Red. Cross Gives Tents
to Shelter. Ameri-

Tent City Managed by Ameri-
can Nurses for Return
.: ing Doughboys
In Paris

Washington, May l0-Fifty canvas
buildings which served last summer
as hospital wards for American SOL
diers VITO went down in the immortal
drive at Chateau Thierry have been
obtained BY American Red Cross and.
transplanted to the site of the PARIS
Exposition where. they are now be-
ing used for 'sheiterihg and. feeding
1000 of the American fighting men
who swarm into Paris every day on
leave. This is the sixth free hotel
which the Red Cross has established.
in Paris for the care of the American
boys who visit the city on sightseeing
trips.
Word of the opening of the big cam
vas hotel, which is located in the
heart of the French capital, has been
received at Red Cross Headquarters.
The tent hotel is divided into two
sections, leach with recreation quar-
ters and bathing facilities. Break
fast is the only meal served regular
ly, but coffee, chocolate and sand
wiches can be obtained throughout
the day. Hardwood floors for dane
ing have been installed in the rec
reation quarters which also contain
reading, writing and music rooms.
Each tent has electric lights and
each guest has comfortable bed
New Pajamas are provided for the
sildiers With, sleeping and eating
quarters scarcer than at any time in
the history of Paris, this congestion
being due to the great number of Of
ficial visitors as we'll as the presence
of thousands of refugees, the Amer
lean doughboys would be hard put
to find Accommodations were it not
for these hotels.
Miss Ethel Burnet of New York
and Miss Mary Tongue of Baltimore
are in charge of the tent city. The
managers of the five other Red Cross
hotels in Paris are: Miss F. w. Ba-
ker, Wildwood, N j.; Miss Margery
Jenkins. Buffalo; Mrs. L. NJ. Pickett.
Atlanta; Miss Alice Lord O'Brian,
Buffalo; and Mrs. Joseph Guedy, La
Grange, Illinois.

American Soldiers Want
V.ocational
Training !
Americas Problem of -Rehabli-
tating her. Wounded Men
Different from that Of
:. Our. Allies -.

Washington, May lQ-The. prob
lem Of rehabilitating our wounded
soldiers differs in several essentials
from: that of our European Allies.
Even Canada, whose experiences are
in so many respects. similar tor our
own. shares IN these differences. The
comparatively small number of our
wounded, scattered as they must be,
throughout the vast extent of our
country, nscessitates different form
I 81 administration from that of Euro
pean countries, with their larger
numbers of wounded men crowded
into smaller sareas,.s Tol;meet this
need, the, Federal, Board has estab-
'lished foutteen kegionaf offices, SO
that disabled soldiers may obtain in
formation and assistance as near their
homes as possible, 80, =.
The armistice was declared before
the necessity arose with US of calling
into service any of the physically un-
fit. Our army was made up to the
last Of picked men, while our Allies
were forced; because of their longer
period of service and consequently
heavier losses, to call in those who
were over age or below physical
standard To refrain young men,
many Of them unmarried, is an easier
thing to do, than. to refrain older
men, who have family burdens to
carry. This may be one explanation
of the fact that the Federal Board
has not encorntered the problem,
which Englarh and France confess
to have been their most serious one
in carrying out their plans for re-
education, the necessity Of persuad-
ing men to take training. There is
certain eagerness among the boys
of the A. E. F. to be trained. The
difficulty is to provide the most
suitable kind of training. The con-
tent of the courses. provided differ
according to the needs of the vari-
Gus ountries. Italy with her large
numbers needing elementary educa-
tion must provide very different
courses from those countries where
highly technical and specialized train
ing is needed.
However, with all these variations
in details, the spirit which dominates
all the countries in their efforts is
that their different interests and va
ride needs must all lead to one COM
mon achievement, that Of giving back
to these wounded men that economic
independence and social self respect
without which a man must find his
life inadequate.

Two Workers Injured at
Shipyard by Fall from
/ Derr.ick
Crane, Carving Tank to b<
Placed in Ship Gives Way.
with Chas. Lowman and
L. Bourgeois Aboard

