Doing His Stuff Over There
Negro Troops Halt The Enemy; Then Charge Thru Their Lines
The following was clipped from the morning paper Wednesday: Negro troops, supported by entente allied tanks, which did great excursion, delivered a brilliant counter attack in this vicinity and recaptured the forest running southwest of Marqueglise, between Perte farm and Loges farm.
"OVER THERE"
The United States has drafted thousands anny, thousands more will be drafted thousands more willing to go to the Germans for the cause of Democracy, in Cantigy and Marqueglise where our singing glory to the United States, the color is giving his life and his life bloom which includes the sacrifice of homes for the welfare and safety of others, all the higher, truer and better thought on those imbued with such a spirit can fear hatred, jealousy, envy, greed and principles and life's beat.

The United States has drafted thousands of Negroes in the Army, thousands more will be drafted and today there are thousands more willing to go to the front and shoot down Germans for the cause of Democracy, Justice and Liberty. In Cantigy and Marqueglise where our troops, fighting and bringing glory to the United States, the American soldier of color is giving his life and his life blood, that his patriotism which includes the sacrifice of home comforts, of fortunes for the welfare and safety of others, always is supported by the higher, truer and better thought of altruism. Such men as those imbued with such a spirit cannot have in their souls, fear hatred, jealousy, envy, greed and lust as their guiding principles and life's beat. Their only thought is allegiance, to the absolute principle which makes it possible for them to face calmly, courageously and strenously the pangs of suffering, disease, bruises and death. Yet even "over there" he knows that while he is "over there" fighting, his women, children and brothers are ruthless lynched over here
THE NEGRO IN THE WAR
at what percentage of the American army used of Negro troops is conjectural. It is modest as yet, but already has it the Colored troops fight nobly." In a tion made at times by General Persh at for particular commendation the
Just what percentage of the American army over there is composed of Negro troops is conjectural. Probably the proportion is modest as yet, but already has it been established that 'the Colored troops fight nobly.' In addition to general mention made at times by General Pershing, he has singled out for particular commendation the heroic exploit of two Neoro soldiers who, though wounded, gallantly with stood a raiding party of twenty Germans, saving their comrades from capture.
This The Louisville Courier. Journal declares has no element of surprise for anyone who knows the American Neas a fighter, adding: "There is no color line in the war against the black flag of the Prussian skull-and-bones. By the way, it was noticed that no participants in Louisville's great Red Cross parade received from spectatory more applause than the Negroes."
Along this same line of thought this Southron of Southern journals, speaking of the query as to why not supplement the shortage of war nurses from among Negro women, has this to say: "Most of the nursing of white people in the South before the war was done by faithful Negro slaves. Much of the nursing of both the ill and the infants in the South has been done since the war by Negro women, a few of 'practical' nurses. That Negro women have a peculiar natural aptitude for nursing is undoubted. That they get remarkably good results without much training shows that with training they would be valuable anywhere."
Another tribute to the Negro in this war is paid by The Memphis Commercial Appeal, also ultra Southern, which says: 'Not long ago one of the most spectacular scenes ever enacted in Memphis was when a delegation of our black brothers left for camp. There was no tightening of the purse strings among their friends and relatives. The day was one of celebration. A dollar spent in making the departure eventful was a dollar well worth while. The boys of dark skins, left home happy and proud. They had been escorted to the trains by thousands. A band of their race played the songs of inspiration and the ragtime that is part of their harmonious existence. They may be black, but they can fight and they are Americans and they are loyal, and the men and women of their race did not seek assistance from the white man. They arranged the details of a big day and it was an epoch-making day in the history of Memphis.'
It is a bit significant that the major part of complimentary comment on the chivalry of the Negro in the war has been made by the Southern press. It evidences not alone a spirit of fairness in just appreciation, but also a pridefulness in the prowess and the patriotism of the brother in black. Quite in place with these expressions is that of a correspondent with the American army over there, who gives us this pleasing picture of the Negro in khaki "somewhere in France":
"They are over here, their typical Negro selves. The stand ard of intelligence in the unit is extremely high, and no illit-

The American Negro lads get along famously with both white and black Frenchmen. In their dealings with the feminine population thep are pun-tiliously polite and not a single complaint has been lodged against them in this respect.

