WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22. Formal denial of reports circulated in this country, presumably by German agents, that Negro soldiers with the American expeditionary forces are being given more dangerous work than the white troops was cabled to the war department yesterday by General Pershing. The message said the Negroes were in high spirits and that their only complaint was that they were not given more active service. General Pershing said he could not "commend too highly the spirit shown among the Colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." The general's cablegram, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said: "The stories probably invented by German agents, that Colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, that when wounded they are left on the ground to die without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. Figures on Losses. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four Colored combatant regiments now in France: The 369th infantry—died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2. The 370th infantry—died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. The 371st infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. The 372d infantry—died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. "A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of on the western front. Tells of Fine Spirits. "The exploits of two Colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning the croix de guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout the Colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. "The only regret expressed by Colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused as the most dangerous positions, and all are desirious of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the Colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." LIBERIA PREFERS TO BE UNFORTIFIED Washington, June 27.—On the theory that fortifications only serve to attract attacks from the enemy, the little Republic of Liberia has declined offers from France and America to supply coast defense guns and equipment to make a fortified port of Monrovia, the capital. Soon after Liberia formally declared a state of war with the Central Powers, a German submarine appeared in the roadstead of Monrovia and proceeded to shell and destroy the wireless station, which the Germans believed served as a receiving base for Entente warships. The French Government suggested the erection of coast defenses, and recently the commander of the Ameri- THE MONITOR can cruiser Raleigh, offered to supply guns for defense. The Liberian authorities, however, decided to rely upon the principle of international law and the provisions of The Hague convention, which exempt unfortified ports from enemy bombardment.

GOV. PLEASANT COMMUTES DEATH SENTENCE OF LAD Baton Rouge, La., June 27.—Governor Pleasant Thursday commuted to life imprisonment the death sentence imposed December 6, 1917, by the District Court of Beauregard parish on Willie Braxton, 16, Colored, convicted of assaulting Joy Goldbold, 5, a white girl, of Deridder. The boy was to have been hanged in the penitentiary, Friday noon. The board of pardons and the trial judge, Jerry Cline, recommended commutation, representing that the child suffered little and public sentiment during the trial demanded the death sentence. Uniform Should Be Respected The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Calls Attention of War Department to Indignities Offered Soldiers Traveling Through the South. EJECTED FROM PULLMAN CAR Frequency of Such Unfortunate Experiences Upon the Part of Officers and Privates Brings Issue Squared Before War Department. NEW YORK, June 22.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public a letter addressed to the Secretary of War in which the Association asks for a ruling on the attitude of the War Department in the case of a colored private, S. P. Jones of St. Louis, who, while on his way to Camp Cody, Deming, New Mexico, traveling on train and transportation furnished by the government, was ordered out of a Pullman car by the train conductor at Texarkana, on the border between Texas and Arkansas. The Association's letter says in part: "This incident seems to put squarely up to the War Department for decision whether the Department will insist that enlisted men traveling under government orders shall be accorded the kind of service authorized by the government and provided for by the transportation furnished, towit, service without discrimination in Pullman cars when Pullman service is authorized and provided by the D. department." In a statement concerning this case Mr. Shillady said that the case itself involved the question of whether the government was going to allow its soldiers, because they were Colored, to be denied Pullman accommodations even though the government had ordered and paid for such accommodations, merely because prejudiced elements in the south were disinclined to allow Colored people to sit in the same coaches with them. Mr. Shillady referred to the case of First Lieutenant Tribbet, who on March 2, while traveling under similar circumstances upon Pullman transportation furnished by the government was taken from a Pullman coach at Chickasha, Okla., arrested and fined $5 and costs, approximately $25 in all, without redress. "The Association at that time," said Mr. Shillady, "addressed an inquiry to the War Department which was acknowledged during Secretary Baker's absence in France, with the explanation that the matter had been referred to the Judge Advocate General of the Army. No further action, so far as the Association knows, has been taken in the matter by the War Department."

NEBRASKA. JUNE 29. 1918 The Evolution of Sam. How Uncle Sam in His Man-Making Mills Is Grinding Out Men From Physical Beings of the Masculine Gender. BY FRED C. WILLIAMS. THE poets tell you "That the mills of the Gods grind slowly; yet they grind exceeding well," but Uncle Sam has a military mill that is grinding rapidly and also grinding well, for in it he is grinding out men from physical beings of the masculine gender, who up to a few months ago, were not yet posed as men. A little over a year ago you could have visited almost any city or rural community of the Southland and you could have found young Sam idling his time away on the lea side of some shady building, whitling on a discarded packing case, asleep on a cotton bale, or out under the shadow of a large shade tree, or squatted on a rail fence watching some one else do something; or else in the pool balls or saloons of the great city idling away the precious moments, taking a job as porter or waiter long enough to provide a few pennies for another interim of rest, and you would have sadly shaken your head and wondered what was to become of Sam. But to receive your answer you have only to visit one of Uncle Sam's numerous man-making mills, where he trains the men he drafts—the cantonments—and a surprise will be yours, for as you approach the guard line you will recognize in the sable hued military figure in the uniform of the American army, who in firm, yet polite tones comands you to halt, questions you, reads your pass and directs you to pass on, as "Sam" of a year ago. My but the change is complete, and all in one short year! As you pass around the training camp you again find "Sam" as officer's orderly receiving and directing the visitors to the commander's quarters, as the bugler who sounds the different yet beautiful calls, the sergeant of the mess tents, the quartermaster's clerks and assistants, checking in and out supplies, uniforms and ammunition, the duty sergeant in command of companies, the trim, well knit muscular figures that move with clock-like precision at the command of their officers, in the evening dress parade as the participants of that beautiful ceremony, the setting up of guard mounts and at the setting of the sun, the firing of the evening gun. wife, Mrs. Pearl Henderson, having been notified last Friday night by the adjutant general that he had died of wounds May 18, in France.

