LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY ARMSTRONG AND WORLD FREEDOM BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT. (President of Hampton's Board of Trustees.) VOL. XXIV. ARMSTRONG WORLD BY WILLIAM I. (President of Hampton Continued From Last Week E FIND ourselves now in war, arrayed with the democracies of the world against the autocracies—against one autocracy, and that is Germany. The rest are merely "and company," merely "me, too." Germany is our enemy, and as we understand Germany, as we understand the psychological condition and status of Germany, we understand the war, and we do not understand it otherwise. We find that the cause which carried us into the war, righteous as it was, is only one phase of the greater cause of the great World War that we are now engaged in. It comes from the insane obsession of the German people, led by a Hohenzollern and the Prussian military regime, that they are carrying out God's purpose in a world domination for the improvement of civilization by the spread of kultur by force. And you cannot know the danger to the civilization of the world, to the family of nations, of this condition of mind (deceased as it is) of the German people, unless you study their history. They are an intellectual people; they are a home-loving people; they are a music- and poetry-loving people; they are a people of great keenness, great tenacity of purpose, lacking in humor and so lacking in a sense of proportion; and when we knew them years ago, we liked them. They were genial and kindly to animals. We do not hate the Germans. It is not our business to hate them. We will not hate them after the war is over; but what we hate is their purpose, their present condition of mind, and unless we change that, the world is to suffer in the future from a constantly recurring system of war, entered upon to gratify the ambitions of the Hohenzollerns and the insane purpose of the German people to follow what they regard as their God-given destiny to subordinate the world to their will in the acceptance of kultur and their method of instructing in it. In the early part of the nineteenth century they were twenty-eight different states—Austria at the head, Prussia next, and twenty-six other states. The other states were kingdoms and dukedoms and electorates, under the rule of kinglets, dukelets and electors—little despots governing by the divine right of kings! Then they had a revolution in 1848 by liberty-loving Germans, who did not succeed and were driven out and came to this country and made a valuable part of our citizenship. Their blood in the Civil War was found on every battlefield, where they struggled, as they thought and believed, for liberty and the suppression of slavery. Their descendants have made valuable citizens with us. The people they left behind went under a different environment and different education. Bismarck came into their lives and planned the unity of Germany, not by constitutional monarchy and the institution of civil liberty, but by blood and iron; and --- he carried it through. He organized the Prussian army with the tradition of drill and effectiveness derived from the time of Frederick the Great and his father. He added to that and strengthened it, and then he began his plan. I am not telling you anything that is merely inference from what he did. I am telling you what he says himself. He carried on three wars—wars in which he so arranged it that they were all wars of aggression against Germany. He took from Denmark Schleswig-Holstein and annexed it to Prussia. He wiped Austria off the map of Germany, and took Hanover and Hesse Cassel and Frankfort and united the southern German states to him by an offensive and defensive alliance, and then he waited until Napoleon should declare war against him. He prepared for the war and then led Napoleon on to declare it. Then he defeated France and he took Alsace Lorraine and an indemnity of $1,000,000,000, which he put into the army. He crowned his king German emperor. He went back to Berlin and sat down and digested in peace the bits of territory which he had chewed off from the rest of Europe. This turned the heads of the German people. Such an unusual series of military successes put them in a state of exaltation that was unsafe for them and unsafe for the world. They said: "We have done this by the application of scientific principle to the art of war. We will apply this to the arts of peace." They went into manufacturing, into agriculture, into the field of business, and they achieved a wonderful success. They did it under Bismarck and they did it under William. They accumulated wealth. They increased their prosperity. They increased their population. They looked at themselves with perfect satisfaction and with a self-adoration that led to their obsession. Looking back over their success, they could not reconcile themselves to their existence except by close association with God. So they proceeded to assume that they were the chosen people of God; that God looked upon their work with satisfaction and upon them as agents to carry this work to the other nations; and as it had been won by force—military force—they created the German state into an instrument of God, and, acting for God, they easily reached the conclusion that there was no consideration that could be yielded to in the progress of that state. Thus they abolished morality for the state. They laid down the rule: "There is no international morality." Decency, humanity, respect for the obligation of treaties—all disappeared when the interests and the progress of the state were concerned. And that is our enemy—as dangerous to the family of nations as a mad dog is in a domestic family, waiting only the opportunity to strike when success may follow the stroke. You ask proof. Read literature. You ask why we did not know it before. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 23 1918 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House able Negro Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA We assumed they were extremists. We have them among ourselves—I do not name them. We do not want to be held responsible for them. But these were not extremists. They spoke the word that had sunk to the hearts of the people. The principles were taught in the primary schools, in the academies, and from the lecture platforms of the universities. Their lecturers, their great leaders in philosophy taught them. In their sermons you saw it crop out here and there. Read the sermons—one addressed to a "German God"; another a prayer to "Him who presides in the Heaven above the seraphim and the cherubim and the Zeppelins." The association of the seraphim and the cherubim with the Zeppelins is incongruous and irreverent to us, but to the German mind seems all right, for the reason that all are agencies of the Diety, and the Zeppelins are carrying out the God-given purpose and policy of culture by dropping explosives on East London, numbering among their victims the school children and the old men and old women of that city. It is shocking, my friends, it is shocking when you think of the change that has come about through this horrible, hideous philosophy into which the Germans have led themselves. If you wish proof in addition, read what the Kaiser says. He is always associating himself with God in a personal way: "Forward with God!" He says that God "is with us unconditionally, with avowed support." "Unconditionally"—that is, "without regard to what we have done. The purpose, the end, the destiny is what we must look to, not the means." He claims an intimate association with God and communications denied to other people. Now, that is a condition of a perverted mental state; but it is a condition so dangerous that we cannot allow it to continue in this world when it is backed up by the application of the highest scientific principles to the destruction of men. I cannot take time to point out how completely responsible Germany is for this war and its character, but when you meet those who have been at the front and who have come back (as I did the other day) and hear from them the horrible nature of this war, its mechanical, physical brutality, its desire to destroy men, and when you look back upon our Civil War—that was bloody, lives were lost, but there was a chivalry, there was a kindness between the sides, there were obligations even in war that were kept, there was a glamour about it, courage, bravery and chivalry, reflecting on the natural gentleness of the people engaged—when you compare these two wars you realize that today in Europe, under the influence of this cruel German philosophy, it is blood and destruction of the most brutal character—anything, anything for military advance and military success. That presents the problem to us. Our Allies have been fighting this monster for three years. They are nearly exhausted, and we are praying and should be praying that they may hold out until we can get there with our forces so as to predominate in man power and win this world war for righteousness and forever stamp out this horrible philosophy, this crass materialism, this brutal murder of the human race which Germany makes the object of her government, in order that, through the blood of other men, she may march on to control the world. Therefore it is that you, my boys, have before you an opportunity to show the value of these equalities of opportunity. Show that you are not only citizens of the United States, but citizens of the world. Do not allow yourselves to be misled by the thought that peace is near. All these dealings of Germany with the Bolsheviki amount to nothing except a moving around on the chessboard for the advantage of Germany, so that she may acquire control of Russia and her supplies. It is enough to make one first laugh and then cry to note the dealings of Trotzky and representatives of the Bolsheviki with the armed leaders of Germany for a peace—a peace of the world—a peace of the world's workers, as Trotzky says. There is an old maxim that "he who dines with the devil must have a long spoon"—but the Bolsheviki spoon has no handle at all! Now, my boys, think of General Armstrong. He led a colored regiment in the war for your race. Would he be a pacifist in these days? Would he fall to see clearly what is before us now? We should thank God that we are in the battle now, rather than waiting until these European countries, fighting our battle, have been defeated by this monster of militarism, so that we should have to measure swords with it alone. Do not listen to arguments of pacifism; do not allow suggestions that are mere camouflage about coming peace. We can have no peace until we whip Germany, until we produce in the minds of the Germans a conviction that the policy they have followed is all in vain; that it comes from the devil and not from God; and then they will attend to the form of government that they ought to have. They will become an amenable and human member of the society of nations again, and they will relegate the Kaiser and the rest of the "Potsdam gang" to the place where they ought to go. There are nearly two hundred Hampto. students and graduate already in the war. I hope there may be many others. Do no give up your education until you are called. Do not think it necessary for you to rush in until you have finished, until you are called, because you will be better men and better officers when you are called. But be ready. Do not look forward to a speedy end of the war, but grit your teeth. Make yourself feel that you cannot offer up your lives in a higher cause than this; not even the War of the Revolution nor the War of the Rebellion offered greater reason for sacrifice than this. Now, God bless you, boys, and go on with the Hampton spirit, for that is the spirit that will carry you to the victory we must have if the human race is to live in Christian civilization. (Southern Workman.) Philadelphia. Pa.—Of the 1,275 men taken on at the Hog Island ship yard, the largest ship yard in the world, last week, 475 were colored men who are employed in all capacities.

