LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE Commencement Exercises VOL. XXV. (Special to The Colorado Statesman.) HAMPTON, VA., June. 4.—Judge Robert H. Terrell of Washington, D. C., delivered the principal address at the annual Hampton Institute commencement exercises and Principal James E. Gregg presented diplomas to the graduating class, consisting of forty-four members. Leonidas E. Wilson, Roanoke, Va., was the salutatorian, and Myrtle E. McLeod, Jacksonville, Fla., was the valedictorian. Dr. Gregg introduced Judge Terrell as one who has made himself eminent, a Harvard graduate, a leading member of the bar in the District of Columbia, and a leader of his race. Judge Terrell said: TRIBUTES TO EDUCATORS. TRIBUTES TO EDUCATORS. "Our Civil War unfolded and brought to light some unusual men, Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong was preeminently one of them. Like Gen. Oliver O. Howard, he was a man of unquestioned patriotism and his meritorious exertions in behalf of the freedmen and the Indians proved him to be as noble as he was brave, equally willing to acknowledge his allegiance to the rights of man as to his country. Then came that other splendid man, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, whom the country learned to love, and who wrought so unselfishly and so effectively to carry on the work launched by his predecessor. We can not forget that, in Booker Washington, Hampton gave to the country the most constructive statesman the Negro has yet produced. And those of us who have faith in our best men see in that other distinguished son of Hampton, Robert Moton, a man of mighty and most helpful possibilities. "In a little more than fifty years, principally through the teachings and influence of such institutions as Hampton, the Negro has reached a position in the educational and industrial fields in our country that presents for his future a prospect in our country of which all its citizens, regardless of race, should be proud. And yet, if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that at this stage of his career the Negro is only on the threshold of the place reached by the people who are the real and positive forces in the higher regions of American life. But could we expect more in so short a period of time? ALL MEN UP "On account of his racial identity the struggle in the industrial field, always keen and severe, has been much harder for the Negro than for the other man. In one section of our country, arbitrary restraints have been devised and enforced against him on the specious plan that he belongs to an inferior race and that the kind of freedom that other men enjoy must not be his, lest he submerge and destroy the social institutions of a superior people. In the other section of the country, the Negro is allowed to exercise the right of suffrage, but, almost to a man, he has until recently been rigidly excluded from a participation in those industrial activities so necessary to the maintenance and very existence of the masses of any people. "God has blessed us, however, with an optimistic temperament and our race has an abiding faith in the ultimate triumph of our cause. We believe that the hard commonsense of the American people will bring them all to Theodore Roosevelt's way of thinking; namely, that it is better to have all men up than to have some men down. In a country like ours justice and equity will finally prevail. It is going to take time, but some day the white man in this country will recognize the black man as a brother. The white American and black American will stand side by side as fellow-citizens, speaking the same language, thinking the same thoughts, having the same ambitions, and cherishing the same ideals. Such a condition is necessarily one of slow growth. It can not be hastened unduly as long as people are human. "The one great task, therefore, that confronts the Negro and his friends today is the creation of a public sentiment, in the minds of the dominant race, in favor of giving to the Negro what is his as an American citizen—no more, no less. Let him stand or fall by the standards by which other Americans are measured in spite of the tremendous handicap that has been his throughout all the years. HAMPTON'S CONTRIBUTION. "I wonder whether we can appreciate fully all that Hampton has done for the Negro race in this country. Can we have any proper conception of the great debt of gratitude that we owe those consecrated souls, white men and white women, who left their homes of ease and comfort in other parts of the country and came South to put in motion the great educational system that has done so much to give a people just out of bondage a starting place that points the way to God's final day of light? And what a task they had! They were sailing on unknown seas, without chart or compass. "It is not difficult to instruct children whose ancestors have had the advantage of books and study for centuries. But here was a new problem; the training of the children of men and women who had just emerged from the darkness of slavery with all of its terrible woes and evil consequences—children for whom a favorable environment had to be created out of the most unfavorable conditions. These teachers had to undo what slavery had done and then begin the work of awakening in this offspring of slaves an inspiration and a taste for learning. "What a remarkable work they have done and what a firm foundation they have laid the records tell us in a most eloquent way. Through their efforts the Negro's ambition for learning has been beyond all praise. The Negro has responded most encouragingly to every one of his new educational opportunities and with him education has not been a failure." Dr. Gregg declared that the Hampton diplomas stand for achievement, broad scholarship, and trustworthiness,"You can have no higher ambition," he said, "than to prove yourselves DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1919 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1919 worthy of the respect, of the admiration, yes, more than this, worthy of the trust of your fellow-men.. Be leaders upon whom they can rely, of whom they can be sure. Such leaders your race calls for. Such leaders our Nation calls for. Hampton has tried to do her part in making you such men and women as the world wishes you to be." JAPANESE OPERETTA. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton Institute and well-known composer-plianist, arranged a most successful music festival for the school's commencement week. "O Hara San," a brand new Japanese operetta in two acts by Edward Johnston, with a libretto by Edith M. Burrows, was presented in Ogden hall—the school's new and large auditorium—by the Hampton Institute choir, seniors, and orchestra. Over 2,000 people were in attendance. They greeted with enthusiasm the singing and acting of the large cast. The humorous operetta, which is in reality an American opera on a Japanese theme, was staged with excellent lighting and scenic effects. The richly decorated, flowing kimono costumes of the seventy-odd well trained players added to the effectiveness of the opera's presentation. ROLAND HAYES SINGS. The second evening program of the music festival included Gennod's "Galla," which was sung by the Hampton Choral Union, a local musical organization, with Revella E. Hughes of Orangeburg, S. C., as soprano soloist; a recital by Roland W. Hayes of Boston, tenor; and Cowen's "Rose Maiden," which was sung by the Hampton Institute Day School Chorus, with Revella E. Hughes, Roland W. Hayes, Bessie L. Drew (contralto), and Paige I. Lancaster (baritone), as assisting artists. The accompanist was Helen Elise Dett. Roland Hayes' program included "Thank God for a Garden" (Del Riego); "Call Me No More" (Cadman); "Twilight" (Glenn); and a suite from Burleigh—"I Stood on the River of Jordan," "By and By," and "O Didn't It Rain." The singing of this well-known colored tenor soloist, whose work is fortunately becoming better known in the South, brought prolonged applause from the Ogden Hall capacity audience which included many commencement visitors and many music lovers living on the Lower Peninsula of Virginia. BAND CONCERT Under the direction of William M. O. Tessman, Hampton's bandmaster, the annual band concert, including string-quartet numbers, was given as a "curtain raiser" to commencement week. The program included "Tales of Hoffman" (Offenbach); Schubert's Op. 125, No. 1; Tschalkowsky's "Andante Cantabile" from Op. 11; Herbert's "Canzonetta" from Op. 12; Meditation from "Thais" (Massenet); and some march and overture music. The Colorado African Colonization Company sent a request to the Peace Conference asking that African people be left to develop in their own way. The request states that blacks and whites now are friends, but "if you continue to torture and afflict us in the future as has often been the case in the past, what will be our relations tomorrow?" The plea is signed by J. N. Walker, president, and S. H. Hobson, secretary. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN ADOPT INTERESTING PROGRAM FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE RACE AT A RECENT CONFERENCE HELD IN NEW YORK CITY. (Special to The Colorado Statesman.) THE National Association of Colored Women at a recent conference held in the Abyssinian Baptist Church, New York City, in response to a call issued by the association's president, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert of Buffalo, New York, adopted a program to be worked out through a bureau of publicity. This program was submitted by Mrs. Talbert as a report of the committee on findings consisting of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. A. W. Dickerson, Philadelphia; Miss Mary E. Jackson, New York; Minnie Scott; Mrs. Lizzie B. Fouse, Louisville; Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Grace Booth Valentine, Bordentown, N. J.; Miss Eva D. Bowles, New York. The report, which follows, is issued in the spirit of making democracy real: Second—That we help the women to realize that efficiency will change the attitude of employers and associate workers toward them and will eventually result in lifting of the industrial boycott. Third—That education of the general public be promoted through publicity. Community Service. Since adequate social programs are being promoted by various agencies, we urge club women to make their contributions for social betterment through such agencies as are already established. And, because of the demand for trained leadership, that the association search diligently for twelve young women of consecration, promise and education to qualify for some specific line of social service. Lynching. The National Association of Colored Women will co-operate with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People thru the department for the suppression of lynching and mob violence, Miss Minne H. Burroughs, chairman, in its campaign to abolish lynching. We recommend that individual clubs contribute to the local branches of the N. A. A. C. P. funds for the carrying on of this work and that duplicate of the receipt given by the local branch for said contributions be forwarded to Miss Burroughs. Where there are no local branches, money should be sent to Miss Burroughs, who will forward same to the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters. Suffrage. The National Association of Colored Women favors universal suffrage. We recommend that the Association launch a national campaign of education and that clubs co-operate heartily with every agency working for the adoption of the Susan B. Anthony amendment. Literature and speakers will be supplied by our bureau of publicity. Industrial. We must set ourselves to work seriously at the task of helping to make women wage earners one hundred per cent efficient. To this end, we recommend that a study be made of problems affecting domestic workers; that we help to promote efficiency through agencies making for higher standards of service; that we seek co-operation of employers in providing safe and comfortable living conditions. The United States Department of Labor is planning to make a survey of colored women in industries. The survey is so important that we recommend that club presidents join us in urging the department to increase the force of field workers. Since the doors of industry have been opened to colored women, we must strive to keep them open. To this end we urge: First—Our women to take such preliminary training as will qualify them for work in stores, shops and factories. Second—That we help the women to realize that efficiency will change the attitude of employers and associate workers toward them and will eventually result in lifting of the industrial boycott. Third—That education of the general public be promoted through publicity. Community Service. Since adequate social programs are being promoted by various agencies, we urge club women to make their contributions for social betterment through such agencies as are already established. And, because of the demand for trained leadership, that the association search diligently for twelve young women of consecration, promise and education to qualify for some specific line of social service. Rural Communities. That we make a study of conditions of the colored women in rural communities and devise practical means to improve them. That at present we enlist the interest of the rural teachers and through them distribute literature and hold conferences of rural women. Jim Crow Cars. Since the Jim Crow Car law is class legislation, that we have introduced into Congress a bill abolishing the Jim Crow Car and appoint a special committee to follow up this proposed legislation and to see that every member of Congress is petitioned to cast his vote in favor of its passage. In the interim that we petition the United States Railroad Administration or the Interstate Commerce Commission for the abolitions of Jim Crow Cars. - Race Relationship. Because the full strength of the womanhood of America is needed and must be conserved and utilized in this reconstruction period, it is the duty of the women of both races to accept the challenge and face squarely the opportunity and together work out their moral, economic and social destiny. We recommend that a conference of our affiliated group and other women representing national interests be arranged at an early date to the end that we shall see together our responsibility and decide upon plans of co-operation. Publicity. In order to get the message and the material to the people, we recommend that a bureau of publicity be formed to include the following departments and agencies: First — Notes (Our National Organ). Second—A Speakers' Bureau. Third—Motion Pictures. Fouth—Pamphlets. Fifth—Newspapers and Magazines. Sixth—Pageantry and Drama. That a director be appointed to supervise the work of this bureau. That the membership of the publicity bureau be made up of leaders representing the various activities among women. These persons will NO.33. furnish to the director general of the publicity bureau information and data that will aid in the effective prosecution of the work. Finance. That to finance the carrying out of the reconstruction program of the National Association of Colored women, a fund of $100,000 be raised and that this amount be apportioned among the states. That a campaign committee consisting of fifty women be appointed to conduct the drive. ECHOES FROM THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE, SUNDAY SCHOOL AND ALLEN C. E. L. CONVENTIONS, ROCKY MOUNTAIN DISTRICT, COLORADO, CONFERENCE. (Eliza G. Wilson.) The District Conference, Sunday School and A. C. E. L. Conventions of the Rocky Mountain District convened Tuesday evening, May 27th in St John A. M. E. Church, Pueblo, Rev. R. H. Harbert, pastor. The opening session Tuesday evening was devoted to registration, a sermon by Rev. J. M. Endicott of Cheyenne, Wyo., and welcome addresses by the mayor of Pueblo, Ministerial Association, and St. John Church and its auxiliaries, with response by Rev. A. Wayman Ward of Colorado Springs. Wednesday morning the District Conference opened with praise service conducted by Rev. T. B. J. Barclay, following which was the presiding elder's annual message. This message breathed of strong faith, fervent hope, and brotherly love. At its conclusion, the Holy Communion was administered. In the organization, Rev. A. Wayman Ward was elected secretary of the District Conference: Wendell R. Allen, secretary of the Sunday School Convention, and Eliza G. Wilson, secretary of the A. C. E. L. The financial reports of the churches, Sunday schools and leagues showed the district to be in a healthy condition, spiritually as well as financially, since nearly every point reported an additional soul saving, and splendid spiritual awakening. Mrs. L. M. Gudgell, district superintendent of Sunday Schools, presided over the deliberations of that body with easy grace and charm of manner, and her annual address was a uniquely woven appeal to the Sunday Schools in the district, and to the delegates particularly, to be brave, pure and true. Mr. Royal C. Brown, district president, A. C. E. L., made a presiding officer of whom all were proud, and his message, as delivered to the convention was an all-souled desire that each of us would "get into the road with the crowd," and serve humanity with Christ-like humility. The many papers read, and addresses given by the delegates were all excellent productions, and each appearance on the program was enthusiastically received. Excellent music, both vocal and instrumental was rendered throughout the deliberations, and many numbers were roundly enced. Special mention should be made of Mrs. Fanny Brown of this city, district superintendent of the elementary work. The period devoted to this particular branch of Sunday School work by Mrs. Brown, was full of helpful suggestions and splendid demonstrations. At the conclusion of the session Thursday afternoon, Mrs. L. M. Gudgell, district superintendent Sunday Schools, Mrs. Fanny Brown, district superintendent elementary department, and Mr. Royal C. Brown, district president A. C. E. L. were relected to their respective offices. The entertainment afforded by Rev. Harbert and his good people was all that could be desired, and every one was loud in praise of the royal way in which we were cared for. Rev. Pope proved an ideal presiding elder, in that he was fair in his dealings, affable in manner, and impartial in his rulings. All were highly pleased at the judicial way in which the three bodies were handled, and Friday morning, May 30th, the meeting adjourned, with the general opinion that a profitable session was brought to a close. FOREIGN A Budapest dispatch reports that Admiral von Horthy, former commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian fleet, had been assassinated by red guards. The monster dirigible R34 has been formally accepted by the admiralty of England. According to present plans the airship will start across the Atlantic within two weeks. King George celebrated his fifty- fourth birthday June 3rd. Artillery salutes were fired at noon in London, Windsor and in garrison and dockyard towns at home and abroad. Prominent business men of Tokio have met to discuss the project of laying a new cable line between Japan and the United States. Committees have been appointed to study the question. The body of Rosa Luxemburg, the radical Socialist, who was killed by a mob in Berlin early in the present year at the same time Dr. Karl Liebknecht was assassinated, has been found in the Landwehr canal. Three nurses attached to the American expeditionary force were killed in an automobile accident at Chateau Thierry, it has become known in Paris. The nurses were Florence Graham of New York city, Ella Delton of Toronto and Alice Hagadorn of Palmer, N. Y. Miss Grace D. Banker of Passalc, N. J., received the distinguished service medal from Lieut. Gen. Hunter Liggett, commander of the first army at army headquarters in Coblenz. She is chief operator of the army telephone service and has been overseas one year. In the House of Commons in London a resolution has been adopted authorizing the treasury to raise a loan to a limit of £250,000,000 to cover the estimated deficit for the year, and any sum required for the repayment of maturing securities and the creation of a sinking fund. Lieut. Milton Roberts of Lebanon, Ky., is the first American to be decorated for gallantry during the fighting on the Murmansk front. He has been awarded the French war cross for leading an attack on the Bolshevist trenches at Urosozero on April 11th, with the co-operation of a French armored train. Charles Albert (Chief) Bender, former star pitcher, of the Philadelphia American League Club, has been signed as manager of the Richmond, Va., league team. Bender will play right field and pitch. M. Botcazen, the one-armed golf professional at La Boulie links, Versallies, France, is coming to America to play in a number of exhibition matches. On the French links M.

