charge of the troops which arrived
here at one O'Clock Wednesday aft

the Enterprise that he would spend

GOVERNOR ORDERS TROOPS HERE;
B0GALUSA MAKES THEM VEL COME.


One hundred and one regular
troops of the United States Coast Ar
tillery, under Colonel James A. Ship
ton and five officers, arrived in Bo
galusa on special train at / O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. A large mum
Der of citizens assembled at the de.
pot to give the troops a regular 30.
galusa welcome.
Just why the troops were sent here
remains a mystery, for on SUNDAY
afternoon Mayor Sullivan talked with
Governor Pleasant and suggested il
would be advisable to send troop:
here. After going over the situation
the Governor stated that he did moi
think troops were needed and sug,
gested that Sheriff Bateman put on
number of deputy sheriffs, select
ing men who reside outside of the
city. This was done, Sheriff Bate.
man sending about twenty men who
reside in other parts of the parish to
Bogalusa, and they were on duty
Monday morning.
Then committee of five, who re-
fused to give their names and stat
ing that they were citizens of Boga-
lusa, called upon the governor and
urged him to send troops here. Be
fore noon Tuesday reports were that
troops had been oruered here. Gov
ernor Pleasant was called and stated
that he had not orsered troops here,
and that he had just inquired from
Washington If he could get troops if
he needed them. He denied having
ordered troops to Bogalusa.
City officials, the Loyalty League,
which is composed of a large major
ity of the business me and property
owners of the city, state that they
did not ask that troops be sent here.
The following interview from the
Times-Picayune with Governor Pleas
ant throws further light on the sub
ject:
When Governor Pleasant was
called at Baton Rouge over long dis
lance telephone Tuesday night, the
operator reported the executive was
in bed and inquired if the necessity
for his coming to the telephone was
great.
The governor later consented to
talk.
Governor Pleasant, the Times
Picayune has an Associated Press
story that United States regulars are
en- route to Bogalusa". the reporter
said. Did you request the federal
government to send :roops?"
Eyes," the governor replied.
"When?"
Yesterday."
did you do SO at the request Of
the business me or Of the union men
of Bogalusaw
Il did it on my own initiative"
did a committee of business men
or a committee of union men from
Bogalusa request sucn action?"
!" A committee of citizens did,"
We're they union men?"
They were citizens, said," the
executive emphasized.
What are your plans? Do you
intend to declare martial law"
u see no necessity of raising the
question of jurisdiction, or whether
I shall or shall not declare martial
law replied the governor.
''Will the acts Of these troops be
legal if you do not declare martial
law"

The official was inclined to believe
that. for time at least, the entente
demands for army reduction are like-

deal with internal troubles. He holds
the view that such disturbances as
the nation has had are due mainly to
professional agitators rather than to
the honest, earnest desire OF the whole
people TO attain new standing In the
Industrial or political world. And.
the fact that Germany has remained
comparatively quiet for some months
was regarded by the speaker as due
largely to efficient police measures.

wise 1t likely would have blown off
with a loud report.
As for bolshevism as a whole, this
authority was inclined to feel that the
collapse of the movement in Munish
and Budapest is a healthy sign for
the rest of Europe. He admitted,
however, that the general industrial
unrest affiictiag France. England and
Germany bode i'll for future peace If
readjustments do not come soon. AS
for Germany, he felt that the red"

with apprehension to the coming win

The coal supply problem of Ger
many is admittedly very critical. TO
increase the household fuel supply. ii
has been decided to sacrifice some of
the state forest wood. But even with
improved conditions for mine labor
and added Inducements there prom
ises to be an Industrial stagnation the
coming winter that quite conceivably
will have serious popular reaction
Because of this specter the govern
ment foresees with some uneasness
the possibility that, despite the APP
parent slumbering of the Spartacus
movement. it will then spring into life
with an upheaval worse than last
winters.
And. because of this fear. many
lGerman officials are striving to have
the police situation improved, inas-
much as army reduction is soon to.be
forced upon the treaty terms. And.
at the same time, they are hoping
that foreign credits can be arranged
SO that a real cure rather than re-
,ressive measure-like Noske guards
can be utilized.
