SPIES Held IN LEASH
Germany Averse to Embittering
America, Restraining Kaiser's.
Hand.

New York, May 25.-The New York
Herald of today says. Hope that
an unembittered America will refuse
to participate in any post-bellum trade
agreement for the crushing OF Ger
man commerce, is what restraints the
kaiser's hand from American citizens
in this country, according to an amer
lean citizen just returned from Berlin.
This man, whose relatives in Ger
many would suffer were his name di-
vulged, was in position while in the
Prussian capital to get authentic in
formation on the civil and military
situation in the empire.
While the kaiser will treat Amer
lean military or naval forces as enc
mics, the returned traveller said, he
will confne his belligerency toward
America to attacks on these FORCES.
German spies in the United States,
who are ready at their emperor's word
to begin systematic campaign of de-
struction against our munition iacto-
ries, shipyards, and transportation
routes, are being held in leash to
avoid raising American ire to the
point where we shall be willing to join
the English demand of "Germania de-
lendaest."
Despite our declaration of war, Ger
many still relies on President Wilson
to check British vindictiveness'
when final peace negotiations are be-
gun.
From the same informant, the
Herald learned that the flower Oh the
German officers corps has passed
through the first three years Of the
war almost unscathed. Every officer
of high birth, showing marked mill
tary ability, has been kept back OF
the lines, while men of lesser merit
have been sent into action.
This. it is rumored among Ameri-
cans in Germany, is either for the
purpose Of conserving the best mate
rial until the final test CT strength
between Tcuton and entente or TO
maintain the integrity OF the mill
tary caste in event of a possible re-
:tion when the lower classes be-
come thoroughly sick of the struggle.
Such revolution, this man said,
cannot take place today while Ger
many has al of her able-hccied men

munition factories, leaving at nome

are helpless before the army.

FRANKLIN MEETING OF WOMEN
DEFENSE COUNCIL

The meeting of the St. Mary Di-
vision Woman's Committee Council of
National Defense held in the Court
House Thursday October II, 1917,
was called to order by our efficient
Chairman, Miss Bessie Sanders, who
expressed great pleasure in seeing
that the women throughout the par
ish had so readily answered the call.
Each of the fifteen Voting Precints
was represented, and there were full
ly three hundred women present.
Judge Baker gave an address of
welcome that was a eulogy on Wom-
en- thoroughly enjoyed. Mrs. Storm,
member of the State Executive Coun-
Gil Woman's Committee Of National
Defense followed with an address on
"Service.
After these two very beautiful adj
dresses, Miss Sanders, with the gen.
erous help of the Clerk Of Court, gave
the women final instructions as to
their duties on registration day.
The Governor having declared a
holiday, and appointing the school
teachers to have charge Of the food
conservation cards, has lightened the
duties of each precinct chairman.
As Louisiana is not included in the
registration of the United States, DR..
Bowling asks the women to bring her
up to standard in vital statistics when
they register. There will be table
and cards with some one in charge to
get the names Of any children born in
the parish since the first of the year
This completing the business, the
meeting adjourned.
