Splendid Response From
Morgan City, Berwick
And Amelia To Call
For Volunteers
Red Cross Relief Committee Has
List Comprising Is Names
of Ladies Willing To
Serve AS Nurses.

III spite Of the serious aspect given
by DR.. de Gravelles illness, the influenza
situation in Morgan City is encouraging
today. As far as could be learned this
morning no new cases had been reported
and all of the old eases are progressing
satisfactorily. Due to the splendid re-
sponse given the call for volunteer nurses
all those cases requiring such assistance
are being properly cared for. Almost
Immediately following the request for
nurse volunteers, as published in yester
days Review, the Red Cross relief com
mittee began receiving applications. The
list at 10 O'Clock this morning included
eighteen names. The complete list fol-
lows:
Morgan City-Misses Una O'Brien,
Olivier Giroir, Esther Drackett, Pearl
Ainsworth, Inez Williams, Inez Wilson,
Marie Tohps, Louise Shelborne, Ruth
Hymel, Matte Boyle; Mesdames II. J.
Williams, Rebecca Aucoin and George
Forteich. Also Susie Edwards, R. N,
Gertrude Baptiste and Ida Brown, col
ored women, promptly answered the call.
Berwick-Misses Olive Jacobs, Gladys
Robicheaux, Daisy Babin, Maude Min
mich and Mrs. Henry Jacobs.
Amelia-Mrs. Frank Lenormand.
Judging by present indications Mrs. NJ.
P. Palmer believes this list of nurses
is sufficiently large to take care of the
situation. However, she stated, to prop
erly safeguard conditions which might
arise additional applications would be
gladly accepted. The names of these
volunteers who have come to the front in
time of need should ever be recorded in
Morgan City's history, Mrs. Palmer and
DR.. de Gravelles both emphatically as
sert.
An inquiry made at the home of DR..
de Graveles this morning elected the in
formation that he was undoubtedly af-
fiicted with the disease which he has been
SO valiantly fighting the past week: His
condition is not believed to be serious,
but his medical associates who are at
tending him state he will be kept in bed
until all danger is past. Aside from Nor
gan City's personal interest in DR. de
Gravelles, his absence from the city's
active life will be sorely felt at this
time.
In the opinion of the relief committee s
chairman, Mrs. Palmer, there is at pres
ent no need for an isolation hospital If
such should arise, it is their plan to use
the school building for that purpose.
Equipment for such a contingency has
already been provided for.

NINVESTMENT THAT PAID
Three million dollars!

: Three million dollars!
Three million dollars saved by Amerl-
can soldiers in France-saved IN the last
six months-and sent back to relatives
and trends with no red tape and no ex-
,pense.
Just a plain, honest job, done in a
plain and honest way. The Y. NJ. c. A.
encouraged the saving, and sent the
money home for the boys with no cost
to them. Some Of it came straight to
Louisiana. Many home in this state
is brighter and better because the ! is
marching side by side with the Louisiana
boys overseas.

Collapse of Emotional Excitement.
Cincinnati Enquirer.) )

Now that the war is over everybody is suffering from emotional collapse. We have been fled up with excitement for four long years Every day has set the stage with battles on land on or in the air Whole nations have plunged into the of conflict and mingled their blood with its dust. Elm pires have risen and fallen before fascinated Tales of horror and of bravery have summoned old men from their firesides and children from their play.
 But, at last curtain has fallen; the actors are resuming their civilian regaas and the audience has dispersed each going his way to the quiet sober unromantic business of his daily life. We in that restless and dissatisfied state of mind familiar to all hearegoers when the doors of the playhouse close behind them-a state of mind in which nothing seems worth while unless it strs us to uncomfortable ex- citement and creates sensations which thrill like the blasts of bugles.
 How are we going to settle down to the ordinary grind of life that there soldiers marching through the streets; horrors the battlefield to discuss; no more sinking of ships in midOcean more accounts of aces who have fought like eagles in the sky?
 This will be crucial test of character for men and nations, for soldiers and civilians, de- mobilization has spelled demoralizaton after many war; and is fertile soil for other needs than those of armed strife
 What will the women do now that there are or soon will be more sweaters to be knitted and Red Cross work to be done? Those who our intuition factories, are released from tasks which men will soon take again, to what other occupa-
 ons will they turn-to bridge and pink teas?
 And the men who have faced a bail of bullets or abored in canteens, help float the bonds of the Government, raise the funds for war work"- will they once more become the victims of ennui the habtues of clubs?
 If this were to happen should long for war again, because the sins which are bred in times of peace the sins of luxury, of wantonness, of selfish ness, of sensuality terrible, think, than those of
 It will be sad commentary upon human nature if the reconstruction of this war-shattered world does not awaken profound an emotion as the work of it's demolition. Men and women who cannot feel a thrill in the erection of temple upon the ruins of the old are proper objects of contempt. Never in all the was there such chance philanthro- piss, for statesmen, for reformers the plas- tic material of life. "Ths is age ages telling and to be living IS sublime" The soft hand of babe can do more to shape the destines of the race in plastic period of such this than the fist of giant in period of conservatism and and of petri- faction.

The Tiger of France.
(New York Sum-

In the gallery of the great whose names have been written ndebly the page of history since the war began exercise stronger power imagina- tion and affection than Georges Clemenceau. Last week the Senate of France declared him to have deserved we'll of his country; he has indeed deserved well of the world.
 When he came the Premiership the resources, the courage, the will of France held in leash. Defeatiss and traitors escaped the mered penalties of their treason. Tolerance in politics that came to weakness handicapped the armies of the public At a moment when disaster to France meant disaster to civilization French devotion. skill and strength were sapped by insdious enemies beyond reach of the military and apparently immune from at tack by the civil authorities
 Then it that the Tiger of France, old in years old in wisdom, old in experience, young in vigor of mind and body called to power. All the ripe knowledge of full life of activity all the de- termination of mind and body dedicated to single purpose devoted to the supreme task of the day. The foes and the crimes that had hampered his predecessors assailed without fear vaclla- ton and indecision vanished challenge was thrown in the face of traitor and doubter, and the real France. the heroic France allowed once more<sc pursue her destiny unimpeded
 This great work has been done without mock heroics without posing, with simplicity and drectness un- affected genuine. The humanity of the agent on whom Fate put the burden and for whom Fate opened the door of opportunity has been denied in deed gesture. A fine contempt for consistency in small things has thrown into high relief the su- preme consistency in those things that mattered
 Truly. Georges Clemenceau has deserved well of his country.

 How small the Illinois Congressman makes Sena- tor Sherman Senator Poindexter and others who would start the political campaign at this tune!
 What a reinsurance he gives the American peo- ple that men in responsible positions, matter then party affiliations, may be depended upon to be Amer jeans and first of all!
 And MT Mann has done his party a service as well as his country-in fact any who serves his country well does his political party service The welfare of the United States is in safe keeping when those of both political parties work for the country and when political party stands for coun- try first it demonstrates for the existence of the party.

New York City boys, working on farms last sum mer earned nearly $50,000 more than they paid fol their board and keep railroad fare, etc. To some men $50,000 will not be very impressive. Corpor- ation Presidents and others who have been drawing salaries think the earning of that $5O GOO was hardly worth while, but if of the city boys who went out to do farm work during the summer got rich in a financial may be sure that many of them acquired other kinds of riches which will them well in the future.
