--- Kanshistorical Society KANS KANSAS TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50. OUR PART IN VICTORY PA THE U. V The Germans signed the armistice at 2:45 p. m., Monday. War ended at 6 o'clock, which is 11 a. m., Paris time. Monday, as the whistles blew from 9 to 10 a. m., the millions of people of the United States of America began to realize that the Allies and they had gained the victory over the German military machine and the supposed unconquerable Kaiser. Then the citizens began to celebrate. By 2 p. m., an impromptu procession was formed. The seven great united U. W. W. departments had floats representing their work. The regiment from Fort Leavenworth, which drilled without any commands from their captain, gave such fine maneuvers that they received ovation after ovation. Among them were about five colored men. The state guards, led by Major D. A. Holmes, and their band, looked well and marched proudly, as our people love to do. Our Boy Scouts also marched with the other KANSAS CITY, KAS. OVER THE TOP IN U. W. W. DRIVE As usual, Kansas City, Kansas, has gone over the top. Her quota for the war fund for war workers was $187,500. Without soliciting, the people came up smiling and contributed more than $197,543 and will give more if wanted. It is a way that Kansas has of doing things. While the wealthy tight wads over on the Missouri side were holding on to their ducats, and the newspapers and solicitors were urging contributions to the deserved cause, the Jayhawks simply climbed over the top and did it with such ease and grace that they did not feel it. Very, of course, Kansas will raise her quota. She always has and always will. They simply do not know anything differently. It is a peculiarity in the character of her people. Yes, we went over the top and are ready and willing to do it again. We do things that way. There are other things in this troubled world, besides making money and keeping it. Every Kansan is proud of his state and delights in doing things for his country. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES The prayers of the righteous prevailed, and the ban on holding services indoors was lifted and this church hastened to hold its longwished for services; Sunday Nov. 10. A large crowd fillet the large auditorium and Pastor Holmes preached on the "Friend that sticketh closer than a brother." When he extended the invitation for sinners to come to Christ, the choir sang "Lord I'm Coming Home," and as quite a young girl came to respond, the pastor led the congregation in singing, "Little Children, Who Love Their Redeemer." It was very appropriate and made the desired effect. He also Log R All members of th are requested to be at t 314 NEBRAS Big Log Rolling All members of the American Woodmen are requested to be at their hall— 314 NEBRASKA AVENUE TUESDAY EVENING 8 o'clock sharp We have 150 applicants to be made that night.

Banks, State Supervisor. VOLUME FIVE. --- N THE ARADE AND W. W. DRIVE Boy Scouts. Our people participated in the burial of the Kaiser in effigy in the park in front of the library. At night over 3,000 people assembled in the Kansas City, Kansas High school auditorium to hear Major General Leonard Wood talk for the U. W. W. He was escorted to the building by the colored state guards, under the command of Major Holmes, the Shriners' band of Caucasians were also in the escort. As General Wood is called the best loved soldier in America, he received triple and quadruple ovations after ovations. He spoke beautifully and sad. He was eulogied by Mr. Brokaw; after appropriate music, "Yankee Boy," "America,' etc., the great soldier was carried over to Convention Hall, and this closed one of the greatest days in this city since it was founded. The only day that can be greater or better celebrated will be the real "Peace Day" when some of our boys come marching home. spoke of the coming of peace from the great world's war. The services at 7:45 p. m. were fine also; and $120 was lifted in an ordinary collection. Mrs. W. G. Wood, the organist, has eleven others beside herself, representing the twelve months of the year, to pay the last indebtedness on the pipe organ, which, at par, cost $2,500. The pastor says the members have done superfine on that debt, as they will end it by Dec. 5th. Others say, "They have raised more money by ordinary collections than any church we know of." Come to this church Sunday, Nov. 17th, and get acquainted and make yourself at home in God's Temple, and be blessed. THEY SAY— "One float in the Victory parade had a banner which read, "The flag that never knows defeat," which means the same as the colored man's original, "The old flag never touched the ground." "Wonder why our Sumner High students did not parade?" "A prominent member of the Y. W. C. A. says, "The Neighborhood Bible Class is a fine davertisement for the "Y." "Some one said as the above Bible class through faith started outdoor meetings that they especially pray for peace. Their prayers and all true Christians' prayers were answered with an armistice, the forerunner of peace." TUSKEGEE INSTRUCTOR NOW A MEAT INSPECTOR. New York, Nov. 12.