In response to urgent appeals from overseas, seventeen carloads of Red Cross relief material, finished and raw, having a value of $855,012.78, left the mountain division within the last three months. The bulk of this tremendous order is destined for the refugees of France and American troops serving in Russia. According to word received by the local police department of Kansas City, a bank near Pittsburg, Kan., was robbed of Liberty Bonds to the amount of $43,000. Because he kept 15 cents out of his wages and his wife became angry George Vantigan had her arrested on a peace warrant. She was placed under $100 bonds at Bogota, N. J. The Pershing highway, a proposed transcontinental route from New York to San Francisco, was organized recently at a meeting in Lincoln, Neb., attended by representatives of several states included in the projected itinerary. Despite a vigorous protest from the good-road men of Missouri, Governor Gardner signed the dirt-road bill which provides for a system of 6,000 miles of graded highways. Each county in the state is allowed $1,200 a mile provided that the total graded is not less than fifty miles. There is some doubt as to whether federal aid will be possible under this statute, as the law limits federal appropriations to roads of a substantial character. Miss Elsie Janis, actress, attached to the American expeditionary forces by order of General Pershing, has returned from France, after fifteen months with the troops. She gave 610 performances during her work of making the doughboys' life more entourable.

CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DISPATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS. STORY OF THE WEEK SHOWING THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS IN OUR OWN AND FOREIGN LANDS. Western Newspaper Union, News Service. WESTERN Five children of former President James A. Garfield will share alike in the distribution of the $17,000 estate left by their mother, Lucretia R. Garfield, who died several months ago at Los Angeles. While bank clearings for citrus sales are breaking records in Ontario, Calif., a new high mark for orange grove values was set by the sale recently of a ten-acre grove for $28,000. Clearings on citrus sales alone are averaging $100,000 daily. D. Thompson, R. E. Kennedy and C. V. Pickup of Los Angeles narrowly escaped death when two airplanes in which they were riding crashed together a thousand feet in the air above Santa Monica canon near Santa Monica, Calif., and plunged to earth. The 2,000,000 acres of Texas land sown in wheat last autumn are expected to produce a crop of 40,000,000 bushels, five times larger than any previous Texas wheat crop. The Texas growers, guaranteed a price of $2.28 a bushel, figure a total return of $91,000,000 in round figures, with a $10,000,000 reduction as the approximate cost of production. Although he was handcuffed to a telegraph pole along with David Damore, a Sacramento jeweler, by three men who, they said, held up their automobile near Marinez, Calif., Morris Halpin, driver of the car, was arrested as an accomplice to the robbery upon Damore's request. Damore told the sheriff's office that he was robbed of diamonds and cash aggregating $4,000. A good roads program to cost $40,000,000 is outlined in bonds for this sum to be submitted to the people of California in the next state election. Chambers of commerce, automobile clubs and commercial and civic organizations generally are advocating the issue, which leads to the belief that the bonds will carry and place California in the lead of all states in the Union in improving its highway system. Mrs. Ethel McGowan, indicted at Sacramento, Calif., under the name of Ethel Loar, charged with sending a threatening letter to Governor Stephens, appeared in court and furnished $2,500 bail for her release, pending arraignment in the Superior Court. The bail was reduced from $5,000 because Mrs. McGowan voluntarily surrendered when she learned in Cheyenne, Wyo., that an indictment had been returned against her. WASHINGTON More than 15,000 pounds of wool, valued at more than $7,000,000, was clipped in Utah during the sheep-shearing season just ended, according to a statement made by C. B. Stewart, secretary of the Utah Wool Growers' Association. Reports of disturbed conditions in the Yaqui valley in Sonora have caused the State Department through the American embassy in the City of Mexico to request the Mexican authorities to station enough troops in that section to safe-guard American lives and property. Only by increased rates can the government controlled railroads meet operating expenses, Director General Hines of the railroad administration, told the House Appropriations Committee. He is opposed to any increase at this time, however, because it might advance the cost of necessities of life. Secretary Baker told the House Military Committee he had authorized the sale of $25,000,000 worth of surplus food stocks held by the army to the Co-operative Purchase Society of Russia. The society is composed of 20,000,000 heads of families, the secretary said, and will give in exchange for the food raw materials badly needed in the United States. Opinions of the Federal District Court holding the Butte and Superior Mining Company guilty of infringing upon a patented process owned by the Minerals Separation, Ltd., and awarding the latter approximately $10,000,000 damages were upheld in part by the Supreme Court in disposing of appeals from the Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed with modifications that judgment. Every mint in the United States has been put to work by Director Ray Baker turning out 1-cent pieces in an effort to keep pace with the enormous demand for this coin. By instituting a twenty-four-hour day the output has been pushed to 90,000,000 cents a month. Federal Court decrees dismissing injunction proceedings brought by the Lincoln, Neb., Gas and Electric Light Company to restrain enforcement of an ordinance reducing gas rates from $1.20 to $1.00 a thousand feet were upheld by the Supreme Court. SPORT Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Western Newspaper Union News Service. Greater and greater reports of gold values come from the Barstow mine leases at Ourray and there seems to be a vast quantity of high-grade ore in sight that will keep the mine active for a long time.

Murphy is given office as engineer of the State Land Board; Judge Ben B. Lindsey must pay a $500 fine for contempt of court, and A. F. Enyart, Ordway, Colo., bank president, gets a new trial on the charge of murder. Inheritance tax receipts in Colorado for fifteen days totaled $37,273.11, according to figures given out by Attorney General Victor E. Keyes. This brings the total inheritance receipts for the biennial period, which began December 1, 1918, to $398,741.19. The crops in the Montrose section and most of the great Uncompahgre valley are two to three weeks ahead of the five-year average. The alfalfa crop is over 100 per cent average and is ready for the first cutting now. Some potato patches are showing remarkable development and the farmers are declaring it is one of the most advanced springs in the history of Montrose county. With but one dissenting vote, the taxpayers of Keota voted $18,000 worth of bonds for the installation of a complete waterworks system for domestic and fire purposes. The bonds were already sold at 99.55 and some of the material was on the ground ready to commence work as soon as the bonds were voted.

