LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY State Hist & Nat Hist 500, State House LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE RIOT RAG ALARMING TOLL OF THE DEAD PAYING DEARLY TO MAKE OCRACY—VARIOUS CAUSE INVESTIGATIONS BY GOVI FIVE DAYS REACHES 1,10 RACE RIOT RAGES IN CHICAGO ALARMING TOLL OF THE DEAD—BLACKS AND WHITES ARE PAYING DEARLY TO MAKE AMERICA SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY—VARIOUS CAUSES ATTRIBUTED TO RIOTING—INVESTIGATIONS BY GOVERNMENT—CASUALTY LIST IN FIVE DAYS REACHES 1,100 KILLED AND WOUNDED. THE riot in Chicago beginning last Sunday when a white man threw a stone at a black boy, knocking him from a raft at the Twentyninth Street beach and causing him to be drowned ignited the flame which has resulted into what may be termed a confaguration which to all appearances is ever increasing, and up to the time of going to press the toll of dead and injured has reached such proportions that the federal government is more than likely to take a firm stand for the suppression of mob rule and lawlessness for this time, and a prevention of like circumstances in the future. After this wilful murderous action of the white man, it is generally conceded, and even admitted by Chief of Police Garrity, that if the policeman, Callahan by name, had not in his indiscretion refused to arrest the murderer, the subsequent riot would not have taken place. The chief declared if the charge of refusal to arrest is sustained, then Callahan is the individual responsible for the aftermath. Bitter Fighting Between Blacks and Whites Bitter fighting between blacks and whites is still raging and extending to all parts of Chicago. The determination of the whites seem to be THE EXTERMINATION OF THE BLACKS from the city, while the latter realizing the odds against them seem to resolve to die for the righteous cause of self defense. An account in brief gives the following: Rioting continues. It is extending to all parts of Chicago, the serious casualties being more numerous than at any other period in the racial war. Troops are guarding the situation and the police endeavoring to do their best are almost powerless against the mob whose numbers are increasing on both sides. In certain instances whites and blacks slashed each other with knives, shot from ambush or ran down isolated members of the other race and beat them into insensibility. The police struggled vainly to clear the white rioters from the South Side Negro quarter, the mob spirit spreading like a plague to every residence and business section. On the West Side white men attacked Negroes and in one case burned a Negro by applying gasoline. On the North Side fighting proceeded for several hours and in the residential districts known as Woodlawn and Englewood on the far South Side, fierce fighting took place. A mob of whites attacked the Provident hospital, a Negro institution, Tuesday night, where many victims were being treated. They partially succeeded, wounding a few Negroes and whites, and were finally beaten off by the police. The hospital was caring for about seventy patients, half of whom were victims of the riot. A large number of Negroes and whites including policemen have been killed and wounded and what with the street car strike greater advantage is given to the rioters to make their attacks. Business in Chicago Partially Suspended. On account of the street car tie-up, more than 2,000,000 of Chicagoans are seriously inconvenienced, and the in- VOL.

