BALLOU CONVICTS THEATRE MANAGER The General Says His Bulletin Was One of Advice, Designed to Protect Racial Friction, and Had Nothing to Do With Any Policy of Segregation VOL. XXIV. GEN. BALLOU THEATRE The General Sa Was One of Ac to Protect Rac Had Nothing Any Policy Camp Funston, Kansas, May 15.—It transpires that while Major-General C. C. Ballou, of the 92d Division, was addressing the men under him through Bulletin No. 35, he was at the same time pressing the prosecution of the theatrical manager who had discriminated against a sergeant of the division. The prosecution of the manager of the Wareham theater for discrimination on account of color, instigated at General Ballou's request, was, after being twice continued, tried in Police Court at Manhattan, Kansas, a few days ago, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant and the imposition of a fine of $10 and costs. It is generally assumed that the conviction of the theatrical manager will serve to prevent a repetition of the offense, and will deter other theater owners and managers from making discrimination on account of color. General Ballou followed the same course here as he did at the Officers' Training School at Des Moines, Iowa, last summer namely, while admonishing his men to refrain from precipitating racial disturbances, to prosecute those who should discriminate against his men: General Balloon Writes Scott. The following letter, addressed to Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war, although dated April 22, 1918, has just been made public, since the prosecution and concession of the offending theater manager. The letter to Mr. Scott follows: HEADQUARTERS 92D DIVISION, CAMP FUNSTON, KANSAS. April 22, 1918. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, War Department, Washington, D. C.: My Dear Mr. Scott—I have your request that I make a brief statement relative to Bulletin No. 35, these headquarters. There seems to be no good reason why I should not do so. A soldier of this division got into trouble with a theater manager at Manhattan and reported it to me. I at once ordered an investigation, placed the facts before the division judge advocate and was informed by him that the theater manager had violated the law. I then put the case in the hands of the United States attorney and requested the prosecution of the theater manager. The case was set for April 22. I then issued Bulletin No. 35, which, in brief, is counsel to my soldiers to avoid race troubles. This bulletin was given out to the colored press of the country, accompanied by an entirely misleading letter that not only com- plettely suppressed all mention of any prosecution of the theater manager, but directly and falsely conveyed the impression to editors and readers that I had not done so. The most prejudiced person will, I think, at once see that this was a malicious attempt to stir up race feeling by misrepresentation. Good Order and Military Discipline Foundation Stones. The character of Bulletin No. 35 was that of advice, as already stated. This advice was ordered published to the division. It had nothing to do with any policy of segregation, or with any policy outside of the military establishments. Its purpose was to prevent race friction, with the attendant prejudice to good order and military discipline. Good order and military discipline are the foundation stones of the military service. They are indispensable. Nothing connected with the service of the colored troops has ever been so threatening to good order and discipline as race troubles have been, and it is well known that our enemies have sought to profit by this fact ever since there was a prospect of war. No stone has been left unturned. There have always been foes of our country ready to aggravate the grievances of the colored people on the one hand and to stir up the whites on the other. It was no mere coincident that the East St. Louis atrocities occurred in a city filled largely with German sympathizers. There is little doubt that the same influence agged on both whites and blacks at Houston. Most troubles have small beginnings. At Houston they grew from the fact of colored soldiers entering cars reserved for whites, and other similar matters. Great wrongs were eventually committed on both sides, culminating in the killing of a score or more of white people and the hanging of thirteen Negroes. In the midst of all the feeling and excitement caused by the East St. Louis and Houston troubles, the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines won golden approbation all over the United States, made thousands of friends for the colored race and achieved a glorious success. It did all of this by following precisely the advice that was repeated to the 92d Division in Bulletin No. 35. "By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know Them." Our enemies do not wish the United States to have its military power increased by colored soldiers, and they stand ready to add fuel to every race DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 25 1918 ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION state Hlist. & Nat Hlist Soc. state House ABLE Negro Pa ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA discord in order to embarrass our country as much as possible in this war. Is it any wonder then, in view of what the enemy has accomplished in the past and is seeking to accomplish again, that the commander of the colored division seeks to nip troubles in the bud, and while prosecuting white men for their offences against his soldiers, urges the soldiers to do their part to keep the peace and promote harmony. I have shown that my position and action were deliberately and maliciously misrepresented to the colored people by the suppression of the news of my prompt prosecution of the theater manager, and by falsely conveying the impression that I had taken no such action. The entire letter that accompanied Bulletin No. 35 to the press of the colored people was a misrepresentation of my attitude and of the facts in the case, and no fair-minded person, when the facts are known, as stated above, can fail to see the work of an enemy—an enemy of our country and an even greater enemy to the colored race. Is the colored race going to "fail" to such schemes? I think not. I think they will contrast the work of the trouble-maker with the solid achievements of the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Molines and of the 92d Division, and consider thoughtfully the words—"By their fruit ye shall know them." C. C. BALLOU, Major-General, Commanding 92d Division. 14 NEGRO SOLDIERS HELD FOR ASSAULT. Rockford, Ill., May 20.—Fourteen Negro soldiers are under arrest at Camp Grant and the entire Negro brigade of 7,500 are ordered held to their barracks, pending investigation of an attack on a white woman and her soldier escort at the cantonment last Tuesday night it was announced by Mnj. Gen. Martin, the commandant. Cordele, Ga., May 22.—A mob of 400 men stormed the Grip county jail here tonight and seized Jim Cobb, a Negro, accused of the murder near here today of Mrs. A. L. Simmons, a farmer's wife. Cobb, despite the protests of Sheriff Ward, was thrown into an automobile and started for the scene of the killing. Members of the mob followed in other machines. Valdosta, Ga., May 22.—Sidney Johnson, a Negro, accused of complicity in the murder of Hampton Smith, a Brooks county farmer was shot to death tonight in a fight with the police on the outskirts of Valdosta. Three white men were wounded, including Chief of Police Dampier. 5 MORE NEGROES LYNCHED BY MOR Valdosta, Ga., May 20.—Five Negroes have been lynched for the murder of Hampton Smith thus far, and several others are today behind the bars strongly guarded against further violence. Mary Turner, wife of Hayes Turner, who was hanged Saturday night in Brokes county, was hanged to Folsom's bridge, over Little river, late yesterday. It is claimed she made unwise remarks about the execution of her husband, that a gold watch belong to the murdered man was found in her possession and that the murder plot was hatched at her house. Her body was riddled with bullets. Posses are today in pursuit of Sydney Johnson, who, it is charged, actually committed the murder of Smith, out of which the lynchings grew. All of Johnson's relatives, including his father and mother, are in jail strongly guarded. The feeling among the whites is still intense today and other Negroes said to have been connected with ORIGINAL the crime are being sought. The murder occurred Thursday night when two Negroes stole Hampton Smith's shotgun, killing Smith, attacked and wounded his wife. Mrs. Smith escaped, however, and gave the alarm. U. S. NEGRO SOLDIERS, WOUNDED, FIGHT ON, SAVING COMRADES. Washington, May 20.—General Pershing's communique today gave eloquent testimony to the spirit of democracy which knows no race nor color. It told of the heroic fight of two American Negro soldiers, both wounded, who withstood a raiding party of twenty Germans and saved comrades from surprise and capture. "Reports in hand," says the statement, "show a notable instance of bravery and devotion shown by two soldiers of an American colored regiment operating in a French sector. Before daylight on May 15 Private Henry Johnson and Private Roberts, while on sentry duty at some distance from one another, were attacked by the German raiding party, estimated at twenty men, who advanced in two groups, attacking at once from flank and rear. "Both men fought bravely in hand-to-hand encounters, one resorting to the use of a bolo knife after his rifle jammed and further fighting with bayonet and butt became impossible. There is evidence that at least one and possibly a second German was severely cut. A third is known to have been shot. "The two colored sentries continued fighting after receiving wounds and despite the use of grenades, by a superior force, prevented by their bravery the capture of any of our men." OGDEN, UTAH, NEWS. Miss Irene Turner died last Tuesday of typhoid fever. The remains were shipped to Kansas for burial. She leaves a mother and a sister and three brothers to mourn her loss. Mrs. Annie Vaiton has returned to her home in the East after a few weeks' visit with her mother, Mrs. Gale. Mrs. Bradshaw served dinner at her home last week to fifteen, in honor of her father's 60th birthday, Wm. H. Johnson, before leaving for Omaha, Neb. The Progressive Uplift club sick committee is busy looking after the sick, may they prosper. There are 18 young men of our race to leave soon for the camps. I wonder who they can be girls? I don't know. CHEYENNE, WYOMING, NEWS. We are glad to know that Miss Ruby E. Gaskin is a member of the 1918 High School graduates.

