MASS MEElIIG SUCCESS
Government Agents Round Up Men.
Mayor Behrman made an earnest
appeal to the Algerines to rally to
the aid of the government in the
present appeal for funds and to sub
scribe as liberally as possible to the
Third Liberty Bond issue, lie urged
every man, woman and child to do
their utmost to help New Orleans to
"go over the top" in the forthcoming
drive. The Mayor was the principal
speaker at the meeting in Electric
Park Friday night, where 1,500 per
sons gathered and remained through
out the proceedings.
E. W. Burgis was chairman of the
meeting and, besides Mayor Behr
man, the speakers were James W
Porch, Private A. M. Kovatchy of
Battery E, Sixty-fourth Artillery:
Judge Rufus E. Foster and James
O'Connor. All the speakers pointed
to the importance of the success of
the drive for the new Liberty Loan
and appealed to the patriotism of the
people.
Round Up Men.
A round-up of men within the draft
age took place Friday night. The
streets were "alive" until midnight
and it was even after that hour be
fore many of those detained by the
Federal authorities were able to go
home.
Just before the hour at which the
two patriotic meetings were sched
uled to begin, autos bearing special
agents of the Department of Justice
crossed the river and soon these men
were busy stopping young men who
appeared to be within the age limits
of the draft, requiring all to produce
their registration cards. Those who
could not show these paeteboards
were detained while friends went to
their homes and secured them or
until they had otherwise satisfacto
rily explained their failure to have
them in their possession.
While the government agents
would not disclose any facts in con
nection with their visit to Algiers
and Gretna, it was said that the pur
pose was to locate "slackers."
132 Were In Party
The raid was conducted under the
supervision of Forrest C. Pendleton,
division superintendent of the De
partment of Justice. They left in
thirty-two automobiles for their va
rious stations early in the evening
and attacked simultaneously the en
tire front at 8 o'clock. Moving pic
ture shows, drug stores, dance halls,
restaurants, barrooms-wherever men
were gathered together, were visited.
Not a single slacker was found in
Algiers. "Last night's raid proves
conclusively," said Mr. Pendleton.
"that everybody of registrable age in
Algiers has done hie duty like a man.
Only about eight were found there
who didn't have their cards on their
person, and they had no trouble in
convincing us that they had com
pl1ed w g ~,t lw.'
MAYOR WILL ADDRESS FOREIGN
TRADES MEET.
Mayor Behrman left Tuesday to
attend the National Foreign Trades
Council's meeting in Cincinnati,
April 18, 19 and 20. At this meet
ing will be congregated most of the
big business men of the United
States, with James T. Farrell, chair
man of the United States Steel Cor
poration, presiding.
Mayor Behrman will address the
council and take part later in a war
commerce discussion.
CARRY YOUR REGISTRATION
CARD.
District Superintendent Forrest C.
Pendleton of the Department of Jus
tice issued a notice calling attention
to men within the draft age of the
risk of circulating through the
streets without their. classificalion
cards. During a raid conducted re
cently by 'Department of Justice
agents and members of the American
Protective League, a large number
of men were placed under arrest
simply because they were unable to
produce classification cards when re
quested to do so by the officers.
While some were released after
producing proper credentials, a great
many others were obliged to spend
the night in jail.

