PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY METHODIST IN JOINT MEETING METHOD IN MI Cincinnati, O., July 6.—The joint meeting in Cincinnati, O., June 30, of the Commission of Colored Methodists representing the Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion and the Colored Methodist Episcopal churches, was an historical occasion. The session was held in the Wiley Chapel of the Metnodist Book Concern. All arrangements to the minutest detail had been made by Dr. I. Garland Penn, one of the corresponding secretaries of the Freedmen's Aid Society and secretary of the Commission for the Methodist Episcopal Church. Another conspicuous fact was that every commissioner was present from each church save two, and they sent alternates so that there were present thirty-six members and twelve laymen. COMMISSIONIONS MET SEPARATELY COMMISSIONIONS MET SEPARATELY. The commissions of each church had a meeting of their own on Tuesday, June 29, at which they prepared in writing their declaration of pleadings for the joint session. The joint session was called to order at 10 a.m. by Bishop Theodore S. Henderson of Chattanooga, Tenn. He was succeeded in the presidency by Bishops A. Walters of the Zion Commission, B.F Lee of the Bethel and C.H. Phillips of the Colored Methodist Church. The Joint Session began the deliberation by hearing the report of the committee of three, Drs. R. E. Jones, J. P. Wragg and I. Garland Penn, representing the Methodist Episcopal Commission. The report was made through its secretary, I. Garland Penn, after which a Committee on Plan of Procedure was appointed, consisting of three commissioners from each commission. The plan of procedure reported through John R. Hawkins put the body to work in earnest. There were three sessions during the day. At the closing session the Declaration of Agreement representing the unanimous action of the participating bodies, was presented in sections by chairmen and secretaries of committees as follows: On Co-operation—Bishop Theodore S. Henderson, chairman; the Rev. J. S. Jackson, secretary. On Federation—Bishop W P. Thirkield, chairman; the Rev. J. S. Jackson, secretary. On Organic Union—Bishop Geo' W. Clinton, chairman; I. Garland Penn, secretary. THE DECLARATION OF AGREEMENT The following pleadings to Methodist in general and Negro Methodists in particular represent the basis of co-operation, federation and unity which it is hoped and believed every Methodist in the world will agree upon. The Declaration is as follows: "Without the slightest censuring the fathers we recognize that there is a waste of money, men, opportunity and influence in our present divided form. A United Methodism would be formidable against our greatest modern social evil, the open saloon. A United Methodism would elicit a triumphant approval of Him who agonizes and prays to day that they all may be one. "Co-operation—That the churches here represented require as far as practicable the same standard in the course of study for the ministry. That we approve the effort on the part of the several secretaries of education, representing the various church boards to standardize the curriculum of schools and colleges under their supervision. "That we approve the holding of inter-Methodist preachers' institutes and Christian workers' assemblies. In view of the widespread movement for increased efficiency in all our churches on evangelism, on improved methods in finance, on a deepening conviction responsibility for world wide evangelization and on the necessity for increased power in the Christian church as a community and kingdom force that we arrange in 25 city centers, more or less, under the joint leadership of the churches represented in this meeting, for a two or three days' efficiency convention, where there will be presented ways and means for increased efficiency in the work of evangelization, education, home and foreign missions and other items in an enlarged church efficiency, these conventions to be held in succession as far as possible, and a committee of the joint meeting, consisting of four representatives of each commission and a local committee consisting of representatives of each of the cooperating churches. As the clock struck twelve midnight, June 30, the most epochal DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JULY 17, 1915. State Hist & Nat Hist Soo Bins House ANTS WHO A ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO SAT meeting ever held by Negro Methodist closed with a prayer with the able and venerable Bishop B F. Lee in the chair, who called upon Dr. Robert E. Jones to invoke divine endorsement upon the findings of the day. The authorities of the Book Concern were most cordial in their treatment of the delegations and most complimentary in their expressions as to the able delegation present. THE NEGRO EXPOSITION (From Indianapolis News) The exposition to commemorate fifty years' achievements of the free Negro, which is being held at Richmond, Va., and will continue until July 20, is, because of the place selected for holding the exposition, of particular interest to the Negroes of the South. But it is something more than an event of local importance, for as a national celebration it is of interest to all Negroes and to all interested in the progress of the Negro race. President Wilson has issued a proclamation in which he says: "As President of the United States, I bespeak the active interest of the nation in the exposition work has made the undertaking possible" Congress has appropriated $55,000 "to aid in the promotion and consumption" of the exposition, thus giving to the event a significance which, under private auspices, it might have difficulty in commanding. Few are the Negroes who can draw, from personal experience, comprehensive picture of the progress of the race since it was released from bondage. Since slavery days two generations have been born in freedom, and have accepted freedom as a normal state and nothing to wonder at. To them the statement that in 1860 not more than one Negro in a hundred possessed himself means nothing, for no Negro who did actually live under slavery can realize that such an institution under slavery can realize that such an institution actually existed in a country founded on the principle that freedom is a right and not a privilege. To these new generations this exposition should mean a great deal. It should fix in their minds a vision of the progress of the race which no amount of imagining could give them, and it should inspire them with a desire to hand down to their children the traditions of slavery in order that they and succeeding generations may appreciate the blessings of liberty. The most encouraging thing about the progress of the Negro during the last fifty years is the fact that his progress is marked by a wholesome and steady growth, with no tendency toward a lapse into the state of bewilderment which characterized the business, agricultural and commercial activities of the race immediately after the war. Between 1900 and 1915, for instance, farm property owned by Negroes has increased 177 per cent in value—from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. The Negro Business League has recently published some statistics which show that since 1900 the number of Negro business enterprises in this country has increased from 20,000 to 45,000; the number of Negro banks from 2 to 51; the number of drug stores, from 10,000 to 25,000. These figures show that education and a more comprehensive knowledge of the possibilities of freedom are helping the Negro to do for himself that which no one can do for him. And it is altogether fitting that leaders of the race should agree that it is time to bring to public attention the achievements of the race. STANLEY HOTEL FLASHES AND SPARKS. Billy Stew (not of the Oyster Club) but chief representative of the Not Me Order of Denver Boosters, made a flying trip to see the boys at the hotel on Friday and after spending a few delightful days left on Tuesday.

