IN UNION THERE IS STRENGE ABRAM I. ELKUS INTERNATIONAL FILM SERVICE New photograph of Abram I. Elikus, the eminent lawyer and philanthropist of New York, who has been appointed ambassador to Turkey. Baltimore, Md.—The German merchant submarine Deutschland sailed on her return voyage to Germany, leaving her pier at Locust Point at 5:40 p. m. Tuesday. She carried a cargo of crude rubber and nickel and it is understood a consignment of gold. The Deutschland's tender, the tug Thomas F. Timmins, drew the submarine out to the main channel. There the tow line was cast off and the submersible proceeded under her own power. The coast guard cutter Wissahickon followed close behind and a little further back was the Timmins. In this order the little squadron proceeded down the river and soon disappeared from view around Wagner's point. A few sightseeing motorboats followed, but they were kept at a safe distance by the city police boat Lanan. As the Deutschland left the wharf flags were run up on the interned north German Lloyd liner Neckar, and her crew lined the lrails, shouting their farewells to their countrymen on the Deutschland. At 5 o'clock preparations for the start began and the police boat Lannon and the government cutter Apache, took position on either side of the Deutschland and preparations were made for opening the way to give the super-submarine a clear passage. One of the barges that has maintained a screen for the submarine was moved out of the way. A large fleet of motor boats hove to, crowded to the gunwales-with sightseers, but the vigilance of the police boat and the government tug kept them at a safe distance. The ally fleet outside the capes began to close in as soon as the Deutschland got under way. Before the Deutschland went out tugs swept the river with chains to make sure there were no submarine nets or other obstructions in the way. Farmer Indicted for Murder. Georgetown, O.-Leonard Sanders, 45 years old, is in jail charged with killing Henry Wahl at Mt. Orab, June 3.

Plan World Congress Columbus, O. — Plans for a world congress to conserve the temperance advances made by the present war are now being worked out by the National Anti-Saloon league, according to Wayne B. Wheeler, former superintendent of Ohio and now connected with the legal department of the national organization at Washington. Mr. Wheeler is in Columbus for a few days. It is the belief of the anti-saloon forces that the time is ripe for a world crusade against alcoholic beverages. HUGHES DEMANDS AMERICA FIRST Republican Candidate for Presidency Informed of His Selection by Party. IS NOTIFIED BY HARDING Candidate, in Speech, Says Washington Has Bungled Foreign Affairs; Diplomacy Has Gained Nothing and Lost Respect. New York City $ ^{3} $ —Charles Evans Hughes in a speech in Carnegie hall accepted the Republican presidential nomination, and, in so doing, criticized the Democratic party generally and the Wilson administration specifically. The speech notifying Mr. Hughes had been nominated was delivered by Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, who was chairman at the nominating convention. Mr. Hughes in part said: This occasion is more than a mere ceremony of notification. We are not here to indulge in formal expressions. We come to state in a plain and direct manner our faith, our purpose and our pledge. This is the most important and the most important. It means the strength of reunion. It means the party of Lincoln is restored, alert, effective. It means the unity of a common perception of paramount national importance, of a dominant sense of national unity; the exercise of our best constructive powers; the vigor and resourcefulness of a quickened America. We desire that the Reformation shall be the agency of national achievement, the organ of the effective expression of dominant Americanism. What do we want to accomplish in our society, of power, awake to obligation, erect in self-respect, prepared for every emergency, devoted to the ideals of peace, institute, with the spirit of human brotherhood, with the spirit of national unity, and the public interest, maintaining a well-ordered constitutional system adapted to local self-government without the sacrifice of essential national authority, with the expert knowledge and thorough organization as the indispensable conditions of security and progress; a country worthy of respect, a nation willing to miting no division in their allegiance and no rivals in their affection—I mean America first and America efficient. It is in his spirit that our summons, FOREIGN relations. Our foreign relations have assumed grave importance in the past three years. The conduct of diplomatic intercourse is the most important aspect of our ability with him whether we shall show competence or incompetence; whether the national honor shall be maintained; whether our press and influence shall be maintained; what the order of the administration? The first duty of the executive was to command the respect of the world by the personnel of the administration abroad. No party exigency could excuse the non-performance of this obvious obligation. Still, after making every allowance for certain commendable apprehension, we should not that this obligation was not performed. If we would have the esteem of foreign relations we must desist from showing our special knowledge and experience. I propose that we shall make the agencies of our diplomatic intercourse, in every nation, worthy of the The dealings of the administration with Mexico constitute a confused chapter of blunders. We have not helped Mexico, properly prepared to deal with the stricken, overwhelmed with the woes and outrages of internecine strife, the helpless victim of a condition of anarchy which the course of the administration only served to promote. For ourselves, we must be prepared to embrace citizens and the destruction of their property. We have made enemies, not friends. The nation has no policy of aggression toward Mexico. We have no desire for our citizens to have peace, stability and prosperity. We should be ready to aid her in binding up her wounds, in relieving her from starvation and distress, and in giving her the opportunity to have peace, stability and prosperity. Our disinterested friendship. The conduct of this administration has created difficulties which we shall have to surmount. We shall have to overcome the antipathy which we have to develop genuine respect and confidence. We shall have to adopt a new policy, a policy of firmness and consistency through which alone we can promote an enduring protection of the lives and the property of our citizens and the security of our border from depredations. Much will be gained if Mexico is convinced that we contemplate no meddlesome interference with our citizens. We must propose to insist in a firm and candid manner upon the performance of international obligations. To a stable government appropriately discharging its international duties we give invigoring support. Maintenance of American Rights. In this land of composite population, drawing its strength from every race, the national identity, the patriotic spirit, and patrolling with American rights. I stand for the unfinishing maintenance of all American rights on land and sea. It is a great mistake to say that resilient American lives would have led to war. Rather, in that course lay the best assurance of peace. We are a peace-loving people, but we live in a world of aggression, thought of aggression, and we desire to preserve our democratic ideals without the wastes of strife. So devoted are we to this country that we are fortunate to develop, that I do not believe that there is the slightest danger of militarism in this country. Adequate preparedness is not in the hands of the national security of security; it is a necessary safeguard of peace. Revivalist Passes Away Chicago, Ill.-Harry Monroe is dead. The man who converted Billy Sunday and who, as assistant director of the Pacific Garden Mission, persuaded hundreds of human derelicts to "start all over," has himself gone the way he tried so hard to paint for others. Mr. Monroe died in his Morgan park home, after a long illness caused by a nervous breakdown over a year ago. He had preached at the mission every Sunday night since 1877 until his illness forced him to remain away. 46 BEN FENIGER $300,000 That is the amount spent yearly by Cleveland labor organizations for hall rent.

