THIRTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 43. IN UNION THERE IS STRONGTH SOLDIERS RESCUE CAPTIVE AMERICANS Reported Troopers Kill Six Bandits and Capture Seventy-five Others. CONSUL LETCHER LEAVES Many Mexican Refugees Arrive at El Paso; Report Carranza No Longer a Factor With Army; Villa Is Popular Idol of Troops. San Antonio, Tex—United States soldiers have killed six Mexican bandits, captured 75 and rescued Jesse Deemer, American storekeeper, formerly of Girard, O., captured by Mexican raiders on Glenn Springs and Boquillas, Tex. With Deemer, Monroe Payne, negro cook employed by Deemer, was rescued. The men are being brought back to the border. This statement was made by a truck driver named Terry who reached Marathon, Tex. Maj. Langherne's Troops in Clash. Maj. Langhorne and his two troops of the 8th cavalry have had a clash with the Glenn Springs raiders. They wounded and captured two of them. Gen. Funston has received a dispatch from Col. Sibley reporting this little engagement. No American was wounded in this fight. Col. Sibley did not state where nor when the fight occurred, except that it followed the rescue of Deemer and Payne. In consequence it cannot be determined whether this engagement gave rise to the report carried to Marathon by a truck driver that 75 bandits had been captured, or whether such a roundup of bandits did occur later. El Paso, Tex.-The 6th cavalry has been sent into the mountainous region north and west of Colonia Dublan as a further precaution against an attack on the line of communications by Sonora troops. The order for the movement was issued by Gen. Pershing on information furnished by Gen. Fuson. The American military authorities on the border have been successful, it is said, in intercepting highly informative communications sent through the wireless station controlled by the Mexicans in Juarez. United States Consul Marion Letcher and nine other Americans have arrived at the border from Chihuahua City. British vice consul C. G. Scobell has been entrusted with the consular business during Letcher's absence from his post there, which is for an indefinite period. Almost a Thousand Refuges. Nearly a thousand Mexican refugees followed the Americans out. The United States immigration authorities here have been notified that additional refugee trains from the south may be expected. "The de facto government authorities are instructing their subordinate generals, brigade and company officers to get ready to fight the gringoes," said one of the refugees in the Letcher party. "Carranza is no longer a factor with the Chihuahua army. Obregon, probably the biggest military man recognized, does not weigh much in Chihuahua City. Gen. Trevino is better liked, but not dominant in the situation, which is characterized as most critical. "In the event of hostilities, Villa's leadership will be welcomed by the Mexican soldiers in Chihuahua. He is the only popular idol of the peon troops. Evidences of this, not to be mistaken, are daily to be found in the Chihuahua capital." VIENNA SAYS AUSTRIANS CAPTURE MORE POSITIONS; WAR-CRAFT IN CLASH. Amsterdam, Holland.—The new offensive movement of the Austrians on the Italian front is continuing successfully, and a number of other positions have been captured, an official statement from Vienna says. More than 6,000 men, 13 cannon and 17 machine guns have been taken. Another war clash between German and British war craft has taken place off the Belgian coast. British destroyers and monitors engaged German destroyers. The British admiralty reports the Germans, after a brief engagement, withdrew to their ports. The British monitor M-30 has been destroyed, it was officially announced in London. It is presumed the loss was suffered in the clash off the Belgian coast. Although heavy cannonning is being kept up along the Verdun front, here there been little infantry activity, according to a Paris bulletin. Two Killed. Four Injured. Portsmouth, O.—A woman and a baby were killed and four others injured when an auto skidded and overturned at Scotoville, seven miles east of here. The dead: Mrs. Anna Burgess, 23, and Grover Cleveland Adkins, 20 months. The injured: Lucile Burgess, 2; Harry Davis, 27; Mrs. Salle Adkins, 18, and Dave Ealey, 26 driver. All were from Chinnville, Ky. Ealey was held by the county authorities pending investigation of speeding charges. THE GAZETTE THE A. M. E. CHURCH GENERAL CONFERENCE Heads of Departments Report---Bryant and Hawkins in Hot Debate---Two Bishops to Be Elected. Philadelphia, May 15. - The centennial session of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church, is well under way, the general officers having made their reports, and the consideration of the questions of general import to the denomination begun. Some bitterness has been manifested, however. Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union at Nashville, charged in his report that Financial Secretary John Hawkins had failed to pay him $600 as had been ordered by the General Conference to be paid him as publisher of the Southern Christian Recorder. He also said that Mr. Hawkins had paid J. I. Lowe, manager of the A. M. E. Book Concern $1,350 a year for the past four years, which was against the wishes of the General Conference. BISHOP B. F. LEE. Prof. Hawkins made a stinging reply to Mr. Bryant, hinting at alleged irregularities in the accounts of Rev. G. W. Allen, editor of the Southern Christian Recorder, and charging that the latter had sold the paper to Mr. Bryant for $1,000. Prof. Hawkins said that he was justified in paying Manager Lowe his salary as the Pennsylvania courts had decided that Dr. Lowe was an employee of the General Conference. Mr. Bryant made a heated reply, and alleged that Hawkins was opposed to him in ecclesiastical politics. The controversy was referred to the Episodic committee. There has been some feeling between the Southern and Northern wings of the church, and some more may crop out. Every effort is being made to stave off any such manifestation. There is a decided sentiment that at least two bishops should be elected to take the places of Bishops Henry M. Turner, W. B. Derrick and M. B. Salter, who have died during the past four years. Some of the delegates are contending that Bishops B. F. Lee, S. Smith and C. T. Shaffer should be retired, but no such recommendation has been made by the Episcopal committee. The report of the manager of the Book Concern shows that $53,847.70 has been received during the past four years and that $53,769.87 had been spent. The property of the Book Concern, the oldest publishing house owned by Afro-Americans, is valued at $35,000. The report of the missionary secretary, Dr. J. W. Rankin, reveals that $178,387.47 has been raised for the missionary movement and that the church has opened new fields in Southern Nigeria, West Africa, a British colony. Roy B. F. Watson of the Church Extension Society, shows that it has received $130,179.33, and that $117,421.72 has been spent in aiding churches, and that the society has assets valued at $366.134. BISHOP L. J. COPPIN. The report of the Financial Secretary showed that the total amount of "dollar money" raised by districts was: First district, $61,493.79; second, $71,050.15; third, $31,919.17; fourth, $55,452.09; fifth, $61,389.21; sixth, $122,509.57; seventh, $79,103.80; eighth, $62,346.52; ninth, $79,961.31; tenth, $44,994.28; eleventh, $72,265.31; twelfth, $60,050.66; thirteenth, $1,486.98; fourteenth, $20,293.79; fifteenth, $7,915.88. Total, $85,210.44. A. S. Jackson, commissioner of education, showed that $55,709.88 was raised for education of the Sunday School Union showed that the largest publish house controlled by Afro-Americans has been put in operation. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1916. SENATE AGREES TO ARMY BILL Provides for Regular Army of 211,000 Peace and 260,000 War Strength. NATIONAL GUARD OF 457.000 Senators Differ on Need of Big Land Force; Borah Says Guard Will Prove More Detrimental Than Invading Army. Washington, D. C. — The senate has agreed to the conference report on the army reorganization bill without a roll call. The house is expected to approve the report and send the first of the big national defense measures to the president. What Bill Provides. The bill provides for a regular army of 211,000 officers and men at peace strength and approximately 260,000 at war strength and for a federal national guard of 457,000 officers and men at maximum strength. Discussion of the conference report embraced a denunciation of Great Britain for execution of the Irish revolutionists, attacks upon the administration's Mexican policy, renewed assaults upon the national guard as a political force, and vigorous criticism of the provision for a government nitrate manufacturing plant. Senator Fall asserted that Gen. Pershing with the 14,000 troops at his command could march on Mexico City, taking every town with little trouble if he were unhampered by orders from Washington. He also declared that representatives of Gen. Carranza were negotiating with foreign governments against the United States. Guard Worse Than Invading Army. Senator Borah of Idaho, renewing his attack on the national guard as a political force, declared that it would prove to be more detrimental to the United States than an invading army. Senator Lodge and Chairman Stone of the foreign relations committee also criticized the army bill, the former blaming the house for not accepting a larger regular army proposed by the senate and the latter malintention that the proposed army was too great. Senator Stone said: "I see no need now, nor at any time in our history, for a large army. The enlargement provided would entail a very grave and useless burden." Senator Brandegee, author of the amendment for a regular standing army of 250,000 men at peace strength, which was rejected by the conference, declared that the English language was inadequate to express his disgust at the conference action. FEAR DOCTOR IS SLAIN DISAPPEARS ON EVE OF MARRIAGE TO WEALTHY YOUNG LADY OF POUGHKEEPSIE. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—Detactives are conducting a vigorous searchives are conducting a vigorous search for Dr. Freeman Stanislan O'Brien, a graduate of the University of Michigan, who mysteriously vanished with his automobile and medicine case on the eve of his wedding to Miss Agnes Olive Timmins, daughter of a wealthy retired shoe merchant of this city. The belief is expressed that Dr. O'Brien was robbed and murdered. Dr. O'Brien was last seen Monday after noon. ABRESTS ABE UNLIKELY PROSECUTOR SAYS HE CAN FIND NO LAW VIOLATIONS IN AK- RON ACCIDENT. Akron, O.—Likelihood that criminal prosecution or grand jury action will follow the Crystal restaurant collapse of Monday night in which nine people were killed, grew less when Prosecutor Charles P. Kennedy declared he had found no statute under which prosecution could be started. He will assist the coroner, E. S. Lyon, in fixing the blame at the inquest, Kennedy said, but he has not found so far any law violation. Plan Is Flourishing. Minneapolis, Minn.—The five-year program adopted last year, calling for 1,000,000 new members, a $2,000,000 endowment for retired pastors and missionaries, $6,000,000 for educational work and 5,000 American missionaries has made marked progress during the last few months, according to reports submitted to the northern Baptist convention by the general committee in charge of the program. The reports showed 106,791 accessions to the church. Skull Fractured. Dies. Cleveland, O.—The sudden shift of the steering wheel to avoid plunging over an embankment cost John Frienstein, a retired business man, his life, and severely injured three others, when his automobile overturned on the lower boulevard in Gordon park. Frienstein died at Glenville hospital several hours after the accident. His skull was fractured and he did not regain consciousness. The machine overturned when Frienstein made too wide a turn into a road leading from the lower boulevard in Gordon park. WILLIAM A. RODENBERG William A. Rodenberg, veteran Republican comprasion from East St. Louis, Ill., is a "come back" not so well known perhaps as "Uncle Joe" Cannon, but almost as prominent in his party's councils. In common with a number of other Republican legislators, he was defeated in the landslide of 1912, but now that he is back on top is frequently consulted by the other leaders of his party. OBSERVE FOUNDING OF RAILROAD Y. M. C. A. Cleveland, O.—On the exact spot in the Union station here where the Railroad Young Men's Christian Association of the World was founded 44 years ago last month, delegates to the 39th international convention of the Y. M. C. A. held commemorative service, under the auspices of the Quarter Century club of the railroad division. Significant of the activity of the Railroad Y. M. C. A. in an effort to bring about a better understanding between capital and labor, was the fact that from the same platform spoke Warren S. Stone, head of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and C. J. Hicks, executive assistant to the president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., the great western coal and iron property of the Rockefellers. Led by the New York Central railroad band, more than 400 delegates, most of them elderly men, marched from the Grays armory to the station. They filled the waiting room to overflow. Passengers waiting for or alighting from trains at the station looked on with interest as they saw the crowd of delegates and laymen gathered around the speakers' stand, which had been erected on the spot where Henry A. Sherwin of this city had stood when he organized the first railroad men's branch, April 11, 1872. Mr. Sherwin, chairman of the board of directors of the Sherwin-Williams Co., spoke on "The Days of 1872." He told of the difficulties experienced in starting the organization. "I remember as well as if it were yesterday, when we used to meet on the banks of the lake to the east of the station," said Mr. Sherwin, "Sometimes a little fringe of spectators, trainmen, porters and passengers coming from the yards used to gather around us and listen to our meetings." STRIKING BAKER KILLED PROPRIETOR OF SHOP, TWO SONS AND SON-IN-LAW CHARGED WITH MURDER. Cleveland, O.—One man was killed in a pitched battle in front of a bakery at 2535 Woodland-av, when strike pickets were attacked by four men, who burst through the bakery door in a rage over the halting of a woman customer by the strike guards. Menacing crowds instantly gathered, as an automobile containing the assailants streaked away from the store. Joseph Feld, who a moment before had been struck down in the fight and pummeled with a banner he was carrying, was picked up unconscious and died an hour later in Charity hospital. Bernard Rosen, owner of a chain of bakeries, his sons, Louis and M. Rosen, and his son-in-law, Philip Pincus, were arrested, charged with the murder. Arrest Six for Fires Boston, Mass.—Six more arrests were made in connection with the investigation of the so-called arson trust. Twelve indictments were returned by the grand jury, which has been looking into the circumstances surrounding a long list of fires of suspicious origin, and as a result the police took six men and women into custody. Picks Posy. Arrested. Akron, O.-It was Mothers' day and Martin Magny, 507 Bowery-et-ay was walking through Glendale cemetery. His own mother was dead. He thought of her grave back in Hungary and he remembered the sign he saw in the store the night before that every one would wear a flower Sunday in memory of his mother. Martin plucked a small snowdrop from a bush growing in the cemetery. Another man saw him, called an officer and Martin was arrested. He was charged with disorderly conduct. NINE ARE KILLED AND 22 INJURED Blast for New Building Wrecks Akren Restaurant at the Dinner Hour. SLIDES INTO EXCAVATION Explosion Causes Structure to Collapse and Diners Are Buried by Debris; Scene of Accident in Heart of Business District. Akron, Ohio.—As many as nine were killed and 22 injured here at 6:15 p. m. Monday, when the Crystal restaurant at Maln and Quarry streets, its foundations weakened by blasting in an excavation for the erection of a building just north of it, collapsed and slid into the huge hole in the ground. Nine are known to be dead, six of them being identified. Twenty-two injured lie in the City and City hospitals. One man, the father of a child killed in the wreck, is missing. Blast Blamed for Crash. A dynamic charge set off 50 feet away from the restaurant a few minutes before the disaster is believed to have been the direct cause. The crash came in the midst of dinner, when the restaurant was crowded and when thousands were on the streets during the evening rush. One of the survivors, A. E. Blair, Cleveland, who was among the dozen or more to escape unhurt, said approximately 40 were eating in the restaurant when the catastrophe occurred. It was the usual supper time crowd. Persons were being served, others were finishing their meals, chatting across the table tops. The wall of the building fronting Main street began to tremble. Men and women looked up. Faces blanched as the front wall began to fall. There was a grinding crash. Women shrieked, tables were overturned, chairs shot across the floor. The front part of the building gave way with a grinding crash. The diners started in a terror-strenken mass toward the back of the restaurant. Gus Cerris, one of the proprietors, dived for the front door as the collapse began and escaped, springing clear of the falling timber and into the street. The huddling, hurrying body of diners went smashing toward the back door as the remainder of the building began to cave in. There were cries of agony, shouts of fright and calls for help to one another as part of the crowd was caught near the center of the floor and crushed under the debris. Some successfully dashed into the kitchen, and a dozen, perhaps, managed to get outside. George Cerris, the other proprietor of the establishment, was standing in the rear, but escaped. "I saw the front window crack in two," he said, white-faced and shaken, after the work of rescuing was well under way. He continued that without another thought he made a spring toward the front, leaping along over the sinking floor. He escaped through the front entrance. Rush to Rescue. Every ambulance in the city responded when the alarm was sounded; police and firemen rushed to the scene and, pushing their way through the gathering crowds, began the task of saving the living and extricating the dead. Volunteers by scores flung themselves into the wreckage to help. The rescuers were aided in the work by cries and groans from the wreckage. As fast as the dead and injured could be found they were hurried away in ambulances. No sooner was one ambulance gone than another departed with its injured and dying freight. One woman, eating supper at a table with her husband, crawled underneath the table when she first felt the quake of the building. Bracing herself with the table legs against the wall of the building, she was found unscratched when the shock was over. Her husband was found unconscious in the center of the debris and was taken to People's hospital. Discovers Substitute for Gasoline. Sandusky, O.-Harrison G. Shope, a janitor here, demonstrated a compound he claims to have discovered which, he declares, will in due time be adopted as a substitute for gasoline. Shope says he has been working on his discovery for seven years. Burn Up $46,000,000. Mexico City.