Lement British Judges It is a noteworthy fact that during his 50 years' practice at the English bar, Sir Edward Clarke was never instrumental in securing a death penalty, unless an argument against a prisoner before the privy council on a colonial appeal be so described. Even more remarkable, perhaps, is the record of two Irish judges, Baron Fitzgerald, who was on the bench for 20 years and never once pronounced a capital sentence, and Lord Morris, who sat for 22 years and never hanged a criminal. RACE NEWS Boston, Mass., July 8.—A nation-wide movement is under way to carry to Boston the largest assemblage of successful Negro business men and women ever brought together in this country to celebrate the Fifteenth Anniversary of the founding of the National Negro Business League.

After they had gotten seated in the "Jim Crow" coach the Pullman conductor came back and offered to redeem their tickets. They refused, however, and will most likely bring suit against the road. BILLY KERSANDS DEAD The original and only Billy Kersands, the colored ministrel, died at Artesia, N. M., June 30, of heart failure. He was seventy-three years old, but still in the game. He was giving two performances in Artesia with the Nigro & Stev Omaha, Neb., July 8. — The first issue of the Monitor, a newspaper edited by Rev. John Albert Williams and devoted to the interests of the colored people of Omaha, came out last Saturday. It is an unusually neatly prepared publication and is filled with excellent reading matter. Mr. Williams is assisted in his work as editor by Lucille Skaggs Edwards, William Garnett Haynes and Ellsworth W. Pryor, each of whom conducts a department in the paper. In his salutatory Editor Williams says: "The Monitor hopes to fill an honorable and useful place in its chosen field in this community, full of splendid opportunities. It will strive to gather news of interest, local and general. Its editorial policy will be independent, frank fearless, courteous and kind, sane and conservative. We shall strive to make it a paper of such a high standard that it can be read with pleasure and profit in any home in the land." Asheville, N. C., July 6.—Bishop George W. Clinton of the A. M. E. Zion Church, and the Rev. George C. Clements, editor of the Star of Zion, Charlotte, N. C., were pulled from a Pullman sleeper by "tar heel" whites Monday night, June 28, and made to occupy seats in a "Jim Crow" coach. It appears that someone, presumably an employee of the Southern Railroad, on which they were passengers, tipped the whites riding in the day coach that two colored men were occupying a sleeper. They made their way to the sleeper and told the two divines to vacate, adding that a sleeper was "no place for niggers." The two men demurred at first, but they were roughly ordered to vacate. None of the train employees interfered, and they had to occupy the "Jim Crow" coach during the night. The divines were on their way to Cincinnati to attend the meeting of the representatives of Methodist bodies. After they had gotten seated in the "Jim Crow" coach the Pullman conductor came back and offered to redeem their tickets. They refused, however, and will most likely bring suit against the road. BILLY KERSANDS DEAD The original and only Billy Kersands, the colored ministrel, died at Artesia, N. M., June 30, of heart failure. He was seventy-three years old, but still in the game. He was giving two performances in Artesia with the Nigro & Stevenson shows when his demise came almost immediately after the second show. Billy Kersands had been on the American stage for nearly fifty years. He was born at Baton Rouge, La., but when very young he went to New York and engaged in the boot black trade. His first venture in the show business was in the year of 1870, when he started with Calendar's Georgia Ministrels as inside end man and baggage boy. He worked his way up and was soon one of the stars of the company. He traveled with this company for many years, and whenJack Haverly took the company over he traveled with them to Europe. This was the company managed by the late Chas. Frohman. The company played to all the crowned heads of the old country, and Billy was presented with a diamond stud by Queen Victoria. At this time Billy was making $250 a week, and it was the beginning of his ultimate success. He then organized a company of his own with Charles Hicks as partner. This run along for several years, when the company was disbanded. Kersands then joined the Richards and Pringle Ministrels under the management of Rusco & Holland. After a few years with Richards & Pringle Billy again put out another company, and again toured the Orient. On their return to the Occident, Mr. and Mrs. Kersands joined with the Nigro & Steveson Shows, where they had their own show. Every member of the Nigro & Stevenson Shows was present at the death bed of the old veteran, and they all offered their services and sympathies to Mrs. Kersands at her darkest hour. Mr. Nigro says of the venerable old minstrel: "There never was a man in the colored profession more honored and respected than Billy Kersands. The order was given by the manager to close all shows the night after his death." The remains were shipped to Chattanooga for interment.—The Freeman.

