VOL. XXIV. What Ails the The Present Status of the Colored Headwaiter Who Remember Race—Is the Negro Deteriorating gests a Hotel Training School for Worked at the Hotel Stanley, E Has Manager Alfred Lamborn's bution On the Subject. (By Henry J. D. Sample.) AFTER twenty years of retirement as a hotel waiter and having studied from cause to effect, why the colored waiters have lost their prestige with the public, and consequently have become extremely unpopular with hotel managements, I propose to state some of the undeniable facts concerning their inefficiency, and indeed the errors which are so common and conspicuous wherever colored waiters are employed. I think it is wise and timely also to recommend the proper remedies as an antidote for some of the principal errors which have done more to demoralize the colored youth of the race and drive them from the profession than anything else. First, the unchaste, uneducated and upscrupulous Negroes have forced themselves ahead of the most conservative, well trained men of the Negro race and have styled themselves representatives with a large following, most of them and their followers being of the lowest moral type of the race. This class of men have the effrontery to write letters to hotel managers throughout the United States, making propositions to furnish them with first class dining room help at an extremely low cost to the hotel management, whose names they secure from the various hotel magazines. As a result the managers of some of the hotels who have had trouble with unions and shortage of help turn their attention towards these self-styled headwaiters, who are nothing more than confidence men and "innhorn gamblers." And in answer to their proposition make a request of the applicant for former reference, which will of course be forthcoming. In a large city there is no trouble at all to secure any kind of reference if one is willing to pay the price. And the unscrupulous Negro will stop at nothing to gain his point when once he has gained an audience with the manager. Now let us see how he proceeds after he is employed, to furnish a crew and take charge of the dining room at a set time. First, he has some of his cohorts to frequent the pool rooms, gambling clubs and other such resorts in search of men, with the understanding that they will be rewarded by promotion to second waiter, captain, or given the privilege of run ning the games. When the time comes all is cut and dried. Mr. So-and-So is installed as headwaiter and the news is spread far and near that Mr. So-and-So has been made headwaiter of such and such a hotel. In a short time the men begin to find out that not only their wages are too small to pay their expenses, but also they are being robbed of their daily tips by "pikers" who are working in the crew for that purpose. The headwaiter having fixed everything in advance is very innocent when told of existing conditions. Consequently men begin to get discouraged and lay off sick or find other work. Meanwhile the service is going from bad to worse. Some of the men are untidy, unshaved, some with tagged shoes, some with no heels on --- their shoes, others with dirty shirts on. Still others chewing tobacco and smelling of tobacco smoke and whiskey. Many times when complaints are made by the guest of incivility on investigation it will be found that the waiter has stayed up late at night gambling and has probably lost what money he had and is cross because the guests do not tip him. In the meantime the manager sees his mistake and decides to make a change in the service by changing the whole crew from colored to white or from Americans to foreigners. Sometimes he will take the headwaiter to task for having deceived him in making promises that were not fulfilled. The "ham headwaiter," for that is the name given to such men, begins to explain the shortcomings of his crew by putting the glame upon everybody by putting the blame upon everybody responsible. With such men as the above mentioned it is no uncommon thing to see the headwaiter carrying on a conversation with some of his men during meal hours, keeping up a constant buzzing in the room, which is very annoying to the guests. Another error which is very common among such waiters is, talking to the guest about baseball and craps and other games, which is altogether out of order in the dining room. And I might mention some of the other discretable things regarding their conduct in the kitchen, where white help is employed—a great deal of nonsensical talk is indulged in there and in many instances fussing among themselves, and with the cooks stealing food and hiding it, causing a shortage of articles that annoy the guests and embarrass both the manager and the steward. There was a time when this condition of things did not exist. I refer to the days when the colored waiters were first trained as housemen, butlers, and valets, etc., before entering into life as public servants, men and boys who could furnish references from business and professional men as well as from the families of good society. Our headwaiters also were tried men—men of intellect—men of patience, without the thought of graft, either from the guest or from the waiters. They were men above reproach, yet they were courteous, polite and obliging. They did not think they were kaisers because they could employ and discharge a waiter without consulting the manager; indeed it was a rare thing for a waiter to be discharged from a first class hotel, in many parts of the country. The question is oftimes asked, why have things been changed? And where are all of the first-class, competent and proficient colored waiters? What has become of the highly respected headwaiter? You say you have tried all kinds of colored men and have finally abandoned the idea of ever bothering with them again. To these objections let me say I feel very much in sympathy with the hotel managers, because being a colored man and retired waiter I have been able to see the inside, while the DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1918 state Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House table Negro Pap ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAT managers could only see the outside. I have had to live among them while the managers lived above them. They have been my associates, they have been your servants. I have seen their home life; you have seen their public life. The old saying that all colored men are about the same in principle is an error that should be reconsidered. There are any amount of high class colored waiters today that are following other occupations in order to avoid the contamination of the indiscreet and worthless colored men who have found favor with the so-called headwaiter and are using the waiters' profession to avoid honest labor. The best and only way for the hotel men of the United States is to encourage a school for the training of colored men for first class American hotel service. Our hotels in the United States have supplanted their own well trained colored servants in many places with foreigners of doubtful loyalty and patriotism, who are not only disloyal to our hotel men, but to America and America's institutions. The great crisis of today is furnishing us with evidence of pro-German sympathy everywhere, and in all avenues of labor. That the colored man is the product of America cannot be denied, even though there are many untrained and worthless men among them in common with other races. Let the Hotel Managers' Association of America encourage similar associations among those of the colored waiters who are not suitable for military service and with a school of training where those wishing to make themselves proficient in the waiters' profession may by faithful application to study, obtain diplomas which will be recognized by the hotel managers throughout the United States. Then will the service be put on a scientific basis, where men of honesty and character can prove their real value. Let all true Americans rise or fall together. The colored waiter when seen at his best is an American product and knows the American ideals, and should not be substituted by the rifraff of the race who style themselves colored first-class headwaiters.—The Hotel World. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION IN THE PRESENT CRISIS. Hampton, Va., Oct. 8.—"The Republic, the world, and the Kingdom of God, need not only brave soldiers, but intelligent, skillful, self-respecting, reliable, unselfish workers. We cannot have too many of them. From them, as well as from the more intellectually educated, will come the aristocracy of the future—an aristocracy not of birth but of worth—an aristocracy of the true leaders that every successful democracy demands and sooner or later discovers." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, thus summed up his survey of "Industrial Education in the Present Crisis" in a recent address delivered in Raleigh, N. C., before the National Convention of Congregational Workers among Colored People. Dr. Gregg also said: "The United States Government is discovering the need of saldier-medic discovering the need of soldier-medically in our technical schools all over the land. It is estimated that at least 220,000 soldier-mechanics will be trained by next June. "Many of these men will come back from the war with a new self-respect, not only because of their record and experienc as soldiers, but also because they will return to their homes better fitted to do their work in the world." LETTER FROM LIBERIA, AFRICA. A reply to J. N. Walker's letter addressed to "The Africans in America," asking the question, "Are we citizens, or are we not?" Liberia offers many inducements for Africans in America. Schieffelin, Territory of Marshall, Republic of Liberia, July 5, 1918. J. N. Walker, President, The Colorado African Colonization Co., 2208 Larimer Street, Denver, Colorado. Dear Sir: I have had the pleasure of reading your letter addressed to "The Africans in America," asking the question, "Are we Citizens or are we not?" Said letter attracted my attention and I wish to express a few thoughts to you on the subject. Looking at the subject from my standpoint I am forced to say, with you, that the sons and daughters of Africa have served the Americans the length of time God Almighty intended and, I say, therefore, change the condition of things in order that you may return to the land of your fathers. You will remember when the time arrived for the Hebrews to go to the land God had promised them, their oppression increased, so that they cried unto the Lord and he delivered them. It may be that the discrimination of which you complain may be considered as an increase of oppression to cause you to look abroad where you may be free from oppression... Now! The Hebrews complained, but things grew worse and worse until they were led out of the iron furnace, God being in the midst of them. It appears to me that the mobs occurring in East St. Louis and other places, and the lynchings and shootings done, or practiced, on the unfortunate race in America are deepening the oppression to drive you out of the land. With these things before your eyes, causing you to consider the propriety of leaving America, allow me to say that the only country on the face of the earth where you can enjoy equal rights as a man, or men, is Liberia. When I look over the history of Liberia it tells me it was procured for the freed sons and daughters of Africa and God has helped us to hold it to the present day. So! Then, you can come and help to make the Negro's home what you, in God's hand, will have it to be. You have had the advantages of the schools of different grades, together with the arts and sciences of this modern day. You have mechanics of all classes who are much needed to build homes and establish a country. Come to us and bring all such with you. The farmer, the ship-builder, the house-carpenter, the brick and stone mason, the shoemaker, and many other trades not necessary to mention, men and women, ministers, doctors, lawyers, all are needed. In coming, do not expect to find America in Liberia. The Americans had to make America what it now is. So you, or we, will have to make Liberia what we will have it be. Again I say, Come! because you can soon aspire to any position you may wish, even though it be for the Presidency. Here a man is respected according to his merits and not his complexion. Just here I would like to say, I think your letter to the President, instead of being of the nature it is, should have been for an adequate sum to help convey you from America to Liberia. Perhaps this should be under the head of a petition, which he might lay before Congress, and which might result in great good. Dear Sir! You must excuse my assumption in this matter. Believe me to be yours, and a sincere and dear lover of the race. ZACHARY T. WALKER, SR. P. S.—I will be glad to know the stage of the body, from time to time, if you please. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources New Orleans, La.—A crew of sixty colored waiters under Headwaiter R. N. Smith took charge of the dining department of the St. Charles Hotel on October 1. The St. Charles Hotel is regarded as the finest hostelry in the South, and is conducted on the European plan. Dan Boone of Chicago is second waiter and H. W. Jenkins of Philadelphia, secretary. Most of the crew was taken from New York. R. N. Smith is one of the best known hotel men in the countdy. Last winter he had charge of the dining department of the Breakers, Palm Beach, and this summer he was at the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga. PREACHER WHO PROVED TRAITOR 3LAIN BY WIFE St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 4.—Luther Pope, age 55, a Baptist minister, and who was branded as a traitor because of the part he played in the aiding of the police to indict Dr. Leroy N. Bundy in connection with the East St. Louis riots a year ago, was shot and killed by his wife, Mrs. Minnie Pope, at their home in Centerville station, five miles east of East St. Louis. Mrs. Pope declared her husband had become a notorious drunkard and on several occasions abused her. She shot him through the right breast with a shotgun and death was instantaneous. She is 52 years of age. Mrs. Pope is held in the East St. Louis jail without ball. Pope is said to have manufactured evidence against members of his own race in order to have them indicted in connection with the race riots. For his improper conduct he was forced to resign his pastorate. EFFICIENCY PLUS SPIRIT OF SERVICE. Colored Woman in Bureau of Engraving Makes a Record in Currency Rush. Mrs. Anna R. Grant, a Negro expert currency examiner, did three persons' work for more than a week during the recent currency rush. More than once she went on duty at 8 a. m., worked all day and all night, until 12 the next day, stayed off that afternoon for rest and went on again that night. From July to September she was of greatest assistance t othose in charge by relieving other girls. "She is to all in the bureau, regardless of race, an example of rare efficiency and fine spirit," one of her associates said. Mrs. Grant's husband is in France. The Negro girls as a whole in the bureau are satisfactory and are said to complain less than the other girls. HOW PILE DRIVING RECORD WAS BROKEN. Capt. Edward Burwell of Crew of 11 Negroes Describes Remarkable Feat of Hog Island Workmen. "Kling" Burwell—otherwise Capt. Edward Burwell, Negro leader of a gang of 11 Negro pile drivers—credits Robert Bruce with the inspiration which led his crew to break the NO. 51. world's record in driving piles on shipway No. 46, at Hog Island. "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," reads the placard on the pile-driving machine to which he pointed, smiling, when he was asked how he and his men had happened to break the record. "That sign filled our crew with enthusiasm," he said. "We decided one night that a new world's record would be made on the morrow, and it was. Of course, we had some mechanical troubles, but the men instead of fretting and fuming just looked up at the sign and started in with renewed vigor. The result was that the record was smashed. "I am glad that the record was made at Hog Island. Here, if a man can deliver the goods in getting the ships out on schedule time, he gets the same credit and appreciation whether he is white or black. It's a wonderful illustration of the spirit with which we are all working hand in hand to defeat the land-grabbing, cruel Huns." GEORGIA COURT HOLDS SHRINER ORDER IS ILLEGAL. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 4.—After several years of legal battle in the various courts in this section, the State Supreme Court of Georgia handed down a decision restraining for an unlimited period the order of Shriners of our Race from using the name Shriner or in anyway identifying itself with the white Shriners by the use of insignia or regalia. The decision was against an organization formed immediately after the white Shriners' convention which was held in this city during the year 1914. Other Orders Fought. This is the third attempt on the part of Southern whites to stamp out secret organizations among our people. The Knights of Pythias and Order of Elks were targets for the white orders of similar names, and only by unrestricted protest and legal appeal in the highest courts did the Pythians succeed in winning out against the strong arm of prejudice and conceit. The Elks are said to have allowed their battle against disorganization to drift in an indifferent channel, and suffered the results of being subjected to a change. The change, however, has not defeated the purpose of the organization. Fight Goes to Higher Court. The supreme forces in the Shriners have made known their intentions to carry the case to the highest tribunal of justice with the idea of protecting the rights of the order, and to smother the embarrassment of having to make a complete change in the use of insignia and regalia. In the event that the present decision is regarded as permanent it will mean the loss of several thousands of dollars to the Shriners throughout the state, as the material so far distributed to the various ladges would total a vast amount of expenditure. The best legal talent in the state has been obtained to appeal the case in the United States Supreme Court for the purpose of having the present decision reviewed. The same legal procedure that characterized the successful termination of the Pythian suit against the white order in Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee will apply to the Shriners. The manner in which the Pythians were fought by the whites is so similar in nature to the fight now being waged against the Shriners that the present decision which seeks to annihilate the order in this section is viewed with little concern. But the fact that the Shriners have been fired on by their white brothers will test the sincerity and benevolent affiliation of the order throughout the country.

