NUMBER 33. 3rd COLORED DEMOCRACY Negro Central Democratic Organ rate Banquet to Its Memb De Luxe Cafe Last M SOME EXCELLENT ADDRESS The Negro Central Democratic organization of which Mr. A. V. Monholland is president, and Dr. E. B. Ramsey secretary, celebrated as the result of the recent election with a very elaborate banquet on last Monday night which was attended by more than 200 persons. The cafe was reserved in its entirety for the banquet after 8 o'clock and the spacious dining room was handsomely decorated with American flags and cut flowers, while on the rear wall was a banner urging all to BUY LIBERTY BONDS. Music was furnished by the organization quartet assisted by Prof. James Scott, a very brilliant pianist, while the menu was all one could desire. The attendance was surprising, not only in the numbers present but from the fact that many of the guests and DR. WILLIAM J. THOMPKINS the dominating spirit in Negro Democracy in this city and state who secured for the Negroes of this city the Old City Hospital and was its first superintendent. A graduate of Lincoln Institute and Howard University and a physician of much ability. most of the speakers were attired in full evening dress, giving a richness and dignity to the affair that was complimentary to the organization. Many of the old-line Negro Democrats were in attendance, such as John W. Bailey, Isaac Mitchell, Prof. J. L. F. Talton, A. V. Monholland, and Porter Carmack, who was the author of an article that appeared in the Kansas City World back in 1904 on "Why The Negro Should Divide His Vote," which attracted much attention at the time among both races. Mr. McKnight, proprietor of the cafe, showed his long experience and adaptability in handling crowds by the splendid arrangement of his dining hall and by the excellence and celerity in serving the menu, and was ably assisted by Mr. James Baker, the popular headwaiter of the Johnston Cafe, and a corps of trained waiters who gave complete satisfaction. MENU: Celery Olives Green Onions Cocktails Roast Young Turkey Green Peas Mashed Potatoes Budweiser Tomato Salad Black Coffee Cigars During the discussion of the menu Principal J. R. E. Lee, chairman of the Negro Liberty Loan committee, was announced as being at the door in company with the editor and he was invited in and received by the entire assembly standing and waving their flags until he had been escorted to the front where he was introduced by the master of ceremonies and said, "I am not here as a politician or as a member of any political organization, but I come as a representative of the Liberty Loan Committee to urge upon each of you and enlist your assistance in making a record for the Colored people of this city, in the Third Liberty Loan Campaign, which will be creditable to us all. Many of you rendered valient assistance the last campaign for this loan and I want to pledge each of you to render the same degree of assistance in this campaign." and amidst cheers and a rising vote the assemblage pledged themselves to assist in the cause to the utmost, after which Mr. Lee begged to be ex- The Kansas City Sun cused on account of another meeting The following program was rendered: 1.

Extemporaneous addresses were also made by Dr. A. D. Bradbury, the Democratic leader of the Fifth ward, Hon. L. A. Knox, who was an invited guest at the banquet, and Dunbar's selection, "When Malinda Sings," was effectively rendered by Mr. W. A. Moran. After insistent calls the editor was prevailed upon to say a word and complimented the organization upon its personnel and splendid department and told them that there was a time not long ago when to be a Democrat meant ostracism and personal injury but a more tolerant spirit now existed and though he could not agree with them in their political convictions, yet he delegated to them the right to think and vote as they saw fit and closed with a patriotic appeal not only to stand by our Country in this crisis of war but to be true to their race and help Chairman Lee go "over the top" in the Liberty Bond Campaign. Especially forceful and eloquent were the speeches of Lawyer Bruce, Professor Talton and Mr. Matttjoy, while the witty, eloquent and historical address of Felix H. Payne drew him a magnificent ovation. Among other things Mr. Mattjoy eloquently said: Speaking of patriotism and our duty to our Country—and those are the things of which most of us are speaking these days—why not buy a Third Liberty Loan Bond or two? If ever a thing was well named, the OFFICER T. WALTER HOWARD the oldest Negro officer in point of service in this city, a terror to evil doers who has the respect and confidence of the leading Democrats in this city. Liberty Bond is. It stands for liberty—for liberty not only for our own people, but for all the peoples' of the world, liberty from despotism, from imperialism, and most of all, liberty from Prussianism, which, summed up, is the other three isms rolled into one. And, likewise, it is a bond—a bond of faith, a bond of honor, a bond of reliability, a bond of security, backed KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1918. Photo By S. M. MUER 1901 MR. J. J.

When we buy Liberty Bonds we are helping our Country, helping as righteous a cause as ever sent a nation to battle, and at the same time we are safeguarding our savings and earning a decent rate of interest on our money. We can't lose, we are bound to win. Thieves may break in and moths may corrupt, but a Liberty Bond is as solid as Plymouth Rock and as MR. J.

As long as the Stars and Stripes float the Liberty Bond will be aloft, too. It is predicated on Bunker Hill; on Independence Hall; on the little apple tree at Appomattox; on the corner stone of a building at Washington, D. C., called the national capitol. A man who would not be satisfied with that collateral would not risk a pewter dime for the hope of eternal salvation. Don't wait for somebody else to take your share of the best investment that is open to a patriot. Our great revolutionary granddaddies weren't that, so their motto wasn't "let George do it." They helped George do it! Don't sell Uncle Sam short. Don't be a bear in the Old Glory market. Don't make your own country ashamed of you. Buy a Liberty Bond! The committee on arrangements was: J. J. Mattjoy, chairman; Felix H. Paynge, William Maupin, Dr. A. D. Bradbury, Walter Howard; while the committee on program was, Dr. L. M. Tillman, chairman; William Mallory, Dr. E. B. Ramsey and Lawyer William B. Bruce. The demonstration of the extremely large gathering of Negro Democrats of this campaign grew from the small dagments or remains of the last Jost administration, the same which was brought about by the strong motor power of Dr. William J. Thompkins, A. V. Monholland and O. J. Brooks, who gathered these scattered elements together and without financial assistance from the Central white organization made their organization self sustaining and the most potent factor for Democratic success in this campaign.

NEGRO DRAFT OPPONENT A SUICIDE. Springfield, Ill., April 11—Dr. J. E. Henderson, a Negro physician, indicted some time ago by the federal grand jury on charges of interfering with the draft among members of his race and stirring up race prejudice, was found dead in his office today. Near a revolver was a note in which Henderson said he was atoning for the "blunders of his life with his own blood." Editor's Note.—Most of the old citizens will remember Dr. Henderson who went from this city to Spring field about twenty years ago. He was always a bitter opponent to racial restrictions and had several controversies while here. Subscribe for The Sun Subscribe for The Sun A PROGRESSIVE CITIZEN. Dr. J. W.