Charles Holmes wrote football history in the Rocky Mountain conference three years ago as the first Negro athlete to achieve prominence in moleskins. Now he has won even greater prominence as the first Western colored man to wear an officer's shoulder bars.

He was extremely popular at college and, besides his football career, he earned his "C" in track. the N. A. A. C. P. were asked to state the case for the Committee. Mr. Jones said in part; "The colored people of New York feel that there is a prejudice against Negroes being admitted as internes in Bellevue Hospital. We would like to convey to them from you a message that would alter this impression. We want to know if color is a determining factor in your selection of internes. If our young students of medicine felt that they would be admitted on a basis of merit rather than color we Ivey Cleveland Negro 12th company Third battalion, 165th depot brigade Camp Travis, is going back to the Brazos bottom where shoes are not essential. He will take with him a honorable discharge, as he has the biggest feet of any man who ever trod the parade ground at Camp Travis. He arrived at the camp wearing a pair of No. 14 brogans which were too small. By and by Cleveland's No 14's began to wear out. and army officers tried to find a shoe to fit him. They tried a pair of No. 12, double E. shoes but Cleveland could not begin to get his feet into them. Rather than go to the expense of having shoes made at cost of $15 or $20 Private Ivey was given his honorable discharge. BELLEVUE OP EN TO NE GRO INTERNES BELLEVUE TRUSTEES ASSERT THAT NO DISCRIMINATION WILL BE PRACTICED WHEN NEGROES APPLY. On Tuesday. March 5, at 4 o'clock a conference was held in the office of the Bellevue Board of Trustees, First Avenue and 26th Street, between a Committee interested in the question of securing the appointment of Negro internes of the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. Mr. Eugene K. Wood, Executive of the Nationional Urban League briefly outlined the purpose of the conference stating that the Committee wished to get some expression from the trustees of these hospitals on the question of admitting qualified Negroes to their interne staff. Mr. Jones and Mr. James Weldon Johnson, Field Secretary of NO 22 the N. A. A. C. P. were asked to state the case for the Committee. Mr. Jones said in part; "The colored people of New York feel that there is a prejudice against Negroes being admitted as internes in Bellevue Hospital. We would like to convey to them from you a message that would alter this impression. We want to know if color is a determining factor in your selection of internes. If our young students of medicine felt that they would be admitted on a basis of merit rather than color, we are certain that more of them would apply for the examinations based upon which appointments are made." Mr. Johnson corroborated generally what Mr. Jones had said, and in addition he asked if any law had been passed or is now contemplated to require at least one year internship on the part of physicians before they might practice in the State of New York. It was definitely stated by the trustees that no such law had been passed, and so far as known none is contemplated. Mr. Samuel Sachs said that the colored people of New York City should be told that any Negro applying for appointment as interne at these hospitals would be judged solely on ability and merit, and that investigation of any claims to the contrary would be welcomed. Request was also made by the Bellevue authorities that a list of Negroes now studying in the New York medical colleges be secured and referred to them, that they might be at any moment conversant with conditions examined. The attitude expressed was to the effect that ability and merit are the sole qualifications for the candidates, and that qualified young Negro doctors may look forward to a hopeful future with respect to becoming members of the interne staff of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals.

The Spanish and Swiss ambassadors at Berlin have been directed by the German foreign office to notify the American government that Germany will proceed with measures against American property in Germany in the same proportion that action is taken against German property in the United States, Reuter's Amsterdam correspondent reports. Ratification of the peace pact by a vote of 704 to 261 at Moscow was a typical "oatm roller" process.

Germany is charged in official dispatches from France with having attempted to force Sweden to become a participant in the Brest-Livotsk conferences for a settlement of questions affecting the Baltic.