—Bundles of paper currency amounting to $46,000,000 was burned in the courtyard of the national palace here with government officials and bankers interested spectators. The money was part of the of the old Vera Cruz issue. Mutiny in War Camp. Ottawa, Ontario. — Four Austrian prisoners of war were killed and 15 were wounded as a result of an outbreak in the interment camps at Kapnaksaking, on the transcontinental railway, 60 miles west of Cochrane, according to reports which reached the military department. It was said at the militia department that for some time the prisoners at the camps had been manifesting a spirit of inubordination to the military authorities. The revolt was quelled quickly and the camps are reported quiet. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS THRIFTY BUSINESS MAN AND RELIGIOUS LEADER Rise of Rev. Dr. Thomas H. B. Walker of Palatka, Fla. Palatka, Fla.—Palatka justly claims one of the most energetic and useful men of the race in the person of the Rev. Dr. Thomas H. B. Walker, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church and a general all round Christian worker. He is yet very young in age, but the amount of work he has done puts him in the class of a veteran. As a minister of the gospel he has served the largest charges in the state, rendering good and efficient service. As a preacher he stands second to none in the state. His work has largely been in the Florida and South Florida conferences of the Methodist Episcopal church. Because of his work and worth to the church and state his conference selected him as the head of the delegations to the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in Saratoga, N. Y. As a writer and author he takes his place among the best. He has turned out several books. "The Unknown Man," "Revelation and Epic," "The President of Liberia," "Bobby, the Victorious Preacher," and several others have taken their place as literary standards. While others are writing photo plays and putting them on canvas Dr. Walker is as busy writing about the Negro and throwing his progress on canvas. He is showing to the world the real progress made by the Negro race from slavery to the present time, and in this he is rendering a great service to the race and helping to make sentiment for it. "Down in Dixie" is the subject of a play which is now being thrown on canvas and shows the wonderful organic forces at work in the southland for racial development. This has been witnessed by thousands of people. It deals with real life among our people in business, in school, in church and in societies, pleading at the bar, preaching from the sacred rostrum and strugging to get a foothold on the earth. Dr. Walker is mindful of the fact that slavery once existed in this country and that the race has only been free about fifty years; hence he brings before the people the great emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. Then he shows some of the men who have made good in life, some ex-slaves and sons and daughters of slaves. His name is perhaps known better to the public as the founder of the St. Joseph Ald society, an organization that is but eightteen years old, yet has a membership of 65,000. It pays out annually about $250,000 to its members who become sick and to the widows and orphans of deceased members. Through his preaching many have been brought into the church. Then through his doctrine of self help, industry, honesty and reliability many young people have been led into the buying of homes and beautifying them. He is actually a product of the doctrine he preaches. In Jacksonville, where lives his family, he owns some good real estate, and his home is one of the prettiest and finest owned by any member of the race. With a desire to reach the unreached and to help his race to higher things, Dr. Walker is forging to the front and is daily on the firing line of racial effort. While in Saratoga Dr. Walker exhibited many pictures showing our progress along various lines of activity. OPEN DOOR FOR CHILDREN. National League Offers Scholarships to School Lads and Lasses. Through a responsible local organization in New York the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been requested to recommend two worthy young colored boys or girls for scholarships of $150 each for the school year 1916-17. These scholarships are intended for children who have become eligible for working papers and who would be compelled to give up their school work in order to supplement the earnings of their parents or guardians. Payments for these scholarships will be made in weekly installments to the children themselves just as though wages to this amount were received for employment. At the same time the children will be able to pursue some selected course of training that will fit them better for their life's work. Applications for these scholarships, made only by children whose school records have been satisfactory, may be filed with Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban league, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York. Hampton Loses Baseball Game Victory came as sweet revenge recently when the fast baseball team of Howard defeated Hampton 4 to 2. Joy reigned supreme in the Howard camp, as that was the first time this season that a Howard university team has won from Hampton. The capital city boys had a more seasoned team and excelled in batting and base running. Both teams did super fielding. The pitching of both Hill for Howard and Wright for Hampton was good, each being equal to the occasion in critical moments. New Jersey Republicans Elect Cozart. At the recent primary elections held in Trenton, N. J., William Cozart was elected as one of the delegates to the national Republican convention, to be held in Chicago in June. Mr. Cozart defeated his opponent by a vote of 250. The colored Republicans of the state are showing great interest in the coming presidential campaign. IN HONOR DIVISION STEADY ADVANCE IN EDUCATION UNDER ABLE MANAGEMENT. Institution at Jacksonville Holds Interesting Founders' Day Exercises With Large Attendance—President Collier and Board of Trustees Are Planning For Larger Equipment. Jacksonville, Fla.—To develop thinkers in the race is the effort being put forth by the Florida Baptist college here, which celebrated its twenty-fourth anniversary recently in shape of a founders' day. The exercises were held in the chapel of the college in the presence of a large number of people PROFESSOR N. W. COLLIER from various parts of the state and some from other sections of the country. Like many of the institutions operated by the race, it had its origin among the "fathers." Many of them, being themselves deprived of an education, desired to have their sons and daughters take their places among the thinkers. The growth and influence of this institution have been marvelous. It stands among the great institutions of the country. The school was started in the lecture room of the Bethel Baptist Institutional church, with Revs. M. W. Gilbert, D. D.; J. T. Brown, D. D., and Miss Sarah A. Blocker as teachers. When Dr. Gilbert left Dr. Brown was made president and remained at the head of the school for two years. It soon outgrew the church space, and a site was purchased on which to erect a larger building. In the meantime a brilliant young man, Professor Nathaniel W. Collier of Augusta, Ga., was called into the work as one of the professors, and when Dr. Brown resigned he was made president. In this position he has labored successfully for a number of years. Under the administration of Professor Collier a fine building for boys has been erected and the student body increased to over 500. This number would be larger if there was room to accommodate them. Money has been raised looking forward to the erection of another building, yet the institution feels to some extent that it will be necessary to have even more room, and to that end the officers are planning. The participants on the program at the recent exercises were Revs. C. Brewer, J. P. Davis, W. D. Vann, Charles H. Anderson and Miss J. A. Junus. The speakers were Charles Stewart, A. M. D. D., of Chicago, and the Rev. Dr. S. B. Rogers, secretary of the board of missions for the white Baptist convention of the state. Dr. J. E. Ford, pastor of the church where the school was started some years ago, also took an active part. The first address was delivered by Dr. Stewart, who said some helpful things to the people. In referring to the late Mr. LeBourveau he said: "God has always provided friends for us among the white people of this country, and he will continue to do so if we will be friends to ourselves and take advantage of every possible opportunity to help ourselves. "Our fathers had faith in you young people. They believed that with proper training they would make good and would make the world know that they lived. "This gathering tells of racial pride, of what we are doing for ourselves, and I am glad to see that our friends come in to look on us. We are going to continue to make the world sit up and take notice. Your work tells." The Rev. Dr. Rogers delivered a strong, practical address. He congratulated the race upon its progress and then told of some of the faults which stood in the way of racial progress. He spoke of the lack of racial ideals, the spirit of co-operation in order to rise to higher things in life. "You do not hold up your great men as ideals," he said, "and this will always stand in the way of your progress." Special mention was made of Miss Sarah A. Blocker, who is the only teacher that was with the organization of the school. She has devoted her life to the work and is in charge of the girls.

SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1916. "Let us have faith that right makes mage, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our work to stand it."—Abraham Lincoln. That is an awful "wallop" the Colonel hands the President. Senator W. E. Borah was a long time finding out that President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's policy in Mexico is "humilating." About every one else had reached this conclusion, many months ago. Recently thirty Afro-Americans joined the Catholic church in Kansas City, Mo., at one time, says the Sacramento (Cal.) Catholic Herald, April 29, 1916. This ought to start some people to thinking, if not doing more. Rear Admiral Caperton was ordered to Santo Domingo with the cruiser, "Prairie," and a strong force of marines to put a stop to the activities of factional leaders seeking to overthrow the Jimínez Government. A study of Woodrow's policy with respect to Santo Domingo has impressed us with the belief that he is confident the United States can "lick" that country. The only Afro-American student delegate to the International Y. M. C. A. meet which adjourned, Tuesday evening, came to Cleveland from the West Virginia Collegiate Institute. It is said that the Y. M. C. A.'s Afro-American general secretaries discourage their attendance in favor of a race meeting these secretaries promote that is held in the South, each year. Surely this cannot be so. An A. M. E. Conference by a good majority favors Theodore Roosevelt for President. Guess The Cleveland Gazette's editor will deck his hat with fighting feathers, sharpen up his old rusty tomahawk and go to work.-Pioneer Press. No danger of Theodore "Brownsville" nomination, brother. The party does not want to commit political suicide by nominating such a man as Roosevelt, Burton or Borah. Down in Oklahoma they are refusing to allow our voters to register. A law of that state, as well as most of the others, requires this before one can vote. The U. S. Supreme court knocked out Oklahoma's disfranchisement law, some months ago, and this is their latest scheme to rob our people in that state of their right of franchise. Protests have been filed at Washington, D. C., because a federal election will be held in all the states this fall. The Ohio Supreme court decided, Tuesday, that Bishop Farrelly, of Cleveland, can erect a (Catholic) school building on lots he purchased in a suburb of this city notwithstanding the fact that he purchased them with the restriction that they be used only for residence purposes. The case was lost in the lower courts and the Supreme court, Tuesday, declined to review it. Owners and agents, in Ohio, who always make it a rule to include an insulting restriction, usually directed against the Jewish race and our race, when selling property will do well to remember this Adolph Weise-Bishop Farrelly decision. There is little danger of Afro-Americans forgetting it. EAST INDIES FIRST. The British East Indies got a sample of what American free trade meant to the sweat of their brows during the eight months ended February, 1915, when they sent $2,000,000 worth of goods into our markets. That tickled them so that they spat on both hands and went at us right. During the eight months ended February, 1916, they shipped us goods to the value of $4,000,000, an increase of 80 per cent. We are all worked up just now tending to the butcher business in Europe. That will be over before very long and then we will take a slant at our own market. One thing about the European war, a man dies quickly, but if the dawn of peace finds us with a Democratic tariff law on our hands some of us will be in for a little slow starvation. Rations were getting pretty skimpy before the European cockpit required attention, but we can't depend on a world war to come along every time a Democratic Con --- gress hands our business to the for eigner. THE DYE PROBLEM. The simple, boiled-down fact of the whole dyestuff situation in its relation to the tariff is that owing to the inability of users of dye and makers of dyes to get together, a rate large enough to encourage the building up of a home industry in dye-stuffs has never heretofore been agreed upon, and as a result we have depended on Germany for our supply. Now we cannot get dyes on account of the British blockade and we are paying the penalty of our refusal to compromise among ourselves. We now see the necessity of making our own dyes, building up a tremendous industry, employing a large force of labor, and being independent. Now the value of protection in this industry, at least, has by reason of crushing force of circumstance, impressed the minds of our more intelligent Democrats. Now "American capital and American enterprise are both seriously considering the possibility of entering the field," because there is a general feeling in business circles that the life of the Democracy is a short one; that the war will afford ample protection for some months more, and that the Republican party will put the industry on its feet in 1917. AFRO-AMERICANS BARRED! After two months of vigorous campaign to recruit the 20,000 additional men authorized last March by a special act of Congress, a total of 6,718 have been enlisted in the U. S. army. At this rate, it will require four months longer, till the middle of September, that enlistment should prove so slow and difficult at a time when prospective recruits have the unusual incentive of immediate service with the army in Mexico or at the border is considered remarkable by the war department. In view of the joint House and Senate conference committee tee report, recommending a regular army of 206,000 men and officers, the recruiting problem confronting the war department, if the report is ap proved, as it probably will be, is rendered vastly more difficult. The presen enlisted strength of the army is less than 100,000 and yet the war department, even during the stress of an international crisis and by exerting of extraordinary efforts, is able to raise less than 7,000 men in two months. The four regiments of Afro-Americans in the U. S. army are full, say the recruiting officers, and only former members of these regiments are being enlisted at this time, and for them. No Afro-American can be enlisted to help make up the more than 13,000 needed for that 20,000 because the federal law only provides for the four Afro-American regiments and the present southern-controlled Democratic Congress refused to make provision for any more. This bars our men. Let war come and how quickly there would come a change in this. A TRANSPARENT SCHEME With bold words it is announced from Washington that our troops are not to be withdrawn from Mexico, and the whole country breathed a sigh of relief and muttered "At last!" But now it appears that all this exultation and exaltation was in vain and that the troops are to be withdrawn after all. They will not come out all at once, but they will be withdrawn nevertheless. Our base will at once be moved northward, and from time to time it will be transferred nearer and nearer to the frontier until, after a few weeks or months our men will all be at home again. Villa will not have been taken, either dead or alive. No reporation will have been made for the outrageous attack upon the town of Columbus—not even an expression of regret from the Carranza government that they had permitted the bands to elude the de facto forces who were supposed to have been standing between our border and the rebel troops. The whole thing is a transparent scheme to enable the administration to stick to its slogan, "He kept us out of war." It makes no difference whether our flag is insulted—as at Tampico; or whether our people are murdered—as at Columbus. Woodrow Wilson must be permitted to pose as the dove of peace. In Mexico it is thoroughly believed by the masses of the people that we came away from Vera Cruz because the Mexican leaders ordered us to quit. After the withdrawal of our forces from Northern Mexico as is now contemplated, the credulous Mexicans will again be told that we left because we have been told to. The notion of our cowardice which the Mexicans already hold will be strengthened. All this, it must be remembered, in order to furnish the Democratic party with a campaign slogan. SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS That the N. A. A. C. P. and Other Race Organizations Should Consider. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Is it a fact that the Negroes of the North and East are deaf and blind and can not read? If this is not true, then why are they sitting still and not raising their voices in protest against the mobbing of Negroes in the Southland? Our President can send notes to Germany, and troops to Mexico and Santo Domingo, but not one word can he utter against lynch-murder and other forms of lawlessness in this country. Monday, the daily papers announced the burning of a mere child, a boy of 16 or 18, Jesse Washington, by a Texas mob of 20,000. Is Germany's crime greater, is Mexico's greater? How much longer are the Negroes of the North and East to remain silent in the face of such crimes in the 'Lone Star State'? And we have lawyers, doctors, other professional and great men! What are our so-called national organizations doing? E. DANIELS. Little Better Than Work. "Why don't you go to work? There is plenty of it to be bad. I should think an able-bodied chap like you would be ashamed to beg for a living." "Mister, begging is no snap. I have to work eight hours a day at it to get enough to live on."

