THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO Congressman Borland And Negro Federal Employes VOL. XX11. Congress Borland Negro E (By JONATHAN COVER) The following piece of misinformation appeared in the Congressional Record of Feb. 28, 1916 and is quoted as a part of the remarks of Representative Wm. P Borland of Missouri, in support of his Amendment to the Appropriation Bill, seeking to impose an extra hour of service upon Federal employees in the District of Columbia. "There are a number of Negroes in the Civil Service and a most without exception they are in the purely classified clerical departments where the seven hour day prevails and not in the mechanical and technical branches where the eight hour day is enforced. I am told that among the young Negro couples it is customary for both the husband and wife to take the Civil Service examination and secure appointment if possible in the same office. As they get to work late in the morning and go home early in the afternoon it is possible for them to keep house and raise an interesting brood of pickaninies while drawing two comfortable salaries from the Federal Government. Sometimes the wife only works in the department and the husband rests at home or devotes his talents to preaching the gospel." It is difficult to conceive how any one possessing first-hand information on the subject as this distinguished Congressman surely does, can make a serious statement which so flagrantly misrepresents the facts as does the above. It is especially difficult to realize how a man of Mr. Borlands calibre, for he was Dean of the Kansas City school of law for fourteen years; is author of text books of law and otherwise versatile and capable, could be so decidedly in error concerning a matter about which he could so easily have informed himself. To account for it except in a way that can in no sense be construed as a compliment seems impossible. Of course it has been the custom of some public men of deficient mentality or uncontrollable prejudices, (but assuredly not men of Mr. Borlands equipment) to seize upon every occasion some excuse --- to malign the character, capability and aspirations of Negro citizens. Such propaganda has usually been traceable to a desire for notoriety or to bolster a waning popularity among the voters of a particularity among the voters of a particular constituency. Such folks have felt no reluctance in seizing and making use of the longest and strongest ladder upon which to safely climb into the affectionate consideration of heir Negro-hating clientele. Many of these have this and nothing else upon which to rely to maintain their close and deeply cherished relationship to the payroll of Uncle Sam and so are willing to sacrifice truth and honor itself in the effort to besmirch the integrity and hinder the progress of an humble tho uplooking people. As to the merit of Mr Borlands assertion, it can be justly said that its basis in fact is the merest shadow and the instances as alleged are so rare in the departmental life at Washington as to become the most distinguished of exceptions. Of course too, if the Congressman had been inclined to be just as explicit, by fitting the shoe to the other foot, he might have had a goodly chance to make the allegations stick. As far as the Negro is concerned the fact of tenure of office, especially in these latter days, is so uncertain and discipline and regulations applied to him are so scrupulously adhered to, that any such license and favoritism as are implied in the alleged employment of man and wife at the same time and in the same department, will strike an enlightened public much as would a story from the Arabian Nights, trimmed to suit the passions and prejudices of warped and unkindly natures. CRIPPLE CREEK, COLO. NEWS. (By Wm. C. Harris.) Miss Dora Thompkins of Colorado Springs is visiting with her sister, Mrs. Allen Harrell of Victor. Miss Gregory and Miss Carter of Cripple Creek, were visitors in Victor last week. Mr. Sam E. Waddy, one of the DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. MARCH 18, 1916 pioneer colored citizens of this District died on Feb. 25th. The death of Mr. Waddy was a shock to his many friends as he died very suddenly of heart disease. This paper joins me in extending to the bereaved family our sympathies. The Rev. Ward of Denver, was up from Denver to straighten up some church trouble. Mr. and Mrs. Hal C. Clay entertained a number of the younger set in honor of Miss Thompkins last week. Miss Abie Jackson who has been visiting her parents here for the past two months is on the sick list but is much improved at the present time. Mrs. Mary Thissle of Denver, formerly of Cripple Creek is a business visitor in the district. Mrs. Sam E. Waddy, who has been visiting her parents in Shreeveport, La., was home on account of the sudden death of her husband, Mr. Sam. E. Waddy. Mrs. Waddy was accompanied by her cousin, Mrs. Belfry. Mr. Fred Smith surprised himself and friends by making a visit to Victor which is said to be his first visit in six years. Mrs. Mamie Hopkins of Cripple Creek who was injured in a street car accident some time ago has just received a check for $500. Mr. Lawrence Cotwell and Miss Thompkins were callers in Cripple Creek on Sunday. Mr. Tommy Lewis of Denver was called to the district on account of the death of his cousin, Mr. Sam E. Waddy. Mr. Bryant was a caller in Cripple Creek on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Hal C. Cly and son were callers in Victor on Sunday. THE MEXICAN SITUATION. The howlers against "preparedness" are very quiet in these days, now that trouble is on our very borders. Even Ex-Secretary of State, Hon. William Jennings Bryan is endorsing the President's action regarding Mexico. What has become of the other participants or members of the peace at any price party? Have they seen a clearer vision and agreed with the old saying, "If peace is obtained by force then prepare for war?" Senators in their addresses this week spoke forcibly on a real war if America is entering this trouble and not a primitive expedition, as there was no guarantee that the Mexicans would keep divided after an invasion. Some feared that influence might be brought to bear on the factions led by Villa, Zapata and Carranza respectively, relative to conquest of Mexico by the United States and if seriously impressed they will in turn unite their forces against us. It is reported by federal officers that agents of foreign powers may be giving assistance to Villa, and orders have been sent to customs officials at seaports of the United States and along the Mexican border to hold shipments of arms, ammunition or explosives, except it is clearly established that they are for the defacto government. American troops are now on Mexican soil, sixty miles west of El Paso and war planes, foodstuffs and general equipments are being rushed for their use. General Funston is moving with the utmost caution in his orders to the military and the greatest secrecy is being observed. General Gavira Carranza, commander at Juarez, Mexico, assured the United States authorities that he had received instructions from Gen- eral Obregon, minister of war, to order all troops in his district to cooperate with the