NUMBER 423 Quarterly RED CROSS MAKES DISTINCTION Serving White and Colored in War Zone Over Seas ments in This THOUSANDS OF SWEAT Several Thousand Sweaters We Draftees in Ten Days Dur Washington, D. C., June 12—Many inquiries are coming from the colored people of every section of the country as to what the American Red Cross Society is doing to relieve the needs of the Negro soldiers in the camps and cantonments of this country and what species of aid and comfort is being given to the colored warriors who are battling on the fields of France. The subjoined letter from Mr. Joseph R. Hamlen, of the head heads quarters of the American Red Cross Society, in answer to an inquiry sent out from the office of Emmett J. Scott Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, describes somewhat in detail the character of the work the organization is doing, and declares, among other things of vital importance, that the services of the Red Cross are being "rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, and with out distinction." The letter from Mr. Hamlen follows: THE NEW WHEATLEY-PRO Now rapidly nearing completion at 1822 at it, and then if you have not paid your suits acquirement, do so at once. The American Red Cross: Nationa Headquarters. Washington, D. C., June 5, 1918. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Scott: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of May 29th in which you ask for information as to what the Red Cross has already done in the war zone or at the cantonments of this country for the Negro Soldiers. I am glad to be given this opportunity to tell you of our work in this respect. The Red Cross is rendering the same service to colored men that it is to white troops. No distinction is being made because of the color of the enlisted men. Sweaters and other knitted goods and comforts have been distributed to white and colored alike. We are rendering the same service to the families of white and colored alike. Emergency supplies are furnished at the request of colored officers, and in the hospitals, our men who do communication work, write letters at the request of enlisted men without distinction because of color. Nearly 10,000 Sweaters to Colored Draftees in Ten Days. I remember a specific instance of service rendered to a large number of colored drafted men last fall. They arrived at one of the large Army camps during a period of intensely cold weather. The General in command of the Division appealed to us The Kansas City Sun and we were able to furnish him with 2,500 sweaters within a few hours and a total of 10,000 within ten days. Practically all of the first 2,500 of these sweaters went to colored troops, and a great majority of the ten thousand went to them. I hope you will state with as much emphasis as possible that our constant efforts in behalf of the soldiers and sailors on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, are rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction. Very cordially yours, (Signed) JOSEPH R. HAMLEN, Assistant to the Nice (California) Assistant to the Vice Chairman. The above communication will doubtless be read with the deepest interest by the colored men and women of this country, who have been and are in perfect accord with the aims of the Red Cross Society, but who had not been informed through any reliable source as to what the organiza- PROVIDENT HOSPITAL at 1826 Forest Avenue.

Thousands of these gallant men are under fire on the battle fields of France, and many more of our brave and patriotic colored Americans are in camp in our own land, preparing to join their brethren in the deadly conflict "over there." As to the Use Of Colored Red Cross Nurses. The situation with regard to the use of colored Red Cross nurses is a matter which also is now receiving the attention of the War Department. The Secretary of war, Mr. Scott advises, will soon announce through the office of the Surgeon-General, the decision with reference to the utilization of the many competent women of the race who have so cheerfully registered their willingness to aid in the winning of the war by serving as nurses in the military hospitals at home and abroad. We regret to know that the very courteous and capable manager of the Crossett Shoe Store, 1005 Main street, has taken up work in Chicago. Mr. Wallace was one of our regular advertisers and always expressed satisfaction with the results. The Crossett Company never advertised a sale in our paper that they could not live up to. We are pleased, however, to know that Mr. Fox, who has been with the company's branch here for a number of years, will become the manager. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1918. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA The popular, capable and acknowledged leader of 12,000,000 American Negro citizens who has most satisfactorily demonstrated his peculiar and special fitness for the exalted position he holds as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Eighteen years the intimate associate and private Secretary of the immortal Booker T. Washington, and Special Commissioner of the United States Government to the Republic of Liberia has given him a diplomatic standing and ability that no other Negro in America enjoys. The Negroes of the West admire and believe conclusively in Emmett J. Scott and our slogan out here on the broad rolling prairies of the great West is "Where he leads, we will follow." THE WORLD'S OUTLOOK By Chas. A. Starks. We all try more or less to discern beyond the pale of this Great War and read the inevitable. Scientists point out readily the aurora of a new and real democracy; statesmen inculcate this thought into their pronunciaments to the public; newspapers carry tons of editorials leading up to and elucidating its propaganda; hope is held out to all races by preaching its coming regime. All is well providing it ends well, which we certainly hope it will. Ten years ago a cosmic glance showed the world enjoying a reasonable peace. The whole gentry of those who know were soothing us with what we have since learned to be a siren song entitled: "The Impossibility of Another Great War." We listened The popular, capable and acknowleddemonstrated his peculiar and special of War. Eighteen years the intimate Special Commissioner of the United States and ability that no other Negro in Emmett J. Scott and our slogan out he follow." and were delighted. We thought we were at least in that expectant preparatory state of the millennium. It is now useless and vain to dwell upon the futility of this dream. However there is a lesson in this bit of past summing up of the trend of civilization if he will only see. This much we now understand. We were deceived by false prophets. They knew not the Truth themselves and if they knew they told us not, less we might know and believe. Today we are working, hoping, fighting and watching. This last is something every alive human being is likely to do whether they partake of any of the glories of the first three or not—Watch! WHO'S WAR. In the early part of 1916 there were forty-two Races engaged in the Great conflict across the waters. This number has been augmented considerably since then. But note;—Out of those 42 races 23 of the same belong to what is properly called "The Darker Type" In America they are generally called Negroes and specifically styled "Niggers" by southern contingents. Here the Negro has the preponderance of racial groups fighting the Good fight and if he does not (a fact we do not claim) outnumber the Caucasian in units he certainly is a big factor as England, France and America must justly attest. Who's war is this, then? 'The above facts determine us to declare it to be Everybody's War. Upon this true basis every dark typed son in the world may Fight and Hope.' "COLORED PEOPLE." When writers and speakers use this term in its universal sense remember what it means in the final summing up when the call of blood is heard or the "Consciousness of Kind" is demonstrated. The Japanese, the Chinese and all other "eese" conglomerated with the pronounced Negroid elements must and are bound to speak in the Great World adjustment out of which we hope will emerge the much heralded Democracy. As for Colored people in this country they may boldly state that they have a Hope. They hope that under the rule of this New Thing Rights stealing will be abolished. Burning of human beings, segregation and oppression of working groups will cease. Under the blessed conditions which Democracy promises I know of a Race who will grow to Giant-like proportions in its progress upward. A WORLD PROBLEM, INDEED. But are the World powers preparing a spirit of receptiveness for this New Glory? Are they preparing to accept THE MUSICIAN HON. EMMETT J.

