.LOU|S|ANA'S NOBLESSE
ObLIGE.

Senator Guion has indicated the
position that every Louisiana voter
should adopt as matter of State
and National honor toward the
State woman Suffrage Amend
ment. 10 the great political bat
tie waged in Congress the Demo
cratic South was largely responsi
bic that at the present moment a
federal suffrage amendment does
not like sword of DamOcles hang
over this nation to rob us of that
fundamental principle the sover
eign right of the state to self gov.
erDment.
While the south has so far been
able to safeguard us from this mi
tIal step against federal amend
ment the southern states are
placed on the defensive to prove
that it is the state right principle
they are defending and not the in
dividual prejudice against woman
suffrage. We can honestly differ
with the President as to the neces
sity of federal woman suffrage
amendment as a war measure.
The President in presenting his
case, indicates that many may
deny its validity. But on the
score Of woman suffrage as a ques
ton of National Honor the Presi.
dent of the United States as Com
mander in Chief of the Army and
Navy has spoken in terms that
must appeal to the individual con
science of every man who trusts
his vision of what constitutes ma.
tiOnal honor.
"Says the President" If we in
deed be democrats and wish to
lead the world to democracy we
can ask other peoples to accept in
proof of our sincerity and our abil
ity to lead them whittier they wish
to be led nothing less persuasive
and convincing than our actions
Our profession will not suffice.
From the standpoint of National
honor woman suffrage has become
necessity. These words of the
President cOnclasively show that
until the states do adopt woman
suffrage the thing men are dying
to vindicate and establish abroad
does not exist at home. Louisiana
men are therefore under a noblesse

amendment November 5, support

tical faith in preserving woman suf.

|SLAVS STRIVE TO SAVE
BABIES FROM FAMINE
BY Henry Wood.
(United Press CORRESPONDENT. J

@.p5 Omitted #FTGSS SOTfGSpOHueut.)
Rome, Italy, Oct. 5. fBy Mail. -
Forty thousand babies from Austria's
famine stricken provinces Of Bo-
henia. Dalmatia, Herzegovina and
Istria are being fed and cared for by
the two more fortunate sister Slav
provinces Of Croatia and Slayonia. 81
Details Of this latest effort on the
part of the Slav provinces of Austria
to sustain each other until an allied
victory can insure them national
independence have just been received
by DIR. Ante Trumbio, who, repre-
senting the SlaY provinces OF Aus
tria, singed at Corfu on July 20,
E1917, the pact with Serbia providing
for single united Southern Slay
nation following the war.
Croatia and Slayonia rank as two
of the most fertile provinces of
Austria, and despite the ever increase
ing scarcity of food that exists
throughout the dual monarchy, these
two provinces continue to produce
more than they need. Through their
local diet they therefore proposed
Ito the Austrian-Hungarian govern
ment that they be allowed to succor
the OlIGT SldF piOFIACSs VI DoAcHAid,
Dalmatia, Herzegovina and Istria.
The only condition they demanded
was that in recognition of this they
be exempted from military requisi-
tion of their food products.
The proposition was turned down
by the Austrian Hungarian govern
ment, whereupon the two more for
tunate provinces of Croatia and
Slavonia began Immediately gather
ing together all the babies and little
children from the other provinces.
No distinction was made either on
religious grounds or grounds of di-
verse branches Of the Slav race The
children likewise were distributed
amongst the families of Croatia and
ESlavonia without religious or other
distinction Catholic children often
being taken into orthodox families
and vice versa All are now being
fed and educated towards the COM
mon end OF saving the greatest num-
Der possible Of the Southern .Slay
race, which has had the most dis
proportionate losses in the present
war, for the future independent Slav
state. . l5

TEUTON PRISONERS EXPECT
DISASTER: BELIEFS CHANGED
CONTINUED from Page one) I

They act like boys, now that re-
sponsibility has been taken from
them, and joke and sing as they are
brought back. They are glad to talk
about anything, except war, about
which they joke. "A
RThe principal interest of the Hun
garians in the pens" now is whether
or not they will be sent to America
until the war is over. All went to
go to America, most of them to stay.
They are never vindictive, and take
the war as a gambling proposition,
which they are about to lose. Har-
boring no hate themselves, these
Hungarians assume they will be well
come. and can find friends anywhere
but in Germany
German officers still maintain
their arrogant bearing, though when
they are frank enough to speak hon
estly their remarks show they are
weakening in their confidence. How
ever, they still seem r1ilitaristic. You
fall to find note of sympathy in
talking to them. Their overbearing
latitude prevents any understanding.
b The German soldier is a different
proposition entirely now. He has
given up that belief instilled in him
by officers that Germany is supreme.
His hatred of the military class In
Germany is marked, and he frankly
expresses his opinion now. The Ger
man soldier is exceptionally serious
in his conversation.
You are surprised at the under
standing he has of the war and of
4 - 4, e,f,I ia1 ictp ND
can back up his views with it. 1--WE
have looked to the people at home to
bring about a revolution and they
have looked to us at the front" he
tells you, neither of us can do any
thing now
The biggest delusion the soldier
carries with him, apparently, is as
to the purpose of the allies in the
war. Either he has not been allowed
to read allied statements or else he
does not accept them, for the Ger
man soldier thinks he is fighting a
defensive war to prevent the dividing
up of Germany among other nations.
Most Germans think they are go
ing to lose the war, but that they
must resist as long as possible. They
say they must accept their present
leaders, because there are none
among the people. Their attitude,
coupled with that of their officers,
shows that only defeat can influence
them. Comparison of the German
captured today with those taken a
year ago show that war is softening
morale.
