WILLIAM HAYWARD AROUSES GREAT ENTHUSIASM GIVES INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF HOW THE OLD FIFTEENTH REGIMENT MADE UNDYING HISTORY IN FRANCE. VOL. XXV. COL. WILLIAM AROUSES GRE GIVES INTERESTING ACCOUNT TEENTH REGIMENT MAJ. FRA COLONEL WILLIAM HAYWARD of the 369th regiment, U. S. in- fantry, formerly known as the "Old 15th," recently roused to a mild pitch of enthusiasm one of the largest crowds that was ever packed into old Carnegie Hall, New York, when he told of the daring exploits in France of his regiment of brave Negro fighters, most of whom were recruited in New York City. Col. Hayward was the principal speaker at a thrift meeting called to launch the War Savings Society movement in New York City and to promote the sale of War. Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. Col. Hayward's speech was easily the "hit" of the evening and, by continued cheering and bursts of applause, the thousands assembled showed their appreciation of the brave work done by the Negro soldier in the great war. "In talking to Justice Hughes a few days ago I was astonished to find out that the people in this country did not know what happened in that last big German offensive on the 15th of July," said Colonel Hayward. "You see, the Germans had been reinforced by released prisoners from Russia so that they had their maximum forces. They had broken through the British and it was pretty near disaster. This was east of Rheims. The Germans had also torn through the French at Mont-didier, gone through thirty or forty kilos." Colonel Hayward then explained that the old Fifteenth had been turned over to General Gouraud, commander of the Fourth French army, and that his men captured some Germans on the night of the 14th of July, thus learning that the expected attack would be launched upon their front. During the 191 days that the regiment was in the trenches, he said, there were weeks when there was nothing between the German army and Paris but his regiment. "But that was fair enough," he added, "because there was nothing between us and Berlin except the German army." "When the French knew this battle was coming," the colonel continued, their forces did not remain a thin blue line. It seemed that all the soldiers and all the cannons in the world crawled over and took positions back of us. "General Gouraud saved the world for civilization, but he took a chance, the greatest chance any soldier ever took in the world. He took his troops out of the front line trenches over a front of fifty kilometers. He abandoned them when he was sure the attack was coming. "And when this attack occurred he had the Fifteenth New York on one end of that fifty kilo line and the old Sixty-ninth New York, in the Rainbow division, on the other end. And so, when the German fire fell on these front line trenches, for five hours and twenty-five minutes, they fell on empty trenches, except for the few patrols left in reinforced trenches with signal rockets, gas shells and a few machine guns. Practically all of these came back to us in the morning. "When the hour for the German infantry attack came these patrols let off their gas bombs and signal rockets and our artillery let loose on the massed Germans. The Germans were literally smashed and never got to our second line. "But on the other end they did get through. They crashed into the Rainbow division and the Sixty-ninth met them hand to hand in some of the most terrible fighting of the war—fighting fit for that terrible battle, the battle that was the turning point of the war." Capt. A. P. Sinamonds, military strategist, reminded all present that they must continue giving financial support to the government, remarking too that the nation is awakening to action against those dwelling in this country who seek to destroy its government, and that the only place where the people of the United States will tolerate a red flag is "over a sewer hole, where it belongs." Resolutions pledging united and continued support in the thrift campaign to prevail upon everyone to join War Savings Societies were unanimously adopted. That the idea of war-taught thrift is with us to stay was strikingly demonstrated by the hearty response and promise of support and co-operation offered by those present. It was only a little over a year ago that War Savings Stamps, symbolizing thrift, were first offered for sale, and Treasury Department officials feel highly gratified at the results so far. At the Carnegie Hall meeting men and women were gathered from every walk of life; and thousands who were unable to gain admission stood patiently in Fifty-seventh street while the meeting was in progress. Delegations were headed by officials of War Savings committees from all boroughs. Martin Vogel, assistant treasurer of the United States, was roundly applauded when he declared that thrift was an ideal which might be classed with the League of Nations and the bettering of mankind. "The natural tendency of the people of this country," he declared, "is prodigal." That thrift does not in any sense of the word mean miserliness was a point stressed by Mr. Vogel. "It simply means," he pointed out, "husbanding of your resources and refraining from useless spending and dissipating your moneys. It is a great cause, for if inculcated into the American people it will be one of the greatest sources of strength for the upbuilding of this nation. The ideals for which every enlightened government strives is the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, and people can be taught to save and put away for a rainy day. Thus, they will become stronger, better and happier citizens." state Hist. & Nat Hist Boc. State House ble People's Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SATU SOLDIERS REFUSE TO RETURN SOUTH. Washington, March 10.—The South will face a serious shortage in agricultural labor during the coming season, according to present indications, officials of the federal employment service stated today. The reason for this shortage while other sections of the country are overflowing with labor is that a majority of the Negroes who shouldered a gun are refusing to go back to cotton fields. The lure of higher wages in the Northern industrial centers is attracting them, although there is already an oversupply of labor in these places. Many others came North because of the high wages paid for war work. "Late reports indicate that the shortage will be one of the most acute in the history of the cotton belt," one official stated. "The Negro laborers have seen a little of the world through army life, and it is surprising how many of them are refusing to go back to the cotton fields from the camps." Already the employment service reports show need for agrificultural help and the spring farm work has not yet started. These are practically the only localities reporting shortages. The large amount of labor needed to raise cotton makes it imperative that more attractive working conditions be offered the Negroes, the employment service believes. To relieve the threatened shortage the service has instructed all its agents near camps where Southern Negroes are demobilized to urge them to stay in the South because of the increasing unemployment in Northern industries. $60 BONUS TO SOLDIERS U.

