THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 39. IN UNION UNION FORCING CARRANZA TO DECLARE WAR Reported Obregon Faction Has Taken Complete Charge of Affairs. CARRANZA BUT AFIGUREHEAD Peons Are Told They Will Find an Ally in Either Japan or Germany... if They Go to War; Would Stop Troop Movement. El Paso, Tex.-The Obregon faction in the de facto government of Mexico is making a desperate effort to force First Chief Carranza to declare war against the United States immediately: This information was received here in a message from Chihuahua. The "war party" of the Carranza government is said to have taken complete charge of the conduct of affairs and Carranza has become no more than a figurehead. The Mexican people are being told that if they go to war with the United States they will find an ally either in Japan or Germany and will be able to avoid annexation. The manifestos assert that this initiative step is necessary to frustrate a plan on the part of the United States government to seize and retain possession of the country. The censorship is on at Columbus with a vengeance. The troops ordered to the base by Funston have begun to arrive, but no information concerning the disposition that will be made of them is permitted to go out. Washington, D. C.-The state department has a dispatch from Consul Letcher at Chihuahua indicating that Carranza has taken steps to prevent by force any further movement southward of American troops in Mexico. This information, it became known, is back of the sending of Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, to the Mexican border. Though Gen. Scott is ordered simply to San Antonio for a conference with Gen. Funston, it is believed he goes with what might be called diplomatic powers, and that as soon as he has conferred with Gen. Funston he will endeavor to ascertain the exact attitude of Carranza toward the American punitive expedition. The report from Consul Letcher stated that nearly all the Carranza troops have been sent out of Chihuahua to the south. This was interpreted to mean that the Carranza government purposes to place a large body of Mexican soldiers directly in front of Gen. Pershing's troops. The reason given for this troop movement is Carranza's desire to assist in the capture of Villa. If Gen. Scott cannot get from the governor of Chihuahua and other Mexican officials guarantees of safety for American troops he is expected to report that fact to Secretary Baker so the secretary may lay the case before President Wilson. It is understood that Gen. Scott will advise that Gen. Pershing be instructed to go south as far as he deems advisable. GERMANSRENEWATTACK ARTILLERY ACTIVE NORTH OF VERDUN; RUSSIANS PUR-SUE THE TURKS. London, England. — The Germans have renewed their bombardment along the whole of the front north of Verdun. The official statement from Paris reports a furious cannonading of the big guns in the Douaumont-Vaux sector, while on the opposite bank of the Meuse, the Germans are apparently preparing for another attack along the Mort Homme-Cumeres front. The only infantry action of the day was southeast of Verdun, where the Germans, striking on an entirely new sector, launched three successive attacks against the French positions at Lese Eparges. The assaults, all of which failed of their object, apparently mark the beginning of a movement to widen the salient south of the fortress which has its apex at St. Mihiel. Petrograd, Russia. — The Russian pursuit of the Turks continues without a minute's respite. Blow after blow is being delivered against the Turks, who are being dislodged from every front where they had hoped to consolidate a position. Girl Dice Man Held Chicago, Ill.—Catherine Kister, aged 22, Arlington, O., student nurse who battled for a week against death from cyanide of potassium poison, is dead. William Callahan, a stock broker, is held in connection with her suicide. Thaws Are Divorced. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Harry K. Thaw has been granted a divorce from Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. Bachelors Are Big Sinners. New York City.—Unmarried men as lawbreakers outnumber the married men two to one in the annual report of the district attorney of New York county. The proportion of men arraigned as criminals in the last 10 years is even more to the disadvantage of the bachelors, as 22.331 of them were accused, while only 9.492 married men were charged with crimes. More crime was committed by persons between the ages of 21 and 30 years than by those of any other age. THE GAZETTE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE ADDS NEW DEPARTMENT Thrifty Race Organization Opens Workers' Bureau at Nashville, Tenn. After several years of experience the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been convinced of the need of some general agency for helping graduates of Negro institutions to find occupations in fields suited to their ability and training. In trying to work out some plan to help in this particular the league has decided to open a worker's vocational bureau. In announcing the opening of the bureau Dr. George E. Hagen, one of the executive.secretaries of the league, states: "This bureau will try to get in touch with various fields of work that are seeking trained people and connect up with the graduates of the schools who show evidence of efficiency and character. It will be the aim of the bureau to bring those offering the positions and those seeking the positions together. Whenever the bureau has sufficient first hand information to recommend a candidate it will do so, but its general policy will be to furnish the employer with the school record and recommendations of those who know the candidate, leaving the final opinion as to the candidate's qualifications to those who wish to employ him. "The league wishes to make clear that the 'workers' vocational bureau does not intend in any way to interfere with the present or future work of any institution in placing its own graduates in positions. The aim is merely to supplement the efforts of individuals and institutions. To this end, we welcome any suggestions and criticisms at any time, and for this work the bureau earnestly solicits the co-operation of every one. "This bureau is located at Nashville, Tenn., southern headquarters of the league, in order to be in closer touch with the larger number of Negro institutions located in the south. "The bureau offers its services to schools, colleges, business firms and other organizations desiring the services of trained men and women. Correspondence is invited, and a policy of frank, honest, straightforward dealing will be scrupulously followed. The bureau was formally opened for service about April I. No charge is made for the services of this bureau. Correspondence is invited. Address communications to George E. Haynes, Southern Headquarters, National Lengue on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, Nashville, Tenn." Besides the bureau, the league seeks to show social welfare agencies the advantage of cooperation, to secure and train social workers, to fit workers to work and for work, to help secure playgrounds and other clean places for amusement, to promote probation oversight of delinquents and to investigate conditions of city life as a basis of practical work. The following well known persons are among the members of the executive board and officers: L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman; Kelly Miller, vice chairman; R. R. Moton, vice chairman; W. H. Baldwin 3d, secretary; A. S. Frissell, treasurer; Felix Adler, Roger N. Baldwin, James H. Dillard, Paul D. Cravath and Professor Edwin R. A. Seligman; executive secretaries, George E. Haynes and Eugene Knickle Jones. LIGHTFOOT FOR DELEGATE. Colored Republicans of Atlantic City, M. L. Demand, Party Recognition. N. J. Demand Party Recognition. In speaking of the political situation at Atlantic City, N. J., the Public Ledger in a recent issue says: A committee professing to act for the 8,300 Negro Republican voters of Atlantic City has made formal demands upon Republican district leaders for the selection of James A. Lightfoot; a Negro attorney, as a delegate to the Republican national convention. The declaration says: "There are 12,000 Negroes in Atlantic City who pay taxes upon more than $1,000,000 of property and $500,000 a year for rent, besides spending $1,500,000 for food. W. wish to call the attention of white republicans to the fact that there is an elective position, except magistrate, constable and freeholder, to which Negro candidate has been elected. The statement lays stress also upon the fact that Negro voters have the balance of power in the Second congressional district and virtually threatens that the Negro vote will be diverted from regular candidates in the commission election in May unless lightfoot is made a delegate at the national convention primary. Physical Training Work at Hampton. The physical directors at Hampton institute—Miss Frances E. Weston and Charles H. Williams—recently conduct a gymnasium exhibition, which was as artistic and picturesque as it was creditable from the viewpoint of physical training, that makes sound, strong men and women. R. Nathaniel Quett, director of vocal music at the institute, served as pianist. New Lodge of Odd Fellows Instituted. Valley lodge, No. 9005, Grand Unified Order of Odd Fellows at Monessen, Pa., is the youngest lodge of the order in Pennsylvania. It was organized the last week in February and has a membership of fifty-three. Officials from four lodges of the order assisted in setting apart the new institution. Grand Master Isaac Bursh of Washington was also present and took an active part in the ceremonies. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE.