American expeditionary force, and he would see that this was carried out as his men were absolutely loyal and there was no danger of any outbreak in this section. General Gavira further said: "There is no reason whatever for any hostility toward Americans on the part of loyal Mexicans, and I have assurances that all the troops in my district will act in full concord with the Americans who are pursuing Villa. I am in complete control of the situation here." This sounds very nively and we hope that every word of it is meant, but will the United States army take any chances, of merely sending an expedition or have "preparedness" for a regular war? Colorado is ready to send her contingent whenever called upon and she is prepared to champion the cause of the land of the Stars and Stripes with Mexico as she has done in the past with other nations. JEWS SAYS PYTHIANS OUGHT SHUN ST. LOUIS Columbus, Ohio. —A very prominent Jewish citizen here, when he read in the telegraphic news of the daily papers that St. Louis had passed two segregation ordinances by a vote of more than fifty thousand to seventeen thousand, remarked: "The Colored Knights of Pythias who voted at the grand lodge meeting in the city last August to meet in St. Louis year after next, should now rescind that action. They ought to say to the city of St. Louis: "If your electors vote to segregate our race then we will retaliate by not holding our Supreme Lodge meeting in your city; we will decline to go to St. Louis." Continuing, this Jewish citizen said: Why should a great organization go to a city to expend at least five hundred thousand the week of its meeting when that city has insulted the race by passing an unjust, un-Ameriean and damnable anti-race ordinance. No other race, if your race accepts it, would carry its funds to be emptied into the pockets of a city that adopts a segregation ordinance. If such an ordinance had been adopted to affect the Germans, Iris), Italians or Jews they would have promptly boycotted the city adopting it. Remarkable Balanced Rock. Remarkable Balanced Rock. In Acushnet, Me., are two rocks peculiarly situated on a ledge and ap parently placed there by glacial action. The larger rock weighs probably several hundred tons, and years ago it is said this could be tilted by pushing against it. There are evidences that at some time smaller rocks were placed as wedges to keep the great rock motionless. Hubby Knows Everything. Mrs. Newrich had been told by her caller that a certain dinner party had "wound up with great eclat." When her husband came home she askee him what "a-kia" meant. "Why, that's the dessert, I guess," said Newrich "Didn't you ever eat a chocolate a kla?"—Boston Transcript. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Providence, R. I., March 4 1916 —William H. Lewis, of Boston, attorney for Brown and Spellman, convicted for murdering Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, filed in the Superior Court here today in connection with his attempt to get a new trial for his clients, an affidavit made by himself to the effect that he believes he knows two eye witnesses to the murder, and can produce them at another trial. Judge Sterns presided at the sitting, and everything was ready to proceed with arguments when Mr. Lewis noticed that the two defendants were not present. He inquired and was informed by the Judge that the practice in this state is that the defendants have no rights in such cases and are not brought into court to hear such motions. Valdosta, Ga.—Barney Newsome Jr., a young white farmer from Ciyattville, was a member of a white cap party on the night of February 10. attempting to run away from the neighborhood Will Clark, a Negro farm tenant. Will Clark fired a load of bird shot into Newsome's body and Newsome died in a hospital here on March 3 at 11 o'clock at night. The shooting of Newsome was not cleared up until his family made a statement concerning his connection with the white cap party. Newsome was married and the father of one child. Another member of the party was wounded by Clark who made his escape. Atlanta, Ga.—J. N. Renfroe, member of the city council from the first ward, objects to the presence of Negroes in that ward and has asked the city attorney to draft a segregation law that will stand a court test. An ordinance passed some time ago, introduced by Councilman Ashley, was declared unconstitutional by the Georgia Supreme Court. The city attorney, whose salary is paid from taxes coming into the city treasury from the Negro citizens as well as from the whites, has promised to prepare, such an ordinance as Renfroe wants. St. Joseph, Mo.—When John Downey, cashier of the Mechanics' State Bank here, heard a whistle, came from the outside of a cashier's cage late today he looked up to see a pistol staring into his face from the hand of a Negro Downey. Benjamin Feeney, a bookkeeper, and James E. Collins, a real estate dealer, were ordered into the bank vault, and the Ne NO 31 gro proceeded to rob the cashier's cage of $1,500 in bills and silver, all the time whistling merrily. While the Negro, who was not masked, was in the cashiers cage searching for money, three customers appeared and asked the Negro if Downey was in. The Negro jerked his thumb over his shoulder said "Back there," and proceeded with his task and escaped. Berne,—An Italian diplomat, who recently returned from Africa and passed through Switzerland on his way to Paris and London, reports that the French and English governments are raising a large army of Negroes in their African colonies. The diplomat states that the French have already obtained more than 300,000 colored recruits. This army, according to his statement, will be trained in Morocco, Algiers and Tunis, and is to be brought to the western theatre of war next July or August England, the diplomat says, is also organizing a large Negro army, but only a part of these troops will be brounht to Europe to fight against the Germans. Augusta, Ga.—Alfred W. Wimberly, editor of The Plain Dealer, a paper recently started in this city is being sued for criminal libel by Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta, former collector of internal revenue and national Republican committeeman from Georgia. Jackson, who is alleged to be in sympathy with a lily white element in Georgia, was severely criticized by Wimberly in a recent issue of The Plain Dealer, and the libel suit followed. Jackson has followed up this action with an application to Judge Henry C. Hammond of the Superior Court for a temporary restraining order to enjoy Wimberly from publishing any other alleged libel us matter. Jackson alleges that Wimberly is ensolvent and he is thus prevented from proceeding against the editor for damages. Judge Hammond granted a temporary order and will hear arguments on March 18. Wimberly was a deputy collector in the internal revenue service under H. A. Rucker, who preceded Jackson as collector Wimberly was removed from office by Jackson. He has been one of the leading Negro republicans of this district and the State, and is a supporter of Col. Walter H. Johnson, State chairman, on whom a fight is being made by Jackson and his friends. FOREIGN Oey eee RS ESE ONS eel At Nice, France, the death of J.

