LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PHYSICIANS PROTEST TO ADMINISTRATION NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ISSUES MANLY APPEAL FOR REMOVAL OF LIMITATIONS TO MILITARY SERVICE—DEMAND MORE COMMISSIONS. VOL. XXIV. PHYSICIANS TO ADMII NATIONAL MEDICAL ASSOCIATION FOR REMOVAL OF LIMITATION ICE—DEMAND MO Richmond, Va.—At the rectut convention of the National Medical Association, which convened here during the last week in August, the association discussed some phases of the administration's attitude towards the race in war work and voiced their opinion in a manly, conservative declaration which ought to bring desired relief. The declaration is as follows: We, the members of the National Medical Aesociation, in annual convention assembled with delegates from every state in the Union, representing five thousand medical men, feel that we owe it as a duty to ourselves, our race and our nation to make the following declarations: 1. As loyal and patriotic medical men, we have offered and are offering our services to the nation now in the throes of a great national crisis. About one hundred Negro physicians have already been called upon to render professional service in the Medical Reserve Corps. In addition to this about two hundred physicians have been commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps, but have not been assigned to active duty, notwithstanding the fact that the government is calling for more physicians. We have information that no more Negro physicians will be commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps, in accordance with the present policy of the war department. We appreciate the representation we already have, but we deplore the discrimination against our physicians whereby they are excluded from further commissions. Thousands of Negroes are being drafted into the army and we appeal to the war department to right the injustice of the present policy and give us a fair representation of commissioned officers. 2. Negro physicians who are now being drafted are being assigned as privates with no apparent chance of being transferred to the Medical Reserve Corps where they could render the professional service for which they have been trained. Under the new draft age, 18 to 45, at least 90 per cent of our physicians are subject to the draft and may be assigned as privates. We hereby petition the war department to remedy this condition of affairs so that our physicians can be transferred to the Medical Reserve Corps. 3. We heartily approve the decision of the war department to enlist Negro trained nurses in the Red Cross service. However, this privilege is limited to service in the base hospitals at home. The Negro trained nurse is loyal and true, and we appeal to the war department to reward her loyalty and devotion by giving her the opportunity to serve the brave black soldiers on the battlefields of Europe. 4. As close students of the war situation we realize that adequate provision has not been made for the training of a sufficient number of Negro officers to man the large number of drafted Negroes. In fact, the eight Negro regiments now being formed are manned by white officers. We give due praise for the recognition we have already received in the matter of officers in the army. At the same time we feel that it is only fair and just to us as a race, that if we are to be drafted as Negroes, and kept in separate regiments as Negroes, we should have our proportionate share of Negro officers assigned to such regiments. We feel that at this critical hour, loyalty should dominate race prejudice; and that the brave black soldier and the patriotic citizen should not be prodded in the back with the fangs of race prejudice while he is facing the brutal Hun in the defense of this country. We appeal to the war department to give us a fair proportion of Negro officers for our Negro regiments, to the end that loyalty and faithful service may be the test and not the color of our skin. 5. The Negro physicians constitute one of the most loyal group of Americans and one of the most potent factors in our racial development. We are using this great influence to promote patriotism for and confidence in our government. However, as we travel from place to place in our professional duties, and to propogate patriotism we are inconvenienced, humiliated and abused by the passenger car system known as the Jim Crow cars. It is out of keeping with the tenets of American government for which the world is not bathed in blood, that the government itself should operate such a passenger traffic system. It not only debases a patriotic class of citizens, but breeds discontent and deprives a citizen of a fair compensation for his money invested in a railroad ticket. We therefore appeal to the director-general of the railroads to abolish the Jim Crow car system as a war measure to the end that twelve millions of faithful citizens may be given justice for their devotion. 6. We give unstinted praise to our great president, Woodrow Wilson, for the great service he has rendered our race, the nation and mankind by his official denunciation of mobs and lynchings. We rejoice that public sentiment is being crystalized against lynching and we pray for the day when the majesty of the law will reign supreme. 7. We reaffirm our consecration and devotion to the American government and our high resolve to do all in our power to help achieve victory in the war with Germany. But in fighting "to make the world safe for democracy" we want to make America safe for ourselves. We have invested millions in War Stamps, Liberty Bonds, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A., and other kindred organizations; we are enduring the sacrifices incident to war without complaint; we weep when America weeps; we bleed when America bleeds; our brave soldiers are dying in the most cruel war ever waged by man; to keep "government of the people for the people" from perishing from the earth; and it seems to us that as a reward for this unparalleled devotion white America ought to be willing to lay aside its antagonistic race prejudice as a means to help win this war. 8. A committee of three is hereby DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1918 appointed to present the appeal to the secretary of war, and a similar committee to present the appeal to the director-general of the railroads. Signed—Executive Board—G. E. Cannon, chairman; E. T. Belsaw, secretary; A. M. Curtis, C. V. Roman, A. M. Brown, A. W. Williams, W. C. Gordon, J. C. McFall, John A Lester. THE NEGRO IN WAR WORK. Washington, D. C., Oct. 3.—War Department officials state that since the Officers' Reserve Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, out of which came 639 colored commissioned officers, and prior to the establishment of the training schools at Camps Taylor and Pike, 114 colored men were commissioned as officers in infantry, 11 in cavalry and 35 in Field artillery. One hundred and seven officers in infantry came out of the recent class at Camp Pike and 33 in Field artillery came out of Camp Taylor last month. The foregoing summary gave a total of 941 colored officers graduating from the Officers' Training Schools, and these figures are exclusive of those commissioned in the Medical Reserve Corps and in special branches of the service, both over here and abroad, and the count does not embrace the officers of the National Guard and those in the original regular army. A colored Woman's Volunteer Service League of Newark, N. J., has been organized as a branch of the mayor's committee of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, and has opened headquarters at 249 Mulberry street, where colored soldiers may be made "at home" and entertainment provided for them. A suitable building is to be secured for the establishment of a canteen for the benefit of the soldiers. Some of the officers of this Voluntary Service League are: President, Mrs. Amorel Cook; secretaries, Mrs. L. M. Holmes, Mrs. M. E. Burrell, Mrs. E. E. Hilton and Mrs. Emma Wormley, and treasurer, Mrs. Louise Hilton. Mr. J. E. Blanton, in co-operation with the War Deportment Commission on Training Camp Activities, is doing effective work in various camps in organizing "Liberty Choruses" among the colored soldiers and in instructing them in the technique of plantation melodies, folk song singing and the standard "spirituals." He is introducing with great success Natalie Curtis Burlin's newly conceived and most happily harmonized folk-song, "A Hymn of Freedom," which is set for singing the tune of "Ride On, Jesus, Ride On." New barracks are being built at Howard University and Atlanta University for the accommodation of the young men who are coming in from all sections of the country to take the military training along with their academic studies and for the vocational classes that will come from draftees who will be assigned there by local boards or army camp officials. The opportunities offered young colored men through the Committee on Education and Special Training are being seized with eagerness, and so rapidly has the demand for this type of education grown, and so potent are the results noted, that the government's policy of thus turning out specially-trained men for its manifold needs, is meeting with universal approval and is to be continued indefinitely. By next July, it is estimated that 20,000 young colored men will have received this training in some of its forms. BOB CHURCH TAKES HIS SEAT. Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 27.