Fostoria, O.—The mayor of this city ordered the obnoxious sign in the Annex restaurant, which read, "Colored trade not want-d," to be removed at once, and greatly surprised the prejudiced owners. The case was taken to court by Ed. Blaine, with the backing of other men interested in the race. Again the sign was ordered down and the owner fined $100 and costs.

Speaking of the recent Dyersburg, Tenn., lynchig, the diapaces to the daily papers said: "An iron staircase was stripped of his clothing and a baffle was built around his stoop until even the bones were consumed. Every houseplant and avening in the vicinity of the pyre was covered with spectators." Dr. William F. Willeighy, a practicing physician of Englewood, N. J., was elected cornerer or merger county by an overwhelming majority. He is also a county commissioner. He is recipient of awards, and is nearest recipient receiving 654. This first time in the history of that county that an Afr.-American has been elected to that office. We hope there is no truth in the report that the U. S. military authorities propose the establishment of a colored military hospital in France.

It was a surprise, so co-operative, that U.S. Collector Anderson in the speech's. The banquet, for such it proved to be, was epoch-making. Indeed, nothing just like it has ever come to our notice. It was held in the restaurant's large Louis XIV banquet hall and the subscription was five dollars per plate. The menu, fine! Sent to the Guard House FOR REFUSING TO DO STABLE WORK BEFORE BREAKFAST FOR THE "RICHMOND" BLUES" A Virginia Company (White) That Had Frequently Insulted and Mistreated Them—Capt. Davis Now a Major—Other News of Our Soldiers Brigadier General C. C. Ballou, who had charge of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, has been designated to command the Ninety-second division, to be made up of 30,000 African-American fighting troops. General Ballou is highly responsible for the military training camp who 160 of American officers attended the training camp at Fort Des Moines nearly 700 of whom up to this date have received commissions in the U.S. army, including quite a number who have been commissioned since the closing of the training camp on October 15, 1917. This division will have three Brigadier Generals and Col. Charles Young would have been one of them if he had not been retired. The commander, who must remain to be appointed to the staff of the division a judge advocate, and ordnance officer and a quartermaster, also one Afro-American chaplain for each of five regiments of the eight regiments that will compose the division. The three chaplains thus far appointed: Rev. A. E. Rankin, 38th Inf.; Rev. A. R. Evens, A. E. Love, 38th Inf.; and Rev. E. O. Woolfolk, 351st F. A. O.-Fro-American officers with the rank of captain and first and second lieutenants will be company commanders in all branches of the division. It will be noted that every branch of army service is to be represented in the Ninety-second division. SENT TO THE GUARD HOUSE Camp McClellan, Ala.-Thirty Afro-American soldiers, members of the First Separate Company of Maryland are prisoners in the guard house at the remount depot, charged with refusing to work before breakfast. The remount depot, is about three miles from the other part of the division camp, between the camp and Anniston. About 70 of the First Separate are sent from the horse section of the confinement to this point. Their duties were to look after the horses in the cerral and odd general stable work. More than ten thousand horses and mules are kept there. The "Richmond Blues" ("aristocratic" whites) of Virginia, the only cavalry outfit retaining its identity under recognition, is camped there and have been neatly clashed with the Mary and Afro-American troopers. The stance is the result. The 30 men seem unconcerned about the outcome of the trouble. Caring for the "Richmond Blues"* horses, and before breakfast, too, seems to have been "the struw."

