Simmon's Address At Hampton Banquet VOL. XXIII. Roscoe C mon's A At H The following address was delivered by Roscoe Simmons on the 14th inst. in the Red Room of the La Salle Hotel, Chicago. The occasion was a patriotic banquet of the Greater Hampton Movement: Mr. Simmons proceeded in his usual masterful way: "No question need be asked as to the Negro in a day like this. But the Negro, through Hampton and Tuskegee, an through his millions of loyal sons, has a question to ask of the American white man. "The nation must mobilize. The nation must prepare. The nation must conserve. We hear that from the orators and hear it from the daily prints. How shall we gather our forces together? That is the word upon the lips of the statesman upon whose shoulders is the burden of this war, and in whose hand is the destiny of this the grandest place man could ever call home since the earliest beginnings of civilization. Proud of Race. "I am a Negro. I AM AN AMERICAN. In time of peace I am content with the name Negro. I am not only content, but proud of it. It is the name of that people selected by freedom herself to prove the corner of the only temple of liberty ever built to the finish. (Cheers.)" "But in time of war I cease to be a Negro, and become an American, and ask for the chance to show again that courage and devotion I have always shown in war and in peace, in slavery and in freedom. Have I ever faltered? "I would rather be an American Negro, trusting my case to the growing justice of the American white man (prolonged applause); I would rather be an American Negro, eating bread of hope and drinking waters, from the spring of faith, waving above me the Stars and Stripes, than feast from plates of gold in the palace of a king." What Do We Say? "I love my country. I speak for a race that loves this country, its past with slavery, its present, and its mighty future. We know no other land; we know no other flag. No hyphen is in our name. We speak but one tongue. We have but one word. That word is for all. It is, black or white, at home or abroad, king of emperor, you are standing against us when you stand against the Stars and Stripes. "Our faith is planted in God and in the American white man, the grandest apostle of humanity the world ever saw. The American white man built Hampton, erected Tuskegee; the American white man went to fields of war and overturned the auction block of slavery. The American white man stood on the Declaration of Independence and tore a crown from a king's brow, wrote the Constitution of the United States, and then, remembering the God of nations, went to the field and amended that Constitution in order to include me and mine in the common brotherhood. "Hampton instructs its students to think on these things. The answer of the Negro to that instruction is, we have never been disloyal to the flag; we have never deserted our benefactors; we have kept the faith, and now war delivers the challenge of barbarism to the doors of this republic, look around and see us standing by your side, saying: 'Here we are; send us on the errand of reply to the foe.' The Great Mistake. "The only mistake the American white man has permitted in the great government built up here as the challenge to the ancients who believed that the people could not direct their affairs, is in excluding 12,000,000 people from any voice in the halls of state. Not only for the Negro, but for my country and its future, I am bold enough to ask you to consider that fact in moments of less hurry and less anxiety. This is not the time for any to press grievances. "The American Negro is more concerned now with standing with you, in field and shop, and on the tented grounds of battle; in standing with hoe and plow to feed with life his own soldiers and those left behind, or with gun and deadly aim to feed with death the soldiers of a distant throne. "If there are those who by word or deed seek to rob the nation of the rewarded service of the Negro, the duty of the American white man is to stay the word and shatter the deed. The Negro and white in chains fought to make the nation. In chains he fought to save the nation. Now he asks to be permitted to defend the nation. Cabins—But! "Poverty may be our lot. Books may be mysteries to many among us. Cabins may be our homes, but we would have you remember that no disloyalty is in our record, no traitors have belonged to our Race, no hands among us have tried to tear the Stars from the flag, and no Negro in vengeance or maddened ambition ever struck down a President. "What else can we do to prove our Americanism? Whatever you tell us to do we shall do. Wherever you lead us we shall follow; your country is our country, and your God our God. All I am, all I am to be, all my Race is, all my Race is to be, came and will come by your side, under the American flag. The founder of Hamp- State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc.