SHIPBUILDING FIRM HIRES 4,500 NEGROES. Hampton, Va.—Homer L. Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, says there are 4,500 colored men working in the Newport News, Ship-building and Dry Dock Company. This is the largest force of skilled colored men and the highest paid group of colored men working anywhere in industry. The ship-building plant is a memorial to Collis P. Huntington who showed himself a friend to Hampton Institute and the colored people. Some of the colored men who are working in the Newport News shipyard have been with the company twenty-five years or more. Eight to ten are on the retired list and are receiving from one-third to one-fourth of their regular pay. The successful colored shipyard workers have built their own homes, have supported their churches, and have helped to develop one of the best colored sections in the South. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources WILL EMPLOY COLORED TEACHERS IN CHARLESTON. Charleston, S. C., Feb. 26.—Beginning next autumn the three colored public schools of the city will have all of their fifty-two teachers colored. must be circulated in the town, but that every "darkey," the petition reads, must read the Falcon, a local white paper, edited by a Confederate veteran. The whites stated this step was being done in order to keep the "nigger from getting beside himself, and to keep him in his place." BOILER MAKERS GO ON STRIKE. Mobile, Ala., March 10.—High wages did not serve to stop the one hundred and fifty Negro broilermakers from walking out of the plant of the Henderson Shipbuilding Company here today when George Frazier was discharged for defending himself against the insults of an overbearing, prejudiced foreman employed at the works. The men refused to return to work after being told that Frazier would be reinstated. They contended for the reinstatement of their fellow worker and the dismissal of the white foreman. JAILED BECAUSE OF LOVE FOR NEGRO. Wheeling, W. Va., March 13.—A white woman, Mille Gray, was brought in court here because it was discovered that she was in love with a Negro, George Williams. Every effort was made by the court to show her the "folly of her way," but she absolutely refused to disclaim her affection for the man Williams. As a result, the woman was given the maximum sentence of six months in jail and $50 fine. The woman went to her punishment without a murmur except to state that as soon as she is out she will marry Williams regardless of protests. NO KU-KLUX KLAN IN PITTS- BURGH. Pittsburg, Pa., March 4.—Rumors spread abroad through the Associated Press that the, Ku Klux of southern ill-fame had extended its field toward Pittsburgh and was terrorizing local citizens were denied here today. R. R. Vann, editor of the Courier, sent the following statement to the Afro-American recently: "Investigation has proven nothing; evidently the work of ignorant bums." The Associated Press sent out the following last Saturday: "A self-styled Klu Klux Klan is spreading a reign of terror among the Negro residents of the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh. "Glaring notices warning colored men and women 'to be careful and stay in their place' have been posted on leading Negro churches in the district and sent to the homes of many Negro residents. Some Negroes fear for their lives and have not ventured out of their homes at night since the notices began to appear. Prominent Negro citizens have been warned that the outrages committed in Virginia and Kentucky against colored people will be duplicated here unless they 'watch their step.'" RACE PAPERS BARRED Somerville, Tenn., March 9.—White people of this city have issued an order that no "colored newspapers" NO.22. must be circulated in the town, but that every "darkey," the petition reads, must read the Falcon, a local white paper, edited by a Confederate veteran. The whites stated this step was being done in order_to keep the "nigger from getting beside himself, and to keep him in his place." Since the invasion made in this city by newspapers of our race, people have been leaving by the wholesale, seeking better opportunity and development in northern cities. The edict was issued against the newspapers when white men were forced because of the lack of help, to plow the fields. Somerville is the county seat of Fayette county. There are 25,000 of our people residing in this section and only 7,000 whites. Our people furnished five soldiers to one white soldier from this district to the national army in the fight for democracy. JACK JOHNSON LANDS IN CAPITAL OF CUBA Former Ring Champion Arrives in Havana on Way to Mexico—Hopes to Meet Jesse Willard Again and Also Jack Dempsey. Havana, March 8.—Jack Johnson, formerly world's heavyweight pugilistic champion, arrived here today from Spain on his way to Mexico City, where he will make his first appearance in a ring contest since he lost the championship to Jess Willard in this city almost four years ago. Johnson declared that he wants a return fight with Willard "anywhere, under any conditions except those which governed the Havana contest." He would, he said, split the purse to suit Willard, winner take all, 75 and 25 per cent, or otherwise. Johnson looks to be in good condition and said he weighs 225 pounds. The former champion has signed a blank contract calling for five ring battles in Mexico with any opponents who may be selected for him. He hopes to meet Jack Dempsey and others of the best American fighters. Within four months, or after fulfillment of his Mexico contract, he expects to visit the United States. TEXAS PAPER CONDEMNS LYNCHING. Houston, Tex., March 10.—The better element of people in Texas are beginning to take note of the infamy attached to this state by the lynchings of recent years. The El Paso Times (white) in a lengthy editorial, deplores the condition of things, and says the "Legislature submit to the people a proposition so to amend the constitution that a lyncher be debarred from holding any public office of honor, trust or profit." This state, with others, is very much alarmed at the new migration that is starting this spring from the South. MEMPHIS HAS NEGRO OFFICERS Memphis, Tenn.-Through the influence of Robert R. Church, the new leader of Negro politics in the South, two white detectives were dropped from the force in this city and replaced by two Negro detectives, Albert Hurst and James Mahon, at a salary of $100 per month. These are the first race officers appointed here in more than twenty-five years. The policemen have raised a protest, but the Negroes of Memphis have the ballot, and it is not feared that their murmurings will have any effect.

Leon Vaudecrane and Robert Schreiber, former army aviators of Paris, who proposed an aerial duel, have postponed it until the peace treaty is signed. Polish troops with the assistance of local militia, have repulsed German volunteer forces which attacked the oil field in the region of Dombrowka, Silesia. Rio Janeiro dispatches report the sinking of the North American schooner Chaffka. Thirteen survivors, including the captain and his wife, have been landed. Three German steamers captured by allied warships for violation of the armistice terms have arrived at Dunkirk for internment. The steamers are the Italia, Mercur and Pluto. The preliminary peace treaty will probably contain the clause compelling Germany to turn over all officials found guilty of war crimes to be tried by an international tribunal. Emile Cottin, the unarchist, who recently made an attempt upon the life of Premier Georges Clemenceau, was sentenced to death by the court-martial which was trying him. The verdict was unanimous. If Kaiser William is extradited from Holland he must be taken legally. That is the Dutch government's position, according to the minister of justice, who made a statement in the chamber of deputies. The German delegates to the conference at Brussels, regarding the taking over by the allies of the German mercantile fleet and the provisioning of Germany, definitely accepted the conditions imposed by the allies. The leave of absence area for the American army of occupation was recently extended to include Greece. Under the present plan officers and men of the Third army, in cases where leave is granted, may visit Paris, Belgium, England, Italy or Greece, leaves being for two weeks except in exceptional cases. SPORT Bates Campbell "mushing" behind his dog team, crossed the finish line first in the annual 100-mile Hudson bay dog derby at The Pas, Manitoba. Campbell made the course without stopping in fifteen hours and thirty-five minutes. McKay, a favorite, was second. Five out of seven