The Most Sumptuous Apartments Occupied by Colored People in this City, High and Sightly Located, Have Been Leased by This Eminent Divine. CHURCH ACTIVITIES WILL BE REPRESENTED. Perhaps no business or professional man in the city has made such wonderful strides to fame and success in the past few years as has the Rev. John Wesley Hurse, D. D., the distinguished pastor of the St. Stephen's Baptist church of this city. and church dignitaries of various denominations who may from time to time be the guests of Dr. Hurse. On the second floor are four elegant bedrooms and baths, two of which are especially fitted up for the Doctor's children, while just to the rear of Not content with pastoring one of the largest congregations and serving the spiritual needs of a large portion of the city. Dr. Hurse has added to his other attainments the healing of the body as well as the soul, and some months ago received the following certificate: New York City, Jan. 2, 1918. This is to certify that Dr. J. W. Hurse has been a student of mine for some time, larning the art and science and treating of patients with my linkment to our full satisfaction. I there fore certify that he has completed a full course and is now capable of treating any of the diseases enumerated in our circular for which our remedy is a positive cure. (Signed) DR. N. A. 'MACKEY, 133 West 131st street Dr. Hurse was not simply content with the treating of these diseases for which his remedy is a specific but aspired to control on account of the large demand the formula for compounding this valuable remedy, which he finally succeeded in purchasing for a large sum, and so rapidly has his business grown that he found it necessary to give up the beautiful home recently purchased at 13th and Euclid, which was modern in every detail, and seek larger quarters where he might have the benefits of an up to date laboratory as well as rooms in which to house his many patients who come from various sections of the Southwest to have him personally treat them. Dr. Hurse was fortunate in securing the magnificent building at the Southeast corner of 12th and Michigan avenue, which is a modern and imposing brick and stone structure containing fifteen rooms, located upon the highest point on the east side of the city where he has a sweeping panoramic view of the whole city. This property was formerly used as a high class private hospital patronized by the wealthiest people of the city, but colored people have been buying so rapidly in the vicinity that the owners decided to vacate and lease or sell to desirable and responsible parties. Dr. Hurse saw the opportunity and with his characteristic foresightiness seized it and has given to his church and race possibly the best equipped property of its kind in this country. His church will co-operate with him in financing the proposition and on the broad lawns, which are 160x140 feet, will have socials and entertainments during the summer months. Massive stone steps lead up to the imposing residence with broad granitoid walks from both 12th street and Michigan avenue sides; and you enter a lofty reception hall where massive and beautiful furniture give it a fit setting. Opening from the hall at the left is Dr. Hurse's office, handsomely furnished, while on the right is a large front parlor which will be used exclusively for the various clubs and activities of the church. Adjoining it is another large parlor for the use of guests and patients which is handsomely lighted and beautifully decorated. In the rear of this parlor is a cozy little rest room adjoining which is a white tiled bath and on the left is a large kitchen, pantry (which is as large as the average room) and an immense dining room capable of seating thirty of forty guests. There is also one dalnty guest room on the first floor which will be reserved for visiting ministers, priests, bishops We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions.

On the second floor are four elegant bedrooms and baths, two of which are especially fitted up for the Doctor's children, while just to the rear of them is a cozy housekeeper and nurse's room. Across the hall in the new addition is the most beautiful operating room in the city, lined with white marble slabs all the way around, with tile floor and the most modern equipped white operating chair, wash basins, with the latest plumbing, which are operated by foot pedals for hot or cold water, while across the hall to the north is the Doctor's laboratory, which is fully equipped with everything necessary to produce this wonderful ointment. Adjoining this is the wrapping and mailing room, where the packages are put up by his assistants and prepared for shipment. Dr. Hurse has a wonderful opportunity here and this wonderful preparation is destined to make him better known than ever among the people of the country. It is guaranteed to cure rheumatism in ten days, gives immediate relief and in two hours cures neuralgia; in forty-eight hours lumbago; one week throat trouble; ten days, asthma and stiffness of the body; ten days, lung trouble in first and second stages, and a guaranteed remedy and cure for appendicitis. When our reporter called at the office, Dr. Hurse was preparing a shipment of fifty bottles to go to Seattle, Wash., and is receiving inquiries from all parts of the country concerning the wonderful curative qualities of this liniment. Dr. Hurse contemplates erecting on the large lawn a monster tent which will be used for a summer's revival, which will be conducted by America's Black Spurgeon, Rev. Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., which insures it being one of the greatest revivals ever held in this city. The Doctor has two elegant seven passenger cars, which are constantly at the disposal of patients and visitors. Not only is Dr. Hurse proud of his race, his church (which has had such wonderful growth) and his city (which is the most progressive in the great West), but his city, race and church are equally proud of him and the many splendid and helpful things he has brought to pass. Go over and visit this beautiful property and congratulate its intrepid and daring owner upon the high ground he has taken for his people in this community. WARNING TO PARENTS!

For wife and child for hearth and home for freedom in safety buy LIBERTY BONDS THE ENEMY WE MUST MEET By William Allen White (Mr. White, editor, author and King of the war and all of its many angles while on an extended visit to the various battle lines of the Allied armies.) Back of the German lines every ounce of food is conserved, and distributed with fairly equitable precision; every yard of cloth is numbered and is entered into the war strength of the empire. Every pennyweight of German coal is handled with scientific care, and the one end and aim of all this autocratic control of food and clothing and heat is the winning of the war. There is no other purpose in the German mind. Every German mark is a German soldier; every grain of gold is doing its full share to work out that indomitable purpose. Herc in America we must realize that the war will not be won on any front, but in our own hearts. This is a clash of civilizations. We must develop in our hearts a democratic purpose as strong and as carefully directed as this autocratic purpose of Germany. We, too, must make soldiers of our corn stalks, make defenders of our wool and cotton and silk, make every pound of coal an American pound, and we must make bullets of our pennies. If we fail to develop this democratic purpose in the eye to eye, knee to knee, hand to hand, struggle on the front, which, after all, only reflects the strength of our conviction, then our civilization will go down. To fail to support our soldiers with ammunition, with food, with clothing, with coal, will weaken them for the great conflict at the great moment, and that weakening will come from our hearts at home. It will come if we are slow with our financial support of the men. The Liberty Loan furnishes us with the only way we home-stayers can practically show our purpose. Our patriotism will be measured by our performance toward the Liberty Loan. What we lend to our country in this time of need will measure our love of the freedom our fathers bought. It is at stake. The autocratic purpose of Germany, iron willed and yet unbroken, aimed at world conquest is threatening us. What is freedom worth to you? It is worth what you lend to your government in this hour of its awful need. Your Choice? bonds or bondage? Will you lend your money and be free or hoard it now and pay it out in Tribute when Liberty is lost? As much as has been said and written in America about the World-War in Europe, it is doubtful if America is yet awake. A man who returned from Europe six months ago, said, "The farmers of America are feeding to their cattle today better food than millions of people in Germany and Austria have had at times. These people whose governments are fighting us are subsisting on cow beets and straw bread. All Europe is short-rationed and hungry. This is our war from now on. What happens in Europe is America's deepest concern. There is not enough food in the world. Either our soldiers must skimp their rations or we must skimp ours; either they must do without some necessities or we must do without some of our luxuries. Count on the Tomorrows. What will your business be worth if we should lose the war tomorrow? What would you give for a farm in Russia today? What would you give for a farm in America if conditions were such as they are in Russia today? KELLEY'S BEST HIGH PATENT FLOUR Kelley's Best Beat all the Rest. Kelley Milling Co.

