XXIV. The following editorial appeared in the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La., in a recent issue of that paper under the above caption: "T HE Negro has but one purpose in the present national crisis and that is to win the war and win it fully, without any sort of compromised peace or bargain at the peace table. He is agreed and fully subscribes to the program of the nation and gives his last ounce of devotion without quiver or question to the end that the Huns may be driven to their knees and that the world shall be made safe for all times. We answered the call of the first draft with an alacrity that dumbfounded our enemies and brought our friends to their tiptoes. We supplied our quota and more. The only complaint that has arisen from these loyal and faithful Negroes is that more of them have not been able to face the enemy in the very thickest of the fight. So anxious were our boys for the fray that they spurned the position that were practically free from danger. They much preferred the spot where bullets thickest fly. "In the draft that is now under way we will respond in like manner as we did in the first draft, and we are glad of the chance. But in all this we are frank to say that we are just men enough to be like other men and desire for ourselves, as well as for our posterity, every advantage that comes to men who offer themselves willingly on the altar of our national life. "In the first draft we received something like 1,000 officers, when our quota, figuring on a rough basis, would have been something like 6,000. These officers in the line were from the recognition given colored to that of captain. Even in this we have not made very large progress, from the recognition given colored troops in the Civil war, for even at that time there were Negroes commissioned to the rank of captain. The Negroes in this country, and we speak now not of a small segment but for the race of twelve million, feel that the minimum request is that they should have every line officer up to the rank of captain. The 1,000 officers who were given us in the first draft have made good. The Negro regiment that was decorated in its entirety on the Western front for its bravery was led by colored officers have been placed in direct charge of troops they have had a racial pride, as well as a national pride, to defend, and they did. "On the other hand, when our qualified men are set aside and men of other races are put over our troops, our troops may fight, but they do not fight with the enthusiasm that they would if their own men were given a chance. So that in the interest of morale, as well as the efficiency of our army, we are asking that in this second draft we shall have our prorata of line officers, at least to the rank of captain, if not further. "It would seem that the equity in the case would insist upon this. We know thoroughly well that it is the desire of our Negro population. Touch any element of our racial life and propound the question of "Are State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House line officers desired?' and there is but one answer. If the French government can commission Negro men all the way up to the rank of General, why should America lag behind when we have millions of the best Negro population of the world? "We have no reason to doubt but that the government will give us another such training camp as we had at Fort Des Moines, if not a training camp then any provision to its liking that will furnish to the Negro troops of the second draft our quota of line officers, both for the inspiration of our troops and the race in its entirety, as well as for the efficiency of our troops, and furthermore as a recognition of our enthusiastic loyalty to the nation in this time of its awful crisis. "We are calling attention to this fact because there are forces already at work to give us as few line officers as possible. If such a propaganda succeeds it will be at the expense of the efficiency of our army and in the interest of personal and racial advancement. The equity in the case justifies the expectation that our hopes will be realized and that our capable men of training and of leadership shall be called to those places of honor and of trust, and they will make good. "There has gone to the scrap heap, never to be resurrected, that infamous lie that Negroes cannot be led by Negroes, that the rank and file do not respond to the leadership of their own. Every concrete example in the life of our race is to the contrary. In commercial, in industrial, in educational, in all the walks of our racial life, where Negroes of ability, of character, of force and of leadership have been put in command of a segment of our people there has always been a larger response and fuller results. The entire race sits up in expectancy for the announcement any day that provision has been made by which we shall be given our rightful quota of line officers. Are we to be disappointed?" The foregoing is a most able and timely article and an exact embodiment of our people's sentiment. COLOR QUESTION ARISES IN TRANSVAAL. The Transvaal is now discussing whether unskilled labor shall be the exclusive property of Kaffir natives or whether white men shall be employed for such work. There is considerable difference of opinion in the matter, and although certain interests oppose the employment of white men at comparatively high wages, several newspapers and organizations are strongly in favor of educating white men to perform all the important work of the country. One objection to the employment of white men for unskilled work is that it may bar blacks from employment of any kind. White labor now has a monopoly of the skilled trades and there is a possibility that the high wages of white unskilled labor may cause employers to hire white men exclusively as they refuse to pay the same money to blacks. table Negro Paper ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAT MARTIN B. MADDEN PROTECTS THE RACE AT NATION'S CAPITAL Washington, D. C. Oct. 11.—Speaking to bill (S. 3438) having to do with the corrupt practice act in the House of Congress, Hon. Martin B. Madden delivered an extraordinary address to the country, in which he summarized numerous evils affecting citizens of the United States. The congressman took the broader view and insisted that the bill should embrace the rights of all citizens to vote. On the questions involved the congressman spoke as follows: "Mr. Speaker, I move to strike out the last three words. The election of President, vice president, senators and representatives in Congress is a very important function which devolved upon the American people and one in which every citizen of the United States, if he is otherwise qualified, should have the unrestricted right to participate. It is frequently said, and I think the record would prove the statement to be true, that many of the citizens of the United States who are otherwise called upon to bear the obligations of citizenship are not permitted to exercise the franchise. Today we are engaged in a great war, in which there seems to be no distinction as to those upon whom the responsibility of engaging in the conflict shall fall. We have not discriminated in any way against any citizen of America in calling upon men who are to fight the battles of the nation. We have called upon all freely. We have insisted that each man having the rights of citizenship shall assume the responsible burden of citizenship by shouldering a rifle and going to the front or doing such other war duty as may be imposed upon him by the law. It may seem important to report and enact a law imposing a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for a year on anyone who may accept or pay a bribe to induce a vote in favor of or against some candidate for office; but it seems to me it is still more important that the committee having jurisdiction of bills of this sort should also report some bill which would give to the citizens of the United States who are fighting its battles the right to vote. (Applause.) "How many hundreds of thousands of those men there who are denied the right to vote in America I am unable to say, but there are hundreds of thousands of them, and in certain states of the Union if a man happens perchance to have a black skin he is restricted in his right to exercise his privileges as a citizen when it comes to election day, but when it comes to fighting the battles of the nation and spilling a man's blood upon the fields of France, or elsewhere, there is no restriction. These men are loyal citizens of America—I am not making any complaint about Missouri. I say that these men who are today fighting for the freedom of America, for the honor of its flag, for the preservation of its institutions, ought to have the same privilege to exercise their political rights that every other man has. I say that, and to the extent of my ability I shall insist that in the future they shall have it; and if this committee on the election of President and vice president and senators and representatives in Congress would devote itself to the preparation and press --- entation of a law that would place the citizenship of America, with respect of the exercise of their political rights, on the basis of equality, they would be doing a much greater work than by the presentation of a bill that imposes a fine of a thousand dollars or imprisonment of a year on those who bribe a voter or who accept a bribe, though I am heartily in favor of the pending bill. Today it takes 50,000 men to elect the average member of Congress from a northern state and the average number of votes cast in the southern states for members of Congress is 2,500. "You may have more votes at the primary, but you do not have them at the election. The primary there is the election. I say that the primary in the South ought not to be any different from the primary in the North. The oligarchy ought not to continue to control America when it prevents the exercise of the franchise by the men who are willing to give their blood for the preservation of the nation." FUNERAL OF MRS. TROTTER. Noted For Her Work Among Colored Race. (Boston Post, Oct. 13, 1918.) The funeral of Mrs. Geraldine Louise Pindell, wife of William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Guardian, was held yesterday at 2 o'clock from her home, 97 Sawyer avenue, Dorcester. The Rev. Walter D. McClane, rector of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church of Cambridge, conducted the service with the Episcopal ritual "Crossing the Bar" and "Fear Ye Not, O Israel," from "Elijah" were sung by Harry Delmore, tenor. The gray cask et was banked with a profusion of beautiful floral tributes, one from the Boston Literary Association, another from the men of the Parker House. The honorary pallbearers were William D. Brigham, E. T. Morris, C. H Plummer, William L. Reed, E. E Brown, Dr. J. Washington Hill, the Rev. M. A. N. Shaw. The active pallbearers were E. P. Benjamin, William P. Hare, James Anderson, Robert Johnson, Frederick Brooks, Private David G. Morris, adopted soldier son of the deceased, from Camp Devens; Dr. A. P. Russell and Dr. H. W. Ross. There was a large attendance of friends. Interment was at Fairview cemetery, Hyde Park. Mrs. Trotter left to mourn her loss her mother, Mrs. Mary Pindell; a sister, Miss Gertrude Pindell; a foster brother and her husband. Geraldine Louise Trotter was born in Boston, Oct. 3, 1872, the daughter of Charles E. and Mary Pindell. She was educated in the Boston schools, and for ten years was bookkeeper for Ell Cooley, china decorator, until she married Mr. Trotter, June 27, 1899, in the same house where she died, Oct. 9, 1918, at the age of 46 years. Her chief life work was associate manager of the Boston Guardian, an organ for equal rights for colored Americans, published by Mr. Trotter. But she engaged in much public-spirited work. She secured pardons for several colored inmates of the state prison, notably the late William E. Hill, who had been there more than forty years. She was executive chairman of the Boston Literary Association, arranging the loving cup presentation to Moorfield Storey in Faneuil Hall. She organized a women's anti-lynching committee, and was a member of the Equal Rights League. Her chief activities recently were for the colored soldiers. She presented the national colors to the 519th Engineers at Camp Devens in behalf of the state. Organized the Godmother's Association to this, the only colored unit, which went overseas from Massachusetts, and begun organizing with a "circle of cheer" at Newburyport. She was a member of the Soldiers Comfort Unit and Sunday hostess at its War Service centre. Her last act was to send fruit to the colored soldiers at Camp Devens who were ill with influenza. She was a communicant of St. Mary's Episcopal church in Dorchester. Few members of her race were better known. She was an able newspaper woman and ready public speaker. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources --- Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 19.—Colored chauffeurs who own and operate their own cars, held up a funeral when a prominent colored family uncompromisingly employed a white undertaker, overlooking the race men in the same business. The chauffeurs decided that it would be better for all whites to handle the affair, even to the minister, and a crowd of church mourners waited while the white undertaker was compelled to hold the remains. Shreveport, La., Oct. 11.—What was known as the largest personal subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan was made in Caddo parish by David H. Haynes of Vivian. Mr. Haynes whose plantation was changed to gold when oil was discovered on it, walked into the local Liberty Loan headquarters here and purchased $100,000 worth of government subscriptions. He asserted that should the city fall short of its quota he would submit a check to bring the amount up to the government requirement. Durham, N. C., Oct. 11.—The North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co., purchasers of $100,000 worth of Liberty bonds in the first, second and third Liberty loans, has been instructed by its president, John Merrick, who is now in Hot Springs, Ark., to buy $40,000 worth of bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Mr. Merrick subscribed $1,000 personally. This will bring the total of the company up to $150,000, which has been acknowledged by Secretary McAdoo as being the largest subscription in government securities ever taken by a company comprised wholly of members of our race. Private Needham Roberts of Trenton, N. J., one of the first members of the old fifteenth to be awarded a French War Cross, who, with Private Henry Johnson defeated twenty or more Germans, is back in the United States. Roberts is now a patient in the base hospital at Lakewood, N. J. He is still suffering from a gun-shot wound in the right elbow, and it is doubtful if he ever will see active service in the trenches again. The young hero proudly wears his Croix de Guerre which was awarded by the French for gallantry under fire, and also a regimental citation which was conferred on the regiment by General Pershing for conspicuous bravery. Before going to Lakewood, N. J., Roberts was a patient at Ellis Island, where he was the cynosure of all eyes. He is a modest young man and not given to bragging about his feats in the trenches. Aside from the wound in the right arm, Roberts was bayoneted in the left hip and fragments of shrapnel entered his right leg. He has been in various hospitals since the engagement with the Germans. Private Henry Johnson, who saved Roberts' life and was twice honored by the French for driving off the Hun, was only injured in the foot and is said to be back with his regiment on the firing line. NO. 52. CERTAIN MOVIE PLAYS. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, announces that in the interests of national unity it has begun a nation-wide campaign against certain movie plays which serve to stir up race antagonisms between white and colored people and against unduly offensive caricatures of colored people. "The recent patriotic action of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio and that of the Council of Defense of West Virigian in accomplishing the withdrawal from the movie theatres of their respective states of the objectionable film, 'The Birth of a Nation,' is a very gratifying evidence of the kind of result the association wishes to see made nation-wide," says the association's statement. "At the request of Governor Cox the producers of 'The Birth of a Nation' have agreed to withdraw the film for the period of the war. In West Virginia the Council of Defense considered that this movie film should not be shown at the present time and prohibited its appearance." Similar action has been taken in one or two other states, and in some cities, both north and south, and efforts are being made to bar the film from cantonments, the association declares. An appeal has been made by the association to the State Councils of National Defense and to the governors of all the states to follow the example of Ohio and West Virginia and secure the suspension of the production during the war, either by the voluntary action of the producers or by legal mandate, if necessary. The association asks the public, particularly Liberty loan and war workers, to refrain, as far as possible, from unduly offending the sensibilities of colored people by thoughtless caricatures of Negroes. "Some of the movie caricatures objected to appear in patriotic films in which the offensive result is due obviously to lack of imagination and not to malice," says the association. "We do not believe it to be an unreasonable request," continues the appeal, "to ask those responsible for movie and poster art to remember that a new type of Negro has long since, except in the backwoods stage, supplanted the shuffling, flat-footed, watermelon-eating, hat-in-hand, stage monstrosity, as indeed the best artists and illustrators have long ago discovered. But particularly vicious at this time," the association concludes, "are the shameless appeals to race prejudice, which by playing upon the meaner hatreds of a baser sort, stir up passions which can only result in repetitions of such outbreaks as the recent Philadelphia riots."

