SOUTHERN ATROCITIES Are Seldom Published in the News papers, North or South—Why Our People Are Leaving That Section of the Country. Atlanta, Ga., June 4—If there is any one question agitating the minds of the colored Georgian more than another it is the question of migration. Among the leading men it is almost a universal topic, and when some one from the border, northern, eastern or western states happens to drop down to the North, "What about our people in the North?" And when north is said it means anywhere outside of what is generally regarded as the strictly southern states. Maryland is generally included among the northern states, and this topic when it is known that hundreds are leaving this state every day. A conservative estimate is that fifteen hundred leave this state weekly. They crowd the stations, especially Saturday and Saturday nights, and leave for every section of the north, where they are west as California. Efforts by way of intimidation, are being made to keep them from leaving, in many instances going so far as to arrest them on "trumped up" frivolous charges. But if they are prevented from leaving any point in the daytime, they slip off at night and travel miles to another location, so determined are they to be off. Some of the Causes. "Men who are in a position to know tell with almost bated breath, and in strict, seclusion of their homes, or places where there is no likelihood of being heard, are doing more harm than doing in France or Belgium. Numbers of cases that never come to public light, are related of men and women driven from their homes, shot down, lynched and beaten to death. There are, possibly, housed in the government, of which the government is, or appears to be, absolutely ignorant. Not a Negro sits on a jury anywhere in Georgia; and when it comes to justice in a court, it is a thing almost unknown. Many instances are known in this state' of magistrates (white) sitting in judgment, who are so ignorant that they cannot write their own names. For a Negro to get into court simply means that he is on his way to punishment (in most cases, whether he is innocent, whether he is guilty party, then some innocent Negro must suffer. I have been told that not only men and boys are frequently insulted, but girls and women as well, and it is not infrequent that the faces of young girls and women are slapped by conductors on the street cars. Today, there are thousands upon thousands of acres of land that lie untouched by the plow. I rode for miles and saw thousands of acres and not a single hand in the fields anywhere. Many of our people are just gathering out and putting out, more especially where it is not possible to sell their goods. In some cases one hears of families who have accumulated some property, being unable to sell because of their going to leave for the north. Of course there is nothing to do, then but to abandon, in many instances, a life's saving and get out. So many people have their tickets and places to go, but many more have not. It is generally conceded that the exodus has just begun and no one is willing to prophesy as to the future. J. H. M. A Stern Chase. Although not overparticular about her work, Mrs. Brownstone's new maid, feshif from the Evergreen Isle, was somewhat of a sticker for precision in language. "It after eight yet?" asked Mrs. B—"of her one morning as she came in from the kitchen on some erand. "Yis, mum," replied Bridget, carefully weighing her words. "It is ather it all right, but it hasn't got there yit! It has five minutes yit to thrivel!" Man Worships Something. Man, always, worships something; always he sees the infinite shadowed forth in something finite; and indeed, can and must so see it in any finite thing, once temt him well to fix his eye, thereon. -Carlyle. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1882 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. FRANCIS M. DENT. Brilliant Young Collegian Being Trained at Fort Myer, Va., to Serve as Officer in New Federal Army—Was Formerly Adjutant of Cadets, Dunbar High School, Washington. Washington.—It is gratifying to note that our race is represented in the military officers' reserve trailing camps recently authorized by congress and formally opened on May 14. Of the 200,000 apprehensible only 60,000 were accepted, and 40,000 have reported for duty in the sixteen camps located in various sections of our country. It is a remarkable fact that of the 2,500 select men now at Fort Myer, Va., near Washington, one of that number being trained as an officer of the United States army is Francis M. Dent of Amherst, college, Massachusetts, class of 1917, under special provisions made by the faculty because of war emergency. He passed an excellent physical and military examination and was highly recommended by President Meltkebleman, Dean Professor Olds and the head of the Latin department. In this connection it is interesting to note that Amherst college is also the alum mater of such distinguished men as, Secretary of State Lansing, Governor Whitman of New York and the late Hon. Joseph Chote, ex-embassador to England. Young Dont was also a classmate of Mr. Humphrey Ridick, son of Hon. William C. Redfield, secretary of commerce. He is a Sobrina man and wears the charm that has a peculiar distinction for every son of Amherst college. Before entering Amherst, he graduated from the famous Dumur high school of Washington, where he was adjutant of the battalion of High School cadets. He is a modest young man, but courageous and brilliant when occasion demands. An instance of this is the fact that last year when the "Birth of a Nation" was being commended in the chapel service because of its alleged historic value young Deat voluntarily arose in the chapel amid the large student body and the college faculty and in seating terms denounced the play by Dixon as false in history and a villainous attack upon a helpless race. Afterward when students and professors asked him for evidence upon which he based his spirited attack he gave them, among other things, Governor McCullis's "History of William Lloyd Garrison," Major John R. Lynch's "Work on Reconstruction," Rev. Dr. F. J. Grinkke's strong address on the "Birth of a Nation" and "The Crisis" so edited by Dr. Dudblus. Young Dent is the son of Professor and Mrs. T. M. Dent of Washington, who formerly lived in Rome, Ga., where he was born Feb. 19, 1894. Mr. Dent, whose commendable emblem is to serve his school, is a poor young man who by pluck and the true American spirit, worked his way through college, and his splendid record and sterling example should be an inspiration to every youth in the land irrespective of race. Hampton Students Show Great Thrift: That members of the Hampton Institute graduating class are alive to the economic, educational and social problems of the passing hour is shown by the questions which the boys have been debating in their English classes. Here are a few of the questions which they have discussed: "Negro Migration to the North Should Be