C., May 16.—The third Spingarn medal was awarded here last night to Harry T. Burleigh, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational Church, held under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Moorfield Storey of Boston, the nation al president of the association; presided; the presentation being made by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States senator from Washington. The Spingarn medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor; the candidate being chosen by a committee of award which includes Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, Hon. William Howard Taft, John Hope, president of Morehouse College, Atlanta; Dr. James H. Dillard, the director of the Slater and Jeannes funds, and Oswald Garrison Villard of the New York Evening Post. Their choice is not limited to any one field, whether that be intellectual, spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other; so the winning of the Spingarn medal has come to be the greatest distinction which can be conferred upon an American Negro. The medal is of gold of the value of one hundred dollars, and is donated by Dr. Joel E. Spingarn, the chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, formerly professor of comparative literature in Columbia University, at present in training for his major's commission at Madison Barracks, N. Y. may Cabbould royal be song from dance truck our us lead our my name the amp- Harry T. Burleigh, the winner of the medal for 1916, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's mouth water, from John McCormack to Kitty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on more concert programs during the past season more times than the work of any other contemporaneous composer; and across the ocean Burleigh's "The Young Warrior," with words by the Negro poet, James Weldon Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandonai, has become a sort of patriotic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about a hundred songs, a few festival anthems for church chorus, and a volume of plantation melodies which he compiled in the effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River," "The Grey Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons; a superb setting of Walt Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors," "The Soldier," and "Jean." "The Five Songs of Lawrence Hope," writes a critic in the Boston Transcript of March 10, "probably represent Mr. Burleigh's best work. Here are haunting melodies, accompaniments rich in detail, yet not overwritten, striking bits of delineation, and much skill in the wedding of music to words." Regarding "The Soldier," A. Walter Kramer in Musical America wrote: "Wars produce a mass of inconsequential literary and music stuff. The present European conflict is no exception. . . . But I think that this Burleigh setting of Rupert Brooke's inspired lines will be among the immortal art-products of the Great War when the record is made." And these creative achievements have necessarily been snatched from a life of routine musical toil by which Mr. Burleigh has earned his daily bread. Since 894 he has been soloist at St. George's Church, one of New York's most aristocratic congregations, and for seventeen years he has sung at the Temple Emanuel as well. These achievements become doubly significant when one realizes how Mr. Burleigh has worked his way forward almost without aid, handicapped by color as well as poverty. It is related how Mr. Burleigh as a boy in Erie, Pa., contracted pneumonia from standing in the snow outside the drawing-room window of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell, where his family was in service, in order to hear Rafael Joseffy play; and was given a chance to open the door for the guests when later Teresa Carreño played at the Russell home in consequence. Working there as a stenographer until he was 26, in 1892, he came to New York and out of 500 applicants was given a scholarship in the National Conservatory of Music, where he studied for four years. By teaching during his last year there, together with assisting the secretary, the mother of the well known American composer, E. A. Mac Dowell, he was able to liquidate his indebtedness to the founder of the institution. During one summer he worked at a hotel in Saratoga in order to make enough to carry him through until the following Christmas. But when in 1894 the young musician, standing upon the threshold of his career, secured the position of soloist at St. George's in competition with sixty other applicants, his path became much easier. His talent for interpretation of his own folk songs became widely known and he was in demand to sing in concerts and in the musical programs of the leading mansions of fashionable New York and elsewhere. The achievements last year which won Mr. Burleight the Spingarn medal are but the mature fruitage of a long life of consecrated labor. This is the third year the medal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. E. Just of Howard University for original researches in biology, Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. Last year the governor of Massachusetts presented the second medal in Boston to Lieut. Col. Charles Young of the Tenth Cavalry, U. S. Army, for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia. RACE NEWS Spring City. Pa., May 15.

Washington, May 19.—A training camp for Negro officers will be established at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, where 1,200 candidates for commissions in Negro regiments of the new army will be trained. A draft of 250 men will be taken from the colored regiments of the regular army, selected from the noncommissioned officers and privates who have shown quilifications fitting them for command and assigned to the camp. The remainder will come from Negro regiments of the national guard and from graduates of educational institutions for Negroes. Nashville, Tenn.—The leading Negro Business College in the world, according to the latest bulletin, has passed the experimental stage, owning equipment to the value of $14,000. At present there is enrolled at the school 105 young Negro men and women who are preparing themselves for practical and useful business careers. The business college was founded by Prof. George W. Henderson, a young Memphis Negro, who is possessed of unusual literary attainments. He holds eleven different diplomas, including a college degree NO 40 from Roger Williams University, at Nashville, Tenn. Prof. Henderson is considered the champion shorthand writer and typist of the Negro race and is also an expert in accountancy and commercial law. In addition he has won recognition as a writer and essayist, being termed the "Black Herbert Kaufman." New York, N. Y., May 18.

FIRST IN MANY LINES The following compilation of curious facts has been going the rounds of the press, being credited to the Tennessee Valley News: It is interesting to note who were the first Negroes to accomplish certain feats in America. For instance: Macon Allen was the first Negro to be admitted to the American Bar, receiving this honor in 1845, Estevanico, "Little Steven," a Negro was the discoverer of Arizona, and one of the first persons to cross the American continent. The first martyr in the Boston massacre. March 5, 1770 was the Negro soldier, Crispus Attucks. Dr. A. T. Augustus was appointed surgeon of the Seventeenth Regiment, United States Colored Volunteers. He is said to have been the first colored man commissioned in the medical department of the United States Army. Bean Johnson, of Albany, Ga., enjoys the distinction of putting the first bale of cotton on the market in the State, and by this feat he has acquired the title of the "First bale man." About 1754, Benjamin Banneker, a noted Negro astronomer with imperfect tools constructed a clock, which told the time and struck the hour. This was the first clock constructed in America. Henry Blair, of Maryland was the first Negro to receive a patent on an invention. This invention was a corn harvester. --- COLORADO STATESMAN FROM TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS THAT COVER THE WEEK'S EVENTS.

President Issues Proclamation. President Wilson's proclamation, put- ting into effect the selective draft pro- vision of the war army bill, signed last night, follows in part: “A proclamation by the president of the United States: “Whereas, Congress has enacted and the president has on the 18th day of May, one thousand nine hundred and seventeen, approved a law which con- tains the following provisions: “Section 5.

