NEW PACT OR CRASH, Is EX-
PERT WARNING.

PERT WARNING.
London. Feb. 17.-Revise tn
treaty or all Europe will cras
into bankruptcy, is the warnin
printed today in the Pictorial b,
Austin Harris, economist and au
thor. He adds:
Europe is sinking like a MAJ
with creeping paralysis. Not
country east of the Rhine is abb
to buy. Their credit is exhausted
1T is a deadlock. It is because til;
treaty will not work; every BAN,
err in the country knows this; if,
economics are wrong, the me
chanism of credits has collapsed
Until it has been righted, the pc
sition will 90 from bad to worse
we shall initiate into self combus-
ton.
"What is to be done? The
treaty must be revised to allow
the worlds economic mechanism
to function: otherwise we shall be
caught in the crash inevitable to
a Europe that cannot buy or sell.
IF we want money out Of Germany,
we must permit her to trade, but,
to sell, she must first buy and she
cannot. Like the rest, she has NO
credit. There will be no indem-
nifty that way.
Credit Is Indispensable.
"Thus, the indispensable point
is credit which means confidence
peace. Our revision, then must
make a real peace or here will be
no credit. That We have done
wrong is inevitably true. What
We have done has brfT to deprive
Germany of raw material and coal
to such an extent that she is dein-
dustrialized. Austria actually isl
starving, Poland is bankrupt,
ITALY is in terrible straits. France
slated a loan to balance her bud-
get: all this because Europe has
been regrouped, strategically, one
part HOLDING down the major half
on paper money.
Europe's only chance is the
production Of a real peace or
death and the S0,000,000 Germans
and Austrians are the differential
of life or chaos We cannot afford
TO paw for a militarized Europe. |
That is an economic truth. We
cannot regroup Europe on the bal
ance of power system and think
that credit and trade win happen.
The treaty, as it stands,cuts al
our throats. We should revise 1t
immediately on these three
principles:
First. what is German is to
remain German; second, an IN
demnity fixed on capacity of pay
ment, which probably will be two
billion pounds; third, European
economics, that is, Europe should
be regarded as an economic unit,
not as the cockpit Of war. The
reparation commission is to be
abolished. At present it is a
fantastic implement subject to no
control, democratic or govern
mental.
"Unless we want to see the
greatest crash in history, our job
is to put the bankers on the bus
iness without delay If we did
this. American without doubt !
would underwrite it, but she will
not underwrite chaos; that is the
problem. Unless we make a clean .
sensible treaty, we shall bankrupt |
ourselves to maintain Europe in
Bankruptcy. !
"What the treaty does is to
eviscerate. devitalize, remilitarize,
deindustrialize Europe to the level
of half-starved peoples anxious to
seize one another by the throat
which we have to fight if we with /
draw our financing from these
people. i
"Our choice is twofold: A
healthy Europe or a Napoleonic
Insolvency; prosperity, warmth
and life or blood and taxes and
revolution" = !, /

You Can Enlist
in Local Cavalry

All ex-service men are urged to
give their consideration to the OPP
portunity offerd them to enlist for
one year in the new cavalry troop
being organized here this week. Cap
tain Lindsey, commander of the
troop, is an ex-cavalryman and as
ciated with him as officers are men
that are far from being Of the "flea-
bitten" and "hard-boiled" variety
generally found in this branch of the
army. Ex-service men have the first
chance at the "n0n-eom" Eylaces, and
with their pfeVioHs AZ
should be able to Iii the bllI to per-
.fection. You drill only five times a
month, an hour and a half's drill at
a time, rake down almost 20 cents
an hour while you're doing it, have
a permanent valet to take care Of
your mount and shine the upholstery
and paint work on your harness.
Sounds almost like fairy tale. You
birds that hollered about reveille
didn't have any such thing. You
drill at night, and think of the "hops"
and smokers that'll be staged at the
Armory for you alone. Why, it'll be
a snap compared to those pleasant
Cd days spent in La Belle France.
For the crowd who were too young
to be in the little muss we had two
wears ago. even better things are Of
fered to them-a chance to be a man
in mans outfit, the toughest branch
of the army, learn how to shoot a
real gun, not a BIB or a twenty-five,
what a salute really means, why a
man hops to attention when an Off
cen enters the room, how to press
uniform, and "shine" pair Of cav
airy boots, how to break down a
Springfield and put up a shelter tent,
and best Of all to have a uniform of
your own, and not be forced to Dor
row one Of your brothers when you
want to put on dog" before the la
dies, besides having a keen looking
horse to ride when you want to show
off

