Lloyd George, the British Premier. rrade a statement a
few days ago OF the terms on which the Allies would consider
stopping the war. He but emphasized and reechoed what Pres
ident Wilson had already said on the same subject. There was
nothing in the Premiers demands that meant for the division
or breaking up of the German or Austrian nations, or for the
wiping off the map of any country OF the Central Powers. What
he did state, however, was that Germany must pay for the
wrong done Belgium and that her war machine must be cut
down as a guarantee of the future peac" Of the world. Now if
Germany has not been playing the hypocrite in this as in other
things, she has a chance to show her hand.

With all the attacks upon him. no

of its death:

However, we have some legal matter

The War Industries Board has
made it plain that the closing of all
nonesSential printing Offices is neces-
sary and patriotic. In addition to that,
the board has placed into effect rules
and regulations that render us ahso-
lutely helpless to continue the paper
under the circumstances. If we should
continue. we would have to raise the
subscription to 50 per year, and all
subscribers not renewing would have

Direction of all Army Y. M. G. A.
activities in the entire Southern De-
partment is the large responsibility
given to Wilman E. Adams, Executive
Secretary, by the National War Work
Council early in the development of
the extensive program of the Y. NJ. G.
A. in its efforts on behalf of the SOL
diers.
Mr.. Adams is the administrative
head of the territory made up Of
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, LOUISE
ana, New Mexico, and Arizona, in
which is located large per cent Of
the army camps of the entire country.
Under his administration the opera
tons of the Army Y. NJ. C. A have
grown until there is now in opera
ton, or in process Of construction, one
Y. NJ. G. A. building for every $500 SOL
diers located in these Southwestern
states. When it is remembered that
there are several hundred thousand
soldiers in training in the Southern
Department camps, including Camp
AAuNASs SdAAp lac, Sulup buWIc, SdAlH
Macarthur, Camp Cody, Camp Doni-
phan, Fort Sill, Camp Beauregard,
Kelly Field, and the other great flying
fields of the department, it will be un-
derstood that Mr.. Adams occupies a
position Of similar Importance to that
Of a Major General.
In addition to the camp activities of
the Army Y. M. G. A. directed by Mr..
Adams and efficiently executed by his
army of men in the uniform of the Red
Triangle, the Southern Department
executive secretary has under his
supervision the Army Y. NJ. c. A. ac-
tivities along the entire Mexican bor-
der, from Brownsville, Texas, to Yuma,
Arizona, where many Y. NJ. c. A. sta
tons are located, and where fleet of
eighteen auto trucks take to the sol
diers in isolated places the comforts
and pleasures of the Y. NJ. C. A.
Mr.. Adams is one of the pioneers
Of the Army Y. NJ. G. A. movement.
He was actively identified with the
Army ''Y" work with the troops on
the border and in Mexico.

THE HENDED DRAFT La W.

Under the amended draft law every
male person between the ages OF eigl-
teen and twenty-one years and thirty
one and forty-fiye years must register
on the 18th of this month. 1t is esti-
mated that the registration will be be-
tween twelve and thirteen millions. OF
this number it is also estimated that
100000 will be called for active SER
vice within the next few months.
There are now about one and a half
million American soldiers i'll France.
When this new contingent begins to
arrive. we shall soon see the beginning
of the end which, in English, is the
defeat of the Huns and the overthrow
of the German Empire. Had we done
one year ago what is being done now,
the war would have heen ended. Italy
enacted IL law drafting every male be-
tween the ages of eighteen and forty
three years into the army, and thus
saved that country from destruction !:
and it was by the strongest effort. for
at that time there were very few Amer
leans across the ocean. and these were
still in the drill camps, and not ready
for service. During the Civil War the
Federal Government passed such law.
after it was found that volunteers did
not come to the front in sufficient num-
bers. After the first year the COnfed-
crate Government also passed law
colScripting all white males between
81. nd FORTY five
years. But, it was almost too late to
he of permanent value to the COnfed-
crates. Both governments recognized
the necessity of conscripting-comp
ling all who were physically able to dc
so to 20 into the army. But neither
seemed 10 think it necessary at the be.
ginning CT hosti.ities. Statesmen
should learn from experience, for ex
periencc is Tut past history.

