LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEGROES SPURN BILLY SUNDAY'S JIM CROW INVITATION VOL. XXIV. NEGROES SI BILLY SUN CROW (Washington Eagle.) EVERY self-respecting colored Christian will spurn Billy Sunday's Southern method. They are English-speaking, have adopted the doctrines of the "Universal Christ," and will not disgrace His Name and themselves by accepting religious jim-crowism. Miss Burroughs writes him a "note" in which she announces that the "official route" to Heaven for colored people is by way of the Cross instead of his "sawdust trail." January 31, 1918. Rev. "Billy" Sunday, Washington, D.C.: Dear Sir—The Washington Star of Wednesday announced that you are arranging to have "Jim Crow" night at your Tabernacle. You must be under the impression that the colored people of this city would like to hear you. This is not true. However, if it is your personal desire to have them hear you and see you, they might be willing to arrange for a "performance" at one of their own churches. An announcement to the effect that you want them to see you, all by yourself, might bring out a fair-sized crowd, if the weather is favorable; but we cannot promise, even under favorable weather conditions, to have any intelligent Negroes to see and hear you. Those who might attend would be just about as ignorant as the Negroes of Atlanta who accommodated you by allowing you to give them a sample performance. Atlanta, Ga., has a large number of well-educated Negroes, and the state of Georgia has a host of well-prepared Negro preachers, among them that "Prince of Georgia preachers whose church John D. Rockefeller attends regularly when he is in Augusta. Your statement of the fact that Washington Negroes are intelligent—they are the most intelligent large group in the world)—is true—too true for them to do other than treat your invitation with the contempt it deserves. We are sick and tired of "Jim Crowism" and will not accept another dose of it in our country's capital in which democracy is preached. Then, too, Negroes have heard so much of the kind of preaching that you do, with performances such as you give, that they have long since relegated that type of men and demanded the type of preachers whose style and language approach the Bible type of preachers, and therefore, not so full of slang and slush. I speak for every sensible Negro in Washington when I say that they consider your invitation to a "Jim Crow" meeting an insult, and your very thought that they want to hear you presumptous "ego." We would suggest that you shut up the Tabernacle on "Jim Crow Gospel" Night and accept the saving in fuel as our contribution to the government in its effort to conserve coal. We are quite satisfied that the way to Heaven is not via a "Jim Crow Sawdust Trail." Intelligent Negroes have selected the route that takes them by way of the Cross. Yours truly, NANNIE H. BURROUGHS. FIVE DOLLARS FOR THE BEST LETTER. Very shortly there will appear in the colored newspapers a series of short articles entitled "Business League Boosters." As the title suggests, the discussions will be confined to matters such as, advertising, selling, business methods, and other subjects of interest to National Negro Business League members and business men generally. In order to secure the very best material for this series, I am asking the readers of this paper to write me a letter relating some interesting experience they have had in dealing with Negro merchants. If the letters are praise; all the better, but if it is necessary to criticise, do so, but be sure that the criticism is wholly confined to an experience which exhibits some principle in merchandising. If letters are critical, please avoid names as far as expedient without sacrificing clarity. All letters must be signed but names of writers will not be published without their written consent. The contest is open to everyone and there are no conditions except that the letters should not exceed 300 words and should be in my hands any time before March 20th, 1918. For the best and most interesting letter submitted the sum of $5.00 will be sent to the writer. Address your letter to: Albon L. Holsey, Assistant Secretary, The National Negro Business League Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. 50000 BLACK LABORERS ARE COMING OVER COLORED CITIZENS FROM VIRGIN ISLANDS AND PORTO RICO ARE NOW BEING SOUGHT BY THE Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.—The most important statement recently issued in regard to the situation of black labor in the United States is that given out which has put a final quietus to the rumor that 500,000 Chinese laborers were to be brought here for farm and railroad work. Arrangements for the early transportation of 50,000 common laborers to the United States from Porto Rico are being made by the employment service of the Department of Labor. As soon as tonnage is available 60,000 others will be brought from Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, sufficient, the department announced Monday, to take care of any shortage in the domestic supply of railroad and agricultural workers. Director General McAdoo has asked the employment service to assist in DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16 1918 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House iable Negro Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA supplying the railroads with labor for maintenance and shop work. The first men imported will be sent to the South and Southwest for railroad work with the understanding that they will be released for farm service during the press of the agricultural season. F. C. Roberts, special agent of the department, will leave for Porto Rico next week to arrange transportation, registration of the men having been completed some time ago. Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of labor, asserted today that all requirements for common labor can be met by proper distribution of the domestic supply and by the use of American citizens from Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. He condemned agitation for importation of Chinese and Mexicans as "unnecessary and prejudicial." THE NEGRO ENGINEER REGIMENT The Ninety-second division of the National Army is now being formed from Negroes of the selective draft. It will include four regiments of infantry, three of artillery and one of engineers, besides signal corps, machine gun and other auxiliary organizations. The engineer regiment, known as the 317th Engineers, is to be composed, as has been announced by Col. Earl I. Brown at its headquarters at Camp Sherman, Ohio, "of specially selected men capable of doing everything in a mechanical, industrial or engineering line that an army may require to be done. Its duties cover a very wide range of activities. It must make surveys and supply maps; it must operate railroads; build and repair bridges, as well as destroy them when necessary; build trenches and fortifications; dig mines and blow them up; man the apparatus for gas attacks; and do a thousand other similar things. Besides its commissioned officers this regiment needs about 1,650 men, of whom 250 will be non-commissioned officers. This is a fine opportunity for graduates of industrial schools with military training, like Hampton and Tuskegee. Thirty of the nearly two hundred students and graduates of Hampton now in the service are already at Camp Sherman, some working at their trades and others ready to be called upon. Hampton men have early opportunity in all the camps to become non-commissioned officers, and many have already been recommended for the officers' training schools established at some of the cantonments. Colonel Brown, who is an officer of engineers in the regular army, is anxious to obtain all colored men possible whom have technical skill. Men not subject to draft may enlist for this regiment by applying to Col. Earl Brown, Chillicothe, Ohio, stating their qualifications. If they are subject to draft, it can be arranged for them to report directly to Camp Sherman.—Southern Workman. CHEYENNE, WYO., NOTES. Mrs. Geo.

