While Gloria was at little distance
Royce was questioning Trask in q low
tone, trying to persuade him to speak
the truth, warning him that he might
not have long opportunity to un-
bosom himself Of his crime. But Trask's
mouth, distorted with suffering. was
also twisted with sheer Of hate. He
would not even answer ROyce's ques-
tons.
Pierpont had drawn Gloria to one
side, and he said: "Well, now that
you've got your man, what are you go
ing to do with him?"
"Ffnd out why he killed Dick" Clio
ria said, land then turn him over to
the police"
I'm spite Of all the publcity?" Pier
pont asked.
I'm spite Of all the publicity" said
Gloria.
PierpOnt gave up the fight q:
lOathed the prospect of q newspaper
scandal. but II it had to come be :...->:
Grace himself to endure it. He had
done all that he could legitimately do,
and more than that, to thwart the po-
lice, and now that the necessities of
the law compelled him to give the law
the right Of way or suffer the con-
sequences. He resolved to turn
Trask over to- Judge Freeman as rep
resentative of the law and let the
judge assume the future responsibility.
When the yacht reached the country
house at length, PierpOnt sought for
Judge Freeman. He had left the house.
Pierpont would have sent Trask on
after him, but he was too weak to be
moved farther. Besides, Royce was
insistent in giving Trask the full bene-
fit Of his medical and surgical knowl-
edge, and asked for a guest room to
lodge him in.
Now Trask was stupefied indeed. He
had expected that his enemies would
throw him into a prison cell. And
they had installed him in luxurious
chamber in a palace. And his daugh-
ter was established in an adjoining
room whose fittings would have salts
fed q princess. They almost terrified
the poor hab!tant Of canal boat.
Royce decided to motor into the city
to fetch his surgical instruments and
bring out his assistant. While he was
gone Gloria stole into Trask's room
to question him. but he had passed into
a state between sleep and coma, and
she dared not trouble him. She found
that Nell had fallen asleep. too. worn
out with emotions Of every sort. Clio
ria stole away to her own room. She
was tired out, too. She felt that she
was on the brink of discoveries that
would mean everything to her. She
was a little afraid of them.
She paused at her window, and, see

The scarcity Of frefpht cars he

The scarcity Of freight cars, ha:
become q very aggravating matter
among the shipping fraternity ir
this city. Cars are practically as un'
certain As the price of foodstuffs
these days. A shipper can never tel
when a car can be had for loading
The local lumber mills are very
much handicapped as a result.
Sweet potatoes were plentiful al
the local river front today selling al
two dollars per barrel.
Morgan City will have the oppor-
tunity Of securing the Bickford
shipyards in the next few days if
they can offer the proper induce
ments. This enterprise is consider
ably worth going after, and by all
means should be secured.

THE 1917 CHATAUQUA

The announcement of the ap-
preaching engagement by the Civic
League Of the Redpath Chatauqua
Association to appear in this City
during the middle of May is appre-
ciated with keen interest by those
who enjoyed the excellent perform
ances presented by that organiza-
ton here last year. The season last
year was source of enjoyment to
all who attended, and it is within
fact tosstate that out of the whole
series Of performances not one
mediocre number was preseted. The
talent and merit of each performer
reflected excellent judgement on
the part Of the management.
From purely an intellectual
standpoint. The Review sincerely
hopes that those of our city who have
been blessed with an education and
the means of getting one will take
active part in seeing that as
large portion of our population as
possible witness the forthcoming
performance and hear the high class
lectures to be delivered. The mental
refreshment gained by weeks at
tendance at these performances will
do any man or woman or child
uOOd Partic,,1ar1v of tho Gloss Of
performance given last year by the
Redpath people, and it is said that
this years program is even better
than that of last year.
The Review is particularly inter-
ested in the part of this work under
taken by the Civic League, and re-
commends it on that account, yet
the good to be derived by individ-
uals will likely outweigh all other
considerations.

PARTY Lines WILL
NOT |! Be KEPT
New House viii be Organized
In Haste and Joint Session
viii be Held

Washington, March 21.-Mem.
bers of Congress still in Washington
received President Wilson's call fol-
an extra session April with pa
triotic expressions and confident
predictations that the close organi-
cation fight in the House would not
be permitted to delay action on the
grave questions to be submitted by
the President.
The Senate organized and adopt
ed its anti-filibuster rule during
the recent extra session. House
leaders say their contest will be set
tied promptly, regardless Of politi-
cal results, SO that both branches
may get down to business within 8
few days after they assemble.
A joint session to hear the ad.
dress of the President may be held
without waiting for the House or
ganization. This course is held to be
legal and probably would serve to
hasten action n the House.
In spite of their determination to
bring about q quick conclusion,
neither Democratic nor Republican
intend to surrender without fight.
Majority leader Kitchin, from his
home in Scotland Neck, N. c., to-
day sent out call for Democratic
caucus on Friday, March 80, at II
q. m. Calls for Republican and So
called independent conferences are
expected to follow.
Democrats, it is declared, will
caucus solidly, despite the unpleas-
antness which arose over the prohi-
bition fight in the dying days Of the
last Congress. The Republican, be-
cause Of the opposition to caucus
rules among the Progressive ele-
ment, probably will only confer.
The five independents already have
agreed - confer informally before
the session.