NEGRO PART IN WAR CONVINCES THE SOUTH Will They Be Converted and Give Him A Square Deal? White Mississippian Swears He Will. WILLIAM SLAVENS McNUTT. popular magazine writer, in the fourth of his series of articles published in WILLIES Weekly, pays the compliment to our Negro soldiers in the impression they are establishing among the people of the Southland; "I'm Done Talking Against Niggers." In writing of the National Army of the South, I must not omit the Negro soldiers. There was one unit at Camp Lee composed of 1,600 colored soldiers, selected from West Virginia. Ten days after they arrived in camp with the first quota last fall, the call came for them to go immediately to France for special service. The call was sadder and unexpected. General Cronkhite knew that the men had not expected to leave this country for several months. He thought that perhaps some of the 1,600 might have good reasons for not wanting to leave at once, so he called for volunteers from the 5,000 other colored troops who were in camp to fill up whatever vacancies there might be in the oversea unit. Every one of the 5,000 volunteered for immediate oversea service. Then the unit was marched to a hall. The general said that there were volunteers to take the place of any who wished to remain behind. Only 20 per cent of the 1,600 availed themselves of the opportunity to stay at home. When the general came from the stage on his way out those newly drafted colored men, facing active service in the war zone within less than two weeks after having broken their civilian ties, started to sing "America." As the general went down the aisle the singing grew to a harmonious roar of affirmation. The thing was absolutely spontaneous. They had not been coached. It was a spontaneous expression of sentiment in the face of danger. Will you say that they had no full realization of the danger to be faced? Then come with me to Camp Jackson. I heard there a battalion of Negro soldiers singing under the leadership of David Griffin, the division singing instructor. They were drawn up in formation before a barrack, singing with that abandon and joy that only the Negro can attain. It seemed indeed that the thought of the war must be very light on their minds. Come with me to an officers' mess hall the next day. There is a shout outside: "Hey! Look what's coming!" We step outside. Down the road, thump-thump, thump-thump, comes that same battalion of Negro soldiers in full marching order. These soldiers from the mills and cotton fields are on their way to France. The whole camp knows it; the whole camp is grave, quiet. Thump-thump, thump-thump! There is no sound in all that great cannonment save the beat of marching feet and the creaking of packs. The black men know they are on their way abroad. They are a solemn-looking lot. A minister steps out to the edge of the embankment overlooking the road down which the troops are marching, and calls out shakily: "Good-by, boys. God bless you! God take care of you, boys!" There is an uproiling of eyes and a shaky chorus of voices in answer: "Thanky, suh. Thanky kindly. Thanky, parson, suh. suh!" A big Mississippian, standing near, swore growlingly under his breath, gulped, and cried. "I'm done talking against niggers," he declared huskily. "Those boys have been damn fine soldiers here, an' if they ever get back from France, I'm big enough to lick any man who don't give 'em a square deal." "They've certainly been good soldiers," a South Carolinian standing by agreed. "I never thought to salute a nigger, but I've been glad to return salutes to those boys. If they die in France, they're going to be just as NO 31 dead as any of the rest of us. I been changing my mind awful fast in the last two months." Silence but for the shuffle and thump of booted feet on the roadway. The rolllicking, syncopated songs of yesterday were forgotten. A soft, drawing, quavery voice from somewhere in the marching ranks began the hymn: "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown?" Others took it up, and to the words and music of the old church song those black boys tramped their solemn way out of camp to put their bodies to the chance of war on a foreign soil. They may not have known much about the history of the German nation. Czars and kaisers may not have been any more real to their minds than ghosts and goblins. It is probable that the majority of them knew very little of the intricacies of Balkan politics. But, believe me, they knew that they were going to a dangerous place. They were not leaving with any idea of enjoying a pleasure picnic. They knew! I know very little of the rights and wrongs of what is spoken of as the Negro Problem of the South; I believe that, whatever the rights and wrongs of it may be, it will prove much easier of adjustment after this war is over. DENVER GOES "OVER THE TOP" WITH RED CROSS. AMOUNT SUBSCRIBED MAY REACH $750,000. Again have we shown genuine Americanism and more than 100 per cent loyalty as we go "over the top" on our going to press with $600,000 in sight and more subscriptions coming in. This gives Denver $100,000 over her quota of $500,000. High and low, rich and poor, are beginning to demonstrate their realization of the gigantic task that lies before us, and the interest or ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE will establish a unit in this country that the world will have to patronize. The leaders of the Red Cross Society can now be impressed that the West has no slackers and any time the discovery is made, we will straighten out the situation. It is certainly gratifying, and Colorado can congratulate herself on her noble showing in this her SECOND RED CROSS SUBSCRIPTION. Will Plant Eyebrows.

