LOUIS WREAK DEAD STRUCTION An Ineffaceable Great America Hundreds of Negroes Shot, Lynch Through Fires Started by Women Join in Butchery Citizens Hang Their Call for Immediat the Federal AGAIN the blood-thirstiness of the white people of East St. Louis, Illinois, shows no sign of being satiated as by the terrible happenings of murder and incendiarism from Sunday evening, July 1st, estimates of the dead and wounded number as high as 250 and thousands of Negro families are left homeless. It is said that this action of the mob eclipsed anything prior to it and reduced the riots of last May to the meresemblance of a street brawl. Appaling Incidents in U. S. Civilization. The following gives an account of some of the many atrocities and losses from fire that took place between Sunday to Tuesday evening of this week. Fires started at noon in three Negro sections of the city by the rioters and fanned by a high wind soon got beyond control. As the Negroes rushed from their houses panie-stricken into the streets they were shot down like rabbits. Many bodies were dragged to a creek and thrown into the water. "I killed seventeen tonight," said a big white man, grinning as he shifted a bloody axe he was carrying from one hand to the other, "and I'm going to get a few more if I get a chance." The mob divided into groups of from 200 to 1,000, scattered over all parts of the city got their supply of .32 and .38 caliber shells from automobiles that dashed through the streets stopping at the various points where they congregated and added to the scenes of destruction and slaughter by emptying the contents of their guns into the bodies of Negro men, women and children, fleeing for safety. As the mobs went from section to section, setting more blazes to Negro homes, the unfortunates ran from their cottages, the rioters firing at them and many falling back into the flames. White women and girls took a prominent part (as was done at the Eli Persons lynching in Georgia recently) in this, one of the most disgraceful chapters of the history of the beauty of American Democracy, when they beat Negro women as they fled from their --- burning homes and also tore off the clothes from their bodies. Well dressed girls and women, hair flying and clothing covered with the blood of their victims led units of the mob. Two girls, not more than 19 years old, dragged an old Negro woman off a street car and beat her into insensibility with their shoes. A white woman, dressed in a blood-spattered frock, hit one of a group of Negro children over the head with an iron bar as they were about to be rescued, while a Negro man, who had been hanged to a telephone pole and shot, was afterward cut down and a number of women and children tore his body literally, to pieces and roasted it in a fire they had made. Two Negroes were lynched at a point in the city and four were killed by snipers. Policemen and guardsmen of the militia were said to be overpowered by the mob and were practically useless. Only here and there did they accomplish a little rescue work. Three or four soldiers, disarmed and eowed by the mob were forced to join the rioters. One was forced to kill a Negro at the approach to the bridge leading to the Missouri side. Col. S. O. Tripp succeeded in rescuing an aged Negro who was being dragged at the end of a rope by more than a hundred men. The Colonel jumped from his automobile, and forcing his way through the mob was allowed to take charge of the man without further molestation. A lad of 18 from Effingham was injured while rescuing a dozen Negro women and children. Very commendable for these two instances of hearts that pulsate with the feelings of humanity. Did other authorities adopt such fearlessness, the success of the mob would be frustrated. "It is the most terrible sight I have ever witnessed," said Adjutant General Dickson. In the opinion of the Chamber of Commerce, had the militia acted vigorously, much bloodshed might have been averted. They also demanded to know of the Adjutant General why the troopers had not dis- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 7 1917 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House table Negro Pa ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA played more energetic activity in the whole affair. Members of the Chamber were not slow to charge the soldiers with inefficiency bordering on cowardice. The police force was also charged with negligence in attempting to quell violence. Cause of Riot. Honest Negro citizens in their search for improving their condition obtain employment in large firms. Dissatisfaction arises with the Central Trades and Labor Council who, though they refuse to admit Negroes in their union, complain that these Negro workmen would not unionize and would not strike and are therefore taking the places of white men. Managers of the plants say that not a white man had been deprived of work because of the Negroes. The Colorado Statesman specially requests its readers to read between the lines and make their deductions. We have never and will never stop to deounce this internal lawlessness and barbarous display and in our editorial in this issue bearing on this subject we will champion the cause with the same fearlessness and express ourselves in the same bold and naked manner as before. In the midst of all these races we have members of the white race who will place Citizenship, National Honor and Human Liberty above Race Hate, as is proven by the following editorial of Wednesday, July 4, of the Rocky Mountain News, that we have often highly commended for its stand for right regardless of the species of human color. This journal, realizing the essence of the National Independence Day, which gives to all its citizens the right to move to and fro in this country in the grand and great privilege given to the exercise of a free people does not hesitate to remind a blind, color prejudice race in this country of the quintessence of a Democracy and warns the government of the support offered to enemy nations by the act of such undemocratic and criminal actions of the members of the white race: The Stigma of East St. Louis. What has taken place in the past week at East St. Louis, Illinois, U. S. A., indicates that much of the common world talk about "no nationalism" or internationalism and the immediate abolition of race prejudices, all leading, of course, to a world confederacy, is foolish talk and fails to take into account present day and world old history and the mob psychology. Before we go too far along the will-o-the-wisp road we ought to remove the beam from our own eye, and not say overmuch about the mote in other nation's eyes. The reign of terror, the mob outbreak, the brutalities committed on women and children as well as men in the American city cannot be condoned. It is a blot upon the nation. There was very little, if any, excuse for the orgy of bloodshed and incendiarism. It could not be alleged, as had often been done further south, that the Negro population was dangerously in the majority. Neither was it a matter of a moment's thought over an assault that made the blood boil. The attack upon the Negro quarter of the town was premeditated and inspired by selfishness. For days and nights there had been threats and minor outbreaks tending to terrorize the Negroes and compel them to go away. When these failed, the mob spirit gained control and things were done by white people that cannot be excused. Unquestionably the blood lust that is upon the world today was responsible for the severity of the outbreak against the colored race in a city where they cut no great figure. We are creatures of environment and we are at present surrounded by millions who see red and who have no other thought but to kill or be killed. It would be impossible for this section of the globe, so intimately wired with the European abattoir, to escape the contagion. The blood thirstiness, exhibited for so long a period, against the colored population must be traced back to what has been taking place in three years in a large part of the earth. Even then the excuse is a thin whitewash. The outbreak against the colored race was economic, when it was not due to rank race hatred, dislike of a colored skin. Negroes were brought into the town by corporations to work. The whites took umbrage. White labor was supposed to be in jeopardy. The Negro must be taught a terrible lesson! We hope it may be possible for the federal authorities to take a part in the punishment of the ringleaders. Otherwise nothing of consequence is likely to be done. Much will be heard from foreign quarters regarding this race outbreak. It came at a most inopportune moment. Let the nation bow its head in sorrow for a moment today for the crimes committed by the relatively few. NEGROES TOLD TO ARM—WILSON DENOUNCED BY CHICAGO SPEAKERS Chicago, July 4.