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, (Signed) O'TT M. EIIelaTZ, "President."

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.

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.

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" Rev. Bakewell has hd the thrilling SCHIOL ilST.S 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.

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. BELLEVILLE NOT1S.
