Erzberger
Case Gets
Interest
Berlin, june 2s-The zrzberger

Berlin, June 29--The zrzberge
tax x-dodging case. like the eele
brated Dreyfus case Of France
shows signs OF developing into
factional fued threatening to ex
tend over years. Although it i
faced with the difficult problem,
of reparation, OF disarming th'
unwilling Bavarians, and Of run
ming a bankrupt nation, the reich
stag prefers to spend much of its
time In the lobbies DISCUSSING
whether or not Matthias Erzber-
ger is a tax-dodger.
Matthias Erzberger is the one
man, more than any other, who Ii
responsible for the Germans sign
ing the Versailles treaty. AS @
result he is hated by the group cf
pan n-Germans which had had ex-
peetations Of signing a far differ
ent treaty, with clauses making
Belgium q commercial colony OF
Germany. A former secretary Of
the treasurer under the emperor,
Karl Heifferich, was the leader in
the movement to disgrace Erzber-
ger and drive him from political
life.
In January, 1920, while Erzbcr-
ger was minister OF finance, his
tax return certificates were stolen
from the finance ministry; the
material in them soon began to
appear in the foyalistic press. Err
berger Immediately ordered an in
vestigation Of his tax payments
and withdrew from the post as
minister OF finance. He left office
with Noske at the time OF the
Kapp revolution.
Z For the past year Erzberger has
been one Of the powers behind the
cabinet--and, although he lived in
the strictest retirement, he has
been taken into counsel on many
OF the important crisis through
which the government has passed.
His socialist and centrum friends
wish him to return to active po-
litical life and are seeking to re-
instate him in the cabinet.
They accuse the monarchist
group OF having made Erzberger
the sacrifice OF political intrigue
and by means OF interpretations in
the Teiehstag and discussions In
the lobbies are attempting to make
the Erzbarger case q boomerang
against the royalists.
!, The centrum party claims that
its chief not only Is not a ia &
dodger, but that he overpaid his
taxes and cite the court decision In
evidence. Erzberger was neitherl
fined nor ordered to pay up back
taxes.
The political fight over Ersber-
ger is OF the greatest Importance
to the allies for the reason that
II Erzberger Is finally politically
cleared, he will probably return toI
the cabinet and the entente will
have the assistance in the fulfill
ment of the treaty of one of the
political group through whose in
fluence the treaty was signed.

RED CROSS DOING
GREAT WORK HERE

/ The past month has been an i'm
ually busy month at the Red Cross
office. Three families of boys have
been fitted with suits from the clothes
closet, so that they might attend
school, and three very serious cases
| dealing with girls of about eighteen,
have come under the secretary's care.
Efforts have been made to place a
little crippled girl where she will re-
ceive better care than it is possible
for her to receive at home; a family
of children have arrived to stay with
their grandparents as a result of Red
Cross efforts, rather than to be left
in distant city under the care Of the
Red Cross there; three children de-
serted by the mother were placed in
an orphanage as the best solution Of
an unhappy home situation; special
care has been given a tubercular pa
tient who required constant atten-
ton; milk, medicine and other forms
of relief have been given to large
nuhber of families.
The total amount spent by the
home service department was $114.33.
When one considers that this or
ganization is the only nOn-sectarian
relief organization in this city, where
social service is ever an essential part
of our daily life, it seems that every
membership during the Roll Call this
fall should be a donation far sur
passing the membership dues.
During wartime everyone under
stood the policy of the Red Cross,
but it should no longer be thought
of absolutely in the terms of war
time organ for although it serves the
soldier still, it serves the family from
which the soldier came, as we'll, And
it is our families and our men here
in our city that will receive benefit
from the Red Cross of Washington
Parish.

