LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Cause Of The Disturbance In Arkansas STATEMENT BY WALTER F. WHITE, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE, WHO INVESTIGATED THE RACE DISTURBANCES IN ARK. VOL. XXVI. Cause Of Distur In A STATEMENT BY WALTER F. TARY OF THE NATIONAL ADVANCEMENT OF COL VESTIGATED THE RACE THE cause of the disturbance in Arkansas was systematic robery of Negro tenant farmers and share croppers. For years Negroes have been working the farms of white owners on shares and when the time came for a settlement, owners have refused to give them itemized statements of their accounts. Negro tenant farmers and share croppers must buy their supplies during the year from the plantation store or some designated store. The system kept the Negro continually in debt and it is an unwritten law in Arkansas as in many parts of the South that the Negro may not leave the plantation until the debt is paid. "The Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America" was formed by Negro share croppers and the dues paid were to go into a common fund to employ a lawyer. The lawyer was to make a test case in court of one tenant farmer's inability to obtain an itemized statement of his account. On October 6 tenant farmers on twenty-one plantations were to ask the owners for a settlement. It appears that, failing a settlement, the Negroes were going to refuse to pick the cotton then in the field or to sell cotton belonging to them for less than the market price. Trouble, however, was precipitated when W. A. Adkins, a special agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad; Charles Pratt, a deputy sheriff, and a Negro "trusty" were fired upon, so it is claimed, by Negroes in a church at Hoop Spur. Adkins was killed and Pratt severely wounded. A statement of one of the persons in the church at the time, however, shows that Adkins and Pratt fired into the church without provocation and that their fire was returned with the above mentioned results. That precipitated the trouble. One case which will show the economic exploitation is that of a Negro on the plantation of R. B. McCombs, a white man in Ashley county, Arkansas. The Negro's crop was worth $3,322.76, the Negro's share being $1,661.38. McCombs paid the Negro $326 and refused to pay him any more, declaring that the Negro had taken up the balance in goods. The Negro brought suit but failed to obtain a judgment, the jury being white, as is always the case in that part of the country. Another Negro coming from the State Labor Commissioner's office declared that he had worked 27 acres on shares and that the total value of his crop at present prices was $1,506. The owner of the land had taken all of the crop, had refused a settlement and the Negro had walked 122 miles to Little Rock hoping to get a lawyer, being absolutely penniless. Many similar cases could be cited and it was a determination to protest these conditions that led to the formation of the organization which is claimed by the whites to have "planned a massacre." So far as I was able to discover, after a careful investigation on the ground, there is no basis for belief that a massacre was planned by Negroes, and, in point of fact, it was the Negroes who were massacred. Negroes outnumber whites 6 to 1 in Phillips county and if a massacre had been planned the casualty lists would not have been 25 Negroes as against 5 whites. Many white people expressed doubts of the truth of the "massacre" stories sent out. It appears that the purpose of these stories was to cloak the robery of Negroes by white landlords and agents. Prices charged by landlords' and plantation stores as compared with those in the open market: Bacon (cheapest grade, known as sow belly), plantation, 50c lb.; open market, 20c. Mary Jane molasses, plantation, $2 gallon; open market, $1.10. Compound lard, plantation, 56c lb.; open market, 28c. Sack of flour, 24lb., plantation, $2.50; open market, $1.25. In one case a Negro was charged $50 for two second-hand plows which cost when new $16 each. In another case a set of rope plow lines which cost 25 cents each were sold for $3.50 to the Negro. In another case a Negro was charged $58 for a tow sack and four bushels of cotton seed, the value of which was $4. In another case a Negro was charged $52.60 express for moving of nine pieces of furniture 100 miles by freight. The actual cost could not have been over $5. There have been numerous lynchings in the past when Negroes have attempted to obtain settlements from landlords and the farmers' organization was a combine for the purpose of protesting against such outrageous conditions as these. WHITE WOMAN ADMITS SHE WAS NOT ASSAULTED. New York, Oct. 8.—The District of Columbia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has issued a statement in which it declares that the story of an assault on a white woman living in Central Heights, Md., alleged to have occurred while the race riots were going on in July, was a fabrication. Maj. R. W. Pullman, superintendent of police, is quoted by the association as its authority. This makes the second case this summer in Washington in which the story of an assault has been given wide publication, only to have it covered later that there was no assault at all. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1919 State Hist. & Nat Hist Nov State House ble People's Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S Colored Women Proved Ability for Leadership New York, October 19th.—In reporting the work of the Colored Work Committee at the final meeting of the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association, held recently at National Headquarters, 600 Lexington avenue, Miss Eva Bowles was heartily applauded when she declared that the war gave opportunity for colored women to prove her ability for leadership, and that she had her chance and made good, and that the time has passed for white leadership for colored people. Miss Bowles, during her report said: "As we report our achievements we find ourselves facing the future that will test all of our powers and conserve the work already launched, and the problem of promotion is our immediate task. All the problems that faced any girl in war times were ours, together with the more serious problems of race relationship and understanding. "We have ministered to our problem from three outstanding ends; (1) The immediate one of the hostess houses in camps which was so acute and the most picturesque of wartime activities; (2) the colored girl as she entered the industrial field; (3) in communities affected by camps and cantonments where abnormal conditions affected the life of the girl, here were organized club and recreation centers. "To-day this committee with the other committees of the National Board, is facing the great problem of reconstruction. The giant task that lies ahead now that the world has been saved for democracy is to make democracy safe. The colored women leaders stand ready to do their part. The war has given opportunity for the colored woman to prove her ability for leadership; she had the chance and she made good. "With all the strength of having suffered she will be able through the patience born of suffering to lead the women and girls whom only she can lead. The time has passed for white leadership for colored people. As white and colored women we must understand each other; we must think and act, plan together, for upon all of us rests the responsibility of the girlhood of all nations." NEGRO CLUB WORK BRINGS GRATIFY- ING RESULTS The county and home demonstration work in the South among Negroes is done in almost all instances by members of their own race who have been trained by the white extension workers. The same types of club work are done by the Negroes as are done by the white club members. The results have been gratifying in every locality, according to the United States Department of Agriculture and the state agricultural colleges which cooperate in the work. A Negro agent in Pulaski (county), Arkansas, tells of some of the results of her work as follows: "Mr. Jim White was induced, through the influence of the agent, to remodel his home, adding a new screen porch, which includes the well. This makes it very convenient for the house wife. The house has been painted recently. A sanitary outhouse has been built and the garden enlarged and well fenced. This was done last year. "Mrs. White, his wife, became very deeply interested in poultry and from the sale of chickens and eggs she realized $125. She used the money for furnishing a living room in her home. The walls were papered, three nice rugs had been put on the floor, and a set of mission furniture was very neatly arranged in one room. "When I visited this room in 1917 I found in it none of the things mentioned above and the contrast was quite striking. These improvements were directed outgrowth of the home demonstration work through the poultry club, according to Mrs. White. "Mrs. M. Robbins, living near Mr. Zion church, has sold all of her scrub poultry and has a fine lot of White Wyandottes instead. She won the first prize at the county fair last year and is very hopeful of her future success with that breed of chickens. "The club girls at St. John's community have commenced their annual 'clean up' campaign, to the end that they have white-washed several homes and surrounding outhouses on their home grounds. The president of the club is very active. The garden club members all purchased their seed together and each member planted seed on the same date." TRAIN REFUSES COLORED PASSENGERS Houston, Tex., Oct. 15.