Butler A strange malestrom of joy and wonderment swept ole Chi like a huge typhoon Monday, when her millions of people yelled and shouted themselves hoarse, a hearty welcome to the old Eighth (370th Infantry), which regiment returned fresh from the desolated lands of France, the first of the city's fighters to come back as a unit. The whole city rocked in a new emotion as these medal bedecked warriors, feared by the Huns as the "Black Devil" and cherished by the French as the "Patridges," the "Crackers of the Hindenburg Line," swung into her thoroughfares and captured the city amid a deafening applause. It was surely a day of wild rejoicing as mothers, fathers, sweethearts, brothers, sisters and friends surged their way in that sea of flesh to bid the boys a welcome. For months Chicago has waited anxiously for just such a day, and at last it had come. The regiment arrived at the La Salle street station shortly after 7 o'clock and greeted the city with a whoop—the kind that caused the blood to curdle in the Germans' veins. From the time of the debarking until the boys fell in line for the city's formal welcome at the Coliseum the ovation was constant and the loop resounded with noise—real noise, evidenced with feeling. In a few moments the downtown thoroughfare were choked with humans. Offices and stores closed for the day. Bells and whistles and every noise contrivance was brought into play. School objects were removed from the scene. Truth, the Eighth had claimed the joy-mad city. At the old Coliseum the spirit of the FEDERAL AGENTS ROUND UP CROOKS Unique Method of Making Money Is Exposed by Raid By Continental Press Quincy, Ill., Feb. 21.—A band of crooks operating throughout Illinois, Missouri and Pennsylvania have been rounded up by federal agents and placed behind the bars. By a technical method the men raised $1 bills to $20. James Robinson, alias James Barrett, and Elmer Jenkins, Boyd Willis, La Salle street, Chicago, and Grace Woods have been identified by Stephen Connell (white), chief of secret service, as the persons guilty of counterfeiting. A police officer, David Schwibhau's store, 5th and Cedar streets, betrayed the gang. Jenkins was the man who presented the bill in payment for an article. Method Was Simple The method of counterfeiting used by the gang was simple. Four corners of a $1 bill were clipped and the corners of a bogus $20 pasted in their place, making the bill, when folded, resemble a real $20 bill. An ordinary iron was used to pass the bill to tempt them to pass the bill at Schwab's failed when a clerk opened it to place it in the cash register. **Bills Sent Through Mails** It is reported that counterfeit bills have been detected in Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit, and representatives of the gang are thought to be stationed here. Robinson, Grace Woods and Boyd Wills were assigned to make the bills send them through the mails to others. They forced them to visit small towns and endeavor to pass the counterfeits. Jenkins gave the names of several men and women who have not been apprehended by the federal authorities. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 21.—The Missouri legislature dealt a terrific blow to Senator Van Mayes, a German, representing Penicot county, when the "Jim Crow" bill was killed by a vote in the committee. Von Mayes wept bitterly when the news was broken to him that his bill had been approved. Opponents and popularians wallowed Van Mayes as a patriotic for suggesting such a measure. Everybody who had a vote gave the bill a kick. CONGRESSMAN MASON PROBES CIVIL SERVICE DISCRIMINATION Washington, Feb. 21.—Congressman William E.

Otis Duncan an interview was arranged with Col. T. A. Roberts, who, after expressing great delight in receiving a representative of the Defender staff, directed his attention to the achievements of his command in battle. It will be recalled that Colonel T. A. Roberts was for many years commander of the famous Ninth Cavalry and is reputed to be a military official possessing rare and exceptional ability, and for that reason no doubt he was placed at the head of the Eighth Regiment. He said: "I am unable to find words to adequately express my feeling for the loyalty and courage this regiment showed; especially am I proud of the record the officers associated with me made. My success would not have been possible without their necessary co-operation, and, while it is difficult to single out any one member of my CHEER FIGH New York City, Feb. 21, 1919. Walled in by a mass of humanity—a conservative estimate places it at 2,000,000—the 15th Infantry, the pride of New York and one of the famous, if not the most famous, regiments that fought for democracy in France with the colors of Old Glory, paraded up Fifth avenue Monday in a blaze of glory. The men arrived from Camp Upton at 34th street ferry about 10 a.m., marching over to 23d street and Fifth avenue. The different battalions finally got in line around 11 a.m. and started up Fifth avenue, with every available bit of space along the line of march crowded with humanity—humanity of both races. Ever since the announcement was made on Thursday that, owing to the near demobilization of the regiment, they would parade on Monday, all New York, including, of course, Harlem, was agog with excitement, waiting for the day—the day when it could show our boys, the boys of the 15th, just what it thought of them and their deeds of heroism on the bloody battlefields of France. Leading the parade and the center of attraction was Lieut. James Reese Denver, Colo., Feb. 21.—For the murder of Harry McBride, a Pullman porter, at 2255 Lawrence street, Oct. 2, 1918.

There is no justification for the treatment meted out to the Colored soldiers in some of the camps," declared Senator Charles H. Dillon of South Dakota, in a speech before the house of representatives recently when making a report to congress on the condition and conduct of military affairs and officials having charge of camps for soldiers in the South. "Some of our bravest soldiers on the battlefields were Colored men. They were ever ready to march against the common enemy in an effort to overthrow him, and our nation owes to all these gallant soldiers an everlasting debt of gratitude," he continued. Complete Report Given The senator's complete report to the house is as follows: "I am herewith submitting a resume of the report covering those members of Companies A.

Of the remaining 167 about one-half reported that the persons to whom they had made allotments have received payments of from $5 to $30 during a period of time extending from four to one year, while the balance reported allotments due for one to four months. Frame Up Charges That this treatment of the Colored soldiers was not confined to this parish camp is evidenced by a statement made to me by a former officer who was stationed at Camp Johnston, Jacksonville, Fla., in command of a Continued On Page 20 TING 15TH SERGT.

ANTI-LYNCH BILL FOR MISSOURI Senator Kinney Introduces Measure to Stop Lawlessness St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 21.—There are many men in this state who are willing to stand up for the right of all the people and who will place themselves on record for the rights of all citizens at every opportunity, and one of these is Senator Michael Kinney (white) of this city. Last week Senator Kinney, one of the leaders in this state, introduced bill State Senate at Jefferson City designed to suppress mobs and mob violence in Missouri. It declares any assemblage of five or more persons for unlawful purposes to be a mob, and a fine of from $100 to $1,000 and jail from thirty days to twelve months. For serious damage to person and property members of mobs are subject to a fine of $5,000, with a maximum sentence of five years in the penitentiary for surrender prisoners to mobs or who can be taken away to be lynched are subject to immediate removal from office. Senator Kinney has long been known as the poor man's friend in St. Louis and has been honored as a candidate for Mayor of this city and Governor of the state. There is an excellent chance for his bill to become a law, both the moral conviction and the institutions of the state and political conditions being ripe for such a measure.

Police Expose Fake War Hero St. Louis Fleeced by Bogus War Idol; Blacksmith Made "Iron Cross." St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 21.—The St. Louis Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance had made possible the gathering of fully 7,000 people in the Coliseum here Monday night to pay homage to "Sergt. Henry Johnson" of the 15th New York regiment. Sergt. Johnson was a bogus hero, who later proved to be none other than plain Albert Parker, who in a streak of hard luck launched on a journey to fleece Missouri in good fashion. He was arraigned in court on October 26 Johnson and Crockett, who had been informed by Rev. George T. Martin of the Church of God that "Johnson" was a rank faker. Mayor Introduces "Hero" Mayor Kiel (white) was introduced shortly after the program began. He made a stirring address, praising "Sergt. Johnson" and his deeds of valor. "And now," concluded the mayor, "it becomes my great pleasure to introduce to you the principal speaker of the evening. Sergt. Johnson, the mayor, throws the troops up 'Hall, the Conquering Hero Comes,' and the 7,000 shouted, screamed and whistled for five minutes as "Sergt." Johnson came out on the stage, with the aid of crutches. He paused in the center, struck an attitude, expanded his chest another two inches and rattles his numerous heads, which last proved to have been made by blacksmiths in the South. "Demobilize" Johnson Again the crowd roared and the 'hero of heroes' raised his hand for silence. A hush fell upon the assemblage. Just as Johnson" started to speak, the Rev. George T. Martin walked to the footlights. "He shall be the king," he announced. "He is not the man, he faker." The crowd was dazed. "Do your duty, gentlemen," said the minister, addressing three uninvited guests who had seats on the stage. They were the city detectives. The once made for the center of the stage and deliberately AACA the crowd roared, but it was with laughter. The band played something sad as the detectives led Johnson down the aisle to an awaiting patrol wagon on the outside of the Collisum. The committee on arrangements and the mayor's party made a hasty getaway. The "Hero's" Medals The bogus hero admitted that his war medals, consisting of a Michigan pea, pasted on a bright colored ribbon, a rabbit's foot, a voodoog bag and a shamrock, were gathered in Mobile, a cross, hearing the head of President Winston Churchill in a blacksmith in that city. He laughed at how he had fleeced people in Cairo, IL, and throughout Alabama. His army suit proved to be a bellboy's uniform decorated with cheap ribbon. His uniform was purchased from a pawnbroker in Atlanta, Ga. His cap was that of a mail carrier. Ministers Blamed Scott.

The war was so dense in the welcome extended by the general Chicago public, and the time so limited that thousands of the relatives, friends and well-wishers of this famous regiment were unable to see them. Plans are on foot to bring the unit back intact before demobilization. They are expected the first part of next week.

When the "hero" arrived in th. city he was met at the train by a brass band and escorted through the streets by a committee. When asked to play the piano on his face, Johnson said it was the dirty work of a German who had slashed him with a gouge during a hand to hand fight. It was later proven that this scar came as the result of a crap game played in Atlanta, Ga. The proceeds of the entertainment, about which will be used for charitable purposes. The "hero" was to get $500 for his part in the program. He is 39 years old, had on his leg off just below the knee and is uneducated.