A Vienna dispatch says Hungarian newspapers report 100,000 cases in Budapest. The Buenos Aires national medical department is alarmed by the persistent spread of an unidentified epidemic among children in Catamarca province. In a month 109 children have died out of a total population of 10,000. The disease resembles dysentery and is highly contagious. An indication of the troublous times in the German army is the report that Field Marshal von Hindenburg has resigned after a stormy interview with Emperor William during which Von Hindenburg informed the emperor that a German retreat on a large scale was necessary. The evacuation by the Germans of the Belgian coast region is continuing, the frontier correspondent of the Amsterdam Telegraaf reports. The stores of material at Knokke, near the coast, five miles from the Dutch border, have been set on fire, the reports state, and many factories have been undermined in preparation for their quick destruction. A powerful movement is under way in Germany for a general armistice and peace. The new German chancellor, Prince Maximilian of Baden proposed a general suspension of hostilities, the appointment of plenipotentiaries to meet at a neutral place for the discussion of a league for arbitration and disarmament and the forwarding of a request to the entente allies for their terms.

ABOUT THE WAR The French have captured Berry-Au-Bac, the Paris war office announces. The Austrian armies in Albania face a major disaster as a result of the allied successes in Serbia. Franco-American troops in Champagne have driven back the Germans over a front of nearly two miles north of St. Pierre, captured the plateau northeast of Autry and taken numerous prisoners. Northwest of Berry-au-Bac the French have driven their line to the junction of the Aisne and Suippe rivers, placing the German front around Laon and eastward in greater jeopardy. In Champagne, General Gouraud's forces have increased their gains all the way eastward to the region of the Argonne forest, while on the eastern side of the forest the Americans have improved their battle front along the Aire valley. On the southern part of the battle front, from the Rhelms sector to the Meuse river, the French and Americans are carrying out successfully their converging movement northward and on all sectors have gained additional ground. All along the front from Rheims to the Meuse, a distance of more than fifty miles, the enemy everywhere has met with serious reverses and is falling back at some places in disorder, under the heavy pressure that is being imposed against him. The British and Americans have advanced to a depth of about three miles on a twenty-mile front in their great attack between St. Quentin and Cambrai. Numerous towns have been captured, and seemingly all the great defensive positions of the enemy in this region have been obliterated. Total number of American casualties to date, including those reported Sunday: Killed in action (including 291 at sea), 7,990; died of wounds, 2,586; died of disease, 1,992; died of accident and other causes, 960; wounded in action, 21,922; missing in action (including prisoners), 5,221.

WASHINGTON President Wilson received a party of Swiss editors who are visiting the United States as guests of the committee on public information. Plans of Congress to adjourn for a month over the November elections drew a warning from Secretary McAdoo that failure promptly to enact the $8,000,000,000 war revenue bill will disorganize and endanger the national finance. President Wilson informed the German government that before the United States can discuss an armistice German troops must withdraw from all invaded territory. He asked Chancellor Maximilian whether he represented the German people or the authorities of the empire who are conducting the war. The imperial German government is asked whether it accepts the terms laid down by the President in his address to Congress Jan. 8 and subsequent addresses.

Lieutenant A. A. Levine of Denver has been wounded at the front. He has been in France for more than a year. Allen C. Blackburn of Pueblo is among those reported killed in France in the casualty list. Ben Robinson of Louisville, previously reported missing, is ill in a hospital. Earl Mendenhall of Windsor is reported wounded severely, as is Hubert E. Warren of Haswell. Russell Keene Sprunt of Denver is reported killed by shrapnel in the second battle of the Marne while manning his machine gun with others of his marine corps. Those who wish to be machine guners have an opportunity of joining the state guard. The Colorado National Guard needs a few more men to muster up its strength. A notice that all workers who have colds will not be allowed to remain on duty at the headquarters of the Denver chapter of the American Red Cross has been issued. Denver's Fourth Liberty Loan campaign was given impetus, destined to put the city over the top by a rousing patriotic meeting held at the Auditorium. The name of J. J. Woods of Fort Collins appears in a Canadian casualty list as being severely wounded. Still another factor in the fight over the disposition of the Colorado Yule Marble Company's large holdings in Gunnison county entered the case when Ben Grimes filed with the District Court a petition for a restraining order against M. H. Radetsky, the county commissioners and treasurer of Gunnison county. The women of the Baldwin Circle of National Defense have undertaken a campaign for the wider adoption of the noonday prayer for the success of the American armies by the citizens of Denver.

