LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY The Red Cross and What Our Women Have Been Doing Report Given Before the Literary Alliance at the Negro Women's Club Home by Mrs. Harry Barbee, Secretary of the Colored Women's Auxiliary to the National League for Women's Service. VOL. XXIV. The Red Cr What Ou Have Report Given Before the Negro Women's Clu Barbee, Secretary o Auxiliary to the Na men's Service. Henry Dunant, a native of Switzerland, having witnessed great and unnecessary suffering of the wounded after the battle of Solferino, in 1859, and being inspired by the work of that mistress of mercy, Florence Nightingale, during the Crimean war, set about to arouse the sovereigns of Europe. He worked untimingly and in 1864 by invitation of the Swiss government, representatives from several of the powers, held a convention in Geneva and signed what was afterwards known as the Red Cross treaty. This treaty provided that all officers, soldiers and other persons officially attached to armies, who are sick or wounded, shall be respected and cared for without distinction of nationality, by the belligerent in whose power they happen to fall. Hospitals, their supplies and personnel are neutralized and protected by this treaty. Out of compliment to Switzerland, the Swiss flag reversed in color (red cross on a white field), was selected as the universal emblem of mercy and distinctive protection. The treaty recognizes and includes under its provisions all volunteer aid societies under the Red Cross and the work of these societies has been broadened to include relief work after national or international disasters, to mitigate suffering caused by fires, floods, famine or any calamity. Societies receive the recognition of their respective countries, then the charters are passed upon by an international committee at Geneva. There were volunteer societies at work in (America) the United States during the last year of the Civil war, but the United States received its official charter in 1881. Clara Barton was made president and remained in office until she resigned in 1904. This organization standing for mercy and service would naturally appeal to the vast heart of Negro womanhood. I belong to a race of women whom suffering ennobles. When she looks about her and sees humanity seething, struggling, suffering, maddened; when she is mute, speechless from outrage and injustice, she thinks not of what the country thinks of her, but of what she can do to alleviate suffering; how she can render back the privileges she has had of education and Christian training. In the United States there has not been a disposition on the part of the Red Cross to take in colored members until the present crisis, so the work among our women is in embryo, but from the few reports I have received you will see the spirit with which our women are entering into the work and in most instances having little encouragement save the approbation of God. From New York Mrs. H. J. Foster writes: "Our women are doing stockwork, making bandages and knitting. The Red Cross has promised to put some of our trained nurses on the staff, but as yet none have been placed." Mrs. Herbert Ross (nee Carrie Barnes) of Denver sends splendid reports from Cambridge, Mass. "I belong to a group of one hundred and fifty women who knit. Since June we have knitted 100 sweaters, 75 trench caps, 3 dozen socks, 75 wristlets. We bought a motorcycle for a company in need of one. We plan to send to one camp in this country one knitted garment for every man and a package to every man of the 24th Infantry, which is really our 'hero' regiment. Lodges and churches have donated to a common fund for the purchase of yarn of which we have purchased $500 worth. Many liberal-minded white people have given us their services. Many balls and parties have been given for Red Cross funds. I hear of other units doing equally as well." Louisville, Ky., sends report through Mrs. H. C. Russell, wife of the president of the State Normal school: "The work is being done by Red Cross units which meet at regular meetings to sew and knit. The teachers are formed into units and a great many of the Normal girls work with them. The smaller children are all being taught to knit and sew for the Red Cross." Mrs. Mary B. Tarbet, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "Our colored women here work with the Central organization and receive their work from headquarters. We also have women sewing for the Red Cross in different circles. Just now I have been asked by the Women's War Committee to let them know what the Colored Women are doing along this line, also in food conservation, food production, etc. I am preparing a letter for the press which I hope will soon be prepared and distributed very freely among our people so that they can tell me by report just what is being done." Miss Nannie Burroughs reports that Red Cross units are just in formative stage in Washington. From Chicago, Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsey Davis sends a very excellent report of activities in Red Cross work: DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 29 1917 State Hist. & Nat Hist Hoc State House ble Negro Pa ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA "We have two members on the Women's Committee of Council of National Defense, City Committee, Mrs. Davis; State Council, Dr. Mary F. Waring. We have units in Springfield, Elgin, Waukegan, Evanston and Chicago. They make surgical dressings and garments, knit sweaters, wristlets, socks and helmets. The Waukegan group, Col. Young Chapter, Daughters of the American Flag, have raised funds to send blankets to France. The Phyllis Wheatley club and the Crispus Attucks Chapter, Daughters of the American Flag, have knitted garments for the soldiers in France and are now knitting for the 8th Regiment. We write letters, send books, etc., to those boys, every one of whom was adopted by some church or club before leaving. Substantial boxes of sweets, tobacco, etc., will be sent Xmas to the 1,000 drafted men at Camp Grant. Today I inspected some perfectly knit garments done by the eighth grade girls at Farrow school. We will not be satisfied until every woman in Chicago is enlisted in patriotic work." Mrs. Thomas Mahammit reports for Omaha: "We have a Crispus Attucks Auxiliary to the Red Cross. Mrs. I. Bailey (wife of a retired army sergeant) is president. It meets every Tuesday afternoon to sew for the soldiers and have turned in dozens of garments to Red Cross headquarters. There is a knitting club, which meets every Friday. Mrs. Ulia Britt is president. We raised $100 to send presents. We are making a drive for 1,000 colored members for the Red Cross by Xmas." Miss Naomi White reports that Kansas City Masons have donated a room and the women meet there to do sewing and knitting. Kansas City is interested in a Community House at Camp Funston and several affairs have been given. The Clippers, a society club among the teachers, gave a dancing party, the proceeds of which was one hundred dollars, to be turned over to that fund. In Denver, we have a Colored Women's Auxiliary to the National League for Woman's Service, organized last October, by Mrs. Isabel Stewart, who is the state chairman. The organization meets regularly at the Thrift House to knit, on Thursdays, and at State Museum to do surgical dressing work on Fridays. The National League for Woman's Service has united with the Red Cross and now all work passes directly through Red Cross headquarters. The colored women lent splendid aid to the Triangle drive for the Y. M. C. A. Recreation camps. We have received the support and encouragement of many broad-minded, big-hearted white women. The Missionary Society at Zion Baptist church has a knitting unit. The Y. W. C. A. has a unit among the high school girls; all are knitting. Miss Robertann Barbee reports that St. Louis women are very enthusiastic. They work with the Central organization. Miss Belcher, formerly secretary of Y. W., is traveling secretary for the Red Cross, looking after the morale of the training camps. Splendid reports come from the South, but too late for this report. Protein in White of Eggs The purest example of protein is the albumen in the white of egg. Protein is found not only in eggs, but all lean meats. Also in vegetables and cereals in much smaller proportions, some vegetables having only a trace, while others, such as peanuts, having more than the best beefsteak. THE SHADOW FROM THE GALLOWS WHEN the news reached the twelve million Americans of sable hue, that thirteen of the black soldiers that a few days before had been part of the noble band that had brought honor and fame to this our beloved land, had died upon the gallows, a shadow dimmed our joy and the music of victory became the wall of woe. We raise no question of the justice of the sentence, we pass no judgment on the court that sternly upheld the law. We are loyal still, for we have no other land, we have no other flag for which our life blood has been shed. We are Americans, true and tried, and no man can deny that our hearts still beat true. The gloom that the shadow from the gallows casts is one deep and wide that only calm patience, forbearance of the highest type can overcome. The government has a harder problem to solve, the race has a narrow road to tread, the colored soldier must be a soldier true to endure the future outlook. The danger which the shadow from the gallows portends is the interpretation of the finding of the military court by the prejudiced whites of this, our land. If the South emboldened by the belief that these thirteen men died because they were colored soldiers and their victims were white proceeds to pour out the vials of their wrath upon the black soldiers in their midst, outlook is perilous and the hope for brighter days is but a myth. This damnable color prejudice while deeper seated and more open in the South, is unfortunately, not confined to the South. Ever and anon the smouldering fire of hate bursts into flame in our own Northland and we feel that while tolerated we are not loved. What will the harvest be? If men garbed in the uniform of America, fighting for freedom and democracy, fired with patriotism and love, are to be insulted, kicked and cuffed, cursed and clubbed and that for no other reason, save that, the skin is black and the hair kinky, the cause of democracy is lost, the fight is vain. The white men of America seem incapable of judging the American of sable hue by his character and his worth, but few indeed seem to judge him by human standards. They seemingly look upon him as something different from all other men, in fact, scarcely a man. They are sane upon all other subjects, they throw the mantle of Christian charity over every other race variety, but Christianity ceases when the colored man is considered. This strange paradox in a boasted land of freedom cannot exist without sapping the vital strength of the nation. Even our secretary of war in his frank expressions of friendship and sympathy is beclouded when he states that he feels that many of the stories of mistreatment of colored soldiers is due to German propaganda. The most exaggerated tale of German propagandist pales into insignificance beside the real facts. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources We acknowledge with thanks receipt of Christmas editions of the various papers that we exchange with. Beautifully gotten up, with Christmas stories and editorials lending great inspiration to their readers, the publications were evidences of the progress made by the newspapermen of our race, and we wish them superabundant success coupled with renewed energy and vigor for the righteous prosecution of the causes they advocate, as well as increase of patronage for the year 1918. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 12. - Last Saturday morning, two police officers went to the home of C. T. Thomas, a well known colored druggist of this city, and demanded that he come with them, charging disorderly conduct. He ordered them from his door. Officer H. T. Adams forced the door and Thomas fired a bullet through his head, killing him instantly. He then turned the revolver on the other officer, F. T. Roberts, and wounded him severely. An emergency squad with riot guns was sent and succeeded in arresting Dr. Thomas, who was also shot in the arm. Officer Roberts will recover. Springfield, Ill., Dec. 25. After the war the Rev. Dr. C. F. Cheehzzle, Abyssinian priest, lecturer and preacher for the Negroes of America and the world, would form a nation for Negroes in Africa. In a sermon at the St. John's African Methodist church here, he told the congregation, "The doctrine after the war will be that men of color shall be drawn out of every nation and found an empire of their own in Africa. "A million men," he said. "from Africa and other countries belonging to the black race have volunteered their services already in this world war against autocracy and greed." Washington. -A presistent ru The white man can never feel the iron heel of prejudice until his skin changes its hue and then God help him to endure. We charge our soldiers to be true, we charge them to be loyal to the land that gave them birth, we charge them to conduct themselves as men under every condition, we charge them to avoid any difficulty, but we would be traitors to the race, traitors to our fathers and our mothers whose blood helped enrich the soil of this great land, traitors to the land itself and to our God if we charged them to flee like cravens when attacked or to do less than die like soldiers and like men. We must drain the dregs of the bitter cup, but God did not constitute us to swallow the cup.—Philadelphia Tribune, Saturday, December 22. NO 19 mor is in circulation here, though without confirmation, that the war department is to establish a base hospital in France for colored soldiers with a colored surgeon and superintendent of nurses in charge. The names canvassed here for the position of surgeon-in-chief of such a base hospital are Doctors Williams and Geo. Hall of Chicago and Doctors Wm. A M. Curtis and Wm. Warfield of this city. Some here are under the impression that because of Dr. Warfield being surgeon-in-chief of Freedman's hospital here which is a government institution the government may simply transfer him temporariy, to France, in case a base hospital is established for colored troops over there. Washington, Dec. 25. — Private Jerry Ward, attached to Company A. first separate battalion of Negro troops of the District National guard, has been sentenced to dismissal from the service and three years at hard labor for killing Andrew J. Cooper, an aged carpenter at the quartermaster training camp here last Oct. 12. The verdict of the court-martial was disapproved as inadequate by Brig. Gen. Eli D. Hoyle, commanding the Eastern department, but the court refused to amend it and General Hoyle finally approved it, he said, only in order that the soldier should not "escape deserved punishment." Cooper, in going to work at the camp, tried to enter by a short cut instead of thru the main gate, and it was in evidence at the trial that Ward, who was on guard duty, knocked him down an embankment and, when he started up again, shot and killed him. The court held the act was involuntary man slaughter under the articles of war. GREEN RIVER, WYOMING. The marriage of Mr. I. Willis and Miss Narvella Williams at the Oxford club and hotel, Christmas day, was quite a surprise to their many friends. The couple were happily married at high noon. Mr. Albert Williams, brother of the bride, gave her away. Mr. Ralph Wilson and wife, Mattie Wilson of Pocatello, Idaho, were the bridesmaid and groomsman. Other guests of honor were Miss Dot West of Casper, Miss Emma Howard of Denver and others. After the ceremony the Christmas and wedding dinner was enjoyed by their many friends. Dancing, together with the receiving of many beautiful presents, helped pass the day. We wish the couple many years of happiness and prosperity together with a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Though it was not a white Christmas, the yuletide spirit of old permeated Denver when the 2,700 soldiers who are quartered in the city prior to being transferred to cantonments, were banqueted in private homes, at Motels, by clubs and by societies. TWODOLLARSAYEAR John Stankovich was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment by a jury in Judge Essex's division of the district court at Pueblo.

