corps.
81 believe we will have all the appli-
cants for enlistment we can care for

acute" said Sergeant Warner today.
Richmond Ranks Fourth.
Government statistics now available
show that Richmond ranks fourth in
the United States, in proportion to
population, in the number of enlist
ments secured for the army the past
year.
The Richmond recruiting district,
with the exception of Indianapolis, is
the banner one of the state. and in
proportion to population more men are
secured for service at the local re-
cruiting station than in Indianapolis.
The war department expects an
average of five enlistments per month
in a district of the population Of the
local district, but records of the local
recruiting station show twenty accept
ed enlistments the last sixty days. an
average of ten a month. A number of
applicants were rejected because Of
physical defects.

many, was discussed at length today
at an extraordinary meeting Of the
federal council The text of the Swiss
reply has been telegraphed to Wash
ington and will be published here as
soon as received by President Wilson.
The Swiss telegraphic agency says
that the report that Switzerland will
take charge of German and Austrian
interests in the United States is pre-
mature, although the federal council
will probably accept the task.
Swiss opinion continues strongly to
support President Wilson's action.

Can't Handle Worthy Cases.
But he is unable to deal with
worthy cases, with the deserving poor,
because he hasn't any of the milk of

he alienated their interest.

THE cHAUTAUQUA

Notwithstanding the Indictment
weather Of yesterday, the third day
Of the Chautauqua was as well at.
tended as the days before.
The Hawaiian Concert Company
played in the afternoon and at
night, and judging by the strenuous
applause they received they must
have pleased the audience. Prof.
Wood, who filled the larger part of
the nights entertainment with his
scientific experiments, was, indeed,
treat. His "Gyroscopic" demon
STATIONS were a revelation to many;
as was also his monorail car, and his
ear-torpedo. The learned inventor
and scientific man made the pre-
diction that the war would be over
in 6 months. Today and tonight the
program will be in the hands of
reader, newspaperman, and the
Parish players at night in three one
act plays; a comedy, a drama and
a farce.
Next Monday which is the last
day of the Chautauqua Morgan City
Will have the privilege of hearing
one of the best and smallest Concert
Band of the United States. The cor
not soloist, Al Sweet was formerly
the band master Of the Ringing
Brothers Concert Band, and is we'll

Jay afternoon and night. Besides at
The night performance, the children

ARCADE SUNDAY

Marion Powers Is the wife Of
Robert Powers, an Assistant District
Attorney, blinded by ambition. He
is hopeful t! at the political boss Of
the town, John Moore, will nomi.
nate him for District Attorney.
Powers has the backing in his
scheme Of James Grant, q 'practi-
cal" politician, but this is not sufi-
cient to obtain the nomination.
While Grant is telling Powers Of
the Boss decision, Marion enters
the room, and Grant suggests that
perhaps a woman might induce the
Boss to. change his mind. At the
suggestion Of her husband Marion
goes to thu Boss house and pleads
for her husband. go
Powers in an effort to further his
political ambitions asks the Boss to
spend a\week-end with him. The
Boss is injured, and while recuper-
ating he and Marion finally confess
their love for each other and she.
pleads with her husband to let her
go away. He refuses, telling her
that she must not quit with her sue
cess almost within his grasp. Marion
confesses to her husband her love
for the Boss.
She offers to go away with him,
but the Boss says that because Of his
love for her he will not permit this.
Marion .or fesses to the Boss that
her husband had sent her to visit
him that first time and to try to
make him love her, and that after
ward she loved him for herself.
Powers, hearing the conversation,
rushes to Marion as the Boss leaves
and frantically asks whether she
has obtained the Boss promise to
him. She upbraids her
husband and with a shrug he starts
o leave the house, but meets the
Big Boss in the hall. The Boss tells
lin that he is now convinced that
e was right in declining to give him
be nomination.

SOLDIERS TO HAVE SCREENED
MESS HALL.