You cannot afford to swallow | this talk about who were our friends and how much we have lost, ete., as it’s useless, irrelevant and a waste of valuable time to consider, The one thing confronting us and likely to be most impressive in this ecam- paign is—will we run the risk of another DEMOCRATIC HEAD in the state, and seeing now that we are hanging on @ thread, can we afford to experiment with the little privilege or advantage left us? Dismiss from your mind—a little Democrat, a little more Republican, | un Independent or something else. ‘Too many on the brain. Republican pure and simple—PHIPPS and VAILE—‘safety first.” THE PEOPLE'S DUTY TO THE NEWSPAPER. nee subscribers and readers of The Colorado Statesman have a recipro- cal duty to the paper that comes into their hands fifty-two times a year—we never miss an issue. The first duty is to see that the imunage- ment get their money. Newspapers, like churches, societies and other busi- nesses, cannot run without money, therefore prompt pay is essential. Second—If The Colorado Statesman is a good paper—-we try to make it the best—then you ought to try to inerease its circulation and subserip- tion, just as you try to get new members into your chureh and lodge. It means a stronger church or better lodge, just as increased circulation makes a better newspaper. ‘Third—The mission of this paper is the collection, condensation-—for that is necessary in these busy days—and disseminating of news of a bealthy, interesting and beneficial nature to the race. This paper has demonstrated this beyond any question during the past years. But it is impossible to get all of the happenings of importance in a city like Denver unless notice of these events are maiied to our office. Very often meet- ings of an interesting nature are held, entertainments given, socials, part- ies and banquets carried out, sports, games and reunions conducted, con- certs, lectures and installations indulged in, business transactions, sales and changes pulled off successfully, and people wonder why it is not re- ferred to in our paper. Simply because the management is not aware of the happening, or press tickets or newspaper courtesy mailed or presented to us so that we might send our reporter to get the facts. There are eth- ies in newspaper work, the same as in other service, and promoters of entertainments ought to make provision for the press the same as they do for other kinds of publicity. The people of Denver want the news. The Colorado Statesman is prepared to give it. This is our business and it is the indispensable duty of every one to assist in getting it to us so that the public may have it promptly. The Colorado Statesman does not charge for space and will not charge except for that of an ADVERTISING NA- TURE. We will publish all matter mailed to us, reserving, of course, the right to EDIT THE SAME. Let the public take notice of this and do your ity, BE NOT DISCOURAGED, Tre COLORADO STATESMAN has very little patience with the all-too- prevaicnt inclination on the part of colored men to knock and con- demn one another without limit, just because we all do not and cannot see and do things alike, or view with the same degree of importance the special hobbies on which individuals set their hearts. We do not aim to boost men promiscuously, without the requirement of a reasonable show of merit, but we do not believe in condemning men generally, and par ticularly men of stnding and merit, who are striving to the best of their ability to meet the conditions imposed upon them by their callings, just hecause they do not do as much as we would like to see done.’ No good iv accomplished by a wholesale, imitative campaign against conditions which ‘are not wantonly bad, but which are due to faults arising out of natural conditions. We are in hearty sympthy with all legitimate race enterprises and give them sincere and emphatic endorsement in our columns, but we have no cranky scolding to do if the people fail to appreciate opportunities presented or to follow our advice in their support. Colored people do not accomplish things just as promptly and completely as other people accom- plish them because we have not had the reliable experience and do not possess the inherent capacity that centuries of independent effort have developed in those other people. We must expect to face conditions as they are and treat them with toleration and patience, however we may re- gret the tardiness of their reform. The development of business instinct among us is necessarily a slow process, which depends far more upon enticement and good-natured en- couragement than upon public condemnation, © The impossibilities of public cooperation, either in a business or so- cial way, need not so disgust us that we need give up individual effort nor sacrifice our racial relations or ambitions by turning over to others that which we would rather see our race enjoy. Colored men of superior intelligence and genius, who are fired with desires to institute and carry on progressive movements for the improve- ment of race conditions, ought to be prepared to meet failures and disap- pointments and to endure sacrifices. ‘The obligation imposed upon them by reason of their superior intelli- gence and genius, is one of ceaseless effort, infinite patience and unfalter- ing faith in the final triumph of their ideas. We have seen a great many efforts fail. We have seen a great many of our own well intended and strenuously agitated plans come to naught, when their realization would have been wholly to the people's credit. We have sacrificed many a hard- earned dollar in our fight for the race and have seen many unselfish and legitimate efforts go unappreciated and often opposed by those who would have benefited by their accomplishment. But we are neither cynical nor grouchy over the experience, and we are not discouraged. Ours is yet an infant race, in spite of the size of the baubles we play with. We have years of nursing before us before we can grapple confidently with all the big problems of life. : Preventable Waste to Amount of $1,943,000,000 Going on in America By Piol, E. B.

