WINNING FAME IN FLANDERS Sable Sammies Sustaining Traditions, and Writing Another Brilliant Page of Achievements in the Military Annals of the World. BULLETIN WITH the American Expeditionary forces in France, June 11. —The French-American forces to night struck the Germans a hard blow all along a front of twelve miles between Rubescourt and St. Maur, the Colored American troops showing conspicuous daring and bravery, recapturing Belloy, Gentlis Wood and the heights between Courcelles and Mortemer. Our boys inflicted heavy loss upon the Boches, delivering a brilliant counter tactical attack upon Gentlis Wood, recapturing it, thus cutting the enemy off from its shelter and exposing them to the concentrated deadly fire of the heavy allied artillery and machine guns. Seeing their progress hindered, the Germans turned toward the other flank and nearly reached Ribecourt to the north of which place the hottest encounters occurred in the woods of Decaslin Court. The enemy was forced to debounce on the plain near the Oise river where he found himself without shelter. The Germans found it necessary to bring forward more divisions to fill the gaps in their ranks caused by the terrific gunfire of the Colored troops. The enemy's possession of the height of Ecouvillon, below Thiescourt, enabled him to filter troops through the small valleys, making the position of the allies occupying the small hillocks perilous and causing them to retire. The whole countryside hereabouts is dotted with these small hills, which are called mountains, forming a kind of bastion, which, when turned from one side or the other, become absolute traps for the occupants. Most of the valleys between run toward the banks of the River Oise. Hence the importance of the bravery of our Colored troops in clearing Gentlis Wood, leaving the enemy with no vantage point from which to enfillade the unprotected inhabitants, is not hard to estimate. Of the 1,000 prisoners captured by all our allied forces on this front 300 Boches were taken by our Colored soldiers and many guns. The Colored soldier is just beginning to write another brilliant page in the history of his country. CAPTURE GERMAN DESPATCH DOGS With the American Army in France, June 7.—A wise Alabama Colored soldier in an organization with the French troops used a novel means to capture German dogs employed to carry despatches to the front line from the enemy rear posts. The soldier got leave to go hunting and killed a fox. Then he crept across "No Man's Land" at night and dragged the fox back along the ground from the German trenches. The following day six German messenger dogs came bounding into the American trenches and were captured by the soldiers.

Highly Honored by 367th Regiment Charles W. Anderson Is Made Honorary Colonel of Famous New York Military Organization for Loyal Services to Government. FIRST TIME TITLE CONFERRED Custom Common in European Countries Hitherto Unknown Here—Will Doubtless Establish Precedent of Honoring Civilians. NEW YORK, June 12—Charles W. Anderson, Supervising Agent of the State Department of Food for Markets, and who was for ten years Collector of Internal Revenue for the New York district, has been made an honorary colonel of the 367th United States Infantry. Although the custom is common in European countries, this is the first time that any man has been so honored in this country. It was awarded to Anderson as a mark of appreciation of his services in organizing Colored regiments and in recognition of the manner in which he has aided the government in many other ways. At the outbreak of the war he collected names of Colored men of fighting age and organized a meeting to encourage enlistments. He introduced Colonel Haywood, commander of Negro regiments in the Spanish-American war, to the assemblage, and the meeting marked the formation of the Fifteenth Regiment of Infantry, the regiment which has been mentioned frequently for daring and courageous service in France. Working with Colonel Moss, commander of the 367th, he has been instrumental in the building of the new auditorium at Camp Upton. Anderson was one of the first to sign the "Stand by the President's letter, and in every way combated the influence of a few leaders who strove to lessen the participation of the Colored man in the war. He has been rendering service as a volunteer member of Draft Board No. 139 since July, 1917. BOMB THROWN INTO CHURCH. St. Louis, Mo., June 8.—A bomb explosion at 12:30 a. m. Thursday wrecked the interior of the First Baptist church, Bell and Cardinal avenues. The bomb was dropped into a committee room in the basement through a window and exploded there. Damage was estimated at $1,000. It was the third attempt in five months to destroy the building. Two other bombs had failed to explode. Detectives working on the case regarded the explosions as a protest of white residents of the community to the location of the church. PUBLISHING HOUSE TO MOVE TO NASHVILLE Nashville, Tenn., June 21.—The publishing house of the C. M. E.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JUNE 22, 1918 SONGS OF THE NEGRO REVEAL HIS SPIRIT Harry Burleigh Calls Attention to Plantation Melodies; Hopes Much from War for Negro. By Minna Lederman in the New York Tribune. "AN unhappy people—but a people of great faith." Harry Burleigh, singer and composer, characterizes his race simply yet with that poetic grace which is the Negro's gift for expressing himself. "Take all the plantation melodies and I challenge you to find one that suggests retaliation. Vengeance, the mood that creates sharp dissonance in the song of the Indian, is never a motif in the song of the Negro. To peace, to truth, to all the cardinal virtues his musical soul was pledged. "His is a lovely acquiescence, Sometimes I feel it is too complete.. Had the Negro risen to shake off his chains and strike his blow, he might have suffered less. "But then, of course, he would have sung less. His religion held him in leash. Singing in reverent community with his fellows, he was purged of all pain. In his faith and his music he was solaced." No one can speak with greater authority upon the Negro spiritual than Harry Burleigh. By his collection and arrangement of this primitive material, he has done more than any composer living or dead, black or white, to focus the serious attention of the public upon it. The very moving melodies, that he or his relatives or friends have heard on the plantations of the south he has furnished with careful yet revealing accompaniments. You may have had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Burleigh himself sing these spirituals with great fervor. The stirring exhortation "Go Down Moses," "Deep River" epic, almost in its yearning and sadness, "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "You May Bury Me in the Eas," the plaintive "By an' By," and that beautiful song "My Lord, What a Morning, When De Stars Begin to Fall," which has caught so equitely the hush and wonder of dawn—these are but a few of the treasures for which we are indebted to Mr. Burleigh. War Will Help Negro. Mr. Burleigh feels that America has been unfair to the Negro. "The public is only just beginning to realize what our musical heritage is. The old minstrels, beginning with Christy's troupe, have done the Negro a great deal of harm. They reflected in exaggerated form the grotesque, the startling features of his dance. NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF WOMEN'S CLUBS VISITS OMAHM Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, who is the national president of the Colored Women's association, an organization representing over 100,000 women, will be an Omaha visitor next week. Mrs. Talbert will speak at St. John's A. M. E. church and the public should eagerly embrace this opportunity of hearing her. It was through her efforts that the mortgage on the Frederick Douglas home at Anacostia was paid off and that historic place preserved for the Race. The association is now addressing itself among other things to securing the enactment of a law that will bring lynching under direct authority of the national government. COLORED SOLDIERS COUNTER ATTACK With the French Army in France, June 11 (By the Associated Press; noon.) The strongest effort made by and America with characteristic superficiality seized on these to exploit and imitate. Our songs, with all their inspiration, their true beauty, were muffled, while the buck and wing and the clog spread wildly through every state in the Union. In the popular mind the Negro figures most vividly as a jigging automaton. "Perhaps he will be more truly felt now. The war will be a great leveler. It will demand sacrifice from us as from the rest of the continent, and I hope it will somewhat approach equality in its rewards. And then, too, the war will strike a blow at the easy frivolity of the American public. Gravity and somber mood will find more relief in our songs of eternal hope, than in our professional cakewalk. Future of Negro Music. Mr. Burleigh is a mon of considerable musical attainment, not to say erudition. Besides his arrangements of the spirituals, he has composed over 100 original songs. They cover a wide range of subjects, and only a few are Negro in their musical content. He has set Walt Whitman's "Ethiopa Saluting the Colors" to a very dramatic accompaniment. A recent work is "The Young Warrior," which has been translated and adopted by Italy as a war song, and has been orchestrated by no less a person than Zandonai, the composer of "Francesca da Rimini." He has a son of eighteen, in whose promise as a musician and poet he takes great pride. The boy is already his father's collaborator. One Sunday, in an old church of Virginia, heard for the first time the melody and words of "I Stood on De Ribbon of Jerdon." Recording them both, he sent them on to Burleigh, who gave it its present popular arrangement. He has also written a great deal of verse, which his father assures me is, some of it, quite extraordinary. "The future of Negro music? It will depend, of course, on some Negro. Not me, but my son perhaps, or his son. The progress of art is slow, and extends over many generations. Meanwhile we will go forward developing our old chants. "Some day, I feel, we may achieve in music a great dramatic form, some new operatic expression. A tremendous merging of dance and verse and song will be our gift to the new world." the Germans in the course of last night and this morning in their new offensive was in the direction of the railroad connecting Estees-St. Denis and Montdidier. The Germans met with such resistance that they renounced for the moment their attempts in this region. Negro troops, supported by entent allied tanks, which did great execution, delivered a brilliant counter attack in this vicinity and recaptured the forest running southwest of Marqueglise, between Perte farm and Loges farm. DONS SHROUD AS DEATH APPROACHES Middlesboro, Ky., June 11.—The undertaking firm of Gibson Brothers, of this city, yesterday received a hurry call for a casket and a shroud, to be sent at once. The undertaker inquired who was dead and was informed that no one was dead yet, but that one Kella Henderson, a Negro woman, was expecting to die and wished to inspect her grave outfit before passing to the eternal beyond. The coffin was delivered and the girl arrayed in her grave clothes and smilingly awaited the visit of the death angel which finally made its appearance and the funeral services were duly held attended by sorrowing relatives and friends. This is the moss unique case on record here of its kind. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GRADUATE NURSES St. Louis, Mo.-The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will convene here August 20, 21, 22, 23, and will be entertained by the local Association of Negro Graduate Nurses. Vol. III. No. 51 (W1. e No. 155) TRENTON HONORS ROBERTS. Trenton, N. J.-Trenton has gone on record as honoring her son, Needham Roberts, one of the two Afro-American soldiers awarded the gold palms in France, by sending the following cablegram: Private Needham Roberts, 369th Infantry. I desire to extend to you the congratulations and thanks of the citizens of Trenton for your inspiring acts of bravery, which have not only reflected glory upon yourself, your city and your race, but which will live forever in the annals of American valor. Trenton is proud of you, her son, who has so gloriously upheld her best traditions on the battlefield. The name of Needham Roberts will have a cherished place in the remembrance of all patriotic Americans long after this conflict shall have ended. Trenton salutes you! FREDERICK DONNELLY, Mayor, Trenton, N. J. Asks McAdoo to Cut Out Jim Crow Cars Ralph W. Tyler Asks for Equal Accommodations on Railroads for Our Soldiers and Speakers Presenting War Aims of Government. PRESENTS CURIOUS ANOMOLY Patriotic American Citizens Compelled to Accept Inferior Accommodations to Which Aliens Are Not Subjected and Pay First Class Fare. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14. Recently Ralph W. Tyler, national secretary of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, sent the secretary of the treasury, Mr. Adoo, who is in charge of the railroads now under government control, a letter asking that some steps be taken to stop the jim crowing of soldiers and speakers presenting the war aims of the government. It is stated that Mr. Tyler in his letter suggested that since the railroads are under government control and this war is in the interest of the oppressed people of the world for the true spirit of democracy, it was hurting to compel soldiers and patriots to accept inferior accommodations to which even aliens are not subjected. Mr. McAdoo, it seems, referred Mr. Tyler's letter to Judge Proply, director of public service, who invited Mr. Tyler to call for a conference on the matter. The conference was held last Tuesday morning. It is reported that Judge Prouty expressed himself as having always believed our people should have equal accommodations and that he expressed sympathy for the Race and his personal views against segregation and discrimination because of color and promised to take the matter up with Mr. McAdoo on his return from the Virginia health resort, where he is now recuperating, Mr. Tyler advised the director that the subjecting of soldiers especially, and the men who had volunteered to deliver speeches presenting the war aims of the government to grossly inferior railroad facilities was hurtful and directly inconsistent with the President's declaration as to why America had entered this war. Judge Prouty is from the state of Vermont. KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT. Dorey McNeeley, Colored proprietor of a pool hall at 2607 N street, South Side, was instantly killed early Sunday morning when an automobile he was driving crashed into a telephone pole near Twenty-fourth and U streets, South Side. McNeeley's neck was broken and his right arm fractured. The accident occurred near a curve in Twenty-fourth, at (the intersection of U street. Due to high speed the machine is thought to have gotten out of control of the driver and dashing up over the curb struck the pole. Five other occupants of the wrecked automobile escaped with but a few scratches. All were Colored people. FORMING WOMEN'S BATTALION.