Encouraged." "Ignorance is a Great Menace to Civilization than Poverty." "The Submarine Is More Effective in Modern Warfare than the Dreadnaught." "Emmy Institute Is of More Value to the Negro Race Than Howard University." "All Labor Disputes in the United States Should Be Settled by Arbitration." Young College Men For Army Officers Great interest is being taken in the movement to publish large numbers of young college breed men to be trained as army officers at the new camp, just established for that purpose by the war department. Applicants are being rapidly enrolled under the auspices of the Theta Alpha Phil Alpha fraternity at Washington. *New Carlton Avenue* Y. M. C. A Home The Capitol avenue branch. Y. M. C. A., has closed the contract for the erection of its new building at a cost of $200,000, including cost of plot and furnishings. The branch will have its headquarters at 907 Fulton street, Brooklyn, during building operations, which were begun on Thursday May 24. YOUNG COLLEGE MEN SHOW PLUCK BIG VICTORY FOR THE RACE Success of Patriotic Movement Led by Group of Students, and Backed by Broad Klimad Men and Women of Both Rimaud Men and Women of Both Rimaud Has Significant Boaring on Future of Colord Americans. On Saturday, May 14, the war department authorized the establishment of an officers' reserve corps training camp for colored officers for the new federal army at Los Molinos, La., to start June 15, the decision, which came as the result of persistent effort of Howard University, the central committee of Negro colleges and many distinguished men and women of both races, is regarded by qualified opinion as the greatest opportunity for Negroes since the civil war. The establishment of this 'camp marks a radical change in the policy of the American government. For years Negroes, with a few exceptions, have been excluded from holding official positions in the army and may. West Point and Amphipolis have been practically closed to them. One colored man after another has sought to secure training offered to other classes of American citizens, but no amount of democratic argument or political influence could convince the administration of the justice of such appeal. The war, however, has brought a new situation, a civil's faces the country, and when conscription passed the questions immediately arose: How can colored men serve it by their country? Shall they stand on the abstract theory of equal rights, or shall they with common sense meet a practical situation for the advancement of the race and the welfare of the nation? Already fourteen camps have been established for the training of white officers. The war department has officially declared that it would be impractical to admit colored men to any of those camps, which would mean that the thousands of intelligent Negroes in the United States would be forced under the conscription, bill to serve us privates with little possibility of opportunity to rise above noncommissioned officers. Loyal to the cause of the Negro, believing in the principle of equality, but at the same time realizing that obstinacy is not firmness, when the government refused to open its camps to all its citizens a separate camp was sought as the next best thing for securing officers. The Negro, ever ready and willing to serve his country, has been kept out of official positions too long. The time has come when he should occupy a place in our army and may similar to that which he occupies in other spheres of American life, and it is believed that in effecting the training and equipping of one or two thousand officers the central committee of Negro college men has brought about a movement that will not only add to the brilliant records of Bunker Hill, San Jum and Cerraliz, but will make the Negro in truth and in deed a fundamental part of the national life of the United States, a partner in the fight for a world democracy, establish Negro leadership on a stronger and firmer basis, belle the accusation that the Negro is it for nothing else than a subordinate and pave the way for greater and higher things. All young men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty, having high school education and physically strong, are requested to send their names, height, age, weight, previous military experience, if any, and school attended to the central committee of Negro college men, Howard university, Washington, C. B. Curley, general secretary. Examining stations will be opened at all Young Men's Christian associations, from which applicants may forward their names to Secretary Curley as mentioned above. The leaders in the movement wish it understood that they do not accept the camp as segregation—they are wholly opposed to such discrimination—but they do accept it as a means to an end and as an opportunity for the 100,000 colored men to be chosen for war duty, to be offered by men of their own race. The camp accommodations and pay will be the same as those for white men. The railroad fare of those who go to the camp will be refunded. Taft Expresses Faith in Our Loyalty. Former President William Howard Taft in a recent address at Augusta, Ga., denounced as ridiculous the report that German agents have made any headway toward notting the colored people to be disloyal to the flag, Mr. Taft was speaking on the issues of the war. The colored race is loyal to this government, the former president declared with an emphasis that could not be misunderstood. High Compliment Paid to Our Sailors. Discussing the fighting qualities of the colored man as a sailor, a high naval authority on May 17 said: "One of the most remarkable phases of the development of the American marine is the adaptability of the American Negro as a sailor. Ships' masters have declared them to be among the bravest of crews under the most trying situations." [Image of a black man with a mustache, wearing a suit and tie.] HON. JAMES WELDON JOHNSON. the mass meeting, Sunday after at Antioch Baptist church, under auspices of the local branch of A. A. C. P., was well attended, organizer Jas. W. Johnson, speaker, proved an interesting er. He has toured the South in at months and has organized new new branches of the associac- tive Atlanta there is a chance of 130 eminent work immediately and kept the sev- grade from being removed from curriculum of the public schools the race.

It might be, or, rather, I be were the whites to make or, rather, let the race make so forces against the race are united; before, our efforts cannot be indi- al, but must be united." Mr. Johnson talked fully fifty minutes, then answered questions. A call for new members was made, as usual. A motion by Rev. J. S Jackson, se- conded by Rev. H. C Bailey, president of the local N. A. C. P. branch, was made and carried "to turn over" to it (the branch) the $30 left from it The Birth of a Nation' legal fight which was a perfect failure as forecasted in the book of 130 eminent work immediately and kept the sev- grade from being removed from curriculum of the public schools the race.