—John E. Shaw, ex veterinarian at Tuskegee Institute, has passed the examination as government meat inspector and has been assigned to the United States Dressed Beef company. Mrs. Dyson returned home after an absence of sixteen months in Danville, Va. She brought her mother, Mrs. Ivy, with her. CITY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1918. ER SHACKLEFORD DINTED ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY LAWYER SHACKLEFORD APPOINTED ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY creed or nationality, but from a standpoint of ability, backed up with character and manhood. Attorney Shackelford graduated from one of the best law schools in the country, Ohio State U., Columbus, Ohio, where some of the greatest judiciary of this country are to be found. Attorney Shackelford has practiced his chosen profession in this city for about twelve years, and this recognition shows to the extent of his success. He has always stood well with the bar of this county and state. This is one office which will make good. ILL BE INITIATED BY EVENING BY AN WOODMEN CLASS OF 150 WILL BE INITIATED NEXT TUESDAY EVENING BY THE AMERICAN WOODMEN ent to see that it is well done. Texas in the last month took in 700 members and in every state where Woodmen are found a great increase showed over the previous month. Supervisor Banks has made Kansas one of the hotbeds of Woodcraft in the short time he has been its State Supervisor, and greater things will no doubt be seen under his efficient management. ELEVEN SERVICE STARS IN HIS FLAG Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 11.—In Atlanta's great Service Flag parade, composed of white and colored divisions, the star marcher whose pictures were featured in the papers next day, was an old colored man named Isaac Sims. Though 78 years old, he marched along with his service flag, with its eleven stars in two installments, one on each shoulder. Three of his sons are in France and eight more in the training camps. Three others registered September 12 and wait their call. What family is doing more toward bustling the Hun out of other folks' "place in the sun." TAKES OVER A $100,000 BUILDING Chicago, Nev. 14.—Bishop R. A. Carter of the C. M. E. church scored another signal victory last week when he closed a deal with the officers of Park Avenue church, which turned that $100.000 church and all of its furnishings over to the C. M. E. denomination. This is considered the best bargain that has been made in this city in recent years. First services were held Sunday when Bishop N. C. Cleaves of Memphis, Tenn., silver-tongued orators, delivered a great sermon at 11 o'clock and Editor J. Arthur Hamble of Jackson, Tenn., spoke at night. Drs. N. I. Smith of St. Louis; W. H. Parker of Gary, Ind., and W. S. Ferguson of Milwaukee; Winters and Bryson of this city took part in the services Bishop Carter is a great missionary and is planting his church throughout the North and East. We regret to hear that Mrs. W. Ward of Colorado, formerly Miss Janette Green, is quite sick at her home. The first appointment to be made by any of the newly elected county officials was done last Thursday by Prosecuting Attorney Justin Biard, who was elected to this office November 5th by two thousand majority. Attorney E. A. Shackelford, one of the race's bright young lawyers, was the choice and wisdom of Mr. Baird's selection for one of his assistants. While we can congratulate Mr. Shackelford, we can say as much for Mr. Baird, and we predict he will be made to feel in the tenure of his office he used the full capacity of his best judgment, not because of color, The American Woodmen of this city, according to their monthly report by the State Superintendent, W.

ADVOCATE --- BRAVE LIEUTENANT MERRYWEATHER KILLED IN FR BRAVE LIEUTENANT MERRYWEATHER IS KILLED IN FRANCE On Wednesday this week Mrs. Maude Merryweather, 824 Oakland avenue, received the sad intelligence through mail from a French commander that on October the 6th, under heavy and prolonged shell fire, her husband, Lieut. Moses Merryweather was killed. The letter was of four pages and with words of much feeling and sympathy, stated the bravery of Lieut. Merryweather under the heavy and prolonged shell fire. This is the first casualty reported for this city from overseas among our colored soldiers. Lieut. Merryweather had been in the service 20 years, and received his commission January the 25th last, at Fort Riley, Kansas, where he had been for a number of years in the Mounted Service School as first ser- FIRST BAPTIST After four weeks of closed church doors, weeks which seemed to be twice as long because they were closed, the epidemic ban is lifted and glad voices of praise can be heard all day in the houses of the Lord. The old adage that good comes from every apparent evil proved itself true again in this influenza ban. The evil, of course existed in being out of church, but the good came of the fact that our hearts were so lonesome for the word of God, and for the mingling with each other and the kind happy greetings and hand shaking that always goes with church. Because the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, seems to sense just how his people had been feeling during these churchless weeks, he preached a most appropriate sermon. It just touched the right spot in the heart of each one present. It was the 42nd Psalm. "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after the, O God." It was a beautiful sermon and enjoyed by all in the crowded house. The rally Sunday will be the second Sunlay in December, so please every one of us try to fulfill our pledges and as much over as we possibly can. The second Sunday is Dec. 8th. BIBLE CLASS The Neighborhood Bible Class will meet Wednesday, Nov. 20th, at the Y. W. C. A. At one of its recent meetings although it was raining, a large number were present. Mrs. Williams, the new matron of the "Y," made her first talk before the class and was so pleased she said she wished for such a meetnig three times a week. Miss Harris also gave an encouraging talk. The leader always has a good written thesis of the lesson. Lesson for Nov. 20th is St. Mark X. All are invited. Good music. Mrs. Joseph Law, 933 Oakland avenue, after two weeks' illness, is able to be out. Why Not AMER WOOD Why Not Join the AMERICAN WOODMEN?

