Observer, Somewhere in Mississippi. Friend Editor: Since the last notes I have visited a number of Mississippi cities and had the pleasure of shaking hands with a number of old friends. I have looked in on the people of Vicksburg, Natchitoches, Greenville, Mound Bayou, and have seen much and heard much, some of which, like the things Paul heard, it would be unlawful to utter. It would be unsafe, at least while I am on this side of the Mason and Dixon line. While at Vicksburg I visited the National Memorial Park, where the armies of Grant and Pen堡ion engaged in the gigantic struggle, for Vicksburg and where one of the most important battles of the war was fought. Often I wondered how the people of the vanquished side feel with the constant and forcible reminder there, but I think I understand it now. They swallowed their pride because they sold these hundreds of acres to the government at a high figure. If one will spend a day looking at these monuments and will observe the treatment accorded to colored people of Vicksburg, then consider how even our liberators have permitted the people to be trampled, one is apt to think that the "Battle of Vicksburg" was fought in vain, and will wonder when will come the other battle for the supremacy of law and order. What is true of Vicksburg is true of the other communities in Mississippi, and what is true of this is one of the whole Negro-dated South. Another Glance at "The Exodus," The condition of the colored people, and their attitude toward their seclusion, their treatment and their efforts to escape may be summed up about as follows: Fifty thousand Negroes have left Mississippi for points East, West, North and South; thousands are now preparing to go; the cause is both economic and political; Negroes are being impressed with the greater freedom, better protection, better schools and better living conditions in other sections; there are many vacant houses; the Negroes are laughing, and the white folks are worrying; but many sandals, just as soon as the cotton crops are gathered and they have the money "in their jeans." Better Educational Advantages. The question of better educational facilities has much to do with the determination to leave the South. This I have heard expressed very many times. In some of the cities they have no high school course; in others the high school course is about equal to the grammar school work in Kansas; in many places third grade teachers are serving in the public schools; many school teachers receive as low as $18.00 per month and few more than $30. Because of the small salary and the fact that the white superintendents and boards do not want the Negroes to make progress, many incompetent teachers are employed. These things have much to do with the determination on the part of the people to go to other sections. Property values are very low, and this refers to real estate, household goods and personal property. Few colored people can be persuaded to invest in anything at any price; because they do not want the colored people to leave the white people will not buy their property, and if they do they pay one-third the value. They know that the colored people are leaving, that there are already many vacant houses; they know that the whites will not buy or rent in a community where there are colored people, the few. Negroes who have money will not buy and those who would buy have not the money; but these property holders have given up hopes of receiving anything like the real value of their holdings and are just trying to do the best they can, so that the loss will not be total, then they, too, will go. Crops and Prices. The cotton crop is the best for years; cotton is selling for 30 cents a pound and cotton seed for $70.00 per ton when fifteen years ago this same cotton sold for 8 cents a pound and the cotton seed for $2.99 per ton. Negroes will make thousands of dollars off their cotton crops, and many of the thousands will be spent for railroad fairs moth and payments on bones in other sections. A Word Concerning the Churches. The churches have lost many of their most active and most substantial members as the result of the "Exodus," and this fact has depicted their finances and made their financial burdens heavier. In many instances the men have gone, leaving the women and children, who have little to contribute to the churches. Unless the Northern churches shall gather the strangers in there will be great loss to the Negro churches. More soon. CHIEF DEPUTY BANKS AND HIS LIEUTENANTS ARE BUILDING HDR A DIG BUSINESS HERE UP A BIG BUSINESS HERE. Mr. W. G. Banks of Texas, chief deputy of the American Woodmen and his deputies, Messrs. F. C. Bruce, S. A. D. McClelland and P. L. Wilson who have been here for about two weeks organizing a camp in this city, are making good. They have enrolled up to date about 150, which takes in most every professional and business man and a large number of our leading women, as the women receive the same benefits as the men. Mr. Banks says he will close the dispensation of $3 which is only one half of the regular fee, when he reaches a certain number. While this is, a fraternal organization in many ways, it carries insurance policies up to $2,000 and pays while you are living. The Supreme Commander, C. N. White, of Denver, Colo., will speak at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple September 19th and a free banquet will follow. FIRST BAPTIST,' SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. Owing to the absence of the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowen, Rev. M. L. Clay conducted services at First Baptist Sunday. He discoursed upon gospel jewelry which proved to be quite interesting. His