CATHOLIC PRELATE DISGRACES PULPIT Advocates Disgusting Action Against Race St. Louis, Mo.—One of the most disgusting displays of racial prejudice that was ever pulled off by a member of the cloth—of any denomination—was the disgusting bunk handed out by the enemy alien skunk who president over the sacred destinies of St. Ann's Catholic church, Whittier and Page streets, this city. Addressing his communicants at mass on a recent Sunday morning, according to the St. Louis Argus of recent date, this would-be assassin of hum an rights who is masquering as a "Shower to the way above," got rid of the following few lines: "The Negroes are hovering over the white people like aeroplanes over a bat tlefield." He advised his hearers to rock the "invaders" out of the neighborhood and, walking to the front of the chancel, he announced that "if there are any Negroes in the audience I want them to stay away from this church." The fact that there has been an instance of the stoning of the home of a Race family in the neighborhood lends importance to the talk of this local "kaiser," and if there is any further trouble along that line he should be held accountable for it. Many of the communicants left in disgust at the time of this fellow's frenzied outburst, some of them expressing their intention of staying away as this trouble maker has any connection with St. Ann's church. There have been many injustices and crimes committed connubial pariah places himself in the criminal class as surely by his utterances as if he attempted to put his nefarious ideas into practice. The St. Louis authorities should keep a sharp eye on this party and the enlightened flock which he represents. To Pass Test Musically, Y. W. C. A. Girls Ready The Denver Star has been singing the praises of the single and double quartet of Y. W. C. A. girls, and Tuesday night the Y. W. C. A. girls are going over the top to show the musical lovers of Denver, that right here in Denver that there is valuable ability, undeveloped refinement and as good musical timbre as anywhere if we will but give our encouragement, lend our support and make them big and strong. If you will notice Mme. Hicks-LeNoir has taken voices hitherto unknown in the musical world and you alone will be left to judge what she has done and is doing toward the final development of her glee club and chorus of sweet voices of people we know. Ten months ago the "Y" had no kind of vocal organization, to day they have a pianist, duos, trios, quartettes and sextettes all because the Denver public white and black have encouraged them. Tuesday night at Shorter will be the time when you can judge for yourself. Let every one attend because of the assurance given by the entire "Y" Sunday to sell more tickets and redouble their energy on the account of the fact that Mrs. Anna Hicks, the manager and promoter is lying helpless with her life hanging between life and death in St. Joseph's hospital and will be unable to attend. Every woman ought to be spurred on to show what loyalty to a sick woman can teach the world. Attend Tuesday night at Shorter church and help them go over the top.

DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1918 NEGROES IN FRANCE It is estimated that there are now fully 25,000 Colored men in France with the American army. Among the Colored regiments there are the 15th New York, the 8th Illinois and the 372d, the latter being made up in part of the 9th Ohio Battalion the 1st Separate Battalion of Washington, D. C., and militia companies from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. To these 10,000 fighting men can be added, perhaps, fully that number of non-combatants, stevedores, etc. In addition there are many Colored Americans "over there," "The Black Phalanx' will soon be heard from displaying the traditional heroism of black troops in battle. The Irish with representation in the English parliament fighting against conscription and the American Negro with out representation in congress yet waiving even every right to exemption in his eagerness to fight for his country ought to impress the government of the United States with some idea of the value of its black citizenry. NEGRO GENTLEMAN DEFENDS COLORED LADY Washington, D. C.—Rufus G. Byers of the Howard Theater happened to be on the corner of Fourteenth and You streets recently when a Virginian threw Miss Cora Belle McPherson aside and struck her, as she was entering a street car in front of him, with the observation, "Wait until a white man enters first. I am a Virginian." Mr. Byers struck the Virginian a tremen blow in the face which settled the gentleman, and then assisted Miss McPherson on the car. His friends have showered congratulations upon Mr. Byers for his courgeous upon courtly conduct, which can be all the more appreciated when the uppishness and insolence of a certain sort of white men towards colored people. Male and people male and female, is considered, SOUTHERN JUSTICE Raleigh, N. C.—Last week, while acting Judge Bunn was was presiding over the city court and having a case where in a Negro chauffeur was charged with having violated a city ordinance; the prosecuting witness (being the city detective). The detective failed to substantiate his charge and the Negro chauffeur was discharged. The detective be came enraged at the ruling of the judge and fancied that a Negro witness setting in the court room, made "face" at him, whereupon he (the detective) rushed up to the Negro and struck him in the face with his fist and at the same time placed his hand upon his hip pocket as an emphasis that he would shoot if resistance was made. All this took place in the court room, while the judge was sitting on the bench. A police officer took hold of the Negro and shoved him out of the court room. The Negro went away without making any resistance to the assault. About three hours afterwards this Negro was arrested by a police office and placed in the county jail, by order of the acting judge of the city court, 30 days for contempt of court. This incident took place on Saturday morning. On the following Monday a delegation of Colored men called on the acting city judge and begged him to release the Negro from prison—asserting that the prisoner had done no wrong, but that the detective who assaulted the Negro was guilty of contempt of court. The judge is sued an order directed to the sheriff to turn the Negro loose. The detective is still "on his job." In the meantime the Commissioner of Public Safety, A. H. Mooneyham, who is in charge of the police department, has received a set of resolutions from the Raleigh branch of "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People," asking that the recent city court episode between Detective Tom Crabtree and Sam Townes, will be given a public investigation at the earliest possible moment. COLORED MAN BUYS $12,000 LIBERTY BONDS Macon, Ga.—Mr. C. H. Douglass, sole owner of the Douglass Theatre, cafe, pool room, hotel and barber shop, and prominent in all enterprises, has purchased all told $12,000 of Liberty bonds. Mrs. C. H. Douglass, who is chairman of the woman's committee, has already taken subscriptions for $8,000 and with the extensive drive which has been planned all the towns will be thoroughly canvassed. Mrs. Douglass subscribed $1,000 individually. She deserves much credit and THE IDLER AND LOAFER MUST GO Denver to have Stringent Ordinance Work, Starve or Move, the Order If the City Council passes the contemplated ordinance which has been suggested by the mayor and the Industrial department of the city, poolrooms and dives of all kinds will be closed and hit the hardest. This war has developed to the point that all men must work and produce something for our soldiers who are in the trenches. Our military forces need fuel, food and munitions of war. In this hour of peril when all that is sacred and dear to any human heart is at stake, free and patriotic men ought not to permit loafers and idlers to consume that which they do not produce or eat food which other men grow. If you do not work, you should not eat; earn nothing, eat nothing; yet every idler and loafer is aiding the Kaiser and is a promoter of German propaganda, for the reason that he eats and wears without earning and producing foodstuffs and clothing that might be used for the for the feeding and clothing of our army and the allies, if the idler would earn or produce enough to feed and clothe himself. In other words, the idler and loafer is not pulling his own weight, but is sapping the strength and using the power furnished by some one else. Every man who walks the streets of the community in which he lives and has no visible means of support should be held to a strict accountability for his stewardship. He should be made to tell he how he subsists, where he sleeps, where he eats and from whence he gets the money to pay his bills. There is no dearth of labor in every avenue, not because of any scarcity of man-power, but because thousands of men both white and black-thave learned how to get their living without working. We shall conclude with this editorial from the Atlanta Independent. The suggestion of Mr. Stanley to close up the pool-rooms during all hours of the day and the suggestion of another to adopt the card system to check up all the people who work and those who do not work, or some other idea, must be resorted to, to save our country from an industrial and economic famine. The soldiers in France and the Allies must be supported. The civilians at home, who are discharging their patriotic duty in an effort to promote the sale of bonds, war savings and thrift stamps must live; and the millions who are engaged in other means contributing to the winning of the war, who do not produce food stuffs, must be provided for. Our present agricultural force in this country cannot produce enough food stuffs to feed the people at home, the soldiers in the trenches and spare enough to keep soul and body together among the allies, if thousands of men are to fill the poolrooms, dives and other places of idleness all the working hours of the day. The newspayers are full af advertisements every day for working men at wages that professional men and bank clerks do not receive. Yet our factories, our plants, our farms, the domestic service and other vocations go begging for unskilled laborers. We have just read an advertisement from Willingham and Tift, which is is typical of the advertisements appearing every day in daily papers, calling for twenty women to work in the lumber yard and in the mills handling heavy timber and doing male work; while the poolrooms of Atlanta are filled to the brim with thousands of hale and hearty, able bodied, "slick" men who will not work for Twenty Dollars a week. These men have no visible means of support, half of whom could not account to the police where they sleep or eat. Yet they are well dressed, and that while the women do the work. If the women are to take the places of the Negro men in the fields, in the shops, in the mills, in the coal yards, on the drays and other places as the white women have taken the places of the white men in the stores, dining rooms, restaurants, as clerks, and in other vocations, of what service are the men at all to the community? Are they all to be ornaments to idle, to loaf and to prowl around at night promoting crime and idemoralizing the community? No, the idler and loafer must go. praise for her untiring efforts of patriotism. Each employe of the theater has willingly taken Liberty bonds.

Take, for instance, the case of a man from Lille, a soldier, Waeltele by name and only twenty-three. He had done pretty well, for the youngster had already his own printing shop in that northern French town, which is still inside the German lines. In the trenches Waeltele developed tuberculosis, and he was sent to a hospital at Grenoble. There he was considered incurable, and after the usual three months of treatment he was granted his 14 cents a day pension. Said his father army doctor, "My son, you can perhaps cure yourself if you will live in the mountains, if you will eat plenty of nourishing food and, above all, if you don't worry." Waetele should have smiled, but he didn't. He was thinking of his baby and his wife—and his 14 cents. "Don't worry!" The humor of it entirely escaped him. Then the Red Cross stepped in. He was found by an American woman with some American Red Cross money for just such cases, and within a few hours he no longer had need to worry. He was sent to the mountains at Lamure, in the French Alps, happy in the knowledge that his family was being cared for by these amazingly kind Americana. And now the army doctor's words are coming true. Waetele's lung is healing fast, and he is dreaming of another printing shop and of living again some day with that little family. There have been over 400,000 new cases of tuberculosis in France since the war started, and to care for these cases and check the White Plague's spread is merely one of the big jobs the American Red Cross has set out to accomplish. FATHER AT WAR, TRAGEDY AT HOME to a Soldier. The father kisses his wife and kiddies goodby, shoulders his gun and marches away to war. For a time the current of life flows smoothly for the soldier's little family. Then comes the tragedy. Mother is taken ill. The little brood of brothers and sisters is helpless. No father to turn to. A helpless mother! To whom can the American soldier's family look at this critical period? Must a brave man's loyalty to his country mean desolation and suffering to those nearest and dearest to him? No! Emphatically no! The American people will not permit the families of their soldiers and sailors to suffer because their breadwinners are fighting for their country. And so the Red Cross Department of Civilian Relief has created a nation-wide organisation for home service for the families of soldiers and sailors. Under the banner of "Home Service" patriotic men and women have enrolled and are devoting themselves to the noble task of helping soldiers' families to meet and adjust the problems of everyday life and aiding them to maintain the standards of health, education and industry. Home Service—True Service. Home service means keeping the soldier's children well and in school. It means tiding the family over financial troubles, arranging the household budget, meeting insurance premiums, adjusting a mortgage, bringing medical aid and legal advice to bear at the right moment. In short "Home Service" is true service, in that it provides the warm handclasp of friendship rather than the humiliation of charity. It calls for sympathetic understanding and intelligent consideration of the most vital needs of the soldier's family. The Red Cross is pledged to "Home Service" wherever needed in the United States. In each chapter of the Red Cross there will be a home service section, under competent hands, whose mission will be to protect the welfare of the soldiers' and sailors' homes and to safeguard the normal development of their families in employment and in ideals of self help and self reliance. "The work that the Red Cross is doing in France this winter is worth more than a million and a half American soldiers in the lines in France today." —General Petain.