He left January the 29th and arrived in France about April the 1st and was soon placed in a French sector, where he made a great record as a soldier and officer for bravery and remained at his post of duty, as his French commander stated, until the very last. Lieut. Merryweather will be remembered by many here, as his last act was the Sunday before he left, when he, with soldierly poise, went forward and joined the First A. M. E. church of which his wife is a member. His friends with regretful hearts that he was not returned to us and his sorrowed wife, Mrs. Merryweather and family ties have, including The Advocate, the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. He died for his country. Who could do more? REMARKABLE RISE OF INDUSTRIOUS COLORED BARBER Atlanta, Ga.—The Atlanta Constitution, Georgia's biggest newspaper, devoted a whole page to an article which informed its readers that this city boasts the finest barber shop in the world. This important information would be of little interest to the colored people of the United States were it not for the fact that the owner and mangaer of this shop, Mr. A. F. Herndon, is a very prominent member of our race. Besides producing a nice big photograph of Mr. Henden, the edition presented the history of such a grand place, which traces back as far as a one-chair shop with the "boss" himself in the box. He-was always at his post and greeted everyone with a smile. From one chair, he developed to four and it was then that he adopted the motto: "Service First." The business increased rapidly and it became necessary to make an eight-chair shop. It was then considered the pride of the city and everyone was delighted to frequent such a place. Mr. Herndon catered to the trade and made a big-success of the business. He now operates twenty-five chairs and the shop is termed, "The Palace Barber Shop of the World." The shop has all colored barbers, cashier girls, boothblacks and attendants. All barbers are dressed in white suits, white shoes and cream bow ties. Fresh suits every day is the rule. Mr. Herndon is very proud of his employees and at his mansion every New Year's day, he entertains them with a big ball especially for them. His home is unquestionably the finest in the South that is owned by a black man, and is considered a close rival of Madam Walker's palace in New York City. Mrs. Carrie Brown, of Atchison, visited Mr. and Mrs. G. Fairfax, on State, Sunday and returned the same day. t Join the RICAN OMEN? NO.15.

It is over much quicker than the most sanguine expected. When the Americans came in, just at a critical time, it did not take much longer to knock the Hun out. We were treated with contempt by the Kaiser and his followers, not mentioned, for a long time, but finally the butchers, the ravishers, the unspeakable Hun had to acknowledge that our troops were in it for business. The Iola Register, under the above caption, has the following timely observations to make on the subject and will be read with interest and pleasure by those fortunate enough to see the publication and get former Congressman Scott's opinion of the subject as it occurs to that able statesman and true patriot. He says: "The war is over!" "The war is over!" One keeps saying the words again and again, trying to realize what they mean, trying to force himself to KNOW they are true! We have been well schooled, and we Americans, to be on our guard against expecting an early peace. We have steeled ourselves for a long war, with all of its burdens and sacrifices and heart-wrenching losses. And so it is really hard to believe that the glorious news is true! But it IS! IT IS! The armistice has been signed and its terms are such that however much they may protest the conditions of final peace the Huns never again can fire a hostile gun. The triumphant armies of the Allies are in possession of all the strategic points, the German troops are virtually disarmed and little better than prisoners. The German submarines and battleships are helpless under the guns of the Allied fleet. But best of all the Kaiser, William the Accursed, is uncrowned and a fugitive. To save his forfeited life from the wrath and vengeance of his own so long deluded people, he has fled from Germany to take refuge in a medieval castle in Holland—being led there, one might believe, by the instinct of kinship, for he himself is a survival, out of time, of the medieval ages. And along with the Kaiser have gone his sons and all the little kings and princes who called themselves the divinely appointed rulers of Germany—all have fled before the rage of the awakened and disillusioned people. At a stroke, over night, Germany has been changed from one of the most absolute monarchies to one of the most liberal of democracies. Never again can an autocratic anachronism, merely because he calls himself Kaiser, set the world on fire and send millions of men to their death. The thing for which the civilized nations of the world have been fighting for more than four bitter years has been accomplished. Despotism is dead! And America was in at the death, thank God! We were slow realizing that it was our fight. But when we did awaken to that knowledge, the world found it out! From the Spanish Influenza can be prevented easier than it can be cured.