TO HELP YOU "HELP FEED YOURSELF" U.S. DEPT OF AGRICULTURE HOW TO TELL WHEN VEGETABLES ARE READY FOR USE ON TABLE Vegetables Like These, Grown in the Summer and Stored Until Needed, Vary Winter Diet. Such vegetables as leaf lettuce, kale, spinach, parsley, chard, turnip, mustard, and any other used as a green or salad may be gathered as soon as large enough to pay for the gathering. It is an excellent plan to make a practice of thinning these crops and using the plants removed as greens or for other purposes. Chard must be used while young as it soon passes its best stage. Kale should be used while relatively young, as when young it is of much better quality than when allowed to become large. It is a far better plan to make frequent successive plantings of the foliage crops so as to have a supply of tender, succulent greens or salad material continually available. Globe artichokes are ready for use as soon as the bur is formed and must be gathered before the blossoms appear. The bur is the bud of the flower and is used in the same way as turnips or kohl-rabi. Jerusalem artichokes are used in the same way as potatoes. They are ready for use in the autumn and may remain in the ground until needed. Asparagus is ready for use as soon as the young shoots are three or four inches long. If allowed to grow too long the shoots will become tough and woody. Beans (snap) are ready for use as soon as the bean is about half formed. In the stringless varieties the pods may be allowed to remain on the plant a little longer than the other sorts, but in every case they should be gathered while young and tender. Lima beans should be gathered as soon as the pods are well filled out, but before the pods begin to turn yellow. They should be gathered while the beans themselves still have a fresh, green appearance. After the beans become white they are past their prime. Beets should be used while young and tender. The beets may be thinned as soon as they are two or three inches tall and the ones that are removed can be used in greens. The entire crop should be used before they are more than two inches in diameter. Successive plantings at intervals of two weeks are advisable so that a supply of tender beets will always be available. Brussels sprouts are ready for use as soon as the heads are well formed and begin to crowd each other. Cabbage is ready for use as soon as the heads are well formed and well blanched in the interior. Chinese cabbage is ready for use as soon as well blanched. Carrots may be used as soon as they reach a size to justify pulling them. Many gardeners follow the practice of thinning the carrots and using those removed as vegetables or in soups. They may be grown as an all-season crop or as a late crop following something else. Size is not important, but very large ones are inclined to be tough and pithy. Cauliflower is ready for use as soon as the bleached heads are well filled out with the masses of globular material which if allowed to develop would form seed. It is important that it be cut before the heads become old. Celery is ready for use as soon as it reaches a good size and is blanched. It may be used green for stews, soups, etc. Collards may be used as soon as the rosette of leaves which forms the head is developed and blanched. Sweet corn should not be pulled until the ears are well filled out. This is about the time the silk begins to die. When the milk becomes doughy the corn is too old for table use. Cucumbers are ready for use whenever large enough, and before they have begun to turn yellow. Eggplants may be used at any time after the fruit is large enough to justify picking. It should not be allowed to remain on the bushes too long or decay will set in. Endive should be used as soon as blanched. Blanching may be accomplished by tying the leaves together as soon as the plants are well grown. Kohl-rabl must be used while tender. This may easily be determined by cutting the thickened stem which constitutes the edible portion. If tough and stringy, it is too old. Muskmelons.—Color, size and general appearance serve as guides in telling when they are ready to pick. They should not be allowed to remain on the vines until dead ripe, as they are past their prime when fully ripened. Watermelons.—Ripeness is determined by sound, and by the general appearance. A ripe melon when struck with the hand gives a dull sound, which is readily recognized after a few trials. Okra should be gathered while the pods are very young and tender and while the seeds are still soft. Onions may be pulled and used as bunch onions when the bulbs are from a quarter to a half inch in diameter. If for boiled onions the bulbs may be any size. Parsnips are not used until late in the autumn when the ground is frozen. Freezing improves their flavor; in fact, it is not considered advisable to use them as a summer vegetable. Size is of small importance, but those from $1\frac{1}{2}$ to 2 inches in diameter are considered best. Peas are ready for picking as soon as the pods are well filled and while the peas are still green, yet before either the peas become hard or the pods whitish or yellowish. Peas should not be gathered when too young, and if too old will be of poor quality. Peppers may be gathered at any time until they begin to turn red. For some purposes they are allowed to ripen, but usually are picked green. Early potatoes may be used at any time during their growth. An old-time rule is to begin digging them when they have reached the size of a hen's egg. It is advisable to begin using them when they have reached this size, digging the supply from day to day as needed, allowing the bulk of the crop to grow until needed or until they mature. Late potatoes should be allowed to grow until the vines die or are killed by frost. Sweet potatoes are of poor quality unless allowed to reach maturity. The simplest test is to break one of the potatoes. If drops of water collect on the broken surface the crop is not mature. This crop grows until frost kills the vines, but it is permissible to use them quite a while before the end of the growing season. Radishes may be used as soon as large enough. A common practice is to begin thinning them as soon as large enough. They should all be used while young and tender. Salsify is grown and handled in the same way as parsnips and the same rules may be followed in its use. Summer squashes are ready for use as soon as large enough. They, however, should not be picked when very small, as when young they are watery and of poor quality. As soon as the shell hardens they are too old for table use. Winter squashes should be allowed to grow until the vines die or until frost kills them, but the squashes should be stored before being frosted. Tomatoes should be picked when fully ripe, but should not be allowed to remain on the vines until soft. It is not a good practice to pick them while partly ripe, as the flavor is injured by this practice. Turnips for greens may be used as soon as the foliage is large enough to justify picking; If for the roots, when the roots are from $1\frac{1}{2}$ to 2 inches in diameter. When planted as a late summer crop for roots for storage, they should be allowed to grow until hard freezing occurs. Those from 2 to 3 inches in diameter are best. Larger ones may be used for stock trees. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Coal operators in Routt county have presented facts to the Colorado public utilities commission which indicate that the daily production would be double the present output if the facilities of the Denver & Salt Lake railroad were sufficient to handle the coal. The twenty-three mines operating in 1917 produced a total of 1,057,677 tons. Some mines worked eighty-one days during the season and others as high as 272 days. The average daily production of all mines was 5,253 tons. Operators recently have estimated that, other conditions being equal, the daily production should be 11,880 *tons. This would bring the 1918 output to about 2,500,000 tons. Benjamin J. Salmon, pacifist and self-styled "conscientious objector," who was convicted in the United States District Court in Denver on a charge of refusing to fill out his questionnaire, and was sentenced by Judge Robert E. Lewis to serve nine months in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, was found guilty of willful desertion in time of war by the draft board of District No. 1 in Denver, because he refused to leave with the other 437 draft men of Denver for the Fort Logan receiving depot. In telling why you should back the Red Cross, Governor Julius C. Gunter says: "Be generous to the Red Cross—the greatest voluntary organization in modern civilization. Its message is that of mercy, mercy at home and mercy abroad. Where there is want, suffering or misery at ministers in the name of common humanity, knowing no separation, racial, creedal or political. May our people respond in the Colorado spirit—generous service." The three oil wells being drilled in central eastern Colorado one each at Seibert, Flagler and Hugo are reported as progressing favorably although operations on them are temporarily held up by failure to receive casing shipments in the contracted time, lost tools and other delays incident to sinking oil wells. The well at Seibert is $830 feet deep, the one at Flagler 1,500 feet and the well at Hugo 1,200 feet. The food license of C. E. Bingham, a baker of Glenwood Springs, was suspended by Robert J. Grant of the Colorado Food Administration for violation of the food laws. It also was announced at State Food Administration office that W. L. Philbin, food administrator of Chaffee county, had fined Frank Gill, a Salida baker, $500 for a similar offense, the money being given to the Red Cross. Fort Collins had what is called a "march sing," in which the whole town took part. Citizens, headed by a band, gathered at the postoffice, which is on the edge of the business section, and to patriotic airs marched through the main streets, singing. By the time the parade was fairly under way 6,000 were on the streets, and those who could not sing kept time to the music. On the heels of a report that Mrs. M. B. Donahower of Denver had been secretly married to Robert Burns Fansher, oil operator, came the announcement that Mrs Margaret Cranor of New York city would file a breach of promise suit for $25,000 damages against Fansher in the District Court in Denver. Latest figures compiled by the State Board of Immigration show that more than one-third of the land within the borders of Colorado is under the control of the United States government. A fraction over 200 per cent. of the state's area is in national forests and nearly 16 per cent is government land, open to entry. Branches of the American Protective league, which helps the department of justice investigate seditious cases, have been formed in all counties of the state, except Cheyenne, Klowa and Baca. Ralph W. Smith is state inspector. The work is financed by the Colorado Council of Defense. The University of Denver will graduate 208 men and women this year. Farmers on the western slope of Colorado are delaying planting their crops, particularly potatoes because of the fear they have of labor conditions during the harvest seasons this year, according to reports of county agricultural agents.

George Fellowes of the "First Blinkin' brigade" went to Denver to root for the allies. A boy and girl, aged 3 and 5 years, respectively, children of Mr. and Mrs. Dominick Svaldi of Black Hawk, were drowned at that place when they fell into Clear creek. Creede, the famous old silver mining camp of Mineral county, raised $1,219.60 on the first day of the Red Cross drive. Seven persons were injured when an auto turned turtle as they were returning to Denver from Morrison. Carload lots of coal for use by a single consumer are being refused by operators in Colorado. The new 2-foot ore streak in the Cresson mine has widened to eight feet and runs $92 to the ton. Reports of officials estimate developed ore in sight, previous to this last strike of $3,148,276. Ore shipped in March yielded net income of $81,552 above all cost of operation. The Masonic and Order of the Eastern Star Overseas Service Association a national organization which will have a strong branch in Denver, has been launched for the purpose of rendering assistance and relief to members of the fraternity overseas.