MANY of our subscribers in Denver and the state have requested information from us as to the reason for the special quotation on the registration card: "If person is of African descent, tear off this corner," and we must confess our inability to give any other reply than the literal meaning. They ask further, why persons of African descent should be designated and not Indian, Mexican, Japanese, Chinese or any other? We would be glad if the representatives of the War Department in Colorado would give us some definite information, as our people, relying upon the President's message to the people of the U. S. A., in which he speaks of United America—not a class or specially qualified America, but an America as ONE, in his address to Congress on our entering the war—will act in good faith. If the President's words must be taken seriously, and in the rejection of ex-President Roosevelt and his volunteer corps, there seems to be definiteness with President Wilson, when he said: "It would be very agreeable to me to pay Mr. Roosevelt and the allies the compliment of sending to their aid one of our most distinguished public men, an ex-president who has rendered many conspicuous public services and proved his gallantry in many striking ways. Politically, too, it would no doubt have a very fine effect and make a profound impression. But this is not the time for ANY ACTION NOT CALCULATED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE IMMEDIATE SUCCESS OF THE WAR." Our fellow citizens are asking whether Mr. Wilson has seen the registration card, and if he has, whether he feels the people of African descent constitute an action that will not contribute to the immediate success of the war. France and Britain have been using persons of African descent from the time they entered the war, nearly three years ago. Kindly give us the desired information which we will gladly publish and avoid any misconstruction by these particular American-African descendants. LAWLESSNESS INCREASES IN SOUTH. HOWEVER loyal, however patriotic, however much in the order of the Roman Centerion servant of old, as the famous Roscoe Conkling Simmons, Negro orator of Bedouin-like habits expressed in his speech at Chicago before a body of white men, he was making his great patriotic display, "Whatever you tell us to do we shall do, wherever you lead us we shall follow," the Colorado Statesman will not cease to lift its voice against lawlessness and mob rule, the damnable vampires that prey on the vitals of any nation, until it is stamped out of this country that champions obedience to law and order by adopting the principles of the Magna Charta. Not less than four lynchings (to say nothing of what is unknown) during this month, occurring in Shreveport, Louisana, Fulton Kentucky, and Memphis, Tennessee, have been added to this shameful act of white citizens in the Southland, and whether the victims be guilty or not, under the constitutional law they are subjected to a trial by jury as any other criminal. No wonder the nations that our government charge with savagery, barbarism and atrocities of the most terrible form throw in our faces the gentle retaliation—LOOK AFTER YOUR LYNCH LAWS AND FIND A REMEDY. Says Roscoe Simmons, "this is not the time for any to press grievances," and not having many Negro leaders to press our grievances we cannot do like the Irish or the Russian, but those of us who have escaped the mob in the South can only continue in fervent prayer that the exodus of our people from the South may so rapidly increase that the mob and their supporters will not find another Negro in the years to come, on whom to vent their barbarous and blood-thirsty passions. "Ethiopia will stretch out her hands and cry for deliverance," and may the great Creator hasten that time if it takes a European war and more, as we are taught that we wear His image and likeness like any other member of the human race. A telegram protesting against the lynching of Eli Persons on Tuesday last was sent to the President by the National Equal Rights League. Referring to a report that the mob intended also to lynch two more Negro suspects, the telegram said: "We call upon you, as the head of the Federal Government, to make every effort to stay this further blot on the civilization and humanity of this Christian nation. Our laws forbid the burning alive of rats in a trap. We implore you, while saying much for justice and humanity for foreign nations, to speak out for justice to 12,000,000 colored American citizens and to stop stirring of resentments. America is rivaling Germany and Turkey in barbaric atrocities. Will you do something?" The telegram was signed by Allen W. Whaley, William D. Brigham and William Monroe Trotter. LARGER HUMAN LIBERTY WHEN the Rev. Charles Mead of Trinity Methodist Church addressed an audience on Monday last in the Empress Theater on "The Larger and Broader Human Liberty, the Cause of America's Entry Into the War," he struck the keynote or fundamental of this nation which brought her into power meriting that recognition of the nations of the world as to make them feel the seriousness of her decision to assist in overthrowing autocracy and to bring about universal democracy, with a peace to the world that will not be so easily interfered with or hampered for the years to come. Said the speaker, a man of deep intellectuality, possessing great oratorical powers and wonderful moral suasion. "A false conception of real human liberty leads to destruction, while a true conception leads to power of the individual, power of the nation, and this is the inception of this republic when she overthrew British sovereignty in 1776, won the wars of 1812-14 to insure her stability, determined on the preservation of the Union in the internal trouble of 1861-65, when a deprivation of HUMAN LIBERTY in the enslavement of millions of her citizens formed a growing menace of gigantic proportions to the foundations of democracy already established, hearkened to the cry of suffering Cuba in 1898, when after unsuccessful attempts to remove Spanish yoke by peaceable negotiations, war had to be declared resulting in the defeat of Spain and the achievement of the great victory of HUMAN FREEDOM, and now, today a foe, threatening the very pillars of our democracy, not ours alone, but the world's, with its intent of compelling the acceptance of its dominating autocratic influence, surely," continued the Rev. Mead, "America, jealous of her priceless treasure being a strong and ardent supporter of a democracy so dearly bought, could not allow this arch-enemy to trample underfoot what she has maintained for all these years." No one who had the privilege of hearing this exponent of American ideals and principles could be otherwise than touched with a deep sense of patriotism at this perilous moment in our history, and for this reason the heads of our government must be careful in guarding against anything that may mean a semblance of un-American action. We join this reverend gentleman who has made a great impression on us, and is making a greater impression on the public as a true Christian character, having the moral