Corpora Can GIVES MOST BRILLIANT BAY WAS EVER WITNESSED BY NEARLY 1200 OF DE Memorial Day in Dever was an event long to be remembered by society young and old. The colored citizens have reason to feel and be proud of the boys of Corporal White Camp, not only because of the brilliant records of each man during the war with Spain and the Philippine Insurrection, but because of their magnificent showing in the Grand March Memorial Day. Not only were they the best dressed, best looking body of men in line, but they were the most soldierly appearing as well. Marching erect with one step they were cheered by the throngs of people who lined the streets to pay their respects to the Old Veterans of the Civil War. The weather was ideal and the parade was beautiful to behold. After the parade our boys of Corporal White Camp marched to the Auditorium there to make ready for their Grand Annual Military Ball Promptly at 8 p.m. the great doors of the Auditorium swung open and the people began to pour in and from that time on to eleven o'clock the people came on foot, on cars, and in taxi-cabs and touring cars until the large Auditorium was packed for the first time by colored citizens. It was the largest, best dressed and most representative gathering of colored citizens ever held in Denver. The Ball was a brilliant affair indeed and a grand success in every way. There was not one single happening to mar the pleasure of the dancers, and the management was as systematic and orderly as any thing could be. There was no friction, not a cross word by any one to disturb the wave of pleasure that was so all prevading and rampant. The Colorado STATESMAN congratulates the boys of Corporal White Camp for putting over the biggest and most brilliant affair ever held in Denver by colored citizens. Yet, when we come to consider who these brave boys are and whence they came we should not wonder. They are soldiers brave and true and not afraid to do. They succeed; because they really went out of their way, regardless of cost or labor to give the people something for their money. It is simply a demstraction of what can be done if you know how. Our people do not mind giving their patronage to any organization that tries to please and the reason there was such an outpouring of people at this grand affair was because they admired the progressive spirit, the nerve and gameness of the boys in blue. Mr. George Morrison firmly established his superior skill as an orchestra leader and made good in everyway. Then let us all take our hats off to the boys of Corporal White Camp, for they surely put one over on us. We, or some of us doubted that they could do it, but now that they did it and got away let us give them three cheers and wish them well. BILLY SUNDAY "CLEANS UP" PATERSON Paterson, N. J., is not a very large city; so when we read that Billy Sunday for his seven week's campaign in that city received as his own individual share $25,000 in cash, besides other valuable gifts, we can only exclaim in Billy's own vernacular, "He certainly did clean up Paterson!" We do not mean to say that Billy did not earn the money. His drawing power would net him just about that much in vaudeville, and he wouldn't have to work near so hard. However, we cannot believe that saving souls and making money out of it as a business is looked upon with favor by God, or will be very much longer by decent men. Billy Sunday's methods, especially that of getting money, are so far from the direct example set by Jesus Christ that no allowances for 20th century civilization can excuse them. The early apostles trudged about with scarcely clothes for their backs, and laid the foundation that made Christianity the religion of the Roman world, Billy Sundav has gained for himself more than $25,000 for seven week's work, and it is probable that within three months there will not remain in Paterson one single beneficial effect of his efforts. Billy has a right to make all the money he can, but he ought to do it where he seems to belong rightly—in vaudeville.—New York Age. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JUNE 5. 1915 State Hist & Nut Hist Boosts State House GIANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO RACE PREJUDICE The following article from a magazine entitle "Our Dumb Animals" owned and printed by a white firm has come out forcibly championing the cause of the Negro race by denouncing the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation." Periodicals alike these with such kind of Americans will surely remove the ban placed upon us on account of our color and that very soon we trust. The article follows:— This magazine has stood, from the day of its inception, for justice and fair play. It has by no means confined its interests to animals. Men, women, children, the victims of greed, oppression, injustice, prejudice, have found on its pages an outspoken championship. It has asked of no man the color of his skin, nor of any man the shibboleth of his sect. It has never been able to understand how anything but a man's inner spirit could be the measure of his manhood, or anything but the fruit of his creed the test of his religion. It would therefore be untrue to itself if it failed to denounce the attempt that has been made here in Boston to humiliate and villain the colored American citizen. This is what the photo play known as "The Birth of a Nation" does. Not only does it falsify history to suit its own purpose, representing the Ku Klux Klan as a body of chivalrous knights, bearing the cross as their holy standard, like the crusaders of old; not only does it falsify the character of the Negro of war times and imply that he is still unfit for citizenship in an enlightened republic, and present him in guises that excite hostility against him, but it appears to have been most skillfully and deliberately planned to arouse and widen in the North that prejudice against the Negro that has characterized the worst elements of the South. It holds up for hissing and hate a mulatto on the ground that he wants to marry a white girl, but sweeps the audience on without time for anyone to remember that that very mulatto face is the undeniable witness to the -fact that some white man outraged his colored mother. At a day when all Europe is a battle-field where race prejudice is reaping the whirlwind of its own sowing, and when we all must realize how easily that spirit may be kindled here, to permit the continuance of this exhibition in Boston, the home of Garrison and Phillips and Sumner, is a reproach to our city. It is devoutly hoped that the attempt now being made to stop it by some legislative act will have been successful ere these words are read. We are perfectly sure that no other race of our citizens would ever have endured the in- sults, the wrongs, the lynching, the robberies of rights guaranteed under the constitution without seeking by some other than legal methods those rights the appeal to law has seemed impotent to secure.

