LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY EFFORT TO BREAK DOWN PREJUDICE BY BENJAMIN J. ROSENTHAL IN RECONSTRUCTING AMERICA. VOL. XXV. IN THE larger cities, there is, as a rule, a great influx of colored citizens from time to time. The colored man generally prefers urban life to country life, and so you find him in large numbers in the larger urban centers. Unfortunately a prejudice against people of his race has compelled him to live in a prescribed district, and in this district we generally find the worst housing conditions. There are many houses that have been abandoned by white people because they are unfit for human beings to live in, and when the landlord finds that he cannot get white people to occupy them, he rents to colored people, usually at high prices. Then other white people desert the neighborhood, and more colored people come in. In a short time, there develops what is known as "the black belt." The owner allows the property to run down, because he thinks anything is good enough for a colored man to live in. The result is, that housing conditions become worse and worse, and the colored man is asked to live decently and keep clean when all the conditions are against him. I urge a most careful inspection by the proper authorities, of every house, tenement, or apartment, wherever situated, where there is the slightest suspicion of poor living conditions, and that can insistent demand be made to compel the owners of these properties to provide proper sanitary conditions throughout, and if the owner refuses, the property to be condemned. If you will improve the housing conditions of the colored man, you will improve, his efficiency materially, just as has been outlined in a previous chapter with respect to the housing of the white man. It is of equal importance. All unsightly tenements and shanties should be condemned and torn down, and gradually replaced with decent dwelling places, not merely living places, with here and there a small park for the children to play in. If this were done, we would have the beginning of a solution of the housing problem and the making of happy, contented wage earning people, black or white. When you improve the efficiency of the colored man, you give him what is his right, the right to live decently, the right to advance himself according to his merit, and the right to become a useful citizen of the community in which he lives. You ask him to die for you and he goes forth willingly and takes his place in the ranks of the soldiers, beside the white man—then in the name of humanity, give him a chance to live as well as to die. If you will not do it in the name of humanity, then do it in the name of economy, for it is an economical essential, that everybody who can produce be given every opportunity to produce the best that he can, and as a working man cannot work well with tools, so you cannot expect the colored man to be efficient if you do not give him the essentials of decent living. He does not ask you to take him into your home and entertain him—you have a right to select your social acquaintances—but he does ask that he be given the right to live respectably and comfortably and not be discriminated against in his labor. The writer is now making an experiment in an effort to break down the prejudice against the employment of colored people in any but menial service. He is endeavoring at this time to find employment for nearly a thousand young colored girls between the ages of 16 and 21—girls who are well educated, who are refined, and would give employers faithful and efficient service in clerical, office, or light manufacturing employment, and he hopes that this book will be widely read, if for no other reason than that it will bring to the attention of his readers the fact that we have thousands of young colored women who possess splendid qualifications, some of them even with college or university education, who are clamoring for an opportunity to serve in higher employment, and he hopes and prays that these unfortunate but deserving people will be given every chance to better their condition. We are "our brother's keeper," and the sooner we realize that, and the sooner we realize that race, creed, and color do not make a jot of difference, that a man stands or falls by virtue of his character, and that character, after all, is the test, the sooner will we make the life happier, not only for others, but for ourselves. EMMETT J. SCOUTT'S HISTORY OF NEGRO'S PART IN GREAT WAR. A Complete and Comprehensive Narrative of Racial Courage, Capacity and Rare Quality as a 100 Per Cent. American—Book To Be Issued Soon. By R. W. Thompson, Correspondent. Washington, D. C., March 31.—It is expected that the comprehensive story of the part played by the Negro in the world war, announced some time ago by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, now serving in the War Department as special assistant to the secretary of war, will be issued about the first of June. It will be brought before the people by a publishing house, the officers of which recognize the tremendous interest of the colored people in this subject, and the aim of the projectors will be to place a copy in every school and home in America. The history will not only be a complete story of the valorous deeds of the colored fighting units on the battlefields of France and a thorough-going recital of the essential work done by the not less courageous men behind the lines "over there," but it will offer an enduring record of the valued labors of the soldier lads in the camps and cantonments here at home, and tell of the sacrifices and services of the patriotic men and women who gave the best that was in them to help this nation to win the war for freedom and democracy. As has been announced before, associated with Dr. Scott in this big undertaking will be a number of agencies which assure a comprehensive and authoritative history of the important part the colored people of the United States have played in the great struggle. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1919 ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Among these co-operating agencies are Frank Parker Stockbridge, publicity director of the American Library Association, New York; Dr. Robert E. Park, professorial lecturer in sociology, University of Chicago; Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of research, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc.; William Anthony Avery, publication secretary, Hampion Normal and Agricultural Institute; Monroe N. Work, director Division of Records and Research, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute; Ralph W. Tyler, accredited representative of the Committee on Public Information at the war front in France; Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson, who has helped to mobilize the colored women of the country for war work under the auspices of the Women's Committee, Council of National Defense, and Miss Eva D. Bowles, executive secretary in charge of Colored Work, Young Women's Christian Association. A staff of assistants of experienced and technical training is now at work gathering and compiling a vast amount of material under the auspices of these co-operating agencies. Dr. Scott's history will probably contain between 500 and 600 pages, with something like 100 or more illustrations. He desires to secure the photograph of each and every colored officer who served overseas, as well as the photograph and biographical sketch of such non-commissioned officers and privates who were decorated with the Croix de Guere, Distinguished Service Cross or other recognition of that character. It is suggested also that ministers, soldiers, parents of soldiers, or any other persons having data bearing upon the war—scenes, incidents or experiences that may be of historical value, as well as conspicuous examples of war work of organizations and individuals throughout the country, send such matter at once to Emmett J. Scott at Roome 144-146, State, War and Navy Building, Washington, D. C., for incorporation in this very complete and comprehensive narrative of the Negro's courage, capacity and rare quality as a 100 per cent American. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Mrs. T. A. Edwards has been seriously ill with pneumonia in the past week. She is reported to be greatly improved at this writing. Mrs. Wm. Robinson of Denver, sister of Hrs. Edwards, came up to attend her. Mrs. S. L. Willis departed Monday afternoon for Springfield, IL, to be with Mr. Willis. Mr. Willis has been in Springfield for the past month or so seeking health; while there he has been the guest of his son and daughter. The funeral of Mr. James Williams was held from the Early mortuary Thursday, March 27. Mrs. J. F. Debity, the mother of Mr. Williams, arrived in Cheyenne Wednesday, March 25, from Ardmore, Pa., returning Friday, March 28, the next day after the funeral. Presiding Elder Pope passed through the city Friday en route to Casper, where he held quarterly meeting on Sunday last. The Civic League met at the A. M. E. Church annex, Thursday evening of last week. A very interesting address was delivered by Rev. Rodgers. Every man and woman of Cheyenne that is interested in the uplift of their race and the sons and daughters of the race should attend these meetings. There is a great work to be done and is being done through the Civic League meeting Thursday evening of each week. Will you come next meeting? A man by the name of James Black was found dead in his room Saturday at which place he was rooming. He died upon his knees, which indicates that he surely must have died praying. The man is little known in Chian and none of his relatives have been located at this writing. Mrs. A. M. Palmer received the glad tidings of the return of her brother from France to Grand Island, his home. Mrs. Palmer is expecting to leave in a few days to visit him and other relatives of Grand Island. Reverend and Mrs. W. L. N. Baker have arrived in the city for a visit. Reverend Baker expects to leave on Saturday for Thermopolis to take a new charge and build an A. M. E. church there. TROUBLES AND TRIALS. There are a great many troubles and trials and unpleasant things in this world, enough to keep us in a perpetual fret, fever and turmoil, if we allow ourselves to be fretted by them. But many of them are not worth fretting about or caring for; they are of little consequence, and we should pay little regard to them. A woman says something which is not pleasant. If we make trouble about it, she will perhaps repeat what she said, and say as much more. If we say nothing, that will end it. The best course in such a case is to pass it by, and say nothing. Many a quarrel which is exceedingly bitter today will tomorrow be lost to view. Next year we shall wonder that we worried or fretted or were disturbed by the petty trials which crossed our path. A friend may grow unkind, an enemy may be malicious; never mind, pass it by. Clouds may be dark, but the sunshine will come tomorrow, and the afflictions and trials of the present will pass before the brightness of the days to come. Bury the troubles that are past; bear the troubles of the present; do not worry about any troubles of the future. Meet each trial as it comes, and in a majority of cases the best course will be to pass it by, and leave it with God. Case Will Be Appealed. St. Louis, Mo., April 3.—Dr. LeRoy N. Bundy, dentist, and prominent in civic matters in his former home at East St. Louis, Ill., was declared guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment by the circuit court in Waterloo, Ill., Friday. The conviction is the outcome of charges preferred against Dr. Bundy as the results of the East St. Louis riots in July, 1917. It is certain that there will be a motion for a new trial, and the case will be appealed if this is denied.