Smith, pastor of the Second Baptist church, is planning for organizing a Wyoming and Utah States Baptist Association in the near future. If this is done it will arouse a great interest in the Baptist denomination in both states. The Search Light Club met with its president, Mrs. J. T. Muse, Thursday. Mrs. E. Blair, who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. A. Palmer, and husband, for the past two weeks, has returned to her home in Grand Island, Neb. Rev. Dr. C. O. Smith was entertained at dinner Sunday by Deacon R. H. Rodgers at the Baker's Cafe, 1709 Thomes street. The Reverend and Deacon both say if a man is real hungry and wants a real good meal, go to the Baker's Cafe. The evangelist pastor, Rev. Jeltz, returned with a good report of his ten days' series of meetings at Casper, Wyo. Seventeen converts and over $160 was raised at the close of the meeting. Mr. Harold Coverington departed the other day for Grand Island, Neb., where he will be engaged in the Union Pacific restaurant department. The Second Baptist church is planning for an entertainment February 22—Washington's birthday. The Lincoln Jubilee that was given at the A. M. E. church February 12, was reported a grand success. Many beautiful numbers were rendered. Mrs. Ollie Redd, the chairman of the program committee, deserves much credit for her excellent way of arranging the program. CANON CITY, COLO., NEWS. Bv C. M. B. The Friendship Club met at the residence of Mrs. Taylor last Friday afternoon. After a two-course lunch-on the club spent the afternoon knitting wristlets and sweaters for the Sammies. They report a delightful and interesting meeting. Mrs. Mary Holiday received a telegram from Detroit, Mich., stating the death of her son, Ki Cason. The remains were brought to Canon City for burial. Ki Cason was 26 years old and has been in the East two years, making a success of life. The funeral services were held from the residence of his mother, Mrs. Holiday, at 709 Rudd avenue, at 2 p.m., Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Prowell. Interment was at Lakeside cemetery. The Willing Workers' Club held an interesting debate last Monday. The affirmative side carried away the laurels. They were the guests of Mr. C. M. Bruton this week at his father's home. After three hours of entertainment and refreshments they disbanded, declaring they had an enjoyable evening. Mrs. C. M. Bruton arrived Monday from a very interesting visit in the East of several months' duration. Welcome home! The ladies of the Friendship Club have taken up $25 for their war relief club. This is a Sammies' club, which speaks well for our race. Much success to our ladies. Mrs. B. Palm departed this life Sunday morning. She was a devoted wife to her children and husband and was liked by all who knew her. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources Washington, Feb. 8.—Captain Malone, one of the captains at Camp Mead, near here, committed suicide Sunday by shooting himself. Captain Malone was a native of the West Indies and a former trooper of the 10th U. S. Cavalry, having recently been promoted to a captaincy. No reason has been given out at the camp for the suicide. He was a very efficient and popular officer. and burned, it treats itself worse than ti treats mine. For me to become a success is a real triumph over great obstacles. No white man has any good reason for being a failure. My race is born with an innate sense of humor. I resent injustice, but injustice cannot make life any the less interesting. I do not expect perfection in an imperfect world. Grief weighs lightly. Durham, N. C., Feb. 8.—A general call was issued a couple of weeks ago for all citizens who felt themselves patriotic to meet at the local court house in interest of the Red Cross. All classes of citizens came, of both races, but the whites in charge asked those of Color to meet in the basement of the building, where coal, junk etc., were kept. Besides Jim-Crowing them, the leaders were nervy enough to tell them they were expected to contribute something to "make the world safe to live in." Kingston, Ont., Feb. 8. Queens College has officially announced that it will no longer matriculate students of Color. This decision is largely due to the efforts made by the students to segregate themselves from the general student body and activities of the institution. The whites are said to have protested against the establishment of separate wards for the medical students to participate in clinical work. There are fourteen medical students at Queen this year, who will be allowed to finish the fourth year, but will not be allowed to continue with fifth. THE COMPENSATIONS OF BEING COLORED If people should ask me, as they ask Bert Williams, "Would you not give anything to be white?" I should answer as Mr. Williams answered, "Emphatically no!" As a Colored man I am relieved of great responsibilities, not because I am unwilling to assume them, but because they are denied me. I have no voice in the destiny of this democracy. I too, have brain, ideals and strength, but I am not permitted to help in making the pattern. As a Colored man I am without the pale. I am a looker-on. I can see the follies and faults of the white race, and though sometimes I my self am seared NO 17 and burned, it treats itself worse than ti treats mine. For me to become a success is a real triumph over great obstacles. No white man has any good reason for being a failure. My race is born with an innate sense of humor. I resent injustice, but injustice cannot make life any the less interesting. I do not expect perfection in an imperfect world. Grief weighs lightly. I never lose my soul in the race for dollars. Climbing the dizzying heights of the social ladder is not my ambition. Eating my heart out because of failures is never a chapter in my existence. The white man is forever seeking happiness. Mine I find in myself, my home, my friends, and in my labor. The most of my work is known as menial work, but the blessing of it is there is so much of it to do. The field is never overcrowded. I never want. A white man is nearly always afraid of job. My race never begs. Poverty with mine is never a problem. Sometimes I may be hungry, but the world never knows. I have too much pride. And the greatest compensation of all is that I come of a happy race. My blood is as old as human kind and it learned the lesson ages ago that all things are transient. Mine shall come into its own again. All I need do is wait, and I wait contented, The Monitor. — Omaha. EATON NEWS. Rev. and Mrs. Muse were at their post as usual Sunday.

PRESIDENT SPURNS PEACE TERMS AS OFFERED BY FOE Attacks Germany's Attitude as Voiced by Hertling. SAYS AUSTRIA WANTS PEACE Wilson Tells Congress Count Czernin Sees Principles of Issue With Clear Eyes—Ally for Settlement by Conquest—U. S. Will Continue War to the End. Washington, Feb. 13.—President Wilson, before congress on Monday, replied to the recent peace speeches by Count von Hertling, the German chancellor, and Count Czernin, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister. The president openly regarded Count Czernin's speech sympathetically, but he considered the Austrian foreign minister restrained by the embarrassment of Austria's alliance and her dependence on Germany. "Count Czernin," said the president, "seems to see the fundamental elements of peace with clear eyes and does not seek to obscure them." Chancellor Hertling's speech, however, the president characterized as "very vague and confusing" and "full of equivocal phrases," leading clearly nowhere. The aim of the German chancellor, as judged from his speech, the president thought, evidently was to secure a peace advantageous to the aims of the German military autocracy and then subscribe to an international covenant to make it secure. Warns Military Autocracy. The president reminded the statesmen of the central empires that peace can be discussed only on the basis of permanency and essential justice and broadly warned the people of the central empires that the participation of the United States in the war for the emancipation of humanity has only begun. Plainly the president warned the German military autocracy that there was to be no pausing in the mobilization of America's vast military resources now steadily on their way to the battle fronts, and that if peace were to be discussed, it would have to be on a basis of sincerity. Otherwise, the president made it plain, there was to be no turning back until military autocracy was crushed by force of arms. Count Hertling, the president declared, evidently was seeking such a peace as was made at the congress of Vienna. "What is at stake now," said the president, "is the peace of the world. What we are striving for is new universal principles of right and justice—no mere peace of shreds and patches. Will Force Justice. In conclusion the president warned the central empires that the vast resources of the United States would accomplish in the end what might be accomplished by peaceful negotiation. "Our resources are in part mobilized now," said he, "and we shall not pause until they are mobilized in their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fighting front and will go more and more rapidly. "Our whole strength will be put into this war of emancipation—emancipation from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers—whatever the difficulties and partial delays. We are indomitable in our power of independent action and can in no circumstances consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. "The power of the United States is a menace to no people and no nation. It will never be used in aggression or for the aggrandizement of any selfish interest of our own. It springs out of freedom and is for the service of freedom." The president was interrupted by applause at every reference to the United States standing steadfastly against a patched-up peace. Probably the greatest applause broke out when the president declared that the militarists of Germany were the only element now preventing a world