ERECT NEW STRUCTURE.
Manufacturers and Merchants De.
 mand Larger Exhibit Space.

Leading manufacturers and mer' chants of New Orleans, as well as 8 number of others having a national distribution for their goods, will be represented by comprehensive exhfb' it's at the National Farm and Live Stock Show in that city, Nov. 1919. At the initial show, in 1916, large building provided for the purpose was found to be insufficient to meet the demands of such exhibitors, and this year another big structure has been erected.
 The outlook is that every foot of space in the two buildings will be oc- cupied during the 1917 fair by the dis plays of enterprising manufacturers and merchants, ready to greet their friends from the outlying districts. The Merchants and Manufacturers Bureau of the New Orleans Associa- tion of Commerce has appointed a committee which will make number of attractive awards for the best ex' hibits.

Football Rules
Changes Are Few

Football guides for the season Of
1917 are out, making enthusiasts
realize that the day of the moleskin
warrior is not far away.
The Spalding official guide, edited
by Walter Camp, has made its annual
appearance. The list of games sched-
uled for the coming season was COM
piled previous to the declaration Of
war, and although in some instances
contests have been Cancelled since,
the majority of these will remain the
same, it is believed, except in this
section of the country, possibly,
whete the later opening date Of the
institutions may cause some changes.
OF principal interest to players and
enthusiasts is the question Of the
rule changes. These are few, and
tend toward simplifying the game.
AS the rules have been proving more
and more satisfactory to players and
public, the rules committee has tend
ed more and more to the belief that
the rules should be allowed to crys-
tallize as nearly as possible in their
present form.
OF those changes that were made
for the season of 1917, the most i'm
portant, in all probability, was the
one that prevents an incoming sub
stitute from communicating with his
team on the field until after his first
play. If he replaces the quarterback,
however, he is allowed to give his
signal.
A place kick is more clearly de-
fined and must be made by kicking
the ball from its position when rest
ing on the ground. A player may
scrape up the earth but may not make
use of artificial tees. On kickoffs
and free kicks not made from scrim-
mage, the players may be in motion
in any direction, provided they are
on side when the ball is kicked. ,c

We have been moved to the far-away

here are the best yet, not like those
in the little village, where we were in

and down and around our beds, until
we were forced to turn our flash

The only apparent danger here is
from gas, and all the school children
as well as the grandfathers carry gas
masks slung over their shoulders.
We serve three postes. One, a small
town near 2, where we merely
evacuate the blesses trains, and the
two front line postes, one Of which is
only one mile from the front trench
es. We stay on duty near the front
trench for two days at a time, max

Of about a dozen deep dugouts lined
with steel girders and cement, strung
out along the side of hill. We even
have a bomb-proof for our cars. Our

I realized this when I got here.
Things that impressed me were the
ever-whispered conversations and the
air of alertness and expectancy as II
the nerves were being strained to
catch the slightest sound. There
seemed to be a deathly stiffness. Both
the men and dogs seemed to be bun
dies OF nerves. I stopped to pat a
dog in one of the dugouts that was
unaware of my intention, and as soon
as my hand touched him he retired as
though a hot iron had scared him. 1t
is the terrific explosions that wreck
the nerves. Still, in my idle moments

SWISS WELCOME
BRAND WHITLOCK
Belgians Give United States
Minister a Touching
Farewell
BY Associated Press

Berne, April 4.-Brand Whitlock,
American minister to Belgium, reached
Berne at o'clock. last evening look
ing worn and weary. He admitted
feeling extremely nervous and fatgued
after the tremendous strain under
which he has been working, which has
been especially hard during the last
few weeks. Mr.. Whitlock was accom-
panied from Zurich to Berne by Pleas
ant A. Stovall, American minister to
Switzerland. who, with the legation
attaches, went part of the way TO the
frontier with him.
The Swiss government sent three
high officers to Schaffhausen to meet
the Americans to accompany them TO
Zurich. From Brussels to the frontier
the Whitlock party was escorted by
Baron Won Falkenhausen, an official
especially delegated by Governor-Gen-
eral Won Kissing. The party left Brus-
sells on Monday night on special
train.
Chinese With Party
In addition to sixty Americans COM
prising the legation staff, consular
agents and all but five of the Belgian
Relief Commission officials, Mr.. Whit
lock travelled with the Chinese charge
d'affaires from Brussels with his stan
and their families. The Chinese Of
fcials had received instructions to
leave Brussels for EaNre at almost the
same time as the Americans.
Mr.. Whitlock described his de-
parture from Brussels as extremely
touching The Belgans, who since the
breach of relations between the United
States and Germany have been pa
thetically anxious lest the departure
of the Americans might mean starva-
ton for them, gathered by thousands
at the Care du Nord to say farewell
1t was feared there would be some
demonstration which would bring
down the anger of the German au-
thorities and cause some reprisal on
the Belgians, but the latter. realizing
this themselves, remained almost en-
tirely silent, although many wept AS
the train pulled out of the station an
occasional "Vive Amerique" broke the
quiet. but the majority stood with
barred heads and contented themselves
with waving hats and handkerchiefs.