To the Citizens of Cuyahoga County: On Aug. 8, 1916, you select your candidates for public office, and in some respects it is more important that the primary should receive your attention than the November election which follows. I am a candidate for County Treasurer on the Republican ticket. For years I was a public accountant and as such served some of the largest factories, banks, transportation lines, etc., and eleventh consecutive year as an official of Lakewood, and my present position combines the duties of Treasurer, Auditor and Clerk of Council.

I solicit your vote. B. M. COOK. B. Beach Ave., Lakewood, O. Mr. Cook is now serving the city of Lakewood as director of finance for the sixth consecutive term. This speaks volumes for a "thoroughly committed official," Mayor Tyler of Lakewood refers to him. "Great credit is due to B. M. Cook for the interest manifested in his work. He is careful and painstaking, and is an invaluable official to the village.—State Examiner C. E. Lippincott." "The manner in which the work of this department (B. M. Cook's) is handled reflects credit upon the official in charge.—State Examiner P. A.

By day the sky of Mexico Stares, brazen, overhead; By night the light of alien stars Keeps watch above the dead. How did they die in that far land. How did they face the grave— Those men whose fathers bore the brand That marked the southland slave? Did they, like recreant cowards, weep, Or vainly seek to fly? Ah, no, upon that bloody field They showed how men should die! Betrayed, outnumbered, still they fought To their heroic end. And smiled at death, and bravely sang, As welcoming a friend. The strange, wild music of their race With mellow, low refrain. From cabin homes, from rice-land swamps. In memory swells, again. But never such a song rang out As when they faced the foe. And, singing, charged, from trench to trench. And gave him blow for blow! And in the annals of our land, Long as our flag shall wave. That song will show that men are men Though children of the slaves. CHARLES T. DAZLE. Author of "In Old Kentucky," in the New York Times. --- SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. YOUNG DEFENDER OF NATION'S FLAG Native and Foreign Service of Captain J. L. Waller. Thrilling Story of a Kansas Boy Who Enlisted In the Twenty-third Kansas Volunteer Infantry Regiment at Sixteen—Saw Service at the Front In Cuba and the Philippine Islands. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Captain John L. Waller, as he is familiarity called by his friends, is an attache of the quartermaster's office, war department, at Manila. He was born in the state of Kapsas May 22, 1882, and at the tender age of ten years went to Madagascar, where he remained for three years. After visiting the island of Mauritius during the summer of 1885 he sailed for the United States. In July, 1898, at the age of sixteen, he enlisted in the Twenty-third Kansas volunteer infantry regiment for service in Cuba. The Twenty-third infantry remained on the island until March, 1899, when it was ordered back to the United States and was mustered out at Fort Leavenworth. Six months later Captain Waller enlisted in the Fort-ninth United States volunteer infantry for service in the Philippines. He served CAPTAIN J. L. WALLER. first as private, then as corporal and then as sergeant in Company A. His ability was quickly observed by his superior officers, and he was made battalion sergeant major and regimental sergeant major on the noncommissioned staff. Captain Waller saw service in the campaigns during the Philippine insurrection. He returned to the United States with his regiment and was mustered out at San Francisco in June, 1901. Mr. Waller was in San Francisco less than a month before he again set sail for Manila, where he entered the service of the new civil government which was being organized in all parts of the island. His first position was that of private secretary to the governor of the province of Isabella, in northern Luzon. He rendered valuable service in the organization of the province under civil government rule. Mr. Waller was given a clerkship at the headquarters of the Philippine constabulary in Manila, which he held for three years. He resigned his position in December, 1905, and returned to the United States by way of Europe. In March, 1906, he was appointed clerk in the quartermaster general's office in Washington, where he remained for two years and was then transferred to the New York department of the service for five and a half years. At the expiration of his assignment in New York he was again ordered back to the Philippine Islands, arriving at Manila Dec. 4, 1913. He has been in the foreign service of the government for ten years and has lived in foreign countries for thirteen years. Captain Waller has visited Africa, China, Japan, the Malay peninsula, China, Japan, the south sea islands, the Hawaiian Islands and the West Indies. His term of service in Manila expires in October 1916, and he will be returning to the United States, China, Japan and the Hawaiian Islands. Captain Waller is the only son of the late Hon. John L. Waller, who was at one time United States consul to Madagascar. New Jersey Sunday Schools to Meet. The annual meeting of the New Jersey State Sunday School convention will be held at New Brunswick, N. J., on Thursday, July 27. T. C. Moody is president of the convention. The principal address will be delivered by N. B. Dodson of Brooklyn, president of the New England Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. convention. Progress of the Red Bank Messenger. George Lane, editor of the Red Bank (N. J.) Messenger, is bringing his paper up to a high standard in local and national news features and mechanical construction.