Their pride in their unit speaks well for a continuance of the high morals they have manifested so far."
There is no discount to be placed on the American soldier by reason of racial antecedents, religions predilection or previous conditions of servitude. One and all they are soldiers true who will soon be tried to the uttermost will not be found wonting.

"OVER HERE"
I know and you know that if the Negro will now prepare today for tomorrow when untold opportunities for betterment in everyway will be given, many of our ills which we now suffer and bleed from will be destroyed or corrected If the sober, serious opinion were to be given by the sincere and honest white men, he would undoubtedly answer in truthful fashion that the Negro has been ill treated in America for well nigh three centuries, suffering every horror of infamous, inhuman hate reproached, maltreated and condemned almost completely to a menial contemptuous existence. Yet in spite of it all, he musters a spirit to carry the American flag, steps to the beat of the drum, risks the perils of the submarine lined oceans and bears his breast to the consuming fire of the German race on the field of battle. This proves almost conclusively that the Negro of all men is the Super man. They wore with honor the American uniform at Boston Commons, Petersburg, Fort Pillow, at El Caney, up on San Juan Hill and flaunted their suits at Carrizal and this year found them upon French territory planting the first American flag on French soil, capturing cantigny and Marqueglise.
THEY UPHELD TRADITION Again, and splendidly, too, Colored soldiers have sustained their traditional reputation for being courageous and heroic fighters. The deed of those two Colored soldiers of the New York Colored regiment, who put to rout twenty five fierce Huns, although sorely wounded themselves, is sufficient in itself to win applause
from the country, as it did, and to impell a reluctant War Department to give "equal" recognition to Colored soldiers. In all the annals of American fighters there have been few instances of bravery, heroism and fortitude comparable with the fighting, against tremendous odds, of those two Colored soldiers. Privates Johnson and Needham.
Not only did they win the Croix de Guerre, which France so gladly conferred up on them, but they won the right to be enrolled high among American heroes; the right to have their names and their fame go down triumphantly the corridors of time; the right to have their race—their comrades in arms and their kinsmen back here at home. to enjoy, without restrictions, the full and complete rights and privileges of American citizens. Johnson and Needham fought like Spartans "to make the world safe for democracy," and because they did, these United States, from lakes to gulf, and from ocean to ocean, ought to be, and MUST BE safe for them and their brothers.
When can their glory die? —Cleveland Advocate
Louis H. Latimer, Edison's Assistant
Several weeks ago the birth day of Thomas Edison was celebrated in this city in one of the leading hotels.
Men of prominence in all "walks of life", joined in paying honor to one of America's greatest geniuses and most useful citizens.
The guest of honor was too busy in his laboratory, testing war devices to shock "Fritz", to attend in person; but his re presentatives were there to hail him—though absent—with all their voices—as the greatest wizard of modern times.
Among them was Louis H. Latimer, Thomas Edison a colored assistant, whose contribution to the festivities was a poem; enlogistic of his great chief, and which was published in full in the New York Sun the following day.
Any man, white or black, who is publicly recognized as an inventor and discoveror, must certainly weigh a little something mentally himself. Well, Louis Latimer possesses some aviordupois, as an inventor and electrician, which Mr. Edison discovering years ago, made him his assistant and gave him opportunities to follow his bent and taste for doing electrical work and for devising electrical appliances, had he been a white man, he would, today be a millionaire.
But he is only a colored man, who has been permitted to have privileges which few of his race enjoy, and he has made the most of them by
By systematizing and concentrating his whole soul, mind and body upon the Second place, the encouraging yells of the fans all along the way did not deter him from trying "to get and cinch" second place so that the real test between Umber and Ted Johnson will be shown later on in Philadelphia. There was no reason why he should let himself "out" and beat Johnson Saturday when everything was ahead of him. The white demonstrating to his employ er that genius is not confined to any particular race, and that merit is the true measure of a MAN. Wherever the Negro competes on equal terms with the Caucasian, he excels.
In a note to the writer under date March 3, 1918, Mr. Latimer writes: "I hope when my story is told, it will inspire our youth to know, that a colored man made the drawings for Bell's first telephone patents; and made an invention that made Sir Hirman Maxim's incandescent lamp a success; and made drawing for, and testified in, a number of the original Edison suits on basic patents." Mr. Latimer omitted, or was too modest, to say, that he represented the Edison Company some years ago as super intendent of some Electrical work it was doing in England also that he is inventor of an Arc lamp now in use in this city. I suppose his biographer would nt let him tell any more
His has been a wonderful career, and his life story, when told, will be a revelation to many who have not known him as intimately as I have,—when I wore knee breeches and long hair Louis H. Lati more was as young as he now is.
Although Mr. Latimer does not claim to be a poet, he has written some very commend able poems and prose.
All honor to Mr. Louis H. Latimer, the race's foremost and leading electrican and in ventor, may his days be long on earth—and his shadow never grow less.—New Negro

