Growing Thank You! $1.50 a Year. 5c a Copy Appreciates Monitor Editorial on Bulletin No Threat Intended in Statement Criticized, But Warning Warranted By Present Experimental Status of the Ninety-second Division. ACTION AGAINST MANAGER Military Instructions Issued In the Interests of Military Efficiency and Limited in Scope as Affecting Race Problems; Self-Explanatory Letter. THE following letter, favorably commenting on position taken in our recent editorial, will be read with interest by our readers: Headquarters 92d Division, Camp Funston, Kan., April 22. Editor The Monitor, Omaha, Neb.: Dear Sir—General Ballou, the commanding general of the Ninety-second division, appreciates very much the general good sense shown in your comment on Bulletin 35, as evidenced in your issue of the 20th inst., and further believes that if you fully understood the situation as it exists you would find no "threat" at all in that bulletin, but only a warning fully warranted by the fact that the division is regarded at the war department and by the country at large as an experiment upon the result of which will certainly depend the question of organizing other divisions, and very likely the use to be made of this one. It is believed absolutely certain that race clashes would destroy any possibility of ever having a division assembled in one camp in this country, and without this assembly training is greatly handicapped. Such clashes are from every point of view prejudiced to the interests of the division and should be avoided by every possible means. Instructions to soldiers are MILITARY instructions, issued in the interests of military efficiency, and have nothing to do with race problems outside the military establishments, except in so far as the good or bad repute of the Colored troops will reflect credit or discredit upon the Colored race. The Colored troops know perfectly well that the division commander took steps to prosecute the offending theater manager before the bulletin was issued, and that the entire omission of any mention of that fact in the press was due to its being suppressed by the malicious correspondent—a narrow-minded malcontent, who does not have the courage to sign his letters, and seeks to injure the division by misrepresentations and stabs in the dark. Very respectfully, T. T. THOMPSON, First Lieutenant Infantry N. A., Assistant Personnel Officer, 92d Division. JUSTICE ASKED FOR LIEUTENANT TRIBBETT Washington, D. C., April 11.—The Department of Justice has been asked by the war department to investigate the case of First Lieutenant Charles A. Tribbett (Colored) of the national army, and report what legal redress he has for the action of the civil authorities of the state of Oklahoma in arresting and imprisoning him for alleged violation of the state "jim crow" law. Lieutenant Tribbett is from New York and was graduated from the Colored officers' training camp at Des Moines, Ia., and assigned to duty with Colored troops at Camp Upton, Yapbank, Long Island. While on that duty the records of the war department show that recently he was ordered to proceed by the usual means of transportation to the army post at Fort Sill, Okla., for instruction in aviation. When the train on which he was traveling stopped at a station near Chickasaw, Okla., it was boarded by a sheiff and party, who arrested Tribbett, who was in regulation military uniform, for riding in a car with white people. In spite of his protest that he was an officer of the United States army, traveling under orders on government business, Tribbett was forcibly removed from the car and imprisoned in the county jail and subsequently fined. Following an appeal to the war department, Lieutenant Tribbett was released and permitted to resume his journey to Fort Sill, where he is now on duty. His friends contend that Lieutenant Tribbett was an interstate passenger traveling under orders on government business and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the state authorities. THE MONITOR DETROIT READY FOR EXPECTED INFLUX Advance Contingents of 50,000 Southern Colored people expected to reach Detroit during the coming summer, already are arriving at the rate of from 100 to 150 a week, according to Forrester B. Washington, head of the Negro Urban league, who is placing the new arrivals in positions they are believed capable of filling. So great has been the demand for labor in this city, says Mr. Washington, that it is impossible for him to fill the orders for Colored workers among the men, although there are many more Colored women asking work than there are places for them. That Detroit's method of assimilating the great influx of Colored people is solving the problem of racial differences better than in other cities is shown by the fact that other cities are asking advice from league directors here. East St. Louis, where race riots have followed bitter racial feeling, obtained a survey of what is being done here and the Rotary club of that city raised a fund of $100,000 to institute a similar urban league there. The Detroit league has enlarged its quarters 100 per cent twice during the last six months, and plans further extension to meet the problems of the summer. The employment department has been placed on the first floor of the quarters at 297 St. Antoine street. Courses in domestic training given to Colored women have reached the end of the first period and 12 women have been given their letters. When these are signed by three employers and an oral examination is approved by the Visiting Housekeepers' association, the women will receive certificates. Has Been Nominated By Three Presidents Judge Robert H. Terrell Receives His Fifth Consecutive Appointment and Subsequent Confirmation by the United States Senate. MOST COMMENDABLE RECORD Is Senior Member, in Point of Service, of the District Municipal Bench and Is Popular With All Classes. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20. The recent appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell by President Wilson to succeed himself on the municipal court bench of the District of Columbia, and the confirmation of the nomination by the United States senate last Thursday, makes a rather unusual record. Judge Terrell is the senior member in point of service of the five members of the court. He has served sixteen and a half years consecutively. He has been confirmed by the senate five times. His appointments have come from three presidents, all of whom are now living. Roosevelt named him twice, Taft once and Woodrow Wilson twice. He is the only republican on the bench of the municipal court, but has the backing of the lawyers of the district almost to a man without regard to politics. During his career as a judge he has presided in many cases of great importance to the people of his community. His reappointment meets the heartiest approval of all classes of citizens of the District of Columbia, among whom he has always maintained an unusual popularity. BETTER SCHOOLS AND LIVING CONDITIONS Richmond, Va.