Smith, pastor, to remodel WHY COLUMBUS HAS A Columbus, O.—At last, it is announced that the contract for the local "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. building to be erected at the corner of Fifth and Spring street in Columbus, I. M. contracted about Sept. 1. The contractor is a white man, of course, but promises that the entire work is to be done by Afro-American artisans. The building will cost, including equipment and site, when completed, $15,000. N. B. Allen is executive secretary and John W. Pontius, general secretary. Notwithstanding the fact that this city has, for more than a quarter of a century, had some of the very best contractors and mechanics of color, equals of the best of any race or class, in this country, all were turned down and the contract does not "set well" and is disgusting to say the least. Then when one remembers that it was the inception of this "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. movement, some years ago, that did most to promote the separate or "jim crow" (public) school of this city in which was placed all of our teachers; and a "shoe string" district made that would include the mass of our residents of Columbus, it will not be difficult for any to imagine the feeling here. these days, among the thoughtful, loyal and intelligent memoirs of our people, that some of our people easily led by whites and "jim crow" Negroes, are among our greatest and most harmful enemies. Lord, have mercy! Dr. Woodlin and John are watching the Lightfoot extinction case and the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. has promised to "get busy." TUSKEGEE PLEASES.

Cox, who, with his party, stopped at Hotel Sinton, enroute from Montgomery, Ala., to Dayton to remain until after New Year's, commented favorably on methods used at Tuskegee, Ala. Institute, and said he will recommend the development of Wilberforce University along similar lines. "The entire country can learn something from Tuskegee," said Gov. Cox, "and as we have a large colored population in Ohio, I feel something should be done to help make them more useful citizens." Continuing, he said: "Wilberforce gives some attention to industrial training of its students, but not on a scale that prevails at Tuskegee." and improve the Second Baptist church so as to have heat and comfort in winter.

J. and Emma Legore, in Circleville, last week Wednesday night, according to State Fire Marshal Fleming. In a written confession he declared he was paid $25, given a Black horse and allowed what he owed on another horse by a resident of Circleville. "The other man, he said, had an automobile in a bain in the rear of the hotel where the fire was started on which he had the day before taken out $800 insurance, according to information furnished by the fire nurseries," Rockwells, 20, said. State Deputy Fire "Wardens J.," A. Hepheberger and Muller, Fire Chief Baur of Circleville and Walter Crissinger; Circleville inspector, that he started the fire in the barn and saw it burn twenty minutes, then called the fire department when flames spread to the hotel. THE 9TH TO GO ABROAD! Ohio's Afro-American Battalion Part of Next Unit to Leave. Washington, D. C.—The ninth separate battalion of the Ohio National Guard, composed of our soldiers, will be the next Ohio unit to reach France. It forms part of a militia regiment in a complete Afro-American division which is now mobilized at an Atlantic port ready to embrak. It will be our first army division ever organized in this country. Half of the division's personnel will be militiamen and half drafted men from the national army camps. Company D. of the "Ninth," is a Cleveland organization, and the major of the battalion is from that city. The other three companies of the "9th" are from Columbus, Dayton and Springfield. It trained at Camp Sheridan, Ala., until some weeks ago when ordered to its present location. 'SMORE SOUTHERN CHIVALRY Savannah, Ga., Jan. 4—A member of the race fell in the rear of Mrs. W, W. Gordon's, wealthy (white). The servants called her and she saw the man was ill. She called the Savannah Hospital, just across the street. They sent over, but finding the man was "colored," refused to take him to the hospital. Mrs. Gordon pleaded for help, but the hospital people permitted the man to die there on the sidewalk. 10550 EUCLID AVENUE DOINGS OF THE RACE Julius Rosenwald, of Chicago, has promised the new Pine St. ("Jim crow") Y.

One need not hesitate for a moment to place this record against that of any other group of young men anywhere in the world. Gov. Brumhaugh (Repub.) is handling out commissions to officers for the new state guards, soon to be mustered into service, but is maintaining a dignified silence, as far as we know, either for or against the mustering in of any colored units. We do know that up to date no colored officer has been commissioned for this service. Philadelphia (Pa.) Weekly Tribute. Opposition to the Government's continuing "jim crow" cars in the South can be based on two grounds: on the behalf of the abdication of the "jim crow" car will further the purpose in taking over the railroads, in that it will conserve transportation, and on the grounds that the Federal Government cannot discriminate in such a manner between the citizens of the country. The $3650 a year editor of the N. A. A. C. P. magazine, The Crisis, announces that it began in 1910 with 1000 circulation. Today it has 50,000, 750 copies of which go to foreign lands. The magazine is handled by 800 agents who are increasing its circulation. Editor Dubois says the magazine is self supporting and that its staff of workers are paid not less than sixty dollars per month. The first colored soldier in the Canadian army to win the military cross is James Grant of St. Catherine's, known to a man of the 19th century. He was made up of St. Catherine's native soldiers entirely. He was the battery's mascot. He and John Miller, (white), of the same city, took a gun through a dangerous place, being heavily shelled by the Germans. The military cross was given to Grant. There can be no reorganization which leaves the "jim crow" system intact. The Negro insists that the humiliating "jim crow" cars must form a part of the reform. The railreads have now become a Government institution, and the U. S. Government, which must be lust for its citizens, can not afford, in these critical times, to be a party to unjust and insidious -- Baltimore (Md.) Commonwealth. Speaking of the former Eighth Illinois recurrent, Brigadier General'A. H. Blanding, commander of the unit of which they are part at Camp Logan. Houston, Texas, said recently: "They are as fine a set of soldiers as I ever hope to command." Gen. Blanding, who is regarded as one of the army's stristest disciplinarians, also DRUNKEN SOLDIERS RUN AMUCK ENTER "JIM CROW" CAR CURSING ARE REPROVED BY PASSENGER As the Gentleman Who Was Accompanied by His Sister, Happened to Be Colored, Both Are Brutally Assaulted Chattanooga, Teen, Jan. 2, 1918—William L. White, physician of the Erie railroad and Mrs. Edward J. Crabb, his sister, both of New York city, now lie in Highland Sanitarium, the victims of a brutal assault by white soldiers on a Southern railroad train Tuesday morning in the Chattanooga station of that company. Both the unfortunate individuals were en route from New York city to Birmingham, having stopped in Chattanooga, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, on a visit to their brother and sister-in-law, Squire and Mrs. J. W. White. The brutal assault, according to all information, was absolutely uncalled for and without provocation. The victims were badly bruised, the man being cut on the face with a gash from his mouth to his neck and an arm wound. Mrs. Crabb his sister, sustained a broken arm, an awful cut across the face, according to the best information obtainable, the train stood in the station just on the eye of leaving for Birmingham. But few seats remained in the