—What looks like a solemn warning against race prejudice which would place color before humanity even in the face of a common danger is furnished by a tragic happening which took place at flood-swept Galveston last week. Whether this be so or not, it is certainly one case in which apparently from race point of view prejudice provide providential. That your readers may understand the situation, it is well to state that Galveston, which is located on an island a mile and a half from the mainland, from which it is separated by the waters of Galveston bay, has been almost totally destroyed twice by storms and floods, once in 1900 and again in 1915. Naturally, then, when storm signals are raised over the customs house, there is always anxiety about the safety of the people on the island, and preparations are begun to take the inhabitants from the danger zone to Houston, which is fifty miles distant, and adjacent territory. That was the case last week. When the news was heralded that a storm was sweeping up from Yucatan bringing death and destruction to Brownsville and Corpus Christi and was headed for Galveston, relief trains were immediately assembled to convey the endangered residents of Galveston to Houston over the interurban. Despite the fact that the colored population of Galveston number one-third of the whole, the interurban trains refused to allow any colored passengers to board any of the first trains out of the threatened city. The rule was white people first. When the first rescue train loaded only with whites, had reached a point half a mile distant from Galveston, the storm swept it from the causeway into the angry waters of Galveston bay and hundreds perished. It was a most distressing tragedy which brought sorrow to hundreds of homes. It strikes your correspondent as being a significant occurrence which should teach a solemn lesson to those who would discriminate against any class of citizens in a time of common danger. It may be only an unexplainable coincidence, but it makes one think. An Old Race War Warning THE atrocious occurrence at Omaha, following soon after like infamilies at Knoxville, at Washington, at Chiengo and elsewhere, and threatening in turn to be followed by others in heaven only knows what other communities, arouses much academic and some practical speculation as to the causes of such bitter racial animosity and such disregard of law and justice. It may be that there are various causes, that there is a special cause in each place for each outbreak. Yet we cannot dismiss the belief that there are some general causes, inherent in our social system and inseparable from it as at present organized. It would be preposterous to pretend that the element of racial discrimination did not enter into these cases. Of course, no detestation can be too intense for some of the crimes which provoke these outbreaks, and no legal punishment could be too severe for them. But it is undeniable that when committed by Negroes they are regarded as far more grave than when precisely the same crimes are committed by white men, and that there is immeasurably less willingness to let the law take its course in the former than in the latter cases. It is simply inconceivable that what happened at Omaha the other day would have happened if the criminal or suspect had been a white man. One of the causes of this racial discrimination was clearly foreseen more than a century and a third ago, by practical minded statesmen. The New York legislature then passed a bill for the abolition of slavery, but also providing that no person of even part Negro blood should ever be permitted to vote. The board of revision, which then exercised the veto power, disapproved the measure, not because it would emancipate, but because it would disfranchise the Negroes and thus create discrimination between two classes of citizens. It would be repugnant to principles of liberty and equality, said the board, to charge with the burdens of government those who have no representative share in imposing them. Then, still more to the present point, the veto message went on to say that "This class of disfranchised and discontented citizens at some future period may, under the direction of ambitious and factional leaders, become dangerous to the state and effect the DEFENDING THE SHAME OF SHANTUNG. Bishop John H. McKim of Tokyo, during the discussion of mission needs abroad at the triennial general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, defending the Shantung decision, declared: "Japan has always kept her word. I wish I could always say the same for the United States government." If residence abroad makes an American ecclesiastical functionary a defender of any offense against justice committed by the country to which he is assigned, and a defamer of his own nation withal, then the wisdom of the polity of assigning such clerical officials to permanent posts in foreign lands may seriously be questioned. Japan entered Korea to attack Russia during the Russian-Japanese war with a written agreement to respect NO 1. ruin of a constitution whose benefits they are not permitted to enjoy. . . . The creation of an order of citizens who are to have no legislative or representative share in the government necessarily lays the foundation of an aristocracy of the most dangerous and malignant kind." Now, it is true that in no state of the Union are persons of Negro blood per se denied the franchise. But it is indisputable that in many states they are practically denied it, and that in most if not all the states there is under either written or unwritten law discrimination against them; and to such discrimination the criticisms of those New York statesmen of 1785 apply as aptly as they did to the objectionable provision of the bill which was then vetoed. The general treatment of Negroes throughout the United States creates a class suffering from adverse discrimination, if not entirely a disfranchised, certainly a discontented, class. We do not think that their discontent and resentment at such discrimination are so intense as to provoke them to the initiative in racial conflicts. In most if not all cases, the whites have been the aggressors. But those feelings are sufficiently strong to cause Negroes to meet aggression of any kidd with equally and perhaps more savage aggression. Moreover, the exercise of such discrimination against them has a subjective effect upon those who do it, moving them to inflict upon the objects of it physical as well as social and moral evils. It is probable that resentment at such discrimination incites many Negroes to the commission of atrocious crimes against whites, and particularly against white women. It is certain that it is because of that discrimination that the horrors of lynching are so often visited upon Negroes, just as much in cases where the full penalty of the law is certain to be imposed as where there is danger that it will not be. That the feeling of racial discrimination, so long existent and now radically instinctive, can easily be overcome, or indeed that it will ever be effectively overcome, may be too much to expect. That it will, so long as it prevails, be a frequent cause of animosity and actual conflict is unhappily very much to be feared.—Harvey's Weekly. and maintain the independence of Korea. Despite that pledge the sovereignty of Korea was overthrown, her rulers removed, her queen burned at the stake, thousands of revolutionists have been murdered, even within the past few months, and a more ruthless policy of suppression and extermination has been adopted than was ever before forced upon a conquered nation in all the history of the world. Think of an American churchman defending such a record as this, and comparing his own country's history unfavorably with it! A characteristic incident occurred in connection with this episode. When these statements were challenged, Dr. Roswell Page of Virginia, a brother of former Ambassador Page and a strong administration supporter, deprecated the discussion of such "political matters" while President Wilson was ill!