—Invitations are being sent out through the Colored schools and churches of this city to enlist interest in a campaign for community education among the Colored people of the city, taking in twenty-six centers. School people, teachers, pupils, school leagues, churches, pastors and citizens are behind the movement for better schools for Colored children, better morals, prompt attendance, efficient study, mental discipline, moral, social and religious hygiene, heredity and environment and parental control. A closer relation between teachers and parents for the benefit of the schools and home is the ideal set forth. Speakers have been arranged for and appointments made under the auspices of the Colored Teachers' Association of the city. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, APRIL 27, 1918 AN APPEAL TO OUR GOVERNMENT Atlanta, Ga., March 5. To the President, the Cabinet, the Congress of the United States, the Governors and the Legislatures of the Several States of the United States of America: DURING the past three decades nearly three thousand American Colored men, women and children have suffered butchery and death in almost every conceivable form at the hands of the lynchers of America. Last year alone the number thus murdered was 222. The reported causes for such appalling brutality run the gamut from alleged violation of the honor of white women to disputing the word of white men. The fact, however, that only about 5 per cent of these murders are reputed to have been inflicted upon accused violators of womanhood argues almost conclusively that the desire to protect womanhood is almost negligible among the so-called causes of lynchings. We accordingly regard lynching as worse than Prussianism, which we are at war to destroy. Lynching is not a cure for crime, either imaginary or real. It decreases faith in the boasted justice of our so-called democratic institutions. It widens the frightful chasm of unfriendly and suspicious feeling between the races and positively foments the spirit of antipathy and resentment. We are accused of concealing criminals. Who has concealed the many criminals that have mercilessly murdered these 3,000 defenseless men, women and children of our race? That these murderers frequently ply their trade in broad daylight and in plain view of the entire citizenry even does not facilitate their punishment or detection. Within less than one year one state alone has tortured and burned at the stake three Colored men without even the semblance of a trial or an effort to apprehend and punish the murderers. In the last instance an entire helpless Colored population was marched around the fire amid fumes of a burning human being and put on notice that as that black man was suffering they, too, should fear to suffer. Thus the defiant lynching giant strides on apace. While we are sacrificing the best blood of our sons upon our nation's altar to help destroy Prussianism beyond the seas, we call upon you to use your high offices to destroy the lynching institution at our doors. We are the one group of American people, than whom there is none more loyal, which is marked out for discrimination, humiliation and abuse. In the great patriotic and humanitarian movements, in public carriers, in federal service, the treatment accorded us is humiliating, de humanizing and reprehensible in the extreme. This persistent and unreasonable practice is but a thrust at the Colored man's self-respect—the object being not merely to separate the races but to impress us with the idea of natural inferiority. Such demoralizing discrimination is not only a violation of the fundamental rights of citizens of the United States, but the persistent The Children of the Sun By George Wells Parker At Gizeh, in Egypt, there is a huge carving of a wingless lion with a male human head. It is partly cut from solid rock and partly constructed of masonry, with a shrine at its base. It is one hundred seventy-two and a half feet long and sixty-six feet high. The name by which it was known among the Egyptians is Horemkhu, a word derived from Horus. The human head is supposed to represent Horus, the sun god of Egypt, and it is one of the most precious symbols of the greatest secret order in the world today, the Order of Masonry. We call it the Sphinx and its face is the face of the NEGRO! Somehow the Sphinx has become the emblem of ancient Egypt and when one has studied the history and legends of that mysterious people, it become convincing that the land beside the Nile could have no more fitting symbol than that lonely figure that gazes forever toward eternity. It was of this Sphinx that Ebers, a German scholar, once said, "At the present day it has ACQUIRED a hideous Negro aspect chiefly from the loss of the ```markdown ``` --- segregation of any element of our country's population into a separate and distinct group on the sole basis of color is creating a condition under which this nation cannot long endure. When we reflect upon these brutalities and indignities we remember they are due to the fact that in almost every Southern state we have systematically, by law or chicanery, been deprived of the right of that very manhood suffrage which genuine democracy would guarantee to every citizen in the republic. This propaganda of filching from Colored Americans the ballot is but a supreme effort to re-enslave us and to force our assent to, and our impotence against, any legislation of our opponents. To this policy the black man does not, cannot and will not agree. Of it our intolerance is cumulative. Against it we shall exert our righteous efforts until not only every eligible black man, but every eligible black woman, shall be wielding the ballot proudly in defense of our liberties and our homes We are appealing to you neither as vassals nor as inferiors. Bull Run and Appomattox fixed our status in this nation. We are free men. We are sovereign American citizens — free men who purchased with our own blood on every battlefield