and st. Tammany.

Gov. ]. Y. Sanders was in Coving-
ton, Wednesday, whore he met his
friends and was heartily welcomed.
When asked about politics Mr.. San
ders laughed. Evidently the warm
support and hearty greeting h0 has
received everywhere has taken the
interest out of the campaign. He
did not seem 1t ill worried shout

his assurances were 20 strong from
every section that he did not feel
that It was right for him 70 take
time from his labors in other fields
and devote 1t to politics.
Mr.. Sanders said he would like
very much to meet and to thank his
many friends for what they had done
and were doing for him, and their
confidence In him should bo reward

NEWS NOTES OF
REDCROSS
AND THERE

New Orleans, Sept. 5.-An idea O!
the volume of work being done BY
women Red Cross members in Ala.
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana is
|given in the July repor. form the
fcutting and inspection center OF the
Gulf Division, headquarters in New
Orleans. Here are some o. the fig.
ures: Refugee garments. $1,000;
hospital garments, 16,46o, comfort
kits, 10000; surgical dressings for
base hospitals, 1880; dressings for
Evacuation hospitals, 10,15o; dress
ings for Italian commission. 7,15O;
for the army, $4,000. Total dress
idgs cut and inspected during July,
|302,65O.
The September allotment probably
will contain figures twice as large.
For example, it calls for $4,000 pairs
of pyjamas. The work at the di-
visional center is so heavy that the
services Of 200 workers are required.
One hundred negroes joined the
Richland chapter last month, and a
number of the monthly pledges are
paid by them. In the Gulf Division
of the Red Cross, it is figured there
are about ESQ negro auxiliaries with
"a membership of more than 100 900.
Eight thousand nurses must be en-
rolled for foreign service by October
1st, comes the word from Washing
ton.
That means a thousand must join
the Red Cross every week beginning
now! Louisiana and New Orleans
will be looked to for their share Of
that number.
Louisiana has enrolled 1875 nurses
ince June. Alabama has contribut-
d 55, Mississippi 46, making total
or the Gulf Division 296. Appli-
ations OF 50 more for the Division
are being considered in Washington,
and more than 900 have sent in their
first papers" but have taken no
further steps to get in.
Because of conditions which in
terfere with the carrying out OF the
desire, 1t is urged that all persons in
the Gulf Division of the American
Red Cross desist from asking that
particular articles be sent to specific
soldiers in service, abroad.

and unless other countries among our friends are prepared to supply us with them. inevitably the business eventu ally will revert to Germany"
 The committee has discovered that France, during the last fiscal year pre- vious to the outbreak of hostilities. imported machinery to the value of 431,000 900 francs. Germany headed the list of exporting countries in that commodity by a comfortable margin Then came Great Britain, Switzerland and the United States, in the order named
 The idea of the committee, as ex- pressed oy MT. Havy, it's secretary, is to intensity the production in the three latter countries in such ratio that with the German share of the importations disappearing from the French market, industry in France shall not suffer from lack of machinery.
 Before the war a large percentage of agricultural implements came from Germany. There is no reason in the world why the United States should not supply France with all of it's needs in that line" said Senator Mas curaud
 Tn exchange we shall attempt to furnish the United States with such merchandise as was formerly pur- chased in Germany and which is be- ing or could be manufactured in France he added
 Tn reply to query as to whether, in his opinion, Germany could be dis ! pensed with in the market for dyes and dyestuffs, Mir. Havy expressed i himself as confident that, with the recent discoveries in England and the experiences and wonderful improve ments achieved in the United States since the beginning of the war, Ger many could well be ignored when the matter of dyes was taken up. | All the secrets relating to the man. ufacture of these dyes were stolen from the United States, Great Britain and France originally said MT Havy.
 The same view, it is pointed out, could be taken with regard to surgi- cal instruments, chemical products and other commodities of which Ger many appeared to have more or less the monopoly before the war
 What will France do for beer?" asked the correspondent.
 It Is a matter of statistics that more than sixty per cent of the beer con- sumed in France in times of peace was Of German brew
 We have done without German beer since 1914 and I presume we can con- tnue. At any rate America is a great beer producing country replied Sena- tor Mascuraud.
 When we have Alsace- Lorraine back said MT Havy, i've can brew some there. The best German beel comes from there and not from Ba- varia or Bohemia
 Thus if the French soldier would have his German beer after the wal he must first conquer Alsace-Lorraine