More than 1,000 Negroes in the employment of the mucreasing rioting is almost creating a municipal government were instructed to remain in their homes off duty until the rioting had ceased. All street repair work has stopped, because about one-half of the employés are Negroes. Nine playgrounds, where white and colored children are patrons were ordered to be closed by the Public Works Department. Railroad porters and dining car men were permitted to remain on their cars. The Chicago packers are hard hit by the race riots. Big reductions in receipts of livestock here Wednesday reflected knowledge by rural shippers that owing to the riots and labor difficulties the packing houses would be greatly hampered. Various Causes Presumed. Some white sources think German propaganda, others I. W. W. influence; Bolshevism comes in for a little blame also, but the general opinion from Negro sources is RACE HATE, petty jealousy over RACE PROGRESS and another attempt to ignore the practical workings of the Constitution of the United States. Be that as it may, whatever may be the cause, THE RIOT IS ON and neither side is willing to give up their position, therefore a restoration to things normal must rest with IMPARTIAL INVESTIGATIONS which the city, state and federal government should immediately institute, so as to accurately place the blame for the origin of this accursed disease that is making America the ridicule of other civilized nations. The Remedy or Cure for Mob Rule. The remedy or cure for mob rule and lawlessness lies with the authorities of a government in improving the moral and social status of a population and giving an education to all its people of a certain standard that will forever remove the iniquitous feeling engendered by Americans who have been fortunate to be white, that Nature and Nature's God made them a little lower than the angels and the black human creation very little better than the brute, beast. An opportune moment right now for Congress to be guided in the adoption of the League of the Nations. Probably Japan, China or Abyssinia may be able to suggest how to rule the lawless and eradicate the mob spirit if our vaunted civilization would not compel us to ignore GOOD ADVICE. IF YE SOW THE WIND, YE MUST REAP THE WHIRLWIND. TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH WILL RISE AGAIN. We beg to acknowledge with much interest a communication that came to us this week from an eyewitness and a distinguished character of our race who was in Washington, D. C., during the recent riot. It runs thus: My Dear Rivers: The white press has flooded the whole nation with lies about the WASHINGTON RIOT. No white woman was outraged. There was just one and only one cause, "Race Hatred," for the outbreak. The greatest crime that the Negro has committed here or in any other section of the U. S. is the crime of PROGRESS. Yours truly, etc. Yours truly, etc. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1919 PHILADELPHIA TRIBUNE IN PLAIN OUT- SPOKEN EDITORIAL PUTS BLAME FOR RACE RIOT WHERE IT BELONGS A CAREFUL READING OF THE ARTICLE BELOW SHOULD CONVINCE THE REAL AMERICAN PATRIOT OF ITS TRUTH. THE WASHINGTON RIOT. THE unfortunate happening in Washington, D. C., is to be deplored by all law-abiding citizens. While this is true, it is equally true that white men are generally the fomentors of such episodes, and are cowardly enough afterwards to make colored men the aggressors. As a general rule white and colored folks get along nicely together. In very many instances they are real chummy. But differences between them are just as liable to spring up as they often spring up between white men and white men. The only one notable difference being if two white men happen to get into an altercation, each one is satisfied to let the better man win. But if a white man gets into an altercation with a colored man, and the colored man licks him, that licked white man will run around and gather up a lot of white friends to go after that one solitary colored man. This, of course, brings on what is termed a race riot. Due to the fact that the colored man has sympathetic friends, too. Another element worthy of note is the determination of the Southern white hoodlums, dressed as soldiers or sailors, who have been brought from their homes by the exigency of war, to do all in their power to create race friction in any city in which they observe that colored people are enjoying privileges in excess of anything they have been accustomed to witness in their home-town. The editors of our white newspapers know this is true, but are afraid to openly confess it. They would much rather increase their popularity with their white readers by placing in public print all the blame for race riots upon the colored man's shoulders. He is the fellow who must be held up to public contempt. He is the fellow who must be kept in cowardly subjection. Even if a white woman has to be used in the drama to incite hatred. This same spirit of moral cowardice which is displayed by the editors of our dailies, is doubtless hereditary. That this is true is often proven in their boyhood days. If a white and colored boy have a disagreement, the colored boy will make an offer to fight it out. But the white boy will stand sullenly and wait until a number of white men gather around. Seeing them, that white boy musters up enough courage to fight. Believing that if he does not succeed in whipping the colored boy, that his sympathetic white friends will jump on that little colored chap, give him a sound thumping and afterwards hand him over to a policeman. The whole transaction is cowardly and unfair, but that is one of the methods adopted by a class which has inherited cowardice, and its legacy may be traced to the editorial room, the pulpit, the reporter's chair—everywhere. Race riots are the offsprings of lawlessness. Lawlessness is engendered by hatred and hatred is fostered by the public press. As Lowell wrote: Right forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne; But that scaffold sways the future, And within the dim unknown Standeth God within the chancel Keeping watch above his own. And then the good old poet says: Then to side with Truth is noble, SPEECH OF HON LAWRENCE C. PHIPPS IN THE U. S. SENATE SPEECH OF HON LAWRENCE C. PHIPPS IN THE U. S. SENATE Strongly Advocates Preservation of American Institutions in League of Nations—Will Support League With Reservations. MR. PHIPPS: Mr. President, I desire to say a few words on the subject of a league of nations. Asuming that it were possible to form a league of nations which would— First. Insure to the people of the world a lasting peace, by the prevention of wars between nations; Second. Preserve the sovereignty of the citizens of the United States so that they would at all times be free to decide questions affecting their own nationality and inherent rights, such as control of immigration and the levying of proper tariff rates; and Third. Leave exclusively to the decision of the United States government the policies which it could adopt, from time to time, for the control of its foreign affairs and in dealing with other nations— Such a league would appeal to me as one to which the United States should subscribe as a member. The covenant for a league of nations as in corporated in the treaty of peace being negotiated with governments of the central powers and other nations does not properly provide for any one of the three conditions above named; therefore, in my opinion, it should not be approved by the Senate of the United States without first making certain reservations of modifications which would cure these defects. The suggestions for amendment proposed by Hon. Elihu Root appear to cover what is needed to put the covenant in acceptable form, although further changes may be deemed advisable. I believe that the thorough discussion by the Senate of the proposed league and of the treaty of peace is a national duty, with a view to seeking, fairly and impartially, the most practical methods to be employed for the maintenance of a lasting peace. While it is RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources --- probable that the problems involved can be worked out in a satisfactory manner, which I hope will be done, and the approval of the Senate given, I am strongly opposed to the acceptance of the league in its presentf orm. It has been my endeavor to give earnest consideration to this most important subject with an open mind and Farrell, Pa.—Mr. Archie W. Kemp, of Darr avenue, head of the nail coat department at the plant of the American Steel and Wire Company, has been ordered to Donora, Pa., for fifteen days to superintend the opening of the nail coating department of that place, which has been idle for some time. Mr. Kemp is an expert in his line of work and is an efficient employ. Pensacola, Fla. — Miss Rosebud Spann, young colored woman, daughter of Mrs. J. T. Spann, widow, one of the leading colored families of this place, was attacked July 9th, and dragged from her buggy to the woods by a white brute. Two hundred and fifty dollars reward has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the assailant by colored citizens of Pensacola, and the aid of the governor of Florida has been sought. Savannah, Ga.—The Wage Earners' Savings Bank and allied interests have just begun what is doubtless the most stupendous commercial transaction ever effected by our people. At a cost of $75,000 the bank has just acquired the remaining portion (80 feet) of that block of West Broad street realty between Wayne and Alice streets. The cost price represented approximately $1,000 per front foot. The complete proposition will entail a total estimated expenditure of half a million ($500,000) dollars. A modern, up-to-date transient hotel, a modern theater-auditorium and a first-class department store will be embraced in the great structure which is soon to be erected on this commanding site. New York.—A colored woman's remarkable gift to the people of her race in the United States is reported by Dr. J. M. Gaston, chief executive of the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen. The woman, said Mr. Gaston, is a graduate of Scotia Seminary, a Presbyterian school in North Carolina. Left a widow on her own resources, she courageously opened a rooming house in an Ohio city and accumulated $15,000. Of this she has set aside $5,000 for business capital and the remaining $10,000 she has presented to the Freedmen's Work of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., in order, as she said, "More girls may have the same chance I had." New York, July 28.—Congressional investigation of the wave of mob violence and lynching throughout the United States was demanded in an "address to the Nation," signed by former President Taft, officials of several southern states and other nationally prominent citizens, made public here today by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People. "Patriotic citizens throughout the country feel the shame which lynchings have cast upon the nation, but they have assumed partial responsibility for this shame by their silence and their acquiescence. "The time has now come when citizens of the United States can no longer contemplate without protest the setting at naught of the fundamental principles upon which their citizenship is based." The "address" recounts that in 1918 no less than 67 persons "were done to death without trial or any process of law," and declares that it is well known that the innocent, with the guilty, "suffer the cruel inflictions of mob violence." A congressional investigation is urged so that "means may without reference to party affiliation. My strong feeling has been that the interests of the United States are paramount and must be given precedence, while the affairs and claims of foreign nations are only entitled to take second place, in the consideration of the subject by the Senate. be found to end the siege. Prominent signers included: United States Attorney General Palmer, former Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore, Ellhu Root, Charles E. Hughes and Judge Ben B. Lindsey. New York, July 25.—Details of the lynching in Milan, Ga., May 24, of Berry Washington, 72 years old, a Negro, for having killed John Dandy, a white man, in defense of two young Negro women, reported in dispatches from Atlanta last night, were contained in the sworn statement of a Negro clergyman, whose name was withheld, made public here recently by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The clergyman's reports tated that at 1 a. m. on May 24, Dandy and another white man went to the Negro section of the town and demanded entrance to the home of a Negress, with two daughters. Admission was refused, the clergyman stated, and Dandy fired a shot through the door. The girls fled to the home of a neighbor. The white men, the report continued, chased the girls, who hid under the porch. When the girls refused to come out the men broke down the door and started tearing up the floor. The woman became frightened and jumped into a well while her children screamed for help. Washington, the affidavit stated, ran out of the house with a shotgun in his hand and when asked by the white men what he wanted, he is reported to have said: "To see what is the matter with the woman and children." Dandy, the Negro minister alleged, threatened to kill Washington, but the latter fired first and killed Dandy, whiler he other man ran away. Washington gave himself up to the police, the report said, and was lodged in McCrae jail. At midnight a mob of between 75 and 100 men took Washington out of jail and carried him to Milan, where he was lynched over the spot where Dandy was killed. He was hanged to a post and his body riddled with bullets. ST. LOUIS, MO., July 26.—One of the important features of the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League will be a discussion, "A Reconstruction and Readjustment Symposium — The Negro's Relation Thereto," in which national leaders of thought will participate. The subjects of Labor, Health, Business and related questions and problems will be dealt with at length. It is hoped that a sympathetic Southernner of national reputation will also be present to speak on this occasion. Addresses will also be delivered by Mr. William D'Arcy, President of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America; Mr. Alien W, Clark, Chairman of the Clean-Up and Paint-Up Bureau, with headquarters at St. Louis, and Col. Otis B. Duncan of the famous 8th Illinois regiment. The official announcement of entertainments for the League include a visit to the Anheuser-Busch Bevo plant, a special entertainment at the Booker T. Washington theater and an industrial and Fraternal parade showing the achievements of the Negroes of St. Louis and the Middle West. The Eighth Illinois Regiment Band will furnish music for the reception and banquet which will be held Friday evening, August 15th, at the Coliseum. It will thus be seen that the Local Negro Business League of St. Louis is making full and complete arrangements not only for the business meeting of the League, but also for the entertainment of the delegates and of the friends. The meeting begins August 13th. FOREIGN France may again be put on bread rations in September, it is said, because of a possible wheat shortage. Premier Paderewski has arrived in Warsaw from Paris.

The Polish advance into Galicia was made so rapidly that the Ukrainians had no time to destroy the railways or bridges as they retired. The Poles, according to this announcement, took 6,500 prisoners and forty-one guns as well as vast quantities of munitions. An American loan of $100,000,000 has been obtained by Martin Nordegg, representing the Deutsche Bank of Berlin, according to an exchange telegraph dispatch from Berlin. It was said 10 per cent of the loan would be deposited in foreign bonds to the German bank's credit. The Philippine legislature purposes the enactment of a prohibition measure for the islands in the event it is held that the national prohibition amendment recently ratified in the United States does not apply to the Philippines. This announcement was made by legislative lenders. The proposed measure, it was said would be an exact copy of the act of the American government.