from Bunker Hill to Carrizal full rights and immunities such as are freely granted to others but systematically refused us. We are writing to you, gentlemen, that you may give us the assurance and guarantee which every American citizen ought to have without reference to color. We are loyal and will remain so, but we are not blind. We cannot help seeing that white soldiers who massacred our black brothers and sisters in East St. Louis have gone scot free. We cannot help seeing that our black brothers who massacred white citizens in Houston have paid the most ignominious penalty that can come in this country to a man in uniform. Do not these undemocratic conditions, these inhumanities, these brutalities and savageries provoke the rulers of the nation to speak out of their sphinxlike silence and utter a voice of hope, a word of promise for the black man? Do the rulers of the nation also hate us, and will they, Pilate-like, forever give their assent to the crucifixion of the bodies, minds and souls of those in whom there has been found nothing worthy of the death we are dying, save that we are black? May not your silence be construed as tacit approval or active tolerance of these things? The effect on the morale of black men in the trenches, when they reflect that they are fighting on foreign fields in behalf of their nation for those very rights and privileges which are denied at home, might be discouraging. We appeal to you in the name of democracy! We appeal to you in the name of our American citizenship! We appeal to you in the name of God, and We would be heard! P. J. BRYANT, Chairman. L. H. KING, Secretary. nose." Acquired, indeed! And hideous perhaps to him and to the millions of his kind who see in its existence the contradiction of all their ethnic philosophy. True it is that the bullets of the Mamelukes hit and bit into that stony countenance, but they left enough to the nose to show that it was flat, enough of the lips to show that they were thick and enough of the coloring to show that it was brown. It is pitiable to learn how men can misuse the gift of vision, but it has been said truly that none is so blind as he who will not see. Our own Mark Twain saw more in the Sphinx than hideousness. He writes: "After years of waiting it was before me at last. The great face was so sad, so earnest, so longing, so patient. There was a dignity not of earth in its mien and in its face a benignity such as never anything human wore. It was stone but it seemed sentiment. If ever image of stone thought, it was thinking. It was looking toward the verge of the landscape, yet looking at nothing—nothing but distance and vacancy. It was Vol. III. No. 43 (Whole No. 145) looking over and beyond everything of the present and far into the past. It was gazing out over the ocean of time—over lines of century waves, which, further and further receding closed nearer and nearer together, and blended at last into one unbroken tide, away toward the horizon of antiquity. It was thinking of the wars of departed ages; of the empires it had seen created and destroyed; of the nations whose birth it had witnessed, whose annihilation it had noted; of the joy and the sorrow, the life and death, the grandeur and decay, of five thousand slow revolving years. It was the type of an attribute of man—of a faculty of his heart and brain. It was memory, rethospection—wrought into visible and tangible form. All who know what pathos there is in memories of the days that are departed and the faces that have vanished—albeit only a trifling score of years gone by—will have some appreciation of the pathos that dwells in those grave eyes that look so steadfastly back upon the things they knew. Before history was born, before tradition had being—things that were, and forms that moved in a vague era which even poetry and romance scarce knew of—passed one by one away, leaving the stony dreamer solitary in the midst of a strange, new age, and uncomprehended scenes. The Sphinx is grand in its loneliness; it is imposing in its magnitude, it is impressive in the mystery that hangs over its story. And there is in the overshadowing majesty of this eternal figure of stone with its accusing memory of the deeds of all ages, which reveals to one something of which he shall feel when he stands at last in the awful presence of God." Is not this a beautiful tribute to pay to the sculptured face of a Negro? "It is impressive in the mystery that hangs over its story," says Twain, and it is because of this that the Sphinx must ever remain the incarnation of African genius. Why the Sphinx stands in the midst of Egypt's sands watching and waiting should be known to every man and woman and child of our race. In that story we find a legend that hints from thence till now, and as the Sphinx stood guard to protect Egypt, so must we stand guard to protect the inheritance that has come down to us through all the years. This is the story: Once upon a time Osiris and Isis, his sister wife, came from Heaven to Egypt to teach mankind the arts of civilization. Osiris and Isis were black and the people whom they came to teach were black, but against them was Sit, an evil genius who was red haired and white. All that Osiris tried to do, Sit tried to undo, and between the two there was perpetual war and conflict. Eventually Sit triumphed and killed Osiris, cut his body to pieces and scattered them throughout the land of Egypt. But his triumph was not to last always. Isis gave birth to Horus, son of Osiris, and Horus swore eternal vengeance against his father's murderer. Well did he keep the vow, for he drove Sit from Egypt and brought happiness and peace to the Valley of the Nile. And after Horus had died, the Egyptians carved the Sphinx in his likeness and built it to face in the direction whence he had driven Sit, so that he might forever protect Egypt from evil. And the Sphinx keeps its vigil still. The Sphinx is Egypt and because it is one of the oldest of Egypt's monuments, I have chosen to write of it as an introductory to the study of the Egyptian civilization. Egypt is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful country, the land of perpetual mystery and abiding charm. Of all the nations that lived and flourished in her day, she alone has preserved great monuments to prove her right to greatness and glory. Babylon is a withered plain, where the Hittites ruled is a lonely desert, Phonecia is a memory, Carthage a dream, and the glories of Greece and Rome have vanished, but Egypt remains. The same black people wander among the same temples and tombs as they did when their Pharaohs built them in the morning of the world. And the spirit of old Egypt still lives. Out of the ancient mists her soft brown fingers reach and play upon all the strings that chord into the music which we have called civilization. Annapolis, Md., April 11.