NUMBER 45 MEN'S COLORED EDITION Moulders of Public Sentiment May Best Air NOTABLE ADDRESS Free, Frank and Full Discussion Characterize Representa Washington, District of Columbia.—By the authority and direction of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, called to Washington this week for a conference, thirty or forty representatives of important colored newspapers of the country, together with a number of the leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro people, to consider methods by which the millions of colored people of the nation may best assist in the winning of the war. Proceedings Marked by Dignity and Unity. The conference formally opened Wednesday morning, June 19, in the main auditorium of the new building of the Department of Interior, 18th and F streets northwest, at 10:30 o'clock, and continued throughout Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21. Mr. Scott presided at all of the sessions, which were marked by an earnestness of purpose, a broad grasp of the questions at issue, and an unwavering loyalty to the flag of the nation, as well as by an intense devotion to the highest interests of the colored Americans for whom they came primarily to speak. The discussion covered a wide range and the conferees were given an opportunity to present their views, reflecting the state of mind of the colored people of the country, with the utmost freedom and frankness, unharmed by parliamentary restrictions or any effort to direct opinion in any particular channel—save that of utilizing in the most effective manner every resource at the command of the race to bring victory to the American arms in its present struggle for liberty and world-wide democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably tempered addresses at various stages of the deliberations repeatedly admonished the conferees to voice their sentiments fully and fearlessly, laying all grievances and suggestions for their redress upon the common altar, with the view of strengthening where needed the patriotism and morale of the Negro people. So fair and impartial were the rulings of the chair upon every point raised or principle enunciated, that at no time was a single exception taken to them. Every conceivable shade of individual opinion was represented in the body, but there was from the outset a firm disposition to subordinate private and personal considerations to the general good, without regard to politics, creed, faction or section. This lofty aim was adhered to most religiously. Dignity of statement, harmony of thought and unity of action were the predominating features of the three days' session. The document, reported by the special committee appointed to summarize the expression of the conference as to the best plans for the mobilization of the resources of the 12,000,000 Negroes of the Republic in support of the war aims of the government, was adopted by a unanimous vote, given heartily and enthusiastically. "America" was sung with fervor and unction as final adjournment was taken. Notable Addresses by Officials of High Station. The conference was addressed in sympathetic vein, during the sessions, by the following notable officials of high station: Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War; Mr. George Creel, Chairman of the Committee on Public Information; Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Mr. Edward N.

"Any Washington, D. C., July 1.—The War Department has made it clear that it will tolerate no discrimination against Colored drawees by the local draft boards in any section of the country and that cases of alleged unfairness will be fully investigated and corrected by the Departmental authorities. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in a recent interview, speaking with reference to alleged discrimination against Colored drawees, said, in part: "I have heard that draft boards in adjoining counties take a different view of practically identical facts with regard to Colored men; but the answer in all these cases is that a review is provided directly by the President, and all that is necessary for anybody to do who thinks there is a grievance, to be point it out to the War Department, and it will be investigated. If the draft boards act unfairly, we will correct their action."

America's great shipbuilding program is being put through with practically no labor troubles, because the spirit of co-operation among workmen in the yards is like an unlimited balance in the bank, Chairman Hurley, of the shipping board, today told a conference of Afro-American editors. "It has been an enormous task to bring half a million workers together, at new tasks, in new localities," said Mr. Hurley, "but there has never been a time when the spirit of the ship-workers could not be counted upon to keep the work going. "We have found the workers willing to do far more than a day's work. They have speeded up riveting to such an extent that it has been necessary to safeguard the energy which they are so willing to pour out for the country. In shipyard after shipyard the whole force has donated wages to the Red Cross and other war needs." The loyalty of the American Negro also was praised by Mr. Hurley, who said that the united enthusiasm of the nation in prosecuting the war was largely due to the unselfish patriotism of the press. CAPTAIN ROWAN IS DISMISSED. Army Officer Drew Color Line at Camp Pike. Little Rock, Ark., June 28.—Capt. E. C. Rowan, whose trial by court-martial at Camp Pike for refusing to obey an order from his major which would have caused temporary consolidation of white selectives under Captain Rowan's command with Negro selectives, caused nation-wide attention, has been dismissed from the army he said here today. Captain Rowan has been on duty with the depot brigade at Camp Pike. He received notice of his discharge this morning. Captain Rowan said he intended to go to Russia and give his services to those opposed to Hun occupation of Russia. Captain Rowan, in answering the charge, said training white with Negro troops would have wrecked the morale of his white selectives who were Southern men. He made no denial of refusing to obey his battalion commander, Major F. B. Shaw's, order. The dismissal verdict has been approved by the War Department. Captain Rowan is from Mississippi. BERT WILLIAMS QUITS FOLLIES Colored Comedian Will Enter Vaudeville. New York, June 15.—Bert Williams, for years leading comedian of the Ziegfield Follies, has left that show and will enter vaudeville. It is said the reason given for his withdrawal is lack of material with which to entertain audiences. Williams is to appear in a one-act version of Uncle Tom's Cabin, in which he will play the parts of Uncle Tom and Simon Legree. Arrangements for booking the play are now being made. PROF. LEE HONORED. The many readers of the Sun, as well as the myriad friends of Prof. J. R. E. Lee, will be pleased to know that he has had conferred upon him by Wilberforce University the degree of LL.D. Professor Lee is in Louisiana giving a four weeks' course of lectures to summer schools: One week at New Orleans, another at Boston Rouge, a third at Alexandria, and the fourth at Shreveport. He will then go to the University of Wisconsin for a special four weeks' course in high school organization and supervision. From Our Foreign Correspondents A. F. and A. M. Mo. Jurisdiction A.

Policemen regulated long lines of people patiently standing out on the side walks, waiting, not for their favorite matinee idol to pass, but for a chance to enter a food shop and buy a small quantity of food. It takes about three minutes for the shop keepers to dress their windows over there, merely because there are, perhaps, but a few cans of condensed milk and a box or two of corned beef to be displayed. Yet over here in America, bones, hay, even fats and precious scraps of meat are going into the garbage pails!

With the American Armies in France, July 1.—American Negro troops proved their value as fighters in the line east of Verdun on June 12, it is now permissible to state. The Germans attempted a raid in that sector, but were repulsed completely by the Negroes. The boches began a terrific bombardment at one minute after midnight, throwing over between three thousand and four thousand shells from guns ranging in size from sixty-seven to 40 millimeters. The bombardment was concentrated on small areas. Many of the shells made holes from ten to fifteen feet across. In the midst of this inferno the Negroes cooly stuck to their posts, operating machine guns and automatic rifles, and keeping up such a steady barrage that the German infantry failed to penetrate the American lines. The Americans miraculously sustained only two wounded. "Dixie luck was a-working with us," explained one. "We all got knocked down lots o' times, but every man got right up." In the attack a crew of a machine was bowled over by mineinwerfer attacks which made a 15-foot hole ten feet from them. They all got up, mounted the gun and continued shooting until it jammed. Then, despite the terrible bombardment, they fixed it and again turned it on the Germans. This incident was repeated twice. Both French and American officers reported that the Negroes performed like veterans. They obeyed orders promptly, took risky duties voluntarily and compared well with the best troops on the west front. and your every want will be supplied. Prices reasonable; Food first-class.

