WILL GRIZZARD SHOT. Mr. William Grizzard, the well known saloon keeper near 12th and Highland, was shot by his wife on Wednesday but not seriously injured, the ball passing through his arm. He was taken to Wheatley-Provident Hospital where he was attended by Dr. J. E. Perry and then removed to his home, 910 Euclid avenue. At this time he seems to be improving rapidly. Our reporter was unable to ascertain the cause leading up to the trouble. DR. M. L. LAMBRIGHT. The above is an excellent likeness of Dr. Middleton H. Lambright, one of Kansas City's pioneer physicians and the manager of the popular People's Drug Store, 18th and Paseo. Aggressive in disposition, quick to action, and determined in purpose the Sun has no hesitancy in saying that no man in all Kansas City has more persistently and earnestly worked for the fulfillment of the dream of a new modern and comfortable hospital for Negroes in this city than Dr. Lambright, nor has any man with less pomp and blowing of trumpets performed more deeds of kindness or given more charitable medical attention to the suffering and poor of the race than he. To know Dr. Lambright is to admire his sound judgment and sterling qualities. Conscious at all times that his word is worth one hundred cents on the dollar and his business integrity is absolutely unquestionable, his myriad friends point to him with pride as one of Kansas City's foremost citizens of color. SOUTHWEST MISSOURI CONFERENCE. The Southwest Missouri Conference concluded the most enthusiastic and successful session in its history last Sunday night when at 12:00 o'clock read the appointments for the ensuing year to an audience of more than two thousand people who packed every part of the great Auditorium. Some little excitement was occasioned when Rev. W. T. Osborne, who was pastor at Ebenezer during the past year, was transferred to the Puget Sound Conference; but the appointment was reconsidered on Monday at the earnest and prayerful request of a large part of the membership of Ebenezer and he was returned to his old charge for another year. The following ministers were transferred: Rev. S. L. Brooks to Presiding Elder St. Joseph District North Missouri Conference. Rev. T. A. Wilson to the Kansas Conference and station at Pittsburg. Rev. O. H. Burbridge to the Kansas Conference and statified at Salina. Rev. A. J. Bell to the Puget Sound Conference and stationed at Boise City, Idaho. Rev. C. D.

That the Negro soldiers in France are doing their full duty is a fact which even the most rabid Negrobalter cannot deny. But the grudging nature of the compliments they receive through certain American newspapers is distinctly noticeable. The Kansas City Star of Sunday, October 6, carries an article by the Associated Press which reflects the utmost discredit upon the Associated Press correspondent. Speaking of the Negro soldiers under fire, the correspondent says: "They have shown a fearlessness amounting to almost utter indifference if their white officers are with them—a carelessness where personal danger is invalued, etc." Ye Gods! Do you get that—"If their white officers are with them." That statement insults the patriotism of the Negro race. It spits in the face of every brave black boy who on the battle fields of France is offering up his life for his country. The insinuation is plain. It is this—that the bravery shown by the Negro boys in France is not due to any nobility inherent in their character or ideals, but solely to the presence of "white officers." This is the plainest and most contemptible sort of lying. A lie that is told for the purpose of robing a brave man of his due is the most wicked and the most dastardly that it is possible to tell. That vicious lie, flashed over the wires at this time, is only the offspring of an older lie which has now become a matter of tradition. That older and traditional is this: "Negro soldiers will not fight well except under the leadership of white officers." This lie was born of race prejudice. The only reason on earth for refusing to promote Negroes to high military command is the feeling that such would be honoring a Negro too highly. There is not the slightest proof that Negro soldiers would fight any less bravely under the Negro officers than under white officers. The probability is that the opportunity to win their way to the top would inspire them as it does the white soldier and would cause them to fight even more bravely. It surely stimulates a man to know that his utmost effort will be thoroughly appreciated and duly rewarded. In this stressful period of Democracy and Idealism, when every loyal American, black and white, is willing and anxious to offer his ALL on the altar of his country's freedom the correspondent of the Associated Press has struck a painfully reactionary and discordant note. We are moving forward towards a real Democracy, not backwards towards a sham Democracy. The Colored men at the K. C. Railways Co.

(Explanation of Chart) Since *913 farmers have been receiving for their wheat a gradually increasing proportion of the price paid by the consumer for bread. The amount received by the wheat grower for his contribution to the average pound has increased from less than $1\frac{1}{2}$ cent per loaf in 1913 to more than $3\frac{1}{2}$ cents early this year. The proportion to the whole price is shown by the relative length of the black columns of the chart. The middle portion of each column shows what the miller received for his milling costs and profit. This HARRISON RHODES ON "THE NE- GRO AND THE WAR." Harrison Rhodes, one of America's keenest observers and most incisive writers, has an article number of the Metropolitan Magazine on "The Negro and the War," which should be carefully read and digested by every citizen of the Republic, white and black. Mr. Rhodes places around his statistics and historic data a virile body, calculated to stir the red blood of all 100 per cent Americans, and envelop the whole in a frame-work of philosophic deduction that analyses the emotions, sentiments and aspirations which are impelling the 12,000,000 Negroes of the country to fight to a fin OF A POUND LOAF OF BREAD 10 CENTS 11% 48% 52% 49% 14% 7% 6% 38% 41% 45% 1916 1917 FIRST HALF. 1917 LAST HALF. 1918 FIRST HALF. has been a somewhat variable factor, but is now at the minimum (6%). In this 6%, however, is included the cost of the containers (bags, sacks, etc.) shown as dotted area which has increased very nearly in proportion to the price of bread itself. Bags now cost about 50 per cent more than in 1913 and 1914. The shaded portion of the column represents the expense of distributing the flour, making it into bread and getting the loaf to the consumer. The chart shows that the farmer is now receiving a much larger share of the final price for his product than in the past, and that a considerable amount of "spread" has been taken out of other expenses. ish along with their brethren in white, the battle for world-democracy. One of the outstanding features of the article is an extract from a letter to Mr. Emmet J. Scott of the War Department, in which the commanding officer of one of the first regiments to see active service in France, describes the manner in which the Colorado soldiers of his regiment conducted themselves in their initial bapism of fire and the happy impression they have made upon the broad-minded people of the French Republic. Mr. Rhodes' contribution to the October Metropolitan is admirable from every point of view. He has secured a dignified and serious hearing for the Negro people and the 300,000 and more Negro soldiers of the Republic before an influential clientele. A CASE IN EQUITY. The Negro has but one purpose in the present national crisis and that is to win the war and win it fully, without any sort of compromised peace or bargain at the peace table. He is agreed and fully subscribes to the program of the nation and gives his last ounce of devotion without quiver or question to the end that the Huns may be driven to their knees and that the world shall be made safe for all times. We answered the call of the first draft with an alacrity that dumbo founded our enemies and brought our friends to their tiptoes. We supplied our quota and more. The only complaint that has arisen from these loyal and faithful Negroes is that more of them have not been able to face the enemy in the very thickest of the fight. So anxious were our boys for the fray that they spurned the positions that were practically free from danger. They much preferred the spot where bullets thickest fly. In the draft that is now under way we will respond in like manner as we did in the first draft, and we are glad of the chance. But in all this we are frank to say that we are just men enough to be like other men and desire for ourselves, as well as for our posterity, every advantage that comes to men who offer themselves willingly on the altar of our national life. In the first draft we received something like 1,000 officers, when our quota, figuring on a rough basis, would have been something like 6,000. These officers in the line were from the rank of Second Lieutenant to that of Captain. Even in this we have not made very large progress, from the recognition given colored troops in the Civil War, for even at that time there were Negroes commissioned to the rank of Captain. The Negroes in this country, and we speak now not of a small segment but for the race of twelve million, feel that the minimum request is that they should have every line officer up to the rank of Captain. The 1,000 officers who were given us in the first draft have made good. The Negro regiment that was decorated in its entirety on the Western front for its bravery was led by colored officers. And whenever colored officers have been placed in direct charge of troops they have had a racial pride, as well as a national pride, to defend, and they did. On the other hand, when our qualified men are set aside and men of other races are put over our troops, our troops may fight, but they do not fight with the enthusiasm that they would if their own men were given a chance. So that in the interest of morale, as well as the efficiency of our Army, we are asking that in this second draft we shall have our pro rata of line officers, at least to the rank of Captain, if not further. It would seem that the equity in the case would insist upon this. We know thoroughly well that it is the desire of our Negro population. Touch any element of our racial life and propound the question of "Are line officers desired?" and there is but one answer. If the French government can commission Negro men all the way up to the rank of General, why should America lag behind when we have millions of the best Negro population of the world? We have no reason to doubt but that the government will give us another such training camp as we had at Fort Des Moines, if not a training camp then any provision to its liking that will furnish to the Negro troops of the second draft our quota of line officers, both for the inspiration of our troops and the race in its entirety, as well as for the efficiency of our troops, and furthermore as a recognition of our enthusiastic loyalty to the nation in this time of its awful crisis. We are calling attention to this fact because there are forces already at work to give us as few line officers as possible. If such a propaganda succeeds it will be at the expense of the efficiency of our Army and in the interest of personal and racial advancement. The equity in the case justifies the expectation that our hopes will be realized and that our capable men of training and of leader ship shall be called to those places of honor and of trust, and they will make good. There has gone to the scrap heap, never to be resurrected, that infamous lie that Negroes cannot be led by Negroes, that the rank and file do not respond to the leadership of their own. Every concrete example in the life of our race is to the contrary. In commercial, in industrial, in educational, in all the walks of our racial life, where Negroes of ability, of character, of force and of leadership have been put in command of a segment of our people there has always been a larger response and fuller results. The entire race sits up in expectancy for the announcement any day that provision has been made by which we shall be given our rightful quota of line officers. Are we to be disappointed? WHEATLEY-PROVIDENT HOSPITAL MOVES NEXT WEEK. The Board of Managers have urged the Superintendent and Hospital attendants of the New Wheatley-Provident Hospital to be ready to move into the new building early next week and the ladies of the Hospital Auxiliary No. 1 are preparing to give a reception and serve an old-fashioned southern dinner to the public on the date of the formal opening, which will be announced in due time. The Sun regrets exceedingly that it failed to announce the fact at the dedication that among the Colored women's organizations that first contributed to the Hospital Fund was the Wheatley Art Club, one of the oldest and most prominent organizations in the city, of which Miss Frances E. Howard is president; and not only did they give the first Liberty Bond, but have worked continuously for the completion of the institution. The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of Mysterious Tens, who are raising a twenty-five cent per capita fund, announced more than six hundred dollars so far, and are still coming in. Every organization in the city has fulfilled its obligation save the Masonia fraternity, which as yet has not been able to decide just what it is going to do. Payment of pledges still continues and the Board earnestly urges all those who have not paid their pledges to do so at once, as those who have not paid and show no inclination to do so shall have suits filed against them in the courts of the city within the next thirty days. The following per- sons have paid in full since the last publication: $25.00— Dr. William A. Love, Dr. E. S. Lee. $10.00— Miss Ella Paisley. $5.00—Mr. Leo M. Gilday, Mr. James L. Gillam. NOTE INDORSED BY ALLIES Complete Accord With President Wilson's Answer to German Chancellor Expressed in London. London, Oct. 10.—The press association has issued an authoritative statement that the foreign office has received the text of President Wilson's note to Germany and that all the Allies are in complete accord in the matter. It adds: "The fall of the Turkish cabinet has great significance. It is not doubted that Turkey apprised Berlin of her intention to seek peace and Germany sought to stave off such a development by an attempt to seek a general, instead of a partial, settlement." Hold 1.480 Yanks Prisoners. Washington, Oct. 8.—Members of the American Expeditionary Forces who have been identified as prisoners of war in Germany numbered 1,480 on October 5, said an announcement today from the office of the adjutant general of the army. In addition, 220 civilians interned in Germany have been identified as have sixty-one sailors held in Constantinople. Plane Carried a Piano! Paris, Oct. 10.—One of the new large Allied bombing planes, to demonstrate its carrying capacity, has brought from London to Paris a full-sized upright piano. The airplane is capable of carrying six persons and much bombing explosives. We have many calls each week for houses and rooms of all descriptions.

