WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. Seven
hours after hostilities ceased Presi-
dent Wilson by arrangement with the
allied Governments appeared before
Congress and announced the armis-
tice terms which had brought an end
to the greatest war in history.
Standing in the same place in
which he delivered his fateful war
message Of April ., 1917, which fore
shadowed Germany's doom the Presi-
dent proclaimed the end of the war
and the consummation OF Americas
purpose of entering the struggle.
In the last eighteen months the
President if,fs On numerous occasions
called On the nation to expend Its
energy without stint toward the goal
OF victory. To-day before Il wildly
excited gathering he announced that
this goal had been reached ana Out
lined the completeness Of the victory
achieved.
After stating amid frequent bursts
of applause the terms that had stripped
Germany of her power to disturb fur
ther the peace Of the world. terms
which were even more drastic than
had been generally expected, the Presi-
dent after n moments pause said
slowly and solemnly, while Legislators
and crowded gallery hung on his
words, "the war thus comes to an end"
This was the signal for one OF the
widest bursts OF cheering the big
chamber of the House had ever heard.
1t was a scene quite in contrast to
the solemn occasion nineteen months
ago when at a night session, with
crowds surrounding the Capitol an6

WHEN W1LL THE WAR ENp2

When, in the summer Of 1914, the German military machine,
thoroughly prepared and ready to encounter the world, began the
ccnflagration which has set the world on fire, predictions were made
that the war wouldn't last over six months. The world couldn't
stand it any longer, these misguided prophets said. Modern inven-
tons for killing men would so decimate the population that one or
the other Of the combatants would be forced to give up and come to
the others terms.
For more than fortysiX months the contest has ragged and the
end is not in sight yet. It is useless and foolish to speculate as to
how much longer 1T will continue. The best We can say is that it
is 4 fight TO the finish and neither side will give up until thoroughly
whipped and absolutely exhausted in man power and resources. So
long as that seems certain, the American people should center their
entire attention on the task at hand and resolve that nothing will
come between them and the ultimate victory which all desire. Vic
tory means the strengthening of American prestige in the world and
the absolute guarantee of our freedom and the freedom Of our
children through generations yet to come. Defeat would spell dis
aster and the possible disruption of the government and the impos-
ing on the necks OF our citizens the iron heel Of Prussian rule.
Recent reverses suffered by the allied armies fighting in France
eniy emphasize the absolute necessity of the American people grid
ing up their loins and preparing in a determined way to FIGHT this
war to a successful conclusion. Nothing else matters now but that

might survive and those who fall beneath death devastating stroke
are but martyrs for the canse of right. ~
~ It may require, and possibly will, the sacrifice Of hundreds OF
thousands Of brave American boys, but it is q sacrifice which must
be made if necessary in order to preserve the nation and all that the
nation stands for. War is not child play and all who enter as
soldiers of the common cause cannot escape unscathed. 1t is the
nrice " mnst nav for our future liberty and national integrity and
it is no more a price than France and England and Belgium and
Serbia and Italy have already paid and are willing to pay IN greater
measure as the struggle goes on.
Our transports, or some Of them, may fall victims of the enemy
submarines. Our brave boys may die on the fields of France or go
down beneath the waves. Our wealth may be poured out in a vast
and unending flow, but that and all that matters not-the war must

Of America would be a deadly virus in the veins Of free Americans

CATTLE ASSESSMENT
u i
STIRS Up some TALK
Mr.. cATLETTs RESOLUTION
VOTED DOWN 9 TO
Member from Fourth Ward Grows
Wrathy and D~enounces System
Allowing Stock to 90 untaxed

Last Monday proved to be a warm
day in the police jury. The subject
of assessments was the main feature
on the program for the June meeting
and Mr.. Catlett, the fighting member
from the old fourth ward, was on
hand cooked and primed and ready for
business and, according to a state
ment made to a representative of The
Clarion Wednesday evening, had pre-
pared himself with a full amount Of
information on the subject matter Of
assessing or n-on-assessing of cattle in
st. Landry parish.
Mr.. Catlett introduced a resolution
requiring each dipping vat inspector
to report to the police jury the num-
Der of cattle dipped at each vat and
the name of the owner of each lot of
stock SO treated, the object and pur-
pose of the resolution being to secure
a full and complete list OF the cattle
in the parish in order to place them
on the assessment rolls for the pur-
pose of taxation.
In arguing the advisability of adopt
ing his resolution, Mr.. Catlett stated
that in 1917 there were approximately
six thousand head Of cattle assessed;
that this year there were twelve thou
sand head on the rolls and that he had
been informed by the federal agent in
charge Of the parish's dipping watts
that over fifty thousand had already
been dipped and the work was not
hat completed.
The resolution was defeated on a
tie votes yeas to 5 nays, and Mr..
Catlett stated Wednesday evening
that the eight voting mo" evidently
had reason of their own for opposing
the adoption of the resolution. Mr..
Catlett said further that one member
from the fifth ward had said to him
(Catlett) that he 1.-THE member) had
not assessed any of his cattle and did
not intend doing SO unless the assess
or came to his home and took his as
sessment. This statement was made
to Mr. CatIett after the vote on the
resolution was taken.
Mr.. Catlett, in an impassioned
speech denounced the failure of any
person to give in a full and correct
assessment Of all his property, real
personal, and said that such tax
Stacker and dodger was swindling
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1918-06-08

himself, his children and the n
public, because Of the fact that on
account of a lack of money collected
as taxes the roads ana other public
utilities were not maintained properly
and that he (the tax dodger) could not
travel over them with any degree of
speed, etc.; that the public schools
were not as good as they should be
and that the parish government was
not able to give them the required
help because Of a shortage of funds;
that any member of the police jury,
or any citizen, failing to report others
who did not give in a full and correct
assessment were as guilty as the ones
failing to report their own. He said
that one OF his neighbors had had
assessed this year, in his wife's name,
one COW, one mule and n horse and
that he (Catlett) knew as a matter Of
fact this man owned five mules, one
horse and about eight or ten head Of
cattle.
All of the above is the substance Of
an interview had with Mr.. Catlett
Wednesday evening, and before leav-
ing the office of The Clarion he stat
ed that he was in the police jury
against his viii and because his peo-
pie wanted him to represent them in
that body; that every time he came
from his home in Rosa he experienced
an actual loss in money exclusive of
the three or four days spent here
away from his home work.
