the movement then will continue at
the rate Of 10000 monthly until it is
completed. The cost of Americas par
ticipation in the repatriation will be
taken care Of out Of loans made by the
United States to the foreign govern
ments whose soldiers are involved.
Repatriation of these troops will be
under the direction of Brigadier-Gen-
eral Hines, Chief of the Army Trans
port Service, and will be one OF the
last big military operations of the war.
The Czecho-Slovaks originally were
part Of the Austrian army, but being
to the German idea of world
domination, deserted in mass to the
Russian army early in the war. In
Russia they were reformed into special
Czccho- -Slovak units and bore an impor-
tant part of the fighting on the Eastern
front until the disintegration Of the
Russian armies.
Whether the repatriated troops will
be sent to Europe direct from Vladi-.
vostok, or via the United States and
Canada, has not yet been decided.

Phillips Defends U. S.
Policy To,Uard Russia
Allies in accord, He Insists,
and Asserts That Bolsheuiki
Nerer Haze Kept Their Word

BOSTON, Jan. 8.-The policy of
the United States toward Bolshevik
Russia is discussed in a letter from
Assistant Secretary Of State William
Phillips, made public to-day by DEM
Arrest Lloyd, secretary of the Harvard
dressed Mr.. Phllips's statement, writ
ten on the eve of his departure for
Europe, was said by Mr.. Lloyd to have
been sought as supplement- to an
earlier letter to Senator Wadsworth, of
New York, on the same subject. The
letter says in part:
"You ask, first, whether state
ment by Mr.. Winston Churchill in the
House of Commons to the effect that
all British policies toward Russia
are being carried out in full accord
ciled with the statement in my letter
Of November l to Senator Wadsworth
that SO far as the United States is
concerned no blockade exists. do
not recall the precise wording of Mr..
Churchill's statement. 1t should be
clear. however, that such general ac-
cord as has been attained by the Allied
and associated governments with
respect to any aspect of the war has
necessarily manifested itself con-
cretely in different ways in different
countries.
You inquire. secondly, if the
measures which the government takes
against subversivc propaganda are not
an unwarranted confession Of weak
ness. This point was also raised in
an editorial referring to the depart
ment's letter in The New Republic
of November 10.
AS you know, public opinion seems
at the present moment rather more
critical of the government for being
too lenient in its protective measures
against Red agitation than for cre
atlng through overstringence unwar-
ranted presumption of weakness.
Third, you question the expediency
of the so-called blockade. Though the
view that the Bolsheviki are kept in
power by pressure from the outside is
by no means conclusive, the considera-
tions which you mention in this con-
necton arc undoubtedly weighty. 1t is
certainly desirable, from number of
points of, view, to terminate at the
earliest possible date the restrictive
measures in question. On the other
hand. there are practical difficulties in
in the letter to Senator Wadsworth,
and these, UP to the present, have out
weighed the considerations moving to
termination
Fourth, you ask whether the Boil
shevik group has not offered as a con-
dition of peace to refrain from propa-
ganda, and if the word of this group
has not proved at least as reliable as
that Of any of the other Russian fac
tions with which we are now dealing
With respect to the word of the other
Russian factions, I can only say that
up to the present we have not been the
victim Of any serious bad faith With
respect to the Bolsheviki. however, we
have had practically nothing but bad
faith.
"Finally, you inquire whether the
present policy of the government is
not throwing Russia into the arms of
Germany. This could only be an
swered by discussion of the whole
Russian problem, which is not possible
in this letter."

can lives through attacks ordered on
Armistice day should be charged to
American headquarters" Brigadier-
General Fox Connor, member of Cen
eral Pershing's staff and chief Of oper-
ations in the American Expeditionary
force, said that General Sherburne's
idea of the war appeared to coincide
with that held by many other persons
namely, that "the war ended before it
ended"
"Marshal Foch had issued orders
that all attacks already begun should
be pressed on that day. The Allies
could not afford to take any chances.
We were placing our armies in the
best possible position in the event
Germany failed to sign.

Sherburne and the 92d Division, to
which he was attached, participated,

signed. The signing took place at the

Ernest RogeISr.
Last Summons.

On last Wednesday afternoon at 8
o'clock, the soul of an aged, respected
and representative citizen of this pa
rish,- one long identified with the pu-
blic interest, welfare, and advance
ment, Mr.. Ernest Roger Sr., passed in
: to the Great Beyond. Deceased had
reached the age of 83 years, and while
! robust and energetic, was taken Ill
Sunday, and his illness was of short
duration. He Immediately took a turn
for the worse, and those of his child
rem who were absent were called to his
bedside, all reaching him, save one,
who was too far removed. He was of
quiet disposition, fond of his home
and family, and while representing his
ward on the different boards, and this
arish in number of conventions, never
held political Office, yet always took
and displayed an interest in all politi-
cal and public affairs. Over half CEN
tury since, he married Miss Trosclair
and of the union three sons, Messrs
Thomas H. Roger, L. G. Roger, Ernest
Roger Jr, all esteemed citizens of this
parish Mrs. E. A. Reynolds of New Or
leans, and Mrs. Earle Knobloch of
New York, together with the widow
survive him, besides number of grand
children, relatives and worlds of
friends and acquaintanccs. He
owned and operated Greenwood Plan
tation and Factory for long period,
operating the same under the Ernest
Roger Co. Ltd for the past few years,
and was very successful in agricul-
ture, sugar, to which he devoted the ma
jor portion, if not all of his useful ca
reer. career.
His funeral was held on yesterday at
st John Catholic Church in the first
ward, and was largely attended, beng
conducted by the pastor Rev. Father
Berthault; the remains were inferred
in the family tomb in st Joseph Catho
lie Cemetery. The family have the con-
dolences of their many friends, neigh
bors and acquaintance.

tuberculosis Help
Given By People,

The present campaign being eonduc
ted by the Anti tuberculosis League
for the benefit of the afflicted from
tuberculosis is meeting with hearty er
couragement on all sides. People are
beginning to appreciate and realize
that there need be no necessity for the
continued ravages of this disease, for
one person dies therefrom in this coun-
try,every three and one half minutes,
and we presently have over two mil
lion of our population tainted with the
white plague. One dollar is the mem
bership fee, and from this total one
third will go to the state organization,
twenty per cent for a State Hospital
for the care and proper treatment of
the afflicted, and forty six two third per
cent stays within the parish to be used
by the local organization as it best
sees fit. Mrs. F. H. Toups is chairIady
of the drive, and exerted every effort
to the advancement of the work, and
while receiving hearty cooperation de-
serves credit for her noble efforts and
good work. If you have not come
across, remember the afflicted and
less fortunate on this memorable day,
when it does one good to make others
feel happy, or to alleviate any and all
sufferings.