New York Socialists Nominate Candidates Prominent and Able Colored Men Are Chosen to Run for Congress, the State Senate and the Legislature. REV. GEORGE FRAZIER MILLER Fearless and Outspoken Champion of Human Rights Is Nominated for Congress From Twenty-Second District, Which Has Large Population. NEW YORK, June 21.—Friday evening, June 8th, the socialist party of New York designated three of the ablest Race men in the state of New York as the regular nominees of the party. Both races and both sexes participated in the nominations. The men selected to carry the banner were Dr. George Frazier Miller for congress from the 22d congressional district of the state of New York; A. Philip Randolph for state senator from the 20th senate district of New York, and Chandler Owens for assemblyman from the 31st assembly district of New York city. These districts take in the bulk of the population of the Harlem district, where about 80,000 people are living right together and where the largest Colored Settlement in the world is located. The socialist party in New York is growing rapidly among our people. Last year after a strenuous and efficient campaign waged by A. Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen, the socialist ticket polled about 25 per cent of the race vote. Candidates Men of Ability. Dr. George Frazier Miller is one of the most scholarly ministers in New York, who has always condemned injustices to the Race. He is an A. B. from Howard university, a graduate of the General Theological Seminary, a member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and a student and writer of rare ability. A Philip Randolph is a political scientist from New York City college. Chandler Owen is an A. B. from Virginia Union university and did special graduate work in the school of political science of Columbia university. New York has led the way with men of character and ability who have taken part in nearly every real uplift movement in this city for the last five or ten years. Let the Race citizens throughout the country lend all their aid to the election of these men, who will help to strike the blow for the liberation of their brothers and the oppressed peoples throughout the world. JACK JOHNSON WANTS TO FIGHT FOR COUNTRY Undefeated, but Ex-World Champion, an Exile From Home, Anxious to Do His Bit—Seeks Assistance of New York Congressman. Paris, June 12.—Jack Johnson, the American pugilist, now in Madrid, wants to fight for his country. He has written the following letter to Captain E. H. LaGuardia, representative in congress from New York: "After my talk with you yesterday it occurred to me to ask you to use your good offices in my behalf. I am as good an American as anyone living and naturally I want to do my bit. I firmly believe I wasn't fairly treated at home. "All I ask now is a chance to show my sincerity. There's no position I would consider too dangerous. I am willing to fight and die for my own country. I cannot offer any more. "Will you kindly make my offer known to the proper authorities? I am anxiously awaiting a reply." Captain La Guardia referred the letter to the adjutant general. FIREMAN RESIGNS AFTER LONG SERVICE St. Paul, Minn, June 20.—P. H.