Charles Place of Sawpit was instantly killed when an auto plunged over Hairpin Tour curve and dropped thirty feet to the bottom of the canon. The rear wheel rim broke and the sharp spokes pierced Place's head and stomach. The state land office has just made a preliminary summary of the amount of money received for oil leases on state land. The total received so far is $115,000. There still remain a number of applications for leases to be approved. Mrs. Eldin, her son, Henry, age 11, and daughter, Opal, 7 years old, were instantly killed and four other children were seriously injured at Lakin, east of La Junta, in wagon grade crossing, when a wagon in which they were riding was struck by a Santa Fé train. The first car of cabbage to be shipped from Brighton was sent to Texas. Farmers of that district are bringing in cabbage daily and the buyers are loading cars on the tracks ready for shipment. Practically all of the produce men are ready for the big crop which is to be harvested next month and have many orders for cabbage. The greatest wheat crop in the history of Phillips county is being hauled to the elevators and the harvest is just about done. The total is safely placed at 2,000,000 bushels of wheat and the yield is running from twenty to forty-two bushels an acre, the average being twenty-six. The grain is testing sixty pounds to the bushel and is selling at the local elevators for $1.90. It is placing it conservatively to say that Phillips county farmers will be richer by $3,600,000 this fall. The south wing of the museum of natural history in City Park in Denver is to be erected as a memorial to William H. James, active in the early mining development in Colorado, and for years a resident of Denver. The gift to the city is from Mrs. Elsie J. Lemen and Harry C. James, the daughter and son of the pioneer, who until a few days ago were unknown donors of the addition to the museum. Mr. Harry James is vice president of the Denver National Bank, and is treasurer of the Museum Commission. Monte Vista will stake a big three-day Frontier round-up and stampede on the occasion of the meeting of the Spanish. Trail-Mesa Verde Highway Association, August 11th, 12th and 13th. California Jack and his Wild West riders and outlaw horses have been engaged for the event. Advance reports from threshermen received by the Co-operative Crop Reporting Service indicate that the yields of wheat will be close to normal this year, except the north central part of the state and in restricted areas in the eastern part. In parts of Weld, Morgan, Larimer, Boulder, Adams, Jefferson and Arapahoe the crop was seriously damaged by drought and will in many districts average as low as 50 per cent of the normal production. Since this district produces a very large percentage of the wheat grown in the state the result will be a marked reduction in total production from preliminary estimates. The acreage devoted to the crop, however, is somewhat greater than advance reports indicated, so that total production will be fully 300,000 bushels greater than the largest crop previously grown. Except in the southwestern part of the state, range pastures have suffered very severely from the continued drought and the condition of livestock generally has depreciated as a result in the past ten days. The north central section continues to be the most afflicted district and considerable numbers of cattle have been shipped out for feeding in other sections of the state or in other states. On the Western Slope the rainfall has been generally ample until very recently and ranges are only beginning to be damaged. --- Telegrams received by Manager J. L. Beaman of the Colorado State Fair from Congressmen Valle and Hardy, state that arrangements have just been made by the War Department to send an elaborate display of heavy war materials for exhibit at the fair which opens in Pueblo Sept. 22.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN Denver's new state armory will be built on Thirteenth avenue between Sherman and Grant streets, it has been announced. The site, which was purchased at a cost of $45,000, has received the approval of Gov. Oliver H. Shoup and of the State Military Board. A feature of the building will be the gymnasium. The cost of the armory will be $200,000, this amount having been appropriated by the last Legislature. The design of the building will conform to the other state buildings. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West There are 46,211 farms in Colorado, with a total area of 12,388,970 acres, according to reports from county assessors compiled by the state immigration department. Incomplete, the reports show that the area in cultivation in Colorado this year as 4,420,765 acres. Complete reports, it is estimated, will raise this by not less than 200,000 acres. This is exclusive of 216,102 acres of land devoted to wild hay, which has often been reported as cultivated land. The shipment of potatoes from this state this season has been the greatest in the history of Colorado. According to records of the United States Bureau of Markets, 13,660 cars of potatoes have been shipped from the 1918 crop. This places Colorado fourth among the twenty-one late potato shipping states of this country.

Phillips county is the state's leading agricultural district in proportion to its size, having a larger percentage of its area under cultivation than any other county, according to reports of county assessors to the State Immigration Bureau. Phillips county has 163,212 acres under cultivation, or 37.52 per cent of its area. Logan county, which was given this honor at first reports, has but 34.79 per cent of its total acreage in cultivation. Eight thousand acres of land in Montrose county has been reclaimed by the laying of 365 miles of tiling, according to an estimate made by Montrose authorities. For years, with thousands of acres remaining idle because of seepage, the drainage has been the greatest problem facing the Uncompaghre valley farmer. However, this has been to a great extent overcome by the use of such a large quantity of tiling. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Mesa County's share of the state school fund will total $9,073.38.

HARDLY GO TO PRESS since the nation, dress of nine months ago, and partially shedding the notion of some citizens bent on continuous disturbance, the greater, the less," and as the minority for something alike appearing in our columns. What other alternative can we adopt when the government of the grave responsibility resting on them against occurrences similar to present events expenses what is termed justice to the so-called slave? Who would require any better code of laws for people, a country, a nation, than the powerful institution STATES CONSTITUTION, but which is used in betterment and protection of the class citizenry cannot, we will not encourage the idea of the mob to make a solution of the present crisis, no matter what source it comes from, that anything provocative to the issue, but in all human impartial review is taken of the long list of cases that mob rule has exacted these many years, what it would be impracticable to eliminate the head of the nation, in the government, for not the entire cleaning out of the characters that our civilization and our great American institution has become a fashion. Think! Illinois will live in twelve years (large events), and the Boston, Philadelphia, coming in for minor events within three months, we have had this abolition with, even at the seat of government while the session, and the defiant attitude of law-breaker nothing short of anarchy and riot. No wonder a colonization plans find great support for their well as confirmation of their statement that the jury is a mockery, and it's the height of folly of American civilization. We are not attempting to cause everyone is conversant with the law of "minor, the greater, the less," and as the minority so perforce must accept the blame, punishment, rest barbarous and savage form, we are made to again as usual. NOT results from RACE HATE. "Race hate," as Washington wrote us the other day, "comes from people in this country estimated very little be creation." In the language of the New York ELEE TIMES THAT DRY MEN'S SOULS." And reach other states or cities, we may not know, we judicious in our sayings, whether verbal or written of the registration of the thermometer of MOB RULE governed by the law that offers protection to THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER! WE CAN HARDLY GO TO PRESS since the nation, dressed in her war clothes of nine months ago, and partially shedding them, to the dissatisfaction of some citizens bent on continuous disturbance in our cluding the minor, the greater, the less," and as the minority is always the LYNCHING or something alike appearing in our columns. But what can we do? What other alternative can we adopt when every time we try to remind the government of the grave responsibility resting on its shoulders, and warn them against occurrences similar to present events, some evasive state law dispenses what is termed justice to the so-called superior citizen of the nation? Who would require any better code of laws for the government of a people, a country, a nation, than the powerful instrument termed the UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, but which is used in a convenient form to the betterment and protection of the class citizenry instead of the mass? We cannot, we will not encourage the idea of the retaliation of mob meeting mob to make, a solution of the present crisis, and we denounce any action, no matter what source it comes from, that lends an incentive or anything provocative to the issue, but in all human reason, we ask, when an impartial review is taken of the long list of crime, the very heavy toll that mob rule has exacted these many years, would it not be impossible as it would be impracticable to eliminate the law of SELF-DEFENSE, and hence we wonder, what has become of the authority invested in the head of the nation, in the government, for not only the suppression but the entire cleaning out of the characters that foster such blots upon our civilization and our great American institution. It certainly has become a fashion. Think! Illinois with three race riots out of five in twelve years (large events), and the cities of New York, Washington, Philadelphia, coming in for minor events. In rapid succession, within three months, we have had this abominable disgrace to contend with, even at the seat of government while the law-making body was in session, and the defiant attitude of law-breakers can be construed to be nothing short of anarchy and riot. No wonder the leaders of the African colonization plans find great support for their repatriation movement, as well as confirmation of their statement that the democracy of this country is a mockery, and it's the height of folly to talk about enjoying American civilization. We are not attempting to discuss who is to blame, because everyone is conversant with the law of "the major includes the minor, the greater, the less," and as the minority is always the recipient, who perforce must accept the blame, punishment, and in our case, the most barbarous and savage form, we are made to be the sponsors this time again as usual. RACE RIOT results from RACE HATE. "Race hate," as an eminent educator in Washington wrote us the other day, "comes from RACE PROGRESS of a people in this country estimated very little better than the brute beast creation." In the language of the New York Evening Sun—"THESE ARE TIMES THAT DRY MEN'S SOULS." And whether the fashion will reach other states or cities, we may not know, we cannot tell, but let us be judicious in our sayings, whether verbal or written, also our actions, and if the registration of the thermometer of MOB RULE heightens our way, be governed by the law that offers protection in the act of self-defense—THUS FAR AND NO FARTHER! THE BLAME—"WE. US AND OURSELVES." REMARKABLE how our white fellow-citizens of great majority, and even those in high position, are ready to hurl the fiery darts of denunciation, or every ill action that occurs in America in a part, either by their training, the tuition and assailed, and we try as human nature coes from cruelty and death. In the riot in New Y IT IS MOST REMARKABLE how our white fellow-citizens in this country in the great majority, and even those in high positions of state and church, are ready to hurl the fiery darts of denunciation, insult, abuse and blame for every ill action that occurs in America in which we are forced to take a part, either by their training, the tuition they give us, or when assaulted and assailed, and we try as human nature compels, to defend ourselves from cruelty and death. In the riot in New York the blame was first placed on a colored soldier, then the whole colored section was afterwards brought in, and it wound up with the majority opinion from our superior citizens (?), white, that we were incapable of appreciating THE LARGER HUMAN LIBERTY that we were pitchforked into or we had thrust on us. Then came a little skirmish in Chicago, and while it didn't last for more than two days, with but little injury or bad results, the Negro came in for the theme of the song. The mob-fever extended to Washington with the usual password, "Assaulting a white woman"; and immediately the sergeant-at-arms, outer guard or whatever you may be pleased to term him, threw open the door, admission was gained, and after the melee, this specie of creation that the abominable creator of prejudice scoffs at and taunts, as if he came to earth by some accident or misfit process, having measured up MAN TO MAN AND STEEL TO STEEL, again led the chorus of the song, "the Negro the originator, the instigator"; and in spite of a fact so plain—a truth that is in progress, the people of our race get a powerful dose of the cyanide of potassium of discredit for ORDER, and the strychnine of ignorance, superstition and murderous intent and purpose. Follow closely the opinion of Secretary Frank K. Lane of the Interior, who has been making speeches around some Negro schools and institutions of learning for some time, telling Negroes how to obey their masters and superiors, and when he was asked as to his version of the origin of the RACE RIOTS in various parts of the country, in the same order of action he started with the subterfuge and delusion of German propaganda, only to bring out the real truth of what is passing through his mind and what he has at heart. After the German propaganda hoax and his expression, "that the state and government authorities must handle the situation" (which an American 8-year-old child, black or white, fully knows), a direct question as to what the government could do to eliminate RACE HATRED was put to him, and not being able to dodge behind a fence any longer, he ventured these words, which give the proof that a white man in America, however intellectual, however cultured, religious or sympathetic (majority of course), feels in the bottom of his heart, that the members of his race are above reproach, practically immuned from wrong-doing, in the end INFALLIBLE! "Give us more schools," said Secretary Lane, "like the Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes. I do not believe that one of the blacks connected with these riots was a graduate of these schools. There the Negro man and woman are taught the proper conception of their duty and relation toward society, and this teaching develops what properly constitutes a morale." Now, reader, read clearly between the lines of this secretary of an administration that is preaching the doctrine of SERVANTS (black) OBEY YOUR MASTERS, but servants (white) your color, your blood, make us all one, and at any time you serve just think it temporary service. We would not attempt and could not reflect on the work done by the two schools mentioned by the secretary, but would he in the next breath say, "And if all our schools were Harvard and Yale, Columbia and Dartmouth, and others of that order, this white race would as a whole get rid of the vile and accursed RACE HATRED that is sapping the very vitals of this nation, which must crumble if she continues in a wrong that must be paid with high Heaven's vengeance?" Has Hampton or Tuskegee (Mr. Lane's criterion of the zenith of Negro training in this country) caused a cessation of mob rule or lynching? Have they in any degree modified the hate towards us and the brutal treatment we are receiving in the South, and instead of a German propaganda as he would have us believe, does he hoodwink at the threat of the South, which they engender and nursing for more than fifty years against the North? We are afraid, Mr. Secretary, that whether it be by the shedding of blood or passive methods as education, etc., THE TURNING OF THE LANE IS AT HAND. The people of our race will not rule in America, but when the real education that makes a man a man, with broad vision, strength of intellect and character, and a determination to enter into competition with any race or nation in the markets of the world is ours, then instead of our black people being trained by the schools of your choice "to have a proper conception of their duty to American society and develop morale," as you say, they will compel a recognition of practical citizenship and demand a dispensation of justice that will bring help from somewhere, some time, and free them from the mental serfdom that now threatens to paralyze their every effort to succeed and progress. YOU BLAM US NOW. WHOSE TURN IS THE NEXT? Cheyenne News Cheyenne News JOHN BARLEYCORN CUTS NO FIGURE. Last week was Frontier Week in Cheyenne. It is said by the Frontier committee that there were more people in the city last week for Frontier than there has been for years, and one of the largest street carnivals in the history of Cheyenne.