WOMEN'S ARMY TO BUILD MORALE Happy Idea Meeting.Hearty Response Among Patriotic Women. A new "army" has been born. It is called the "Sunshine Division," and it is made up of women—mostly young women—who are eager to become a part of definite organized effort to help win the war. The soldiers will not bear arms and court death like their sisters among the Russians. Instead, their line of duty will have to do with service that will strengthen morale, and help win the war by promoting life among the American and allied soldiers, rather than death among the enemy—the final result, according to A literary discovery has just been made at the monastery of Mekitaristra, in the island of St. Lazarus, at Venice. A pet monkey had climbed to the top of a bookcase, where it seized hold of a bundle of papers, and, breaking the string, showered down a number of letters, the ink of which had become yellow with age. They proved to be a long correspondence between Lord Byron and the monks of St. Lazarus, with whom he had once resided. All Wool.

The "women soldiers" of the Sunshine Division will enjoy a definiteness of war work which they have not had before unless they have become members of the leading war work agencies, such as the Red Cross. The plan, which had its inception with a group which composed the concert party headed by Miss Wilson, the president's daughter, which gave concerts in all the army camps, suggests a happy and suitable disposal of the available time and talent of patriotic young women not engaged in definite war activity.

UNCLE SAM'S ADVICE ON FLU U. S. Public Health Service Issues Official Health Bulletin on Influenza. LATEST WORD ON SUBJECT. Epidemic Probably Not Spanish In Origin—Germ Still Unknown—People Should Guard Against "Droplet Infection"—Surgeon General Blue Makes Authoritative Statement. Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—Although King Alfonso of Spain was one of the victims of the influenza epidemic in 1893 and again this summer, Spanish authorities repudiate any claim to influenza as a "Spanish" disease. If the people of this country do not take care the epidemic will become so widespread throughout the United States that soon we shall hear the disease called "American" influenza. In response to a request for definite information concerning Spanish influenza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service has authorized the following official interview: What is Spanish Influenza? Is it something new? Does it come from Spain? "The disease now occurring in this country and called 'Spanish Influenza' resembles a very contagious kind of 'cold,' accompanied by fever, pains Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases As Dangerous as Poison Gas Shells in the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and a feeling of severe sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recovering. Some of the patients, however, develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called 'Spanish' influenza is identical with the epidemics of influenza of earlier years is not yet known. "Epidemics of influenza have visited this country since 1647. It is interesting to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencha, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the disease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and thence over practically the entire civilized world. Three years later there was another flare-up of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread widely over the United States. "Although the present epidemic is called 'Spanish influenza,' there is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call attention to the fact that the Germans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front in the summer and fall of 1917." How can "Spanish influenza" be recognized? "There is as yet no certain way in which a single case of 'Spanish influenza' can be recognized. On the other hand, recognition is easy where there is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in the cold months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic raged most intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the case of ordinary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza. Finally, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does influenza. "In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather suddenly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the patients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relatively slow. "In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelids may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or 'congested,' as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked; nevertheless the patient looks and feels very sick. "In addition to the appearance and the symptoms as already described, examination of the patient's blood may aid the physician in recognizing 'Spanish influenza,' for it has been found that in this disease the number of white corpuscles shows little or no increase above the normal. It is possible that the laboratory investigations now being made through the National Research Council and the United States Hygienic Laboratory will furnish a more certain way in which individual cases of this disease can be recognized." What is the course of the disease? Do people die of it? "Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to four days and the patient recovers. But while the proportion of deaths in the present epidemic has generally been low, in some places the outbreak has been severe and deaths have been numerous. When death occurs it is usually the result of a complication." What causes the disease and how is it spread? "Bacteriologists who have studied influenza epidemics in the past have found in many of the cases a very Small rod-shaped germ called, after its discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same kind of disease there were found pneumococci, the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by streptococci, and by others germs with long names. "No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now believed that influenza is always spread from person to person, the germs being carried with the air along with the very small droplets of mucus, expelled by coughing or sneezing, forceful talking, and the like by one who already has the germs of the disease. They may also be carried about in the air in the form of dust coming from dried mucus, from coughing and sneezing, or from careless people who spit on the floor and on the sidewalk. As in most other catching diseases, a person who has only a mild attack of the disease himself may give a very severe attack to others." What should be done by those who catch the disease? "It is very important that every person who becomes sick with influenza should go home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide. It is highly desirable that no ope be allowed to sleep in the same room with the patient. In fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room. "If there is cough and sputum or running of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such discharges are collected on bits of gauze or rag or paper napkins and burned. If the patient complains of fever and headache, he should be given water to drink, a cold compress to the forehead and a light sponge. Only such medicine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the drummist to prescribe and may be dangerous to take the so-called 'safe, sure and harmless' remedies advertised by patent medicine manufacturers. "If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others in the family, it is advisable that such attendant wear a wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the sick room and slip this off when leaving to look after the others. "Nurses and attendants will do well to guard against breathing in dangerous disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauze or mask while near the patient." Will a person who has had influenza before catch the disease again? "It is well known that an attack of measles or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against another attack of the same disease. This appears not to be true of 'Spanish influenza.' According to newspaper reports the King of Spain suffered an attack of influenza during the epidemic thirty years ago, and was again stricken during the recent outbreak in Spain." How can one guard against influenza? "In guarding against disease of all kinds, it is important that the body be kept strong and able to fight off disease germs. This can be done by having a proper proportion of work, play and rest, by keeping the body well clothed, and by eating sufficient wholesome and properly selected food. In connection with diet, it is well to remember that milk is one of the best all-around foods obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as a disease like influenza is concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation between its spread and overcrowded homes. While it is not always possible, especially in times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowding to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. "When crowding is unavoidable, as in street cars, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to inhale directly the air breathed out by another person. "It is especially important to beware of the person who coughs or sneeze without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuffy places as much as possible, keep homes, offices and workshops well alred, spend some time out of doors each day, walk to work if at all practicable—in short, make every possible effort to breathe as much pure air as possible. "In all health matters follow the advice of your doctor and obey the regulations of your local and state health officers." "Cover up each cough and sneeze, if you don't you'll spread disease."