Leaving LaGrange on the 7th inst where I had spent more than two months in recuperating from an at- tack of nerves which threatened a complete breakdown of the whole sys- ‘tem, I arrived in Houston to find it in holiday attire, us the grand lodge of K. of P. was to open its session here Monday, June 10th, which they ee as per schedule. ‘The formal opening was marked by ‘the splendid addresses of the wel- jcoming and responding orators. The sessions of both the Pythians und the Courts of Calanthe were daily ex- amples of the efficiency of the grand officers of this great fraternal orgun- ization. | The last day, Friday, ended in a blaze of glory with a street parado of the Uniform Rank, headed by Race policemen and brass band, followed by the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court officers in automobiles, which |made a splendid pageant.

After ® prayer service the following resolu- tions were adopted and sent to Presi- dent Wilson and Governor Dorsey: “Whereas, The Negro womanhood of Georgia has been shocked by the lynching of Mary Turner at Valdosts Sunday, May 19,1918, for an alleged unwise remark in reference to the lynching of her husband; and “Whereas, We the Negro women of the state are aroused by this unwar- ranted lawlessness and are discour- ged and crushed by a spirit of hu- miliation and dread; and “Whereas, We deplore the migra- tory movement of the Negro from the South, yet we cannot counsel them to remain in the light of these con- ditions under which we live; and “Whereas, Our labor is in these cot- ton and cornfields and rice swamps, end in this frightful hour of the great world war, our sons and husbands are giving their lives in defense of the country we all love so dearly; and “Whereas, In every forward move- ment in our national life the Negro has come to the front and shared in the advance and crimsoned every field of strife from Boston to ‘no man’s land,’ for the principles held sacred by every true American; and “Whereas, We feel that our lives are unsafe as long as this iniquitous institution exists; “We therefore are asking that you use all the power of your great office to prevent similar occurrences ant! punish the perpetrators of this foul deed and urge that sure and swift justice be meted out to them.” (Signed.) “Colored Federated Clubs.” ‘The following reply was received from the president: “The White House, Washington, May 31, 1912, “My Dear Madam: “The President directs me to ac- knowledge the receipt of your tele- gram of recent date, and to say that le is bringing it to the attention of the Attorney General.” “J.

Earl Jones, W. M.; James Tubbs, W. S. MUST CUT IN WHEAT Need for Limitation in Consump- tion Very Great. Food Administration Corrects False Impression Given by Recent News Dispatches, ‘Washington.—Recent press dispatch: es widely circulated through the coun- try have given the wholly false impres- sion that there is no longer need fot rigorous conservation of wheat and flour, ‘The food administration de- clares that every aspect of the wheat situation, both present and prospec: tive, intensifies the need for the great: est possible limitation in the American consumption of wheat and wheat prod: ucts. If present restrictions should be in the slightest degree relaxed it would result in serious want for the people of Kurope before the new crop can reach the market. The food administration's estimate of the position on the first of June in- dicates a total available supply until the new harvest, including the grain which will be available from the farms, in country and terminal elevators, and mill elevators, of about.56,000,000 bush- els, Of this 30,000,000 bushels must be exported before new wheat is ayail- able for export if we are to maintain the absolutely necessary shipments to our army and the allies, ‘That leaves about 26,000,000 bushels for domestic consumption for the next two months, Normal American consumption is something over 40,00,000 bushels a month, so that the most liberal con- sumption at home would be only one- third of normal, ‘The harvest will not be generally available in flour until the middle of August or early September, although in the extreme South it will be some- what earlier. So long as the war lasts, with its increasing drafts for soldiers and munition workers, the world will steadily produce less food. If we are wise, a great harvest will mean the willing building up of great national reserves. “SONG WILL WIN WAR” iE ae SIE ray. 4 he od eg Be boifies BE > 8 Wak “etn i. ee: , 2 Lr 2 og y a i 1 Me Ee Ae a Mes ee Re me ee | , ee ‘MC Salar CI SRE 7 Fy So declares Emma Roberts, the con- tralto, who was cb osen to represent America’s best type in the muste fes tival at Ann Arhor and the great Bach festival at Bethlehem, Pa, “A nation ts represented by its songs The national anthems of America Franee and England are spiritual, up: lifting, and inspiring; the national anthem of Germany is aggressive and nequisitive—and breathes bondage. “Don't you see that the songs of the allies express a people bound to con quer? “So Important Is this subject,” con inues Miss Roberts, “that colleges are establishing bureaus to study the gov: ernment singing ¢lasses in camps to inspire soldiers through song.

Government Must Have Metal If War Machine Is to Be Kept : Going. | Washington, D. C.—The newest type of slacker and one who is doing his country a great amount of harm, 1s the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum JeweRy, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country is and for many years will be desperately in need of the scarée and precious platinum in Its industrial work and must have it if the war ma- ‘chine Is to go full speed ahead. A plan proposed by the federal offi- (lals would stop the use of platinum in jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the government who are in close touch with the situa- tion are filled with apprehension as to the future supply of platinum. * In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the government in its war program, the war Industries board has ordered that 75 per cent of the stock of platinum in the hands of manufacturing jewelers be comman- deered and also the complete stock held by refiners, importers.and_deal- ers, but this, it is said, will only fil) a small gap and that temporarily. It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of Jewelry would demand gold and silver or a white alloy and se release platinum for its highest use, but the results have been disappoint: ing. ‘The American Chemical society, an organization composed of the leading 12,000 chemists of the country, whick is also buck of this movement, has is sued an appeal to the people not under any circumstances either during the war or after the war to use platinum Jewelry, but to conserve this unique and fast dwindling metal now priced at five times the cost of gold for the exclusive use of the chemical and other necessary industries, ° ] SOLDIER INDIAN NAMES WORRY THE SERGEANT j ¢ Camp Tawis, American Lake, $ wash—sioux from the Dakotas | § and Chippewas from Minnesota 1 are worrying the first sergeant ] J of the ‘Twenty-fitth company ¢ © One Hundred and Sixty-sixth | £ Depot brigade here. ‘The In- { dians, inducted into the na- 7 tonal army, insist on keeping ; $ their tribal names and are so § 4 entered upon the roster, ‘The re- J 1 sult ts that roll call every morn: J $ ine sounds Ike this: ' © “Johnny — Chase-the-Weasel, $ Look-ns-You-Sit, Sleep-as-This- | I Is-the-Water, Mist-Over-the-Wa- ] { ter, Charlie See-the-Elk, Ante- $ lope, Middle Rapids and Blue 4 4 Bird, i i i 0—0-0-0-0—0—0.0-0-0-0—e—0-# BARBERS BEMOAN TRADE LOSS Women Who Are Taking Men's Places in Industries Are Not Helping Toneorlal Artiet.

Many thousands of acres have been cleared already, and the work is still going on. A big dairy is also operated, and in time all the beef, milk and cheese needed on the isthmus may be pro- duced there. ‘The guinea grass originally was an African plant, but has been establish- ed in the West Indies and parts of the continent for a long time. It is a heavy, rank grass, often reaching a height of ten feet, stooling freely and rooting deeply. It is particularly val- uable, as it destroys almost any other vegetation, a quality of great utility in the tropies. It propagates both from seed and roots and spreads quite rap- idly. ‘The para grass is grown in a limited extent also in low and wet soils. It is not as desirable as guinea grass, but is eaten by both cattle and horses. Para grass is the great prevailing plant of the lower Amazon valley, as It is not injured by the periodic inundations. ‘The cattle industry in the canal zone is especially favored by the fact that Gatun lake supplies plenty of water during the dry season, its branches ramifying through the many hills and mountains and making fresh water avilable in all the pastures. ‘The zone may support a herd of 100,000 head of cattle without trenching upon the areas used for agricultural and hortl- cultural purposes. | BROWN CREEPER x ue, eo “hee “pe eee BN Ave ak e | dee AN ee aN et “Ge aN BAe Ty a a> > if eo as BS gy faa a OU fe we GA SS Length, five and one-half inches.