COLORADO MINES BUSY NO INCREASE IN OUTPUT EXCEPT FOR GOLD. Average Prices for Lead, Copper and Zinc Add Materially to Total Value of Output. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Leadville, Colo.—The output of Colorado mines during the first six months of 1915, according to Charles W. Henderson, of the United States Geological Survey, will show no increase in actual metal contents, except for gold. The increase in average prices for lead, copper, and zinc, based on the normal production, will, however, add greatly to the total value of the output, and the undoubted activity in mining promises at least the normal production of metals for the year 1915, which at the exceedingly high average prices at this stage of the year, promises a greatly enhanced total production. Colorado, in the last five years— 1910-1915—has averaged $19,225,500 in output of gold (dropping from $20, 507,058 in 1908 to $18,146,916 in 1911, but increasing in 1914 to $19,883,105); silver has averaged 8,400,000 ounces; copper, 7,000,000 pounds; lead, 76,600, 000 pounds, and zinc, 104,000,000 pounds, reaching its height in 1912, with 132,222,812 pounds, but dropping to 96,774,960 pounds in 1914. The total value for the five metals has averaged $34,480,000, when silver ranged from $0.53 to $0.615, copper from $0.125 to $0.165, lead from $0.039 to $0.045, and zinc (spelter) from $0.051 to $0.069. Cripple Creek annually produces 60 per cent, of the State yield of gold, and in the first six months of 1915 has proportionately exceeded the production of $11,996,116 for the twelve months of 1914. The San Juan region has produced normally on a basis of $4,000,000 per year, and Leadville probably has exceeded its normal gold production because of shipments of silliceous gold ores from Breece Hill mines, while the Clear Creek-Gilpin region has produced slightly in excess of the normal production. The Summit Coupy dredges have maintained a production of about $300,000 for the half year. Little change has been made in the yield of silver. Copper is mainly a by-product in Colorado, but heavily increased shipments of copper ore from Rico for the six months show an increase of about 300,000 pounds of copper during that time. Lead production will increase somewhat, due to an increase in yield of zinc concentrates from the concentration of lead-zinc ores at Red Cliff and Breckenridge. Zinc ores from Colorado, during the first six months of 1915 have shown a small increase in tonnage, but a decrease of 2 or 3 per cent. in grade. Lawson Is Given Life Term. Trinidad.—John R.

Denver, Colorado We Make Old Hats. New AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Booker T. Washington, to whom both races in America are indebted for an activity in public affairs altogether helpful to both, is on one of his tours delivering addresses on subjects in which his race is very much interested. Speaking to large meetings of his own people in New York and Brooklyn the other day, he said: "If you expect to hold your own in the keen competition of the North when the war in Europe is over and immigrants come in again by the hundreds of thousands and millions, you have got to take advantage of every opportunity for better training offered by the public school system, and by such organizations as the Urban League, the Young Men's Christian association and the Young Woman's Christian association." This advice is all gold, and every colored man and woman in the North should follow it. Everything indicates heavy immigration from Europe at the close of the war; and it will be composed of the poorer classes—unskilled laborers escaping the impoverishment that has fallen on their old homes. America will invite more strongly than ever. The colored man in the North is as a rule an unskilled laborer, and restricted even in that field. Not many avenues, of employment are open to him. As competition grows, therefore, he must meet it by greater industry and higher competency, or go to the wall. The colored man in the South will not feel this pressure. The tide of this new immigration will not set in that direction. Where he is a field hand, conditions for him will remain about as they have been. Where he is an unskilled laborer, in town or city, competition will not be much greater than before. But, North and South, the colored man should bestir himself. The new times coming will mean much to him. He is in the land of opportunity. The great majority of the white people sympathize with every worthy effort he makes to better himself as man and citizen. They view with approval and satisfaction the progress he has made in his half century of freedom, and they will help him further along the road as often as he merits their assistance. Professor Washington's constant adjuration to his people is to live good lives, acquire property, cultivate the friendship of their white neighbors, and identify themselves as far as may be with things of the best report where they reside. The criminal, the drone, the shiftless, the incompetent are a reproach to their race, and a drag on the community. And in the whirl and bustle of business expected to follow the close of the war now raging, the unworthy of either race in this country will be more unworthy, because more in the way, than ever. Constitutionality of the Louisville segregation ordinance, designed to prevent whites or Negroes occupying for a home or as a place of public assemblage a building located in a.block, a majority of the residents of which are of the other race, was upheld in a decision by the Kentucky court of appeals. The ordinance was passed by the Louisville common council in May, 1914. A novel English slot machine prints the fact that postage has been paid upon letters instead of affixing stamps. To live to the advanced age of one hundred and five years and to be acquitted of two serious charges is the interesting experience of Lemon Shaw, who lives at Garner, N. C. Lemon is an active old Negro. He lives in a small house which he built for himself a few years ago. His two sons fought in the Civil war and well remember those stirring times. Five years ago Lemon was tried for the murder of a friend, David Hall, but was acquitted. He was again brought before the judge for trial when he was arrested for selling liquor unlawfully. Several witnesses were brought to testify against him, but none of them were able to swear that he was guilty. He was again acquitted and went home. His constant companion is a cat which he loves dearly, and his old time musket. He makes his living weaving baskets and is quite an expert at that trade. A rich deposit of gold has been discovered on the Binabai river in the Province of Mindoro, Philippine islands. The deposit is said to be extensive and the nuggets of unusually fine quality. From the Christian era till the present time, as statistis and historians tell us, there have been less than 240 warless years. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century it was roughly computed that nearly 7,000,000,000 men had died in battle since the beginning of recorded history, a number equal to almost five times the present estimated population of the globe. By telling it something everybody already knows an orator can nearly always inspire his audience with enthusiasm. At the diocesan convention in Sewickley, Pa., two years ago, a considerable sum of money was raised for the enlargement of work among colored people in Pittsburgh, to which additional gifts have since been added, bringing the aggregate amount up to about $14,000. At that time the only church for them was St. Augustine's mission, situated in a rather inadequate building on the North side, whereas the bulk of the colored people live in what is known as the "Hill Section" of the city. Much delay was occasioned in getting the work started by search for an eligible location, and troublesome litigation concerning a title. A hall was rented about six months ago, and a Sunday school and afternoon service started, so that there is now a flourishing Sunday school and a good congregation. During the last few weeks St. Paul's Memorial church, built in the Hill district, several years ago before the colored element was so numerous in the neighborhood, has been purchased from that congregation by the board of trustees for the diocese, for the use of the new colored congregation, for the sum of $12,500. St. Paul's will probably now locate on Herron's Hill, where our church is not as yet represented. The new mission has been called St. Phillip's, and is under the charge of Rev. Scott Wood, D. D., formerly priest in charge of St. Augustine's, North side. The latter will be cared for by the Laymen's Missionary league until such time as a suitable clergyman can be secured. The first service was held in the church on Sunday evening, June 13, when Archdeacon Bigham, chaplain of the Laymen's league, preached. Superintendent Hance of St. Barnabas' home made a few congratulatory remarks, and the bishop confirmed a class of thirty-two, the first fruits of the mission. The church is a substantial edifice of brick.—The Standard. Developed Negro music has just been begun in America, writes Will Marion Cook in the New York Evening Post. The Afro-American is finding himself. He has thrown aside puerile imitation of the white man. He has learned that a thorough study of the masters gives knowledge of "that is good and how to create. From the Russian he has learned to get his inspiration from within that his inexhaustible wealth of folk-lore legends and songs furnish him with material for compositions that will establish a great school of music and enrich musical literature. The Afro-American wants results quickly. He does not believe in making haste slowly. He quickly turns to false white and colored friends who wish to exploit him from ulterior motives. . . . Dvorak, Safonoff, Campanini and other great European directors and composers; DePachmann, D'Albert, Paderewski, as well as many great singers, have told of the coming glory of the Negro musician. It is becoming a fad. In some of the large cities of the country, New York in particular, well-meaning, but ill-advised white people are gathering together poorly trained singers, without education either musical or general, and in conjunction with unschooled instrumentalities, are giving widely advertised concerts, claiming to represent the accomplishment of an entire race. They promise much, fulfill little. Henrietta Hicks, one hundred and three years old, a Negress, believed to be the oldest person in St. Clair county, was taken to the county farm at Belleville, where she will spend the remainder of her life. She is only four feet tall. She was born in Africa in 1812, but when a girl was brought to this country as a slave. Although freed by the Civil war, she remained on a Tennessee plantation until 20 years ago, when she went to East St. Louis, where she had her home with a son. But as he now is seventy-five years old, he is becoming too old to work toward the support of anyone beside himself, and for that reason his mother was placed in the care of the county. Mrs. Hicks is suffering from partial blindness, but is otherwise in perfect health. She has an excellent memory and is able to recount many stories of battles of the Civil war.—St. Louis Republic. The doll is one of the oldest of toys. Examples have been found in the graves of the children of ancient Rome. Wives are still obtained by purchase in some parts of Russia. In the district of Kamyshin, on the Volga, this is practically the only way in which marriages are brought about. The price of a pretty girl from a well-to-do family ranges from $100 to $200, and in special cases a much higher sum is obtained. In the villages the lowest price is about $25. Among the natives of Great Britain the Scotch averages the tallest, the Irish next, then the English and the Welsh. KEEP AMERICANS OFF ALLIES' SHIPS SAYS GERMANY'S REPLY TO AMERICA'S DEMANDS ON SUBMARINE WARFARE. NEUTRALS FLY U. S. FLAG KAISER REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE PRINCIPLE OF VISIT AND SEARCH LAID DOWN BY WILSON. Western Newspaper Union News Service. BERLIN, July 10.—The text of the German note to the U. S. follows: "Berlin, July 8.—The undersigned has the honor to make the following reply to his excellency, Ambassador Gerard, to the note of the 10th ultimo, regarding the impairment of American interests by the German submarine warfare. "The imperial government learned with satisfaction from the note how earnestly the government of the United States is concerned in seeing the principles of humanity realized in the present war. "Also this appeal finds ready echo in Germany, and the imperial government is quite willing to permit its statements and decisions in the present case to be governed by the principles of humanity, just as it has done always. "The imperial government welcomed with gratitude when the American government in the note of May 15th itself recalled that Germany had always permitted itself to be governed by the principles of progress and humanity in dealing with the law of maritime war. "Since the time when Frederick the Great negotiated with John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson the treaty of friendship and commerce of September 9, 1785, between Prussia and the Republic of the West, German and American statesmen have, in fact, always stood together in the struggle for the freedom of the seas and for the protection of peaceable trade. Germany and America Progressive. "In the international proceedings which since have been conducted for the regulation of the laws of maritime war, Germany and America have jointly advocated progress, especially the abolishment of the right of capture at sea and the protection of the interest of neutrals. "Even at the beginning of the present war, the German government immediately declared its willingness to ratify the declaration of London and thereby subject itself in the use of its naval forces to all the restrictions provided therein in favor of neutrals. "Germany likewise has been always tenacious of the principle that war should be conducted against the armed and organized forces of an enemy country, but that the enemy country, but that the enemy civilian population must be spared as far as possible from the measures of war. "The imperial government cherishes the definite hope that some way will be found when peace is concluded, or perhaps earlier, to regulate the law of maritime war in a manner guaranteeing the freedom of the seas, and will welcome it with gratitude and satisfaction if it can work hand in hand with American government on that occasion. Declare Foes Aim at Destruction. "If in the present war the principles which should be the ideal of the future have been traversed more and more, the longer its duration, the German government has no guilt therein. It is known to the American government how Germany's adversaries, by completely paralyzing peaceable traffic between Germany and neutral countries, have aimed from the very beginning and with increasing