Cowardly Police and Militia Search Negroe's Homes, Disarm Them, and Then Turn Them Over to the Blood-thirsty Demons Clamoring For Their Lives. Without Arms or Protection 38 are Killed, More than 200 Wounded and 325 Negro Homes are Burned and Looted. Negroes Refuse to Leave but Intend to Stay in East St. Louis and Die if Necessary for Their Homes and Rights as American Citizens; to do an Honest Day's Work for an Honest Day's Pay. Is God Dead? No! No! No! VOLUME IX. NUMBER 45. Coward Homes Over For There are Kill Homes Negroes R Die if N Citizens; IS G THE SHAME O Brutality Unparal East St. Louis, Ill ---Militia a THE SHAME OF ILLINOIS Brutality Unparalelled in the East St. Louis, Illinois, Riots ---Militia a Joke. --- The most horrible, blood curdling and wanton massacre of unarmed and defenseless Negroes ever recorded in this country (Land of the Free and Home of the Brave) occurred last Monday at East St. Louis, Ill., where 38 Negro men, women and children, two of whom were less than three years of age, were foully murdered, more than 325 homes belonging to or occupied by them being burned and a reign of terror instituted. Be it said to their credit and altho unarmed the police and militia having visited their homes during the day and confiscated all available weapons of defense they succeeded, according to a reliable report brought us by a railroad porter who witnessed the difficulty in killing 21 of the mob in addition to the four who had been killed earlier in the day. That such a thing could happen in the face of Illinois that gave to the world a Lincoln, a Logan, and a Sumner was beyond belief and regardless of the various causes it remains undenied that the police and militia acted in a most cowardly and criminal manner. The Sun is unable to present any more accurate or truthful account than the following article taken from the columns of a St. Louis daily paper which it presents in all its dreadfulness and horror to its thousands of readers: SLAIN AS THEY BEGGED MERCY Murderous East St. Louis Mobs Enjoyed the Butchery. St. Louis, July 3.—For an hour and a half last evening I saw the massacre of helpless Negroes at Broadway and Fourth street, in downtown East St. Louis, where a black skin was a death warrant. I have read of St. Bartholomew's night. I have heard stories of the latter day crimes of the Turks in Armenia and I have learned to loathe the German army for its barbary in Belgium. But I do not believe that Moslem fanaticism or Prussian frightfulness could perpetrate murders of more deliberate brutality than those which I saw committed in daylight by citizens of the state of Abraham Lincoln. I saw man after man, with hands raised, pleading for his life, surrounded by groups of men—men who had never seen him before and knew nothing about him except that he was black—and saw them administer the historic sentence of intolerance, death by stoning. I saw one of these men, almost dead fro ma savage shower of stones, hanged with a clothesline, and when it broke, hanged with a rope which held. Within a few paces of the pole from which he was suspended four other Negroes lay dead or dying, another having been removed, dead, a short time before. I saw the pockets of two of these Negroes searched, without the finding of any weapon. I saw one of these men, covered with blood and half conscious, raise himself on his elbow and look feebly about, when a young man, standing directly behind him, lifted a stone in both hands and hurled it upon his neck. This young man was much better dressed than most of the others. He walked away unmolested. I saw Negro women, begging for mercy and pleading that they had harmed no one, set upon by white women of the baser sort, who laughed and answered the coarse sallies of men as they beat the Negro women's faces and breasts with fists, stones and sticks. I saw one of these furies fling herself at a militiaman, who was trying to protect a Negro woman, and wrestle with him for his bayonetted gun, while other women attacked the refuge. What I saw in ninety minutes, between 6:30 o'clock and the lurid coming of darkness, was but one local scene of the drama of death which continued for hours. I am satisfied that in spirit and method it typified the whole. The East St. Louis men took no chances, except the chance from stray (See Page 8.

Superintendent of the Jackson County Home for Aged and Infirm Negroes, the acknowledged leader of Negro Democracy in Jackson County and the State, whose skilfull and efficient efforts backed up by the leading Negroes of the State did much to secure for President Allen re-election as President of Lincoln Institute.

The Cincinnati Post describes conditions in that city that can be duplicated in most of the large Northern cities. Negro immigrants are crowding tenements from cellar to garret. In one ward 1,793 between the ages of 21 and 31 registered, exceeding the number in the next most thickly populated ward by more than 600. These men, the Post goes on to say, will be voted en bloc, and so determine the city's mayor, its judges and other officers. The social problem is still worse. Overcrowding produces a death rate of 675 from tuber- (See Page 8, Col. 5) LISTEN. MEN! One big Pole last night said he had lost his job in an aluminum factory, his wife and two daughters had lost their places and his son had been shot by a Negro. "I killed seventeen last night," he said, grinning as he shifted an ax he was carryihg from one hand to the other. "And I am going to get a few more if I get a chance." The Sun believes and fervently prays that God will damn every male Negro in East St. Louis yet living if that Pole is not sought out and brought to justice.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST MILITIA MEMBERS IN EAST ST. LOUIS Monday morning of this week three prominent Colored men of East St. Louis came to Springfield as a committee to lay before Arjantut General Dickerson, charges against three members of the militia on duty in that city. The committee consisted of Mrs. F. W. Wallace, editor of The Star of Zion and a member of the board of supervisors of St. Clair; S. R. Wheat, a prominent real estate and automobile agent, and Thomas Green, deputy clerk of the East St. Louis election commissioners. After an hour's conference with friends and local Colored men at the Legion office, the committee proceeded to the state house where they were cordially received by Arjantut General Dickson and laid before him the following complaint and charge: (See Page 8.