The Pennsylvania State Federation of Colored Women's clubs will hold its annual meeting at Chester for three days beginning on Thursday, Aug. 3. The federation will send representatives to the biennial convention of the national association which meets in Baltimore from Aug. 6 to 10, inclusive. THE WATCH FOR THE LIFE OF THE UNION MILITANT BODY OF CHURCHMEN Baptists Make Strong Plea For Rights as Citizens. Committee on State of the Country For New England Baptist Convention Wants Federal Supervision of Federal Election—Ronews Fight Against Injustice and Political Piracy. The committee on state of the country representing the New England Baptist Missionary convention has issued its statement for 1916 following its annual meeting held in Philadelphia in June. The territory of the convention covers fourteen states, including the District of Columbia. Its religious, educational, home and foreign mission work is carried on by its local boards grouped in the various states throughout its jurisdiction. The Rev. W. B. Reed of Hartford, Conn., is chairman of the standing committee on (resolutions) state of the country. The report of the committee released July 18, says: "After charges and countercharges the New England Baptist convention has come through the conflicts of another year. Our battle against sin, nirrighteousness and evil has been taken, fort after fort has fallen before our advancing army, and our King goes on 'conquering and to conquer.' We pass in this annual session the forty-second milestone of our journey with thanksgiving to our Captain, for the Lord alone has brought us, and there was no strange god among us. "We are living in a great yet peculiar age. The peculiarity may be observed under the seven general headlines in this report. We are living at a time when wisdom has greatly increased, yet wise men are greatly deceived on important questions affecting us in a peculiar way as a people. A new public sentiment is in the molding. If soda is left out of the dough it would be a most difficult task to put it in the bread after it is cooked, and the baker who tries it would lose both reputation and trade. "In our great body politic no man or group of men is taking chances on waiting to put his essence in the molding after it comes out of the mold. The time is too critical to intrust others altogether in the molding. The cost of neglect is too great; we must insist on our place and time in the grinding. So the New England Baptist convention has selected twenty-five men, covering its territory from Maine to Virginia, to survey in a broad sense the political end of our convention from a national point of view. "We aim to deal with national questions as they affect us as a people. We aim at our well earned and well deserved place in the great functions of the government. By this we do not ask a place for a colored man, but a man, a loyal patriotic citizen and an American, with an ancestry older than the constitution. We are not mere politicians looking for personal popularity, personal consideration or personal friends. "We are of age and we aim to speak for ourselves. We aim to deal with this magnified southern question. We are going to deal with it not as subject citizens, but as sovereign citizens, not by permission, but voluntarily, fired by duty with the knowledge of a common privilege burning in our souls. We aim to fill up the gaps broken down by the suppression of free speech by southern political machines through the terror of its mobs. We aim to break down the southern oligarchy that makes the southern congressmen representatives of only white men and misrepresentatives of colored men. We aim to tell of the hypocrisy of all lawmakers who advocate jimcrow laws. "The aim of this committee is backed up by work. We are uniting our forces, we are fighting nearly a half million strong. The New England Baptist convention has invited all of its state conventions to aim and fight with it for federal supervision over federal elections. This will be the key to the situation, the great highway to the goal of our malleable rights. This is the weapon that will bring disfranchisers home and supplant political privacy with political equality. "In our fight, we shall not be guilty of misrepresentation. We leave that to our enemies. We shall speak the truth from hearts free from hatred, selfishness and racial prejudice. All the committee combined cannot tell all the truths of the horrors of the political machine. We aim to tell enough to get a hearing in the name of justice and rights alike for all men." "We are in a fair fight for fair and sacred principles. We are not fighting in the dark, but in the open, contending for the indemnable rights guaranteed by the constitution to every citizen. We are reaching out for our share of the benefits of the government, the preservation of which in every crisis is humiliorized by the blood of our dead. We are calling to the man at the staff to wave Old Glory over us, for our devotion helped to keep it from the claws of the fowler. We are calling to the government that protects her citizenship in foreign waters to protect it at home, for we defended the flag when secession's renom balaced forth at the vitals of the nation."

If you I've no read the Hon. Charles E. Hughes' great speech of Monday evening do not fail to do so. It is the most remarkable and strong est thing of the kind we have ever read. As a Republican campaign document, it is excellent. Our men must not forget to vote at the primaries to be held throughout the state on Tuesday next. As far as it is possible we respectfully ask that the candidates, mentioned in The Gazette today, be favored with your support. They are friends of the race. We trust the self and race respecting Afro-Americans of this city will not be inveigled into attending the money-making scheme, being advertised as an "emancipation celebration", at color line Luna park, next week, extended reference to which is made in our local columns on page 3 of this paper. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of a dollar, for the Trotter "Press Testimonial Fund," sent by Editor E. D. Cannady, of the Portland (Ore.) Advocate. With Mrs. Patricia Robinson's dollar it has been forwarded to Editor J. R. Clifford of the Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press, chairman of the fund. We are still waiting to hear from the editor of the Denver (Colo.) Star, who in speaking of the fund suggested by The Gazette said, and very pertinently too: "If our editors don't get together and start some public movement whom we can expect to take the initiative along the line of benefiting stricken, deserving editors? It's Trotter today; it may be a good idea to ask what shall we do? The Star will help. We hope a speedy recovery for Mr. Trotter." IN A FIGHTING MOOD Going over to Philadelphia to speak to the convention of advertising men, President Wilson told his audience that he was "in a fighting mood." These words, spoken in the same city where Mr. Wilson, on the day after the Lausitania was sunk, declared that he was "too proud to fight"; naturally arrested the attention of his hearers—and some of them were so impolite as to laugh aloud. In truth, the President's "fighting mood" is amusing. During the long and weary days of note-writing he felt no belligerency. The insulting phrases of the many communications which he received from across the water during the past year aroused none of his pugnacity. So long as it was the honor, the dignity, the position, the power of the United States that were at stake he gave no sign of active resentment. But now conditions are different. Until recently the President has had no fears for his personal fortunes. He has deemed himself again to be the beneficiary of a divided opposition and he felt that he was to retain his office by reason of continued dissension in the ranks of Republicanism. He now knows that all such hopes have vanished and that he cannot again walk into the White House through the split ranks of his adversaries. This has aroused all of the President's fighting qualities. What could not be developed by the imperilling of national interests has readily been brought about by the danger of his personal interests. Content to accept rebuff for the country, he is nevertheless most unwilling to accept reverses for himself. Hence, he is in a "fighting mood". He is not "too proud to fight" when fighting means the strengthening of his slender chance for re-election. WILSON AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY The crisis now confronting this nation demands