Bush, publisher The Mosaic Guide, Little Rock, Ark. Extract From Resolutions Adopted. The following is extract from the Resolutions adopted by the conference: "We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principally among the Colored people of America, and representatives of other activities, wish to affirm first of all, OUR UNALTERABLE BELIEF THAT THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT AND WHAT IT TODAY REPRESENTS IS OF PARA-MOUNT IMPORTANCE TO THE WELFARE OF THE WORLD IN GENERAL AND TO OUR PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR. "We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the unattarnished record of Negro Americans, to reaffirm our loyalty to Our Country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic and self-sacrificing participation in the war. "We are not unmindful of the recognition of our American citizenship in the draft, of the appointment of Solored officers, of the designation of Colored advisors to the Government departments, and to other indications of a broadened public opinion, nevertheless we believe today that justifiable grievances of the Colored people are producing not disloyalty, but an amount of unrest and bitterness which even the best efforts of their leaders may not be able always to guide unless they can have the active and sympathetic co-operation of the National and State Governments. German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own Government may be dangerous. * * * "The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold up a striving country and a distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to catalogue, in this tremendous crisis, all his coplaints and disabilities; he is more than willing to do his full share in helping to win the war for democracy and he expects his full share of the fruits thereof—but he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an efficient fighter for VICTORY." Social and Educational Diversions. To enliven the occasion for the distinguished visitors a local committee of citizens provided a series of entertainments, which included, among other interesting things, a theater party of fifty at the Howard theater, Wednesday evening to witness the pre- THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1918. sentation of "The Divorce Question" by the Quality Amusement Company, of New York City; a smoker and luncheon on Thursday evening in the assembly room of the 12th Street Y. M. C. A., with Attorney W. L. Houston as toastmaster; and a tour of the city Friday afternoon in sight-seeing automobiles, covering views of the parks and public buildings, and the schools, churches, business houses and homes of Colored Washintonians. On Thursday afternoon, Capt. Arthur S. Spingarn presented at the Army Medical Museum a highly instructive moving picture, entitled "Fit to Fight," emphasizing the value of physical health in the army and depicting the dangers to which soldiers are subjected in the matter of disease and dissipation, with suggestions for recreational centers and other agencies for wholesome and moral diversions for the soldiers in camps and cantonments. Committees That Rendered Service. The committee appointed to summarize the proceedings of the conference was composed of the following: Dr. Robert E. Jones, chairman, South western Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, The Crisis, New York City; John Mitchell Jr., The Planet, Richmond, Va.; Dr. R. R. Moton, principal Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; B. J. Davis, The Independent, Atlanta, Ga.; and Fred R. Moore, The New York Age, New York City, and W. T. Andrews, The Daily Herald, Baltimore Md. The committee to co-operate with the office of the Surgeon-General of the Army to improve hygienic conditions among the soldiers was made up of J. H. Murphy, Afro-American Baltimore, Md.; George W. Harris The New York News, New York City; John Mitchell, Jr., The Planet, Richmond, Va.; Dr. Henry M. Minton Philadelphia, Penn., and Dr. A. M. Curtis, Washington, D. C. The Washington committee on entertainment included Dr. A. M. Curtis chairman; James A. Cobb, Judge Robert H. Terrell, W. L. Houston, Dr. W. H. Davis, W. J. Singleton, Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, R. W. Thompson, Chas A. Wilson, W. Calvin Chase and J. Finley Wilson. Washington, D. C., June 24, 1918.—Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Uegro Economics of the Department of Labor, has just returned from an extended trip into several states where he met in conferences and interviews at different points in each state a number of representative white and Colored men and women, to discuss with them the plans of the Department for improving local labor conditions. The Director visited points in Virginia, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. He is also in correspondence with persons in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois for the purpose of similar visits to those states. The purpose of these first visits is to get the advice and solicit the help of persons of both races in each state in carrying out a co-operative program to take practical constructive steps for enlisting all in a campaign to mobilize Negro workers for more strenuous labor to win the war. Due consideration, of course, is given to improving the conditions of Negro workers along all lines and to encouraging all who labor. Briefly stated, the plan is to secure in each locality co-operating committees of white and Colored citizens composed of the strongest men and women of both races to work out plans and methods of adjusting local labor problems, in the interest of both employers and employees. When interviewed by a representative of the press, Dr. Haynes said: "In all parts of the country, now representative white and Colored people are feeling that this is the time to pool their efforts and pull together. In my work of previous years I have found in almost every locality some white and Colored citizens who were responsive to a practical program of work to meet the needs of their community." "The various betterment and civic organizations that the Colored people have organized have shown such activity along many lines to improve local conditions and race relations." "On the bases of such experience the Department of Labor is building its plans for meeting local labor situations that are affecting the Negro and his employers in various parts of the country. Already, the Department is meeting with gratifying cooperation of both white and Colored people in various counties, towns, and cities." "Just as in all the Nation's past wars, the Negro is ready to do his share of the fighting in the trenches and dying on the field of battle. No less zealous has he been in doing the work to raise food and make supplies for our Allies and our men at the front. The Negro workman needs to be told, in ways to make it clear, that his toil of all kinds is appreciated and of value in winning this war. He needs to have it made plain to him that victory in this war will bring rewards of democracy to him. If this is done, Charles Knight's example in breaking the world's riveting record will be repeated in many other occupations." "There are two kinds of people in our country at this time: Those who DO and those who DON'T! We plan to enlist every Negro in the country in the ranks of those who DO." LEADING NEGRO LAWYER DECLARES FOR JUDGE BULGER As a further evidence that all the representative Negroes are unanimous in their approval of the candidacy of Judge Miles Bulger to succeed himself as Presiding Judge of the Jackson County Court is the following letter from one of Kansas City's most prominent and successful young attorneys who believes in the good old doctrine of "Giving honor unto whom honor is due." His letter is as follows: Editor Kansas City Sun: I desire to announce to my many friends through the columns of your excellent paper that I shall myself, and feel it the duty of my friends as well as all Colored men who are citizens and voters in Jackson county to lend our support to the candidacy of Judge Miles Bulger who in his capacity as Presiding Judge of the County Court, has proven the most fearless consistent and steadfast friend the poor, aged and infirm Negroes of this county have ever had. And to him and his splendid colleagues upon this bench are due the sincere thanks of all that large element of thinking and respectable Negroes who believe in equal justice to all men. While many of us may not have the pleasure of voting in the primaries for the renomination of Judge Bulger, yet when he has been renominated (which he will be), we can assist in giving him such a tremendous majority as will impress upon the minds of white men of all political parties that the Negro is unwervingly grateful and loyal to his friends regardless of political affiliation. CHARLES H. CALLOWAY. DISTRICT CONFERENCE Of the Southwest Missouri Annual Conference Convenes. By J. A. Alexander.

