to the movement of troops or
other important government af-
fairs. We knew that the secret
agents of Germany got possession
o ftheSe facts often before we did
and communicated them to their
government; but that did not ex-
onerate us from our obligation to
withhold the information as far
asSwe were concerned.
This respect for the wishes Of
the constituted authorities of our
government in this instance was
not coerced either; it was a vol

our country; and so it is with all
patriotic citizens who under

We do not blame any citizen OF
this country for guarding jealous

it is his duty to do so-but ne

through our principal streets
after which the crowd assembled
in the Court House square where
was held one of the most patrl-
otic rallies ever held in this sec
ton and where eloquent speak
ing took place.
Hundreds of our citizens stood
and listened most attentively to
the various speakers on the pro-
gram. The meeting was called to
order by Judge L. O. Hacker and
after stating in few words the
objects and purposes Of the meet
ing, proceeded to introduce the
speakers. The first was Mr.. Jules
Dreyfus who made a most elo-
quent appeal to the audience to
Loyalty support the cause OF de-
mocracy as against the autocracy
of the Hohenzollerns. Mr.. Drey-
fus pictured the Prussian system

Y. M. G. A. WAR WORK.

"One thousand men to raise
$500, 600" was the slogan adopted
at q conference of Y. M: C.. A. war

andria Wednesday. More than
two Hundred @bdsihess and : pre-
fessional men from all parts of
the state were in attendance.
These. workers will go back to or
ganize the work in every parish IN
the State. OF the total amount
of $35, 100000 to be raised in the
nation Louisiana was apportioned
1925, ,O00,- but the delegates, think
ing the amount too small to ex-
press their interest in the work,
raised the goal to 100000, which
amount will be raised in cam
paign beginning November II and
lasting until November 49, The
money will be used in Y. NJ. c. A.
work among the soldiers and sail
ors of the United States and her
allies and among the prisoi !, Of
var in Europe.
Major General II. C. Hodges

expressing their deep appreciation
and strong endorsement of the
work as they had seen it in the
training camp. Gen. HODGES
said: "It teaches men to help

HAITI FADES AWAY.

From the foreign press we often
learn a good deal of home news
from the Toronto Saturday Night
we gain the impression that to all
intents and purposes Haiti has be-
come part Of the assets Of Uncle
Sam. If this be so the America
papers have beaten no drums
about it. The Saturday Night
says:
"The Republic of Haiti has,
quietly passed out. A few days
since the American Army officer
who had been in temporary charge
of Haitian affairs spoke softly to
the assembled multitude, to the
effect that these colored gentle
men need not hold any further
elections, and that the United
States would assume full RESPONSE
bility for the future conduct Of the
island of Haiti. AS all the fire
arms had long since been gathered
in from the natives by United
States officials, the proclamation
did not create any unnecessary
stir. For upward Of a hundred
years Haiti has endeavored to gov
ern herself, but always with dis
astrous results. The amount of
it is that the Haitian is not fit for
self-government. The country's
finances are in a chaotic condi-
tion. The island is greatly over
populated; imagine two and one
half million people cooped up on
ten thousand square miles, ami
with no disposition to be indus
trious at that. The country S
trade has been steadily decreas-
ing, and there is not. now sufficient
money in the treasury to meet the
bond interest. This means that
the United States will be obliged
to assume all these responsible
ties, fcancial and otherwise, and
bring Haiti out Of the slough into
which a century of misgovern-
ment has precipitated her. Ir
connection with the United States
attempt TO advance Haitian inter-
dsts #, is interesting to note that I
the officers of the United States
Marid6 Corps stationed on .the.is-t
and nave been busflq sfrzAeed de-:
veloping its agricultural resour-
ces. They have cleared large
tracts Of land that the native was
too lazy to cultivate, and expect
soon to be able to export large
quantities Of fruits and vegetables.
Haiti has long been one Of the
of the Caribbean, and it
IS to be hoped and expected, now
that Uncle Sam has taken the
tiller in earnest, there will be
distinct change for the better. In
my event, the United States will
zee to it that the country will miss
is usual monthly revolution"

SUSPENSION OF CERTAIN
PRIVILEGES.

All intelligent and patriotic cit
izens recognize and appreciate the
fact that it sometimes becomes
necessary for the freest of govern
ments to restrict both free speech
and free press, and in extreme
conditions to suspend them.
In time Of peace our state and
federal governments allow them
very great altitude; so much SO
that mere words in speech or print
are not regarded as acts of trea-
son, requiring overt acts to con-
stitute that crime; but in times Of
war, instructions or riots this js
all changed and persons are ar
rested and charged with treason
for being too free of speech. The
privilege is suspended and in ex-
treme eases martial law supplants
civil liberty and men must guard
carefully their utterance in speech
or print: and the man of discre-
tion Yields ready obedience to the
mandate. whether he likes it or
not.
This has been very forcibly H.
Illustrated since we entered the
war. A mere hint was sufficient

of autocraey in telling phrases ;
and showed how the rat system o.
Germany operated against the
masses and only served to estab-
lish and make more powerful the
junkers, who planned and willed
this war.
The next speaker was Hon.
Walter J. Burke who showed how
the German military machine
dominated the German masses
and how for years they had been
taught to support a Government
against their own interest, a gov
ernment for the rulers and not
for the people. He pictured the
evils Of the autocratic system ct
Germany and showed the blessing Z
that came to freemen in a free
country. He paid eloquent tri-
butte to our President and said
that this war was indeed fought
to make the "world safe for De
mocracy." Like Mr.. Dreyfus ne
appealed to the people to back our
government and the boys in the
trenches by buying Government
Liberty Bonds, which bear four
per cent interest and form one
of the safest of investments.

gramWas Mr.. A. C. Bernard who
forcefully excoriated the Huns,
Hohenzollerns and hell-hounds,
as he. termed those who had
brought about all the barbaric
horrors Of this war. He said he
believed in calling spade a
spade for too long had the rest Of
the world stood stupidity. idle,
while Germany for forty yeaks
sharpened her knives for her as
saulti on civilization, and as this
menace was real he believed we
should put up the money not only
willingly, but quickly, so as to
make short work Of the war and
stop the. food Of blood that was
drenching all Of Europe and would
drench this country if the war
lords of Germany won. He be-
lieved that the savage treatment
of the women, children and non
,cOmbatants of Northern France
and Belgium would be repeated i'll
this country if the Modern
Hun" won this war. He thought
that our people needed to be
aroused to the fact that it was
not threesthousand miles of ocean
that separated them from the Ger
man war machine, but only the
French Army and British Fleet.
He told of the German philosophy
of might making right and the
theory Of Divine rule and thought
that the world should not only
be made safe for Democracy but
safe for civilization. He asked
the audience to not. let their dol
lars be more precious than the
lives of their boys, to buy Lib
erty Bonds to the limit, for every
liberty bond bought 'swas a bull
let in the brain of the Kaiser.
After all, neither money nor life
would be worth anything if the
flag Of Hollenzollernism was ever
raised in this country. !