Everywhere, as I have just told you, on train and Pullman transportation furnished by the government, and you will find "Sam" participating in all of these things, being an active and efficient cog in this mighty military man-making machine; and, of course, you will ask how it is all done. When Uncle Sam receives them he has his physicians pass upon their physical condition. Those who are physically unfit he sends to his hospitals and begins to make them over again. Those who are slightly affected he sends to his infirmary. Those who pass the average mark of physical fitness he turns directly into the coffers of his mill, the barracks. Now follow me through the routine of training, or the grind as we will call it. Up in the morning at the call of reveille, fifteen minutes in which to dress, then roll call, then next in line for breakfast, when the bugle sounds the call to mess, after which comes thirty minutes of recreation, then military calesthenics, known as setting up exercises, then the order to fall in line and he is well on his day's work under the command of the drill sergeant, who divides them into squads and teaches them the goose step, to count by fours and how to march and stand erect. He keeps this up until eleven thirty when across the parade ground floats the welcome notes of "The Recall," and they form in company and march in lines to the mess tents where they break ranks and stand around awaiting the mess call. As the sun in the high heavens marks the hour of noon there breaks upon the ear a strange reverbrating sound. It is an electric siren which at this hour each day calls to every soldier on land or sea to stand at attention and in this silent manner homage to the fighting soldiers "over there" in that mysterious "some where in France," after which the call to mess gives him a chance to appease that healthy appetite which he so soon develops. Dinner over, back to the drill grounds in the hands of the drill sergeant and he is soon learning to perform evolutions of march and counter march until five o'clock in the evening, when "The Recall" brings him again to the mess hall in time for supper, after which he spends an hour in study to make up for the days that he played hooky from school and spent in roaming the woods and following the streams. The rest of the evening until nine finds them enjoying the privileges of the Y. M. C. A., which are many and pleasant as well as instructive. So you will see "Sam" of today is not the "Sam" of yesterday, and may our prayer be "Let not his yesterday be again." Vol. III. No. 52 (Whole No. 156) Inproving General Labor Conditions Seeking a Co-operative Program to Mobilize Workers in Every Community for Effective Work and to Adjust Labor Difficulties. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 24.—Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro economics of the Department of Labor, has just returned from an extended trip into several states where he met in conferences and interviews at different points in each state a number of representative white and Colored men and women, to discuss with them the plans of the department for improving local labor conditions. The director visited points in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. He is also in correspondence with persons in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois for the purpose of similar visits to these states. The purpose of these first visits is to get the advice and solicit the help of persons of both races in each state in carrying out a co-operative program to take practical constructive steps for enlisting all in a campaign to mobilize Negro workers for more strenuous labor to win the war. Due consideration, of course, is given to improving the conditions of Negro workers along all lines and to encouraging all who labor. Briefly stated, the plan is to secure in each locality co-operating committees of white and Colored citizens composed of the strongest men and women of both races to work out plans and methods of adjusting local labor problems, in the interest of both employers and employees. When interviewed by a representative of the press, Dr. Haynes said: "In all parts of the country, now, representative white and Colored people are feeling that this is the time to pool their efforts and pull together. In my work of previous years I have found in almost every locality some white and Colored citizens who were responsive to a practical program of work to meet the needs of their community. The various betterment and civic organizations that the Colored people have organized have shown such activity along many lines to improve local conditions and race relations. "On the basis of such experience, the Department of Labor is building its plans for meeting local labor situations that are affecting the Negro and his employers in various parts of the country. Already the department is meeting with gratifying cooperation of both white and Colored people in various counties, towns and cities." "Just as in all the nation's past wars, the Negro is ready to do his share of the fighting in the trenches and dying on the field of battle. No less zealous has he been in doing the Lifting Lift, Too! work to raise food and make supplies for our allies and our men at the front. The Negro workman needs to be told, in ways to make it clear, that his toil of all kinds is appreciated and of value in winning this war. He needs to have it made plain to him that victory in this war will bring rewards of democracy to him. If this is done, Charles Knight's example in breaking the world's riveting record will be repeated in many other occupations. "There are two kinds of people in our country at this time: Those who do and those who don't. We plan to enlist every Negro in the country in the ranks of those who do." COUNCIL OF DEFENSE BANS "BIRTH OF A NATION" Charleston, W. Va., June 22.—The Executive State Council of Defense Wednesday placed a ban on the exhibition of "The Birth of a Nation" and all similar plays in this state during the period of the war. The action of the state council came as a sequel to the passage of a resolution by the McDowell County Auxiliary Council of Defense protesting against the showing of "The Birth of a Nation." The McDowell County Council, composed of Colored citizens of that county and one of the units of the State Auxiliary Advisory Council, of which J. C. Gilmer is secretary, set forth that the attraction is one "calculated to arouse hatred and prejudice between the white and Negro races of the state, and likely to hinder and retard the proper co-operation between the races in promoting the greatest efficiency in war work of all kinds." The order of the council is broad in its inhibition of plays or motion pictures written or staged in the spirit of "The Birth of a Nation," and is specific in making it unlawful and subject to penalties to show such a play or picture at any time prior to the termination of the present war. NATIONAL COLORED SOLDIERS' COMFORT COMMITTEE AIDS MOTHER OF SLAIN SOLDIER Washington, D. C., June 27.—Being advised today that Mrs. Pearl Henderson, of Dayton, O., widowed mother of Sergeant Joseph Henderson of the 372d Regiment, the first Colored soldier to die in action over in France, was in urgent need of funds to pay her house rent, installment on the furniture in her modest little home and her insurance, the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee immediately dispatched a check to her for a substantial sum to take care of all her immediate needs. The promptness with which the committee responds to calls for aid is earning for it the love and confidence of the race. The committee's contribution to the relief of this poor, sorrowing Colored mother who had given a son for the cause of "our new freedom," is not a loan, but a gratuitous gift to a needy and deserving mother.

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 Mariner 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."

Remove Teutonic Eagles Men That Were, Things That Have Been Norris Wright Cuney, a Leader of Men. BY FRED C. WILLIAMS. Lives of great men all remind us We may make our lives sublime And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. It was in Galveston, that city by the sea, that, despite the ravages of the angry gulf, which from time to time have attempted to leap across its massive walls and sweep it from its moorings into the sea, yet it stands firmly planted on this island glistening in the Equatorial sun like a silent sentinel guarding the mainland from the ever restless and encroaching sea, that the above lines occurred to me. I had strolled into the old customs house and there leaning idly against one of the stone pillars in the cool recesses of its gloomy hallways. I found myself meditating. My mind had gone back to events of over a quarter of a century ago, when a man of my race had risen to the position of collector of this port and the figures that passed in and out of these same offices and along this hall and up the stairs were men of both races who owed their positions to the central figure of this article—Norris Wright Cuney, a natural leader, a master mind. I seem to see him now. A figure just above the average height, well knit and accentuating strength, a sharp profile with the beaked nose of a conqueror, the firm, clear-gazing black eyes that in moments of anger seemed to snap fire; firm, evenly shaped lips with the strong lower jaw and pointed chin of the aggressive man; a high, broad forehead o'ertopped by a shock of black hair that reminded one of the lion that he was so like; but always friendly, always pleasant, ever ready to help the distressed; to please a friend, to do a favor, never even passing the fellow in the shabby coat or the town hat or the worn shoes or the distressed mother, who pleaded not for herself but the salvation possibly of her wayward son. These, all of these, this self-centered, yet kindly man, one by one administered to and sent on their way relieved or rejoicing. We see him enter his office to take up the duties as collector in the third port of the U. S. A., to which he had been ap- pointed by President Benjamin F. Harrison. We see him again stretched in the cold clasp of death lying in state in one of the largest churches in the city. The minister had just finished the funeral rites and his friends who had followed him to victory through many a state and local political campaign, through many a big convention scrap, were proving their loyalty by following him to his grave, and as the procession formed outside and gradually wended its way along the streets it became a pageant. Not only Galveston, but the state of Texas was paying homage to its departed chieftain. First comes a mounted marshal in command, next a platoon of mounted police, behind which a military band followed by a battalion of Colored state militia, composed of the Excelsior Guards of San Antonio, Cox's Rifles of Houston, Texas, Island City Guards of Galveston, followed by the Colored Longshoremen's Association, Cotton Screwman's Association, a number of fraternal organizations with the Masons in full charge of the body, which was accompanied to its last resting place by his immediate family and innumerable friends of both races. Such was the end of this master of men, this leader of his race, this champion of his party in the political arena, who began his career in the city where he died, and who so lived that he enjoyed the confidence of both races who came within range of his acquaintance, and became not only a state but a national figure and left a legacy to his family and also to his race. A true husband, a true father and a friend to all mankind and I may end by saying, may God be kind and give to us now, in this hour of stress and strife, another like Norris Wright Cuney. A wake, Americans! Make this war your war. Every man must prove Right is Might. It means your liberty, if not your life. Combat German propaganda here. Attack everything un-American!

