The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 The papers formerly known as The Statesman and The Independent, have been merged into The Denver Star SACRIFICE FINGER TO Paris,—After having been taken out of the trenches because of his stiff index finger, and fearing that he would be invalided out of the war entirely, "Bob" Scanlon, the American Negro prize fighter who has been in the French Legion for nearly three years, recently went to London and ordered the surgeon of a military hospital there to "chop" his finger off. The surgeon demurred. "Chop it off," demanded Scanlon. Then, seeing the doubtful look in the surgeon's eyes, Scanlon added quickly: "Oh, I'm no slacker. I don't want that finger off so I can't pull a trigger again. My middle finger's still good and they won't have me around with my forefinger stiff. I can convince them I've used my middle finger from childhood and then they'll let me go back to the boys in the legion." I've seen enough blood in this war, and some of it's been my own. I guess I can stand a little more of it. Get out your cleaver.' While Scanlon looked on without a grimace, the forefinger was cut off close to the knuckle. A young American volunteer nurse fainted as she held the basin, and Scanlon grinned in amusement as a young doctor picked her up and carried her off. Scanlon arrived in Paris last week and is now back with the 170th Regiment. His finger has completely healed. He writes that he now has a machine gun of his own and that all is "hunky dory." Scanlon doesn't care whether he is transferred to the American force or not. He writes: "I want to be where there s something doing. When things start up on the American front I want to come over but things ain't as lively there now as they are here." Scanlon has taken part in a number of amateur bouts at the front and also has been "developing" several promising young French lightweights in the ranks. The American Legionnaire has been three times wounded. Last Monday morning the city was honored with the presence of twenty-two former sergeants of the famous 10th Cavalry en route from Arizona to Fort Wayne. Michigan, where they will enter the aviation ground school located there in preparation for their receiving for over seas service. Among this notable group were Sergts. Frazier, J. S. Williams, Miller, E. J. Peek, F. Bethel, Covington, L. Shields, M. Jefferson, Decosta, A. Brown, H. Tipton, R. Timberlake, L. S. Harris, J. L. Lightbourne, S. Reynold Samuels, Corp. Stevens, Sergeants, Johnson, S. Irby, Barclay and S. M. Peal. Washington.—Reports of indiscriminate mixing of Negro and white soldiers at Camp Pike. Ark., were said by War Department officials today to be untounded. Formal protests by the Mississippi Congressional delegation were referred to Major Gen-Samuel D. Sturgis, commanding at Camp Pike, who said it was a temporary situation and that steps to remedy it had been taken. Graduates of the army school for cooks and bakers recently were drawn up with a Negro unit, but were not mixed with them, the white soldiers having one end of the line. It this war is as serious as we are told that it is, American soldiers, white and black, will have to stand shoulder to shoulder on the helds of France: They will not only have to stand side by side, but they will have to pour out their blood in one common stream. And the War Department won't feel called upon to apologize to the Mississippi Congressional delegation for it. A few newspapers and several senators have made objections to the Poindexter amendment of the Espionage Act. The amendment makes the Act a very drastic law. Those who object to it say that it will stifle even legitimate and necessary criticism of the conduct of the war. In spite of any objections the amendment is likely to be adopted. Before it is adopted its language may be somewhat modified, but as originally sent out through the Associated Press it read in part as follows: Colored newspaper men and and the colored people in general ought to be glad to see this amendment become a law. If it becomes a law, the uniform will have to be respected when worn by a Negro as when worn by anyone else. There will be no more contemptuous remarks made to and about colored soldiers whose allegiance and loyalty to the Gobernment is of so recent a date that it is yet on trial. There will be no more cases of colored officers traveling in uniform and under militar orders being snatched off trains and put in jail by lopeared constables for riding in a Pullman car. The War Department will be relieved of apologizing to the Mississippi Congressional delegation be cause some white and colored troops are together in the same camp at Camp Pike, Arkansas. Let the amendment pass.—Age. Be A Hermit To Avoid Trouble DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY. APRIL 20, 1918 We are informed that in Ohio the places of public comfort such as theaters and restaurants attempted to draw the color line on soldiers, and that the commanding officers of this cantonment issued a bulletin and had their men to visit the theaters and other places of amusement and found that the color line was drawn, and in twenty-four hours these managers of these places of amusement were given to understand that if any discrimination was made toward the soldiers their places would be closed. Now the boys in Ohio are enjoying all the rights and benefits accorded any other soldier If the government can intern prostitutes and aliens and bar saloons five and ten miles from soldier encampments, we do see why it can not compel keepers of restaurants and other public places and white soldiers to respect the rights of color ed soldiers. A soldier is a soldier, and when he measures up to all the requirements of the army, there should be no restriction put upon him. We hope that if this order has been issued the command ing officer will rescind it and send a general order to all soldiers to respect the rights of each other, and that all public places of amusement be open to all soldiers. The colored man demands no more or less than his personal rights, and it is the duty of the officers to see that they are respected. We hope the commanding officer will see his way clear to follow in the footsteps of the lowly Nazarene and assist his brother in black to come into full possession of all his rights and benefits which his white brother already enjoys. Headquarters Ninety-Second Division 1. It should be well known to all colored officers and men that no useful purpose is served by such acts as will cause the "color question" to be raised. It is not a question of legal rights, but a question of policy, and any policy that tends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosities, is prejudiced to the military interest of the 92nd Division, and therefore prejudicial to an important interest of the colored race. 2. To avoid such conflicts the Division Commander has repeatedly urged all colored members of his command and especially officers and non-commissioned officers, should refrain from going where their presence will be resented. In spite if this injunction one of the sergeants of the Medical Department has repeatedly precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided, and then called on the Division Commander to take sides in a row that should never have occured and would not have occurred had the Sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This Sergeant entered a theatre, as he undoubtedly had a legal right to do, and precipitated trouble by making it possible to allege race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter, and the theatre is legally wrong. Nevertheless the Sergeant is guilty of the greater wrong in doing anything, no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity. 3. The Division Commander repeats that the success of the Division, with all that that success implies, is dependent upon the good will of the public. That public is nine-ents white. White men made the Division, and they can-break it just as easily if it becomes a trouble maker. 4. All concerned are again enjoined to place the general interest of the Division above the personal pride and gratification. Avoid every situation that can give rise to racial ill-will. Attend quietly and faithfully to your duties, and don't go where your presence is not desired. 5. This will be read before all organization of the 92nd Division. By command of Maj. Gen. Ballou. ALLEN GREER, Lieutenant-Colonel. U. S. A. Chief-of-Staff. In the world's greatest war, the Colored American citizen is true as steel to his country. Anything that can be done to further cement the already tightening ring of loyalty devotion and self sacrifice the Negro is willing to pay the price and do it honorably and promptly. But no American citizen nor officer, white or black should be called upon in a fight for true and full world's democracy equality and justice to give up more than any other officer or citizen, because, of some race prejudice, class discrimination policy of any superior officer, profiteer or alien enemy. No pro German sentiment affects him. This was tried recently in the south by systematic German propaganda, attempting to alienate the Negro against his country, but no sooner did the outrageous work begin than did it meet with decided repulse. The intended victims at once informed the authorities and soon the German agitator met with anything but a cordial reception. The colored citizen has responded nobly to his country's call in the present great tragedy. The records show that very few of the selected draft list made request for relief from duty. They passed the best physical examination of any class who has been examined, with a view of ascertaining their fitness for duty in the army. Under date of January, 1918 statistics from Washington, give the following interesting facts: Eighty-three thousand colored men are in the service One thousand two hundred and fifty have completed the course at the officers training camp at Des Moines. Iowa of whom six hundred twenty six have been commissioned as officers in the United States army. Nearly one thousand physicians and surgeons have received commissions in the Medical Reserve Corps. A full fighting force of thirty thousand colored troops in cluding men in every branch of the service, will constitute the fighting force of thirty thousand colored soldiers, comprising the Ninety second Division to be detailed for