PRODUCTS FOR YEAR 1917 WORTH $145,560,000. Based on Dec. 1 Prices, Year's Crops Worth 60 Per Cent More Than Bumper Crop of 1916. Denver.—In response to the appeal of the government for greater food production as an aid toward winning the war, the State Bureau of Immig- ration says the state of Colorado is now marketing the largest crop it has ever produced. Based on prices pre- vailing Dec. 1, this crop is worth about 60 per cent more than that of 1916, which was the largest produced up to that time. Estimates compiled by the Colorado Council of Defense and the State Board of Immigration place the value of all farm products, exclusive of livestock and livestock products, at approximately $145,560,000, as compared with $91,152,770 for 1916. The largest increase, both in acreage and value, was shown in the field bean crop. The area harvested was about 210,000 acres, against 38,000 acres for 1916, and the value of the crop was $6,546,200, compared with $1,781,000 for the preceding year. Hay is the state's biggest crop. Its value for 1917 was $42,517,800, as against $24,592,800 for 1916. The Federal Census Bureau found the value of all crops grown in the state in 1899 to be $16,970,588 and for 1909 the total was $50,974,958. The current report shows an increase of 785 per cent in the annual value of farm output in the last eighteen years. J. C. Iverson Killed by Mine Gas. Georgetown—One man is dead, another unconscious and a third suffering severely as a result of encountering a current of gas in the Capitol mine near here. J. C. Iverson was overcome and lost his hold on the ladder and fell a distance of 165 feet. His body was recovered by a rescuing party. The three while going on day shift were at a point about one and a half miles inside the mine when the air struck them. Richard Allender managed to escape to the mouth of the shaft and gave the alarm. Other miners found Richard Gants unconscious. Iverson evidently had been making an effort to climb to safety when he fell. He was about forty-eight years of age and married. Timberlake Says Germany Must Lose. Sterling.—Charles B. Timberlake, member of Congress from this district, arrived home for the holidays. He addressed citizens at a meeting in the Presbyterian church, taking as his subject the conditions at the war front in France. Mr. Timberlake was one of the committee that went to France during the Congressional recess. He was close to the line of fire and says no one who has not been there can form an idea of conditions. He says that the knowledge he gained convinced him that world peace will not be possible until the Germans are defeated. Sterling—Approximately ten tons of jack rabbits were shipped to Denver to be distributed among the poor of that city for their Christmas dinner. The rabbits were killed in a county wide hunt. It is estimated that at least 500 men took part in the drive. The Crook team captured the honor for killing the largest number of animals, 800 carcasses being turned in by that division. Frederick—Two men were taken to the Longmont hospital, both wounded by shotguns, during a row at the Grant mine, between this city and Erie.