—Governor Harrington signed on Wednesday the bill to establish a sanitarium for Colored consumptives. The measure carries an appropriation of $50,000 for the first year and $25,000 for the second year. Lifting: Lift, Too! Blade Historical Society Propagandist Seeks to Alienate Race Freudenheim, Name of German Arrested by Department of Justice for Alleged Attempt to Spread Sedition Among Colored Folk of Harlem. THREATENS LIFE OF WOMAN NEW YORK.—After an alleged threat to kill an aged Colored woman in Harlem, Max Freudenheim was arrested April 10 by Agent Davidson of the Department of Justice. He was sent to Newark jail to await internment proceedings. Charles F. De Woody, federal investigating chief here, left for Washington Wednesday night. He will lay before Attorney General Gregory an amazing story of German propaganda among Negroes, revealed by Freudenheim's arrest. Mr. De Woody believes that behind Freudenheim's activities for several months in Harlem lies a Berlin plan like the "Committee for the East," which had for its object the alienation of all the Jews in the world from the allies. It is known that the trail has led to several states. It was less than a year ago that the same sort of propaganda which has been made rife around 135th street and Lenox avenue caused almost a panic among the Negroes of the South. Thousands of them left their homes and fled to Northern states at word of an uprising in favor of Germany which was said would start in South America and Mexico and sweep through this country. Freudenheim, who is married and has three children, has been in this country for eighteen years. He says he is an Austrian, but the federal officials say he was born in Germany. Posing as an insurance solicitor, the man has been working in Harlem exclusively among Negroes. The federal authorities say he would meet men and women, and when the talk touched on the war would declare: "Germany is sure to win this war and it is a good thing for you Colored people that she will. Germany is the greatest friend the Colored man ever had. All her colonies in East Africa were started to better the conditions of the black man. When she wins the war her intention is to start a colony exclusively for Negroes in one of the Southern states. This will be virtually a black republic. The Colored men will choose their own rulers. "In this city the Negroes will get the recognition the United States has denied them so far. They will be made social equals of white men." An elderly woman, whose mother was a slave freed by Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, reported Freudenheim's activities to Superintendent De Woody. Men were sent to shadow the man. He was followed and his conversations were listened to. He discovered this, and within hearing of a Department of Justice agent he shouted to this woman, whom he suspected of betraying him: "I'll see that you are killed long before this war is over! Germany has many friends in New York and they will strike." COMFORTS FOR SOLDIERS Hampton, Va.—A number of Colored women and schoolgirls in the town of Hampton and vicinity have affiliated themselves with the National Protective league. The plan of this organization is to co-ordinate the work of women for social service. Mrs. Cash Fields Gay, who is also secretary of the Colored Hospitality House organization, is the chairman of the hospital committee, which carries fruit and flowers to the sick men at Camp Stuart. NEW YORKERS PROTEST TO PRESIDENT New York.—The executive committee of the Board of Managers of the National Colored Liberty Conference met April 10th at No. 227 West 136th street and sent a telegram to President Wilson protesting against "the undemocratic segregation of Colored shipbuilders in the eating rooms of the largest American shipbuilding plant at Hog Island, Pa., which is enforced by armed guards." They voted to call a National Colored Liberty Congress at Washington, May 29, to present to the government the claim of Colored Americans to have color and caste discrimination abolished. 2 PALESTINE, TEXAS We are having some very cold weather in this country. Rev. G. W. Carter went to Calvert last Saturday to hold his quarterly conference. The services at all the churches were good Sunday. The I. & G. N. had a small fire recently which did some damage. Mrs. Mollie Ward, Mrs. J. E. Carter, Miss Cora V. Massey, little Clida Mae Anderson and Mr. Lawson Patterson are on the sick list. Mr. William Johnson died on the 14th and his funeral was attended at St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church by the pastor, Rev. S. M. Belden.

Mr. Andrew Gordon has an up-to-date barber shop and promises to give satisfaction if you will call on him. The Antioch Baptist church is running a revival, hoping to beat the devil to some souls. ATCHISON, KANSAS Services at the Ebenezer Baptist church Sunday were well attended. The pastor, Rev. W. H. Hill, preached from the subject, "Help From the Hills," text 121st Psalm. The message was inspiring and impressive. After a feast at the gospel table, to the surprise of the audience, their minds were turned in another direction. The pastor, in a quiet, unassuming yet positive manner, tendered his resignation, which was rejected at that time, to be considered at a later date. The earnest, faithful, church-abiding members and the best citizens of Atchison regret very much to think of parting with the Rev. Mr. Hill. He is a young, energetic, upright, Christ-like minister. Three years and nine months he has labored here and been a great success. His work is left in evident view for the eyes of all who may gaze upon it. He has cleared the indebtedness of the church since being here, the amount being about $9,000, also enclosed the building, and the church at present is in a good, organized condition for work. But circumstances, which will be stated later, caused him to become dissatisfied. We must report your subscription. Please pay on or before May 10. Madam Walker Booker, who gave a dramatic recital last Wednesday night to the seating capacity of the A. M. E. church, left Monday for Kansas City, Kan., accompanied by her manager, Miss Perkins.