—When Robert R. Church, Jr., of Memphis, took his seat as a member of the Republican state committee last Tuesday, the hand of time turned a page in history. Mr. Church, who is leader of the political aspirations of the Race in the South, got an ovation that strong men only give to a strong man. The only member of the state committee, the public is informed on the game fight he has kept up for half a dozen years to gain recognition for the Race in the inner circles of the party. Mr. Church hails from the famous "Tenth," which embraces immortal Memphis and Shelby county, where only a man will be heard. He was certified to the state committee because the lillywhites were afraid to go to the mat with him. Founder of the famous Lincoln League, the only Republican organization south of Cincinnati, he threw his hat into the ring, and for spite and to show the world how little he cared about the lilies, white or not white, he threw his shoes in, too. Then he got over in the ring himself. The state committee welcomed him with open arms, treated him like the honest-to-God man he is, and then saddled a speech on him. Mr. Church is no orator—nothing like that—but he isn't "tongue skeered," and he waded in. After nis speech he was given a seat further toward the front. All the big guns took his hand—Littleton, Will Taylor, Lindsay, Hal Clements, the new chairman, and everybody else who could get to him. Rich, educated, intelligent, independent, son of a great house and name, let Bob Church saddles the burden of his people on his back and then looks for the riding path. If Mr. Hays—he of the Republicans—wants to do something to head off the "brethren" who are nosing for the Democratic pasture, he couldn't do better than to name Robert Church to membership on the national advisory committee. Everybody would applaud the act, except, possibly, the old mossbacks, has-beens and double-dealers. AFRICA CONTAINS ONE-EIGHTH OF WORLD'S POPULATION. No one who realizes what a large continent Africa is can doubt the important part it is destined to play in the future. Here are some suggestive facts: Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land surface is comprised within the continent of Africa and it is as far around the world. Every eighth person of the world's population lives in the dark continent. The blacks double their number every forty years and the whites every eighty. There are 843 languages and dialects spoken among the blacks of Africa, but only a few of them are written. One area in Africa unoccupied by missionaries is three times the size of Ohio. Throughout Africa there is one missionary for every 133,000 souls. AN UNUSUAL VERDICT IN NORTH CAROLINA. Durham, N. C., Sept. 6.—For the first time in the history of Durham county a verdict of not guilty was rendered in favor of a Colored man, Charlie Thompson, who was charged with the murder of Louis Heflin foreman of the Keith sawmills, in the eastern part of the county. Self-defense was the plea entered by the counsel for Thompson. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources The War College at Washington advises that there have been registered 207 white labor companies, 200 of which were sent overseas before their organization was entirely complete. This is positive evidence that these labor battalions are not confined exclusively to colored membership, as has been intimated in some quarters. Opportunities for the entrance of competent colored men in the veterinary corps are now open. Information relative to this branch of the service may be had by addressing Major Ray J. Stanclift, Assistant Director of the Veterinary Corps, Washington, D. C. Charles Harris, leader of the Commonwealth band of Baltimore, Md. has been appointed assistant band leader and will soon go to France with one of the colored organizations. After six months he will be made a second lieutenant. High officials in France are said to be exceedingly fond of the "jazz" music furnished by the colored bands. General Petain recently visited a sector in which there are American troops and "had the time of his life" listening to a colored band playing the popular "jazz" music, with some Negro dance stunts in keeping with the spirit of the melodies. He warmly congratulated the colored leader upon the excellence of the work of his organization and thanked him for the enjoyable entertainment that had been given him. Colored men, serving as privates, who have abilities along any special line, will find it to their advantage to acquaint their company commanders with the nature of their qualifications, and this may lead to congenial assignments in keeping with their mental or technical attainments. There is always something for a man to do who is of proved ability or special equipment. There are now forty-one colored chaplains in the United States army. It is expected that colored chaplains will be provided for service at Camp Lee at an early date. Colored members of the "Committee of 100," who are authorized to present the war aims of the government, are getting into touch with the State Councils of Defense in their respective localities and are thus lending themselves effectively to the programs marked out for the particular needs of the several states. Camp Grant, Ill., Sept. 27.—J. W. Brassfield and John Lockhart, two colored porters of Toronto, Can., were killed instantly, and Raymond White, another colored porter, was badly cut about the face and head at 5 o'clock Thursday morning when a Milwaukee coal train running at high speed crashed into the rear end of a Camp Grant troop train at the southern yard limits of Camp Grant. Two of the steel tourist sleepers in the troop train were telescoped. Railroad officials declare the wreck was caused by the freight engineer misreading his "caution" orders. NO. 50. Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 26.—The refusal of W. L. Bigelow to serve the Rev. T. Allen Harvey and the Rev. Mr. Holmes, both colored, at his restaurant at 3003 Thirty-fifth street, will cost him $50. Harvey brought suit, alleging discrimination against him because of his color, after Bigelow had declined to serve himself and companion. In court the ministers testified that Bigelow had been offensive in his demeanor in ordering them out of his place. Bigelow testified that the reason he did not serve them was that his stock of provisions was low and he was acting under orders of his son, owner of the business. The son is in the United States army. It was shown, however, that he had moved the location of the restaurant and that he had refused to serve other colored men. Justice Frank J. O'Brien, who tried the case, gave the Rev. Mr. Harvey judgment for $50 damages. This is said to be the first case of the kind ever tried in Sacramento. Seattle, Wash.—Listed on the Republican primary ticket for the honors of state senator is the name of Mrs. W. L. Presto, 1818 30th avenue, who has launched a vigorous fight for a seat in the senate. Mrs. Presto is the first woman of our race in this country to seek such honors. She lives in the wealthiest ward in the city and was indorsed by several public spirited organizations. Columbus, Ga., Sept. 21.—Julius Hart, colored, chauffeur for Dr. W. L. Bullard, has invented three aerial bombs which promise to net him a fortune. Two have already been accepted by the government, one of them at a price of $15,000, while the price for the other has not yet been announced. The bombs shoot in different directions, one fifty times before the chief explosion comes, another sixty times and a third 1,000 times before the final discharge. Hart, who is 25 years old, is a former resident of Union Point, Ga. He got some of his ideas from Lieut. Bentley Chappell, who told him of various ingenious bombs used on the battle front. AT 14 HE WINS A NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC PRIZE. In a recent photographic contest by a Rochester, N. Y., photographic manufacturing concern, the first prize of $500 was awarded to Arthur Winston of Appalachicola, Fla. The firm sent a representative to that city to deliver the prize money and found the winner to be a 14-year-old Negro schoolboy. He had practiced photography during his idle hours until he had become an expert in the use of the camera and the pictures he had sent to the prize competition, when judged with others sent from all portions of the United States, Canada, Mexico and far away Australia, proved to be the best. The pictures were pastoral scenes. The boy will use the prize money educating himself. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. ABOUT THE WAR In Belgium the Belgians and British have driven forward and taken Dixmude. The probable number of allied troops engaged on active fronts is over a million and a half. General Allenby in Palestine has surrounded Damascus and French cavalry is reported to be working its way up the Mediterranean sea coast toward Beyrout. British casualties reported for the week ending Sept. 28 follows: Officers killed or died of wounds, 432; men, 3,936; officers wounded or missing, 804; men, 19,757. Gouraud's French forces captured Fort Malmaison, key to Laon, and important position of Chavignon. Fall of Laon probably would mean retreat of Huns to German border. Between the Vesle and Aisne rivers the French continue to push back the Germans north of the Aisne, while in Champagne the French, operating in conjunction with the Americans, are steadily advancing northward. In Flanders the Belgians and British in the region of Dixmude to Armenières have further driven in their sharp wedge eastward, capturing important towns and cutting lines of communication necessary to the continued holding by the Germans of their submarine bases on the North sea. From Cambrai to St. Quentin, notwithstanding most violent reactions from the Germans, the British, Americans and French again have won heavily fortified positions of the enemy all along the front midway between St. Quentin and Cambrai. The remaining portions of the old Hindenburg line are slowly being demolished. French, British and American and Belgian troops in three days captured 40,000 prisoners and 300 guns, it is estimated at Paris. Since July 18 the allies have captured 200,000 prisoners, 3,000 guns, 20,000 machine guns and enormous quantities of material. This does not take into account the operations in Macedonia and Palestine. The town of St. Quentin, upon which the Germans had so firmly builted their hopes of proving an insuperable barrier to the allies, at last has been entered by the French, and seemingly the gateway is open to Marshal Foch for a swift advance eastward in his task of reclaiming northern France. Meanwhile the Germans and their allies on all the battle fronts have continued to play a losing game, and it is reported that the Turks, realizing the critical situation through successive defeats and the withdrawal of Bulgaria from the war, are sending out "peace feelers."