A nervous breakdown, said to have been caused by private and domestic troubles, is believed to have been the cause. Oliver H.

She died in Pasadena, Cal. in pleasing spectators and dance while the orchestra, filled with Christmas enthusiasm, delighted the makers with the latest popular art which brought out in full every artistic feature of terpsichore.

Sergeant Ray Crummer, one of Denver's product, arrived from Camp Funston to spend Christmas with his mother, Mrs. Ada Crummer, the popular scalp specialist. "Ray," as he is known by his chums, looks every inch a soldier, and reports favorably on conditions attending camp life. Mr. and Mrs. Oglesvie Lawson are here to spend the Christmas holidays with Mr. Lawson's parents, having arrived from Camp Funston, where the husband is engaged in Y. M. C. A. work among the soldiers. Congratulations to Mr. Lawson over his initiation in the Grand Lodge of Benedicts, wishing every happiness for him and his better half. Mrs. Mattie B. Brown of 2801 Curtis street had a few friends to share Christmas festivities with her on Christmas day when she prepared a choice and sumptuous meal for her guests. China of the rarest and most fashionable designs were used, and each guest declared that the hostess was not only a specialist in the culinary art, but a delightful matron. Jonathan Cover, popular in the Eastern and Western states as a writer of much worth and impressiveness, has issued a 1918 Calendar with six verses on the topic, "The Black Hundred." Mr. Cover, whose heart burns with patriotism for his country and zeal for fair treatment of his people, terms this poetic effusion "An indictment and protest against the measure of 'Freedom' the American Negro has been permitted to achieve during fifty years of toil for material and cultural progress, devotion to the real spirit and ideals of American life and loyalty through suffering and unto death to Flag and Country. The calendar is neatly gotten up and the work reflects the highest credit on the composer, whom we have known for many years as a race lover, a patriot and a friend. The Smart Set club entertained the public on Christmas night at Fern hall with a dance extraordinary, as the management did everything in their power to further impress their guests that the entertainments of this association are in a class of specialties engaged in for the festive seasons. A beautifully decorated Christmas tree with presents for children and adults presented an imposing spectacle, while an abundant supply of candy and turkey, etc., provided a dinner for each guest, who did ample justice to the spread. Billy Knight was floor manager, and his usual keen observation of those who attend these events made him specially interested in pleasing spectators and dancers while the orchestra, filled with Christ mas enthusiasm, delighted the merry-makers with the latest popular airs, which brought out in full every artistic feature of terpsichore. As usual the expression of opinion offered another boost for the Smart Set Club, who must be further congratulated for their ability to please the public.