They have nominated three Colored men for prominent national and state offices, Congressman, State Senator and Assemblyman. And the men they have selected are among the foremost and ablest men in character and ability to be found in the state. They are not professional politicians, for professional politicians are scarce among socialists, but high-class, earnest men with sincere convictions on certain governmental policies. And the fundamental principles of socialism are economically and ethically sound and are influencing the trend of legislation today more generally than men think. Governmental control of railroads, for example, and municipal ownership of public utilities, are important features of the socialistic program; and there is a tremendous trend of sentiment in this direction today, which shows whither we are tending. In our judgment, the socialist party is the coming political party in the United States. Certainly much that socialists advocate must be incorporated into the political program of the future. But to return to the action of the New York socialists. Their action is thoroughly in keeping with their principles, for, as we understand it, they recognize neither race nor sex as a qualification for office holding, but character and ability. In this they are many years in advance of the old line parties. George Frazier Miller, whom they have nominated for congress, is one of the foremost clergymen of New York. For more than twenty years he has been rector of St. Augustine's church, Brooklyn, and although naturally of a studious and retiring disposition, he like many of his brethren, by the very force of civic and national conditions, has been thrust into the forefront of civic racial activities. And he has not been found wanting. Whether he is elected or not, he deserves and will undoubtedly receive a large vote. We hope for his election; because we need representatives in congress, with broad-mindedness, vision, ability and moral courage, and he has these qualifications in an eminent degree. The men whom the socialists have nominated for the state senate and the assembly or legislature, Mr. Randolph and Mr. C. Owen, are like Dr. Miller, men of the highest and best type. We hope that these men may also be elected. With the strong Colored vote in the districts from which these men are chosen they ought to run well. Of course, the great majority of our people are still wedded to the republican party, although thousands are beginnig to think differently, and it remains to be seen whether partisanship or race pride in this case will prove the stronger. The Colored American's almost servile and slavish devotion to the republican party may prevent his supporting even men of his own race of the highest character, ability and loyalty, if nominated by any other party. The socialist party gives the Colored American an opportunity he has long desired. Will he embrace this opportunity? The action of the New York socialists will force the hand of the old line parties and compel them to give the race recognition on their respective tickets if they wish to retain or secure our political support. Moreover, it will have a far-reaching influence upon thousands of intelligent and thoughtful Colored Americans who are thinking hard. Thought is a great emancipator. Socialists are responsible for starting many men and women, too, thinking politically along other than the traditional lines. The New York socialists have shown noteworthy political wisdom. They have also shown commendable consistency. "ONE HUNDRED PER CENT EFFICIENCY" UNDER the above caption the St. Louis Argus published in last week's issue the following forceful and timely editorial every word of which we most heartily indorse: "One hundred per cent efficiency of our man power is essential in the great conflict that confronts the nation just now. When the war broke out in Europe four years ago, the country naturally was not prepared; but we are preparing now. It is the duty of the nation to see that every man that is called or is subject to call, be he black or white, is given the opportunity to register 100 per cent in efficiency. "We are very much gratified with the statement that nearly four thousand Negroes are soon to be selected for special training in mechanical and scientific courses, which are being offered by the government. This is right as it should be. The Negro has made good. He has shown to the world that he is capable of mastering the sciences as other men. This is a step in the right direction on the part of the government. It should go just a step farther. Colored men will make good gunners for our navy. It is, however, humiliating to say, that they only make good "mess attendants." Too, they will make good volunteer soldiers; but, it is mortifying, when we think of them as being "best fitted as stevedores." They make good in all places of trust. We venture to say that there would be less fire which destroys property valued at millions of dollars and hundreds of lives, if Negroes were given more places of trust. There are hundreds of ways in which the Negro could render the nation valuable service if he were only given a chance. Why should he be kept back? Why not give the Negro the opportunity to register one hundred per cent efficiency? THE TASK. It is reported from Washington that a number of Colored orators are to be sent by the government into all parts of the country to arouse the patriotism of the race for our country and this war. It will be a gigantic task and it will take Titans to accomplish it. Not only must the speakers be scholars, but they must be psychologists. The heart of the Colored race is most certainly with our country, but it needs something more than mere words to stir the latent fires. Stirring rhetoric and visionary pictures may suffice for the moment and bring forth applause, but it needs be that each man and woman and child carry home a burden of thoughts whose subtle power will eventually convince them that their every effort must be expended in helping our country on toward victory. The ammunition of these orators must be facts and not fancies They must be able to convince beyond the shadow of a doubt. The Colored man and woman feel it is war is not their war. They remember the treatment of the race in south and in the north, as well, and are slow to understand why this government goes forth with the slogan, "Make the world safe for democracy," and yet neglects to put its own house in order. All this must be explained and it must be explained by men of broad vision and deep sympathies; men whose hearts can harmonize with the minors as well as with the majors of present American life. These craters must have the magic to pour oil upon our wounds and to heal with the mystic witchery of words that soothe and convince. This can be done and it is our hope that it will be done, but again we say that it is task for Titans and not for Lilliputians. DR. CHARLES C. ALLISON N the death of Dr. Charles C. Allison Omaha loses not only one of her most eminent physicians and surgeons, but the poor have lost a philanthropic friend.