Mr. THAT MEMPH What Such Cowardly an Do for the South---- So Shall THAT MEMPHISTRAGEDY! What Such Cowardly and Barbaric Acts Should Do for the South----"As A Nation Sows So Shall It Reap" The tragedy enacted at Memphis, Tennessee, recently shows the results of many years' reign of unbridled passion and brutality on the part of South white men. No one would justify rape. A rapist deserves the extreme punishment of the law but not the atrocious butchery of a mob. The only thing that differentiates civilized people from savages is the reign of law. It takes a people highly civilized and possessed of self-control to abide by the orderly procedure of law. This virtue is woefully lacking in the south. The nearly ten thousand people witnessing that blackest crime are very little removed from savagery. Duty the young boys and girls who should and sang white bile the poor wretched slaves in the city. Were very much concerned about the colored men and women should immediately arrange their affairs and depart from every portion of the south where such as occurred at Memphis is condensed. The time has come when southern barbarians, now in the possession of the government of the south, be left to themselves. A peaceful and decent people should not and cannot live among them. The fields of the south should be left to white southerners to cultivate. Every colored nurse should immediately forsake her charge and even through suffering seek other climes where life is secure and humanity has a show. The northern Christians maintaining missions for colored people in the south should establish missions for southern whites who need them more than the Fiji islanders. The weapon has crazed the south and many years of brutality have seared their consciences till every instinct of justice has flown. The Wilson administration has emboldened the south to run riot in its lawlessness. So long as he democratic party is in power and southern sectionalists rule, the life of colored people in the south will not be considered worth a penny. The sure weapon is to take the colored people out of the south. No attention should be paid to white or black persons asking colored people to remain. If they remain, the only thing they can expect is torture and death. The colored chauffeur that tore up the American flag is not disloyal to that flag but is disgusted at the protection that flag gives him or a colored man accused of a crime. Millions of colored men who will fight for this nation till the last drop of blood flows --- Johnson talked fully fifty minutes then answered questions. A call for new members was made, as usual. A motion by Rev. J. S. Jackson, seconded by Rev. H. C. Bailey, president of the College, called to turn over to it (the branch) the $30 left from "The Birth of a Nation" legal fight which was a perfect failure as forecasted in The Gazette. This motion was out of place and worthless because Sunday's "mass meeting" was purely an N.A. day of all three organizations, the presidents of which were elected a committee to take charge of the funds collected to assist in that legal contest. The meeting in which their election took place was called by representatives of all three organizations, the Council, of our Women's Clubs, the Cleveland Association of Colored Men and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. No ONE of these organizations has any right to call a mass meeting, without the consent of the other two, intentional or not such action is taking an unfair advantage of two of the three organizations named and their friends. HIS TRAGEDY! and Barbaric Acts Should "As A Nation Sows It Reap" from their wounds, think like this chauffeur. In the south, the flag is not supreme, it is the flandish brutality of the red necks and dastardly cowards; "white trash." The time to temperize with this class of America's worst enemies has passed. This nation cannot escape bearing the brunt of the shame of such a disregard of law and the rights of humanity while it is "lighting for humanity." The civilized world is not deceived. Hypocritical pretenses deceive no one. The almost universal opposition to the present war is due to the fact that the American people are dissatisfied with how this nation is being governed. At no period in the history of the nation has such indifference manifested itself when the country was in peril. The powers that have the government don't seem to be able to get the confidence of the people. By asking for the administration refuse the offers of an ex-President and hosts of true Americans of all races, is the cause of the indifference. The permission of such butcheries, as happened in Memphis and Abbeville, S. C., to go unpunished and unrebuke of federal and administration authorities, has shaken the confidence of many "Americans downfall" of this nation if it will come to be due to southern wickedness, incompetence and savage lawlessness. As a nation sows so shall reap. In the name of humanity we demand a cessation of southern atrocities. We demand a restoration of the franchise to every colored man upon the same terms as whites have it. We demand fair and impartial trials before juries that will not forwear themselves knowing that they have no intention of doing justice to colored litigants. We demand that every barrier that stands in the way of the colored race enjoying all of the rights of American citizenship be removed. These things we must have and will have. (REV.) WM. A. BYRD. OUR WAR CAMP PLANS OUR WAR CAMP PLANS: Washington, D. C., June 4.—The chief of staff of the army gives these plans for training camps for African American citizens to be established at Rort Des Moines, Iowa: The camp is under control of the central department. The total attendance will be 1250, of whom 250 will be noncommissioned officers of our four regiments in the regular army. The training camps were ready to receive the noncommissioned officers of the regular army, June 5, and all others June 15. The course of instruction begins June 18. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS EAGLE FIFTY YEARS OF EFFORT AT ATLANTA UNIVERSITY Time Honored Southern School Ends Term With Big Results. Atlanta, Ga.—On Wednesday, May 30, Atlanta university, in this city, graduated seventeen young women from the normal course and nine men from the college course with a degree of bachelor of arts. Fifty-three students completed the high school course. The commencement speaker was the Rev. Horace Bumstead of Brookline, Mass., president of Atlanta university. This year marks the fifthth anniversary of the chartering of this institution, and Dr. Bumstead gave a historical address. President Edward T. Ware preached the inaugural sermon on Sunday, May 27. The following day the twenty-second annual conference for the study of Negro problems was held. The subject of economic cooperation among the colored people of Georgia was discussed. Among the speakers were the Rev. Washington Gladden, D. D., of Columbus, O.; Monroe N. Work of Tuskegee institute and Miss Rosa Lowe, general secretary of the Atlanta Anti-tuberculosis association. During the year $13,000 has been added to the invested funds in gifts and bequests and about $50,000 additional has been subscribed toward the endowment fund of $300,000. — The trustees of Atlanta university have offered the buildings and grounds, in case of need, for war purposes, to the United States government. The grounds are already under skilful cultivation, making a valuable demonstration of the possibilities of intensive gardening. Two teachers and fifty students have volunteered for the training camp for officers of Negro soldiers. IDÉAL BUSINESS COLLEGE. Practical Work on a Thrifty Institution at Memphis, Tenn. Nashville, Tenn.—The leading Negro business college in the world is located at/Memphis, Tenn., according to the latest bulletin issued by the Nashville Negro Board of trade of this city. The Henderson Business college, states the bulletin, has passed the experimental stage, owning equipment to PRESIDENT HENDERSON AND CURICAL FORCE IN CHICAGO. the value of $14,000. Professor George W. Henderson is president of this thirtyff racial institution. At present there are enrolled at the school 105 young men and women of our race who are preparing themselves for practical and useful business careers. This business college was founded by Professor George W. Henderson of Muppetland, a place possessed of annual literary attainment. He holds eleven different diplomas; including a college degree from Roger Williams university, at Nashville, Tennessee. Professor Henderson is considered the champion shorthand writer and typist of the colored race and is also an expert in accounting and commercial law. In addition to these qualifications, he has won recognition as a writer and essayist, being termed the "Black Herbert Kaufman." Miller Offers to Raise. Army of 30,000. In all sections of the country the colored people are offering their services to the state, nation or municipality in which they live to aid in some way in the present war against Germany. The offer of the Hon. Thomas E. Miller of South Carolina to organize an army of 30,000 colored men to go to the front is enough to silence forever, it seems, any statement that the colored people are not loyal to the flag of their country. When the colored people of South Carolina and Georgia begged to shoulder arms against the enemy in this crisis every trudder of the Negro race in America ought to hide his face in shame. Tristate Medical Association Meets. The Tristate Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical association meeting at Memphis, Tenn., from Tuesday, May 22 to 24, inclusive, included in its program of discussion many topics of first importance to the health and well-being of the race. The meeting also records a high note of progress and patriotism. The city of Memphis is richer in racial good will because of the presence of this body of capable men and women, who are interested and working for the advancement of both races, the states and the nation.