peace. When he concluded after speaking 20 minutes, the entire audience as usual rose and cheered. President's Address. The president's address is as follows: "Gentlemen of the congress: "On January 8 I had the honor of addressing you on the objects of the war as our people conceive them. The prime minister of Great Britain had spoken in similar terms on January 5. To these addresses the German chancellor replied on the 24th and Count Czernin for Austria on the same day. It is gratifying to have our desire so promptly realized that all exchanges of view on this great matter should be made in the hearing of all the world. "Count Czernin's reply, which is directed chiefly to my own address on January 8, is uttered in a very friendly tone. "He finds in my statement a sufficiently encouraging approach to the views of his own government to justify him in believing that it furnishes a basis for a more detailed discussion of purposes by the two governments. He is represented to have intimated that the views he was expressing had been communicated to me beforehand and that I was aware of them at the time he was uttering them, but in this I am sure he was misunderstood. I had received no intimation of what he intended to say. There was, of course, no reason why he should communicate privately with me. I am quite content to be one of his public audience. Hertling's Reply Is Vague. "Count von Hertling's reply is, I must say, very vague and very confusing. It is full of equivocal phrases and leads, it is not clear, where. But it is certainly in a very different tone from that of Count Czernin and apparently of an opposite purpose. It confirms, I am sorry to say, rather than removes, the unfortunate impression made by what we had learned of the conference at Brest-Litovsk. His discussion and acceptance of our general principles lead him to no practical conclusion. "He refuses to apply them to the substantive items which must constitute the body of any final settlement. He is jealous of international action and of international counsel. He accepts, he says, the principle of public diplomacy, but he appears to insist that it be confined, at any rate in this case, to generalities, and that the several particular questions of territory and sovereignty, the several questions upon whose settlement must depend the acceptance of peace by the 23 states now engaged in the war, must be discussed and settled, not in general council, but severally by the nations most immediately concerned by interest or neighborhood. Military Party Favored. "He agreed that the seas should be free, but looks askance at any limitation to that freedom by international action in the interest of the common order. He would without reserve be glad to see economic barriers removed between nation and nation, for that could in no way impede the ambitions of the military party with whom he seems constrained to keep on terms. Neither does he raise objection to a limitation of armaments. That matter will be settled of itself, he thinks, by the economic conditions which must follow the war. But the German colonies, he demands, must be returned without debate. He will discuss with no one but the representatives of Russia what dispositions shall be made of the peoples and the lands of the Baltic provinces; with no one but the government of France the "conditions" under which French territory shall be evacuated; and only with Austria what shall be done with Poland. Cannot Accept Vienna Peace. "In the determination of all questions affecting the Balkan states he defers as I understand him to Austria and Turkey; and with regard to the agreements to be entered into concerning the non-Turkish peoples of the present Ottoman empire to the Turkish authorities themselves. After a settlement all around, effected in this fashion, by individual barter and concession, he would have no objection, if I correctly interpret his statement, to a league of nations which would undertake to hold the new balance of power steady against external disturbances. "It must be evident to everyone who understands what this war has wrought in the opinion and temper of the world that no general peace, no peace worth the infinite sacrifices of these years of tragical suffering, can possibly be arrived at in any such fashion. Refers to the Reichstag. "The method the German chancellor proposes is the method of the congress of Vienna. We cannot and will not return to that. What is at stake now is the peace of the world. What we are striving for is a new international order based upon broad and universal principles of right and justice—no mere peace of shreds and patches. Is it possible that Count von Hertling does not see that, does not grasp it, is, in fact, living in his thought in a world dead and gone? Has he utterly forgotten the reichstag resolutions of the 19th of July, or does he deliberately ignore them? They spoke of the conditions of a general peace, not of national aggrandizement or of arrangements between state and state. The peace of the world depends upon the just settlement of each of the several problems to which I adverted in my recent address to the congress. I, of course, do not mean that the peace of the world depends upon the acceptance of any particular set of suggestions as to the way in which those problems are to be dealt with. I mean only that these problems, each and all, affect the whole world; that unless they are dealt with in a spirit of unselfish and unbiased justice, with a view to the wishes, the natural connections, the racial aspirations, the security and peace of mind of the peoples involved, no permanent peace will have been attained. "They cannot be discussed separately or in corners. None of them constitutes a private or separate interest from which the opinion of the world may be shut out. Whatever affects the peace affects mankind, and nothing settled by military force, if settled wrong, is settled at all. It will presently have to be reopened. All Nations In Judgment. "Is Count von Hertling not aware that he is speaking in the court of mankind, that all the awakened nations of the world now sit in judgment on what every public man of whatever nation may say on the issues of a conflict which has spread to every nation of the world? The reichstag resolutions of July themselves frankly accepted the decisions of that court. There shall be no annexations, no contributions, no punitive damages. Peopleles are not to be hended about from one sovereignty to another by an international conference or an understanding between rivals and antagonists. National aspirations must be respected, peoples may now be dominated and governed only by their own consent. "Self-determination" is not a mere phrase, it is an imperative principle of action, which statesmen will henceforth ignore at their peril. We cannot have general peace for the asking or by the mere arrangement of a peace conference. It cannot be pieced together out of individual understandings between powerful states. All Parties Must Join. "All the parties to this war must join in the settlement of every issue anywhere involved in it, because what we are seeking is a peace that we can all unite to guarantee and maintain and every item of it must be submitted to the common judgment whether it be right or fair, an act of justice rather than a bargain between sovereigns. "The United States has no desire to interfere in European affairs or to act as arbiter in European territorial disputes. She would disdain to take advantage of any internal weakness or disorder to impose her own will upon another people. She is quite ready to be shown that the settlements she has suggested are not the best or the most enduring. They are only her own provisional sketch of principles and of the way in which they should be applied. "But she entered this war because she was made a partner, whether she would or not, in the sufferings and indignities inflicted by the military masters of Germany, against the peace and security of mankind, and the conditions of peace will touch her as nearly as they will touch any other nation to which is intrusted a leading part in the maintenance of civilization. She cannot see her way to peace until the causes of this war are removed, its renewal rendered as nearly as may be impossible. Rights of Weak Disregarded. "The war had its roots in the disregard of the rights of small nations and of nationalities-which lacked the union and the force to make good their claim to determine their own allegiances and their own forms of political life. "Covenants must now be entered into which will render such things impossible for the future; and those covenants must be backed by the united force of all the nations that love justice and are willing to maintain it at any cost. If territorial settlements and the political relations of great populations which have not the organized power to resist are to be determined by the contracts of the powerful governments which consider themselves most directly affected, as Count von Hertling proposes, why may not economic questions also? It has come about in the altered world in which we now find ourselves that justice and the rights of peoples affect the whole field of international dealing as much as access to raw materials and fair and equal conditions of trade. "Count von Hertling wants the essential bases of commercial and industrial life to be safeguarded by common agreement and guaranty, but he cannot expect that to be conceded him if the other matters to be determined by the articles of peace are not handled in the same way as items in the final accounting. Separate Pacts Barrier. "He cannot ask the benefit of common agreement in the one field without according it in the other. I take it for granted that he sees that separate and selfish compacts with regard to trade and the essential materials of manufacture would afford no foundation for peace. Neither, he may rest assured, will separate and selfish compacts with regard to provinces and peoples. "Count Czerninl seems to see the fundamental elements of peace with