The Negroes of the V ere on the broad rolling prairies of the g the standardizing program which must inevitably come with Democracy? Our opinion here is—Ultimately Yes. But now we merely hazard that France—France the noble-hearted, France is ready for Democracy! And England. One's thoughts of you naturally run to India, Australia or Africa and we find ourselves speculating on the new dispensation that will be demanded by these, Yours. And thou too America, Oh my Home! What of Thee? What will you do to be saved Here is a Country that has never had but one real hard complexed and vexed problem, and that is the Negro! All other questions have been met and reasonably if not satisfactorily solved. But this one lags. As was said of the Poor may be said of the Negroes—"You have them with you always." Why has not this problem been solved." Because there has never been a big sincere attempt on the part of the powers that be to solve it on the only true basis—and that is Justice and Fairness to all. Therefore, knowing the History and temperament of both Races in this Country I am bold enough to say that nine-tenths of America's population will readily accept "Democracy" for themselves. But Heavens, there is that "One-tenth," the proverbial submerged, you know. What about them? Who are they? You know and I know. What about them? Who are they? You know and I know. But here is a statement from Truth, Science:—There are ten units in a whole. With one unit left out in any collective scheme marks its eternal incompleteness, its error, its untruth—America, therefore must consider its ten units as a whole, it must be willing that 100 per cent of its people may enjoy the fruits of all good that may accrue from this new Institution. SPECIFICALLY FOR US. As a distinct people we have a right, even now, to consider the outcome of the War as affecting our social, political, economic and Industrial status. We have a right to go to War with the Idea that the Democracy we are fighting for has a real and wholesome portent for us. We have a right to feel that in giving our lives for our country we are aiding the establishment of a permanent World endurable as well as far reaching to the obscure precincts of the Universe, affecting all peoples and all classes. We further have the right to hope that this thought will not prove a mockery in the future as it has proved in the past and is largely now. Scientifically we are born Free. gro citizens who has most satisfactorily as Special Assistant to the Secretary immortal Booker T. Washington, and Alabama has given him a diplomatic stand-West admire and believe conclusively in great West is "Where he leads, we will Free as the spring that gushes from the mountain. The Bird who cuts the ether of heaven with soaring wing; the fish, who in his subterranean glory swims happily along; Free as all of these in their natural beautiful state. Vain men, however, in the spirit of "Many inventions" Has put limitations on this Liberty and has enslaved mankind with anti-Freedom hamperings. In contemplating world conditions today this Truth is revealed:—What Liberty we know or enjoy is in danger. Therefore, along with earning whatever we may get we must also fight for the preservation of what we have. This is the proposition put up to Negroes. And this is what we are fighting for—Liberty and Freedom under the rule of World Democracy. We advise Negroes to study these things closely guided always by the restraints of Patriotism and a spirit of Loyalty to our common Country. In this way only can you hope to penetrate even slightly the veil which curtains The World Outlook. Lincoln's New President.

It is Generally Conceded that Kansas City Negro Physicians and Surgeons are Superior to Those Found in Most any Other Section of the Great West Due to the unusual and Splendid Hospital Facilities Recorded a Race in This City. WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT HOSPI TAL A BIG FACTOR IN THEIR SUCCESS. PAY YOUR PLEDGES. To one who has witnessed the remarkable stride made by the Negro Medical profession in this city in recent years and the difficult but highly successful surgical operations that have been performed by them have a right to congratulate themselves upon the high degree of proficiency our men in the Medical profession are attaining in this community. Realizing that if our Medical men were to compete with those of the other race, they must be both capable and proficient, Dr. J. Edward Perry who stands without a peer as a Surgeon in the Great West established some years ago the Perry Sanitarium which has since grown in the Wheatley-Provident Hospital that, our men might have an opportunity to develop their talent in caring for the sick and needy of our race. So successful has been this venture inaugurated by Dr. Perry that we are now preparing to enter into a larger—more imposing and more commodious hospital building than even the most sanguine dreamed of twenty years ago due largely to the indefatigable efforts of such aggressive leaders as Drs. Perry, Unthank and Lambright of the older physicians and Drs. G. W. Brown, W. J. Thompkins, E. A. Walker, T. A. Jones, D. M. Miller and C. A. M. Kane of the younger physicians backed up by a loyal and enthusiastic body of laymen who realize the necessity of hospital facilities commensurate with the needs of our large Negro population where prejudice denies us admission with those members of the other race.

By Albon L. Holsey. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Mr. Daniel W. Chase, of Washington, D. C., encloses the following as having been suggested by the Business League Boosters: "The changing world opens up to us new vistas. Negro journalism has made marked strides upward, but the strides in journalism have been far distanced by the powerful influence exerted upon the minds of the people by that gigantic organization—that solid phalanx of merchant kings and the like—The National Negro Business League. This league is training the race by its weekly letters in business methods, teaching us that modern business is now a science. New fields are opening up, untried fields, and the onward march of business calls for trained executives—men and women of initiative to teach system in its broadest sense to the number of our boys and girls who must take their places in the business world, thereby gaining for themselves an economic status. Our business men must be trained in the art of gaining and keeping customers; they must know salesmanship. Industry pays. Reconstruction, readjustment after the war calls for trained men in business methods. An organization like the National Negro Business League has shown the need of accountants, business managers—men of signal ability and skill. Training draws from men the best that is in them." "Control of values is a paramount necessity in our present war, and men skilled in finance, the value of figures, in banking and banking house practices, will be in great demand. What have I learned from the weekly reading of Business League Boosters? Frankly, I answer, and you just must agree with me: Efficiency in one Establishment Encourages Efficiency in Other Establishments. (To be Continued next week.)

Owing to the high cost of living, the good people of Macon are compelled to charge the small amount of Seventy-five Cents a day for our entertainment, which is nothing in comparison to what good we will get out of the meeting, and the royal manner the Allen C.

The village of Robbins inaugurated its newly elected officers a few days ago at Jennie Smith's Hall. The entire town was out to witness the affair. It is about seven miles from the city limits of Chicago and has the distinction of being the only town in Cook county to be entirely officered by colored men. The heads of villages in Illinois are called "presidents," and the president performs the same duties as mayors of cities.

