Walker, "Black Spurgeon," Holdin vices for the St. Stephen An Old Fashioned Southern Sou Under a Tent at 12th and THOUSANDS ATTEND; MAY When John D. Rockefeller, ex-President William Howard Taft, and other notable Americans go down to Augusta, Ga., for a vacation or a rest, the services they invariably attend on Sunday mornings are conducted by one of the greatest preachers in this country, the Rev. Dr. C. T. Walker. His preaching is so powerful and pleasing that wherever he goes thousands upon thousands must hear him. He is in Kansas City now for a ten days' revival, being conducted by the St. Stephens Baptist church, of which the energetic, progressive and popular Rev. Dr. Hurse is pastor. "The Black Spurgeon," as he is commonly known, arrived in this city Thursday night week, and without waiting for rest or recreation entered the meeting under the big tent at 12th street and Michigan avenue, to immediately begin his sermo nf from Matt. 8: 7, "I Will Come and Heal Him." Though the crowd overflowed into the street the audience gave perfect attention to a message that was powerful and soul-stirring. The Friday night meeting was larger than the previous night and six persons were converted. At the Sunday meetings, it is estimated, more than two thousand persons attended in the morning and at night. Six more wer added to the number of converts, and the spirit of the meeting mounted higher and higher, and on Monday night the great evangelist's efforts proved of supreme force when one of Kansas City's oldest citizens, a professed gambler, came forward, and after making an open confession to having led many young men to become gamblers and lead a destructive life, accepted Christ and joined the church. The subsequent meetings have been as fruitful of results, of which the Rev. Mr. Walker expressed his satisfaction. In an interview with him he seemed indeed highly pleased that a larger proportion of the converts at this meeting are men, and "young men of intelligence, who can be of great service to the race, and whom we are in great need of at this time," as Dr. Walker himself said. He also praised the people of Kansas City and the advantages of the open meeting. Dr. Walker is not only a minister, but a great orator, and has been ap- COLORFD'SOLDIERS AGAIN ON FRONT PAGE OF WAR NEWS. Color Sergeant Under Fire From Enemy Planes Refuses to Lie Down And Let the American Flag Touch the Ground. Negro soldiers "Somewhere in France" have again moved up to the first page in the war news. This time the distinction goes to the color sergeant of a regiment. The report tells of the Colored men being shelled by enemy planes while they were on the march over shell-marked roads in France. The colonel sensed the situation, and ordered that the men should get off the road and lie flat on the ground. "Fall out! Take cover!" went down the line. The well trained soldiers scattered like a convey of quail, and a minute later there was no target left for the swooping hawks, for the road was clear and the men were scattered khaki dots against the gray earth. The road was clear for all but one man. Erect in his place, calmly holding the flag high and steady against the breeze, was the color bearer. "Did you hear the order to lie down?" a lieutenant asked. The Kansas City Sun pointed by the War Department to membership in the Speakers' Bureau. He has delivered patriotic addresses in many of the large cities on "The Nation's Call to Service, and the Black Man's Answer," and similar subjects. He spoke at the patriotic mass meeting in Chicago with Kelly Miller, and at which Colonel Roosevelt would have spoken but for his illness in the hospital at that time; at Carnegie hall, New York; at the New England Baptist convention, Asbury Park, New Jersey, and to men at the following camps: Grant, Lee, Gordon and at Columbia, S. C. Asked as to the Negro in general and particularly of the Negro soldier, he said of our people: "They are giving a good account of themselves everywhere. In the South the write people are co-operating with us as never before, and so far everything has gone along harmoniously. We expect these conditions to continue. The Negro is working along patriotic lines, doing his part in the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and Liberty Loan campaigns, and is buying War Savings and Thrift Stamps." Referring to the soldier: "I find that the papers in America are not very fair and are not doin gtheir duty in speaking complimentary of the Negro soldiers. Only a few papers refer to the Colored soldiers as they should do. I did notice that the Chicago Tribune and perhaps one or two other papers spoke of the Colored soldiers used in guarding German prisoners. Very few of the papers published account of the Colored troops capturing one of the forests the other day. They rarely say anything about the 500,000 French soldiers who come from among the Senegalise, Turcos and Congos." St. Stephens and its pastor are proud to have the distinguished prelate with them, and are making big preparations for the Sunday services. Dr. Walker will preach at both the morning and evening services, and at 3 o'clock in the afternoon will deliver his splendid address on the Negro in the war. Admission is free to all services, and all pastors are invited to bring their congregations. After Dr. Walker shall have finished his ten days here the camp meeting will be completed by the Rev. R. B. Porter of Little Rock, Ark. "Yes, sir," quite respectfully, "but while I can stand up, I don't never mean to let this flag touch the dirt." The colonel heard and he did not need to stop and ponder. "Let him stay where he is," he said. So the circus flew past and disappeared and the flag flapped high and clear, unharmed. Then the regiment reformed, and plodded on down the muddy road to meet their new comrades in arms, and to do their work.—St. Louis Argus. COLORED SOLDIER USES DOWN HOME TACTICS IN FRANCE. With the American Army in France.—A wise Alabama Colored soldier in an organization with the French troops used a novel means to capture German dogs employed to carry dispatches to the front line from the enemy rear posts. The soldier got leave to go hunting and killed a fox. Then he crept across "No Man's Land" at night and dragged the fox back along the ground from the German trenches. The following day six German messenger dogs came bounding into the American trenches. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1918. Colored People Buy Stamps Colored People Buy Stamps Negroes are asked to buy Thrift Stamps in both large and small quantities and thus prove by their constant and consistent interest in the welfare of their Government that they are its most loyal people. We cannot do this unless we meet every imposed duty with an active intelligence, a fine spirit of never-flagging patriotism. We must never, in this war period, become weary of well-doing. Ours, like others, is to go forward with every move of the Country's program to win the war and we should remember that our special interest is wrapped up in the fate of the awful conflict across the waters. It is not enough that we have met every demand made upon us thus far with a manly effort and response. We must go ahead and keep on going to the end which we hope is victory for AMERICA and therefore for US. The first, second and third Liberty Loans in which we played well our part in shouldering the enormous tasks was merely introductory to a larger duty. We are now to BUY THRIFT STAMPS as a constant work which is essential to offset the equally constant drain on war resources which would soon suffer depletion under gruelling expenditure. Though we do our greatest duty when as Draftees we enter willingly into the ranks of training and become an important part of the vast fighting machine which is now driving away on the firing lines in France we have not done our whole duty at home until we meet every requirement urged upon us by stern necessity. This necessity comes now in the shape of THRIFT STAMPS which we are to buy "until it hurts" that our soldiers, black and white, may have some comforts of life at least as they go down to death—for us! Great God! And this is the limit, they cannot do more! They have reached the apex of their glory! The Supreme Sacrifice and the things we do for them to aid this noble work of theirs seem disparaging by comparison—it all seems too little and tardy. Then we will not be slackers in buying those Thrift Stamps. We are duty bound to buy all we can. Every stamp bought is a step to victory. You are helping your Government to help and protect you. The transaction that takes place through the sale of even one 25-cent stamp has a world-wide meaning. Kansas City Negroes must buy these stamps now! We can not fall behind in this particular work after having such a great showing in the Liberty Loan Campaigns and Red Cross Work. Our efforts in the past elicited praise from the Kansas City Journal and even the Star. We cannot prove slackers in this move and the moves to come. We must be ready and willing at all times to demonstrate our Nationalism in every locality by meeting every responsibility in a signal way.