Talbert Delights Audience The Talented and Efficient President of the National Association of Colored Women Delivers Instructive Address Before Large Audience—Outlines History of Organization—Tells of Personal Observations of Southern Conditions--Patriotic Work of Women—Delegation From Omaha Woman's Club Present. KIND WORDS FOR THE MONITOR OMAHA is honored this week by the presence of Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Association of Colored women, the only national organization of our people, which has been called into consultation by the government for effective co-operation in war work. The organization represents a membership mounting up into the thousands and necessarily wields a tremendous influence. Mrs. Talbert, who is en route to Denver to attend the national convention of the Association, spoke Wednesday night under the auspices of the Greater Omaha Improvement Club, a woman's organization, to a capacity house in the auditorium of St. John's A. M. E. church. She is a pleasing, instructive and forceful speaker with a most attractive personality and she captivated and delighted her large and appreciative audience from the outset. Unfortunately, the program was somewhat late in starting, entirely too late, and those who had come early were somewhat restive because of the delay, but as soon as Mrs. Talbert began speaking all thought of the lateness of the hour vanished. The program began with "The Star Spangled Banner," led by Mrs. Martha Taylor-Smith and St. John's choir. The Rev.

This was followed by a selection by the choir and a well chosen address of welcome on behalf of the Improvement Club by Mrs. John A. Smith, who presided. Mr. J. Noah Thomas gave a cornet solo, which demanded an encore. Dr. L. E. Britt gave a most befitting address of welcome on behalf of the business and professional men of Omaha. Miss Mary Pegg read a brief and thoughtful paper; Mrs. Luther Dillard sang "Ah, I have Sighed to Rest Me," by Verdi, in which she was accompanied by Miss Ozelia Dunning and Mr. Maceo Williams, violinist. Mrs. Alphonso Wilson, president of the club, in her own inimitable and gracious way then introduced the 'distinguished guest and speaker. Mrs. Talbert expressed her pleasure at being in Omaha and renewing old acquaintances. She had been kept in touch with Omaha through The Monitor, which she said was eagerly looked for week by week and eagerly read in Buffalo and was also read by the city treasurer and other influential people of that city. Its sane and fearless editorials were most favorably received and commented upon, and the reliability of its news service won approbation, as there could not be found the slightest hint of "yellow journalism" within its columns. "I wonder," she said, "if you people here in Omaha realize what a wonderful agency and influence in social uplift you have in that splendid publication, The Monitor? We of the east do, and I hope you do." Passing then directly to her subject, Mrs. Talbert said in part: "It will give me great pleasure to tell you of the organization, past achievements and future plans of the National Association of Colored Women. It came into being twenty-three years ago. Necessity called it into being. A man by the name of Jacks published an article in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat making an outrageous charge against Negro women. Ass Hand Handry ROUGH DRIED Guaranteed Tel.