Wednesday, 8 p. m.—State Capitol, Public Session, addressed by Governor Carlson and Hon. Clair J. Pitcher, Commissioner of Finance. This convention, to be held in Denver next week, will mark one of the greatest epochs in the annals of the Women's Clubs of this Western territory, which includes Wyoming and Utah, as special preparation has been made by their Executive Board and other departments to demonstrate to the public and fundamentals of this useful organization which is not confined in a narrow sphere to Colorado but whose principles extend the country over, making itself not only a valuable asset to the well-being of our people, but an indispensable condition in the achievement of such qualities as result in progressiveness of a people, a nation, a country and a very help to the amelioration of conditions among the various peoples of the universe. Quite a number of visitors will be present and it is for us to give them the Welcome which is the motto of our city and receive them with open arms. Specially is your attention called to the Public Session at the State Capitol on Wednesday evening, 8 o'clock, which will be addressed by the Governor of Colorado and our Commissioner of Finance. We ought to fill every seat in that hall, which would be expressive of our appreciation of the privilege of the State officials in giving us this building for the first time in our history in Colorado and through the indefatigable efforts of our Women's Clubs. Old and young should turn out en masse and prove to the other side our realization of appreciation of good things. The Colorado Stateman wishes the convention every success, and as it has done on previous occasions gives its hearty support to this organization which has the welfare of our people at heart and which has peace, love and harmony for its propaganda. Success for the Convention. We sincerely regret to learn that Capt. Thos. Campbell who has been in the Treasurer's Office for the past two years, resigned his position Thursday. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES It is probable that Mesick, Wexford county, has the olny white church in Michigan which has a colored pastor. Recently Rev. Nathan Pritchard, who for the past year has been pastor of the Free Methodist Chuch at Meauwataka, the members of which are whites, was transferred by District Elder A. G. Hardie to Mesick as pastor of the Free Methodist Church in that village. It is stated that Mr. Pritchard was given a royal welcome by the church membership of nearly 100. Chicago, Ill., May 25.—According to a decision of Dr. Theodore B. Sachs, president of the board of trustees of the municipal tuberculosis sanitarium, protests will not bring about the establishment of a color line at the sanitarium, as long as he is head of the institution. His attention has been called to a report a few days ago that four white girls had withdrawn from treatment at the institution, because they had been assigned to a fresh air cottage in which there were colored girls. Backed by Mayor Wm. Hale Thompson, who took such a manly stand relative to "The Birth of a Nation," Dr. Sachs has made it known publicly that there will be no "Jim Crow" cottages for colored patients during his term of office. Chicago, Ill., May 25.—The photo-plays. "The Nigger," and "The Birth of a Nation," will be barred from exhibition in Illinois by the terms of Representative Jackson's bill, which passed the house in Springfield, Ill., May 18, by a vote of 111 to 2. Representative Jackson is one of the two colored Republican members of the house from Chicago Representative Jackson made a speech which brought members to their feet and won a decisive victory over those who were attempting to defeat the bill he had introduced. The representative charged in closing the debate that the moving picture interests were behind the effort to defeat the bill. The bill prohibits the exhibiting of any film that shows a lynching or unlawful hanging and is based on the theory that presentation of such pictures tends to race hatred and a rioting. Upper Marlboro, Md., May 4. The board of county school commissioners today sustained the rrustees of the Aquasco school in their action in denying Joseph Gerone Gardiner, nine years old, admission to the white school, of NO 42 that district. Early in the year, Miss Helen Brisco, teacher in the Aquasco School, acting upon the advice of the trustees, refused to admit young Gardiner the report being circulated that the boy's blood was tainted. The boy's father filed a petition with the county school commissioners asking that the action of local trustees be revoked. A volume of testimony was taken about a month ago and the commissioners have since been studying it. Today they rendered a decision which denies young Gardiner the right to enter the white school. The matter will probably go to the State Board of Education and ultimately to the court. OKLAHOMA GIRL MAKES GOOD AT KANSAS UNIV. McAlester, Okla., May 25 Miss Hazel Burnice McDaniel of McAlester, Okla., in 1910, as valedictorian of her class. During the second semester of the college year 1910-11, Miss McDaniel specialized in music in the University of Kansas, in which art she is very proficient. In the fall of 1911 she entered the college department of the university, and will be graduated from this department at the end of the present school year. Since she has been in attendance at the University Miss McDaniel has attracted the favorable attention of the faculty to a marked degree by her diligent, persistent effort in the class room and the accomplishments resulting therefrom. On several occasions she has merited and received the unstinted compliment of members of the faculty for the excellent character of her work. But recently she was highly complimented by the faculty of the university on her thesis, an honor which is not the fortune of many students to receive. During the present year Miss McDaniel was given a class to teach in English literature. This task was performed with such thorough satisfaction as to elicit both the confidence of her students and the commendation of the faculty. The innate ability of Miss McDaniel is unquestioned, else she could scarcely have accomplished what she has since entering the University of Kansas. With these natural and required gifts, supplemented by untiring energy and keen aspirations, it is not difficult to forecast the future of this young woman. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR The British steamer Ethiopia was torpedoed and sunk. Since the war began 130 British merchant ships have been lost. Italian troops have occupied thirty-seven villages, surrounding Cortina in the Ampezzo valley. Three of the forts of Przemysl have been captured by Bavarian troops, the war office at Berlin announced. An official Berlin report says the Russians have evacuated the important town of Radom in Poland, to the south of Warsaw. The Allan liner Corsican, which arrived at Glasgow with about 1,000 passengers, was chased by a submarine near Queenstown. Ninety bombs were dropped in the raid on London by a Zeppelin airship. Four persons were killed and a few were injured. No public building was damaged. A prisoner captured a fortnight ago in the Dardanelles says that the Turkish losses in the defense of their positions on the Gallipoli peninsula were, at that time, over 40,000 men. The Russian bark Montrosa was blown up by a mine in the North Sea twenty-five miles from Spurn. The vessel sank. Her crew was landed at Hull by a Norwegian steamer. The capture of 9,000 more prisoners is announced by the German war office which represents the situation in the east an favorable to Germany, with the exception of the retreat from the San near Sieniwa. The British steamer Tullochmoor, 3,520 tons, was shelled and sunk by a German submarine. The crew escaped and was landed at Barry, Wales. The Tullochmoor was in ballast from Genoa for South Shields. French torpedo boats have brought into port at Brest, France, the crews of the British steamer Glenlee and the Portuguese steamer Cysne, which were torpedoed by a German submarine between the Scilly islands and Cape Finisterre. The crews were picked up at sea by the French schooner Dixi which transferred them to the torpedo boats. WESTERN Military patrolled the city at Enid, Okla., following deportation of 300 harvest hands who had threatened food raids unless the city provided for them. The Kaskaskia river broke through two places near Vandalia, Ill., and inundated 20,000 acres of farm lands. It is estimated the damage to crops alone will exceed $100,000. Fifteen tons of dynamite, stored on a scow anchored in the harbor at Seattle, Wash., said to have been awaiting shipment to Russia, exploded, completely wrecking the scow. Damage estimated at $40,000 was done to plate glass windows in Seattle. Testimony tending to show cruelty and that his wife, Alma, formerly of Denver, had chased him with a butcher knife, won an uncontested divorce for Arthur Little, Detroit druggist, from the wife whose efforts to prove herself not of negro descent have interested the nation. After every legal recourse had failed, the mercy plea of William J. Bryan, secretary of state, which had been rejected by the State Legislature, proved potent to save the lives of the five Mexicans who were to have been hanged at the penitentiary at Florence, Ariz. At the last moment the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, taking cognizance of Mr. Bryan's request for delay, ordered reprieves of six weeks for all of the condemned men and recommended that they be executed separately and not together. WASHINGTON President Wilson sent some fifteen Memorial Day wreaths to soldiers' graves throughout the country. Cotton showed a condition of 80 per cent of a normal on May 25, the Department of Agriculture announced in its first report of the season. President Wilson, as head of the American Red Cross, issued an appeal to the American people to contribute money and supplies of food for the relief of starving Mexicans. The Pan-American financial conference came to an end after six days' discussion of problems which have confronted the two Americas as a consequence of the European war and America's first need was declared to be more vessels. After more than two hours' discussion at Tuesday's cabinet meeting over the international problems with respect to Germany and Mexico, preparation of the second note to Germany was begun and a warning to the factions in Mexico was completed. FOREIGN The crew of eight men of the Russian ship Mars have arrived at Aberdeen after a perilous voyage. News from Belgrade says that the Serbian army has been reorganized and intends taking the offensive to aid the Italians. The Russian steamer Boro II, caught fire and burned to the water's edge in the harbor at Helsingfors, Gulf of Finland. Forty lives were lost. To further prevent the waste of food, the Berlin authorities have promulgated new rules for restaurants, abolishing table d'hote meals. Pope Benedict, at an audience granted to Bishop Thomas F. Kennedy and a number of newly consecrated American priests, expressed the hope that America would use her best efforts to bring an end to the European war. Switzerland probably will suffer the same fate as Belgium from invasion by German armies in an effort to reach Italy, in the opinion of a high official of the Italian army, according to dispatches from Rome. No bodies of officers and crew of the United States submarine F-4 were found in the forward hold of the vessel when a diver entered it, according to an announcement by Rear Admiral B. T. Moore at Honolulu. The American liner St. Paul was chased by a German submarine as it neared Liverpool. The hostile craft pursued the big liner right up to Mersey Bar. The purpose of the submarine is believed to have been to stop the ship and take off William Marconi, the wireless inventor. Theophile Braga, who was provisional president of Portugal following the revolution which resulted in the abdication of King Manuel, was elected president of the republic by the National Assembly to succeed Manuel De Arriaga who resigned. Senor Braga was elected by a vote of 98 to 1. SPORTING NEWS Standing of Western League Clubs. Clubs. Won. Lost. Pct.