We are not asking the Commission to permanently change our rate. In the application submitted— Permission to make a surcharge of 7 cents per month to resident consumers is asked, but there is no other change in the residential rate. A surcharge of $1 per month per kilowatt of connected load to commercial consumers. Increase in the demand charge of 25 cents per month per kilowatt of demand, and an increase in the energy charge of one-half of one cent per kilowatt hour to power consumers. These are all the changes asked for in the petition for temporary relief. Since the present rate was established the current purchased outside our own plants has been increased $400,000 annually on the present coal basis. Taxes have increased 53½ per cent; materials 30 per cent; labor 46½ per cent; fuel 57¼ per cent. We are facing a deficit during 1918 of approximately $800,000. Unless relief is given it will be impossible to meet the operating expense during the next twelve months, there being a deficit since the present rate was established in May, 1917, of at least $300,000. The Public Service Commission is asked to make a complete investigation into the books of the Company. We are only asking for relief to tide us over present war conditions. It is not a question of dividend paying. All the facts will be made public. Realizing that our present conditions are but temporary, we are not asking for material changes in our present rates, but only for special revenue to meet the exigencies of the situation.

C., REFUSED SOLDIERS, LUNCHES AND DAINTIES ON FINDING THAT THEY WERE COLORED. In Nashville, Tenn., Patriot Says, "We Prepared These Comforts for American Soldiers and Here Is a Train Full of Them" —Women of Nashville All-Ameri- In judging the South in its relation to the Negro, whatever may be the incident under consideration, if one is not exceedingly careful he will go wide of the mark. To be sure there are certain fixed principles upon which you can rely in judging the attitude of the South, but in working out race relations in the concrete the South differs as widely as its length and breadth in geography. For instance, a group of white Red Cross workers at Greensboro, N. C., had arranged lunches for a train of soldiers that was to pass through the city. When the Red Cross workers reached the station and found that the train was loaded with colored soldiers they refused to pass out the lunches, and right-about-faced and left the station in disappointment. A thoroughly disgraceful and un-American thing to do in view of the fact that the Negro soldiers were no doubt then en route to the front to make liberty secure for the very persons in Greensboro who refused to do them a patriotic courtesy. On the other hand, the women of one of the patriotic organizations of Nashville, Tenn., recently prepared cigarettes, post cards and the like for a trainload of troops routed through the city. On the arrival of the train, to the surprise of the members of the organization, the soldiers were found to be Negro soldiers instead of white soldiers. After a moment's hesitation they went forth. "We prepared these comforts for American soldiers," they said, "and here is train full of them." An exceedingly patriotic and beautiful thing to do. The women of Nashville revealed the all-American spirit, and by contrast the women of Greensboro are at a decided disadvantage. FRANKLIN-DAVY WEDDING FRANKLIN-DAVY WEDDING.

The bride wore a dress of gray Crepe De Chine and carried a large bouquet of white bride's roses arranged with Gypsyjelians. The groom wore the conventional blue. Little Miss Maeadean Burress was flower girl and carried a basket of pink sweet peas. Mr. and Mrs. Davy will be at home at 809 W. 13th Street, Junction City, Kans. New York Governor Lauds Their Valor or in Address. New York, June 6.—A Negro regiment carried the first American flag to the firing line, declared Governor Charles Whitman tonight in dedicating the new Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association building for negro men. He paid a tribute to the courage of Negro tdoops. "About a year ago," he sad, "a regiment left this country about 2,000 strong for France. The men of that regiment were Negroes. It was the soldiers of that regiment—there are not 2,000 of them now—who carried the first American flag to the firing line. Americans, black and white, are proud of the valor of those men." LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY ASKS RELIEF The Kansas City Light and Power Company is asking of the State Public Utilities Commission permission to tax its current customers the sum of seven cents per room in order to raise additional funds to meet the increased cost of operating expenses. A good many people have been erroneously advised that the price of current is to be raised, but this is not so. The tax depends solely upon the number of rooms lighted, and no other extra charge is to be made. CARD OF THANKS.

There are many yellow boys among the Negro troops sent over to whip the Germans, but it will be found that none of them will show the yellow streak. Tt was just as we have said all along. In the tide of battle this week and when the Allied lines were way- ering under the fierce German as- saults the American Negro troops by a brilliant dash saved the day. Even the prejudiced Star had to give it to us. Each of the Negro teachers who were reappointed received a substan- tial increase in salary.

The light, care- less, desultory spirit of the average parent and school student is one of the greatest dangers that confronts our race, All school principals would do’ well to join in the same agitation. Those lazy, shiftless and ignorant Negroes and equally worthless whites who persist in tramping through the flower beds and across the grass plots on the Paseo, particularly in those districts inhabited by Colored people ‘ought not only be arrested every time they do so but ought to be given a good clubbing as well that it might percolate through their worthless skulls that the flower beds and beauty spots were intended for something better than their big shiftless feet to tramp down and destroy. Not only the Park Board but the police de- partment as well should make diligent effort to apprehend these wanton and malicious destroyers of the beauty spots of Kangas City. In keeping with its usual policy of villifying all those political candidates whom it cannot use, the Star is wag- ing its usual venomous cowardly fight upon Judge William T. Bland who is @ candidate for Congress and who as President of the School Board of Kan- sas City gave to the people of this Community the most progressive and gratifying administration School at- fairs have ever known In this city. ‘The Sun predicts that the Star's cow- ardly attack wiil have the same ef- fect on Judge Bland that they have had in the past and will have in this campaign on Judge Miles Bulger of the Jackson county court, in that it will increase their majorities in the pri- maries to an overwhelming figure and ‘will give the thousands of independent voters and Republicans who believe in the right men in the right places an opportunity to help triumphantly elect them to the offices to which they as- pire.

Starks. As predicted the crowd exceeded the one at the "Pageant." According to program all went well and in order. The Oratorical numbers, though de- livered ably, seemed long drawn out and too numerous. Our audiences are becoming more sober and balanced in their general behavior—Congratulations! Miss Helen Wheeler carried off the prizes this year for scholarship and general excellence in studies. The Reverend gentlemen who delivered the invocation covered every thing from Dan to Bersheba. "Bye and Bye," a Musical number by N. C. Smith, rendered by the choir and led by some spectacularly sweet singer was the feature of the evening. --- Whereas people commented upon the dearth of musical numbers. Those rendered, however, were happy and successful with the possible exception of the Saxophone Quartette. To those who form a comparative estimate of this event in connection with the one last year should remember that "First Things" have a certain "Charm" over their repetitions. The Oratorical wares offered were essentially studied along the lines of the accoutrements of War. This, of course, forbid the warm indulgence in race propaganda so signally practiced in other days. Principal Lee rightly censured a Soda Pop vender who intruded his clanking and disturbing wares upon the audience and performers to their comfiture. Principal Lee left Tuesday for Tuskegee where he begins a series of four weeks lectures to various colleges and universities in the Southland. As a prodigous, tireless worker Principal Lee has no equal. The $10.00 given by Dr. E. B. Ramsey for the best all-around record was given to Coburn Walden, who had gone to Bluefields, W. Va., to join his parents who are now located there. When the name of J. Edw. Fladger was called in the distribution of diplomas and Principal Lee pointed to the chair draped with the American flag and announced that Fladger is now a Lieutenant in the United States Army serving his country somewhere in France, the applause from the 1,200 people present made the massive auditorium tremble. Among the things that elicited much favorable comment was the brief, forceful and highly interesting address of Prof. Joseph L. Bowler, a graduate of the Class of '08. May the splendid example set by Mr. Bowler be followed by all future Commencement orators. He spoke less than ten minutes, and said more interesting and pleasing things than the average Commencement orator says in an hour. Life is short and time is fleeting, Sun is hot and still a-heating; Hire our car, 'tis safe and cool. East seven-eight-three will get t School. 1420 WOODLAND AVENUE. Kansas City, Kansas By Mrs. W. T.