The editor received notice Tuesday of the death of Mr. Hamilton of Palmyra, Mo., at the rtsidence of his daughter, Mrs. Ida Hill, of Boonville, Mo. His other daughter, Miss Lillian Hamilton, was also at his bedside, Burial was had in Palmyra. The election is over and the war is still on. Let every honest Negro get him a job, save his money and prepare for for the next winter. Times are going to be much closer next year. Food will be higher and clothing very expensive. Prepare while it is yet day. There isn't any new time or old time. If you are going anywhere and have to rise early go to bed in time to get sufficient rest so as not to destroy your vitality and lower your working power. Anything else is foolish dissipation and it will get you, sure. Several of our subscribers both in and out of the city wrote us to know why there were no Allen Chapel notes last week. The failure was on account of the illness of our faithful and capable reported, Mrs. Delia H. Mosee, who, we are pleased to say, is able to be at her post again. There are many kinds of mob violence. The rope only kills the victim once. But this American race hatred, the spirit of the mob, kills its victim a thousand times. It jostles him in public places. It throttles him in business. It cudgels him every time he lifts his eyes toward the skies. It is the Devil's own handicraft. We haven't lost hope in Lincoln Institute by any means. It is our only big state institution. We need it. We must have it. We must stand by it. We have plenty of men big enough to make it just what we would have it. Prof. J. R. E. Lee is a fine specimen of such men. The Board of Regents should not let him get away. They should put him in charge with free reins, support him as he deserves and as we would expect from big broadminded white men, then watch him grow and watch Lincoln Institute grow.

Mariana, ever since she gave up riding side sad- dle and equipped herself for a cross saddie, had been quite taken with her own appearance in breeches, When dressed her prettiest in filmy rufftes and entrancing furbelows for a dance Mariana hesitated before her plier glass long enough to see that she had been properly hooked up and that she had forgotten no necessary accessory, but when she was dressed in her riding togs she stood long and admiring be- fore the mirror, studied with Infinite satisfaction the straight line o2 her Teather legging, the neat juncture of that legging with her tan boot, the im- maculate trimness of her white pique stock, the severity of her plain sailor hat that hid almost all of her pretty curls and the well-tailored severity of the coat that extended from her slight shoulders to her knees. She did not admire the image because it was the reflection of a charming and graceful young girl, hut because it looked to her for all the world like a young boy, For Mariana was at the age where the greatest compliment anyone might have pald her was to tell her that she was not feminine, that she thought like a boy and that she was free from any of the foibles of sex. The very first day she met Dixon James he had been fortunate enough to pay her a compliment of this kind. Ile had ridden across the country with her brother and reached the Burden honse just as she was mounting her owa horse for a country ride. So Dixon and the brother remonnted their horses and started out again with Mariana, “You know, T have never enjoyed riding with a girl before so much as T have with you,” be told her, “In fact. you don’t seem like a girl, You're more ke some awfully nlee kid brother.” Mutiana had treasured that complt- iment, It was worth more than a dozen of the ustal sort, and ever since that ‘oy Mariana hed grown more ana wore addicted to the boyish costume and more and more rebellious against skirts, She had never been convinced one way or the other on the suffrage question, but when she learned that some of the early suffragists had re- helled against skirts, she had declared herself a decided suffragist and rode with her fair hair streaming, in a coat of steel mail, to represent Joan of Are ut the next suffrage procession, ‘Then she bought a pair of housework overalls and went about her own bed room and little sitting room mornings tlusting and’ putting things to rights In that costume. Her mother positively forbade her going out of her domain in the costume, Of course all her nogligees Were cut on pajama lines and, inconsistent as was it with her suTrage conventions, she fancied that she would like to be a Turkish woman because of the bloomers. “I can do almost anything,” she told her chum one day, “if Iam not ham- pered with petticoats, I'm sure if 1 ever make a name for myself it will be in breeches—riding breeches or housework overalls, or something of that sort.” ‘Then came the war and illustrated newspaper supplements were flooded with pletures of dairy girls in breeches, factory girls in overalls and street car conductors in suits like the soldier's ‘uniform. Mariana felt devoutly thank ful that she had lived in an age wher she might wear trousers and not be hooted like poor Amelia Bloomer an¢ those other worthy pioneers in petti coat emancipation, ‘The question was just which line of emancipated occu pation should she pursue, First sh decided to be an ambulance driver, bu the Idea struck every one as absurd Particularly did Dixon James pleac with her to abandon this project. “In the first place, they wouldn' Tave you,” he told her. “You're onl; eighteen and you are too darne¢ pretty. What do you know about mix ing up with a lot of rowdy soldiers ‘They won't want girls like you—the want some big husky amazons the can give a hand to lifting stretcher and one that has nerves like fron, Yo say you couldn't stand being a nurs ‘Why, my dear child, you'd have to g through more horrors as an ambulanc driver.” Finally she was dissuaded. Bu eventually her mind was made She read in some not distant elty a appeal for street car conductors- the kind that wore leggings and kney Jength coats and bloomers—and n¢ the petticoat sort—she announced firn ly that she considered it her duty 1 give her services as a conductor. Sb Dac cing ee EEO ORR EE COBO. 8S Tigh dT IY one of the Van Dyckman girls—per- tectly splendid family, you know—has just gone in for that.” However, Dixon James was not quite so resigned as was Mariana's mother. Mariana went ahend with her plans, and having applied for the position as conductor, resignedly walted the three weeks that were to elapse before her services would be needed. To make the time pass more pleasantly, Dixon got his mother to get up a house party at thelr country place, and Mariana packed her little trunk and rehearsed the new dance steps with considerable enthusiasm, ‘There was to be a little dance the first night of the party and Mariana was laying ont her newest dancing frock and other accessories on her bed before dinner, when Dix’s mother —an old-fashioned little gray-haired lady with a twinkle in her brown eyes—knocked at her door. “Mariana, dear,” she said, “I am asking you a favor that I don't think you'll mind granting. First, did you bring any riding togs?” “Oh, yes, indeed—I brought two sets —Dix said there would be some riding. Td love to let someone have elther outfit.” | “That is sweet of you, dear,” sald the older woman, “but that isn't the favor, You see, we are two men shy, ‘There are seven girls and only five men—two of the men have just got thelr commisstons and had to disap- point us, Girls do dreadfully hate to dance with girls, but I thought for a lark you'd he willing to play man, Dix ‘says you make a wonderful boy. You understand—you wear your riding things and play man, will you?” Mariana’s enthusinsm was genuine, and willingly did she hang the pink ruffles and furbelows back in the ward- robe and don her most boyish riding suit. “You can lead, can't you?" Dix asked her after dinner when they had cleared the floor for the little dance and Mariana admitted that she could. /“Ie’s awfully decent of you. TH intro- duce you to the girls you don't know. | We'll call you Teddy to make it seem ‘natural.” Mariana had not at first realized that she was to play tHe role of Teddy for the entire house party, but she was, and so her dressing ‘simplified itself to simply changing from one rid- ing suit for day wear to the other for evening, Tn the meantime she danced only with girls and rode beside them und walked beside one of the other of them on all the little outings and really saw nothing of Dix or any of the other ‘men. After all the guests had retired one night Mariana knocked at the door of one of the girls—one she had been escorting on a moonlight stroll that evening, “It you have two dressing gowns, would you awfully mind lend- ing mé one? I've only got the pajama sort, und—well, I am getting tired wearing trousers. I want to be a girl —Just in my own room." And the other girl laughingly handed ‘Teddy her fluffiest, lnciest pink chiffon negli- gee, By the end of the five-days’ house party Marian went home, only with difficulty concealing her grievance toward her hostess’ son, Dix. Even- tually, of course, the grievance made Itself known to Dix and there was an explanation. Teddy was pouting a little and blinked back a tear, ‘The other wouldn't blink back so “he” drew a filmy handkerestet from “his” breeches pocket and wiped it tenderly away. “Tim not a bit Jealous,” Teddy began. “T don't mind at all that you have gone about with all the other girls and haven't even looked at me, but—well I guess what makes me feel peeved is that I had such a pretty dance frock with pink ruffles and lace and every thing made just for the party, and | haven't had it on once.” ‘This was Dix’s cue and he took it and as he gathered the tearful littl | Teddy in his arms—they had met i the woods by chance when gatherin; sticks for a picnic fire—he explaine |his entire plot to her.