THE Republican ticket, which appears elsewhere in this paper, comprises those possessed of the highest qualifications of character, efficient ability and who stands for an upright, clean and progressive government. There is no man or woman in the State of Colorado who has the right of franchise, who has had an opportunity to vote for a cleaner set of candidates than those herein named, and it behooves every voter to avail themselves of this right on election day by doing your duty at the polls. This duty is one that should demand the attention of the Negro especially, as the election of this ticket means no little amount of patronage in the way of political appointments for the race; not only that, but the administration will stand for a better government for the masses. Let us not forget these facts and make it a landslide for Republican victory. To speak of each individual on the ticket would be to commend them in the highest terms. The Negro vote has always been counted upon to turn the tide, and let it be said at the close of the polls that we did our work up to the handle by electing the Republican ticket with a majority that will cause no contet. THOUGH it is known by Coloradoans that we are Republican in politics, that we have been for the years of our existence, yet for the benefit of the increased number of electors who have been qualified to exercise the franchise since our last state election, and who have forever renounced the Southland in their resolution to become members of this city and state, we are glad to have another opportunity of making the emphatic declaration that we are Republican pure and simple in party politics, that we are not astride the fence, playing Republican and Democrat at the same time, with the same breath, and under the guise of the false, deceiving middle course—STRICTLY INDEPENDENT IN POLITICS. This milk that is being fed to us would wish a return to infancy of the Negro in politics, but with our experience of what has been accomplished by our race, by the other side, by the nation under Republican and Democratic administration whether in city, state or nation, we ask the people of Colorado with all seriousness, how can they return Democrats to participate in any phase of our governing body, and especially addressing ourselves to the members of our race, how can we at this time especially entertain any other idea than proving by the ballot on Tuesday, November 5th, that there is no guessing, but a sane, sound, logical reasoning and determination to defeat every Democrat whose name appears on the ballot and give the decisive proof that we are determined to avenge the wrongs, insults, barbarous and savage-like actions that have been engaged in, condoned and endorsed by the party in power and its supporters? For God sake, let us throw off this tom-foolery of "I am neither Republican or Democrat, just a supporter of the man—independent—vote for whom I please," as this is a Democrat propaganda. He applauds this expression, as he knows or is fully convinced that it comes from a source that will not in the end be harmful to his party and his party's cause. $\Lambda$ glimpse of some facts that are fresh in the minds of Denverites will help to bear out our idea of being on one side of the fence and that Republican. The treatment of the Negro in this country since the first administration of our present president has been reflected in every state and city of our United States, resulting in more abuse, greater segregation, increased lawlessness and a disposition of the South to boldly assert their opposition to certain clauses in our constitution, which provide for equal human right and liberty. In Denver we have as great an evidence as anywhere else of the ignoring of city ordinances pertaining to equal civil rights. In our state legislature—the Twenty-first general assembly, this has been the first time that a Negro has been, during the session, conspicuous by his or her absence in some capacity or other; that when representations were made even by the few fool-hardy Negroes that pride in being called Democrat Negroes, the scrap-heap and junk-pile of jobs were given them, the same being accepted, which corresponded to the acme of their ambition. Again, a collusion between our state and city Democratic officials opened up some other menial jobs for our people, and with the instruction of strictly obey the mandates of their Democratic lords and masters, they have the cheek to be remarking about the jobs they have and the wages attached, continuing the deception to result in the support which they are now asked to give. Even our independent (?) Negro newspaper, after denouncing an element of the Democratic party and asking us to think of the brutalities and atrocities under this regime, and to prescribe a remedy for "the Hun within," falls a victim, and extols Democratic candidates for state jobs. These are a few of the gross inconsistencies that we have experienced and in spite of these proofs this intelligent body of electors in Colorado is asked to return them, to which THE COLORADO STATESMAN clearly and unmistakably says NO. Defeat the whole Democratic ticket from governor, secretary of state, legislator, etc., to the bigger and greater, senator and congressman. You can't advocate Noland, Democrat, for state secretary and denounce Shafroth for United States senator. This is a Democratic puzzle—this is the other side of the game—DEMOCRATS AT VARIANCE. There was never a time in their history that they never got together and "buried the hatchet" election eve. This is our only opportunity to prove that we realize and can distinguish between the good and the bad, therefore, get busy, fellow Republicans, and not only endorse the whole REPUBLICAN TICKET, but do your whole duty today by showing to our thousands of newly qualified voters that our Republican candidates for senator, congressman, governor and every other position are the men to be entrusted with our destiny. A Republican state means a contribution to a Republican Congress. Help us to hasten the time, and speed up the restoration to a wholesome, strong administration, conversant with the people's wants, sympathetic with their endeavors to go higher, advance and conquer and to establish a reputation as a true democracy that can combat the challenge of the world for the good done at home as well as abroad. Remember, men and women, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, the originator, the provider of that which gives and offers THE LARGER HUMAN LIBERTY for all races and peoples, and vote for the whole ticket on Tuesday, November 5th.

Is Doing in Field to "Keep the Soldier Human" PETER B. scraps of old paper, how they enjoy anything fresh which will "take them out of themselves" for a little while, I could describe from personal experience and illustrate by many a pathetic anecdote, but there is no need. You can imagine it. And then you can go on to imagine also the gratitude which the soldier feels to the Y. M. C. A. for the loan of books which he can put in his pack and take with him into the line to help while away the weary hours of which there are so many in war. I have seen men come into a Y. M. C. A. library and tell the librarian that his books have saved them from going melancholy mad. Next the soldier is for a time "in support," that is to say in trenches and dugouts a short distance behind the front line. Here he may begin to be indebted to the Y. M. C. A. for other advantages. I have known Y. M. C. A. canteens to be established actually under the enemy's fire for the benefit of the men in support. Here they can buy cigarettes, chewing gum, biscuits. They can drink a cup of tea or coffee. They can feel that there is a link between them and the world behind the lines. How much that means only those who have been in the trenches can appreciate. Then comes a spell of being "in reserve." This is passed in some ruined town or village or in a camp of tin huts. The soldier now has plenty of leisure—what can he do with it? You know that one of the pleasures of life is shopping. This is supposed by many people to be a woman's pleasure, but my experience is that men enjoy shopping too. In ruined villages, in tin-hut camps, there would be no shops just as there would be no cafes, no libraries, no writing rooms, if it were not for the Y. M. C. A. Ask any soldier how the army would get on without the Y. M. C. A. He will tell you that it would get on very badly indeed. Go into any Y. M. C. A. canteen at any hour of the day and you will understand why. They are at the same time clubs and stores. They offer refreshment both for the body and the mind. They are well stocked with useful things, such as soap, toothbrushes and other simple toilet necessaries. They offer also a wide choice of more attractive purchases from canned fruits to picture postcards. And when the soldier has bought what he needs or fancies, or merely looked around and kept money in his pocket, he can sit down, order something to drink, meet his friends, read the papers, write letters. A soldier said to me once, "It's the Y. M. C. A. that keeps us human." It does what no other organization is doing or could do. Amid the dreariness of the war zone, in the monotonous life of the troops in the field, the Red Triangle shines with steady, comforting glow. There could in my opinion be no better way of spending a hundred million dollars than giving the Y. M. C. A. the fullest opportunity to make the soldier more comfortable and more contented with his lot. Don't Let Silent, Ghostly Hun Sentiment Find Lodgment in Your Brain Dy C. M. WRIGHT, American Alliance for Labor and Democracy The Hun fights wherever there is a chance to break down civilization's resistance. And one of those chances is among the folks at home. If the will to win breaks down in the homes and shops and mills at home the boys at the front will have a much harder time holding back the Hun army. It is as dangerous to have Hun sentiment get a footing back of the lines as it would be to have an armed Hun force execute a flank movement and get in behind our fighting lines. So look out for the Hun at home. Be a traffic cop to help steer the attacking current as it should go. And don't stop at watching the Hun sentiment of the noisy, blatant kind. Watch for the silent, ghostly Hun sentiment that worms its way in and out, elusive and treacherous. There are ghost Huns, as well as heavy-browed flesh-and-blood ones. The ghost Hun is an idea; an idea that gets into the heads of careless persons, warping their thoughts, coming from perhaps nowhere in particular but creating havoc as it goes. Keep your head straight. Keep your country's ideals before you and plug for them; plug hard for victory. Don't let a ghost Hun find lodgment in your brain. Keep liberty's blazing torch in view and liberty's flaming, inspiring purpose before you. Reconstruction Period Will Place Heavy Demands on Youth of Today By LELAND S. PARKE, State Club Leader, University of Arizona A reconstruction period of stupendous proportions is ahead of us. It will place heavy demands on our youth of today. Since our entrance into the war necessity has forced us to accept modern science in many phases. Almost unbelievable progress in more than a thousand ways has been made. To hold the ground gained and to make it secure for all time to come means that we should "speed up" and "tune up" our educational machinery in every possible way. The training of the young, ambitious youth, with his plastic, responsive mind, is without doubt our best means for guaranteeing such security. The world is looking up to America today. Our ability to do big things in a big way has been an "eye-opener" to every nation on the globe. With America on the crest of world progress not a stone should be left unturned to keep her there for all time to come. Thanks to the foresight of our leading educators, who are bending every energy give our boys and girls every advantage that modern science and modern thought can afford. By LORD NORTHCLIFFE, Editor of London Times Have you ever tried to picture for yourself the life of the soldier in the field? Let me draw you an outline. What I describe I have seen during my many visits to the allied fronts. While he is "in the line," as he calls it, which means holding the front positions, he is fixed to one particular spot. He has duties which occupy a large part of his time. His recreation is limited to smoking, chatting and reading.