Richmond, Va., March 17.—Colored people of this city have begun an aggressive campaign in behalf of better living conditions and better jobs from the city of Richmond. The movement is backed by all local colored organizations and is receiving much encouragement from the whites. The efforts are indorsed editorially by the Times-Dispatch (white), which says: "From the standpoint of public health, to say nothing of simple justice to the colored people themselves, the city cannot afford to delay longer the relief that is sought." London, England, March 19.—The Royal Academy of London is holding an exhibition of nearly 400 paintings depicting Canada's part in the late war.

It will be officially opened early in April. Secretary Baker will accept the hospitality of the Salvation Army in the name of the Army and Secretary Daniels for the Navy. Each secretary will deliver a speech. OFFICERS ANGRY AT COLOR LINE. New York, March 10.—The colored officers of the 365th infantry, 317th sanitary train, 367th infantry and the 350th F. A. say they have been grossly insulted. They say they were "jim-crowed" on the return trip of the U. S. S. Olympic, which arrived here Monday from France. They allege they were relegated to the tea room of the ship while white officers, nurses and field clerks were seated in the main dining room with passengers. According to James G. Wiley, a colored secretary of the Y. M. C. A., the demand of the colored officers for fair play and their letters to Brig. Gen. Charles Gearhart resulted in his saying that the colored officers got the same service as in the main dining-room. Mr. Wiley said: "This paradox on democracy has aroused the greatest feeling of indignation among those officers, some of whom wear the Croix de Guerre. They feel that the democracy for which they have been fighting is either false to its pretenses or that southern generals are allowed to misrepresent the true spirit of the nation. "Feeling among the officers is aggrivated by the fact that the regimental flag and colors of the 365th infantry were salvaged and lost. It is known that this is the result of negligence and lack of regard for the flag that was astonishing, to rat it mildly." COMPLIMENTARY. The Colorado Statesman claims to be the only reliable Negro paper in Colorado, and the best colored advertising medium for substantial and up-to-date business in our city, and this is once more endorsed in a letter we received this week from a drug company in Denver that has been advertising with us several years, and who confirms our business integrity as they state that whenever they are compelled to hold out on advertising for a month we do not grumble or endeavor to scare their patrons away as our contemporary does with his threat, if a week's advertisement is lost as in the following: "Watch the drug stores that patronize us and patronize them."