Although the custom is common in European countries, this is the first time that any man has been so honored in this country.

Owens, a Cultured and Very Capable Young Woman, Is Now Calling Upon All Those Who Have Not Responded to the Notices Sent Out. Be Loyal, Pay Your Pledges and Watch for the Announcement of the Grand Opening. During the past week quite a few persons have paid their pledges in Full to the Wheatley-Provident Hospital Campaign Committee and a number of others have made partial payments on their pledges. The building is rapidly nearing completion and the only embarrassment is the lack of funds to meet the various bills coming due. Every person who pledged a contribution to the building fund should pay it at once and enable the Committee to proceed with the work to its final completion without interruption. After the 1st of July 6 per cent interest under the provisions of the pledge blank signed will be added to all unpaid pledges and it is sincerely hoped that all pledges remaining unpaid will have been paid by that time. Among the large pledges paid this week was one of $100 from Dr. William J. Thompkins, Superintendent of Old City Hospital, $50.00 from Dr. McQueen Carrion, Kansas City's foremost dentist, and $25.00 from Prof. and Mrs. R. T. Coles. The full list of complete payments made during the week are as follows: $100.00— Dr. William J. Thompkins. $50.00— Dr. McQueen Carrion. $25.00— Prof. and Mrs. R. T. Coles. $10.00— J. W. Smith.

OFFICERS' SCHOOL NOW CAMP PIKE, ARK. Camp Dodge, Ia., June 18.—By a War Department order, the entire Officers' Training School of the 92d Division was transferred from here to Camp Pike, Little Rock, Ark. Among the New York boys attending the school are: Harold E. Simmelkjaer, Stanley Miles, Errol Horne, Earl Pugsley, William Pogue, James W. Brown, James Hinton and Timothy Pleasant. These boys are all well known in Harlem, especially Simmelkjaer, who, before entering the service of Uncle Sam was engaged in civic activities there.

New York Congressman in Spain Gets Appeal of Ex-Champion Heavyweight But is Turned Down by Adjutant General. Washington, June 18.—Jack Johnson, the Colored American pugilist, who is now living in Madrid, wants to enlist to fight in the United States Army, Congressman E. H. La Guardia, representing New York, and who saw and talked with Johnson recently when he was in Madrid on an inspection trip, has received a letter from Johnson tendering his services. In his letter to the congressman, Johnson said: "After my talk with you yesterday it occurred to me to ask you to use your good offices in my behalf. I am as good an American as any one living, and naturally I want to do my bit. I firmly believe I wasn't fairly treated at home. All I ask now is a chance to show my sincerity. America is my own country. There is no position you could for me that I would consider too rough or too dangerous. I am willing to fight and die for my own country. I cannot offer any more. Will you kindly make my offer known to the proper authorities? I am anxiously awaiting a reply." Congressman La Guardia referred the Colored pugilist and ex-champion of the world, to the Adjutant General's office here. The Adjutant General is a Southerner, entertaining the old South's preconceived ideas respecting the race, and to which marriage or association of a Colored man with a white woman is an unforgiven sin and the blackest of crimes. It is stated that when officials heard of it they promptly declared an application from Jack to enter the army would not be approved, so Jack's patriotic desire to serve his country must go unrealized. If Jack should make the way to France and enlist, unknown, under an assumed name, as thousands did in the Civil war, and which, doubtless hundreds have done in this war, and should win the Croix de Guerre, as did Johnson and Roberts, for some dashing heroic deed, it is possible his "indiscretions of youth" would be overlooked, and the United States might extend the exile a welcome back home again—New York News. THREE BIG MEETINGS OF IMPOR TANCE CALLED. The New Knights of Pythias Lodge Is Nearing Organization. The unprecedented activity of the Knights of Pythias in the State of Missouri in their campaign for one thousand new members has necessitated the return to the city of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd. The enthusiasm that is at fever heat throughout the State is no less in Kansas City and the drive has been a very successful one, the consequence of which a new lodge (which will bring the number to twelve) will be organized Saturday night, July 6th. Two previous meetings are called, the first one for Sunday afternoon, June 30th, at 3 o'clock, and the second Wednesday night, July 3rd, at 8:00 o'clock. Each member of the Pythian Club is earnestly requested to be out to each of these meetings, which are of very great importance, being preparatory to the organization which takes place at the third and last meeting on the night of July 6th. The splendid accomplishment of the organization of a new lodge in Kansas City with such an unusual large number of candidates shows that Kansas City, in this movement, as in all good movements started for the good of our people, is thoroughly wideawake. In keeping with the regular custom at organizations, all candidates will bring their baskets well filled with goo dthings to eat, as they will on this closing night, July 6th. Show all of the lodges west of the Mississippi River what it is to perfect a good big organization, and in other words, really how to "Go Over the Top." Any information sought concerning the new Pythian Club and its organization will be gladly furnished by Grand Chancellor Llyd, who_can be reached over the Bell phone by calling East 1795W. We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions. Why not advertise what you have to rent or sellin thispaper which reaches all the colored people in greater Kansas City? PRICE, 5c. PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION. The Negroes of the city have been invited and will take part in the great International Celebration to be held July 4 at Swope Park in honor of the splendid American boys "Over There." Over 100,000 people are expected to witness this inspiring pageant which will be participated in by the Seventh Regiment, National Guards, the Boy Scouts, High School Cadets and other civic and military bodies, while all the Allied Nations will be represented with handsomely decorated booths. The Negro booth will be in charge of the ladies of the Federated Clubs of Kansas City, Missouri, and the arrangements are being made under the direction of Mrs. A. E. Jenkins, president of the Federation, assisted by Mesdames E. C. Bunch, C. H. Callow, W. J. Thompkins and others. Dr. William J. Thompkins, superintendent of the City Hospital for Colored people, is chairman of the General Committee of Arrangements for the Colored people of the city, and is bending every energy to see that a most gratifying and satisfactory showing is made on the part of our people. Mr. Nelson C. Crews, who has just returned from Washington, where he had a conference with the members of the Council of Defense, will at 8 o'clock deliver the address on behalf of the Negro people, while for forty minutes the Roland Hayes Choral Society of 600 voices under the direction of Major N. Clark Smith, will render folk-lore songs and choruses with special settings. The booths will represent every Nation associated with the Allies in the Constitution of the war and each will present some typical feature of the race and country represented. The call for this great demonstration come direct from the President of the United States to demonstrate to the world that all the Allied Nations and races are harmonious and united in the one common call—the winning of the war. Judge John T. Atwood, the West's great orator, will deliver the principal address at 4 p.m., and all Nations represented will be grouped under their own flag and The Sun is authorized to announce there will be NO DISCRIMINATION AMONG AMERICANS—ALL COME! Twenty thousand Negroes are expected to attend this glorious National Celebration. COMMUNITY CHORUS NOTICE. All former choirs who joined in the "Sing" last December at Convention Hall with Mr. Rowland W. Haynes in recital, will meet at Lincoln High School Assembly Room next Wednesday evening, July 3rd, at 8 p. m., for final rehearsal. Please bring your copies of "Listen to the Lambs" and "Steal Away to Jesus," anthems, and join with our orchestra. Every colored musician in the city should take this opportunity to demonstrate our ability to render this music in the same satisfactory manner as you did on the above occasion. One hundred thousand people of all races are expected to hear us. Respectfully yours, N.CLARK SMITH, Musical Director. COLORED MAN TURKEY FOR RED CROSS. Palestine, Texas.—Jim Boyd is the proudest Negro in this county, and he has god reasons to be. Boyd is a great turkey grower, and several days ago gave one of his prize turkeys to the Red Cross. It was auctioned off at Frankston and brought $255, and given back to the Red Cross. Last Saturday the turkey was carried to Poyner and netted $333 from an auction, and was given back to the Red Cross. It will be taken at Athens next Saturday, and the following Saturday will be brought to Palestine and auctioned off here. It is believed the turkey will bring the Red Cross over $1,000.—Detroit Leader. Now that our old friend, Nick Childs, of the Plaindealer, has gotten it out of his system, there is a possibility that he will again be happy, but he must remember that the Young Ladies of The Sun office deeply resent his allegations, and they are going to pull his hair by the handful (if he has that much left) when he next visits The Sun office.

