Fighting on Grand Scale
Belgium and France
—
Allies Prepare For G'ea
Asamsl the Germans
"^ ent About ^
IndicaJtion point to an early re
sumption of operations on a grand
scale in Belgium and France, if, in
deed, they have not already begun
in Flanders and Champagne. A sign
ificant statement in the latest Berlin
-Thcial communication say.« that in
Handers and Champagne "the fight
» it acti'ity has been re d /il dt so-
irai -oints.''
Aside from this there is no inf>r
aation ss to the exact state of af
fairs. In Champagne the Germans
have made an attempt t> recapture
positions between Mont Blond and
Mont Carnillet taken by the French
Monday, but met with repulse, suf
fering heavy casualties. To the
northwest, around^ Craonne, heavy
artillery duels are being fought.
Secretary Palmer, of the Berwick
and Mocgsn City Chamber of Com
merce, » «hrtog the promoters all
the information that they desire and
says that the future of Morgan City
as a great steel and wooden ship
building base is established.

fair to assume , that millions of men
who have registered feel, as they
describe it themselves "unsettled."
Subject to call, they do not know
whether they are to be called or
not. Plans for the future, for the
few months, if not weeks, must be
held in abeyance. Employers and
employees are both afffected.
The government realizes this and
presumably will proceed reaidly to
relieve the situation. In the mean
time plans must wait, and it is un
wise for anyone not clearly exempt
on the basis of physical condition to
count much on exemption based on
other grounds. A claim for exempt
iion on this registration blank means
nothing, and even a formal claim
made later on, conforming to the re
gulations, is a far cry from actual
exemption itself.

Tomorrow Matinee and Night Benefit for the St Mary
Chapter at The Arcade
Tag Day is in full swing, and it
will be quite a bit of diplomacy to
escape being "tagged." But no one
will refuse such an honor and priv
ilege when the tagging is done by
such pretty young Red Cross at
tendants with such smiling counte
nances and thankful words. The lad
ies managers of the Tag Day will
see that a substantial "tagging" will
take place in Morgan City. T.he Tag
Day is well-managed by Mesdames
T. E. Dreher, T. W. Schmidt, Maur
ice Blum, Hy. Loeb, E. A. Pharr,
and E. E. Moberly Jr. They have a
fine corps of active young ladies
dressed in the regulation uniform—
white dress and white cap, with the
insignia of the A.R.C.—a red cross:
the sight of it reminding of the suf
ferings, of the wounds, of the limbs
tom-apart, every day occurance, on
the various battle-fields; but at the
same time the knowledge comes to
you of the quick, sweet ministrations
of the gentle members of the Red
Cross. But the last is only possible
if we, who stay at home are contri
buting all we can, and often, to St.
Mary Chapter.
The following young ladies are in
active service "tagging" and com
petition is keen among them: Misses
Freida Bass, Neta Shannon, Leta
Phohaska, Bernice Williams, Inez,
Williams, Eulah Adams, Nellie Dur
ham, Henrietta Greenwald, Nanette j
Morias, Blanche O'Brien, Mattie
Boyle, Fannie Goldman, Loiiise

NOT WHAT WE GIVE
BUT WHAT WE SHARE
Thousands of times this week ob
jection to the appeal of the Red
Cross will be made on the ground
that "I have just bought so many
Liberty Bonds, I have contributed
so much here and so much there,
taxes is very high and the cost of liv
ing is growing."
It is not a question of giving.
Neither is it a question of charity.
It is a question of duty. Duty to that
country and those principles for
which we thrive. It is
alone and not inconveniences that is
going to preserve this country and
those principles so close to the heart
of all true Americans. We are going
to sacrfice our money now or both
OU r money and our national honor
—which is our all and all—later on.

Week To Si. Mary
Red Cross Society
The Red Cross Spirit is abroad in
the land. Every fellow is "doing bis
bit" cheerfully and enthus
iastically. Men and women are think
ing up plans whereby they can do
something extra to help out the
great American war relief move
ment, and the citizens of Morgan
City are determined that St. Mary
Parish shall furnish her full quota
and more. $5000 has been asked of
this Red Cross Chapter and it is be
lieved that the returns will not fall
under this amount In order to "do j
his bit" and a little bit more, Mr.

his sales on Saturday of this week.
In addition to the generous gift he
will make to the Red Cross, Mr.
Loeb is making concessions to the
public on goods that are new and

movement on his part to make this

it will be a patriotic as well as a
sensible business movement for the
men, women and children of this ter
ritory to remember that this big
store is not only giving ten pec cent
of its Saturday sales to the Red