Mr. and Mrs. Hall have purchased a nice home here in the 300 block on Stewart and will move here soon. By Mrs. W. T. Biggers. Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Landor are getting along fine in their store opposite Stanley Hall in Quindaro. Mrs. H. ouston of Omaha spent several days in the city visiting her niece Mrs. Wilbur Cummings on Virginia street. Mrs. Ada Hudson, 440 Boswell, wishes her many friends to know that she is well and getting along nicely at her new home on the Kansas Side. Mrs. Leona Simmons of Alliance, Neb., who has been visiting Mrs. Mattie Johnson, 2106 N. 3rd, and her husband at Camp Funston, came home June 7th. Mr. Henry Childers, 400 Cleveland, died Friday, June 7th, and funeral services were preached from the Metropolitan Temple Monday at 3:30 p. m. Rev. Holmes officiated. The following named ladies will attend Grand Court of Heroines of Jericho in Atchison this week: Mesdames Bertha Carrol, Marie Wilson, Hattie Gambie, Maggie Merrett, Hattie Ewing and Miss Fannie Murray. The many friends of Mrs. Fannie Johnson, R. R. No. 3, Quindaro, will be surprised to know that she was married to Rev. J. A. Rucker, of St. Louis about four nights ago.

Gray, styled as "The World's Little Evangelist" conducted the meeting. A chorus of fifty voices assisted. A CLASSICAL PLAY "The Fate of a Traitor," the fouract war drama presented by the Athenaem Art Club in Lincoln High School Assembly Hall Monday night, the 10th, was an excellent production. Each character is worthy of special mention. Mrs. Clara Adams as leading lady was indeed good, while Mrs. Essie Lewis in her quiet and unassuming manner rendered her part well. Miss Gertrude Smith as Aunt Chloe was strikingly fit for her part. Mrs. Ella Lawson made a good "mother." The solos by Mesdames Lulu Madison, Lena Johnson and Mr. Edw. Boatner were exceptionally good. The male characters Messrs. Arthur Johnson, Henry Cox, Sylvester Smith, Archie Madison, H. H. Britton and Wm. Marshall were all good in their respective parts. The characters were trained by Mrs. W. T. Osborne, wife of the pastor of the Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, and the production of the play reflects great credit upon her ability in that line of work, as well as the talent of the individuals participating. Should Mrs. Osborne organize a School of Dramatic Art in Kansas City where there is broad field for such talent, her fame would become renowned.

CALDWELL It has often been said that Kansas City is the Mecca of our men in the medical profession, and the large number of practitioners located here demonstrates that it is one of the most advanced fields for our physicians in the country. But Kansas City is e exceedingly fortunate to have among the large number of young men in the medical profession to settle in this community such an excellent gentleman and splendid physician as Dr. W. W. Caldwell, whose likeness appears above: Dr. Caldwell for ten years was the leading physician in Atchison, Kansas, and only left his large practice there at the earnest solicitation of the late brilliant Dr. E. J. McCampbell to come here for the purpose of forming a partnership in the practice of medicine. This community still feels CHAPLAIN SCOTT VISITS CITY. Chaplain Oscar J. W.

The monstrous specimen that has almost depopulated the island alluded to through hasty flight of scores of natives by small boats to a neighboring isle, broke down fences over which it crawled, knocked over small outbuildings, uprooted palm trees and cut big swaths through fields of crops. While it has been pronounced to be the only known living specimen of the thought-to-be-extinct gigantic amphibii diplodocidae, so far as is known, and while it disappeared after crossing the narrowest point of the island, those who saw it and so far recovered from their fright as to be able to discuss it, declare that it was the most terrifying thing they have ever seen or wish to see again, and all agree that it had eyes that shone like searchlights, huge teeth and mustaches exactly like the kaiser's. Its whinings and other noises as it passed over the island were not as unnerving to the natives as was its mammoth size, which was awe-inspiring. Some of the natives declare they will never return to the island. Minister Saved Money by "Dicker" With Footpad BIRMINGHAM, ALA.—A very interesting story came to light Sunday, when it was related that a very distinguished minister of the Methodist church, Dr. Plato Durham, had been held up by a young white man as he alighted to shoot; just tell me what you want and I will give you anything that I have," said Doctor Durham. "I want money, and I need it badly, and I am going to have it." "Well, I have $0, a five and four ones, here," replied Doctor Durham, "and I will give you the four and I will keep the five, for I am a Methodist minister, and you know that we preachers don't have much money, so I think you ought to leave me the big end of it." "Well, I'll be d——," replied the amateur road agent; "ain't this a —— of a business for a white man to be engaged in? Why, this is a nigger's job; but I tell you I need money, and I need it bad, so give me the five and keep the four ones." "No; I think you ought to leave me the biggest pile, for I am hard up, too," replied the preacher; "so here are the four ones, and I will keep the five-spot," and he handed the nightman the four one-dollar notes. "All right," said the unknown masked man; "but you won't shoot as I walk away, or you won't report this to the police, will you?" "No," replied Dr. Plato Durham, and he has up to this hour kept his word. Absent-Minded Governor Almost Got Stranger's Hat Absent-Minded Governor Almost Got Stranger's Hat NEW YORK.—Governor Whitman, at the meeting of the National Union at the Garden theater, didn't know his own hat and sought to grab another man's. And the two lids didn't resemble each other in the least, for the form, where he spoke at length on the issues of the war and the Liberty loan. Pausing at length, he cast his eyes behind him. Though still under the spell of his own eloquence, he realized that he needed a hat in order to go forth. The man who sat at the right of the speakers' rostrum held a likely appearing one in his hand. Calmly, abstractedly, the governor possessed himself of it. The bereft man was a good sport and made no protest. But Mr. Hershfield was not going to see a fellow member of the National Union—who, by the way, happened not to possess much hair—getting a cold in the head through losing his hat, even if it was to the man who had been introduced as "our great war governor." So he tactfully thrust his hand forward, and Mr. Whitman, remembering that he ought to shake hands with the chairman, dropped the hat to do it. By this time the useful military secretary was or hand with the right lid and all was well. When Will Folks Recognize Boys Crave Excitement?

