LOOKING AHEAD.

In the minds Of the citizens Of de-
mocracy the idea that service is due
to the government from every one
must be firmly implanted or the en-
franchised cease to be representative
of such government.
The selective draft answers the pur-
pose Of this service, from a military
standpoint, during the war we are at
present engaged in, but largely be-
cause Of the fact that we have time to
prepare while our allies combat the
enemy. We must lock to the future
and the possibilities Of war declared
upon us when we will have no ally.
Should this occur selectiye conscrip-
ton would be Of no avail. Accepting
the. fact that the citizen OF a democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is it not logical that we should
organize this service, which shall be
trained and equipped for an emergen-
cy and able to act Immediately as a
perfect machine when the necessity
arises? Few citizens but believe that
universal military training is absolute
" necessary to the future safety Of
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first Opportune moment.
The speeding up Of our plans to win
this war should in no way be inter-
fered with, and future policies must
be held in check that they may not in
terfere with the winning OF this war.
But when our legislators feel that the
speeding up Of the war is accomplish
ed a bill should be passed creating a
system Of universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for our country's defense in the fu-
fure, thereby assuring us against the
disaster Of an attack which would find
us unprepared and completely at the
mercy OF an organized foe.

Another Big Game Sche.
d.lled For Sunday
Emergency Fleet Corporation.
will Tang!e Again With
The Franklin Stars

Hostilities from which temporary
recess was taken last Sunday, will be
resumed next Sunday The enemy
for this battle will be the Franklin
Stars. These warriors are well
known 70 Morgan City fans as they
participated in the fray Of two weeks
ago. At that time they demonstrate
ed they were some fighters. Only
by the most valiant tactics were the
local boys able to vanquish this
band. Remembering this, large
crowd will undoubtedly desire to see
the visitors try to stage a comeback.
General Vega Of the army Of de-
Tense is all set to repel the invaders
and he stoutly maintains that the
enemy is going to find the going
hard when they start their counter
attack Sunday.
The undefeated record of the
Fleets had narrow squeak least
Sunday and they say they will take
all due precautionary measures to
see that it doesn't happen again. The
attack will be started early and all
captured ground will not be so loose
ly protected as was the ease last Sum
day.
The Franklin bunch claim they
h01
ments and that they are going to
spring surprise in the camp Of the
Shipbuilders. At any rate the local
fighters are going to need all the cup
port they can get from the "loyal."
So be as near the front line trench
es as possible next Sunday-the
fighting "over here" is going to be
good.

THIRD DAY OF THE CHAU-
TAUQUA

All performances were held in the
tent yesterday and large attend
ance greeted both programs. On &C
count of the grass, the mosquitoes
were out in full force last night but
otherwise conditions under the can
vass were very pleasant.
Both entertainments presented by
the Montague Light Opera Singers
were hugely enjoyed. They possess
voices Of unusual quality and power
and their selections covered suffi-
cient range to please all who heard
them.
The address Of VIM. Forkell at the
afternoons performance was master
~ and full of power. He demon
strated to his audience ability as an
orator Of the first rank. The ad-
dress concerned present day prob
lens expressed in words demonstrate
ing high thoughts and unusual pow
ers of expression.
In the evening Mr.. Forkell made
a short talk during the intermission
of the concert company. He appeal
ed to the citizens Of Morgan City to
give their usual full-measured sup
port to the coming Red Cross drive
for funds. He said that we as ma
ton had thus far suffered but little
by reason of the war. True we have
had our meatless and wheatless and
fuelless days but as recompense we
are some day going to experience the
greatest '1ess day" of them ala
KAISERLESS DAY!
The children's hour is being con-
Quoted this morning and the children
are taking a great deal of interest
in these sessions, as is evidenced by
their large attendance. This after
noon the Christine Giles Company is
giving a recital in CONJUNCTION with a
lecture by detective Harry J. Loose
Of the Chicago police force In the
evening the concert company will di
vide honors with Mr.. Ralph Bing-
ham, a humorist of countrywide rep
utation.

VIC ulC
We have just held great naval and
military meet at Madison Square Gar
den, where a large SUN was raised for
this remarkable unit, which has sailed
to do such valuable work in France.
Every person in it, even to the plumb
ers and mechanics, are women, and
they volunteered for dangerous service.
Other branches of our war service
have been an intensive food conServa-
ton campaign and the War-Savings
Stamps campaign. In all this active
patriotic work we feel inspired with
the thought Of our own chairman,
Mrs. Norman der. Whitehouse, abroad
on an important government mission
and many others Of the rank and file
Of our women who are engaged in de-
voted service "Over there"
Citizenship Schools.
Another interesting branch Of our
work is the great university extension
of citizenship. Schools are being held
throughout the state under our Educa-
tiOnal Committee.
Another line of work is that Of our
Intelligence Committee, which lists Of
ficials of all political parties and all
men in every township and county In
the state who have run or are to run
for office. It is believed this commit
tee will become extremely intelligent
as time goes on, and its intelligence
will react on the civic welfare Of the
state most tellingly.
Our Americanization Committee has
issued some very effective and educa-
tional literature and is organizing in
every center and community where
there are foreign groups.
Maintaining Morale.
We realize that great part Of ma
TONS war time efficieicy is in keeping
life normal and efficient at home. In
the last analysis that nation which
keeps most nearly steady and normal
in its industrial and domestic life will
maintain that morale which will win
the war for it.
The work of the Rural Problems
Committee perhaps is Of particular in
terest in this publication which is be-
ing sent out by the National Security
League. Very few people in the coun-
try have stopped to realize how in our
body polite the rural committees are
disseminated against IN the matter of
socializing forces. Our great cities
have their amusements, their munich
pal halls and baths, their community
kitchens, their public libraries and lee
ture courses and innumerable settle
ments and clubs where people are
drawn together and stimulated n'en-
tally and spiritually. We feel that
some Of these advantages should be
brought to the country districts.
ANY rural woman who wants to be
nut In touch with our legislative bull
letin, with our correspondence courses
in civic education or any information
in reference to the work of the Wo-
man Suffrage party should write to
that organization at BOB Fifth avenue.

"LET US HAVE PEACE"

A monster is slowly raising its head
throughout this country which, unless
beaten down Immediately, will become
the most dangerous enemy that the
cause of civilization has yet been
called upon t, face. This evil that
threatens is to be found in the desire
for peace at whatever cost. 1t is the
old peace at any price" canker raised
to the Nth power.
1t is easy to dispose Of this, as vet
furtive hut steadily increasing, desire
for peace by pinning to it the label OF
German propaganda. But this will not
suffice.
That the world is war weary is only
too true. France and England have
had this blood sickness on the part OF
their people to contend with for long
time. Its effect on Russia has been
demonstrated.
We, in America, have but COM
menced our share of suffering and sac
rifice. If this revulsion Of feeling is
allowed to spread before the road is
half travelled there can be no doubt as
to our destination Open hostility to
England, frank sympathy with Ger
many, conscientious" or other ObJec-
lions to war, are as nothing in their
effect upon our part in the struggle
and the destiny of the wOrld-which
now admittedly rests upon our shoul-
ders-compared to this desire for the
wars ending simply that peace may
reign. Peace today, with Germany un-
defeated. would be living menace to
America as nation and to every man,
woman and child who wish to continue
to be known as Americans.
