LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO EDITOR PUBLISHERS WASHINGTON (By JONAT NEGRO EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS CALLED TO WASHINGTON CONFERENCE (By JONATHAN COVER) THAT truth is stranger than fiction has been startlingly illustrated from time to time in all fields of the world's activities and yet, I am persuaded, viewing the fact from all angles and in the light of recent civil and political history as affecting the Negro, that the coming together at Washington during the past week of leading Negro editors and publishers to the number of three score or more and at the invitation and expense of the government is the "Ne plus ultra" of strange and fateful happenings. The sudden lifting of its nose out of the harbor waters at Baltimore of the "U-53 Submarine," 5,000 miles from home must be considered a rather tame and ordinary event, when conditions and precedents bearing upon the former are considered. The coming of these representative Negroes at this time is of course due as are all extraordinary happenings, to the great war and the overshadowing peril of German world domination. The American nation is committed to the task of extracting the fangs of the remorseless German monster whose savage cruelty and insatiable greed have laid waste and destroyed peoples innumerable and much of the rich treasure and fair lands of middle Europe. America has taken up the gauge to save the world from similar fate and preserve to it sown people the rights, privileges and immunities which the fathers of the Republic fought for at Bunker Hill and Yorktown. The Nation realizes the large job it has undertaken and realizes too the vital necessity of utilizing every available national resource. Men, money and munitions are needed in great numbers and large quantities. The Negro, recognized as devoted to the flag and loyal to the last man, is expected to figure largely in supplying a goodly percentage of each class of these needs. He is not content with doing his "bit" but is ambitious to do his uttermost, and when the story of the agencies that won the war shall have been written it will be found that for unselfish patriotism, in spite of cruel hardships and proscription, the American Negro has earned an enviable place well up towards the top. It is that this splendid force, this powerful American asset, may be properly correlated and appraised, to the end that its every atom may be used to advantage in the winning of the war, that these Negro leaders were called here in conference. They were all big callbre men who have been doing constructive work in the editing of papers for many years. They were men of courage, conviction and discretion, who doubtless told the administration many interesting things, many of which were pleasant and some of them possibly were unpleasant for it to hear. All they told it is safe to say was in the interest of truth and justice, which in large measure make up that righteousness which exalteth a nation. An informal reception and social VOL. XXIV. State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House the Only Relia COLOR ORS AND IS CALLED TO N CONFERENCE hour was arranged for Thursday when smokes and a few modest eats were indulged in. Of course there were speeches and some very good ones. Among the half hundred or more were to be noted Moore of the N. Y. Age; Knox, Indianapolis Freeman; Andrews, Baltimore Dally Herald; DuBois, the Crisis; King, Dallas Express; Crews, Kansas City Star; Boyd, Nashville Globe; Murphy, Baltimore AfroAmerican; Abbott, Chicago Defender; R. W. Thompson, general correspondent. Other noted race men were ex-Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback, Judge R. H. Terrell, ex-Recorder of Deeds Dancy, Ben Davis of Atlanta, Major Moton of Tuskegee and Maj. Washington of Hampton, Lawyer W. L. Houston, Editor Finley J. Wilson, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Drs. C. Sumner Wormley, Washington and H. J. Minton of Philadelphia; Editor Chris J. Perry of the Philadelphia Tribune and Lawyer James A. Cobb, besides many other newspaper representatives. Among all these notable characters there was one, small in stature the large in brain who said little during the evening but who listened eagerly to every utterance. The man thru whom many seemingly impossible things have been accomplished for Negroes generally and for the Negro soldier in particular; the man who, having absorbed the constructive genius of the Wizard of Tuskegee, has added thereto an insistent diplomacy and aggressiveness that falters at no effort to secure a just rating and proper regard for our Negro people; the man who made possible this remarkable conference, the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War. Columbus, Ohio, June 21.—Eminent men of both races assembled at Memorial hall last Sunday to pay tribute of respect to the memory of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington. Numbered among those who spoke on the occasion were Mayor Karb, Rev. Moore and Rabbi Joseph Korafeld. The speakers dwelt at length upon the beautiful attributes which characterized the life of the deceased, and contended that his useful activities exerted in behalf of mankind were evidences of lessons carrying with them essential qualities needed in this crucial period of world democracy. The service was held at Memorial hall. Washington, D. C., June 15.—Being advised today that Mrs. Pearl Henderson, of Dayton, O., widowed mother of Sergeant Joseph Henderson, of the 372d regiment, the first colored soldier to die in action over in France, was in urgent need of funds to pay her house rent, installment on the furniture in her modest little home and her insurance, the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee immediately dispatched a check to her for a substantial sum to take care of all her immediate needs. The promptness with which the committee responds to calls for aid is earning for it the love and confidence of the race. The committee's contribution to the relief of this poor, sorrowing Colored mother who had given a son for the cause of "our new freedom," is not a loan, but a gratuitous gift to a needy and deserving mother. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 29 1918 N. A. A. C. P. CONTINUES ITS GOOD WORK. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, announces that it has protested to Governor Philipp of Wisconsin against the exclusion of colored people suffering from tuberculosis from the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Statesan, Wisconsin. The association directs the governor's attention to the fact that application blanks issued by the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium and sent broadcast to all physicians of the state include an announcement by the superintendent that the institution has no provision for colored people. Mr. Shillady states that Dr. R. L. Williams, superintendent of the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium replying to a letter of inquiry addressed to him by the Advancement Association as to reasons for the exclusion of colored people, gave as a reason that colored people have an offensive body odor which made their treatment with white patients inadvisable. Mr. Shillady further states that Dr. Williams advised against insisting upon the admission of colored people to his institution but asked that the association urge that provision be made for colored patients elsewhere. The association directs the governor's attention to the fact that colored people are citizens and taxpayers of Wisconsin and are entitled equally to the benefits of public institutions provided by public funds. Mr. Shillady contends that their exclusion from the State Tuberculosis Sanatorium is entirely unjustified and announces that the Advancement Association has put the matter squarely up to the governor for correction. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is an organization of white and colored people with branches in about 120 cities of the country. It has a paid membership of 32,000. There are no branches in Wisconsin at present but the association intends to organize Wisconsin branches at once. The letter follows: June 17, 1918. Hon. E. L. Philipp, Governor, On May 2 I addressed an inquiry to Dr. R. L. Williams, superintendent of the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Statesan, Wis., asking for information regarding a statement on the application blank sent out by the institution to physicians throughout the state, in which it was stated that the Sanatorium has no provision for colored people. It was a matter of great surprise to us to learn that an enlightened state like Wisconsin should advertise the fact that its public institutions, provided by the taxpayers of the state for the care of individuals suffering from tuberculosis, exclude colored people. Dr. R. L. Williams, superintendent of your state institution, advises us not to insist upon the admission of colored people to the present institution. He gives as his reason for not admitting colored people to the said institution the alleged fact that Negroes have an offensive body odor to which sick people, says Dr. Williams, are extremely sensitive. This association insists that Dr. Williams' objections are puerile and absolutely without warrant. The matter of personal offensiveness such as is alleged by Dr. Williams is a purely individual matter and not one of race. Colored people have a right to and do resent such imputations as that put upon them by Dr. Williams in his statement to us. But the essence of the problem lies in the fact that colored people are citizens of Wisconsin; they pay taxes the same as white people; and Wisconsin has no right to make any distinctions as between whites and colored in admission to state institutions. We put this matter squarely up to you as the chief executive of the state to see that justice is done to the colored people of Wisconsin in this matter. Sincerely yours, (Signed) JOHN R. SHILLADY, Secretary. WOMEN PROTEST TO PRESIDENT WILSON. Federated Clubs of Savannah, Active in Red Cross Work, Send Pathetic Appeal to Chief Executive to Suppress Mob Murder. Savannah, Ga., June 14.—The Colored women of this city, in response to the call issued by Miss Lucy Laney and others to the women of the state of Georgia, to unite in a service of humiliation and prayer as a protest against the awful lynchings now disgracing our state, especially that of Mary Turner, the women of the Touissant L'Overteur Branch of the American Red Cross met last week. After a prayer service the following resolutions were adopted and sent to President Wilson and Governor Dorsey: "Whereas, The Negro womanhood of Georgia has been shocked by the lynching of Mary Turner at Valdosta, Sunday, May 19, 1918, for an alleged unwise remark in reference to the lynching of her husband; and, "Whereas, We, the Negro women of the state, are aroused by this unwarranted lawlessness and are discouraged and crushed by a spirit of humiliation and dread; and, "Whereas, We deplore the migratory movement of the Negro from the South, yet we cannot counsel them to remain in the light of these conditions under which we live; and, "Whereas, Our labor is in these cotton and cornfields and rice swamps, and in this frightful hour of the great world war, our sons and husbands are giving their lives in defense of the country we all love so dearly; and, "Whereas, in every forward movement in our national life the Negro has come to the front and shared in the advance and crimsoned every field of strife from Boston to 'no man's land,' for the principles held sacred by every true American; and, "Whereas, We feel that our lives are unsafe as long as this iniquitous institution exists; "We therefore are asking that you use all the power of your great office to prevent similar occurrences and punish the perpetrators of this foul deed, and urge that sure and swift justice be meted out to them. (Signed) "COLORED FEDERATED CLUBS." The following reply was received from the President: "The White House, "Washington, May 31, 1918.