entries went the hundred miles without rest and finished. The unconditional release by the Philadelphia National League club of Charles Albert Bender means the passing of the American Indian from the great national pastime. Ben Tincup, another Indian hurler, was let out by the Phillies two weeks ago, Bender's release coming this week. Chief Meyers, the former Giant catcher, later with the Robins, has given up the game in favor of the United States marine corps. GENERAL Woodrow Wilson will again serve the United States as President, according to Norman E. Mack, New York, national Democratic committee man. Mack predicted Wilson will be choice of the people in 1920. J. Ogden Armour, multi-millionaire packer, who recently declared he "envied the care-free life of the hobo," may become a "brother" in the Chicago Society of Vagabonds. The society will consider adopting Armour as a "brother," "active" or otherwise. Edgar Crabtree, candidate for mayor of Jacksonville, Fla., promises to purchase no campaign cigars, kiss no babies, and to serve without pay if elected. Fevered politics means nothing at Findley, Ohio. Town officials just discovered that, owing to the absence of the village clerk, they forgot to hold the primary election. Damage estimated at between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000 was caused by the rains which fell over southern Florida. It is estimated that about 75 per cent of the state's winter tomato crop was ruined. The first reinforced concrete freight car ever built was delivered to the Illinois Central railroad for operation in its coal service. The car was designed when war demands made steel for commercial uses almost unobtainable. Eleven years and eight months was the sentence given Mrs. Florence Duke at Philadelphia after she confessed the theft of more than twenty automobiles. She said the amount realized on the sale of the cars was used to further the education of her young son. Jean Julian Lemordant, noted French artist, who was blinded in the war, received from Yale University the Howland memorial prize. President Arthur T. Hadley presented the prize, which is the income of a fund of $15,000 awarded not oftener than once every two years for achievements of marked distinction in literature and fine arts. The Southern railway freight transfer station at Inman yards, near Atlanta, has been destroyed by fire. The damage is estimated by railroad officials at $1,000,000. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS. SHOWING THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN OUR OWN AND FOREIGN LANDS. WESTERN Lieutenant Colonel Emmons, aviator, dreamed he was licked in an air battle and had to jump. He leaped from his bed and broke a leg at Long Beach, Calif. An extraordinary congressional session has been called to meet May 1 at Mexico City, presumably to consider many international questions including damages to foreign oil interests during the revolution. Several persons are reported killed, scores injured, and a vast amount of property damaged by tornadoes and cloud bursts which struck towns in Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma within the past few days. Under the provisions of the Senate bill which has been signed by the governor and now is a law, it is believed the amount of livestock slaughtered on the range of Montana by rustlers and sold for meat will be greatly reduced. Three men were killed instantly, a fourth died soon after, and a fifth was seriously injured at Culler station, a crossing on the Redondo Beach line of the Pacific Electric Company, when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by an electric train. Thirty members of the exclusive American Club at Aberdeen are minus $1,500, having been the victims of two bandits, one of whom wielded a wooden gun covered with tinfoil. After the club members had been lined up and their money taken the bandits fled. The wooden gun was dropped as the robbers ran. The trial of the thirty-two alleged I. W. W. in the United States District Court was postponed at Wichita until the September term of the court. Judge John C. Pollock announced that it would require some time to study the questions brought up by the counsel for the defense in his demurrier and motion to quash the indictments. Policeman James Buttimer was wounded in a revolver duel in Chicago in a pitch-black room with Charles Kent, a negro, who also was hit by a bullet and captured. The battle occurred after Buttimer, who was in plain clothes, followed Kent into the house to arrest him. Nothing but the gun flashes were visible. Police outside, attracted by the shots, broke into the house and captured Kent. Buttimer will recover. Unless prices of foodstuffs to consumers materially decrease and at the same time producers given opportunity "to exist," the "red flag" seen "will be flying over our public buildings," according to testimony of S. S. Knight, president of the Poultry Keepers' Association of Petaluma before the joint special committee of the State Legislature of California investigating bread, milk and egg prices. The poultry men represented by Knight ship more than 16,000,000 eggs annually, he said. WASHINGTON Italy's loans from the United States were increased to $1,421,500,000 by a new credit of $13,500,000. This made total credits for all allies $8,857,157,000. George Hodges of Chicago, a widely known railroad man, who directed the movement of troops in the United States for the railroad administration during the war, died in Washington from pneumonia. Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson, announced that he was in receipt of a cablegram from the President stating that "the plenary council has positively decided that the league of nations is to be part of the peace treaties." Private George Burnie, a negro, who was awarded the Croix de Guerre, with palm for extraordinary heroism while under fire in France, was shot and killed in St. Louis by Holly Jones, also a negro, eight minutes after arriving home. Jealousy is said to have caused the shooting. Secretary Glass has asked President Wilson 16 set aside more than $3,000,000 from the presidential war emergency fund to cover the cost of continued operation of the war risk insurance bureau for the next few months until Congress can remedy its recent failure to appropriate funds for the bureau. Appointment by Secretary Lane of the relief commission to adjust claims growing out of government efforts to stimulate production of minerals needed in war has been announced at the Interior Department. The members are Philip Moore of St. Louis, mining engineer; J. F. Shafroth, former senior from Colorado, and M. D. Foster, former representative from Illinois. About 16,000,000 pounds of wool, representing a part of the surplus stocks held by the War Department, will be offered for sale at Philadelphia. Another auction is to be held at Boston. SPORT Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Western Newspaper Union News Service. Farmers of the Grover and Larson districts, in eastern Weld county, are preparing to ask the District Court for surveys of the land in the two districts. Colorado has 5,542.2 miles of railroads, owned by forty-one railroad companies. Weld county is first in length of railway lines within its borders, having 401 miles. The smallest man in the army, Roscoe Schwartz of Colorado Springs, has returned from service in Maryland, a different man. Schwartz grew two inches during his service twelve months. Municipal ownership of the utilities in Colorado Springs is being bitterly fought by all factions in the city and it is the consensus of opinion that the measures will be defeated at the spring election. E. G. Grant of Denver, who is said to be one of five men of that city who are known as the "Big Five" in bootlegging circles, was fined $300 and costs on the charge of having liquor in his possession. Worry over his son in France is believed to have caused the suicide of W. A. Hoel, 50, a farmer near Sterling. After Mr. Hoel had been missing several hours neighbors found his body hanging from a rafter in a barn. Reorganization of the old Santa Fé racing circuit has been undertaken by Secretary J. L. Beaman of the Colorado state racing commission, and in this work he has the assured support of the race lovers of southern Colorado to an extent which spells positive success for the enterprise. Colorado and Wyoming will pay a tax on 1918 incomes totaling between $40,000,000 and $50,000,000, it was estimated at midnight Saturday by Mark A. Skinner, internal revenue collector for these two states. The income tax payments for these two states a year ago totaled $28,635,000. The