Following a dispute in the grocery store of Pete and Joe Digiorami, 5th and Gillis streets, last Wednesday night, Mrs. Ella Smith, 531 Tracy avenue, and her 16-year-old daughter, Fay Smith, were fatally shot. Joe Digiorami, who did the shooting, became angered because the women refused to accept some goods which he wanted to sell them. He is being held at Police Headquarters. PROF. JOE E. HERRIFORD PROF. JOE E. HERRIFORD The brilliant and erudite principal of the W. W. Yates School, who was on the original Wheatley-Provident Hospital Board and who has given valuable service to this institution ever since its inception and who has raised among the Knights and Daughters of Tabor a large sum for the equipment of the new building. HUN WAB MACHINE BREAKING German Request for Armistice Believed to be Result of Slowly Disintegrating Military Organization. Washington, Oct. 10.—Germany's plea for an armistice is founded, both American and Allied military officers here believe, upon recognition in Berlin of the fact that the German army organization in France is slowly disintegrating under the terrific campaign of Marshal Foch. These officers believe the move of the German chancellor is a desperate eleventh hour attempt to escape serious military disaster and they would not be surprised if President Wilson's condition that there can be no talk of an armistice except when coupled with agreement to withdraw immediately from all invaded territory were promptly accepted. The answer to such a move, it was suggested today, would be to leave to Marshal Foch the dictation of the terms of the armistice, should the situation ever reach that stage, as the supreme commander can be trusted to see that no military advantage to the enemy resulted. In the meantime, Marshal Foch, hour by hour, is surrounding the German forces with new perils as his strategic conceptions are developed. Evidence of the waning resisting power of the German forces in France was plannly seen by observers here in the sweep forward of the Anglo-American forces north of St. Quentin. Apparently there had been no material lowering of the fighting quality of the enemy soldiers but there is every evidence that the complex military organization upon which defense of the long battle front depends, is breaking under the strain. Signs of confusion have been noted repeatedly. Worn out divisions have been called upon to check the assaults of fresh Allied troops and have been cut to pieces. These are signs only, for the enemy front still offers a grim obstacle to the advancing armies and the battle is growing daily in fury instead of lessening. But the signs are there. They mean a vital weakness at the heart of the great machine; the absolute lack of the men and war equipment to meet the combined assault indefinitely. ewe eee —eeoec—oceeesoeeeeaeeeeere—_lllNeS———D—e—oaS—S———-SS SoS SS SS — ——aaw— F Oo Fo eign Correspondents Se ee aaa ace pinenaeeegslasaetas celia eieean ences pear ee aamaaoneanne WEIR, KANS. | Mo, where he was living.

