GAME HERE SUNDAY

The New Orleans Alcos will return
here next Sunday for a game with
the local team. Due to the fact that
the visitors will return to New Or
leans on the afternoon train, it will
be necessary to call the game at

The local team has been at hard
practice this week and expect to
make a much better showing. In
fact, they promise to wipe out the
defeat of last Sunday.
If the local fans will give the team
proper support by attending games,
Bogalusa will have one of the best
amateur teams in the state. All the
team asks is few days more of prac-
tice and your attendance.

Dover. But. the last war has taught
her that her European frontier is on
the Rhine and that the Rhine is more
important to her than even the Suez
Canal or the Himalayas.
You say that the Rhineland will
revolt. Our answer is that fear Of
bolshevism and dread of war taxes
dominate the Rhinelander. and that,
moreover, we are not threatening
them with annexation. We are Of
fering them independence. Other
peoples-the Germans of Bohemia, for
instance-wili under the treaty, have
to accept foreign sovereignty.
If you object to possible resis-
lance of British opinion, we rely on
the certain revolt of French opinion
against a peace which would not in
clude the occupation of the Rhine.
England did not feel that the COM
plete surrender of the entire German
fleet permitted her to do away with
her own. And France will mot admit
that the partial disarmament of Ger
many on land-partial, because. for
20 years, she will have at her dispo-
sal 100000 men--absolves France
from the necessity of taking guaran-
tees.
ITO ask us to give up occupation,
is like asking England and the United
| States to sink their fleet of battle
ships. We refuse.
I'VE want no annexation. But we
want our security. We consider the

As early as November, 1918, Mar
shall F'oeh. on purely military
grounds. had addressed a note to NJ.
Clemenceau laying stress on the
necessity of making the Rhine the
western frontier of Germany. on
January 10 following, in a second
note which he handed to the COM
manders in chief of the allied armies,
Marshal Foch had developed his ar
guments and summed them up in the
following conclusion:
Marshal Won Moltke placed the
military frontier of Germany at the
Rhine and at the end of one of his
papers writes There can be no
doubt about the ordinary strength of
our theatre of operations on the
Rhine One thing only could endan-
ger it--a premature offensive by us
on the left bank with insufficient
forces" And elsewhere he states:
THE main line of defense of Prus-
STA against France is the Rhine with
its fortresses. This line is so strong
that II is far from requiring all the
forces of the monarchy"
Today this situation is reversed In
favor of coalition. The coalition can
not renounce its advantages, cannot
relinquish its buckler of defense in
that region--the Rhine-without Sc
riously compromising its future. The
"wacht am Rhein" must be it's slo-
gan.
Henceforth the Rhine must be the
western frontier of the German peo-
pie. Germany must be deprived Of
all access to or military utilization
of It, that is to say, of all territorial
sovereignty on the left bank of this
river-in a word, of every facility to
reach by sudden invasion, as in 1914.

Rhine No Barrier
The Rhine, a military frontier in

peace, which is the aim of coalition,
offers no. territorial advantage to
any country. There is no question
! indeed of annexing the left bank of
the Rhine, of increasing the territory
of France or of Belgium, but simply
one of maintaining on the Rhine the
common barrier of security essential
to the society of democratic nations.

Addressing the House, Mr.. Bank

clothed his idea in the following
language.
MIR chairman. on November Il,
early in the morning. there will move
from this capitol building toward
Arlington cemetery. one of the most
solemn and impressive professions
ever organized In the history of the
nation. II will be a part of the me-
morable tribute that this nation and
this people are paying to our I'M
known dead solder from the battle
fields OF France.
"Shrouded with the flag he died
to save. escorted by living comrades
who wear the badges of distinguished
titudes with bowed heads and CRATE
full hearts, and 'drapped in the
mantle of peoples praises" the prone
and silent figure of this stalwart son
of the republic will pass upon his last
review.
"The tribute of a great nation to
one of its outstanding, distinguished.
conspicuous public men is always an
impressive thing. But this will be a
different ceremonial. The man in
the casket will be unknown. He may
have been of the city's culture, or a
lahorer of the mills who took off
his overalls to put on his khaki, or a
plowboy from Dixie's countryside or

lences of Arlington. We here will
march with him. But. comrades of
this Legislative fellowship, ] ask you
on November II, and thereafter too,
will he march with US? Not in the
flesh. of course but will his spirit
counsel with us--not only to remem-
Der him, but to take heed that he
will have died in vain If the politi-
clans and diplomats of the world con-
tinue to make possible for other men

REVEALS SECRET
OF STRENGTH OF
AGRARIAN BLOCS
Author of New Book Gives
Names and Counts Noses
to/ShoW How Plan Was
Developed
by HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau, The Accelerate
500 DaVidson f.uiIol

Washington, November 9.-(Spe-
oial.)-The secret of the strength of
the agricultural blocs that have
been having their own way in legis-
lative matters during the present
session of Congress is disclosed and
analysed in several chapters of a
book called The Farm Bureau Move
ment," by o. NJ. Kile, which has Just
appeared in Washington.
The author gives names and counts
noses to show how the plan was
worked out here last winter between
the Farm bureau forces and leaders
in Congress hailing from the agrieul-
tural sections, to get together on
nonpartisan basis, and put through
a legislative programme. The sue
cess OF this plan has been painfully
evident to the old-time political lead
ars ever since, the author says The
discontinue of Senators Lodge and
Penrose are directly traceable to this
cause. he adds.
A reading of the inner structura
end workings of this new agricul-
turAl organization reveals a social
and economic force even greater than
chat of organized labor, 1t Is claimed,
and 1t is easy to see why congress-
men from the agricultural districts
have stood by the Farm bureau leg
islative programme so steadfastly,
Senator Kenyon, the recognized leao-
er of the Senate bloc, says: Organ
3zed agriculture is the strongest and
most hopeful single force in Amer
jcan political, economic and social
life today. Its influence will soon
be felt in every Legislative hall, every
business house and every counting
room in the land"
Another portion OF this book de-
scribes the cooperative buying and
selling plans on foot which, If car
ried out, he says, cannot fail to af-
feet either for better or for worse
every manufacturer, finaneier and
merchant in the land. The entire
grain crop, live stock, cotton and
miscellaneous farm crops lie within
the selling plans of this organization,
hnd IL the author, who was formerly
assistant Washington representative
of the American Farm Bureau feder-
alton, is to be believed, these plans
have already gone a long ways to-
ward being put into effect Cooper
etive buying plans are equally am
bilious.
The author speaks very optimis-
tically concerning the good which he
thinks this movement will accom-
plish toward cleaning up both eco
nomic and political conditions.

Refuses Japanese
Premiership Due to
Age and Ill Health
BY Associated Press

Toxic, November 9.--The problem
of a successor to the premiership re-
manned in an uncertain state today
largely because of the continued re-
fusal of Marquis Saionji, pleading
age and ill-health, to consider ac-
ceptance of the post. which the
Asiahi Shimbun says he persisted in
during long conference with Prince
Yamagata. one of the elder states
men, at the latter's residence In Oda-
wara, near Yokohoma.
Prince Yamaata Is understood TO
have insisted that Marquis SaionJi
was the only man able to bring har-
mony out of the situation. The
prince, however, failed to extract an
acceptance from the marquis.