The thermometer went as low as 22 degrees and a half inch of ice was reported from Ridgeway. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS --- Plans for the Fourth of July celebration in Steamboat are rapidly taking shape and the affair is growing in importance. The sports committee has been especially active, and already many of the best riders of northwestern Colorado are lined up for attendance. It is planned to make the roughriding feature of greater interest than ever before. Some of the recent contests have been rather tame, but George Long, on a trip to the lower country interested some of the best riders in the contest. They are anxious to try conclusions with the crackriders of the Art-O-Graf Film Company, who will be there. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Fifty students, all of them newly arrived soldiers from France, have been enrolled by the Denver branch of the federal board for vocational training to attend the classes at the Opportunity school. These are the advance guard of about 250 students who will be enrolled at the Opportunity by the federal board this summer. Many subjects will be taught to these men among them automobile repairing ir all its phases, sheet metal work, English show card writing, commercial branches, salesmanship, drafting, algebra and other branches of mathematics. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The final statistics on May travel to Colorado will equal that of Junes in the past, said Frank A. Wadleigh, passenger traffic manager of the Denver & Rio Grande. "The May travel has kept pace with the June travel and I shall not be surprised if the final returns show that May was ahead of the usual June," said Mr. Wadleigh. "As a rule, May travel is light to Colorado the summer tourist rates becoming effective June 1, and June being the month when people start for their summer vacations." Colorado crop planting, which is completed, indicates the acreage under cultivation this year will be the largest in the history of the state, according to reports compiled for the Co-operative Crop Reporting service by county assessors. In addition to the large increases for wheat and sugar beets previously reported, there is said to be a large increase in the acreage devoted to corn. Completed reports indicate that the acreage of pinthe beans this year will not exceed that planted in 1918 by more than 25 per cent. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. After lying unconscious for four days with several ribs fractured, his lungs pierced by broken bones, his chest crushed to a pulp, and his body badly bruised and battered, N. J. Mc Kenan, a farmer of Keota, died as the result of an accident. He was assisting in loading a large steel tank into a wagon, using a pair of wooden skids for the work, whenone of the skids broke and let the tank, which weighed more than a ton, fall, catching him underneath it. Efforts of Charlie Gardner of San Diego, blind newsie, to save the life of John D. Kennedy, rancher, from Gunnison, Colo., has been repaid by a $15,000 legacy. Hearing that Kennedy, a casual acquaintance, was dying, Gardner went to his physician and insisted that he be allowed to submit to a blood transfusion. Gardner lost a quart of blood in the operation, but Kennedy died. He left his entire estate, valued at $15,000, to Gardner. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Marjorie Henry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Henry, who live near Campion, narrowly escaped drowning when she fell into an irrigating ditch near the house and floated down the stream for a distance that would cover about two blocks before she was discovered and rescued by her grandfather, C. W. Henry. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Farmers in the Gilcrest section are being caused considerable loss by the ravages of potato bugs, which are eating off the new plants. Gilcrest has a large acreage of early potatoes, and entire fields have been eaten off by these bugs which infest the fields in swarms of thousands and eat every bit of green foliage. The gold ore production in the Cripple Creek district in May amounted to 55,376 tons, carrying a gross bullion value of $691,861.45, which is an increase over April of $20,000. The general average of all ore produced was $10.58. Nine hundred and ninety tons were shipped to the smelters, which returned $80 per ton. The dividends paid during the month by the Cresson and the Golden Cycle Companies amounted to $167,000. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Some weeks ago the property owners of two of Brighton's business streets signed petitions for paving thirty-six feet wide. Later they decided that they were making the paving too narrow and the matter was held up while new petitions were circulated. Now the matter has been completed and the streets will be paved their full width. Grand county commissioners have recommended the Rabbit Ear road, from Kremmling to Martin, for improvement by the state highway commission, and a federal road appropriation of $35,000 will be used on this road this year. This is a link in the shortest automobile route between Denver, Kremmling and Steamboat Springs. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Jose Silva, a Mexican, was found guilty of first degree murder in the District Court at Greeley after a trial for the slaying of M. Oronoco at Gilcrest last January. Oronoco was found in a beet shack with bullet holes in his head, his throat slashed and $500 in currency which he was known to be carrying, missing. Evidence pointed to Silva as the slayer and he was traced to Pueblo, where he was arrested. He confessed the killing and robbery to Sheriff Frank Hall, but after repudiated the confession. The jury recommended life imprisonment.

This statement is borne out by recent letter advices from our Mr. Guthrey telling of a busy week in Tampico, financially, by reason of the visit of two groups of men: one composed of officers and technical men of a California company and on the day to New York via Havana; the other composed of twelve bankers and oil land investors with the representatives of a New York company which is already heavily interested in Tampico and will probably put in pipe lines in connection with another company's investments. The American invasion is becoming so pronounced it is barely possible to secure offices, rooms or living quarters. A fully established Publicity Bureau of Boston advises of quickened interest in oils in the East; of sharp activity on the Curb Market in Texas oils; of inquiries on Capitol and what it means to fully realize being interested in the World's Richest Oil Fields. Western Oil Derrick says: EYES OF OIL WORLD NOW TURNED ON AMARILLO Heart of vast cattle empire now leased to the extent of many acres. Big companies prepare to sink steel drills.

Capitol Petroleum has 6,000 acres in the heart of the Panhandle and Standard California type rig bought and being erected on choice location. This recent acquisition in itself will make our stock worth $1.00 or more per share, and added to this what our company has in Kansas, Oklahoma and Mexico certainly makes this stock a most attractive investment at the present price of 25 cents. We urge our friends to buy now, as the price will soon be advanced to 50 cents or $1.00 per share.

HOUSEHOLD CONVENIENCES. The skillful worker in any business always keeps up-to-date tools, for he knows he will thus increase his efficiency. The efficient housewife also knows that time, strength and temper are lost by using old, worn-out and cumbersome utensils. Why use dull paring and carving knives when a small sharpener can be crease his efficiency. The efficient housewife also knows that time, strength and temper are lost by using old, worn-out and cumbersome utensils. Why use dull paring and carving knives when a small sharpener can be bought which will keep all cutting tools in good order? If there is any one thing which will cause one to use strong language it is a dull carving knife. A tray to remove food and dishes from the dining table or to carry it to the table is a great saving of steps. If one cannot afford to buy a wheeled tray or tea wagon get the handy man to make you one, using the small wheels from an old gocart. A wire dish drainer is light and can be used as a tray if no other is at hand, for it is easy to carry. Paper or wooden trays or plates make fine dishes to use in the ice box, for they do not break and may be renewed often at little expense. Paper of all kinds saves dish washing. Wipe out the greasy dishes with a piece of soft paper before putting them into the dish water. Keep the table wiped up with paper, saving the dishcloth for stains and grease. A kitchen table covered with zinc or some hard surface that does not need scouring to keep clean is a most necessary kitchen convenience. Some good scales, a good clock, a kitchen cabinet with everything at hand to use in cookery, are all necessary equipment. Keep a bottle of kerosene near the sink, and when it is dry wipe out with a cloth dampened with kerosene; it will keep clean without scouring. Repeated scourings with various cleaning powders will ruin the surface, so that it becomes rough and stains easily. Have a stool that will slip under the table when not needed and use it to sit on while preparing vegetables or doing many kinds of work. It will be found a great saving on tired feet. One can learn to wash and wipe dishes and iron sitting on a stool. Have a rung on which to rest the feet to change one's position. A small, simple old rocking chair in the kitchen will save many a breakdown. Drop into it while doing valuable things and relax when possible. Keep a card index of recipes in the kitchen in a convenient place to use in planning the meals. Nellie Maxwell . The new May Co.