—"Arm yourselves now with guns and pistols," said Ferdinand L. Barnett, a former assistant state's attorney in speaking to 100 Negro men at a mass meeting held this afternoon to protest against the riots and blodhed in East St. Louis. "Don't buy an arsenal, but get enough guns to protect yourselves. You may be victims in Chicago within a fortnight of such murders and outrages as have taken place in East St. Louis. And when trouble starts let us not hesitate to call upon our Negro militiamen to defend us." Barnett and A. R. Roberts, another speaker, sponsored resolutions condemning Governor Lowden and other public officials "laxness of duty" because the riots took place, and demanding punishment of the participants in the riots. "The fact that the governor let this mob run its course is forever a black spot on the executive record of the state," said Barnett. "The officer who told the militia not to shoot should be court-martialed and branded a traitor and murderer. I don't know who is to blame, but a mob is a mob, and ought to be dispersed or killed. We are going to rectify this in some way. The 10,000,000 of our race will not stand for massacre. "Behind an army go the guerillas—looters, cowards and thieves. Behind this riot is the public defense council, whose fulminations are written without consulting a single Negro. They breathe the same spirit as the mon of East St. Louis did. "Get guns and put them in your homes. Protect yourselves. And let no black man permit a policeman to come in and get those guns." "I love my race better than my counhopep 'God would demand 100,000 white lives in the war for each Negro slaughtered in East St. Louis.' I love my race better than my country!" he shouted. "This country, under Woodrow Wilson, is asking us to cary the flag of democracy to Europe. God forbid that he take RACE NEWS Washington, D. C., According to official figures just given out, 9,659,382 Americans registered for selective army draft, between the ages of 21 and 31, of whom 7,347,749 were white and 953,899 were colored. The Indians who registered numbered 6,001. The claim is made in some quarters that hundreds of Negroes who have no difficulty passing for white registered as white, some taking offence at the unnecessary reference to African descent printed on the corner of the registration paper, and others because they are known in their respective communities as Caucasians. Fort Des Moines, Ia.—Several of the local restaurants and picture houses in the city of Des Moines have refused to accommodate members of the Reserve Officers' Training Camp, have been notified by Lieut. Bell, provost guard commander of the City of Des Moines, that the men in training at the Fort are here because the United States Government has ordered them to come and any discrimination whatever shown toward them in restaurant. church rooms or theaters would not be tolerated by the military authorities. Consequently all owners and proprietors who have been known to have discriminated against one or two of the cadets have been notified that at the first unfavorable report against them their license will be revoked. Discrimination in the city has not been widespread. It was only shown here and there by some narrow-minded proprietor. The city as a whole has been frank and open in its welcome of the cadets. Baltimore, Md.—When Comptroller Thrift, who represented Mayor Preston, started to present the diplomas to the members of this year's graduating class of the Colored High School, he sharply dissented from the views just expressed by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, that the European war would aid the Negro's progress in the United States. The Comptroller evidently "lost his head," for his remarks were such as to arouse the ire of many in the audience, who hissed him. Mr. Thrift was born in Virginia and of course has some peculiar notions about the Negro of to-across the Atlantic any of the democraey of East St. Louis." L. W. Washington, another speaker, told the Negroes to organize. "Tell the governor that every Negro in Chicago and Illinois is behind these resolutions," he said. "and if we don't get justice from him, then send them to the president of the nation." NO 46 day and his future. In an interview, published next day in the Baltimore Evening Sun, Comptroller Thrift admitted that the utterances of Mrs. Terrell had riled him and that he had told the audience he did not think the time would ever come in this country when there could be a general breaking down of the barrier of races, such as Mrs. Terrell had in mind. The Comptroller seems to be imbued with the absurd notion that "Jim Crow" cars, segregation, disfranchisement and other indignities resented by the race should be looked upon in a matter-of-fact way and without protest. Negroes in Baltimore assert. Memphis, Tenn., June 29.—An automobile killed a white man right on the spot where Eli Pearsons was burned. Another white man, his wife and child were killed by lighting a few days ago in a storm. The man had one of the fingers of Pearson on the day of the burning. Is the hand of God at work. PLUCKY RACE WOMAN DEFEATS SCHOOL BOARD West Chester. Pa., June 26. Judge Butler sitting here in the County Court, handed down a decision in favor of Mrs. Rebecca Simms, who refused to send her children to a basement school room in Downingtown, Pa. The decision ends a bitter battle between Mrs. Simms and the board. The school board hopelessly beaten, was not represented at the time of the trial. They decided to accept the judgment of the court. The fight against the School Board was begun last August, when the colored children were separated from the whites, and sent to the basement of the school building. A number of indignation meetings were held, and plans laid to carry the fight to the courts. It was agreed not to send the children to school. Some were of the opinion that this would be carrying the matter too far. But not Mrs. Simms. She not only refused to send her children to the segregated class room, but refused to pay fines levied-by the police authorities. Public spirited citizens offered to pay the fines on several occasions but she refused to accept their offers of assistance. Mrs. Simms was released, but ordered to appear at Court, with the before mentioned result. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DISP PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS.

Estimate Filed with Utilities Board Says 12,950 Cars Will Be Handled This Season. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—In a statement filed with the State Public Utilities Commission the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad estimated it would handle this year the largest amount of foodstuffs in its history. The total number of carloads of fruit and vegetables it will handle is estimated at 12,950. This railroad handled 12,520 carloads of fruit and vegetables in 1914, known as a bumper year. The estimate made is based on reports from its stations and covers the six months beginning with July and ending with December. The crop to be handled and the amounts are as follows: Peaches, 1,950 cars, of which 1,600 cars will be from Colorado; apples, 4,670 cars, 4,195 from Colorado; pears and mixed fruits, 710, of which 605 are from Colorado, and potatoes and mixed vegetables, 5,620 cars, of which 5,450 are from this state. During the month of July the Rio Grande will move 65 cars, August 1,190 cars, September 4,170 cars, October, 4,315 cars, November, 2,600 cars and December 610 cars. Monte Vista will furnish 1,855 cars of potatoes and other vegetables. Montrose will furnish 705 cars of vegetables. Other towns will contribute as follows: Delta, 640 cars, Olathe 545 cars, and Carbondale 400 cars. The apple supply of Colorado will be furnished as follows: Grand Junction 685 cars, Austin 640 cars, Clifton 545 cars, Montrose 470 cars, Paonia 400 cars and Fruita 300 cars.

Washington.—The drafted armies of the United States will be drawn with “the least inequality and personal hardship.” J President Wilson, in issuing regula- tions for the working of the draft, urged upon every member of every draft bourd “impartial and fearless per- g formance of the delicate and difficult duties Intrusted,” In order that “our armies at the front may be composed of men free from sense of injustice In thelr mode of selection.” To Fix Date for Board Meetings. In the near future a date will be set by Brig. Gen. Crowder, provost mar- shal-general, for the meeting and or- , <anization of the boards. At the same time it is expected that the selection regulations will be promulgated so that the process may be put under way without delay, ‘The present intention is to cull the men selected to the col- ors about September 1. All Forces on Equal Footing. President Wilson’s statement fol- lows: : “The regulations which T am today causing to be promulgated, pursuant to the direction of the selective service law, cover the remaining steps of the plan for calling into the service of the United States qualified men from those who have registered; those se- lected as the result of this process to constitute, with the regular army, the National guard and the navy, the fight- ing forces of the nation, all of which forces are under the terms of the law placed in a position of equal right, dignity) and responsibility with the members of all other military forces. “The regulations have been drawp with a vlew to the needs and circum: stances of the whole country and pro- vide a system which It ts expected will work with the least Inequality and per- soni! hardship. Any system of select ing men of military service, whether yoluntary or involuntary in Its opera- tlon, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacri- fice for the whole nation. ‘The system here provided places all men of mill- tary age upon an even plane, and then, by a selection which neither favors the ‘one nor penalizes the other, calls pon. the requisite number for service. Urges Boards to Act Impartially. “The successful operation of this law and of these regulations depends necessarilyupon the loyalty, patriotism and justice of the members of the boards to whom {ts operation ts com- mitted, and I admonish every member of every local board and of every dis- triet board of review that their duty to their country requires an impartial and fearless performance of the deli- cate and difficult duties intrusted to them. ‘They should: remember as to each individual ease presented to them: that they are called upon to adjudicate the most sacred rights of the individ- ual and to preserve untarnished the honor of the nation, “Our armies at the front will be strengthened and sustained if they be composed of men free from any. sense of injustice in tne mode of selection, and they will be inspired to loftier ef- forts in behalf of a country In which the citizens called upon to perform : wasted Time. We don’t miss the