A great deal of fruit and many vegetables are wasted on the farm. These could all be canned at home, and we would have a saving of a hundred million dollars. America’s annual bill for not taking the right care of farm machinery amounts to $25,000,000. America’s careless and wasteful handling of apples and potatoes makes at least another $10,000,- 000. Authorities state that the sum total of our neglected fences, roads and farm buildings represents another loss of $250,000,000. It is a simple problem in arithmetic to sum up all these. Sum them up and you will find that they total $1,943,000,000—a sum that is cer- tainly worth thinking about. Millions of Men Under Hapsburg Tyranny Are Longing for Real Freedom By ELMER DAVIS The Jugo-Slavs of the Adriatic provinces and the Czecho-Slovaks of the north look to America as the deliverer from Hapsburg tyranny. ‘Twenty-eight million people trodden down by a German-Magyar minority are with the allies heart and soul. In the dual monarchy there are, roughly speaking, 12,000,000 Aus- tro-Germans and 10,000,000 Magyars. Opposed to these ruling races are 8,500,000 Czecho-Slovaks, 5,000,000 Poles, 4,000,000 Roumanians, 7,000,000 Jugo-Slavs, 3,000,000 Bohemians and nearly 1,000,000 Italians. For nearly fifty years the diplomatic relations between Germany and Austria have been dictated by the Hapsburg policy of playing off one race against another to prevent insurrection. The kaiser has backed Austria’s hand because the freedom of the oppressed races in the dual monarchy would put an end to the whole Mittel-Europa scheme. ‘The Roumanians, the Italians, ihe Jugo-Slavs all want to be joined to the kindred race with which they are by blood allied. Alone of the subject races the Czecho-Slovaks have no free fraction of their own people outside the Austrian empire with which to be united, But the Czecho-Slovaks are irreconcilable—and with a free Bohemia the dream of central Europe is impossible. Many years ago Bismarck said, “The master of Bohemia is the master of Europe.” Every German and Austrian statesman since his time has kept this before him as a practical rule of conduct. ‘ If the Jugo-Slay territory were united Austria-Hungary would be cut off from the Adriatic, which would be fatal to the military plans of Germany. ‘That is why the nationalistic aspirations for freedom of the Jugo- Slavs and the Czecho-Slovaks are tremendously important to the Allies. Patriotic Women of America Are Urged to Buy Less Clothes and Save Wool By MISS E. M. HYLE, University of Missouri, College of Agriculture ‘The patriotism of American women will be tested this year by the way they solve their clothing problem. ‘The woman who buys a new wool suit or dress, when she has an old one which she can freshen up or remodel, is a slacker. ‘America produces only enough wool to supply one-half to two-thirds her normal needs. The average amount of wool required for a civilian is eight pounds a year, while for a fully equipped soldier it is about thirteen times this amount, or 106 pounds. When the army is increased to five million men it is estimated that no civilian can have any new wool clothes. Even at present it is not possible for sol- diers’ blankets and suits to be all wool. ‘The army blankets now contain 35 per cent reworked wool, and there is 25 per cent cotton and 25 per cent shoddy in some of the material used for soldiers. The manufacturers of women’s clothing are doing their part in help- ing in this wool situation. They have agreed to limit themselves to a few styles, to garments with little or no wool trimming, such as extra pockets, belts and straps, to use material for garments which contains some reworked wool, to use models which require a small amount of goods, and to reduce the use of samples. It is estimated that if sample giving is eliminated 67,000 soldiers can be clothed on what is thus saved. The government by cutting six inches from 7,000,000 soldiers’ overcoats was able to make 31,200 more coats. If a woman finds nothing in her trunk or attic which she can make over for herself this winter and finds that she must buy a new woolen garment, she should buy, if possible, a garment which is not navy’ blue or khaki color, because the government needs these dyes. If possible she should not buy cloth of the weave found in soldiers’ garments, since the looms which manufacture these weaves need to be kept busy on mate- rials for soldiers’ supplies. She should choose a design that is not extreme in style. Women should ask themselves this year, “How few clothes can I get along with?” and not “How much have I to spend for clothing?” Non- essential clothing should be eliminated because the production of any such material means that labor, machinery, fuel and transportation are being diverted from war purposes. Nonessential clothing is that which ie not required to maintain physical efficiency. Men’s collars have again advanced in price. The everlasting grati- tnde of nation would go out to some, Washington board that could Geclare them nonessential these days. The German birth rate is said to be falling off rapidly. More cheer ful news than this, however, is the increase in the German death sata | $$$ THE—> ‘COLORADO STATESMAN OS LAL EOIWLAIN | | The Mouth-Piece | of the People of , ‘ Colorado and the } Entire West , an 4 A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror ; of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. , : oe, THE R / COLORADO , | STATESMAN } } Unequaled as an advertising : medium for the business of professional men and } women. , : i } } An excellent family journal speaking to and for many | ) thousand colored citizens. , } a ee a | TWO DOLLARS A YEAR _ a | ; rrelgyrnm stTrawtéarr sare 4 aT THE COLORADO STATESMAN FOR EDUCATION OF THE YEAR CANNOT SHALL BE FRAIL PASS COUNTRY PARTY Mrs. J.

Quite a large number of our popular young men are leaving today for Pittsubrg, Penn., to take advantage of the government's offer of $4.25 a day in doing war work. This is a very promising field and with the facilities offered an incentive for more of our men to follow seems very likely. Information has reached us that Master Atwell Rose, formerly of Denver and a promising violin virtuoso, is engaged in regular choir work as violinist in one of the largest and most fashionable Methodist church in Los Angeles. We are proud to know of what our popular little Denverite is doing in the land of the Golden West. C. D. Kemp arrived in the city last Wednesday and left for Greeley to visit with his wife and mother-in-law, Mrs. Kemp being at the sick bedside of her mother for some time. Coming from Oakland, Mr. Kemp reports conditions very favorable for our people, and their financial standing is at high water mark. William Baker popular Denver resident of several years celebrated his — birthday last Saturday evening at his home, 2549 Clarkson street, where a few intimate friends and acquaintances responded to an invitation to enjoin the youngster in cards and music. Mrs. M. Baker, mother of the youth, and Mrs. Blanche Baker, wife along with Mr. Baker were host to the guests and a very enjoyable evening was spent. Refreshments of choice and dainty styles, including cigars and cigarettes, were served, and the well wishes for another successful milestone on the journey of life was accorded the youthful entertainer who has just passed his — year. The following persons were the participants of the evening's pleasure: Miss Bruce of Louisiana, Mesdames Holmes, Chandler, Grice; Messrs: Howard of Omaha, J. Chandler, Ward, Ben Curtis, E. Chandler, Froman, Watson and Hawthorne, and the general opinion expressed by them was highly appreciative of the grand entertainment and celebration of such an auspicious occasion. Mrs. Mary Jones Chiles departed this life Oct. 7th, 1918, at late residence, 2335 Walnut street. Remains were sent from the Douglass Undertaking Co. Chapel to Omaha, Neb., for burial. Charles Henry Montgomery passed away at his residence, 2549 Franklin street, Oct. 7th, at the age of 71 years. Death was due from a long illness. He was born in Lexington, Mo., came to Colorado thirty-seven years ago, reared quite a large family in Denver, was widely known and much respected among those who knew him best. He leaves to mourn his demise a devoted wife, Mrs. Mary Montgomery, two sons and three daughters, George of Chicago, Charles E. of Denver, Mrs. Tennie Talbert and Grace Wright of Chicago, Mrs. Ruth Jones of Denver.