While being swung into the hold Of
one of the ships being finished at the
local yard of the Union Bridge &
Construction Co. yesterday after
noon, Chas. Lowman and l.. Bout
geois were seriously hurt when the
crane broke and dropped them into
the hold of the vessel. Lowman suf-
fered fractured shoulder blade and
painful bodily injuries, and Bourgeois
sustained broken leg, dislocated a
hip and is injured internally it is
thought Both were taken to the St.
Mary Hospital at Patterson for treat
ment, and late reports indicate that
their injuries are not fatal.
The men were at work placing a
large tank in the bottom of one of
the boat. and had been swung into
the air aboard this heavy tank The
crane swung around with jerk. and
the ropes holding the tank gave away,
letting tank and men fall from a
height of probably IS feet or more
They were promptly rushed to the
emergency hospital, where Temporal
ry attention was given their bruises.
Dr. deGravelles was called, and it
was decided to rush them to the Pat
terson Hospital. 500
That the men have escaped with
their lives is indeed a wonder, as in
the first place they fell from such a
height, and secondly they could have
been crushed to death by the tank
after falling to the bottom of the
unfinished boat: Much excitement
was created by the accident, ,-the men
running from all directions to the
assistance of their fellow workmen.

Preliminary to the constructio, Of

bonds has been voted and sold. the
association collected sufficient funds
through contribution to grade and re-
pair the road between Breaux Bridge

NIT free travel between the two

maud, Mayor George Champagne,
Fernand Dupuis and E. L. Simmons,
went before the parish police jury
Yesterday in the interest of good
roads and strongly urged that all
proper measures be taken to procure
as much good roadbuilding as possi-
BILE. The town of St. Martinville,
which is exempt under its charter
from taxation for parishwide road
building, was invited to vote a spec
ial tax within the town to be turned
ever to the police jury voluntarily,
in order to assist in parishwide road
building. The proposition is favored
by a majority of the citizens of the
town of St. Martinville and it is be-
'ieved the tax will be voted. 1t was
said by prominent citizens there yes
terday that St. Martinville would
not think of taking advantage of its
charter provision exempting it from
paying taxes for. good roads.

as TO insure a permanent market for

property. one of the seventeen farm
ers who is an expert factory man has
been employed to operate the mill
during the grinding season.
Operation is Separate
"The ownership and operation of
the mill is a separate and distinct
matter" said Mr.. Gaspard. "The
mortgages taken by the bank do not
cover the sugar mill and the land up
on which it is located. AS the seven
teen farmers did not have the money
with which to buy any of this land.
and also as the bank makes loans on
ly upon first mortgages, 1t was nec-
essary for some arrangement to be
made for the payment of the amount
due on the property after deducting
the amount loaned by the bank on
first mortgages. The association
made arrangements to finance the un-
paid balances and second mortgages
were given period of seven years
and bearing interest at the rate of 8
per cent. They are in actual poses
sion of the property although not a
cent of their own money has yet been
paid. It is generally regarded that
second mortgages primed by those of
the Federal Land Bank Of New Or
leans are good security and they are
readily accepted as such it being gen.
orally understood and known that the
bank always takes reasonable precau-
ton to insure satisfactory results
from the operation Of the property
supon which loans have been made"

next year. Whatever may be the feeling of the politicians about proIougiug the present status of the treaty, ii k an m- questioned fact that the big majority of Americans want to see it acted on and that quickly. They want il done in such way that 1t will not call for rcopcnng of me- got"tIonS with either the allied powers or with Germany. If mterprctatiyc rescrva- uon~ are demanded. it is an easy matter to get them, but the country does not want the treaty reserved in such a manner as will kill its effectiveness. If Senator Logc has any doubts on that score. it would be well for him 10 read the resolutions adopt cd by the state convention of Massachu- NcttN last fall, He was present at the time. but 1t may be that he has forgotten what happened Senator Johnson, of California. can also give him a few pointers on the subject for the people of his state have voiced their diSapprovaI of his opposition to the treaty in no uncertain manner.
 Having refused the pro-offcrcd olive branch extended by the democratic scna- tors, It Is plainly time for the opposition to make known it's future plans. The demo- crat~ cannot bring the treaty back into the senate. It takes a majority vote to accom- pIIsh that and it is controlled by Senator Lodge. The country wants to know, and to know now, what he and those whom he leads are going to do in the matter. Its failure to act is one of the main causes of the continuation of unrest turnout the world and delays a return to normal con dltlons which is so badly needed not only abroad but in the United States as we'll

