WAY TO PUNISH
HUN DIABOLISM.

The American Defense Society is
calling for pledges agreeing not to
purchase anything made in Germany.
This is work that meets our heartiest
appreciation. It is not spite or hatred
or anything of the sort. It is hard
common sense, and appreciation Of
justice, using of a powerful weapon
against detestable enemy. Every
American can make his power felt in
this field, by positively refusing to
spend a cent now or hereafter for
anything made in Germany.
Within a few days Germany has
thrown the last shred of decency, civ
.ilization and humanity to the waves
and has announced her intetnion of
sinking hospital ships wherever found.
This she does with a deliberate and
conscious lie on her lips. She does it
because of her complete adoption Of
Satan and all his hellishness. This
makes her a pariah, leper among
the nations. She has CHOSEN to be an
outcast and an outlaw and as such
must take the treatment she has in.
vited.
One way to make reprisals and ap-
ply punishment is to refuse to do
business with her after the war. Now
is the time to make sure that the pun
ishment is applied. Every American
can and should take this Obligation.
That we do not require anything
made in German-including the Ian
guage-is made plain By our expert
ence during the war. We have had
several years of almost entire free
dom from German made things and
we have not suffered. We would be
still better off by declaring complete
industrial independence and positive
ly refusing to purchase a single Ger
man article for at least a century.

RED CROSS PLEDGES.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 17.-Pay
all pledges made during the Second
Red Cross War Fund Drive to your
chapter, says the Gulf Division to SUBJ
scribers in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama.
Lately the national headquarters
at Washington has been flooded with
remittances from subscribers who did
not understand that payments must
be made locally. Such remittances
cannot be handled at Washington
without causing confusion in the rec
ords Of the chapters. Also, there are
no records there to check against.
The latest war fund total for the
division is $4,414,720.31.
H. J. Jumonville, assistant man
ager of the Gulf Division, has issued
the following message on the subject
to chapter chairmen:
"Kindly get in touch Immediately
with your Chapter War Fund chair
man and make the necessary arrange
ments to make announcements to the
public that payment of all pledges to
the Second Red Cross War Fund
are to be made locally and not to
Mr.. McAdoo's office at Washington,
or to national headquarters.
"This request is made upon advice
from national headquarters, as they
are being flooded with remittances
of this kind. They are unable to
handle these remittances at national
headquarters as they have no records
there to check against, and besides, it
would create good deal of confusion
in the records of the chapters"

DEFENSE SOCIETY PROTEST.

The visiting of the American front
in France by military experts Of any
nation other than an Ally Of the
United States was earnestly protest
ed against by the American Defense
Society in" the following telegram
sent today to President Wilson, and
which is signed by Mr.. Charles Stew
art Dawson, chairman of the society's
board Of trustees:
Noticing an express statement in
the public press that Spanish miii-
tary mission, including experts in all
arms, purpose visiting the American
front, We respectfully protest against
the visiting on the American front in
France by military experts of any
nation other than an Ally Of the
United States.
"The sole purpose of the American
Defense Society in calling the atten
ton of the administration to the pro-
posed visit Of the Spanish military
mission to the. American front is to
safeguard by every possible means
all information regarding the organ
ization of American troops on the
field of battle" said Mr.. Dawson.
The protest against the Spanish mill
tary mission is not to be taken as an
expression of feeling against that
particular nation. We favor the ex-
clusion of military experts of all the
neutral powers.
"There are, of course, certain
neutral nations which can hardly be
classed as unfriendly to Germany. To
prevent the sending OF any military
missions by such benevolently neutral
powers is, Of course, an all important
question, and a precedent we believe
should be established at once; other
wise, it might be hard to estimate
American losses in life directly due to
information open to enemy agents
in these neutral countries"

doubtedly take advantage Of this op-
portunity to hear her.

keynote-"United we stand, divided

Each of these parishes have ex-
tensive road work to rtrform. 1t
has been estimated the total amount
of highway construction before the
different parishes will average as
miles. St. Mary has much less than
this, but as every auto owner knows,
the deplorable condition Of the road
way to be remedied in this parish
makes up for the lack of mileage.

short they will rejoice. Every dollar
subscribed will help and encourage
the American soldiers and hurt and
depress the enemies of America.
The loan will be test of the 10y
atty and willingness Of the people of
the United States to make sacrifices
compared with the willingness of our
soldiers to do their part. There must
be and will be no failure by the peo-
pie to measure up to the courage and
devotion of our men in Europe. Many
of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our money?
Shall We spare our dollars while they
spare not their very lives?

sumption of fuel, meaning coal, gas,

New Orleans, La, Aug. II, 1918
Because Louisiana is rich in frewood
in rural communities and with the war
industries and ships needing every
ounce of coal to speed them and the
Allies to victory, the Fuel Admins
tration has adopted and announced
regulations virtually preventing farm
ers and others in rural communities
getting any coal from now on. Coal
dealers must apply to the fuel com.
mittees for their own licenses.
The regulations, self-explanatory,
are covered in special permit for
the local parish fuel committees, as
follows:
81, ...............,a appreciating
fully the critical shortage of coal,

Explaining the necessity for the
special permit for the rural COM
munities, Fuel Administrator O'Kel-
ley stated:
Louisiana is rich in firewood. Mil
lions of cords of wood are on our
farms; in fact, the government re-
ports an average of II cords of wood
per farm. Every cord of wood has
heat value of three fourths ton Of
coal. We need every ounce Of coal
for war industries here and for our
growing fleet of transports and sup
ply ships. Every ounce of coal saved
means that much more available to
send a troopship faster through the
U-boat zone and brings victory for
Allies that much quicker"

' THE BLIMP

When was through my training for
The service of the air,
I thought I'd get q biplane fast
In which to do and dare.
But my ambitious dreams of fame
Received an awful crimp
When orders from headquarters
came
And tied me to a blimp.
The little old dirigible
Was not so very bad.
But nothing to the buses that
My fellow fiiers had.
They flashed above. me out of sight,
And was forced to limp
Along in lower attitudes
And cuss the tagging blimp.
But since I spied a sniper's nest
Concealed among the hay,
And mapped a hidden battery.
All in a single day,
And got a Cross de Guerre to wear
When I'm inclined to primp,
I wouldn't take a battle bird
For my beloved bIimp.

YdnkS Haze Tank Wrecker

One-pound armor-piercing shells
fred at the rate of one per second
are dealing with the German tanks
as effectively, we are told, as the
depth bombs are dealing with the
submarine. The new tank wrecker
is an American development. 1t is
a 37-millim eter gun, weighing about
IT'S pounds, and has a detachable
tripod mounting, which makes it
possible to store the parts in a dug
out, from which 1t can be taken and
assem- bled in less than two minutes.
The gun is handled and manned
by crew of four men. vt has an
unusually low trajectory and a muz-
Gle velocity of 1912 feet per second.
AS the gun is employed at compare
lively short ranges. il is not usually
aimed-that is, the men ire by
dead ckoning"-which permits oe
the rapid delivery of fire; when
sights are used the action is reduced
to about twenty-five shots per min
ute. without the trail, which is long
and "straddled," the gun measures
only thirty-two inches; it has bell
like contrivance over the muzzle,
reminiscent of the old-fashioned
blunderbuss; this is flash hider
for use in night firing.
AT hundred yards the tank
wrecker is said to deliver a knock
out blow. French factories are be-
ing worked overtime to turn out the
new gun and it is also now being
made in America.