Friday class meeting 8 P. M. CHURCH NEWS First A. M. E. church, after being closed for four weeks, opened Sunday with great rejoicing to a filled house of hungry church goers. Rev. Griffin was at his best and was full of fire from on high. His subject was taken from the First Kings, 19th chapter, 12th verse, "A Still Small Voice." It was beautiful and showed that in all the great calamities of wind, earthquakes and fire that God's voice was not heard until everything had subsided and the comparison what we might look for after our world's war conflict was ended, was brought out in a vivid, but logical sense. Christians and sinners grasp hold of the situation, and two strong, reasoning men of the world, were happily converted and five others of the Christian faith connected themselves with the church. It was a happy scene and scarcely a dry eye could be seen in all the congregation. The choir, with Major N. Clark Smith leading, seemed to sing with such a sweetness and feeling, no one could help from saying hallelujah. Many strangers and visitors were in attendance at all the services, where they always find a welcome reception. The Sunday school, after four weeks of closing, found the faithful in their places as teachers and scores of bright and happy children in their scats to hear the teaching from the book of their heavenly parent. "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not." The contribution Sunday was liberal and it will continue to be so without much persuasion. The small rally that was to come off the first Sunday in this month is on, and the men are only leading the women by a small margin. The women say they will lead next Sunday. So let it be. The women are paying their $2.50 and the men are coming up with their $5.00, with more to follow. paths of ease and peace and plenty, from the ways of money getting and pleasure seeking, this mighty nation tuned in a day and with one mind to the iron tasks of war. Money without stint or limit was provided in order that force without stint or limit might be brought to bear upon our foes. Guns, munitions, ships, and above all, men and men and ever more men, were poured into the great work. And they turned the tide. It is not for us to boast, for we know now that France and Britain and Belgium were fighting our battles along with their own for nearly three years while we waited. But we have the satisfaction of knowing, without any necessity for boasting, that it was the weight and strength of this giant republic that finished the fight. Only a hundred days ago, before any of our troops had gone under fire, the Germans were within 35 miles of Paris. And then came Chateau Thierry, where American marines stopped the Hun hordes and flung them back—and kept them going! And then came Belleau Wood and then St. Mihiel, and then the Battle of the Argonne, and then on and on and on—Americans everywhere, strengthening the line all the way from Metz to Ghent, and everywhere victorious, everywhere beating the best that the Kaiser had to throw against them. Oh, it is magnificent, the account the boys have given of themselves! Magnificent the way America, after 140 years, has paid back the debt she has owed to France! Magnificent the way she came to the succor of Belgium! Magnificent the way she joined with Britain in whole-hearted kinship, to beat into the very dust the face, the hard and hateful and brutal face of the Hun—into the very dust! The war is over! And America had her share in the winning of the mighty victory! Thank God! Thank God! If the terms of the armstice are lived up to, it is not far from an "unconditional" surrender, save that the conditions are indicated. In effect it is practically an unconditional surrender. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE If Holland wants to help herself in addition to doing a proper thing for the world, she will surrender the butcher, the late emperor, to be dealt with by the Allies, in a way that he so ustly deserves. Those responsible for this terrible war should be made to suffer for their crime. Unless some unexpected condition arises we will soon have peace established. Some are suspicious of the Hun, in anything he agrees to do. It is well t obe on the lookout, but it is not likely that the "unspeakable" pirate can help himself now. He is beaten and the civilied world applauds. What has become of the boast that the Kaiser made to the effect that the United States should pay for the expenses of the war? The victory for the Allies is complete, and thank heaven America contributed an honorable part towards the desired end, even if she did come in rather late. Our country has been made more glorious by the great sacrifices and bravery of our stalward troops. Have you contributed to the great work of aiding our boys over there in their final stay? Now is the time to show our appreciation of their valor. Give all you can, then some, for the associated organizations are doing a great work in aiding our boys to finish their work. Remember that whatever you do is small compared with what our troops have done. So "invest" in this fund. It draws the highest interest of any yet, it is the satisfaction of aiding those who offered their lives to our country. From the enthusiastic demonstration over the approach of peace, it is very clear that we are a peace-loving people. We have no desire for war save when a great principle is at stake, which concerns out rights. But for insolent autocracy, the terrible conflict which has been raging for the past four years, would never have occurred, for the peoples of Europe, too, are all but insane at the prospect of returning peace. It is to be hoped that never again will the world see another war. Surely we have advanced in civilization to the extent that our disagreements might be settled by civilized means, without appealing to arms. There must be statesmanship sufficient among the nations that war should be no more. Yes, the terms of the armistice are all right if the "high command" of the Allied armies say it is. Foch has fixed things so tight that even the unreliable, tricky Hun cannot slip through, provided the new government can deliver the goods. It is well no tto be too sure of the immediate return of peace, for we are dealing with a cunning, deceitful enemy, one which will consider a bargain a "scrap of paper,' 'if it is to his interest to do so. All this abdication may be a trick and the Kaiser may yet get back on the throne. While it looks like the fight was over, it is well to keep one eye on the treacherous enemy, for there may be a scheme in all this abdication to conjure up an excuse, not to be able to comply with the terms of the armistice. Amidst the rejoicings over the dawn of peace, with a great victory, it is a great comfort to realize that our people did their patriotic part towards winning that victory. Our boys offered their lives freely and their record as faithful and valiant soldiers is without a blemish. In every engagement, in which the colored troops participated they covered themselves with unsullied glory, as American soldier. They never flinched from any duty required of them and nobly sustained every point that they were called to support. It is needless to say that "we back home" are justly proud of them, every one of them, and there is a reception awaiting them when they return that will tell, in no uncertain sound, that the country appreciates their services. Moreover, the civilian part of our population did its duty also. It has contributed to every cause which was presented, to the full extent, of their means The country at large, the government under whose flag we gladly serve, will have an opportunity to show its real appreciation of the patriotism and faithfulness of our people when our beloved country needs the service of its citizens. We are all glad and join in the rejoicing. Cleaners that Clean. Bouldin Cleaners, 1606 North Fifth street. Phone West 838. Let us have peace.