He broke into this store and stole cigars, tobacco, candy, crackers, canned goods, a couple of watches, some other small articles and a few dollars in cash. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The war between the sugar beet growers of Montrose and the Holly Sugar corporation has been definitely settled and the growers will plant plenty of sugar beets. The total crop will be about 10,000 acres or enough to furnish 120,000 tons. The beet growers won their $10-a-ton price for all beets delivered up to a certain time, late in the fall, and after that the market on sugar is to determine the price. Everything has been satisfactorily arranged. A whisky-laden automobile, which was taken by the sheriff when its driver fled, was confiscated with the liquor by County Judge Hood at Brighton when the case came up.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN That at least nine of the thirteen piers already erected on Hyle bridge, across the Platte river east of Greeley are defective and will have to be replaced or at least repaired at an enormous expense is the opinion of the county engineer, who has just made an inspection of the bridge, and taken large quantities of disintegrated gravel and pebbles from the piers. Pike's peak will be ascended by a battle tank as an advertising feature of the Victory Liberty Loan before the loan campaign begins. J. M.

Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. County clerks are allowed to record discharge certificates of returned soldiers without charging-a fee, according to an opinion rendered by Attorney General Victor E. Keyes. The opinion was given in response to an inquiry by State Auditor Arthur M. Stong, who has received numerous requests from county clerks asking if the state auditor's office, in conducting examinations of county records, would hold the clerks responsible for the fees in such cases. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Labor leaders and state officials who have to do with industrial affairs assured Samuel D. Nicholson, state chairman of the coming Victory loan campaign, that labor stands ready and willing to meet the obligation to be imposed on it and will make a sacrifice in order that Colorado may again subscribe more than its loan quota. Parvino Parmona, a Pueblo Italian, was beheaded at Pueblo when he attempted to steal a ride on a Missouri Pacific freight train in the yards. A brakeman saw him along the track, carrying an overcoat, and, looking back a moment later saw him fall from between two cars and the train pass over his neck. TWODOLLARSAYEAR That General Villa was not only far from vicious but was extremely cordial and courteous towards them is the statement of three Mormon missionaries, Bishop J. C. Bentley, James T.

Governor Shoup has issued a proclamation calling on the Women's Council of Defense to continue its organization intact until after Colorado shall have subscribed its quota for the Victory Liberty Loan campaign.

If one could only know the origin of all the many words we use in our daily talk, one would know much of the history of dress. Many of our most recently adopted clothes words come from France, but five hundred years ago dress terms more usually came from Italy, then the mecca of fashion. Hence, velvet came from “velluto,” the Itallan word to indl- cate shaggy. And “camesole,” which has recently been revived from an earlier English usage, came from the Ttallan diminutive of chemise. Maize Grown in China. Indian corn, or maize, is grown ex- tensively throughout the entire sec- tion of China. It is generally planted after the wheat is harvested and in fields with beans, the beans ripening after the corn is harvested. The lack ‘of scientific seed selection prevents the production of as large a yield as would otherwise be obtained.

NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH WEEK. THE National Negro Health Week, which is to be held April 5-12, promises to be the most effective clean up campaign since the movement was initiated and endorsed through the wise suggestion of our late revered Booker T. Washington. A regular program beginning today, when exercises will be held in commemoration of the birthday of Dr. Washington, is offered the public. The National Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign Bureau of St. Louis, Missouri, through the generosity of Allen W. Clark, will again award three silver cups to the communities conducting the best clean-up campaign, and every one of any town or district is requested to be interested in this movement. The ministers of the churches are specially requested to give sound advice on how to keep physically and morally clean, and it is hoped that the attendants at these services will profit largely by putting into practice the very good instructions that will be given them. The succeeding days will be known as fire prevention, clean house, yard day, paint up and whitewash day, fly, mosquito and rat day, and vacant lot day, and a committee of inspection will decide what communities are deserving of the coveted awards. The scourge of the "flu" which, although greatly decreased, is not entirely gone from us, should offer quite an incentive towards this very necessary clean-up action, and we are sure not only our people in Denver, but all over the state a special effort will be made to carry out the suggestion of this committee who think people's health comes first and everything else will be added to the comfort and enjoyment of long life. THE NEGRO AND THE RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD WHEN the Rev, Father William O'Ryan, priest in charge of the large and influential parish of Saint Leo of the Roman Catholic Diocese in this city, in the opening remarks of his address last Sunday afternoon at Shorter A. M. E. Church, under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People said: "No race can advance by any outside help, they must help themselves by RACIAL SOLIDARITY," also, "Advancement must come from within," he struck the key note that leaders of our race—men of backbone, qualified for leadership, with the grit and stamina to herald this truth in corner and in public, in household and in palace, anywhere and everywhere, have been trying to impress their fellow-members for the past half century and more. Some argue that we harp too much on racial tie, affiliation and consolidation, but of the more than four hundred persons who listened with rapt attention to this great Christian teacher on the fundamentals that go to make and fit a people for useful service, in obedience to the laws of God and taking the stand for right, which should be the heritage of every human being, no one could be otherwise than inspired to take new thought, new hope and courage to meet this period that is drawing on the world with a rapidity almost beyond our imagination and realization. In his usual style with powers oratorical and rhetorical at his command, Father O'Ryan graphically portrayed the RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD, proving the effect it will have on our industrial and commercial life, and in emphasizing that RECONSTRUCTION meant more than the building of a few homes or restoration to good circumstances of a few families, the worthy divine again touched a chord the vibrant tones of which resounded in the hearts of his hearers, when he thundered out, "And this Reconstruction will bring TRUE DEMOCRACY, which means that every man, woman and child, irrespective of race, should live and be accepted as a man, woman and child." After referring to the larger vision that must come to humanity and pitying the followers of Bolshevism and Applied Socialism, who are being led blindly, he spoke of HUMAN FREEDOM. And here Father O'Ryan displayed as on other occasions his humanitarian spirit, yea, his strict devotion to the teachings of the Man of men, when in clear and unmistakable language he uttered, "I don't like the South, I'm sorry to say," and as if heaven's high arches reflected the sounds in approval of the expression, there was at the moment a deep silence, then a flash of rejoicing that Foraker, Madden, Emerson, Madison Peters and other staunch advocates of Democracy, of modern civilization and world-wide progressiveness in which every man should be given a man's chance had their counterpart in this religious head. Deploring the conditions existing in the South, where in certain states (Georgia and Alabama chiefly) laws were enacted forbidding white teachers to instruct their darker brothers and give them a curriculum of educational training alike themselves, the speaker of the hour deeply moved, denounced this action as unconstitutional and anti-Christian. Then as it were to resurrect the great responsibility devolving on us, this exponent of the Christian doctrine, in advising the working out of our salvation among ourselves, impressed us with this fact, that we are the masters of our own fate and the captains of our own souls, and bringing a number of historical proofs relative to the rise and fall of nations, the continuous and permanent advancement of a people, he urged the following as standards which must inevitably bring the result that will demand equal rights for all human beings: EDUCATION, THRIFT, INDUSTRY and CHRISTIANITY. Elaborating on these great features, in which he forcibly pointed to the great benefaction to humanity if they adhere to them, Father O'Ryan concluded with the wisdom of "a little in the savings bank, the acquisition of a home, and faithful service to the Christ—the Head of our religion," which offers that dignity and self-respect that will make imperative man's fellowship with his fellow-man in the way that God intended. The N. A. A. C. P. was bountifully rewarded in securing the services of one of Denver's great leaders, and an invaluable asset to the commonwealth of Colorado, and the COLORADO STATESMAN feels that the time is ripe for RACE SOLIDARITY, which means the acceptance of a man who is worthy of the name MAN regardless of his race or color. How the Selective Draft Proved an Impossible Task Easily Possible By GEN. E. H. CROWDER, Provost Marshal General, U. S. A. We are now too close to the events of the war to assess them accurately. How great a part the American selective service played in the drama of the world war history alone can tell. M. That a new and untried scheme of selection could succeed at all was to many doubtful; that it should attain results beyond the fondest dreams of its most ardent supporters was unbelievable. To enroll for service 24,000,000 men, to mobilize a selected army of more than 2,800,000, a million of them in ninety days; to have presently available for military duty 2,000,000 additional men; to classify this vast man power in the order of its military and industrial importance so as to preserve the domestic and industrial life of the nation, to speed up war-time activities, to maintain them in a state of maximum efficient production, and to pave the way to a speedy return to normal peace-time pursuits while recruiting the full fighting strength of the nation—these are results that would be instantly rejected as impossible did not the actual facts stand. Truly were we the melting pot of the world; and the cosmopolitan composition of our population was never more strikingly disclosed than by the recent events of the world war. Then the melting pot stood in the fierce fires of the national emergency, and its contents, heated in the flames, either fused into the compact mass or floated off as dross. The great and inspiring revelation here has been that men of foreign and of native origin alike responded to the call to arms with a patriotic devotion that confounded the cynical plans of our archenemy and surpassed our own highest expectations. No man can peruse the muster roll of one of our camps, or the casualty list from a battlefield in France, without realizing that America has fulfilled one of its highest missions in breeding a spirit of common loyalty among all those who have shared the blessings of life on its free soil. I am certain that no great national undertaking was ever begun which depended so utterly upon faith in a people for its execution, and undoubtedly no faith has ever been more completely justified and no confidence more abundantly rewarded. Remarkable and Legitimate Revival of Thoroughbred Racing Due By "JACK" JOYNER, Veteran Horse Trainer The general public is once more keenly interested in racing, and, now that the war is over and the people of the country as a whole have begun to realize the great value of racing as the testing ground for the improvement of our future cavalry and artillery service, I look for a remarkable and thoroughly legitimate revival of the sport—provided, however, that certain matters of serious importance to its welfare receive due consideration, and that the necessary action follows: First of all there should be some restrictive regulation of our now excessive two-year-old racing. In England, through the fact that purses and stakes are restricted in value until July 1, high-class youngsters are not started before that date. Moreover, owners and trainers do not, as a rule, start their high-class two-year-olds more than three or four times during their first year on the turf, reserving them for the three-year-old "classics" and later valuable events. In France no two-year-old is allowed to start in any event until August 1. As a natural result in these countries a much larger number of speedy, well-proportioned and developed two-year-olds, with their vitality unimpaired, are seen at the close of the season each year. Legislation by the Jockey club or a spirit of co-operation upon the part of the associations is essential. A series of events—stakes as well as handicaps—should be inaugurated. The money so largely given to two-year-old events should be added to these distance events. This would make them of sufficient value to make it worth while for owners and trainers to point their best horses for these contests. In my opinion, contrary to that of several other students of racing, the average American thoroughbred of today has deteriorated from his predecessor of ten to thirty years ago. Certainly as a stayer, and I am not convinced that even the sprinter of fifteen years ago was not a better all-round horse, making due allowance, of course, for the faster records shown owing to the speedier tracks of today. That there has not been the improvement justifiably expected with our recent importations of high-class foreign sires is due to excessive two-year-old racing and the almost total elimination of distance racing. Flanders Fields Poppy and Torch of Liberty for War Service Flags By MISS MOINA MICHAEL, University of Georgia Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high; If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep through poppies grow In Flanders fields. Col. John McGraw Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high; If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep through poppies grow In Flanders fields. —Lleut. Col. John McCrae. And now the torch and poppy red We wear in honor of our dead. Fear naught that ye have died for naught; We've learned the lesson that ye taught In Flanders fields. —Molna Michael. Out of every great event and for every great cause has come some fitting memorial. The great American organization of mercy has its red cross; the Y. M. C. A. its red triangle. For the boys serving their country on land or sea came the service star flag and pin. The service flag met the psychological demand during the war, but now a new need has arisen. Something is needed to keep alive that thrill which we all feel now for the inspiration and the triumph of the fight for democracy. The poppy should be the victory flower, and the torch of liberty the emblem chosen by a grateful world to memorialize the devoted sacrifice of men who, like the hero author of "In Flanders Fields," gave their all to save humanity. Let us keep faith with them. The number of men who served could be shown by the service star—of blue if they lived and of gold if they have died—in the upper left-hand corner; service bars in the lower left-hand corner would tell the length of time served with the colors. The insignia of the branch of the service in the upper right-hand corner, and wound stripes—if warranted—in the lower right corner would make the story complete at a glance. Attention!