MANY MECHANICS ARE NEEDED Ten Thousand Skilled Men Wanted for Service in the Aviation Section of the Signal Corps—New Kind of ‘Bullets. ‘Bullets. Washington. —The federal farm Joan board has issued the following rules for the guidance of the land banks in determining what area con- stitutes a farm for loaning purposes: “First, Generally—The farm must be of sufficient area to yield at the hands of an ordinarily capable farmer, put- ting it to the use to which it Is gen- erally adapted and using average meth- ods, an Income sufficient to maintain the family of the applicant and dis- charge the interest and amortization payments, “Second, Specially.—Where through intensive farming or the practice of a specialty a sufficient income has been regularly derived from a tract de- ficient in area for ordinary farming, or where the application of the pros- pective borrower shows that he is by experience capable of producing such an income from such a tract, such area may be accepted as sufficient, provid- ed the land has a stable and perma- nent market value sufficient to warrant the loan applied for. This ruling does not apply to fruit and orchard lands which have already been the subjects of definite rulings by this board.” Under the first paragraph of this rul- ing loans may be made to the ordinary farmer on the basis of average skill and efficiency, and no tract of land will be accepted as a form eligible for a loan under the federal farm loan act unless it {s large enough to support the family and take care of the loan under the average farm conditions of the neighborhood. But under the second paragraph of the ruling the intensive farmer or the man who practices a profitable spectal- ty, or who shows himstif able to do 60, will be given financial support by the federal loan system, even though his farm may be too small for ordinary farming purposes, provided that the land quite apart from its use has a stable and perpanent land value which will make the loan safe whether It 1s well operated, or badly operated, or not operated at all. Qualified men registered under the selective service law may be Inducted into service to fill the call for 10,000 skilled mechanics needed by the avia- tion section of the signal corps, by applying to their local boards. Men not registered may enlist at recruit- Ing stations. : ‘The present call {s particularly for machinists, auto mechantes, engine re- palrmen, gunsmiths, chauffeurs, car- penters, blacksmiths, tinsmithts, sheet- metal workers, propeller makers, wireless operators and constructors, tailors, tent-makers, sall-makers, truck masters, vulcanizers, welders, and ex- perts on magnetos, ignition systems, cameras, watches, and clocks. Men will be sent to San Antonio, ‘Tex., for segregation by trades, fol- lowed by a brief course of instruction at flying flelds or factories, then or- ganized into squadrons mostly for service oversens, Additional informa- tion may be secured by application to. the alr division, personnel department, Washington, D. C. The present war has brought forth ‘a new kind of ammunition for airplane use In the form of special cartridges containing bullets for armor-plercing, tracing, and {ncendiary purposes. All of these cartridges are of the small rifle calibers, according to a statement authorized by the war department. ‘The three-tenths of an Inch diameter and short length of the bullet left Mt- tle space for the armor-plercing ele ment or for tracer and Incendiary com- position, but such combinations have been made. ‘The bullets developed by the United States ordnance department have been tested on land and from airplanes to see If there Is any difference in thelr performance when fired from a quick- ly moving airplane in the upper atmos- phere and when fired on land. ‘These tests Indicate that the United States has developed a class of special cartridges with a performance fully equal to or surpassing that attained abroad. More than 1,600 tons of anthracite coal were condemned in Pennsylvania markets by representatives of the fuel administration recently in the cam- Paign to compel the delivery of clean coal Following the plan adopted for Cal- {fornia and Colorado, the food admin- istration has appointed a commission to determine the cost of producing Sugar beets in- Nebraska.

C, The Spartans sat- urated wood with pitch and sulphur and burned It under the walls of cities which they were attacking, For sev- eral centuries gas has not been used in warfare, and The Hague convention definitely ruled aguinst it, However, on April 22, 1915, the Germans lber- ated great clouds of gas against Cana- dian troops near Ypres. ‘Terrible de- struction and demoralization resulted from this first gas attack, and within ® week England was making plans for gas warfare against the Germans. Soon after the first German gas at- tack Engilsh and French women sent to the front hundreds of thousands of home-made gas masks. For the most part they were merely bandages {m- Dregnated with chemicals to wrap around the mouth and nose, ‘These emergency masks saved many lives, but afforded only Mmited protection. Commenting on the decision to regu- late the consumption of bread in Paris by means of tickets, reference Is made by some of the Paris newspapers to the success of the bread card in Switz- erland, where the bread has been ra- tioned for several months, resulting in an economy of 45 per cent of the amount consumed previously. ‘The average amount allotted per person per day is 250 grams (which will soon be reduced to 200 grams). Each individual card contains a cer- tain number of coupons for 250, 100, 50 and 25 grams of bread, amounting In all to the total monthly allotment. ‘These coupons may be used whenever the holder desires, elther at the bak- er’s or at a restaurant; in fact, guests In private families are expected to de- tach from their individual bread cards the coupons equivalent to the amount of bread consumed. More than $11,000,000,000 of war- risk insurance has so far been written, covering over 1,500,000 persons in the military and naval services. ‘The aver- age amount of insurance applied for {s nearly $9,000. ‘The maximum permtt- ted 1s $10,000, ind the minimum $1,- 000. Final figureg show the United States army, both here and abroad, is well over 90 per cent insured. In many camps 99 per cent of the personnel 1s protected by government insurance. ‘The insurance now on the books of the bureau {s more than three times as great as the ordinary insurance held by the largest commercial company in the world. All new persons Joining the service may apply for insurance within 120 days ofter Joining the colors. Auto- matic insurance ceased for all men, regardless of enlistment date, on Feb- ruary 12. An ordnance base that will cost ap- proximately $25,000,000 1s under con- struction in France. It will include a gun-repair plant equipped to reline more than 800 guns a month; a large- capacity carriage repair plant; a motor-vehicle repair plant capable of overhauling more than 1,200 vehicles a month; a small-arms repair plant to handle 58,000 rifles and machine guns a month; a large shop for the repair of horse and infantry equipment; a reloading plant capable of reloading about 100,000 artillery cartridges a day. ‘The ordnance base will include 20 large storehouses, 12 shop buildings, 100 smaller shops and magazines, and machine and tool equipment costing $5,000,000. Approximately 450 officers and 16,000 men will be required for maintenance.

They included Edward F. Trefz, noted publicist and one of the six commissioners sent to study conditions in France; Mrs. Beatrice Forbes-Robertson Hale, noted lecturer on national topics, and Dr. Alexander Cairns, famed Chautauqua lecturer, These speakers delivered a practical, dramatic and educational mossage on war needs and the neces- sity for food conservation to 28,275 peo- ple at thirty-four meetings throughout the state. With one or two excep- tions the speaking places were crowd- ed and hundreds were turned away.

Forty-one Miflion Pounds Contracted for by Government. | 0. H. Liebers, head of the Pinto Bean Division, U. S, Food Adminis- tration, has contracted forty-one mil- lion pounds of beans from growers in Colorado, New Mexico and adjoining states. This amount is considered to be at least 80 per cent of total amount available. Contracts are coming in daily from growers and all indica- tions are that the division will get at least 95 per cent of the 1917 crop of Pinto beans still unsold. One million pounds of extra choice seed has been stored at the following points: Denver, Greeley, Trinidad, Clayton, New Mexico and Albu- querque, New Mexico, This seed will be sold to growers at the $8.80 price plus local freight, cost of storage, in- surance and other incidental ex- penses. The price should not exceed $9.15 per cwt. For this, the grower is getting an unusual quality of dry land Pinto beans, recleaned and well sacked. Last week the Food Administration had orders for immediate shipment as follows: 50 cars to Boston, 50 cars to New York City, 50 cars to Philadel- phia and 50 cars to Chicago, These shipments will average 80,000 pounds per car, The Food Administration expects to keep moving these beans as fast as they can get equipment and orders for them from the eastern mar- kets. It should be noted that this is the first time that Pinto beans have been shipped to these eastern con- suming centers. After the Food Ad- ministration gets through placing this year’s crop on the market, the east will be as familiar with the Pinto bean as it is with the Navy, This should practically solve all future troubles in getting a satisfactory mar- ket for Pinto beans. COLORADO MAKES FINE RECORD. ‘The following statement has been sent by the National Food Adminis- tration at Washington, to state hotel chairmen throughout the country: “In the State of Colorado, where the Hotel Division is thoroughly or- ganized, and where reports are made up each month and sent to the Hotel Division of the Food Administration, the savings in meats during the month of February show an increase of about 57 per cent over the January savings» wheat flour savings show an increase of more than 75 per cent, and sugar more than 28 per cent. “Is your State doing as well as Col- orado 4 “If {t is, we know it and congratu- late you. “If it isn't, Why?” FOOD EXPOSITION IN DENVER.