We are sure that this place is well appreciated by the majority of the colored people of this city. Rev. W. L. N.

MONDAY, AUG. 4 BIG EMANCIPATION DAY Picnic AND DINNER AT V.J.GRAVES' FARM 28th St. West of Old Fair Grounds Boulder BENEFIT FOR REV. OVER. The public is generally aware that Rev. D. E. Over, pastor of Zion Church, was suddenly stricken in health last month and that during the intervening weeks his condition has been such that grave fears have been entertained relative to his recovery. It is now evident that recovery is probable and that with a period of complete rest and quiet the health and usefulness of this splendid leader may be saved to the community. Upon the advice of his physicians, Zion Church has determined to send him away for recuperation, and, while realizing the heavy responsibility involved, we believe that the many friends who appreciate the character of the great service he has rendered this community during the past ten years will consider it a privilege to make some contribution toward this worthy end. Sunday, August 3d, has been designated as "Pastor's Benefit Day." Any offerings for this purpose may be given at the church or sent to C. M. Hughes, church treasurer, 2400 Humboldt street. J. W.

"We are advised by officers of our Pensacola, Florida, branch that Miss Rosebud Spann, young colored woman, daughter of Mrs. J. T. Spann, widow, one of the leading colored families of Pensacola, was attacked July 9th and dragged from her buggy to the woods by a white brute; that two hundred fifty dollars reward has been offered for arrest and conviction of the assailant by colored citizens of Pensacola. "National Association for Advancement of Colored People in name of its Florida branches asks your interest in enlisting help of local authorities for energetic and appropriate legal action in defense of this young woman's honor.

The telegram is as follows: All Day and Evening by Prof. Morrison's Big Jazz Orchestra NOTE—PASSENGERS ON INTERURBAN TELL CONDUCTOR TO LET YOU OFF AT TWENTY-EIGHTH STREET, BOULDER. WALK TWO BLOCKS NORTH. COME AND CELEBRATE THE DAY. "July 21, 1919. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, White House. Washington D.C. "In the name of twelve million Negroes of the United States, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully calls your attention to the shame put upon the country by the mobs, including United States soldiers, sailors and marines, which have assaulted innocent and unoffending Negroes in the national capital. Men in uniform have attacked Negroes on the streets and pulled from street cars to bent them. Crowds are reported by New York Times to have directed attacks against any passing Negro by cries of 'there he goes.' The effect of such riots in the national capital upon race antagonism will be to increase bitterness and danger of outbreaks elsewhere. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon you as President and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the nation to make statement condemning mob violence and to enforce such military law as situation demands.

Over of Zion Baptist Church Suddenly Stricken But Has Fighting Chance. THE Rev. David E. Over has a fighting chance for restoration to health if he goes to a lower attitude and be removed from the scene of his usual activities" are the words of his physician, Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, and other specialists who have been in consultation over the sudden illness that has befallen this public-spirited man—a man who in spite of obstructions, difficulties and sometimes almost insurmountable happenings both in his ministerial as well as civic life, in his championing the cause of EQUALITY OF RIGHTS FOR ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS, has become the victim of nature's exhaustion, the result of tremendous mental and physical overwork. "Show me a man of whom someone never said anything ill in this life, and I'll show you a man who never attempted anything or accomplished anything" were the precious words of the late Bishop Olmstead of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado, in an address on "leadership" during his episcopate here, and this case in point is most fitting when we know what the Rev. Over has accomplished as a citizen for this community. It is therefore with much sympathy that we indorse and offer our unqualified support to the committee of the Zion Baptist Church in their appeal to members and friends irrespective of denominational affiliation, also to all large-hearted citizens who have followed the career of this representative member of our city, to subscribe their financial assistance to help him in the traveling and other necessary expenses, which will help to restore him to his former health and give us the pleasure of his good counsel and association once more. "He who gives promptly gives twice as much," is the motto of those whose gifts come from the heart and on principle. Our times are not in our hands. Today is the Rev. Over's turn, tomorrow may be yours, there fore send your help to Zion Sunday, Aug. 3, morning or evening service and get credit for doing an honorable act to a man who merits it.