lack of consideration at the destruction not so much of the armed forces as the life of the German nation, repudiating in doing so all the rules of international law and disregarding all the rights of neutrals. "On Nov. 3, 1914, England declared the North sea a war area and by planting poorly anchored mines and by the stoppage and capture of vessels made passage extremely dangerous and difficult for neutral shipping, thereby actually blockading neutral coasts and ports contrary to all international law. Long before the beginning of submarine war England practically completely intercepted legitimate neutral navigation to Germany also. Thus Germany was driven to a submarine war on trade. Would Keep Food From Germany. "On Nov. 14, 1914, the English premier declared in the House of Commons that it was one of England's principal tasks to prevent food for the German population from reaching Germany via neutral ports. Since March 1, England has been taking from neutral ships without further formality all merchandise proceeding to Germany, as well as all merchandise coming from Germany, even when neutral property. Just as it was also with the Boers, the German people is now to be given the choice of perishing from starvation with its women and children or of relinquishing its independence. "While our enemies thus loudly and openly proclaimed war without mercy until our utter destruction, we were conducting war in self-defense for our national existence and for the sake of peace of an assured permanency. We have been obliged to adopt a submarine warfare to meet the declared intentions of our enemies and the method of warfare adopted by them in contravention of international law. "With all its efforts in principle to protect neutral life and property from damage as much as possible, the German government recognizes unreserv- edly in its memorandum of Feb. 4 that the interests of neutrals might suffer from the submarine warfare. However, the American government will also understand and appreciate that in the fight for existence which has been forced upon Germany by its adversaries and announced by them, it is the sacred duty of the imperial government to do all within its power to protect and save the lives of German subjects. Enemies Blamed for Lusitania Horror. "If the imperial government were derelict in these, its duties, it would be guilty before God and history of the violation of those principles of highest humanity which are the foundation of every national existence. "The case of the Lusitania shows with horrible clearness to what jeopardizing of human lives the manner of conducting war employed by our adversaries leads. In the most direct contradiction of international law, all distinction between merchantmen and war vessels has been obliterated by the order to British merchantmen to arm themselves and to ram submarines, and the promise of rewards therefor, and neutrals who use merchantmen as travelers thereby have been exposed in an increasing degree to all the dangers of war. "If the commander of the German submarine which destroyed the Lusitania had caused the crew and passengers to take to the boats before firing a torpedo, this would have meant the sure destruction of his own vessel. After the experiences in sinking much smaller and less seaworthy vessels, it was to be expected that a mighty ship like the Lusitania would remain above water long enough even after the torpedoing to permit passengers to enter the ship's boats. Explosion Hastened Destruction. "Circumstances of a very peculiar kind, especially the presence on board of large quantities of highly explosive materials defeated this expectation. "In addition it may be pointed out that if the Lusitania had been spared thousands of cases of munitions would have been sent to Germany's enemies and thereby thousands of German mothers and children robbed of bread-winners. "In the spirit of friendship wherewith the German nation has been imbued toward the Union and its inhabitants since the earliest days of its existence, the imperial government will always be ready to do all it can during the present war also to prevent the jeopardizing of lives of American citizens. The imperial government, therefore, repeats the assurances that American ships will not be hindered in the prosecution of legitimate shipping and the lives of American citizens in neutral vessels shall not be placed in jeopardy. "In order to exclude any unforeseen dangers to American passenger steamers, made possible in view of the conduct of maritime war by Germany's adversaries, German submarines will be instructed to permit the free and safe passage of such passenger steamers, when made recognizable by special markings and notified a reasonable time in advance. "The imperial government, however, confidently hopes that the American government will assume to guarantee that these vessels have no contraband on board, details of arrangement for the unhampered passage of these vessels to be agreed upon by the naval authorities of both sides. Neutrals Suffered on Enemy's Ships. "In order to furnish adequate facilities for travel across the Atlantic for American citizens, the German government submits for consideration a proposal to increase the number of available steamers by installing in passenger service a reasonable number of neutral steamers, under the American flag, the exact number to be agreed upon under the same condition as the above mentioned American steamers. "The imperial government believes it can assume that in this manner adequate facilities for travel across the Atlantic ocean can be afforded American citizens. There would, therefore, appear to be no compelling necessity for American citizens to travel to Europe in time of war on ships carrying an enemy flag. "In particular the imperial government is unable to admit that American citizens can protect an enemy ship through the mere fact of their presence on board. "Germany merely followed England's example when she declared part of the high sea an area of war. Consequently, accidents suffered by neutrals on enemy ships in this area of war cannot well be judged differently from accidents to which neutrals are at all times exposed at the seat of war on land when they betake themselves into dangerous localities in spite of previous warnings. "If, however, it should not be possible for the American government to require an adequate number of neutral passenger steamers, the imperial government is prepared to interpose no objections to the placing under the American flag by the American government of four enemy passenger steamers for passenger traffic between North America and England. Assure Americans Safe Passage. "Assurances of 'free and safe' passage for American passenger steamers would extend to apply under the identical pro-conditions to these formerly hostile passenger steamers. "The President of the United States has declared his readiness, in a way deserving of thanks, to communicate and suggest proposals to the government of Great Britain with particular reference to the alteration of marine war. The imperial government will always be glad to make use of the good offices of the President, and hopes that his efforts in the present case, as well as in the direction of the lofty ideal of the freedom of the seas, will lead to an understanding. "The undersigned requests the ambassador to bring the above to the knowledge of the American government and avails himself of the opportunity to renew to his excellency the assurances of his most distinguished consideration.