the serious reflections of all its citizens. No people have been and are more loyal to America than ours. No people have been more studiously deprived of their civil right than ours. In this awakening of American conscience it will be a travesty on justice as well as an insult to righteousness, if Afro-Americans do not enjoy to the fullest extent, with all other citizens, every rights than ours. In this awakening of every race has had to contend man- fully for its rights, we call upon our people everywhere to be satisfied with nothing less than absolute American rights and privileges. The welfare of the nation depends upon the wisdom, justice and fairmindedness of the political party that may chance to be at the head of the government. Colored men like all others have the right to unite with and support any political party they choose. In doing so, they show wisdom in supporting that party that vouchsafes to them the equal rights of citizens with all other races. We are, however, forced to warn our people of this nation, against the policy of the Democratic party in national affairs. First, President Wilson. No President has been more set on denying our people their rights, here and abroad, than he. In fact, he has aggressively eliminated the Afro-American from participation in the benefits of this government, doing out to him only such minor things the most prejudiced white citizens grudgingly permit. His promise to be a "Christian gentleman," in his treatment of the race resulted in erecting new bars of segregation and humiliation, everywhere possible. His present slogan, "Americanism," does not include our people. Under his incumbency as president, lynching, mob violence and lawlessness have been greater than ever. Against these evils, citizens North, South, East, and West, protested, but the President uttered not a word in condemnation of these wrongs which surpass in barbarity and cruelty any submarine warfare ever read of. We are almost tempted to believe that this submarine vacillating policy was concerned more with providing revenue to run the government than with the destruction of human life. Surely, if mortal can be moved to compassion toward helpless human beings, the sufferings of our people in this country, particularly at the South, would call it forth. Second, the Democratic party. The backbone of this party is in the South. Without any just reason, it has unlawfully excluded from citizenship and the franchise in that section of the country more than two million Afro-American voters, and their descendants. That the black race should grow up to accept this as their rightful portion, this party has destroyed every agency that seeks to uplift and instituted every device that would degrade. Its avowed hostility toward the race makes it imperative that every Afro-American voter who can cast a ballot, do so in order that Mr. Wilson and his party be driven from power. To this task, we summon every man, woman, and child of the race. This position is due, not only to a dislike of Democracy, in the South, as a form of government, but also to its brutal injustice to American citizens. While viewing with alarm the injustice of the South, we must not close our eyes to like evils elsewhere. The Afro-American voter is daily leaving the South. He is a new factor in politics and civil affairs where he locates. In these places our people must intelligently contend for their rights: The right to vote, to sit on jury, to enjoy what their money pays for, to hold office when capable, to be protected in the pursuit of happiness and the blessings of life. And they who deny him these are foes. We call upon our citizens to use their influence, votes and tact to place in every state legislature, where possible, able men of the race who will safeguard the rights of our people. In the national congress we should endeavor to have representatives who will defend, at the nation's capitol, a race that is so frequently and viciously assaulted by "peanut politicians" who have learned nothing but how to abuse and matreat the most loyal of American citizens, Preparedness and Americanism, if they mean anything other than to get votes, must mean the breaking down of every sentiment here that discriminates against one citizen in favor of another, and the readiness to protect the rights of every citizen when encroached upon. (REV.) WILLIAM A. BYRD. GOV. FRANK B. WILLIS. Now that the members of the Ninth Battalion, O. N. G., have been returned to their various homes the following from The Gazette of June 24, 1916, can be fully and properly appreciated: NEGRO SOLDIERS PREPARING CAMP FOR OHIO'S ARMY. Ninth Battalion Rushes Preparations at Upper Arlington. Columbus, O.—The four companies of the Ninth battalion located in Cleveland, Dayton, Columbus and Springfield, reported at the mobilization camp here today. These Afro American companies were not included in the mobilization order issued by the war department, but were ordered here last night by Adjunct General Hough. It is understood that they are to be used in the work of preparing the mobilization camp for the remainder of the troops who are expected to arrive Thursday or early Friday. With the assistance of the Ninth battalion work progressed only today on the construction of the camp. Negroes Will Return When Camp Is Pitched.

G, were not ordered to mobilize, but the "Ninth" has been ordered to Columbus to the drudgery of preparing the state camp for Ohio's soldiers ordered to mobilize and prepare for service on the border, and in Mexico, too, if it is found necessary to send them there. This is being heralded throughout the state and the country by the daily newspapers greatly to the humiliation of all the manly and womanly of the race. This treatment of our soldiers—the "Ninth"—by Gov. Frank B. Wills' boyhood playmate and adjutant Benjamin H. Hough of Delaware, just about makes the good red blood of every Afro-American's body boll. Thus again are our people of Ohio grossly insulted by the Willis administration. The local daily papers of Wednesday took pains to announce that when our four companies of the Ninth Battalion have finished the drudgery of preparing the state camp for the white soldiers "they will be sent back home" and not to the Mexican border where even the two white regiments not as yet ordered to mobilize will no doubt be sent. If there is anything calculated to cool the "soldier" ardor of the members of the Ninth Battalion, it certainly ought to the Ninth Battalion, they are receiving at the hands of the Willis administration through its representative, Adjutant General Ben. H. Hough—The Gazette of June 24, 1916. Members of Co. D. the local part of the Ninth Battalion, told the editor of The Gazette, Wednesday morning, July 19, 1916, on their return to the city, that they were required to unload lumber and other wagons, build "shacks" for the commissary department and do other manual labor in addition to performing guard duty, etc.; that convicts from the Ohio penitentiary dug the trenches, etc., and that they were their (our soldiers') only assistants during their stay at Camp Willis. Also that on July 4th, (note the day) they "were moved from their place in Camp Willis over on 5th Av., a distant part of the camp, away from the white soldiers, as the result of friction arising from the latters' objections to their (our soldiers') visitors, largely ladies of color." Well, well, WELL! They all agree that Gov. Willis did a number of little things to please and coddle them into thinking of him, if possible, but the members of the Battalion are at home now, will have plenty of time for careful thought, and can view all phases of this latest Willis episode without the miserable political or other influences that would if it could make them praise the man or men who are responsible for this most aggravating insult—offered them and through them to all the self and race respecting, manly and womanly Afro-Americans in the state of Ohio. Adjutant-General Ben. H. Hough was a Willis apoineen until almost within a week, and as chief executive of the state, the governor is responsible for the shameful and insulting mistreatment of the Ninth Battalion that is felt, and keenly, too, by every loyal member of the race in Ohio—The Gazette, July 15, 1916. Rev. J. S. Jackson, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church, informs The Gazette that Chaplain Steward's meeting, Sunday evening at the church, netted Wil伯力force university about $600 in pledges. This is a good start but our people here can, and doubtless will, do better than that later on.