courage to tell us the nation's platform, in pleading for A LARGER AND BROADER HUMAN LIBERTY, but the Colorado Statesman comes a little nearer and pleads for that liberty to be extended practically to 12,000,000 of citizens at home, who through the gloud of their fathers on the altar of sacrifice, have pledged themselves for country and right, and who are capable of enjoying this liberty and freedom that only the oppressed can really and truly appreciate. More men like Rev. Charles Mead in our community will help us to have the right conception of HUMAN LIBERTY and possibly help to hasten the time when CHARITY will extend her help at HOME, as it does ABROAD. Both Patriotism and Prudence Call for the Practice of Thrift Now Both Patriotism and Prudence Call for the Practice of Thrift Now By S. W. STRAUS President of the American Society for Thrift As time advances and demands, in ever-increasing amount, are made on the resources of the country in order to supply the needs of the military situation, we shall see greater and still greater need for thrift. Let us hope that conditions here will never duplicate those abroad. No matter what the situation may become with us, we will find the practices of thrift of particular value. The following appeal for thrift in England can be taken as the theme for some solemn thinking in this country: "Ten shillings saved, say on feasting, equals eight cartridges. Bottle of champagne equals 400 cartridges. Lady's new hat equals four steel helmets. New dress equals four service rifles. Diamond tiara equals one fieldgun. Motorcar equals airplane. Piano equals 100 shells. Lapdog equals 20 shells." The department of agriculture has been quick to recognize the necessity of thrift in the present emergency and has not only sent out many suggestions, but is helping in concrete ways to increase the nation's food supply. If we should send 5,000,000 soldiers and nurses to the front, there would still be more than 95,000,000 citizens left in civil life. Let them be organized into a mighty army of thrift, 95,000,000 strong! Can you imagine the tremendous strength of this republic if every man, woman and child set about the task of eliminating waste? Bear in mind always that it is only through thrift that the nation will be able to get the last ounce of strength at its command. Let us remember, also, that voluntary thrift will possibly make unnecessary compulsory thrift. It is easier to begin giving up unnecessary things now and get used to it, than to be compelled to give up actual comforts later on. Both patriotism and prudence should actuate us to practice thrift immediately. In view of the added need of thrift, it is pleasing to note that the 250,000 schoolchildren of Philadelphia are being taught thrift in a very practical way. They are taking advantage of the shortage of paper, and are gathering up all the old papers and magazines that have hitherto been wasted, and are bringing them to school. On a given day each week these papers are sold. This is not a new idea, and it has been written about a number of times, but there is no better way of giving the children a concrete example of conservation and thrift. All the studying the children could do would not produce the results that really doing the thing themselves would. Waste paper from the classrooms alone of the Philadelphia public schools has brought in about $20,000 a year. Effort to Purchase Friendship of Other Nations Is Futile Policy Effort to Purchase Friendship of Other Nations Is Futile Policy Among the mistakes natural to a government that has been at peace as long as has that of the United States, none is more fatal toward world respect than the effort to purchase the friendship of other nations by cash, or equivalent, consideration. Governments, like individuals, are respected not because of what they have, but because of what they are. Governments that are strong, honest, intelligent and honorable are respected automatically, just as are citizens possessing the same qualities. Friendship and respect are not purchasable commodities. If they were, they'd be on sale, like eggs or buttonhooks or small pea beans, and a man could drop into the nearest department store and say, "Send me up sixteen friends, mostly blondes, and a couple of yards of respect that won'travel or crock." We of the United States must learn that we can't buy the friendship and respect of other nations. We must earn it. And we can't earn it vicariously. We must earn it by the strength of our characters, the loftiness of our aims, the cleanness of our souls, and the fineness of our national honor. To do otherwise is to emulate the sap-headed son of wealth who thinks, by buying wine for everybody, he is accumulating friends. People may drink the wine. But they do so while saying to themselves, "The poor sucker! I wonder what asinine trick he'll try next." Men and women are liked and respected because they are honest, honorable, fearless and clean. Nations are liked for the same qualities. Whereby, if the United States wants the friendship and respect of other nations, let it appeal to those other nations on the basis, and the only basis, that makes friendship and respect possible. Giving of Adequate Physical Training to Children, Duty of Nation Giving of Adequate Physical Training to Children, Duty of Nation By CHARLES W. ELIOT Former President of Harvard University This country needs a citizens' army and navy of a thoroughly democratic sort, trained under conditions which would interfere as little as possible with the industries of the country. But it is of the utmost consequence that up to the twentieth year whatever training may be given to the boys and girls, which would be available later for the young soldiers and sailors, should also be equally available in the industries and homes of the country. The giving of adequate physical training to all children is a national interest, both in peace and in war; and it is therefore justifiable that the national government should spend part of the income it raises by taxation in contributing to and making sure of that physical training. This is precisely what the Swiss Federation does. It makes small contributions to the training which the cantons and municipalities supply in all Swiss schools; and then it maintains a body of inspectors to make sure that the work is really done. I submit that that would be a valuable new function for the department of the interior through its bureau of education. With this function there will be associated another of national importance—aid to practical training in agriculture, personal hygiene, public health, diet, and the household arts—in all American schools of every grade, with national inspection of the work done. All this instruction is in the interest of the entire nation, without distinction of section, race or religion; and it ought not to be left to the discretion of the states and municipalities without government supervision. It is a strong case of "each for all and all for each." Only One Week More SUITS for spring, suits for summer, suits for early autumn, all are included in this our greatest sale.

