LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FOOD CONSERVATION DAY SUNDAY, OCT.21 To Be Observed in All the Churches of the Country FOOD CON DAY SUNDA To Be Observed in of the Washington, D. C.—Sunday, Oct. 21, is to be observed as food conservation day in all the churches of the country, in response to a patriotic call made to them by the food administra- tion. It is expected that on this day the claims of food conservation will be presented to all congregations, and the home and pledge card program described so the people will know what is coming and be ready to respond. During the next few weeks an effort will be made to organize every church, society and other organization to help enroll all families for food conservation. Every man, woman and child can make some contribution toward the winning of this war, and all good Americans will do their duty as soon as it is shown to them. It is only a question of a few weeks before a million Americans will be on the battlefield, fighting for democracy. Some will give freely their lives for the cause. They are determined to win this war, and win it they must. But we must realize that they must be fed and it is up to us to feed them. Not only are we required to feed our own, but we must feed the allies, for in France, England and Italy food is scarce, and we must supply it. Only a little care is required from each of us. If each individual of our millions saves a little the total will be immense. The American Negro must do his part. The ministers must write to Arthur U. Craig, United States Food Administration, Washington, D. C., and get full information and prepare their people to take part in the October drive. They must all do their duty. The race has always been loyal and patriotic, and it must keep up the record now. If it were necessary to eat only one meal a day in order to help win the war, then we would do that. But this is not necessary. We are not asked to starve ourselves. Mr. Herbert Hoover, United States food administrator, asks that all loyal Americans "eat plenty, but wisely and without waste." Our sons will be in the trenches side by side with the white men. With them they will go to victory or to death. They will defend with their lives Old Glory, and they stand ready now to do what they are told. Fortunately for the Negro race in America, we know but one flag, one country and one president. We are not foreigners, but are truly Americans. There are not enough Germans in the world to get one Negro to raise his hands against Old Glory. For the education of our people in the matter of food conservation, every Negro editor in the country will throw open his columns and freely give his space. They are anxious to help in this fight, and are asking the government to tell them what is wanted and it shall be done. Twelve million colored people in the United States must be reached and they must be educated. The selection of Arthur U. Craig of Washington, D. C., for this work is considered by the colored people themselves a good selection. This department is being thoroughly organized, with some of the best colored men and women in the country connected with it. Every organization among Negroes is co-operating in the work. They are assigning one or more of their best workers to be associated with Mr. Craig, and these workers, as he is, are serving without pay. They are patriotic. They are interested in their country. COLOR LINE DRAWN IN PALOS PARK SCHOOL. Palos Park, Ill., Oct. 5.—Mrs. Bertha Thomas (white) was tried before Justice Kendall Monday on a charge of threatening to horsewhip any person who endeavored to prevent race children from attending the school in that district. Miss Burnadette Bremmer, also white, filed the charge. The case will be continued next week. Ku Klux Klan Method Used. "I was driving to the school," Mrs. Thomas said, "when I met the three small colored children running furiously down the road. I stopped them and they told me two men swathed in white sheets had told them to get out and never come back. I took them back and demanded of Miss Bremmer what she meant by such work, and her answer was unsatisfactory. I suppose I brandished my whip around a little too much. "When I left the school I met Mrs. McCord, a member of the school board, and two men. We talked for a while and I told them what I thought of such an un-American practice. The men jumped out of Mrs. McCord's car and took my whip from me and whipped me with it. I was rescued by some farm hands working nearby." Mrs. Eaton, mother of Kenneth, Nathan and Alice Eaton, the children driven from school, had been to see the state's attorney and was told that her children would not be molested. Mrs. Eaton told of several letters Mrs. McCord had read to her, and that she had called in person on several occasions and prevailed upon her not to send her children to school. Refused to Teach Race Students. Miss Bremmer, employed as teacher in the district school, had resigned once because she declined to accept members of the race in her class. She has been very airish and uppish in her disposition ever since, it is claimed. From the last report, Miss Bremmer has returned to the schoolroom and waived her protest of teaching race pupils. But for the loss of a few dollars, she is perfectly happy to earn a livelihood at this occupation and seems willing to suffer the irony of acknowledging ignorant mislearnings.

SCOTT MADE ADVISOR TO SECRE TARY BAKER. Washington, D. C.—Emmett J.

