THIRTY-SECOND YEAR. NO. 11. IN VINITOR JUST LAVERATO BELGIAN CAPITAL IS REMOVED TO OSTEND Offcials Leave Antwerp as Germans Warn That City Will Be Bombarded. Amsterdam.—The Nieuw Dan Den Dag at Amsterdam says that the seat of the Belgian government Wednesday was moved from Antwerp to Ostend. The paper says the German commander of the forces besieging Antwerp sent an officer carrying a white flag into the city in the morning to announce that the bombardment of the temporary capital would commence at 9:30 clock in the morning. Many refugees left for Holland and at noon the government was transferred to Ostend. The government at Ostend will be protected by the big guns of British warships in the harbor as well as by British and Belgian troops on the landside. The city is unfortified, but it is known that since it was threatened by the Germans more than a month ago a large force of British marines, which landed, formidable earthworks were thrown up and heavy guns mounted. Ostend is about 65 miles southeast of Antwerp and is normally of about 45,000 population. Unquestionably the government would not have retired to Ostend unless sufficient measures had been taken for its safety there. GERMANS REPORT PROGRESS. Berlin (by wireless to Sayville, L. 1).—Despite the general expectations that a slight pause would be made in the advance of the Germans on Auswärt, it was reported Wednesday in government quarters that two more forts had fallen into German hands. They were Fort Kessel and Fort Brocken (respectively east and north of Lierre) which were no longer able to resist the destructive power of the German siege guns. According to the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, Great Britain transported the Indian Mohammed troops to France because these troops would perhaps become dangerous in the Indian unrest. "Servian papers published at Nish dechare that Russian policy has forced Servia into a desperate situation which may result in a total berakdown," continues the Lokal Anzeiger. RUSSIA TELLS OF BATTLES. Petrogrand—The Russian general staff has just issued the following statement: "On the East Prussian frontier the Germans, having brought up reinforcements from Koenigsberg, continue to oppose a tenacious resistance on the battle front of Vladislavoff and Patchka, profiting by the defiles, lakes and marshes in the region of Tchernganja. Beyond the Vistula advance guard battles have occurred in the region of Opatow and Sandomir. In the Carpathians west of the River Sanok an Austrian detachment was defeated and machine guns and prisoners captured. At Saliva, 20 kilometers from the city of Munkatch, we have captured an artillery park and numerous convvoys." AUSTRIANS ARE ADVANCING. Manchester, Mass. — Ambassador Dumba of Austria-Hungary has just given out the following official wireless message which he received from Czechoslovakia. "The Austro-Hungarian and German forces are successfully fighting shoulder to shoulder in Russian Poland. Their sudden advance seems to have completely surprised the Russians, who were repulsed across the Vistula in their attempt to cross that river. Our forces took a bridge held by the Russians near Sandomlers. The advance into Galicia is being carried on systematically. A Russnian division of infantry has been repulsed by us near Tarnobrzeg. The defeat of the Russians in the Carpathians is complete." AVIATORS FIGHT IN AIR DUEL BETWEEN GERMAN AND FRENCH FLYERS IS WATCHED BY MANY SOLDIERS. Bordeaux. — Official dispatches received by the French war department give a graphic account of an aerial duel watched by thousands of soldiers of the French and German armies, Oct. 5, at Jonchery, in the region of Rheims. A German aeroplane ascended with two men, and after circling over the French positions was returning to its own lines, when Sergt. Frantz, expert French aviator, accompanied by his mechanic, Quinault, sprang to a machine and gave chase. By a skillful maneuver the French aeroplane took the German on the flank and wounded the pilot and put a bullet through the gasoline tank. Sinks German Vessel. London, Eng.-Submarine E 9 of the British navy, under command of Lieut. Com, Max K. Horton, made another raid into German waters off the mouth of the River Ems and succeeded in sinking a German torpedo boat destroyer. This same submarine under the same command made a similar dash and sank the German cruiser Hela off Helgoland Sept. 13. As on the former occasion the E 9 has safely returned to her home post. The action was witnessed by the Dutch coast guards. THE GAZETTE C. H. D. LEVY Harriet Whiting Gatewood, daughter of Medical Director John Duncan Gatewood of the United States navy, has just become the bride of Dr. Henry E. Jenkins, U. S. N., the wedding ceremony taking place at the home of her parents in Washington. AIM TO HAVE MORE HAPPINESS IN LIFE Two Organizations of Great Interest to Married Persons Are Incorporated. New York City.—Two new organizations which are of great interest to married persons were incorporated Wednesday in the supreme court. One is the Society for the Promotion of Family Happiness and the other is the National Bureau of Desertion, Inc. Justice Ford O. K.'d the latter organization, but he told the incorporators of the other society to consult the state department of education and ascertain if its purposes will not conflict with the objects of that department. Here are the purposes of the Society for the Promotion of Family Happiness: To aid mothers in training and disciplining their children and particularly to prepare children for the duties of married life; to help men and women to lead proper lives; to prevent a difference arising between married couples; to improve the mentalities of those about to be married so that there will be fewer foolish marriages. The incorporators are Charles Hills. Peter Walbel and George Offestetter, The National Board of Desertion, Inc., has been approved, by the court. It proposes to keep families from separating and in case the family is broken up to try reconciliation. It also proposes in case the husband has deserted his wife without cause to bring him out of his "concealment" and restore him to his family by granting him amnesty for past offenses. Federal Judge Julius M. Mayer, Minnie F. Low of Chicago, Leo A. Price, Elm Holmzolm, Felix Frankurter and Joseph M. Proskauer are among the directors. PASSENGERS ON STREET CAR HURT WHEN COACH IS HIT BY FREIGHT TRAIN. Akron, O. — Five persons were injured at Barberton when an Akron-Barberton street car was struck by a string of freight cars at the 8th-st belt line crossing. The force of the collision turned the street car completely over. The injured — William Blair, Barberton, ribs crushed, leg broken and bruised; Margaret Rebel, Barberton, hand crushed, head bruised; William Boden, Barberton, leg fractured; George Ogilvie, Barberton, leg broken; W. E. Snyder, Barberton, bruised about body. H. F. Mull, conductor on the trolley car, and H. P. Droneberger, a passenger, were on the rear platform when the crash came. They escaped injury by jumping. Boden and Ogilvie were among the most seriously injured. Blair, the motorman, had no time to jump and with the other injured was buried in the wreckage. Blair and Mull, who were in charge of the trolley car, say there was no danger light on the freight train, which was backing up. The trolley car was midway across the railroad track when hit. $543,000 for Eric Ports Washington, D. C.—Lake Erie ports have been allotted a total of $543,000 out of the $20,000,000 rivers and harbors bill passed by congress. The Ohio river gets $1,769,000. As the rivers and harbors bill finally passed distribution of the lump sum of $20,000,000 was left entirely to the board of army engineers. In announcing the allotment the board set aside for Lake Erie ports these amounts: Cleveland $150,000, Conneaut $243,000, Toledo $135,000, Huron $12,000, Vermilion $3,600, Port*Clinton $500. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1914. SOCIAL SETTLEMENT WORK. How Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Burrell Are Shaping Young Lives. East Orange, N. J. - The East Orange social settlement, though but a little over a year old, is one of the powers for good in Essex county. It is under the auspices of the ladies' guild of the Munn Avenue Presbyterian church of East Orange, N. J., of which the following ladies are the officers: Mrs Geo, R. Howe, president; Mrs. Cyrus Hitchcock, secretary, and Mrs. Dr. Charles A. Groves, treasurer. For fifty years the Munn Avenue church has taken front rank in its uplift work for colored people all over the country. One lady of the guild has been especially untiring in her work for the settlement, Mrs. M. L. Cook. In April, 1913, the services of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Burrell of Virginia were secured, and through them the settlement was organized and placed in practical operation. The purposes as taken from the Settlement folder give a clear idea of the work of the settlement. It says: The East Orange social settlement is conducted for the betterment of the community life of the colored people of East Orange. Its purpose is to help people to help themselves, to extend a sympathetic hand to those who may, because of circumstances, feel downtrodden and oppressed, to hold open the door of hope to every worthy colored boy and girl and to reclaim those who are erring. The settlement house is a model of neatness and cleanliness, and in itself is a powerful object lesson to the many children who come within its portals daily and who are pleased to call it home. Habits of cleanliness, thrift and self respect are incubated, and the children of the settlement are taught to be jealous of their good name. Each child who is enrolled becomes a part of the settlement family, and Mrs. Burrell becomes the "little mother," while Mr. Burrell is the "big brother" of every one. As no two children are alike in disposition and requirements, a careful study made of every child in order to find out how he or she may best be helped. Race pride is taught through the study of prominent examples of Negro manhood and womanhood. The children are taught that here is hope for them and that they will be rewarded according to their merit, in spite of their color. The model flat, or home, as it might better be called, shows that a home can be clean and healthy though humble, and that one does not have to sell himself to the installment man in order to