From how many hundreds of miles this force had been assembled, the elemnts of its armament, its numbers and the direction or directions in which its various columns headed after they passed the International line, was a secret held by the military censorship. The one important fact, that the Americans had gone into Mexico again, was an eyent witnessed by hundreds of spectators who crowded into Columbus. They saw the troops move off toward the imaginary bound- ary Ine until, when the men crossed. they were tiny but distinct brown lines in the distance, in the clear western air, As the troops passed farther into the low gravel hills, clouds of white dust hid the men and their further movements as effectively as the cen- sorship. Brilliant sunshine occasion- ally caught the flash of the soldiers’ accoutrements, Behind the troops who moved for- ward, new regiments rapidly filled the vacated camps in Columbus. The Eleventh cavalry, from Fort Ogle- thorpe, Ga., was one of the new ar rivals. The new regiments expected to follow, but their officers would not say how soon, or from what points. ‘The disposition of the First aero plane squadron, which went along, Was one of the most interesting of the military secrets, being the first actu- al campaign test of this new arm of the service. Juarez, Mex.—Gen. Gavira, Carrar za commander here, said he had re- ceived instructions from Gen, Obre- gon, Carranza’s minister of war, to or- der all troops in his district to co-op erate in every way with the American oxpeditionary force. Juarez is quiet on the surface but Americans met with insults in some parts of the town and there were evidences of a strong undercurrent of hostility toward the United States. Washington—On request of the State Department orders haye been sent to collectors of customs at sea- ports of the United States and along the Mexican border to hold up ship: ments of arms, ammunition or ex- plosives consigned to Mexico, except such as it is clearly established are designed for the de facto government. The order was said to be the outcome of information reaching the depart: ment that a large consignment of ex- plosives from American munitions factories, intended for the Villa forces, was about to be sent south. KAISER OUSTS VON TIRPITZ. Sub-Sea Raid Orders Said to Be Cause of Removal, London, March 16.-—Admiral Von Tirpitz has been eliminated from the German navy, according to reports re ceived here. For several days con flicting reports regarding the status of the chief of the imperial Germaz navy have been afloat. It was ru mored some days ago that Admiral Von Tirpitz, and the Kalser had clashed over the U-boat policy, ané that the Kaiser had requested his com mander to resign. A later dispatch announced that Von Tirpitz was se riously sl and that a bedside confer ence between him and the imperial chancellor had caused a sensation in Berlin, . It has been intimated by gov: ernment officials here who are in touch with Berlin through secret sources that Von Tirpitz has been re moved from command because the undersea policy adopted by him, and carried out, according to his orders regardless of the protests of the Ber- lin, diplomats, caused Germany trou- ble. Admiral von Capelle has been chosen to succeed Von Tirpitz. German Forces Await Reserves. London, March 16.—The German army apparently has paused to bring up reinforcements for a continuance of the advance against the Verdun fortress ond its outlying defenses. Meunwhile the big guns are exchang Ing shells at various poiats along the entire line from Belgium to the Vos: ges, The Italians are shelling the Austrians, using their infantry only occasionally.

TION BY UNITED STATES TO INTERVENE IN MEXICO. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, March 15.—Secretary Lansing, following the publication of the reply to Gen. Carranza, gave out the following statement of assurance to the Mexican people: “In order to remove any apprehen- sion that may exist, either in the United States or Mexico, the Presi- dent has authorized me to give in his name the public assurance that the military operations in contemplation by this government will be strictly confined to the cbject already an- nounced, and that in no circumstances will they be suffered to intrench in any degree upon the sovereignty ot Mexico or develop into intervention of any kind in the international af- fairs of the sister republic. “On the contrary, what now ts being done is deliberately intended to pre- clude the possibility of intervention.” United States Concedes Right. Following is the answer of the United States to the Carranza note suggesting a reciprocity agreement in the matter of troops from each gov- ernment crossing the boundary line in pursuit of bandits, sent to Carranza through Consul Silliman at Guadala- Jara: “You are instructed to reply: as fol- lows to Secretary Acuna's note of March 10: “The government of the United States has received the courteous note of Sefior Acuna and has read with sat- isfaction his suggestion for reciprocal privileges to the American and Mex- ican authorities in the pursuit and ap- prehension of outlaws who infest their respective territory along the international boundary, and who are @ menace to the lives and property of residents in that region. “The government of the United States, in view of affairs which have existed for some time along the inter- national boundary, and earnestly de- siring to cooperate with the de facto government of Mexico to suppress this state of lawlessness of which the re- cent attack on Columbus, N. M., is a deplorable example, and to insure ‘peace and order in the regions con- tiguous to the boundary between the two republics, readily grants permis sion for military forces of the de facto government of Mexico to cross the international boundary in pursuit of lawless bands of armed men who have entered Meaico from the United States, committed outrages on Mexi- can soil and fled into the United States, on the understanding that the de facto government of Mexico grants the reciprocal privilege that the mili- tary forces of the United States may pursue across) the international boun dary into Mexican territory lawless bands of armed men who have en- sered the United States from Mexico. committed outrages on American soil and fled into Mexico, “The government of the United States understands that in view of its idea of the reciprocal arrangement proposed by the de facto government the arm is now complete and in force and the-reciprocal privilege thereunder may accordingly be exercised by either government without further in- terchange of views. “It is a matter of great satisfaction to the government of the United Stetes that the de facto government has been so friendly in the matter of cooperation with the United States to apprehend and punish the bands of outlaws who seek refuge bevond the international boundaries in the. erro- neous, belief that constituted authort- tles will resent any pursuit across the boundary by the forces of the govern ment whose citizens have suffered by the crimes of the fugitives. “With the same spirit of cordial friendship the government of the United States will exercise the privi lege granted by the de facto govern ment of Mexico in the hope and con- fident expectation that by their mu tual efforts lawlessness will be eradi- cated and peace and order maintaine* in the territories of the United States and. Mexico contiguous to the inter- national boundary. i tSimned) “LANSING. URGES SPEED ON LEGISLATION Senate Warned Villa May Unite Mex: ico Against Punitive Army. Washington, March 14.—Danger of grave complications growing out of the sending of American troops into Mexico to hunt down Villa and his bandits was urged in the Senate by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military committee, and Senator Bo rah, Republican, in advocating laying aside temporarily all other legisla- tion in order to dispose promptly of preparedness measures. Their state- ments precipitated a general discus- sion in which Senators Vardatan and Simmons deprecated suggestions that the United States was not prepared to deal with any situation that might arise in its relations with Mexico. While the Senate debate was in progress, Speaker Clark and Majority Leader Kitehin were reporting to their colleagues of the House on a conference with President Wilson, who urged them to speed up the leg- islative program with a view to action on all important measures in time for adjournment in June.