THE CLEARING HOUSE OF MISERY O UTSIDE the railroad station at Evian- les-Bains they had gathered together, a group of some 50 or 60. They were women and children, with a scatter- ing of old men. Each bore a tag printed in German and with a large number on it. Some carried bundles, others were empty-handed; their clothing was nondescript. Their faces were drawn and pinched in the evening sun that came over the waters of the lake of Geneva, and the children among them clung to the knees of the women in that pitiful, frightened way so many children of France have of doing these days. Inside the station I could hear the Chasseurs Alpins, three drummers and three buglers, loudly playing "Le Savoyard." There were some cheers as the band, leading the main body of the convoy which had just come in from Switzerland, marched out through the station to join the group I was watching. Great camions of the American Red Cross stood waiting to receive the infirm among them. Otherwise it was very quiet, not at all the scene I had expected to find here. There were some women and children in the group who fascinated me by their dazed, hopeless expression—the still, numb way in which they stood, almost trembling, it seemed to me. I turned my camera toward them to take a picture, when, as they caught sight of my action, there was a cry from them. A very old woman raised her shrivelled hand and tried to hide her face from the lens. The children shrunk further into the folds of their women folks' skirts, and an old man gasped: "For the Prussian. He is going to send our pictures back to the Prussians, and they —" A Red Cross nurse at my side explained that I did not wish to do any such thing—that they were safe back in France, their France, again, and that the Prussians could never touch them. She point- ed to the arch across the street, a few feet away, through which they would soon pass, with the American and French flags intertwined and the motto in big scrawly letters, "Soyes les Bienvenus." She explained that I was an American. They seemed to understand, and their faces lighted up, for this was in early June, and even these pitiful ones, who had been where little news had reached them for nearly four years, knew that the Americans were in France in good numbers now, and were their allies. So the group ceased to shrink from my camera. A woman even thrust her child forward and smoothed its hair so that it would look well in the picture. But, just as I was about to snap the shutter, another woman in the group, standing a little back, looked at me with an expression that was full of condemnation, full of appeal, as she said: "Yes, my friends, let us stand up straight, so that he can get a good photograph of misery!" Then she laughed bitterly, and I—well, I did not take the picture. At this moment the rest of the convoy began to come out of the station, led by the Chasseurs' little band. With them came Red Cross men and nurses, carrying or helping those who could not walk into the waiting camions and ambulances. I put up my camera and hurried ahead to reach the casino, whither the procession was bound, before their arrival there. Someone struck up "La Marseillaise," some woman with a high, shrill voice. As I climbed upon the front seat of an ambulance and we started to pass the crowd I thought for a moment that I was now going to see, going to hear, what I had come up from Paris for—the glad burst of enthusiasm, of happiness from these people now that they fully realized that they were in France, among their own, free from the German yoke, which had lain on their necks since 1914. But as our ambulance went by the procession there were no other voices raised to join that of the singing woman, and after a few bars she, too, stopped singing and the procession went on, silent, shuffling, except for some small boys, town boys, who trudged ahead of the Chasseurs, still playing their tune on drum and burgle. I reached the casino ahead of the procession and waited at the door for them to come down the Rue du Casino. The narrow, steep street was crowded along its sidewalks with townspeople, and from windows was funging the tricolor, while the American flag waved here and there, too. As the procession came around the head of the street the people hailed it with cheers and the waving of flags. The Chasseurs played more loudly—now it was "Vive l'Armee" they were tooting. A few of the children raised their heads and looked with glad eyes on the enthusiastic natives who were trying so hard to cheer them home. An old man in the procession straightened up and shouted, "Vive le General Joffre." But otherwise there were no cheers, no thrills of happiness, nor anything but just that down-bent attitude, that shuffling walk, that dazed, whipped, cowed expression. It was, as the woman at the station, had said, misery. For Evlan is the clearing house of misery these days. It was not so at first, the American Red Cross doctor told me, and so the subprefect of the department of the Haute-Savole also assured me. "Which is why we make such a great effort to cheer them as they come in nowadays," he said. "They are crushed, these people; they are like dend men and women, and the children, even the little ones, are scarcely alive to the situation. Free from Germany once more? They cannot believe it—there is scarcely enough strength left in their poor minds and bodies for them to be able to understand." "Yes," added the Red Cross doctor, pointing out a girl of eighteen or nineteen who passed; "look at the expression on the face of that girl." I looked. I caught here eye as she turned in my di- AMEN FROM RETURNING EXILES IN RAILROAD STATION AT EVIAN ARING + MISERY ANAEMIC CHILDREN ON BALCONY OF EVIAN HOSPITAL rection, but I do not think she saw me at all, or saw anything. Her face was blank for a moment, then, as in looking aside she nearly collided with someone ahead of her, she shrunk from him with a sort of cry, as if she had expected to be beaten down. We followed the procession into the large hall, now, where the people of Evian greet these homecomers, and where, at long tables, they feed them. Over the balcony hung the flags of the allies, with the French and American closely intertwined. The people were placed at the tables, numbly obeying the Red Cross nurses who flitted about assisting them. They ate the food which was set before them without a word. As they ate and drank—there was some 850 of these people—I walked about with the Red Cross doctor and studied their faces, their demeanor. Occasionally as one saw us he or she smiled, but for the most part it was like walking through the halls of an asylum for the mentally deficient—the eyes were dazed, the expression empty, vacant. By now some young women had passed among the crowd giving to each a little French flag. I noticed a boy of about twenty, tall, well put together. The girl had to thrust the flag into his hand and explain to him what it was. "That boy hasn't always been an idiot, I would say offhand," said the doctor at my side. "He looks beaten, whipped. That's the sort they are sending back to us, nowadays." The boy still holds the flag, looking at it as if trying to recall where he had seen that combination of colors before. I recollected that he would have been about fifteen or sixteen when the war broke out, when he, with these others and so many thousands like them, were caught in that first southward rush of the German horde through the towns of northern France. The subprefect was mounting the platform to speak to the diners. The Chasseurs played their tunes loudly. The the subprefect began to talk to them. He told them they were safe among their friends once more, that never again would they be slaves of Germany, that homes would be found for them and an effort made to find the friends and relatives whom they had not seen nor even heard from for four years. He told them that France soon would conquer, that she was now joined by America with her millions of young men, and then he gave the signal for the band to start the "Marseillaise." This it did. As the first notes were heard some of the faces lighted up. There was an effort to sing the wonderful song, and after a fashion it succeeded. But though before the refrain had been finished there were many voices hushed, many hands that could not wave the little French flags—for a moment patriotism, love of country, hope and trust had been awakened. A few minutes later I followed the Red Cross doctor into the big room where he examines every child who comes into Evian with these convoys of repatriated people. So far he THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1918. AMERICAN RED CROSS WORKER ASSISTING REPATRIATED FRENCH CITIZENS TO SECURE CLOTHING has examined nearly 50,000. I saw 280 little children examined. They ranged in age from three to twelve years, and of them all there were barely more than 50 per cent whom he could pass as being even fairly well nourished. "They have been fed mostly on turnips and black bread for months," he explained, "and with each convoy there are more undernourished ones and more like this little fellow." He indicated a thin wisp of a boy—he was ten years of age—it was tuberculosis. This explains, furthermore, why the American Red Cross hospital, as a part of its war burden, has been obliged to extend its work into the foundation and maintenance of homes, here, there and everywhere throughout France, for these unfortunates whom Germany is sending back by the hundreds of thousands. For they are unable to work, unable to make their own homes, and the civilian population of France, bent double with the pack of its own problems, has been increasingly powerless to cope with this, Germany's insidious effort to break the morale of France. It was all new to me when I went up to Evian from Paris to see the repatriates come in. I had heard of how Germany had begun sending them back in 1916, and how, as the numbers of them increased, the American Red Cross stepped in and undertook to look out for the sick children, finally extending its work to caring for the hundreds of tuberculous women whom Germany returned to France. But I had heard, also, of how the repatriates, sent through Switzerland by the Germans arrived at Evian, singing, kneeling down and kissing the soil of France and gladly taking up their share of their country's work in factories and on farms. I had looked for a scene of joy at the station there in Evian, for cheers and heart-thrills at the casino. Here was a people being returned to the country that it belonged to; here were banners of welcome, here were hands and hearts open to it. But I had seen something entirely different, and when I inquired it was explained to me. "It is plainly," I was told, "part of the German plan of breaking down French morale, of destroying the efficiency of the American Red Cross, which it has learned is doing such a large part in the work of handling repatriates. "At the same time that Germany is hurling her big shells into Paris by day and air raiding it by night; at the same time that she is driving refugees by the thousands from their homes in towns along the line of her proposed advance; at the same time she is filling the hospitals with wounded French and American soldiers, taxing the equipment of the American Red Cross to the limit, as she believes, she has tried a new trick during this offensive. "If this is not so, how can it be accounted for that each succeeding trainload of repatriates is larger, contains more sick and completely used up individuals than the previous one? How can you account for the large number of young women with babies born in Germany since they were taken there—babies whose fathers may be German, but whose identity will ever remain a mystery—which are unloaded on us every day?" Even at that it seemed rather a difficult task. These people who were coming in—I saw several trainloads of them—seemed such hopeless things. What could be done with them? What a burden they would be on the French! How little result there would be from anything done for them or with them! "That is far from being the case," I was told. "They respond in an incredibly short time to all we do for them. Their health improves, their minds clear. From being liabilities they soon become assets. Germany sends these people in, wrecks, so cowed, so starved, that they can scarcely tell where they have been, what has happened to them in the years of their slavery in the mines, the mills, the fields of their captor country, Tuberculosis seems to have a firm grip on many of them, and the children are filled with the germs of contagious diseases. But either by happy ability of the French to rise under difficulties, or the joy of finding themselves back in their own land, the rapidity with which they rally, the quickness with which their minds clear, is remarkable." A French woman, in charge of the casino vestiaire at Evan, where clothing is found for these unfortunates, said: "The more they send, the better we like it. We can care for all, with the help of our friends, the Americans. And the faster they send them back, though their coming so fast unquestionably taxes our resources to the utmost, the more quickly will France get back her own people." (By REV. P. B. FFTZWATER. D.

ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS—Genesis 12:10-14; 24; 18:16-32; 19:29. I. Abram and Lot Return From Egypt (vv. 1-4). Abram went into Egypt because of a famine. No doubt the famine was sent in judgment for the sins of the people, but also for Abram's sake. He needed the graces of his heart developed. He needed to be taught the weakness of his own heart, and the faithfulness of God. The child of God is not promised exemption from trials, but grace sufficient to endure them. Abram failed. In the midst of his trials he went off to Egypt without God's direction, where he got into trouble. To take one's own way always brings him into trouble. His expedition to save his life was unworthy of Abram. He lied, and a lie is never justifiable. It is much better to die than to lie. Abram by prevarication deceived the king, but as soon as the truth was known he was thrust out. Though Abram had strayed from the pathway of faith, he had the good sense to go "unto the place where his tent had been in the beginning, where the altar was." This showed that he was willing to confess his mistake, and begin life over again. This Egypt experience was a loss spiritually to Abram, though he became rich there. Increase of riches is no sign that a man is in fellowship with God. II. Abram and Lot Separate (vv. 5-11). The goods of both Abram and Lot greatly increased. When they attempted to settle down, trouble arose between their herdsmen. This is the first record of trouble between relatives over financial matters. Riches often interfere with friendship. They kindle jealousy and strife between men. They engender greed and selfishness in men. Many times members of the same family are estranged from each other through strife for wealth. For the chosen of God thus to quarrel is utter folly and criminal, especially when the enemy of the Lord's people looks on. "The Canaanite and the Perizite dwelt then in the land" (v. 7). It is bad enough for God's children to quarrel, but to do so in the presence of the world which delights therein is greatly to sin. Abram's behavior is a fine example of the art of living together peaceably. The disgraceful situation was relieved by a generous proposition from Abram. Lot was allowed his choice. Separation is sometimes necessary. Separation he owed all to Abram, his selfish heart caused him to grasp for the best. Lot's action shows that his stay in Egypt was ruinous to him. Perhaps he chose the plains of the Jordan because of their resemblance to Egypt. One cannot go into Egypt without being affected by it. This was a fatal choice for Lot. The motive actuating him was worldly advantage. Though he for awhile prospered, it was an expensive undertaking for him. Lot with all his goods was taken away when the confederate kings came against Sodom. He is an example of one saved so as by fire (I Cor. 3:11-15). He set his affections upon earthly things, and the time came when he had to separate from them. The world and its lusts pass away, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever (I John 2:15-17). Lot was not wholly corrupt; he was a man who allowed the world to get the better of him. Once his money and his family were in Sodom he simply endured the wickedness, longing to escape from it (II Peter 2:6-8). III. Abram Delivers Lot (Genesis 14:14-16). Though Lot's trouble was the result of his selfish choice, Abram's magnanimity of soul expressed itself, taking up arms to deliver him from the oppressor. This was because Abram was a man of faith. Faith trusts God and fights for the right. While Lot suffered from his evil choice, Abram was greatly prospered. He grew rich in temporal things, while at the same time he was rich toward God. It were much better to have God and a poor piece of land, than a rich piece of land without God. When Lot was involved in the ruin of his sad choice Abram had the power to deliver him. Abram's whole life shows that those who make obedience to God first get the needed worldly gain (I Kings 3:15; Matthew 6:33). Scripture Penetratea. So far as I have observed God's dealings with my soul, the flight of preachers sometimes entertained me, but it was Scripture expressions that did penetrate my heart, and in a way peculiar to themselves—John Brown Haddington. Blest Are They. Blest are they who, lost, undone, Rest by faith in God's own Son; Blest are those who by precious blood Refuge in the eternal God. They by truth are thus set free, Rock of Ages, hid in Thee. WHAT CAN WE DO? Brilliant Millinery for Winter Wear THE HAT FASHION Anticipating the cold weather, which will soon be due in Belgium and France, the American Red Cross will make another drive for clothing to be sent to the destitute and helpless Belgians and the French. It would be worse than indifference, it would be heartless, to hoard any clothing that can be spared to the population, of the occupied territory in these countries. The American Red Cross News Service in Washington, D. C., has wired the following appeal: "Five thousand tons of clothing for the destitute people of occupied Belgium and France! This is the objective of a drive to be conducted by the American Red Cross at the request of Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the Belgian Relief commission, during the week beginning Monday, September 23. The clothing drive of the Red Cross last March brought in 5,000 tons of garments and it is estimated that at least as much more will be required to cloth the 10,000,000 people in the occupied territory during the coming winter. As in the previous campaign the clothing will be collected by the chapters of the Red Cross throughout the United States, each chapter getting its allotment from its division headquarters. There are 13 of these divisions and each has already been apprised by national headquarters in Washington of the amount of clothing its chapters are expected to produce. Every kind of garment, for all ages and both sexes, is urgently needed. Garments of strong materials are wanted as they will be subjected to the hardest kind of wear. Flimsy garments, ballroom dresses, high-heeled slippers, silk hats, straw hats and derbies, which were donated in large quantities in the last clothing campaign, will not be accept- Brilliant Millinery When the snow flies it will be met by such rich and adequate headwear as appears in this group of winter-time hats. It is something of a paradox to call this a season of brilliant millinery when dominant colors are quiet, with only two or three among them that can be described as bright. But along with cold weather-come metal brocades and fur. They are sparingly used, but even so carry the suggestion that belongs to rich stuffs. Millinery borrows splendor from them. But millinery deserves to be called brilliant without consideration of the colors favored by fashion. Shapes are really wonderful, the most subtly artful and the most becoming that can be imagined. They are brilliant in themselves and the craftsmanship of trimmers deserves the same adjective. In the group there are four hats and three of them are small or medium; one is large. But the small hat predominates in a greater proportion than three to one. Two of these models are designed for street wear and two are more formal—but they are all very wearable—that is, they can be made to do much service. At the upper left of the group a hat of gray velvet with upturned brim is faced with Hudson seal and trimmed with a big flat cabochin in black and gray. If only one new hat is to be allowed the mid-winter wardrobe, this would be a good choice. Just below this model is a wide-brimmed hat of black velvet, with a tiara drapery about the crown of black and silver gray brocade, edged with a band of beaver. With all this reserve --- ed. Such articles would be of no use. In his cable message to the American Red Cross asking it to undertake the work Mr. Hoover says that millions of men, women and children are facing shame, suffering, disease and some of them death for lack of clothing this winter. "They must be helped," he continues. "I hope the Red Cross will undertake a renewed campaign to obtain the clothing in America. It can come only from us. Your first campaign yielded magnificent results, bringing in fully 5,000 tons of clothing in good condition. But much more is needed if these war-ravaged people are to get through the winter in decency and safety. In the face of brutal coercion and spiritual suffering they remain splendidly courageous. This courage challenges our charity. Let us match the courage of Belgium with the generosity of America." Felt Hats. Blocked felt hats, it is thought in some quarters, will come in for a big portion of popularity next winter for the reason that so many women have gone into business and are dressing either in uniform or in very business-like clothes. Really the only hats that look well with these trig clothes are those which are blocked, and, while not exactly stiff, still have a deal of formality and dignity about them. A new one was seen, in beaver felt, with a high crown and narrow brim that rolled at the back and tipped down over the face at the front. It had a single ornament of the same shade at the left side front, and not even a band around the crown. This hat would have made a lovely finish for a blue serge suit and its wearing possibilities would have been boundless. for Winter Wear in color everyone will concede that this picturesque model is both brilliant and serviceable—that is it will fit in with many backgrounds. A matronly hat of the same character appears at the upper right of the group. It is one of those tall crowned, narrow brimmed hats that match the dignified poise of middle age. It is of a deep, soft petunia—a reddish purple and its trimming is an ostrich "pine tree" ornament like it in color, but in several shades. Strips of long-napped beaver in castor color make the youthful tam that appears below. It is fuzzy and wintry looking, and, by assuming the responsibility of a pair of wings for trimmings, puts itself in the class of all-round-wear hats. Julia Bottomley There are a great many very distinctive suits for women being shown for the late fall trade, and that they are liked is evidenced by the number of orders which buyers are placing for them. One very smart suit has a coat with tight-fitting sleeves, narrow shoulders and somewhat fitted bodice. There is no waistline on this coat, however, and it hangs loosely down nearly to the knees, flaring out slightly and suggestive of the bell shape. The peg-top skirt is used with this model, gathered together in the back at the waist and tapering to the ankles in a narrow draped effect. Suits of this sort are most frequently trimmed with fur, beaver or skunk being used. --- PUBLISHED WEEKLY ail communication® should, be addressed tah Kansas City Sun, 1803 18th Bell Phone East 999.

Boni & Liver. right, who are publishing in popular form four or five volumes of Bierce’s best work, recently offered a reward for information that might lead to the discovery of his whereabouts. Many clews have been given, but all have proven false, and it may well be that Bierce and Kitchener met their ends together. “Can Such Things Be?” a yolume of Bierce's best stories of the grotesque and unreal, will be published in October. | F—I F—IF at ee Wat COBVMRUSS YOU will need & Nome.