Hampton being our Alma Mater we cannot help from being proud of its achievements, and as we follow closely the success attending such noble efforts from time to time, we are only too glad to herald through the col- umns of our paper the purposes that this great intellectual institution stands for as well as the permanent good it fills throughout the United States of America. A long career of usefulness is our wish for Hampton. DENVER MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT STARTS FAVORABLY. MiAx02 ewer, & Bailey, his cabinet and the city councillors have started the new administration under very favorable conditions, as on every hand the general expression amounts to a determination to support these representatives that the people so wisely selected to manage the af- fairs of the city for the next four years. ‘As we stated some time ago, those of us who are acquainted with our mayor's ability to do things for the benefit of all the people have no fear of his becoming a victim of coercion, compromise or any other influence that will interfere with his leadership, and. the men he has selected for his immediate advisory board can, if they resolve to serve the best interests of the people first, materially subscribe their efforts in making this admin- istration greater than at any other time in this history-making city. ‘The large number of people who gathered to witness the inaugural ceremonies last Monday, and the throng that passed through the mayor's office congratulating him and pledging to support him, must of necessity cause one to enter on his duties with a vim and vigor that will offer an incentive to those around and about him to put their shoulders to the wheel to meet the many and varied tasks that will be set before them to be faith- fully and successfully performed. Being well acquainted with nearly all the members of our civic body for several years and conscious of the fact of their resolution for a GREATER DENVER, the Colorado Statesman again expresses its confidence in the present municipal administration, and places its columns at their disposal for the transmission of information to the pub- lic relative to the development and improvement of the city and county of Denver, A very successful term of office and a career of much usefulness is the best wish we can offer at this time for our mayor and council. SENATOR REED OF MISSOURI FEARS WORLD POWER OF COLORED RACES. N his speech in the Senate recently, Senator Reed, Democrat, of Mis- souri, could not restrain himself from expressing his fear of the col- I ored races in their acquisition of world-power, when he vigorously at- tacked the “League of Nations” in its present form, maintaining that nations governed by races other than white would have the predomi- nating voice in this international combine. The senator presented sta- tistics showing that the darker races represented by their countries com- posing the league would number 811,425,500 against 289,488,800 white, which would give a voting power of fifteen to the whites and seventeen to the colored. ‘The senator endeavors to show also that the greater percent- age of illiteracy is among the races, that he terms a conglomeration of an unclassifiable mongrel breed, Continuing his denouncement of the League of Nations in his imagination of white domination losing its hold at some future time, Senator Reed engaged in insults towards the people of smaller nations—Haiti, Liberia, ete., calling them “joke nations,” “the victims of superstition and steeped in barbarism,” concluding his address with the burlesque that the league would make the colored nations “the new goy- ernors of the world.” We have heard of dreams, the idea of visions, and the hallucinations that suddenly seize people at times, but when a man whose creed, whose very existence, whose very act in public and private life amount to rank RACE AND COLOR PREJUDICE, we can clearly see into the mockery of such characters being sent to the seat of government to represent the peo- ple of this great Republic, We would like very much to give this race discriminator and opposer an idea of what we think of him, but one of our dailies, The Rocky Moun- tain News, in an editorial Tuesday of this week, entitled “‘Truculent Balder- dash,” shows the true position of Senator Reed and offers him his just dessert that we would rather quote for the benefit of our readers, as this comes from his white race, which denounces him for his terrible un-Ameri- can spirit and his Southern practices. ‘The following is the editorial in part: “Senator Reed’s color-line attack on the League of Nations is truculent balderdash. We are disinclined to dignify the Missourian’s outburst by an’ attempt to answer it. No man who has read the covenant needs to be told, that the senator's attack is not in the remotest sense a criticism of the league, but is wholly and consciously an appeal to prejudice. Senator Reed finds himself in a minority among his Democratic colleagues, He is lonely in his opposition. He casts about for an argument that will appeal to them. He can find none based upon reason, Hence he turns to prejudice. What is the strongest prejudice in that part of the country from which most of his colleagues come? The race and color prejudice. ‘Aha!’ says Reed; ‘I haye it. 1 will introduce the color ery. I will make the South believe that the League of Nations is going to be ruled by the black and yellow races of the world. That is the way to arouse Geergia and Alabama, the Caro- linas, Plorida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia and my own state—where I was repudiated.’ | “So the senator from Missouri insults what we have been pleased to call the ‘greatest deliberative assembly in the world’ with a speech that will win for him the contempt even of his co-antagonists of the league. The South will not be mislead by the Missouri senator's demagogy. The rest of the country will heap upon it the ridicule it deserves.” | A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES the Boy scouts of America have rendered notable service to the nation during the world war, They haye done effective work in the Liberty Loan and War Savings campaigns, In dis- covering and reporting upon the black walnut supply, in co-operating with the Red Cross and other war work agen- cles, in acting as dispatch bearers for the Committee on Public Information, and in other important fields. ‘The Boy Scouts have not only demon- strated their worth to the nation, but haye also materially contributed to a deeper appreciation by the American people of the higher conception of pa- triotism and good citizenship. ‘The Boy Scout movement should not only be preserved, but strengthened. It deserves the support of all public- spirited citizens. ‘The available means for the Boy Scout movement haye thus far sufficed for the organization and training of only a small proportion of the boys of the country, There are approximately 10,000,000 boys in the United States between the ages of twelve and twenty-one, Of these only 375,000 are enrolled as members of the Boy Scouts of America, America cannot acquit herself com- mensurately with her power and in- fluence in the great period now facing her and the world unless the boys of America are given better opportunities than heretofore to prepare themselves for the responsibilities of citizenship. Every nation depends for its future upon the proper training and develop- ment of its youth, The American boy must have the best training and discl- pline our great democracy can pro- vide if America is to maintain her ideals, her standards and her influence in the world. The plan, therefore, for a Boy Seout week during which a universal appeal will be made to all Americans to sup- ply the means to put the Boy Scouts of America in a position to earry for- ward effectively and continuously the splendid work they are doing for the youth of America, should have the un- reserved support of the nation. Therefore, 1, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America, do hereby recommend that the period beginning Sunday, June Sth, to Flag Day, June 14th, be ob- served as Boy Scout Week through the United States for the purpose of strengthening the work of the Boy Scouts of America. I earnestly recommend that, in ey- ery community, a Citizens’ Committee under the leadership of a National Citizens’ Committee, be organized to co-operate in carrying out a program for a definite recognition of the effec- tive services rendered by the Boy Scouts of America; for a survey of the facts relating to the boyhood of each community, in order that with the ¢o- operation of churches, schools and other organizations definitely engaged in work for boys, adequate provision may be made for extending the Boy Scout program to a larger proportion of American boyhood. ‘The Boy Scout movement offers un- usual opportunity for volunteer serv- ice, It needs men to act as commit- teemen and as leaders of groups of boys. T hope that all who can will en- list for such personal service, en roll |S associate members and give all possible financial assistance to this hood. Anything that is done to in- ‘crease the effectiveness of the Boy eon of America will be a genuine contribution to the welfare of the na- tion, | In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

DR. ROBT. R.