Ruffin of Boston to invite 100 women to a conference in Boston. Forty-two responded. They refuted this libel by a scientific investigation of records and found that the morality of Colored women, all things considered, was not only equal to but in many cases superior to that of their more protected sisters. But these forty-two women realized that the Colored women should organize to help in every way possible their own people. If the white women found it necessary to organize helpful agencies we realized that we needed the same. If chasms and pitfalls were to be avoided by our young people it was necessary for motherhood to have the knowledge to guide them. "We adopted as our motto, 'Lifting as we climb.' We decided that there should be no countenancing of the double standard of morality. We decided to teach our boys, as well as our girls, that 'whatsoever a man soweth the same shall be also reap.' "We found our people divided into three classes—the aristocrat, who had had superior advantages and training and who had drawn a circle around themselves; a middle class, not vicious but well-meaning and happy-go-lucky, who had also drawn a circle around themselves; and then, alas, the largest class, the lower class, ignorant, vicious and superstitious. We decided that those above should join hands in an effort to lift those below. And this is the work the association has been largely instrumental in accomplishing. "If we do not help our own people how can we expect others to do so?" Mrs. Talbert spoke of the loyalty of our race to the government in the present world war, which is being fought for democracy. She said the outcome of the war would be the de-troning of America's sham democracy and the enthroning of true democracy, which she aptly defined as a country "where just laws are enforced and where color does not count." She called attention to the fact that "the black soldiers who are fighting for democracy in Europe, when they return will demand democracy in America and will not tamely submit to the customary treatment meted out to the black American by the brutal, bulldozing 'cracker' element of the South." She told of her recent investigations of penal conditions in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina, and how the women have been organized to better these conditions. She brought tears to the eyes of her audience when she told them of the murder of Mary Turner at Valdosta, Ga., on Sunday, May 19, because she said they had no business to lynch her husband. and how the Huns of Georgia for that remark hanged Mary Turner, who was in a delicate condition and while hanging from the gibbet gave birth to a child, a fact which the Associated Press suppressed. It was that act that caused the organized protest of the Colored women of Georgia, published in last week's issue of The Monitor, to President Wilson, which elicited the only word yet spoken by him against lynching of Negroes. The National Association of Colored Women intends to start a movement to depopulate Georgia of Negroes by bringing them to northern and western states unless these outrages cease. Mrs. Talbert urged the women of each community to take up their own peculiar problem and work it out faithfully, perseveringly and courageously. She plead for the manifestation of sympathy and helpfulness to the fallen. To welcome and encourage the strangers who are coming from the Southland. The president of the Omaha Woman's club and a delegation were present, who thanked Mrs. Talbert for her splendid address and said that they wished that the same address might be given before their club. TOWN IS SHOT TO PIECES Minnesota Village Loses Band and Baseball Team to the Marine Corps. St. Paul, Minn.—Isle, Minn., was a village of 75 population, situated on the Soo line near Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota. Not a small part of its population was of young men, so it had a baseball team and a brass band, just as any other really ambitious village should have. The past tense is used advisedly. Isle, Minn., still is a village, situated just where it always has been. But in no other way can the past and present be compared. It is without its baseball team, its brass band—and its young men. For the baseball team and the brass band—20 of 'em, have enlisted in the Marine corps. "The town's simply shot t' pieces!" declared an elderly resident, one of the few left. U-Boat Victim to Get Even. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Frank Wilson, four times a victim of German submarines while employed in the British merchant marine, left here for Canada to enlist in the English navy to "get even" with the enemy. BIG CAMPAIGN TO ELECT LOYAL WAR CONGRESS National Security League Announces Nation-Wide Non- Partisan Participation in Fall Elections. Active participation by it in the Congressional campaigns, which will shortly commence throughout the country, has been announced by the National Security League. The League declares that unusual measures must be taken to insure the election this fall of a Congress which will stand militantly behind the carrying of the war to a decisive victory. The entire force of the League's 281 branches and its membership of over 100,000 patriotic American citizens will be thrown into this campaign. The creation of support of the movement outside the League will also be undertaken by means of an active propaganda among the leading citizens of every state in the Union, irrespective of party. Elihu Root Takes Lead. Elihu Root, who is Honorary President of the National Security League, at the recent Annual Meeting of the organization laid particular emphasis on the necessity of non-partisan support of the Government in its efforts for the aggressive prosecution of the war and the consequent importance of this year's Congressional elections. The matter was then taken up by the National Executive Committee of the League and the campaign decided upon at a meeting attended by Alton B. Parker, who is Honorary Vice President of the Security League; James W. Gerard, former United States Ambassador to Germany, one of the League's Vice Presidents; S. Stanwood Menken, President of the League; Lawrence F. Abbott of the Outlook, and other prominent men. The League for National Unity and other great national organizations have already indorsed the movement. The leading newspapers of the country are also expressing their approval. The following are a few of the favorable editorial comments which are appearing in all parts of the country: **Editorial Approval.** Williamsport (Pa.) Sun: "The National Security League's effort will have the hearty support of all patriotic voters." Springfield (Mass.) Union: "This idea is sound and eminently worthy of serious attention." Des Moines (In.) Tribune: "Here in Iowa we may well emulate this example which will lead to victory for Americanism regardless of party designation." Saginaw (Mich.) News: "This campaign will have a strong and growing following all over the country." Helena (Mont.) Independent: "Americans upon whom party lines rest lightly and many who are strong for their party will find reasons for commendation of the plan of the National Security League." 25,000 Letters. The League's campaign will be conducted by a committee headed by Charles D. Orth, a prominent New York commission merchant. This committee, as a preliminary step, has laid the matter before 25,000 leading citizens in all parts of the country and of all political beliefs in the following letter: "The conduct of the war and, in fact, the very future of America are dependent not only upon the election of a War Congress that will enact necessary laws, but upon the presence in the National Legislature of men of vision, ability and broad experience, who are the best qualified of our citizenship to correctly solve the great internal and international questions which will come before the next Congress "The National Security League, pursuant to unanimous action of its Executive Committee, has taken upon its self the grave duty of impressing these matters upon you and asking you to pledge your service for prompt action to prevent disaster which might follow the election of incompetent or disloyal men to Congress. This can be prevented through definite and concerted action on the part of loyal citizens, who are in the vast majority Neglect and indifference may prove fatal. "The remedy is for every one to assume the personal obligation of speaking with or writing without delay to political leaders, newspaper men and others who form public opinion in their Congressional Districts. Make them realize sharply that the need of the nation is the election of men of absolute and unconditional loyalty who are determined to prosecute the war to victory and who possess the strength of character and unquestioned ability to be of real service to the country in this crisis. The problems before the nation are such as to try the very souls of the best men that we can elect. Personal Responsibility. "The people of your district will undoubtedly take the right stand if awakened to the political situation in time to secure the highest type of candidate to vote for in the primaries. Every citizen can directly influence results to that end, and we earnestly hope that you will recognize the responsibility of so doing." Editorial Approval. 25,000 Letters. "Grave Duty."