They found a cave in one of the many near-by hills, stole a few chairs and a table, and then decided to take a few meals there, reports a correspondent of the Baltimore American. There would be no excitement in just asking their mothers for the meal, so they decided to get their own meals. They raided a few ice boxes, taking bread and butter and other things. At one of these raids they trod on war gardens. It all ended when one of their bonfires caused a forest fire, and they were arrested. Their parents pald the fine. Now, these boys are not bad, only young lovers of excitement. If the juvenile officers would have a man take charge of them and use the same cave as a clubhouse, the boys would become better citizens. But the juvenile officers played their hand wrong.

The minister got off the car, and as he walked half a block away and the car vanished he was confronted by a man who thrust a cocked pistol against his stomach and demanded that his hands go up.

THE Kirghiz are divided into two branches; the Kara (or Black) Kirghiz, who inhabit the uplands of the Russo-Chinese frontier on the headwaters of the Yenisel river, and the Kirghiz-Kazaks or Kirghiz-Riders, who live on the steppes of the central Aslatic plateau and extend as far west as the Volga. The Kirghiz-Kazaks are a Turko-Mongolian people, whose appearance inclines to the Mongolian type, but whose language has preserved its primitive Tatar (Turkish) form, writes E. Nelson Fell in Asla. They number about two million souls and are scattered over a wide territory of about two million square miles in extent. During seven years the writer lived in intimate association with this people, as employer of the small fraction of them willing to work in and around the mines, and as a friend and companion of the large majority of them, who preferred to carry on the spirit of their, race on the open steppe, meeting the sun in his daily course over the boundless plateau and watching their animals under stars at night, flitting from pasture to pasture as their flocks and herds required fresh grazing. Here is a people which neither sows nor reaps, and which takes no thought of the morrow, but unthinkingly relies upon nature to provide for its wants by natural increase; which preserves its own integrity and continuity, not by restraints imposed from the outside, but by restraints imposed by the individuals upon themselves; which cares for the stranger by the divinely imposed duty of hospitality, which provides for the fatherless and the old and infirm by self-imposed rules and customs; which respects its dead and raises monuments to protect their remains and which (probably since its adoption of Mohammedanism) believes in a future life. The Kirghiz have been Mohammedans for three or four centuries. The essence of their code is kindliness and self-restraint; kindness to man an beast and to the helpless and weak, and a self-control which arouses the sincere respect of our unbridled western natures. Their Patriarchal Government Their Patriarchal Government. They are a strictly nomadic people, who have wandered over this semi-arid land for centuries and have acquired a prescriptive title to it, without any centralized form of government to assert their rights to it against intruders. Their form of patriarchal self-government is quite well defined to themselves but almost invisible to our centralized minds. Each Aool (a settlement of 15 or 20 tents) is in charge of a headman, sometimes or "sultan," in whom all the property of the Aool is considered to be vested. This over-lordship usually passes from father to son without friction, and the responsibility for the physical well-being of the Aool rests with him; the rules for the care of the old and young are prescribed by ancient custom, and the harmony of the Aool is rarely disturbed. It is a gay life which the Kirghiz lead in their tents in the summer. Chattering an unceasing chatter, they watch the sun slip across the sky and night finds them chattering still. If a stranger comes in sight they jump into their saddles and rush helterskelter to meet him. With loud cries of "Amann! Amann, Bai!" they welcome him and seize the reins of his horse, drag him at headlong speed into their Aool and lead him into the tent suitable to his rank. The intensity of the chatter increases; the koumis is whipped to a foam in the huge skins which contain it and poured into a large bowl; from this it is served in smaller painted bowls, made of wood and holding about a quart, to each person present. It is a gay, merry life, and in the tents of the rich patriarchs, it is one of considerable dignity. Their tents are of snowy white felt with the edges gaily embroidered. The ropes passing over such a tent are of camel's hair whose strands are of varied and gay colors. Like all yurtas, it is circular in shape with a semi-circular domelike top. A large one will be 25 feet in diameter, and the interior is free from all obstructions. The top is open to the sky, but can be closed at night or in bad weather by a tunduk or large flap of felt. Inside there is no furniture, but the ground, which constitutes the floor, is covered with the finest emboldened felts and rugs from Samarkand. The sides are hung with gorgeous silks and large silk cushions are profusely distributed. When guests are expected, the family hangs their brightest clothes and richest furs on ropes which stretch across the tent, and the whole effect is beautiful and extremely luxurious. Everyone sits on the ground or reclines on cushions and, when food is served (which is a continuous performance), a small round table is brought in, about six inches high. The only discontented thing in the tent is the hunting eagle, which sits in the background on his perch, sighing for the return of winter. The Kirghiz are a short, thick-set race, with coarse black hair on their heads but with little hair on their faces. Their complexion is a dark olive brown and the young people have a pleasant rosy glow in their cheeks; their features have many of the Mongolian characteristics. The race is much mixed, however, and individuals of Turkish and Semitic cast of features are not lacking. They are neither ugly nor beautiful, but their expression is kindly and gentle; their teeth are usually white and often endure to old age unblemished. They never walk or perform any manual labor, and their hands and feet are almost invariably small. They are perfect horsemen in their own peculiar style of riding; they sit on tiny saddles with very short stirrups. No man could ride on such saddles if he were not encased, as they are, in layer upon layer of thick cotton-wadded clothes and furs (usually sheepskins), and none of our race would consent to present the picture which they do when they sit perched high on their small ponies, stuffed out twice or thrice their natural girth. The winter is a hard time for man and beast. It is seven months long, and the wind never tires of blowing, while the thermometer sinks to 50 and 60 degrees below zero. When the blizzard blows, the air is full of blinding snow, and when the sun shines, as it does sometimes, the snow becomes covered with a hard crust, and then the stock suffers cruelly. Not so much the horses, for they are naturally tough and can paw through the crust, but the cattle are more helpless and the sheep and goats entirely so, and they must be herded where