Needham Whitmar, who has been ailing for some time, is much improved. Jordan White, an employé of United States National Bank, is enjoying his vacation. Mrs. Alice White Hall left last week for Los Angeles , Cal., for an indefinite visit. Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Gash are the proud parents of a fine son, born Sunday, Oct. 13. Mr. and Mrs. James Waddell returned to the city after a very pleasant visit to Lawrence and Kansas City, Kansas. Horace Rice, former popular Denverite, is lying seriously ill in Chicago with influenza. His many friends offer their sympathy and hope a speedy Walter Collier was called to St. Louis, Mo., last week to be at the bedside of his sister, who is very ill. J. W. Levell, who has been on a two weeks' vacation, returned to his work last Wednesday. Willa, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell of 2517 Marion street, was buried Tuesday at Riverside, Cammell & Co. in charge. Mrs. Mable Lewis Lawrence, who has been living in Lawrence, Kansas, for the past two years, returned to the city last week and is living at 1017 Bannock street. Geo. S. ConteeGeo. S. Contee left Sunday, Oct. 6, for Washington, D. C., to visit his mother and other relatives. He will visit other Eastern cities before returning home. Mrs. Alice Eades received the sad news last week of the death of her sister, Mrs. Mary Evans of Leavenworth, Kansas, who died Wednesday, Oct. 9. Mrs. Eades has the sympathy of her many friends in her sad bereavement. Fred Lankford, leader of the Ideal Musical Trio, returned last Wednesday from Lordsburg, New Mexico, where, with our popular musician Scott Edwards, they had a very good season. The former leaves within a few days for New York. H. Coleman, who has served the exclusive Denver Club as waiter on the staff of Tom Williams, has been rewarded for his faithful services by succeeding to the position of captain of the bellmen with a substantial increase of salary. Tom, the head waiter, never hesitates to recommend his assistants for meritorious work, hence this is another proof of good leadership and the result of devotion to duty of the follower. Curtis Harris, our genial and popular Denverite, returned from his usual summer outing at Estes Park, looking very fat and much improved in health. He was a welcome visitor to our office, and promises to give the public, through our columns, some important information on the greatness to be achieved and the good to result therefrom in our people when their efforts are united. Mr. Harris was accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Edna Clark, who will leave next Tuesday for her home in Indianapolis. In honor of her —? birthday, Mrs. Jennie DeShatio entertained a few friends last Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. D. D. Rivers, 225 W. 11th Avenue. It was an event long to be remembered, made so by the congenial guests as well as the sumptuous repast, which consisted of—well everything that heart could wish. Cards, music and recitations sandwiched the program which made the evening one of bliss. Mrs. DeShatio, who has no superior in the art of entertaining, was warmly congratulated for the same. The guests departed at a late hour wishing her many returns of the happy event. --- Denver, Colo., Oct. 14, 1918. J. D. D. Rivers, Editor, The Colorado Statesman: Dear Sir—Will you please allow space for answer to the article which appeared in your issue of the 12th inst. under caption, "Segregation in Municipal Chorus." The article states among other things, that on account of my being a member of this chorus, I am much embarrassed as I feel that I will soon be made to know that I am an unwelcome member of the chorus. In reply, I wish to state here plainly this this portion of said article is either plain fabrication or very faulty imagination, or perhaps a little of both For since I have belonged to this chorus there has nothing occurred nor do I fear that anything will occur which will be calculated to make me feel unwelcome.

WOMEN ENLIST IN BATTALION OF LIFE Sunshine Division of Home Service Rivals Battalion of Death in Real War Work. Russia's Battallon of Death made its women immortal by death-defying action at the front. America's Battallon of Life bids fair to merit immortality by its life and strength giving action in the home trenches, connecting directly with the men who go ever the top. A new kind of women's army has come into being. It is called the "Sunshine Division." It started under unusual circumstances. Margaret Woodrow Wilson, the president's daughter, known for her patriotic war service; her aide, Major Oakes, and a small group of friends, including Miss Marjorie Brown of Atlanta, Ga., daughter of one of the leading men of the south, and a relative of the president, were discussing women's part in the war and the importance of enlisting the effort, talent, and activity of every woman in the country. The need of organization and direction of that time and talent not already devoted to definite war work was recognized, and out of the discussion came plans for conserving the patriotic effort of every patriotic woman, and more especially the young women of the country. The "army" to be recruited was designated the "Sunshine Division." Its scope of service is limited only by the ability of the enlisted women to serve, and there is no woman ineligible for service except she who is already doing her utmost to help win the war. Particulars are available from Maj. A. P. Oakes, now stationed at United War Work headquarters, Dallas, Tex. Really Great Victory. It is a conquest when we can lift ourselves above the annoyances of circumstances over which we have no control; but it is a greater victory when we can make those circumstances our helpers, when we can appreciate the good that is in them.—Lucy Larcom. NEW WAR FOOD PROGRAM AFFECTS EVERY KITCHEN NEW WAR FOOD PROGRAM AFFECTS EVERY KITCHEN DRASTIC ORDERS ISSUED TO PUBLIC EATING HOUSES. There are two arms to the Food Administration's 1919 War Program. One of them embraces all the homes in the land; the other reaches into the kitchen of every public eating place and regulates the food there prepared and served. In the hand of the first arm is the New 1919 Home Card, telling the housewife in what her co-operation must consist. Watch for that Home Card. It will be given out the week of Oct. 28. The hand of the second arm carries a Big Stick padded with velvet. "It has not been deemed advisable or necessary at the present time actually to license the operation of public eating houses," announces the United States Food Administration, "but in cases where the patriotic cooperation of such public eating-places can not be secured by other means, the United States Food Administration will not hesitate to secure compliance with its orders through its control of the distribution of sugar, flour and other food supplies." Food Portions Cut Following are the drastic general orders issued to public eating places and effective MONDAY, OCTOBER 21: BREAD: No public eating place shall allow any bread to be brought to the table until the first course is served or shall serve any bread and butter at all except upon request of the guest; nor shall serve bread or toast as a garniture or under meat; nor serve any bakery product which does not contain at least 20 per cent of wheat flour substitutes; nor serve more than 2 ounces of this bread or more than 4 ounces of other less wheat breads at any meal. Exceptions to this latter rule are sandwiches or bread served at boarding camps and rye bread containing 50 per cent or more of pure rye flour. MEAT: Patrons are limited to one kind of meat. They are to be served one chop only to an order, if they desire, and prices reduced accordingly. Reduced portions of ham and bacon are to go into effect and no bacon may be served as a garniture. BUTTER: One-half ounce of butter is the maximum portion to one person. One-half ounce is also the maximum portion of American cheese to be served at one meal. Cheese is not to be served with salads and the making of cheese dishes is discouraged. SUGAR: No candy is to be served after any meal. No more cane or beet sugar icings are to be used on cakes. The order "No sugar bowls on the table" is reiterated. Guests must still ask for sugar and only one teaspoonful a meal is to be served to any one person. CREAM: What is known as "double cream" or "cream de laux" can no longer be served, or any cream containing over 20 per cent of butter fat. CEREALS: The serving of cereals is discouraged as "they are greatly needed by both the Armies and the Allies and are ideal foods to store and transport." Rigid economy in the use of ice and of coffee is also urged upon hotel men Labor Saved. Conservation of labor is recognized as of as great importance as conservation of food. Therefore, the order has gone out that the use of china, linen and silver should be curtailed. "Serve food wherever possible in the plate or dish from which it is to be eaten. Plate service should be established wherever possible; that is, the meat and vegetables comprising the main part of the meal should be placed on one plate instead of served in several side dishes. Service plates should be eliminated. Place only the amount of silverware on the table that is actually to be used for the meal," read the new orders. The old general bill of fare with its great variety of dishes is also to be abolished, since this bill of fare calls for the carrying in the ice boxes of large quantities of food liable to spoilage. Three simple bills of fare for each day, each with a limited number of dishes, changed from day to day to give variety, are recommended in its stead. Table d'hote meals are also sternly frowned on since they encourage waste. "Serve only what the guest is going to eat" is the new slogan. In addition, hotel and restaurant men are ordered to display no food in such manner as shall cause its deterioration so that it cannot be used for human consumption, to feed all waste to animals instead of burning it, and to trim and save all coarse fats from meat before cooking, that these fats may be used by munitions and soap manufacturers. REGARDING THE NEW MILL FEEDS PLEDGE REGARDING THE NEW MILL FEEDS PLEDGE A simple pledge of honor is more binding to an American than a signed and witnessed treaty is to a German. That is why Herbert Hoover, foreseeing a disastrous shortage of wheat mill feeds and consequent loss of dairy herds, simply turned to the farmers of America and asked them to pledge themselves on their honor to use wheat feeds for no other purpose than the feeding of dairy cattle, poultry and young pigs and calves, and to keep no more than a sixty-day supply of wheat mill feeds on hand. He KNEW that the farmer's pledge handed to the miller from whom he bought his feed was as good as a LIBERTY bond, would be enforced by his conscience without policing or inspection, and would be kept cheerfully because of the farmer's own far-sighted good sense.