Of course there are shoe-repair stations all along the lines of battle, but so much de- pends upon the condition of his shoes and his consequent foot-comfort, that most of the boys carry a little cob- blers' kit and make small repairs them- selves, The kit consists primarily of a hollow handle, the top of which un- screws to disclose the awl, screwdriver, cobblers’ tacks, and other essentials for repair work.

Tablet Erected to Alexander Selkirk’s Memory on Juan Fernandez. ON re te erred tr eet Need % ocean, 550 miles off the coast of South America, Juan Fernandez lies under about the thirty-seventh | parallel of south latitude and ts a Ut- tle south of west from Valparaiso, Chile, from which it Is distant about 600 miles, Close upon the Island of Juan Fernandez is the much smaller island of Santa Clara, and something more than 100 miles farther out to sea, west by a trifle south, is a lone island of the name of Masafuera, There are no islands between Juan Fernandez and the mainland. And it Hes in a particularly lonesome part of the vast ocean, The elghtieth parallel of long- itude passes nearly a hundred miles west of Juan Fernandez, and that par- allel passes between two small islands, St. Felix and St. Ambrose, nearly 1,000 miles north of Juan Fernandez, Santa Clara and Masafuera. Not only have there been recent ref- erences to Juan Fernandez island, but frequent references to it may be read in the public prints, and nearly always Is It referred to as Robinson Crusoe's island. Yet the reference Is inexact and many thousands of miles out of the way. However, It is probable that the geographical or literary error has been given too much headway ever to be overtaken and corrected, and no doubt {t will be perpetuated. Not Crusoe’s Island. There are few places in the world which have given so mucp Interest and entertainment to boys as the lone- ly island on which Robinson Crusoe and his man Friday had thelr adven- tures, There is no telling just where Defoe thought Robinson Crusoe’s island was, but It moét certainly was not in that part of the world where the Island of Juan Fernandez les. If anywhere, it was on the Atlantic side of the great continent of South Amer- fea, off the eastern coast of Venezuela or the north coast of British Gulana, somewhere about the mouth of the Orinoco river, But then there are sev eral mouths to that vast river and, though there are islands there, no evi. dence of occupancy by Robinson Cru: soe has been found and none of the footprints of Friday have been discov: ered. ‘The only clue to the Island is found in Defoe’s magnificent story itself, where Robinson Crusoe speaks as fol: lows: “I asked him how far It was from our lands to the shore and whether the canoes were not often lost; he told me there wag no danger, no ca noes were ever lost, but that after ¢ little way out to sea there was a cur rent and wind, always one way In th morning, the other way in the after noon, This I understood to be no mor than the sets of the tide as going ou ‘and coming in; but I afterwards un derstood that it was occasioned by thi great draft and reflux of the might; '| River Oroonooko, in the mouth or gul _|of which river, as I found afterward -|our Island lay, and this land which | perceived to the west and northwes | was the great island of Trinidad ot _|the north point of the mouth of th ) | river.” , Where Selkirk Was Marooned. : ‘The Island of Juan Fernandes be , | came associated with the story of Rot | |inson Crusoe from the fact that o , | that island Alexander Selkirk was pv ; | ashore at his own request after a quai rel with the captain of the ship Clingu Ports, of which he-was sailing maste Selkirk lived on the island for fou .| years, and in 1712 there appeared ; | book entitled “Cruising Voyage Roun j | the World,” which was written b . | Capt. Wordes Rogers, who had re 1 | cued Selkirk from the island. Pai . | of the adventures: irk were | in that | | _ [Mt was this hint which | Imagination and led to the writing, of Robinson Crusoe. Captain Rogers’ book, in which the adventures of Selkirk were told, was also the inspiration, or rather the text, of Cowper’s poem, which is generally called “Solitude,” but which the poet, in what was fashton in the eighteenth century, called “Verses Supposed to Be Written by Alexander Selkirk During | His Solitary Abode in the Island of Juan Fernandez.” A literary man who took up the con- nection between Selkirk’s adventure and Defoe’s story of Robinson Crusoe has written thid: “There was more than enough of a nudge for Defoe, for Cowper, for scores of others. But Defoe never got his hero, Robinson Crusoe, round the Horn or into the Pacifie at all; he started him from England, shipwreck- ed him in Africa, sent him as a planter to ‘the Brazils'—as he always plura- lzes the name—and finally biew him | north, shipwrecked again on an fsland which Defoe carefully labeled on the title page of the first edition as being ‘at the mouth of the mighty Orinoco,’ a continent and parts of two oceans removed from Juan Fernandez.” ‘The Island of Tabago In the Carib. bean archipelago was mentioned by one writer us the island of Crusoe, but Tabago, north of the Trinidad. is too far from the mouth of Orinoco to agree with what. Crusoe says of the location of his island, Louis Rhead. In a preface to one edition of Robin- son Crusoe, wrote: “A map has been prepared to show the real location, which Is at the mouth of the Orinoco, thirty miles northwest of Trinidad, an island lying just In the Caribbean archipelago, The island ts now known as Tabago.” A good many distinguished writers have mistaken the Island of Juan Fer- nandez for the isiand of Robinson Cru- soe, and among them was R. H. Dana, gr, who, In his “Two Years Before the Mast,” wrote that he saw the Island of Juan Fernandez “rising like a deep blue cloud out of the sea” when his brig, the Pilgrim, was seventy miles away. After the brig’s stop at the island Mr, Dana wrote: “I gave It a parting look and bid farewell to the most romantic spot of earth my eye: had ever seen because of the associ ations which every sne has connected with {t In their childhood from reading Robinson Crusoe.” Unreasonable Expectations, We would not be disappointed In our friends so often if we were more rea- sonable in our expectations.