enthusiasts were strong for him to beat Ted Johnson but Bob Dans, Umble's pacer steadied him to "cinch' second place and keep Johnnson ahead of him always.
He is Lee Umble of Boulder and has only been in Colorathree months. He has been training for the marathon for two weeks, running the distance every day. To say he was a sensation in the great fixture is putting it mild for he was booked as a dark horse
He showed by making the ten and two-fifths miles in one hour, seven minutes and eight seconds and finishing strong that he can travel with any fast company. With a little more seasoning and ex-experience he can't be headed
Umble was born in Washington, Ind, and is 23 years old. He is an all round athlete, earning letters in track, baseball, football, swimming and many other sports. He was a pupil of the Washington High school from 1911 till 1914 and in 1915 went to the Ohio State University as a freshman.
Two of his brothers died of tuberculosis and Lee thought he had a touch of it himself, so he left for Boulder to recuperate. The run he made shows he has no cause for worry on that score because it takes a set of airtight bellows to breeze along that distance and finish as strong as he did.
He is taking a course in the Internaiional Correspondence school and supports his mother by working from 7 at night until 7 in the morning in a hotel at Boulder. But with all this on his hands he found time to train for the marathon which he did in the mornings. He says he only had two meals a day during his two weeks of training, running ten miles every day. He weigh-147 pounds when he started his workouts and entered the race weighing 133 pounds.
Umble gives Ted Johnson due credit for running away from him and says he is a sprinter, playing a game that he knows like a book. He intends to enter again next year and declares with the added training and experience he will get in the meantime that it will take a jack rabbit to pace him on his next start. The prize he won was a round trip to Philadelphia with Ted Johnson, where they will both compete in the National A. A. U. meet, which are the classics of long distance marathon races and his Colorado training will stand him well in the sea level altitude.
His running costume was made from an American flag that he brought from his home in the Hoosier state and as he dashed by the crowds along the course he received many a cheer and carried the Stars and Stripes right up in front where it belongs. Job and Commercial Work.
SAVE CANNED GOODS FOR USE IN WINTER SAYS FOOD OFFICIAL
"It is not patriotic at this time to use canned goods, which make up the nation's food reserve, when there is, all over the state, a great, immediate supply of fresh green vegetables. Such is the latest stand taken by the U. S. Food Administration against the thoughtless opening of canned goods when fresh vegetables are on the market in such abundance. With the safety and stability of America's food supply more or less dependent upon the reserve supply of canned goods, every tin that is opened unnecessarily during the green produce season is lessening the amount of food with which the United States is planning to feed her soldiers during the coming winter.
The food supply is not the only reason given by the Food Administration for restraining from using canned food at this time of the year. Perhaps the more serious angle is the fact that the tin shortage is becoming rapidly acute, and unless the supply is shortly enhanced, there will not be sufficient tin containers to preserve the enormous crops expected this season. Because of this, it is necessary that every housewife, hotel manager and consumer realise the need of practicing the utmost economy where the use of tinned foods is concerned.