THE MONITOR The Children of the Sun By George Wells Parker This article is to be somewhat of an historical medley. So vast is Asia and so many are the empires that rose and fell there, it might be tedious to review each one and try to give an interesting story of its rise and fall and its contributions to civilization. In a general way I have afforded evidence from modern archeologists as to the African character of the primitive inhabitants of Asia—the people who nourished the beginnings of civilization and pass them on to latter peoples. Perhaps Rawlinson, the renowned English archeologist and historian, has made this plainer than any other of his time. He says: "The Chaldaman monarchys rather curious from its great names or admirable extent of its dominions. Less ancient than the Egyptians, it claims the advantage of priority over every empire or kingdom which has grown up upon the soil of Asia. The Arian, Turanian, and even Semetic tribes, appear to have been in the nomadic condition, when the Cushite settlers (black races) of lower Babylonia betook themselves to agriculture, erected temples, built cities, and established a strong and settled government. The leaven which was to spread by degrees through Asiatic peoples was first deposited on the shores of the Persian gulf at the mouth of "The Great River," and hence civilization science, letters, art, extended themselves northward and eastward and westward. Assyria, Media, Semetic Babylonia, Persia, as they derived from Chaldea the character of their writing, so were indebted to the same country for their general notions of government, and administration. for their architecture, for their decorative art and still more for their science and literature. Chaldea stands forth as the great parent and original inventress of Asiatic civilization, without any rival that can reasonably dispute her claim." Indeed this is a great tribute to an African mother. I have already quoted authorities who testify as to the African kinship of the Babylonians, Assyrians, Syrians and other Asiatics of the Mesopotamian Valley. Let us consider other parts of Asia now. Lieut. Col. Smith in his "Human Species," gives Colchis as the northern limit of Ethiopian extension, and this is true as far as written history is concerned. You may recollect that Herodotus tells us that it was at Colchis that Sesostris, the Egyptian conqueror, planted a colony, and it is a historic fact that the descendants of this military association, presenting the dark skin and woolly hair of Africa, were long distinguished from the nations of the district. It is even asserted to this day that it is possible to find Circassians whose blood might be traced to the soldiers of Sesostris. In mythology this country will be remembered as the destination of Jason and his Argonauts in their search for the Golden Fleece. SKITS OF SOLOMON. Any son of a ukelele who anticipates a grand spoutation from old Sol at the present moment needs some drug besides Jamaica ginger. For the three hundredth time Sol has tried to stem the rivers of prespiration long enough to play old faithful and hand out his weekly hunk of massacred English to the yawning millions, but it "ain't" no go. The thermometer is too high toned and too uppish. Further, is is dead to all flattery, abjuration and cuss words. It made up its mercurial mind to ascend and ascended it has, and that without any prospect of immediate descendence. In ye winter time we can hammer on the typewriter until it has rheumatism, but that is because we are keeping warm. In the spring we are hammer because we all get the microbus poetics feverus and feel that we can knock every literary maverick off the shelves of the hall of fame. But in the weather of the heat amide. In the ice water. Old Solomon has tried to be faithful and hurl a ten-inch shell of condensed nonsense at you every Saturday, but this week he renigs and throws his thirteen trumps into the waste basket. He has tried everything from Japanese fans down to Christian Science in an effort to josh his corporality into the ecstatic stage of imaginative coolness, but they won't work. They are nunk. The Sun, for some reason on other, has got it in for this little old planet and is handing it the very antithesis of heaven. How long it will last we do not know, but BE LIEVE ME! old Solomon of the skittishness is going to lay aft starboard on pink lemonade and shade trees until friend earth raises the white flag and the Sun gives us a flag of truce. Heat. Leaving Colchis and moving southward we come into Asia Minor and Armenia and here again we find the ever present African strain. Asia Minor was the seat of Ancient Troy and you may recollect when you read your Homer how that Priam, king of Troy, sent to Ethiopia for his cousin to come and help him in his struggle against the Grecians. Throughout this region of the world we find evidences of it having been occupied by a people or a confederation of peoples, the African confederation of which Alexander Winchell speaks and whom I quoted before. Here, too, was the Hittite people, one of the greatest nations of the ancient world, but of which little is known because the remains of their civilization have all but disappeared. It is by the discovery of their treaties with other nations that we know how really great they were. Once the Hittites became a dangerous rival of Assyria and their power was not broken until the seventh century B. C. In Persia we note also the persistent strain of this ever present people. It is accepted today by all great scientists that the founders of the Medo-Persian empire were not the original inhabitants. When the Semites carried their expeditions into Media, the kings they fought did not bear Aryan names and not until the time of the Sargonids de we note a change. Berossos tells us of a Median dynasty ruling in the remotest times which was African and that it had nothing in common with the Semites or Aryans. We know, too, that genuine wooly haired Negro clans existed in Laristan and Mekran in Persia and even on the Hellmund and that their descendants are still to be found in great numbers. To realize the greatness of the peoples in these parts of Asia one must read their histories. They were great and really majestic. Warriors most of them may have been, but with war they carried on the cause of art, literature, sculpture and science. From the distance of centuries they accomplished much that was worthy and much that makes the present and future indebted to them forever. In the next article I shall treat of the Jews and of Phonecia. As a prelude to what I may haveto say about the Jews, let me call your attention to the fact that Abraham, the father of the Jews, came from the Ur of the Chaldees. Remember that Chaldea was African and couple with this the fact that many African tribes and nations claim that this same Abraham was the father of their race. Put two and two together and it may be that you can guess something of what I shall tell you next time of the Jews, the race that claim itself the chosen people and the one pure race in all the world. There may be pure races, but no pure race ever amounted to anything in the history of the world. Hold up your head, throw back your shoulders, feel, walk and act like a man. Never apologize for your race or color; but thank God that he has made you as you are and has given you your daily task to do, by the faithful doing of which you will become stronger and stronger. Despise and shun meanness in yourself and in others. Be too big to be small; too magnanimous to be little. Preserve your spirit of kindness and warm heartedness. These are priceless assets. WORK TO BE DONE AT HOME Do you know that there is a great deal of real good work for us to do right here in Omaha? And what is true of Omaha is doubtless true of every other large city where our people are to be found in large and ever-increasing numbers. There is a tremendous opportunity and a crying need for intelligent, aggressive, co-operative social work for protecting, uplifting and helping our people. Better housing conditions, for example, are needed. How are we to secure them by sitting down and doing nothing? Are public institutions supported in part by our taxes taking the same care of our people as of others? Did you ever think about it or make inquiries? We spend entirely too much time with "pink teas" and "whist parties," and like social pleasantries and pastimes, when there are so many serious and vital needs demanding our energy and attention. Think on these things and then act. Patronize those who advertise with us and tell them you saw their ad in The Monitor. Our advertisers are your best friends. Let's all pull together.

Mrs. Nancy Jefferson of 3020 R street, South Side, and a resident of Omaha for over forty years, died at the University hospital with pneumonia early Sunday morning, after a few days' illness in the seventy-fifth year of her age. The funeral, attended by a large number of friends and neighbors of both races, who esteemed her highly for her kindly heart and loving deeds, was held from Larkin's chapel Wednesday afternoon at 2:30, the Rev. John Albert Williams of St. Philip's Episcopal church, officiating, interment being in Laurel Hill cemetery, Albright. The only close relative by whom she is survived is her son, William, a resident of Alberta, Canada. Mrs. William Foran, in whose family Mrs. Jefferson had nursed for many years, was most attentive to her in her illness and took charge of the funeral arrangements. PREACHER HELD FOR TREASON Jackson, Miss, June 21.—Charles Mason, a Negro pastor of the Church of Christ in America at Lexington, Miss., was arrested here by federal agents charged with obstructing the selective draft, and making false statements for the purpose of promoting the cause of Germany. It is claimed that he distributed a large amount of disloyal literature emanating from Los Angeles. THE MONITOR FOR BOYS IN FRANCE Y. M. C. A. Orders Fruit Flavors for One Million Summer Drinks. One million ice cream sodas. A-ah! Sufficient to cool the throats of a flock of giraffes—ice cold, fizzy, flavored with "strobry," "razbry," "cherry," "peach or pineapple." Um-m! They may not seem so imposing here, with soda fountains on every important business corner, but—oh, boy! won't they be sample packages of heaven to the American boys over in the war zone? Over there where, if reports be true, drug stores, masquerading as chemists' shops, try to get by with nothing but drugs. France's pet drinks, champagne and red wine, are going to turn an absinthe green with jealousy this summer when the great American drink begins fizzing along the battle front and going over the top of the glasses. And the assurance of at least a million fruit-flavored drinks as a starter is found in the cabled order just received by C. V. Hibbard, general secretary of the overseas department of the Y. M. C. A. war work council, from the organization's official in France. The message follows: "Send quickly concentrated fruit sirups for one million summer drinks." And the Y. M. C. A. war work council has a way of sending quickly anything ordered sent quickly. So it is a sure thing that when the heat begins to give the American soldier boys an awful thirst, they will turn gratefully from the trenches to the "Y" huts where they received hot chocolate last winter, and there they will clamor for a "strobry," or a "razbry sody." Possibly to assure plenty of foam, the same cablegram ordered the war work council to send one ton of shaving soap, while the other creature comforts for soldiers, among the items required, were four American pool tables, ten tons chocolate bars, ten tons granulated sugar, ten tons flour, ten tons assorted cigarettes and five tons smoking tobacco. GIRLS TO RAISE PIGS There Are 500 Young People Enrolled in Contest. Seven girls will raise thoroughbred pigs this year in Tuscarawas county, O., to compete in state and county contests. Five hundred boys and girls are enrolled in corn, pig, poultry, clothing and food clubs under the supervision of Miss Minnie Porter, county leader of boys' and girls' club work. Poultry raisers already have set 3,750 purebred eggs for hatching. The seven girls who will raise pigs are Thelma Shoemaker of Tuscarawas. Phyllis Hoopengarner and Grace McCullough of Winfield, Margaret Schlemmer of Strasburg, Mary Strebt and Mary Lieser of Parrall and Zelda Wiegand of Sugar creek township. These girls will try to bring the pig raising championship of the state to this county. Two years ago the champion pig grower in Ohio was a girl. It was said her success was due to the fact that she gave her pig a bath once a week. HUNTERS DISCOVER LAKE It Was in Their County but They Never Heard of It. The Salina Gun club has found a large lake near Salina, Kan., for the fall and spring hunting seasons, and has leased the property for a term of years as a private reserve. The lake is in the southern part of the county, and many of the old-time hunters never knew of its existence until this spring. The lake covers 30 acres, and when it has been improved, including a large dam, the surface covered with water will be about 40 acres. On one side of the lake there is a sandy beach with the water running from shallow to deep water and it may be made a bathing place. It is also filled with fish of several varieties. Lumber is now being shipped to the place for a house which will be erected at once. The Gun club will have the exclusive use of the property. WESLEY IS FIGHTING MAD Because He Was Rejected by Marines on Account of Defective Teeth. John Paul Wesley, a patriotic young man of St. Paul, Minn., is mad. In fact he is not only fighting mad, but greatly disappointed. The cause for John Paul's sad anger and disappointment is that he was rejected for the U. S. marine corps because of defective teeth. "Sherman said war is h—l," stormed John Paul, "but I think your examination is even worse. Just because I'm not able to bite the kaiser, I'm rejected. What do you want me to do, kill 'em and then eat 'em too?" "Sorry, old man," said Sergt. Frank Buck. "Go see a dentist and then come back. Maybe there'll be a chance then."