There can be no doubt about it, that the supporters of the White Elephant baseball team are TRUE BLUE, when they show their appreciation by not only attending their games regularly and rooting for them, but giving material support to the permanent life of the team in the subscription of money and their presence at entertainments, the proceeds of which help to maintain their stability. Three tramway cars, capacity filled, besides a large number of touring cars and limousines conveyed the patrons from Denver to Golden, and in conjunction with a representative gathering from the latter place the splendid and well prepared hall lent an added charm to the enjoyment of the lovers of terpsichore, who tripped the light fantastic to the beautiful strains of Morrison's second orchestra. Ed Jackson was floor manager and in his usual characteristic style carried out successfully his part. Too much praise cannot be extended to the youngsters who comprise the team for their indefatigable efforts in establishing such a record in the world of games, and so well pleased were the patrons of this event that already there is a request for a repetition. Manager Jackson and his corps of assistants must be congratulated for such a successful result. OUR BOYS IN BASEBALLDOM The following games scheduled for last Sunday were played with the exception of Bolden Bros. versus Mile High, the same going to the credit of the Bolden team by forfeit, according to the rules of the game, the Mile High having failed to put in their appearance. A. B. C. and Gasuer's clashed in a fierce encounter, when a heavy downpour of rain closed the game abruptly, with the score of 1 to 0 in the sixth inning in favor of the A. B. C.

The biggest excursion ever pulled to Colorado Springs will leave Denver at 8:45 a. m., August 9th. Anyone wishing to stay over may do so as the management has arranged so the ticket will be good on any regular train August 11th. All for the ridiculous low rate of $3, plus war tax. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Quite a large number are visiting the rooms these days, attracted by the reading and recreational features of the summer work. On account of the heat of summer no Sunday afternoon meetings are held during the months of July and August. The meetings will be resumed about the middle of September. Pool players are few during these summer months, outdoor sports having taken the place of indoor games. With the boys baseball and croquet are uppermost, with occasional boxing, checkers and other light games. The men confine their sports almost exclusively to croquet, many of the games being participated in by ladies. Some of the ladies are developing into good players. The most exciting games this week were played between Sims and King. Stung by criticism which he received on account of his frightened and standoffish attitude assumed in former games with Sims. King took up the mallet Tuesday afternoon and whipped Sims into a frazzle, the latter winning nothing out of the five games played. He attempted the same thing on Dr. Stripling later on, but failed in the effort, even though he won the series. Young Artimus Stripling still shows speed, but is seldom able to win from the more experienced players. Some strong games are promised early next week.

