THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE convened in its 20th annual session Wednesday of last week at the Coliseum under the auspices of the Local League promptly at 10 o'clock. Mr. A. E. Malone, president of the local league called the meeting to order. America was sung by the audience standing, prayer was offered by Dr. J. T. Caston, pastor of the Fifth Baptist Church. Mrs. Zelle Cole-Evans rendered a vocal solo assisted by Mr. I. Gerald Tyler at the piano. Delegates were in attendance from twenty-six states, representing every activity of Negro race enterprises and thrift. The delegates began arriving Monday and at the opening of the session a delegation of out-of-town people approximately 1,000 was in the city scattered among the homes of the residents and friends of our city, who offered to them the hospitality for which St. Louis has been noted. The great feature of the meeting was an address by Emmett J. Scott, suggesting a reconstruction program for the future work of the league. President Malone's address saying among other things that it was a pleasure for him to call to order the 20th session of the National Negro Business League. Thru the National Negro Business League we have been able to become acquainted, to get close together; to be of use to our neighbors and give inspiration to others. Hon. J. C. Napier, president of the National Negro Business League in a short but very pointed speech, spoke of his gratification at listening to the words of Mr. Malone but desired to assure the members of the league, local and national that he had only done his duty. He expressed praise to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington for inaugurating the machinery of the National Negro Business League and his expression in that regard brought forth hearty applause from the delegates and visitors. He praised the work of Mr. Malone our local president and assured the St. Louis league of his gratification at the result of their successful effort. He advocated that the attention of the public be called to the importance of the league movement, and he called attention to what the white people are doing along lines of commerce and business in their various communities and that whereas it costs us perhaps 50 cents or a dollar per month the white people expend hundreds and thousands of dollars in like efforts and get such large returns and good results. They also do much to improve civic conditions all over the country. --- VOL. XXV. the Only Reliable COLOR BUSINESS LEAGUE LOUIS, MO. MARKS FOR AFFAIRS IN U. S. A. GRAM DECIDED UPON. Develop Us Greatly, Says League Elected Honorary President, ident; Hon. Emmett J. secretary. Some of the questions that President Napier asked were: "How many of you have noticed business conditions in St. Louis?" Have you noticed bank clearings? The markets? He said further that when the INTEREST OF OUR RACE MEN IS TURNED FROM SPORT TO BUSINESS then we can realize what Mr. Malone stated. Next was the report of the Secretary of the League by Hon. Emmett J. Scott, secretary. Among other things the secretary stated that the league had passed from the kindergarten stage and reached the age of maturity and it was now time for the league to go forward or to die. He called attention to the condition and radical changes taking place in this age with a view of causing the league to see the necessity of drastic action in matters pertaining to the forward movement of the affairs of the race. He from excerpts called attention to the necessity of adopting a real program which would give us push in making a forward step, without which we must because of laxity, lose our grip. He called attention to the new methods which had been advised by the president at the last meeting at Atlantic City, N. J., in 1918. The league needs larger and better financial support from its adherents, and the practice of living on the philanthropy of the white race is to be discouraged. He suggested a change of program at this meeting; a change which is to have a far-reaching effect and will be helpful for everyone in the production of visible results. He proposed as follows: 1st. National headquarters to be located at Washington, D. C. Said headquarters to be conducted along lines of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, which is the like organization of the white race compatible with the Negro Business League. He stated the following objects to be considered in the maintenance and work of the National Headquarters. 1st. National Clearing House for the Negro Business League and associated and kindred organizations and for the business interests of the race. 2nd. Duty and function to keep the white and Negro press informed and exploit and improve the interests of Negro enterprise. 3rd. Special effort to locate and produce Negro business enterprises and manufactures. Keeping local leagues in touch with the regulation. 4th. Clearing house for Negro labor and employment of all kinds skilled and unskilled. 5th. Compile a catalogue of Negro business enterprises, institute a Negro mercantile agency.

Warning at the same time against frauds swindling speculators and wild-cat schemes. Suggested the adoption of a form of inquiry on the order of a questionnaire which would be very useful in getting results. 6th. Covered the most successful method of building business interests. 7th. Dealt with the method of defraying the expenses of the league under the new systems and methods suggested. After the offer of the suggestions the secretary made mention of some statistics taken from census reports. His report was full of good information and material for the use of the league in their development to the place where some visible achievement will be accomplished in the progress of the league affairs. At 9:00 a. m., Thursday morning according to arrangements, the delegates to the National Negro Business League were taken on their visit to the Roof Garden, Railway Exchange Building, where every courtesy was accorded them. Returning to the Coliseum the morning session was held and addresses made by Hon. Mayor Kiel of the city of St. Louis; Mr. Carl Baer, representing the Chamber of Commerce, a representative from the Bureau of Publicity on the Chamber of Commerce Convention Committee and others. Mr. Napier, by vote of the League became Honorary President, Mr. Napier's address, the first evening was a fine presentation of the work of the league. He said, in part: "We simply ask for that which was promised us when we were called to do our part in driving autocracy and militarism from Europe and making the world safe for Democracy. America has contracted many debts during the war and she will pay all of them in whatever coin her creditors demand. But it does not yet appear whether she will pay the colored soldiers and the colored citizens the debt due them for their part in driving out the Hun, as promised, or in the coin which they now demand. "This league should go on record as being strongly opposed to mob violence and everlasting in favor of law and order. We have no sympa- BAPTISTS PLAN GREE EVENT FORWARD, MARCH! COMMAND OF THE U. S. A.—HISTO "MOVE UP FRONT" seems to be the order of the Baptists of the United States, or rather it is the interpretation of the last word that has been sent out by President E. P. Norfolk, Va.—(Reciprocal News Service.)—"Move up front" seems to be the order of the Baptists of the United States, or rather it is the interpretation of the last word that has been sent out by President E. P. Jones to the Baptists of the denomination, and which was received here at Baptist headquarters by Dr. C. P. Madison, the secretary of the convention. While it is admitted that the National Baptist convention, which is to convene in this city September 10-15th is not a legislative body, it is especially agreed and understood that they have by mutual consent --- thy or fellow feeling with the criminal, whether he be white or black, or whether he be the individual who attempts to outrage womanhood or the member of the mob who unlawfully arrogates to itself the right to administer punishment and take life. We constitute one-tenth of the population of this country and yet we have no voice in making the laws, by which we are governed. We are taxed, we are controlled, we are held strictly amenable to every requirement made by the law enacted by the white man and for the white man. His usages and customs according to his idea of justice and right must be observed and respected by us, whether they meet our idea of justice and right or not. His law provides that in the courts every man shall have trial by a jury of his peers. He always sits as a juror, too, in the trial of all of our cases, and yet he would under no circumstances admit that we are his peers. There is no wonder that mob violence prevails in a land where one group of citizens by law, practice or custom may, at will, withhold any right or privilege from another. The withholding a small right today will only tend to the withholding or withdrawing of a greater one tomorrow. If my neighbor's child is taught that he can wrong me, or outrage me, or Jim Crow me, or lynch me in a small way by depriving me of any right which he himself enjoys, it will be only a short step for him when he reaches manhood to join a mob and take my life. Mob law is a creation of the white man. When he sees fit, its disgrace will be wiped out from the map of our country. "It is to be regretted that the President arrogates himself the right to condemn mob violence and lynching when a white man is attacked. Of all the cruel lynchings of colored men that have taken place during his administration not one has elicited from him a single word of censure. It is high time that Mr. Wilson show himself to be President of all the people and not alone of one group." Dr. Moton has served as chairman of the Executive Committee of the League since the Chattanooga, (1917) Session, and brings to the League, an influence which joined to that of the officers assures a strong and useful organization. decided upon a plan of operation and co-operation for national uplift along all lines. In the work that is to be taken up during the five days they are to gather in this city, they are to march forward in the discharge of many denominational duties that they have outlined during the last twelve months. The first day's session of the convention will be devoted entirely to convention organization and the quota of representatives from the various states as provided in the constitution will first be ascertained, immediately after the adoption of the program. President Jones' order to move up front is literally interpreted in these parts to mean that Baptists in every state of the Union are to congregate at Norfolk and get as near front in the procession of progress as is possible with twentieth century methods. He has also sent the word down the line that a spiritual drive will be put on and that religious fervor shall predominate in every session. The Bible conference will be one of the main features and is to be conducted by well trained workers. With the coming of five thousand Negro Baptists to the Old Dominion State September 10-15th, there will be a repeating of history, or in other words, the offsprings of the Negroes who were landed within a few miles of this place in 1619 and 1620, whichever the historians agree upon, at a point called Jamestown, which was celebrated by a national exposition some time ago, will have a resetting when the great national Baptist convention with its three million constituents re-assemble here in September. There will be from every state in the Union a representative and from every particular city and community in that state there are to come messengers with a message of denominational growth and activity. Virtually upon this spot made memorable by the landing of the forefathers of one of the greatest people of the world, making the occasion coincide with the Plymouth Rock incident, a one million dollar effort is to be put on and the Old Dominion State with her representatives, it is understood, will take front rank. No attempt will be made to gather data or history, as President Jones of the national Baptist convention, says this is not hardly necessary. While past history is not to be forgotten, they are living for the present and preparing for the future, so he says. The city of Norfolk and its suburbs, with its thousands of inhabitants and its well-apopinted homes, has indicated its anxiety by the restlessness displayed in the slow passing of time and the short space between now and the coming of the great body of Baptists. CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Muse left last week for a short visit in California. Mr. Harold Stanley, an employé of the Union Pacific oil house, was thrown from his motorcycle on Sunday evening of August 10th. He sustained an injured ankle and other injuries. The accident occurred when Stanley's machine collided with the sidecar of another machine. Both machines were going about forty miles per hour when the accident occurred. Mr. and Mrs. J. C.

YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NEW YORK OPENS SCHOOL TO ALL COMERS DENVER GIRL TAKING SECRET TARY'S COURSE. TEN YOUNG colored women are attending the Y. W. C. A. training school at National headquarters, 600 Legington avenue, this summer which is a piece of information worthy of more than passing consideration, for not until this year have race representatives entered into the activities of the whole school. Comencing in 1912, and in all succeeding years until this summer, colored girls were instructed in groups to themselves, leaders of courses coming to them at headquarters. This method of instruction was not put into effect by the Young Women's Christian Association with a view to drawing the color line. Not until this summer have colored candidates possessed the experience and qualifications required of all who apply for admission to the training school. The young colored women attending these special courses are of the highest type and compare favorably with the hundreds of other students. All are graduates of some well known institution of learning. They are: Miss Caroline Bond, Miss Radcliffe, Miss Jeanete Triplet, University of Chicago, students' course, who will be special student workers with the National board; Miss Kate White, University of Denver, secretarial course; Miss Emma Sawyer, Shaw University, industrial course; Miss Frances Gunner, Howard; Miss Adelaide Sears, Wellesley; Miss May Elizabeth Phillips, Training School of Springfield, Mass., and Hampton Institute; Miss Princess Curtis Harris, Fisk; Miss Annie McCary, Howard, and Miss Pauline Sims, Howard, girls' workers course. The requisites for taking these special courses, as pointed out by Miss Eva D. Bowles, are that one must be a college graduate or the equivalent. She says there are many splendid strong young women who have the equivalent and may even make greater success than the young ambitious student, for ripe experience is regarded by the association as an asset and is needed. For a group such as this there will be given by the preliminary and extensive training system of the National board special instruction during the fall, the dates and places where courses will be given be made public later. In discussing the question for leadership Miss Bowles expressed herself as follows: "The Young Women's Christian Association is bending every effort to furnish the race with trained leaders who can measure up at any and all times. Individual development is essential in order to successfully cope with acute situations and question of self should be a secondary consideration. Those who take up the duties of a Y. W. C. A. worker are taught not to think in terms of jobs or salaries, but to regard whatever they are doing as an exalted position which affords a folden opportunity to render service. They are further taught that true leadership is not self-imposed but grows out of the position you occupy and the contribution you are making for the advancement of humanity. After all it is not a question of the individual but what the individual represents that counts in the final analysis." FOREIGN Canadian cannon, which fired the last shots at the Germans on armistice day, November 11th, were presented to the village of Mons, Belgium, with elaborate ceremonies. Seven persons were killed and thirty-four injured in a collision between an express train and a troop train in France. The express was running from Paris to Nancy and Strasbourg. Several collisions occurred between food dealers and consumers in France in the southeastern provinces and elsewhere. At Brest the dock workers seized provisions in the central markets and sold them at half prices. French pilots and observers killed and wounded during the war aggregated 60 per cent of the total flying personnel of slightly less than 13,000 men. The percentage of loss was greater than that of any other branch of the French army. Former Emperor William, who has been living at Amerongen since his arrival in Holland, has purchased the estate and house of Doorn at the village of Doorn, near Utrecht, according to the Daghail. The estate was bought from Barones de Baufort. It is about five miles north of Amerongen, in the direction of Utrecht. Germany is a broken nation, both in body and spirit, and a long time will elapse before the efficiency of her people is restored, it is declared in a report of British scientists on food conditions in Germany. The wartime semisarvation of the people is responsible for the slowness with which recovery will be effected, according to these authorities. To recover more than $3,000,000 in gold, part of the fortune of the late Oom Paul Kruger, once president of the Transvaal, which is believed to be cemented in the hold of the bark Dorothen, sunk on Tenedoes reef off the coast of Zululand, is one of the projects which may be revived as a result of improvement in the science of salvaging sunken ships. The magnificent former imperial yacht Meteor, in which the ex-kaiser used to make his annual summer cruises in northern waters, is offered for sale at the price of a half million marks ($125,000). German kaiserist newspapers are denouncing the offer, first, because they consider "the very idea" an insult to the ex-monarch, and secondly, because they regard the price as "ridiculously low." SPORT Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion pugilist, will meet Willie Meehan in an eight-round, no-decision bout in the East in November, according to a statement issued by Meehan, who said he had the promise of Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager, for the match. GENERAL Postal authorities at Winnipeg have been notified that $50,000 was stolen some might recently from the interior deposit valuels of the postoffice at Edmonton, Alta. No clew to the thieves has been found. George Peters, 55, a farmer of Arundel, Prince Georges county, Maryland, was murdered and his body set afire by an unidentified negro. Catherine Peters, his daughter, was shot through the breast and arm and taken to Washington hospital. Three members of the board of directors of the American League, constituting a majority of the board, ordered Pitcher Carl Mays reinstated at a special meeting in New York, thus nullifying the action of President Johnson in suspending him. Agents of the investigation branch at Detroit of the Department of Justice said that in one cold storage plant visited a frozen hog was found which they were told had been in storage twenty-five years. The officials declared that while they believed that if the hog really had been held for that length of time, it was through an oversight; they intend to investigate further. More than a million eggs, hundreds of thousands of tins of canned foods and 27,500 pounds of sugar were seized at Jacksonville, Fla., in a raid on wholesale food warehouses and cold storage plants by federal authorities. Charges of "extortionate profits" by Dallas retail merchants were made by P. H. Spencer, chief of the bureau of investigation of the Department of Justice, and W. B. Burrell, assistant United States district attorney at Dallas. Three children were killed in Patterson park, Baltimore, Md., when an airplane of the 88th areo squadron, stationed at Langley field, Va., crashed into a fence behind which were several hundred spectators. Seven were injured. Police are combing Detroit for three automobile bandits who in broad daylight held up William Baldwin, aged 27, collector for the Standard Oil Company, in Spruce street, and robbed him of a leather bag containing $3,000 cash, checks and oil coupons which he had collected from substations of the company. The holdup was witnessed by a number of pedestrians. District Attorney Winfred Zabel, who resigned from the Socialist party, said that his action came because he refused to be held up by the executive committee, which told him to pay $1,200 into the treasury or be expelled. Zabel said he had been paying $500 a year for seven years, but when they raised his assessment to $1,200 he balked. The Hotel Victory was destroyed by fire at Put In Bay, Ohio, at an estimated loss of $500,000. The cause was not determined. The fifty guests escaped.