We are told that as the freight cars are standing in the railroad yards in a city an inspector is constantly go- ing the rounds and when he finds a car out of repair he takes a piece of chald and marks it “bad order.” We feel certain that if an inspector should go the rounds of the vast space examining the planets he would mark this eart hof our “bad order.” One is tempted to Jament with Wads- worth— Plain living and high thinking are no more, ‘The homely beauty of the good old cause Is gone; our peace, our fearful inno- cence, And pure religion breathing house: hold laws, All over the earth people are begin ning to that one act is nol about aan ot another, that bad things are not about as good as good ‘things; that there are problems for all men, and they require the most careful and discriminating study and sacrifice, But Sergeant Alexander McClintock of the 87th Canadian Grenadier Guard had an article in the magazine section of last Sunday's St. Louis Post-Dispatch saying, “In the latter part of October, 1915, I decided that the United States ought to be fighing along with England and France on account of the way Belgium was treated, if for no other reason. As there seemed to be a consklerable division of opinion on this point among people at home I came to the conclusion that any man who was free, white and 21 and felt as I did ought to go over and get into it.” _ One may share in the conclusion of Sergeant McClintock without regret- ‘ting the wholesome progress that has been made in getting volunteers who are free, black, and 21, and feel as he does and it is well for him to re- member that Negroes are not exhil- arted with the desire to stand befoer the presence of the German military machine and show off. Despite this fact the America’s enemies must know that the Negro soldier is armed with- out and a good many people are in- terpreting Pope's line, “He's armed ‘without that’s innocent within,” not only as applicable to his irresponst- bility as to the earth’s bad order,” ‘but his intimate acquaintance with ‘the seamy side of life enables the Negro to endure hardness as a good soldier, His enemies have one to his ‘friends with tales of disloyalty and treason. But the Negro is incapable of cherishing animosities. On all the National struggles in which he be: came involved as well as upon the record of things accomplished during the years of peace the Negro {s con- ‘tent to abide by the verdict of pos terity, Many of his acts and sacri | fices will be seen in their perspec: tive only when time gives it to him and even now as his loyal sons enter the services of his country he has the satisfaction of knowing that for mer asperities are softening, that his sons will return to private life ami¢ abundant respect and good will and |that the slow but just verdict of his tory will modify or reverse many of |the rash judgments passed upon the | Negro in these tempestuous days.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1917. AMONG THE CHURCHES THE MINOR PROPHET SPEAKS. Time of Revelation Began 8:30 A. M. June 11, 1917. Thus saith the Lord of Host concerning Isaiah's vision, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem the days Uzzith, Jotham Ahaz and Hezekiah, king of Judah. Thus saith the God of Heavens "Give ear old earth these names are spiritually unto your Country and Government." The vision which troubled Isaiah's head on June 5, 1917, and time of the hour was twelve minutes after twelve; I am Alpha the first and the last. Talking unto him and telling him to write what I reveal unto him, then I wrote what my father revealed unto me. I saw an ark angel by the name of Gabriel who was clothed with majesty with sword in one hand and hell—death and destruction was on New York City. Near the harbor vengeance was sworn on New York City and one-fifth of that city would be destroyed. Your God and Father saith the mystery of the interpretation belongs to Him. The sun, moon and stars obeyed. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the revelation of mystery of the vision is Revelation, 18th Chapter, 19th verse; Psalms 77, verse 19. Jeremiah, 5th Chapter, 15th verse. God says now that I sent my son in yonder world to testify of the things which shortly cometh to pass who bear the name of Isaiah Minor, prophet, who bear record of me and I of him. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts; Look, behold the record that he bore to me. Isaiah, first chapter, first verse. Jeremiah, first chapter, fifth verse. Ezekiel, first chapter, second verse Time revelation stopped 10:30 a. m. Isaiah Minor, prophet. Finally, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations and who will raise up friends to fight for us.—Oliver Wolcott. VINE STREET CHURCH All services were well attended. One addition was made to the church. ...Mrs. Ella Lawson underwent an operation but she is doing fine. We hope she will continue to improve. ...The funeral of Mrs. Matilda Derrick, who died the 26th of June, was preached Sunday by our pastor. Sister Derrick was a faithful member of our church and did what she could for the advancement of God's kingdom in the world. She was also a member of St. Mark Bible Class No. 2 of the Sunday school department. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved family. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. All services were well attended last Sunday. At 9:30 the Sunday school held an interesting session. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Dr. Bacote, preached a very instructive sermon on "The Conservation of Food." In the evening Rev. C. C. Harper of Dallas, Tex., preached an excellent sermon on "The Sufferings of Christ Were the Means of His Glory" after which the Lord's Supper was partaken of. During the day ten were added to the church. Next Sunday morning, by special request, the pastor, Dr. S. W. Bacote, will preach a sermon on "Gossip." Come to church! ALLEN CHAPEL. Dr. William H. Thomas, the minister, delivered a sermon on the "Conservation of the Food Supply." It was requested by the U. S. government authorities that this need be impressed upon the minds of the people from the pulpits. The test was "Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." Matthew 22: 21. There were two additions. At the evening service a prominent social worker made an enlightening talk on "The Reason Why Negroes Were Leaving the South"...The swimming pool will be open July and August. Come and take a swim. For special arrangements see Mrs. Johnson....The Federated Council of Church Clubs met at Allen Chapel, Monday afternoon, July 2.

EDITORIALS. The Sun is diligently trying to secure a list of the Colored people killed in the massacre at East St. Louis, but has been unable to do so as yet. As soon as obtained we will publish it. Alderman Lewis B. Anderson, of the Second Ward, Chicago, who succeeded Alderman Oscar DePriest, was presented a $600 diamond studded gold star by the citizens of the Ward and the members of the race in that city, last week. Presentation speech was made by Dr. A. J. Carey, the distinguished pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church, and fittingly responded to by Alderman Anderson. That the Negroes deeply appreciate the employment of a Colored band by the Park Board to furnish music during the summer months in those sections of the city inhabited by Colored people was evidenced last Wednesday afternoon and night by the immense crowds that assembled in Garrison Square and the Parade, 17th and Vine streets. Many white people were present and they expressed themselves as both surprised and highly pleased at the splendid program rendered by this band. The crowds were orderly and well behaved bu The Sun gently suggests that parents keep their children near them and prevent them from disturbing the concert by their prattle and play. THE JUVENILE COURT AND THE NEGRO. The thoughtful farminded people in both races are wondering whether the present political upheaval in Jackson county between the County Court and the Juvenile Court will make any improvement with regard to the consideration and treatment of the Negro. Judge Porterfield of the Juvenile Court, whose record of seven years includes no sincere or substantial effort at conservation or reclaiming weak and delinquent Negro boys and girls has proceeded on the theory which guides many other short sighted persons in similar positions where a fuler conception and a Christlike purpose might render both races a much greater moral service and the taxpayers through reduced criminal tendencies among Negro youth—an economic service. It is also rumored that one of the certain changes to take place will be the election of Mr. R. E. L. Balley to succeed Dr. W. J. Thompkins as Truant Officer and the fact that Bailey has the endorsement of a number of prominent white Democrats affiliated with Judge Bulger as well as the acative support of Dr. Howard M. Smith, who is the leader among the Bulger-Pendergast Negro Democrats makes it quite probable this change will be made. Judge Porterfield who is affiliated with the "Rabbit" faction moved Mr. Edw. Ross about a year ago that this place might be made for Dr. Thompkins and now the "Goat" faction are determined apparently to fill it with one of their own selection. Mr Bailey is at present Dance Hall Inspector under the Board of Welfare and was for many years the Editor of a democratic newspaper in this city RACE LOYALTY. One of the weak places in our rac Fial development is the lack of pride n. and support of Negro enterprises early all Negro business or professions that has to enter competition with the white man's business of professional activity, has more or less a struggle for existence, because of our non-support. It is a foregone conclusion, prejudice alone will turn the vast majority of other races from the door of Negro establishments and professions, and to live or die according as we have race pride royally to support them. Negro newspapers, the race's greatest mouthpiece for giving other side of discriminatory pictures drawn of us in the white press of the country, are often left suspended for lack of enough paid-up subscribers. It is a splendid thing to subscribe for and read the dailies. We must do so to keep abreast of the times but, it's a sad commentary upon our race loyalty, when numerous Negro families pay for one and two daily pay hes pay for one and two daily papers that seldom say much of us, but report the Negro who has raided a chicken roost, was arrested for store reaking, or other petty offense, and puse to subscribe for the Negro pa- that sees and tells of the High school graduates; those who finished course in law, medicine or attained less in business, insurance companies that would not employ a Negro agent, and whose representatives enter Negro homes with cigars lighted and hats on their heads, and call our wives and daughters "Sal," Jane," etc., these folks write the greater part of the Negro insurance, while companies of the race that employ our men, our sons and daughters as agents, clerks and stenographers, and send to our home courteous and respectable representatives, are left by us to make, if they can, or die if they can, or die if they must. Negro physicians also fall to hold the support needed from the race. So with drug stores, grocery stores and almost every other phase of Negro business. Our progress will be greatly handicapped until, as a people, we get to the place where we will stand by the business and profession endeavors of our own people.—Kentucky Reporter.

