it was folly to believe there was
any loss of morale among German

prisoners he believed their morale
was the best in the German navy.

Benson also is said to have-t6if

had a deserted appearance in con.
trast to what it has been since the
camp was located here. Only a
few soldiers were to he seen on
the streets. The military police,
which has been doing duty in the
city, were even withdrawn.
Moving picture houses and Nau-
deville shows were all closed last

had been to the city for the last
time until the quarantine is raised.
One death was reported from
camp from Washington today.
All of those persons who were In

WANT PRISONERS FREED.

London. Jan. 2.-Radek, on be-
half of the Russian delegation,
according to the Russian official
news bureau. made the following
statement at a meeting with the
Austro- German delegates to dis

ton received. have been put int

be well founded the possibility IF

human work would be made
definitely more difficult. We

have an opportunity of under
standing the spirit which broke
the chain Of Russian citizens and
which regards prisoners Of war
as free men.
"We hope the members of the
Austro- German delegation will
make that situation known 70
their respective governments so
that suitable measures will DO
taken which will enable the rep
resentatives of this revolutionary
spirit to apply themselves with
complete confidence to the COM

WONDERFUL RESULTS
ACHIEVED.

Most of our natives know the fer
tility of the soil Of Iberia Parish,
but for the enlightenment Of out
siders, we take pleasure in show
ing what results were obtained on
four acres Of newly cleared wood
land by Mr.. Horace P. Gates. On
four acres of his tract on the
East Side Of New liberia which he
planted into Irish potatoes he sold
therefrom $500 worth of pota-
toes, receiving as much as $2.40
per bushel for the lot. After har-
vesting the crop the land was
then prepared for Mexican June
corn and $1,000 worth of rose
neers were sold on the market
here and he had left fifteen
barrels of corn for his trort
BILE. This should give land seek
ers an idea Of what can be done
in this section with our land. if
worked in a scientific manner.
and what was accomplished by
Mr.. Gates can be repeated by oth-
ers who work their lands with al
degree of intelligence. Of course
This was new land, but most any
lands in the Parish can be made
to do as well with a little fertiliz-