APART FROM REST OF WORLD
People Dwelling in High Valley of the Indus Are Isolated, but Completely Satisfied.
In the high valley of the Indus, guarding the entrance to mysterious Tibet, lies Leh, the capital of an Indian province, writes Niksah in Chicago Dally News. Leh is not a haven for tourists. Occasionally a few travelers with a passion for adventure and a lack of consideration for the comforts of home, work their way through mountain passes and over rivers, on caravan ponies and primitive rafts, and at last reach Leh.
Usually the journey is taken for the pleasure of unconventional travel and not for the purpose of visiting Leh, for merely to view the town is hardly worth the hardships of the trip. If you are an astronomer, however, you look at the matter differently. The meteorological observatory of Leh is the most elevated in Asia; and your true lover of the stars will not balk at the blinding snow and scorching sun which follow one another in such maddening succession in the Himalayas.
Devont Buddhists find congenial surroundings in Leh, for the neighborhood is filled with lamasseries, as the monasteries of Tibetan Buddhists are called. Over half the men are priests, or "red coats", and spend their days in the worship of Buddha. Nowhere else are there so many prayer wheels endlessly revolving. On these wheels are manuscripts bearing the inscription, "Jewel in the lotus, Amen," written many times. As the wheel turns, the paper unwinds and the prayer is considered said.
The people of this section know little of outside affairs. They live at an altitude of from 11,000 to 16,000 feet above sea level, in the highest populated altitude in the world. If they descend as low as 5,000 feet, the unacustomed atmosphere causes illness. But they are happy in their isolation, and view complacently the monotonous grandeur of the mountains, which cut them off so effectually from the rest of the world.
PLAN ACTIVE WAR ON PESTS
West Indian Sugar Planters Seek Aid of the Lizard and a Species of Fungus Growth.
Lizard farming and fungus cultivation are means adopted in the West Indies to protect the sugar industry. It has been discovered that the froghopper (Thomaspis sacharina), so-called on account of its great leaping powers, is the greatest pest of the sugar cane, and that it multiplies by thousands on single plants, sucking the sap from roots and leaves. In the last three or four years two remedies have been developed. F. W. Urich, a West Indian entomologist, has demonstrated that lizards devous great quantities of the immature hoppers, and J. B. Rorer, a United States mycologist, has shown that spores of the fungus known as "green muscardine" are peculiarly fatal to the adults. As part of the work to save the cane, war has been begun in Trinidad, where the investigation has been made, against the rapacious mongoos, which has made lizards scarce. In addition, hundreds of lizards are collected in a protective enclosure, and are encouraged to multiply under favoring conditions of sand banks for burrows, with an abundance of food and water. The fungus is grown in test-tube cabinets, which produce spores that are dusted over the cane fields by special distributing machines.
Truly Useful Tree.
In Australia cattle and sheep are fond of grazing on the foliage of the weeping she-oak or beef-wood, Casuarina qudrivalvis, and some farmers grow it for that purpose. It thrives in California on poor sandy soil and is a decidedly ornamental tree.
Tact.
Tact is not merely shown in saying the right thing at the right time to the right people; it is shown quite as much in the many things that are left unaid and apparently unnoticed or are only slightly and gravely touched.