Washington, Sept. 29, 1917.—Alfred Lord, 27, physically fit and ready for service in the new National Army, committed suicide when the army surgeons at the Chillicothe, Ohio, cantonment told him there was Negro blood in his veins and he could not serve in a regiment with white men. Lord had always thought himself white and had associated with white men all his life. Lord left his home at Mineral City, Ohio, last Monday in fine spirits and eager for service with 105 of his fellow townsmen, but when the army physicians examined him they said he must go with a colored regiment. NEGRO SOLDIERS TAKE Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 7.—Five hundred and thirty-six enlisted men of a detachment of 691 Negro cavalrymen of the regular army stationed at Fort Huachuca, near here, have subscribed to $47,400 worth of Liberty bonds, according to an announcement today by J. N. Gaines, county salesman in the loan campaign. Among the men are veterans of General Pershing's expedition into Mexico, including the survivors of the fight at Carrizal, in which Captain Boyd and Lieutenant Adair were killed. TEN NEGROES GUILTY Belleville, Ill., Oct. 7.—Ten of the thirteen Negroes who have been on trial here for a week charged with the murder of Detective Samuel Coppegge on the morning of July 2 last, which precipitated the East St. Louis, Ill., race riots, were convicted today and sentenced to fourteen years each in the penitentiary. Three were acquitted. Those found guilty were: Fayette Parker, Othaniel Peoples, George Roberts, Horace Thomas, Marshall Alexander, Dee Smothermann, Albert Hughes, Bud Townsend, Will Palmer and Charles Foster. After the verdict was read, attorneys for the state told the court that the state had other charges against the three Negroes who were acquitted, and they were remanded to jail. Tomorrow hearings in the cases of the white men indicted in connection with the riots will be opened. EXODUS OF NEGROES CUTS Chicago, Oct. 10.—Shortage or labor due to the exodus of thousands of Negroes from Southern states to the North, with unfavorable weather conditions in the early spring, have resulted in a 15 per cent decrease in this year's crop of naval stores, turpentine, pitch, tar and resin, according to the statements made in a committee report adopted today at the annual meeting of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish association. The United States is now the sole source of supply in these stores for the allied navies and merchant marine. W. H. Crawford of Cincinnati, chairman of the committee on naval stores, said: "We believe that the German propaganda that induced the Negroes to leave the South was directed against the indispensable naval stores as well as against cotton." WHAT A CONVENTION DID FOR MUSKOGEE There were at least 20,000 to 25,000 people who came to Muskogee to the National Baptist Convention and they left in that beautiful city fully $200,000. This same wonder city entertained the National Negro Business League some time ago, much to its credit and much to its profit. Grand lodges go there and organizations of all sorts are attracted to Muskogee for their annual sessions. As a result, Muskogee Negroes have grown richer and better known all over America. One Muskogee colored drug store proprietor last week declared that his cash registered from $350 to $400 each day during the session. One Negro tailor employed six extra men to press clothes. Restaurants charged 35 cents for meals that surely had a profit in them and black chauffeurs reaped a barrel of dollars. Rooming houses (some of them) charged as high as $2 for a bed and it was paid, and nobody kicked, and every other activity of black folks, including dry goods stores, hamburger stands and boot blacks reaped a golden harvest. In other words, the Muskogee Negro business men grasped a years profit in a week from the National Baptist Convention. A great many of these will not be on the anxious seat again this year about financial affairs, because of the dollars left by the Baptist hosts. Oklahoma City Black Dispatch. Fort Bliss, Texas, Oct 8. Thirteen of the 156 Negro soldiers held in the stockade here in connection with the rioting in Houston, Texas, Aug. 23 were ordered upon recommendation of the board of inquiry which found they had no part in the rioting.

Anderson, former collector of ports, to receive and entertain the Imperial Japanese Commission, headed by His Excellency, Viscount Kikujiro Ishii, Japanese leading statesman. The ex-collector was placed next to Baron Isamu Takeshiti, Vice Admiral Japanese Navy, and Judge Elbert H. Gary, president U. S. Steel Corporation. Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 5.—Frank W. Howell (white), secretary of the Dayton Defense League, has issued a statement concerning the condition of Company C. Ninth Battalion, in camp at the National Military Home. He asserts that they have been in the federal service since June and have not received pay, shoes nor clothing. Some walk 15 miles each day with shoes having absolutely no soles and wear coats that are next to their bare skin. Yet he claims they do not complain. Alantic City, N. J., Sept. 25, 1917.—The American Bankers' Association has met in this city. The report of the president, John Mitchell, Jr., on the work of the Nation Wide Thrift Campaign among Colored people produced much favorable comment. Mr. Mitchell showed that the annual producing power of the Colored people of the country is six hundred million dollars. Washington, Oct. 8.—Negroes in the draft from northern states will be trained at Yaphank, Wrightstown, Annapolls Junction, Chillicothe, Rockford, Des Moines and Fort Riley, the war department decided today. A regiment of Negroes at each cantonment will be officered by white soldiers of rank abovb captain. Six hundred and twenty-six Negroes, captains and lieutenants, who will complete their training at the camp at Des Moines, Iowa, this week will be assigned to the seven cantonments. NO 8 Indianapolis, Ind.—A new school problem—how to care for the increased number of Colored pupils—has arisen in the last 10 days. Six of the 11 exclusively Colored schools are overcrowded, four of them being conducted on half-day sessions. Heretofore only three of the schools have been crowded, and then nothing like the present conditions. The Colored school enrollment, which is an increase of 500 over former years, is about one-ninth of the total school enrollment. The number of Colored pupils—grades and high school—exceeds 4,200, while the total school enrollment is 36,454. The 11 exclusively Colored grade schools have an enrollment of 3,571. OPEN ALL THE LABOR UNIONS TO COLORED Chicago, Ill.—"Let us open all unions to the Negro," says the Chiego Labor News, in commenting on a report of the East St. Louis race riots in which discrimination of unions against the Negro was criticized. The labor paper admits that "many of the unions have discriminated shamefully against the Negro." It adds "And we condemn them haartily for so doing." The News continues, "It is ridiculous to say that the I. W. W. is the only labor organization that welcomes the Negro. In the United Mine Workers alone, at the present time, there are more Negroes than the I. W. W. has had all told in its ranks since it was founded. And this takes no account of the thousands of Negroes in scores of other trade unions. The Asphalt Pavers Union of Chicago, one of the best in the city, is composed entirely of Negroes. So is local No. 208 of the musicians. And of the Chicago Flat Janitors Uuion, which ranks high among the most powerful and militant organizations in this city, fully 25 per cent of the 7,000 members are colored. Various other similar examples could be cited." PAPER SLACKERS, will you kindly take up the slack of your subscription and help us to pull?