ONE DECISION IS UNANIMOUS Judge Bond Compliments Lawmakers on Intelligence Displayed in Framing Statute-Three Justices Dissent. Jefferson City. The supreme court, en banc, upheld the validity of both the income tax law and the inheritance tax law, enacted by the legislature in 1917. The vote of the court on the inheritance tax decision was unanimous, but three of the seven judges dissented from the decision sustaining the income tax law. Chief Justice Henry Bond wrote the opinion on the income tax law. Judges Graves, Walker and Blair concurred, and Judges Farris, Woodson and Williamis dissented. Judge Graves wrote the opinion in the inheritance tax case. The income tax was brought up for review when the Ludlow-Saylor Wire Co. of St. Louis sought to enjoin City Assessor Louis Wollbrinck from collecting the income tax from that corporation. In summing up the arguments for and against the constitutionality of the act, Judge Bond said: "In the act under review the legislature performed with rare intelligence and fidelity to the trust imposed upon them by the people, an act of present statesmanship, without contravening any of the limitations imposed on their action by the constitution of the state. We therefore hold the act to be valid." BOSTON PIANIST OPENS STUDIO IN KANSAS CITY. The Sun takes great pleasure in announcing that Mr. Clyde L.

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.

The movement to increase wages of Missouri school teachers, headed by State Superintendent of Public Schools Uel W. Lamkin, has produced some results in cities, but in rural districts progress is slow. Lamkin has pointed out that grade teachers can get better wages from government departments at Washington and that many have left the state. Forty-nine instructors and lecturers in the state university receive $900 to $1,600 a year, and 60 professors in the same institution receive from $2,000 to $3,000 a year. Assistants receive very low salaries. 700 in Summer School Columbia.—Seven hundred have enrolled in the 1918 summer session of the University of Missouri, the last session of the sort which will be held before the university begins to operate under the three-term all-year-plan. Only 100 of the summer students are men, about half of whom are taking military training. The total enrollment last summer was about 900. War courses of nearly every sort, from military training to Red Cross work, are offered either by the university or may be taken in connection with the university work. Courses for persons who desire to qualify to each vocational subject under the Smith-Hughes act have been especially arranged. In view of the great need for teachers of all ranks, the university is offering special advantages in educational courses.

An early decision will be rendered by the public service commission in the applications of the Union Electric Light and Power Co. to increase its rates. This was announced by Chairman William G.

Missouri in general, and Jackson county (the fifth district) in particular, need an aggressive, high class, loyal American like Judge W. T. Bland in the United States congress and if the Democrats nominate him in their primaries next month the people irrespective of political affiliations will send him with the greatest majority any man ever received in this congressional district. We were delighted during our recent visit to Washington, D. C., to meet our old friend, Professor A. U. Craig, who has charge of the Negro Press Section of the Food Administration Department, and who is rendering invaluable assistance to the Government at Washington. The Black Eye that President Wilson gave the Star's protege, Congressman Borland, this week is nothing compardd with the black eye the loyal Democrats are going to give him in the primaries next month. HOW COLORED PEOPLE MAY HELP IN WAR WORK. (Editorial, The Washington Bee.) When Mr. Emmett J. Scott was appointed to be a special assistant to the Secretary of War in matters relating to our Colored people as a factor in the present war, The Bee commended the appointment and warmly approved the selection. Secretary Baker's wisdom in making the appointment is already more than demonstrated. There are two thoughts that stand out prominently in this connection. One is the gratitude of a large segment of our population to Mr. Baker for the liberality and courage in him that made the appointment possible; the other is the satisfaction of the Colored race in possessing a man of Mr. Scott's character, tact, adaptability and capacity. Another thought is: What can the Colored people do to help Mr. Baker and Mr. Scott to make the work a success? Our answer is: Do not ask a multiplicity of embarrassing questions. It frightens from all adverse criticism. Offer constructive suggestions, calculated to be useful to the country. Co-operate in every reasonable way that Mr. Scott may indicate. It is not necessary that all of us at such a time should know all the reasons for all proposed measures and steps. At such a time we must all be, if not actual soldiers, soldiers at heart. The spirit of true soldiers is the spirit of the daring Six Hundred who rode into the jaws of death at Balaklava: Ours not to reason why: Ours but to do and die. LET POTATOES FIGHT They Save Wheat.

Lloyd, Reaches His Goal For One Thousand New Members This Fis'al Year. KANSAS CITY BRINGS IN BIG QUOTA At the close of the last Pythian year when the jurisdiction was sounding the praises of that most splendid and aggressive of Grand Chancellors the Jurisdiction of Missouri has ever seen fit to elect, Mr. A. W. Lloyd, he decided then and there that notwithstanding the fact that the brethren over the entire jurisdiction were lauding him to the highest and declaring that his efforts had been perfectly satisfactory, he himself had not reached the goal; and characteristic of all his undertakings he began to carefully and judiciously lay out plans for an increased membership to the grand old organization of one thousand members for this year's work. After conferring with his Cabinet and assistants, many were of the opinion that the ladder was too high to reach in the allotted time but unswerving in his belief that this mark could be reached, he was able finally to convince his coworkers that the attempt was worth the while. Just how well this plan has succeeded over the entire jurisdiction is shown by the fact that on last Friday, Mr. Lloyd enrolled the last candidates to complete his desired number. While a large number of members have been added to the already organized lodges throughout this Jurisdiction, three new lodges have been set up this year, thus injecting new life into the Organization. Mr. Lloyd is indeed proud of his year's work and feels that the Juris diction too, will be elated over the excellent report which he will have to submit and that it will inspire them to successfully bring to a culmination still greater achievements. Kansas City, Kansas Lieut. A. B. Madison, Co. D. 366th Infantry, arrived safely overseas. He is a nephew of Mrs. John Heitz, 1829 Park.

C.-The rights of illegitimate children and the State's responsibility for seeing that every child, no matter what his parentage has the nurture, protection, and education essential to his usefulness as a citizen are for the first time given complete national recognition in the Norwegian laws concerning illegitimate children, according to a report issued today by the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor. These laws make the State instead of the mother responsible for establishing paternity. The State holds both parents equally and continuously responsible for the *illegitimate child—"The child shall be entitled to bringing up—maintenance, training, and education—from both its father and its mother." The report contains a translation of the several Norwegian laws, with amendments, an illegitimate children and their care. A history of the efforts through which the legislation was secured is given in the introduction. The attitude which looks upon ilegitimacy as a child-welfare problem that must be solved for the sake of the child and of the State is exemplified by this Norwegian legislation. In connection with its studies of the bearing of the war upon child welfare the Children's Bureau examined the evidence obtainable but could not find that it justified the statement that have been circulated of wide-spread increase in illegitimacy since the war. The Bureau believes, however, that the needs of the illegitimate child must be considered in the Children's Year campaign "to save 100,000 children's lives during the second year of the war and to get a square deal for children." In the Children's Year Working Program attention is called to the necessity of providing opportunity for normal development to the child of unmarried parents. MRS. FRED W. DABNEY MRS. PRED W.

And The Sun, though a Republican paper in politics, has no hesitancy nor makes no apologies in announcing that it stands unequivocally for the popular Judge for this position and sincerely believes that in a spirit of gratitude for the many splendid things Judge Bulger has done for the race in this county during his term of office, that a large majority of the Negro voters will enthusiastically assist in returning him to this position.

