According to advices received by
the Review from Washington, the
torpedo boat destroyers on recruit
ing duty will spend five days in
Morgan City arriving here from
New Orleans on February % and
departing for Port Arthur Texas on
February 9th.
It will be month yet before the
boats arrive, but it is not too soon
for the Chamber of Commerce, the
City officials and other organi-
cations as well as individuals to be-
gin preparations for the proper en-
tertainment of the visiting fleet.
This will be an opportunity to ad-
vertise to the world the hospitality
of Morgan City:
Every city visited by the fleet
thus far has entertained the officers
and the men of the fleet in a social
way, and no doubt Morgan City
people will make the men remember
Morgan City for a long time.
Committees will be appointed in
the near future by the leading or
to formulate plans for
the proper entertainment of the
fleet, and arrange other details to
make for the comfort Of the crews
while here.

SCHOOL PROBLEM
GRoWsININ1EREST
Views Are Pres.
ented in Sidewalk
Discussions

Since the appearance Of the ar
ticle discussing the school question,
which was published in The Review
on Friday, and the letter of pat
ron in Saturdays issue, there has
been considerable discussion Of the
question heard on the streets. There
seems to be no unity Of opinion and
it looks as if the matter would have
to be threshed out in a thorough
manner, touching on every possible
phase Of the situation.
One thing seems to be settled in
the minds of all who have been
heard to discuss the question, that
is, there is a crying need of
greater facilities for the care Of the
school children Of Morgan City.
The crowded conditions must be
relieved.
A prominent patron Of the
schools wrote to the Review on Sat-
urday advocating the purchase Of
the balance Of the block on which
the present school stands and the
erection of . handsome building
thereon. This caused the advocates
Of school ward system to come
out with their arguments and at
this time it seems that there are
many advocates Of the ward school
plan. They point out that it is both
practical and possible to build two
ward schools for less money than
one central building would cost.
They say that the present building
could then be used for a high-school
building in satisfactory manner,
and that this building is ideally ad-
apted for a high-school which would
have no superior in. South Louis
lana.
Another question that has been
raised is whether or not it would
be a good plan to invite the Berwick
patrons to JOIN with Morgan City IN
the issuance Of bonds to build the
buildings. It is believed
that the Berwick patrons would
agree to this plan in view of the
fact that they are sending their
children to Morgan City schools and
getting all Of the possible benefit of.
the Morgan City schools on an equal
plan with Morgan City children.
What plan do you favor for the
Of school facilities a.
long the lines Of the greatest good
to the greatest number? Write to
the Morgan City Daily Review Civ
ing others the benefit Of what light
you may be able to throw on the
situation.

SENATE AMAZED
AT THE President
Laying Bare His Idea Of The
Future Policy Of the U. S.
With ForeiQn Nations

Washington, D. G. Jan. 22.-
Boldly and frankly, President Viii
son laid before the Senate of the

tai of European peace which this
country considers essential, says the
American.
Clearly and forcefully he de.
clared the right of the United
States to have a voice in determin-
ing the peace conditions which shall
be lasting ''by the DEGREES of an
eternal covenant" through an inter-
national league to enforce peace.
He laid down fatly the conditions
which both sides in the European
struggle must agree to if the United
States it to become q party to the
world agreement to prevent future
wars.
And he asserted that the United
States cannot in honor withhold the
service Of adding their power to
the authority and force Of other
nations to guarantee peace and jus
tice throughout the world through q
league Of peace.
It is an epoch making occasion.
Not since the foundation of the re-
public has president Of the United
States IN public statement declared
the right Of this nation to be heard
in the terms which will settle war
in which the country has no active
part.
Not since the days of Washington
has a president Of the United States
laid before the foreign relations of
this government before the Senate
in open session.
Washington gasped with amaze

that he would make his statemens.

for this country the right
to determine what shall constitute

the sisters had saved the remaining
1876 inmates and 80 girls attending a
school conducted in a wing of the

Advices received today said the loss
would not exceed 500, 900. The cause
Of the fire was not known.
There was much suffering, as the
night was intensely cold. After the

building so that no further attempts at
saving lives could be made, the sisters
turned their attention to caring for the
survivors. The building was owned by

RUSSIAN EGGS TO
END i. s. FAMINE
Henry D. Baker Urges Parcels
Post Plan to Get Trade When .
Peace CONSCIOUSNESS
Possibilities.

Washington, d. c., Jan. IA strong
plea to the United States to organize
for the transaction Of a great business
with Russia, especially after the war,
is made by Henry ID. Baker, until re-
Gently commercial attache to Russia,
now consul to Trinidad. Mr.. Baker has
prepared a statement of his views for
the chamber Of of the United
States which contains many facts of
Importance relative to the Russian
market and it's possibilities.
Summed UP, Mr.. Baker secs almost
unlimited opportunities for the United
States in intelligent development of
trade with Russia, He believes the
business of 1872, 000, 900 awakened Rus
slams is not a thing lightly to be over
looked from a business and industrial
standpoint. 20
Would End Egg Shortage.
Starting with an exposition of the
possibilities of the vast egg
OF Siberia and Russia in relieving the
shortage in his country, Mr.. Baker
proceeds to a general discussion of the
trade sourc and possibilities of the
Russian empire. He points out that
his empire Cover S,647,0OO square
miles or about one-sixth of the land
surface Of the world. He axes the
view that friendly diplomatic relations
with Russia and active business atten-
ton to trade and investment there
would mean marvellous development.
Russian stocks OF goods today are low.
Mr.. Baker says. When the war ends
"A great flood of imports will flow into
the empire. He holds that the war has
not impoverished Russia. On the con-
trary, he says Russia without vodka
is more prosperous than Russia with
vodka before the war. "
He points out that if each person in
Russia should expend 81 a year more
than before this war, it alone would
represent an equivalent OF over $780,
600, 900 a year in increased purchases.
Urges Parcels Post Plan.
One of the recommendations of Mr.
Baker is that the United States should
make a parcels post arrangement with
Russia. lie says the United States has
been asleep as to this for years, while
other great commercial countries have
been profiting tremendously by parcels
post facilities. .u
A supreme effort at organization is
necessary if the United States is to
get it's share Of Russian trade after the
war. i'm Mr.. Bakers opinion. He ,eN-
poets organized efforts to get trade by
Germany, England and other powers
and says if the United States is to get
its share, now, lac says. is the time to
begin. Branch banks, for n thing,
he deems essential. He advises too,
that American universities and colleges.
should start to teacs the Russian Ian
guage and every encouragement should
he given TO young men TO learn Russian
for commercial service in that country.
II. gets down to this. in he opinion OF
Mr.. Baker, that America by d great,
intelligent. organized effort, can cap
ture an enormous Russian trade after
the war, but without such an effort it
will be badly outstripped by other ma
