HOW AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE PROTECTED AT HOME---EAST ST. LOUIS MASACRE OF 38 NEGROES ANOTHER SAMPLE---HER STRUCTURAL MATERIAL IS IN DECAY Paper that Prints the News and Tells the Truth. Delivered at your door regularly every week at 150 per month. VOL. 3. Thirty HOW AMERICAN CITIZEN HOME---EAST ST. LOUIS NEGROES ANOTHER STRUCTURAL MATER VOL. 3. MEN SHOT, HANGED AND BURNED, WOMEN MUTILATED, CHILDREN SLAIN, FAMILY ALTARS BROUGHT TO ASHES. A nation whose principles are founded upon milk of human kindness, its civilization bounds and rebounds with an echo from the four corners of the globe, as "the home of the brave and the land of the free." While this might have been said at one period of her existence, but for the past quarter century her structural material of Christian civilization has been noticed by other nations so much as to mention by comparison of ancient history, the rapid decay of its once high morals and Christian development. She is going, another will say, "She is gone." And another will say when she is in the last throes of her struggle for life "She is doomed." Think of a nation that stands up and flashes over all the contiles with that inflated bragdoco spirit of democracy and then scan her pages of protection of her citizens and especially those of African descent. Monday of this week in East St. Louis when 38 black men, women and children were shot, burned, hanged, drowned, and 300 of their homes turned into ashes and ten thousand run out of the city, while hundreds of soldiers and police officers stood by, it is said, and encouraged these so-called American citizen rioters. This all happened because these black men were making a livelihood for themselves and families. Thief, you may steal in and get your prey for a time, but you will eventually run against the burglar alarm of your eternal damuation. This is the black man's country and if this government does not protect him, he expects to remain here until Shilo calls. 85 Per Cent to Remain. A poll was taken in East St. Louis Thursday as to how many of the Groves were going to remain and it was found that 85 per cent of them were going to stay. THE TRAGEDY OF THOUGHT. A few days ago we read in the papers how one Mane Kohler of Paris, Ky., has lived to manhood, married and was raising a family composed of himself, a wife and two children. They were living happily. They were enjoying prosperity. There was no thought of difference of race. A chance look in a paper revealed the information that Mane Kohler had a sister who is white, therefore he is white. But his wife isn't. His children aren't. His sister's attitude and letters break his heart. The wrecking of his life is threatened. The breaking of his wife's heart is threatened. The children, who a few moments before had a happy and contented father and mother, what of them? It is the stored up capital of racial hate the sole result of the sister's environment that brings about the tragedy of the thought. Had she been differently environed her experience might have been his and his hers. Like minnows, humanity has been nibbling at a great truth, but the full realization has not yet dawned. But some day and some how a chance look or a chance hearing or a chance seeing will bring clearly and unmistakably home to humanity the age old truth, the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. When then that discovery has been made what heart aches, what regrets shall be ours that we have mistreated each other so "badly that "man's inhumanity to man has made countless thousands," yet million "mourn." We thought white. We thought black. We thought red, we thought yellow. And we thought these thoughts were separate, and final, but what a tragedy! The tragedy is being enacted on a larger scale. The thought French, the thought English, the thought German, are striking evidences of the same tragedy of thought. It requires no stretch of the imagination or faith to see THE ALL SEEING EVE looking in pity upon strugging, fighting, mobbing, lynching, blood streaming humanity. REMOVE their colorphobia, REMOVE their babel of tongues and there stands out in sunlight clearness, "Of One Blood-Brothers." And'who is not grieved to see brothe ess fight? What is more unbecomi g?