Every effort is being made to make this session historic. Twenty-seven years having elapsed since, in Topeka, the Association was organized, the Executive Committee desires the active, qp-operative sup- Port of all societies, that a program may be presented commensurate with the occasion, thus making this ses- sion a celebration. It is desired that every person keep this idea in view. There wil Ibe many new features this year, including a symposium in which the Presidents of all colored colleges of the Middle West have heen esked to serve, Further, the Hon. James Weldon Johnson, of New Yorke will addvess this meeting. THERE SHOULD BE NO REA- SON SO GREAT THAT THE AT- | TENDANCE WILL SUFFER, THE ‘GREAT WAR DEMANDS . THAT THE DARKER RACES SHOULD ; PRESERVE THEIR EDUCATION- AL SOCIETIES; THAT THE IN- TELLECTUAL ELEMENTS SHOULD NOT BE CRUSHED OUT, | BUT THAT THEY MIGHT RE- CEIVE THE MOST SCRUPULOUS | ATTENTION IN VIEW OF THE FACT THAT A RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD MUST FOLLOW THIS CONFLICT. Getting behind the Interstate sim- ply means that you are furnishing the stimulus for inspiration and en- couragement,—a thing every colored person needs in these trying times. Reasonable rates are offered. The cost of boarding and rooming facili- ties will not exceed oné dollar and a half ($1.50) a day. Any literary society, debating club, or other organization rendering pro- grams of a litlerary or musical char- acter is eligible to membership, and will be admitted upon sending to the Corresnording Secretary on ar before December first, the name of the or- ganization and city in which such so- ciety is located. If not on the roster of the 1917 session. a membership fee of $1.50 must be paid. Societies recorded at the 1917 session retain their membership, by sending the Cor- responding Seerctary $1.00 on or be- fore December 1, 1918. Each society thus enrolled is entitled to three dele- gates and to be further represented by one of this number on the pro- gram. Contests—One evening will be giv- en to contests in oratory, original po- etry, original musie and ‘declamation. To the winners. fire+ »-d second prizes will be awarded.

Its square flat houses stand in straight even rows and along one side of the city wall is a long dormitory for single women. There are many more of them than of the families in the drab little houses. The village is full of women—old, young, middled—whose faces, hands and hair slowly are turning yellow from the powder which it is said will eventually affect their lungs. But most of them are refugees and the fact that they are giving up their good looks, their health, and perhaps their lives in the munition factory, is of little moment to them. They have come into the walled town from ruined villages and devastated farms with their frightened little children, their despairing old people, carrying all their earthly possessions in tiny bundles. In their individual lives there is no future; in all their world there is no interest but the conquest of the Hun. No one comes into this little war community that centers around the big new munitions plant but those who work. Because of the danger and the blighting yellow powder, the work is highly paid and all the workers are volunteers. The women wear overalls or apron dresses, some of black sateen, some nondescript. The dull garb harmonizes with the yellowing faces and despairing eyes. Into this modern walled city of despair the Blue Triangle has flashed the first message of hope. The Y. W. C. A. foyer is the only recreational center within reach. The cars which find cafes at the end of the line a mile away, stop running at seven o'clock to save fuel. The city is three miles from the factory. "My problem," writes the Y. W. C. A. secretary In charge, "is to keep the women occupied in the evenings, to give them good healthy amusement so that they will forget their sorrows and go to bed and sleep, physically tired out from playing." She goes on to tell of some of the women and girls who come to the foyer: "There is a pretty little round, rosy cheeked girl here who is just beginning to show the effects of the powder. The roots of her hair and her forehead are a pale yellow. The palms of her hands are a deep burnt orange and her hands and arms a bright yellow. "There is an ex-professional dancer, an interesting girl who enjoys the foyer and helps entertain the other girls. There is a professional pianist who does her bit at the noon and evening hours. There is one rough-and-ready girl who speaks English, whose father was an innkeeper in northern France. There is a pretty little girl who is engaged to a] French soldier who still is rejoicing over the five minutes she had with him recently during an air raid. His mother is the caretaker here and he is one of six sons in the war. Two of them are German military prisoners, two are civil prisoners in Germany and two are soldiers in the trenches. Her home in the north of France was destroyed and she escaped with a small bundle of such things as she could carry in her hands. "There is a sweet-faced girl who was a lacemaker in Valenciennes, who came direct to us from the German-ridden section after a hard experience in getting away." These are the women the Blue Triangle is helping to forget—perhaps only for an hour at a time—the horrors that have blackened their heartstones and darkened the world. "My foyer," the secretary writes. "consists of a hall and two large rooms with cement floors. One has a writing table and paper, pens and ink, sewing machines, a cupboard with teacups in it, a large table with papers and magazines, easy chairs and my desk. The other room has a piano, more tables, chairs, ironing boards and a Vitreola. There are unframed French pictures and American and French war posters around the room. The walls are painted gray and white." Saturday evenings they sing and dance. "First they