DOUGLASS LEAGUE ENTERS PROTEST New York Organization Does Not Favor Reduction of Southern Representation In Convention of National Body—Alloged Charge Against Colored Delegates Not Sustained. BY JOHN E. BRUCE "GRIT." New York.—The Douglass league, with headquarters in New York city, is sending outcirculars and petitions for signatures to be presented to the National Republican convention at Chicago in June. The league is protesting against the action of the law committee of the national Republican committee in reducing southern representation in nigratal Republican conventions of the present and future. 'This action is being taken because of the manifest injustice of party managers in depriving Negro voters who are citizens and taxpayers of a voice in party councils and because the national committee' in thus eliminating the Negro appears to be playing into the hands of a group of white men in the south, calling themselves Lily White Republicans, who have persistently advocated the throwing overboard of Negro republicans in that section because of their growing numbers and possible danger to the political hopes and aspirations of white men in that section who can no longer mold them to their purposes. The law committee and the national Republican committee, as the official mouthpiece of the Republican party, alleges as a reason for the deletion of the Negro from party councils that Negro delegates are purchasable; that they have no influence and cannot deliver any votes; that these southern Negro delegates are an ignorant type of the race, etc. These, to me, do not seem to be valid reasons for depriving the electorate, which is the judge of the qualifications of its representatives, of the right to a voice and a vote quadrenuously as to whom they want for president. On the score of general intelligence the Negro delegates from the south in previous national conventions have not suffered by comparison with the white men from the south in political men and in mental equipment. I have known many men of both races from the south who were delegates to national conventions, and I think the dumbest white Republican ever met was one who represented a district in South Carolina in the Republican convention of 1858. I traveled with members from the District of Columbia in that year and saw much of the white men in the party during the run from Washington to the convention city. Edmund Deans of South Carolina was a delegate, and he is a colored man. He could make rings 'all around his white coifers in the delegation because of his practical knowledge of the political game. Robert Small was also a delegate. He was not an educated man in the broad sense, but he died in office, and a black man who could obtain and hold an office in the south for more than forty years and get himself elected to every national convention of his party is not only a good politician, but a genius, and General Small, whom I knew very well, was certainly a genius in his way. I could name dozens of these old timers like Jim Hill of Mississippi, Jim Lewis of New Orleans, N. Wright Cuney of Texas, R. Henn Burch of Louisiana, Perry Carson of the District of Columbia, Judge Gibb of Arkansas, and scores of other notable Negroes, who in their day were good, enough Morgans for the national Republican committees that wrote party platforms and made presidents. The Negroes of the south have not retrograded politically nor intellectually. As a matter of fact they knew too much of the political game for the crafty white men in that section, who would reorganize the Republican party on a white basis and reduce the Negro to the condition of a political non-entity. This is the purpose of the scheme to reduce southern representation in the national committee. The southern Negro is a man, the southern white is also a man. They differ in no essential as voters where opportunities are equal, for one man's vote counts one and no more. Then, too, the Negro is reducing his litteracy in the south, and his ambition rises in corresponding ratio. He wants to be somebody politically and socially. He is somebody industrially and financially, as a glance at the last census will show. He is a taxpayer. The constitution tells him he is a man and a citizen of the United States. He believes what the constitution says, and he demands the enforcement of its provisions guaranteeing to him the innitable rights of citizenship, among which is the right to a voice in the selection of those chosen to rule over him. I very much question whether the law committee of the national committee can justify in a court of law action in abolishing the rights of the Negro rufarians of the south by demanding them full rights to a convention where delegates are chosen. BETTER HEALTH CAMPAIGN. Many Organizations Support Move The Court of the Public ment. For Good of the Public. New York. From Sunday, May 7 to Sunday, May 14, will be health work for the colored people of Greater New York a whirlwind health campaign, the result of through plans adopted at a meeting held at the office of the National Urban League in March of several prominent organizations, through the whole month of April, and until the campaign ends every man, woman and child is requested to think health, write health and talk health. The advantages and methods of preventing sickness, the necessary precaution in infectious and communicable diseases and the advantages of careful treatment by a practicing physician rather than resorting to patient medicines and quacks, are subjects that are of interest to every true citizen. Everybody will have a chance to hear of approved health regulations. The committee has arranged to conduct test or twelve large public meetings in the various sections of this city. Talks to men and women are arranged for special gatherings. Clubs and small meetings may obtain one or two lectures on application. The committee is working with the board of health, the Charity Organization society, the Russell Sage foundation, the committee of one hundred on national health, the American Social Hygiene association, a prominent life insurance company, the tenement house department, the tenement house committee and the physicians of our race here, in order that speakers may be obtained to fill as many appointments as the people may request. A list of the meetings, with programs for each, will be made public as rapidly as the dates and the speakers are secured. The Urban league office, 2263 Seventh avenue, is the headquarters for the campaign, and applications for lecturers should be made to this organization p. UNION UNIVERSITY WINS INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE Team From Noted Southern School Defeats Lincoln at New York. New York.-The intercollegiate debate between Lincoln and the Virginia Union university teams recently held at the Mount Olive Baptist church in this city, the Rev. Dr. W. P. Hayes pastor, brought together a large number of graduates and former students of the two institutions. There was also a large number of teachers and students of the high and public schools of Greater New York and vicinity. Other than the arrangements made by the two institutions, the debate was finally supported in local arrangements by the Northern chapter of the Virginia Union University Alumni association, whose officials are Dr. William P. Hayes, president; N. B. Dodson, secretary; and Dr. William M. Moss, treasurer. The question discussed was, "Resolved, That the Military and Naval Forces of the United States Should Be Promptly Enlarged and Strengthened." The alternative was represented by Messrs. Wood and Burton of Lincoln and the negative by Virginia D. Johnson and Eugene K. Smith of Upton. The contestants on each side made strong arguments, backed by many facts and much historical data. It was agreed that the question was to be decided upon the points made by the speakers, platform appearance and the logical manner of their argument rather than the merits of the question as stated. The decision was given to Upton. The judges were the Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Editor George W. Harris and Attorney Philip A. Thorne. JONES ON SOUTHERN TOUR. Executive Secretary of National Urban League Investigates Social Conditions. New York - Eugene K. Jones, executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, left this city the first week in April for a three weeks' trip south. In Atlanta, Savannah and Augusta, Ga., Mr. Jones will advise, with the heads of the organizations affiliated with the league. He hopes to inaugurate several of the undertakings which the local organization in this city have so successfully conducted during the past year. Mr. Jones will also visit Jacksonville, Fln. For the purpose of looking into the welfare work that is being done in Jacksonville, he will make an investigation of industrial and recreation advantages for colored people, inquire into matters of juvenile and adult delinquency and inspect the housing and sanitary regulations observed in districts among our people. If the field is favorable for an organization like the Urban league, plans will be entered into for forming a temporary organization. Secretary Jones stepped in Washington upon the invitation of several prominent citizens for conference on matters pertaining to uplift work among our people generally. Mme. Motin to Make Northern Tour. Mme. Frances E. Motin, president of the Motin School of Expression, St. Louis, has recently refrained to her home from a business trip to New Oklahoma. Mme. Motin is well known throughout the west as one of the most gifted and charming electrofans of the colonial era. She will tour the north, Louisiana, and Philadelphia in May during the school's annual conference of the A.M. E. E. E. J. B. VOTE FOR MATT. GLASER, A Republican of the "Old School"---A Life- Long Friend of the Race---Senator Foraker's Loyal Aid DO NOT VOTE FOR WILLIS! Our Ministers, Whose Righteous Protests Were Ignored, Ask Our Voters to Be Men and Resent His Shameful Mis-treatment of the Race Editor Gazette. Dear Sir—Some this country which position he held until in 1915, Gov. Frank B. Willis tl January 1 when his reclamation arrived to the appointment of a local caused a vacancy in the off-inpcting Negro as a deputy oil inspector for jobs. We herewith present to our readers a splendid portrait of "big-hearted wholesomen" Matt Glaser, editor of "The Cinemaat Republic," who counts his friends and The Gazette is, among them) and acquaintances throughout Ohio, particularly, by the thousands. A lifelong, active Republican always a sterling friend of the race, a