Elva's Profession (Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.) Cedric Shaw was intently watching the girl across the room. Sometimes the swaying dancers in the hotel ballroom came between him and her; but always his gaze went back persistently to the bright animated face of a young woman who stood talking with an elderly lady. The first thing that had attracted him was the absence of the painted lips and cheeks, which he saw on almost all of the young girls present. Next to take his attention was the pretty dancing gown, which unlike the others covered her back, and came above the shoulders all around in a becoming line. The young man could not have been called old-fashioned or "straight laced," but a certain fine respect for womanhood which had been carefully instilled in him by his mother, felt a kind of repulsion at the artificially covered faces and the too scantily covered forms of the girls he met in society everywhere. He felt that this girl must be different, and as he watched her face his conviction grew. He determined to know her, and started out to see if he could find someone to introduce him. Finally he accomplished his object, and soon found himself guilding Miss Burt through the mazes of the dancers. Yes, decidedly Miss Burt was "different." It was not long before Shaw's heart began to give curious but unmistakable evidences of being considerably off its normal condition. He managed to get an invitation to call, which was not exactly difficult since Miss Burt was quite as anxious that he should ask as he was to get the permission. If the truth must be told she was at the same time experiencing something like the same alarming symptoms the young man was suffering. She had not analyzed her reasons 63/1943 "He Lights a Bit of Paper So's He Can Look Better." for being attracted; she simply knew that she was. As these things are happening every second among mortals on this globe it seems a waste of time to librore why. Elva Burt lived alone in a "furnished room" in the big city. The bed masqueraded as a couch during the day, and a screen covered the stationary washstand. She made it look like a sitting room, and the house was clean and respectable, if not fashionable. Still she felt a slight qualm at receiving the stranger in her humble quarters. He seemed to her like a man used to good society, one used to mingling with cultured people in refined surroundings. In this supposition she was right. The mother of Cedric Shaw had belonged to a family of high social standing, and his father had been president of a college. When a had of twelve, his father had died, leaving a moderate fortune to the wife and son, and at eighteen, Cedric had started in to earn his own living. He and done so well that at twenty-five he was now a junior partner in the concern. Elva, on the evening Shaw was to call, put on her most becoming frock and sat down to wait for him. "Oh, dear!" she said to herself, "It isn't very scrumptious," surveying the room. "But if he's what I think he is, he won't mind. If he does—well—" The sentence ended in a sigh. It did not appear, from the animated conversation and the length of Shaw's call that he did "mind." The next day he wrote a note of apology for having stayed so late, and asked when he might come again. Even after Shaw had become a frequent visitor and had several times taken Elva to dine and to places of onusement he knew little or nothing lit her circumstances. He had told him her parents lived in a small village or the states, and with the exception of his friends, she was alone in the city. Real was earning her own living. As to why she was earning it she had not inured him, and had easily put him of when he had asked. He concluded mochaps she might have a little foolish pride about revealing her occupation, and said no more. The suite of offices occupied by his firm were in a building which had been remodeled from a dwelling house. Next to it stood a residence which the march of business up the avenue had so far left undisturbed, and it was now rented out for bachelor apartments. One morning the papers had an item on the front page telling how Spray, Galland & Co., diamond importers, had been robbed of valuable gems by the blowing open of a safe. This was Shaw's firm, and that evening he told Elva they were entirely mystified as to how the burglarls had entered. There was a watchman on the outside who could not have failed to see them from the front, and the roof and back of the building showed not the slightest trace of any forcible entrance. About two days after this, Shaw, in passing the house next his office, saw a young man hastily coming down the front steps. Something about him caused Shaw to curseially at the man. Instantly the man turned away to avoid his scrutiny, and almost stumbled down the remaining steps, Shaw purposely stood in his way, and as the young man dodged him, caught at his arm. "Elva Burt!" he exclaimed. "What does this mean?" "Let me go!" she begged. "Let me go quickly!" "But—" he began. "Don't keep me here!" she urged. And, freeing herself from his grasp she hurried on, hailed a taxi, and had vanished before Cedric Shaw could quite collect his scattered senses. He went to his desk in a dazed state of mind. No woman except a laundress or scrubwoman was ever seen coming out of this house. For the girl whose delicate womanliness had first of all appealed to him to be seen in such a guise, and coming out of bachelor apartments, was a shock from which it was not easy to recover. He had given her the deepest devotion, the love of his life, and he had meant to tell her this. The blow staggered him. He meant to see her again, and at least try to wring from her an explanation, but he felt he could not go that day. Late in the afternoon the telephone rang, the senior partner took the message, and when he had hung up the receiver he called the heads of the firm together and told them. It was from police headquarters; they had made an important arrest—two men from the house next door. Shaw felt his heart stop beating, and things running before his eyes. What if one of these men was Elva Burt? What if he had to face her in the prisoner's dock? A detective was now on the way up, and they wished someone to remain, and go with him to the cellar. Investigation revealed a tunnel from the house next door, through which the thieves had crawled, and which they must have worked, digging for some time. The police had not yet discovered the gems, but they believed they had got the right men, the janitor and a young fellow. A "young fellow." Shaw shuddered at confronting him. They went down to headquarters. The "young fellow" was short, stumpy, and red-haired, and both men protested their innocence. "Well," announced the chief, "this was about the neatest bit of detective work you'd pull off in a month of Sundays. The finding of that hole in the cellar was a jim dandy. You see, the detective pretends to go in there to inquire about rooms, and all of a sudden he sniffs something, and he yells out to the janitor he smells fire, and it's coming from the cellar. The minute the man unlocks that cellar door, he's down there ahead of him, and nosing around to beat the band. He lights a bit of paper so he's can look better, puts it out, and sniffs a burnt smell somewhere. But he's got what he came for, the sight of a hole, and bricks and dirt behind a box, and he hasn't let on to the janitor he's seen a thing out of the common, and he's awful sorry he gave him such a scare. He finds out there's only a terribly high-priced apartment to rent, and is awful sorry again, it being too much for his purse, and he gets out, and down here quicker'n lightning. And the two fellows are jailed in just about one hour from that time." Here one of the partners asked if he might see the detective. The chief said he supposed he might—that is, if he happened to be in. He went to a door, opened it, looked in, and beckoned to someone. A neatly dressed young woman appeared in the doorway. Shaw gasped. "Miss Burt," asked the chief, "do you know where Sanderson is?" She gave him an inquiring look, then she suddenly saw Shaw's eyes upon her. Official caution vanished before the questioning of his gaze. The elder men, rushing up to her, grasped her hand, expressing their thanks and the desire to make it something more substantial than thanks. Then Shaw said, as he took her hand: "Miss Burt is a very dear friend of mine—but I never knew 'Sanderson.'" Then he drew her aside as the other men talked, and added: "I wanted to say something more than 'friend'—may I?" Her look prompted him to add: "And you'll never be 'Sanderson' again." Joy in One's Work. The idea of joy in one's work has been often ridiculed, but nevertheless it is fast taking root in the minds of many and proving its value and merit. To perform the day's work joyfully and joyously may not be possible, in cases, without effort, but the fact is being realized more and more that it is very much worth while to develop the habit. © HARRIS & EWING Uncle Sam's aircraft protection board is co-ordinating the work of airplane manufacturers and makers of allied materials in the interest of standardization and efficiency and will place contracts for everything the government buys in connection with the development of the great air-fighting force which the government plans.