text for the morning service was Titus 2-10. All thanked Rev. Clay for his kindness in occupying the pulpit in our pastor's absence. We were pleased to notice the many visitors, and extend the usual welcome to saints, sinners and strangers. A good collection was taken for the day. SUMNER HIGH OPENS WITH INCREASED ENFOLMENT The opening of Spring High school Monday morning showed a larger enrollment than at the opening last year. The enrollment up to Thursday was 273. Girls 193, boys 80. The enrollment for the entire last year: Girls 191, boys 110. This year's Senior class starts with 51 members. Principal Hodge stated to an Advocate representative Wednesday of this week the shortage in the enrollment of boys was due to teh fact that many of them were self-supporting and they were yet working. It is a deplorable and sad sight to see about the streets in many localities of our city so many of our girls and boys that are just past the age of the school truant officer, walking, lounging and idolizing their time away. We find some of these young people, both girls and boys, being brought to police court on various charges. They are only paying the way to the criminal docket. What her home had to do with their children in these cases? What has the community life had to do with the cutting off of morals and a bright intellect? The sewing circle met at the residence of M. Ella Cox, 407 Rowland, Sixteen ladies were present Collection $8.49. The secretary and treasurer made their annual report, which showed $512.65 had been received. Mrs. Edwards, president.

A VISION ON REAL DEMOCRACY A "THOUGHT ON THE OCCASION. A few days ago I looked into the faces of a thousand newly enlisted young men. They were of the "flower of the community" from that sturdy, sober and industrial class, which produces the wealth of the world, to the more or less unfortunate one, designated as being able to live without labor. These young men were about to begin their march toward an event, that will be remembered as long as things human, shall survive. It has been spoken of as "the event" which will determine, whether or not democracy—individual manhood rights, as vouchsafed by our organiz law, shall survive, or perish from the earth, and forever. In my judgment, it will be an event that will determine whether the prayer of the Christ will be favorably or otherwise answered, wherein he said. "Let thy kingdom come on earth." And as I looked, I thought of many things, among them, of an idea, expressed in a pamphlet I wrote in 1912, called "The Reign of Reason." In it I remarked the truthful and prophetic features in the following: "Westward the course of empire takes its way. The first three acts, already past, The fourth shall and the drama with the day. Time's noblest offspring it is last." And in recounting the course of events, which make up the several civilizations of history, I suggested that the "last lap" of this course of empire, was then forming, coming in to existence—even now on. I also stated that this "last lap of history would bear the stamp, "American," and that our insular and island policies was the taking hold by the hands of the Occident, of the heels of the Orient, thus completing the circuit, making it necessary for the "star of empire" to again rise in the East, westward to take its way. I further stated, that the signs then suggested that the new star would rise out of, and over the social revolution—a breaking away from usurped power, and away from the inordinate love of gold—which have caused the world's wickedness and woes, and would result in establishing the Golden Rule—the real democracy of men. And as evidence of the truth of my notion, I called attention to the great wave of dissatisfaction that was then sweeping around the globe, visible in the breaking up of stald old Persian institutions, a revolution and parliament in China, the overthrow of the Ottoman empire, the duoma in Russia, the social and political unrest in Western Europe, together with the industrial and economic struggle in the United States. All of which to me, were ominous of a coming disturbance. Thus I thought, in 1912: August, 1914, saw the beginning of what we now have—nine-tenths of the world engaged in a cruel and ruthlessly bloody death dance, the end of which is still in the womb of time. And as I looked upon this marching mass of young humanity, with its purpose and destiny, it occurred to me; that it was an incident sufficient to "try men's souls." And I felt a deep regret, that there has been, and is being cultivated in our community such feeling and action, as to render such thoughts as been came to me—presumptions on my art—and non-acceptable to those whom they concerned. Perhaps, the best that can be said at this juncture is "That such a situation exists." "Tis true. "Tis plty and plty 'tis. "Tis true." But regardless of what may be said, I concluded that I would not permit any person or class of persons to lower my standard of thinking (and there are many others of my people of the same turn of mind. I therefore, entertained a full and clear conception of what was involved in the occasion of humane concern (and gladly would have expressed 'it) of the degree of courage, devotion and sacrifice, on the part of the young men themselves—many or possibly all of whom, we SAY NEIGHBOR, HAVE YOU ...JOINED THE AMERICAN WOODMEN? If not, you should join at once for it's the biggest fraternal order in the world. It pays for sickness, accidents, old age, total disability and death. Certificates range from $250 to $2,000. BOTH MEN AND WOMEN CAN JOIN Women carry the same amount the men carry. The regular joining fee is $6.00, but you can join under the dispensation for $3.00.