Say, Clara. Mr. W. would be a very handsome young man if it wasn't for his awfully bad hair, wouldn't he? Oh, he's all right now; he had his barber treat his hair with Palm Cream, and now he is simply a dream. Our Palm Cream will not only straighten hair, but will keep it straight. Water or change of estimate will not affect it. We have thousands and thousands of men today—men in all walks of life throughout this country, South America, the West Indies and various parts of Africa—using our goods. It is not always that a manufacturer can succeed with his goods in his own home town. He often has to seek fields far away. But not with us. We have succeeded in our home. If you know a barber in New York, write and ask him what he thinks of Palm Cream. Palm Oil is an accessory to Palm Cream, as it grows the hair and keeps it beautiful. If your hair is harsh and dry or brittle it needs Palm Oil. If it is sick, stubborn and will not grow it needs Palm Oil. Palm Oil is not that soft, greasy used by so many people for the hair. It is dry and neat; it will not grease your hat, but will give your hair that beautiful, silky, glossy effect so much desired by everyone. Big inducements offered to agents. Special rates to barbers.

PAGE EIGHT Williams Successful in Business The above picture is that of Toney G. Williams' fruit establishment located at the southeast corner of 153th street and Lenox avenue. Williams is enjoying a mark of distinction as this business is manifestly monopolized by Greeks and Italians. Toney, as he is known, has occupied this corner for four months. Being successful, it has been necessary for him to employ an assistant. He has been steward at the functional golf club of New York st. acre, a Missouri, Mo. and has a personality well befitting the character and motives of a well trained business man. He is 44 years old and will celebrate his twenty-fifth wedding anniversary next year. At the above named place one may find fruits and candies of every description, quick service and abundance of courtesy, as well as reasonable prices. A business enterprise such as this is worthy of the Race's patronage. "Louisville" Brings 351st Over Louisville Brings 351st Over The steamer Louisville docked at pier 621 Sunday morning, bringing 1,266 enlisted men and 46 officers of the 351st field artillery who trained at Camp Meade. According to officers and men, the sea was rough and started the boat to rocking—knocking over soups and coffee, and throwing men from their beds. When things were at their worst out went the lights. These men, who were highly praised by their officers, are from Pittsburgh, Baltimore and adjacent cities. The boys were met at the pier by the mayor's committee, members of the Red Cross, band and staff of headquarters of embarkation, Golden B. Darby of the Pittsburgh American, Walter Abbott and Oscar Benson of the Chicago Defender. Celebrate Hundredth Anniversary a tercentenary smoker was held at the Libya Tuesday eventing, Feb. 11.

Men representing art, science and many professions present. Covers were laid for fifty. Editor Darby Visit City Editor Darby Visits City Golden B. Darby, managing editor of the Pittsburg American, said to be one of the youngest in the business, was a visitor to our city last week. He came in the interest of his paper to meet the 351st field artillery, composed of Pittsburg boys, which arrived last Sunday. While here the editor was the guest of the New York office Defender staff and who oversaw the wonderful work being carried on here. He spoke most highly of the efficiency of the staff and the congenial courtesy that is extended to visitors. He left for Pittsburg Monday afternoon. Open for Business The W. C. C. S. booth that has stood idle at the corner of 135th street and Lenox avenue for the past month, actually opened for business last Saturday with three female members of the Raven in attendance.

BUY STOCKS NOW-TODAY-DON'T DELAY 538 LENOX AVENUE, NEW YORK CITY, AND 25 WEST 133RD STREET, NEW YORK CITY Kosy Korner Reception Tonight All roads lead to one tonight (Friday), and that is to Harlem Casino, at 16th street and Lenox avenue, the occasion being the private dinner and reception of the Kosy Korner Kafe employees. No stone has been left turned for the convenience and enjoyment of the many hundred people who are expected to attend. The high water mark for winter receptions was reached when the well known Buck Terry, financial expert of Monarch lodge No. 45 of Elks, was selected for floor manager. Terry was a tower of strength to the recent Monarch lodge reception when people had to be turned away from the door, so Kosy Korner is sure to be a success. Fred Laurio will be there with his beaming smile and that will be an attraction by itself. Last but not least is Rocky Alvalony, organizer of the Kosy Korner Kafe employees, who is said to have more friends than any other one man in Harlem. His work stands out as one of a thoroughbred organization man and he is to be complimented. In conclusion, we would say you have not done yourself justice if you don't spend tonight (Friday) in Harlem Casino with the Kosy Korner Kafe employees.

It is now flow tide. Opportunity raps at your door. Will you let it in? Miss Burroughs Speaks Here Miss Nannie II. Burroughs, the most thrilling woman speaker on the platform today, delivered a powerful and stirring address last Wednesday night at St. Mark's M. E. church in behalf of the Music School Settlement, taking for subject "Vision Splendid." Miss Burroughs in the course of her sketch urged the Race to support this organization. In part, she said: "You can beat race prejudice to a frazzle by starting something big. We have been asleep for fifty years and just prepared to be Negroes. But about 18 months ago we woke up and have been 100 per cent American over since. We need the courage to fight for ourselves, to do for ourselves." The school, which has been turned over entirely to our people, is conducting a series of affairs for the purpose of securing members and the interest of the public at large. Now is the time for every Race loving friend to maintain such a worthy enterprise as the Music School Settlement, since it is up to us to make it go. Notes of the Homecoming Sergt. Thompson, 212 W. 141st street, who is drum major of the 15th, says that his hand is ready for the big welcome.

The 371st and 372d, composed of boys from Boston and other eastern cities, have seen some of the heaviest fighting of the war, being brigaded with the French. Both regiments have been cited in French army orders and the regimental colors of each decorated just prior to embarkation at Brest. These regiments have received between them 38 distinguished service crosses, 168 Croz de Guerre and 2 Logon of Honors. They are a part of the 92d Division; 371st regiment, 104 officers and 2,665 men: 372d had 76 officers and 2,636 men. They were known as the "Red Hands." Many letters of congratulation coming from French generals were read to a reporter for the Defender by Private Russell Hatton and Sergt. George H. Jordan, with the 372d. "In battle," said the French general, "they have taken by storm very strong positions doggedly defended by the enemy. In contemplating the departure of these two regiments, which I commanded with pride, I desire to tell them all how much I think of them. I will always keep in my heart their loyal memories and particularly those who have gone before us. I will never forget the irresistible dash, the heroic push of Colored American regiments on the Crete Des Observations and the Plain of Mentholis." Newspaper men claim that the welcome which they received at the pier was unprecedented.

These boy! 如 All New York Honors Brave 15th Infantry Held Twenty Per Cent of All Ground Won by American Army m to Long City where they were SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1919 All Ne Held Twenty All Ground America By Charles T. Magill Recruited from the strenge, practically; drilled in a dance hall, given a brief stop at the Peekskill State Camp, sent to Camp Whitman, from there to Camp Upton, from there to Spartanburg, from there, so back to Camp Mills, where the Alabama troops objected to their presence, finally reaching the battlefield, and they covered themselves with glory. Such, if brief, is a sketch of the rather uncertain early life of the Fifteenth York National Guard. As long as ten thousand troops in New York were working on a Race regiment. There has been much discussion to whom goes the honor and credit for the troops in New York. Notwithstanding this opinion, to those men who established the old Equity Congress that met in "Thomas" chapel on West 134th street, who came to New York from Ohio, obsessed with the idea of getting a regiment here, to ex-Assemblyman Cuvillain the assembly, to William the governor, who signed the bill that made the regiment possible, and last, but not mean to ex-Governor Charles Whitman, who made the machinery to make the Fifteenth a real organization, goes the credit. Turned Down by Hughes First to Reach War Strength. Active recruiting for the regiment began June 29, 1916, and by April 8, 1917, the Fifteenth had reached its full peace strength, with 1,378 men, and by August 1917, with 1,383 men. Three weeks later, with an addition of 600 men, the regiment reached its war strength with the distinction of being the first National Guard regiment in the United States. The first battalion of four companies was recruited in Manhattan, the second battalion came from Brooklyn, while the third was made up of men from the Bronx. The regiment had an armory, using the Lafayette hall as an apology for an armory. Drilling and marching through the streets of Manhattan caused the major part of their military school to encampment was in Peekskill at the state camp there, and when they left after a two weeks' stay there, they were on their own to town, the townpeople, and the mayor of Peekskill made a public statement that no more orderly or better behaved regiment ever entered the town than the Shorty after Peekskill, the boys went. Whitman in Greenhaven, N. Y., for more intensive training. From there Old 15th Marchi Lieut. David Ferguson [Picture of a man in a military uniform]. Lieutenant David Leroy Ferguson, with the Y. M. C. A., formerly overseas, who placed a wreath on the grave of Theodore Roosevelt. the Brooklyn battalion was sent to do pioneer work in the transforming of the forest at Yankah in Camp Up. the third battalion guarded the bridge of the railroad while the first battalion was in the city. More actual war training was decided on for the regiment and it was orional study at Bartonburg, S. C., for additional study. A storm of protest to arise from the "democratic" citizens of Spartanburg. The Spartanburg Chamber of Commerce drafted resolutions protesting—the Fifteenth, who were calling in order that they might go to France and fight for democracy! "The most tragic consequences would follow the introduction of New York Negro with northern ideas in the country of Spartanburg," said our Southern friends. Early in October, however, the regiment did go to Camp Wadsworth, despite the southern kicking accorded the Fifteenth the restitution accorded the Fifteenth and despicable that the men soon left, coming this time to Camp Mills on Long Island. blow up, and by the time the Pocahontas—nameless at the time—reached the outer bay, the greatest blizzard of the year was raging. Clouds of snow, fire, and ice forced the Pocahontas to drop anchor. She had hardly done so when a huge hulk, appearing suddenly through the murk, bore down upon the transport's bow and cut a ten-foot hole in her side. A new one arose below decks, where 3,000 odd exasperated men were maintaining their belief that no such place as France existed. The captain of the transport was for turning back again and the water line, he admitted, and there was no great danger impending as a result of the collision, he said. Nevertheless, there would be an inquiry, and it was necessary that he he present to the captain the water line, for turning back except that of fear," said Col. Hinyard to the captain. The captain did not turn back. There was an ambulance assembly unit on board and the captain said, would suffice to make sulphur repairs to enable the vessel to proceed. The bent plates were drilled out and double planking created in their place. Concrete was then poured below the water line, elegant, but the slip was wate-tight, and best of all still bound for France. Land in France Dec. 27 On Dec. 27, the Pocahontas landed at Brest, and from there the regiment was transferred to St. Nazaire, where the troops were put to work constructing a dam. The regiment's work was not congenial to the men, and after many requests to get on the firing line, the Third battalion was ordered to guard a German prison camp. About mid-February, the entire regiment was brigaded with the French at Glivry-en-Argonne and known as the 369th regiment, with the French, and with the French, they were sent to take their place in the trenches, meanwhile becoming quite conversant with the French language. Their first taste at Bois d'Hauze, Champagne, where they held a sector constituting 20 percent of all the ground held there by the American army when they were nutritionally less than on per cent of that army. Under Fire 191 Days From then on it was just light, fight, fight, for our boys. Never finching, reckless in their bravery, loyal unto death, the noble Fifteenth soon had to die. The soldiers took them. Two of their men, Henry Johnson, Needham Roberts, were the first American troops of any race to receive the Croix de Guerre. It was the night of May 5, 1918, that the famous deed was made. Two men held off two platoons of German tanks several, and capturing many more. Speaking of the Croix de Guerre, that coveted decoration was as common as roses in summer when the regiment in these shoes last week, muto evidence of their bravery and gallantry. Cited Seven Times Following is the official French citation: "Under the command of Col. Hayward, who, though injured, insisted on leading his regiment into battle; of men who, in the battle, and brave; of Major Cobb (killed), of Major Spencer (grievously wounded), of Major Little, a little leader of men, the 369th R.