Frank F. Wood, 63 years old, the oldest man in point of service running out of Denver in the railway mail service, is dead. Mr. Wood was known as the most unlucky clerk in the service so far as wrecks were concerned. His associates say he had been in more wrecks than any other railway mail clerk in the country. He entered the service in 1888, running between Leadville and Aspen. TWODOLLARSAYEAR In Baca county, which not many years ago was regarded as a worthless waste, the acreage of land in cultivation has increased more than 400 per cent in the past ten years and it now ranks about twentieth among the counties in total cultivated area. According to the report of County Assessor Charles Conroy of La Plata county, who has completed an abstract of the county agricultural report, there are 555 ranch owners with a combined acreage of 104,685 acres; 121 renters with an acreage of 20,847; tenure not specified of eighty-three with an acreage of 1,630. The average size of those reporting is 192.00 acres. Ninety-seven farmers failed to report their total acreage, but estimated on the general average given, amounts to 18,632.73, giving a total of 145,794.73 acres. We Are Responsible for All Damages to Foreigners in Mexico Since 1910 interfered diplomatically in Mexico to recover damages for any of our citizens, either for death or otherwise. In 1913, prior to the recognition of Carranza when he proclaimed himself first chief of the revolutionary forces, and when he was seekings recognition, he issued a decree known as the Calvo decree, and in that decree he pledged himself to us, because he filed it in the state department of the United States government, that immediately upon the success of his revolution he would go back to the year 1910, to the inception of the Madero revolution, and that he would, by a joint commission, ascertain all damages done to any foreigner or to his property up to the time that he founded his government substantially in the City of Mexico, no matter from what source, whether by revolution or by riot; in other words, that he would not do as they had continuously done, put in a defense that the damage had occurred by revolution. But the decree of 1915, which the president sent to the senate, as the foundation of his recognition of Carranza, repudiated the decree of 1913 and adopted the Calvo rule and we recognized him upon it; and what is the consequence today? That we are bound by every rule not only of morality but of international law to every government under the sun for every dollar of damage done to any foreigner in the Republic of Mexico from the time the revolution occurred in 1910 down to date, because the secretary of state and the president of the United States called upon France and Germany and Great Britain to yield to us in handling Mexican affairs, as was announced by the state department, and they yielded. When they yielded Carranza's decree agreeing to pay damages was in full force and effect. We handled Mexican affairs, and when we recognized Carranza we recognized him under an absolute repudiation of that decree. Have we not placed the Monroe doctrine at least in pawn to every foreign government? "World Statesmanship Will Be Sorely Tried in the Next Few Years" Undoubtedly there is a great danger in the world today. Western civilization is still dazed by the shock of four and a half years of destruction. Industry and commerce are not yet restored. All of Europe is impoverished; parts of it are starving. Its whole political fiber has been shot through. World statesmanship will be sorely tried in the next few years. Two things are essential: first an alert, intelligent, interested public opinion; and second co-operation of the nations. The former is needed both as a check on any sinister purposes that may crop up and as the great support for common action. The second is essential, unless the nations are to return to a selfish particularism which can only breed the most dangerous dispute. The peace conference has been history's greatest instance of a unified world statesmanship directing the moral and material resources of the world's family of nations. To allow the spirit behind it to disintegrate at this moment of emergency, when united action is imperative, would be fatal to all the hopes of permanent peace with which we entered the war. If it is true that one nation can destroy the equilibrium of all it is all the more true that each nation is bound by its own law of self-preservation to co-operate with the others to check troubles before they get their headway. So I come home pleased but not complacent with the outcome of the past six months and hopeful but not in the least unmindful of the problems of the next few years. World Is Forced Into New Activity for the Protection of All Children It is not too much to say that the world is being forced willy nilly to a new activity for the protection of all children—not a few, not favored children, but all children. War losses of population and of wealth force Europe. A decent self-respect would force the United States even if it were not plain that the nations which are to maintain leadership will be those which most wisely and generously equip the children of today and tomorrow. First, as to illiteracy, the United States is perhaps ninth among civilized nations; that is, Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Germany all have a larger proportion of the population who can read and write than has the United States. Second, as to maternal mortality, the United States is fourteenth in the list of civilized nations, judged by the proportion of deaths of mothers from causes incident to child-bearing. That is, in thirteen countries the mother's life is safer than it is in the United States. Third, the United States is eleventh among civilized countries, tested by its infant mortality rate, a rate whose searching value as a sign of social wellbeing is axiomatic. Considering the exemption this country enjoys from the poverty and hunger and devastation of Europe, it is not less than our reasonable service to make the United States stand first in every phase of child welfare in any list of countries. The war has left us no sectional questions. We have only the issue of a nation's welfare. C. BARRE 4.1890 By SENATOR A. B. FALL—Debate in Congress The Calvo doctrine, as acknowledged by Latin-American countries, provides significant effect: No government shall be responsible to any of its citizens occurring during a war by virtue of a riot. No citizen of a foreign country shall to collect damages against this government citizen of this country would be entitled to ages. Under the Calvo doctrine, as it was at The Hague tribunal and refused, we can dramatically in Mexico to recover damages for any or death or otherwise. Up prior to the recognition of Carranza when he chief of the revolutionary forces, and when he issued a decree known as the Calvo decree, engaged himself to us, because he filed it in the United States government, that immediately upon the he would go back to the year 1910, to the institution, and that he would, by a joint commission, none to any foreigner or to his property up to his government substantially in the City of Mexico, whether by revolution or by riot; in other do as they had continuously done, put in a deed occurred by revolution. The decree of 1915, which the president sent to him of his recognition of Carranza, repudiated the Calvo rule and we recognized him upon evidence today?

We handled Mexican affairs, and we recognized him under an absolute repudiation. Is not placed the Monroe doctrine at least in punishment? The Calvo doctrine, as acknowledged and accepted by Latin-American countries, provides simply this, in effect: No government shall be responsible for damages to any of its citizens occurring during a revolution, or by virtue of a riot. No citizen of a foreign country shall be entitled to collect damages against this government except as a citizen of this country would be entitled to collect damages.