service in France. Colored man knows but one flag, never has known any other and its stars and stripes are sacred to him. The colored American population has done nobly in its efforts to help the nation financially. In Greater Kansas City alone, more than $1000000 worth of Liberty Bonds were bought by this class of loyal citizens. In Red Cross work, they have responded noble and patriotically. In Y. M. C. A. work they have contributed some of their most cultured and most highly educated talent. In fact in all lines of of activities, the Negro is at his post and do his duty faithfully and cheer fully, as an American citizen, who loves his country and is willing to fight and die, if need be, to perpetuate our system of government and in the words of the beloved Lincoln, to uphold a government of the people, for the people, so that it shall not perish from the earth. In the greatest fighting piece of humanity 'real man' is recognized first in the soldier. A military person without manhood and self and race respect is not a true soldier, he is a slave and knee bending grinning knave. But FIVE CENTS A COPY. he happens to be in the minority and because he is colored for a true soldier to avoid trouble, show fear or shirk his duty imposed upon him by his legal rights, because trouble comes as a consequence of the exercise of those rights or a manly act, will justly earn to him the title of a coward or a man with a yellow streak. And because of his color or race to refuse to go to Carrizal, Mexico, be cause some Mexican, Austrian or theatre profiteer objected or resented his presence some where down the line; to refuse to kill an alien enemy who was in the act of doing a serious injury to our country's flag or principle of democracy and who also happened to be white like nine tenths of his associates, kind or company, would cause such a vicious principle to be installed in our soldiers that cowardice, now unknown among them, will be their cardinal virtue. Why not develop all the manhood in any soldier, why not give every soldier and officer these smileage books under equal conditions? God will not permit prejudiced American officers to live and thrive in a war for full and true democracy, equality and justice than he will allow the brutal Hun to live and thrive off of the lust rapine and prejudice a gainst Belgians and Serbians. Prejudice is the wrong started over here will be carried "over there" and we loyal citizens bwe it to our republic to so assist our soldiers as to stamp out such vicious principles attempted by any prejudiced federal officer. The officers logic is bad in principle, reprehensible in operation and in effect almost criminal, especially in the fact, that this black army with America stands for the democracy where the rights of the minority are so sacredly and jealously guarded and preserved that every man big or light, white or black should deserve and get his own. Let every Negro who can hold a pen in hand write a solemn and polite protest with a ringing firmness opposing this greatest stab ever delivered the Negro in the war. To be manly and soldierly when unobjectionable to a white man, but be cowards and curses, if any white man, even a 5 ct theatre man alien enemy a false friend may object. If a theatre manager outside of a camp attempted to draw the color line in his ardent war profitering career, the only manly thing any officer could do was to resent the insult to Uncle Sam's uniform, if not to his person. Write your Congressman, Protest to him. Write the War Department. Write the officer himself at Camp Funston and try to show them that his logic is unreasonable, unAmerican and impossible. There are white officers in high command who have the highest respect for the Negro officers and their men's ultimate development, while others think that both Negro officers and men should be hermits in or der to avoid trouble. 2 "PLANT FOR VICTORY" IS HOOVER'S WAR CRY TO SUGAR BEET MEN Colorado is up to bat again. This time the state is facing a shortage in the production of sugar beets, and unless she hits the ball by planting a larger sugar beet acreage than ever before Victory will swing in the balance with Defeat. The price paid the growers last year for sugar beets was $7.25 a ton. This year a federal food commission composed of representative growers and manufacturers made a flat rate of $10 a ton. This rate was decided upon, not to increase the price of sugar to the consumer or to enrich the grower, but to encourage the planting of sugar beets and decrease the danger of a sugar shortage in 1919. The importance of increasing Colorado's sugar beet production during the coming year was emphasized by a telegram received by the Colorado Food Administration April 11, from Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator. The telegram read in part: "At the request of the sugar beet growers, the Food Administration, through the inquiry of various commissions undertook to use its best offices to secure a price for beets which would return a fair profit to growers throughout the beet regions. "The factories having agreed to pay the prices recommended and upon a basis much higher than was before received by the growers, and in accord with the demands of the majority of growers I do trust that the growers will support the nation's sugar supply by enlarged planting. "Our shortage of shipping and the necessities of the allies make larger demands upon our domestic sugar next year than ever before and the maintenance of our own industry is primary not only to the well-being of the growers but the nation as a whole." The fact that the land owners in best sections receive one-fourth of the gross proceeds of the beet crop, which on the basis of a sixteen-ton yield would mean $40 per acre, is counted on to influence landlords to continue to raise beets. Huge Surplus Crop of Potatoes to Be Eaten "Potato Week" With 70,000,000 pounds of potatoes in Colorado in danger of being wasted because of lack of demand, the U. B. Food Administration has set aside the week of April 21 to 27 as "Potato Week." The depressing shortage of wheat makes "Potato Week" particularly timely, because potatoes have been recognized by eminent food authorities as practically equivalent to wheat in food values. One medium sized potato contains as much nourishment as one large slice of wheat bread. Belgium and Italy are starving France and England standing off the German with blood are crying to America for bread. And every potato eaten means that much more wheat which can be shipped overseas to feed those who have given all except life to stop the invader. Arrangements are being made with retail grocers to put potatoes on the market at the lowest possible price and householders are urged to lay in as large a supply as possible, and serve them at at least two meals a day. All over Colorado, clubs are serving "Potato" luncheons; domestic science classes are having "Potato" lessons; conservation classes are giving "Potato" demonstrations. Everything, in short, which will encourage consumers to help save this tremendous 70,000,000 pound potato surplus is being done. Pinto Bean Leaves For Allied Armies The first shipment of pinto beans to America's allies rolled out of Colorado, last Thursday night, and with its going the first glimpse of the great European export market was given to Colorado pinto growers. Fifty carloads—4,000,000 pounds of beans were ordered from Colorado by allied governments for immediate use overseas, and O. H. Liebers, head of the bean division of the Colorado Food Administration, announces that this order is merely preliminary to those which will undoubtedly follow. The British government has already placed large army orders for canned pinto beans. "If Colorado is going to come up to the demands which these first orders indicate will be made upon her during the coming year the 1917 bean acreage must be greatly increased," Bean Commissioner Liebers has announced and added that there was absolutely no danger of Colorado having an over production of pinto beans. CONSERVATION EXPERT TO GIVE FOOD ADVICE Miss Sarah Stone of the Colorado Food Administration announces that she will answer any question concerning food or supply conservation recipes to any housewife who will write to her at 504 Interstate Trust building, Denver. Much paper and printer's ink has been used in telling why America must save, but too little has been said concerning the "How of Saving." Miss Stone has recently been secured by the Food Administration to answer that question. Now once again you'll have a chance to buy yourself a bond, and help the allies out in France, in Belgium and beyond. In April we'll uncle Ursie Sam will start another loan, and are you ready, as I am, to put up plunk and bone? It's little we old gents can do to help our armies win, but we can certainly come through with packages of tin. When everything is said and done, 'tis wealth will win the scrap, and there should be a flow of "mon" from every loyal chap. You are not asked to give away or sacrifice your dust; you lend to Uncle Sam—and, say, he's surely safe to trust! You are not asked to lend for fun; good interest you receive; if you've no bonds, when war is done, you'll rend your robe and grieve. Ah, then you'll hang your head in shame and sound a doleful note; you did not help to win the game and get the Prussian goat. But there is none with soul so dead he will not buy a bond, e'en though he has to cut out bread, and see his cookstove pawned. Let's march up cheerful, bilthe and quick, and buy, and buy, and buy; for thus we'll make the Teuton sick, and soak him in the eye. The German Autocracy has said: "What else matters but victory for us?" Humanity says: "What else matters but the safety of the world for Freedom, for Democracy, for Women, for Children, for You?" The farmers of captured France, Belgium, Italy and Montenegro are bearing the Kaiser's burdens. The Prussian military boot trampled under foot the rural homes, making the captured farmers slave for the armies that over-ran them and wrecked their homes. America is but across the sea from the spirit of a soulless monarch. It is not that far, for the emissaries of the German army are planted in this country and the spies of Autocracy are about us. To the farmer of America who has prospered there is but one salvation—the lending of his surplus to the Government that must assure safety for the American homestead.