On Sept. 26, at Champagne, forever a memorable date in the history of the Fifteenth, the loss in killed and wounded of 1,000 men. Of the original number to go over, it is thought that less than half have returned. All honor to those men who in the main, left their jobs to the boys, elevator men, etc., to become the world's greatest heroes at this time. Recommended in the Field Three hundred and sixty-ninth U.

Before the best known announcer in the country, induced Grover A. Whalen, secretary to the Mayor and in charge of the reception of the soldiers. Mr. Whalen told them of them, and on behalf of the city, them for their deeds of valor. He then introduced Col. Hayward, who said that he spoke for the entire regiment when he thanked the citizens of the city for their deeds of valor. He told him and his boys. Pollock, speaking to a Defender reporter, praised highly the work of our fighters in the help they had given the boxers' league to the city. The boxers lock bitterly condemned some of the white boxers who had promised to be at the armory, but who failed to appear. Among the referees were Lee Johnson and Joe Jenette. A fine boy left about 7 p. m. for Camp Upton, where they were demobilized. In the armory the police band, under the leadership of Patrolman William D. Bennett, were frequently said during the parade that very few of the old faces were noted in the line of march last Monday.

Copies of the Defender were distributed to all the incoming Race troops during the week.

It is a wonderfully strong play and one which gives the players full opportunity to play their wares, and to their credit be it said that their presently used piece is used nearly as could be desired. The writer has never missed a chance to see this remarkable drama. For the past ten years almost every stock and road show has attempted it. It has also been exploited through the medium of the Tony Langston Tony Langston films, and it has drawn so well and been so universally admired that it is always a welcome offering. It has a story that for strength is unexcelled. It concerns the redemption of a woman who has gone, to all appearances, to the end of her life, of a man who, despite all obstacles, wins over his own baso passions and in the end, with the woman, exemplifies the adage that "it is never too late to mind." Blind to every moral instinct and fighting against every call of understanding, the woman runs the gamut of joys and sorrows, and before the end is landed high and dry upon the very rocks of despair, through the bitter struggle brought to the very brink of disgraceful despair and onto the very verge of damnation, the same fate that led to it all steps in and makes for the happiness of those concerned. There is no room for detail, and it would be an injustice to both the patrons and the members of the company to expose further. Suffice to say that it is an artistic treat and a play that can be appreciated by all those who love and really understand dramas of class. Sidney Kirkpatrick and Abbie Mitchell as John Storm and Glory Quayle, the woman, have a world of opportunities; the former has a part for the display of the fine ability for which he is so well known. In many spots he rises so high in the light so in a manner which above criticism. Miss Mitchell has chances also to display her emotional qualities and does not disappoint. In the scene where she is driven from the parsonage her work was of such a caliber as to elicit thunderous applause, and later, when she comes back, and again the priesthood, she carries her audience along in a manner that is surprising. A. B. De Comathierre as Lord Robert, a Jibertine, also takes full ad- NATIONAL EXHIBITION "THE FIG ROOS AN ALLEGORICAL PRO WORLD'S GREAT A. TWO DAYS, SUNDAY AND 2 P. M. TO THIRTY- FIRST BLOCK VEND "BIGGEST AVENUE 31st STREET AND Week Starting Mon vantage of his many chances, as does also Rabe Townsend as Drake, the scion of an aristocratic family, and J. J. Coleman as a boss gambler. Laura Bowman has a part which carries what little comedy there is in the piece. It is a character calling for an English dialect, and Miss Bowman's long stay in England apparently fitted her well for the type. J. France Mores also does well as Father Lamplutch, and Alice Gorgas does the same as Betty, pretty and unfortunate. Susie Sutton, Thomas Mosely, Julian Keith, Will Cooke and Zephyrine Walton in minor parts show ability. It is a play well worth seeing. Next week "Today," a real sensation, will be played. THE GRAND "The Lady Barber Shop" is the name of one of the funniest musical skits yet offered here by the Bob Russell Co. and blids fair to be one of the most popular. It was a real hit at the initial performance, with stronger with each presentation. The scene is laid out in typical manner and the doings of the female torsional experts is typical likewise. These are Annie Freeman, Mae Wilson, Bertha Thompson, and the castier, John Hancock Thompson as the castier, John Hancock son as the female porter and Bob Russell himself as the proplector. The rest of the capable company show up as the customers, and the results can well be imagined, but must be seen to be achieved. There are several good song numbers among them being "Feeding the Kitty," by Bob Russell & Co.; "All Gone Now," by Annie Freeman; "Anybody's Man," by John H. Mason, and two flashy ensembles. Other acts are Cartello, a novelty; the Richards sisters, and Mons, Herbert, a fine musical single. The last half last week had the Shattucks, club jugglers: Cook & Roth-ing, the Goldie, Jack Goldie, the Nutt, and the Russell Co. continuing their Mexican drama. THE MONOGRAM The Davis & Bailey Stock Co. is on its second big week, and their offering, "The Colored Politician," went over in fine shape to good audiences on Monday night. It is a musical comedy that is far above the average, and part of the two principals, Davis and Laura Bailey, who have played a great Stroll favorite, stands out. Despite this fact, every member of the company has a chance and takes proper care of it. The play tells the story of a local politician who curries favor by his hypocritical stand for prohibition; it is full of possibilities and is sure to be the patronage of this popular house. This company seen here this season and will no doubt be played back in the near future. MOTORS PRESENTS FIGHTING DEVELTS" DUCTION SHOWING THE HATEST CITIZEN From Childhood Until His Final Days!

AND BEST" THEATRE "UNHAPPILY WED" "UNHAPPILY WED" A Brooklyn woman, the other day in a Detroit hotel, took the lives of two of her children and then sought to kill herself. Freed from the bonds of her first marriage, it was said that she had looked forward to marrying again, but the man of her choice was reported to have deserted her and married another woman. Experience is not always a good teacher. Incompatibility of temper is the chief cause of unhappy married life, according to divorce records. Violation of the marriage vow and neglect follow a close second. Other reasons which have appeared in cases of records include: Islands arising over the raising of children. Inability to satisfy the craving for luxuries. Suspicion. A Supreme Court justice in New York recently started a galaxy of well-known lawyers appearing in a divorce case of millions, helping the hearing and delivering a tinge against hasty marriage. He said: "If young people who contemplate matrimony could be endowed with power to look into the future and contemplate the step which they are about to take—whether it is the right thing to do—what a great deal of misery and unhappiness could be avoided." This is exactly what happens in "Why I Would Not Marry," the William Fox morality play, which will be shown at the States and other theaters in the near future. HOLY CITY Not only does the barbarian siren, Salome, live and breathe again in the person of Theda Bara, the greatest actress of vampire roles in the modern world, but she moves among the very same people she adorned and desecrated age ago. The entire setting for Salome's dark career is rescued from the dead past and restored for the inspiration and instruction of the twentieth century. Impressive beyond compare are the last pageants and ensembles of popular entertainers, the Judgment Hall of Hered, brilliant with the pump and ceremony of a proud and powerful monarch, fills the eye with wonder and the soul with awe. Thousands of men, women and children, costumed in the picturesque styles of Palestine two thousand years ago, enact the stirring scenes surrounding the historic advent of John the Baptist and the triumphal progress of the courtytemptess whose wounds and suffering caused his death. Every scene a throng of color and realism. Throngs of daily dressed people, marching soldiers, richly caparisoned Roman chariots, elephants, donkeys, camels and a hundred other oriental features make the spectator fancy that the beautiful pictures of the great Biblical commentaries have sprung into life and action. The grandeur that was Jerusalem and the glory that was Rome, both are blended in the majestic scenes of the city of Rome to the theater for a long run in the near future. Also the lavish extravagance and the whited sepulchre of richness that meant decay. The sensational banquet scene in Herod's palace, with its mad orgy of revelry, will long live in the mind as a supreme picturization of the city. Then the Dance of the Seven Vells, the horrid catastrophe and Herod cringing under the finger of fate that points to his fall.