Messrs George Ross and Alexander Waller, the former attorney at law and editor of the Denver Star, Negro newspaper, and the latter a real estate agent, were requested to discontinue their attendance at the rehearsals of the municipal chorus after a protest was made by some of the white members. Charles Clark, another Negro, who has been attending since the inception of the chorus, is much embarrassed, as he feels it's only a matter of a short time before he will be made to know he is an unwelcome guest. These two leading characters of our city were requested to join, and like the other members are musicians in part, but for the same reason that many of us have suffered, the color for which we are irresponsible, these important citizens are asked to STAY OUT. Mr. Clarence Reynolds, municipal organist and leader, hails from Philadelphia. Has he gotten initiated into Western action. WE SHOUT THE SOUTH. IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE? THE PAYNE-GROSS WEDDING. A pretty little wedding in which the contracting parties were Joseph E Payne, son of the late William Payne, city hall employé, and Miss Coile Gross, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Gross, Sr., popular residents of several years in Colorado Springs and Denver, took place last week Thursday, at the Church of the Holy Redeemer, the ceremony of Holy Matrimony being performed by Father Henry B. Brown, Vicar of the Church. At half after seven sharp, when the evening shades had lowered and the stars shone with a brilliancy as if to illuminate life's future pathway for the young people, the bride, a debutante of a few seasons ago, and the groom a very promising youth, both of the leading Denver social circles. Miss Gross entered the church leaning on the arm of her father, gracefully marching to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March played by Hewetson Watson. She was ably supported by her younger sister, Miss Carrie Gross, who was bridesmaid and who acted her part with much grace and ease. Arriving at the altar, the bride, charming and beautiful in her dress of white chiffon, white satin hat with bridal sipeprs to match, and carrying white bridal roses, took up her position on the left of the groom, while her brother, James Gross, attended to every particular in his serviceable role of best man. During the ceremony the Spring Song by Mendelssohn was played and its soft strains wafting through the sacred edifice added an impressiveness to the ceremony which was witnessed by Mrs. George Gross, mother of the bride, other relatives and a few intimate friends and acquaintances of the family. The bridegroom in the conventional evening dress suit looked every inch prepared for his new responsibility, and after both parties gave and pledged their troth, the ceremony concluding with the benediction and the Vicar's invocation of Divine blessing upon the newly married couple, the return march was made to the vicarage where the marriage certificate was signed and witnessed. Miss Carrie Gross was beautiful in a dress similar to the bride's and carried pink roses. A reception was held at 2521 Franklin street, the home of the bride's parents, from 8 to 10 p. m., the same being attended by numerous friends of the younger social circles, as well as some of the leading matrons and their other halves. A few out-of-town guests were also present. Presents were numerous and costly and the general wish of friends and relatives bespeak a happy and successful career for the young folks. The Colorado Statesman extends its felicitations to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Payne for every success in their life of conjugality. CASPER NOTES. Twenty of our boys have been sent from here to West Virginia to work in munition works, this including those sent to the army camps, robs Casper of some of her best male population and is very noticeable. Rev. Pope is again in our city as the pastor which was assigned here, the Rev. Green, left without due notice, leaving the A. M. E. church vacant. Rev. Pope will remain for a week or two. ARTHUR M. STONG, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR STATE AUDITOR IN THIS issue the Colorado Statesman takes great pleasure in endorsing the candidacy of Arthur M. Stong, of Alamosa, Colo., for the office of State Auditor on the Republican ticket, and recommend to our subscribers and readers that every effort be made to secure his election on November 5th next. Having a personal acquaintance with Mr. Stong extending over a period of several years, we have just reason to believe that the Republican party has made a wise selection in placing a man of such wide experience and capability on their ticket, and when elected, which we have reason to believe he will be, the state will be represented in the auditor's office by one of the most capable officials that has occupied that office for years. Politically, he has been identified with the Republican party for many years, and has taken an active interest in the welfare of the party. For a long period of years with the Associated Press, later in the railroad dispatcher's office, and in late years in commercial pursuits and accounting. An American by inheritance, as his family dates back almost two hundred years as citizens of the United States, and long before the Revolutionary war, in which his forefathers participated. He is a supporter of all war measures that will bring final triumph, by victory and not by compromise, to our forces in the cause of world liberty. Advocating and supporting every plank in the platform as adopted by the Colorado Republican party, his further principles are worthy of comment as personally declared: First—Enactment of just and adequate sanitary as well as physical laws for protection of labor in every department, and this to apply to women as well as men. Second—Better care and protection of school children and higher wages for teachers, so that proficient and satisfactory instructors for every district in the state can be secured. Third—Approves of the national suffrage amendment. Fourth—Better highways, and that the state and federal governments should cooperate to bring about such results. Fifth — Commercial organizations and clubs to boost for a GREATER COLORADO. Sixth — Efficiency in the conduct of public as well as private enterprises. He believes that all enlisted men returning from service following the "winning of the war" should be given title to certain agreed acreage of public lands and financial assistance from the Federal government to improve and cultivate same. The office of State Auditor, which commands the responsibility of guard over our state finances, is one of the most important officials in the state, and when elected Arthur M. Stong, with the assistance of a corps of export accountants we have reason to believe will conduct the office of State Auditor with such accuracy and dispatch that will no doubt meet with the approval of all our citizens. A man worthy of his calling—VOTE FOR HIM. MAKE RAID ON DINING CAR MEN FOR THIEVERY New York, N. Y., Oct. 4.—A general round-up in New York, New Haven and Springfield by federal authorities netted 32 stewards, waiters and chefs, employed on the dining cars of the New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. on a charge of fraud, last Sunday. According to the federal agents a bogus check for a meal would be handed the diner, and they claim that about $30,000 was stolen through this method last year. Eight of the men arrested were stewards, seven chefs and seventeen waiters. It is said that six of the men confessed immediately, and admitting that he was ahead $1,800 on the game. John P. Wharton, a well-known New York printer, is alleged to have been the maker of the plates, and it is said that the plates from which the fraudulent checks were made were found in his possession. EATON, COLO., NEWS. Deacon Wm. Dabney is out on his ranch this week digging potatoes. A big birthday dinner was given Sunday by Deacon and Mrs. Wm. Dabney in honor of Mrs. Annie Reed. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Wm. West from the country, Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse of Cheyenne, Mr. Ed Veal and Miss Edith Penn. Every one enjoyed themselves to the very highest and congratulated Mrs. Dabney on her good cooking. Real good services all day Sunday at the Baptist church, and good attendance. The song that was sung by Mrs. Muse, title "The King's Business," was beautiful; also the solo by Miss Trigoning was much appreciated.

And it is an interesting fact, though hardly a coincidence, if national inventive characteristics be borne in mind, that one of the most dendly man-killing machines, which the world owes to the genius of one American, the late Sir Hiram Maxim, should have found its antidote—the "tank"—in a device directly inspired by the invention of a compatlot, Mr. Benjamin Holt.

The Greek, the Egyptian and the Roman ladies used them to arrange and hold up their hair; eye ladies among the Swiss lake-dwellers seem to have been familiar with them.

In a few moments Betty emerged from the library with a piece of paper covered with the letter "E." "Now, daddy," she exclaimed, "don't worry; I filled the page for you!" Full Explanation.