My dear Co-Worker: PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Position counts. Fill out the inclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Bend each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection.

By an Eye Witness MAUDE RADFORD WARREN This is the picture I saw last January in France, and you have mercifully changed it! Color enough there was—above, the eternal blue; in the background, fields of living green, which the German shells could not prevent from creeping back; in the middle foreground, a long village street so battered and burned that it was merely a canyon of cream-colored ruins. In front of one little broken house were four figures in black—an old woman, poking among the fallen stones in a vain search for something that could be used; a younger woman, seated on what had once been a doorstep, with her face hidden in her arms; and a little boy and girl, who stared, half frightened, half curious, at the desolation about them. The little boy held in his thin hand a Red Cross flag. All four were pale and gaunt; the faces and bodies of the children showed none of the round curves that make the beauty of a child. This is their history: When the war broke out, Mme. Pellier, her mother and her four younger children were visiting her husband's mother in the north of France. Her husband and two elder sons were at home in Lorraine taking care of the summer crops. Then the war! The mother in-law of Mme. Pellier was ill and could not be left. Her old mother was afraid to travel to Lorraine with the full care of the four children. Before they could all start together the Germans invaded. Bad news is allowed to come into northern France, and so as the months passed Mme. Pellier learned that her village home had been bombarded and that her husband and two sons had been killed. Except for the Belgian Relief Commission, which operates in northern France also, she and her little ones would have starved outright. At the best they were undernourished. Then the great push began, and hopes for France grew high. But as the French soldiers advanced they had to bombard the northern towns. Mme. Pellier begged the Germans to let her go away with her children—even into Germany. This was refused. She tried to seek safety in some cellar whenever there was a bombardment. Nevertheless a shell killed two of her children. Found Her Home Gene. Home gone; husband gone; brave soldier sons gone; little, tender boys torn into shreds! That woman's face would have shown you what she had suffered—her face against the battered ruins the Germans had made. At last she and her mother and her two remaining children were repatriated. They knew the infinite relief of cross- HE GAVE HIS SHIRT OFF HIS BACK How an Italian Officer Traveling on Train Helped a New Born Baby. One of the ways to say that a man is good hearted is to descend to expressive Americanese slang and say "he'd give you his shirt." A young Italian officer did exactly that—gave the shirt off his back to a baby just born. It was during a flight of the Italian refugees just after the Italian army had been tricked by the Austrians. wretchedly poor and disheartened mother had been jammed in with the hundreds of other frightened Italians on the same train. Hungry, tired and miserable and in a frightfully weakened condition, she had scarcely sufficient clothes for herself, not to speak of properly caring for a newborn babe. The young officer stripped himself of his shirt, and there among this fright- An Italian officer, who had been a volunteer worker at the station when the crush came through, walked into the American Red Cross office at Bologna, Italy, and told of a poor young woman who had given birth to a baby op the train in which he was riding a few night's previously. They had been riding for over 16 hours, and the FULL MAN-SIZED HAM SANDWICH What Ten Minutes for Refreshments Means in Modern War. Think of what refreshments mean "over there." Think of the Sammle or the Pelu coming out of the trenches with a thirty-six hour length of absence, getting aboard the train or motor on the L. O. C.—the Limb of Communication between the great and the rear. Think of these tired follows Here's-the story : ing into Switzerland and then into Haute-Savole. From there they went to Lorraine. Mme. Pellier hoped that, even though her village had been bombarded, her home might have escaped. She found nothing except her bare fields. You changed that picture, you Americans, who can never be bombarded, who can never lose through war five out of the seven dearest to you. It was not your husband and children who died; not your wife who was widowed; not your little ones who came back, bony and tubercular, to a home that had vanished. Not yours, but only the grace of accident saved you; not yours, but it might have been and so you changed the picture. You could not build up with your own hands that heap of stones into a home, nor till the fields, nor bring Mme. Pellier back to hope and the children back to health. But through the Red Cross you saved the remnants of that family that had suffered as you might have suffered. Things the Red Cross Did. You took the mother of Mme. Pellier to a Red Cross hospital to be treated for anaemia. You took the little girl, who was in the first stages of tuberculosis, to a Red Cross sanitarium. You found a place which could be made habitable for Mme. Pellier near her fields which she was anxious to till. You gave her clothes and furniture; you got her seeds; you lent her implements. You sent a visiting doctor to watch over her health and that of her little boy. You sent nurses, who achieved the mighty victory of making her and the child take baths. Later you persuaded her to let him go to a refuge not far away where he could attend school and where she could often visit him. Through the help of your Red Cross hope and courage and ambition have come back to that woman, and she is rebuilding her family life. The biggest thing one human being can do for another you, if you are a helper of the Red Cross, have done for that mother. Red Cross! I saw its work everywhere in France—in fields and in blasted villages; in hospitals and schools and clinics; in refugees and vestiaries for widows and orphans and for the sick children of soldiers fighting to keep you safe from the enemy. This symbol of help has a double meaning now for Americans, who have always taken for granted the blessing of safety. It stands for your willingness to pay the price of exemption, of pity, of sympathy. A bitter, black road this road of war, but across it, like a beacon of hope, you have flung the Red Cross. wretchedly poor and disheartened mother had been jammed in with the hundreds of other frightened Italians on the same train. Hungry, tired and miserable and in a frightfully weakened condition, she had scarcely sufficient clothes for herself, not to speak of properly caring for a newborn babe. The young officer stripped himself of his shirt, and there among this frightened, half starved, forlorn crowd the poor Italian infant was wrapped in its first body covering. Mother and babe were afterwards nursed back to health, clothed and looked after by the American Red Cross. And this is only one small, isolated incident among thousands that come under the working of the Red Cross. stopping ten minutes for refreshments at a Red Cross Canteen. Think of a big cup of hot coffee and a wealth of man-sized ham sandwiches served by the Red Cross—women with the joy of service in their eyes. Think of ten minutes for refreshments within sound of the guns—such refreshments served by such women. Did ever a weary lad have such refreshments? Did ever a cup of coffee and a sandwich taste so good? It is service like this, the supplying of "food that's got a honey taste" at a time when a man's spirits are likely to be at lowest obb, that moved a Commanding General of the American Forces to write on December 30: "The extent of the work of the Red Cross is only limited by the number of members it has and the amount of funds available for its use."