Fiscal Agent 501 Boston Bldg., Denver IMMENSE LOT OF WORK DONE BY CONGRESS Session Remarkable, of Course, for Its Action on War Members, as a General Thing, Were Harmonious—Administration Successful in Most Legislation Washington.—"The most remarkable session in the parliamentary history of the world," was the way Democratic and Republican leaders characterized the first war session of the Sixty-fifth congress, which came to a close at three o'clock in the afternoon of October 6, exactly six months after the declaration of war against Germany. The record of legislation enacted and money appropriated has no parallel anywhere in the annals of all time. Beginning with the declaration of war against Germany in April, congress has passed bill after bill of the most revolutionary character, including such measures as the draft bill and the food control bill. Appropriations and contract authorizations for the present fiscal year, totalling $21,890,000,000, including $7,000,000,000 in loans to the allies, were voted without a single dissenting voice, a record equalled nowhere, not even in the kaiser-dominated German reichstag. How Money Is Expended. The following table shows how the money is to be spent: Army ..... $8,911,000,000 Navy ..... 1,875,000,000 Merchant shipping fleet ..... 1,889,000,000 Loans to the allies ..... 7,000,000,000 Defense fund for— President ..... 100,000,000 Food and fuel control ..... 173,000,000 Soldiers' and sailors' insurance ..... 175,000,000 Interest on bonds and certificates ..... 200,000,000 Civil establishment of government ..... 958,000,000 All other expenses ..... 102,000,000 As a part of the scheme of meeting these enormous expenditures congress passed the $2,535,000,000 war revenue bill, the largest taxation bill in American history, levying directly or indirectly upon every man, women and child in the United States. Something more than a billion dollars of this amount will be taken from war profits. All incomes more than $1,000 for single men and more than $2,000 for married men are made subject to taxation. Where New Taxes Fall. Here are some things upon which the average citizen will pay taxes under the new war tax bill: Approximately 2 per cent increase on incomes of $5,000 or less. Letter postage, except local letters, increased to 3 cents and postcards to 2 cents, beginning November 3. One cent for each 10 cents paid for admissions to amusements. Five-cent shows and 10-cent outdoor amusement parks exempted. inusement parks exempted. Ten per cent on all club dues of $12 a year or more. One cent for each 25 cents paid for parcel post.

Ten per cent of charges for seats, berth and staterooms on parlor cars or vessels. Five cents on each telegraph, telephone or radio message costing 15 cents or more. Three per cent on jewelry. Eight cents on each $100 of life insurance. The tax on whisky is increased from $1.10 a gallon to $3.20. The tax on beer is increased from $1 a barrel to $2.75. Increased tax on cigars, cigarettes and manufactured tobacco and snuff. Little Dissension During Session. Despite pacifist activities, the session was marked with comparatively little dissension, the fighting centering about questions mainly affecting policy. The most stubborn contests were staged over the revenue bill, the draft bill and the food control bill. In every case, except censorship of the newspapers and speech, the administration has received everything it asked of congress for the conduct of the war. Congress was in session 188 days. During that time more than 10,000 army, navy and marine corps nominations sent to the senate were confirmed, among them the advancement of Major General Pershing, commander in chief of the armies in France, and Major General Bliss, chief of staff, to the rank of full general, held only four times previously in American his- MOVE TO AID WAR CAPTIVES Governments of Great Britain and Germany by Agreement Will Seek to Ameliorate Conditions. Washington.—Details of an agreement between the British and German governments concerning combatant and civilian prisoners of war, which if kept by the Teuton officials delegated to carry it out will greatly ameliorate the condition of the wretched captives held in Germany, are made public in a tory. The only important appointment held up was that of Col. Carl Reichmann, to be a brigadier general. Action was blocked until the December session because it was charged he uttered pro-German sentiments. An unprecedented feature of the session was the reception of the special missions sent to the United States by the allied governments, and the special representatives of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Russia and Japan addressed both houses. Invitations of the British and French governments to have the United States send a congressional mission across the Atlantic to see war conditions and co-operate with the interparliamentary congress were rejected. Important Measures Passed. Following is a list of the most important measures passed by congress: Resolution declaring a state of war exists between the imperial German government and the government and the people of the United States and making provision to prosecute the same. On April 2 the resolution for war against Germany was introduced in the house and on April 6, or four days after the assembling of congress, the president attached his signature to the measure. No delay was involved in the passage of this resolution, perhaps the most important ever offered either in this or any other congress. General deficiency appropriation act, appropriating $163,841,400.52, of which $100,000,000 was for the national security and defense and for each and every purpose connected with the war. Act authorizing an issue of bonds to meet expenditures for the national security and defense and for the purpose of assisting in the prosecution of the war and to extend credit to foreign governments and for other purposes.

Havre, Oct. 5.—The Belgium government has issued a gray book to refute allegations against Belgium civilians contained in the German white book of May, 1915, in which it was said Belgian civilians savagely attacked German troops in the early days of the war and that the measures adopted by the Germans were necessary in the interest of preservation of the German army. According to the gray book, between 40,000 and 50,000 houses were destroyed by the Germans. JACKIE KILLS FRIEND; IS HELD Queenstown Magistrate Says Fatal Blow Constitutes Manslaughter—To Get Ball.

FOOD PLEDGE WEEK CAMPAIGN COMING OCTOBER 21 TO 28 --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN Every Family Must Do Utmost to Conserve Resources and Lend Money to Nation So We May Crush Enemy. LEARN LESSONS OF ECONOMY Washington.—America's place in the industrial competition of nations that will follow peace will be determined in large part by the response that the American people make to the coming food pledge week campaign. This is the belief of the United States food administration and is one of the thoughts that is spurring on its forces in their preparations by enrolling the families of the nation in the cause of food conservation during the week of October 21. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West "When the war is over," the food administrator declared recently, "Europe will find herself with a reduced standard of living, with a people greatly disciplined in all directions, and in a position to compete in the world's markets in a way that they never have been able before. We shall also face a world with a reduced consuming power, and unless we can secure such discipline in our own people, we will be in no position to meet that condition when peace comes." The idea that the purpose of food saving is not alone the present one of feeding our army and the allies, is further developed by the belief of the food administration that wars are paid for out of the savings of the people. It is pointed out that the decision is up to the American people right now, whether they are to help pay for the present conflict out of the savings of today or after the war by mortgaging the future of the people. A saving of six cents a day per person will amount to two billion dollars a year. ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. If the United States were an autocratic country there would be no popular appeal for the conservation of food. There would be an autocratic food control. The mailed fist would rule in the kitchen. Imperial food decrees would be enforced at the point of the bayonet. But ours is not an autocratic country. Food control is in the hands of the people themselves, and it is to the people that the food administration has appealed in the food pledge card campaign. Herbert Hoover has termed this appeal an "unprecedented adventure in democracy"—an adventure that will determine whether or not a democratic form of government is, after all, fitted to engage in a death grapple with autocracy. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The food pledge week campaign resolves itself into an effort to secure as a result of voluntary agreement pledges insuring the general support of a well-defined program of food conservation. The food pledge week campaign represents an effort to induce as many American homes as possible to unite in a common policy. Our wheat reserves can be conserved if everybody helps. Our meat reserves can be conserved if the whole public co-operates. The American people are asked to join together in a common conservation policy. As evidence that they are supporting this policy they are asked to hang a card-denoting membership in the United States food administration in their window. In order that the conservation policy may be understood, the reasons for it made plain, and the manner of observing it rendered certain, instruction cards—"The War Creed of the Kitchen," are to be hung in the home. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. And that is what the national food pledge week campaign is all about. Whole Family Under Fire. A land owner of Vergeze, according to a Paris correspondent, has received the following letter from his son, a staff captain: "I heard a strange story today, that a woman and a boy of sixteen had been found among the men of the ____ battalion of unmounted chausseurs. An investigation was made, and they were found to be the wife and son of a chausseur who had determined not to be separated from him. Both went into the trenches with other pollis, and the most striking thing about it is that they had been with the battalion for five months before the authorities found out. Of course everybody in the battalion knew, but as you see, the secret was well kept. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. "As an old chausseur yourself, you will be proud to learn that a father, mother and son have been under fire together in your old battalion." TWODOLLARSAYEAR When Success Is Sweetest. Success is sweet; the sweeter if long delayed and attained through manifold struggles and defeats.—Alcott. Hay Fever Pollens. The development of hay fever in any locality depends upon the atmospheric hay fever pollens increasing to a point which overcomes the resistance of the patient," says Doctor Scheppegrell. "It was ascertained that most of the spring and summer cases of hay fever are caused by the pollen of the grasses, although the pollen of other plants, such as the yellow dock, amaranth, goose foot, etc., may cause the attack or help to maintain it when set up by the grass pollens."