colored compartment, and it appears that all room was taken in the white coaches. Several soldiers, some of whom had been drinking, deliberately entered the colored compartment, swearing and continuing a boisterous conversation. It is said the conduct entered and advised the soldiers that they could not remain in the colored car, whereupon they replied that there were no seats in the coaches for white people. The conductor replied that room would be made for them. They failed to leave. A direction by the train torpedo to the same effect received no attention from them. In the meantime they continued to curse and swear, whereupon they were approached in a gentlemanly manner by Mr. White, who requested that they cease to assault ladies in the car. Incensed at his polite and polite request from a Negro, one or two of the men assaulted him with the result above mentioned. It does not appear from the statement of Mr. White that more than three or four of the soldiers took part in the assault. Seeing her brother overwhelmed by numbers his sister came to the rescue only to be kicked to the floor, to be cut across the face and to sustain a broken arm. Railroad employees promptly came to the rescue, but singularly enough no one attempted to hold the offend- said: "The work along military lines, as well as their personal conduct, has been beyond reproach and I am, extremely proud of them." Ex-Gov. Charles D. Deneen, as principal speaker at the emancipation celebration at the South Park M. E. Church, Chicago III. New Year's evening, emphasized the importance and the need for an organization of the better class of our people in order that they may be able to demand proper consideration of their social and political rights. He advised that the old-time professional politicians, who seek to carry their ends by whatever means, be it foul or good, be eliminated. Whenever a colored soldier breaks the peace or violates the law the fact is he proclaimed fair and means by the Associated Press, under the influence of liquor went into the "colored apartment" of a train of the Southern Railway, in the station at Chattanooga, Tenn., abused and brutally assaulted and cat two colored passengers, a 50-year old man and his aged sister, who were quietly occupying seats in that car destined for Birmingham. No report of this outrage was printed in the Chattanooga daily papers nor sent out by the Associated Press—Louisville (Ky.) American Baptist. The foremost sculptor of the race, in America at the present time, is Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller. Her work is romantic and social. The first is represented by "The Wretched" and "Secret Sorrow;" the second "Immigrant in America" and the Silent Appeal in America may be seen "Watching the Dawn" group that shows seven figures, in various attitudes of prayer, watchfulness and resignation, watching for the coming of daylight, or peace. In technique this is like "The Wretched;" in spirit it is like the later work. Her early work is not delicate or pretty. It is growsweat and terrible; but it is also, intense and yital, and from it speaks the very tragedy of the race.—Denn, Brawley in Southern Workman. What about the Alabama troops who have had troubles at Camp Dix with Negroes? The only morning paper hereabouts, of those that come to our notice, that speaks of them is the N. Y. World. The World of October 16th had a back-nage story to SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS IERS RUN AMUCK OW" CAR CURSING LVED BY PASSENGER Was Accompanied by His Sis- to Be Colored, Both ally Assaulted Boga Hospital Seriously Injured soldiers until the military police could reach the scene. A major and one or two other officers went through the cars afterwards trying to ascertain who was responsible for the affair, but the brutal soldiers could not be identified. The station master gives out the following statement to a representative of the Chattanooga Defender: "We all our cars ready for the soldiers and we still in the act of teaching them to the train. These soldiers, some of whom had been drinking, entered the colored coach and appeared to be cursing and swearing when White told them to stop swearing before the ladies. This led to the fight. In the first place the soldiers had no business in the colored car. They were told by the conductor not to enter that car, but did so anyway. The major attempted to find out who they were by going through the cars with it but it was not possible to identify all there was to it. The man and woman both seemed badly hurt, and while I do not mind giving you the facts in the case, we would not, want any sensational story printed about it." When seen at the Highland Sanatarium, both Mr. White and Mrs. Crabb talked freely, were indignant over the treatment they received, and were badly hurt. Mr. White's statement with reference to the affair was substantially as given above. Mr. White is a man about fifty years old, self very well acquainted with corn-fed soldiers. That he and his sister did not sustain more serious injury is a marvel. It is a singular fact that not *or* daily paper in Chattanooga mentioned the incident and there was nothing on record at the police department. Even Squire White, when approached by a representative of this publication, asked that no mention of the affair be made. Mr. White and Mrs. Crabb rebounded with the Hillwood Sheriff until Thursday, when they were removed to the residence of their brother. Both the parties are well known in Chattanooga and are highly connected in the East. Mrs. Crabb's husband is foreman electrician of the Erie Railroad, while she has a son who is chief electrician in the 367th Infantry now at Long Island, N. Y.-Chattanooga Defender. The effect that Alabama soldiers at Long Island City had kicked and beaten a Negro porter who had boarded a train they were on, so that he was carried off to a hospital disabled, and in danger of losing an eye. Members of a Negro regiment at Camp Mills—the 15th New York Infantry—were attacked and insulted, according to the World of October 27th, by the same Alabama troops, and after a good injury they were moved to New Jersey. If these events are true, the propriety of respecting the customs of the part of the country they are in ought surely to be impressed on the Alabama soldiers. We in the North are not models for fair treatment of Negroes, but our standards in that situation, such as they are, are worth maintaining—"The N. Y. Life." HANGING SOLDIERS THE CAUSE. Altoona, Pa.—Lem Bacon, a member of the race, of Belwood, charged with cursing the President and uttering "threatening and seditious words" against the United States, has waived a preliminary hearing before the U.S. Commissioner Stoner here and has been held for the Pittsburgh District Court. He is a railroad trackhand. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and In that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we under- stand it."—Abraham Lincoln.