clear eyes and does not seek to obscure them. He sees that an independent Poland, made up of all the indisputably Polish peoples who lie contiguous to one another, is a matter of European concern, and must, of course, be conceded; that Belgium must be evacuated and restored, no matter what sacrifices and concessions that may involve, and that national aspirations must be satisfied even within his own empire in the common interest of Europe and mankind. If he is silent about questions which touch the interest and purpose of his allies more nearly than they touch those of Austria only, it must of course be because he feels constrained, I suppose, to defer to Germany and Turkey in the circumstances. "Seeing and conceding as he does the essential principles involved and the necessity of candidly applying them, he naturally feels that Austria can respond to the purpose of peace as expressed by the United States with less embarrassment than could Germany. He would probably have gone much further had it not been for the embarrassments of Austria's alliances and of her dependence upon Germany. "After all, the test of whether it is possible for either government to go any further in this comparison of views is simple and obvious. Principles Approved. The principles to be applied are these: "1. That each part of the final settlement must be based upon the essential justice of that particular cause and upon such adjustments as are most likely to bring a peace that will be permanent. "2. That peoples and provinces are not to be bartered about from sovereignty to sovereignty as if they were mere chattels and pawns in a game, even the great game, now forever dis- credited, of the balance of power; but that, "3. Every territorial settlement involved in this war must be made in the interest and for the benefit of the populations concerned and not as a part of any adjustment or compromise of claims among rival states; and "4. That all well-defined national aspirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be accorded them without introducing new or perpetuating old elements of discord and antagonism that would be likely in time to break the peace of Europe and consequently of the world. Autocracy Sole Bar to Peace. Autocracy Sole Bar to Peace. "A general peace erected on such foundations can be discussed. Until such a peace can be secured we have no choice but to go on. So far as we can judge these principles that we regard as fundamental are already everywhere accepted as imperative except among the spokesmen of the military and annexationist party in Germany. If they have anywhere else been rejected, the objectors have not been sufficiently numerous or influential to make their voices audible. The tragical circumstance is that this one party in Germany is apparently willing and able to send millions of men to their death to prevent what all the world now sees to be just. "I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United States if I did not say once more that we entered this war upon no small occasion and that we never can turn back from a course chosen upon principle. Our resources are in part mobilized now and we shall not pause until they are mobilized in their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fighting front and will go more and more rapidly. "Our whole strength will be put into this war of emancipation—emancipation from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers—whatever the difficulties and present partial delays. American Will Not Turn Back American Will Not Turn Back. "We are indomitable in our power of independent action and can in no circumstance consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. We believe that our own desire for a new international order under which reason and justice and the common interests' of mankind shall prevail is the desire of enlightened men everywhere. Without that new order the world will be without peace and human life will lack tolerable conditions of existence and development. Having set our hand to the task of achieving it we shall not turn back. "I hope that it is not necessary for me to add that no word of what I have said is intended as a threat. That is not the temper of our people. I have spoken thus only that the whole world may know the true spirit of America—that men everywhere may know that our passion for justice and for self-government is no mere passion of words, but a passion which, once set in action, must be satisfied. "The power of the United States is a menace to no nation or people. It will never be used in aggression or for the aggrandizement of any selfish interest of our own. It springs out of freedom and is for the service of freedom." UNSINKABLE SHIP FOR U. S. Naval Advisor Declares New Invention Will Defy German Submarines. New York, Feb. 13.—Means have been found to make troop transports unsinkable by submarine, according to a statement made by William L. Saunders, vice chairman of the naval consulting board, in an address at a dinner of the University of Pennsylvania alumni in this city. Mr. Saunders said that one of the ships recently commandeered by the government "now lies at an Atlantic port and in such shape that she cannot be sunk by an exploding torpedo." "I can conceive of no reason why this information should be withheld," he added. "On the contrary, I believe, it is well that the enemy may come to realize that the time has been reached when American transports which that enemy cannot sink are ready for the transportation of our troops. This ship may have a hole thirty or forty feet in diameter blown in her side and she will remain afloat. Such a hole would waterlog but one-tenth of the honeycombed airtight cells." Mr. Saunders described in detail the plan to keep ships afloat after they had been torpedoed and the manner in which it had been developed by William F. Donnelly, a New York marine engineer, working under authorization of the naval consulting board. It is understood that the unsinkable ship has no fewer than 12,000 airtight cells. "Of course it will take some time to equip similarly the large number of transports we have," continued Mr. Saunders. "It is my belief, however, that nothing will be left undone by the administration to safeguard the lives of large troop contingents to be moved across the Atlantic." Secretary Baker has insisted before the senate committee that 1,500,000 American troops could be taken to France and kept supplied during 1918. His replies to the questions as to where the tonnage for the task was to come from have indicated that there was some information at hand which he did not care to disclose. U. S.

A. Notes Exercises Held in Honor of Lincoln and Douglass THE exercises held in honor of Lincoln and Douglass last Sunday afternoon was a great success. The rooms were crowded to the doors. A somewhat impromptu glee club rendered music. Excellent addresses were delivered by Dr. Westbrook, who gave "A Retrospect of the Past," by Mrs. Alice D. Webb, who spoke on "Frederick Douglass," and by Counsellor Blakemore, who delivered the oration on "Lincoln." Special mention must also be made of Miss Elsie Von Dickersohn, who read very feelingly "The Quadron Girl," by Tennyson, to a fitting piano accompaniment by Miss Beatrice Shrilleh; also to Miss Fay Shivers' answer to the query, "Did Lincoln Die in Vain?" by a most excellent piano rendition of "Moonlight on the Hudson." Secretary Thomas J. Bell will be the speaker next Sunday afternoon. His subject will be, "Important Phases of the Race Question Viewed in the Light of the Great Montgomery Race Conference." This subject is altogether a new presentation of the 'race question, and should be heard by everybody. Ladies will be admitted. The meeting begins promptly at 4 o'clock.

They are at the half-mile post and off for the three-quarter post. It is going to be a grand and glorious finish. Mr. J. P. is completely out of the race, and a villian has taken his place; not the kind of a villian that is harsh and rough, but a real kind, smiling outlaw that has a winning way about him that is as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar, and of course all the brown skins must sit up and take notice whenever he appears on the scene. His long, black mustache and that real handsome disposition has given him a chance in one of the greatest and most thrilling races ever undertaken in a small city. They are at the three-quarter post and off for the home stretch with that real handsome, kind-hearted boy in the lead. Mr. W. P. entered the race, and is showing some speed. He is another one of Canon's young society that is always ready to take on some joy, so he entered the race for pleasure. I take special notice to a Mr. So-and-So, who seems to be very interested, as this great derby is rapidly coming to an end. He whispered to me and said, "I am going to take the Jew on them racers over there." I feel there is going to be foul play. Maybe he is planning to foul the leader and slide under the wire a winner. But if the Supreme Judge happens to lamp him I'm afraid he will be disqualified. They are on the home stretch. Mr. I. R. leads with Mr. L. H. a close second. Mr. W. P. is running third. The villian is fourth and is running with all the power of a real racer. I now see Mr. L. H. has taken new courage. He has thrown off the yoke of inexperience and he is making a desperate and thrilling race for one of the cutest little girls that ever paid Fremont county a visit. From my reserve seat view I am looking on several of Canon's society that is going to put something over the Sammy boys if they are not real careful, as the track is very slippery. This race must be ran with care. The girls are enjoying every yard of this great derby, but something terrible has happened! Mutt and Jeff have appeared upon the scene. Mr. L. H. jumps into first place, and with a winning smile slides under the line a winner, and as the pennants went up into the air praising the winner, the little girl turns to me with a smile and says: "Do you think Jeff will ever be as tall as Mutt?"

