Swiss and Swedish Lega-
tions Will Care For
INDECENT Cases
o. Assocfatrd Preas.l

Washington. April s0.-With the
approval and cooperation of the
American government the legations
Of Switzerland and Sweden, repres-
enting respectively German and Aus
ro-Hungarian interests, have under
taken to direct relief work among in
digent enemy aliens throughout the
United States. Relief will be ex-
tended to the needy families OF in
termed aliens direct from the legation
funds, while % aia law abiding en-
emy aliens who have suffered on
account OF their status a national
committee of Americans is to be or
ganized to cooperate with the lega-
tions and their consular offices.
Secretary Lansing announced the
ARRANGEMENT in this statement;
'Tn the interests OF safety and
welfare OF this country it has bean
found necessary from time to time
to restrict the movements and fields
of employment OF enemy aliens. In
some cases these restrictions have
worked hardships on enemy aliens
who in all respects have shown
themselves friendly 70 the United
States, but who, owing to the ac-
aldent Of birth and war conditions,
VS. been unable to change their
tatus as such and have Of neceS-
sity become objects Of charity.
Likewise the families Of those en-
envy aliens whom the government
deems II advisable to intern are often
deprived OF their means Of livelt-
hood and they also become dependent
on the charity Of others.
"In order to meet this condition
the legation Of Switzerland and the
legation Of Sweden. in charge re-
spectively Of German and Austro-
HUNGARIAN interests IN America
have with the approval and co-opera-
ton OF this government undertaken
to systematize and supervise all the
relief that may be given to needy en-
envy aliens, wherever and however
situated, throughout the country. In
the case OF the enemy aliens interned
and their families the legations have
agreed to supply all the relief fnom
their own funds.
The case Of law abiding allen has
presented a more complex problem.

formation OF a national COMMITTEES

II feel confident that the intelh-

There Is no obligation in existing

THEENTERPRISE is informed that citizens committee
composed of Senator Deos r. Johnson and D.
McCeary Of FrankIinton and j W. Afford of Sunny Hill
and j. K. Johnson Of Bogasa, who were recently ap.
pointed by the Police Jury to advise regarding the sale of
bonds have suggested that the selling of the half million
dollars good road bonds at 90 cents on the dollar would
be an unwse sale The meeting of the Police jury which
was slated for last Thursday to take action the sale of
bonds not held and The Enterprise believes that the
Police Jury should be working the Plans specifications
and other details now because if everything in read
ness Che roads could not be built owing to the shortage Of
manpower and the orders of the Government to halt all
road work which not necessary for the winning of the
war There is no reason Why when these bonds sold
that they should not bring good price the City Of
Bogalusa bonds which sold for almost SO cents the
dollar When the bonds sold and the roads are started
will be easy matter to have every road in the parish
placed in fine condition if the half-mion dollars which
voted recently will get 100 cents of good road value
for every dollar expended The Police Jury and the ct
zens committee have in their power the opportunity
giving Washington Parish the best roads in the State if
they will just handle the building of the new roads in the
proper way Citizens who have had experience in good
road building should give all the information they possibly
to these bodies that Washington Parish may have
roads that we will all be proud of.
