URGENT APPEAL Fer CLOTHING
Pitiful Plight of War Victims Neces-
states Prompt Response.

In response to an appeal for the re
lief o2Belgium refugees and suffer
erSEe American Red Cross has is.
sd Ia call for clothing of all kinds
to- sent 20 the unfortunate people
Of tNl country and northern France
and III designated the period be.
tween y Nril and Is as the time dur
ing whie the garments are to be
collected. The local Red Gross
branch has been requested to coop
crate in the undertaking and here
with submits the appeal to the chari-
table and generous citizens of this
community, urging them to respond
as literally as they may find possible
and, aboee all, quickly.
Contributions may" be sent to the
headquarters of the branch in the
Elks' Home, or will be called for if
desired.
This is perhaps the only opportu-
nifty the people of America will have
to help the brave and unfortunate
French and Belgians in this way.
Shipping space will be provided by
the United States government on
Belgian relief ships, which are per-
mitted to pass in safety through the
submarine zone, and this gives as
surance that the consignments will
not be confscated or destroyed by the
Germans.
Later on, when more Of our boys
have gone over, all the ship space will
be needed for supplies. England
cannot spare raw material, France
can give no more, so our great coun-
try is the only hope of these stricken
people.
"Babies haven't even rags to cover
them," says the appeal issued by the'
Red Cross. "The feeble, the old, the
young, the poor, even those who were
once rich and prosperous, all need
clothes. Garments of every descrip-
ton, worn but in good condition and
clean, are needed. Shoes, bedding of
any kind, and raw material which
100000 women of Belgium and
France, whose misery is increased by
enforced idkness, could make into
clothes-ev&ything will help, and it
you have no clothes to offer, small
gifts of money will be used in the
purchase of MATERIAL
Less than ten days are left, and
are begged not to put
off this appeal, but to go through their
stock of clothes TODAY and send
what they can spare of their plenty
for the desolated people of Belgium
and France.

COMMON END IN VIEW.

The Liberty Loan campaign anC
the war savings movement are ne
more rivals than the super-dread
naughts and the destroyers of oul
navy are rivals.
The Liberty Loan and war savings
stamps are two forms of the same
financial operation Of the United
States government. They were au-
tnorized by the same vote of congress
and are intended to supplement each
other. They are both of paramount
Importance to the financing OF the
war. The Liberty Loan campaign IS
intended primarily to obtain the many
billions of dollors necessary toward
paying the expenses of war and lend
ing to our allies.
The peculiar significance of the
war savings movement is to teach the
nation to save and to invest It's saw
ings in war savings stamps in order
that the government may not merely
get money, but spend this money fo1
the support of the army. 49,,
Successive Liberty Loan bonds will
be sold in campaigns at intervals.
The war savings campaign will last
throughout the year-no doubt until
the war is over. 1t aims at develop
ing habits of thrift that shall make
the sales of stamps cumulative: And
the person of limited means who IN
vests in a few war savings stamps
does his share as well as the wealthier
man who buys quantity Of Liberty
Loan bonds. Millions who could not
afford to invest in Liberty bonds will
be able and glad to help by investing
in war savings stamps. The two
campaigns are, in reality, but one
that of financing for victory.

visit last week from their son, Jullus,
whom they had not seen for, i've
years. The young man came nome
wearing the uniform of United

stitution he had received the degree
of B. S. the preceding June after
completing a four years course of
study. He was seeking a C. E. de-
gree and would have obtained it this
June, but laid aside his ambition in
this direction to join the colors and
fight for universal liberty After a
stay Of several days, he departed
Saturday night to rejoin his COM
mand, the 826th Aero Repair Squad
ron, which is presently stationed at
the temporary concentration camp at

Gives His Life for His Country.