The law seems to have an unkind, materialistic lack of sympathy toward this particular psychic who in flowing purple robes sat in his magicians who are to be prosecuted on crude, impolite material criminal charges. One in the Bronx collected a tangible five-dollar bill the other day from a worried and credulous woman who was persuaded that her purchase of a "cryptic name" would protect her son, who is an army aviator, from any harm. The wonder of the faking psychic is the class of people he attracts. Many of his patrons are high up in the social world, hard-headed business men fall and one famous writer was bitten by the psychic bug. The rendezvous or retreats are in the most select neighborhoods. Doors are opened softly, heavy carpets deaden all footfalls and queer Egyptian odors spoil perfectly good atmosphere. Many of the victims fall into stupors after going through the weird practices of the various cults.

The others were charged with being inmates of a public nuisance.

"Can't a man have a date with some girls without you fish gettin' all het up about it?" demanded the skipper. "Girls!" gasped Bill. "Girls! Ain't one enough for an old barnacle like you? How many y'gonna meet, anyhow?" "Oh, 'bout 60," replied the tugboat captain, complacently. That was too much for Bill. He went away and told the rest of the bunch and a close watch was kept on the skipper. "Guess the pore of' feller's lost one of his oarlocks or sumpin'," sighed Bobby Peach, sympathetically. Then the girls showed up. Sixty of them. And they all cried, "Hello, Cap! Greetings, skipper!" Then they climbed aboard the old man's tug and sailed out into the night.

Riverside Drive Attracts Visitors in New York NEW YORK.—Riverside drive is the mecca for visitors these beautiful days. Its delightful, shady walks are crowded with strangers, both civilians and men in uniform, who represent every nation in the scrap on the side of the skill. Vast sums have been expended in its construction and maintenance. Long before the Revolution this portion of Manhattan was occupied by the suburban residences of wealthy New Yorkers, and the banks of the Hudson were dotted with country villas and estates. In most cases these homes were so situated that when the drive was opened they either had to be removed to make way for the roadbed or were set so far back as to be entirely off the lane. The plan of this magnificent roadway was conceived by William M. Tweed when he was in the height of his political power, but it was not opened until 1880. The drive first gained a national reputation in 1885 when General Grant was buried there. In spite of its natural beauty and pure air, Riverside drive has never approached Fifth avenue as a fashionable residence thoroughfare. When improvements began it was freely predicted that the Drive would rival, if not surpass, Fifth avenue, but this prophecy failed of fulfillment.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. JULY 6. 1918 International Film Service Street Scene in Nancy. NANCY, the former capital of Lorraine, which was left to France by the Treaty of Frankfurt in 1611. itizes the w lets surro the yearly chief city behind the sector which the American troops took over from the French, is of historical interest, writes Mme. Marie de Perrott in the New York Tribune. Illustrations at the time of the dukes of Burgundy, their last scion, Charles the Bold, came to a miserable end there. Thence the three last "Roman emperors" went to be crowned in Vienna. In 1914 another German emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, believed that Nancy would fall three days after the hostilities began and, according to his habit, was already dressed for the part—had his face made up, like the actor he is, for a triumphant entry. But he had reckoned without the defense of the Grand Couronne, and above all without the indomitable will of a nation. As I write I see once again before me the panorama I know so well. From the Plateau Haye there lies before me a view of a long stretch of close roofs, towers, spires, churches, high iron frameworks. This is Nancy itself, united to its suburbs by secluded, shaded avenues. In the distance sparkles the lake of the Selle, which forms a boundary, for it is German today. To my right glides softly the Moselle, no longer dashing impetuously through rough mountains and thick woods, but as far as Metz and Coblenz bordered by vineyards, already so famous in the Rome of old, where big clusters of purple or golden grapes reflect in the water their color and light. Close by the small River Amezule, a tributary of the Meurthe, is dominated by the abrupt hill of Aance and the woods of Champenoux, where so many of our brave dead are lying, for this was the theater of the first German attack in 1914. All those who have visited Nancy before 1914 will remember its churches and public monuments. The ducal chapel, one of the gems of the world's architecture, has been, ever since the eleventh century, the burial place of those proud rivals of the kings of France, the dukes of Burgundy, whose great ambition was to become rulers themselves and make of France and Belgium one kingdom. The great French revolution dragged their bodies from their leaden coffins to put them into the graveyard, but the restoration of 1814 gave them back their legitimate place. The last 40 years and the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany have bestowed upon Nancy, which was left to us, great importance. It has taken more a literary cachet, as well as one of elegance, and become the intellectual brain and the center of spiritual influence of eastern France. Its faculties, grouped in independent bodies, deserve their honorary title and are real universities, attracting students from all parts of the world. As to the professors, their renown far surpasses the narrow boundaries of a provincial town, la province, as we disdainfully call all that does not belong to Paris. Its industries, also, until the great war, were in a most flourishing state; most of the manufacturers and workmen of Metz and Strasbourg took up their abode here after 1871, proudly styling themselves emigres, to show that they had left their homes to avoid German rule, bringing with their skill and activity great prosperity to the former capital of Lorraine. I remember as a small child during the stage of Strasbourg playing sometimes in the sheltered garden of a brewer at Schiltighelm, and was much pleased to find, twenty years or more later, that he had installed a brewery at Nancy on a really gigantic scale. Cabbage pickled in salt, which is a national dish of the Alsatians, is fabricated here for the whole of Alsace and is sent all over Europe. Noted for Many Arts and Crafts. Embroidered and the making of boots and straw hats keep thousands of bands busy in Nancy, which central- Burial Place of Dukes izes the work of the villages and hamlets surrounding it. Before the war the yearly export of boots and shoes amounted to over $4,000,000, divided among 25 manufacturers. They were of a common variety, sewn by machine, generally with nailed soles, and were almost solely destined for export. But the chief industry of Nancy is the making of straw hats, which once flourished all over Alsace, and after our defeats mirated to Nancy. In the town itself, as I saw during my late visit, most home workers are employed at making hats, while the large factories often employed as many as 3,000 work people—and two thirds of these were women. This trade, of which Nancy has the monopoly in France, has been a great loss for Germany, especially for the Rhine and Saar provinces, where, strangely enough, most of the towns continue to work for Nancy. The plaits, however, which serve to make straw hats, are quite an industry in themselves. In their raw state they come chiefly from China, and are sent to Italy and Switzerland for the bleaching process, whence they are imported into France, England, which is the chief intermediary, yearly imported half a million tons of plaits. But even here Nancy was making great progress before the war, and with groups which had formed in Lyons and Caussade was trying to make herself independent of both England and Switzerland. Straw Hat and Printing Press. The trade of straw hats gives rise to many others, for Nancy, after having received the raw material, turns out every kind of hat trimmed and ready for export, and for this accessories of all kinds are needed. What struck me most when I walked through the large workshops were thousands and thousands of bell-shaped hats, put one into the other, forming immense pyramids. It was the Panama hat, the light, white head cover which is so great a favorite and almost endless in its wear. These hats in their primitive state are the product of the Bourbon palm or latania, and are sent by the republic of Ecuador. The dressing of the Panama hats is one of the great industries of Nancy, and it is all the more important at the present time when our women have been compelled to take the place of men, for this is a light industry, well within their powers. The printing works of Berger-Levrault form one of the most interesting features of Nancy. They are famed not only all through France, but I may say the world. Here is the printing done of almost all the branches of the French government, and the proprietors are the publishers for the ministries of war, finance, police and many other departments, for which they provide millions of copies. Happiness That Satisfies Happiness is never more real, more satisfying, than when founded on clean-heartedness. The possessor of a clean conscience sees more beauty in the world around him, because he looks through clearer eyes. He has faith in his friends, because it is so easy for the one who is straight himself to believe the same of others. He gets the best out of life because he unconsciously attracts it. Right living, by whatever name you may call it, has its own reward right here on this earth of ours—Girls' Companion. A camp fire for cooking will burn with a steady glow if a small bag of charcoal is added to the wood after it has a good start. One successful camper builds his fire in a small trench about 18 inches long and a few inches wide and deep. Two flat stones placed across the top for the frying pan and kettle give an even heat. Meat, potatoes, corn and apples can be roasted by holding them over the fire on the ends of green, pointed sticks. An old newspaper is useful in starting the fire, and plenty of matches should be at hand.-World's Chronicle. Camp Fire Hints. HEARD and SEEN at the CAPITAL Snuff Boxes Show Unchanging Ways of the Senate WASHINGTON.—The senate still has customs that are almost as old as itself. It moves along in the same old way that it has moved for the last 100 years or so and apparently is satisfied to move in that way. Nothing is of the senate. Apparently in the old days it was quite the thing for a senator to take his pinch of snuff before he took his place in the senate. There is also an official "sharpener of the quill pens" for the senate. This man is so designated on the pay rolls and is carried there by the rules of the senate. For many years there never was a call for a quill pen in the senate until one day Senator Lodge of Massachusetts happened to go into the stationery room to ask for a quill pen. The men who originated the title of "sharpener of the quill pens" for the senate was Charles N. Richards. He has just completed his fifty-fifth year in the service of the senate. When he originally got his place as an employee of the senate it was during the Civil war, after he had been wounded and incapacitated while serving as a soldier in the Union army. He received a bayonet thrust through the jaw. There was not much for Richards to do around the senate, but certain senators wanted to be sure that he was taken care of, so the title of "sharpener of the quill pens" was invented. How Little Dottie Earned Her Four Gold Medals How Little Dottie Earned Her Four Gold Medals SHE was a sallow little girl in a white frock and blue sash. Her hair was curled in sleek tubes, and from her lace-insert yoke was suspended a black velvet ribbon, to which four gold medals were pinned. The little girl wore her most of us have to get along with none." The ramrooddy little girl smirked importantly, but she didn't answer for the very good reason that manma didn't give her the chance. "Tell the gentleman, darling—everybody says she's so modest about it—go on darling, tell the gentle—— "I wonnem in a ticket contest. I sold 42 ahead of all the others this year, and thenner sold——" Mamma had to cut in. She just couldn't help herself. "She takes the medal every year selling tickets for the annual festival—at school, you know. Of course, papa and I help her out among our friends, and the stores where I deal at regular—they always like to oblige their steady customers, you know, and they are so in-trusted in Dottie—— Her papa was sort of opposed to her going in, but when Dottie makes up her mind to a thing you can't stop her—and really she did most of the work herself, this year——" And if you will kindly take the trouble to consider the difficulties of ticket selling, you will agree that Dottie deserved her medals along with the soldier man, the life-saver and the student addicted to midnight oil.

