German KuItur
Not a New Thing

''Every village they have passed
through has been the victim of what
is only organized pillage. Every city
has been practically sacked, ransack-
ed on system; its citizens plundered,
it's civil officials terrorized, imprison-
ed, outraged or killed. The civil
populations have been, contrary to
the usage of modern warfare, forced
to serve the invading armies, brutally
put to death, reduced to wholesale
starvation and desolation. Vast
tracts of the richest and most in
dustrious districts Of Europe have
been deliberately stripped at>a plung-
ed into famine, solely in order that
the invaders might make war cheaply.
Irregular troops, contrary to all the
practice of war, have been sys-
tematically murdered, and civil popu-
lations indiscriminately massacred,
solely to spread terror. A regular sys-
tenn of ingenious terrorism has been
directed against civilians, as horrible
as anything in the history of civil or
religious wars. Large and populous
cities have been, not once, but 20, 80,
40 times, bombarded and burnt, and
the women and children in them
wantonly slaughtered with the sole
object of inficting suffering. All
this has been done not in license or
passion, but by the calculating feroc-
ity of scientific soldiers"
The above was not written
though it might have been-yester-
day, last week, last month, or last
year. 1t appeared in the English
Fortnightly Review, February 1871,
shortly before the surrender of Paris.
Frederick Harrison, the writer, is still
alive Its statements were true then,
are true now Julius Caesar in his
Commentaries narrates events which
show that even before the time of
Chri1t the Germans demonstrated the
possession of all the rudiments of
their modern ''kultur." It is no new
thing; and hundreds of thousands of
men will have died in vain in this war
if this sinister thing is not absolutely
and utterly exterminated forever by
the forces of civilization arrayed
against it.

Death of Major Armand Romain.

The Chief shares in the deep re-
gre5 prevalent among very extensive
circle of relatives and friends because
Of the del-h of Major Armskd Ro-
main Of New Orleans, who passed
away at his home in that city on Mon
.day, the 18th inst., after painful i'll
ness Of several weeks From Intestinal
trouble. Major Roman was pron1i-
nent and successful lawyer, speaker
Of marked eloquence and force, and
possessed m attractive per- tnality
and genial disposition that gained
him the admiration and warm friend
ship of all with whom he was thrown
into close association. He was born
in New Orleans in 1871, graduated
from the academic department OF
Tulane University in 1890 and two
years later finished the law course in
the same institution. Elected to the
lower house of the general assembly
on the Citizens League ticket in the
Foster-Pharr campaign of 1896, he
voted to go behind the returns which
gave the election to Gov. Foster, and
from that time forward the young
legislator acted with the Republican
party. He was commissioned by
President Mckinley as major of a
regiment of immunes and saw active
service in Cuba during the Spanish.
American war, filling the position OF
military governor of the province OF
Songo for short time. At the last
national. Republican convention ne
was chosen national committeeman
for Louisiana, an Indication of his
high standing in the councils of his
party. His charming and accom-
plished wife, born Miss Jessica Cole
man, died ten years ago, leaving two
handsome and promising sons, Cole
man and Victor Roman, who survive
their father. There also survive him
his venerable mother and two sisters,
Mrs. H. S. Chenet and Miss Louise
|'Romain. Major Romain was a Ma.
son and his funeral was conducted
under the auspices of his Masonic
lodge.

Hang the Traitors r Says

Prompt hanging. Of those who raise
"a seditious or traitorous voice" was
the remedy proposed by Representa-
tive Julis Kahn Of California in an ad-
dress at New York Monday. I'VE must
make an example Of these people and
do it quickly" he said. "The man in
this country who denounces this war
today, with his country in the war var
has no business on American soil.
The man who refuses to contribute a
dollar to buy Liberty Bonds and sup
port our boys in the army, in my hum
Bic judgment, is traitor to our coun-
try. If my boy and your boy are
willing to die for our country and a
man without boy closes his pocket
book and will not give, he should pc
whipped out of the country by the
scourge of public opinion"

."Madame Who.

This seven-reel Paralta production,
which the Grand will present Tues
day, must be added to the list Of sue
cessful civil war stories. 1t contains
plenty of plotl-nd action, as might be
expected, and in addition has been
given very careful attention in the
matter of settings, costuming, char
acterizations and the further details
that make for an atmosphere in keep
ing with the times depicted. The
final reel portrays in a graphic way
the evacuation and fall Of Richmond.
This shows the thrills and excitement
of warfare as it was waged in the
'60s, and even in contrast with mod
ern methods it rises to great dramatic
heights. Bessie Barriscale is cast in
the leading role, and gives a convince
ing portrait of a sensitive, high-bred
southern girl who matches her wits
with the men of the government Sc
cret service.

MADAME Jealousy"

The fact that George V. Hobart,
author of Experience" and other
celebrated allegorical plays, wrote
madame Jealousy" and that beauti-
full Pauline Frederick plays the title
role, should be sufficient to make
everybody in town wish to see thas
gripping picture, which will be shown
at at the Grand Monday. The entire
cast is made up of symbolical figures
such as "Charm," "Treachery," "Jeal-
ousy" herself and "Valor," the hero.
A perfect romance is carried to
happy close, the characters all por-
traying the emotions for which they
are named. Jealousy tries to IN
terrupt love affair between Charm
and Valor, and failing in that, brings
her servants, Treachery, Mischief,
Rumor and Sorrow, to them after the
wedding. How baby which comes
into the lives Of Charm and Valor
succeeds in bringing about peace and
happiness, dri-:ng Jealousy away for
ever, makes an exceedingly interest
ing story. Thomas Meighan. Frank
Losce, Elsie McCloud and other play
ers Of note appear in the production.

romantic drama, "Richelieu," the
sight-part pRotoplay, THE [11!,,:a.s, Cross A
Brady with Montagu Love as Cardinal
Mercier, of Belgium, proves to be a
picture of considerable significance.
The plot does not follow any OF the
actual events in the life Of the vener-
able and devoted head of the Catholic
faith in the devastated land OF
Belgium. 1t uses the present war
merely as a background for a love

OPEN SEASON ON HOARDERS.
go Cunning for Thsm," Urges Food
Administrator; ''No Bag Limit"

The great battle going on in
Europe, and the dread of long Ameri-
4an casualty lists to come, has arous-
ed the people to the sacred duty of
sending food to the soldiers and those
fighting with them to prey1nt the
world from becoming the slssve pen of
the kaiser.
The United States Food Admins
tration has ordered tightening of
the -four regulations, and other food
conservation measures, all along the
line. Flour especially must be saw
ed. Consumption at home must be
cut downsso that famine will not be-
come the next powerful weapon of
the Huns. Neither excuses nor eva
sions will be permitted, and the peo-
pie themselves will see that no guilty
man or woman will escape. There is
proof of this sentiment in the i'm
mense number of reports and pledges
coming voluntarily into the Office Of
John M. Parker, food administrator
for Louisiana.

ministration will furnish the ammuni-
ton. And the United States courts

guilty Of boarding. Congress has
passed law, providing for their
punishment. The law viii be carried

chinery is; being organized for sur
vey of the -four supply Of the entire
country, III homes and stores as well
as mills and warehouses. The survey
will require every individual to give
an account of the -four on hand upon

ministration will not be disposed to
act harshly with individuals who vol
