KELLY MILLER HOWARD ASTOUNDS GREAT DENVER A CHURCH WITH REV PART I ISSUES ENGAGING ATTENTION OF SPEAKER GIVES CLEAR-CUT BETTERMENT OF HUMANITY ILLS IN AMERICA—OPPORTU WIN RECOGNITION AS A RE GRO WILL BE GREATEST BEN W HEN the Dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C.—a man recognized and generally accepted as one of the master minds of our country—a mathe- matician whose propositions and calculations have resulted in opening up the mental powers of not only the people of his race, but also the "specially privileged class," to view the condition of this nation from the point of righteousness and the angle of justice, when he ascended the rostrum of Shorter A. M. E. church, led in procession by professional and business men, ministers of religion and other representative men and women, the audience rose to its feet to do honor and to express their confidence in leadership that was not afraid to express itself at such an opportune time, when the world is being set right for the DEMOCRACY that the Author and Dispenser of the great Christian doctrine gave us, but which in the years as they rolled by was so perverted as to cause the present tremendous happening to restore its principles. Howard Alumni of Denver with their college yells, etc., whooped up the preliminaries which ended in a piano selection by Miss Jenneice Chinn, Invocation by Rev. Lane and a brief introduction of the speaker by Rev. C. A. Williams, pastor of the church. Then commenced one of those delightful moments in one's existence when the darkness of the mental sphere begins to dissipate before the rays of intellectual light, with its concomitant cogent reasonings, logical deductions and powerful appeals, as Dean Kelly Miller, after acknowledgment of his introduction and expression of his gladness to be here lifted his head and with all the dignity of a statesman and leader magnetized the attention of his auditors as he proceeded on the ISSUES ENGAGING ATTENTION OF THE WORLD—HISTORY IN ERA AND EPOCH. Here, the lecturer gave clear definitions of ERA and EPOCH, and reviewed reformations brought about in the world from time to time, by and through the shedding of blood, proving the EPOCHAL situation, and referring to the French Revolution, the American Revolution, the Civil War and the present world's conflict—the wonderful changes that have occurred and are occurring. "Peace," said he, "never brought a remedy to those who are in need, and this is an illustration of ERA." Arguments convincing, on the POLITICAL DISFRANCHISEMENT of the Negro in the South, and his INDUSTRIAL DISFRANCHISEMENT in the North awakened the hearers of the lecturer to the true value of their position in this Great Republic, and made them realize that point of time action, oneness of purpose, unanimity of spirit—were necessary adjuncts to the accomplishing of the task before State Hst.