"When you can see all the sky you want, and the tops of trees and other high-up things over your head, you sort of take the world as a matter of course, and keep on without paying much attention. But when you have to keep looking at the small things under your eyes they get to be lots of company—friendly like, you know. My granddaughter puts me up a lunch and I buy a bag of peanuts for the squirrels and some animal crackers for the children, and we have a pretty good time, all together——" "That's a fine scheme of yours, sir. I think I'll look into it myself. Also, it's a pretty good sermon." Then the everyday man went his way, and after a while he told it to a person who tabbed it down—like this. It is worth the telling, because to make the best of one's disabilities is a splendid thing. And a splendid thing is worth passing on. Also, the old man wasn't going to market. Which shows what appearance amounts to.

The war has brought many changes in the world, and it is certainly hoped that mere man will now take a tumble and let the uniform of the soldier suggest to him a new mode of dress. We see daily the trim figures of "our boys," with the neat-fitting uniform coat, baggy trousers to the knee and the leggings that so well set off the leg. Man's present dress is always a matter of ridicule, is unsightly and should be changed to something more sensible and economical. Let us build for Mr. Man a new kind of suit, a woman writes to the editor of the New York World. At first he will howl and say no, but if women will persevere and say you must, he will, and in the end be happy. First, his figure. The abdominal belt is man's only excuse for the corset. He wants it and he needs it far more than woman, and if only for support alone. Put him into a regular woman's corset of waistline height and long hip and reduce that ugly stomach several inches. He will not look fopplish, but will have that military cut we all admire. He will naturally feel ill at ease and compressed for a few days, but that will disappear and a feeling of real living will follow, for his lungs will expand, the muscles be tightly supported and vim replace langour. The corset was originally worn by men, so let us put them back into their own garment. Women are on the average far healthier than men, and they are daily incased in a corset. Now we have a figure to work on. Next, put him back into knee pants and long stockings. Is anything more becoming than the knickers of old days? Think of the cloth saved and that ugly bag in his long trousers forever eliminated. Then the coat tailored to curve to his figure, lapels a thing of the past, and instead the military collar effect. Coats to be cut shorter and vests done away with entirely. Think of the saving of cloth in the suit alone. Even his shirts, while in effect the same as now worn, could be shortened as in a woman's shirtwaist, and of far less material, so as to conform to a narrower figure. Make a change in his shoes and go back to the old colonial type of narrower lines and a higher heel. What is prettier than the old colonial shoe and buckle? Prevailing clotts would make up becomingly for business and street wear, but the possibilities for evening dress are unlimited. His evening clothes are hideous. Silken breeches, flowing waists, etc., lend untold possibilities at a dinner or function. And the comforts on a hot summer day. Let him have several pairs of white duck knickers and an array of shirts. White pumps and stockings to match, and thousands of yards of wool saved. And a far better dressed man in the bargain. Every man down in his heart wishes he could change to something more becoming and with greater possibilities of variety. And every man who reads this will fervently hope that someone will start the ball rolling, for he has not the nerve himself to captain the movement. Nine out of ten will quickly fall into line and dress accordingly and feel happy to think that someone started a dress reform. I trust the world will air a woman's views about man's dress and that wives and sweethearts will follow your lines and shame the man into a well-dressed being. Reforest Bare Hillsides. The scarcity of lumber for mine pillars and other mine uses has led to the creation of a forestry department by several of the large mining companies, one of which has just reforested Bear creek watershed with 5,000 white pine and 5,000 Norway spruce trees. Thirty thousand more trees are in process of cultivation at Hauto, Pa., in the Panther Creek valley. When timber is ready to cut in the vicinity of the mines troublesome waits and long hauls will be eliminated. More timber in the anthracite region would stop floods, add to the water supply, reduce the drought periods and enable the anthracite industry to add to its output. Many thousands of acres are available about the mines for reforestation. English Meat Cards. Meat can be purchased in metropolitan districts in England only under the card system, which is to be extended throughout the United Kingdom. The child's meat card is for children under ten years of age, who are entitled to only half as much meat as adults. Horse meat, bones, suet and offal are included among the products for the purchase of which cards are necessary. No one is exempt; even the royal family is on a meat-card basis. The rigidity of control may be judged from the fact that forgery of cards is punishable by heavy fine and that in case of death, the card must be surrendered before a burial permit is granted. WARRING on the RED CROSS ECENTLY we have had another record of German barbarity in the torpedoing of the hospital ship Rewa, made dramatic because the missile of destruction struck her where the red cross of mercy was painted on her side, as if it were a bull's-eye for just such murderous shots. I was speaking to a merchant ship captain about it and asked him why he had given up the command of a certain British hospital ship, a berth which to my landsman's eyes had seemed to be the easiest on the sea today in spite of instances like the Rewa. about it and asked him why he had given up the command of a certain British hospital ship, a berth which to my landsman's eyes had seemed to be the easiest on the sea today in spite of instances like the Rewa. He didn't look at me as he answered. He looked far out through his cabin port at the tower of the Woolworth building. He finally told me that in spite of the danger it was easier on him to take a merchant ship or a transport through the war zone than to have his heart torn asunder by the suffering of humanity he had seen on hospital ships; men gassed and writting in agony; men wounded or mutilated out of sheer devilry. Frightfulness—waste of manhood because the kaiser wanted to dominate the world—that's what he saw on a hospital ship; and when his ship of mercy, like the Rewa, was torpedoed without warning and he managed to beach her before she sank he simply went to pieces as have many hospital ship commanders before him. Every hospital ship sunk means that the allies must replace it with a ship which has been carrying food and munitions. That is Germany's game. Finding her submarine warfare was not succeeding as she had hoped, she lessens the tonnage of her enemies by fouler means still and covers up her dastardly motives by officially saying: "The German government can no longer suffer that the British government should forward troops and munitions to the main theater of war under cover of the Red Cross, and it therefore declares that from now on no enemy hospital ship will be allowed in the sea zone comprised between a line drawn from Flamborough Head to Terschelling on the one hand and Uushant and Land's End on the other. If in this sea zone after the expiry of the stated time any enemy hospital ship is encountered it will be considered as a vessel of war and it will be attacked without further ceremony." And knowing full well that no allied hospital ships were carrying either troops, munitions or anything which they shouldn't in their garb of mercy, Germany has lessened tonnage by slinking the hospital ship Britannic (50,000 tons), Asturias (11,400 tons), Gloucester Castle (7,999 tons), Donegal (1,997 tons), Salta (7,284 tons), Lanfranc (6,275 tons), Dover Castle (8,260 tons), Rewa (7,267 tons), Glenart Castle (9,000 tons), Llandovey Castle (10,000 tons), and others amounting to over 200,000 tons. He didn't look at me as he answered. He looked far out through his cabin port at the tower of the Woolworth building.