The composition of the membership augurs well for a good start, as among them are men of the legal and medical professions, business men, home owners and other leading citizens—some having the advantage of being classed as pioneers, arriving at a time when they grew up with the advancement of the city and state. But the organization is not confined to Denver, as it hopes to extend to various parts of the state, and in its propaganda to be of most service to humanity, to co-operate with other associations in aiding the government to run on successful lines, and endeavor to accomplish the most and best for the general uplift of communities. There seems to be every assurance that an awakening of the spirit of service for the betterment of conditions around and about us has dawned, and sooner or later the influence for good will be experienced by us and our posterity. But a few suggestions at this time may not be out of order, as initial efforts are generally open for the reception of same. With men who have an experience of the willingness of our white organizations in the West to fraternize when the spirit of self-help is evidenced by us we ought to go into this matter with a vim, combining our brain, finance and every other attribute that would lead to success as well as strengthen the impression we are endeavoring to establish, that we can originate and affiliate in business, etc., and defeat the stereotyped saying, "that we are only copyists and imitators." Our best wishes for the success of this organization are herein expressed, and our columns are open for the information and instruction to the public of its accomplishments and achievements from time to time. ROOSEVELT WEEK, OCT. 20-27. the name linked with the greatest or nationally famous, adding to the histo photographies of all great men, must be pain the spirit of our Americanism, of w before with more than the ordinary en ROOSEVELT—the name linked with the greatest of American statesmen—internationally famous, adding to the history of this nation as do the biographies of all great men, must be perpetually honored if we are to maintain the spirit of our Americanism, of which we are justly proud. It is therefore with more than the ordinary enthusiasm that we put ourselves whole-heartedly in the work of the Roosevelt Memorial Association and invite others to interest themselves in this cause of which there is none better, worthier, or meritorious to pay our respect and offer tangible proof of our admiration for a national leader, a teacher of men, an arbitrator, whom the world acknowledged and revered, and whose death has removed at a moment when we could ill afford to lose him, one of earth's greatest sons. Fully cognizant of the kind of Americanism that permeated his soul, and observing closely his demonstration of the same, in which he never failed in his appreciation of manhood whether high or low, rich or poor, as he drew no distinctions of caste or creed or color where human merit was concerned, we are in thorough accord with the movement; and as yesterday was designated by Governor Shoup as ROOSEVELT AMERICANIZATION DAY, and Monday, Oct. 27, the late ex-president's birthday, for the holding of meetings giving expression as they inevitably must to those aspirations for national unity and strength which burned so fiercely in the heart of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Denver and other parts of Colorado should show their appreciation and express their admiration by their support of the American principles for which Roosevelt stood, and their contributions in financial gifts, large or small, to provide permanent memorials to this great man. The Roosevelt Memorial Association believes that the following forms of expressions will be the unanimous feeling of the people, and therefore urge the state and local committees throughout the country to clearly present this most important cause to the public. First: A memorial that shall enable the people to record at once, and forcibly, their determination to uphold and maintain the staunch Americanism of Theodore Roosevelt. Second: Permanent memorials that will, as nearly as possible, correctly interpret and perpetuate the influence of his character and of his stalwart Americanism to future generations. Addressing ourselves to the people of our race at this particular time, we need not elaborate upon the action of Col. Roosevelt towards us as American citizens, as we know the many harsh sayings and abuses that were hurled at him because of his manliness in upholding and strictly adhering to the Constitution of this nation, giving merit where merit was due, and not hesitating to denounce the wrong of the mob and the lawless among the whites of this country; and therefore we feel that our becoming members of this association and sending our subscriptions to the State Chairman, Saml. D. Nicholson, or Allison Stocker, Chairman of the Denver Committee, will be an act worthy of a people who loved a man who in spite of odds was a fearless dispenser of justice, and who maintained the right of true Republican form of government—government of the people, by the people. Surely, as the Rev. Dr. Chas. Mead said recently in his Roosevelt talk: "When a man with a bullet in his chest and blood pouring into his shoes can say, because of his abiding faith and courage of his convictions (at the time he was shot at Milwaukee, in addressing a large gathering), 'Forget about me but remember the principles for which I stand,' he ought to be honored and his memory should live in the hearts of men permanently, as a guidance for any people, nation and country." With these facts before us there will be a hearty response from not only Americans but other parts of the world, as in his travels Col. Roosevelt won the love and esteem of the people and they have expressed their readiness and willingness to do their part. THE COLORADO STATESMAN voices the sentiments of the people it represents, that they will do their part and will go over the top in honoring with permanent memorials the man—COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, ex-president, United States of America, and late FRIEND OF THE WORLD. It Is Fundamental That High Prices Always Do Enhance Speculation here, but it is everywhere. The crisis following the Revolutionary war was induced by excesses that precipitated a speculative era. The same thing occurred in 1819, 1837, 1857, 1873 and 1893. A crisis came to us in 1907. All will admit that in the years preceding 1907 we never had a greater era of industrial activity than at that time. The panic came at the very moment when the people were talking about the great prosperity of the country. If ever there was a time when the world was wild with speculation, it is this minute, right now. I say to you gentlemen, that instead of your passing laws inviting speculation, enhancing the speculative spirit, we ought to be passing laws to relieve the period of speculation. If we do not get back to a sound business basis, where business is done on rational grounds, this country will see, as surely as we are here, a crisis that will come suddenly and swiftly. A Commission Is Needed for Building a National System of Highways That a commission as contemplated by the Townsend-Bankhead bill will be the method of administration adopted by congress for building a national highway system is indicated not only by public sentiment but by the weight of government precedent. Highways should be considered in the same class of public activity as railways, waterways, merchant marine, the national banking system, and, in fact, any of the great distinctly national undertakings. It seems a self-evident proposition that the building of a national system of highways will form an enterprise of such magnitude and such complexity as to put it entirely beyond the sphere of a single bureau or other subdivision of an executive department. Highways are of such an all-embracing and general importance as to make it impracticable to intrust the task as a minor undertaking to any single government department. A commission would consider the needs of all of the departments. From the standpoint of directness, of responsibility, timeliness of action and comprehensiveness of knowledge a commission devoting its whole time to the one single task could not fail to accomplish far greater results than would be possible through the medium of a cabinet officer who would be devoting the greater part of his time and attention to matters wholly foreign to highways. It would seem that the commission plan is unassailable. By GEORGE S. JOHNS, Chairman Exposition Committee The primary purpose of the Art league in originating and planning the St. Louis Exposition of Industrial Arts and Crafts is to awaken the business men to the importance of original designs in industry. The producer who considers utility only without regard to beauty will fail. The close of the war marks the beginning of a tremendous opportunity for American business in the world market. We must compete with the manufacturers of the world not alone in quality and price, but in design. Beauty of design, or line, form, color—the perfect combination of beauty and utility—is now a governing factor in salesmanship. America lacks both schools of design and teachers of design. American business men—for the subject is of vital interest not only to manufacturers but to all business men who handle their products—must awaken to the necessity of making adequate provision for this vital necessity. We should develop our own industrial arts and crafts—our own designers and craftsmen. We hope in this preliminary St. Louis exposition to lay the foundation for a great national exposition, which will exhibit the industrial arts and crafts of the United States. We hope eventually to have an international exposition. In Economy and in Work Alone Lie the Salvation of Great Britain By LORD CUNLIFFE, Director of the Bank of England The main thing to remember is that we must all work with a view to making good the wealth we have lost in the last five years. Those who have been fighting naturally want some relaxation. After the strain of war they want what is usually called a "lark." I should be the last man on earth to frown on that spirit. The soldier has well earned his playtime. But we should never lose sight of the fact that playtime cannot continue indefinitely. Remember we have drawn on the future. To win the war the British government had to pay for it. The government could do this only by drawing upon the nation's credit. This the government did by turning itself into the nation's banker, and by issuing notes against the future. The government had no other alternative. The issue has little to do with the increased cost of living. Now that the war is won we have to look to the future. In economy and in work alone lie our salvation, and unless we economize and work we shall never again be in the same happy position as we were in 1913. C. TABER & FURN By Representative S. D.