Vice Admiral von Mann has been designated to succeed Vice Admiral von Capelle as secretary of the navy, according to the Cologne Volks Zeitung. Von Mann now is at the head of the U-boat section. It was the fear of revolution at home and the failure of Germany and Austria to send him the military force he required that induced King Ferdinand of Bulgaria to turn to the entente for help, according to the American consul general at Sofia, Dominick Murphy, as quoted in a dispatch to the Paris Matin from Saloniki. Bulgaria has unconditionally surrendered. Allied nations are placed in control of her railroads and other means of transport and are free to use them for the development of future military operations. All strategic points are turned over to the allies for occupation and the Bulgar troops will be withdrawn from Greece and Serbia and disarmed. Emperor William in a message to the Fatherland party is quoted, in an Amsterdam dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company, as saying: "I have the confident hope that the whole German people in these most serious times will resolutely gather around me and give their blood and wealth until the last breath for the defense of the fatherland."

There is a spirit of romance about the air service that appeals to the average American, and at this stage of the war nothing is more important. The planes have been called "the eyes of the army," but now they will be more, for they will carry the war into Germany. Tons of high explosives dropped from the skies are advance notices that the war is moving toward Berlin. Not everyone can qualify for tb s air service, but with the coming of the Fourth Liberty Loan everyone can have a direct hand in its activities. The purchase of one $50 bond, for instance, will pay for the ammunition used in a sharp 2-minute fight with a Hun plane and, once in action, two minutes usually decides the battle one way or the other. It will buy one high explosive bomb, dropped on some Boche fortification, or pay for the gasoline that will carry the bombing plane and its fighting protectors far into Germany. The deadly machine gun that is geared to shoot between the blades of the propeller can be bought with the proceeds of four $50 bonds. A day's fighting for an American pilot usually means that an observation plane, signalling back hits and ranges to batteries in the rear, can continue its invaluable work. Without the fast fighter to protect him the slower flying observation plane would be an easy prey for the Hun. The American who buys one $500 bond pays for that day's fighting. ressing Parlors HEALP AND HAIR TREATMENT WING, TOILET ARTICLES efficiency" E. A. Brooks PHONE YORK 5997W W. H. PRITCHETTE Mgr.

Every day the great principles for which we are fighting take fresh hold upon our thought and purpose and make it clearer what the end must be and what we must do to achieve it. We now know more certainly than we ever knew before why free men brought the great nation and government we love into existence, because it grows clearer and clearer what supreme service it is to be America's privilege to render to the world. The anniversary of the discovery of America must therefore have for us in this fateful year a peculiar and thrilling significance. We should make it a day of ardent rededication to the ideals upon which our government is founded and by which our present heroic tasks are inspired. Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do appoint Saturday, the 12th day of October, 1918, as Liberty day. On that day I request the citizens of every community of the United States, city, town and countryside, to celebrate the discovery of our country in order to stimulate a generous response to the Fourth Liberty Loan. Commemorative addresses, pageants, harvest home festivals, or other demonstrations should be arranged for in every neighborhood under the general direction of the secretary of the treasury and the immediate direction of the Liberty Loan committee, in co-operation with the United States bureau of education and the public school authorities. Let the people's response to the Fourth Liberty Loan express the measure of their devotion to the ideals which have guided the country from its discovery until now, and of their determined purpose to defend them and guarantee their triumph. For the purpose of participating in Liberty day celebrations all employees of the federal government throughout the country whose services can be spared may be excused on Saturday, the 12th day of October, for the entire day. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

WOODROW WILSON. By the President: GERMAN'S VAIN EFFORT TO BELITTLE AMERICAN POWER. Poster Widely Circulated in Kaiser's Empire, and Reproduced in This Country, Shows Morale of Huns Is Being Shattered. A poster recently issued by the imperial German government in an effort to belittle the participation of America in the war and thus strengthen the morale of her people form the text of one of the most striking pieces of literature that the bureau of publicity of the war loan organization has prepared for use in the forthcoming Fourth Liberty loan. The title of the poster is "Can America's Entry Make a decision of the War?" Integral sections of it attempt to convince the reader that America's army cannot take the place of Russia's withdrawn forces; that the United States cannot build enough ships to have any effect on the result of the war, and that the U-boats will destroy virtually all the ships that America can build when those ships attempt to cross the ocean. A French poster also is reproduced in the German poster and the meaning so twisted as to make it appear that France is very badly in need of food. Two millions of the booklets have been printed and will be distributed in various parts of the country, particularly in theaters where Liberty Loan speakers take the book as their text. The enormous figure of a Russian soldier is the first object on the poster to strike the eye. He stands with hands in his overcoat pockets, indicative of the fact that he is through fighting. Beside him stands Uncle Sam holding a small figure, designed to represent the United States army, in his right hand. In his left hand Uncle Sam carries a banner which bears the inscription, "America threatens to send transport of one-half million men. But it cannot ship them." Below Uncle Sam are these words: "It is impossible for America to train and fit out in time for the European war a suitable and sufficiently large army and provide it with the necessary reinforcements." The catchline of this section of the poster is "Russia's army of millions could not down Germany," and on the skirt of the Russian soldier's overcoat are printed these words: "Russia used up altogether fifteen million men in vain." COUNTRY CALLS ON EACH CITIZEN TO DO HIS PART. Up to Every One to Determine Just How Much to Set Aside for Fourth Liberty Loan. We have learned: 1. That buying Liberty Bonds is a good investment. 2. That the money the government gets from them is absolutely neces- sary. 3. That the money is being well spent. On the opposite side of the poster is this catchline: "England's sea power and England's merchant marine have not decided the war!" Below this line appears a huge figure intended to represent the English shipping facilities at the outbreak of the war, which bears these words: "England went into the war with twenty million gross registered tons of freight space." Alongside this figure of a ship is a drawing designed to show Uncle Sam carrying the United States tonnage under his left arm. The caption above Uncle Sam reads: "Can America replace England on sea?" On the ship which Uncle Sam carries is printed this inscription: "Three million gross registry tons," and below that is another inscription which says: "At the beginning of the war America had only a tonnage of three million gross registered tons." Commenting on these statements, the poster further declares "America cannot increase her gross registered tons for 1918 by more than two to two and a half million tons. Our U-boats sink twice as quickly as England and America can build!" The answer of the publicity bureau to the two sections of the poster referring to the transportation of men and the building of ships follows: "At the moment the bulletin boards of Germany soffed the possibility of America sending a force to France, there were already more than a million fighting men overseas, and transports, walled about by the American navy defying the cowardly submarines, were bearing every month hundreds of thousands more. The gauge is set and the summer of 1919 will see 4,000,000 fighting American men in France. Nor will there be a lack of ships to transport and sustain them. The Liberty Bond buyer is fast giving to America a merchant marine that will be the peer of any in the world. America launched in July alone 635,011 tons, Losses to allied and neutral shipping combined, from every cause, for the last six months, amounted to 2,089,393 tons. "The distance from New York to England, the Boche points out," comments the bureau of publicity publication, "is two hundred times greater than that from England to France, from which he spells 'Opportunity for the German U-boats.' Pitiful is this boast in face of the facts. Instead of the U-boat being