CAMOUFLAGE

The Republicans tell us they
are the WAR Party" aud if they
were in charge they could WIN the
war 50 much more easily, swiftly
and nonorably than the Dcmo.
Gratis. They also assert that the
south is taking too big a part IN
governmental affair, aud the
pcnuy.a.luers are fighting the
civil war yet.
Now, a. matter of fact, the
Republican party was the war
party OF the 6O's, but most every.
body but the demagogue and
cheap politician had shown a
Willingness to forget that and
had forgotten tin the graver
pcrils OF the present As to the +
patriotic aud loyal feature Of the
present war, comparison OF the F.
two parties does not place the Re
publications IN an enyiable light
A reference to the record in con-
grcss Is sufficient to contravcrt
the proud boast Of the Re
publicans, If the magnificent
accomplishments of America in
this war are entirely overlooked
accomplishments that meet the
approval OF our allies and show
that we are far ahead of our
schedule in the furnishing OF men,
munitions aud ships.
Reference to this record is made
because that record shows that
the house aud senate contained
members OF both parties opposed
to war, and not only opposed to
war, but men who did much to
hinder the administration in the
prosecution Of the war, The
summer and fall primaries, then,
put the record of these men
squarcly up to the people on a
question Of loyalty, with the re-
suit that every Democrat who had
taken an active part against war
measures, save one, was defeated
for denomination; while more than
fifty Republicans disloyal in
speech aud action, have been re-.
nominated by the Republican
party.
The difficulty with the Repub-
lican party is that it lives in the
past, IL thriyes upon the glories
OF the 6O's aud is not properly i'm
pressed with the bigger things OF
the present. Its big men Lin.
coin, Seward, Chase, Conkling,
Blaine are all dead, and the Re-
publican party is, therefore, like
"A hill of potatoes the best part

on the days chart that is put before me.
 So as a matter of news for you, my dear ones. you must be told that am constantly in good spirits. My morale is excellent. If my mind does enter tain sadness. l strive not to tell it. If my arms do ache for my boy and my girl. I gesticulste them in illustration of line of merry quips for some poor fellow helpless on his back.
 While, then. my patriotism Is ex- emplified in this work. it has proved of the greatest value to me. What learn in the medical reserve corps of our great army will be of untold worth to my future. It will teach mo occur ence and discipline and courage. Thesn qualities I shall endeavor to pass on to my children and to my friends.
 As I am taught, so are hundreds of thousands of others. These hundreds s of thousands returning to America, with the lessons well learned that have been taught over here will be a grent asset to our revived country. Gods hand is directing us as He has done before. ROSS c. SEER.

 In addition, the new owners of Bob Acres have petitioned the Louisiana conservation commission to set aside Lake Peigneu, adjoining the property, a noted resort for ducks during the win- ter months and they flock there by the hundreds of thousands.
 More than one-third of the land em- bracing Lake Piegneu is included in Bob Acres and owners of other property ad- joining have signified their desire to pro- hibt the shooting of wildfowl on the body of water.

DEFENDS SEIZURE OF SHIPS.
Great Britain Replies to Note Of
Netherlands Government.

LONDON, May 1.-The note of the
British government in reply to the last
Dutch note concerning the requisition-
ing of Dutch shipping gives detailed
survey of the abortive negotiations for
an amicable arrangement for the use
of Dutch shipping.
The note deals with the allegation
of the Netherlands government that
the measure taken only rests on force
and contends that the measure taken
was simply an exercise of the univers-
ally recognized right of sovereignty.
The note concludes with an express
sion of the hope that the explanations
given will remove from the mind of
the Netherlands government and the
Dutch people any misconceptions re-
garding the proceedings of the asso-
ciateds governments, and that it will
be realized that the latter have done
everything in their power to render
the action they were compelled to take,
and which, in their opinion. is fully
justified under international law, as
little injurious as possible to the
Netherlands interests.