D. Rivers, Publisher Colorado Statesman RED GROSS WORK AMONG REFUGEES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF UNFORTUNATES IN ITALY WELL CARED FOR. SCENE IN BOLOGNA STATION Alien Enemy Females Put Under the Permit Rules—Great Plans for the Further Relief of Belgians and French. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—How the hundreds of thousands of unfortunates driven from their homes in the course of the Austrian invasions of Italy were safely piloted to their destinations is related in a report received from an American Red Cross worker who has been looking after refugees in Bologna. "An arrival of emigrants from Europe would give but a faint idea of an exodus of refugees," the report says. "Many of them are taking their first journey on a railway. In most cases it is impossible to make themselves understood. They pour into the Bologna station, dragging behind them unwieldy packages, flasks, bottles, babies, sewing machines, hens (refugees have cats, dogs, caerules, bullfinches, pigeons, turkeys—in fact, our rest home has seen every variety of winged and four-footed live stock). There they stand, stupefied by the noise and confusion of the arrival, utterly unable to move, while maybe their train is about to depart. "However, we are there, looking for just such as they. The willing soldiers who are assigned to help the Red Cross take their difficult bundles, the huge sacks and a few of the babies. We take the eldest child, leading the way as a sort of decoy; and away we go, in and out of passenger trains, troop trains (no bridges or subways here), until we arrive at the train desired, hidden away behind all these obstacles, absolutely unattainable if not for our intervention. "The train is jammed. They always are. Everyone on board cries to us there is not another inch of room. We pay no attention to them. Our fattest soldier enters a car and opens a passage for the family. When all the members and their endless belongings are squeezed in we go back and pick up another family." Seven thousand men at Kelly field, division of military aeronautics, last month saved articles which in other times would be regarded as junk, but which brought the government $3,300. Some of this refuse was old paper, oil barrels, straw, bags, garbage, tin cans and metals. In addition, great piles of old clothing, tents, motorcycle parts, airplane fittings, engine parts, rubber tires and the like were saved. "Don't throw it away" is the slogan which is prompting the accumulation and sale of masses of materials at this and other camps. The fruit and milk cans that the "kitchen police" smash every day, for example, bring considerable money to the government. They sell at $16 a ton. Kelly field ships them by the carload to copper refineries, where they are thrown into flumes and serve to collect millions of molecules of copper that would otherwise be washed away. The cans are then heated, the copper separated from the tin and marketed. How to conserve clothing and shoes, lumber and equipment is taught the soldier, who is not slow to see the advantage in dollars to himself as well as to the government. It is intended soon to open shoe repair shops and tailor shops at Kelly field to make the work of reclamation of still greater value to the government. Midnight of October 5, 1918 has been fixed by the United States attorney general as the time when regulations establishing a one-mile prohibited area around federal or state forts, camps, arsenals, aircraft stations, government or naval vessels, navy yards, factories or workshops for the manufacture of munitions of war, etc., shall be effective as to German alien females. This date is fixed by the attorney general under authority granted to him in the president's proclamation of April 19, 1918. The effect of the attorney general's act in fixing this date is to make it unlawful for any German allen female of fourteen years of age and upwards to be found within one-half mile of any of the places mentioned (except on public carriers) without a permit from the United States marshal. Permits to reside in or to enter the prohibited area must be obtained, and applications for these must be made in the same manner as for similar permits in the case of German allen enemy males. Salt producers have agreed with the United States food administration to pack their product in only a few standard sacks and when packed in wood the barrels where possible will be hooped with wood instead of steel. When packed in cotton, salt will hereafter be obtainable in only five, ten and twenty-five pound or larger sacks. Proportionately, a one-pound sack will contain 50 per cent more cotton than a five-pound sack. The new arrangement is expected to save large quantities of cotton and steel and reduce the drain on labor. Plans for the relief of the 10,000,000 Belgians and French people now within territory occupied by the Germans contemplate the shipment in the next twelve months of 42,500,000 bushels of wheat, 2,200,000 bushels of beans, 3,000,000 bushels of rice, 26,400,000 pounds of corned beef, 277,200,000 pounds of pork products, 66,000,000 pounds of soap, 26,000,000 pounds of coffee, 18,000,000 pounds of cocoa 55,000,000 pounds of condensed milk and 40,000,000 pounds of sugar. This amount of food, together with the native produce, gives an average ration of about 2,000 calories—about half the consumption of the American people. This program is estimated to cost during the twelve months, for purchase and transportation, approximately $280,000,000. The finance has been arranged on the basis of advances to be made by loans from the United States to the Belgian and French governments in amounts sufficient to pay for the material purchased in the United States. The British and French governments are advancing in Europe the sums necessary to meet the expenditures made there for shipping and for foodstuffs coming from other quarters than the United States. In addition to the fleet controlled by the relief commission the United States and allied governments are placing at its disposal 200,000 tons of shipping recently obtained from the Swedish government for nonwar zone purposes. The commission announces that besides the food which it intends furnishing these stricken people there will be needed for them about 20,000 tons of clothing and cloth. Through the co-operation of the Red Cross about 5,000 tons of these supplies have been collected and the work of collection still continues. In its fourth installment of its report the war council of the American Red Cross announces that its expenditures in France for work among the civilian population since the war began, coupled with appropriations for the supply, transportation, women's hospital service and other bureaus, will total more than $70,000,000. "Expenditures in France to July 1, 1918, totaled $36,613,682.73, of which $21,160,622.66 was apportioned for relief work among refugees, reclaiming devastated areas, the fight against tuberculosis, operating expenses and other expenses that have to do with the civilian population," the report states. "The demands for the next six months for the same purposes are $34,582,827.57." The total of the expenditures for relief work and the reconstruction of devastated villages and the care of refugees from the devastated areas was $5,557,605.75. The third largest item was for a campaign against tuberculosis. This work absorbed $2,147,327. For the care of children in France up to July 1 the expenditure was $1,149,129.70. The cost of relieving refugees will be financed from an appropriation of $6,212,280.70, which has been set aside for the purpose. Retail prices of food as reported to the United States bureau of labor statistics for August, 1918, and just published, show for the country as a whole an increase of 2 per cent for all articles combined, as compared with July, 1918. The increase in price of all articles of food combined in August this year, compared with the same month of 1917, was 15 per cent. In this period hens showed the greatest advance—38 per cent. Chuck roast increased 30 per cent, round steak 29 per cent, rib roast 28 per cent, sirloin steak, plate-boiling beef and bacon 26 per cent each. Rice was 26 per cent higher than a year ago. Beans, flour, sugar, bread and coffee were cheaper than in August, 1917. For the five year period (August 15, 1913, to August 15, 1918) all food combined showed increase in price of 70 per cent. All the 17 articles for which prices were obtained for five years showed an increase of 52 per cent and more. Four articles increased 100 per cent. They were meal, 127 per cent; hard and flour, 106 per cent each, and potatoes 105 per cent. With nearly all the stars of the game in the army and navy, football will be one of the most popular sports in the various training camps this autumn. If reports to the war and navy departments' commission on training camp activities are dependable. Many colleges and preparatory schools have announced that football will be abandoned so far as academic and collegiate matches are concerned. Most of the college stars of previous years have entered the service, and the training commission's athletic directors are making plans to employ them in the formation of crack divisional, regimental and company elevens. Although many former college stars who played last season in the uniforms of the various naval station elevens have been transferred to active sea service, athletic directors are confident that the teams will be even better than a year ago. To assist in the campaign which the United States department of labor is conducting to train workers for service in war industries the Chicago board of education has donated a vacant school building and voted $10,000 for preliminary expense in equipping it. Leading manufacturers of the city are installing training machines and experts in production from their factories will outline the policies subject to the control of the board of education under the general supervision of the training and dilution service of the department of labor.