loyal supporter of, campaign manager for, and believer in our great and good friend Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, Mr. Glaser is a candidate for delegate-large to the Republican National convention to meet in Chicago in June. We are asking our readers, voters, to cast a ballot for him and to all others to do so they can when they go to the polls to vote on Tuesday, April 25, because our people are good friends of this country can DEPEND upon him, and we are going to help friends in that August body if for no other reason that they are trying to bar from it. Gov. Frank B. Willis has deserved his Afro-American constituents of Ohio, broken his promises to us and grossly insulted us. This all now know, Cross his Glaser, and thus show him that you not only know when you have been mistreated beyond all bonds of political or any other reason, but also that you are MEN who will no longer quietly submit to misstreatment, and that you will resent it just like any other self and race-respecting and many-class of voters within the ranks of the Republican party. This is an opportunity that we cannot afford to miss and The Gazette does not believe and politically slavish enough to fail to take advantage of it. VOTE FOR GLASER! In a communication to the editor of The Gazette, Editor Glaser says: "There seems to be only one thing the matter with me in the eyes of the Governor, and that is, I am opposing Frank B. Willis as a candidate for delegate-at-large. Any other man who opposed him would be attacked in a like manner I am sure. I do not question that Governor Willis is a, Republican, but he is not the right kind of a Republican to represent the people of Ohio. He has no other view in mind except to elevate himself into power and mastery of the Republican party, and if there is a kind of Republicanism to be questioned, I think it is the brand of the party that I am not a part of of the party and not himself. He has no right to secrete himself behind closed doors and name himself and three others, to represent the Republican party. And if that is the reason (my candidacy) he gives against my being a Republican then I must confess that I am not that kind of a Republican, nor do I care to be a Re- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS publican, of the Willis brand. I like the Foraker kind of Republicanism—square, true blue, honesty with a word of honor. I am sure that I can point out to Willis that I have as much, if not more right, to be called a true-bellied Republican than he has. I do not think I have to shout it from the house-tops, if not more right, to be called a true-bellied Republican than he has never had reason to believe a Republican nor do they now. But in the Governor's eyes it is a crime to oppose him. But I am proud of the fact that I am opposing him—not the man—as I have nothing against Mr. Willis; but I am against his high-minded methods of bossism; bossism is not Republicanism, and I hope the votes of Ohio will assist me so that opposition, however, may fail the rank and file of the Republican party, for them to go to the polls Tuesday, April 25th, and sustain my contention and thus register a protest against bossism by voting for me. I further declare that I have the supreme confidence that the men in the ranks will help me to put a stop to the stairchamber proceedings of such an American president, and that was made possible by Governor Willis and his clique. Break the slate and thus stamp out Willisism, which means bossism. Before going to 'Cincinnati Mr. Glaser lived many years in New York. For seven consecutive years, he was publicity manager of the various political campaigns of Senator Platt, one of the biggest men this country ever questioned his Republicanism and not one in Ohio, except the "Beloved Young Governor" (Willis), has ever questioned it. And there was a time when the Governor thought the policies of Matt Glaser was the ideal pattern from which to copy. But now, since Mr. Glaser is opposed to the policies of Willis, the "Beloved Young Governor" is countered by the brand of Republicanism by Mr. Glaser and others. After moving to Cincinnati, Mr. Glaser became prominently identified with the Republican party both in the county and state. He was publicity manager of the campaign of Senator Foraker, whose Republicanism can not be doubted even by his worst enemies. Yet the Governor decided Republicanism of Matt Glaser, Mr. Glaser is the "Cincinnati Republican," a paper that has stood the test of Republicanism before the nation heard of Frank B. Willis. Mr. Glaser has been a leader among some of the strongest Republican organizations in the state. He has been a member of the famous Blaine club of Cincinnati for years, and has been a doubtful Republican of that club. With many other organizations Mr. Glaser has been connected, and in them all he has always been a leading Republican, VOTE FOR GLASER! THE WISH FOR THE DREAM Meanwhile, two or three aspirants applied for it, among the number being a local saloon-keeper who operated on the main thoroughfare of our people, where our church-goers must pass to and fro to their churches, being embarrassed by hangers-out and others passing in and out. In spite of our vigorous protests (for nearly two months) to Gov. Willis, as ministers of the gospel (representing several thousand Colored church communicants), against the appointment of a saloon-man, recommended largely by the saloon element, the Governor (appointed) to appoint the man we endorsed, one whom we thought the best to represent the race in an official capacity. We, as ministers, sent letters, telegrams and night-tellers (telegrams) to Gov. Willis in protest against the appointment of the saloonman and endorsing the other aspirant. The Governor, however, has deliberately and outrageously ignored our protests and endorsements by giving the position to that element which would harm and causing-more retrogression of the flower of our young manhood in this city that the actual physical slavery of our parents before the "sixties." We, the ministers and churches, stand for race elevation, a virgin manhood, worthy citizenship and factors in every community, and for a better manhood and life. The Governor's action in this matter is in direct opposition to all these—and HURTS! What are we to do when these contemptible indignities are continually heaped upon us—appointing saloon-men to state and municipal—join a reward of the deceased—legitimate republicans of this community, thus saying to the people, white and Colored; that SUCH men are the REPRESENTATIVES of the Negroes? We must, and will organize and work to defeat any candidate for office, be he democrat or republican, who will so insult us, and Gov. Willis will be made to feel this, politically, if he is a candidate for office in November. Signed, (Rev.) H. C. Bailey Pastor, Antioch Bath Church President, Cleveland Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Columbus, O., March 17, 1916. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I have read Dr. H. C. Bailey's splendid article in The Gazette concerning the outrage committed by Gov. Frank B. Willis, in appointing a saloon-man to office despite the vigorous protests of Cleveland's leading ministers and the gospel and praise of the people to register my hearty approval of the same. I have known Dr. Bailey all of my life and have always found him a true type of manhood, standing firmly for the cause of justice and the rights of our people: Shakespeare said in his "Julius Caesar," "The evil men do, lives after them. The good is often intertwined with their bones." But thanks be to God we have some good men who are being thought of and recognized while they are living, receiving flowers before the Master bids them to lay aside life's weary toil. It is high time that our race awaken to these facts. The Republican party has always thought that they could carry the Negro vote regardless of whatever outrages they might commit, because they feel that they bear first honors in the emancipation of the Negro race. But God accomplished that task and his servant, Abraham Lincoln, has passed to the great beyond. Furthermore, if we ever owed the party any debt of gratitude or anything else for any part it may have the ten or more years that followed it. God knows, in faint, united support and vote for nearly a half century we have paid that debt and, too, with compound interest. It is now, and has been for many years, high time for the party to be considering the tremendous debt it owes the Negro for his long-time united support and to be paying something far more than it has in late years on that debt. I believe that I voice the sentiments of my good people everywhere when I say that the man and only the man had staked his trust in the coveness and justice, he be-democrat or Republican will be supported by the intelligent Negro ballot. We must punish Gov. Willis as a matter of self respect as well as face-respect. $^9$ it is our clear DUTY! Willis is not the party. I am a Republican. Yours resp. (Rev.) Carl W. Haskell. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION," The Infamous Photoplay Being Shown at the Nation's Capital—A Cleveland in Washington Appreciates Our Work in Ohio Against the Vicious Film. Washington, D. C., April 15, 1916. My Dear Friend and Editor:—In view of the distinctive and effective influence The Cleveland Gazette and its editor exerted in causing the elimination of the presentation of that infamous and race-hatred breeding photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," from public moving-picture houses in Ohio, I am writing to inform you, if perhaps you have not already been no informed, that the book has been scheduled to appear in Washington, the capital city, and will run, as advertised, indefinitely, beginning April 17. This play will be produced despite the protestations of the representative men of 100,000 Negroes in this city and despite the numerous petitions placed before the District Board of Commissioners. Attempts on the part of various local organizations to gain the attention of the Board have yet futile. The Commissioners have rested the matter in saying that no power lay within this body to prohibit the production of said photoplay. It should give every Afro-American in Ohio pleasure and pride to have men of your caliber and kind mourn us, and to speak of them in glowing terms and with praises unstinted. God grant that you shall ever stand out fearless to speak in charion notes in the interest of an appressed people both in nation, in the state of Ohio and Cleveland city.