Most Famous of Thrones. Greatness is achieved, not by direct and eager chase, but while we are looking for something else. It is the little things we get by hot endeavor. The great things come to us, as it were around a corner. We never become beautiful, or eloquent, or popular, or happy, or intellectual, or even good, by hard labor. Whatever we get of such things will come to us when we are most self-forgetful, and most absorbed in the service of our kind.—Edward Judson. The peacock throne formed part of the interior decoration of a costly building in Delhi, the ancient capital of the Mogul empire in India. The throne had the figures of two peacocks standing behind it, their tails expanded and the whole so inlaid with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, pearls and other precious stones as to represent real peacock plumage. The throne, valued at several million dollars, was carried off by invading armies and now figures in a palace in Persia. At Our Best. There are some men and some women in whose company we are always at our best. While with them we cannot think mean thoughts or speak ungenerous words. Their mere presence is elevation, purification, sanctity. All the best stops in our nature are drawn out by their intercourse, and we find a music in our souls that was never there before.

It may not be generally known that it is quite easy to take out ink stains with common soda. Damp the stain with cold water and then cover it with soda. Leave it for about an hour, till the stain completely disappears. It does not leave a mark after. In life's universal garden We have each to hoe our row, And to make life worth the living We must hoe, hoe, hoe. LEFTOVER FISH. HERE are many possibilities in small amounts of left-over fish. In these days of much canning, one may have a large variety from which to choose. National New Garden Commission Shepherd's Pie. Take two cupfuls of flaked fish, place in Gauze with a crescent a baking dish. Cover with a sauce made with one tablespoonful of fat and one of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of pepper, with a cupful of beef soup broth. Cover the sauce with a mashed potato, brush with cream and bake brown in the oven. Fish Turbot—Scald a cupful of cream. Rub together a tablespoonful of butter and two of flour; add the scalded cream and stir until it thickens. Add four tablespoonfuls of bread-crumbs, set over hot water and cook for five minutes. Take from the fire, add two cooked egg yolks, two cupfuls of fish, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley and salt and paprika to taste. Fill greased shells or souffle dishes, brush over the top with beaten egg and brown in the oven. Delmonico Halibut—Beat the yolk of an egg into a half cupful of mashed potato. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add a tablespoonful of cornstarch; stir until smooth and thick over the heat, after adding two cupfuls of rich milk; take from the fire, add another egg yolk, two cupfuls of cooked fish and the seasoning needed. Fill a greased baking dish with alternate layers of potato and fish. Cover the top with buttered crumbs, sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bake 20 minutes in a hot oven. Codfish Balls.—Wash and pick over one cupful of codfish, shredding it into small pieces. Add fish to two cupfuls of diced potatoes, uncooked. Cook until the potatoes are tender, drain, mash and beat with a fork until light. Add a tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of cream, one beaten egg and salt and paprika to taste. Make into balls, cover with egg and crumbs and fry in hot fat. A cupful of any leftover fish, or even a few tablespoonfuls, may be added to a potato salad or any vegetable salad. A little leftover salmon mixed with coconut, cabbage and a chopped pleckle to give an acid touch, and dressed with a plain boiled dressing, is a good salad combination. There was never a night without a day, Or an evening without a morning; And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes, Is the hour before the dawning. JUST A FEW LEFTOVERS. LACE a slice of tomato on nicely browned and buttered toast, sprinkle with grated cheese, salt, paprika, and with bits of butter. Place in the oven until the cheese is melted. National War Garden Commission Cream of Turnip and Potato Soup.—Pour three cupfuls of scalded milk over one-fourth cupful of mashed potatoes and three-fourths of a cupful of mashed turnip. Strain through a fine sieve. Melt a tablespoonful of butter, stir in a tablespoonful of flour, and cook until bubbling hot and smooth after adding the hot milk mixture. Serve very hot with rye bread croutons. If the soup is too thick add a little more milk. This year there was a bumper crop of tomatoes in most localities. After all the pickled, canned, and spiced tomatoes are put up, use the rest for: Home-Made Tomato Paste.—Wash and scald the tomatoes without peeling them. Strain through a fine sleeve to remove all seeds, then boil until thick. Put into glass jars and keep cool and dry. This paste is a most valuable addition to the fruit closet as it is fine for flavoring soups and sauces. It is condensed so that a little goes a long way in flavoring. Scallop of Egg Plant—Chop the remnants of friend egg plant rather coarse. Arrange in ramkins in layers with well-buttered cracker crumbs. Pour enough milk over so that it can just be seen and brown in a hot oven. This dish resembles oysters in taste. Victoria Meat—Melt three teaspoonfuls of butter, stir in three teaspoonfuls of flour, one-fourth of a teaspoon of salt, a little paprika, bay leaf, and two slices of onion; add one cupful of stock and one-half cupful of tomato juice, stirring constantly. When slightly thickened add four mushrooms cut in pieces, one and a half cupfuls of meat cut in pieces and a cupful of cooked drained peas. With highly seasoned stock this is a most tasty fish. Serve in croustades or timbale case. Any leftover chicken may be served in a sauce with a slice of onion and other seasonings covered with rich baking powder biscuit and baked in a pie or in individual dishes. A little chicken with a good flavored sauce will make a substantial dish. Nellie Marwell German Agent Is Using His Whis- pering Propaganda. PROOF IS NEVER SUBMITTED Centers Efforts on Religious, Racial, Agricultural, Commercial and Such Topics as Are Likely to Cause Friction. rom the Committee on Public Informa- _tion, Washington, D. C.)_ (This is the second of three articles by Mr. O'Higxins dealing with the propa- ganda of the enemy in our country.) Tn a previous article we have noted how the German agents in this coun- try are using thelr “whispering propa- ganda” to set us aginst the French, the British and the Japanese by cir- culating among us all sorts of slanders and {Ml reports against these allies. In the campaign to promote domestic dis- unity the pro-German rumor-monger has been even busier. He ts working here exuctly as he worked in Italy, upon religious prejudices. He has spread the report that the Masonic orders have protested to the govern- ment against the Knights of Columbus being permitted to build reereation huts in the camps. No such protest was ever made. He has circulated stories that Catholic nuns were refused permission to do Red Cross work un- less they wore Red Cross uniforms, and that Catholic soldiers—and Jewish soldiers—were being diseriminated against by Red Cross officials, All such stories are outright inventions. At the same time he passes around every kind of rumor of Catholic dis- loyalty, such as the famous one that President Wilson's secretary, a Cath- olic, had been exeented for treason. He has filled the mails with printed copies of an alleged “bloody oath of the Knights of Columbus,” giving it on the pretended authority of the Con- gressional Record. It was printed in the Record because {t was read into a debate before the house of repre- sentatives on an eleetion protest, in order that it might be denounced as a forgery and a libel upon a Catholic candidate, A pro-Germun agent has been eaught distributing copies of this “ploody oath" in New Jersey and sent to prison for it. How the Kaiser Poses. In Spain and the Catholic countries of South America the kaiser poses as “the champion of Catholic Bavaria and Catholic Austria against Protestant England, Infidel France, and social- istic Ttaly, the enemy of the Vatican.” He does not preserve that pose in Catholic Belgium or Catholle Poland. And in America the kaiserlte uses this very cliim of the kaiser to arouse enmity ngainst the Catholics, Just as in Italy the German agent used {t in an unsuccessful attempt to seduce the Italian Catholies, and now in Amer- ica accuses the Italian Catholics of having succumbed to the seduction, AS a matter of fact, the Catholic chap- Jains In the Italian army were among the first to discover this propaganda among the soldiers, reported it to the officers, and combated it diligently. Various persons and publications that made a living out of sectarian animosities before the war are uncon- sclously doing the work of the enemy by assisting the spread of anti-Cath- olie and anti-Protestant — slanders. ‘They can only be stopped by an appeal to public reprobation. ‘They are rep- resenting the trouble In Ireland as purely a religious trouble, and the opposition to conscription in Quebec as the same sort of thing. Even Rud- yard Kipling recently fell into the trap and denounced the pope and the kaiser and the neutrals in one breath, Such denunciations overlook the fuect that Cardinal Mereter, the Catholic prelate of Belgium, has been the most effective popular opponent of the kaiser that Hurope has produced. ‘This is a war of nations, not of creeds, Frussin is as Protestant a nation as England is, and Belgium and Poland as Catholic as Austria, Anyone who raises the religious question in Amer- fea today is acting as a German agent, whether he knows it or not, as truly as if he were blowing up muni- tion plants. All loyal eltizens should discourage him. Aggravating Our Race Problems. Among the negroes the German prop. ngandist first begar work in the South and failed. He has been more sue: cessful in the middie West, where the presence of a large loyal German popu: lation gives him better cover. He 4 promising the negroes that the katse1 will give them social equality with the whites. An agent, recently captured tr New York, was offering the negroe: a “Black republic’ under Germar srotection, and he was denounced t¢ the authorities by the negroes them selves, Another was spreading report: vf discriminations against negro sol aiers in the camps, reporting that the negroes were being trained as “shock troops” to be sacrificed in the front Iines, and even circulating a story that the German military authorities ha¢ ordered all negro prisoners - killed ‘Thus far this sort of German effort te aggravate a race problem has peen at absurd failure. Its only danger is tha ft may lead to charges of disloyalty against our colored citizens and a sus picion of them which is not justified disioyaity. Wiseourage sucn a preju- dice wherever you find it, Mr. Citizen. It is being promoced by the kalserite, The Truth About Price Fixing. It Is not true that there has been an attempt “to regulate the prices of farm products.” ‘There has been no attempt to regulate the price of any farm product but wheat, The allied governments in Europe had set up sine gle agencies to buy food supplies in America, ‘Their purchases of Ameri- can wheat were sufficient to control the price. ‘They could drain America of Its wheat and leave our poorer classes to starve. In order that rich and poor might be trented ullke, It was necessary to establish a govern ment control of price and distribution, ‘And the price of $2.20 a bushel for ‘No. 1 northern wheat based on Chi engo was agreed upon by an independ- ent commission, appointed by Prest- dent Wilson, upon whick commission the farming community was represent- ed by six members out of eleven. In some instances the food admin- istration has intervened, at the re- quest of the producers, to obtain a se tlement in a local dispute about the price of milk. In the case of pork products the food administration, on the recommendation of the producers, undertook to use the purchases of the allied governments for the purpose of maintaining a minimum price for lve hogs In Chicago. Beyond this invited assistance In the case of rillk and pork, and the regulation of the price of wheat, the food administeation has not Interfered with the price of farm products, except In so far as the con- trel of sugar prices hus affected the price of sugar beets. The Truth About Profiteering. ‘Those measures of food control have been directed more ageinst the middle man than the producer, While fixing for the farmer an arbitrated price for his wheat, they have established a system of Icensing, by which millers, bakers, grocers and wholesale and re- tail dealers have been prevented from profiteering on the farmer's dollar. The fuel administration has fixed the price of coal, because the miner would not work for reasonable wages as long as the mine owner was making an un- reasonable gain, Profiteering in army and navy contracts and in shipbuild- ing has been stopped by the power ob- tained from congress to fix the price at cost plus a reasonable profit; and the Increase in cost has gone to the workman, not to his employer. AIL profiteering has not yet been ended. The way to end it has not been found in any country. But the tax on ex- cess profits and on swollen Incomes: confiseates the Micit harvest and pours: it Into the country’s war chest, ‘The grievances that remain are not class grievances. ‘They are chiefly the in- eyitable common hardships due to a war that has drawn millions of pro- ductive workers into. the world’s armies and inereased the cost of the necessaries of life by decreasing the available supply. In that hardship the farmers share, as we all share. Kaiserites on Both Sides. Along with this campaign to set the farmer against the government's war measures there has been proceeding a twin campaign to arouse feeling against him by accusing his western farmers’ leagues of disloyalty. ‘That is equally a work in aid of the enemy. ‘The western farmers have contributed their quotas to enlistments ard to the drafts as loyally as any citizens. ‘They have subscribed to the Liberty loans and contributed to the war re- lief work with unfailing patriotism, They have had their quarrels with the men whom they suspected of exploit ing them, Just as labor has had its quarrels with its employers, But it is an economie quarrel, and as long as. it is conducted without interfering with the nation’s war work the charge of disloyalty is itself traitorous. In all these disputes it is certain that enemy agents will be found on both sides. They at once preach violence among the I, W. W.s, and lead mobs. to attack workmen accused of being I. W. Ws. They play the same game in every quarrel with which they can hope to divide the country. Beware, Mr. Citizen, of any attempt to make you believe that any class of Ameri- can citizens, as a class, are disloyal. It is a German le. ‘The: Pareon:. At an Ashland avenue home they have the fashion of giving names to chickens and other creatures about the place. Some days ago the mother bought a fine black rooster in market. “We'll name him ‘the Parson,” said the mother. A few days later the new preacher and his wife were invited to dinner. ‘They were in the parlor awaiting the event. Margaret, age six, came hur riedly into the next room. ‘There the mother admonished her to be on her good behavior, “for today,” said moth- er, “we have the parson for dinner.” “No, no, mainma,” said Margaret, “Don't you know we killed and ate the Parson three days ago.” ‘his cannibalistic statement, over- heard in the parlor, created some dis quiet until mamma made an explana- tion.—Indianapolis News.