Telephone Webster 4243. 4 APPRECIATES THE COMPLIMENT THE MONITOR desires to publicly express its appreciation of the complimentary words concerning this publication spoken by the president of the National Association of Colored Women in beginning her instructive and inspiring address Wednesday night. It was wholly unexpected and coming from such a source is most highly prized. Rosecoe Conkling Simmons, himself a trained newspaper man and a regular reader of The Monitor, said something of the same tenor to the Rev. Dr. Logan in Kansas City and repeated the same before a company of gentlemen on his recent visit to our city. Chester A. Franklin and others have been kind enough to say much the same. Expressions of this kind coming from the most thoughtful and conservative of our people from all sections of the country are most gratifying, and would indicate that The Monitor is in some measure at least fulfilling the mission it desires to fulfill. Its constantly growing popularity with readers of all classes is, indeed, gratifying and we are conscientiously striving to make it what Mrs. Talbert has been kind enough to say it is, a "wonderfully helpful agency and influence in social uplift." We appreciate the privilege, opportunity and responsibility which is ours in being able each week to reach with our message thousands of readers. Our desire is to help our readers in every way we can to a higher appreciation of that which is good and edifying. The function of a newspaper is to chronicle the news and to help mould public sentiment. Our own race journals, for which there is a recognized need, have laid upon them the task of calling attention to matters in which we as a people need to make improvement and at the same time to contend sanely, but fearlessly and persistently, for civic, industrial and political rights to which we in common with all other citizens are entitled. And our newspapers are making their influence strongly felt in this regard. That they are influential among this large group, of which they are the special organs, is being recognized by governmental officials, who release regularly specially prepared articles of public information for the Negro press. The Monitor is being recognized more and more with its able contemporaries, among which it has taken high rank, as being a most serviceable publication. We shall earnestly try to maintain the high standard which the publication has attained, and as opportunity permits improve it. This closes the third volume. We are grateful for the patronage received from subscribers and advertisers. We are grateful for the many kind and appreciative words received from many and unexpected' sources and shall strive to serve more faithfully in the future than in the past the interests of the special group for which it is published particularly, and for the common weal generally. We are grateful for compliments and appreciative of well intended criticism, because we are not only anxious to serve to the best of our ability, but to improve in efficiency and service. LET'S MOVE FOR A Y. M. C. A. OMAHA needs and should have a Y. M. C. A. for its increasing Colored population. Many other cities have such a helpful agency. Mr. Rosenwald has given $25,000 to several cities for Colored Y. M. C. A. buildings on condition that the particular city to which the grant was given would raise $75,000. Mr. Rosenwald's offer is still in force for any city willing to accept it. There are philanthropic citizens in Omaha of wealth whom we believe would contribute generously toward the establishment of such an institution. We believe that now, while people are in the giving habit, is the time to move for a Y. M. C. A. Let's get busy and make a move for a Y. M. C. A. AMERICANS ALL! IT is becoming plainer and plainer as every day rolls by that this world war is a war that means something to every man and woman and child who lives and to the untold millions yet unborn. It is war for freedom and for liberty and to make the world safe for democracy. It affects the Chinese beside the Yangtse-Kiang, the bleared Indian beside the Amazon, the native beside the Congo, no less than it affects those who are battling against the insidiousness of the Hun. It affects us, too. Our liberty in '63 was a glorious thing for us and to perpetuate it and to be worthy of it it is ours to fight and support this nation in the war. We must drop the cloak of race, forget for the nonce our wrongs and remember only that we are Americans one and all. We must strike to rid the world of autocracy, to wipe out the Hun from the world he has accursed and to make the kaiser a hateful memory. There was a time when the allies thought there might be arranged a peace, but that time has gone. The only thing we think of now is the annihilation of the Hun, total and complete. It must be so for the peace and happiness of the world. The price we must pay is great, but even so is the reward great. Let us pull together. Let us all be Americans! WHY IS THIS? THERE are fourteen Colored female prisoners confined in the county jail for "social diseases." An institution supported by the city has been provided for the care of unfortunate victims of men's lusts suffering from these social diseases in order that they may receive proper medical attention, care and treatment. White women of this class are sent to this hospital. Colored women of the same class are being confined in the county jail. Why is this? Are the people of Omaha going to sland for this discrimination? HIGH SCHOOL BOY WINS PRIZE Philadelphia, Pa., June 27—William Griffin, son of Rev. Mr. Griffin, won the bronze medal which was given by the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce for third prize for the best patriotic essay to high school students. JIM CROW CARS MUST GO THE government is now in control of the railroads. It is downright robbery to charge a man first-class fare and give him fourth or fifth class accommodations. This is precisely what the jim crow cars laws of the Southern states do. The government cannot be a party to such injustice, therefore jim crow cars MUST go. SONGS OF SOLOMON The Evetalians. An Eyetalian is a gent who comes from Italy and traces his descent back to Julie Caesar and Emp. Augustus. These ancestors used to be great scrappers and scrapped until they acquired several acres of ground known under the title of the Roman Empire. After many years the empire was broken up into small farms and suburban lots for which you pay five bucks down and a dollar a week. Everything departed except the fighting spirit and some folks thought that had departed. Last fall a general by the name of Cordona started out to whip the Aus-Huns, but got scared and hot footed it back to the Tiber. Then Italy sent up Diaz and Diaz hung around waiting for the Aus-Huns to tackle him. The Aus-Huns crossed the Piave (a river and not the name of a new breakfast food) and began telling each other what a fine time they would have making love to the big eyed Italian girls and drinking wine. When they got far enough away from the river so they couldn't make it back in 2:12, Mr. Diaz began dropping firecrackers around the bridges until he had them reduced to toothpicks. Then he rushed the Aus-Huns. He rushed them so hard that they became a bit skittish and wanted to get on the other side of the Piave where the general atmosphere was some quieter. But when they got to the Piave they didn't find anything there but wet water and cozy mud. They became tangled up in both and while they were trying to get their brogans loose, the Eyetalians gave them a warm reception that stimulated a cross between a hailstorm and a volcanic eruption. All the Aus-Huns could do was to observe the scenery and figure on what kind of speech they were going to band St. Peter at the gate. The last reports were that the Aus-Huns are making tracks for Vienna and that every Eyetalian from king down to street sweeper has ordered enough macaroni and red wine to celebrate for two solid weeks. THE MONITOR The Children of the Sun By George Wells Parker IT is one of the paradoxes of history that the most mixed race in the world should claim that it is a pure race and that it should refrain from the miscegenation so universally practiced by its ancestors. I refer to the Jewish race. Of them Cheyne says: "It is as little a nation of pure blood as any on earth, for it admitted persons of Aramaen and Egyptian descent as well as the Canaanitic, Hebrew and Arabic elements." To begin with the Hebrew race and language were not paternally of a Semetic origin. Their original home appears to have been around about Arabia, likewise the stronghold of almost purely African tribes. Could we accept the tradition of the Jewish captivity in Egypt, we would be welcome to the indisputable conclusion that no race could be enslaved for five hundred years without becoming mightily mixed. But strange to say there has not been a single word in all the records of Egypt, which in any way tends to confirm the story of the captivity. Since the opening up of Egyptian history only one commemorative slab has the name of Israel occurred. This designated the Stone of Meneptah, records the triumph of the monarch over the Israelites in Palestine. But because they may not have been in Egypt five hundred years they seem to have had plenty of chance to promote mixed blood. They were under bondage to an African people in Arabia and it is possible that the home of these people known as Mizrim had been confounded with Mizriam, one of the many names for Egypt. From their own records it appears that all the leading characters had black wives and the population must have followed in their footsteps because upon more than one occasion their God had to reprimand them for associating too intimately with Colored folks of the neighborhood. Solomon, who was in all probability black, goes so far as to foretake the gods of Israel for the gods of Cannaan and even built temples for them. Profane history has recorded that the great temple was built, not to the God of Israel, but to the goddess Astarte of the Phonecians. Even in the third century, towards the year 225, Dio Cassius, a senator, in alluding to the Palestine wars, says that besides the original Jews of Judeau "there are other men who, although of different race, have adopted the laws of the people." Further, he says that a great proportion of the ancient Jews were the descendants of converted pagans. So it is clear that the mixing proclimities were continued down to a very late period of their history. The trible of black Jews, which are found in Persia, Australia, Afghanistan, Abyssinia and Arabia, also present natural questions. Anyway it is due to the African blood in their veins that the achievements of the Jews are due. The paths of genius have been worn smooth by Obvious Observations If anybody thought Italy was asleep at the switch they have one more guess coming. Italy was awake and threw the switch so that the whole army of Austrians went kerplunk into the Piave river. Good work, Italy old hoss, keep it up. Herr Kuhlemann is babbling some soothing chatter about President Woody's peace proposals weren't so bad after all, but that doesn't go now. It is to be hell for the kaiser from here on in. A guy named Smith, who is now holding down the mayor's seat in the city hall, says that he hasn't any use for "cullud folks." That's what we tried to tell some of the seasonable politicians when they galavanted around yelling for that tintplate dude. Wonder how they feel now? Please don't tell us it is hot. We feel just the same as you do about it. Avoid the Perils of Malaria Poison Avoid the Perils of Malaria Poison If you have germs of malaria in your system you are in peril.