DEDICATION OF DIGGS FRATERNAL BUILDING OUR GREATEST ENTERPRISE. The largest business enterprise ever started in this city is the Fraternal Hall and business building at 312-314 Nebraska avenue, which had a grand opening July 4th. Mr. Samuel Diggs is the sole owner and promoter of this hall. It is at the disposal of all lodges, churches, clubs, etc., to rent at any time for orderly public gatherings. It has two large hall rooms up stairs, beautifully lighted with electricity, and large ante-rooms and is strictly modern. Both halls are covered with-sanitary linoleum, which cost over $400. The altars, for lodge stations, look like granite. The lower floor can be used for a drug store on one side and a dry-goods or grocery store on the other. Everything is renovated and looks like new. The hall is a large brick building and faces south and is well ventilated. The dedicatory service began at 3 p. m. with appropriate music and a sermon by Rev. W. A. Bowren. Some of the others on the afternoon program were: Addresses, Prof. Graham, Dr. Mixon, Dr. Johnson; 23rd Psalm, like the Miss Mixon; address, Mr. J. M. Smith, K. C., Mo., and Rev. Clay. Many others were present whose names we did not get. After having a nice orderly crowd in the afternoon a large crowd gathered at night and listened to an intelligent program, instructing our race how to unite and achieve greater success than they have. Some of the principal features were; Music, address, Atty. L. W. Johnson; instrumental solo, Mrs. B. Tillman; remarks, A. F. Wilson; song, tune, "Glory Halleujah," words, "Our Diggs is marching on," address, Dr. Love; music. Original poem, "The Dream of a Race," Mrs. Margaret Calaway Matthews. She received her usual ovation. Presentation of silk U. S. flag and white silk red cross flag to Mrs. Matthews for soliciting most Red cross money among our people, by Mrs. B. Carroll( great applause) music, "Star Spangled Banner," ensemble. Closing remarks, Judge Bradley and Mr. Pickney. RECEPTION One of the finest and most orderly receptions was held after the program. Myrlads of cut glass vases with cut flowers, i. e., roses, carnations and ferns, were placed at intervals in the hall, and many American flags completed the pretty decorations. Mr. and Mrs. Diggs, Mrs. Caroll and other ladies acted as hostesses, and served the guests with an abundance of delicious ice cream, many different kinds of cake, and other fine ice. Never in the history of our city has one man, or more than one man served so abundantly. The visitors were delighted. Some of the many prominent people present were: Judge and Mrs. I. F. Bradley, Mr. Graham, Mr. Camagers, Atty. L. W. Johnson, Dr. Love, Mr. A. F. Wilson, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Editor and Mrs. Kennedy, Contractor and Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. K. Weeden, Misses O. and C. Carroll, Rev. Clay, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bronson, Mr. Andy Wilson acted as master of ceremonies. Those who did not attend this grand opening, missed it. Mr. Diggs, our philanthropist, will have another reception July 16th at this same pleasant hall. Every minister and every one shoud attend. God bless and speed his good work.

Adams, D.D., who is, according to the Indianapolis Freeman, "The one great national Negro preacher," is at home again after a tour of the east studying labor conditions. During the past month he traveled five thousand miles and delivered a number of sermons and special addresses in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Maryland and in the Dominion of Canada. Dr. Adams is at home to see his family settled in their newly purchased home, 634 Franklin street, before beginning a tour of the west to include Colorado and points in northern and southern California, studying conditions and gathering material for his work of the coming season, the engagements for which Include two months in Virginia, two in Baltimore, two in Pennsylvania and a great union revival campaign in Baltimore next summer, where the people have agreed to furnish a large tabernacle to seat thousands of people. During his stay at home Dr. Adams is open for engagements to deliver special addresses in any of the churches or under the auspices of any organization of the city. ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. Uncle Rea. Yas Chile, what you want—longer, your Uncer Ice? One time when you was Re-zen-in wif us, you tole us, we better ahng, togederd, if de don't we ud be hanged by ourselves. And dat's true my Chile, and it seems, as de days go by, de evidence of it piles mountain high. And lucky is the man or woman, who awakes and arouses themselves to a full sense of the condition which confront us. And when we have aroused ourselves, and have begun to think, if we are real honest with ourselves; we will observe, "He was wise, who said, 'What Fools Ye Mortals Be.'" Having gone that far along the line, it will be possible to do a little thinking for ourselves, and salvation comes in sight. For to concede that whe've have been acting foolishly, is to concede that we have been wrong. And such a confession, is equal to a resolution to do the opposite—Right. And one move in that direction, creates unmeasured Force and Power to proceed along that line—Of Reason—andthus "the drive" to bring "Thy Kingdom here on earth among men" will be on. And it will be an invincible one—not one to be halted or withheld, but one that will make good and will make us better, for having made it. Then let's get busy and wake up and become thoroughly aroused to the conditions and circumstances that confront us. Let's prove that we are awake, by observing and confessing that we have not been acting wisely. Let's prove that we are courageous and strong for the work before us, by resolving to change our tactics. Let's show that we are "in on the drive" by considering that we, even we—us—and our Black Brothers, are a part and parcel of the democracy of noble manhood—and that from this day forward—we will cease to accept as a fact that the color of our skin, and our blood renders their owner ignoble. And that hence-forward we will cease to be, shamble, play false, deal double and pretend, but instead will come out on the vantage ground of Truth and accept and live and act by the Truth, i.e. if anyone ever respects, loves, honors and lifts the race, we—we—us—ourselves—must do it for all the rest of the world HATES US. And listen, at and to your Uncer like. "You ain't goin' to get fur from the startin' pint, till we git HONEST wit quiplies and cease to hate and despise ourselves, because others do. AN APPRECIATION Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Diggs wish to express their thanks to the many friends who assisted in any way in making the dedication of Fraternal hall, 312 and 314 Nebraska avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, such a splendid success.