If in this sea zone after the expiry of the stated time any enemy hospital ship is encountered it will be considered as a vessel of war and it will be attacked without further ceremony." And knowing full well that no allied hospital ships were carrying either troops, munitions or anything which they shouldn't in their garb of mercy, Germany has lessened tonnage by skiming the hospital ship Britannia (50,000 tons), Asturias (11,400 tons), Gloucester Castle (7,999 tons), Donegal (1,997 tons), Salta (7,284 tons), Lanfranc (6,275 tons), Dover Castle (8,260 tons), Rewa (7,267 tons), Glenart Castle (9,000 tons), Llandovey Castle (10,000 tons), and others amounting to over 200,000 tons. Germany has already begun paving the way to lessen American tonnage by sinking our hospital ships whenever we get any. On May 1, 1918, she officially notified the world that "American aviators are crossing to Europe as members of the Red Cross on hospital ships. This misuse of the Red Cross appears from documentary evidence found on American aviators who have been shot down. An American brought down in the region of the army of General von Hutier carried a pass which referred to him as a member of the American ambulance for France. "American aviators are crossing to Europe as members of the Red Cross on hospital ships. This misuse of the Red Cross appears from documentary evidence found on American aviators who have been shot down. An American brought down in the region of the army of General von Hutier carried a pass which referred to him as a member of the American ambulance for France. "Prisoners openly admit that it is the general practice for aviators to enter American ambulance service for their passage to Europe and to cross on hospital ships. After they are landed in France they immediately transfer to the automobile corps and thence into the air service. "The captured aviator referred to had, however, transferred directly from the ambulance service into the air service. Another carried a certificate upon the dates of several transfers were officially indicated." Except for the naval hospital ship Solace and hospital yacht Surf attached to our fleet, and two Ward liners being converted into the hospital ships Comfort and Mercy, solely for the use of the navy and at this writing not yet in service, the United States has had no hospital ships at all. Consequently it would be impossible for American aviators to cross on such ships as Germany states they have. The aviators which Germany refers to as having crossed to France for Red Cross work crossed at their own expense on regular passenger ships before we entered the war and were driving neutral ambulances. When we entered the war, naturally they weren't going to return to the United States to enlist when they could enlist in their country's military forces in France and get at punishing the Hun earlier than the fellows at home. These captured American aviators Germany speaks about apparently had on them certificates of service they had rendered while driving American neutral ambulances. As usual, Germany has distorted the truth. In this instance she simply wishes to give a semblance of excuse for the attempts she is going to make to lessen the number of ships available to transport our boys overseas, because every hospital ship sunk has to be replaced with some ship in military or civil service. The first hospital ship the Huns sank was the Portugal, flying the Russian flag. She was anchored off Rizek, a Black sea port, when at about eight o'clock on the morning of March 17, 1916, a periscope was seen approaching. The Portugal had no wounded on board—simply her hospital staff, which included many nuns and her full crew. The Russian government had notified the central powers that the Portugal was a hospital ship and had obtained from them a recognition of her status. She was properly marked under the ruling of both the Hague and Geneva conventions. Of course, nobody thought for one instant that the submarine would attack the Portugal, and there was no panic until, when about 200 feet away, the submarine fired a torpedo which missed its mark. Then the beast circled around the anchored ship of mercy and fired a second torpedo at close range. The second missile struck the Portugal in the engine room. There was a terrific explosion within her and the hul) broke in two. The loss of life on the Portugal was 21 nuns, who were acting as nurses; 24 others of the Red Cross staff, as well as 21 of the Russian crew and 19 of the French, totaling 85, all of whom were ruthlessly murdered without any reason whatsoever. The next torpedoing of note was that of the new White Star liner Britannic, the largest British ship afloat and one which the Germans wished to remove from competing with their ships at the end of the war. The Britannic was sunk in the Egean sea, and that but 50 lives were lost out of the 1,100 wounded and large crew she had aboard is remarkable, considering she went down in 53 minutes. A German newspaper, the Kieler Zeitung, was the first to admit publicly that a torpedo and not a mine had caused the disaster, and further stated: "The Britannic was transporting fresh troops for our enemies. If she had not been doing so our submarine would never, of course, have torpeded her." On November 24, 1916, shortly after the Britannic was sunk, the British admiralty published a complete list of all persons on board. There were no troops. Germany continued her propaganda to dull the mind of the world as to her real intent in sinking hospital ships by asserting that she had conclusive proof that in several instances enemy hospital ships had often been misused for the transport of troops and munitions. Under the principles of the Geneva convention governing maritime war belligerents have the right to stop and search hospital ships. / Germany never utilized this right. Evidently it was easier to sink the ship outright and trust the world to believe the imperial German word. The big Asturias, commanded by Captain Laws, known to many Americans who traveled to Bermuda, had her first experience with a U-boat on February 1, 1915. She was the star hospital ship of the fleet, for at that time neither the Britannic nor Aquitania was doing hospital work. Only the prompt action of the second officer in turning the ship as he saw the torpedo saved her and the scores of wounded she had on board. Having made one miss at the Asturias, the Germans kept at it till they finally got her. The British admiralty announced the following: "The British hospital ship Asturias, while steaming with all navigating lights and with all the proper distinguishing Red Cross signs brilliantly illuminated, was torpedoed without warning on the THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1918. The Asturias didn't sink, although 43 died in the tragedy, including two women, and 80 were injured. The torpedo rendered her helpless, as her rudder had been carried away. Captain Laws drove the sinking ship for shoal water. As she was off the rocky shore of Cornwall, if he did succeed in beaching her the chances of saving the ship would be slight. All Captain Laws thought of was to get her somewhere where she wouldn't sink ere her wounded had been removed. As luck would have it, the Asturias took matters into her own hands and in the darkness missed a reef, rounded a headland and brought up on one of the few sandy beaches to be found along the Cornwall shore line. After three years in command of her, several times a week crossing the Channel and running the risk of mines, as well as seeing the agony of human beings he transported, Captain Laws, like many other hospital ship skippers, collapsed. He's made several attempts to go to sea again, but his nerve is gone.