Like the oyster when wounded heals the wound and heals it with a pearl, so these people have survived all persecutions and rewarded persecution with those gifts which make life sweeter and holier. Jewish literature has delighted and instructed all classes of mankind and the world has listened with rapture and with tears to Jewish melody and song. For never since its spirit was evoked under the shadow of the vines on the hills of Palestine to soothe the melancholy of her king, has Judah's harp, whether in freedom or captivity, in sorrow or joy, ceased to wake the witchery of its tuneful strings. It is fortunate for civilization that the Jews failed to rid the coast of Syria of the Canaanites, because this latter race became the most dauntless colonists and mariners of the whole ancient world. They were the first who trusted their frail ships to the mercy of unknown seas, and under the Greek name of Phonecians, explored the known world. "It was they," says Bosworth Smith, "who, at a period antecedent to all contemporary historical records, introduced written characters, the foundation of all high intellectual development, into that country which was destined to carry intellectual culture to the highest point which humanity has yet reached. It was who learned to steer their ships by the sure help of the Polar Star, while the Greeks still depended upon the Great Bear; it was they who rounded the Cape of Storms and earned the best right to call it the Cape of Good Hope, 2,000 years before Vasca De Gama. Their ships returned to their native shores bringing with them sandalwood from Malabar, spices from Arabia, fine linen from Egypt, ostrich plumes from Sahara. Cyprus gave them its copper, Elba its iron, the coast of the Black sea its manufactured steel. Silver they brought from Spain, gold from the Niger, tin from Sicilly Isles and amber from the Baltic." They were altogether African. Historians have tried to claim them Semitic, but it won't work. An official description of Ezmunazaril, King of Sidon, and a great historical ruler, says "the features are Egyptian, with large full almond shaped eyes, the noses flattened and the lips remarkably thick and somewhat after the Negro mold. The whole countenance is smiling, agreeable and expressive beyond anything I have ever seen in the disinterred monuments of Egypt or Nineveh." No Aryan or Semite ever looked like that. Professor Sergi, of the University of Rome, says that the Phonecians belonged to the great Mediterranean family of African races which created the civilization of that basin and archeology certainly lends itself to prove that he is right. The Jews are really mulattoes and the Phoneicians were almost pure African. only we have pledged ourselves not to cuss. Some of the Colored lads who have had to shake hands with real work are feeling finer than they have felt for several years. Who would have thought that work was a tonic? We'll bet a dollar to a doughnut hole that savage preachling won't jump into the Public Pulse about cigarettes again. What will the girls do without candy, now that Unk Sam is saying nix on the sugar? We males should worry! Rümor says that the new city commission meetings sound like a zoo of wildcats. All right, boys, whoop it up! You won't have more than three years to train. Don't forget to pay up your subscription for The Monitor.

NEGRO SPEEDER TURNED OVER Two Negroes with a mania for speed came very near taking a much slower drive Tuesday, when the big White' touring car in which they were making sixty miles an hour turned over on the Excelsior Springs road near the Williams farm. As the Negroes were speeding along a team and wagon suddenly showed up ahead of them and the driver of the car threw on the brakes and turned the machine to the side of the road so quickly that it turned over. No one was hurt, but the car was badly battered. The machine bore a Nebraska license tag and the Negroes wore diamonds or what resembled them, enough to buy two or three cars like the one they were driving—Liberty (Mo.) Advance. A generation ago the sight of Negroes wearing diamonds, driving a big touring car at a rate of sixty miles an hour, would have caused a sensation from Maine to California.—Daily Call, Excelsior Springs, Mo. The above item was clipped from the Daily Call of Excelsior Springs, Mo. The "speeders" were John H.

THE MONITOR NATION-WIDE FIGHT AGAINST GERMAN PAPERS National Security League Starts Crusade for Their Elimination, Together With the Teaching of German. A vigorous campaign to bring about the elimination of the teaching of German in the public schools of the country and to obtain the discontinuance of the publication of newspapers printed in German has been launched by the National Security League. To organize its effort for these ends the League has formed a Committee on Foreign Language and Foreign Press, which will carry the fight into every nook and corner of the United States. The Committee is composed of Col. Charles E. Lydecker, member of the Board of Trustees of the College of the City of New York and Chairman of the National Security League's Board of Directors; Edward H. Clark, Treasurer of the Security League; Ernest C. Brown, well known New York editor and publisher, and Dr. Robert M. McElroy, Educational director of the National Security League under leave of absence from Princeton University, where he is head of the Department of History and Politics. Stop Advertising. The principal basis of the Committee's campaign against German newspapers will be the obtaining of the discontinuance of advertising in them. Col. Lydecker's committee has laid the following plan of campaign before the Chairmen and Secretaries of all the 281 branches of the Security League: "There is no immediate need to have laws enacted to suppress the foreign language daffies. In towns where there is a strong patriotic sentiment a hostile minority should be persuaded by a clear and forceful expression of the views of the majority that ours must be, from this time forward, a one language nation. "See Our Mistake." "If a community will not support a newsdealer who handles the daily papers printed in foreign tongues it can thereby force him to deal only in English language papers." "Recognizing a general willingness to be patriotic and the rapid acquiescence from many quarters to compel the use of English dailies, we urge reasonably active measures on the part of the branches of the League. Justice requires this, for the fault does not lie wholly with the alien. We have failed hitherto to provide the machinery of education which the welding process required. We have countermeant and even encouraged the idea of preserving linquistic and racial groups in our midst. At last we see our mistake, and we must correct it as speedily as justice will allow. "But we must not forget, and we must not allow alien enemies to forget, that this is a time of war. Quick processes of producing unity are justified by the peril of those institutions which we hold in trust for all humanity. (a) Meetings of citizens to express a one language sentiment. (b) Discontinuance of all advertising in papers printed in the tongues of enemy nations. (c) Procuring co-operation of news-dealers.