AT last our country has awakened to the fact that "the man behind the man behind the gun" is the farmer, and we are perfectly in accord with the government's move in the registration of unemployed boys between 16 and 21 to assist in farm and orchard work during the summer. In Colorado about 10,000 boys will be needed, and the public schools in Denver and other cities, closing about June 1, will afford pupils a good opportunity to put in more time. Good wages will be paid, and the period of service will be so regulated as not to result in any physical impairment. With this help the nation's cause in the world war will be greatly strengthened, and enough will be found to feed our men, our associates, and ourselves whether this event be of short or long duration. Our boys should register early and prepare themselves for this duty which is honorable and highly commendable. HOMER L. FERGUSON DEFENDS AND STRENGTHENS NEGRO CAUSE. N Collier's National Weekly Magazine for March 16, in an article, "A Shipbuilder On the Job," Homer L. Ferguson, head of the great shipbuilding yards at Newport News, Virginia, bears testimony to the qualities and achievements of the Negro race and hits squarely from the shoulder when he proves from his experience of daily contact with a large number of workmen—mechanics. America can justly be proud of these, her citizens, who, after years of struggle and toil are proving themselves wonderful in the acquisition of the arts, sciences, trades, etc., that make for the progress of a country and the uplift of a nation. The article states "that fully one-half of the 7,800 men who work under Mr. Ferguson in the Newport News shipyard are black-skinned. White men and black men work not only in the same yard, but in the same buildings. And this is the South—the Old Dominion, if you please. On a huge traveling crane that runs the length of the yard's biggest erecting shop, a white man operates the motors; a negro minds the grips. In the yard outside on a huge ship coming into being, white and black painters work upon the upper and under surfaces of the same deck." The foregoing are facts which we can attest, as visiting the yards on several occasions, inspiration and encouragement were given us when we witnessed, that gradually the door of opportunity is being opened and a recognition of the worth and ability of our people is exhibiting itself in such a manner. "Don't you dare come down from the North to this yard and tell us that the black man in the South is an industrial failure—you who only use him as an elevator boy or a parlor-car porter, or a chauffeur and refuse to give him an equal industrial opportunity with WHITE labor. How long would one of our expert machinists last at Taunton or at Paterson or at Schenectady? What opportunity would the unions give him? Can one of our good riveters go North and join the union? He cannot. And otherwise he cannot drive a single rivet." This man Ferguson in asserting with so much emphasis the distinct features in the employment of the race in the above statement, might bring upon himself the scathing denunciations and criticisms of the average Northern gentleman were these not plain and unmistakable truths. A visit to the Cramps shipyards, the Baldwin Locomotive works and many other large plants in Philadelphia—"The city of Brotherly Love"—proves without a doubt the correctness of this statement. That these facts are in themselves a cause for hope; that such expressions from business heads of corporations like Homer Ferguson find a sequel in the Rev. Robert B. Bell of St. Thomas' Episcopal church, Denver (white), when in addressing a congregation recently, did not indulge in the usual "camouflage sympathy" for us, but who, speaking fearlessly of the greatness and the great possibilities among us, bade us not to be discouraged, and paying a beautiful compliment to our late American genius, Booker T. Washington, in classifying him as one of the greatest Americans that ever lived, and a teacher, leader and nation-builder, also making special reference to our great composer-musician Harry Burleigh, our late Paul Laurence Dunbar a great exponent of the poetic art, the eminent divine declared that the spirit of his democracy consists of a recognition of all races in the common fraternity of human brotherhood and the supporting of every effort that is an evidence of the true value of a people to a community, to a nation that BLIND PREJUDICE seeks to obstruct, undermine and destroy. The Venerable Archdeacon Henry L. Phillips, one of our leaders, in an address in Philadelphia at a recent meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urged his hearers NOT TO BE ASHAMED OF THEIR RACE, impressed on them the necessity of reading literary works written by our men and women, giving us the true information of the status of our race which, in spite of handicaps, is making greater progress than any other people on the face of the earth. These encouraging expressions from the men we quote, form, as we say, the sequel to Homer Ferguson's defense of our people and his belief in granting fair play to us under any circumstances where merit counts, and should establish in the minds of other honest and real American citizens who are fortunate to hold such positions, the spirit to demonstrate REAL DEMOCRACY AND GOOD WILL TO ALL MEN that is preached so often, but is more the exception than the rule as far as WE are concerned.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The fine spring weather suggests baseball to the average "Y" man. Our boys are no exception to this rule, and accordingly some of them are asking who the leader will be. Their minds naturally turn towards him who so successfully coached the football team last fall, and he will doubtless be called into service very soon. There was a fair attendance at the efficiency program last Sunday afternoon. Much to the regret of those present, the majority of the speakers failed to appear. But they greatly enjoyed the addresses of Mr. B. C. Curtis who has been chef at the Hotel Shirley for 27 years, and of Mr. Webster who has been in his one position 22 years. Mr. Curtis said that in order to hold a position successfully one must, first of all, be a good time maker. He must not be late. He must also be honest, polite, sober and gentlemanly in his deportment. Mr. Coleman of the Denver Star was also present and made some very helpful remarks. The social work committee met Tuesday evening. A program of receptions was marked out, and work will begin on this program at once. Next Sunday afternoon a Palm Sunday service will be held. The Rev. W. E. Bell, pastor of the University Park M. E. church, will deliver the address. The program will begin promptly at four o'clock. All will be welcome. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN.

Pope passed through the city Tuesday on his way to Casper, Wyo. J. C. Gaskin, United States mail carrier out of Cheyenne, rented one of his cars to a couple of white gentlemen to make a trip to Denver, Colo. The men loaded up with whiskey, and started out for Denver. Coming near to Greeley, Colo., the men ran into the state authorities, which gave them a long race through the plains and across ditches and over fences, for some two or three hours; but were captured and taken, together with their whiskey, to Greeley. Mr. Gaskin, after learning where his car was, and what had happened, accompanied by Rev. N. H. Jeltz, pastor of the A. M.

TEENIE JOHNSON, MOTHER OF PUGILIST DIES IN CHICAGO Chicago, March 18.—Mrs. Tennie Johnson, mother of Jack Johnson, former champion pugilist, died last night. For a brief time in the heyday of the career of her son she knew prosperity and notoriety, but the curious who gazed at the house at 3444 Wabash avenue today saw the mute testimony of fallen grandeur—a sign reading, "Boarders Wanted." When Jack became champion and money rolled in upon him he bought the Wabash avenue house and presented it to his mother. He bought her gowns and jewels and an automobile, and employed a chauffeur to drive it. Then came the champion's conviction of violating the Mann act, his flight and the forfeiture of the heavy bonds under which he was at liberty. The automobile went; the house was mortgaged, and then came the last resort of humbled womankind—"boarders wanted." Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Johnson is said to be in Barcelona, Spain, where he has, according to friends, become a bull fighter. Owing to his conviction he dare not return to the United States. Mrs. Johnson was 74 years of age. CHURCH OF THE HOLY REDEEMER. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Twenty-Second Ave. and Humboldt Street—Rev. H. B.