Sing Hymns on Their Death March and Say "Good-By' to White Comrades as Traps are San Antonio, Tex.—Thirteen African American troopers, members of the Twenty-fourth infantry, U. S. A., found guilty of complicity in the riot at Houston, on August 23, were hanged on the military reservation at Fort Sam. Houston at 7:17 AM. Announcement of the carryout of the riot occasioned was made at headquarters of the southern department. Only army officers and Sheriff John Tobin, of Bexar county, were present when the terrible sentence was carried out by soldiers from the post. No newspaper men or civilian spectators were allowed, the time and place of execution having been kept a secret. Of the sixty-three men tried by the same court-martial, forty-one were sentenced to life imprisonment. One man was sentenced to dishonorable discharge from the army, for forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and to be confined at hard labor for two and a half years. Three were sentenced to be dishonorably discharged from the army, for pay and allowances and be confined at hard labor for two years. Five were acquitted. The Soldiers Hanged Private Pat McWhorter, Sergeant William C. Nessbitt, Corporal Larson I. Brown, Corporal James Wheatley, Corporal Jesse Moore, Corporal Charles W. Baltimore, Private William Brackenmidge, Private Thomas H. Hawkins, Private Carles Snowdale, Private Davis, Private James Divine, Private Frank Johnson, Private Rosley W. Young Following the hanging of the thirteen soldiers, the chief of staff of the southern department gave out a written statement, at the same time refusing to answer any questions. Condemned Men Game to End "Good-bye, boys of Company. C" were the last words uttered by the condemned men as the traps were sprung and they dropped to their death on the scaffold. Men (white) of Company C, Nineteenth infantry have been guarding the prisoners since they were brought to San Antonio to stand trial. The execution took place about two miles east of Camp O'Connor, near sea-fold which had been erected during the night. A column of 125 cavalry, men and 100 infantry soldiers assembled at the cavalry guardhouse, where the troopers were confined, at 5:30 p.m. clock Tuesday morning. Trucks conveyed the prisoners to the scene of the execution. With Millard F. Waltz. THE NINTH OHIO BATTALION Has Gone to Join Another Afro-Ameri hasn Unit at "an Atlantic Port". Montgomery, Ala.—With eighteen commissioned officers, and 700-odd men, the Ninth Battalion of in-entry, four companies from Cleveland, Columbus, Springfield and Dyton, has left Camp Sherman for "an Atlantic port," where it will be made p.ort of a regiment of our troops. Maj. John C. Fulton, of Cleveland, a veteran of '98, leads the b.tallin. "The training the N.th has received at Camp Sherd n has been of great value," he said, "and the men are leaving, here well trained." Ofters for the battalion to prepare for departure were issued, last week Tuesday afternoon, and with two hours every bit of personal equipment was ready to be loaded. Cars were shunted on the si e r ek ard in a very short time the men had everything loaded and were ready to get under way. For the 317th Engineer Regiment- The Avenues Open to Them. CAMP SHERMAN, Chillicthee, O — The 92nd division of the N. ternal Army is now being for ed from Afro-Americans of the drafted army. It will comprise four regiments of infantry, three of artillery, and one of engineers, besides other auxiliary organizations. The engineer regiment is designated as the 217th Engineers. There is a splendid field in this regiment for men who have attended college and taken the various manual training courses, and for those who have, in civil life, been in responsible work with the various classes mentioned. The regiment will comprise all men skilled in engineering trades of the division such as surveyors, draftsmen, photographers, lithographers, carpenters, blacksmiths, plumbers, electricians. IN UNION NT IS STRONGER SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS at Last! TO THE LAST! of "The Twenty-Fourth" infantry. Death March and Say "Good-By" amrades as Traps are Sprung. Afro- post commander in command, the col- umn arrived at 6:20 a. m. The guard A., assembled in hollow-square formation around the scaffold and the prisoners t 23, were given the order to march to exe- cution. Without a tremor they stepped out with soldierly tread and; singing a hymn, walked to their places. Prayers were said by one of our ministers and by two army chaplains, and then the men were ordered to stand on the traps. Resuming their song they stood erect and displayed fortitude while the ropes were adjusted. At 7:17 a major gave the order to spring the traps. The triggers had been arranged, on or for each drop, and six assists assigned to the word of command they pulled on the triggers and the thirteen dropped to their deaths. Thus closed, another heart-rending chapter of American history. Goaded by southern prejudice and hate (for the "Negro") in participating in that Houston riot, fifty-eight as brave soldiers as ever wore the uniform of an American soldier, on Tuesday went to their death, to life imprisonment, and dishonorable discharge from the army, and imprisonment for several years in the