(Poem written for the unveiling of the tablet at Severn Cross Roads, where Washington passed on his way to resign ha oanithissloniat Annspollay HIS roadside sings again to- day— Here where the barren branches sway And keen December winds sweep by Beneath a cold and azure sky— The old road echoes to some tread Of morning ina vanished hour When here the red-cheeked courier sped, ‘And here the young land's pride and flower Of glory and achievement came To add fresh glory to his name. The villages had all come out, To hear the news, to watch about To catch some glimpse far up the way Of Washington—who from the fray, ‘And from the council and the crest, Was riding down his sword to lay Once more upon his country’s breast— While he stepped back to that sweet rest He yearned for. Yonder sounds a call! A bugle’s note, mayhap the fall Of horse-hoofs on the old State road— From every hamlet and abode Men, women, children, hurry forth: The wind is sweet, though west by north, ‘And keen with that sharp chill that comes When on the hill the partridge drums. This way they look, this way and that! They'll know him by his coat and hat; They've seen his face in pictures, so There won't be any doubt they'll know; But deep within their hearts they sigh They'll know him by his forthrigh: eve, His noble mien, his lofty frame, His fitting in with road and sky ‘As nature fits all great forms in, ‘And signs the portrait with her name. The young folk chatter, smile anc grin, ‘Th» ald are orone to be severe. And stretch each vortice of the ear To catch that first sharp clicking sound Of the stage coach thundering on its way, The hoof-beat on the frozen ground That knows the kind of tune to play. Some in smalt groups together drawn Wait on the green bench of a lawn, And these—in somewise more se- date— The wisdom of his act debate. One rises who defends the sire Of his great land, and vows with ire ’Tis only a great man's way, indeed, To give up lofty place, secede From honors of such high degree, Putting ambition aside, and fame, Upon the altar whence they came— His country's heart—and stepping down From all the lure of high renown, Take his old place in life again, One with all kindred gentlemen! Some tell the story of his trip, While others hark with hanging lip— That parting at old Fraunces inn With those who'd been his aids at ne, ta Tears in his eyes, and in his heart That aching that they feel who part With comrades and with friends | who've spent Hours with them in the battlement ‘Of life, of fate, of hopes and dreams, And brave adventurings long before. Then to the barge they see him go At Whitehall Ferry, bowing low In all that stately form of grace At each bowed head and tear-stained face. And then that silent, sweet adieu At Paulus Hook—sad words and few, A silent waving of the hand Back to his high and faithful band, Then with his face set hither— strong In the high purpose he had made To heed no imploring of the throng But lay at his country's feet his blade. Then the triumphant jaunt begun— Those days of journeying in the sun; ‘The plaudits of a nation’s best Poured round him at each stopping place, And on the roads from mile to mile Always some patriot in whose breast Tnviolate love had left its trace, Coming to bow by the road he'd take And kiss the cold ground for his dear sake. Philadelphian’s loud acclaim. Then Baltimore—her royal bounty Poured as *twas never poured before, By every county seat and county— To pay due homage to his name, And give him a welcome at this door Of Maryland he'd remember long As life should last or dreams prolong Their memories in his noble soul. Then once again the coach wheels roll. He's coming—down the General's Way! The old State road is God's today! God's—and beneath his sparkling sun— God's and the General Washington! Ten miles beyond the cross roads lies The capital; o'er yonder rise The Severn smiles neath azure skies, Where Indian Landing sleeps beside The murmuring music of that tide, Whose song—as light as beauty— cheers The silvering romance of the years. He'll pass here soon; and this way rings The music of the morn! Had kings Such love from those they rule as he— Ah well, what kingdoms we should see! But he has struck down kings; his sword Had fought for freedom and the Lord. And now the cross roads teems with life, The hour has come, the keen wind’s knife Is cutting under skin and bono, But who cares for the cold—that Tone, Grave figure shall rewarm each heart! An echo; see how sharp ears start. It is the General—hooray! And down the General's Highway The yeomen who have seen him pass Follow in cheering groups—one mass Of burning and of patriot zeal To be first followers at his heel. It is the General—hooray! This roadside sings again today. This nation sings, its heart still bowed Before him in those dreams that crowd. The moving canvas of the years. There, like a peer among his peers, The vision looms again, and he Stands in that room we still may see, One hand behind his back, and one Laying that sword his bravery won Upon the table. A shaft of light Across the senate chamber steals; A prelate in the foreground kneels. A consecrated hour, indeed, That hour of high, exalted need, That noble and immortal act— Its spirit gleaming above its fact, Its soul of beauty so made one With the high soul of Washington!

That winter at Valley Forge suspasses the retreat from Moscow, for the American he- Toes and their great commander en- dured through the long winter instead of fleeing. “How comes it, sir,” said Washing- ton to the officer as they marched into the valley, “that I have tracked the march of your troops by the blood- stains on the frozen ground? Were ‘there no shoes in the commissary's ‘stores, that this sad spectacle {s to be seen along the public highway?” | The officer replied: “When shoes were Issued the regiments were served in turn; it was our misfortune to be ‘among the last and the stores became exhausted.” | Washington’s emotions were of the strongest kind and he sald, “Poor fel- lows!" “At no period of the war,” writes Chief Justice Marshall, “had the Amer- fean army been reduced to a situa- tion of greater peril than during the winter at Valley Forge. More than once they were absolutely without food. ‘There was seldom at any time a quan- tity of provisions sufficient for a week.