WOMEN RUN BULLET GANTLET Wounded Nurse Says She Was Too Excited to Notice injury—Brief Reign of Terror a Horrible Experience. Chicago.—The first refugees from Villa's brief reign of terror in Columbus, N. M., reached Chicago yesterday. There were four in the party—the wife and mother-in-law of Capt. George Williams of the Thirteenth United States cavalry, the captain's four-year-old son, Worthington Williams, and the latter's nurse. Captain Williams was with the detachment under Major Tompkins which pursued the Villa raiders across the border and is still on duty at Columbus. He is reported to have been wounded in the hand. Women Shaken by Raid. the women appeared pale and shaken by their experience, but Worthington, blue eyed, apple cheeked, and tousled as to yellow hair strutted up and down the waiting room of the La Salle street station, evidently having the time of his life. The bandaged hand of the nurse told a story the boy did not know—how the wound which chattered the woman's wrist had saved the child from almost certain death by a Mexican bullet. "We were itching in a house not far from the army camp," said Mrs. Williams, who is on her way to her home in Norfolk Va., which she hinks will be a safer spot than the border. The baby was asleep in his little crib when the raiders came. "The nurse was resting on e cot in the same room, and, fortunately, was wakeful. She was the first to hear the shooting. She quickly warned the rest of us and then picked up Worthington, still asleep, and started through the streets for the camp. Wounded, but Reached Gamp. Woodside but reached Camp. "She had covered about half the distance when a bullet from one of the raiders struck her right hand, breaking several bones. She's a brave girl, though, and with the Blood flowing from her wound she staggered along and reached the camp in safety. "If that bullet had been an inch or two either way—well, I have enough horrible things to think of out the baby you know, was in her arms. My mother and I ran to the camp and reached it soon after the nurse. By that time the bullets were flying everywhere, for the soldiers were repelling the attack. Then, before I fairly realized what wa happened, my husband had gathered his company and was away with Major Tompkins over the border, after the fleeing Villistas. "I never want to pass through an other such experience. It came at the dead of night and was so wholly unexpected. "We knew that Villa could not be trusted to keep on the Mexican side of the border, but we didn't think it possible for a human being to commit such an act as that attack on innocent women and children. Pan Bullet Gantlet. "The poor nurse was almost ex- hausted, and of course we all wore. I cannot imagine, even now, how my mother and I got across that open space without being hit. "My husband will be one of the first to cross the border with the troops on the regular expedition when the order comes I suppose he is already in Mexico. Isn't that the word from Washington? "But, of course I could stay no longer with the baby. My home 's in Norfolk. Va., and I am going there." On the Rock .sland train en route to Chicago the Williams baby had become a general favorite with the passengers He never tired of giving his version of the raid. His Uniform Like Father's. His Uniform Like Father's. At the station, while the party was waiting for a taxicab, he proved a picturesque figure in his brown khaki uniform, an exact eplica of his father's, and his huge Mexican straw sombrero. He walked up and down the waiting room waving a little American flag, and announcing to all comers that his father was "a big sojer" and was going to "kill those Meyans." "Baby, where is daddy?" asked Mrs Williams, halting his sentry duty for a moment. "Oh, he's in camp," said Worthington promptly. "What's he doing?" "Fightin' the Meyans." "Who is your daddy?" "Why don't you know? He's a bl, sojer an' capn'" When their taxicab arrived the party went to the Virginia hotel, where Mrs. Williams and her mother spent the dry in the seclusion of their rooms Worthington, however, sent out with his nurse for a walk and kept up a running fire of comment on the street cars, the big buildings, and the other things he had not been accustomed to encounter in Columbus. Neither Mrs. Williams nor her mother were inclined to discuss their experience in detail. After their brief interview with a reporter they denied themselves to callers as far as possible, receiving only a few intimate Chicago friends. News of their arrival quickly spread among the guests and attaches of the hotel, however, and when they entered the dining room for dinner they were freely if discreetly, stared at. An early morning train took them on their way to Virginia. Nurse Very Modest. The nurse was modesty taciturn about her part in the escape from the Williams home in Columbus, and even reused to give her name to reporters. "I hardly felt the bullet when it hit me," she said. "I was so excited, and, of course, I was thinking only of getting to the camp. But it seems like God's mercy that it hit me instead of the baby. I'm pretty glad of that. I can tell you. "It'll be a story to tell when Worthington grows up, won't it?" GIRL DESCRIBES HISTORY. How entire families took to the roofs for safety when the Villistas made their descent on Columbus was told to passengers on the Rock Island train by Frances Ligdon a young woman who went through the raid, and was repeated by Horace M Serber and William D Beckley of Milwaukee. They reached Chicago vesey morning Miss Higdon stopped at her home in St Louis. "Miss Higdon said she was stopping at a boarding house called the Hotel Nacionalale," declared Sarner. "I was sleeping in the room next to Mrs. Taylor when the reports of the guns reached us, she narrated. The attack seemed to have centered several blocks away. Everyone came runnin' into the hallway. I went to a window, when I heard the sound of hard riding along our street, and saw a band of Villistas riding through. HARASSING WITH SCATTERED BANDS LIKELY TO BE VILLA'S TACTICS They were not firing. Then from an overhanging porch across the street came several shots, and one or two of the Villista's fell. The rest, twenty or twenty-five in number, wheeled and came back. Several of them spurred over toward the house and kicked at the door, while the rest shot from their horses, which stood stock still. Killing Them Like Flies. "An old Mexican woman, called Felice, came upstairs carrying Mrs. Taylor's two small children. She wanted to take them up on the roof, but I had heard someone say, 'They're killing them on the roofs like flies.' and so I took the children and stuffed them between the spring and mattress of a small bed in their mother's room. Washington, D. C.—The administration has announced that it has no intention of entering Mexico in force and therefore will merely send a sufficient body of mobile troops to locate and disperse or capture the band or bands which attacked Columbus. This, then, is the problem before the war department. To bring this about, two forces must be provided, one to go after Villa and the other to guard the border, so that he or other Mexican leaders may not raid it as was done at Columbus, says Capt. Henry J. Reilly in the Chicago Tribune. If Villa keeps his forces concentrated and offers battle, the problem will be much more simple than if he scatters his forces in small bands all over the country. If he keeps them concentrated we will have to send a force sufficiently large to defeat him in battle and to guard its own line of communication. Provisions Important Factor. Provisions Important Factor: If he scatters his troops in small bands all the principal points throughout the country in which he can operate will have to be occupied in order that he may get no provisions from any of the towns or principal ranches nor water from any of the water holes and be unable to use any of the passes across the Sierra Madres, while at the same time bodies of troops sufficiently large chase and destroy his various lands The guarding of the border has been a difficult matter since 1911, when