be happy. The settlement teaches that it is better to watch the cost of high living than to be bothered about the so called high cost of living. Through its cooking classes it shows how one may live well and yet cheaply. The doctrine of self help underlies all the work of the settlement, and the children are taught to depend on themselves for success in all things. The settlement seeks to help not only the children, but the parents are also visited in their homes and timely suggestions made as to how they may make the most of life for themselves and their little ones. The sick are visited, the hungry are fed, the naked clothed and those in distress of any kind receive a helping hand. The influence of the settlement for good is recognized on all sides and the judge of the children's court of Essex county has commended children to its care and supervision. THE J. E. SPINGARN MEDAL. Announcement of Conditions Upon Which It shall Be Awarded. Dr. J. E. Spingarn offers to furnish annually a gold medal not to cost more than $100, and to be awarded for the highest or noblest achievement by an American Negro during the preceding year, upon the following terms and conditions: The board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People shall select five persons, who may or may not be members of that board, as the committee of award, and this committee shall have full charge of the awarding of the medal, and its decision in regard to all matters connected with the medal shall be final. Preferably at the annual conference on the Negro, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, this medal shall be awarded, with appropriate ceremonies, to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor, and the committee of award shall decide for itself in each year what particular act deserves the highest acclaim, and nothing in this section shall be understood to limit their choice in any way to any one field, whether that field be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. The committee of award may withhold the award of the medal in any year if no achievement seems to merit an award, and in that event the committee may employ the money so withheld for the creation of one or more medals in the following year or years, to be awarded as a second, third or other prize in accordance with the same principles. The committee on award consists of Bishop John Hurst, chairman: Hon. William Howard Taft, Dr. James A. Dillard, John Hope and Oswald Garrison Villard. MAKING HEADWAY IN SUNNY SOUTH Success of Afro-Americans In San Antonio, Tex. MANY TURIFTY MERCHANTS Local Business League Sets the Pace For Co-operation and Concentration of Forces In Long Star State Metropolis—Great Advance In Education and Religious Culture. BY RALPH W. TYLER. San Antonio, Tex—One is struck with astonishment at the sight of two colored policemen patrolling the principal business street in this city. A colored policeman, even in the northern cities, because of his scarcity attracts attention, but to find one in a Texas city causes astonishment. But this is not the only thing colored which causes astonishment when one has made a tour over and through San Antonio, Church edifices, school buildings, business blocks and pretty homes possessed by colored citizens here incite one to marvel at progress being made by the race in this city. San Antonio has more good homes occupied by colored people than any other city in the country. Shacks which one frequently sees in many cities occupied by the poorer class of the race are almost unknown here, and because of Dr. J. T. Walton, one of the most successful colored builders in the country, having erected nearly 400 homes here for his race, these modern homes, whether pretentious residences or modest, well appointed cottages, displace the insanity and uninhabitable shacks. Many of these—nearly 400 homes built by Dr. Walton he sold after completion to members of his race; others he has rented to them so reasonably as to make it possible for every member of his race who must rent to live in a neat, modern home. This city has a colored population of 15,000, practically one-third of the city's total population. There is a decided Mexican air about San Antonio, the descendants of the Aztecs being numerous in this city, which was thoroughly Mexican before the United States annexed Texas. The relation, however, existing between whites and blacks and between blacks and Mexicans is perfectly cordial and mutually helpful, friction being reduced to such a low minimum it is hardly observable. The colored man down here is aspiring to economic independence, and this is shown by the number of business establishments now in existence. There are two drug stores, both of which are fine and well conducted establishments; a steam laundry, life insurance company, real estate, plumbing, poutry farming, automobile trucking, printing, undertaking, tailoring, contracting and groceries are a few of the business activities in which men of the race are engaged in this city and in which they have invested a considerable amount of capital. The local Negro Business league here, of which Dr. Walton is president, is a strong factor in inducing members of the race to engage in business and to patronize those already in business. There are four public schools for colored children, and they are among the best school buildings I have seen provided for colored pupils in the south. The colored teachers here receive the same salary as white teachers for the same grade of work, and this, being so unusual in the south, is another fact to excite astonishment and approval in San Antonio. There are nineteen colored churches here—eight Baptist, four M. E., two A. M. E., two Catholic, one Episcopal and two Church of God. There are thirty-two colored teachers, ten physicians, two lawyers and three dentists, one of whom is a woman. Dr. Walton, who has done so much for his race in this city, was a practicing physician up to within six or seven years ago. Seeing the need of decent homes for his race here, he began building homes on a small scale, being his own architect and contractor. The demand for modern homes increasing, he gave up the practice of medicine, a profession in which he was a great success, and turned his attention to business. Although possessed of a fine competency, culture and youth, Dr. Walton has been so busy building homes for his race he has never stopped to contemplate building a home for himself. It is estimated that the colored people of this city control $350,000 worth of real estate and that they have $150,000 invested in business enterprises, such as enumerated in this letter. A fine U. B. F. temple, with an auditorium and office rooms above and storerooms on the ground floor, was recently completed, of which W. Sidney Pittman was the architect and Wyndom Brothers of Birmingham, Ala., the contractors. It is a fine building, thoroughly modern and one to which the race can point with pride. Among the men of the race here who co-operate with Dr. Walton in an effort to improve both the business, educational and civic condition of the race are: H. C. Childs, Dr. William Drake, H. D. Parker, John A. Grumbles, F. E. Lewis, Emmann Madison, G. W. Bouldin, J. O. Robinson, Professor S. J. Sutton and Messrs. Blackson. ZEALOUS BAPTIST LEADER. Success of Dr. W. H. Jernagin at Mount Carmel Church. Washington—The Baptist denomination in this city is represented by many able, well educated and progressive ministers. The duration of their services as pastor of their congregations extends in some instances over a period of twelve, fifteen, twenty-five and thirty-five years. The church edifices in the main are well kept and have modern improvements. Financially they are in splendid condition, being liberally sustained by the free will contributions of the members and congregation. The Mount Carmel Baptist church was fortunate enough about two years ago to secure the services of the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., who has greatly helped the church forward along all lines of its aspirations and progress. Under Dr. Jernagin's able leadership the congregation purchased the church edifice in which President Wilson worshiped when he became a resident of Washington and until the property was sold to the Mount Carmel congregation in February, 1914. As a pastor and church financier Dr. Jernagin has been highly successful. He is well and favorably known by the REV. W. H. JERNAGIN, D. D. Baptists in the southwest, and since he became the pastor of the Mount Carmel church his good work and influence have been widely felt. He believes in giving the young people of his church a chance to use their time and talent in all the activities of the church, and thus they are trained in the doctrine and discipline of the church of their faith. Dr. Jernagin spent most of his recent vacation traveling. Leaving Washington Aug. 2 he spent four days in Pittsburgh, attending the interstate conference of grand chapters of the Order of Eastern Star of the United States, of which he is interstate royal patron. As leader of that great organization he is planning with Mrs. Austin of Tampa, Fl., interstate royal matron, to bring about uniformity in the rituallistic work of the Order of Eastern Star and get all the grand chapters of the United States interested in the next biennial meeting. From Pittsburgh he went to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. His next stop was at Toronto, Canada, where he visited a number of institutions and points of interest. From Toronto he went to Kingston and the Thousand islands; thence to Montreal, passing through the great Cedar rapids and other places of interest. After spending some time in visiting the great churches and institutions in Montreal he continued his journey to Quebec, the quaint old historic city. There he visited many historic places. Short stops were also made in Richmond and Sheerwood. On his return to the United States he spent some time in Springfield, Mass., and New York city, where he visited the leading institutions. Dr. Jernagin returned home in time for the annual meeting of the National Baptist convention, which was held in Convention hall, Philadelphia, from Sept. 9 to 14 inclusive. He is doing a great work in Washington and takes an active part in all good movements for the advancement of our people. He is especially loyal to and outspoken in matters relating to the civil and political rights of the race as vouchsafed by the federal constitution to all citizens of this republic. Attorney F. B. Ranson Wins Case. The recent trip of Attorney F. B. Ranson of Indianapolis, Ind., to Jackson, Miss, whither he went to secure the release of a young colored man from prison, aroused much attention among the friends of his client, who is the son of a widow. Mr. Ranson was successful in his efforts, and the young man in question was pardoned by the authorities. The crime charged was for the murder of a white man, presumably in self defense. Mme. C. J. Walker of Indianapolis contributed the money with which to defray the expenses of the trial of the young man. New Weekly Paper In Orange, N. J. In Orange, N. J. where in the past no weekly paper published by a member of the race has been known to live for any considerable length of time. J. W. Mottley is making a success publishing the New Jersey Advocate. Mr. Mottley comes from the West Indies. He is very energetic, likes newspaper work and is building up a large circulation for the Advocate in the Oranges and other sections of New Jersey. He has already applied for admission into the National Negro Press association CAVALRY CLASH IS MOST DESPERATE Germans Put Up Stubborn Fight to Keep Foe From Entering Belgium. TEUTONS PARTIALLY SUCCEED Ground Lost by Allies is Regained, According to French Official War Statement—Kaiser's Troops Make Determined Attempt to Reinforce Gen. Von Kluck. Paris, France.