EMBLEMS OF DEATH FOR TOYS

Toys! For whom? For the inno-
cents carried down when the "Lusi-
tania" sank? For those tear-eyed
Belgian children who stretch forth
little arms from which the hands
were struck off by the swords of
German officers? For those French
boys and girls with pitiful sightless
eyes? For those whose little bodies
rest in the churchyards of Italy that
died in pain from poisoned Hun can
dy? For those other children slow
ly starved to death in Poland or
massacred in Armenia?
Toys? Toys made by Huns to whom
innocence and childhood are but toys
to be played with and then crushed
and broken? Toys whose very con-
tact contaminates and leaves upon
the touch of babyhood invisible clots
of blood? AS well bring a deadly
serpent into the home to spew its
venom on the cradle. Why shall we
befoul and faint the purity of Ann
erican childhood with reminder of
the fiendish treatment the Huns have
gloried in ever since that fateful Aug
ust of 1914? Can one even look upon
a Noah's Ark made in Germany"
and put from his mind those hum
dreds of helpless innocents whose sill
ken locks are twi1ed with seaweed !?

The Warning from Massachusetts

New York World: Ex-Governor
David I. Walsh of Massachusetts, is
the Democrat elected to the United
States senate from that state since
the organization of the Republican
party. This is not particularly sig
nificant Of anything related to the
recent constitutional change from the
legislative to the popular vote in the
election Of United States senator, for
Senator Lodge had been reelected by
popular vote in 1916. Its great sig
nificance must rather be found in the
policies for which the defeated Re-
publican candidate, Senator John W.
Weeks, had come to stand.
Since the United States entered
the war, Mr.. Weeks in the senate
has taken leading position as an
obstructive critic of the president for
apparently partisan reasons only.
Among those prominent Republican
who have sought to capitalize the
conduct of the war and the conditions
of peace and the result of the war to
party account Mr.. Weeks has been
conspicuous. This is true whether
we consider the attempt in congress
to transfer the functions of the ex-
ecutive as commander in chief to
"three distinguished citizens of DEM
o1strated ability" or the more recent
effort to upset the presidents peace
terms after virtual acceptance by the
Allied governments.
The defeat of Mr.. Weeks by plur-
atty about equal to that given to
the Republican candidate for COVER
nor is condemnation Of this atti-
tude my highly intelligent and nor
mally Republican electorate too clear
to be mistaken. Massachusetts has
no sympathy with disruption of ma
tienal policies in the war or with re-
dictionary party politics to follow the
war. There is warning in this
which even Senator Lodge may not
miss.

ALASKA BEDS IN
 NEU|[lY FRANCE
 AR{ APPRECIATED
Mrs. Riggs Receives Letter From Friend Who Has Visited
 French Hospital.


 On the last mail Mrs. Hildebrand received letter from Mrs. Riggs. with the following interesting en- closure:
 4 Rue Henri Moissan (Quai d'Orsay) Saxe 70-32
 Paris, May 1, 1918 Mrs. Thomas Riggs,
 Care Messrs. Coudert Bros, Rector street,
 New York City.
 Dear Mrs. Riggs.
 It was very pleasant, indeed, hear ing from you again, and have en- Joyed going out to the ambulance and seeing the Alaska beds for YOU. There are IA Alaska beds in all, the named ones beino given by: Nenana, Talkeetna, Turnagain Arm, Fairbanks, Matanuska, Seward, and Anchorage.
 In one of the Anchorage beds was a French artilleur who was badly wounded by gas and hit in the leg by shell at Lassigny on the 3Oth of March. He says his battery of 75 was left intact, but an eclat d. obus went through one leg and grazed the other, and owing to the gas he had received, he had less vitality for recovery, so he may be in bed for a long time. He was smoking bad cigarettes with infin- lte pleasure and cracking jokes and making puns about the name of the town in whose bed he lay, and asked me to tell you that he was inn mensely grateful to his absent friends for giving him such a com fortable recovery as he was making. In the other Anchorage bed was a chasseur a pied, with one leg amputated at the thigh, also wound ed at Lassigny by the same shell which hit the first man. He was ex. ceedingly merry, but considerably resented his inability to go back to the front and get one more Boche.
 The hospital has 700 beds and could' In an extreme emergency, crowd 1000 or even I believe, 1.O3O and there are 12 small auxiliary hospitals for convalescents, contain ing 400 beds. But the bosnital IS Tar from full at present, as de- spite the big offensive, the wounded were relatively few, and scarcely any have come into this region. If we nave a bad time in Champagne later, suppose it will fill up and then if l find any interesting per- sonal notes from the Alaska beds. shall be glad to send them to VOL
 The little secretary at the hospi- tai who has charge of the named beds had sent to Nenana the latest information, but her letter could not have reached you, of course. when you wrote me.
 The poilus were very much inter- ested to hear that Nenana is the newest town in North America, and said it made them feel quite old in comparison, and that they couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in a place where they could not think back 100 years. They were very much amused by the idea of an American lady going about in ooS sleo, ana said It was much better than the mud in Flanders, but that now that wouldn't matter, as all they had to do, f they got stuck in it, would be to unbuckle their artificial limbs and leave them behind! Tell your friends at Ne mana that this grim humor is the order of the day. There is nothing these amazingly brave men won't say about themselves, and they really don't seem to care what sac rifices they make, provided they are sure of ending the Boche for all time.

CAMPAIGN TO BE DISCUSSED
AT JEANERETTE.

The supporters of either Of the
three aspirants for Senatorial
honors will have an opportunity
to hear the rival candidates
espouse their cause for votes from
our citizens on Sunday. August
18th at our sister town Of jean
erette. They have all been is
sued special invitations to speak
from the same stump at the picnic
of the Woodmen of the World on
the above date. Governor Hall,
Mr.. Oyerton and Representative
Gay of Iberville have all accepted
the opportunity to discuss their
candidacy. This will be an ex-
cellent opportunity for those who
have not yet made up their minds
how they stand to judge the quail
ifications of each aspirant and
make a selection, according to
their own opinions. In Iberia it
is very evident eighty-fve per
cent. of the voters are open and
avowed supporters Of Governor
Hall and unless the sentiment
swings another way we sincerely
believe Governor Hall will be the
choice in the first primary with
out any second contest. From
the moment of his announcement
the sentiment in the sugar par
ishes as we'll as the entire State
leaned towards the Governor for
this responsible position and all
most daily another pronounce
ment is made by some prominent
citizen in the State that he can
better represent the masses in the
halls of the Senate at Washing
ton.