IRVING KING TREATY OF CONSTANTINOPLE, 1841 When the Present Egypt Was Evolved. The British possession of Egypt is something into which England "just naturally drifted." The force of circumstances was stronger than treaties and diplomacy, and after the occupation of the country subsequent to the Arabi Bey incident in 1882, England found herself in the position of the man who held the bear by both paws around a tree—it was more dangerous to let go than to hold on. Yet up to the recent proclamation of a British protectorate over the land of the Nile and the setting up of a sultan independent of Turkey following the sliding of the Khedive abbas with the Germans, Egypt remained a part of the Turkish empire, a vassal state paying an annual tribute of $3,000,000 and governed nominally by a hereditary vassal prince. It was governed under the treaty of 1841, which the powers forced upon the sublime porte and its victorious rebel governor of Egypt, Mehemet Ali. By this treaty the western powers obtained their first foothold in the land of the Pharaohs. Mehemet Ali was a Turkish officer who first went to Egypt in 1799 as commander of the forces. He did so well in restoring order there that in 1805 the sultan appointed him governor. But Ali found his government constantly threatened by the famous Mamelukes, a cavalry corps of the Egyptian army consisting of the descendants of those Mingrelian, Turkish and other slaves sold by Genhil Khan to the Egyptian sultan in the thirteenth century who, uniting in revolt in 1251, made themselves masters of the country. The Turkish government overthrew the Mameluke government in 1517 and Egypt became a Turkish province. But the military caste of the Mamelukes was continued as a portion of the Egyptian army until All's time. Massacre of the Mamelukes. In 1811, seeing that it was a question of survival between the Mamelukes and himself, All settled the matter by a massacre of the Mamelukes. The citadel of Cairo was the scene of the principal slaughter; the Mamelukes were annihilated. Now absolute master of Egypt, Mehemet Ali threw off his Turkish allegiance and conquered Syria in 1831-2. In 1839 he defeated the Turks in so many engagements that it seemed as if his banners were certain to wave in the mosque of St. Sophia. The powers took alarm. That old idea which for so many centuries has prevented the Turk from being driven out of Europe—the idea that the status quo at Constantinople must not be disturbed, lest the Turk being out of Constantinople, a general war should ensue for TREATY OF SHIMONOSEKI, 1895 The western nations woke up to the fact that a great power had appeared in the East when in 1894 Japan declared war on the vast empire of China and speedily brought it to its knees. The realization that a naval and military power of the first class had come into being on the western shores of the Pacific was not a pleasant one and caused a great fluttering among the "chancelleries" of Europe and was not viewed without concern in the United States. to interfere except as a "friendly neutral," and would join no other nation even in that interference. On July 31 Japan declared war upon the Celestial empire. The militar and naval supremacy of Japan at one became startlingly apparent. A Japanese army swept through Korea, an advancing down the Liaotung pen-sula, took Port Arthur. The Chinese were driven out of southern Mar-churia. The Japanese fleet destroye the Chinese fleet and captured Wei It was because of her war with China and her subsequent war with Russia that Japan occupies the position she does today among the nations. The treaty of Shimonoseki and the treaty of Portsmouth placed her among the leading nations of the world. The war between China and Japan arose over the affairs of Korea. In the olden days Korea had paid tribute to Japan and after the abolition of the Shogunate in 1868 and the coming of the Mikado into his own, repeated demands were made upon the Koreans for a continuation of this tribute. Chinese and Japanese intrigued at the Korean court for the predominating influence in the land of the morning calm and transformed it into a land which knew no calm. Japan Allied Infraction. In June of 1894 a Chinese army was sent into Korea for the ostensible purpose of putting down a rebellion which threatened the Korean king. Japan declared this to be an infraction of the treaty between herself and China made in 1885, and dispatched a Japanese army which occupied the Korean capital and its port of Chemulpo, and fortified the route connecting the two cities. Somehow the rebellion disappeared, but the king of Korea found a Chinese army and a Japanese facing each other in hostile guise upon his territory and asked them to withdraw—which they refused to do. The king appealed to the United States. Mr. Gresham, secretary of state, asked China and Japan please to get out of Korea. China said she was perfectly willing to get out if Japan would. Japan said she would not get out until Korea had reformed her internal affairs. It was evident that Japan meant war, and on July 8, 1894, England proposed that the United States Join with her in an intervention to prevent the war. The United States refused its possession—caused them to join together for an armed intervention, and Ali was forced to give up Syria. On January 30, 1841, a treaty was concluded at Constantinople by which, in return for the relinquishment of Syria and the renewal of his allegiance to the sultan, Ali and his descendants were created hereditary rulers of Egypt. Egypt for Egyptians. In 1881 appeared an Egyptian colonel, Arabi Bey, who started the cry of "Egypt for the Egyptians." He overthrew the ministry of that year and massacres of Europeans took place in Cairo and Alexandria. He was openly encouraged by the Turkish government which, even when Arabi had flouted the authority of the Khedive and, becoming minister of war, placed himself at the head of an armed revolt which swept the country, refused to declare him a rebel. He withdrew the budgets from the French and British financial advisers and manning the old forts and constructing new ones at Alexandria, threatened the fleets of England, France and the United States. On July 10, 1882, the British admiral demanded the cessation of hostile preparations and the delivery of some of the forts into British hands within 24 hours, or he said he would open fire. Cablegrams flew back and forth between Alexandria and Europe, and the British invited the French to join with them in an intervention. The French refused and the French fleet steamed out of the harbor for Port Said. The American fleet withdrew. At 7 a. m. the British fleet opened fire. The engagement lasted until noon by which time most of the forts had been silenced. Fort Pharos fired until four o'clock. The next morning Arabi asked for a truce which was granted, and under cover of which he escaped with his army from the city. Seymour landed a force to restore order in the city, the American marines landing also. A British expedition under Sir Garnet Wolseley, was rushed to Egypt, and Arabi was crushingly defeated at the battle of Tel-el-Kebir, on September 13. Caliro surrendered the next day; Arabi was taken prisoner and exiled to Ceylon. The authority of the Khedive was restored. Upon advice of the British, he abolished the Dual Control and appointed a British financial adviser. Abbas succeeded Tewfik and an Englishman was appointed head of the Egyptian army. The treaty of 1841 was still observed until Abbas declared for Germany and fled to Austria, when a British protectorate was declared. to interfere except as a "friendly neutral," and would join no other nation, even in that interference. On July 31 Japan declared war upon the Celestial empire. The military and naval supremacy of Japan at once became startlingly apparent. A Japanese army swept through Korea, and advancing down the Liaotung peninsula, took Port Arthur. The Chinese were driven out of southern Manchuria. The Japanese fleet destroyed the Chinese fleet and captured Weihai-wei. At the beginning of the war the Chinese emperor had commanded his generals: "Go drive me these pigmies into the sea," but now a Japanese army was ready to advance on Peking. Everywhere China was utterly defeated. Negotiated Four Weeks. China thereupon authorized the American minister at Pekin to transmit direct to Japan a proposal for peace. Japan agreed to receive Li Hung Chang as peace commissioner. He landed at Shimonoseki on March 19, 1895, where he was met by the Marquis Ito, and after four weeks of negotiation the treaty was signed on April 17. The complete independence of Korea was recognized; the Liao-tung peninsula, Formosa and the Pescadores islands were ceded to Japan and China agreed to pay a war indemnity of two hundred million taels open four new ports and grant special trade privilege to the victors Korea had been occupied and organized by Japan during the war and though its complete independence had been guaranteed by the treaty, Japanese influence was now supreme there. England was disturbed. Germany displeased and Russia angry and alarmed at the treaty of Shimonoseki. A great power had suddenly appeared to threaten Russian possessions and block her aspiration on the Pacific coast. The czar threateningly demanded the retrocession to China of the Liaotung peninsula. Germany and France backed up the demand of Russia. Had Russia been alone to be considered, Japan might have thrown down the gauntlet then as she did later. But in the face of threats from three powers, she dared not refuse, and gave up the best fruits of the war—which Russia stepped in and grabbed for herself.

