probation of their service.
By order of the St. Tammany Coun-
Gil of Defense, June II, 1918.

To the Honorable the Senate and
House of Representatives, Compos-
ing the General Assembly OF the
State of Louisiana, now in Session:
The Council of Defense of the Par
ish of St. Tammany, in which the
Council of Defense OF the Parish OF
Washington concurs, respectfully re-
quests:
That, in view Of the fact that our
State and Nation is now involved in
a sanguinary war, and in order to
further the aims of our government
and to aid and assist in the prosecu-
ton of the war to ultimate victory.
it is necessary that each and every
citizen Of our State be compelled 10
do his or her part by engaging in
some useful occupation continuous
ly;
And in view of the further fact
that we have large class of people
who are not so engaged and who are
not punishable under the present
statutes of the State, known as the
Vagrancy Law, and, whereas, we
deem such laws to be necessary in
the successful prosecution of the
war,
Be it resolved, That we send this
our memorial to the General AS
sembly of the State of Louisiana,
asking said General Assembly to sus-
pend the rules recently adopted and
have some member introduce and
amend Section 2737, ETC., of the Re-
vised Statutes SO as to place it with
in the power of the District Courts
of this State to make every able
bodied citizen fight or work, and fix
ing a penalty therefor commensurate
with the offense;
Be it further resolved, That copy
of this resolution be transmitted t.
the Senators of the Nineteenth Sena-
torial District and to the Representa-
tive for the Parish of st. Tammany
and to the Representative for ths
Parish of Washington in order thai
said memorial may be presented tt
the Legislature and appropriate pro
ceedings passed. .

ment, was the devising OF means for
Furnishing those who gave utterance
to pro-German sentiment and state
ments humiliating and degrading to
the Government. Mr.. B. M. Miller
was requested to draw up resolutions
to be forwarded to the Federal au-
thorities asking that action be taken
in the punishment OF certain parties
guilty of these offenses.
" Judge Carter stated that an act of
1910 proided for punishment of GER
tain acts of disloyalty, and that any
one committing an offense covered
by that act. and proven to be guilty
in his court. would receive the limit
penalty provided thereby.
The matter of Migrants and idlers
refusing to work was also taken up
and provision will be made to at
tend to such cases.
Resolutions Passed.
Whereas, 1t is of the utmost i'm
portance that a soldier entering the
service Of his country should realize
the responsibility of his position and
the necessity of army discipline, con-
Quoting himself with the loyal digni-
ty that lends honor to the flag and
clothes himself in the respect that is
due one who risks his life for his
country; and
Whereas, friends and acquaint-
ances have been in the habit of pre-
senting departing soldiers with TASKS
of whisky and other intoxicants at
the time Of entertainment, thoughtless-
ly disregarding the great harm that
might result, and believing they were
doing an act of kindness in provid-
ing them with something that would
be difficult to obtain thereafter; and
Whereas, an enlisted or drafted
man becomes a soldier of the U. S.
Army, automatically, from the hour
at which he is required to report to
the Exemption Board for service, and
the having in his possession OF in
toxicants and the giving of same BY
any one after that time, is viola
ton OF the law and subject to fines
and penalties the same as selling
liquor to soldiers; and
Whereas, the departure Of the SOL
diers should be accompanied by dem
onstrations of our esteem, and they
should be made to feel that they ere
valued for their service and patriot
ism and occupy the thoughts OF the
citizens whom they leave behind.
Now therefore be it
Resolved, That the st. Tammany
Council of Defense deplores the CIV
ing of intoxicants of any kind to SOL
diers entraining and will prosecute
any one doing SO; that the Council
will appreciate the attendance Of
members of the Exemption Board at
times OF entrainment; and that every
effort should be made to show the