little here and the little there. Yet in a year the amount of time wasted 1s enormous. Learn- Ing that he was always called to din- ner several minutes before the dinner was really ready to eat a certain man started and wrote a book in the spare minutes between the call and the ac- tual dinner time, It only shows how we waste time, If you want to be among earth's benefactors you will begin now to conserve your time and ‘ase it to profit—Exchange. with Justice, fearlessness and fmpar tality.” Methods of Making the Draft. Upon organtzing the local boards will take over from the registration boards all registration cards, which they will number serially and list for posting to public view. Then, after having been advised of the method by which the order of lability for service shall be determined und of the quota to be drawn from its territory (minus credits for enlistments in the National Guard or regular army), each, board will prepare a lst ofpersons designat- ed for serviee in the order of ir Ma~ bility, post the Ust, give It tothe press, and within three oe send notice to each designated person by mail. As the men so notified appear the boards first will make a physteal ex- amination in accordance with special regulations to be provided, bearing in mind that all persons accepted by them will be re-examined by army surgeons, If the physical examination ts passed successfully, then comes the question | of exemption, } Those Entitled to Exemption. Persons who must be gxempted or discharged by the local board include: Officers of the United States, ’of the states, tereltories and the District of Columbia; ministers of religion, stu- dents of divinity, persons In the mill- tary or naval service of the United States, subjects of Germany, all other aliens who have not taken out first Papers, county or muntelpal officers, customhouse clerks, workmen in fed: eral armories,, arsenals and navy yards, persons in the federal service designated by the president for ex- emption, pilots, merchant marine sail- ors, those with a status with respect: to dependents which renders their ex- clusion desirable (a married man with dependent wife or child, son of a de- pendent widow, son of dependent, aged or infirm parent, or brother of depend- ent orphan child under sixteen years of age), thage found morally deficlent, and any member of any well-recog- nized religious sect existing May 18, 1917, whose creed forbids participation in war and whose religious convictions accord with the creed. Man or Wife May Make Claim. Claims for exemption because of de- pendents may be made by the man himself, his wife or other dependents, or by « third party who has personally investigated the case. A claim made by the husband must be accompanied by supporting affidavits signed by the wife and by the head of a family re- siding In the same territory, A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affida- vits signed by heads of families. Sim- ilar rules govern claims on the grounds | of other dependents when the depend- ents or third parties being authorized | to file claims with supporting affidavits. In each case the board must be satis- ‘fled before it grants exemption or dis- charge that the dependent or depend- ents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of the man’s mental or phys- ical labor. Local boards are required, subject to “appeal, to pass upon claims for exemp- tion or discharge within three days af- ter the filing of affidavits. ‘ Must Decide in Five Days. District boards must decide appeal cases within five days after the closing of proofs and thely decisions are final, If the ruling of a local board is af- firmed the person in question stands finally accepted for military service. In passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment in neces- sary Industrial and agricultural oecu- pations the district boards must be con- vinced that the particular enterprise affording such employment actually is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment of national In- terest during the emergency. “The evidence must also establish,” the regulations say, “even If the pai- ticular industrial enterprise or particu- lar agricultural enterprise is found nee- essary for one of the above purposes, that the continuance of such person therein is necessary to the maintenange thereof and that-he cannot be renaeed by another person without direct, sub- stantin! material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective operation of the particular industrial enterprise or agricultural enterprise In which he ts engased.” . May Designate Certain Industries. Later the president may from time to time designate certain industries or classes of industries that are necessary and the district boards will be 80 no- tified. It will be the duty of each board, however, to ascertain the avail- able labor supply for such industries outside the men calle€ for military service and to take the result into con: sideration in determining such things, “If, in the opinion of the district Earth Grows Slowly Now.

WAVES OF MEN THROWN BACK AND DEAD-STREWN BATTLE FIELD ABANDONED. & BRITISH TAKE 117,776 REPORT 1,500,000 GERMANS HAVE BEEN SLAIN UP TO MARCH, 1917. Western Newspaper Unton News Service. French Front in France, July 6.— After their strongest offensive since Verdun the Germans found themselves thrown back along on ‘eleven-mile front on the Chemin des Dames, leay- ing the ground thickly strewn with their dead and having failed to take even one French soldier prisoner. The French lines remained intact, and the French commanding general who watched the operations through- out from the front trenches was able to declare that not a single yard of territory had been lost. The Germans came forward every- where in the closest formation and in successive waves preceded by the famous “shock” troops, Who were mown down by the French fing, The German infantry appeared to have all the dagh taken out of them by the French defense and made no attempt to regain the lost ground by the French reaction, Their artillery throughout, however, maintained a sweeping fire, but its effects were minimized by the enemy's lack of ob- servation posts. Since the beginning of the war the British have captured 117,776 prison- ers exclusive of natives taken prison- ers in the African campaigns, many of whom have been released, said Maj. Gen. F. B. Maurice, director of mili- tary operations, at the war office. The British have lost to the enemy 51,088 men, including. Indian and native troops. These figures take in all the progress of war. ‘The total number of Germans killed from the beginning of the war to March, 1917, is not less than 1,500,000, according to an estimate reached by French general headquarters. Russians are holding their gains in Galicia. Austro-Germans unable to re- capture positions. Gen. Haig is believed preparing for another great offensive. He has driv- en the Germans back for 600 yards in Planders. "Maj. Gen, Maurice asserts that the British in France have not lost a gun since April, 1915; and, since the be- ginning of the war, have taken 739 guns and lost 133. Nine German air raiders were re- pulsed in an attempt to attack the Russian aviation base in the Gulf of Riga. U. S. TROOPS IN STRIKE ZONE. Cavalry and Machine Guns to Handle Globe Situation. Globe, Ariz., July 6.—Federal troops arrived in the city and assumed con- trol of the strike situation. One troop of cavalry has pitched its tents at the entrance to the Old Dominion mine, which has been closed by strikers since 7 o'clock Monday morning. An- other company has cleared the road to Copper Hill, which has been blocked by the members of the IL W. W. Two other cavalry troops and one machine gun company are encamped in the city. There was no demonstration of any kind by strikers. Denver.—“The Industrial Workers of the World have gained tontrol of our local union at Bisbee,” said Charles H. Moyer, president of the In- ternational Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers,, “and we will have their charter revoked within forty- eight hours.” “We assume no responsibility for the action of that local,” Moyer said. “That is what I telegraphed Governor Campbell, and I thought it would be understood from that what the situa- tion was. Reported Draft Selections Falee. Denver.—Tw6 reports were circu- lated ‘Thursday, one that twelve num- bers had been drawn, the men whose ‘names correspond to the numbers ‘drawn in each precinct throughout the country to be called for the first draft army.

Denver.—Chief ‘Clerk Dudley Hum- phrey of the secretary of state's of: fice has finished a compilation of cor. poration taxes paid in the various states which reveals that Colorado re ceives but $43,000 annually from for- eign and domestic corporations, or a little over 5 per cent of the state taxes, while in Kansas 1,500 charters for corporations have been issued in the last year up to June with an in- come to the gtate of $134,000 in fees and $259,540 for state license tax. As a measure to increase the state revenue Governor Gunter will be re- quested by the secresary of state to include in the governor’s call for a ‘special session an amendment to the corporation laws providing for the col- lection of a just corporation tax. The report as compiled by Hum- phrey and submitted to the governor contains the information that Colorado collects only on the capital stock of domestic companies and only on thgt proportion of capital stock of foreign corporations as is represented in af- fidavits filed in the secretary of state's office. By collecting 1-50 of 1 per cent the flat tax for Colorado would amotnt to $400,000 as compared with $43,000 collected now. Noland’s plan provides the receipts be increased so that the moneys col- lected from the sources named will be sufficient to pay the interest and re- tire a bond issue of $3,000,000 within ten years.