The Quaker Isaac Potts tells us of Washington's prayer at Val- ley Forge, how, as he traversed the for- est, he heard a fervent yotce. Ap- proaching nearer, whom should he be- hold, in,a kind of bower, but the com- mander in chief on his knees praying to the Ruler of the Universe. At the moment when Friend Potts, concealed by the trees, came up, Washington was interceding for his beloved country. When he reached home his wife asked the reason fo- his agitation. “‘T have this day seen,’ replied he, ‘what I shall never forget. If George Washington be not a man of God, I am mistaken, and still more shall I be dis- appointed if God, through him, does not perform some great thing for the country.’” The Aan of Washinaton. However his uilitary fame may ex- clte the wonder of mankind, it is chiefly by his civil magistracy that Washing- ton’s example will instruct them. . . . Such a chief magistrate as Washing- ton appears like the pole star in a clear sky, to direct the skillful statesman. His presidency will form an epoch and be distinguished as the age of Wash- ington, Already it assumes its high place In the political region. Like the Milky Way, It whitens along Its allot- ted portion of the hemisphere. The latest generations of men will survey, through the telescope of histery, the space where so many virtues blend thelr rays and delight to separate them into groups and distinct virtués. As the best Illustration of them, the living monument to which the first of pa- triots would have chosen to consign his fame, it is my earnest prayer to heaven that our country may subsist, even in that late day, in the plenitude of its liberty and happiness and mingle its mild glory with Washington's —Fisher Ames, ag WASHINGTON |: ;’ i iC 4) ay SIDELIGHIS ia United Service Club of America Proves Popular Ween ev eshington has a historic Army and Navy club. Like everything else connected with the war and navy departments, the sud- den expansion of the nation's fighting forces overtaxed this Club. Officers vember three young officers put their heads together to find a way to meet this need. They were Capt. L. H. Ellison, engineers, U. S. R.; Capt. T. H. Messer, engineers, U. S. R., and Lieut. E. C. Irion, infantry, N. A. Secretary of War Baker gave them his hearty indorsement of a project they worked out for a service club, to be launched in Washington ,with auxiliaries wher- ever officers of the army and navy are gathered. A historic Washington home was leased and opened as the headquarters of the parent club. This home is the so-called Westinghouse mansion, 1500 Twentieth street, facing Dupont circle. It was built by James G. Blaine, later belonged to his son, was occupied for a brief time by Joseph Leiter, and passed into the hands of the Westinghouse family, and now is the property of George Westinghouse, Jr., from whom it wag teased. So popular has the club become that options already have been obtained upon several other buildings in the neighborhood, which are under consider- ation for use as additional sleeping quarters. In the original club building there not only are rooms to be had for officers who remain here for a time, but the fourth floor is given over to a barracks to accommodate the overflow of transients who desire accommodations for a night or two as their assign- ments bring them to Washington.

She resits, and thenceforth lays another shelled beauty. ‘There hangs a luminous harness which has been patented, so that a horse being driven through the country at night will look like a sheet of chained lightening.

WAS one bony-ribbed old horse that couldn't skate. So he slipped on the ice and fell. In the wagon he was hitched to sat two women of the gingham-apron class, both with the comfortable shapelessness that comes asphalt when the horse began to slide and tried to hold him up. But he fell with a convincingness that could have given points to Mother Eve and Old Rome. Pink Nuby kept to her sack, but helped along with advice which the other was too wise to follow. The old horse lay as rigid as a dead thing that needed burying, his eye- balls showing white and his exposed teeth hard and yellow, like winter corn. Just as it seemed the exciting moment for a policeman to come along and do things with his pistol, a good Samaritan crossed from the south side of the avenue—halted—unbuckled some harness—untangled the reins from the hind hoof—boosted old bony to his feet and set him between his harness—buckled him in and tossed the lines to Ear-flaps, who had lumbered back to her seat-— waved a hand in jolly protest to ward off jubilating gratitude—and bolted out of the incident, You couldn't expect an earth earthly chap with an unregenerate air of been at lunch—and maybe before and after—that prohibition had not yet succeeded in apotheosizing out of his system to size up to the outward virtue of that other Samaritan of the Scripture, but the deed was equally helpful.

Bribery at one point, flattery at another, the dexterous use of innocent visionaries, the careful encouragement of dissensions everywhere, the industrious dissemination of falsehoods tending to emblossi nations with one another, class with class, and all to weaken and demoralize any peoples who might by union become strong—this sort of thing for years has been going on in the hands of German agents everywhere. The progress of the world implies the growth of good will and mutual helpfulness wherever men make their homes. Pan-German intrigue foments International Film Service Harry Pratt Judson. distrust and ill will; seeks out all the discordant elements of life with tireless malevolence. German agents are found stirring up anti-British sentiment in India and South Africa and Ireland; anti-American sentiment in Mexico and Colombia, in Argentina and Chile; animosity against the whites among southern negroes; dislike of Japan in America and dislike of America in Japan; discord between Walloons and Flemings in tortured Belgium. All this is to the definite end of smoothing the way for German arms when the time comes to strike. German military power finds German intrigue and treachery its handmaid. Hamburg to Bagdad. But the basis of the whole scheme of Prussian world dominion is absolute German control from Hamburg to Bagdad. This implies a fortress in the center of Europe, from which lightning blows can be struck in all directions. It implies an intrenched position on the North sea, on the Baltic, on the Adriatic, on the Aegean, on the Black sea and the Straits, on the Mediterranean and the Persian gulf. It implies domination, political, military and economic, of the Balkan peninsula, with all its rich lands, of the Suez canal and Egypt. It means the domination of Asia and Africa. It means Napoleon said, Constantinople, the empire of the world. There might be the simulacrum of an alliance with Turkey and Bulgaria, Serbia, and Greece. But, throughout all, Germany would everywhere absolutely control, for German political power and for the development of German capital and German industry. For all practical purposes it would be a German empire from the Baltic to the Persian gulf. But in order to carry out this vast scheme, grandiose as it may appear, but quite real and definite, as it is in point of fact, the first condition, without which all would fall to pieces like a house of cards, is to secure complete control by Germany over the dual monarchy, Austria-Hungary. The alliance at present and for so many years in force must be exchanged for a much closer relation, one which, whatever its form, will mean that Germany has the final voice in every essential question. As in the German empire under the guise of federation it is in the last analysis Prussia which determines all essential policies, so in the new Mittel Europa, it will be Germany, in other words Prussia, which will really govern. Whatever the outward semblance of things, in fact Austria and Hungary will then cease to be independent. The German kalser will make the Prussian will supreme throughout. The reasons for this German middle Europe plan will appear later. Absolutism in Austria-Hungary. But what is the dual monarchy which the Prussian king aims to make his footstool? The House of Hapsburg has reigned in Vienna for centuries. It has come down from the middle ages and retains to the full the medieval ideas of absolutism. It is only since 1806 that the title of emperor of Austria has been used; in fact the head of the House of Hapsburg reigns in many of the crown lands of the empire by inheritance, as duke, count or whatnot. In 1526 the duke of Austria was elected king of Bohemia, and in the same year he was elected king of Hungary. These titles and the regal authority which they gave, although in each case the crown was by right elective, the Hapsburgs have kept as hereditary and despotic, quite as much as in their hereditary upper and lower Austria. Thus, in the first place, we have as an essential factor in the dual monarchy a medieval and aristocratic monarch—and a monarchy in a German family. The second striking fact is the diversity of races and languages. Germany is nearly homogeneous. It has on its borders some non-German subjects, inhabiting lands which represent some of the plunder of Prussian wars—Poles in Posen, Danes in Schleswig, French in Alsace-Lorraine. But the great mass of the people of the empire are German in blood and speech. **Germans in Dual Monarchy.