Moton, principal of ‘Tuskegee Institute, de- livered the annual address in connee- tion with the closing exercises of the Birmingham High school, of which Mr. be H. Parker is principal, Dr, Moton a among other things: “The biggest thing that Booker . “Washington did, in my judgment, was ‘not the establishment ‘of the great ‘Tuskegee Institute, wonderful as it is, but the greatest thing he did was in teaching white and colored people that ‘the two races could live peacefully and harmoniously here in the South, The greatest work that the colored high school is doing is not the fine records in scholarship the children are making, nor the added appropriations of buildings and equipment for the colored high school, but more import- ‘ant than buildings’ and grounds and records and equipment is the spirit of service, of the appreciation of the dig- ‘nity of labor, the spirit of being a blessing to the community, the spirit of co-operation, the spirit of racial good-will and helpfulness. ‘That, my friends, is the highest duty in these times that any man or school ean per- form.” “The great devastation in Europe of buildings, of art treasure, and the great destruction of human life grew jour of misunderstanding and lack of racial and international good-will, My ‘race loves America, and Southern Ne- groes love the South, and they love the Southern people, “There is an un- derstanding and sympathy between them as individuals such as is diffi- cult for many people to understand, and a large majority of them are xo- ing to remain in the South for all time and the race problem Is going to be worked out down here in the South, and E believe there is patience enough, democracy enough, Christianity enough to make it possible for these two peo- ples to live in peace and in harmony and mutual helpfulness one towards another.” ‘At the conclusion of the exercises, Dr. Moton was the guest of honor at a reception given by the Birmingham- Tuskegee Club, of which Mr, Robert Tiomtahive lathe orosiient: PACIFIC GROVE, CALIFORNIA, NEWS. ‘The First Baptist Church was well supplied Sunday with three preachers in the stand. ey, W.

Cannon of Jersey City, N. J., made a protest in the Standing Committee for freedmen against the Policy of the Presbyterian Church in classifying its -Negro members as “freedmen” on the grounds that the Negro was no longer a “freedman,” and that the term was distasteful to the pride of the Negro, especially since by his heroic deeds in'the World War, he become a freer of men, ‘The recommendation by this commit- tee that the consideration of eliminat- ing the term “freedmen” be given seri- ous consideration, was adopted by the General Assembly.

STEVENS PASSES AWAY With very much pain and regret we announce the death of Mrs. Ernestine Josenberger Stevens, young matron who came to Denver from Fort Smith, Ark., last fall with her mother and remained up to the time of her death, which occurred last week Friday, May 30th, at St. Joseph's hospital, seven daps after she was operated on. She was very accomplished and had made a number of friends from her kind disposition and affable mannerism. Although only of a few months' residence, she was made to feel at home in Denver, being the recipient of Denver's social hospitality on numerous occasions, where she won admiration for her charming and unassuming ways. She leaves a mother and a large circle of friends and acquaintances to mourn her almost sudden death, and Denver joins with Fort Smith in offering a word of sympathy and consolation to the grief-laden mother, who departed last Monday with the body of the deceased for Fort Smith, Ark. The Douglass Undertaking Company was in charge of the remains for shipment. CHAMPA STREET PHARMACY.

The organization meeting of the council met last Monday evening when Councilman Louis F. Bartels was re-elicited president. Mayor Bailey, after receiving information that the council was ready for business, addressed the meeting.

On behalf of the majority of colored citizens whom we are proud to represent as staunch supporters of good government and Mayor Bailey's policies, we wish a very successful career to our municipal leader and his associates. DENVER PIONEER AND PHILAN- THROPIST OBEYS THE LAST CALL. Mrs. Sarah Thomas, aged 75 years, a pioneer of this city, and who for more than forty years identified herself with the West, obeyed the "last call" summoning her from all that was mortal to the great life beyond, on Tuesday, June 3rd, at her late residence, 2453 Arapahoe street.

Walker's one desire was to perpetuate the goods and products of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, and to that end, early in 1911, incorporated her business under the name of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, with the main office in Indianapolis, Ind. As such the company has been doing business ever since. Two years ago, realizing that her health was rapidly failing, Mme. Walker gathered about her experienced and competent employés, reorganized her board of directors and turned her vast business over to the same. Under this new management, which is the present management, the company has measured up to the high standard that made the Mme. C. J. Walker hair preparations famous the world over. Because of her wise forethought, her unfortunate passing away at this time will in no wise affect the management of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. Mme. Walker's highly trained and amiable daughter, Mrs. Lelia W. Robinson, will succeed her as president of the company. There will be no other changes.

American Navy Needs 358,000 Sailors Effectively to Man Its Ships The authorized strength of the regular navy is 138,000 men. the navys estimate of its need is 358,000 men. It cannot be effective with a lesser number. But the last congress adjourned without giving us the authori- zation for this number. ‘Vhe navy must not be handicapped. If it is all the money spent for Liberty bonds and all the money that will be pledged to the Victory loan will go for naught. The United States must have a navy to back up its ideals.

By the oath which you then took you renounced and adjured all allegiance to Ger- many.and to the emperor of Germany, and swore that you would bear true faith and allegiance to the United States. What did that mean? That you would set about earnestly growing an American soul and put away your German soul. That is what your oath of allegiance meant. Have you done that? I do not think you have. You have cherished everything German and stifled everything American. You have preached German, prayed German, read German, sung German. Every thought of your mind and evexy emotion of your heart through all these years has been German. Your body has been in America, but your life has been in Germany. If you were set down in Prussia today you would be in harmony with your environment. ‘There have been a good many Germans before me in the last month. They have lived in this country, like yourself, ten, twenty, thirty, forty years, and they had to give their evidence through an interpreter. ‘There was written all over every one of them, “Made in Germany.” I do not blame you and thesemen alone. I blame my country. We urged you to come; we welcomed you; we gave you opportunity ; we gave you land; we conferred upon you the diadem of American citizenship— and then we left you. ; Premier Lloyd George vs. Northcliffe, With a Forecast of the Future The chief significance of the prime minister’s declaration in the commons is that it marks him out as not only the natioh’s leader of new canses of peace and progress after Armageddon but probably the world’s leader as well. We must remember what an incomparable advantage Brit. ish political conditions give in the long run to any man who achieve: personal supremacy. : Long after Wilson has ceased to be president of the United States or Clemenceau to be French premier, Lloyd George in all likelihood wil not only play the same part as he does now but will be more and more recognized as the strongest statesman of his time. If the league of nations is to be a living and working reality, if the world is to be saved from war before the lapse of another decade, Lloyd George, in our view, will have to do more than any other statesman tc develop the league and to avert calamity in democratic affairs. Tt is about as certain as anything in the future can be that if North. cliffe continues the controversy on personal lines such controversy would mean the end of Northcliffe as a proprietor of syndicated newspapers Legislation would be introduced and carried putting an end to multiple proprietorship of the opinion-making powers of the press. “It Is Hard to Find Words to Paint German Portrait Black Enough” Such a fighting machine as the Germans turned out the world never before had seen. The tread of their armies seemed to make the world tremble. But lacking moral force, lacking a worthy cause, bent only on murder and arson and pillage, void of enthusiasm for human weal and human rights, they had no sustaining power, and went to pieces on the moral purpose of the enemy as the waves break upon the granite rocks. An empire in ruin is what we now behold. ‘The vulture devours its own vitals. It is hard to find words to paint the German portrait black enough. Let any fair-minded, cool-headed man sit down and try dispassionately to think of the deeds they have been guilty of in this war, and see if he does not grow hotter and hotter the longer he thinks. There are still 70,000,000 Germans all unrepentant. In a few gen- erations there will be 100,000,000 of them, and they will not have changed for the good one iota. Their porcine propensities and unscrupulous char- acter will remain unabated. They are of the earth earthy. They wallow m materialism; they have ceased to produce literature, art, music or philosophy; they have run all to materialism for the past two or three generations, and to expect any radical change in them is to expect the serpent tu walk upright or to forget to use its fangs. : She t : COMPANY 2 Bales Daily at 2 p.m. Offloe Fur niture a Specialty.