One of four leaders of the reform movement in the Trans- yaal, he was charged with complicity in the famous Jameson rald, found gullty, and sentenced to dle, ‘Only one person lived In the Trans- vaal with sufficient power to set astde the death sentence passed upon the man who 1s known today as the great- est mining engineer in the United States, ‘This was Oom Paul Kruger, then president of the South African Republic, He was an old man—nar row, bigoted and possessed of an in- tense hatred for the eager, grasping strangers who he belleved had sought his country only to despolt It. John Hays Hammond was among the most enterprising and, consequently, one of the most disliked, of the foreign residents of the Transvaal. For years he had been employed as an engineer; first by Barney Barnato, the English mining operator, and later by Cecil Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Oom Paul's country. Oom Paul distiked him, He disliked all men who brought swarms of eager reckless adventurers Into his country. And he made life as dificult for them as he could. In 1895 the world was startled by the news that a British adventurer, Doctor Jameson, had Ted a ralding party of farmed men into the Transvaal, ‘The raid failed, John Hays Hammond was among those arrested on the ac- cusation of having instigated Jame- son's attack on the South African Re- public.

Before she left his office, Mr. Kruger had prom- ised to spare her husband's life. ‘The president of the Transvaal republic Kept his word to Natalie Hammond, Her husband's sentence was commut- ed to imprisonment for 15 years and Inter on, he was freed on payment of fa fine of $125,000, and Mrs. Hammond had the extreme happiness of knowing that through her intercession, not only her husband's life but the lives of the men arrested with him had been saved, Height Zeppelins Can Reach, Basing his statement on accurate measurements of a Zeppelin that was brought down in England last Octo- ber, on known facts regarding the lift- ing power of hydrogen gas, on the state of the barometer during the flight, on the temperatures of the air recorded in th airship's log, Jhadoo Jahoz writes in Aeronautics as fol- lows: “It would appear from the foregoing that the latest type of Zeppelin fs de- signed to be able to attain a hetght of 17,000 to 18,000 feet when over its ob- fective and after dropping {ts bombs, but is capable of going even higher under stress of circumstances and at the risk of suffering some slight dam- age on returning to its base.

Nor- way and Sweden consume over 9 pounds per capita; Russia over 11 pounds; England, 27 pounds; France, 84 pounds; Italy, over 101 pounds, and Germany more than 93 pounds, But even these European countries do not begin to eat as much rice as Japan and China, There rice is the most im- portant article of diet. Each man, woman and child in Japan, on the av- erage, consumes 147 pounds of rice each year, and those in China, 158 pounds.

This rice has been so highly milled that it has been robbed of much of Its food value and of most of its olly flavoring mat- ter, leaving a product known to the trade as polished rice, which to many persons ts taste- less. If the American housewife could be induced to demand brown rice instead of taking the polished product, there would be a marked increased »consump- tion of this cereal in a very short time, due in part if not entirely to the pleasing flavor of the kernel. Some Good Rice Recipes, As a staple article of diet, rice may be boiled in ealted water and used like potato or sweet potato as a vege- table at a meal at which fish, meat, eggs, beans or other foods rich in pro- tein are served, Wholly or partially cooked rice can be used with cheese, minced meat or poultry, fish, eggs, beans, gravy, etc, for a variety of made dishes, the combinations consti- tuting dishes in which most of the needed food elements are present. It also may be used as a major or minor ingredient in stews and soups. Instead of serving rice plain as-a vegetable, It may be stewed with to- matoes, cooked in a double boiler with tomato Juice, soup stock or milk, or it may be seasoned with curry pow- der, onions or other seasoning mate- rials. By using skim milk tn this way a partially economical dish 1s pro- duced. ‘As a cereal for breakfast, rice may be boiled in milk and sweetened, or eaten with butter and salt, If it ts desired, dried fruits such as dates or raisins may be cooked with the rice, Cold boiled rice, mixed with pancake or muflin batters of wheat, buckwheat or cornmeal, for instance, makes a pleasing addition to, sueh food prod- ucts, reduces the quantity of wheat needed, and furnishes a method for using the left-over cereal, Mashed Potatoes Different.