WE STILL advise our people to invest in oil stocks, but the present mushroom growth of oil companies compels us to offer the word CAUTION to investors. "Your young men shall dream dreams and your old men shall see visions," coming from the good book, may be applicable here in the way of a little warning, as the rush to acquire stock seems to make the individual lose sight of inquiring into the stability of the firm. There are firms and firms. It is wise to get in on the ground floor, but re member, without the investigation necessary to impress you with the solidity of the company you are attaching yourself to and the kind of stocks you are purchasing, the old regret may sooner or later be yours. Some dreams wear such a phase of reality and some visions are so impressive that hardly any other result seems practical but success, but with the oil business there is a standard of calculation, and if we go about it carefully and intelligently there is no guesswork or problem to be solved in respect to safe purchase and sure return; but the facts you must know which give you the basis of calculation must be so plain that a child can understand them, as the same should be more transparent than opaque. Make, therefore, such inquiries as to who is behind the company, officers and directors of experience in the oil business, location of the property, capital of the company, and whether shares are assessable or non-assessable at any time; whether there is honesty in the protection of your interests and how your dividends will be paid you, etc., and, on these questions being answered to your satisfaction, then you can thoroughly analyze as any other business venture, satisfying yourself and investing. BUY STOCK, again we say, but in buying BE CAUTIOUS, SAFETY FIRST. IN ACCORDANCE with the law of SELF-PRDSERVATION, one cannot help from giving heed to the request of the United States Food Administration Department to organize for the purpose of conserving the food of our country, as this plays one of the most important parts in the victory we are bent on achieving in this great world conflict, and, therefore, we urge that our readers study carefully the facts contained in our front-page article on FOOD CONSERVATION DAY, which must seriously engage the mind of every member of this American family who, at heart, echoes and re-echoes "My Country." We have not much to add in reference to this day, as the article so plainly awakens us of our duty to cursels and our neighbors, and as we realize that we are part and parcel of the human family fighting for the preservation of a civilization, which, if overthrown, means a sure return to the barbarism and savagery of the dark ages, so should we aid our government and put into effect every suggestion productive of securing the best results beneficial to our nation and those allied with us in the cause for HUMANITY'S RIGHT AND FREEDOM. But an opportunity presents itself which we cannot allow to pass over lightly, as the more emphasis placed upon it the fuller realization of the responsibility devolved on us in this struggle in which we must be victorious if we work and act together as UNITED AMERICA—the resolution of true Americans—and the following must strikingly bring home to us the important and specially helpful contribution we can make towards conserving our food if we will keep foremost in our mind's eye, "One flag, one country, one president;" "We are not foreigners, but truly Americans;" "Eat plenty, but wisely and without waste;" "The Negro's loyalty and patriotism." These need no elaboration, as they are firmly rooted in the mind of the Negro and should be the guidance of every other citizen of this country, and the Colorado Statesman, feeling duty bound to support this movement, this necessary and desirable point in our nation's life, calls out loudly and appeals forcibly to its thousands of homes where it finds a place and time to be read to support heartily all efforts working towards this great day, which will go down in the pages of American history to the credit of a race, a people, a nation. Ministers of the Gospel, you have another opportunity to prove the good work you are doing in this community, and the pleasurable duty assigned you to instruct our people in this important feature of our preservation will be crowned with the reward of an unanimous response on Sunday, October 21—the RED-LETTER DAY in the lives of America and Americans. influential accounts for the small number within it. Considerable missionary work is done but it is a battle against great odds. Leaders of the Negro race, who are earnestly striving for the redemption of their people through social and economic betterment might well turn their thoughts to that great and growing institution, the Catholic Church. Without doubt it would prove a haven of refuge to the colored man, and be his sure defense for his rights as an American. (From the New World) The Catholic Church with its strength and organization, with its reasoned appeal to the emotions, with its broadness of vision, would prove the salvation of the colored race. Catholicity really influences the Negro. Where it has established its sway over the minds and hearts of the Negro you have a splendid Christian and an exemplary citizen. In view of the social and religious needs of the colored race it is lamentable that the Catholic Church has not reached a tithe of its people. The location of the race where the church was least The Proverb of Success. "Yes," said the millionaire, "I not only made hay while the sun shone, but I made it from the grass that grew under other people's feet." This World Cannot Exist Half Despotism and Half Democracy By Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University One of the oldest and subtlest philosophies in the world teaches that the whole of history consists in the struggle between the principle of good and the principle of