FIGHTING POWERIS
BEING DEVELOPED.
ARMY IS FIVE MONTHS AHEAD
OF SCHEDULE IN TROOP
MOVEMENTS.
$4,000 MEN IN AUGUST
II Present Hopes Are Realized, 1885,
600 Americans Will BE In France
Before Sept. 1-Question Of
Available Shipping Factor.

Washington, June 27.-Secretary
Baker disclosed to the Senate mill
tary committee that within three
months an enlarged army project now
being worked out will be presented
to Congress to represent the maxi
mum fighting effort of the country.
Already the calculation upon which
the pending army bill was framed
have been exceeded and the War de-
partment is now revising it's plans
on an enlarged basis that means adj
dittonal billions in money and addi-
ttonal millions of fighting men.
Mr.. Baker disclosed the new plans
In explaining his reasons for oppos-
ing any changes now in the draft
age limits. Later during general de-
bate In the Senate chambers, figures
were disclosed showing the great
strides being made toward bringing
American fighting power to the front
In France.
1A5o,ooo to Go Across.
General March, chief of staff, al
ready has announced that the army
Is five Q1pnths ahead Of schedule In
troop movements, 100000 men having
been shipped abroad. During the. de-
bate, however, It was disclosed that
If present hopes are realized 1886, 900
men would have reached France some
time in August and that there would
be total force under arms of ap-
proximately 100000.
Secretary Baker and General March
were positive that the reservoir Of
fighting man power would meet all
calls upon it under the best possible
conditions of mobilization and -trans-
portation, until Congress had an OPP
portunity to take up age extensions
later with the data now being COM
piled by the War department at hand.
vii! Be No Delay.
That there would be no delay in
increasing the army to the maximum
of the nations shipping, food, cloth.
ing and other resources by postpon-
ing change in the draft ages was the
statement Of Secretary Baker and
General March upon which opponents
Of the Fall amendment laid stress, al
though they declared Congress should
not now force upon the War depart
ment legislation not yet approved or
carefully considered, even by Con-
gress.
Sentiment generally was expressed
In the debate that revision of the
draft ages apparently must be resort
ed to in the near future and con.
sidered by Congress next fall at the
latest. General sentiment also was
against lowering the minimum age
below 20 years and for increasing Of
the maximum to at least IS years.
The question of available shipping
to- haul the men to France is the
vital factor. At present much British
and French tonnage is employed on
the work, as unusually good crops in
England have already made ships
available weeks longer than was ex-
pected.

Men to Camp.
A misunderstanding has arisen
among many men who are due to
leave for army camps in the next calls.
causing them to believe that the date
of entrainment will be postponed on
account of the prevalence of influenza
in the, state. The telegram received
by Major Neil Rain from General
Crowder, which has given rise to the
misundersta nding is as follows:
During the prevalence of the influ-
enza epidemic arrange to have medi-
cal member of the local board or ad-
ditional examining committee physi-
clans inspect all registrants when they
report for induction, for the purpose
of detecting those suffering with
transmissible disease. The entrain-
ment of men found to be suffering
shall be delayed until they are cured
and are no longer a menace to others.
Nothing in this telegram shall be con-
strued as authorizing local board to
reduce its allotment. If a mans en-
trainment is delayed. another man
must be called in his place"
+ In letter which has been sent out
to all local boards turnout the state
from the office of the adjutant general
is the following information:
MANY local boards are requesting
authority to cancel their calls, or are
asking for delay. This office regrets
very much to say that local boards are
called upon to fill their calls, and at
the same time they are expected to
protect the government against any
menace"

the only manner in which the names
can be secured, and you would not
want the name of your father, son,
brother or sweetheart to be missing
from this roll of honor. Attend to
this at once, as it is of great i'm
portance. Do not take it for granted
that some one else will send in the
name. Do it yourseIf-do it right
now. If any other information is
required, City Clerk Bean will ask
you for it.