The Women's Mite Missionary Society held their regular monthly meeting on the 16th and furnished a program for the regular evening service. The program was not up to the standard usually given the public on such occasions. Missionary programs should endeavor to inculcate a spirit for missions, produce missionary facts, give information of missionary workers and their many sacrifices for this greatest of God's work. The field of Missions in the A. M. E. Church is a vast workshop stored with valuable information. Dig it up and let the people know it. A telegram from Al Marshall gives the information that he has sailed from some port in America for some place "over there." Beginning about the 15th of July, Rev. Martin will start a series of meetings, assisted by Miss Ida Myller of Indianapolis, Ind. Nothing doing on June brides.

The entertainment and dinner given by the Senior Choir on the 19th was quite a success. The drill by the little ones was equal to any we have seen. Mrs. Lowrey has earned a well merited reputation in training the young people and their splendid performance gives evidence of her tact and patience in dealing with them. Lee's orchestra was called to Winston on the 22d to play for a dance given in honor of several Winstonians who have been called into service. Unity Lodge, A. F. and A. M., installed their officers on the evening of the 19th. On the 23d Rev. Martin preached their annual sermon. Lawrence Howard was the real champion of the twelfth annual track meet of the grade departments of the public school held on the campus of the high school during the closing week of the schools. Howard took first prizes in the following unlimited events, three contesting: 100-yard dash, 220-yard dash, ' javelin throw, shot put, discuss throw, and running broad jump. In the Junior events his brother, Norman, bagged two second prizes: 100-yard dash and 220-yard dash. The colored boy, like his ancestors, fought nobly. In a letter from Mrs. F. Williams, formerly Mrs. Warfield, written June 5th, gave information of the serious illness of Rev. J. P. Watson, at one time pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church. The letter intimated there was hardly a chance of his recovery. The Busy Bee Club met with Mrs. Callie Mathews last week. The political pot begins to boil. Senators are to be elected.

The poular Auditorium Theatre as Ninth and Holmes street is to become the home of burlesque and musical comedy, under the management of Mr. Lee Chandler, whose stock company of American Ginger Girls is well known to a large percentage of local showgoers. The company broadened to thirty people—mostly girls, and the prettiest, girliest girlies you ever saw, too—will give its first performance in its new home next Saturday night. Mr. Chandler, who is an "old hear" at the show business, has set about to make the Auditorium a real family theatre and is sparing no pains or expense to this end. The same class and style of musical comedy and burlesque as the wheel shows in the Twelfth street houses will be presented and poular prices are to prevail. The colored people will be given the entire first balcony, which has spacious seats and, is well ventilated. Those desiring cheaper seats may obtain tickets for the upper balcony. Entrance to the two balconies is to be made through the Holmes street lobby only, where usher and program service is same as the lower floor. Five colored girls have been employed as ushers, two for the balcony and three for the main floor. IS WHITE SUPREME? By Chas. A. Starks. The other fellow has merely sought to standardize the arts for himself on an exclusive white Caucasian basis. (to him) White with all its attendants is supreme, good and beautiful. But we are bold enough to say that Nature beat this fellow to it in the matter of primal causes and effects regarding color and solemnly made this decree: What is natural is good and what is natural is beautiful, what is naturally beautiful is artistic and artists, students of nature count themselves fortunate if, indeed, they can copy from this natural beauty its glorious message to man. To be entirely truthful we must acknowledge that upon this ability hang all the laws and the prophets of the Fine Arts. In art the color "Red" typifies or expresses life. Now White being far removed from red why not try finding the expression of the Real in colors running in darker trends? Bing! We asked a pertinent question then. We know the Earth is largely red and black. Now come on up from this ground work and build your super structures of Art. Mix these native colors in your composite scheme remembering Red for Life and Black for Richness and you will produce something of which Nature herself will approve and declare: "You are my student, you see me with an honest appreciative eye, I will further Bless the O My Son." Baneful Psychology. I would try to get Negroes every now and then to scrutinize this vari-shaded hue of theirs. Turn your eyes on yourself and a little comparative psychology. I probably should explain here what I am trying to say. First, Psychology—a study both of the objective mind (rather a bookish term, I admit) and after you have reached conclusions for yourself regarding yourself as to color and its portrait then compare your conclusions with those the "other fellow" has imposed upon you regarding your own. He has fooled us and himself with this false deduction: White—Superior—Enlightened—Truth Black—Inferior—Ignorant—Evil. And he has tried his best to make it stick! But why call this psychology? Some may ask. Our answer: Because this thought has certainly had a wonderful psychological effect upon our Race inasmuch as asder its sinister influence we have been made to feel that Black was actually dishonorable and White was supreme. It was all a matter of subjecting one mind to another to a thought power which was both depressive and oppressive. We believe this comes under the heading of psychology. But Nature denies, sternly, the false deduction that White is supreme. The whole earth speaks in the darker colors and whatever is responsible for the propagation of colors of races it certainly runs in dark because the darker people number about five to seven in this world. * Now here is a fact I want my people to turn over in their minds for pureley psychological (that word again) reasons. This will at least serve to imbue you with the idea that you are a unit identified with a kind who predominates the world in the matter of numerical strength. Here you have the primitive and the majority of kind. If five sevenths of mankind are colored, surely there is no ground for the other two-sevenths to point the finger of scorn in our direction on account of color. To the Negro we say that you are closer to Nature than any other race upon the globe. What is natural is beautiful, God, the Creator, saw in His Creator all good. With this truth in mind now look into the next few Colored faces you run across and see if Nature does not speak: They have tried to make us ashamed of our color, but let us examine ourselves closely. We have the triple shades of Dark—Brown and Black, as we have stated, has its chief charm in richness and a certain instinctiveness, call it solidity if you like. The sable purity of the dark skin is what lead Solomon to say this: "I Am Black, but Comely." Brown. And thou, too. Brown. So soft and soothing. There is never the least harshness in this color. Here is a shade which is so mellow that it not only 'delights but seems to rest the eyes with a matchless charm. Brown biscuits and fried pork chops are not unlike the shade I speak of, and this in our women (I certainly wouldn't waste any time or space studying colors of men.) has provided a classic type which we acknowledge shame-facedly when we should rather do so boldly and with art. "Browns," aside from a few songs, chiefly "Blues," we are making little progress toward doing this manifestation of beauty in our Race Justice in painting and poetry. Some day a great painter with an eye for originality and an appreciation for real native color will succeed in immortalizing "A Study in Brown." Gold (yellow) is pleasant to look upon. There is no color strikes the emotions with the same degree of pleasure and appreciation as Gold does. Gold is yellow, yellow is golden. But according to our white students there must be two kinds of "yellow." For instance, previous to the Johnson-Jeffries fight at Reno on that memorable Fourth of July, they speculated on the probable "yellow streak" that Johnson would discover upon facing Jeffries the mighty descendant of "Cliff Dwellers," and so on. The final event, however, proved that this "yellow" was on the opposite side from our Black hero. Johnson evidently has "yellow" in his heart but this was of the hundred per cent variety. Then it appears that to be all yellow, all gold, is a good thing. Yellow in truth is Gold. The best age is the Golden age. The sun is golden in its wonted glory. The Chinese are a yellow people, golden faced, and are aptly termed celestials. The yellow gold taken from the earth sets the money standard of the world. Strange! Yellow becomes so cheap and inferior when manifested in American Negroes! I do not think so. As I love yellow ears of corn, yellow in the sun and moon, yellow in the golden candle stick, so do I love yellow as it enhances the charm in our women (bold think to say, was it not?). This much, I'm not going to allow the other fellow to love and admire yellow in everything until he gets to my race then affect to despise it or call it something inferior. BOSTON PIANIST OPENS STUDIO IN KANSAS CITY. The Sun takes great pleasure in announcing that Mr. Clyde L. Glass, Concert Pianist and Teacher, will open a studio in Kansas City. This young artist is a pianist of national reputation coming from that famed institution. "The New England Conservatory of Music." Mr. Glass has appeared of this country and his masterful play-in many of the leading music centers has won for him the praise of the critics. As a teacher Mr. Glass is having no less success for he is a firm believer in the fact that success is attained only through hard work. From his extensive study Mr. Glass is well prepared to accept advanced pupils. I refute the assertion that yellow stands for inferior and, and instead, I claim that yellow stands for Gold, and gold is a high standard. Note:—It has occurred to me that writing with a certain warmth the reader might misconstrue the spirit in which this article is composed and they may be inclined to imbue me with a certain favoritism on account of my own color, for this reason I state that I am not "yellow" by a long margin. Although my mother was a near white woman, my father was practically a Black man, and I am hence very much Brown. So you see there is no species of vanity that would naturally appeal to me (even if I was given such) unless I might express myself in an old song, popular among us, namely: "I'm So Glad I'm Brown Skin." For terms, address Clyde L. Glass, Troy Hall, 2400 The Paseo, Bell Phone Grand 1766 W. Color Should Not Supersede Character Now we see the importance of getting things right. We have been camouflaged by the false psychologists for a couple of centuries and we are still being bumfuzzled to an extent. But let us set our own standards of beauty. We have the material, let us acquire the Art. Let us valuate our own to the highest. Let us assume that we are the people, but let us be careful that while we are fighting the standard of White as antagonistic to Black, Brown and Gold, we do not let the various shades among us supersede character. For if shades offer an outward distinction it is always character that qualifies in Art and Truth. The intelligence in thy face, O Man, is thy Beauty.