Barricaded in a house, he fought off the posse until his ammunition was exhausted. He then surrendered. Natchez, Miss., June 19.—George Clayton, colored, was hanged to a tree near Mangham, La., across the Mississippi river from this city by a posse of citizens last night after he had killed his employer, Ben Brooks. For several months the Philadelphia Electric Company, one of the largest power generating and lighting companies in the world, has been employing Colored linemen, stringing wires and on overhead work and they are giving full satisfaction. Clayton shot and killed Brooks, according to the authorities, when Brooks sought to investigate reports that the man had threatened to kill his wife and had forced her to take refuge with friends. The man held the posse at bay from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until late at night. transport colored and white passengers in the same car. They argue that it would be an infringement of the "Jim Crow" laws of the state. Several of the operators have offered to provide separate cars for the colored soldiers. Brigadier General Hudson division commander, has the matter under advisement. Hattiesburg, Miss., June 13.—The question of carrying colored soldiers by taxi operators between Camp Shelby and Hattiesburg is being discussed by the military authorities at Camp Shelby. An order was carried into effect yesterday directing the drivers of cars to take colored passengers. Several of the drivers refused to do so, and their licenses were taken from them by the military police. A recent letter sent by Ralph W. Tyler, National Secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comittee, asking that steps be taken to stop Jim-Crowning soldiers, and patriotic speakers setting forth the fact that the spirit demonstrated was not Indianapolis, Ind.—This city is keeping up with the best things doing in progressive communities. Not long since the authorities appointed a number of women for police duty. Among these are two well known Colored women, Mrs. Mary Mays and Mrs. Emma Christy Baker. Indiana Harbor, Ind., June 21.—The Indiana Steel Co., has taken into its service 75 Colored women as laborers. The company has been unable for some time to secure sufficient laborers and recently offered high wages to women to handle light steel castings and to perform ordinary work of laborers. Schofield Barracks, H. T., June 21.—Following a series of love letters that kindled a mutual admiration, Miss Jennie Phillips of Birmingham, Ala., journeyed across the briny deep to weat the Sammie of her heart, Frederick Cook of Company A, 25th in fantasy. The ceremony was performed by Maj. Geo. W. Prioleau on May 23 and the news has just leaked out. Los Angeles, Cal.—A jury in judge McCormick's Court yesterday awarded $50 damages each to Beatrice Benton and Edna Steward, colored women who demanded damages aggregating $1,000 for alleged discrimination in being charged 25 cents admission instead of the regular price of 10 cents at the Crown Theater, Pasadena, January 1, 1917. Springfield, Ill., June 10.—The colored citizens of this city are complaining bitterly and justly because the park board permits the color line to be drawn at Bunn Park, colored children being denied the use of the bathing beach. At the pleasure parks of the city, the color line is rigid. Illinois needs a political house-cleaning, as she is going backward instead of forward. Harrisburg, Tex., June 21.—C. A. Chapman, constable, and Ben Kennerly, deputy constable, both white, are being held under a bond of $500 to answer grand jury charges for the murder of Nick Parr, who died in the jail here two weeks ago. The N. A. A. C. P. has employed Attorney Guy Graham to assist in the prosecution of the two officers. Chicago, Ill., June 12.—Colored men of the First Congressional district under the leadership of Oscar De Priest, met last Saturday night and nominated James A. Scott, former Asst. States Attorney for Congress, on the Republican ticket, in opposition to Martin B. Madden, the present incumbent. Edward H. Morris, the well known attorney, had been selected but refused to run. The taxi drivers held a meeting and agreed under no circumstances to NO 36 transport colored and white passengers in the same car. They argue that it would be an infringement of the "Jim Crow" laws of the state. Several of the operators have offered to provide separate cars for the colored soldiers.

