THREE MORE oPELousAs soYs
ON FIGHTING FRONT
II There Were Few More SOLDIERS
of the Sea- over There War
Would Soon be Ended

Among the first to volunteer for
service in the marine corps from
opelousas was Albert CIary, Jr., son
Of one of our prominent grocers He
and Hannah Stage and Leo Savoie
went across the big pond at about
the same time, all being members of
the marine corps. A few days ago
Mr.. Clary received the following

France, June 2ss 1918
Dear
1 just wrote mama letter. but
have a little spare time, SO viii
write you. ! received your letter
yesterday and Of course was very
glad to hear from you. am very
glad you are doing all in your power
to help us boys over here, for !
think it is the duty of every man to
do what he can for so great cause.
am glad that bushes is still good.
This is the first chance have had
to write this month, due to the fact
that we have been on an active front
all this time. know you all must
have read about the battle fought by
the marines. You can believe me
they gave those Germans hell.
think IL we had few more marines
over here this war would soon end.
Stagg, Savoie and | are still on
the front. We live in the woods all
the time. Not such bad place to
stay for it is warm and we very sci
dom have rain. In fact, we have had
only one rain since here. have
gotten use to the reports OF the big
guns for we hear them all the time
Old Uncle Sam is taking good
care of us. We get all we can eat
and have lots Of cIothesi we get a
daily paper that gives US all the war
news and some news from the states
we get the baseball results In this

some lonely place since nearly al
the boys are gone. ! don't see how
those that are left can stand to stay
behind. Tell Alphonse not to wait
and be drafted but enlist before Il is
too late.
When you write again give me the
address Of some OF the boys from
home that are in France and maybe
Il can locate some of them. Try to
send me Lawrence Meginley, Henry
Carson and Ross Perkins addresses
The French boy schnerb that met

a nice boy and did all he could to
show me good time. He did invite

HIGH INTEREST RATE
ASKED ON STATE Sep

ATLANTA, Ga, Feb. 4.-Governor
Dorsey is still considering the single
bid received for discounting the states
public school scrip. An Atlanta bank
and an Atlanta bond concern submit
ted a joint bid of 5.95 per cent, which
l., the highest rate of discount the
state has been asked to pay since the
public school scrip was established
by act of the legislature several years
ago. Governor Slaton borrowed money
tc pay the school teachers at 2 to 3
per cent, never paying more than g..
Governor aHrris sold the public school
scrip at 1-2 per cent. When Gov
ernor Dorsey invited bids, the bank
ers and bond dealers for some reason
decided that the state should pay more
interest than it had been accustomed
to paying. Governor Dorsey has not
accepted the bid.

FINED $500 FOR
RIDING TOO FAST

VALDOSTA, Ga, Fef. 4.-For driv-
ing an automobile at an excessive
rate of speed on a country road when
turning a curve Samp Daniels receiV-
ed a heavy fine from Judge Gran
ford in the city court.
On the evening of October 20 Dan
ieIs. while driving at the rate OF 80
miles an hour on the Kinderlou road,
near the city and turning a curve, ran
into a car driven by Col. E. X. Will
cox. badly damaging Colonel Wilcox's
car.
Judge Crawford in assessing the fine
of three hundred dollars stated that
he did so in order to impress upon
the drivers of cars that they must not
trrn curves at excessive speed, as
fins is a most dangerous practice and
is against the law. 1t is expected
that this will be an example to those
who travelthe country roads and
"burn the wind" when they think they
are beyond the reach of an officer

NOT UNDERSTOOD
UNITED STATES JUST RECOGNIZE
ING ITS MISTAKE-TROTSKY is
Introducing A NEW KIND OF
DIPLOMACY.
BY ". T. MASON.