Pledges of support to President Wilson "in these perilous times," and prayers for righteous peace of the world marked the opening at Richmond, Va., of the twenty-fifth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans. Maurice Benjamin Medbury, wealthy dealer in antique jewelry, left a mystery behind when he sank with the Lusitania. Two women, Mrs. M. D. Medbury of Alameda, Cal., and a Mrs. Medbury-Danbury of London, each claim to be the jewelry deler's legal wife and have begun a battle for his estate, variously estimated at from $50,000 to $150,000. Having abandoned all hope of escaping the electric chair in the week of July 12 for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, Charles Becker, former police lieutenant, is bitterly defiant and threatens to publicly repudiate any efforts on the part of his wife or friends to appeal to Governor Whitman for clemency. An earthquake shock of brief duration shook buildings at Bakersfield, Cal. So far as known no damage was done. Reports from Fresno and other towns said the shock was felt slightly, but that no damage had been caused. The imperial government allows itself in this connection to point out that the Lusitania was one of the largest and fastest British merchant ships, built with government funds as an auxiliary cruiser and carried expressly as such in the "navy list" issued by the British admiralty. It is further known to the imperial government, from trustworthy reports from its agents and neutral passengers, that for a considerable time practically all the more valuable British merchantmen have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons and manned with persons who have been especially trained in serving guns. The Lusitania, too, according to information received here had cannon aboard, which were mounted and concealed below deck. The imperial government further has the honor to direct the particular attention of the American government to the fact that the British admiralty, in a confidential instruction issued in February, 1915, recommended its mercantile shipping not only to seek protection under neutral flags and distinguishing marks, but also, while thus disguised, to attack German submarines by ramming. As a special incitation to merchantment to destroy submarines the British government also offered high prizes and has already paid such rewards. The imperial government, in view of these facts, indubitably known to it, is unable to regard British merchantmen in the zone of naval operations specified by the admiralty staff of the German navy as "undefended." German commanders consequently are no longer able to observe the customary regulations of the prize law, which they before always followed. Finally, the imperial government must point out particularly that the Lusitania on its last trip, as on earlier occasions, carried Canadian troops and war material, including no less than 5,400 cases of ammunition intended for the destruction of the brave German soldiers who are fulfilling their duty with self-sacrifices and devotion in the fatherland's service. The German government believes that it was acting in justified self-defense in seeking with all the means of warfare at its disposal to protect the lives of its soldiers by destroying ammunition intended for the enemy. The British Shipping Company must have been aware of the danger to which the passengers aboard the Lusitania were exposed under these conditions. The company in embarking them, notwithstanding this, attempted deliberately to use the lives of American citizens as protection for the ammunition aboard and acted against the clear provisions of the American law, which expressly prohibits the forwarding of passengers on ships carrying ammunition, and provides a penalty therefore. The company, therefore, is wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers. There can be no doubt, according to the definite report of the submarine's commander, which is further confirmed by all other information, that the quick sinking of the Lusitania is primarily attributable to the explosion of the ammunition shipment caused by a torpedo. The Lusitania's passengers would otherwise, in all human probability, have been saved. The imperial government considers the above mentioned facts important enough to recommend them to the active examination of the American government. The imperial government, while withholding its final decision of the demands advanced in connection with the sinking of the Lusitania until receipt of an answer from the American government, feels impelled, in conclusion, to recall, here and now, that it took cognizance with satisfaction of the mediatory proposals submitted by the United States government to Berlin and London as a basis for a modus vivendi for conducting the maritime warfare between Germany and Great Britain. The imperial government, by its readiness to enter upon a discussion of these proposals, then demonstrated its good intentions in ample fashion. The realization of these proposals was defeated, as is well known, by the declinatory attitude of the British government. American law does not prohibit ammunition from being carried on passenger ships, it will be asserted, but only self-exploding material, and liners in the past have been permitted to carry arms and ammunition, by special ruling of the State Department on the meaning of federal statutes. Germany's failure even to discuss the reparation demanded by the American note, and evasion of the request that guarantees be given that American vessels and lives be not endangered in the future are the main points, however, which the United States government was generally believed would refer in the second note. The expressions of regret and offers of reparation for unintentional attacks on neutral ships are expected to have little weight in determining the nature of the response of the United States. Persons close to President Wilson have learned that he is determined to obtain reparation for the Lusitania victims and assurances of respect for American rights in future, and that, failing this, he would not hesitate to sever diplomatic relations with Germany. Piutes Leave Reservation. Santa Fe, N. M.—The renegade Piutes of southern Utah are violating their promise to General Scott to remain inside the reservation, are roaming over the country and making threats against the white inhabitants, according to A. H. Spencer of the Mexican Hat, Utah, trading post. The parole agreement provided that if the Indians left the reservation the state authorities would have power to return them forcibly, and Mr. Spencer believes that if this is attempted bloodshed will result. GERMANY'S NOTE REPLYING TO DEMAND OF UNITED STATES FOR EXPLANATION OF ATTACKS. KAISER IGNORES WILSON DEMAND THAT SUBMARINE ATTACKS MUST CEASE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Berlin, May 30.—The undersigned has the honor to submit to Ambassador Gerard the following answer to the communication of May 15, regarding the injury to American interests through German submarine warfare: The imperial government has subjected the communication of the American government to a thorough investigation. It entertains a keen wish to cooperate in a frank and friendly way in clearing up a possible misunderstanding which may have arisen in the relations between the two governments through the events mentioned by the American government. Regarding, firstly, the cases of the American steamers Cushing and Gullight. The American embassy has already been informed that the German government has no intention of submitting neutral ships in the war zone which are guilty of no hostile acts, to attacks by a submarine or submarines, or aviators. On the contrary, the German forces have repeatedly been instructed most specifically to avoid attacks on such ships. If neutral ships in recent months have suffered through the German submarine warfare, owing to mistakes in identification, it is a question only of quite isolated and exceptional cases, which can be attributed to the British government's abuse of flags, together with the suspicious or culpable behavior of the masters of the ships. The German government, in all cases in which it has been shown by investigations that a neutral ship, not itself at fault, was damaged by German submarines or aviators, has expressed regret over the unfortunate accident, and, if justified by conditions, has offered indemnification. The cases of the Cushing and Gulflight will be treated on the same principles. An investigation of both cases is in progress, the result of which will presently be communicated to the emcan be supplemented by an international call on the international commission of inquiry, as provided by Article III of The Hague agreement of October 18, 1907. When sinking the British steamer Falaba, the commander of the German submarine had the intention of allowing the passengers and crew a full opportunity for a safe escape. Only when the master did not obey the order to heave to, but fled and summoned help by rocket signals, did the German commander order the crew and passengers by signals and megaphones to leave the ship within ten minutes. He actually allowed them twenty-three minutes' time, and fired the torpedo only when suspicious craft were hastening to the assistance of the Falaba. Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British passenger steamer Lusitania, the German government has already expressed to the neutral governments concerned its keen regrets that citizens of their states lost their lives. On this occasion, the imperial government, however, cannot escape the impression that certain important facts having a direct bearing on the sinking of the Lusitania may have escaped the attention of the American government. In the interest of a clear and complete understanding, which is the aim of both governments, the imperial government considers it first necessary to convince itself that the information accessible to both governments about the facts of the case is complete and in accord. The government of the United States proceeds on the assumption that the Lusitania could be regarded as an ordinary unarmed merchantman. U. S. OFFICIALS DISAPPOINTED When Germany's Evasive Answer Fails to Suggest Any Plan for Settlement. Washington. — Germany's reply to the American note concerning the sinking of the Lusitania with a loss of more than 100 American lives produced a feeling of profound disappointment here. Dissatisfaction at the failure of Germany to answer the demands of the United States was reflected in government circles generally. President Wilson had retired early—before the text arrived—but from a reading of the summary and Ambassador Gerard's forecast, he had an accurate impression of what it contained. This is expected to give the American government's understanding of the facts—that the Lusitania was unarmed and carried no concealed guns, that she sailed from the United States a peaceful merchantman and that under all rules of international law and humanity the vessel should have been visited and searched and her passengers transferred to a place of safety, whether carrying ammunition or not.

A. building at 1834 Paseo a few weeks ago and literally pushed him inside. "Maybe these folks can do something with you," she said severely to the small boy, wh. was looking stubborn and keeping still. "If they can't I'm through with you." She left a little money for the small boy uplift and departed, voluble with doubts. The young Negro men at the Y. M. C. A. are a hopeful crowd. He was a sturdy small boy, and he would look you squarely in the eye, and abundant energy is a good fault, even though it does take Satanic outlets at times. If there were just some way of getting him. And presently it developed that the small boy was extremely fond of swimming. A grin of pure raptu overspread his countenance when he saw the big pool of clear green water in the basement—and thereafter the small boy's interest was assured. He's bossing a Bible class now and swimming in races with fellows twice his size, and allowing the big straight military Hardy, "gym" instructor, who used to play on a real college football team with surprising precision. He raps up his orders in good style, this man Hardy; and he's training them not to shuffle their feet, and to hold up their heads and their shoulders, and yet he has time to give a pat on the back to the fat boy who has such a hard time getting over the "horse" and who reduces the entire room, including the "ragging" piano player, to gleeful laughter. It is very new, this Negro Y. M. C. A. it's only been open two months—and comparatively few people know about it. Also, there is a good deal of fantastic misinformation current on Vine street. A lodging house keeper will tell you that the rooms are kennels and the beds bunks hollowed out of the wall. As a matter of fact, the rooms, with their oak furniture, electric lights, steam heat and clean beds, and a big window in each room, are hard to beat anywhere in town. They rent for $1.50 to $2.50 a week, and there is no accommodation for Negroes in town to compare with them. It is interesting, too, to see the pride the men take in keeping the rooms clean—Kansas City Star. The growing literacy of the Negroes is an occasion for general approval. In every city and state the percentage of illiteracy among Negroes is lower in younger generations than in the older. In Georgia, for example, among Negroes from ten to fourteen years old the percentage of those who can't write was 22.1. Among those between twenty-five and thirty-four years the percentage of illiteracy was 32.7. Among those from fifty-five to sixty-four years and over the percentage was 70.2. The Negro is taking advantage of the educational opportunities at hand. In Boston the number of Negro children who go to school is in a greater proportion than the number of native white children in ten other census cities. But even so, less than half of the Negro children from six to twenty years old are attending school, taking the country as a whole. These bare figures, however, recount a record of progress made possible only by tremendous efforts. Within sixty years of freedom the Negro has achievements to his credit of which any race might be proud. That education is the solution of the Negro problem in the United States is the practical and proved theory being advanced today by the enlightened men and women both of the white and colored races. When one considers that it was only a little more than half a century ago that the Negro was freed from bondage in this country, the advancement made by these people in almost every walk and profession of life is almost remarkable. Earning a living through civil service furnishes interesting proof of the Negro's faithfulness and ability. When the Negro was first admitted to civil service examination it was pointed out by Negrophobists that with the merit system the Negro would be eliminated from civil service, but just the reverse has happened. It has been found that wireless telegraph waves are propagated along the surface of the earth with a velocity slightly inferior to that of light.