HE WHO WASTES BREAD ACTUALLY ASSISTS THE ENEMY, SAYS WATTLES "He who wastes a slice of wheat bread is actually hindering the prosecution of the war," said Gurdon W. Wattles, Federal Food Administrator for Nebraska. "He is also endangering our chance for victory "over there." "One year ago we ceased to be a neutral nation. We pledged the Allies wheat. We have not made good on our promise. We must make good, and the only way we can make good is to do what we promised. Any person who keeps wheat from the Allies is guilty of contributing directly to the success of the enemy. "We must make good, and we must limit our consumption of flour to the minimum, one and one-half pounds per person each week at the most. Do your patriotic duty." WHITE LIBRARIAN TELLS OF STUDIOUSNESS OF SOLDIERS Cleveland, Ohio.—The studiousness of soldiers at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, is emphasized by Gordon Thayer (white), librarian of this city, now serving in the camp library there in a letter to Miss Linda A. Eastman, vice librarian of the Cleveland public library. "I have been greatly impressed by the studiousness of the Negro soldiers here," he says. "With one accord they scorn fiction and devote themselves to wireless and other topics bearing on the work of the field signal battalion to which most of them belong. Recently one Colored man came in and said that this was his first day in camp and that the library seemed like home to him." Little Rock, Ark., April 24.—Captain Eugene C. Rowan of Canton, Miss., was placed on trial by a court-martial at Camp Pike on a charge of disobedience to the command of a superior officer.

Williams was being brought here from Fawndale for trial. What a mysterious conflict that is between the reasoning power, which keeps pointing out the right road, and an ill-regulated emotional faculty, which seeks to draw one along the wrong road. Indulging the wrong habits always makes the upward path so much steeper and the downward path so much easier.

The term rabbit was formerly more properly applied to the burrowing species of the old world, Lepus cuniculus (meaning to burrow), though by common usage our molly cottontail has so long been termed a rabbit that the name will now stand, as will that of jack rabbit for the big western hare of the prairies and Pacific coast.

LINCOLN, NEB. Our Women and Children SAVING THE MEAT Many modifications of our diet are becoming increasingly necessary with every day that passes. We heard a woman remark, "We don't have to save meat any more, for we have no meatless days." This was a grave mistake. Just now more stress is being laid upon the saving of wheat, and though we have been allowed less restriction on meat, still there is great need of saving it. In America, where people eat more meat, proportionately, than they do elsewhere, there has been for some years a growing shortage in meat. This shortage is due to restricted pasturage and the drift of population toward the cities, and has been greatly increased by the war. Meats have always been the staple food of fighting men, for they not only furnish the required energy but are compact and may be easily transported. Till the end of the war beef. fresh and corned; hams, bacon and shoulders of pork must be sent in such large quantities to the fighting line and to the men in camp that the supply at home will be scarce and high priced. Dairy herds we cannot sacrifice, for children must have milk. It is plain, then, that we must continue to eat less meat and different kinds of meat. This will work to our physical advantage, for most of us eat far too much meat. Meat once a day is always ample. Dr. Wiley and his family keep in best of health having meat once a week. Cuts of meat not of use for the army are heart, liver, kidney, tripe; of pork the tenderloin, the head and feet. With a little study one may turn these parts into many tempting dishes. The use of eggs, beans, peas, cheese and game will help preserve the meat supply. Fish is the great natural substitute for meats and is still low in price, for the public is not using it as much as it should nor as much as it shall. Such fish as is found in local streams is always cheaper and better. Fish is wholesome, palatable and cheap; these are great inducements for its use. Some have their war pigs; one has suggested the war lamb; we dare to offer the war fishpond. It would cost nothing to keep the fish and some boys might be found who would rather stock fishponds than hoe in the gardens. L. S. E. HOW TO STUDY (The following suggestions from the Handbook of the Washington Irving High School for Girls, New York City, may prove of service for the spring drive on final exams.—L. S. E.) Concentration. Put you whole mind on what you are doing. Concentration is the finest time-saver and the best road to learning that has ever been discovered. Where. Study in the quietest room on the best light you can get. Daylight is much better than artificial light. If you must study in the evening, let the light shine on your page over your left shoulder. Be sure your study room is well ventilated. How. Have your tools ready. It takes time to run around for papers, pencils or books after you have started work. When. Study when you are rested. Wait a little while after meals. If you attend recitations in the morning you can probably study best between 3 and 5 o' between 4 and 6 in the afternoon. The next best time is between 7 and 9 in the evening. You are usually wasting time when you study after 11 o'clock. WILLIE LANGFORD FINED FOR STALLING IN OHIO Toledo, O., April 23.—Willie Langford, Buffalo Colored pugilist, was fined $100 and barred from further participation in Ohio rings at a special meeting of the Toledo boxing commission today. Langford was found guilty of stalling in his twelve-round bout with Jack Blackburn of Philadelphia here last night, in which he was outpointed in every round. The commission gave Blackburn credit for vainly trying to make Langford fight. SCHOOL OFFERED FOR TECHNICAL TRAINING College Station, Texas.—President Bizzell of the Texas A. & M. College has tendered the government the use of the Prairie View Normal at Prairie View for the training of Negro soldiers along various technical lines. It is expected the courses to be taught at Prairie View will include shop work, cooking and baking. This work will not interfere with the summer or regular session at Prairie View.