DAIRYMEN ARE URGED TO KEEP THEIR HERDS
"The child life of the world may some day depend entirely upon the dairy head of America, and the duty of every dairman is to stand by, with that courage that comes from the knowledge that he is a part of the world's reserve army that may at any moment be called into battle for our existence and the existence of the next generation."
With these stirring words, Herbert Hoover stood before representative dairymen of America and urged them not to let the high cost of meat, the price of feed and the increased cost of labor influence them to sell for beef the dairy cows that are so vital to the welfare of the nation.
The U. S. Food Administration feels the necessity of encouraging the use of dairy products so that dairymen will in no instances be tempted to relinquish their herds.
"Milk is one of the cheapest and most nourishing foods that can be obtained," announce Robert J. Grant, executive manager of the Colorado administration." It is easily prepared into the most palatable dishes, and loyal Coloradoans should increase their consumption as greatly as possible and save meat and wheat for shipment overseas."

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 Petitions 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, berging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK!

Send each Congressman one of the

AUTO HAD HUMBLE BEGINNING
First "Horseless Carriage" Would Be Regarded With Broad Smile by the Drivers of Today.
According to Ernest Saut, a French journalist, who has made a study of the history of the automobile, more than six centuries ago a man endeavored to build a "horseless carriage." As early as the thirteenth century a Parisian carriage maker worked upon it, and while not successful, his ideas were seized upon by noted scientists of the day, and much study was devoted to a fruitless research into the mechanical arts for machinery that would drive a vehicle by a series of springs and cords wound up like the works of a clock.
In 1790 a French mechanic, Joseph Cugnot, succeeded in propelling by steam a small wooden car of his own design, and developed it to a polish where it drew a piece of artillery a mile in twenty minutes. This car burned wood and was able to carry enough fuel to keep it in motion for more than an hour. The unwieldy machine wrecked itself, however, and Cugnot lost heart in his work. A few years ago France erected a statue to him as the inventor of the horseless vehicle.
After the failure of numerous experiments in England and France shortly after the appearance of Cugnot's invention, the horseless vehicle appeared to have been a perpetual motion proposition until 1830, when new discoveries in steam machinery directed renewed attention to it. From 1830 to 1880 much progress was made, and some promising results were obtained. The invention of the four-cycle gasoline engine by the Frenchman, Lenoir, paved the way for the successful automobile.

If a person will try to fool the people in civil life, deceive them while trying to do a military duty, is it reasonable to expect him to be honest in the regular army? Could you or would you conscientiously recommend him? Would you be safe? Enough said, then.
Be ware of men appearing as "martyrs" to gain public sympathy. Let every man stand or fall on his merits; be ware of the fellow always crying for sympathy, that he might get to put "one over" on you, so as to speak.
The Star desires to announce that the advertisement of the Spanish War Veterans, Corporal White Camp, should have read on Tuesday night, June 18th. Every body is going to help the boys "over the top." You should hear now that famous Morrison's big augmented orchestra. Meet us there where joy will be spread.

SERGT. ALBERT R088 TO FRANCE
—MAY GOD BLESS HIM.
As this issue gets to you, Albert Ross, who was born in Las Animas, Colorado, lived for years in E. Las Vegas, N. M. graduating from the high schools of that city and later from the Colorado Springs High School, where he made a record as a cadet, winning the prize drill medal and "honorable mention" in two oratorical contests, hopes to be landed safely in France. His father, George G. Ross, was a soldier in the Civil War, died as a consequence of pneumonia contracted in the war, while his brother on this side:7890$...6...5$40 children were young. Sergt. Albert Ross leaves this testimony to his brother on this side: "I am optimistic, and hope and expect to come back well and whole. But if God should will it otherwise, I shall make the sacrifice as our fighting Father would if living now—as a Man and a Soldier. I am in a big fight for real and pure Democracy—the Right to Live by my best talents and acquired learning and by fighting abroad, I hope to have you. Non-Combatants, who stay at home, make it better for my children and your children than when I left America." This the Star has pledged itself to do or die trying. May God bless all of America's sons "over there." Mr. Ross is the brother of the Editor.

THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN DISTRICT HOLDS SUCCESSFUL ANNUAL SESSION. REV. R. L. POPE, PRESIDING ELDER, PLEASED WITH OUTCOME.
The Rocky Mountain district, embracing middle and northern Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and western Nebraska, held its annual session at Shorter Chapel A. M. E. Church, this city, last week. Sixty-five delegates and pastors were in attendance. The program was well planned and faithfully executed. In his address, the presiding elder stressed the importance of giving the daity a larger place in church work, the need of a larger co-operation and fellowship with other denominations in local and missionary activities and the demand for adequate recruits for the Christian ministry. The sectional conferences proved to be highly instructive and attractive. The sessions were animated by inspiring numbers rendered by the Y. W. C. A. Quartette, the Y. M. C. A. Glee Club, as well as by a demonstration by the Boy Scouts, Mr. W. E. Parks, scout master. The convention choir, Rev. R. H. Harbert, director, was ever on the job, which was a glit-edge guarantee that every session was a live one.
Rev. A. Wayman Ward was elected secretary and reported, with Misses Josephine Hill of Pueblo and McVey of Boulder, assistants. Revs. J. M. Endicott of Boulder and A. D. Harris of Grand Junction brought the conference a live message in their sermons. Revs. R. H. Prince, Pueblo, B. F. McCully, Dearfield, B. H. Moore, Alliance, Neb., Mesdames L. A. Morris, Grand Junction, A. E. Vest, Pueblo, Maggie Carter, Colorado Springs, and Naomi Harrison, Sheridan, Wyo. Mr. C. W.