Nation Stirred Over Uprising of Negroes The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, makes public the following letter from a correspondent near the scene of the race riots in Arkansas, showing cotton prices, not Negro insurrection, as the cause of the trouble. The correspondent, whose standing the Association vouches for, writes: "The whole trouble, as I understand it, started because a Mr. Bratton, a white lawyer from Little Rock, Arkansas, was employed by sixty or seventy colored families to go to Elaine and represent them in a dispute with the white planters relative to the sale price of cotton. The rumor is that the planters had organized to settle with the tenants for their cotton on a twenty-five cent basis, when in turn the planters would sell it for much more. Quite naturally the tenants objected to this and employed Mr. Bratton to represent them. A full statement by Mr. Bratton appears in some of the climppings I have sent. "This 'Federated Union of America' is camouflage. The real issue was the dispute over the price of cotton between the tenants and planters. The propaganda published in the press about 'Negroes being armed to kill all white people and take their farms away from them' is too ridiculous to be given any thought." The clipping referred to is from the Memphis, Tenn., Commercial Appeal, of Friday morning, October 3rd. According to U. S. Bratton, father of the attorney accused of "inciting" the Negroes, therein quitted, his clients "claimed that it had been impossible for them to obtain itemized statements of accounts or in fact to obtain statements at all, and that the manager was preparing to ship their cotton, they being share croppers and having a half interest therein, off without settling with them or allowing them to sell their half of the crop and pay up their accounts.—As we were informed, there were some 65 or 70 of these croppers who desired us to represent them. If it's a crime to represent people in an effort to make honest settlements, then he has committed a crime. If this is a crime in a country where we have been spending our money and the lives of our boys to make the country safe for democracy, we do not understand what the word means." NATION STIRRED OVER UPRISING OF. NEGROES. New York, Oct. 15.—The Department of Justice at Washington, D. C., and the nation at large are seriously considering the settling of the colored people in all parts of the United States. The Southern congressmen and all others have come to their sense of realization to now consider the importance of settling this question, once and for all times. It is thoroughly understood that there is an awakening in the life of the colored people throughout this land, that they must take a stand for a definite proposition and feel their places as American citizens following the recent world's war. They now realize that their sacrifices in blood strewed upon the shores of France, in defense of the nation and the supposed democracy and are inclined more towards the defensive than ever. The colored folks of this broad land of ours have developed a degree of aggressiveness and resentment that is destined to put a stop to onslaughts, insults, lynchings, Jim crow, etc., and yet when the nation needs valiant and courageous servants they are pressed into service. These latter conditions are mainly the cause of the present uprising long ago predicted by men of acknowledged foresight, and it is to be hoped that the Congress, Senate and the President of the United States will see the wisdom of acting promptly and judiciously upon this all important question, and be it understood, gentlemen of the Congress and Senate, and the President, that there is a determination on the part of the colored people of this country to defend themselves against the atrocities so constantly heaped upon them. There has been no respect for our womanhood and a little less than respect for our manhood, yet the same has been demanded of us as from the others. This, fundamentally, is the cause of the present uprising, to take that which you cannot give and give that which you cannot take, must meet its reward. In the meantime we rely upon the intelligence of the learned people of the colored race to master the situation. What He Didn't Understand Joe had been spending his first vacation on a farm. When for the first time he saw the chickens all lined up on the roost he exclaimed, "How do they ever stick on to that grand stand while they are asleep?" Guiding the Line.

Jackson, Miss., Oct. 17.—Following the warning to leave town or suffer the consequences, Drummond Leonard, a barber here, who operated a shop patronized exclusively by whites, is looking for a new location in some part of the country. Although he has lived here for the past fifteen years, accumulated wealth and has become a financial power and respected citizen, Leonard fears that his life will be at stake if he remains longer, and that his public record for good will not save him. The barber incurred the wrath of the whites when he purchased Pullman tickets for his wife and two daughters, who were going to Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga. Leonard was taken from the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley train at Anne and severely beaten because he sought to send his family on the journey in comfort. He opened his shop as usual Monday morning, but was waited upon by a committee of citizens and told to leave town at once.

Co. as if the founder had lived, and gave encouragement to those who contemplated taking treat- ment or becoming agents for the firm. A great inspiration for business seemed to have taken hold of the audi- ence, as the numerous applauses to the advices and suggestions offered by the lecturer on how to become suc- cessful in the business world, proved beyond a doubt that Madam Walker had left a legacy to her race that would be gladly accepted, and our peo- ple having awakened to the conscious- ness of perpetuating good things would in a larger measure and greater de- gree give proof of their ability to grasp and carry on, Pleasant remin- iscences were brought about relative to Madam Walker's struggles and per- sistence to overcome during her early career in Denver, and the meeting closed with best wishes unanjmously for the further success, 4 Mr. Johnson, the advance agent, was present and ‘introduced the lecturer, commenting on the business after- ward.

ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL ASSOCIA. NTION WORKERS LAUNCH GREAT CAMPAIGN AT DINNER, AUDITORIUM HOTEL. | ‘Thursday evening last, at the Audi- tori hotel, Allison Stocker, chair- man of the Memorial Committee for Denver and toastmaster for the even- ‘Ing, eunounced the plan of campaign fox the Roosevelt Memorial, Among the guests were the following repre- ‘sentatives from the Colored Civie and Commercial Association: Capt, Tho- ‘mas Campbell, Spanish American War veteran; Joseph D. D. Rivers, Editor Colorado Statesman; Attorney Blake- more and T. E, Henderson. On being ‘called upon to speak, Capt. Campbell president of the Colored Organization in a few well chosen remarks landed Col. Roosevelt, and quoted from Virgil in characterizing the great American— “A nation in a man comprised.” He assured the meeting that the members of his race out of gratitude for Col. Roosevelt's actions and good intentjonx ‘towards them, were willing to contri- bute to this memorial in as far as man- ner as possible, as they stand for every thing essentially American, Attorney Blakemore highly commended the movement and gave further assurance of the loyal support of his people. Rey. Morse, Lieut-Col. Rice Means, Major Foster Symes, Senator Eaton, State ‘Treasurer Mulnix, Frank C.

LOUIS LEAD Many Others Will Submit Their Claims—Gatherings to Nominate Next President Probably Will Be Early in June. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Washington.—The national committees of the two political parties are already beginning to prepare for next year's presidential campaign. The first actual step by either of the old party committees will be to select a convention city. Each committee will do this at a meeting which will be held here about the middle of December. Having decided where the convention will be held, as well as the convention date, each committee will issue the formal call for the convention. Custom dictates that the party that is not represented by the occupant of the White House shall hold its convention first, and unless this custom shall be disregarded the Republicans will meet at least one week, and probably two weeks, in advance of the Democrats. In 1916 the conventions were held about two weeks earlier than ever before, the Republicans meeting on June 9 at Chicago and the Democrats on June 14 at St. Louis, and the representatives of the parties seem to like the idea of getting the nominations out of the way early in June. So it is generally assumed members of the national committees say, that the conventions next year will be over by the middle of June, or soon thereafter. Many cities already have let it be known that they would like to entertain one or both of the old party conventions. Chicago and St. Louis have come to be known as favorite political convention cities, and the politicians express the view that it is altogether likely that one of these cities and possibly both of them will be favored next year. Among the cities from which the party chairmen have received invitations which they will submit to the December meetings are Cleveland, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Denver. At least two Pacific const cities, Los Angeles and Portland, have indicated that they will in due time let it be known that they also will extend invitations. Chosen City Must Pay the Bill. The city that takes care of a national political convention must obligate itself to pay the bills of the convention. This rule has been followed for a good while. This does not mean that the city becomes responsible for the hotel bills or other expenses of the delegates, but it does mean that it must provide the hall free of cost and take care of the legitimate expenses of the national committee. The situation is usually met by the city turning over to the national committee a cash sum sufficient to cover the legitimate convention expenses. Next year's conventions will contain the same number of delegates that sat in the conventions in 1916. The number of delegates from each state is based on the number of senators and representatives the state has in congress, and although a new census will be taken in January next year, the reapportionment for congressional purposes will not be made in time to affect the political conventions. Reducing Army to Peace Basis. The army of the United States has been reduced to almost its normal strength. It now numbers about 340,000 men and 28,000 officers. The high water mark of the war was reached November 11, last year. the day that the armistice was signed, when the payroll of the army contained the names of 3,670,888 men. A bill signed by the president the other day provides that there shall not be more than 18,000 commissioned officers from October 3, 1919, until June 30, 1920. This means that 10,000 officers must be let out. The legislation which the president has just approved also authorizes the secretary of war to retain such officers as may be necessary in grades above their present