Go
to Morgan City
(From the Lafayette Gazette)

(From the Lafayette GaZette)
Already fifty-seven members of
the local lodge of Elks have signed
the list of those who will make the
trip to Morgan City a week from
next Sunday to attend the great ini-
tiation ceremonies there that after
noon The boys will all be similarly
attired in white trousers and purple
hatband and tie. They will wear no
coat and the matter of shoes is not
essential, just so they wear some
thing on their feet. 1t is believed
that if the weather is favorable fully
one hundred Elks will make the trip
from here, and with other large del
egations from the various lodges in
Southwestern Louisiana the little old
town is going to have a sudden swell
in its floating population for the day.
The mayor has promised to capitu-
late the city for the day and the chief
of police and all his coppers are go
ing fishing early that Sunday morn
ing, so the E1ks will own the town.
Following is the list so far as sign

med. The hope that triumph over
event and through event reaches to
the eternities is the Easter hope of
glory, and of goodness, and OF grace.
Jesus. the first fruits of them that
slept, has risen. and points to the
eternal hope of humanity and the
provisions of the grace of God that
bring redemption both to the individ-
ual and to the race The open tomb
is the silent testimony to the risen
and glorified Jesus. He sits at the
right hand of Jehovah, who in turn
looks upon the petty wars f-princes
and will hold in derision they who
lift themselves up against the govern
ment of his son.

Citizens Demand
Better Highways

The most tremendous effort ever
made by the citizens Of Louisiana to
construct a great system of highways
is now manifesting itself, according
to Duncan Buie. head of the State
Highway Department.
This office is deluged with appl-
yations for construction" said Mr.
Buie, due primarily, | believe, to
the excellent publicity given the
good road movement by The Times
Picayune. The consistent policy of
The Times-Picayune in spreading
the gospel of good roads has had a
wondrous effect throughout the state.
"The State Highway Department
cannot hope to make the surveys re-
quired in time to please all of the cit
zens of all of the parishes 1t would
appear that everybody in the state
wants to build a road.
within the past few days we have
received applications covering road
construction in Concordia, Madison,
St. Bernard and Cameron parishes
which will mean the expenditure of
at least 100000 and the building of
200 miles of roadway. Of course,
surveys will have to be made and es-
Inmates tabulated, after which the
parish police juries, the federal gov
ernment and the State Hihway De-
partmene will build the roads.
Every engineer I have in the de-
partment has more than he can hope
to do in months, and the applications
are still arriving They will receive
attention in the order of their ar
rival. 1t is nov a case of first come,
first served. The two-million-dolla
cost estimated for the 200 miles in
the parishes named is based on pres
ent construction prices which may
vary either up or down. Probably
down."
The Madison parish proposition
represents the construction of sec.
tion of the Ozark highway. a short
cut from New Orleans to the North.
Concordia has parishwide projec,
| which will link up it's road system
completely with the roads bull
through Tensas, Point Coupee
Franklin and Avoyelles parishes.

Elks to Help
Armenian Soldiers

The Benevolent and Protective
Order of Elks has branched out in a
new field of work that is destined to
develop into great asset for the
Nation. This is through the appoint
ment in every Elks Lodge through
put the country of special commit
tee known as the Soldiers Friend
Committee, which will cooperate
with the Federal Board for Voca-
tional Education in the re-education
of disabled soldiers, sailors and ma
rines.
The Government proposes to edu-
cate every one of its disabled par
ticipants in the great war, for future
usefulness and independence. This
will be done by teaching them trades
or professions which will overcome
their physical disability and make
them capable of earning at least as
much as before they were disabled.
The Elks connection with this
great work will be primarily to give
it the human touch In many instan-
ces, too, the Elks will provide the
money for carrying on this educa-
tional work Wounded men whose
cases have not yet been finally pass
ed on by the War Risk Insurance
Board are, in many instances, with
out money for immediate expenses
and for this reason can not enter up
on this vocational training. All such
cases will be cared for by the Elks
fund.
Thousands of cases of wounded
soldiers do not come within the pur-
view of the Federal act for vocation
al training at all. These include
those wounded before the law be-
came operative. those not technically
included under it by reason of the
character of their disability and cit
liens of this country who were
wounded while fighting in the armies
of the Allies. All these cases will
likewise be cared for from the Elks
fund.
In addition to this, it will be the
business of the Elks to get in person
al touch with these wounded men and
their families and urge them to take
advantage of the Governments offe,
of free vocational training, all ex-
penses eing paid by the Government
and the Elks.
But experience has shown that
these wounded heroes do not always
take kindly to this re-education
Sometimes the men themselves, anc
more often their relatives or friends
get the idea that the country owes
them a living for what they have
contributed physically to save it
The Elks will make it their business
to convince these heroes of the wis.
dom of fitting themselves to be self
supporting and independent, insteae
of booming objects of charity Oh
.compelled to live on the mere pit.
tance of pension. 1t should be re
membered that, regardless of what
ever earning capacity these wounded
men may acquire by vocational train
ing or re-education, their right to Z
, pension will be in no wise affected
by their increased earning ability
The economic value to the country
of this vocational training for dis.
| abled men is declared by men who
have investigated its possibilities as
bein almost beyond computation.

