No Attractions for
Fourth Celebration

Bogalusa started a little late this
year to get any attraction for the 4th
of July celebration, which would keep
Bogalusa folks at home and bring in
several hundred visitors.
Major Guerre speHs considerable
time in trying to secure an airplane,
but all machines in this vicinity were
booked for that date, as were all of
the other big attractions.
The finance committee reported
that funds were not being subscribed
due to the fact that no definite pro-
gram could be announced, and in
view of the great Home Coming cele-
bration, which Bogalusa proposes to
give the returned soldiers, sailors
and marines, possibly the early part
Of August, resulted in the commit
tee appointed for the celebration to
abandon their plans for this year.

France WinDernand
Reparatlon In Full

Paris, June 25.-France has de-
cided to require complete reparation
from Germany for the sinking Of the
German warships at Scapa Flew.
This announcement was made by NJ.
Leygues, minister of marine, to the
naval committee of the Chamber Of
Deputies yesterday afternoon. Hes
declared the act of the Germans vip-
lated both the armistice and the
peace treaty.
Paris, June 23.-The 20 German
war vessels, surrendered to the Allies
and interned at Scapa Flow, did not
have red flags flying when they
were sent to the bottom by their
crews last week, according to adj
vices received today by the Ameri-
can peace delegation. The ships car
ried the old imperial German ensign.
The advices say also that the Ger
man admiral in command made a
statement which, although mutilated
in transmission, is construed as say
ing he debated the question Of sinls
ing the ships, but acted finally Gin
the interest of civilization"
The sinking Of the German war
ships, Il was apparent today, does not
affect the general situation regard
ing peace with Germany. There is
no indication that the act of the Ger
mans win enter into the proceedings
at the present stage or cause q reop-
ening Of the negotiations.
While the act is generally de
1ounced as a violation of the arrnis-
tice technically, if not actually, in
British and American circles no
marked regret is expressed.
In French quarters, however, there
is understood to be considerable feel
ing, which it is expected will reflect
itself in Italian circles. France and
Italy have been opposing the much
discussed plan Of sinking the Ger
man fleet, which was favored suiS
posedly by the Americans and Brit
ish.