Harry Hayden of 2953 Glenarm Place, popular resident of several years, was struck by an automobile electric at the corner of Sixteenth and Welton streets last Wednesday. The chauffeur went on without stopping. He did not know Mr. Hayden was an employee of the State Capitol until the matter was reported to the secretary of state, and A.

PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. East Twenty-third avenue and Washington street. Pastor—J. A. Thos.-Hazell, S.T.B. Sermon topics Sunday, May 27th—11 a. m., "Christ's Other Self"; 5:30 p. m., "Confirmation." In spite of the inclement weather last Sabbath, the services were carried out as scheduled. Mr. Gatewood very effectively rendered his solos in connection with both services. The recitative selections of "Who Shall Ascend Into the Hill of the Lord?" by Misses Galena Andrews, Mabel Cole and Mr. Wilfred Brickler were pathetically engaged in. The choruses were abnormal in their expressions. Both sermons were appropriate to the occasion. The services tomorrow promise to be up to the standard. Special music and sermon to commemorate "Penticost." At the confirmation services at 5:30 p. m. Miss Julia Wilson will be publicly received by letter from the Twenty-third Avenue Presbyterian Church to the People's. Miss Wilson was teacher of Booker T. Washington and wife at Hampton Institute and Mr. Jos. D. D. Rivers. After a number of years she established a school at Baxter Springs, Kan., for colored children. She contributed largely to the educational and evangelical needs of the colored people. As late as November, 1915, she ministered out of the largeness of her soul to the physical needs of Paul Brickous, one of her scholars whom she had not seen for twenty years. At his death Miss Wilson bore all the expenses in connection with this young man's funeral and erected a tombstone on the grave at Riverside cemetery. Her identifying herself with the People's Church brings with her her one desire to help the work and cooperate with our members. The session welcomes her most cordially. May others of her kind follow her example. CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M E. CHURCH. Twenty-third and Lawrence Streets. A. M. Ward, Minister. Phone Main 5474.

San Francisco, Cal., May 23.—Negroes of California are actively recruiting a regiment. One battalion already has been signed up and it is said that no difficulty is anticipated in forming two more. W. A. Hayne, formerly of the Tenth United States cavalry, in which he served ten years successively as private, corporal, sergeant and sergeant major, is organizing the regiment. Every man in the regiment with the exception of the colonel and lieutenant colonel will be a Negro. Among the men already signed are many who have seen service in Negro regiments. LOS ANGELES NEWS. The fourth annual recital of the Wilkins School of Music, which was held on the 15th inst., proved to be one of the most enjoyable musical treats of the season. A large audience greeted the audience. A temporary Y. M. G. A. building is being erected at Ninth and Hemlock streets. Plans are on foot to erect a structure to cost $80,000, including equipment. It is always a pleasure to be entertained at the famous Cadillac Cafe, but on May 11th, Mr. N. B. Murray put on a banquet in honor of Mr. John Winston of Chicago. It is needless to say that the menu was the best the market affords, to which a score of gentlemen did ample justice. Miss Leanetta Harrison of 1674 East Fiftieth Place, entertained a few friends on the 18th inst. Whist, sandwiched with vocal and instrumental music, made a program that was very much enjoyed. The house was very tastefully decorated with a variety of flowers, as was also the dining table, which groaned under a sumptuous menu, which was very much relished by the guests. A late hour found the crowd dispersing after voting Miss Harrison an ideal entertainer. GIRL GRADUATE TWICE ON COM MENCEMENT PROGRAM. A recent issue of the New Age of Los Angeles, Cal., had the following to say of Miss Naida Portia McCullough, formerly of Denver: "A high tribute, not only to the rare talent and training, but to her general good scholarship and excellent deportment, was paid Miss Naida Portia McCullough Wednesday night at Trinity Auditorium. Miss McCullough was accorded the unusual honor of appearing twice on the Commencement program of Los Angeles High School on the occasion of the graduating of the Winter General Manager's Office The High Cost of Service Under all circumstances the public demands adequate and dependable telephone service. To meet this demand throughout our territory, immense sums have been added to our plant investment during the last few years. During this period the cost of every item of material that enters into the telephone business has been increased. The result is not only an abnormally high investment, but it means, also, that the cost of keeping our plant alive and working is proportionately high. This confronts us with the problem of making our revenues balance with operating and maintenance costs and dividend requirements. Inadequate revenues imperil plant efficiency, which, in turn, imperils the efficiency and adequacy of the service. And that is a problem in which the public and the Company are mutually interested. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co 回 Class of '17. Miss McCullough accompanied the chorus in a number and appeared independently at the piano with Chopin's "Valse Brilliante." Miss Naida is one of the two charming daughters of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. McCullough of West Thirty-seventh street. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Rehearsals of the "Messiah" by the new choral club under the direction of Mrs. C. D. De Frantz are progressing nicely. More than fifty were at the rehearsal last Thursday evening. The new books have now come and have been distributed, and the most of the principal solos have been assigned. From now on rapid progress is expected to be mode. Rehearsals will be held every Thursday evening at the Y. M. C. A. building until further notice. The Saturday Morning Bible-Story Club of younger boys is doing well. It now has twenty-two members, and more are joining at each meeting. Theodore Anderson is president of the club. Refreshments are served after each lesson, and a short march is made, after which games are played. In the absence of Secretary Bell, who has gone to fill an engagement in Boulder, the Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer, pastor of Scott M. E. Church, presided at the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon. The address was delivered by the Rev. A. E. Reynolds, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, and president of the Ministerial Alliance. It was greatly enjoyed by the persons present. Miss M. M. Hanna of Kansas City presided at the piano. A flag presentation and a patriotic service will be held next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The program will be interesting. Mrs. A. F. Bond will present the flag, which will be accepted in an address by Mr. T. S. Rector on behalf of the committee of management and the association. Mrs. Grace Wordsworth, whose husband commanded a battalion of colored troops during the Civil war, will speak on "Reminiscences." The principal address will be delivered by Mr. Geo W. Gross on "The Place We Hope This Flag to Fill in the Hearts of Our Young Men." Music of a patriotic nature will be rendered. Miss Vere Ward will be at the piano. Everybody is cordially invited.