—The German right wing cavalry has succeeded in pushing its advance from Toucouring west to Armeniere. Here it is engaged with cavalry from the allied armies, which is reported to be made up in large part of troopers from the British Indian regiments. This German cavalry is believed to be part of the screening force of a large body of artillery and infantry which was reported Tuesday by aviators of the allied armies to have set out for Armeniere, which is about nine miles west of Lille. Whether the artillery and infantry has succeeded in following the advance of the cavalry to Armeniere is problematical, for the reason that another screening body of cavalry, operating to the north of Lille, is reported in the latest official statement to have been held in its original position by the allied attacks. Allies Regain Lost Ground The latest official war office statement indicates that the German attempt to drive a wedge through the elbow at the junction of the north and south line, from Noyon to Armentierre, and the east and west line from Noyon across to the allied center, has failed again. The ground lost between Chaulnes and Roye was regained Wednesday, the official statement says. Undoubtedly the fighting in this northwestern theater of war was the fiercest Wednesday of any of the actions along the allied front. The movement of the German cavalry, artillery and infantry from Touroing west was recognized as a serious menace to the British line of communication with the coast cities, as well as the allied line into the northern part of Belgium. Therefore, the allies threw into action against the advancing Uhlans the pick of their available cavalry. The British Indian troops, the crack cavalry regiments of Gen. d'Amade and reinforcements from further down the north and south line were all hurled into the fray in the region from Lens to La Bassee and around Armentierre. The German movement of troops west from Touroing is construed here as a desperate dash to prevent the allied armies from crossing the Belgian frontier and winning their way to the relief of Antwerp. The preparations for hastening the bombardment of that city and the weakening of the German center and left to strengthen the right are all taken to indicate that the Germans recognize that the allied advance toward the Antwerp objective has been too steadily successful to be further temporized with. Germans-Attack Outposts. Germans Attack Outposts. Further evidence that the Germans have undertaken the movement of vast reinforcements to the armies of Von Kluck and Von Boehm is found in a report from Ypres, 20 miles south of Ostend and about 15 miles north and west of Lille, that German soldiers have made a determined attack on the advanced outposts, hurling themselves in large numbers against the forts and entrenchments. Reports from the center, where the situation remains unchanged with only desultory fighting going on in various places along the line, and from the German left wing, where the French are advancing despite all the resistance the Germans can bring to bear, indicate that these reinforcements to the German left are being taken from the eastern end of the line instead, as had been supposed, from the forces investing Antwerp. This belief is strengthened by reports reaching here by way of London that the attack on Antwerp is going on with redoubled vigor and that the Germans instead of diverting men to the aid of Gen. Von Kluck seem to have more troops in action. Assuming that this relief of Antwerp was the actuating motive back of the northward advance of the allies' left wing, there seems to be ample reason in the progress in the line of battle during the last fortnight for the German apprehension that unless Antwerp were soon taken it might be too late. The allies are pushing their northern battle line from the elbow of the Aisne and Oise further and further toward the Belgian objective with a speed that has evoked amazed commendation from military observers. Only a little more than a week ago the fighting was hottest around Albert north of the Somme. With the passage of a very few days the central point of contact had been pushed to Arras, 23 miles further north. Shell French Colony. San Francisco, Cal.-Two lives were lost, $2,000,000 damage was done, two vessels were sunk and two blocks of business houses and residences were destroyed by the German cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenan, in their bombardment last month of the French colony of Papeete, Tahiti. Refugees from the island told the story on their arrival here Wednesday aboard the Union Steamship Co.'s liner Moana, from Australia, which touched at Tahiti. The dead are but one native and a Japanese chauffeur. IN VIRON IN CONSTITUTION DRANK BICHLORIDE SAVED FROM DEATH Man Who Swallowed Enough Poison to Kill Two Horses Is Absolutely Cured. BROKERTOOK DEUG BY MISTAKE Stomach is Washed Out Five Times but Kidneys Become Paralyzed and Then Doctors Resort to Baking Treatment—Only Case on Record. New York City.—David R. Beach drank a glass of water three weeks ago and dissolved in it. it was 22 grains of bichloride of mercury, enough to kill two or three horses. Tuesday, however, Mr. Beach opened his desk in his brokerage office at 78 N. William-st and went to work, absolutely cured. His case is said to be the only one on record where a cure has been effected after the kidneys have stopped their functions. The cure was accomplished by the simple method of injecting hot saline solutions and baking Mr. Beach for intervals of half an hour at a time in an electric even heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Goes Into Heated Oven. "The doctors told me I had one chance in a hundred thousand and asked me if I was game to go into the oven." said Mr. Beach. "Then they turned on the heat. "It seemed as if they had all the heat in the world in that oven, and a couple of times it got so hat that I fancied I had died and gone somewhere else. But here I am and they say all that is necessary for me to do to live as long as anybody is to be a little careful of my diet." Drank Poison by Mistake. Mr. Beach drank the poisoned water by mistake before the law went into effect which compels the coloring of poison tablets so they will tinge water when dissolved in it. As he swallowed the last gulp he detected a metallic taste, became alarmed and investigated. Dr. Paul Pilcher arrived within five minutes and applied the stomach pump, subsequently washing out Mr. Beach's stomach five times with milk and the whites of eggs. Notwithstanding the promptness of the treatment Mr. Beach's kidneys became paralyzed and then the baking treatment was decided upon. FORMULATES DECISION FORMULATES DECISION BUCKEYE STATE UTILITIES COMMISSION RULES IN BUCYRUS LIGHT RATES. Columbus, O.—Admitting that its ruling in the Bucyrus Light & Power Co. case will form no guiding lines for other rate cases, the state public utilities commission has formulated its decision. The appeal to the commission was made by the company against an ordinance passed by the city council revising the rates. The council contended there were few real reductions, but a readjustment made the charges more equitable. It will be the finding of the commission that even on the basis of its valuation, recently made, the plant would be unable to earn a fair rate of return—presumably 6 per cent on the schedule of rates established by the council. It is declared the company is not on good terms with the public in Bucyrus because its attitude has been decided out of date with the advanced ideas of utility management. The commission also finds the council rates are not high enough to yield a profit. JUDGE PECK IS DEAD MEMBER OF CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION SUCCUMBES TO PARALYTIC STROKE. Cincinnati, O. — Judge Hiram D. Peck, distinguished member of the Hamilton county bar, died at his home here of a stroke of paralysis which he suffered recently. He was a judge of the superior court several years and was a member of the Ohio constitutional convention, in which he took an active part. Judge Peck at one time was Hamilton county's candidate for governor. His son, John Weld Peck, is leader of the Cincinnati Democracy. Bandits Take $2,437 From Bank. Oklahoma City, Okla. — Two masked robbers entered the Farmers & Merchants' National bank at Tupelo in Coal county and held up R. M. Armstrong, president of the institution, and the cashier. After taking $2,437 in cash the bandits escaped on horses. Tells People to Put Money in Banks. Washington, D. C. — "There is evidence in some quarters that individuals and corporations are boarding money; it is just as reprehensible for them to do so as it is for the banks," declared Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department in a statement just issued. "There is no reason," he continued, "why people should not deposit money in the banks in the usual way and with absolute confidence, and there is no reason why business should not be conducted in a normal way."