Editor:— Having been too busy and moving too rapidly to write notes each week as I promised, I shall give you a summary of the trip recently completed. This may be too long, in this case, you may "cut it down," publish in installments or just use your little basket which you have used so many times. But here are the notes: Chicago. Leaving K. G. the night of June 7th I woke up in Chicago the next morning. One day was spent there. At night I attended revival services conducted at the Institutional A. M. E. Church, by Dr. H. F. Bray, the "Rocky Mountain Evangelist." He was up against a hard proposition but was getting results. During the day a visit was made to the great Chicago city hall and three hours spent in the office of Dr. A. J. Carey, who holds the position of "Adjuster of Complaints," at a salary of $2,500 per annum, and who receives the same recognition as the other hundreds of city employees. Dr. Carey is easily the most influential Negro in Chicago. Two other preaches have offices in this building at large salaries; one other Methodist and one Baptist. Do you ask why the preachers have these position? Why, ask them; they are of age. South Bend, Ind. At South Bend, I spent the Sabbath with Dr. C. Emery Allen who has just completed the most complete and modern Negro church I have seen, except the St. John A. M. E. at Cleveland and this excels South Bend only in mag nitude. Dr. Allen collected $9,000 from the white people of the city, receiv ing as much as $2,500 from one per son. Ft. Wayne, Ind. This was a flying visit with little to see or tell. Baltimore, Md. A three days' stay in Baltimore was profitable in information gained and in the interest of the cause represented. Sometimes I shall write a whole "book" on Baltimore. This much I shall saw now: Here there are more extensive, and expensive church buildings, owned by Negroes than in any city I have visited, and I have walked the streets of the largest of the country, but spiritual life and activity are far from being commensurate with the material exhibit. Here, materialism is everywhere in evidence and sin is certainly rampant. Of condoms in Baltimore one might pray, "Lord, sin is growing bold and religion is growing cold." If the former should grow any more bold and the latter any colder—well, it can hardly do so; it is a spiritual cold storage plant, al ready. Columbus, Ohio. At Columbus, I was the guest of Mr. Andred Edwards, the head of one of the most progressive Negro families in the land. These people own extensive property interests, run an up-to-date steam and electric laundry, "call and deliver" in an expensive "car," give employment to quite a number of Negroes and serve the most exclusive people in the city. Many of the southern immigrants have received employment and ensouragement here. Wilberforce. The commencement exercises were interesting, especially was the address to the graduates, by Hon. R. T. Greener, of Chicago, on "The Old Education and the New." The attendance was the smallest for many years; out of five hundred students, only about one hundred remained till the close, having been granted permission, to leave to begin their summer work. Nearly one hundred persons were graduated. While there, I was the guest of Prof. Pleasant Solomon Hill, of the theological department. He is as plasant as his name, and if not as wise as King Solomon, he is wise enough to give splendid service in training young men for the highest of all callings. Pittsburg, Pa. spent four days in the busy, hustling city of Pittsburgh and was kept busy dodging the autos and eating big dinners. It was well that I got away with the gout. I was the guest of Dr. Henry P. Jones of Euclid avenue church, a man who has attracted such crowds as to overflow the church and this in a few months. The people are preparing to sell the present building, move out farther, establish a new church which will be the center of a great social center of the higher order, a work made necessary by the great increase of Negroes in the city. Detroit, Mich. The five days spent at this place were both pleasant and profitable. I worshipped with Dr. Jones. Evans at Bethel church. This church is greatly alive has been made larger, yet cannot accommodate the people; therefore they are now arranging to purchase property adjoining and make the church larger. Windsor, Ont. It is difficult getting into Canada and more difficult getting back into the U. S. A. for the custom officers and immigration officers are ever on the alert for ipties. They look at you so hard and question you so closely that you almost feel like a spy. I was entertained at the home of Rev. S. S. Harris a Mississippi-Canadian with a soul and a heart too big for the ordinary measure. Homeward Bound. I am at home again, in dear old K. C., K., and shall remain a few weeks before I begin another tour of the East. Why. to. the East? I was taught to "Look to the East" for light Racial Observations. Nearly everywhere I am asked, "What about the Negro immigrants? Here are a few things I have observed: 1. The changes brought about by the great war and which have created need for Negro labor in the other sections away from the South afford to the Negro the greatest industrial opportunity that has ever come to him. 2. I received, first handed, the information that, for the most part, these new laborers are making good. I know that many of them are receiving from $5.50 to $5 per day, while they are just learning, and others who are skilled are receiving as much as $10 per day. 3. Negro churches and other organizations are awakening to their duty toward these new comers. They are tendering receptions, having special committees to meet them, assisting them in securing employment and homes for them. Moreover they realize that they must teach and guide the new-comers