Range: Breeds in Mexico and North America south of the barren grounds, winters in southern half of United States and south to Costa Rica. Habits and economic status: The prairies of the upper Mississippi valley, with their numerous sloughs and ponds, furnish ideal nesting places for redwings, and consequently this region has become the great breeding ground for the species. These prairies pour forth the vast flocks that play havoc with grain fields. East of the Appalachian range, marshes on the shores of lakes, rivers, and estuaries are the only available breeding sites and, as these are comparatively few and small, the species is much less abundant than in the West. Redwings are eminently gregarious, living in flocks and breeding in communities. The food of the redwing consists of 27 per cent animal matter and 73 per cent vegetable. Insects constitute practically one-fourth of the food. Beetles (largely weevils, a most harmful group) amount to 10 per cent. Grasshoppers are eaten in every month and amount to about 5 per cent. Caterpillars (among them the injurious army worm) are eaten at all seasons and aggregate 6 per cent. Ants, wasps, bugs, flies, dragonflies, and spiders also are eaten. The vegetable food consists of seeds, including grain, of which oats is the favorite, and some small fruits. When in large flocks this bird is capable of doing great harm to grain.

THE Colored voters of Omaha have a fine opportunity of making their influence felt at the election of city commissioners May 7, as they did at the primaries April 9, when fourteen candidates were nominated to make the race. For the primaries seventy-five candidates filed. Each voter could vote for only seven. The Monitor selected fifteen names from the seventy-five and urged our voters to vote for seven of this list of fifteen. It is significant that NINE of these fifteen were chosen and the high men, with two exceptions, were those named in order on The Monitor slate. This shows that The Monitor's advice was generally followed by the Colored voters. It shows that the Colored vote was a DECISIVE FACTOR at the primaries. As we stated before the primaries, the Colored voters number more than 2,000, and such a vote, unitedly and intelligently cast, can determine the result of any normal election held in this community. Let us realize our strength and use it wisely. From fourteen candidates we are to chose seven to administer the affairs of this city. Two considerations, and two only, should determine our vote. 1. The candidate's attitude of fairness or unfairness to us in common with other citizens. By this we mean his willingness to give our people employment with others, not only as janitors and porters, but clerkships and other positions within his gift, which we have the ability to fill. This should be the CHIEF consideration with us. 2. The candidate's general ability to give Omaha a clean, economical and business-like administration. The man who is broad-minded enough to meet our first qualification is not likely to be wanting in the second. It requires brains and ability to be broad-minded and wide-visioned. These two considerations must influence our vote in the city campaign. The several candidates have been marshaled under two heads, with James C. Dahlman, the present mayor leader of one, and Edward P. Smith, an attorney, who is politically an unknown quantity, leader of the other. One slate, the Dahlman, has seven candidates; the Smith slate has six Walter S. Jardine, left out in the cold by both, is going it alone. Both sides have issued a platform or statement of principles. The difference between the two platforms is the difference between tweedle deum and tweedle de dee. In other words, each platform is merely camouflage. So the platforms may be eliminated from our consideration. The supreme question for us, the Colored voters, is the attitude of the men towards us. Whichever side wins out the city government will be largely the same. It will be the average kind the citizens demand. We speak from nearly thirty years' residence here and from first-hand knowledge of civic affairs. Now, the only way to judge of a man's attitude toward giving our people, not special privileges,—we do not ask that,—but equal privileges and opportunities of employment, is by what he has done when he has had the opportunity. Of course, we realize that there are circumstances which at times limit the opportunities of the best-intentioned men. We are willing to make due allowances. We are not concerned with the maximum, but the rhinimum. Some men, who are candidates, have shown fairness. Others have not. The Monitor will, therefore, present next week neither slate, but one of its own, which it will urge our people to support. The Monitor slate will be headed by James C. Dahlman because he has been fair to our people. Other names will be taken from both slates. They will be selected, according to our best judgment, solely on the attitude of the candidates to our people in seeing that we secure a fairer representation for our people in the hundreds of positions under the control of the city commissioners. Our vote in the city campaign should be so centralized and used that it will be recognized as a decisive factor. It will be the part of wisdom to swallow neither slate as a whole, but to do some of our own thinking, selecting and slate-making. Let us show our power by a practically united vote in the city campaign and then DEMAND and SECURE not paltry donations, but posi- 4 tions in keeping with our financial and political strength. For the next few days think over and talk about what we can do and ought to do by OUR VOTE IN THE CITY CAMPAIGN. AN APPRECIATED ACKNOWLEDGMENT OUR editorial leader of last week captioned, "Who Is the Trouble-Maker?" has elicited an appreciated acknowledgment from General Ballou, which is published in this issue. We shall defer anything in the way of extended comment on certain points of his letter until a later issue. We simply note now our gratification that the commander of the division did take legal action against the manager of the theater for his illegal act before issuing his bulletin. While both soldiers and civilians are willing to do what they can to minimize the causes for race conflict, it is an exceedingly questionable procedure to permit the one guilty of an illegal act to go unpunished. "God