Application To Raise
Rates.
To the Mayor,
st. Martinville, La.

st. Martinville, La.
Dear Sir:
AS Chairman of the Railroad (
Commission. | wish to call to your
serious attention the fact that the
railroads of Louisiana have made !
application for readjustment OF
rates which is revolutionary. pro-
posing many advances in existing
Clyss rates between points in this
State.
This application has been fixed
for hearing before the Commission
at Baton Rouge on "Wednesday,
January 18th, 1917.
The Commission will supply you
with a copy of the railroads ap-
plication upon your request.
This application, taken in con-
nection with the attack on Louisi-
ana rates by the Natchez Chamber
of Commerce before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, has as
sumed much larger proportions
than any other rates adjustment
ever proposed in Louisiana.
II is needless for me to mention
to YOU that under the circum-
stances it is most important that
the shippers of the State inform
themselves as to conditions and be
prepared to meet the issues raised
in this case. | deem it my duty
as the official head of the rate
making body of the State to give
full notice to all interested parties
, and therefore request that you
kindly advise all shippers and re
; ceivers of freight in your vicinity
,, in order that they may be able t
, study the proposition of the rail
r roads. so that such steps might b
. taken as are necessary to proctec
3 their interest.
n Very truly yours,

Seed Cane terminating.

Several planters have reported
the windrowed cane as germina-
ting rapidly with the few days of
warm weather, and the opinion
seem to prevail that early planting
is advisable under this condition
as rainy spell followed by cold
and warm weather would prove in.

is Training Camps Chosen
for National Guard Units;
Call to Service Due Sunday

Location of sixteen camps for the
National Guard has been completed by
the selection of sites at Hattiesburg.
Miss. and Alexandria. La. and the
change of the Fayetteville. N. c.. site
to Charlotte. n. c.
The first increment of the guard will
be called into the services of the fed
eral government next Sunday. although
the draft clause of the national defense
act will not be applied to any of the
guardsmen until August 5. Movement
10 camp sites will begin within a few
days. as supplies sufficient for the men
already have been secured.
The fact that the guard is to be
under training even before drawing
for the selective army begins indicates
that of the men drawn the first to see
service in Europe will be those as
signed to fill vacancies in the guard or
the regulars. Presumably the first men
turned into the army by that process
will go to these two forces. and they
may be under orders to join their regi-
ments in less than two weeks.
The regulars are short a little more
than $4,000 men, (Which probably will
be reduced to less than 10000 before
the draft forces become available The
best obtainable estimates of the Ma
tional Guard strength indicate that
they will need less than 100000 men
when they go to camp.
No announcement has been made as
to the course to be followed with
guard regiments already in the fed
eral service. and which are doing val
liable work In guarding property all
over the country. There are more than
$4,000 guardsmen now on the federal
pay roll for that duty. Whether they
are to be relieved and sent forward to
the camps or maintained at their pres
ent posts has not been stated.

NO RELIEF GIVEN TOTALLY
BY AMERICAN RED CROSS
Henry P. DAWSON Chief of organi-
zation's War Council, Corrects
Erroneous Published Statement.

War relief has been given by the
American Red Cross to France, Russia,
Rumania and Armenia, but none to
Italy. according to statement given
out by Henry 2. Dawson, chief of the
war council. in correcting erroneous in
formation that has been given wide
publicity.
In pursuance Of it's policy of giving
publicity to expenditures from the
s100.000.000 war fund. Mr.. Dawson an
nounced that $1.506.50O already has
been appropriated for relief work in
foreign countries. This sum included
100000 for France, $206, 500 for Rus
STA. 100000 for Rumania and 100000
for Armenia. Commissions similar to
those sent to France and Russia soon
will go to Italy and Rumania to inves-
tigate needs in those countries, and a
commission also will be appointed to
represent the American Red Cross in
Great Britain.
mo appropriations for use In any
country will be made until after tnves-
tigation,' said Mr.. Dawson, land all
except emergency appropriations will
be made by the war council for spe-
ciflc amounts. 1t is also the policy Of
the war council to withhold any very
large expenditures abroad until it is
made certain that every necessary pro-
vision has been made to take care of
our own soldiers and sailors"
Mr. Dawson denied published reports
that $10.000,000 has been appropriated

To prevent embarrassment among
those who are exempt. the War Depart
ment has decided to give with each
exemption certificate a bronze badge
bearing the inscription Exempted
U. s." The design for the badge
has been approved by Secretary Baker,
and a number already are in process OF
manufacture. 1t is intended to protect
those exempted from any suspicion of
being slackers.
The law specifies that exemptions
are not permanent unless the cause for
which they are granted is permanent.
For instance. If a man should be ex-
empted on the first call because of a
dependent relative. and that relative
should die or become self-supporting
before the second call. the registrant
would be liable for service under the
second call. 1t will be the duty of the
exemption boards to keep watch OF
such cases, and recall men who have
been passed over once. but whose
status may have changed before the
second call is made.