WILL CONSIDER INVENTIONS War Department Creates New Section for Investigation of All Devices— Use of Sugar by Manufacturers Cur- _ tailed by Food Administration. ee a ear Sint a he One OE ee ee ee Washington.—Some Indication of the ceaseless watch kept on the high seas, in the path of American troopships, by United States naval forces operating in European waters, may be gained from statistics just compiled at the naval headquarters in London. These statistics show that a single force of American destroyers operating from one base had steamed almost 1,500,000 miles up to April 1. The maximum distance covered by a single destroyer was more than 580,000 miles from May 1, 1917, to April 1, 1918. This de- stroyer was one of the first to arrive abroad after war was declared. It has been announced that Vice Ad- miral William S. Sims, commanding United States naval forces abroad, of- fered to send an auxiliary force com- posed of naval units to the French front at the beginning of the German offensive. The chief of staff of the French navy and General Foch did not consider that the circumstances de- manded the presence of such a force at the front. ‘The French have had a naval divi- | sion operating in the forces of the Lor- raine sector for some time, and the naval units have made thelr part of the line as shipshape as possible, with everything from big naval guns down to sleeping hammocks and ships’ cats. The American soldiers billeted in England for temporary training or en route for France are more and more compelling the admiration and co-op- eration of the English people. The National Sporting club of London has started a series of weekly entertain- ments for enlisted men of the United States army and navy. To secure prompt and thorongh tn- vestigation of inventions submitted to the war department an “inventions sec- tion” has been created. All inven- tions of a mechanical, electrical, or chemical nature submitted for Inspec- tion, test, or sale are now, considered by this section. Any person desiring to have an tn- vention considered should do so by letter, giving in order the following tn- formation: Name and~object of the Invention, any claim for superiority or novelty, any results obtained by actual experiment, whether the invention ts patented, whether remuneration Is ex- pected, whether the invention has been before any other agency, whether the writer is owner or agent, the number of inclosures with the letter. A written description and sketches or drawings of sufficient detafl to afford a full understanding of the cases should also be submitted. Should the Invention be an explosive or other chemical combination the Ingredients and processes of mixture should be stated. ‘The inventions section will not bear the expense of preparation of draw- Ings and descriptions, nor advance funds for personal or traveling ex- penses by Inventors. Any matter submitted will be treat- ed as confidential. ‘The inventor will be notified of each step taken during the Investigation of his Invention. All communications should be addressed: Inventions Section, General Staft, Army War College. Washington, D. C. All newspapers have again been urged by the navy department, through the committee on public information, to discontinue the publication of news Items and advertisements which may In any degree indicate the location or movement of vessels. ‘This notice bas not been issued be- cause of new circumstances endan- gering ocean shipping—none has arisen—but because it ts felt that vol- untary censorship has not yet achleved the fullest measure of essential se- erecy In the protection of merchant shipping. ‘The notice asks_that all references to names of ships, dates of sailing and arrival, information of routes, schedules, cargoes, location and movement of ships be deleted from news and advertising copy. ‘There are now 20 uniforms for wom- en in war work in the United States. ‘They are for munition workers, tele- phone and radio operators, yeomen, employees of the shipping board and the food administration, Red Cross workers, Y. M. C. A. workers, wom- an's motor corps, girl scouts, and stu- dents of the National Service school of the woman's naval service. Information regarding the hospitals of the United States, in process of compilation since 1916, {s now collated ‘and indexed In the medical section of the councll of national defense. A central bureau of information concern- ing the hospital facilities of the coun- try, under war conditions, {s thus pro- vided. ‘The bureau has not only the details COMMITTER OF SIXTY NEGROES APPOINTED BY WAR DEPART MENT TO TRAVEL AND ADDRESS THE RACE ON WAR. NCLE SAM is not taking any more chances now that he realizes U that it means not the “American Specialty,” but the general and genuine American at heart; not 5,000,000 as some say, but as many as can be sent to carry out this job, the greatest part of A which will devolve on us. It really needs a stirring up among the people, not because of their disloyalty or inactivity owing to lack of understanding on the gteat issue beforg us, but so many have remarked and written on the glaring inconsistency that prevails, and the apparent inability of our government to cope with this lawlessness in the southern section of this country—the same trying everything in its power to remove us from laying hold of this opportunity TO SERVE, which means more than we can conjecture just now to our advantage. The Hon. Emmett Seott is working hard to present every phase of encouragement to his fellow race members that nothing will interfere with their reasonings to enter this war for self-preservation; and his burden increases as it looks like the hand of Fate continues to cause the representatives of mob-rule to find theatrical amusement and pleasant recreation in the barbarous practices they engage. It was Major Simmons who, in addressing us in the Auditorium about two weeks ago, after leaving the war-front a few days prior, said to a large audience in relating atrocities of the enemy— “the only way to win this war is to kill Germans, and keep on killing until they ean understand this democracy.” We wonder if this application would reform the hill-billy, or make him adopt the true Ameriean form of justice, “doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Now these appointees are selected from the best leaders of our people—the per- sonnel of whom consists of professional men, men qualified in the arts and selences, specialists in historical researches, full-fledged in the knowl- edge of the progressiveness of the different races and species of the hu- man family, and these ministering and lecturing on “the meaning of the ‘war to us.” surely much good must result, and in the words of Monroe Work, “laying hold of the opportunity now, is a sure indication of our winning the recognition that we are struggling to obtain.” And here's an inspiration for leader and follower, taken from the Rocky Mountain News, a Denver daily, of Wednesday, May 22, which covers the area of thought and action on the principle that must guide us and the goal we must obtain, ‘This generation is summoned to Calvary in order that a world redeemed from the rule of militarism may be given to a succeeding generation, That is our duty and our privilege. When we sheath the sword it must be on a day that sees the solid rock of international right sustained by international might and swept clean of its criminal foes for the SUPERSTRUCTURE OF A NEW CIVILIZATION.” THE COLO- RADO STATESMAN will zealously follow this move of the government in the timely effort to send this message to our soldiers and civilians, and we trust that these appointees may find a greater spirit of service in the par- ticular mission they are engaged, as to our mind there can be none more ennobling and more gratifying. A great measure of success to our war speakers is our hope. THE SUPREME TEST OF NEGRO LOYALTY FACES THE AMERICA) NATION. N THIS issue of THE COLORADO STATESMAN appear four articles I specially relating to the Negro in various phases of action, and after these shall have been read and given the seriousness of thought that must engage the reader, one cannot help from concluding that this nation is bound to pay strict attention to some of the things that will delay her complete victory over the enemy, must show as in the days of a Lincoln, the power of the Federal Constitution over State actions, and in the end issue its mandate, whieh if obeyed will make us united in thought, word and action, and if disobeyed, will cause such A PERMA- NENT HATE to arise in the minds of the dark-skinned youth of this country, that he will resolve to become efficient on all lines, enlist the sympathy of other dark races, and as some of our recent patriotic speak- ers asserted with much emphasis, will only be laying the foundations for the next war—-THE WAR OF RACES. Briefly, let us review the ar- ticles: One giving the opinion of a white man—a writer on the Negro’s loyalty and the part he is playing on behalf of the nation at home and abroad, and so much is he impressed, that he relates the incident of this Mississippian, who, being convinced of the Negro’s action for good to this country’s cause, swears by the eternal heavens that he is converted to righteousness, and his mission in life now and hereafter will be an equal chance for his BROTHER IN BLACK in this great country, Another evi- dence in point—General Pershing’s communication to the American Goy- ernment and people, in which he pays a glowing tribute to two of our Negro soldiers who saved their comrades from destruction or capture, by successfully combatting the attack of a German raiding party and even though wounded, remained at the post of duty and would have died like the Spartan of old in defense of their country, flag and fellow-Americans if the raiders were not beaten back. Says the War Department: “General Pershing’s Communique today (May 20) gave eloquent testimony to the spirit of democracy which knows NO RACE NOR COLOR,” and then the event of the greatest bravery is related. Compare these two with the fol- lowing, all seemingly happening simultaneously or in quick succession: “FIVE MORE NEGROES LYNCHED BY MOB"-—Valdosta, Georgia: ‘14 NEGRO SOLDIERS HELD: FOR ASSAULT”’—Rockford, I, Note the striking contrast, in the one case where every mental power is brought to play for the security and safeguarding of a cause as a whole, there presents an inter-alliance of the spirit of democracy, and this is abroad. In the other, where the arch-fiendish animal nature coming in the ascendency, exhibits its savagery and ferocity, and is allowed to put into execution de- tiance of law, inhuman actions, ete., compelling sympathy on account of that mockery—superiority of color, and in the end a compromise from the State Judiciary powers, that after a mocked investigation resulting in a miscarriage of justice, demonstrates its fearfulness for a lawless crowd, who would not think that a supreme test of our people's loyalty, whole- hearted support in this world-issue in which our country is playing a very important part is facing the nation? And if these atrocities must be winked at, if the state authority must exceed the federal then it would not be surprising if it takes us a longer time to whip our foe. Says the Book of Holy Writ: “He that knoweth ed will of my Father and doeth it not, the same shall be beaten with many\stripes.” For the great Creator's sake, for the vaunted intellectual superiority, for the cause of humanity and jus- tice, if this be a pro-German propaganda to sow the seed of perpetual ani- mosity between the man BLACK and the man WHITE, let us start with THE ENEMY AT HOME who knows every way of ingress and who can 80 easily and successfully invade us.