COMING may have looked upon the last time in this bourne, of the indescribable strait upon human tides of blood, of hearts, anxieties, loves and fears, of ten expressed and measured in human tears—yes, of all these I had a full conception and even more. I looked into the near future, and saw those young men with tensioned muscles, distended nostrils and disheveled hair, with wild abandon, rush to the 'center of an on-slought, a struggle for human rights, by the side of which Thermoplyae, Marathon and all the declive battles of the world, including Waterloo, will pale away into nothingness. Aye, yes, mighty, stupendous! And even esurpassing stupendous, will that occasion be, for out of all I see emerge crystalized democracy under and in which men will see, feel and practice the truth—the truth which alone can and will make men—all men, free. Yes, yes! And what else is that I see as a part of that great picture? Ah,ha,ha! It is easily recognized. Tis what will be left of the four brave, black regiments now in service, together with such as the four black boys out of five drafted in the first district of the city a few days ago, and the five out of six in the second district who claimed no exemption. They too, will have been there, and performed such service as, they, themselves did at San Juan Hill, and at Carrazal. And 'tis pity—great pity, and blighting shame that men who are limbued with the same ideas of love of country to the extent of offering their lives on the alter of its defense, the proof of which is their march, side by side with these worthy young men—your sons, your brothers and sweet-hearts, into that awful holocaust of human life, that seething cauldron of grim death, the birth pains of the new democracy of manhood and equal rights may die in the same ditch, binding each other's wounds, per chance dividing a cup of water as their last act on earth, must in a time of peace and prosperity live the one with the needless prejudice, even the gallate hale and desciplency of the other. A simple thought will cure this awful disease. 'Tis this: The world is wide, in it there is room enough for all, each in his entirety." Respect. L. F. BRADLEY. NEGRO OFFICERS HAVE TO WAIT Des Molnes, Ie., Sept. 13. Special—The war department has deferred nobilization of colored officers in the National army and postponed their graduation until October 15. Jefferson City, Sept. 12—A special grand jury was impaneled here today to probe the scandal over state officials securing coal that belonged to the state, and which resulted in the summary dismissal of John W. Scott, commissioner of the permanent seat of government, yesterday, and also to make inquiry into expenditures and other matters pertaining to the penultuary while D. McClung was warden. Prof. Clarence A. Guillot who holds the chair of science at Howard University, Washington, D. C., was in the city Monday bringing his sister here and placing her in Western University. Quite a compliment indeed, for W. U. The professor returned home Tuesday. KANSAN HOLDS GREAT REVIVAL Mound Bayou, Miss., Sept. 5th, 1917 Bethel A. M. E. church, pastored by Rev. W. B. Lewis has just closed a religious campaign under the direction of Rev. R. A. Adams, Conference Evangelist, that will live long and lastingly in the minds of the people of this community. Dr. Adams came to us at the earnest solicitation of the pastor and the secretary, Bro. L. T. Montgomery. From the very first effort put forth by him, we began to see the dawn of new light as never before. There were yearning and willing hearts for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and when that was preached, by this God-fearing man with such power and earnestness, it had its effect and men and women began to fall out with their ways and return to the Lord. Within the short period of eleven days, there were twenty-three accessions to the church and many hearts were made gladdened because of the presence of the Holy Spirit which revived and renovated the hearts of all. Mound Bayou has been aroused as never before and the messages delivered by Dr. Adams are household street talks daily. God was with the evangelist and blessed his efforts. At the close of the campaign, the members of Bethel A. M. E. church and their friends tendered a purse of $71.79 cash and a barrel containing twenty-five jars and cans of various kinds of fruits and vegetables. The following resolution was offered by the writer: Whereas, through the providence of God, it has been Bethel's good fortune to secure the Evangelistic services of Dr. R. A. Adams of Kansas City, Kas., and Whereas, The services conducted by him have been of a high order filled to the brim with wholesome instructions; the sermons replete with information, pregnant with valuable truths and presented by him in a forbible, convincing, convicting