With this spirit a never-to-be-forgotten event presented itself in Denver, and the impressions left upon young and old will very soon reflect the good that this organization is doing among us. Brief Account of Daily Proceedings. The convention held its regular meetings in Shorter A. M. E. Church, Twenty-third and Washington streets, Rev C. A. Williams, pastor. Sectional meetings were held in the Negro Women's Club House, the Y. W. C. A. Club Rooms and the People's Presbyterian Church. The Art exhibit was at the Art Building, 2713 Welton street. A great mass meeting was held at Zion Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, July 7th. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the N. A. C. W., conducted the opening and presented Miss Hallie Q. Brown, chairman of the Executive Committee, who presided. The convention proper was called to order Monday morning with more than 200 delegates in attendance. A great meeting was held in the City Auditorium. Welcome addresses were made by Governor Gunter of Colorado, Dr. Sharpley, representing the Mayor of Denver, Mrs. Gertie N. Ross, Rev. David E. Over, Mr. L. H. Lightner, Mrs. Isabelle Stewart and Mrs. Theta Miller. Responses were made by Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass.; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mrs. Charlotte Hawkins Brown of North Carolina. Music was rendered by Miss Freita Shaw of Portland, Ore.; Mrs. Jennie Hicks Le Noir, Mr. George Morrison, Mr. Valaure Spratlin and the Morrison orchestra. Madam C. J. Walker gave a short, impressive talk by request of the president. Tuesday morning the convention was presided over by Mrs. J. C. Napier, wife of the president of the National Negro Business League, and daughter of the late Congressman, John Mercer Langston. Mrs. Talbert, the president, delivered her annual address. This address was a wonderful document, covering two years of active service of about 100,000 club women, who have as their motto, "LIFTING AS WE CLIMB." In her address, Mrs. Talbert spoke out against lynching, riots, all forms of segregation, jim-crow cars, and discrimination of all sorts. At the conclusion of the president's address, Mrs. Lang of the Denver Woman's Club, who had just returned from the convention of her own people in Little Rock, Ark., gave the following poem, which had been given them by the Governor of that state: Here's to the sons of the sun-kiss'd South South As they meet on the fields of France; May the spirit of Lee be with them all As the sons of the South advance. Here's to the sons of the wind-swept France --- VOL. XXIV. As they meet on the fields today; May the spirit of Grant be with them all. As the sons of the North advance. And here's to the sons of the Blue and As they meet on the fields in France. May the Spirit of God be with all of them. As the sons of the race advance. Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, professor in Wilberforce University, Ohio, the oldest Negro College, writes the following parody: And here's to the sons of a darker race, Who are marching in France with a sunlit face; May the spirit of Langston, Douglass and Payne Fire their souls for liberty, honor and fame. And here's to the women of a darker race, Who are fitting themselves for a higher place; May the spirit of Harriet, the Moses, inspire; The women in black to climb higher and higher. Wednesday was a greater day in the Association's life, as the mortgage on the Frederick Douglass home at Anacosta, Washington, D. C., was burnt at the public meeting held in the evening at Shorter Church, Madam C. J. Walker applying the lighted taper. This generous woman of the race, who has acquired wealth thru her own efforts, contributed $500.00 to the liquidation of this debt. This home is to become the permanent headquarters of the National Association of Colored Women, and should be viewed with pride by members of the race. Many relics, including the violin' Mr. Douglas played, will help to make the home attractive. Among the speakers at this session were Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, prominent Denver physician, who spoke on the history of the former Douglas home and offered every encouragement to the women in their very useful work. Other speakers for the day were Mrs. W. H. Kistler (white), chairman of the Women's Council of Defence, and Miss Emily Griffith (white), of the Opportunity school, who spoke on support for the war and in favor of race equality, respectively. Greetings in telegraphic messages were received from the War Department and other official heads of our government, expressing delight in the success attending the convention. Lawyer Addie Dickerson of Philadelphia presided at the afternoon session, and pledged the first $100.00 toward an endowment of the Fred Douglas Memorial Home. The audience rose and sang the Star Spangled Banner, while thirty Colored women in Red Cross, regalia marched down the aisles. Miss Lettie Welch, director of the Rocky Mountain Bureau of Red Cross Nurses; Dr. Mary Waring of Chicago, Miss Eva Bowles, secretary of the National Young Women's Christian Association, Colored Department—the speakers gave very interesting information as to what has been accomplished by the women, and urged a continuance of hearty co-operation.

THIS is to be the very busy day of the convention of the National Association of Colored Women. Aside from many reports and other business, the election of officers this afternoon will be at least an interesting feature. Miss Elizabeth C. Carter of New Bedford, Mass., historian, will give the history of the National Association of Colored Women. Mrs. Lizzie Froman of Denver will conduct a suffrage and temperance symposium. There was a wonderful meeting held in Shorter Chapel last evening when Miss Mary White Ovington of Brooklyn, New York, spoke upon the "Aims and Achievement of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. At 8 o'clock they assembled and standing room was at a premium. Miss Ovington is a wealthy white woman whose sympathy went out some years ago to the Colored people and she has given unstinted service under the auspices of the N. A. C. P. In part she said: "This Association, made up of Colored and white people, has its headquarters at 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Its president is the eminent Boston lawyer, Moorfield Storey, former president of the Americap Bar Association. The chairman of its board of directors is Major J. E. S. Pingarng, attached to the general staff of the United States army at Washington. Its secretary is John R. Shillady, an authority on questions of labor and unemployment. A former secretary, Capt. Roy Nash, is somewhere in France leading the only artillery manned by Colored men in the world. The editor of the Crisis, its organ, is Dr. W. E. B. Du Boid, in nine years has brought the circulation up from 1200 to 75,000. Its Field Secretary is James Weldon Johnson, orator, novelist and poet. "The object of the association is to secure to the Negro in the United States his full civil and political rights. It believes that in a democracy there is no place for a subject people; and it has striven during the nine years of its existence to secure for colored people their full status as citizens. In its work it has the law always on its side since all racial discrimination in this country is by our constitution, illegal. "What has it done? It has no monument in brick or stone as you have in your noble Douglass Memorial Home. But it has written into the law of the land, two monuments that it can turn to and, as it were, present to you as its greatest contributions during its nine years of life. These monuments are the two Supreme Court decisions; one declaring the Grandfather Clause, which permitted and ignorant white man of the South to vote because his grandfather fought In the Civil