She will continue study next year in the department of soviol- ogy. Wendell E. Green, her husband a graduate from the University vf Kansas, is in the law department of the University of Chicago. NEGRO BISHOPS FOR THE . EPISCOPAL CHURCH A few months ago the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas elected Archdea- con E. T. Demby, a Colored man, to the bishopric to supervise the work of the Colored church in the province of the southwest. Two weeks ago the Episcopal diocese of North Carolina elected Archdeacon H, B. Deianey also a Colored man, to the bishopric, with supervision over the work of the Colored churches in North and South Carolina. In the normal evolution of affairs, it is perfectly natural to ex- pect that Colored men of distinction shall sooner or later be placed in posi- tions of high trust in church, in in dustry and in civie life. In the church it has thus been given the Episcopal communion to lead the way. It is to be hoped that the Methodist Episcopal church will soon follow suit. Truly Etheopia is stretching forth her hand unto God—the God of justice, of op- portunity and of fair play—The In dianapolis Ledger. ANOTHER SAMPLE OF DEMOC- RACY FROM DIXIE’S ANGLE Hattiesburg, Miss., June 13.—The question of carrying Colored soldier ky taxi operators between Camp Shel- by and Hattiesburg is being discussed by the military authorities at Camp Shelby. An order was carried into effect yesterday directing the drive of cars to take Colored passengers. Several of the taxi drivers refused to do so, and their licenses were taken from them by the military police. The taxi drivers held a meeting, and agreed under no circumstances to transport Colored and white passen- gers in the same car. They arruc that it would be an infringement of the “Jim Crow” laws of the state. Several of the operators have offered to provide separate cars for the Col- ored soldiers. Brigadier Genoral Hudson, division commander, has the matter under advisement. THE MONITOR PARIS IS GAY DESPITE WAR People Accept All Privations in Cheerful Mood, Swiss Writer Says.

Berne.—The correspondent of the Berne Bund sends his paper a de scription of life in Paris, which is published under the caption, “War Life in France; Paris as It Bats «ad Saves.” The article says: “Who would have thought possible before the war a world city in exist- ence two days’ march behind the bat- tle front? During the first war weeks, after the government's departure to Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat deserted. But since then everything is back, The big hotels never did better than Just now.

Used to Uniforms. “The Parisian long tigo became used to the uniforms and forgot that once there was a time when women were the only ones who added color to a street scene, Man gets used to every- ‘hing. After a while one fouid the dark streets quite natural, One paid the high war prices without blinking. One submitted to the necessity of a sugar card and learned to get along with a moderate eoal supply in win- ter. “Lately, however, the Parisian ex- perienced things that reminded him of the war rather impressively. Tha latest visit of German airplanes re- suited in energetic measures for pro- tection. At all the beautiful monu- ments sand bags are piled high, On many large buildings tablets are posted saying there is a bombproof cellar there and how many people it will shelter, When darkness appears Paris wraps itself in a bitte veil, which is very becoming. “The electric are lights, the gas lan. terns of ull descriptions are painted blue. In tram cars, in the subway, in the suburban trains the light Is blue. Brisk auto traffic is not without dan- ger under such circumstances, Practice Economy. “Measures of economy are now taken up in earnest. Who wants to drink sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring his own sugar or be satisfied with the saccharine tablet the waiter will hand him, Cakes, pastry and candy are not made any longer, Confectioners are put entirely out of business, The tea houses, too, are In a bad fix, No more sugar or sweetmeats, not even sand- wiches, are to be had, And two francs for such a cup of tea Is a pretty good price, “The authorities figure everybody will be sensible enough to see that saving Is the patriotic duty of every hon-combatant, Clever posters tell the people transportation of food takes up cargo space that ought to be used for American troops and war material. So every citizen can see he will hasten the arrival of American help and thus support the French poilu by his own snntaration ati uhelemtonaann” INDIANS GIVE TO RED CROSS Pay $900 for Dress, $400 for Mocca- sins and $1 for Tom Cats in South Dakota. ‘Terre Haute—Mrs. Mary Elliott, government nurse and Red Cross agent at the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota, writes to a brother here about a Red Cross sale at the agency at which all the money taken in, $8,750, was from Indians. An Indian boys’ quartet sang “There'll Be No Kaiser There.” An old Indian woman, whose earthly possessions were $1,000 cash, paid $900 for a dress.

Although Germany, while yet a “friend,” intrigued against our peace and order, urged Japan and Mexico to make war on us, and murdered our ‘men, women and children, there are those among us professing loyalty and intelligence who practically say this is not our war and appear unable to real- ize that the defeat -of the boche is as vital to us Americans as was the vle- ltory of 1776. ‘Then we declared for independence ; inow we fight to maintain it, | Tt fs not merely that we fight in answer to indignity and material in- Jury done us through attack on our rights as a nation and on the lives of our citizens—not merely to uphold our place among self-respecting peo- ples—that we are at war; but literally for our self preservation as a republic.

Cashaw Whaherg | HORNED LARK" «ih Ty \ 4 ee Pe A Wate Length, about seven and three fourths inches. The black mark across the breast and the small, pointed tufts of dark feathers above and behind the eyes distinguish the bird. Range: Breeds throughout the United States (except the South At- lantic and Gulf states) and Canada; winters in all the United States ex cept Florida. Habits and economic status: Horned larks frequent the open coun: try, especially the plains and deserts, They associate in large flocks, are hardy, apparently delighting in ex- posed situations in winter, and often nest before snow disappears. The flight is irregular and hesitating, but in the breeding season the males ascend high in air, singing as they go, and pitch to the ground in one thril- ling dive, The preference of horned larks 1s for vegetable food, and about one-sixth of this is grain, chiefly waste. Some sprouting grain is pulled, but drilled grain is safe from injury. Cali- fornia horned larks taxe much more grain than the eastern birds, specializ- ing on oats, but this is accounted for by the fact that oats grow wild over much of the state. Weed seeds are the largest single element of food. The insect food, about 20 per cent of the whole, includes such pests as May beetles and their larvae (white grubs), leat beetles, cloverleat and clover- root weevils, the potato-stalk borer, nut weevils, billbugs, and the chinch bug. Grasshoppers are a favorite food, and cutworms are freely eaten. The horned larks, on the whole, may be considered useful birds, GOOD GROCERIES ALWAYS Cc. P. WESIN GROCERY CO.