But inherited artistic talent is the strongest urge in the human make-up of a famous actor and stage manager and becoming infatuated with the stage, obtained permission to join his uncle's company. His rise was phenomenal and for six years he appeared as supporter to the famous Japanese acclaimed Madam Yuyao Kim mind was always grasping out for the big and the unknown things, however. He had seen some touring companies playing Shakespeare in English and his ambition was to play the master in his own language. With this in mind he entered the University of Chicago, where he mastered English in a remarkably short time of time and devoted all of his spare time to translating "Othello," "Richard the Third" and other of the great works into Japanese. His success in the silent drama has, if anything, helped him stage, for his command of facial expression is astounding in its subtlety and never fails to register. No film drama in which he has ever appeared has given him greater opportunities for his mimic talents than "Bonds of Honor." LULU COATES & CO Syracuse, N. Y., Feb. 21—Luhla Coates & Crackerjacks, formerly one of the most popular vaudeville acts, was the featured attraction here the first half of the week, with the Wonder Show, which played a record breaking engagement, doing a turnaway at every performance. The fea- ture has lost most of its popularity with the handful of audiences influenced by the manner in which the clever lady and her three boys came on to a glowing reception and stopped proceedings with their splendid work. The show moved to the Lammberg theater, Utica, for the final half. Next week, Montreal, Que. Gay theater. INVINCIBLE COMPANY Fine reports are coming in constantly regarding the fine success which the Invincible Concert Co. is having in their southern tour. They are in Mississippi, having played Vicksburg, Jackson, Indianola, Greenville and Yazoo City, to capacity houses. This is the company's third season in this section, and they have been gaining success. Popular demand forced a Saskatchewan matinee in Indianola. The tour is under the supervision of James H. Johnson and Edward L. Markey, the Two Blind Wonders. WILBER SWEATMAN Wilber Sweatman, the king of charac- netists and one of the real headline attractions in vaudeville, was a caller at the Old Roll Top Desk on Saturday of the past week. He was on his way to Kansas City, Mo., to visit the bed- side of his mother, who is reported very ill at that place. Sweat was compelled to cancel a lot of real time in the cast to make the trip. He was due to arrive at his destination on Sunday. MORE STAGE ON NEXT PAGE "TODAY" In writing "Today," which comes to the Avenue theater for next week, Mr. George Broadhurst, the author of some of the books he wrote for the american stage, has taken for his theme "Domestic Relations," which has heretofore been left to lawyers and judges to discuss behind closed doors and to hand down in sealed decisions. In his story we find a young man and his wife living to all appearances happiness, until one day he tells her that she is ill and she takes her wife will have to give up his handsome home and live in a flat fitting what he might be able to earn. The wife consents, but as time goes on, she meets her old friends of the upper class and finding that she cannot keep up with them, she begins to lead a life of deception by running up bills for fine clothes, etc, and telling her husband that all her fineries are bargains. One day the bills come in and she must face the truth and tell her husband that she was not bargaining but were not bargains—but credit. In despair she goes to consult a friend, a woman who lives by her wits, and who keeps an apartment where certain rich men may meet women. This particular friend tells the wife that she has the things that she needs, it is easy for her to get them, especially when that woman is attractive. To go further into this wonderful play of vital facts would be robbing the public of a chance to learn for themselves what to husbands, whether not the wife tells the husband the truth, or accepts the advice given by her "friend." It can be said without reserve that "Today" is one of the strongest plays yet offered by this company, and even if they will give a part to play in which they will steal and again prove that they are artists—every one of them. Bob Sands, recently from Arizona—Wheststone is the town—came to New York recently to take a job that is unique—the taming of a young high-highman—Larry Harrington, son of the well-known lawyer Lorraine has got into some sort of tangle over letters written to a pretty waltress, but Bob found she was all to the good and that the young waster had not a chance with her. She apparently fell in love with her himself and was as hopeless as a tenderfoot when she looked at him. So he shifted his allegiance to the lady's side and Harrington Sr. hired a detective to get the "papers." He got them, but Bob forced on a borrowed book. The book was some chase, they say—as wild as that of Tom O'Shanter with the witches. And now Bob and the Lady Mary are going back, back, back to Westchester—to grind out their future beneath the stars of the big south-west. The whole story may be found at the Pickford theater on Sunday of this week, where Wm. S. Hart's latest Art- picture Wm. Bradling. Broadway, will be held. And its best idea in films that has happened, along in some time—also, it is decidedly different from the Hart pictures we have seen in the past. Full of comedy, ex- tents, and limus teerus it is real entertainment for the million. Don't miss it. DRESSING UP On Thursday of last week comes a box with a couple of the finest ties that ever went around a man's thorax, sent all the way from Olean, N. Y., by Montgomery & McClain, whose act, "Breezes from Broadway," has been hitting them hard for many days. A letter states that the team has a breezes around the Old Roll Top Desk Man's line, which, being a fact, will naturally keep Frank and Florence busy for the rest of their lives. "THE FIGHTING ROOSEVELTS" Theodore Roosevelt established many remarkable precedents in his two score years of public life. It counted for naught that a thing that he contemplated had never been done before. That means factors for consideration were the mere measure of and its common influence for public betterment and the common will. Even as the angel of death hovered over him, unseen and unexpected for many years, the voice of postery called to him from out the realms of it. It echoed the only greatest of the arts. It echoed the only greatest of the art fellow American. It spoke in the language of infinitude and Theodore Roosevelt answered. And be it noted to his lasting credit, there was neither vanity nor ego or desire for personal attainment in the reply he gave to a diplol recorder there are none to give to world an authentic transcript of his words, but he might well have said: "I have done only want any American can do. I have worked for my country and compatriots. That has been a duty, an honor and a privilege I need to visualize the performance of that great obligation—service to country—and you justly feel that it will possess, in but the slightest degree, an inspiration or incentive, or that it will exemplify the international thought that America is a country wherein opportunists can conquer, and then gladly contribute to the motion, return any part or all of me, which heaver is best suited to the purpose you voice." Thus was born "The Fighting Roosevelt life and works of Col. Thelore Boone AN ARTCRAFT SPECIAL! Thomas H. Ince presents WILLIAM S. HART in Branding Brace angston velt, which comes to the Vendome theater next Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 23 and 24. Never before has the screen been made the page for a wordless story of the life of a man who rose to the heights attained by Theodore Roosevelt. Never before has the motion picture camera focused its glistening lens to view for present and future generations of America, the life and works of a man whose career is so prolific in arch types of ambition, courage, indomitable will, inspiration and incentive. Will Brown and E. Hunter have dissolved, and the latter has gone East. Brown and Miss Evan Robinson have formed a team and are playing the Booker Washington theater, St. Louis, Mo., this week.

D A. B. MISS INEZ SMITH, Portraying the Evil "Ethol," Whose "Close-ups" Will Long Be Remembered --- 1.52. OBCAR MICHEAUX'S FAMOUS STORY MAKES GREAT PICTURE There is a saying, and perhaps, very true, that the "road to hades is paved with the best intentions in the world." So in saying that the public has assisted a demonstration on the part of the New York art museum it is well to explain that that demonstration awaited is a creditable, dignified achievement—and in Oscar Micheaux's "The Homesteader" this has at last come. Among our reasons for this statement is this: this work. "The Homesteader" is first a story. Admitted to the screen from the author's novel of the same name, which it took six years to write, it is obvious this should be a play worth the watching. Additionally, it took nine months to build the stage, time takes money, another reason the Race has failed to receive the carefully detailed play they have craved. The producer of "The Homesteader" well knew all this; he was aware of the shortcomings of previous efforts, so before commencing the production it is well for those who are going to see him to understand that lack of capital has no need of blindance in the production, for a reason that those with whom the producer is associated have stood ready at all times with unlimited means. THE STORY "The Homesteader" involves six principal characters, the leading one being Jean Baptiste, the Homesteader, far off in the Dakotas, living where he alone was black. In him we have the courage of a length, courage and conviction. On the occasion came in time Jack Stewart, a Senior with his motherless daughter Agnes. In Agnes, Baptiste meets the girl of his dreams, only to make a discovery in the same instance upon which the story is its first cilimax. It is clear that know that she was not white. Peculiar to the viewer in the company of the Homesteader, their love, forbidden by the custom of the country, is the most appealing and idealistic ever created. Of how Baptiste sacrificed the love of this girl of his dreams, went back to his own people, bringing the daughter of a preacher, and the instances that came of it, marks the epoch in the development of the story. In the case of N. Justine McCarthy the author has done a work that is typical of our life today, and the whole in any way acquainted with the present vice minister must appreciate it—narrow, in any manner. McCarthy is the embodied servant deceit and hypocrisy. He really admired the marriage his daughter had made—was proud of it. He spoke of the "rich" young man she had married, enolized him to the highest—but, Baptiste did not understand that McCarthy to be satisfied, was in the habit of his people praise him. This Baptiste grew in the first to do; in the second, he was in the paramerals to do. Act, and upon this failure grew the tragedy of a marriage and the happiness of McCarthy's OSCAR MICHEAUX Author of THE HOMESTEADER 8th Regiment Armory First Time Anywhere Oscar Micheaux's Mammoth Photo-Play "THE HOMESTEADER" An All Star Negro Cast ADDITIONAL ATTRACTIONS TO AUGMENT THE OCCASION Motion pictures of the return of the "victorious" Eighth, the "Black Devils" who sent the Kaiser into oblivion. Note.—The day was dark and dreary and snow was falling the day this Great Regiment returned. To secure clear, bright and recognizable Motion Pictures requires sunlight. The pictures you may have seen, and which daughter, Orlean, a sweet girl, kind and good, but, like her mother, without the strength of her convictions. Of how then Baptiste was sacrificed to the altar of McCarthy's hatred and valyery of how Orlean failed him at the investments; of how Ethel her sister, like her possessed with all the evil a woman of, of forces her weak-kneed husband, Glavis, to assist her and her father in their persecution of Baptiste; and then, of how in the end Orlean, made insane by the evil she had been the innocent cause of, wrights a wrong, bringing Baptiste back to his land. He brought the girl he has discovered the truth about after the story has a beautiful ending after a life of storm and misery. Chas. D. Lucas as Baptiste has played his part with a completeness that will bring great admiration. Mise Inez Hall as Agnes and Chas. S. Moore as her father have portrayed their lives as virile women. Orlean is strikingly sympathetic, while Mise Inez Smith as Ethel could not have improved. Vernon S. Duncan as McCarthy does very well, but had he been possessed with the fine art as completely as the rest he would have made a name for himself that might have meant fortunes to him as a charismatic Prey goods as Ethel's husband. Glavin does well, white Wm. George as Agnes' white lover and "Bill" Frescott is perfect. MOTHER DIES Will H. Smith, well known among theatrical people, has been called to home in Detroit, Mich., on account of his death with the age of 90 and had been ill for many months. The deceased had been a resident of Detroit for fifty years, most of friends and many relatives to most of them. The funeral took place on Tuesday. CLASSY CALLERS Two of the most popular actresses in the business made the Old Roll Top Desk last Saturday after the matinee. They were Miss Alice Gorgas and Miss Susie Sutton, of the Laudette Players. Both young ladies looked as if they had just stepped out of the prophylaxis of the band up like a section of busy Broadway. There is no doubt but what this pair of beauties is largely responsible for the fine success which this company is enjoying. They are talented to a high degree and their modesty adds to their general attractiveness. MRS. E. SMITH-JONES Mrs. E. Smith Jones, sister of Gussei Smith and Bert Smith, formerly stage manager for the Holiday in Dixieland company, died of the flu after a short illness. Jan. 28, just a little over a month of the same aliment. She leaves many friends and relatives to mourn her loss. The end came and interment took place in New York City. A NOTE OR TWO A powerful drama of the great American Northwest, adapted to the screen by the author from his popular new novel of the same name, featuring A photo-play lasting almost three hours, from the novel which took Oscar Micheaux more than six years to write and nine months to adapt to the screen, destined to mark a new epoch in the achievements of the Darker Races.