The vote was 113 to 43. DOINGS OF THE RACE Ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback was 79 years old (or rather young). May 10. Bishop Isaiah Benj. Scott, our only M. E. Church bishop, has retired. He was a missionary bishop and located in Africa. Prof. W. Bruce Evans of Washington, D. C., has lost his suit for reinstatement as principal of Armstrong Manual Training school, that city. Ex-Lieut. Henry O. Flipper, writing from El Paso, Tex., denies that he has ever had any connection with Mexican "armies" or that he even knows Villa or Carranza. He says he is and always has been loyal to this country. Any man who knows the facts knows full well that for every white woman assaulted by a Negro man, there are a number of Colored girls who are seduced by white men.—Dr. W. Weatherford (white southerner). J. H. Williams, (white), age 39, of Enid, Okla., obtained a license to marry Olea Wells, a member of the Fort S.C. School, reputed to be worth $60,000, and they were married by a justice of the peace at Wellington, Kan., Sunday. Robert R. Church, son of Col. "Bob." Church, (deceased), Memphis, has been elected a delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention to meet in Chicago, early next month. Dr. Edw. D. Williston is one of the two delegates from the District of Columbia. We wanted and intended, last week, to say something in favor of the Hon. Harry C. Smith anit his and Prof. DuBois's wrangle over the use of the latter in the June Crisis numbers the former as race-lover and defender of his people, we shall let them "make up, hug and kiss."—Martinsburg (W. Va). Pioneer Press. Mrs.ella S. James, N. Y. City, recently deceased, wills $100,000 to Hampton, Va. Institute $100,000 to the Association for the Benefit of the Colored Orphans, N. Y. City, and gave $25,000 to Major Moton, principal for Tuskegee, Ala., N. & I. Institute just before she died, April 28. Mrs. Mary Tuskegee, N. Y. City, received, a member of the race, wills $500 to the Brooker T. Washington Memorial fund. There are two, and only two ends before the American Negro, and at one of them he must finally arrive. One is the status of full citizenship and the other is a condition of serfdom. There is no middle ground. If the Negro in this country continues to be a serfdom, he must reach the former. When he stops working and fighting, he will gradually sink into the latter. It is a question of full citizenship or civil death. Should the Negro either from discouragement or bitterness say there is no hope, and cease to work and fight, he would be making the choice of civil death.—James W. Johnson in N. Y. Age. Remember, after three hundred years of unrequited toil, the Colored race began with no money and few friends. Today they have 331,762 M. E. Church members, 3,534 churches valued at $6,681,701 and 1,344 parsonages value at $1,138,777. During the past four years they have contributed to missionary causes of our Church $297,777, an average of $75,000 a year. Besides this they have raised over a million and a half dollars for M. E. Church and an church supporter. They have made, too, a net gain of nearly 10,000 members over the preceding years—Bishop Hamilton in his address to the recent M. E. Church general conference at Saratoga Springs, N. Y. According to Mr. Cutter (Lynch Law), of the 3,337 lynchings between 1882 and 1903, 2,060 were Negroes, 1,169 were whites; 108 were foreigners and Indians. Forty of the Colored and twenty-three of the whites were women. Of all the Colored men, only 9 per cent of them were lynched on the CHARGE of assault on white women; 38 per cent were lynched on charges of murder; 10 per cent, on charges, only, of minor offenses; 5 per cent, arson, and the remaining 8 per cent, on charges of unclassified and petty crimes, and, indeed, in some cases, on charges of murder, offenses, and different charges, varying from jitting a girl and charging stones up to kid-napping. In his speech, on "Lynching," Saturday, to the A. M. E. general conference, at Philadelphia, Ex-Register of the U. S. treasury, Rev. W. T. Vernon, severely arraigned the federal government, and said: "Long before Washington was at Valley Forge the lives of the Indians had had their freedom of this country. Crispus Attucks was killed in the streets of Boston by the first shot fired by the British, and Peter Salem had killed Major Pitcairn, and had died, too, in the interest of American independence. Fully 5,000 Negro soldiers were at Valley Forge. They suffered as many hardships as any white soldier, and we had to believe that we are willing to stand by the flag and the country, and yet we are lynched, burned, segregated and discriminated against." Bishop I. B. Scott, of Liberia, Africa, was assigned to "The Worden," one of the hotels in Saratoga, N. Y., the proprietor of which is an Irishman. Bishop Scott is the only bishop of color on the M. E. Church bench. At mealtime the bishop improvised a screen after he had taken his seat at the table. One of the white delegates discovering his segregated position inquired the meaning of this singular arrangement, when the Bishop replied that he did not know just how it came about; he just found himself there and that was that. The white delegates then took up the matter with the proprietor, who refused to alter the arrangement. Whereupon the entire white delegation with Bishop Scott walked out, baggage in hand. This is just what should have been done. The white delegates of infiduous distinction between cultivated Christian gentleness—Fallimore (Vd.) Compton wealth.

M. C. A. convention which closed its several days' sessions, Tuesday evening, Prof Byrd Prillerman, president of the W Va. Collegiate Institute being possibly the most prominent. He paid The Gazette sanctum several very pleasant visits and dined with editor, Monday noon. The professor spent, Tuesday in Oberlin. Evangelist Harris of Lexington, Ky. preached at Mt.

W.'s club, Tues day evening. It is clear that the practical thing, the expedient thing, the necessary thing before the Negro is the gaining of full American citizenship, and he has got to use every means within his power to achieve his purpose. It takes only common sense to see that this can never be done if he himself renounces his claims and title to edifice. He has done this, and this is a white man's country. James W. Johnson in N. Y. Age. The "jim-crow" Y. M. C. A. movement, re-inaugurated recently for the "stenth" time in recent years by newcomers in the city, received a "solar plexis" blow from Attorney Chas. Sumner Sutton in an address on the "Advisability of a Negro Y. M. C. A. in Cleveland" delivered to the Dunbary Literary society, Tuesday evening, followed by a talk on the topic followed in a discussion, that showed unmistakably that Cleveland Afro Americans will have nothing of the kind. A bullet from Patrolman Scherer's revolver instantly killed Arthur Ody when he tried to escape, early Sunday, from a group of eight prisoners Scherer and Patrolman Meier had taken in a raid on a dice game, at a house at 2677 E. 23d St. Several of the players, all of whom were Negroes, escaped. Ody lived at 1259 E. 12th St. His body was taken to the county morgue and the other two were taken up in police head quarters. The local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. should investigate this killing. It seems unjustified. Geo. H. Turner was stopped at the entrance of the Statler hotel, recently, by the footman and told to go to the side entrance. He was en route to care for one of his customers, a guest of the hotel. George says the man put his hands on him, etc., and refused to allow him to enter the front entrance, so he returned to his office and notified his customer by phone what he failed to appear. This man took it up with the hotel management, but there was no response. He should have had that footman arrested for assault and battery. That is one way to teach him a much-needed lesson. In the case of Cory M. E. church against Rufus S. Justice, charged with the embezzlement of $400 of the church's funds when an officer of it, the grand jury, on Tuesday, returned "no bill", on the ground that the church had accepted Justice's note and a chattel-mortgage for the amount of his indebtedness to it. An effort is being made to have the grand jury reopen the case, on the ground that the church's acceptance of the note and chattel-mortgage does not, under the law, estop criminal proceedings against Justice—Rufus S. Attorney Chas. S. Sutton has filed a brief to that effect with County Prosecutor Cyrus S. Locher. At an Attucks Republican club meeting in Elks' hall, last week Fri- J. S.

Announcement is made that on Thursday and Friday, June 1 and 2, Ringling Bros. circus will give afternoon and night performances at Cleveland. The famous showmen are this season presenting an all new and wonderful program. The tremendous fairyland spectacle, "Cinderella," will appeal to both young and old. More than 100,000 attendees in it is easily the biggest spectacle Ringling Bros. have ever staged and its glorious "Ballet of the Fairies," with 300 dancing girls, is in itself worth going many miles to see. Following "Cinderella" 400 areneic artists appear in the main tent program. Because of the great European war the Ringlings have secured scores of circus performers never before seen in America. An entire trained animal show has been made a part of the main tent program this season. The menagerie now number 100,000 participants in the largest including "Big Ring." The largest pachydermon, have been increased to 41 and almost 800 horses are carried. There will be 60 clowns and a big free three-mile street parade show day morning. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Louia V. Jones, a student of the Boston Conservatory of Music, for a copy of the Boston Daily Herald of May 9, which contains more than a column account (beginning on page 1) of the presentation of "Othello" by a company of N. Y. Afro-Americans in the Boston Herald. Opera house, the Boston Herald, May 8, 1916, presented the play in their home city, several weeks ago, when one of England's most prominent actors witnessed it and delivered an address in which he, like the Boston Herald, praised highly those presenting the play, noting particularly the finished performance of the leading character, "Othello," which was impersonated by a very proper Grand of the Theater Sterling Wright. The latter has had the assistance of some of the best dramatic teachers in the "Metropolis." Says the Herald critic, in the account referred to above: "Frank Brown as 'Roderigo', and Otto Foster as 'Cassto', shared the honors with the other principals. If less dextrous with rapiers than members of their race have the reputation of being more frequent use, nothing could have exceeded the enjoyment that their fatal duel in the last act gave the audience." A leader of the alleged "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. movement went into a saloon near the Motel Moreland, last week, and asked for a glass of beer. The bar-tender said: "You have had enough." As a matter of fact, the "jim-crow" Negro had not had any, that day. He journeyed a few doors further to a restaurant in which several members infiltrated, and there told his "troubles." All, including the white proprietor of the restaurant, told him what to do to punish the proprietor of the saloon for the refusal and Lewis D. Todd who was among the number volunteered to go into the place with him so he could be a witness to the refusal and help him when the case came up in court, and he promised to meet Todd the next day for that purpose but failed to do so. A day or two following this Todd says he met the individual, and he made various excuses for his failure to keep the appointment but renewed his promise to do so but had not kept the same when Todd saw a representative of The Gazette and gave him this week. It is not surprising that such a member of the race would want to help establish more color-line establishments in more city-line is necessary. More could be said but it is not necessary.