Collects Information Through Several Hundred Consuls, Commercial Attaches and Special Agents. The foreign trade work of Uncle Sam's department of commerce is centered in the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, which is organized to collect commercial information in foreign countries and to distribute it to American manufacturers and exporters. Its work partakes of the nature of a commercial reconnollsance. For collecting information, it now relies mainly upon three agencies—commercial attache, special agent and the consul. The ten commercial attaches were sent to their posts about two and a half years ago, when the war started, these posts being at London, Paris, Berlin, Petrograd, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago (Chile), Lima (Peru), Peking and Melbourne. These men are highly qualified business diplomats, who are expected to be capable not only of reporting the minor incidents of commercial importance, but of following up the bigger developments, and of detecting and understanding the undercurrents of the business and commercial life of the districts to which they are assigned. The special agent is a specialist in some one line, and if he proves to be the right man he may be sent to every corner of the earth to study the markets for his line of goods. The consular service of the state department has long been one of the chief reliances of the bureau, and in this branch of the information-gathering service there are some 230 consuls. These consuls give part of their time to reporting on commercial conditions for the bureau, and in years past the publications of the bureau were based entirely upon the work of the consuls. CARE OF DIVERS' PERSONNEL Uncle Sam's Doctors Find That Duty on Undersea Craft Has Effect on Health of Men. Uncle Sam's medical officers are keeping the closest watch on the health of the personnel on duty in submarines, in order that every manifestation of bodily and mental disorder may be noted quickly. Assistant Surgeon Walter W. Cross of the navy, has compiled some interesting facts as a result of his observations of the personnel attached to submarines. He believes that long continued duty on such craft is conducive to high blood pressure. He says: "Whether this is due to mental strain, loss of sleep, overeating with lack of exercise, excessive use of tobacco, coffee and tea, or some toxic agent peculiar to submarines, I am unable to say. It is noted that a slight fall occurred after a 47-hour surface run and a three-hour dive. Undoubtedly this could be accounted for by fatigue or lack of all physical exercise during the preceding 48 hours." One effect, natural under the circumstances, was lack of weight, and it is observable that there is probably no occupation, except that of a boilermaker, giving rise to so many cases of partial deafness as submarine duty. It is not uncommon for men to report to the medical officer that they have increasing difficulty in hearing the commands. This is attributed to the constant vibratory movement of the submarine, the straining of the ears to hear above the noise of the engines, the presence of cold drafts of air down the hatches while operating on the surface, excessive temperature while running submerged, and the inhalation of gases given off by the batteries and fumes from oil tanks. However, it is believed that the number of bacteria and molds present in the air of submarines while running awash and submerged probably is less than in dwellings and battleships. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1917 Uncle Sam's Fight to Save Race Is Bearing Fruit. Trachoma Largely Subdued in Schools and Infant Mortality, Once Appalling, Reduced. Those who think of the Indians as members of a dying race are not acquainted with the progress of the work carried on in their behalf by. Uncle Sam's department of the interior. To struggle against tuberculosis and trachoma, and the fight to lower a high infant mortality rate, are generally conceded to be the greatest problems confronting medical men of the Indian office. Supplementing the work of regular agency doctors, special physicians at intervals visit the various reservations, performing eye operations, caring for defective teeth and spreading information. Already trachoma has been very largely subdued in the schools, and such new cases as appear generally come from outside. Acute cases are segregated and treated with regularity, and at present a large majority of the cases known are among the old and feeble. The unhealthy manner of living that marks the period of transition between the old life and the new is fast passing. The building of sanitary homes is urged and the value of clean food and cooking utensils emphasized. As a result of the campaign, there has been within the last three years a very noticeable falling off in the number of illnesses and deaths from tuberculosis. Last year structures valued at $775.885.57 were built on Indian reservations, and included practically everything from frame cottages and office buildings to heating plants and flour mills and laundries. The younger generation now knows that a sturdy child grows into a sturdy man, and great care is taken of the young mother in childbirth. Before the present administration assumed control, three-fifths of the little Indians died before they were five years old. The introduction and enforcement of modern methods has reduced this appalling percentage, and the health of the Indian is now, as a whole, far better than it has been at any other time since he came under the influence of the white man. WOULD USE MEXICAN GOATS Head of Breeder's Association Tells Uncle Sam's Experts They Will Help Solve Food Problem. Civilize the Mexican goat and solve the problem of the poor, was the message carried to Uncle Sam's agricultural experts by S. Douglas Demmon, president of the American Goat Breeders' association. "Since the time of the Aryan race along the Euphrates the goat has supported the poor," said Mr. Demmon. "Turn him loose on the mountainous lands of the eastern states and he'll sweep through them like the German army, turning shrubbery into meat and milk. "Goat kid flesh is a delicacy." Demonm said. "The average female goat will produce six kids a year—two or three at a time—and until these kids are six months old the meat is fine if they are fed as lambs are fed." Mexicans Turn to Business. To the chamber of commerce at Torreon falls the distinction of being the first chamber to be organized in Coahulu since the beginning of the Mexican revolution, Uncle Sam's consul at Piedras Negras reports. It is actively proceeding with the work of restoring commercial relations with other sections of the state and with the United States and regularly issues an interesting bulletin. There is a great deal of talk among the merchants of other towns relative to the formation of these business clubs. JUST MAKE A FRESH START It Is Only Way to Remedy Mistakes One Has Made as Past Cannot Be Lived Over Again. Now and then a man pauses to take account of stock, and looks back ruefully over the course of his life to note the many places where he made the wrong turn or was shoved off the track by adverse circumstances. He says to himself, believing what he says, that if he could retrace his steps and take a fresh start, knowing what he knows now, he would not make such a mess of things again. He can put his finger down on the very spot in the map of his life where he went wrong. There was a blurred place on the trail, where there was no trace of the footprint of any who passed that way and no mark of the woodman's ax upon a tree. It was for him alone to choose the way to take, and in his haste and fever to arrive he chose wrong, and has wandered ever since. A man plays a game, or runs a race or conducts a business, or marries a wife, or chooses a friend, or elects a calling, or forms a habit—and by and by the conviction is borne in upon him, like a growth weighing on the brain, that he was in error. Now it is too late to retrieve, says the Philadelphia Ledger. He must wear for the remainder of his days the millstone due to the wrong decision. What is he to do? He strangled his chance new-born. He exchanged his birthright for pottage. It is of no avail to plead that he had bad advisers, that he was misled, that he was the tool of environment, that a base heredity rose up to claim him and a latent taint in the blood broke out and wrought an irreparable mischief. The past is there, and its legend is deeply graven on his brow or seared by the brand of the iron that has entered into his soul. Can he go back? The years and the closed doors and the finished chapters tell him no. But the forward look and the futurity provide him with a better way to take. When Mrs. Peterkin, in the story, had spolled her cup of coffee by putting salt in it and was trying to redeem the error by the neutralizing action of all sorts of chemicals, the lady from Philadelphia suggested that she make a fresh cup. Seeing that you can't go back, why not make a fresh start exactly where you are? Decision has a miraculous way of finding a standpoint of rock in the middle of a quicksand. The colored laborers who were patching the street for the street car company, were discussing the fate of one Henry they had known. "Yes, sir," said one, "Henry was found with two bottles of whisky on him last Sunday, and was taken to court." The crowd stopped work to listen to the tale. The foreman was not in sight. "Well, when he was taken up in court," the speaker continued, "Judge Deery fined him $10 and sent him off to the workhouse." All the men glanced hastily around. "And Henry was there only two days and someone (it is always 'someone') up and made him a guard. Now Henry is working as a guard over the other prisoners and is getting good pay besides." "But," mourned the youngest one of the crew, "if I had done that they would have kept me there all year." "It's all in the way you apply for the job," said the narrator of the story.