Lachesis By R. RAY BAKER (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Things happen just by accident, sometimes. But does the accident happen by accident? Not while Lachesis is holding down that destiny job on Mount Olympus. Lachesis, you know, is one of the three Moerae who meddle in the affairs of mortals from the time they are born until they pass into other realms. Three Moerae, or Fates, have a room all to themselves in the big office building of the gods, and they run things with a high hand. One would think that, in these days of progress, Clotho would get something to take the place of that old spinning wheel on which she spins the thread of life, and that Atropos could find an instrument less unwieldy than that long pair of dull shears she has been using to cut the thread when she decides it's long enough. However, they seem to have got along so far without modern improvements and they ought to know their business by this time. Anyhow, this story concerns Lachesis, who works without instruments. She simply stands near the spinning wheel and dabs weal and woe on that thread and twists it about her fingers and ties knots in it, to suit her own pleasure. It has been said that Clotho and Lachesis and Atropos are old and ugly. Of course, as mortals reckon, these fates are old; but years don't count on Olympus. And as to ugliness—well, I'm willing to allow that Atropos has a hideous face, and it's possible Clotho is not beautiful, because her back must be lame and her eyes faded and her forehead wrinkled from bending over the spinning wheel; but Lachesis—there's no reason why she should be ugly, because her job furnishes lots of variety. Moreover, she's one of the heroines in this story, so she has just got to be beautiful. The hero is Jack Watson, a mere mortal who defied Lachesis. She had decided, soon after Clotho began to spin the thread, that he should be married before he became twenty-eight years old, and she had picked for his bride a girl named Esther Richards. They were born in the same little town in Ohio and had one of those "school kid" romances; and then, when Jack was only eleven and Esther eight, it ended. Jack moved with his parents to Columbus, where they resided three years. Jack and Esther wrote occasionally, as children sometimes carry on a correspondence, but they were too young to understand about affinities and such things, and gradually they forgot about each other. When Jack was fifteen his mother died and he moved with his father to New York. The boy obtained a job as office boy with a broker and held it two years. Then he was promoted, and about that time pneumonia claimed Mr. Watson. When Esther was ten she went with her parents to Vancouver, British Columbia, and there they remained until she was twenty-two. Lachesis stood in the workroom of the Moerna one day, holding Jack Watson's thread of life in one hand and Esther Richards' in the other. "My, how far apart they have drifted," she murmured. "This will never do. I have decided differently." Jack was leaning back in his swivel chair with his feet on his desk, in his own real estate office in Melbourne, Australia. Was he thinking about Esther? Decidedly not. His mind was full of business, of how to travel still farther on the path of prosperity, which he already had found. Esther was reclining on a lounge in her home in Vancouver, reading a Red Cross magazine. Did Jack hold any place in her thoughts? No, not even a small corner. They had forgotten about each other, as I have said. That evening Jack went to the Melbourne Business club for dinner with three other prosperous young business men, all of them married. When the meal was finished the conversation turned to matrimony. "How come it you never got married, Jack?" asked George Clifford as he passed cigars. "You're old enough and have enough coin to make some girl comfortable and happy." Jack laughed as he lighted the weed. "Not me," he said as he puffed placidly. "I'll never get married. I'm going to be a hermit. Do you know, fellows, it's a fact that I've never been interested a bit in the fair sex? I'm all for business. I'm sincerely opposed to marriage—for myself, at least." Clifford, who was five years older, looked over the rims of his glasses with a slight grimace and inquired: "Don't you believe in love? Don't you believe that every one was made for some one?" Another laugh, this time louder and longer, from Jack. "I should say not!" he retorted. "There's no such thing as love. Marriage is a matter of business. When a fellow hasn't enough sense to save his money, he needs a woman to help him; and if he gets the right kind he's all right, and if he doesn't he's all wrong. I tell you I'm not interested in girls and I'll die a bachelor, as sure as the sun rises and sets." Lachesis frowned. Such defiance! She was puzzled, but she was very re- sourceful. For days at a time she would stand and hold those two threads, one in each hand. But when she attempted to bring them together her arms would stiffen. Six months before it was time for him to celebrate his twenty-eighth anniversary something put into Jack's head the idea of touring the States. As he had accumulated a comfortable pile of the metal so much desired on this globe, and as he had taken in a partner who was capable of conducting the business alone, there was no reason why he should not carry the idea into effect. It was on the outskirts of Chicago that the accident occurred. The train hit a broken rail or something and the parlor car left the track. Only one person was severely injured, and that was Jack Watson, whose arm was broken. He was taken to a Chicago hospital, where the arm was set. His condition, physically and financially, warranted a nurse being assigned to special duty on the case. This was the first opportunity he had to study woman at close range, and it proved decidedly interesting. The nurse was in constant attendance during the day and ready to answer his call at any time during the night. She was continually putting thermometers into his mouth and taking them out again, feeling his pulse, feeding him ice cream and other delicacies, and smiling. And she had a pretty face, always shining with good cheer, and a lot of other nice ways about her. "That's funny," Jack told himself frequently. "I never knew a woman could be so useful in this busy world." And he got to wishing that his arm wouldn't be in any hurry about getting mended, and his mind began thinking strange thoughts; that is, strange for him. Of course, you know the nurse was Esther Richards. But he did not. A lot of changes take place in a person between the ages of eight and twenty-five; and there was no more reason why he should associate this Miss Richards with the one of his school days in Ohio than that she should recognize her childhood sweetheart in this Mr. Watson who was her patient. Had Jack been less reticent about himself their former acquaintanceship would have leaked out in the "small talk" that usually develops between a nurse and a convalescing patient; but as he was one who took things for granted and never displayed curiosity, especially concerning the affairs of women, he had not even asked the customary "Where is your home?" Naturally her professional reserve, acquired during nearly three years of training, precluded the possibility of her taking the initiative in such personal matters; so the fact that they had not been schoolmates and "puppy-love" sweethearts remained unrevealed. He fought against the peculiar feeling that was creeping over him, but it was a losing fight. He gave up the struggle and confessed, first to himself and later to her, that he was in love with her. He told her all about it on the day he was to leave the hospital. "Do you believe in love?" she inquired, as she stood beside the bed and retained that professional demeanor sufficiently to keep him from seizing her hand. "These days, people are beginning to have the idea that marriage is only a business contract." Jack laughed and forgot all about Melbourne and real estate, business club dinners and hermits' lives. "Love!" he echoed. "Surely, I believe in love. Every one was made for some one, and I was made for you. I've felt that ever since I first saw you standing by this bed and counting my heart-beats. Haven't you felt the same way?" She forgot about "being professional" and her hand found its way into his. "Perhaps," she confessed. "That's what we always read in books; and there may be something to it. Really, I feel as if I had known you always." Lachesis smiled a smile of triumph. She drew the two threads together and held them side by side in one hand. With the other hand she reached into the happiness box and dabbed some of the contents on the threads. Then she carefully and methodically knotted them together. You can't defy Lachesis and get away with it. British Honduras. British Honduras is in the tropics, but its climate is only sub-tropical. The maximum shade temperature is 98 degrees Fahrenheit, while the minimum is 50 degrees. Cholera, yellow fever and other tropical diseases occur from time to time, but on the whole the country is not unhealthy in comparison with the West Indies or the Central American countries. The dry season lasts from the middle of February to the middle of May. Rain occurs at intervals during the other months, and almost continuously during October, November and December. The annual rainfall averages about $81\frac{1}{2}$ inches, but rises in some parts of the country to 150 incfles or more. Easterly sea winds prevail during the greater part of the year. The Humming Birds The smallest and most brilliant in color of all the feathered creations are the humming birds, and of the 400 species none is to be found elsewhere than in this western hemisphere. It is noticed that humming birds once numerous in summer in Indiana have greatly diminished in number. An explanation is given that many thousands have been sacrificed in the millinery trade. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1918 The Housewife and the War (Special Information Service, United States Department of Agriculture.) COCONUT FOR YOU—MASKS FOR SOLDIERS THE WOMEN'S WAR The Housewife Is an Allied Soldier of the Cause. COCONUT IS MORE THAN A DELICACY Carbon From Shells Is Used in Making Gas Masks for American Soldiers. BUY THE PREPARED PRODUCT Contains High Percentage of Fat and Some Protein, Both of Which Have High, Food Value, Some When you buy coconut think of the American soldier whose gas mask is supplied with carbon from the shell that once surrounded that coconut. The coconut meat is used in various ways and the shells removed, some of the meat being dried and offered for sale in this form. Buying the prepared rather than the fresh product, therefore, saves a war material. Coconut is more than a delicacy. It is a real food, for it contains a high percentage of fat and some protein, both of which have a high food value. And when you include coconut dishes in your menus you are helping to provide masks for soldiers at the front. Here are a few good recipes for the use of coconut: Coconut Rusks----50-50. 1 quart milk $\frac{1}{2}$ cupful lukewarm $\frac{1}{2}$ cupful sirup water Scald milk, sugar and salt together; cool to 90 degrees F. and add yeast, dissolve in one-half cupful lukewarm water, then add shortening, then all the flour, which has been previously sifted together. This makes a very stiff dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. Beat the white of two eggs not too stiff, cut down the dough, and work in the egg whites. Work until a smooth, elastic mass results. Cover and set to rise. Let dough rise until very light, then roll out to one-fourth-inch thickness. After the addition of the egg the dough is very soft. Brush over with sirup, sprinkle with coconut, roll up and cut in pieces one-half-inch thick. Place in pan flat side up. Let rise. Bake in a moderate oven 30 minutes. Coconut Corn Muffins ½ cupful flour 4 teaspoonfuls bak- 1 tablespoonful fat ing powder 1 cupful cornmeal 1 egg ½ teaspoonful salt ¾ cupful chopped ½ cupful milk coconut Sift dry ingredients, add to beaten egg, melted milk, milk and coconut. Bake in muffin tins. Coconut Snow. gelatine 1 cupful corn sriup 2 tablespoonpill cold ½ cupful lemon Dissolve gelatine in cold water. Let stand ten minutes. Add boiling water, cool, and add coconut. Let stand in ice water until it begins to congeal. Mix into the gelatine the well-beaten egg whites, to which the sirup has been added. Let stand until firm. pup 3 egg whites beaten 2 teaspoonfuls lem- ¼ teaspoonful salt on juice 1 cupful coconut Wash the prunes and allow to soak until they regain their plumpness. Sim- mer until tender. Rub through sleeve. Add salt to egg whites and beat until very stiff. Fold in the fruit pulp, lemon juice and sirup. Add the coconut. Put in greased ramekins and bake surrounded by water in moderate oven. Serve hot or cold with creme. 4 teaspoonfuls baking powder 1 egg ing powder ½ cupful milk 1 teaspoonful vanilla ¼ teaspoonful salt 1 cupful chopped ¾ cupful white flour coconut Cream fat and sirup together. Add well-benten egg. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk to the mixture. Beat in coconut. Bake in a slow oven as a loaf or layer. and 1 cupful coconut Beat egg until light, add sugar, fold in coconut and cornflakes. Drop on buttered sheet and bake ten minutes. --- HELP WIN THE WAR Pass the meat to the boys "over there." Pass the potatoes to the family over here. Pass over the flour, it's the best shipping food. * Consume the cornmeal, the bread's just as good. * * When you hear the call for help hold the line. * --- Women Help Food Campaign. The county home-demonstration agent of Monroe county, New York, has converted her small car into a "Victory Special." Demonstrations are given from the car, and equipment is carried for exhibits of labor-saving devices. In July the "Victory Special" made 34 visits to community meetings, and the agent's message reached 3,646 persons. In one city in Iowa the women connected with home-demonstration work have issued a statement of wartime etiquette called table manners for patrols. In Bristol county, Massachusetts, which contains many manufacturing towns, a food-demonstration truck has been very successful. Demonstrations out of doors in various villages have been well attended, the truck being used in the afternoon and early evening. A special effort was made to reach the Portuguese, French and Italian people. These people would not come to an indoor meeting, but eagerly collected on the sidewalk to watch the demonstration. They were glad to receive literature written in their own language. In various towns of Windham county, Connecticut, the canning campaign carried on by home-demonstration agents was furthered by the use of an outdoor stereopticon which threw views on a screen over a store window. This attracted good audiences, and nine demonstrations were given, two of these being to foreigners with the aid of an interpreter. Green Tomato Pie. A green tomato pie may be made as follows: Line a pie pan with pie crust, place in it a layer of thinly sliced green tomatoes, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and a little flour, repeating until the pan is full. Spread a crust over the top, make a few steam holes in it, and bake in a moderate oven until the tomatoes are well done, or about thirty-five minutes. A tea-spoonful of butter or other fat dotted over the pie before the top crust is added makes the pie richer. SIGNIFICANCE OF ARMY RANK Explanation Concerning the Insignia of Various Officers That Is More or Less Romantic. Because gold is a more precious metal than silver, not a few civilians confess ignorance of the reason for gold bars on a second lieutenant's shoulder straps and silver bars on those of a first lieutenant. Throughout the rank of army insignias gold appears to be subordinated. Moss' Officers' Manual explains the significance: "The second lieutenant stands on the level ground, looking up to his superiors at varying altitudes above blim. He begins to climb toward the top, his first step being the lower bar of the fence, which position is typified by the one bar of the first lieutenant. Upon reaching the top of the fence the officer wears two bars, which represent the bottom and top bars of the fence, from which point he can now as captain survey the field. From the fence, the officer must climb to the branches of the oak, the tree of might and strength. It is a long climb and symbolizes the marked difference that exists between the company and the field officer. The gold leaf on the major's shoulder strap symbolizes this position. The next step is to the tallest tree of the forest, the straight, towering, silver poplar, with no branches for many feet from the ground. Although this point of vantage is somewhat higher than that of the oak, it is not materially so, and the duties and responsibilities of the position are about the same. The officer is now among the silver leaves of the poplar, which fact is typified by the silver leaf of the lieutenant colonel. The silver eagle of the colonel symbolizes the bird that soars over the top of the towering poplar. The next step is the greatest of all: To the stars up in the firmament, far, far above the eagle's flight, which position is typified by the star on the general officer's shoulder strap." This description of the significance of our insignia of rank, is, of course, merely a romantic explanation. Four Women and a Bear. Discovering a big black bear at the mouth of a cave while on a fishing trip with their husbands, Mrs. O. Hartman, Mrs. Guy Henderson, Mrs. A. Bassett and Mrs. George Chadwick threw rocks at the animal until it retired into the cave, and the remaining three then kept guard while the fourth summoned the men. The party was without a gun, but after several hours an ancient musket was borrowed at a ranch several miles away. Meanwhile the women continued on guard, and whenever the bear attempted to emerge from the cave they drove him back with showers of stones. Armed with the musket, Bassett crawled to the mouth of the cave and, aiming at the bear's right eye, fired. The musket burst without damage to Bassett and the bullet struck the bear in the left flank, inflicting a wound which caused death. The bear is one of the largest of the black variety ever killed in this region. —Jackson (Wyo.) Dispatch in Cheyenne Leader. Where Turgenev Did Early Work. The estate of the Russian novelist, Ivan Turgenev, which is reported to have been sacked by peasants, lies in the low, marshy country of the government state of Toula. Some of the writer's early work was produced there though toward the end of his life Turgenev spent the greater part of his time in Baden-Baden or Paris and scarcely visited Russia. The influence of his home, with its beautiful, prosperous estates and hard-driven peasantry, was never quite forgotten by him, and toward the muzhiks especially—the parents, probably, of those who have just wrecked his property—he had always an active sympathy. The neighboring capital town of Toula, set in the midst of agricultural lands, was constituted a gun factory by the Czar Boris Godunov, and still devotes itself to the making of army riles. Resurrection of Old Roman Port. Ostia, the harbor of ancient Rome, is once more, by decision of the Italian government, to become a port, and Rome therefore once more a maritime city. To the harbor at Ostia, when Rome was mistress of the world, came the corn from Sicily and Sardinia, which, after Tibet silt and national indolence had let Ostia perish, was stored at Portus, the rival harbor, which also afterward fell into desuetude. It was the selzure of Rome's granary which enabled Alaric to impose his will on the Eternal city. Ostia began its existence in 640 B. C., and she seems about to add another chapter to her history. American Flyera. This from Gen. William L. Kenly, United States director of military aeronautics: "There is no higher type of the aviator in the world than the American. The courage and the ability of the American flyer have won full recognition, and we may expect him to play a more and more prominent part in the war as it continues, because, after four years of fighting, the man power resources of our allies have been largely drawn on." How He Found War. Willis—This morning you told me you had just returned from the war, and this afternoon I heard you admit that you had never smelled powder. Gillis—That's right.