He's made several attempts to go to sea again, but his nerve is gone. The nation responsible for the murder of Nurse Cavell accepted the Asturias incident with composure, if not with satisfaction. For the Germans stated blandly: "It would, moreover, be remarkable that the English in the case of the Asturias should have abstained from the customary procedure of using hospital ships for the transport of troops and munitions." The Asturias was returning from France. That is a sufficient answer to Germany. Ten days later the Gloucester Castle was torpedoed without warning in midchannel. All the wounded were successfully removed from the ship and the casualties were five medical officers, nine nursing sisters and 38 Royal Army Medical corps men. On April 11 the Berlin official wireless again cynically published a notification that the Gloucester Castle was torpedoed by a U-boat, thus removing any possible doubt in the matter. Then on April 17 the hospital ships Donegal and Lanfranc were sunk by U-boats. The British admiralty announced: "The Donegal carried slightly wounded cases, all British. Of these, 29 men, as well as 12 of the crew, are missing and presumed drowned. The Lanfranc, in addition to 234 wounded British officers and men, carried 167 wounded German prisoners, a medical personnel of 52 and a crew of 123. Of these the following are missing and presumed drowned: "The Donegal carried slightly wounded cases, all British. Of these, 29 men, as well as 12 of the crew, are missing and presumed drowned.

Of these the following are missing and presumed drowned: "Two wounded British officers. "Five crew. "Two wounded German officers. "Thirteen wounded German, other ranks. "One hundred and fifty-two wounded German prisoners were rescued by British patrol boats at the imminent risk of being themselves torpedoed." And then on the 26th of February they sank the Glenart Castle, bound from France to England. Yes, she carried troops, but they lay in white cots within the Glenart Castle's white sides. Nice chap, Fritz, for he'd agreed to respect hospital ships if they carried a Spanish officer to guarantee their Red Cross mission. The Glenart had her Spanlord and he too was nearly drowned in the catastrophe. One pleasing thing about the tragedy was that it gave an American destroyer, at the risk of being herself torpedoed, a chance to do a rescue work which makes the blood run faster in one's veins. The sea was vile and the destroyer couldn't launch a boat. Yet as she passed men clinging to wreckage—men too weak to catch the life-lines thrown to them—American seamen jumped overboard into icy water, swam to the poor devils and held them up till they could be rescued. Mr. Daniels, I'm glad to say, has fittingly rewarded such gallantry. "One hundred and fifty-two wounded German prisoners were resued by British patrol boats at the imminent risk of being themselves torpeded." And then on the 26th of February they sank the Glenart Castle, bound from France to England. Yes, she carried troops, but they lay in white cots within the Glenart Castle's white sides. Nice chap, Fritz, for he'd agreed to respect hospital ships if they carried a Spanish officer to guarantee that And shortly after the Glenart Castle the big Llandowey Castle, on mercy bent, was torpeded. She also carried a Spanish officer. I have a letter from an officer on the hospital ship Araguaya, which has been transferred from passenger and food service to the work of mercy to replace last hospital ships, and he tells me his ship is most particular about living up to the Geneva convention. No nurses are carried except those who make the round trip between England and Canada. For if Canadian nurses worked their passage home Germany might say they were troops. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1918.