Washington.—The manner in which Australia is meeting the problem of repatriating the men fighting in Europe is described in dispatches to the bureau of foreign and domestic com- merce. Much interest was aroused by the dispatches, as foreshadowing what the United States must do when the tide of disabled men begins to flow westward. Two principles form the basis of the Australian system: First, that the purpose is to secure the re-establishment of returned soldiers in the industrial life of the community; second, that as a soldier abandoned his civil calling to serve the state, it is the duty of the state to sustain him until an opportunity for such re-establishment is assured. Subsistence wages will be paid to men seeking employment or being trained in technical schools. The amounts will vary according to the number of dependents, the maximum being £3, 6 shillings, or approximately $16.50. A feature of the vocational training planned will be national workshops, wherein men whose injuries preclude the possibility of their ever becoming competent to earn their living as normal workmen will be educated to new tasks and perhaps employed permanently. The totally and permanently disabled will be provided for in hostels, or, alternately, by special grants supplementary to their pensions, if they prefer to remain with their friends. Widows desirous of learning some useful trade will be afforded the necessary training and sustenance. Advances of money will be made in certain cases for the establishment of small businesses, for tools and for transit to employment. Australia also is following the practice of the United States after the civil war of granting land to returned soldiers. Major Blezard, who took part in the historic landing at Gallipol and was severely wounded, has been granted 700 acres near Echuca. GREEK KING VISITS ALLIES DAPHNE Underwood & Underwood FRENCH OFFICIAL PHOTO King Alexander of Greece is shown here coming out of an Italian bombarding dug-out that he inspected during his recent visit, to the allied forces at Salonikl. The youthful Greek king also reviewed one of the British regiments in Greece. LETTER WRITING THE RAGE Pretty French Stenographer Is Cause of Literary Epidemic Among the Marines. Somewhere in France.—Letter writing has become all the rage among the wounded United States marines confined to the base hospitals here. The reason is a French stenographer, a pretty one, too, who has volunteered to write letters home for her incapacitated American brothers. The petite Parisienne makes a daily visit to the Marine hospitals for dictation—and the wounded devil dogs have suddenly become literary giants. They anxiously await her visits and fairly swamp her with mail. "Gee, if I only had about three more aunts and slx more cousins to write to," sighed one husky sea-Soldier, as the pretty little "steno" moved on to the next cot. USE BURIED COIN FOR BONDS Mountaineers of Tennessee Dig Up Thousands of Dollars to Invest In Liberty Bonds. Johnson City, Tenn.—Thousands of dollars in money that had been buried by the mountaineers of east Tennessee was dug up recently and invested in Liberty bonds. Gold and silver currency was lifted from fireplace corners, dug up from under the garden trees and taken from the trunks of hollow onks. Some of the money paid for the bonds dated back more than half a century. The third loan is the only one in which the mountaineer argely participated. THE MONITOR TELLSOFBRUTALITY OF HUN OFFICERS German Deserter Describes Brutal Treatment Inflicted on Men in Army. FATHER CRIPPLED FOR LIFE Crimes Will Darken History of Kaiserism Forever, When People of the World Learn the Whole Marlon, O.—Curt Hadlich, a young German mechanic employed in local shops, one-time aviator in the German army, soldier of fortune and finally an American citizen, not only believes the stories of German brutality that have come from across seas but he thinks when the whole story has been told crimes that will darken the pages of the history of kaiserism forever will come to the people of the world. They will be told not only by victims but by the very soldiers of the kaiser himself, Hadlich thinks. He is a deserter from the German army because of treatment he could not stand. His father is a life cripple from the inligurities of peace times. "The German soldier is treated like a dumb animal." says Hadlich. "He must grin and bear it—there is no appeal." Hadlich's story perhaps is the more interesting because he has traveled enough, seen enough and learned enough outside the confines of Germany to appreciate conditions that exist there. Father Crippled for Life. "My father is a living example of the effects of German militarism," he said. "After the war, if he still is living, I expect to have him come to this country: to live as God intended people should live. He too can tell stories of how brutal German officers are to the soldiers under them. "Like all young Germans, he entered military service when he was twenty. One day his company was practicing scaling. He had been ill and was unable to get over a fence at which practice was being held. An officer struck him with a sword. He fell and his arm was broken. It was not properly cared for, and that arm has been use- less since. "While I was stationed at the forts at Metz and Strassburg I saw things happen myself that would make an American soldier think that the discipline he sometimes complains about is heaven in comparison. The soldiers get Sunday off at certain periods and look forward to them because they can visit home. "I have seen it happen time and time again that officers kept some of the men in barracks, apparently merely nursing a slight grudge of a personal nature—perhaps merely to have a bit of sport at the private's expense. These same officers would think up all kinds of punishments for their men, often putting a fellow at some task on his day off while several hundred other soldiers were idle and could have done the same work. "I have seen officers order men to carry water from the big barrels kept in barracks, sometimes three or four stories high, merely to give them a task. After they had emptied the barrels they would be forced to carry the water back up and fill them again. "I have seen private put to work on Sunday morning with a bucket of water and a tooth brush and ordered to scrub the floors. "If a private does not shoot or march as well as the officer thinks he should, he is certain to be punished. One favorite treatment then was to require a private to stand erect, then knee to the ground, repenting the performance for an hour or more. I've seen officers beat and kick soldiers who became exhausted from this task. It frequently happens that a three days' strenuous drill on bread and water diet follows." Haddill has taken out his first naturalization papers, and although registered as an enemy alien, is listed in the aviation reserve corps and hopes to be able to enter the American army aviation section in the near future. SAYS NAVY TOO SAFE WANTS HUBBY IN ARMY Pittsburgh, Pa.—"Till sign a release for him to join the army, but not the army. It is too safe." So declared Mrs. John Bendthson, when she appeared in court against her husband, charged with nonsupport. After much argument Mrs. Bendthson was convinced that the navy was as dangerous as the army and she signed her husband's release. Hazleton, Pa.—The famous Buck mountain, near here, will do its bit in beating the kaiser. The anthracite coal which fired John Ericson's Monitor when it defeated the Confederate ram Merrimac came from the ground of Buck mountain and now that same ground has been turned over to amateur war gardeners for the growing of potatoes. BRITISH CAPITAL ALIVE WITH SPIES Americans Are Warned to Keep Their Mouths Shut While Staying in London. GREAT WHISPERING GALLERY Women Are Particularly Active in Seeking Information From Careless Officers—Still Most Cosmopolitan City in the World. London.—To young American fighting men, as well as to English, the same advice is good—that it is a wise and patriotic soldier and sailor who keeps his war information to himself; because, despite repeated warnings about the dangerous habit of discussing military and naval matters in public, London restaurants and hotels are still full of chatterers. In the past women have been accused of being possessed of an uncontrollable passion for gossip, but it seems that men are even worse in this respect. Some idea of the danger of random talk about matters that should be kept confidential and never discussed in public may be gathered from the fact that London is still the most cosmopolitan city in the world. The West end is crowded with male and female adventurers from almost every known country, including Germany, and although every one of them would swear by everything that is holy that they are longing passionately for an allied victory, there is little reason to doubt that some of them are spies, and many undoubtedly are potential spies. To give an example: Only recently in one of London's biggest hotels there was quite a little cluster of Russian women. They were young and pretty, had attractive manners, and were not hampered by any chaperon. So they soon found admirers in plenty—just what they were after. Confined Attention to Officers. Perhaps there would not have been anything very strange about this but for the fact that these young women confined their attention exclusively to officers, soldiers, sailors, and airmen. They invariably turned the cold shoulder upon civilians, but no sooner did a strange officer appear in the lounge than somehow or other they managed to scrape up an acquaintance with him. Another curious thing about these women was that they rarely spoke to any man for more than 20 minutes or half an hour. Perhaps they would have a cup of coffee with him or smoke a cigarette, but in a few minutes the women made some excuse and went away. Still more suspicious was the fact that several of these Russian women were seen to be const... ly conversing with a young Russian civilian. He also was stopping in the hotel and appeared wherever he was seen with them to be cross-examining the women. Eventually their behavior attracted attention, and they were watched. The next day they disappeared and have not been seen since. Women Probably Acted for Spies. Of course, it is just possible that there is an innocent, or, at any rate, plausible explanation of these mysterious women. On the other hand it it regarded as likely that they were in the pay of a spy organization; that their part of the business was to collect information, which they handed over to a master spy, who in his turn sifted and checked the data he received, and then in some way or other transmitted them to Berlin. Only the other evening two young pilots were dining in a restaurant noted for its foreign clientele. They were talking loudly and, as is the way sometimes with young men, somewhat heedlessly. When, however, a woman, a total stranger to both of them, sitting at the next table leaned over and said: "I wonder if you can tell me where the — squadron is stationed now; I have a friend there," the youngsters were shrewd enough to say they did not know and started talking about theaters. There is, of course, the wise dictum that "those who talk don't know, and those who know don't talk." All the same it must be remembered that London is one great whispering gallery, and the most casual remark dealing with operations in France or elsewhere may be just the final check wanted by the Germans to verify a vast mass of information obtained from a thousand and one sources. HELLO GIRL'S ANSWER TO KAISER IS LIBERTY BONDS Cleveland, O.—Miss Margaret Hibbard, a telephone operator here who has not been over from England long, lost her brother, Lieut. E. J. Hibbard, in action in Europe. Her answer was a Liberty bond purchased from her small salary. Then she heard that her younger brother had also given his life in the battle for democracy in the battle of Picardy plain. "I went right out and bought another Liberty bond," she said. "That's my answer to the kalser." Hotel Cuming 1916 CUMING STREET Comfortable Rooms-Reasonable Rates D. G.

