LOT tnus unmasking their evil work.
The German Bishops and the War.
The Prince Bishop of Breslau, who
remarks in his Lenten Pastoral that
the bells of the German churches
which have been sacrificed in the war
raised parting cry for peace, refers
IN that document to the criticism
Whlch has been directed against the
German Catholics. "A sad spectacle. .
he says, has presented itself to us
IN these last years when in Catho-
TIC circles in other countries, doubt
mas been cast on our Catholicity.
IheSe attacks have been repealed
with calmness and dignity. But the
best answer is, and will always be.
the firm attachment of the Catholics
OF Austria and Germany to the rock
OF Peter" The German Catholics
could not be justly accused of want
or weakness of. faith, and the Pas
torals of their Bishops have not only
been profoundly religious in spirit
and language, but also, on the whole.
Tree from definite charges against the
peoples with whom Germany is in

lands cannot understand is how there

which Germany has gained for her

thousand two hundred and sixty per-
sons received the sacrament of con-

Reverend Bishop McCort, of Philadel-

years. The magnitude of this
astounding total, disclosed by the Off
cial diocesan records, is emphasized
when it is considered that every
week, on an average, during his epis-
copacy, Bishop McCort enrolled $50

Priest Farmers. The Pope has
withdrawn the prohibition preventing
Italian clergymen from agricultural
employment. In fact, Italian Bishops
have now authorized, country parish
priests and the rural clergy in gen

and to assist in the cultivation of land
owned by peasants in the district
where they reside. Possibly no bet
ter inducement toward intensified
cultivation could be afforded than the
removal of such prohibition.

the Benefit Of the
Allies.
SHOW RESULTS

When figures began to show def
inilely That the people OF the United
States We're actually reducing their
consumption Of foods needed abroad,
ilie United States Food Admins
tiation was told that it was COM
~.uratiyely easy to bring about conser
alton of staple necessities, but that It
.snuld be far more difficult to accom-
plisll an actual decrease IN the nsesof
lnxurics. The doubters took sugar as
he practically impossible to bring our
consumption Of sugar down to II point
that would meet only the food needs
of the people.
Now that demands upon ocean ton.
mage Will be %lightened. European ma.
tons will BE able to go farther nfield
for foodstutfs. and will no longer be
entirely dependent for sugar upon
North American supplies. With the
stocks now in prospect, we will have
sufficient sugar 10 place this country
buck upon normal consumption if the
present short rations In Europe are
not materially increased. II the Eu-
ropean ration Is to be materially in
creased over the present low amount
1t can be only through the American
peoples making it possible by con-
tinued restriction to a greater Or less
extent here.
The fact that the Food Administra.
ton has been able / o relax the volun-
tary sugar ration Is in Itself proof that
the ration of two pounds per person
per month was generally observed
throughout the country. This conser-
walton allowed the Food Administers
tion to build up a reserve, and to tide
over the period of scarcity, until the
the new crops of Louisiana cane and
beet sugar were ready for distribution.
The records of the Food Admins
tration show that in July, August, Sep
TENDER and October 995, 1000 tons We're
distributed. Normal consumption for
that period is 100000 tons. This
shows Il definite. concrete saving of

On Wednesday of last week the
Boys Basketball team had a lively
game with a quintet made up of for

some tine the Light Plant was on the

be no game. However, gas lights
were procured from friends in the

from the time the referee blew the
whistle. The H. S. won by a score
of % to IL. Another game will be
scheduled in the near future, so any,
one desiring some real fun is urged
to be present The proceeds from

AS a curtain raiser to the Boys
Basketball game there was a girls
game played by the RED and
white" A great deal Of interest
was exhibited by the spectators in this
display of feminine skill at the floor

ers get a team in trim so as to play
at some time this winter.

At the time of the trial the pris-

and denied most positively that
he had ever uttered the words
that he had been charged with.
Despite his denial the evidence
adduced was such that Judge
Power could do nothing but find
him guilty, and a penalty of 800

was turned loose. The subsequent
day Mr.. Burke received a telc-

| Owing to the assertions by
certain persons that discrimina-
ton was made by the Exemption
| Board in not sending off to Camp
Pike last Tuesday, Mr.. George
RenOudet, we were requested by
Sheriff Landry and Clerk of Court
Gonsoulin to state that even the
number 622. which preceded
Mr.. Renoudet's was not called.
The young man who had the
honor of having that number is
Mr.. Joseph Romero, both of whom
are the first subjected to service
in the next draft. Mr.. Renoudet
had made every provision to take
his place in the ranks of the
patriots, but under the law he
must await until his time arrives.
The books Of the Exemption
Board are always open to inspec-
ton for any one, and that being
the case no criticism is justified
on the part of anybody. Tn this
respect Iberia Parish was fortu-
nate that the personel of the
board is comprised of such fair
minded officials, as they have
done their best to manage the
draft so as to infict no hardship
upon any one.