have a chorus," writes the secretary, "such as Le Reve Passe' or the 'Hymne des Avateurs' or something equally thrilling, and at the final notes of triumph a voice at my ears begs, 'Un polka, mees.' The polka finished, there is a call for the 'Hymne American' and we sing the 'Star-Spangled Banner,' (Le Drapeau Etolle) in two languages." These foyers have been established in several munition centers in France. Each one has a cafeteria, a recreation hall and rooms fitted up as rest rooms, writing and sewing rooms. At night these rooms are filled with French girls learning English, bookkeeping or stenography, that they may work in the offices of the American Expeditionary Forces. In connection with each is a large recreation field or park. At the request of the French ministry of war the Young Women's Christian association has opened clubrooms for the sixteen thousand French women employed in the offices of the war department. So successful has been the foyer work in France that a call has come from England to the American Y. W. C. A. to bring its Blue Triangle huts and foyers across the channel. The English Y. W. C. A. has established centers for munitions workers on a smaller scale, but after inspection of the American work in France the four English representatives to the Allies Women's congress in Paris in August officially requested that the American Y. W. C. A. undertake similar work in DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM Youngster's Chief Enjoyment of Vacation Came From His Defiance of All Conventionalities. The best sort of vacation and the only kind that really is a benefit to the one taking it, according to Lewis Weisenberger, is the one on which all conventional rules of conduct are broken. To enjoy a vacation one must do absolutely as he pleases, Mr. Weisenberger continues. In proof of this contention Mr. Weisenberger tells the following story on a young lad with whom he hibernated in the wilds of Michigan for several weeks this summer. The campers had taken a large supply of towels with them, as bathing was expected to feature the holiday events. On arrival at camp each member of the vacation party received his apportionment of the towels and the lad was duly included in the division. On the second day of the vacation week Mr. Welsenberger was surprised to find the young lad's supply of towels packed securely away in one corner of the cottage, thus far untouched. He immediately summoned the lad and inquired whose towels he had been using, since his own supply was undiminished. He was not a little taken back by the lad's reply: "Aw, I didn't wash my face yesterday." Even with face unwashed and towels untouched, the young barbarian probably enjoyed the vacation trip more than did any other member of the party, Mr. Weisenberger says. And the reason for the lad's enjoyment, he believes, is the fact that he violated all rules of personal etiquette and lived one entire day with his face innocent of ablutions.—Indianapolis News. REALLY NO TROUBLE AT ALL Possibly American Colored Cook and French Baker Belonged to the Same Lodge. The American Red Cross canteen at Dijon, France, boasts the possession of Tom, a colored cook from the state of Georgia. Saturday nights Tom makes "something special." The last Saturday in August the special was chocolate layer cake. Thomas had no suitable oven, and so without the aid of a single word of French he induced a nearby French baker to loan his idle ovens. "How did you do it, Tom?" Miss Field, the directress, asked him. "Oh, I jes' told him that these here boys of ours would certan'y appreciate it if he would bake a little cake for 'em. An' he didn't make a no fuss 'bout it. 'Certainment,' he says, and so I puts the cakes in the oven, an' that's all there is to it." "Tom," replied Miss Field, "you are a wonder." That is what our boys said when they ate the cake. Deserves a Better Job. We climbed into a motor accompanied by Marcus, Marcus, by the way, is one of the characters of the unit, Major Theodore Waters writes in the Christian Herald. He is more than that; he is an institution, is Marcus—a product of the peculiar stress through which Jerusalem has passed. he says he is 14 years old. But he looks much younger and acts much older. He can read and writes English, Russian, French and Arabic, and he passed through all the regimes, Turkish, German and English, and he has taken toll of each in the acquiring of languages and baksheesh. Yet, strangely enough, he is both industrious and honest, and is the sole support of his widowed mother. If you would know what he looks like, imagine a gnome about three and a half, feet high, as broad as a brownie and as brown as a berry, with two big dark eyes that shine out of the middle of a perpetual smile. New Motive Power for Barges New Motive Power for Barges. In a novel English method of propulsion for canal barges, a small air pump driven by the engine creates a vacuum in the chamber containing the propeller, and this draws the water above the level of the canal. This arrangement is claimed to lessen the erosive effects making increased speeds practicable. A barge of 32 tons was prepared for trial by mounting on it an old motor car engine of 18 to 20 horse power, and from preliminary tests was expected to run about five miles an hour when loaded, and eight or nine miles when empty. Heroic Frenchman. Lleut. S. Coulier, French ace, twenty years old, and who has brought down 17 Boche planes in France, has given onlookers thrills by his nery performances at all fields in the United States. He came over from France a few weeks ago as instructor. His favorite pastime is to execute all the great stunts, such as spinning nose dives, loops and Immelman turns with 200 feet of the ground. The average flyer, even if expert, prefers to try this game several thousand feet higher, where he is safe. Golfing Prospects. An artillery officer, who