Dr. Frissell, of Hampton Institute, Virginia, unmasked himself recently and allowed the world to know his estimate of the colored race besides his attitude toward their constitutional rights. ‘The fact that a man is a citi zen of the United States is prima facie ‘evidence that he deserves all of the privileges and rights America xives to her citizens. The distinction drawn by Dr, Frissell evidences that he does ‘not believe a colored person should have the same rights, white persons enjoy in this country. Every man should deserve his rights, and these rights can only be denied him legally when he commits some crime that de- bars him. By “deserving,” Dr. Frissell means colored people should seek only such thingg as the white people among whom bE lives approve. He is ‘to be satisfied with whatever station in life white people give him. ROT! His two examples, held up as ideals for the colored race, are two individ uals trained in the school over which he now is presiding. These two men, above all others in public life, exem- plify the spirit of cringing and pander- ing to the damnable prejudice of southern murderers. One of them forsook his wife and bowed submis- sively to “southern traditions,” thus ‘approving her ejection from a Pull- man car. The days of Booker T, Washington are over, He did what he felt was right. He was a true disciple of the cowardly, cringing doctrine taught him at Hampton. He preached this doctrine until his eyes were opened, and at his death he was among the real champions of “de- manding rights” and not truckling for them. Booker Washington threw off the tiny shell of Hampton and dared defy the hatred of the south. He saw the light and he said to the world that his race deserved the rights any other races deserved. His successor has just begun. If he, however, follows in the footsteps of his teacher, Dr. Fris: sell, he is doomed now to scorn and contempt on the part of his race who will not be satisfied with anything less than the equal rights in all things ‘America gives her citizens. Dr. Fris- sell would do the race a favor by im mediately resigning, He is not the man to rear up colored men who shall be American citizens. The trustees of Hampton will do well to insist upon his resigning. His retraction will not suffice, Dr. Frissell, like most north- ern white men going south to teach colored people, out-Herods Herod in snobbishness and advocating the ac- quiescing of colored men in whatever wrongs that may be done them. No man is fit to teach colored people who will train the youth that there are in- ferlor to any race, No one should be allowed to teach colored youths that teach them to be satisfied with any- thing less than a white boy in his station would accept. Hampton should be boycotted if Frissell does not re- sign, In this crucial hour, when de- mocracy is seeking to rule the world, why should any race bow its head in submission to another and accept any- thing that race-prejudice imposes upon it? It is time Dr. Frissell should know that the American Negro is not any more particular about having the good wishes of white people than white peo- ple are about having the Negro’s. The colored race will not £0 one step out of its way, by cringing and grinning, THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917. to have any man call it good. The southern policy of Negro-hating and treating them as they please is now at an end. If Hampton and Tuskegee are being fostered to keep alive that spirit of slavery, the quicker they are razed to the ground the better for all concerned. Clearly Dr. Frissell has lost his usefulness and should retire. Some sane, marly colored man should take his place. Some man that has respect for himself and his race, and will not destroy their manhood for pelf, gain and approvals of cowardly white men, (REV.) WM. A.

This endless chain letter will help the trustees of Slater Industrial Colored School, at Winston-Salem, N.

It is one of the most important colored schools in the entire South. Please write two or three copies of this letter, as I have done, sign your name, and mail to friends; then enclose ten cents or more in this one to William A. Blair, Blair, National Bank, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, treasurer of the school all these years. The Colored Students are brave brave Soldiers, their families must be cared for.

John Albert Williams, of St. Philip's church, Omeha, Neb. was recently re-elected secretary of the diocese of Nebraska at the annual Church council. His name was the only one submitted and the election was unanimous. The Nebraska diocese is the only one in the country having an Afro-American priest serve it as secretary. The position is a responsible one. Mr. Chester A. Smith, 9 Greenville Place, Boston, Mass., Sir: Your letter of the 24th inst. to the secretary to President Wilson, Mr. Tumulty, relative to the burning of a Negro at Memphis, Penn., has been referred to this department.