ADVANCEMENT OF OUR RACE WINNING RECOGNITION. FACTS are facts, and we must look them squarely in the face. When we note with pride the Twentieth Annual Session of the National Negro Business Men's League held last week in St. Louis, Mo., the initial Session of the National Negro Musical Association recently held in Chicago; the N. A. A. C. P. Convention in Cleveland, Ohio; the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Co. convention in Oklahoma, and a number of other important events of organized business bodies among our people, in spite of all the adverse circumstances, in spite of the abuses, lynchings and murders, we are esatblishing a national prestige that will be as permanent as that of any other people or race on this earth. PROUD! of course we are, when on the front page of this paper we give a full account of the Business League and its unanimous action for the adoption of measures for constructive work. BUSINESS, ART, PROFESSION, firm in their resolution to work on intelligent lines; to build on a foundation acceptable to all, and winning the recognition that will make us think progress, live progress, sleep and wake with the thing progressive on our minds, and then there will be no time for THINKING BLACK; for entertaining the idea that the Creator before our conception marked out disappointment, failure, destruction and consignment to an endless punishment for us. Keep with the times; follow our business organizations, our artists and professionals in their upward and onward movement, and we will wager by all the powers that be, if our oponents rise, we will rise with them, if they fall, we will let them fall alone. Remember, "the quality of mercy is not strained." Don't gloat over the past, as it stands ever still. Let us grasp the present opportunity. Cach a glimpse of the future. Don't bother about minor obstructions. Join the great and mighty throng for constructive work and live THE LIFE OF A MAN. REV. FRED INGLEY, ST. MARK'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, MAKES STRONG PLEA FOR NEGROES. WE HAVE always admitted that there are a few members of the white race in this country who are not disposed to allow lawlessness, mob rule, injustice and unfair dispensing of the laws of this American commonwealth to continue, and sooner or later their hearts set on fire with repugnance for the return of our nation to the barbarism and savagery of the ancients; their souls rebellious at the common proof given as the days succeed themselves, that our vaunted Christian Civilization on account of the wanton destruction of human life, the cruel deprivation of human rights, the continuous abuse of a certain element of the people, would make it a duty to their sovereign Creator, to humanity, to society, to the world at large to come out boldly, and lifting their voices with trumpet-like sounds declare for RIGHT AND JUSTICE for all the people. This paper, fearless in its championship for RIGHT, is always bringing forcibly to the mind of the better class of white citizens this fact, that if they fail to lay hold of the opportunity to suppress the wrongs that are being perpetrated by the lawlessness of their race in this country, it would only be a matter of time, and that not very far off, when possibly after an extermination of the present sufferers, the thirst for blood, the spirit of riot of the mob in its endeavor to satiate its morbid appetite would find an outlet in turning upon themselves, resulting in an internal strife bringing about disintegration among them and final destruction of their race and country. But two weeks ago, in our issue of Aug. 9, in our editorial "Better Class Whites Should Declare Publicly Against Southern Propaganda," we again offered our reminder, emphasizing the appeal to the better element of the white people to denounce this unlawful act with yen and tongue, in pulpit and pew, in state and nation, and if needs be with the sword; and the Negro true now as in the past years when he defended and helped to save the honor of the white race by the protection and the preservation of the chastity of their women from the greedy, sensuous passions of their own, would stand firmly with his back to the wall, ready to face the enemy once more. A ready response comes to this appeal; not by a communication to us privately, not by a messenger or over the telephone or some secluded agent, but in a public utterance last Sunday morning from his pulpit of the St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Twentfth and Lincoln streets, the Rev. Fred Ingley, a fitting successor to that large-hearted, broad, whole-souled man, the children's shepherd, the people's leader, the late lamented Rev. Dr. John Houghton, made this urgent appeal to the people of Denver and in turn to the nation in the following: "GIVE THE NEGRO A SQUARE DEAL; AND FORGIVE THE HUN." Continuing he said, "If we withdraw forgiveness from the Hun, our condemnation is assured. Now that justice has prevailed, as far as may be, what next? The follower of Christ can give but one answer, 'Forgive.' The wall of prejudice which causes race antagonism must also be broken. WE MUST GIVE THE NEGRO A SQUARE DEAL. Insisting on the separation of races, we must still help the Negro to develop the best that is in him." We thank the Rev. Ingley on behalf of the Negro citizens of Denver and Colorado, the many thousand readers and subscribers of The Colorado Statesman, and the 12,000,000 and more of Negroes identified with this government, this nation, speaking the English language; and we are also glad to inform this dispenser of the Christian religion that he is not alone in his appeal as there are other ministers of our city who have expressed themselves in our behalf, and even in the Southland, Bishop Gailor of Tennessee came out boldly for dealing righteously with us, also the pastor of the Euclid Baptist Church, St. Louis, these men having been convinced of the misdeeds of their white brothers and did not hesitate to express freely and fearlessly. When white men can feel the enormity of their fellow-men's unfair and unjust treatment of other human beings to such an extent as to make such appeals to the nation, we ought to express our appreciation and gratitude by giving publicity to their expressions to the farthest ends of the earth, proving that there are some men, especially among leaders who champion the cause of th old Biblical exhortation, "RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTETH A NATION." NEGRO MUSICIANS FORM NATIONAL ASSOCIATION Chicago Entertains Artists Royally. IN THE development and furtherance of his art, the Negro musician has ever been alert, active and persistent. But the master stroke in this direction was made when nearly 200 of the most talented musicians of the race, representing every section of the country, met in Chicago, July 29th to August 2nd, and formed what is to be henceforth known as "The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF NEGRO MUSICIANS." To Clarence Cameron White, one of America's most renowned violin virtuosos, must be given the credit for having set in motion the agitation which culminated in this great organization of artists. Despite the fact that Chicago, the convention city, was being shattered and torn by a raging mob of rioters, Tuesday morning, July 29th found in the auditorium of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. building, a gathering of Negro disciples of the art Euterpean, which would have done credit to the men and women of any country or clime. One of the very interesting features of the opening session was the "get acquainted meeting," in which one was given an opportunity to make a brief but rather accurate study of the personnel of the men and women who made up the association. Each of the persons present was required to stand, announce his or her name, place of residence and the line of musical activities pursued. Among the persons of note who participated in the opening sessions were Miss Alice C. Simmons, instructor of music, Tuskegee; Mr. Kemper Harrold, violinist, teacher of music, Atlanta University; Miss Adelaide Thornton, supervisor of music in public schools of Indianapolis, Ind.; Mr. Sidney Woodward, tenor, teacher of piano and voice, New York City; Miss C. Mae Brooks, supervisor of music in public schools, Wilmington, Del.; Mme. Anita Pita Brown, Coloratura, Chicago; Miss Cleota Collins, organist, teacher of music, New York City; Mr. Fred Work, pianist and teacher, Nashville, Tenn.; Mme. Bell Tyler, soprano soloist, Seattle, Washington; Mrs. Emma Collins-Payne, contralto, Kansas City, Mo.; Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, director of music, National Baptist Publishing Board, Nashville, Tenn.; Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert, Coloratura, teacher of piano and voice, Detroit, Mich.; Miss Pauline J. Lee, contralto, director of pageant, Chicago; "Deacon" Johnson, president of the "Cef Club," New York City; F. Solano Perdoma, violin teacher, Tampa, Fla., and many others, just as talented and just as renowned. The object of this association, as shown in its constitution, is (1) "To promote a closer fellowship and to strive for the economic betterment of the Negro musician;" and to stimulate racial expression. With this end in view, a "Scholarship Fund" was started, that the association might be able to give substantial aid to deserving young men and women of the race, when and wherever it can do so. It was unanimously decided that the first beneficiary fund is to be Miss Anderson, Philadelphia's marvelous contralto, who, through the efforts of Deacon Johnson, of New York City, was given an opportunity to appear before the association. While every session of the association was highly interesting, the "crowning event" however, was the "All Stars Concert," which was given in the auditorium of the "Y" Friday morning, August 1st, for the benefit of the members of the association and their friends. Never before, in all the history of our race, has so many real artists appeared on one program in a concert of any sort. Mr. T. Theodore Taylor of Chicago, who had charge of the program, stated that the affair would be somewhat impromptu, and that each person called upon would announce his or her own selections. A very noticeable thing about the program was the complete tabooing of the regulation "stage costume," each participant being clad in regular business or street attire. At the close of the concert, Mrs. Lena Douglass-Holt of Chicago, gave $50 to start the scholarship fund. This was followed by Miss Naomi Parks, daughter of Bishop Parks, who gave $25. A number of persons donated $10, $5 and lesser amounts until about $210 was raised. The next meeting of the association will be held in New York City. All persons who are interested in music are invited to join. First Land Sale. We should say the first land sale on record was the purchase of the field of Machpelah by Abram, who paid 400 shekels of silver for the field in which he buried his wife. Companionship.

BANDITS ROB AN AMERICAN CLAIMS TO HAVE LOST $12,600 ON WAY OUT OF MEXICO. FOUR OUTLAWS KILLED REPORT BROUGHT BY AIRPLANE THAT SOLDIERS KILL OUTLAWS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Laredo, Tex. Aug. 22.—Albert von Hoffman of St. Louis who arrived at the border from Vera Cruz and reported to local federal authorities that he had been held up on a train en route to Laredo and robbed of $10,000 cash and jewelry valued at $2,600. Von Hoffman, who is an American citizen, said he was returning from a visit to his coffee plantation in the state of Vera Cruz when the robbery occurred, and charged that it was committed by Carranaz soldiers. Marfa, Tex.—Four Mexican bandits have been killed by American troops in Mexico, Capt. Leonard Mattack, who arrived here by airplane, reported. They were surrounded in an adobe blockhouse that the Mexicans had constructed in a mountain pass. The bandits fought desperately when they found they were trapped, and two escaped. When the American troops approached the blockhouse with the intention of searching it for hidden bandits, the Mexicans opened fire from port holes. The fire was returned and the blockhouse charged by the American cavalry troops. Three of the four Mexicans killed has been identified as Jesus Janir, Francisco Janir and Jose Fuentes. The identity of the fourth bandit has not yet been ascertained. All four of the men are known to Captain Mattack as bandits operating along the Big Bend border for years. The two men that escaped were pursued, but the trail was lost in the mountain canons. It is known that Jesus Renteria, leader of the outlaw band that captured Lieuts, Harold G. Peterson and Paul H. Davis, American aviators, was not among the dead. Captain Mattack said he passed a column of 200 Carranza troops below the border. The Carranza commander, Mattack reported, asked where the American troops were going. When he was informed that the Americans were pursuing bandits who had held American aviators, the Carranza commander waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Washington.—Defying the administration ukase for quick and unqualified ratification of the peace treaty, the Senate foreign relations committee voted to grant "a day in court" to all the subject peoples denied a hearing at the Paris conference. Seventeen such peoples have opened headquarters in Washington to carry their protests to the United States Senate. The committee will hear the Egyptians first. Failing to get their demands for self-rule before the Paris conference, the representatives of Egyptian nationalism have come to Washington. Murders Stepfather.