an unconquerable engine of war, as the Hun confidently expected, it has become the slinking foe of fishing smacks and other isolated craft. The vast army of Liberty Bond buyers, thirty millions strong, has built an unbroken bridge over the Atlantic ocean into the heart of the enemy's strongholds. Across this bridge there are streaming our millions of fighting men, as good as the world has ever known, munitions and equipment that have been wrought by those back home, whose determination is that the American fighting man shall lack nothing that he needs." As a back-handed slap at the French, the German propagandists have reproduced a French poster which pleads with French people to eat less in order that the United States may send over more man power. The French poster pointed out that if every person in France would save a hundred grams of food a day that the American reinforcements could be increased a division a month. The French catchline on this poster was "Does France want wheat or men?" and the German poster remarks "Also the allies are now beginning to have their doubts." In a further effort to convince the German people that it will be impossible for the United States to transport troops to France, the German section of the poster says that ten tons of freight space are required for every soldier in crossing the water. The truth is that a soldier requires less than one-half this amount of space. Summing up all the falsehoods which the German poster contains, the booklet says: "The War Lord of Germany may have the futtle hope that his people will devour in the place of food, such statements as the foregoing. Falsehoods, however, are poor substitutes and are likely to aggravate rather than appease when the deluded people of Germany learn that every requirement of the American soldier will be met by his patriotic and unqualified support back home. If a single soldier required ten tons of freight space, it would be given him. But the truth is he requires less than one-half of that. "As for Germany's statement that even if the United States built from two and a half million gross registered tons in 1918, it would not mean deliverance for the allies, no further comment is needed than that by July of this year the 2,000,000-ton mark has been passed. If further refutation of the Hun boast of his U-boat prowess were needed, it might be stated that less than 500 American soldiers have lost their lives in the present war as a result of U-boat attacks." Closing the booklet is this striking quotation from Secretary McAdoo: "The Fourth Liberty loan is the barrage which will precede the victorious thust of our army." Now that the fourth loan is upon us we must fasten our minds upon a further fact: The loan will not be a complete success unless every individual bases his subscription on a budget. That is to say, he must know just how much he is getting and just how much he is spending, and he must subscribe with this knowledge in mind. The day for guesswork has gone. The country is stripping for action. We must know what we can do. Then we shall be surprised at the outcome.

LABOR BRINGS ITS OWN REWARD. It is gratifying to be able to publish that success has at last crowned the efforts of Chairman Rush L. Holland of the State Central Committee and Chairman William A. Dollison of the County Central Committee in uniting the various minor organizations of the Republican party into such an impregnable whole, that concerted action must render the assaults of our Democratic opponents ineffective and place us on the side of success in this most important event that is practically at our doors. The striving for superior recognition, or first place in honor rank, or particular credit, is a disease common to many organized bodies, and in working separately, while some good may be accomplished, yet that greater success is lost by the spirit of selfishness which generally stands out conspicuously in their deliberations of the cause they represent. These two Republican leaders, having given up a great portion of their time and energy to the solution of such problems and the adjusting of these matters, begin to feel themselves rewarded in the results that are being presented, and after the relief from the uniting of all the associations on the side of the whites, are basking in a purified atmosphere among the blacks by the combination of their clubs with a permanent harmonious feature permeating them. Pulling as we are at the same time, with our oars making the same stroke, we can see victory ahead, and must achieve it through the influence of the master minds at the Republican state and county headquarters, who are bent on nothing less than success to the Grand Old Party of which we are the component parts. WOMAN SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT DEFEATED BY PRESIDENT WILSON'S OWN PARTY. WE have tried in all sincerity to prove from time to time to our side of the American population that a Democrat, a believer in the platform of the Democratic party, a strict adherent to sectionalism, will always show his real colors when cornered, and whenever he gives his "aye" for policy's sake or to temporarily adjust matters, he has his "no" with much emphasis to defeat the cause of larger human liberty which would compel him to accept the fact of "the whole being greater than its part." This ignoring of the President's urgent appeal to the Senate to pass the bill ENFRANCHISING AMERICAN WOMEN will surely go very far in the intelligent discussion of politics between now and November election, and besides the disastrous effect it will have on the Democratic party, a consignment to Hades will be given to insignificant Negro Democratic agencies alike the little newspaper in Denver, which "shines" in its blackness of deception to its own people by urging the support and return of "good Democrats" (as it delights to call them) to responsible representative positions in state and nation, and "stars" in its subtlety of presenting the "God bless him" characters when the coin is flowing into its coffers. The result of the voting in the Senate, 53 for woman suffrage and 31 against, come within three votes of the two-thirds necessary to carry and when the fact stares us in the face that the Democrats are in the majority in the Senate, and twenty-one of the thirty-one Senators voting against the measure were leading Democrats, being at the head of all the committees of the Congress, we cannot but conclude that the Susan B. Anthony nation-wide woman's suffrage amendment was defeated by President Wilson's own party—THE DEMOCRATS. This terrible rebuke to the head of the nation to the great leader of the American nation who as Democrats delight to honor is being placed in the order of the immortals, Washington and Lincoln—this rebuke begins to determine the division in party lines, and the disintegration of the Democrats who in their stubbornness of refusing to support their leader at a time when their vaunted greatness should make them think the welfare of the masses instead of the very limited class, show without a doubt their incompetency to represent the people in times of stress. The following from the President in his personal address last Monday, so convincing, so vitally important as a war measure, should be sufficient to warrant more than passing attention and result in an action equal to the lower house, but with characters of the RACE-HATE quality, as Williams of Mississippi, who still harps on dividing the nation by his infernal unAmerican amendment to the measure, LIMITING SUFFRAGE TO THE WHITE RACE and getting the solid support of Southern Senators, we can see a repetition of history—the fall of monarchs, tyrants, oppressors and even political parties of today, where the narrow spirit of section and class must give way to public pressure that will wipe them from existence for this and all other time to come. Said the President: "I do not speak by conjecture. It is not alone the voices of statesman and of newspapers that reach me and the voices of foolish and intemperate agitators do not reach me at all. Through many, many channels I have been made aware that the plain, struggling, work-a-day folk are thinking upon whom the chief terror and suffering of this tragic war falls. They are looking to the great, powerful democracy of the West to lead them to the new day for which they have so long waited; and they think in their logical simplicity that democracy means that women shall play their part in affairs alongside men and upon an equal footing with them. If we reject measures like this in ignorant defiance of what a new age has brought forth, of what they have seen and we have not, THEY WILL CEASE TO BELIEVE IN US; THEY WILL CEASE TO FOLLOW OR TRUST US. We shall need women in our vision of affairs as we have never needed them before, the sympathy and insight and clear moral instinct of the women of the world. The problems of that time will strike to the roots of many things we have not hitherto questioned and I, for one, believe that our safety in those questioning days, as well as our comprehension of matters that touch society to the quick, will depend upon the direct and authoritative participation of women in our counsels. We shall need their moral sense to preserve what is right and fine and worthy in our system of life