DREADNAUGHTS

oiled at Colon this afternoon she
swung lazily into Limon bay whence
she took the two ships part of the
way to the dam, creeping slowly
through the first cuttings of the
waterway amid dense jungle growth
like some weird amphibian in a pre-
historic swamp.
Nearing the locks, the crew flung
landing lines overheard, which
quickly drew inboard steel cables
running on tracks on each side of
the locks. The whole operation
seemed to function automatically,
for not an order was heard as the
dreadnaughts slid into the lower
locks as easily as a shuttle into a
sewing machine.
Rapidly as Row Boat
The steel gates astern the flag
ship then closed like great jaws and
churnlng water rose up from via
duets in the bottom of the lock,
while the New Mexico was lifted
as easily and rapidly as a row boat
The flagship was then lifted out of
the next two locks in the same fash
ion while crowds standing on top
of the concrete lock walls threw ba-
nanas and cocoanuts at the ships
crew.
Twenty destroyers went through
the canal Thursday, passing through
the locks in groups of ten. Captain
IWlnlng, chief of staff, said that
the canal had proved its naval value
beyond a doubt, as dreadnaughts
may be easily moved from the At
lantic to the Pacific with celerity
and without trouble as shown by
to-day's operation.
The Pacific fleet will leave Pana-
ma for San Diego, Cal. Sunday
night.

Wiremen May be Aided
By New Strike

1t appearing from the fact that the
Western Union and the Postal Tele-
graph Companies are giving full and
undelayed service, that strike order
of the President of the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union is ineffective, a
sympathetic strike of the Brother
hood of Electrical workers has been
called throughout the United States
for Monday. 1t is said that this
brotherhood has a membership of
265,OO0 skilled workers and that those
responsible for the calling of the wire
strike are hopeful that this extension
of the strike will aid in the accom-
plishment of their purposes.
In this connection it seems rather
remarkable that. if. as seems to be
the case, only a very small persent-
age of the 10000 or more members
of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union feel that their grievance is suf-
ficiently serious to justify them in
striking, their leaders should feel
warranted in going to the extent of
asking another and a much larger
body of men, who presumably have
no such grievances of their own. to
come to the support of these men.
If these commercial telegraphers will
not strike for their own cause how
can either they or their leaders reas-
onably expect any other men to do
any striking for them? The situa-
tion would seem to indicate not only
that the men originally involved feel
that they have no serious grievance,
but also that they have a very un-
democratic organization. since other
wise how could the strike have been
ordered when so very few of the men
really favor it?

MAKE 1T STATEWIDE

The example of Eunice, where the
new city administration has driven
out gambling and is enforcing ordi-
nances to make the town attractive
to peaceable and law-abiding citizens,
is having good effect in the neigh
boring municipalities. Mayor Coreil,
of Vile Platte. has published warm
ing that all town ordinances must be
observed, laying especial emphasis
upon gambling with cards or similar
device and crap shooting. In obedi-
ence to an ordinance recently passed,
every gambling room in Opelousas
has closed its doors and the profess
sionals have left the city.
Sentiment against public gambling
mere gambling-has strengthened in
Louisiana during recent years. Most
Of the cities and towns enfore local
ordinances against it with more or
less vigor. But the effect of purely
local laws is not to suppress it. but
to keep the professionals" moving
from town to town in order to dis
cover communities where the laws
may not be so rigid or are less vigo-
-ously enforced. Various attempts
nave been made to induce the legis-
ature to suppress it by state law, as
hey are directed by the constitution
o do, but they have heretofore failed.
4 some legislator will introduce ar
law at the next session,
le will probably find public senti-
nent in the state strong enough to
fleet its passage.-N. 0. Item.

Boy Reported Killed is
Hale and Hearty

! 10 have someone try to convince
you that you are dead-that you were
killed in action while going after the
Huns when you know very we'll that
you are still alive must be an anus
ing sensation. and yet is it possible
that in some cases the person whom
would be classed as dead might go
off to himself in a case of this kind
and argue the thing out to his own
satisfaction. Such was the experience
of Privte Tete Lombas, now employ
ed by ]. N. Pharr & Sons to do ditch
ing work on their plantation at
Avoca.
Tete's mother received a telegram
some time ago. advising her that her
boy was missing in action. Since
that time Tete has come home with an
honorable discharge and has been
making the best of it cutting ditch
banks. Now comes a telegram from
the War Department saying that
Tete, once reported missing in ac-
tion, is now reported as having been
positively killed in action. Due to
the fact that his mother is pretty we'll
convinced that it is Tete himself. and
not his spirit which has come to her,
she has not thought Of investing in
any mourning apparel, and has bought
no crepe de mutt to decorate her per-
son with. Here is letter written
by the young mans employers to the
department

We have communicated the sad in
diligence to the mother who sent
hree sons to the front in time of her

.ver, tells us that the death Of her
on, Tete Lombas, Private Infantry,
$ greatly exaggerated, as all three of !
Ter sons, including Tete, have return

We can verify the mothers state

to be an issue Of Victory Bonds" at
'85 redeemable at par annually COM
mencing in September, 1920 1t is
stated that the bonds are to be ex-
empt from all British taxation if
owned by non-residents of Great
Britain and Ireland. BY this latter
provision it is evidently intended to
induce investment in these securi-
ties by the citizens of this and other
countries.

llthough the work of his crime-in-
bureau has been greatly
decreased as a result of the ending

therefore, be reasonably supposed
hat his Secret Service appropriation
would be decreased rather than in
reased, he is asking for an addition

90, since the duties Of the Chief of

extraordinary that he should UNDER
