Stock Does Damage
to Parks and Yards

Last week force of several men
spent few days placing the park
opposite the depot i'll perfect condi-
tion-making it an impressive sight
to visitors of the city. Tuesday
morning a herd of cattle were in
the park where they remained for
several hours eating the flowers and
hedges. In North Bogalusa there is
scarcely a day that yards are not
damaged by the running loose Of
stock. In other sections Of the city
especially the south side, cattle can
be seen running loose and doing
damage to the parks and lawns. Last
week on the arrival of the afternoon
south bound passenger train there
yards and there is not q day that
in any section Of the city. Citizens
who want to take pride in making
their lawns pretty have about be-
come disguised after spending much
money and it is time the Commits
sion Council was taking some action.
With hundreds of acres of grazing
land outside the residential and busi-
ness district the demand is growing
for some action to have stock ordi-
nance and the strict enforcement Of
same.
North Bogalusa property owners
recently went to the expense Of sew
eral thousands of dollars to have
concrete walks laid and Northwest
Bogalusa and Columbia street are
now making the same improvements
To date these sidewalks appear to
be used more by stock than the citi-
Gems owing to the condition which
the stock leave the sidewalks in. The
Commission Council owe it to the
property owners to give them some
relief from the nuisance.

AT C. S. L. PLANT

In some departments of the Cree

til the mill starts up again. GeN-
eral Superintendent Cassidy could
not state just how many were at
work or how many more would be
given work. There are many re-
pairs to be made but the exact num-
Der could not be obtained just now,
said Mr.. Cassidy. The superintend-
ent may place a few men on from
time to time but he is the only per-
son who could give the information
as to how many will be re-employed.

Large Numbers Are

the Great Southern Lumber Co. last
Tuesday night which has resulted in
the mill being closed down and in
dications that it win remain closed
for so to 80 days mas resulted in a
large number of former employees
leaving Bogalusa. 1t was estimated
that from Thursday until Monday
morning that between 400 and 500
had left the city and it is expected
that possibly a hundred or more will
leave this week which will likely end
the exodus from the city. The plant
of the Bogalusa Paper Co., the Rich

The weather man has been pass
ing Bogalusa up for two weeks with
out rain until good shower now

such an extent that it win be neces-
sary for BogaIusa to have additional

OPENS FIGHT UPON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
OPPOSITION RESOLUTION PRE-
SCENTED BY SENATOR FROM
PENNSYLVANIA.
Declares for Immediate Conclusion OF
Treaty Dealing With Direct Issues
Of War Only, Without Adoption
Of League Of Nations Plan.

WashiEgfon-The senate fight over
the league Of nations was brought TO
more direct issue on June 10. with
the Introduction Of resolution by
-Senator Knox, Republican, OF Pennsyl-
vania. proposing that the senate give
formal notice 10 the peace conference
of opposition 10 be expected should
the peace treaty be submitted for rati-
fication IN its present form.
Senator Knox, a member of the for
eign relations committee and former
secretary OF state. drafted the reso-
luton after conference with other
league opponents and presented it with
the apparent support of those who
have led in criticism of the league
covenant He expected TO crystalize
opposition sentiment as did Senator
Lodge with the circulation of the
round robbin in the closing hours Of
the last senate.
While declaring for immediate con-
clusion OF treaty dealing with direct
issues Of the war only, the resolution
contains far-reaching proposal which
would law II down as "A policy of the
American government that whenever
.he freedom and peace of Europe is
threatened, the United States win con

in the removal of that menace.
Decision as TO acceptance of mem

that the lack of authority by the
treaty-making power Of the govern
ment 10 make a treaty which in effect
amends the American constitution.
The resolution is sure to open a new
chapter ia The league of nations fight

Country by Reporter Ordered Into

a fiye-hour fight. ordered IL printed in

AT the same time IL got under way
the Investigation OF how copies have
reached private hands in New York by
summOning 10 testify half-dozen of
the country's leading financiers.
The copy, which went into the rec
ord, was brought To this country by a
newspaper man, and WAS presented by
Senator Borah. Republican. of Idaho,
just after the reading OF cablegram
from President Wilson saying he could
not, without breaking faith. send TO
the senate the text of the treaty.
The effect of the days history-mak-
ing developments was TO clear the air
on the much-debated subject of pub
licity for the treaty text, TO widen the
breach between the president and the
senate majority, and 10 forecast sen
sational turn for the inquiry into the
manner by which copies Of the docu-
ment have become available TO unau-
thorized persons.

unexpected vigor. the foreign relations

convened. voted to call before IL J. 7.

house Jacob Schiff, of Kuhn. Loeb x
company; and Paul Warburg, formerly
connected with the same concern, and
Frank A. Vanderbilt, former president
of the National City bank. 1t then ex-
amined Frank L. Polk, acting secretary
OF state, about the official copies in the
state department vaults.
Statements also were made to the
committee by Senator Lodge. Republi-
can. OF Massachusetts. and Senator
Borah similar to their declarations in
the senate that they knew Of copies in
New York. but could not divulge the
names Of their lnformants.
When the senate met IL listened In
silence TO President wilson's cable
gram. which was taken as forecasting
a refusal to comply with the request
for the treaty text embodied in reso-
luton adopted Friday. The reading Of
this message concluded. Senator Borah
Immediately presented his copy of the
treaty, which was ordered printed by
a vote of AZ TO "a.
President Wilson in cablegram re-
ceived by Senator Hitchcock of Ne
braska. Democrat. said he hoped the
investigation by the senate foreign re
Iatlons committee Of how copies Of the
peace treaty reached private interests
in New York would be most thorough
ly prosecuted"
The president said he had felt IT
"was highly undesirable officially to
communicate the text Of a document
which is still in negotiation and sub
iect to change" and that anyone who
had possession Of the official English
text has what he is clearly not en-
titled to have or to communicate.
