FRENCH CABINET
Z STRENGTHENED

Aristide BRAND has been made pre-
mier of France, has named a strong
cabinet and has been assured of the
support of all parties except the Radi-
calls. giving him a majority of about
400 in the chamber. He has himself
taken the portfolio of foreign affairs,
and on Thursday he read to parliament
the cabinets declaration of policy.
This paved the way for the confer
this week in Paris. The subjects I'M
der discussion are PREPARATIONS and dis
armament of Germany, Austria and
Turkey, and the affairs of Greece. The
matter of reparations is the most Sc
rious, and it was expected Lloyd
George and BRAND would find diff
Guilty in reaching an accord on it. a
story from Berlin that the British and
French had arrived at a new basis for
negotiating the reparations question,
was denied by British officials, who
said the lump sum" policy remained
in force, though a plan for five-year
annual payments is being discussed.
There is no likelihood that any of the
pleas of Germany will be granted
The official German report on the
carrying out of the terms of the Yer
si.illes treaty has been completed, and
asserts that the total value of the
property so far turned over to the
entente is 000,000,000. BY far the
largest single item is the merchant
fleet of more than 100000 tons, val
ued at ,000000,000.

BY EDWARD W. PIcKAR0.

Congress took action on two import
ant and interesting matters last week.
one Of these related to the national
defense. The senate. which had voted
for reduction Of the strength Of the
army TO 100000 men, Reconstructed lis
vote ana repassed the New resolution
directing die secretary of war to sus-
pend enlistments until a reduction to
175.00O men was accomplished. The
house promptly passed similar reso-
lution almost unanimously, and the
measure went to the President 1t
was expected, in view of the opposition
of the war department, that Mr. VII
son would veto it, and that congress
would pass it over the veto.
This is supposed to be u measure OF
economy which will save about forty
million dollars year to the govern
meut. The senate was restrained from
beIng even more economical only by
REPRESENTATIONS from Secretary OF War
Baker chat the 10000 limit would
unset the departments plans for army
organization, and from General Perish
ing that 100000 men was the bottom
limit of safety. of course the sena-
TORS in This connection debated the
yellow peril" Phelan of California
asserted the necessity for large garri-
sens in Pacific possessions was greater
now than during the war, while Reed
and Williams ridiculed the danger
and said japan never would dare to
attack the United States without the
assistance of Great Britain.
1t is likely that the latter view is
that generally held IN America except
by tbe people OF tlie pacific coast, to
whom the japanese peril looms large.
1t accords, also, with the expert opin-
ion of the German Admiral Seheer,
who says it would be almost impossi-
BILE for Japan to land an army On
American soil. Some people have
grown excited over the murder OF an
American navy lieutenant by Japa-
uese sentry in NladIyo-tok. There is
no doubt that this affair win be set
tied AUTOMATICALLY, though the sharp
uats from Washington, virtually ques-
uoulag Japan's right in the Siberian
risr. may result in an acrid exchange
The arbitrary actions Of the Japanese
authorities in VladivDstok, which they
hold under military rule, have caused
good deal OF irritation-but the gov
eminent in Tokyo IS too smooth II
permit them to Iced to hostilities witt

Harding Not Rushed ON
Cabinet Announcements

Mr.. Harding has departed for Flor
ida without making public his cabinet
selections, but before leaving Marion
he said he might be able to announce
the personnel of his official family af-
! ter settling down in st. Augustine next
month He declined to discuss the
iattempt of certain senators and others
1 to induce him to substitute Elihu Root
for Charles Z. Hughes as secretary of
state, and indeed he never has said
that he had chosen Mr.. Hughes for
that place, though it is taken for
granted by some of the correspond
ents. One rumor Mr.. Harding did dis
pose of-that there would be a Demo
crat in his cabinet. He said the men,
bers would all be Republicans, but
would not be selected solely because
of party obligations. Fred Upham.
committee, is responsible for the state
ment that one and possibly two men,
bers of the cabinet will be from the
South.
The Republican majority in the SEN
ate has decided that no more of Presi-
dent Wilson'S army and navy appoint
ments shall be confirmed, with the
exception of some 5000 minor officers
commissioned under the army reor-
ganization act. The appointments Of
eleven major generals and of hun
dreds of high army and navy officials
in bureaus and departments will not