A number of propositions so enunciated that the dullest mind could grasp them, served as proofs of the common law of nature, MAN'S RIGHT TO BETTER HIS CONDITION, the same supported by our constitution but to a great extent practically denied us. This right to better the condition of a people generally leads to an exodus and therefore the speaker concluded, BETTER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE IS THE CAUSE OF OUR PRESENT EXODUS. Statistical accounts show a migration to this country of 25,000,000 within forty years and the economic advantage presenting itself in the past years and up to the present has been and is really the chief cause of the exodus of not only the foreign element but also citizens who go from place to place in the country. The speaker quoted the departure of the New Englander from his once favorite haunts to Indiana, Ohio and other localities without interference, and now for the same reason, the betterment of condition, our people bent with this resolution are meeting with various obstructions in their removal from the Southland. With emphasis the lecturer declared that "the rights, privileges and immunities secured for one Negro cannot be really secured until the whole race possess the same advantages," and he took the opportunity to offer a scolding or chastisement to those of his race who, because they are fortunate to be living in a state or municipality where the rigors of PREJUDICE and the oppression from MIGHT do not fail to their lot, they sit with contentment entirely unmindful that sooner or later their position would be unstable, and therefore he urges and strongly advocates as an absolute necessity EDUCATION FOR ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS, BLACK AND WHITE. "This will bring about national efficiency, as every privilege for educational training should be afforded every citizen, and with the mind educated, the heart responding in unison with other hearts to the success and welfare of this nation and the successful working out of the propaganda—the democratization of the world, the permanent blessings on the various races and nations of the world will come about and the kingdoms of this world shall become the Kingdom of Him whose doctrine teaches the one fraternity, THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN." NEGRO ATTITUDE IN THE PRESENT WAR. After referring to the grievances we have undergone owing to the numerous ill and unfair treatment; quoting Belgium in her day of might and power when her atrocities and acts of savagery and cruelty to the Negroes of the Congo in Africa stood unparalleled, the speaker showed that DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 22 1918 [Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a serious expression, looking directly at the camera. The background is a plain, dark color. The image is black and white. There are no visible texts or markings.]] PROF. KELLY MILLER. Dean of Howard University in the end, the moral advantage is with the weaker race, or nation, as to all appearances the Negro is becoming a great beneficiary of the war, and will be greater when it terminates; and the slogan of America and her associates in war is, Complete Restoration of Belgium now that she has become a vassal of the enemy, lost and ruined. What then should be our attitude if our nation and other nations can forget Belgium's treatment of the poor Africans and rush to her rescue in this her time of peril? We must then surrender our grievances if our nation must be victorious, as THE WHOLE IS GREATER THAN ITS PARTS, and this being a war of the United States and all the people, then we must be participants and do our utmost, especially when we think of the precedent established by our torefathers in every great struggle of this nation, and this being our country as much as the white man's, it is our bounden duty to protect our firesides. "But in surrendering our grievances let us enter into a bargain with PROF. KELLY MILLER, the white race," continued the speaker, "that he surrenders his racial prejudices, so that we go into this great combat as a people, a nation, a country possessed with the one determination of all true patriots to carry our country's cause to victory and to so disseminate the germs of democracy that will innoculate the world from this time and forever with the justice of the cause of humanity, with righteousness among the peoples of DRAFTED Y. M. C. A. MEMBER GOES TO CAMP FUNSTON. ALBERT McQUILLER of 2530 Curtis street left this week for Camp Funston to serve his country in a military capacity. Mr. McQuiller, although not many months a resident of this city, had many acquaintances and friends, having been identified with the Y. M. C. A., particularly in the Glee club. While the organization keenly felt his loss, yet the impression that our associate left on us, modified our regrets, when he said: "Fully nations, and a common sympathy permeating the human family that will obliterate color, caste and every objectionable and obstructive agency that tries to impede the progressiveness of THE HUMAN FAMILY, HERE AND ELSEWHERE." Shorter sacred edifice rang out with applause loud and long, the audience rising a second time and joining in the singing of the patriotic song, "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," the Benediction was pronounced, the crowd given an opportunity to shake hands with the lecturer, and then he was ushered to the banqueting room, where in association with leading citizens of Denver, Mr. Gross, toastmaster, filled his position in an admirable manher, while the Howard Alumni, Loyal Legion and N. A. A. C. P. were host to Dean Kelly Miller and his admirers. The COLORADO STATESMAN is always proud of such leaders, as they in conjunction with the press of this country, free from taint and wrong influence, will be the means of removing the scales from the eyes Dean of Howard University of either race, make straight the crooked paths, and open such a way of ingress to the freedom of the true democracy that will perpetuate itself when all people shall be the direct beneficiaries. We were glad of the opportunity to hear him, and on behalf of the citizens of Denver we express appreciation for his services and wish him a longer career of usefulness to his race, his country and the world. realizing my duty to my country, and the American nation of whom I am a part, I go in spite of the warm-hearted friends I have left behind, resolving on the fullest participation to record victory over the enemy and safety from his clutches." A number of Glee club members and others of the association gave Mr. McQuiller a rousing send-off at the Y. M. C. A rooms last Tuesday, when a program consisting of songs and short talks was rendered, refreshments served and the handshaking, "goodbye and God bless you" finishing touches separated us (we hope temporarily) from our brother. --- 'Black Devils' With Yank Forces Anxious for First Bout With Hun (BY FLOYD P. GIBBONS.) WITH the American Army in France, May 25.—(Delayed by the censor.)—France has sent her "blue devils" to America. America has now reciprocated by sending her "black devils" to the western front. The "Ole —th," but now bearing a totally different and unmentionable regimental number, is in training behind the lines in France. I have just returned from a visit to their camp. Daily I have watched from the hill slopes our sturdy blacks as they indulged in machine gun and automatic rifle practice. The reports of the machine guns across the valley sounded strange because the men of the "old —th" have introduced syncopation into their shooting and are now able to strike the beats of "Walking the Dog" with 100 rounds. The regiment's inspiration to great deeds on the front was explained to me by a Negro lieutenant. "One of my men came to me several days ago," he said, "and asked me why I had joined the army. He reminded me that I was above draft age and he wanted me to tell him what I was fighting for. I told him I was fighting for what the flag meant to the Negroes in the United States. I told him I was fighting because I wanted other oppressed people to know the meaning of democracy and enjoy it. I told him that millions of Americans fought for four years for us Negroes to get it and now it was only right that we should fight for all we were worth to help other people get the same thing. Prove Right to Equality. Prove Right to Equality. "We are supposed to have had equal rights for fifty years now, but many times we have thought that those rights have been denied us, and many times it has been held that we have never done anything to deserve them. "I told him that now is our opportunity to prove what we can do. If we can't fight and die in this war just as bravely as white men, then we don't deserve an equality with white men, and after the war we had better go back home and forget about it all. But if we can do things on me front; if we can make ourselves felt; if we can make America really proud of the old —th, then I am sure it will be the biggest possible step toward our equalization as citizens. That is what I told him and I think he understood me. The whole (censored) has the same spirit." And so the strife for distinction has been inculcated to the ranks of the old (censored). The men are looking forward to being known as the "Black Devils," the same as the chasseurs have earned the right to the Blue Devil nickname. These Negro officers and men have tasted a new equality since arriving in France. In the village square of a small hamlet serving as headquarters I saw them mingling on the easiest terms with the most cultivated French officers. And as officers, they carry out their bearing in their personal appearance. Among no American officers in France now, even the nattiest whose habitat is the G. H. Q., far from the dust and mud of the camps, have I seen more highly-polished shoes and leathers or better pressed uniforms. Pride in the wearing of clothes is something which these Negro officers did not have to learn from orders. Anxious for Scrap. "Yes! I guess dat's so," he said. "But if this yere bunch cain't kill more Germans in a night than that New York outfit can in a month, then I'm a mighty mistaken black man. You know, tain't right the way they keeps us back here trainin'. Why, we been in France for weeks and they say we cain't get to the front for a while yet. Say! Somebody else's got our place up there just now. But just wait till we get there! Them New York boys is got their white officers, but we've got officers of our own color and if we cain't do something under them, they'd better take the guns away from us and give us shovels." Everyone in the army has near the old story that Negroes make fine troops if led by white officers. The old -th is making a great effort to show that they will be just as good soldiers, if not better, under officers of their own color. These same officers, as far as I could see, received the same respect from their men as their men would give white officers, and I have seen white American officers and officers of this (censored) drinking beer together in a nearby town. They promise to let us hear from them pretty soon. LYNCHING RECORD. When Representative Moores addressed the House a few days ago in support of his anti-lynching bill he gave figures relative to the number of lynchings in this country that were startling. No statistics prior to 1885 were obtainable, but newspaper figures show a total of 3,529 persons lynched between 1885 and 1912. The World Almanac gives the lynchings since 1912 and up to November, 1917, as 671, making a total of 4,210 in thirty-three years. During the last ten years Georgia led the states with a total of 112 lynchings. Texas was second with 89. Mississippi third with 67. Florida fourth with 57 and Louisiana fifth with 52. Then came Illinois, a northern state, with 48, or three more than Alabama. The table does not show that a single lynching occurred in Indiana during the period of ten years. The World Almanac classifies the persons lynched for a period of eight years. The total was, 420, and the South had 403 as against 17 for the North. This list did not include the East St. Louis lynchings, which gave Illinois its place in the hangman's column. Of those lynched, 352 were Negroes and 52 were whites. Sixteen were Mexicans. The men numbered 406 and the women 14. At the request of Mr. Moores, Secretary of State Lansing prepared a table showing the amount of money this country has paid out as indemnities for mob violence. From 1831 to 1913, inclusive, indemnities amounted to $792,499.39. This money was paid to France, Spain, China, Italy, British subjects and Mexico. This, of course, only went to aliens. It does not include the thousands of Americans who have been hanged by mobs or the property destroyed. These figures, if nothing else, ought to convince the country that the bill proposed by Representative Moores is timely.-Indianapolis News. NO 35 FOREIGN Admiral Sir Alfred Padgett died suddenly in London. The failure of the Austrian drive involves possibilities of the utmost importance to the allies. Six submarines built for the Chilean government in the United States arrived at an Ecuador port. Eleven persons were killed, including four children, in a German air raid over the French city of Calais. From January, 1915, to the end of May, 1918, 407 ships sunk by the Germans in British waters have been salvaged. The official Gacetta of Madrid publishes a royal decree declaring Oct. 12, the anniversary of the discovery of America, a national feast day. An incoming steamer reports having picked up a floating mine about four miles off Ship Shoal Island, Va., which is some distance north of Cape Charles light. The bread ration for the city of Vienna has been lowered from 1,260 to 630 grammies (less than one and a half pounds) weekly, according to a Copenhagen dispatch. The Austrians are reorganizing their effectiveness along the British line of the Italian front after their "severe defeat," according to an official statement on the operations of the British with the Italians. Rumors that Villa followers captured Parral, in circulation at Juarez, were partially confirmed by a report from Chihuahua City saying Villa and his men entered Parral Friday, looted the town and were driven out by federal troops. "After three days of attack the Austrian offensive has not secured the objectives hoped for on the first day," said Andrew Bonar Law in the House of Commons in London. He added that there was reason to believe that the initiative for the Austrian offensive had come from Berlin. Mrs. Lily Busch, widow of the late Adolphus Busch of St. Louis, arrived at a Cuban port from Germany on her way to the United States. Harry D. Hawes, of St. Louis, who accompanied Mrs. Busch, denied reports that she had donated $1,000,000 to war relief in Germany. Australia's tungsten is now controlled by the British government. To encourage the supply the government of Australia has guaranteed a fixed price per unit, the price to continue for ten years after peace is declared. This gives capital and the prospector something to steer by. **SPORT** An auto race will be run from Cheyenne to Denver on July 22.

Cox, 40 years old, of Omaha, was killed by falling under the wheels of a Union Pacific train at Corlett, six miles west of Cheyenne. Her 6-year-old son, who was with her, saw her fall and his cries attracted the porter. Mrs. Cox was on the way to Burley, Idaho, to visit her sister. As a matter of justice to the farmer, according to a telegram received at Chicago from the federal food administration, the advance in freight rates effective June 25 will make necessary an advance of a few cents a bushel in the price of wheat at the principal Mississippi valley and eastern terminals. The tremendous majority of Gov. J. A. A. Burnquist over Charles A. Lindbergh for the Republican nomination for governor of Minnesota was steadily increased and may be 75,000. Judge W. L. Comstock of Mankato was nominated by the Democrats by a heavy majority. Percy Bayliss, former acting consul general of Great Britain at Moscow, who was driven out of Russia several months ago by the Bolsheviki, was found dead at San Francisco.

DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR The number of prisoners taken by the Austro-Hungarians in their new drive on the northern Italian front has been increased to 30,000. Several attempts by the Germans to penetrate the American lines in the Marine sector have been smashed by the American machine gun fire. The prisoners taken by the Italians Monday at one point amounted to 1,550, which would bring their total and those of the allies well in the neigh- hood of 5,000. In their attacks between Zenson and Fossalta, along the Piave, the Austrians have been stopped everywhere, says an official statement issued by the Italian war office. Approximately 1,000,000 Austrians have been hurled against the Italian front. Losses which are described as frightful have been inflicted upon the Austrians in the areas where the principal fighting has taken place. Unofficial advices are to the effect that the Austrians have thrown fourteen bridges across the Piave along a front of about fourteen and a half miles, between the Zenson loop and the Conegliano railway bridge, but that the Italians are heavily engageeing the enemy at all points and have the pontoons under their gunfire. Eighty thousand Germans were killed, wounded or made prisoner during the offensive between Montdidier and Noyon, Capt. Andrew Tardileu, who accompanied Premier Clemenceau to the front on Sunday, told Marcel Hutin, editor of the Echo de Paris, upon his return to Paris. "This is a figure which should make even Ludendorff reflect," he said. Between the southern edge of the Villers-Cotterets forest and Chateau Thierry American troops celebrated the anniversary of the arrival of American troops in France by repulsing violent enemy attempts to drive them from their recently won positions at Belleu wood and Bouresches. The enemy attacked after a heavy bombardment, but was driven back with severe losses by the defensive fire of the Americans, who took prisoners and machine guns. On the front in France the fighting activity has been limited to local German attacks at isolated points. Against the French along the Matz river the enemy failed. The same result attended a strong effort to penetrate the American lines at Xivray, east of St. Mihiel. The American artillery fire broke up the enemy attack with heavy losses and only a small force reached Xivray, where it was wiped out by the Americans. An attempt to raid the new American sector in Alsace Sunday was broken up by machine gun and riffle fire.

He was hunting rabbits with an old pistol. American troop aid for Italy will be forthcoming soon. Attorney General Gregory has refused to approve the form of contract between the railroad administration and the new consolidated express company without some provision for restoration of competition after the war. The trail of the government's pursuit of illegal profiteers on war contracts led to the arrest in New York of Lieut. James C. Staley, a reserve army officer, on a charge of accepting money for a contract which he promised to procure. Congress as a whole is strongly in favor of changing the draft ages, thus removing the danger that deferred classes will be drawn upon next year. A dispatch reaching the State Department from Stockholm quotes a report from Petrograd saying the whole of the Ukraine is on the eve of a revolt against Germany. Major General Morrison was assigned to the command of the Western department, with headquarters in San Francisco, to relieve General Treat, who goes to Italy as head of the American military mission.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT How Many? THE MAY CO. AMERICAN ARMY TO GO FURTHER IN THIS RESPECT THAN HAS ANY OTHER. How the War Department Informs Relatives of Killed and Wounded Soldiers—Radio and Buzzer Operation Taught in 600 Schools. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington—Motorization of field artillery will be carried to a greater extent in the American army than in any other army engaged in the war. Not only will a far greater amount of motor equipment be provided in proportion to the strength of the army, but it will be used for work where armies now in the field depend solely upon horse power and man power. The ordnance department has succeeded in developing such types of tractors that, exclusive of the heaviest field artillery mounted on railroad carriages, all American artillery will be motorized, with the exception of some of the three-inch gun batteries. The problem of motorization of field artillery is a difficult one, which explains why it has not been carried out to a greater extent than has been the case with the armies that have been fighting in Europe for the last three years. The possible output of tractors for the transport of field artillery in the United States is practically unlimited, whereas the supply of horses is at present limited and is becoming more so each month. Relatives of soldiers named in casualty lists forwarded from France ordinarily are notified within 24 hours after receipt of the lists, according to a statement authorized by the war department. A "statistical division," with a staff of officers and a corps of stenographers, gives all its time to the maintenance of files of soldiers' names and addresses. This division notifies relatives. A copy of the roster of each contingent sailing to join the expeditionary forces is filed in card index fashion, each card bearing the name of one soldier, his organization, and the name and address of parent or other relative or friend designated by him to be notified in emergency. When a casualty list is received from General Pershing each name caned from the American expeditionary force is listed with the emergency address on file in the card index. As rapidly as the new list with emergency addresses is built up the telegraph clerks get duplicates. These clerks already are supplied with blank telegraphs which require only the relative's address, name of sender, nature of casualty and the date, and filling in the blank spaces they get the telegraphs off as quickly as possible. In addition to maintaining the telegraph blanks for the sake of speed the statistical division is supplied with sets of form letters to be filled in and mailed when further details are available. While relatives are generally in receipt of information within 24 hours after the cables are received, delays are sometimes due to clerical errors caused by the fact that names must pass through so many hands in France and in America, incorrect emergency addresses turned in by soldiers, removal of families to addresses other than those listed, and the occasional necessity for cabling back to General Pershing to verify a name or to obtain an address. Aside from these four causes of delay the only reason for the failure of relatives to receive word at once is military consideration. General Pershing may, at his discretion, withhold a casualty list until he is positive it will have no military value to the enemy. Through the operation of repair shops for clothing and other articles, a considerable saving in reissue of new equipment has been made at army camps. One camp quartermaster estimates the issue of new clothing has decreased one-third, and of shoes 40 per cent. At a base repair shop for clothing an average of 2,831 garments were repaired daily during the first 18 days of May. In addition to the work done at base repair shops, many thousands of garments are repaired at camp shops, one shop being located at each large camp. During April nearly 170,000 pairs of shoes were repaired in army repair shops. At present practically all hat repairing is done by contract, the price varying from 50 to 90 cents per hat. This work is in charge of the conservation and reclamation division of the quartermaster corps, which has been in operation only during the last four months. The food administration is making a careful survey of the national ice situation in order that it may be prepared to meet any sudden shortages in particular communities. The destruction of ice plants by fire, breakdown of machinery, or the exigency of the weather may at any time cause a serious shortage. Incomplete returns from 25 states show that nearly 3,400,000 women have registered for war work under the woman's committee of the council of national defense. The demand for specialists in the army is increasing daily. Mechanics and technicians of all kinds, including radio and buzzer operators, are needed by the signal corps. In nearly every large city the federal board of vocational training, through local school authorities, has established schools of radio communication where men of draft age who have not been called may receive a preliminary course in the operation of radio and buzzer instruments. There are about 600 of these schools where instruction is given, usually in the afternoons and evenings. It takes about 200 hours for a student of average ability to obtain a speed of 20 words a minute, sending and receiving. Electrical engineers and men with good fundamental training in engineering or physics are particularly in demand for signal corps work. Men of satisfactory qualifications are given three months' training in special schools, and have every opportunity to take examinations leading to promotion. Men who have had experience as electrical repair men, wiresmen and mechanics are also desired for assignment to special schools and later to field organizations. When the five new regiments and 19 battalions of railway engineers now being organized are put on duty there will be 50,000 Americans engaged in railroad construction and operation in France. After the United States entered the war one of the first requests transmitted to this government by the French mission was for assistance in strengthening the French railways. Nine regiments of railway engineers, whose organization was started before General Pershing sailed, were in France by August, 1917. Six of them have been engaged in construction work, building and rebuilding railways, building docks and rearranging terminal facilities. The other three regiments have been engaged in operation, and some of the railway troops have been on the fighting line. The additional troops will be used partly for construction and maintenance and partly for operation. A total of $160,000,000 has been spent on railway materials alone. Included in the purchases are 1,727 locomotives, 22,630 freight cars and 359,000 tons of steel rails. Reports are reaching the children's bureau of the department of labor from the hundreds and thousands of women who during the last 60 days have been weighing 5,000,000 children of America, and the way in which permanent poverty menaces the healthy growth of the children of the nation is being revealed as a result of the weighing and measuring campaign. Workers have been so much aroused by the conditions revealed that they request information regarding follow-up work. Many of the families are described as being pitifully poor. One mother had a new baby wasting away for want of milk. The mother was told to drink one quart of milk a day herself and to give one quart a day to each of her six children. Milk is 16 cents a quart, and the family income $15 a week. The women writing to the children's bureau said they did not know how to solve the problem. The children's purse has been compelled to reply to such reports that federal appropriations are available only for the families of men actually in the military or naval service. Nearly 157,000 negro soldiers are now in the National army. Of these 1,000 are line officers holding commissions of captain and first and second lieutenants. There are about 250 colored officers in the medical and dental reserve corps. The army now includes two divisions of colored troops, which when fully constituted will include practically all branches of the service; infantry, engineer, artillery, signal corps, medical corps and service battalions with men technically trained in all branches of scientific work. There are now openings in the veterinary corps for negroes skilled in veterinary and agricultural work. Arrangements have been completed to send negroes registered but not yet called to schools and colleges this summer for training in radio engineering, electrical engineering, auto mechanics, blacksmithing and the operation of motor vehicles. Scores of firms throughout the United States have been penalized for violations of rules of the food administration. In some cases licenses to operate have been suspended; in others, contributions to the Y. M. C. A., Red Cross, and other organizations have been accepted in lieu of suspension of license. Among the more numerous violations are sales of flour without substitutes; refusal to accept delivery of foodstuffs previously ordered; operating without licenses; excess sales of sugar; carrying more than a normal 30 days' supply of sugar; failure to use the proper amount of flour substitute in bread making; and profiteering. Next to the aggregate number of subscribers, perhaps the most striking feature of the third Liberty loan was the support given it by the farming and rural populations of the country, according to a statement by the treasury department. Not only did the farmers purchase liberally of the bonds, but the rural communities as a rule were more prompt in completing their quotas of the loan than the larger cities. More than 20,000 communities in the United States subscribed or oversubscribed their quotas, many of them on the first day of the campaign.

