Frank Vaughn as Secretary. The ma
ture Of the Questionaires was dis
cussed and plans made for assisting
the registrants. 1t was decided to
open an office in the City Hall
where two notaries, justices or law
yers will be constantly in charge to
administer affidavits and to assist in
the filling out of the blanks. The To-
cal committee will appoint assistants
or clerks to help with the task.
The QUESTIONABLE states that it
must be filled out and returned to
the Local Board within seven days
from the date on which it is mailed
20 the registrant. The Local Board
IS mailing out Questionaires at the
rate Of 165 per day. This will con-
tinue until every registrant has re-
ceived his blank. 1t is presumed that
the Local Board will continue mail
ing to one postoffice until that terri
tory has been covered and then pro-
ceed with another. No definite time
is known for the beginning of the
distribution in this community, but it
IS believed that the Questionaires
will begin arriving within the next
week. Several hundred will be re-

PUBLIC LANDS TO BE OPENED
FOR CULTIVATION IN 1918

Hundreds of thousands of acres of
land in the United States, hiterto un-
titled, may be placed under cultiva-
ton during the year 1918. By di-
rection of Secretary Of the Interior
Lane, acting in response to resolu-
ton of the Congress, careful sur
vey was made into the feasibility and
practicability Of putting into cultiva-
ticn such parts Of the public domain
and Indian lands as might be suit
able for the purpose. The results of
the inquiry just received by Secre-
tary Lane indicate that approximate
ly 100000 acres of land on various
reclamation projects and an area OF
Indian lands almost as large are
susceptible of cultivation.
Valuable for Minerals.

laying plans to handle the matter in
a systematic and thorough manner.
Every registrant may fill out his

the registrant must make affidavit

| ernmental agencies on such of the
public lands as yet remain unreserv-
ed. They are largely rough and
mountainous and valuable chiefly for
minerals or stock raising, or scatter
ed tracts which can best be farmed
by homesteaders.
About 100000 acres of land on
reclamation projects, not heretofore
cultivated, and for which water will
be available, may be placed in pro-
duction during 1918. In addition
there are approximately 100000
acres of privately owned or home
stead lands within reclamation pro-
jects susceptible of cultivation. A
bill now is pending before Congress
providing the money for the clearing,
development and cropping of the
lands, the funds appropriated to be
reimbursable from rentals and other
receipts.
Many Acres lrrig;ble.
Within the limits of the States of
Arizona, Montana, and Wyoming are
10000 acres of irrigable and $4,000
acres of dry farming lands within
the limits of Indian reservations
which, with reasonable funds, could
be placed under cultivation. On 9TH
er Indian reservations a large acre
age also could be made available. An
appropriation of S1,9OO,OOO has
been suggested to Congress for the
purchase Of seeds and equipment
and to make arrangements for the
cultivation of this land under the
direction Of Secretary Lane, who has
recommended to Congress the enact
ment of measures providing for the
development of the lands.

Morgan City Has 1860
Red Cross Members
And More Coming In
Big Response On Part Of
Workmen and Women Shows
Appreciation of Red Cross
Work

1860 Red Cross Members in Nor
gan City Unit and more coming The
1000 mark set has been left far be-
hind and the busy committees are
pushing on to the 1900 mark. The
Red Cross Booth on Front Street is
doing a good business this morning
and the outlook is fine for many
members before the close of the
drive on Christmas Eve. With 1900
members on this Unit it is easy to be-
lieve that there will be total of
5000 in the entire parish.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the drive, and one exceed
ingly gratifying to the Red Cross
workers, is the splendid response
which has been made to the member
ship drive by the working. men and
women, both white and black, all Owe
er the parish. Morgan City, Ber-
wick and Patterson concerns have
shown that they are employers of
d loyal lOC OI men ana WOMEN ana.
while the rest of the parish has not
yet been heard from, it is believed
that all the big industries will show
a like response. The Union Bridge
and Constructions Company Shipyard
furnished $50 members; Brownell-
Drews Lumber Co. 200; Avoca
Plantation, So; Glenwild Refinery of
Berwick, 65; F. B. Williams Cypress
Co., of Patterson, 1922 There has
been a corresponding membership
from the small concerns and from
families in all these places.
That Red Cross work is appreciat-
ed is shown by the returns and that
there is growing appreciation will
probably be proven at the wind-up.
If you see a man who is not wear
ing the Red Cross Button, take him
by the hand and lead him to one Of
the Red Cross women and insist that
he have the honor of becoming
member.

of two brief intervals OF sunlight
there was a continuous hard rain to-
day on the Belgian battlefront. This
was most important news from the

Germans in the island of Oessel sit

the Gulf of Finland.
At last accounts the Germans who
landed under the cover of great
array of naval craft, were steadily
pressing back the Russians toward
the southeastern part Of the island
and also putting ashore other forces
with the huge armada guarding them
against assault by Russian warships.

The entire northern and eastern
sections of the island were in German
hands and the invaders were only a

southern shore. which was in flames
Cerel, which lies on the ZVorb penin-
sula, the southernmost extremity of
the island, also was on fire. Whether
the conflagrations were caused by the
German guns or whether they were
started by the Russians is not known
Although the German communica-
tions says the Germans suffered no
losses during the landing on Oesel is
land, the Petrograd war office says
that In attempting to cover the lapd-
ing of the enemy on Dago island, to
tile north of Oesel, four German tor
pedo boats were reported to have
been sunk and one cruiser ran
aground. The small detachment
which landed on Dago island was
forced later by the Russians TO return
to the ships, while the Russian fleet
which at last accounts had suffered
no material damage, was hindering
the German war craft in the waters
between Dago and Oesel islands.
No Mainland Attack.
AS yet nothing has come through to
show that the enemy has attempted to
attack the mainland of western Es-
thonia, nor has there been any indica-
ton that the Russian. front in this
region has been moved.