Just what The Gazette has maintained, for years. At the annual interclass song competition held at Radcliffe College, Harvard University, May 24, "Just on the Other Side," sung by the junior class was chosen by the judges as the best college song. Miss Mary M. Gibson, 18, composed the music and accompanied her class. The song will be included in the annualized college song and thus will have at Radcliffe for all time. The 1918 class song, another of Miss Gibson's compositions, was sung also on this occasion, by the junior class. Miss Gibson is the only Afro-American junior. Southern Congressmen, for the most part, are strongly opposed to any program which includes the same rights for colored citizens as are enjoyed by others. Though the Afro-American is included in the program for universal army training, the army bill provides: "White and colored enlisted or enrolled men shall not be organized in or assigned to the same organization." Thus democracy is shattered in one instance as far as the Afro-American is concerned by providing "jincrow" troops, etc. *Prof. J. D. M.

MISS LILLIAN EVANS Heard in Senior Vocal Recital at College of Music of Howard University —Receives Degree of Bachelor of Music—First to Graduate From Complete Course With Vocal Music as Major Subject. Washington, D. C.—The final public exercises of Howard University in lieu of its public commencement, not held this year, was the senior vocal recital of Miss Lillian Evans, '17, on a recent Friday night. The varied program of the little allist, arranged English, French, German and American songs by Coleridge-Taylor, Rubner, Schumann, Sir Henry Bishop and our own Harry Thacker Burleigh. The stage manner of Miss Evans was "petite" and perfect, and her simple gown of her own design and making was so in keeping with her unaffected manner as to win standing applause opening "Charmant oiseau" by David showed the wide range of her voice as did the "Bird of the Wilderness" in her last group which won salvos of applause. "My Laddie," "Il Neige," "Pierrot," "Come Child Beside Me," "Chere nuit," "Standchen" won round after round of appreciation and the final number. "Three Shadows" by Burleigh, foundering when the audience broke from its spell and rushed to the stage to greet her. Miss Evans began her studies under Mrs. Harriett Gibbs Marshall, founder of the Washington Conservatory of Music, several years ago and entered Howard University in 1813. She is distinctly an Ohio girl, who was born in Chicago and of Oberlin who served his time in the Oberlin-Wellington rescue of '57, and the grand niece of Abendan Leary who died with John Brown at Harper's Ferry in '59.

Washington, D. C.—America has made her answer in round figures to Germany's sneering charge that we bear a wooden sword. Reports from all corners of the nation are being received at the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder on the registration for war service. These dispatches show an extraordinarily heavy registration, although apparently not as at first indicated, in excess of the census figures of the number of men subject to the conscription act. Figures in almost every state so far reported show the registration totals to be under the census estimates. Officials made it plain, however, that in their opinion this was not due to "slacking" or evasion of the law. The census figures white as accurate as it was possible to make them, were based on the census of 1910 to which the census bureau had added its estimate of the growth of population for each section. The figures, therefore, were necessarily somewhat wide of the mark and not an absolute criterion for comparison. War Department Pleased. The war department made no concealment of its satisfaction at the results of the registration. Two-thirds of the men registering for service under the draft act are claiming exemption from service, it was learned at the office of Provost Marshal General Crowder. As only a small percentage of the claims will be allowed, it is believed the total number available will not be materially reduced. The round-up of slackers has begun in earnest. The steps which now follow—the routine after registration which precedes the actual departure of the selected men for training camps—were explained in detail for the first time. Gen. Crowder made the following statement for the benefit of the 10,000,000 or more men who are vitally interested: Gen. Crowder's Statement. Gen. Crowder's statement. "Registration marks the completion of the first well defined step in the execution of the selective service law. The actual recording has been practically finished in a single day, but the arrangement and copying of the cards, their segregation into appropriate groups, the publication of lists and the gathering in of delayed registra Rain Stops Riot in Pen. Jollet, Ill.—A very heavy downpour of rain at night proved more effective than bayonets in quelling an uprising of 1,000 convicts in the Illinois state prison, after one prisoner had been killed and eight other persons injured. Two hundred convicts, herded together in one corner of the prison yard jeering at state militiamen, were the last to hold out. But, soaked to the skin, they surrendered gradually in groups and were locked up. Guardsmen and prison guards searched the yard thoroughly. American Clergymen Aid In War. Washington, D. C. The great majority of 70,000 clergymen appealed to by the department of agriculture are aiding the campaign to stimulate production and avoid waste in the home, it was announced by Assistant 'Secretary of Agriculture Vrooman. A typical case is that of Rev. Dr. William M. Hindman, pastor of the Northminster Presbyterian church of Columbus, O. Under his supervision his congregation of more than 1,300 has taken a large farm on the outskirts of the Buckeye capital.

Of this vast army approximately two-thirds, or about 340,000, claimed exemption for various causes—dependencies, physical disabilities, employment and sundry other reasons. Most exemptions were claimed on dependency. Eliminating those claiming exemptions, there remains approximately 160,000 young men who as much as said to their governor, "Here I am, do with me what you like." Returns received at the office of Provost Marshal Turney from all but 580 precincts out of a total of 5,755 in the state showed a total registration of 491,156. With these missing precincts added the total for the entire state is expected to reach approximately 515,000, or about 30,000 in excess of the government estimates. Should all those claiming exemption be exempted and following the average of 45 per cent of rejections for physical disability, there will remain about 88,000 eligible for draft. This would require the drafting of approximately five out of every nine subject to serve to raise the contemplated quota of a million men for the first army. Should the first proposition to raise only half a million men on the first draft be adhered to by the government, then less than one out of every three who are subject to call have to go. So far there have been exceedingly few reports of attempts to evade registration. Officials believe not more than one hundredth of 1 per cent did not register. In all cases where reports 'were received of attempts at evasion, registration officials were instructed to obtain the registration be fore arrests are made. tions will consume a week or 10 days. In the meantime the machinery of the registration is be readjusted to serve as machinery for the further execution of the law. This work is proceeding rapidly and should be completed coincidentally with the tying up of loose ends of registration. "When this is all done regulations governing the jurisdiction of the local boards will be issued and the machinery will then be ready to proceed to the drawing which will result in a determination of the order in which registered men will be examined for the purpose of their selection for military and industrial service. When the list of order is determined, it is expected the war department will be able to make a definite call for men and as soon as this data is available the quotas necessary to fill the first call will be assigned to the several states. "The policy of decentralization, the application of which has so successfully consummated the registration, will be adhered to throughout. The various states, knowing the number of men which they must call and the order in which each particular man is to be examined, can then assign to the various local boards the task of selecting the number of men necessary to complete the quota for the locality under the jurisdiction of each board." Continue Recruiting for Guard. Columbus, Ohio—Adjt. Gen. Wood has sent instructions to all Ohio National Guard recruiting officers to continue recruiting for all units of the guard until June 16. Gen. Wood issued these instructions upon orders from Washington. Many persons, he said, had the opinion that recruiting for national guard units would stop after registration day. Many of the guard units have not recruited up to full war strength and strenuous efforts will be made to fill the gaps. Gives President Eggs Washington, D. C.—President WHison and his family breakfasted on the "best eggs Rome, Ga., can produce."