Written for The United Press.)
NEW YORK, February 5.-Leon
Trotsky's remarkable statement to
the United Press on Russias foreign
relations shows that the Bolsheviki
government believes it is interna-
uonally at bay. struggling for it's own
lceals of extreme democracy against
a world of enemies
To help Russia at this time is pri-
marily necessary to know the know
the Russian governments point of
view. ,Trotsky has now supplied it..
lie Is wrong about Americas reason
Tor being in tn war, but America has
been wrong about the character of the
Bolsheyiki leaders. America saw
the mistake first; the Bolsheviki have
not yet realized theirs.
Trotsky's vehement denuciation of
the western democracies reveals the
nervous tremors and snarling often
S1ve OF the wounded animal fighting
Tor its life against the pack Trotsky
shows that Russia thinks it has been
stabbed by its democratic allies for
thelr own benefit The news cannot
have penetrated Russia that the Boil
sheviM are winning American opinion
10 their side by the highest test of all
the test of results.
Trotsky's plea that the allies Join
the peace negotiations at Brest-
LitOvsk, as proof of their sincerity,
cannot be accepted. The western ma
tons see more clearly than do the
BOlsheyiki that the German mill
tarists would become dominant if their
demand for a secret conference were
granted. Trotsky's present power over
The people of the cetral empires
is due entirely to the absence of al
lied statesmen from Brest-Liovsk. The
isolation of the Bolsheviki has per-
mitted the Tenutonic masses to be-
Ieve there is not trick for any nations
concealed in Trotsky's new kind of
democracy. 1t is practically certain
: II Trotsky measured his words more
Searefully than he has done IN his state
ment to the United Press there would
be no internal disturbance at this
time in Austria-Hungary and Germany.
Trotskys open diplomacy must be un-
derstood anew 1t would be catastro-
phe if the old western spirit Of de-
mocracy arising in the east were to
become permanently antagonistic.
There is immediate work here for

PATRIOTIC GIRL
SENDS IN LETTER

patriotic composition written by
| Georgia Harvey, seventh grade pu-
Pill in Plains school, which of such
merit it is presented to our readers
for their consideration. The compo-
sition is as follows:
Every one knows that nearly every
child wants to be patriotic. Nearly
every one wants to do some thing that
| will help our country to win in the
war and something that will make
the boys feel at home and be comfort
able
The girls can knit sweters for the
soldiers. The girls can do Red Cross
work. The boys can give money to
the Red Cross uses. The boys can cut
wood for the Red Sross.
We can get no, books and papers that
the boys like to read and send them
to the camps.
We can be patriotic by using less
coal and more wood so that the
American boys will have the coal to
keep warm in Europe.
The papers stated that some of the
soldier boys could not read and write
The sixth and seventh grade boys can
go to school and learn what they can
| so it can't be said about them, If the
war lasts until they are old enough
to go.
The girls and boys can save money
and giev it to the Y. NJ. C. A. to make
the boys feel at home when they are
called away from home to go and fight
for their country.
This is the question that all of us
are asking, How can we help in the
WARP" Even though we aren't grown
we needn't stand around and say,
yes, l would help, but 1 am not big
enough All of us should do our
best in this great war
We can make trench torches. Our
men do not always have light in the
trenches, but we can make torches by
the hundreds. eWknow how bad it
would be in trenches without light.
This is the way to make trese
torches Take six strips of newspa-
per, one or two columns wide, and roll
them around pencil and tie securely
with card. Then remove the pencil
and boil the candle for twenty min
utes in parafne, which gives them the
lasting quality of first-class candle.
! This little torch burns for forty-five
minutes, giving a better light than the
ordinary candle We all could make
these torches.
Around our homes are empty plats
lying out Why couldn't wk make a
war garden? OF course, we wouldn't
be first-class afrmers, but nobody
knows his luck until he tries. A man
said, Food will win the war;" and so
why couldn't we have war garden?
Collect old kid gloves of any color,
scraps of leather of any size, coor or
quality, and send them to Miss Jessie
Bonstille, Stage Womens War Re
Rief, 800 Fifth avenue, New York City.
They are made into warm vests for
French and Belgian soldiers.
We all know ome way that we can
be patriotic.
hTe composition is a meritorous
one, and The Tmes-Recorder returns
thanks to Mss Julia L. Coleman, who
CONTINUOUSLY subn-itted it for publica-
ton.

rather sharp upturn in industriais

There were some exceptions TO the

vance was the difficulty of shorts In
obtaining loans of the stock.
This difficulty Is further attested by
stock loaning rate Of 1yper cent
which prevailed after the close. This
loan rate means that a man who sold
fe0 shares American Sumatra that he
did not own had to pay 500 a day

shorts to cover and their efforts were