and fearless manner, to the extent, men and women have been made to see and realize the error of their ways and have turned from their ways of sin to the marvelous light of Salvation; and, Whereas, this God-fearing man has so conducted himself and his meetings in such a manner that the churches of the town and the community at large have been benefited. Resolved, That, as an appreciation of his excellent work and the material and spiritual good he has rendered, we tender him a special vote of thanks as, a means of encouragement in his sacrificial efforts to save men and women. Resolved, Further, That a copy of this resolution he spread upon the face of the official record of the church, a copy given to him; a copy to one of the secular papers of the city, a copy to the Christian Recorder, and the Kansas City Advocate. Mrs. E. E. Ewing, 1851 North Eighth street, entertained her brother, A. A. Weatherly and family of Lansing, Kas., at 8 o'clock breakfast Saturday morning. Mr. Weatherly is one of the guards at the Kansas State Prison. Mrs. Mary Moore is improving very nicely from the operation two weeks ago. Fine speaking and good music Emancipation Day at Huron park You are expected to be there. Afternoon. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH QUARTERLY MEETING UNUSUALLY LARGE—FINANCIAL REPORTS SHOW GREAT ADVANCEMENT—PRESIDING ELDER SMITH LEAVES HAPPY The fourth quarterly meeting of this conference year was largely attended last Sunday by both members and visitors. Presiding Elder J. T. Smith of the Kansas district delivered a rich, logical, scholarly and spiritual sermon at the 11 o'clock service. Rev. Williams, pastor of Ebenezer church, Kansas City, Mo., preached the afternoon communion sermon to a large and highly appreciated audience. At this service a number of visiting ministers from both cities were present who assisted in this sacred service. Presiding Elder Smith preached another fine sermon at 5 o'clock at which time one joined the church. Dr. Griffin, pastor of this church, the pulpit giant, in every capacity of the church, was much in evidence with his singing and short talks. The choir furnished that music which they are widely known to possess. The quarterly conference of the fourth and last quarter was held Monday evening at 8 p. m. at which time the presiding elder and members of the church heard reports from all departments of the church, which will probably go down in church history at First A. M. E. church as being marvelous. Dr. Smith left Tuesday feeling exceedingly happy over his last quarterly meeting in Kansas City. The one hundred church units that have on a rally are warning up rapidly in all parts of the city. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. Although their earthly shepherd was absent, most members of this church attended their own services. The covenant at 11 a. m. was beneficial. Deacons Ford and Thomas led and Rev T. D. Lee of Lawrence, officiated, otherwise. In a unique manner after many had testified, he caused a large number to rise at once and testify their love for the Lord Jesus, causing every Christian present to speak and made a solid phalanx for the Master. At 3 p. m. the Uniform Rank of K. P.'s had a sermon. At 7:45 p. m. Rev Lee preached a good sermon and caused more to join the church. Among those who joined were Dr. Gray's wife, Mr. Whipple and others. Sacrament was administered by Rev. Williams and Rev. Lee. Next Sunday, Sept. 16, the pastor will preach from Rev. 13th, about "The beast rising out of the sea," the famous sermon, "666." All should hear this. 70-MILES OF BRICK ON KANSAS ROAD HIGHWAY FROM HORTON TO SCRANTON TO BE IMPROVED Topeka, Sept. 13.—A seventy-mile stretch of brick highway, eleighteen feet wide, and stretching from Horton south through Holton and Topeka and on to Scranton, and to be built immediately. This is the plan, of the, Capital Highway association, formed yesterday In Topeka, with an avowed program calling for immediate work. The new highway came into existence yesterday as the rain ponred down at the fairgrounds and hurried the good roads boosters in the People's pavilion to the few places where the water was not pouring through the tent. Many of the men were many miles from home with little prospect of making the return during the day over nuddy dirt roads, but this situation seemed only to spur them on to greater enthusiasm in the demand for 365-day roads. Men representing all the affected counties declared their intention of starting the ball rolling without delay, Jackson reporting that the route through that county had been mapped already, districts formed and petitions prepared for immediate circulation. Men were appointed, who will be responsible for similar activity near of the other counties. Mra Belle Hall, 1000 Walker avenue, is on the sick list.