PUT LIBERTY LOAN OVER THE TOP

Following meeting at the Y NJ.
C A.last Friday night Bogalusa start
ed her drive to go over the top inn the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Following the
meeting the ladies announced that
they have sold several thousands of
dollars worth of bonds and they are
still at work and if all of the reports
of the ladies' division could be Sc
cured, it is believed that they have
sold $125, 900 worth of bonds in the
parish. The ladies are way ahead
in the lead, and as Miss Elizabeth
Sullivan warned the men, they are
going to be badly defeated in this
contest.
Incomplete returns of the teams in
Bogalusa alone showed that they had
sold about $4,000. A good organi-
cation of ladies has been secured in
every part of the parish and they are
hard at work. The complete reports
of the first week of the drive is ex-
pected to show that the parish has
raised over $15O,O0O or with $4,000
of the quota assigned the parish. D.

Enterprise Moves In
New Quarters

When the painter completes his
work at the new home of the Enter
prise, Bogalusa can lay claim to one
of the prettiest and up-to-date print
ing offices in the South. Moving day
is task that everyone breads, but
now that the Enterprise is located
in the Spekenhier building, on Louisi-
ana Avenue, the trouble, work and
cost has convinced every member of
the force that it was a good in
vestment. All of the machinery, in
Guiding the linotype, was moved by
H. F. Parker, assisted by w. Rawles,
of the Great Southern machine
shops without any mishap of any
kind. When it comes to handling
machinery, placing them and laying
out the new shafting, they proved
past masters of the art. With the
electrical connections and changes L
A. Larson, of the Great Southern
electrical department, sent his crew
over, who had everything in excel
lent condition in a very few hours.
Several others rendered valuable as
sistance, among whom was R. Ko-
lena.
Within the next week after the
painters and carpenters have COM
pleted their work we want you to
visit the new home OF the Enterprise
and see if you have ever visited a
more sanitary or better looking print
ing Office.

GERMAN SPY PLOT
FOILED BY AMERICAN
Charles Ray, in New Ph0toplay, ''The
Claws of the Hun" Has Role of
Great Dramatic Force

. How John Stanton, son of a mil
lionaire manufacturer of munitions,
the role played by Charles Ray in
his latest Paramount photoplay, "The
Claws Of the Hun" produced under
the supervision of Thomas H. Ince,
foil the plot Of German spies to OBJ
tain the secret formula of a high ex-
plosive, forms a thrilling episode Of
that usually strong picture which viii
be displayed at the magic City
Theater, tomorrow, Friday.
John Stanton long has desired to
enlist for duty Somewhere in
France" ut his mother who is. i'll,
and fearful, exacts a promise from
him not to enlist, because she
could not survive his departure for
the front. He is called Stacker
by his friends and when his sweet
heart treats him coldly he is in des-
pair In his fathers safe reposes
the formula of a high explosive en-
trusted to him by the United States
government, and Stanton learns and
frusterates the plot Of several Ger
spies to obtain possession of it.
Of course, when Stanton's mother
come to a full realization of the
danger Of the Hun espionage in this
country and of the necessity of COM
batting enemies abroad as well as
at home, Stanton is permitted to re-
flute the charges of being Stacker
by enIisting in the American army.

per cent of the valuation, and, for
the bonds already voted, valuation
at so per cent. Now, this will figure
out as follows: If your present as
sessment is $1,000, you will pay just
$12 more for this year. If your
present assessment is $500, you will
pay just Sc more, ETC., if $3.50, just
SO more, etc. So that the increase
will not be much, and, the money
received will enable the council to
wipe out the old debt of 1914 before
any taxes were collected and leave
practically clean slate Tor the new
Council. Another reason why it is
necessary that this be done this year
is, that in November, a Constitution
al amendment will be voted on, which
if passed will prohibit any higher
valuation than 100 per cent, but will
reduce the millage to mills, and, it
this matter is not adjusted this year,
1918, the city would be forever
barred from adjusting it on account
of the Constitutional Amendment.
Now, that every one IN the city is
making more wages than has ever
been konwn, and, making more
money than any other country on the
face of the globe, certainly this lit
tie $12 per Thousand, Tor one year