—Indianapolis News. Crow Is Omniverous In order to get a living in New England during the winter the crow has developed a catholic appetite, and persons who have made a study of the bird and its bill of fare say that the crow is omniverous in the broadest sense of the word. In a pinch he will eat anything. The principal items on his bill of fare are beetles, spliders, weevils, grasshoppers, moths, butterflies, caterpillars, bees, ants, wasps, files, crabs, shrimps, snails, fish, toads, frogs, young chickens, wild birds and their eggs, carrion and all sorts of plants and grains, both wild and cultivated. Corn constitutes a large proportion of the grain eaten, and this is one of the principal grievances of the farmer against the crow. A bird with such a catholic taste in food is obviously well prepared to meet hard times and the high cost of living. The crow will kill and eat small snakes. He will eat small mammals up to the size of a cottontail rabbit.—Hartford Courant. Simple Instructions Reginald bought an evening tie, and, wishing to be immaculate, asked the shop assistant to tell him the correct way to tie a bow. "Well, sir," said the obliging assistant, "you hold the tie in your left hand and your collar in the other. Slip your neck in the collar and cross the left-hand end of the tie over the right with the left hand, steadying the right end with the other hand. Then drop both ends, catching the left with the right and the other with the other. Reverse hands and pick up the loose end with the nearest hand. Pull this end through the loop with your unengaged hand and squeeze. You will find the bow tied, and all you have to do is to disentangle your hands."—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Well Provided. "How was the camping party?" "Enjoyable." "I presume you ate fish every day?" "Yes. We were thoughtful enough to bring some sardines, canned herring and salmon from town."

A big manufacturer typed his own letter to the war department the other day, after renting a typewriter on which to do it. He knew how, for he was once a private secretary. Others are not so fortunate. They stand and wait until the goddess of the machine can take their dictation. The government seized upon a great part of the available supply of stenographers when the rush began. The others are contented where they are or are entering business for themselves. Three months ago one of the government bureaus jogged along at its own moderate pace with one clerk and one stenographer. The head of that bureau did not think that anything could ever disturb his pacific routine. He knew there was a war in Europe, but he also knew that the United States would never get into that war. Then he found his people pushed into it. Nowadays he is the more or less perturbed manager of a force of 20 clerks and 40 stenographers, and his family is growing.

T It is awarded to the private or the general, the second class seaman or fireman or to the rear admiral for extraordinary courage, valor surpassing even that which is expected from the well-trained, seasoned soldier or sailor. No matter how hazardous a duty well performed, that is not enough. To win the medal something more than is demanded by duty must be achieved. Unlike some of the European decorations for bravery, the American Medal of Honor is more difficult for an officer to win than for an enlisted man, because more is expected of an officer. The medal is a bit of bronze suspended from a ribbon. Its intrinsic value, be it what it may, is of no importance. Into the metal disk are welded all the qualities of man which men admire, even worship. In the archives of the war department are succinct, unimaginative records of the acts which caused the medal to be plinned to the breasts of the men who have won it. The papers will yellow and crumble, the ribbons will rot to dust, the bronze itself will corrode and vanish, but the things the medal stands for will go on and the epic of the Medal of Honor will continue to be inscribed in the hearts of men. There is no doubt the Medal of Honor will be won in this war, but it will not be won easily, and though millions may be fighting under the American flag it will come to but few to wear this distinguishing mark. In the Spanish war less than 20 medals were awarded. In the Philippines a few were given. The last two medals to be awarded were presented to Sergt. Maj. Roswell Winans and Corporal Joseph A. Glowin of the marine corps, for their work at the battle of Guayacanes, in Santo Domingo. It is the act itself which wins the medal for a man, and not only does his rank matter not at all, but he may win it in a skirmish or in a battle like that of Gettysburg or of the Marne. The report of the board of investigation for the navy department in their case follows: "On July 8, 1916, the Twenty-eighth company of marines was engaged with the Dominican armed forces at the battle of Guayacanes. During a running fight of 1,200 yards our forces reached the enemy intrenchment and Corporal Joseph Glowin placed the machine gun of which he had charge behind a large log across the road and immediately opened fire on the trenches. He was struck once but continued firing his gun, but a moment later he was again struck and had to be dragged out of the position into cover. Sergt. Roswell Winans, U. S. M. C., then arrived with a Colt's gun, which he placed in a most exposed position and coolly opened fire on the trenches, and when the gun jammed he stood up and repaired it under fire. All the time Glowin and Winans were handling their guns they were exposed to a very heavy fire which was striking into the logs and around the men, seven men being wounded and one killed within 20 feet. Sergeant Winans continued firing his gun until the enemy had abandoned the trenches." Sergeant Winan's story in his own words is even more modest than the official report, although it is more vivid and picturesque. "On the morning of July 3," he said, "we got under way with every one feeling like a new man. Firing on the advance guard began early in the day. Our captain obtained permission to take our platoon forward. We kept the guns on the carriages until within a few yards of the firing line, then transferred them to the tripods and immediately opened fire. The enemy was using mostly old-fashioned breechloaders with big lead bulges. "The brush was very thick on both sides of the road. Jams were frequent with us and each gun wore out a couple of shell extractors. Difficulty had been experienced all along with our ammunition. Some of it dated back as far as 1907. It had evidently been reloaded many times. "We found it good policy to change barrels in case of a jam in the chambers. In that way we would be only a minute out of action. A party of the enemy were seen up the road and Corporal Johnson started to put his gun in action. A big lead slug (tin cans, we called them) came riotcaching down the road directly for us. Johnson saw it while kneeling behind his gun. He ducked almost prone, but the thing took a long skip and hit him in the jaw, passed down and lodged back of the shoulder. "The gun crews promptly gave the place where the shot was fired a good combing. We continued to advance under cover of the bushes and trees. A battalion of infantry was deployed as skirmishers on each side of the road and we were concealed by a turn in the road and high trees and bushes. "Directly across the road was a huge log. At our end of the log a Benet-Marcter had just commenced roaring, with Corporal Glowins in command of it." "The captain ordered a gun in action at the butt of the tree. It had no sooner opened up than all the bullets in the world seemed coming It is bestowed for extraordinary valor only, and the officer must work harder for the bit of ribbon and bronze than the enlisted man—similar foreign honors come easier our way. The enemy was shooting mighty close too. The trenches were awfully hard to pick up, although we were only about 150 yards away. They were on a hill and had carried their dirt away. "The battallons made slow progress on the flanks on account of the thick underbrush. The enemy had an immensely strong natural position and had they had a few machine guns and some barbed wire they could not have been rooted out without great loss of life. "A call went up for a