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 19, 1918 This man Lewis, who invented the Lewis machine gun, must be a Republican. It seems that he had almost to force the services of his gun on the government for nothing. A cynical commentator (the Chicago Tribune) on the recent revelations of delays in war preparation, suggests that, as the administration was re-elected because "he kept us out of war," it is now making good. In the hope of camouflaging Gov. Cox into running for a third term, we hasten to call his attention to the fact that Gov. McCall, of Massachusetts, has just been inaugurated for a third term. "Come on in, governor, the swimmin's fine!" Senator McKellar, of Tennessee, Democrat, member of the U. S. Senate Military Committee, has introduced a bill providing that no member of the Council of National Defense shall in any way be interested in government contracts. And the dean Lord knows it is about time. "Of course, Mr. McAdoo is a very capable man," says the Houston Post, "but it takes a very capable man to hold the offices of Secretary of the Treasury, Director-General of the Railroads of America, and official son-in-law of the Administration." With the heir, apparency to the "throne" palpably visible all over the political horizon. --- Edmund Burke, speaking of statesmen, said; "Yet, after all, a man will make more by the figures of arithmetic than by the figures of rhetoric." That may have been the case in England in the eighteenth century. It certainly is not the case in America in the twentieth, where a figure of speech decides a national election. Gov. James M. Cox's talk about making Wilberforce University measure up with Tuskegee, Ala. N. & I school along industrial lines would impress our people of Ohio far differently were it not for his foisting upon us that infamous photoplay "The Birth of a Nation," and his recognition of those Dr. L. N. Bundy extradition papers from the governor of Illinois. Both "cut" and deeply too, governor. There were thirty-eight "Negroes" lynched in 1917. Two were lynched in the North, one in Montana and one in Wyoming. The remaining thirty-six met death in the South. This does not include over one hundred "Negro" men, women and children massacred at East St. Louis, Ill., last fall. As the southern states are either unable or unwilling to protect our people, can there not be some way for the National government to secure to us at least the right of life, even if it does not secure us the rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Thirteen members of the 24th U. S. Infantry were executed (hanged—not shot), a few weeks ago, and forty-three were sentenced to life imprisonment, charged with the killing of seventeen members of a mob at San Antonio, Texas, August 23, 1917. Five more are under sentence of death, on the same charge, and their cases are before the President for final action. If discipline has already been sustained, and sufficient "justice" done, why not give them a milder punishment than death? It would be wisdom to temper "justice" with mercy in view of the patriotic stand in the war taken by our people as a whole. Speaking of "the troubles of one John Lee, 1307 W. 11th St.," who had been arrested for firing a shotgun, the Cleveland Daily News said one day last week: "The fact got his name into the papers, Monday, but further chagrin came to Lee when he found an error in the published accounts had created But sad to relate, the new chief of the mistaken impression that he was a negro. It is a fact that he is not." How do you like the "chagrin" reference, and the small "n" in the word "Negro?" These things could be stopped if some of our many local "race" organizations would "get busy" and do something beside "hold meetings, collect money and secure new members." The News is a Republican paper, too! Race discrimination in dance hall is denied. Asa Anderson, dancing master of 6124 Euclid Ave., pleaded not guilty in Police Court, Tuesday, to having refused admission to his hall to several men because of their race. Judge McGannon continued the case to Jan. 22. Anderson was arrested on complaint of Attorney Bernard J. Smolin, Engineers Building—Cleveland Daily Press. Why didn't the Press say what race was claiming to be "discriminated against in this case"? Its readers are left to think that the "several men refused admission" were Afro-Americans when we understand the fact is they are Jews. This sort of thing, as far as the Press is concerned, is on a par with the News "chagrin" and small "n" article, referred to elsewhere in these columns. Have we no local organization that has the backbone to take cognizance of these things and properly handle them for our people of this community? SOUTH SUPREME Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, received a knockout blow in his contest for the chairmanship of the Senate interstate commerce commission, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Newlands. Although he had served longer on the committee than Senator Smith of South Carolina, the Democratic steering committee in the Senate unanimously elected Senator Smith to the place. The South, which is securing every scintilla of power possible in both Senate and House, will now have control of the management of all railroad legislation in both House and Senate, although the railroad mileage in the South, business transacted, capital invested and labor employed therein, is small indeed as compared with the North. This leaves the North, east of the Missouri river, without an important chairmanship in the Senate. The northern poor relations of the real Democratic family of the south have to put up with some pretty severe snubs, but, of course, one has to crawl under the table to get crumbs. "THE TALE OF THE GAMBLER" Some weeks ago "a sport blew in town" from "somewhere in the U. S."—possibly, and in all probability, from the "Windy City" (Chicago) and appeared in the gambling hell in the Clayton block with a satchel containing three thousand dollars in bills of small denominations. This he exhibited! The patrons of the joint, present, hovered around him with bulging eyes like small children about a leaking molasses barrel. A wonderfully longing desire possessed them entirely. They were eager, "hungry" and tremendously anxious to "get busy" in an effort to get some of that "dough" and, of course, the newcomer wanted just that very condition to obtain! He was shrewd, however. Just teasing them with the sight of so much money, he withdrew long enough to permit those who had enjoyed it to pass the word along the line (Central avenue) that "a great, big, ripe melon had arrived and was just spin' to be eaten." Nothing to equal this had come to pass during the halcyon days of gambling in this city—last year and half of the year preceding. So the word went out for the "gentlemen of the green cloth" to gather and gather quickly, if they would participate in the "melon cutting" and "enjoy the feast." They did gather and quickly, too, and waited with that expectancy one can easily imagine. Finally he arrived—the "gentleman from Chi." (presumably). This time he exhibited twenty-one bank new and crisp one hundred dollar bills and told the boys there was "plenty more in reach." The "battle" was on! For the sake of brevity, we will call the newcomer, "Jimmy"—we mean "the sport with the roll." Well, at first the boys "wiped the floor" with him, winning from a few hundred to two thousand dollars. At this stage of the proceedings, the boys say "Jimmy" unorked a liberal amount of "plunging gin," and being flushed with "success" the liquid only added to their zeal, for they "sailed in as never before," hustling for more of "Jimmy's mazumma." Then it began to happen, undoubtedly just as he had planned. "Jimmy" began his "clean-up" in real earnest, with the result that even before the effect of the "plunging gin" had passed, he had them all "broke, getting back not only his own but also winning all of their money, diamonds and many other things of value, as well as numerous I. O. U.'s. He then looked them over complacently, "salted" over $5,000 in addition to the diamonds, etc., and retired to his temporary abode (in this city) for several days' rest and recuperation. When he reappeared he was frequently seen in taxies—out calling on the boys in an effort to realize on the diamonds, I. O. U.'s, etc. But sad to relate, the new chief of police had closed local gambling hells, even those up Central Ave., while "Jimmy" was recuperating, and of course "the boys were still broke, good and proper." This was a trifle over two weeks ago. Ever since, business up Central Ave., especially the restaurant branch of it, has been "mighty dull," because the boys have not, for more than two weeks, been able to eat so liberally or so regularly as in times of prosperity. "Jimmy" and Chief Smith have certainly "put an awful crimp" in the boys, these days. There is a lesson in the foregoing for young and old.