ROADS TO BOOST NEW LIBERTY BONDS RAILROAD WAR BOARD ADOPTIONS PLANS FOR PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. Washington, D. C., Sept. 13.—Fairfax Harrison, chiefman of the railroad war board, authorizes the fellowing at the request of the treasury department: "The railroads of the United States will co-operate in the publicity campaign that is being planned for the second liberty loan. Colored posters advertising the new issue of liberty bonds will be placed in the waiting room of every railroad station in the country. Through these posters the treasury department will be able to reach the millions of persons who use the railroads and present them with timely information concerning the second liberty loan. "The 1,750,000 employees of the railroads will also have the subject called to their attention by a series of posters that will be placed in the railroad shops and all other places where employees assemble. More than $20,000,000 worth of the first issue of libery bonds were purchased by railroad employees."

GROSS 721 Spring Street LITTLE ROCK ARK Stockholm, Angered by Revelations in President Wilson's Expose of Duplicity, Demands an Explanation—Argentina Scene of Riots Against Germans. Washington, Sept. 13. Argentina already is aligned on the side of the entente allies. Sweden may so be allied within the next 24 hours. These are features of the exposure by Secretary Lansing of the duplicity of Count Luxburg in advising the sinking of Argentine ships by sending such a message through the Swedish foreign office to Berlin. and German newspapers, attacked the occupants, stoned the windows and finally set whole buildings afire. There were many battles between the crowd and police, the latter charging men cleverly into the rioting mobs with little success. Immediately upon the blowing of the great steam whistle at the Presna building, which signaled the expulsion from the republic of Count Luxburg the German charge 'daffaires, crowd In Swedish quarters it was leaked that the Stockholm foreign office will present to Berlin demands for an explanation of Luxburg's conduct only second in vigor to the representations of Argentina. Sweden alleges that her diplomats were as grossly deceived as was the government of Argentina. It is now reported that the offensive messages were presented for transmission through Sweden on the assurance of the honor of Count Luxburg that they contained no matter offensive to the entitle. It is known that the state department has other documents in the transaction that have not yet been made public. It is believed that both Dr. Noon, the Argentine minister, and Baron Arkebhelm, counselor of the Swedish legation, have been permitted to learn the character of these documents and that they have recommended to their governments to be advised thereby. In view of the authenticity of the documents revealed by Secretary Lansing it is not believed that Berlin can make an explanation that will be satisfactory to Buenos Aires. A break in relations, if not an actual declaration of war, is confidently expected here. Most important of all, however, the public opinion of Argentina and all South America has been definitely turned away from the Teutons and their style of making war and in favor of the United States and the entents. Buenos Aires, Sept. 13.—Troops patrolled the streets today to prevent further anti-German demonstrations and to protect German property. An armed guard has been placed around the German and Swedish legations. A violent anti-German outbreak swept the city yesterday. Riots were in full swing far into the night. Mobs gathered in front of German shops BARLEYCORN CAUSED LAST NIGHT'S RIOT Men Who Started Things Boozed Up in Wet Block Saloons. BOTTOMS BONE DRY Mayor Mendenhall Praises Leaders for the Deportment of Strikers. John Barleycorn was responsible for the big disturbance down at the state line last night in which three men wee injured. This is the view taken by Mayor Harry A. Mendenhall, who was in the thick of the fight. "The