as well as to discover just what it is that ought to be purified and reformed. Without their counselings we shall be only half wise." With all this stirring appeal which fell on deaf ears the Democratic party tells us to help to return Democrats to the Senate and Congressmen also. Fellow, Republicans! You are if never-before fully cognizant of the present state of affairs in our state and nation. Let us thrust aside everything that will interfere with special interest in our campaign this fall, and return a Republican Senate and Congress so that we can have a representation meriting AMERICAN CONFIDENCE AND HOPE. The women cannot and must not lose heart and the COLORADO STATESMAN can only add—to the women of Colorado, strengthen our bands to return competent and true men who will give the Suffrage Bill their entire support and restore Republican executive ability which has proven for years the only source able to govern successfully this country and people. HUMAN SIDE OF OUR GREAT ARMY Chaplain Is the Man Who Gets Nearest to the Boys. OVER THE TOP WITH TROOPS Besides Ministering to the Spiritual Needs of Soldiers, the Chap- lain's Place Is Wherever His Men Are. (From the Committee on Public Informa tion, Washington, D. C.) I consider my job the most interesting in the army. No officer has more rich and varied opportunities for service than a chaplain. No officer's calendar presents greater contrasts. It is a chaplain's duty to oversee the dispositions of his mobile flock, as well as their souls, minds, amusements, morals, correspondence, and reading matter. He must go from the boxing ring to the hospital, and from the theater to the guard house. He is in jail oftener than any other man in the service. But, if his work is well done, he is there none too often to suit the men. Last January General Pershing sent a cablegram to the secretary of war asking that the number of chaplains in the army be increased for the war to an average of three per regiment. His cablegram reads, in part, as follows: "... I believe the personnel of the army has never been equaled, and the conduct has been excellent, but to overcome entirely the conditions found here requires fortitude born of great courage and lofty spiritual ideas. Counsel myself responsible for the welfare of our men in every respect, it is my desire to surround them with the best influence possible. In the fulfillment of this solemn trust, it seems to request the aid of the churches from home. . . ." The chaplain is a commissioned officer, starting with the rank of first lieutenant. He is always an ordained clergyman who has had practical experience as a pastor before entering the army. The different religious bodies are represented in the chaplaincies in numbers proportionate to the number of adherents of the different denominations in the country at large. Each is privileged to conduct religious services in the manner prescribed by his own church. But, when that has been said, I have expressed all the denominationalism that there is in the army. In this as in many other respects the army has set an example to civil life, for it has learned the needlessness and waste of many sectarian lines in the face of human need. Some people have the idea that all a chaplain has to do is conduct religious services. At other times they think of him as enjoying a life of complete relaxation. The utter mistakenness of this notion becomes evident after the briefest survey of the tasks assigned to a chaplain. For one thing, he is the information bureau for his regiment. If a soldier wants to know a street address, a telephone number, or a train schedule, he goes to the chaplain's office. If he wants right information on current topics he calls on the chaplain and asks him if he has any late magazines or newspapers dealing with the question. On some of the battleships the naval chaplains put out periodicals for the men. Some of these magazines are really excellent productions. Then, there is the whole problem of education. If there are men in the regiment lacking in necessary education the chaplain is expected to organize classes in the common branches, so that they may improve themselves along those lines, make themselves more useful to their country, and brighten their own futures. The chaplain frequently gives lectures to recruits on discipline and the relation of moral cleanliness to health and efficiency. He keeps a record of all the men as they come into the service, including their name, home address, next of kin, education, and other items. The chaplain's day includes plenty of humorous incidents. A fellow chaplain, now on duty at one of the base hospitals, tells an amusing story of talking to an Italian who had been recently injured. The man listened attentively, his great brown eyes fixed on the chaplain's face. The padre did not know that the injured man was an Italian and spoke little English, though a soldier in the United States army. After suggesting a little prayer the chaplain added carelessly: "It makes no great difference between us, but . . . what is your creed?" Religion in HIs Foot. The injured man still looked earnestly upward, and the chaplain repeated his question. The soldier caught only the questioning intonation and flashed a brilliant smile. "Oh, eet ees in my foot!" he said, in an explanatory tone, and immediately putted back the covers of the bed, displaying a much bandaged limb. The chaplain must be a good mixer. This is especially necessary because he is much concerned with the recreational life of the men. He must be capable of participating actively in many sports and of organizing such games as will appeal to the tastes of all the men. The social life of the regiment is one of his responsibilities. The movies, the boxing matches, the volleyball games, and the wrestling bouts are all within his province. He writes letters, too, for men who are sick or wounded. In case of difficulty or death it is the chaplain who must impart the message to the loved ones who gave the man into service. Because he has access to every one, the chaplain becomes involved in many delicate problems of conduct. I once received a rather pathetic note from the mother of one of the men, asking whether her boy was still at the post. I happened to know that he was in the guardhouse. I went to see the boy and asked him why he had not written home. The whole story came out immediately. During his Christmas furlough the soldier had married a girl whom his mother did not approve of, and, in a fit of temper, his mother had said she wished never to see or hear from him again. Before the conversation was over the chaplain had persuaded the boy to write: Thus the difficulty was smoothed over, and a difficulty smoothed over is a chaplain's duty done. Go Over the Top. So far I have said nothing about the work of the chaplains in the field, which, for the present war, means chiefly "over there." My own experience has not yet extended thither, but I can answer briefly some of the questions that people ask. The query is often put to me: "Do chaplains go into the front-line trenches?" The answer is, yes, of course. Frequently they go over the top with the men. A chaplain's place is wherever his men are, and when they are in danger he is, too. A chaplain who is not willing, if necessary, to lose his life in the performance of his duties is false to his trust and does not deserve his commission. As a matter of fact, many have been killed. The mortality among chaplains on the western front has been as high as one a day, which is a high percentage when the small total number of chaplains is considered. The chaplain has this additional test of nerve—that he is obliged to go unarmed. By the terms of the Geneva convention, chaplains are not permitted to carry arms. Of course, in return for this, the person of the chaplain is supposed to be sacrosanct. But everyone knows that to the Hun the safeguards of the Geneva convention are as obsolete as the Sermon on the Mount is to them. A Brother to the Wounded. The hospital is one of the principal fields for the chaplain's endeavors. As one chaplain puts it: "In the hospital, they can't get away from me." But there is a more powerful element in the chaplain's success among the sick boys. As soon as they feel helpless, they reach out involuntarily for a friendly hand, and it is rare for a man in a hospital not to be glad to see the chaplain. The most impressive story I have heard was given to me by a friend of mine who is a chaplain. He had become greatly interested in one of the men who was seriously ill and not expected to live. Every time the chaplain came to see him, the fellow would ask him to "say just one little prayer, won't you?" Toward the end they thought that he would be delirious. But he was not. The chaplain came, and the soldier whispered his customary request for a prayer. The chaplain prayed. When he had finished he asked: "Did you understand me then, Gray?" "Yes," the dying man whispered. "I understood. I can understand anything about God. It's wonderful." Those were his last words. The army has learned that men may worship God in different ways, but they all need the same kind of brothering. So the army chaplain looks after all his boys alike, whether they have a faith or whether they have none. He knows, better than any other officer, that