MERCER PLANS TO. VISIT AMERICA

Cardinal Mercier, archbishop of
Malines and primate of Belgium, the
heroic prelate whose fame is now
world wide, is to visit the United
States in the fall. 1t is now stated
that he will land at New York in Sep
tember and will stay six weeks. Two
cities to be visited are Chicago and
Baltimore. Says Cardinal Mercier.
''This will be my first trip across
the Atlantic, but to me it seems that
/ am going to visit old friends. If it
had not been for American fOOdstuffs
the United States army would upon
arrival have found in Belgium only
bones of starved women, children and
old men, a monument to the cruelty of
an enemy of God and man. Belgians
have much to thank the American peO-

GENERAL MARCH WANTS 100000 MEN


Americas military contribution

Nations will be approximately 5OO.OOO
men, in the opinion of Gen. Peyton G.
March. chief of staff of the army. he
expressed this view in testifying be-
fore the senate military affairs COM

"If all of the other nations unite
and do their share, should say the
United States could fulfill its obliga-

March said.
The committee learned from Gen
eral March that none of the European
nations is restoring it's armies to the
antebellum basis. despite the organiza-
ton of the League OF Nations to main
tain peace. Great Britain, for instance,
has fixed the strength of its army at
952,OO0 men, to be raised by conscrip-

size Of the British army before the war.

INDEPENDENT OIL OPERATOR
OF PINE ISLAND FIELD LOSE
ABOUT 1000, 900 BARRELS.
CAUSED BY HEAVY RAINS
Southwest Louisiana May BE Damag
ed BY Oil Entering Streams ano
Killing Fish-Depends On the
Course Oil Takes.

Shreveport
A dead loss Of $3.50. 900 was sus
tanned by the Independent oil opera
tors in the Pine Island field when the
banks of the earthen reservoirs caved
under the continued rains and sent
100000 barrels Of crude oil into the
bayous.
Pine Island crude oil is selling at
10 cents a barrel and the loss falls
heavy upon twenty-five Independent
oil operators. The Standard Oil Com
pany and Texas and Gulf companies
have steel reservoirs and are not ef-
feeted.
The oil from the bursted reservoirs
poured into the bayous and thence 20
the Red river, and that stream al
ready has changed its color from red
to ~biG6kish. 1t, should be passing
down the Mississippi river by New
Orleans within a week. Not only is
this Is a great loss to the oil owners
but the opinion was expressed here
that the oil would probably cause loss
to the fish industry, especially in the
Atchafalaya river and spreading into
the watery regions OF Southwest
Louisiana
The damage to Southwest Louis
lana depends upon the course the oil
viii take when it reaches the sfor:
stretch known as Old River, which
marks the junction of the Red river
with The Mississippi river, and which
is the head of the Atchafalaya river.
One man expressed the opinion thai
IL the oil turned down the Atchafafa-
"a. millions of fish would be killed.
Independent oil producers in the
Pine Island field have been handi-
capped by the refusal of the pipe
line companies to take their oil.
The Independents have been handi-
capped by lack of finances and were
unable to build steel reservoirs for
their oil. With the oil going to waste
they made desperate efforts to save
1t by building levees and in these
earthen reservoirs have stored the
OF. The continual rains have soft
ened the levees and developed Gre
vases.