American prisoners of war In Ger- many are entitled to receive and send letters, money orders, and valuables, and parcel post packages welghing not more than 11 pounds, when intended for international mail, free from all postal duties. Mail should be addressed to the pris- oner of war, giving his rank, the name of the prison camp where he is held, if It 1s known, followed by “Prisoner of War Mall vin New York.” All such mail should also bear the name and address of the sender. Parcel post packages for prisoners of war in enemy countries may not be sent by organizations or societies, and only one package a month may be sent. If more are received the one apparently from the prisoner's next of kin will be forwarded and the others held in New York pending communt- cation with the senders, with whose consent such excess packages may be sent to other prisoners of war who had received no packages during the month, Lacking this consent, the pack- ages will be returned to the senders. Only the following articles may be included in the packages: Belts not made of leather; hair, hand, tooth, shaving, and shoe brushes; buttons; hard candy; elgars and cigarettes; combs; crackers and biscuits; gloves not made of leather; handkerchiefs; pocket knives, needles and thread; pencils and pens; penholders; pins; pipes; safety razors and blades; shav- Ing soap, powder, or cream; shirts and scarfs; shoe laces; smoking or chewing tobacco; toilet soap; socks; sweaters; tooth powder, paste or liquid mouth wash; towels; under- wear; personal photographs; periodi- cals published prior to the beginning of the war. Letters and packages will be sub- Ject to careful censorship. Military instruction under officers and noncommissioned officers of the army will be provided in every Insti- tution of college grade which enrolls for the instruction 100 or more able-bodied students over the age of eighteen, beginning in September, 1918, The necessary military equip- ment will, so far as possible, be pro- vided by the government. There will be created a military training unit tn ench institution. Enlistment will be purely voluntary, ‘The enlistment will constitute the | student a member of the army of the United States, Hable to active duty at the call of the president. It will, how- ever, be the policy of the government not to call the members of the train- ing units to active duty until they have reached the age of twent7-one, unless urgent military necessity compels an earlier call. Students under eighteen, and therefore not legally eligible for enlistment, will be encouraged to en- roll in the training units. ‘Phe London Economist for February places the total gross debt of Great Britain nt 5,678,600,000 pounds ($27,- 636,000,000). ‘The French minister of finance tn presenting the budget for 1918 esti- mated the public debt of France on December 81, 1918, at 115,166,058,000 francs ($22,227,000,000). ‘The public debt of Italy at the end of 1917 is estimated at about 35,000,- 000,000 lire ($676,000,000). ‘The debts of the central powers are estimated as follows: Germany, $25, | 408,000,000; Austria, $18,814,000,000; and Hungary, $5,704,000,00. | Our own public debt {s now ground '$8,000,000,000, but more than half of this amount has been loaned to the al- | Hes.

FONZO DICKERSON HAS GOOD CHANCE OF RECOVERY. Fonzo Dickerson, son-inlaw of our popular townsman, Victor Walker, who was shot last Tuesday afternoon by John Gillespie in the pool hall on Nineteenth street near Curtis is we are glad to announce on the road to recovery. Physicians at the County Hospital where Dickerson was taken are very hopeful and the fact of the injured man’s heart being two inches to the right of its proper location thereby escaping penetration from the bullet, every hope is being entertain- ed for his recovery. Popular and very well liked, young Dickerson has the sympathy of his large circle of friends and his wife is being comforted by the constant attendance of her mother, father and sister, as also the numer. ous messages of sympathy received since the unfortunate incident. The acéused is held pending the result when a charge will formally be placed against him. We offer our sincere sympathy to the relatives of Mr. Dick- erson and wish him a complete restor- ation to health. FRED RATLEY, POPULAR TOWNS- MAN, OBEYS THE SUMMONS. The final summons when the curtain of life Zalls to rise no more, was calm- ly obeyed when Fred Ratley, popular and highly respected citizen of many years’ residence in’ Denver passed from this to eternity’s time last Mon- day morning, 11:30 o'clock, at his late residence 2531 Franklin street, The immediate cause of his death was an attack of paralysis which came upon him Thursday a week ago while visit- ing friends In company with his wife and from which stroke he succumbed four days after. Mr, Ratley was very active in politics and fraternal socie- ties for a number of years, and as a tonsorial artist was recognized in the superlative degree, but owing to fail- ing health for nearly three years he gave up business trying to recuperate, Funeral services were held from his late residence last Thursday, 1 p. m., undér the auspices of the Christian Scientists, and the large attendance of friends and acquaintances was an evi dence of the esteem in which he was held. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The deceased leaves to mourn his death, a wife, mother, four sisters, a brother and a host of friends who will not easily forget his com- panionship and friendly relationship. “Fred! thou art gone where the bless- ed ones are sleeping, Where there's no pain, no sorrow, mourning or e’en weeping.” ‘The Colorado Statesman offers its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved rel- atives commending them to Heaven's Consolation which health the wounded spirit and calms the troubled mind.

The program prepared for Mothers’ Day had been postponed until last Sunday, and when the pro- gram began about 4:15 o'clock the church was crowded to the very doors. ‘The mothers in the audience occupied reserved seats in the front pews. Chairman L, H. Lightner presided, and Mr, Luther Walton offered prayer. The pastor, the Rev. Dr. T. S. MeMor- fis, spoke briefly at the beginning of the program. ‘The audience was in good spirits, and encouraged each speaker with ap- plause as he came upon the platform to speak, The main attraction of the program was the appearance of Ma- dam Bessie La Bell, the gifted lady baritone, formerly of Chicago, who swept the audience clear off its feet by her splendid rendition of “Good- bye” and “Joan of Are.” It seemed as if the applause would never die away, and the singer was forced to respond with a short encore, With her deep, rich voice, her splendid in- terpretation, her pleasing manner and attractive personality the singer cap- tured the hearts of all her hearers. ‘The speakers were: Counsellor E. P. Blakemore, “The Significance of This Day; Counsellor T. O. Mason, “A Mother's Expectations;” Mr. S. B. W. May, ‘Some Things Mothers Have to Bear;” Mr, Jesse ,Douglass, “Joys ‘That Come Into the Lives of Moth- ers,” and Secretary Thomas J.

WAR AIMS OF GOVERN- MENT TO BE PRESENTED | BY COLORED SPEAKERS | Washington, May 19. —Through the office of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, |Special Assistant to the Secre- tary of War, it is announced that the War Department and the Speaking Division of the Com- mittee on Public Information, recognizing the importance of enlightening Negro public opin- ion as to the War aims of the Government, have decided to ap- point a Special Committee of Speakers, to be composed of leading Colored Americans who shall, as opportunity offers, seek to create and mobilize public opinion which shall back up the Government in the prosecution of the war. As has been stated, the issue of this struggle depends to a large extent on the way public opinion in the United States is stimulated and directed. It is indeed only through the United efforts of enlightened and enthu- siastic Americans that the full strength of the Nation. can be exerted, that victory can come to our righteous cause, and that America can accomplish those things for which she entered this conflict. Upon the leaders of our public opinion, therefore, rests a ‘responsibility heavier than per- haps ever rested upon any group of people in our entire history, It isa task which can be per- formed only by men and women who themselves are well inform- edand who cooperate with all patriotic organizations, gover- mental and private. which are unifying public opinion in sup- port of the national purpose. This patriotic campaign will be undertaken at an early date and zones of activity will be worked out whereby the sixty speakers named may have full opportunity to serve the United’ States Government in this hour of national emergency and need. | Dr, S, A.

