GRAIN FROM HOLLAND
PREPARED TO WITHDRAW or
FER OF SHIPS FOR TRANSPORT
DUTCH PRESS cRITIClZES.

Washington. The United States
is prepared to withdraw its recent Of
fer Of three ships to expedite grain
to Holland. IL the comment of Dutch
newspapers, accusing the United
States Of duplicity in the condition
that equal tonnage should leave Dutch
harbors for America, is to be taken
as indicative of the feeling of The
Netherland government and people.
Officials expressed disappointment
and surprise at the reception accord
ed the offer of the United States,
which was based on a proposal of the
Dutch government to alleviate suffer
ing from a shortage of breadstuffs.
The offer was supplementary to Presi-
dent Wilson's statement Of March 20,
when the Dutch ships were requisi-
toned, that 100000 tons of grain
would be provided for Holland, If
ships were sent to carry it.
II Holland does not desire to take
advantage of the offer to expedite
the grain the original offer to furnish

sumed in sending ships from Holland
to America will delay the relief the
United States is ready to grant.
The condition that equal tonnage
should leave Dutch waters for Ameri-
ca when the grain steamers departed
was imposed to prevent an increase
in the size Of the feet tied up in
Dutch ports by the German subma-
rine menace.
The three ships provided for expe-
diting the grain were taken off i'm
portant runs, officials pointed out, and
will have to be returned unless some
use is made of them soon.

Writer Points Out Reasons Why IL 10
Not Hard for American People
to Save.

do not know of thing which ev-
eryone of us needs to keep closer to
his consciousness than saving wher-
ever and whenever possible. What
most Of us are prone to forget Is our
greatest assets at this time-the
amount and extent of what we can
save. As a people and as individuals we
have been needlessly and disgracefully
wasteful, have spent money, food, en-
ergy, productivity. simply because we
were too lazy and Indifferent to get no
more than we needed to satisfy our
reasonable desires. Seriously, that
past wastefulness is just now about
our greatest asset. We can save what
we must without involving degree Of
real sacrifice which the French, Bel
gian, and English people had at once
to face. As look upon 1t, saving at
real cost to ones comfort. ideals, and
perhaps health is not an easy thing,
though very fine one. But saving for
such easy-going reckless-spending peo-
pie as we have been. Lleans so little
sacrifice OF anything necessary or
worth while that man or woman will
be some sort Of yellow cur or name
less pup not to do his or her utmost
every day and every hour to save. save,

State Superintendent T. H. Harris
has just received notice from Parish
superintendent Dickerson of Jackson
parish that the Strange Industrial
School. negro institution, valued at
more than $4,000. was burned by in
cendiaries. The school, which was 10
Gated about three miles from Vernon,

had in connection with It an eighty.
acre tract Of land, more than half OF
which Is under cultivation by the pu-
pills. In addition to this school tract,
home gardens were being cultivated.
The authorities are investigating.
The Strange School, like a number
Of ether negro educational institutions
In this state. was supported partly
by the Federal Board for Vocational
Education and by such philanthroPic
sands as the Smith-Hughes fund. 1t
Is said the Jackson parish police jury
lost about $4,000 by the destruction of
this property.
The destruction Of this school prop
erty, az well as bodily harm to the
negro teachers In the faculty, has
been threatened for some time, 1t is
said. Notices were posted in the vi
oiuity Of the school, several weeks
ago. ordering the closing Of the school
and threatening the destruction of the
property and injury to the lives of the
teachers If the children were not
made to discontinue their attendance
ut the school.
Superintendent Harris says he
wrote Sheriff Jones Of Jackson parish
fmm ed1ateiy upon receipt of the in
formation Of these threats, urging him
to appoint deputies in that commun-
ity to preserve the peace and to place
guards at the schoofhouse at night to
prevent the burning Of the property.
Governor Pleasant telephoned Sheriff
Jones also and urged him to take the
necessary steps to prevent any law
less acts.
Nothing will be left undone to run
the criminals to earth and land them
in the penitentiary, IL possible" said
State Superintendent Harris. cit is
taken for granted that the good citi-
gems OF Jackson parish will lend every
possible assistance to wipe out this
gravo reflection upon their parish.
The Strange Industrial School was
doing splendid work in fitting the ne
gro youth Of that section for efficient
service In agriculture and other in
dustries Of the state. II is inconceiv-
able that few ignorant, prejudiced,
lawless individuals will be permitted
10 stand in the way Of the school Off
cials In maintaining a school of that
character"
"The lawless act deserves the con-
demnation Of every thinking person
IN the state" said State Agent Favrot.
Public sentiment should demand that
the guilty parties be run down. The
negro patrons are helpless to resent
this act, and unless the act is proper
" punished they should quietly move
away into some section Of Louisiana |
where they will be permitted to live
n peace and educate their children"

JACKIE STUCK TO HIS POST
Fireman on Watch in Engine Room OF
Torpedoed Ship Commended for
Devotion to Duty.

When the United States ship AlcedO
was tOrpedoed last November in the
war zone George A. Collier, a second.
class fireman Of the navy, was on
watch in the engine room under in.
structions as machinlst's mate. He
was just at that time taking up duties
that would mean, If successfully han.
died, bringing him up another step in
the service. The kind of stuff he is
made Of was shown when just as soon
as the torpedo struck and was fol-
lowed by an explosion he remained
cool and knew exactly what to do.
Despite the fact that he was stand
ing in water up to his knees, the sea
having rushed in through the rent torn
by the torpedo, he stopped the main
engine and then deliberately raised the
safety valve on the main engine by the
hand gear.
Thus, without regard to his own per-
sOnal safety, and when in the greatest
danger of going down with the ship, he
stuck to his post and performed his
duties. He has been commended for
this devotion to duty in letter writ
ten by the secretary Of the navy. Fire

fashions with the output Of the sky,

The utter audacity that women have
shown since the beginning Of time in
regard to the caprices Of the weather
is a part of the history of the clylli-
zation Of man. To return to that fig
leaf: 1t was probably the only time in
history when the climate was met with
the right sort OF costume. Since then.
the world of women has gone on the
path that suggests obstinacy.