COLORADO no education that is not standardized; but overstandardization leads t: collapse as surely as does overtraining for a college crew; and false stan- dardization leads to disgrace and crime as definitely and in much the sam« way as buncoing weak, rich women into paying tens of thousands of dol- lars for de luxe books merely worth dollars on the promise that they can resell them at a fabulous advance. ‘The danger, and it is a great danger, is that men who are standard- izing, with millions behind them, are trying to strangle education with scholarship. These men have never seen that scholarship is no more edu- cation than a manikin is a man. : Education is a thing of life and scholarship is lifeless. Scholarshiy deals only with what has been; education deals wholly with what is and is to be. Scholarship faces our grandfathers; education faces our grand- children. ‘These modern standardizers areyafraid of education because it is alive. It may be uncomfortable, They do not like life because there are all sorts of dangers in anything alive, For instance, a manikin never has blood poison, fever, pneumonia or any other ailment. It can be kept in a closet without danger of petrifaction. It is a beautiful thing to look at, illus trates delightfully, lasts forever. Scholarship is standgrdized to death because it deals with the dead. Standardizers have opposed every new idea, and they always will. Stan- dardizers tried to prevent anyone’s believing that the earth rotated. They crucified Jesus, imprisoned Paul, and they drove Sammelweis to insanity in Vienna less than sixty years ago because he reduced the death rate in childbirth from 12 in 100 to 3 in 100 by insisting that the physician should wash his hands before he attended the patient. Standard- ized physicians insisted that this was a reflection upon the standardization. ‘They positively refused to do so simple a thing as that because it war new. Sammelweis and his school reduced the death rate so low that they persecuted him to insanity, ‘There was nothing in their scholarship thai suggested clean hands. They fought Pasteur like fiends incarnate because he was conquering hydrophobia, and they fiercely assailed Lister because his theory of treat- ment was not of their standards. : But all the standardizers of the past were harmless-as compared with those of today, because they merely had the gravitation of human nature and inherited prejudice to overcome, while today limitless miMions are put in the hands of men for use in strangling every new idea that breathes in an educational institution. A professor who prefers education to scholarship realizes that the almshouse threatens him while a luxurioys old age might await him. An institution that prefers live education to dead scholarship sees its doom. The standardization of today is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is using every art and device of bribery to deceive the public. Under the pretense that they are protecting the public from youthful inconstancy the advocates of standardization are infusing germs of senility. ‘To standardize in the right direction, standardize nothing backward. but standardize everything forward and upward. of vital importance. I believe congress should jump into the breach and do the needful in legislating a uniform weight for every known carrier or measure universally used. For instance, a bushel of onions in some states is accredited as weighing about 53 pounds, while in other states thc weight is classified as about 59 pounds. ‘The bardship consists in the fact that farmers may ship commodities to one state from another, and where they ship hundreds of bushels of vegetables at a stated weight the consignee has but to pay for the weight estimated by the state in which he resides. ‘A carload of onions may weigh accurately so much in one state, but when the consignee of another state has to pay for it the weight of the bushel in that jurisdiction may be more or less, as the case may be. Every known measure should have a uniform weight all over the United States, and a barrel of potatoes should be judged as to have as much weight in New York as in California, But this condition doe: not exist. Then, again, all grain hoppers should be tested at stated intervals. Buffalo’s port has shipments of grain amounting to 300,000,000 bushels annually, and the weights often vary to-an alarmingextent because the hopper in Minnesota or elsewhere is out of kilter. Who pays the differ- ence? Why, the poor consumer, of course. This is a situation that cannot be too forcibly impressed upon con- gress to afford a remedy. to music, The war, of course, has taken away many musicians, but therc are bands and orchestras abundant in all-the cities of Europe. It is no only in the trenches where music stirs, but in the cities it has done morc to stir patriotism than anything else. Everybody knows that. The peopl cannot get along without music. That is why I am an optimist. The United States afier the war doubtless will be the great music center of the world. It is true that we have to turn to the old world for our greatest musicians, particularly pianists, but Americans are learn- ing, and in time gome great pianists will be developed. There are some great musical organizations in this country. London has no such orchestrs as the one in Boston, and probably the only one that surpasses it ig im Berlin. ‘There was a time when the musician affected long hair, as if to prove his ability, but that time has passed. A musician must have tempera- ment, of course, but temperament does not cause insanity or eccentricity, necessarily. The musician must be intellectual. It takes three or four generations to make a great instrumentalist. Those who criticize the most when the weather is disagreeable have little praise to offer when a day calling for joy and thanksgiving burste forth from heaven. .