One of the gang, Charles Knight drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in anine hour day. The previous highest record was 4,442 made by a workman ina Scottish shipyard. This is the way the | Newro is demonstrating his pa- triotism at home while his broth- ers in black in the army are Show- ing itin France. Mr. Knight is a highly respected and indus- trious citizen of Baltimore, a na- tive of Virginia. Telegrams announcing the new record were sent to Mr. Charles M. Schwab, Director-General for the Fleet Corporation and other officials connected with ship- building. Ifa bridge of ships will enable our soldiers to go ov- er, tobe fed and our allies to have supplies, the Negro will have alarge share in building those ships. Mr. Knight is our Jone of thousands of Negro ship- workers. At Newport News Yard alone there are about 8,000 employed. Commenting on this perfor- mance of work the Washington Times of May 18 said: ‘‘Not many months ago German pro- pagandists were spreading the ‘story that the colored people of the South, even as far North as this city, were preparing to revolt against the Government ‘and do what they could to hinder ‘the war. Day before yesterday there was a revolution, but it was | not the kind the Germans plan- ned. Charles Knight, colored, and seven colored helpers turned upside down every record that had ever been made for driving rivets into the hulls of ships. That is the kind ofa revolu- tion they may be depended on to carry on to the end of the war. Foreman Knight set an excellent example of efficiency to every citizen of the country, whether he be black or white.

Cassius 1. : | Gillette in Philadelphia recall- ed to the Record of that elty an interesting and romantic incident in the life of his soldier father-in-law, the noted General Hamilton of Colum- bus, Ohio, In the Civil war General Hamilton commanded a brigade in Sherman's army, being at the time one of the youngest brigndiers In the sery- fee, His command was a part of the host which, under Sherman, made the famous march to the sea, : After the army had passed through Georgia its route was deflected north- ward with the object of moving through the Carolinas, In North Caro- Mna during a halt at a certain point {n that state, General Hamilton was sent for by a young southern Indy, the daughter of a former governor of the state, deceased, a strikingly handsome young woman and a belle, The gen- eral, whose youthful, soldierly figure was well calculated to attract the at- tention of the falr sex, supposed he was summoned by the young woman to recelve a plea for the protection of her property, as it appeared she had been left an orphan in the possession of sev- eral large plantations, and repaired without delay to her residence, a state- ly southern mansion with a beautiful lawn and many fine old trees. She received him with the dignity and ceremony befitting his rank, and the general saw he was in the pres- ence of a beautiful brunette with an abundance of fire and spirit in her make-up. He expected to hear re- roaches, but was agreeably surprised \R oS i l ens I 3 Me Ad yee Was Wea iseaas | a Sia 4 es Received Him With Dignity. to find himself mistaken. The conver- sation at once proceeded on her part on a line direct. “General,” she said with a simple candor which at once enlisted his in- terest and sympathy, “all our young men, the flower of the South, have gone to the front and been killed in battle with your armies. None is left to whom we can turn, and I have sent for you to ask you what you intend to. do for us women who have been left without the hope of finding mates among our own people, There are none left whom I, speaking for my- self, would care to marry. Now, what are you going to do for us?” She looked at the general, her dark eyes seeming, as he afterward said, to be seeking to read his soul. After a short silence she eame to the point di- rect by proposing that he should mar- ry her, She explained that she owned large landed properties but, the slaves having been set free, she could not ob- tain the labor to till her lands. She needed ¢ man to lean upon. General Hamilton, somewhat taken aback by a proposal he had not reck- oned upon, rose to the necessity of the occasion, however, and with all the gallantry and sympathy inherent in an honorable man, expl:ined to her that there was a little woman left behind in Ohio to whom his heart was pledged and that he expected the wedding bells to ring for them when the cruel war was over, which he felt sure would be ANN NU i 5) \ ae |||) ) PRBS!) ))| We Ee tg puss & == Va N= WR = ale “al very soon. But he had an idea he could be of service to her, neverthe- less, He informed her that there was young colonel in his command, hand- some, brave and the soul of honor, who, so far as he knéw, had no ties, and if she were agreeable he would take pleasure in bringing him to her house and Introducing him. The young lady signified her willingness. The general went back to headquarters, sent for the young officer and after a private conversation with him they set out for the young Iady’s residence. ‘There they_were recelved with prover: bial Southern courtesy and dignity, and after the Introduction and the Inter change of compliments the genera! withdrew. “And, do you know,” sald General Hamilton in after years, “that in the closing days of the war those two ‘ene mies’ were happily married and after the colonel was mustered out he set tled there in the home of his bride and the last I heard of them they had sev: en children and everybody seemed te be merry and joyous on ‘the old plan tation.’ ”. Make no mistake about the place which this Decoration day of 1918 will hold in the history of the greatest repub- lic of all time. It is one of the red-letter days in the most tremendous chapter of the world life of the American people. : HIS LAST SALUTE Gen. Grant's Pathetic Farewell to the Brave Men Who Saved the Union. ih magnanimity of General I Grant's soul will live forever. Recently the question was put to His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, “What is civilized warfare?” Immedi- ately came the reply: “The war be- tween the States." And then the aged prelate added “Suppose General Grant had compelled General Lee and the captive Southerners to have gone to Washington and built the Unton a triumphal arch, what would the world have thought? And yet, that was exactly what happened to the Jews at the fall of Jerusalem which Titus’ arch commemorates.” When in the spring of 1884 the vet- erans of the Grand Army of the Re- public knew their beloved chieftain Was mortally ill, the soldiers, one and all, felt it would be a great privilege if once again they might see Grant's face. They wished to pay him some homage of sympathy, since, “A rose to the living is more than countless wreaths to the dead.” ‘This expression of love materialized in a plan to march by his home, on Memorial day, as General Grant was then in New York elty. Early on the morning of May 30 these old soldiers were awake, Burnishing accoutre- ments and medals of honor; unfurling old battle flags. The quick ear of Grant heard com- motion in the street.

He arose feebly and tottered toward the window. Notes of martial music floated out on the spring alr—“Yankee Doodle,” “America,” “The Star-Spangled Ban- ner,” “Marching Through Georgta.” ‘The present fades from view—the dying general sees again the smoke of Shiloh, the charge at Chattanooga, the white flag of Lee at Appomattox! ‘Tears come coursing down his cheeks as with upturned faces and uncovered heads he watches his old veterans file by. Grant slowly lifts his hand in salute. It Is his farewell forever to the army that had saved the Union.

Properly brewed tea is an important essential. Tea should not be Infused too long and should under no elrcum- stances be bolled. Ceylon tea is the tea best liked for iced tea and when serving it hot the tea ball is desirable. Green tea known by gun powder, Hyson and various other names, 1s much lighter In color, a drink of high fragrance, but a bit more harsh than black teas. The English know the value of fresh boiled water for the fragrant beverage. In many places certain springs or wells have water which makes a most superior tea, the tea makers going many rods to carry this precious wa- ter to have the right tasting cup of tea. Russians, we are apt to think, al- ways require a slice of lemon in their tea while as a fact they serve jam with their national drink, dropping it into the tea which is drunk from tumblers. In Morocco the leaves of thyme and verbena are added to the tea to lend it piquaney. The Persian likes his sweetened al- most to a sirup. The Burmese add garlic nnd other highly flavored sesa- me oll to theirs, Perhaps in America as in po other country cream in tea is the tea par excellence, We must bear in mind, however, that tannin In tea will act upon the delicate stomach lining and should be Infused just long enough. to extract the flavor.

