Washington, Dec. 10.-President Will
son has issued a proclamation calling
on every American to join the Ameri-
can Red Cross during Christmas roll
call week, December 10 to %, "and
thus send forth to the whole human
family the Christmas greeting for

in greatest need"
The signing Of the roll and the pay
ment Of One dollar is all that Is neces-
sary to become a member Of the Red

sands Of persons will want to sign the
roll many times, paying the member
ship fee each time. 1t Is these gener-
u persons that the Red Cross Is anx-
ious to restrain. The roll call Is not
a drive for funds. 1t is a campaign
for members. In this connection, the
slogan Of the drive Is to be: "One sig
nature and n dollar"

WORK OF NAVY
DANIELS DECLARES FLEET HAS
BIG TASK AHEAD.
Secretary Says v. S. Did Not Lose
Single East Bound Troopship
During the War.

Washington, Dec. 10.-With a story
Of brilliant achievements of the Amer
lean navy In the war, Secretary Dan
iels couples, In his annual report, an
urgent recommendation for continued
naval expansion to meet the demands
of peace for national and i%nternatiOn-
al work on the sea.
Through nearly all of the IA print
ed pages the secretary tells In brief
phrases Of the navy's part in the war,
Of the doing of the seemingly impos-
sible through team work.
He spoke of the mighty accom-
plishment Of transporting 100000
men TO France without the loss Of an
east-bound troopship through enemy
action.
n reference 10 the future con
cludes the report:
"Navies Will still be needed as an
international police force to com
pei compliance with the decree of
an international tribunal which will
be set up TO decide differences be-
tween nations. Naval vessels will
have large peace tasks Of survey
and discovery and protection In ad-
dition to police duty of al interna-
tional as well as Of a national char
acter.
"Inasmuch as the United States
Is the richest Of the great nations
and has suffered less I'm war than
any of the allied powers, 1t will de-
volve upon this country to make q
contribution to the navy TO pre-
serve the peace of the world COM
mensurate with It's wealth, its com
merce, It's growing and expanding mer-
chant marine and its leadership in
the council Of free people.
Mr.. Daniels shows that the new
5000, 600, 900 three-year building pro-
gram he has proposed will provide
1876 additional naval ships, ten of
them dreadnaughts and six battle
cruisers, and the others to be in such
distribution OF approved types as the
department may deem best.
Taking up his story Of the navy
and the war, the secretary declares
the service was ready from stem to
stern" when the United States en-
tered the conflict.
Teamwork has been the navy's slO-
gan for FIVE years.
Writing with pride Of the record OF
the marine brigade In France. the Sec
rotary shows that with only 5000 men
Of the corps engaged, the casualties
numbered 80 officers and 1851 men
dead, Is officers and 1854 seriously
wounded, while but 81 marines are re-
ported officially as captured by the en-
envy, illustrating the desperate char
acter Of the fighting in which the bril-
gade participated, and the fact that
It was always advancing.

Recommend Citizens
Committee for Roads

FrNr
The advisory committee, recently
appointed by the police jury to as
sist on the details of plans for build
ing the half million dollars worth Of
good roads, has recommended to the
police jury that they avail them
selves Of the provisions of the state
laws and have supervisory commit
tee of taxpayers to assist in looking
after the road building. Following
is copy of the report, signed by j.
K. johnson and w J. AFFORD of the
committee.
We, your committee appointed to
advise with the police jury with ref
erence to the construction Of roads
in the parish, beg to state and advise
that after thought and discussion we
are Of the opinion that it is to he
best interest of all concerned, and
that we believe that the most prac-
ticai and business-like way to con-
struct Of system of good roads in
the parish is for the police jury to
avail itself Of the provisions of sec
ton 4, Act SO Of 1916, whereby a
supervisory committee Of taxpayers
shall be created as the agents of the
police jury.
+ The affairs of the parish have
grown to such proportions, encum-
,bered with so many details, and the
time allotted to police juries Of this
state under the law in which to hold
their meetings viii not permit the
police jury to devote its undivided
attention at any of its meetings to
the subject of road construction.
The wide range Of affairs pertain
ing to the business of the parish,
which the police jury is compelled to
consider and attend to at all its meet
ings, makes it impossible for your
said body to give the thought and
study to the method and manner Of
the roads, as well as to-
Supervise such construction.
For these reasons we have come to-
the conclusion that the recommends
tion herein above made will work for
the best interest of the taxpayers
and the parish as whole.
We find that this plan Of road con-
vtruction has been and is being tried
out in the other parishes in this state
with very satisfactory results.