war, unconstitutional, the other denying the right of a municipality to segregate Negroes. Our president, Moorfield Storey, filed briefs in both of these cases and won them for the cause of the Negro and or justice. "Another monument to which we can point is the officers' training camp at Des Moines. Major Spingarn, our chairman, was in the first training camp at Plattsburg where he endeavored to secure admittance for Negroes but without successes. He became convinced that a separate camp was necessary if we were to have Negroes as leaders in this war, and by his exertions, backed by the association, the administration accepted the Negro as an officer and authorized the camp at Des Moines. We now have over a thousand Colored men holding commissions and I do not believe that there are among the white officers a finer, more highly educated, more moral group of men. "We are battling against lynching and mob violence, and if there is an editor of importance in this country who does not know about the shocking crimes that are committed against the black man, it is his fault, not ours. We have sent out hundreds of thousands of copies of our investigations of the Texas lynchings, the Tennessee lynchings, the Louisiana lynchings, the east St. Louis riots, and so on. 247 Colored men and women have been killed by mob violence since our country entered this war. We believe that the people of this country will not tolerate this mob violence but will demand the punishment of the offenders if they are only familiar with the facts. We favor legislation making lynching a federal offense. "Colored and white soldiers today across the seas are fighting for liberty in Europe. We have helped to put them there, not as laborers, as was first attempted, but as soldiers. And while they are fighting for liberty abroad we are fighting for liberty at home, liberty for them and for their families. We mean to have a good record for them when they return." Miss Ovington was frequently interrupted with applause. Lawyer Addie W. Dickerson presided at the afternoon session. About 36 colored women in the Red Cross uniform marched down the isles of the church as the great audience arose and sang "The Star-Spangled Banner." Miss Eva D. Bowles and Miss Adela F. Ruffin, secretaries of the National Board Young Women's Christian Association, were the principal speakers. Dr. Mary Waring, head of the Red Cross Dept. conducted the Red Cross demonstration. Miss Ruffin who is a Virginian is the South Atlantic Field Secretary with headquarters at Richmond, Virginia. She held her audience spellbound as she portrayed the good as well as the bad side, and declared that she would rather suffer the afflictions of her own people including the very objectional jim crow cars than to dwell in the palace of a Pharaoh. Both Miss Bowles and Miss Ruffin are doing much in directing the war work. Miss Hallie Q. Brown delivered the principal address of the midday session. Mrs. Alice Webb of Denver spoke upon "The Negro Women of the Present Day and Her Opportunity for Service." Mr. and Mrs. Horton Pope sent a check for $25.00 to the National Association of Colored Women for the upkeep of Douglass Home. The Y. W. C. A. quartet, Miss Dimple Gatewood rendered musical numbers. Mrs. Jean Hodges of Auckland, New Zealand came home for the first time in thirty years to render solos for the National Convention. By special request Miss Hallie Q. Brown gave Dunbar's "Jump Back Honey." Washington, July 3.—Decision to retain operating control of the Pullman company was announced today by the railroad administration in an order allowing wage increases for sleeping car conductors, porters and maids on the same basis as the advances recently given railroad employés. [ "Tin inch by inch we go along, Every little bit helps. -Editor. ] NO.38. A. B. MADAME C. J. WALKER of Irvington-on-the-Hudson, New York, has returned to Denver this week, a delegate to the National Association of Colored Women and the delight it affords us to express our gratification over the success of this member of our race, who is created with abnormal business ability, is almost inexpressible. Races have their leaders in various forms and features, some living to see the successful result of their leadership, while others die in the attempt, but this woman of whom the race is specially proud, has set not only a fine example of how to make and save, but how to invest, and her special qualities of philanthropy will, like others, add more to her storehouse. Many a home, an orphan, an institution, a debt, come under her system of rescue, and without ostentation she goes along with a modesty unusual to people of wealth. We are specially glad to have her with us and her deed of helping to rescue the home of our former leader, Frederick Douglas, will be a monument to her and her associates that will help to immortalize her. Madam Walker adheres to the motto, "He who gives from pity gives twice as much," and that with her genial mannerisms create a profound impression on her associates. May your business continue its success, is the wish of the Colorado Statesman. A. MRS. MARY B. TALBERT of Buffalo, N. Y., president of the National Association of Colored Women, who, firm in the belief of the God given right of co-equality of humanity, has for a number of years in her self-sacrificing and self-denying manner, advocated the cause of uplift of her race, and since her election to the position of president has worked assiduously to accomplish that which will be permanently beneficial to her race. Her pride in serving others entirely forgetful of self creates an endearment among her corps of workers as well as those she has rescued that can only be understood by them, as hers is a work of love. Her mission among us will serve to strengthen those who were becoming weary in the beautiful work of service, and the hope that she will be retained in her position for another term to complete her propaganda is voiced on every hand. We are glad to have you in Denver and we trust the impressions made on you and your associates may help to remove the peculiar opinions cherished by some of the West. A long life and further career of usefulness are our best wishes for you. FOREIGN Wires were blown down and other damage was done by a typhoon which struck the Philippines.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. --- A dispatch from San Francisco telling of the suicide of Col. James Wentworth Clinton; U. S. A., who recently returned from France, where he had been assigned to special duty with the French forces, writes a tragic "finish" to a romance that began in Denver twenty-one years ago. Colonel Clinton, whose army career ended with a bullet through his heart from his own revolver, began his military life as a trooper at Fort Logan in 1897, where he met and married Isabel Howell, daughter of Lieut. Daniel L. Howell, now Colonel Howell, commanding officer of the big Colorado army post. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Flaying Germany and her vassal states with stinging sarcasm, explaining the mistakes of the allies toward his country, describing her steadfastness and the heroism of her soldiers, and praising the United States, Lieut. Bruno Roselli, Italian army attaché of the Washington embassy of Italy and a representative of the committee on public information, brought a different phase of the war to 200 soldiers at the Fort Logan Y. M. C. A. hut. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West J. M. Collins of Eaton has reported to the State Council of Defense that there is a slight improvement in the situation confronting the milk condensers of the state which have been unable to sell their products.

ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Mystery surrounds the murder and the burial of the body of Mrs. Mattie Baker, a rooming house keeper at Pueblo.

Sixteen hundred acres of wheat, belonging to Summer brothers of Sterling, were pounded into the ground by a hailstorm that swept over the Graylin district, sixteen miles west of Sterling. The brothers had 2,180 acres in wheat, so have something of a crop left. H. C. Lewis lost sixty-two acres of crops and Joseph W. Sherer seventy acres. Many other farms were devastated by the storm. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Mrs. Eva Gove, 28 years old, of Denver, died at the county hospital from the effects of carbolic acid she had taken less than an hour before in her home. Brooding over the suffering of her 12-year-old son, Elmer Gove, who lays mangled on a white cot in another ward of the same hospital, and the death of another child, 3 years of age, only three months ago, caused her to swallow the poison, the police say. "I am not allowed to tell you many things I would like to, but I assure you that the American army is meeting with great victories and with comparatively few losses of men to what the Germans are losing," wrote Jim Goodheart, Denver city chaplain, from Paris under date of June 8 in a letter addressed to the late Mayor Robert W. Speer. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Colorado has furnished more and better aviators per capita than any other state. The number of men accepted has been slightly over 50 per cent, while the average for all other states is approximately 32 per cent, and but one Colorado man has failed at ground school. As the quotas for military service continue to be called month after month, these inroads on the labor supply is causing serious results, from a purely mining point of view, and, unless offset by some other source than is now known, they will cause a material reduction in the output of the precious metals. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Corporal Leon H. Harlow of Rifle, has been cited by General Pershing for valor on the field of action in France. Here is the citation: "He left a sick cot and volunteered to fight. He repaired five breaks in a wire during a heavy artillery and machine gun fire and carried a message safely to the regimental commander." Denver's application for a reopening of the rate order granted the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company June 14 was denied by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.

WILL LOAD 52,000 SHELLS EACH DAY GREAT GOVERNMENT PLANT IN NEW JERSEY TO START SHIPMENTS BEFORE LONG. IS LARGEST IN THE WORLD Three Others Like It Being Constructed—Medical Department Has Mobile Apparatus to Provide Pure Drinking Water in France. <From Committee on Public Information.> Washington.—Quantity if not capacity shipments will start soon from a new government shell-loading factory in New Jersey, one of four such government plants each of which is larger than any similar plant in the world. When turning out 52,000 loaded shells a day under full operation the plant will use 2,000 tons of shells and explosives daily, the products of some 75 factories. More than 5,000 workmen will be required. Plans contemplate the employment of a large number of women. The marking of shells to designate size, load and range will require 250,000 operations each day. The plant has a total area of approximately 2,500 acres. More than 100 buildings, with an aggregate floor space of 1,300,000 square feet, will provide storage for shells and parts and for material. A small city, with heating and lighting plants, water and sewage systems, hospitals, fire-fighting plant and restaurants, was built to house the employees. There is equipment to protect the health of those who work with poisonous gases, and a school for instruction in the loading of artillery ammunition with high explosives. The operating plant consists of 13 shell-loading units, each independent of the other, with equipment for loading 13 sizes of shells, ranging from the recently developed 7-millimeter to 16 inches. On two sizes of shells the propelling charge also will be loaded, the shell and cartridge case being assembled at the plant. All other shells are assembled in France. In the construction of the shell-loading units the problem was far greater than one of mere building. Immense fans have been installed to dispose of the poisonous fumes from the high explosives. When a unit is in operation the air in the loading room is changed every few minutes. The American soldier in France gets pure drinking water from mobile water trains. The trains are under the jurisdiction of the army medical department. They are miniature waterworks, which chemically treat, filter and sterilize water, making it fit for consumption. What municipal waterworks do to insure healthful water to the people of a city these trains do for the soldiers. A number of purification units with attached motor-tank trucks constitute a train. Each unit is a complete filtration plant, including laboratory. Arriving at a stream it sets hose into the water and pumps the water through a pressure tank. Before the water passes through a sand filter it is treated chemically to rid it of disease germs. The pure water is pumped into tanks mounted on trucks, which carry the water to the soldiers. Each mobile water unit carries an expert chemist, bacteriologist and pumpman. There is a complete laboratory in the front of the machine for the testing of the water. Tests are made every two hours or more often when it is thought necessary. The water is lifted into the filter by a gasoline pump engine and a complete supply of extra pipes and tools are carried so that all repairs, either from accident or shell fire, can be made on the spot. The trucks are equipped with electric lights so that the work can be carried on at night. Many of the chemists and bacteriologists assigned to the mobile laboratories were formerly connected with municipal waterworks and filtration plants. Every community will be combed for war workers. War industries are short nearly 400,000 common laborers and lack of workers in the coal-mining industry is imperiling all war production. There is also a serious shortage of skilled labor. One of the largest munition plants, turning out heavy caller guns, is short 2,000 machinists. The war plants of Connecticut and Maryland are undermanned 35,000 machinists. The United States employment service will begin an intensive recruiting of workers for war work from the nonessential industries. Employment offices will be increased and the force of local agents and travelling examiners will be enlarged and sent into every community that relief may be given before the ban against private labor recruiting goes into effect on August 1. Nearly 2,000,000 girls and boys have volunteered for the United States garden army in the department of the interior. Their service flag bears a crossed rake and hoe with the letters U. S. S. G. in blue on a field of white with a red border. The enlistment entails a pledge on the part of the child to use efforts to increase food production by cultivating one or more crops under a garden supervisor or teacher chosen for this work and to make such reports as may be required. The success of the garden army plan is most gratifying. Ensign Stephen Potter, United States Naval Reserve force, killed in action with German planes April 25 last, was the first American naval aviator to shoot down and destroy a German seaplanet, according to a navy department statement. The report states that on March 19, 1918, a long-distance reconnaissance of the German const was made by large American flying boats operating from a British Royal Air force station. Ensign Potter was one of two American naval aviators accompanying this expedition and Potter was successful in shooting down a German seaplanet which attacked the reconnaissance formation. A second enemy seaplanet found safety in running away. Potter's death reflects credit on his courage. He was killed in a fight with seven enemy single-seaters. He was second pilot to a British air force captain, who was with him when he shot down the German plane in March. Two British planes had flown to a point six miles from Hinder light, when two enemy planes headed toward them. The British planes closed on the nearest German and opened fire. Two more hostile planes then appeared overhead and attacked vigorously while three other enemy planes passed astern. The two British planes dived and speeded westward under continuous volleys from the rear. One of the Germans disappeared. Of the seven Germans in action four were attacking Potter, who fell behind his companion and began to zigzag. Potter dodged, but was broadside to all the enemy machines and under their fire only 50 feet from the water. His companion, 250 feet above, saw Potter's machine burst into flame, come part of the way under control, then crash on the port wing tip. Potter was seen last on the surface of the water amid flames, which turned suddenly to a huge cloud of smoke. When the pall had cleared not even wreckage was visible and the circling enemy disappeared. German timidity before American pistol fighters armed with American 45-calliber automatic pistols has brought about a change in the equipment of the American Expeditionary forces by the, war department and the ordnance department is rushing production of these weapons. About 3,000 are turned out daily and production is increasing. The impression exists that a shot from an American .45 takes a man out of action completely. Men hit from the smaller German pistols frequently continue in action effectively. The .45 calliber was adopted by the United States army in 1911. Despite the heavy increased demand for these pistols the ammunition branch of the ordnance department has effected a saving during the past two calendar months of nearly $2,000,000, mostly on small-arms ammunition. The total savings by the ordnance department for these two months through salvage, waste prevention and the utilization or sale of discarded materials have aggregated $8,757,025. Cost of Vickers machine guns has been reduced $322.35 each; Colt machine guns, $284.16 each; Lewis machine guns, $22 each. Government rifles now cost $22 each, a reduction of $13 each. Health of women workers in mutilation plants will be looked after by woman health officers who are to be trained under the direction of the women's division of the industrial service section of the army ordnance department. An eight weeks' course of study for carefully selected woman health officers has opened at Mount Holyoke college, Massachusetts. The course is under the general direction of Dr. Kristine Mann, health supervisor of the women's branch of the ordinance department. The staff of lecturers and instructors includes well-known specialists in physiology and hygiene, physical education, factory organization and labor. Women taking the course are college graduates or of equivalent technical education. Almost all of them have had experience in dealing with working women. First requirement for admission to the course is perfect health and only those were selected who will inspire wholesome living among the munition workers. The army has sufficient veterinarians, Surgeon General Gorgas announces. Examinations for commissions in the veterinary corps have closed. There is a waiting list of those eligible to commissions and until this list is exhausted there will be no more examinations. The corps has 1,700 officers and 10,000 enlisted men on active duty. Veterinary graduates called by the draft will enter the army service as privates. Later they will be allowed to take examinations for veterinary officer commissions to fill vacancies. Men over the draft age and under forty may enlist as privates and secure an equal chance with selected men for commissions. One hundred men are graduated each month from the training school for commissioned veterinary officers on active duty at Camp Greenleaf, Chickamauga Park, Ga. The department of labor reports adjustment of 30 industrial disputes during a recent week. This is a record. Eleven strikes and two threatened strikes were adjusted. Included in the strikes settled was that of machinists at the Curtiss Airplane company plant, Buffalo, where 300 men quit and 15,000 were affected indirectly. The division headquarters at Camp Lee is within a stone's throw of the spot where the house stood that housed Grant and his staff during the siege of Petersburg. CZECHS CONTROL WESTERN SIBERIA BOLSHEVIK FORCES DEFEATED IN WHOLE REGION EAST OF THE URIAS. FRENCH WIN AT CORCY OPEN VIEW OF HUN MOVES AS SURED BY ADVANCES ON MARNE-AISNE LINES. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, July 12. — Virtually all western Siberia is in control of the Czecho-Slovaks, according to a Reuter dispatch from Peking, dated July 10. The dispatch states that the Bolshevik have been overthrown in the whole region from Tobolsk, east of the Urals, to Semipalatinsk, 750 miles to the southeast, near Chinese frontier. The Transsiberian railway is under Czecho-Slovak control from Tcheliabinsk, in the Ural mountains at the junction of the branches of the road which lead to south and north Russia, to Krasnoyarsk, 1,300 miles east. The report confirms earlier dispatches to the effect that the Bolshevik at Irkutsk have been defeated by the Czecho-Slovaks. Germany is reported to have seized entire Russian navy, and to be adding warships to her own fleet. French pressure along the line from the Marne to the Aisne, which began two weeks ago as a series of local attacks, has begun to realize results which are appreciable when viewed on the map. The town of Corcy and strong positions in that vicinity have been captured by the slow, methodical advance that has been the source of much annoyance to the enemy for several days. As a result of the assaults made by the French from Amblen, south of the Aisne, to the hills south of Corcy, their line has been advanced to high ground which lends itself to defensive operations and gives the French observation points from which they can see what is going on behind the German lines. There has been some reason for believing that when the Germans resume their offensive on the western front they will attempt to break through between the Marne and Aisne in a dash straight for Paris. For this reason the operations which the French have carried out are of great importance. South of Corcy the German line extends slightly to the westward, but it curves sharply eastward just before it reaches the Clignon river, northwest of Chateau Thierry. From the Clignon southward to the Marne, American forces have been improving their positions in recent days and now have a strong line of positions running northward from Hill 204, west of Chateau Thierry, to the village of Corcy. On the British front the Australians have been in action once more, penetrating German positions and capturing prisoners. On the rest of the lines held by the British there have been the usual artillery duels and patrol engagements. French and Italian detachments are steadily pushing Austrian forces back along the western slopes of the mountains that parallel the coast of Albania. They are reported north of the important town of Berat, and have moved ahead in the hilly country to the east. Vienna admits the allied success in this quarter. In the mountain sectors of the northern Italian front Austrian units which have approached the Italian positions have been driven back. SUBMARINE MENACE ENDED. Former Premier Asquith Pays High Tribute to President Wilson on Work in War. London.—Praise of President Wilson's leadership in the war and his advocacy of a league of nations after the war was given by Herbert H. Asquith, former premier, in an address at the National Liberal Club. The occasion was a "hospitality dinner to American officers." "The United States has had the very good fortune that in the supreme crisis of her national history the man whom she most needed for inspiration and guidance has always appeared. Thus came Washington and Lincoln. President Wilson has been the head of American government in times no less trying than any in its annals." Vice Admiral Sims, commander of the American naval forces in the war zone, paid tribute to the cooperation of the British and American navies and declared: "The submarine menace is now at an end, for we are destroying them faster than the Germans can build them." Floods Cause Damage at Springs. Colorado Springs, Colo., July 12. Hundreds of war gardens were destroyed and many thousand dollars worth of property was damaged as a result of an electric storm accompanied by hail and rain which visited Colorado Springs and the Pike's Peak region Wednesday afternoon between 4 and 6 o'clock. A total of two inches of rain fell in less than two hours and the hall fell in a strip about a mile wide and extended from Manitou to East Colorado Springs. WHEN AGE ARRIVES Rules That One Man Promises He Will Observe. Of Course There Is a Proviso, but the World Would Be Sweeter if They Were Kept Generally in Mind. When I am old I will observe the following items (perhaps): I will not try to act nor dress nor talk so as to make people think I am younger than I am. I will not pretend to be young, nor be angry when called old, nor ashamed of my age. I will not complain of being old. I will not complain of being old. I will not continually remind people of my old age to secure their sympathy, or to hear them say I am not old after all, or do not seem so. I will not form the habit of indulging in reminiscences. I will be particularly careful not to repeat the same anecdotes over and over. I will not complain of the present and claim the past was much better. If I am deaf, weak-eyed, lame or otherwise afflicted I will not advertise my infirmities, but avoid obtruding them upon the notice of others as much as possible. I will not talk of myself, my works, or my achievements, even of my mistakes, any more than is necessary. I will speak cheerfully or keep still. I will never indulge in cynicism, never sneer at youth, and I will try always to appreciate what younger folks do. I will be as little bored as I can, and never say I am bored, nor, if possible, act as if I were bored. I will not give advice unless it is asked, and not often then. I will not be irritable. I will not be a nuisance nor an encumbrance, so far in me lies. I will not be offended by neglect, but I will remember the words of the sage: "Those who come to see me do me honor; those who do not come to see me do me a favor." I will be as little disagreeable as possible, and will never use my natural disagreeableness as a means of getting my way. I will cultivate the friendship and companionship of young children, who alone understand old age. I will learn to love to be alone. As Dsben says: "The freest soul is the soul that is alone." I shall try to show the world that old age is spiritual opportunity and not physical calamity. Forced to become a by-stander, I shall try to be a hopeful one. I shall try to sweeten like the pear Doctor Holmes describes that mellows and becomes full flavored before it drops from the stem, and shall try not to sour and dry and rot. I shall conceive my life's triumph to be to grow triumphantly, victoriously old. In a word, I shall try to adjust myself to old age, as to all other facts of life.—Life. Lucky Photographer. It is not always that things turn out so happily for the rash person who ventures to take snapshots on the east coast of England, as they did in the case of a young lady in the following story: She was seen photographing on a point of the coast, and was promptly approached by a special, who informed her of the enormity of her offense, took her name and address, and removed her camera. She heard nothing more of the matter for some time, but one morning she was amazed at receiving a check running into three figures, and a letter from headquarters informing her that her photographs were not only very good, but resulted in the capture of an enemy submarine. Confidence in the Cause. Confidence in the Cause. The champion optimist of America is private B——, now on active duty with his regiment somewhere in France. The regiment, after a turn in the trenches, was whiling away its time in a rest camp, and the officers were seeking to get the men to use some of their spare minutes in the study of French. The men did not take very kindly to the idea, and one of the officers sought to chide them for their lack of interest. Private B—— cut him off with the following query: "What in h—— do I want to learn French for? They don't speak that in Berlin, do they?" Pickling Olives. A new method of pickling ripe olives which, it is claimed, will increase the capacities of the factories over 200 per cent has been discovered by the University of California. Heretofore it has taken 15 days to pickle ripe olives. By this new method it can be done in six days or less. The process is a result of four years of experiments. His Opinion. Willis—What do you think of this plan of turning all the clocks ahead an hour each day? Gillis—Just another foxy scheme of the bankers to make a man's notes come due sooner, I think.—Judge.

Come early to secure seats, NEGROES DECRY MOB VIOLENCE Women's Convention Here Is Expect: ed to Urge U. S. Law on Lynchings. Lynchings were decried by the dele- gates at the convention of the Nation- al Association of Colored Women in Shorter’s chapel Thursday night. Sev- eral speakers touched on the subject. Miss Mary White Ovington, the chief speaker of the evening, told the delegates that 247 Negro men have been killed by mob violence since the declaration of war. It is probable that a resolution will be adopted asking that lynching be made a federal of- fense. Miss Ovington also described the change in attitude of the War Depart- ment toward the black man; how at first it was planned to send him to Europe only as a laborer, but now he has his own officers’ training camps and complete Negro units under o.. cers of their own race in service in France. Tells of Red Cross. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, at the morn- ing session, spoke on another phase of war work in which the race is enter- ing into its own—the Red Cross. She is an instructor in Wilberforce college the oldest Negro school in America, and has recently returned from Eu rope. Later her charge that Negro women had trouble in being admitted to the Red Cross was refuted by Miss Lettie M. Welch of the Mountain States Bureau. Miss Brown told of twenty- five young men, graduates of Wilber- force, every one of whom earned his commission, and one ranked highest in the training camp in the final tests. She is also a W. C. T. U. worker and an equal suffrage advocate. ‘At the afternoon session thirty Ne- gro women in Red Cross uniform were present. It was at this meeting that Miss Welch told of three Negro wom- ‘en, all of whom had applied here, passing the examinations and being accepted. Dr, Mary Waring of Chi- cago also spoke. She emphasized the point that her race is not seeking any special legislation but merely a “square deal.” Only women competent are desired by the race to be made nurses for the army. No Negro Y. W. C. A. There is no Negro branch of the Young Women’s Christian association. Miss Eva B. Bowles, who handles the corresponding work for the race, ad- dressed the convention on that sub- ject. She also advocated more confer- ences on women’s work between the two races, urging the selection of trained women from the Negro race as delegates at such meetings. The training school for Negro women in New York was described by the speaker. The attendance at each session has shown an increase. It is probable that several important resolutions will be acted upon today, as the convention will close soon. ‘It is possible that further plans concerning the future disposition of the Frederick Douglas Memorial home also will be discussed.

A STOVE DRIER YOU CAN MAKE ```markdown ``` Suitable for Use on Any Kind of a Stove. TIME TO PREPARE FOR DRYING FOOD This Method of Conserving Requires No Sugar—Especially Important This Year. EFFICIENT DRIER IS CHEAP Currents of Heated Air Pass Over Product as Well as Up Through It Inducing More Rapid and Uniform Drying. Special emphasis is placed this year by food conservation specialists on the importance of drying. This method requires no sugar, and as its advantages become better known is attaining wide popularity. Nearly every product of the soil can be dried and thus preserved for use months and even years later. Bulletins describing tested drying methods will be sent free on application to the United States department of agriculture. Vegetables and fruits can be dried in an oven, in trays or racks over the kitchen stove, or in a specially constructed drier. There are small driers on the market which give satisfactory results. The smult cookstove driers or evaporators are small ovenlike structures usually made of galvanized sheet iron, or of wood and galvanized iron. They are of such size that they can be placed on the top of an ordinary gas, wood or coal range or kerosene stove. A Homemade Drier. A drier that can be used on a gas, wood or coal range or kerosene stove can be easily and cheaply made. The dimensions of the ones shown in the photograph are: base 24 by 16 inches; height, 36 inches (including the base). The drier can be made smaller if desired. The base, 6 inches high, is made of galvanized sheet iron. It flares toward the bottom, and has two small openings for ventilation in each of the four sides. On the base rests a box-like frame made of 1 or $1\frac{1}{2}$-inch strips of wood. The two sides are braced with $1\frac{1}{4}$-inch strips which serve as cleats on which the trays in the drier rest. These are placed at intervals of 3 inches. The frame is covered with tin or galvanized sheet iron which is tacked to the wooden strips of the frame. Thin strips of wood may be used instead of tin or sheet iron. The door is fitted on small hinges and fastened with a thumb latch. It opens wide so that the trays can easily be removed. The bottom in the drier is made of a piece of perforated galvanized sheet iron. Two inches above the bottom is placed a solid sheet of galvanized iron, three inches less in length and width than the bottom. This sheet rests on two wires fastened to the sides of the drier. This prevents the direct heat from coming in contact with the product and serves as a radiator to spread the heat more evenly. Will Hold Eight Trays. The first tray is placed 3 inches above the radiator. The trays rest on the cleats 3 inches apart. A drier of the given dimensions will hold eight trays. The frame for the tray is made of 1-inch strips on which is tacked galvanized screen wire, which forms the bottom of the tray. The tray is 21 by 15 inches, making it 3 inches less in depth than the drier. The lowest tray when placed in the drier is pushed to the back, leaving the 3-inch space in front. The next tray is placed even with the front, leaving a 3-inch space in the back. The other trays alternate the same way. A ventilator opening is left in the top of the drier through which the moist air may pass away. Air Current Hastens Drying. The principle of construction is that currents of heated air pass over the product as well as up through it, gathering the moisture and passing away. The current of air induces a more rapid and uniform drying. The upper trays can be shifted to the lower part of the drier and the lower trays to the upper part as drying proceeds, so as to dry products uniformly throughout. --- Cleanliness is important in all forms of cookery, but important for several reasons in bread making. Bread almost always contains bacteria, and these are likely to produce in dough substances which spoil the flavor of the bread. Yeast has no flavor which survives the cooking, and the substances which it produces, carbon dioxide and alcohol, are driven off by the heat of the oven. Bacteria, on the other hand, are likely to produce sour or rancid substances which are not removed by baking. --- Your Cleaning Closet. A closet, cupboard or wardrobe in the kitchen is the best place for keeping the cleaning utensils. A backstair closet is also a good place. One end of a back porch may be inclosed and used for such a purpose. The closet should have plenty of hooks and racks for utensils and a shelf for cleaning materials. The housekeeper should choose utensils according to her own needs and according to the requirements of her house. Those suggested below are inexpensive and will help to lighten the work of cleaning: Bucket with wringer for mopping. A piece of inch board 15 inches square with rollers makes a convenient platform on which to set the mop bucket, and permits it to be moved easily without lifting. Wall mop made by tying a bag made of wool or cotton cloth over an ordinary broom. A broom, with a hook screwed in the end of the handle by which it can be hung up. A long-handled dustpan. Several brushes for cleaning purposes. Cheesecloth, worn silk and flannelette for dusters. Dusters may be made by dipping pieces of cheesecloth in two quarts of warm water to which one-half cupful of kerosene has been added. These cloths should be kept away from the stove or lighted lamp, as they are inflammable. A blackboard eraser covered with flannelette for stove polishing. An oil floor mop to use on oiled or polished floors. Several makes can be found on the market, or one may be made of old stockings or any discarded woolen or flannelette material. The material is cut into one-inch strips and sewed across the middle to a foundation of heavy cloth. This is fastened to an old broom handle or used in a clamp mop handle. The mop is dipped into a solution made of one-half cupful melted paraffin and one cupful kerosene, and allowed to dry. To keep it moist, it is rolled tight and kept in a paper bag, away from stove or lamp. A carpet sweeper or a vacuum cleaner should be used in the daily cleaning of the carpets and rugs. A vacuum cleaner operated by hand or electric power removes practically all the dust and dirt from carpets and rugs in a dustless manner.

MAY EXTEND TO COMMERCE Congressman Shallenberger Tells One Reason Why the Aviation Service Is So Attractive to Young Americans—McCumber's Slap at Cummins. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington.—The first legislative action which indicates a growing and intense feeling against Germany and the Germans was shown when the senate inserted a provision in the District of Columbia appropriation bill providing that the German language should not hereafter be taught in the public schools of the national capital. As time goes on it becomes evident that the Germans are taking a course which will create as strong a hatred of them in the United States as has been created in other countries with which Germany is at war. So far, however, the feeling against Germany has not reached the stage of legislative action to keep her away from any commercial interests after the war is over. But the activity of the U-boats on this side of the Atlantic has created talk in congress which may result in legislation of this kind. Four senators who had announced their intention of retiring from the senate at the end of their terms next March have for one reason or another been compelled to reconsider their determination. Two of them, Nelson of Minnesota and Warren of Wyoming, are survivors of the Civil war. The death of Senator Borah's colleague induced the Idaho senator to reconsider his determination to quit public life. The political situation in New Mexico and the urgent demand of friends finally compelled Senator Fall of that state to reconsider his determination to leave the senate. "I had arranged all the affairs for my future life," said Senator Fall, "and had fully determined to quit public life, but conditions have arisen which have made it practically impossible for me to do so." Generally speaking, personal friends of men insist upon their remaining in the senate, but it is always an advantage to the senate when experienced men continue in that body. 一 The war department has three or four times as many men training and ready to fly as are needed at the present time, on account of the lack of airplanes. Congressman Shallenberger of Nebraska, a member of the military committee, explained why it was that there are so many men anxious for service in the aviation corps. He said it was "tremendously attractive to young men. The aviator's service at the front is vastly different from that of other men in the army. Infantry and artillery are in the front of battle, in the trench and in the mud, and they have little opportunity to sleep on active service. The aviator and those in charge of the machines are miles in the rear, sometimes out of the sound of the big guns. They have their quarters in which to sleep. It is the most desirable service so far as personal comfort is concerned of any in the army." But it is not alone the personal comfort; all that is left of romance in war belongs to aviation. Everybody has read enough of what war means either on land or sea under present conditions to know that the romance is taken out of it. The cavalry used to furnish some thrills, and the field artillery as well. Even the infantry at times, by long marches, climbing mountains and swift movements striking the enemy unawares, occasionally did things that furnished a thrill and a story. In these days there is nothing left but service in the air to make war picturesque or romantic. That is one reason why so many young men are attracted to it. Those senators say something to each other once in a while. McCumber of North Dakota was opposing the resolution to limit debate in the senate, while Cummins of Iowa favored it. "The senator from Iowa," said McCumber, "spoke about two hours to convince the senate that no senator was justified in discussing a subject longer than an hour and a half." It is rather an interesting fact, also, that a number of the senators who belong to the long-winded class are those who were most earnestly in favor of cutting down the debate. The ways and means committee of the house is not going to pass the next revenue bill with the criticism that the people interested in taxation have not been afforded a full opportunity to be heard. Not only has the committee granted hearings to all who presented themselves, but it has proceeded without restrictions, particularly with those who represented important interests. A year ago when the revenue bill was passed the ways and means committee rushed matters, while the senate committee on finance gave hearings of a somewhat restricted nature, and many people who were taxed complained bitterly that they did not have an opportunity to show the inequalities of the revenue legislation It is also surmised that Chairman Nitchin and a number of house leaders are perfectly willing to give time now in order that the business of the house may be cleared up and so that there may be no interference with the revenue bill when it is brought in for consideration. Success in the house of representatives is not always followed by success in the senate. In fact, a great deal of prominence in the house of representatives is rather a detriment to a man when transferred to the upper branch of congress, particularly if he continues to be active and assumes a position of leadership. This has been shown in the case of Senator Underwood of Alabama, who was all-powerful in the house, more powerful than the speaker, by reason of his position as chairman of the ways and means committee. When Underwood came to the senate he received his first setback by antagonizing Chairman Simmons of the finance committee on a revenue bill. Not even his prestige as the manager of several revenue bills in the house gave him any particular power in the senate and Simmons found it comparatively easy to win out. Underwood's second reverse came when he tried to amend the rules so as to limit debate. The negative vote was not due to the fact that Underwood was a comparatively new man in the senate, but there were a great many older senators, and quite a number who voted with him, who took a great deal of satisfaction in the result. A rather remarkable occurrence happened in congress a few days ago, which has not attracted general notice. It was a speech by a Southern man, Congressman Pou of North Carolina, in which he extolled and praised the negro race. He alluded to the fact that the negroes of the South had subscribed $100,000 for Liberty bonds. He reverted to the days of the Civil war and said that the people then saw the negro "tested as few people have ever been tested in the history of the world." Congressman Pou then went on to deny that there was any possibility of disloyalty among the negroes and asserted that the German propagandists who had gone among them would fall. "The negro race as a rule live in humble homes," said Pou. "As I stand here now I can see all over the South the vine-clad cabins of this kindly race. They have their faults, but disloyalty is not among them." He said that from the homes all over the South the young negro men were answering to their country's call, "Here; we are ready." The United States senate is somewhat scary as to what is going to happen after the coming election. It is not so much a matter of political complexion of the senate as the personnel. Of course both political parties would like to have their side win and be in control, but above political control is the personal equation. Not only is the senate threatened with Henry Ford from Michigan, but it is barely possible that two women senators may appear on the 4th of next March. Of course there is no objection to Henry Ford, save that the senate would much prefer profound statesmen, lawyers who could become great diplomats or constitutional exponents. The senate is composed mostly of lawyers, and it does not now take and never has taken kindly to the business man as a statesman. The senate was ready to turn the cold shoulder to Mark Hanna because he was the business man in politics. As to the other phase of the question, it is quite possible that a number of senators will welcome the women when they come, but take the senate as a whole it is likely that the innovation of women senators is going to cause some consternation. No one has yet been able to find a method for keeping senators in their seats during any kind of a debate. One of the arguments in favor of limiting debate in the senate was that it would make senators remain. Senator Sherman of Illinois insisted that no matter what the senate did it could not force senators to stay and listen to speeches in which they were not interested. The Illinois senator went into the subject at considerable length, analyzing the methods pursued not only in the congress of the United States, but in the parliament of Great Britain, and proved what every legislator knows, that comparatively few men remain in the chamber to transact the business of congress and parliament. The critics of large appropriations have not been able to reduce expenditures. The fact is the larger the appropriation bills the quicker they pass. The time was when the sundry civil bill would occupy two or three weeks in the house. Carrying about $3,000,000,000. It passed this year in about the same number of days. Congress is certainly doing its duty in the matter of furnishing money for the government. The only appropriation that has been cut down was that for Creel's bureau of public information. The house trimmed about $1,000,000 from Creel's demand, but that makes no difference as Creel can get the money from the presidential emergency fund. De Soto's Error.

A Suspicious Character By WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE Of The Vigilantes The other day in the city where I live there was a patriotic parade. It was announced that every patriot was expected to uncover when the Stars and Stripes swept by. During the parade everybody did it. Standing on the curbstone was an unkempt individual, with straggly hair, and a wild, desperate eye, who kept looking about him uneasily, when the crowd pressed against him he hitched himself away, but he must have seen the hats come off as the colors swept down the thoroughfare. When the flag was only half a block away, this man lifted his hand but instead of removing his hat he drew it farther down upon his head. His action was noticed. "Uncover!" yelled somebody in the crowd. The crowd, like a lot of children, forgot all about the flag passing, and turned its attention to the man who hadn't taken off his hat. "Where is he—where is he?" people asked. "Uncover there—uncover," cried stentorian voices. The man turned about and his hand strayed to his hat again. It seemed as though he was about to remove it. But three men pressed close to him—threateningly. "You take your hat off, do you hear!" they shouted at him. He drew away from them and pulled it more firmly down upon his head. "Take that hat off—or I'll knock it off," cried one of the three men. The wild-eyed man shook his head and Kent drawing away. "Uncover," cried the crowd, surging against the four principals, "make him uncover there." "Slacker," yelled somebody. "Traitor," cried somebody else. The three men seized the offender and laid violent hands upon his hat. The man clung to it desperately, throwing all his strength into his grasp. Then a police officer forced his way through the crowd. "Officer," said one of the three men, "take this man in charge. We'll come with you. We'll make a complaint." The officer seized the man by the arm. "I will go—with you," gasped the man, "but not with them—not with them." The three men followed the officer. The crowd trailed on behind, until they reached the nearest precinct station. The culprit was led before the magistrate. As the man entered the courtroom, he took off his hat and bowed. The police officer stated his case—the three men made their complaint. "Well," demanded the judge fiercely, "is this true?" The offender bowed. "What they say is true," he admitted. "Well," demanded the magistrate, impatiently, "what have you got to say for yourself?" The man bowed. "Judge," he began, "I live all alone—and I am afraid of burglaries—" The crowd that had trailed in laughed. The judge looked sternly at the man. "Afraid of burglaries," sneered the magistrate. "Is that the reason you didn't take your hat off to the flag?" "No," the man returned, "but I am afraid of pickpockets." "What's that got to do with it?" demanded the court. "This," returned the man, "at my room I hide away my securities. But I am afraid if I leave them there they will be stolen, so I put them in my pocket." "What's that got to do with it?" snapped the magistrate. "When I saw the crowd," went on the wild-eyed man, "I was afraid my pocket would be picked. So I stepped into a corner and took all my securities and put them in my hat. And then these three men—the three who look so much like pickpockets, they crowded close to me. And I took them to be pickpockets. And, though I saw the flag coming, I knew what would happen if I removed my hat. I knew these three men would snatch it from me, and take all I have." The magistrate eyed the wild-eyed man with a cold eve. "Good story," he said to the officer. "See what he's got in his hat." The officer jerked the hat away from the offender and turned its contents out on the bench before the judge. The inside rim was stuffed with papers. Then he separated these papers and spread them out upon the desk. This is what he found: One certificate of membership in the Red Cross. One Red Cross receipt for a contribution of $100 marked "Thanks" across the bottom. A letter from the man's boy at the front, saying that he had been pretty badly wounded and was not expected to live. A newspaper clipping sent out by the war department, announcing his death. A war department letter confirming it. funeral notice, published three months later, announcing the death of the boy's mother here in town. Five unregistered Liberty loan bonds of the denomination of $100 each. The magistrate beckoned to the three men. Silently he exhibited the contents of the hat to them. "Now, gentlemen," said the magistrate, "is there any one of you patriots who invested five hundred dollars in the Liberty loan, or who is a member of the Red Cross, or who has contributed a hundred dollars to the Red Cross, or who has lost a boy at the front, or who has a boy at the front? That's what I'd like to know." The three patriots looked at each other, looked at the judge, looked at the wild-eyed man, looked at the cop, and then, with a grand manner of pickpockets, softly and silently slunk away. Moral: How easy it is to make a noise like a patriot! Also, you can't most always tell! ABOARD THE TRANSPORT By AUGUSTUS THOMAS of the Vigilantes. I haven't told our secret, dear, Since my good-by to you: But flowers and birds were singing it, And flags and ribbons flinging it, And golden sunshine bringing it Down every breeze that blew. The story still goes on by night Though all the bunting's furled; The tightening ropes are rattling it, The speeding waves are prattling it The whispering stars are tattling it And telling all the world. I know when we get where they fight And beckoning death shall call. Where bursting steel is shelling it, And flaming guns are belling it, And deadly hate is helling it, Our love will last them all. PHANTOMS By WILLIAM HAMILTON OSBORNE of the Vigilantes. In Seattle, Wash., during one of the Red Cross drives, I was one of an audience of 3,000 people that crowded a huge motion picture theater on a Saturday night. There was a special appeal made from the platform for immediate contributions. The result of this appeal was the immediate subscription of $30,000—or $10 a head, for every man, woman and child in the audience. As that large audience surged out into the brilliantly lighted street I noted that the street was occupied by a goodly company of soldiers, drawn up at attention, saluting the audience as it went by. There must have been 500 of them. I stepped to the curbstone and approached the commanding officer, who saluted as I came. "Who," I queried, "are these men—what are they doing here?" The officer smiled—his eyes flashed. "These," he said, "are the 500 members of the National army whose lives are going to be saved because your audience this evening contributed $30,000 to the Red Cross fund." He finished speaking to me. He turned and gave an order. On the instant the 500 soldiers vanished into thin air. And then I realized that they weren't there—they hadn't been there at all, save in my imagination. They were phantoms. But—were they phantoms? Do they exist? They were not in that street ranged up before that theater—are they anywhere? They are not phantoms—they do exist—and they are somewhere today either in the trenches or about to enter them. They may be in France—they may be here—but they are real, those 500 men whose lives will be saved by that audience who subscribed that evening their average of $10 apiece. How many men are there whose lives will not be saved because there's nobody to put up the cash? Are they phantoms, too? Let us hope they are. HOW TO SAVE $1,000,000 By JULIET WILBOR TOMPKINS of the Vigilantes. Of course, you bought an extra Liberty bond; that is, one more than you had expected to, or thought that you could afford. You bought it because the need was so rubbed into you that you could not hold back. Now sit down and calculate what it cost to sell you that extra bond. Put down all the items; printing, engraving, advertising, mailing, telephoning, shoe leather, man-power and office-room diverted from their normal earning—the bill is so big that you are appalled at having to pay it. For you do pay it. It has all got to come out if you, sooner or later, somewhere. There is no mysterious well-spring of money to meet such expenditures. The country pays.