MEETING DEADLY GAS ATTACKS T HE United States Army is being prepared to meet the gas attacks of the enemy, the means of protection having been devised by the gas defense service of the medical department, which comprises about 100 officers and approximately 600 enlisted men. The two principal factors in gas defense are effective masks and thorough training of soldiers in the use of masks and various methods of avoiding contact with poisonous vapors. Experts who have been sent to this country by the allied governments have pronounced the present American masks the most efficient in existence. The production of these masks is progressing at a rate which insures that the requirements of the American troops abroad will be amply supplied. At each cantonment in the United States a gas-defense school has been established and placed in charge of a divisional gas officer, who works in conjunction with the chemical adviser, both trained in the theory and practice of meeting gas offensives. Through these schools every officer and man receives instruction as to proper means of gas defense. The use of gas in warfare dates back to about 404 B. C. The Spartans saturated wood with pitch and sulphur and burned it under the walls of cities which they were attacking. For several centuries gas had not been used in warfare and The Hague convention definitely ruled against it. However, on April 22, 1915, the Germans liberated great clouds of gas against Canadian troops near Ypres. Terrible destruction and demoralization resulted from this first gas attack, and within a week England made plans for gas warfare against the Germans. Gas is now an everyday part of war. Gases may be employed in the form of clouds, or in shells, bombs and hand grenades. The first gas attacks in the present war were in clouds. Fumes were liberated from steel containers which were distributed in groups of three or four at intervals of 50 yards along the trenches opposite the line to be attacked. Tubes, provided with a stopcock attachment, were connected with the gas tanks, and the end of the tube was passed over the parapet. When the attack was intended, a signal was given and the stopcocks were opened, allowing the gas to escape in the form of liquid which immediately vaporized. Soon after the first German gas attack English and French women sent to the front hundreds of thousands of home-made gas masks. For the most part they were merely bandages impregnated with chemicals to wrap around the mouth and nose. The next step in gas masks was a cloth helmet or hood which had been dipped in neutralizing solution, the bottom of which was tucked in the collar. The next improvement was to put in an exhaust or outlet for the exhaled air. This type of mask has been used extensively. The small box respirator mask was next developed, and it is the model of the mask we are at present using. It is the highest development, affording good protection. It has an impervious face-piece, with glass or celluloid eyepieces, held in place by rubber bands around the head. A canister is carried in a small knapsack and a flexible tube connects the box in the face-piece. Inside the face-piece is a small wire clamp with rubber pads which fits on the nose and forces the wearer to breathe through his mouth. The end of the flexible tube has a rubber mouthpiece through which the man breathes. The incoming breath comes through the canister, which is filled with several layers of special chemicals of an absorbent nature which neutralize or render harmless the gas-laden air. The outgoing breath passes outside the face-piece through a small rubber valve. The American gas defense service is divided into three separate parts: (1) Field supply section; (2) field training section; (3) overseas repair section. The function of the field supply section is to manufacture or procure all gas-defense materials and equipment. The big work of course is to furnish our troops with effective masks. The small box respirator type of mask, admittedly the best mask in existence, was accepted as a model. The manufacture of a gas mask of this type presented a problem. No manufacturing firms had experience with an article of this kind. More than ordinary care must be used in making parts because the slightest defect would render the mask useless. The wide variety of materials going into the mask made it necessary to have the parts made in separate plants and assembled at a central plant. At present about sixty manufacturing firms contribute directly to the making of the American mask. With no actual experience to depend upon, much experimental and research work was necessary. An extensive experimental organization was built up, with branches in several cities. Recently it was decided to establish a government-operated plant to handle the final assembling and the difficult sewing operations on the face-piece. This plant will soon be in full operation, with about 4,000 employees. The American mask, similar to the British, is as mechanically perfect as the best experts in the country have been able to produce. The vtal feature of any respirator mask is the chemicals contained in the canister. These chemicals and absorbents are made from secret formulae. The face-piece consists of a base of cotton fabric, carefully rubberized. These face-pieces are made to fit various types of faces. A network of elastic bands over the head holds the face-piece in place. The ears are left uncovered. The mask is carried in a knapsack at the left hip, supported by a shoulder band. When troops approach a danger zone, the straps are shortened and the knapsack is shifted to rest high on the chest, ready for instant use. This is known as the "alert position." The soldier has merely to open the knapsack, pull out the flexible hose with the facepiece attached, put the rubber mouthpiece in his mouth and adjust the bands over his head. The nose clip can easily be adjusted from the outside after the face-piece is on. This nose clip insures G DEADLY ATTACKS Army Medical Department Devising Improved Protective Methods HODY WHOSE JUNGING MEANS "GAS COMING" MASK ADJUSTED AND READY FOR SERVICE that even if the fabric of the face-piece should be pierced, the soldier would still be breathing entirely through his mouth. For every mask made there is at least one extra canister. These canisters are detachable from the tube. When a canister has lost its efficiency, it can be detached and a new canister put on. About the first thing a soldier wants to know about a gas mask is how much protection it affords him. The best answer to this question is that the present American mask affords more protection than any device in existence. The chemicals in the canister will neutralize the heaviest concentrations of gases for a period at least ten times longer than the possible duration of any gas attack. In every knapsack is a record card, on which each soldier must enter the time that his mask has been exposed to gas. This record, combined with subsequent examination, makes it possible to judge accurately when there is any danger of the chemical being worn out. Before that point is reached a new mask is issued. containing the mask is hanging at the chin "alert position." Dexterity of motion may be developed. Series of trenches with dugouts have been constructed at each canonment. A gas attack is arranged. The class in the trenches, each man is given a definition, sentries are posted, the alarms are ready and the dugouts occupied. With ing clouds of smoke and chlorine are ill instructors. Masks are hurriedly alarms sounded, sleeping men in dugouts and the curtains lowered. The attack of trenches are cleared, the air tested, an sion to remove masks is given. Sudden and more concentrated cloud comes the performance is repeated. Sometimes the class is taken on a hilly at night. Suddenly a report is he harmless-looking smoke cloud arises 15 feet away and drifts towards the column. A man who does not get his mask on at an instructor has thrown a paper gas bomb While the main function of the field supply section is to supply gas masks, it is also responsible for the supply of all other gas-defense equipment. This includes masks for horses, which consist of several layers of fabric which are impregnated with neutralizing chemicals. Trench or flapper fans must also be supplied in considerable number. Oxygen inhalers and oxygen bottles for use in field and base hospitals are also supplied in large numbers. Instruments for the detection of gas and the spreading of gas alarms are necessary. These consist of horns, rattles and special detecting devices. There is perhaps no feature of modern warfare in which the psychological element is more important than in connection with gas. Gases are uncanny to the untrained man. Every soldier must be made to understand that there is no protection except the gas mask, and he must believe in the value of his equipment. He must realize that the equipment itself will not do the work unless he is skillful in adjusting it quickly and being accustomed to wear it without feeling hampered. Reports of gas attacks show that the casualties are caused, not so much by defective masks, as by lack of training. Here are excerpts from official reports from the western front, giving reasons for gas casualties: "Officers and men sleeping in dugouts without having their masks attached to them, or being caught away from their dugouts without their masks." "Men in support trenches not getting the warning in time." "Helmets being worn under overcoats, with consequent difficulty in getting them out and putting them on quickly." "Men thinking that gas was gone and taking their masks off." Since casualties like these occur every time a gas attack is made, it is obvious that simply to provide troops with gas masks is not enough. They must be drilled until they feel their respirators are a part of their dress—more necessary than a pair of shoes, for they must never depart from them. They must learn to give the alarm instinctively and to have such confidence in their masks that under no circumstances will they take them off. This means stiff military discipline. It necessitates training that is different from anything that was ever attempted, since it deals with a weapon that is noiseless and sometimes invisible. It is the work of the field training section of the gas-defense service to bring home to the American soldiers the importance of his gas mask, to drill him in its use and to inspire confidence in its efficacy. The gas defense schools at all camps provide training in the theory and practice of gas defense. As in all other elements of warfare, the principles of defense can be comprehended only through a knowledge of offensive tactics. In training troops, conditions are created in the field which resemble as nearly as possible actual conditions encountered at the front. The student learns to get his mask on in a hurry, six seconds being the standard time when the knapsack THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY.

