Speeding of American Troop Move

Washington, April 8. = Figures
reaching here as to allied losses in the
bitter days just closed in Picardy in
dicate that British and French casual
ties have been unexpectedly light in
view of the scope of the action. One
estimate heard, although its accura-
cy is open to doubt, fixes the total,
including prisoners, at between 1885,
coo and 10000 fer the twelve days
Of ceaseIess battle along a fifty-tive
mile front. This is to be compared,
with French estimates of $50, 900 to
100000 Germans killed, wounded or
captured during the same period. The
bulk of the German losses were dead
and wounded men, as there have
been no claims of the allies Of hav-
ing captured any great number OF
the enemy, although some thousands
undoubtedly were taken.
Wilson Takes Up Troop Movement.
Speeding up Of American troop
movements to France is engrossing
attention here now. President Will
son held his weekly conference with
the heads Of the war-making and pro-
duction branches of the government
today, and it is understood that ways
and means for throwing the full re-
sources of the United States into
the conflict this year were talked
over.
One immediate step 60 that end is
known to be in contemplation. It has
to do with the calling Of the 100000
men which it already has been an
nounced will be mobilized through
the selective service machinery dur
ing the year. Assurances have been
given that no great Withdrawals OF
men from agricultural and industrial
life would be made at ore time, but
the indications are that a statement
now being prepared regarding the
number Of men to be called under
the plan will show that larger force
will be mobilized this month than had
been intended before the German
drive altered conditions abroad.
Required Transporta sion In Sight.
The means Of housing ard training
the men are rapidly becoming avail
able, and the movements TO France
have already been greatly accelerat-
ed. It was learned authOritatively
that with additional British troop
ships available, the war department
now has in sight transportation and
supplies for all men, it plans to send
under it's constantly quickening pro-
gram.
From now on, the proportion Of
fighting troops in General Pershing's
army will increase rapidly. Here
tofore, the extensive scale on which
preparations were being made in
France has demanded the sending of
special units and technical troops at
rate out Of all proportion to the
fighting units which were also moving
Probably so per cent of the force III
France up to short time ago, were
troops of this character.

their class"
A return game will be played To-
morrow, Sunday, April 7th, at the
College Park, in this city, and good

SAVE THE HOG.

The hog, formerly that very un-
popular animal, haS come Inlo such
demand until he is now priced as
valuable asset to any one lucky
enough to posses specimen
The Government demands that
we grow hogs, hogs and more hogs.
The State of Mississippi has been
asked to increase her hog produc-
ton thirty per cent this year. From
a patriotic duty as well as from fin
nancial standpoint to ourselves at
this tine we should use every menas
to grow more hogs, and, last, but
not least, to care for these we now
have on hand. The latter may be
done by vaccinating against cholera,
killing lice, destroying the worms and
feeding the hog enough to keep 1t
in thrifty condition.
Ii YOU have q veterinarian to vacci-
nate your hogs for cholera beware of
letting him charge you three or tour
prices for the serum. The serum can
be obtained for l IA to / IL cent
per cubic centimeter. If you would
like to have the work done here In
the county 1 am here to do the work
Of this KIND. The only expense at
tached to the work when l do 1t, is
the actual expense ofthe serum. The
expense of the hog depends upon the
size of the hog.
From the following you can fig
ure just What it will cost you 10
have your hog vaccinated. The dose
fer the serum alone method is the
following:
10 C. c. for all under 80 lbs VT,

MASS OF DEAD MOSQUITOES.

According to report received
from Captain Peter Clarisse, light
house keeper at Ship Island, a solld
mass of dead mosquitoes, three feet
wide and Of indefinite length, has
been formed on the island, the dead
insects coming from the Louisiana
marshes, upon which hundreds of bill
lions have been destroyed by men en-
gagged in burning the marsh. Mos
auitoes in the Gulf coast section
have been worse Tor this time of the
year than in previous years on ac-
count of the fact that they have been
driven out from their places of re-