the snow is soft or where there is none, or they must be fed from the small supply of wild hay which has been saved during the summer. Only the camel is safe, with his long hair protecting his uncouth body, and large soft eyes which can look straight into the storm, and with his two lumps of fat, on which he can live till the stormy time passes and spring comes again. The only relief which the people have from the tedium of winter is sport, of which they are very fond. They have few firearms and only use them when they hunt the bighorn sheep. Then they shoulder a muzzle-loading, smooth-bore, single-barrel rifle about four feet six inches long, whose barrel is so heavy that it must be supported by a wooden crutch at its muzzle end. The smaller animals they hunt with eagles, in the training and handling of which they are skillful, and a good eagle will, in a season, catch sufficient hares and foxes and wolves to furnish enough pelts for clothing all the dwellers in the Aool with the furs which are so necessary to them. The Kirkghz practice a few arts or trades on a very small scale and frequently display a considerable sense of artistic thoroughness. During the winter the women spin thread both of camel's hair and sheep's wool, not with a wheel, but with a little spindle, which can be compared to a child's top. In the summer they weave the thread into narrow strips. A stake is driven into the ground outside one of the tents and here the weaving commences and proceeds across the Steppe indefinitely until the diligence of the weaver or the supply of thread fails. Camel's hair is preferred for cloth and the result is a strip, about 10 inches wide, of dull brown cloth, rather heavy and eternally wear-proof. OLD CLOTHES BY ELIZABETH REYNOLDS. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) "Yes, she has on the old blue velvet-teen dress that Avis Kenmore brought back with her from Chicago that winter she gave her big party for those New York bankers that came out West. Jim Kenmore made good with them, they say, and now she leads in this town all right—Mrs. James Kenmore—as she has on her visiting cards. Yes. She's stylish enough, but if I was her I'd not let my husband's sister wear old clothes. Why, that hat she has on was Avis' last winter." "You don't say so! Well, some folks is mean. I have heard that Jim Kenmore's mother was an invalid for ten years or more, and that this sister Agatha Kenmore, tended her. Gave up all her youth to her—I've heard tell. Now her brother gives her a home in their handsome house, and she does look nice always. I must say, even if she does wear her sister-in-law's old clothes." An angry flame burned in the cheeks of an unwilling listener to the above conversation that took place on an interurban train as it sped through green country fields toward a flourishing town where what were once farm acres now throve a prosperous busiling "city." Mrs. Kenmore—for the unwilling listener she was she—waited a little behind so that her neighbors might not see her. She caught a glimpse of her sister-in-law's pleasant smile and bow to the erstwhile gossips. Agatha was always so courteous, as was James Kenmore also. Things had prospered with them, and Avis took credit to herself that she had in many shrewd ways helped her husband to his success. For one thing, she was, when there was occasion for it, both saving and a good manager. Now there was no anxiety as to money matters, but still the habit of "thrift," as some of her neighbors called it, was strong upon her. And when Agatha came to live with them, first it was a handsome set of furs that passed over to her sister-In-law—with excuses—until it had become a habit to say: "Agatha, that suit"—or hat or whatever it might be—"is almost as good as new, but you know I am getting larger all the time, and it's a little tight for me. Can't you fix it up for yourself?" Her ambition, in her youth, before the pressing cares came that took all her energies, was to become a writer. She still nursed her dream. As she was preparing to walk from the station to her brother's home, her sister-in-law's voice called: "Agatha, the auto is here to meet us. We will ride home." "Oh," responded Agatha, "I had not thought of it." Then—for she had the keenest of intuitions—"I did not know you were on the train, sister. I do not mind walking, you know." Avis' only answer was: "Agatha, in future I shall be very much hurt if you do not use the car and everything that is your brother's just exactly as if it were your own—as I do." When they reached home dinner was about ready, and it was only at bedtime that Avis knocked at her sister-in-law's door, and on being told to come in, she walked over to the big closet and said: "If you don't mind, Agatha, I want to look over your wardrobe!" "No, indeed, that's all right," replied Agatha. "You see I fixed up that pretty mauve chiffon you gave me. Isn't it pretty." Avs' reply was to take down from its hanger the dress in question, and, putting it carelessly, over her arm, she said: "Agatha, where is that old green cloth coat I handed to you several days ago." "Hanging there in the back of the closet," Agatha said, by this time somewhat mystified. That, too, was pulled from its hanger and thrown over a chair back. A hat box was opened and several hats joked the other articles of clothing that had once had former ownership. It was a flaming-cheeked woman who, throwing her arms around her astonished sister-in-law, said: "Agatha, can you forgive me for my selfish rudeness?" "Why, I have no idea what you mean, sister," was the response. "What is the matter? Has someone told you I did not like your pretty things?" "No," responded Avis, somewhat grimly, "you have not told me, but I see with the eyes of others—sometimes. In future, Agatha, when I go in to town to shop for myself you are to come with me, and whatever I get you are to have its equivalent in value. I am deeply ashamed that I ever seemed to think otherwise." Protests were of no avail, and so a happier order of things was instituted. "But my—your—pretty things!" said Agatha. "Oh, we'll go in town tomorrow and get everything new!" exclaimed Avis. "But—but—" Agatha hesitated. "I haven't time for much shopping!" "Haven't time," repeated her sister-in-law, "why of course you have time. What else have we to do?" Then Agatha Kenmore told her great secret—saying with some confusion: "Well, sister, Brother James knows that ten years ago I was about to marry Professor Caldwell. Our mother needed me, and I decided not to marry, but today, when I was coming out of the newspaper office I met the professor, and—and—" "And." Avis finished for her, "you are going to marry him, of course." NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Now Comes the "Yeoette" to Dazzle Washington WASHINGTON.—This wonderful old city is just brimful of dashing, fashing, fetching uniforms. Of course, the people who fill the uniforms catch most of the feminine eyes, but there is one uniform that rather causes the male glance to wander. Maybe it isn't the uniform, but there is something mighty attractive about the "yeoette" even to a woman. With ducky little blue coats, double breasted and brass buttoned, and white duck skirts, and a chic little white sailor hat, the yeoette certainly makes a pretty picture as she mingles with the thousand and one other uniforms on the streets of Washington.