The treasury stock of this company is going at 5 cents and within a very short time will have increased. It is wisdom, therefore, to call at the oil company's office, 215-216 Ideal building, meet the president and business manager and get definite information on the investment, which is on a sound basis. The development is exceeding expectations and the purchase of stock now will be greatly advantageous to investors. CAMPBELL CHAPEL, AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH Twenty-third and Lawrence Streets. A. M.

Prayer and Class meeting, Wednesday, 8 p. m. Interesting services were held at Campbell chapel on Sunday, and our early Christmas morning service eclipsed all occasions of its kind. The full-robed choir, under direction of Mrs. Clark Craig, did credit to themselves and the church in the rendition of excellent Christmas music. Pastor Ward followed the choir in its anthem, "Glory to God in the Highest," with an able sermon upon that theme. The decoration was furnished by our artist, Mr. R. Brown, his own handiwork. The Sunday school Christmas exercises, held under direction of Mrs. Eugene Moore, on Monday evening, were enjoyed by a large audience. The pastor will occupy his pulpit on Sunday when the choir is again to render its Christmas music.

The most of the workers have dropped out, but the more faithful are keeping it up, in accordance with the slogan adopted at the beginning—to "stay in the field until the war is ended." One hundred pledges are being sought for January. At this writing less than twenty remain to be secured. Beginning with New Year's day a drive will begin for a similar number for February. All boys attending the high schools of the city are called together on Friday evening to organize a High School Club. This is something which has been needed for a long while. It is hoped that all the boys will be present. In keeping with its custom the Y. M. C. A. will hold an "open house" reception on New Year's day, beginning in the afternoon at 2:30 and closing at 6:30. The reception will be open to all friends and it is hoped that everybody will attend. A club of ladies will be on hand to serve refreshments to the guests. Next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell will deliver his third address on "Great Facts Which Dark Races Should Know." Great interest has been aroused by the two former addresses, and it is quite certain that a large number will be present. The meeting will be open to ladies. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN Presbyter, J. A.

Growth of Trees The rate of growth of trees in wood lots and in plantations in central New York is being studied at the New York State College of Forestry. Soil and climatic conditions in central New York are unexcelled for maintenance and rapid forest growth. The so-called virgin forests of the Adirondacks are growing at the rate of about 200 board feet an acre a year. Properly managed forests of southwestern Germany are growing at the rate of from 1,000 to 1,200 board feet an acre a year. Reasonable use of farm wood lots and the planting of the right kinds of forest trees on forest coils means the production of excellent crops of timber, and that within a comparatively short period of time.

Because the Company's holdings in Rogers County, Oklahoma, are increasing in value every day from development being made on every side. One company has drilled into 46 feet of rich oil sand in Section 11, less than half a mile from our Hester lease. A 75-barrel well came in a quarter of a mile north of our Hester lease. An Oklahoma City company is drilling on 40 acres adjoining our Graham lease on the south and our McSpadden lease on the east, and is expecting to reach the Bird sand or second sand at 550 feet. This company considers this 40 acres worth $12,000. We have 340 acres with the same prospects for oil. The Owl has the best of chances for a number of big wells.

Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR A compromise has been effected between the Bolshevik and the Social Revolutionists and a coalition government is being formed, the telegraph agency announced at Petrograd. Col. del Rosso and Monte Val Bella on the Astage plateau were recaptured by Italian forces in a counterattack Dec. 26, but it was found impossible to hold them, the Rome war office announced. The British armed steamer Stephen Furness has been torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine in the Irish channel, it was officially announced at London. Six officers and ninety-five men were lost. A British air squadron dropped a ton of bombs on the great commercial city of Mannheim, on the Rhine, in Germany. Numbers of fires were started. One British plane was forced to descend. The War Department at Washington has made public fifteen more deaths in the expeditionary forces abroad. Of these two were killed in action, one the result of wounds received in action and another in an airplane accident. The losses to British shipping show a material decrease for the past week. According to the admiralty report eleven British merchantmen of 1,600 tons' or over were sunk by mine or submarine, as well as one merchantman under that tonnage and one fishing vessel. Increased cannonading near Verdun, especially around Douamont, the Chaume wood and the Caurieres wood which a year ago were the scenes of some of the fiercest fighting of the war, indicates apparently the intention of the Germans to attempt to break the line there. The allies are making every preparation to meet the attack. While their guns bombard the western front, the Germans are taking troops from the eastern front for use elsewhere, despite the provision of the Russo-German armistice prohibiting such action. The artillery activity in France has been moderate over most of the front and more violent on the right bank of the Meuse, north east of Verdun, the scene of the German attack nearly two years ago. WESTERN The Government, through a mediator, now controls all labor conditions in every packing plant in America. Fred Green and Miss Jessie Wharton were killed almost instantly near Butte, Mont., when a train struck their automobile. The Great Western Sugar Company paid out $50,000 to a hundred farmers in Bitter Root valley. At Billings the company distributed $560,000. The Mountain States division of the Red Cross has enrolled 240,000 new members in the week's campaign according to estimates at headquarters in Denver. Six thousand acres of beets have been signed up to insure erection of a sugar refinery at Blaine, Idaho. New refinery of Utah-Idaho company at Boise completed. The annual fees for grazing permits in the national forest will not be raised for the coming season, according to information received from headquarters by the Denver forestry office. Arrival of Vilhjalmur Stefansson at Fort Yukon apparently ends a voyage of Arctic exploration that began when he left Victoria, B. C., June 17, 1913, at the head of a Canadian government expedition aboard the steamer Karluk SHINGTON Secretaries Baker and Daniels sent Christmas greetings to American fighting forces. President Wilson joined with his grandchildren in celebrating Christmas at the White House. The new draft machinery was invoked for the first time when Provost Marshal General Crowder made public instructions to all governors calling for the mobilization of 1,000 bricklayers, urgently needed by Gen. Pershing at once. Federal officials found packages of ammunition, several hundred rifles and a number of bags filled with revolvers buried under th cargo of hides in the Shilka, a Russian freighter, which arrived at a Pacific port under control of its Bolsheviki crew. Expenditure of more than $58,000,000 for land and buildings for housing all the government's activities in Washington with an outline of a general building plan has been recommended to Congress by the public buildings commission in its first report FOREIGN Final figures for the seventh German war loan were 12,625,600,200 marks according to a message from Berlin.

Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic explorer, last heard from in a letter received in March, 1916, has arrived with his party at Fort Yukon, according to word received by the naval department at Ottawa. Pope Benedict on Christmas received the members of the sacred college for an exchange of Christmas greetings. In answer to an address delivered by Cardinal Vannutell, dean of the college, the pope renewed his recommendations for incessant prayers for peace. Ten sons from the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Ball of Vancouver have been killed in action during the war, it became known at Vancouver, B. C. Mrs. Ball, a widow with five sons, was married six years ago to Mr. Ball, who had eleven sons. Mrs. Ball served as a nurse during the Boer war and was wounded. Leon Trotzky, the Bolsheviki for eign minister, protested to the Germans against the transference of troops from the eastern front, but also has ordered Russian factories to stop the manufacture of munitions. He did not indicate whether his government would take any other step against German violation of the armistice. SPORTING NEWS The Packey McFarland-Mike Gibbs bout will be held in Chicago. The Naval Reserves soccer team of St. Louis defeated the Camp Funston team at St. Louis, 3 to 0. Denver golf clubs remembered the soldiers at home Christmas, the generosity of the golfers being limited only by the proportions of the clubhouses. Fred Fulton, claimant of the world heavyweight championship since Dec. 20, apparently is farther than ever from a bout with Jess Willard. Fulton at Little Rock, Ark., lost to Harry (Texas) Tate of Nowatta, Okla., in the first round of a scheduled ten-round bout by a decision of Referee Billy Haack, who ruled that Fulton was using foul tactics.

A total of 277 licenses were issued Monday as compared with 167 on Christmas eve last year. New regulations issued by the Federal Food Administration automatically reduced the price of flour in carload lots at the mills by establishing a lower amount of wheat to be used in the manufacture of a barrel of flour. Secretary of War Baker is right in stating that the German peace maneuvers should not for a moment induce the United States to slacken preparations for war, in the opinion of H. Charles Woods, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and a recognized authority on military matters in England. A woman, designated only at "H" and said to be prominent in the German secret service, directed the activities of Franz Schulenberg, alleged master spy held at San Francisco on a presidential warrant, according to information divulged by federal officials. Schulenberg is said to have been active in plans to destroy bridges and public buildings in Canada and shipping and warehouses in Pacific ports. W. W. Blackwell, a decade ago supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and since recognized as an authority on affairs of the order, died at his home at Henderson, Ky., after suffering a stroke of paralysis. He was sixty-five years old. The Minnesota minimum wage law fixing a "iliving wage" of $8.50 and $8.25 for women in industrial occupations in the second, third and fourth-class cities, according to the occupation, was held constitutional in a decision handed down by the Supreme Court at St. Paul. GERMANS OFFER UNSATISFACTORY ALLIES WILL REJECT TERMS OF FERED BY COUNT CZERNIN, AUSTRIA-HUNGARY MINISTER. TREACHERY SUSPECTED ASK GERMANY TO MAKE REPARATION FOR ALL WRONGS AND EVACUATE TERRITORY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Dec. 28.—Germany's latest peace offer made through Count Czernin, foreign minister of Austria-Hungary, will be rejected by the allies, just like other peace offers that have emanated from Berlin during the past year. The Czernin offer is considered absolutely unsatisfactory to Great Britain and it is presumed London is speaking for all of the allies. Of course, the Czernin offer has not been communicated to the allies officially, but its text has been read by those who are in charge of the government and by them openly and unofficially rejected. So suspicious of treachery is London of any peace offer from Germany that something more substantial than a communication from the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister to the Russian Bolsheviki will have to be made before any attention is paid. Germany can have peace if she makes the proper kind of an offer and not until. The Czernin offer is a clever proposition which could be construed in a dozen different ways at a conference table. This is one of the reasons why the allies suspect more German treachery. It is doubtful if any answer is made to the peace offer, even if it is presented to the allies in some formal manner. Germany must make full reparation for all the wrongs and barbarities she has inflicted upon the allies and must evacuate all territory she has seized and is now occupying. She must also give up Alsace-Lorraine, surrender any claim to her lost colonies, and restore Poland. In addition, it must be understood that the Holy Land will never be returned to the Turks nor will Turkish territory captured by the British at an enormous cost of blood and treasure be returned to Sultan. And when the Kaiser is ready to accede to these demands, he will be asked by the United States to pay for all the American ships his U-boats have sent to the bottom of the ocean in violation of international law. Furthermore, he will be expected to pay a heavy indemnity for all American lives lost as the result of the operations of his U-boats and sea raiders. Washington, Dec. 28.—Germany's proposals to the Russian Bolshevik envoy through the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister for a basis of peace, have attracted little more than passing interest here, chiefly because the attitude of the United States government has not changed in any degree since President Wilson solemnly told Congress that the word of the present rulers of Germany could not be accepted for anything worth while. Moreover, officials here think the very conditions imposed by the Teutonic plenipotentiaries stamp their promises of "no annexation and no indemnities" as insincere. It has been assumed from the first that the object of the Germans would be to keep the Russians talking as long as possible, confuse the situation in every conceivable way and thereby gain time for further troop movements TEUTON PLANES FALL IN BATTLE Shock Troops Beaten Off in Two Blows at Verdun. Italian Army Headquarters in Northern Italy, Dec. 28.—One of the greatest air raids the enemy has attempted on this front came to grief when nearly half a fleet of twenty-five airplanes were destroyed, with an extensive list of killed or wounded. Paris.—The Germans made two attacks on the Verdun front Thursday, but were not able to break through the French lines, the war office reports. Artillery fighting continues on the Verdun front, where the French broke up two German attacks. "The enemy dead remaining on the ground between the lines and in the wire entanglements demonstrated the importance of the losses suffered by the Germans, who left prisoners in our hands." Ground Glass Found in Food. Camp Dodge, Iowa.—Ground glass was discovered in canned tomatoes issued here for use of soldiers. Michigan Has $200,000 Fire. Saginaw, Mich.—Fire of unknown origin destroyed the Saginaw-Bay City Traction Company's car barns here. Thirty-six city street cars were consumed. Only four cars were saved.