MO., U. S. A. I believe, as a people, that we have the finest spirit in the world to harmonize and blend the various hues of our Race with freedom.

As the Negroes were speeding along a team and wagon suddenly showed up ahead of them and the driver of the car threw on the brakes and turned the machine to the side of the road so quickly that it turned over. No one was hurt but the car was badly battered. The machine bore a Nebraska license tag and the Negroes wore diamonds or what resembled them, enough to buy two or three cars like the one they were driving.—Liberty Advance.

Weocuhne eae are members of congress dying off so fast? The faortality rate in both the senate and the house has recently Increased so remarkably that the capitol statesmen are apprehensively searching for the They do not dissipate. They are not devotees of the cabaret, and, though Washington is now dry, they seldom go to Baltimore. Congressman Arthur W. Overmyer of Ohio has come to the conclusion, from personal observation, that the real answer is worry and overwork, A member of congress Is always a busy man, if ne consclentiously looks after the business of his district, but when a war comes along his work is multiplied and magnified, The strain is intensified and the weight of cares often becomes perilously oppressive. Overmyer is an active and robust man. He is still less than forty years old and has nothing the appearance of a corpse, but he has felt the increasing stress of work and, being up to date, has made an efficiency survey of his own time for one week. The result is set forth in the following letter to a friend: “For a number of months I have been wondering where all my time went, the days always being too short to accomplish what had to’ be done, I knew I was busy, but wondered if I was not wasting time somewhere by lack of system or something. So I determined to keep an account of my time and what I did from a certain Monday morning to the following Saturday night, and at the end of the week found I had put fn 76 hours of work.” Flag Made for Tuscania Burial Placed in Museum .. WILSON has deposited in the United States National museum a flag which will excite in the hearts of the people feelings of the deepest gratitude toward our allies. It is the United States flag used at the burial of after the disaster of the Tuscania, was asked by Hugh Morrison, the Scotch landowner at whose residence, Islay House, the flag was made, to send this in- teresting relic to President Wilson with the request that it be placed in some museum or Institution to be selected by him, Mr. Morvison took a prominent part in the Tuscania relief work and donated the land for two cemeteries in which American soldiers now lie. ‘The flag, 37 by 67 inches in size, shows plainly by its workmanship that it is hand made. It was transmitted to the president by Melville E, Stone, general manager of the Associated Press, and has been placed on exhibition in the entrance hall of the older museum building, where are displayed many priceless relics of American heroes of former wars. It is accompanied by three photographs, one of the group of five makers of the flag, one of Hugh Morrison, and one of Colin Campbell of Port Ellen, who provided clothing and did everything possible to make comfortable the American survivors from the Tuscania who landed at Port Ellen on the Mull of Oa, District Is Doing Its Duty in Housing Workers T HAT Washington is going to do more than was expected of it in housing the government's war workers is indicated by the fact that the room registra- tion office of the District council of defense has hundreds of more rooms Listed who has a room available, however, should fail to list it because of the knowl- edge that the registration office is at present keeping pace with the demand. It is understood that Otto M. Bidlitz, who has charge of the government's bullding program, is expecting the homes of Washington to provide for a large proportion of the 20,000 or more workers who are expected to come here dur ing the remainder of this year. ‘The first dormitories to be erected will have a total capacity of 5,000. ‘Accommodations for several thousand more may be built later. The Maltby ullding near the capitol will be remodeled after the terms of the housing bill and several large residential properties in the northwest now used for govern- ment offices are expected to be vacated for the use of the housing bureau as goon as new temporary office structures on the Mall are ready for occupancy. In spite of the new dormitories and the remodeling of the Maltby building ‘and other large buildings now used as offices, officials of the housing bureau of the department of labor expect the room registration office to find accommoda- tlons for possibly more than 5,000 war workers, in addition to the large num ber that already has been placed by that office, y, Mr. Burleson Promptly Restored Old John’s Salary HERE is,an old colored messenger in the post office department building on T the southwest corner of Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue.