TEACHING FLYERS “STUNTS” Aviation Students to Learn the Acro- batics Quickly or Not at All—War Department Compels the Making of Clinical Thermometers. UqUN TAUPE ee chert SEC a ar nel et aaa eS am of war has approved the recommends tions of General March, chief of staff, ‘to graduate the two upper classes at the United States Military academy on November 1, and to authorize a one- year course at West Point for the re- mainder of the war. It 1s proposed to utilize this valuable and expensive institution, the war department an- nounces, to the limit during the period of the war, The number of cadets graduated each year from West Point 1s now only about 200. Under the new system {t will be possible to graduate 1,000 officers a year. Vacancies resulting from the gradu- ation of the two upper classes will be filled by the war department, If pos- sible, by the admission on November 1, 1918, of qualified candidates. Ap- pointments will be made in the usual way—throngh senators and represent- atives in congress, and other customary channels, ‘The war department de- sires that candidates to be admitted on November 1 shall be not under eighteen years of age on that date. ‘As the result of an investigation by the war department, following the failure of the medical department to obtain a supply of clinical thermome- ters except at what were considered exorbitant prices, the general staff has ordered 18 manufacturers in different parts of the country to furnish about 668,000 of the instruments, which are urgently needed here and abroad. Under these orders the war depart- ment will not only take the entire stock of clinical thermometers now manufactured, but will require the fac- torles to produce In large quantities for 20 weeks. The compulsory order specifies that the entire quantity must be delivered by February 10, 1919. The price of clinical thermometers has advanced in the past year from 25 cents and 30 cents to 50 cents and 60 cents each. ‘The investigations of the milltury authorities disclosed a combi- nation between the glass-blowers und the makers of thermometers. ® , ‘Phe prices to be paid by the gov- ernment for the 668,000 thermometers which have been requisitioned will be fixed by the war department board of appraisers, One undertaking in connection with the registration of more than 13,000,- 000 men for the draft, September 12, Is illustrated by figures by Provost Marshal General Crowder. A statis- ticlan In the provost marshal’s office has calculated that {f all the printed forms distributed since August 7 In connection with the work of registra- tlon, classification and mobilization were placed in a pile ten feet square {t would tower above the ground to a height of S87 feet, or more than one und a half times the altitude of Wash- ington monument. Altogether there have been printed and shipped out, since August 7, 224,- 000,000 forms of all kinds, weighing 4,300,000 pounds, and measuring, in the aggregate, 88,787 cubic feet. A total ‘of 44,000 mail sacks were used to carry this vast quantity of matter. ‘The largest number of sacks shipped in a single day was 1,828, These weighed about 88 tons, If these forms were placed in one mail train 143 60-foot postal cars would be required and the train would be one and two-thirds miles long. Placed end to end, the forms would ex- tend 68,044 miles—more than twice the distance around the earth. Many sample cans of tomatoes such ag are used In the army have been found by the inspection branch of the subsistence division, quartermaster corps, to be filled only to three-fourths of an inch of the top, although weigh- Ing the requisite amount. Instructions have been Issued that regardless of weight, the cans must be filled to within three-elghths of an inch of the top. If the cans are not filled to with- in half an inch of the top there is to be @ readjustment of prices and under no circumstances, it 1s announced, will underfilled cans be sent overseas, It has been calculated that if this saving of three-elghths of an Inch were madr nr all cans of tomatoes: pur- cha.‘ vy the army for a year, It would ‘equal 417,000 - cases, costing about $1,500,000. The saving of tin- plate used in the can would equal about 7,000,000 square feet.

It is designed to Inspire the student with confidence in his ship and In his ability; to teach | him the feel of dangerous positions in the air; to actually get into them and out of them safely, and in general to demonstrate to him how much may be accomplished by the proper and skill- ful handling of his plane. | ‘The greatest care {s taken in choos ing Instructors for this work and in selecting the ships or planes to be used.

Others not flying in this stage of Instruction are required to keep entirely away from the terri- tory over which the stunts are being performed. A severe penalty is at- tached to the slightest infringement of this regulation, No student or in- structor is allowed to stunt under 2,000 feet, and practically all of the work in the acrobatic line is done between 2,000 and 4,000 feet. When a student reports to the stage for instruction, he 1s assigned to a teacher who at the first opportunity takes him and performs the requisite evolutions. ‘The student is then given the control und directed to repeat the maneuver, After the third or fourth trial he fs usually able to perform in a creditable manner, However, in no euse does the instructor allow a stu- dent to fly alone.unless he shows him- self well quulified. When a student 4s sent into the air he 1s directed to follow a definite course in gaining his altitude; to turn over his sector, and, if at a sufficient altitude, to do his stunts. It may be that he will have been directed to do a one-turn spin, a two-turn, spin, five loops und three Immelmann turns. Upon returning to the ground he re- ports to his instructor, who has care- fully watched the execution of the stunts and who offers appropriate criti- cism and suggestions. This is repeated several times, and before the student is transferred he again goes up with the Instructor, who estimates whether the former is qualified to advance to the next stage. ‘Troops for the Slavie legion which 1s to be a part of the United States army will soon be recruited under reg- ulations just promulgated by President Wilson. ‘The officers and enlisted men in these regiments will be Jugo-Slays, Czecho-Slavs and Ruthenians, It practicable, companies will be com- posed of members of the same race and this plan of organization will be followed as far as can be in the larger units—battallons. and regiments. Enlisted men for the Slavic legion will be obtained by voluntary indue- tlon from among the members of the races mentioned. They must be resl- dents but not citizens of the United States and not subject to the draft. Enlistments in coal mining regions will not be authorized, Volunteers for this legion will be forwarded by draft boards to depots in the usual manner and will be sent from there to Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina. ‘The weather bureau will publish in {ts National Weather and Crop Bulle- tin a series of charts showing for the country east of the Rocky mountains the southward progression of the earll- est killing-frost date line and the total area covered by killing frost to the date of each issue.