"I have a little present for the president—something for his breakfast-" and he produced a battered leather bag from which he took a dozen pure white eggs. "I knew the first Mrs. Wilson when she was a little girl," said the old man. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 1917 AMERICANS BAGU-BOAT U. S. Gunners Aim Shots Which Sink Submarine.

The location of the action between the merchant vessel and submarine which lasted an hour and a half was not given. Neither was the name of the American ship. The action lasted for an hour and a half. The thrilling details, told in the bare language of officialdom, follows: "The department of state is advised by telegraph of an engagement between an armed American steamer and a submarine. The guns of the steamer were manned by an American naval crew. "The submarine was first seen at about 7,000 yards. She had a six-inch forward and another aft. She flew no flag. "Upon sight of the submarine the steamer hoisted the American flag and waited for about 10 minutes. As the submarine approached the steamer fired. The submarine responded. The steamer kept up a speed that would permit the submarine to come within range. "Then followed a fight lasting for an hour and a half. The submarine came to a distance of about 2,300 yards. By that time the submarine had fired 25 shots and the steamer 25. "The last shot of the steamer apparently struck the submarine which was clear out of the water and stood stern end up for a few seconds. Then she disappeared. The captain of the steamer and the commander of the gun believe the submarine was sunk. "The steamer suffered no damage." GERMAN IS JAILED FOR CUTTING PHONE WIRES Camden, N. J.—While Fritz Urban, a German, is locked up in the Camden county jail on a charge of treason, secret service men are searching for two other men who, with Urban, are accused of cutting United States government telephone wires between New York and Washington. Three wires went "dead." The break was located near Ellisville, Chief of Police Linderman was notified. A short distance from Ellisville he came upon Urban on top of a telephone pole cutting the wires. He was arrested. Linderman caught sight of two other men running through the underbrush. THREE DEAD, SCORE HURT. IN A CYCLONE Detroit, Mich.—Three dead and at least a score injured is the toll of a cyclone that swept across southern Michigan from Battle Creek, Calhoun county, to the vicinity of Salem, Washtenaw county. Of the three dead two are reported to have been crushed under a falling house in Spring Port, 22 miles northwest of Jackson. The third victim was a year-and-a-half-old child. Scores of farm buildings were blown down and orchards uprooted all along the path of the storm from Battle Creek east. At Delhi, near Ann Harbor, many houses went down. To Increase Poultry Products Washington, D. C.—The statement made at the recent agricultural conference at St. Louis that the poultry products of the United States could be doubled within a year means that if everybody in a position to help did their part $600,000,000 worth of food would be added to our supply this year. This information is based on figures compiled by the federal department of agriculture. This includes both meat for the table and eggs. Lord Northcliffe Succeeds Balfour London, England—Lord Norlchiffe, England's most noted "firebrand," will shortly go to the United States to be in charge of the various British missions there. He has accepted an offer of the war cabinet to succeed Arthur B. Jaloutt, whose duties in the foreign office demand his return. Besides co-ordinating the British missions in America, Lord Norlchiffe will work in conjunction with the missions from other entente countries and with the American and Canadian governments. Naval Surgeons Given Clean Bill. Washington, D. C. — Naval surgeons in command of the hospital ship Solace were completely exonerated of charges of gross neglect and carelessness in treating sick sailors by a special investigating committee. The committee, composed of Dr. William H. Welch of Johns Hopkins hospital and Dr. Abraham Flexner of New York, two of the most noted physicians in the country, and Nathan Straus, famous philanthropist, made a visit to the fleet at the request of Secretary of the Navy Daniels. FLAGS ON SHADES Patriotic Influence Seen in Parasols and Hats. No Objection Seen to Giving Red White and Blue Place of Honor Above the Head. Milady will wear a military hat and shade it with a parasol on which are embroidered tiny American flags, and with the ferrule dying streamers of red, white and blue ribbon, if she is a really patriotic person this summer. A Patriotic Hat and Sunshade. The sketch illustrates a hat and parasol expressing the patriotic influence. The hat, a high-crowned affair, is made of rough white straw braid, the front strapped with narrow ribbon and topped with a severe feather motif. The whole suggestion carried in this hat is soldierly, and the very smart little parasol has each separate panel flag-becked, while streamers of ribbon carrying the national colors float proudly from its topmost point. The idea of decking parasols and hats with the national colors cannot be objected to, and if our country's flag is to be given a place in the sartorial line-up the hat or parasol would certainly seem to be the place for it, says the Washington Star. To trim a parasol in flags would not be difficult for the deft-fingered woman. The flag may be made entirely of embroidery, or tiny silk flags may be bought and one neatly and firmly applied to each white panel of the parasol. The hat shown is done entirely in white, but one clever little chapeau recently noted—a narrow-brimmed sailor of navy braid—was decked with a band of red, white and blue striped ribbon, and the front of the crown was centered with a big flaring rosette of red, white and blue. The truly patriotic person will probably object to handkerchiefs bearing the flag motif in the corner, although some of these kerchiefs are shown in the shops. One aggressive petticoat manufacturer who brought out petticoats with their ruffles flag bedded was promptly "sat upon." Giving the flag the place of honor above our heads, however, is eminently proper, and red, white and blue parasols and hats will undoubtedly be seen in a great variety of styles. ADDING THE FINE TOUCHES New Finishes Which Take Little Time and Appeal to Girl Who Makes Her Own Clothes. The girl who makes her own clothes is the one who is quick to appreciate new finishes, odd little touches which will make her garments look like the work of professionals. For her benefit, therefore, are gathered the following fine touches