MEMORY VERSE—We love because he first loved us.—I John 4:19. 1. How Lydia Began the Christian Life (vv. 18-15). Lydia was the first convert to Christ in Europe. Hers was a typical conversion. Note the steps therein: 1. Attendance at the place of prayer (v. 18). The accustomed place here was at the river side. The accustomed place today is in church. God can and does save men and women without any seeming connection with places of established worship, but he appears to most people at such places. The very fact that he has established and sustains churches here and there is an urgent call to all men and women to place themselves in the way of salvation. While no one can save himself, yet all can put themselves in the way of salvation by attending church, reading the Bible, etc. 2. Listening to the preaching of the Word of God (vy. 13, 14). Paul took advantage of the opportunity which was given him by the assemblage of this group of devoted women to preach Christ to them. He was alert for and prized highly the opportunity to tell the people about Christ. He knew also how perilous it was to neglect to witness for Christ at a time when unsaved people are together. The opportunity is God's call to preach Christ. 3. Her heart was opened by the Lord (v. 14). The individual may place himself in the way of salvation by coming near to the means of grace, and the preacher may preach the Word of God, but there is no hope of salvation until the heart is opened by the Lord (John 3:44, 45). While the salvation of every one is dependent upon this sovereign act of the Lord, yet we can be sure that he is willing at all times to do this for those who, like Lydia place themselves in the way of his saving grace. 4. She was baptized. (v. 15). 4. She was baptized. (v. 15). This ordinance follows belief in Christ. The invariable rule in the early church was for believers to be baptized. While there is no salvation in the water of baptism, yet hearty obedience should be rendered in this respect (Acts 2:38-41; 8:12; Mark 16:16). Lydia bled her household to Christ. This is as it should be. She showed signs of the new life, in that she expressed gratitude toward those who had been instrumental in her conversion (v. 15) by constraining them to share the hospitality of her home. II. How the Philippian Jailer Began the Christian Life (vv. 25-34). The casting out of the spirit of divination from the damsel landed Paul and Silas in prison. The pain of bleeding backs, and of feet in stocks, kept them from sleeping; but not from praying and singing. The Lord heard their prayers and sent an earthquake which shook the jail, opened the doors of the prison, and loosed the bonds from the prisoners' hands. (1) Visitation of the supernatural (vv. 27-29). The jailer was awakened from his sleep by the earthquake. This earthquake was unusual in that it loosed the bonds from the prisoners' hands. In his desperation the jailer was about to commit suicide. This was averted by Paul's assurance that all were safe. The fact that the doors were opened and the prisoners free and yet no one escaped, showed him that something unusual had occurred. Therefore, he came trembling and prostrated himself before Paul and Silas. (2) The great question (v. 30). In the presence of the supernatural he cried out, "What must I do to be saved?" One's salvation is not far off when he utters this cry with sincerity. (3) The vital answer (vv. 31-32). "Belleve on the Lord Jesus Christ," is the only way to be saved. (Acts 4:12). Though the way of salvation is restricted, it is simple and easy. No one who has believed on Christ has failed to receive it. The jailer's faith was not blind faith, for they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. They were taught the meaning of belief in Christ. (4) The evidence of a transformed life (vv. 33, 34). (a) He was baptized (v. 33). As soon as one believes on Christ he wants to be baptized. (b) He tenderly washed the stripes of Paul and Silas, showing that he was no longer the brutal jailer (v. 34). (c) He rejoiced (v. 34). The one who really accepts Christ is filled with joy. (d) A transformed home (v. 34). He believed on Christ and was baptized, and his household. Practical Garb for Outdooring GOLF Caprices and Conceits in Veils THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY There are middies, smocks, sweaters and coats for outdooring, that is, for all sorts of sport and recreation wear. And their comrades are skirts, bloomers or breeches, according to the sort of service to be required of them. For tennis and golf, skirts that will wash again and again and come out as fresh and unfaded as when they were new, have not been rivaled as yet by bloomers or breeches—for some other sports, skirts are a thing of the past. With these washable skirts plain blouses are worn and swagger little coats made of summer flannel, serge or other materials—and, of course, sweater or sweater coats. The coat's the thing this year, that has almost absorbed the attention of those who specialize in designing sport clothes. And it has been presented in a variety of new styles so that when it is slipped on over a skirt and blouse it tones up the costume, lending it neatness. Sleeveless coats of satin and velvet were among these new ideas and have proved themselves successful. Among new arrivals Caprices and Why the veil? Merely masculine minds will never figure out the answer although they will have the rest of time to ponder the question. Veils were and are and will continue to be. They are a strictly feminine institution and whether they are worn to add charm to the face or to call attention to charms already there, or for some other reason, these are mysteries only the veiled lady can solve for us. But they make opportunity for capricious ornamentation and for variety—two very good reasons for the loyalty with which women favor them. New face veils this summer are nearly all woven with a large mesh; the hexagon-shaped mesh appears to be best liked. Two examples of this particular weave are shown at the left of the picture. They are circular and float about the face. The veil at the top indulges in the caprice of little and big chenille dots and little pasted-on velvet leaves, all of them dancing in all the wayward wandering breezes they chance to meet. A few dots splattered over a lovely chin, make us think twice of its delicious curves. A silk scroll wanders in the most almess and happy-go-lucky way over the veil below, but it just misses the eyes and just hits a very alluring pair of lips, which goes to prove that a veil should be taken seriously and adjusted with care. At the left appears the "war bride" veil—one of the small consolations allowed to the girl whose sweetheart is away in the service of his country. It is of navy blue chiffon and is draped about a navy blue or navy blue and white turban. This one is finished with a narrow silk fringe, but most of the simple but swagger little coat shown in the picture, need not fear comparison with coats of more costly goods—it has some points of advantage over them. It is made of summer funnel in any of the gay bright colors and touched up with white in pearl buttons, pique collar and arrow-head finish of pockets. Just the skirt for this coat is shown with it. It is of heavy white plique and fastens at the middle of the front where a row of white pearl buttons finishes the overlapped seam. There are any number of sport hats that will top off this practical and pretty outfit. But its youthful wearer has chosen a tam of white corduroy, one of the "blue devil" models that embodies much dash. Its long tassel matches the coat in color. Where something more dignified is needed, for an older woman, one of the coconut braids in white embroidered with yarn or silk flowers against the crown, would make a good choice, and there is the perennial Panama with handsome band or scarf that belongs to all summers. Conceits in Veils them are simply hemmed. They are probably destined to a short-lived popularity—but they are very charming. Veils should be tried on and selected carefully as hats are, for some faces look best under a plain, close mesh without figures. Scrolls or dots or other figures in front of the eyes, are never plensing; they look and are uncomfortable. Julia Bottmanley The Isabella Color. Once a Spanish princess vowed not to change her lingerie till a certain war was won, and as that took many months, the result was that fashionable Spanish ladies of the time, who looked to this princess for leadership in the matter of dress, soon came to adopt a yellowish-brown sort of linen for their 'kerchiefs, tuckers, wimples and other similar apparel. The princess' name was Isabella, and this fashionable shade was known as Isabella color, and one occasionally hears this name applied in Paris even to this day to a sort of yellowish-brown that really does look like linen that had been dedicated to a laundryless existence. Although we have had every shade of lingerie, we have not yet had this color. The next thing to it, and something that surely wouldn't appeal to all womankind, is the new lingerie of nickel-gray that has been put on the shelves of one or two of the exclusive women's shops. There is a complete set of this gray underwear in crepe de chine. THE TRUMPET WOMAN ZORAH CHAPTER No. 25 Presents MRS.

AMONG THE CHURCHES The services were the greatest financially in the history of the Church; also the greatest in the way of fellowship. Five Christian congregations were represented in the services during the day. Although several members of the Church were absent and some absolutely slackers, those who were in the trenches never made a harder or better fight to "Go Over the Top" in the morning service. In the afternoon Allen Chapel led by its pastor and Dr. T. C. Unthank and Secretary Harris, Centenniel M. E. Church led by Rev. Overton; First Christian Church, Kansas City, Kansas, led by their pastor and Brothers Frank Bush and Joe Willis; the Third Christian church led by their pastor and Brothers Ellis and Bouguer came in an reinforcement and a terrible battle took place in the afterfoon. Brother Wm. H. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel was in command of the Allied forces and gave the charge in a very forceful, practical way that carried courage and determination to many hearts. As a Methodist General, he said some truly wonderful things that touched and moved the red blood in Christian soldiers and the battle was truly the Lord's. It was said the amount of the collection went beyond all expectation except the pastor's. At the evening service Brother Wm. H. Vanderzee of Topeka, brought us a rich gospel message.
