a laborat0rium for all sorts Of ex-

munitions OF war; there are to be
flying machines to cast shells into
besiesed towns, and the like. I
neither accept nor reject such
stories entirely" The difficulty in
war science is, obviously, less to
imagine device than to conquer its
technical difficulties. In 1894 there
was talk of the airman, Coutelle,
crossing the Channel in his big bal
loon and doing dire things to the
island enemy-no novelty, the air

wars of Frances first republic

1t is chiefly in the more liberal ap-
plication of wars cruelties to ciyili-

NO TROUBLE WITH PRISONERS
American Private Was Not in tho
Least Afraid That Any Would Try
to Get Away From Him.

This is the experience Of Private
Henry P. Lennert of Missouri and
the German soldiers he captured the
other day, as told by Correspondent
Wood Of Chicago:
The captain, who recognized Len
merit as one of the battalion runners,
crawled out of his bunk and walked
out. The prisoners, their officers
standing in front, saluted as if on
parade.
'My heavens! How many have
you there?" asked the officer, his
sleepy eyes wide open.
81 don't know, SIR replied Len
merit.
"Better count them so you'll
know if you lose any" suggested
the captain.
They'll follow me anywhere, but
I'll have them counted, sir" an.
swered Lennert.
He called a short, stocky under.
officer out of the ranks and gave him
an order in German. The sergeant
hustled back and the Elm, zwei

nary to Squads by fours," in every
army, started.
'There are rs, sir, and four off.

adjutant.
"No. [ can handle them all right,
sir" said Lnnert. ''They want to 60

can high or low, can be deceived by
any German words after the recent
revelation Of German deeds? And
we are only at the beginning of the
/ disclosure; we are just entering Bel
GUM, and in the next few weeks the
story Of German crime and oppres-
sion il Belgium will stagger human
ity. Four years Of slavery, despoli-
otion, murder anr worse than murder
are to be unfolded when our liberat
ing armies reach Brussels, Antwerp
and Liege
The German believes he can make
peace before these facts are suffi-
GENTLY known to give decisive char
acter to the terms Of that peace he
now seeks. He believes that while
French cities are in ashes and French
factories in ruins, he can in his own
factories, freed from all French or
Belgian competition, dominate world
industry, as he tried to dominate
world politics. He believes that,
having reduced the merchant marine
of the world by his unrestricted sub
marine warfare, he can coin money
for his own shipping, which will take
the place of the lost enemy boats.
The German has lots the battle
he knows it quite as well as we know
it-but he has not yet lost the war.
He is preparing for peace, but his
preparations are being made in
French and Belgian cities. Are we
going to let him get away with it?
If we do, what people will resist the
next German attack? Certainly not
the French or the Belgian-and on
this as well as on industrial profits
from devastation the German counts. 4
1--WE must deal with France in
such fashion that she will never cross
our pathway again"-so Bernhard
wrote-and to this end Ludendorff
is now laboring.

Good Roads Would Re-
lieve Present Situation

Never has the necessity for a
system of good, hard-surfaced
roads been impressed upon the
people of Terrebonne Parish as
it has during the past two
weeks.
Never has the full meaning of
their value been shown before.
The influenza epidemic which
has swept every part of the
country and which has covered
Terrebonne Parish like a blanket,
has brought home to nearly ev-
cry family the plain fact that
good roads are the best invest
ment for any community.
Fortunately it is not often
that bad roads mean loss of life.
Of late, however, they have
meant this very thing. The cpl
demic has taken its toll of lives
in Terrebonne. Physicians have
been unable to reach all sick per-
sons. The spell of rains and bad
weather has blocked them en-
tirely from using the roads.
Lack of a physicians care means
loss of life in time like this.
And yet, when it is suggested
to improve of our highways
to drain and hard-surface them,
there is always someone who
opposes the move-someone to
whom the expense necessary to
build the road seems like a waste
Of money.
There are a few persons in
Terrebonne at the the present
so shortsighted as not to see the
need for improved highways and
not to want them. With good,
hard roads leading in every di-
rection from Houma and the par
ishes crossed by the Southern
National Highway, whereby
tourists will travel through this
section enroute from New Or
leans to Houston, Terrebonne
will boom-will go ahead in ev-
cry respect. New industries are
even now coming into the par
ish. New people are coming here
to live and new prosperity is on
the way.
But before this parish can re-
ceive the full value from her
wonderful resources and can
claim the full need of prosperity
that she deserves as the Queen
Parish of Louisiana, she must
first make it possible to get out
Of her own way.
Right now she is stuck in the
nud.-Houma Times.