JOHNSON --- SALARY BOOST STIRS SEMI-PRO MAGNETS Players Cry for Higher Pay This Season The increased attendance at the various semi-pro games at New York, Chicago, Cleveland and other large cities where semi-pro ball is played regularly among our people has caused the best players to make a demand for increased wages, according to reports received at this office. Even though the season was short last year, the attendance was exceptionally large and the players had a bigger portion of the season's income. One of the members of the American Giants who desired his name withheld, said: "It is time now that the management do something for the players in the way of raising their salaries. Semi-pro ball will be a big success this season and we will do HILLDALE TEAM GETTING BUSY Darby, Pa., Feb. 21.—The Hilldale management is making preparatory steps toward the opening of the 1919 season. As always before, an effort will be made to show the public an improvement over the previous year.

The bulk of last season's team will pulled off many a red-hot battle will again be seen at Hilldale Park, Ninth and Cedar streets, Darby, along with some new material that has been dug up during the off season.

"Chick" Meade, a candidate for third base, who hails from Buffalo, N. Y., will make his bow to the local fans. Elliu Roberts, an outfielder from Atlanta, Ga., is an avid sports aficionado. Contacts are coming in all the time and the line-up for the coming season will soon be announced. No More Getting Up Nights!

East for Higher Pay Another player from the East writes that the Lincoln Gliants will in all probability increase their players' salary. Since the big league players are the highest payer it is said that the Lincoln Gliants have lined up for higher pay before the players make a demand or strike. While nothing definite has been heard from C. I. Taylor, it is reported that the players, from the "Hoosier" state want more money this season.

The signs of the times indicate that players among the semi-pro teams all over the country will be playing a possible strike threats the baseball situation unless semi-pro magnates get their heads together. The fact is that baseball players are not well paid in proportion to the service they render their "magnates." "Some salaries are pitiful and this condition will not exist this season," said an American Giant player, the player. Another player said: "If there is to be any league, the first thing we will demand is a higher salary than last year." TRIBUNE EDITOR TO SPEAK AT "Y" Eaceball players of the Y. M. C. A.

In my ten years of experience as manager of the Hilldale Club I have seen many players come and go and have witnessed great plays and great games too numerous to mention. Hilldale carries such reputable players as Santop, Webster, Pettus, Downs, Lundy, Tom Williams, Cockerell, Spottweed Poles, better Hilldale carries such reputable players as Santop, Webster, Pettus, Downs, Lundy, Tom Williams, Cockerell, and Spotwood Poles, better known in the East as the black "Ty Cobb"; Reese and Johnson; and every season Philadelphia fans get a chance to see Hilldale battle with Fosters, American Giants, the Philadelphia Athletics of the American League and the Boston Red Sox. To my mind the greatest play I ever saw was made through the headwork of Pettus, Santop and Downs. On Oct 5, 1917, we singed the first of a three-game series between the Philadelphia Athletics of the Miami Giants, Hilldale, Smoky Joe Williams and "Bullet" Joe Bush were the opposing pitchers, with Santop and Schang on the receiving ends. Amos Strunk, Burns, Young, Selbold, Meyer, Magee, and Grover were in the Athletic line-up, and twelve thousand fans pushed into Hilldale Park to see what the Colored boys could do to the stars from league to league. Hilldale started right after Bush in the first inning. Poles was hit by a pitched ball, sacrificed by Downs, and scored on Santop's two-bagger. By the end of the fourth inning, through the terrific hitting of Poles, Downs, Pettus, Santop and Lundy, Hilldale had garnered six runs. Williams was in one form and let the Athletics down in one-two-three order, shutting them out the first four innings. The Athletics made one run in the fifth and sixth in the seventh innings. In the eighth inning Strunk and Meyer singled. Burns nearly of Detroit, also singed, filling the bases. With nobody out the fans settled down to see the Athletics stage a rally and come from behind. Shang hit a crashing line drive to center and the feet-footed Poles charged in, caught the ball, holding Strunk at third base. Pettus then walked first base, followed closely by Burns, apparently with the ball in takeoff much more as he does", as every Athletic base runner was playing for waits. Burns was greeted and started on a quick run to first base. Burns at a glance saw the ball to get back, but Downs was too quick and timely, and Suntop's throw was perfect and low, causing Downs to catch Burns, after which he staggered to his feet, holding Strunk on third base. The next batter fled out to Poles. The ninth inning Williams retired the Athletics in order. Hilldale could not score after the fourth inning, but won the game, score 6 to 2. I think this was a great play in that it stopped a rally and took the steam out of the Athletics. Alpha Big Five Bow to Red and Black Machine By William White Marshmallow, Pasino, B. 21—On Lincoln's birthday, the Alphabite Blue and White lost their second game of the season's series to the Red and Black Machine, score 40-12. Quite unlikelost season, Alpha could not repeat. Perhaps the absence of the great Glmore, who at present is playing with the Loondell team of Pittsburg, has been the downfall of Alpha this season, as Glmore was a tower of strength to the team. He was the game of last season that will linger long in the memory of basket ball fans, when St. C. was beaten by an eyelash. A large and enthusiastic crowd was on hand to greet the boys and the cheering squads were out in full force, with the usual line of club yells, etc. Sprinkled here and there were the old Eighth Illinois regiment, who came in from Camp Upton to witness the contest. Capt. Smith Throws Out Ball Referee Slicch called the respective captains to the middle of the court for instructions and the game was on. Smith Co. C. Smith Industry threw out the first ball from a secluded box and was given a big ovation as it bounced to the middle of the court. At center Parker of the Machine outreached Gaynor of Alpha, George Final, taking the tap off and was bent on making a clean basket when the referee called a foul on Alpha, which re- WRESTLING PROMOTER OUT OF CITY Mr. Leitchenstein, promoter of the wrestling matches at the Pelin theater, said that he would not put out a match that he went East to secure some good boxing talent. It is said that within a week or so there will be some more wrestling matches pulled off at the same theater.

Seven straight fouls were called on Alpha in succession, and it appeared as if St. C. would win the game on fouls alone as Fial's eye was as keen as a needle. The first half ended, 16-10, favor of St. Christopher. Slaughter in Second Half Different from the first half, the Machine swept Alpha from the floor, Fat Jenkins, Flat and others making baskets at will. Their teamwork excelled from every point of view, a feature very much lacking among the Alpha quintet. However, the game was clean and fairly played, the better team won. Alison Gaynor and Fat Jenkins in Rhone, Gaynor and Fat Jenkins in the whole team, and better things are expected* of them before the season closes, as they have engaged a new coach, who is said to be a wonder. The writer noticed that, he was on the job all the while and kept them fighting the way, even in the face of defeat. CHICAGO A. B. C'S MEET FRIDAY The Armour Cats, or the A. B.

LOOK!! LISTEN!!! The Greatest Gathering of Colored Working Men Ever Assembled in American Railway History Met in During the Past Week. Negro Railway Employes from thirty-three States, Representing Machinists, Pullman Porters, Locomotive Firemen, Switchmen, Trainmen, Dining Car Waiters, Baggage Handlers, Cooks, Blacksmiths, Shopmen and Maintenance of Way Employes, gathered in common conference. Men of each craft met in a committee of that craft and, deliberating for three days, devised the National policy to pursue in the interest of men working in the respective trades. As a result, this International Body will take the following action: 1. Certain agreements sought by the men will be submitted to the different roads, and to the UNITED STATES RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION by our International President, WHO IS NOW IN WASHINGTON FOR THAT SOLE PURPOSE. 2. He will ask that the number of colored men employed in Railroad service the day the Armistice was signed (Nov. 11, 1919) be not decreased. 3. He will ask that as a result of certain colored men being rated as trainmen by Supplement No. 12, to General Order No. 27, the rights there conferred shall in no way be infringed upon by white men in train service in regards to seniority or the right of replacement in case of vacancies.