Mrs. Adah Clements who, while she visited in Los Angeles, Calif., undertook the presentation of a "Fashion Show" on a more enlarged and extravaganza style for Rev. P. Gregg, pastor of the Independent Church of Christ. She netted the Deacons and Trustees $105.00, and secured the honor of raising more money than had been done before in the history of the church. After presenting Mrs. Clements with a silver rose boquet holder filled with beautiful California roses, the officers decided to make the event an annual affair. She has been invited already this year to repeat the event. Now comes Mrs. May Byrd from Pueblo in her pleasing triumph in successfully presenting an elaborate drill in Pueblo for the benefit of the A. M. E. church. A crowded house to standing room greeted her and after three weeks preparation, she won the plaudits of the Pueblo community for her rare skill and able management of such a big affair. A CALL FOR COLORADO WORKERS FOR THE RED CROSS. A very excellent representation of some of the best colored families of Denver attended the classes in the Gauze Rooms of the Museum building, corner of Fourteenth and Sherman. Members of different churches are enlisted. The volunteer spirit is fine. The work is of the best, but the members are not what we would like to see. At first the colored class numbered about eighteen faithful workers notwithstanding many demands and interruptions. But from now on the needs for wounded American boys will be much greater "over there," and let every loyal colored American woman come for one afternoon Friday of the week, or send some friend or substitute to take her place. The class assembles at 1 o'clock on Fridays at the Museum unit for instruction and work. The uniform of white apron and cap can be procured there at present. As we know and regret to say, some of the colored population of America have been tempted and tampered with by Prussian propaganda; but let Denver be freed from such criticism through a loyal and regular interest by the women, as well as the men, to promote the activities and plans of the country, among which there is none more appealing than the work at the Red Cross gauze rooms. Among those who still come and who do excellent work are the following: Mrs. Cora E. Robinson, 1421 Gilpin; Mrs. Goldie Hughes, 522 30th street; Mrs. Nellie Irby, 415 29th street; Mrs. Nellie Lander, 1845 Marion street; Mrs. E. C. Shipp, 315 Vine street; Mrs. Gullion, formerly of Memphis, Tenn., and Mrs. Pollard of Denver. We could mention other names of the class who seem not to have been able to attend of late, but would rather wait till their vacant chairs are filled and the familiar faces bright and smiling, as the busy fingers fold to help make the interminable dressings for the dear soldiers going to the western front. Notice is given that the gauze rooms are closed from the 1st of May for about ten days, but the newspapers will announce the exact day when they open up again. Watch for the announcement and don't forget the colored classes' special day is Friday, in the afternoon. Do your spring cleaning, etc., in the next ten days, then one and all determine to give at least this one afternoon to show your genuine patriotism at the Red Cross rooms; for acts, not words, prove what we stand for. The Denver Star is backing the Red Cross movement. Let everybody join in and help. WILL CLARK, AS HOST, SPREADS JOY AT GAY BANQUET—MORRISON'S FAMOUS ENTERTAINERS SWEEP CLEAN. If ever Denver had a swell banquet with the accustomed array of toast-makers, it was last Saturday night, when Mr. Wm. Clark spread joy to nearly fifty men at 2104 Arapahoe street. Every kind of fowl was present and cooked to a teasing brown with that "come back" queen's taste. The latest dishes served in the most up-to-the-minute order were abundant and greatly enjoyed. Light refreshments, with an abundance of cigars and cigarettes, were there in profuseness. Loganberry, grape juice and Cheyenne rain salines juleps took a prominent part. That night every man was a toastmaster around a beautiful oval table all decorated and laden down with "Clark" souvenirs. In the center was a huge "birthday cake" surrounded with American Beauties and flags. The speechmakers of the evening were H. Maxwell H. A. Cowan, Fred S. Burton, H. G. David, Edward Plummer, Doctors C. E. Perry, A. D. Stone, P. D. Lee and E. L. Cantey, Dr. T. E. McClain and Lawyer Geo. G. Ross, Geo. W. Halsey, Wendall Hamlet, O. T. Jackson, Clarence Holmes, A. H. Jackson, Sergeant T. T. Willis, Irving Williams, and Wm. French of Colorado Springs. Morrison's orchestra played until 5 a.m., when the "bunch" sang college songs, rooted their yells and said delicate toasts to oil, business, the ladies and the newspapers. This was undoubtedly the swellest event ever given in Denver. A photographer made pictures as the jolly bunch accompanied Morrison's orchestra, which played "Good Bye Miss 'Liza Jane," which swept the house. The Denver Star is glad to announce that Mr. Fred S. Burton, who so generously put a few friends of his into the Black Diamond Co. through the purchase of the Prudential Oil stock, that the Black Diamond Co. has merged with seven other companies and the eighth merger caused the Black Diamond Co. to be changed into the Franklin Oil Co. The Prudential Oil Co.'s stock sold for two cents per share; it rose to $7.75 per share. GOOD NEWS FOR OIL INVESTORS OF BLACK DIAMOND. Bulletin No. 2.

GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY. Five Hundred Have Already Been Sold—A Record Breaker. Everybody is talking about the Y. W. C. A. Double Quartet, which is composed of the following named persons: Naomi Brown, Margaret Morrison, Vernal Barnett, Jennie Le Noir, Alberta Moore, Adah Clements, Mabel Cole, and Leone Bray, accompanist. Denver will not be satisfied until she hears Vernal Barnett play the Negro melody, "He Rose," transcribed by J. Rosamond Johnson; while all the people who know and some to whom Naomi Brown is unknown, will be tickled to death to hear this young sweet soprano singer. Harry T. Burleigh's "The Glory of the Day Was in Her Face." When Adah Clements, our new contralto, sings "Little Mother of Mine," by Harry T. Burleigh, every hearer in her presence will be pleased to know what Denver talent can do. Then Leone Bray will greet the audience with that famous popular Negro melody, "Deep River," transcribed by Coleridge-Taylor, to the delight of everyone. One of the most attractive numbers upon the program is our hitherto unheard of lyric soprano, Marguerite Morrison, who will sing so sweetly "Just You," while another star in our musical horizon is Alberta Moore, with her soft, penetrating voice, will sing that always popular favorite, "Jean," by Harry Burleigh. All of these ladies are well known to you and they are appearing that night to show you what musical jewels Denver possesses. Tomorrow it may be your daughter. The Y. W. C. A. Quartet (single), who have sung to crowded houses in Colorado Springs and white churches in Denver, will sing Negro melodies in the first part of the program; and in order to bring forward additional talent, "The Sleeping Beauty" cantata wherein Bettina Jackson takes the part of the Princess; Mabel Cole, the part of the Prince, assisted by Jennie Le Noir and the chorus, will be presented to the gratification of Denver's severest musical critics. Get your tickets early. Eat potatoes and serve your country. Bake them, boil them, cream them, hash-brown them, roast them with meat, eat them cold in salad. Remember that every potato eaten by an American over here will mean that more wheat will be sent and eaten by an American over there. During "Potato Week" the movement of potatoes was the heaviest since the first of the year, according to a report submitted to the Colorado Food Administration by the U. S. Bureau of Markets, over 450 cars of potatoes were rolled to market during the week of April 21 to 27—"Potato Week." There are now in Colorado less than 450 cars of marketable potatoes in the state. But these 450 cars must be saved from spoiling, and every loyal American must help eat potatoes and SAVE WHAT for America's soldiers and the soldiers of the Allies. "A favorite idea with Lenine, frequently advanced in his Petrograd career, is that there are too many old men in positions of supreme responsibility, Current Opinion states. His most dramatic effect before the council of soldiers and workers was won in a crisis on a vote that might have overthrown him. He bade the delegates in thunder tones to look into the first mirror they saw. The faces reflected would be those of young men. What, on the other hand, would be the color of the hair of the rulers opposed to the great social revolution? Gray. The revolution is youth, hope, the future. Against it are ranged the gray haired rulers of men without ideals. "Will you have an old men's war or a young men's peace?"

WILL VIN ( ‘ THE WAR aS “CARDIFF GIANT” PURE FAKE Had Its Origin in Hoax Which Is Un. derstood to Have Had Its Inception at Chicago. Andrew 1. White gives some of the particulars of the “Cardiff Glant” in & book entitled “The True Story of a Remarkable Deception.” The Cardifl giant was the huge stone image of » man which Farmer Newell of Cardiff, N. ¥., cluimed to have unearthed while digging # well in the autumn of 1869. After It had been sold to a joint-stock company formed to exploit the wonder for show purposes, Barnum tried to buy it for his own museum, but his of- fer was declined. The showman then had an imitation made, with the result that two Cardiff giants were on exhl- tition at the same time, the duplicate being shown to the public as “the only and original.” Doctor White attributes the exposure of the fake to Professor Marsh of Yale; in another account it wae Dr. John V. Boynton of Syracuse, N. Y., who latd bare the fraud. The original Curdift giant was carved or chiseled out of a gypsum block in a stoneyard in Chicago and was trans- ported thence by rail and wagon to Cardiff. According to Doctor White, scientists as well as clergymen were much Impressed with the colossal fig- ure, Dr. jumex Hall, state geologist. issuing « statement in which he de- acrihed the ciant as “the most remark- able object brought to light in this country” and as “deserving the atten- tion of archaeologists.” REFUGEES IN RICH ATTIRE English Writer Desoribes Grotesque Figures He Saw During the Italian Retreat. Amid al! the chaos of the Italian re- treat one kept on meeting utterly tn- congruous figures, for alongside of others rond-worn, shabby and dirty, to be clean and well dressed Is to be grotesque. ‘ Amid this multitude of haggard, un- washed, unshaven, dend beat males, I noticed two Italian ladies treading delicately over the rough ballast of the railway track. They had naturally brought with them in that fight the most valuable of their possessions, which were of a kind conveniently car- ried on their persons. Against this gray background of mud and rubbish and a disbanded army thelr two fig- ures glittered with a brilliance that would have been conspicuous in the Rue de Ia Patx. Heavy sable furs and muffs almost bowed thelr shoulders ; each finger had two or three rings that flashed in the light; round their necks were gold chains hung with pendants, and yet instead of the air of self-satisfied o tentation that might well have gone with a display so Invish, they were only two pathetically Ittle, frightened, per- plexed faces, and an uncertain gait that did not promise much further progress along that ankle-wrenching railway line—G. Ward Price in the Century Magazine. /- WHEN YOU WANT The heads, feet, tails, snouts, neck- bones or chitterlings, or any other part of the hog except the squeal, goto East’s Market 2300-06 Larimer st.

