commercial undertaking upon which
the British have embarked. Britain's

by trade prospects, and this fact is like

Amalgamation Is Urged

LONDON, May S.-The fifth meeting
of the council of the league of nations
will be held this week at Rome. Pro-
found political changes have taken
place since the first session opened Up
an atmosphere of extreme optimism
and now the council gathers in Italy
under peculiarly discouraging circum-
stances.
The league has neither the moral nor
material strength, it is feared, to ac-
cept the mandate of Armenia. Even
its warmest advocates admit frankly
that the league is in a bad way ard
that it viii share the fate of the Holy
tive force.
During the last fortnight there has
been a steady development of opinion
against the league and in favor of the
Supreme Council, which formed to
write the peace treaties and which
threatens to become a permanent body
upon whom there will be no check save
that of public opinion. The league saw
its opportunity in calling the interna-
tional financial economic conference. at
which the world situation could be
studied and its findings reported to
the Supreme Council But Premier
Lloyd George set the date of the Spa
cAnference a week earlier than the

British Public Bids
Coodby to Fresh Bread
Government, Granting Demands
of Workers, Prohibits Bak-
ing at Night

FROM The Trs1ume's European Rureou
LONDON, April 27.-Britain Is bid
ding goodby to fresh bread. Baking at
night is to be prohibited by govern
mental legislation.
When the bakers strike terminated
last fall. an undertaking was given
of the governments definite intention
to prohibit night baking. At that time
the claim was advanced by the bakers
and their assistants that the custom
ary hours of their trade denied them
the same privileges of leisure, recrea-
tion and family life enjoyed by other
men. To-day it is officially announced
that their claim is granted.
Fresh bread was prohibited during
the war, and its consumption since the
removal of the restrictions has never
approached prc-war figures. The hot
morning rolls of the American break
fast table are something almost un-
known here. The bakers may just as
we'll have their afternoons for their
horse racing and their evenings for
their families. because stale bread has

What Do You Know of the Nat
ChitOcheS Parish Red
Cross?

There seems to be very erroneous
idea in the minds of many as to what
should be expected of the Red Cross,
particularly along the line of emergency
relief and nursing services.
To begin with, don't ever make the
colossal mistake of supposing that Red
Cross intends to supplant "rhe Good
Nelghbor'. On the contrary, the "Blg
Idea in the Peace Time Program, the
very essence and spirit of the whole
thing is to develop the highest form of
neighborliness. The answer given near
" two thousand years ago to the ques-
; tion who is my neighbour rings just
as true now as then-our neighbor IS
any one who needs our help, our SER
vice. whether it be financially, moral,
spiritual, or any other form of assist
ance.
! The man III need on the other side of
the parish is your neighbor. 1t is not
convenient for you to go, but you send
your agent, the Red Cross, to do your
neighborly deeds for you, and it does
! it more systematicall and economically
than you could.
1t doesn't mean that if you go across
The woods few miles and sit up a few
/ nights with dying neighbor, that you
should send III nursing bill that is Illegal
even for registered graduate nurse to
charge. Aside from the fact that ser
vices Of such persons could not possibly
be worth anything like as much as
those of nlrse, it is contrary 10 the
Red Cross spirit to Humanity, and
Chri istianity. Right here we must say
that Campti is deserving of special
commendation in that respect. In the
Membership Drive laat fall, Campti
and vicinity raised more money than
any other two wards in the parish, ex
cept Ward One, and in times of
emerg ency this winter and spring, we
have had more help, and at more
reasonable charge than any where in
the parish, outside of the town Of
Natchitoches. They have shown the
true Red Cross spirit.
The doctors of Natchitoches parish
have shown a very fine Red Cross
spirit, and too much cannot be said in
their praise. The Red Cross has never
received but one bill from doctor in {,
the parish, and that for only 81. 90 1--WE |
feel sure that he would not have done !
so, if he had taken second thoueht.) |
The good doctors of this parish have
always done a great deal of free
practice, and they recognize the fact
that the Red Cross is not to stop them |
from giving service to the needy. but
to help them in every possible way in
their noble fight to make our parish
healthier, happier, safer place to live.
We believe this is true of most of the
doctore in the Gulf Division. OF course
a doctor will be found, occasionally,
who would rob ''The Great Mother,
but this few only serve, by contrast,
to show the splendid spirit of the vast
of our physicians.
Ali the people in close touch with the
Red Cross work have been trying to it
thoroughly understood that, altho we
DO give some financial relief in emergen-
~, the spirit of the work is in Service
helping others to help themselves.
Right here it will be we'll to empha-
'ize the fact that our Public Health
Nurse is not to be expected to give
