To bloom AMONG the blest.

And bleeding hearts cried stay"
The Angels softly bore her

Can heal this mothers pain.
Oh. Lillian! So Young and happy
Why did you have to go?

And not all eternal goodbye

Father Tretoux'S Departure
Generally Regretted.

Very deep and general was the
regret felt in ST. Martinville last
week, when the announcement
came that the Rev. Father Tro-
touX had been transferred to a
new field of labor in New Orleans.
Father Trotoux had so endeared
himself to the parishioners of st.
Martins Church that it was with
sorrow they saw the day come
when they had reached the part
ing Of the ways.
About three years ago Rev. Fa-
ther TretouX WAS appointed to St.
Martinville to assist the Very Rev.
Father Norm, who was laid to rest
less than year ago, after years of
faithful discharge of the duties in
the Church. Owing to the long
and severe illness of Father Mo
rim. most of the duties of the pa
IRISH fell to the lot of Father Tro-
toux. who, forever mindful of the
holy words of Scripture, leave
all and follow me-, took up the
cross of Christ with unlimited pa
thence and smile upon his lips
and went about doing good.
Whenever his voice WAS raised
from the pulpit to speak the truths
of God, not only his remarkable
eloquence, but the very great silf-
cerity in the faith. touched the
remotest corners i'll the hearts Of
all his congregation. Again,
through his Jealous and strenuous
efforts, the graveyard. which had
been sadly neglected of late years,
was in some way remodeled, and a
life-sized statue of our Savior on
the cross was placed in the main
aisle, forever bringing to the mind
the great sufferings and death of
our Lord. A beautiful concrete
walk and handsome fence Were
also erected, all of which will ever
stand as a fitting memorial of Fa-
ther Trotoux's good work and great
zeal and love for God while labor
ing in st. Martinville. Though
his presence is no longer there, he
still lives, and will forever live. in
the hearts of the flock. who feel
that the bonds of mutual affection
and friendship which bind them
are not severed by his transfer.
and who pray that Gods choicest
blessings may follow him always
The Morning Star.

are now mixing from 20 to 25 per cent of maize meal, rice and other cereals with flour. Neither our people nor the peoples on the continent have equip ment for making maize bread, nor do they understand it's value. The Ameri- can people have long since recognized the superior value of maize as human food. It will take months to get our people trained to it and in the mean time we have got to have bread There fore from now on, until harvest at least, we must have wheat and we can use some maize.
 We must import some meat for our soldiers at the front and a minor amount for our civilian population Eu- rope has depended for many years upon America for pork products and the consumption of bacon has gone up i'm mensely due to our large armies in the field
 Curious as it may seem to Ameri- cans, our people have only lately be- gun generally to recognize the superior value of beans for human food There is scarcely a ton of beans to be bought in England today and yet the food val ue of beans is greater than that of any cereal we can import.
 Tt is not the usual thing for one nation to comment upon appointments of anothers officials but no one will resent a statement from me as to the satisfaction we feel and which we know the American people must feel at the present selection of MT. Hoover to ad- wise on food matters. He is the long est established food controller in Flu rope The Belgian problem has been more difficult than any allies problem, for he has had to feed 10 000 900 and maintain public health with less ma terial at his disposal than any con troller He has had two years more eX- perience at it than any other and he has carried the problem through a thousand difficulties with success and with the esteem of the whole of Eu- rope

TOASTED HURLEY IS
 USED IN CIGARETTE

In this present day of great develop ments the cigarette manufacturers have not been behind hand, this being indicated by the new cigarette made from toasted Burley tobacco.
 Thirtyfive billion cigarettes were rolled by han din 1916 while only 21 bil- lion ready made cigarettes were sold. The increasing demand for Burley smoking tobacco has been under close observation by cigarette manufacturers for number of years. Wanting to take advantage Of such promising market they have been constantly experiment. ing to develop a satisfactory Burley cigarette.
 The obstacle to such result was that Burley tobacco when shredded for ready made cigarettes lost it's flavor The problem was to discover some method of handling Burley tobacco so that when used in ready made cigar cites it would remain in good condition This. it is said has now been accom- plished by the application of a new principle in cigarette making. Under this new principle the tobacco is toast ed, thus accomplishing the one neces- sary thing to hold the Burley flavor in cigarette form. The new Lucky Strike cigarettes now heinz intrn1nced n-.o the first successful application of this new principle of cigarette making.
 rms new process of handling tobacco meant the installation of new machines known as ''toasting machines" in the cigarette factories. These toasting ma chimes are of great size being about lII5 feet in length and from ten to twelve feet in width. Running the en- tire length of the machine is an end less belt of wire mesh which carries the tobacco over steam coils placed be- meath the belt. which toasts the tobacco in transit.