In the American Magazine appears an account of Mrs. Dismukes, Negro laudress in Fisk university at Nashville, Tenn., who, out of her small means has given $1,000 toward a music building for Fisk university. Fortynine other thousands are necessary if the building is to be realized, but Mrs. Dismukes has infinite faith that they will be forthcoming. Following is an extract from the account of what this woman has done. The article was written by the late Dr. George A. Gates, the late president of Fisk university: "Her story is almost too sacred to put into print. She felt and feels that all of life that is worth while she owes to Fisk university and what it has revealed to her of the spirit of high-minded and generous men and women. She has felt that all she could do was too little in return for what she has received. So this hard-working, faithful and efficient Negro woman has kept her home, her husband maintaining it with a man's self-respect. She meantime has done her full work and borne her full responsibility in her place in the institution. For the last four years she has turned back her monthly salary check into the institution, until just now she has completed her long cherished plan to give $1,000 as the beginning of a fund for a music building on our campus. "On the day that the last $25 was turned into the school treasury, completing the thousand, Mrs. Dismukes declared she wouldn't exchange places with anyone, that she was the happiest woman in the world. "The music building has not yet materialized, but her faith is undaunted, and she frequently remarks to some teacher in the music department: 'Of course that music building is coming! I know it. I feel it. Why, it's bound to come! But I wish it might while I'm alive to see it.'" While Negroes increased numerically in the United States between 1900 and 1910 to the extent of 11.2 percent, they did not keep pace with the whites. That was due to immigration. On this account there has been a continuous decrease in the proportion of Negroes to the rest of the inhabitants. In 1790 Negroes made up nearly one-fifth of the population; in 1910 they composed slightly over one-tenth. Further, the number of mulattoes appears to have increased continuously during the last forty years. Of the 9,827,763 Negroes in the country at the time of the last counting, more than one-fifth were of mixed white and Negro blood. That indicates how prevalent is the process of miscegenation, a process through which in the course of a thousand years or so the Negro will have lost his color, according to at least one anthropologist of great reputation. In 1900 20 per cent of Negro homes were owned. In 1910 the percentage had grown to 22.4. In Virginia 41.3 per cent of all Negro homes were owned, an extremely high figure. Virginia, however, had fewer Negroes in 1910 than it had a decade previous. From Virginia 206,764 Negroes migrated to other states during the ten-year period. Though popular opinion in the South holds that Negroes "go North" when they move, Arkansas, a southern state, showed the greatest gain from this migration. One of the evils of war is the lowering of the national physique. In the generation after the Franco-German war there was an appreciable decrease in the stature of Frenchmen through the large number of young men of good physique who were killed.

Will Step in to Restore Peace if They Cannot Do It. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, June 3.—The text of President Wilson's message to the American people concerning the policy of the United States toward Mexico follows: "For more than two years revolutionary conditions have existed in Mexico. The purpose of the revolution was to rid Mexico of men who ignored the constitution of the republic and used their power in contempt of the right of its people, and with these purposes the people of the United States instinctively and generously sympathized. "But the leaders of the revolution in the very hour of their success have disagreed and turned their arms against one another." "All professing the same objects, they are, nevertheless, unable or unwilling to cooperate. A central authority at Mexico City is no sooner set up than* it is undermined and its authority denied by those who were expected to support it. "Mexico is apparently no nearer a solution of her tragical troubles than she was when the revolution first kindled. And she has been swept by civil war as if by fire. Her crops are destroyed, her fields lie unseeded, her work cattle are confiscated for the use of the armed factions, her people flee to the mountains to escape being drawn into unavailing bloodshed and no man seems to see or lead the way to peace and settled order. There is no proper protection either for her own citizens or for the citizens of other nations resident and at work within her territory. Mexico is starving and without a government. "In these circumstances the people and government of the United States cannot stand indifferently by and do nothing to serve their neighbors. They want nothing for themselves in Mexico. Least of all do they desire to settle her affairs for her, or claim any right to do so. But neither do they wish to see utter ruin come upon her, and they deem it their duty as friends and neighbors to lend any aid they properly can to any instrumentality which promises to be effective in bringing about a settlement which will embody the real objects of the revolution—constitutional government and the rights of the people. "Patriotic Mexicans are sick at heart and cry out for peace and for every self-sacrifice that may be necessary to procure it. The people cry out for food and will presently hate as much as they fear every man in their country or out of it who stands between them and their daily bread "It is time, therefore, that the government of the United States should frankly state the policy which, in these extraordinary circumstances, it becomes its duty to adopt. It must presently do what it has not hitherto done or felt at liberty to do, lend its active moral support to some man or group of men, if such may be found, who can rally the suffering people of Mexico to their support in an effort to ignore, if they cannot unite, the warring factions of the country, return to the constitution of the republic so long in abeyance and set up a government at Mexico City which the great powers of the world can recognize and deal with, a government with whom the program of the revolution will be a business and not merely a platform. "I, therefore, publicly and very solemnly call upon the leaders of factions in Mexico to act, to act together and to act promptly for the relief and redemption of their prostrate country. I feel it to be my duty to tell them that, if they cannot accommodate their differences and unite for this great purpose within a very short time, this government will be constrained to decide what means should be employed by the United States in order to help Mexico save herself and serve her people. "Dated at White House, Washington, June 2, 1915." DARK HORSE FOR PRESIDENT President's Statement Sent to Villa, Carranza, Zanata, and Gaiza. Washington, June 3.—In his statement to the American people, President Wilson served notice on the factional leaders of Mexico that unless within "a very short time" they unite to set up a government which the world can recognize, the United States "will be constrained to decide what means should be employed by the United States in order to help Mexico save herself and serve her people." Signalizing a change from the "watchful waiting" policy, which has guided relations with Mexico for more than two years, the President's statement was regarded everywhere in official and diplomatic quarters as notice of a new and vigorous policy to restore peace below the Rio Grande. Everywhere it was interpreted as a warning that the patience of the United States is exhausted. What steps the President is prepared to take if this warning goes unheeded are not disclosed in the statement. In high official quarters, nevertheless, no doubt existed that he is prepared to proceed. That the United States will have to select Mexico's "man of iron" was the opinion expressed by the officials here most familiar with the situation south of the Rio Grande. Not only in official quarters, but among diplomats familiar with the ambitions of the men now in the saddle in Mexico, did this belief find utterance. They declared that under the words of the President himself, there is nothing left for him to do if the factions prove obdurate, but to select a man or men who will lead Mexico's millions into prosperous conditions. JUNE 10 NAMED COLORADO TOUR IST RECEPTION DAY. Governor Carlson Asks that United Ef fort Be Made to Put State Highways in Good Condition. Western Newspaper Union News Service Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—Governor Carlson has declared June 10 "Colorado's Tourist Reception Day" in order that a united effort may be made then to put the roads of the state in good condition for the benefit of this year's tourists. It is expected that upon that day a great amount of work will be done to make the traveling of visitors in Colorado as pleasant as possible. Labor then accomplished will do much to overcome the effect upon roads caused by the recent heavy rains. In reality the work will supplement the road improvement done on "Good Roads Day," since which time unusual rains have fallen. A letter in regard to "Colorado's Tourist Reception Day" was sent to the various boards of county commissioners by the governor. In addition, T. J. Ehrhart, state highway commissioner, is sending the following letter: Gentlemen:On the 16th of May Governor Carlson mailed to you a copy of a letter written to me, in which he very strongly advocates greater activity in connection with highway maintenance and repairs, and the particular importance, on account of the great amount of automobile tourist travel, that will come to us during this season. The governor has set apart the tenth day of June as what he is pleased to term "Colorado's Tourist Reception Day," for a united, organized effort to place all the roads in Colorado in good condition. I know that you are doing all in your power to get the roads in your county in good order, and appreciate the extraordinary weather conditions you have had to contend with but the importance of the condition of Colorado roads to the whole people this particular year cannot be overestimated. Therefore, I hope you will make an extraordinary organized effort on the above date to place all roads, especially the bad stretches in your county, in the pink of condition. The Good Roads Association, the chambers of commerce and the women of the state will join on this day in rendering every assistance possible to make Colorado's "Tourist Reception Day," a complete success. State Banks in Healthy Condition. Denver. — Reserves in the state banks of Colorado increased 2 per cent from March 4 to May 1. E. E. Drach, state bank commissioner, announces that reports made by the banks to him in response to a regular call for details of their condition show that on May 1 the average reserve was 29 1-5 per cent. The state law requires the banks to keep a reserve of only 20 per cent, except banks that act as reserves for other banks and their reserve must be at least 25 per cent. On May 1 the total resources of the state banks were $55,384,279.43. The total deposits were $45,006,506.19. The total reserve funds were $13,157,188.30. The figures do not include the funds of any national banks, as the state commissioner has no control over national institutions. The figures also do not include the resources and reserves of three new state banks which are now being organized under authority granted by the commissioner. The new banks will be located at Hugo, Peetz and Granada. Safety Deposit Box Yields Treasure. Denver.—Thousand dollar bills by the score, stacks of gold coin and packages of certificates of deposit, the equivalent of cash, were found by State Inheritance Tax Collector Leslie Hubbard when he examined the contents of a safety deposit box in a local trust company while invoicing the estate of George Fillbeck, pioneer Denver resident, who died last November. In caslf, currency and certificates of deposit the box contained $105,594.88. This, according to Collector Hubbard, is the largest amount of "real" money found in a similar manner since he has had charge of the department. The box contained $2,500 in gold, $60,000 in currency, mostly $1,000 bills, and the balance in certificates. The estate paid to Hubbard $8,560.96 in inheritance taxes. John Estate Brings State $5,664. Denver.—A tax of $5,664, one of the largest collected since the first of the year, has been paid to Leslie E. Hubbard, state inheritance tax appraiser on the estate of the late James M. John of Pueblo. 3.400 Delinguent in Income Taxes. Denver.—All income taxes, both personal and corporation, are due June 30, and failure to pay by that time makes one liable to a fine of 5 per cent of the amount of the tax, according to the internal revenue office. To date there are 2,300 corporations and 1,100 individuals delinquent in the Colorado district. Special taxes, such as liquor, tobacco, bankers, pool halls and theaters, were due on that date and failure to pay makes taxes liable to a fine of 50 per cent. Carpenter, Job and Repair Work.