trouble is all traceable to the saloons in the 'wettest block,'" the mayor said today. "We had urged time and again that the saloons there be closed, but no attention was paid to our request until the expected thing happened. Yesterday these saloons were crowded all day and hundreds of men, many of whom weer foreigners, and a good many of them packing house men, were made drunk." The police were powerless to deal with such a situation and the only wonder is that it wasn't worse. "Several of the strike leaders and many of the strikers themselves tried to quiet the crowd, but the ones who were making the trouble would listen to nothing." Mayor Mendenhall and Chief of Police Gordon have nothing but praise for te hostrikers in the Armourdale district. "Down there," the mayor said, "if a striker shows up with liquor on his breath the pickets take him in charge and send him home. The leaders have repeatedly told us they would stand for no disorder of any kind and they are making good their word. Too much cannot be said in commendation of such leadership. They are good citizens." Following the complaints made last night by Mayor Mendenhall and Chief Gordon and Commissioner Chapman, the Missouri side officials closed the rabons from the bluff to the state line and from the Missouri river to Turkey creek. So there is quiet everywhere in the district today and little likelihood of a recurrence of such scenes as were enacted in the streets at the Armour plant last night. Ora Ward, the Dover, Okla., young man who was hit on the head with a brick lam night, is not dangerously hurt, it was reported from Bethany hospital today. Miss. Adele Wright will attend school at Manhattan and German newspapers, attacked the occupants, stoned the windows and finally set whole buildings afire. There were many battles between the crowds and police, the latter charging mercilessly into the rioting mobs with little success. Immediately upon the blowing of the great steam whistle at the Presna building, which signaled the expulsion from the republic of Count Lurxburg, the German charge d'affaires, crowds began to gather in various parts of the city in front of bulletin boards where the news was hailed with wild cheering. Then violence found full sway. The German club was set afire. Every window in the building that houses the newspaper La Union was shattered. Flames destroyed several blocks of German business houses in Calle 25 de Mayo. The whole down town section was in the grip of mob rule. Hatred of everything German burst the bounds of law and order. Feeling has been aroused to fever pitch by the disclosures of Secretary Lansing showing that the German charge d'Affairs was sending unneutral messages to Berlin through the Swedish legation giving instructions as to the submarineing of Argentine shipping. The disorders, which began when it was learned that the German envoy, Count Luxburg, had been dismissed, continued far into the night and it was not until the government took strong measures that the crowds dispersed. It was learned from an authoritative source the Argentine government would send a sharp note to Berlin demanding a disavowal of Count Luxburg's actions and other amends.

CLYDE MARKLSY GRIMES SECURES EXEMPTION Clyde Markley Grimes of Division 2 of this city was granted exemption by the district board at Topeka yesterday. Mr. Grimes is a bank employee and was married in July. He was certified back to the local board a few days ago as having been accepted for service. According to reports of the district board's action, however, his case was reconsidered. Help Kansas as it is the youngest state of those represented and has few workers. Where shall we go and what shall we do if these strikes and this tumult continues? When will a certain people learn to keep their word and stick together? As you have sown, so you shall reap. What will your harvest be? "Be not overcome with evil but overcome evil with good."—Ronn. xii:12. Mrs. Vida White who lives on Greeley has been somewhat indisposed.