No Washinetonian THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1918. IMAu EX i thekings PN eg ae NA JF (og es wer ae * ar: less One of the Older Streets of Lima. OMPARATIVELY few foreign- ers see Interior regions of Peru today; but a majority of those who voyage up and down the Pacific pay brief visits to Lima, the City of the Kings. It is located In an undulating valley which extends In- land from the ocean for 50 miles or more to the foothills of the Andes, al- though numerous mountain spurs rise here and there about the valley, two of which, San Cristobal and San Jeron- imé, dominate the city of Lima, Through this valley the River Rimac winds its way to the sea at Callao, starting from rivulets at least 17,000 feet high amid the eternal snows of the mountains. Nearly four centuries have passed since Pizarro laid the foundation stones of the eathedral on a central plaza known today as Plaza Mayor, Around and in the vicinity of this level area the new capital began to grow. Pizarro’s idea, according to historians, was to found a capital more easily accessible than the cities con- structed by the Incas and their pre- decessors, who builded far inland and in localities difficult to reach. The Rimac flows directly through Lima, the larger clty development be- Ing on the southern side of the stream, writes William A. Reid in the Bulletin of the Pan-American Union, The lat- ter Is spanned by several bridges over which passes a constant traffic. Lima, with its 200,000 popniation today, has been a long time growing to present proportions. In shape the city was originally more or less that of a giant triangle, the hypotenuse of which was formed by the Rimac, Pizarro be- stowed the name of City of the Kings upon the place as a token of honor on behalf of his royal benefactors; but gradually the native title seems to ‘have become more and more popular. ‘The name Lima is derived from that of the river, the legendary word Rinac meaning “one who speaks.” Historical Plaza Mayor. /_ It you go sightseeing in Lima the start should be made from the Plaza Mayor, a section of the city from which every kind of activity radiates today as in the past.

On one side of this plaza stands the massive cathedral with its twin towers, the foundation stones of which Pizarrc himself is credited with laying.

Famous Torre-Tagle Mansion. A majority of the older residences of Lima are the typical one-story strue- tures, and usually a court is one of the leading features. Opening on this court are the various living, sleeping, and other apartments; while the court itself 1s adorned with growing plants, flowers, and often 1 small tree or two. Birds, parrots, and other pets are also numerous. Barred windows and bat conies are always In evidence. Many Lima homes of the better J classes are two-story structures, and in such cases the balcony overhanging the street offers the family a fine point from which to view the life of the street when tired of the courtyard and Its seclusion. One of the finest types of this home is the famous Torre-Tagle mansion. Almost « fortress in appenr- ance as one enters the great stone wall leading from the street, but when with- in the courtyards (there are several), the outer doors closed, a veritable and secluded palace presents itsel? with ‘enough luxurious surroundings to make even a king envious. It was built in the days of the viceroys and nothing seems to have been forgotten as re- gards comfort and convenience of those early times, even to the private chapel opening on one of the courts. ‘The carved mahogany balconies overlook: Ing the street are also works of art and patient toil.

Consternation In Treetops When Gib- bons Are Assailed—Travel Faster Through Trees Than Man Can Run on Ground. Our most exciting sport at the Nam- ting camp was hunting monkeys, writes Roy Chapman Andrews in Har- ber’s, Every morning we heard quer- ulous notes, sounding much like the squealing of very young pupples, which were followed by long drawn siren wails, When the shrill notes had renched their highest pitch they would sink Into low, full tones exceed- ingly musical, We were Inspecting a line of traps placed along a trail which led up a val- ley to a wide plateau when the quer- ulous squealing abruptly ceased, We moved on, alert and tense. ‘The trees stretched upward a full 150 feet, their tops spread out in a leafy reof. In the topmost branches of one we could just discern a dozen balls of yellow fur from which proceeded discordant walls. It was a long range for a shotgun, but the rifles were all in camp. I fired a charge of “BB's” at the lowest mon- key and as the gun roared out the treetops suddenly sprang into life. ‘They were filled with running, leaping, hairy forms swinging at incredible speed from branch to branch—not a dozen, but n score of monkeys, yellow, brown and gray. ‘The one at which T had shot seemed unaffected and threw himself full twenty feet to a horizontal limb below and to the right, I fired again, and he stopped, ran a few steps forward, and swung to the under side of the branch. At the third charge he hung suspended by one arm and dropped to the ground. We tossed him into the dry creek bed and dashed up the hill where the branches were still swaying as the monkeys traveled through the tree- tops. They had a long start and it was a hopeless chase, In ten min- utes they had disappeared and we | tarned back to find the dead animal. Tt was a young male, and I knew at once that it was a gibbon (Hylobates), for its long arms, round head and tail- less body were unmistakable; but in every species with which I was fa- millar the male was black. ‘This one was yellow and we knew it to be a prize, For the remainder of our stay at the Namting river camp we devoted ourselves to hunting monkeys, The gibbons soon became extremely wild. Although the same troop could usually be found In the valley where we had first discovered them, they chose hill- sides on which it was almost {mpos- sible to stalk them because of the | thorny Jungle, We went forward only | when the calls were echoing through | the jungle and stood motionless as | the wailing ceased. But in spite of | all our care they would see or hear us. ‘Then in sudden silence there would be a tremor of the branches, splash after splash of leaves, and the herd would swing away through the track- less treetops, The gibbons are well named Hylo- bates or “tree walkers,” for they are entirely arboreal and, although awk- ward and almost helpless upon the ground, once their long thin hands touch a branch they become trans: formed into veritable spirits of the treetops, ‘They launch themselves into space, catch a branch twenty feet away to swing for an instant and hurl them: selves to another. It is possible for them to travel through the trees faster than a man can run on open ground. Hard on Norah. ‘Norah was a new servant girl in the employ of the Browns, and hard- ly had she been 24 hours on the job before she had the misfortune to drop a plece of roast beef on the floor. Roast beef that has been used as a mop becomes just a little bit gritty to the taste, so Nora thought {t the part of wisdom to consign It to the gar bage can. “{ think, Nora," remarked Mrs, Brown, rambling into the kitchen Inter in the day, “that we will have some of that roast beef, cut cold for supper.” “Sure, an’ Ol'm sorry, ma'am,” re- sponded Norah, contritely, “but the cat got it when Ol wasn't lookin'’.” “The cat got It!" exclaimed the mis: tress, “What cat?” “Jay whizz, ma’am!" rejoined Norah, considerably concerned. “Ain't there no cat?”—Philadelphia Bulletip. iret Settlement on Manhatten. ‘The first habitations of white men on the island of Manhattan were erect- ed in 1613, ‘The first structures tn the American metropolis were four small houses, or, rather, huts, and they were on the site now occupied by the skyscraper at 41 Broadway. A bronze tablet on the building at that address commemorates the beginning of New York city, ‘The collection of hovels gradually grew into a town, which was almost wiped out by fire in 1826. ‘The first fort was commenced in 1682, on a site now occupied by the customhouse, the main gate of Fort Amsterdam, as it’ was called, opening on Bowling Green, where the first settlers played thelr games, In 1653 a wooden wall was constructed as a defense against a threatened invasion of New England ers, and the site of this wall afterward became Wall street. a A a o> m Old Clothes Dealers Get Rich on Treasure Trove N=, YORK—To the average person who rushes from his apartment to the subway station each morning the man who stops him to whisper something about “hi-cash” and “ol’ close” is but a lowly dealer in cast-off garments, ‘But the money left in discarded clothing of the average New Yorker, His findings Jast year, according to his own estimates, totaled $5,600. “Of course, I try to restore any Jewel that I find in the pocket of a sult I buy,” he said. “If I know where the suit comes from I take it back immedi- ately and usually am given a reward. “But in buying old clothes you must remember that we get many suits in the course of a day; we meet many people and we don't have time to do much examining of pockets if we are going to get over the district we must cover. “Tie result is that If I get in at night with half a dozen suits I nearly al- ways find something stuck in some hidden pocket in one of the coats, Some- times it is a five-dollar bill that the owner tried to hide from his wife and succeeded in hiding from himself. Sometimes it is a plece of small change— too small to warrant a return trip to the owner. But occasionally it Is some- thing of value, such as a diamond ring, “Once I found an engagement ring valued at $450. I returned it and re- ceived $50 as a reward, On another occasion I found an old Jewel that looked as if it was worth about 15 cents. I returned it because it was so old, how- ever, and found it was worth more to its owner than if it had been made of diamonds. He gave me $50 as a reward. “In my experience I have found that one suit in 12 has something of value in it. That really is the profit of the business, since the margin of profit in handling old clothes is not enough to make it worth our time unless there were other means of making an income out of it to be found.” Saloons of Hoboken Are Turned Into Libraries NE.