Corporal White Camp No. 4, United Spanish War Veterans, consisting of twenty of our men who fought under the stars and stripes and who are the survivors of the above Camp in Denver, undertook to give their annual ball at the city Auditorium on the evening of Decoration Day, and be it said to their credit that they had a success that will never be forgotten by their patrons and them, while the organization lives in their memory. This being the first time that the privilege of the use of this building was given to colored residents of the city for a dance, there was an unusually large assembly which included a fair percentage of whites who were spectators and who unhesitatingly expressed themselves commendably upon the grand aspect presented by the trippers of the light fantastic. To use an old and well-placed phraseology, "Denver and his wife" were there, with representations from Colorado Springs, Cheyenne and Boulder, and it is our candid opinion that the management of this event can be justly proud of the perfect decorum and splendid showing that prevailed, which has established a precedent not easily effaced. Events of this nature help in more than an ordinary way to remove the unfortunate impressions that are sometimes created when expressions are indulged in, that our people can only act their best from compulsory or obligatory methods, and we can safely conclude from the respectability of the gathering and the refinement which was conspicuous in the lovers of the terpsichorean art that our people of Denver have placed themselves at par with any of the large cities of the country in up-to-date functions, etc. A word of special commendation must be given to Morrison's augmented orchestra of twelve pieces which discoursed delightfully to the enjoyment of the dancers and spectators, who evidenced their appreciation by their applause after each number. Now that Corporal White Camp No. 4 has set such a splendid pace, we hope to see them on the boards very soon, as there is every reason for a greater success by the hearty support they received from the best and most influential representative element of our citizens. OUR CORRECT POSITION. The Colorado Statesman wishes it to be clearly understood, being aware that our civic government is non-partisan, it is here to endorse every action engaged by the Commissioners who have been duly elected by the people for the good of the city and county of Denver. We have one political creed and faith which in principle far exceeds partisan politics, and that is to refrain from influencing the people in a community to disrupt, irrepair or create any obstructions to the progress of an administration brought into power by the votes of electors. In our present Commissioners we have men of different political creeds as far as the elements of State or National politics are concerned; but these men have resolved, and in obedience to the law taken the oath to abolish partisanship from their minds for the purpose of serving in a larger and more useful manner the needs of a people and the development of a city. Some men are slaves to conscientious actions and if we have such characters (as we believe) in our present officials, there can be no other results than a successful term from which can emanate nothing but lasting benefits to the people, irrespective of race or creed. We have the proof of this in the employment of our people in different positions by the Commissioners, chief of whom is Clair J. Pitcher, who retained those he found when he was elected to the position of Finance Commissioner, besides adding to his list; and this particular feature is lending quite an incentive to the other Commissioners to increase their staff with good, capable and deserving men and women of our race. Having had quite an experience with these men in following their success in their private business career, and the same individuals are entrusted with our city affairs, we fail to see into the righteousness of action in any agency, be it an individual, part of the people, news journal or anything else, in combining their efforts, offering advices and suggestions or compelling any portion of a community to institute drastic and unpleasant actions to frustrate the good that may be accomplished through or by legalized and constituted authority; and therefore in good faith we appeal to our well-thinking people as a whole to carefully weigh and consider matters of vital importance affecting them and not be eager or anxious to accept ideas which will not only mislead them, but possibly result in permanent detriment. Remember the policy of the Colorado Statesman, for its many years of existence is the only means that keeps it alive, and we strongly advise your adherence to the old adage—"Leave the nettle alone, it will not hurt you; touch it, you must bear the consequences."

Not Necessary to Carry Revolver By B. L. De GOLYER, Omaha, Neb. In the latter part of the eighties I went through the western country, west of Lincoln, Neb., along the coast from Sitka, Alaska, to the City of Mexico, and southwest in the Yaqun Indian country of Mexico. I have been in mushroom towns, government land openings, cow camps, mining towns, and have associated with and in some cases worked for "Bat" Masterson, Wyatt Erp, Roy Drake, "California Charlie," "Shoot Your Eye" Jack, "Soapy" Smith, "Bill" Tappen, "Missouri House" Kid, "Denver" Ed Smith and others too numerous to mention. All of these mentioned were "killers." But never in my experience did I find occasion for a gm. In 1887 I was a passenger on a Denver and Rio Grande railway train, when we became stalled just west of Chama, N. M., by a landslide. About ten o'clock p. m., when all were asleep, a bunch of train robbers stuck us up good and plenty. I was awakened by the one who made the collection, and saw a gun under my nose. It looked as big as a flour barrel. He got all I had. He also got thirteen guns from the other passengers. All I saw of the holdup was the collector and the man at the door with two guns. That is what any man can expect who "totes" a gun for his own protection. The holdup has got the drop on him before he knows it. What good is his gun then? Cut it out! It will only get you into trouble. Don't show your two bits in a strange place or to strangers. Keep your gun at home, if you must have one. Absolute Cleanliness In Handling Milk By M. G. Bernard, Washington, D. C. People used to think that cleanliness was mainly a matter of personal preference. Since the bacteriologists have shown that diseases as well as decay and loss of material are often caused by micro-organisms which are commonly harbored in filth and dirt, we have come to know that dirt is not only disagreeable, but is also dangerous, and that cleanliness is nowhere more necessary than in all that pertains to food. If perishable food materials are allowed to spoil by being exposed to dust or kept in warm, damp places, there will be danger from the growth of bacteria, besides the loss from waste. The importance of absolute cleanliness in handling milk is quite well known. If the same reasoning be applied to other food materials, it will be evident that the kitchen and pantry need to be taken care of as scrupulously as the dairy, and that the housekeeper ought to be as careful in cooking the food she serves as must those who handle milk. So much has been said about the danger of flies as carriers of diseases that it seems as if everyone must realize the importance of keeping them out of the house, especially out of that part of it where food is kept or eaten. Yet many families seem careless of this real danger, and thorough cleaning is often neglected. People are Never Too Old to Learn By Mrs. MARY COLLINS, Chicago Why criticize the perfectly grammatical expressions "you all" and "we all," when every day we hear the expression "you don't" and others which could be mentioned? There are provincialisms which are perfectly grammatical, as for example the expressions "you all" and "we all." These were parsed in my grammar when I attended school, and many years afterward I saw them parsed and diagrammed. While one may criticize them as unrhetorical because other forms would be more euphonious, one certainly is wrong in thinking them grammatically incorrect. What we see in print, in periodicals, magazines, copies of lectures, sermons, and so on, is quite likely to be correct. There are no such expressions as "you-uns" and "we-uns," but they, like the word "youse," which we hear every day, are used only by illiterate persons. The English language is derived mostly from Latin. It has very much the same syntax, and these same expressions are used frequently in Latin. If some old Roman were here he would probably use them, but with a little more emphasis than is usually placed on them. The correct speaking of English is a rare accomplishment, but English is not spoken indiscriminately by educated people. Anyway, we are never too old to learn. Adult Education Is Urgently Needed By Edward Morrill, St. Louis, Mo. I have no desire to find fault with our schools, but I do wish to point out a serious defect in our system of educating the young, not so much in the schools as in the homes. We carry on elaborate campaigns for "city betterment," for "temperance," for any number of things which should not be necessary if children were properly educated in the first place. I am not decrying these campaigns. Possibly they are necessary, but they are a serious reflection upon our training and our civilization. Children should be educated to know what is good for them when they grow up. They should be taught at home the lesson of temperance, of right living and of real thinking. Not all parents are fit to inculcate such lessons, but this means that the parents require education in the art of educating. Such education should be done quietly and earnestly, not in noisy campaigns nor through hysterical appeals. Some system of earnest adult education must be devised before most of the "social evils" can be corrected. Various Causes for Act of Sneezing By J. Payne Brandon, Philadelphia, Pa. There is more than one cause for sneezing, and persons may differ in their susceptibility to them. A bright light will cause some persons to sneeze, the pollen of certain plants will affect others, and most people are likely to sneeze in the presence of dust. Such sneezing is due to superficial irritation. The sneeze caused by the effect of cold is different. It is an attempt of nature to cure you. She makes you sneeze for the same reason that she makes you shiver—to generate heat for warming the blood and preventing you from taking more cold—to help relieve the cold you have. The sneezing from cold is not an act of the nose alone, this being merely the part of the body where it explodes. It is an act of the entire body during which every muscle gives a jump. The body is affected by a spasmodic effort to warm the entire system and throw off the cold. Not Necessary to Carry Revolver By B. L. De GOLYER, Omaha, Neb.

To The Public: Corporal White Camp No. 4 U. S. W. V. desires to thank the generous public who so loyally patronized them at their Annual Military Ball at the Auditorium, Monday, May 31st, 1915. We feel that our success was due largely to the fact that we endeavored to give the public something for their money. The Auditorium managers commend our people for their grand appearance and excellent conduct. We are also proud of our young Orchestra leader, Mr. Geo. Morrison, who made good in every way. We also wish to apologize for the failure of the flash-light pictures by saying that we made all arrangements with one Raymond J. Schwartz, photographer, but he failed to show and therefore we should not be held responsible for a man that has no business responsibility. Thos. Campbell, Commander, Wm. Robinson, Adjt. SCOTT M. E.