In connection with the campaign for gathexing nut shells for gas masks, it should be borne in mind that nuts are among the richest and most wholesome of our foods. Wherever possible the kernels of the native nuts should be added to the home supply of foods. The hard shells, not the husks, of black walnuts, butternuts, hickory nuts, Persian (English) walnuts, Jap- anese walnuts and the seeds of such fruits as peaches, plums, prunes, apri- cots and olives are exceedingly useful in the making of carbon for gas masks. ‘The shells of pecans and almonds can- not be used. Seven pounds of hard nut shells, or two hundred peach pits, will make enougs carbon for one gas mask. ‘Thousands of tons of coconut shells and shells of cohune nuts from tropical America, and carloads of fruit pits from the Pacific coast are being used. Still the supply 1s not sufficient. Nuts which cannot readily be cracked, those which have become stale with age, or those which have failed to develop plump kernels should be turned over to the Red Cross. Black walnuts and butternuts which are not to be cracked may be sent in without removing the outer husk. Arrange- ments for gathering and shipping nuts, nut shells and fruit pits can be made through the local Red Cross. In cleaning windows, first remove dirt with het, soapy water, then wipe, the panes with a paraffin cloth and polish with a piece of paper. ```markdown ``` DRAFT MACHINERY WORKS SMOOTHLY GENERAL CROWDER AND ASSISTANTS ARE HAVING LITTLE TROUBLE THIS TIME. MEN RESPOND CHEERFULLY War Draws Attention to the Fact That Thousands of Citizens of Alien Birth Do Not Understand the English Language. By ARTHUR W. DUNN Washington.—General Crowder and his assistants in the provost marshal's office are having less difficulty in putting the new draft in operation than they anticipated. Experience with the first draft has been of great benefit. The machinery is in good working order and the men of the country have responded creditably to this demand upon them for more man power. One feature has been added which is expected to be of great assistance. This is the creation of legal advisory boards to aid the local boards in the determination of questions arising under the draft law. It is expected that the advice of the legal boards will save a lot of time at this end of the line. Probably the most gratifying circumstance in connection with the new draft is the cheerful response of the men. The provost marshal general does not expect as much difficulty in regard to slackers as in the first draft. The whole country has grown more patriotic as the war has progressed. War has taught the lesson that more attention should be given to immigrants in the future. When it is found that thousands upon thousands of men of alien birth but who have become American citizens and been drafted into the army, are yet unable to understand the language of the country, it means that there has been a faulty system somewhere. These men could not understand the orders given them, nor did they understand why they were enclosed into military service. Hereafter it would be well to see that immigrants are taught the English language, or at least that they should be compelled to learn it when they become citizens. It might be well also to see to it that the allens living in this country should become citizens, or leave it. We have found a much too large alien population as a result of the draft law. Congressman Walsh of Massachusetts, who has made himself unpopular with the members who want to print everything under the sun in the Congressional Record, and at the same time popularized himself with those who would like to see less waste in government printing, made a strong plea in the house for saving paper and printing bills. He showed that while the government was trying to curtail the use of paper, it was at the same time wasting paper in many ways. Congressman Mapes of Michigan interjected a remark to the effect that the government printing office work this year would cost $12,000,000, while many bureaus go outside and get a great amount of printing done by contract. Because somewhere in the neighborhood of 25,000 physicians have wholly or partially withdrawn from private practice to engage in war work, the public health service has appended to our people to remember that taking care of themselves is one way of expressing patriotism. One-third of the men registered under the first draft were rejected for physical disability, and in a majority of these cases the cause of rejection was some easily preventable or curable defect. Besides making things hum at the producing end, the government is urging firemen in factories and large buildings to aid in avoiding any repetition of last year's uncomfortable coal shortage. According to Van H. Manning, director of the bureau of mines, 45,000,000 tons of coal can be saved yearly by proper building and adjustment of fires, and this without the assistance of any miraculous agencies. Anything that will save 45,000,000 tons of coal for the United States is doing a good deal more than its bit in these war times. Probably the most astounding thing the Germans of higher intelligence have encountered is the manner in which this country has gone into war. They never believed it was possible for the United States to mobilize, equip, train, ship and put into the fighting lines anything like an army. Just why they could not hark back to Civil war days and see how a divided nation raised two armies of great fighting material is a mystery. The Germans have made other errors. First they did not believe this country would go to war; and second they did not believe we could put an army in Europe. They had some reason to believe we would not go to war for the pacifist sentiment was very strong. Then the Germans were misled by the pro-German element in this country. They believed that the Germans in the United States would have nerve enough to revolt and counteract the efforts of this country to be effective on the side of the allies. They had reason to entertain such ideas, but events show how mistaken they were. If there continues to be a firm idea to fight to a decisive victory and dictate terms of peace in Berlin, while that capital is filled with allied troops, then will all the Germans have an opportunity to learn a great deal that they did not know when they drove us into a declaration of war. Neutral countries want peace as well as war countries. The high cost of living has hit the neutrals harder in this particular than it has the war countries with perhaps the exception of Austria. In Holland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark the people are paying dearly for the war and if famine does not come upon them they will be fortunate. The cost of living is less in England and France than in this country, and the cost here is less than in the neutral countries. The first thing Congressman Butler of Pennsylvania did on his return from a tour of inspection in France was to have read to the house an official order issued by General Degoutte of the French army, who commanded a number of American troops during the recent allied advance. When Congressman Butler was visiting divisional headquarters General Degoutte handed him the order, expressly requesting that it be read to the house of representatives in order that members might know in what high esteem the American soldiers are held by their French brothers in arms. Butler translated the order, which proved to be a strong tribute to the Yanks' valor, and after it was read the house arranged to send General Degoutte an engrossed copy of the proceedings, signed by Speaker Clark. The growth of the use of drugs and opiates is likely to figure largely in the coming campaign for and against the adoption of the national prohibition amendment. Congressman Meeker of Missouri made an allusion to the subject in the house and at the same time had printed in the Record a mass of medical data showing that alcohol moderately used was not harmful, but necessary in some cases. At the same time it is doubtful if arguments like these or any other kind will stay the prohibition movement. One of the prominent government officials told a story the other day which is worth repeating. An old colored man whom the official knew had a $100 Liberty bond which some one wanted to buy from him for $96. But the old darky was wise. Why, he asked, should he give up one promise of the United States government to pay him $100 with interest in exchange for the same government's promise to pay him $96 without interest? If everybody who purchases a Liberty bond would stop and think calmly before selling it below par, he could not help but see that the old negro had the right idea. Both the bond and the currency are government promises and one is lacked up by exactly the same security as the other—the honor and resources of the United States. The belief is growing that government ownership of railroads, and of the telegraphs and telephones as well, has come to stay. While there may be many arguments for and against the policy, the most potent factor will be the votes of 2,000,000 men employed in the railroad service whose wages have been increased since the government took over the roads. It is true that the increases did not come out of the revenues of the railroads, but are made up out of the federal treasury. No one knows better than these railroad employees that to return the railroads to private control and management will mean a reduction of their wages; the fact that the wage increases come out of the treasury rather than the earnings of the roads is a sufficient notification to the railroad men as to what will happen if the roads are returned to their former status. These 2,000,000 railroad men will vote to have the properties remain under government control; they will vote for men who will favor government ownership. It is quite likely that the owners of the properties will also be satisfied to have the government continue in control. They are now guaranteed the average dividends of the three years before the war, and that guarantee does not depend upon business conditions or the ideas of boards of directors. It is sure to come from the government. Finally, a large proportion of the former railroad employees in the higher positions are well satisfied. They are in the government service now, assured of their positions, and many of them are getting mighty good salaries. Opinion is divided as to whether or not the courts will sustain the income tax on the salary of the president and federal judges. Some very ridiculous arguments were made about this tax. For instance, it was claimed that the independence of the executive and judiciary were endangered by it as an adverse congress could tax them into submission. An adverse congress desiring to coerce the executive or judiciary by such means could find a shorter cut by refusing to appropriate the salaries of these officials. Before any congress could coerce either the executive or the judiciary to any extent it is quite likely the people would displace that congress with one having more sense. The Spruce Brigade. Ten thousand soldiers of the National army, working like beavers with an army of civilians in the Puget sound woods, are now getting out airplane spruce at the rate of 20,000,000 feet a month. This is due to the genius of Col. Brice P. Disque of the spruce production division of the aviation section of the signal corps. HUNS ACCEPT WILSON TERMS WASHINGTON WARNS NATION TEUTON REPLY MAY NOT FUL- FULL AMERICA'S CONDITIONS. TEXT OF GERMAN REPLY BERLIN AGREES TO WITHDRAW ARMIES, BUT VITAL QUESTIONS NOT SETTLED. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Oct. 14.—The greatest danger facing the people of the United States, officials said here Saturday, was that they might hastily consider Germany's proposition as the unconditional surrender which the co-belligerents demand and relax their efforts to continue the victories at arms and carry over the fourth Liberty loan. On every side in official quarters it was stated that this view of the situation could not be placed before the public too strongly. Text of Germany's Reply to Wilson. "In reply to the questions of the President of the United States of America, the German government hereby declares: "The German government has accented the terms laid down by President Wilson in his address of January the eighth and in his subsequent addresses on the foundation of a permanent peace of justice. Consequently, its object in entering into discussions would be only to agree upon practical details of the application of these terms. The German government believes that the governments of the powers associated with the government of the United States also take the position taken by President Wilson in his address. The German government in accordance with the Austro-Hungarian government, for the purpose of bringing about an armistice, declares itself ready to comply with the propositions of the President in regard to evacuation. "The German government suggests that the President may occasion the meeting of a mixed commission for making the necessary arrangements concerning the evacuation. The present German government which has undertaken the responsibility for this step toward peace, has been formed by conferences and in agreement with the great majority of the Reichstag. The chancellor, supported in all of his actions by the will of this majority, speaks in the name of the German government and of the German people. (Signed.) "SOLF. "Secretary of State, Foreign Office, "Berlin, Oct. 12, 1918." Chicago, Oct. 14.—The text of Germany's reply to President Wilson's inquiry was communicated by the Associated Press Saturday night to William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury just before he delivered a Liberty Loan address at a crowded mass meeting. Mr. McAdoo told the audience the text of the reply and added: "What this government demands, based on President Wilson's messages and speeches, is unconditional surrender, and if the text of this reply is authentic it means just that." Before telling the audience about the German note, Mr. McAdoo said of the first German note a week ago: "Germany didn't send its note to anyone except the United States. Why? Because the President of the United States has formulated the principles of a permanent peace. "Germany knows that when she accepts the President5s conditions—I am not talking terms, but conditions, principles—when she is off the soil of every invaded land, it means unconditional surrender. "What is unconditional surrender? It is when the fellow you are fighting says, 'I give in and take what you say I ought to take.' "The kaiser might as well surrender now. He isn't deluded now. He wouldn't5 get into the war but he did think at one time that America knows better now." Take Army Home, Says Finland. Stockholm—The Finnish government has asked Germany to withdraw her troops from Finland. British Demand Guarantee. London.—The Press Association says that it is the view in exceptionally well informed circles that no question of armistice will be seriously considered without accompanying naval and military guarantees that Germany is not merely ready to sheathe the sword but that she is absolutely powerless to resume hostilities. Paris Sees Scheme to Split Allies. Paris.—The reply of the German government to President Wilson's questions is considered here to indicate that Germany's diplomatic front is as flexible as her military front. Some of the commentators find the reply so worded as to show the hope of the Germans that it will result in cleavage between the allies. General LaCroix in the Temps says: "Germany's acceptance of PJresident Wilson's conditions is an avowal of deaf." WILSON'S REPLY TOGERMANPLEA FOR ARMISTICE Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Oct. 15.—The text of President Wilson's reply to Germany, delivered to the charge of the Swiss legation, follows: Sir—In reply to the communication of the German government dated the 12th inst., which you handed me today, I have the honor to request you to transmit the following answer: "The unqualified acceptance by the present German government and by a large majority of the reichstieg of the terms laid down by the President of the United States of America in his address to the Congress of the United States on Jan. 8, 1918, and in his subsequent addresses justifies the President in making a frank and direct statement of his decision with regard to the communications of the German government of Oct. 8 and 12, 1918. "It must be clearly understood that the process of evacuation and the conditions of an armistice are matters which must be left to the judgment and advice of the military advisers of the government of the United States and the allied governments, and the President feels it his duty to say that no arrangement can be accepted by the government of the United States which does not provide absolutely satisfactory safeguards and guarantee of the maintenance of the present military supremacy of the armies of United States and the allies in the field. "He feels confident that he can safely assume that this will also be the judgment and decision of the allied governments." "The President feels that it is also his duty to add that neither the government of the United States, nor, he is quite sure, the governments with which the government of the United States is associated as a belligerent will consent to consider an armistice so long as the armed forces of Germany continue the illegal and inhumane practices which they still persist in. "At the very time that the German government approaches the government of the United States with proposals of peace its submarines are engaged in sinking passenger ships at sea and not the ships alone, but the very boats in which their passengers and crews seek to make their way to safety; and in their present enforced withdrawal from Flanders and France the German armies are pursuing a course of wanton destruction which has always been regarded as in direct violation of the rules and practices of civilized warfare. Cities and villages, if not destroyed, are being stripped of all they contain not only, but often of their very inhabitants. The nations associated against Germany cannot be expected to agree to a cessation of arms while acts of inhumanity, spoliation and desolation are being continued which they justly look upon with horror and with burning hearts. "It is necessary, also, in order that there may be no possibility of misunderstanding, that the President should very solemnly call the attention of the government of Germany to the language and plain intent of one of the terms of peace which the German government has now accepted. It is contained in the address of the President delivered at Mount Vernon on the Fourth of July last. "It is as follows: 'The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed, at least its reduction to virtual impotency.' "The power which has hitherto controlled the German nation is of the sort here described. It is within the choice of the German nation to alter it. The President's words just quoted naturally constitute a condition precedent to peace, if peace is to come by the action of the German people themselves. The President feels bound to say that the whole process of peace will, in his judgment, depend upon the definiteness and the satisfactory character of the guarantees which can be given in this fundamental matter. It is indispensable that the governments associated against Germany should know beyond a peradventure with whom they are dealing. "The President will make a separate reply to the royal and imperial government of Austria-Hungary. "Accept, sir, the renewed assurances of my high consideration. (Signed.) "ROBERT LANSING."

