Germans Reeapture Lasnieourt.


 Realizing that the important town of Queant. the switch point of the Eindenburg line, was threatened by the close proximity of the British, the Germans early today launched an at- tack from there over a six mile front. While suffering immediate reverses everywhere else, they managed by the concentration of artillery to recapture Lagnicourt, opposite Queant, which was taken from them several weeks ago. Their victory at this point was short lived. however, for the British tmme ediate1y counter-attacked and re- took Lagnicourt with more than two hundred prisoners, and catching the retreating Germans under an inten- sive field gun fire, cut them to bits. Thus ended the first real defensive offensive" the Germans have attempt ed since the battle of Arras began.
 Germans PalpabIy Nervous.
 From one end of the British front to the other the Germans are palpably nervous. Where they have been driven erishly digging at every opportunity. particularly at night. Each morning new airpiane photographs show the re- suits of the nocturnal activities behind trenches are merely emergency de- lenses built at angles with a view to giving cover to machine guns with which the Germans hope to delay the British advance until further work can make the rear defenses tenable.
 1indenbure Line Not Complete.
 1t is now stated that no part of the Hindenburg line was expected to be completed until the end of April, de- spite the claims that the recent west ern retirement has been entirely ac- cording to German plans.
 Where the Germans stiil noid their positions north of Loos the slightest movement by the British sends them into panic Flares and signal rock cts of all colors spring from their trenches. Bombs are cast into No

RED CROSS NOTES.

At our meeting on last Friday
MAY 11th our membership roll was
increased fifty members, with an
increase IN membership of the men
of the community. 1t was our in
tention to publish the names Of all
men OH our roll this week, bnt We
find the percentage so small that
we are going to give them another
week, to get on the honor roll.
Brothers If you can't serve your
country in the field you certainly
can in the Red Cross by joining
this branch of government. The
number of voters in the city OF
New iberia is Sal, of this number
at the present writing, only 20
men have joined the work in the
City of New Iberia. We have a
large list of men in the parish, but
by actual count only seventy five
in the town Of New Iberia We
feel confident that this has not
been through anything but ne
glect, and would now ask every
man who is a voter to come and
add his name to the Red Cross.
Lists have been placed at Lees,
raylor's, Segura's and Estorge
Drug Co. where you may leave
your name and membership fee of
sl.O0 for years due. You as a
voter have enjoyed the privilege
of helping to govern the country
IN time of peace, and shared all
the freedom and comfort that
those men have, who have re
sponded to this call, now that We
must assume the responsibility of
war, we trust you will respond
and assume your share. Please
bear in mind this Is no womens or
ganizatioD, our President of the
United States ia the National
head. True women, must do a
great deal Of the work for the
civic branch, in making garments,
and bandages etc, but we must
have the support of our brothers
financially for the material with
which to do this work
The executive committee Of Ibe-
ria Chapter is composed Of men
who have always taken part in
every thing tor the good of the
community. The following gen
tlemeD compose this committee.

The fi0ance committee is now
being appointed, and their names
will be published next week.
They are men who have all been
largely connected with the finances
of our Parish.
We have been asked to publish
A list of me IN bers, but as the list
now numbers nearly 400 we will
wait until we reach the 500 We
must have. The Papers are doing
all printing gratis, and We must
consider them. &. B. q.

A citizen Of this parish, we'll
known for his clever ability to
successfully can fruits and garden

In the city election there will 81
no party strength called into evi
dence. 1t will be a case OF thu
greatest number Of voters who vii
favor the winning candidate will
their votes in the first, second aDd
third degree of choice.
1t is not a question Of party
but rather a question Of who vii
best fiji the office of all those of
ferlDg.
The preferential system Of vot
ing is designed rather for the pur
pose of bringing the voters to
gether in an effort to selec, the
candidate Of the greatest promise
Therefore, the first, second and
third choice that the voter is priv
ileged to indicate upon his ballot
before casting.
One Of the candidates has sent
out circular letters to the voters
which is fully IN accord with the
system. This letter, besides an
nouncing for one Of the positions,
carries the statement: "And not
wanting to harrass and inconveni
ence the voters by continually
counting and begging their sup
port, as l have the highest respect
for the opinion and selection by
the voters, Of their choice of pub
lie Office, X" indicating that be
is willing TO trust the voters ablli
ty to cast his vote without the
trucking or fawning presence Of
the candidate. 1t is dlgnlfied and
indicates that this candidate will
not sacrifice his own self respect
for the sake of office.
When the voters will become
awake to their own best interest
they will fully analyze the claims
of such candidate and his com
potency to fill the Office he an
nounces for, before dismissing the
announcement, for the teasing,
fawning, persistent promising pro
tes,ations Of some possible com
petit0r.
In other cases, misstatements
are made of the most exaggerated
character, evidently intended to
prejudice the voter against his first
choice candidate. In justice to all
the candidates we wish it under.
stood that we do not charge that
any one candidate has made such
misrepresentations but we do claim
that there is evidence that such
Misrepresentation have been made
by some over jealous booster, in
the hope of winning a vote for one
Of the candidates. The only hope
Of success for such a scheme is il
the ignorance of the voter, of the
real facts of the case.