Over preached a noble sermon Sunday morning to a large and attentive audience. Text: "Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person." A portion of I Cor. 5:13. Sterness and the evils that befall the individuals, the church and the community, when either fail to heed the whole of God's counsel was ably discussed. The Pastor strongly asserted. Sin is an insidious, deadly poison—a thing God hates—and is contagious. You cannot tamper with sin, without becoming infected—that God deals, unsparingly with sin. Be oft-times in the individual life as well as in the church life we exclude sternness and take sweetness. We take the love of God, and the mercy of Christ, but leave out God's sternness, he further declared: There can be no perfect adjustment with God until sin is crushed—that unsparing judgment is God's throne, and God deals unsparingly with sin. Before the hour scheduled to begin the musicale, a large audience was present Sunday evening to hear Mr. Willis Bradly, the distinguished tenor soloist of Seattle. Wash. Mr. Bradly rendered several selections in a pleasing manner. The choir assisted. Miss Thrashily was the accompanist and as usual captivated the audience by the artistic support given the singer. The Y. M. C. A. boys will render a musical program at Zion next Sunday evening. Next Sunday is Mother's Day; all are welcome to be present at Zion. Rev. Over will preach a special sermon for the occasion and the program will be appropriate. Sunday, June 16th, is annual offering day. We were glad to see Mr. Johnson, of Marshall, Tex., and Mr. Gore, of Charleston, Va., and other visiting friends in the congregation Sunday. You are always welcome.

CHURCH We learn as we go to press that Dr. T. S. McMorris, the new pastor at Scott's M. E. church, has received the shipment of his household goods from Kansas City, Kas. The cost on the same by freight and hauling was $22.50. This bespokes better things for Rev. T. S. McMorris since the arrival of his house hold goods. Now, we conjecture that his better hal fand daughter are not far away. We have been wondering what became of his family, but this accounts for his lonely hours and Madame McMorris' absence.

A few ruff characters were there and they Colored men with guns, who were wanted to dance with the women. The Colored men resented, which resulted in the arrest by the police of three charged with shooting a Mexican. They were fined $25.00 each for carrying concealed weapons and held for the grand jury. The Mexican is in the hospital. So strange, some of our supposed good women who will not take any part or attend church will take part in such. Why not give some time and attention to God and the church, and help hold up the dignity of the Race. While we have some good people here, and they should stand for all that is right and uplifting for the Race. Why not use as much energy and influence to ge the people to God, or the church, as to the ball room. All good people should serve God and try to get others to do so. Mrs. Dons Franklin is improving; Mr. J. D. Tucker is still sick; Mr. Alphonso Epps is on the sick list; Mrs. M. L. Barclay is still sick. Mrs. S. R.

E. church some weeks ago, under the leadership of Mrs. Bulah Baker will, by request, be repeated at St. Paul's A. M. E. church on May 13th, by the same characters. Capt. Tstate was in the city Sunday. Capt. Tate was in the city Sunday, the guest of Rev. W. H. Prince. The drill given by Jecolish Tabernacle No. 460 at the K. P. hall on April 30th, under the leadership of Mrs. Maa Byrd and her associates deserve both socially and financially. Mrs. Byrd and her associates deserves great honor for their big hit. They were ardently applauded by the crowded house which greeted them. Mrs. Byrd left for home on the 5th, and the Tabernacle has taken an opportunity to thank her for her very efficient service and to reassure her that she carries with her the wishes of all concerned. The Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Watson have returned from Arizona, where Rev. Watson went in the quest of his health, but his condition still remains feeble, the result of a nervous breakdown. The reading contest at the Eight Street Baptist church, which was participated in by Minnie Roberta Hearat, Minnie Ross, Josie Hill and Wright was highly appreciated by all. The medal was won by Miss Wright. All the young ladies did fine and deserve more than passing mention. Scotts Chapel is preparing to render a cantata at Central High School Auditorium on the 9th. We bespeak for them a full attendance and an appreciative audience. The Rev. Brown, formerly of Topeka, Kan., now of Oakland, Calif., enroute from Kentucky, where he had been to see his sick mother, stopped over in the city last Friday to visit Rev. Harbert, and left the same night for his charge in Oakland, Calif.