rank. Difficult as the process of building up the army has been, the tearing down and shaping into a peace time organization is a more difficult matter. The difficulties of adjustment have been increased by the uncertainties as to the future military policy of the government, the inadequacy of pay in the face of the high cost of living and the failure of all classes to realize that economies must be promptly met. In peace there cannot be permitted the latitude in the use of officers that is necessary in war and the rank and promotion of officers must be governed by consideration of length of service, experience and general value to the military establishment as well as or accomplishments during the war. In anticipation of the passage of the bill providing for 18,000 officers, the war department allotted this number of officers to various commands and military activities of the army at home and abroad. The total number of officers that may be retained by any command or activity for the time being was fixed and the commanding officers of these organizations were directed to select, from the officers under their command, a sufficient number of temporary officers who, with their regular officers, will complete their quota of the 18,000. These selections are well under way and it will be necessary that the discharge from the service of all temporary officers not so selected for retention, be accomplished before November 1, 1919. This means the discharge within the next five weeks of approximately 10,000 emergency officers, most of whom desire to remain in the service but for whom there are no vacancies under the law. In determining the manner in which temporary officers are to be retained, the department has been guided by the consideration that the immediate commanders know best the relative merits of the officers under their command and are best qualified to judge which officers will be of the greatest value to the military establishment for the particular work to be accomplished by this establishment between now and June 30, 1920. The army has important work to do before that date, and the retention of temporary officers must be based upon their fitness to do this work rather than as a reward for their services during the war. Ranks Must Be Readjusted. The war department has fixed the number of officers that there may be in each grade of the 18,000 officers, thereby terminating the opportunity for extensive promotion that has existed during the war. In getting the 18,000 officers into these grades, there must be sacrifices of rank and pay throughout the service; a necessary consequence of readjusting the rank of officers from that held in a military force having 200,000 officers to those they can properly hold in a force having only 18,000 officers. The temporary officers to be retained will be largely applicants for permanent appointment. These officers along with all others have reached grades in the large army raised during the war that they cannot expect to hold in the small peace-time force. A determination of the decrease in rank of these officers in order to properly fit them into the new commissioned force will be made by the war department and announced in orders. Much-Treaty Legislation Needed. Ratification of the treaty of peace with Germany will not end the responsibility of congress in connection with the pact. There will still remain the question as to how numerous provisions of the treaty are to be administered. It is reasonably certain that congress, in enacting legislation that will be necessary in order to put into effect many provisions of the treaty so far as the United States is concerned, will see to it that broad powers are retained by the legislative body, or at least by the senate. Assuming that the treaty, with the League of Nations covenant included, will be ratified with certain reservations, it will be necessary for the United States to have representatives on a large number of international tribunals. The treaty is silent as to how these representatives of the government shall be appointed. Should congress fail to act, the president would appoint in every instance. But congress, so the leaders in the two houses say, has no thought of failing to act. It will provide, through legislation, if present plans are carried out, that all representatives of the United States on the international tribunals shall be nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate. When the treaty goes into effect there will be opened up an entirely new field of international activity. It is a field that will call for trained men of the best type. Congress will fix the salaries of these men and will, of course, have to appropriate money to meet the expenses of the United States in participating in the numerous new international activities. Will Require Many Experts. There will have to be a mixed arbitral tribunal established between each of the allied and associated powers on the one hand and Germany on the other within three months after the ratification of the treaty. Each of these tribunals is to consist of three members. The United States will, in case the treaty is ratified, appoint one member of the tribunal which is to represent it, Germany will appoint one member, and the two thus appointed will choose the third. There will also have to be created a permanent commission which will advise the council of the League of Nations on military, naval and air questions. It will also be necessary for the United States to name members of more than a score of other commissions that are to deal with problems growing out of the war. A typical commission is the one provided for to deal with the Saar basin. This commission, it will be recalled, is to consist of five members chosen by the council of the League of Nations and will include one citizen of France, one native inhabitant of the Saar basin, not a citizen of France, and three members belonging to three countries other than France or Germany. In this particular case the treaty does not say specifically that the United States must be represented, but it is taken for granted that it will be. In nearly every other case in which a commission is provided for the United States is mentioned as one of the countries that must be represented. Congress will also have to deal with the mandatories. If, as is generally understood, this government agrees to look after the Armenians, congress will have to say how the government shall go about this. There is also provision in the League of Nations covenant for a permanent commission which is to receive and examine all the annual reports of the mandatories provided for under the treaty, and the United States is to be represented on this commission RED CROSS HEROES Correspondent Tells of Deed of Splendid Bravery. Many Glorious Things Have Been Done in the Hot Spirit of Battle, But This Was in a Class From Hill 212, overlooking Fere-en-Tardenois and the valley of the Oureqc, William Slavens McNutt, Collier's correspondent, watched the American infantry start the Germans on their final retreat from Relms-Solissons-Chateau Thierry pocket. He says: And then I saw the most painfully dramatic thing I have witnessed in all this war. Out from the little strip of wood that the Americans had just captured, walking slowly out into that open, bullet-swept field over which the charge had passed, I saw two men with the brassard of the Red Cross on their arms bearing a wounded man on a litter. They had perhaps 300 yards to go back across that open field before the curve of the hill would shelter them from the machine gun fire from the hill above. And they could not run, they could not duck, they could not take cover. They must walk upright on their work of mercy, walk upright in that storm of lead, and, walk slowly for the burden they bore! "There go two dead men," the captain said solemnly. "They haven't got a chance in that field. The machine guns'll get 'em, sure! Watch!" I watched. I have never watched anything so intently in my life. And with all the fervency of reverence and belief that there was in me I prayed for those two men of mercy over there who could not fight back; those men who had made the charge up the hill with their comrades of the gun and bayonet and must now march back bearing a wounded fighting man to safety; back through that storm of lead that was sweeping the field from the big wood—march back standing straight and walking slow. So slow! They had made perhaps a hundred yards when one of them slipped to his knees and rolled over. "I told you," the captain exclaimed. "They've got 'em!" "Only one," I said. "The other fellow's not hit." "They'll get him," the captain prophesied gloomily. I saw the unwounded man kneel by his stricken comrade. For the space of a minute he knelt there. I suppose applying first aid. Then he stood erect. And then the man who had been hit, the stretcher bearer on the ground, rose slowly—oh, so very slowly—till he was propped up on one elbow. Then to his knees. Slow! Then very, very slowly he got to his feet. Once up, he leaned over—and, from where I was, through my glasses, I could see by the movement the pain it cost—leaned over, grasped the handles of the litter, and straightened up again. He had been hit, but he was going on! On they went. I have no power to describe how slowly they seemed to be moving across that deadly open field. A hundred yards! Another hundred would mean comparative safety under the slope of the hill. Fifty of that accomplished! Twenty-five more! And then, slowly yet, they vanished from sight under the protective slope. They had made it! I think I shouted. I know I tried to, and I know that my knees were suddenly too weak to hold me up and that I abruptly knelt and grasped the slim pole of the little lone tree near by to steady myself.—Red Cross Bulletin. An Ideal Woman. Solomon's model woman would have made an ideal federated club woman! First she began at home and the heart of her husband-man safely trusted in her, for she rose while it was yet night to give meat to her household. She was a financier, another qualification fitting her admirably for club life, for we see her considering a field and buying it. She was a horticulturist, for she planted a vineyard. She was a merchant, for she bought her goods from afar and perceived that they were good. She was a manufacturer, for she is pictured as making fine linen and selling girdles to the merchants. She was a wise councillor—perhaps, a member of the national council of defense; we knew she was a diplomat, for her husband was known in the gates, and so was she.—New York Evening Telegram. New Roofing Material. England's efforts to conserve steel and iron have resulted in the development of an asbestos and cement material that is being used instead of corrugated iron for roofing purposes. It is made by mixing one part of finely ground asbestos to six parts of Portland cement. When made into paste by the addition of water, it is rolled into sheets which, after being trimmed, are corrugated and then seasoned. The asbestos serves as reinforcement. The Reticent Pork Chop. Economists tell us that the scale of wages has increased more than the cost of living. However, one does not meet the affable pork chop out in popular society nearly as much as before, and the average housewife would rather read an absorbing recipe of new-fangled food substitutes now than the saddest love story ever written.—Thrift Magazine.

