1 Mayor !Behrman is always on the
t lookout for Algiers' interests as is
shown by his early protest to the
Housing Corporation, regarding the
cancellation of their order to build
f the fifty cottages as had been plan
s ned.
Mayor Behrman sent the following
e telegram on the 22nd:
From:-Mayor 'Martin Behrman,
e Mayor, New Orleans, La.
e To:-United 'States Housing Cbrpo
ration, 613 G. Street, Northwest,
i Washington, D. C.
New Orleans, La., Nov. 18th, 1918.
y Your local project engineer, Mr.
r Billingaley, has brought to my at
tention, the fact of your Algiers
housing development being held up
pending a further decision in the
s matter now that war activities have!
been terminated. You are no doubt
familiar with the fact that your de
velopment in Algiers will supply
e housing facilities that are as greatly
c needed now as prior to the termi
nation of the war. The United States
a Government has millions of dollars
invested in the Naval Station and
without a doubt these facilities will
havn to be used to a maximum for
some time to come. Under the
circumstances, I would urge that
you bear in mind this phase of the
i local situation in your further con
sideration of your intended local de
velopment. As we have already
s evidenced, you can be assured of
a our hearty co-operation in any work
a you carry out in this district.
MARTIN BEHRMAN, Mayor.
m The following message was re
a ceived in reply to this telegram:
p "From:--Otton M. Eldlltz, Presi
dent, United States Housing Cor
-poration, Washington, D. C.
To:-Hon. Martin Behrman, Mayor,
J City of New Orleans:
"Dear Sir:
"In view of the fact that the war
emergency is over, this Bureau Is
not in a position to continue the Al
glers housing development. It does
s not follow, however, that this may
not be taken up at a later date by
either our successors or some other
1 Government activity.
"Very truly yours,

It Is encouraging to know that
the statlo; will be kept busy for

CLEMENCEAU VISITS YANKS IN BATTLE OF CHATEAU THIERRY
1-4%
One of the first photographs of the actual battle of Chateau Thierry, in which the gallant American soldiersi
uccessfully stopped, defeated and drove back the German hordes, is here presented and shows Premier Clemen
,esau, in cvlllani attire, and General Mordacq at his right, surrounded by the American fighters of the battle, viewing
the remains of the annihilated German troops.
A. P. L. URGED TO
KEEP UP WORK
the American Protective League
was called upon in a letter Tuesday
from Attorney General Gregory to
continue its co-operation with the
department of justice. It is espec
ially asked to report illegal activi
ties during the discussion of peace
terms.
"I feel it my duty at the present
juhcture," said the attorney general,
"to call upon the officers and mem
bers of the Anerican Protective Lea
gue to carry on steadfastly for the
present their most effective aid and
co-operation with the department
of Justice."
The sudden end of hostilities, said
Mr. Gregory, had the effect of slow
ing up patriotlc work, which might
be productive of serious conse
quences. The work of the league,
he said, had been a powerful factor
in winning the war and in stamping
out disloyalty. These services can
not as yet be dispenseq with, said
Mr. Gregory.
The National Protective League
was organised March 22, 1917, and
now has a membership of 250,000
and branch organizations in every
large city and town in the country.
Offleers and men have served with
out pay and without rendering ex
pease accounts.
The organisation has eonducted
apwards -oL 3,000,000 inestigations
for the government.
(n our district, the branch of the
A. P. L. is composed of about twenty
five members.
ENJOYABLE EVENINGO.
Last Monday evening a- jolly
crowd of young folks met at the home
of Miss 'Myrtle uatherland in Pacific
Ave., and spent a most enjoyable
evening. Dancing was indulged in

in jail."
D. 8. &. OLUB.
In spite of the inclement weather
Monday night, the members qf the
D. 8. 6. Club gathered together at
the home of Miss Uhler Sadler for
their weekly meeting. Everyone
had just gotten comfortably seated
when Mr. Dewey Thorning arrived.
Of course there was quite a commo
tion then, for none of us knew that
he was in town even, and therefore
were very much surpr ed at his sad
den appearance. Upon his arrival
we decided to dispense with business
and give all of our attention to our
distinguished guest, who had been
to France about six times.' Mr.
Francis Sadler and Miss Annie D.
Sadler gave some very beautiful se
lections on the violin, and Miss
Uhler Sadler and Miss Anna Vander
linden entertained us with selections
on the plano, Most delicious re
freshments were served, and Mr.
Thorning gave some very interesting
accounts of his life as a seaman. It
was late when the meeting adjourned
and everyone acknowledged that Miss
Uhler Sadler was a most charming
and tactful hostess.
DMN NORTH RETIRR.

American Laundry man of Algiers,

ing transferred his route to Mr.