Mrs. Julia Embry is convalescent, as is also Mrs. F. Vest. A splendid audience greeted Mr. Willis Bradley, dramatic tenor from Pasadena, Calif. In the absence of Miss Massey, his accompanist, Miss Elsie Nix presided with grace at the piano. Mrs. Myrtle Reed-Holmes gave two excellent readings. The affair was under the auspices o the Missionary Society of the People's M. E. church. Attorney E. P. Blakemore, of Denver, was in the city early in the week to plead a civil suit for the Rev W. L. Darius against a discriminating Greek bootblack. Mrs. Mary Wade, of Denver, was the week-end guest of her sister, Mrs. Nannie Rollins. Mrs. P. A. Pinkney is on the sick list again. Payne Chapel certainly went 'over the top' on last Sunday in her Spring Drive. The receipts for the day were $656.61. This Sunday is to be gleaning day. The Submarines under Smith Gee lead the Airplanes by about fifty dollars. Miss Leona Green, of Kansas City, is visiting with her sister, Mrs. Janet G. Ward. Mr. S. Severe, of Independence, Kas., is visiting in the city. Quite a bit of splendid work is being turned into the Red Cross by the classes now meeting at the Thrift House of the Visiting Nurses Association. The Executive Board of the Colorado State Baptist Convention met with St. John Church last week. Among those present were Revs. Over, Price, Wallace, Henry, Bryant and Pinkey.

May 27—Mrs. Hattie Williams, 2913 Glenarm place. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Work has been begun on the new croquet ground in the rear of the building. The ground is being levelled and plans for the fencing are under way; and it is hoped that within a weekfrom now the players can begin using the court. Anyone becoming a member of the "Y" may join the club. On account of the lateness of the season it has been agreed by the committees of the Y. M. and the Y. W. C. A. to hold the regular annual field day and track meet on July Fourth instead of Decoration Day. Benny Baker has a large team in preparation for that event, and declares he is going to "sweep everything." The Rev. John Vander McCulen, pastor of the Boulevard Congregational Church, was the speaker at the men's meeting last Sunday afternoon, speaking on the subject "On the Square." The address was very practical and helpful. The Glee Club is preparing for their appearance at Zion Church next Sunday night. The singers will be supported by a stringed orchestra, led by Messrs. Gatewood and Graham. On account of next Sunday being the annual day for the Odd Fellows and other allied societies, the Mothers' Day program will be postponed until the following Sunday, May 19. A feature of the program will be the singing of Mrs. Bessie La Bell, the famous lady baritone, formerly of Chicago. Other well-known persons will also take part. A song service will be held next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, with a possible short address. All will be welcome. WEDNESDAY ALL MEANS WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKERS, PASTE OR BREADMY ROOM CONTAINING WHEAT FAMINE FACES FRANCE SAVE WHEAT TO SEND OVERSEAS TO ALLIES "The Allies are still hungry and if you can spare a little more flour, for God's sake send it," was the plea made recently by a British officer to an American audience. Who of you, after hearing that heart-breaking cry after realizing the necessity which faces the brave nations of Europe, can help saving wheat? Two definite appeals to us are voiced there. One is to patriotism, the other to common sense. The Allies' cause is our cause. Our men are fighting shoulder to shoulder with their men. If food fails, the fighters must fail. The war must be lost to Liberty. Even the most ignorant among us knows what a German victory would mean, especially to the women and children of the land. Our love of country, our love of our homes, our every instinct of self-preservation must make us do every thing, whether great or small toward victory. The other appeal is that of humanity. Who can refuse to deny himself because of his greediness, his love of his own food habits, when that thought—the thought of the Allies' suffering—comes to us? Can any one with either sense or sensibility keep on eating wheat products in the present need? Does it not throw human weakness into an ominous German shadow to insist upon having food requiring white flour? Won't you—all you red-blooded willing American citizens let that British officer's cry for the Allies sound in your ears; "If you can spare a little more flour, for God's sake send it!" Building Stalwart Character. Stalwart character, that invaluable possession which, partly because it is an invisible possession, often is hard to understand, is just the net result of tally devotion to duty. God's Presence. Did it ever occur to, you that the signs of God's presence are granted to the farmer more than any other man? Look around your home and fields and sea.

Denver, Colorado In war time all the old reverenced customs are cast overboard and new strange practices instituted in their places. Time was when a woman would consider her housewifery impeached if she used anything but the best and finest wheat flour. But that tradition, with thousands of others, has been shattered, and now real turfir and loyalty to country makes substitutes serve where only wheat was once known. Out of some practice, skilled cooks have compiled the following table for women whose own experiment has not told them what the proper proportion of substitute flours makes the best mixture: One cup (4 oz.) WHEAT FLOUR equals— Barley flour ..... 1½ cup Corn flour ..... 1 cup Fine corn meal ..... 1 cup Coarse corn meal ..... 4-5 cup Buckwheat ..... 4-5 cup Rice flour ..... 4-5 cup Hominy grits ..... 4-5 cup Rolled oats (ground) ..... ½ cup The above equivalents represent an average on these flours, but different mills turn out different grades of flour and weight is the safest guide. If you have no scales sift flour and measure lightly in a measuring cup. Disheartening crop news from New York and Michigan in regard to greatly lowered acreage in pinto bean planting has encouraged Colorado bean growers to make an increased effort to get a maximum acreage in this state. For the past three years, according to the report, growers in these states have been compelled to contend with wet weather at harvest time which greatly damaged their crops. In some cases entire crops were lost. O. H. Liebers, head of the bean division for the U. S. Food Administration, in announcing a shortage of good seed, states that Colorado growers can obtain good seed through the county agricultural agent or local shipper. SAVE WHEAT The most vital food question facing America now is wheat saving. The United States Food Administration, in view of the critical wheat shortage, asks every Coloradean* to observe these rules: For the sake of the American lads in the trenches of France— Make every meal every day a "wheatless meal." Eat no food of any kind containing wheat or wheat products unless absolutely necessary for health. Use potatoes, fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy products and other cereals such as corn and rice for fresh and curd meats of all kinds, including pork. Compensation. No one can do really good work without making money along with it, in this day and generation, when good workmen are at a premium. If you are a good workman, working for the love of your work as well as for its money value, you may know that you will find your compensation in it. And it will be more than a money compensation, you may be very sure. Taking a Nap. Nan was sitting on one of the smallest first-grade chairs with her legs crossed.