The Confessions of a German Deserter
One of the Most Sensational Exposures of the War.
Read What a German Deserter Tells of the German Soldiers-of the
- Ravaging of Women and Children
The author of this remarkable narrative---a young German now living in
America---was a lieutenant of engineers with Von Kluck's army when it
crossed the Belgian frontier in its mad rush toward Paris. After several
months of service- his conscience revolted at the atrocities he saw and was
forced to perpetrate and he seized the first opportunity to desert. His
chance came when he was wounded and sent to a hospital. He escaped over
the Dutch frontier and finally reached America. He is here now, register
ed as an alien enemy..
In this narrative which is true and absolutely authentic, he tells the
terrible story of the pillaging and ravaging of Belgium and Northern
France, as it can be told only by one who witnessed the wild orgy of death
and destruction. He writes only of what he saw and did---and that's
enough.
The nameuthor of the author of these confessions is suppressed because he
has brothers and other relatives still in the German army. If his identity
should be disclosed, thee relatives would face terrible reprisals at the hands
of the German war lords. He is now living in Chicago and his bride, an
American nurse whom he married in Europe after his escape from Ger
many. . _u .
The following excerpts are typical of the entire narrative.
"Residences, cellars, streets and sidewalks were heaped with dead. The houses were in
ruins; women and children, soldiers and citizens were lying where the shells had hurled
them. There was a Belgian woman lying next to a Belgian baby; close by lay a man
of uncertain years. Both of his legs were burned to the knees. His wife lay on his breast
and sobbed pitifully. NO ONE HAD TIME TO BOTHER WITH THEM. OUR
LEADER DECLARED THAT SUCH A THING AS PITY WAS INSANITY."
"We drove them back-burning and ransacking, house by house, street by street-our
company was given orders to kill without discrimination-Belgian dead numbered as
many civilians as soldiers-at least 8o per cent of the cruelties reported to have been
committed were only too true."
The Herald has secured the exclusive right for the publication of thibs
narrative. The first installment will aoppear in our next issue.

known as "Martin Behrman Admin
istrdton Biography, 1910-1916.
It is primarily a souvenir of the
Hen. Martin Behrman's twelfth an
anniversary, as Jdayor of New Or
Supplemental to its main object,
this book embodies a story indicat
ing, in outline the wonderful devel
opment of ,New Orleans during this
eventful period.
It not only presents an instructive
view of New Orleans in all its rela
tions, but the book is replete with a
series of plictares, illustrative of the
city's many interesting and usetnful
features--its notable public build
ings, institutions of learning, the
great business emporium, palatial
homes, lovely avenues, parks, rail
roads and in fact, every other evi
dence of progress manifested on
every hand, with photographs of
State and City officials as well as
those of representative citizens.
We feel very proud of this gift
and will place it in the library,
where it will prove a very valuable
addition thereto.

weather fr lthe first four tlays out
and tIhen comelns a ile' little storm
and Oh. Ilmy how it did blow, lasted
for three days.
Owing to above condiltion we were
just like a ceork on the water, pitched
andl tossted arollntl. could not lie down
1to slteep. not unless you strapped your
self in your bunk and even then It
was a hard job to get to sleep, set
down to eat. nothing doing in that
line, stand up and balance your cup
or plate or whatever you had ,the
best way you could. Coffee was the
only hot thing that we had for it was
impossible to cook anything. Well,
we came out through that one 0. K.,
weather cleared away. Two days af
terwards, stiff breeze head on, pretty
big swell running, sighted a vessel in
distress off starboard bow, flying dis
tress signals, hauled over towards her
and found out that he had a loose
wheel. the joke of it was just as we
reached him we broke down; circulat
ing pump on condenser let go. Wind
and sea increasing, we bobbed around
for six hours, while repairs were be
ing made. getting underway again at
9 p. m. (This ship had been drifting
around for 11 days, we being the first
one to pick her up in that length of
time). We radioed into the Azores
for assistance for him and then pro
ceeded on our way. The next day
ran into another storm and believe
me I was introduced right then and
there to what a regular storm was,
the wind howling through the rigging
and the old ship doing everything but
turn upside down, night just as dark
as could be, the nearest to our course
was four points off wheel, held over
for 16 solid hours on a stretch. We
certainly did roll some, exactly 42 de
grees by register; all we could do
was stand by and look on and watch
her roll, and wonder whether the next
wave was going over her or it she
was going to pick herself up. When
she would go down in the trough you
could not see over the top of the
swell and our bridge t -88 feet from
the water's edge. Make headway?
Yes, eight-tenths of a knot was the
best we could do. Well, we hung and
fought on for 16 to 18 hours, and then
we were compelled to run before the
gale. The rolling was bad but the
pitching was worse; half the time she
would not pick herself up in time be
fore the next one would come right
over. I thought two or three times
the end was near; it is wonderful
what a ship will stand. The next
morning wind had gone down to or
dinary breeze and by noon the sea
had calmed down enough to allow us
to get back on our course; once more
head wind and sea all the way, trav