the troops were first sent on this duty. The frontier is 1,200 miles long. Approximately six hundred of this is an imaginary line. Along the Rio Grande, which runs along the eastern half of the border, there are many fords. In other words, in general the border can be crossed easily almost anywhere. All along it are ranches. Here and there along it are a number of towns Need Cavalry on Border. We have never had enough troops to afford complete protection to all these towns and ranches. The consequence has been that in most vicinities the number of troops is not sufficient to prevent such an attack as was made at Columbus. Such attacks have been foreseen for a long time, but the war department could not put more troops along the frontier than it had available. It is a duty which should be principally performed by cavalry because of the distances to be covered and because the enemy forces almost invariably consist of mounted troops. It may be remarked that in spite of this obvious lack of troops now evident for almost five years the bill recently reported by Mr. Hay's committee of the house of representatives adds no cavalry to the army and only ten regiments of infantry. Had there been sufficient cavalry immediately available at Columbus the probabilities are that had Villa attacked at all, which would have been doubtful under such circumstances, he not only would I told them to be quiet. A few minutes later, when a second party rode down the street, we all ran up to the roof, leaving the Taylor children. On the roofs of other houses we could see the families lying at full length. We could also see a great number of fires, and the roll of the rifles was almost without a break "In the morning I saw many of the dead Mexicans in the streets while Mr. Taylor was taking me to the train. I had intended to stay for at least two weeks longer, but I lost no time in leaving after the raid. When I left the only talk was of pursuit, and cowboys and soldiers were saying that they would go into Mexico with orders or without." have been beaten, as he was, but captured or killed, and his whole force dispersed. Too Scattered for Protection. An attempt to give some protection to all parts of the border has led to a dispersion of the troops to such an extent that there are many comparatively weak points, such as Columbus. All Villa or any other leader has to do. is to determine by means of spies where they are, and then suddenly attack them. The only thing that saved the troops at Columbus from being beaten by the overwhelming numbers which Villa brought against them is the great superiority of our regulars to any troops which the Mexicans can bring against them. For the pursuit of Villa most of our cavalry undoubtedly will have to be taken. This means that the protection of the border will have to be primarily in the hands of the infantry, who are hindered by their comparative lack of mobility and the large stretches of country they will have to protect. Nature of Land. The state of Chihuahua is immediately to the south of that part of the border along which Villa has recently operated. To its west is the state of Sonora. The two are separated by the Sierra Madre. Chihuahua is about three times the size of the state of New York. About four-fifths of it is rolling plain at a height of from four thousand to eight thousand feet above sea level. In general it slopes down hill from the south to the American border. This plain is covered with brush and cacti of all kinds. The vegetation is distinguished by its thorn-bearing capacity. There is not a great deal of water, and such as there is is generally found in water holes, called tanques. While these, as a rule, are of considerable size, they are generally quite a distance apart. If Villa keeps his force concentrated, he may retreat practically due south, which means a long stern chase, with a steadily increasing line of communications and more and more danger of the mass of the Mexican people becoming convinced that we are making a real invasion instead of merely helping the federal authorities to dispose of a dangerous rebel. On the other hand, he may cross the Sierra Madres and raid some part of the Arizona border, or he may return to the east and strike some part of the Texas border. If he goes due south, the railroad of course will be available for a line of communications. If he goes toward the Sierra Madres, the railway running to Minaca will be available. If he goes in any other direction, wagon trains and pack trains will have to be used. Whatever the line of communications, they will have to be guarded to prevent Villa or any considerable part of his force from slipping around the troops after him and attacking them. As practically all Villa's men are mounted, to catch him mounted troops will have to be used. This means cavalry and field artillery. If he gets into the Sierra Madres mountain artillery only can be used. In this type of artillery the guns are dismounted from the carriages and all the parts and ammunition carried on pack mules. One Aero Squadron. We have one aero squadron which, if it can get over the country, probably will be of great use in helping to locate any considerable forces Villa may keep together. We have no reserve of men or horses to bring our regiments to war strength or to make good casualties. Therefore, even if we start with them at peace strength, we will have to let the regiments used run down in strength or else fill them up with green men and green horses. The greater the number of these the less the efficiency, with the consequence that as time goes on we will probably need a good many more men than would have been the case had we at the present time sufficient trained reservists to fill our regiments to war strength and to make good casualties. Will Resort to Guerrilla Warfare Will Resort to Guerrilla Warfare. From Villa's expressed intention to involve the United States as much as possible in order to force intervention, the probabilities are that he will not make any attempt to fight a campaign but will scatter his forces, in order to give as much trouble as possible, keep the border in an uproar, and draw our forces as far as possible into Mexico. While the administration has definitely stated its desire to do nothing more than to eliminate Villa, the problem, due to the extent of country over which he can operate and our comparative lack of troops, which prevents our speedily ending the campaign, is one which can easily involve us in difficulties which can only be settled by a general war with Mexico. GOLD AND AMMUNITION BURIED BY VILLA'S MEN Villa has 3,000 men with him now, according to the most authoritative reports. Ten thousand men, it is be lieved, will join him on the day the American invasion, is launched Men old in the wisdom of the border say Villa will have from 20,000 to 30,000 men within a week after the hated "gringo" sets foot in Mexico. Tales come out of Mexico of gold, silver, and ammunition that Villa has buried that put to shame the stories of Captain Kidd and the lost pirate treasure of Cocos island. "I should place the gold and silver in bullion and money that Villa has buried in northern Mexico at $5,000, 000," said one of the bandit's former heintenants. "The spots where this treasure is buried are known to no one on earth except Pancho Villa. The men who buried it for him were shot "Villa himself told me of one cache of treasure he made in the mountains near Guerrero, which is popularly supposed to have been his birthplace. It required a pack train of six burros to carry the sacks of money and gold and silver bars to the spot where Villa had decided to inter them "Six men dug the trench After their return to camp, Villa had them arrested on a charge of treason. They met their death in front of a line of Mausers and took the secret of the buried wealth into the other world with them. "Villa told me this because I happened to know one of the men and asked about him. 'He was a good soldier.' Villa answered, 'but I had to kill him. "Villa also has buried millions of pounds of ammunition and has sealed the secret of the caches in tragedy. I believe he has enough buried ammunition at his disposal to carry on a long campaign." MILLION IN ROAD FUND STATE HIGHWAY BOARD MAKES APPORTIONMENT. Counties Will Add $429,000 to the $619,800 Fund Created by the New Half-Mill Tax Levy. Western Newspaper Union News Service Denver—A total of $1,049,436.67 will be expended jointly by the state and various counties this year in the construction and maintenance of highways. The State Highway Advisory Board approved apportionments of $619,800 to be made by the state government to the different counties. These apportionments call for expenditures by the counties of from one to one-fifth as much as they receive from the state, although for some road construction no expenditures by the counties will be required. A total of $429,636.67 will be required by the counties to meet the conditions of the state allotments.

