The success EL!l 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. GUEYMARD TO TOUR STATE. E. P.

A. \ J 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.

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 eling some. when you make 72 miles in 30 days." "To add to our pleasant voyage we ran short of supplies, only had enough to run 20 days and we were out ex actly 27 days; water went bad, and the worst was, no tobacco for 10 days before reaching port, well we were In troduced to tea and coffee, the only thing we had that we could smoke." "The first signal that was sent upon entering the roads was to the Sag ship for 100 sacks of Buall Durham, we received same and when distrlbut ed one would have thought the ship on fire, smoke coming from all parts at one time."