It is more important, more interesting to you than that given by the paper or magazine from the outside world. It is the first reading matter you should buy. Each issue of this paper gives to you just what you will consider The Right Kind of Reading Matter This is an annual affair, during which all profits are eliminated, for the purpose of adding new customers—through old and new profit to the extent of a 25 or 33 per cent saving. The purchase of $5,000 worth of men's fine straw hats worth up to $2.50, to be sold at $1.35 each, is one feature of the sale—the purchase of the Men's Shoes from the Regent store on 16th street is another feature of the sale-$4.65 a pair for shoes worth $7.50 and $8. But throughout the store, cut prices for this particular event, whether it is a bottle of Jet Oil that you buy for 5c instead of 10c, or a box of Shinola Shoe Polish for 5c instead of 10c, or a pair of shoes, or Men's Clothing, or Furnishings, or Women's Apparel, you will find a uniform saving throughout the entire stock this week. MEMORIAL DAY HERE has not in the world's history been so splendid and continuing a testimonial of a nation's gratitude as the United States has paid to its citizen soldiers; but it has not measured up to their deserts. The last and most impressive of all tributes is that which comes from the heart, bespoken by the faltering voice, the moistening eye, the quickening pulse. It is the human testimony to the fact that as a nation we have not forgot—the pledge, on this privileged day of a glorious anniversary, that we will never forget—the promise that the future shall bring forth sons and daughters capable and willing to sustain with equal sacrifices the structure of human liberty and national security that these veterans raised. Looking upon the spectacle, the nation will be moved to renew its assurance that, after all, there are things in this world worth fighting for, even dying for; that there are worse fates than to give one's life for a cause worthy the giving. There will be a new and resolute determination that if need shall come, as come it may, this nation again will rise to its obligation and its duty, inspired by the example of these men who preserved for us the institutions that have been made sacred by their sacrifices. O MEN WHO FIRED LAST SHOTS OF THE WAR AFTERWARD MET COLUMBUS (Ohio) man claims to have fired the last shot of the war of Secession—David, N. Osor, the son—David N. Ossy, the Columbus Dispatch states. He was a member of Company F, Ninth Ohio cavalry. On the morning of April 17, 1865, that command was near Durham Station, N. C. It was keeping close watch on Gen. Joe Wheeler's cavalry, which was on the opposite side of an extensive swamp. Part of the Union cavalry was ordered to dismount and wade across the swamp to distract the Confederates, while the rest constructed a corduroy bridge. They used their carbines so vigorously that the Confederates surmised that a very considerable force was coming at them, and the road builders got along fine with their bridge. Near the other edge of the swamp Osyor says a Confederate bullet just clipped his sergeant's chevron and the skin on his arm. Looking for the source of the bullet, he spied the long barrel of a gun and the gray legs of a Confederate soldier in the forks of a tree in front of him, and he fired at them. He saw the legs withdrawn and the owner of them crawl slowly away. Just then a flag of truce came in sight and the Union men were ordered to cease firing. The occurrence, Osyor said, did not impress him at the time, but that flag of truce was really the sign of the end of the Civil war, for the general surrender came soon and the troops were sent home. A strange part of the story is that long after the war Osyor met at Birmingham, Ala., a man named Amos Thompson, who was lrime—said he had been wounded in the Confederate service and, comparing notes, they established to the satisfaction of both that Thompson was the man who was in the tree on the edge of the Durham swamp back in 1865, had shot at Osyor and been shot in turn by him. Osyor's bullet struck Thompson in the knee and made him a cripple for life. They agreed that they had fired the very last shot on each side in the Civil war. Duty Before Men of Today. In an address at the Homewood cemetery, Pittsburgh, Rev. J. E. Norcross of the Shady Avenue Baptist church said: "We are living in the best period of the world's history. In spite of war and rumors of war humanity is advancing. The rise and fall of nations form stages in the evolution of the race. National crises are not mere happenings; they are the meeting places of broken laws. God waits for nations to move, but God moves while we wait. Nations, as well as individuals, reap their harvests. Much will be required of us. To falter will be beckoned cowardice. Our strength will be equal to omnipotence if we are aligned with God. It is our specific mission to help America fulfill her unique destiny." TRIBUTE TO GRANT AS IMMORTAL SOLDIER AND STATESMAN THE FOLLOWING poem in tribute to Gen. U. S. Grant by Dr. Thomas Calver was read by the author at the exercises celebrating Grant's birthday at the Metropolitan M. E. church, C street and John Marshall place, Washington. GRANT. When history uplifts her scroll Within the beams of Glory's blaze, Few names are seen upon the roll Reflecting fully all the rays; P The stain of selfish thirst for fame, Undue ambition's fatal blight, The itching palm's enclosing shame Too often dim the golden light. But when