which take little time but add so much interest to a garment. A new blouse fastens in an unusually odd manner. A large vertical slit in the front of the blouse is bound with contrasting slit. It is caught at intervals of an inch or so, and buttons are provided on the underlapping side to fit in this series of buttonholes by the one long slit. Reading is lovely, but on wash fabrics it is not always the most practical thing in the world. To take the place of beads in a design calling for them, use French knots. If these are made with glossy silk, very hard and very tight, the illusion of beads will be quite good. A rather clever way to add tone to a plain handkerchief-linen blouse is to lay the fullness of the front into tucks and to work over the pressed edges of these tucks in a contrasting blanket-stitch. The same stitch will then be used around the edges of the collar and cuffs. If you are adding inserted pockets to your sports skirt make them more BLUE SERGE EVER FAITHFUL Holds Affections of Most Women No Matter What New Things May Come From the Loom. No matter what new and desirable things come out of the looms, dark blue cloth under several names holds the attention and the affection of a class of women who prefer to go along the path they know rather than try a new one. It is every woman's experience that a well-built suit of serge or its younger sister, gaberdines, goes through the season and usually begins the next one with more satisfaction to the wearer than all the other garments she has in her possession. She may call it her emergency suit or consider it in the second best class, but when the day of experiments is over she finds the blue cloth her faithful ally, says the New York Evening Sun. The strictly mannish jacket does not suit every mind, however it may suit every figure, and the dressmakers have brought out a number of new ideas that appeal to the class who fret prominent by embroidery around the opening. A pretty design for this effect is a basket of very small dainty flowers in colors, the basket appearing at the base of the pocket and the flowers clambering up and around the sides. On white or colored linen this extra touch is most effective. SIMPLE COLLAR IS NO MORE Fashion Has Decided That High, Roll- ing Japanese Neckwear Muat Be Worn This Season. There seems little hope for the simple turnover collar that has been such a large part and parcel of neckwear offerings for ten years. Fashion has decided that the neckwear must either be cut in the oblong of the middle ages and finished with flat stitchery collar of satin or faille must be worm, rolling high at the back of the neck, seemingly unboned and unstiffened, folding over in front and ending at the bust or the waist. When these collars are not of white satin they are of old gold and pearl gray. They are cut according to the Japanese and Chinese fashion, only more exaggerated in width and height. They do not hug the back of the neck, but stand away from it; they have no corners; they are rounded and go out well over the shoulders and fold in at the front. Women wear a tucker of folded tulle across the bust, beneath the collar. Again the inside of the collar is filled in with folds of white silk net, gently drawn down to the waistline and caught there with a brooch or a bar of jewels. Even the simplest shirtwalst of silk or wash satin has its high, rolling collar of the material. Organdie, embroidered muslin and the other inexpensive kinds of collars that were neatly attached to the neck line and rolled flatty over on the shoulders are placed in the second class of fashions. Fine laces are used for collars, but they are of coarse weaves, such as fillet and Irish crochet, and it is smarter to have them arranged in the Japanese fashion than to have them placed flatty on the shoulders. STRIKING EVENING GOWN Dorothy Hathaway & Hudson Miladi has no fear of rivals when she appears on the floor in a gown like this. It is one of the most strikingly original ever seen at an evening affair. Gold satin forms the underskirt. White and gold embroidered lace over satin-gold ribbon gives the creation a frail filmy attractiveness that is its principal feature. Gowns of Yellow Serge It is some time now since dresses of yellow serge embroidered with silver lace have been talked about and admired in Paris, but so far none of these has come West. That a yellow serge dress or suit would be well received here there is no doubt, for we have long proved the worth of serge, both dark and light, and more and more is yellow as a dress color gaining followers. Sashes of the Season Large, draped sashes appear on the French gowns. They are an especial feature of dinner and dance frocks. On street frocks the sashes are narrow, and the ends are slipped through each other in a simple manner at the back or side, but on evening gowns the sashes are used to form side draperies or serve as a foundation for beaded embroidery, crystal fringe or applied flowers. Japanese Quilts Japanese toweling is better used in the newer quilts. Large-sized blocks of the toweling are set together with plain blue to match the blue in the towel and the effect is delightful. over too much severity. These women declare that they delight in the plain garment, but that's a theory, not a fact, for the dressmaker cannot keep them to the straight and narrow way in clothes, no matter how much persuasion she brings to bear. There are ways, however, of achieving the effect of femininity as opposed to masculinity in a jacket without applying color or a different fabric. It can be done by a master hand in the artistic manipulation of material. Blue Satin and White Silk Jersey. A frock with a coat to match is of dark blue satin combined with white silk Jersey embroidered in blue, the latter used for the trimming section of the coat, also for the belted upper section of the dress, which has elbow-length kimono sleeves. A hat of navy blue Milan trimmed with cherries is worn. Some of the shops are featuring a trig little outfit for country wear, of khaki-colored wool, with cape attached. The belt and brass buttons complete the military effect. IN NEW DISGUISE Only a sharp eye would detect in the very dashing blue wool jersey of French blue, shown in the accompanying sketch, the lurking mother hubbard of two decades agone. But it is even more simple, for there is not a yoke. The jersey cloth, which is very A Mother Hubbard Up-to-Date. wide, is plain press plaited from shoulder to ankle. The neck is square across and a band of pearl gray wool chainstitch embroidery is half across the shoulders behind to hold the plaits in place. In front is a very broad, straight hand hammered