pers in Winning
the War
Y. M. C. A. Officials Speaks to
Soldiers on Newspapers and
Men Back of Them"

That the war could not have been
won without the newspapers of the
United States was the statement of
Fred B. Appleget, newly appointed
associate executive secretary of the
Southern Department of the Army Y.
M. c. A. in a recent address to the
soldiers in Camp Trevis, Texas. The
address was one of series being
given on special subjects by experts
to the soldiers in Y building No. 81
who have organized an educational
forum.
Mr. Appleget, who was New York
editor and had been in newspaper and
magazine work in New York for fif-
teen years prior to his entering the
war, had been asked to give an ad-
dress on Newspapers and the Men
Back of Them" He said that the
newspaper men during the war were
one of the greatest allies of the al
lies and materially helped to whip
the Kaiser.
Next to the American Army it.
self. no single force in the country
has been so great and valuable. no
other power has done so much to
crush the Hun and bring peace and
liberty to the world than tn Jews
papers of this country" col inued
Mr.. Appleget. "Of an the forces
back of the lines. the press hs been
the most indispensable and thH most
powerful and helpful.
II like to think of all the Red
Cross. the Y. M. c. A., the Knights
of Columbus and all the other organ
izations have done to help win the
war. and they have done wonders;
but without the support of the news
papers of the country they could
have gone but little way. The
press has been the big brother of
all the organizations. of all the move
ments and of all efforts. 1t has been
the. right hand of the president him
self.
"The country was loyal and brave
but it hardly knew it until the news
papers told it so. It's patriotism had
got a little shop worn-the newspa-
pers took it out and busted it off
and it looked as good as new. The
nation was generous. but it had
grown bashful about giving until the
papers took it in hand and showed
it that it was the most glorious giver
in all the history of charity or fl
nance since the first coin was minted
"Not only that. but with the COM
ing of peace and the rehabilitation
of the armies, the press will take the
first line trenches and from now on.
the brunt of the great battle for free
dom and right and democracy will
be borne by it. On the newspapers
of the land will largely depend the
permanency and value of the victo-
ry which our armies have won with
80 great sacrifice"

Tugs to Bringm Oil
Tanker Stuck N !.
Channel
Carrier from Mexico Has 10000
Barrels of Oil Aboard;
May Come In Today

Inc MexOfl, large tanker belong
ing to the Texas Oil Co., is stuck in
a shallow point in the Atchafalaya
ship channel out near the Gulf with
a cargo Of 10000 barrels of oil aboard.
The ship had been at the mouth of
the channel for several days and was
waiting for a pilot to take her in.
The Chamber of Commerce raked the
city over for pilot, but none could
be located. Mr.. Geo. T. Goodman
offered his services to bring the big
boat in, and went out in the U. S.
Mail Boat Dorothy Saturday after
noon, staying with the ship until
Monday. Mr.. Goodman started in
with the boat and was bringing her
in under her own power when the
shallow point was reached.
1t is thought that the tanker will
come in today under tow of two gov
ernment tugs that are due in Morgan
City to take out couple of the ships
recently finished at the Emergency
Fleet shipyard here. The tugs have
to pass the Mexoil on their way here,
and they have been advised by wire
of the tanker's distress.
The filling up Of the channel is
caused by the fact that it has not been
used for some time, and unless it is
in constant use, the sediment gathers
and gradually fills up. The churn-
ing of the tugs in pulling the Mexoil
off of the mud will tend to clear
that particular part, and the use of
the channel at least once a week by
a vessel of the Mexoil's capacity
will continually keep it clear.
1t is to the interest of every citi-
zen of Morgan City to strain every
effort to have the government keep
this channel in good condition. Nor
gan City is port of entry, and is the
most advantageous on the gulf to
southwestern shippers. This fact
has been realized by the Texas Oil
Co., who find that they save a ship
ping distance of ESQ miles by send
ing their vessels to this point to un-
load. The exploitation of the chan
mel will mean the development of
Morgan City. Other corporations of
national prominence are watching the
possibilities of the Atchafalaya chan
mel with view to establishing ship
ping terminals here. The Chamber
of Commerce should not lose an OPP
portunity to assist them in their ex-
periments. This policy should be
adopted by every one in order that
the outside world may be awakened
to the possibilities offered here.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been carrying out an advertising CAM
paign to attract foreign capital. Ads
are now. appearing in prominent mex
lean journals stressing the desirabili-
ty of shipping to Morgan City.
Morgan City's suitability as . ship
ping terminus for ocean freighters il
