WILL YOU GIVE A SACK
TO THE RED CROSS?G

The above inquiry made of many
# the principal rice growers in this
,icinity the past week has elected
ao cheerful information that nearly
syery farmer is willing to give a
,,,k and some of them two for the
boneft of the Red Cross. So far
be committee, headed by Mrs. W.
2 Gabbert, who have adopted this
Elective as we'll as novel method of
aising funds, has secured the prom
i,e Of nearly sixty sacks of rice, and
ether product, including 5 gallons of
sorghum molasses!
The aggregate of this collection
VII be sold at auction to the last
and highest bidder. The pulling off
4 this auction promises to be inter-

THE GREATEST WAR PICT-
URES SEPT. % AND 20
Will be Shown Under Auspices of
the Local Chapter of the
American Red Cross.

The greatest war pictures ever
produced, "The Tanks at the Bat
tie of Ancre," will be shown at the
auditorium on the nights of Friday
and Saturday, September 28th and
18th, the proceeds for the benefit of
the Red Cross. The presentation of
this great feature is being handled
by the entertainment committee
headed by Mrs. Greer, one of the
five COMMITTEES heading the great
drive for the Red Cross funds.
/ These marvellous motion pictures,
photographed by authority of the
British government and taken dur
ing the actual battle of the Ancre,
one of the most momentous and CO.
lossal battles in the worlds history,
take you out upon the field of con-
flict, shows the Allied soldiers actu-
ally leap from the first line trenches
and charge across "No Mans Land"
to attack the German position. 1t
pictures the torrential rain Of ar
tillery fire that swept the enemy
trenches, it shows in actual battle
the giant Tanks" the mammoth
war monsters, the dreadnoughts of
the land, leaping trenches, cutting
their way through barbed wire en-
tanglements and splitting out their
death like colossal fire breathing
dragons. 1t shows the capture whole
regiments of German troops, scenes
in dressing and commissary camps
and pictures as only the unlying eye
of the camera can, the grim reality
and stupendous drama of modern
warfare.
: These pictures are being present
ed on two successive nights for the
very apparent reason that the seat
ing capacity of the auditorium is
not capable of accommodating all of
the people who will want to see
them at one time. Other pictures
and appropriate musical numbers,
different at each performance will
complete the programs.
f, One of the members of this COM
mittee recently ovrheard a man re-
mark that he would gladly give five
dollars to see motion pictures of the
actual fighting on the British and
French fronts. This is his oppor-
tunity and he will not have to pay
five dollars or travel a long distance.
The admission will be Is cents for
children and rs cents for adults, but
in as much as it is a benefit affair
any person who feels like paying
more for admission will be permitted
to do so.
The committee is making an eff
fort to give the pictures a wide ad-
vertising so that everyone may have
an opportunity to see them. but as
the time is limited an appeal is made
to the public to pass the word along
to the remotest parts of the parish,
and into all of the highways and by
ways that no one may be overlooked.

SOLDIERS LEAVE FOR
TRAINING CAMP
Greeted all Along the Line by Great
Enthusiastic Farewell,

OF soldiers passing through Welsh
Wednesday afternoon at 2:15 on a
special train were greeted by a
fthrong of citizens, all enthusiastic
to impress their farewell on the
young men whom fate has unloaded
a gigantic task. 1t was a large gain
ering but not jolly one, for a
tinge of sadness drew lines on nearly
every cOuntenance no matter how
hardened, for all the departing men
are Severing ties that are strong;
fathers, mothers, sisters and in many
instances wives and children, feel
the sting even more than their
loved ones, though their grief is in
a measure overcome by the knowl-
edge that their loved ones go to per-
form great patriotic, duty for civ
ilization. History will be revised in
the future and into it will be en-
bedded the personalities of these
stalwart Americans whom fate has
decreed shall defend christian civil
ization.
The schools were dismissed for
the occasion and the children march
ed to the depot all waving their flag
as the train passed. Although the
stop here was not long enough to
give everyone an opportunity to
shake their hands and personally
greet them, they went to the training
camp with the knowledge that the
sacrifice is duly appreciated.
The quota from Welsh included E.
F. Hardcastle, Arthur Romero, Ell
mer Goodreau, Barney Lee Reynolds,
VIM. Trammel, A. Rosseau, Emile
Fuselier, Joe Lognion and Frank
Lewis. The men were in charge of
Earl Mcmillan, officer in charge,
and E. F. Hardcastel, assistant, on
the journey to Camp Pike. The
special train bearing them left
Jennings at LAS. 1t was scheduled to
stop at Lake Charles until $3.50,
leaving over the Kansas City South
ern.
The soldiers were greeted by a
great farewell demonstration at Jen-
nings before leaving. The combined
Welsh and Jennings bands furnish
ing music for the gathering. 1t is
said that many tears were shed, by
relatives and friends as well as the
departing soldiers.

Americans on Italian Front.

Italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Nov. 28.-Brig. Gen. Scriven,
Of tho United States army, has ar
rived at headquarters to study the
Italian situation and make series of
reports to the American government.
Major Murphy, head of the American
Red Cross in Europe, is also here to
coordinate the work OF his organi-
zation.
Reports from the front show that
the enemy Is still persistent, but lit
tie is lett of the former vigor Of at
tack and resorting to old devices of
cunning.
An American military authority,
summarizing the situation, said
while danger was not over, It seemed
certain that the enemy could not
pass the Italian line.