No race in all history ever had a more commanding slogan than this. 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 nieces, 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 Mooresfield 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 reincarnation 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.

This is the first time in the history of the of the city that white boys have been replaced by the girls of our race. Since the United States entered the war many of the large hotels as elevator operators and starters, but the Hamilton hotel is the first resort to employ girls as bellhops. The hotel manage ment says it became almost impossible to get white boys. So far the service of girls have proved entirely satisfactory. England's Birds Are Hungry. In the gardens where no bird-table attracts its feathered pensioners the silent absence of bird-life is almost oppressive; but the birds did not depart before necessity compelled. Sometimes grim fate stalked in the thin shrubbery whence now and again the household cat has emerged; but more often your garden birds have migrated afield because they had exhausted the possibilities of their home. See down the length of the garden wall a foot wide space had been absolutely closed of dead leaves by blackbird and thruh; who had tossed them to one side in their search for wintering insect life. Look closer and you will see that probing bills have worked a little crevice all the way between the earth and the wall. See, every square inch of uncovered frozen ground is dusty from the innumerable pecks of hungry little beaks.—London Times. TRAGEDY IN BUCHANAN'S LIFE Recent Revelations Show Why States- man Selected No Mate to Share His Greatness. President James Buchanan died a bachelor. The story of the tragedy that caused him not to marry was brought out during the debate in the house of representatives on a motion to erect a monument to Buchanan in Washington. Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio told the story as he heard it from a friend of Buchanan's at the White House forty years ago. "In his youth James Buchanan's heart was won by the charms of the beautiful Miss Anna C. Coleman, who, like himself, resided in Lancaster, Pa.," said General Sherwood. "They were soon betrothed and were counted the handsomest couple in all the country around. Some time after the engagement had been announced Mr. Buchanan was obliged to go out of town on a business trip. On his return he stopped in to see a Mrs. William Jenkins, who was entertaining a Miss Grace Hubley, daughter of General Hubley, an officer of the revolutionary war. "A gossiping young woman told Miss Coleman of Mr. Buchanan's visit and aroused her jealousy. On the spur of the moment she penned an angry note and released him from his engagement. A short time after this incident a party was arranged to go to Philadelphia to attend an opera. Miss Coleman was included in the invitation, and on arriving at Philadelphia, on a plea of indisposition, remained at the hotel. On their return from the opera Miss Coleman was found dead. She had killed herself. This broke James Buchanan's heart, and he never married and never loved another woman." EVER STAMP WHITE HORSES? Peculiar Childish Idea Which May Bring Back Old Days to Some of the Readers. The car was a long time coming, and a very small, dirty and joyous girl on one roller skate confided to an interested bystander that there were "two white horses coming." "I'll stamp 'em both," she added, and proceeded to lick her thumb and jam it into a soiled pink palm. Twice over it had to be done, with eyes fixed upon the approaching team. "Why stamp them?" inquired the stranger. "Why, don't you know? When I stamp a hundred I'll find something. Found a penny last time." Just then the newspaper boy arrived with his sack, and as he took the money from the wooden bench, a penny rolled toward the gutter. The unkempt little figure swayed on its single skate. A frown of disapproval followed the boy's industrious search. While the pennies were in the bag on the bench, they were property and to be respected. But it was plain to anyone with eyes that a lost penny belonged to the finder—in the code of the little girl. When it was picked up and dropped into the boy's pocket, she turned to the sympathetic bystander. "Don't you hate boys with freckles?" she asked. "Besides, I'd only stamped 'leven. Wait till I get 'nuther hundred." Are Aviators Born? There was a time when it was held that a man must be especially born for aeronautic duties. Experience has brought on the fact that the average young man can make an excellent aviator. Captain Guynemer, Major Bishop, Captain William Thaw, Captain Ball of the Lafayette escadrille, and practically all the famous aviators were not men who impressed anybody with being different from other men. Of the thousands of allied aviators there are probably not five hundred men who had seen more than a few months of military service before joining the air service. Most of them had never seen any military service. In planning an organization for the selection and training of aviators, the aircraft board and the signal corps of the United States have had to prepare to deal entirely with men who had never seen military service, as other countries have done.—Henry Woodhouse in Everybody's. Americanisms in Britain. Lord Derby, in advising us not to get rattled," has added another word to our war vocabulary, or, at any rate, given an old word a new meaning. In this sense "rattled" is an Americanism, and we remember reading an article by W. D. Howell some thirty years ago, in which he said he was not very easily rattled. Of course we have used the word in this country with other meanings for many centuries; even Pepys relates on one occasion how he rattled his wife, but that was more in the nature of grumbling, while Lord Derby evidently intends us not to get alarmed or excited, which is the real American sense of the word.—London Chronicle Undertaking Incorporated and Bonded J.
