Local Men Named On Train
ing Camp Recreation Com
mittee
At the suggestion of President Wil
son, the directors of the Chamber
of Commerce of Morgan City and
Berwick have been called on to get
their organization behind the cam
paign to raise a national funl for
War Community Recreation work.
The purpose of this is to inspire the
men, increase the efficiency and
help develop the fighting spirit of the
American forces. Features of this
big work include the providing of
wholesome, healthy environment in
the communities surrounding the
ninety or more training camps and
poets.
r John N. Willys, of Toledo, automo
bile and aeroplane manufacturer, ap
pointed jointly by Secretary of War
Baker and Secretary of the Navy
Daniels as chairman of the national
committee of the War Camp Com
munity Recreation Fund, has written
a letter to each of the following, ask
ing their assistance in this vitally im
portant work:

The public is pointed out, must be
made to realize that they must help
to win the war. The "first victories"
will be won in America, and will de
pend on the way in which those who
stay at home' receive, welcome and
hearten the men who are ready to
bleed and die that democracy may
live. The work for the soldiers and
sailors in the communities outside
the camps should not be confused
with what is being done for their en
tertainment and recreation by the
Y. M. C. A., the Knights of Colum
bus, the Y. M. H. A., and in other
ways during their leisure hours in
camp.
THE UNAFRAID.
(By Mary Elizabeth Rodhouse of the
Vigilantes).
They sing to us from every age and
clime, The Unafraid.
The heroes, saints and martyrs of
old time
Who dreamed and dared, nor bowed
to adverse fate,
And they whose lot was suffering
—and to wait.
Conquerors they of earth and air
and sea,
Conquerors they of darkness and of
wrong,
Heralds of faith and truth and lib
erty
Who met the foe undoubting, with
a song:—
The Unafraid.
They call to us from every age and
clime,
The Unafraid.
"America's true sons and daughters,
rise!
Now is the day to guard that which
ye prize.
Your hour has come,—your oppor
tunity.
Up! Join the heroes of the faith sub
lime.
Shame not your fathers' dust, nor
recreant be.
Children of heroes, rise from sea to
to sea,
Ye Unafraid!"

XNCIËSr OESEND MADE GOOD
Russian Women Fighting With the
Desperation Said to Have Ani

Legend tells of an ancient nation
of female warrlo.-s, the Amazons, who
were said to htve lived in Pontus,
near the shore of the Euxlne sea,
where they maintained an Independ
ent government under the rule of a
queen. These hardy women, so runs
the tule, carried war Into many neigh
boring countries, Including Scythia and
Thrace, and to tue coasts of Asia
Minor, even penetrating to Arabia and
Egypt. They were seldom made
swallow the bitter potion of defeat
>Now, according to the war eabl
from Petrograd, woman is again tak
ing her place in battle. The "Death
Battalion" in the Russian army on tl-a
eastern front, reports say, is full in
the fight and is acquitting Itself hero
ically. We read such lines as "En
sign Mile. Vera Butchkareff has been
sent to hospital suffering from shell
shock," and "the 'Death Battalion'
rushed forward, firing their rifles with
deadly effect."
It Is a strange situation in Russia
which finds women standing fast un

ering over their own soil. If these
traitors are capable of shame, the

!
A very common Impression held
even by Canadians Is that there is lit- '
tie Canadian territory left to explore.
except on the Arctic Islands. But as
far back as 1890 Dr. George Dawson
had calculated that there were then j
about 1,000,000 square miles of unex
plored territory In western Canada,
the rest lying in the provinces of On
tario and Quebec. j
Mr. Charles Cf.msell of the geologi* j
cal survey of Canada has quite recent
ly revised Doctor Dawson's estimate,
reaching for western Canada the fig
ures of about 642,000 square miles,
while the unexplored area of northern
Quebec is represented by 250,000
square miles.
The total area of Canada Is reck
oned at 3,729,665 square miles, of
which 520,800 square miles are em
braced lu the islands of the Arctic
ocean. The unexplored area (Camsell
figures) of 901,000 square miles repre
sents almost 28 per cent of the total
area of the country.
Starvation Wiping Out Warsaw.
Warsaw under German rule is be
coming a morgue. Starvation Is on
every side. This is the gist of a let
ter received the other day In New
York, the accuracy of which Is
vouched for by the Zionist committee.
The letter says:
"Death from starvation is a real
fact; It Is witnessed all over here, in
every street, at every step, in every
house. Jewish mothers—mothers of
mercy—feel happy to see their nursing
babies die, for at least the infants are
through with suffering. Our wealth
iest people cut off their daughters'
hair, to be able to buy the indispens
able things, like bread, for their dying
children. Four and five-year-old chil
dren must be carried in the arms like
babies. Should America not ÿd
we will be lost. Fathers, shoulfi they
return from the battlefield, will meet,
of their five or six children who kissed
them good-by when they left, only one
or two."