SOME QUICK BREADS THAT SAVE WHEAT. 10 Plate of Palatable and Attractive Muffins Made Without the Use of Any Wheat Flour. EAT HOT BREADS AS WAR MEASURE Use of Substitutes Will Do Much to Relieve Wheat Situation and Aid Allies. SOME GOOD THINGS TO EAT Biscuits, Muffins, Waffles and Griddle Cakes Are Better Than Yeast Bread—Will Tickle Palate and Satisfy Stomach. Biscuits, muffins, griddle cakes, waffles—use these in place of yeast bread and save wheat. To make a yeast bread of good texture some wheat flour must be used to furnish the gluten necessary for this form of leavening. Quick breads leavened with baking powders or sour milk, or cream of tartar with baking soda, do not need this gluten, so we can use other cereal flours that do not contain gluten for them. Barley flour, corn flour, cornmeal, buckwheat flour, oatmeal, sweet potato flour, kafr, and feterita meal—all such can be used for quick breads. Their use will do much to relieve the wheat situation, as they require no wheat. They are delicious, too, so when you serve your family with hot breads made from the wheat substitutes you help your country and the allies, and at the same time furnish your family with good things to eat. For hot biscuits almost any of the substitute flours can be used, using the same amount of shortening and baking powder as for wheat biscuit and enough liquid to make a dough of the right consistency for rolling. Half corn flour and half cornmeal makes a good biscuit or half cornmeal and half peanut meal. This barley drop biscuit is delicious: Barley Drop Biscuits. 2 cupuhs barley flour. 4 tablespoonfuls fat. 6 teaspoonfuls bak $1 \frac{1}{2}$ teaspoonfuls salt. ing powder. Baked in a sheet this makes a good shortcake, buttered and served with fresh crushed berries or other fruit. When soy-bean meal or peanut meal are used the fat should be reduced, as both of these contain much fat. For muffins the standard recipe can again be used, substituting the other flours in place of all or part of the wheat flour. Rolled oats can be put through a food grinder and used as any other flour or meal in quick breads. Here is a delicious muffin made from oatmeal and corn flour: Oatmeal-Corn Flour Muffins. 1 cupful oatmeal. 4 teaspoonfuls baking 1 cupful corn flour. powder. 1 cupful milk. 1 tablespoonful melt- 2 eggs. ed fat. 1 teaspoonful salt. These muffins made from corn flour and boiled rice or boiled hominy grits are also delicious: Muffins. 1 cupful cold boiled 1 egg. hominy grits or 2 teaspoonfuls bak- bolled rice. jar powder. 1 cupful sweet milk. ½ teaspoonful salt. 1¼ cupful corn 1 tablespoonful melt- flour. ed fat. Griddle cakes and waffles are always popular. Buckwheat cakes made with baking powder in place of the old- fashioned yeast-raised buckwheat cakes are very good. Buckwheat Cakes or Waffles. 1½ cupfuls of buck- 1½ cupfuls milk. wheat flour. 2 eggs. 8 teaspoonfuls bak- 1 tablespoonful melting powder. ed shortening. 1 teaspoonful salt. Corn flour, barley flour, or one-half corn flour and one-half peanut meal or sweet potato flour can be used in the following recipe to make delicious, crisp, brown waffles: Waffles. 1½ cupfuls milk. 2 cupfuls flour. 2 eggs. 3 teaspoonfuls bak-8 tablespoonfuls fat. ing powder. 4 teaspoonful salt. WHAT YOU ARE MISSING Get acquainted with the delicious quick breads that can be made without wheat flour. If every family in the United States were acquainted with them, a wheat shortage would never pinch again, war or no war. By not being acquainted with them, you are missing an opportunity for sorely needed patriotic service. Besides, you are missing the opportunity of eating delicious bread. Get acquainted with quick breads made from cornmeal and wheat substitutes. It is a duty you owe your country—and a pleasure you owe yourself. 2x This is just an item about spinach and how you can help prevent a rather important loss in it. All that is asked of you is that you do not discriminate unfairly, when you go to market, in the matter of two kinds of spinach which are practically alike except in looks. Prickly seeded spinach is an old type that is coming back on the market this year because seed of the common spinach—Savoy-leaf—is scarce. It resembles the dandelion somewhat in appearance. It has just as much food value and as good a flavor as the smoother-leafed Savoy which you are more accustomed to buying, and can be cooked in the same way. Only a few years ago, before the Savoy became almost the only type grown commercially, the prickly seeded spinach was the most popular kind produced for winter use. So don't snub this old favorite. Specialists of the United States department of agriculture are eager to have this explanation spread broadcast because they fear a loss may result from the belief of many consumers and dealers that the prickly-seeded type is a new one differing in food value. Why Use Cornmeal? A 35-bushel yield of corn, which crop produces more human food than any other commonly grown on American farms, will supply nearly 150 pounds of protein needed for flesh building and more than 3,000,000 units (calories) of energy. Wherever conditions are favorable for extending corn acreage it is evident that considerable addition can be made to the supply of human food. Let it be urged once again, use more cornmeal. Millers should give special attention to the preparation of cornmeal of good quality and housewives should use increased quantities of this nutritious and palatable product as a substitute for wheat for bread making and other purposes. It is more practicable to increase the use of cornmeal in this country than abroad, for our people are familiar with corn as a food, while most European peoples are not, though now they try to do what they can. Savory Meat Savers. Beans, peas and other legumes are especially important articles of food at the time because of the large amount of protein they contain, which makes them valuable as meat savers. The legumes protein, however, is not a complete substitute for that supplied by meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, etc. The legumes will not, therefore, entirely take the place of meat and similar sources of proteins in the diet. They should perhaps be looked upon as meat savers rather than meat substitutes. They will perform their function as food better if used in connection with some of the other sources of protein named rather than alone. For this reason such dishes as the following, for example, are preferable to beans or other legumes alone: Pork and beans, Boston roast (cold baked beans and cheese), bean soup with boiled egg, stews of meat and legumes, bean croquettes with boiled egg, and bean chowders and purees with milk. FOREIGN An order-in-council makes it a criminal offense under the defense of the realm act to hoard silver in Ireland. Five hundred Sinn Feiners were arrested at various towns in Ireland May 18, according to a Dublin dispatch. German troops have occupied Bjorko, an island in the Gulf of Finland south of Viborg, and thirty miles northwest of Petrograd. The Dutch government has prohibited the sallings of all Dutch steamships from Dutch ports. Sailing vessels and coastal fishing craft are excepted from the ruling. Total absence of excitement in Dublin is reported in all dispatches from the Irish capital despite the Sinn Fein arrests. There are no outward indications that anything has happened. The trawler Allly sank a. German submarine, captured the commander and liberated the captain and crew of a Spanish sailing vessel, taken prisoner, a dispatch from Toulon said. China and Japan have signed the treaty concluded after negotiations lasting several days concerning the military operations to be conducted jointly by these two countries in Siberia. The earthquake at La Serena, capital of the province of Coquimbo, Chile, damaged a large number of buildings. Fire started in the center of the town, causing further loss. The shock was felt to a less extent in neighboring villages. Before the body of Maj. Raoul Lufbery was placed in a grave near a certain French village it lay in state in a room of a small frame building. Around it were hundreds of wreaths of flowers sent by American comrades, French aviators who had known him in the French army and by French army corps. Maj. Raoul Lufbery, American ace and former member of the Lafayette escadrille, was killed in an air battle over the American lines. The body fell in the American front line and was recovered, and was buried with full military honors, in which both American and French troops participated. Thomas W.