prison of Kas. This because they "struck back." As near as we can remember, the riot was caused by a prejudiced white southerner slapping a woman of the race in the presence of a sergeant of the Twenty-fourth regiment who knocked him down and beat him badly, giving him what he had earned by his unmanly act. The news of this beating reached Houston with the usual result—a white mob went for the sergeant, an American soldier! This news reaching his comrades of the military, they seized guns, ammunition, and went to guns, his death. They were charged with having killed seventeen members of the mob, four of the number being Houston policemen. The bodies of the thirteen soldiers hanged were interred, near the place of execution. What about the mob that killed the Afro-American sergeant? Will the government punish the members of it for the mob-murder of an American soldier, the twenty-fourth troopers were among those Col. Roosevelt and his "Rough Riders" in Cuba during the Spanish-American war and it has always been one of the best regiments in the American army. machinists, steam engineers, explosive men, blasters, quarrymen, miners, etc. The regiment will contain besides the officers about 1,653 men, about 20 of whom will be appointed non-commissioned officers. All men will be given additional training in the various trades, so as to render them as expert as possible within the limited time that will be available before the regiment goes abroad. Train them for regiments will soon be established for this purpose. This regiment is being organized under the command of Col. Earl-I. Brown, who is an officer of the corps of engineers of the regular army, and under other eminent engineers who have given their services to the g.vement for the war. All lieutenants and enlisted men of the regiment will be Afro-Americans. The regiment is being formed here where a large number of the drafted troops assembled have been transferred to the regiment for trial. ANOTHER U. S. JUDGE HITS SEGREGATION BALTIMORE, Md.—Judge John C. Rose, in the U. S. District court here, has decided that the Baltimore segregation ordinance comes under the ruling of the U. S. Supreme Court, whc recently declared that Louisville segregation ordinance unconstitutional. Judge Rose held that the Baltimore and Louisville ordinance were identical in one essential—that they prohibited colored persons living in blocks with whites and vice a. The case came before him in habeas corpus proceedings brought in behalf of an Afro-American charged with violating the ordinance. He was ordered released, of course. Quit slipping by the store of the colored man for the store of the white man.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1917 We simply dare not start to try to express our feelings and those of our people as a result of that terrible affair at San Antonio, Texas, Tuesday morning. The sad news from "San Ahtone," Tex., and Dyersburg Tenn., certainly "puts a crimp" in that Secretary of War Baker-Emmett J. Scott letter going the round of the race press, "The South is in the saddle" and with a vengeance, too. To our way of thinking, Prof. Geo, W. Cook, secretary of Howard University, Washington, D. C., for years one of that school's main props and one of our most successful business men of the nation's capital, is the logical Afro-American for the presidency of that institution. Prof. Kelly Miller is a fine race man and a scholar, but fails to measure up for the place in anything like the degree that Prof. Cook does. Think it over and see if we are not right. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson declares that "a man who takes the law into his own hands is not the right man to co-operate in any form of or development of law and institutions." Meanwhile, old "Judge Lynch," with his Irish, torch and six-shooter, goes busting through the South, outraging law, and the South, if you please, is in charge of the "development of law and institutions" of the little old United States. Have we all been translated to the land of Topsy-Turvey? It seems so! "Every white man in Mississippi realizes the seriousness of permitting Negroes to roam about in the South in the uniform of U. S. Army officers." Thus runs a sentence in a Vicksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to the New York World. What is there serious in this? Our men who have won officers' commissions in the National Army were selected because of superior intellectual and other qualifications, and were given the intensive training of the Reserve Officers Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. They were commissioned only upon merit, and there is no reason to believe that they will fail to do credit to the race, and the uniform they are entitled to wear. That a white Mississippiian of Democratic faith should find it a serious matter for any Afro-American to wear other than overalls, apron and jumper or to carry in his hand any implement more important than a hee, pail or dish, may well be believed. But that there is anything or real menace in such a thing is ridiculous, and even the poor whites of Mississippi know it. SOLDIERS WATCHFULLY WAIT Military observers in Europe say that "they have never seen soldiers to excel the Americans in adaptability. Our