NJ. G. Duncan.

!
born near Pine, of this parish.
December, 18, 1871. He spent
the early years of his life near
the place Of his BIRTH, with very
little advantages in the matter of
training. In early manhood he
became known as a man of great
personal courage and although
for the past several years he had
been a quiet, aw.abiding citizen,
ne was known for his bravery
and steadfastness throughout
his life.
He was married on Feb. 8.
1897, to Rosella Thomas, which
union was blessed with seven
children, six girls and one boy.
About fifteen years ago he be-
came.a member of the Baptist
church and since that time, his
life had borne evidence to the
fact that he was a christian in
the real sense of the word.
He was man that loved his
home and who provided for it by
honest labor and protected it
with the strong arm of righte.
Gus integrity.
In his community he stood for
what he thought was right, re.
gardless of the consequences.
He believed in clean society, in
good schools, in progressive
churches and to any of these
causes he willingly lent a help,
ing hand.
For sometime he had been a
member Of the parish school
board in which capacity he serv.
ed with zeal and intelligence.
On the evening of Thursday,
the 22nd day of August, while
attending to his gin at Hackley,
his right arm became entangled
in the machinery of the gin.head
and was so lacerated that after
the arrival of the physician, it
was found necessary that he be
removed to the hospital in b.
galusa. On his arrival there, the
lacerated arm was amputated,
but the great loss of blood and
worry of the long trip from
Hachley toBogalusa had so weak.
ened him that he failed to re-
vive from the effects of the
anesthetic and shortly after
midnight he passed out of this
life. His body was buried near
the home of his brother, John
Duncan, on Saturday morning
with Masonic ceremonies, follow
ed by the funeral which was
conducted by Rev. Wallace.
Mr.. Duncan was a staunch
friend, an honest business man,
a devoted husband, a loving hus.
band, and a model citizen. He
passed out of this world. mourn.
ed, not only by his family and
relatives bya host of admiring
and trusting friends.

SEES FINS FOR GERMANIA'
IF ENGLAND WINS WAR
Prof. Haeckel Says Enemy May
Rightly Be Called "the De-
stroyer of Peoples"

LONDON, April 6-Telegraphing
from The Hague. the Exchange Tele-
graphs correspondent says the German
ministry of finance publishes the fol-
lowing letter. written by Prof. Ernst
Heinrich Haeckel, professor of zoology
in the University of Jena. as propa-
ganda for the sixth German war loan:
you have asked my opinion of this
cruel world war. My answer, founded
on the words of our three greatest he
roes, Won Hindenburg. Ludendorf and
Won Tirpitz, is, Down with England
at any price"
Should England, who brought about
this war and now Is succeeding in her
design of getting the whole world
against us, win the war there would
follow a British peace and the destruc-
ton of our dear fatherland. 1t would
be fms for Germania- England is
rightly called the destroyer of peo-
pies She will treat US as she has
treated Ireland.
Il have known England for fifty
years and still admire her for her great
cultural and scientific work; but I
have also known England's immeasur-
able national egoism and swelled-head-
edness Some of our sentimental Ger
mans believe an understanding is still
possible with our most cruel enemy.

STOP FOREIGN COMMERCE.
After two and One-half years of the
European war, from which we had
hoped that we were immune because
of our isolated location and for other
good reasons, we have come to the
edge of the fearful precipice. Shall
we leap into the heIlish chasm? Or
will some good angel open our eyes
to the utter needlessness Of this, and,
withal, the fearful consequences Of
it?
And we had hoped that we could
be the kindly mediator between the
warning nations!
Isn't it strange that the ethics of
nations conflict so strongly with
those of individuals?
Apart from the legal liability in
the case, a man is frowned upon by
his neighbors if he settles his dis
putes with his fists or a gun.
Well, we have made some advance
in civilization: fist fights and duell-
ing are OutlaWed.
Arbitration and court DEGREES have
proven more effective for the indi-
viduaI than the old methods. This
being the case, what logical objec-
ton could be presented against their
adoption by nations as nations?
War cannot be supported by either
logic or justice.
When a man commits murder he
alone is held responsible for the act,
unless, of course, he has accompIices. |
We do not say to an innocent /
neighbor Of the murderer, Now, you
go after that man and beat him to
a pulp or let him grind you to atoms;
whoever wins out is justified in the

eyes of the law" No! Just as likely
as not the murderer, if a better pugi-
list than the other, would be JUS
titled in the eyes of the law" And
what recompense could be given the
innocent victim? ItWould simply be
another murder.
Yet that is just the way that ma
lions set out to settle their differ
ences. Both the nation that is ag-
grieved and the aggressor set up
thousands, perhaps millions of their
men, innocent citizens, to be shot if
they cannot succeed in killing the
other fellows. Whichever side wins
out is Justified"
Now, if we should 90 to war with
Germany, l am afraid that it would
be the Teutons who would be Jus
titled"
We are in no shape to go to war
with any nation, least OF all Ger
many who is postmaster in the art
of war. We have long known of the
possibilities of war, yet we have been
industrioUsly shipping to one Of the
beligerents the arms and ammunf-
ton that would be needed in this
event.
Pray, what would we fight with,
our fists, if our government should
plunge us into war?
We must not forget that it would
not be necessary for US to declare
war; an act of war would serve the
same purpose. One of our Illinois
senators in speaking of the power
that would be given the president in
the ship armament bill is thus quoted
in one of the Chicago dailies:
THAT right exercised is an act of
war. l shall vote for the bill, but I
want no one to be deluded regarding
the responsibilities which it entails.
And when 1 saythat I shall vote for
the bill want to say that viii vote
for war if that must come in order