People's Presbyterian Church, Twenty-third Ave. and Washington St., Monday evening, April 28th, 1919. Admission 25 cents. Curtis Harris, popular citizen, has been appointed deputy assessor by Clair J. Pitcher, manager of finance and city treasurer. Mr. Harris, who well deserves this appointment, will make good, we are sure, as his general painstaking quality will make his duties less arduous, and his courtesy to the public will relieve him of any unforeseen obstructions that may arise in the discharge of his official duties. Mr. Fred Chamberlin, real estate dealer, is managing the campaign of Cass Herrington, candidate for mayor of Denver, while the Hon. Frank C. Goudy, attorney at law, will be campaign manager for Dewey C. Bailey, who is also an aspirant for this chief city position.

WALTER PRITCHETT, our popular and highly esteemed townsman, removed his family to Chapelton last Saturday, where he hopes to permanently reside and give another proof of his push, spirit and business ability to bring this part of Colorado to a standard of recognition equal to any. An employé of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, his good services have so impressed his employers that Mr. Pritchett is allowed to install five miles of telephone wires connecting Chapelton to the Dearfield Colony and persons will be able to converse at long distance as well as a long felt want to be supplied for the benefit of the colonists. Knowing this young man's ability to do things, the Colorado Statesman hopes a brilliant success for his new venture in his acquisition of the Hazell ranch, one of the finest properties in the Colony, and some day sooner or later Colorado will be proud of another representative son of the West.

Indications point to the closest contest ever to be witnessed in a municipal election in Denver for several years. John Brisben Walker, Sidney Eastwood, Judge Henry Johnson, Cass Herrington and Dewey C. Bailey, the latter now occupying the position of manager of excise and safety, are the candidates for mayor. All have lived in Denver for many years, and as professional men, men of wealth, good reputation, always desirous to assist, in city improvements and boosting for Denver, the public will not have a very easy time in their selection. Each has announced his platform, which he believes will be greatly beneficial to the people, and up to this time the COLORADO STATESMAN advises our large body of electors to follow closely the platforms of these candidates and LOOK WELL BEFORE YOU LEAP. REV. A. E. REYNOLDS ACCEPTS CALL FROM PORTLAND. ORE. Rev. A. E. Reynolds, after nearly eleven years service at Bethlehem Baptist Church in this city, goes to Mount Villa Baptist, Portland, Oregon. He will preach his farewell sermon tomorrow evening, when an opportunity will be given members and friends to say goodbye and a wish for abundant success in his new field of labor. The reverend gentleman is the senior pastor in point of service and is chairman of the Ministerial Alliance. He has served in the Master's cause for twenty-two years and has been materially helpful in acquiring a beautiful edifice for worship for the people of Bethlehem. During his career here he has suffered much bereavement through the death of his eldest son and a daughter, but his surviving children help to make his life pleasant. He will be very much missed by his faithful flock and the Colorado Statesman wishes him and Mrs. Reynolds every success in their new church home, commending them to the kindness and support of their members. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The present week has witnessed hot times at the Y building, the rivalry between the boys of the different clubs becoming very keen and increasing with every meeting. The All-Employed boys at first showed signs of "cold feet," and seemed to be inclined to "lay down" to the Hi-Y boys; but they soon rallied their forces and prepared for the conflicts. The opening contest in billiards was played off Tuesday evening between Dave Mayo for the All-Employed and Conway Gray for the Hi-Y. It looked at first as if the opening game was going to the latter club, but Mayo pulled himself together and won out, the score being 25 to 10. The spelling contest between the two clubs will come off on Thursday evening, but it is too early at this writing to forecast the result. A fine bunch of Hi-Y's met together for their hour on Tuesday evening, one new member being added to the club. They first listened to an address by Mr. Arnold, City Wide Boys' Work secretary. The rest of the hour was given to Bible study and to business. The club of smaller boys which meets every Saturday morning had a great time at the last meeting. The indoor baseball score (which was played on the outside) was 43-42 or 43-43, it will never be known which, owing to mix-up in the count just at the last of the game. Boxing and wrestling made up the remainder of the program, when the hour was closed by the reading of a Bible story. Mrs. Lettie M. Outlaw, who has recently come to the city from Greenwood, Miss, will speak at the meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Mrs. Outlaw is a well informed and cultured lady, knows every phase of Southern life and has a most interesting story to tell. We feel sure that every one will be glad to hear her. The meeting begins promptly at 4 o'clock. All are invited to come. SCOTT METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Twenty-sixth Avenue and Clarkson Street, Rev. Samuel Arthur Striplin, Pastor.