It was unfortunate that this concert was not properly advertised so many more could have known of it and attended. Thief Shows Originality. Thieves are not common in Alaska, but when one does appear he generally exhibits an originality of conduct difficult for less accomplished folks to comprehend.

Exposes More of the Chicago Defender's Foolish Stories About Afro-Americans It Claimed Were in Mexican "Armies." Prior to the break between Carranza and Villa, Carranza ordered discharged from his armies the few foreigners there were in it and it was done promptly. There was a Negro lieutenant in Huerta's army at Jaurez. He had never been an American soldier, but was a fugitive from justice and is now in the Texas penitentiary, where he belongs. There was a major in Villa's army, a Colored man who previously kept a hotel at Torreon, a very fine man, but he is now at his home in the United States. There was also a Negro in the Mayortena army in Sonora, who operated a machine gun. It was said he was a deserter, but this was later denied. In all of Vila's campain, in the break with Carranza, there were no foreigners, Negroes or others, in either army. Ex-Lt. Henry O. Flipper, E.I. Paso, Tex., in Washington (D. C.) Eagle, Continuing, Mr. Flipper says: "The writer has two perfect ears; he was never mutilated in the slightest degree by white cadets at West Point, the correspondent doubtless referring to Cadet Johnson Chesnut Whittaker, who was reported to have suffered that indignity, after Flipper had been graduated and had left West Point. Gen. Fred Funston is not a West Point, was not at West Point. Funston was not connected with even connected with the army in any capacity at that time. Flipper was never 'whipped and stripped,' was never 'tried by hazers,' never sentenced in a hazing court-martial to have his tongue cut out and his ears chopped off.' Neither ear was ever cut off nor he was removed from West Point. On the contrary, his career at West Point was practically free of molestation of any kind, being hazed, in fact, far less than his white classmates, and was graduated with honors and served five full years as a Second Lieutenant in the 10th U. S. Cavalry. Flipper is an officer of the Sierra Mining Co, and located by it at El Paso. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." One of the Best Criticisms of the Infamous Photoplay to Appear in Print to Date. Jacksonville, Ill.—On Sunday, April 16, there appeared in the Jacksonville Daily Journal what is regarded as the most forceful denunciation of "The Birth of a Nation," as well as the most timely comment to the work of the Afro-American as a citizen, that has yet been presented. The writer, J. M. Swales, (white) says: "The picturization of the events during the reconstruction period from 1868 to 1872 is one gigantic, colossal lie, gilded for the present generation to swallow. It is a masterpiece of misrepresentation and a reflection on the Union soldier who gave the best that was in him and in so doing clipped off the best four years of his life. It is also a reflection on the character of the real sons of 'Southern chivalry' and the Southern character in general. Those who lived through that period of history knew that the 'Rew' Thomas Trew at one time an eminent skypilot, quit the pupil and turned to the literary field because there was more in it for him than trying to bring sinners to the mourner's bench. Like many other of his lik he is out for the money, and 'the sinners be blowed.' "The Birth of a Nation" should be suppressed for the harm that it is doing not only in perverting history, but in infading the passions of those who would like to forget the horrors of that awful period of the sixties, especially the unparalleled atrocities carried out in Andersonville and other dens of horror in the South. We seem to have reached the point where would be quite the proper caper for the Union soldier to apologize for the things he did when called to the colors by the great emancipator more than half a century ago. I wonder if the fact ever occurred to the author of the "Clansman" that if he and his lik (meaning the Ku Klux Klan) had not fired on the flag at Fort Sumter five and fifty years ago this month there would have been no necessity for the four years of reconstruction and the dark days of blood and death that followed in their train?

Quality Service SHAPED LIKE TULIP SUMMER CORSETS IN CHIFFON PELERINE EASY TO MAKE SEASON'S DRESSY SKIRTS ARE PARTICULARLY CHARMING. Sketch Shows One of the Most Modern Designs, Suitable for Use In All of the Light Cotton Materials. Don't you think that dressy skirts look like tulips dipped in the dyes of the rainbow and culled from the fields of Holland, where one fringe of petals overlaps the next? The skirt design gives just such a charming impression, especially as it is built in the wonderful color combi- : : : Tulip-Effect Skirt. nations that are tow in vogue. For instance, the upper overskirts of pink ish-mauve chiffon, over a pink chiffon loose facing that sends a glow through the outer skirt without making it pink. Under this falls a chiffon skirt of a deeper shade of wistaria over a silk skirt of changeable pink and purple, with a general tone of purple. It is quite the fashion to mingle pins, fire colors and purples so that the whole garment looks like a design in orchid, dipped in purple shadows and sunny highlights. One must be an artist to know how to mingle colors effectively, so that you will find it much more simple to drape a full chiffon or volle overskirt above a silk skirt. It is also fashionable to make the overskirt of flowered taffeta draped over a skirt of plain taffeta of the same general color scheme, as, for instance, rose-colored taffeta where roses form the color plan of the overdress. Combine Lightness of Weight With Wearing Qualities That May Be Called Remarkable. One of the daintiest accessories for the bride or bridesmaid for that matter is the corset of flowered chiffon. No woman who possessed a bouse of the best quality chiffon but knows how it wears, how it washes and cleans and bears strain and pressure out of all proportion to its apparent fragility. The new corsets made of three thicknesses of chiffon are boned with transparent composite reeds and fastened with backalite clamps. A great amount of hand work is put upon them, and a small collection exhibited recently in a New York shop was embroidered with sprays of blossoms and trimmed with real lace. A very pretty new sports model is laced down both sides of the front about four inches apart. A narrow panel of silk elastic is inset at the sides to give perfect freedom. The newest models are rather high in the bust, with a prominent incurve at the waist and distinctively shorter in the hips, but they curve down shield fashion back and front. Another innovation is the taffeta corsest made of pastel-tinted or pompour-flowered silk to match the elaborate plaited and ruffled petticoats of the season. The corsets are to be worn beneath the thin summer dresses without any camisole and with merely a net underbodice to veil their charms. Corsets of silver cloth, while they were very much used during the winter, are not shown for summer, and upon the whole the silver lace camisoles to be worn under evening dresses of black and colored tulle are rather more chic. But the line of the corset top, the thick portion of the camisole and the upper edge of the bodice or girdle are identical and the fashion for the very close-sheated figure, especially at the waist line, tends to elmi- Frills and Puffings Will Quickly Convert the Simple Elbow Cape Into a Furbelow. To make a pelerine is no difficult matter, especially if the silk chosen is soft and bright. Pussy willow and soirée are perhaps the best, but they are rather expensive and a great many of the imported capes are of taffeta, which, with modeling, achieves most bewitching effects. The simplest little cape is the circular one corded three times around the shoulders, yoke fashion, and trimmed with a double box-plaited ruching or a pink raffle, but puffs, ribbons and laces may be added and an ostrich collar makes a pretty neck trimming. Those being worn most in Paris are of light color, although it is said that black ones will increase in popularity as the season of thin dresses advances. Gray shot with pink or turquoise, beige with nile color or brown with rose are lovely combinations, and they tone up a somber one-piece dress amazingly. This design is also suitable for use with swishes, lawns and other thin cotton material. It would be more attractive to make the overdress of plain or dotted ruffles, edged with lace or with narrow ruffles, and drape this over with a skirt made of plain swishe or mull and trimmed with many small ruffles or with several rows of ruffles edged with lace. A still more simple plan would be to buy three or four yards of thin embroidered founcing and make the lower skirt of that. You will find, however, that good swifling of such width costs a good deal, although it is very beautiful, and narrow ruffles of swiss cost next to nothing, while pretty imitations of valenciennes lace are inexpensive.