Rector has re- turned from attending the Grand Lodge Session of Free and Accepted Masons, which convened in Trinidad, Colorado. He reports a harmonious session. ‘The election was as follows: William Sprague, Grand Master; Samuel N. Nelson, Deputy Grand Master; Samuel N. Duncan, Senior Grand Warden ; George W. Carse, Junior Grand War- den; James L. Williams, Grand Trens- urer; Dr. Paul E. Spratlin, Grand See- retary. The next place of meeting will be Colorado Springs, Colorado, August, 1920, After the Grand Lodge had closed, Mr, Rector went to see his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Brown, farmers near Olney Springs, Colorado, Mr. Brown is an extensive and prosperous farmer having under cultivation 320 acres of irrigated land under the great Arkansas Valley ditch. He says there are millions of dollars to be made on irrigated farms by men who do not go to sleep on their Jobs. He is engaged in general farming, rais- ing corn, wheat, barley, sugar beets, alfalfa, hay and chickens and turkeys. He uses modern ways of farming, hav- ing plenty of good heavy horses and over $3,000 worth of modern farming implements. He works mixed crews. Anyone who wishes may find all the work he can do, but he cannot sleep on the job. He pays good wages and must have good work. Any one who wishes to grow up with the country would do well to go out to the Arkansas Valley. ‘The opportunity is still waiting for the right kind of men. who have plenty of pep and the get-up-and-o spirit and who are not found sleeping at» the switeh, Mr. Rector also called on Mr. T. W. Wilson, another up-to-date prosperous farmer, near Ordway, Colorado. Mr. Wilson is considered one of the best farmers in the Arkansas Valley who has something to show that he has kept awake during the past twenty-five years he has spent in that section. He is an old Denverite and a member of Rocky Mountain Lodge No. 1, Free and Accepted Masons. He is a director of the Ordway National Bank. He begs to say to all of his old friends that he is boarding at home. He, too, has every- thing that goes to make up a first-class farm, Mr. Rector is so impressed with the farmers that next August when at- tending the Grand Lodge in Colorado Springs he is going to run down to Ol- ney and Ordway and give these two gentlemen the “once over.” OUR BOYS IN BASEBALLDOM.

First National Bank of DENVER Seventeenth at Stout Street The Public and the | Company COMMUNITY always welcomes the establishing of an institution that fills a recognized community need; unfortunately it doesn’t always manifest a lively interest in the health of such an insti- tution after it is established. It is one thing to establish industries; it is quite another thing to build up, develop and maintain them. An industry can be established by the investment of capital; its development and maintenance depend upon the attitude of the public toward the enterprise and toward the product. Likewise, the permanency of an institution depends upon the will- ingness of its customers to pay a sufficient price for its product to enable it to continue strong and healthy financially, The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company’s system of wires, furnishing the means of communication over mountains, plains and desert, is a tremendous factor in the development of the West. Telephone service is a ‘‘home product” of every community in the mountain states, and is woven into the very warp and woof of commer- cial and social life. The permanency and adequacy of telephone service depend upon the same factors as are involved in the security and per- manency of every other established industry. With very, very few exceptions the people of the West recognize these principles and pursue a ‘‘live and let live’’ policy toward all legitimate business institutions. = : va — The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph | By Company | Fj | FAgimn7 eZ?

Washington—The war cost the United States directly about $22,000.- 000,000, or nearly enough to pay the entire cost of running the American government from 1791 up to the -out- break of the European war. For every hundred American soldiers and sall- ors who served in the war with Ger- many two were killed or died of dis- ease during the period of hostilities. The number of men serving In the armed forces of the nation during the war was 4,800,000, of whom 4,000,000 served in the army. ‘These fnets are set forth in a sta- tistical summary of “The War With Germany,” compiled under the direc- tion of Col. Leonard P. Ayers, chief of the statistics branch of the general staff of the army. This summary, just published by Colonel Ayers by direction of the sec- retary of war, is a complete review of America's participation in the war against Germany condensed into less than 150 pages. It is a detailed sum- mary of American military operations, and yet the long statistical tables usually found in official reports are entirely lacking. Col, Leonard P. Ayers is the only of- fcer from civilian life who has risen to the position of chief of a division of the general staff, Before the war fe was a director of the Russell Sage Foundation. He was chief statistical officer of the peace committee. After his return here he received the dis- tinguished service medal, Some of the Figures. Some of the statistical summaries {nthe report show: ‘The war cost the United States eon- siderably more than $1,000,000 an hour for over two yenrs. America’s expenditures In the war were sufficient to have carried on the Revolutionary war continuously for more than a thousand years at the rate of expenditure which that war actually involved, During the first three months ex- penditures were at the rate of $2,000, 900 n day. During the next year they inyeraged more than $22,000.00 a day. Wor the final ten months the daily average was over $44,000,000, The total war costs of all nations were about $186,000,000,000, of whict the allies and the United States spent two-thirds and the enemy one-third. ‘The three nations spending — the greatest amounts were Germany. Great Britain and France, in that or der. After them come the United States and Austria-Hungary, with sub: stantially equal expenditures. {Phe United States spent about one eighth of the entire cost of the wat Orphaned Fawn Adopts Man as Its Guardian Williamsport, Pa. — George Hummel, a resident of Liberty, while fishing at the head of Gray's run, heard a fawn bleat- ing In the woods up the moun- tain side, and upon investiga- tion came upon a strange sight. On the ground lay a dead doe with a dead fawn by her side, while a live fawn stood guard nearby. ‘The live animal had worn a path where it had trot- ted around the body of the moth- er. There were no bullet holes in the carcass. Mr, Hummel had some cookies in his pocket which he fed to the litde fawn, and the animal followed him home, apparently content that it had found a friend. Mr. Hum- mel reported the case to a game protector and is caring for the fawn, jand something less than one-fifth of the expenditures of the allied side. ‘The total battle deaths of all na- tions In this war were greater than all deaths in all the wars in the previous hundred years. Russian battle deaths were 34 times as heavy as those of the United States, those of Germany 32 times as great, France 28 times and the Brit- Ish 18 times as large. Infantry Suffered Most. Jn the American army the casualty rate In the infantry was higher than in any other service, and that for offi- cers was higher than for men. For every man killed in battle seven were wounded. Five out of every six men sent to hospitals on account of wounds were cured and returned to duty. Pneumonia killed more soldiers than were killed in battle. Meningitis was the next most serlous disease. ‘The British sent more men_ to France in thetr first year of war than we did in our first year, but it took England three years to reach strength of 2,000,000 men in France, and the United States accomplished it In one-half of that time. In the physical examinations the states of the middle West made the best showing, Country boys did better than city boys, white better than col- ored and native better than foreign ‘born. Most of the troops who sailed for ‘France left New York. Half of them landed in England and the other half In France. Of every 100 Americans who went over, 49 went in British ships, 45 in American ships, three in Italian, two it French and one in Russinn ship- ping under English control. American cargo ships averaged one complete trip every 70 days and troop ships one complete trip every 35 days. ‘The cargo fleet was almost entirely American, It-reached the size of 2 600,000 deadweight tons, and carried to Europe about 7,500,000 tons of cargo. Work of Engineers. American engineers built in France 83 new ship berths, 1,000 miles of standard gauge track and 538 miles of narrow gauge track. ‘The signal corps strung in France 100,000 miles of telephone and tele- graph wire. Prior to the armistice 40.000 trucks were shipped to the forces in France. Construction projects in the United States cost twice as much as the Pana- ma canal, and construction overseas was on nearly twice as large a scale. ‘The entire number of American ma- chine guns produced to the end of 1918 was 227,000. ‘The Browning machine guns are be- lieved to be more effective than the corresponding weapons used in any other army. American production of rifle ammu- nition amounted to approximately 3, 500,000,000 rounds, of which 1,500,000, 000 rounds were shipped overseas. The number of rounds of complete artillery ammunition produced — ir American plants was in excess of 20, 000,000, compared with 9,000,00¢ rounds secured from the French anc British. In the first 20 months after the dec laration of war by each country the British did better than the Unitec States In the production of light artil lery, and the United States excelle( them in producing heavy artillery an¢ both light and heavy ammunition, At the end of the war American pro duction of smokeless powder was 4% per cent greater than the French anc British production combined. ‘The American, production of high explo sives was 40 per cent greater thar Great Britain's and nearly double tha: of France.