Another man that deserves our support candidate for Municipal Court Judge, and the only one possessing the essential elements so needed by those in office is to the office recently made vacant by the election of Judge Charles N.

An examination into that record will show why De Priest has never attempted to give his record in the Council. During his two years nineteen years are given to the State and ward.

In doing this De Priest sacrificed his Race in office for his own personal gain and selfish interest. Anderson Record vs. De Priest Record "Although De Priest secured no offices for the Race out of the nineteen to the ward while two years in the council, during my two years, with all of my offices, I have secured twenty-one places for the ward and seventeen of the positions for my Race, as against none for De Priest while in office. The places which I secured in many instances had never before been held by members of my Race, such as the place in pieceswoman, assistant playground instructor, in a white industrial school, besides numerous temporary appointments in various branches of the public service. Since Alderman Jackson's election, together we have obtained thirty-five places for the Race as against none of the places in pieceswoman or to our official records, this ought to be conclusive as to which record is for or against the Race. De Priest Out of Office "When you tell a De Priest follower of these two official records, he answers, 'See what De Priest has done since he has been out of office.' They admit that De Priest did nothing for him in a office by retraining to tell what he did. He did nothing in office De Priest not fall to have it published. For since he has been out of office he has not only published what he has done and magnified it many times, but he has claimed also has done. For example, anybody else has done. For examiners credit for the six places in the recorder's office, which were secured by Attorney A. L. Williams long before De Priest allied himself with the Deneen faction. But suppose that it were true he did done many of the things which he and another had recorded, then he has done more out of office than in. The most ordinary sense, therefore, would dictate that it is better for the Race to keep him out of office, where his published record should be least tried to do something for his Race when he never thought of while he was aderman, as shown by his record. Mr. Leibrandt Back President Leibrandt of the Lincoln State Bank has returned from a visit to French Lick, Ind., where he took the youth producing dips and the pep producing water with the most remarkable results.

This proves that the door to the world of music is not barred unless you are so talented and ability.

Roberts the military escort conducted me to the compartment of Lieut. Col. Duncan, who was in excellent humor and spoke freely but with modesty of the service rendered by his regiment. While he appeared to be in the best of health, his face bore marks of the stress and strain occasioned by the stress and struggle through the he had gone, through which the leutenant colonel was Major James R. White. Lieut. Warfield, Lieut. Benote Lee, Capt. John A. Patton, Capt. Matthias Jackson, Lieut. Osceola Browning and others. Information gleaned during our trip from Cleveland to Chicago was to the effect that the regiment arrived at Brest on April 22, 1918, and spent two months tutition built by Emperor Napoleon, and from there entrained for camp where they were destined to receive their first European training. They traversed the French coast and journey lasting three days, arriving at Grandbillards, a little village situated about three miles from the Swiss border and fifteen minutes side from the French coast, with the mouss by Bardholt, the creator of America's Statue of Liberty, in his production of the masterpiece. The regiment went through intensive training by French officers, seasoned by four conflicts. They thus underwent a change from city spoil to accommodation with all the modern implements and methods of warfare. It was also during this period that the regiment was chosen from an American regiment and a French one, and accepted salary and color of uniform. French rifles, French machine guns and French gas masks formed part of the regiment, which was destined to do its part in the great battles which were to come. At the end of this period of training the regiment was marched to a nearby French village where it entrained the position, seized the fortress, the poisoned Lips of Barry, and the department of the Meuse and went into billets in three of the beautiful huts which surrounded the inn. The regiment was declared by the generals under whom they had trained to be fit for active service, they were soon placed in a room at the Meuse, where the Mihiel district, where our boys received the experience of facing a real live German and real front trench. Frenchmen were placed in the Mihiel French had seen it to place them in a quiet sector, therefore, happily there were no casualties during their first encounter. The conclusion of time they Were taken out and marched approximately twenty-five miles to rest billets, for days, after they entrained for the annual Vestal rally living at Les Isletes, where the battalions were distributed—1st to Barry. From these three places parish regiment were sent into line July 19 on the plateau of Georgia, Hermont and Mont den Alleeux. On July 24 they received their first casualty in action the Robert B.

U. S., read as follows: GENERAL ORDERS NO. 4785 Officers and Soldiers of the 370th R. L. U. S. You are leaving us. The impossibility can recover from its defeat—the necessity which is imposed on the peoples of the entente of taking up again a state to diminish its effectiveness in France, are chosen to be among the first to return to Amerien. In the name of your comrades of the 59th Division I say "in the name of France, thank you." The hard and brilliant battles of Chavigny, Leury, and the Bois de Beaumont having reduced the effect of the enemy's armament generously put your regiment at the disposition of the French high command in order to reinforce us. You arrived from the trenches of the Argonne. We at first, in September, at Marseul-Sur-Quercu, admired your fine appearance under arms, the precision of your review, the suppleness of your mind, that presented to the eye the appearance of silk unrolling its wavy folds. We advanced to the line. Fate placed you on the banks of the Alette, in the valley occupied the enemy trenches Aster and Brouze. On the 13th we reached the railroad of Laon-La-Fere—the forest of Saint Gobain, principal center of resistance of the Hindenburg line, was ours. Nov. 5 the Serre was at last crossed—the pursuit became active. Prout's Battalion distinguished itself at the Sal St. Pierre, where it captured a German biography, Patton's Battalion crossed, and the heights of Aubenton, where the Germans tried to resist. Duncan's Battalion took Logny, and, carried away by their arder, could not be stopped short of Gue d'Hossou, on Nov. 11, and Aubenton. We have hardly had the time to appreciate you and already you depart. As Lieut. Colonel Duncan said Nov. 28, in offering to me your regimental colors "a a proof of your love for France, as an expression of your love for France, as an expression of our army, you have given us of our army, we have given it out of the fullness of your hearts." The blood of your comrades who fell on the soil of France mixed with the blood of our comrades who soluble the bonds of affection that unite us. We have, besides, the pride of having worked together at a magisterial task, and the pride of bearing on our heads the ray of a common grandeur. A last time—Au revolr All of us at AH 76081.

Twenty or twenty-two of them received no pay for days the government stored belong that they had been brought in as deserts and $50 paid to some officer who had brought them in. This payment had been charged against the soldering company of the government. None of these alleged deserts could understand why that charge was placed against them, all claiming that they had in no way evaded the police and had imitated their customary work, continued to reside in the same place, had not changed their names, and had at all times held themselves in readiness to pay the summons of the local board when they should be called to the service.

As a matter of fact, they all claimed that no notice had ever received by any of them, although the local board knew of their whereabouts. "One of these Colored soldiers said that he had come to the camp of his own free will as soon as he learned of his order to report. When asked if no one come with him to the camp at Johnston, he came to the master's brother had come with him, but that he had paid his own fare as well as the fare of his companion, who told him that he was going to Jacksonville anyway, and as an accommodation would go to the camp with him and he would return.

The woman is said to be an inhabitant of a shady resort. She declared to officers who he was an employee of an empty swelling and at the point of a pistol forced her to yield to his desires. She further alleges that she was kept prisoner in the house for two days. Kelly, who is a land owner and of good reputation, declared that the master is a frame-up and the work of his assistants was completed.

Policemen Graft "Another, who lived in Georgia, stated that he registered in June, 1917, and then learning that there was need for a police department, the village had gone there and secured employment. After arriving in Jacksonville he notified his local board of his change of address by letter and told him that he had been employed. He worked a few weeks in the shipyards and then got employment with the government in the post exchange at the camp. While he was thus employed by the government, within the camp, he was called in to the name, a policeman came out from town and arrested him as a deserter, and, escorting him about two blocks to camp headquarters, collected $50. This amount was used against the soldier and deducted from his pay in spite of the fact that he had conducted himself in accordance with the draft regulations, and that he had the first knowledge he had of any notice calling him into the military service. "These are merely two cases illustrative of the whole number of alleged desertion cases in this one company of officers who received, through the mail or otherwise, the customary notice sent by the local boards advising them that they had been called into the military service. It was because certain influential men and their friends were making considerable money by bringing these men in and collecting $50 for each. One of them was $200 in this questionable manner." Postmaster Aided Grafters 'How was this done? It was done in this way: These Colored men got nothing through the mail in the form of a notice calling them into the mill-room. That was the method used by the local man, the doctor, and since these cards giving notice were not returned to the local boards as undeliverable the draftees would be listed as deserters if they did not appear on the date set at the place where they were sent out by the local boards, but the postmaster did not deliver them as addressed, but held out certain ones and kept them until the draftee was one day delinquent. Then he would send them to the doctor who would go out and make arrest, and collect $50 for each one apprehended.

Jackson, who headed the Negro welcome committee, composed of Col. John R. Marshall, Alderson L. B. Anderson, Adelbert H. Roberts, Hons. Ed Wright, and others. There was an attempt at speechmaking, but the crowd was too full to listen. Col. Pelouze, extending the welcome in behalf of the city, got as far as "We welcome you," but his voice was drowned in a mighty ovation that punctuate when he climaxed his words: "What the black soldiers need is just what the black civilian needs—just fair play and an equal chance to make good." With these words the crowd was ready to listen to anything. Col. Roberts spoke; then Col. Duncan, who made the response in behalf of the city.

Rice, a prominent manufacturer of Adams, N. Y., has discovered a process of making a paint it does without the use of oil.

We chose the latter. These moments are sacred ones to us, but still more sacred when we think that we come back to us without some of our brave comrades in France."

Strong men who had just fought valiantly, facing the withering baptism of fire at all times, men who entered the famed Argonne forest and had weathered all the hardships and hardships of war, moracy, wept, screened, but for these interruptions the crowd was still.