THERE is not much to add to our expression of welcome to this distinguished visitor to our city, as like men of his order, their works precede them, their acts accompany them and their good deeds (unlike the poetic version) live after them. The inspiration left with us, the encouragement given us, the increase of our ambition, the broadening of our ideas for the larger human liberty Mr. Ed. Waddy of Eaton, Colo., was a visitor at the Second Baptist Church, Sunday. Miss Ruby Gaskin has returned from Denver after a few days' visit with friends in that city. the advices offered for preparation and training for the GREAT MARATHON in which we must be participants or be forever blotted from the role of contestants—all these will help to immortalize this teacher and leader of American citizens and set up in him a standard, an example worthy of emulation. In his address to us last Monday evening he never failed to tell us of our shortcomings, showed us how to straighten the crooked paths to make life worth living, and to help ourselves to enjoy real and practical citizenship by qualifying to meet the emergencies as they present themselves advantageously to us. That qualification which will give us representation in the halls of Congress, in the high tribunals of the country, in every ramification of business and learning, when we will be governed by our consent, as every citizen, black and white, will be educated to the standard to appreciate good government, and cursed be he who attempts to disrupt or destroy the peace, harmony and national relationship that must of necessity result from a people whose superstructure is erected on the solid foundation—MY COUNTRY, TIS OF THEE, INCREASE OF LIGHT, LOVE AND LIBERTY. THE COLORADO STATESMAN declares with pride to the American and every other nation that DEAN KELLY MILLER IS ANOTHER MOSES OF OUR RACE. Mrs. Peggie Anderson, who has been ill for the past four months, is improving slowly. Mrs. Lillian McMickin of Denver was here last week visiting her parent, Sergeant J. A. Jones. Rev. W. H.

Convened in Salt Lake City June 11 to 13 at the Calvary Baptist church. The credential committee reported fifty-six delegates, which shows our state federation is growing. The convention was favored with an address by Mrs. W. N. Williams (chairman of the Women's State Council of Defense), which was interesting and instructive. Many other creditable numbers were rendered by the delegates and friends. Poor people! They did not know the game that is being played, but possibly they can discover it in the Times editorial of Monday, June 17th—"War of Some Benefit." Now we have given credit to the white press whenever they come out, and feeling the stroke of conscience denounce an un-American treatment of the Negro, or an unconstitutional movement towards his progress, or an interference with his rights and privileges as provided for Americans; and the same reason for not hesitating to make such acknowledgement, guides us to express our disapproval of anything that is distasteful, especially when it is being used to damper the spirits of those who are so true to our country's cause as to be laying their lives on the ALTAR OF SACRIFICE for our country in foreign lands. The art exhibition was beautiful, consisting of many articles of embroidery, tating and crocheting. A prize was given for the neatest and most accurate work. The first prize being awarded Mrs. V.

The Ladies' Aid and Mission Society of the Wall Avenue Baptist Church of Ogden was given the honor for the most monies for ways and means. The members of the Federation have been very active in war work and Red Cross work. The president, Mrs. Gertrude Lancaster, was duly elected delegate to the National in Denver. Thursday evening was spent in a reception and program and was enjoyed by all. For information of those who have not read the article we quote the following, and then we will present some facts relative to the editor's immaculate race, whose cleanliness, as far as we have experienced, does not show such a vast superiority over ours, as the editor shows in his article: "Camp life," says the editor, "is likely to give Southern Negroes a good deal of educational experience that they might not get any other way—this in addition to the physical benefit derived from military training. For example, they will learn SANITARY LAWS, OF WHICH MOST OF THEM KNOW NOTHING. They will learn the importance of cleanliness and fresh air and how to take care of themselves. They will have the examples of their officers in the matter of deportment, and no one is quicker than the Negro to recognize the laws of courtesy and polite customs and to model himself accordingly. He is not likely to select the wrong examples among his white associates. Arrangements are being made for special care and entertainment for Negro troops, etc." PHILETUS NORRIS. DENVER CLUB WCMEN RETURN FROM CONVENTION AT CHEYENNE, WYOMING. And this makes us question the white man's sincerity as regarding 12,000,000 of Americans, who not being fortunate to be white in color become the criterion for the kind of comment and reflection upon their decency. Could this editor have heard the famous lecturer, Kelly Miller, last Monday evening—the same day that this article appeared—he would have gotten the proof of the white man's inability to govern, as his action to ignore, deprive and endeavor to keep in ignorance from educational qualifications the same classified Negro—SOUTHERN NEGRO—generally results in his having to make special arrangements and special care to bring him to a standard to be equal to or to successfully pass the white man's test. The use of the term SOUTHERN NEGRO, any intelligent Northern, Eastern or Western Negro can see, is to show the difference or superiority of every Negro who does not live in the South, to his brother, and in the scheme which is carefully devised, the plan which is skillfully operated, to a certain extent has worked successfully, hence he endeavors to draw the line. The Fifteenth Annual Convention of Federated Colored Women's clubs of Colorado and jurisdiction met in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The session was very good as peace and love were with us all and especially our beloved president. Each club from Denver was well represented by three members. each one. We felt very proud to have gone to Cheyenne as we were so well entertained by the Sunshine club. They are five in number, but large in mind. Those of us who have seen the white man in the South, in the north and other points, know that in certain environments he acts in disobedience to the laws of hygiene as anyone else, and certain diseases result from his unclean condition that may not be found in the other side. We are now back to do our bit for the National. Before the government was convinced of the unhealthy conditions in mining camps and such places, can one consciously say that the whites in the South or anywhere else showed better evidence of cleanliness than anybody else? View him in New Orleans—the class we think that is deserving of being a beneficiary of sanitation thru the war, and who will also learn the importance of cleanliness and fresh air, and get an honest conviction as to his superiority over his dark-skinned fellow citizen. We are afraid that the same spirit which caused the segregation at the White House of wash bowls and toilets, resulting in the resignation of our highly esteemed and noble citizen, who filled a national official position as it was beneath the dignity of his office and would not permit his subordinates to be thus treated, exists today; but thanks to the communications from other white sources, who not only praise our Southern troops for bravery, etc., but who specially commend them for their deportment, cleanliness of apparel, quarters and in many instances superior to the boastful super-race (?