in their own defense for already the large number of Negroes in certain communities is causing uneasiness among the whites and changing existing relations. Negroes, as individuals are undertaking the task of assisting and enlightening their own people. A few instances might be mentioned. At South Bend, Ind., a Mr. Price, a prominent Negro saw a number of Negro men who were untidy, loafing around the N. Y. Central station. He called them aside and advised them to go home and put on clean clothes, telling that colored people there did not go around looking that way and they would-discredit the race. In the same town, a family had just bought a home in a community which had been exclusively white. Two women, former acquaintances, called on the woman of this home. They were untidy, their hair was not combed, both wore aprons and were not fit to be seen on the streets. This woman said to them: "I appreciate your friendship and would like to have you call, but do not ever come to see me looking that way. We fix up when we go out, and I would not want the neighbors to see you come to my house looking this way. In another case, four or five Negro men were walking along the street, taking all of the sidewalk, so that others had to get off and walk around in order to get by. This man, a minister, called the men aside and cautioned them against this mistake. Some Negro Grafters. Some Negro Graters. To the shame of Negroes, some of the Northern and Eastern Negroes are fleeing their unfortunate brothers, charging them exorbitant prices for rooms and logging. Some charge from $5.00 to $10.00 a week room along, and $2.50 per week for sleeping places, where there are from three to five in a room and sometimes three in a bed. These Negroes belong in the class with the "food sharks" and ought to be exposed and punished. ALL SOUTHERN NEGROES NOT TO BE JUDGED BY THOSE WHO NORTH For the most part, the Negroes who have moved North are not the substantial colored people of this section. They are the common laborers, for the land owners, business men and professional men are still there because they could not afford to throw away what they had and leave as these common workers who had nothing of which to dispose. Some of the better class have come, but only a few, compared to the many. But I must close. Begging pardon for this delay. Sincerely yours, A. N. OBSERVER. N. B. Does any one wish to know who Mr. Observer is? Well, "He is of age; ask him," or address him, care of The Advocate. K. P. COMPANIES TAKE NOTICE. Captains of all companies of Knights of Fythas in the Kansas jurisdiction will please inform me at your earliest, the number of men you will take to the Supreme Encampment at St. Louis in August. It's very necessary that you do this at once. THOS. KENNEDY, Major Committee on Transportation, 834 N. Brunswick Ave, Kansas City, Kansas. Transport Carrying Money and Provisions for Soldiers in France Attacked ESCAPED TORPEDO FIRE Submarine Chasers Convoying Transport Put Sea Devils to Flight Washington, July 5—Two days after German submarines made their attacks on the transports carrying the American expeditionary forces to France, an attack was made by Uboats on a big navy transport carrying gold to pay the American troops and a large cargo of provisions. The transport escaped with the aid of American destroyers. The conflict occurred near the French coast. In the fight were the transport, two American destroyers and two Germna submarines. According to the report, the transport, conveyed by the two destroyers, was sailing northeast along the French coast. The destroyers were on the port side. The vessels, were steaming close to shore, believing there would be no danger from a submarine attack. A submarine suddenly appeared on the surface and discharged a torpedo. It missed the transport by a wide margin. One of the destroyers made a dash for the starboard side of the transport. Another torpedo was launched at it. It also went wide. A second submarine then appeared, slightly to port of the transport. It was engaged by the second destroyer. Hot fighting followed. It lasted a few minutes. The commander of the submarine nearest the shore found that he was in danger of being hemmed in by the American vessels. He submerged his vessel and then came up a short distance from where the other vessels were fighting, on the starboard side of the transport. This gave the transport an opportunity to escape. The commander slowed down the engines and brought the ship to a position which expelled only the stern of the vessel. The transport headed directly for shore and near shallow water. A signal from the destroyer told that the submarines had been broken off. Lisbon, July 5.—Ponta Delgado was bombarded by a German submarine yesterday. An American transport joined in the fire at the U-boat. An American Port, July 5—9 British steamer arriving here today with 79 passengers reported that a shot from her guns apparently struck a German submarine at 7:30 p.m. June 26, the U-boat disappearing in a cloud of black smoke. Paris, July 5—Forty-two German submarines were attacked by the French land and sea forces during the month of June, according to statistics of the ministry of marine. During the month 12 merchants were sunk by torpedoes and two by shell fire. We, a part of the citizens in this great Metropolis, having heard that Mrs. M. C. Mathews, m. & Neutenant, solicited the biggest amount of the Red Cross workers for our race, desire to express our gratitude to her for this and the many other things she has done for our race. Many of the older residents know of her good work as teacher years ago, she being the first woman who ever taught in Douglass, the largest school, in our city. Also the first woman to read a welcome address before 1500 whites, a great poetess who wrote a prize, State Federation song-poem, and many other good poems, and but not least, founded the Neighborhood Bible class for all denominations. As this is the 11st anniversary of American Independence, in which the colored race, though mistreated at times, has alced in work and in war. I now in behalf of some citizens of K. C. K. present to her a slight memento. Please accept these silkstars as our appreciation of such a worthy eff- izen. SENATE IN HOT FIGHT ON LIOUOR Question to Be Decided By Vote Before Adjournment Tonight STOPS WHISKEY MAKING Indications Are Administration Measure Saving Beer and Wine, Will Pass Washington, July 6.