Cleveland SATURDAY, OCT. 10, 1914. This time, every voter must register if he wishes to vote in November. Please remember this and call your friends' attention to it. All should vote! One of the signs of the times is the way Progressives of 1912 are joining Willis clubs, and also the number of local Bull Moosers who are declining to run on the third-party ticket. Willis and Harding and all the rest of the Republican ticket are good enough for them. In the recent primary, only 49 Progressive votes were cast in Clark county, Illinois, as against L200 Republican votes. In 1912, this same county was one of the strongest Progressive counties in Illinois. The Progressive vote then was 1,180 as against 990 Republican votes. The Oct. 3, 1914, Savannah (Ga.) Tribune, Sol. C. Johnson, editor and proprietor, was in four sections, thirty-two pages, splendidly illustrated, and all home-print. We do not remember ever seeing anything its equal, in all of our near thirty-two years' continuous service in race journalism. Congratulations and sincerest best wishes for continued, and even greater success, Editor Johnson. Printed comparisons between the Republican and Democratic tariff which, dispatches say, the Democrats in power have refused to publish, evidently because they are afraid it will be used against them in the campaign, are not required by the American workingman. He knows what the Underwood tariff has done to him. The effort of Democrats in Congress, however, seems to be an attempt to be fuddle the workingman on the tariff and lots of other things. Under Republican protection, foreign manufacturers have been kept out by a tariff wall and the American government has used the products of American factories. But against the cheap labor of foreign manufacturers, American industries cannot hope to compete. It is well for those who have the good of the American workingmen at heart as well as the workingmen themselves to consider this fall before recording their votes this fall in favor of a democracy that has demolished the tariff wall Republicans built up to protect them. All the vaunted hopes of Bull Moose politicians that Maine Progressives wuld make a good showing in the recent State election vanished into thin air when the official returns came in. All the Bull Moose accomplished was the election of a Democratic Governor. The 47,000 and over votes they polled in Maine in 1912 was reduced in the recent election to a little over 17,000. The Republican gain was over 120 per cent. In three out of four Congressional districts, the Republicans won out over both the Democrats and the Bull Moose. Voters this year can get their best campaign arguments right at home. Are wages higher? Are times better? Are money conditions easier? Is the cost of living lower? Are bankers more ready to lend money? These are questions that can be answered without the assistance of campaign orators, or campaign text-books. The voter has only to ask himself and some of his friends these questions and others like them and then decide for himself whether he is going to vote to continue the conditions which now surround him. A TIMELY WARNING With the Hon. Warren G. Harding, candidate for U. S. Senator, local candidates for congress, Messrs. Matthews, Vail and Emerson, Judge Hart and other candidates for judgements and other local officers. Tom Fleming's meeting at Woodliff hall, this city, last Friday evening, was practically a failure in point of attendance. The hall was hardly half full, and it has a seating capacity of only about 300, or 400 at the most, and there are 4,000 Afro-American voters in Cleveland. John Fulton was advertised as one of the speakers. The speeches of Messrs. Harding, Vail, Emerson and Hart seemed to make the best impression on the small audience. They certainly were worthy of a much larger number of hearers. It seems difficult to make some of our white friends in politics ```markdown ``` understand that Fleming and Fulton, and some other persons of color they keep around them, will not do as our leaders, local or otherwise, even in politics, and the small attendance at last Friday evening's Woodliff hall meeting ought to open their eyes to this fact. The attempt to foist them on our people of this community, as their political leaders, cost Herman Baehr and Harry L. Davis, defeated Republican candidates for Mayor, hundreds of Afro-American votes, and it will do the same thing for the local and state Republican ticket, this fall, if persisted in. We here and now, call State and County Chairmen Jones' and Rodway's attention to this important matter, because we are as anxious as they are, to see a grand Republican victory, all along the line, especially in Ohio, in November. This is not the first time we have had occasion to direct the attention of local Republican leaders to this matter, and we hope that it will not be necessary for us to do so again. The editor of The Gazette thoroughly appreciates the kindly references to him Messra, Harding, Vall, Emerson and Hart made, in their speeches at Woodliff hall, last Friday evening, and thanks them for the same. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. Hermiston, Ore, Aug. 25, 1914. The Cincinnati Republican Gazette: Gentlemen — I have just seen an editorial of yours quoted in The Cleveland Gazette of August 22, and I highly approve of the expressed opinion of Senator Poraker, Ohio's most brilliant son. Mrs. Patricia Robison, Hermiston, Ore. Cincinnati, O, Sept. 1, 1914. Mrs. Patricia Robison, Hotel-Hermiston, Hermiston, Ore. Dear Madame—We thank you for your sympathy and join with you in the regret that former Senator Foraker failed of nomination in the first State-wide primary election held in Ohio. There is a lesson in his failure which has not been noted, and that was the sneaking letter which was sent to the family at the instigation of the antisaloon forces at the last moment, and which was circulated north of the National Road and among church members, declaring that he was a "wet" advocate. It was pot-house politics in its most virulent form, and disgraceful to the last deed of the church members, the opportunity was given to reply to it in the southern part of the State. When church members can be cajoled through a letter of that character into voting against a splendid Christian gentleman, a brave soldier, a statesman who is the last of the long line of church leaders, throughout more than a decade to the deliberations of the United States Senate, then it appears high time to ask the reason why. Cincinnati Republican Gazette, Mat Glaser, Frank E. Tunison, Editors The Governor Reprieves Him THE LAUGHING ANIMAL What a vivid light is thrown on the soldier's way of looking at things by these words from Gen. French's latest report: "The German howitzer shells are from eight to nine inches in caliber, and on impact they send up columns of greasy black smoke. On account of this they are irreverently dubbed "coal boxes," "black Martias" or "Jack Johnson" by the soldiers. "Men who take things in this spirit are, it seems, likely to throw out the calculations based on loss of morale so carefully framed by the German militarists." "Black Martias," indeed, and "Jack Johnson"! Have all the carefully planned psychological effects of artillery fire come to this? Is there no way in which man can be rendered permanently humble and awe-stricken in the presence of death? Apparently not. The philosopher who called man a laughing animal was wiser than he knew—Chicago Journal. The Turcos, Wonderful Fighters. Paris, France. "La Force Nire Noire," the "Black Army of France," as the Turcos now fighting with the allies are called, was organized by Colonel Maugin in 1911. The Turcos are Arabian light infantry recruited in 1900 and trained in 9000 Senegalese. Colonel Maugin raised the number to 50,000 soldiers recruited from Senegal in the Soudan, from French Guinea, Dahomey, Algeria, Tunis and Morocco. The use of the Arabs in European warfare by the Republic during the present conflict is not the first time the Turcos have employed black troops and they were used also in the storming of Malakhoft. Algeria also was drawn on for fighting men during the Franco-German war of 1870. Natural Color Production.

Editor Chicago Herald—A truly great leader is your "Are We Shaves of History?" It is logically correct, morally sound, philosophically profound and humanizing in its very essence. Never has mankind needed such lessons more than today, when race prejudice, nationality mania, revenge and hatred are being sown by teachers of religion, culture and education.

J., outpointed and outfought Sam Langford of Boston in a 10-round bout, in N. Y. City, Oct. 1. Both are heavyweights. Jack Johnson wants $30,000, and 50 per cent of the moving picture rights, to fight Jess Willard—in Cuba or Australia. Nowhere in G. Grant Williams' Philadelphia Tribune sketch of Hon. John P. Green of Cleveland, O., can there be found any reference to anything the latter has ever done, throughout his long public career, for his, the Negro race. Strange, isn't it? -Ex. Not at all strange to those who know. He was a long-time Washington, D. C., is dead. When the call came for Colored soldiers in the civil war he was among the first to enlist and was made sergeant, major of the First Maryland Regiment, participating in many battles and with the crowning triumph of having saved 3000 lives at the peril of his own, at Petersburg. For this deed Congress made him a medal man, the highest gift in the Government. In New Orleans heavyweight, continues to make the fight experts "sit up and take notice." He is another Jack Johnson, when it comes to fighting, all say who have seen him "in action." Bishop Cicero R. Harris of Zion A. M. E. Church, W. J. Trent, sec. of the Y. M. C. A., Atlanta, and seven of our doctors and lawyers, charged with burning one of our churches at Asheville and got to the insurance, were honorably acquitted in the Superior court, Sept. 29. Miss Hallie E. Queen, a member of the faculty of Howard University, Washington, D.

Jack Johnson's bond in that Mann "White Slave" (Chicago) case was only $15,000 and not $30,000, $25,000 or $55,00 as the daily papers have it. It has been forfeited. An insolvent real estate dealer, Matthew Baldwin and his mother, Milda Tina Bond with Jack's mother, Mrs Tina Johnson. The result is the forfeiture of the bond will cost Jack only $7,500. There is nothing in Link (Henry Lincoln) Johnson's political career worthy of emulation—there is little to emulate in the career of any strictly political acrobat or manipulator. Link Johnson should eschew politics, settle down to the practice of law, for which he is eminently equipped, and be constant to friends, and an open, fair fighter, rather than a deceptive one, he would record a mark of achievement high above the ordinary, and be able to show his skills in ing and unintelligibility.