aforesaid anyone in the county who

from the local farmers organizations.
The American Federation would be
made up of the State declarations. 1t
would thus be an organization made
up of farmers.
We do not have a State federation
in Pennsylvania. In some States they
nave already been organized. The
desire of farmers for the organiza-
ton has been shown by the fact that
in one month one million farmers have
Joined the federation.
The declarations have appointed
committees to carry out their work

worked out lower freight rate than
farmers would otherwise have been
able to receive the advantage of.
1t is not the idea of the Federation
of Farm Bureaus to do any of the
work of the Grange or Farmers Clubs
nor to counteract the work of these
organizations. The men at the head
of this organization are men who are
farmer-minded. 1t is planning to do
good to all the farmers of the
country.
Mrs. Hurley asked why the State
Grange voiced a sentiment against
the Federation of Farm Bureaus. Mr..
CARRIER things the opposite is due to
the fact that most new things in Penn
sylvania are criticised. Mr.. Preston
said that other States oranges men
did not object to it, only Pennsyl-
vania's. There are now thirty eight
States in the American Federation of
Farm Bureaus. 1t is especially strong
in New Jersey, New York and in the
New England States. A question about
the selling of shares Of stock in the
federation was raised. Mr.. CARRIER
said that this is mistaken idea.
There are no shares, but a system
of dues that differ according to the
county organizations. Mr.. Johnson
reported New Jersey men paying S.
year, with the privilege of annull-
ing their contract at the end of the
first year if they are not satisfied with
the work of the federation.
The club then adjourned to meet
March 10 at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. N. Hubert Walton.

MASS MEETING FOR BUILDING
HOTEL.

Pursuant to public call, large
number representative citizens as
s4nbled at the K. C. Hall Monday
evening to discuss the proposl-
ZION of a tourist hotel for Bay st.
Lois.
III. C.. Black was chairman Of the
meeting and made an address setting
forth the advantages of Bay st.
L4uis as health resort and a point
Of attraction to pleasure seekers and
CT the building of large hotel such
as would meet the needs SO keenly
felt a. present and to take care OF
all guests who would be attracted
hither by the fact that such hotel
as proposed would be here to take
care of them. A number of others
were called upon by the chairman to
express their views regarding the
project, and after many expressions,
it was plainly evident that the senti-
ment of the town is unanimous for
the building of the hotel. That it
would prove a paying proposition
there was no doubt, for the lack was
so keenly felt.
The meeting resolved in the ap-
pointment of committee of six this
committee to appoint six other
members in vacation, and after
making a thorough investigation
along the lines concerned to report
back to the meeting. The six ap-
pointed are: Leo. w. Seal, John
Osoinach, Ernest J. Leonhard, Edw.
Schwartz, Jos. O. Mauffray, C. G.
Moreau. This committee with its
other members will meet On Tues
day night in the rooms of the Han
cock County Bank, when recommen-
dations will be adopted and the re-
port drawn for presentation.
From expressions heard at the
mass meeting and of members of
the committee it is gathered that a
hotel costing approximately $780,
10000, would meet requirements for
present and immediate future
The mass meeting has given the
proposition splendid impetus and
it is reasonable to expect the hotel
will be built in due time.

DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE WO.
MAN IN NEW ORLEANS.

The news of the death of Mrs. An
thony Matranga, which occurred at
the family home in New Orleans on
Thursday afternoon at A 80 o'clock,
was received in this city shortly af-
ter that hour with much regret, and
much sympathy is expressed by the
community for Mr.. and Mrs. H. c..
Glover, the latter daughter of the
deceased, and a resident of Bay St.
Louis.
Mrs. Matranga had not been in
very good health for sometime past,
and only recently she returned to her
home in New Orleans after spend
ing several weeks in Bay st. Louis,
her stay here restoring her impaired
health. However, a few days since
she was taken suddenly ill, pneu-
monia developed and death resulted.
She was a native of Ustica, Italy,
aged 81 years. She is survived by
one son and three daughters, all OF
" hon are well-known locally. Be-
fore her marriage she was Miss jose
phine Bertucci and prior to her death
had been a widow for some years.
Mrs. Matranga was well-known in
Bay st. Louis, having resided here
for quite a number of years at the
home on the beach front, corner
Goodchildren street. She was a most
estimable woman, beloved by all who
knew her best. Her charities were
various and many, and at all times
was a most active church worker, a
devout Catholic all her life. Her life
was one embellished with all the
characteristics of truly a Christian
her virtues of charity, Christian and
corporal, were many, and her demise
is truly distinct loss.
The funeral will take place in New
Orleans from the late residence in
Canal street, interment at Metaire
cemetery, late this afternoon.