farmers of Brighton organized a co-operative elevator company with a capital of $100,000, and within a few minutes subscribed for $27,500 worth of stock in the concern. An elevator will be built and be ready for business by June 1. It will have a capacity of 25,000 bushels. An automobile bus filled with children on their way to school, thirty-three miles east of Colorado Springs in the White Plains district, turned turtle, resulting in serious injuries to the teacher, Miss Ruth Hall, and the driver, Paul Carbiener. The bus held twelve children, and their escape is regarded as miraculous. It is discovered that practically all the 300 or more coal miners of Crested Butte will be obliged to pay an income tax this year. Wages have been splendid and work plentiful, so that unless sick or unfortunate or unwilling to work, there were few who did not draw down more than $2,000 in pay checks during 1918. Students of the State High School of Industrial Arts at Greeley staged a peace conference at their sophomore-junior-senior banquet given in the Woman's club building. At the peace table students costumed to represent the leading characters and statesmen of the allied nations were introduced by the toastmaster, Prof. E. B. Smith, impersonating Uncle Sam. The speakers in turn told of the part taken by their nations in the war and expressed their views as to conditions requisite to a permanent peace. Dr. J. R. Bell, principal of the school, impersonated Premier Clemenceau and President Crabbe, President Wilson. Incorporation papers for a $3,000,000 concern to develop irrigation projects for 60,000 or more acres of land immediately east of Denver and partly within the city limits will be filed in a few days, according to A. J. Simpson, chairman of the executive committee of the consolidated interests which are to form the new company. Colorado's own military unit—the One Hundred and Fifty-Seventh Infantry regiment—will be demobilized at Camp Kearny, Cal., not later than April 10, according to announcement made at San Diego by Maj. J. C. Dooley, intelligence officer of the Fortieth "Sunshine" division. The One Hundred and Fifty-seventh is a part of this division. The sum of $12,000 is being expended in Colorado by the United States bureau of plant and animal industry in making a survey of Colorado forests, with a view of discovering and eradicating diseases which destroy large quantities of lumber annually. The survey is being made by a group of government experts under the direction of Ellsworth Bethel of the Bureau of Forest Pathology, Washington. The Intermountain Press and Printer, a trade journal devoted to the publishing business, is to be published at Greeley by-George Haubrich, newly-elected field secretary of the Colorado Editorial Association. The first issue will be printed in April. The Colorado Editorial Association, according to Haubrich, has adopted the Iowa plan of organization, and will spent $2,100 this year in the work of standardizing advertising and circulation rates among the 400 dailies and the weeklies of the state. --- CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Following an all-afternoon debate, the Senate passed on second reading the Fincher-O'Brien bill; increasing workmen's compensation in Colorado from $6 to $10 a week, under the state compensation fund, and reducing from fourteen to ten days the so-called waiting period intervening between the date of injury and the time when compensation becomes available. The bill, as passed, increases the medical benefits to $200 within a sixty-day period following injury. Under the present law, the maximum medical benefit is $100 within a limited period of thirty days. The maximum death benefit, under the new measure, is increased from $2,500 to $3,125. Sponsors for the measure declare that it contains an aggregate increase of approximately 25 per cent in the maximum benefits available from the state compensation fund. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Investigation of Thomas J. Tynan's stewardship of the penitentiary was proposed simultaneously in both houses of the Legislature in resolutions that designate a committee consisting of the state auditor, secretary of state and the attorney general. The findings of the committee are to be submitted to Governor Oliver H. Shoup, Warden Tynan's term expires April 1. The investigation is the result of a deficiency appropriation of $22,500 for the penitentiary just passed, for the years 1917-1918. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Plans for constructing a mammoth bath house at Manitou have been outlined by the business men of the Pike's Peak region and it is hoped to have the structure complete by the summer of 1920. The bath house will be built near the soda springs and will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. Committees composed of leading hotel men and merchants now are at work on the promotion program and the company will be incorporated shortly. The body of an Italian laborer, believed to be Philip DeMarka, employed at the steel works of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company at Pueblo, was found by workmen on their way to the plant, the top of the head nearly blown off and no definite means of identification on the body. It is believed that DeMarka, if he be the dead man, was the victim of a black hand gang. A shotgun was used to kill him. No 5 shot being discharged at short range. ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. A six-ton fighting tank over the top of Pike's Peak as a feature of the fifth Liberty Loan campaign is one of the stunts now contemplated, according to Eli Powell, member of the press bureau service, donated the state Liberty Loan organization by the Union Pacific railroad. This sensational feat is to be attempted in a whippet type tank, manned, as Mr. Powell puts it, by "the hardest fighting tank men to be had from service overseas." Fifty thousand dollars damage was done at Pagosa Springs by the fire which destroyed the telephone office, a millinery store, pool hall, a building containing the New Albany hotel and a drug store owned by Frank Edmisten. The blaze started through the efforts of a cook at the New Albany eating house to burn soot from the chimney, and spread rapidly despite the efforts of the local fire department. THE COLORADO STATESMAN At a big meeting of the bureau of medical service of the Chamber of Commerce of Montrose, a movement was started which will shortly result in the erection of a splendid, modern hospital costing around $50,000. It will be built by popular stock subscription, issued by a special incorporation, formed by a committee of five men to be appointed by Chairman Rodney Anderson of the bureau. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Amando Gill shot Ambrocio Morelez at Florence three times in the chest and body, but none will prove fatal. He was arrested. Morellez was held about a month ago in connection with the shooting of Mrs. Morellez, who was wounded in the leg by a shot fired outside her bedroom window, but was released from lack of evidence. Development too late for use in the war of a motor fuel which adds ten miles an hour to the speed of aeroplanes and has possibilities for use in automobile racing was announced by the bureau of mines. The liquid, a combination of benzol and cyclohexane, called hectar, costs about $1 a gallon, so while of military value it is not regarded as practical for commercial purposes at present. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Because of a broken spring in his automobile which broke as he was making his getaway from the state constabulary with fifteen cases of Cheyenne liquor, a man giving his name as C. Williams, was fined $200 and costs in Justice Court at Carr and turned over to the U. S. authorities to be prosecuted for transporting liquor into dry territory. While Greeley has been debating the desirability of a potato flour mill, Eaton has apparently gone ahead and got the mill. At least the Eaton Potato Milling Company has been incorporated with a capital stock of $100,000 in 100 shares of $100 each and the business men and farmers interested say that construction will be started in the very near future. TWODOLLARSAYEAR W. M. Bowman, a Denver architect, who recently completed the remodeling of a large bank at Montrose, has been telegraphoped to prepare tentative plans for a $40,000 hospital to be erected in Montrose this year by a stock company composed of Montrose citizens. Frank Neill of Greeley has been elected secretary of the Weld community fair by the executive committee of the Weld farm bureau, which has the fair in charge.

TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF WISH. Colonel Harvey in North American Review Presents Facsimile of Penciled Memorandum Left by Theodore Roosevelt's last thoughts were of the great domestic issues of his country, issues whose determination will decide the weal or woe of the next generation. He saw in a united Republican party, just given a vote of confidence and a commission to formulate and carry into action policies of reconstruction, the guarantee of the prompt recognition and successful handling of these domestic problems. Tangible evidence of this is a memorandum, the last pencilled thoughts of the late President. To Colonel George Harvey and the North American Re- Hays . see him ; he must go to Washington for 10 days ; see sarah v. House prent split or domestic policies Facsimile of Last Memorandum of Colonel Roosevelt, Penciled a Few Hours Before He Died. view the country and the Republican party are indebted for the publication of this interesting document which carries a message from him "who, being dead, yet speaketh." In the leading article of the current number of the North American Review Colonel Harvey sets forth the vital import of this last penciled notation of Mr. Roosevelt. He says: "Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowledged leader of the great party into which he was born. His last written words, penciled by his own hand a few hours before his death and addressed in the form of a memorandum for the brilliant young man for whose selection as Chairman of the National organization he was largely responsible, were these, as reproduced above in facsimile: "'Hays see him; he must go to Washington for 10 days; see Senate and House; prevent split on domestic policies.' "Here is evidenced as clearly as if the few words filled a volume Mr. Roosevelt's realization of both his responsibility and his obligation. The simple memorandum marked the inauguration of a definite party policy, to be carried through to a no less definite conclusion. It was more than a passing thought or a mere suggestion. It was a Message, signifying the need of immediate and unremitting vigilance in achieving complete unity of action in resolving domestic problems before attacking those of wider range soon to be thrust upon the country—a true soldier's call first to close the ranks. Nothing could be more characteristic or more clearly illustrative of the breadth of vision, the foresight, the directness in method and the painstaking attention of the man. Nothing, too, probably could have served his purpose better than that these words should have been his last. Difficult as it is to reconcile oneself to the decree of Divine Providence that the removal of that great patriot at this crucial moment was not untimely, we cannot but realize, as he would have been the first to acknowledge, that the last vestige of animosities which might have continued to impair his highest inspirations was buried with him, and thereby the perfect union which he so ordently desired against all things un-American was attained. "Thus we find the Republican party resuming full legislative authority thoroughly united and invigorated by the peculiar confidence which so often carried it to victory in former years." ROOSEVELT'S DEPARTING WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN Col. Roosevelt died about 4 o'clock on the morning of January 6. The previous evening at a great patriotic rally in the New York Hippodrome a message was read from him, written especially for the occasion. In it was his striking sentence: "We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as such as it excludes any foreign flag if a nation to which we are hostile, * * and we have room for but one out loyalty, and that is loyalty to the american people."

THIS ought to be the banner to fly at the head of the banner of every Negro slacker. It would mean much to every institution and business among us. The church, the lodges and newspapers alike would profit by such a motto strictly conformed to. We have known colored business men in Denver who failed because Negroes would not pay their debts. Churches have to beg and solicit funds on the streets because members won't pay their obligations, lodges carry long lists of delinquents and have to finally expel members because they won't pay their dues. Newspapers have to live at a poor "dying rate" because their subscribers won't pay their subscriptions. "Pay your debts" ought to be blazoned on the door posts of every house in Denver, on your watch fob and calling cards. The Negro is growing careless about this thing. He is losing friends because people are losing confidence in him financially. Neither his note or bond is worth much nowadays. The Colorado Statesman is not saying this for itself alone. While we need the money and would be glad to collect all that is owing to us, but we want to sound a tocosin and warn the race. We can't afford to wear fine clothes and shine in society and be known as "dead beats." The doctor, the groceryman, the landlords, the newspaper collectors, the lodge treasurers and church officers, besides the whole business world have their eyes upon us; we cannot afford to be derelict; to be rated as N. G., to be put down as C. O. D. The race is making a sad mistake. The Colorado Statesman asks you to "cut out" dodging and come up with the "straight thing." Be a man, pay your debts, look the world in the face. We know it may cut you short some time, but it is better to be short than not to be honest; better not to be liberal than a dead beat. It would mean much more for every organization in Denver if the people of this city would pay their bills. Restaurants and rooming housekeepers and every other business would flourish, The Colorado Statesman would be happy and you would have one of those "won't wear off smiles" if you would pay your bills. It would add years to your life and peace to your sleep. Try it for a month or two and see if your scribe is not right and you will never go back to the "call again game" any more. THE NEGRO AND SPECIAL TREATMENT. IT HAS always been a puzzle to us why the people of our race should be looked upon or dealt with as a people requiring special treatment, special care, or anything in the line of specialty, when especially since war times we can hear every clock-tick about our American greatness in the characteristic of FAIR PLAY and FAIR DEALING. Some of our best men in this country—leaders who come in for admiration from both sides, sometimes make a mistake in presenting to the powers that be our acknowledgement of being a special specie of the Creator's handiwork, and therefore unlike the general creation, we must fill the superlative role, whether good or bad, in other words we cannot pertain to any middle course, as we seem to be in the category of extremists. Reviewing very carefully the extract of the official report of the provost marshal general of the United States Army to the secretary of war, while we are proud of some of the comments, opinions, etc., that this official offers, yet we reproduce same for the benefit of our readers so that they can make their own deductions as to the reasons involved in praising us and lifting us to the skies at one moment, and in the next breath asserting with emphasis that we ought to be specially thankful, and our gratitude for things incidental should come in a greater measure or special form than any one else or any other race. The following quotations give a reminder of our contention, as with all the proofs we have given to this nation, to this dominant race, of our ability for service from the inception of this government, yet we have continually thrust upon us by them and their agents THAT OUR TIME HAS NOT YET COME, and with patience we must await the miraculous performance of Heaven's High Being before we can be generally accepted or commended without the disjunctive clause that generally follows. The provost marshal general in his report says, "His race (Negro) furnished its quota and uncomplainingly, yes, cheerfully," speaking of our contribution to the selective draft. He continues, "History indeed will be unable to record the fulness of his spirit in the war, for the reason that opportunities for enlistment were not opened to him to the same extent as to the whites. But enough can be gathered from the records to show that he was filled with the same martial spirit that fired his white fellow-citizen in the cause for world freedom." The report goes on in the following: "It is also valuable to note the opinion of this representative of the colored race (the special assistant to the secretary of war) as to the results of the Negro's participation in the war," and here he quotes the colored representative: "In a word, I believe that the Negro's participation in the war, his eagerness to serve, and his great courage, and demonstrated valor across the seas, have given him a new idea of Americanism and likewise have given to the white people of our country a new idea of his citizenship, his real character and capabilities, and his 100 per cent Americanism. Incidentally, the Negro has been helped in many ways, physically and mentally and has been made into an even more satisfactory asset to the nation." Now, reader, read between the lines and while we are not attempting to "strain at a gnat," it can clearly be seen in comparing the two quotations, how in spite of our contribution to everything that goes to make good government, yet whenever we repeat the deeds of herosla, bravery and patriotism, a particular feature seems to be presented, and we are viewed in the light of the recipients of national special awards. We realize that we are not as strong numerically; we are fully conscious of the fact of our almost infinitesimal financial position in comparison to the other fellow, but if the American historian is fair to his country, he cannot write to its completeness without mentioning in a general way the Negro's part in the making of the great U. S. A., the preservation of the union and the sacrifice for the duration of its existence, its honor, integrity and international supremacy recently proven in the world's greatest struggle. We are thankful for aid; we are glad for help to bring about a better demonstration of the spirit of freedom, but out of common SELF-RESPECT, let us not be held up to the American nation as a race of SPECIALTY, but only reapers of what results from the sowing of JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Let the white members of this nation carry out the great principles of democracy that our government stands for in its appeal to the world to acquire same, and our race will not be beggars or cringing cowards even in part, as the motto of our forefathers, "WORK WILL BRING ITS OWN REWARD," is the motto of the present generation and will be the legacy to be handed down to our posterity.