THE YANK IS WORTH TWO OF THE HUN; BUT A WAR THRIFT STAMP PUTS OIL IN THE LAMP THAT WILL BURN AFTER VIC- TORY'S WON. GOING THE LIMIT. The Officers' and Soldiers' Struggle in the Army. The Negro is being assured that all all is well. There is much talk about what he has done in the past and how how he can be depended upon in the future. He is being lauded as an American citizen who always rises equal to the emergency. While being filled with enthusiasm by hired enthusiasts it is well for him to pause, face the facts squarely and use his common sense. "We are at war with Austria, yet Austrian alien enemies have more privileges than Negro soldiers in uniform. The fact is that democracy is being made a farce and mockery right here in America. It is time for the Negro to cease fooling himself or when the war is over he will be lost." Why should the 92nd Division, because they are Colored, refrain from going anywhere so long as they are gentlemen and behave accordingly? The question is not only legal rights, and "policy" (whatever that means in this connection) but downright self-respect. Every theatre war profiteer in, about and around the camps could easily enough "advertise" this disrespect to not only Negro officers and their men but reflect on the whole race because of somebody's policy of prejudice and hermitage. Suppose that such is the case, will that "policy" or backward cowardice help the officers, their men in developing courage or will it teach the white profiteer, be he alien or pro-German sympathizer or prejudiced citizen the "world's greatest democracy" justice and plain equality between man and man race and race? Has it come to this, that Negros to be officers or members of the Negro Division must yield up their self-respect before yielding up their lives in a world's war for democracy of races? What does the commanding officer mean by losing self-respect for himself and race if he can place the "general good" (how can good come out of evil mind and heart) over his personal pleasure and convenience? Here the argument is faulty because Negro officers are trying to create maintain and perpetuate the same high standard of respect and consideration among their fellows as exists among the white officers and companies. We agree with this part of his argument "that sergeant is right and white theatre manager wrong, but not his conclusion that the sergeant is guilty of the GREATER WRONG in doing ANYTHING no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity. The writer failed to remember that if the stirring up of race ```markdown ``` $2.00 1.00 .50 on rate, all subscriptions must be paid is sent to subscribers are lost or stolen. or when due, inform us by postal card date of the missing number.