evil. It teaches that now one, now the other, is uppermost, but that as the good principle overcomes the evil, or as the evil principle overcomes the good, so mankind marches forward to freedom or it falls back into serfdom and slavery. PETER H. The great struggle between the good and the evil principle has taken, in this twentieth century, the form of a contest between two political and social principles which cannot live together in this world. And that is why this contest must be settled by force of arms. If those two principles had anything in common, an adjustment between them might possibly be reached; but each principle absolutely excludes the other. As Abraham Lincoln said a generation ago, "This nation cannot exist half slave and half free," so it may be said today. "This world cannot exist half despotism and half democracy." Democracy must in its way dispose of despotism or despotism will in its way overcome democracy. Therefore it is to no ordinary task that this nation goes forward. It is not a struggle to which one may be for a moment indifferent. It is the deepest and most tremendous conflict that all history records. Would Life Be Tolerable if the Power of Prussianism Held World by Throat? Would Life Be Tolerable if the Power of Prussianism Held World by Throat? By Otto H. Kahn, Banker and Philanthropist It is the purpose of a common determination to fight and to bear and to dare everything and never to cease nor rest until the accursed thing which has brought upon the world the unutterable calamity, the devil's visitation of this appalling war, is destroyed beyond all possibility of resurrection. That accursed thing is not a nation, but an evil spirit, a spirit which has made the government possessed by it and executing its abhorrent and bloody bidding, an abomination in the sight of God and men. Speaking as one born of German parents, I do not hesitate to state it as my deep conviction that the greatest service which men of German birth or antecedents can render to the country of their origin is to proclaim and to stand up for the great and fine ideals and national qualities and traditions which they inherited from their ancestors, and to set their faces like flint against the monstrous doctrines and acts of a rulership which have robbed them of the Germany which they loved and in which they took just pride, the Germany which had the good will, respect and admiration of the entire world. I measure my words. They are borne out all too emphatically by the hideous eloquence of deeds which have appalled the conscience of the civilized world. They are borne out by numberless expressions, written and spoken, of German professors employed by the state to teach its youth. The burden of that teaching is that might makes right, and that the German nation has been chosen to exercise morally, mentally and actually, the overlordship of the world and must and will accomplish that task and that destroy whatever the cost in bloodshed, misery and ruin. Would life be tolerable if the power of Prussianism, run mad and murderous, held the world by the throat, if the primacy of the earth belonged to a government steeped in the doctrines of a barbarous past and supported by a ruling caste which preaches the deification of sheer might, which despises liberty, hates democracy and would destroy both if it could? It is not for glory or for riches or for honor that we fight, but for liberty alone, which no good man loses but with his life. Railroads' Handling of War Work Shows What Can Be Done by "Team Work" Railroads' Handling of War Work Shows What Can Be Done by "Team Work" By R. H. Aishton, President of Chicago & North Western Railroad Every railroad man in the United States, from section man up to president, owes it to himself and his country to do everything in his power to help win the war. At a meeting in Washington immediately after the declaration of war with Germany, the heads of the railways agreed voluntarily and unanimously to subordinate every other interest to helping to win the war. The railroads made this pledge to the government and the public and they have kept it, regardless of the individual interest of any road. The English railroads are being operated on a similar plan, but under a guaranty by the government of the same net earnings that they made before the war. Our government was not asked for and has not given to the railways any guaranty of net earnings. The railroads did not get the advance in rates which they felt was absolutely necessary in order to render the service required by the government and the public. Did the railroads sulk and grumble as a consequence? On the contrary, they redoubled their efforts to discharge the enormous responsibilities forced upon them by war conditions. Sacrificing individual interests, I believe the railroads have given the greatest exhibition of "team work" the world ever saw. It is almost impossible to realize what an enormous task the railroads are wrestling with. The combined freight traffic of fourteen of the largest countries in the world in the year 1915 is just about equal to the increase alone in the freight traffic of our railroads in this calendar year—if the present rate is maintained—over that of the year 1915. Even more remarkable is the fact that this gigantic volume of traffic is being transported with practically no more equipment than our railroads had at the beginning of the war, because the builders cannot furnish the equipment which was ordered, owing to the demands of the government for the materials which would go into cars and locomotives. From the great majority of shippers and receivers of freight the railroads have received hearty co-operation, in the more prompt loading and unloading of cars, and more intensive loading, and I believe that when the war is won the railroads and their officers and employees will be given the credit they deserve by the nation.