The Luna park management refused to allow our ball games to be played on its grounds the last three Sundays and, it is said, has barred them for good. This in addition to barring our people from the Luna park bathing pool, roller-skating rink and dance-hall ought to be enough even for the Cleveland Association of Colored Men who are announcing an "emancipation celebration" to be held there, this month. The Gazette has reportedly returned to accept installations for Luna park affairs of all kinds, for several years, because of the color-lines there and will continue to do so until the latter are discontinued. Our people should enter suits in the courts, under Hon. Harry C. Smith's Ohio Civil Rights law, against the Luna park management, and thus break the law.

A Candidate for Judge of the Common Pleas Court—Vote for Him—How He Worked His Way—Self-Made and Deserving. George C. Hansen, candidate for Common Pleas judge, is 48 years old; was reared on a farm, and taught dis Geo. C. Hansen trict and village schools, which enabled him to get his college and professional training. He was superintendent of Hoytsville, Ohio, school, two years, and superintendent of the THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1916. Adv. Perrysburg, Ohio, school, one year. He graduated from the Toledo Business college, Ohio Northern University, and the University of Michigan. He was admitted to the bar of Ohio in 1858, and has been in the general practice of the law ever since, except as assistant county Prosecutor. Prior to his appointment to office, so far as the county treasurer's record disclosures, not one dollar had ever been received from forfeited ball-bonds. During his term, more than $12,000 were taken in one judgment on these bonds, and about $3,000 were turned into the county treasury. Mr. Hansen was willing to participate with the Common Pleas judge, without opposition. He is an experienced lawyer of rugged physique, and well-equipped mentally for the position. He is a director of the Detroit St. Savings & Banking Company and Vice President of the Lakewood State Bank. He left home when a mere lad, and has made one way in the world. He is a typical boy self-sufficient, a typical boy's friend. Pew country boys, if any, had to overcome greater obstacles. He has always been active in the civic affairs of Cuyahoga County and has served as president of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Hansen speaks the German language fluently. As chairman of the executive committee of the Lakewood School Union's May Festival, several years ago, he led in the effort that so successfully "squelched" an effort of Messrs. Sellers and Cross, southerners, director and assistant, of the affair, to segregate or bar Afro-American Sunday school representatives from participation in the festival. This shows, in an unmistakable way, that he is an intelligent viewpoint, and whether he is or is not entitled to our united support at the Republican primaries, August 8, 1916. Ady. HON. HARRY A. TILDEN. Candidate for State Senator—Former State Representative and a Real Friend of the Race. Mr. Tilden was born, reared and educated in this, Cuyahoga county, attending Cleveland's schools and the law school at Ann Arbor, Mich. He worked in shops and factories of the city as engineer and machinist to earn funds with which to secure an education and to enable him to enter his profession, the law. He was admitted to practice in 1894, is a taxpayer and has been a resident of this city all his life. Attorney Tilden is a Mason and a member of the Presbyterian church. While a member of the Legislature he helped enact the vestibule law for street cars, one compelling the companies to place a conductor on every car, the engineers' license and automatic coupler laws, safety devise law for dangerous machinery, East and West high school and Clark Av. bridge bond laws, good roads laws, Hon. Harry C. Smith's salary increase law for firemen and his bill of a like nature for the policemen, and the latter's vacation law, as well as every measure Editor Smith introduced for the benefit of his people; the police and firemen's pefession law, etc., etc. Mr. Tilden has been a long-active member of the recruitment seekers he is undoubtedly qualified for and deserving of. Vote for him at the primaries, Tuesday, August 8, 1916—Adv. WHITE AMERICAN TRAITOR El Paso, Texas—Bill Ryan, (white), the American, who, it is, charged, directed a machine gun for the Mexicans in the battle of Carrizal, has been promoted from a captain to lieutenant-colonel in the Carrizarra army for the part he took in killing the American cavalry at Carrizal. Ryan, according to Americans who saw him Saturday, is now in Juarez and boasts that he was in El Paso last week Thursday. Troopers of the Tenth Cavalry, who served with the trap and escaped, then recognized Ryan, who formerly was private in the Twentieth Infantry, operating the Mexican machine gun which killed Capt.

B. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:--Some time in 1915, Gov. Frank B. Willis agreed to the appointment of a local Negro as a deputy oil inspector for this county which position he held until January 1 when his resignation used a vacancy in the oil inspecting job. 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 be on their knees, beaches, being embarrassed by hangers 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 has appointed him and his staff, dressed, one whom we thought the best to represent the race in an official capacity. We, as ministers, sent letters, telegrams and night-letters (telegrams) to Gov. Willis in protest against the appointment of the saloon-man 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 with their business (saloon) is doing more harm and causing more retrograde change in manhood in this city than the actual physical slavery of our parents before the "sittyes." We, the ministers and churches, stand for race elevation, a virile 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 temptable indignations are carefully heaped upon us—appointing saloonmen to state and municipal jobs a reward to the decent Negro 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. B. Cailley, Pastor, Antioch Baptist Church, President, Cleveland Branch, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. REV. CARL W. HASKELL. Columbus, O., March 17, 1916. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—I have read Dr. H. C. Balley's splendid article in The Gazette concerning the outrage committed by Gov. Frank R. Dugard to office dept. the vigorous protests of Cleveland's leading ministers of the gospel and prominent citizens, and wish to register my hearty approval of the same. I have known Dr. Balley all of my life and have always found him a true type. I have been wrong in the cause of justice and the rights of our people. Shakespeare said in his "Julus 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 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 played in the emancipation of the ten or more years that followed, it God knows in fear, united support and vote that a half century we have paid that debt and, too, with 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 who stands for the principle of right-ousness and justice, he be democratic or Republican, will be supported by the intelligent Negro ballot. We must punish Gov. Wills as well as respect as well as respect. It is our clear DUTY! Wills is not the party. I am a Republican. Your resp. (Rev.) Carl W. Haskell. FRENCH DRIVE WINS NEW GROUND Carry Several German Trench Works on Somme Line, Near Thiaumont. RENEW FIGHT AT VERDUN Believe Crown Prince's Greatest Blow Against Verdun Has Begun; Calm on British Front; Temporary Lull in East. London, Eng. — Both on the Somme and on the Monsee the French have inflicted severe defeats to the Germans in extensive battles. In the German sector a strong field work between the Hem wood and Monacu farm north of the river was carried by storm, while south of the stream a trench system northwest of Denis-court was captured and held against two violent counter-attacks. Carry German Trenches In great waves or echelons the French infantry swent forward across the shell-swept wood east of Vacher Auville, west and south of the Thiomont work and in the ravine of Fleury. The advance carried several German trench works and resulted in the capture of 600 prisoners. The Verdun fighting was violently renewed by a German attack Tuesday afternoon, continued throughout the night. The Germans attacked incessantly and realized some gains in the Chapite wood and at Chenois. They claim to have captured a bill salient at the northeastern approaches to the shattered fort, Souville, but this is not admitted by the French. It was to offset these gains and halt this offensive that the French drove forward on the other end of the front. The fighting is now raging from the Meuse as far as Damloup, well to the northeast of Verdun. The fighting is almost incessant on a front of six miles, with the artillery carrying on a terrific duel in several sectors, notably around Vaux le Chapitre and Chenois. The day passed calmly on the British fright after some sharp night fighting around Pozieres, where Gen. Haig's troops are extending their positions to the east, piercing the German third system of defense. Military critics attach great importance to the new German demonstrations at Verdun. They believe that the attacks of the last day mark the opening of the crown prince's greatest and final blow against the great fortress. Temporary Lull. Exhaustion from the tremendous fighting of the last few weeks and the necessity to prepare for the supreme test of strength, which the next fortnight or so is expected to bring, have forced a temporary lull in the eastern front. Petroglad reports only that there is no change in the situation at any part of the front. The German war office asserts Russian attacks southwest of Pinsk and east and southeast of Kovel broke down completely under the defenders' curtain of fire. Gen. Count Von Bothmer also is reported to have held his front against Russian onslaughts northeast of Stanislau. The Austrians suffered a severe defeat in Monday's engagements in the Astico valley, Rome announces. Their attacks on the Italian lines at Monte Seluggio, Castellato and Monte Climone were repulsed with extremely heavy losses for the attacking forces. German airships flew over the eastern counties early this morning, dropping bombs at several places. No damage has been reported. HUNT MEXICAN BANDITS HUNT MEXICAN BANDITS CAVALRY SEARCH FOR OUTLAWS IN CANYONS; VILLA LIEU- TENANT IS DEAD. El Paso, Tex. — Two troops of the 8th cavalry under command of Capit. William Kelley, Jr., are scouring the gulches and canyons between Finlay, Tex., and Fort Hancock, in search of bandits. The cavalry is supported by a battalion of the 23d infantry rushed from El Paso to Fort Hancock in motor trucks. Thus far these troops have been unable to find the bandits, who are said to number 150. Army officers at San Antonio believe the bandits have returned to the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. Chihuahua, Mex., Aug. 3. — Confirmation of reports of the death of Calixto Contreras, Villa's chief lieutenant, has been received by Gen. Jacinto Trevino. Gen. Samuel De Los Santos reported from Torreon that he had found Contreras' grave in Elojo. Durango, while Gen. Domingo Arrieta arrived here bringing letters from Contreras' son asking amnesty for themselves and saying that their father had died of wounds. Strikers Attack Police Utica, N. Y.-When led by a number of women, 2,000 striking operatives of the New York Mills Co., attacked a force of special deputies and police guards here. Before reinforcements arrived and the strikers were dispersed several persons, among them a number of women leaders, were severely injured in the battle waged with bricks and clubs. The fight started when the women attempted to drive strikebreakers from their jobs. Sheriff Harvey will ask Gov. Whitman to call out militia if there is further trouble. Workers Get Bonus Schenectady, N. Y. — Nearly 9,000 employees of the General Electric Co.'s plant in this city received their first extra payments as a result of the most successful year in the company's history. Similar distributions were made to long service employees in other localities, so that throughout all its large organization the General Electric Co. distributed about $550,000 to 19,000 persons. The second extra payment is to be made next February. The total wages for this year will approximate $50,000,000. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1916. GIANT EXPLOSION ROCKS NEW YORK War Stores Explode in Bay; People Rush to Street in Panic, Fearing Earthquake. EXPLOSIONS LAST 2 HOURS Bullets From Exploding Cartridges Rain on Surrounding Spots; Statue of Liberty Is Unharmed; Loss $45,000,000. New York City.