But the other day a railway order was issued reflecting on the cleanliness of the Negro dining-car men—NOT OF THE SOUTH, but all over the country—"clean shirts to be worn, no more sleeping in dining cars." We know it would be the exception to the rule to see a dirty appearing dining-car waiter, and as regards the sleeping in the car, where were the white man's ideas of sanitation and cleanliness all these years? This is the epochal period. This is the upheaval. It has thrust itself so suddenly on us and we can hardly conceive the possibility of the wonderful results. His spare moments are being occupied in the best way to dishearten us, as the white man feels and knows this is not the time to analyse the rainbow and its colors, but he must keep up the old game, LEST WE FORGET. Read other portions of this paper for other white men's opinions. Mr. Editor, and you will see that others will benefit beside the SOUTHERN NEGRO in the way you think and recommend. mous action in the welfare of the church places them in the highest estimation of church circles, while their contributions and whole-hearted support will make their work a permanent success in Denver. The pastor has not yet decided, but the general expression as heard on every hand is for his retention. HONORED BY 367TH REGIMENT. Former Collector of Internal Revenue Is First Honorary Colonel in New York, June 6.—Charles W. Anderson, supervising agent of the State Department of Food for Markets, and who was for ten years Collector of Internal Revenue for the New York district, has been made an honorary colonel of the 367th United States Infantry. Although the custom is common in European countries, this is the first time that any man has been so honored in this country. It was awarded to Anderson as a mark of appreciation of his services in organizing colored regiments and in recognition of the manner in which he has aided the government in many other ways. At the outbreak of the war he collected names of colored men of fighting age and organized a meeting to encourage enlistments. He introduced Colonel Haywood, commander of Negro regiments in the Spanish-American war, to the assemblage, and the meeting marked the formation of the Fifteenth Regiment of Infantry, the regiment which has been mentioned frequently for daring and courageous service in France. Working with Colonel Moss, commander of the 367th, he has been instrumental in the building of the new auditorium at Camp Upton. Anderson was one of the first to sign the "Stand by the President's letter, and has in every way combatted the influence of a few leaders who strove to lessen the participation of the colored man in the war. He has been rendering service as a volunteer member of Draft Board No. 139, since July, 1917. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. East 23rd Ave. and Washington Street. Presbyter: J. A. Thos-Hazell, S.T.B.

In pursuance to the call of the Calvary Presbyterian Church to Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell for the pastorate of the church, the congregation of the People's Church met in a special session last Saturday night to discuss the advisability of the Presbyter resigning his present cure for the Calvary field. In a most democratic way every member participated in the discussion of the subject. The work of the past was reviewed. The present status of the church was noted. Its future prospects anticipated. The congregation voted in the absence of the pastor to continue the services of the pastor if it be his will to remain. Rev. Thos-Hazell has not yet finally decided as to his acceptance or rejection of the call. His decision will be made known in the near future. As a public acknowledgement of services rendered to the church and choir by a number of people who are not members of the church, the pastor, Rev. J. A. Thos-Hazell, will launch a mid-summer complimentary concert. The participants apart from choir members who are communicants of the church will be those persons who are and have been members of the choir with their church membership at other places. The probability is that this concert will be the last given under the directorship of the minister of the People's Church. The public is cordially invited to cooperate to make this venture a great success. Dr. S. A. Huff, Office Phone is York 2313. . If not reached at office or Home, York 8374J.

You will find that your grocery bills, your shoe bills, your clothing bills, your rent or taxes and every other item that enters into YOUR OWN maintenance have increased. With very little figuring you will find —that although your wages have been increased that your money buys less than it did a few years ago. Your increased income has been absorbed by the increased cost of what you and your family need to eat, wear and make your home comfortable. Although you may have received a 10 per cent increase in wages you are really working on a 15 per cent reduction, because most of the things you buy have increased from 20 to 30 per cent. The buying power of a nickel today has shrunk to $3\frac{1}{2}$ cents, compared to what you would buy a few years ago. Street Railways of America with a fixed rate of fare are now trying to solve the same problem that you are facing to increase the income or reduce expenses.

Materials used by the street railways for repairs, upkeep, equipment, new cars, motors, tracks and extensions have increased from 40 to 400 per cent during the past few years. Most of the material and equipment increases were caused by war conditions over which the manufacturer and consumer had no control—increased cost of raw materials and wage increases brought about through the shortage of skilled help and high wages being paid in the industrial plants.

Intermarriage of Races There is plenty of historic precedent for the intermarriages of warriors and the women of the lands they enter.

Edgar, seven years old, ran into his home the other day and informed his mother that Harold, next door, was at that moment getting a licking, his mother having caught him smoking "That's one thing you don't have to be licked for, isn't it, Edgar?" said his mother proudly. "You don't smoke, do you?" "Naw, I should say not," replied Edgar. "Why, gee, ma, I ain't smoked for more'n two years."—Kansas City Star. How Caesar Made Name Immortal. How Caesar Made Name Immortal. Arithmetic was so snarled up in 45 B. C. that Julius Caesar set to work reforming the calendar. He decreed that every year whose date number was exactly divisible by four should contain 866 days and all the other years 865 days. Incidentally he shifted New Year's from March to January, and named July after himself, by which delicate compliment he makes us write his name for 31 days every year. Few Really Think. When a man is strong physically, hard physical work is a joy. When he is weak, it is a painful ordeal. The same applies to a man who is either strong or weak mentally, and has to do hard mental work. By mental exercise you may strengthen the brain, as by physical exercise you strengthen the muscles. Not one person in a thousand thinks—that is to say, thinks hard. They only think they think. Growing Arbutus Indoors. Hitherto it has not been found practicable to tame the wild mayflower or trailing arbutus, but discovery has recently been made of the fact that it will grow luxuriantly in pots if supplied with soil composed of half-rotted oak leaves mixed with 10 per cent of sand and a liberal quantity of small, broken bits of old flowerpots for drainage. Intended No Harm Lucy was playing up on the lawn with her little puppy when the dog next door came up wagging his tail in a most friendly way. The little pup stuck his tail between his legs and started for the house. Lucy caught him, saying: "Don't be afraid, pup; he won't hurt you; he just come over to introduce himself." Wasted Time. School hours are business hours. The manufacturer or merchant cannot afford to waste time in business hours; the future manufacturer or merchant cannot afford to waste time in school house. This is why we have the demand for vocational education.—Montreal Star.

When Professor George Morrison and his augmented orchestra gave such strains from their musical In- struments lpst Tuesday evening at the City Auditorium as to compel the youth, middle-aged and old to trip the light fantastic over the specially pre- pared floor, the vast throng that gath- ered to participate in the Tenth An- nual festivity of Corporal White Camp No, 4, expressed entire satis- faction for the splendid and well-ar- ranged program of the Spanish War Veterans, and the concensus of opin- ion was that the usefulness of the or- ganization in the help it affords to its members during their life-time, as well as the provision they make to bury them decently and afford sub: stantial help to the widows and or- phans, merited thelr patronage and support in this celebration and those of the future. THE COLORADO STATESMAN congratulates the Veterans upon the showing they made and hope nothing will interfere or offer any obstruction in the continuance of a noble cause which is worthy of admiration. REPUBLICAN HARMONY. IF due care is not exercised, our party will fall into the same rut as the last state election found them, or become victims of another compro- mise as happened in the election that preceded 1916. Factions have proven themselves to be so disastrous to party interests that every one who went out and returned, or who refused 4g throw his support to the candidate who secured the nominatién has re- solved to cast aside that sort of poll- ties which is nothing short of ruinous, and stand by the party whether their ‘candidate be successful in the prim- ary or not. As regards the Colored voters a word at this time will, ye think, help our side in the game, and guide us to an intelligent form of ac- tion that will command a better treat- ment for us than heretofore.

Not long ago a body of our town folks got together and of their own authority established A COLORED COUNTY CENTRAL COM- MITTEE. They got out their liter- ature, procured a P, O, box, had other equipment, sent out circular letters and a number of other things. Then they reached a point where they should have been indorsed by the committee-in-chief and this they failed to get, because of lack of sys- tem and method. Both sides there- fore make mistakes, but profiting by them, let us go about the matter in a thorough form, and come what may, let us be THE PARTY FIRST and all other successes will be added.