Afro-Americans in the 11th. ward should vote for J. Walter Wills for delegate to the state convention. Too much Tom Fleming and Maschke, is more than enough. Show your race pride and respect by voting for Wills. Democratic editors have been considerably embarrassed by frequent challenges to print a list of important public questions upon which Woodrow Wilson has not changed his mind since he became President. Not one of them has printed a list. The government has ordered the N. Y. Collector of Customs to seize the Johnson-Willard fight-fiasco films. This is as we predicted in our last issue. If these films were exhibited, those of the Johnson-Jeffries fight would also be shown and, of course, "that would never do." That Oklahoma "white" man who married Loretta Wells, a young girl of the race worth $60,000, was willing to practice "social equality" and miscegregation, too, to get it even if he did have to go away over to Kansas to do so. Wonder if they will live in Oklahoma? The St. Louis judge is wrong; The "Negro" wants EVERYTHING that every other race needs and enjoys that is good and helpful in their effort to progress. Whether it be the mythical American "social equality" or something else makes no difference. With this exception we appreciate his stand and recent decision in our favor on the St. Louis segregation case. Vote for Editor Matt N. Glaser, a life-long Republican and friend of the race. He is one of Senator Foraker's best political friends. Put a cross in front of his name—for delegate-at-large to the Republican National convention—when you go to the polls to vote on Tuesday. Senator Harding and J. J. Sullivan, Esq., are all right as candidates. Col. Proctor we do not know. DO NOT vote for Willis. "The President waited for some one of the contending factions (in Mexico) to establish itself in control of the country, with power to protect lives and property, not only of its citizens but of the foreigners within its territory." Platform declaration in Democratic state convention of Maine. And while he waited, hundreds of American lives were taken, and many American women were outraged. Since his recognition of Carranza there has been neither law nor order in Mexico, the murder of Americans has continued, and the property of the Catholic Church is being confiscated. When Democratic spellbinders go out on the stump next summer and fall, it will be interesting to listen to what they have to say when some farmer gets up and calls their attention to the fact that during the 10 months the Underwood tariff law was in effect prior to the European war, foreign countries shipped into the United States more than $40,000,000 worth of meat and dairy products as compared with a little more than $12,000,000 in a corresponding period under the Republican tariff act. The fact is that these imports cut the price of the American producer, or the goods could not have been sold in the American market. What will prove pleasing news to our people of this community is the fact that Antioch Baptist church has refused to accept Rev. H. C. Bailey's resignation or to release him as pastor, and that the church has voted him a five months' vacation on half pay, $50 a month. While it has not as yet been decided, we trust that Dr. Bailey will accept this proposition, not only for "the good and welfare" of Antioch Baptist church but also for the benefit of our people of this community. He is a fearless, outspoken and positive force for good that we need here in Cleveland. Would that we had more of his kind throughout Ohio and the country. WILLIS FACING A CRISIS. Every indication points to a very heavy vote in the primary of Tuesday, April 25th, not only in Cuyahoga county and several others where bond issues will be voted on, but throughout the entire state. This indication is based upon reports from every part of Ohio. It is based upon newspapers that are friendly and antagonistic to the candidacy of Gov. Frank B. Willis as a delegate-at-large. And the consensus of opinion is that the heavier the vote the greater will be the defeat of Willisism. Interest is more manifest in the present primary than has ever been known to exist, which is another indication of the unpopularity of Willis. He has antagonized capital and labor, both leaders and the rank and file of the Republican party. No man can expect a victory with such forces against him, and while Willis' benchmen are making every endeavor to bolster up a lost cause, Willis himself knows that he is facing the crisis of his career. The April primary will convince him that he is no longer wanted as a banner-bearer of the Republican party in Ohio. If he has the interest of his party and friends at heart, he will retire quietly from public life. The sooner he does this, the better it will be for him. PLANNING A PARTISAN TARiff COMMISSION. There is a joker in the tariff commission bill approved by President Wilson, and known as the Rainey bill. Section 11 reads as follows: "There is hereby permanently appropriated, for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the establishment and maintenance of the commission, including the payment of salaries herein authorized out of any money in the Treasury of the United States not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $300,000 for each and every fiscal year after the passage of this act." This is intended to make available a permanent appropriation to keep up a commission which will be appointed by President Wilson, who is a fretrader, and who, judging from his past commission appointments, is decided averse to making non-partisan appointments. When Mr. Rainey wrote Section 11 he must have had in mind the action of his own party in destroying the tariff board appointed by President Taft by refusing to make an appropriation for the board for the fiscal year 1913. It is considerably more difficult to repeal a section of a statute than it is to refuse to appropriate money for maintaining a bureau. If the Rainey bill shall be passed, there will be six members of this commission, instead of five, as at first proposed, and their terms of office will be two, four, six, eight, ten and twelve years. It is said that the President has in contemplation, should the bill become a law, the appointment of three Democrats to the eight, ten, and twelve-year terms, and three Republicans for the short terms. The bill provides that any member may be removed by the President for inefficiency or neglect of duty. The Republican appointee who would balk at Mr. Wilson's instructions would be promptly declared guilty of both, and a more tractable Republican put in his place, Mr. Wilson is hugging the vain delusion that he will be re-elected, and he purposes to stave off any revision of the tariff looking to increased rates by the taxation legislation referred to the tariff commission which he dominates. By the time the commission has passed on it the necessity for it will no longer exist, for the industries sought to be protected will have gone into bankruptcy. The undertaker, not the doctor, will be on the job. Fortunately, the country rests secure in the confidence that Woodrow Wilson's next seat will be at Shadow Lawn, and his next revision will be that of his "History of the American People." WHITE STRIKERS FIGHT Afro-American Employees of the N. Y Central Airlines Aids, But Are Driven Off New York City—Since two weeks ago last Monday more than five hundred and sixty Colored men have been given permanent positions as baggage handlers, car cleaners and elevator men in the mammoth New York Central station and yards. At that time white union employees filling these positions suddenly walked out, leaving the hole. Night Station Master Hutchinson had nothing other to do than press the hundreds of Colored red caps into the service, and they saved the situation for the moment. He then called A. C. Booker, the Colored supervisor of the station's cleaners, into conference, and together they decided so well had the red caps worked to supplant the white strikers with colored men. Together they went to Harlem and the Hutchinson Hundreds have since been employed, and on Mr. Hutchinson's recommendation to the officials they have been given their positions permanently. Despite threats and the surly mood of the scores of pickets of the strikers all went smoothly until last week Tuesday noon in the Bronx yard, when it is reported a free for all fight was started in the Bronx yards between the Colored workers and the strikers. One of the workers, blackacks of the white bullies, but reinforced, the Colored men stood their ground and put the pickets to rout. "Red caps" are Afro-American employees in the station—porters, etc. MARRIED A WHITE MAN. Wellington, Kan.-J. H. Williams (white), age 39, of Enid, Okla.

World correspondent with the American army in Mexico, wrote, as follows, last week: The Tenth cavalry is composed of Negro troops, and the battle on April 1 was the first time Negro soldiers had ever fought against Mexicans. The Negro is held in high respect in the army, for he is known as an able fighter and keeps well disciplined. Just a few days before Col. Brown's fight I heard Gen. Pershing discussing the Negro soldiers. "They are among the greatest fighters in the world," he said. "They are a hardy lot and love the name." I have seen these Negro soldiers march all day in high spirits, humming songs together. I have never heard them complain. They keep their camp in neat order, which means much work, and after evening meetings, they bring things, card games and stories. I saw these Negroes day after day doing these things, and they went into battle just the same way, light heartedly, yet determined to make good records and please their officers, it matters not. They bring cards, a frolie, the job must be a good one, and a good one they made it. And To Sell — Memorial Edition BOOKER T.