In spite of the rainy weather Zion enjoyed a splendid day last Sunday. The pastor's sermons at both morning and evening services were instructive and enjoyable. The offering for the day reached nearly $150.00, making a total for the month of May $552.08. Notwithstanding the hard times our people have been remarkably responsive, evidences of real sacrifice are being manifested through their loyalty to the church. The total offerings to the General Fund for the five months of the year 1915 amount to $1,350.00, including the building and Missionary Funds brings the total to above $1,800.00. This is certainly not a bad showing in these hard times. The State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs meets with us next week, consuming the days of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We give these good women a hearty welcome to our church, trusting that the meeting of the Federation will result in great good for both the community and the race.

Over Mountain and Plain A single telephone connected with no other is about the most useless thing in the world; but connect it with one other and both at once become serviceable. The more telephones connected together through an exchange, the more valuable is the service of each individual telephone. Likewise, the service of a telephone exchange having no connection with the exchanges of other communities is of very little value. To furnish service of the highest efficiency and greatest value every exchange must be connected by Long Distance lines with every other exchange, and every telephone with every other telephone. These Long Distance lines, in this western country, must necessarily traverse rugged mountains and desert plains—lines expensive to construct and costly to maintain. In the territory of this company, 82,916 miles of Long Distance lines connect our 367 exchanges and 237,000 telephones. That is what makes possible Universal Service. That is what makes YOUR service valuable. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co. The Western Baptist Association meets in Pueblo in the fourth week in June, 22nd-25th.

FREE CHECK ROOM PHONE MAIN 4730 DAY OR NIGHT Changing Homes and Hearts By HAROLD CARTER (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) "And so—I am going away, Juan-tta." The girl looked at him in a dim, uncomprehending way. During the six months that he had spent in New Mexico, at the hotel where she assisted her father, Ralph Brunton had come to mean everything to her. Her indolent father, having amassed a comfortable fortune as the landlord of the most prosperous hotel along the coach route, had had the means to educate his daughter at the convent at Santa Fe. Juanita had all the Spanish charm and grace; now, with the education and refinement got from the good sisters, she could have picked her choice of the wealthy suitors for her hand. But Ralph Brunton seemed utterly different from the rough ranchers and prospectors who stayed at the hotel, tried to flirt with her and went away. He had never attempted any liberties with her. In his presence, under his respect, her high spirits were subdued to a timid, wistful endeavor to win his regard. And she, too, had come to mean everything to him, though he dared not admit it to himself. Because— "I know why you are going," said Juanita. "There is some girl in the East, isn't there, Ralph?" He admitted it. He had not told her, but she had always guessed the eau grise Juanita Saw Him Riding Away in a Cloud of Dust. reason why he had never made love to her until three nights before. Then the realization of the impending separation had unstrung him. Perhaps it was also the influence of the peaceful night scene, the crisp air, the sparkling stars, the wind among the cactus. He had turned to her and suddenly she was in his arms and their lips together. And the two days that followed were heaven for both of them. But it was different from heaven, because—it ended. "I am going away, dear," said Ralph. She was too proud to try to detain him. "But, remember," she said, half crying, half jestingly, "The Miner's Rest' is always open to wayfarers." A pressure of the hand, and he was gone toward the coach stables. Afterward Juanita saw him riding away in a cloud of dust. She put her head down on her arms and cried. A year before Ralph had been sent west with lung trouble. He had been engaged to Mary Leeson; his father and hers were partners in a number of mining claims. Both men were millionaires. It was a natural thing that Ralph, fresh from college, should fall in love with Mary. He had gone the pace, too, in his last year. A cold, neglected, had spread to his lungs; the upshot was that he was given the alternative between death and New Mexico. He had made the sensible choice. He went with regret, because he was in love with Mary, and he dreaded the rivals who flocked about the wealthy heirs. "Marry me and come with me," he had urged. Mary declined. Cold-hearted, she was not going to bury herself in New Mexico with a man who might not live out the year. But she promised to be true to him. And her letters, gay and full of stories of the home life, had made him incredibly homesick—until he met Juanita. Now, riding homeward, he knew that Mary was only the pale shadow of his love; that Juanita had his heart and always would have it. He was going home because as a man of honor there was no other course. And he was going home cured. He had not heard from his fiancee for several weeks. And Ralph had dared to hope what he had once feared—that she, too, had learned that her heart lay in another's keeping. A week later he stepped off the platform of the Grand Central station in New York. As he rode in a taxi-cab toward the home of his flancee the solution of his problem came to him at last. Why should he make two lives unhappy if—if Mary did not care for him. He would be as frank with her as she had always been with him. He descended at the door. When he rang, the butler stared at him in amazement; the man remembered him, and had thought that he would never return. "I'll tell Mrs. Leeson, sir," he stammered. "Not Mrs. Leeson, but Miss Mary," explained Ralph. The butler did not seem to hear him. Ralph walked into the parlor and sat down. His heart was beating fast, and there was an undefinable sense of change. Ralph thought the butler had seemed less courteous than formerly. The furniture was covered, the room had not been dusted for some time. Ralph wondered—he was conscious of something which added to the pain of the approaching interview. When it was all over he must hurry home to his folks in Albany, stay awhile, tell them of Juanita . . . Mary stood before him. She had come in so quietly that Ralph had not heard her. There was a strange look in her eyes. She shrank away from him, staring hard. "I happened to be home," Ralph heard her saying. "But, Mary—Mary—" "You have not heard?" "Heard what?" "Sit down," she answered calmly. "I see you do not know. I am a poor woman, Ralph. My father was involved in the crash of the banks last month. I couldn't write—I didn't know what you would think—" The young man's heart sank, his hopes ebbed, vanished. He seemed plunged into an abyss from which there was no escape. He understood the coldness of her greeting now. She was prepared to release him. She thought he would not want to marry her when her father was a bankrupt. And that was what made his plans impossible. How could he ask her to release him now? The face of Juanita shone upon the background of his spiritual vision. "Mary, it doesn't make any difference," he heard himself saying. She was staring at him. "Any difference?" she echoed. "I mean—did you suppose that I would not want to marry you because you are poor?" She was still staring at him. She rose and put her hands upon his shoulders. "Ralph, you—you have met another girl you care for, haven't you?" she asked frankly. Why, the light of understanding in her eyes was amazingly sweet, Shametfacedly he nodded. "Ralph, I was married last week," she whispered "I know it was wicked, Ralph. But I—I loved him and I felt that you didn't love me and were too honorable to tell me so. You see, your letters had grown different. And I knew that we were not suited together. And as soon as—as father recovers from the blow we are going somewhere upon our honeymoon. Ralph caught her by the hands. "Mary!" he cried. "You are the wisest woman in the world, and the second dearest. And do you know where your honeymoon will be spent? In New Mexico, at 'The Miner's Rest.' It is always open to wayfaraers." Difficult to Please. They had been engaged only a few weeks, but a little coolness had arisen between them. "There is nothing that makes me so thoroughly angry," she cried, tears of rage in her blue eyes, "as to have anyone contradict me. I just simply hate to be contradicted." "Well," he said, in a conciliatory tone, "then I won't contradict you any more, Isabel." "I don't believe you love me," she asserted. "I don't," he admitted. "You are a perfectly hateful thing!" I know it, he replied. "You're trying to tease me, aren't you, Sam?" she queried. "You're not beaded." She was silent for a moment. Then she said: "Well, I certainly do despise a man who is weak enough to let a woman dictate to him. A man ought to have a mind of his own."—Harper's Magazine. Not Altogether Unconscious In one of the industrial towns in South Wales a workman met with a serious accident. The doctor was sent for, and came and examined him, had him bandaged and carried home on a stretcher, seemingly unconscious. After he was put to bed the doctor told his wife to give him sixpennyworth of brandy when he came to himself. After the doctor had left the wife told the daughter to run and fetch threepennyworth of brandy for her father. The old chap opened his eyes and said, in a loud voice, "Sixpennorth, the doctor said."—London Tit-Bits. Precocious, Job "Father," inquired the little brain-twister of the family, "when will our little baby brother be able to talk?" "Oh, when he's about three, Ethel." "Why can't he talk now, father?" "He is only a baby yet, Ethel. Babies can't talk." "Oh, yes, they can, father," insisted Ethel, "for Job could talk when he was a baby." "Job! What do you mean?" "Yes," said Ethel. "Nurse was telling us today that it says in the Bible: 'Job cursed the day he was born.'"—Stray Stories. COLORADO STATE NEWS Western Newspaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS5. June 9-11—G. A.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. Sterling, Colo.—Governor Carlson, in an address delivered in the tabernacle of Dr. Bulgin, the evangelist, here, defied the "home rule" forces of Denver, which, he intimated, were trying to bring about anarchy in Colorado by the overthrow of the state constitution and the control of Denver police and a judge. "The liquor interests have spent a lot of money in an effort to defeat and nullify the constitution of the state," he said. "Their own attorney admits that it would be illegal, but there are those who say they can control the police of Denver and they say they can control one district judge. "A part of their plan is, during the time of trial, to get a stay of judgment and to take advantage of the recall section in our constitution to nullify a part of the constitution "If those people want a fight," he exclaimed, referring to the backers of the "home rule" amendment passed in Denver, "and if it comes to a fight against anarchy and law violation, they will find that there are those in this state who are ready to enjoy that fight and see to it that the constitution of this state is supported." The governor was severe in his arraignment of those who seek to make the "home rule" amendment operative, but said that he desired to distinguish between the "good people of Denver and the influences which he condemned, so as to not to cast any reflection on the city as whole." "I am here to assure you," he said, "that in 1916, when the time comes for that law which you people put on the statute books, making Colorado a prohibition state to be enforced it will be enforced independently of those who voted for 'home rule' in Denver." Old Gilpin Mine Yields Pay Ore Central City.—A gold retort weighing 68 ounces, over $5½ pounds, and worth over $1,000, was deposited in one of the banks here a few days ago. The retort was the product of thirteen cords of mill ore from the 600-foot level of the Gllpin-Eureka mine of *this city, under lease to George Grbmaier and Company, who have opened up a fine crevice of both mill and smelting ore. Besides the gold, the mill dirt also made ten tons of concentrates, carrying values of at least one ounce gold to the ton. Hich Ore Strike in Nichols Shaft. Cripple Creek.—Walton and Crane, leasing on blocks 20 and 21, at the fifth level of the Nichols shaft, on the north end of the El Paso estate, report a rich strike. The lessees, who have been drifting on the Little Mav vein and making occasional shipments of $14 to $16 ore during the last six months, have entered a rich shoot and are saving ore from a three-foot vein that returns values by assay test of from six to seven ounces gold to the ton, outside of the rich core, which shows $137.40 to the ton, or 6.72 ounces gold. King Case Thrown Out of Court Steamboat Springs.—The case of Robert King, the Chicago artist who sued F. E. Milner, the Steamboat Springs banker, for $10,000 for alleged false imprisonment, has been thrown out of the District Court by Judge Shumate on a question of law. King has appealed to the State Supreme Court. King was in love with Milner's pretty young daughter Edith a year ago and tried to elope with her. Marshal Slashed by Drunken Mexican Boulder.—While attempting to arrest a drunken Mexican at Lafayette, Marshal Samuel Wood suffered a four-inch slash across the right cheek. The Mexican tried to cut Wood's throat. The wife of the Mexican asked that her husband be arrested because he was abusing her. The Mexican escaped. Kiowa County Official Shot. Towner.—County Commissioner N. C. Crites of Kiowa county was shot by T. J. Grow, who is believed to have become demented. Grow, who died after a battle with a posse, had been a charge of the county for some time. He was a bachelor about 50 years of age and lived the life of a recluse. Zancanelli Denied New Trial Trinidad.—A motion for a new trial for Louis Zancanelli, convicted in the District Court here, April 9, of the murder of Detective G. W. Belchier, Nov. 20, 1913, has been denied by Judge Granby Hillier of the District Court. Zancanelli was found guilty in the first degree with a recommendation for life imprisonment. Damage by Frost Light. Grand Junction.-Local Forecaster E. S. Nichols has investigated many orchards and states that in nearly every case he has found that the damage done by the frost was less than the ranchers had thought after the frost came. Gold Worth $1,279,144 Produced. Cripple Creek.-The production of the Cripple Creek district for May, as reported out from the several treatment plants, totaled 78,839 tons, with a gross bullion value of $1,279,144. WASHINGTON GOSSIP White House Gardeners Heave Sighs of Relief WASHINGTON.—Some of the gardeners connected with the propagating gardens, near the old bureau of engraving and printing building, have been heavying sighs of relief over the semiofficial news at the White House tween seasons with gardeners, when they plan to get ready for next year. This is particularly true of roses. Not knowing whether the president and the members of his family have intended to remain at the White House for a part of the summer, and unaware of whether a large quantity of cut flowers would be needed for the White House throughout the summer, the gardeners had not dared to take up their established plants. The White House depends very largely upon the propagating gardens for cut flowers, and when there was once a discussion of taking away from the Monument grounds the propagating greenhouses, near the bureau of engraving and printing, President Roosevelt put a stop to the plan for the time being by demanding to know: "Where am I going to get my roses?" Washingtonians who were frequent dinner guests at the White House in former administrations have always been grateful to Mrs. Roosevelt for doing away with the superfluity of flowers at formal dinners and other functions there. It was the custom, one woman was recalling the other day, to bank all the mantels, mural tables, and even the window niches and other spaces that could be filled in, with masses of cut flowers and tropical plants. Mrs. Roosevelt inaugurated a more simple style of table decoration and of having vases set here and there with graceful clusters in them. Postage Stamps Shown in the National Museum Postage Stamps Shown in the National Museum ONE of the finest museum collections of postage stamps in the world is owned by the United States government. The public is now, for the first time, given the privilege of viewing these stamps in tabulated and orderly ranged in alphabetical order, and where there are colonies or possessions they are displayed in alphabetical order directly after the mother country in geographical sequence. This collection is by no means complete; even from the United States issues a few of the stamps are missing. But even so, the history of the growth of the United States post office is practically reviewed as one examines the collection. The oldest specimens are those of the city issues of 1845—the first postmasters provisionals in this country. These were issued five years after the birth of stamps in Great Britain. The dates bring the fact startlingly to mind that postage stamps have only been in use a little more than fifty years. The first government issues came out in 1847. One of the gems of the collection is the display of 30-cent stamps of 1869 with inverted medallions. The 30-cent stamp is the rarest square of paper in the entire collection and is worth $1,500.