YOUNG WILL PRESIDE AT TRIAL OF SOLDIERS. Camp Grant, Ill., March 14.—Col. Charles Young, commanding the development unit at Camp Grant, will be the presiding officer at the trial of the eighteen soldiers connected with the 182d brigade who have been granted a rehearing by the War Department. The soldiers were recently sentenced to death for the alleged assault on Mrs. Louise Schneider (white) of Bloomington, Ill., when she was on a visit to the camp here last June. Maj. Francis E. McGovern (white), formerly governor of Wisconsin, is the senior representative of the judge advocate general's department in the court-martial proceedings. Cause of Retrial. Gen. Samuel T. Ansell, assistant judge advocate general, who appeared before the congressional committee recently and exposed the flimsy manner in which the soldiers were being sent to death and penitentiary by hasty trials in the various cantonments throughout the country, is said to have caused a reinvestigation of the cases of the eighteen condemned men. It is thought that the evidence obtained by the congressional committee from General Ansell will clear the way for he appeal of the forty-one 24th infantrymen who are now serving life sentences at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., for participating in the Houston riots in August, 1917. Maybe You Know Him.

PHONE MAIN 2425, America's Immortals Most striking instances of gallantry for which the Distinguished Service Cross has been awarded On the war department's records there is a roll of "America's Immortals." It is the roll of officers and men to whom there has been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in recognition of acts of unusual gallantry in action. Behind each of these awards is a story of surpassing bravery that deserves the widest publicity, but pages of newspaper space would be required to print them all. Officers attached to General Pershing's staff have selected from the hundreds of official reports a number that typify most strikingly the gallantry and spirit of self-sacrifice that made America's army invincible. Here are a few of them: THOMAS O. NEIBOUR Private, Company M, 16th Infantry. Private Nelbour, whose home is at Sugar City, Idaho, was decorated for conspicuous gallantry in action near Landres-st-Et. Georges, France, October 16, 1918. On the afternoon of October 16, when the Cote de Chatillon had just been gained after bitter fighting, and the summit of that strong bulwark in the krienhlilde Stellung was being organized, Private Nelbour was sent on patrol with his automatic rifle squad to enfilade enemy machine gun nests. As Private Nelbour gained the ridge he set up his automatic rifle and was directly thereafter wounded in both legs by fire from a hostile machine gun on his flank. The advance wave of the enemy troops counter-attacking had about gained the ridge and although practically cut off and surrounded, the remainder of his detachment being killed or wounded, this gallant soldier kept his automatic rifle in operation to such effect that by his own efforts and by fire from the skirmish line of his company at least 100 yards in his rear, the attack was checked. The enemy wave being halted and lying prone, four of the enemy attacked Private Nelbour at close quarters. These he killed. He then moved along among the enemy lying on the ground about him, in the midst of the fire from his own lines, and by his coolness and gallantry captured eleven prisoners at the point of his pistol and, although painfully wounded, brought them back to our lines. The counter-attack in full force was arrested, to a large extent, by the single efforts of this soldier, whose heroic exploits took place against the skyline in full view of his entire battalion. EDWARD C. ALLWORTH. Capt. Allworth won the Distinguished Service Cross for bravery in action at Clery-le-Petit, France, November 5, 1918. While his company was crossing the Meuse river and canal at a bridgehead opposite Clery-le-Petit, the bridge over the canal was destroyed by shell fire and Capt. Allworth's command became separated, part of it being on the east bank of the canal and the remainder on the west bank. Seeing his advance units making slow headway up the steep slope ahead, this officer mounted the canal bank and called for his men to follow. Plunging in he swam across the canal under fire from the enemy, followed by his men. Inspiring his men by his example of gallantry, he led up the slope, joining the hard-pressed platoons in front. By his personal leadership he forced the enemy back for more than a kilometer, overcoming machine gun nests and capturing a hundred prisoners, whose number exceeded that of the men in his command. The exceptional courage and leadership displayed by Capt. Allworth made possible the re-establishment of a bridgehead over the canal and the successful advance of other troops. Capt. Allworth's home is at Crawford, Washington. LOUIS CUKELA. Lieutenant, 5th Regiment, U. S. M. C. Lieutenant Cukela was decorated for conspicuous gallantry near Villers-Cotterets, France, July 18, 1918. When his company, advancing through a wood, met with strong resistance from an enemy strong point Lieutenant Cukela, then a sergeant, crawled out from the flank and made his way toward the German line in the face of heavy fire, disregarding the warnings of his comrades. He succeeded in getting behind the enemy position. Rushing a machine gun emplacement, he killed the crew with his bayonet. With German hand grenades he then bombed out the remaining portion of the strong point. His home is in Minneapolis, Minn. SYDNEY G. GUMPERTZ, First Sergeant, Company E, 132nd Infantry. Sergt. Gumpertz was decorated for gallantry beyond the call of duty in action in the Boise de Forges, France, September 26, 1918. When the ad- vancing line was held up by machine gun fire, Sergt. Gumpertz left the platoon of which he was in command and started through a heavy barrage toward the machine gun nest. His two companions soon became casualties from bursting shells, but Sergt. Gumpertz continued on alone in the face of direct fire from the machine gun, jumped into the nest and silenced the gun, capturing nine of the crew. Sergt. Gumpertz' home is at 701 West 178th street, New York city. CHARLES F. HOFFMAN. Gunnery Sergeant, 49th Company, 5th Regiment, U. S. M. C. Sergt. Hoffman received the Distinguished Service Cross for an act of conspicuous gallantry in action with the enemy near Chateau-Thierry, France, June 6, 1918. Immediately after the company in which Sergt. Hoffman belonged had reached its objective on Hill 142, several counter-attacks were launched against the line before the new position had been consolidated. Sergt. Hoffman was attempting to organize a position on the north slope of the hill when he saw twelve of the enemy, armed with five light machine guns, crawling toward his group. Giving the alarm, he rushed at the hostile detachment, bayonetted the two leaders, and forced the others to flee, abandoning their guns. His quick initiative and courage routed the enemy from a position from which they could have swept the hill with machine gun fire and forced the withdrawal of our forces. His home is in Brooklyn, N. Y. THEODORE PETERSEN. THEODORE PETERSEN, Sergeant, Med. Det. 151st Field Artillery. Sergeant Petersen (deceased) was decorated for conspicuous gallantry