** In Austria-Hungary, however, the Germans are a minority; in a total population of about 50,000,000 there are only 12,000,000 Germans. The other races are, in round numbers, Slavs, 24,000,000; Magyars (Hungarians), 10,000,000, and Latins, 4,000,000. In other words, the population is 24 per cent German, 48 per cent Slav, 20 per cent Magyar, and 8 per cent Latin. But note that the German Hapsburgs, as long as they could, ruled autocratically in the interest of Germanizing the entire empire. German was the official language, German were the laws, German the officers. The collapse of the Austrian armies in 1859, in the war with France and Sardinia, and again in 1866, in the war with Prussia, compelled the Hapsburgs to modify their methods. A simulacrum of elective parliaments was introduced, and in 1867 the empire was divided. The Magyars were taken into partnership and the dual monarchy was formed. In Vienna the head of the house of Hapsburg reigns as emperor of Austria; in Budapest he reigns as king of Hungary. Each monarchy has its own parliament and cabinet, and there are joint ministries of foreign affairs, war and finance, with a sort of joint parliamentary committee for common purposes. But while in this arrangement of 1867 the Magyars were given their freedom, palms were taken by both the Germans of Austria and the Magyars of Hungary that the Slavs should be pushed to the wall. Said the Austrian representative, Count Beust, at that time to his Magyar colleague: "We will take care of our barbarians; you must take care of yours." Whom did he mean? Germans Control Austria. Germans Control Austria Austria has a population of some 28,000,000. Of these there are 10,000,000 Germans, the remaining 18,000,000 being mainly Slavs—Poles and Bohemians, Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, with many Italians in the provinces bordering Italy. It is these non-Germans, especially the Slavs, whom Beust called "barbarians." The Austrian parliament is cunningly jugged in the membership of its elective lower house. At the sitting last spring—the first meeting since the war broke out—a rabid pan-German was elected to the presidency of the lower house by a vote of 215 to 105—215 Germans to 195 non-Germans in a nation in which the Germans are in a minority with a ratio of 10 to 18. The electoral law puts about an average of 42,889 Germans in a parliamentary district, while it takes about 65,479 Germans to elect one deputy. Polish Gallicia is a fragment of Poland, the ancient kingdom destroyed by Prussia, Austria and Russia near the end of the eighteenth century; Gallicia was Austria's share of the loot. The Bohemians, with their neighbors, the Slovaks of Moravia, are descended from the sturdy race of John Huss and of Comenius. Their forefathers unwisely elected the head of the house of Hapsburg as their king in 1526, and the ancient constitution of St. Vaclav soon was disregarded, and the liberty-loving Czechs became little more than helots of their Austrian overlords. The house of Hapsburg is not noted for fidelity to engagements. The Croats, Serbs and Slovenes are a remnant of the great Serbian monarchy of the fourteenth century, which was overrun and crushed by the Turks. Austria protected them, gladly used them in her armies, and in turn made them virtual serfs. They are essentially the same people and speak the same language as the Serbs of Serbia and Montenegro. The Italians in Austria are reminders of the time when a large share of Italy was under the Austrian yoke. The wars of 1859, 1860 and 1866 drove the Hapsburgurs out of the Italian peninsula, but it will take another war for the rest of the really Italian lands, Italia Irredenta, to be secured from the ancient tyrant. Hungary, too, has by no means a homogeneous Magyar population. There are some 10,000,000 Magyars. perhaps 2,000,000 Germans and 8,000,000 Slavs, Roumanians and Italians. The Hungarans, like the Germans of Austria, manage their electoral districts so as to keep a majority of parliament always Magyar. But besides the two parts of the dual monarchy there are the imperial provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with a population of about 2,000,000, nearly all Serbians. These provinces by the great general European treaty of 1878, by which the war between Russia and Turkey for the liberation of the races of the peninsula from the age-long tyranny of the Turks was ended, were turned over to Austria-Hungary to administer, with the specific provision that they should not be annexed. They were to be held in trust. In justice both provinces should have formed a part of the kingdom of Serbia, to which country they naturally belonged by race, language and historical traditions. But Austria-Hungary was determined to keep Serbia weak, and in 1908 the dual monarchy annexed them, in flagrant disregard of the treaty of 1878. Slavs Kept in Subjection. Here, then, we have the essence of Austria-Hungary: An autocratic German monarchy; a pretense of parliaments with elective lower houses; a German minority dominant in Austria by aid of the German monarch; in Hungary the Magyars keeping down the Slavs and Latins with an iron hand. Now comes in the German kaiser. In order to save control from Hamburg to Bagdad, which is absolutely essential to the plan of German world dominion, there must be complete German ascendancy in the Balkan peninsula. Dependency of Bulgaria under a German king; dependency of Greece under a king ruled by his queen, the kaiser's sister; Serbia crushed and made a dependency by conquest would secure this object. The crushing of Serbia was the keystone of the arch. Control of Austria Necessary. But German control of the Balkan lands could not be effected without absolute German control of Austria-Hungary. The alliance which has now prevailed for so many years is not enough. The bonds must be drawn far closer, and in such a way as to make Germany really the controlling force; to make German will law throughout Austria-Hungary. A confederation of the two countries in a customs union is the first step to be devised. This was the well-known device by which Prussia paved the way for political supremacy in north Germany. Then these economic ties would soon be supplemented by others, which would in fact make the dual monarchy, though under the guise of an alliance, little more than a satrapy of Prussia. The war has brought the two powers a long way on this path, the Austrian armies being under German command and Austrian policies being determined now in Berlin. This is the Mittel Europa of the pan-German schemes, to which reference has been made above. Thus we see clearly the sequence of the Prussian plan: To dominate Austria-Hungary, then to dominate the Balkan peninsula, then to dominate Turkey, then to dominate the world. And the keystone of the arch is Austria-Hungary. Security Only in Complete Victory. Security Only in Complete Victory. The world can be made safe from the Prussian piratical attack only, first of all, by a military victory so complete that German militarism is definitely overthrown; in the second place by adequate securities against another such wanton breaking of the world's peace. What these securities must be can be determined definitely only after the victory is made sure. But, whatever else may be decided to be necessary, surely the most essential thing of all will be to prevent Germany from adding to her military power the millions of subjects of Austria-Hungary, the great majority of whom are not German, are not Magyar, and who are themselves inherently hostile to all schemes of German aggression. How can this insurmountable bar be put across the path of the German invasion of the East? In either of two ways. Should the dual empire give freedom to its Slav subjects and become a federation of three—German, Magyar and Slav—or of four—German, Magyar, North Slav (Bohemian-Slovak), and South Slav (Serbo-Croat)—there would be no difficulty. If this reorganization is refused, then the only alternative for the safety of the world will be found in a disruption of the ramshackle Austro-Hungarian empire of oppression. The Poles of Galicia should go to a free Poland, not a German-ruled Poland, but an independent Poland. The Bohemians, with their fellow Czechs in Moravia and Silesia, should be restored to their old freedom. The South Slavs should go where they belong, to a greater Serbia. The Roumanian Latins of Transylvania should go to their own kin of Roumania, and the Italian Latins to Italy. These free and strong states will be rescued from Austrian tyranny, and will put an impassible barrier between Prussianized Germany and Constantinople. Promises Cannot Be Trusted. Some such guarantees the world should secure to prevent another Prussian war of conquest. Treaties cannot bind the present German state or the present Austrian state. We remember the Belgian treaty and Prussia, the Berlin treaty of 1878 and Austria. Then, too, we must recall that Austria is quite as guilty of bringing on the world war as is Germany. The arrogant ultimatum to Serbia, obviously not intended to be met in such a way as to make peace possible, was the act directly of the Austro-Hungarian government.