More than 5,- 000 pilots and observers were sent overseas, There were produced in the United States to November 30, 1918, more than §,000 training planes and more then 16,000 training engines. ‘The American alr force at the front grew from three squadrons in April to 45 In November, 1918. On November 11 the 45 squadrons had an equipment of 740 planes. Of 2,698 planes sent to the zone of the advance for American aviators, 667, or nearly one-fourth, were of American production. American air squadrons brought down in combat 755 enemy planes, while thelr own losses of plines num- bered only 357. American divisions were In battle for 200 days and engaged in 13 major operations. From the middle of August until the end of the war the American divisions held during the greater part of the time a front longer than that held by the British. In October the Ameriéan divisions held 101 miles of line, or 23 per cent of the entire western front. In the battle of St. Mihtel 550,000 Americans were engaged, compared With about 100,000 on the northern side In the battle of Gettysburg. ‘The artillery fired more than 1,000,000 shells in four hours, which is the most intense concentration of artillery fire recorded in history. ‘The Meuse-Argonne battle lasted for AT days, during which 1,200,000 Ameri- [can troops were engaged. WRESTLING PARSON IN ARMY Soldiers Thrown by Chaplain Currie of Second Division Promise to Go to Church. With the American Forces in Ger- many.—Chaplain E. 9. Currie of the Second division has become known among the American forees on the Rhine as “the wrestling parson” in his go-to-church campaign, which he inaugurated recently among the sol- diers. Chaplain Currie has been putting on an exhibition in Leutesdorf every night the last few weeks, and each man he throws promises to Induce five other soldiers to accompany him to church the Sunday following the wrestling match. ‘The contests have been held in the Leutesdorf plzyhouse. Chaplain Cur- rie has been taking on different men ‘from the Third battalion of the Sixth marines each night. Reports to the chaplain's office of the Second dl- vision say that Chaplain Currie has been winning about 75 per cent of ee matches. VERMIN OLD PEST OF ARMIES Reference to Them Found in Writings of the Romans, and in English Literature. ‘The newspapers have had much to say abont the “delousing” of the re- turning troops, Philip Hale writes In the Boston Herald. The word ts not 8 pretty one and It ts not to be found in the dictionaries, but the war has brought with It many new words, some of which will disappear, some of which will soon be regarded as orthodox and of good and regular standing, No soldier need be ashamed of nec- essary submission to the process. It may console him to recall the case of Thomas Otway. an Oxford man, the author of “Venice Preserved" and “The Orphan." As a cornet in a regi- ment of horse, he Joined in 1678 the army under Monmouth in Flanders. It was reported that he came back from Flanders “mangy and covered with vermin.” Rochester taunted him with this in his “Session of the Poets.” It should also be remembered that when the troops were disbanded and recalled, the money voted by the com- mons for their payment was mlsap- propriated. The soldiers were paid only by debentures, and the credit of these was so low that they were hard- ly salable. It was observed In the sixteenth cen- tury that “lice cometh also of that cloth that Is trained In the wool with the fat or grease of a horse or of a swine, and therefore the northern cloths worn of a sweating body do breed lice in 12 hours.” ‘The “humor” of an individual had much to do with the character of the pest Lice gen- dered of sanguine humor were red and great; of phlegmatic, white; of choler- ic, yellow, long, swift and sharp; of melancholic, ashen colored, lean and slow In moving. Anyone of these pests “grieveth more In the skin with the feet and with creeping, than he doth with bitin, . . . And the leaner that a louse 1s, the sharper she biteth and grieveth.” ‘There were many ap- ‘proved remedies even in the elder ‘Pliny’s time, thus: “The old skin or ‘slough that snakes do cust off In the spring, whosoever drinketh In his or- dinary drink, {t will kill all the ver- min of the body within three days.” Story of a Dog. “Marathon races in the woods will never become universal for the reason that speed and stamina like that of Buell Crannell’s dog are not universal in the four-footed hunters,” says War- wick S. Carpenter, secretary of the conservation commission, “Mr. Cran- nell lives at West Glens Falls, and while hunting near there recently his dog picked up a fox track. The dog was picked up next day near Cran- berry lake, more than seventy miles away. “Accounts do not state whether the dog was still going strong or whether he might have taken the fox back to Mr. Crannell, but simply that {dentifi- cation of the dog was made by the conservation commission license tag and that Mr. Crannell went after the dog. “The moral of all this {s that if one owns a dog good enough to run a fox through two counties she should sure- ly be protected by an !dentification disk."—New York Times. Salutes. Some clever Englishman, comment- ing on French politeness, once remark- ed that when a Frenchman bows, two- thirds of the bow is to himself. That may be true, and we have to admit that even the other third fs quite a fraction more than most Anglo-Saxons offer. Saluting Is the same proposition. A snappy salute pulled by a buck to the most second of second ieutenants draws heavy Interest; and the colonel who Jerks his hand a few centimeters from his still affixed cigar is only in- sulting him#elf and the army. It some privates were a little more polite to themselves, the saluting trap never would be sprung and the joke would all be on the other side of the military fence.—Siars and Stripes.

During the escape he asserts they planned to be married, but decided to delay the ceremony until they saved some money. This decision made, Swarthe claims he loaned Miss Barish $1,700 and she began her studies at Simmons college. He called on her at intervals, but at length noted that her attitude toward hha was different from what it had been during the dismal Journey across the Atlantic. He asserts that she became enamored of another man. Finally, he says, in the presence of the third member of this eternal tri- angle, she told him that she loved the other man, and that the engagement between herself and Swarthe was broken. “cs uf Seattle Woman “Hoboes”’ to New York on a Wager N EW YORK.—Mrs, J.

I don’t think there is any make of automobile that I have not had a ride in. I rode in hay wagons, in limou- sines, in flivvers, trucks, milk wagons, one-horse shays, and motorcycles. And every blessed ‘lift’ I had was accepted after the second invitation. “In places where a dear, motherly soul would refuse payment for e night's lodging, I paid my way by chopping wood or washing dishes or milking cows, or doing any odd chores about the house.” Mrs. Franklin’s khaki uniform of breeches, blouse, and jacket and her high tan boots show the strain of the journey considerably more than she does. She is twenty-eight years old and wears her hair bobbed. “I couldn't bother fussing with it,” she explained. “All I carried was my 18-pound camping out- fit and a change of linen.” Goose That Laid the Golden Egg Outclassed Here L A CROSSE, WIS.—Here is the egg-laying record of a three-year-old White Rock hen owned by Gus Rhodes, a farmer near West Salem, On May 8 she laid four eggs; May 4, three; May 5, four; May 6, five; May 7, six; May fused to lay any other place. She would wait for Mr. Rhodes to come home nd unlock the barn at noon so she,could sneak into her chosen refuge anc carry on her magic unmolested. When her wonderful performances were reported neighbors were skeptical and when the reports were carried to expert poultrymen in distant cities they, too, refused to believe them, so J. H Benson of LaCrosse was appointed to go to the Rhodes farm and make obser. He remained two days and watched the hen closely. On the second day he saw her with his own eyes lay thirteen eggs in four hours out of a total of sixteen laid by her during the day. He went before the county judge and made affidavit to the fact and it is on record for any doubting Thomas to see. Mr. Rhodes also made affidavit that he watched the hen while she laid three or four eggs at a sitting. ‘The eggs laid by this hen are not freak eggs in any way. A number of them were set and found fertile. If the progeny of this hen should run true to type they will put the egg trust out of business in a few years.