Duncan greeted his mother from Springfield, who had not seen him for over two years. "My son, she" said, "you are so good." "My mother," greeted the son with tears—and they sat clapped in one another's arms. Miss Wharton, a prim little maid, stepped to one stalwart and announced: "How do 'dwo do?' Don't you remember? My name is America." "My names France," replied our hero, beamingly. Roy Chestnut from under his "gallanized derby" told our reporter: "Well, I wouldn't give a million for my experience, and I wouldn't take two million to leave State street." There was a sure contingent of girls on hand to relieve the boys of their steel helmets, and already South Side girls were coming a hard time supplying the style notchers with the "latest," in vogue. "Now, did you see James Jones, with the new found French air, mustache and Polly von Frawnoe stuff?" queried Elsie May Smith as she attempted to surprise her cavallier of the postal and found him entertaining a bevy of the dames. "About 12 o'clock mess call was sounded and the boys were tendered a reception, after which followed more kissing and handshaking.

O'BRIEN & CO. 3457 INDIANA AVENUE DOUGLAS 1588 OBITUARY Stewart-Jones UNCLE CPH SAYS The boys are here, the man who runs read, and as you run don't forget your collars; they may contain your initials. A lady down on 18th street found her swollen heart unfamiliar. She brought her razor into play, and as he attempted to take some air she relieved him of a large portion of his pants. Oh. I came near forgetting the real point in the story, he was 59 years old. You can't cool him for that. Bill Adams, the State street wool merchant, says that he is prepared for the boys and hopes that the boys are prepared for him. Well, we met the Eighth.. Phil Jones and me boarded the train in Cleveland. We both saw many Learned lots of French during the trip. If the young lady who works at a swell drug store on the South Side don't be careful how she slips in the taxi with white men around 35th and 36th street, find it out. Uncle Eph won't call your name this time, but step light here after. Well, sir, they say that John Whitton (Lovie Joe) broke up the parade at Jackson boulevard and Michigan Avenue, shaking hands with Capt. Jimmy Simmons, who was very careful what we did Monday. Tom Cole, one of the popular dispensers of the wet goods on the Stroll, is arranging an elaborate spread for the boys of the Eighth when they are given the claims to have the proper titations for men who have given overseas service.

Douglas 1565 WEEKLY TALKS ON REAL ESTATE The value of property is taken from the location, improvements, income or revenue, and last but not least, the mortgage on a concurrence it will carry to make it merchantable; and the general impressa that property purchased by or leased to it has a positive value is without merit. This often makes the landlords hesitate to rent and the owners refuse to sell. The large numbers of owners who are dealing with our people through agents (wholly ignorant and even if they know better how to deal with them) another, placing them all in one class), insist on getting top prices in rentals and are continuously increasing the prices with the least cost in the upkeep. Unfortunately, in not giving the better class protection, when their leases expire they move to more desirable properties, and the first applicant who comes along with the money and is willing to take the place in the condition they want the genants who follow take no pride in the property, the sanitary conditions and many times sub-rent each room for light housekeeping, crowding the place beyond all situations with undesirable rooms. This is not the neighborhood and discrimination follows. Again unseruptuous agents call a meeting of property owners in the neighborhood and discriminate ganda, with restrictions in selling and renting; then later find some of their number making profit by dealing with one who has the money to buy. This starts a controversy, and the others become disgusted, throw their property on the market for sale regardless of who and we are receiving all benefits from it. It is my opinion that if the owners would personally investigate the character of their tenants and superintend the repairs to the property, keeping it in good condition, there would be less subsequent deterioration or depreciation in value. When realizing the loss of millions of dollars in money and property values, I am satisfied the democracy of Chicago will awake and overcome this issue.

Chicago, your host, and she speaks for the heart of Illinois. For years you have been on our pride. We saw you grow from a nondescript, straggling few into a highly equipped, well organized body of men that was the equal of any living force in the country. We watched you on many a gala day and wondered if the time would ever come when your mettle would be tried. When your hour struck you rang true. There had been some among you who were entitled to be holiday swashbucklers, strutting chanticleers on parade, when the supreme test came hid behind the skirts of wife or mother or plead with class of business to veil their cowardice. Their sole purpose was to use you in their own ends, to foist themselves into public notice for secretralization. SOLDIERS OF THE EIGHTH, you were not of this class. When your country called you answered "Here." No tie of home, no business extremism, is strong enough to make of you laggards. Girding your loins for battle under circumstances more trying than any that ever confronted a body in a march, marching behind a flag in whose blue field no star of hope had ever been for you, taking heed of no sacrifice, however great, you went forth to take in a cause not local, not national, but human. We expected great things to you, and we were not disappointed. Your record speaks for itself and measures up to the noblest traditions of American soldiery. VALLEY FORGE, Lake Erie, New Orleans, Port Hudson, Fort Wagner, El Caney are milestones along a way blazed with the undying valor of black men, but when the story of St. Mihiel and the Argonne is written in material historians will accord you a place far above all these. We were not with you, but we know the story of your killed, of your wounded, of your long marches, of your life in the trenches; and we knew when you left us that would "take no prisoners." SO HERE'S A HAND, old Eighth, and "G'ie us a hand o' thine." We speak for you a royal welcome, and a royal it will be. We confess the envy you experience. We would give much to have been with you, have shared your hardships in camp and on the march, to have received our training and the larger opportunities which have been yours for study and observation. We would give much to have learned your lesson of obedience and discipline. You are all bigger and better men than when you left us. You bring back to us leaven of which we stand sorely in need. You will be able to impart to us the lessons of co-operation, efficiency and a new association of the purposes of life. IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS you will have been absorbed into the body of static and your experiences will have become a memory, but rest assured that you will not be forgotten. The eyes of a grateful nation will follow you and your gratitude of your fellow citizens will have a concern for you and your who remained at home expect much of you. The same fighting spirit which you displayed upon the battlefields of Europe is needed in the titan's struggle for survival through which we are passing in this country today. WE ARE LOATH TO BELIEVE that the spirit which "took no prisoners," tamely and meekly submit to a program of lynching, burning and social racism as has obtained in the past. With your help and experience we will look forward to a new tomorrow, not of subserviency, not of meek and unable obeisance to any class, but with a determination to demand what is due at all times and in all places. You left home to make the world a place for democracy and your work will have been in vain if it does not make your own land a safer place for you and yours. The country that condenses your service in times of war owes you protection of life and proper times of peace, and the nation that cannot furnish its citizens with such guarantee has no right to demand service in time of war. WE HAVE NO SYMPATHY with that class of truckling, fawning individuals among our people sent to do missionary work among you in the battle area. There you were told by these sycophants that upon returning to your land your attitude should be one of humility and meekness. Humility and meekness to whom, pray? To the draft dodgers, to the burners of mure plants and supply depots, to the cowardly lynchers and night riders, whoained at home masked behind one excuse or another while you risk and limb? Better extermination there, better an unmarked grave in the of France, better any fate, however bitter, than such dog-like cowardry any master. If you have been fighting for democracy, let it be a rebellion, a democracy in which the blacks can have equal hope, equal opportunities and equal rewards with the whites.

THERE IS AN INCLINATION on the part of many people who have acquired liberty bonds and war savings stamps to hold these securities cheaply. This is a very great mistake. Government securities are the very best investment that can be made.