The state will spent $46,500 for road work on which no assistance from the counties will be required. The ratio of the requirements of expenditures by each county is determined by the importance of the road work to be done and by the financial condition of the county. Prisoner Gets $331 and Pupil $29. Colorado, during 1915, paid $29 for the education of each child in the state, while housing, feeding and guarding prisoners in the penitentiary at Cannon City, those in the reformatory at Buena Vista, boys in the Golden industrial school and inmates of the Pueblo insane asylum involved a per capita expenditure of $331, according to figures prepared by Harry E. Mulnix, state auditor. The figures show that 191,611 children attended the public schools last year. The total cost to the state was $5,611,881. Caring for 1,181 inmates in the Pueblo insane asylum cost the state $190,336. The keep of 145 prisoners in the state reformatory necessitated the expenditure of $49,559. At the penitentiary $125,445 was spent in the care of 800 prisoners, while the cost to the state for the maintenance of the Golden reformatory was $83,235. Improvements at the insane asylum, including the erection of three cottages, boiler house and laundry, and kitchen, and the construction of tunnels connecting all houses, called for an expenditure of $205,000. The penitentiary required $3,100 for the purchase of land and $3,000 was spent for machinery for the industrial school at Golden. State House Flag to Flash 600 Lamps. At the next meeting of the Board of Capitol Managers, Marshall B. Smith, one of the members, will present the specifications for the twenty-five-foot electric flag to be placed on the capitol building. The flag will replace the one now used. Patriotic organizations are interested in the installation of the electric flag. It will have 600 lamps, or a total of 15,000 candlepower. Given $10,000 for an Arm. The Supreme Court upheld a verdict of the District Court which gave Fred Kalkman $10,000 for the loss of his left arm in a grinding mill, while he was employed by the Independence Coffee and Spice Company. The verdict was opposed because of its size. Anderson on Board of Control. Governor Carlson has appointed Gustav Anderson of Denver a member of the Board of Control of the State Home and Training School for Mental Defectives to succeed Thomas Daly, whose term has expired. Will Initiate State Mining Bill. A bill for the operation of state coal mines will be initiated and submitted to the people at the general election next fall by the Colorado State Federation of Labor, the Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union and the Colorado State Grange. The measure will provide for the operation by the state of mines on state land and the marketing of the product in competition with privately owned coal companies. All labor organizations in the state will be asked to indorse the bill. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- The Freedmen's Aid society received in the last year 1914-15, $178,000, in collection from annual conferences. In the year 1911-12, there was received from the same source $133,000. The record is that we received $45,000 more during the fourth year of this quadrennium than the first year. This is a larger per cent of increase over our previous income than that of any board save the board of Sunday schools. This large increase is not due solely to the propaganda of the commission of finance. It will be giving credit to the commission to say that $10,000 of it came from that source. To this writer's view of the matter it is not that the cause is less popular, but because of the exploitation of the progress of the race as a justification of what has been done for the black man—there is too prevalent an impression that he is able to support his schools. It should not be so, for the colored man's per capita wealth is about seven dollars while that of his more fortunate white brother is thirty-three or more. The colored man has had his chance but fifty years with burdensome handicaps. His wage earnings have been small always as compared with others. He pays more for everything and received less with which to pay. He has had more children to educate in the last fifty years than anybody else comparing his numerical strength with others of the American population. The opportunity to educate his children at public expense is of the most meager kind. Think of it. In Georgia there are 1,431,812 white people and 1,176,987 colored people. The amount of money expended on white schools in 1913-14 was $2,825,588, and on the colored schools $492,906. The white and colored people nearly equal and yet upon the white children there was spent six times more of the public funds for education than upon the colored. The writer is entering no complaint but is trying to impress a few important facts as follows. The colored man cannot yet be expected to anything like meet the demands upon him for the education of his people. Further that public authorities administer the public fund to suit themselves and colored people are helpless. If therefore the masses are to be educated his white friends' North and South must help him. The colored man will do more year by year. In the Methodist church for this quadrennium we have received through conference channels and special gifts credited to conferences $641,180.59. Of this amount our colored people gave $148,000 which is a little beyond one-fourth the entire amount given by the church. The colored man is one-tenth the numerical strength of the church and a far less percentage on the per capita wealth of the church, yet gives one-fourth of the amount spent upon his education through the Freedmen's Aid society so far as the voluntary gifts of the conferences are concerned. Say, brother reader, haven't we everything for which to be thankful and not much over which to be discouraged? Are we not headed onward? If this writer does not mistake the plans now in the making the colored people will do more by double in the next quadrennium. Let us believe that the greater giving upon the part of our white people begins with this Lincoln Sunday for the reason that the On August 4, 1914, a Negro who called himself Chief Sam, sailed away from New York on the steamship Liberia. With him were a considerable company of Texas Negroes, who acknowledged him as leader and who believed his claim of descent from African rulers. He gave assurance that he had an agreement with twenty kings, and that a rich tract of 164,000 acres had been set aside as a Utopia for the pilgrims from over the sea. This week three of the pilgrims returned to New York, sped on their way by British charity. Of the others many are dead of starvation. Some have disappeared in the interior of Africa. A few are working on British plantations along the Gold coast. Chief Sam himself is a prisoner at Cape Coast Castle, charged with manslaughter as being responsible for the death of his followers. No twenty kings met Sam. There was not even one king or one acre of land. There was nothing but disillusionment and misery. It is no reproach of the Negroes of this country that Sam was able to find The Chinese are not isolated in their inability to pronounce the letter R.

