HENRY Nj. GILL AND DoNELSON
cAFFERY ARE HEARD AT
BATON ROUGE.
MUST MAINTAIN LIBERTY
Declares II Is Individual Americans
Responsibility To Sacrifice His Owr
indulgence and Comforts as
Necessities.
Baton Rouge

Baton Rouge
When you realize the mental atti
tude of the German people towards
the other peoples of the world. and
how thoroughly unified they are in the
conception that the state must be pre-
eminent to everything and it's rule
| dominate every other consideration
you then will realize that nothing but
absolute and complete defeat by the
| Allies and America can ever induce
them to accept a different attitude
towards the world" Henry III. Gill,
| speaking in Baton Rouge at the be-
ginning of the statewide campaign of
the Speakers Bureau of the State
Council of Defense, told his audience.
1T is the idea of Prussian hege-
mony which the rest of Europe and
America are fighting against, and the
American conception that popular lib
erty is inalienable and must be main
tained, that are the fundamental prin-
ciples arrayed against each other" he
said, ''and the Allies and America are
determined to make justice and liberty
prevail. America individually must
realize in full the seriousness of the
situation and the real possibility of
defeat for this nation If every man.
woman and child is to rally to the
cause and bear his and her full share
of the burden"
Donelson Caffrey, the other speak
ar SoS1 hof
tory we civilians are as much combat
ants as are the men in the front line
trenches.
1t is the individual Americans re-
sponsibility to sacrifice his own in
dulgencies and comforts and many of
the things he has regarded ordinarily
as necessities, and perhaps later to
give up real necessities and know pri-
yation, all the time giving as literally
of his money as he can to the govern
ment, if the war is to be won for JUS
tice and the right"
The opening night Of the campaign
here, which followed a day spent by
these speakers in touring the neigh
boring parishes and awakening the
people therein to the situation, was a
success in every way, despite incle-
ment weather. Mayor Grouchy acted
as chairman. The J.. S. U. band fur
sished patriotic music, and the Home
Guard attended in uniform. The
campaign was begun simultaneously |
n Lake Charles. Monroe, Baton |
Rouge. Alexandria, and other towns.

WORK OF The PATRIOTIC
GARDEN LEAGUE OF TEXAS
School Superintendens, Teachers,
Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls, Women's
Organizations Are Cooperating.

Austin, Text can not fight the
kaiser with gun, but can fight hin
with a hoe" writes 16-year old San
! Williams of Lancaster on his applica
ton for enrolment as a member of the
Patriotic Garden League of Texas.
/ IF the co-ordinated movement for a
greater production of food and feed in
Texas during 1918 accomplishes moth,
ing more than the formation of the
| Garden League for the cultivation of
war gardens, it will have fully justi-
fled its efforts" said w. C. Barrick-
man, who has been loaned to the cam
paign by the Texas Industrial Con-
ture of the work.
We have already printed and dis
trputed 100000 applications for mem
hership in tie league, and have placed
another order for 10000 additional
cards. County school superintendents,
teachers and pupils of public schools,
boy scouts, campfire girls and mem
bers of many different womens organ
izations are heartily cooperating in
the campaign.
"The state superintendent of schools
has endorsed our plans for a garden in
every home in Texas: the food admin
istrator has granted us a mail frank;
and the governor of Texas has pre-
pared certificate of membership in
the league bearing his official seal,
which is to be sent to every man, wo-
man and child who agrees to help win
the war by planting a garden this
year.
From every section of the State
and by every mail we are receiving re-
quests for membership application
cards ranging in number from 10 up to
10000; Houston has asked for $4,000,
Galveston 10000, San Antonio 10000,
the county superintendent of Bastrop
county wants 1000, Hill county 5000,
Hopkins county 5000, and so on.
Every newspaper has been asked
to print the membership application
blank in its columns for the next few |
weeks, and many of them have al |
ready complied, with the result that
hundreds have been clipped from the
papers, signed and mailed to B. F.
Johnson. manager of the Texas Food
and Feed Production Campaign at
Austin.
The ages of applicants vary from
years to 10, and at least one mem

Naval gunners sent on a special
train from st. Johns shot line across
the bow OF the partly submerged ship,
but waited in vain for it to be hauled
aboard. Just before darkness bIotted
the wreck from view five men, driven
from the forecastle by the giant seas,
were seen to climb the forward rig
ging, signalling feebly for help. But
when they failed to make fast the line
1t was feared that they had succumbed
to the cold and exposure. Those five
were the only one visible on board
several hours after the ship struck.
Somewhere beyond the white male
strom of breakers two stanch rescue
steamers lay in waiting for a favor
able moment to send boat through
the surf.
Included among the passengers were
twelve women and four children.
Among the first cabin passengers were
John Shannon Mum, a managing di-
rector of the firm or Bowring Bros,