Fitzpatrick, stockman near Sapinero, has surrendered to the authorities here, stating that he had killed James McMahon, also a stockman, at the Fitzpatrick ranch. The two men had a heated argument, onlookers state, and McMahon threw his revolver at Fitzpatrick, stating that he could beat him to death with rocks. Fitzpatrick then fired three times, killing McMahon before he could pick up any stones to throw. HUNS RETREAT AS OSTEND FALLS BRITISH LUNGE AHEAD INTO DOUAI AND BELGIAN PATROLS ENTER BRUGES. ANGLO AMERICANS GAIN FOE SEEKS REFUGE IN ANTWERP DEFENSES BEFORE GIANT THRUST Berne, Oct. 18.—Germany's reply to President Wilson's latest communication was expected to be drawn up and dispatched to Washington last night, according to the latest advices received here from Berlin. The semi-official newspapers in Germany indicate that it is certain that Germany in the note will seek to continue the conversation. Baron Hussarek, the Austrian premier, has made the announcement that Austria is about to be transformed into federal states, according to advices received here. Amsterdam—The Handelsblad publishes with reserve a report that the German admiralty has issued wireless instructions to all submarines to return to their bases. Dispatches from Berlin indicate a strong anti-Wilson tendency, not only in military quarters but also in those which have favored peace. With the Allied Armies in Belgium, Oct. 18—Belgian patrols have entered Bruges and cavalry is operating on both sides. Belgian guns are now firing from south of the city. Over a front of forty miles, from the North sea in Belgium, to Lille in northern France, the Germans are in retreat before the Belgian, French and British armies. Likewise the enemy is being forced to concede defeat by retrograde movements before the British and Americans southeast of Cambrai, under the attacks of the French in the pocket between Oise and Serre rivers, north of Laon, and by reason of continued strong attacks by the French and Americans in the Champagne and along the Meuse river. Ostend, one of the famous submarine bases on the sea, is in British hands. Bruges is all but captured, while to the south from the region east of Roulers, the allied forces are fast driving toward Ghent in an endeavor to seal the western Flanders sack. Strong opposition is being offered on the Courtrai sector to prevent the allies from carrying out their maneuver to the full. More than a score of additional villages have been captured. In their withdrawal from West Flanders, the Germans are carrying out a tactical movement which doubtless will end in a general falling back to their line in northern France and permit them to materially strengthen their resistance on a new and shorter front. This probably will be from Antwerp to Namur and Metz and thence to the Swiss border, which would still leave the Germans eighty miles from their own border line, both at Antwerp and Namur. At present, the center of the Flanders fighting is near Thielt, which is about 125 miles from Aix la Chapelle, on the German border. Southeast of Cambrai, over a front of ten miles between Le Cateau and Bohain, the British and Americans are delivering a violent attack against the Germans, and at last reports they were meeting with success, although the Germans were savagely resisting with machine guns and infantry and with artillery behind their line.

With the supply of fabrics growing precious no cos- ‘tumer ventures to use more than the [regulation allotment of cloth, therefore skirts are narrow and straight and conts cut to conform to this shortage ‘of material, But the ingenulty of designers, put to the test, has tri- umphed and given us a variety of new modeis in cont suits and frocks, that do them great credit. Skirts are a little longer than they have been, since they must be two Inches below the shoe tops and shoe tops are not as high as they were. Longer skirts were proclaimed earty in the season, but women with a busy winter ahead of them have not been faclined to give up short skirts for street wear, Those in the suits pie- tured are only two inches below the shoe tops; that is, they are as short as the unwritten law allows, The suit at the left of the picture is in a smooth-surfaced cloth; it might be duyetyn, wool velours or brondeloth, in deep gray with collar and emplacements in the coat of Hud- son seal. The coat has a diagonal front, fastening with a very large flat button in gray to the left front. It is extended into points at the front and back. The high mufller collar ts conyertible—the cuffs very deep, in gauntlet style, and finished with small cloth-coyered, buttons. In many sults there are combinations of two materials, ‘ind this model’ carries the {dea out by uniting cloth and fur, A very simple and practical suit of velours appears ‘at the right, the cout having a skirt portion plaited on to the body.

One of his col- tengues tackled him on the subject. “Ah, well,” replied the learned young man, “It's enough to be named Fiddle, without being Fiddle, D. D.” Gem EXO) ES aaa seness ee Pe
