WHAT WOULD BE LEFT.

The opposition to the League of
Nations as it has developed in the
United States Senate is not likely to
prove great obstacle in the end.
There can be no peace without the
league, it now appears. With all the
fourteen nations strongly planning to
incorporate the league in the peace
treaty and make it part of the final
agreement, friends of the measure
in the United States ought to take
courage
But here is a comment from The
Triton Gazette which suppose things
we do not contemplate:
Once remove the prospect of
League of Nations and we have
the Peace Conference transform
ed into a grab game, with the
strongest Selling what greed dict
ates and laying the foundation for
r.ole wars in the near future. For
instance: "Mrs. Tuohy, The
Worlds chief correspondent at
Paris, reports that as a result of
opposition to the League of Ma
lions in the United States Senate
there is hardening Of French
feeling in respect to claims COW
ing the left bank of the Rhine
This is natural. Selfishness al
ways begets selfishness and
materialism breeds materialsim. If
the United States is to take the
position that it will do nothing to
prevent future wars or to safe
guard the terms of peace, it is
inevitable that the Frence extrem-
lists and all other extremists will
try to seize everything they can
for their respective countries,
and whatever temporary peace
comes out of the Paris Conference
will be a peace of spoils and loot
So far as international morals
and conscience are concerned, we
shall all be back where we started
when the Germans crossed the
Belgian frontier and the way will
be opened for a new war of re-
prisals."

KEEPING THE RECORD

powerful republican leader, ar attack
ed the league OF nations that his
friends keep the record straight for
him. And the record at the time
seems best to show that Lodge is not
moved from deep principle now to
oppose the league, for ON another oc-
casion we had much more reason to
believe he was sincere.
One of the most eloquent and con,
vincing arguments in favor of a league
OF nations was madeb y Senator Lodge
when he delivered the honorary
chancellor's address at Unition Col.
lege in June 1915. He said in part:

AReoNNE AND THE WILDERNESS

The Cincinnati Times-Star says:
"Details of the great battle are
slow and far between. The legions
closed amid the darkness and the
gloom; their tremendous struggles,
to those of us who waited here at
home are like ghosts struggling in
a fog. We do not know and shall
never know. Never in this life shall
we be told the story of the men who
fought through tangled wood and bar
bed-wire dell This much, perchance,
we know, and we can keep and hold
and cherish; Argonne was the great
est battle in which American soldiers
ever fought, the battle in which more
American troops engaged than any
other in our glorious history and in
which more sons Of the North more
boys Of Dixie and the West were
slain than any other combat since the
flag broke forth in shining folds,
"Argonne in each and every detail
was the battle of the Wilderness
again. That much is evident from all
dispatches and all letters of the fight.
1t was a titanic surging and heaving
of enormous armies in dark and
sunless wood. 1t was the seething
ferment of strong souls in agony, the
deadly mingling Of myriads of hat
ing, desperate men. The story Of the
Wilderness, "the fight in the murky
midnight and the shot from behind
the tree is the story Of Argonne all
over. Men plunged into the forest
depths. seeking ambushed foes; coher-
ence of regiments, battalions, even
companies, was lost; little knots OF
fighters, meeting by pure chance be-
meath the awful shadows, slew and
reeled and staggered-staggered for
ward or back-and when the dark
woods were passed and the bright
sun shone down again the Americans
had won!
"In the dreadful darkness of the
Wilderness Grant had 100000 men,
and 10000 grayclad followers of Ro-
bert Lee opposed him. In the black
struggle of Argonne 100000 Americans
went forward, and equal number of
Germans gave way or stayed there,

million full-armed soldiers, could have

SIMPLY PERFECT IN THEORY
Kitchen Management Left Nothing to
Be Desired, Except the Prosaic /
Fact Of Cooking.

An experienced housewife, who has
never taken any other course in do
mestic science than that afforded by
wrestling many years with the prob
lem of three meals a day, felt much
interested when her college-bred daugh-
ter told her that she was going to
spend the weekend with a friend who
was the last word in the highbrow
world of the cooking specialist.
Mother, 1t was wonderful" ey-
claimed the girl on her return. "On
one side of her white-tiled laboratory
she doesn't call it a kitchen-there
is the dishwashing machine and on
the other the long tables for the. con-
structive work. The arrangements
are perfect, and everything is clean
and shining. I'm just crazy about it.
Not bit like our haphazard kitchen"
"And presume the food was equally
wonderful" said the really sympathetic
mother. ready to learn of the new
generation. "Tell me about it."
The returned visitor looked thought
full. well, you see. we didn't go very
deep into cookery. She never does. We
had dinner made in the fireless COOK
er, some sort of stew. And the rest
of the stuff she gets at the delicates-

Robert Burns.