The one-man baseball club is a thing of the past in minor leagues, according to J. C. McGill, former Greeley owner and now head of the Indianapolis team in the American Association, who was in Denver en route to Los Angeles. Attempts to re-establish racing at Overland park this summer received an effectual quietus at the meeting of the mayor and city managers of Denver when the opinion was expressed by Mayor Mills that for the period of the war racing should not be permitted in Denver. Support to the mayor's opinion was given by each of the city managers. GENERAL Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, is critically ill at his home in Indianapolis, Ind., with Bright's disease. German women in the United States are required to register with chiefs of police or postmasters between June 17 and 26 under regulations issued by the Department of Justice. J. A. McGlynn, Non-Partisan League organizer, who alleged he was kidnapped recently near Miles City, Mont., was advised by a committee of seventy-five citizens, representing the home guards of Wibaux, that his presence in the country was no longer desirable and that if he wished to avoid violence he would leave at once. Two other alleged organizers, William Carver and Albert Mills, also were similarly advised and the trio left. The Rev. John D. Metzler, pastor of St. Boniface German Catholic church at Edwardsville, Ill., departed for parts unknown at the request of the local committee of the Council of Defense, following his refusal to allow the St. Boniface Ladies' Society's dishes to be used in entertaining a contingent of the Great Lakes naval training station band. Five hundred St. Louis saloonkeepers have received orders to appear before Excise Commissioner Lewis and produce evidence that they have purchased Liberty bonds. Those who are without bonds will be denied licenses. St. Louis has taken the stand that inasmuch as dram shops are a special privilege under the law, the owners should be 100 per cent patriotic. Aggressive patriotism of North American Indians have been responsible for a Liberty Loan record which may not be surpassed by any community in the United States. It was officially announced that Odanah, an Indian reservation village in Ashland county, Wis., subscribed thirty times its quota. The village quota was $3,000, and the total subscription was $106,000.

It was the state's trump card to show she shot Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts premeditatedly. Michigan and South Dakota have subscribed in full their respective allotments of $2,500,000 and $200,000 to the second war fund drive for $100,000,000 according to returns received at the national Red Cross, May 21. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR Turkish troops at Aidin, Asia Minor, have mutinied. The village of Ville-Sur-Ancre, north of Morlancourt, was recaptured by the British. Thirty prisoners and six machine guns were taken by the British north of Merville. British casualties to the number of 36,677 have been reported in the week ending May 21. A new German army, led by General von Below, is reported to have been definitely located in front of Aras. Adjutant Demeulemeester brought down his tenth aeroplane. In five days the Belgian aviator also set fire to three war balloons. A state of siege has been proclaimed at Prague, the Bohemian capital, by the police, and the military garrison has been reinforced. The allies, in the last thirty days, have destroyed more than a hundred enemy aeroplanes on the Italian front, it was officially announced at Rome. To Bethune has come the fate of so many other towns and cities of northern France, and it is now a mass of ruins as a result of the German bombardment. Beside the four raiders already announced as having been destroyed during the air raid on London Sunday night, a fifth was brought down and fell flaming in the sea. The attacks by the French near Locre, on the northern side of the Lys salient, and of the Australians before Amiens, appear to have been more successful than was at first understood. Between the Somme and Arras the British are harassing the Germans by rushing their outposts, and the French have been successful in similar operations in the region of Rheims, in the Champagne. On the Lys front between Mont Kemmel and the heights of Mont Rouge and Scherpenberg the French have greatly improved their positions in a forward movement along a front of two miles. During the aerial fighting Saturday twenty-seven German airplanes were destroyed, three were driven down out of control and three German balloons were burned, according to the report on aerial operations issued by the London war office. Twelve British machines are missing. WESTERN New Mexico people are contributing liberally to the Red Cross. The name of L. E. Luke of Dayton, Wyo., appears among the dead in the Canadian casualty list. The quota for Casper, V. yo., in the Red Cross drive was $18,000, and at the end of the second day over $25,000 had been subscribed. Casper turned out en masse to bid farewell to 101 Wyoming cowboys who were departing for Fort Benjamin Harrison to enter army service. An increase in passenger rates, beginning May 25, to 3 cents a mile, was announced by Denver railroad authorities. Information has been received from Director General William G. McAdoo that freight rates will also be increased, probably 25 per cent, and numerous economies will be put into effect. An additional one-half cent a mile will be charged passengers who travel in parlor and sleeping cars, exclusive of the charge made for the chair or berth. The railroads of the country will be put on a flat mileage basis, and, according to railroad men, the shortest route will be the cheapest. WASHINGTON The food situation in Germany, officials believe, is the most critical it has been for some time. Former Premier Hanotaux of France in an interview given in Madrid, Spain, predicts the United States will send 8,000,000 men to France. Col. Jake Dawson, a Texas turkey gobbler that recently sold for $10,000 in a Red Cross auction at Austin, was delivered as a gift to President Wilson by Representative Hardin of Texas. Evidence of plotting between German and Irish agents in this country for an uprising in Ireland has been uncovered by United States government agents and is partly responsible for the recent arrest of Irish leaders by the British government. America's first field army—approximately 200,000 men—has been formed in France. It is is understood to consist of two army corps of three divisions each, with Colonel Biornstad as chief of staff. Maj. Gen. Hunter Liggett is understood to command one of the army corps.

RENTALS INVESTMENTS DENVER, COLORADO BICYCLES DENVER, COLORADO THE LADY OF THE TREE I Sometimes we see a suit or dress which has been presented by its designer without any attempt to depart from good, accepted standards of style in its construction. The charm of such a design lies in other things than originality or startling novelty. It is embodied in the best use of all the means at hand to make a perfect garment of its kind. A lovely example of this conservative and elegant designing is shown in the suit of embroidered jersey—made for wear in midsummer—pictured here. It is in French gray with embroidery in white and will please every discerning woman. There is nothing to say of its design that is not told by the picture. The skirt and coat are both cut on the simplest lines and embellished with a wide band of embroidery. The belt, of the material, is narrower than is usual in this season's suits and finished with a small, prim bow at the front and the fastening of the coat at the Girl's Jacket- One set of ingredients that have been used with great success for children's summer frocks includes volle, wash satin, colored embroidery silks for fancy stitching, and little crochet buttons. They have been put together in many ways in frocks for little girls from three to eleven or twelve years old. Distribute a set to each of a half-dozen designers, or designing mothers, and the result will be another half-dozen fetching little dresses, each worked out according to the age of the little one who is to wear it and the fancy of its maker. A contee, or jacket effect, is likely to make its appearance among them. Anywhere, from the time she steps beyond the limit of babyhood until she is about to enter the flapper stage, coatee dresses are among the prized possessions of the little girl. Here is one of them for a little miss of eleven, made of the before-mentioned set of ingredients. If any one is able to combine them in better proportion, to better or as good effect, let her send in her recipe for the benefit of a waiting multitude of mothers. This little frock is of white volle with fancy stitching and smocking in blue. Blue wash satin is used for the bust and waistline is managed cleverly. It is a formal suit to be developed in either silk or wool jersey with silk having certain advantages. The skirt, worn with a pretty blouse of georgette crepe in the same color, makes a semidress costume equal to any requirement, in war times, and the coat will do service with any frock in place of a handsome sweater coat. Its collar is partly white, in the fashion of smart new sweaters and sweater coats, and its color makes it look well with any frock. For patriotic reasons many women will not buy wool. In this suit silk is not offered as a substitute for wool, but as a more appropriate material for the character of the suit. A gay parasol, made of flowered chifon, is in keeping with it and correspondingly dress footwear is provided for it in black kid pumps and gray silk stockings. No other material would do just as well as jersey for this suit. Dress of Voile collar and cuffs and for the narrow belt, and tiny white crochet buttons finish them off. Smocking takes care of the fullness of the frock at the front and provides, at the same time, a decoration that outlines the jacket. Feather stitching appears at the top of the hem and at the neck and across the smocked front of the dress. The sleeves are three-quarter length. For a tiny girl of four to six or seven years the blue satin may be left out and volle used for belt, collar and cuffs—outlined with leather stitching in blue. White lisle stockings and low black slippers are appropriately worn with this attractive little dress. It is durable and inexpensive and it is not at all difficult to make. All these are good points that will recommend it to sensible mothers. Julia Bottomley Brightening Sweaters.