Aug.4 We Need a Chamber of Agriculture As Well As a Chamber of Commerce By H. A. WHEELER, President U. S. Chamber of Commerce tions of producers should be developed and made as legal for minerals or timber as for live stock, cereals and fruit. Furthermore there should be a chamber of agriculture, even as there is a chamber of commerce. It should be a federation of all of the agricultural associations and farm bureaus. It would constitute a great factor in promoting efficiency and would enable industrial production and agricultural production through their respective chambers to work together, whereas we now often find these interests antagonistic because of the absence of means through which to co-operate. This brings us to the question of the measure of co-operation which in the period of readjustment should be permitted under government supervision to all producers of commodities calculated for domestic consumption as well as for export. The war taught us many lessons of value, and one of these was that the practical suspension of trust laws during the war, when manufacturers of both war and nonwar commodities were brought into intimate association with each other under government supervision, proved of great value in producing economies in productive costs and in use of needed materials, while under the supervision of governmental boards or agencies prices were stabilized and the public interest served. In the days of readjustment upon which we have entered there is great necessity for a continuation of these rights of association if competition is successfully met in foreign markets, or competition in the domestic market between home production and those that will presently come into this country from foreign producers. The Insistent Demand of the People for a National Budget System The change caused by the war in the chart of the world is probably no more drastic than the transformation, born of the same cause, that has taken place in the human mind. Thoughts that were characterized as "utopian dreams" only four years ago are now being formulated into actual plans by highly practical men having both feet on the ground. The national budget idea is a case in point. Sporadic efforts in its behalf have been made for decades. Both parties stand committed to it. But it could not take tangible form in the past because conditions and minds were not ripe for it. Now they are. The war has done away with stagnation; it has given so gigantic a scope to our political, economic and social problems that on the one hand it has awakened from lethargy the people's mind that generally bothers very little about the intricacies of government, and on the other it has imbued our legislators with a realization of their grave responsibilities. The problems of government are now so staggering that they are capable at least of overcoming the point of view of the local or personal interest. The angle of the bailiwick must now make room for the larger national interest. It is the conscious and subconscious recognition of these facts that in congress has brought about the crystallization of the thought that we must modernize our government's financial methods, and which on the part of the people has brought about an insistent demand for a national budget system. George Bernard Shaw—Poverty is the greatest of evils and the worst of crimes. Our first duty—a duty to which every other consideration should be sacrificed—is not to be poor. "Poor but honest," "the respectable poor," and such phrases are as intolerable and as immoral as "drunken but amiable," "fraudulent but a good after-dinner speaker," "splendid criminal," or the like. If Lessons of War Are Not Forgotten We Shall Soon Have Good Roads By O. F. BERKEY, Chicago Automobile Distributor If the stern lessons we learned in months of war are not soon forgotten a national system of good and permanent roads will be enjoyed by the present generation of Americans. It is nothing less than a twentieth-century wonder that the automobile has attained its present popularity when we consider the average type of road on which our 5,000,000 passenger cars must run. To date the automobile has received no stimulus from roads, as in France and England, unless you except such private projects as the Lincoln and Dixie highways and the progressive work of a few states. The passenger car and the motor truck have developed in spite of roads. Like many other automobile dealers, however, I am optimistic enough to believe a new era of permanent road building is upon us. Not only did the government learn the economic value of permanent roads during the eighteen months we were at war, but there are indications that it is now cognizant of its obligation to build a system of interstate trunk lines that will serve as military highways. France demonstrated the importance of good roads. For none but good roads, permanently built and systematically maintained, could have withstood the travel of the allied armies with their trains of heavy artillery and motor lorries. The American soldier knows this, and when he returns to civilian life he will demand similar highways in this country, no matter how apathetic he may have been on such issues before he put on the khaki of the Yankee doughboy. RING & EVEN Unless we indulge in complete government paternalism, wherein the government becomes the original buying and selling agency of everything, we must conclude that the system of limited price fixing is as undesirable as it is un-American and should be now abandoned with all possible speed. A word of suggestion with regard to unified marketing of natural productions, whether they be products of soil, mine or forest: Violent price fluctuations due to overproduction or imperfect marketing facilities cannot be in the public interest. Marketing associa- By PAUL M. WARBURG, Federal Reserve Board TRUE LOVE LAUGHS AT AGE Shafts of Father Time Powerless to Affect Those Blessed With Mutual Affection. Ordinarily, we would cuss to the limit a "peeper" or an eavesdropper. But we have a confession to make on the first count, and we would plead mitigating circumstances. Here is the story: On a drizzling, foggy night, our way lay down a side street toward home. Several rods ahead there was a shaft of light and when we reached the spot we found a window with the shade half-way up. Wickedly, but not maliciously, we hesitated, stopped—and we peeled There sat an old man and his wife. They must have been well up to the allotted three-score of years. He was smoking and she was knitting. Still we peeped. Then she looked up at him and smiled and said something. He laid down a book, struggled up from out of his comfortable seat and kind of hobbled out of the room, shortly returning and carrying a glass of water, which he handed to her. And as she drank she held the wrinkled and bony hand of her lover. Then, as she finished drinking, she released his hand and the look she gave him and the look he gave her were like shafts of sunshine breaking through the murky clouds after days of rain. That picture has haunted us a long time. Somehow she seems beautiful in our eyes, and yet we did not get a "closeup" of her features. And he, why as we keep thinking of him, we hark back to the days when we once visited a fine old Southern gentleman who possessed the graces of a Chesterfield and the courtesy of a Don Juan. Then we recall the words of a poet which fits the case precisely: "Let Time reach out with his sickle as far as ever he can; although he can reach ruddy cheeks and ripe lips and flashing eyes, he cannot quite love." When a man really loves a woman she will never grow old, and when a woman loves a man he is neither decrept nor bowed nor tremulous. She is the same lass he wooped and he is always the same gallant young fellow who won her heart and her hand. They are absolutely equals, happy and free. These two lovers are traveling toward the City of Silence, but they are leaving behind a picture never to be forgotten.—Fremont Herald. Patriotic Kansan. I had looked forward to my first glimpse of France with an almost fanatical eagerness. France—the land of dreams—I had visioned it so often! But my first real sight of it, save for a few harbor lights, was not at all the thrilling experience that I had expected. As we steamed up the river to Bordeaux I stood, with a group of eager watchers, beside the rail, and looked at the fields stretching along the sides of the river. They were very green, even though it was winter time; and though I was almost breathless with the wonder of reaching a promised land, that vivid green was the only thing that I could quite comprehend. "I never saw grass like that!" I exclaimed stupidly. One of the men—a newspaper man from the middle West—answered me. "You ought to see the grass that we grow in Kansas!" he said. Margaret E. Sangster in the Christian Herald. Dog Watches for Auto. Does evolution in the life of animals cause them to take added care in going across a street infested with autos? Some folks says it does. Early in the auto age numerous dogs were killed because they would run out to bark at an auto and, judging the speed by that of a horse-drawn vehicle, they often were run over. This fact can still be noticed in some country districts, where autos are not plentiful. Close students and lovers of dogs in the city say they have often noticed dogs looking to the left and to the right before they start across a street. Of course, not all of them do, neither do all human beings, but the "thinking" dog does. Watch it for yourself. Future of "Tired" Nations. The recuperative powers of nations is great beyond belief, and hope is ever present as long as the spark of vitality is left. The same superhuman effort that was put forward to repel the invader will again be exerted to remedy the damage that has been done; only there must be a breathing space between effort, and in that space lies the greatest danger. This danger, however, is more imaginary than real, and whatever means are resorted to by the population to deaden the effect of this reactive period, it soon palls and the sober minds of the populace again attain the ascendency.—Forbes Magazine Extravagance in Combs. The notice, "Ladies are requested to remove their combs," appears now on theater programs in London, because of the vogue of the huge Spanish comb among smart women. Some of the combs are of enormous size. The tortoise shell vogue is an expensive one. A light tortoise shell dressing set costs $1,000 or more. Protected His Tonalls John Lay denies the story that he had his tonsils sunburned by gassing skyward the other afternoon at the airplane that was cutting didos in the sky. He says the machine shifted its position often enough to keep him turning about, so that part of the time his mouth was in the shade.—Slikeston Standard. THE KITCHEN CABINET My thoughts come flying forth in flocks. Gay, eager ones of vivid hue. But oh, the little winged things That will not flutter through! The little lovely wistful things That start and then draw back with fear: SANDWICH FILLING OF VARIOUS KINDS. A sandwich may be filled with meat, chicken or fish, making a sandwich which is in itself a meal, or filled with sweets, a dessert or a daltry te serve with a cup of tea or a glass of cooling beverage. ```markdown ``` Cold meat put through the meat chopper, with a sweet pickle or two and bound together with a salad dressing, makes a good sandwich and one in which leftovers may be used without remarks from the family. Veal and Tongue Sandwiches.—Put the veal and tongue through the meat chopper and moisten with a small amount of soup stock; season with paprika and nutmeg. Spread on buttered bread after chilling the meat. Any kind of meat, minced or sliced, mixed with various seasonings such as capers, pickles, nuts or olives will make, with a little ingenuity of the cook, a countless number of good and appetizing sandwiches. Thinly sliced radishes, cucumbers, onions, chopped green peppers and lettuce make most tasty sandwich fillings. Olives, either stuffed, green or ripe, may be mixed with nuts and boiled dressing, or added to cream cheese or to cottage cheese. Cottage cheese with chopped candied cherries (or cream cheese is richer), makes a most tasty sandwich for a sweet sandwich. Chopped celery and cheese (the American) and Roquefort are all good as filling. A club sandwich is enjoyed by the men prepared as follows: Place a slice of tomato with salad dressing on a buttered slice of rye bread, add a layer of cream cheese mixed with chopped nuts, then top with a slice of rye bread. Chopped hard-cooked egg mixed with butter, a pineh of mustard, salt and pepper makes a most appetizing sandwich. Life is not so complex if we do not persist in making it so. We need faith; we need to be brave; we need chronically to keep the corners of the mouth turned up and not down. And after all it is only a step at a time.—Ralph Waldo Trine. FOOD FOR HOT DAYS. There is nothing that takes the place of good vegetables for hot ing that takes the vegetables for hot weather dishes; they rank with fruit in importance. A healthy diet must include vegetables, for they not only build up the bones and teeth but supply bulk. weather dishes; they rank with fruit in importance. A healthy diet must include vegetables, for they not only build up the bones and teeth but supply bulk, which is an essential to intestinal movement; their chief value is in their mineral salts, which are needed to make good blood and produce changes in the body cells which are necessary to keep the body young and supple. A rule which has no exceptions, is to cook vegetables in boiling water and most liquors should be saved for soups or to serve as a sauce with the vegetable; the liquor from beets is one to except. String beans served with a bitter sauce or in a rich cream sauce are delicious, but for variety cook them two to three hours with a quarter of a pound of salt pork or a few slices of bacon if preferred. Cook down with the saucepan uncovered until the moisture is nearly all absorbed and evaporated, then add a tablespoonful or two of vinegar, salt if needed, and a dash of cayenne. Creamed Onions and Tops.—Take finger-sized onions, cut, leaving a three-inch stem, cook until tender and serve in white sauce on toast as asparagus is served. Young beets, tops and all, are very good served as a vegetable. Cook them until tender, chop or cut up in coarse bits and serve with butter and vinegar. The secret of savoriness in vegetables is care in seasoning. Do not always serve the same dish with the same seasonings. When teaching a child to like a certain kind of vegetable make it as attractive as possible in appearance, and go farther to avoid disappointment; make it so tasty that no further urging is necessary. Such vegetables as tender green peas should be cooked in as little water as possible, not to lose the good flavor. For this reason steaming is an economical method to use. The French cook peas in lettuce leaves in the top of the steamer; the lettuce is served as greens, making a most tasty dish. Serve with butter and a dash of vinegar. Salads of various kinds, using both vegetables and fruits, are most acceptable hot weather dishes. WESTERN BEEF CO.