Patton, Calumet Av., Chicago visited The Gazette sanctum sanctorum, last week Saturday, bringing greetings from our good friends, Prof. and Mrs. Henderson Smith of that city. Mr. Smith will be remembered by many as the director of "The Ten Black Hussars." St. John "Mothers' club" of the S. S. cradle-roll department held a successful bazaar in the lecture room of the church and much praise is being deservedly showered on the ladies for the unique and most pleasing art of the booths. Everything was sold and $53 were realized. A splendid showing. The more some people are insulted, the more they seem to like it and desire others to be made "spectacles" of, too. This applies to those members of the Caterers' Association who persist in going to color-luna Park with their entertainments. A little self and race respect and pride is apparently sorely lacking with such members of the race. The Cleveland Knights Templar will hold their annual thanksgiving service at St. John's church, tomorrow morning. The choir will render three special anthems: "Shout, Ye High Heavens," by G. W. Chadwick, "The Same Song," by W. W. Lachry and "Awake, Thon that Sleepest" by Fanta. In the evening, the beautiful cantata, "The Seven Last Words of Christ" by Du Bois. When the grand old solo, "The Palms", was being sung at St. Andrews P. E. church, Palm Sunday, there was a number in the congregation who was the widow of Mr. Ralph Williams, for so much headwaiter at the old Forest City house (recently closed), and Mrs. Eliza Holmes, widow of Mr. John Homes, one of the original owners of the Gazette, who were forcibly re-educated in the 1930s, sang that beautiful song in years gone by as no one else in this community has ever sung it. Hardly were the opening words of the song heard before, almost unconscious, the word "Ernie" was whispered by many a person in the congregation. Nearly a year has elapsed since Ernie's Oratory was first known by so very many here in his old home, left us. But many, very many years will come and go ere there is any change in the deep feeling that scores in this, and many other communities in other states, hold for the most popular and best beloved resident of our class this city has ever known. When "Ernie" finished singing "It was useless for others to begin. It was smooth, strong, sweet and deep baritone voice, and he knew how to use it. Cory M.

Social talk, vocal and instrumental music and a dainty two-course luncheon served to make the evening an ideal one. Covers were laid for 24. The guests of honor were Mrs. Hattie Justice and Mrs. W. M. Orr of Pittsburg, Mrs. Segoins' guest. As host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Segoins are certainly successes. Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones of E. 101st St., celebrated their 22d marriage anniversary on the 19th, Mr. Jones surprising his wife by inviting 19 of their old friends to meet her and presenting her with a nice sum of money, a beautiful and very valuable brooch and other useful things. A fine luncheon was served and the guests also presented Mrs. Jones with many beautiful gifts. All left, wishing the host and hostess many very happy returns of the day. Rev. C. G.

Concerning his candidacy for delegate to the Republican State Convention, the election for which occurs next Tuesday, J. Walter Wills, a leading business man and President of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men had the following to say this week: "The people of Cleveland are not noted for being closely wide awake. There are teetotal and white people, both of which should be supported. The first, that of issuing bonds for the purpose of providing a public hall, and the second, that of issuing bonds for the purpose of providing proper approaches to the new Detroit-Superior High Level Bridge. It seems to me that all progressive citizens, who are desirous of seeing Cleveland keep the very front rank of American cities, should vote in favor of these bonds. "As a delegate to the Republican state convention, I wish to have it understood that if elected as such, I would not have it understood that I am a representative, either local or state. Whatever the administration has done which affects us has received the endorsement of our representative, Mr. Fleming. I am a candidate for the place because there are a number of my friends who are not distributed somewhat and not confined to any particular circle or individual. "Councilman Thomas W. Fleming is my opponent. Mr. Fleming, for a decade or more, has been very generously dealt with by the Republican party, through the backing of his friends. It may not be necessary to enumerate, he has been a refusal memoir. Mr. Phi has been a candidate for councilman four times, and elected twice. He has been a member of the Republican State Executive Committee several times; he was deputy oil inspector, and several other political honors, of more or less importance, have been conferred upon him. It is reasonable to believe that whatever political prestige Mr. Fleming has earned of those who have been his friends covering a period of fifteen years, or "If a personal reference may be pardoned, no one supported Mr. Fleming more loyally than myself during his last campaign. As chairman of the Eleventh Ward Citizens' Committee, that backed his candidacy, no person can imagine my active and loyal interest. Several delegations visited me some time prior to the election, asking me to be a candidate for Council. I informed all of them that I would not do so, as long as Mr. Fleming was a candidate. "Now, when my friends ask me to be a candidate for the simple honor of delegate to the Republican convention, Mr. Fleming requests me to step out of the contest because Mr. Maurice Maschke asked him to make the race. There may be a political aspect to this request from Mr. Maschke, but I believe now is the time to let it be known that I have few other humble citizens living in the Eleventh Ward besides the worthy councilman. "Moreover, it is very generally believed that Mr. Fleming is very largely influenced in his political action and judgment by A. D. Boyd, who, though personally likeable, because of his business and seeming ambition to be "boss of the Eleventh Ward," is not acceptable to a large portion of our business that respect in the Eleventh Ward. The Eleventh Ward being the section of the city in which the majority of our churches are located, and in which a large percentage of the members live, it is difficult to understand why it would be considered for a moment that this man should have the final say in our civic and political affairs. As a member of a leading church denomination in the ward, it is hard to conceive how Mr. Fleming will accept the dictates of "Starlight" of the men who have backed him politically, and been his friends for all the years he has sought political preferment. "These conditions are the crux of the contest in the Eleventh Ward for delegate to the State Convention. Those citizens of the Eleventh Ward who feel that there is some justice in these contentions, I respectfully ask to support my candidacy at the polls next Tuesday. I appreciate the loyal support being given me by a large number of the citizens. My friends believe that some one of us is entitled to this consideration, and I am willing to do all in my power to help their views." (Adv.) HITS SEGREGATION. U. S. Judge Enjoins Ordinance Passed in St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo.—Enforcement of the segregation ordinance of St. Louis was enjoined by the federal district court here, Monday. The injunction was granted by District Judge Dyer, who said he made the order temporary only because the federal supreme court ordered that the district court Louisville, Ky. Otherwise, he said, he would have granted a permanent injunction. In announcing his decision, Judge Dyer said: "The Negro is entitled to the same consideration and the same rights as is a white man. He wants the same social equality. He wants the same rights before the law as the white man and he should have them." MALE HELP WANTED!