—New York city and its environs for miles was shaken to its foundation by the greatest explosion in the history of the country. Scores of tons of dynamite, cellulose, shrapnel and other war munitions, destined for the entente allies, exploded in car load salvos on Black Tom, a peninsula on the Jersey City side of the upper bay, within two miles of the richest section of lower Manhattan. Only Three Known to Be Killed. Only three lives are known to be lost, but the tally of the explosion's toll is yet to be taken. Among the scattered crews of barges, schooners and other craft there are still nearly 200 men to be accounted for. Seventy-five persons have been taken to hospitals. The property loss is estimated at $45,000,000. Bedloe's island, on which stands the Statue of Liberty, and other places around the shores of New York bay, were subjected to two hours of bombardment as the missiles from thousands of cases of exploding shrapnel showered them with lead and steel. The colossal Bartholdi statue itself was practically unarmed, although its great bronze body lay bare to the fierce shower of flying iron and wood. The stone base of the statue was scared and cracked; iron doors were torn open like paper; windows were blown out and rooms were wrecked. The plant of the National Storage Co. is located on Black Tom, together with six Lehigh Valley railroad piers. The National Storage warehouses comprised 24 three-story brick buildings, about 100 feet deep. The piers were used by the railroad to transfer its gigantic shipments of munitions for the allies to vessels. The warehouses were filled with general merchandise and on the piers were nearly 100 freight cars. Thirteen warehouses and 85 cars were blown to atoms. The cars were laden with dynamite, cellulose nitrilotoluol, three-inch shrapnel and other explosives. Although railroad officials assert that a fire on a lighter was responsible, others declare that a car loaded with dynamite caught fire and was shunted into another car, similarly loaded with dynamite, by its panic-striken crew. Manhattan rocked at the first concussion. Houses were shaken as far away as Rockaway. The explosion was heard in Philadelphia. For more than two hours harbor shipping was menaced by a bombardment that came not only from Black Tom but from scores of barges that had been cut or burned from their moorings and drifted up toward the Battery on the flood side. Four circled Ellis islands. Ceilings and walls of the immigration offices were cracked and not a window escape. The damage may be $50,000 or $100,000. The 250 emigrants who were not in the infirmary, were huddled aboard the government boat which ran the gauntlet of the flaming, belching lighters, to South Ferry. Military Post Target. The military post on Bedlee's island formed another target. Whole cases of shrapnel fell about the soldiers' quarriers. Some of the missiles came from Black Tom, half a mile away, Capt. Clifton, the commanding officer, assembled the families of the officers on the parade ground where they covered in safety while their houses were shelled. In the negro district men and women fell on their knex in the street uttering frenzied prayers, in the belief that the end of the world was at hand. The damage in New York city will horror is under way. At the behest of the New Jersey public utilities commission two arrests have been made and a warrant has been issued for a third man. Those in custody are Albert M. Dickman, agent at Black Tom for the Lehigh Valley Railroad Co., and Alexander Davidson, superintendent of the National Storage Co., whose warehouses and docks occupied the greater part of the island. While causes of the explosion are still shrouded in mystery, the investigators declare they have determined this fact: There was illegal storage of high explosives on Black Tom island. This violation of the state and federal jaws is laid directly at the doors of the companies represented by Dickman, Johnson and Davidson. Safeguards, it was charged, were flagrantly ignored. Train Hits Automobile Monroeville, O—One was killed and another was probably fatally injured when train 8, Baltimore & Ohio railroad, crashed into an empty automobile at the Sandusky street crossing. The occupants of the automobile leaped from the machine when it stalled on the crossing, and reached safety, the engine demolishing the machine. The impact turned the engine and baggage car completely around and derailed them. The engine rolled on its side, crushing Fireman Hull and injuring Engineer McKettrick. Civil War Veteran Dead. Zanesville, O.-Gen. Robert Brown, aged 70, former Republican candidate for governor and past commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, is dead at his home here after a month's illness due to a general decline. He had lain at the point of death since Thursday. For nearly 40 years Gen. Brown was connected with the Zanesville Courier, now defunct, nearly half of that time as manager. For the past three years he had been secretary of the chamber of commerce. BEST IN NECKWEAR YELLOW TONE HERE DAINTINESS AWAY FROM HOME --- BEST COLOR FOR LAMPSHADE LATEST ACCESSORIES UPON WHICH COSTUME DEPENDS. Collar and Face for Which It Is Chosen Must Be Harmonious for Perfect Effect—Two Dainty Neck- wear Suggestions. Skill in selecting accessories is often the major asset of a woman who ranks as the best-dressed individual in her own set. Gloves, shoes, hat and neck dressing must be thought out carefully and the question of furs is one that comes up for consideration. The summer fur vogue is stronger than it was a year ago, when it first received general American recognition. Last year natural animal scarfs pretty well dominated the summer fur showing; but this season innumerable smart novelties are displayed. Stole scarfs lined with thin satin or chiffon, little three-cornered wraps of flat fur, collarettes and all sorts of clever little capes are shown. In regard to summer neckwear, it must be noted that many periods contribute, and a collar taken from the era of Henry II, Byron, Oliver Cromwell or Victoria may be equally smart, provided the collar and the face for which it is chosen as a framing blend harmoniously. Cape and chin effects are extremely good and sailor, cavalier and Eton shapes are also favored. Some tailored collars of pique or linen have organdie collar, capes of net, butiste, etc., are thought highly of and are worn with frocks of silk, volle and other sheer summer fabrics. Cromwell collars or organdie daintily embroidered are youthful and smart. Fichu collars show best when made of some very soft, thin fabric, such as georgette crepe, crepe de chine, mousseline de soie or chiffon, and collars suggesting the Henry II period are made of thin material and are boned to keep them erect and in shape. The question of collars and many other accessories of dress is limited only by the inclination of the individual to set brain and fingers to work on. Its Achievement Never an Easy Matter, and Calls for Much Time and Attention. Daintiness has ever been the most malturing of feminine attributes, but attaining it is no small trouble. To be truly dainty a woman must spend time and money attending to the little items of her toilette that give her the right to the adjective. To achieve daintiness while traveling is an art. Several bottles should be included in the traveling bag or case. One should A A very dainty and charming evening gown is this one of white tulle. Its simplicity adds a tone of richness and "quality" to it which ornamentation would fail to do. The skirt falls in simple lines in the front but is draped just a trifle in the back. The waist is extremely decollete with a semi-blouse effect. Excellent Reason Why Rose Shade Never Seems to Lose Its Popularity. Green may be a good color for the eyes. Violet may be an esthetic color. Yellow may be a cheerful color. But rose color is the most becoming color for a lampshade. Fortunately, most people