LOUISIANA WAR RECORD

In compiling a history Of SOL

tions:

lowed by comma. then the first

navy serial number Identification
number) if possible.
Parish Town and Address: Be
sure to state the parish, as the
man has to be credited to the par
ish from which he actually entered
service. If he has lived prac-
tically all Of his life ir another
parish, state that fact under addi-
tional information and his name
will be kept in q supplementary
index in his home parish. This
is necessary in order to avoid DUP
lication in the State files.
Give the mans last address or
address of nearnest kin; if the
latter, make q notation Of that
fact under additional informa-
ton.
Personal Record: The fathers
and mothers names are desired
whether living or dead. and if
living, give their addresses-the
town and state only are desired
here. Give the mothers first
nam. maiden name and present
name. as Mary Jones Baker.
Color: State white. black. In
dian or Oriental as the case may
be-.
IF the man has had more than
one occupation previous to the
war the last one only will be re
qnired. Note employers name il
possible.
Under additional Data" a,l
outline of the most important
things in the history Of the man is
desired: such as battles he took
mart in. distinctions received,

KAISER SAYS HE PREFERS
SUICIDE TO BEING TRIED.

The former kaiser says the
sinking OF the Lusitania was a
great blunder. and that he has
never ceased to regret it.
Of the killing Of Edith Cavell
ne says the order was given by a
drunken general, and that when
he learned of it he sent word to
headquarters that no woman
should be shot without his pers-
onal sanction.
He declares he was set against
war, and that Nicholas and
George did not want war;" How
ever, he lays all the blame On Rus
sia for the world catastrophe.
His argument is that the riy-
airy in the Balkans between Rus
sia and Austria led to the confict
of 1914, and that Russia betrayed
the world. He denies with a
kind Of fierce ridicule that there
was any war party in Germany.
The former emperor vows he
will kill himself rather than face
trial. He saws he has made his
mistakes. but that he is answer
able only to God.
AS to the future of the world,
the former kaiser entertains the
conviction that everything prec-
ious in human life is now menaced
with destruction by the evid for
ces of the world.
As for GERMANY. he says he is
convinced that she will rise in
righteousness and power from the
ashes Of inescapable defeats III
Cured in defendine her freedom
from a world in arms.

COEVE NTION

The 1919 session Of the State
Convention of Maccabees took
place in our little City last Mon
day. There were some forty OF
more delegates present and the
session was most harmonious
one despite the fact that all Of the
business, such as election of State
officers and the choosing of Rep
resentatives to the National Con-
vention to be held in Chicago was
concluded in one day.
State Commander M. J. Bulger
of New Orleans called the Con-
vention to order, after which the
invocation was offered by Rev. j.
NJ. Lanelois, the rector of st.
Peters Catholic church. Hon.
Porteus R. Burke was chosen to
deliver the address of welcome
which he did in his usual brilliant
manner. The response was made
by Hon. Francis Knoblock Of
Thibodaux who was also equal to
the occasion. After transacting
the routine business Of that strong
fraternal Order the election of Of
ficers was then taken up with the
following result:
