LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Warfare Work by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities By Joseph J. Canavan. Unofficial reports filtering back from the fighting front in France have added the final touch of amplification to the phrase contained in a German official statement when the big drive by American troops was at its heights a few weeks ago, and which noted that "black Americans" had hammered their way gloriously through the Hun lines. It was not, though, until the battle was over, according to the unofficial version of the same fighting, that the brigade commander summoned the colonel of a Negro regiment before him and demanded to know in tense military fashion, why that colonel had not maintained better control of his troops, and why, above everything else, he had not "stopped" his men and kept them from passing beyond their appointed objectives, and, in fact, hacking their way through ahead of their own protective barrage. "Stop them?" queried the colonel. "Stop them? Hell, man, how could you expect me to stop them, when the whole German army couldn't do it?" The brigade commander's reply is not of record, either officially or unofficially, but the story, is only one of a thousand that is being told of the admirable dasn and courage of the Americans who compose the Negro units of the expeditionary force and which everyday are out there in the thick of the fighting and holding their place in the line wherever they may be called upon to do their military bit. In just the same manner, the men who compose those regiments are partaking of the carefully built up welfare work that is being accomplished on both sides of the water by the Knights of Columbus Committee on War Activities. In fact, they are receiving special attention, both in the camps in this country and K. of C. huts in France, and the work among the Negro troops is being broadened as rapidly as the numbers of the Negro troops grow, under the operation of the selective service laws and by voluntary enlistment, the latter apparently being particularly inviting method for Negroes getting into the army. Under the system as it has been worked out, the Negro soldier needs no other countersign than his khaki uniform to gain for him everything of advantage offered by the Knights' service. True, there are places, both in this country and abroad, where the Knights of Columbus have erected special huts for the use of the Negro soldiers. But where that has been done, it has been at the express request of Negro soldiers themselves, who in numerous instances have expressed a preference for a building of their own, where they may enjoy their own pleasures in their own way, and be assured of meeting their own friends when and where and under what circumstances they desire. Such an arrangement has been granted by the K. of C, upon request of the men themselves at Camp Meade, at Admiral, Md., where one of the three K. of C. huts, which are looked after by 11 secretaries, has been set aside for Negro troops. The same action, again upon request of the Negro soldiers, has been taken at Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, la., where one of the three K. of C. buildings has been set aside for their exclusive use. VOL. XXIV. At Camp Dodge, however, there are thirteen secretaries, the services of everyone of them being always at the call of any trooper who requests them. The same rule applies at Camp Funston, at Fort Riley, Kan., where one of the three buildings of the K. of C. has been given to the Negroes, and there is a building for the Negro troops also at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky., where the Knights have four tents. As the work expands and as the number of Negro troops has been enlarged, the facilities for catering to their wants have been correspondingly increased in keeping with the recently adopted slogan of the organization "Everybody Welcome — Everything Free." The baseballs, tennis equipments, shower baths, books, candy, cigarettes and all the other things which the Knights have been distributing to the soldiers in this country as well as aboard the transports and in the camps, rest billets and front line trenches in France have gone in equal proportion to the Negro troops under the organization's rule that the war service of the Knights shall be conducted without regard to race, color, religion or any other factor except that the recipient of it be a member either of the military or naval forces of the United States. This regulation has been accentuated in the spirit of co-operation that has been built up between the big Catholic relief organization and the Jewish Welfare Board, which is directing the work among the Jewish soldiers, of whom, like the Negroes, there are many thousands, both in the army and the navy. At Fort Hamilton, in Brooklyn, and Camp Merritt, the army embarkation camp at Tenafly, N. J., for instance, the Jewish Welfare Board attaches are using the K of C. buildings and equipment regularly, with the consent and approval, willingly given, of the Knights supreme organization. Similarly, the other day, when there were six Negro soldiers entraining at Port Jervis, N. Y., on their way to Goshen, N. Y., from where they were to start upon their journey to a training camp, it was a group of Knights of Columbus secretaries who met them and supplied them with cigarettes and tobacco. It happened, however, that the six Negro draft men did not take a train from Port Jervis. Instead, the Knights loaded them into automobiles and drove them across the pretty hilly country to their point of departure for the camps. There were only six men in that draft consignment, but the Knights service would have been as hearty and as general if the number had been 600. And there have been innumberable instances where that larger number of men have been cared for and had their wants provided by the Knights, as the men themselves have testified.

SCOTT AT MME. C. J. WALKER'S HOME, "VILLA LEWARO," IRVINGTON-ON-THE-HUDSON. In response to the invitation of Mme. C. J. Walker, nearly 100 white and colored men and women, leaders in their respective races, assembled on Sunday, the 25th inst., in her charming residence, "Villa Lewaro," situated in Irvington-on-the-Hudson, to meet the Honorable Emmet J. Scott, special assistant to the secretary of war. Mme. Walker must have been inspired by some kind and thoughtful desire to give pleasure to her guests in calling them together in this delightful place, enriched by Nature and ornamented by the skillful hands of men. From the back of the Villa one overlooks a lake in an Italian garden, beyond which stretches a most pleasing diversified rural scene, containing the Hudson river, flowing with majestic serenity, and the wooded heights of New Jersey in the far distance—a scene which, in many of its features, rivals the view from Richmond hill, looking towards Twickenham, England. After an appetizing luncheon had been served on the Villa's extensive veranda, the guests adjourned to the charmingly furnished and decorated great salon, and listened to music made by several well-known artists: J. Rosamond Johnson, Professor Joseph Douglas, Mrs. Marie Johnson. he ny nt li ed uat ig he di sh es, he il tt, a el K. u al, u he "Villa-Lewaro," Irvington-on-the-Hudson.

Shillady, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Mrs. Jessie D. Robinson of St. Louis. Mme. Walker, in outlining the purpose of the meeting, explained that she had invited those present not only to meet Mr. Emmet J. Scott, but to confer with him, and with each other, regarding the part American Negroes were playing in the war. Among other things said by Mme. Walker was that this was the time when members of the race should forget all their differences, stand together for the higher principles involved in this war, and that she noped the present conference would tend to bring about these results. Moreover, Mme. Walker made a plea to those present to continue loyal to the country, also to the soldiers fighting for democracy. After Mme. Walker finished and had been applauded, Mr. Ransom introduced Mr. Scott. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Mr. Scott arose midst much applause. He paid high tribute to Mme. Walker, then, reviewing his work while in office, told of some of the excellent things accomplished. Furthermore, he informed his hearers how local boards had been removed because they had treated Negro draftees unfairly, and how whenever unkind reflections had been cast upon the colored soldiers the matter had been investigated and set right. Mr. Scott announced that the War Department had consented to reconsider the case of Col. Charles Young, who, in all probability, would be restored to actual service; nor did his statement that colored women would be sent overseas as Red Cross nurses displease. Mr. Scott said many other things exceedingly pleasing to his hearers, for insance, how racial war work had been organized throughout the country; how a board of health is to be established to study sanitary conditions affecting colored soldiers; how, very possibly a Negro war correspondent would be sent to Europe to report the activities and achievements of colored soldiers. He hoped soon to announce the name of the man to be selected to do this work. Other speakers following Mr. Scott were Col. Wm. Jay Schleffelin, the well-known philanthropist; William H. Lewis, ex-assistant U. S. attorney-general; J. C. Napier, ex-registrar of the U. S. treasury; Professor W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University; Frederick Moore, editor of "The New York Age"; Mrs. Mary Tal THE PARK bert of Buffalo; James A. Cobb of Washington; Thomas F.

RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources Jersey City, N. J.—One of the most important positions that has been given a colored man recently is that now being filled by Charles B. Puleston of 146 Monticello avenue, who has been appointed guard in the ordnance department, "Somewhere in New Jersey." Mr. Puleston not only has a great many valuable papers in his care, but must have proof of the character of persons before being admitted to the building where 200 persons are engaged in work for the National Army. Evansville, Ind., Sept. 6.—Charging him with fraudulent enlistment in the army, government authorities arrested Ellis Porter, aged 26, when it was learned that he was not a white man. It appears that Porter served for three years as a member of a white regiment. During his military career he had associated freely in social affairs and was considered a favorite. The cause of his identity is regarded as a mystery. Outlear defended the Race boy, but was harassed throughout by the restrictions of the magistrate on his line of questioning of the defendant. Counsellor Outlear, however, did bring out the fact that the soldier had lately come to New York from Mississippi After the testimony was all in, Magis trate Simpson, so it is alleged, casually remarked that as the Race boy did not appear to be hurt very much he would discharge the defendant. The Negro, properly instructed and trained, possesses qualities that are attractive, and useful to the white man. A realization of his position is absolutely necessary for the development of the new spirit. Heretofore we have taken the view that the Negro is antagonistic; that he is pushing, and that we have to keep him down instead of helping him up. This is untrue. It is the Negro with an education, the Negro has gained culture and wants more, who will help us to solve that great problem which Jersey City, N. J.—Hubbard Lanier has been appointed service inspector of the Pullman Company at a salary of $125 per month. Mr. Lanier was formerly a porter and after being injured in a wreck, was detailed to visit sick employés. The position given attests the company's appreciation of efficient work. Petrograd, Russia, August 31.—The world-famous United States Ninth Cavalry (Colored) arrived here today from the Philippine Islands, where they have been stationed for some time. The Ninth Cavalry is among the best known regular troops of the United States. They have a remarkable history for gallantry that dates back to the Civil War of America. Reports from the war front indicate that the colored troops are fighting bravely. The generals in the foreign divisions pay them the highest compliments for their valor and sluff. Their specialty is the bayonet, in the use of which they excel all others. They kill more Huns with that weapon than the soldiers of other races do. They prefer a stand-up, face-to-face fight, in which experience their fighting qualities are most conspicuous. The French officers are delighted with their prowess and will welcome fresh dratts of Negro troops. Here is another evidence of the Negro's fidelity to liberty and democracy, a fact that should not be forgotten in the changes that are coming on. New York, Aug. 26.—D. Webster Collins, a medical student was sitting in the sipway on his way down town when he was rudely jarred by Harold Hughes a white soldier, who remarked, "I'm going to count three, and if you are not up out of that seat by then, I'm going to throw you out. Where I came from your kind can't even ride with my kind, much less sit while people stand." The white fellow then counted three and struck the Race boy a violent blow on the face, bringing the blood. The guard ordered his arrest, and the case came up before Magistrate Simpson, in the Men's Night Court. Counsellor Dayl NO. 47. Outlear defended the Race boy, but was harassed throughout by the restrictions of the magistrate on his line of questioning of the defendant. Counsellor Outlear, however, did bring out the fact that the soldier had lately come to New York from Mississippi. After the testimony was all in, Magistrate Simpson, so it is alleged, casually remarked that as the Race boy did not appear to be hurt very much he would discharge the defendant. The Negro, properly instructed and trained, possesses qualities that are attractive, and useful to the white man. A realization of his position is absolutely necessary for the development of the new spirit. Heretofore we have taken the view that the Negro is antagonistic; that he is pushing, and that we have to keep him down instead of helping him up. This is untrue. It is the Negro with an education, the Negro was has gained culture and wants more, who will help us to solve that great problem which so many of us look to with fear. It is cooperation that we need, and this cooperation can only be derived from the educated black man, who is able to understand our point of view, and who can make his brother understand it. It is not the shiftless pauper that we should encourage. Yet there are many of our charities which have helped these men to live a lazy, good-for-nothing existence. The Negro's salvation, like that of all other men, lies in work. And it is as great mistake to encourage lazy shiftlessness in the Negro as it is to encourage it in a white man. So it is the duty for every southerner to take a new view of the Negro—to forgive his faults and to maintain his courage; to rule by the wish to help him rather than by force; to encourage in every man the perfection of his race, rather than its destruction. — The Foundation, Atlanta, Ga.

DARK DAYS PAST NEVER T0 RETURN 75,000 HUNS GAPTURED ‘Weatern Newspaper Union News Service. London.—“We have passed through many dark days. Please God, these will never return,” says Field Marshal Haig, commander-in-chief of the Brit- Ish forces in France, in an order of the day. The commander then says: “The enemy has now spent his ef- fort.” ‘The order of the day follows: “Qne month has now passed since the British armies, having successful- ly withstood ali attacks by the enemy, once more took the offensive in their turn, “In that short space of time, by a series of brilliant and skillfully execut: ed actions, our troops repeatedly de- feated the same German armies whose vastly superior numbers compelled our retreat last spring. “What has happened on the British front has happened on the front of our allies less than six months after the launching of the great German of- fensive, which was to have cut the allied front in two. “The allied armies are everywhere advancing victoriously side by side over the same battlefields on which, by courage and the steadfastness of their defense, they broke the enemy’s assaults.” Field Marshal Haig added that the capture of 75,000 German prisoners and 750 guns in the course of four weeks’ fighting showed the magnitude of the British achievement, and adds: “Yet more than that has been done. Already we have pressed beyond our old battle lines of 1917. We have made a wide breach on the enemy's strong- est defenses.” BILL TAXES RICH TO LIMIT. Additional Levy Must Be on Articles cf Daily Nacessity, Says Sanda he Washington.—Wealth is taxed to about the straining point by the new war revenue bill, Representative Long- worth of Ohio declared in the House when debate on the huge tax measure was resumed, He warned his hearers that any additional taxes levied here- after must be borne by people purchas- ing articles of daily necessity and pointed out that Congress is about to exact from the American people a sum which would have more than paid the entire cost of the Civil war, both to the Union and Confederacy, Mr. Longworth said the tax of 80 per cent on war profits and the maximums of 70 per cent on excess profits and 77 per cent on incomes was “mighty near the danger mark.’ He added that this is a bill “to raise war revenue and not reorganize society,” and warned that the proposed war time national prohi bition legislation would reduce the es: timated revenue returns from bever- ages by $1,500,000,000, which, with the lost revenue on beer from Dec. 1 would reduce the estimated revenue under the bill to $6,000,000,000.

Near Gouzeaucourt and Havrincourt the British pressed a little further to- ward Cambrai in the former region after haying put down counter at- tacks, To the south the French, from the district west of St. Quentin south- ward to the western side of the St. Gobain forest, have pushed eastward toward the Oise river, which they are virtually upon all along this front, With their flanks now resting danger- ously near both St. Quentin and La Fere. : St. Quentin now stands only a little sees than three miles away, while La ‘Fere is so closely encroached upon trom the west and outflanked from the north that seemingly it must soon fall, In their latest endeavors, the Fran- co-American forces have mite some slight progress in the face of the ex- tremely stubborn resistance of the en- emy, Likewise, in the sector east of Soissons the French and Americans have gained additional ground between the Vesle and Aisne rivers. Far to the north the British are so nearly upon Armentieres that a few more strides forward seemingly will ‘place them in a position to make the ‘one-time cotton-spinning center theirs for the asking. | From a number of reliable sources it is learned that the enemy is evacu- ating the civilians from numerous villages and towns in his rear and is exhibiting his customary methods while doing it. Paris, Sept. 10.—North of the Somme French troops have made another ad: vance in the direction of Clastres and have occupied Lomot farm, according to the war office announcement, and have crossed the Crozat canal oppo- site Liez, three mies southwest of Vendeutl, _ Slow progress continues to be made by British forces in the direction of Cambrai and St. Quentin and if the operations of the French armtes are successful In encircling the St. Gobain massif the German retreat must begin anew and with greater rapidity. The British are within six miles of ‘St. Quentin at Villevque and have cap tured Roisel and St. Emilie, Along the line between Cambrai and St Quentin the British advance has car: ‘ried them into their old positions trom’ which they were driven by: the Germans last March. Paris, Sept. 9—The French have occupied Vaux, Fluquieres and Hap: pencourt, north of the Somme, as well as Hamet, according to the war office announcement. They have also made ‘advances on both sides of the Oise, | Bertin, Sept. 9.—"On the battle front we are everywhere in our new post tions,” says the German official com munication issued Sunday. The above dispatch indicates that the Germans have taken up positions in their old Hindenburg line on the entire western front, It was from this line they started their drive March 21 ‘This means that the allies since July 18 have regained all of the territory which Ludendorff captured in his of fensives between March 21 and July 18, The British and French official reports announce captures of towns within two or three miles of the Hin denburg line, and there probably re mains only the “mopping” up of the strip intervening. ‘The British and French continue to cut their way into the German lines on the lower part of the battle line in France. Notwithstanding the bad weather, the British here encroached upon Cambrai and St. Quentin, while farther south the French armies are pressing toward La Fere and Laon. Between the Vesle and the Aisne riv- ers, where Americans are with the French, ground has been gained.

God knows how many war babies bring fear with them in place of hope, and the "forward-looking thoughts" must often be fraught with misgiving. One thing is certain, however, that though individual mothers here and there must of necessity have hearts laden with doubts of the immediate future, there never was a time when child life ought to be so carefully preserved, nourished, guarded, and guided. This is pre-eminently woman's "part." Not her only one, for she is proving again and again her ability to take a man's work when needful, and do it with an unexpected strength and skill and staying power. There are few things left indeed, that she cannot do, and her activities might be practically boundless were it not for the fact that in the shuffle of the sexes men cannot perform similar feats of flexibility and become mothers! What Women Are Doing. A great many of our tasks are performed as they have always been, rather in the background, though we are more or less dragged into the limelight of responsibility nowadays. (I almost hope that we shall not like it so well that we shall never want to work in the quiet places again!) The bearing and rearing and saving of children, the conservation of this great life force that the dreary, blood-stained world needs for its hope, its comfort and refreshment, the literal staff on which the future is to lean, this is woman's most practical contribution to the service of humanity. Make munitions, drive cars, nurse, and succor the wounded, mother the soldier in the camps and canteens—all this must be done, but the child must be kept in mind at every turn. He has a right to be born, to be welcomed, to be loved and wished for, that homes and hearth fires may not vanish from the earth, and that men and women shall not lack the greatest driving force in the universe, fatherhood and motherhood—the love and care of children. There may come a time when the service flags are taken down because there are no armies battling on the field, no gold stars needed to mark pa- I. W. W.'s AND "LIBERALS" By GERTRUDE ATHERTON Of The Vigilartes It is a matter of great regret to me, as to many others, that the leaders of the Industrial Workers of the World were not peremptorily court-martialed and the worst of them as peremptorily shot. The only sort of lawyers that could be induced to defend such vermin will use every legal trick to get them off, and it will take juries of very high intelligence to remain cool and detached in the face of appeals for liberty, justice, the abominable capitalistic class that is responsible for this rebellion of the outraged proletariat, and all the rest of it. No one will deny that the more ignorant and stupid of the working class have been shamelessly exploited by the great employers of this country. They have been enticed from Europe, or from the Atlantic seaboard, under false pretenses, herded like cattle, forced to live in foul conditions, and, instead of finding themselves with the steady job promised them, turned adrift after four months of more or less lucrative work. The capitalist has labored to increase his capital and that of his stockholders, and looked upon the ignorant scum of Europe or the failures among the native-born Americans as he would look upon so much machinery to increase production. Not one of the exploited has ever shown himself capable of rising in the world on his own merits beyond the position of agitator and hater-in-chief of a class to which he would give his eyes to belong. Moreover, the manner in which the immigrant has been treated at our ports, even when belonging to the best of his kind, has long been a source of mortification to every thinking American, and enough to make anarchists of every one of these bewildered and miserable creatures. But this spirit among the powerful and the successful toward the masses is as old as time, and human nature is proverbially short-sighted. In this country where the successful never rest and where success is the goal toward which every able man strives with all the energy of his being, haunted by the brevity of life; where legislation is lenient, and individualism rampant, this state of affairs has come about in the most natural manner in the world. It would be astonishing if it had not, human nature being what it is. Barring the intervention of this war methods would have grown worse rental sacrifices, but if a new banner should one day be hung in windows here and there with a star meaning: "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." it would be not a flag of sacrifice but still a flag of service and honor. Let us save the children, then, even if the task be carried on humbly, patiently, unostentatiously. All we own, and wear, and are, all that is the outer husk of us, all that is the inner kernel, is being tested in these days. It is as if there were a universal "wash" and only the "fast colors" in life and character were coming out clear and true. In all this the mothers and the fathers, the preachers and the teachers are a great factor. It is the children who are the seed corn of the future; it is the boys and girls of today that will have to endure the terrible reactions of this war and settle the problems that will vex us for years after peace is formally declared. Every man or woman who lends his money to the government in this crisis protects the future of his childreer; makes it more certain that America will never repudiate its debts, but pay them as it did after the Civil war, with a speed that gained the world's applause. All Put Shoulders to Wheel. All Put Shoulders to Wheel. The children are a definite factor in all our campaigns nowadays. Boy Scouts, Junior Guards, Camp Fire Girls, school children, have all put their shoulders to the wheel and in being an active part of the movement have grown in wisdom and understanding, self-denial and right use of their slender powers. These are our own American children, for the most part sheltered, not always indeed from poverty, but at least from more terrible evils. Whenever I buy bonds or War Saving stamps or subscribe to the dozen and one causes forever knocking at the door, I long to give more and more because of the lives of women and children across the seas, innocent lives sacrificed to the relentless war god!—mothers, potential and actual—the mothers who would have replenished the standing armies of the world—and blameless little children who were the hope of the future. Then let us work, sacrifice, give, in memory of their sufferings and the unspeakable anguish in which they groped and bled and starved to death. I do not speak of repaying slaughter with slaughter—vengeance is the Lord's part—I speak of giving as if we were laying a "sprig of rosemary for remembrance" on those hundreds of little pitiful, uncoffined bodies, that their more fortunate brothers and sisters may be saved, fed, clothed, sheltered and educated. Whoever loves a child loves his country; whoever helps a child holds a stake in the future of his country; whoever saves a child sits on the seat with the builders of cities and the prophets of insting peace. instead of better, and the result would have been a social upheaval. But the inevitable result of this war will be a pruning of capitalistic tyranny and a healthy invasion of socialism from the top, to say nothing of the general awakening and desire for the betterment of mankind, which will remove so many of the proletariat grievances that they will not have half a leg to stand on. It is a pity it could not come sooner, but history is history; our war did not come until it was due. Moreover, people, particularly when moderately successful, never rouse themselves to reform until they have received a severe jolt. That, however, is for the future, and there is only one way to deal with the present problem; exterminate it. When a careless farmer has permitted his fields to be invaded by gophers, rats, rattlesnakes and other vermin, he cannot afford to sit down and reproach himself and invent excuses for the invaders; he makes a clean sweep and kills them off, sweeps away the formidable menace to his prosperity. Then, a wiser man, he takes measures to keep his fields and granaries free of vermin in the future, and watches unceasingly. But he exterminates first. One Class Without Friends. To reason with an I. W. W. would profit as much as to reason with a rattlesnake, charged with poison and waiting its opportunity to strike. In the first place, what brains these outlaws ever had not only have deteriorated with class hatred, but they never would have been I. W. W's, if they had had a shred of natural ability, or were not too lazy to work. They must be got rid of, root and branch. The leaders should either be executed or shut up in asylums for the criminally insane, and the rest either deported or punished. As for the American Liberals who are trying to raise a fund to defend these outcasts, no censure is too harsh for them. They are either German agents, cowardly pacifists, or little groups of would be "intellectuals," who long to be thought academic, detached, remote from the vulgar passions that govern mankind in time of war. Well, that is the point. We happen to be at war. An attitude that no one would quarrel with in times of peace, for we are quite willing to let inadequately gifted men and women win a little prominence in whatever way they can, when all are living for themselves; they come under the head of menaces or pests when the entire country should be united in a single purpose. No doubt the government will get round to them in time, but if it does not there is an ever worse punishment in store for them, the contempt of their fellow citizens. They will be outlanders, forced to endure the society of one another to the last of their days. In other words, they will be boycotted. Perhaps they would prefer the word verboten. HUN POETS FAIL ON WAR GUESSES THINK IN TRUE KULTUR VEIN Forecast Only Short and Merry War, at End of Which Great German Hosts Will Be Conquerors of the World. By EARL DERR BIGGERS. (From the Committee on Public Information Washington, D. C.) tion, Washington, D.C.) Speaking of Germans—as who is not these days?—a celebrated French poet, Jean Aicard, has hit upon a rather neat and happy figure of speech. In a long and eloquent poem about the war, after he has described how the German horde, coming "forward with God" as they put it, swept down on Paris, and has pictured them baffled and beaten by the miracle of the Marne, he further recalls how—"having prepared themselves in France a terrier's hole"—they Intrenched themselves therein, defeated, driven, hurried Backed by France and scorned Back by the sword of France and scorned by all the world And then what happened? Let Al card tell it: There, in their filthy holes, their natural habitat, As lives the hunted boar, the crouching soldiers sat; And, as a putrid pool exhales an evil smell, smeir, They poured their poisons forth straight from the maw of hell, Defiled the blue of heaven and made the virgin air A party to the crime they perpetrated there. The choking gas that rose, mephitic, from their holes. their holes, Was very like the breath and odor of their souls. The odor of their souls! The present writer must confess that this simile strikes him as a remarkably fit and appropriate one. Today we know only too well the odor of their souls, and we are determined to send our men over to those holes in France, to disinfect them with the only serviceable antiseptics—the bayonet and the bullet. Everything that keeps that odor strong in our nostrils will be of help in the salvation of our country, since it will keep us firm in our determination to do or die. So one is inclined to feel that Prof. H. C. Grumbine of Clark university, who has recently translated into very readable English the war poetry of France and Germany, has done this country a patriotic service. Professor Grumbine knows that nowhere are the ideals of a nation more clearly revealed than in its literature, and he adds that literature in its purest form is poetry. So he has gone to the poets of the two countries to discover what was in their minds in the early days of the war. With an ardent desire to be fair, he has not chosen verses which prove any particular point for him, but has sought to confine himself to the leading and the representative bards. In Germany such men as Sudermann. Lissauer, and Herzog; in France, Boutrel and Aicard, the former a laureate and the latter a member of the French academy. And having translated the verses of these men he has drawn some logical and illuminating conclusions regarding the German god and the French god, the German soul and the soul of the French. Grumbine's Deductions. Grumbine's Deductions. Let us glance on a moment over Professor Grumbine's shoulder at the translations he has made; then briefly let us consider his conclusions. If the matter strikes you, dear reader, as academic and—dread word—literary, be assured that it will not be treated here in either academic or literary fashion. Professor Grumbine opens the door for you, and you wander with him through that dark hinterland—the German mind; he leads you on to the heights where the French thinker sits. When, much to the surprise of everybody in Germany, war was declared the German soldier immediately rushed to his locker, where everything was ready for him, including a canteen filled with fresh water. Simultaneously the German poet rushed to his fountain pen which—God and the kalser forgot nothing—was also filled, not with water, but with a venomous liquid that flowed red, like blood. This war has reminded us that it is not the man who fights in the field who is the true master of hate and bitterness; it is the highly educated and cultured thinker at home who screams loudest and foams most freely at the lips. If the German poets had been for a moment at a loss as to what view to take of the war, of course the German government would have set them right. (There was that naive newspaper in Munich which at the start pleaded pathetically for the government to "take charge of public opinion.") One could fancy some such advertisement in the Berlin papers: "German poets will call at the Wilhelmstrasse between two and four on Thursday to secure their points of view on the war." However, it is improbable the German poets needed any instruction. They thought about the war just what the kalser wanted them to think, what he and his kind had been training the whole German nation, poets included, for 40 years, to think. They greeted the catastrophe with a mighty cry, a cry partly of hate for Germany's enemies, partly of joy that now at last Germany's hour had struck. Wrote thus one enthusiastic German baro: Hurrah! Hip, hurrah! Away with all labor! It is war! Bloody war! Get your rifle and grab it. and saber! This hip-hurrah greeting for bloody war was characteristic of most of the early war poetry. The poets, unfortunately, were not prophets. The blood which they viewed in prospect was to flow mostly from the bodies of the contemptible foe, Germany, marching with God, was invincible. A short war and a merry one, and at the end the great German hosts conquerors of the world! If they could have foreseen then the long and wery road ahead, the hip-hurrah note might have been mingled even more freely with the venom and hate the balked and beaten monster feels for those who stand in his way. Where God Stands. One looks in vain in this output of German poetry for a note of abhorrence of war, a question as to whether or not this is God's way for settling disputes. There is no question as to where God stands, he rides on the German shells, directs the Zeppelin, greets joyously the submarine, chuckles with delight that his chosen people have in their hands the weapons whereby to impose their will—which is his will—on the world. More of this peculiar German god anon. Through this weller of harsh German poetry runs only a roar of delight in German strength, a great satisfied sigh that now at last the world is to feel that strength. Here and there, as though by way of afterthought, there is a bit of camouflage as to who started the war. Before going on to picture the downfall of the enemy one bard pauses to remark: War! War! Awake! The French have crossed the Rhine, And Cossacks swarm upon our eastern line. These obvious lies are not dwelt on however. Probably not even the poet expected anybody to believe them. They were just thrown in as a sop to the diplomats at the Wilhelmstrasse. Public opinion, which had been taken charge of by the authorities, was "verboten" to forget these things. And it was added, in faint voice here and there: "We did not wish this war." One is reminded, by way of aside, of the excellent Australian cartoon which pictured the kaiser sitting, head in hands, in the company of the crown prince. "I did not want this war." "No," says the crown prince in a lucid moment, "it was quite a different war you wanted, it wasn't, papa?" But coming back to the poets, it may be said that while at rare intervals they remembered to make a note of the fact that the war was a complete and unpleasant surprise to Germany, their whole attitude was that now that it had come, they were delighted. They dreamed of blood, they sang of it. At last the weapons Germany had been fondling so long were to find a mark. Rudolf Herzog wrote a dainty little thing, urging the soldiers on—he was evidently somewhere in the rear himself—and the refrain of each verse ran: What though the earth of hell be full, Our steel shall cleave the foeman's skull. Such was the picture that inspired the frenzied poets, the gentlemen of the pen. A soul-satisfying, delectable picture of German steel deep in the foeman's skull, while rich, delicious blood was everywhere. England With the Allies. England With the Allies. While they were in the midst of gory composition, their eyes in a fine frenzy rolling, England entered the war on the side of the allies. This was distinctly verboten, and it upset the German plan horribly. England was to stand aside until Russia and France were annihilated, and then be wiped out in her turn. Anyone who has ever been in Germany knows the fury of a German whose system is upset. Immediately the mad poets grew madder yet, and the recipient of all their poisoned darts was poor old England. The anger of a German when things are going as he wished is not a pretty thing, but the anger of the same man when things are going wrong is enough to make God tremble. In this dark hour when all Germany was sputtering with a fury so terrible it seemed words could not be found to express it, Herr Ernst Lissauer came forward and earned the nation's gratitude by pening his famous "Hymn of Hate." In our country we are all familiar with this dainty little thing, which ends: To, what care we for French or Russ? It's a shot for a shot when they shoot at us. We fight our battles with bronze and steel. And when we stop we shall see you kneel! It's you we hate with a lasting hate— Nor will we abate one title of hate— Hate by water and hate by land, Hate of the head and hate of the hand. Hate of artisan, hate of king. Hate which seventy millions ring: One love they know, one hate they know, They know but one, one only foe: England! Little Erust, groping around in the madhouse, seems to have found words that pretty well express his meaning. In fact, he seems to have put across in fairly effective shape the idea that the Germans don't care much for the English, whichever way you look at it. But if he hated before, what must have been his fury at the reception his outbreak got in England? Instead of cowering in fear, a laugh went up from the British isles that was heard round the world. The Tommies in the trenches, treated to a German concert, shouted across: "Sing us a comic song—sing us the 'Ynn of Hyte.'" And it is recorded in Boyd Cable's "Between the Lines" that Cockney regiments, to while away idle hours, have been known to sing variations: Hyte of the 'eart and byte of the 'and Hyte of the 'eart and hyte of the 'and 'Oo do we hyte to bet the band: Hingland! Which is very cruel of them, and entirely beyond the comprehension of the raiding foe.

MISS CLEO HOBSON OF LOS AN GELES WRITES ON THE HAGAN RECITAL. Editor Colorado Statesman: Though I am not fully restored to health yet I could not resist the temptation of going to hear Miss Helen E. Hagan in her piano recital at the Zion A. M. E. Church, Sept. 3rd, and being a lover of music as well as a student in the art of piano playing, I feel it a duty to say, a word on this member of our race, who besides being a wonderful artist is a credit to the American nation. I have heard many artists of the piano, including such masters as Paderewski, Hoffman, etc., and in my humble opinion think Miss Hagan not only ranks with them, but merits everything of the press comments. Unaffected and apparently void of that nervousness which seems to attach to most performers, she goes about her work with comparative ease, and apart from her training evinces an original expression which finds great appreciation in her audience. Denver musicians—teachers and pupils—should not fail to hear this pianist, as her performance will lend inspiration to intending artists, offer encouragement to musical aspirants, and strengthen the propaganda of universal democracy for which our country is now giving her best and most, as in her being selected as one of the four to entertain the men in France, Miss Hagan is helping to suppress and abolish the wrongs we have been subjected to as a race by her talent. Thanking you, Editor. Yours very truly, CLEO HOBSON. Los Angeles, Sept. 5. --- It was a large crowd that gathered last Sunday afternoon to hear the Ladies' Day program, an event that comes off about once every three months. This was the first for the fall season, and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Special vocal selections were rendered by Miss Naomi Brown and Miss Hermionne Jones, the latter being accompanied by Mrs. DeFrantz-McKinley. If importance also was the presence of the Rev. Mr. Washington of Roger Williams College, Nashville, Tenn., and Prof. G. W. Henderson, president and founder of Henderson's Business College of Memphis, the only distinctive colored business school in the country. Prof. Henderson is one of the greatest stenographers and typists in the country, and has also been selected as one of the four-minute men to assist the government in mobilizing the man-power of the country. Several white friends of his, members of the Bahai movement, a kind of a moral and social cult of Oriental origin, to which Prof. Henderson belongs, were also present, and the Rev. C. A. Williams and Rev. T. S. McRorris. The sound of mallet and ball has become a favorite one, and some good games have been played. With the return of Chairman L. H. Lightner it is expected some heavy games will be played. Sims was back on the grounds last week, and he and Adolphus Lightner won a hotly-contested game from King and Leslie Lightner. The two latter players also won from Adolphus Lightner and Buford early in the week, but Adolphus and Leslie also won from King and L. H. Lightner. Perhaps one of the most neatly played games was one in which Leslie Lightner and Bell severely beat Rev. Williams and Counsellor Blakemore Wednesday evening. A large program will be rendered next Sunday afternoon. The Rev. A. Waymond Ward will be the principal speaker, with other men also attending the annual conference of the A. M. E. Church. Special vocal music by Mrs. Monroe Conner and Mrs. Beatrice Arnold. Ladies also will be welcome. Program begins at four o'clock. Every music lover, pupil, parent and teacher, should hear Miss Helen E. Hagan, Mus. B. Yale, at Zion on Friday, Sept. 20th. She is a credit to her race and nation. LOOK! IMPORTANT! The Janitors' Protective Union No. 15,641 meets the first and third Thursday of each month at 401 Club building, 1731 Arapahoe street. In all cities with organizations janitors receive 40 per cent more wages than unorganized ones. A few years ago plumbers received $3 per day. Now they receive $7, and just so with all organized trades and common labor. Unorganized labor is in keen competition with each other for a meager existence. Come, join, and let us help each other.

Miss Jane Addams, noted friend of the people, who is spending the summer at Longs' Peak Inn, Eates Park, lunched on Labor Day at the Stanley Hotel with a party of friends from Chicago. For many years Miss Addams has been at the head of Hull House, Chicago, which she founded. This was the first settlement house of its kind in the United States, patterned in some respects after the famous Toynbee Hall in London, England. Miss Addams' active interest in the betterment of social conditions among the unfortunate of whatever race or creed gives her a world-wide reputation. Mr. Mayes Roffle of Lawrence, Kan. who has been employed at the Stanley hotel, left for Fort Collins to be examined for the arry. He was 21 on August 19, and was notified August 24. Before leaving he paid for six months' subscription to The Colorado Statesman, to be sent to his mother, Mrs. Mollie Roffle, 771 Hickory street, Lawrence, Kan. Mr. Roffle expects to be sent to Camp Lewis, Washington. Mrs. L. P. Cowden, formerly of Washington, D. C., and for several years matron at the Stanley hotel, Estes Park, has a son in France and is expecting her daughter to leave soon to take up the Red Cross work. Her little grandson, Sidney, 9 years old, will be left with Grandmother Cowden Mr. L. W. Walker has been confined to his room for several days with rheumatism, but is at work again at this writing. Among the noted persons who visited the Stanley hotel this season was Dr. R. H. Jackson of Madison, Wis. Dr. Jackson is chief surgeon of the draft board and leaves a large private practice at home in order to serve his country. He has a brother in the service also, who has charge of the remount station in France. Miss Williams of Chicago was also among the ladies of note to spend several weeks as guest of the Stanley hotel. Both Miss Williams and her sister are very much interested in women's suffrage among the colored women, and read the account of their convention, which was held in Denver last summer, with much interest in The Colorado Statesman. Miss Williams has spent much time visiting Hampton University and other institutions of learning in the South, and speaks of them in the highest terms.

With a very accommodating and nicely arranged suite of rooms on the second floor, Colorado hotel, and a courtesy which is unsurpassed, the chairman and his staff are ever ready to give their services to Republican party supporters, and The Colorado Statesman, in wishing more of success to the party, cannot give justice without including our county chairman as a recipient of its best wishes for continued success in his present sphere. won the nomination, and all Republicans, guided by party loyalty, should do everything in their power to insure his election, which will find a ready response from a public-spirited body of citizens who appreciate GOOD THINGS IN SEASON. BIRDS ARE VALUED Carrier Pigeons Do Excellent Service for Army. Many Now Being Trained at the University of Wisconsin Under the Direction of the Government—Made Splendid Record. Carrier pigeons for the army are now being trained at the University of Wisconsin, and special experiments with the birds are being carried on under the direction of the government. This new war work has been taken up under the direction of Prof. L. J. Cole, head of the department of experimental breeding. Twenty-five young pigeons have been received from the signal corps for use in flying investigations, and 14 old birds for breeding purposes have been donated by a Cleveland pigeon fancier. Lieut. W. L. Butler of the central department of the signal corps at Chicago and Maj. Frank Griffin of the Washington office were at the university recently making arrangements for the work. A warning not to shoot pigeons has been issued by the bureau of information at Washington on account of the large number of homing pigeons which are being trained in various parts of the country. Now that the training is also being carried on in Wisconsin, the people of that state are being warned not to shoot pigeons, and if any bird is found bearing the label "U. S. A. O. 18," the mark borne by all government pigeons, it should be reported to the chief signal officer at Washington. In the present war homing pigeons play a large part in the carrying of important messages, because they can fly home when telephones, telegraph and wireless have been destroyed, and are rarely hit by gunfire. The process of training a pigeon for military purposes consists in first taking it about 1,000 yards from home and loosening it so that it can fly back; then the distance is increased and the direction changed as the training progresses. The average speed of a homing pigeon is from 1,400 to 1,700 yards a minute, although many make much higher speed than this. Important messages in the army are usually sent by two birds in order to insure safe delivery and but few messages are lost. A small aluminum container is fastened to the birds' legs to carry messages, or else the bits of paper are tled directly on the legs. Stories are recorded daily in the war of life-saving feats accomplished by homing pigeons. A crew of a vessel struck by a submarine recently had just time to free a homing pigeon before the ship sunk. Although the bird was wounded by shots from the German submarine, it flew to another craft 12 miles away and saved the lives of the men floundering about in the water. Men are in great demand in the homing pigeon operator branch of the signal service. No man of draft age can be inducted into this service, but there is a call for men below twenty-one and over thirty years of age for this work. Not Charlie Chaplin but Lloyd George. After a meeting which Lloyd George had attended a cheering band of admirers escorted the prime minister to his car. There, in the freedom of her rags and tatters, stood a typical cockney girl. She gazed at the enthusiasts with astonishment and then her eyes glistened as they fell on the features of Lloyd George. "It's Charlie," she cried. "Charlie Chaplin. Give another three cheers." "No, my girl," exhained one of the crowd; "it is not Charlie Chaplin. It is the prime minister." "Lloyd George? Good old Lloyd George. Give him six cheers." Admiration could go no further. Launching Seaplanes. When a big seaplane is to be launched from the deck of a ship it is first "tuned up" on the launching stage. Then the ship is swung into the teeth of the wind and put at full speed. At a signal the pilot starts his engine full speed, while two mechanics braced against cleats on the deck, hold back the tugging seaplane. When the "tone" of the engine is right, the wing commander brings down his flag with a sharp jerk, falls on his face to avoid a collision, and the machine freed from the grip of the men holding it, jumps away into space from the launching stage. Ribbons Substituted for Iron Crosses. In Germany iron is so scarce that enough cannot be spared to make all the Iron Crosses needed to carry out the government's policy of wholesale distribution of war honors. At least, such a condition is strongly indicated by a souvenir from a battlefield that has been received in this country." It is a black and white ribbon which the sender, a medical officer, asserts is one of many that have been awarded in lieu of crosses. The ribbon was found on the body of a dead enemy.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Cannon Balls Are Round. Artist—There's one good feature about this war: there won't be any cannon balls to stack up in ugly piles in our parks. These old cannon balls are absolutely inappropriate for our public squares. Cholly—Still, you know, you can't get square cannon balls, can you?— Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Western Newspaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS.

Experimental tests in treatment of manganese and potash bearing ores are in progress at the Portland Gold Mining Company's Colorado Springs mill, by G. H. Clevenger and E. R. Bryan of the United States Bureau of Mines, with the object of relieving the shortage of these necessary war materials, and the experts are accredited with making important discoveries. Advices received by the Denver Civie and Commercial Association indicate that the pinto bean crop of last year in Colorado was even larger than the claim that was entered by statisticians and farmers. Instead of 90,000,000 pounds, it now appears, according to railroad reports, that the crop of 1917 was between 110,000,000 and 120,000,000 pounds. Philip C. Talsey of Denver was a member of the personnel of the United States transport Mount Vernon, aboard which thirty-five men lost their lives when the ship was torpedoed Sept. 5, but his name is not listed among the casualties.

A. to assist in the direction of the united war work campaign, which is to be held throughout the entire country in the week beginning Nov. 11. Owners of mines in the gold-silver camps of the San Juan region should make it a point and purpose to keep their taxes paid, their titles clear and water out of the levels, so that the item of sale or the matter of resumed activity may not be delayed at a time when delay would cost money. Three Coloradoans have been appointed second lieutenants of infantry in the United States army from the Fourth Central Officers' Training School at Camp Gordon, Ga., as follows: John H.

GOT THIRTY HUNS BEFORE HE DIED SCOTTY, YOUNGEST SOLDIER IN PERSHING'S, FORCES, IS MOURNED BY ARMY. HIS HEROIC DEATH RELATED Red Cross Establishes Tailor Shop in Berne to Supply Captured American Officers With Uniforms—New Plan for Training Flyers. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—Private Albert E. Scott, the youngest soldier in General Pershing's army in France—he was but fifteen years of age and a Brookline, Mass., high school boy when he enlisted—is dead, shot through the head by a German sniper after he had held thirty foes to rest, and the army mourns its boy hero. A soldier writer for The Stars and Stripes, the A. E. F. paper, tells this story: "In the regiment they are talking these days of all the good pals they lost in the fierce, unfortgettable chase they gave the Germans in the great retreat from the Marne. But most of all—a little oftener and a bit more fondly—they talk of Scotty. "He was a good kid, they say, and he died on his gun. "His great chance came when on that historic July 18 his regiment got the order for which, through many a month of dreams, it had longed—the order to advance. It went 18 kilometers without stopping, chasing the Boche up hill and down dale, fighting its way through patch after patch of inviting woods that would prove treacherous with hidden machine guns. "In the first days of that battle, the movement was so swift that more than once a small German rear guard and an advance Yank platoon would meet in the forest and fight out then and there a complete and separate battle all their own.- So it was with the Indians, as Scotty's regiment was nicknamed, one afternoon, as they were making their way past the bitterly won town of Epieds. "At the cross road they saw troops approaching them in column of squads. The officer in charge caught (them in the focus of his field glasses. They were Boches, coming on. The Yanks waited, itching to open fire, but biding their time. Suddenly the Boches deserted the road and came on them through the forest. "The lieutenant placed his men along n roadside ditch. He placed Scotty and his sho-sho beside a tree and squarely opposite a narrow woodland path that opened across the way. He could see straight down that path, and the Boches were bound either to come along it or to cross it. "See that path, Scotty?" said the lieutenant. "That's your target. Not one of them must cross it." "Yes, sir," said Scotty, and dropped beside his gun. "A gray figure darted suddenly into the leafy path. He fell. "Another appeared. He fell. "There was perhaps ten minutes of that, and what was left of the German party was withdrawing when a handful of soldiers scampered along the road. They were Germans, but they shouted as they ran. 'Don't shoot, we're Americans.' "For a moment, just for the space that a breath is held, Scotty thrust his head up to see. From his perch in some tree a sniper shot him in the forehead. Another bullet found his heart. He fell forward, dead, on his gun. "They had killed him, but the number of their dead that are counted as his was thirty." Roller skates as a part of the speed-up program in force at the Rock Island arsenal. Illinois, have been adopted by women messenger employees. Women employed in the time division at the arsenal are voluntarily working the first Saturdays and Sundays of each month closing the pay roll sheets so that all arsenal workers may be paid promptly. According to the "Arsenal Record," published by the employees, Rev. M. E. Krotzer, pastor of the Presbyterian churches at LeClaire and Princeton, Iowa, is putting in his five weeks' vacation as an arsenal worker. The same paper reports the fifthth anniversary as an arsenal worker at Rock Island of Emil Beck, seventy years old, inspector in the tin shop, who went there when the arsenal consisted of a small group of wooden buildings, relics of Civil war days, and employed from 200 to 400 men only through the summer months. Cuba has a closing law which shuts all stores, warehouses, shops, etc., in the larger cities at 6 p. m. week days, and all day Sundays. Retail food stores keep open until 8 p. m. week days and 10 p. m. Sundays. Barber shops remain open until 7 p. m. on Mondays and Fridays, 11 p. m. Saturdays, but cannot sell perfumes while general stores are closed. A company has been formed in Yokohama, Japan, to turn out a substitute for Portland cement. The new material will be made of tast, and lime. Captured American army and navy officers are reaching German prison camps without clothing and shoes. The American Red Cross has established a tailor shop in Berne to supply them with proper uniforms, according to information just reaching the bureau of prisoners' relief. The officers, it seems, in being hustled back from the front by their captors lose their overcoats, blouses and even trousers. Frequently their leather etes, which are greatly coveted by the Germans, are taken from them, and they are forced to wear wooden shoes. The clothing of others is so damaged in strenuous fighting as to need replacement. To outfit the forty commissioned Americans known to be in the German camps and others who may be captured later, the Red Cross purchased a tailor shop in Paris and moved tailors and outfit outright to Switzerland. This shop is now turning out each week 12 uniforms made to measurements supplied by mail by the various prisoners in the various camps. The men are supplied also with underclothing, shoes, toilet articles, towels and food. The food is particularly necessary to supplement the meager prison fare for which the Germans make the captured officers pay in money. The stripping of prisoners apparently takes place only at the front in the heat and confusion of battle. Camp committees, appointed by the prisoners themselves, see that American prisoners receive supplies sent them. Experienced flying officers are being returned from abroad to act as special instructors in the more advanced courses of aviation training which is being developed by the air service. Recent practice in elemental training now gives the candidate more time in the air with his instructor than heretofore. The new plan is known as the Gosport system or "All Thru," as it is popularly called here, and insures closer contact between the cadet and instructor. When the cadets arrive at a flying field from the ground school, where they have learned much of the theory of flight, engine control and repair, radio, signaling and other kindred subjects, several of them are assigned to an instructor who stays with them until they are qualified in elemental flying. They are then sent to the special schools for final work and training in their particular line, as pursuit, reconnaissance, artillery control, or bombing pilots. The old practice of giving a cadet so much time in the air under instruction and then turning him loose for his first solo flight, in a "sink or swim" fashion, is being discontinued, and what is believed to be a more safe and sane system is being adopted. Organization of forty air squadrons has been authorized. Four will be located at Houston, Tex., and 36, or a training brigade of three wings, on Long Island, N. Y. The base of this Long Island training brigade, as now planned, will be Hazelhurst field, near Mifflinola. The squadrons will be quartered in groups of four or nine outlying fields. These squadrons are to serve under field conditions simulating, as nearly as practicable, the conditions behind the lines in France. Information received by the children's bureau of the department of labor seems to indicate that everywhere in the United States children are receiving less milk than they should have. Such decreases are undoubtedly due in part to the high cost of milk. It is the poorest families that have been forced to make the greatest reduction in the amount of milk purchased. But that reduction would perhaps not be so great, the children's bureau says, if all mothers fully realized the value of food in the diet of their children. Milk has been called the "perfect food." Authorities agree that it supplies the elements necessary to the growing child in the most digestible form. In spite of its increasing cost, it supplies those elements also in the cheapest form. It is estimated that, on the basis of its nutritive value, milk compared with steak at 40 cents a pound, and eggs at 48 cents a dozen, should be priced at about $27 \frac{1}{2}$ cents a quart. Workers for Children's Year, to whom the weighing, and measuring test for children under five years of age has revealed how many children in the United States are undeveloped as a result of improper diet, are engaged in campaigns to bring the importance of milk to the attention of mothers and to make it possible for them to procure enough milk to keep their children strong and well. Many milk stations where mothers may receive pure silk at a nominal cost, or free, if they cannot afford to pay for it, have been established in connection with children's year work, and public measures for ensuring a pure and adequate milk supply have been undertaken in many communities. Among these measures are the establishment of pasturization plants, the inspection of the milk supply, and the passing of regulations controlling distribution. The total value of all imports into the United Kingdom during the first six months of 1918 were $3,173,851,129; of exports, $1,201,211,086. For the same period of 1916 the values were: Imports, $2,310,730,038; exports, $1,176,758,033. The submarine has not destroyed the commerce of Great Britain. Camp Shelby, Miss., will be remodeled and converted from a tent camp into a cannonment with permanent quarters and camp utilities, at a total cost of $5,467,378. THE KITCHEN CABINET Tis well to have a merry heart Quite free from grief consuming, And cheerfully to bear our part. For better days are coming. ECONOMICAL MEAT DISHES. EAT may be made to go twice as far in serving and the dish still be as valuable from a nutritive standpoint. M Serbian Rice.-Wipe with a dampened cloth a piece of meat from the shoulder, cut in inch squares. Heat a frying pan, add a tablespoonful of any sweet fat, and one small onion and a third of a carrot, both sliced. Put over the heat with the meat, a tablespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of paprika, and cook over a slow fire. When half cooked add a pint of water and a half cupful of rice, adding more water as needed. Add more seasoning if needed before serving. Chili Con Carni.-Boll a pound of lean beef until tender, then remove from the broth and chop in small pieces. Put back into the broth with half a pound of kidney beans, which have been cooked until tender; add to these a quart of tomatoes, a bit of garlic and a red pepper. Cook for 20 minutes and season with salt and serve. Mutton Stew.—Take a piece of mutton from the neck, cut in small pieces and put to cook with a sprig of parsley, a bay leaf, two cloves, two peppercorns and water to nearly cover the meat. Let simmer about two hours, then add a carrot or two, cut in fancy slices; add six potatoes, cut in thick slices, a cupful of tomato, and simmer until the meat and vegetables are tender. Remove the bay leaf and the parsley and serve. The objectionable flavor, the woolly taste, is in the pink skin on which the wool grows. If this skin is removed the stew will be more delicate. Liver a la Mme. Begune.—Take a half pound of calf's liver, cut in thin slices. Lay the liver in salted water while peeling five large onions, slice in thin slices and cut in halves. Dry the liver and place it in layers with the onion; let stand for an hour, then cut the liver in cubes, dredge with flour and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the onions in the same way, they try all in a frying basket until well cooked, the onions a golden brown. Pile the liver in the center of the platter and garnish with a ring of onions. Hamburg Steak.—Make a mound of the chopped seasoned meat, adding a pinch of cloves and a bit of grated onion, with the salt and pepper for seasoning, and cover the top with latticed strips of salt pork, arranging them carefully, then bake. Remove to a hot platter and garnish with parsley. Serve with mushroom sauce. "I can't afford it," are hard words for the average American to say, but in the very act of saying them he is on the verge of being able to afford R.—S. E. Post. SUMMER SALADS. HE name of salad may mean fruit, fish, flesh or fowl, not to mention the countless vegetable combinations. National New Garden Commission Spinach is a good green to be used as a salad after it has been cooked. Serve with hard-cooked egg and a boiled salad dressing, with a bit of finely chopped onion. Chopped chives may be used in place of the onion and French dressing in place of the boiled dressing. Fresh green onions cut up over crisp lettuce and served with French dressing is a most wholesome salad. Fresh green onions sliced in sour cream, seasoned with salt and a few dashes of paprika, is another tasty salad to prepare in a hurry. Lettuce, peanuts and chopped onion with French dressing is another good combination. Cheese and celery is a dainty combination when one wants something out of the ordinary. Stuff the short, tender stalks of the celery with grated seasoned cheese or with cream cheese. French dressing is usually prepared by using one part of vinegar to three parts of oil, with salt and pepper to taste. A change from the ordinary is made by adding a teaspoonful of catchup, or other sauce, some chopped green pepper and serve this on sliced cucumbers or on tomatoes. Served on head lettuce with chives this is especially good. Radishes and green peppers served on lettuce with mayonnaise is another salad worthy of note. Watercress is one of our most valuable salad plants; being rich in mineral matter makes it a good tonic. Brazilian Salad.—Here is a dainty fitbit to place before one's friends. Take equal parts of sliced pineapple and strawberries, with a dozen Brazilian nuts, cut in thin slices after removing the brown skin. Let stand to marinate in a little French dressing and serve with mayonnaise on lettuce. Roquefort cheese, a tablespoonful finely chopped, sprinkled over head lettuce, with French dressing, is a salad worth trying. A pretty salad may be prepared by rolling balls of cream cheese in chopped pistachio nuts. Serve on lettuce with any desired dressing.

BUSY BEES CAN HELP YOU SAVE SUGAR THE HIVE Three Storehouses That Will Help to Stretch the Sugar Supply. USE MORE HONEY IN YOUR COOKING One of Best Substitutes for Sugar to Be Found on Any Farm Is in Apiary. SEVERAL RECIPES ARE GIVEN Little Bee Makes It Possible for One to Indulge in Sweets Without Troubling Conscience—Useful in Preserves. If you keep bees, count yourself fortunate in these days of sugar stringency. The bees can provide you with one of the best of the sugar substitutes, and will make it possible for you to indulge your taste for sweets without hurting your conscience. With honey to supplement the limited sugar supply, the two pounds per person per month becomes a liberal allowance. Not only is the honey useful to eat as such, either strained, in the comb, or candied, but it lends itself to various combinations that make it practicable to use in place of sugar. Baked fruit, such as whole apples with the cores removed; baked whole peaches, or cooked dried fruit are very good sweetened with honey in place of sugar. Preserves or marmalades may also be made with honey. Apple or pear preserves made by the following recipe are very good: Honey Preserves. 2 quarts apples or 1 teaspoonful cinnamon 2 quarts apples or 1 teaspoonful cin- pears cut into namon small pieces 1 cupful vinegar 2 cupful honey Heat the honey, vinegar, and cinnamon together and cook the pieces of fruit a few at a time in the stirup until they become transparent. Pour over all the stirup which remains after all the fruit is cooked. Honey may also be used in cake making or for sweetening ice cream, custards or puddings, and in cake and cookie making. In substituting honey for sugar you will get good results if you will follow your old recipes, substituting a cupful of honey for a cupful of sugar and using one-fourth less of whatever liquid the recipe requires. Soft Honey Custard. 2 cupful milk 1-3 cupful honey 3 egg yolks ½ teaspoonful salt $ \mathrm{8} $ egg yolks $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful salt Mix the honey, eggs and salt. Scald the milk and pour it over the eggs. Cook in a double boiler until the mixture thickens. This custard is suitable for use in place of cream or gelatin desserts or to be poured over sliced oranges or stewed fruit. Here are some cakes and cookies making use of honey for sweetening that have been tested and found good. Some soda is added in most cases because of the slight acidity of honey. Soft Honey Cake. $ \frac{1}{2} $ cupful butter 1 teaspoonful soda $ \frac{1}{2} $ cupful honey $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful gin $ \frac{1}{2} $ egg 4 cupful sour milk 4 cupful flour $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful clin- $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful salt namon Rub the butter and honey together, add the egg, well beaten, then the sour milk, and the flour sifted with the soda and spices. Bake in shallow pan. ¾ cupful honey 2 tablespoonfuls wa- ¾ cupful butter ter ½ teaspoonful chin- 1 cupful raisins, cut namon in small pieces ½ teaspoonful cloves ¼ teaspoonful salt 1 egg 1 teaspoonful bak- ½ to 2 cupfuls flour ing powder ½ teaspoonful goda Heat the honey and butter until the butter melts. While the mixture is warm add the spices. When cold add part of the flour, the egg well beaten, the soda dissolved in water, and the raisins. Add enough other flour to make a dough that will hold its shape. Drop by spoonfuls on a buttered tin and bake in a moderate oven. Honey Sponge Cake. ½ cupful sugar 1 cupful sifted flour ½ cupful honey ¼ teaspoonful salt 4 eggs Mix the sugar and honey and boll until the stirup will spin a thread when drapped from the spoon. Pour the stirup over the yolks of the eggs, which have been beaten until light. Beat the mixture until cold; add the flour and cut and fold the beaten whites of the eggs into the mixture. Bake for 40 or 50 minutes in a pan lined with buttered paper in a slow oven. Sift together the flour, spices, and soda, and add other ingredients. Knead thoroughly roll out thin, and cut with a biscuit cutter. These cookies are very hard. For other recipes send to the United States department of agriculture for Farmers' Bulletin No. 633, "Honey and Its Uses in the Home." Make the most of your honey supply and save the sugar. DEMAND FOR HONEY The present honey crop of the United States barely exceeds 250,000,000 pounds. That the country produces even this much is unknown to most people, it is stated; for while honey was the chief form of sugar used in ancient times, the ease of getting cane or beet sugar has placed honey in the background. Now that our sugar supply is reduced by reason of supplying the allies with part of the sugar they need, the demand for honey has increased not only domestically but also for export. Green Tomatoes. When the first hard frost leaves you with a large supply of green tomatoes on hand you will make some of them into pickle—but do you know how good they are to use as a vegetable? They are very good sliced and fried. Slice in one-half inch slices, sprinkle with salt and fry until tender in a little fat. If you wish them browned, dip the slices in flour or bread crumbs or first dip in eggs and then in crumbs before frying. If you are fond of fried apple and onions, you will also like the following. Slice onion and green tomatoes and fry together. Serve at dinner or as a relish for supper. They are very good, too, stewed much as you stew the ripe ones. Stewed Green Tomatoes. 4 large green toma-2 tablespoonful sugars ½ teaspoonful pep- 2 tablespoonfuls per bread crumbs ½ teaspoonful salt ½ teaspoonful onion 1 tablespoonful but- juice ter scald tomatoes and remove skins, cut into quarters, boil until tender; season and thicken with crumbs. They give a distinctive flavor to cream soup, and are worth trying. Cream of Green Tomato Soup. 6 green tomatoes 1 cupful milk ½ teaspoonful soda ¼ teaspoonful salt 2 tablespoonfuls but- ½ teaspoonful peper per Boil the tomatoes until tender and put through a strainer. Make cream sauce of butter and flour, to which is added milk, salt and pepper. Add pulp to which soda has been added. Allow to cook ten minutes in double boiler. At this season of the year when the supply of fruits is at its highest and large quantities have been made into preserves, the combined use of preserved fruits and cottage cheese as a food-saving system should not be overlooked. The United States department of agriculture points out that cottage cheese with fruit preserves, such as strawberries, figs or cherries poured over it, and served with bread or crackers, makes a most appetizing and sustaining dish. If preferred, cottage cheese balls may be served separately or eaten with the preserves. A more attractive dish may be made by dropping a bit of jelly into a nest of the cottage cheese. TYNANDEFEATSGUNTER REPUBLICANS NOMINATE SHOUP AND PHIPPS. Vaile, Stack, Jones and Keating Named as Candidates for Congress. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver, Sept. 12. Complete returns from fourteen counties, including Denver, and incomplete returns from twenty-six others, which go to make up half of the voting precincts in the state, indicate that Lawrence C. Phipps and Oliver H. Shoup will have a majority of 15,000 over their opponents for the nomination for United States senator and governor, respectively, when the count is completed. The lead established by Thomas J. Tynan for Democratic nominee for governor over Julius C. Gunter, incumbent, early in the race, is maintained. Phipps in his race for the United States Senate gives promise of leading the ticket before the returns are all in. He has received 22,040 votes in 797 precincts out of 1,127 over the state as against 22,413 given Shoup for governor in 817 precincts. In Denver, Phipps received 6,982 more votes than Charles W. Waterman, the result being 11,033 votes for Phipps and 4,051 votes for Waterman. In the forty counties heard from, fourteen of which gave complete returns, Waterman received 10,826 votes against 22,040 received by Phipps. This gives Phipps a lead of 11,214. Shoup leads Charles A. Ballreich by 11,945 in 817 out of a total of 1,427 precincts in the state. The vote precincts: Shoup, 22,413, and Ballreich, 10,468. Governor Gunter received 6,799 fewer votes than Tynan in 817 out of 1,427 precincts in the state, Tynan getting 24,889 and Gunter 18,090 votes. In Denver Tynan's lead over the governor was 2,591, the vote being 9,514 for Tynan and 6,923 for Gunter. In the race for the Republican nomination for state auditor Stong is leading Catren in 734 out of 1,427 precincts in the state, including Denver, by 10,041. The vote stands: Stong, 16,869, and Catren, 6,828. Contest for the Democratic nomination for auditor in a like number of precincts over the state, including Denver, indicates that Barnard is leading McMahon by 7,404. The vote stands: Barnard, 15,949, and McMahon, 8,545. The Republican contest for state treasurer indicates that in 734 out of 1,427 precincts in the state, including Denver, Mulnix is leading Harper by 7,447. The vote stands: Mulnix, 16,648, and Harper, 9,201. Results in 771 out of 1,427 precincts in the state, including Denver, show that Churchill is leading Lockard for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor by 4,925. The vote stands: Churchill, 16,009, and Lockard, 11,084. One of the most spirited contests was that waged in both parties for the choice for congressman from the Denver district. William N. Vaile captured the nomination in the Republican ranks, with a majority of 1,895 over the vote cast for I. L. Boak. The count was 8,763 for Vaile and 6,868 for Boak. Among the Democrats, J. Leo Stack received 267 more votes than William L. Morrissey, according to the unofficial returns. The congressional contest in the Second district in 217 out of 442 precincts gives Jones a lead over Yore of 1,513. The vote stands: Jones, 3,169, and Yore, 1,656. Results in 236 out of 478 precincts in the Third district show Keating leading Martin by 1,700 for United States representative. The vote stands: Keating, 7,070, and Martin, 5,370. CALL 19-20 AND 32-36 MEN. Boys Will Be Detailed to Training Corps in October. Washington.—Provost Marshal General Crowder announced Tuesday that the first call to the colors of men who register Thursday will include men in the 19 and 20-year-old classes and in the classes from 32 to 36 years, inclusive. Questionnaires will go first to registrants within these specified age limits and local boards will be ordered to classify them first in readiness for calls beginning in October. Young men in the 19 and 20-year classes, Gen. Crowder said, will be accepted for induction into the students' army training corps, but he pointed out that the authorized strength of this corps represents only 150,000 men, whereas the total number of registrant's below 20 will be over 3,000,000. Gen. Crowder issued an appeal to employers to assist in the presentation of claims for occupational exemptions, and declared that no estimates could be made as to the number of older men who ought to be so exempted. Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 12.—Fred T. Colter of Apache county has been nominated for governor of Arizona on the Democratic ticket. Returns are so incomplete that the figures cannot be given, but he appears to be leading in every county but one. The nominees of the Republicans are Thomas E. Campbell for governor, Thomas Hardock for representative in Congress, David Benshimol for attorney general and N. E. Mathews for superintendent of education. YANKS BEGIN BIG DRIVE AT METZ ARIZONA, COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO TROOPS IN MIDST OF TWENTY-MILE BATTLE. CAPTURE TEN VILLAGES CAPTURE TEN VILLAGES GEN. PERSHING IN COMMAND OF GREAT OFFENSIVE BETWEEN MEUSE AND MOSELLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. — With French and American troops striking on a wide front south and east of Verdun the greatest battle, perhaps the decisive struggle of the war, may have begun. Early reports show this first employment of Gen. Pershing's new army is on a wide front, the French and American thrust covering twenty miles. Many officers here believe Marshal Foch now has struck the blow he has had in preparation ever since he determined to withhold the bulk of the American army from the fighting until the stage was set for decisive action. American divisions known to be in the positions from which the attack has been launched included the veteran First and Second divisions of the old regular army, the first American units to get into action in France; the Eighty-ninth National Army division, composed of Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona troops, and the Eighty-second National Army division, composed of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee troops. Launching of America's drive in the Toul sector, where probably 1,000,000 Yanks are concentrated, may mean the beginning of General Pershing's forecast campaign of destruction against the German industrial centers on the Rhine. It is known here that systematic destruction of the Rhine industries has long been urged. It has been felt that the best opportunity of giving Germany an example of the wreck she has wrought in Belgium and northern France lay in a campaign across the Rhine from the Americans' concentration point between the Meuse and the Moselle. Military experts felt that it offered the opportunity of shoving the boche well past the Hindenburg line and compelling him to drop back at least to the Meuse line. With the American Army on the Lorraine Front, Sept. 13.—St. Mihiel has been recaptured by the French, cooperating with the Americans under command of Gen. Pershing. The Americans in their drive reached the first objectives at some points an hour ahead of schedule time. Seven hundred prisoners have already been taken. All along the line the advance has been carried out on schedule. Near Malzerals the troops went ahead against machine gun fire by crawling, and tanks were sent to their aid. To the north Les Eparges hill and the neighboring Hill 322 were captured; numerous of the enemy surrendered at the latter place. The American casualties have been remarkably low. By 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon the Americans had gained possession of the villages of Nonsard, Pannes, Bouillonville and Thiacourt. Thiaucourt, Bouillonville, Pannes and several other towns in the south were captured in the initial dash, while on the west at the northern edge of the pocket the village of Combres was captured and the environs of Dommartin la Montagne were reached. To the south everywhere the Americans penetrated into the heights of the Meuse and the French fought their way into the outskirts of St. Mihiel. Unofficial reports are to the effect that the town has been recaptured by the French, and Gen. Pershing reports 8,000 prisoners taken. In the north Field Marshal Haig is still hard after the Germans in the region of Cambrai. Here he again has advanced his front toward the much-desired German base, penetrated into the old British defense line, crossed the Canal du Nord north of Havrincourt, taken Havrincourt and another section of the Hindenburg line, and sent 1,000 Germans into the British prison cage in the rear. The Germans fought hard at Havrincourt, say the British, but all their counter attacks were beaten off. Further advances for the British also are reported in the region south of La Bassee canal and northwest of Armentieres. Debs Convicted Under Spy Law. Cleveland, Ohio.—Eugene V. Debs, charged with violating the espionage act, was found guilty by a federal jury Thursday. Register 15,000,000 to Fight Trauma Washington.—With assurances from every section of the country that the registration of America's millions of men between the ages of 18 and 20 and 31 to 45, inclusive, had been accomplished with precision, Provost Marshal General Crowder turned his attention to the larger and more important task of classification of this great army. Thirteen million names, approximately, have now been added to the 11,000,000 already registered, making a total of 24,000,000. Western Beef Co.

Phone Main 1461 NOW THAT SEPTEMBER IS HERE SAPPORO ENTER THE AIRPLANE COAT THE FASHION WEEK It is a mystery to the younger generation—they cannot understand why the weeks that make up July and August pass so much more quickly than any other weeks in the year. Only a few days ago they turned their faces blissfully to the "long vacation" and now September is here in the briefest time imaginable and with it comes the beginning of the school year again. But the wholesome looking flapper whose camera image appears in the picture above, seems to be facing her school days with great cheerfulness. She is probably fortified and heartened by the consciousness that she is wearing a spick and span new school trock that is above reproach. Or she may have been cheered by looking over her entire outfit of clothes for school wear. The frock pictured is made of heavy cotton rep in beautiful flag blue. It is made with a panel and inverted plaits at the front, with the plaits repeated at the back, and fastens along one side of the front panels with but- ENTER THE AI Here is the new airplane coat. It made its bow and was introduced to an admiring and expectant world at the style show held recently at the Morrison hotel in Chicago. Here those who think up and work out the apparel wherewithal we shall be clothed, come together and present the results of their efforts to the merchants who are to pass judgment upon them. There was a great gathering of handsome new coats at the style show, but this airplane coat was the most interesting of them all. Are we really about to fly and to need a special kind of coat for doing it? Or, firmly convinced that we will never get our courage up to the flying point, are we going to have to forego this wonderful new achievement in coats? We are not. It may be a long time before we soar in an airship, but an airplane coat will shortly be among those present in many a smart wardrobe. This airplane coat was in taupe color and made of one of those soft, cozy-looking cloths, something like a thick velours, that have been christened with any number of fascinating but forgettable names. It is a straight- --- tons and buttonholes. White, adjustable collar and cuffs for it are in a lightweight pique or any other suitable white cotton or linen fabric. It is much like summer frocks except that the rep is a heavy fabric and the sleeves are long instead of elbow or three-quarter length. The pointed pockets and the wide belt with scalloped band across the front make the accessories a part of the neat effect of the design. Other materials—all those that have sufficient "body," as heavy linen, wool material, or canton crepe—might be used for a dress of this kind. It is the part of patriotism to use cotton or linen for school dresses or to remodel the discarded wool dresses of grownups into school frocks for children. Plenty of washable collars and cuffs in cotton or linen stuffs teach the little maid to be neat and to give attention to the details of her dress. Besides her practical and pretty dress the little maid pictured above is fortunate in her smoothly braided hair tied with crisp ribbon bows. RPLANE COAT line, ample, gracious garment; everything about it in generous proportions—the 'sleeves, pockets, girdle and buckle—even the buttons bespeaking the genius that designed it. Its most distinguishing feature is the square cape, lined with a silk brocade, that falls to the waistline at the back. This cape at the bottom is gathered into a band of fur and you would not suspect that by simply turning it up and fastening the band of fur about the head, by the very simple means of snap fasteners, the cape becomes a lovely turban with drapery falling about the head at each side. The sleeves are very long and finished with bands of fur like that on the cape. The fur may have been moleskin or some other short-haired pelt—flying squirrel ought to feel much at home on an airplane coat. The chances are that this coat will find itself protecting many a fair wearer who does her flying in a motorcar or on a pair of skates, but it is prophetic of a day that is surely coming when she will take to wings.