Every one has seen the picture of the dogs' poker game in which the wise one of the party is an old "pooch" with spectacles. That long seemed a flight of fancy, but on the West Side of Chicago there is a dog who has worn "specs" for twelve years. He is called Bosco, and is a chum of everybody along Madison street from Ashland to Western avenue. Bosco's home is at 2298 Madison street, and he belongs to Philip Franklin. Bosco is an Irish pointer of a dark brown. You would think that wearing glasses would exempt him fromights, but it seems that in the pooch code of ethics no account is taken of it. Hence his body presents a curious and numerous collection of scars, suggestive of the detail map of a war front. Bosco is nothing loath to fight and does not stop to remove his glasses. He is said by his owner to be able to whip his weight in wildcats. He has won many a battle and will tackle a buldog but run from a cat. Bosco would be a great candidate for pooch sheriff, being a great mixer. He carries children that are small enough to ride him and makes the rounds of the Lewis Institute and the Crane Tech and McKinley High Schools to have a frolic with the students. As Bosco wears a blanket as well as specs, his make-up for his attendance at a Progressive meeting. He made a hot dog out of him by giving him a cowboy appearance and told him to run over to the hall and follow his own notions. Bosco made his way to the platform and dislodged the chairman from the best seat, squarely in the center. Then he gazed proudly thru his extra thick glasses with a ribbon attachment and pulled a Roosevelt smile on the assemblage. Jolly dog, Bosco. A Shoe Faster Than a Handcuff. A shoe which will make impossible the escape of convicts while being transported from one point to another has been invented by a Californian. The idea came to him after suffering on several occasions through the protrusion of hob-nails through the heel of a boot in need of repair. The device, says Popular Mechanics, consists of a heavy leather shoe, with a perforated sole to which is attached a second sole of steel plate, jointed so that the whole will bend with the usual motion of the toes and foot. Riveted upright to this steel sole are sharp spikes, placed in such a position that they will enter the perforations of the leather sole, but kept from ordinarily doing so by crossbars with a series of steel springs on either side. The whole contrivance is fastened to the prisoner's foot by means of metal straps, held secure by a padlock. With the crossbars in position, the prisoner can walk in the shoes as in ordinary ones, but once he is placed on a train or other conveyance, the officer releases the crossbars and locks them in such position that they cannot be replaced between the spikes and perforations without a key. The only thing that now keeps the spikes from entering the perforations and gouging into the criminal's foot is the springs. These are of sufficient strength to protect him from harm as long as he is seated, but if he stands up and attempts to walk, the weight of his body compresses them enough to make it impossible for him to stand the anguish of more than a step or two. Many deputies are required in a sheriff's office solely to convey prisoners from the jail to the state-prison and grave danger of escape is constantly present when an attempt is made by one deputy to transport more than one prisoner at a time. If shoed in such shoes, several prisoners could be left in charge of but one deputy, without fear of even a serious attempt to escape. Cause of Wind. All winds may be regarded as caused directly by differences of atmospheric pressure. The wind blows from region of higher toward a region of lower pressure. Differences of atmospheric pressure, and consequently of winds, originate in changes occurring either in the temperature or the humidity of the air over the restricted region. Thus if two adjoining regions come to be of unequal temperature, the air of the warmer region, being lighter, will ascend, and the heavier air of the colder region will flow in and take its place. Again if the air of one region comes to contain more vapor than the air of the surrounding regions, the air of the more humid region, being lighter, will ascend, while the heavier air of the dryer region will flow in below and take its place. Since part of the vapor will be condensed into cold or rain as it ascends heat is thereby disengaged and the equilibrium of the atmosphere still further disturbed. In this way originates gales, storms and tempests.—Boston Globe. Grave Danger. Indeed. A judge was questioning an Irishman. "He caught you by the throat and choked you, did he?" asked the judge.