Fifty years is but a day in the solution of such a problem as slavery bequeathed us, that two hundred years and fifty years of unremitting toil cannot be paid in fifty years, that the colored man is a man, not a thing, that we ought to give more and will do it. —Northern Christian Advocate. The Negro of today has a warm interest in the days when the two races understood each other better—they cling to the stories of their old white folks as they heard them from their parents. One circumstance that impressed me of this strong sentiment was a few weeks ago, when John Washington, the brother of Booker Washington, visited Birmingham. He looked forward to meeting Mrs. Harry Jones. He had known her as a child, had driven her to school, the daughter of his "young mistress" from Virginia. He recalled the pleasant memories of the past as he told me "Miss Bertha looks as her mother used to." Does this not tell of the spirit of the past? And that sentiment is strong at Tuskegee today. There are two memories of yesterday that will never die, the faithfulness of the good, old colored friend, and the rhythm of the Negro melodies. With the hall filled at Tuskegee institute with 3,000 voices, there rang out the wonderful sound of "Sweet Charity." It filled the air and the soul at the same time and closed a wonderful meeting. If every man and woman of the South could see this factory at the institute at work, in the schoolroom, in the kitchen, in the shop, molding human bodies into intelligent service, teaching them its value, giving them the lesson of making better homes, regarding higher principles and more respectful attention to those in authority, they would recognize it to be a necessity to good citizenship and useful to the community. The results will surely civilize the rural hut dwellers and bring greater prosperity to the country industry. "The world wants its work done, and civilization is simply a search for men who can do things. The whole atmosphere of the enclosure, including about 2,500 Negroes, pupils, teachers and their families, is filled with the inspiration of work, and there is no pretense, no presumption, but a spirit of gratitude for the wonderful co-operation of their white friends North and South, East and West. In Carnegie hall, New York, the white booker of Book T. Washington, held memorial services on February 13, and it is an opportune time for those of the South to pay a similar tribute to the memory of the greatest Negro the world ever knew, and arrangements are being made to hold these services in the auditorium at Tuskegee institute on the same date—Mrs. J. B. Reid in Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. The recent reopening of the Parishian opera was decidedly an event, for not only did the motor cars and their human freight give the famous Place de l'Opera a most unwarlike appearance, but the seats sold at prices ranging from $20 for orchestra stalls to $1,000 for boxes, the profits going entirely for Belgian Red Cross work. Argentina has ten meat freezing plants in active operation and three are contemplated. followers. Many white men, with schemes even more foolish and preposterous, have mustered their disciples and believers by the hundreds. The story of Sam merely proves that credulity knows no distinction of race or color, and that an impostor with plenty of "nerve" can always find a hearing.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Duke McLauren is a Negro farmer of Hoke county, North Carolina. His cotton crop last year brought him $3,000 and he has twelve bales yet unsold. He works hard, lives well, owes no debts, and the weekly paper of his county says: "He has set a worthy example to his section and the whole state." America faces the future with confidence in spite of a tremendous race problem because it knows that the Duke McLaurens are multiplying and will continue to multiply.—Kansas City Star.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP WASHINGTON.—Experiments with 5,500 honey bees recently completed by Dr. N. E. McIndoo of the Smithsonian institution have led him to the conclusion that bees can smell and taste. The two senses are combined so ences between various kinds of honey. Doctor McIndoo also discovered that bees don't like oil of peppermint. Doctor McIndoo's tests during four years convince him that the sense of smell of the bee is much keener than that of man, and that it serves him as a sense of smell and taste combined. The department of agriculture also has been interesting itself in bees and is pointing out to beekeepers their needs, especially during the long flowerless winters. The investigators of the department found, for instance, that fully 10 percent of the colonies of bees in the country are lost each winter from starration, cold and similar causes. One of the principal reasons for trouble is that the owners of colonies are not willing to allow their tiny laborers to retain a sufficient supply of the honey they have gathered to feed them even on a low ration, or in lieu of this to supply sugar sirup. Another trouble is that the owners fail to make any provision for solving the temperature problem, assuming that the bees can manage to get through the winter's cold without trouble. Plant Explorer Brings Specimens From Asia FROM wanderings and explorations in the remote provinces of China, up into Tibet, across the stretches of the Gobi desert, into Russian Turkestan, across the Altai mountains, and through the virgin forests of the upper Starting as have been the adventures of other explorers of the earth's uncharted and unmapped regions, none of these have been of more interest than have befallen Mr. Meyer in his wanderings about the unknown regions that lie above and back of China. Indeed, his fourth and latest trip was cut short and he was forced to abandon his prearranged program because his bearers were strongly distiniled to enter the wilds of a hitherto unpenetrated portion of Tibet in the face of declarations by Tibetans that should they proceed they would most certainly be boiled alive in oil. In search of plants of immediate economic importance to agriculture Mr. Meyer has traversed the fertile plains and the immense stretches of the steppes of eastern Siberia and has penetrated the jungles and the deserts where grow the rudimentary and as yet unused wild plants that may by cultivation be adapted to the use of man. Among his discoveries is the wild peach of China, believed by present-day scientists and botanists to be the parent stock. A wild pear is another discovery of this quiet Hollander on Uncle Sam's pay roll. This wild pear, sturdy, hardy and strongly resistant to diseases such as prove