It is because of these sinister traits that Doctor Fox of the health service has found it advisable to make fleas a life work. A person who knows just what line of germs a given flea carries in stock is naturally able to tell just how far one should go in shunning the society of that particular flea. The whole proposition is simply a matter of daily routine with Fox. He has little if any more regard for the average flea, personally, than you or I have. He is a serious-minded scientist. Now, being a serious minded scientist, Fox is not given to cracking jokes —particularly not about fleas. Yet, a while ago when Fox made the acquaintance of an entirely new genus of fleas, he gave the genus a name that is not untinged with a certain suggestion of humor. The flea was discovered in the dark interior of Africa. Fox has named it the Rooseveltiella! Somebody asked him how he happened to pick the name of Rooseveltiella for the new brand of flea. "Well." Fox replied, in substance, "Theodore Roosevelt did a lot of valuable work in the same locality where the flea was discovered and it seemed rather fitting that it should be named after him." Moving Picture Machines Bought for the Army THE war department, through the office of Quartermaster General Aleshire, has let a contract for 66 moving picture machines for the use of the army.

A flea is not always the romping, carefree individual he appears to be. Many fleas are temperamentally wicked—a great deal more wicked than an elephant for example, even though considerably smaller than an elephant in stature. A flea will move into a community that has never given it the slightest motive for revenge and begin to plot against it, spreading disease by means of germs that it carries about on its person—germs even smaller than itself.

If an army or navy officer walked up Broad- Way in uniform, not one in a hundred | ot the passers-by in Gotham would know whether he was a taxi-cab starteror a head bellman.” But ‘way off in the territory of Hawaii the army is no abstraction, it looms large. On Oahu, the island on which Hono- lulu 4s situated, more soldiers are sta- tioned than are regularly located in any army post either in “The States” or in the Philippines. ‘The 8,000 men there assembled are divided among six main posts; there are three regi- ments of infantry, one of cavalry, one of field artillery, eight companies of coast artillery, eight companies of en- gineers, and a field company of the sig- nal corps. The names of the posts are as follows: Fort Ruger, Fort de Russy, Fort Armstrong, Fort Kameha- meha, Fort Shafter, and Schofield bar- racks. Fort Kamehameha guards the naval base at Pearl harbor, stands sentinel down by the sea. Beyond and upon the tablelands, once a wide ranch country, stands Schofield barracks, where all arms of the service are rep- resented. At an elevation of a thou- sand feet above sea level, with a plain spreading out from the Waianae range to the Koolau mountains, there is af- forded a healthful home for the troops as well as a splendid practice and re- view ground. The barracks are over twenty miles from Honolulu, but as a railway crosses Leilehua plain, the ‘soldiers can easily get in to the mo- vies” and the other delights of town. It is a splendid location from the standpoint of health. The climate is cooler than in Honoluly, the air is much more invigorating. And the scenery is superb. Fort Ruger is considered one of the most interesting fortifications in the world. Diamond Head, the jutting headland that stands out so plainly to the eager voyager approaching Hon- olulu, is the center about which the fort clusters. Diamond Head is called an extinct crater, but since the “mil- ingtary” put its seal on it, it has been roused to a new activity. Here is lo- cated a powerful mortar battery, and high on the headland a range station has been carved out of the solid rock. The gray old height has been bored into, and one reaches the inside of the bowl now by means of tunnel, steps and ladder. Only American citt- zens, however, are given this priy- lege. Townward from Ruger is stationed Fort de Russy, with two big gun bat- terles. Then comes Fort Armstrong, which guards the entrance to Hono: lulu harbor. This fort has a mine-con- trol station and a small gan battery. Beyond, quite at the other end of town from the Diamond Head fortifi. cation, is located Fort Shafter, with an imposing array of permanent build: ings and some motley temporary strue- tures, Here is the department hos. pital, and here are stationed one in- fantry regiment, the engineer and eig. nal troops. The pay roll for ‘the troops ex. ceeds $200,000 a month. Add to this the sums spent on military works, and one can easily see that to Hawail the army stands for a good deal in “addition to protection, it means ready money and steady money. Honolulu has a population of less than 60,000 souls, and the soldier boys, ever in uniform, fill a proportionally large place in the life of this pictur. esque port. The open trolleys are filled and fringed with them, they haunt the bathing beaches, they are interested visitors and generous buy- ers at the curio shops, the kodak shops are their hunting grounds, and not a few are seen chaffing and bartering with the “lel” folk, the wreath mak. ers and flower sellers. One of the features of Hawaii is the lei, a wreath of flowers or greenery worn on the hat or around the shoul SINGS WHEN HE IS SAVED Tramp, Who Tried Suicide, Bursts In- to Song on Operating Table.