Uncle Sam's boys are not mechanisms, but men. Because he comes so close in touch with the human side of the army he is in a position to stimulate that morale without which fighting men are powerless to win battles. Beginnings of Great Things. On July 26, 1847, the first electric magnetic locomotive was exhibited and operated. The exhibition was made in the town hall of Dover, N. H., by its inventor, Moses G. Farmer. It carried several people, who were doubtless the first passengers transported on a railroad by electricity in the United States. Farmer lectured upon the invention at various Eastern points, after which he opened a telegraph office, where he devised the well-nown fire alarm apparatus. As early as 1850 Professor Farmer predicted, among other results, the talking exactly as we talk today by telephone, and he also saw the feasibility of electric traction by means of the storage battery and trolley system now in use. He also invented a flying machine, but his sudden death prevented his bringing it before the world. "Duration of War." The phrase "duration of the war" is more poked about in England than in America. "You will realize how philosophical we are become out here," an officer writes to the Evening News, "when I tell you that we have just been invited to enter a team for a divisional football competition—to be an annual event. "My men seem very keen, especially as a cup is offered. I suggested, quite gravely of course, that winning three times would mean 'keeps,' and they cordially acquiesced." Young Men of United States Urged to Enlist in Student Training Corps By Dr. P. P. CLAXTON, United States Commissioner of Education "How can I render the most valuable service to my country during the period of the war?" Every young man over eighteen is asking himself this question. PETER H. The war department has just offered a new answer to the question. It says: "Enter college if you are fitted to do so or return to college if you are already enrolled, and enlist in the student army training corps." By enlisting in the student army training corps you will become a member of the United States army. You will receive a uniform and be given military drill under officers detailed by the war department. During the early part of your course you will receive ten hours of military instruction a week, six of which will be academic work, for which military credit is given, such as mathematics, English, foreign languages, history, science, etc. You will be carefully rated both by the college authorities and by the military officers, who will help you to discover a special line of military service for which you have the greatest capacity and preference. Later in your course you will have an opportunity to specialize in a branch of training designed to fit you to become an officer of field artillery, medical or engineer officer, an expert in some technical or scientific service, and so on. On reaching the age of twenty-one you must register with your local board. You may remain in college until your call is reached under the selective service law. At that time it will be decided whether you will be called immediately to active service or whether you should remain in college to complete the course you are pursuing. The decision will depend, upon the needs of the service and upon your achievements in your military work and in your studies as determined by the military officers at the college and by the college authorities. During the summer you will have an opportunity to attend a summer camp for intensive military training. Your traveling expenses to and from camp will be paid and you will be on active duty under pay and subsistence by the war department. As a member of the student army training corps you will be subject to call to active duty at any time in case of emergency. If you desire to enter active service before completing your college training, transfer to active duty may be arranged through military channels with the consent of the military officers at the college and of the college officials. It will be the policy of the government, however, to allow you to remain in college until you reach the age of twenty-one, or until you complete your course. Previously there have been two methods by which a young man might enter the national service. He might either enlist voluntarily as a private in the army or a seaman in the navy, or he might remain in civilian life until called into active service at the age of twenty-one under the selective service law. The student army training corps represents a third method of entering the service which has special advantages for young men fitted to go to college. For further information concerning the student army training corps apply to any college which you desire to attend or to the committee on education and special training, war department, Washington, D. C. Yankees Feel the Ties of Kinship With Canadians Drawing Closer By G. BONNER Over the line Canadians and Americans fraternize as neighbors do over the back fence. Sometimes they cross from one side and settle on the other. The stocky Canuck from Quebec province moves into Maine and raises his log house among the pines; ranchers from Montana and Dakota go northward to till the rich plains of Alberta and Manitoba. They intermarry and the children are Canadians or Americans—they might just as well be one as the other. For there is no lurking suspicion, no veiled distrust between us and our brother of the north. We are of the same race, live by the same ideals. Of all our national relationships our closest is with him. He is not only our nearest neighbor but he is our nearest of kin. There have been times when we envied him the riches of his vast empire yet to come, his well-administered laws, his thrifty competence where we have been careless and slovenly, his sturdy honesty. Canadians rose from desk and bench, locked the shop and closed the ledger, left the plow in the furrow and the pick in the mine breast, not alone to help England in her need but to preserve the creed that their race has lived by since John met the barons at Runnymede. What our brother of the north did in France and Flanders is now matter of history. Writ larger than the Plains of Abraham are Ypres and Loos, from this time forth names of heroic invocation. American Boys "Over There" are Well Provided for in All Details By FRANCIS ROGERS, of the Vigilantes Parents and friends need not fear that the bodily wants of their boys in France are not well provided for. Many times I have shared the soldier's mess and have never failed to get a good meal. There are no frills about the service, naturally, but all the essentials are there—wholesome food, ample in quantity and well cooked. Hospital conditions are vastly improved. Now a sick or wounded boy can count on being treated in a well-equipped hospital by the best American surgeons and nurses. I chanced to be at an "evacuation hospital" somewhere in France the day Archie Roosevelt was brought to it with a leg and an arm badly smashed. So well prepared was the hospital to meet just such an emergency that his temperature never rose a single degree above normal. The simple, regular, outdoor life has done wonders for the health of the boys. Their chests broaden, their cheeks grow ruddy, their muscles harden, their eyes brighten, they gain in weight. "Does my boy look very fat?" asked the mother of a boy I had seen a few weeks before. "He writes he has put on twenty pounds." "No," I answered, "he wasn't fat at all. He is now just the fine, big, husky lad that nature always intended him to be." THE WORLD IS IN A STORM. THE WORLD IS IN A STORM. THE WORLD IS IN A STORM. Pouring Forth Our Earthly Treasures For Treasures That Are Godly. WEALTH and treasure are material estate. They are the heritage of diligence and good fortune. But life, liberty and happiness are above all these. They are the possessions of Heaven which God alone bestows, and only He may rightfully take away. So it is fitting and natural, when a sanguinary power, conceived in cunning and nurtured upon blind submissiveness, challenges the very right of God, that the world should turn in wrath against such blasphemy. Wealth and treasure are this land's possessions. We are proud to think that this is largely so because the divine principles upon which life, liberty and happiness are predicated have been in diligence and good fortune our earnest precepts. But as this great estate was in the making, we had no dreams of a day when we might pour forth this wealth and treasure for treasures far more godly. It is today our privilege to do this, without reserve, unstintingly. And it is our privilege to see this wealth and treasure go forth hallowed by its own great purpose for it expends itself not for selfish gain nor mean advantage, but that men throughout the world may hereinafter dwell in peace, secure in the knowledge that the life, liberty and happiness given them by God, may not, at the whim of some perverted human agency, be ruthlessly snatched away. And so as you inscribe your name upon a subscription blank for Liberty Bonds to-day, your hand pours forth the treasure of the land, which returning will bring back with it fourfold the treasures of Heaven, life, liberty and happiness, and the gratitude of men saved from servitude and degradation.