Let us have trouble now. The Division Commander wants to impress upon the Negro officers and men that they are Negroes and that nine-tents of the public is white. What does that matter if America is just, honest, sincere in her world-wide fight for democracy wherein the rights of the minority are just as sacredly preserved as the rights of the majority? The same is true in any republic as a fundamental principle, otherwise might, as the kaiser thinks, makes right. Apply this argument to a Belgian division or to a Japanese division. The Star disagrees with him in saying that the white public can or will ever have an inclination to break up a division of Negro troops because they ask for self-respect and decent consideration. The same argument can apply to the Negro civil rights law passed, considered and adjudged by white men who give damages to Negroes in civil life for violation of their legal rights. No, if America can afford to go on record as such a nation, the quicker the Negro finds it out the better. No record can be produced where even the courts desire to become so narrow and prejudicial to Negroes. This whole matter looks to the Star as an act of jealousy and prejudice. The whole matter summed up appeals to the Star as "be hermits and cowards to avoid trouble with war profiteers." By T. R. Lee, 24th Inf. Columbus N. M. The bloody war still rages, on the battlefields of Ypres. Even in Franzela Valley, and on the Dorgnes. The Boches failed at Verdun, in striving to win fame! And again the Allies folled them, in their attempt in old Lorraine. The mighty guns are dealing death and destruction in their wake, and the lives of Allied comrades are the grim prizes at stake. They laughed at death in Fianders and along the bloody Rheims, but nothing on earth can stop them but victory, so it seems. They're holding the line at Luneville like brother hand in hand, in this struggle for Democracy and freedom for the land! Through death, hell and destruction they've fought on to LaFere, and encouraging them to go onward are the ones at home so dear. They've razed the trenches at Armas they've died like men at Ronssay, and they'll hold them at all odds without a waver, without a sway. Across the lines in No Man's Land comes a vision, of old Berlin, and the Allies, with America, victorious, will march in. GET A PICTURE OF Y. W. C. A QUARTETTE AND DOUBLE QUARTETTE FREE.