GATHER TOGETHER, O, COLORED AMERICA.
O, there is a noble power in a great race or group of people, assembling together for those things of which the race or group is unjustly denied. And great is the power of such a meeting. O. Colored America, you can cause your enemies to take pause, if now while your race is spilling its blood for white men in Europe, you will go from all parts of the Republic to the National Capital for your rights and world democracy for your race.
Gather together from East and West and North and South of the U. S. A. at the Seat of Government, ye who actually suffer injustices such as none other suffer in this "land of the free," in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran Streets, Washington, D. C., June 24-29. Meet together as Colored Americans so the Country may see our own intrinsic capacity for statesmanship and self-protection of the rights of Citizenship. Come as delegates from churches, lodges, Colored organizations and Committees—Make Ready Now.

MRS. ELA STARNS, FORMER DEN
VER BUSINESS WOMAN
DIES IN KANSAS CITY
Mrs. Ella Starns, who once conducted "The Starns Cafe" on Nineteenth street, and who at one time enjoyed the honor of having the best restaurant on Nineteenth street, was quietly carried away into eternity last Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. Hardly anyone who knew her failed to love her as she seemed to take especial interest in strangers and the persons whom seemed neglected. Her jolly manner and kind ways always won and kept her trade until everybody ate one meal at that cafe. Her rich experience in Omaha, Nebr., as a business woman easily earned for her a statewide reputation for good wholesome and well cooked foods. Her sister, Bertie died less than a year ago and now Fate has summoned her to answer the call through an accidental burning which suddenly resulted fatally. When a person had laid plans to steal our malling galleys, it was she who helped save them and safely kept them until the next morning. The independent, which was later changed to the Star, can never forget her kindness. She leaves surviving her two sisters and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Mollie Allen, of Douglas, Wyo., and Mrs. Estella Craig, of Omaha, Nebr., are both well known in Denver and their many friends deeply regret their misfortune and keenly sympathize with them. May her ashes rest in peace that passeth all understanding. The Eastern Star will take charge of her body in Kansas City, Mo.

Dickensians will be interested to hear that in the house in Easy Row, Birmingham, which is the one described in "Pickwick Papers" as having belonged to Mr. Winkle, Sr., an interesting discovery in the course of renovation has just been made. On the removal of the wallpaper in a room in the top story the whole of the walls was found to be enriched by the oldtime stencil plate, which preceded the days of wallpaper—London Chronicle.
Sword Reverenced in the East
In the East superstitious reverence is still paid to the sword. The daimios of Japan, when they voluntarily surrender their rank, kept, as a rule, the wonderful blades which had been handed down from generation to generation, in some cases for more than 1,000 years, and which had absorbed, as they believed, some of the character and life of the men that had owned them.