EVERYBODY WISHES TO HELP Many Articles That Will Be of Use and Entertainment to Uncle Sam's Boys Under Arms Included in List. By Christmas Uncle Sam will have more than 1,000,000 men under arms, and everyone will be eager to help in giving them Christmas cheer. No matter how generous a supply of gifts some of the men may receive from families and friends, it is believed that all Red Cross members will want to unite in sending to each man a Christmas packet filled with good things and good will. In order that the men may be equally remembered and yet that there may be a pleasing variety in the contents, the following suggestions are made by the Red Cross for preparing and assembling the Christmas parcels: General Suggestions. 1. Nothing should go in them which will not keep fresh from the time of packing until Christmas. 2. Dried fruits and other food products should be packed in small tin or wooden boxes, one-quarter to one-half pound size. 3. Hard candy, including chocolate, would probably be safe in tin foil or heavy cardboard, but no soft chocolates nor anything that could possibly be crushed should be used, as the other contents of the package might be spoiled thereby. 4. Several dainty packs in oblong tin boxes, each holding a quarter of a pound, will provide a better variety for a packet than a larger quantity of a single confection. 5. No liquids nor articles packed in glass should be placed in the package. 6. For wrapping the gifts use a khaki-colored handkerchief, 27 inches square, and form the base of the packet by placing on the center of the handkerchief a pad of writing paper about 7 by 10 inches. 7. Select a variety of articles either from the suggested list (or according to individual wishes) to an amount not exceeding $1.50, and arrange them on the pad of paper so that the entire package shall be the width of the pad and approximately 5 or 6 inches high. 8. Wrap and tie with 1-inch red ribbon and place a Christmas card under the bow of ribbon. A card bearing the greetings of the chapter would be desirable. 9. Wrap the parcel again in heavy, light-brown manila paper and tie securely with red, green or gilt cord, and use Christmas labels or American flags, as desired. Articles Suggested for Packets. Writing-paper pad, about 7 by 10 inches. Envelopes. Pencil. Postals. Book (in paper covers). Scrapbook, homemade, containing a good short story, some jokes, etc. Electric torch. Compass. Playing cards. Other games. Tobacco. Pipe and pipe cleaners. Cigarette papers. Water-tight match box. Chewing gum. Sweet chocolate biscuits. Fruited crackers. Fruit cake. Knife, such as boy scouts use. Mirror, steel. Handkerchiefs, khaki-colored. Mouth organ. Red Cross checkerboard (this is a combination set of checkerboard, checkers, chessmen, and dominoes made of heavy cardboard especially for the Red Cross. Preserved ginger. Salted nuts. Prunes. Figs. Dates. Raisins. Hard candy. Chocolate in tin foll. Licorice. Katch the Kaiser (puzzle). Rachel lee. tansel (puzzle) Mechanical puzzles (an assorted lot of 12 small mechanical puzzles can be bought at the rate of 12 for 50 cents). Chapters will receive directions from division managers as to the dates when packets should be shipped to France and also as to the dates when those intended for the home cantonments should be ready for distribution. Money for these gifts is not to be taken from the Red Cross funds but should be contributed by individuals for this specific purpose. American motion-picture films continue to grow in popularity at Rosario, Uncle Sam's consul in that Argentine city reports that all the leading American film makers are represented, and that the new films are reviewed at length in the local newspapers. On occasions the five principal theaters have all presented American films on the same day. FORM LABOR RESERVE Uncle Sam Seeks to Mobilize Army of Volunteer Workers. Will Follow Example of Great Britain Which Has Organized Industrial Forces for War Service. England has offered to assist the United States in the organization of its volunteer industrial forces, recently undertaken by the United States public service reserve of the department of labor. Many of the methods which have resulted in the mobilization of an army of volunteer laborers in Great Britain may be used to advantage by the public service reserve in gathering men of all trades, occupations and positions whose service may be needed by the country during the war emergency period. A complete set all of the Literature used by the British national service in its campaign for volunteer workers in the various trades and occupations is now in the hands of the United States public service reserve. This includes a set of striking posters which were spread broadcast over the British isles, all the forms and blanks distributed to applicants, as well as a number of pamphlets which were widely circulated to arouse all workers to the fact that their country needed their services somewhere. In organizing its volunteer labor service the United States has the advantage of Great Britain in several respects, according to officials of the United States reserve. Most important is the fact that this country has started immediately after its entrance into the war, whereas England waited more than two years before organizing the national service. When the call went out to the workers in Great Britain men came forward by the thousands, in spite of the immense number who already had joined the colors or who were at the time engaged in essential industries. If Great Britain was able in three months to enroll 344,000 volunteers for work, the United States should be able to enroll a large number within the next few months, declare the officials. That such will prove to be the case would appear from the fact that in the short time the United States public service reserve has been in operation thousands of applications for membership have already been received from all parts of the country. Great Britain has been placing these workers at the rate of 4,000 a month, using them where needed in essential industries and to fill vacancies caused by men going to the front. The appeal to the volunteer worker called on him to join the national service, so that no occupation essential to the conduct of the war might want for labor which could be supplied by those who otherwise would be engaged in non-essential occupations or not working at all. It is believed that by beginning early to line up the industrial forces of the United States in a reserve, where their service may be made available whenever and wherever needed, a big step will be taken toward an efficient use of the country's man power in war service. No Shortage in Buckwheat Cakes, Reports Uncle Sam. Buckwheat cakes in plenty for the coming winter are promised in the assurance received from Canada by Uncle Sam's food administration that the buckwheat crop there is to be one of the best in recent years. Former reports received had indicated a Canadian buckwheat production shortage this year of about 30 per cent. Buckwheat has a considerable part to play in the conservation program as an acceptable substitute for wheat. BIG GAIN IN COKE OUTPUT Production in 1916 Showed Increase Over 1915 of 31 Per Cent in Quantity and 62 Per Cent in Value. The production of coke in 1916 was 54,533,585 net tons, valued at $170,841,197, an increase compared with 1915 of 12,952,435 tons, or 31 per cent, in quantity, and $65,337,329, or 62 per cent, in value. These figures, compiled by C. E. Lesher of Uncle Sam's geological survey, from reports furnished by the operators, differ from his estimate of the production of coke in 1916, made on January 1 of this year, by only 0.4 per cent. The output of beehive coke was 35,646,240 tons, having a reported value of $95,468,127, an increase of nearly 29 per cent in quantity and 67 per cent in value compared with 1915.