The Annual Celebration of the Ernest Holloway, the bright and interesting little-son of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Holloway of 2557 Glenarm place, has been sick for a few days. We wish him a speedy restoration to health. Mrs. Myrtle Rucker left the city last Wednesday for Kansas City, Mo., after a very pleasant stay with her brother, Tom Williams, and his family. She was the attraction for many entertainments in her honor and met quite a few friends.

Refreshments were served free and everybody had a good time. Don't forget the next grand event by this popular club will be their Easter reception and dance at Fern Hall, Wednesday, April 3rd. Dr. S. A. Huff, believing that everything that can be done to expedite in responding to the call of patients and relief of sufferers should be done, has purchased a fine self-starting Buick car.

The "go ahead" action and pushing qualities of this medico proves what it takes to make a thoroughbred. Having been privileged to ride with the doctor on one occasion we can verify the statement that he has a means of conveyance that will assist him materially in his practice and we wish him every success in this advantage. MAJOR WILLIAM COOKE DANIELS RESPONDS TO "THE LAST CALL." WILLIAM COOKE DANIELS, president of the Daniels and Fisher Stores Company, responded to the "last call" Monday, 18th inst., at Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, South America, news of his death coming in a telegram to Charles MacAllister Wilcox, vice president and general manager of the firm. Intermittent fever was the immediate cause of death. Born in Denver in 1870, Major Daniels was endeared to this city and in all his travels had the warmest spot in his heart for this city of the West. He is spoken of as merchant, soldier, author, explorer and traveler, each position of which he filled with credit to himself, state and nation. He gained his title of Major in Cuba during the Spanish-American war, serving with distinction under General Lawton. He was a friend to the Negro, always offering employment to him and endeavoring to help him in achieving the most and the best he could. Major Daniels was beloved and respected by the people and his death will be greatly felt by the vast number of friends and acquaintances who knew him. THE COLORADO STATESMAN extends its sincere sympathy to Mrs. Daniels in this sad hour. The body of the deceased will be brought to Denver in accordance with his request. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ANNUAL CELEBRATION. The Annual Celebration of the Knights of Pythias Fraternal Order will take place tomorrow at the Central Baptist Church, Twenty-fourth and California streets at 2 p. m. The committee of arrangements has worked hard to make this event eclipse all others and specially request that members of Damon No. 5, Pythias No. 11 and Smith No. 15 report promptly at 12 o'clock at the Castle Hall, Twenty-Sixth and Washington streets, and thence in procession to the church. A splendid program with local talent participating will be an attraction in itself, and one of the best events in the life of Pythianism is anticipated. OUR STORES AND EASTER TRADE. THE special attractions of our stores for Easter create a profound impression that in the midst of strife and turmoil there must be something to modify the anxieties and alleviate the fears that seem to now encompass our whole being, and so the time is opportune to remind Easter traders of the latest and newest creations, fashionable designs and up-to-date goods in every department of our stores that have with unceasing regularity presented at this season the best there is in stock for the purchaser's choice. The bargains are of the kind that will meet the ordinary pocketbook and, therefore, it is only a matter of getting in first or earliest and insure the best on exhibition. In this and next issue of paper will appear display advertisements which will offer to the people of Denver another opportunity to become the possessors of the best on the market at moderate prices. Spend a little time shopping and be well repaid for the attempt. LINCOLN CLUB This club is growing, and according to President Munroe, its membership must reach the 1,000 mark by April 1.

Quite a large number was present and after suggestions on the progress of the club were entertained the meeting adjourned to April 1. DEATHS AND FUNERALS; CAM- MEL & CO. IN CHARGE.