1t is with profound regret the Chief
learns of the death in France, on the
3rd inst, of Arthur Folse, son of MIR.
and Mrs. Eugene Folse, OF Lauder
dale. The young man succumbed to
an attack of pneumonia, according to
the brief announcement contained in
delayed cablegram which reached
the family Friday morning. He en-
listed in the regular army at New Or
leans last summer, and was sent to
France only a few weeks ago. His
grief stricken parents and other mem
bers of the family have the sincerest
sympathy of the entire community in
their deep bereavement. Let them
derive consolation from the precious
knowledge that their boy proved true
to the highest traditions of the glori-
Gus nation which gave him birth, and
at the end laid down his life IN be-
half of the noblest cause for which
free men have ever fought and died.

A CALL TO PATRIOTIC SERVICE.
State and Nation Expects Every Wo-
man to Do Her Duty.

Mrs. Lydia Wickliffe Holmes, od
Baton Rouge chairman Of the wal
savings societies division Of the Wo.
mans Council Of National Defense
Louisiana division, has addressed the
following earnest appeal to the chair.
man Of the woman's w. S. S. organi.
zation in each parish Of the state:
The government is asking for q
report as to what progress we are
making in organizing war savings So
cieties. Please let me have a report
from you at once
'You will find appended the num-
ber of women who are organizing in
each parish. Where are the rest of
your commissioned officers? Women
whom Governor Pleasant commissions
ed to help register the women of Lou
lsiana must now form the corps of
commissioned officers who must carry
on this great states part in the war.
Louisiana's high standard must be
maintained. This organization is a
most important part of your war
work, carrying with it double duty:
the small loan to your government,
within the reach Of all; and the great
lesson of national and individual pa
triotic thrift-the future foundation
for a thriftless nation to build upon
for reconstruction days.
"Today your government is in ac-
tual need. You MUST forego the
luxuries. Go into military training,
you Of the second line of defense save
food and clothes, and sac@ice exces-
sive amusements to save life and
blood in the trench. Don't ask why.
Don't question any government plan.
We are all soldiers today; learn to
obey.
"Four American soldiers were
found asleep on sentinel duty and
ordered shot. What per cent of us
are asleep? If ordered shot I dom t
believe the remainder could bury us.
Remember Pershing's words at the
grave of Lafayette, Lafayette, we are

ment, I call you into service; organi-
cation service, for saving and lending.

DR.. Saunders, sWe are here
"The registration Of women by the
government was an inspiration; we
now know who you are and where you
live, and you who do your part, and
you who do not, and that record the
government will have.
'tIs it fair, | ask, for the few to
carry the burden of. the many? Is
that the spirit Of democracy? It
would not be permitted in autocracy.
There are two kinds of people today
those who help the government
and the others. The latter should be
regarded as suspicious characters, and

"Don't wait until your entire par
Eish is organized, but keep re posted
and in constant touch with the or
ganization work. Louisiana's ap-
portionment is 62l5 societies. That
carries with it thirty-seven million
dollars you must lend your govern
ment. You have no time to sleep"

SHAMROCK-N NORMAN DEAL OFF
Belle Alliance and Evan Hall Places
Not to Change Hands.

The deal involving the purchase of
the Shamrock Land and Planting
Company's Evan Hall plantation in
Ascension parish and Belle Alliance
place in upper Assumption by syn
dicate to be known as the A. w. Nor
man Planting and Manufacturing
Company, will not be put through, ac-
cording to report quoted in the last
issue of the Louisiana Planter. 1t is
said the company of which Mr.. Nor
man was to have been the head will
not be organized. More than likely
the Shamrock Company, which took
the places over from the Hibernia
Bank and Trust Company of New Or
leans, will operate them again this
season.
The reasons for Mr.. Norman's
withdrawal from the transaction are
not known, but it is reported they are
based upon the result of his examina-
ton of the sugarhouses on the prop
critics. The condition Of the Evan
Hall factory was found to be not as
good as had been supposed, so the
rumor goes, which would necessitate
the use of the Belle Alliance plant to
take off the crop grown on the two
places. Mr. Norman is said to have
considered that the Evan Hall mill is
better situated for development into
a large central refinery, and when he
found that his plans to this end would
have to be indefinitely deferred it is
asserted that he decided to give up
the idea of taking hold of the proper