The number of active by-product ovens increased from 6,036 in 1915 to 6,607 in 1916 Six new by-product coke plants, with an aggregate of 603 ovens began operations in 1916 and had an aggregate output of 708,485 tons of coke. Every important producing state shared in the increase. Uncle Sam Plans to Build Large Number of "Reconstruction" Hospitals. EQUIP MEN FOR NEW WORK Surgical Experts Will Endeavor to Return Wounded Fighters to Civil Life as Self-Supporting Citizens. The whole conception of government and national responsibility for caring for the wounded has undergone radical change during the months of study given the subject by experts serving with the Medical Officers' Reserve corps and others consulting with them. Instead of the old idea that responsibility ended with the return of the soldier to private life with his wounds healed and such pension as he might be given, it is now considered that it is the duty of the government to equip and re-educate the wounded man, after healing his wounds, and to return him to civil life ready to be as useful to himself and his country as possible. To carry out this idea Uncle Sam's plans are well under way for building "reconstruction hospitals" in large centers of population. Sites have been chosen, in the following cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Paul, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Richmond, Atlanta, and New Orleans. Those in Boston, New York, Washington, and Chicago will probably be constructed first. Each will be built as a 500-bed hospital, but with provision for enlargement to 1,000 beds if needed. Training to Be Given. These hospitals will not be the last step in the return of the wounded soldiers to civil life. When the soldiers are able to take up industrial training, further provision will be ready. The injured man may be retrained to his previous occupation to conform with his handicapped condition or retrained for a new industry compatible with that condition. Additional education will be given to those fitted for it, and men may in some cases be returned to more valuable work than that from which they were called to war. Workshops will be provided at the hospitals, but arrangements will also be made with outside industries whereby more elaborate methods of training may be carried on. An employment bureau will be established to place men so trained in different parts of the United States. This whole matter comes under the department of military orthopedic surgery recently organized in the medical department of the army. Arrangements have been made by the department of military orthopedics to care for soldiers, so far as orthopedics (the prevention of deformity) is concerned, continuously until they are returned either to active service or civil life. Orthopedic surgeons will be attached to the medical force near the firing line and to the different hospitals back to the base orthopedic hospital, which will be established within 100 miles of the firing line. In this hospital, in addition to orthopedic surgical care, there will be equipment for surgical reconstruction work and "curative workshops" in which men will acquire ability to use injured members while doing work interesting and useful in itself. This method has supplanted the old and tiresome one of prescribing a set of motions for a man to go through with no purpose than to reacquire use of his injured part. It is not the intention that men able to go back to the firing line shall be returned to this country unless their convalescence will extend over a period of a considerable number of months. Soldiers unable to return to duty will be sent to the reconstruction hospitals in the United States. Instructors and Examiners. Instructors and examiners for all the camps are also being furnished by the department of military orthopedic surgery. A number of older and more experienced surgeons will act as instructors and supervisors for each of the groups into which the camps will be divided; a number of orthopedic surgeons will be detailed as attending surgeons at each camp to act as examiners and as consultants to the camp's other surgeons; directions are being provided for instruction of medical officers in military orthopedic surgery, emphasis being made on foot, back, and joint conditions as effecting the acceptance or rejection of recruits; and careful instruction is planned for line officers so that they will recognize the simpler orthopedic conditions and refer to the camp surgeon any men who develop them. Semimonthly inspection will be made of all soldiers' feet and camp surgeons and men detailed for the purpose will be given special instruction in care of the feet. Courses of intensive training in military orthopedic surgery are being arranged for different universities so that the younger surgeons taking up the work may enter upon their duties with some special preparation. The course will occupy six weeks. An Italian university professor says he has found radium in ordinary dew. EDUCATEFOREIGNBORN Uncle Sam's Bureau of Education Starts New Movement. War Americanization to Be Feature of "America First" Campaign—$78,000 is Appropriated. War Americanization is a significant feature of the third "America First" campaign announced by Uncle Sam's bureau of education. This unique plan is already being worked out in New York city by an official of the National Committee of One Hundred, which is associated with the bureau as advisory council on Americanization. In that city the appeal for war Americanization met with such an enthusiastic response that upon the suggestion of the mayor's defense committee, the board of education appropriated $78,000 to carry out the plan. The national scheme has been in process of formation for several months, and has been carefully worked out in consultation with federal officials, representatives of national organizations and school authorities. The aim of the third campaign will be directed toward stimulating the acquisition of the English language by all immigrants, and toward inspiring a genuine allegiance to the United States on the part of all citizens. The bureau will be assisted in the campaign by the National Committee of One Hundred, appointed last year by the commissioner of education to assist bureau officials in all matters pertaining to Americanization. To render effective aid, the committee has opened headquarters in Washington from which it is establishing contact with national organizations and officials. Already leading chambers of commerce, several large cities, and a number of patriotic and fraternal organization, representing several million members, are negotiating with the bureau for the purpose of entering into the campaign according to specifications outlined in official circulars. Official records show that approximately 3,000,000 foreign-born whites residing in the United States do not speak English. Only a small number of these have attended evening schools to learn the language indispensable to employment, business and social relations in this country. Concerted effort will be put forth to induce these immigrants to learn English and acquire a knowledge of the government, institutions and ideals of the United States. America's part in the war and the obligations of an immigrant to the country during the war, officials of the bureau believe, should be made clear to all those attending evening school. To give this information will be an important phase of the war Americanization plan. Military Salute Is Traced Back to Days of Chivalry. The military salute had a curious origin, if the tradition brought to light by officers of Uncle Sam's marine corps may be believed. The navy soldiers say that the salute originated in the days of the tournament, at which a queen of beauty was chosen to preside. The knights and their esquires and all who took part in the tourney, on presenting themselves before the queen, lifted each one a hand level with the brows as though dazzled by the light of her presence. Although its significance has been forgotten that same salute is now used by military men in recognition of a superior rank, the marine officers say. New Branch of Military Inspection Headed by Ten of Leading Psycho- Pathologists of Country. American soldiers who go to France must be not only physically fit, but also nervously and mentally fit. A new branch of military inspection, headed by ten of the leading psycho- pathologists of the country, has been established to safeguard the army against the weak-mind and the imbecile, to weed out the men whose nervous systems are broken down, to make sure that the fighting forces at the front are not handicapped by "the man with nerves." Examinations to be given by the neurologists will not only eliminate the unfit, but will prevent the would-be slackers from feigning nervousness or mental slackness. Five clinics have been established where doctors may prepare for this service, the clinics being located as follows: The Psychopathic hospital, Boston; the Phipps Psychiatric clinic, Baltimore; the Michigan Psychopathic hospital, Ann Arbor; the Neurological institute, New York, and the Psychiatric Institute, Ward's island, New York. Wireless Sets Are Light. One of the wireless sets, employed by the United State's Signal corps, succeeded in communicating over a distance of 119 miles, from an airplane, weighs only 60 pounds. Another set, developed at the North Island, San Diego, Cal., weighs about 45 pounds, and it has covered a distance of more than 150 miles, while flying at an elevation of 700 feet. Western Beef Co.