DECLARE RUSSIA PEACESHAM MOVE DEMOBILIZATION ORDER HELD UP AND RUSSIANS EXPECTED TO RE-ENTER WAR. GERMANS ARE PUZZLED POLISH CABINET RESIGNS SWEDE OFFICIALS SEND AID TO ALAND ISLANDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Amsterdam, Feb. 15.—The conference of military leaders at German headquarters is discussing "energetic military measures toward Russia," the Stuttgart Neues Tageblatt declares, in copies received here. Judging from the latest indications in the German press, much dissatisfaction and suspicion has been aroused by the latest move of Foreign Minister Trotzky. Important political and military leaders are said to be conferring busily to find the best solution to the puzzle. All German newspapers note the fact that three hours after a message was sent out announcing the issuance of a demobolization order to the Russian army, another Russian message was issued ordering that circulation of this communication be stopped. It is suggested that this indicates that the Bolshevik government no longer thinks of adhering to the declaration of Foreign Minister Trotzky. The Zeitung and Mittag goes so far as to say that there are proofs that Trotzky's promise of a Russian demobolization is a sham maneuver. It declares that reliable reports represent the Bolshevik as energetically forming a Red Guard army out of the remnants of the Russian army, in the hope of raising 1,000,000 men to establish Bolshevik power in the border states. The line of demarcation along the eastern front must be maintained, in consequence of the Russians' refusal to sign a peace treaty, a Vienna dispatch to the Lokul Anzeiger of Berlin says. Turkish troops will take possession of all Turkish territory which hitherto has been occupied by Russians. Zurich—Resignation of the Polish cabinet, because of dissatisfaction with the terms of the separate peace between Ukraine and the central powers, was officially announced in Warsaw dispatches. Stockholm—Russian soldiers are reported to be committing shocking acts of terrorism on the Aland islands. In consequence of a statement that Swedish residents have fled to outlying islands a Swedish ice breaker will start immediately for the islands. It will be followed by rescue expeditions. London—An important debate will begin in the German reichstag Feb. 21, according to a wireless dispatch from Amsterdam. Chancellor von Hertling will discuss the treaty with the Ukraine and will reply to President Wilson, Premier Lloyd George and Premier Orlando. Billion-Dollar Deficiency Bill. Washington.—A billion-dollar urgent deficiency appropriation bill, the largest of its kind in the history of Congress, although cut a half billion from the original estimates, was favorably reported to the House by Chairman Sherley of the appropriations committee. The bill provides for the immediate needs of the War, Navy and other departments. 41 Bodies Taken From Nunnery Fire. 41 Bodies Taken From Nunnery Fire Montreal, Feb. 15.—The charred bodies of forty-one children, many of them only a few days or few weeks old, have been recovered' from the ruins of the Grey nunnery, which was destroyed by fire. It is feared many more perished, and the toll of death may reach 100. All the inmates except the children are believed to have escaped. They included nuns, nursing sisters, wounded or sick soldiers from over sea, aged, sick or crippled men and women to the number of almost 1,000. Bolo Pasha Given Death Penalty. Paris.—Bolo Pasha, spy for Germany, was sentenced to death by a court-martial which deliberated on the case for only fifteen minutes. Darius Porchere, an accountant who was a codedefendant, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. Filippo Cavalinie, another co-defendant, who is under arrest in Italy, was sentenced to death, although he is not within the court's jurisdiction. New Draft Quota for Funston. Washington.—Movements of men to complete the first draft beginning on Feb. 23 will not be completed as originally planned, but will extend into March. A movement not included in previous announcements will begin March 4, moving 10,077 men to Fort Oglethorpe and Camp Funston. The states sending men to Fort Riley, all the remaining whites in their quotas, are: Arizona, 490; Colorado, 656; Missouri, 1,331; Nebraska, 1,330; New Mexico, 330; South Dakota, 399.

Kind of Matter What Can We Do? Patterns of refugee garments for women are now ready and are known as official American Red Cross patterns, numbering from 151 to 158 inclusive. Making these garments is a work that every woman ought to do with a sense of gratitude that she is thus able to contribute something to the bodily and spiritual comfort of the women who have been caught in the maelstrom of war. Their case is pitiful. They have been driven from their homes and are dependent upon charity for the bare necessities of life. It is inspiring to know that the women are responding to calls for needed garments and comforts for fighting men with untiring enthusiasm. Knitting has become the habit with many, and they are providing the sox, sweaters, wristlets, ear-warmers and helmets that the men use, in great numbers. Some of them devote their time to making just one sort of garment. A lady of Coldwater, Mich., who is eighty-two years old, is sending us beautiful sox which she knits at the rate of one a day. This is a fine contribution to Red Cross work. Another old lady makes only comfort kits, and is now well on toward the three hundredth kit. But most women really like to vary the work they do; those who knit undertaking Fads And Of Fash Fads And Fancies Of Fashion THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIES It is a tie between evening gowns and negligees when we make comparisons and draw conclusions as to the most fascinating things that women wear. The negligee may adopt any style it will be, of any gay color it likes, follow no set fashion, for it is one garment at least in which any woman may indulge her fancy—if it is whimsical so much the better. It is for the eyes of her household and she may do as she likes with it. has a fashion of its own peries which are so graz are of light pink georg finished in points weh and silver ornaments. Beginning with an u and finishing with a co a mantel of crepe georg woman may fashion a to her own style and fi apt to finish it without row ribbons into the The lovely negligee which has a representation to many eyes here must have been inspired by a simple classic robe and elaborated with lace and floating draperies of crepe. It is of pale pink satin, with a wide border of heavy lace about the bottom of the satin slip. There is a short bodice with band of lace across the bust. The skirt portion of the slip appears to be laid in narrow plaits across the front. The satin slip with picot edge at the bottom makes a brilliant foundation for soft draperies of crepe georgette. As to the intricacies of their hanging, that is something not at all easy to tell about.

King, superintendent of the department of knitting and comforts for fighting men, in the Central division, which includes the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Illinois and Iowa, reports that 10,723 articles was the remarkable record of one day's inspection and packing of knitted goods from the state of Illinois alone, exclusive of the Chicago chapter, on January 17th. Mrs. John Glass, superintendent of the department of surgical dressings, has received a letter from the associate director of bureau of development, national headquarters, in regard to the remarkable output of the drive for surgical dressings: "The response to our appeal from all over the country has been very inspiring, and the Central division has had no small part in enabling us to take care of the special request we received from France. I hope that you will express to all those concerned our great appreciation of the work they have done." Julia Bottomley Fancies ion has a fashion of its own. These draperies which are so gracefully pictured are of light pink georgette. They are finished in points weighted with silk and silver ornaments and balls. Beginning with an underslip of satin and finishing with a coattee of lace, or a mantel of crepe georgette, almost any woman may fashion a negligee suited to her own style and figure. She is not apt to finish it without bringing narrow ribbons into the play of lovely materials and she will not wear it without slippers that are dainty enough to rank in the same class as the negligee. Julia Bottomly Feminine Frills. The coat tunic is a novelty. Many wraps are in cape style. Tapestry shopping bags are new. Satin coats are heavily embroidered. Fluted ribbons are used for trimming.