Tyler, National Secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, asking that steps be taken to stop Jim-Crowing soldiers, and patriotic speakers setting forth the fact that the spirit demonstrated was not in accord with the plea of democracy, and that even enemy allens were not subjected to such treatment, is bearing fruit. Wilberforce University has been selected by the War Department as one of the training schools for Negro soldiers. About 200 men, including officers, will be sent from the training camps to Wilberforce about July 15 and will be kept here at least two months for training in specific lines, such as electrical engineering, auto mechanics, etc. The school will be known as Wilberforce University Training Detachment, National Army. Tulsa, Okla., June 21.—The proceedings of the stewardess board meeting at the A. M. E. church were abruptly halted when Mrs. Maggie Voden, prominent member of the church, carelessly used a chair around the neck and shoulders of Rev. W. C. B. Lewis. It is said that Mrs. Voden attacked Rev. Lewis during a heated argument which arose over the expenditure of the church money. Order was restored before serious damage was done. --- Lawton, Okla., June 21.—Claude Walker (white), a soldier, was arrested Wednesday night, June 12, at 22d East avenue in company with Mrs. Mable Walker, his wife, when policemen forced their way into the apartment occupied by the couple. The complaint against Walker was that his wife was not a white woman. Walker stated that they were married on May 22 in Wichita, Kan. He was turned over to the military authorities for an investigation. Mr. McAdoo referred the letter to Judge Prouty, Director of Public Service, who invited Mr. Tyler to a conference on the matter. Judge Prouty in no uncertain terms, advocated the abolition of Jim Crow cars, and expressed sympathy for the race, declaring he had always opposed segregation and promised to take the matter up with Mr. McAdoo as soon as he returned from a Virginia health resort, where he is recuperating. Judge Prouty is from Vermont. Earle, Ark., June 21.—A mob composed of prominent white citizens of this city lynched Elton Mitchell Thursday night, June 13. It is said that his body was hacked into bits with butcher knives before it was strung up to a sycamore tree. The act of cannibals was prompted by Mitchell's refusal to work on the farm of Mrs. W. M. Langston without pay. When officers arrived at the scene of the crime they were told that Mitchell had fired several shots at the woman, and upon receiving this information they left the vicinity without further investigation and did not attempt to make an arrest, in spite of the fact that several of the men who lynched Mitchell were in the immediate section. --- Vive La France THE land of sunshine and of song! Her name your hearts divine; To her the banquet's vows belong Whose breasts have poured its wine; Our trusty friend, our true ally Through varied change and chance; So, fill your flashing goblets high, I give you, VIVE LA FRANCE! Above our hosts in triple folds The selfsame colors spread, Where Valor's faithful arm upholds The blue, the white, the red; Alike each nation's glittering crest Reflects the morning's glance, Twin eagles, soaring east and west: Once more, then, VIVE LA FRANCE! Sister in trial! who shall count Thy generous friendship's claim, Whose blood ran mingling in the fount That gave our land its name, 'Till Yorktown saw in blended line Our conquering arms advance, And Victory's double garlands twine Our banners! VIVE LA FRANCE! O land of heroes! in our need One gift from heaven we crave To stanch these wounds that bravely bleed The wise to lead the brave! Call back one captain of thy past From glory's marble trance, Whose name shall be a bugle blast To rouse us! VIVE LA FRANCE! The statue of Lafayette, presented to France in 1900 by the school children of America, stands in the court of the Louvre. It is the work of the sculptor Bartlett. Lafayette's Name Honored by All Free Men SEPTEMBER 6th is the 107th anniversary of the birth of the great French soldier who was America's friend in her hour of need. Lafayette was a mere boy of twenty when he left his young wife in France and at his own expense came to this country and presented himself to congress and offered his services where they would be best suited for the cause in hand. Lafayette received his first impressions of the American struggle for liberty while he was stationed at Metz. Undoubtedly he was led to apply to the American commissioners at Paris, among whom was Franklin, through his recollection of the loss of Canada to France. It was at the same time that he, an aristocrat, began to understand the common people. Certainly from the first moment of his landing in America until the end of his days he was most democratic in his dealings with all men. When he appeared before Franklin and Deane and desired to offer his sword to America he was dissuaded. He was told that, in the first place, there was no ship to take him, and to that he answered that he would charter a vessel himself and at the same time supply it and also take any communications the commissioners had for America. Won Commissioners' Sanction. There was no other answer to a persevering, courageous and generous young soldier than to accept his offer. He gladly embraced the opportunity to lend his aid and also invited several other dashing young Frenchmen to accompany him. He was as good as his word, and in due time he and his ship arrived on this side of the Atlantic. Congress read with interest his recommendations from Franklin, and they agreed to the single proviso in his offer, which was that he, on account of his position, was to receive the commission as a general officer and he was to be free to answer any summons of his king. But at the same time he stipulated that he was to serve without any enrolment. It was about the middle of April, 1777, that the young nobleman arrived in South Carolina, and it was in July that congress gave him his commission as major general, although he was then some weeks less than twenty years of age. Placed under the personal care of Washington, the great commander in chief soon became attached to the young officer. The feeling of admiration was mutual, and Lafayette until the day of his death regarded his mentor and friend as the greatest American. Gladly Gave His Services. From the first he was convinced of the justness of the American cause, and he fought for it as if it were his BORN IN 1824 AND MARRIED IN 1825. HE WAS A MASTER OF THE MUSIC. HE WAS A MASTER OF THE MUSIC. HE WAS A MASTER OF THE MUSIC. own. He not only served without pay, but actually lent assistance to the struggling colonies out of his own private means. In all, he advanced about $140,000 to the American cause, and in those days that was an immense sum of money. Less than two months from the day he received his commission he was in command of a body of troops in the army that engaged the British at the battle of the Brandywine. The Americans numbered in all about 11,000 effective troops, although their total number was about 15,000, while the British confronted them with an army of 18,000 trained men. Then, on September 11, 1877, when he had just passed his twentieth birthday, young Lafayette, a tall stripling, R F 1757—LAFAYETTE—1834. received his baptism of fire. He received more than that, for one of his legs was so badly wounded by a bullet that he had to be carried to Bethlehem, where he lay for weeks, attended tenderly by the Moravian sisters. For a time Lafayette was under General Sullivan, and he saw much hard service. When the Rhode Island campaign was drawing to a close and D'Estang's fleet and 4,000 French troops were withdrawn, it became evident to those who thought on the subject that the patriot army was in a sad quandary. It needed supplies and it needed assistance in men, and it needed the alliance of a powerful nation. It was true that the badly clothed and sadly supplied little straggling army of the colonists could hold out for a long time; but it was evident that help was needed if a peace was to be signed that would guarantee their liberty. Lafayette was one of those who saw that the patriots must have help. He had been absent from home and his young wife for two years, and he asked for a leave of absence to visit France. Toward the end of the year 1778 he returned home and congress, although it was poor in resources, did prove its gratitude by ordering Franklin, then American envoy in France, to have a sword made and presented to the distinguished young soldier. Made Victory Sure. Lafayette returned again, and this time France sent over an army and, what was more valuable, a fleet to cooperate with it, and with these new forces in the field against her the British began the final chapter of the war. After the war Lafayette visited the United States and was everywhere received with welcoming hands. Toward the evening of his life the great Frenchman was in need, having lost his property and having been otherwise deprived of his patrimony. It was at this time that congress voted him money and lands, which he sold for $100,000, and at the same time invited him to revisit the scene of his youthful victories. His tour of the country lasted fourteen months, during which period he visited each of the then twenty-four states, and in every town and city he was the object of a splendid welcome. He died in France in 1834 and there was general mourning and many tributes to his memory in the United States. The present war has caused his name to be illuminated again, for once more France and America are fighting a common foe, but this time the country which France helped to free is returning to assist her in freeing the world for democracy. Lafayette True Republican. The republicanism of Lafayette astonished two continents in his day and set the chancellories of Europe by the ears. It abides still as an inspiration to the world in these days of the Battle for Liberty. The man represented in his youth the struggle for the highest ideals of our country and in his maturer years he became an embodiment of the struggle against the greed of the Hun. The hero of Brandywine, whose vision was prophetic, was also the foe of Prussian militarism. As the "Prisoner of Olmutz" his spirit was not broken when he came to us after having suffered the indignities and cruelties heaped upon him by the Teuton. Were he living now he would be as ardent against the Hohenzollers as he was against George III of Hanover. Whole World Turns to America. In the providence of God and by the light of our loyalty toward the original convictions of liberty and humanity upon which we have founded we are today with garnered wisdom and with stored wealth and with disciplined strength standing in the vortex of universal waters as at once the lighthouse of hope and the anchor of liberty for all the world. Paying Nation's Debt to France. Nearly a century and a half have passed since France and America last fought side by side. It is inspiring to any American to realize that we are now paying—in part at least—the debt we owe to this glorious people who sent Lafayette when we sorely needed him. Statement of Lawrence C. Phipps Confirming the telegram sent you from Washington, in which you were authorized to present to the Republican State Assembly my name as candidate for the nomination for United States Senator, a brief statement is properly due to those whose support for my candidacy is sought. The winning of the war, and that as speedily as possible, is the one great task of the country. Since the United States entered the conflict, every other interest has been a matter of subordinate importance to me, and, whether or not I am elected to office, my first purpose shall be to give whatever of ability, experience and energy I may possess toward bringing this war to a victorious end. Incident to the conduct of the war, is the judicious expenditure of the billions of dollars which we are so generously furnishing to accomplish this supreme purpose. The very ending of the conflict will bring about many problems in the reconstruction of business and social conditions, now so grievously disturbed. If, in the judgment of the men and women of our State, the experience gained during a long business career qualifies me to assist in solving these questions, I shall gladly place that experience at the service of my country. This is the first time I have ever been a candidate for any public office, and the nomination for the high office of United States Senator by the party in whose principles I so firmly believe and to which I have always given support would be a great compliment. If honored by an election, all that there is in me would be given to the performance of the duties thereby imposed. Should I not receive the nomination, or, if nominated should fail of the election, still I would be found striving to give of my best effort wherever I can be of greatest service in the cause. There is one matter connected with the war in which Colorado is vitally interested and which is giving thinking men serious concern: Colorado is paying out millions in taxes, is investing millions in war loans and is giving large sums to those splendid causes for which the Government cannot provide, but which are absolutely necessary in caring for the moral and physical welfare of our boys in the service. Only a small part of the money which is being drawn from Colorado is coming back to the State, and war activities in other sections are making serious drafts on our labor. This situation will become more serious as one industry after another is declared non-essential. While this money is given out with no thought of individual return, it is apparent that a continuation of this process must ultimately result in a serious industrial and financial situation in Colorado, from which all will suffer. With a climate unparalleled for the training of troops and with all the conditions which make for the speedy and economical manufacture of war materials and munitions, a serious effort should be made to prevent the economic disturbance which will surely follow if the movement of money in Colorado is all outward. Today, Colorado's leading business men are organizing to meet this situation, the effects of which are already being felt. Colorado has so many facilities to offer where interests of the Government can be as well and economically served as in any other part of our country, that everything possible should be done to secure the establishment of training camps and our proportionate share of other Government business. I consider service in this direction one of the most important which a Senator from Colorado can render to his State, and, if elected, I shall do all in my power to see that a fair proportion of the money we contribute is expended in Colorado. I have briefly touched upon what seem to me the matters of immediate and overshadowing concern to us all, but whenever occasion arises, I shall be glad to give my views on any important questions that may be at issue.