We pray his speedy recovery. THE PROTEST: LET NO SUCH DECISION STAND. I desire to protest against the ruling and decision in the case wherein a Colored officer, or soldier, must swallow discrimination without protest and do humbly yet strenuously petition the War Department to change any such ruling or decision which is not based upon a man's moral or legal right of action, use or enjoyment of a privilege. I further protest because such a decision is vicious in principle, unjust in operation in an army of democracy and un-American in suggestion. (Signed) COLORADO SPRINGS The sick list of the week includes Revs. P. A. Pinkney and H. J. Brvant; Mesdames Luin Wallace, Lizzie Watson, James Gant. B. Price; Misses Elsie Nicks and Loucille Turner.

Twenty-five hundred Negroes greeted Bishop Thos. Gallor recently in Memphis to show their appreciation of his efforts in their behalf. Considerable excitement prevailed in Norfolk, Va., recently, when three United States sailors with blacked faces were arrested to represent colored men. This may lead to a solution of the mystery of crime laid at the door of colored men. It is said by those interested in the religious welfare of the men at the front, a few things count: God, Christ, the Bible, and Eternity. Mr. Claude Slay, 220 years old, is sick at No. 535 L street, on the creek, in a destitute condition, is being cared for by S. R. Helm, J. D. Epps and C. Caldwell.

J In the upper photo one of the cooks on the North Dakota is operating a meat slicer that cuts bacon with the least possible wastage. Fat is fuel for fighters. Bacon is badly needed in the allied armies and navies. The allied needs in pork products are 150,000,000 pounds monthly, three times as much as before the war.