 'The drafting provision starts at the outset a process by which the forces of the country can be called as they shall be needed, according to an equal and just system, and it has these merits:
 Tt spreads the burden of military preparation equally throughout the United States.
 "2-It is certain in it's operation. so that. after the registration is made every man in the country will know whether he is to be called and when he is to be called upon, allowing those who are not to be called, or whose call is prepared, to continue their nor maj pursuits undisturbed by uncer- tainty as to their duty and unagitated by neighborhood pressure or misunder- standing
 "3-It starts at the beginning of the accumulation of these new forces, and has none of the character of a penalty which attaches to the draft when it is used after volunteering has been tried and failed
 'I have studied every report I can secure of the use of the volunteer sys- tenn abroad and in our own country, and 1 believe it to be true that in every placo where it has been tried, what ever success it has had has been due to system of computations more har- rassing and almost as drastic as the provisions of a law itself. In the countries of Europe where the volun- teer system has obtained those respon- sible for it were excused because they could not have foreseen at the begin ming the results, but we have their experience to guide us and 1 believe that those responsible in this country for repeating the costly errors which have been made abroad will not be able to make that explanation.
 With the greatest difference to the rights and independence of judgment of your committee and the house

representing five or six of those prin- cipally interested in the overseas movement of food supplies that is. this committee should further develop the existing inter-allied organizations in Europe for the combined purchase and combined handling of all food stuffs for the allies, whether from America or elsewhere. In other words. all wheat and any other commodities bought in the United States or else where are to be bought through the head of the bureau, subject to this general committee, and thus the rela- tive bidding by different allies and the consequent artificial forcing up of American prices would be avoided.
 This competitive buying among the allies ard the different departments in the allied governments has been 70 a considerable degree responsi hle for the high prices which Amer ican consumers today have to pay for their foodstuffs.
 Another important function of the board would be to determine the To- catior of food supplies among the different allies and formulate their requirements, for a considerable period ahead. It is not proposed that this board shall have any functions inside the territory of any of the allies, but t is to be q bridge rep- resenting food control of each allied country for cooperative purposes As America is wholly an exporter of food, our hopes oi the American people are that they may place at the disposal of the inter- allied boarc as large quantities of our necessary staples as possible, and it is our hope by cooperation that we shall be able to stem the rising tide in the cost of living in America as well as Europe, and thus ameliorate the con- dition of the civil populat ation in all the allied countries
 Baron Davenport said the require ments of the allied countries iron. AmerIca should he limited to the iow- est possibl" minimum on which pub lie health and tranquility could be maintained and that every legitimate restraint should be placed upon food consumption and extravaganza in all allied countries.
 The gravity of the situation and the control established said the baron had long since done away with certain conditions which were so prominent in England and others of the allied countries during the early months of the war
 'The commodities needed by the al lies from America" he continued, could be reduced to a few central staples. Our people have been trained to eat only wheat bread, although we
Arizona republican., 1917-04-22

still feel obliged as secretary of war and therefore your responsible adviser on this subject, to urge the passage of the bill as drawn. This is the greatest war in the history of the world. Our participation in it is as yet undeter- mined in many of its modes and wholly as to it's duration and extent but we are called upon to inaugurate a sys- tenn which, in any event or contingency, will place our country in a situation where it can contribute the trained men and the means necessary to bring this war to a conclusion which will mean a vindicatiOn of the principles upon which we entered it.
 Tn conclusion, I beg to assure you that 1 have no alarm on the subject of militarism in America. Militarism is philosophy; it is the designation given to a selfish or ambitious political sys- tenn which uses arms as means of ac- complaining it's objects. The mobiliza- tion and arming of a democracy in de- fense of the principle upon which it is founded and in vindication of the common rights of men in the world is an entirely different thing"
 Supplementing Secretary Bakers let ter. the minority report says the mem- bers of the committee are laymen and adds:
 Tn this great crisis we deem it to be our patriotic duty in this matter of increasing temporarily the military establishment of the United States to follow the counsel Of the commander in-clief of our army and his expert ad- Visers''
 Of the plane for volunteers in the administration plan, the minority says: some of these who favor the vOlun- teer system point with pride to the fact that 1000 volunteers are enlisting every day at the present time. According to letter from the secretary of war to the chairman of the committed 72471S volunteers will be required for our reg ular army and the national guard or ganizations. It would therefore take 72i i days, including Sundays. or about two years to get the volunteer forces re quired, for these two branches alone of our military establishment Does that i look very hopeful?"
 In conclusion the report says:
 of the eight members of the mili- tary affairs committee signing this minority report four saw actual serv- lee In the volunteer army during the spanish American war and one of i these saw additional duty during the Mexican border trouble They have Knowledge at first hand of the ineffi- ciency of the volunteer system and they all join in this report protesting agalnst the evils of that system and in favor of system based on universal obligation to service