ASPARAGUS This Excellent Food, Available for Only a Limited Time, Should Be Made the Most of While It Lasts. ASPARAGUS MOST DELICIOUS DISH Housewife Should Make Most of Vegetable While It Is Available for Use. EXPERTS GIVE GOOD ADVICE Numerous Ways of Serving, All of Which Are Excellent—Stand In Pitcher of Cold Water to Remove All Bits of Sand. The only bad thing about asparagus is that it doesn't last long enough. Therefore, make the most of this delicious vegetable while it is here. Serve it as often as possible in your meals. If you have an asparagus bed put up a few furs for winter use. There are numerous ways of serving asparagus—all of them good. New, tender, juicy stalks of uniform size are very attractive served whole. A good way to remove the bits of sand which collect under the scales is to stand the bunch of asparagus tips down in a pitcher of cold water for an hour. Wash each stalk carefully, then tie in a bundle with all of the tips in the same direction. Cook in a deep pan, the stalk ends down as they are tougher. Cover with boiling salted water and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from the water just as soon as tender, take off the string, butter, and serve on a platter. If the asparagus is not of uniform length or size it is better to cut it into pieces before cooking. Cook until tender and serve with a white sauce. Asparagus served in this way resembles green peas in flavor and is sometimes called "asparagus peas." A popular way of cooking asparagus in the past has been to cut it in pieces, boil it in water and serve with butter or cream sauce on toast. This requires bread, however, which we are trying to save. The following is a good substitute method and by it every portion of both rice and asparagus is used. Asparagus With Rice. To each pound of asparagus allow one-half cupful of uncooked rice, one level teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half cupfuls of water and a rounded tablespoonful of fat. Use a double boiler. Cut the harder portions of the asparagus, which has been washed carefully to remove sand, into one-quarter-inch pieces and cook them in salted water twenty minutes in the top of the double boiler directly on the stove, not over hot water. Add the remainder of the asparagus cut into inch pieces and the rice. Cook over hot water until both asparagus and rice are soft. Add the butter. If the rice is lifted carefully when there is need of stirring, the asparagus keeps its form, and in spite of being cooked with a cereal retains its freshness and juiciness. This is a simple yet very palatable dish. Any left-over portion may be served cold on lettuce with a French dressing for salad. Don't neglect to serve your family with cream of asparagus soup several times during the asparagus season. To make it, grind several stalks of raw asparagus through the food chopper, taking care to save all the juice. Put a half cupful of the ground pulp into the top of a double boiler and heat over boiling water. Add a quart of skim milk and thicken with five teaspoonfuls of cornstarch mixed with a tablespoonful of melted fat. Season with salt and pepper. Why not utilize the asparagus in its season to lend flavor to substitute dishes? When combined with milk and eggs it makes a very nutritious as well as palatable dish suitable for the main dish of a meal. Asparagus Souffle. Cook a bunch of asparagus cut into pieces in boiling salted water until soft. Mash to a pulp or grind through a food chopper. Make a white sauce by melting one tablespoonful of fat in a saucepan, stirring into it one-half teaspoonful of cornstarch, one-quarter teaspoonful of pepper, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and adding one-half cupful of milk. Stir until smooth and cook until thick. Add the asparagus pulp to the white sauce. Beat the yolks of three eggs until thick and lemon colored and add to first mixture. Beat white of eggs very stiff and fold in. Turn into buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven until firm to the touch. HOW TO USE ASPARAGUS Use it often while you can get it. Serve it plain for a vegetable or salad. Combine it with milk and eggs and cereal. It makes a satisfying meat substitute. --- Preparations for Canning. The first steps in all canning, says the United States department of agriculture, consist in the preparation and cleaning of containers and in the preparation of the products to be canned by washing, paring, trimming, and cutting into pieces where division is necessary. Those engaged in the work should start with clean hands, clean utensils, clean, sound, fresh products, and pure, clean, soft water. No vegetables or fruits which are withered or unsound should be canned. If possible, only fruits and vegetables picked the day of canning should be used. Peas and corn, which lose their flavor rapidly, should be canned, in fact, within five hours if a choice product is desired. Before the preparation of the products is begun the containers should be washed. If glass or crockery jars are used they should be placed in a vessel of cold water over a fire to heat. They will then be hot and ready for use when the products have been prepared for packing. All grit and dirt should be washed carefully from the materials to be used. All products should be graded especially for ripeness. Large fruits and vegetables should be pared if necessary, and small fruits, berries, and greens picked over carefully. Lime as a Disinfectant The simplest things are the things most likely to be forgotten. It is never out of place, therefore, at this season of the year for all of us to refresh our memories to the fact that ordinary quicklime is one of the best and cheapest of disinfectants. To two pounds of unslaked lime a pint of water is added. When the lumps have crumbled and the heat generated in the process of slaking has disappeared, there is added four volumes of water to one of the slaked lime, making the mixture known as "milk of lime." It furnishes one of the best of disinfectants for sick-room discharges. Whitewashing fences, pens and the interior of outhouses with it tends to render them more sanitary. The unslaked lime scattered about dairy barns, lots and yards simplifies the problems of sanitation. Experimental Kitchen. An experimental kitchen, where substitutes for wheat are being tested, has recently been established and equipped by the office of home economics, United States department of agriculture. In this kitchen some of the good old recipes which were in use 50 to 75 years ago, when corn, buckwheat, rye and barley were in more common use, are being revised and standardized, and new recipes in which wheat substitutes play an important part are tested and standardized. A group of women—laboratory specialists and housekeepers with special training—work side by side in the new kitchen. Before a recipe is made public it must not only pass the test of the laboratory specialists but must also meet the test of actual experience in the hands of a housekeeper who studies it for its practical value in the average kitchen. CAN WIN THE WAR ONLY BY FIGHTING Germany's Nor Allies' Food Shortage Is Considered. ZONES OF WAR PREPARATION First Step Is Actual Military Mobilitization; Second, Establishing War Industries; Third, Increase In Human Energy. (From the Committee on Public Information, Washington, D. C.) A traveler recently out of Germany told of an experience in a German city of 17,000 population. This city had left, for treatment of civilians, one physician and one surgeon, all other medical men having been drawn into the army. "How do you manage to attend all the sick?" asked the traveler of the physician. "I simplify by paying no attention to people over fifty-five years of age," was the doctor's answer. Which is to say, that Germans past this age, being of no military use to the state, and of probably the least economic use, are automatically set aside, and in sickness take their own chances of recovery or death. This story was told to Dr. Alonzo Taylor of the United States food administration and department of agriculture. Doctor Taylor was attached to the United States embassy at Berlin during most of 1916, and under Ambassador Gerard had neutral inspections of German prison camps in charge. Herbert Hoover has said that Doctor Taylor's scientific knowledge of dietetics, and his practical grasp of war food problems, is wider than that of any other person he knows, and behind this technical knowledge is a thorough acquaintance with the German state and the German people, as well as the food problem of the central powers and the allied nations. Last autumn Doctor Taylor was a member of the American commission sent abroad to further our co-operation in the year, and deal particularly with the problem of food. The point of the story above is the different interpretations that may be put upon it. Regarded simply as another interesting insight into the deprivation which is now believed to prevail in Germany, it would be taken by the average American newspaper reader as one more indication that Germany is desperately pressed for every necessity of life and that this internal situation must soon cause her to "crack." But Doctor Taylor looks at it in an entirely different way. Fifty-Five the Dead Line. "That story simply indicates how far the Germans are willing to go to win," he says. "If it is necessary to abandon all that part of the German population above fifty-five years of age, they intend to do it. They are willing to take other measures as coldly practical as that to pull through. So far as hunger, suffering, death, and toll are concerned, these cannot safely be regarded as factors in Germany's defeat. She has pulled through before, and will pull through again. The only way to defeat Germany, in my opinion, is by a straight military decision on the western front." Since the second year of the war, accounts of German food shortage have been staple reading in the American and English newspapers. These have been based upon German rationing regulations, articles in the German press dealing with food shortage, information brought out of Germany by travelers, and other data. The subject is one that has been carefully studied by trustworthy investigators in great detail. Much of the information obtained has undoubtedly been sound, yet Doctor Taylor regards most published accounts of German hunger as mischievous, if not as deliberate enemy propaganda. Largely through his investigations the United States food administration has adopted the policy of discountenancing reports of German hunger. "The Germans are unquestionably on very short rations," he adds, "but I know the German mind, the German state, the German press. The obedience of the German mind to the German state and the latter's control of the German press are so complete that even admitting German food shortage to be as grave as reports indicate, all published information on this subject coming out of Germany is still artfully colored for military ends. That must never be lost sight of. Germany will unquestionably have a hard pinch in food this summer, but she is going to pull through again so far as food is concerned, and all plans based upon that as a factor in the military situation rest on an unsound basis. The Germans are suffering. No matter—in the winning of this war we cannot afford to give any thought whatever to their suffering from hunger—their submarines give none to the sufferings of our allies. Must Win by Fighting. When we ourselves entered the war a year ago, German food shortage was accepted as one of the apparent factors which would help us win. Twelve months' experience has brought an awakening to the American people. We now know that allied countries are hard pressed for food. We have in our own country the reflex of the allies' food needs. Events last fall in Italy, and the past winter in Russia, make it clearer than ever that this war is to be won by fighting alone (military, economic and industrial), and that consideration of the German food situation and other factors than the military one is short-sighted, dangerous, and may lay the basis for prolongation of the war. One nation from the first has given no consideration whatever to German hunger as a war factor. That nation is France. The clear, scientific French mind has studied and accurately tabulated real military factors of Germany's strength, such as man power; but German-made propaganda based on food shortage has gained no circulation or credence in the French press or among the French people. France has lived side by side with the Boche, fought him in the past, and borne the brunt of his invasion in this war. He has been able at times to overcome her by military strength, but he has never overcome her by propaganda. "In another way France stands alone as a warring nation," says Doctor Taylor—"the immediateness and completeness of her mobilization for war from the first days of August, 1014." To make this clear, he divides war preparations into three zones. The first zone is that of actual military mobilization, and operations involving the raising of armies, the dispatch of fleets, and the making of war paraphernalia. The second zone is one entered by a nation when it begins to divert its civilian industries to war industries, a transformation that is absolutely necessary in modern war, and which can only end when every industry has been reshaped to military purposes. The third zone is entered when a nation, having seen the necessity for militarization of industries, and met it, recognizes that even this is not sufficient, but that every man, woman and child outside the fighting force must put forth from 25 to 50 per cent more effort and energy than in peace times. The mechanic must produce that much more work, either by intelligent speeding up or longer hours; the farmer must plant that much more, the merchant must eliminate luxury articles in his stock and serve his customers with fewer clerks, and all classes of the population must save for war purposes, not merely money but materials, food, effort, recreation. France Knew What to Do. It took England over a year to enter the second zone and a year more to enter the third. Italy required as long to enter the second zone. Russia only succeeded in partially entering the second zone—and that shortcoming, together with neglect of food management, probably did as much as German propaganda to undermine her military establishment. But France, who knew the Boche and had lived for more than a generation never losing sight for a day of the fact that ultimately she would have to resist him again, entered all three zones of war preparation on the day that Germany invaded. Her armies marched to the front. Her factories, railroads, and farms were instantly turned over to war purposes. Her women took their men's places to carry on the work of producing military supplies, food, and other war necessities. Luxury and pleasure disappeared, to be replaced by industry, and industry itself was increased by concentrated effort. The United States has occupied efficiently the first zone of war preparation, and competent observers from abroad, who have seen other nations like our own mobilize, say that we are making satisfactory progress in entering the second zone, where industries must be diverted from peace to war needs. We have not yet entered the third zone, and from the viewpoint of a long war, to be won by straight military decision, involving the orderly carrying out of a program of vast magnitude, it is perhaps well that we have not yet pressed on into this third zone of increased industry. For obviously, until the second zone has been entered and put in order to some extent, the increased activity required by a nation that has entered the final zone of war preparation might cause confusion and wasted effort. Speed Up to Win. Wars are fought, won, and paid for out of increased production, coupled with savings. During the past year the American people have set a new record in their subscription to government loans. As a nation, however, we are still more or less under the impression that money saving alone suffices. That is not enough. A man who in normal times would be justified in buying three hats each year will in wartimes probably have to get along with two. The hat maker will manufacture the three hats just the same, but one of them will be sent to South America in exchange for rubber with which to make army truck tires, or nitrate to make high explosives. The whole basis of foreign trade is rearranged to give other countries things which we can make that are unobtainable from the countries with which they formerly traded, so that we may import in return raw materials vitally necessary for war. The demands of the army and navy for weapons, clothing, food, and every sort of supplies, coupled with destruction and shortage of wool, cotton, metals, chemicals, and other raw materials, necessitate a careful rearrangement of personal and individual consumption and a speeding up of production. England has been most efficient in working these transformations. And today all her production, $C$ 'stribution, and consumption are absolutely on the war basis. SATISFIED CUSTOMERS SATISFIED CUSTOMERS factory service. They know that whatever we sell them is thoroughly reliable. They know we do not ask more than fair profit on our sales.