they'd like to put another stamp on

Let The Mercy Contribu-
tons Continue As
The Need Is
Great
Every Dollar Available Will Be
Needed To Garry On The
Relief Work Being Done

Let the Influenza Fund grow.
No solicitors are making the
rounds with lists asking for con-
tributions. This is a free-wlll
offering which must be prompt
ed and come spontaneously from
the hearts of the good people
who realize the great need OF
such a fund.
This fund is now being used
for many needed purposes. The
money contributed is making it
possible for the Red Cross to
carry on its work effectively
and hundreds of dollars are be-
ing used in the great work OF
mercy and relief.
The Red Cross Soup Kitchen
is doing great work and it must
not be permitted to lessen in its
scope. The Red Cross workers
are finding cases where not on
" nursing and medicines are
needed but hired cooks, house
cleaners and bed clothing are
absolutely necessary.
This fight against the wide
spread disease that covers the
country like a blanket is every
mans fight. Every person
should find it possible to extend
some help financial or other
wise, to those in distress. By
a united effort, the community
will find that the epidemic may
be overcome and with less than
a united effort it may continue
indefinitely with dire results.
The list to date is given be-
low. If your name is not on it,
send in your bit to the banks or
to the Review Office and prompt
Acknowledgement will be made.

AUSTRIASEEKS
TO EXCEL HUN
IN 0UTRAGES
Treatment of Italian Prisoners
Has No Parallel for Sheer
Brutality
SENT HOME WHEN DYING

Washington, d. c., May 13.-Italian
prisoners in Austria are subjected to
horrible outrages, despatch from
Rome today says:
Never in the history Of the civil
lied world have such outrages been
registered" it says "the whole thing
seems to be systematic effort on the
part Of Austria to destroy the manhood
Of Italy. Austria is endeayoring in
every possible way 20 s4rpass in
cruelty and ferocity of her accom-
plices."
The despatch says Italian prisoners
have been stripped and left without
food or care if wounded.
Most of them die of hunger and
plague. tuberculosis is raging, and
thousands of consumptives fill the con.
centration camps. When their condi-
ton becomes desperate the prisoners
are returned to Italy in exchange for
Austrian prisoners, whose conditions
in Italian camps have improved. In
the last 800 prisoners sent back to
Italy from Austria all were suffering
from tuberculosis in very advanced
stage.

SWAT THIS HUN LIE, HARD
Our Boys in France Are Not Becoming
ton Shows Less Venereal Disease Than
in Civil Life
BY the REV. CHARLES STELZE

New York. May 15.-These men are
the finest flower of America-the pick
of our universities. shops and bust
ness houses. If they have permitted
themselves to sink to the moral level
described by some writer's, then the
Lord have mercy on our cOuntry-it
is scarcely worth saving said my
friend Dan Polling, who has just re-
turned from three months study or
conditions at the front in France.
Polling is a red-bloOded American
he knows men--and likes them. He's
a mans man, and they like him., too.
Eut he isn't blind to their frailities.
He has been studying moral problems
in this country too long to be fooled
by surface signs Polling is associate
president and good citizenship super
intendent of the United States Society
of Christian Endeavor.
He went to the front with the privi-
lege of seeing everything that is to
be seen; he visited every hospital
and comes back with the report tina,
THERE is LESS NVENEREAL DIS
EASE AMONG OUR SOLDIERS
THAN ONE FINDS AMONG CIVIL
IANS IN PEACE-TME.
General Pershing has laid down
rigid rules on the subject of vice.
Any man assOciating with immoral
women is liable to a cOurt.martial. II
he cOnfesses to such action he is
treated by a physician, but lie is still
subject to the sevtrest discipline, and
if he becomes diseased, he expects lit
tie mercy, all Of which has tended to
make even the most reckless men
mighty careful of their conduct.
Charges that our men have become
immoral since they went to France
are bitterly resented by the soldiers
and rightfully so. 1t would be fool
ish to say that the million men in
the new American army are all saints.
But for every man spoiled by army
life ten men have been helped to
higher ideals.
OUR ARMY DOES NOT HAVE A
RUM RATION, as has been reported
although the French and English SOL
diers do.
wherever our officers are in COM
plete control, no booze is permitted
says Polling.