men are declared to make remarkable progress in all the essentials of training which the trenches afford, and they are looked upon as promising a signal contribution to the Allied "pinch" when once they are assembled in sufficient numbers to be an appreciable factor in the line. This is good news but not unexpected. The American with his initiative and his enterprise, should be second to none in any endeavor to which he is a party. He has never yet failed to give a good account of himself. He will not tail now. All the American soldier wants is the necessary equipment, adequate support at home, and a chance to fight. The last of these he is sure to get; the second is certain also. The first will undoubtedly be forthcoming in time—though from every cantonment where the eager youth of the land are enrolled and awaiting guns and the material of warfare the cry goes up continually. "How long, O Lord, how long?" LABOR SEES THE LIGHT At its annual convention in Buffalo the American Federation of Labor adopted the following resolution without a dissenting vote: "Resolved, That this convention go on record in favor of a policy of industrial preparedness and the enactment of laws by Congress that will adequately protect all wage-earners of our country against loss of employment through any invasion of the products of any other nation." Did the American Federation have the promise of President Thomas Woodrow Wilson that he would change his mind and put the United States on a protective basis, when they adopted the resolution? Or is it not rather an independent expression of labor's faith in the cardinal tenet of Republican faith—protection to American industries—and a clear indication that even though the president of its organization "lays his head alongside" that of the free-trade President of the United States, the sane thinkers of organized labor know that the best assurance of a return to protection is the return of the Republican party to power? CAMP WHEELER FOR EXAMPLE It is not pleasant news which comes from Camp Wheeler through the Surgeon General of the army. Gen. Gorgas advocates the construction of sixteen more cantonments, instancing conditions at Camp Wheeler in support of his suggestion. At Camp Wheeler there have been at least three thousand cases of measles and several hundred cases of pneumonia, induced, it is alleged, by the crowded condition of the camp and by the fact that the men were insufficiently clad to withstand the cold weather. Taken into the army in early September, it was not until December that the War Department could announce that overcoats and other woolen garments were forthcoming in sufficient quantity to supply the men who had been drafted. Meantime, the toll of sickness had been taken. There has been complaint at Washington that the country is not taking the war seriously. Facts like these will bring the war home in a personal sense to thousands of households, where there will be wondering of what will happen when their boys are across the water if such things can take place here in this land of plenty. BUREAUCRACY RUN MAD That Army and Navy Bazaar in New York where, of nearly $80,000 taken in, less than $800 were realized for the benevolent object in view, is extreme—but it can be matched in kind if not in amount in many of the war activities of the country. Especially, we think, can it be nearly duplicated in some of the numerous buesues and commissions which have sprung up so abundantly at Washington on government support. There a job awaits almost anyone who will ask for it. Indeed, it has not been unknown that advertising has been reported to procure people to accept government employment. Civil service rules have been entirely waived in many cases, in others appointments, have been made without examination, the employee to be examined after having qualified at government expense. And the capital is rife with stories of the "soft thing" which most of these employees enjoy. Money is being spent like water, people are being employed by unnecessary hundreds, buildings are being commanded or built to accommodate them, and there never was a time when it was more difficult to get business transacted. In New York, the promoters of the ill-fated bazaar have been indicted. At Washington, if anyone raises a voice in criticism of the government chieftains who are certainly to less guilty of inefficiency and waste, he is pilloried as disloyal and accused of failing to stand by the president. SOCIALIST VOTE Much of the Socialist vote in the election of 1917 was not Socialistic at all. In New York City the votes cast for Socialists increased 450 per cent. In Chicago, it increased 500 per cent. In Ohio cities it increased 400 in Cleveland and in Cincinnati, and 500 per cent in Toledo. The Socialists elected payers in Piqua and Byesville. Socialist officials were elected to some extent in Hamilton, Sandusky and other cities. A great vote for socialist candidates was cast in Dayton. At first this may seem alarming. There will be plenty of cause for alarm about Socialism after the war. There is none now because the Socialists took the unpatriotic side of the war. When the great casualty lists commence to come in from the trenchies in France there will be a sudden subsidence