exhibitions they desired J and t allow them to take advantage of the athletic training they had received while in the servicce. It was for this reason alone that the bill ''got by'' with the usual thin majority, and the various soldiers clubs began to make plans that would include legal ized boxing. The bill once wore the emergency clause, but at some point in it's stoney career it got lost.
 When the bill went into the Governors hands It's immediate death was expected, but the Governor permitted the bill to become a law without signature upon the suggestion which ap- parent1y encompassed the bill, that it was intended to benefit the eX-service men. It has been said that a committee appeared before the Governor and plead for the life of the bill. This is more than likely, in fact, such would have been an entirely or dinary thing to do.
 sAs soon as the law permitted, the Phoenix Great War Feter- ans Association staged a bout that marked the open season. Then a clique of promoters seized the opportunity ard be- gan to slaughter the game by murderous commercialization of boxing bouts far beyond the widest dreams of the leglsla- tors and the Governor.
 No fault can rightly lie at the door of the capital building. It is not a political issue. It is sim ply case where both parties overshot the mark when they tried to create a law that might have been of inestimable value to to ex-soldier.
 But the law is doomed. Its repeal will be among the first acts of the next session.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

This papaer takes the oppor- tunity to dedicate it's columns to the use of the American Legion. Because the NEWS believes in the future of that organization, because it believes in just those thags that the ex-service men stand for and have so emphati- cally represented in the recent labor lawlessness, and because it believes in those same prin- paper humbly dedicates itself to perpetuate the ideals of the American Legion.
 The NEWS has no commec- tion with the American Legion. It does not seek hereby special favor. It does not seek influence with it's membership. It begs only to serve.
 It begs only to contribute to- ward the objects it will achieve and to commemorate forever and ever the comrades of these legionnaires who lie sleeping. in the fields of France, their rest ing places having been washed in blood and made holy through sacrifice.
 These, the righteous dead, shall march on and on in the for the children of the World and their children's children, preserving the civilization for which every generation of the i world has laid war.

ENGLAND'S PART

The LOS AngeIeS EXaInluoI has embraced every opportun- ity during the past few weeks to exhibit it's petty jealousy of Great Briton's part in the great war and belittle things that savor of he British Empire. It would seem that, a more con- servative policy and little of plain ordinary acknowledge ment of England's efforts would be much more constructive to- ward more friendly feeling between the two great nations, and closer diplomatic harmony could but result.
 A great difference of opinion exists in this country of ours as to the economic condition of Great Britan at the time that America declared war. As to whether she had reached the point of exhaustion is a ques- tion to be decided only upon careful reflection. One thing is certain. The German horde, had it passed, would have walk ed over the dead bodies of the last of the Britishers. Every one of them, without a single exception, woul have lain down his life to obstruct the passage of the enemy.
 The bulk of the British Army crossed the channel during the night of August 12, six days af- ter war had been declared on Germany. They went into a new country they had sacrce heard Of, ready to do or to die because. England expected every man to do his duty. Beyond the shores of France was a great darkness and mystery. This heroic lit tie army, a mere handful of fighters, for their king and Il .eir country, went forward to crush that terrible thing" ill the be- yond.
 Meanwhile, back in England, Kitchner had called for 100000 volunteers to support the army which had by then met the thing and had been slaugh. tered. In less than three days the ranks of the first volunteer army had been filled. Strong men wept like babies, when they found that they could not sign up at once. Each was ready, each was willing.
 The battle of the Mons on August 23 found the British ignorant of the ways of war, as it was to be waged during the next four years. They were confronted with 1SO,O0O train ed Germans and were driven back leaving 5000 of their number dead and dying on that costly territory:
 Undaunted, England renew ed her herculean efforts. She gave freely of her sons until a man in civilian clothes was not to be seen in her streets. To her stacker offspring she gave prison sentences, long periods of solitary confinement, that their contemptable cowardice should not contaminate the I spirits of her noble fighters.
 In all she had 7,50O,000 men under arms. She lost in action 658,665 lives. Her total cas- ualties were 3,O49,991. That means that nearly one half of her entire army paid a stern price for the part each played during the war, lasting for four years, three months and seven days.

RACE PREJUDICE

IN SUPPORT OF THE RACE POLICY WHICH SOON

ment that of direct contact and agreement IN the ad-
iusment of mutual problems between the intelligent OF
the races great credit is due to the Rev. John F. Thomas,
pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church for the last thirty
three years.
There coming to his attention evidence of the acvi-
ties of the w. W. among the colored people, bold en-
deavors to stir up race preudlce ncng 10 violence ana

and Incorporate conduct of the ignorant OF both races
which inspires race riots that these things are reprehens1
BILE in the eyes of the thoughtful and intelligent OF both
races that these intelligent persons recognize that only
through sound processes and sincere discussions can
there be desirable result achieved.
|. W. w. propaganda is a poisonous undertaking,
seeking not to create the desire for thoughtful under
standings but to inst and more hatred to project
into an already intricate problem elements that will not
solve it. but render it acd and bring not peace but
inevitable and disastrous conflict
The Reverend Thomas is of the intelligent of his
race who has keen realization Of this. He and those
teach their people the intelligent whites must teach
theirs that violence will only multiply violence and
through education only danger be averted.
The l. w. w. brand Of propaganda seeks to estab-
h contact Of violence The cO0red people represented
by Reverend Thomas are trying to establish contact by
sympathetic understandings; by making all people real
lie that the negro has real problem on his hands and
that he must fix himself in the opinion of the world by

AS THE SUMMER WAVES AND MORE AND MORE
of the boys who have fought in the army and navy come
home becomes ripper subject of concern as to how best
to render unto them the thanks OF Bogasa 1t is certainly
proper that some memorial should be erected per-
peta reminder that Bogalusa did her part in the great
war; and the city commissioners have already taken steps
looknglto that end But monument in brass or bronze
or marble is not enough The feelings of human hearts
must find uterance in more vivid manner Steam just
must escape or something viii blow up. Therefore it is
not simply good thing 10 plan and carry out great
Homecoming Day for Soldiers and Sailors, but it is
cessity.
That committee, headed by Hon. E. H. Cassidy, has
been formed composed of the very choice Of the
town. and entrusted with the responsibility of working out
the details of great celebration is certainly the right be-
ginning That the celebration will be supported by the
money of the Masses and not by the uncertain method Of
selling concessions is another proper step That every
sailor and soldier in Washington parish is to be invited
and entertained from the time he reaches Bogalusa until
he leaves for home is an act OF hospitality that IS worthy
of Bogausa. That the attractions are to include every
thing from peanut peddler to airplane crcng the
sky an Indication that this celebration is to De some day
The Enterprise offers but two suggestions The first
is that the readers of the Enterprise mail at once to E. H.
Cassidy the name and address of very soldier and sailor
relative they have residing in Bogausa or who went into
the war from Washington parish Second that any SOL
der or sailor was killed. wounded incapacitated be-
cause of disease or accident while in the service his