Through the efforts of the Moth
er's Club of Morgan City, the SOL
diers of Company &C" now encamp-
ed here in Lawrence Park are to be
provided with screened mess hall
and kitchen. Mrs. E. E. Moberly,
Jr., president of the Mothers Club
and Parish Chairman Of the St.
Mary Chapter of the American Red
Cross Society, has been actively en-
gagged for several days on the mat
ter of this needed accommodation
for the soldiers. Generous contribu-
tons have been made by The Book
Club, The Chamber of Commerce
of Morgan City and Berwick and
others to help defray the costs of
the material to be used. The St.
Mary Chapter of the Red Cross So
ciety is furnishing the most money
for the purpose and the activity Of
the Red Cross in this instance is in
accordance with their creed of
'work for humanity"
Through the courtesy Of Mayor
Shannon and the City Council, Law
renee Park has been turned over
to the soldiers who are here to
guard the important bridges in this
vicinity. Mayor Shannon has sup
piled Captain Collier and his COM
pany with beautiful camp grounds
and has supplied them with pure
drinking water, shower bath systems
and all sanitary accommodations.
probably no training camp in the
South affords soldiers pleasanter
quarters than are now enjoyed by
Company &C" of the First Louisiana
Infantry stationed here.
It seems regrettable to many that
the Southern Pacific Railroad Off
Gals have not seen fit to supply
Captain Collier with the lighting
facilities necessary to properly
guard the great Berwick Bay bridge.
It appears hat it would be an easy
matter for some miscreant to de-
molish the massive structure be-
cause of the lack of light along the
piers at night and because the rail-
.oad has failed to place walk
across the bridge for the patrols. It
s said that it would take weeks and
perhaps months to repair serious
lamage to this bridge, and the fact
hat it is connecting link in one of
he trunk lines of the South would
eem to justify every precaution
icing taken. It is alleged that re-
'eaded reports have been sent to
he railroad officials calling their at
ention to the need for the pier
ights and patrol walk but that they
emain inactive and continue to i'm
eril the structure by their lack of
ction. Morgan City was active in
with the railroad COM
any in securing guards for the
ridge and the city has shown it's ap-
recitation of the War Departments s
esponse. The Southern Pacific, t
owever, whose property is being t
uarded at great expense to the /
overnment, appears to think that
heir responsibility ceased once the i
loops were assigned to this station. i

IMPORTANT DUTY OF PEOPLE
Prompt Repair and Careful Mainten.
ance Of Good Roads ls Essential
Farmer Is Interested.

The making of good roads is one Of
the most important duties Of the
American people, and their prompt
repair and careful maintenance is es-
sential.
There is probably no subject in
which the progressive farmer is more
deenly interested than that of having
roads connecting him with his mar
kets, over which he may be able to
haul the greatest possible load.

WELL KNOWN CONTRACTOR
HERE LOOKING FOR SHIP
YARD SITE.
J. F. Wilhelm of Kansas City, Con.
tractor of the Atchafalava
Bridge Has Turned to Ship
building.

Mr.. J. F. Wilhelm of Kansas City,
Mo-, who is known here % the man
who built the great S. P. Bridge
over Berwick Bay, is here prospect
ing for a site for shipyard. Mr..
Wilhelm has been ~cted
with the Union Building and Con-
struction Company for years and it
was as member of this company
that he had charge of the construc-
ton of the bridge now spanning the
Atchafalaya at this point. Secretary
M. P. Palmer of the Chamber of
Commerce Of Morgan City and Ber-
wick is accompanying the visiting
contractor and putting him in touch
with possible shipyard sizes in Nor
gan City and Berwick. Mr.. Wilhelm
states that he is looking for a site
on which he will be able to construct
as many as five ships at one time.
Having done construction work at
this point and being familiar with
general conditions and their possible
bearing on ship construction, Mr..
Wilhelm will probably only neeG to
be assured that re can secure al
suitable site for operations. He
comes here conversant with every
phase of water transportation, ma
terial and labor conditions and
knows that this location has unus-
ually favorable attractions for such
an enterprise as the building of
ships. Mr.. Wilhelm's further action
will be awaited with interest by cit
liens of Morgan City and Berwick. |