TEA CHERS GIVE
TEN DOLLAR RAISE
Dating from September 16, every

a month, while janitors will receive
from $5 to $10 increases.
This action was taken ,by the
school board at its regular meeting
Friday night.
The teachers this session will be
paid for 9 1-4 months, netting them
an increase of $92.50.
It was decided that pupils from
Jefferson parish attending the even

HOUSING PLAN IS STOPPED.
-Mayor Behrman" received a mes
sage Monday from H. W. Eldlits,
president of the United States Hous
ing Corporation, advising that the
housing project under way at Algiers
will be stopped.
The plan was to build 200 cot
tages for the industrial workers at
the Algiers Naval Station.
Mr. Eldlits says that the war
emergency bendg over the corpora
tion is not in position to continue
the housing development here. He
says, however, that this order does
not mean the work may not be taken
up later by either the successors to
the corporation or other government
activities.

Commander E. C. Hamner, U. S.
N., was given a dinner and presented
with a gold -watch and chain at the

New Orleans-"Red Cross during the
civil war? Why bless you, there was
no such thing-nor any other organi
zation to relieve the suffering and dis
tress of the wounded soldiers."
And Rev. Gordon Bakewe'l sighed
deeply and there was a break in his
voice as he reviewed those days of
warfare in which he took so active
part.
"With due respect to our boys, they
will never see war as we have seen
it." continued Rev. Bakewell. "thanks
to the noble work of the Red Cross.
In those days there were more who
died through ignorance, lackof proper
attention, and avoidable disease than
from the Yankees' bullets. As for
those that were killed, their lot was
fortunate compared to that of the
poor, wounded wretches.
"To be sure, we chaplains did our
bit in the line of doctoring and nurs
ing. During a big battle we were at
the front among the soldiers, cheer
inag onthe fighters, rendering what
assistance we could to the wounded,
and praying with the dying.
"Training? Why, two days on the
battlefield was all the training we re
quired. I tell you we were experts on
all the first aid problems," boasted the
old veteran.
No Canteens in 15861.
"And after many days of ceaseless
fightinlg-what then? No smiling-faced
youns women-I believe you call them
canteen workers-to serve hot choco
late and coffee to the worn out fighters
-often not cveu a little watir to
quench their fevered thirst. As for
food, that was pretty often out of the
question. When we wanted food we
had to fight for itL"

M.DON(OH NO. 4 SCHOOL.
Mr. M. W. Hymes, Assistant Superin
tendent of our Public Schools, visited
McDonogh No. 4, on Monday of last
week. After visiting each departmental
grade, he professed himself as very
well-pleased with the work being done
in these grades. Everyone enjoyed his
visit very much, and it is hoped that
the well-chosen remarks he gave to
the boys, will serve as an Inspiration
to them to do their best work in the
coming session.
The practice of both class and
individual athletics is progressing
daily undeir the supervision of the
teachers.
The standing broad jump is the
event scheduled for this season of the
year. To earn a gold badge, a boy
must jump 7 ft 9-in, and to get a
bronze badge, 5 ft. 9-in.
A called meeting of the McDonogh
No. 4, Co-operative Club was held in
the school Tlesday, November 26, at
7:30 p. m. Materrs of importance were
discussed and there was every indica
tioon that the club was progressing
excellently in every way.
An impressive and interesting e
mony took place on the school grounds
Monday morning. An old United 8tates
flag was burned in the presence of
the'assembled school, while the pupils
and teachers said the pledge and sang

0sJ Stop b asmt further
experiences of a soldier as well as the
somewhat tamer experiences of a
chaplain. He first enlisted as an order
ly sergeant, and, after the battle of
Shiloh received an honorable discharge
on account of illheaitu. Upon his
recovery he re-enlisted as a chaplain.
One of the stories he delights telling
is how he escaped being shot as a
spy. He was on the train when he
met two young Virginians "who had
never smelt gunpowder" and boasting
how they would "do the Yankees up."
"I remarked." said Rev. Bakewell.
"that though our enemies, they had
made us respect their fighting even
at the cannon's mouth. When the
train stopped at Atlanta, two de
tectives immediately arrested the
young soldier. He knew what was in
store for him-he would be tarred and
feathered, and hung without Judge or
jury. Fortunately, Judah P. Benjamin,
then secretary of State to the Con
federacy, was passing through Atlanta.
The suspected young soldier was well
known to the Secretary, who vouched
for his loyalty and begged him to ex
cuse the disasgreeable mistake. The
soldier was immediately released.
"When I went back on the train,
everybody wanted to hear abshout my
exciting experience. Tired of tellinag
and retelling the story, I stood in one
of the cars and told the passengers
all about it."
Praises Red Cress s
Rev. Bakewell is ninetysix years
old, and has been in charge of Trinity
Chapel in New Orleans, since 184. He
has laken a keen interest in the work
of tie Red Cross and in all war ac
tivities. He regards membership in
the Red Cross a sacred privilege.