In place of stocks of wet goods there are stacks of dry books heaped high before the massive mirrors, and the only signs of beer are beer signs on the walls. There are books in the drawers, books on the shelves, books in the ice boxes—tons of books rising from the floor in immense masses: and tapering at the top like pyramids of knowledge. In the olden days, before Uncle Sam picked up Hoboken and left her broken-hearted, these cafes were the gathering places of Germans, The spa- cious rooms which perhaps rang with cheers at German victory are now flooded with books until sometimes they burst through the front doors and run out upon the sidewalk. Those who unknowingly wander up and down Hoboken's principal street in search of liquid refreshment find only food for thought in the form of that which inspires, but does not inebriate, and stimulates, but does not intoxicate.

These Easterners would come together at luncheons and committee meetings, and after getting into a condition of collective depression about the apathy of the country, they would appoint one of their number to act as an oratorical commission. "Rudiger, go out there," they would say to him. "Rudiger, for God's sake, go out there and rouse the middle West!" And Rudiger would go out on his rousing expedition and make speeches before commercial clubs, and at larger meetings, and then go back home without having noticed that the Middle and Western states were already passing their quotas for enlistments of fighting men, whereas Rudiger's own state, at that time, had filled just about appoint one of their number to act commission. "Rudiger, go out there," to him. "Rudiger, for God's sake, grouse the middle West!" And Rud out on his rousing expedition and make commercial clubs, and at larger then go back home without having a Middle and Western states were alrea quotas for enlistments of fighting menger's own state, at that time, had appoint one of their number to act as an oratorical commission. "Rudiger, go out there," they would say to him. "Rudiger, for God's sake, go out there and rouse the middle West." And Rudiger would go out on his rousing expedition and make speeches before commercial clubs, and at larger meetings, and then go back home without having noticed that the Middle and Western states were already passing their quotas for enlistments of fighting men, whereas Rudiger's own state, at that time, had filled just about a third of its. However, the all Easterners, people seemed to war. Rudiger's name was not legion, but populace; and vet he believed that he was almost the only person in America who "comprehended the full seriousness of the situation." He got a somber satisfaction out of his forebodings. "They'll see!" he would predict. "They'll wake up and find out what they're in for, some day when it's too late maybe; but I tell you they won't know what it means! They're at war with the greatest military power in the world, and they're sound asleep! I tell you it drives a man almost crazy to see, as I do, what this war means, and then look about him at all these millions of people behaving as if there weren't any war at all!" East, West, North and South, Rudiger got the habit of scolding. He felt that he had the whole war on his one pair of shoulders. For a day he might forget it a little, and go out and play golf. Then another day would come, when the weight of the war would lie heavily on him, and he'd see some other Rudiger playing golf, and Rudiger would watch him from the clubhouse veranda, and groan and scold. "The big dunderheads!" he would sputter. "They just can't realize it! Nobody doing anything! Nobody even worrying!" Yes; almost all of us had a touch of Rudiger in those days. We imagined that we felt the war more than our neighbors did; the thought made us irritable, and there was a vast scolding. We produced many thousands of editorials and posters founded on the YOU theme. The kaiser will get YOU if YOU don't enlist, or if YOU don't subscribe to the Red Cross, or if YOU don't buy Liberty Bonds. Are YOU doing your duty? If not YOU will be painted yellow. Of course this going after YOU in such an obstreperous way was considered by advertising experts to be the most effective form of rousing, but in the light of later events one may venture to express a doubt and to express also an opinion that the YOU campaign was inspired mainly by its congeniality with the nervous irritability of the time. It was Rudigerism. Whereas, what has really made things happen on the great scale is neither the attack on YOU nor YOUR susceptibility to scolding, but the WE, US and OUR spirit. When a poster shouts at me, "YOU aren't in the trenches," I am apt to feel a little antagonized, and my thought may be: "What business is it of yours, you poster man, or advertising specialist? YOU aren't fm the trenches, either. YOU are as safely at home as anybody, and YOU haven't the right to be screaming reproaches and warnings at me. YOU don't know what I'm doing or trying to do for our cause. YOU seem to think it's more your war than it is mine, and YOU think YOU have to wake me up, and YOU make me tired!" Or, if I'm a selfish and gnat-brained person, the kind at whom the YOU shooting is chiefly aimed, my emotional process may take this form: "Cut out the bull! Yelling 'YOU isn't going to get me to do anything I don't want to do. You can't work ME, 'bo'!" Of course there were individuals who had to be shamed into war efforts, and no doubt the YOU work helped to get them into line, but the really important American pronouns have proved to be those of the first person plural. It was WE, US and OUR that reached those citizens whom we formerly called "German-Americans." It was WE, US and OUR that left nothing of the hyphen—and the hyphen had only smarted the redder under the mustard plaster pronoun YOU. When the "German-Americans," as we called them, found that OUR country was at war, they erased the hyphen. They might have remained "German-Americans" if we had gone to war with any country except Germany, and this is one great benefit that Germany conferred upon us when they attacked us: she killed the hyphen. She counted on killing it, and so far her calculations were correct. But she is not pleased with her success in the matter, for she made a mistake in an important detail: she thought the "German-Americans" would drop the American side of the hyphen; she thought they were really Germans. They weren't. The hyphen is gone forever, and there aren't any "German-American" citizens any more in our country; there are only American citizenes. From August, 1914, until April, 1917, the "German-Americans" often said YOU to the rest of us and the rest of us often said YOU to them; but now all of us say WE, US and OUR. A young friend of mine, of German descent, told me how it was with him. Until April, 1917, he had been pro-German, and at times critical of our government's attitude toward Germany. Only a week or so after war was declared I met him and he was in uniform—a fighting man's uniform. "Of course I am!" he said. "Oh, yes; everything was different until my country went to war. I loved Germany, and I naturally thought that Germany was right in her struggle with other foreign countries. Don't you take your old and admired friend's side when he gets into a controversy with people who are strangers to you? Well, I think I was all right to have felt that way and to have taken that attitude up to the time the United States went to war, and I can't be ashamed of it, even though I may have been mistaken. But Germany is no friend of mine now. No, sir! Not from the moment when she became the recognized enemy of my country. My country's enemy is my enemy and I'm going to fight this enemy of my country if it costs my life. Germany is my enemy! I'm out to help get the kaiser, and we're going to do it!" The "German-Americans" encountered skepticism from people who found it difficult to see how a viewpoint can change with changed circumstances; and the doubt was galling and unhelpful as suspicious doubts nearly always are. A great many good Americans who couldn't get into uniform and fight Germans felt the need of attacking somebody they could get at and make wince. They suffered from the natural and just anger against Germany, but Germany was too far away, and too sheltered behind Hindenburg, to be directly affected, and a lot of us just couldn't contain ourselves; we were so hot we had to let out and give something or somebody within our reach a "good cussing." We cussed the "German-Americans," and made it a little harder for them to declare their loyalty, but the vast majority of them behaved so well under the stress that after a while we had to abandon this means of blowing off our steam. So we picked up the British word "slacker" and used it to vent our irritation; and perhaps we did a little good, here and there, with our "slacker" talk; and certainly we did some harm. We were very free with the word, we editors, writers and speakers, who were not in uniform ourselves. We were especially bitter against what we liked to call the "swivel-chair warriors" in Washington. There were men of draft age, it appears, serving in some of the departments in Washington, and without pausing to inquire how many of these were physically unfit for service in the field, or how many had become indispensable in the positions they were filling, we raged against them. Virtuous congressmen, who themselves had no intention of ever being ex- D a third of its own enlistment quota. However, the Rudigers were not all Easterners. About 100,000,000 people seemed to feel that the United States did not realize that it was at E and vet he believed to "comprehended the war satisfaction out of They'll wake up andate maybe; but I tell war with the greatest deep!