of seditious Socialism. The increase in the Socialist vote in the 1917 elections was largely a manifestation of Democratic discontent with its own party. In protest, thousands and tens of thousands of Democrats voted the Socialist tickets because of desertment at the way they were tricked in the campaign of 1916. They were through with the Democratic party and yet were not Republicans. in protest, they voted the Socialist ticket but without becoming in any Socialists. They are unattached and will remain so until they have opened up with those who put over the political camouflage of 1916. In this connection it is interesting to watch the anties of some of the smarter Democrats now trying to save their faces in the 1918 election. They have grown suddenly conciliatory. THE GAZETTE" CLEVELAND, OHIO, DECEMBER 16, 1917 They wish to keep the "seditious" Socialists out of Congress by a union of Democrats and Republicans in Congressional districts where they can not hope to win on their own merits. The Democrats are to be the kite, of course, and the Republicans the tail. As a matter of fact they are only striving to avoid being shown up in the campaign of 1918. They fear the moral effect of crushing defeats upon the presidential election of 1920. In the municipal elections neither the Socialists nor the Democrats made much of a showing. The Republicans did very well indeed. The elections of 1918 will duplicate those of 1917. One need not worry about Socialism till after the war. RICH MAN'S PRETTY DAUGHTER Elopes With an Afro-American Money to Bury Lost and Body Returned CINCINNATI, Q.—Honry and Marie Ward, age 26, the latter the pretty daughter of a wealthy horseman of Ashland, Ky., were fined $90 and one month's imprisonment last week on a robbery charge that may have been trumped up. Ward rode for her father and "infrasinate her" wrote a local (white) reporter of a daily paper. They eloped from Ashland to San Francisco, Cal. When Patrolmen Knipps and Vogel last week Monday night, entered a room at 324 E. Front St., where they had been told the body of a woman lay, there was a stampede of rats. The body, which was that of Bertha May Lee, a member of the race, had lain in the room since last late week because it which had been raised on the levee to the preliminary expenses of her funeral had been lost by the custodian in a dice game. The body had been sent to an undertaker, but as no money was forthcoming he sent it back. Finally a man, who said he was the widower, appeared and said he would take charge of the remains.

PREJUDGE PRESIDENCE "Any prejudice whatever will be insinuated without if those who do not share in it themselves trouble to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature."-John Stuart Mill. SILLY, CORSETED GIRL IS SLACKER SO, SAYS BERNABR MACFADDEN, WHO HOPES THAT WAR WILL PRODUCE BETTER TYPE. Strong Women Are Needed, No Excuse for Weak Ones. The Association of Collegiate Alumnus has submitted to the woman's committee of the defence council a plan to enroll for training all girls between 16 and 21. There is absolutely no excuse for the so-called weakness of women. A weak woman is effective. She has failed to develop the physical and emotional characteristics which are normally associated with femininity. A strong motherhood is the crying need of this age. Woman are gradually encroaching upon the occupations now followed by men, and if they can get rid of their hampering and spend a few years in occupations that call their muscles actively into play, the change that would be wrought in the motherhood of the race would be invaluable. The simpering, corrupted product of modern methods in the training of girls has left its mark upon the American race. It is to be hoped that the war will eliminate some of the silliness and evils associated with present systems of remitting education. If a girl is weak, frail, delicate, sickly, her parents and teachers are to blame. They have failed significantly in their duty. A system of education that sacrifices health and strength to the attainment of knowledge represents the height of human folly. Let us have an educational system for girls that is complete in every detail. While the boys are making men of themselves, it should be considered the duty of the girls to train with a view to making themselves fitmates for those who come back from the terrible conflict that is now upon us. Strong women are needed. There is no time or place for weaklings. This applies with equi force to either sex. And where weakness is in evidence and no effort is made to remedy the condition, lifting penalties should be imposed upon the guilty parties. This is no time for shirkers. Daflying will not be permitted. If you are not possessed of the right sort of women pastimes, go to work with might and main to acquire them. Each day you will feel your flesh be coming firmer, your eyes brighten, your body more comely in outline, and then you will become inspired with the true instincts of womanhood. You will know that you are a woman, real, genuine, spiritually forceful. And then like with all its glorious possibilities will open up before you. You will be filled with the sweet content that comes with duty well performed. — Bernard Macfadden in Physical Culture.