REAL REPRESENTATIVES REQUIRED FOR NATIONAL AND STATE POLITICS. BECAUSE of the great interest that is being evinced in the war some of us are apt to forget the part we must play politically, too. Now we have been and are still strongly advocating loyalty to the administration and the doing of everything that will make us win the war, but we cannot lose sight of the great responsibility on us, of sending men to represent us in our government circles that are big enough, broad-shouldered and capable of measuring up to the gigantic task to be set before them. The idea of choosing the best men is always the theme of each party, and doing this for a number of years, while we would listen to the suggestion of some, not the party but—the man—the individual, who is not in the position for the mere emolument attached or the title, we must say that we are firm believers in PARTY LINES. If we are beaten at the polls by a Democratic candidate we will take our defeat manly, and if, in his career he does anything beneficial to all the people, we are fair enough to give him the honors. But this doctrine of NON-PARTISANSHIP which sometimes even finds support in some of our news journals does not seem to be indulged in on both sides, and while the idea is getting hold of one, the other is viewing same with suspicions. We need men of backbone—strong men in their convictions who do not hesitate to defend the truth and prosecute a wrong to their utmost; but with all this the COLORADO STATESMAN feels as it always does, a little more of security in its Republican Party politics which it has adopted these many years and which it has every reason to be proud of.

In 1918, when we review the accomplishments of our government for the period of fifteen months since our war entry, we cannot help from being proud or reflecting with pride on the spirit of the father, then the savior, who in their efforts to bring this nation into existence and to preserve its life against the wiles of the enemy within and without, have handed down to us the permanent legacy of THE HELPING HAND, especially to our weaker brother.

MEDAL OF HONOR TESTS ARE FIXED GENERAL PERSHING TELLS HIS OFFICERS WHAT DEEDS ARE TO BE REWARDED. ARMY STORE'S LOW PRICES Soldiers in France Can Buy Many Things Cheaper Than in This Country—New "Overseas Cap" Added to American Equipment. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—These tests are applied to cases recommended for the medal of honor, according to instructions issued as a guide to officers by General Pershing: Men who have performed in action deeds of most distinguished personal bravery and self-sacrifice above and beyond all call of duty; so conspicuous as clearly to distinguish them for gallantry and intrepidity above their comrades; which involve risk of life or the performance of more than ordinarily hazardous service, the omission of which would not justly subject the person to censure for shortcoming or failure in the performance of his duty. The distinguished-service cross is awarded for gallantry in action to anyone who may distinguish himself in action by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operation against an armed enemy, under circumstances which do not justify the award of the medal of honor. The distinguished-service medal is awarded for exceptionally meritorious service to the government in connection with operations against an armed enemy. --- Prices quoted for June on merchandise in the huge general stores operated by the quartermaster corps in France show that members of the expeditionary forces may secure goods at prices lower than retail prices in effect in this country. June quotations are: Half-pound package chocolate, 11 cents; can of cherries, 24 cents; can of cocon, 14 cents; pocket comb, 6 cents; can of corn, 10 cents; shaving brushes, 15 cents; tooth brushes, 12 cents; can stringless beans, 10 cents; bottle ginger ale, 9 cents; can plum pudding, 32 cents; standard $5 safety razors, $1.75; pair shoe laces, 3 cents; can talcum powder, 5 cents; pound cut-loaf sugar, 10 cents; spool cotton thread, 4 cents; two-ounce package smoking tobacco, 7 cents; hand soap, 1 cent; can lobsters, 25 cents; shaving soap, 4 cents; bottle Worcestershire sauce, 20 cents; linen handkerchiefs, 16 cents; pint bottle olives, 23 cents; can green peas, 10 cents; shoe polish, 9 cents. Although the men are issued ample rations the quartermaster stores are opened to the enlisted men for the purpose of permitting them to add to their menu or to satisfy individual desires for dainties or delicacies. The highest grade of merchandise only is carried in stock so that the men may be sure of having the best, whether in rations or extra supplies. Meats, groceries, fish, vegetables, notions, toilet articles, smokers' articles, and scores of miscellaneous items are included in the published price lists. These lists are made available to each company and purchases may be made either for cash or on credit. Among the staples to be found in these chain stores are: Fresh beef, ham, bacon, turkey, potatoes, rice, hominy, beans, onions, coffee, tea, sugar, cheese, cocon, butter, and evaporated fruits. The canned fruits and vegetables include: Apples, peaches, apricots, pears, cherries, currants, pineapples, prunes, asparagus, sweet corn, tomatoes, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, spinach, squash, turnips and beans. Included in the list of canned meats and fish are: Lobsters, oysters, salmon, mackerel, cod, sardines, shrimps, herring, deviled crabs, sausages, tongue, turkey, deviled ham, corned beef, corned-beef hash, roast beef and mincemeat. For the man with a sweet tooth there are: Jams, jellies, preserves, raisins, apple butter, maple slurp, molasses, cranberry sauce, citron, nuts, candy, etc. The smoker may purchase smoking tobacco and chewing tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, pipes, cigarette papers and matches. The incidental needs of all the men are supplied with razors, combs, brushes for all purposes, buttons, soap, shaving sticks, shaving mugs, mirrors, razor strops, shoe polish, shoe laces, toilet water, talcum powder, tooth powder, witch-hazel, towels, handkerchiefs, pocketknives, needles, thread, candles and playing cards. In one army camp there are 55 battallon baseball teams, besides the headquarters, staff, brigade and division teams. More than 800 penalties for violation of rules and regulations governing licensed dealers in foodstuffs have been imposed during the past ten months by the food administration. About 150 companies and individuals have been ordered to quit business in licensed commodities for a limited or unlimited period, and over 500 have voluntarily made a money payment, usually to the Red Cross, or have temporarily abstained from doing business rather than risk calling down more drastic penalties. The "overseas cap" now being issued to soldiers in the expeditionary forces matches the uniform in color, has a very low crown, and has no brim or peak. It is so made that it may be folded and carried in a pocket. When American forces entered the trenches it was found that the brims of their campaign hats interfered with sighting through trench periscopes and that in the cases of tall men the high crowns could be seen above the parapets. The new cap is so low that it permits the men to move with practically the same freedom as when they are hattles. The trench helmet can be worn over it. Only soldiers who have been with the expeditionary forces wear the cap. According to reports from France new regulations provide that officers shall wear their insignia of rank on the cap, and enlisted men place on it the button prescribed to be worn on the left side of the collar of the service coat. The total cost for National army cantonments was $140,726,473, according to a statement by the war department. The National Guard camps cost $38,375,272. Emergency work to provide for soldiers in this country and to provide buildings for the manufacture and storage of army supplies both here and abroad undertaken by the construction division of the army, which has been executed or is under way and in prospect up to June 1, will cost about $1,170,619,000. This total is exclusive of three operations costing $106,000,000, under the direct control of the ordnance department. Up to June 1 the construction division had completed 53 jobs, at a total cost of $202,250,000. It has 244 operations under way, which, when finished, will cost about $270,369,000. Preparations are being made to start work on 117 new operations which are expected to cost $700,000,000. Two out of every 1,000 men in the army have to have their shoes made to order. In several camps entire regiments have had their feet measured, and hundreds of drawings were made of odd shapes and sizes. At the present time the army uses between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 pairs of shoes a month. Facts brought out in tests seem to prove that men in the present army are larger than those serving in previous wars. Not only is this shown by the larger sizes of shoes called for, but by the larger sizes of outer clothing that is being required. Records in the quartermaster corps show that a size larger, on the average, is being demanded in blouses, shirts and breeches than have ever before been used. 一 As a result of the studies at the front, methods have been developed whereby more than 80 per cent of the wounded, who originally remained at the military hospitals for months, are now cured and returned to the forces in three or four weeks. In order that army surgeons stationed at camps, cantonments, and other military hospitals in this country may thoroughly understand the latest treatment of war wounds, the army medical department has had established special classes of instruction to which are sent selected officers who, upon completion of their courses, return to their own hospitals and instruct other surgeons in these methods. "Duty to one's country does not end on the parade ground, nor even on the battlefield, but consists in doing everything in one's power to help win the war," says an order issued by General Pershing, a copy of which has been received by the war department. "To write home frequently and regularly to keep in constant touch with family and friends is one of the soldier's most important duties. Mothers and fathers will suffer if they do not hear often from sons fighting in France. In the present large companies it is not possible for officers to write letters for their men, and every man must do it for himself." Applicants for commissions as first lieutenants in the engineer corps, according to a statement by the war department, should be between thirty-two and thirty-six years of age and for commissions as captains between thirty-six and forty-two. The engineer corps is conducting a campaign for 2,000 more commissioned officers, the examining board making a tour of the principal cities of the country to make examination readily available for applicants. The $120,000,000 allotted for the plants is expected to give the government a smokeless powder production capacity equal to all other American plants combined. In construction of the plants it was found necessary to build a new town on each site to house the employees, and approximately 9,000 different buildings were erected. Streets were put down and sewered, power plants constructed, and stores and hospitals built. Approximately 35,000 men worked on construction and about 30,000 will eventually be engaged in the actual production of powder. Thousands of women are employed in the United States gas-mask plant. They are acting as inspectors and are engaged throughout the entire process of manufacture, according to a statement from the gas defense service. Hundreds of girls have been trained in the special art of sewing the face pieces. Each separate step in the assembling of the mask is done by women workers, until the mask is completed, the last inspection is made and the final product is ready for shipment overseas.

