OVATION GIVEN
OUR CONGRESSMAN

I Rarely at any time during the
most heated political State or Nat
ional campaign has larger or
more enthusiastic audience ever
assembled at the Court House.
than was the case Tuesday night
when standing room even in the
spacious corridors was at a pre-
MUM. And the gathering of this
great cOncOurse OF people not Onl V
from the town but from the sur
rounding country. was in honor of
our Congressman, whose gift of
oratOry contrary to all the Old
maXlmS and SAWS is not only duly
:ecoenlzed but appreciated at
home, And his people were
doubly interested in hearing him
Tuesday night because, besides al
ways enjoying his speeches, his
subject was The War. a matter
of vital interest and just being
from the seat of government where
he Is in close touch with the
higher powers he was able to dis
close to them some things they
could not learn otherwise and he
did not disappoint them, as while
he talked IN an informal way, he
Told them the reasons, objects and
purposes of the war. and painted
the horrors of it with a master
hand and his tribute to our Presi-
dent struck responsive chord in
every breast as did his tribute to
our soldier boys, the Red Gross
appealed for our continued moral
support in their interest.
He spoke most happily of his
pride in all Natchitoches had done
along every line, the Red Cross
Volunteers, Liberty Bonds, sub
scriptions to every demand and
Iauded the splendid donations to
the last drive Of the Y. NJ. =. A
from the students and faculty of
the Normal which exceeded that of
any institution IN Louisiana, if not
any in the United States, Mr..
Aswell S illustrating and stories
Ioid lii his iulmltabie manner were
all heartily enjoyed and his talk
Was interrupted by APP
plause and every body would have
been willing TO nave mad him con-
Jlnue much LONGER than he did.
Judge Cunningham presided as
chairman and introduced the
speaker 10 few chosen words.

Berlin, Jan. 20.-News of the safe
arrival of the Yarrowdale with 4bs
captive sailors in a German port has
added to the qualification expressed in
the German press over the exploits
of the mysterious German commerce
raider as reported from various
sources The name of the cruiser and
its commander and all details regard
ing its size, speed and armament are
being withheld by the naval authori-
ties and nothing was known until
today about the arrival of the Var
rowdale, altho she has been in port
for more than a fortnight, The ma
tionality of the neutrals among the
ca ptured crews is unknown, but some
I of the captives are held as prisoners
of war because they accepted service
on armed merchantmen
The prize com mander. Petty Officer
Badewitz, was a member of the crew
of the raider Moewe and was in COM
mand of the British ship Westborne,
which brought the crews of a number
of ships sunk by the raider to Ten
eriffe. He afterwards destroyed the
Westborne to prevent her falling into

Locked Up When Ships Are Sunk.
THE German officer who was in
charge of prisoners taken off the raid
er's various prizes urged us to make
ourselves as comforta bic as possible"
the Radnorshire's captain continued.
/ TT was only when a new victim was
| sighted that we were locked up
(This quotation from the captain of
| the Radnorshire clears up statements
which he made yesterday complaining
F, OF ill treatment. 1t appears from to-
days dispatches that the captains
| complaints referred to treatment
aboard the Hudson Maru-the prison
ship" which was sent into Pernambuco.
| Evidently the Germans packed the
| Japanese prize full of prisoners as
| they could. Judging from today's YER
| sion, the prisoners were granted free

| when the crew of the Radnorshire
and other prisoners were transferred
| to the Hudson Maru I noticed that a
number of Hindoos who had been with
| us were being retained aboard the
| raider" the captain said. THE Ger
man officer explained he was keeping
them to work on the engine room, but
that they would be released soon.''
