rope was doomed, was at the
very mercy of the ruthless Hun.
God alone knows what fate
awaited us had he triumphed-
but nO-GOd was there to save
His people. France and her
gallant. soldier-boys, at the price
Of the life's blood of her cher
ished manhood, came to our
rescue, kept the Internal enemy
ut bay.s Britain and Nationalist
Ireland came to our rescue.
Italy came to our rescue. Your
own great country, the United
States of America came to our
aid in an hour of sorest need.
You and l, my good friends,
have not fallen victims to the
deadly fumes of awful sitting
poisonous gases. You and |
have not fallen victims to the
saw-edged bayonet. and the in
cendiary bomb hurled on peace
full homes, and the CHASTITY tor
pedo flung into the TANKS of the
hospital ship bearing the
wounded and the sick. No! you
and l have not fallen victims to
the diabolical inventions of an
enemy that respected not laws
of God or of the nations. And
what power, l ask you, can
have saved you and me from all
this infamy and treachery? All
we'll you know it, no other pow
er, under the wondrous Provi-
dence of the God of armies, than
the shot and the shell and the
cannon and the polished steel
of our brave and valiant soldier
boys who,-God bless each and
every one of fhem-were at their
posts to protect us at the cost of
their own precious lives. Here
then lin our midst to-day, is the
body of one among the honoured
roll of those worthy heroes who
have suffered and died that we
might live. Small wonder then
that we should adequately revere
the memory of Clarence Della
houssaye, our own soldier, our
own patriot.
But it is befitting that even
as we revere the memory of our
illustrious dead, so should we
tend the message of the people
of New iberia unto the good
parents Of our hero. Good pa
rents and relatives of our dear
and honoured deceased,our mes
sage unto you is one of sincere,
sympathy. Well may
you mourn your loss. The
grim hand of death on the bat
tle-field has robbed you of a
loving son. of a devoted broth
er, has robbed us all of a dear
and esteemed friend. But while
we sympathize with you in so
irreparable a loss, our hearts
pour out unto you deep feelings
Of gratitude and congratulation.
For the good Of your country,
FOR the veal Of your own town
Of New Iberia you have offered
The very greatest sacrifice a

gold star for every American who fell.
1t Is also planned to have these stars
subscribed by the people Of the states
In proportion to the number Of Amer.
fcan dead from those states. Thus. If
this plan is carried through the audi.
torium will be q galaxy of glory and
heroism that will have no equal in the
world
The sum OF half a million dollars
has been already collected toward the
building and maintenance fund. Much h
more, Of course. is needed, for this build.
ing should be of monumental character,
large enough to accommodate the
greatest gatherings held in Washing
ton of national and international
character. That it will Ali want is q
commonplace. 1t Is so clearly estab-
iished that Washington needs a great
meeting room that the argument re.
quires no pressing. The question is
how such plan is to be financed. Is
the government to build or the people?
1t would be far better for the people
themselves to contribute to a national
memorial hail than for the United
States out Of its own funds to erect It.
Organization is about to be perfect
ed to carry through this project. Sub
scriptions will be sought in every
state and in the District. Quotas will
be allotted. The times are hard and
subscriptions are difficult to obtain.
But with the splendid start already
gained and with the eloquent appeals
Of Vice President Coolidge and David
Jayne Hill at last nights meeting az
to further efforts 1t may be
believed that this practical plan will
be consummated and within a few
years here in Washington will rise a
tribute by the American people to
their soldier dead.

Gen. Leonard Woods mission to the

charges run. the mission has nothing

have all the information about senti.

Germany's Final Chance.

In view Of the obvious weakening tr
the impgdent and defiant stand main

ment, on the subject Of reparations
the decision reached at London to af
ford Germany one final. chance tc
agree to the terms dictated by the
allies and then, if she fails to avail
herself Of that chance. swiftly to carry
out severe penalties, Will be generally
regarded as. wise. Whether or not
there Is merit in the judgment OF
those who hold that. having been ad
vissd OF the insistence Of the allies
upon the terms they lay down. Ger
many will yield, the next few days
must demonstrate. At all events 1t is
certain t1at no harm can be done in
establishing the fact that further oc.
cupation Of German territory is only
to be undertaken when, with excep'
tional forbearance under extreme
aggravation, the allies have evidenced
every readiness to permit Germany
to save herself from the consequences
Of her own perversity.
Germany is to be Immediately mott
ned of. the amount she is required to
pay and how that sum. probably the
$4,000. 600, 900 fixed by the repara-
tons commission. is to be paid. She
will further be advised as to the guar