—Washington Star. JACKETS OF COLORED SILKS Made Without Sleeves, They Most Effectively Dress Up Last Year's White Gowns. Bright-colored silk sleeveless jackets, reminiscent of the '60's, which are being worn with white dresses of net and organdie, are some of the prettiest fashions of many years. These little coats are edged with double guilts of pinked or pigtaffet and are very full and ruffly around the hips. They hold possibilities for the made-over dress, too. A tumbled and scant-skirted net dress of last year can be washed, hung round with four or five ruffles of fresh material edged with belle ribbon of velvet or satin in a favorite color, say cherry, and then a yard and a half of cherry taffeta will make a little sleeveless coat. This will conceal the waist's cut, and if the sleeves are kimone, so much the better. Another pretty fashion is the sleeveless jumper of crepe or chiffon. This is usually in bright colors also, but can be made in pastel shades for semi-evening dresses and with its little pocketed peplum, sometimes embroidered and sometimes beaded, it is sure to be used by the younger set, as it completely changes the look of a white dress. With waist tied in by very long cords and tassels reaching to the bottom of the skirt, or by narrow ribbons in different shades of the same color, forming bunches over the distended hips, this little Peggy blouse is indeed a dainty nomy. Sports Coats Are Long. Sports coats reach to the knees Many of them are finished at the bottom with a wide hem turned up and caught to the coat by groups of buttons. Blazer Stripes a Feature. Blazer stripes are a feature of the new cottonts and they are effectively used for coat collars and for sports coast and suits. nate all unnecessary layers of material, be they ever so fragile. LIGHT MORNING FROCK An appropriate gown for morning wear on the hot forenores of the coming summer. It is of dotted volle, having two flouces, and the waist and tunic are in one. Full length sleeves are worn. A wide Dutch collar of white organdie and a bow of satin with two dangling streamers complete the costume. Some of the latest capes have arm places and shaped shoulders just like the sung little wraps of the early '80s, but the prettiest are those which bellow around the elbows and look a great deal more voluminous than they are. In Dainty Colors One of the attractive features of the newest washable blouses is that they are in dainty, almost pastel colors. Of lawn, batiste or handkerchief linen, they have frills, "collets," sailor or high collars, outlined with narrow valenciennes or filet" lace. The sleeves are set in and a slight bishop puff at the lower part is gathered into a cuff. In the New Green Stockings Green plaid with brown are some of the new silk stockings. Green, it is said, was the favorite stocking color of colonial Americans, and any glance at an inventory of a colonial dame's clothes will bear the statement out. So we are perhaps going back ward in our liking for green hose. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1916 --- ALL WEARING CAPES PARISIENNES SHOW FONDNESS FOR THE ADORNMENT. Certainly gives Youthful Aspect to the Figure—Usually Made in the Same Material as the Dress—One of the Newest Toques. All the leading dressmakers in the Rue de la Paix and Place Vendonda are showing capes, long and short, in large quantities, writes a Paris correspondent. The shoulder cape is already amazingly popular. It gives a youthful aspect to the figure and it is exceedingly convenient and practical. Capes of this order are made in the same material as the dress or of black silk, with a high collar lined with chinchilla, or some other "summer" fur. Recently I saw a charming woman wearing a regular highwayman's caped-coat. The material was bottle-green faced cloth and the garment was three-quarter length. At either THE HAT Touge of "Midnight-Blue" Chip With Flat Extracts of Mulberry Taffeta Lined With Silver. side there were big pockets with flaps and the sleeves had turned-back cuffs to match. Then there are the triple capes. On one there was a high collar lined with sable and the skirt was made of black corded silk and plaited from waist to hem. With this attractive costume a very high toque made of black silk and black chip was worn. At one side there was a cluster of waxed flowers and fruits—all of a miniature size, a pure white gardenia, a bright red apple, a blackberry bramble and some dark ivy leaves. Doucet is making a number of flounced skirts. Some of these are almost ankle length. All are immensely full at the hem. For example, a lovely Doucet model, which was universally admired by the American buyers, is the spring opening. This dress was composed of black taffeta and the flounces on the skirt—there were three of graduated widths—were bordered with a new make of black straw, which is exceedingly supple and which is rapidly taking the place of leather as a dress trimming. The straw bands finished off each flounce, and they also formed a decorative border for the smart little coatie which failed to reach the hip line, and which opened in front over a dainty vest made of flesh-pink Georgette crepe. The sleeves of this coat were of the leg-o-mutton order and the whole costume had an old-world air which was infinitely attractive. The head I have sketched this week shows one of the newest toques. You will see that height counts in this year of 1916; in some cases extreme height. The toque war of midnight-blue chip, a Carlier model. It was a close-fitting shape which was trimmed with two gigantic rosettes made of mulberry-red taffeta. One of these rosettes stood erect in front, the other a* the back. This was a toque which would look well if worn with a plain-tailored suit of navy blue serge or brocadeol. Some Oddities Worth While Many and many a time you have stopped, if you are at all interested in dress, to admire some little feature on a frock that is out of the ordinary, the one thing that makes the garment different from the general fashion trend. Oddities are always cropping up if you watch. Maybe it will be a set of the button-on pockets which you can attach at will to a loudly checked topcoat of wool velour. The pockets are of plain material and hang by two loops on two large gallibl buttons which match those used on the coat No Need to Buy Tassels So many times the home sewer is apt to forget that many of the smaller trimmings she can make herself at a great saving of her dress allowance. This is particularly the case with tassels. This small trimming is very stylish this year, and a great number of fancy tassels of odd materials are being shown on new frocks. It is not a hard matter to make a tassel. For a silk or wool or chenille tassel, wind your strand of silk or wool around two pegs or pins a little more than twice the distance apart of the length you wish the tassel to be. Gather the skein together in the middle and tie it temporarily with thread. Then detach the skein from the pegs, and wind your wool or silk or a fancy braid around the doubled strands just below the temporary tying. Then cut the doubled ends and your tassel is complete. For beaded tassels, which are very stylish, a different method will have to be employed. The beaded strands for fastening. Sort of a saddle-bag arrangement this, for much can be carried in these pockets, and they can be detached if the wearer does not wish to be heavily burdened. A tiny pocket in the sleeve of a plain handkerchief linen blouse appears just above the cuff. It is large enough to hold the small glove handkerchief which so many women prefer 'o the larger variety. A patent leather belt shows two small pockets, one for the handkerchief and the other for change. Two layers of thin material rather than one layer of heavier material is a feature to be noted in new lingerie. It gives opaqueness without bulk. Sometimes the layers contrast in color, especially in the chiffon and Georgette crepe varieties. The mitten sleeve is another odd note. It appears upon a tulle evening gown of a dull tape brown. The sleeve is of the transparent tulle and reaches to the knuckles. A stitching makes a division for the thumb; otherwise, it is fingerless. A removable hatbrim which can turn the hat into a small close-fitting model from the crown, or by the addition of a brim into a large dressier afair, is worth remembering. Sunshade, Cushion and Bag The work bag to hold embroidery, book or magazine, has always been a winter and summer resort fad. These bags have now developed into sets, and a great deal of originality is displayed in their shapes and materials. One set shows the futurist note strongly. It is made of a soft pale silk and has flat futurist roses embroidered to it. The bag is oval shaped, resembling those which appeared during the winter in velvet. The bonnet is a demure little shape after the style of the advanced bonnet-shaped toques which have come in with bygone modes. Some of the sets are composed of scarf, cushion and work bag. Every material is used to make these sets, from fine cretones to elegant brocaded multicolored satins and silks. Fads and Fancies Short skirts are still the rule. FULL ripple skirts are great favorites. Bracelets have a larger vogue than ever. Long guard chains are growing in favor. The 1830 fashions obtain even in jewelry. Cutaway cots are coming in to a limited extent. The latest handkerchief has rounded corners. The sheer weaves of silk will continue to be liked. Unbleached rep is a good material for boys' middies. Ribbon is used for trimming wherever it is possible. Bustle drapery is evident on many of the new frocks. Some of the new coats have deep points over the hips. Cream-Colored Suit 70 A Paris model of cream color, trimmed with brown corrugoy velvet. Note the decorations that stand out on the pocket openings. of silk, not beaded too closely, will have eo be carefully measured, as they cannot be cut after doubling. A large bead may be used for the head of such a tassel, and each thread threaded through this large bead and all tied together in a large enough knot. Narrow ribbons can be made into tassels in the same manner as silk or wool threads. Strips of leather can be treated in the same way. Even ostrich fronds, beaded, occasionally are formed into tassels. Infinite care at the hands of an amateur might accomplish such a tassel from an old willow plume. Fetching Coat-Mantle Fetching, for a young girl, is a little coat-mantle of green pussy willow with tiny plaited frills all around the edge and down the deep shall collar and around the wide opening of a bell sleeve. A black straw directoire bonnet with trimming of green leaves matches the little mantle, which will be worn over summer frocks or organdie and batista.

