needed manpoWer, in, the fields and
elsewhere. The harvesting season is
almost at hand. Our crops must be
housed to keep the wolf from the
door. 1t seems almost impossible in
this beautiful and fair land of ours,
surrounded on every side by natures
beautiful promise. to torture the mind
into %picturing the real conditions of
the world. But, my friends, the sit
uation grows tenser and tenser as the
days pass by and we have to do
thing and do it quickly to relieve the
situation.
What is best to do, how it is best
to be done, are the questions that you
are summoned here today to answer.
What are we going to do about it?
Now, gentlemen, with your kind
permission, it may not be improper for
me to lead off by giving you an out
line of my views. Our government is
in no ways to blame for this world
wide conflict. It was forced into it
after the exercise of the tmost pa
tienee. They took up the sword on
ly when it was forced into their hands
to protect the national honor and
life. The taking of the manpower for
war purposes under the conditions
existing is absolutely unavoidable
it is a national necessity. 1t is a
measure of self-preservation. Our ma
tional liberty and life are at stake.
We have got to face the music. Now,
how can this be done9
My friends,l think we can meet the
issue fairly and squareIy by revising
cur mthods. By adopting an eff
method; by elimination of use
less work; by conservation of wasted
forces; by employing forces hereto
fore idle.
This a best be accomplished
with the advice and cooperation of
men Of experience and expert know1-
edge in such matters and in this we
are happy to have near at hand Mr..
eral director in employment for the
state of Louisiana. Let US form a
small live organization which will
get in touch with these gentlemen.

On the last Saturday of July a

This is an important move on the
part of the council Of defense, the
objects and purposes being to Sc
cure full and complete information
as to the number of people residing
within the bounds of st. Landry; find
out what industrial endeavor each
one is following and what, if any,
contributions were made by each in
dividua1 to the several war activities.
It is well understood that there are
no Interior motives in this action
taken by the council of defense, but
the move is strictly in keeping with
similar activities in every political
subdivision of the nation. The tax
ing of this census will place in the
hands of the defense council much.

formation will be based perhaps
future orders and regulations which
the council might find necessary.
It is hoped that no undue difficulties

the census and before the date set
arrives all machinery of action will
be in thorough working order and
should operate as smoothly as a
