structed, with drainage basins
more or less filed, the drainage
of Concordia parishfs infinitely
worse now than it was when the
Indians dwelr here.
The purpose of the Progressive
league is to agitate all these
questions, and mould public
opinioniin the right direction SO
that by common effort we shall
have better citizenship, better
schools, roads and lands-in a
word-a better Parish. A noble
purpose, indeed, and one not
impossible of attainment if our
people will put their shoulders
to the wheel of progress
and all push together. The
Sentinel welcomes this move
ment and predicts for it a glorious
success, a success to which it
shall take pleasure in contributing
in every way in its power.

NOT JOLLY READING MOST
ESSENTIAL.

Death statistics are never
pleasant to read. Quite as much
so are they unpopular as topics
iof conversation. They make
gloomy discussion. Mention, for
instance, in an assemblage
of your friends that tubers
culosis, which is both preventable
and durable, kills 150,00 persons
every year in the United States,
of which Louisiana alone supply
more than 5000 victims. What
is the effect of your remark ?
Forget it," some one inter-
poses, with almost brutal flip
pancy, Let's talk about some
thing cheerful.
Yet the fact remains that death
statistics-especially those con-
corning the Great White
Plague would not be near so
gruesome, both as topics for
reading and discussion, if we
made ourselves a little more
familiar with them. Only by
thorough knowledge of what a
murderer tuberculosis is can we
be aroused to the terrors of its
ravages, and the immediate ne
cessity of organized effort to
wipe out the Nations physical
blight.

PrOfesfs Against
"SoLdiering'' To
Signify Loofng

Ihat old josh song which had the
refraln to the effect that every Day
IN the Army Is Like Sunday On the
Earm has lost all point since the
United States Army began to prepare
to attack the Boche. and then did at
tack and contribute so largely to his
complete defeat. For similar reasons
tne oId verb ito soldier" has lost its
significance as q synonym for hotter
ing or dawdling on the JOB, and it is
Deing resented by officers and men.
Inc tate of this verb is a curious and
interesting study for those interested
IN the development of language and
tne rise and fall of words. Attention
mas been brought to the subject by
Lt.-Col. Walter ]. Buttgenbach, C. A.
e., in the following timely letter to
Ine Army and Navy Journal:

Pershing Praises

During q recent informal tour of
inspection of the 7. M. C. A. hostel

General Pershing addressed the sew

lobby of the Hotel du Pavilion more
as q father would address his sons

MONAHAN-APRIL IA :.
'T may not have the opportunity of
meeting you boys again. he said to
them. Il may not have the oppor-
tunity to meet your comrades In your
units as you return to them. but
want you to carry back with you these
messages. I appreciate the way you
have fought. You have been true
soldiers and brave men, and as an
Army ofYicer l want you to know that
my hope is that you will return to
America as clean, morally and physi-
cally as you came to France. The
Y. M. G. A. and other organizations
are making that possible by equip
ping places like this In which you
now are. know that you appreciate
the Y. M. C. A. or this room would
not be crowded at 4:30 in the after
noon. / want you to know that as
commanding offlcer Of the American
forces / appreciate the work that IS
being done by the Y. n. c. A., and
hope that when you return to your
units you will carry back with you the
message of that common appreciation
mine and your own"
Although Paris Is three day
leave area" into which four hundred
officers and eight hundred enlisted
men come daily, 1t is still considered
somewhat Of an experiment, and Cen
eral Pershing has shown a great deal
of interest In seeing what accommo-
dations and amusements were avail
able for the soldier. Paris, one must
remember, is not only the gayest city
on earth, again, but 1t is the most
expensive city right now, and but for
the Y. M. C. A. and other agencies
the average soldier could not spend
the night within her gates.
On this particular day General Per
shing followed the track OF the
doughboy from 1 A. M. until p. M.
He visited the big "Y" canteen At
ILongchamps in the Bois de Boulogne,
whore the M. P. of Paris take their
time of duty, he dropped into the
Hotel Rochester. which is for enlisted
men. the OfIicers Club at 81 Avenue
IMontaigne and the Palais de Glace,
the biggest Y. II. C. A. hut" on the
continent, where 1900 men play
daily, and 5000 meals are served.
At the Palais de Glace he found q
tine axteading from the ca1teen coun-
ter out to the door waiting to be
served. The General went along this
lime OF hungry men talking with them
about their leave and the accommo-
dations they were finding, shook
hands with Is Red Cross girls dining
lin the restaurant, and commented on
the fact that in addition TO the Amer
leans there were French. British.
Polish, Serbian, and Italian soldiers
seated about the tables. Finally Cen
eral Pershing went to the Hotel Rich
mond, a ~" hostelry for officers. and
thence to the Hotel Pavilion, where
ne was not recognised until he shook
hands with a "Y" girl who was stand
ing on the steps watching the soldiers
dfscmbark1Dg from the sight seeing

for some time past in the lumber
market something was expected to
happen and we are informed that
the market has closed with very
little probability Of it opening be-
fore spring. Transit shipments is
assigned as the main cause for the
action of the wholesalers and it is
well worth the time of the saw mill
operators to begin studying the re-
suits Of putting their shipments in
transit. Nothing effects the market
quicker than this way of handling