SCHOLTZ WITCH HAZEL FOR $HAVING winning the croix de guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout the Colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service NEGRO SOLDIERS BRAVE. Seek Dangerous Duty, Pershing Says, Denying German Story, Recalls Heroic Fighting, Refutes Charge that Colored Troops Are Given More Hazardous Posts Than White, in Message to Secretary Baker, Shows Small Losses in Official Figures—Lauds Combat Regiments. "The only regret expressed by Colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions, and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them taus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the Colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." Washington, D. C., June 22—Formal denial of reports circulated in this country presumably by German agents, that Negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces are being given more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the War Department yesterday by Gen. Pershing. The message said the Negroes were in high spirits and that their only complaint was that they were not given more active service. Gen. Pershing said he could not "command too highly the spirit shown among the Colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN E. 23rd Ave. and Washington St. Presbyter, J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. Last Sabbath Dr. R. A. Randolph worshipped with the People's Presbyterian. As a personal friend of the pastor and a well-wisher of the church we are always glad to have the Dr. with us The general's cablegram, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said. At the forenoon services tomorrow Dr. R. A. Randolph will deliver the message. The evening service will be under the auspices of one of the women's organizations of the church. The public is cordially invited to both these religious engagements "The stories, orpbably invented by German agents, that Colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. During a pastorate covering over nine years in Denver musical talents from other communions have repeatedly supported our musical efforts in the People's Church and the community in general. Without these helpers the quality of music handled in the Presbyterian Church of Denver could not have been sung. In the past wherever the least ability musically has been demonstrated, the Presbyter has contributed pecuniary help, moral influence both to young and old in and out of the church, to local experts as well as imported talents to introduce them to the public and thus help people to establish themselves professionally in the minds of the best thinking people of the community, who are able to pass sober, but yet impartial, judgment on such person's achievements. We at this time call on the friends of Denver to once more co-operate with us to show our appreciation of this class of noncommunicants helpers of the choir. To this end a complimentary concert will take place in the Church Auditorium Thursday night, July the 11th, at 8:45 o'clock. The opening and closing choruses will be sung by the choir. The other part of the program will be rendered by the above described class of persons. Buy a ticket and attend the concert. The night will be profitably and pleasantly spent. Figures on Losses. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four Colored combatant regiments now in France: The 369th infantry—Died of wounds, 3; died of diseases, 8; severely wounded, 2. The 370th infantry—died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. The 371st infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. The 372d infantry—Died of wounds, none, died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. "A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters shows the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to leave combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of on the western front. Camp Dodge, Iowa, June 21.—Private William Head, one of the four soldiers tried here by a general court-martial two weeks ago for criminal assault upon a 17-year-old white girl, has been acquitted and restored to active army duty.

RUTH CARPER AND WENDELL CREWS VICTIMS OF AUTOMO- BILE ACCIDENT AT GOLDEN Ruth, the beloved daughter of Mrs. Kate Carper of 2705 Downing Avenue met an untimely death when she was drowned in the river at Golden last Wednesday evening on returning to Denver, the result of an automobile accident, while Wendell Crews, one of the party according to physicians has no chance of recovery. It is said that another machine attempted to cross them on the road to Denver and the chauffeur in endeavoring to get out of the way got too near the edge when the car skidded and turned over in the ditch below. Up to the time of xoing to press the girl's body has not been recovered. Miss Carper was @ delightful member of the younger set and was very popular in social circles being generally well liked. Young Crews is also popular and will be very much missed in the community if he succumbs to his injuries.

By this new system every boy is required to reg- ister immediately up>) entering the building. The registrgtion includes time of arrival, working, and where, hour of reporting: for work, and the hour of leaving the building. This also acts as a protection to the boy and an aid to the home. It afso as- sists in keeping a reord of the boy's conduct while at the building. The attendance at the meeting Sunday afternoon was ‘made up al- most wholly of the very young men. They were fully repaid for coming, because the address of the Rev. Dr. Dudley, pastor of the East Side Chris- tian Church, was one of great inspir- ation and help. He took as his sub- ject, “Saved by Christ.” He told the young men tbat in spite of their pe- culiar problem, it was clear beyond doubt that God had saved them for a purpose; their first purpose, he satd, was to serve themselyes—their race. The meeting was remarkable in that the young men held an after meeting and organzied themselves in- to a chtb to keep the meetings going all summer, instead of closing with next Sunday’s meeting, as had been planned. The young men themselves will manage the programs beginning with July 14th. This action will no doubt infuse new life into the meet- ings. A great public meeting of the “Y” will be held next Sunday afternoon at the Zion Baptist Church at, 3:30 o'clock. The address will be déliver- ed by the Rev. Dr. Robert B. H, Bell, rector of St Thomas’ piscopal Church. Dr, Bell is regarded as one of the most eloquent preachers in Denver. and is a great friend of the race, Hverybody is invited, Next Sunday evening the Glee Club will render a program at Campbell A.