LOUIS WHITES DEFY GOVERNMENT—TRAMPLES DEMOCRACY. ID ye hear it last May, and do ye hear it again this week—July 1-3? D ‘That the mob being satisfied with their successes when they shot and killed a few Negroes month before last, and getting inspiration to ex- hibit their savage, barbarous and bloodlust natural tendencies, again re- solved on shaking the pillars of our country by the ruthless slaughter of innocent men, women and children, also the setting of fire to hundreds of Negroes’ homes, The cry comes that the authorities (local) were power- less to suppress the mob, as the latter outnumbered them, and the horrify- ing results made the scenes at the Coliseum in Rome in the centuries gone by appear queenly besides them. Speaking abeut “making one’s blood boil,” we wonder if the Bust St. Louis mob forget that our country is in this war for the preservation of the lberty of people—the protection of the rights of smaller nations and other righteous reasons? Are they trying to institute a permanent menace in this country so that the citizen black and the citizen white will forever hold and have established a perpetual hatred which each side will hand down in the form of a hereditament to its posterity? As we go along the streets of Denver, white citizens approach us denouncing this action of the mob and the spirit of lawlessness prevailing among those brutal residents, and some go farcher in charging the militia and police with criminal negli- gence, owing to their laxity and almost inactive methods adopted in trying to suppress this destruction of human life and property. The Colorado Statesman, ever lifting up its voice against such bar- barisms of a certain element in this country, in thinking very seriously over the recent occurrence, wonders if the Eighth fllinois regiment of colored troops could be successful in bringing the mob to their senses. However, fellow Negroes, do not lose heart. The spirit of Abraham Lincoln is record- ing these atrocities, and who knows but quietly and secretly a Negro Lincoln may suddenly appear on the scene, and instead of appealing make a demand on the federal government to put mob-rule out of existence in this nation, or we may crumble like a Babylon, a Rome, or a Spain. Let us bear the burden with fortitude, but for the good Lord's sake—THINK, NEGRO, ‘THINK, FOR THE DAY MAY BE AT HAND! . W. B. TOWNSEND, ABLE ATYORNEY AND RACE LEADER, DIES SUDDENLY. N the death of William Bolden Townsend a great lawyer, an eloquent I orator, a clear thinker, a treless worker and a fearless champion of human rights and liberties, not only Denver, but the state of Colorado and other parts of the country haye suffered a great loss and_an_unspeak- able sorrow, While he was suffering with bronchial troubles suice last fall, he was apparently in vigorous health until Sunday evening, when he retired, only to be struck with paralysis on Monday morning, and succumb: ing Tuesday, July 5th, at 7a.m. Knowing him intimately for a number of years, and following him as a lawyer and citizen, we can certify to the record of his fearlessness and fighting qualities in his legak sphere &s well as his championing of equal civil rights for all the people, especially those who suffered most on account of their black appearance, for which they were not responsible. Conscien- vous in his actions and believing in the square deal, he always fought in the open, with honest, manly weapons, and though at times he struck hard, yet he measured up to the height of his manhood and did not flinch from the retaliation, Always devoted to the interests of his people he became 4 student of the conditions around and about them, which destined him to take rank as one of the foremost leaders of his race in this country. Coming to Colorado sixteen years ago, he located in Pueblo, where he built up an extensive practice, and after eight years of service, wherein he won the respect and commendation of the courts, he removed to Denver, where he continued his noble work almost to the day of his death, Recog- nized as a safe, reliable counselor-atlaw, he insured the confidence of his clients, aud not being a shirker of duty or imposing his arduous labors on the shoulders of others, he could be found at work during all hours of the day. He is already missed in,his former legal fraternity, in his political sphere and by the numerots friends and acquaintances as well as the lovers of berty who have always given him their encouragement in his fights for the cause which is still incomplete, but which forms the nucleus for reforms and betterment of our people when another adyocate appears on the scene. ‘The Colorado Statesman in paying tribute to this great character inade- quately expresses itself in determining the loss to the race by his death and joins the entire community in offering deepest sympathy to his surviv- ing widow and relatives, who ought to find consolation in the fact that Will- iam Bolden ‘Townsend has established a foundation on which the grandest superstructure enhancing the best interests of his people can be erected, and the legacy he leaves—"Fight on till the goal is reached triumphantly’— may be the resolution of every member of our race throughout the length and breadth of the United States of America, Pacifists Are Menace to Nation And Activities Must Be Curbed By JOSEPH H.

The pacifist will remain disloyal to the end. Constructive Thrift Is Sane Spending as Well as Sane Saving By S. W. STRAUS President of American Society for Thrift We are in the midst of a period when great care must be exercised by all of us lest we bring harm to the business interests of the country through the practices of misguided thrift. We must bear in mind that there are two kinds of thrift: destructive and constructive. Neither indis- criminate tightfistedness nor wanton waste is constructive thrift. Con- structive thrift is sane spending as well as sane saving. If every citizen of America quit spending money, it would not be long before we found ourselves in the midst of industrial chaos. Whether in times of peace or war, waste is reprehensible, and at the present time waste of food is unpatriotic. But the legitimate currents of money that turn the nation’s wheels of industry must flow on. The declaration of war was a business shock from which we still have not entirely recovered. In the midst of this crisis the nation sought refuge in thrift to conserve our resources and keep up the food supply for ourselves and our allies. Naturally there was considerable hysteria. Happily, however, we are now getting around to normal conditions—we are beginning to find ourselves. Secretary McAdoo recently stated to the bankers of Chicago that the United States and her allies will spend $9,000,000,000 for supplies in America in the next year, if the war continues that long. At the same time he offered this excellent advice: “Have you ever reflected what it would mean if every man and woman in the country should save during the next year what is ordinarily wasted by each in the way of food and general supplies? If 190,000,000 people reduce their demand upon the general supply of food and materials through the stoppage of waste and extravagance, it would release an enormous amount, which in turn could be used for the purpose of supporting and maintaining the 1,000,000 soldiers in the field. “Moreover, it will have a helpful influence in keeping down the prices of food and preventing the hardships which are imposed upon all the people whenever the general price level of the necessaries of life is raised.” Let each citizen study his individual case. Let him eliminate waste, do his bit toward the production and preservation of the nation’s food supply and exercise care lest he indulge in the baneful practices of mis- guided thrift and thus keep from circulation money that rightfully belongs there. Increased Production of Gold to Make America Real Banker of World + Rocca AGE re i Toseee sus Feenaes ‘Those who have given thought to the financial situation know that immediately after peace is declared a heavy outflow of gold will begin. We shall be called upon to return all that has come in here and more besides. The question naturally suggests itself, Where is this more to come from? The United States and its territories produced in gold in 1916 $101,- 000,000 and in 1916 $95,000,000, which shows that our gold production is falling off, but the stock of gold in this country has increased from $1,887,000,000 at the outbreak of the war to about $3,089,000,000 today. Our government, unlike any other government in the world, does not interest itself very much in the production of gold. Once in a while you hear someone make the statement that there is plenty of gold in this country, and it leaves you with the idea that gold does not cut very much of a figure in the finances of a nation. The true answer to that point of view is found in asking the question, What gives England her supremacy in the financial world? Not her navy, not her manufacturers nor her products, but the fact that she controls the gold product of the world, and for that reason is able to establish, under ordi- nary conditions, the rates of exchange and to make the English pound the Basis thereof. ‘We are told that we have been getting much profitable knowledge from the visits of the foreign commissioners to this country regarding war conditions and how we can meet them. Let us go one step further and add financial preparedness to our present work, and adopt Britain’s method, “dig more gold.” We have a wonderfully rich domain in the territory west of the Rocky mountains and in Alaska. It is only awaiting development, and when: properly developed will increase the production of gold to such an extent that we can become the bankers of the world in fact—not in name only, as we are today. (A man would be foolhardy who would attempt to foretell what will happen in this country when the war ceases, when this immense amount of gold has gone back into its natural channels, and we are called upon to furnish more gold to help resuscitate and rebuild the countries now at war. I myself would not even hazard a guess. But one thing is certain: an increased production of gold will go further toward helping any con- dition that mey ariee than any other one thing. ——THE——= ‘COLORADO STATESMAN ; y FTR°H “a * 4 SLALESNLAN | a | The Mouth-Piece | of the People of | , ‘ | Colorado and the | | Entire West | : ‘ oe : : RELIABLE chronicle } ‘ , A of their doings and ’ progress; a faithful mirror 3 of their wants, their hopes, | their best aspirations. | | gia | .