The intrinsic humor possessed by inanimate objects is a study in itself. A person has but to lift up a string of sausages to make us smile. There must be some curious association of ideas, writes Rob Wagner in the Saturday Evening Post, that has always made of sausages a favorite prop for the comedian. The popularity of spaghetti as a laugh provoker probably lies in the great difficulty of eating it with dignity. Because of some strange significance, lawnmowers and baby carriages are potential of much mirth. Inanimate objects are not the only facetious things in life; among the fruits and vegetables we find are comedians. We have a complete flora and fauna of comedy that every director is supposed to know. The edible props of pleasantry are the cabbage, prune and onion; while among the animals, the jackass and the mule get the longest laughs, though I believe the goat produces the strongest. We had a stupid director who thought because a Shetland pony offered such a tremendous contrast to a mole he could hitch the two together and get a lot of laughs. It cost a bunch of money to convince this unanalytical chump that people regard these diminutive horses much as they do beautiful children; they are too sweet and cute to be subjected to the slightest indignity. Sheer beauty is never funny. MONK FIRST TO USE CORK Discovery That Is Universally Made Use Of Was the Result of Chance. The discovery of cork for stoppers is ascribed to the monk Don Perignon, who managed the cellars of the abbey of Haut Villiers in 1675. One day he ran short of the usual stoppering, which was pads of hemp or cloth steeped in oil, and being something of a botanist, he had noticed that the outer layer of the bark of certain species of the oak tree was of comparatively soft wood. He procured some of this porous material and shaped it so that it would fit into some partially fermented bottles of wine. With childlike confidence we await, undisturbed, our Father's answer to our prayers, knowing he will give us that which with fuller knowledge we should ourselves seek.—Bishop West cott.

THOS. HAZELL S. T. B. Sunday the 7th and 14th Rev. Thos Bell and Dr. Randolph respectfully, occupied the pulpit of the People's church and preached to the edification of the congregation. We thank these brethern for the services rendered. The Presbyterial year just closed has been one of the most eventful in the history of the People's Church. There has been a heightening of the spiritual tone of the congregation in a marked way. During the year the membership raised three thousand dollars short of less than fifty dollars. The benevolences by the People's Churches for the year offered a challenge to the other churches of the Presbytery. Dr. F. E. Bancroft, chairman of the commission having charge of the People's Church commended the Presbytery and congregation most extravagantly. The Presbytery of Denver, at its annual convention last Tuesday, in the First Presbyterian Church of Aurora, specially considered the need of the work at Deerfield. The name of the Church was changed from the Union Church of Deerfield to the Chapelton Presbyterian Church of Deerfield. Recommendation for a building valuing $900 for the Presbyter Rev. O. J. McLeod was unanimously approved. The reorganization of the work was supported by Presbytery with Elders Eli Burrell and Wm. T. Fields composing the Session, J. A. Thos-Hazell, J. J. Houston and Eli Burrell Trustees. Realizing the financial needs of that work the salary of the Minister Rev. O. J. McLeod was increased by Presbytery to the sum of one hundred dollars. The Women's department of the work of Presbytery observed their sessions at the Mt. View Boulevard Presbyterian Church, Park Hill, Tuesday. Representations from the People's Church were as follows: Mesdames M. E. Marrison, M. Greer, F. Mason for the Missionary Society; Mesdames Goldie and Lilly Hughes. Misses J. A. Wilson and Jennie Harris for the Hazell Chapter of the Westminster Guild. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH David E. Over, D.D., Minister, Telephones Y. 6007, Y. 9377. Our revival services will continue this week. Sedvices were well attended last week in these meetings. Eight souls accepted and confessed Christ as their personal Saviour. By such victories we are assured God heard our intercession of "His children." Sunday afternoon the pastor desires to preach to the men. Every man is invited to hear him; let every brother manifest his interest in the salvation of souls by bringing an unsaved friend into this meeting—to do this will be worth your effort, for where deep concern is manifested by the church, there is sure to be a glorious ingathering of souls to Christ. That the sermons preached by Rev. Over and the personal after service talks are both persuasive and effec- tual are evidenced in the number of souls that have accepted salvation during the past week. Let us secure the attendance of unsaved friends in these meetings. The co-operation of the friends from other congregations is welcomed. Let us not forget that prayer avails for salvation of others when every other means seem to fail, and that God's storehouse of wisdom prayer and grace is inexhaustible, and with the key of prayer and faith we unlock every door.

Every good day that passes tends to kindle in the breasts of the croquet lovers a desire to get out and "tap the ball." Members of the club will soon get together and put the ground in order for the present season. A number of names for membership in the club has already been handed in. On account of the great hail, rain, and electrical storm last Sunday afternoon it was impossible to have any meeting of the men. The Glee Club is under great obligations to the public for the hearty support given the club at its first initial appearance at Shorter Church last Sunday evening; and that, too, in spite of the very heavy storm which had passed over just an hour before. At the regular weekly meeting of the club on Wednesday evening three new members joined the club. There were twenty present. Everybody was happy and glad. A checker club was organized Tuesday evening, with nine members. The officers of the club mean to develop the game by creating new life into its ranks. The address which was to have been delivered by the Rev. T. S. McMorris of Scott Church last Sunday afternoon will be given next Sunday instead. All will be welcome.