It is a real awakening to these visitors to find here in the heart of the once “Great American Desert” a magnificent, strictly mod- ern store, fifteen feet longer (though less in aggregate size) than the splendid building of the Marshall Field Co. in Chicago, whose extreme extent is $85 feet, whereas "The Denver,” Sixteenth to Fifteenth streets, has a length of exactly 400 feet.

The magnificent scale upon which everything about “The Denyer” is built and conducted is a feature that creates a lasting impression. Within there is a view throughout 50,000 square feet on each of the floors from the basement to the fourth, and of an area 125x175 feet on the two floors above, and owing to the modern style of low shelving and miscel- laneous fixtures, those broad vistas are little obstructed.

All people cannot do all the kinds of labor that are necessary to produce food. But here is an op- portunity for those who cannot plant and plow, harvest and gather into the garner—an opportunity to make ayall- able large quantities of as good food as there 1s in the world. Housewife as Director. Probably the housewife, in most cases, will haye to be the director of the canning operations. But, in most cases, she will not have to do all, or even the greater part, of the labor. In most of the processes of canning, boys | and girls—even comparatively small boys and girls—can be efficient help- ers. Old persons—grandmothers who have ceased to be active heads of houses and grandfathers who have Jong’ since retired from bustness—can ‘do excellent work in helping along the canning operations—can render as real and as efficient service to the nation as thelr stalwart sons who are growing food crops or making munitions of war or building ships.

HUN'S SUBMARINE Fabric of International Economic Life Is Threatened. DEPENDING ON LAND POWER Germany’s Aims Must Be Thwarted, Forcing Her to the Sea and Ob- servance of Its Rules of Freedom, By FRANK J. GOODNOW. (From the Committee on Public. Informa- what was probably the greatest achievement of the human Intellect. ‘This was the bringing about of the | economic unity of the world. Since | the opening of the present century it may be said that no country which has any marked development has been self- sufficient. The products of the trop- fes have become articles of necessity to the Inhabitants of the temperate zone, The minerals which nature has | stored in such profusion in particular | districts are regarded as held in trust for the world at large. Failure in the crop of certain staples like cotton, which can be grown only “under pe- culiar conditions, is felt in distant lands. Drought in the Australian an- tipodes makes it difficult for Europe to clothe herself in wool. | ‘This economie world unity has been the result of a slow development. | Many things hive contributed to its | growth, Without, however, the recog- nition of the freedom of the seas it | would have been impossible. ‘The transportation of many products 1s conditioned by the cheapness of freight rates Incident to water routes. ‘These routes are available for general use only if the sea is free to all who desire to use it, unmolested from at- |tack. ‘Their interruption as a result of the naval operations of the present | war has been followed by scarcity in | many countries. ‘The freedom of the sea became an established fact only in comparatively recent times. A perusal of the quaint phraseology of some marine insurance policies, often still retained beyond the times to which it 1s applicable, re- yeals the dangers Incident to ocean travel not so many years ago. Pirates, potentates and princes all combined not so long ago to make the risks of ocean travel extra hazardous. The claims of potentates and princes to monopolize the ocean were recognized as Incapable of Justification only a few hundred years back. Pirates. still plied their nefarious trade within the memory of living men. Indeed, pirates are still to be found in the rivers and estuarles of southern China, and mer- chant ships in that part of the world are compelled to arm themselves even now against piratical attack, as was universally the case the world over not much more than one hundred years ago. No Peculiar Rights to Sea. ‘The freedom of the sea against pl- ratical attack was secured by the united efforts of all seafaring nations who treated the pirate as an outlaw to whom no consideration or quarter was to be given. Long before this result was reached {t was determined by common agreement that no one coun- try should claim any particular rights ih the sea such as Spain and Portu- gal had with papal sanction once set up. Apart from the influence of prin- ciples of justice, 1t was found as a practical matter that live and let live was the only principle which could be applied. For interference with the ships of any country was easily re- payable in kind. Ceaseless hostility between seafaring powers would have followed the application of any other policy, as it did actually follow the monopolistic attempts of Spain. ‘The significance of the submarine which has first been used in the war now raging consists in the fact that {ts use imperfls the economic unity of the world to which attention has been called. The submarine threatens the freedom of the seas through the recognition of which progress in the direction of world economic unity has been made possible. The submarine threatens the freedom of the seas be- cause no adequate method of defense against {t has as yet been discovered. If it 1s used as it has been in the past few years by a nation whose chief con- cern 1s land rather than sea power, retaliation and reprisal are imposs{ble. Two can play at the game of sea mo-| nopoly when surface shipping and sea- faring nations are concerned. But where the submarine fs used by a power whose interests are continental rather than oceanic the game which is played is quite a one-sided one. All the pow- er which 1s attacked can do is to en- deayor to destroy as many submarines as possible, and recent experience would go to show that such a policy 1s not effective. A power which makes use of submarines for the destruction of merchant shipping of course in- vites reprisals, but if that power has no shipping such reprisals are im- possible. Owed Existence to Britain. ‘This 1s the situation at the present time. The submarine is the weapon of the German empire whose seacoast 18 both small and completely under the control of Great Britain so far as con- cerns its use as a base for sea power. ‘Gariiane had (tt tenn’ a kate ‘that merchant marine owed its very existence to the forbearance of Great Britain and that at the first breath ef war it would melt away, Germany, therefore, determined to pin her faith on railways which should pass through lands under her control. This Is the secret of the Berlin-Bag- dad railway. ‘This Is the reason why ‘Turkey was brought under her domin- ton and Serbia was sacrificed, To this belief In her continental destiny 1s due the desire to exercise her influence over Austria, ‘The fulfillment of her plan Involved the control of Constanti- nople, since only at Constantinople can the water separating Europe from Asla Minor be crossed. Serbia had to be subjected to her dominion because the only practicable path for a rall- way to Constantinople was through the Morava valley which lay in Serb- lan territory, If Germany caa control this route she need not consider her unfavorable position as regards the sea, She will have a commercial high- way unassailable by any power. She will also have a vast territory capable of economie development. She can finally make the present sea routes so dangerous by attack from submarine bases, either in the north or in the neighborhood of Constantinople, that they will have to be abandoned. ‘The freedom of the seas will have been destroyed, the economle unity of the world seriously impaired, and the work of centuries rendered of little or no avail. Must Destroy Land Power. ‘The submarine is significant to us then not because through its use Bev- eral hundred American lives have been lost or because a few American ships have been destroyed, but because the whole fabric of international eco- nomie Hfe Is threatened. The only way In which to save that Ufe—and that it Is worth saving none will deny —s to destroy Germany's land power, or cause her to realize that the world will not permit any nation so to con- duct herself as to imperil ideals which after so many years of toll and trou- ble on the part of the civilized world have received all but universal recog- nition. ‘That we as Americans are in- terested in these questions is thus quite evident. At first blush the in- terest which we have in securing to Serbia an outlet on the Adriatic, or in the rehabilitation of the Balkan states does not perhaps appear. Nor 1 the reason evident, perhaps, at first why we should insist upon the emanci- pation of the Slays submerged In the Austro-Hungarian empire. A strong Serbla and a weak Austria, however, are absolutely necessary if Germany is still disposed to use the submarine in the manner in which it has been used. For only under these condi- tlons will the land route upon which she has staked so much become Impos- sible, Only when such a land route has been abandoned will Germany be forced to return to the sea. When she does she will find {t necessary to observe the rules which have been elaborated to protect the freedom of the sea. Only when she does so can we hope for a further development in the direction of the economic unity of the world which means so much for human progress, .