Joe Wolcott Serves Twenty-seven Years in the Arena—Began Fighting at Sixteen. New York City—Little Joe Wolcott claims to have fought a longer career than any other living boxer and probably he's right. He refuses to tell his age usually. But his tongue was loosened recently when he met old acquaintances. "Why, I began to fight way back in 1887, when I was sixteen," he boasted. "I had a fight last week—even if the boxing commission doesn't know about it." So Joe has fought twenty-seven years, Kid McCoy began his ring career twenty years ago. Jack "Twin" Sullivan began bowling them over seventeen years ago. Wolcott is far past his prime. At his best he made only 133 pounds and stood five feet two. But when only a trifle heavier he hooked out several great heavy bowls. Chopnaki in seven rounds, Dan Creeden in one round, Wild Bill Hanrahan in twelve rounds. He drew with Sam Langford in fifteen rounds and won from George Gardner in twenty. People of Early Egypt People of Early Examination of Egyptian skeletons found in a cemetery a short distance to the north of the temples of Saqqara, and including the tomb of Hezey, have convinced Prof. Elliot Smith that the people who developed the wonderful and precocious civilization of Egypt were not pure aboriginal Egyptians. The dynamic period reveals skeletons deeply contrasting with those of early Egypt, and showing distinctly western Asiatic features. It was not until the proto-Egyptians came in contact with peoples of diverse origin in lower Egypt that new ideas and new manner of thought served to stimulate and help in the development of the Egyptian civilization. But among the early race Professor Smith finds "a surprising absence of the more obtrusive negro features." Chilean Floating Schools.

ONE FACT HE SIDE-STEPPED Many Statemen, Leading Professional and Business Men, Members of the Trades, Army and Navy Are Negroes—Intermarriage Common—All Harmonious. "Brazil and the Negro" is the subject of an interesting article by ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, which appeared in the "Outlook", some months ago, and to which extended reference was made in a recent issue by one of our writers. It is especially interesting, in reading the following, to note how carefully ol. Roosevelt "overthrew" the American war that "brought Brazil" "Negro" population is 80 percent of its total." The article in part: "Brazil is most fortunate in the fact that its white working population has nothing of the parasite about it. The whites do not endeavor to live on the labor of the blacks, the inevitable result of which, as shown in all other communities, is that ultimately the blacks crowd out of existence those who live on their labor. On the contrary, the bulk of the work, even in the white men, is done by the white men draw no line against the Negro, and in the lower ranks intermarriages are frequent, especially between Negroes and the most numerous of the immigrant races of Europe. In the middle class these intermarriages are rare, and in the higher class almost unknown so far as concerns men and women in which the black strain is at all evident. But even in the higher ranks there is apparently no prejudice whatever against marrying a man or a girl who is, say, seven-eights white, the remaining quantity of black blood being treated as a negligible element. The men and women with whom they are associated were of great importance, pure white, save in the comparatively rare instances where they had a dash of Indian blood. But they naturally and unconcernedly told me the facts as I have above related them. "Perhaps the attitude that the Brazilians, including the most intelligent among them, take is best symbolized by a picture we saw in the art museum in Rio. It portrayed a black grandfather, a mulatto son, and a white grandchild, the evident intention of the painter being to express both his identity and his being absorbed and transformed so that he would become a white man. It is idle to prophecy for any remote future, and it is a very doubtful thing to prophecy even about the immediate future, but my impression is that the guiding or ruling classes of Brazil will continue to be almost absolutely white; that in the classes immediately below them there will continue to be a certain small absorption of Negro people, and that in people this absorption will be larger—large enough to make a slight difference in the type." "Cute." The word "cute," which is a shortened form of acute, is not classical English, and it is not to be wondered at that you failed to find it in the dictionaries you consulted. It is a colloquial Americanism and might almost be classed as slang. It has two meanings. In the first place it means clever, especially in looking out for one's own advantage in petty ways, shrewd, smart, as a "cute trick." It also means small and pretty, attractive, as "a cute baby," "a cute little watch." Daily Thought.

James, daughter of Mr. and Mrs Lazarus James, prosperous tobacco growers and farmers of South Boston, Va., were quietly married, last week Thursday at Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Dennie's, 2285 E. 90th St., by Rev. Charles Bundy. After the ceremony, a sumptuous supper was served by Mr. and Mrs. Henry Blake and aunt, Mrs. Anna Honley Williams, of E. 90th St., by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coram, father in-law and mother of Mrs. Blake, recent bride and groom. The Gazette wishes the happy couples long life, health, happiness and success. The remaining registration days are past day and Saturday. October 16 and 17. Timothy Pullen, thirty-six, 621 Quincy Ave., janitor of the Globe theater building, Woodland Ave. near E 53d St. (he was the last Saturday by one of two patrolmen in citizens' clothes, who mistook him for a burglar. Pullen is at Charity hospital. He will recover, physicians said, unless blood poisoning develops. Patrolmen Gallagher and Taylor, E 37th St. station, have been on duty in the neighborhood of the theater building since last week Monday, when burglaries attempted to blow the theater safe. According to Capt. Graul, who investigated the shooting and later exonerated the patrolman. Pullen was seen at the rear of the building at 3:45 a.m. (The officers drew on him, ordered him to halt, "Instead of stopping and the patrolmen that he joined the building, Pullen ran away," said Capt. Graul. "Gallagher and Taylor ran after him. Pullen refused to obey an order to stop. Both patrolmen then shot at him. One of the bullets took effect in his left thigh. It wasn't until Pullen was being removed to the hospital that the patrolmen learned who he was. Pullen explained that he ran away because he thought the officers were burglar's." The following is from the Minneapolis (Minn.) "Twin City Star" of last week: "Many fr'ends of 'Bob' Schon were shocked to hear of his sad end on Sunday, Sept. 27. He was found dead by Miss Mamie Anderson at his apartment on Hennepin Ave. Death was due to heart failure. He had been under the constant care of Dr. Brown for many years. Mr. Schon was employed as steward in one of the offices of the city. He was well liked and his service were almost indispensable to his employers. Funeral services were held, Thursday morning, at Lawrence's chapel, attended by his closest friends, Rev. Carter spoke from the 25th Chap. of Matthew. A solo, "Face to Face," was sung by Jno. H. Allison, Mrs. Blanche Oliver, organist, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Dennie of Cleveland, caused, attended. The beautiful floral tributes were from Miss Mamie Anderson and The Porters and Waiters' club. His remains rested in a very expensive gray broad-cloth open cushet. Mr. and Mrs. Dennie accompanied the body to Clarksburg, W. Va., for burial. Robt. W. Schon was born in Clarksburg, W. Va., in 1866. He spent several years in Cleveland, O. Then came to this city—several years ago, where he was very successful in employment. He was very conservative, and pride in the welfare of his relatives, and was in every way trustworthy. Two sisters survive him. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Vancy of Maple Plain and Miss Anderson were among his near est friends here, and they also mourn their loss. Undertaker Lawrence conducted the arrangements." THE DU BOIS CLUB TO MRS. DELLA FUBANKS. Cleveland, Ohio, Seut. 16. 1914. Mrs. Dela Eubank, Our dear Honorary Member: Hearing of the sad loss which you have just experienced, makes us silent before God. What must it be to experience the same! Only when Christ brings His cross, He brings His presence, and where He is, none are desolate, and there he knows His own; so He knows how to comfort them. We know too well that words cannot comfort. Whether time can do so, remains yet to be seen. Remember Longfellow's beautiful poem, beginning: "There is a reaper whose name is death." Doubless you have read it many times; but it will have a new meaning to you now, and we feel sure it must comfort you, if anything can. Then either gave in tears. The flowers she most did love; She knew she would find them again in the fields of light above." Trusting that you will see only the side of the cloud that is turned to Heaven, we are, with deep sympathy. The Du Bois Literary Club, Blanche Glimare, Pres. Amele B. McNaughton, Cor. Sec. Human Eyesight Diminishing. A well-known English doctor recently made the statement that only about 30 per cent of the present population of Great Britain has normal eyesight, and if things go on as they are going now, he foresees a time when practically the whole of the British nation will be a nation in spectacles. Matter of Construction of Buildings Is One Worthy of Expert Attention. A Japanese professor, who has been giving the matter long and careful study, declares that 99 per cent of the loss of life and property in the fearful earthquake at Messina could have been avoided by proper construction of buildings in this known earthquake zone. No one can question Japan's right to instruct the world in the matter of "temblors." She has more of them than any other thickly settled region on earth, and yet she suffers comparatively small loss of life. Her great recent disaster, be it remembered, was caused by a volcanic eruption, not an earthquake. The architects of Nippon are said to pin their faith to wood as building material, save where foreign influence has become strong. The earthquake resisting qualities of good wooden construction are clear to all, but wood is too expensive to use in southern Europe, and besides, it brings in the other danger—fire. It looks as though those who insist on living where the earth shakes would have to adopt the American invention of steel skeleton construction, or go back to the old Greek plan, and build of stone with good-sized blocks, carefully rubbed joints and no mortar. Steel ties a building together in spite of earthquake shocks; the dry joint of the old Greeks permits a certain amount of yielding without damage to the structure. BIT OF HUMAN WRECKAGE Recrudescence of Former Comrade Inspires Pertinent Comment Concerning Fate. He came to us like a specter out of the crystal freshness of a perfect morning. His costume was comical, his hands and face facemared with coal dust. A burlesque audience would have promptly accorded him a laugh. He was panhandling clumsily. In his eyes was agony and on his lips unspeakable grief. Some of us had known him when he moved as other men, belonging to our world, sharing our traditions, our peculiar diversions, our affection for the work that is our own. His appearance brought a chill, a disturbing anxiety. Whom has destiny marked down for the next spectacular fall? we inquired, each of himself. He spoke a few words about "going to the source of things" "You learn much en route," he said. Diffidently we gave small coins to him as though it was our shame and not his that he should beg. No one moralized. To point out external reason is so easy and so silly. One goes up, another down—Kismet. The rush of work closed in over the memory of his visit. Yet the stored memory, a picture in strong colors, will come up at times and we will wonder where and how he is existing. He belongs out there, in the alleys, on the docks, in evil bars, and nothing can bring him back. Life, having twisted and battered him so cruelly, will not let go, but continues to drag him, helpless, through his private hell. --Detroit News. Irrigation In Italy. In Italy irrigation, which dates to the prehistoric days of the Erircusans, has been brought to the greatest perfection. Prof. Lutgi Luliggi, president of the Italian Society of Civil Engineers, said last week that without artificial watering the marvelous orange groves, the bountiful orchards and vegetable gardens, which give such valuable products for exportation to central Europe and North America, would yield but scant revenue to their owners. But especially the broad and luxurious meadows of the valley of the Po—which are intensely green all the year round, and give seven or eight crops of fodder a year—could not exist; barely one or two cuttings of grass could be raised, because the land during the five to seven months of the hot season remains generally without a drop of rain from the sky, while during the winter months many regions of Italy would be flooded by the torrential rains. Value or Cool Nights. Heat waves, says Edwin C. Martin, author of "Our Own Weather," prove disastrous directly in proportion as hot nights are combined with hot days. "For a number of days successively the heat may mount during the day to extraordinary heights, but if the intervening nights turn comparatively cool the number of prostrations and deaths will be much less than under a considerably lower temperature continuing with scant abatement through the day and night. Thus any situation that peculiarly favors cooling off a night has a clear advantage during the prevalence of a hot wave. It is also an advantage to be inured to heat. The same degree of, it that would cause great suffering to the people of the North imposes nothing more than discomfort on the people of the South. Suspended Animation. There are many different forms of suspended animation, some resulting from accident, like drowning or freezing, and some due to a regularly recurring process of nature, like the hibernation, or winter sleep, of many animals. Some animals during hibernation are smothered in close-packed mud at the bottom of ponds.