The body lies in so from noon today until Sunday 1 p. Mrs. Nellie Beckwith Hamlett and little daughter Unetta, of Colorado Springs, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R. Greenwood of 225 West Eleventh avenue this week. Mrs. Fannie Williams of Arkansas City, Kans., mother of Alvin Wright of 1140 Lincoln street, arrived in the city last Sunday to visit a few weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Wright. Mrs. C. F. Morrison of 2344 Ogden street, who has been suffering from a nervous breakdown has fully recovered to the delight of her many friends. A picnic was held at Washington Park Wednesday afternoon by the members and friends of the People's Presbyterian church. Lunch was served and an enjoyable time was had by all. A tribute to the late Attorney W. B. Townsend, sent in by a correspondent, could not be published in this issue for lack of space, but will be glad to do so in our next as our indorsement of such illustrious characters of our race is an indispensable feature of our paper.—Editor. There was a large crowd at Twenty-third and Welton Wednesday afternoon to witness the ball game between the Bees and the Five Points Giants. It was an interesting game up to the eighth inning when a raw decision by the base umpire caused the game to end in a squabble. We are glad to announce that our popular physician, Dr. D. DeFrantz, who left the city some time ago for the benefit of his health, is improving nicely under the care of a specialist in Kansas City. We unite with his numerous friends in wishing a speedy restoration to good health. John Frost, of 2215 Curtis street, met with a painful accident last Saturday at the Daniels & Fisher Stores Co., where he is employed. His leg was caught in the freight elevator and fractured at the ankle. We offer our sympathy and hope for a speedy recovery. Fred Hickman, son of the late William Hickman arrived in the city, remaining a few days, during which time he visited the Fairmount cemetery, where he saw the grave of his deceased parent, being unable to be present at the funeral. Mr. Hickman returned to Chicago where he is located, for over a year keeping up the reputation of "making good." Being a Denverite and winning a popularity from his genial manner while here, was surrounded by many of his friends and well wishers who offered their sympathy over his bereavement and who bade him "God speed" on his return last Sunday to the "Windy City," where he will permanently reside. We wish him every success. The sympathy of the Colorado Statesman is extended to L. W. McKinley of 1032 Twenty-fourth avenue and formerly of Texas, over the almost sudden death of his wife, which occurred Tuesday last in this city. Mr. McKinley, one of the reliable employees of the Pullman railroad service resolved to make Denver his home and brought his wife to share the western climate with him a few years ago. She was apparently well up to ten days before her death, which resulted from heart trouble. May the husband and other relatives find consolation in Him who gives and takes. Funeral held Thursday afternoon from the Cammell Undertaking company, Rev. D. E. Over officiating. Besides a devoted husband deceased leaves a mother and father, two brothers and three sisters to mourn her loss. The remains were shipped extends sympathy to the bereaved ones. W. B. Townsend, Able Lawyer and Champion of Human Rights Dies. Attorney W. B. Townsend, who departed this life Tuesday, July 2, from chronic bronchial troubles, will be buried tomorrow from Shorter A. M. E. church, 2 p. m. The Knights of Pythias organization with which he was connected in the capacity of Grand Attorney will turn out in full and prominent citizens with whom the deceased was associated will deliver short eulogies. The body lies in state from noon today until Sunday 1 p. m., at the parlors of the Douglass Undertaking Co., 2745 Welton street. Kansas and Mississippi papers please copy. COLORED MILITARY COMPANY FORMED Monday evening last gave the initial proof that the Colorado Colored Battalion meant business when, in the presence of a large assembly, Company A of the battalion was formed with Captain Elliston, First Lieut Lee and Second Lieut, Neal as officers, Capt. Ensley of the National Guards, Major Campbell of the battalion, Revs. Adams of Pueblo and Over of Denver addressed the company, also civil war veteran, Dickerson, commending the members for the stand they had taken for country and right and made appeals to the audience for their whole-hearted support in bringing about the success of the colored quota of the Colorado contingent of troops. The Y, M, C, A. band supplied martial music which filled a necessary requirement with satisfaction. Quite a number of the gentler sex graced the meeting with their presence, showing their desire to help their country and flag in any way they could be fitted. The churches were represented by nearly all their pastors, proving their belief in the right cousness of our entry in the war. Everything passed off harmoniously with the impression of the solemn duty to be performed and the responsibility devolving on us established on the minds of the soldier and civilian alike. The Major and his assistant officers have informed the men of the details relating to the soldier's life and actions and we will soon have an opportunity of witnessing our men and boys on the drill ground prior to taking a position in the trenches on the French and Belgian front. FRED. R. BURTON GAINING CONFIDENCE. That Fred R. Burton, representing the Securities Finance and Investment Co., 329 Foster Building, is THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE goes without challenge or contradiction is putting it mildly in expressing the worth of this member of our race who is doing excellent work for the firm he represents as well as establishing a reputation with the public as a business agent who has already merited and insured their confidence. With F. R. Burton there are no "ifs and buts," as his training in business carries one right to the point, and in thought centered on the action, so that with readiness his auditor can easily grasp the practical side and see the grand achievement it is theirs to gain. As we must repeat, his idea of beginning with investments on a small scale then grow into large proportions is the secret of Mr. Burton's success, and if more of us would entertain the instruction, "despise not the day of small things," we would possibly rank with those who have, by their determination, made their last days brimful with peace and plenty. At 1837 Arapahoe street he can easily be found and coming in contact with him is an assurance of a lucrative business deal advantageous to you and a certificate of his special purpose to serve. See him first before investing elsewhere and the Colorado Statesman is sure that you have made a satisfactory bargain and investment. We are asking our subscribers not to take offense at the bills we send them, as the debts are of long standing and the law compels us to file an accurate statement of our income. Your early settlement will be greatly appreciated. MAJOR CAMPBELL OPENS HEADQUARTERS FOR COLORED BATTALION. Headquarters for the Colorado Colored Battalion opened Thursday, July 5, at 2615 Welton street, by Major Campbell, where he will recruit for the battalion. All members of the battalion will report at headquarters as soon as possible. The choral society now rehearsing "The Messiah," under the direction of Mrs. DeFrantz, is making splendid progress. Rehearsals are held twice each week, Tuesday evenings at the Y. W. C. A. rooms on Washington street and Thursday evenings at the Y. M. C. A. Quite a number of boys attended the Bible Story club last Saturday usual reading and discussion of the story the class repaired to Rice's where they feasted sumptuously on cup cakes. Miss Nelsine Howard spoke interestingly at the meeting last Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock on the work of the colored women of the state. She traced the origin of the women's movement, and told of the different phases of work the women are doing. Mrs. Luki Madison, with Miss Vera Ward as accompanist, rendered two vocal selections with great feeling and power. Next Sunday afternoon Mr. C. M. White, of the American Woodmen, will speak at the 4 o'clock meeting on observations he has made of the movements and progress of our people during his extensive travels in the South and in other sections of the country. Piano selection by Mrs. Minnie Elliott. All will be welcome. Andrew Horan Improving. Councilman Andrew Horan of the Eighth district, who has not taken his seat in the city council on account of illness is gradually improving and hopes to leave the hospital at an early date. His many friends are pleased to note this progress and hope for a complete restoration to his former good health. Washington, July 5.—Senator Thomas of Colorado brought up the race riots in East St. Louis during debate on the food bill in the senate today as an indication of social unrest which is manifested in various parts of the country at times. He declared that one-tenth of the population of this country is black and said their loyalty in the present crisis is essential. "Can they fight for the flag and give their whole devotion to the cause if their friends and relatives can at any time be subject to murder?" he asked. COLORADO STATESMAN STAFF ON VISIT TO BOULDER. Burdened with a summer's heat in office and workshop, enslaved to a task that compels an actual service of nearly 365 days per annum (if we must satisfy the literary longings of our subscribers and the newsy desires of our patrons)) we resolved to steal ourselves away to Boulder, where we could find relief in beholding the wonderful sceneries of nature's beautiful handiwork, reunion with old friends and acquaintances, receive the warm hand shake of our subscribers and participate in everything that would revivify the joys of the first Independence Day. We left early and returned late, and who would blame us if they had such a glorious opportunity, and experienced the worth and ability of our people in their perseverance to acquire success and their determination, in spite of many obstructions to achieve the goal of their ambition—from almost impenetrable darkness to a brilliant sunshine of hope, from subordination and comparative serfdom to real freedom and power After viewing nature's wonderment in the mountains' towering majestically in the background, forming as they seem a natural invincible or impregable fortification against any enemy invasion of the city; our eyes feasted on the plains with their objects of culture—vegetation in the most scientifically developed form, creating a striking contrast to the mountain peaks and these plats which reflect the highest credit on our agricultural schools and other institutions are the enviable possessions of many of our people whose names are to be found within the follo of the tax department as bona fide property owners. These were enough pleasures for us as the joy in being eye-witnesses of our people's progress filled us to the brim of our anticipated recreation. But no! We were not supposed to stop here, as coming in contact with pioneers, property owners, business men and women who, revelling in the relaxation from their diurnal duties in enjoying the holiday, requested us to participate in their joys and we found ourselves the gay recipients of the old-time hospitality characteristic of our folks of the homeland. To mention the variety of good things we sat down to and "put down" would compel us to wish another celebration of Independence Day within a short interval and would make us feel as one of the staff said, "on the heights of the Rockies today in Boulder, tomorrow at the bottom of the Platte river Denver (after his abdominal region was greatly inflated and he could not guarantee how long it would keep that way). A greater pleasure was also afforded us when we met Mr. and Mrs. Oscar White and Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hall, pioneers; Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Allen, Mrs. K. Denton, Mr. and Mrs. William Evans and Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Graves, personal friends and acquaintances, all possessing beautiful homes with gardens attached and entertaining us in a manner to keep alive pleasant memories of them. We must commend the citizens of Boulder for their successes which is the result of unusual energy, tact and good judgment, supported by devotion to duty and strict attention to business in whatever sphere they are placed. With much reluctance we bade goodbye and made the return trip to Denver, having been amply satisfied with our trip to Boulder, as we gathered material for the continuance of championing the cause of humanity and the Negro's part in the world's advancement. Our thanks to our Boulder friends and a debt of gratitude to your credit we hope to repay sooner or later for such extraordinary kind treatment. DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO.