Liberty Motors to
Equip Allied Planes

Washington, May Is. - American
built Liberty motors may reach the
fighting lines in France driving French
and British scout airplanes. 1t was
learned last night that urgent requests
from the allied governments for early
delivery of the American engines have
been received and are being met. Ship
ments have already been made to
Great Britain and there are intima-
lions General Pershing approves d.
verting additional motors to meet the
French and British requirements, even
if further delay to production of Am
erican scouts results.
The British government it is said,
after careful investigation of the en-
CINE by an expert sent over for that
purpose, has been pressing steadily
for thousands of motors to be deliv-
cred for use in British machines.
The French experts, at first some.
what doubtful of the motor are now
asking for and will receive engines
by July /.
To support their view that the days
of delays in aircraft production are
over officials point to the fact that
laSJ IuOIlu Saw ILlUcl LlCS uCIlNSl GU III
hundreds The output last month, so
far as known here, was greater than
that of any foreign motor with the
possible exception of one 1870 horse
power type used in France. No high
power motor, approaching the Liber-
tty $50 figure, was within sight OF the
American output. 1t was to reach
that end in quantity production it
was declared that the Liberty was de-
signed.
There were several developments
today in the aircraft situation. John
d. RYAN director general Of produc-
ton for the army and chairman of the
aircraft board, made his first directing
move by announcing the appointment
of Archer A. Landon, vice president
of the American Radiator Company OF
Buffalo, New York to have charge OF
the production division.

physicians stated today that the con-

young girl from Van Hook who was
brought to local hospital yesterday
suffering from severe burns, is very
serious and doubts are entertained as
to her recovery. Miss kendrick liv-
ed on the farm Of her brother, Henry,
a few miles from Van Hook and was
severely burned on Thursday when she
attempted to pour gasoline from a five
gallon can on an open fire. The
flames caused the explosion of the
can and the burning liquid fell all
over her body. Her clothes were
burned off her before help arrived and
eXtinguished the flames. She was
rushed to Minot and given every at

HAGAN SPEAKS
OF POSSIBILITY
OF EMERGENCY
Ordinarily Labor Supply Would
Suffice, But We Cannot
Take Chances
WOULD BUILD UP RESERVE

Under any ordinary conditio moi
affairs, with the crops in Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, South Dakota and Min
nesOta ripening normally, there should
be no harvest labor difficulty in North
Dakota this summer" said Commits
sfoner of Agriculture and Labor John
N. .Hagan today. ''If, however, through
any abnormal conditions such as un.
usually rapid growth or early hot
winds, the crops in this state should
ripen prematurely, before the harvest
has been completed in states to the
south of us, then we would have q
real emergency on our hands, and we
would need every able-bodied man in
North Dakota who could do a days
work in the field.
ut is for this reason that we are
doing everything within our power
to encourage the organization Of a
farm labor reserve as planned by the
North Dakota Council of Defense We
are grateful for the assistance pledged
by the North Dakota bankers asso.
citation, and we are confident that the
bankers will be glad to cooperate with
the state council, for, as pointed out
to the bankers in discussing this mat
ter with them recently, we must CO.

all work in concert to work 1t out
successfully. AS Il understand the
council OF defense plan. WI ych Is
urged by the national administration
it contemplates the appointment in
each county of farmer chairman,
who will name committee Of three,
to include a banker, merchant and
farmer, which in turn will name sub
committees in each town and village.
These subcommittee will attend to
the actual work of enrolling or sign
ing up farm labor reserve. We may
never need this reserve, or any large
proportion of it at least, but is highly
important that we have it available
should there come an emergency In
which the loss of a few days time
may mean the ruin Of millions Of
bushels of grain. If abnormal con-
ditions which have obtained up to
this time continue, our crops will ripen
far ahead of the usual time, and in
that case, unless the same conditions
prevail to the south of us, and their
crops are already harvested, we shall
need a big army Of North Dakota men