AN APPEAL TO ALL PATRIOTIC WOMEN Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr. (Formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland) Urges Women of Nation to Stand Firm. "We can win if America can be held steadfast and unswerving, and the women of America can hold her steadfast. Against all temptations to compromise the women of America should stand firm and united," says Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, Jr. (formerly Mrs. Grover Cleveland), in a message to the women of America, made public through the National Security League. P. A. Ry League work. She was the first woman to become a member of the League's National Executive Committee, and is secretary of the League's Committee on Patriotism Through Education. Mrs. Preston's message to the women of the country reads in full: "Proclaim Liberty." "Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL THE LAND unto all the inhabitants thersof." "These words were written about 1480 years before Christ, as part of the Law of Holiness in the Book of Leviticus. Our fathers inscribed them upon the Liberty Bell which called our mighty nation into life. "Today 'all the inhabitants' enjoy liberty, the Jew and the Gentile, the rich and the poor, the native and the alien-born, the weak and the strong. The old Liberty Bell is silent, for its voice has been heard 'throughout all the land.'" "But Liberty is not safe. It is menaced along the battle fronts of many nations, our own among them, and America requires a new motto for her old Bell: 'Proclaim liberty throughout ALL LANDS unto all the inhabitants thereof.' Until liberty is safe in all lands, it can not be safe in our own. Hence the task to which America has reverently and unselfishly dedicated herself. "Make Motto Real." "The Fathers of this Republic, men of many races, with a common love of liberty, wrought into law our ancient motto, thus giving liberty a chance to enlighten the world. "Today we, their descendants, are called upon to make real the new motto, and thus to give liberty the undisputed right to bless the world. "This can be done but only after heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A premature peace would mean failure. It would be only less disastrous than complete defeat. Against all temptations to compromise the women of America should stand firm and united. "Peace and Safety.12 "Victory means peace and safety for our children; defeat means humiliation and practical servitude for them; while a negotiated peace, with the military machine of Prussia unbroken, means that everything in their lives must be subordinated to the task of preparing for another war with Germany. We can win now if America can be held steadfast and unswerving, and the women of America can hold her steadfast." ____. Stop Advertising. "See Our Mistake." Newsdealers. "We therefore suggest: C. P.

(An Address by Gurdon W. Wattles, Federal Food Administrator for Nebraska, June 20, 1918.) No other influence has been as potent as the public press of the state of Nebraska in the promotion of the work of the Food Administration. From the very beginning of our work down to the present time, the support of the editors of the newspapers of this state has been most constant and helpful. I want to take this occasion to express my appreciation of the great help the newspapers of this state have rendered me as Federal Food Administrator for Nebraska in the performance of the arduous duties that have been placed upon my shoulders during the past year. At the beginning we sailed out on an unknown sea; there were no charts to mark the way; there was no compass by which to guide our course. We were told at the first meeting with Mr. Hoover in Washington that each Food Administrator should do the best he could to find the best means to accomplish the desired end—that of conserving the food that would be needed by our armies, the Allies and the starving people of Europe. Nebraska's Loyal Response. Knowing that the people of Nebraska were patriotic and ready to respond to any call for sacrifice to help win the war, we proceeded to conduct an educational campaign for the purpose of pledging the housewives of the state and nation to assist in the food saving campaign about to be begun. The result of this campaign in this state was most satisfactory; more than 237,030 pledges were returned to this office and many communities reported 100 percent signatures. I enthusiastically offered a flag to every school district that would return 100 percent of the residents of that district as signers of pledge cards. It required more than 300 flags to make good my contract. The pledge campaign over, the serious work began. It had always been my plan to secure a good machine with which to do any important work. I therefore proceeded to organize the state by appointing a County Food Administrator for each county and in turn he appointed his general committee representing every town, village and many country precincts in the state. This machinery when once put in motion quickly reached all parts of the state with any message from headquarters and, as many times illustrated, was so effective that no guilty party could escape. To illustrate the manager of a wholesale mail order house in this city told me after his business had been suspended that in every single instance where he shopped more sugar to country towns than the rules permitted, he had been caught by the local Food Administrator. Two Thousand Loyal Workers. The splendid machine inaugurated in Nebraska brought into its service about two thousand active, earnest workers, and to those County Food Administrators and their committees and the general committees of the state with their efficient chairmen supplemented by the help of the newspapers, we owe the distinction which this state has received of being in the front rank in the work of the Food Administration. But what was the necessity for all this work and what has really been accomplished by it? The answers to these questions will either justify the existence of the Food Administration or will mark it as a failure. In the *first place*, it early became apparent that there would not be enough of the staple foods, such as wheat, meat and sugar, to supply the demands that would be made on this country during the first year of its entrance into the war. For want of ships or on account of blockades, food products from other countries could not be secured and the sole reliance of the Allies in the conduct of their war operations and for the supply of our own soldiers was to be the United States of America. Must Save to Meet Demand. Briefly stated, we had barely an available surplus of 20,000,000 bushels of wheat to take care of a demand which we knew would be for ten times that amount. If we failed to supply food, the war would be lost before our country became seriously engaged in it. The same situation to a greater or less degree existed with our supply of meat, sugar and some other staple food commodities. We could, therefore, only supply that which we could save and the necessity for saving exportable food by substituting others that could not be shipped was imminent and important. Rules and regulations in conformity with the Food Law were immeasured by the Food Administration and while some mistakes have been made, in a THE MONITOR MATERIALLY BENEFITTE ND ENABLED AMERICA [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. GURDON W. WATTLES, Federal Food Administrator for Nebraska. general way the desired result has been accomplished without any great disaster or inconvenience to our people. To protect the consumers of this country against exorbitant prices for food products which usually prevail during war periods, the full power and authority of the Food Administration has been exerted. The result of its efforts in this regard may be summarized as follows: as corn, oats and shown a much greater to the consumer than ducts that have been under the provisional Law. The saving of es ducts by the volunts people of the United so great that we ha ship to foreign count ed amounts of such The retail prices of food stuffs in the United States have increased on the whole about 53 percent over prewar years; the increases received by the producer for such products have been more than 100 percent. Retail food prices in the United States have increased less than in any other country. As against an increase in this country of 53 percent England shows an increase of 105 percent, Canada 65 percent, Germany 160 percent. Consumer and Producer Benefit. While the price of a loaf of bread has increased in the United States 66 percent, the producer receives 140 percent more for the wheat that goes into it. The price of beef has increased about 40 percent and of pork about 50 percent. The producer gets 100 percent more for the raw products. At the beginning of the work of the Food Administration, May 15, 1917, the price of flour per barrel at Minneapolis was $16.75; on May 4, 1918, it was $9.80, a decrease of 41 percent. The difference between what the farmer got for his wheat and the wholesale price of flour was equivalent to $648 per barrel. At the present time the wholesale price of sugar is 7.3 cents per pound; one year ago it was 8.33 cents per pound. This is reflected in the price to the consumer and represents a saving of approximately $55,000,000,00 per year to the American people. Both sugar and flour offered unprecedented opportunities for speculation. Had it not been for the food regulations, flour would undoubtedly have been $30 per barrel and sugar 25 to 30 cents per pound at this time. During the civil war sugar went to 30 cents per pound retail. Other necessities, not under control, have increased an follows: Muslins, from 9 cents per yard to 30 cents, an increase of 233 per cent; ginghams, from 6½ cents per yard to 22½ cents, an increase of 244 percent; stockings, 100 percent; woolen serges, a staple, 500 percent; overalls 200 to 300 percent. Department store owners say the average increase in all articles handled has been not less than 80 percent. Speculation Eliminated. The Food Administration has practically eliminated speculation in fundamental food products and it has also eliminated the purchase and sale of futures. There is no way to determine the full extent of the financial saving to the American people by this wise and necessary regulation.

