$2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Places Matter Before Secretary of Navy The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Makes Protest to Secretary Daniels Against Discrimination on Account of Color in Department. CLEVER CASES OF CAMOUFLAGE Common Custom Prevalent in Some Departments to Advise Applicants Summoned to Report That There Are No Vacancies. NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public a letter addressed to Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, in which the Association directs the attention of Secretary Daniels to the case of two young Colored women, graduates of the high and normal schools at Washington for employment in response to a recent press item in the Washington papers in which it was stated that women between the ages of 18 and 35 years, possessing high school education and good health, were wanted for immediate service, and were told by the department that no Colored people could be enrolled. The Association asks whether it is the intention of the navy department, when offering opportunity to women for service in the department, to exclude from such service Colored women who may be able to meet the requirements for the positions offered, and says that while it would feel bound to protest against the restriction of employment in the navy department to white women, it would suggest that, if Colored people are to be excluded from employment offered, public announcements so stating be made. In making public this letter to Secretary Daniels, the Association says that it is a common practice in the departments at Washington, when Colored people apply for positions to which they have been certified, for them to be informed that there are no vacancies. The Association says that its Washington branch is practically deluged with complaints of this character. The most recent one coming to national headquarters at New York is the case of a young Colored woman who on August 13 received from the treasury department an official notification that her name had been certified to one of the bureaus of the treasury by the civil service commission for a temporary position as clerk and requesting that she call at the bureau at her earliest convenience. Reporting in less than an hour after receiving this notice, the applicant was told that there were no vacancies. The young woman in question alleges that this is the second time she has been treated in the same manner. "In view of the great need for workers in all the governmental departments to help win the war," said Mr. Shillady, the association's Secretary, "the Association wonders how the great majority of the general public, not addicted to color prejudice, will regard the continued denial of opportunities to serve the government merely because the applicants happen to have dark instead of white skins." DINING CAR WAITERS ESSENTIAL, RULES BOARD St. Louis, August 29.—Waiters in Pullman dining cars are not non-essential, although waiters in restaurants, cafes and lunchrooms must seek other employment or join the colors. This order was received by the District Appeals Board August 15, and a decision in one case was reversed. The only case of a Pullman waiter to go before the District Appeals Board in St. Louis was that of James P. Hurst, 1724 Pendleton avenue. He was ordered to seek essential work but his case was reversed when the order was received. TO OUR READERS We are glad The Monitor pleases you. It will also please your friends and neighbors.

Urges National Equal Rights Urges National Equal Rights President Gunner Appeals to Colored Americans to Assemble at Chicago in September to Deliberate on Organization by Colored Americans to Get World Democracy. Hillburn, N. Y., Aug. 3, 1918. Dear Fellow Colored Americans: The National Liberty Congress which recently convened in the city of Washington, fully accomplished its avowed aim and object, viz: "To press the just claims of Colored American citizens to share in the world democracy, and to take positive measures to secure from the government guarantee of the abolition of cisfranchisement and of all caste discriminations, civil and political." Expressed in plain uncompromising English, our just grievances were brought squarely before the house of representatives, and before the American people, by said Liberty Congress, and were made a prominent and permanent part of the Congressional Records. (June 29, 1918.) It seems providentially fortunate therefore, that this noteworthy achievement on the part of the Liberty Congress is to be so soon followed by the Eleventh Annual Convention of the National Equal Rights League, to be held in September, in the city of Chicago. Our league is to convene in one of the most wide-awake political and social centers in the United States and during a most critical period in the world's conflict. From this important center we shall urge our people to remain loyal to our country and to the cause of humanity. We mean to stand by Old Glory to the death; we intend also to contend to the death, if need be, for an equal share in that same democracy for which so many thousands of brave Colored Americans are cheerfully pouring out their life's blood. To secure these blessings to ourselves we must organize quickly those who are prescribed seeking to combat proscription. Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our claims to world democracy. Every church, civic, educational, fraternal, political and business organizations among our people, without regard to sect, sex or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention by one, two or several delegates to deliberate on the organizing of our race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues or committees for the purpose of sending delegates to this national convention for race organization for liberty. Let every community join this Colored Liberty Organizing Drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to World Democracy as an issue of this world war. Yours for democracy now, BYRON GUNNER, Pres. Natl' Equal Rights League. OMAHA. NEBRASKA. AUGUST 31.1918 Government Must Stop Discrimination Deplorable Case of Miss Tucker a Sample of the Treatment Accordeed Applicants for Positions for Which They Have Qualified. BALTIMORE, MD.