A gas attack is arranged. The class is placed in the trenches, each man is given a definite assignment, sentries are posted, the alarms are made ready and the dugouts occupied. Without warning clouds of smoke and chlorine are liberated by the instructors. Masks are hurriedly put on, alarms sounded, sleeping men in dugouts aroused and the curtains lowered. The attack ceases, the trenches are cleared, the air tested, and permission to remove masks is given. Suddenly a second and more concentrated cloud comes over and the performance is repeated. Sometimes the class is taken on a hike, preferably at night. Suddenly a report is heard and a harmless-looking smoke cloud arises 15 or 20 feet away and drifts towards the column. Woe to the man who does not get his mask on at once. The instructor has thrown a paper gas bomb, that may emit a vile and nauseating gas, or one that will sting the eyes more than the concentrated juice of a thousand onions. Gas warfare is new. The methods of gas and shell and cloud attack are being changed almost daily. New conditions can only be met by thorough training and rigid discipline. The overseas section of the gas-defense service consists of about 15 officers and a number of enlisted men who will conduct a repair factory in France. Masks with worn-out canisters will be sent to this country to be detached from the tube and new canisters put on. This section will also be equipped with sewing machines and other appliances to do general repair work on the mask. BABY MISTOOK SNAKE FOR TOY. Mrs. Richard D. Corder placed her little daughter Mildren in her go-cart in the front yard of their home, near Lawrenceburg Junction, her. She saw a large blacksnake crawl into the cart and nestle on baby's pinfore. Darting its head here and there the blacksnake intently watched the baby. Probably the infant thought a new toy had come and put out its chubby hand to grasp the snake, which eluded the child. Terror nearly paralyzed Mrs. Corder. She could not move, but she uttered a shriek. Mrs. Charles W. Corder, her sister-in-law, who was calling on her, ran to her, and she pointed to the baby cart. Mrs. Charles W. Corder rushed out, seized the snake by the tall and flung it yards away, and the baby began crying for its pretty new toy. LESS DANGER IN WAR. In this war fourteen out of fifteen men come through safe and sound, not more than one man in thirty is killed, and only one in 500 loses an arm or leg. In the Civil war the per cent was much higher. In fact, the soldier in this war stands no greater chance of being killed or injured than a man engaged in a hazardous occupation. CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 14 JESUS REQUIRES CONFESSION AND LOYALTY. LESSON TEXT—Mark 8:27-38. GOLDEN TEXT-Who will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.-Mark 8:34. DEVOTIONAL READINGS-Romans ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS-Luke 6:18-27; 67-62. PRIMARY AND JUNIOR TOPIC-Jesus and the Blind Man. PRIMARY MEMORY VERSE-He hath done all things well-Mark 7:37. The time has now come for Jesus to take account of his ministry. Having been rejected by the rulers, he goes into retirement with his disciples. His primary object in his teaching during this time is to prepare the disciples for the tragedy of the cross, which he knew was so near. His teaching gathers around the great cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith. He instructs them touching his person, atoning death, resurrection and glorious coming again. He knew that in the measure that they intelligently apprehended these things they would be able to pass through the ordeals before them. The same is true today. Those who clearly apprehend the Divine Person, the vlcarious atonement, the glorious resurrection, and second coming of Christ, are undisturbed by the world tragedies of the present hour. I. Peter's Confession of Christ (vv. 27-30). Two questions of Christ provoked this confession: 1. "Whom do men say that I am?" (vv. 27, 28). This question referred to the opinions of the people regarding Jesus. Some believed him to be John the Baptist, some Ellijah, and some one of the prophets. They all recognized him to be a teacher or prophet with more than human authority and power. Today, as then, there is a diversity of opinion among people as to Jesus Christ. Some think that he was only a man, others that he was a great teacher, but nothing more. Jesus was not content with this acknowledgment. Had he been satisfied with this, he would not have been molested in Jerusalem, for the Jews willingly acknowledged him as much more than a human teacher. 2. "Whom say ye that I am?" (vv. 29, 30). 11. Jesus Teaching Concerning the Cross (vv. 31-33). Christ charged the disciples not to make public his Messiahship, as that would precipitate the crisis. The disciples needed much instruction yet to prepare them for the crucial hour of the cross. 1. What he taught (v. 31). (1) "The Son of Man must suffer many things." He suffered physical weariness and hunger, ridicule and contempt, and even misunderstanding and lack of appreciation on the part of his friends and disciples. (2) "Be rejected of the elders, chief priests and scribes." These were the nation's official representatives, the very ones who should have known and received Christ and recommended his reception on the part of the nation. Truly, he came to his own, and his own received him not—John 1:11. To be rejected by one's own friends and relatives is doubly painful. (3) "Be killed." This announcement was startling to the disciples. They had not yet come to realize that redemption was to be accomplished through the passion and the cross. Jesus now states with definiteness and certainty that he must die on the cross. This necessity was due primarily to the fact that it was the divine purpose to make the death of Christ the heart and core of the atonement; and also, to human hatred and opposition. (4) "Rise again." Though this was utterly incomprehensible to the disciples, he shows them that this would be the glorious issue of his death. III. The Cost of Discipleship (v. 34). The law of the Christian life is suffering. To follow Christ means to turn one's back upon the world. To repudiate the world means to incur the hatred of the world. To be Christians, therefore, means to share Christ's sufferings. 1. There must be denial of self (.34). This means the sufferings and shame which lie in the path of loyalty to God. To live the godly life means suffering (2 Tim. 3:12). 3. Christ must be followed (v. 34). This means to have the mind of Christ (Phil. 2:5) and to perform the service of Christ. IV. The Issue of Discipleship (vv. 85-38). The blessed issue of following Christ is a life of freedom here and now, and eternal life hereafter. Such sacrifice enriches the life that now is, and prepares for the enjoyment of the life which is to come. To barter the future life for present enjoyment is most foolish, for the choices of life are fraught with eternal issues. Those who refuse to follow in Christ's footsteps shall be separated from him at his glorious appearing (v. 88; compare 2 Thess. 1:7-10). Are you prepared when the call shall come?