Quality Service AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The meeting in Carnegie Institute Music Hall, Pittsburgh, for the benefit of Hampton institute, Virginia, developed into a memorial to the late Booker T. Washington and to his work toward the solution of the race problem in America. Every speaker eulogized him, the quartet paid tribute to him in song and an unexpected feature of the meeting was a presentation of a medallion representing Doctor Washington's head, which had been modeled in clay by Miss Ruth M. Harris, now a student in the University of Pittsburgh. There were several hundred persons at the meeting, numbered among whom were many prominent men and women of Pittsburgh as well as many Negroes who realize the work that is being done for their race at Hampton. The program opened with old plantation melodies sung by graduates of the school. Dr. John A. Brashear presided. He drew attention to the fact that at the last Hampton meeting in Pittsburgh, two years ago, Doctor Washington was one of the speakers. Doctor Brashear then introduced George McAney, managing director of the New York Times. Mr. McAenny said he became interested in Hampton's work when he was sent there to write a descriptive story some twenty-five years ago. Since that time he has been active in the work of Hampton, and of the Tuskegee institute, which Booker T. Washington made famous. Mr. McAenny said that Hampton has many phases in its work, but that of which he likes to think is that it is the scene of the greatest attempt to reach a solution of the problem of the place the Negro is to occupy in this nation. He welcomed Maj. Robert Moton, also a speaker of the evening, and the principal-elect of Tuskegee, as Booker T. Washington's successor as the leader of his people. Major Moton's address was an exposition of the aims of Hampton—to wipe from the mind of the Negro the repugnance toward manual labor which came to him when he was freed, to instil in him a knowledge of the dignity and honor of labor of the hands, to teach him to believe in himself, and to respect himself rather than to feel shame at his color or his race. He said that the adjustments of the two great extremes—the white and the black—is the greatest problem this country faces, and he rejoiced in the belief that Hampton and Tuskegee are helping to solve it. A short address was made by Rev. H. B. Turner, chaplain at Hampton, and Miss Harris then presented the medallion to Major Moton to be presented, in turn to Tuskegee. Dr. Kelly Miller, dean of the college of arts and sciences, at Howard university, in Washington, spoke on "The Essential Elements of the Race Problem," at the regular monthly meeting of the Protestant Ministerial association, at Roberts Park Methodist church, Indianapolis. The Negro problem, he said, was "essentially a human problem," with the white race in the position of trustee. He pleaded especially that education and encouragement be given the Negro. Howard university, with which he is connected, is a Negro institution. The Rev. J. H. Crum was chairman of the meeting. A considerable number of colored men and women were in the audience. The Rev. A. B. The Negro population of the United States increased from 757,208, or 19.3 per cent of the total population, in 1780, to 9,827,763, or 10.7 per cent of the total, in 1910. The increase between 1900 and 1910 was at the rate of 11.2 per cent, while during the same period the white population increased by 22.3 per cent. Since 1810 there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion which Negroes have formed of the total population, due, at least in part, to the fact that the white population has been continually augmented by immigration, while there has been very little immigration of Negroes during the past hundred years. The problem of the Negro is one to which the South has not always given sufficient attention. The South is only just awakening to the fact that as the old status of the Negro is gone, never to return, it is its duty to do what it can to establish a new one on an enduring basis. As the Houston Post said the other day: "It is essential to the well-being of the white people that the industrial One of the strangest animals known to zoologists is the tenrec, an insect-eating animal found only in the Island of Madagascar. It is supposed to represent a very ancient type of animal which is now almost extinct. Madagascar, once a part of the mainland of the African continent, was separated therefrom at a very remote period in the past. As a result a fauna peculiar to the island has been developed. Wisconsin bran bread is sold in many states. Coahoma county, Missouri, boasts two rival sheriffs, one holding office by right of election, supported by a chancery court injunction, the other appointed by Governor Bibio and backed up by militia, so the advantage seems to depend entirely on the efficiency of said state troops in case affairs come to a crisis. An English scientist believes that, if the radium in the interior of the earth is equal in quantity to that in the surface rocks, the world will grow hotter in time instead of colder. Storms announced that the program for May would include a consideration of the subject of national charities and corrections and that two or three men of national reputation would speak. Doctor Miller said in part: "The race problem constitutes a challenge to Christianity in the world today. If Christ should come to America, he would not ask of the Christian church how many costly edifices have you constructed, or how well have you organized your schemes of endeavor according to the exactness of business efficiency; but rather what are you doing for the least of these my brethren in black whom circumstances have placed in your own midst?" "The Negro cannot be segregated from the communal life of which he forms an inseparable part. It is not necessary to like the Negro in order to be interested in him. You may hate with deep malignity your fellow-passenger on an ocean steamer, but the moment he becomes afflicted with the smallpox he elicits your keenest interest and anxiety, for he has the power to communicate to you the malady which has afflicted him. "Every ignorant Negro in Indianapolis lowers the standard of intelligence of the city. Every vicious one impairs its moral reputation, everyone who is sick affects the health of your fair capital. Those disease gams pay absolutely no regard to the doctrine of race superiority. They are not even frightened at the scarecrow of social equality, but gnaw with equal avidity at the vitals of black and white alike and pass with utmost freedom and satisfaction from one to the other. "Strong emphasis should be placed upon the Negro, not because he is black, but because his needs are greatest. In this work of human uplift, you may well lay aside all preconceived theories of racial arrogance and conceit and apply yourselves in the spirit of Christian brotherhood to this great human task. "The Negroes as a mass had to be improved in their efficiency through industrial training, to which Dr. Booker T. Washington devoted his life. At the same time they need leaders to guide them wisely amid the dangers and vicissitudes of life. Just as we appeal to the Christianity, philanthropy and statesmanship of the white race to assist and encourage the industrial training of the masses, we with equal earnestness urge the importance of the higher education for the development of a wise and effective leadership." Nearly 1,000 Negroes gathered at Victoria, Texas, for the grand central meeting of the colored farmers of Victoria and the Southwest Colored School Teachers' association meeting. At noon all formed in line at the school building and marched to the public square. A large United States flag was at the head of the line, while about 300 school children each carried small ones. On arriving at the square all formed about the bandstand and joined in singing "America." Following this several influential Negroes addressed the gathering. The teachers were in session all the afternoon and evening in the colored school building. The government of Uruguay will assume control of all telegraph and telephone services and reorganize and improve them. status of Negroes be improved. By teaching them to become efficient and thrifty and encouraging them to better their conditions materially and morally, much will be accomplished toward correcting the conditions that make them easy victims for tuberculosis and other diseases. We cannot say that these things are not our business, unless we confess indifference to our own well-being. The Negroes are not going to make much progress without the co-operation and sympathy of the white people, and we must face the unchangeable truth that we can best help ourselves in fighting tuberculosis by aiding them to rise above the miserable living conditions which so large a proportion of them are now compelled to endure." The Negro is not only the white man's burden but also the white man's problem. But the problem is surely one that can be solved.—Dallas Times Herald.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 1916. ULTIMATUM SENT BY THE PRESIDENT Note on Submarine Warfare Is Forwarded to Gerard to Be Delivered to Berlin. GERMANY BROKE PROMISES Informs Berlin Government It Must Abandon Present Methods of Submarine Warfare or U. S. Will Sever Diplomatic Relations. Washington, D. C.—Here is the text of the note sent by the United States government to Ambassador Gerard in Berlin: You are instructed to deliver to the secretary of foreign affairs a communication reading as follows: I did not fail to transmit immediately, by telegraph, to my government your excellency's note of the 10th instant in regard to certain attacks by German submarines disastrous explosion which on March 24 last, wrecked the French steamship Sussex in the English channel. I have now the honor to deliver, under instructions from my government, the following reply to you: Information now in the possession of the government of the United States fully establishes the facts in the case of the Sussex, and inferences which my government regards as confirmed by the circumstances set forth in your excellency's note of the 10th instant. On the 24th of March, 1916, at about 22:00 on a afternoon, the unarmed steamer Sussex, with 225 or more passengers on board, among whom were a number of American citizens, was torpedoed while crossing from Folkestone to Dieppe. The Sussex had never been armed; was a small vessel, and was not for the conveyance of passengers across the English channel; and was not following the route taken by troop ships or supply ships. About 80 of her passengers, noncombatants of all ages and sexes, in attendance at the United States, were killed or injured. Insists Submarine Sank Sussex. A careful, detailed and scrupulously impartial investigation by naval and military officials concluded established the fact that the Sussex was torpedoed without warning or summons to surrender and that the torpedo by which she was struck was of German origin. In view of the government of the United States these facts from the first made the conclusion that the torpedo was fired by a German submarine now considers that conclusion substantiated by the statements of your excellence's note. A full statement of the facts of the attack has been made. States has based its conclusion is inclosed. The government of the United States, after having given careful consideration of the situation which has resulted, to the 10th of April, regrets to state that the impression made upon it by the statements and proposals contained in that note is that the imperial government has not been satisfied in the situation which has resulted, not alone from the attack on the Sussex, but from the whole method and character of submarine operations. The strained practice of the commanders of German undersea craft during the past 12 months and more in the indiscriminate destruction of merchant vessels of all nations has been reported. If the sinking of the Sussex had been an isolated case the government of the United States might find it possible to hope that the officer was killed without being disposed his orders or had been criminally negligent in taking none of the precautions they prescribed, and that the ends of justice were not achieved, he would have an adequate punishment, coupled with a formal disavowal of the act and payment of a suitable indemnity by the imperial court. But, though the attack upon the Sussex was manifestly indefensible and caused a loss of life so tragical as to make it stand forth as one of the most terrible examples of the inhumanity of German vessels as was the case with German vessels are conducting it, it unhappily does not stand alone. On the contrary, the government of the United States by recent events to conclude that it is only one instance, even though one of the most extreme and most distressing instances, of the deliberate method and spite of indiscriminate attacks on German vessels, nationalities and destinations which have become more and more unmistakable as to the activity of German undersea vessels of war has in recent months been The imperial government will recall when, in February, 1915, it announced its intention of treating the maternal surrogate within the seat of war and embraced within the seat of war and of destroying all merchant ships owned by its enemies that might be found within that zone of danger, and warned all vessels, neutral as well as belligerent, of the danger of being attacked or to enter them at their peril, the government of the United States carnely protested. It placed the position that such a policy could not be pursued without constant gross and palpable violations of the accepted law of nations, particularly if submarine craft were to be employed as its instruments, inasmuch as the rules preset for the protection of the lives of non-combatants at sea, could not in the nature of the case be observed by such vessels. It based its protest on the ground that persons of neutral nationality or of warship would be exposed to extreme and intolerable risks; and that no right to close any part of the high seas could lawfully be asserted by the imperial government in the circumstances The law of nations in these matters, upon which the government of the United States based that protest, is not of recent origin. The laws of the United States principles set up by convention. It is based, on the contrary, upon manifest principles of humanity and has long been established with the approval and by establishment of the government, notwithstanding. Defends Ohio Guard. Columbus, O.-Gov. Willis has vigorously defended the Ohio National Guard in view of Senator Borah's charges of extravagance and misappropriation of funds against the guard in the senate. Gov. Willis issued a statement saying: "So far as the Ohio National Guard is concerned, Senator Borah is evidently misinformed as to facts. Every dollar of federal funds expended in Ohio is spent under the direct order and rules laid down by the war department of the United States government." Can't Furnish Bond. Vermilion, O.—A. L.