No doubt the word "slacker" has had its uses; but it is possible that we should have done better not to adopt it; and one thing is certain; those of us who have never worn a uniform are not well entitled to use "slacker," in its military sense, as a condemnation of any other man who is not in uniform. We can use the word "traitor" when we can make it good by proof, but we should leave "slacker" to soldiers and those who have been soldiers. We must judge not, lest we be judged. Let us save our bitterness for our enemy. ball would have sent them not in a glow with that steady fire of patriotism when he feels and knows, understand. No doubt the word "slacker" has had should have done better not to adopt of us who have never worn a uniform in its military sense, as a condemnation uniform.

Some 40,000 of us marched and cheer, and perhaps tried not to cry with the people who carried them. There were soldiers—infantry and a units, and lines and lines of surgeon and city officials, and governors and great part of the marchers were just owners marched with their men; laid and unless you knew them you could chants, the bankers, the lawyers, the railroad men, the barbers, the brick carpenters, the plumbers—they the bands played and when the band marched, and the Protestant organ groes marched in their church orders the rest.

When a great trouble comes to a family the members of that family draw closer; they depend upon one another as never before; and they are kinder to one another than they have been in happier times. They forget differences that have come among them, and they make sacrifices to help one another. They find many goodnesses and nobilities in one another that they have not discovered before. Their strength to meet their trouble comes from their unity: they cannot meet it if they bicker and fall apart. If one does not do his share, the others will get less from him by scolding than if they say: "Come, brother!" One day last April we had a "Liberty Loan" parade in Indianapolis. Some 40,000 of us marched and the rest looked on and helped to cheer, and perhaps tried not to cry when the flags went down the street with the people who carried them singing "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!" There were soldiers—infantry and artillery—in the parade, and hospital units, and lines and lines of surgeons and nurses, and there were state and city officials, and governors and senators and ex-ambassadors; but the great part of the marchers were just the people of a city at war. Factory owners marched with their men; labor leaders marched with millionaires, and unless you knew them you couldn't tell which was which. The merchants, the bankers, the lawyers, the doctors, the dentists, the clerks, the railroad men, the barbers, the bricklayers, the steel workers, the canners, the carpenters, the plumbers—they all marched and they all sang when the bands played and when the bands didn't. The Catholic organizations marched, and the Protestant organizations marched. Thousands of negroes marched in their church orders, singing and free and in the war, like the rest. And there were great clubs and organizations that had been called German, but would no longer be called German, they marched and sang and were most absolutely and violently a part of the war on Germany. There were Bulgarians, shouting the allied battle call, singing "The Battle Cry of Freedom," and there were Roumanians, and Serbians and Greeks and Russians, all Americans and all in this war. There were Chinese and there was a band of Japanese, dressed as antique bowmen. Now where in the city was there anything that wasn't at war with the Germans, And overhead sailed the airplanes. But it was not so with Indianapolis alone, or with all the cities and towns and villages and countrysides of Indiana alone. The same manifestation was visible all over America where there are 100,000,000 people! So we said: "If that Rosenkranz and Guilderstern pair of worthies in Germany, Hindendorff and Ludenburgh, could only get a bird's-eye view of what is showing forth today, if they could get but a glimpse of this America roused, they might also get a glimpse of what is coming to them!" . . . America not only roused, but America united. Our trouble has taught us our unity. We have said: "Come, brother!" and we stand together, steadfast. We are at war with militarism. The kaiser, knowing that he is the front and symbol of militarism, said: "Those who wish to destroy us are digging their own graves." He knows well enough what we mean to destroy, and in his rage he talks graveyard to frighten us. His worst mistake has been his thinking that "terrorization" terrifies; that murdering a man's child subdues the man and keeps him quiet. Zeppelinins, submarines, 70-mile guns, poison gas, rape, setting peaceful towns on fire, turning machine guns on women, children, priests and old men—these are the raw head and bloody bones he uses, hoping through fear to make all the wide world his own private ogre's castle. But America will not have it so. Let him wave his raw head and bloody bones; let him threaten us with graves, and let him make the German people believe that it is Germany we mean to destroy; he knows what this republic means to do; he knows what the united democracy of the world means to do—and it is he that is afraid, and proves his fear, like a coward talking big in the dark. America is marching. Leaders go before us, mighty and implacable for America and for the freedom of man, and we see them not in dimness, but as shining figures, alive today and alive forever, at the head of the nation: Washington and Franklin and Hamilton and Adams and Jefferson and Patrick Henry and Francis Marion and Paul Jones and Light Horse Harry Lee; and Decatur and Madison and Scott, and William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor. And the solemn, great figure of Lincoln marches there, at our head, with Grant and Sherman and Sheridan and Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. We know what these men said to us: that the word to us was always the same, yesterday and today and tomorrow—always their word to us is "Forward!" And we follow them. Their way lies straight upward over emperors and kings. For a while, in our prosperity, it seemed that we had forgotten our leaders, that we had forgotten that the power of the spirit is greater than the power of dollars, that we had even forgotten to keep ourselves a nation, one and indivisible, and had become a collection of grabbers, living on fat and laughing at corruption and shame and it was thus the German thought of us. Never was there so false a lie! The time has come that brings us our test. America woke and woke in arms. Not one true son of America doubts the future.

And so, some of the departments, yielding to oratory and other pressure, drew out many men who had learned their jobs and were working more hours a day than any union should have allowed; and then other men, some of them far less competent, and all of them beginners, put into the swivel chairs, and the work of the war was thereby just so much disarranged and must so much delayed—all of which means something in the casualty lists. We had to learn that criticism must know its own job thoroughly; it mustn't be merely "blowing off steam." And enthusiasm is useful only when it never takes its eye off the ball.