—Prohibition will know its fate before the senate adjourns tonight. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the senate will begin voting on the prohibition amendments and will keep at it until it finally disposes of the issue. Out of the maze of parliamentary legerdemains in progress when the senate convened today two things seemed certain: That bone dry prohibition would be defeated. That whiskey making would be stopped. This leaves the disposition of beer and wine the only question for the senate to decide. Whether to "pass the buck" to the president or keep the responsibility in congress is the issue before the upper house. The senate agricultural committee will offer the Gore amendment putting the beer and wine questions up to the president. Immediately Senator Robinson of Arkansas will offer as a substitute the administration amendment flatly prohibiting whiskey, but completely ignoring beer and wine. The sharpest fighting is promised when the prohibition issue comes up, but senators by agreement, will be confined to 10-minute speeches each and fillbustering will be impossible. The ultra-radical prohibitionists are ready to launch a movement for "bone dry" prohibition, but they will be content to place the senate on record without delay. It is dubious whether they will be able to muster a score of votes. If the senate gets rid of the prohibition bugaboo this afternoon, the food bill will be on a fair road to a vote. Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the measure, will ask unanimous consent to vote on the bill next Wednesday or Thursday. SELL GIRLS AS.SLAVES IN GOTHAM New York Market Rivals Auction Block of Negro Slavery Days New York, July 6-That New York city is a vast recruiting ground for men and women who have established an open market for young gilrs, is being established gradually by the investigations conducted by the police as the result of the disclosures in the Cruter case made by Miss Consido LARue, the South American girl who was brought to this country a victim of the "white slave" ring. Down town hotels, fashionable apartment houses, "tango parlers," tinselced cabarets just off the shopping district of Fifth avenue, and the lunch rooms, where working girls gather for the hasty noon meal, yield up scores of victims weekly the police have learned. The men and women who have engaged in this nefarious business barter in girl flesh as boldly almost as other auctioneers trade in horseflesh. Like the horses, the girls first are "broke" and then shipped out of the city, some to interior towns in Connecticut or New Jersey, others out of the country, to Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Venezuela.

THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN I'll fix you TOPSY FOR KNOCK ING MY FLOWER POT OFF THE WINDOW SILL TOPSY DIDN'T DO THAT MOM! I DID IT! PRICES TO GO UP HIGHER AND HIGHER BUY NOW, ADVISES M. J. MANNING, POPULAR CENTRAL AVENUE DEALER In these times of advancing prices it would be well for the readers of The Globe to gritulate their wants on absolute necessities and save money. The pinnacle of high prices has not been reached. We violate no confidence when we tell you that prices on everything except potatoes will be higher. Many person are laying in their winter supply of coal and are planning the purchase of a stove or range. Unless they buy either a stove or range just now they will lose what they have saved on the coal. A year ago, people would, not paint because of a slight advance in the price of paint. This year prices are much higher and they will be still higher next year. And yet the premises are going to rack. We have a fine line of heating stove and ranges which we will sell at last season's prices. Also, a splendid stock of Devoe's paints which have advanced twice in three months. We can sell you now at the same prices as six months ago. IT COST HIM $4,300 TO SELL 1 QUART OF RUM Burlington, Vt., July 5—It cost Sollman Zeekind just $4,300 to sell one bottle of liquor here. Sollman has a saloon, but under the law he is not allowed to sell anything to be drunk away from the premises. He broke this law, and thereby forfeits a $3,000 bond, gives up a $1,000 license and pays a $308 fine. He is barred from ever selling liquor again.

Washington, July 6.—The machinery of draft will not be ready to begin for several days. Many states, it was learned here today, have not made complete arrangements, and it will be another week before America's young men will be drawn. The war department will not authorize draft in any state until all can act simultaneously. The chiew reason the exact date is not announced is the belief in the department slackers might find means of evading draft if the time were given in advance. General Crowder is expected to see Secretary Baker late this afternoon with regard to the new plan to draft 1,000,000 instead of 650,000 men, as originally intended. The curpulus will be added to the regular army and the national guard. CLEVELAND PLANS FOR Cleveland, O., July 5.