GUNS TO SILENCE DRIVE VITAL ISSUES OF WAR STATED BY EXECUTIVE IN FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN SPEECH. Western Newspaper Union News Service. PEACE TERMS IN BRIEF. First, the impartial justice meted out must involve no discrimination between those to whom we wish to be just and those to whom we do not be just. It must be justice that plays no favorites and knows no standard but the equal rights of the several peoples con- cerned. Second, no special or separate in- terest of any single nation or any good or bad nation. It must be basis of any part of the settlement which is not consistent with the common interests of all. Third, there can be no leagues or alliances or special covenants and understandings with the general and common family of the league of nations. Fourth, and more specifically, there can be no special, selfish economic combinations within the country, but a form of economic boycott or exclusion except as the power of economic penalty by exclusion from international trade wrested in the league of nations itself as a means of discipline and control. Fifth, all international agreements and treaties of every kind must be made known in their entirety to the rest of the world. New York.—The price of peace will be impartial justice to all nations, the instrumentality indispensable to secure it is a league of nations formed not before or after, but at the peace conference; and Germany as a member "will have to redeem her character not by what happens at the peace table, but by what follows." This was President Wilson's answer, given Friday night before an audience of Fourth Liberty Loan workers here to the recent peace talk from the central powers, although he did not refer specifically to the utterances of enemy leaders. Shortly before the President started speaking, news of the further successes of American, British and French offensives on the western front reached the meeting at the Metropolitan opera house, and this gave dramatic point to Mr. Wilson's peroration—that "peace drives can be effectively neutralized and silenced only by showing that every victory of the nations associated against Germany brings the nations nearer the sort of peace which will bring security and reassurance to all peoples and make the recurrence of another such struggle of pitiless forces and bloodshed forever impossible, and that nothing else can." "We are all agreed," he said, "that there can be no peace obtained by any kind of bargain or compromise with the governments of the central empires, because we have dealt with them already and have seen them deal with other governments that were parties to this struggle, at Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest. They have convinced us that they are without honor and do not intend justice. They observe no covenants, accept no principle but force and their own interest." Five thousand persons who filled the Metropolitan opera house to capacity heard the President. Five minutes before his arrival a guard of soldiers, sailors and marines seated at the rear of the platform were suddenly ordered to attention. They arose with a smart click of rifles, the national colors were advanced, and the great audience became silent until the President, without other warning of his coming, walked on the stage, escorted by Benjamin Strong, governor of the federal reserve bank of New York. Then a tremendous burst of cheering broke loose, which caused the President, after taking his seat, to rise three times in acknowledgement. Mr. Strong read to the audience a summary of late reports showing American troops' advances during the day in France. "Our boys in France do not learn readily when to stop fighting," he added. "That is the spirit in which we must raise the Liberty Loan." Cheers greeted the news of the American successes, particularly when Mr. Strong said the Yankee troops in their drive had reclaimed 100 square miles of territory for France. D'Annunzlo Flies Across the Alps. Paris.—Gabrielle d'Annunzlo, the Italian author-aviator, arrived in Paris in an airplane, flying from Italy across the Alps. Washington, Sept. 28.—Spanish influenza continued to spread in army camps, 6,824 new cases having beer reported to the office of the surgeon general of the army during the twenty-four-hour period. This was an increase of 685 over the new cases reported and brought the total for all camps to 42,367. Pneumonia cases showed a slight decrease, 717 new cases being reported Friday, compared with 723 Thursday. Deaths Friday were 170. mostly from pneumonia.

MORE SAI.ADS.

ALAD which is a little different is the following: Cut small ripe tomatoes which have been peeled into quarters without separating them from the stem end, so the tomato lies on the salad plate like an open flower. Lettuce may be used or not for a nest for the tomato. Heap over the tomato finely chopped apple and celery which has been well mixed with a highly seasoned dressing. Garnish with shredded bits of green pepper. Golden Chestnut Salad. — Shell, blanch and boil until tender one pint of chestnuts. Drain and dust and set aside to cool. Arrange in a salad bowl on a bed of water cress or of lettuce and sift over them lightly the yolks of two hard-cooked eggs. Hold the egg yolks in a sieve over the nuts and rub them through. Serve with a good flavored dressing. Tomato Salad.—Scald, peel and chill six firm tomatoes and cut in halves. To one cupful of whipped cream add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and the same of grated fresh horseradish, season with paprika, mustard and salt. Place the tomatoes on lettuce, heap on the dressing and sprinkle with a bit of chopped red pepper. Bacon Salad.—Cut six slices of tender bacon into squares and fry until brown; drain on paper; heat six tablespoonfuls of this fat and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar; beat the yolks of three eggs and one-fourth of a teaspoonful each of paprika and mustard and cook in the fat until thick. When the dressing is cold, toss the bacon over crisp head lettuce and mix with the dressing. Brussels Sprouts Salad.—Boll a quart of brussels sprouts with a piece of ham or salt pork. When cool cut each head into halves, arrange on cress or lettuce, sprinkle with a little chopped ham and serve with a good salad dressing. Sweetbreads and Celery Salad.—Mix equal parts of cooked sweetbreads, diced, with celery, also diced. Add a nicely seasoned dressing and serve. The dressing and seasoning is the important point in a good salad. All vegetables served fresh should be crisp and free from moisture. Nuts of various kinds add to the flavor and nutritive value of any salad. Corn oil used with the yolk of egg and vinegar as mayonnaise makes a most tasty salad. Within the husk the harvest lies enfolded. The chaff lies dead; But the sweet life the summer months have molded. Becomes our bread. THE CANNING OF MEATS.