SHOW STRENGTH OF INSTINCT Two Incidents Which Would Seem to Prove That in Man It Is Stronger Than Reason. That even in man instinct is sometimes stronger than reason is illustrated by these two cases: There had been shipped on a Mississippi river steamboat a box with a glass cover containing a very active rattlesnake. Whenever anyone approached the box the serpent would strike the cover. The owner of the reptile challenged anyone to hold his finger on the glass and let the rattler strike at it. There was no danger and it seemed an easy thing to do. First one and then another tried it, but when the snake gave its vicious spring the finger was invariably drawn back with a jerk. Instinct was stronger than reason and will combined. A young man in Paris had lost his last son at the gambling table. Not only was he without means, but he had lost a large sum belonging to his employer. He started for the Seine with the intention of drowning himself. On the way there was a great commotion caused by the escape of a lion from a strolling menagerie. The animal came galloping down the street, and people fled in every direction. Instantly the man who was seeking death climbed a lamp post and clung to the top of it, trembling in every limb. When the animal was captured and the danger over he proceeded to the river and plunged in. Theodore B. Green, ATTORNEY AT LAW. 507 Superior Building. Phones: Office, Main 3076.

They probably will be thrown against the left wing of the allies in an effort to check the turning movement. ... The sixty-third day of the great European war saw a repetition of what the people of all the countries concerned have forced themselves to expect, perhaps for anthons to come—no decisive conflict on land or sea. From Berlin to London came nothing in the way of German claims to progress or reverses. Both Kaiser William and czar claim to have been victorious in battle at Augustowe. Both nations claim to have put the other armies to flight. Russians now within eighty miles of Budapest. --- Refugees from Belgium are pouring into Holland. They declare that Antwerp is about to fall. The steamers that arrived at Flushing were jammed with residents of Antwerp. The Dutch steamer Nieuwland, while on a voyage from Coole, England, to Rotterdam, struck a mine in the North sea and sank. Her crew of 17 men were saved. . . . The Russian general staff issued the following official statement at Petrograd: "the battle of Augustoow ended yesterday, October 3, in a victory for the Russian army. The German defeat is complete." * * * The French resumed the offensive and concentrated the pick of their fighting strength, supported by the heaviest guns of their artillery, at Arras, 25 miles from the Belgian border. The movement was met in force by the cream of the German defensive line, and a struggle of great magnitude is in progress. News has been received in London that the duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, about whom the kaiser was so solicitus when he was a prisoner in the hands of the Belgians, violated the rules in the French prison at Belle lale, to which he had been transferred, and became troublesome. He was then transferred to the prison at Port Louis, where a guard was placed over him. All doubts of Turkey's hostile intention against Russia ended following the closing of the Dardanelles and the departure of the cruisers Goeben and Breslau for the Black sea. Turkey also closed the Eosphorus with mines, torpedoes and chains. Turkey also began placing new heavy artillery in the Black sea forts of Kills, Rive and Karaburun. The Germans are desperately attacking Fort Vaelheim, the key to Flanders, and the magazine of the fort has blown up. Fort Vaelheim is one of the strongest forts of the outer chain surrounding Antwerp. Military governor of Antwerp notified populace that Germans are about to bombard Belgian capital and all those who wish to leave may do so. Belgians have announced they will defend city as long as a soldier is able to fire a gun. France will return seat of government to Paris in a few days is announcement from Bordeaux. The newly organized foreign legion now serving in the Servian army numbers 300 men of 14 nationalities. Paris Matin prints the following under a Progradrad date: "The official estimate of the German losses at Augustoow, Suwalki and Marjampol is 100,000. The Russian capture of Soldau is confirmed." Largest or Pensioner When Lord Harding, viceroy of India, was wounded by a bomb explosion on the occasion of his formal entry into Delhi last year, he owed his safety in a measure to the coolness of the elephant upon which he was mounted. The animal did not yield to the panic that took possession of almost all around him. After his recovery the viceroy went to visit Timahal and formally made him a pensioner of the state. The nearly pension amounts to about $500. Washington During a Democratic caucus of the senate at Washington an amendment to the war tax bill offered by Senator Williams of Mississippi increasing tax on beer was from $1.50 to $1.75 a barrel. Caucus also voted to put recitator's tax of five cents a gallon on spiritual Honors. . . . Ambassador Morgenthau, at Constantinople, has appealed to the state department at Washington for additional funds for the relief of Americans in the Ottoman empire. President Wilson sent to the senate at Washington the nomination of Burt Williams of Ashland, Wis., to be collector of interbal revenue for the Seco district of Wisconsin, and Lieut. Commander Rufus Z. Johnston, U. S. N., to be commander in the navy. A favorable report on the nomination of Richard W. Walker of Huntsville, Ala., to be judge of the United States court of appeals for the Fifth judicial circuit, was ordered by the senate committe at Washington. . . . Representative Levy of New York notified Secretary Bryan at Washington that he would sell Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, to the government for $500,000. "I feel that I am forced to yield to public sentiment in this matter," Levy said. "I will part with the property for $500,000, although I have spent over a million dollars in improvements upon it." Led by President Wilson at Washington the people of the United States devoted Sunday to supplication to God to put an end to the war which has convulsed the eastern and shaken the western hemisphere. Responding to the proclamation of the president, millions of men, women and children sent up their prayers toward the Almighty to instill a desire for peace into the hearts of the warring nations. Mexican War Gen. Manual Chao, formerly one of General Villa's best fighters, has abandoned Villa's cause and sworn allegiance to Venustiano Carranza, first chief of the constitutionalists, according to word received at El Paso, Tex., from Juarez. --- Following the announcement from Mexico City that Carranza's generals will not consent to his resignation as first chief of the constitutionalists, Gen. Francisco Villa resumed active preparations for a campaign against Mexico City. Carranza announced he would send 100,000 troops against Villa. The evacuation of Vera Cruz, originally scheduled for October 1, was delayed until October 11 at the earliest, and it is probable that the American troops will not leave the Mexican port for some time after that date, on account of the uncertainty of the situation in the interior. Foreign An earthquake has occurred at Smyrna, in Asia Minor. Its most destructive effect was a isbarta and Burdur, in Kiona province, center of the carpet industry. The loss of life was 3,000. A prolonged earthquake snock was felt throughout the Windward and Leeward islands. It was especially sovere at Antigua, Guadeloupe, Dominica, St. Lucia and St. Vincent. No details of the damage done have been received. Domestic Philip Keyes Walcott, Jr., a wealthy and prominent lawyer, leaped or fell from a window on the fourteenth floor of a building in New York. He was instantly killed. One of the worst riots in the history of Madison, Wis., was witnessed there when students arose en masse and gave battle to a crowd of town fellows who had spread terror and injured university students. Many members of the police force and scores of students were hurt. --- "Bib' Sawyer—he threw me out of his auto while he was speeding," said Nettie Wallace, a nineteen-year girl of Bradley, Ill. After her accusation she died. The police arrested S. L. Sawyer. He denies he is guilty of murder. He said she fell out of the car. Burglaries broke into the Sixth United Presbyterian church at Pittsburgh, dynamited the safe in the adjoining auditorium and made off with $350.50. The police believe the burglars were inspired by the hope of getting hold of Red Cross funds. The entire business section of Duke Center, Pa., was wiped out by a fire which started in the Duke hotel.