WE MAKE OLD HATS NEW. MANY DELICIOUS DISHES MAY EASILY BE PREPARED BY HOUSEKEEPER FROM CHEESE Cheese Fondue Means a Splendid Supper Dish. Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water until tender, and rinse in cold water. Cook the parsley, onion and pepper in a little water with the butter. Pour off the water or allow it to boil away. Beat the egg white and yolk separately. Mix all the ingredients, cutting and folding in the stiffly beaten whites at the last. Line a quart baking dish with buttered paper; turn the mixture into it; set the baking dish in a pan of hot water, and bake in a moderate oven from one-half to three-fourths of an hour. Serve with tomato sauce. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In hot weather even hearty appetites grow tired of meat. Cheese naturally suggests itself as a substitute, since it is rich in the same kind of nutrients which meat supplies and is a material which can be used in a great variety of ways. Many people believe cheese to be difficult to digest, but extensive investigations have been carried on in the department of agriculture, the results of which show that cheese, properly prepared and used, is not a general cause of trouble. Nut and Cheese Roast. From the standpoint of the housekeeper cheese is of importance because of its nutritive value (particularly its high percentage of muscle-forming materials), because of the ease with which it can be kept and prepared for the table, and because of its appetizing flavor and the great variety of ways in which it can be served. 1 cup of grated cheese 2 tablespoons of chopped onion 1 cup of chopped English walnuts 1 tablespoon of butter 1 cup of bread crumbs Juice of half a lemon Salt and pepper Cook the onion In the butter and a little water until it is tender. Mix the other ingredients and molsten with water, using the water In which the onion has been cooked. Pour into a shallow baking dish and brown in the oven. In substituting cheese for meat special pains should be taken to serve dishes which are relished by members of the family. A number of recipes for dishes which contain cheese are given below: Creamed Cheese and Eggs. 3 hard-boiled eggs Speck of cayenne 1 tablespoon of 1/4 cup or 1 ounce flour grated cheese 1 cup of milk 4 slices of toast 1/2 cup of salt Cheese Fondue. 6 ounces of cheese 1½ cups soft, stale (1½ cups of fine cheese or cut into 1 cup hot water small pieces) 1½ teaspoon salt Make a thin white sauce with the flour and milk and seasonings. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Chop the whites and add them to the sauce. Pour the sauce over the toast, force the yolks through a potato ricer or strainer, sprinkle over the toast. Mix the water, bread crumbs, salt and cheese; add the yolks, thoroughly beaten; into this mixture cut and fold the whites of eggs, beaten until stiff. Pour into a buttered baking dish and cook 30 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve at once. Scrambled Eggs With Cheese. 1 pound of cheese 1 tablespoon of grated or cut into chopped parsley small pieces A pinch of nutmeg 8 eggs ½ teaspoon of salt The food value of this dish, made with the above quantities, is almost exactly the same as that of a pound of beef of average composition and a pound of potatoes combined. Beat the eggs slightly, mix them with the other ingredients and cook over a very slow fire, stirring constantly, so that the cheese may be melted by the time the eggs are cooked. In food value the dish is equal to nearly two pounds of average beef. Rice Fondue. 1 cup of boiled rice ½ teaspoon of salt 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon of some 4 eggs commercial meat 1 cup of grated cheese similar cheese flavoring Cheese Omelet. Heat the rice in the milk, add the other ingredients, and cook slowly until the cheese is melted. Serve on crackers or toast. Yolks of 2 eggs 2 tablespoons of the water 1 cup grated cheese The food value is not far from that of a pound of beef of average composition. Beat the yolks until lemon colored and add the hot water and the seasoning. Beat the whites until they are stiff, and add the cheese. Cut and fold the two mixtures together. Heat the butter in omelet pan and cook the mixture very slowly until it is brown on the under side. If possible cook the top of the omelet in the oven or by means of a hot plate held over it. Corn and Cheese Souffle. 1 tablespoon of butter 1 cup of chopped corn 1 tablespoon of 1 cup of grated chopped green cheese pepper 3 eggs ½ cup of flour ½ teaspoon of salt 2 cups of milk Melt the butter and cook the pepper thoroughly in it. Make a sauce out of the flour, milk and cheese; add the corn, cheese, yolks and seasoning; cut and fold in the whites beaten stiffly; turn into a buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven 30 minutes. RETAINING FLAVOR IN MEAT Sometimes Partially Accomplished by Searing Exterior, Preventing Escape of Juices. Made with skimmed milk and without butter this dish has a food value slightly in excess of a pound of beef and a pound of potatoes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) It is extremely difficult to retain the flavor-giving qualities in a piece of meat so tough as to require prolonged cooking. It is sometimes partially accomplished by first searing the exterior of the meat and thus preventing the escape of the juices. Another way is to let them escape into the gravy which is served with the meat itself, illustrated in the following recipe for round steak on biscuits: Tomato Rabbit. 2 tablespoons of butter ½ teaspoon soda 2 eggs, slightly Salt, mustard, cayenne pepper 2 tablespoons of flour 1 cup of milk 1 pound cheese % cup of stewed and strained tomatoes ½ teaspoon butter 2 eggs, slightly beaten Salt, mustard, cayenne pepper Cook the butter and the flour together, add the milk, and as soon as the mixture thickens add tomatoes and soda. Then add cheese, eggs and seasoning. Serve on toasted whole-wheat or graham bread. Cut round steak into pieces about one-half inch square, cover with water and cook at a temperature just below the boiling point until it is tender, or boil for five minutes, and while still hot put into a fireless cooker and leave it for five hours. Thicken the gravy with flour mixed with water, allowing two level tablespoonfuls to a cup of water. Pour the meat and gravy over split baking-powder biscuits, so baked that they have a large amount of crust. Green Corn, Tomato and Cheese. 1 tablespoon of ½ cup of tomato butter 2 cups of grated egg yolks cheese ½ cup of canned ½ teaspoon of pa- or grated fresh corn 1 ripe plimento 1 clove of garlic 4 slices of bread Into the melted butter stir the cheese until it, too, has melted. Then add the corn and pimento, stir for a moment and add the egg yolks beaten and mixed with the tomato juice and the salt and paprika. Have ready the bread toasted on one side and very lightly rubbed on its untoasted side with the garlic cut in two. Pour the mixture over the untoasted side of the bread and serve at once. A poached egg is sometimes placed on top of each portion, making a very nutritious combination. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Wash lamp burners in wood ashes and water.