SALONIKI LUMBER MART Greek City is Turning to America for Supplies Before the outbreak of the war practically all lumber and timber for construction purposes in Salonki had to be imported. Most of it came from the Danube valley in Austria, Romania and Bulgaria, but a considerable quantity was also of Russian and Norwegian origin. Now that these sources of supply are cut off, dealers have been turning to America. There are great possibilities in this district in the lumber trade as to both present and future. Lonely New Zealand The New Zealanders are proving themselves worthy candidates for allletic honors. A. F. Wilding, the tennis champion of the world, hails from New Zealand, as also does Dick Aitre, who won the international championship at seoul on the Zambesi river. The New Zealand football teams have defeated the players from the British Isles repeatedly. The settlers in New Zealand are mainly of English descent, but they find themselves at a disadvantage compared with citizens of Canada and the United States, in that they are so far away from anywhere. German electricians who experimented decided they obtained better results by placing the carbons in lamps horizontally and one slightly below the other. Nearly 30 per cent of all flowers are white.

"I honor the man who in the consecientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the contenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold because of duty dome shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the contenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. --- Price to Introduce DR.FRED PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER Witten dark or brown skin bleaches and clears yellow complexions, removes all blemishes and causes the skin to grow whiter.

A fellow who tries to do business without advertising is like the fellow who threw out the quilt a silent kiss in the dark; he knows what he is doing—but nobody else does.—William Jennings Bryan. Madam Ada Bell Griffin, "New England's premier elocutionist," delighted a goodly audience, last Friday evening, at the half in E. 22d S. between Euelid and Prospect Aves. Her classic, humorous and dialect selections were really fine and met the expectations of the most critical in her audience. She was given splendid support by Roy Smith's excellent excerpts from the book, Roy Smith, and Louis Murray, and Mrs Grace Willis Thompson, who is deservedly popular and always pleases greatly. A warrant for the arrest of at least one of our local pastors was to have been issued yesterday or Thursday afternoon (after this issue of The Gazette went to press.) Watch our next issue for even further developments. The editor has not got started real good yet. He intends making him a high-rise finish. Several more arrests and jail time pending will come "high" just as soon as it is possible to get them in proper shape. Slandering and libeling of the editor of The Gazette shall be stopped this time and for all time. Edward Farris, twenty-four, was shot and probably fatally wounded during a quarrel in a rooming house at 2489 E. 26th St, early last week Friday morning. Farris, who lives at 2350 E. 37th st, was taken to Charity hospital, where he died. "Roy," who shot him, gave himself up and asserted that he shot in self defense, it is said. Two Negroes were sentenced to the penitentiary by Criminal Judge Morgan, the same day. Edward Taylor, 3866 Central Ave., and Charles Archer, West Selina, Ark., received the penitentiary sentences, the fermer on a robbery charge and the latter for obstructing police and foregoing there have been at least one other murder and a number of other crimes and misdemeans, committed in the Central Ave. district, all in the last ten days. Just please remember to call your friends' and acquaintances' attention to the warnings The Gazette gave prior to the recent election. It tried hard to make our people of ward 11 see what was in store for them unless there was a change in the city administration. Whenever that malicious lie—that the editor of The Gazette, received $500, or any other sum, from a democrat to defeat a Republican candidate for office at the recent election, or any other—is rotten in your presence, frankly tell the person "hawking," the lie that they are slandering the editor and find better not let the fact get to him or there will be some more arrests and punishment in the courts. Please repeat the foregoing to those whom you think need the information. Speaking of the Ninth Ohio Bat趴ation, the Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala., correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, said in that paper, Monday: "Among the men there was a feeling, warranted or unwarranted, that certain Ohioans of whom they had expected something different, imbied some of the prejudice of the south after their location here. For the majority of the officers, the colored men had nothing but praise, but they found things different after they crossed the Mason and Dixon line. It has been an unfortunate position, and the presence of the colored men at Camp Sheridan, at times, was decidedly embarrassing for almost everywhere. Whether there be any justice in the impression or not, there was a Ninth bat趴ation being slighted. It may be that the impression was due to a natural sensitivity prompted by the feeling in the city, but that it existed cannot be questioned." This