Others are years in finding out that the saving, industrious man, who knows how to take care of his bank roll has far out-distanced him even in the opinion of the frivolous girls. Money is hard to earn. It should not be allowed to sift through a man's pocket like sands in the hourglass. It is a man's reputation for prudently saving which brings him respect, admiration and popularity in a community. "That horse is only four years old, Tommie." "How do you tell?" "By his teeth."

In the background, there are four children running in different directions. Of all the weak, inconclusive, modern parents—is this what we've come to?" said Professor Marshall to his wife after a scene with their eighteen-year-old daughter, in Dorothy Canfield's new novel, "The Bent Twig." After eighteen years of "training" Sylvia manifests a desire to do what other young people are doing, to drift with the majority, to enjoy people and pastimes not approved by her parents. Having allowed their daughter to make decisions all these years, in the hope that she would thus learn to make right decisions, the father cries out helplessly when her decision in the first really serious situation is opposed to the parental judgment. He is tempted to appeal to "parental authority." We must reach out the hand to pull her back, or she will make a horrible mistake! But the mother sticks to her principles. They had taught their children to think independently, and now it was impossible to use force. They had tried to give the children standards of conduct and by these they would stand. She had faith that in a crisis these standards and ideals would pull her through. The most that parents can do for their children is to give them standards and ideals that will serve in emergencies as well as in the routine of life. But how often are we tempted to lose faith in our own teachings, and to resort to lock and key, as was Professor Marshall! How often do we see no choice but that between force and perdition! As we become more experienced in this business of parenthood our feeling of responsibility grows upon us, we realize how much better our judgment is than that of the children, we realize more and more the dangers and the temptations that beset them. And of course we wish to save them tween tucks a row of padded white embroidery made up of lots in round or diamond shapes and tiny flowers. TELL YOUR SISTER I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER AN HOUR FOR HER WELL SHE'S BEEN WAITING SIX MONTHS FOR YOU TER PROPOSE "What do you think Pat told me just now? That English dog, he declares, is a Boston bull." "No; if he said that it's an Irish bull." --- By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY (Copyright, 1916) Pleasures are like poppies spread— You seize the flower, its bloom is shed! Or like the snowlake in the river— A moment white, then melts forever. The most foolish course a young man who works hard to earn his money can purse is to lavish his earnings on girls, with the hope of making himself popular with them. PETER He could make no greater mistake, for the very girls who accept his ice cream and bonbons, theater tickets, etc., are the ones who give him the name of spendthrift. They infer that he cannot keep what he earns, and they might as well have the benefit of it as anyone. If by springtime he has not been able to save enough to buy a new suit of clothes—even inexpensive ones—the girls on whom he lavished his money will be the first to comment on his shabbiness, and decline to be seen in his company. Popularity—that is, the honest kind—cannot be bought. It is given spontaneously and for sterling worth. A sensible young man measures his garment according to his cloth, as the old saying goes. That is, he lets a crowd of jolly girls who expect to be "treated" every time they happen to meet a man, severely alone. That is a sufficient and dignified rebuke to girls who suggest they'd like a soda, etc. The majority of men are too sensible to buy popularity. They would rather just one nice girl would admire them, one who would have her dinner before they started out for a stroll of al evening or to the theater, and would refuse to gorge herself after the show at his expense. The greatest fear many a mother feels is that her boy is spending too much money on girls. It sets the pace for reckless living and has brought many a well-meaning youth to ruin. A girl who accepts the attentions of a young man who she knows carms his money by toil should study the situation before she accepts an invitation from him that calls for a carriage if she wears her pretty, filmy party dress. She should know that he could afford such extravagance only now and then. If she really has his interest at heart she will wear a dress that cannot spoil or that laundering will make as good as new, and either take a car to their destination or walk if the distance is not too great and the weather is fine. A man can well understand such a girl will make a good, prudent wife. His earnings would be safe in her keeping. If an employer finds that a young man has not been able to lay by a dollar of his earnings for a twelvemonth, his declaration that he had spent it all on girls would bring him sharp criticism, and the statement, would sound almost unbelievable. In looking backward, reckoning all the money spent uselessly on girls, no wonder the squanderer grows bitterly angry with himself. It has been a case of a fool and his money. It Tailored Waist Popular Womankind takes a lesson from man every now and then in the matter of dress, and proof of this is the tailored waist. The season's newest are the concrete expression of trim simplicity. White linen in one is frilled on turn-over collar and turn-back cuff and on either side of the front band with a narrow ruffle of linen, hand-hemmed. Such a waist never ceases to mark excellent taste. The other waist is also among the last words on this sartorial matter. The back and sleeves are of white linen lawn; the front and collar and cuffs are of white tucked muslin bought by the yard. The collar is a straight piece of tucking slightly curved to fit the hand in front, and may be turned up on the "second day" to form the foundation and turnover points of a black satin ribbon stock and bow. Tucking by the yard may also be bought in various other groupings, and, like the fancy between new dresses for men, can carry be- CHILD MUST BE TRAINED TO MAKE OWN DECISIONS By SIDONIE MATZNER GRUENBERG "Those other boys might be so rough or careless in their speech!" Its Class. MOTHER'S COOK BOOK How to Boil Meat. In boiling meat it should be dropped into boiling water and boiled for five minutes to sear over the outside and keep in the juices, then the heat is lowered and the meat simmers until tender. Too long cooking reduces meat to rags and makes it unpalatable and lacking in nourishment. Raisins Keep Indefinitely. Raisins are advancing in price; at one time a package cost ten cents; now they are often fifteen. In buying in large quantities one can save quite a sum, and they keep indefinitely if properly packed. A Delicious Sherbet. A delicious sherbet is made of one lemon, two oranges and three cupfuls of thin cream, with sugar to sweeten as desired. Freeze as usual and serve in orange or grapefruit cups. Cottage Cheese Salad. Cottage cheese mixed with canned rei peppers which have been put through the ricer or sieve then well seasoned served on lettuce with a little boiled dressing, makes a most tasty salad. Parsnip Fritters. Parsnip fritters are another delicious way of serving this good vegetable. Cook them until tender, mash and season, dip in fritter batter and fry in deep fat. Cheese Ball Salad. Cheese balls of seasoned cheese rolled in chopped chives and arranged in a blanched lettuce leaf, served with any boiled dressing makes a most satisfying salad.

BE TRAINED OWN DECISIONS ZNER GRUENBERG ough or careless in their speech!" from these dangers, we wish to give them the full benefit of our superior judgment. But there is a limit beyond which the child simply will not profit from the wisdom of others, except in a negative way—that is, in the way of doing nothing at all. Nor should we deny the child the privilege of acquiring his judgment by means of the kinds of experiences that have given us our insight. At any rate, we cannot save the child by building a fence around him, as the mother of a ten-year-old boy tried to do, to protect him from the rough manners and "bad language" of other boys. The mother had kept the child with her almost constantly, when he was not in school. In time she contrived to delegate portions of this burden to paid deputies. When it was suggested to the mother that the boy might profit more from outdoor games and the companionship of other boys, she expressed the fear that some of those "other boys" might be so rough, or so careless in their speech! If the home is not capable of compensating for the roughness of boys and the giggles of girls, he will surely not be saved by padlocks and shutters. For a few years this mother will be able to shield her child from the inconsiderate rudeness of the world outside, just as she was shielded in her youth. But in the absence of a will and a steadfast purpose, her child will either succumb to the temptations that are sure to come when he gets beyond his mother's protection, or he will be obliged to retire for the rest of his days to the only kind of life for which the seclusion and darkness have fitted him. By tying the hands you may keep one from doing harm, but you cannot thus destroy the desire to do the objectable deed. It is better to leave the hands free, and to train them to do what you approve. The Sport Hat Despite the fact that pockets are very generally in evidence in dressy suits, as well as on sport garb, the designers of accessories have advanced little bags made to match hats, and usually evolved in colors that offer decorative contrast with the costume. One of the latest ideas is shown in a Paris hat, which is of maroon-colored suede in sailor shape and which has a crown of white kid. This hat is accompanied by a bag of the suede, which has a cut-out design in brown and white matching the band on the hat. Another expression of the same idea is a hat of taffeta with a very high crown, made of plaited taffeta and caught through the center with a colored velvet ribbon. Don't omit from the kitchen range the hood which will prevent cooking odors from penetrating to all parts of the house. By the use of this hood it is possible to leave the serving room door open and no kitchen odor escape.