—Definite plans already have been worked out to "man" the street cars of Cleveland with woman conductors, Traffic Commissioner Sanders said today. There will be no women motormen for a while yet, but the fair conductresses will probably have charge of several lines before winter. When women are put on cars the entire line will be feminized. A woman matron will have charge of the portions of the car bars used by the women. Rest rooms will be provided. Shortage of labor calls for the woman conductor, said Sanders. Mr. O. Calhoun gave a good program for the C. M. E. S. S. Monday night. Some of the principal participants were: Misses M. Jackson, S Miller, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Miss Anderson, Mesdames V Calhoun and Mrs. L. Tipton, and Mr. Spalding of Kansas City. SLACKERS' RUSE FAILS WITH U. S. Kansas Young-Men Started On Fishing Trip, Arrested in Texas A cleverly timed "fishing trip" made by Fred Schopp and Clyde Schultz, serving as a pretext for leaving their home at Seward, Kaa., June 4, the day preceding that named for draft registratch, has resulted disastrously for the two German boys, Fred Robertson, United States district attorney, announced his afternoon. Both the boys, according to government data, are 21 years old. In the company of a relative they left Seward in a motor car equipped with fishing pamphernails. A week later a telegram from Donna, Tox., reached George Schultz, a brother of Clyde. A week later a telegram from Donna, Tex., reached George Schultz, a brother of Clyde. "Joe Dines is 20 years old, and Sam Eaton, 18," the brother replied. "The boys are O. K." Evidence that federal authorities were not disarmed by the subterfuge arrived in Seward shortly. "We are arrested for falling to register. Bond, $500 each. Both in fall. Wire somebody to give bond for us." The telegram, addressed to William Schultz, father of one of the runaways, was signed with the boys' real names. Investigation of George Schultz's part in attempting to mislead the federal agents is being made. KANSAS APPEALS GAS CASE KANSAS APPEALS GAS CASE Public Utilities Commission; Shorn of Power to Control, to Go Higher Up Immediately following the entering of the decree of Judge Wilbur Booth yesterday in the federal court litigation concerning the Kansas Natural Gas company restraining the Kansas public utilities commission from enforcing the 28-cent rate, the utilities commission through its attorney, H. O. Caster, filed an appeal. Every effort will be made to get the case on the October docket of the United States supreme court, Caster stated last night. In that case permanent settlement of the verging question whether the public utilities commission has jurisdiction over the gas company and then whether its 28-cent rate is confiscatory, might be expected by consumers some time next winter. The appeal of the commission must go to the court of appeals and then to the United States supreme court, while in the interim the judge's ruling is binding and the Kansas boards and city officials can do nothing toward fixing rates. The Missouri case, concerning the question whether the transactions of the gas company are a matter of interstate commerce, is now in the federal court and is also expected to land on the October docket of the supreme court, making three, gas company cases for supreme adjudication. The text of Judge Booth's decree was made known over a month ago, but it was held up pending the winding up of the state receivership and in the hope that the Dougherty interests might reach an agreement with distributors and consumers on a satisfactory rate. The decision is to the effect that the Kansas Natural Gos company is randy is performing an interstate business that the utilities' 28-cent rate is confliccatory and claims to the federal court the power of rate settlement. It also asserts that certain Kansas laws giving control of the company to the P. U. C. are misused and therefore unconstitutional. It also authorizes the release of a $750,000 bond given by the company to guarantee return of excess rates should the decree have so decided them. Attorneys for the Missouri Utilities commission, the receivers and cities in Kansas and Missouri failed to agree during today's hearing upon a stipulation of facts to be presented for approval, the cities contending they get gas as needed from storage tanks, thus classifying the fuel as stationary, hence under the jurisdiction of the state. After long drawn out argument, the attorneys were instructed by Judge Wilbur. Both to prepare a stipulation to which all interests concerned agree out of court, and to return tomorrow prepared to take testimony upon the issue. Mrs. J. C. Whittield, 132 Stewart, left Monday for Memphis, Penn, where she will visit her mother, sisters and friends.

Call Bell West 7211. 524 Minnegotia Ave. The Wonder Clothing company that recently opened up and added another Wonder Clothing store to their long chain of houses throughout the United States, is meeting that same approval, that all the other stores have done and are doing today. There is no secret to the success of the Wonder Clothing company as they don't believe in secreting anything from their customer and that alone is success. But let us state a few things of the Whys. In the first place they buy from their own tailor shops which means a saving of the middle man's profit or 25 per cent, whereby the customer gets the middle man's 25 per cent. Another large saving to the customer is there are no traveling salesmen to get another piece, so it is an evident fact one can nearly cut their clothes bill in half in buying from a house of this kind, and always wear high class tailor made clothes. The Kansas City, Mo., store at 1121 Walnut, has always had a big trade from the Kansas side, and this new store at 524 Minnesota avenue, was established solely to accommodate their large Kansas trade and the up-to-date clothes buyers are certainly taking the advantage of the Wonder clothing.