Ave. Bell Phone 180 Grand American Sailors Are Taught French THE SCHOOL OF MILITARY EDUCATION If our jackies can't speak French almost as well as they do English, or salt water English, at least, it won't be the fault of some if the hard working naval instructors who have been saddled with the task of teaching French to our bluejackets. On board ship and in the navy yards, the fighting jackies are wrestling with all sorts of French tongue twisters. Here is a typical French class aboard an American battleship tied up at a navy yard. The lesson for the day is one on battleship nomenclature. Teh diagram of a ship and the French hterms written out help the boys in their studies. THE WEDGE "Don't they fuss a lot with their hair?" "Aren't they inclined to distract their male fellow clerks?" "Do you really think, now you've given them a fair chance, that they are mentally capable of a man's work?" "Isn't their being here merely a war measure?" "How about the moral tone?" "Does it work?" Those are a few of the questions that a prying American in the heart of the city of London, put the other day to the chairman—translated in American: the president—of one of London's greatest banks. He sat at his silent desk in a room secluded from the noise and bustle of business. He was not a young man; he did not, although he had spun the financial yarn of more than his own country for years, give the impression of excessive modernity. It had even beer suggested that, before the war, his views on suffrage for women, were actively adverse. Now he sat somewhat bulkily in his chair and listened with attention to American questions. "It is not merely a war measure," he replied; "I am told by members or my staff that the tone has noticeably improved since the advent of women; it must work, or we should not keep them on; I have no complaint about the hair, and the male clerks, if anything, are doing their work better. Atogether, we find women and men equally capable." Leaning back in his chair, he spoke of the difficulties in the early days of the war of convincing conservative English banks—which had never had the night-mare vision of admitting women to their preclients—that women might be substituted for the enlisted male clerks. The necessity solved all discussion. First a few daughters and relatives of the former clerks came; then more; then outsiders. Meanwhile, as in so many other business concerns, the bank was continuing to make up to the clerks at the front their old salary, and all the old posts were waiting to be handed bock. But the war lasted. Many would never return. Of those who would come, it was certain that three years, of out of door life would make them discontented with indoor life. Most of them in the end would go to the colonies; though they had felt War, they had also felt Freedom. The women would remain. INDICT I. W. W. MEN IN THIRTY U. S. CITIES Department of Justice to Prosecute 200 Leaders in Federal Court. AROUSE DISCONTENT Authorities Make Investigations into New Song Book of Organization. Chicago, Sept. 12.—Approximately 200 of the more prominent and active members of the Industrial Workers of the World, whose activities have been centered in 30 of the larger cities throughout the United States, and extended to every industrial center in One-third of the clerks in this conservative bank, with its branches all over England and its representatives all over teh world, are now women. They are rising quite as rapidly as the men of their experience rise. And this bank is not unique. Even "The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street" herself employs a similar number of women. Once, not so many years ago, this bank manager visited banks in New York, and put, concerning women clerks, much the same questions—in more British language perhaps—that American interlocutor now put to him. He had not found many women admitted into American banks. He was told that women were not satisfactory in American banks. Yet they are satisfactory in England. And satisfied. It is doubtful if, even if they do not require the extra pin money, they will return to a leisure life. They like working in the bank. They like feeling their responsibility; they like the rest rooms, the time off for lunch the regular hours, the regular work. The only real difficulty has been to make them understand what they have at last come to understand—that a bank's business is a confidential business. One young woman held in her hands on a certain morning a cheque the size of which she had never dreamed. She was very much impressed. She noted the name of the depositor and ga-pod. That day she went to lupchon with a friend. She told him about the cheque: She confided details. She whispered the name of the depositor. The depositor was lunching at the next table. The bank manager led his guest out of the silent office, where he spun the yarn of many nations, and, together, he and she stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at the feminine heads and the masculine heads that bent over their work. What buzz there was rose from the steady progress of business. Customers came and customers went, money passed from hand to hand, cheques were deposited, books were balanced and columns were totted up of pounds, shillings and pence. "I see no reason," said the great man, considering the young women thoughtfully, "why in the course of time, women should not become managers of banks. I see no reason why they should not make as good bank managers as men." the country, will be indicted by the federal grand jury. The indictments, while not specifically announced by federal officials are based on the charge of conspiracy and according to undisputed authority startling disclosures relative to the I. W. W. plans are forthcoming in the return of the indictments next week. Government officials are reluctant to discuss the federal investigation, but it is known considerable time is being given to the investigation of the I. W. W. w song book which appears in crimson cover. On the front cover appears the following wording: "The I. W. W. song book." "To fan the flames of discontent." The latest issue of the song book is, according to the announcement on the front cover, a memorial edition to Joe Hill, a "prominent, active and forceful I. W. W. Worker, now deceased." Federal authorities recall that Hill was no active in I. W. W. circles while in Utah that he committed murder and agers. despite the threats of thousands of I. W. W. throughout the country, he became the victim of capital punishment at Salt Lake City. Government officials declare 'the book is beyond doubt the most vicious publication ever produced by men living beneath the Stars and Stripes.' They point to a "sickly parody" or "paraphrase on Onward Christian Soldiers" which appears on page No. 23 and which, as they insist, is too vile for publication. The book contains song after song reflecting the utter disregard and contempt in which the government is held by the organization. Interest also center in the wording of the forthcoming indictments which, though they are said to be but simply worded, will prove a great surprise to the I. W. W. organization which firmly asserts "no crime has been committed and nothing has been done to justify any action by the government." In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas, 3rd Div.