They managed very well in this same matter during the war, when evening dress was taboo, and now Karls has denied the cards so that the game becomes easy. There is a vogue for bare arms, or very abbreviated sleeves, on French gowns, that is reflected here in short sleeves made of the sheerest fabrics that merely vell the arms. It doesn't take much maneuvering on the part of a clever woman to place an afternoon frock of this kind in the class of evening gowns. The addition of the right accessory—the removal of a gulpe, the arrangement of the coifure—and the trick is turned. An alluring frock for afternoon has been presented by a famous Fifth avenue house and is shown at the right of the picture above. It is made RidingHabitsTri © Western Newspaper Union The time has come to frankly glory in perfect health and vigor, for the up-to-date girl cannot be a good sportswoman without them. And the healthy woman who is fond of sports is an agreeable person to have about. She has interests that will keep her young, charms that will last and activities that will prevent her from getting disastrously fat. Costumers see to it that she is clad becomingly for whatever sports she elects to follow, and they have made the riding habit, of all sports clothes, the trimmest and the most flattering. There are some special habits for summer wear that are worn by enthusiastic horsewomen who are devoted to this sport all the year round. They are made of heavy cotton basket weaves and whipcords, and are patterned after the habits of wool. White china silk blouses are worn with them and top boots in black or brown leather. A very chic outfit is made up of cotton whipcord breeches, china silk blouse and sleeveless coat of black or dark blue serge. The combination looks as crisp and cool as snow. of cream-colored net and embroidered in little beads in pale rose color. The skirt is very cleverly draped and there is a flat ribbon girdle about the waistline. One can imagine it with a more brilliant girdle, evening slippers and a high collar, more than holding its own when compared with regulation evening gowns. Net and wide lace make the simpler frock at the left, with four straight panels of plaited net set in the overdress. It is worn over a satin slip and has a satin girdle. The bodice is very full, cut low at the front, and worn with a dainty vestee of narrow lace and net. The very plain sleeves are a little longer than elbow length but can be gathered up in small plaits and shortened for evening. This, and a girdle of bright ribbon, fastened with one of the big rhinstone buckles will place this frock in the evening class. Or a broocaded girdle or one of cloth of silver will accomplish this matter im and Flattering One of the smart new habits of covert cloth is shown above. It is the offering of an experienced and enthusiastic designer, and is an example of beautiful tailoring in the best of cloths. The breeches are re-enforced with inserts of leather at the knee, the coat has a little less flare below the waistline than last year's models, and is more straight-hanging. This makes an opportunity for a belt of the cloth. It fastens with a button and button-hole at the front, and the coat also buttons at the waistline, leaving more of the blouse and tie visible than is usual. Puttees, over trim brown walking shoes, are a left-over wartime style which young women are loath to part with, and a pretty, three-cornered hat, with square crown and rolling brim, is so convincingly becoming that it puts the good taste of this outfit above question. question. Julia Bottomley A failure is but the slipping of a wheel. Give it sand, and go on. Sunk in the Pacific By R. RAY BAKER If Inza Richardson had been less quick tempered she would have missed being the heroine of a story that starts in San Francisco and ends in the South Pacific. She regretted it five minutes after she uttered the words that sent Arthur Westridge away from her home, and she would have called after him and pleaded with him to return if he had not walked so swiftly down the street and if she had been able to thrust her pride into the background. While she hesitated he disappeared from view. "He'll never come back," she told herself, and she went to her room and shut herself in. When a friend called the next morning to take her motoring Inza had a severe headache and could not see her. It all started over nonning—nothing when the results were considered. Arthur was kept busy late one evening at the office of the Trans-Pacific ship office where he worked, and was half an hour behind time when he called to take Inza to the theater. That was bad enough, Inza thought, but when it developed that he had failed to get tickets and she had to wait in the foyer while he stood in line before the box office, she felt that the limit had been reached. When he had bought the tickets she made him tear them up and take her straight home, where a warm verbal battle, in which he took no part, occurred. It terminated when she took the engagement ring from her finger and handed it to him with the words: "Don't ever show up here again. The idea of humiliating me as you did this evening! It shows how much you care for me. Good by." Arthur went, because he had a temper of his own and was afraid he would unleash it if he remained. He felt she was unreasonable, because he had told her he was detained by business, but he complied with her wishes, or what she stated to be her wishes, and left her. A week passed and Inza heard nothing from Arthur. By this time she was worrying. Her love for him could not be questioned, but there was her pride to consider. When that week terminated, however, with silence on the part of her erstwhile fiance, she crushed her pride ruthlessly under her heel and called up the office where he worked. It took a lot of bravery for her to ask for that number, but she did it. "Mr. Westridge is not employed here any more," she was told over the wire. "He resigned his office position a week ago and took a berth as a sailor on the stenner John Richard, which started the next day for Australia." Inza was agasthet at this intelligence. "Why," she faltered, "why did he do that?" She knew very well why he did it, because she knew Arthur. However, she listened to the reply: "Said he was tired of being cooped up in an office, and wanted to get out in the air and see some real life and some foreign country." Then a real cloud of despair settled over the Richardson residence. Inza lost her usually healthy appetite, and although she had no flesh to spare she became as "thin as a fence rail," as her father put it. She held no one to blame but herself, but that did not assuage the pain in her heart. Inza watched the mail carrier every day from the time he came into sight around the corner until he either passed the Richardson home or mounted the porch; and he never found it necessary to use the mail box. Inza received what he had to offer, and always there was a feeling of deep disappointment gripping her when she entered the house. The big crash came a month later, the crash that crumbled her spirit and sent her over the very brink of hope into the chasm through which flowed the river of sorrow. It was a headline that stared up at her from a newspaper: "Steamer Richard Sinks in Storm; All Aboard Lost." It happened in the south seas, so the story went. The British steamer Thurston answered the Richard's wireless S. O. S., and arrived on the scene just in time to see the distressed vessel go beneath the waves. That part of the ocean was searched as diligently as possible with the storm in progress, but not a survivor could be found. Inza broke down completely and the doctor warned that severe illness was ahead for her unless she experienced a radical change. Her father offered to finance a voyage to Europe, but she said she cared nothing for a visit on that continent. "Make it Australia, and I'll go," she said; and Mr. Richardson consented to this, proposing that her mother should accompany her. Inza demurred. "I want to go alone," she contended, and her father, after a few moments of silent debate with himself, said he would agree even to that, if only it would improve her health. However, he succeeded in arranging with another passenger on the same sail to keep Inza under close watch without her knowledge. Fair weather was enjoyed until the Hawaiian islands were reached. Shortly after traversing that part of the sea the steamer encountered a severe storm, which grew more violent as the days passed. The ship was tossed on giant waves and even the veteran ocean travelers were indisposed. Finally a warning was issued by the officers for every passenger to keep a life preserver on, awake or asleep. The precaution was well founded, for that very night the big ship was driven off her course and in the darkness hurled itself on a rock. She clung to the obstruction for two hours, which gave ample time for the lifeboats to be launched. The sea was running so high, however, that many of these were swamped before they could get any distance from the wrecked vessel. Finally the steamer slipped from the rock, the sea poured into the hold through the hole that had been made, and one more craft joined the armada of sunken hulks on the bottom of the South Pacific. Just how she got there Inza never knew, but she came out of a long period of unconsciousness to find herself lying high on a beach, whence she evidently had been cast by the waves. She was bedraggled and cold, her clothes having been drenched by the brine, while the life preserver about her was an oppressive weight. Nearby was a lifeboat, overturned, also high and dry on the shore. Inza scanned the sea, which was almost calm. The sun was high in the heavens and the sky was clear. Looking back toward some low hills, her eyes caught a black speck which appeared to be moving. While she watched it grew larger and finally developed into the shape of a man. But such a man! His hair fell in a tangled mass over his shoulders and his beard was long and kinky, while his clothing was in tatters. "Don't run away; I'm harmless. Let me welcome you to Crussoe island. I named it myself. How do you like it?" He came closer, and suddenly as he looked at her his eyes took a peculiar glitter. Wonder and astonishment shone from them, and he muttered incoherently. She stood, held powerless by his gaze, until he was almost upon her. Then: "Inza!" he cried. "It can't—no, it can't be." The voice sounded familiar. She scrutinized his face and slowly it took on some aspects that made him seem less like a stranger. A piercing blast shook the island, and a steamer rounded the shore a short distance out. But just then Inza and Arthur were too busily occupied with each other to notice that rescue was close at hand. VARIETY IN LIFE AT OMSK Siberian City, However, Holds Out Little Inducement to the Timid, Pleasure-Seeking Traveler. Omsk is a little city, or a big town—whichever you like—in Siberia. The buildings of Omsk keep close to the ground. The home of the settler is a one-story log affair. The public buildings and shops are ornate with pillars and carvings, but their grandeur extends upward little farther than the log hut, of which they are an elaboration. Omsk has more than its share of lawbreaking and crime. The number of persons who die inopportunity there is large enough to inspire more caution than bravado in one enjoying a nighttime walk through the lanes which pass for streets. There is a jail in this rustic metropolis, but its inmates are, as a rule, only the most recent malefactors, who have been so careless as to be apprehended by the wooden-shoed policemen who rattle about the streets at night to assure the city that the law is not sleeping. The majority of those who have resorted to violence or stealth to gain their ends are always at large. Knowledge of this is not reassuring, but it adds to the stimulating atmosphere of the Siberian life to wonder whether the queer-looking shop clerk or waiter who serves you is a pillar of the church or the man who mysteriously made away with a fur trader the week before.—"Niksah," in Chicago Daily News. All Enjoyed the Toapco. The first tobacco and pipes which found their way to England were presented to Sir Walter Raleigh by Ralph Lane and Sir Francis Drake.

He found these good fellows all there, as he knew he should, merrily swapping yarns and slipping ale, and forthwith distributed the pipes among them and initiated them into the mysteries of smoking. He was rewarded by having "Rare Ben" give him a toast in which tobacco was declared to be "the most soothing, sovereign, precious weed that ever our dear old mother earth tended to the use of man."

Deciding that he was tired of being scolded, Freddie informed his mother that he was going to run away. As this his mother began to pack a suit case for him.