RUSS NOBLEWOMAN DESCRIBES ATROCITIES OF THE BOLSHEVIKI Hundreds of Persons Tortured in the Most Inhuman Fashion Before Being Put to Death and Their Estates Pillaged and Mansions Razed—Thousands Die From Hunger All Over Country. THE FEDERAL FOOTBALL CLUB The sailors on the merchant vessels operated by the shipping board have plenty of amusement in their times of leisure. The photograph shows a boxing bout at a shore station. New York.—"We do not hope any longer; we die!" The despair to which bolshevik misrule has reduced Russia is thus epitomized by a Russian noblewoman widely known throughout her country, in a remarkable picture of events in her country contained in a letter received recently in New York. Her castles and estates plundered or razed, her fortune vanished and her friends and family murdered, this titled woman is moved to remark that "three years ago, my second daughter and her husband died, he having caught cold in the trenches. Then I was in despair; now I envy them." "I beg of you never to mention my name; I wrote frankly to you counting on your discretion," is the plea which fear of bolshevik tyranny moves the unfortunate woman to place at the close of her letter to her friend, a New York woman of prominent and influential family. "Excuse the incoherences; I write with my heart bleeding, knowing that I shall never be able to give you the faintest idea of the sufferings that thousands are enduring." A graphic tale of the misery that spreads itself over Russia is unfolded in the letter. Wholesale pillaging and murder by bolshevik, Germans, Finns and others swept the land clear of its wealth. Both the noblewoman who wrote the letter and the woman who received it are well known. The danger involved for the former makes it advisable that not only the names of the persons but the names of the localities mentioned be withheld from publication. The letter in full reads as follows: "My very, very dear Mrs. B——: "At last I am able to write to you and to hope to hear from you. "I will endeavor to tell you briefly the personal events of these terrible last years. But how to begin? How to give you the faintest idea of the unimaginable atrocities committed by the bolshevik? Speaking of ourselves, I will tell you that we have lost everything. The bolshevik have stolen all our fortune, boxes of silverware, precious objects, personal remembrances which undoubtedly are now destroyed. "Three years ago my second daughter and her husband died, he having caught cold in the trenches. Then I was in despair, now I envy them. The year 1917 in autumn, we had to fee from M——, and come to the city, where we lived under the reds' regime until the arrival of the Germans. "You have probably read in the pa- Potatoes Without Vines Are Grown by Girl Kutztown, Pa.-Lizzie, daughter of Jefferson Hoch, discovered in their potato patch that a number of seed potatoes failed to produce any vines on top of the soil. She was surprised to find the seed potatoes in every hill had clustered around good-sized new potatoes, that the entire vitality of the seed potato was transferred to the new ones, and that there was no vine growth above the surface of the potato hills. The mother potato was still in the hill, but had given up its substance to the young potatoes, which were already so well matured that they could be used for a meal. pers that the reds had sent to Siberia 300 Russian barons, and also some bourgeoisie; some died and the others returned two months after. "Although under our roof lived a military guard of bolshevik or reds, good luck kept us from sharing their lot. I cannot describe the last days. After the arrival of the Germans a list was found of about a thousand persons, in which we were, who were to be shot the very next day. "The reign of the Germans lasted exactly seven months; they annihilated all our hopes, they accumulated taxes upon taxes; carrying away all the food to Germany, leaving the people of our cities to starve." "No discipline, corruption everywhere, no administration. Only those who deliberately closed their eyes to evidence failed to see that a country thus plundered and so badly treated was not to remain long under their rule. But, alas! How many were blind! "Then came the great catastrophe; the German troops fraternizing with the bolshevik at W——; surrendering to them cannon, war ammunition, and refusing to fight. The Germans even damaged the cannon they left to the Esthes troops, which had been formed hastily and were incapable of defending themselves, having nothing, absolutely nothing! Reds Rule Was Worse. "Then, for another year the country was at the mercy of the reds, and it was worse than the first time. "The Bolshevik had with them Chinese and Red Lettes, who were terribly cruel, and those formed the guard of the unfortunate emperor and his family. "On the 28th of November we learned that W—— had fallen; that the Germans were leaving us in haste; and, as the German general commanding at R——, had, at the request of the Lettes, refused the formation of troops with the men of the country, we were left without any defense. "The lights of the electric projectors of the enemy's ships already illuminated our shores; from the castle's tower we could see everything; there was not a minute to be lost. The trains were running only for the German troops; it was then necessary to risk traveling by the inland ways, through dreadful roads and in a country in revolution, for when the Germans took possession of the provinces they took care not to punish their friends, the bolshevik; so that we were compelled to see and to live with the people who had stolen and pillaged our properties. The Germans did nothing to find out the revolutionists and to protect us, nothing! "After having packed in haste the strictly necessary things, our small caravan started at five o'clock in the morning; it was dark and the roads were frightful." "We arrived at R—— on the second of December. We were able to stay four weeks at our home, then in great haste we had to embark on the boat sent to Finland for the fugitives and we arrived at Helsingfors. Lassitude, troubles, aid emotions of all these weeks overwhelmed at last my poor husband. "Fortunately we found two rooms in a hospital; there we lived for two months, being often hungry, and when we could get some food it was execrable.

She is plaintiff, defendant, plaintiff's attorney and star witness in a suit brought by herself against the Instant Anti-Wrinkle company, of which she holds 40 per cent of the stock. The suit is being contested by other stockholders in the concern. Mrs. Parsons claims that the company obtained valuable wrinkle eradicating formulas from her and has withheld her salary. She asserted that she had no money left from the venture, and so was obliged to act as her own attorney. a hundred and fifty marks; a kilogramme of sugar one hundred marks, etc. Also Finland tried to get rid of so many people she had to feed, and, as the bolshevik who come up to 28 kilometers from R—— had been repulsed by the Finn troops, which had at the last moment come in aid to the Letts and to the volontaire corps of Baltes-Germans, the Finns then ordered all fugitives to leave the country within six days. However, we received, on account of my husband's bad condition, permission to stay until he would get better. "Going back was an impossibility, the situation being still very grave; a second expedition was no longer possible for the strength of my poor husband; moreover, we had nothing left. Our large city house was taken and turned into a hospital by a Russian volontaire corps. M — devastated and plundered! First by the bolsheviki, then by the Esths, whom the Germans left unpunished; then by the white troops and the Finns, who were fighting the reds, German properties being left unmolested. Family Lost Everything. "Last year our estate had suffered, but our magnificent castle with all its dependencies had been respected. Now all have pillaged it. The Finns being more civilized stole the most beautiful things—paintings, bronzes, antiques, etc. Finally the 36 masters' rooms and the 11 servants' rooms were plundered. What they could not take away they smashed or burned. We lost everything. Not a sheet, not a plate or a glass exist, and when our intendant complained to the minister of state (a Thesthe), he answered him that naturally in war time everybody wanted to have some souvenirs. The whites pillaged, as I hear, 80 estates, and they were supposed to be our defenders! "Friends here obtained for us the permission to come to K——, where we found two rooms in a family. We hope soon to find some occupation, and sell some furs that I could take with me, for unfortunately my beautiful laces are also in Petrograd.

They killed priests, doctors, nobles, merchants, women, children and peasants. They made several persons dig their own graves, forcing them to undress; a carriage was waiting to take away their clothes. Then they tortured every one, breaking arms and legs, crushing the limbs, snatching the intestines, gouging out the eyes, scarring the cheeks, and they even burned two persons alive. "There were three large pits; they tossed pell mell in one of them the living and the dead, and then these monsters jumped into the pit and trampled under foot the unfortunates until they were lifeless. "Twelve persons were so crushed and disfigured that they could not be recognized. And all that is true! "After the corpses had been exhumed the doctors and the officers of the state took photographs of each, after having examined everyone of them.

A UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD To be correctly and smartly gowned, that is the "consummation devoutly to be wished," when occasion calls for afternoon clothes. In these gowns most young women may be beautiful, and older ones brilliant and stunning; they offer the best of opportunities and a test of ability to take advantage of them. With the fabrics at hand this season, designers have done most unusual things. It is to their credit that they have taken the figured and plain geartettes, satins, crepes de claine and organdies and made innumerable beautiful combinations of them, resulting in a variety that has added new interest to each week since summer dawned. These materials are everywhere. It is the art of the dressmaker that turns them out in unexpected ways and transforms them into unusual gowns. In the picture above georgette and satin are the very usual fabrics that have been converted into two brilliant afternoon gowns. The frock at the left is suited to matronly wearers, with its striking contrasts and general richness of appearance. It owes this to the character of the pattern in the printed georgette as much as to the materials Among Aristoc If Cinderella could revist a world grown more proficient in making footwear since her day, she would scorn her famed glass slippers as soon as she could make comparisons. Their rivals of today are something to wonder at. All the world appears to be coming here to buy our footwear and leather is still mounting skyward in price. Those who are already provided with shoes for a year ahead are going to save money. When the prices get a bit higher we may expect to see cloth shoes with composition or rubber soles taking the place of leather. The group of slippers shown here, together with silk hostery and a trifle of frivolous decoration for the ankle, comprises plain satin, satin and cloth, and silver brocaded slippers for full dress wear. The white and silver brocaded slippers are worn with white silk hose having the re-enforcement of the heel woven in, in a triangle at the back instead of a square. These pumps have prettily shaped French heels, not too high for comfort, and no decoration. The beautiful black pumps shown just below are equally that make it, which are not extravagant in price. The skirt and under-bodice are of black satin, the sleeves of black georgette. A bodice and tunic of printed georgette are posed over this satin foundation and a long, full pointed flounce of it finishes the sleeves. The tunic is cut away over the hips and another agreeable surprise greets us in a narrow border of plain georgette at the bottom of the skirt. There is a girdle of very wide satin ribbon with a single loop and short end at the back, to finish a gown that has distinction and dignity. Distinction belongs also to the gown of printed georgette for a younger woman, shown at the right. Perhaps the suggestion of Japan in its printed figures accounts for the wide kimono sleeve. But the influence of fair Japan ends here. The full skirt is gathered about the ankles and the long sash of satin lies easily about the real waistline. It is a graceful gown, presenting unexpected and very pleasing features in the gathered-in heem and oriental sleeve. One can imagine it in peach or lavender or other pretty shades, any of them set off by the wide black hat that is in the same class with it. rats in Footwear UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD plain but show an inset at the back in beige color. But these two-color pumps are less popular than those that are all black. The thin black silk hose shown with them have graceful insets of chantilly lace at the front. The strapped slipper with broad tongue that completes the group is a novelty. It is fastened by a strap across the instep with a single button, and the tongue indicates that this shoe may have been intended for more practical service than the others. If this is the case these slippers are in the wrong company; for the pretty gewgaw, with pendant beads worn about the leg is altogether unpractical and thoroughly frivolous. However, it is pretty and that is excuse enough for wearing it.