IS REALLY A WAR MEASURE Agricultural Department Hopes to Use "Conscientious Objectors" in Work on Gardens Around Army Camps Trade Boycott of Germany. Washington. — Naturally shippers protest against the advance in freight rates. For nearly a half a century, since the Granger movement was first started, there has been a protest on the part of shippers against high freight rates. Most of the prejudice that has been built up against railroads in the past has been due to the belief on the part of shippers that freight rates have been exorbitant. Of course the shippers made the producers and the consumers pay these rates and this prejudice among the people finally resulted in the Granger legislation in the several states and interstate commerce legislation by congress, all with a view of curbing the railroads and reducing rates. No one except Director General McAdoo could have put over anything quite so startling as the increase of freight and passenger rates. And even if government ownership or control had come to us when we were not at war, the people would not have stood for the advance in freight rates. Previous to the war when the railroads made an application for a 15 per cent advance the protest against such an increase was such as to prevent it. But as long as the railroads have been taken over for war purposes and are run by the government the increased rates must be accepted by the public, although the shippers will continue to protest. The increase in passenger rates may be protested, but the protests will be ineffective, as the average individual will not make a complaint. Although a large number of this "average individual" makes up the "public," he is not very effective in protests because his protests are individual instead of collective as in the case of the shippers. The average individual will pay his extra railroad fare and say nothing. The agricultural department has an idea that it can reach "conscientious objectors," those individuals who use their conscience to prevent them from going to war, by drafting them for service in work on gardens around army camps. The department has also undertaken to utilize men who are unfit for overseas duty for the same purpose. Maybe they will finally go far enough to take German prisoners and interned aliens and set them to work growing crops. The Germans do not hesitate to use all their prisoners for work behind the lines, and in this time of labor shortage the United States might well do the same. We have frequently heard men in congress describe the difference between an "agriculturalist" and a farmer. As one man put it: "The farmer farms the farm and the agriculturalist farms the farmer." But it remained for Congressman Caraway of Arkansas to introduce a new one. During discussion of an agricultural bill in the house he said: "I have observed that whenever a bill dealing with agriculture is to be discussed, all shade-tree farmers arise." It was unfortunate that he did not go further and describe the "shade-tree farmer." However, it may be surmised that the "shade-tree farmer" is rarely covered with the sweat and grime of the fields. Possibly the U-boat warfare brought to our own shores will result in arousing the American people to a more thorough appreciation of the fact that they are really in the war. If our people would consider for a moment they would see that just at present this nation is really the most important factor in the world war. At present we do not have the most troops nor the most ships, but we are rapidly preparing to equal any nation in the number of troops and also in the number of available transports. But a mighty factor in the whole thing is that the United States since it entered the war has financed and fed the nations which are fighting the central powers. It ought not to have taken an attack by U-boats upon our ships within sight of our shores to arouse our people. But now that they are aroused they will probably make the Huns understand that they made a second mistake in regard to the United States. The first was when they forced this country into the war. This last attempt is one intended to frighten our people, and the result will be to make them more determined than ever to put an end to German frightfulness. Real economy knows no politics. This was shown when Senator Thomas was conducting his lonesome fight against the new pension bill. "The situation," according to Senator Thomas, "presents one bill from the house, championed by a Democrat, and another in the senate, championed by a Repubilcan, and seemingly involves the problem as to which of the two parties shall have the distinguished honor of increasing the expenses of the government." Senator Smith of Michigan immediately rushed to the front with a defense of the Republicans. "Oh," remarked the Colorado senator, "I hope the senator will not misunderstand me. The Democratic party, to which I belong, when it comes to extravagant legislation is just as deep in the mud as the Republican is in the mire." Later he remarked that it was said the bill's enactment would result in 40 Democratic congressmen being elected—"one for every million dollars. I want to see Democratic congressmen elected, but I am not so anxious that I am willing to pay a million dollars apiece out of the United States treasury to accomplish that result." Postmaster General Burleson is continually making more liberal rules for the shipment of products of the farm to the cities where they are consumed. This of course applies largely to garden truck and produce of a perishable nature which must be used by the consumers without very much delay. Not only is the parcels post utilized in this connection, but the motortruck mail service is likely to be extended so that a great many more articles heretofore handled almost exclusively through commission houses can be sent direct from the farms and truck gardens to the doors of the consumers in the large cities. In West Virginia three former United States senators are candidates for the seat now occupied by Senator Nathan Goff. William E. Chilton and Clarence Watson, who served together for a number of years, are contesting for the Democratic nomination. Davis Elkins is a candidate for the Republican nomination. Davis Elkins served for a few months, being appointed by the governor to succeed his father, the late Stephen B. Elkins. The West Virginia legislature elected Watson to succeed Davis Elkins. West Virginia is considered a close state politically. Whenever there is a 5-to-4 decision by the Supreme court it means that the question is settled for the time being, but subject to reversal when the court changes, or when, as sometimes happens, a change in the constitution follows. We may now look forward to an effort to amend the constitution so as to give greater control over interstate commerce by the national government which will make plain the power of the government to prohibit the transportation of goods made by child labor. The child labor law being declared unconstitutional by a 5-to-4 decision means that a new campaign will be started so as to secure the results which have been so long sought for by the proponents of this legislation. Probably a few people recall the dramatic features attached to the enactment of the child labor law which has just been declared unconstitutional. Congress was about to adjourn in 1910 and the Democrats of the senate had decided that they would not pass the child labor law. In fact, quite a compact organization had been formed to talk the bill to death. Then word came from the White House that President Wilson wanted that child labor law enacted before congress adjourned, and with considerable grumbling the Democratic leaders took up the burden and put it through. More than five years ago Senator Cummins of Iowa introduced and had passed a resolution providing for the investigation of an "insidious lobby" which was then said to be operating for the purpose of preventing the passage of the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill. That committee has never made any report and we do not know whether it found an "insidious lobby;" for that matter, we don't recollect what it did discover. Now comes Senator Borah, following the reference of President Wilson in his last message to congress relative to "profiteers" and insists upon an investigation to find out who the profiteers are, and incidentally as to why they are allowed to operate. The probabilities are that no investigation will find very much more than has the lobby investigating committee which is still in existence. Of course men have made money out of the war; men always make money out of wars; the great difficulty is in finding the criminal, either in lobbying or profiteering. Neither may be commendable, and they are oftentimes disreputable, but investigations which cannot put the actual stamp of criminality upon people are not very effective. "Jullus Kahn stands up." is a phrase that has frequently been heard and it means that this sterling representative from California has from the time the war began been one of the stanchest supporters of every measure and movement to make it a success that has come before congress or the country. Kahn is the ranking Republican member of the committee on military affairs and at times he has been in charge of bills to support the administration's war policy because the Democratic members of that committee have been opposed to such measures. In the recent discussion of the big army appropriation bill Congressman Kahn set at rest many rumors that had been afloat regarding alleged improper action by the government in different military matters. Perversity. "Why does Bliggins insist on talking? He knows his remarks make people angry." "Yes. But that's the part of it that he seems to enjoy." CALL 367,961 MEN TO COLORS DURING MONTH OF JULY LARG EST QUOTA TO BE TAKEN IN LIKE PERIOD. WILL EXHAUST CLASS 1 CHAMBERLAIN SAYS U. S. WILL CALL 877,000 IN LAST HALF Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. — White and negro draft registrants numbering 124,525 were summoned to the colors for general military service in a call issued Wednesday by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Mobilization will take place at intervals during the month of July, starting with the entrainment of 33,259 white selected men on July 5. Wednesday's call, combined with that for 220,000 to be mobilized July 22-25 ordered by Gen. Crowder Tuesday night and with the various special calls previously issued will remove from civilian life during July a total of 367,961 men, the largest number of men summoned in any one month since the draft became operative. The call issued June 26 is divided into four sections for entrainment purposes. From July 5 to 9, white registrants numbering 33,259 are to be entrained; from July 15 to 19, white, 21,255; July 16 to 20, negroes, 45,000; and from July 29 to 31, negroes, 25,011. For the July 5-9 call, Wyoming will send 1,000 to Fort Logan, and on July 15-19, Colorado will send 718 and Wyoming 282 to Fort Logan for training. The War Department is planning to call 877,000 men between Aug. 1 and Jan. 1 next, Senator Chamberlain told the Senate. August, 300,000; September, 150,000; October, 150,000; November, 150,000; December, 125,000. The 2,000 remaining troops will be replacement troops. These draft calls will entirely exhaust Class 1, Chamberlain declared. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska gave figures stating that in August, when the final call on men in Class 1 will have exhausted that class, there will be 3,300,000 men in the army and that the highest estimate of the number of American troops which will be in France by that time is 1,450,000. After a conference with Secretary Baker and his aides the Senate military committee decided to follow their recommendations and to oppose any legislation at this time changing the draft age limits. AMERICANS ROUT HUNS Shot-Torn Austrians Drowned in Plave River as Italians Drive Ahead. With the American Army in France, June 27.—In an attack upon the German lines on the Marne front the American troops extended their line northwest of Belleu wood. All the positions held by the Austrians on the lower Plave, constituting the Capo Sile bridgehead, have now been taken by the Italians, and the entire western bank of the Plave is clear of the enemy. Nearly 400 prisoners were taken in the enterprise. Aside from this fighting there has been little activity in the southern section of the Italian theater. Seemingly the chase of the enemy on the eastern bank of the Plave has ended, at least for the time being. The Austrian losses are now estimated at 250,000. Of these it is reported that fully 20,000 were drowned in the retreat across the upper Piave. In the mountains heavy bombardments were in progress in various sectors Wednesday, and intensive aerial operations are going on along the entire front. The Rome war office reasserts that all the artillery lost by the Italians to the Austrians in the initial stage of the fighting has been recaptured. On the battle front in France and Flanders the operations continue of a minor character. The British both in Flanders and Picardy have carried out successfully attacks against the Germans and taken further prisoners and machine guns. Likewise, the French northwest of Montdidier have raided an enemy position, inflicted losses and taken prisoners. Basel, Switzerland.—A rumor has reached here from Berlin that Dr. Richard von Kuehlmann, the German foreign secretary, will resign his portfolio. Russia Will Come Back—Kerensky. London.—"I am certain the Russian people shortly will join with you in the great cause of freedom," Alexander Kerensky, former Russian premier, declared in an address at the British labor conference here. "I have just come from Moscow. My duty as a statesman and Socialist is to tell the whole world that the Russian people are a democracy, fighting tyranny." Kerensky's appearance was dramatic. He was introduced by Arthur Henderson, the British labor leader, and loudly theered. Western Beef Co. Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