Many individuals who would otherwise have squandered their savings find themselves in possession of bonds of various denominations which represent a certain amount of saving. These bonds have a market value, a certain borrowing power, and the tendency of holders to consider them of little consequence is foolish in the extreme. Let us suppose, for instance, that some emergency might arise such as sickness, death or industrial depression, and money was needed, the holder of a liberty bond or of war savings stamps could take his securities to the nearest bank and offer them as collateral to obtain the necessary loan. Such an emergency is liable to arise in the life of any individual. A FIFTY or a hundred dollar bond seems of little consequence, for the day for payment may seem remote, but the time may come when the holder of such security finds it of incalculable help. Loan sharks, installment houses and unscrupulous profiteers offerattering inducements for this paper, and for what reason? By no stretch of the imagination can these gentry be placed in the role of philanthropists. They take advantage of your necessity or ignorance to fatten their own coffers. They buy your bonds at a figure below par and reap an enormous harvest of profits by holding them till the market value is enhanced, or by the exchange of merchandise such as is offered by the installment houses, upon which a double profit is charged. YOUR GOVERNMENT SECURITIES in the form of liberty bonds or war savings stamps should be held as a guarantee against want. It is just so much money saved for the rainy days. The sacrifice has already been made in acquiring it, and you should not part with it except in a great emergency. If you must make a sacrifice use it only as a literal to obtain a temporary loan sufficient for your needs and redeem it as quickly as possible it is an easy matter to obtain a loan when your city is good, and not as a later and surer borrowing power than CHICAGO DEFENDER GOD'S WAY SHIP OFF STATE FIRE JUDICE SECRETATION LOOKING OVER THE FIELD THE WAR OVER, the next thing on the program, is that the machinery of our country back to its construction is far more difficult than destruction, and no material loss in the way of razed buildings of ships or any vast number of its lightning-dollars and billions of dollars worth of supplies. America, the richest of all nations, which from the acutal seat of fighting, can look back, is over, and feel that it did its bit, and did its work. THE BANKER of the filled nations. England and France and Italy as debtor nations are run over turbulent Russia dipped into Uncle Sam's country among the allied forces was a beneficiary. The Sam's bounty. The human mind is almost gar preparations made by this country to put down of docks were built, cold storage plants, sugars necessary to keep our boys fed, clothing and war munitions. THIS VAST IMPEDIMENTA must be returned, generating three million or more be demobilized of peace, and a place must be found for even the nation summoned them to arms it employment, and by every rule of justice the pay are returned to the places from which they were a moral certainty. Already scores of men go this about. LAN of reconstruction dealing with the militar workmen there must be no color line, a grifed little or nothing, not even purchasing, during the army abroad, should be given to unguage that the artificial barriers heretofore will not obtain. In the workshops and factories of alien workmen who cannot and do not desist sympathies were not with this government in war has taught the American people anything, sitting pot. We have learned with bitterness the population found worthy are those whose loyalities of the country are above question. O TIME to quibble about questions of social the domination of one class over another, the spirit of nationalism. Justice and fair play will take its place among the world's failures in determining the qualifications necessary for loyalty and efficiency, and the employer who may other spirit stamps himself as un-America the tenor of the times. WITH THE WAR OVER, the next thing on the program is to settle down to work and get the machinery of our country back to its normal running capacity. Reconstruction is far more difficult than destruction, and while our country suffered no material loss in the way of razed buildings, devastation of lands, destruction of ships or any vast number of its fighting men, it poured billions of cold dollars and billions of dollars worth of supplies into the world war sinking fund. America, the richest of all nations, while thousands of miles away from the acutal seat of fighting, can look back, now that the titanic struggle is over, and feel that it did its bit, and did it with a will. SHE WAS THE BANKER of the filled nations. England owes her several billions, and France and Italy as debtor nations are running England a close second; even turbulent Russia dipped into Uncle Sam's war chest. In fact every country among the allied forces was a beneficiary in one way or another of Uncle Sam's bounty. The human mind is almost staggered by the enormous war preparations made by this country to put itself on a war footing. Miles of docks were built, cold storage plants, supply depots and many other things necessary to keep our boys fed, clothed and supplied with the necessary war munitions. ALL OF THIS VAST IMPEDIMENTA must be returned to our shores. An army aggregating three million or more must be demobilized and returned to the pursuits of peace, and a place must be found for every man called to the colors. When the nation summoned them to arms it took them from remunerative employment, and by every rule of justice the government must see to it that they are returned to the places from which they were taken. That this will be done is a moral certainty. Already scores of organizations are at work to bring this about. IN THE PLAN of reconstruction dealing with the metamorphosis of soldier into civilian workmen there must be no color line, and the stay-at-homes, who sacrificed little or nothing, not even purchasing the bonds necessary for maintaining the army abroad, should be given to understand in unmistakable language that the artificial burriers heretofore raised against the black man shall not obtain. In the workshops and factories of this land are thousands of alien workmen who cannot and do not desire to be nationalized. Their sympathies were not with this government in its hour of peril, and if this war has taught the American people anything, it is our utter failure as a melting pot. We have learned with bitterness that the only elements of our population found worthy are those whose loyalty and devotion to the institutions of the country are above question. THIS IS NO TIME to quibble about questions of social equality, of race superiority or the domination of one class over another. We must at all hazards foster a spirit of nationalism. Justice and fair play must be the rule or our republic will take its place among the world's failures. There should be but one test in determining the qualifications necessary for employment, and that test is loyalty and efficiency, and the employer who approaches the subject with any other spirit stamps himself as un-American and out of harmony with the tenor of the times. HONORS WITH A JIMMIE WEEKS AGO we called attention to the need representative committee of Chicago citizens of the 5th Resigment. In that connection persons from every walk of life. This much who themselves came from every walk of life this time to apologize for the failure of our strongly suggested at the time the recognition SEVERAL WEEKS AGO we called attention to the necessity of the appointment of a representative committee of Chicago citizens for the reception of and entertainment of the 5th Regiment. In that connection we suggested the selection of persons from every walk of life. This much was due the returning soldiers, who themselves came from every walk of life. We regret to be compelled at this time to apologize for the failure of our suggestion. Instead, as we strongly suggested at the time, the reception committee was made up of small-bore politicians and their henchmen, in the main. The few laymen tacked on stand out as notable exceptions. THE OUTSTANDING FEATURE, however, of the committee is the presence of some as moving spirits who should be the last to offer themselves in this particular instance; and the reasons are obvious. If these gentry are lacking in shame, the public is not. One need not be surprised at the hue and cry raised against their activity. There is at least one ray of hope—the spectators were too much engrossed in looking at real heroes to waste any time upon holiday soldiers. IF THER WAS ANYTHING LEFT UNDONE to make the homecoming of our fighting 5th more genuinely royal we would like to have someone in the back seat rise up and tell us about it. ANY REPUBLIC that asks of any class of its citizens an attitude of humility and subservience is sounding its own death knell. CORRUPTION, the arraying of class against class, made the republic of Rome an easy prey to the barbarians who swarmed across their borders. What was true of the Roman republic may be true of this or any other republic. Justice and equality are the surest and safest bulwarks for any nation.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES, FIRST AID REMEDIES HYGIENICS AND SANITATION No Cases Are Diagnosed and No Prescriptions Given in These Weekly Articles Many of the poorly informed are circulating the pernicious doctrine that "influenza, or what is commonly known as Spanish Influenza, is a disease that is due to this is dangerous doctine, misleading and fraught with great danger. Take for instance, the soldiers who tied the ropes on the machine guns—who "went over the top"—many of them lost their lives in "going over the top." Does any sane man that they were filled with fear? A. B. And yet, tens of thousands of those brave boys died with influenza; they were surrounded with the best hygienic and sanitary conditions in the various Base Hospitals and given the best possible medical care and nursing. And you would have been surprised that during the recent pandemic, although the rating of this disease was of short period, six million of people died of influenza; five hundred thousand, or half a million, died in these United States, our own country. And you would have been surprised that his mortality rate is due to fear, when you consider the most robust, the healthiest and the best cared for members of the human family died so rapidly—victims of this disease? Many Christian Scientists have been strong in their belief that at the bottom of all influenza diseases. Now, we have no quarrel with the Christian Scientists. During the eight years we have been trying to educate the public along the line of hygiene and sanitation, better housing conditions, and better teaching, never said one word disparaging of the teaching of the Christian Scientist. We do know that in many cases of nervous and mental derangement, where there is no structural or organic derangement, that Christian Science has been able to teach in teaching self-control—in easing the mind, in giving hope and optimism to many discouraged and despondent persons. That is why we say we have no quarrel with Christian Scientists; but, the facts add to the proposition that Spanish influenza, or influenza, in gripe or epidemic bronchial pneumonia, is due or that at the bottom of the chain of infection is "wear." According to the Christian Scientists, we have no reason to fear that moment influenza would be banished from the earth. And yet, as said above, many of our soldiers went "over the top"—shot with bullets or killed by influenza and never at any time gave any demonstration of their power. Definition of Influenza Allow us to quote the definition of influenza from a very reliable medical dictionary. It is as follows: "Influenza, an epidemic disease—marked by depression, distressing fever, acute catarral infection of nose, larynx and bronchi, and neuralalgic and muscular influenza disease is due to the beauilux influenza disease in a few days to one or two weeks; relapses frequently occur, the patient being left weak for a long time and subject to colds, etc.; complications are frequent, the chief one being pneumonia, and various affections of the eye are the most common. In a la gripe and grip, influenza (ital. means influence), (French meaning, seize or grip as in a visc.) Strange indeed would it be, if fear induces or brings about this awful train of physical ailments. Following influenza is often the case, the patient are weak and very susceptible to colds and affections of the respiratory tract. We have been advising people for the last few months, to rest, surround themselves with the best hygiene and sanitary conditions; and that the real cause of this present epidemic—that the most learned in the medical profession. It seems to make no difference what line of treatment is followed, many die. The best indication that one is putting up a good fight and on one road to recovery is shown by the blood examination, the blood examinations or blood counts. If the fighting elements of the blood keep up or show an increase of resistance, the outlook is good. If the fighting elements show a decrease or who had just returned from across the seas, visited the city of Osceola Saturday and told marvelous stories of the foreign countries.

The Various Cures Among the various cures advocated by the laity, there are many ridiculous and nonsensical remedies. The Tar Cure. One lady advocates the drinking of pure pine tar. She advises you to put the tar in a kettle and pour water over it and let it boil; and peel it off. You stand. You are to drink that and allow tar water and it will cure you of influenza or any other disease. She advocates the drinking of this tar water frequently and plentifully. The Bible and Lord's Prayer. This may be good. Another lady advises that the Bible be read and the Lord's Prayer be said each and every morn- in our public schools and in other places of public assemblage, stating that this will keep away the dreaded disease. Another poor deluded victim advocates the taking of plenty of peroxides of hydrogen—she states it will prevent and cure influenza—it will not only prevent and cure influenza but stamp another enthusiast advises and states that he went through the worst part of the recent epidemic of influenza by wearing asafetida around his neck, and rubbing his feet night and morning with sulphur. He also wore some sulphur in his shoes. Thus protected with asafetida and sulphur he mingled with others, and had the disease and he knows that his life was saved by the use of asafetida and sulphur. Drinking of Whisky. Letters have been piling into our office for weeks and months advocating the use of plenty of whisky as a "sure cure" for influenza. "Drink good whisky if you can, but by all means keep your system full of whisky and keep away the flies!" The whisky exploded. The best medical authorities say you that an habitual whisky drinker comes down quicker with pneumonia, tuberculosis and any respiratory disease, and that he succumbs much quicker than those who are not habitual users of alcoholic beverages. One should never take alcoholic beverages, whisky beer, gin or rum, not even brandy, into a system except upon the advice of a careful, experienced physician. The Real Cure Not Known The medical profession so far has been groping in the dark, research being made every day for the purpose of finding the real cure. We have learned about the use of hygiene, sanitation and right living go far in preventing and protecting one against the awful plague. Influenza, pneumonia and various respiratory diseases are very prevalent, and will continue to be until late in the spring. We are trying to stay away from public gatherings, except when absolutely necessary—to stay as far from people who are coughing and sneezing as you possibly can. Do not visit the sick any more than you can possibly help. Do not cup, cups, cups, cups, dippers, etc., unless you use the common towel on SAV VAYNIMI. And when you say you have sickened you below-part, you say you no sickened you being. GIVEN for three or four pain and cough, or other symptoms are very frequent, hears, very weak people have bee die suddenly when getting a fluenza and apparently in flu fever, they will have several weeks and months coverage from this disease.