In pursuance of this policy of submarine warfare against the commerce of its enemies, the commander upon despite the solemn protest of the government of the United States, the commanders of the imperial government's undersea vessels have carried on practices of such ruthless destruction which the months have gone by that the imperial government has found it impracticable to put any such restraints upon them as it had hoped and promised to put. Again, U.S. Navy Promises Provided Fails After a grueling again the imperial government has given permission to the government of the United States that at least passenger ships would not be permitted to permit its undersiders commanders to disregard those assurances with entire impunity. Security as February last it gave notice that it would regard all armed merchantmen owned by its enemies as part of the armed naval forces of its adversaries and deal with them as with men-of-war, thus, at least by implication, that they would not be permitted, which were not armed and to accord security of life to their passengers and crews; but even this limitation their submarine commanders have recklessly ignored. Vessels of neutral ownership, even vessels of neutral ownership bound from neutral port to neutral port, have been being used with vessels of neutral ownership in constantly increasing numbers. Sometimes the merchantmen attended to surrender before being fired on or torpedoed; sometimes their passengers and crews have been vouchsafed the poor security of being allowed to take to the ship's boats But again and again no warning has been given, no escape even to the ship's boats allowed to those on board. Great distress was felt when a mere passenger boats like the Sussex have been attacked without a moment's warning, often before they have even become aware that they were in the press. The crew had to be rescued by the lives of noncombatants, passengers and crew have been destroyed wholesale and in a manner which the government of the United States cannot but regard as justification, without the slightest color of justification. No limit of any kind had in fact been set to their indiscriminate pursuit and destruction of the nationalities and nationalities, within the waters which the imperial government has chosen to designate as lying within the seat of war. Their lives upon ships thus attacked and destroyed has grown month by month until the ominous toll has mounted into the hundreds. The department of the United States has been very patient. At every stage of this distressing experience of tragedy after tragedy the courage of the crew must be considered the most crucial consideration of the extraordinary circumstances of an unprecedented war and to be guided by sentiments of very gaudine friendship for the people and government of Ger- May Be More Negotiations. Washington, D. C. — The statement was made by an official in position to know the view of the German embassy that if the president breaks off diplomatic relations it will probably be only a question of time when the two countries are at war. It was said the note of the United States is not regarded as closing the door for future negotiations. It is not interpreted as meaning that the United States demands an immediate cessation of Germany's submarine warfare. Attempted Suicide.

Kneder's spine was broken and his neck dislocated, physicians say. Despondency caused his act British Hold Up U. S. Ship Washington, D. C.—Official reports have been received by the state department that a British cruiser has held up the American ship Henry S. in Philippine waters and removed two alleged German subjects. State department officials describe it as one of the most flagrant violations of American rights on the high seas so far committed by Great Britain. British officers who boarded the vessel examined her from keel to deck, breaking open boxes and invading private property. Secure Von Papen's Records Secure Von Papen New York City—Federal agents raided the office of Capt. Von Papen and seized his files and important documents and arrested Wolf Von Igel, former secretary of Von Papen. It is reported the papers bear out the Welland canal conspiracy, and that they establish the connection of Von Papen with practically every bomb and mortar of the last year and half. A list of Germans and Americans who acted as German agents in this country, it is stated, was also found. USEFUL MILK COOLER Perfectly Simple Device, but a Most Useful Convenience During the Hot Summer Months—Description Will Make It Easy to Copy. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The iceless refrigerator, or milk cooler, is one of several simple devices which farm women of the South are making and using in their home demonstration work. It has been found to be a useful convenience for the hot summer days of the South, and frequently more than 100 have been CROCK TOWER made in a single county. The cooler, which was designed by Prof. M. T. Fullan of the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, consists of a wooden frame covered with canton flannel or some similar material. It is desirable that the frame be screened, although this is not absolutely necessary. Wicks made of the same material as the covering rest in a pan of water on top of the refrigerator, allowing the water to seep down the sides. When evaporation takes place the heat is taken from the inside, with a consequent lowering of the temperature. On dry, hot days a temperature of 50 degrees can be obtained in this refrigerator. The following description will aid in the construction of this device: Make a screened case three and one- NOT HARD TO KEEP COLOR Cottons That Are Soaked Before Washing Look Best and Last For Long Time. The recent agitation about inferior dyestuffs has made women hesitate when looking at the lovely summer fabrics. Here are a few hints about preserving the colors: For mauve or lavender put the articles in cold water with common baking powder, adding to one-half gallon of water one tablespoonful of soda. Soak one-half hour, wash carefully inukwarm water, using a little pure soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry in the shade. For blues, one teaspoonful of muriatic acid to a gallon of water. For greens, alum water is good, using four ounces of alum to a tubful of water. Often common salt dissolved in water will set colors. A tablespoonful to a gallon of water. The dyeing of colored wash goods is most important. They should be dried quickly and in the shade. Never hang a print skirt or waist double over the line. Hang it from one of the wooden arms made purposefully for hanging skirts. FLUTING IRONS COME BACK Vogue That Has Not Been General for Among the other machines dug up with the farthingale and the sampler frame are the futing irons. A perfect bevy of models in the spring calendar will require futing. And what was it that the "befoh de war mammies" used to use instead of starch. A lady's book from an old Virginia family mansion gives a recipe which likely enough will find favor in many a select laundry this season. First making sure of the use of "rain water," the direction goes on to describe how tuckers, organic skirts and breakfast caps may be kept clean and yet given the necessary stiffness by making starch of gum arabic carefully melted and strained through a "bobinet" frame. This starch is supposed to be put FADS AND FANCIES There is a positive rage for smocks. The pinafore has suddenly assumed quite an important place in our wardrobes, and has much care and thought lavished upon it. Smocking is perhaps the most popular decoration for it, for it gives the most prosaic garment an element of chic at once. Strangely enough, flannel seems a favorite material for the making of smocks. Cotton crepe is also used a good deal, being easily washed and requiring no ironing it lends itself excellently to practical uses. Some charming pinafores for grown-ups made in gayly colored chintzes and flowered linens have been seen recently—one pretty, fair girl looked like a vision of Botticelli's "La Belle Simonetta" in a coarse white linen hand printed with a Florentine flower design—but plain colors smocked in a contrasting shade with coarse silk or cotton are pretty and successful, and easily made at home. Keep your smocking even, running lines of white cotton along first to half feet high with the other dimensions 12 by 15 inches. If a solid top is used, simply place the water pan on this. Otherwise fit the pan closely into the opening of the top frame and support it by one-inch cleats fastened to the inside of the frame. Place