almost insuperable obstacles in the way of fruit growers, is to be used in tests and investigations as grafting stock, in the hope that in it may be found the solution of the problem of eradicating pear blight and other tree diseases that for years have wrought havoc in American orchards. A hitherto unknown variety of chestnut, strongly resistant to the deadly chestnut blight that has killed thousands of trees in eastern United States, was another of Mr. Meyer's discoveries. Varieties of wild grapes and wild plums that may prove invaluable to American horticulturists are also among the discoveries of this scout of science, who has brought back with him cuttings and roots and seeds to be tested at the various experiment stations of the department of agriculture. Story of the Auto, the Copper and the Negro DURING the icy downpour of sleet that engulfed Washington on a recent day, one of Major Pullman's finest stood beneath the awning at the entrance to Keith's theater incased in his water-proof cape and watched the assistance. The cop gave the iron starting handle a twirl or two, but there was no visible sign of life in the car. He tried it again, and then again and again. Gradually a crowd of sympathetic eyewitnesses gathered and offered advice. The "cop" gave his cap to a newsboy to hold and then he tried it again. For some strange reason the car refused to move. Evidently the carburetor was sick or some other ailment peculiar to automobiles had seized the machine. "Let me get a trial at dis car, boss," said a dusky son of toil, shoving his way through the little circle. No one objected and, taking a firm grip on the handle, the darkey ran it around a couple of times. A pause for breath and he tried it again. The response was instantaneous, and as the motor commenced to work everybody laughed. The ladies expressed their thanks, the crowd dissolved, and the "cop" wended his weary way back up Fifteenth street to Keith's. What the policeman had to say about automobiles as he strode along was confidential, but it was a comment which deserves to go down as "concise and peppery."

Hayden Manager DAY OR NIGHT Features of Fashion By JULIA BOTTOMLEY THE FILM MAKES A FILM OF A WOMAN IN A DRESS. One Thin Fabric Over Another. I must be a great pleasure to those who create beautiful things for fair women to look their fairest in. when a commission is given them to make party gowns. With fancies unhampered by any considerations except that of beauty they are at liberty to make apparel that does not seem to belong to this workaday world—and they do. One of these dreams come true is portrayed above. The camera shows that the artist has made the most of embroidered net and georgette crepe in an adorable gown, which is so simple the wonder is that someone else did not think of it too. But each gown tells its own story, a little different from any other. Therefore, where the discourse is of party frocks it is unending and always "to be continued." Transparent materials are the delight of modistes because they make opportunity to play with color. Procks in the order of that shown here are made in combinations of two or three colors. Blue and green, blue and pink, white and maize, and any number of others less familiar have been used in the seductive gowns and airy fabrics designed for the new season. Georgette crepe is used with lace and with net, sometimes two nets are combined, and, in white gowns especially, net and lace are liked together. The underskirt in the gown pictured is made of two sections of embroidered net flouncing, moderately full and without draping. An underbodice (over a short foundation of thin silk) is also made A. J. Handsome Little Accessories. of the flouncing, with long and very wide sleeves. An overbodice in bolero effect is made of the georgette crepe, with two rows of tiny satin-covered buttons down the front. The long overskirt of the crepe shows the influence of the pannier inspiration in the folded drapery at each side. It is gathered at the waist line across the back and caught up to the underskirt at each side, below the drapery. A wide crushed girdle of soft satin astens at the back, finished with two pointed ends less than a half yard in length. Little capes of satin and others of affetta silk are shown among the new neckwear. Capes like them in size and shape appear on frocks and coats, in the same color as the garment, but the separate cape is in white or a light color. Since silks and satins are washable, these light colored ```markdown ``` capes are about as practical as neck-wear made of sheer cottons. The cape pictured is cut to fit about the neck and to ripple at the shoulders Its edge is hemstitched, and small satin-covered buttons are set in a row at each side of the front. It is a very becoming little accessory, and quite as attractive when made of organdie as it is in silk. A cape-collar is shown, in two views, at the left of the picture. It is made of organdie and finished with a lace banding about the edge. It narrows at the front, where it slopes to a long point. Similar collars, made without lace, and finished at the edge with hemstitching and very elegantly decorated with one or two rows of hemstitching, are set in near the edge. The same neat effect is secured by inserting extremely narrow lace in the collar and finishing the edge with an equally narrow hem stitched hem. Considering these styles, one might think that high collars have suffered a total eclipse, but this is not true. The mode appears to have compromised on collars high at the back and open at the front. In suits and frocks these are conspicuous, and in many of them a narrow band of the material extends across the throat from one side of the high collar to the other, where it fastens. Fashion appears tooath to give up the smartness of the high collar, but anticipates their defeat in warm weather. There are many varieties of the cape collar, some of them with cuffs I to match. They are demure and dainty looking, undeniably becoming and bring the frock they adorn up to date. The spreading wings of the aero plane must have been the motif for a smart little close-fitting hat seen a short while ago. Its dark velvet brim was offset with a light-colored stitched crown, which was finished on a point and lapped over the front in envelope fashion. The spreading wings were of a vivid red, which gave a snappy appearance to the hat. White Marquisettes. White marquisettes with embroidered dots or rings are thirty-eight inches wide. These are among the most popular of the dressy white materials for sheer frocks. --- Small Hats. White Marguisettes RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992 FRANK S.