President Wilson headed a distinguished gathering which attended. SHOW SMELTER PROFIT SHOW SMELTER PROFIT REPORT OF INVESTIGATING BODY NAMED BY LEGISLATURE. Committee Places Earnings of Colorado Furnaces at Less Than Four Per Cent. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—An average net profit of 95 cents a ton on ores smelted in Colorado is obtained by the smelter operator, according to the report of the mine and smelter investigating committee named by the Twenty-first Legislature. The figure is obtained by subtracting an allowance of 61 cents a ton for "depreciation, interest, taxes, etc." from the average gross profit for the past five years, according to the report. Smelting cost, the report finds, averages 3.5 per cent of the value of the ore. Capitalization of Colorado smelters is $2,700,000, and their earnings for five years have averaged 3.97 per cent on a turnover of approximately $17,000,000 worth of ore a year. The report recommends introduction of a system of licensing samplers, inspection of samplers' equipment, reduction of the "minimum" in lead ores from five to three per cent and introduction of a simplified schedule of treatment charges at the smelter. The greater portion of the document is devoted to a report made to the committee by Prof. O. R. Whitaker, a mining engineer, employed by the committee as an expert. It is devoted generally to the so-called "lead" smelters, there being only two of other classes in the state. Can Permit Draft Men to Enlist. No member of a fire or police department in active service in any city will be accepted for the United States guards unless he presents a written authority from his chief, according to a telegraphic order received from Adjutant General McCain of Washington by Maj. C. N. Barney, in charge of army recruiting for Colorado and Wyoming. Officers of the navy and the marine corps emphasize that men of draft age still voluntarily enlist in those services by presenting a certificate from their local boards stating that their numbers come so low on the lists that they will not be needed to fill the next draft quota. The army, too, is still enlisting men below or above the draft age, within certain limits; that is, between 18 and 21 and between 31 and 40 years. Girl Named Deputy U. S. Marshal. Miss Lola Anderson of Pueblo enjoys the unique distinction of being the first woman in the history of the United States to be appointed a deputy United States marshal. Miss Anderson succeeds Samuel Rosuck, who resigned to join the flying corps of the American expeditionary forces in France. Jack Scott has resigned as deputy marshal to become a radio operator on a submarine chaser. Board Paroles Slayer of Brother. A parole was issued by the Board of Pardons to William Claire, sentenced Jan. 6, 1911, from Clear Creek county, to a term of from twenty to twenty-five years on a charge of murder. It was alleged that Claire killed his brother, Charles, in a drunken row at their home in Silver Plume by throwing an open knife at him, which pierced his heart. Protest Cotton Seed Embargo. Protest to the national food administration against the embargo placed by Texas upon exportation of cotton seed cake from that state was made by the live stock survey board of the Colorado Council of Defense on the ground that it is unfair to Colorado cattle growers. Special Week for Cattle Shipments. Special Week for Cattle Simplifications The Denver & Rio Grande railroad has been asked by the live stock survey board of the Colorado Council of Defense to set aside a week or ten days in which no "dead" freight will be moved and all motive power used to ship out cattle before winter weather begins. Coal Price Protest Filed. A lengthy protest has been fled with W. J. Galligan, federal fuel administrator for Colorado, by the citizens of Cañon City and Florence against the exorbitant price of coal in those two cities and other small towns. Forest Reserve Receipts $300,000. Approximately 2,000,000 horses, cattle and sheep were grazed on the national forest reserves in the Colorado district during 1917, and the receipts were $300,573.43, of which $105,200.70 was returned to the several states in which the reserves are situated. Noland Expense Items Opposed. Objection to the amount of expense money sought for 1918 by James R. Noland, secretary of state, for the collection of auto license fees, was made at a meeting of the Colorado Highway Commission in the form of a resolution addressed to Leslie E. Hubbard, attorne general; and the State Auditing Board. Secretary Noland, according to the commission, has asked for ten per cent of the 1918 collection which will entail an expense of about $30,000.