GROSS 721 Spring Street LITTLE ROCK ARK STARYING WORKMEN TALK REVOLUTION Human Treatment Makes Men and Women Workers Worse Than Slaves KAISER FEARS FOR HIS LIFE In Spite of Threats of Death and Starvation Men Talk of Revolt By O. F. Bertelll. France, July 6. A workman from a neutral country who has just crossed the Swiss frontier after spending five weeks in a large German industrial plant at Frankfurt on the Oder has just related to one the following story of the privations and suffering he underwent before he was finally allowed to leave: "Shamfully deceived by the German labor recruiting agents, who swore that food could be found in abundance and at cheap prices in Germany, with ten of my comrades I signed an agreement the last of April to go to work in Germany for three months. "We left the first of May direct for Berlin, after the agent had assured us. You will find good boarding houses where you are going, at which you can obtain excellent board and lodging worttney lodging for twenty-five marks (about $6.00) a week. You will be better fed than you are at home." Attracted by his glowing promises and the lure of a wage of thirty cents an hour, we set out. "The second of May we were led to the Eckbert factory at Frankfort. Our work was to assemble agricultural machinery. Beside us a number of workmen were engaged in making pieces of machine guns. During the ten hours per day we were required to work the military guard never once relaxed its vigilance, spurred on, no doubt, by the signs that covered the walls everywhere and offered a reward of $750 to anyone who could give proof that would lead to the arrest and conviction of any workman seeking to foment trouble or to stir up a revolution. Finds Deported Poles. Of the 2,000 workmen who formed the contingent of our factory over 300 were French, English or Russian prisoners of war or unfortunate Poles deported from their own country and forced to work night and day. They were treated brutally and were frequently whipped and thrown into prison for nothing. "The Poles, who had no law and no consul to protect them, had been recruited from Warsaw a year before on the assurance that they would be repatriated after six months' labor in Germany. When their contracts expired, however, the German authorities not only refused to send them back to Poland, but threw all those who protested into jail, where a number of them died from starvation. "Now, the rule of things is that whenever a Pole presents himself to the police and asks to be sent back to Poland he is arrested and deprived of all food until his spirit is broken and he humbly returns to his work. He has not even the right to change his employment. "The first morning of our labor we were told by our comrades what to expect, and the picture they drew of existence in Germany was enough to terrify the bravest of us. We were soon to find out for ourselves at our first meal that they had not exaggers ated. "Our midday meal consisted of a plate of soup that gave off an indefinable slickening odor and in which floated some hard substance that was solid enough to break the teeth; another plate containing a mess of beetle leaves and a few small, watery potatoes, that gave off a gray, sticky fluid when they were mashed. They were about the size of a nut and our comrades told us they had been frozen the previous winter and were rotten and unfit for food. For four months, however, they had seen no others. Food Stickers Workers. "Once a week we were allowed a trifle under half a pound of meat from some animal that had died. The piece of meat was not larger than the palm of the hand and contained no nourishment. In the evening a cup of coffee made from acorns was added. The bread was terrible, hard and black and filled with a brittly substance that broke the teeth and caused violent nausea. "This allowance was so meager that the day after our arrival we had already eaten as much as our food cards gave us the right to for one week. During the rest of the week we could obtain nothing except the acorn coffee for which we were forced to pay 12 cents a cup. A week after our arrival all ten of us were so ill and pale we looked as if we had been through a serious attack of sickness and we were more worn out than continuous labor, a month had ever made us. We were not the only ones who received a week's rations in two weeks. The other workmen were in the service fix. Among the families in the township's quarter one saw the most growing sights. At the house where I met my another colleague, at Lichtenberg, by May 8, the family Haig Closing in on Germans LOOS HILL NO.70 St. PIERRE Gite St. Auguste Loison LENS Hovellies Lievin ELEU Angres LA COULOTTE Mericour SOUCHEZ SOUCHEZ GIVENCHY- Cabaret Rouge MILL MP 140 BATTLE LINE Acheville VILLE 0 1 2 MILE SCALE Gains by British and Canadian troops have considerably narrowed the circle about Lens.

Famished Children Beg Food. "From that moment on nothing remained for them except starvation or begging. Whenever we went to get our bread allowance we were continuously assailed by swarms of young children, their faces of the most deadly pallor, many in the first stages of consumption, who cluing to our clothing and begged for a crumb of the unappetizing bread. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. Miss Calderine Johnson, one of the race's noted women and who is known all over this country as a fearless defender of the race and humanity, spoke at the morning service in the form of a lecture, which was very inspiring and was highly appreciated by her attentive audience. The pastor being out of the city, the pulpit was filled ably in the evening by Rev. Densmore, vice dean of Shaffer. Theological Seminary of "Instead of being able to live on $6 a week, as the German agent had assured us, we found we were forced to spend our entire wage of $15 a week and then could obtain no real nourishment. Not once during my month in Germany did I know what it was to satisfy the cravings of hunger. "Without one exception and regardless of clans, the workmen and the women of Berlin have but one hope which they continually mention. That is that the harvest of 1917 will be so poor the army will be forced to endure the same privations as the people at home. The approaching winter will be especially critical at Berlin, as well as throughout the entire empire. Workmen Talk Revolt "Despite the police guard, talk of revolution is becoming more and more open in the factories. Every