CONCLUDING THE STORY OF AFTERNOON FROCKS 1 PRESENTING PAJAMAS AS SLEEPING GARMENTS Copyright Underwood & Underwood The conclusion of the summer's story of afternoon gowns introduces a few new and interesting features. When midsummer was barely in sight along came organdie and took its place by the side of crepe georgette as a favorite for the sheerest and quaintest frocks. Then appeared foulard, in bold figured patterns, showing a white design on a colored ground, velled with georgette, or otherwise combined with it, in the same color. Just by way of showing that georgette is not indispensable these figured foulards have been made up with wide laces, and again foulard has shown itself quite equal to standing alone in gowns that found no room for sheerer stuffs. A graceful model for a foulard or crepe de chine or soft satin frock appears at the left of the picture. It has a plain skirt with a tunic which starts out by being nearly as long as the skirt, but wanders upward in its course about the figure until it fails to reach the knees, in length. The PRESENTING PA AS SLEE Logic, having lodged itself in the mind of modern woman, makes it easy to explain why she finds so many good reasons for taking to trousers. She still walks in skirts, but she rides, swims, hunts, keeps bees, gardens and farms in bloomers or overalls or breeches. But there is no logic that explains her taking to pajamas for sleeping garments or to replace other negliges, unless it is that she has discovered them to be most becoming. Anyway, the fact stands that in every representative collection of lingerie pajamas, in two-piece and one-piece styles, have as prominent representation as night dresses and negligees. Also there are about as many garments made of wash satin, crepe de chine and other wash silks as there are of fine cotton. The heavier cotton weaves are a thing of the past in undergarments, excepting petticons. Among these must be some that are heavy to wear under sheer dresses. In the picture the pajamas shown are of crepe de chine. With ruffles of lace at the bottom of the trousers and as a finish on the sleeves, everyone will acknowledge that they are alluringly pretty and feminine looking. The short cont is belted and finished at the neck with a net collar. --- bodice has a folded vest of georgette, in the color of the foulard, at the front, and an embroidered collar. The small buttons are covered with the silk. At the right a frock of georgette achieves a tunic effect by the simple expedient of a wide tuck and bands of embroidery or braiding that looks like embroidery. It has a soft and wide crushed girdle of georgette and a scarf collar that hangs below the waistline and is finished with small silk covered balls. The very tiny buttons on the sleeves are covered with several thicknesses of the georgette crepe. Foulard gowns are usually quiet in color, sand, beige, blue and black with navy blue having white figures, are all popular. In georgette and organdie the gayer, flower-like colors are favored. Heliotrope, pale yellow, green, pink, rose and coral are the vellier tones, but sand and grey are never to be left out of the reckoning, in this delicate and beautiful fabric. JAMAS PING GARMENTS Another fascinating suit is shown the little sketch at the left. It has pantalettes breaking out into frills at the bottom and a delightful short smock finished with fancy stitching about the neck and sleeves. Garments of this kind made of silk or baiste in white or flesh color employ needlework in contrasting colors for their decoration. In the sketch at the right a one-piece garment decorated in this way consists of pantalettes joined to a sleeveless kimono waist. Julia Bottomley Smart millinery shops in London are displaying metal helmets for women, presumably for wear during air raids; though it is a question whether the fair wearer of a protective helmet would not flee to a bombproof refuge just as swiftly as her sister whose headgear was fashioned of straw and silk. The metal helmets for women cost just about twice as much as those designed for the masculine sex. They are lined with dalnty and soft material, and on top is a cunning knob which gives a rakish and distinctive line to the stern headgear. (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1918, Western Newpaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 30 REVIEW: JESUS CHRIST OUR RE- DEEMER AND LORD. GOLDEN TEXT—For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.—John 3: 16. Then art the Christ, the Son of the living God.—Matthew 15:16. I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.— Romans 1:16. The method of review must largely be determined by the individual teacher. For junior and intermediate classes a good way will be by the use of a good map of Palestine, to trace the journeys of Jesus from his birth to his ascension, giving emphasis to some of his vital teachings, deeds of mercy and power, atoning death, triumphant resurrection and glorious coming again. The following day may be suggestive of the latter method: Lesson I.—As Jesus was passing through the coasts of Tyre and Sidon he was besought by a Syrophoenician woman to heal her daughter, who was grievously possessed with a demon. After apparent indifference, in order to lead her into an intelligent faith, he healed her daughter. As he further journeyed through Decapolis, a deaf and dumb man besought him for healing. Lesson 11.—As his earthly career was approaching its end, Jesus began to take account of his ministry. He wanted the disciples to have definite and personal knowledge as to his person. He knew that the opinions of others would not suffice them in the hours of darkness which were immediately before them. Lesson 111.—Jesus was transfigured before Peter, James and John, to show them his triumph over death in his glorious kingdom. This occurred at a time when the disciples were sorely tried. Jesus' rebuke apparently estranged them. He was transfigured "before them," showing that the chief object of the transfiguration was to prepare the disciples for the ordeal before them. An inspired commentary upon this translation is found in IE Peter 1:16-19. Lesson IV.—As Jesus was endowing to show his disciples how he must be crucified, they were disputing as to who should be the greatest in the kingdom. Jesus taught them that humble, self-denying service is the sign of true greatness. This is a lesson which needs to be learned by most of us today, as despite our best efforts we note insidious self-seeking making itself known. Lesson V.—A certain rich man inquired of the Lord as to what he must do in order to inherit eternal life. This young man was of an amable disposition and earnest and sincere, but he had wrong notions as to salvation. Jesus showed him that his supreme need was not doing something to be saved, but to be willing to surrender all things for him. Lesson VI.1.While the Lord was consciously facing the cross, the disciples were concerned about positions of pre-eminence. Jesus taught them that those who would follow him must not seek for greatness or position, but to render lowly service. In this Christ is the grand example. In due time he will exalt those who in lowliness of heart serve him. Lesson VII.1.Jesus drove out the money changers from the temple, and declared that the house of God should be a house of prayer instead of a house of merchandise. This lesson needs to be learned by many churches today. Lesson VIII.—The scribes sought to entrap Jesus by asking captions questions. To the question as to what was the greatest commandment, he replied that it was love to God with all one's heart, soul, mind and strength. Since this is the first and great commandment, to violate this commandment is to be guilty of the greatest sin. Lesson IX.—While Jesus sat at meat, a certain woman appointed him with precious ointment in anticipation of his burial. The Lord was pleased with this act, for it was out of a heart of fervent love that she lavished upon him her best. Lesson X.—In connection with the last Passover, at which Judas betrayed Jesus, the symbols which represent the body and blood of Jesus were introduced. In the emblems of the communion we appropriate the very life and blessings of Christ. Lesson XI.—Jesus died between two malefactors to make atonement for the world's sin. He gave his life a ransom for many. While on the cross, they mockingly said he saved others, himself he could not save. He could not save both himself and others, so he chose to save others and give himself to die. Lesson XII.—Jesus arose from the grave and demonstrated his resurrection with infallible proofs. In this God declared him to be his Son, and set his stamp of approval upon his work. The disciples ought to have rejoiced that the tomb was empty. Had he not arisen, h's entire work would have been proven a failure. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the bodily resurrection of those who are Christ's, is central to the Christian faith.