Royal Names.
Nicholas Romanoff Is the name by
which the late czar Is mentioned in
the Russian papers. But It may be
doubted whether this is a correct use
of the word Romanoff, because mon
archs, who sign by their Christian
names only, are not supposed to have 1
surnames. In the early days, when
both surnames and customs were In
the making, they did not need them,
and, except in case of dethronement,
and not always then, they have never
needed them since. Contrary to
popular belief, Plantagenet was not a
surname. Tudor may Lave been one,
and Stuart certainly was. But Guelpb
was not; and so good an authority as
Mr. Fox-Davies holds that the present
king of England has no surname at
alL Less learned authorities have
been perplexed to know whether the
descendants of Queen Victoria did not
Inherit the surname of their father,
the Prince Consort
"Artificial Sunshine* for Crept.
Among the efforts being made by
England to get better crops, on ac
count of the threatened food crisis,
ope of the most interesting is an ex
periment in growing cereals and other
field crops with the aid of "artificial
sunshine," provided by overhead elec
tric current. This experiment under
the supervision of V. EL Blackman,
professor of plant physiology and path
ology at South Kensington, is being
carried out at Huntlngtop Court farm,
near Hereford. The purpose of the ex
periments is to continue on a large
scale work done during the last few
years near Dumfries, where in 1916 an
increase of about 50 per cent in grain
and 85 per eenj in straw was obtained
on a crop of oats.

toes far apart, as I told you?"

IRISHMEN IN COMMON BOND
Writer Sees Peculiar Opportunity for
Commonwealth l.i That Country,
for Many Reasons.
Ireland Is, perhaps, tho only country
In Europe la which n co-operative com
monwealth has a notable chance of be
ing realized. Few great Industrial in
terests have been established there.
The bulk of the people are small farm
ers whose economic status makes co
operative combinations more and more
a necessity. The people have always
worked well in combination from the
time of the Celtic clans who so ably
and for so long resisted a great mili
tary aggression fo our own time when
their combinations for boycott de
stroyed a feudal system that had the
might of an empire behind it.
Such a commonwealth, democratic
for production, aristocratic in leader-,
ship would move more and more to
ward a brotherhood. The literary
movement of today mny be n prophecy
of or perhaps a preparation for that
brotherhood. The theme of tho new
Irish poetry, as I have said, is a spir
itual democracy.
The ideal of the co-operative com
monwealth is apt to gain the alleg
iance of every vital force In the coun
try. To those who would have Ire
land an independent state it shows the
way to economic Independence; to
those who would have Ireland a resur
gent Gaelic nationality it shows th£
.way of return to a Gaelic form of so
j dal organization; to those who react
from the dreadful economic conditions
; in many parts of the country it shows
!the way to economic betterment—

PROTECTS EYES OF SOLDIERS
_
q Chain Visor Attached to Helmet le
New Device Used by British
Troops in Trenches.

!
;
A new chain visor helmet attach
ment to protect the soldiers' eyes Is
being tried by the British in France.
The visor is the Invention of Capt. R.
R. Cruise, an ophthalmic surgeon with
General Haig's forces. Around the
front of the regular steel helmet Doc
tor Cruise has placed a slender rod.
to which is attached a strip of steel,
chain mail, about three inches deep, i
This slides on the rod as easily as a j
curtain, and it can be drawn, like a ;
veil, fairly close by an ingenious con- j
trlvance and fastening. The eyes of
the wearer are thus protected against ;
»„y flying frayiDerit of .Ml or-«h„,
is almost equally dangerous—any,
stone or piece of earth thrown up by
the explosion of a shell. The
mail obscures the vision to a certain
extent, but not to such a degree that
the soldier is unable to use his rifle.
But If he wishes greater clearness ot
sight half the mall can be looped back
and one eye will still be protected.
Rifle Range Industry Brisk.
1 The rifle range industry has taken
I on a wonderful Impetus all over New
j York. Not only the men In uniform,
i but citizens of all ages and even wom
en are priming their weather eye for
emergency service against the kaiser,
j The little street ranges, with their
equipment of stationary clay pipes,
moving clay ducksi and silver balls
balanced on water spouts, have mush
roomed their way into all the thor
oughfares in which people promenade
in the evenings, and every unoccupied
store and booth has been converted
into a spot for the testing of one's
prowess with the rifle. Civilians are
in a majority among those who nighfly
try their skill at these ranges, but very
frequently a group of men in uniform
will saunter up to have a little com
I petition among themselves. The civil
ian marksmen on these occasions
usually retire for the time being.
Saving Causes Coin Shortage.
Shortage of small coins, complained
of by Minneapolis banks, may be due
! partly to the practice of saving buffa
lo nickels and the new dimes, bankers
believe.
Many persons have formed the habit
of putting away the buffalo coins or|
the new ten-cent pieces on the well- j
I estfl blished theory that the saver can '
accumulate considerable sums in this
way and yet do it so gradually that
"he never misses it."
Bankers said the penny famine prob
ably was due to recently Instilled thrift
among children. Pennies given them
by parents, coins that formerly went
back Into circulation as quickly as lit
i' U® feet could flutter to the corner
candy store, now find their way Into
the toy bank.-—Minneapolis Jçurnal.
Diaeasea 8pread by Insects.
Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the fed
eral bureau of entomology, declared
recently that no fewer than 226 dis
eases are spread directly or Indirectly
through the agency of insects, and
that 282 species of insects are guilty
of some form of the deadly work. This
bears out the scientific contention that
insects are the only dangerous rivals
of man for mastery of the earth. The
present has been called the age of
man and Insects j and the battle for
supremacy has not yet been fought to
a finish. Man Is increasing from cen
tury to century, but the Insects are,
too.