Included in the list are Messrs Jesse Thrower, Myers, Manse and Mesdames Thrower, Muse, Anderson, Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Goff, Mr. and Miss Robinson and Mrs. Gash of Denver and Miss Hundley of St. Joe, Mo. Most of the party attended Allen chapel and then went to Bluebell canon where picnic lunches were served. The Robinson-Goff party motored up with Mr. James O. Banion. The Fourth of July was observed by a lively bunch at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Buckhalter. The ladies of Allen chapel served refreshments. Mrs. Reona Allen entertained last week at her beautiful residence for the benefit of the Red Cross fund. A neat sum was made. Mr. Oscar White and Mr. James Winn are indisposed this week. Prof. Dawley of Lincoln High in Kansas City addressed the Literary Society on Tuesday evening. Mr. George Gross delivered a stirring address on "A Step Toward Democracy," to a magnificent audience at Allen chapel on Sunday even- REGARDLESS of the tremendous advances in woolens, linings, trimmings and labor, we will, as usual, "clear" our stocks at the same prices which prevailed for years under normal conditions. You can forget the price asked for these summer suits, for prices are nothing when you realize that every garment in this stupendous assortment was made by one of America's recognized leading tailors, and the fabrics are from the foremost looms of the world. Our guarantee goes with every suit as to style, fit and service. Our great clearance sales—and this is our sixtieth—are simply the mediums through which we "clear" our stocks of broken lines and which enable us to conform to our inviolate policy of never carrying over merchandise from one season to another, regardless of war conditions, woolen situation, or other contingencies. MAY TH & CHAMPA ST MAY ing. Members of both races were present and were loud in the praise of Mr. Gross. Mrs. Gross was present also. Edwin, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joshua Reeves was severely burned about the body and face last week by exploding oil, but is considered out of danger at this writing. Messrs Hall of Denver, sons of Mr. and Mrs. James Hall were in town Tuesday and enjoyed a fishing trip. Miss Brewster of Dallas, Texas, is here for the summer. Miss Drew of Columbia, Mo., has returned to spend the summer. Mr. J. Krould has gone to Portland to assist Uncle Sam in building new ships. Mr. George Reeves visited in Denver last week. Boulder Lake, in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Graves is making the hit of the season. Further success to the management. Mr. and Mrs. Hall and Mr. and Mrs. Graves of 1825 Twenty-third street, entertained Mr. and Mrs. Joseph D. D. Rivers, proprietors of the Colorado Statesman in a sight-seeing trip by automobile in and around Boulder. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. E. Twenty-Third Ave. and Washington St. Presbyter-in-Charge, J. A.

THE LADIES' DEPARTMENT, Second Floor—at MICHAELSON'S COR. 15TH & LARIMER STS. is now holding a 1/3 OFF Waist Sale ALL GOODS NEW STYLES.... 78c up What Can We Do? 5 In previous articles directions for forming a Red Cross chapter and directions for forming an auxiliary to a chapter, have been given, together with suggestions for campaigns to secure members. When an auxiliary has been formed, the next thing to do is to determine what branch of Red Cross work this particular auxiliary will take up and how to go about doing the work. The American Red Cross is anxious to have available for use at any time a great quantity of surgical dressings and hospital supplies ready for the demands that come from hospitals where wounded soldiers and sailors are cared for. In the preparation of these supplies most women can help, if they will. A newly formed auxiliary can begin its services to the best advantage by taking up this branch of the work, for war makes the need for hospital supplies imperative and volunteer workers can do the work. Women in the churches throughout the country are interesting themselves in this means of service. Last Word in S The last word in summer blouses is convincing that they, with many other things, are devoted to simplicity. They are close to plain in design, satin bindings give them an exquisite finish, and the resourcefulness of designers has managed girdles, peplums and pockets in the cleverest ways. These items had to save the day for the plain blouse, otherwise it would have met with defeat and been branded as commonplace. There are many plain sleeves widened at the wrist, or near it, among the newest blouses, and bead and silk embroidery continue to appear in more of them. By means of soft, loose girdles, peplums or hanging pockets the blouse is so well adjusted to separate skirts that they seem made one for the other. The blouse shown in the picture is an example of the good arrangement of pockets and girdle. It is of sand-colored georgette crepe, bound with satin the same color, and the small buttons down the front are satin-covered. There are two reticule pock- How to Apply Beads. Beads continue to be of great importance in the fashion world. Women realize that they introduce a clever dash of color without adding bulk. The application of the beads is a tedious but not a difficult task. There are two ways to do the work. One is to take a stitch as each bead is strung. The other is to string the beads and couch the entire string to the material. The former method is more satisfactory. All surgical dressings and hospital supplies must be made, packed and shipped according to the specifications and standards of the Red Cross, which meet the requirements of the United States army and navy. In order that women may know how to prepare supplies that will conform to adopted standards, the Red Cross is directing much effort to the spread of instruction. The educational courses are under the supervision of Miss Clara D Noyes, director of the bureau of nursing service, in Washington. This instruction is carried on in two forms—either by supplying instructors for individual classes or in teaching centers, where permanent quarters are engaged and a corps of teachers conduct continuous classes. These centers are established now in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other places. For information concerning course of instruction, preparation of surgical dressings, address "Bureau of Nursing Service, Red Cross Headquarters, Washington, D. C." Summer Blouses ets suspended from the waist and a soft folded girdle of the crepe. The pockets are decorated with a conventional flower, which appears to be done in French knots of colored silk. They emphasize this new evolution of the pocket which places the blouse in the ranks of distinguished new arrivals. Georgette crepe and fine volle remain unchallenged favorite among materials for midsummer blouses. On the crepe models soutache braid, needlework, beads and fine lingerie laces are available for decorations. Laces and embroidery are liked best for volle blouses. A fine volle will repay its owner for a considerable outlay of time and work and for the price of good lace in making it, for it is about the most handy of all sheer materials and looks as well after laudering as before. Julia Bottomley Many of the new stuffs are made with borders, and most of the new gowns show borderings that are part of the material or added, while rich stuffs will be framed in handsome embroidered or woven bands. Blouses Collarless Behind. Some new blouses for taffored suits have a neckband attached only in front, leaving the neck bare at the back when the jacket is off. DEPARTMENT KEPT BUSY BY LETTERS Correspondence of Uncle Sam's Agricultural Experts Is Heavy. UNUSUALREQUESTSAREMADE Officials at Washington Are Asked for Information on Variety of Matters Ranging From Dress to Medicine. Though his daily mail may be a matter of speculation and interest, the average recipient often exclaims and sighs over the amount of work necessary in keeping his correspondence up to date. But what of a list that includes 65,000 correspondents and the arrival of from 1,000 to 8,000 letters a day? Such, indeed, is the correspondence of the department of agriculture. It is probably larger than that of any other government department, and the burden of maintaining it falls almost entirely upon the division of publications. In general the nature of this correspondence is much like that of a huge mail-order house. Demands for bulletins, reports and documents issued by the department form the bulk of it, but a decidedly personal note is touched in the numerous requests for miscellaneous information. Judging from these last, the department is, in the minds of many persons, the final authority on matters ranging from dress to medicines. "One important part of the work of the division of publications," said Joseph A. Arnold, its editor and chief, "is the replying to requests for information by typewritten letters where the department has no printed matter on the subject. The press bulletin matter issued through our office of information reaches a widely distributed public and frequently contains information that has not appeared in bulletin form. Interested persons, seeing these notices, write and request a publication covering the subject, making a specific letter necessary. We also frequently receive requests for information on subjects not properly coming within the scope of the department. These are sometimes both humorous and pathetic. "We usually classify the publications of the department as miscellaneous documents and farmers' bulletins. These latter are more in demand than ever. The number used by the bureaus, offices and divisions is rapidly increasing, caused undoubtedly in a large measure by the extension work of the department. The large number of farmers' bulletins sent to educational institutions for distribution to pupils represents really about one-tenth of the demand from that class of applicants, as it has been necessary in complying with these