GOAL FOR 1918 CANNERS—1,500.000.000 QUARTS! JARS Wash Boiler With False Bottom Makes a Home Canner Which a Girl Can Operate. GET READY FOR BIG FALL PACK Specialists Advise Ordering Equipment Early and See That Cans Are Ready. EXAMINE ALL USEABLE JARS Putting Up Food at Home Saves Transportation Later—Last Year's Pack Estimated at 850,000,000 —Goal Set for 1918. One billion five hundred million quarts of home-canned produce in 1918! A goal has been set for the 1918 home canners. The stupendous size of it might make it appear impossible of attainment were it not for the fact that the American family's ability to can, in a patriotic situation, has been demonstrated. The great canning effort for the year 1917 has been estimated at 850,000,000 packs by officials of the United States department of agriculture. But there are still thousands of unfilled jars in every township of the United States, the specialists say, in setting the new goal and advising early preparations for the 1918 campaign. If a slogan is needed, "Fill every jar in every home, keep every jar busy throughout the year," is suggested. Pack for Last Year. The method of arriving at the estimated countrywide pack for last year is interesting. Eight of the principal concerns in the United States manufacturing rubber jar rings reported a production for use in home canning of 836,761,248 rubber rings. Retailers and jobbers, it is understood, carried over from the year 1916 a large supply of rubber jar rings. Taking into account the special caps that were sold and the use of jar rings a second time, the officials believe it is safe to estimate the number of packs made in homes last year at 850,000,000. Quart Jar for Canning. Canning in most homes is done in quart jars. It is reasonable to assume that the two-quart packs may be used to offset the pint packs, specialists say, and that therefore the total pack estimated might safely be expressed in quarts. Placing a general average value of 20 rents a quart upon this product, the estimated value of hermetically sealed food canned in homes is $170,000,000. In most cases this food was produced on the farm or in the backyard garden, was canned in the family kitchen, stored in the pantry, and is being consumed in the home. The transportation facilities of the country were not taxed in the production of this food and in most cases it was produced on soil that otherwise would have been idle, with labor that would have been unable to find useful employment. Careful About Salt. The bureau of chemistry, united States department of agriculture, warns consumers against buying salt from peddlers or other persons whose reliability is not established. Salt recently offered by a peddler in Washington was found to contain serious amounts of arsenic. The opinion is expressed that the salt possibly was recovered from a refrigerating plant or may have been the sweepings from a warehouse. Other low-grade or by-product salt contains sufficient barium chloride to be poisonous and dangerous in food. Such salt, under the food and drugs act, must be labeled or invoiced "Not for food purposes." Irresponsible dealers, however, may offer it for sale for human consumption. Such sale is, of course, in violation of state or federal laws, and renders the leader, if caught, liable to prosecution. The attention of the public is called to the need of great care in the purchase of low-grade food products offered at bargain prices. FEDERAL SERVICE SHOWS MORE SUGAR CONSUMED Returns from the first war emergency food survey made by the U. S. department of agriculture indicates that the amount of sugar consumed in 1917 was about 88.3 pounds per capita whereas the average annual consumption for the five-year period ending in 1916 was 84.7 pounds per capita. The evident increase in consumption, says the department, is due in part to the increased manufacture for export of commodities like condensed milk and to an increase in population coupled with an increased consumption by individuals and to an increase in consumers' stocks. --- Examine each carefully. Discard all defective containers and damaged tops. Clean all useable jars and store with tops in place. Order any additional jars needed and lay in a supply of new rubber rings. Make sure that the clean wash boiler or other large vessel that you will use for your hot-water bath are free from leaks. Examine and test pressure or other special canning-apparatus if you have it. If you use a wash boiler or large pail provide a false bottom of slats or bent wire. Strong wire trays with long upright handles make good false bottoms and enable the housewife to lift out groups of hot jars from the water bath. SAVE LITTLE SUGAR TODAY. Substitute Other Sweets. Cook cereals with dates or raisins and serve without sugar. Cook dried fruits without sugar. Sweeten fruits with honey or maple or corn sirup. Make puddings, cakes and other pastry with part corn sirup, molasses, or honey instead of all sugar. For a cupful of sugar in a cake recipe substitute a cupful of sirup or honey and for each cupful so used lessen the amount of liquor in the recipe by one-quarter cupful. U.S. DEPT. OF AGRICULTURE HOW TO GROW GARDEN PEAS. Early peas require a rather rich sandy loam with good drainage in order that the first plantings may be made early in the spring. Fertilizers that are high in nitrogenous matter should not be applied to the land immediately before planting, as they will have a tendency to produce too great growth of vines at the expense of pods. Land that has been manured the previous year will be found satisfactory without additional fertilizer. While the sandy loam is to be preferred for early varieties, a good crop can be produced on almost any good soil. The first plantings should be of such varieties as Alaska, or some of its modifications, which make a small but quick growth and may or may not be provided with supports. These should be planted about two weeks before the date of the last killing frost, or in fact may be planted as soon as the ground is in condition. The tall-growing sorts of the Telephone type are desirable for still later use, on account of their large production and excellent quality. Peas should be drilled in rows, one to two pints being sufficient for a 100-foot row. The individual peas should be placed about 1 inch apart in the rows. The distance between rows will depend upon the kind of cultivation to be employed, and upon the varieties used. The dwarf varieties need not be any farther apart than necessary to insure cultivation, while the tall-growing sorts should not be planted closer than to 3% feet apart. A good scheme is to plant two parallel rows of peas about 6 or 8 inches apart, then leave a space of 18 inches or two feet and plant two more rows of seed close together. Fewer strings or less brush will be required to support them than when planted in single rows at the greater distance. If peas are to be grown for immediate use only, a quart will be enough to plant at one time. However, if it is desired to grow peas for canning, large plantings should be made. If space is available, it is an excellent plan to make considerable planting at one time of some one variety, so that the peas for canning will be available in considerable quantities. This enables the housewife to get the canning out of the way in a comparatively short time. Successive plantings of the various varieties of peas should be made at intervals of about two weeks, until the weather begins to grow warm, when the plantings should be discontinued. It is possible in some sections to grow a fall crop of peas. When this is done, early varieties should be used. ONIONS. Onions can be produced on almost any good garden soil, and constitute one of the standard crops found in almost every garden. The usual plan in the home garden is to plant sets in rows far enough apart to suit the method of cultivation to be followed. The sets need not be more than 2 or 3 inches apart in the rows. Onion sets may be planted as soon as the ground can be worked and before frosts are over. Some kinds may be planted in the autumn. The potato or multiplier onion can be planted from sets in the autumn and will produce excellent early green onions. Onions may be grown from seed either by starting the seed in the hotbed and transplanting to the open ground or by drilling in rows directly in the garden. With good soil and proper care it is possible to produce good-sized bulbs from seed in a single season. Onions require frequent shallow cultivation, and it may be necessary to resort to hand work in order to keep the crop free from weeds. If it is desired to use the onions as green or bunch onions they may be pulled at any time after they are large enough, otherwise they should be allowed to grow until they reach maturity. If the onions start to throw up seed stalks these should be removed, or the seed will be formed at the expense of the bulbs MUSKMELONS A sandy loam with plenty of well-rotted manure incorporated in the soil is well adapted to the production of muskmelons. The muskmelon is a heat-loving crop, requiring a long growing season, about four months, and cannot be planted until the ground has become warm. For this reason it is useless to attempt to grow the muskmelon in sections where the growing season is not sufficiently long or where the temperature is not uniformly high. The northern portion of the United States is not suited to the growing of this crop for the reasons cited above. It is advisable to start the plants in berry boxes, or on sods in the hotbed, transferring these to the open ground after the ground has become warm. In this way considerable time can be saved and much better results obtained. It is a good plan to place plenty of well-rotted manure in the hills, which should be about 6 feet apart. Sufficient seed should be planted so that four good strong plants may be had in each hill. Another plan is to sow in drills in rows 6 or 7 feet apart, thinning the plants until they are from 18 inches to 2 feet apart in the rows. Cultivation should be frequent and thorough until the vines begin to run. After this the only cultivation required is to keep weeds down. Muskmelons are liable to be attacked by several diseases and have at- least one serious insect enemy. For information on the control of insects and diseases affecting the muskmeelon, refer to Farmers' Bulletin 856, entitled "Control of Diseases and Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable Garden." Do You Know That- SPINACH. Spinach thrives in a rather cool climate and attains its best development in the middle South, where it can be grown in the open ground during the winter. Farther north it is necessary to protect the plants during the winter with a mulch of straw or leaves. To produce good spinach a rich loam which will give the plants a quick growth is required. Fall planting is to be recommended wherever this is possible, as the fall-planted spinach is not as much inclined to go to seed as that planted in the spring. One ounce of seed is sufficient for a 100-foot row, and this crop may be sown in drills about 1 foot apart. Spinach is an easily grown garden crop, and there is perhaps no other of its kind that will give as good satisfaction. In gathering spinach the entire plant is removed rather than merely cutting off the leaves. The larger plants are selected first, and the smaller ones are thus given a chance to develop. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF CAULIFLOWER. The cauliflower requires a rich, moist soil, and thrives best under irrigation. It will not withstand as much frost as cabbage, but is very sensitive to hot weather. To make a success of the crop it is best to plant it about the time of the last killing frost in spring, using plants grown in the hotbed or window box. This gives it time to mature before hot weather comes. The rows need not be more than $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 3 feet apart for horse cultivation, or 24 to 30 inches apart for hand work. The plants should be from 14 to 18 inches apart in rows. The culture is the same as for cabbage until the heads begin to develop, after which the leaves may be tied together over the heads to exclude the light and keep hends white. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY This crop is one of the aristocrats of the garden. If you succeed in growing high-grade cauliflower you will qualify as a good gardener. WATERMELONS. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. The watermelon requires considerable room, and unless there is an abundance of space available it should not be planted in the garden. It is a heat-loving plant and the seeds should not be planted in the open until the ground is warm. This will be about one month after the last hard frost. They do best in a sandy soil, and require plenty of well-rotted manure for their best development. The usual method is to plant them in hills made up with plenty of well-rotted manure, about 10 feet apart each way. Some eight or ten seeds should be placed in each hill, and when the plants are well established they should be thinned to four plants in a hill. For full directions as to the control of insects and diseases affecting the watermelon, see Farmers' Bulletin 856, entitled "Control of Disease and Insect Enemies of the Home Vegetable Garden."