DEATH Of MR.. LOHMANN

Whereas it has pleased the Al

Providence to call from his earthly
life his servant E. NJ. Lohmann,
President-Manager of The E. NJ. Lob
mann Company, and thus to termi-
nate rather unexpectedly career so
useful and important to that firm,
Now, Therefore, Be it resolved that
the Board of Directors tender their
heartfelt sympathy to his sorrowing
wife, children and relatives in their
sad bereavement.
Resolved, That they wish to express
their own keen personal regret over
the loss of one whom in his capacity
as President and Manager of the said
E. NJ. Lohmann Co. they have at all
times esteemed as a most conscien-
tious and efficient official, and in
whose demise they feel to have suf-
fered a severe personal loss.
Resolved, Moreover, that these
resolutions be spread upon the min

in one issue of the Catholic Bull

and sacrifices Of the dead, but en-
phasizing the great principles and
lofty ideals for which the world war
was fought. Of course, the military
authorities and all the state and city
civil authorities would gladly partici-
pate in so grand and inspiring a pa
triotic demonstration. The service
would partake both of the solemn
character of a requiem for the fallen
and a joyous and popular thanksgiv-
ing victory celebration, concluding
with the rendering by the united
choirs, massed bands, and all the peo-
pie, of the grand TIE Deum, that sub
lime, Hymn of Praise and Thanksgiv-
ing, which by reason of the unsur-
passed appropriateness of both words
and music, has come, down through
the centuries as the only adequate
expression of popular sentiment on
such occasions Then why not a

WHY NOT A CATHOLIC MEMO

White Bear, Mimi.

To the Editor:
Now that the public press and state
legislatures are racking their brains
to devise some suitable monument to
perpetuate the memory of the fallen
heroes of the war, why should not
Catholics, who took so conspicuous
and glorious a part in the war, bestir
themselves and devise something
unique, original, solemn and impos-
ing that would not only commend
rate the memory of the dead but also
perpetuate the principles of true pa
triotism and good citizenship among
the living?
To be sure, we already have the
feast of All Souls for the universal
commemoration Of the dead, but the
season. of the year in which it falls
practically limits it to an indoor serv-
ice. We also have the national cele-
bration of Memorial Day on May 80
when the flowers are in bloom which
naturally leads to an outdoor celebra-
ton. Then why not have a Catholic
that is a truly universal" annual
celebration, perhaps in June, under
the blue canopy of heaven when both
nature and art might combine to pro-
duce something worth while, for
what more rare than day in June?''
There is nothing more solemn, in
spring and impressive than grand
military field Mass. The Mass is the
highest act of public worship which
man can render to the Creator. 1t

A TERRIBLE STORY
ARMENIAN PRIEST TELLS OF
ATROCITIES IN (cILlcIA.

An Armenian priest of Dervank, a
village in Caesarea, Father Der Var
dan, has just returned to London from
exile after three years imprisonment,
and he tells a terrible story of the
anti-Armenian atrocities carried on in
Cilicia.
Speaking of his own district Father
Der Vardan says: 1.-THE whole male
population of our village were muir
dered in the valleys, being knocked
on the head with axes. Most of the
women were drowned in the river,
while some Of the young girls were
dragged to the harems. Out of the
$40 inhabitants of the village there
are now left alive only twenty-five,
who escaped to the mountains and
sustained themselves by eating grass.