LABOR BODIES ASKED TO HELP
Organizations Throughout the State Urged to Buy War Savings Stamps.
The following call has been issued to the labor organizations of the state to help in the War Savings campaign: Colorado War Savings Committee, 201 International Trust Building, Denver, Colo., June 1, 1918.
To the Secretaries of Labor Organizations in Colorado,
The President of our great nation will proclaim June 28th, 1918, as National War Savings Day. On that day we will all be asked to pledge to "save" and invest in War Savings Stamps. We know that organized labor will answer the President's call one hundred per cent. A permanent record is to be made of the part taken by the members of organized labor in this campaign, and we are enclosing two register cards, a report blank and two franked envelopes for this purpose. Fill in the register cards at once. File the blue card with the union and return the white card in one of the enclosed addressed envelopes.
Following National War Savings Day (June 28, 1918) have all members report without delay the amount of War Savings Stamps each has pledged to take during the year. Then fill out and return the report blank, using the other addressed envelope. Colorado's quota of War Savings Stamps to be raised in 1918 is twenty million dollars. Approximately seventeen million dollars yet remains to be raised. One thousand dollars is the limit to which any one person can invest, hence the urgent necessity to have every man and woman pledge to the fullest extent of their ability. Labor is doing its part well and we hope to have every labor union in the state of Colorado report that one hundred per cent of their membership has joined the nation's great throng of investors in United States War Savings Stamps.
Yours faithfully.
ROADY KENEHAN. Secretary Labor Advisory Board, State of Colorado.
SECRERARY MCADOO ON SAVING
"I want you to think of this situation for the moment as one big general store, with Uncle Sam as proprietor. Uncle Sam has got to see that his own people are fed and taken care of; he has got to see, in addition, that the 1,000,000 men, perhaps 1,500,000 men, whom we are going to put into the field are fed and clothed and equipped with the things that are necessary to enable them to become trained soldiers. These men will be taken out of the fields of productive enterprise. They will be for the time they are in the war idle men from an economic standpoint. They have got to be fed and clothed and equipped. That means an enormous drain upon the general store that we have not heretofore had, and unless we economize and prevent waste it is a very serious question whether we shall be able to produce enough to meet all of our demands and the demands of the rest of the world. Everything that we save is going to release that much in the general store for the support of our own armies and the armies of Europe."
HOOVER FLAGS PROFITEER
ING.
By Herbert Hoover.
No person in the United States has a right to make one cent more profit out of any employment than he would have made under pre-war conditions. I do not care whether this refers to the farmer, to the laborer, to the manufacturer, to the middleman or to the retailer. Every cent taken beyond this standard is money extracted from the blood and sacrifice of the American people. Extortionate profits are not necessary to secure the maximum effort on the part of the American people in this war. If we are going to adopt that theory, we have admitted everything that has been charged against us of being the most materialistic, the most avaricious, and the most venal of people in this world.
If we are going to admit that the government, in order to secure the supreme effort of its citizens in production, must bribe them with money to this exertion, we have admitted a weakness of American character, of American civilization and of American ideals that puts us on a plane below German Kultur. Do not mistake that I am saying that prices and wages should return to the pre-war normal, because the incidence of war before we joined it had lifted our costs of operation, and there must be compensation in every direction. Nevertheless, I hold that any man who has made more than his necessary living out of the cost this nation is giving in the blood of the boys we are sending to France, should not stand out as a benefactor to his community.

Claude F. Davis, Pressman of this Office, received a letter last week from Amos G. Pinchback, a popular young man, formerly of this city, who enlisted in the Navy two weeks ago, who is now at U. S. Naval Operating Base, care of Mess Att. School, Hampton Road, Va., writes there are only six colored Denver boys there, which all are well and sends best regards to their friends, and inside of thirty days they expect to go to sea as cooks and waiters. Everybody wears white suits in summer months. Colored boys are needed very bad on the boats. All together there are 75 or 100 colored boys here in service, but they are carried away as fast as they arrive and all of the boys are well satisfied. Everybody must keep clean. All colored boys must enlist as Mess Attendants and can work up to better jobs. Amos sends his regards to all of his friends.

NEARLY MANGLED AND KILLED.
Sunday while Roger J. Smith and his wife, Mr. Parnell and his wife, and Hugh Smith and his wife were motoring speedily toward Palmer Lake, and while a race was being staged, it seems that Hugh Smith struck some soft sand and his machine going at the rate of 90 miles per hour, ran into a barb wire fence jagging his face and cutting his wife's face so badly that her tongue fell out rendering a deep gash in it. They were removed to the Littleton hospital where her life was despaired of all Monday and Tuesday. She may recover, but she is still seriously hurt. Hugh Smith will be disfigured for life.

Married—Mrs. A. M. Mitchell to Mr. A. J. Kennedy of St. Louis, Mo., Friday evening, May 31, 1918, at eight o'clock.. Rev. P. J. Price officiating.
Mr. and Mrs. Ulysses Raip Anderson of 2847 Welton Street, are the proud parents of a seven-pound baby girl, born June 1st. Both mother and baby are doing nicely.
CONCENTRATION IS THE KEY WORD TO SUCCESS.
Miss Vassie Davis, one of Denver's popular young ladies, received as a reward for her ability and earnestness a diploma from the stenographic course of business.
Miss Davis is well known in the city and all who know her, knows her to be active in all things, that are uplifting to the race.
Last Tuesday evening among her many white friends of opportunity school, Miss Davis sat waiting her time to deliver to the vast audience that beautiful oration which so plainly spoke her feelings and sentiments.
In a class of 24 Miss Davis was the only Colored person who was in the class. She is also a graduate from Western University in Normal Sewing and Millinery, and is well able to follow any one of her four vocations. The Star is proud of Miss Davis and wish her much success.