the shining name appears Of one whose strength was truth and worth; Who no ambition knew, nor fears, Save for the country of his birth; Who had no thought of selfish ends, But fought to win his country's fight And change her foes to loyal friends— That name shows full effulgence bright. The youthful soldier's laurels green; The citizen's plain, useful ways; The victor's glad, yet modest mien, When honored with a nation's praise; The manly heart that could but feel Compassion for a fallen foe; The statesman's patriotic zeal— All on his name their glory throw. "Unknown" GO forth where the far-flung prairies lie— Where, neath the blue of a bending sky, Bright roses beam, and beckon and say— Take of our bounties this beaut'ous day, Scatter them—scatter them deep— Scatter them o'er where heroes sleep. Go to the hills where the laurel grows— Where soft winds sigh—where the tempest blows, Gather the choicest gifts of God That spring from the rich and rugged sod; Scatter them—scatter them deep— Scatter them o'er where heroes sleep. Go to the tomb where the chieftain lies, Where, carved in rock, of heroic days A story is told—of vict'ries won— Honors achieved—of duties well done; Then softly approach that spot pressed down, Where the stone lies low, the name "Unknown"— "Unknown"—unknown in the sight of God? He knoweth who sleeps beneath the sod. 'Twas a mother's boy—a brave, loving lad Who knew no glory save his Nation's good; Earth's bosom holds him in sacred embrace. Nor does nor storms shall his glory efface. PHIL KEARNEY EVER AT FRONT OF THE BATTLE Federal Leader Who Fell at Chantilly Left a Memory That Survivors of Conflicts of the Civil War Delight in Hon- oring. O THE soldierly legend is still on its journey,— Twas the day when Jameson, flerce Berry, and Birney, Against twenty thousand he rallied the field. Where the red volleys poured, where the clamor rose highest, Where the dead lay in clumps through the dwarf oak and pine, Where the aim from the thicket was surest and highest— No charge like Phil Kearny's along the whole line. When the battle went ill, and the bravest were solemn, Near the dark Seven Pines, where we still held our ground, His sword waved us on and we answered the sign; Loud our cheer as we rushed, but his laugh rang the louder, "There's the devil's own fun, boys, along the whole line!" How he strode his brown steed! How we saw his blade brighten In the one hand still left—and the reins in his teeth! He laughed like a boy when the hollidays heighten, But a soldier's glance shot from his visor beneath. Up came the reserves to the melee infernal, Asking where to go in—through the clearing or pine? "Oh, anywhere! Forward! 'Tis all the same, Colonel; You'll find lovely fighting along the whole line!" Oh, evil the black shroud of night at Chantilly, That hid him from sight of his brave men and tried! Foul, foul sped the bullet that clipped the white lily, The flower of our knighthood, the whole army's pride! Yet we dream that he still—in that shadowy region Where the dead form their ranks at the wan drummer's sign— Rides on, as of old, down the length of his legion, And the word still is "Forward!" along the whole line. —Edmund Clarence Stedman. "Columbia" ITALIANS DRIVE TOWARD TRIESTE CAPTURE 9,000 AUSTRIANS IN ADVANCE ALONG TEN-MILE FIRING LINE. FRENCH CAPTURE 8,600 BRITISH MILITARY TRANSPORT TRANSYLVANIA SENT DOWN WITH LOSS OF 413. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Rome, May 15.—Following ten hours' terrific bombardment Italian attacking forces broke through strongly-organized Austrian lines in the Carso, captured Jaimand and took 9,000 prisoners. The war office statement announcing the victory said 130 aeroplanes participated in the fighting, and that fire from ten British artillery batteries aided. The breach in the enemy lines was effected along the sector from Castagnavizza to the sea and likewise in the area south of the Boscomala road around Passi, Boscomalo and Locati. Around Gorizia, the statement said, a strong point on the slopes of San Marco had been captured and progress made around Monte Santo and Vodice. The front from Castagnavizza to the sea covers nearly fourteen miles from a point a little to the north of Gorizia due south to the Gulf of Panzano. Paris.—Eight thousand six hundred German prisoners have been taken by French troops since May 1 in their offensive between Soissons and Aubervie, the official statement asserted, detailing further heavy losses inflicted on the enemy in repulse of violent attack on the Vauclerc plateau. The Vauclerc attack was a bloody check to the Germans. Their troops were literally thrown back to the starting point of the counter-thrust. Prisoners captured were identified as belonging to four different German divisions, indicating that the enemy attack was by a force of not less than 60,000 men. Lon'on.—The British transport Transylvania was torpedoed on May 4, with the loss of 413 persons, in the Mediterranean. The following official statement was given out: "The British transport Transylvania, with troops aboard in the Mediterranean on May 4, resulting in the following losses: Twenty-nine officers and 373 of other ranks, also the ship's captain, Lieut. S. Brenell, and one officer and nine men of the crew." U. S. WAITS ONLY WORD "GO." Vice President Declares America Well Prepared to Get Into War. Cleveland, Ohio. — Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, here to attend the fiftieth anniversary celebration of the Scottish Rite Masons of the Northern jurisdiction, valley of Cleveland, declared America is well prepared now to get into the war. "All we are waiting for is the final word to go. Then watch us," the vice president said. "When we get forcibly into the fight," he continued, "we shall stay in it until at the conference of nations there shall be written a guarantee that the right of every people on earth to manage and control others shall be gone forever and we are assured posterity shall not have to suffer from German power as we have suffered." INDICT NINETEEN HIGHGRADER6. U. S. Grand Jury at Cheyenne Holds Accused Men in Cripple Creek Case. Cheyenne, Wyo.