bless my enemies!" said Whistler, the sarcastic American artist and famous critic, and why not? How many men have been made great through the hate of their enemies? Friends have seldom made a man great, in fact, they generally prevent a man from attaining greatness. They flatter, praise, excuse, and hide our faults, and always meet us with a smile and word of kindness, but not so the enemy. He never flatters and never praises. He excuses nothing and exposes rather than hides our faults. He is really the one who helps us most. Many men would never have attained to greatness if it had not been that they had many enemies. Enemies make us work harder and strive more. If you are seeking a place in the work the criticism of your enemies is far more to be desired than the adulation of your friends. Criticism hurts and adulation spoils. Our race would never have reached the present status of improvement had it not been from its enemies and its enemies are what will eventually carry us over the top. May we have them for many years to come. We need them. And with Whistler, let us bless our enemies. GENERAL FOCH OF MIXED RACE General Ferdinand Foch, the man whom Great Britain and France have chosen as commander-in-chief of the Allied Armies, is of mixed blood and comes of a race that is closely identified with Africa. He is a Basque and his original home is with about a half million more Basques who inhabit the northern part of Spain and adjoining southern France. These Basques speak a separate language from the Spanish and are the proudest people of Spain. They trace their ancestry back to the Iberians, the original inhabitants of Spain, who were a branch of the great African confederation of peoples who ruled all the country about the Mediterranean. They still maintain their individuality as a people and boast that no nation has ever conquered them. General Foch and General Dodds, the latter the conqueror of French Africa, are the two French generals often referred to as the mulatto generals of France. GEORGE WELLS PARKER WRITES SPECIAL ARTICLES Mr. George Wells Parker is contributing a series of articles to The Monitor under the caption, "Children of the Sun," which are winning widespread and most favorable comment. Anything from Mr. Parker's versatile pen is worth while. His contributions have been published in some of America's best magazines and The Monitor counts itself both fortunate and happy in having a writer of Mr. Parker's ability on its staff. As we have said before, no paper in the country supplies its readers with better "feature stuff," as it is called in newspaper parlance, than his inimitable "Skits of Solomon," written exclusively for The Monitor. Kindly report your news for The Monitor each week not later than Tuesday, so that we may receive it at our office Wednesday. Report all news to either of the following persons: Mr. Gene Nichols, Mrs. Major Moore or Mrs. Eva Crews. OUR ENEMIES THE MONITOR SKITS OF SOLOMON The science of heredity is that science which tries to prove that you are as you are because your ancestors were as they were and that you wouldn't be as you are if it were not for the fact that your ancestors were as they were because they couldn't have been anything else on account of their ancestors. A rich dude or dudes is about the only person that can dangle with heredity. What ought to be heredity in a poor scamp is usually something ten times worse. To make the proposition more water like we repound the following examples: If a manikin or ladykin of much mazuma appropriates a set of fox furs or a lonesome automobile hitched to the roadside, he or she is excused with much ceremony because of hereditary kleptomania, if some poor purrs a loaf of bread because he is hungry, the law says, "Six months in the county bastile for an unmitigated and inexculsive sense of moral deprivation." Of course, if heredity makes a man steal several million bucks from the dear public, he is a genius and after his robber ancestors are painted and hung up on the palace walls at so many thousand dollars per picture, he shows the open-mouthed gazers the deep point where heredity gave him a hammerlock hold on the art of shaking the shekel tree. In fact, the rich are the only folks who care much about ancestors. Poor folks would, too, but they never get the chance. Scientists claim that man is descended from the monkey and there is so much monkey in most of us that scientists must have some sort of inner sight. It is this monkey business that forms the four legs upon which heredity stands. There is a whole lot more to heredity, but we're getting hungry. That's heredity too. EUROPE LAYS ASIDE OLD RACE PREJUDICES, WHY NOT AMERICA? French Jew Made General. Colonel Gideon Geismar, of the French Artillery, was promoted to be Brigadier-General. He was brought up in orthodox Jewish surroundings and faithfully observes Jewish traditions. As a diversion from his absorbing labors as Chief of Staff of an Army Corps before the war, Brigadier-General Geismar devoted much of his leisure to making translations from Hebrew classic works. Fourteen Jews in Polish Council. According to latest reports from Warsaw, the Jews of Poland will be represented in the Council of the State by fourteen delegates. Of these, ten will be appointed and four will be elected by the municipalities. The Berliner Tageblatt reports that at a solemn sitting of the Warsaw City Council, the Jewish People's Party joined in the protest of the Polish nation against the cession of the Polish province of Cholm to Ukraine. The Zionist organization also joined in the protest. HOUSTON AND EAST ST. LOUIS Comparisons of Houston and East St. Louis riots: Houston—Seventeen white persons killed; thirteen Colored soldiers hanged; forty-one Colored soldiers imprisoned for life; four Colored soldiers imprisoned; five Colored soldiers under sentence of death, temporarily reprieved by the president; forty Colored soldiers on trial for life. White policemen who caused the riot not even indicted. No white army officers tried. (Military law.) East St. Louis—125 Negroes killed; ten Colored men imprisoned for fourteen years; four white men imprisoned fourteen to fifteen years; five white men imprisoned five years; eleven white men imprisoned under one year; eighteen white men fined; one Colored man still on trial for life; seventeen white men acquitted.

