We had an appreciated call
this week from Mr.. Frank A.
Cassidy representing the Al. G.
Barnes Circus. The show is ad-
vertising to exhibit here on Oct.
I'd. 1t has been some four years
since this famous attraction has
paid New Iberia a visit. New
Iberia has always been noted as
one of the best show towns from
standpoint Of attendance in the
United States. Since the large
drafts for the army, we are in
clined to thing the attendance
this year will fall off materially.
The public schools of the Par
lsh have again been opened to the
children for the 191S-1919 term.
From what we learn the enroll
ment is equally as large as last
year in every school room, many
Of the patrons are happy to have
their children back at their stu
dies. 1t would be an excellent
idea to have the term advanced
another month during this session
making ten months in all, rather
than the usual nine months term.
This would be more satisfactory
to the teachers, as well as the
patrons. particularly at this time
when time lost is money lost to
all concerned.

Investigation by Surg. Gen. Blue

there is danger of the Introduction

This was made known by J. H

that quarantine officers had been
directed to make careful examina-

disease.

AUSTR|ANS SAY ALLIED
ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED
Strong Republic Will Be Able to
Arise With Proper Aid,
Is Claim.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, November 24.-'Provided
the allies extend immediate help. the
Austrian republic will be able to arise
from the position it is in at present"
said DR.. Joseph Redlich. former min
lister of finance. to the correspondent
today.
I'VE hope there is no revengefur de-
sire on the part Of the allies to see US
remain in poverty" he continual. "Our
enemies should be generous and re-
member at least that Austria did
what she considered her duty to her
ally and tried repeatedly to give up
the war If we are helped. we will be
able to help ourselves. Our people are
farmers and men of the industrial
classes. all willing to work and not
inclined to bolshevism. Our financial
position looks like bankruptcy on pa
per. but we will be able to pay our
war debts.
Gold Reserves Small.
Our gold reserves are small-per-
haps a half million crowns-but that
is of no great Importance. in my
opinion. What I urge is that we be
helped back to a productive basis. If
We can get food now we will be able
to keep order. If we can get coal we
will begin working. If we can get
cotton. metals and raw materials
production will go on. We will also be
auiet politically. which is desired by
America and the allies. Whether we
are tied up to the German federation
or not Is an unsettled question. even
among ourselves. 1t is my opinion
that we must form federation with
the broken up parts of the former en-
pre- for commercial purposes"
Says Loan Is Necessary.
Ludwig Won Neupath. director of the
Austrian Credit Bank, said today,
while discussing the situation:
The Austrian republic must first be
given loan to be used for the par-
pose of sending food and coal into the
country to prevent famine and dis
order. Then it must obtain another
loan of s50.000,000 to buy a six-month
stock of cotton, wool and copper.
DIPLOMATIC pressure should be
brought to bear against the Czechs,
arrival of coal and metals from Ga
licia and other points. The peace
conference should also apportion the
debts of the former Austrian empire
equitably among the Czechs, Hungar-
ians. Austrians and Jugo-Slavs. This
debt now totals 56,000.000.000 kronen,
$4,000. 100000 of which is in paper
money which is circulating in all
parts of the country. If the Aus
trian republic is made to shoulder
this war debt she is bound to be
bankrupt. Before the war normal ex-
penses for the army totaled 2,000.-
100000 kronen. If there is no army
or navy in future, this sum will be
sufficient to pay the interest on the
country's debt"

GERMANY MUST
BE BROKEN OR

Better That We Die Now

Fargoan Writes

Until German military power is

many viii allow peoples to rule
themselves; If that goal is not reach
ed the war VIII have been In vain
and it will mean that the children OF
the men who live win have to go TO
new war. according to 3 letter
written by Lieut.. Harry S. Kedney,
born In Fargo, the SON OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis Kedney. to his mother,
now resident Of Salem. N. J., a copy
OF which has been received by Mrs.
n. b.. Blakemore, 924 Tenth street
south.
'It is much better that we should
die now and settle the matter than
that we should live to have our chill
dren slaughtered" Lieutenant Ked-
ney writes. $50 want You to insist
with all your might for war and more
war until Germany tB beaten"
Lieutenant Kedney urges against
the consideration Of any German
peace terms.
There viii come a time when Ger
many win offer peace terms which
will seem quite reasonable, but which
will leave the military caste in pow
er. Then will be the critical time;
then will the paeiflsts and the selfish
ones demand peace, and Ii Is then
that the people OF brains and fore
sight must insist on a continuation
and fight for it with all their power"
Discussing conditions "over here"
Lieutenant Kedney declares they are
not so bad, everything considered.
so conditions seem TO be bad over
there?n he asks. I think, all things
considered. that they are wonderfully
fine. You must remember that our
country. thanks TO the id pacifists
was in an outrageous state OF unpre-
paredness. They blocked every ef-
fort for constructive legislation, and
when war did come the country was
in friEhtful shape for IT,"