had been a fairly well known golfer and a keen enthusiast, was looking out across a rolling plain in France that only recently had been heavily pounded by shell fire. "I've seen some well trapped courses," he said, "but I must say this is the best, bunkered course I've ever run across. There's a pit every 20 feet. Far here must be about 200." THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE FOOD HOARDERS IN TROUBLE Mr. B. Z. Ant and Mrs. Camel Called On for Explanations as to Pernilicious Activity. Mr. B. Z. Ant, a well-known citizen of this community, was arrested at his home last night on orders of the food administrator and charged with boarding food. A large quantity of bread crumbs and other high-priced foodstuffs were found in the basement of Mr. Ant's home. The discovery is somewhat of a surprise as Mr. Ant has always borne an excellent reputation for Industry; in fact the proverb "Go to the Ant, thou Sluggard," so often used, was originally written about a direct ancestor of Mr. Ant. Witnesses testified that they had seen Mr. Ant on many occasions carrying food to his home and it is thought he has gone so far as to enlist the aid of his friends and relatives in carrying food. Enough edibles to list all winter were found at the Ant home. Mr. Ant is unable to give any satisfactory explanation of his offense except that some unseen force compelled him to store the food away, as he would need it later on. He denies vigorously that he intended to hold it for higher prices. His case is being considered by the food administrator. This is the second arrest made by food officials in this neighborhood recently, Mrs. Camel having been found guilty of violating the food regulation regarding the hoarding of fat. Other arrests are likely to follow.—"Bugtown Bugle." Correspondence of the Indianapolis Star. DEATH AS ENTRY INTO JOY Writer Thinks Mankind Exaggerates Importance of Incident of Earthly Dissolution. Apart from the mystery of lives cut off in their early prime, and this is the horrid catastrophe of war, it is certain that in our natural clinging to life we exaggerate the importance of the incident of death. "Will you never find an abiding peace?" said a friend to a restless poet. He replied, "All life is a wandering to find home." Michael Fairless writes in the Road Mender: "To the large majority death is Pluto, king of the dark unknown whence no traveler returns, rather than Azrael, brother and friend, lord of the mansion of life. Strange how men shun him as he waits in the shadow, watching our straining after immortality, sending his comrade sleep to prepare us for himself. When the hour strikes he comes—very gently, very tenderly, if we will have it so—folds the tired hands together, takes the way-worn feet in his broad, strong palm; and lifting us in his wonderful arms he bears us swiftly down the valley and across the water of Remembrance. Very pleasant art thou, O Brother Death, thy love is wonderful; passing the love of women." Local Patriotism. "The extent to which all classes of society have brought their patriotism into practice has been marvelous, was a remark made by Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood, V. C., in a recent conversation. As an instance of this he mentioned how cheaply yet efficiently a wounded soldiers' hospital, within a stone's throw of his residence at Harlow, was run. Sir Evelyn is actively interested in its management, and his daughter works there every day as a pantry maid, along with others similarly stationed in life. The cooking is done by three ex-cooks, who will not accept a penny for their services. The whole laundry work is done free of charge—London Times. Ancient Gameo Sold Probably executed for that patron of the arts, the Roman emperor Hadrian, a superb cameo of the head of Medusa, wonderfully carved from a boss of translucent chalcedony, was sold at auction here, recently, bringing 1,750 gulneas (about $8,750). It was a classic reminder of a classic sale, for it formed part of the incomparable Marlborough gulnes which realized, en bloc, 35,000 gulnes in June, 1875, passing to the late David Bromilow, of Battlesden Park. The collection was formed by George, third duke of Marlborough, and comprised gems which had belonged to such famous connoisseurs as Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel; William, second earl of Bessborough, and Philip Dormer, earl of Chesterfield.—London Telegraph, Aerial Compasses Many difficulties had to be overcome in the production of a satisfactory compass for aerial work. Chief among these was that of neutralizing the magnetism of the engine (and in particular the magneto), and of preventing the effect of centrifugal force, which caused the card or dial inside the compass to swing in a direction quite independent of north when the airplane was banking on a turn. However, a truly excellent compass is now in use. Soldiers Learning English. It has been discovered that there are thousands of men in our National army who cannot speak or read English. For that reason the library war service of the American Library association has established classes in English in nearly all of the big training camps. There is a heavy demand for books, and even "First Readers" are on the list of books asked for and—of AVIATQRS MUST DO "STUNTS" Feats That, Seem Foolhardy Really Are Most Necessary in the Training of / Irmen. Before the war there was, says Edwin Bidwell Wilson in the Yale Review, much criticism of professional exhibiting aviators who, to thrill spectators, put their machines into all sorts of dare-devil attitudes and frequently themselves came suddenly down to death. In fighting, the ability to do all manner of "stunts" is essential. The more completely a pilot can control his machine, the more easily he can toss it hither and thither—cutting figure-eights, looping the loop, nose diving and tail diving—the better