TIME SHORT

If the senate expects to do any work toward the ratification of peace during the present year, it will have to bestir itself with greater speed than has characterized any of its actions since the signing of the amnistice on November H. 1918. Since that date it has certainly lived up to its reputation for being a delibcrative body.
 This week will probably end with the senate going into it's holiday recess not to resume sessions until week or so after New Year has passed It is hardly likely that it will take any definite stand prior to that time, but it may reopen discussions in order that the members may be able to report progress CD to their constituents when they go back home to spend the Christmas season. The attitude assumed on the floor of the chamber last Saturday by Senator Lodge offers, however, no en- couragement for immediate action. In the peace offering resolution made by Senator Underwood for the administration was the machinery needed for brining the debate to a close Senator Lodges objections to the proposal are trivial and unworthy of a man holding the position which he does. Controlling as he does the policies of his party on the floor of the senate his inclina- tion to ignore the leaders of the minority party and his demands on the President can but irritate still further the unpleasant ness arising from the treaty situation.
 The country will find it difficult to understand in what way the naming of a conciliation committee for the purpose of composing the differences existing over the peace treaty could be injurious to the gen eral welfare. In fact, it will take real
 proof to show that such a committee, if it accomplished its object, would not have been of more real service to the country than the entire senate has been since March 4, 1918 Unless these differences are com posed the treaty may well continue in a deadlock until after the national election

LABOR'S THREAT

If the "declaratiou of principles ls- sued Saturday evening by the conference of labor union presidents may be taken as representative of the attitude of organized labor in general. the attempt to organize d labor party made recently in Chicago was a complete failure. That party was not mentioned in the conference report and its reference to political pressure being used to redress grievances is believed to mean that such pressure will be applied thru one or the other of the big parties.
 One of the things mentioned by the declaration for which redress will be de- mauded is the injunction proceedings used by the administration in the coal strike. Union labor still feels that it was unfairly treated in that instance. At the time of the hearings attorneys for the labor lcad- CT, did their utmost to bring into the ease Iabor's right to strike, Judge Anderson ruled all of these out saying that it was not an issue in the ease at all. The question to be decided was whether or not the action of the coal miners unions was q threat against the public welfare and a violation of federal statues for that reason Even the union leaders themselves were con vinced before the proceeding, began that the strike was d violation of the Lester act. No effort was made to carry the matter to a higher court. The infringement of the law was too paIpablc.
 But because a means of outIaWin@ the strike was found, union labor proposes to punish the administration that had the courage to enforce the laws II will. it says apply political pressure in order to get even with President Wilson because he stood up for the great mass of the public rather than lay down to the demands of the unions. In making use of the courts, the administration merely performed its duty. But when the time comes, the peo- pie will not forget that in so doing it in cured the enmity of those from whom they were protected. The administration will lose no votes by its policy in the coal strike and it will gain if the unions con- tinuc to protest against the enforcement of law and the uphoIding of order.

LABOR UNION AND DEMOCRACY
(By Dr. Frank Crane)

First, we should know what Labor l-n- IonIsm ls and then, what Democracy is.
 And, first, we don't know yet what Labor Unionism is. It is in process of mak- ing. 1t has not yet found itself
 It may take the turn of Class domi- nance, as the Soviet system in Russia.
 1t may degenerate into d cave of AduI- lam for all the unbalanced cranks and vici- ous soreheads who crave power but lack competence.
 And It may eVentuate as am open, frank and honest union of wage ealmers to influence Government to give the Laborer a square deal and to expose all schemes to exploit and rob him.
 With the last, all faiI-minded men are ill sympathy.
 With the first two, Good Americans want nothing to do.
 And what is Democracy!
 It Is that system of government undc which the majority of the people get what they want.
 All you have to do, in order to obtain your desires in a Democracy, is to convince the majority.
 The ways ought to be always open for you to do this. That is, there should be free speech, free press, free assembIagc.
 But-and here's the rub-When you fail to convince the majority, and under take by violence or any kind of force to make the people submit to minority, then and there Democracy dies. You have an Autocracy, whether the boss of 1t is called William the Kaiser or Fitzpatrick the HorSeshoer.
 The door is open for the Labor Unions to get whatever they can. If they walk thru that door, that is, if they seek their ends by the orderly processes of our repub- lie, and elect legislators pledged to carry out their ideas no man can say them nay.
 But if they disdain this process, and say "To hell with politics;' if they are in too great hurry to wait for orderly re form, and threaten to ruin the business of the country, to intimidate those who want to work, to rail at the officers of the law who strive to do their duty in keeping the peace, if they flOut the Government which the majority of the citizens have chosen, calling 1t capitalistic, tyrannOus and unjust, and propose to have their way by the famil- far German method of frghtfulness, then they have committed suicide; for when the people of the United States find this out they will have none of them.
 Hence, to Labor Unions seeking to i'm prove Democracy thru the established fo, to II
 But, as for Labor Unions impatient, lusting for power, a minority trying to force the majority by fear and destruction, if thus they propose to Usher in the Mil lennium. we can only say, in Gilbertain phrase,
 Gentle, simple minded Usher,
 Get you, if you please, to Russia!