Obvious Observations If the Americans had had anything to say about General Foch being commander-in-chief of the allied armies, the chances are he wouldn't have been. Remember how they kept General Dodds from being commander-in-chief of the allied armies before Pekin? Ask why? Because both have a sprinkling of Jigg blood in them. Spring may be here, but the robins must be doing the hesitation. We wonder how Kaiser Bill and Von Hindy are explaining their failure to eat ham-and in Paris on Easter morning? What are you doing to boost the Liberty Loan? We've done well, but we can still do better. A friend of ours told us he had pork chops for breakfast the other morning. It was all right to tell us, but he had better not tell the income tax collector. We thought we had the coal man just where we wanted him, but he has given us the merry ha! ha! again. Did you tell your merchant that you saw his ad in The Monitor and that it was a pipin? Isn't it funny nobody cares anything about Irish potatoes until they start towards three bucks a bushel? Are you reading The Children of the Sun? Read it and then note the increase in your bust expansion. Did you ever stop to think that now is the best time to pay up your subscription? We will now stop in front of the supply station and oil up our engine. Thank you. Letters from Our Readers COMMENDS MONITOR'S ATTITUDE ON STRANGER FROM THE SOUTH Omaha, Neb., April 20. Editor The Monitor: I read with great appreciation an editorial which appeared in The Monitor of the above date, entitled "A Great Privilege and Responsibility." I heartily agree with your attitude and advice concerning the stranger from the South. I hope all of the people in Omaha will read it, for I am sure they will feel the same as you and I. During my experience in Omaha selling real estate I have never seen such activity among our people in purchasing homes. It seems that many of the people from the South come here with the intention of remaining and therefore buy a home after they have been here only a few weeks. This shows for itself the character of people that are emigrating north. Such people should have all the encouragement that we can give them, and I do not think that there should be any restraint of the welcome spirit upon the part of any of us. Sincerely yours, GUY B.

BISHOP OF ZANZIBAR ON GERMAN COLONIES IN AFRICA "THE Black Slaves of Prussia" is the arresting title of a very important open letter addressed, by consent, to Lieutenant General the Right Hon. J. C. Smuts by the Bishop of Zanzibar, the Right Rev. Frank Weston, D.D., on the future of conquered German East Africa, and which is now obtainable, perhaps, at every bookstand in the country. The main portion of the bishop's pamphlet is devoted to a scathing indictment of how the Germans have treated the natives in East Africa under their colonial system. They are not fit, his lordship confidently declares (and there can be but few if any better judges), to rule a subject people. In the first place, their government is founded on cruelty; indeed, we are told, "cruelty is a mild term in which to describe it." They rule by fear and by fear alone. Flogging is carried to extreme lengths, and the details the bishop gives are shocking beyond words. But their fienish inhumanity is further evidenced by their practice of torture. Two cases are related, the victims being friends of the bishop. Forced labor, though nominally forbidden, is common enough. Examples are given from the bishop's personal observation. Worse still, "slavery is a recognized condition under the German flag." As to the future state of the natives these alternatives seem possible to the bishop's statesmanlike mind: "Either the colony (what has been German East Africa) may pass under the British flag and rank with British East Africa, Nyasaland, or Uganda, of it may be placed under our flag, with an international board of inspection in the background." The second alternative he urges with all his driving power. And his plea is made primarily on the ground of devotion to liberty. In conclusion the Bishop of Zanzibar writes in the following noble strain: "Since it is evidently quite impossible to hold inquiries in Africa or to refer these questions to the people (by a referendum), it behooves one who dares to champion the Africans to throw down such a stake as will carry conviction to the British mind. This letter is my stake. For if the Germans return to rule here it will cost me all I hold most dear, my work, my diocese, and my numberless relations with the people of East Africa. All this I am glad to risk that these people may be set free, and our government allowed to fulfil its plighted work and raise liberty to a universal throne."

Our quota for the army and for the navy have been over-enlisted; our obligations to the Red Cross and kindred or- ganizations have been fully satis- fied. In the last Red Cross cam- paign Nebraska stood first per capita of population among all the states of the Nation. In the re- cent campaign for the sale of Thrift Stamps Nebraska again ex- celled all our sister states on a per capita basis. Our people have readily responded in the previous campaign for the sale of Liberty Bonds, and I earnestly urge upon the patriotic Nebraskans that they make a supreme effort to eclipse the state's previous responses to our country’s calls by making the coming Liberty Loan Campaign not only the banner one for Ne- braska, but for the Nation as well.

The Nebraska Liberty Loan eom- mittee is asking every county chair- man to raise a fund to be used in advertising the coming Liberty Loan in every newspaper In each county. ‘The committee will furnish plates in which can be inserted the names of those who contribute to the fund.