THE ANTIQUATED SEAL A Very Small Thing to Which Great Importance Is Given Sometimes. Almost absurd thing connected with legal business is the little piece of red, green or blue paper or daub of sealing wax which we often place at the end of a signature to a deed, will or other important document. It is very small thing in size, but one to which a great deal of importance is frequently given. It is a relic of antiquity, and no plausible excuse can be invented for continuing its use. Some of the more progressive States have practically abolished its use by legislation, which deprives it of any technical legal significance. In others, however, it is still used with all seriousness and solemnity, and an almost magical value is given to it by dignified Judges that is little less than ridiculous. A man died years ago leaving part of his estate to another to enjoy while he lived, with the privilege of devising it at his death to others whom he might select by a writing under his "hand and seal." A writing was executed so devising the property, but it was contested by others claiming the property upon the technical ground that the paper contained no seal after the signature, and the device was therefore void. A wise Philadelphia Judge closely scrutinized the signature and after carefully listening to the arguments of lawyers decided that at the end of the signature there was an extra scroll or flourish made with the pen with which the signature was made and this was sufficient in law to constitute a seal. PICTURE OF JESUS FOUND ON COLD ANTIOCH CHALICE High Authority Estimates Date of the Cup in Latter Half of First Portraits of Christ and the Apothetes which, it is believed, may be authentic are on an old chalice dug up from the ruins of Antioch, in Syria, and now in the possession of a New York firm of art dealers. The chalice, according to the dealers, came directly to them from the hands of the excavators some time ago. It can be dated with certainty to the second half of the first century, A. D., says Dr. Gustavus A. Eisen, the archaeologist, who is now in this country and who has made preliminary report upon it in the American Journal of Archaeology. It was found by Arabs digging a well on the heights of Antioch. At the depth of many meters they came upon underground chambers, which contained the treasure. It is probable, say experts, that the chalice is a relic of the cathedral enacted in Antioch by Constaine the Great after his removal of the capital of his empire to Constantinople. This Antioch church was intended to be the center of Christian worship in the East and remained standing until the year 526, when, during an assemblage of half a million Christians, the city was leveled by an earthquake so disastrous that one building could not be distinguished from another among the ruins. Primitive Inkkeeping A veteran travelling man has recently recounted in the Kansas City Journal some of his experiences of forty years ago, when the path of the men in his business was rugged and not bordered with flowers. "We travelled in those days by wagon," he says, "and we would be out for weeks in all kinds of weather and encounter all kinds of hardships. "The travelling man of to-day doesn't know what hardships are. Why, I remember one time years ago at Dexter. We had been out for two weeks, and had not had a decent bed in that time. We came to a frime hotel, with one room downstairs. After earling a meal of corn bread, bacon and coffee, I was assigned to room Number 14. "The landlord told me how to find it, and I followed his directions by going outside, climbing up a ladder, and hunting in the dark till I found Numbe: 14 on the foot of a bed. "I crawled in. There was one blanket and a cover, but I slept well that night, imagine my surprise, though, on awakening in the morning, to discover there wasn't any roof on the house. "Again, in a Missouri town some thirty-five years ago, I was staying at the town tavern. I had passed a good night, in fairly comfortable bed, but I was awakened at six o'clock in the morning by the landlord. "Can you lend me one dollar and a half?" said he. "What for? I asked, in amazement. "Well," said he, "butcher's here with meat for breakfast, but he won't leave it without the cash down. If some one doesn't put up the money, there'll be no breakfast." "I put up the money," concluded the veteran.

HIS SWEETHEART U-boat Captain Could Not Forget and In the End He Leaped Into the Waves With a Curse Upon His Lips for the Kaiser. Hans von Tuebinger was an art student at Stockholm before the war. He was engaged to marry Minna Larsen, daughter of a Norwegian schooner captain. Then came the war and Hans returned to Germany and was assigned to command a submarine. Minna pined away and her father, thinking to brace her up, took her with him when he sailed away on the sea. During one of those voyages the schooner was attacked by a submarine and a splinter of wood, shattered by a shell, killed the girl. The commander of the submarine came aboard took one look at the slain girl, and became almost beside himself with grief. It was Von Tuebinger. Some time afterward Von Tuebinger's u-Boat sank another vessel. The mate aboard was Minna's brother. The young man was crazed with excitement and anger when he discovered the identity of the destroyer of his vessel and leaped at him, catching him by the throat. One of Hans' men, however, hit the young assailant over the head with the butt of a revolver, knocking him into the sea. Although Hans jumped after and dived for him repeatedly, the young man never came to the surface again. Once again after that a man who had known the U-boat captain at Stockholm during the days of courtship before the war was torpedoed by him. This man said that Hans invited him to his cabin aboard the U-boat and there he saw on the wall a picture of Minna draped in crepe and with some sentimental poetry underneath. That was the last heard of Hans Von Tuebinger ur il the steamer Falkland, a Norwegian steamship, was torpedoed and sunk in the North Sea with the loss of ten of her crew. How Von Tuebinger, crazed by grief over the deaths he had caused, killed himself and died with a curse on his lips for the Kaiser is told by John Pirano, a former member of the Falkland's crew, who recently arrived at an American port. He told his story as follows: "The Falkland was carrying a cargo from Philadelphia, and everything was going along smoothly until we were in the North Sea, about 150 miles off the northeast coast of England, when a shot tore away our funnel. Another smashed into the engine room, killing half a dozen men. "The shells were coming so fast that we didn't wait any longer, but piled into the life boats and got away as quickly as we could. We were not a bit too soon, for the vessel sank a few minutes after we had cut loose from her. All told, ten men perished with her. With all my anxiety to get away I still had curiosity enough left to pick up and put into my pocket a couple of pieces of one of the shells which had smashed the funnel. Afterward I discovered that the shell was cement. But that discovery was made weeks afterward in London by a friend of mine who is a chemist. Until then I thought it was some sort of brittle metal. "The captain of the U-boat made us come alongside after our vessel was gone. He struck me right away as being sort of loony. I never saw a man acting more quirky. He looked as if he felt sorry for us and then became excited and angry and ordered us to get out of his sight. We were in mortal dread, of the man and didn't know just what to do. We sure were between the devil and the deep sea. For we made up our minds that no matter whether we stayed or rowed away he would find some cause of quarrel and have us shot. "He asked our captain whether he had seen 'Minna.' We thought he meant some vessel named Minna; but the way he pronounced the name and the awfully sad expression that came into his eyes soon convinced me that he must have meant a woman of that name with whom he was crazy in love. I couldn't help laughing, although it was no laughing matter for him and none of us, either, when you consider the pickle we were in. "I guess our captain must have thought that so long as we were bound to offend the U-boat commander no matter what we did the best thing would be to get as far from him as possible, and so we rowed away. We had gone about half a mile when we saw him waving his arms about his head and running up and down on the deck. ""We better go back,' said the second mate to the captain. 