Kale is closely related to and possesses many of the characteristics of cabbage. It is very hardy and may be planted in the autumn in the entire southern portion of the United States. It will thrive on any good soil and responds readily to liberal applications of stable manure. Kale may be sown in drills or in some cases may be sown broadcast. When sown in drills a quarter ounce of seed is sufficient for a 100-foot row. Kale may be sown as soon as the ground is in condition to work. Successive plantings may be made at intervals through the summer, but pickings can be made from the first planting during the entire season. When planted in drills the plants may be thinned as soon as large enough, using the ones removed for greens. Distribute Hand Labor. It is, of course, possible to do the work just as well by hand, but a considerable amount of labor is involved. For small areas, however, this method is the only practical one. When the garden is to be worked by hand it is especially desirable that the spading be done as early as possible, as the sooner it is done the easier it will be to get the ground in condition. The ground should be worked down only as needed, as this will distribute the labor; and as the rough ground will dry off quicker than that smoothed down, it is possible to get on the ground sooner if left in the rough than when well worked down. It is extremely desirable to get such crops as early peas, early potatoes, and early cabbage plants in as soon as the ground is dry enough, and it is often possible to get these crops planted a week or two earlier by following this plan.

BRITISH LINE HOLDS EMPEROR WILLIAM DECLARES IT'S GREATEST MOMÊNT IN GERMAN HISTORY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Wednesday, March 22.—Newton D. Baker, the American secretary of war, was the guest of Ambassador Page during his brief stay in London. London, March 22.—"We are at the decisive moment of the war and one of the greatest moments in German history," said Emperor William in a telegram to the Rhenish provincial council. London, March 22.—By employing masses of troops, supported by a great weight of artillery, the Germans appear to have penetrated the British front at certain points between the Scarpe and Vendeuil, says Reuter's, Ltd., correspondent at British headquarters. "Our counter measures have not yet developed," the correspondent adds. "Therefore it is difficult to define the position. Apparently the enemy's purpose has been to launch converging attacks upon the two flanks of the Flesquieres salient, in the hope of cutting it off. There are unconfirmed rumors that the enemy has employed tanks." Field Marshal Haig's report from British headquarters in France describes the German offensive as comprising an intense bombardment by the artillery and a powerful infantry attack on a front of fifty miles. Some of the British positions were penetrated, but the German losses are said to have been exceptionally heavy. On no part of the long front of the attack did the Germans attain their objective. The text of the statement reads: "At about 8 o'clock this morning, after an intense bombardment of both high explosive and gas shells on our forward positions and back areas, a powerful infantry attack was launched by the enemy on a front of over fifty miles, extending from the River Oise in the neighborhood of La Fere to the Sensee river, about Croisilles. A hostile artillery demonstration has taken place on a wide front of La Barsee canal and in the Ypres sector. "The attack, which for some time past was known to be in the course of preparation, has been pressed with great vigor and determination throughout the day. In the course of the fighting the enemy broke through our outpost positions and succeeded in penetrating into our battle positions in certain parts of the front. "The attacks were delivered in large masses and have been extremely costly to the hostile troops engaged, whose losses have been exceptionally heavy. "Severe fighting continued along the whole front. Large numbers of hostile reinforcing troops have been observed during the day moving forward behind the enemy's lines. "Several enemy divisions which had been especially trained for this attack have already been identified, including units of the guards. "Captured maps depicting the enemy's intentions show that on no part of the long front of the attack has he attained his objective." Washington.—Even word from London that the drive launched Thursday by the Germans on the west front is on a larger scale than any undertaken there since the war began has failed to convince American military observers that the long-heralded German offensive is at hand. Washington.—Secret figures of the British admiralty on submarine losses and world shipbuilding were made public here by the British embassy. They show that from both enemy action and marine risk on Jan. 1, 1918, allied and neutral shipping had lost since the war began 11,827,572 gross tons, while shipyards outside of the central powers were turning out 6,606,275 tons. Moscow.—Russia will eventually become a German province and Russians will lose their liberty if they submit to the peace forced by the central powers, David R. Francis, the American ambassador, declared in a statement to the Russian people. London, March 22.—Ostend was bombarded by British monitors and Helgoland was attacked by seaplanes, according to the official announcement. The admiralty statement says four enemy aircraft were destroyed. Washington.—The agricultural appropriation bill, with the Gore amendment increasing the 1918 government guaranteed wheat price to $2.50, was passed by the Senate. LIFE AT ITS WORST Wild Orgies in Mushroom Towns Along Union Pacific. Scenes That Can Only Be Described as Reversion of Mankind to the Savage, Common in the Early Days of the West. Travelers who whisk across the country in luxurious trains today little realize the vision, the toil and the sacrifice that made possible the steel road over which they roll along. In the building of the first railroad across the continent is to be found the theme which has thrilled Zane Grey in "The U. P. Trail." Among the pictures drawn by Mr. Grey of the scenes and incidents attendant upon the building of the Union Pacific one of the most vivid is that of a night following pay day in Benton, one of the towns of the type that sprang up in the wake of the road in the days during its construction, an exchange says: "Life indoors that night in Benton was monstrous, wonderful and hideous. The gold that did not flow over the bars went into the greedy hands of the cold, swift gamblers or into the clutching fingers of the wild-eyed women. The big gambling hell had extra lights, extra attendants, extra tables; and there round the great glittering mirror-blazing bar struggled and laughed and shouted a drink-sodden mass of humanity. And all through the rest of the big room groups and knots of men stood and sat around tables, intent, absorbed, obsessed, listening with strained ears, watching with wild eyes, reaching with shaking hands—only to gasp and throw down their cards and push gold toward cold faced gamblers, with a muttered curse. This was the night of the golden harvest for the black-garbed, steel-nerved, cold-eyed card sharps. They knew the brevity of time, and of hour, and of life. "In the dancing halls there was a maddening whirl, an immense and incredible hilarity, a wild fling of unleashed, burly men, an honest drunken spree. But there was also the hideous, red-eyed drunkenness that did not spring from drink; the unvelled passion, the brazen lure, the raw, corrupt and terrible presence of bad women in absolute license at a wild and baneful hour. "The scene at midnight was unreal, livid, medieval. Dance of cannibals, dance of sun worshipers, dance of Apaches on the warpath, dance of cliff dwellers wild over the massacre of a dreaded foe—only these orgies might have been comparable to that wild whirl of gold and lust. "Night wore on and the hour of dawn approached. "The lamps were dead; the tents were dark; the music was stilled; and the low, soft roar was but a hollow mockery of its earlier strength. "Like specters men staggered slowly and wanderingly through the gray streets. Gray ghosts! All was gray. A vacant laugh pealed out and a strident curse, and then again the low murmur prevailed. Benton was going to rest. Weary, drunken, spent nature sought oblivion—on disordered beds, on hard floors and in dusty corners. An immense and hovering shadow held the tents and halls and streets. Through this opaque gloom the silent and the mumbling revelers reeled along. Louder voices broke the spell only for an instant. Death lay in the middle of the main street, in the dust—and no passing man halted. It lay as well down the side streets, in sandy ditches and on the tent floors, and behind the bar of the gambling hell. Likewise death had his counterpart in hundreds of prostrate men who lay in drunken stupor, asleep, insensible to the dust in their faces. "But the dawn would not stay back in order to hide Benton's hideousness. The gray lifted out of the streets, the shadows lightened, the east kindled and the sweet, soft freshness of a desert dawn came in on the gentle breeze. And when the sun arose, splendid and golden, with its promise and beauty, it shone upon a ghastly, silent, motionless, sleeping Benton." Cares for War Dog Veterans. War dogs discharged from active service with glorious wounds are being cared for by Countess Yourlevich in charming surroundings in the Rue Chauveau, Neully-sur-Seine, reports a Paris dispatch. The Old Brigade includes Pax, who four times saved his master's life; Dick of the Somme, who had a leg amputated after a heroic exploit; Dick of the Yser, whose regimental officers decorated him with the Croix de Guerre. Altogether the countess is caring for nearly six hundred dogs who have been the devoted companions of stretcher bearers and the friends of the polius. Already these faithful heroes are fasting as a result of food restrictions and with the more severe regime of bread cards there are fresh clouds gathering on their horizon. Regimental Pets. As regimental pets, black cats are regarded the luckiest possession a detachment can have, and the arrival of a stray animal of this color at a gumpit or dugout in France is an event of great importance. Every one is bound to be lucky for some hours at least. To meet a black cat while marching up to the trenches puts every member of the company in the happiest humor. On the other hand, a black magpie flying across the line of march is a bad omen. To hear the cuckoo calling before breakfast is another bad omen. FIGHT TO FINISH, SAY PREMIERS WAR COUNCIL AGREES THAT VOWS OF TEUTON'S CANNOT BE TAKEN. DENOUNCE SLAV PACT STRUGGLE MUST BE CONTINUED UNTIL THE LAWLESS FORCE IS ENDED. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, March 19.—The Supreme War Council of the allies issued a statement condemning German political crimes against the Russian and Rumanian peoples, and refusing to acknowledge Germany's peace treaties The council's statement, which is issued through the foreign office, says: "The prime ministers and foreign ministers of the entente assembled in London feel it to be their bounden duty to take note of the political crimes which, under the name of German peace, have been committed against the Russian people. Russia was unarmed. Forgetting that for four years Germany had been fighting against the independence of nations and the rights of mankind, the Russian government, in a mood of singular credulity, expected to obtain by persuasion that 'democratic peace' which it had failed to obtain by war. "The results were that the intermediate armistice had not expired before the German command, though pledged not to alter the disposition of its troops, transferred them en masse to the western front, and so weak did Russia find herself that she dared to raise no protest against this destruction of Germany's plighted word. What followed was of like character, when 'the German peace' was translated into action. It was found to involve the invasion of Russian territory, the destruction or capture of all Russia's means of defense, and the organization of Russian lands for Germany's profit—a proceeding which did not differ from 'annexation,' because the word itself was carefully avoided. "Meanwhile, those very Russians who had made military operations impossible, found diplomacy impotent. Their representatives were compelled to proclaim that while they refused to read the treaty presented to them, they had no choice but to sign it; so they signed it, not knowing whether in its true significance it meant peace or war, nor measuring the degree to which Russian national life was reduced by it to a shadow. "For us of the entente governments the judgment which the free peoples of the world will pass on these transactions would never be in doubt. Why waste time over German pledges when we see that at no period in her history of conquest—not when she overran Silesia nor when she partitioned Poland—has she exhibited herself so cynically as a destroyer of national independence, the implacable enemy of the rights of man and the dignity of civilized nations. "Poland, whose heroic spirit has survived the most cruel of national tragedies, is threatened with a fourth partition, and, to aggravate her wrongs, devices by which the last trace of her independence is to be crushed are based on fraudulent promises of freedom. "What is true of Russia and Poland is no less true of Rumania, overwhelmed, like them, in a flood of merciless passion for domination. "Peace is loudly advertised, but under the disguise of verbal professions lurk the brutal realities of war and the untenpered rule of a lawless force. "Peace treaties such as these we do not and cannot acknowledge. Our known ends are very different. We are fighting, and mean to continue fighting, in order to finish once for all with this policy of plunder, and to establish in its place the peaceful reign of organized justice. "As incidents of this long war unroll themselves before our eyes, more and more clearly do we perceive that the battles for freedom are everywhere interdependent; that no separate enumeration of them is needed and that in every case the single, but all-sufficient, appeal is to justice and right. "Are justice and right going to win? Insofar as the issue depends on battles yet to come, the nations whose fate is in the balance, may surely put their trust in the armies, which even under conditions more difficult than the present, have shown themselves more than equal to the great cause entrusted to their valor."