London.—Reports are current that a coup d' etat is likely in Germany in case the latest move for peace should fall, according to a Central News dispatch from Rome. The end of the rule of the Hohenzollerns and the possible establishment of a republic in Germany are predicted to follow the failure of the German peace effort. Copenhagen.—Thete German reply to President Wilson's note was drafted after a conference of Prince Maximilian, the imperial German chancellor, Vice Chancellor von Payer, the ministers and military representatives of the government. This information is contained in a dispatch received here from Berlin. Amsterdam.—Wild rumors are afloat that the German popular demand for peace has reached such proportions that the people are even willing to concede the authority to regulate the internal affairs of Germany, if such action is necessary to consummate peace, according to the Kolnische Volkes Zeitung. The paper is quoted as saying the rumor has it that "even the inviolate right of Germany in regulating its internal affairs no longer belongs in the category of irremovable barriers to our will to attain peace." Washington.—Evidence that Turkey is crumbling and already is almost if not quite out of the war, continued to appear in reports to the department. There was no confirmation, however, of rumors that the Ottoman government had proposed surrender, nor any explanation of the delayed appearance of the Turkish note said to have been sent simultaneously with those of Germany and Austria. Press dispatches from Swedish sources reaching Washington Thursday said that there were widespread rumors in Stockholm that the kaiser had abdicated. There was absolutely no confirmation to the report from any official source. Officials here were not inclined to credit it, at least at present. Serious disturbances are occurring in Berlin and other German cities, the dispatch from Stockholm also said. Flvers Injured as Plane Falls Denver.—The recovery of Lieut. Clifford C.

DOUBLE YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. President Calls on Nation to Oversubscribe Fourth Loan. Washington. — President Wilson Thursday issued this statement on the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign: "Recent events have enhanced, not lessened, the importance of this loan, and I hope that my fellow countrymen will let me say this to them very frankly. The best thing that could happen would be that the loan should not only be fully subscribed, but very greatly oversubscribed. We are in the midst of the greatest exercise of the power of this country that has ever been witnessed or forecast, and a single day of relaxation in that effort would be of tragical damage alike to ourselves and to the rest of the world. Nothing has happened which makes it safe or possible to do anything but push our effort to the utmost. The time is critical, and the response must be complete. (Signed) "WOODROW WILSON." Sir Hubert Parry Dies. London—Sir Hubert Hastings S. Parry, music composer, died here. ALLIES MAKE BIG ADVANCE. Paris, Oct. 11.—A quarter of a million Germans now are in full retreat between Cambrai and St. Quentin, with the allies hot at their heels. At some points the advance exceeded fifteen miles in two days. Le Cateau, the important junction point twelve miles southeast of Cambrai, represented Thursday night the point of deepest penetration by the allied troops. The British were the masters of it. RECALL ARMIES, THEN TALK PEACE PRESIDENT WILSON ASKS PRINCE MAX WHOM HE REPRESENTS IN ARMISTICE PROPOSAL. TEXT OF LANSING NOTE GOOD FAITH WOULD DEPEND UP ON HUNS WITHDRAWING FROM INVADED TERRITORY. Washington, Oct. 9.—President Wilson has met Germany's peace note with a move which will at one stroke develop whether her proposal is sincere or merely a pretension, and, if a pretension it be, fully justify for all time before the world the prolonging of the war with force to the uttermost, forec without stint or limit. At the some time the President has left wide open the door to peace. The text of the communication handed to the charge of Switzerland in Washington follows: "Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge, on behalf of the President, your note of Oct. 6, inclosing the communication from the German government to the President, and I am instructed by the President to request you to make the following communication to the imperial German chancellor: "Before making reply to the request of the imperial German government and in order that that reply shall be candid and straightforward as the momentous interests involved require, the President of the United States deems it necessary to assure himself of the exact meaning of the note o the imperial chancellor. "Does the imperial chancellor mean that the imperial German government accepts the terms laid down by the President in his address to the Congress of the United States on Jan. 8 last and in subsequent addresses, and that its object in entering into discussions would be only to agree upon the practical details of their application?" "The President feels bound to say with regard to the suggestion of an armistice that he would not feel at liberty to propose a cessation of arms to the governments with which the government of the United States is associated against the central powers, so long as the armies of those powers are upon their soil. The good faith of any discussion would manifestly depend upon the consent of the central powers immediately to withdraw their forces everywhere from invaded territory. "The President also feels that he is justified in asking whether the imperial chancellor is speaking merely for the constituted authorities of the empire who have so far conducted the war. He deems the answer to these questions vital from every point of view. "Accept, sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration "ROBERT LANSING." Washington.—General Diaz, commander-in-chief of the Italian army, has issued a general order reminding his soldiers that the enemy still is on Italian, French and Belgian soil, and calling on them not to be weakened by flattering hones of peace, but to hold themselves in readiness to completely crush the enemy if his peace offers prove to be "a fresh form of the old guille."

The uew blouses for fall and winter are still of these lovely erepes—they are still silk and bead- embroidered, but there are a few new style notes that place them as belong- ing to this particular season. Among these are new methods of shaping and fintshing neck openings, the use of batiste for collars, cuffs, vestees and frills.

It was too good to be discard- ed and appears in the blouse pictured with an emplacement of old blue crepe over a flesh-colored body on a blouse with round neck-opening. The white frill about the neck Is of batiste nnd It edges the band of blue georgette that forms the cuff, making the daint- ost sort of finish.

But one looks at it twice because of a litfle eccentricity In this collar. It Is slashed in a “V" at each side and the edge of the “V" joined by little straps of georgette.