Wilkes-Barre, Pa., June 6,—Seventy- eight men were killed and forty others were Injured, some severely, when a car of bluck powder was exploded in the Bultimore No. 2 tunnel of the Del- aware & Hudson Company mine at Eust End, this city. ‘The accident happened shortly be- fore 7 o'clock, while the men were be- ing taken to their places of employ- ment. A train of empty cars was pro vided to convey them down by an electric motor. Into these cars the workmen were crowded und with the train was a car of black powder. When 200 feet in the tunnel the electric trolley wire fell, Spurks from it ignited the pow- der and the explosion that followed blew the men in all directions, | More men died from the effects of flames and suffocation than from the explosion itself. ‘The force of the explosion was ter- rife. It was felt in all parts of the city and was heard for miles around, When rescuers got into the tunnel, dead men were found everywhere. Some had been slightly burned and sought to get to safety but were sut- focated, Others were burned almost to a crisp, Here and there were oth- ers moaning and crying. Within an hour and a half after- wards, most of the injured had been removed. ‘The dead were taken to the surface and placed in tiers along the green, Calls went out for ambulances, doctors and nurses and because of the early hour it was difficult to get @ big force at once. ‘The hospitals be- gan to crowd, Morgues were filled, Identification of the dead is almost impossible. Many of the bodies taken to the morgues are so badly charred that the scores of relatives who wend- ed their way among the rows of bod- jes were unable to identify fathers, husbands, brothers and sons. Many of the injured died after be- ing taken from the. tunnel and the death list is being inereased hourly. As the injured were being taken from the tunnel to ambulances they were placed near the pile of bodies. Fire following the explosion lasted only a short time. But the men were caught in the full force of fire and explosion, Arms were blown from the bodies of men. Heads of men were blown off. Legs of others were found among the wreckage of human life and property. The fire was intense while it lasted. Sulphur fumes and the flames added to the misery and men dropped like flies along the tun- nel, ‘There were terrible scenes in the various morgues. Hundreds of women, men and children gathered about the tunnel. Shrieking and crying, they lifted*the blankets from the men, Wom- en fainted; men lost their nerve and children ran away in fright.

