American Troops Hold
Sector Safe Against
Assaults
German Suffer Heavily, Is
Belief

Another successful maneuver by
the Americans on their sector of the
front is Of the greatest interest. AS
on last Saturday, the Americans
again have nipped in the bud an i'm
pending surprise attack on their
trenches and taught the Germans a
salutary lesson with their artillery:
In the German trenches the Teutons
were awaiting word to go over the
top for an attack, when the Ameri-
cans opened a heavy fire on the po-
sitions.
Heavy casualties are believed to
have been inflicted on the Teutons,
and considerable damage was done
BY the 75s on the German trenches
due to the accuracy of aim of the
American gunners.
The Germans have not yet been
able to reoccupy the trenches and
dugouts battered by the American
fire Saturday evening and have been
forced to build another line Of tren-
ches at that particular point.

Y. M. E.. A. Work

The recent campaign for funds
for the Y. NJ. C. A. War Work re-
suited in the State of Louisiana
making another record for herself in
helping along the different organiza-
tions asking for financial aid since
the war started. When the differ
ent states were being apportioned
their share of the S35,O00,00O
necessary for the execution Of the
plans of the National War Council
of the Y. NJ. C. A. Louisiana was al
loted 1925, 100000 Of that amount.
With incomplete returns from some
parts of the state, C. S. Watson, who
has charge of the collection head
quarters, 1O6 City Bank Building,
New Orleans, reports that $685.
10000 has been pledged. This shows
that the people Of Louisiana have
far more than doubled the amount
they were asked to give. There
could be no better proof of the
splendid patriotic spirit that exists
all over the state than the way the
friends of the Y. M. c. A. have sup
ported this campaign for giving COM
fort to our boys in training and at
the front.
The district including St. Mary,
Assumption, Iberia and St. Martin
parishes raised total Of S7,S27.36.
Of this amount $1,265.91 came from
Morgan City, TIE remainder being
gwen by TIE other towns and rural
districts in the parishes.
The main towns of each of the
thirteen districts gave the following
amounts: Shreveport, $21,280.67;
New Orleans, 1O9,977.OO; Ruston,
s3,484.73; Monroe, S5,O27.68; Mans

figures. Should any pledge or cash
be outstanding, kindly forward tc

Community Music

During the last twenty or thirty
wears there has been an enormous
increase in the United States of what
NAV be called Constitutional" music.
We have built opera houses, we have
formed many new orchestras and we
have established the teaching of mu-
sic in nearly all Of our public and pri-
vate schools and colleges, so that a
casual person observing all this,
hearing from boastful lips how many
millions per annum we spend on mu-
sic and adding up the various COL
ums into one grand total, might ar
rive at the conclusion that we are
really musical people.
But one who looks beneath the sur
face-who reflects that the things
we believe, and the thing we love,
that we do-would have to do a
sum in subtraction also; would have
to ask what music there is in our
own housesolds. He would find that
in our cities and towns only in
habitants sing together for the
pleasure Of doing so, and that the
task of keeping choral societies to-
gether is as difficult as ever; that
the music we take no part in, but
merely listen to, is the music that
flourishes; that our operate sing
ers, the most highly paid in the
world, come to US annually from
abroad and sing to us in languages
that we cannot understand; that, in
short, while music flourishes much
of it is bought and little of it is
homemade. The deduction is OBJ
vious. This institutional music is a
sort Of largess Of our prosperity. We
are rich enough to buy the best the
world affords. W. institute music
in our public schools and display our
interest in it once a year-at grad
uation time. We see that our chill
dren take music lessons and judge
the result likewise by their capacity
to play for US occasionally very
nice little piece. Men, in particular,
all potential singers and very much
needed to sing-look upon it as a
slightly effeninate or scarcely natural
and manly thing to do. Music is, in
short, too much our diversion, and
too little our salvation. Thomas
Whitney Surette. Ito be continued
both by home writer's and others.)