in action at Peronne, France, March 5, 1018. Mortally wounded during an enemy bombardment, Sergeant Petersen, though himself too weak to minister to other wounded soldiers, directed his associates in treating the wounded and refused to receive assistance himself until all the others were cared for. When gas shells began to fall in the vicinity he directed the men in adjusting their masks and was the first to test for gas. He continued to supervise the treatment of the wounded, despite the fact that he was suffering great pain, until the arrival of the surgeon, who sent him to the rear. He died on reaching the hospital. His mother, Mrs. N. J. Petersen, lives at 99 Central avenue, Oshkosh, Wis. JAMES D. HERIOT. Corporal, Company I, 118th Infantry. Corp. Heriot, who lived near Providence, S. C., was decorated for conspicuous bravery, resulting in his death, at Vaux-Andigny, France, October 12, 1918. Corp. Heriot, with four other soldiers, organized a combat group, and attacked an enemy machine gun nest which had been inflicting heavy casualties on his company. In the advance two of his men were killed, and because of heavy fire from all sides, the remaining two sought shelter. Unmindful of the hazard attached to his mission, Corp. Heriot, with fixed bayouet, alone charged the machine gun, making his way through the fire for a distance of thirty yards, and forcing the enemy to surrender. During this exploit he received several wounds in the arm, and later in the same day, while charging another nest, he was killed. DONALD M. CALL. Second Lieutenant, Company B, Tank Corps. Lieut. Call was decorated for conspicuous bravery in action near Varennes, France, September 26, 1918. During an operation against enemy machine gun nests west of Varennes, Lieut. Call, then corporal, was in a tank with an officer, when half of the turret was knocked off by a direct artillery hit. Choked by gas from the high-explosive shell, he left the tank and took cover in a shell hole thirty yards away. Seeing that the officer did not follow, and thinking that he might be alive, Corp. Call returned to the tank under intense machine gun and shell fire and carried the officer over a mile under machine gun and sniper fire to safety. Lieut. Call's home is at Larchmont Manor, N. Y. CHARLES DISALVO, Private, Company B, 354th Infantry. Private Disalvo (deceased) was decorated for conspicuous gallantry in action near Remonville, France, November 1, 1918. When the combat group, of which he was a member, had been halted by enemy machine guns, Private Disalvo alone charged forward. Attacking the nest, he killed one gunner and forced the rest to surrender. His act enabled the group to continue their advance. During the charge on the nest he was so seriously wounded that he died on the field. His widow lives at 3305 Arlington avenue, St. Louis, Mo. JOHN J. KELLY. Private Kelly was decorated for gallantry in action at Blanc Mont Ridge, France, October 3, 1918. Private Kelly ran through our own barrage 100 yards in advance of the front line and attacked an enemy machine gun nest, killing the gunner with a grenade, shooting another member of the crew with his pistol and returned through the barrage with eight prisoners. Private Kelly's home is at 6149 Kimbark avenue, Chicago, Ill.

PENSION FOR PIONEERS FIX POLAND HOUSE TAKES FINAL ACTION ON MANY MEASURES. Senate Working Hard to Pass Constructive Legislation of Interest. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The House has taken final steps to care for Colorado pioneers and their widows and widowed mothers unable to care for their children, when it passed a number of bills on final reading. The Noonan-Steele-Owen bill provides a pension of $90 quarterly for all persons who settled in Colorado by Jan. 1, 1861, or widows of such persons. The bill calls for an appropriation of $75,000, or any part of that amount that may be necessary to carry out the pension provisions. Pioneers receiving a pension from the government will be excluded from the provisions of the bill. Final provision for the education of allens in citizenship duties was made with the passage on final reading of the Steele bill. The measure carries an appropriation of $25,000 to carry on the work for the biennial period ahead. The governor may, if he deems it advisable, appoint a committee of citizens to supervise the Americanization work, the committee being given power to select instructors. The Girard bill, creating a state geological survey, to be under the direction of an advisory board composed of the governor and the presidents of several state institutions, also passed final reading in the House. The bill also provides for the appointment of an assistant state geologist, and aims to promote the mining industry by finding markets for products. The Rockwell-Lacy bill, authorizing boards of county commissioners, with the approval of the State Highway Commission, to purchase sites along the state highways for free use as public camping grounds was killed in the State Senate on second reading by a vote of 14 to 6. Another bill which passed final reading in the House was the Allen bill, calling for the appointment of a committee by the governor to select a shield or tablet upon which is to be inscribed the names of the territorial governors and the years they served in office. The shield is to be placed upon the walls of the main floor in the capitol. The bill carries an appropriation of $600. The State Senate enacted much legalisation, putting through on final reading seventeen measures, of which six were House bills. Among the principal measures adopted were the Fincher-O'Brien industrial compensation bill, the Napier-Hetherington-Knauss adult probation bill, and the Baker House bill increasing teachers' minimum salaries. Appropriations approved on second reading in the Senate, after being amended in the main to meet the recommendations of the finance committee, were as follows: For the purchase of grounds for additional state buildings, $20,000, together with $16,496 remaining in a fund appropriated for similar purposes by the Twenty-first General Assembly. For the support and maintenance of the State Industrial School at Golden for the 1919-1920 biennial period, $185,000. For additional machinery for that institution, $5,000. For general repairs, $5,000. For additional lands, $16,000. For the support and maintenance of the State Industrial School for Girls at Morrison for the 1919-1920 biennial period, $30,000. For constructing and repairing a cottage at the school, $30,000. For enlarging and repairing a cottage now at the school for a hospital, $10,000. For an additional farm building, $1,000. For general repairs to the buildings, $2,500. For the purchase of additional lands, $3,000. The military measures favorably acted upon in the Senate were House bills 419 and 420, by Representative Bert M. Lake of Denver—one authorizing the state military board to dispose of real estate formerly acquired for military purposes and now unsuitable for such use; the other providing that monies returned to the state by the federal government in reimbursement for expenses of mobilizing National Guard troops during the Mexican border troubles in 1916 shall be allocated partly to the military poll tax fund and partly to a special fund upon which the adjutant general may issue vouchers to cover those