Here 1s a group of sults for spring that even the unpracticed eye—at a glance—will percelye to be quite un- Uke the suits of yesterday. Their de- signers have wandered into green fields and pastures new, gathering ideas, and are displaying the results of thelr wanderings now in sults that have many interesting style features. They appear to have centered atten- tion on coats and to have agréed that skirts shall be plain, hang straight, or show a little narrowing toward the bottom, and reach at least to the shoe top. In coats the most noticeable inno- vation is the uneven line at the bottom of the coat skirt. There is only an occasional coat that is even at the bot- tom edge, but this variety is good style always. Another new feature in coats is the fitted-In lines at the back, which are achieved by new methods of cutting and shaping, that almost vie ‘with semifitted models in point of num- bers. There are many coats that fall to close at the front, and some whose only closing point is at the waistline. ‘These open models are worn with light waistcoats in some cases, or over blouses that are glimpsed to the waist. At the left of the picture a very graceful and clever coat has pointed fronts and its skirt is set on to a styles. Assortments are so wide in suits that every woman may have the satisfaction of satisfying her own style and preferences when she makes a se lection. The dressy, separate silk skirt has made a history for itself that insures its welcome every season, but Its great day is ushered in with spring. Its rival, the sports skirt, has pro moted it; success for the separate skirt of silk 1s sure and deserved, and there is no end to the variety in silke and color combinations that make It a thing of beauty this spring. ‘Two or three shades of one color in stripes and plaids, or combinations of contrasting colors, or colors with cross- bars in black or white, in as many de- signs as we find in ginghams, make the choice unlimited, but so far stripes have been developed into the most at- tractive of the new skirts. The season is dominated by two styles, each with many variations. One 1g the skirt lad in plaits about the waistline and the other is the tunic skirt. The plaited skirt is not so new as the tunic, but It 1s too good look- ing, and may be fitted with too much good style for women to leave It out of thelr reckoning, _ Tunics, like coats, are usually un- even in length.