on each side and em- Handy Receptacle for This Purpose Can Be Made From Remnant of Fairly Strong Material. Many women possess some favorite paper patterns that they frequently use, and if they are not taken great care of they are liable to become damaged and useless, or perhaps lost altogether, and they are sometimes rather difficult to obtain again. It is, therefore, well worth while to make a case in which different kinds can be kept separate from each other, so that any particular pattern can be selected without trouble. The sketch shows a good type of case to prepare for this purpose. It can be carried out with a remnant of any fairly strong material and lined with thin silk or saten. It is bound where indicated with narrow ribbon and the back and front are stiffened with pieces of card sine in between BLOUSES SKIRTS UNDERWEAR Patterns Handy Case for Paper Patterns. the cover and the fitting. The case inside is divided into three compartments, one for blouse patterns, one for skirt patterns and the other for patterns of underwear. The case fastens with two push studs, and in the small sketch on the right it is shown closed, and the word "patterns" can be worked upon the front of the flap where indicated. BRIGHTENING UP THE FROCK The girl who is clever at stenciling can brighten up an afternoon frock or outing costume by having the craut, the sash and the cuffs finished with stenciled ends. A more elaborate effect may be gained by using frinzes in conjunction with the stenciling, the two matching in color. Also if one has the time and patience combined with the knowledge, the suit of oyster-colored shantung, or of sutin georgette, may be overspread with a deep border of some simple stenciled design. Usually it is correct to have the skirt plain and the decoration confined to the hem of the coat, the collar and the cuffs. The Plaid and the Plain There is a fashion among the expensive makers of apparel to combine a plaid skirt with a jacket or jumper of plain material. This idea should be followed in making wash frocks. A plaid gingham skirt with a rose or yellow or blue waistcoat jumper, buttoned well down over the waistline and filled in with white muslin sleeves, would complete an admirable costume. These jumpers, or waistcoats, have been introduced in high and bright colors as adjuncts to white satin sports skirts and ornamental blouses, but there is no reason for their being confined to that area of dress. Rockets Attached to Belt One of the attractive new girdles, made of silk, shows two deep pockets hanging from the belt, one over each hip. This girdle is wide, and the pockets are deep, and it is one of those interesting accessories that adds quite a new tone to the frock with which it is worn. It could be developed in silk of almost any color, to harmonize with the figure in silk or cotton or linen fabric with a white ground of which the skirt it tops is made. broidered prettily in a scroll triangle, says the Kansas City Star. This band barely reaches to the arm pits, where it is attached to the dress with a stitching. At the waistline two long sashes are attached and these slip through triangles of embroidery fastened to the dress behind, cross and are left to hang loosely in front. There is a border of chain stitching round the hem which does not appear in the picture. HOST OF MILITARY FASHIONS Where All the Patriotic Frocks and Capes Came From So Suddenly Is Interesting Question. The shops have blossomed forth with military fashions. Just where they got all the red, white and blue bedecked garments, nobody knows. Of course, it was a comparatively easy matter for some energetic manufacturer to have strips of the three national colors stitched to a lot of silk gloves, or for another to have red, white and blue pipings added to an almost finished batch of organdle neckwear. But where did all the military frocks and capes come from? They are here, anyway, and they are very attractive. There are khaki skirts, that would be admirable for the woman who intends to do her part in the farming world this summer; they are decorated with shields and other insignia in the national colors on the pockets. There are all sorts of capes with a military look. Some of them are braided, some are trimmed generously with brass buttons. There are blue serge frocks that almost set one cheering, they so suggest a military parade. And so on it goes. When the European war began Paris launched a few military styles. They were accepted at first with enthusiasm, but later on other styles superceded them. BROOKLYN MUSEUM Large women who appreciate the svelt lines and excellent style of this newest of military fashions will be delighted to hear that this is just one pleasing example of what has been accomplished by designers and makers who specialize in svelt-line styles for "over-size" figures. FASHION'S FANCIES A gold tissue dinner dress is completed by a black tulle and lace hat. The tailored hat answers for so many occasions that it is indispensable. Linen and serge in the new corn yellow shade is a fascinating arrangement. Attention to detail means a great deal to the smartly gowned woman of today. Exquisite bead pendants and neck ribbons are made by the French soldiers and worn with afternoon dresses. A new idea in neckwear is to have the edges of the collars and cuffs bound with a bright-colored checked material. Collars are of rose color, ivory and blue, rather than white, and are frequently more becoming than lingerie collars. Colored beads of all sorts—wooden, porcelain and composition—are revived for the rosary-fashioned chains now worn with one-piece frocks. Braid and Buttons Buttons are used with much discretion, and they are stuff-covered, not brilliant, as a rule. They may trim a skirt of a volute gulpe in small, close rows, but, on the whole, buttons play less important part in connection with dress this season than do braids. All sorts of fancy braids trim tailor-mades, blouses and tussore dresses, for braid, like all trimming, can be easily overdone, and it is safer to have one bit of good embroidery in the right place than yards of braid put on without discrimination. The Summer Sleeves Sleeves are just now of first importance. There are signs of unrest, of course, for the long, narrow sleeve of the winter is being forced, shorter and shorter and wider and wider, but the smartest sleeve of the summer will be just as long as those of the season past. The kimono sleeve is very much in evidence once more. For a time this always youthful design was slightly in the discard, but for dresses of chiffon, foulard and this cotton stuffs there is nothing to compare with it, "Harper's Bazar.