SLAV REBELS CUT OFF ON WAY TO PETROGRAD SLAV REBELS CUT OFF ON WAY TO PETROGRAD Government Forces Are in Control of Towns and Railroad Stations. KERENSKY IN CONTROL His Forces Reported to Have Outmauenvered Komeloff's Troops. Petrograd. Sept. 12.—The provisional government declared today taht a state of war exists in the town and district of Moscow. It is reported here unofficially that the forces of General Korniloff in the direction of Pakiff and Dno, which were marching on Petrograd, have been out maneuvered by the troops loyal to the provisional government and their retreat has been cut off. The towns of Pakiff and Luga and the railroad station at Dno were all in the hands of the government troops. Troops loyal to the government have, in many cases, arrested their Korniloff commanders. London, Sept. 12.—A gloomy view of the Russian situation was held here today. The press in its comment pointed out that Premier Kerensky is in control of teh cables and wireless at Petrograd, consequently General Kornilloff's side of teh case has not yet been presented to the outside world. Whether General Kornilloff will be successful is a question which no one will undertake to answer at this time. There exists a strong feeling, however, that Kornilloff has effective forces at his command and that he can put up a stiff resistance before he is overpowered and his rebellion put down. GERMANY MAY HAVE ANOTHER FOE SWEDEN'S BREAK MAY CAUSE ARGENTINE TO JOIN THE ALLIES Washington, Sept. 12.—The crisis precipitated by American-disclosures of unneutral aid given to Germany by the Swedish minister to Argentina is rapidly coming to a head. The most significant developments, officials here pointed out, are the explanation of the affair demanded by the Argentine congress and the statement by the foreign office at Stockholm. Diplomats here in touch with the situation in South America, particularly in Argentine, interpret the action of congress at Buenos Aires as a first step toward a break with Germany and an alignment of Argentina with other American republics which have broken relations with or declared war against the German government. The action Argentina will take toward Sweden is regarded as far less important as the stand-in regard to Germany. The statement from the Swedish foreign office is variously interpreted in different circles here. By some it is presented as the first step in an effort to justify the course of Baron Löwen, Swedish minister at Buenos Aires, who presented the objectionable proposal to Stuckboim for the German embassy in the North American capital. The reference to the part-taking of the United States in transmitting messages for a nation at war between America entered the struggle, left unpushed as a more or less fourth movement toward trying to explain why Baron Bowman actions, and the purpose of the Stockholm foreign office, to support this fellow, is pointed out also that the statement insists Sweden has as yet no official version of the affair. The statement still leaves any course open to the Swedish government, however.

It was also reported that Corporal Walter Lovell of Boston a member of the Lafayette Squadron, brought down his third victim on Monday. A member of the Lafayette Squadron on leave gives the following account of the aerial operations: "The Lafayette pilots were engaged with an enemy formation of equal strength. Pilots of squadrilla 65, hovered nearby refraining from intervening out of sportsmanship, but a fresh batch of German aircraft appeared and attacked the Americans. The aviators of Squadron 65 then hastened up and helped to drive off the Germans. It was during this brush that Corporal Campbell bagged his two Germans."