Down in DeSoto Parish. as i'll Bos-
sier Parish, the Congressional race mas
warmed UP. greatly due to the fact
that that parish has long been known
as Watkins stronghold. Several
local politicians have attempted to III

kins, advancing sundry charges that
don't HOLLAND this largely due to the
stauncb support of Mr.. J. H. Hewitt.
long the editor of the Mansfield Jour
nal AS these fellows stick up their
heads to attempt to belittle the Judge.
Editor Hewitt promptly brings their
charges to naught through the medium
of his paper.
The Judge has been charged with
not supporting the war measures OF
the Wilson administration. But the
telegram from Hon. Claude kitchin.
Democratic leader in the national
House of Representatives, promptly
diSproved that. What Mr.. kitchin had
to say about Judge Watkins was very
complimentary However down in
DeSotO Parish the cheap politicians
here and there have not as yet let up
Oh that charge. it would seem. So in
an advertisement of length in the last
issue Of the journal. signed by Editor
Hewitt, he again goes after these fell
lows. And now the perspective as
sumeS different angle. Here in Bos-
Sier Parish that is not necessary.
Every well Informed person knows
Judge Watkins has in the past, and is
now, impartially giving support to all
worthy war measures coming up for
consideration at the national capital.
But Editor Hewitt goes further toward
enlightening the benighted few within
the jurisdiction of the journal and
calls their attention to other services
to the people rendered by Judge Wat
kins. In one paragraph he says:
When the Committee Oh Agricult
ure proposed to fix the price of cotton
ut 70 cents. AS a war measure, it was
Congressman Watkins and only five
others. who prevented its favorable re-
port, and Ivy that act he has saved our
farmers about 500 on every bale of
cotton, for they are getting more than
33h cents per pound for their cotton,
instead of 70 cents: and it is solid
millions of dollars in our farmers
pockets, was largely. if not entirely
the work Of Congressman Watkins"
We are for Judge Watkins in this
race because we have always believed
him to he Il good mainly which we
mean a good man for the place. He
gives most concern to the interests of
| the whole people, and always has. 1t
| is easy to criticisc. easy to suggest
what might have been done, but the
man who criticiSes gets different
| bunch and Il changed opinion of his
| prcwesS when he is at last pushed
forward by the public and is put
through the grill. AS might lie es-
rccted by the thinking man, the sue
ccssful accomplishment of sectional
legislation at Washington is fraught
with its many reverses aud the hottest
kind of oppoSitic.l. in this direction
there are many of us who know that
Judge Watkins has done his duty by
the people-and he knows it better
than any of us. for he is the man Oh
the ground, and untiringly at the
wheel" If this was not true we he
lieye the Judge would not again Offer
fer reelection. and that's one reason
why we are giving him our unqualified
support.

= The Machine Candidate.

From the New Orleans Item
The country. in its present temper
will give at least three to one against
Mr.. Gay. 1t did that in the case of
Mr.. Moutons first primary, when he
was elected Lieutenant Governor as
the city machine candidate. Nothing
but the majority the machine gave him
here saved him for the second. On the
face of these figures, the effort of the
city machine t. put Mr.. Gay across is
hopeleSsly beaten. The man who
worked out the scheme did not figure
on the resentment his effort at autoc-
racy would arouse in the country.
The most any machine candidate in
New Orleans can hope for is about
two to enc of the 10000 or so votes.
MIR. Gay will get somewhere between
One-half of this 10000 and two-thirds
of it-nearer to the half than the
twO-thirds.
MIR. Hall will get the other half or
the other third here. and he will get
in the second primary about three
quarters or more of that 10000 out iii
the country. Goodnight, Mr.. Gay.