requests to forward only about one-tenth of the number requested and to inform the applicant that he may secure the additional copies needed from the superintendent of documents, government printing office, here in Washington, or possibly through the representative representing his district or a senator from his state." In one instance recently this suggestion, made in good faith, was very indignantly received. In reply came a letter addressed to the department: "Dear Sir: Can't we pull loose from the pork barrel? I will not sell my vote to any senator or representative for 75 cents. I will not pay 70 cents for a thing that 470,000 other American citizens get either gratis or in trade for their vote. Isn't this country big enough to stop the petty bribery of professional politicians?" Letters of Abuse Common. Necessarily, the department must answer such letters calmly. Indeed, letters of abuse, especially of the government clerk, are not infrequent. More numerous, however, are those requesting information which is entirely outside of the ken of the department. From time to time requests have been made for dress patterns. One woman wrote to ask how she might take indelible ink stains out of a black silk dress with white stripes in it. One old man, a city dweller for some seventy years, asked the best way to find employment in the country. Among the letters was that of a woman who wanted to know if gourds were poisonous, because she had eaten a green one ten days ago. These letters are only samples of the variety to be found in the mail bag of the department. The foreign mail is an interesting feature. This, so far as the publications of the department are concerned, continues to increase. During the last fiscal year there were forwarded to foreign countries $3,973 packages of publications at a cost of $2,295.48 in postage. In addition to the distribution of the documents of the department, the division of publications, under different branches, edits and illustrates them and conducts a system of indexing. The work of illustrating has grown steadily. This past year 87 requests for photographic work were received from persons outside of the department. A new feature of the work has been the establishment of a moving picture laboratory. The films are used by the department's representative in connection with field and demonstration meetings. PARKS ARE DEVELOPED PARKS ARE DEVELOPED New Bureau to Manage All of Uncle Sam's Playgrounds. Several Already Have Been Made Self-Supporting as Result of Increased Patronage. The National Park service which was created by congress to administer the national parks under one correlated system has been organized. Secretary Lane of the interior department has appointed as director Stephen T. Mather who, to accept the place, resigned the office of assistant to the secretary of the interior. Horace M. Albright becomes assistant director. Secretary Lane began the work of national parks development, the success of which is insured by the organization of this new bureau, two years and a half ago. During this preliminary period much has been accomplished of importance to the cause. All national parks have been opened to automobiles. New roads have been projected of which many have been built and many improved. Co-operation in the public interest has been promoted between railroads and the government, between concessioners and park managements, and between parks. Large private capital has been induced to enter several national parks for the enlargement and improvement of hotel and transportation service. Prices to the public have been decreased wherever possible. New concessions have been made on a basis destined to make national parks self-supporting under conditions of increased patronage, and several parks already have become self-supporting. Larger appropriations have been secured from congress for road building and the perfecting of sanitary and other conditions. An extensive educational campaign has been inaugurated for the information of the people concerning the hitherto unknown quality and extent of their scenic and recreational possessions, under which public interest in our national parks is growing with unanticipated speed; and public realization, interest and practical use is the condition as well as the object of national parks development. Public patronage of the parks has increased rapidly and steadily. These and many other beginnings point the way toward the system which it will be the object of the new service to build and perfect. Comes From Ireland to Rejoin Soldiers of Sea There's a little spot in Ireland that Michael McNamara had in his "moldo's eye" for a long time—thirty years, in fact. All that time Michael was obeying orders, drilling, campaigning and doing the hundred-and-one things that fall to the lot of the American marine. Michael finished his time, retiring with the rank of "sarjint major, no less," and went back to that little spot in County Mayo. Then came our participation in the war. Did Michael stay retired? He did not! He came right back, paying his own fare, and went directly to the U. S. Marine corps headquarters to volunteer his services. McNamara could have signed up with some Irish regiment, for, despite his fifty-odd years, he is still a "foine broth av a boy." Instead, he braved the submarines to fight under the flag that for thirty years he had called his own. URGES USE OF WHALE MEAT Uncle Sam's Bureau of Fisheries Expects Early Demand Both in Fresh and Preserved Form. For some time Uncle Sam's bureau of fisheries in correspondence and in personal interviews, has been advocating the use of the meat of whales, porpoises, dolphins, and other cetaceans for food. There is evidence of great interest now being manifested in this matter by whale fishermen on both coasts, and it would not be surprising to the bureau if within a short time the meat of whales and smaller cetaceans in both fresh and preserved form would be in demand and extensively utilized. Whales and porpoises are mammals, like cattle and sheep, and their flesh is "meat" and not "fish." In texture and appearance it resembles beef, though the color is darker red and the flavor is closer to that meat than any other. It is devoid of all fishy taste. It is likely that it will soon be obtainable fresh, corned, and canned, and it is recommended by the bureau to those who have the opportunity to purchase it. Whale meat was placed on the market in Seattle, Wash., and Portland, Ore. The product met with a ready sale at 10 cents a pound and was immediately placed on the menus of hotels and restaurants under its proper name. American Pianos Popular. Stocks of European pianos in Sao Paulo, Brazil, have been replaced by instruments of American makes, says Uncle Sam. That is attributed not only to the war, but to the superiority of the American instruments.

It is the pride of the regulars to say that they are always ready and it would seem to the civilian who reads the history of the standing army that the pride is not misplaced. ¢ There seems to be throughout the country a misunderstanding concerning enlistments in the regular army today. The registration of men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one for possible selection as soldiers in the new national army does not in any way Prevent the registered man from enlist- ing today in the regular army, the navy or the Marine corps. There ts still a chance for a man to become a volun- teer aad by becoming one to enter the ranks of an army which has made his- tory and will continue to make it 80 long as American fighting men take the field. «In the regular army the enlisted man ts assured of a fine quality of leader- ship. He is under the command of men who know the war game from its beginning to its end and who under-' stand thoroughly how to instill a strict discipline which is good for the men and for the service because, while necessarily strict, it has for its spirit a kindly consideration and a knowl- edge of the needs of the soldier. More- .over, the regular army officers know how to care thoroughly for the health of their men. Thoroughly Trained Leaders. It must not be understood from this that the new national army will not be well led and well cared for, but in the regular service the entire person- nel of the commissioned ranks 1s that of men who have had the best kind of training with special reference to the guidance of thdse who shall be under their control. In the national army in each organization there will be some regular officers, whose duty it will be to impart to the newer officers the things which they have learned by long experience. Both services will be of the highest order. ‘The young man wo enlists in the reg- ular service has every chance of pro- motion. He enters as a private, but there is an opportunity for him while atill an enlisted man to secure a posi- tion which will pay him $81 a month in addition to'his entire support so far as food, clothing, lodging and medical attendance are concerned. The gov- ernment gives all these things gratis. ‘There is always an opportunity for enlisted men of the United States army who are mentally and physically alert to secure commissions, and there- by to pass from the ranks of an en- lsted man to that of an officer, and be assufed of a profession for the rest of his life. Enlisted men who re- main enlisted men in the army can re- tire after 30 years service with good pay and allowance. Pay in the Army. In order that the young man who desires to become a volunteer through enlistment in the United States army, for probable first service in the field of the present war, may know just what his pay will be, the following table is given by which he can de- termine almost at a glance what his “monthly money” will amount to, and while studying the table he should re- member that the government takes it upon Itself to keep him in food and clothing, to give him lodging and med- jeal attendance and, in fact, to provide for him every necessary of life free of cost.