shows how even white Ohio-ans, and soldiers, too, give in to southern prejudice, and quickly, too. When the motion was made at Antioch Baptist church, Sunday morning, to send its pastor, Rev. H. C. Bailey, to Washington, D. C., to attend a national "dry" meeting, it is said, Mr. Wm. Thurston objected to it, saying that he thought it awful for the church to go to that unnecessary ex- W. G. C. Thurston passes when the church was so deeply in debt and needed money so greatly. Rev. Bailey had to put the motion a second time before it carried. This will undoubtedly "put a crimp" in code and Antioch for some time to come. Some members of Lane Memorial C. M. E. church do not seem to realize that the public, our people particularly who contributed to Lane church building fund, raised in the last year or two, have a right to know where that money is or what disposition has been made of it. The result is there is a perceptible freeting on the part of some of the officers and members of that church that only excites the more curiosity and desire upon the part of contributors to the fund and others to know if it is still in hand, in part or all, and if not what has been done with a part or all of it. Neither churches nor other organizations have a right to solicit funds for specific or other purposes from the public and then do with it as they please without making any import to it of the disposition of the same. The same applies to those in charge of "The Birth of a Nation" fund, less than one hundred dollars, it is said, that was left after that vain effort in the courts, this year. Some of it, we hear, has been returned to a few contributors at least one of whom, Mr. Chas. Hackley, demanded the return of T. On Monday, of this week, iseward T. Shoy, chairman of the steward's board of Lane church, called at the Gazette office and told it that but two hundred dollars was raised but refused to say what, it L. E. Shy, a cousin of Isaiah, also a member of the time, who was in the office at the time, said that it was his remembrance that "five hundred and fifty dollars was raised at a moment before last, and an additional hundred and fifty dollars, at heart, since that time, making a total of seven hundred dollars or more, some of which had been used to pay part of a pastor's salary before he left for conference," last fall or the fall preceding. Mrs. W. W. Webster, another member of the church, writes The Gazette that she "knows the facts in the case," but failed to state them in her letter. On investigation, it is learned that the inquiry published in The Gazette, in recent weeks, was given its representative by a member of Lane Memorial church. So brothers and sisters, Christians, get together and inform the public how much the building fund amounted to and what disposition, if any, has been made of it. The contributors have a right to know! The Gazette was one of them, too. SLANDER AND CRIMINAL LIBEL Every few years since the advent of The Gazette, more than thirty-four years ago, it seems that its editor has to be "tried out in the fire" of vilification, abuse and persecution, all coming from members of the race it has labored for so unselfishly all these years. Therefore, our terrific experience in recent weeks, along this line, is not exceptional but only the latest of the kind—that is all. As many of our people (especially those in business and in the professions) well know, to apparently be successful is to make one a target for invidious criticism and worse. This latter experience, oft-times very bitter, is but one of the penalties axed by the mean, jealous and, too often, the vicious. It is possibly well, at times, that this is so because there is need, ever so often, of a clarification of the "atmosphere" which we believe God in His allure and far-saw wisdom directive is so useful as far as for The Gazette is common to how in humble submission to the accustomed harrowing experience in order that this same local "atmosphere" may be clarified and His cause thereby advanced. This time it is some of our pastors (and others), sweltering and fretting under the biting criticism that for more than two weeks has been and is being showered upon them as a result of their distressing disclosures on the witness stand before the Cuyahora County Liquor License Commissioners, on Nov. 16, 1917, who are "storming" The Gazette "castle," but as usual. Grown desperate and therefore in an unfortunate mental condition the result of their own questionable conduct in the "Starlight" saloon license case, at least two of them have, in the last four weeks, said things against the editor Of The Gazette—this in and out of the churches over which they preside—that are not only the vilest slander but positively criminally libelous. For this they will have to answer in the courts, legal action against at least one of them having been started last week. One result of the libel and damage suits we have started and will start, respectively, just as soon as possible, will be the much-needed clarification of local "atmosphere" our people of this community "will welcome with open and outstretched hands." As we have said, since it is apparently God's will that we be made the instrument than the use of which this improved condition is to be brought about, regardless of the harrowing experience that has again been forced upon us by Crabble's and another's vile attacks we bow