Columbia Had Two
Killings This Week

Columbia, Miss, is credited with
two killings this week. It is reported
to The Enterprise that a former jit-
ney driver named Byrd was killed by
the chief of police of Columbia Sun
day night. According TO information
received, Byrd was disturbing the
peace. He had previously been
warned not to appear in Columbia IA
a drunken condition. When the chief
went to arrest Byrd it is said Byrd
attempted to pull gun and the chief
shot him in the leg and again told
him not to attempt to shoot. Byrd
is reported to have tried to get his
gun from his pocket and the officer
shot him THROUGH the heart.
No details of the other killing
could be secured, as it occurred a
few miles out in the country, when
a farm owner and a tenant quarreled
and one had his head almost blown
off by shot from both barrels Of a
shot gun.

Ladies, if you want to cast your
ballot for the next President of the
United States it will be necessary for
you to go to Franklinton and regis
ter before midnight of October 2,
as the registration books will then be
closed until after the election in No
vember. nasmuch as the nominations
have been made, which is equivalent
to election, for district officials, con-
gresham and senator, the only eff
feet your vote would have would be
for the presidential nominees.
Registrar Of Voters Chess Mizell,
in conversation with the Enterprise
Wednesday afternoon, stated that it
would be impossible for him to visit
the voting precincts of the parish for
the registration of the women, as
much as he would like to do SO.
Reports are that women are taking
very little interest in registration at
present, but when local politics get
warm it is expected several hundred
women Of the parish will qualify.
Don't forget that if you want to
vote on Tuesday, November 2, ladies,
that it will be necessary for you to
go to Franklinton and register, and
also remember that you will be COM
PEELED to tell your age.

zen for this work, and the Enterprise
believes that Hon. Delos r. Johnson

Of the most influential citizens in
Washington parish, Mr.. Johnson is

Storm Turns Back
Into Gulf Of Mexico

The west India hurricane which
was billed to arrive on Wednesday,
reminded some Of the vets of the
strain they were under when the Su-
preme Court was about ready to an
nounce the validity of the Volstead
act. For a day citizens in certain
sections Of Louisiana, Mississippi,
Texas and Florida were worrying
about the storm. 1t was announced
to hit between Morgan City and Gal
weston Tuesday night, but Wednesday
morning its appearance was billed for
between New Orleans and Pensacola.
Then the storm decided to take care
Of its own affairs, according to the
message received by The Enterprise
Wednesday afternoon, for it is re-
ported that when it left the Gulf of
Mexico that it turned right around
and started back to the West Indies.
and, incidentally, no one regretted
its course.

Wages for
Cigar Factory Girls

If there is a woman in Bogalusa
who wants to learn a trade and earn
big wages, not a city in the South
offers better opportunities than here
in Bogalusa at the cigar factory,
where additional help can be used at
all times.
With working conditions ideal, and
being paid while learning a trade that
win pay big wages when one becomes
proficient in the work, is something
unusual. The work is easy and those
who have been working at the cigar
factory have earned the reputation
of being the most apt pupils of any
city in the country.
The plant is located in Northwest
Bogalusa in the building formerly oc-
cupied by the Louisiana Fiber Board
Company, and those desiring further
information should see the superin-
tendent.