Whatever work the Hampton school needs to have done the students are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching and the common industries form vital parts in the training of Hampton institute boys and girls. Blacksmithing, bricklaying and plastering, carpentry and cabinetmaking, machine work painting, printing, shoemaking, steamfitting, plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering and wheelwrighting, are the trades which are offered by the Hampton Institute Trade school Products tell a striking story of the alms and methods of the Hampton courses. These products are expressed in negro and Indian mechanics who have gone out among their people and are now serving their communities as Christian and efficient builders for example. They are also expressed in well-built, attractive Hampton buildings and in serviceable accessories of the home and school. In the busy shops, on the scaffoldings of new structures, in odd nooks and corners of the Hampton grounds, negro and Indian carpenters, for example, have for many years been daily mastering the building art and have been preparing themselves for life's emergencies by learning how to make the best possible use of their resources time, tobs, skill and moral qualities. Today the construction of the Hampston institute buildings and the necessary repairs are being satisfactorily done by student tradesmen. Naturally a good share of this interesting work falls to the lot of the carpenters. A few years ago, when it became necessary to remodel the principal's home, one of the oldest buildings on the Hampton campus, negro and Indian tradesmen did the necessary tearing down and building up. These operations were no easy task. The bulk of the work had to be done in hot and trying weather. The boys labored with a will. They were happy to have an opportunity of doing well what professional builders considered a difficult piece of work. Later, when the school authorities decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school the student tradesmen again attacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and putting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesmen in the training. William Quinney, a colored man who has been living near here, passed through McNell en route to Shreveport accompanied by a portion of his interesting family of 20 children and his third wife. The children with him numbered seven, and they are all by his present wife. Quinney had seven children by his first wife, including two sets of twins; six by wife No. 2, and seven by the present one. All the wives are living and after divorcing his former helpmeets, Quinney on each occasion lived six years in single blessedness. With his record of three wives and 20 children Quinney is still only forty eight years old and expects to acquire quite a large family before he dies.—McNell (Ark). dispatch to the St. Louis Global-Democrat. The total negro population of the United States—latest figures—is 9,828,294, according to a pamphlet issued recently by the Illinois commission appointed by Governor Dunne to arrange a half-century anniversary of negro freedom. The negroes own $1,000,000,000 worth of property and worship in $65,000,000 worth of churches. Their land covers 31,000 square miles, or 20,000-000 acres. There are 1,119,653 negro female breadwinners, sixteen years of age and over. Of these, the largest number, 634,104, are domesticies, 434,041 are engaged in agricultural pursuits, 361,804 are agricultural laborers and 313,091 are servants and waitresses. The commission is planning an exposition of the progress made by the negroes of Illinois since their emancipation, which will begin August 1, 1915, and continue for 30 days in the Coliseum. More than 4,000,000 tons of ore a year are expected to be exported from iron mines in Algeria by French capitalists who have obtained concessions after more than ten years of effort. Figures relating to the output of coal in British India during 1912 have been published by the chief inspector of mines. They show a total output last year of 14,044,368 tons, which is near 2,000,000 tons in excess of the production recorded in the previous output. Every high school graduate in Nebraska receives a letter from the University of Nebraska congratulating him on his graduation and urging him to consider the advantages offered by the state university. The date crop in Mesopotamia for 1912 is reported as having been abundant and sold at good prices. It is estimated that the London market took about 550,000 cases and America 450,000. Asbestos deposits throughout a region approximately two by four miles in extent have been discovered in Natal. What a delightful world if the rose kept its odor as long as the moth ball does! Commenting on the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago a writer in the Standard says Their numbers help to suggest the important place which these Baptist churches hold in the life of this community. Let me supplement this by the words of a splendidly educated colored woman, Mrs. F. B. Williams, who says: "Despite the serious handicap of slowly decreasing debts, the colored church is the center of the social life and efforts of the people. What the church sanctions and supports is of the first importance, and what it fails to support and sanction is more than apt to fail. The colored churches historically, as to numbers and reach of influence and dominion, are the strongest factor in the community life of the colored people. Aside from the ordinary functions of preaching, prayer-meetings, and Sunday school, the church is regarded by the masses as a sort of tribune of all their social and civic interests. Thousands of colored people know and care for no other entertainment than that furnished by the church. What they fall to learn of the finer things of life in the church remains unlearned. These people, generally speaking, have few civilizing and elevating influences, except as they are supplied by this single institution." She concludes by saying: "Our churches could do more and be more to the ever-increasing number who need guidance, social ideals and higher moral standards, if they were less burdened with debts and an unyielding orthodoxy. The Chicago churches, however, are becoming more intelligently interested and earnest in their endeavor to meet the peculiar requirements of the city colored people." The 17 colored churches differ as widely as our own churches. Numerically, they range from a membership of 2,500 to one of 85. Financially, they vary from a debt-free larger church to the bankrupt and defunct mission church. Theologically, intellectually, socially, they differ. They are not made in a mold. They exhibit a bewildering and complex variety. They are really independent. Their churches are named after the great outstanding places of scriptural history—a fact which suggests their independence and variety—and not numerically according to historical precedence, as we have been accustomed to number our churches. And yet, in spite of the great differences between these churches, there are some common possibilities of advancement which occur to the friendly observer. The main building of the Wilson Tubercular Home and Hospital for Negroes, just completed at Wilson, N. C., is used as a center for training nurses and testing the ailments of patients. In addition to this main building there is a farm of 40 acres, half of it in pine wood, on which it is hoped that buildings may be erected for patients who are able to work while taking the treatment. Lucifer matches—that is, matches tipped with an explosive substance that bursts into flame, on being struck—were first used about 1834. Many improvements have been made in matches since then, the most important of which was the invention of the safety match, striking only on the box. The annual meeting of the National Nebro Business league was held this year in Muskogee, Okla. These meetings are always largely attended. The delegates include not a few colored men who by their industry, intelligence and thrift have attained a competency if they are not to be reckoned wealthy. They are successful farmers, physicians and lawyers and merchants and mechanics. Very largely they are from the Southern states. This year, as usual, Booker Washington was one of the speakers, and gave his accustomed counsel emphasizing the opportunities which are open for those who devote themselves to useful employments everywhere. There was an industrial parade which gave impressive proof of the progress and attainments of the colored people in agriculture, in stock raising, in artisanship, in schools, in churches and in homes. In spite of narrow prejudice and in many places unworthy hostility, the colored people are making progress that is worth while. When a man tells a young widow that he is not worthy of her he knows she knows he's lying. Experiments by the Japanese government of producing camphor by distilling the leaves and branches of camphor trees have reached a stage at which 317 gallons of distillate are produced from each 400 pounds of leaves. That man has a powerful clutch on his high speed lever who can refrain from starting anything he knows he can't finish. When a woman marries for spite she usually spites herself more than her husband. Although the state of New York exceeded all former records by producing more than 8,625,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas last year, it imported nearly as much more from Pennsylvania to supply its demand. Don't worry over a mistake that can be corrected; get busy and correct it. No, Cordelia, a smelting furnace is not an apparatus for cooking smelt. The successful man sticks to business with the glue of industry. WHALE DANCE OF ESKIMOS Peculiar Festivity That Gives the Young Men a Chance to Choose Their Wives. A very primitive custom of the natives of the Bering and Arctic coasts of Siberia, a custom that has come down from generations of savage ancestors, is the annual celebration of the whale dance, when the Eskimos select their wives. When the sun moves southward at the end of the short summer season, and the ice closes upon