thing appertaining to the town 5
welfare. Judge Power also spoke
aboutl the absence Of the mer-
chants and expressed his regret
that the real business men would
take no interest in civic matters.
The chairman then asked our
former fellow-citizen Mr.. Joseph
Davis of st. Maria, California to
say 4 few words about his impress
sionA of New iberia. The gentle
man sealled the attention Of those
present sto the way things are
donefin California in the way Of
boosting and identifying cities,
and lollr like Of civic pride. He
said he was proud however to say
that he found the citizens here
this year more cheerful abont
the future of New iberia than OH
his visit two years ago. though it
was very apparent we had not yet
awakened up to our possibilities.
What is needed here he said was
a live Chamber Of Commerce with
a hired secretary who had nothing
else to do. but get out literature
and look for big things for. the
City. Every town in California
had a paid man to DO nothing else
but boost. and it would pay us to
wake up and advertise our resour-
ces Mr.. Davis also spoke of the
East Main Street in New Iberia.
He said in al his travels there was
not prettier avenue in the Uni
ted States. Yet he found un.
slightly fences and dirty yards ia
many places that made it an eye
sore and We should have. civic
pride enough to take down the

Fronts Of store buildings, espec-
tally those unoccupied. should be

Short talks were also made by
others and it was the sense Of the
meeting that every citizen Of New
Iberia from the managers Of bar
Der shops to the bankers should be
on hand next Tuesday evening at
seven o'clock to take steps to form
a live Chamber Of Commerce.

vitation. AT the meeting last
Monday it was very noticeable
that there was but six business
houses represented. As long a
there is such indifference, We
cannot hope to have New liberia
pushed forward. Every citizen
should do his share and show his
interest by being on hand at the
time above mentioned. Il il time
now for real cooperation among
our citizens, IN that way only car
we accomplish big things.

punish the nations that have commit ted the most terrible crimes known to modern times, at least, by naking the people of these nations work only that they may pay.
 Among the saddest sights to be found in the battle areas of Europe today is the lonely grave, the little cross that stands by itself and marks the spot where soldier met death by stray shell. There were many, many thousands of these seen along the sides of the thousand miles of road ways 1 covered in Belgium and north ern France, and in very many cases they marked the spot where Il German shell had caught il transport driver as he guided his truck to or from the front The boys who lie in these lone ly graves were heroic American boys, heroic French boys, heroic British boys. and they have paid the great price that the Roche might not de- stroy the freedom of the world. They gave their all. and whatever the Roche may be made to pay will be small in comparison with this sacrifice.
 Near what Was the city of Noyon one may see striking comparison be tween the methods of the Boehe and those of the nations that have been fighting the Germans Here He buried side by side both French and German soldiers.

SPARR0WS' NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All Ar feeted by Noise. Birds Make
 Home There.

A large tramp steamer had been towed into a northeast coast port for repairs After having discharged her cargo of grain. she was placed in dry dock, situated In the middle of Il
 arge ship-repairing establishment, with all the usual accompaniment of noise from pneumatic hammers steam whistles, shouting of men, and other noises common to all such works.
 The grain, If which there k always a good deal left about after the holds are swept up, attracted the sparrows in large numbers, and, as if guided by instinct, they commenced to build nests in various parts of the ship. Undeterred hy the noise or by the constant going and coming of the workmen, they reared their broods before the repairs were completed. and the vessel sailed. This Is believed to be q unique case. for although the sparrow is q bold bird. 1t needed some pluck to undertake home building in such circumstances. The workmen ad- mired the pluck of these boisterous, cheeky birds, and watched the proceed ings to the flight of the young birds with great interest

Severe Lesson for Germany.

German money cannot pay for those lives. but that spirit of greed, of wan tonness. of selfish ambition, that pro duced the senseleSs. needless war in which they died. must be crushed, and fl can be crushed only by making the German pay, and pay. and pay, until he has learned that might Is not right and that war for the purposes of con quest and domination k not profitable.
 An American regiment to which had belonged some years ago and in which were enrolled many personal friends. had fought on thaf field AS I walked beside the long rows of wooden crosses. and knew Chat somc of them marked the resting places of my friends feit as my other Amcri- can would have felt under the same conditions, that Germauy must pay in order that Germany should learu thUt might is net right
 am sure that every father, every mother, every brother. every sister, every relative and friend of those American boys who are buried on Eu- ropean hattlefelds will feel that Ger many must pay and pay heavily for the desolation she has caused through out the world.
 There Is on the Somme hattlenelds, not far from what once was the beau tlful little city of Peronne, q soldiers cemetery in which British troops are buried. On each little wooden cross had been painted the name of the sol dier buried beneath it, as we'll as the letter of his company and the number of his battalion. In the oHrush of the Huns last March this cemetery was taken. and the wanton cruelty of the Boehe is nowise better Illustrated than by the fact that he went through that cemetery and painted out the names of these British dead.

SENATE FAILS ID
 PASS FAMINE BILL
Carrying $1OO,OOO,O0O Appropriation For European Relief; Vote Expect od MOnday


 ed Monday.
 Washington, Jan. 1S.-After many hours of debate, the Senate failed to- night to reach vote on the bill, al ready passed by the House, appropria- ting $1OOO0O for European famine re lief, as urged by President Wilson.
 Despite the outspoken opposition of some members, Republican, and Democratic leaders expressed the be- lief that the measure would be put through Monday. They had hoped to pass it before adjournament tonight.
 Democratic leader Martin and Sena- tor Lodge spoke in favor of the meas ure, while Senators Borah, of Idaho, and Kenyon of Iowa, Republicans, led the opposition. Senators Myers, of Montana, Democrat, also said he could not give the bill his support
 The opposition largely was based on alleged lack of authority by Con- gress to appropriate money raised from the people by taxation, for Flu ropean charity.
 Objection to feeding peoples of enc my countries also was raised and the Senate adopted an amendment by Senator Lodge, adding Austria, Tur- key and Bulgaria, besides Germany, to the countries, when shall not share in distribution of the funds. The Lodge amendment provides, however, that it shall not prevent food distrbu- tion to the peoples of Armenia, Syria, Greece and the Christian and Jewish peoples under the yoke of enemy gov ernments.
 During the debate,> Hebert Hoover, American Food Administrator, was sharply attacked by Senators Borah and Kenyon, who charged that his ad- ministration had favored the meat packing interests. Under MT. Hoov- CTS administration, Senator Borah said, the packers had made larger profits in 1917 than ever before.