SALADS AND SANDWICHES FOR VARIOUS OCCASIONS. A sandwich is never out of season, for it is the substantial part of a meal at whatever time or place it is served. ```markdown ``` If one desires a large quantity of filling for sandwiches, the following recipe will be a good one to follow. It may be easily divided. The dressing may be used on potato or other vegetable salads: Cheese Sandwich Filling.—Mix together one cupful of sour cream, three eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of sugar, a few grains of cayenne, one teaspoonful of mustard and one teaspoonful of salt. Beat all together in a double boiler until the eggs are broken; set over hot water and stir until it begins to thicken. Add three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, hot, to the cream mixture. When cooked until it coats the spoon, set aside to cool. Put one and one-half pounds of cheese, two green peppers and two sweet red peppers through a meat chopper. Mix together, and add enough of the dressing to make the mixture spread easily. Use on thin slices of bread. Cream Cheese Filling.—Cream two small cream cheeses, add gradually one tablespoonful of butter and one-fourth of a cupful of orange juice. When well blended, add half a cupful of chopped pimentoes, one cupful of chopped walnut meats and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Mix well and spread on buttered graham bread. Onion Sandwiches.—Chop fine a Bermuda or Spanish onion, and mix with a little well-seasoned French dressing. Spread on buttered bread and serve for Sunday night sandwiches (after church). Carrot and Nut Sandwiches.—Mix together one-half cupful each of ground carrots and nuts (peanuts, walnuts or pecans may be used). Add one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-half tablespoonful of olive oil, one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and spread on slices of buttered bread. Pressed Egg and Ham Sandwiches. -Chop fine six hard-cooked eggs, one green onion and one-half a green pepper. Mix with one-half teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of prepared mustard. Place half of the mixture in a small, greased pan. Press down, then add a layer of chopped ham, using one and one-half cupfuls, finely chopped. Finish with the rest of the egg mixture; pour over two tablespoonfuls of soup stock and place in a cool place until molded enough to slice. And you who judge so harshly, Are you sure the stumbling-stone That tripped the feet of others Milk and bread down? Are you sure the sad-faced angel Who writes your errors down Will ascribe to you more honor Than him on whom you frown? WHOLESOME GOOD THINGS. Frostings for various cakes have not been the usual thing during the months of sugar shortage. The following are two desirable frostings which may be covered and kept in a cool place for weeks and, by adding a bit of moisture or heating over water, will be ready for use: 蛋糕架 Fondant.—This recipe has appeared before as candy foundation, but makes very satisfactory frosting. Use four cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of water and one tablespoonful of glucose. Boil until the stirup makes a soft ball when dropped in water. Set away to cool; when cool enough to bear the finger, stir until creamy. Put into a jar or bowl, cover with waxed paper and let stand until wanted. Take out what will be needed for icing, melt it over hot water, add flavoring, coloring or chocolate and spread on the cakes. Another Frosting.—Use confectioners' sugar and milk or cream. To two cupfuls of sugar add a tablespoonful of cream, adding a few drops more until soft enough to spread. Try it on a small cake until of the right consistency; use what is needed and cover the rest, setting it in a cool place where it will not dry out. It will keep for three weeks or longer. Bachelor's Buttons.—Rub together four tablespoonfuls of butter and ten tablespoonfuls of flour. Divide ten tablespoonfuls of sugar; stir five into the flour and the other five into two well-beaten eggs; flavor with anise and add to the flour mixture. Make into small walnut-sized balls, place on a buttered baking sheet and bake in a hot oven. Dip in fondant and sprinkle with nuts. Sunshine Cake.—Take the whites of eight eggs and the yolks of six, one cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, salt and vanilla. Beat the yolks until thick, add vanilla, beat the whites until foamy, then add the cream of tartar; finish beating, until stiff; add the sugar, a little at a time, then add yolks and fold in the flour. Bake forty-five minutes in a moderate oven. Nellie Maxwell SAYS KAISER IGNORED U. S. BERNSTORFF TESTIFIES BEFORE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE IN BERLIN. U. S. NOT CONSIDERED TELEGRAM TO BERNSTORFF IS READ AND CAUSES GREAT SENSATION. Berlin, Oct. 24.—President Wilson's peace offer was a matter of little concern to the German emperor, according to the evidence presented before the subcommittee investigating the war. Furthermore, the intervention of the United States apparently was not seriously considered by the emperor. The incident caused a sensation, and occurred during the examination of Count von Bernstorff, former ambassador in Washington. The Socialist deputy, Dr. Sinshelmer, turned toward Von Bernstorff and said: "The kaiser's telegram to which you refer, dated Jan. 16, 1917, and addressed to Herr Zimmermann (foreign secretary) says literally 'his majesty instructs me to thank you for your communication. His majesty does not care a bit about President Wilson's offer. If a breach with America cannot be prevented, it cannot be helped. Events are developing.'" There was much excitement at the hearing when the message was read. Dr. Karl Helferich, former vice chancellor, whispered "nonsense!" Under cross-examination, Von Bernstorff quoted the German emperor and General Ludendorff on his (Bernstorff's) return from Washington. The emperor said Von Bernstorff had failed on two points—first, in allowing the British to confiscate the trunk with a Swedish diplomat's papers thought to contain his Mexican telegrams, and, second, by permitting the United States to send James W. Gerard to Germany as ambassador. Ludendorff accused him of attempting to make peace by agitating against the submarine warfare, and declared that the U-boat war would bring peace three months. He then told the former ambassador that President Wilson's peace proposal could not pass the Reichstag; it would be championed only by the Socialists, adding "that a 'rotten peace' was impossible. Replying to another question, the former ambassador said: "Without America's help the entente could not have vanquished Germany. If we succeeded in preventing war with America a peace of understanding would at least have been possible." Japs Strengthen Frontier. Seoul, Korea.—An official report received at the Japanese army headquarters says that a large number of Koreans from the northern frontier districts threaten to invade Korea by crossing the river Tungegang. The army authorities are preparing to about ten battalions of troops from Yongsaan to strengthen the frontier guard. Wants Home Guard Armed. Washington.—A bill authorizing the War Department to issue rifles, pistols and machine guns to the states for home guard defense has been introduced by Senator Harrison, Democrat, Mississippi, who said the legislation was designed as part of a plan to protect communities against violence by radical elements. Police Wound Two. Youngstown, Ohio.—One man was fatally wounded and another seriously injured when police broke up two alleged attempts at arson by striking steel workers here. A group of striking Serbians and Italians held a secret meeting in Brier hall and decided, it is alleged, to burn the houses of several men who continued to work. Learning of the plan, police lay in wait for the strikers. Three Serbians had set fire to one house before they were caught and a group of three Italians was surprised attempting to fire two houses. Ships Strike Mines. Stockholm.—Three hundred and forty-six lives were lost when two Bolshevist destroyers in an attack on Estonian craft and British destroyers in the Gulf of Finland Tuesday, struck mines and were sunk, according to an Estonian official communication. Four destroyers fitted for mine laying, the communication adds, left Kronstadt with the object of supporting a landing of troops. End of Reds at Hand. London. - Fierce fighting has occurred in the region of Pskov and Ostrov. The Esthionians capture 550 prisoners, three guns and much material, according to official advises. A wireless dispatch just received from General Denikine, the anti-Bolshevik leader in south Russia, contains a message from General Shkuro, which says: "The position of the volunteer army is brilliant, despite a few temporary failures. It is quite evident that the end of Bolshevism is at hand." WESTERN BEEF CO. Chitterlings, Pig Tails, Snouts, Ears, Pigs Feet, Neck ones, Spare Ribs Received Fresh Daily. Meats of All Kinds..