Maguinez made many friends among the rank and file of our church. Like her husband she rendered us good service. She played the role of pianist. During the revival season at Campbell Chapel, A. M. E.

Must Cut Use Of Wheat by One-Half America Consumed 42,000,000 Bushels Monthly. From Now Until Harvest Must Use Only 21,000,000. RATION PER PERSON IS $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ POUNDS OF WHEAT PRODUCTS WEEKLY Military Necessity Calls for Greater Sacrifice Here—Allied War Bread Must Be Maintained—Our Soldiers and Sailors to Have Full Allowance. If we are to furnish the Allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month, as against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent. of our normal consumption. This is the situation as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washington. Reserving a margin for distribution to the army and for special cases, leaves for general consumption approximately 1½ pounds of wheat products weekly per person. The Food Administration's statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers' bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore, requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can the poor. In addition, our population in the agricultural districts, where the other cereals are abundant, are more skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have available a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and barley, as substitutes, has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. To effect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following cent. of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should 1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, ples, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. 2. Public eating places and clubs to observe two wheatless days per week, Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, ples, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces of wheat flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eating establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for each ninety meals served, thus conforming with the limitations requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound loaf where one pound was sold before, and corresponding proportions in other weights. We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 per Resolved that a copy be sent to the bereaved family, a copy be spread on the minutes of the temple and also sent to the weekly papers.

Ward. cent, of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat products whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to cook in their own households cannot subsist perfectly with the use of less wheat products than one and one-half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households in the country to follow this additional programme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a proportion of substitutes. In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are absolutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operation of the public by a further limitation of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time to secure as nearly equitable distribution as possible. With the arrival of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until then we ask for the necessary patience, sacrifice and co-operation of the distributing trades. Last Sunday night the quartet appeared at Central Baptist church. Despite the inclement weather a large and appreciative audience was out to encourage our girls. This group of girls should be an inspiration to other girls and all Denver should appreciate and encourage our own. One new member in fifty-two weeks is what each member is asked to bring into our association this year.

Public eating places are to be put under further severe restrictions necessary to the conservation of food. Hotel and restaurant men from all over the country were summoned to Washington last week to attend a conference called by Herbert Hoover, national food administrator. The call for the meeting urged preparation of data by which the use of white flour could be reduced to an absolute minimum if not discontinued entirely until after the next harvest. The conference was attended by Calvin H. Morse, chairman of the Rocky Mountain hotel and restaurant's division, and Elmer E. Lucas, chairman of the Colorado division, and a number of hotel and restaurant men. W. R. Pritts, chairman of the bakers' division of the Colorado Food Administration, attended a conference of bakers from all over the country in Chicago last week. Mr. Pritts announced that there is to be a nationwide organization of bakers to support the Food Administration program in every possible way. WOMEN'S WORK COMMENDED. Federal Food Administrator Stearns Says Bread is Holding the Front Line. "The toil and sacrifice that the women of the countries associated with us in this war have endured and are enduring none but themselves will ever know," states Thomas B. Stearns, federal food administrator for Colorado. "Women whose nearest approach to farm labor was to train rose vines to grow over their porches and pick fresh sweet peas for their drawing-room table are doing the heavy work of a farm laborer. They are ploughing, raising crops, feeding and tending ilvestock, keeping cattle barns and farm machinery in repair. Besides the farming the women are practically running the food factories, keeping them going night and day as long as they can obtain the raw products with which to work. Down to the last child these people have learned something that very few people here in America have as yet learned. It is this: The strength of the first line trenches depends on the strength of the bread line. As long as the women can hold the bread line under the shock of war the men can hold the trenches. When the women fall the men fall." HOW THEY NEED AMERICA. Message From Mrs. Burnett-Smith of England—Read It. American housewives troubled over the fifty-fifty regulations and changing food rules in this country, will be interested in the message of Mrs. Burnett-Smith of England has for them showing what their English sisters have to contend with. Mrs. Smith says: "When I left England two months ago the food situation was terrible. Through letters from home I learn that it is becoming more acute every day. "We of England ask you of America to understand how very tired we are and how we want this great nation to stand solidly behind us. We have been robbed of our peace. Of light there is little left us except that which we get in the daytime. Sleep, we get in snatches over in England. "Please do not think we are tired of fighting. It isn't that. Had you Americans never got into this war we would have fought on just the same, but, thank God, you came in, and we need you desperately. You American men and women must help us if we are to stand to our guns." Great Wheat Stocks Isolated. It's the shortage in ships that is putting the Allies and the United States on wheat rationa. Great stocks of wheat are isolated in India, and Australia. At great sacrifice in ship space and use the Allies are forced to secure some wheat from Argentina. On January 1, Australia had stored 100,000,000 bushels of wheat that was ready for export—but there were no ships. Then came the new crop with an exportable surplus of 80,000,000 bushels. Now Australia has approximately 180,000,000 bushels waiting for ships. India, at the same time, had 70,000,000 bushels of wheat stored for export. During April 50,000,000 bushels more out of the new crop will be added to the pile. Argentina closed the last shipping season with 11,000,000 bushels of wheat left in the stock available for export. The new crop will add 185,000,000 to the left over. It is not a problem that the wheat does not exist in the world—it is entirely a problem of shipping, which has thrown on America the obligation of dividing our stock with the Allies.