It will be seen from the table that men who qualify as good shots, or who, because of their capabilities, are given certain positions, receive an increase of monthly pay. It may also be suid that each enlisted man who serves in the aviation corps receives an addition of 50 per cent in his pay while he is on duty that requfres him to participate regularly and frequently in aerial flights, or while holding , the rating of aviation mechantician. The regular army of the United States dates back for its organization to the year 1189, when it was a body of men barely 500 in number. Prior to this time there was a force, the units of which were paid by the dif- ferent states, or {t might-almost be said colonies, for it was not until 1789 that the United States as the United States came into existence. The fed- eral government took over a part of these state forces and formed the orig- inal regular army. The regulars fought Indians from the very start of their existence as an organized body. They made a fine record for themselves small as were their numbers in the war of 1812. Later they took up the work of guarding the frontier, and the history of the army for years and years was one of self- sacrifice, of devotion to duty, and of achievement in the fields so far re moved from civilization that the people never realized what their little force was doing for them. ‘To the fact that the high work of the regulars was done for so many years in remote fields was due the lack of the people's apprecia- tion of the heroism of their standing army. Long List of Achievements. It was the regulars who suffered in the Fort Dearborn massacre on the Site of Chicago over a hundred years ago; it was the regulars under Major Dade who in Florida, hopelessly out- numbered and ambushed, fought until almost the Iast man was killed, the Seminole Indians under the fine leader- ship of one of Osceola’s chieftains. It was the regulars who went to death in the country of the Rosebud under the white chief, Custer; it was?a little band of regulars who met Big Foot and his warriors on Wounded Knee creek {n 1890 and won the fight after appall- ing losses. It was the regulars who, fought Red Cloud, Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph, and who followed Geronimo, ‘The Kid, and other savage Apaches, into the mountain fastnesses of Mexi- co, It was the regulars who from the beginning until the present day have dared everything for their country. Their record 1s a magnificent one. The regular army is now being brought up to a war standard of strength. When the ranks are full there will be following the ‘colors as a part of the regular establishment some 285,000 Americans. Any young Ameri- can today has an opportunity to be come by volunteering a member of this devoted band. It means service, and hard service, but it also means high service, and in all human probability glorious service. Hardships there will be in plenty; dangers, a multitude, but there are the compensations of service that 1s service, and of a sense of patriotic duty done in a field of life into which devotion to country calls the young American. Organization of the Army. ‘The organtzation of the army today 1s different from the organization of other days. In the old days there was no aviation service and little or no signal service of any kind. The med- teal service was crude; the artillery had not become the great factor in warfare that It is today, and there was less specialization along all lines of military endeavor. Let us take the American army as it 1s provided for under the law of today, a time when we are in war with a great military power. Of course it must be remembered that in addition to the regular army we shall have the great new national army, the National Guardsmen, the navy and the Marine corps to help us win in the fight for the liberty of the world. ‘The regular army of the United States upon the present war footing owe gla I capt ce ect Saas eS: Oe Point, and other smaller organizations used for disciplinary grades, service schools, and record depot detachments and for some other purposes. How It Is Commanded. An army 1s a huge body of men gath- ered together for fighting purposes in different units of organization. An army when it passes a certain strength usually is commanded by a general. ‘Today there 1s no general in the Unit- ed States army, but it is probable that within a few months congress will re- vive the rank and name some officer, who, taking the title of general, shall have supreme command of all the fight- ing forces in the field. ‘An army {s composed of army corps. ‘There may be two or three or more corps in an army. Sometimes when theré 1s a huge number of troops im the fleld one general {s put in supreme command while his forces are divided into several armies, each one in com- mand of a lleutenant general. It 1s likely that congress soon will make Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing @ lMeuten- ant general and put him in command of the First corps, consisting of several divisions of troops, to see service in France. A division of troops 1s commanded by a major general. It is composed of several brigades, each one of which is commanded by a brigadier general. It 1s possible for a brigade to consist of a combination of cavalry, infantry and artillery, but frequently each bri- gade 1s composed of regiments all of the same branch of the service. The typical infantry brigade, for instance, consists of a headquarters and three regiments of infantry, while a typical cavalry brigade consists of a head- quarters and three regiments of cav- alry. . Composition of the Regiment. Each regiment 1s commanded by a colonel, who has under him a lieuten- ant colonel, whose duties are rather nondescript, although his chief duty is to take the place of the colonel in his absence or in ease‘he {s wounded or killed in battle. Ench regiment 1s divided Into bat- talions, and earch battalion ‘is com- manded by a major. A battalion con- sists of two or more companies, troops or batteries, and each company is com- manded by a captain. In each com- pany there is a first lieutenant and a second lieutenant, and complete com- plement of noncommissioned oMgers, first sergeants, duty sergeants, and cproreles he company is divided into squads for purposes of instruction, discipline, control and order, each squad consist ing of a corporal and seven privates. ‘The corporal is the squad. leader, and when absent is replaced by desig- nated private. It might be sald that from the squad, consisting as It does only of # corporal and seven privates, the whole formation of an army is de- veloped and in a sense regdlated. The squad is 2 small base unit from which armies take their growth by = series of developing steps. Men who enter the United States army as recruits have the same chance that men had years ago not only to be- come commissioned efficers, but to reach the high place of command ef all the armies of their country. Does this seem te be an’ exagger ated statement? Only recently there died a leutenant general of the United States army who commanded all the forces of Uncle Sam. He entered the service as an enlisted man of regulars, going to a recrulting office just as any boy of today can go to a recruiting office there to don the uniform of a private, Inter to enter the ranks, and if it is In him to work his way up to the top. Private Goes to Top. On July 22, 1861, Lieut. Gen. Adna R, Chaffee applied for enlistment as a regular in the army of the United States. There was nothing to differ- entiate him from other young men who applied dally at the recruiting office. He was assigned as a private to Troop K of the Sixth cavalry, an organization which exists today and in which John J. Pershing, now commanding our forces in France, saw his first hard fighting duty. General Chaffee rose from private to sergeant, to first ser- geant, to second lieutenant and through the rest of the ranks until he was made leutenant general of the United States army, the ranking officer of Uncle Sam's forces. Chaffee was a soldier of the highest order. His career in the Spanish- American war was markedly efficient. He fought at San Juan and later went to the Philippines. While there he was ordered to take command of the Amer ican forces which were to Join the al- Med forces in thelr march on Peking, the forbidden city. ‘Phat was one of the most successful ahd hard-working The KITCHEN CADINE Ts In the development of flavor lies the secret of good cooking, and in the enjoyment of It the art of wholesome eating.-Henry Finck USE MORE NUTS.

DENVER, COLO Where Water Is Precious In Cape Town, where water—especially in the hot summer months—is a very precious fluid, it is the custom to shut off the supply at night, in order to eliminate waste as far as possible. The authorities complain that persons frequently go to a tap to draw water after the supply has been shut off for the day, and finding no water, thoughtlessly leave the tap open. Consequently the next morning when the supply is turned on a large quantity of water runs to waste unnoticed.

The Organizers of The Capitol Petroleum Company HAVE NOT BEEN MAKING MUCH NOISE, BUT HAVE BEEN QUIETLY DOING THINGS JUST THE SAME We have contracted for the drilling of the first well in our 597-acre tract in Burbon County, Kansas. The Doherty holdings join us on one side, and the Tulsa Supply Company on another. There is a producing gas well just across the line, and there are forty-nine producing oil wells and two gas wells within a small radius. The pipeline of The Kansas Natural Gas Company passes near this tract, and they have agreed to connect on at their own expense and pay the highest market price for the products. The big refinery of The Eastern Kansas Refining Company is just ten miles west. In fact, there will be no trouble at all to find a market right at the source of production. FIELD MANAGER WIRES: "HAVE DRILLING CONTRACTOR READY TO MOVE ON RIG AND FURNISH US CASING. THREE WELLS STARTED NEAR THESE LEASES THIS WEEK." (Signed) JOHN W. McGEE. From a newspaper clipping which refers to this dictict: "The Uncle Sam Oil Company was the original operator of the Cherryvale field, drilling the first test there 14 years ago. Forty-five wells are now drilling. Two pipe lines were built to the field. The Wright Producing Company drilled forty-five wells before getting a duster. The Vale Oil Company has drilled twelve wells without missing the sand. The Women's Federal Oil Company has drilled thirteen producers in succession in the field." Isn't Our Chance Just as Good? We could make a long story by going into details about our other holdings, but we do not consider it necessary at this time. The above is sufficient to show that the proposition is substantial—that we mean business—that we intend to make a business of oil production—and that the stock is worth all we ask for it, and more, too.

Always Better for Less. Here's a Chance to Get All the Style, Without Spending All Your Money. Violins Keeping Tone. The best violin makers use timber which has been seasoned for many years, sometimes centuries, buying beams from ancient buildings for the purpose. Changes in the grain of the wood caused by shrinkage, or weathering, will affect the tone of a violin materially. The Italian school of makers invented varnishes which were believed to have preservative qualities and to prevent changes in timber texture.