realize this fact. At hotels and restaurants and in private houses where the decorations are planned to emphasize the best in the persons who live among them, rose colored lampshades are much in evidence. Lampshades always ought to be planned with a view to the light they cast. That is why the rose-colored shade is the most becoming. For any woman knows that her color glows more under a rose light than under any other, that wrinkles are minimized that skin is softened and that every vestige of prettiness she possesses is emphasized by this soft color. the development of novelties, for actual cost enters in a very small degree into the matter. Odds and ends of lace or other leftover dress trimming or fabrics may with excellent results be pressed into service. Two suggestions are offered in the sketch shown herewith. The upper picture gives a collar and cuff set, employing black satin and white organde, with small white pearl buttons as the finishing touch, and the lower sketch THE HAT Dainty Accessories That May Be Made at Home. shows a simple round collar of rose-colored georgette crepe, caught with a bow of French blue velvet ribbon. The question of veils is also an important one when selecting the summer accessories of dress. Many net and face veils as well as the more serviceable chiffon ones, are fashionable, and there is a considerable color range to choose from. The wise woman will try the effect of the different colors on her own complexion before choosing. contain alcohol to cleanse the skin with. Pure alcohol may or may not agree with a tender skin, so that if it is diluted with half rain water and half alcohol no possible irritation can result. This liquid, when dabbed gently over the skin with pads of absorbent cotton while traveling will remove the dust and prevent it from getting embedded in the skin. Benzoin is another necessary of the traveler's kit. This also is to be patted into the skin, and may be poured, a few drops at a time, into the wash basin of the train dressing room to soften the water. The odor of tincture of benzoin is delightfully aromatic and a dash of toilet water afterward makes the skin as fresh as a rose. Good cold cream of course is not overlooked in the list, only it is taken so much for granted that the other articles mentioned above are to be looked on as its successors. The cream should be rubbed into the skin when milady starts out on her journey, after the pores of the skin have been cleansed and opened. Then follows the benzoin and toilet water treatment. The last requisite is a bottle of pungent smelling salts for probable train sickness. Everyone knows the nauseating sensation after an hour or two on the train. If smelling salts are at hand, the knowledge of their presence is reassuring. Bright Silver and Tulle What in the world did fashion do before someone thought of silver ribbon and tissue for gaslight wear? An enchanting dance frock just completed is made of white tulle and silver ribbons—nothing else, if one excepts a simple foundation slip of silver tissue which gleams delicately through the floating skirt of tulle. There are in fact three skirts of tulle, and on the second one is a wide silver ribbon, set at the knee. The girdle is of similar silver ribbon run across the chiffon underbodices, below the drapery of tulle. At the front of the skirt, about eight inches below the waistline, is set a tab of silver ribbon fastened to the tulle with rosettes of narrower silver ribbon, and from the girdle depend four tabs of ribbon likewise trimmed with silvery rosettes. Can you imagine the sparkle and drifting whiteness of this lovely frock on a ballroom floor? To Press a Plaited Skirt When pressing a plaited skirt, after you have laid the skirt on the ironing board fold the plaits evenly and pin them to the ironing blanket at the bottom. Hold the waistband firmly with the left hand, and iron from the bottom toward the top. Hold the plait tightly as you iron it. Sunlight emphasizes wrinkles and makes the skin look harder—and nobody minds on the golf courses or the skating pond. But in the evening, when woman puts forth her greatest efforts in the matter of dress, she wants to look her prettiest; and this the rose-colored lampshade helps her to do. Dresses for Fall There is a great diversity in the dress styles now shown, the Dry Goods Economist says. In the Louis XV styles, which have adoption in the higher class dresses, there is a tightening of the bodice and an increase in the fullness in the skirt. In sharp contrast to this fashion are the Russian blouse dresses and those which are cut on straight lines with an elongated waistline. Draperies and tunices appear in a wide range of effects. Some of the smartest draperies are of bourbant character. A few princess gowns are shown, many having broken lines over the hips. TENDENCY TOWARD THAT COLOR IS MARKED. Suggestion Comes From France and Seemingly Is to Be Taken Up on This Side of the Water—Af- ternion Frocks. The tendency toward ocher and champagne colorings is strengthened, rather than weakened, by the advance of midsummer. France suggests August gowns in these tones in charmeuse, chiffon and embroidered net for all hours, from noonday net to midnight. One of the attractive gowns designed for Newport, is of ocher-colored chiffon and taffeta, to be worn in the afternoon with an immense sail hat of ocher-colored straw. In this frock, the full skirt is laid into the walstine in plaits that are so limp that they would entirely reveal the outline of the figure, if it were not for the long, sleeveless redingote worn THE LADY IN A WIDE HAT Pink Crepe de Chine Blouse Veiled in Gray Mousseline of Soie. Pink Crepe de Chine Blouse Veiled in Gray Mousseline of Soie. over the frock. The bodice is half low in front and has full low sleeves that come out from the long armholes of the redingote which are outlined with brown fur and deep cream, guipure lace. Every prophecy points to the fact that France wants to revive the plum color worn by men in the early part of the nineteenth century, and it is said that our best tailored suits will be made in this tone in broadcloth next winter, with the deep lapels of the coat ending in three silver buttons at the waistline. As a straw sent out to show in which direction to look for the wind of fashion, there is a new afternoon frock made of plum-colored chiffon and satin. The skirt has an apron front outlined by ribbon; the slim, tight bodice has long, wrinkled sleeves of the chiffon which cling to the arm from shoulder to wrist. The decolletage is slightly low and quite round. It makes one think that the rumor may be true of the elimination of collars on bodices and blouses in the new gowns offered in August, and even with separate blouses. The French designers are indulging in round or Renaissance necklines, minus the high, rolling collar which has prevailed in America for over a year. One design shows a white chiffon blouse with its front and back veiled in apple-green chiffon, the fifteenth century neck outlined with a narrow, upright band of green chiffon. The sleeves are slightly full and so long that they are tied in at the wrist with narrow bracelets of green velvet ribbon. With this blouse goes a large, second empire hat in green straw and chiffon, with a band of daisies on the brim placed such a way that they seem to give it the necessary tilt in the middle of the back and front. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) How to Wash Your Face. One of the methods of acquiring a clear, white complexion is so simple that it is almost amusing. It is merely to wash the face properly. This should be as regularly a part of the toilet at night as brushing the teeth. The procedure is in this wise: With hot water and a pure white soap thoroughly cover the face with lather, using a good complexion brush. The latter is better than a washcloth because it "scrubs" better and acts as a good stimulant to the blood vessels of the face.