When Mr. Moorefield Story, former president of The American Bar Association and now president of our National body, appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court last May to argue the Loomisville segregation case, he positively refused to accept a cent for his service, and later, when the Supreme Court handed down that memorable decision declaring all such ordinances to be unconstitutional, he again refused to accept money tendered him by grateful negroes, and said the only tribute of honor he asked was that we build our membership up to at least 50,000. Should we not, as citizens proud of our growing into the fuller enjoyment of our rights, freely and unstintedly pay this humble tribute to Moorefield Story, the eminent Boston attorney who knows men by their worth and not by their color. He is our foremost white champion of manhood rights in America today. He is the very re-incarcation of Sumner and Garrison, those great yearning soils to whom God spoke. The Denver Branch asks the citizens of this place to do their part. May 1st is the date set for this number to be acquired. Join yourself. Ask your white friends to join. In asking for a membership of 50, 000, Mr. Story virtually asks that many Negroes to clasp hands and stand in a solid phalanx for their own uplift, protection and advancement. To the American Woodmen members and others who wish to join at this time: Your deputy desires to urge you to make a special effort to enlarge our membership in this camp. Our goal is 300. Everyone who is interested phone York 4612J. S. B. W. May, Deputy. NOTICE!

COLORADO CITY NEWS The baseball fans of Denver are to have a Colored baseball team, capable of delivering to all the brand of ball that has made the Colored teams of the East famous, if the plans of J. R. Woolridge are successful. Under the name of the A. B.

Fields, formerly with one of the crack teams of the South, W. W. Smith, formerly a star of the 25th U. S. Infantry and later with the St. Louis Giants, and a number of other fast men, who altogether are capable of playing a first class brand of ball and giving the fans their money's worth. At a recent meeting the folowing officers were elected: Manager, J. R. Woolridge, Captain, F. A. Fields, Secretary, J. E. Woods, Treasurer, W. W. Smith, Field Captain, Gilbert Zackery.

Colored People Delighted with New Discovery to Bleach the Skin Atlanta, Ga.—Says that recent tests have proven without doubt that swarthy or sallow complexions can be made light by a new treatment recently discovered by a man in Atlanta. Just ask your druggist for Cototone Skin Whitener. People who have ued it are amazed at its wonderful effect. Rid your face of that awful dark color or greasy appearance in a few minutes. It costs so little that you can't afford to be without it. Just think how much prettier you would look with that old dark skin gone and new, soft, light skin in its place. Men and women today must care for their complexions to enter society. If your druggist will not supply you with Cocotone Skin Whitener, send 25c for a large package to Cocotone Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Two thousand men had paraded at one of our great base camps previous to going "up the line." The inspection was complete, and in a few minutes the order, "Quick March," to the railway station would be given. Just at that moment, while all stood at "attention," fully equipped, a voice began to sing. Jesus, the very thought of Thee With gladness fills my breast. And like a wave of melody the song passed from rank to rank, until every man seemed to be singing. The hymn was sung right through to the last verse the officers, meantime, looking on in silence. How many of these men have already looked into the face of him of whom they sang? There was a Christian association hut in that camp at which this hymn was a great favorite with the men—surely much better than the senseless "Tipperary."—D. J. Findlay in The Christian. Earl Has Railroad at Home. Police constable the marquis of Downshire, the owner of about 120,000 acres, who has motored 50,000 miles in the course of his duties as a "special," is a practical engine driver. In the grounds of Hillsborough castle, County Down, he has a miniature railway. The small train consists of an engine, one carriage and a guard's van; if need be he can travel at the rate of 40 miles an hour. The marquis has a fairly long string of Christian names—Arthur Wills John Wellington Blundell Trumbull Hill—and part of these he owes to the marriage of his ancestor, the second marquis.