The Fairies' Messages By Mary Graham Bonner (Copyright.) HE Fairies," said Daddy, "all thought they were going to have a wonderful party until the Fairy Queen said, "There is work for us to do." T "Of course the Fairies love their work as they do their play so they smiled when the Fairy Queen told them there was work for them to do. work for them to do. "And what is it?" asked Princess Twilight-Bell. "Yes, tell us what the work is to be," said the Fairy Princess Joy. "Shall we play and make music? asked Fairy Ybab. "Dear me,' said the Fairy Queen. 'How can I ever answer so many questions at once?' "The Fairies laughed and then waited for the Fairy Queen to tell them what she wanted them to do. 'When the New Year comes,' said the Fairy Queen, 'We must plan new work.' "Oh yes,' agreed all the Fairies. "It needn't exactly be new,' said the Fairy Queen, 'but we must start off afresh in our work and get others to start off afresh too.' "We shall do that,' said the Fairies. "And,' continued the Fairy Queen, 'we shall all go forth today and whisper secrets to the Children.' "What sorts of secrets?' asked the Fairies. "We shall tell them,' said the Fairy Queen, 'that to be happy they must be cheerful and pleasant. We will tell them to see how wonderfully it works—just to give it a fair trial. Tell them to get up every morning with a bright smile for everyone they meet. And then they will see how much happier it makes everyone." "That's a splendid idea,' said the Fairies. "And Ybab with her Fairy orchestra will sing little songs while they sleep—and somehow or other when they wake up the next day they will be so happy. They will not quite know why—but we will know that it is Ybab's wondrous fairy music." “‘Ah,’ smiled Ybab, ‘how happy that makes me! I always love to sing and play. I think I shall sing them a song like this, and Fairy Ybab waved her wand and sang: “‘Music, music makes us glad. “‘Crossness only makes us sad. “‘So let's be happy, bright and gay, “‘And then we'll love both work and play.’ “‘That will be a fine song,’ said the Fairy Queen. ‘I am sure the Children will love it. Of course they will hear it while they sleep and when they awake they will have forgotten the words—but they will remember the meaning of the song.’ "And when shall we start?' asked the Princess Twilight-Bell. "Let's get started very soon,' said the Fairy Princess Joy. "Oh yes,' said Ybab in her slvery voice. 'I want to be singing all the time.' "That is the way you must make the children feel, Ybab,' said the Fairy Queen. 'They must feel so happy every minute. They must be joyous and have such good times and make everyone around them happy. Don't forget, little Fairies,' she added, 'to tell the Children to wake up every morning with a smile. That will be such a good start for the day.' "We won't forget,' said the Fairies. "And off they went. All over the Earth they flew and they wore their invisible robes that no one can see but a Fairy. To homes and homes they went and over every child sleeping that night they whispered the Fairy Queen's messages. "Ybab sang her song, and before she had finished, a smile came on the face of each child who heard her. "When the Fairies returned to Fairy-land where the Fairy Queen was wait- "Whisper Secrets to the Children." ling for them, though she had been off on a trip too, they told her of their work. "‘Ah,’ she said, 'they will be happy now I feel quite sure, and though they may not know that the Fairies have been to see them, they will somehow feel better—and we know that it will be because of the Fairies!’" It's Worth While. A new year is surely worth a new effort. Another Year Another year is now starting, At midnight I heard the bells ring Their final farewell to the old year; Oh, what will the new year bring? Shadow and then some sunshine— Neither can always last; Sorrow and pain and pleasure— Just as the year that's past. None can foretell the future, It's hidden beyond our gaze; But most of the year that's coming Will be made of commonplace days. Morning and noon and evening Filled up with little things, Days of rest and of labor— These are what each year brings. Go on then into the future. Go on then into the future, With never a thought of fear; Trusting the hand that leads us To guide for another year. —Grace Butkley. IDEALS FOR THE NEW YEAR IDEALS FOR THE NEW YEAR By Dr. William DeWitt Hyde. To weigh the material in the scenes of the personal, and measure life by the standard of love. To prize health as contagious happiness, wealth as potential service, reputation as latent influence, warning, warning for the light cured, care for the help it can give, station for the good it can do; To choose in each case what is good on the whole, and accept carefully incidental evil involved; To put my whole self into all that I do and indulge no single desire, at the expense of myself and everyone; To crowd out fear by devotion to duty, and see present and future as one; to trent others as I would be treated, and myself as I would my best friend; To lend no oil to the foolish, but to let my light shine freely for all; To make no gain by another's loss, and buy no pleasure with another's pain; To harbor no thought of an- noying, unwilling that other should know; To say nothing unkind to amuse myself, and nothing false to please others; to slide in to weaker men's failings, and bear no malice toward those who do wrong; to pity the selfish no less than the poor, and promote the overcast, and the cruel even more than the oppressed; To worship God in all that is good and true and good in the world, and be everware a and heart can be made happy or a wrong will set right; and to recognize God's coming kingdom in the world, and help us to help men to love one another. WHAT NEW YEAR'S SIGNIFIES Time to Resume Another Journey of Life, Starting Out With a Clean Slate. The need of getting a convenient division of time into days and years which correspond with the movements of the earth and sun is not sufficient explanation of the New Year's festival. That need is wholly mechanical, mathematical, and serviceable. The mood of New Year's is not mechanical, mathematical, or serviceable. It is wholly one of abandon and heedlessness. It is such because the day represents an accounting and a sponging of the slate. Life needs renewed beginnings. It cannot lead away across unbroken and unmarked plains. It must have its definite stops, its prospects in the intimate future. The traveler must have in thought as he goes along the road a possibility of a comfortable ending of the day at an inn. We seek constantly a realization of completeness, of a beginning, a middle, and an end. Life, which is formless, must have form given it. It must have its stopping places, where it relaxes by a fire and is genial. It cannot go on traveling without defined purpose, with no objective, with no inns inviting by the light through social windows. It must have objectives in the near prospect. It seeks a definite and well laid out plan, a scheme, and, therefore, regardless of the need of dividing time into periods which can be used for the material needs of people, it makes periods which satisfy the demand for an objective. The New Year's festival is an inn which folk reach at the end of a long journey. They sit a while and are merry. They take up their journey again.—Clifford Raymond. Wholly Up to You. If 1918 is not the best year of your life, you have only yourself to blame. THE KITCHEN CABINET They can conquer who believe they can. Courage consists in equality to the problem before us.-Emerson. It is right to be contented with what we have; never with what we are. James Mackintosh. HELPFUL HINTS. Save all vegetable liquors in which vegetables are cooked to add to various foods. Potato water may be used in yeast, bread, gravies and griddle cakes. As the mineral salts are largely dissolved in the water while cooking the vegetables it is economy to save every bit and use it in the ous foods. Potato water may be used in yeast, bread, gravies and griddle cakes. As the mineral salts are largely dissolved in the water while cooking the vegetables it is economy to save every bit and use it in the food in some way. A tablespoonful of condensed milk added to a bowl of cream that has been whipped, stirring it in well, adds to its flavor and increases the amount that much. A small flashlight is a great convenience around closets or cupboards that are dark. They are useful also in looking into cupboards and drawers. When food scorches and spoils a good dish, do not scrape it, but add a tablespoonful of soda and enough cold water to cover the bottom of the dish, boil up and then set it back to soften. A glassful of hot milk will help many to remedy sleeplessness, taken in sips just before retiring. For tired and aching feet a tablespoonful of formaldehyde in a bowl of hot water, allowing the feet to soak 10 or 15 minutes, will greatly relieve them. To rub them with alcohol or vinegar, will be found soothing. Add a cupful of cooked rice to a meat loaf. It will make the meat go much farther. A Turkish towel wrung out of hot water and applied to the back of the neck will often relieve a sick headache. Lubricate your meat chopper with glycerine. It will not flavor the food or become rancid. A teaspoonful of glycerine added to grape jelly will keep the crystals from forming in it, which are so objectionable. If a little cold water is added to butter and sugar when creaming it will cream twice as quickly. Do no season steak until it is ready to put upon the platter. When putting a cake into the tins, push the batter up on the sides if a layer tin, or from the center if a loaf. It will bake with a more even surface, avoiding the hump in the middle which is so unsightly. Sliced bananas with sugar and whipped cream heaped into a baked shell, is another delicious pie. If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility. -Longfellow. HELPFUL HINTS AND ECONOMIES A most tasty fat for various uses may be made by trying out suet and mixing it while still hot with an equal portion of lard, stir until well mixed, and it will always stay soft enough to be mixed into any food. ```markdown ``` When giving a baby medicine, place the tip of the spoon against the roof of the baby's mouth; in this way it is impossible for the child to choke or object to the contents of the spoon by sputtering. When teaching a baby to eat from a spoon the same method will prove useful. An old cook claims that all fish are better if allowed to lie two hours or more before they are cooked. A medicine dropper which refuses to function will be made active again by dropping it into hot water. The heat softens the rubber and expands it. A thick slice of ham parboiled in a little water, then covered with sweet milk and a little brown sugar, and baked slowly, makes a most delicious meat dish. A piano tuner advises the use of a small dish of water in the back part of the instrument to counteract the dryness of the room due to furnace heat. This will keep the piano in tune. The old batteries which are useless and discarded from the auto may be burned in the grate after a wood fire has been started, making the most beautiful colors, especially delightful for a fireside party. A tablespoonful of olive oil with a few drops of vinegar will ease a midnight cough when all else falls. Half of a wooden clothes pin will keep a wind-rattled window quiet through the sleeping hours. A clothes pin or two will be found convenient to carry in one's suit case for various emergencies besides noisy windows. A large market basket kept in the kitchen and used to carry down cellar, will save many steps, canned fruit, jelly and vegetables may be carried up in it. Such a basket will be found useful for carrying things upstairs and down. A weighted window that sticks may be loosened by taking the cords in each hand and pulling them out until the weights are at the top, letting go suddenly they will drop back with such force that it will start the window open, when no amount of pushing will do it.

