ed plotters.

and Stallforth," the witness said '1n
which told Rintelen that any plan to
stop the export OF munitions based on
bringing about labor strikes was
absurd and silly. l said this country
was playing the game and making the
best OF its opportunities.

strikes was the height OF folly and
absurdity and destined to collapse"
Meloy's testimony was cut short by
adjournment. The court announced
that the court will adjourn today, be-
cause of the reception of the French
war commission by the city.
William E. Delehunty OF this city,
publisher of a trade paper, testified
that in 1915, he went to Bridgeport,
Conn. at the request of Henry B.
Martin, a member Of the peace coun-
Gil and one OF Rintelen's co-defend-
ants to report to him on a munition
strike there. He said Martin paid his
expenses and instructed him to assist
the strikers.

New York, May 9.-That he had told
Capt. Franz Rintelen that his plans to
stop the export OF war supplies from
this country to the entente allies were
the height of folly" and doomed to

room in his Offices through a sub-ten-
ant named Frederick Stallforth. His
attention was first directed to Rintelen

DON'T THINK Much OF
COMPULSORY CHECKING
City Father of Opinion that State Law
Should Be Changed-Great
EXPENSE,

City commissioners do not think
much Of the state law making it nee
sary that offices of city and county
officials be inspected by state bank
examiners. The commission received
letter this morning from J. r. Wat
ers, state bank examiner, stating that
the city owed his office $3.50 for the in
spection of the accounts of the city
auditors and treasurer's offices last
fall.
The city fathers seem to be of the
opinion that no real benefit results
from these inspections, considering the
high cost of the work.
The city auditor was instructed to
write to Mr.. Waters asking him to
render a formal bill.

uttered upon the completion of

A Little Late, But Quite Satisfactory

A Little Late. But Quite Satisfactory.
On our first page this week we
print an article from the Pollock
Press, of Nov. 80, under the cap
ton, Our Side of the Question +"
1t is an apology and correction of
an untruthful statement relative
TO the Colfax Chronicle made by
the Press in its issue of Nov. 9.
The apology comes a little late,
but it is quite satisfactory to us,
save as to one or two intimations
that were entirely unnecessary
and were not borne out by the
facts. The Chronicle force did
not correct the figures on the
press" as Editor White pretends
to imagine may have been done,
and neither he nor any one else
ever saw any such incorrect fig
ures in this paper. The figures
were set up absolutely correct il
the Chronicle Office, no such err
ror having appeared in the proof
sheet or IN any single copy of
nearly a thousand issues of the
Chronicle printed and distributed
In Grant parish. However, since
the editor of the Press in his
statement, "OurSide of the Cues |
tion," pleads guilty to honest
Misrepresentation, we will let !
1t go at that, and shall consider
the incident closed.

ferson Highway through this parish
Hon. J. d. Clarkson, general manager
replies as follows:
Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 2, 1917.
Mr.. II. G. Goodwin, Colfax, La.
Dear Mr.. Goodwin Replying to you,
favor of recent date, will say that yor
are certainly entitled to the enamelec
signs, and instructions were given at
this office long ago to ship them to you,
but upon investigation, after receiving
your letter, find for some unknown
cause the shipment has not been made.
This will be attended to at once.
You will be sent "a signs with full
and complete instructions for putting
them up. l trust that these instruc-
tons will be thoroughly read and un-
derstood and fully complied with, as
we very much desire that the marking
and signing of the Highway shall be
fully standard from end to end.
The Association does not expect to
furnish signs for each cross street in
the towns. These signs are especially
for cross roads and diverging roads in
the country. When these roads have
been supplied, there will be no objec-
ton to using the surplus signs in the
towns, at the main intersecting streets.
Was pleased to learn that the actual
construction of the Highway will soon
be under way.
Thanking you for calling our atten.
ton to the signs. and with kindest re-
CARDS to all, remain.
Sincerely yours,
j. D. GARRISON.

The latest report from the Nantachi
Oil & Gas Co. is that the drill is now
down 1850 feet, and they are making
progress so to 100 feet each day. They
are now boring through an "anticline"
formation of about $50 feet The geo.
logical formation "anticline" is said to
be recognized by oil men as fine indi-
cation, as the majority of producing
wells have been found after drilling
through such formations of the earth s
crust.

Plenty of Corn to Bring Down Food
Prices.

v
new York, Dec. 6.-Lower prices in
meat. milk and other commodities as .
result OF the enormous crop of corn
which Is expected will be distributed
through the country by January Is. was
forecast by Federal Food Administrators
hoover In statement Tuesday night.
He declared that this extraordinary cron
is the certain economic remedy for
high prices.
In addition to the above tele-
gram a dispatch from Washing
ton OF SAME date says that bread
prices are to tumble on Dec. TO-"
The reason for this is that the
War Emergency Council has rec
commended an immediate reduc-
ton wherever possible in bread
prices throughout the country.
In order to enforce this the bak-
ing industry is to be put under
the license system, and there
should be an immediate reduc-
ton to the retailer and consumer.
The exhorbitant prices that
have prevailed in Louisiana are
the direct result of greed and
speculation, and the advantage
that has been taken of short
crops of corn and hay in this
State. while the country at large
has made good crops. The mat
ter should be looked into by the
War Council.

10 Wish to Impair Austria.

''fS's ~ sttfatT AuSlFia.
We owe it. however, to ourselves
TO say that We do not wish in anv
way to impair or to rearrange the
Austria-Hungarian empire. 1t is no
affair OF ours what they do with their
own life, either industrially or polit-
icaily. We do not purpose or desire
to dictate to them in any way. We
only desire to see that their affairs
are left in their own hands, in all
matters, great or small. We shall
hope to secure for the peoples of the
Balkan peninsula, for the people of
the Turkish empire the right and op-
portunity to make their own lives
safe. their own fortunes secure
against oppression or injustice and
from the dictation of foreign courts
or parties.
And our attitude and purpose with
regard to Germany herself are of a
like kind We intend no wronx
against the German empire; no inter-
ference with her internal affairs. We
should deem either the one or the 9TH
er absolutely unjustifiable, absolutely.
contrary to the principles we have pro-
fessed to live by and to hold most
sacred throughout our life as ma
ton.