'I think he's kind of' put out because we rowed away without asking him." "We went back a good deal faster than we had gone away; and when we were near enough to hear his voice I heard him say. I'm tired of this butchery business. I've killed my Minna; I've killed her brother; I've killed too many already. Not another life will I take—except my own. Damn Von Tirpitz! Damn the Kaiser! They've driven me out of my mind. Damn the whole outfit." "Although I am of Italian descent and was born in New York, I spent many years in Bremen and picked up a good working knowledge of German. So, I understood everything the poor luminary said. His men listened to him as if they had turned into stone. What he said must have been worse then blasphemy to them; but even so, they didn't do anything to stop him and let him rave on. "Well, sir, the first thing we knew that poor devil jumped into the water, and that was the end of him. Before he went he let out one despairing cry of 'Mimma' and I can tell you I haven't More Useful If Less Poetic. A poetic contributor recently submitted to a northern weekly an effusion, entitled "The Lay of the Lark." It was returned with this editorial note: "Rejected with thanks. Send a few specimens of the lay of the hen. We will gladly accept them." been able to get it out of my ears from that day to this." Pirano said that after a long and vain search, in which the crew of the Falkland aided, the commander of the U-boat was given up as dead. The U-boat then submerged and the Falkland's crew was left to its fate. After two days adrift the crew was picked up by a British patrol boat and landed in England. Killing against the law with deliberation is murder, and Germany has been guilty of murder of 200 of our fellow citizens, innocent of any offense, national or international. The Constitution of the United States is interpreted by the Supreme Court to say the duty of the citizens of the United States is to render allegiance, to do service, to pay taxes, and support the government, and the corresponding duty of the United States as a Government is to protect the right of citizens of the United States at home and abroad. In view, therefore, of the murder of these 200 citizens and of the announcement of a policy to continue these murders, what alternative was there left other than a declaration of war to the United States? Suppose this had been Guatemala that had sunk one of our vessels and sent ten of our sailors to the bottom. How many hours do you think it would be before the President and the Secretary of the Navy would send a battleship down to Guatemala and be thundering at the ports of that republic and demanding restitution, demanding a promise of conduct hereafter, demanding damages for what had been done, and on failure to answer promptly, beginning a bombardment? Even pacifists would have justified that. Now, what is the difference between that situation and this? A very great difference, if you understand what it means to consent to the murder of 200 of our citizens because there is a powerful nation you have to meet and overcome in order to vindicate the rights of our citizens. It means submission to the diminution of another power. It means giving up the independence for which we fought in 1776. In entering the war we are entirely void of offense. We have been forced in. The situation has been such that no selfrespecting nation, no nation which appreciates what a government is formed for, could avoid doing what we are doing when the rights of our citizens, the preservation of which is the chief object of government, have been defiantly violated by a power that resists for its right upon might. That is why we are in. The issue at present is drawn between the democracies of the world and the military dynasties, and people like to characterize that as the issue. It is and it isn't. What I mean is this: The United States is not a knight-errant country going about to independent people and saying, "We do not like your form of government; we have tried our own and think it is better for you and you have got to take it." But when their form of government involves a policy which does not confine its opinions to the people who make the government or support it, but becomes a visible policy against the welfare and happiness of the rest of the world family, we have a right and a duty, standing with other nations, to see to it that such a policy is stopped forever. This militarism is a cancer which must be cut out by a surgical operation. It shows its unligant character in the utter disregard for the rules of war. It showed itself in the violation of Belgium, in the policy of frightfulness in order to subjugate Belgium, in the violation of the Hague treaties. It is a cancer which absorb the wholesome life of the whole world unless it is cut out and necessitates suffering and pain in ridding the world of it. From the Rear. Free speech in time of war has this difference from free speech in time of difference from free speech in time of time of war carry death with them, says the New York Times. They cease to be words and become bullets. Attacks on the government and on the people that are carrying on the war serve to thwart the aim of the war, which is to defeat the enemy and to avoid defeat for ourselves. If they were successful they would cost the lives of thousands of American soldiers who would otherwise come home safe and sound. If they are partly successful they will cost the lives of fewer soldiers than if they were completely successful, but they will still sacrifice many unnecessarily. To be concrete, if these attacks accomplish their purpose of convincing Russia that we are not united, and hence of withdrawing her from the war, they will destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans by prolonging the war. If they are only partly successful and merely serve to confirm and prolong Russia's irresolution without actually detaching her from our side, they will destroy the lives of a less number, but still of a great many who would otherwise come home to their families.

They say the man was shooting at two women and fired four shots, but they went wild and hit Foster. Wednesday, the police were looking for four holdup men who braved Tuesday's night's snowdrifts to get a total of $1,600. A man and woman were also being held as nickpockets. Two men who offered to aid Joseph Horrigan to his home, 9322 Miles Ave. through the drifts, relieved him of $100.

It is especially sought for by busy people, because it gives at one glance not only the days of the current month, but those of the month preceding and the month following, all on the one leaf. At the same time the calendar is decorative in design and suitable for a place in the best room in the house. It is given to all readers of The Youth's Companion who have paid their subscriptions for 1918. What can be expected of our local ministers—when one of the more or less prominent ones will (as a speaker at the celebration at Luna park) help draw hundreds of our people to that color-line place of amusement in order that the park management can make thousands of dollars of their hard-earned money? When others of these same ministers will take money from a saloon-keeper who e. license they had petitioned the Cayuahoga County Liquor License Commission to refuse? When still another of these ministers will, on a witness stand (while under oath), say the saloon-keep "is a good business man," after sigging that petition and protest that ministers were out to protect those ministers who were out to the streets, the day of election, last November, "log-rolling" like the "our-stone politicians" for this same saloon-keeper's candidate for the City Council. And those who still boost of having accepted "gifts" from "Starlight" and say they will continue to do so whenever offered? Do our churches, and their good people of this city, need their kind? Ask yourself and your friends these questions. If you owe the Gazette, do not wait for the collector to call on you but come to the office and pay. It is so much pleasanter and better.

If anybody does an injustice to our people, whether it be the President of the United States or somebody else, we must not be afraid to speak; we must fight. We have been the victims of a false philosophy that we should think less about our rights and more about our duties. For several years I have been a student of moral law, and I can see no difference between right and duty. We need to look duty squarily in the face and throw consequences to the winds. It matters not what the state of the country is, whether at war or otherwise; when wrongs are committed against our men, our women and our children, we must continue earnestly to keep up our fight against it—Rev.