—A United States grand jury, after listening to evidence for nine days, indicted nineteen men in connection with "highgrading" in the Cripple Creek district, Colo., which is alleged to have netted several hundred thousand dollars. Seven of the indictments were suppressed, because the defendants are not in custody. Indictments against the following were made public: John Muehlhauen, Charles E. Reed, Charles Daniel, Daniel McLeod, Victor Peterson, Carl Muehlhausen, Mark T. Snodgrass and John Cusack of Cheyenne; Dennis F. Sullivan and George J. Heber of Denver; Antonio Cuaz, alias James Blondo, alias Joe Nex, of San Francisco; Frank Cochrane, alias William Green, of Victor, Colo. In addition to an indictment against each man charging "highgrading" all were indicted for conspiracy. Bail of $5,000 or $10,000 was fixed and several of the defendants have given bond. Pershing Confers With President. Washington—Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, who will command the division of regular army veterans which is to be sent to France "at the earliest practicable moment," called at the White House and paid his respects to President Wilson. As commander-in-chief of the army and navy Mr. Wilson undoubtedly gave Gen. Pershing final instructions regarding the part the American contingent is to play in the great world war in Europe.

A We have been in line for 3,000 pairs of Women's fine Shoes for Thirty Days ```markdown ``` F H What Well Dressed Women Will Wear Just at the moment when womankind was ready and waiting for it, there entered the "service sult." It is a new garment for the new woman, and it has been given this name, duly christened by the patent office. It is the spirit of the times translated into apparel—a thing that we have been waiting for without knowing that we were waiting until it arrived. Therefore it is welcomed with glad acclaim, like that which greeted the airplanes that made the heart to sing THE WORLD'S FIRST WOOL COAT THE COTTON GARDEN 1 IT IS A KHAKI SERVICE SUIT. at the accomplished conquest of the air. The "service suit" is made of khaki, and it is good to look at, with convenience and grace and stability to appeal to the good sense of the out-of-doors woman. And just as soon as the out-of-doors woman sees it, she is captivated—and all is over except delivering the parcel. For camping, fishing, golfing, tennis, gardening, beekeeping and farming, it is destined to become the conventional suit. The new garment is cut along lines that are correct for women, and is no more masculine than a party frock is. It is made trouser fashion, with the full trousers plaited to a shapely blouse; it is well tailored and fastens with bone buttons across the back. The fastening at the back is covered by a wide belt. Nothing about it can come apart and no corset need be worn ```markdown ``` 1 X GARDENING SET OF CRETONNE. under it; in fact, undergarments may be reduced to a single union suit. The trousers fasten with a small cuff above the shoetops and defy the most enterprising mosquito or the most aggressive bee. Hall to the service suit! It marks the passing of the last impediment in our way. It is no compromise between a masculine and a feminine garment, but a new departure—and it is smart. Even a little garden is better than no garden at all and everybody, that is anybody with a patch of available --- ground, is doing some gardening this year. It is unpatriotic and unfashionable to be idle. Even in small back yards, allotted to city dwellers, women are gardening with enthusiasm, and if they raise only a few vegetables for the summer table, they are helping toward conserving food for next winter. In the smaller cities and towns women have a real chance to do real work toward producing the food that is going to be needed to last through next winter. Those who know conditions 14 are advising them to raise vegetables for canning and to put them up in much greater quantities than ever before. By putting up enough to last their own families through they will save food and keep its price down for those who are not situated where they can make gardens. Since duty calls women to the garden to work, clothes have been designed to meet the emergency. Sunbonnets, aprons, "overettes" and "service suits" have made their entry to meet with a whole-hearted welcome. These clothes proclaim that their wearers have enlisted to do their bit in the army of producers. The set shown in the picture is for her who has only a little garden, not demanding strenuous work. It includes a sunbonnet, apron and cushion of figured cretonne, is strong and pretty and may be washed. It will stand prac ```markdown ``` tical service—in the strawberry patch for instance. The small apron has two pointed pockets that monopolize a good share of its surface. One side of the cushion is made of oilcloth, or leatherette, and there is a small pocket at the top.