the northern seas, the whales come down to open water. Then in celebration of the season's catch the ice dwellers assemble for the whale dance, which lasts 21 days. The great dance circle is prepared, and in the center the dancers, both male and female, perform the most savage of evolutions and motions to the accompaniment of rhythmless beating of the tom-toms and weird chanting. The dance songs tell of the prowess of the hunters and of the history of the tribe. The movements of the women are surprisingly graceful, and they mean to show in their dance that, as daughters of a great people, they are possessed of all the qualities such women should have. The men execute pantomimic scenes of the hunt, and go through all the motions of the kill; they speak the ice bear, slay the walrus and seal, and finally, with extraordinary contortions, vanquish the mighty whale. During the last days of the feast, when the time arrives for the selection of husbands and wives, the man performs his mate dance before the woman he has picked out. In pantomime he promises to provide her generously with the fruit of the hunt, both food and fur. If she is pleased with him, she walks out and dances her acceptance and shows how she will look after the igloo. When they have danced before each other they are married after the custom of the tribe and he leads her off to his walrus hide lodge. During the dance they feast on whale. The skin of the baleen whale is about an inch thick and looks like rubber. The solid blubber between it and the true flesh is usually about 14 inches thick. The black skin and the blubber, the latter cut to the thickness of the former, is called moktuk and is considered a great delicacy. It is eaten raw, and although it sounds repulsive to the civilized ear, is most palatable. It has a flavor something like that of chestnuts.—Youth's Companion. Songs of British Soldiers Our French allies have been struck by the "grave alt" which our soldiers sing on march. Many of our regiments take a pride in their route singing and stick to certain songs—not all of them, however, "grave." The Manchester regiment has a fine musical reputation, their favorites being "Killlaoo" and "Brian Boru." The Yorkshire march to "Dan Tucker," which consists of little more than a series of diabolical shouts. The Somersets cherish country songs, particularly "To Be a Farmer's Boy," the Rifle Brigade sings the famous '95 ballad beginning, "Colonel Coote Manningham is a very good man," while the Grenadiers' favorite is "Coon Drum Major," and the fuseliers their own particular and heart-stirring "Fighting With the Seventh Royal Fuseliers."—London Chronicle. Promises to the Recruits A glance at the crowds at the recruiting office shows that there is no need for the imaginative drawing up of advertisements of enticement to the colors, says the London Chronicle. By way of contrast one is reminded of earlier methods. Look at this appeal for young men for the light dragoons, which appeared in the Times of September, 1801: "Your pay and privileges equal two guinea a week; you are everywhere respected; your society is courted; you are admired by the fair, which, together with the chance of getting switched to a buxom widow, or brushing with a rich heiless, renders the situation truly enviable and delightful." What young man could resist this! "Dead" Her Lays Eggs "Dead Hen Lays Eggs. "Oh, papa," excitedly shouted little Willie Lenardo, running into Louis Lenardo's place of business, "one of those chickens you killed last night has come to life and laid an egg." Much to Lenardo's surprise, one of the hens which he had stuck the night before and which he had left for dead was really alive and standing by its nest cackling. The hen had had a good-sized egg. Lenardo caught the chicken, examined it, and, sure, enough, it was the hen which he had attempted to bleed with a penknife.—Coatsville (Pa.) dispatch to Philadelphia Record. Monster Aqueduct The aqueduct conducting the waters of the Owens river to Los Angeles is said to be the largest in the world. It is designed to deliver a minimum of $25,000,000 gallons of water daily into the San Fernando reservoir, 25 miles northwest of the city. No pumping plant is required, as the source of supply is several hundred feet above the city. The water will furnish a great amount of power—70,000 horsepower is anticipated—for electric lighting and other purposes. The total cost of the waterworks will be $25,000,000, and the installation of the power plant will be approximately $5,000,000 more. Ocean Is Holland's Defense Holland's safety in time of war lies in her ability to flood great tracts of land. William of Orange flooded the country in 1574, and by so doing drove out the Spanish invaders. The same policy was adopted on the occasion of the French invasion of 1675. The movement of a lever at Amsterdam is sufficient to open every dyke and dam in Holland simultaneously, it is said, to put under water within the space of a few hours the whole country from Naarden on the Zuyder Zee, by Utrecht, to Geertruidenberg, at the mouth of the Meure. ON THE FUNNY SIDE COLORADO ECHO EXPLODED COLORADO ECHO EXPLODED Stage Driver Explaining Beauties of Rocky Mountains to Tourists Gets Startling Answer. Senator Charles S. Thomas of Colorado delights to tell this joke on his own beloved Rocky mountains: "We have the most wonderful scenery in the world out in Colorado," enthuses the senator, "and our canyons and gorges are marvels of nature's handiwork. As for our echoes—listen to this: "A guide was taking a party of tourists by coach through the mountains west of Denver. As they descended the side of a steep canyon he halted the coach and ordered his party to alight. Then, ranging them up along the roadside, he spoke: "In this canyon, ladies and gentlemen, is the most remarkable echo in the state; indeed, probably the most wonderful in the United States, and, possibly, in the world. Now, listen!" "Forming his hands like a megaphone, he shouted across the empty void of the canyon: "Hello-o-o-o-o!" "In a few seconds there came from the opposite side of the canyon in tones like a human voice the reply: "Hello-o-o-o-o!" "Wonderful! Marvelous!' exclaimed the members of the party, as a buzz of admiration ran through the ranked line. "Now, just listen to this,' said the guide, proud of his little show, and, again raising his hands to his mouth, he shouted: "What are y' doing over there?" "And from the tangled thicket that clothed the opposite wall the echo an swerved: "None o' your business!'" — Wash inston Star. Moment of Excitement. "What do you mean by putting your head out of the window and calling the police?" asked the agitated officer. "There's nothing the matter and you're blocking the street."

"My boy Josh has been talkin' to me about scientific farmin'," said Mr. Corntossel. "He seems to have interested you." "Yes. What I'd like to find out now is how a man that knows as little about farmin' as I do ever managed to make the place pay." Her Advantages "Yes, she's the best swimmer in our set." "That seems a useful accomplishment." "No, it isn't. Every summer it takes at least a dozen young men to teach her the simplest rudiments."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Sure Cure.

I'm studying French, German, Russian, Italian, Greek, Scandinivian and a few local dialects." An Economival Wife. "Is your wife so very economical, then?" "Oh, yes, very. Why, my wife can take an old worn-out hat, spend $15 on it, and make it look almost as good as new."-Puck DEFINITION OF GENTLE HINT Uncle Cal Told Unwelcome Visitor to the Cemetery Away From Rescue George W. Perkins said in Chicago, apropos of the "gentle hints" that the government has given to big business: "These gentle hints, these loving hints, remind me of old Ucale Calhoun Clay. "Ucale Cal's daughter, Lil, had a sweeet heart, one Washington White, and Washington had the habit of beginning his evening calls very early—at supper time, in fact. Ucale Cal was the soul of hospitality, but, not being a rich man, he found it difficult to feed Wash five or six times a week, and he told his wife and daughter he have to give the young man a hint, just a gentle hint, about how the land lay. "So the next time young Washington White turned up for supper, old Ucale Cal from the head of the table first asked the blessing; and then looked at the unwelcome guest over his glasses and said: "Look-a-heeh, Misto Wash. Ah has too wuk mighty hard 'fo' ter make a livin' fo' dish-yesh 'famby, and Ah 'specks' yo' better quit comin' round so often. De fact is, yo' eat too much!" Minneapolis Journal.

The Last Straw "My candidate for the nerviest man contest," observed Bennie Beanbrough, "is none other than old man Umson." "What's Umson being?" inquired Bennie's father. "He came over here last evening and borrowed my tennis racket—" "That's not so bad—" "And when I went after it, half an hour later, I found him using it for a carpet bearer."—Judge. Hard Luck "He always was more lucky than I was. He had his plans all made for a trip around the world when the European war broke out." "I don't see where you call that lucky?" "Course it's lucky. If I'd known the war was going to be pulled off I could have planned an all-the-world trip, also." Expanding an Excuse. "My grandmother's funeral—" began the office boy. "Yes, yes," replied the good-natured man. "But is there any excuse for your mistaking the ball park for, a cemetery?" "No. But she put it in her will that I was to forfeit my inheritance if I ever missed a chance to root for the home team." The Country Church. The Deacon—Aren't you going away for a vacation, parson? The Parson—No. "But you believe in days of rest, parson?" "Oh, yes, but I don't need any rest." "Perhaps not, parson, but perhaps the congregation does."

"I forgot it." "I'm so glad! I have changed my mind about sending it." "Looks like a sleepy village you have here." "Oh, I don't know. This burg is not so slow. We were the sixth town in the country to have a 'poison needle' mystery." No Model. "What kind of a model is your new automobile?" "It isn't any kind of a model," replied Mr. Chuggins, gloomily.