two movable shelves in the frame, 12 to 15 inches apart. Use a biscuit pan 12 inches square on the top to hold the water, and where the refrigerator is to be used indoors have the whole thing standing in a large pan to catch any drip. The pans and case may be painted white, allowed to dry, and then enameled. A covering of white canton flannel should be made to fit the frame. Have the smooth side out and button the covering on the frame with buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged so that the door may be opened without unfasting these hooks. This can easily be done by putting one row of hooks on the edge of the door near the latch and the other just opposite the opening with the hem on each side extended far enough to cover the crack at the edge of the door, so as to keep out the warm, outside air and retain the cooled air. This dress or covering will have to be hooked around the top edge also. Two double strips one-half the width of each side should be sewed on the top of each side and allowed to extend over about two and one-half or three inches in the pan of water. The bottom of the covering should extend to the lower edge of the case. Place the refrigerator in a shady place where air will circulate around it freely. If buttons and buttonholes are used on the canton flannel instead of buggy hooks, the cost should not exceed 85 cents. Another type of iceless refrigerator, similar in principle to the one described, is shown in the illustration. As will be seen, this consists of three shelves, attached to a substantial piece of lumber running through the center of each shelf. A heavy cross-piece at the bottom of the central support serves as a base. A bag of cannon flannel, and opening on the side, covers the refrigerator and may be drawn tight at the bottom by means of a string around the edge. Buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes may be used for the opening, although buttons and buttonholes will probably do as well. Bows and Bands of Straw Colored as well as black straw is used for bands and bows instead of ribbon. In fact, this idea is already so overworked that it is probable that we shall be tired of it before spring comes. All these novelties are quickly run to ground, especially when they start so early in the season. on in dabs under the very nose of the sadiron "that there may be no wasteful extravagance," and altogether the proceeding hints of a pretty art well-nigh extinct in these days of steam laundries.

Fine cottons and silks are hard to wash and will not stand, hard water. Coat-Frock. One of the novelties of the season is a taffeta coat that serves as a one-piece frock. This kind of garment promises to become very popular because for several years it has been the fashion not to remove the coat for any form of indoor entertainment, including lunch at private houses or at restaurants. Some well dressed women have ceased to wear blouses, substituting guipes of net or organdle. Making Muslins Nearly Fireproof. Muslins and laces may be rendered much less inflammable by simply mixing with the starch used in launder an equal quantity of whiting. Breakfast and Luncheon Delicacy Worth All the Time That Can Be Bestowed on it. An earthen bowl should always be used for mixing cake, and a wooden cake spoon with slits lightens the labor. Measure dry ingredients, and mix and sift baking powder and spices, if used, with flour. Count out number of eggs required, breaking each separately that there may be no loss should a stale egg chance to be found in the number, separating yolks from whites if rule so specifies. Measure butter, then liquid. Having everything in readiness, the mixing may be quickly accomplished. If butter is very hard, by allowing it to stand a short time in a warm room it is measured and creamed much easier. If time cannot be allowed for this to be done, warm bowl by pouring in some hot water, letting stand one minute, then emptying and wiping dry. Avoid overheating the bowl, as butter will become oily rather than creamy. Put butter in bowl and cream by working with a wooden spoon until soft and of a creamy consistency, then add sugar gradually and continue beating. All yolks of eggs or whole eggs beaten until light, liquid and flour mixed and sifted with baking powder; or liquid and flour may be added alternately. When yolks and whites are beaten separately whites are usually added at the last, as in the case when whites of eggs alone are used. A cake can be made fine grained only by long beating, although light and delicate with a small amount of beating. Never stir cake after the final beating, remembering that beating motion should always be the last used. Fruit, when added to cake, is usually floured, to prevent its setting to the bottom. This is not necessary if it is added directly after the sugar, which is desirable in all cark cakes. If a light fruit cake is made, fruit added in this way discolors the loaf. Citron is cut first in thin slices, then in strips, floured, and put in between layers of cake mixture. Raisins are seeded and cut, rather than chopped. Washed currants, put up in packages, are quite free from stems and foreign substances, and need only picking over and rolling in flour. Stewed Beef With Dried Green Peas. Wash (after picking over) one pint of dried green peas. Put in kettle with enough water and let come to a boll (water should cover), and while boiling add about one-half teaspoonful of baking soda (salateratus). Continue boiling for about five or ten minutes, then remove from fire and strain and wash the peas to free from taste of soda. Prepare about one-half pound of lean beef (stew beef) by rinsing and cutting up in not too small pieces. Put the meat and prepared peas again in kettle and stew until meat is tender. Keep covered with water while meat is cooking. Season with salt, pepper and a small勺 of butter (the butter may be omitted, but I prefer to add it). Mock Fish. Cut some scraped salisfy into inch lengths, dropping them as done into water acidulated either with vinegar or lemon juice, and, soaking them in it for an hour; drain carefully, barely cover with boiling salted water, cook gently until soft, and strain. Having made a thick, white sauce with the liquor mingled with an equal quantity of scalded milk, thickened with butter and flour in the usual proportions and seasoned agreeably with salt, pepper and lemon juice, put the salisfy into fireproof shells, mask with the sauce, strew lightly with bread crumbs and a few knobs of butter, and brown in a quick oven. Or, if preferred, serve in cases of puff paste. Vegetarian Bissoles Rub three ounces of butter into one half pound of whole-meal bread crumbs, adding one tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley, one teaspoonful each of shredded onion and of minced herbs, a grate of nutmeg and lemon peel and seasoning to taste; mix this with an egg beaten up in one teacupful of milk, or, better still if available, of white sauce; mold into balls or torpedoes, fry in hot fat and serve garnished with daintily fried slices of hard-boiled egg, handing brown sauce and red currant jelly at the same time. Irish Iceberg. Put four cupfuls of water and two cupfuls of sugar in saucepan, bring to the boiling point and let boil 20 minutes. Cool, add three-fourths cupful of lemon juice. Color green and strain. Freeze, using three parts of finely-crushed ice to one part of rock salt. Serve in tall dessert glasses and pour over each portion one teaspoonful of creme de monton. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, using Jordan almonds, English walnuts, and pecans in equal proportions.—Woman's Home Companion. Pommes a la Crème Having smoothly blended one tablespoonful each of butter and flour, stir them into one breakfast cupful of hot milk, continue stirring over the fire until thick, season well, and add two breakfast cupfuls of sliced cooked potatoes and a little chopped parsley, heating thoroughly and serving, browned or not in the oven, in a deep dish Veal Salad. This is nice when you have finished with a roast of veal. Cut up veal in dice, also bunch of celery diced, place on bed of lettuce leaves. Pour over dressing, place few olives, stuffed ones with red peppers look attractive and add a delicate flavor, too, by chopping in a few with the salad. Bacon and Apples. Core and peel the apples and cut into one-half inch slices. Cut the same amount of bacon into very thin slices. Fry the bacon in its own good fat until crisp and put it on a hot dish. Fry the apples in the bacon fat until light brown; arrange around the bacon. Serve very hot.