TWENTY MILLION DOLLAR NE.
GRO WOMAN.

NEW ORLEANS, May 2.-Lillie
Taylor, negro woman, was awarded
oil and mineral rights in property in
Claiborne parish said to amount to
$20,000,000 in a decision rendered
Monday by the State Supreme court.
This decision was rendered in a
Sit brought by the Taylor woman
against Angeline Allen and George
West, claimants to the property.
According to the evidence offered
in the case, the woman's father, of
whom she was alleged to be an illegi-
innate child, sold the property, to
Angeline Allen and George West,
but did not give them quit claim
deed.
The parentage of the Taylor wo-
nan was said to have been the chief
issue in the trial of the case. The
court decision then confirmed the
claim of the Taylor woman that she
is the child of the original owner of
the property in question.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Editor Sea Coast Echo:

Editor Sea Coast Echo:
Absence from the city prevented
US from replying to your comments
14th, in your last issue. However,
we take the first opportunity of do
ing so upon or return, and request
that you give the following space IN
your next issue.
In our former article We treated
your report of the mass meeting
mentioned as an expression of your
individual views, and we are glad to
note that we were not mistaken In
this. and that the whole report had
the editorial sanction and approval.
We are also glad to note that you
acknowledged your error regarding
the number and purpose Of our visits
TO Jackson.
You state that "the Echo has no
recollection nor is it aware of any
intention on it's part and that you
do not think it has been charged by
any of the speakers at. the recent
courthouse meeting that the Tax
payers League has misrepresented
conditions In Hancock County, and
yet in your former article you stated
that ''the impression has been es-
tablished at Jackson in the minds of
the members Of the State Tax Com
mission that Hancock County land
and other property owners were
on our communication dated April
practically tax dodgers inasmuch as
a committee of gentlemen represent
ing an association recently formed
in Bay St. Louis had journeyed hith-
er, and had made it appear to the
commission that our assessments are
low, ETC." Now it occurs to us that
these statements are just little in
consistent, especially in view of the
statement little further back in the
former article that Hancock County
carries an assessment comparatively
far in excess of even the rich coun-
ties in the delta" AS the lawyers
sometimes say in court 'letss keep
the record straight"
You further state that the Thought
The sea coast echo. [volume] (Bay Saint Louis, Miss.) 1892-current, 1921-05-07

is entertained and accepted that the
Leagues activity that we are in q
measure people of tax dodgers
etc" "And it is this result we (you)
resent no matter how pure the mo-
tive of the League might be"
Now we would like for you to be
specific and tell US just what activi-
ties of the league is here referred
to. Remember that the first mass
meeting which resulted in the or
ganization of the league simply pro-
tested against the present high rate
of taxation and the extravagant ex-
penditure of public funds, and the
second dealt solely with the question
of an estimate of the merchantable
timber in the county, while the
third was called to protest against
the raise in telephone rates. Bear in
mind also that all the correspon-
dence between the league officials
and the Tax Commission was made
public in the report of the second
mass meeting and that all the facts
relative to the various visits to Jack
son have been fully explained. Now
in the light of foregoing facts please
state specifically what activities Of
the league you fear will result in "a
raise rather that a decrease in taxa
ton.
We note your reference to the
biggest taxpayers of the county" +"
and the s'little fellow" who "like the
Arab, might over night fold his tent
and get away, if he chooses, and the
result of his departure would hardly
be perceptible." We are not sure
that we understand exactly what is
meant by this. We would like to re
mind you, however, that the league
numbers its membership several of
the largest taxpayers of the city, and
that some of the "little fellows"
whose permanent departure from
this vicinity would evidently be well
coined by certain individuals, or Gin
terests," have no intention of fold
ing their tents and stealing away in
the night or any other time. They
have pit he'd their tents to stay-re-