AMERICA TO CHAMPION CHARLES KNIGHT By Lucian B. Watkins. "Your world's record feat of driving 4,875 rivets on May 16 has set for American shipbuilders the fast pace that is so necessary for carrying on the war successfully."—Chairman Hurley, United States Shipping board, to Charles Knight, champion riveter of the world, Bethlehem shipbuilding plant, Sparrow's Point, Md. It was your day; it was your task, Charles Knight! Earth was convulsed with fate; we called, in pain; You answered with your quickened brawn and brain. "Ships, ships!" we prayed; your soul-immortal might Rose like a threatening storm upon the height! Mad Egypt's lightnings, ancient in your vein. That heaped the big-stoned pyramids amain, Thundered you on for Liberty and Light! Ah, Champion Charles! our armor builder! we Are constant with your spirit of success; We shall have ships—you are our guarantee— The faith that makes our righteous struggle less, With you we build for God's democ- racy, That love-eternal world of peace- fulness! SUGAR SALES TO CONSUMERS LIMITED TO 2 AND 5 POUNDS Omaha, Neb., June 21.—Sales of sugar to consumers living in cities and towns are now limited to two pounds, while five pounds are the most that may be sold to those who live in rural communities. Announcement of these new regulations by Federal Food Administrator Wattles comes as a result of the losses in submarine attacks and big demands for canning and preserving. The new rules are effective June 17. The new order has no effect on the sugar that can be bought for canning and preserving. Housewives may buy 25 pounds, providing they sign a certificate that the sugar will be used for canning and preserving. National War Savings Day is the stay-at-home's day.

The Ohio war board says: Boys and girls' pig clubs throughout the country are expected to produce at least 10,000 pounds of dressed pork this year. To stimulate interest in these clubs and increase pork production in Ohio, the Ohio state fair will this year offer a number of prizes and give demonstrations in mixing of feeds, making self-feeders, making hog houses and other subjects of interest to pig raisers. These pig club members have been termed "junior soldiers of the commissary." It is expected that every boy who can do so will raise one or more pigs for Uncle Sam this year and help furnish the meat supply for the soldiers. RED CROSS TO GET TIPS Society's Workers May Take Place of Cloak-Room Bandits. A new method of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the Red Cross and other worthy war causes has been advanced in Cleveland. It is suggested that Red Cross girls be placed in charge of hat and coat checking rooms at hotels and other places where such privileges net thousands of dollars annually. It is pointed out that the continual seeking of tips and charges in such places is annoying, but that no one would feel that way about a Red Cross representative and would be more than apt to give generously. Whether the suggestion will be followed up is not yet known, but influential persons here are said to be strongly in favor of the plan. AGED EGGS STALE Were Laid Many Years Ago and Are Now Seized. Eggs is eggs, but fifty-year-old eggs, although still eggs, are not the proper kind of hen-fruit for Philadelphia, in the opinion of Mr. Simmers. The whole proceeding ran in fifties. There are 50 cases of eggs, they were fifty years old, and it took Simmers just about 50 seconds to taboo them. The consignment was packed in airtight cans and was to have been put in cold storage at the Reading terminal plant until bakers needed them for cake. They were "canned" all right. FOE PERSECUTES AMERICANS Indiana Girl Tells of Treatment by Germans After Wilson's Speech. Americans in Germany have been subjected to bitter persecution since President Wilson's Baltimore speech was published in German papers, according to Miss Bonventura Spinik of Indianapolis, who returned on a Danish liner after six years' residence in Berlin. She sang there with an opera company. Miss Spinik declared that children are starving so that food may be provided for soldiers. Amish Prove Patriotism. The Amishmen have at last decided not to allow their religious scruples to interfere in assisting to win the war. Members of the sect in Pennsylvania are endeavoring to raise a bumper crop, and nearly $5,000 of Liberty bonds were sold among the leaders. Luxuries as usual means a victorious Germany.

All the churches had good service Sunday as it was a fine day. The Knights of Tabor had their annual thanksgiving service Sunday at South Union Baptist church, and the Rev. S. M. Bolden preached the sermon for them. The Fulton Street Christian church pulled off their rally on last Sunday and raised the sum of $246, which was very good for that church, for they only have a very small membership. If you want to always hear something good listen for Palestine and you will find that we deliver the goods. Mrs. J. W. Lewis of Temple is visiting with Mrs. H. Quarles on Giraud street. Rev. A. T.

Mrs. Irena Caldwell went to Natches last Sunday to attend church and reported having a good time. Mr. Edward Massey and Mr. Pearsey Updack went to Prairie View for training in the navy on last Saturday. The Negroes are coming to the front and soon will reach the climax.

Earl Wheeler at last reports was at Camp Upton, N. Y. Nearly all the Omaha boys are pretty close to the sea coast, which would seem to indicate that they will soon be "over there." Lieutenants Edward Turner, H. J. Pinkett, Amos Madison and Will N. Johnson were last heard from from Camp Upton, near the sea. Join the army behind the army—be a war saver.
