Evils. PsychoIoaicaI and Others

It is unfortunate that sometime ago when there were rumors of coal shortage, Dr. Garfield, the fuel administrator said that the shortage largely psychological It only something feared and the fear of might have the effect of making it substantial. The shortage is admittedly, not psychological not imaginary, any than the hundreds of smokeless chfmneys and the thousands of idle imaginary
 The statement that any evil or impending evil is psychological is the explanation of of the optmist calculated to remove fear, of the evil, but ii is that should not be offered if there is real ground for believing that the evil exists or impends. It does not then admit of psychological treatment
 We cannot say that the diagnosis of Dr. Garfield was then wrong. So far as he or any one else could there would necessarily be serious coal shortage. There only threatened strikes in the mines and way to settle them was being found. There indications that production would be heavier than usual Perhaps Dr. Garffelds estimate the much greater bunker coal fell short and it is possible that also his estimates of the needs of France and Italy should have been greater. But it might have been supposed by him that the increase in production would meet all these extraordinary de- mands
 But there was yet to intervene condition that for time would leave production no longer an i'm mediate factor. The only coal available would be that which in the bunkers or on the market. That became the situation and it was not a psycho- logical It could altered by mere thinking for it had not been produced by thinking.
 The moral of this is that in serious times it is not good to tell people that their troubles are psycho logical for r it that they are real they lose confidence in the cheerer-up.

PAYS GREAT TRIBUTE
Pershing Says the Soldiers Have Earned the Eternal Gratitude of Their

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-General John J. Pershing's account of his stewardship as commander of the American Expeditionary Forces has been given to the public by Secre- tary of War Newton D. Baker It is in the form of a preliminary re- port to the Secretary, covering opera tions up to Nov 20 after the Ger man collapse. It closes with these words from the leader of the great army in France, expressing his feel ing for those who served under him ::
 'I pay the supreme tribute to our officers and soldiers of the line When l think of their heroism, their patience under hardships, their un- flinching spirit of offensive action, l am filled with emotion which 1 am unable to express. Their deeds are immortal, and they have earned the eternal gratitude of our country"

Two new ideas are being put into effect by the City Council. one of which is to level tho streets of snow by scraper and the other is to have a team of horses ready for fire purposes, during such times as the snow may interfere with the op- eration of the heavy chemical auto mobile.
 Cash Coles team has been con tracted for and a barn will be con structed on the corner opposite the City Hall for housing the team. The contract made by the Street~C0m- mittee was to have been ratified at Council meeting last evening, but the only member of the Council who was present was Mayor Emery Val entine A. B.

Tight this war to finish" This is the message brought back from the front by Lieutenant Allan A. Tukey, just returned from the front and recovering from wounds re- cdved in action the day that the American Army began to break up the last big German drive. "The boys over there ask for nothing else, and they think Of nothing else. ex- cept to be permitted to finish the task for which they were sent abroad" said the lieutenant, who in spite of q painful wound on his leg acts and smiles as though he had been on a picnic.

the Allied lines which called for prompt use of the four American Di- visions that were at that time equal to any demands of battle action"
 The First Crisis
 The first crisis of the German drive had been reached in Picardy.
 "The crisis which this offensive developed was such," General Per shing says, that our occupation of an American sector must be post poned. On March 2S I placed at the disposal of Marshal Foch, who had been agreed upon as Commander-in- Chief of the Allied Armies, all of our forces to be used as he might decide. At his request the First Division was transferred from the Foul sector to a position in reserve at Chaumont en Vexin. As German superiority in numbers required prompt action, an agreement was reached at the Abbeville conference of the Allied premiers and com manders and myself on May ? by which British shipping was to trans port 10 American Divisions to the British Army area, where they were to be trained and equipped, and ad ditional British shipping was to be provided for as many divisions as possible for use elsewhere.
 Cantigny Captured
 "On April 26 the First Division had gone into the line in the Montdidier salient on the Picardy battle front Tactics had been suddenly revolu tionized to those of open warfare, and our men, confident of the results of their training, were eager for the test On the morning of May 2S this division attacked the command ing German position in it's front, talk ing with splendid dash the town of Cantigny and all other objectives which were organized and held stead fastly against vicious counter at tacks and galling artillery fire. Al though local, this brilliant action had an electrical effect, as it demon strated our fighting qualities under extreme battle conditions. and also that the enemys troops were not al together invincible."
 On the Marne
 "The Allies" General Pershing de clares, faced crisis equally as grave as that of the Picardy often sive in March. Again every avail able man was placed at Marshal Foch's disposal, and the Third Divis ion, which had just come from its preliminary training in the trenches was hurried to the Marne. It's mo torized machine-gun battalion pre- ceded the other uits and successful ly held the bridgehead at the Marne opposite Chateau-Thierry. The Sec ond Division, in reserve at Montdid fer, was sent by motor trucks and other available transport to checl the progress of the enemy toward Paris. The Division attacked and re took the town and railroad station at Bouresches and sturdily held its ground against the enemy's best guard divisions.
 "In the battle of Belleau Wood, which followed, our men proved their superiority and gained strong tac tical position, with far greater loss to the enemy than to ourselves. On July 1, before the Second was re lieved. it captured the village of