1.-THE NECESSITY FOR UNI
VERSAL THRIFT"

Prize composition won by Miss
Vera Palfrey, 10th grade, Franklin
High School is here given:
It is the duty of our people dur
ing this war to save. For one orstwo
people to save is not the idea, it is
universal Thrift that is needed.
We are now having to feed our
soldiers, the allies soldiers, our peo-
pie and the people of the Allies.
Not only do we have to feed this
vast number Of people but we have
to help clothe them. II each per
son would save, as much 40 he
could Of food and money it would
soon amount to = great deal which
would help supply the necessities
and in this way relieve q great
part Of the suffering that IL now
taking place.
One Of the many ways Of saving
ID by using corn meal instead Of
wheat. Wheat is needed, for corn
meal can not be shipped with any
advantage for it spoils 90 quickly
and then, too, the allies do not
know how to use it. It would be
too much Of IN expense if they did
learn to use it, for, new bakeries
would have to be put in, and now
they have numbers and numbers Of
large bakeries, which would be OF
no use to them if corn meal were
used. There are various ways OF
saving such Is not spending money
on unnecessary articles, as candy
and soda water. and by not going to

HUGE PIECES OF ARCTIC ICE
DRIFT FAR INTO The ATLANTIC
Mild Polar Winter Indicated by the
Bergs in Latitude of Philadelphia.
A Menace to Navigation.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-Immense
icebergs drifting down the polar cur
rent have been reported from time to
time by incoming steamships, an in
dication to the seawise that the win
ter has been extremely mild in the
polar regions. These menaces to
ocean navigation are now placed by
a vessel which arrived at an Atlantic
port yesterday as being in latitude
due east of Philadelphia.
In the log book of the ships which
came into port it was entered that
they came upon the icefeld early on
the morning of June 81, in Latitude
Alb, longitude 1890. The ships
were then crossing the track of close
ly packed bergs and foes, the extent
of which neither eye nor glass could
measure. Bergs, one of them fully a
quarter of mile in length, and rising
from the water seventy or more feet,
doomed up to the northward. BY its
side foated a narrow ribbon Of ice
more than a half mile in length. The
ocean everywhere was dotted with
floating ice and bergs.

SENATOR'S SCATHINCLY
ATTACK H. HOOVER
FOOD ADMINISTRATOR CHARG-
ED WITH COMPELLING THE
EXACTION OF BIG PROFITS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The SEN
ate, by an overwhelming majority,
refused to yield to the house opposi-
ton to an increase in the govern
ment's minimum guarantee for wheat
to $3.50 per bushel.
A motion of Majority Leader Mar
tin proposing to instruct the senate's
representatives to abandon the price
increase proposal was defeated 46
to 10.
The senate's action causes contin-
uance of the deadlock over the $28,-
100000 appropriation measures and
prevented its passage today, the be-
/ ginning Of the governments fiscal
year. Enactment Of an emergency
resolution to provide needed funds
for the department Of agriculture,
pending settlement Of the wheat dis
pute, is under consideration.
Attacks Hoover.
Senator Reed, of Missouri, in urg-
ing the amendment, again attacked
Food Administrator Hoover. He said
the most horrible example" of prof.
iteering shown in the federal trade
commissions report was that of the
packers, who, he declared, were
compelled" rather than permitted by
Mr. Hoover to make big profits.
"The farmer is told to be patriot
ic," Senator Reed continued, reading
statement by the food administra
tons meat division in which it wa:
said that it was necessary to be lib
eral with the packers.
Prices on bran, wheat and rye
flour and meal now are much higher
than when the food administration
was created, the Missouri senator
said, adding that no Spectator II
these commodities lever laid tina
kind of a toll on the consumer"
Senator Reed warned Southern
senators that cotton would be mex
to come under governmental regula
tions.
The Missouri senator declared tina
Mr.. Hoover is violating the law il
the administration of his office H,
read from a recent announcement b.
the food administration stating tina
!. in order to increase the supply o
food state fishing regulations wer
to be set aside. Senator Reed SAT-
this action was not only beyond tn
power of the food administration
but even beyond that of congress o
) the president as it is interference
with the rights of states.
| Senator Lodge declared if sue
laws are set aside the fishing indus
) try would be ruined.