The lei makers, men and wom- en, young and old, seated on mats on a shady sidewalk deftly string their leis and as deftly dispose of their fra- grant wares. «The enlisted men of army and navy take to the Hawaiian lel as a duck to water; it adds not a little to the gayety of the passing show that so many manly heads are crowned with carnation wreaths, so many tall lads in khaki are not ashamed of the picturesque Hawafian custom. When a transport is in and the visiting soldiers are seeing the town, then the lei sellers reap a rich harvest, then the streets of Honolulu are very much alive, ‘business is as brisk as the trade wind that blows down from the mountains. As to the effect on island life of the presence of the army, it goes without saying that there are good and bad consequences. In the interest of “keeping things up” it is a pretty good thing to have such a lot of peo- ple about whose white clothes are 80 very white, whose shoes are so shiny, whose apparel and accoutre- ments are so well brushed and well put on. It is good for beholder and beheld, there is a moral value to it as well as to the soldierly posture of chest up, chin in. Taken as a whole, taking into consideration this huge body of familyless men, the soldiers impress the Honolulu folk as remark: ably well behaved. Rudeness to women on street cars or street is seldom noticed; on the other hand, the men in khaki display old ‘school courtesy in public that it is heartening to find surviving. And courage as well as courtesy has come to the fore in the army's residence in Hawait. Lifesaving at the beach again and egain, {s the record; quick and *herofe action in times of emer- gency. And daring rescue work in the mountains, is to the credit of the soldier in those mountainous islands out there at the crossroads of the Pa- cific, Does the army like Hawaii? Yes, and no. Would ever 8,000 people be unanimous in approval of anything? Officer and officer’s wife with experi- ence of the heat and lassitude of the Philippines, vote Hawaii delightful, wish their term of service there might be lengthened. Enlisted men fresh from inland, midland regions are eager and enthusiastic at first. Tirelessly they tramp the narrow streets of the oriental quarter, peer into the little shops with frank curiosity; with frank curiosity stare at kimonoed Japanese and trousered Chinese maidens, enjoy trying to make acquaintance with the doll-like Oriental babies that overrun the sidewalks, with relish attack the Hawallan mango, with somewhat less relish the Hawaiian pot and salmon. ‘They throng the beaches, sport in the water themselves or seated on shore watch the natives after sea-moss, squid or shrimps. But in course of time the novelty wears off, they vote monotonous the constant sunlight, the myriad flowers, the good old sum: mertime that never changes to the remembered frost and snap of their northern homes.

They are sure to get you.and take you away from mill village or pineapple field, from the wife and baby that you have attained in your role as civilian. And if you try escape by water, pur- suit is even quicker. For today there is that lightning nemesis, wireless, that will get you before you can reach the next port. On a recent trip of the steamer “Matsonia” from Honolulu, Just twenty-four hours out, a message came to the captain to look for two deserters that were known to be hid- den somewhere on board. Search should be made for them at once, and if found they were to be transferred to the returning “Wilhelmina.” Ofi- cers, stewards, everybody in the ship's employ went on the hunt. Before long both men were found and were put into the “jail.” But one, a man of years of experience, a deserter from the United States army, got away: and secured in the ship's dark corners a hiding place that was not ferreted out \for days. Meanwhile the “Wilhel- mina” was signaled; it halted, the two ships lay rocking there in the moonlight in mid-ocean while the row: boat carrying the lone stowaway bobbed over the waves and the lone stowaway was put aboard the vessel headed for the port of missing men During this dramatic, flash-lighted in cident, where was the United State: deserter?

Western Newspaper Union News Service Washington, June 3.—Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador to the United States, is preparing a re- port to his government that probably will give Berlin its first true impres- sion of the determination of the Unit- ed States to insist upon its demand that the attacks of submarines on un- armed passenger ships in violation of international law cease at once, The «ambassador conferred with President Wilson in the blue room of the white house and as the talk was stripped of the necessity of diplomatic language, the President, it is under- stood, was able to make plain to the German envoy that the American gov- ernment has not the slightest inten- tion of bving sidetracked from the consideration of its demands, made “in the name of all humanity” May 13. President Wilson emphasized, in his talk with Count von Bernstorff, the Antense feeling of th American people over the sinking of the Lusitania and other violations of American rights on the high seas, and impressed upon him that the United States must insist on an adherence by Germany to the ac- cepted principles of international law, as they affect neutrals. No announcements were made after the conference, which had been ar- ranged at the ambassador's request, but it was stated authoritatively that there would be no change in the plan of the President and his Cabinet to send, in response to the German reply td the last American note, an inquiry to ascertain definitely whether the im- perial government will abide by inter- national law, or follow its own rules of maritime warfare, Count von Bernstorff believed the report which he prepared for trans- mission to Berlin would enlighten the German foreign office on the true state of the American government's opinion and pave the way to a better understanding.

Defiant Redskins Leaving Reservation to Seize State Land. Glenwood Springs, Colo.—Claiming that they own the land by treaties with the federal government and that they are going to stand by them to the last ditch, 75 defiant braves of old Chief Ouray’s tribe of Utes have come from the reservation in Utah, and camped at the junction of Douglas creek and White river, an out-of-the-way section of Rio Blanco county. Fears that the Indians will obtain liquor have caused Congressman Ed- ward T. Taylor, who came here, to take vigorous measures to have the Utes forced back to the reservation. In their present mood whisky, he fears, will inflame them to the point of shedding blood to maintain what they claim are their rights. ‘Two hundred more Utes, the 75 say, are on their way; and word from Utah says that 400 more Indians are leay- ing the reservation expressing com- plete contempt of all attempts to quiet them and force them to remain on the reservation. meeinane Kil Sie Americana) Houston, Texas.—An American na- yal officer named Green, from the United States cruiser Sacramento, was fired on by Villa soldiers and nar- rowly escaped death while investigat ing the death of two Americans near the Panuco oil fields, according to Capt.

Cain The dignified and picturesque costume of black taffeta and chantilly lace, worn with a poke bonnet shape of lisenet braid, was designed for an older woman than the model on which it is pictured. But the design is one of those that appeal to the matron of elegant and reserved taste even if youth still smiles from her eyes. A wide chantilly race veils the underskirt in three scant flouces, the luster of taffeta proving the best of backgrounds for the fine net and intricate pattern in the lace. A short panel of the silk at the front and back of the bodice is extended into a crushed girdle about the figure, fastening at the right side under flat buttons of cut jet. But the details of this particular combination are not so important as the suggestion it carries for the use of lace and taffeta in combination for black gowns. There are many good styles which may be Coiffures for Y There is a number of pretty and simple styles in coiffures that are to be recommended to youthful wearers, and to everyone else to whom the plainer arrangements of the hair are becoming. The hair in nearly all of them is unwaved, but if it have a natural ripple so much the better for the coiffure. Most demure, and a favorite with artists, the coiffure in which the single parting divides the hair over the middle of the forehead is among the revivals that have come along with wide skirts and poke bonnets. In this coifure the ears are covered and the back hair arranged low and close to the head. This is modified, when the hair is straight, by pinning it in waves or undulations about the face, with small invisible wire pins, and wearing a plain band of velvet ribbon about the head to help keep the hair in place. Sometimes the back hair is arranged in a small "chignon" at the base of the crown. Rather boyish-looking is a hairdress in which the hair is combed straight back about the forehead and bound --- followed with splendid results in making up equally smart and dignified and dressy costumes. Just the headwear for such a gown has been chosen here. The bonnet of black straw is faced with pale pink crepe georgette and trimmed with a ruche malines with sash and hanging ends of broad black velvet ribbon. Half-blown garden roses, in natural pink shadings, glow vividly against the rich black of the velvet girdle, and the airy tulle gives the requisite lightness. Two roses are tied with a spray of their foliage into the streamers at the back of the bonnet, one near the waist line and one not far from the brim edge at the back. Something of olden times is expressed in the poke bonnet, something of the heart of summer and gentle ladyhood in the fine lace and the garden roses. Youthful Faces down with a band of velvet. It is loosened by pulling it forward a little until it stands up in a small pompadour over the forehead. At the sides it is pulled forward and pinned in a loop over the ears. The ends at the back are tucked under a small French twist. One of the prettiest of these simple colifures is shown in the picture given here. The hair is not wavy, but is abundant. It is parted at the right side and pinned into waves about the face and over the ears. A lock is brought down in a dip over the forehead, and the ends are arranged in three short puffs across the back. Many of these pretty arrangements must be held in place by a hair net, and never was there a greater help to this end than the plain band of velvet which is just now so much in vogue.