Ilnbar-Dukate Oyster Factory
Re.0pens Here Next Week
in Men and Women Will Be Wanted At Once.
Vegetable Canning To Follow Close Of Oys-
fer Season

abundant in nearby beds and that
they are Of excellent size and quail
ity Enough of such product is said
to be in sight now to keep the fac
tory running for many seasons. The
operations Of the company this sea
son, which is already far advanced,
will be in the nature Of test and
should it be proven that their expec-
tations are correct in regard to sup
ply the factory will be enlarged and
operated on a vast scale.
The Dunbar-Dukate Company own
oyster, shrimp, fish and vegetable
canning factories in a score of loca-
tions across the southern part of the
United States. When the company
was operating here formerly both
shrimp and oysters were canned.
The present plan, according to Mr..
Blaze, the construction foreman in
charge here who has been with the
company for Is years, is to handle
only oysters until the time comes for
vegetable canning. Mr.. Blaze says
that the building, boilers, watts and
machinery which have been idle here
for three years are in good condition
and he is now engaged with a large
force of mechanics in putting them in
readiness for use. He says that on
ly a delay in the arrival Of certain
machines enroute by water will keep
the factory from starting its oyster
canning next week. The payrolls un-
der the outlined plan will add about
$400 per day to the revenues Of Nor
gan City.
Passive notice has been taken of
this location by the canning COM
pany since they ceased work about
the first Of the year 1915. Through
the activity Of Secretary Palmer and
associates of the Chamber of Com
merce, the attention of the Dunbar
Dukate Company has been directed
to the vast supply of oysters now
to be had and their effort resulted in
an extended inspection Of the avail
able oyster beds recently which de-
cided the re-opening of the factory.
The Chamber Of Commerce is also
busy at this time on several other
matters which are of the utmost i'm
portance to Morgan City and Ber-
wick. Through the efforts of this
organization a great deal has already
been done to strengthen the position
of these cities as the finest locations
on the Gulf Coast for manufacturing
enterprises.

U. S. FOOD ADMINISTRATION

This is the first message sent out
by Herbert Hoover, United States
Food Administrator, for 1918:
"Go back to the simple life, be
contented with simple food, simple
pleasures, simple clothes. Work
hard, pray hard, play hard. Work,
eat, recreate and sleep. Do it all
courageously.
"We have victory to win.
HOOVER"
Though this plea does not deal
with any of the specific work which
the Food Administration is attempt
ing to do, it is formative in the
spirit of cooperation upon which the
work depends. Food Conservation,
the pledge card which consecrates
hotels, restaurants and homes to the
saving of the foods for America s
army and the armies and people of
associated nations, is still one Of the
greatest forces invoked and depend
ed upon. The lesson is emphasized
by another message, one which Har-
ry Lauder, the famous Scotch come
dian, sends to his friends in Ameri-
ca upon the second anniversary of
his sons death. It is addressed es-
pecially to war fathers like himself
and to war mothers like the wife
who cherishes with him the memory
of hero. every family can save
. soldiers life by saving an insignif-
icant amount of food daily, he
says. every ounce of energy con-
centrated in Europe at this time
shortens the struggle. If you want
to bring your lads home again soon,
help them to victory" He comments
that America can scarcely realize
and has not yet realized the sacri-
flee required and the terribleness of
the situation, and he concludes:
"America has the fate of the world
in it's hand. When it is fully arous-
ed there can be no doubt as to the
result,-the lads over there will not
have died in vain."