If wages were reduced or even remained stationary as they are, a big proportion of the street railway employés would quit the cars, shops, track work and offices. This expectation is reasonable and consistent, and is one of the big reasons why President Wilson has said: "It is essential that these utilities should be maintained at their maximum efficiency and that everything reasonably possible should be done with that end in view. I hope that state and local authorities, where they have not already done so, will, when the facts are properly laid before them, respond promptly to the necessities of the situation." To prevent the need of taking any extreme action which might be unfair to the public, the employés or the Denver street railways, which have been running behind and showing serious deficits for the past few years without finding themselves any better off than at the start, because they have to pay out more than they took in The entire proposition affecting Denver's street railways has been placed before the Public Utilities Commission for a decision based on the actual cost of operations. Upon their decision depends the future of Denver's street railway lines. TRIBUNE THE BICYCLE THAT WILL DO ITS BIT.

THE FASHION OF THE TRAVELLER In the New England Bulletin of the American Red Cross there is a splendid review of its work during the past year from which the following is an extract under the title of "The Human Side." "The American Red Cross recognizes that our first duty for humanity in this war is the protection of our soldiers in France. It recognizes also that this duty lies with the United States government and that the government is responsible for it. As a supplementary relief organization the Red Cross stands ready to co-operate with the government in this work, and to put its organization, money and supplies into service at the call of the American army whenever and wherever they can be of use. Fully realizing the disadvantages that are always met in a foreign country, and with the view of keeping our soldiers in touch with things American, the Red Cross begins at the port of landing in France by establishing rest stations. These rest stations extend inland toward the camps and are located in a series at junction points and railroad stations where the soldiers are required to wait for train connections. "Chief work of the American Red Cross in helping care for wounded soldiers lies in its co-operation with the government in supplying an efficient nursing service; in assisting the Army Medical corps in cases of emergency, and in furnishing materials for hospitals. There were on March 1, 1918, more than twenty-three hundred American Red Cross nurses employed in base hospitals and in the French military hospitals throughout the republic. The total number of hospitals of various sorts in the French republic exceeds five thousand, and more than half of these are receiving all or part of their medical and surgical supplies from the American Red Cross. Re-education. "The re-education of mutilated sol- MORE STYL SERVICE Women are swarming into new activities to meet the needs of industry and to release men for service at the front. These war times call upon every individual to do some kind of work, excusing only the very old or the very young from active service. And women are acquitting themselves like men. They are getting down to business in uniforms scientifically designed to meet the requirements of the various kinds of work they have undertaken to do, and to meet their own sense of fitness. Many a smart uniform proclaims that its wearer is doing her bit by discharging the duties of some man who is "over there"—or on the way. For the factory or farm or garden there are overettes and service suits like those shown in the picture. They prove to be immensely convenient for house work, and for outings in the woods or mountains there is nothing so comfortable and satisfactory as the service suit. For tramping, climbing and fishing it has any outfit that includes a skirt discredited: there is no comparison between them for convenience. For work that does not demand braches or bifurcated skirts there is diers is being carried on jointly by the French government and the American Red Cross. There are between fifty and sixty schools of various kinds for this work. The Red Cross has provided more than six hundred mutilated soldiers with artificial legs of the best type, and has established a factory near Paris where artificial limbs are manufactured. By arranging for consultation between the surgeon and the manufacturer, the Red Cross has been able to secure the best possible treatment for each case. With the wanton destruction of homes by the Ge. man army and the uprooting of the population in the devastated regions, the home as an institution in France is in peril. Realizing this condition, the Red Cross is endeavoring to keep the soldiers' homes intact; to find homes for the outcast children who have neither homes nor parents, and to help the refugees and repatriates to find a place to live until they shall be able to rebuild their homes. "The most telling work of the Red Cross in France, as far as helping to win the war goes, is the care of the families of the French soldiers. The Red Cross is giving to the needy families of these French soldiers supplies and money, according to their needs. "When the German army invaded France, hundreds of thousands of French people were driven from their homes and are now scattered throughout the republic. These people are known as refugees. The number has increased, of course, for various reasons until now there are more than 1,200,000, embracing all classes and ages, except able-bodied men. There are approximately 500,000 refugees in Paris alone. "The housing of these people is one of the greatest problems of the French government. The American Red Cross is co-operating with the French government in this work." LES IN GARMENTS a service suit like this except that it has a skirt. All these suits are made of Warren Jean material in khaki color. Caps and hats to match are made to be worn with them. Smart society women who have dedicated their cars and services to the government have donned a tunic uniform for driving them. Girls who are replacing young men as ushers in the theaters are uniformed in spirited coat and breeches suits with puttees and dashing little caps. Women serving in canteens like to be uniformed, Red Cross workers don cap and apron—everywhere the service garment is worn as a proud badge of duty fulfilled.