Lingerie ribbons, hair bows, shopping bags and many other kinds of bags, slippers and sashes are always in demand, but they grow in importance with the approach of the holidays, since nothing is liked better for gifts. This year will see them more popular than ever because they are less extravagantly priced than other gifts that have equal charm. All women like pretty furbelows and therefore they choose them as gifts for their friends. The pretty lingerie bows, garters, rosettes, clasps, sachet and powder bags—and other bits of neryne made of ribbons require time and painstaking care and these add more value to exquisite little gifts than can be measured in dollars and cents. A few of the novelties which will figure in this year's holiday displays are shown in the picture above. At the center of the group there is a shower rosette made of narrow satin ribbon, usually in pink, but pretty in any light color. The rosette is made of many knotted loops varying in In the Assemblag In the assemblage of coats for little girls certain kinds of cloth and certain styles are set aside for children from four years old upward to misses of seventeen. Warmth, protection against rain and snow, and durability are the first consideration in girls' coats and all these things have been looked after in the models presented for this season. Prices have advanced as sharply on children coats as they have on shoes and Baby Bunting's father could hardly be more profitably employed than when he goes hunting for rabbit skins to wrap the baby up in. Rabbit skin coats, undisguised by any dye and not masquerading under any other name, make coats for small girls. Squirrel, opossum, muskrat are the furs to make collars in cloth coats for the younger children. For school wear there are heavy novelty cloths, plain on one side and plaid on the other, that are warm and good looking. Leather coats that cost less than cloth ones, will help solve the problem of warmth and durability without high price. Dark blue cloth coats lined with scarlet wool cloth are among the prettiest models that—speaking comparatively—are moderately priced, but moderately priced does not mean much in the realm of length, with the short ones at the center. These, with a few short ends, are sewed together at the base of the loops. Eleven pieces of ribbon, also of unequal length, and each having a little bow at one end, are sewed to the back of the rosette, which is then fastened to a medium-sized safety pin. This rosette is to be used on a night dress or petticoat where it is pinned to place when wanted. Two pairs of garters are shown, each made of a plain satin ribbon shirred to a flat elastic band. Each of the garters at the left is ornamented with a double bow of ribbon in which a ribbon pansy is set and two buds. The pansy is painted at the center. The garters at the opposite side are finished with small clusters of ribbon flowers. The group includes little rosettes of ribbon with tiny ribbon or chiffon roses at the center, each fastened to a small safety pin. These are used wherever needed, as on the shoulders—instead of clasps. Exquisitely rich, but in good taste, are evening dresses and dinner gowns of heavy metal brocades velled in colored chiffons. e of Girl's Coats coats, either for youngsters, or grown people. Fur fabrics (or wool furs) make very handsome coats for children and prove as durable as any cloth; they are more lasting than furs and richer looking than the inexpensive pelts. There are several kinds of wool fur suitable for children of various ages. Nearly all of them are plain, that is not made in imitation of a fur, and the coat pictured here is a fine example of good style for a girl of ten years or over. This is a straight-hanging coat, cut to flare somewhat. It has a wide felt that slips through a slash in the coat at each side and buttons with a large button and loop at the front. The wide shawl collar can be rolled up about the neck and face and there are small, triangular pockets to hide the fingers in when the coldest weather nips them. These coats are lined with plain satin usually and while quite dressy enough for any sort of demand, they may be relied upon for daily service and great resistance to wear. Jushia Bottomly WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS American Is Head of the New Republic of Russia WASHINGTON—This is a queer world nowadays. Did you ever hear of Ulro-Rusinla and its acting governor, Gregory I. Zsatkovitch? Of course not. Well, Ulro-Rusinla is one of the smallest of the new self-governing represented by the American National council of Uhro-Rusins. This council worked so energetically that in 1918 at the convention of the Mid-European union in Philadelphia the Rusins were recognized as a self-governing unit of the Czecho-Slovak republic. This was ratified by an American plebiscite. Uhro-Rusinla has a population of about one million. Its capital is Uzhorod. Set in the Carpathian mountains, Rusinla is noted for its picturesqueness, with its pretty, well-kept houses and its quiet, contented people in their bright national costumes. D. A. R. Exchange Stars and Stripes With Congress N THE house the other day Representative Mondell of Wyoming, the majority leader, called attention to a beautiful new flag suspended back of the speaker's desk. He read a letter from Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey, resentatives from the year 2001 and displaced by the flag presented to the house by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and this day accepted by the house, a period of time covering the first 19 years of the twentieth century, during which the house of representatives participated in the events preliminary to and in the enactment of legislation for the prosecution of the war with the imperial German government and with the royal Austro-Hungarian government, and during which time also many other historic and important acts originated, were perfected, or consummated herein; therefore, be it "Resolved, That because of the association of said flag with the legislative history of the United States during the period aforesaid, and in token of the house's appreciation of the patriotism of the members of said society and of the women of the United States, the clerk of the house of representatives is hereby authorized and directed to deliver said flag to the board of management of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, to be displayed and carefully preserved in the archives of said society, together with a copy of this preamble and resolution." Congress Apparently in Favor of Budget System CONGRESS is apparently taking the national budget system movement quite seriously. The Illinois plan of control of public expenditures through a budget system was explained to the house appropriations committee the public health service and other subsidiary bureaus should be removed from the treasury department. In other words, said the governor, while all the other departments are working to secure increased appropriations, there should be one central bureau whose sole duty it should be to keep expenses down. "It cannot be emphasized too strongly that somebody outside the influences of the departments should receive the estimates and make up a budget for which he would be responsible and who should answer to the president alone," Governor Lowden declared. The appearance of Governor Lowden on the floor of the house following his testifying before the appropriations committee was the signal for an ovation which interrupted proceedings. Democrats and Republicans alike joined in an outburst of cheering and applause. The creation of a special commission for the preparation of a national budget would be a "dangerous experiment," said the governor, maintaining that an independent commission would not be held to a proper responsibility for its acts. "If we require the president to submit a budget, saying what expenditures he believes to be necessary for the proper running of the government, then the country will know that the president asks only that amount, and no more." American Legion Post Opposes Reclamation Bill American Legion Post Opposes Reclamation Bill SENATOR FLETCHER of Florida read into the Congressional Record the other day resolutions adopted by Tampa post, No. 5, American Legion, which are substantially as follows: "Whereas various measures have been an initial capital of not less than $1,200 is required of each soldier, sailor and marine; and, whereas, said bill is not confined to the public lands of the United States, but provides for 'projects' to be purchased in the several states, thus opening the way for fraud, reckless expenditures of public funds, and real estate grafting of all natures and kinds; and, whereas, a certain measure has been introduced in the congress of the United States providing for loans for the purpose of securing to the discharged soldier, sailor and marine, veterans of the late war, city or country homes, and in the sum of from $1,000 to $5,000 at 4 per cent interest and payable over 40 years of time; and, whereas, this in the judgment of this post of the American Legion is the fairest and most equitable of all such measures, both to the soldier and to the United States; therefore, be it "Resolved.

He then offered the following preamble and resolution and asked unanimous consent for its immediate consideration: "Whereas the flag which was displayed in the hall of the house of representatives from the year 1901 until resentatives from the year 1900 and displaced by the flag presented to the Daughters of the American Revolution period of time covering the first 19 y which the house of representatives paid and in the enactment of legislation for imperial German government and with it and during which time also many other were perfected, or consummated herein "Resolved, That because of the active history of the United States during the house's appreciation of the patriot of the women of the United States, this is hereby authorized and directed to document of the National Society of the De be displayed and carefully preserved in with a copy of this preamble and res Congress Apparently in CONGRESS is apparently taking the quite seriously.