"Somewhere in France" is a long way from home for the American soldier and we who must stay always are eager for any intimate picture of how the boys are living over there. Here is a glimpse of how "Summie" finds the food situation behind the battle line: "The best picture of the American soldier in Europe, as I have seen him is when he is lined up for mess, with his knife, fork and spoon jabbed 'pirate fashion down his leggings with a wristful light about his eyes and a most foilorn mouth. He has the air of a crusader, a crusader who is about to get food and knows that he is going to get less than he wants." "The American rations, I found on a visit made to the American camp, have been reduced from banqueting proportions to the simple battle fare of the French and English. Our boys grumbled at first, they told me, because the rumor spread around camp that they were in a diet squad. The bare idea of medicos experimenting with them made them furious. Now they are resigned, since it is the act of a crusader for civilization to deny his appetite for the sake of others. "The war menu is necessary because of the difficulties of transport, because the Americans should not fare better than their allies and because it has been found that the allotted amount of food is sufficient. The evening rations consisted of a thick mutton chop, one boiled potato, a spoonful of turnips, a 12 inch slice of war bread and a generous cup of coffee. "I know I'm getting enough to eat because I can hastle to beat the band; one artilleryman told me and then sighed, but when I think how I used to punish food—and now, these little spoonfuls I get, and only one piece of bread. Cash!" "There is no batting order at meals. When mess call sounds everybody scamper for packs, from which the regulation tins and cutlery are extracted. In explaining his shoulder capeboard to me one artilleryman said that the top of his stewpan when inverted was for dessert, but that he didn't need to invert it any more. "After meals each soldier must attend carefully to his garbage, bones going into one tank, ground cups or tea leaves into another and the scrapings into a third. The resourceful English and French refine the grease and get a powder ingredient. The tea and coffee refuse is made into chemicals. "There was a great protest against foreign cooking when these men first went into foreign camp. The mess was contracted for completely cooked and ready to serve, but the Americans, fresh from the Mexican border, hungered for the cuisine of their camp cooks. Probably they wanted something of home in this region of appalling strangeness. At any rate, the commanding officer, by tactful arrangement, had the meat and vegetables delivered uncooked and the men cheered at the sight of the smoke and the smell of aromas from their company kitchens. They have enjoyed home cooking since. "I found nothing but a satisfied spirit among the men, particularly because they are the first Americans on the job. Quite a number gave me cards on which was printed with a flourish. 'First American Expeditionary Force.' That describes the sentiment. They are plentifully supplied with American newspapers in which they read of the progress of drafting with great interest. When they spoke of the six hundred thousand in the cantons back home, their faces took on smiles, ragged smiles. They knew they had a backing as mighty as the mightiest." France Has 38 000 War Dogs: Most of These Are German France has a force of 38,000 war dogs at the front. The number of these canine soldiers has steadily increased since the beginning of the war. Of this big force at least 20,000 are what is known as the Albanian breed, a German dog. They have been found to be the bravest and most intelligent. Originally the Alsatian was a sheep dog in the conquered provinces of Alsace and Lorraine, but the Germans crossed the strain with the gray wolf. The result was a big, gaunt gray animal yith a head more like that of the wolf than that of a dog. They are fierce to ow's, too, and very formidable in a fight. The French have found that these dogs take training quickly and will learn to do more things than even the famed Belgian "police dogs." These latter rank second in number at the front. The Belgian dog is tree from the wolf strain and lacks the fierceness of its Alsatian comrade. Moreover, it objects to "biding," which is very often necessary as a corrective to mistakes. M. Aaron, proprietor of the Dog's Palace in Paris, is the chief source of supply for the French government. He owes great breeding kennels and has combed the neutral lands of Europe for suitable dogs. The price of the war dogs has risen hugely since the war began and an untrained dog of the Alsatian variety now sells at $80, while a trained dog brings from $125 to $200.

More of the terrible practices. ot Germans in torturing their prisoner: have been revealed to the United States government, The latest chapter of the crimes practiced in the prison ‘camps was revealed by a Russian who had been a prisoner. Finally escaping from the prison camp, he traveled twelve days until he came to an electrically charged wire fencing about the stockade which bar red the prisoners from the rest of the World. A terrific storm occurred that night and drove the guards to shelter. With a long knife he had procured, he dug his way under the fence and ‘escaped. So short was the food allowance, he declared that the prisoners who were forced to work, were reduced to sick- ness and. many became too weak to walk. ‘The prisoners’ allowance of bread was one loaf of two and one-half Pounds a day for four men. Turnip soup was the only other thing they got to eat. Occasionally there was meat in it from some injured horse that had been killed. A labor bat- talion of prisoners bad originally con- sisted of 2,000 men, but the processes of starvation, accidents, exposure, un- merciful beatings, and death have re- nced it to about 690, The same pro- cess of disintegration wus going on in all the battalions. ‘Those men who cheated the grave. yard were either distributed among other battalions, sent ta hospitals be- hind the front, or were assigned to in- valid commands. They were total phy: sical wrecks, and barely hung on to life. Some of them had broken arms ‘or legs and fingerless hands—in a word, men with every injury and de- formity the buman frame can endure and still hold life. ‘The sick, the injured, and those ut- terly worn out and unfit are never sent back to Germany to their original camps, but are kept bebind the front there to die. The officials are afraid of the effect on their own people of the horrible sight these men present. Phey are ike men who stalk out of their graves, animated skeletons, Yones covered with skin, cheeks with: out flesh, deeply sunken eyes. ‘Phe Informant was a sergeant and resisted to the end all German at tempts to compel him to work. He Said he was given the choice to work or to be starved to death. He accept ed, ibe latter, For six days he was stood at attention in an open field from 6 a. m. till noon. After eating ‘is soup at noon he and thirty other noncommissioned officers were lock ed up in @ wet cellar until, morning. ‘This went of for six days. ‘They were then told that three of the thirty of them would be picked ‘out by lot and would be shot unless they consented to work. They were Jed out. ‘The informant and ten others per sisted in their refusal and begged the officer to have them shot. They were Jed to one side, their arms were twist ed behind their backs, wrists were tied with a rope and they were then Jed each to a post and backed against it; wooden blocks were brought on which they Were made to stand while their hands were tied to the post as high ag possible. ‘The blocks were then kicked out from under them and they were left suspended by their wrists with thei: feet off the ground, the upper part of their body taking a drooping position. ‘They remained thus suspended two hours. ‘The next day the process was repeated. Hanging of the victims con- tinued and was followed by beatings with rifle butts then followed four more hours of hanging, when con- sciousness left them. Altogether he hung twelve hours on that post. German soldiers standing in the vicinity cursed their commandant for the wanton cruelty. He was finally liberated and was sent to work along with others. He ‘was given a shovel and threw it away. ‘This went on for five days after which he was sent to another barrack and was Ieft alone. The cook there en listed bis services and he worked in the kitchen. He stated that there were ten other noncommissioned officers who similarly resisted all German et forts to compel them to work. ‘Then a party of thirty, five of whom were sergeants, came to his battalion. Twenty of them consented to work, others refused. ‘They were made to stand immovable from 5 a. m. to noon when soup was given them and then thé standing continued to 10 p. m. ‘Phis continued eight days. ‘The com- ‘mandant told them they would stand ‘until they were dead unless they con. sented to work. ‘The men’s legs be- came so swoolen that they could neither stand nor move and they were removed somewhere. ‘Death often visited the prisoners ‘barracks during the night and brought Telief to some unfortunate. ‘Touchy.