HOPPENS OFFICIALLY
WELCOMED AT PARTY

/ Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. H E. Hop

evening, welcoming them back to Be-
galusa after an absence of about four
years. Mr.. Hopper returns to our
city to again take charge of the Y.
NJ. C. A, in which capacity he served
for period Of five years prior to the
world war when he enlisted in the
Army and Navy Y, NJ. C. A. work.
An elaborate program consisting of
song, speeches, informal stunts, the
most interesting of which proved to
be "mOck trial." when Mr.. Hoppen
was charged with "crimes too num-
erous to MENTION" by the members
of the board of directors. Judge C.
Ellis OFT, welded the gavel, which
made it seem almost too reaL ].
K. Johnson handled his part well as
prosecuting attorney, while X. /.
Bean did wonderful work as lawyer
for the defendant. w. J. WiIough-
by was clerk of the court and G. L.
johnson, sheriff, The most enjoy.
able part of the performance was
the selection of a jury composed of
ladies present. We are sorry that
space will not permit detail descrip-
ton. Needless to say, however, the
accused was acquitted.
Mrs. c. L. Johnson presented Mr..
Hopper with beautiful bouquet of
celery, green onions and other flow
ers daintily tied with several yards of
red, white and blue bunting and
large horse shoe attached, a token of
good luck, to which he responded most
magnamimously. Mrs. Hopper re-
ceived a beautiful basket of vege-
tables, presented for the company
present by Mr.. Wiloughby.
A solo by Mrs. Robert Ball, accom-
panied by Miss Maud Ard, was very
much enjoyed. Refreshments, con-
sisting of a dainty salad course and
hot chocolate was served by the So
cial committee of the Y. w. C. A.,
under the direction of Mrs. Frank

Losses In America
Foreign Trade

Washington, Oct. 12.-Values of
imports and exports of merchandise
each fell off materially during Sep
TENDER, according to figures made
public today by the department of
commerce. Imports for September
were $180,O00 the lowest for any
month this year.
Exports last month totalled $685.
100000 only $5,000,000 more than
the lowest month this year, July, and
S46, 100000 below the August record.
Both imports and exports were appro-
ximately so per cent below the to-
tails for September, 1920.
September imports of gold totalled
S66,515,0O0 or approximately $780,
100000 below the imports of Aug
ust, but S15, 000,0 900 above the inn
ports of September, 1872. Silver i'm
ports dropped from s7,s52,OO0 in
August to $4,565, 900 for September.
Silver imports for September last
year were $6,501, 900.
Exports of gold took a decided
jump from August to September, the
comparative figures being ~s671, 900
for August and $2,448, 900 for Sep
TENDER. Silver exports also showed
an increase fore the month, $4,946,-

.Bogalusa Boosters
Leave for Meridian


Three cars carrying eleven Boga-
] lusa boosters and headed by Chair
man H. E. Roster, left here Monday
afternoon bound for the Mississippi
Valley Highway Association conven-
ton in Meridian,
The committee Of ladies' who were
to accompany the party notified
President Talley Monday morning
that owing to the illness of Mrs. w.
G.. Magee they would be unable to
attend.
The three cars were generously
plastered with placards telling of the
wonders of Bogalusa and the dele
gates carried with them five hundred
Bogalusa booklets and a supply Of
postcards.
The party was met at Poplarville
by four carloads of Pearl River coun-
ty boosters who, headed by Fred w.
Smith and Ex-Governor Bilbo, accom-
panied the Bogalusians on their trip.
An effort will be made to have Be-
galusa selected as the next conven-
tion city, and while it is believed that
since the convention this year is held
should be held in one of the Northern
cities, the effort made by the Boga-
lusa party will attract sufficient at
tention to have this place selected as
the 1923 city.
BogaIusa has just lately been plac-
ed on the highway route, as heretofore
the highway turned west at Hatties-
burg and went by way of Columbia
and McComb to Hammond instead Of
via Poplarville, Bogalusa and. COying-
ton, and If Bogalusa does manage to
secure the convention it will mean
quite a bit to the local Chamber Of
whG- has gone to consider
able trouble and expense to secure
the re-routing of the chest marked
and organized highway in the world"
The highway stretches from Ely,
Wis, to New Orleans, distance of
more than 1900 miles, taking in on
the route the cities of Duluth, Min
1eapolis, st. Louis, Chicago, Cairo and
other large cities. -a
At Merriam the trail divides and one
section continued on towards New
Orleans the other going on to Mobile,
at Hattiesburg the trail divides again
and road leads, TO Gulfport.
Those in the Bogalusa party are