TO EAT ONLY $1\frac{1}{4}$ POUNDS OF CLEAR BEEF EACH WEEK. IF POSSIBLE, NOT TO EAT ANY WHEAT OR WHEAT PRODUCTS UNTIL NEXT HARVEST. TO CAN AND PRESERVE SUFFICIENT FOODS TO RUN THROUGH THE WINTER. We must supply sufficient foods for our army and for the armies and civilian population of our associates in this war. America is the last hope—if we fail, then Democracy fails. We must also build up a reserve which will meet all demands of the future. To the present time, every pound of meat and every ounce of wheat we have saved has been for immediate use. In the face of an abundant crop, we must lay aside a reserve and conservation will continue. Speculation Eliminated. D BOTH PRODUCER A TO FEED THE ALLIES as corn, oats and vegetables, have shown a much greater increase in cost to the consumer than have those products that have been carefully regulated under the provisions of the Food Law. The saving of essential food products by the voluntary action of the people of the United States has been so great that we have been able to ship to foreign countries unprecedented amounts of such products. Out of a visible surplus of barely 20,000,000 bushels of wheat this country has already exported about 160,000,000 bushels. Our exports of wheat have shown a much greater increase. In April, 1914, a prewar year, our exports of meats amounted to only 43,700,000 pounds. In April, 1918, we exported 359,058,000 pounds of beef and pork products. Before the war our average exports per annum of meats were—beef, 3,000,000 pounds; pork and its products, 43,000,000 pounds. We have increased these exports by more than 800 percent without materially impairing the health or necessities of our own people. Our exports of condensed milk have increased 30,000 per cent; sugar, 4,000 percent; rice, 2,500 percent. Response is Voluntary. All this has been accomplished by the voluntary submission of the American people to the rules and regulations of the Food Administration. In many cases no law has existed to enforce these necessary rules and regulations but the patriotism of our people has been so great that no law was needed except the law of necessity for winning the war. Newspapers, public men and officials in all departments of the state and the Government have joined in the great work of saving food to win the war. This work has furnished an outlet for the spirit of self sacrifice which has been born anew since this world war began. Every man, woman and child in this country has been given the opportunity of making a small sacrifice in order to help his country in its time of peril. This has made better citizens and better patriots of us all. Democracy Will Be Saved. We are marching with a new step to the music of our national anthem. We are sacrificing and saving to help our brothers who are fighting our battles. We are reviving anew the spirit of our forefathers and we will come out of this great conflict not only with victory upon our banners, but as better citizens with new thoughts and aspirations and new desires to serve our country, the country which has furnished to us one and all opportunities and privileges under its free form of government, unequaled by those of any country under the control of a monarch or a king. We will save democracy for future generations and will preserve the heritage handed down to us by our forefathers who fought the battles of freedom in the Revolution and again to preserve them in the battles of the Rebellion.

WILLIAMS WEEKLY LETTER Beaumont, Tex., June 24. To the Readers of The Monitor: Sunday morning I boarded the train for Conroe. It was a relief to leave the crowded and hot, stifling city behind, even though my charist was only the jim crow section of an old, dilapidated railway coach of a branch line railway. At Conroe I found that I had made my first stop in the pinewoods of East Texas, in which I was destined to spend the next eight days. Nothing of interest in Conroe and neither in Willis, my next stop, excepting it is known as the home of Ed Barnes, the famous inventor of the monkey motion of forward drive attachment for railway engines. Crockett, my next place, is quite an interesting little place. Here is located the famous Mary Allen seminary, established by the Congregational church for the girls of our race. A summer normal was in progress there, conducted by Prof. Pryor of Henderson, who received me very cordially and gave me an opportunity to present The Monitor to the school. The business I received is proof of its hearty welcome. This day was the 19th day of June, celebrated all over Texas as the accepted date of emancipation proclamation, and at Trinity, just thirty miles away, the race was gathering to do honor to the name of Abraham Lincoln for striking the shackles from the hands of their ancestors, and as all roads seemingly this day led to Trinity I, too, traveled that way. A noon train chuffing noisily up to the dilapidated station of this sawmill town, stopped suddenly with a wheezing of brakes and a dragging of wheels, and I soon found myself gazing on a mass of people, a riot of color, for here was the race in all its glory, wearing its many-hued clothes under its many-tinted faces in 5-room cottage; large lot. 3407 Boyd street. $2,400.

Speakers of merit were invited for the day and a number of interesting athletic contests completed the program for the evening. The night was given over to the joy-makers, who took possession of the smooth mill floor and tripped the light fantastic to the strains of a well trained orchestra. Some big day for me! But I enjoyed myself. The next day at Groveton, just another sawmill station, with plenty of our people who had seen to muck "Juneteenth." Result, no business. Same can be said of Lufkin and Nacodoches, my next stop. So Saturday night found me at Beaumont, after a long and dusty journey, formerly the Queen City of the Southern Texas oil fields, but now the great shipbuilding center of the South.

WILLIAMS. LODGE DIRECTORY BILLIARD PARLORS Letters from Our Readers Socialism and the Negro. I read your editorial comment in this week's issue of The Monitor on the action of the socialists in New York, who nominated three Colored comrades for political office. Friend Williams, this is not extraordinary, but a common thing with us. We nominated a former minister of Omaha, who founded the Baptist church in this city, for state treasurer of California and he made an excellent race and further we are proud of him. I refer to Rev. George W. Woodby. If the Negro race only partially acted upon your advice it would kill the republican party and paralyze the democratic party. It would kill capitalism and wage slavery, a slavery more damnable and detestable than chattel slavery, and it would emancipate the Colored race from social and economic injustice. The Colored race holds the fate of industrial democracy within the hollow of its hand. May it use it wisely. I do hope that the Colored brother and sister will awaken to the importance of reading and digesting what they read, so that a free and happy human family of nations and peoples will come after this war, partially as a result of their intelligent action industrially and politically.