For their losses and their honors are alike great. They go over the top with the troops, smoking thelr pipes, coolly string- ing lines behind the ad- Yancing first line so that the gun crews may be kept informed of the ad- vance or told to concen- trate thelr fire on a par- ticularly obnoxious ma- chine gun, says a writer in the New York Sun wWeisesine soction, Thay Se AMER a oy ah trae Vm e foarte | clamber out of dugouts into the slush and the freezing wind of a winter night to feel thelr way along a broken wire, sometimes over the shell-pit- ted open ground behind the trenches until they find the break, then sitting in ice water under fire ‘they repair it as carefully and skillfully as if they wéte at work in the shop at home. It often takes ‘three or four men to repair one of these breaks; the first men sent out may never come back, Repaired at all costs the wire must be, and dan- ger does not excuse a slipshod bit of work. For the signal system of the army 1s what the nerv- ous system {s to the human body. Without it the modern army covering 100 miles of front cannot see, feel or move. ‘The army com- mander wishing to move a portion of his line 50 miles away or to change the rapidity of his artll- lery fire or to recelve information of enemy move- ments Is as helpless without the slender threads of copper as he would be if he wished to move his right arm and found the nerves paralyzed. “There are still people of intelligence who think that the transmission of military thought is summed up in the use of the notebook, the orderly and his horse,” writes Brig. Gen, George P. Scriven. “But these are passing, and the trained soldier and the educated volunteer understand the vital tmpor- tance of information. “Hence the necessity for a signal corps or its equivalent, for without {ts ald modern armies can no more be controlled than can great rallway sys- tems; the commander in the field remains blind nd deaf to the events occurring around him, in- capable of maintaining touch with conditions and out of reach of his superiors or those under his au- thority upon whom he depends for the execution of his plans. The brain lacks the power to control because the nerves are lacking. “Time is the main factor in war; to arrive first with the greatest number of men and with the clearest understanding of the situation ts to suc- ceed. ‘The last, and often the first, of these condi- tions depends upon the lines of information of the army.” And these lines in turn depend upon the obscure but daring work of the repairman, the grimy, mucky, hard-fisted mechanic who crawls on his belly through shell fire calculated to appall the stoutest heart and connects the break between the commander and the point he wishes to reach, Somehow the lines are kept open all the time or are broken for only short intervals, and the con- stant tending of them has made possible in France a system of wire communication that 1s a marvel of efficiency, Indeed so perfect is it that London and Parls are in direct connection with general headquarters on the British front, which In turn is in touch with every division and brigade staff on the line, A wire could be put straight through so that Lloyd George if he wished conid hear the bursting of high explosives and shrapnel on the Amiens front. ‘This tremendous use of the telephone and tele- graph in warfare ts partly the result of the im- vetus arising from the American’ application of Gectrical communication on-a large scale in the Spanish war. The signal corps as It now exists 1s 4 comparatively recent evolution. In the American army the {doa first arose in the mind of a young army surgeon, Albert James Myer. ‘The office of signal officer of the army was created in June, 1860, the first of its kind, and ‘Myer was appointed. He was at once sent with an expedition against Navajo Indians In New Mex- eo, and his crude apparatus at once demon- strated its worth, When the Civil war began he was ordered Hast end opened a school for signalers, md tn that was the definite beginning of the present signal corps, ‘Wires were carried on horse or muleback then, the instruments were imperfect and telegraphic com- munieation was a rare and precious thing. ‘The service took on treméndous importance in the Spanish war and followed the troops through Cuba and the Philippines, and in China was the only fare eee ec sse REST eer A: erie ce hal RE ice eet me} tes tata es te pati Mice ieee es aim ieee \Wasmeeetccgmere SBMS y fin A ft Ne ES geome ei! |, Rage =4a0e s/o Neate? be |” 4 ao Bes F a i Nesom nt Ree |.) pete NY Be: Sse. tee ns it Wek ee Sm ad et) Ma i} " | aca ee i Nath Vd ig Pe Var SA est cor ee) Re Ne Sl] Se aN ®REAYURING GROKEN LIE SOLU WHERE Ill FRANCE" CS a en" Peak / Pee my: Be om |) on es, se i CVeanh |) os ONS RP ee Sah | aE RN as re.

But the tasks that confronted our signal men tn these wars were play compared to the work that is being done every day on the western front. Our signal men there have an area to cover about the size of Pennsylvania and they have gone at it with a vigor and efficiency that spell volumes for the superiority of Americans in this particular line of work, The hardy linemen who have strung lines and repaired breaks on the Western plains or battled with great floods and storms in the Rocky moun- tains have taken to this new work with a zest which, is inspiring. On the foundation of the French system they are building a signal system that will be a model of its kind, Up to within four miles of the front construc- tion is not different from whut it is here at home, ‘The wires are strung on poles and wost of the poles have been planted by the French, But when one gets inside the shell-torn section that stretches at least four miles from the front wires have to be protected by being buried from six to eight feet deep, so that only a direct hit by a large shell will disturb them, Within half a mile of the front not even this protection is sufficient, as the shells churn and re- churn the ground. ‘Therefore all wires in this zone are duplicated and are strung along both sides of the trenches. Sometimes a trench wall Is covered with wires, In the battalion headquarters signal office, where the hundreds of wires from the trenches and ob- servation posts center nnd where the recelvers hum with the constant tremors of a world under fire, plain Bil! Smich lounges in a corner rolling a cigarette and oecupled in his own particular thoughts. It is a dugout, this headquarters, and the alr is vile, but Bill got used to that long ago. “The wire to A battery is down,” Smith's su- perlor officer suys, turning to him, “All right, str,” Is the answer, And Bill climbs out of the dugout, repair kit over his arm and tin hat on his head, In the trench he finds the wire that ts broken and begins to follow it along. It Is hot work in the trench, shells are dropping thickly, but Smith doesn't mind—much. He follows the wire down a communication trench and then after a long time out into the open, where he has to crawl along looking for the hole that will mark the place where the line has been broken. He gets nearly there when a shell lands near him and Bill Smith, his face toward the break, goes west. After a time, back in the dugout, an- other repairman is sent out and perhaps he 1s luckier than Bill and finds the break. ‘Then he has to sit down in the shell crater, the smash of bursting shells s¢ close that sometimes he is half buried in dirt, calmly making the con- nection that will enable the observation officer up front to get in touch with his battery again. If he gets back to the dugout he will be sent out again and yet again if the bombardment is heavy, and often for days and nights at a time these men are under fire, snatching a nap now and then In the dugout between breaks. But they keep the lines ‘open. In an attack the sigual men go over the top with the Infantry, generally with the second wave, in charge of the observing officer. ‘They make for a point where they can establish an observation post, and as they pass on and through the enemy's barrage they unroll their line and one of them ear- ries a fleld telephone, through which they somehow manage in the din of battle to make themselves heard. ‘That telephone is lke # battle flag, and many a man goes down with {t, only to have it picked up and carried forward by another of these noncom- batant troops. ‘Their business 1s only to serve, not to fight, and they do it with a cool daring which 4s not surpassed in any branch of the service. ‘They are in the forefront of every advance and 4m the retreat are sometimes the last to leave the THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1918, ee WAR cee EO ee ' ALUERICAN LINETIED STRINGING WARES BEWIND LINES front line, where they stick to the end of thet wires under terrific shell fire until ordered to re Join thelr commands if they can get through allve. “Ap experience of this kind happened to me a short time ago in a lonely chateau of the Ypres- Menin road,” an English officer wrote home. “The chateau was the center of a perfect hell of Ger- man shrapnel for nearly a week, until it became almost untenable and was abandoned by the head- quarters staff, “The general gave instructions that a telegraph ist was to remain behind to transmit important messages from the brigades, and I was left in charge of the instruments in this shell-swept chateau for a day and a night. “On the second day the Germans broke through our trenches and-the wires were cut by the shell fire. I was given orders to evacuate the building and smash up my instruments. ‘These I saved by burying in a shellproof trench, and then I had to escape between our own fire and that of the enemy's across a fleld under a terrible tornado of shrapnel, “On the early morning of the same day one of our cable detachments was cut up and another captured by the Germans, only to be retaken by our sappers and drivers after a desperate and glorious fight." The linemen also have regular patrols, stretches of line which have to be constantly examined not only for breaks but also to make sure that they have not been tapped by enemy spies in such a way that every bit of information sent over them finds its way to the Germans. In the Alsne once, where the hill country offered good cover to sples, the wires were constantly being tapped. One day a lineman passing along the road no- ticed a lot of cable lying at one side, He started to coil {t up and found that a piece of wire had been tied to the main line. When he traced it he found that it ran to a haystack. He went on, tapped the line and sent in word to headquarters and an armed escort found a spy hidden in the hay with several days’ supply of food. ‘They are autocrats in their way, these wire re- pairmen, and no one is permitted to interfere with the swift execution of their work. Word coming over the line that the wire to a battery was re- paired is often the sweetest sound in the world to an observation officer up front, even if It comes tn a rough brogue which French weather has not im- proved, So when anybody else breaks in on the line and interferes with the repairman he gets roiled, es- pecially if he has been sitting for several hours in a shell hole with an ley rain dripping down his back. An English officer told of what happened to @ general who broke in once. “A general came in the hut and told me ‘I rang up the telephone just now and said, “Give me the — brigade, please,” but some one with a loud voice replied deliberately nnd distinctly: "Get off the blinking Une.” I got off remarking that as soon as convenient 1 should like to speak. I apologized and explained that the line had been down and was being repaired, He went off with a merry twinkle in his eye." As the number of men in the American army abroad grows with the weeks, the number of line- men, those who make possible all that the artil- lery and Infantry together accomplish, will stead- fly inevease until they are a small army In them- selves. And probably tt will not be loug before an- nouncement will be made that some plain Bill ‘Smith, wire repairman, has been given a medal for bravery under fire, which attracted attention even among the hundreds of brave acts which these men perform every day, IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAR (By REV.