hospital apprentice, as Corporal Frazee had been shot in the head. He had been working hard getting his gun pointed on the enemy and had just succeeded. "You are right on them now; give them fits!" were the last words he said. "His pointer was also shot in the head and two others were wounded in the arm. A corporal in the Thirteenth company was shot twice while operating a Benet-Mercer. He refused to leave his gun and had to be carried away, struggling to get back into the fight. "While this was going on our other guns began to come up one at a time and we obtained fire superiority over the enemy, who shot very wildly from now on. This last is an after judgment. At the time they seemed to be just missing me. I don't know how the other men felt, but I expected to be shot any minute and just wanted to do as much damage as possible to the enemy before cashing in. Several members of our platoon did cool and creditable work in changing cartridge extractors and repairing jams under fire. "We faced the enemy as much as possible while repairing the guns, as we had a horror of being shot in the back. "One of the sweetest sounds I ever heard was the cheering of the infantry battallon as it charged the right flank trenches of the enemy. Gunnery Sergeant Ralph was among the first of these. He had a pistol fight with the rebel general in command. Ralph and some other man with a rifle hit him at about the same time. Result—exit general. "We moved up to the trenches after the battle and reformed, getting our equipment together. "Corporal Frazee died soon after being hit and was buried within a few feet of the place where he had fought so well. The enemy lost very heavily, and if Santo Domingo was not an island some of those birds would be running yet." Maj. Gen. J. Franklin Bell, now in command of the eastern department, with headquarters on Governor's island, won the medal in the Philippines. As colonel of the Thirty-sixth infantry he was proceeding along the San Antonio Porac road to head off a band of insurgents who had attacked the Ninth infantry at Guagua and Santa Rita. Colonel Bell, mounted, was riding near the head of the advance party and had with him Lieut. Col. William R. Grove, Major Straub, two mounted orderlies and about twelve scouts on foot. Just at dawn the party was fired upon from what seemed a fairly large body of insurgents hidden in the brush. The American fire dislodged the enemy, about seven of them running down the road around a bend. The scouts pursued them, but Colonel Bell saw at once that the men, with their heavy equipment, were being easily outdistanced by the lightly clad Filipinos, and he dashed after them on his horse. Before Major Straub or the two mounted orderlies knew what he was doing, Colonel Bell was far down the road in the midst of seven struggling insurgents, firing with his revolver and slashing about with his saber. The mounted men galloped to his assistance and the infantry supported him as best they could with rifle fire, although it was almost impossible to shoot, so tangled up were the insurgents and Colonel Bell. The officer would have been perfectly justified in remaining with his troops, even behind them and merely directing the dislodging assault, and for charging alone and driving into the jungle at least seven Filipinos, with two officers among them, the Medal of Honor was awarded to him. Two of the few medals awarded in the war against Spain went to a second class fireman and a copersmith on board the battleship Iowa. While the vessel was cruising in Cuban waters, July 20, 1898, at about seven o'clock in the morning, a manhole gasket blew out in one of the boilers in fire room No. 2. Under 120-pounds pressure, live steam roared out into the room and boiling water swashed around the floor. In the adjoining compartment were Robert Penn, second-class fireman, and P. B. Keefer, a copersmith. Hearing the wild roar of the escaping steam they dashed to the door of fire room No. 2. The men who had been working there, blinded by the escaping steam, floundering in the scalding water, had been so overcome that they could not get out. One of the coal passers had already sunk to his knees and was dropping forward. In a matter of seconds he would have toppled into the water and been bolled to death.

MAJOR ROSWELL WINANS, US MARINE CORP and the killing heat, Penn dashed into the room and, lifting the coal passer, staggered to safety with him, the scalding water above his ankles. Ignoring the frightful pain of his scalded, swollen feet, this second-class fireman dashed back into the hell from which he had just dragged one victim and saved another life. Keefer meanwhile was busy saving the ship from destruction, or at least from the effects of a terrific explosion, for the water escaping from the boiler would soon leave so little there that it would be entirely converted into steam and the pressure would wreck it. Dashing through the blinding, torturing steam, Keefer, the coppersmith, hauled the fires from under the two inboard furnaces. Meanwhile, Penn, having gotten every one out of the fire room, had turned on the extra feed pump in the after fire hold to keep water in the boilers and built a bridge to the furnaces out of planks laid on top of ash buckets. While Passed Assistant Engineer Stockney held the plank in place Penn hauled the two remaining fires before he was carried to the sick bay where his terribly scalded feet were treated. Both Penn and Keefer received the Medal of Honor for their acts. That it is only extraordinary bravery which merits the medal accounts for the fact that Fireman Smith did not win the bronze for the same day's work. In helping Keefer he had both legs badly burned, but the opportunity did not offer itself to display the same supercourage which Keefer and Penn exhibited. Some of the most stirring medal stories are those of the Indian campaigns. For instance, there was Corporal Paul H. Welnert, who expected to be court-martialed for what he did at the battle of Wounded Knee, but instead had the Medal of Honor pinned to his breast. Another Indian fighter to win the coveted bronze was Sergt. Bernard Taylor of the Fifth cavalry, engaged in fighting the Apaches in Arizona in 1874. Some of the most distinguished men in the army have worn the medal. Leutj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles won it for continually exposing himself to the fire of the enemy as colonel of the Sixth-first New York volunteers in the Civil war, for no other purpose than to encourage his men by the example. At Fair Oaks Gen. William R. Shafter was wounded, but when a surgeon was seen approaching he climbed a tree in order not to be sent to the rear. After the surgeon passed Shafter came down and continued to fight until he fell unconscious from loss of blood. Those who remember General Shafter only as he was in the Cuban campaign will wonder how he got into the tree, but a man can put on a lot of weight in thirty-odd years. Gen. Francis D. Baldwin won the medal while a first lieutenant in the Fifth Infantry. With two companies under him he rescued two white girls from Indians at McClennan's Creek, Tex., in November, 1874. Although not so well-known as the Victoria Cross, the Iron Cross or the Medaille Militaire, the Congressional Medal of Honor is much more difficult to attain. It is distributed to very few persons and then only after a sweeping investigation of the circumstances surrounding the act for which it is recommended. The Medal of Honor was authorized by congress by an act of July 12, 1862. The striking of 2,000 medals was ordered, to be conferred upon privates and non-commissioned officers for acts of bravery surpassing those usually demanded of soldiers. One thousand of these medals were voted to a single organization, the survivors of a Malne regiment which volunteered to remain in service on the eve of the Battle of Gettysburg although their terms had expired. This is the only case of a wholesale distribution of the medal and has been severely criticized. There are slight variations in the medals as designed for the army, the navy and the marines. The army's medal, as modified in 1905, is a five-pointed star with the trefoils on the tips. The star is superimposed on a wreath. In the center of the star is the head of Minerva, surrounded by the words "United States of America." The medal is suspended from a trophy representing an eagle on a bar with the word "Valor." The whole is suspended from a ribbon. The original medal bore in the center of the star a figure of America clad as Minerva. Her left hand rested upon the fasces and with a shield in her right she repelled Discord. A band of stars circled the figures. The trophy was an eagle perched on two crossed cannons and a number of cannon balls suspended from a red, white and blue ribbon. The medal as presented to the marines today is practically like the original medal, except that it is joined to the ribbon by an anchor and the ribbon is worn around the neck. The navy receives a medal similar to that awarded to marines but worn pinned to the breast suspended from a metal bar by a short ribbon. The medal is worn only on special parade or at ceremonies with the dress uniform.