E. Winship, Editor of Journal of Education, Boston, Mass, 1S THE TIDE TURNING RELIGIOUSLY TOO? ‘There is an adage which runs as follows: “When troubles come oe come not in spies but in battalions,” and we can, from the various Incidents that are occurring within these latter years in our country and the world at large, use the adage subsituting the word blessings for troubles, reading thus, “When blessings come, etc.” The world has often wondered and been puzzled over the unjust, unfair and unwarrantable ill-treatment. that dark-skinned Americans have come in for, in the utter disregard of their civil rights and privileges by their fellowmen of whife appearance; and while we have in our midst men whom the people have elected to the high and respectd positions of Governor of the State, Senator ,ete., who sometimes in their narrow spheres and small mental latitude express themselves as being opposed to the Articles of the Constitution in measuring in the same manner and weighing in the same balance all American irrespective of color, yet we find that gradually 4 moral transformation is being wrought nowadays in the minds of our hard task-masters and the same is being so deeply rooted and grounded that Re- ligious Mockery so long engaged in by our white religionists as a whole, is beginning to feel ashamed of itself, and has come out boldly and expressed itself that being conscience stricken it cannot entertain the idolatrous grooves that it has established in this country for so many years and generations. We have many-times been taunted, jeered and laughed at by other religious com- amunities in this country’s religious procedure by having, as they say, one re- ligion for the blacks and another for the whites, and sometimes we fear that mnch of scepticism, agnosticism and infidelity find fertile soil in the great U. S. A. by its racial demarkation even in religious circles where the theme of Christianity, the form of religion generally adopted is, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism. In the words of the Rey. Ira Landrith of Nashville, Tenn., whom trom his remarks, we take to be an honest, upright, zealous christian charac- ter, “We are going to get behind the Negro problem, as he declared, we are going to take the Christian Endeayor work into the Negro churches, organize societies, extend it and help millions of blacks to enlightenment.” We have gathered that this eminent divine possibly has seen the light that Saul of ‘Tarsus beheld in his persecution of Christians in his journey to Damascus, and therefore the same results, his willingness to do anything, stand the criti- cisms of his Southern clerical brethren, yea, even to be ostracized from his associates for the cause of Christ and the Church, must come about. We have not received any information that pressure was brought to bear on this minis- ter at the Convention of the World’s Christian Endeavor Societies Peacaty) held in Chicago, all we know is that the spirit of oneness, of uniform Christian | character permeated the assembly after stirring speeches were made by prom- inent church and business men, which is the inevitable result after the spirit of God lays hold of a man, a body, an assembly, a nation. We would like to impress our religious white brothers that the intelligence of the present age has proven there is no white church and there is no Negro church, for if we are to be true followers of Christ we cannot hesitate to accept His command which came with that charitable disposition that was characteristic of Him when He said to His immediate disciples, “Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” No rider, no condition, no promise, no particu- larity attached to the appearance, just simply to carry out the mission; and what a travesty on so grand and great a religion when men try to deviate from the instructions and commands of this Head of the Church. ‘The poet having a full realization of the one, plain, simple teaching could pot but give vent to his poetic soul in the lines: “The church is one founda- ulon,” and we are more than proud to see the awakening, the change that is coming over White America, God's country, as she is styled by some, in that the scales are being removed from her eyelids and all men will soon be en Joying in a superlative degree the essence of liberty both in State and Chureh. ‘The Colorado Statesman yoices the sentiments of the people of Colorado in expressing congratulations to Rev.

SMYRNA, PRIZE IN MANY WARS Copyright, Underweed & Underweed SMYRNA AND ITS HARBOR ALONG with the bombardment of the forts of the Dardanelles there has been going on another attack on Turkey, although the world has heard little about it. A French fleet has been bombarding Smyrna, with what result the latest dispatches must be examined to discover. Ten times has Smyrna fallen and each time risen from ruins to renewed splendor and prosperity as the foremost city of Asia Minor. By virtue of its commanding situation at the head of a sheltered 30-mile gulf, the gateway to the interior and a terminal for caravan and railroad routes of Asia Minor, the little city clustered around the base of Mount Pagus has been a gem sought for the crown of each succeeding ruler dominating the Orient from the dawn of history. Today-or rather six months ago- it would not be described as an Oriental city, but as a modern metropolis. With a population of 250,000, a little larger than Providence, it has become a commercial center as cosmopolitan as an American city. Cosmopolitan City. More than half of its people are Greeks; the rest are Turks, Jews, Armenians and people from western Europe living in outlying sections, Burnabat and Buja. The English and French colonies have played a large part in its recent commercial history. Smyrna's export trade, in the neighborhood of $1,500,000 yearly, has been largely with Great Britain. Seven thousand steamships in a year come into the narrow roadstead off the modern quays and take on cargoes of tobacco, figs, raisins, silks, tanning and dyeing materials. Smyrna rugs and carpets, so-called, come from the interior through Smyrna. The imports at Smyrna, cotton and linens and woolens from England and Germany chiefly, average $1,000,000 annually. Two hundred miles southwest of Constantinople, it is one of the logical way stations for traffic through the Mediterranean to the Black sea ports. In all but its government, Smyrna is now a predominantly Christian city. A new government building and a new railroad are signs of its recent progress. The fine quays are backed by a line of good buildings. The streets are narrow, but well kept and adequate. The city boasts good schools, of which the International college is the best