chance he has for his own life and the more certain he is to get his opponent. Sad as are the continual reports of death by accident at our aviation training camps, we may rest assured that for an untrained pilot to go*overseas to the front is almost certainly fatal, and that for every life lost in training, many are saved in fighting. Fortunately airplanes today are so much stronger structurally and so much better equipped and controlled than before the war, that this necessary "stunting" in school and on the field is no longer really dangerous—the real danger now lies in physical inability to "stunt." Not only must the pilot of the single-seated fighting scout be thoroughly expert on the wing, he also must be a crack shot with his machine gun. Small wonder that it takes months and months to train an aviator who may develop into an ace. HAS GOOD WORD' FOR CROW Australian Writer Points Out Occasions When Bird Becomes a Real Benefactor to Mankind. There are those who say that the crow deserves no mercy. There is no other pest eradicator, imported or otherwise, doing its bit so patroltically as the self-same crow. In Bananaland, Australia, says the Sydney Bulletin, the ravages of the sheep-maggot fly must make a loss of hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of jumbuck every year, about the only difference in one season being that the damage is probably greater than the last. Were it not for the bird whom no one has a good word for, the fly pest would soon duplicate itself with losses to sheep-owners increased accordingly. Every dead sheep or piece of offal in the bush is the depository of the eggs of unimaginable numbers of prospective sheep destroyers. Just about the time that the grubs are the size of a grain of rice, and a few days before they burrow into the soil, where they remain for about 15 days before coming forth, as a developed sheep-maggot fly, Brother Crow spies out the colony. Then he sends the glad tidings by wireless system, and all the family within range hurries to the banquet. When it is over a supply of grubs for the next meal has to be found elsewhere. The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter mentions a new explosive being tested by the government which will save a considerable amount of glycerin. It is called nitrobyronel and is the product of Dr. Byron E. Eldred. It is claimed that it blows a chamber twice the size of that caused by T. N. T. (trinitrotolul). In the manufacture of nitrobyronel neither nitrolycerin nor toluol is used. It is a hydrocarbon obtained by a by-product in coke-oven processes. It is estimated that 50,000,000 pounds of glycerin is used in American industrial concerns, and a big saving in this important material, now growing scarce, can be effected through the employment of nitrobyronel. If a shortage of glycerin should become, imminent, the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter believes that the government would prompt start in to manufacture nitrobyronel. It is not the support of a nation buying billions of dollars' worth of Liberty bonds, breaking bottles over the sterns of new ships, knitting socks or cheering us in the movies that brings home to us the magnitude of our trust. It is all fine, but it is all too big for any one man of us to grasp. But we appreciate how great our trust is when we hear that the folks have had two pounds of sugar in six weeks, that the lady next door let her bread burn in the excitement of reading our last letter, and that the lady next door to her is working in an office and keeping the children in school while her husband is over here.—The Stars and Stripes. Forced to Move. "We've got to have a bigger house." "Outgrown the present place?" "No. We have rooms enough, in fact more than we need, but the cellar is too small." "What's the idea?" "We can't store six tons of soft coal in anything less than the basement of a church." In an American hospital in France a lieutenant who had lost both his legs in battle received a package from his wife. In-it were six pairs of socks. Raising himself as best he could in the cot, the lieutenant said: "Say, boys, what am I going to do with these now?" "I guess you're just out of luck," was the reply. New Explosive.

In France a German plane, swooping around a farmhouse, was startled and soon driven away by very accurate rifle fire. At least the firing was accurate enough to convince Fritz that he was in no safe neighborhood. But he didn't know that the rifle was being handled by a lieutenant colonel in the American army, who, enraged at the audacity of the hostile birdman, grabbed the weapon and soon had the "supremacy of the air" in that particular locality well under control. One Way Out. Two bluejackets were in the washroom washing clothes, preparatory to the weekly inspection. They were both regulars and had enlisted for four years. One of them had been in the service one year, and was rather tired of being on the station so long, and expressed his sentiments to that effect. The other, looking up at his discontented "buddle," said, "Well, if you don't like it, give three years' notice and quit the navy." Japanese Beetle in New Jersey. Japanese Beetle in New Jersey. A public hearing on the proposed quarantine of a portion of New Jersey on account of the Japanese beetle, a serious pest of certain vegetables and fruit, was held by the United States department of agriculture in Washington recently. As a result of infestation of the Japanese beetle in parts of Burlington county, N. J., the proposed quarantine is intended to prohibit the shipment from this territory of green sugar corn, ripe tomatoes and ripe peaches which might cause this pest to spread. A campaign of eradication authorized by congress is now in progress, and the proposed quarantine is deemed necessary to support the measures that are being taken for the suppression of this dangerous pest.