Much of this splendor of joyous millinery is out of the question for the "flapper" who must wait until more years than seventeen have passed by her before she may have whatever she wills. "It is forbidden" is written on much trimmed millinery for her. But those who make the needs of the young girl their special care, have provided lovely, simply trimmed hats for her; embodying the charm of little girlhood in them. No one else can wear hats just like them. Three models, made for the girl between twelve and seventeen are pictured in the group above, two of them for all-round wear and one for dress-up times. The hat at the upper left is of Italian milan with the crown in the natural color of the straw and the brim in blue. Several colors in the brim with natural color in the crown make a choice of combinations possible in this hat. It is trimmed with a wide band of moire ribbon fastened at the front with a painted ornament of wood. The ribbon extends from the right front of the shape to the middle of the back, about the left side. It is S turned down at the back falling in a single sash end to the waistline. At the right a snappy, picturesque shape is of Italian milan all in the natural color of the braid. It rolls up at the left side. A band of blue velvet ribbon is attached to the upturn and brought around the hat to the back. Here it is arranged in a flat bow against the crown with two short streamers falling from it half way to the waistline. An ornament painted in the same bright blue as the ribbon is posed against the crown at the right. No flapper will be able to look upon the hat pictured at the center of the group without growing enthusiastic. It is a light pink hair braid having a wide brim faced with georgette crepe and three rows of narrow lingerie lace in frills about the brim. It has a long sash of wide pink satin ribbon and the sweetest of small garden roses, full blown, sets in its leaves, against the sash at the front. Almost any flapper will blossom into a vision of loveliness in it.

BLOOD or BREAD Others are giving their blood You will shatter the w save life if you eat unk what you need and waste nothing OUR CARELESS PARENTS. By Joe E. Herriford. It is astonishing how careless some of our parents are in the moral and social training of their children. True, all of them wish their children well and most of them make great physical sacrifices in order to feed and clothe them, evidently feeling that these are the ends of their obligations. As a matter of fact the feeding and clothing of children constitute only the first steps of parental duty. These things are purely instinctive and require no reasoning power. All animals do the same thing. But it is quite different with the moral and social influences which parents ought to throw about their children in order that they may grow up proper subjects for the best things which life affords. One of the most unreasonable licenses which our parents throw about their children is that of allowing them to run the streets so prodigally, early and late, unattended and unguarded. One can see budding young school girls, singly or in giddy crowds, running about with almost wanton habit, flirting with deprived boys and young libertines openly aff boldly. It seems that some parents never learn anything and allow their young daughters, especially to put any old thing over them. The end is always the same—ruin, then a great deal of sorrow, surprise and regret. A little old-time common sense would have prevented all this, of course, but it is too late after the calamity has come. Those parents who allow their growing up girls to play with that rough crowd of boys on the Parade Sunday afternoons and until long after dark are simply sowing to their own sorrow. They know it, yet they passively do it. The conduct of these children is never what it ought to be. Everything, the time, place and atmosphere, contribute to the lowest impulses. Public swings and teeter-totters are not the things for girls from twelve to sixteen years old, especially after dark. Any one with good sense knows this. Girl chum crowds are dangerous organizations. Parents should see that their girls do not belong to them. They are merely a mutual conspiracy to thwart parental desires. There are no exceptions, either. Keep an eye on your girl constantly. That is the old-fashioned way and it is the only way. This idea of trusting too much to the honor and integrity of an adolescent girl is all a mistake. It is fine theory but horrible practice. Take a look at the Parade playgrounds Sunday late in the afternoon and judge for yourself. Then go over and watch the conduct of the buds who go to and from the picture shows. You will see a great deal and this may lead you to think a little. THE WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT HOSPITAL COMMITTEE HOSPITAL COMMITTEE is pleased to announce, after much exasperating delay, contracts have been closed and bonds accepted for the work on the work on the New Hospital which has begun and which the contractor, Mr. Ewing, assures us will be ready for the big open ing June 1st.

Governor Manning demanded an investigation of the lynching of Walter Best at Fairfax, Barnwell county, on February 23, and instructed Sheriff J. B. Morris to arrest all who were involved, as a result of which action seventeen persons said to be prominent farmers have been placed under bonds aggregating $97,500, for trial in the courts. Governor Dorsey offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of any member of the mob concerned in the lynching of Spencer Evans at Crawfordsville, Ga., on the night of March 22. The first arrest ever made in this city by Colored officers for pro-Germanism was made by Officers John Hughes and Joseph Turner last Monday, at 18th and Troost, when a crowd of Negroes and white men were pummeling a German named Fred Wactor for persisting in yelling "Hock the Kaiser." After the officers had fought their way through the crowd by vigorously using their clubs, they rescued the much-battered German and turned him over to Sergeant Ryan, who had him carried to No. 6 station where he was later taken before the United States commissioner as an enemy alien." Officers Hughes and Turner say things were red hot and sizzling for a little while before they got to him. Lightning Statistics.