—New York Herald. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 8 AHAZ, THE FAITHLESS KING. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 28:1-5, 20:27. GOLDEN TEXT-Without faith it is impossible to please him.-Heb. 11:6. LESSON TEXT-II Chron. 30:1-13. Ahaz reigned sixteen years from about 730 to 723 B. C., over the kingdom of Judah, its capital being in Jerusalem. The kingdom was nearing its end, and was destroyed within a few years after the death of Ahaz. His character presents many interesting questions for discussion; the character of his reign, the wealth and prosperity of his father and grandfather, the development of his character from the home wherein he originated, why a nation can be successful and not be righteous or virtuous, that is, outwardly successful, and the application of these questions to our present-day political and commercial lives. I. Ahaz, the Ruler, (vv. 1-5). The character of Ahaz is not to be admired. He played a prominent and evil part in the history of the Kingdom of Judah. We find his name recorded among the Syrian inscriptions of the year 732 B.C., the Hebrew historian having dropped the prefix "Jeho" from his name. The full name indicates that he had "grasped Jehovah," yet he was untrue to his name. The historian says "he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord." This puts it mildly, but indeed few of the kings of Judah did otherwise, and he patterned his conduct not after the good model of his father, but the thoroughly bad conduct of the kings of the northern nation, Israel. He was but twenty years of age when he took the throne, but had already entered upon a course of action proposed to that of his father. II. Ahaz Ruined. The choice lay before him of following in the steps of his grandfather Uzziah and his father Jotham (II Chron. 1:10). He chose to defy God, openly disobeyed him and was disloyal to his God and his country, walking in the ways of the kings of Israel, (v. 2), burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen, (v. 3), made molten images of Baal, (v. 2), and spread that worship into the high places on the hills and under every green tree (v. 4), made sacrilegious use of the temple's treasury, and was dishonest as well as profane. He trusted Baalim more than he trusted God. III. Ahaz Rebuked. God did not allow him to pursue his course of action without protest. When the children of good men go wrong, there is no measuring the extent of depravity to which they will sink. Nevertheless, God was opposed and tried to save the young man and the nation. God used the king of Syria as one agency for rebuking this mad young man. He carried away great multitudes captive, one hundred and twenty thousand in one day (v. 6), and "two hundred thousand women, sons and daughters" (v. 8) at another date. Ahaz himself was filled with terror at the great calamity that overtook him. (Isa. 7:2). While he received temporary help (II Kings 16:9, 10), he received ultimately ruin from the king of Assyria for he became a vassal and was summoned to Damascus to pay homage to that king, as appears from the account II Kings 16:7,9, and also from the Assyrian inscription, above referred to Other enemies also attacked him—Edoumites from the southeast carried away captives, and the Philistines from the southwest invaded the cities of the low plains, south of Judah, and took possession of them (vv. 17:10) and the possession of the Assyrian, which Ahaz led to rob and profane the temple and its treasures in order to buy them off (v. 22:24), completed the ruin of his nation. Ahaz was forced to pay a heavy tribute to the Assyrian king (v. 21), and got no help for his outlay. He put his trust in an arm of flesh instead of in the mighty arm of God, which brought upon him the curse that always comes to those who trust in man (Jer. 17:5, 6). There is a blessing which always awaits those who trust in Jehovah (Jer. 17:7, 8). The wise man turns to God not in the time of his distress but at all times. Instead of sacrificing to the God who saved his father and who would save him, Ahaz sacrificed to the god "which smote him." His defiance knew no bounds (v. 24). He seemed to have dabbled in every known form of false worship, thereby "provoking to anger the Lord God of his fathers" (II Kings 23:11, 12). God is long-suffering to those who wander from him, but there comes an end to his patience (II Peter 2:9, 10). IV. The Reverse Picture. There are several problems to be solved as we view this picture, for it is a story of real life, not only of the early times but is being repeated even today and in this country. (1) Men will reap that which they sow. One cannot sow wild oats and reap the fruits of righteousness. (2) Jehovah places righteousness above security or prosperity. (3) God's purposes are for the uplift and the making of the nation and the individual better. God never does evil that may come out of it. A loving father must exercise discipline, and let us not be mistaken. What Well Dressed Women Will Wear Among the latest efforts of a talented designer, whose products make place for themselves all over this country, appears this handsome afternoon dress. It almost goes without saying that it is of crepe georgette—although it might be of volle or of net. But georgette has become a habit and we have to compel ourselves to think twice in order to consider any other fabric for the light frocks of midsummer. Even when another material is to be used it borrows something from the merits of georgette and is made up in combination with this lovely fabric. Silk, satin and wool are all used in 1 A THE WOMAN this way. But the dress shown in the picture is entirely of the crepe, even to the girdle and sash ends. It is cut with a shaped yoke which extends from the back and front to a point under the arms. Aprons, hemmed and tucked, are gathered into the yoke at the front and back and hang to the bottom of the skirt. The plain underskirt has a tucked panel gathered in at each side. All tucks and seams are hemstitched. The neck and sleeves are finished with a narrow binding of satin and satin-covered buttons are used for a finishing touch on the sleeves. The yoke is embellished with a braided pattern in silk soutache. Silk tassels weight the sash ends; dress and trimmings are all in one color. but light, and bead of narrow muslin natural color of the braid is laid in Gr the upper brim and the brim edge. "drop" of malinen blim edge. Its na worn turned down the eyes in a way. Small flowers and matching the straa in a wreath about the bunches of silk the colors of the fruit, are set in the A wide milfan, called "sunbeam," graceful shape. In dresses of soft materials the straight-hanging and simplified modes for midsummer have greatly simplified things for the home dressmaker. Besides, we are assured that the very latest of all fads is the fad for things that have a made-up-home look. Since A THE HAT THE HAT society is going in for common sense and economy in matters of dress, in order to look the part of devoted patriots, the homemade dress is about to be placed a notch higher than the manufactured dress, and it belongs there. Midsummer millinery, in dress hats, is the swan song of designers, for the season—their final and supreme ef- inches wide. The brown at the front and one of others at each side, again the crown.

For August they presage its passing with plainer headwear in white and black, in light colored, trimmed felts and in new inspirations of similar character that may come to them. But to midsummer belong the loveliest and most alluring harmonies that are ever translated into headwear, the dreams of artists come true. Here are two new arrivals in picturesque hats that remind us of summer days. One of them is of black mallines, with a double crown and a wide, drooping brim. Just how the outside crown is shaped so smoothly is a secret of the milliner. It is bulky Q but light, and beautiful with a border of narrow muslin braid about it in the natural color of the strap. The same braid is laid in Greek key sign about the upper brim and used for a finish at the brim edge. A border, called a "drop" of mailines, extends about the prim edge. Its name betrays that it is worn turned down, sometimes, vellining the eyes in a way altogether alluring. Small flowers and leaves in linen color matching the straw braid, are placed in a wreath about the crown, and little bunches of silk-covered grapes, in the colors of the ripened or ripening fruit, are set in the wreath. A wide mitaf, in the yellow shade called "sunbeam," is pictured in the graceful shape, with sweeping brimlines that are much wider at the sides than in the front and back. Three flat brims—two loops and one end to a bow—provide all the trimming needed on this unusual design. One is in brown, one in matter blue, and one in old rose, all of satin ribbon about four THE FASHION WEEKLY laches wide. The brown bow is placed at the front and one of each of the others at each side, against the base of the crown. This unusual model is called the "East-and-West" hat, in rec ognition of its width of brim from side to side.

