The picnic given by the farmers
in honor Of the faculty and stu
dents of the Louisiana Forestry
School at the Summer Forestry
School Camp up Oh Bogue Lusa
Creek, on the middle F'ranklinton
road, near Bogalusa proved a
most enjoyable occasion. There
hundreds of people there, and the
entire day was full of most inter.
esting speech making and discus
sions of live topics. One of the
very instructive features of the
day was the study of the process
of treating with creosote, ordinary
pine poles for fence posts, demon.
strated by Major j. G. Lee, di.
rector of this school. He showed
how it was possible for any far.
mer or community Of farmers to
own collectively OF individually
an outfit by which they can creo.
sote their own fence posts at a
total cost, including the cutting
and hauling of the posts, of TWEEN.
ty-one cents each. 1t was also
shown that these posts would last
from ten to twenty years.
From the very beginning the
speech making took on a lively
clipp, and every subject discussed
was approached from the angle
that there are three sides to every
question, to wit; "My side, your
side, and then the right There
was no effort to shut off discus.
sion, it being understood in the
beginning that every question
had a true and proper solution and
that was the goal aimed at.

interests of the Republicans of New
York City" at the meeting Of the
state committee Friday.
Major La Guardia assumed that there
would be an attempt to establish an
unfair ratio Of representation of dele
gates to the next state convention. He
deprecated the return TO the old con-
vention system of selecting state can
law and the revival of the direct pri-
mary-a subject which he intends to
make one of the issues of his primary
campaign for the Mayoralty nomlna-
tion His letter follows in part:
'It is obvious that the next conven-
ton, as all others, is to be packed.
Still believe that it is the duty of
every state committeeman from this
city to prevent this unfair method of
arportionment being approved by the
state committee. Don't you think that
New York City, with 5.620,o4S popula-
tjon, in comparison with the popula-
ton of the balance of the state at
4,764,7S1 and the City of New York
paying about 20 per cent of the taxes
OF the entire state and limited by con-
stltutional provision to having at all
times a minority in the state Legisla-
ture, regardless of population or rate
of taxation, now to come along with this
artificial basis of apportionment in a
convention, is rubbing it in little too
much?
II hope that this error will not be
added to the long list of unfair con-
duct which has antagonized SO many
good Republicans in this city"

Aldermen Asked to Back
Ten-Squad Police System

Alderman Jacob Friedman introduced
q resolution at the meeting of the
Board of Aldermen yesterday request
ing Mayor Hylan and Police Commis-
sioner Enright to restore the ten-squad
system in the Police Department, in
stead of the nine-squad system under
which the department is now working.
The resolution was referred to the
Committee on Rules.
Alderman Friedman said that under
the ten squad system patrolmen were
allowed one day off in every seven,
while the nine-squad system only al
lows one day off in twenty-seven.
"If we could go through the period
of the war on ten-squad system,
said the Alderman, "there would seem
to be no good reason why, with adj
ditional policemen that have been added
to the force, and conditions restored
to normal, we cannot now return to the
ten-squad system"
A resolution offered by Alderman
Stephen F. Roberts that the board re-
quest Congress to pass the resolution
introduced by Senator Robert M La
Toilette, Of Wisconsin,, that the gov
ernment recognize the Irish Republic,
was referred to the Committee on Cen
eral Welfare.
A report of the Committee on FL
nance on site to be acquired for use
for a .refuse destructor," to be located
at Rockaway Beach, Queens, was passed
after Alderman Bruce M. Falconer OBJ
jected, on the ground that the city
should not erect and operate its own
eestructor at large expense, but give
the contrs ct to private concern, as
the Mitchell administration did, and
make money.
The resolution was passed by vote
of 4S to l., Alderman Falconer being
alone in the negative.

too dependent upon one another to for
bid their natural reunifcation much
longer without harming, in the most
serious manner, the economy of the
whole world. That is why the imme-
diate Conclusion of peace between Ger
many and the United States would be
the greatest blessing to mankind"
Asked for his views on the much
discussed proposal for a German loan
in the United States, Chancellor Wirth
said:
every loan raises the question of
the confidence of the American people
in Germany and in Europe. You know,
issue new bonds. The question Of new
loans on the part of Germany, there
fore, must be taken up in connection
with these issues of reparation bonds.
We must not compete with each other
now if we are not to injure the repa-
rations plan.
"The question Of rebuilding the
world must dominate the worlds gold
markets. How far the German busi-
ness man will enter into commercial re-
lations in the next few months cannot
be definitely gagged now have hope,
however, that the economic restoration
of Germany and Central Europe will
give the whole world plenty of oppor-
tunity to participate in supplying our
needs. The eastern pillar of Europe's
economy has been destroyed, and the
road to it's rebuilding and reequipment
leads mainly through Germany. This
means that the restoration of Europe
as whole is impossible without Ger
many's receiving more and more of the
worlds raw materials and products.
Germany is not to remain isolated
in order to use these things for her
self She is ready to cooperate with
all nations in the work Of restoring
Europe. And from this point of view
the maintenance of democratic gov
ernment in Germany is a question of
life and death to the whole world.
when said that the German people
must get not only fair play, but also
fair chance, | meant to say that the
economic resurrection of Germany
would be a barometer of the revitaliza-
ton of the whole of Europe and con-
sequently of the whole world"