evening impremptu orators harangue the crowd in the public squares, drawing a parallel between conditions in Germany and Russia before the revolution and how a change would benefit the fatherland. "Several days before I left a solid body of workment who had just left the factory discussed openly on the sidewalk of the Alexanderplatz the possible outcome of a popular revolution. Suddenly one of the group cried, "The aKiser well knows what's going on. That's why he's afraid to return t ohis palace." The whole group nodded its approval. "Any workman or woman who is absent more than two days from the factory is not only deprived of all food cards, but is punished by a prison sentence. "Only by a direct appeal to our consul and then by personally calling at the War Office were we enabled to take the necessary steps to get out of the country. Questioned as to why we wanted to leave, we one and all declared that there was not enough to eat." "America, the land in which we live, Once more sees fit its blood to give, That we as citizens might enjoy. And not a maddened mind employ. "We dwelled in patience not in haste And sought to escape the fearful chase, But, Alas! alas! how slow but sure We must a dreadful siege endure "But at the front there floats 'Old Glory;' The flag which shall ever tell the story The unique display red, white and blue. "The man in blue of years ago Went to his arms as we must do They fought that we might 'Rest in Peace' And sure enough the rumor ceased, "Was as we may, there is a time When we in all, must be one mind That we might fear and hate-release And can once more 'Rest in Peace.' —SOLOMON E. BANKS The Ninth Street M. E. church has been having good revival services with a special evangelist. Miss Catherine Johnson, one of the race's noted women and who is known all over this country as a fearless defender of the race and humanity, spoke at the morning service in the form of a lecture, which was very inspiring and was highly appreciated by her attentive audience. The pastor being out of the city, the pulpit was filled ably in the evening by Rev. Densmore, vice dean of Shaffer Theological Seminary of Western University. Dr. Griffin, with his family, returned from Mobile, Ala., Thursday evening and were taken to their new home, 1930 North Sixth street, where a fine dinner was awaiting them, which had been prepared by the ladies of the church. The parsonage had been put into perfect condition by the trustees and stewardesses, such as floor coverings, furniture, cooking utensils, linen and bedding. The pastor will fill the pulpit all day Sunday and many prodigals will no doubt be sent back in their Father's house, that were not present last Sunday. They are all welcome, sure. The plumbing is in progress and in a very short time the cement contractor will be on the job. The State Missionary Convention will be here the latter part of this month and the local organizations are making preparations for their entertainment for the three or four days they are here. A DRUG STORE OF BEAUTY. A DRUG STORE OF BEAUTY. D. G. Jones, druggist at the corner of Seventh and Quindaro boulevard, is now occupying his new room, and it is certainly a beauty. The front is white enamel brick and across on top of this in large white letters can be read a long way off in day time and at night-they can be seen still further from the hundreds of electric globes that so beautifully decorate this beautiful and attractive sign. The interior is fitted and furnished in the very latest designed drug furniture with a tile floor of beauty and artistic design. The soda fountain is an elaborate combination of marble, silver, polished brass and glass ornaments. The electric effects which suspend and decorate the ceiling are of great magnitude and illumination. The old drug room that Mr. Jones occupied so long by the side of the new one looked so bad he had it moved away. Mr. Jones has one of the handsomest drug stores in the city and the people in that neighborhood as well as all Kansas City, Kans.; should appreciate and feel proud to know the city has at least one up-to-date business man. BIBLE CLASS. The St. Matthew's Neighborhood Bible class met at Mrs. Gardner's, and as the leader attends the Caucasian class in Kansas City, Mo., she brought many a new thought from Dr. Rogers' teaching. The next lesson will be Rom. 8 and the meeting will be July 11th, at Mrs. B. Carroll's, 1322 North Eights street. THEY SAY— Mr. Diggs has a nice hall on Nebraska avenue and say it has larger apartments than any colored hall. The lodges who had the society editor write up their annual sermons were very much pleased with them.

The Fourth of July celebration in Paris today established a new high mark of enthusiasm. The city was full of American soldiers and one of the chief features of the celebration was a procession of United States regulars who recently arrived to sight under General John J. Pershing. The American members of the French foreign legion were given a furious to come to Paris to take part in the celebration. The city was gay with flags and bunting and many of the buildings were resplendent with the Red, White and Blue. Patriotic addresses were made by General Pershing, by William G. Sharp, the United States ambassador to France, and by Brand Whitlock, American minister to eBglium, as well as others. SCORE MAYOR FOR INACTION IN RIOT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE DEMANDS RESIGNATION OF PO- LICE OFFICIALS. East St. Louis, July 5.—While three new ires raged in the negro quarter, and soldiers closed traffic on the Fisk Hollow zone, the center of riots, plans are being made to reconstruct the city government which has made "the shame of East St. Louis a matter of nation wide discussion." Mayor Mollman is being assailed for lack of action in the race riot troubles, and the Chamber of Commerce has demanded the resignation of the clief of oplice and the chief of detectives.

The attendance at this church was large as usual, and at 11 a.m. m Pastor Holmes preached from Gen. 50:20, in a very effective manner. One of the prettiest songs sung was "He's the One," causing some to take a stand for Christ. At 7:40 he began to preach from Psa. 133:2, and gave a 22-minute sermon, closing promptly on time, when more united with the church. The Holy Sacrament, which was to have been administered, was deferred till the next Sabbath. A large offering was given. On Sunday morning, July 8th, Dr. L. K.