in humble submission but shall also, under HIS direction and guidance, see to it that swift and sure punishment is meted out to those guilty of speaking or publishing in recent weeks the vilest slander and criminal libel, respectively, against us. As is so well said, elsewhere in this paper, there is absolutely no ground, not the slightest, for Charles H. Crabble's vicious and contemptible attack. Our long life in Cleveland, both public and private, is well known to hundreds, yes thousands of good people of both classes or races. Therefore, for a man, a pastor of a church, even the his residence in this city has been brief, to make so vicious and slanderous an attack is extraordinary, to say the least, and more than even an old, experienced journalist, accustomed to all kinds of criticism and even abuse, can stand. He would be able to clear the land to hand that something—the proper thing—be done. Therefore, his act early last week, and the pending prosecution; also that of another party to the publication of the vilification—vile slander and criminal libel. Adequate punishment and damages will be expected for the same. Of this, our people of this community and throughout the country, may rest assured. HARRY C. SMITH. ICAN GLASSWARE AN ECONOMIC TRIUMPH. Handicapped by European War, Yankee Chemists Find a Way to Improve Their Output. The war has stimulated invention in the United States in a surprising variety of ways, but in none more than in the matter of glassware for chemical, optical and culinary purposes and for the making of glass bulbs for lights. When the foreign made glass gave out the chemical laboratories were agreeably surprised to find that the bills for breakage with the American glass were less than half of what they were before. In the manufacturer of the foreign and American glass before the war potash was considered one of the necessary ingredients, but potash has been difficult to secure of late and the American glassmakers tried soda, a near relative of potash. The result has been a new glass that stands all kinds of heat in a most surprising way. In fact, the glass promises to develop unexpected advances in cooking. Tinware, crockery and enamet ware reflect heat to a large degree, but glass lets heat through just as it lets light through. It is found that a cake baked in glassware is baked on the bottom as well as on the top. A pie baked in a glass dish has two crusts, a bottom as well as a top. And the new glass stands the heat of the oven without cracking. DOUBLES COFFEE CROP VALUATION BY INVENTION. Discovery of By-Product Creates New and Rich Industry. After forty years of chemical research a way has been found to double the already enormous value of the coffee crop by manufacturing by products from the coffee berry husk. One of the by-products—manila properly combined with nitrogen, makes an explosion of about the same power as dynamite or fulminate of mercury, and markets at about $10 per kilogram. The average coffee crop of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, is 10,000,000 sacs of 132 pounds each, representing a value of more than $80,000,000. This value is in coffee without the by-products. Dr. Pedro Baptiste do Andrade, the Brazilian chemist, already has begun manufacturing the by-products, which he discovered. He proposed to produce 20,000,000 liters of alcohol, 360,000 kilograms of mannitol and 30,000 kilograms of caffeine. Caffeine is a drug commanding a price of about 10 cents a gram. Alcohol is sold in Brazil at about 12 cents a liter. Dr. Andrade's process is to treat by distillation processes the coffee berry husk, which heretofore has been discarded as useless. Because of the war-made demand for explosives and alcohol, the new industry is expected to jump quickly into prosperity. Combination Motorcycle. Two Philadelphia policemen have designed a motorcycle to carry five men, two fire extinguishers, a resuscitating device, a stretcher, a rubber pillow and a first aid ouffit at a speed of 60 miles an hour.

Of late, however, partly owing to the interruptions of the business due to the war, and to some extent be- cause of the rapidly growing sales of precious stones in America, the United States has become one of the largest—if not actually the Jargest— diamond markets in the world, and the trade of diamond cutting has become established on a large scale. In New York City there are now twenty or more shops, employing over 500 skilled workmen, Most of these men are Hollanders, who for several years have heen drifting over in in- creasing numbers becase of diminish- ed employment at home and also be- couse of the wages they can command in the United States, which are vastly higher than they ever received ot home. it is said that approximately $1,000, 00 worth of diamonds are cut in New York every month. Indeed, it Is az: serted that the diamond cutting indus- try is firmly established on a scale that promises to make New York the permanent diamond market of the mantle NORWEGIAN FISH BY PHONE Instrument in Water Telis Presence ‘of Schools, Fee A etrange way of discovering the whereabouts of fish is practiced in some parts of Norway, and the me- thod was discovered by a clever Norwegian. ‘A microphone, which is an in- strument that will transmit the slight: est sound, is lowered into the water from a fishing boat with a wire from the microphone is attached to a telephone fixed in the boat.