Articles are contributed by Anna How- ard Shaw, chairman of the woman's committee of the Council of National Defense; Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt, resident of the National Woman Sut- frage Association, and others. ‘The Public says editorially: ‘The story of what women have done and are doing in the great war will some day be written adequately, and we shall have then a great epic of sacrifice, courage and devotion. It will be the story of unshaken faith and stoic endurance no less than a story of dashing initiative and dramat- ic heroism. The Russian battalion of death and the British nurse facing the German firing squad without flinching will furnish its dramatic epi- sodes. But its pages will be no less glorified by the spirit of the millions who toiled’ and waited at home—the millions of “average” women whose unweakened morale, month after month, year after year, heartened the men in the trenches and strengthened their determination to “see it through” French statesmen have testified that it was the women at home they watch- ed most anxiously. for any sign of wavering. With them rested, finally, the decision whether the allied nations should compromise with the regime that exalts brute force, or fight on un- til it was finally and utterly discred- ited. ‘Their answer has been never in doubt. With the unerting intuition of their sex, the women of the demo- eracies have recognized in Prussian- ism something that must be driven from the earth at all costs. Their very loathing of bloodshed and brutal- ity has steeled them to hold out, de- termined that no future generation shall be called upon to face the hor- rors they have endured. The great war has presented an issue that is peculiarly a woman's issue, It is not without significance that the rulers of Prussia have preached Kirche, Kinder, Kuehen (Church, Children, Cooking), for generations. It is not meaningless that we hear of women heroes in ev- ery belligerent nation except Ger- many. That country bas been of an unmitigated masculinity throughout these blood drenched years. ‘The na- tion that caused this war fs not mere- ly the nation distinguished by an auto- ératic government, by suppression of the individual in the interests of the state. Its also the nation distinguish. ed for the subordinate place given to women in its schools and political life. ‘To say that'women should be placed on a plane of political equality with men is to say @ thing 50 obvious to: day that the need of saying it is ex- asperating. Every stale argument against it has been removed, dramat- ically and finally, by what women have done in the allied countries, by what they are doing in America to- day. The votes of women will keep us out of war only when to enter it would mean aggression, as in Mex ico last year, The votes and brawn and brains, even the blood, of women will be valiantly for war when war means an opportunity to free the world of aggression and violence. The real democrat needs no evidence of what women suffrage will accomplish. It is a part of democracy. Democracy means self-government for the individ. ual as for the nation. In its subjec- tive effect on the individual it has its supreme justification. “If women were less capable than men of meeting po- litical responsibility, as they have roved that they are not, it would be only another reason for giving i to them. This is the ultimate raison @etre of democracy—to improve the individual. Only the foolish Niet sebia in and out of Potsdam, thinks it can be done any other way than the way of democracy. Our self-respect as a nation is compromised by every day in which congress delays the en- actment of this national obligation. Perils of the Movie Man. ‘When the history of the war is writ- ten, it will contain a page never be- fore included in any chronicle of mar- tial struggle—the record of the daunt- less bravery of the motion picture war photographers—the official camera men, designated by their governments to expose themselves to the open fire of the enemy, in order that posterity may appreciate, through actual vis- ualization, the price their fathers paid to make the world safe for democracy. ‘The perils which these silent and un- heralded messengers of history invite have never been so graphically evi- Wenced as in the official Italian war pictures and the well-nigh superhuman feats the camera men were called up- on to perform. To secure these remarkable and realistic views of the Italian struggle, from the top of the snow-capped peaks ‘of the Alps to the swells of the Adri- atic, it has been necessary for the man with the camera to bridge dizzy depths, over bottomless chasms, by means of flimsy cables; to scale the peak of the Alps to the heights where the white silence is broken on- ly by the distant thunder of the moun- tain batteries far below, 2nd to mount to observation points so high that the rareness of the air makes it impossi- ble to hear all but shouted commands. In one engagement alone, during the advance in the Isonzo region, two of these eamera men sacrificed their lives, and five other: braved such perils that they were officially dee- orated by the government.—Film Fun, How She Tells.

No, and yes, The kind Of an anesthetic he has discovered is brand-new, says Edgar Mowrer, in Col lier’s, Instead of applying it through injection, it is sprayed onto a wound, “or dubbed on with cotton, to any ex “terior part of the body where pain is felt.

This was not the last obstacle, however: The British government found it too expensive to make, it was said, ‘The “ingredients are fairly common and the only secret.
