| tion, which would be justified, more.
| over, by the immense benefit to be
| derived from disarmament, so much
so that on one will understand the con-
tinuation of similar carnage solely for
| reasons of an economic order.
If for certain cases there exist par
ticular reasons, they should be deliber
ated upon with justice and equity, but
these pacific agreements, with the inn.
mense advantages to be derived from
them, are. not possible without a
reciprocal restitution of the territory
at present occupied.
The complete evacuation Of Belgium
on the part of Germany, with the
guarantee of her full political, military
and economic independence.
The evacuation of French territory
on the part of other belligerent parties
and similar restitution of the German
colonies.
AS regards the territorial questions,
as, for example, those which have
arisen between Italy and Austria and
between Germany and France, there is
reason to hope that in consideration
of the immense advantages of a dur
able peace with disarmament the par
ties in conflict would wish to examine
them with a conciliatory disposition,
taking into consideration, as we nave
said formerly, the aspirations Of the
peoples and the special interests and
the general welfare of the great human
society
The same spirit of equity and JUS
tice ought to be followed in the exam
ination of other territorial and politi-
cal questions, notably those relative
to Armenia and the Balkan states and
territories making the ancient King
dom of Poland, whose noble and his
torical traditions and the sufferings
which it has endured, especially the
present war, ought to conciliate the
sympathies of nations.
Future Wars Impossible.
Such are the principal bases
whereon we believe the future reor-
ganization of the peoples ought to be
built. They are of a nature to render
impossible the return to similar con-
fiicts, and to prepare solution of the
economic purpose SO important for
the future and for the material we'll
being of all belligerent states.
Therefore, in presenting to You, who
the belligerent nations, we are
animated to see these principles ac-
cepted and to see thus the conclusion
at an early date of the terrible
struggle.
Incline your ears therefore to our
prayer. Accept the fraternal invita-
tion which we send you in the name
of the Divine Redeemer, the Prince
of Peace. Reflect on your very grave
responsibility before God and before
man.
On your decision depend the repose
and the JOY of innumerable families,
| the life of thousands of young people,
in word, the happiness OF a people
for whom it is your absolute duty to
obtain their welfare.

| May God grant that while meriting
| the applause of our contemporaries
you will also obtain in the future gen.
erations a splendid name of pacifi-
Gator.
AS for us, closely united in prayer
and in penitence with all those faith
full souls which sigh for peace, we i'm.
| plore forIyou the light and counsel of
| the Divine Spirit.

UNITED STATES TIRE NEWS

Tires are so important a part of
the equipment of an automobile, that
the experienced motorist does not
care to lose his money or his temper
making experiments. He buys tires
that have proved their worth after
years of testing, and leaves it to 9TH
ers to shoulder the expense of trying
out the novelties that come and go.
1t is In this fact that the United
States Tire Company finds the explain
alton for its steadily mounting sales
among those who want good tires.
Present day efficiency demands
that the automobile owner keep a
careful account of all his costs and
that he know the exact performance
of each tire. It is among this class of
buyers that the United States Tire
Company finds its best customers.
Many large corporations, which have
reduced their tire buying to a science
and place their orders where they get
the most service for the money, use
United States tires exclusively Adv,

During Winters hoary reign.

Till we almost gave up hope,
And the doctors combed their attics
Rakiug up all sorts of dope.
Now Winter time gives place to May,
T And the birds begin to carol,
And the hens begin to lay
And the clouds drip by the barrel /!
We have helped to feed the Nations
Far across the deep blue sea.
We no longer skimp our rations
But can help the w II. c.
So today it gives US pleasure
To bring a basket full to you.
In it are all sorts of treasure
From your friends who are true

So we bring you this nice token
To remember the Relief Corps.

And shout and play and sing
For old Winters out of the saddle
And the new drivers Spring.

"OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF
MIND

While all motorists may not be
in the class with the chap who
takes an actual delight in spend-~
ing all his spare time tinkering
about the garage, most of them
have some knowledge of the in
ner and outer workings of their
cars. They know that spark
plugs must be cleaned, valves
must be ground, that carbon
should not be allowed to aceumu-
late in cylinders, that the gear
box must be kept filled with
grease. and that even so matter
of fact thing as a tire appreci-
ates O change of air. But accord
ing to Mr.. William +. Moss,
manager of the local "Exide'
Service Station. the average mo-
torist knows practically nothing
of his battery except that it is
there to furnish current for
starting and lighting.
"A mighty wise man. said
Mr.. Moss, asserted years ago
that few people realized they had
stomach unless it gave them
trouble, and similar statement
would apply equally well in con-
nection with starting and light
ing batteries. With the bat
terry, it's matter of "out of
sight, out of mind; the battery
works on uncomplainingly until
the last ounce of strength is eX-
hausted; then come trouble and
big repair bill.
All large battery troubles are
small in the beginning, and
small battery troubles can be
readily avoided if the battery is
looked over regularly by COM
petent experts. Some motorists
unfortunately take the attitude
that 1.-THE battery is there to
start the ear, and start the 1t
must" without realizing that the
neglected battery, no matter how
well constructed. loses efficiency
under the tremendous strain that
is put upon it, Others feel that
it would be ''too much trouble
to have the battery inspected at
regular intervals. yet these same
men would not think Of allowing
their watches to run down before
reminding them.
when motorists thoroughly
appreciate the great saving of
time. money and annoyance
which follows the regular inspec-
ton of their batteries, we Will
see a remarkable, countrywide
increase in starting and lighting
efficiency. Many of the best in
formed motorists in town now
come to our service station at
least once month and have
their batteries thoroughly looked
over We take care of all
makes of batteries in this way.
In times gone by. these same men
brought their batteries to US only
when something was wrong,
but they have learned that the
power and punch originally built
into their batteries can best be
kent there by expert inspection

ators who have been fighting the
bill and by other opponents, and
assurance also has been received
from house leaders that they
would approve the licensing liml-
tation. The compromise arrived
at provides for retention of proyi-

TON ON POLL TAXES.

In order to get an opinion from
Attorney General Coco, relative
to soldiers voting without poll
taxes, Secretary Isidore W. Ga
ian of the Parish Democratic FIX
ecutive Committee received the
following opinion with respect
thereto which we reproduce for
the benefit of our ex-soldiers who
wish to participate in the Demo-
cratic primary:
$50 if the clause be construed
to mean that all persons who en-
listed in the military service of
the United States may vote pro-
vided that they shall have paid all
poll taxes assessed against them
after their discharge, then all
such persons in the Parish of Or
leans who were discharged IN
1918 would be entitled to vote
without having paid poll taxes for
the year 1919 for the reason that
no assessment of such taxes has
been made since that time and
they would be entitled to continue
to vote without the payment of
poll taxes until such time as such
will have been made.
1t would follow also in case of per-
sons living in different parishes
where lists Of those liable for the
of poll taxes may have
been prepared and filed, some
would be entitled to vote and
others would not. even though
they were discharged on the same
day, the question Of their right to
vote depending under such con-
on the varying times
when lists were filed.
sin view of the conditions as
stated, it becomes clear that the
clause can not have certain and
uniform application unless the
word assessed" as used be coa-
strued as having the meaning Of
levied" The clause would.
therefore, read in effect that all