Railroads have annihilated distance so that the journey between lands of snow and lands of sun is measured by a few hours. The wonder is that anyone who can possibly help it endures the sting of Northern winters for months and months, especially as the genial South has maniurments besides its climate. Among them are the smart clothes that the fair Southern tourist indulges in. This business of furnishing apparel for winter tourists' wear has become an important factor in establishing fashions and all womanhood is interested in the parade of styles at Palm Beach, Coronada and other centers where people of wealth assemble. The best things that money can buy are seen in these places and they tone up the dress of women all over the land. medium length, are the styles in fur neck-pieces. To a general and rather vague of the great variety of f neck-pieces that smart women dispensable in all climates, as much liked to throw shoulders at indoor affairs, a have been taken off, as for wear.

Of course milady of fashion is accompanied everywhere by her knitting bag, and she may have several of these indispensables made to wear with several hats. This set will be just as appropriate in the North as in the South. The small hat is of black taffeta and is a simple affair, J THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY BEST-LIKED STYLES IN FURS. shirred over cords. It is faced with a color and bound about the edge with gold braid. The small blossoms applied to it are made of ribbon and are lovely examples of millinery art. The bag, in the shape of an old-fashioned basket, is made in the same way and its lining matches that of the hat. Its handles are of the gold braid lined with silk and it is flower-trimmed like the hat with ribbon flowers. The shape is a happy thought of the designer giving a qualit flavor of old times to a most up-to-date accessory. Next to the natural shape of the tox pelt, with head, tail and legs, square capes and straight, wide scarfs of medium length, are the best-liked styles in fur neck-pieces. This is only a general and rather vague description of the great variety of fashionable neck-pieces that smart women find indispensable in all climates. They are as much liked to throw about the shoulders at indoor affairs, after coats have been taken off, as for outdoor wear. One of the clearest new scarfs is made of Hudson seal, and is about a yard and a half long and in the neighborhood of fifteen inches wide. At each end of the scarf there is a small pocket, hardly discernable, but quite equal to keeping the hands warm. Along the edge of the scarf, on one side, there is a band of martin fur, four inches wide. It is only half as long as the scarf and therefore does not reach to the ends on either side. It protects the back of the neck and proves a becoming addition to this novel neck-piece. Another novelty in the same combination is a short sleeveless mantle of sealskin with a wide shawl collar of martin. The mantle is merely a square cupe at the back and front, joined at the shoulders. In the group of neck-pieces shown above, it will be noticed that short tails of fur, along with legs and claws, have returned to favor as a finish; also that neck-pieces are scarfs that THE FASHION WEEKLY look like capes, or capes that look like scarfs, lending themselves to a casual adjustment that is considered very chic. The square cape of kolinsky at the left has a narrow flat collar of the same fur. The scarf at the center is of Hudson seal with fox collar. At the right a longer flat scarf is shown and this is developed in fox fur. It is liked for all the rarer furs as well as sable, mink, martin. Ermine is at its best in small scarfs and collars or as a trimming on other flat furs. Julia Bottomley DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO.