Modern Youth. © Dorothy (aged ten) to Bobble (aged eleven)—“We must be more careful what we say before mamma; she picks up our slang so readily.” Woman at Her Best. Nothing can be more touching than to behold a soft and tender female, who has been all weakness and de- pendence, and alive to every trivial roughness, while treading the prosper- ous paths of life, suddenly rising in mental force to be the comforter and supporter of her husband in misfor- tune.—Washington Irving. ‘Trees Only Need Proper Care. We hear much these days of tree surgery but 2 Inte bulletin of the Mis- sour! Rotunical Gardens calls attention to the fact that if trees are properly planted, and cared for, there would never be need of tree surgery for dis- ease, ete., but only for the necessary pruning to be done each year. ANATSUOTSHG Ee TSTaST ps “My dear,” said the host to his wife as he started to carve the leg of lamb, “can't you give Mrs. Brown anything better than that cold meat?” “Oh,” cried Mrs. Brown, “that's all right, so long as it is cold leg and not cold shoul- der."—Christian Herald. Glass Making an Old Art. Fragments of wine vases as old as the Exodus have been discovered in Egypt. ‘The art of glass making was probably known to the ancient Assy- rians. In the New Testament glass is ulluded to as an emblem of Brightness. How Big Ones Get Away. How fishes get off the hook ts al ways interesting, for the most-talked of fish Is the fish that got away. Chap man Grant, who gets fish for the Nev York aquarium, has witnessed the re markable manner in which morays wil disengage themselves from the hook If held dangling in the air, the mora; will double on himself, tie the knot anc pull his head out backward. “At thi juncture,” says Mr. Grant, “it has al ways been my experience that the hoo} or line broke, allowing the fish to es cape. Mr. Mobray, however, state! that he has seen morays strangle them selves when caught with strong tackle’ Hang Watch at Night. | The care of the watch at night or when it is not In use 1s an important item, concerning which the United States Bureau of Standards states: “At night or when the watch ts not in ‘use it is desirable to leave the watch in the same position as during the day, and preferably in some place where tt will not be subject to any great tem- perature change.” Difference in Bread Making. Little Oscar called on a neighbor's boy one morning and +s invited in to wait for his friend, who was not quite ready. The neighbor as kneading bread and asked: “Does you mother make bread?” “Yes'm,” replied Oscar, “only she don't play with it like you do.” hat Well Dressed » » \Yomeni Will Wear Ay?

The schoolgirl’s coat is an important consideration which cannot be deferred now, although the outfitting of the “flapper” 1s about the most difficult of 1 mother’s problems. This young per- son Is apt to have tdeas of her own coupled with more determination than her limited experience warrants. When she Is past sixteen the task of clothing rer becomingly grows easier every day. Before that time it Is best to select things designed for “the awk- ward age” by those who specialize in this line of work. They are artists that know how to make the most angular of younglings look attractive. The schoolgirl’s coat shown In the picture Is of heavy wool velour in brown, It ls a straight-line model with somewhat narrow shoulders, long waist line, narrow belt and ample, convert- ’ Se ee oA ~ es tm, SS, 4 PSs ee x oe co =) ) oie ~] N tise vad & us \ / eee a i Ml <8 GN i i Ee Be A ya \ b ogame OS LE IIL APS | Eger AN) ee \ Ba NG /s (FE! + Bl a Best — " ‘oe yA Ce : 7 ce 4 & ee Ff Bi ‘4 _———————— Breakfast Coats Made Their Debut. And now a new luster is to be added to the wardrobe of women, for the “breakfast coat” has made its debut. ‘The holidays are always preceded by pretty, gay concelts in breakfast jack- ets and this year the breakfast coat will present another allurement for the Christmas shopper. It Is an en- ticing garment made of light colored taffeta; a more or less straight coat, open down the front and reaching al- most to the bottom of the petticoat. ‘The breakfast coat 1s an unpreten- tious but very pretty affair, easy to make and simply trimmed. Ruffles and ruchings of silk, lke the coat, take the place of lace for finishing collar and sleeves. Narrow girdies are also made of the silk. By keeping to sim- plicity in trimming and tn design this new claimant for favor may be made un In gay colors and still deserve to be enlled a coat. ‘The breakfast coat appears in com- pany with fascinating new caps and | head-bands that take the place of caps. Yibbons and laces, little hand-made flowers of chiffon or satin and small, fancy braids are used for these bands, Sometimes a wide ribbon, with nar- row field of Ince on each edge, headed with bands of the tiniest flowers, is fastened at the ends with snap fasten- ers. Other bands are made of wider lace and narrower ribbon, like that one shown in the picture. The last word In headdresses for boudoir or break- fast wear ts a Chinese “coolie” hat nade of satin ribbon and lace. It Is rather difticult to make and according- ible collar. All of these good points vil commend It as up-to-date; a chic ‘example of the mode In coats. “Its col- lar and actual pockets reflect the styles for grown-ups and it ts of the same soft and comfortable material that ts used for the most mature wearers, This Is an Item that will please the “flap- per.” a Some models, in heavy wool velour’ and .other coatings, are banded with fur fabrics or the short-haired furs. For all-round wear the plain cloth model is most apt to please the dis- criminating mother and in the long run will force Its good points on Its youth- ful and impressionable wearer. She has to be educated in the selection of clothes as in everything else. It 1s Im- portant to dictate her choice in them sometimes as it Is to choose the right books and the right music for her. ly high In price, but the breakfast coat 1s very moderately priced and to see It is to love it, Charm of Crepes. There 1s a prediction that crepes of many sorts will be decidedly tashion- able next year, And for that we are thankful, says a fashion writer. We have all learned of the charm of crepes of various sorts in the last few sea- sons, when georgette and other crepe fabrics have been in such wide vogue. Perhaps one of the chief charms about crepe is that it clings and falls In such soft and attractive folds “and lines. Moreover, it 1s eminently practical, for it does not show wrinkles. Shirring by Machine. An easy and quick way to make shirring on a sewing machine Is to loosen the tension to make the thread draw easily, lengthen the stitch and sew across your material as many times as you desire rows of shirring. Then pull the under thread: tighter and you will have as even shirring as if done by hand. and {t will wear much better.