They went in small groups; there was little leadership, but there was a horribly cool deliberateness and a spirit of fun about it. I cannot allow even the doubtful excuse of drink. No man whom I saw showed the effect of liquor. It was no crowd of hotheaded youths. Young men were in the greater number, but there were the middle aged, no less active in the task of destroying the life of every discoverable black man. It was a shirt sleeve gathering, and the men were mostly working men, except for some who had the aspect of mere loafers. And a volley of the lead would have stopped these murders. "Get a nigger," was the slogan, and it was varied by the recurrent cry, "get another." It was like nothing so much as the holiday crowd, with thumbs turned down, in the Roman Coliseum, except that here the shouters were their own gladiators and their own wild beasts. When I got off a State Street car on Broadway at 6:30, a fire apparatus was on its way to the blaze in the rear of Fourth street, south from Broadway. A moment's survey showed why this fire had been set, and what it was meant to accomplish. The sheds in the rear of Negroes' houses which were themselves in the rear of the main buildings on Fourth street, had been ignited to drive out the Negro occupants of the houses. And the slayers were waiting for them to come out. It was stay in and be roasted or come out and be slaughtered. A moment before I arrived one Negro had taken the desperate chance of coming out, and the rattle of revolver shots, which I heard as I approached the corner, was followed by the cry, "They've got him." And they had. He lay on the pavement, a bullet wound in his head and his skull bare in two places. At every movement of pain which showed that life remained there came a terrific kick in the jaw or the nose, or a crashing stone from some of the men who stood over him. At the corner, a few steps away, were a sergeant and several guardsmen. The sergeant approached the ring of men around the prostrate Negro. "This man is done for," he said. "You'd better get him away from here." No one made a move to lift the blood-covered form, and the sergeant walke daway, remarking when I questioned him about an ambulance, that the ambulances had quit coming. However, an undertaker's ambulance did come fifteen minutes later and took away the lifeless Negro, who had in the meantime been further kicked and stoned—(By Carlos F. Hurd, staff reporter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. His Thanks. A farmhand saved a train from being wrecked and at a splendid banquet was presented by the railway company with a gold watch in a red morocco case. The company's chairman, at the end of an eloquent speech, handed the watch to the heroic farmhand and waited expectantly to hear the kel'el's grateful thanks. The farmhand opened the morocco case, took the watch from its rich satin bed, turned it ove and over, and then looked up and asked, "And where's the chain?" A Woman's Discovery.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE MILITIA. "On Saturday night, June 9th, 1917, three members of the militia on duty in East St. Louis, namely: Fred Groomis, Ernest Bradshaw and Jerry Jordan, forcibly entered the business place of William Walker, Sixth and Boismenue avenue, East St. Louis, drank a number of bottles of beer, too kbottles of whiskey, cigars, etc., and otherwise did considerable damage, holding the occupants up and taking from Walker the sum of ten ($10) dollars and from Wilson Young, 1300 Baker avenue, twenty ($20) dollars. None of the articles taken were returned to the proper owners. The soldiers entered the place without any authority from any source. They were subsequently discharged from the custody of the police, although they had disarmed one plain clothesman who entered the place during the depredation and later when about to be arrested ordered the policeman acting to throw up his hands. Witnesses to the above outrage are: Harry Lecrure, Clarence Tendall, 1322 Russell avenue; Matt Haynes, 605 Russell avenue, and Joe Wilson. General Dickson received the committee cordially and assured them that a thorough investigation would be made and the guilty parties dealt with according to the findings. Springfield News. To the Kansas City Sun: There is a rumor affloat to the effect that I have caused some person trouble by my conduct with women. I do not know personally of having caused any person or persons any trouble directly or indirectly but if some person had trouble or has been annoyed in any way on my account it was because some devils wanted to cause that person trouble through me. It has been said and I know every person that has made the remark that I had caused a person trouble, also that no one ever was going to tell me about it, and furthermore that no one was ever going to have anything to do with me any more. This is a large world and I'll make amendments for any wrong that I have done or any trouble that I have caused any person or persons. It doesn't make any difference what has been said about o rdone to me, I'll make a sacrifice for any persons who have been wronged on my account freely. Don't expect anyone to tell me of anything that has been done. Some say that he ought to be shot others say that his is going to be killed. "Sure!" who cares? I expect those things now. I won't ask the cause. The thing to do is not to do much talking but put some of this talk into effect. I don't intend to hide to keep from being seen but I really think if there ever was a man that ought to be killed. I certainly am that man, and they said I am a "bully." Well, I hardly know which is the worst—a bully or a cur to a community, but I guess it is only as one thinks; I naturally think that a cur is, in fact there are more curs 'ar there are bullies and a cur lives long er and has more friends, and just please remember, cut throats, that there isn't any love lost whether I am shot or ever spoken to again, so don' worry.

THE CAUSE AND REMEDY. culosis among the Negroes, as compared with 224 among the whites. Some progress had been made by the social workers who had succeeded in reducing the Negro death rate, but they are in despair in face of the present immigration. Is it not a little strange that such a problem should have risen at all? How is it possible that in the richest nation in the world there should be enough native-born citizens lacking an understanding and appreciation of our institutions tothetreaten their stability? These men are not the neglected of other nations thrust upon us full grown, but are men born and nurtured upon America nsoll, and subject throughout their lives to the influence of American institutions. There is not the excuse even that they were formerly slaves, for not one of these immigrants was born a slave. Is it not another instance of Carlyle's beggar? Organized labor mobs the Negroes brought into strike region because they are unorganized and lack the spirit of solidarity. Yet organized labor has been rather tardy in taking in the black brother. Social workers despair at the Negro's indifference to hygienic laws, and the better class lament the possibilities for evil from having such citizens congregate within control of unscrupulous politicians. But these neglected human beings have been all the time within our borders, and these inevitable evils should long ago have been foreseen by our leaders. The ignorant, shiftless, unambitious man of any race is a menace. And since a common sense of decency prevents their forcible removal, there is nothing left for the better classes to do but to put them in the way of catching up with their more fortunate brethren. Organized labor must make provision for them. The educated classes must bee to it that their schooling opportunities are increased. But most of all must opportunities for employment and self-government be opened for the Negro. So long as the Negro is a laborer, union labor should see that he is organized. So long as he is a citizen and a voter, publicists and men of affairs must see that he is raised to the level of his fellows. The strength of society is the strength of its lowest citizens. The Negro's condition is merely the white man's condition emphasized. Owing to the inequitable distribution of wealth caused by our false economic system, all labor suffers, the ignorant and the illiterate suffering the most. There is need of all the labor in this country. Both food and fuel have reached almost prohibitive prices. Yet the only thing necessary to till the soil and operate the mine is labor. But labor can produce neither the food nor the fuel so long as the owners of the land insist upon holding it idle for speculative purposes. Open up the idle land in the South and the Negro will not be so eager to go North. Open up the idle lands of the North, and if he does go he will not congregate in dangerous numbers in the cities. By taxing idle land the same as used land there will be opportunities for Negro labor, and the funds so derived will be ample for his education and social regeneration. Whole Story in a Word.