expenses. Passage of the Rotruck-Bond bill calling for a 1-cent tax on gasoline on second reading in the House of Representatives came after a stormy discussion in which certain representatives endeavored to discourage the idea of federal aid in the construction of Colorado highways. The bill provides that funds raised through this means for the next three years go toward the dollar-for-dollar system of road building. The Fincher-O'Brien measure increases the maximum weekly compensation to injured workmen from $8 to $10, reduces the waiting period between injury and compensation from two weeks to ten days and doubles the medical benefits, both as to amount and as to the length of period within which they are to be available. There was no opposition to the bill on final consideration. The adult probation bill permits judges of trial courts to place on limited probation persons convicted of crimes other than felonies. GEOGRAPHY A BIG FEATURE IN DRAWING LINES FOR NEW STATE. WANTS OUTLET TO SEA REPORTS MADE TO SUPREME ALLIED COUNCIL BY HEAD OF COMMISSION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Paris, March 21.—In making his report to the supreme allied council on the Polish question, Jules Cambon, the head of the Peace Conference Commission on Polish affairs, set forth the purpose of the commission to create a Polish state which would have a firm foundation for its future welfare and at the same time to respect the principle of nationalities, despite the difficulties resulting from the geographical features of the problem. Poland, M. Cambon pointed out, was half enclosed by German territory and had an imperative need of an independent outlet to the sea by a route easy of access, to insure her national autonomy. Therefore, he said, it was necessary to incorporate in the new state some German elements which, he reminded the council, had been introduced there by Germany herself with deliberateness and in conformity with her colonizing system. Premier Lloyd George argued that Germany must not be given a pretext for organizing a sort of irridentist movement, especially east of the Vistula, where the Germans were rather numerous. The plan of the commission gives to Poland boundaries which render her territory more restricted than it was in 1772. It puts in her possession an outlet to the Baltic which along a considerable distance spans the Vistula to Danzig, but excludes the Allenstein territory, to determine the position of which a plebiscite is proposed. Mr. Lloyd George also remarked that by connecting Danzig with Thorn and Warsaw by two independent railroads it probably would be possible to make Poland economically independent. Blames Agitators. New York.—Postmaster General Burleson, in a letter made public to Secretary of Labor Wilson regarding the labor situation in connection with the government's control of telegraph and telephone wires, charges that a "few agitators" are continuously conducting propaganda which engenders unnecessary dissatisfaction among employés. The Postoffice Department's policies are misrepresented, Mr. Burleson declared, so that the impression is created that the government discriminates against employés who are members of labor unions. Sues U. S. for Damages. Philadelphia—The Atlantic Refining Company has entered suit in the United States Court here against the government for $2,193,251, alleged to be due for fuel oil furnished to the navy. The oil company claims compensation on the basis of war prices charged for its product, while Secretary Daniels settled at the lower rate fixed by President Wilson. Other concerns, it is stated, will enter suit for large sums in the event the government losing in the present controversy. Jans Kill Koreans. Philadelphia.—Ten thousand Koreans have been killed and 45,000 arrested by the Japanese in the demonstrations for Korean independence, according to a cablegram from Shanghai which has just reached Dr. Syngham Rhee, representative of the Korean National Association to the peace conference, who is now in this city, "Japan has cut all wire communication between Korea and the outer world." Couriers smuggled over the border into China have cabled Dr. Rhee this information. Considering Bond Issue Washington.—The war finance corporation is considering floating a large bond issue, probably of $200,000,-000 within a few weeks to provide funds for railroads and to meet any other demands on the corporation. The interest rate contemplated is $4% per cent. The bonds would run for a year or possibly a year and a half, according to tentative plans. They would be sold privately to banks and big business interests in order to minimize interference with the popular Victory, Liberty loan campaign. Ask Reed to Resign. Jefferson City, Mo.—James A. Reed, United States senator from Missouri, was called upon to resign his seat in the Senate in resolutions adopted here by a conference of fifty of the sixty-seven Democratic members of the House of Representatives. The action was taken, conference leaders announced, as a result of Senator Reed's address to the Legislature in which he attacked the proposed League of Nations.

In the Realm of Negligees ‘SZ @é EN ) ; | = i : Noe ey Ns | > ‘ ar a ‘There are negligees and neghgees; some of them elaborate and filmy af- fairs of chiffon or crepe and lace, that float about the figure in lovely color tints. Many are made of thin silks or crepe de chine, others of sheer cottons. But the story of the variety of fabrics used is short when compared to the story of variety in design, We can spend onr hours of ease in clothes from far Japan or China or India, or in garments adapted from these oriental sources. Or we can look to various periods in French or other history for inspirations and go as far as we like in adaptations of them. It is in negli- gees that we are fancy: free. Among the prettiest and most prac- tleal styles are those in which the negligee is in one plece and made of taffeta silk in light colors, Luce or net, and often both, are used with this crisp, shimmering silk, and ribbons are i matter of course on all negligees. Exch of these contributes its share toward making the quaint and youthful garment with easy, flowing lines, ple- tured here, It looks like an ample coat over a long Skirt, but Is all In one plcce. A flounce of lace headed with ~ cording accounts for the coat effect, aided by two patch pockets with Hounces aeross the top. Lace is gath- exed about the bottom of the robe and finishes the yery full, flowing sleeves tha: are cut three-quarteys length. It is the logical neck finish, Namow rib- bon in a rosette with ends ts posed at the top of the front fastening and forms a loose sash with bow and ends at the front that {s tacked about the walst. ‘Taffeta coats, about as long as a mandarin coat, worn over lacy pettl- coats are beautiful, and to be recom- mended, especially for morning wear. They are often trimmed with cord cov- ered with taffeta. ‘This order is re- versed in negligees having silk pett!- coats of taffeta or crepe de chine, with little coats of net or silk, trimmed with narrow lace frills, over them. Sport Shoes for Summer Wear. Now that Red Cross work, motor driving und various other activities attendant upon the war sre diminish: ing, there will be more time for golf und tennis, and a consequent inerease in the demand for sport shoes.