supervision by the allies of her

be served upon her that, should she
fail to accept the Indicated terms with
out qualifications within week or ten
days the exact period has apparently
not been finally determined upon)
retribution will fall swiftly upon her.
It may be that, with such an ulti-
natum in the hands Of Germany, she
will seek to dodge and to evade. 1t
may be that those who claim that, in
the final analysis, the only way to get
equitable repAration out OF Germany is
to force it from. her at the points Of
the bayonets Of an invading army

In the case is all on their side In
any event the final respite afforded
Germany will only delay an unpleasant
duty for brief period, a period in
which full plans and preparations for
the fulflllment Of that duty can be
made. For the United States has
shown that it will not be inyeigled
into the business OF pulling Germany's
chestnuts from the fire. Then, with
the truth established, il the truth Is

to Germany by the use Of force, to
share in the discharging Of that duty

To preserve the, allied unity, which

The Ship Strike.

yesterday nearly every blue water
ship flying the American flag tied up
in an American port was virtually put
out Of commission by q strike Of en-.
gineers. who refused to accept a Is per
cent cut of pay. Orders to strike upon
reaching port were sent to ships at
sea, and If the plans of the marine
engineers are effective every Ameri-
can ship will within a short time be
idle. This will throw out Of employ.
ment directly more than 100. 900 marine
workers other than engineers and in.
directly will cause unemployment for
an unknown number Of Industrial
workers.
Under the present law the American
merchant service is subjected to a
higher wage tax than that of any
other nation. The American freight
carrier at sea is under a handicap
which makes it very difficult to obtain
cargoes. This law was passed for the
protection Of American citizens serv-
ing in the merchant marine. As a
matter Of fact, it is chiefly beneficial
to aliens, who constitute a large pro.
portion Of the crews Of ships flying
the American flag.
The present strike is one of the most
foolish things that American labor
has ever done. 1t means the loss Of
the worlds carrying trade to our n,er.
camille navy. 1t means the stoppage
Of shipbuilding in this country. 1t
means that American seamen to find
employment in their chosen occupa- :
ton must ship on foreign vessels at
the lower rate OF wages there pre-
vailins. In no other mercantile navy
will they find a scale as high as that
prevailing even under the reduction
just proposed. In short, unless they
change their trade they must lose
money II they continue to work, while
II they fail to find other work they
lose everything.
But it is to the future that the most
anxious looks are cast. What Of the
American merchant marine five years
from now, for example, when the Brit.
ish. French. Italian and perhaps the
German and the Japanese sea carriers
are taking most Of the cargoes and
the American flag is as scarce on the
high seas as it was ten years ago? That
is the assured result Of the present
course the marine engineers and other
groups Of ship workers are following.
The war gave US a golden opportunity
to put our merchant marine in the
van. For time we held that position,
owing to the losses Of foreign mer.
chant navies and the demoraiization
Of the carrying trade. But today hun.
dreds Of ships are rusting and rotting
in the harbors because they cannot
compete with the ships Of other ma.
tons under the handicap Of exces.
sively high wages and costly conditions
Of operations under the seamen's act.
And now all others are to be tied to
the docks for lack OF crews willing
to work at fair wages. Verify, the
engineers and the seAmen are de.
stroying their own trade, and Incl.
dentally infiicting a grievous injury
upon countless thousands Of Ameri.
cans in other trades.

adverse criticism Of American polit.

that he is overlooking opportunities
for admirable reforms much nearer

President Harding's Speech.


On the occasion Of the unveiling OF
the statue Of Bolivar In Central Park'
New York, President Harding made
speech the echo of which rings In our
ears In a tone we have not heard FOR
quite some time.
After several years OF continuous
talk about international fraternity

thing that sounds and looks truly

Of American politics. without doubt
strikes a sympathetic chord in Polish
hearts. For, what are these principles.
II not condemnation OF all PARTITION
ing, il not an expression OF readiness
for defense wherever there Is battling
for Justice and freedom. And these
were exactly the fundamental princi-
ples. OF the politics of the republic Of
Poland in the times Of Piast. Jagiello,