IRVING KING (Copyright 1919 by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) TREATY OF BUCHAREST, 1913. A Peace Treaty Signed Just Before the World War Broke. The boundaries which those chronic disturbers of the peace, the Balkan states, had before the recent world war were established to them by the treaty of Bucharest signed at the Roumanian capital on August 6, 1913, by representatives of the said states and Greece. That treaty closed two wars, practically, one in which the Balkan states were united in fighting Turkey and one in which they were fighting among themselves. By 1910 the Bulgar and Greek bands in Macedonia, which had been quite as likely to massacre each other as to massacre the Turks, had got together for the purpose of devoting all their efforts against the common enemy. Then trouble broke out in Albania and the Serbians sent their irregulars to help the Albanians against the Turks. It was the same old story of the Balkans being "uflange" again. In March of 1912 Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Serbia came to an understanding, agreeing to bury their mutual animosities temporarily and combine against the Turk. Roumania stood aloof. The Porte, alarmed, promised reforms in Albania and Macedonia. Turkey also announced that she would hold army mannevers near Adrianople. Began to "Diplomatize." The great powers began to "diplomatize," to prevent a war. Germany and Austria declared that the status quo in the Balkans must be maintained, and Austria mobilized her army. But the wild nations of the Balkans had got out of hand, and little Montenegro, on October 8, 1912, declared war against Turkey. On October 17 Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia issued a joint declaration to the same effect. A Bulgarian army of 300,000 men occupied Mustapha Pasha on October 19, Kirk-Killisseh on the 24th and invested Adrianople on the 27th. Two days later was fought the sanguinary battle of Lule Burgas, the chief battle of the war, with a front of 22 miles. In this battle the Turks lost 35,000 killed and wounded and 3,000 prisoners, while the Bulgarians lost 15,000 killed and wounded. The Turks now fell back upon the Tcatalja forts, the last line of defense for Constantinople. Meantime the Serblans had swept into Macedonia and were driving the Turks before them with heavy losses, while one part of their army was sent to join the Greeks at Salonikl and another detachment to help the Montenegrins. The Greeks, coming up from the south, routed the Turks in several engagements and finally captured Salonikl. Turkey asked the powers to me Pact Wherein the Neutrality of Belgium Was Defined. The treaty by which the present kingdom of Belgium was created and its neutrality guaranteed was signed at London on November 15, 1831, by the representatives of Austria, Prussia, France, England and Russia. It was, in fact, not merely one "scrap of paper" which the Germans tore up when they invaded Belgium in 1914, but two—for this neutrality guaranteed by the treaty of 1831 was reaffirmed by Germany at the beginning of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 at the demand of England. The congress of Vienna, after Napoleonic wars, had constituted Belgium and Holland one country under the House of Orange. But the Belgians were never content to be under the crown of Holland and when the French revolution of 1830 which placed Louis Phillipe on the throne took place the Belgians were inspired to a successful revolt which was directly impelled by the events of July in Paris. The laws of Holland were generally unfavorable to the Belgians; the Belgians were not proportionately represented in the legislature and there was, besides, the difference in language and religion of the two sections. Although the Belgians spoke French, Dutch was made for them the official language of the courts and only Dutch was taught in the schools. Long before the revolution in Paris an agitation had been going on for a separate administration for the Belgians. Began to shout for France. On August 5, 1830, while the people of Holland were supposed to be celebrating the king's birthday, a revolutionary piece was performed in the opera house in Brussels. Stirred by the dramatic representation the audience began to shout for France and against Holland. The cries were heard in the streets and repeated and a riot ensued. Then some one holested over the city hall the old standard of Brabant and the riot turned into a revolution. In a few hours Brussels was in the hands of the revolutionaries. The revolution spread to the country like wildfire. The revolutionists made a proposal to the king that he should submit to the states-general a proposition for separate governments for Belgium and Holland under the House of Orange. The king promised and fulfilled his promise. A provisional government was established in Brussels which declared Belgian independence and called upon all Belgians serving in the Dutch army to return home. The provinces were now diate and be quick about it. They did so and an armistice was signed between Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro on one side and Turkey on the other on December 3. Greece refused to sign any armistice while Janina, the Albanian capital, remained in Turkish hands, and continued to attack that city. The powers hurriedly got together in a peace conference in London. There was no coming to terms with the Turk, and on February 3, 1913, hostilities were resumed. The Greeks captured Janina, and the Bulgarians drove in the Tchatalja line. A Bulgarian and Serbian army took Adrianople with the Turkish commander and 30,000 prisoners. Scutart in Albania was besieged by a Montenegrin and Serbian army, and Greek men-of-war in the Adriatic were co-operating with the troops. Powers Could Not Agree. The powers were frantic and could not agree among themselves. But on April 19, 1913, another armistice was signed, and on May 30 the belligerents signed at London a treaty of peace with Turkey. By this treaty Turkey surrendered to the Balkan allies the island of Crete and all territory on the European mainland west of the Enos-Midia line, and left the adjustment of the Albanian frontiers and the disposal of the Aegean islands to the powers, which meant that Turkey gave up all her European possessions except Constantinople and the country immediately back of it. But the ink on the treaty was not dry when the Balkan states began to quarrel with each other over the snails. Thirty days after the treaty of London had been signed they were all at it again, with Roumania now playing a part. The Bulgarians attacked the Greeks in the Panghalon district and fought a three days' battle with the Serbians, ending on July 30. Bulgaria Declares War. Three days later Bulgaria declared war against Greece and Serbia, and Montenegro declared war upon Bulgaria. Roumania declared war against Bulgaria on July 10, and Turkey at the same time sent an army forth and captured Adrianople without trouble. The Bulgarians stubbornly resisted the advance of the Greek army north, but King Constantine pressed on toward Sofia. The Montenegrins and Serbs hurled back the Bulgarians in the west, and King Ferdinand sued for peace. And now a new arrangement of the belligerent Balkans is in progress. all in revolt. The Czar, alarmed at what he considered the spread of a revolutionary spirit, called upon the other powers to interfere and promised a contingent of 60,000 troops. Prussia massed her troops on her western frontier and France announced that any movement of Prussian troops into Belgium would be met by a similar movement on the part of the French. A conference of the five great powers was then sitting in London to settle the question of Greece. France proposed that the Belgian question be submitted to the conference. The Polish insurrection, which now broke out, gave the Czar all he could attend to at home, Austria was harassed by the Italian question and Prussia was fully occupied in guarding her eastern frontiers. So England and France were allowed to have their way, which was the way of Belgian independence. Failed to Settle Trouble. The congress of London issued several protocols intended to settle matters but failed to do so. One stumbling block was Luxemburg, which Holland refused to give up and Belgium claimed; deputies from that duchy sitting in the new national assembly. Prince Leopold of Coburg was offered the Belgian crown but refused to accept it until matters were settled more to the liking of the Belgians. The Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium and a French army marched in, the Dutch retiring before it. On November 15, 1831, the representatives of the great powers and Belgium signed the treaty of London. By this instrument a part of Luxemburg was given to Holland and the rest left in the Belgian hands "provisionally". Belgium, it may be remarked, continued to hold the duchy until 1839. The province of Limburg was given to Holland and the boundaries of Belgium established practically as they are today. The king of the Belgians was recognized and the neutrality of the kingdom solemnly guaranteed. The Czar would not ratify this treaty, although his envoys had signed it, until the next May, when he did so. But now King William of Holland balked. He refused to evacuate Antwerp, which was besieged and taken by the French thereupon. It was not until 1839 that King William decided to accept fate. Having done so he abdicated and the Belgian question was settled to reappear in a morrific form 83 years later. 1910 --- PHONE MAIN 3023 John K. Rettig EATS, FANCY AND STAPLE GROCER n K.