Burns is the singer of songs as i'm
mortal rs love, pure as the dew of
the morning, and sweet as its breath;
songs with which the lover woos his
bride AID the mother soothes her
child and the heart Of people beats
with patriotic exultation; songs that
cheer human endeavor and console hui
man sorrow and exalt human life. We
cannot find out the secret of their pow
err Until we know why the rose is
sweet or the dew-drop pure, or the
rainbow beautiful, we cannot know
why the poet is the best benefactor
of humanity. If we were forced to
surrender every expression of human
genius but one. surely we should re-
tain poetry; and If we were called to
lose from the vast accumulation Of lit
erature all but score of books. among
that choice and perfect reminder
would be the songs of Burns.-George

MEXICAN INCIDENT CLOSED

General Candido Aguilar, son-in-
law Of President Carranza and his
confidential ambassador" at Wash
ington. followed his protest of yes
terday against the crossing of the
Mexican border by American troops
as violation of Mexican sovereign
ty," by statement in which he said
that his government was satisfied and
wished the incident closed. The
statement follows:
"The Mexican Government con-
siders as closed the incident brought
about by the crossing Of American
troops into Mexican territory, and
has approved the manner in which
the matter was treated before the
Department of State by confidential
Ambassador Aguilar and Charge
d.Affaires ad interim Rejo."
This is satisfactory ending to the
episode as far as the diplomatic re-
iations of the two countries are con
cerned. However the fact remains
that contingency may arise in the
future demanding similar conduct on
the part OF American troops and
there ought to be some definite
agreement between this government
and Mexico covering such situations
in the future.

Tax Cut in Half
Valuation Doubled

Alexandria, La, June 23.-At
a meeting of the Red River, At
chafalaya and Bayou Boeuf
Levee Board met here this
week, the board met here this
resolution reducing the tax mil
lage from 6 to 8 mills. The
reason for this reduction is the
fact the state assessment had
been placed on a 100 per cent
valuation and. d.on such a basis
the revenue to be derived from
the 3 mills will be the same as
that formerly derived from a
tax of 6 mills.
Several new drainage projects
were discussed and referred to
the State Board Of Engineers
with the request they prepare
,an estimate of the probable cost.
A petition was presented to the
board from property owners of
the Lower Atchafalaya river
section requesting that the state
drainage canal be extended
through that t erritory. This
question was referred to the
State Board of Engineers for an
opinion as to it's feasibility and
also for an estimate of the prob
able cost of the work.
Members present were: E. G.
Richard of St. Landry, presi-
dent; w. C. Hudson of Rap
ides, j. B. Bronson of Avoyelles,
Sol B. Pressburg, secretary, and
George C.. Schoenberger, mem
ber of the State Board of Engin-
eers also were present.-Pica-

according 10 a statement by M. Let
this morning. The new owners IT
the piece OF ground propose to build
modern theatre on the site, and
steps have been taken to have the
plans for the new building drawn up
at once in order that work may start
i'll the very near future.
This theatre says Mr. Loeb. will
be built according to the most mod
ern ideas in showdom. We have con-
fidence in the future of Morgan
City. and the growing demand for
such theatre is becoming more and
more apparent | feel that we are
fully justified in making the ven
ture"
Mr. Loeb called attention T. tie
fact that he had only recently con-
tracted with the Saengar syndicate
to do all OF his booking for the
Opera House.
ITO do this" he says. 1t was nee
essary for me to spend pretty pen
ny, but ! believe that fhe returns
from the service they propose to
furnish will repay me for the expen-
diture. This means that all of the
features that are being shown in the
Strand Theatres and other big time
places throughout the country con-
trolled by Saengar will be shown to
the patrons of the Opera House We
will continue to do our booking
through this syndicate after the new
theatre is built, and it is possible that
the Saengar people may take stock in
in the new firm. They have indi-
Gated previously that they were in
terested in this city and went SO far
as to offer to back up another firm
that proposed to build theatre
here"

Rayne Goes Down
to Third Defeat

base ball club of Rayne went
down to a third defeat at the
hands Of the Patterson Grays
at Patterson yesterday. Over
two thousand people were on
hand to witness the game, COM
ing from all parts of the south
western part of the state. Nor
gan City was represented by
lover a hundred strong, most of
whom rooted for the Patterson
boys. The Morgan City Brass
Band furnished music for the
occasion, and helped to put a
little pep in the game. The final
score stood Z to /. Rayne scor-
ing in the eight inning on an
error.
Prior to the opening of the
game, Mr.. julius P. Hebert
addressed the grandstand and in
vited all present to spend the
Fourth Of July in Morgan City.
He told of the elaborate prepara-
tions being made to entertain
the soldier and sailor boys, and
assured all that they would have
occasion to rue the day if they
failed to come here for the big
event.
Patterson can well boast of it's

as the twirler and Stapleton do
ing the work behind the batter,
the fellow who gets to first
must have a keen eye to see the
stuff that is on the pill as it
comes sailing over the plate.