CHURCH COMES HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Rev. Samuel Arthur Striplin, for seven years in the Muskogee and Topeka districts, including Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado in the capacity of District Superintendent, comes to Denver as pastor in charge of Scott Methodist Episcopal Church highly recommended by the conference, which closed its session a week ago. A graduate of Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., and passing a very creditable examination after his course of study and preparation for the ministry at Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, he was ordained twenty-three years ago and now continues in his Master's cause. The Rev. Striplin's ministerial experience covers a wide area, and his delight in being possessed of the real missionary spirit creates an endearment not only of the particular church he pastors, but of the community wherever he labored as his broad interpretation of Christianity, and his vision of the charge: "Go ye into the world and preach the gospel to every creature," strengthens his resolution to advocate the greatest usefulness of religion—Community Welfare Work, that is now permeating the world. The pastor's family consist of his wife and two sons of the ages of 17 and 15 respectively, and they will join him at the close of the present school term in Kansas, whence they will arrive in Denver to assist in the religious and social work. This we understand is a special appointment in order that Scott Church will take its proper place as a power for good, and already plans are under way for the erection of a very imposing edifice dedicated to God's work. THE COLORADO STATESMAN joins the community in wishing the Rev. Striplin and family a very successful career and may their sojourn be long and beneficial to the community. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN.

Finances and Service Any business, large or small, must ultimately fail if its expense of operation is in excess of its revenues. In the case of our Company the service is involved as well as the financial factor. Telephone service is dependent upon the condition of the plant, the efficiency of the employees and the solvency of the Company. Inadequate revenues must eventually result in poor maintenance of plant, wages too low to attract the most competent employees, and aloofness of capital when it is required for plant extensions to meet the needs of growing communities. These conditions make it impossible to render the class of service demanded by the public. And these are the conditions threatening the Telephone Company now under its tremendously increased costs and with revenues remaining at a pre-war level. Gradually operating costs advanced, narrowing the margin between revenue and expense, crossed the line and still continued upward until we are now operating under a deficit of alarming proportions. This creates a problem in which the public and the Company are mutually interested.