TOM BROWN, Proprietor 726 EIGHTEENTH STREET DENVER Basel.—Germany lost 198 submarinea during the war, according to statistics or. this branch of the German naval service published in the Berlin Vos- siche Zeitung. This number included seyen submarines interned in foreign ports and fourteen destroyed by thelr own crews. More than 3,000 sailors lost their lives in the submarine sink- ings, the statistics show, while several thousand others lost their reason and had to be committed to lunatic asy- lums, 1777 Our 1919 Emblem HEN I think of the Flag which those ships carry, the only touch of color about them, the only thing that moves as if it had a settled spirit in it, in their solid structure, it seems to me I see alternate strips of parchment upon which are written the rights of Liberty and Justice and strips of blood spilled to vindicate those rights; and then, in the corner, a prediction of the blue serene into which every nation may swim which stands for these great things. ```markdown ``` RED-WHITE-BLUE Colors That Preponderate in Flags of Nations of the World. THE principal colors in the flags that fly throughout the world this year of our Lord, 1919, today are red, white and blue in diverse combinations. Here and there green is shown, but red, white and blue are the colors of nineteen out of twenty-five national flags and are the colors of practically all the flags of the nations of Europe. The significance of national colors goes back to the days of heraldry and many of the devices displayed on flags are either heraldic designs or have been derived from such designs. Red stands for courage and military fortitude, blue symbolizes loyalty and truth and white stands for peace and sincerity. In the Italian, Irish, Brazilian and Mexican flags green is one of the colors, and in heraldry this color signified hope and joy. Black, which appears in the German flag in combination with red and white, stands for constancy. A historian has written that the farmers in the battle of Lexington carried the "cornet" or standard of the Three County Troop. That banner was devised for a troop of cavalry raised in the counties of Essex, Suffolk and Middlesex, Massachusetts, in 1659. The office of color bearer of this troop became an inheritance in the Page family of the Bay colony. The flag was carried in King Phillip's war in 1676. When the minute men were organized, Nathaniel Page, 3d, of Bedford, Mass., took the old flag out VINCE AUT MORIRE CONCORD FLAG for use at drill. When the midnight alarm was sent out Captain Page snatched up the old flag and carried it to Concord, where "it waved above the smoke of that battle." Flag Still Treasured. This flag is preserved in the public library at Bedford, Mass. It is of maroon or crimson damask silk and on it is an outstretched arm with an uplifted sword in the hand. The arm, hand WOODROW WILSON and sword are worked in silver. On the flag are three circular figures, which it is thought were put there to represent cannon balls. The words "Vince et Moriture" (Conquer or Die) are on a gold scroll. The flag is two feet long and a foot and a half wide. The design of the American flag may be said to be an evolution and combination of colors and designs long antedating the American revolution. The flags that were carried by mill- BUNKER HILL FLAG tary organizations in the colonies before the outbreak of the revolution were not British flags, but organization flags. They were of various colors and designs. The British ensign or Union Jack is said by some to have been the inspiration of the American flags. The Union Jack is a combination of the English red cross of St. George on a white field, the Scotch white cross of St. Andrew on a blue field and the Irish red cross of St. Patrick. The combination of the English and Scotch flags was agreed on in 1606, soon after the union of England and Scotland under James I. Explaining the "Jack." The word "Jack" as applied to the British flag is supposed to be a corruption of "Jack," which was the common abbreviation of "Jacobus," the Latin for James. The introduction onto the flag of the cross of St. Patrick came later. England's Union Jack traces its origin to those remote times when knights rode in the lists and the red cross of St. George on its white field goes back to the Crusades and the hundred years' war with France—a war that calls to mind such stirring names as Crecy, Agincourt and Poitiers. The American flag carried in the battle of Bunker Hill had on it the cross of St. George and a pine tree, the symbol of Massachusetts. It is written by historians of the American flag that when the first flag to represent the united colonies was devised, as many horizontal stripes of red and white were introduced as there were colonies, and as at that date the colonies were not independent, but merely in revolt because of the denial by the English government of "their rights as Englishmen," the ensign of England, the superimposed crosses of St. George, St. Andrew and St. Patrick, was retained by the Americans in the upper staff corner of the flag. --- LIBERTY DIVISION HAS PROUD RECORD SEVENTY-SEVENTH, 40 PER CENT OF WHICH WAS JEWISH, DID GREAT WORK IN FRANCE. IT MOPPED UP THE ARGONNE Jew Soldiers Showed as Much Initiative and Gallantry as Any Other Race—How One Chinaman Earned the Medal of Honor. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—In the adjutant general's office of the war department are the complete records of every soldier, volunteer and drafted man, who fought in the great war. Some day it is probable that a study will be made by historians of the racial groups found in the records. The army authorities of their own volition probably never will group soldiers, for purposes of publication, according to the races into which they fall. The army naturally and properly takes it for granted that every man in the service is an American in all that the word implies, and that it may be invidious and unnecessary to go further than this. It perhaps would be impossible for the authorities to complete accurately a list of the racial groups, because if a man is born in America that fact is put down, and nothing is said about the old world nation from which he sprang; but of course something can be told by the study of the name of a soldier. Students, however, who are interested in such matters probably will undertake to separate the soldiers into groups according to their national lineage. They go on the supposition that "The proper study of mankind is man," and that anything that relates to differences in capabilities and accomplishments of men of different races is so much gained. Jews Made Excellent Fighters. An army officer said the other day that one of the great satisfactions to be derived from the American records in the war is the rehabilitation of the Jew as a fighting man. It perhaps is not true that the Jew in any way had deteriorated as a fighting man, but simply that such an impression was abroad. If there was such an impression it has been lifted and thrown into the discard by the fighting in France. One record, a specific one, is at hand. The Seventy-seventh division of the American army, otherwise known sometimes as the Metropolitan division, and more frequently as the Liberty division, had 40 per cent of Jews in its ranks. They fought as well as and perhaps better than their remote ancestors fought against the Philistines. The Seventy-seventh division did tremendous work west of the Argonne forest, and later in the Argonne itself. This division in fact did a large part of the work of clearing the Argonne of the enemy and it stalled in the fight, with the exception of a short period of rest, from the beginning of the northward drive on September 26, 1918, until the thing ended in the suburbs of Sedan at noon on November 11, 1918. The word of the officers is that the Jewish soldiers of the Seventy-seventh, not all of whom had complete military training, went into the fighting as a matter of grim business which was to be cleaned up in the shortest order possible. There are many of these boys who today wear Distinguished Service medals and French Crosses for conspicuous personal gallantry in action. Gallant Work of Individuals. The Jewish soldiers showed for the main part just as much initiative as the men of any other race. Frequently individual soldiers were compelled by the force of circumstances to "go it" virtually alone, or at any rate in little groups of two or three, against machine gun nests. In the face of terrific fire these boys, using such shelter as they could get, closed within hand grenade throwing distance of the Hun machine gunners and bombed them to death or to flight. The Seventy-seventh division had representatives in its ranks of virtually all the peoples of earth. There were more Jews in it than of any other one specific race. The 60 per cent of the division which was non-Jewish was made up of Americans of long descent, of men born in Ireland, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Scandinavia and even China. A Chinese member of the Seventy-seventh division, wounded and gassed, stuck to his post of duty, with the dead and dying all about him, and, alone and exhausted almost unto death, continued to transmit the messages which were entrusted to him. He is now the color bearer of the outfit to which he is attached, and he wears the insignia of all the honors which the French and the American governments can give him. Soldiers Flock to Mount Vernon. Soldiers Puck to Mount Vernon. Thousands upon thousands of American soldiers within the past two years have visited Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington and the scene of his death. Thousands more will visit the place before final demobilization comes. Mount Vernon has taught its lesson of patriotism during this war to a multitude of young Americans who, if It had not been for the war, probably never would have been given an opportunity to visit the beautiful old mansion on the Potomac hillside. Scores of regiments of soldiers have been stationed near Washington from time to time since war broke out. They have gone to Mount Vernon from Camp Meade, from Camp Lee, from Fort Myer, and from all the other camps within a day's journey of the capital city. One of the first questions which the young soldiers, many of them fresh from schools of the country, ask when they reach Washington is "How can we get to Mount Vernon?" The old place where Washington lived and died is closed to the public on Sunday. This has aroused criticism, and to many people it seems to be a perfectly just criticism. Sunday is a day of comparative rest in the military camps and naturally therefore Sunday is the day on which most of the soldiers find it convenient to visit the home and the grave of the great George. It is hard to understand why the rule of peace times has been continued in war times and visitors still are shut out from Mount Vernon on the Lord's Day. At Its Best in the Spring. The pilgrimages to the Potomac mansion still are continuing. In this spring season Mount Vernon is at its best. The old hedges which were planted by the hand of George, himself, still are green and flourishing, and several great trees which as sapplings he planted still cast their shade over the historic mansion. The soldiers outnumber civilian visitors to the place today certainly ten to one, and it is an agreeable thing to say that virtually every soldier of a foreign army who has been in Washington with the various missions here present has made it a matter of conscience, of heart, and of interest to go to Mount Vernon as a mark of respect to the man under whose hand the chains of monarchy dropped from the limbs of the American colonies. Living in France to Be Better. A bulletin just issued by the department of labor carries this headline: "British Housewives Want American Conveniences." The department of labor might have gone farther than this, for it truthfully could have said that the French housewives and the Belgian housewives want American conveniences. The American soldiers' ideas of living conditions took hold of the men and women of France. One thing was set down as a truth: When the villages of France and Belgium are rebuilt, bathtubs therein will not be a curiosity as in former days. The wonder is if Americans who have not traveled abroad have an understanding of housing conditions in France outside of the big cities, and to a considerable extent in the big cities themselves. Everybody read at the beginning of the war how amazed the villagers and the farming people in France were at the determination of every British soldier to have a bath daily if he could get it by hook or by crook. The water-drinking habit of the British also was hard for the French and the Belgians to understand. Getting a Drink in Brest. One can speak from personal experience of certain things which happened after the American army got into French territory. In a hotel in Brest it took me forty-five minutes to get a drink of water. I asked a young woman acting as what we would call a bellhop if she would be good enough to get me a drink, or tell me where I could get one. Her answer was a question in French: "What sort of wine does Monsleur wish?" When I told her that I wanted a drink of water she looked perfectly flabbergasted. A request of that kind probably had not been heard in that hotel for many moons. There was a consultation of young women on the subject of how to get me a drink of water. It must be said that this request was made between menis. On the French tables there is always a carriage for ornamental purposes, but brought into occasional use by Frenchmen who like to mix their water with their light wines, although the wine is so innocuous that a dozen glasses of it will not intoxicate. After the consultation was over a glass of water was produced, but the young woman who gave it to me said that she didn't think it was quite fresh. No Ventilation for Peasants. In France the peasants have had the centuries long habit of sleeping with all their windows and doors tight closed. This fact probably is responsible for some of the tuberculosis which exists In France. American soldiers asked the French people in the village in which our boys were billeted why they did not ventilate their houses. American doctors, volunteering to care for some of the sick among the French peasants, insisted on ventilation and many a French man, woman and child, under the direction of American physicians, slept with windows open for the first time in their lives. The report is that they liked it. The word is that the French people in some sections of the country are going to demand American improvements and are not only going to demand them, but are going to get them. When once the bathtub, the ventilator, modern washing appliances and other modern things are taken into parts of France and put into use, the people of the other parts of the country will demand them.