Meat may be canned as successfully as any other food, if the proper care is taken to be sure that the cans are perfectly sealed and sterile. Those who live near lakes or streams where fish abound will find canned fish a most savory dish to serve on short notice. The housewife who has her fruit cellar well stocked with canned fish, meat, soups as well as vegetables, has no fears when an unexpected onslaught of company drops in on her on a busy day, for she knows but a few minutes are needed to prepare a good meal from the good things canned. Tough meats may be cooked a half hour before packing. Fish should be soaked in salt brine a half hour before packing. All meats as well as fish should be in perfect condition for canning. Chicken fried, canned in the late fall, preserves the meat at the most delicious stage and we avoid the expense of carrying them over the winter. Game and fish may be canned to serve at a time when both are out of season. Canned Chicken.—A fowl weighing two pounds when dressed should make a pint of solid meat and a pint of stock thick enough to jelly. A four-pound fowl will fill a quart can. Sear the meat in hot fat, or in boiling water, then remove the bones and pack, filling the space with the stock which has been saved from the cooking of the meat and bones. Add one teaspoonful of salt to a quart of meat with other seasonings, if liked. Seal the jar then turn back one quarter way round if a Mason jar; if one with a clamp, leave the lower one unadjusted. Place in the boiler and boil with water to cover three hours. Take out, seal tightly at once. The meat may be packed uncooked, but it does not have as good a flavor as when browned and lightly seasoned while cooking. Nellie Maxwell AUSTRIAN NAVAL BASE DESTROYED FIVE-MILE WEDGE DRIVEN IN CAMBRAI FRONT AS ARMEN- TIERES FALLS. HUNS FLEE FROM LENS YANKS, BRITISH AND FRENCH BREAK HINDENBURG LINE AND CROSS THE SOMME. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Rome, Oct. 4.—American, British and Italian warships have destroyed the Austrian naval base at Durazzo and the warships anchored there, according to an announcement made by Premier Orlando. The attack on Durazzo occurred at noon on Wednesday, when Italian and British cruisers, protected by Italian and allied torpedo boats and American submarines, succeeded in making their way through mine fields and, avoiding attacks by submarines, got into Durazzo harbor. British and Italian airplanes cooperated in the work. (Durazzo is a seaport in Albania fifty-three miles south of Scutari. It is situated on a peninsula in the Adriatic sea. For some time past it has been a base for Austrian operations in Albania.) Lens, the heart of the great coal region in northern France, and Armentieres, almost equally important as a manufacturing center, have been evacuated by the Germans; the German fortified positions between Cambrai and St. Quentin have been definitely smashed and the Austro-Hungarians in Albania, forsaken by the Bulgarians, their former allies, are in full retreat, northward from the Adriatic sea to Lake Ochrida. Of the reconquering of invaded Belgium and the progress of the French and Franco-American forces respectively, north of Rheims and eastward in Champagne to the vicinity of Verdun, the tale remains the same—the Germans slowly but surely are being forced everywhere to give ground and their vital defenses daily continue to be eaten into, notwithstanding the strong resistance against the efforts of the allies to close in on all sides of the great battle are from the North sea to the Swiss border and compel the German high command to reconstruct its fighting line. In Belgian Flanders the Belgian, French and British troops are keeping up their eastward progress in their endeavor to compel the Germans to give up Ostend and Zeebrugge, their naval bases on the North sea. Across the border in France the capture of Armentieres brings Lille, capital of the department of the Nord, within striking distance, and the evacuation of Lens places Douai, the fortress northeast of Arras, and all the territory between Arras and Menin virtually in the hands of the British. To the south, from Cambrai to St. Quentin, the German resistance is still strong, but the British, Americans and French on all the sectors which are essential to the carrying forward of the allied program have attacked valiantly and withstood counter attacks, smashed the old Hindenburg positions and materially advanced their line. In their retreat from Albania the Austro-Hungarians everywhere are in flight before the Italians, burning towns and depots behind them. Large numbers of prisoners and quantities of war material have been captured. Train Kills Twenty-five Workmen. Bedford, Ohio.—Twenty-six men are known to have been killed and several injured when a Pennsylvania flyer from Columbus for Cleveland ran through a crowd of workmen at the Interstate Engineering plant here as they were boarding a workmen's special train to go to their homes after working all night. Twenty-three of the men were killed outright and three died at hospitals shortly after they were injured without regaining consciousness. Two or three others injured may recover. Washington.—The U. S. S. ship Tampa, a former coast guard cutter in naval service, was lost off the English coast Sept. 26, with all on board, while on convoy duty. Ten officers and 102 enlisted men of the crew, one British officer and five civilian employees lost their lives. A Navy Department statement Thursday announcing the disaster says the ship was sunk at night in the Bristol channel and that reports indicate that she was struck by a torpedo while escorting a convoy. Germany Removing Assassination Divinities. Geneva.-German military authorities have begun to remove the inhabitants of Alsace, according to the Democrate, in expectation of a Franco-American attack on the frontier. The inhabitants of twenty villages, including Ferrette, Goutavon and Winkel, already have been sent to Bavaria. Some of the villagers have escaped across the Swiss frontier. Fear of disorder is rampant throughout Alsace-Lorraine. Food is scarce and little fuel is available. ```markdown ``` Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

A Furs and Fur Fabrics on Coats THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY Among the pretty frocks shown at the style show was this one of poplin, indulging in narrow bands of velvet, and in plaited panels at the back and front. Only silk frocks can be allowed the extravagance of plaits; it is out of the question to allow extra quantities of wool for them. This attractive dress has more than a generous allowance of plaits to its credit, for it displays a new management of the bodice. For the slender woman who inspires to wear a straight line dress but hopes not to look angular, this is a model worth studying. The bodice is extended several inches below the waistline and is straight, with bands of velvet that relieve its plainness and improve the figure. The sleeves are banded In the same way and finished with a velvet cuff—that is simply a wide band. The little jacket is plain and has a shoulder cape that widens the shoulder lines, and it falls in a slight ripple over the bust Furs and Fur F Fur fabrics have passed the experimental stage and are now as much a part of the winter's resources for garments and trimmings as furs themselves. They are used as furs are, for trimming cloth coats and for the body of coats that are usually finished off with genuine fur in collars and cuffs. Their manufacture has reached such a degree of excellence that they can bear the closest sort of comparison with natural furs. When the question of durability is raised the evidence is all in favor of fur fabrics—they outlast almost all other clothes and outwear the softest furs by many seasons. Manufacturers have been especially 'successful in lintfating sealskin, moleskin, Persian lamb, broadtail and beaver. The moleskin and broadtail plushes make the richest looking coats and are used in luxurious wraps, rimmed with handsome furs for the dressiest wear. One of the coats in the picture is of seal plush with collar and cuffs and wide border at the bottom of short-haired fox. This is a coat for general wear and is a guarantee of comfort in the coldest weather. It has a plain body with a skirt portion plaited to it across the back, and a wide belt that is the only break in its long lines. --- and at the under arms. In other terms it conceals the deficiencies of the toothin figure. It is finished with a rolling collar of white wash satin cut high at the back. By the same sort of subtle management the plaits and the horizontal bands on the wide panels of the skirt, fill out the thin narrow hips and seem to betray a curve which they really help to make. Altogether it is unusually well designed and so simple the home dressmaker can hardly fall to make a good copy of it. Tucks or a striped material may be substituted for the velvet bands. If a striped material is used it must match in color the plain goods to be used with it. Autumn Brims Vary. Many of the hats for fall are rather large as to brims, and no inconsiderable number of these models have brims of irregular shaping, some in decided pointed effects. fabrics on Coats The other coat is' of heavy velours, with wide shawl collar and turned back cuffs of moleskin plush, all in taupe color. Except for two plaats at the side stitched down to the hip lines, it is entirely plain. Just by way of showing how expertly stitching can be managed the designer of this coat placed a small insert of cloth under a cut-out in the sleeve above the cuff. Its color has much to do with the elegance of this coat and demands the sort of designing that appears in it. It is a gentlewoman's coat—equal to nearly all the demands of the winter season and a very handsome garment with all its simplicity. It buttons up the front and may be brought up close about the neck where the plush collar will prove as warm as fur. Julia Bottomley Upstanding Frill. Perhaps as an outgrowth of the Medici collar, that has come into vogue, is the upstanding frill at the neck, of organdie or net. It is essentially dainty and feminine in appearance, and is becoming to many women to whom the more severe lines of the round and square neck are not gracious. J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