Once there was a cobbler who was denf and mute. But in spite of his misfortune he got along, for he was a good workman, and his shop was equipped with modern machinery. One day there passed that way a disciple of the universal brotherhood of man, who had a soft spot in his heart for unfortunate fellows. It was a wet day, and he stopped in to get his shoes half-soled. The fellow charged him 10 cents more for the job than he had been accustomed to paying, so he howled, but when he discovered that the shoemaker could neither hear him nor make reply his wrath subsided, and he went away with sympathy in his heart. For many weeks he went about, telling every one he met to patronize the deaf and mute cobbler because he had get-up enough to hustle for a living even though he was a child of misfortune. Eventually the unfortunate fellow's business increased threefold, despite the fact that he charged high prices. Finally the great humanitarian left a pair of shoes to be fixed. He said that he'd call for them about five, but something delayed him and he got there about a minute after six. There was a big touring car standing in front of the place. The deaf and mute cobbler was just leaving the shop as the brotherhood man approached, and he wouldn't unlock the door. With one hand he pointed to the town clock in the steeple while with the other he cranked the auto at the curb. That night, after supper, the humanitarian saw him out joy-riding with a wife and four husky boys. Moral—The man who keeps his mouth shut and pegs away is seldom in need of public sympathy!—Exchange. Broadway Really Thrilled An interesting mixup occurred one evening recently on Broadway, but it was ended after a few blows had been exchanged. It wasn't a cop or anyone else who was responsible for stopping it; it was the power of patriotism. A sailor and a young man in civilian clothes were the interested parties. They became engaged in a heated argument and went to it with bare knuckles. The sailor soon showed that he was the better boxer and it looked as though his opponent was due for a licking. Just as the Jackie was about to land a knockout, however, a Salvation army band across the street began to play "The Star Spangled Banner." Instantly the man of the sea quit fighting and stood at salute position. The civilian saw an opportunity to turn the tide of battle. He started his fist toward his adversary's nose, but suddenly checked the blow. Then his fingers relaxed and he slowly took off his hat and kept it off till the band had finished playing. With the last strain the civilian stuck out his hand. "Put it there, pal," he said. The sailor grasped the extended hand and the battle was a thing of the past. "Pinched" Her Own Flowers. To a hospital for wounded soldiers the queen of England recently sent an exceptionally beautiful bouquet that had been presented to her. The inmates received the gift with much pleasure, says an English periodical, and to show their appreciation of her majesty's kindness and to prove that the flowers had arrived safely they commissioned one of their number to stand at the hospital gate the following morning when the queen passed. The result was a tremendous surprise. Queen Mary, seated in her car, saw the soldier standing at the gate, bouquet in hand, and, assuming that he wished to present it to her, she had the car stopped. As the soldier exhibited the bouquet the queen took it in her hand, remarked upon its beauty, calmly appropriated it and gave word for the car to go on. The soldier stared in amazement. Then, recovering his speech, he said: "Well, she's pinched 'em!" Real Compliment. Billy Sunday has had many compliments, but the one he prizes most dearly came to him, oddly enough, from a criminal's lips. It was in Philadelphia. Sunday had visited Moyamensing prison. There he had talked with a housebreaker so convincingly that the man had promised to lead, on his discharge, a Christian life. This housebreaker, discussing Sunday with a guardian afterward, said: day with a guardian there, said, "He came in here, Sunday did, and he fairly turned me inside out—made me sick o' meself, that's what he done. Oh, he's a winner. I think he's one of us—one o' the gang—reformed, you know." Write Letters That Smile. A plea has been made for more letters to the men in uniform. "Write often to your men in the army and navy, and make your letters smile," says Roger Daniels of the army and navy department of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. "Don't delay your letters, for there is an untold amount of cheer and comfort created by the word pictures in these home messages. When you write, smile, and keep on smiling." Hospitals Multiply During 12 months the United States army hospitals increased from seven to sixty-two in number and from 5,000 to 58,400 beds; 30,000 more beds are being added.