John Biddle, commander of all American troops in England, is one of the most modest and unpretentious persons imaginable, and one of the most popular officers in the army. He is not only a loyal friend, a polished gentleman and a good fellow in the best sense of that term, but he is noted for his tact. General Biddle when a boy spent three years at the school in Geneva (where French was everybody's language) and then was sent to the University of Heldelberg. From Heldelberg, at eighteen, he was brought back to this country, and in 1877 entered the West Point Military Academy. He was graduated second in his class, and was appointed a second lieutenant in 1881 and assigned to the engineers. A few years ago he was appointed an instructor in practical military en- engineering at West Point. In the Spanish war he served in Cuba. In November, 1899, he was sent to Manila, and not long afterward to Guam to survey that island. He was made engineer commissioner of the District of Columbia in 1901, and held that job six years. Then he was put in charge of important work in California, to be later attached to the general staff at Washington, and sent (in November, 1914) to Austria as a "war observer." gineering at West Point.

The case was that of the Longe and Rizzlio boys, who were stolen from Brooklyn in 1910. WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY WOMAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY The arrival in this country not long ago of Mrs. Adolphus Busch, the multimillionaire widow of St. Louis who had been living in Germany for several years, brought to light an interesting situation which, so far as there is any record, has never before actually existed in history. Although Mrs. Busch, whose husband was the famous brewer, Adolphus Busch, and who is herself the "Anheuser" of the widely known "Anheuser-Busch," is really the richest widow in the world, with more than $60,000,000 in money and properties, yet her return to the United States has revealed her as literally a "woman without a country." Technically, Mrs. Busch is a citizen of the United States. But part of her vast estate, though, is in Germany.

STORIES of AMERICAN CITIES Staged Battle Royal Far Below Earth's Surface Staged Battle Royal Far Below Earth's Surface BROOKLYN.—When Thomas O'Malley regained consciousness in the Williamsburg hospital, he hastened to reiterate the statement he had made just before they began to sew him up. It was a succinct statement in Mr. O'Malley's well-known manner. It O'Malley and Peransky are, or were employees of the contractor who is tunneling the new subway tube in the vicinity of North Seventh street. The men employed there work in a caisson under high air pressure. O'Malley and Peransky, both registered for the draft and neither returned to work that day. They entered the air chamber in the same cage the other day, and a glance at him convinced O'Malley's gangmates that it would be just as well not to cross him. Peransky, however, was in that state of exuberant Americanism which made him careless of who listened when he spoke up. In any event, after they had been in the air chamber less than 20 minutes somebody behind, but within earshot of O'Malley, gave utterance to the opinion that there was a man among them who had neglected to register for the draft because of anti-British prejudices of long standing. O'Malley turned and saw Peransky standing grinning at the jester and the jest. They had been fighting furiously for 20 minutes when Policeman Dalton, summoned by a foreman on the earth's surface who had received a distress signal from the earth's interior, arrived and stopped the fighting with a few well-aimed blows of his club. He had found the belligerents rolling on the floor of the air chamber, while their companions stood about terrified, in fear apparently that the fighters would do some damage to the walls of the air chamber and be the death of all hands. Dalton explained afterward that the two men had reached that point of fighting exhaustion where the task of separating them was not one to draw heavily on the resources of a trained policeman. Mr. O'Malley is undecided about returning to subway work. He says that, after a holiday especially, the high air pressure is apt to go to his head and make him insensible to logic and logical consequences.

At the police station Kipford said he had stopped at the bank earlier in the day to change a $5 bill, and seeing the money in the teller's cage went out and bought a small suitcase and returned for some cash.

POISON GAS SHIP IN RACE WITH U-BOAT TEUTON SHELLS ARE BAD HAS HUGE CARGO OF DEATH Freighter Develops Engine Trouble and Falls Behind Convoy—Submarine Bobs Up and Begins Hurling Shells. By FRAZIER HUNT (In the Chicago Tribune.) An American Naval Base in France. —A lad from the U. S. S. Destroyer 552 had just finished narrating how close they had come to getting a submarine on the last trip when they had brought in a big convoy of troopers. “Some boat she is,” he remarked offhand. “We did seven thousand knots last month and in three subfights. Say, what was those funny steel drums you had piled on the deck of your old cargo ship when you come in yesterday?” A lad from the Atlantic freight ferry boat turned to the destroyer rob. "Those steel drums you asked about didn't have nothing at all in them except about a million gallons of the most dangerous poison gas ever made. Can you imagine what would happen if a torpedo or even a shell had hit one of those tanks?" This ship, which we shall call the Terrance, left New York as part of a convoy of 15 stores ships. **Cargo of Death.** On this trip it was carrying several thousand steel drums of poison gas that the army needed badly. It was a dangerous cargo. Any explosion on board would tear open these drums of concentrated gas and in ten seconds choke the crew to death. The only hope would be to use respirators, so a hundred gas masks were borrowed from the army and the executive officer of the ship called all hands for instructions three times a day. The first ten days of the trip were uneventful. Then the Terrance's engines began acting badly. It could not make the required ten knots and slowly it fell behind. There were not sufficient convoying destroyers to have one remain behind, so all that stood between the Terrance's drums of death and a German submarine was the fore and aft guns. Finally, at six o'clock one evening, the gas mask drill just had ended when the lookout in the crow's nest shouted down that a submarine was coming to the surface on the port side, some 9,000 yards astern. And here was the Terrance with crippled engines hobbling along six or seven knots an hour, with the convoy 20 miles ahead. "Open fire with the stern gun. Call general quarters. Send S. O. S. to the convoy. Send word to the chief engineer," were four orders the skipper on the bridge gave first. Through his binoculars he could see the submarine coming to the surface. Even now the Terrance's stern gun was peppering away shots, but falling short of the mark by 1,500 yards. In half a minute more the submarine's conning tower opened and men From 50 to 70 Per Cent Fail to Explode. During Marne Retreat the Germans Used Old Stuff to Keep Up Morale. With the American Army in France.—American artillery officers estimated recently that at certain stages of the German retreat north of the Marne from 50 to 70 per cent of the shells fired by the enemy failed to explode. One night, after the Germans crossed the Vesle the enemy fired 72 shells of large caliber into a wooded tract where American troops were supposed to be quartered and artillery experts of one of the divisions engaged reported that only four of these shells had exploded. None of the American officers suggested that the German shells were de- DYE INDUSTRY GROWING crawled out and uncovered the submarine's two guns.

In the radio room the operator was pounding out the call for help, and now came the answer that the destroyers were coming to aid. Down below the whole engine force was working madly. Suddenly a miracle happened and the starboard engines began supplying power to the propeller. From a bare seven knots the ship jumped to ten—then eleven, twelve. Meantime on the bridge the officers with gas masks strapped at alert position were getting the thrill of their whole life as the old boat picked up speed. Sub shells now were falling within 300 yards of the ship. With the Terrance's new speed the sub gained slowly, but the skipper and officers knew its guns would outrange their own and soon find a mark. It was a great race with life or death for the goal. Then from the edge of the world Government Report Shows Remarkable Progress Made. One Hundred and Ninety American Firms Now Make Dyes and Drugs. Washington.—The remarkable success of the American chemists and chemical manufacturers in developing the dyestuffs industry, when the supplies of dyes from Germany were cut off, is strikingly shown in a report just issued by the United States tariff commission entitled, "Census of Dyes and Coal-Tar Chemicals, 1917." At the outbreak of the European war, Germany dominated the world's trade in dyes and drugs derived from coal-tar. Before the war, seven American firms manufactured dyes from imported German materials. In 1917, 190 American concerns were engaged in the manufacture of dyes, drugs and other chemicals derived from coal-tar, and of this number, 51 firms produced coal-tar dyes from American materials which were approximately equivalent in total weight to the annual imports before the war. The total output of the 190 firms, exclusive of those engaged in the manufacture of explosives and synthetic resins, was over 54,000,000 pounds with a value of about $69,000,000. Large amounts of the staple dyes for which there is a great demand are now being manufactured in the United States. A few of the important dyes, such as the vat dyes derived from alizarin, anthracene, and carbazol, are still not made. The needs of the wool industry are being more satisfactorily met than the needs of the cotton industry. The report gives in detail the names of the manufacturers of each dye or other product and the quantity and value of each produced, except in cases where the number of producers is so small that the operations of in- teriorating. There had been day after day of rain during the retreat, and it was believed possible that in the withdrawal the Germans had not been able to take the usual precautions against dampness, the result being that many projectiles from some of the big guns failed to do anything more than strike the earth with a thud. One officer suggested that possibly the Germans had been firing old shells rather than no shells at all, the officers realizing that only a few of them were exploding, but preferring to keep the big guns pounding away merely in an effort to keep up the morale of the men putting up the rear-guard fight. The average number of faulty shells is generally from 2 to 6 per cent.

They refused the cigarettes. came the smoke of destroyers shooting ahead like flaming arrows. Thirty knots and more they were making. In another minute they could trace their outline. But the sub was nearing, too. One shell broke less than thirty yards away. Seconds seemed like hours, but each brought the rescuing destroyers nearer.

Seventeen hundred and thirty-three chemists or engineers were engaged in research and chemical control of this new industry, or 8.8 per cent of the total of 19.643 employees.

