OUR SOLDIERS AFTER THE WAR.

An officer has asked the question: What will
become Of the OF army after the war?
Perhaps there be elements of uncertainty about
of the afterwar situation but there
slightest doubt that every American who has
served his country in the army, navy marine
during this awful will be treated royalty when he
leaves the service.
OF course the vast majority will return to the posi-
tons which they left when they enlisted In most
they will back their old places and doubt
less in many they will be given better posi-
lions recognition of their invaluable services.
Civil War veterans given special preference in
connection with all Of the number of
mental civilian positions available. and like preference

government and also by commercial of all kinds
Then, too. there will doubt shortly be formed a
huge national and perhaps international association of

GETTING TO THE FRONT.

There are so many soldiers the barracks and
cantonments who getting impatient at the long delay
they experience in getting the front They want to
go They want take part in the conflict waged for
humanity. They tired of camp life and want some
thing heroic They should be accommodated. The war
department should it. There is justice in
keeping good soldier twelve months in camp
over here. Three months is long enough to change
American boy fulfedged soldier and there ought

should that he gets there possible and

Olive Camp Pays Tribute to Memory
of Departed Sovereigns.

Monuments erected in the Catholic
cemetery over the graves of Robert
Fl. Landry and Frank Cannon, for
mer members of Olive Camp No. 18,
Woodmen of the World, were un-
yelled last Sunday afternoon with I'M
pressive ceremonies, in which a large
number of the members of the camp
participated. Assembling at the
forest in the Masonic Temple, the
Woodmen marched in body to the
sssssy where the solemn ritualist-
ys1s prescribed for such occasions
Gre carried out under the direction
Of the following officers: DR.. 2. e..
Thibodaux, master of ceremonies; !;
Aramis J. Melancon, consul com
.mander; Gordon Gisclard, adviser
lieutenant; Nicholas Eris, banker;
j. C. Bouchereau, clerk; Joseph
Guedry, escort; F. j. Michel, captain;
Eloi Dugas, sentry; Euclid Roger,
Watchman.
The memory of Sovereign Landry
was eloquently eulogized by Walter
Lemann, and a feeling tribute to
Sovereign Cannon was offered by
Joseph N. Gisclard. Other features
of the program at both graves were
recitations, "He Sleeps by Miss
Matte Gisclard, and 'sWhy Should
the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud?" by
Miss Matte Comstock, and the sing
ing Of "Nearer My God to Thee and

In addition to the Woodmen, "a
number of relatives and friends of
the lamented sovereigns whose mem
ory was thus honored were present
to witness the exercises, and the
event was in every respect one Of the
most notable and impressive in the
annals of Olive Camp.

THE WAR SITUATION.

The great armies representing the
rival principles of democracy and au.
tocracy in national government aho
international relations are stuboorn'
w contending against each other III
Picardy and Flanders, where some OF
the bloodiest fighting of the war mas n,
taken place in the past seven weeks
with the decision still hanging IN the
balance.
Following their recent tremendous
drive, in which they forced both tne
English and French lines back 1o1
distances varying from five to thirty.
fva miles over a front of about
seventy miles, the German hosts
halted for a breathing spell and then
renewed their efforts to breaR
through the defenses of their an,
tagonists with the main ob]ectlVes ol
severing the junction between tne
British and French armies ana cap
turing the channel ports OF Dunk1fk
and Calais. The enemy achleVeo
some success in the Ypres region,
capturing KENNEL Hill after repeat
ed assaults in which their losses IN
killed and wounded were appalling
Int in the subsequent fighting the
Hun hordes have been more than heia
in their tracks by both the French
and British. Furious conflicts oc-
Cured on Monday in which the re,
pulse of the enemy was complete ana
their losses tremendous.
While this stemming of the Ieutoh
tide strengthens the hope that the
allied lines cannot be broken, 1t is
manifest that the crisis is not yet
passed and that we must look for
further desperate attempts OF the
enemy to achieve decision before
the strength of America can be fully
exerted in the struggle.
From the Associated Press account
of Tuesdays fighting the following Is
quoted: "a heavy German attack
launched against the Americans IN
the vicinity of Villers-Bretonneaux
was repulsed with heavy losses for
the enemy. The preliminary bonn
bardment by the Germans lasted two
hours and then the infantry rushed
forward only to be driven back,
leaving large numbers of dead on
the ground in front of the Amerl-
car, lines, The struggle, which lasted
a considerable time, was extremely
violent, and the Americans displayed
marked bravery throughout: It was
the first occasion in which the Amer
leans were engaged in the big battle
which had been raging since March
21, and their French comrades, are
full of praise for the manner in which
they conducted themselves under try
ing circumstances, especially in view
of the fact that they are fighting at
one of the most difficult points on the
battle front"