"And how," asked the older robin to one of his youngsters, "and how are you progressing in learning to fly?" "Fine." "Can you do the tall spin yet?" "No." "Well, take a tip from father; don't try it. Leave all that rough kind of flying to humans in their machines." PEACE RIOTERS SHOT IN BERLIN PALACE STONED BY MOBS IN VIENNA AND MARTIAL LAW PROBABLE. CUT IN BREAD RATIONS AUSTRIANS ARE URGED AGAINST ITALIANS TO WIN FOOD AND RESTORE ORDER. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London.—Heavily consored private messages received in Stockholm indicate that peace demonstrations were held recently in Berlin, Hamburg and Cologne, and that several workmen were killed and many persons arrested, says a dispatch to the Morning Post. The police and military dispersed crowds of demonstrants. Serious rioting broke out in Vienna Wednesday, says an Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Amsterdam. The mob broke into a number of bakeries, stoned the residence of the premier and also one of the wings of the Hofburg palace, the message adds. Cavalry is being rushed to the capital to restore order. It is probable, it is stated, that martial law will be proclaimed. The rioting was in progress against the reduction of the bread ration. There have been reports from various sources recently of trouble in Austria, notably in the capital, because of the bread ration reduction forced by the virtual exhaustion of the Austrian grain supplies. The bread allotment to each individual in the city of Vienna is now less than one and one-half pounds weekly, it was stated in a dispatch from Copenhagen. Protests against this rationing have been vehement from various quarters. The Vienna city council adopted a resolution of protest and the labor council in that city emphasized its protest by the passage of a resolution renewing its demand for a speedy general peace. Strikes in Vienna and elsewhere have been one outgrowth of the situation, according to reports from Switzerland, and fears have been expressed in Austrian quarters that what would virtually amount to a general strike was imminent. CAP0 SILE RECAPTURED CAP0 SILE RECAPTURED Austrian Drive Foiled from Alps to Adriatic—Americans Make Gains at Thierry. London, June 21.—To all outward appearances the Austrian offensive in the Italian theater thus far has met with failure all along the front from the Venetian Alps to the Adriatic sea. In the hill region additional ground has been recaptured from the invaders, while along the Plave river, where intensive fighting is in progress, at some points with fluctuating results, the balance seems to sway in favor of the Italians. South and east of Asiago the French and Italians have retaken Pennar, Bertigo and Costalunga, past which the Austrians had hoped to push their front and gain the Astico river valley, which leads to Vicenza on the plains below. Between Fossalta and San Dona di Plave the Italians have further pushed back the invaders and reports assert that they have recaptured the village of Capo Sile. Nevertheless, further setbacks to the Austrians have followed those of past days on the Montello, where the Italians are viciously disputing the right of way to the plains. Not alone were positions regained, but many prisoners fell into the hands of the allied troops. British raiding parties were active in several sectors along the front, taking prisoners and inflicting losses upon the Germans in numerous crashes. French troops entered the German lines between Montdidier and the Oise river and captured prisoners. The American troops made an attack on the German line northwest of Chateau Thierry and made an advance of five-eighths of a mile, driving the Germans back from a small pocket on the northern side of Belleu wood. The American troops stormed German trenches and machine gun nests in front of Cantigny in the Montdidier sector.

Stock Yards to Go Under License. Washington.—All stockyards in the United States were ordered by President Wilson to be put under federal license. A presidential proclamation was issued which requires that licenses must be obtained from the food administration on or before July 25. Licensing also is required of commission men, order buyers, traders, speculators and scalpers handling or dealing in live cattle, sheep, swine or goats "in or in connection with such stockyards" except those exempted by the food and fuel law.

COMPANY BICYCLES THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY There is nothing for it but to knit and knit and then knit some more and carry on. She who does not must be forever explaining why not. It's an obligation and all that we have to show that our hearts are in the right place are knitting needles, knitting bags and such things. The four hundredth pair of socks may prove just a little monotonous, but there are new knitting bags to add the spice of variety to our daily lives. At the ribbon counters they are showing some immensely clever ones along with other work bags and "catch-alls." Those who spend their dime thinking of new things in bags have grown to be such adepts that life at the ribbon counter promises to become one continual round of joyous new bags—from now until the end of the year. Then—unless the war is over—they will begin all over again with 1919 knitting bags. A new arrival that charms everyone is a knitting bag that looks like a little umbrella. It is made of silk or strips of ribbon, sewed together and cut into a circle. The circle is cut out in six scallops at the circumference and the points of these scallops are sewed to the ends of the earrow strip that forms the handle— Silk 'Stre Some time before the days of midsummer have really arrived, merchants assemble stocks of silk street suits, ready to be presented when the first hot day comes. These midsummer suits are almost untrimmed, but are carefully designed and distinguished by smart style-touches and niceties of finish that place them close to the formal suit class. Clever women sometimes take their graceful but plain suits and tone them up with a little effective hand work, but even without that, they are equal to almost any demand. There are many pretty suits of heavy taffetas and of gros-de-londre in the displays. One of the new taffeta suits is shown in the picture and it could hardly be simpler or plainer, but it is remarkably good style. The coat opens to the bust line, differing from earlier styles which were open to the waist line. It has a short, flaring skirt portion with three plaits at each side and a little dip in front, all very crisp and spirited. Flat, white pearl buttons fasten it. They invite the addition of a white pique vestee and collar and white cuffs. Altogether they three scallops at each end of the strip. Then the handle is slipped through a small slide made of the ribbon and when it is drawn through the bag falls in the form of an umbrella. The tassel is sewed at the center of the circle of silk. Work bags that will serve for knitting as well as other kinds of work are made of strips of plain and brocaded ribbon sewed together lengthwise like that shown at the right of the umbrella bag. The top is cut in scallibbps and draws up on narrow satin ribbons that run through a casing sewed along the base of the scallops in the plain ribbon. Small rings sewed at the sides of the brocaded ribbon are covered with crochet silk and the narrow ribbon hangers pass from the casing through them. Below this bag a smaller workbag is gathered over large glass rings. It is made of plain satin ribbon joined with shirrings over cord and finished with silk tassels. The bag at the right is made of narrow strips of ribbon feather stitched together. Its mouth is a small embroidery hoop so it is always open and ready to catch what may be dropped into it. It hangs from four cords of silk and is finished with a tassel. eet Suits make this suit irresistibly cool looking, and that is the charm of charms in midsummer. White pumps and stockings might be worn with it to the best advantage. Among these new silk suits there is one having a coat with three flouncees set in across the back that is very pretty. It has narrow pockets set on at each side with rows of small buttons, and a belt of the silk. These belts, in many silk suits, extend around the waist in the most straightforward and matter-of-fact manner, which is another point of departure from style in cloth suits. The most popular colors are navy, taupe and black, but light colors, as sand gray or white have a daintiness that compensates for their being shorter lived.