America’s Immortals Mid obdtans tochcons of ses ore ‘Cross has been awarded Stories of personal bravery that would be almost unbelievable were they not told in official reports are disclosed by the war department's records of the awards of the Dis. tinguished Service Cross to mem- bers of the American Expeditionary forces. Following are a few of the official reports that have been se- lected by General Pershing’s own staff as presenting most striking in- stances of gallantry on the part of American soldiers under fire: SAMUEL WOODFILL, First Lieutenant, Company M, 60th Infantry. Three acts of conspicuous daring in one day near Cunel, France, October 12, 1918, won the Distinguished Serv- tee Cross for Lieut. Woodfil. While he was leading his company against the enemy his line came under heavy machine gun fire, which threatened to hold up the advance. Followed by two soldiers at twenty-five yards, this officer went out ahead of his first line toward a machine gun nest and worked his way around its flank, leav- Ing the two soldiers In front. When he got within ten yards of the gun it ceased firing and four of the enemy appeared, three of whom were shot by Lieut, Woodfill. The fourth, an officer, rushed at Lieut. Woodfill, who attempted to club the officer with his rifle. After a hand-to-hand struggle, Lieut. Woodfill killed the officer with his pistol. His company thereupon continued to advance until shortly afterward another machine gun nest was encountered, Calling his men to follow, Lieut. Woodfill rushed ahead of his lne in the face of heavy fire from the nest, and when several of the enemy appeared above the’ nest he shot them, capturing three other members of.the crew and silencing the gun. A few minutes later this officer, for the third time, demonstrated con spleuous daring by charging another machine gun position, killing flve mer in one machine gun pit with his rifle He then drew his revolver and started to jump into the pit when two other gunners only a few yards away turned thelr gun on him, Falling to kill them with his revolver, he grabbed a pick lying near by and killed both of them. Inspired by the exceptional courage displayed by this officer, his men pressed on to their objective under severe shell and machine gun fire Lieat. Woodfll is married and lives at 167 Alexandria Pike, Fort Thomas, Ky. GEORGE H. MALLON, Captain, 132nd Infantry. Capt. Mallon was decorated for in- trepidity beyond the call of duty in the Boise de Forges, France, Septem- ber 26, 1918. Becoming separated from the balance of his company be- cause of a fog, Capt. Mallon, with nine soldiers, pushed forward and attacked nine hostile machine guns, capturing all of them without the loss of a man. Oontinuing on through the woods, he led his men in attacking a battery of 450 mm. howitzers which were in ac- tion, rushing the position and captur- ing the battery and {ts crew. In this encounter Capt, Mallon personally at- tacked one of the enemy with his fists. Later when the party came upon two more machine guns, this officer sent men to the flanks, while he rushed forward directly in the face of the fire and silenced the guns, being the firat one of the party to reach the nest. ‘The exceptional ga'lantry and determination displayed by Capt. Mal- lon resulted in the capture of 100 pris- oners, eleven machine guns, four 450 mm. howitzers and one anti-aircraft gun, Capt. Mallon’s home address ts 1981 Hallock street, Kansas City, Mo. —ma— WILLIAM R. PECK. Sergeant, Company C, 354th Infantry. Sergt. Peck (deceased) received the Distinguished Service Cross for con- spteuous gallantry in action near Re- manville November 1, 1918. He was advancing with his company across ‘an open field when enemy guns opened fire on them from two sides. The at- tention of the platoon commander was directed to the gun on his direct front, while the enemy on the right was lev: eling his gun upon him. Seeing the predicament of his commander, Sergt. Peek threw himself against the offi cer, pushing him into a shell hole, but exposing himself to the fire. which in- stantly killed him. His home was in Washburn, Wis. a HAROLD W. ROBERTS, Corporal, Company A, 344th Battalion, Tank Corps. For deliberately going to his death to save a companion in the Montre- beau woods, France, October 4, 1918, Corp. Roberts was awarded the Dis. tinguished Service Cross. Corp. Rob- erts, a tank driver, was moving his tank into a clump of bushes to af- ford protection to another tank which hhad been disabled, The tank slid into a shell hole, ten feet deep, filled with water, and was tmmediately sub- merged. Knowing that only one of the two men In the tank could es cape, Corp. Roberts said to the gun ner, “Well, only one of us can get out, and out you go,” whereupon he pushed his companion through the back door of the tank and was him- self drowned. orp, Roberts’ home address was 5 Market street, San Francisco, Cal. ———- a ALAN LOUIS EGGERS. Sergeant, M. G. Co. 107th Infantry. Unusual bravery displayed in alding comrades in distress near Catelot, France, September 29, 1918, won the Distinguished Service Cross for Sergt. Eggers. Becoming separated from their platoons by a smoke barrage, Sergt. Eggers, Sergt. John G. Latham and Corporal Thomas E, O'Shea took ‘cover in a shell hole well within the enemy’s lines, Upon hearing a call for help from an American tank, which had become disabled, thirty yards from them, the three soldiers left thelr shel- ter and started toward the tank, under heavy fire from Germau machine guns and trench mortars. In crossing the fire-swept area, Corp. O’Shea was mor- tally wounded but his companions, un- deterred, proceeded to the tank, res- cued a wounded officer, and assisted two soldiers to cover in the sap of a nearby trench. Sergt. Eggers and Sergt. Latham then returned to the tank in the face of the violent fire, dismounted a Hotchkiss gun and took it back to where the wounded men were, keeping off the enemy all day by the effective use of the gun, and later bringing it, with the wounded men, back to our lines under cover of dark- ness. Sergt. Eggers’ home 1s at 152 Summit avenue, Summit, N. J. J. HUNTER WICKERSHAM, Second Lieutenant, 353rd_ Infantry. For conspicuous gallantry, resulting in his death, near Limey, France, Sep- tember 12, 1918, Lieut. Wickersham was awarded the Distinguished Sery- ice Cross. Advancing with his platoon during the St. Mihlel offensive, Lieut. Wickersham was severely wounded in four places by the bursting of a high explosive shell. Before recelving any ‘ald for himself, he dressed the wounds of his orderly, who was wounded at the same time, He then ordered and accompanied the further advance of iis platoon, although weakened by the loss of blood. His right hand and arm being disabled by wounds, he contin- ued to fire his revolver with his left hand until, exhausted by the loss of blood, he fell and died from his wounds before aid could be adminis- tered. Lieut. Wickersham’s home ad- dress was 3416 Colfax boulevard, Den- ver, Colo. r aS MARCELLUS H. CHILES, Cantain. 386th Infantry. Capt. Chiles was decorated for con- splcuous bravery in action, which re- sulted in his death near Le Champy Bas, France, November 8, 1918. When his battalion, of which he had just ‘taken commend, was halted by ma- ‘chine gun fire from the front and left flank, Capt. Chiles picked up the rifle of a dead soldier and, calling on “his men to follow, led the advance across fa stream walst deep, in the face of the machine gun fire. Upon reach- ing the opposite bank, this gallant offi- cer was seriously wounded in the ab- domen by a sniper, but before permit- ting himself to be evacuated he made complete arrangements for turning over his command to the next senior officer, and under the inspiration of his fearless leadership his battalion reached its objective. Capt. Chiles died shortly after reaching the hos- pital. His home was at 2815 West Thirty-seventh street, Denver, Colo, Si : ROY W. REEVES, Corporal, 96th Company, Sixth Marines Corp.

During a stiffly contested hand grenade fight Corp. Reeves saw a grenade fall in the midst of five of his comrades. Without hesitation he rushed forward and picked {t up, hurl- ing it from the trench. The grenade exploded a few yards from his hand, wounding him severely, but his act averted Injury to all of his comrades. —m— EARL J. CHEEVERS, ~~ Sergeant, Headquarters Co. 1$2nd Infantry.