Now he's the buckest buck private in a negro regiment that has already earned fame in the line. He evolved the perfect answer to Prussian theology 15 minutes after he got into that line. The Germans opposite—it was a quiet sector—had hung out a big sign bearing the Potsdam profanation, "Gott mit uns." Arthur Jefferson took one long look at it. Then he disappeared into a dugout. He appeared later with the legend, laboriously inscribed on a box: "Germans: Consign your souls to the Lord. In 'bout four minutes your bodies going to belong to Alabama." And they did.

CHARGES DEATH TO SAVE MEN American Staff Officer Falls Mortally Wounded in Gallant Action in Lorraine. With the American Army in Lorraine.—The fighting on the new American front in Lorraine was featured by the gallant action of an American staff officer. When the officer saw there was danger of part of his advancing forces being outflanked by German machine gunners he personally led his men in a charge against the guns. He captured one gun himself and his men took the others. The officer was wounded, probably mortally. The officer's troops belonged to the division operating on the eastern wing of the American offensive sector. They had taken the village of Norroy and were pressing onward in the face of opposition from machine gun nests. The irregular advance suddenly exposed one unit to a flanking fire and the officer forgot that he as a staff officer was supposed to stay away from the fighting and rushed in. Inside Information as to End of the World WASHINGTON.—Knowledge has no fixed notch. It is on a movable scale that climbs up and reaches around and dives down, like that crane thing that scooped out the Panama canal. We want more knowledge, as a inscrutable source unknown to man—certainly not to any newspaper man—that the world was coming to an end two weeks from that date. The other woman had her doubts. The prophet-lady was so sure of her Bible signs that she was going to cash her bond and take her money out of the bank and pin it inside her dress for safekeeping. The other woman, naturally, inquired as to the sense of taking money into the next world, especially as it was earning interest in the bank. This phase of the situation had its weight. "That's so. There'll be $6.25 coming to me in January—almost enough to pay the taxes on my lot. I guess I'll let the money be and just cash the bond. No, I won't, either. I read in the paper the other day that they are going to be worth a whole lot more after the war. It's awful hard to hafter die without knowing how the war ends and see the boys come home, but we gotter go—all of us. There'll come a rain of fire and after our bodies are burnt to ashes some of us will be saved and the others will be weepin' and wallin' and gnashin' of teeth." "You've got it down pretty fine, haven't you? But, say, Mame, if we get burnt to ashes what will we do for lungs to weep and wall with, and teeth to do our gnashing?" Foolish? Of course! But, if you hear a couple of women patterning along like that, isn't it the most natural thing in the world to tab them down, when you can come across nothing better? And if so be the proper-study of mankind is man is there any law against counting in woman? Boy's Sense of Chivalry Wouldn't Let Him "Squeal" Boy's Sense of Chivalry Wouldn't Let Him "Squeal" HERE is the story of a war worker. When you see that term "war worker" you usually mean "girl," but not this time. The phrase means just one Washington boy, a young friend who got himself a job for the summer in one gone. A man was working on the files while the boy happened to be in the room. After search had been made for the letters, with no results, the boy was called in by the chief and asked if he had seen the letters. He replied that he had not, as he had not. The next day the boy was dismissed. "If you did not take the letters, son—and I know you didn't," his father said to him, "why didn't you tell the man about the man being in the room?" "Well, it was like this, dad," the boy replied. "I only wanted to work for the summer, and that man has a steady job. It doesn't mean very much for me to lose the job, but I guess it would mean a whole lot for him to have lost his. So——" And the father is proud of his son, and you can't blame him, although you may think that the boy made a big mistake in so calmly allowing himself to be "fired" without protest. Wounded Soldiers Want Help, Not Sympathy DO NOT lavish too much sympathy upon the convalescent soldier back from France, warns Major Baldwin, chief of the educational service, in a statement explaining the reconstruction work done at Walter Reed hospital. him to develop the proper mental attitude toward his disability, his future outlook and toward others, or he permanently becomes a dependent or a derelict." The reconstruction work at Walter Reed hospital, which has assumed such national importance, and which is becoming a demonstration and training school for other hospitals, began in a small way, with a few instructors and a limited number of returned soldiers. There are at present under construction four large shop buildings—one for lathes and heavy machine work, another for electrical work, including telegraphy and radio; another for woodwork, including cabinet making and carpentry, and the other for printing, photography and classes in drafting. There is also a two-story school building near completion, which will be used for academic subjects. More than 700 men are at present pursuing courses in 30 different lines of activity. Successful War Waged on Flies and Mosquitoes THE campaign waged here since early in the spring on disease-bearing flies and mosquitoes by a force of 150 soldiers under Lieut. E. H. Gibson, formerly of the department of agriculture, has been most effective in ridding files to the quart. The figures show that 12 quarts were caught on July 2; five quarts August 12, and three and one-half quarts August 30. Nearly every one of the 100 or more commissioned officers who were sent back from the front to give engineer troops in the United States the benefit of their special training and experience in battle have been assigned to regiments at Humphreys by Brig. Gen. Charles W. Kutz, camp commander. Just how long these officers will be retained in this country before being sent overseas with new regiments cannot be predicted, but it is likely they will be retained for two or three months at least. ships wants a swifter record, the airplane a greater altitude, as man, generally, demands a higher development than his forbears ever dreamed of. We will always want to know more and more and more. Self-satisfied attainment means rust, and rust means failure. And we know no such word as fail. But it isn't a good idea to know more than our share. For one case, a woman in a car was providing thrills for the woman next. She had learned through some inscrutable source unknown to man—C that the world was coming to an end to woman had her doubts.

Wounded Soldiers Warn DO NOT lavish too much sympathy u France, warns Major Baldwin, chief ment explaining the reconstruction w "A great many persons have unconsciously tried to spoil these men by misdirected sympathy," said Major Baldwin. "That is why there are certain restrictions in regard to visitors at the hospital.' "The patient is not a child, neither is he a sick man, but a new type of man that has met with a physical disability, with the accompanying mental shocks. He must be returned to society as a normal member. "The important problem is to help him to develop the proper mental att outlook and toward others, or he per derelct."

AMONG THE CHURCHES Dr. Julian C. Caldwell, D. D., General Secretary of the A. C. E. League, preached an able sermon to a large audience at Ebenezer Sunday morning. There were eight additions. The Rev. McPike, one of Ebenezer's own sons, preached at night, and his sermon was indeed filled with the Holy Ghost. Brother C. C. Rather of Class 14 is wearing the gold medal this quarter. Class No. 19, Brother William Richardson, leader, started out in the lead the first Tuesday evening after Quarterly meeting and his class won the banner. Brother Porter, leader of Class No. 10, claimed the banner this week. Rev. S. W. Henderson left for Hiawata, Kas., where he will take charge of the A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Henderson will join her husband soon. They both will be greatly missed by Ebenezer, as they were loyal, devoted members. Rev. Osborne's first plan for the year is to pay out the parsonage. The members showed their enthusiastic desire Tuesday evening to take a hold for another successful year's work. The Who-So-Ever-Will Club met at the residence of Mrs. Lute Sewell's on Thursday evening. This Club gave $25.00 to the pastor on Conference Claims.

Mr. Hugh Howard, who was a faithful member of Ebeneseer before his illness of more than a year, was buried from the family residence Thursday afternoon. The choir of which Mrs. Howard is president turned out in a body in sympathy with the bereaved wife. Beautiful floral offerings and condolences were given by the Choir. The pastor and members express deepest sympathy to Mrs. Howard and relatives in their saddest hours. The Conference held its Educational night at Ebeneseer and an offering of $10 was given.

Heart Disease Almost Fatal to Young Girl "My daughter, when thirteen years old, was stricken with heart trouble. She was so bad we had to place her bed near a window so she could get her breath. One doctor said, 'Poor child, she is likely to fall dead any time.' A friend told me Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy had cured her father, so I tried it, and she began to improve. She took a great many boots that, but she is spared to me today, a fat, rovy bed near a window so she could get her breath. One doctor said, "Poor child, she is likely to fall dead any time.' A friend told me Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy had cured her father, so I tried it, and she began to improve. She took great care by bottles, but she is spared to me today, a fat, rosy cheeked girl. No one can imagine the confidence I have in Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy." A. R. CANON, Worth, Mo. The unbounded confidence Mr. Canon has in Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy is shared by thousands of others who know its value from experience. Many heart disorders yield to treatment, if the treatment is right. If you are bothered with short breath, fainting spells, swelling of feet or ankles, pains about the heart and shoulder blades, palpitation, weak and hungry spells, you should begin using Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy at once.