In the early morning, after the mock trial before the high priest, they bound Jesus and delivered him to Pilate. They act freely in this according to the evil desires of their own hearts, 11, Jesus Crowned With Thorns (vv. 16-29). Knowing that Jesus had been con- demned for claiming to be Israel's king, they in mockery crown him with A wreath of thorns, and salute him “King of the Jews.” Not only this, but they smote him on the head and spit upon him and went through a process of mock worship. ‘The crown of thorns typifies the curse which he bore for man's sin. Hl, Jesus Crucified (vv. 21-41), 1, Led away to the place of crucifix fon (vy. 21-23), At first they compelled him to bear his own cross, but when physical weak- ness made this impossible, they com- pelled Simon the Cyrenian to bear it for him, It is beautiful to note that the son of this Cyrenian who bore the cross of Jesus came to believe on him (Romans 16:13). Because of the scourging and cruel indignities heaped upon him, they actually were obliged to bear him to Golgotha, His face was marked by the thorns and cruel blows, so that there was “no form or comelt- ness” (Isa. 58:2). All this he endure¢ for us. He drank this bitter eup to its very dregs and refused to drink the “wine mingled with myrrh," which would have deadened his pain. He went all the way in his sufferings, 2, Gambling for the clothing of the Lord (vv. 24, 25). Having nailed him to the cross they gambled for the seamless robe under the very cross where he was dying, and in their heartless cruelty they sat down to watch him die (Matt, 27:36), 3. The superscription (y. 26). It was customary to place over the victim on the Cross the name and crime of the offender. Though Pilate did this in mockery to vex the Jews, the title was absolutely true, He was indeed their King. They had long looked for him, and now when he eame they crucified him. Though he wore a crown of thorns fn derision, he will come again wearing a crown of glory, and before him all shail bow, God hasten the day! : 4.

The dying Savior reviled (vv. 20- 82). This reviling was engaged in by the passers-by, the chief priests and the thieves who were crucified with him. In this nameless agony and shame they taunted him by bidding him come down from the cross, and de- risively saying, “He saved others, him- self he cannot save.” They uncon- sciously uttered a great truth. He could not save himself and others, so he chose to die to save others. Halle lujah, what a Saviour! 6. Darkness upon the land (vy. 83), ‘This was at noonday.

Tust as many lovely brides grace just as many beautiful bridal processions this June as in Junes gone by—and the Joy they radiate 1s more than ever welcome, No one expects the bride to curtall any of her privileges on her great day. It comes but once in a life: time afd she Is entitled to make the most of {t. The pomp and circumstance of war is not to be compared to it, Sootty countenances the pretty ex- travagances of the wedding pageant and styles play Into the hands of those who plen them, Malines and georgette crepe make the more than ever ple- turesque hats for bridesmaids, Some of these have yells of malines extend- ed Sato scarfs that swathe the throat and partly cover the face. Special thought has been bestowed on the ma- tron of honor—the most dignified mil- linery featuring her position, In a procession where there were two flower girls, small soft hats of narrow, val lace, trimmed with little rose buds were allowed them. In this company the matron of honor wore a wide- brimmed hat of sand-coloréd maiines and pule-gold lace, with a full short mantle of malines to match with collar of gold lace. ‘The bridesmatds rejoiced in wide hats of pink georgette crepe with big, soft popples made of the same material, set about the crown, For brides who decide against the conyentional white satin and long yell, pretty hats of white malines and small white flowers have been provided with in collars, Tn the combinations of silic and wool the body of the coat—that portion about the shoulder and sleeve —is of the silk, often extended below the waist, forming 2 long waist effect. Collars—which are ample—are of the velours and euffs to mateh them, Those Who are looking for something:,new might consider the silk Jersey or woo8 and jersey combinations, Pongee, like taffeta, we have always with us in aristocratic coats.