Paris, April 4.—President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd George, Clemen- ceau and Orlando continued thelr dis- cussion at President Wilson's rest- ‘tence Other peace conference or- ganizations also met. All the confer- ences tended to unravel the tangled ‘Issues still standing in the way of peace. ‘The meetings proceeded aiid ‘an- other wave of apprehension spreading ‘through the conference over lack of ‘any tangible results after the council ‘of four had labored continuously for ‘ten days. ‘This was accompanied by well: founded reports from those close im ‘touch with the council of four show- ‘ing that the situation, while not des- perate, was at least serious because ‘of radical differences on some funda- ‘mentals in the settlement of Ger- ‘many's western, the Franco-German and the eastern Polish frontiers. | One of the American experts who is constantly being consulted on ques- ‘tions before the council, gives the fol- lowing glimpses of what is going on behind the scenes : “Phe situation is extremely difficult, particularly as regards the western frontier of Germany, “President Wilson, in a concilatory spirit, las been willing to do most anything to assure French security short of the stultification of engage- ment made at the time of the armls- tee, “The French have been assured of every military protection along the Rhine and for fifty kilometers east of that river, even to the extent of con- sidering that any military activity in that section shall be looked upon as a hostile act. ( “But this is not considered enough, and additional claims lead to the con- vietion that they are open to construc- tlon as meaning something more than military security and verging on terrl- torial control, “The President 1s not willing to go that far in creating more Alsace-Lor- raine situations, and it fs this stand against these claims which is causing the delays until some middle ground is found.” AS 4 means of finding the “middle ground” on the Rhine controversy the Superior Council of four created a consulting body consisting of Andre Tardieu, French; Charles H. Haskins, American, and Viscount Morley, Brit- ish, To intimates they were not optt- mistie on the progress that is being made. WESTERN BEEF CO a 4 4 . Open Daily to 880° p. m.

Have you backed up the boys in war finance? -Have you set aside all you can afford for the Victory Liberty Loan? Remember! The Yanks are watching you just as intently as they are watching the Rhine. -They have a right to know who supported them and who did not. The Yank did more than his share, he gave; you are asked only to lend. Time was money to him and he gave this time freely, every minute of it, for months and even years. The money you lend the Government is paid back with interest. The time the soldier gave to his country can never be replaced or returned to him. Months ago when the boys went across you made a contract with them. You said if they would go over and fight your battles for you you'd back them up. You followed bands and cheered patriotic speeches and you hoped we'd lick the everlasting stuffing out of the baby-killing Huns. Well, the boys did it. They fought and won a victory-your victory. They kept their part of the contract. Most of them are still over there on watch, guarding the Victory they won. HOW ABOUT YOU? What will you tell the returning soldiers? Can you face them and answer with a clear conscience? Not if you are able to invest in the Victory Liberty Loan and fail to do so. You should be grateful for victory and subscribe to the last loan according to the measure of your gratitude. YOUR PROMISE WAS SACRED. SEE THAT YOU KEEP IT SO.

(Larimer Car Only to 30th St.) T. DENVER, COLORADO R. F. LONG THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY OF VOILE AND SILK ! There are several styles in suits that have almost equal chances for popularity this spring and the only way to determine which is the best choice is to try them on. Straight, short coats, opening over vestees, with narrow plain skirts, are universally admired, but they are not universally becoming. If they were there is no doubt but that this type of suit would soon lead all the rest. The test of becomingness must settle the question of choice; no other consideration is so important. But there is quite a wide range in styles to choose from, so that every woman may be confident of finding the particular one that suits her best. One of the straight-coat-and-narrow-skirt models is shown in the picture and it is an extreme example of this mode, with a skirt rather too narrow to be practical. But to the woman who aspires to look slender it will certainly make a strong appeal, for the skirt is long as well as narrow. The very thin woman cannot consider it. OF VOILE Advance showing of pretty afternoon frocks for summer, reveal many lovely models made of sheer, plain volle. Besides these, there are striped and figured volles and among them some fine, imported weaves, that are to be reckoned with. The latter are high priced, in fact considerably more expensive than plain georgette. They appear in patterns and color combinations that are very beautiful. But even so, the dress of plain volle or georgette rarely suffers by comparison with a rival made of the figured patterns. The home dress maker will succeed offener with a plain fabric, especially if she makes a little excursion in designing on her own account. The frock of plain volle shown in the picture, bespeaks the work of a professional designer who is trained to make the most of fabrics—that is to adapt them to styles in the best way. In this case nothing is used with the volle but a little silk piping, but these simple means proved equal to making a dress of smart distinction and one that is easy enough to copy. All the sheer fabrics are made up over silk or satin and this frock has a underskirt and bodice of silk. A volle flounce of the volle is set on The coat is a pretty model with three wide tucks at the bottom and it opens over a waistcoat of plain tricolette that is very smart. It has a wide turnover collar and a row of large bone buttons down the left side. Braid and buttons decorate the pretty suit that is shown built on entirely different lines from its companion in the picture. It has a plain skirt wide enough to be comfortable for walking. The coat is made with long side bodies and a short panel at the center of the back to which a gathered skirt portion is added. Three groups of braid, with three rows in each group ending in bone buttons, dispose of the braid and button decoration in neat, tailored fashion, on the panel. The same decoration on the skirt portion ends in buttons on the side pieces and this plan is followed out on the front. For those who do not like braid or want a change from it the styles offer cross-bar and other arrangements of plintucks and groups of wider tucks in the material. AND SILK the underskirt and above it a tunic is accomplished by three hemmed flouces Set one above another. These are all narrower at the right than at the left side, so that the tunic is longer at the left side. The bodice is made in the effect of a little jacket of the volle, bordered with a band of it, set on with a piping of silk. The jacket reveals a vestee, also made of the volle and decorated with cross-bar tucks and the sleeves are set into deep cuffs of the tucked volle. For a girdle a ribbon woven in checkerboard pattern proves an effective bit of craftsmanship with little pendent balls of silk set on the bodice just above it at each side.

Navy leads all other colors for both suits and street dresses of the tailored type for spring, although a great deal of brown is shown in the dress lineup, and beige, tan and several shades of gray, especially a blue gray called "mouse." are very popular.