known, and missions of all denominations have headquarters there. Impresses Visitors at Once. The first view of the city that a traveler gets coming up the Gulf of Smyrna, encompassed by high hills rising from the water's edge, is one that is not forgotten. Passing numerous headlands and islands, which were in Greek times resorts for philosophers and later of pirates, the extensive cemeteries on Mount Pagus come into view and the few remains of ancient Smyrna and its citadel. Then the mosques, minarets, cupolas, baths and little brown-roofed wooden houses rising on the terraces of the hill show up above the city itself spread along the gulf for two miles. Like many Turkish cities it is "beautiful at a distance"—more so than at close range, perhaps. Smyrna is one of the cities which claim to be the birthplace of Homer, which is not evidence of particular distinction in the eastern Mediterranean, but it indicates the age of the city and something of its proud position. A rivulet north of the city is pointed out as the true Meles. Anaxagoras, born on an island in the outer gulf, is one of its philosophical heroes. Tradition of City's Founding. Poetic tradition says that Smyrna was founded by an amazon of that Cosmopolitan City. name who had previously conquered Ephesus. The city, whatever its origin, has from the beginnings of recorded history preserved an unbroken identity of name. It came early into the possession of the Aeolians and continued in their confederacy down to 688 B. C., when it fell by an act of treachery, as cities in those days usually fell, according to their historians—into the hands of the Ionians and became the thirteenth city of the Ionic league. Miletus, and later Ephesus, were trade rivals, but Smyrna with a superior harbor and on the direct path of commerce from Lydia, outdistanced these cities. City Under Many Rulers. The founder of the Lydian empire, Alyattis III, conquered Smyrna in the sixth century, B. C. and for 300 years it lost its place in the list of Greek cities. Alexander the Great, the romantic dreamer who accomplished things as king of Macedon, succeeded in restoring the city. The idea was supposed to have been given him in a dream by Nemesis, one of the gods worshiped in the temple at Smyrna. The city fell and flourished under the sieges and vicissitudes of Greek, Roman, Byzantine and Turkish rulers. In the Roman period it vied again with Ephesus and Pergamum for the title of the first city of Asia. When Constantinople became the seat of the government, directing the destinies of the Asia Minor cities, Smyrna declined, trade routes changed and the city was ravaged several times. Antiquarians have been surprised to find the few relics of antiquity that are still to be seen in Smyrna. DEFENSE OF BOILED CABBAGE Writer Who Appreciates the Delicacy Objects to Its Being Classed Among the Nuisances. The decision of the supreme court of West Virginia that "the wanton and needless cooking of cabbage and sauerkraut for the purpose of annoying a neighbor is a nuisance," is very poor law so far as the cabbage is concerned, because there can be no such thing as the wanton and needless cooking of cabbage; nor would it be possible to annoy any sane person in that way. The redolence that issues from a kitchen and permeates the household during the boiling of cabbage is a great delight. The people who say mean things about it do so because cabbage is a modest vegetable and has too much self-respect to insinuate itself on the boards of the aristocrats. We common people, whom God made so many of, and which might not be were it not so, love boiled cabbage, not only for its noble self, but for its tender memories. There is no happier reminiscence than those days when the aroma of boiled cabbage floated through the old household rubbing up against one's tender sensibilities, almost like a divine spirit, and telling one's appetite to get ready for the grand feast a-coming. People who don't have such memories as that have lived in vain—Ohio State Journal. Card Saved Soldier's Life A German lady sent a box of cigars to a soldier recently, accompanied by her calling card. The lieutenant later wrote her that the card had saved his life. One day while in the trenches he took out his notebook, and her card fell to the ground. When he bent to pick it up, shrapnel fell over the trench. He would have surely been killed had he not been in a reclining position. RATES GIVEN ON $100 STATE TO CUT RATES ON LABOR RISKS.

In heavier materials it is black and white with the emphasis on black, and in sheer fabrics it is white and black with white predominant. The combination in the hands of those who know how to manage it is marvelously effective, and something new and fascinating is evolved svery day. There never was anything so cool and crisp-looking for midsum- mer wear, and never was anything more elegant. Among the most attractive dresses made in this way there is one having 4 skirt of plain white net laid in double box plaits about the waist.

The sleeves are made separately and set in, One may buy bodices like this at such a moderate price that it is hardly worth while to make them, although those made at home cost a little less if made on the sewing machine. But there is some satisfaction in choosing just the patterns in lace that suit the indi- vidual taste, and lace sewed together by hand looks better on close exam- {nation than machine work, ‘The, lower part of the bodice pic- tured is a strip of batiste hemmed at each end and gathered into a narrow strong beading at the lower edge. This beading {s finished with an edg- ‘ug of narrow val lace and carries sngerie ribbon, which is drawn up and tied to adjust the bodice at the waist line. ‘The top edge of tue strip is to be turned back in a tiny rolled (or ma- chine-stitched) hem, The lower part of one arm’s-eye is cut out at each side and the two rows of narrow val inser- tion with a narrow band of fine swiss embroidery i» overcast to the top of the batiste. Finally a length of bead- ing, with val edging sewed to one edge, finishes the top of the bodice and forms the top of the arm’s-eye. Ribbon run through the beading line adjusts the bodice to the. bust. The small, short sleeves are made of row after row of val insertion, with a band of embroidery at the bottom finished with val edging Other bodices made of crepe de chine made up with wide insertions of shadow lace are liked in witite or pale pink. Brassieres made of handkerchief linen and heavy cluny lace are cut in ‘one piece and. wrap about the figure, crossing at che back. They are fin- ished with tapes that tiein front, or with beading carrying lingerie ribbon. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Silk Stockings.