Physician Who Escaped From Brussels Tells of Conditions in That
 Country

Havre, October 1.-(Special Corresponds ence)-A physician of Brussels who has succeeded in escaping from Belgium, in
 telling of sufferings In the Belgian
 capital resulting from the German oc-
 cupauon, said the Germans had system atically taken all sugar and fat and tho
 only food containing albumen provided

 was seriously affecting the public 1 health. It was quite a common thing he said, for individuals to lose within few months 9 to 35 pounds in weight. In the city of Brussels the birth rare formerly two per day, had dropped to
 two In 10 days. while there were 1s deaths daily.
 The effects upon children were par- ticularly serious for, In spite of charit- able efforts in providing extra msals for them and sending some to Holland to recuperate, rickets and tuberculosis were prevalent These two diseases alone showed an increase of moro than 40 per cent in the last two years Of 300 chii- dren examined by the physician this year. half were suffering from tubercular glands. and. owing to the lowered vf- tality, epidemics of measles, whoopinx cough and scarlet fever were more num- erous and deadly than ever.
 This physician states that while work ing at the St Jean hospital. the largest in Brussels. he treated hundreds of de- portees who had been sent back from Germany. Most of them came from Alost, Termonde, Ghent and the neigh borhood. The limbs of many were bad iy bruised, while others had crushed ha uda a nd fhn nf f1~a they had been forced to do. Most of those who come in during the winter suffered from severe frostbites, necessi- tating in some cases arnputation.

NolU Help he Liberty Loan
IN THEODORE ROOsETELT


 The concrete service of the United States, which every decent American not fortunate enough to be soldier can now render, is to buy as many liberty bonds as he can afford The treasury department has set forth in the public press the facts about the campaign which the pro- Germans in the United States are waging against the liberty loan. The campaign is be- ing waged by trying to prevent banks from handling the liberty loan, and by the publication in certain newspa- pers of articles tending to discourage people from investing in the bonds. Senator I.aFolletts speeches, which are to the same effect, are also be- ing circulated with a view to check ing popular subscriptions
 Senator LaFollette, by the way rep resents exactly the type which tries to prevent the people from owning the bonds and, nevertheless will in the future probably rail at the pur- chasers of the bonds as having some

EPISCOPAL BISHOPS PLEDGE SUPPORT
 ID WAR POLICIES

Chicago. October zo.-The Rev. Paul Jones. bishop of Utah. who was accused of unpatriotic utterances. was not dis cIplined by the house of bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church when his case came up before that body. The closing conference of the house of bish- ops was held Friday, after a four-day meeting, and the following report was given out this evening as the result of the consideration of Bishop Jones case:
 '"rhe committee appointed to consider the present conditions in the mission ary district of Utah beg leave to report as follows: In view of statement presented to the presiding bishop by the bishop of Utah it will not be necessary house of bishops, except to ask the house to adopt the following resolutions, which are needed to enable the presiding bishop to carry out plan for the settle ment of the present difficulties in the missionary district of Utah:
 Resolved, That the house of bishops requests the presiding bishop to call a commission of such bishops as he may select to inquire into tho whole matter. so that the bishop of Utah may govern his action by their advice.
 Resolved, That the presiding bishop be requested to grant the leave Of ib- sence asked in the statement of the bishop of Utah"
 A resolution was adopted asking all treasurers and trustees of church funds to invest the surplus thereof in liberty loan bonds. By rising vote the fol- lowing message was ordered sent to President Wilson:
 "The house of bishops assures the Pres- ident of the United States of our patri- o<f rf af prnvarnn1Ant- nIndR- ing ourselves to cooperation in every possible way to aid, sustain and protect the brave soldiers and sailors of this great Christian nation in the heroic ef- fort to destroy oppression. tyranny and brutality now threatening the world, and to establish justice, righteousness and liberty among all nations"

 1 how or other, obtained an improper and excessive profit. Inasmuch as the enemies of the liberty loan are of this type, all patriotic Americans should strain every nerve to make the sale a success.
 Moreover, this happens to be one of those rare cases where the perform ance of patriotic duty Is a first-class financial investment. The patriot Is rendering a great service to the nation while he is also making a capital in- vestment for himself. If the people do not take the bonds they will be taken by the big capitalists. The people have the first call and while 1t is desir- able in the interest of everybody to make this a peoples loan, it Is more desirable from the standpoint of the people themselves
 The investment Is absolutely safe. The men and women who fail to take advantage of it are now standing by the country and they are not stand : ing by their own interests. Every man. from the day laborer to the bank pres iqqent, should, according to his means invest In the liberty bonds Copyright, 1917, by the Kansas City

TO SELL HEREFORD HERD

One of the most interesting and im- portant announcements made to tho thousands of men of the south who are now. engaged in raising beef cattle or building up Hereford herds for fu- ture generations to draw from, is made by the heirs of the late and 1amented w. J. Davis of this city, and is to the effect that at early date their famous LaVernet stock farm, located two miles out from this city will be stripped of all it's pets-59 thorough bred Hereford bulls and 100 cows and heifers of the purest and best strain, as all carry the blood of Point Com fort ", the head of the herd and champion of the world
 W. J. Davis was the pioneer breed- CT of Herefords in this state and be- fore his death a year or more ago had succeeded in building a herd sec ond to none in the land, as is evi denced by the hundreds of prizes and first premiums they have been taking at all the best and biggest fairs from Chicago to the north and west, and where they went up against the great est herds in the United States.