—Miss A. Tucker, one of the efficient teachers in the Colored public schools of this city, was twice turned down for appointment to a clerical position here last week in the government departments because she was Colored. On being certified to the federal trades commission for appointment by the civil service commission, that department wrote her to come to Washington to take a position. After going to the expense of railroad travel to Washington, on presenting herself, and it was discovered she was Colored, she was refused the appointment. he following day, the war trade board, to which she had also been certified, wired her to come to report for duty at Washington, August 1, at $1,000 per annum, for "permanent" appointment. Again she returned to Washington, only to be brutally advised by division chiefs that they would not take her because she was Colored. Miss Tucker returned to her home in Baltimore in such a highly nervous state because of the injustice she had encountered that she had to take to her bed. She is a prepossessing young woman, and one who had made a high average in her civil service examination. GENERAL PERSHING COM MENDS COLORED SOLDIERS Personal Letter to Y. M. C. A. Secretary in France Tells Its Own Story. American Expeditionary Forces, Office of the Commander in Chief, June 27, 1918. Mr. William Stevens, Care Y. M. C. A., A. P. O. 701. Dear Sir: In reply to your recent letter I wish to assure you that I place the greatest confidence in the patriotism and devotion of our Colored soldiers and their splendid work both in the front line and in the service of supply. It also gives me pleasure to inform you that they have made a fine impression on our allies by their soldiery bearing and exemplary conduct. Yours very truly, (Signed), John J. Pershing, General U. S. Army. OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR TO INVESTIGATE DEWEY MOB Dewey, Okla., Aug. 23.—Gov. Williams of Oklahoma has been appealed to by citizens of both races throughout the state to order a rigid investigation into the conduct of white residents of the state who composed the mob that set fire to twenty-one homes occupied by our people in this city when N. Widlow, a barber, was sought by police for beating his wife. The mob, after having captured Widlow, aroused to a frenzy, set out to destroy the settlement of our people here. Torches were applied to every house in town and the sky was soon ablaze. Several thousand people stood idly by and watched women and children dash from the burning dwellings. The governor has promised to investigate. The action of the mob rendered many good citizens homeless and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property for which the county and state exact taxes. A personal letter from A. J. Smitherman, editor of the Tulsa Star, has been made public. OFFICERS PLEASED Louisville, Ky., Aug. 29.—Officers in charge of the Colored organizations at Camp Zachary Taylor report that to a man the Colored selects have rallied to their duties and the morale in the Colored units is very high. The officers state that their soldiers are continually in the best of spirits, and Son Leader Dawson has met with an overwhelming success in organizing mass singing among the Negroes. The Y. M. C. A. has become the center of the gatherings at night. These buildings for the soldiers are always filled to their capacity. Schools have been started for the purpose of teaching uneducated Negro soldiers. Some who could not read or write when they came to the local camp are now able to write home. Speaks Twenty- Seven Languages An Abysinnian, Reputed Relative of King Menelek, Private Soldier at Camp Upton, Surprises Authorities With His Polylingual Proficiency. Camp Upton, N. Y., Aug. 30. Among the naturalizations in the soldier court here August 23 was Count Ben Ossac De Kellscritta; a Colored private, born in Abyssinia, who claims blood relationship with the late King Menelik. He has been a citizen of Italy, being born in that section of Abyssinia known as Italian Samoliland. A slight regret at losing his title of count was the only thing that marred acceptance of American allegiance. Kellscritta speaks twenty-seven languages fluently and his knowledge was tested by naturalization interpreters in English, French, Spanish, German, Russian, Polish, Italian, the Scandinavian languages. Hindu and several Indian dialects, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, the Balkan tongues and various dialects. He studied for rabbinical orders at one time and his knowledge of Hebrew is almost perfect. Milwaukee is his home. In view of his qualifications, the Negro Jew will probably be used in the intelligence service. Washington, D. C., Aug. 29.—The war department authorizes publication of the following order from general headquarters, American Expeditionary Forces: Two aluminum identification tags, each the size of a silver half dollar and of suitable thickness, will be worn by each officer and soldier of the American forces and by all civilians attached thereto. These tags will be worn suspended from the neck and underneath the clothing, by a cord or thong passed through a small hole on the tag, the second tag to be suspended from the first one by a short piece of string or tape. In case of officers the tags will be stamped with the name rank, regiment, corps, or department of the wearer and the letters "U. S." either in such form as "U. S. Infantry," "U. S. Air service," "U. S. Tank Corps," or simply the letters "U. S. A." when an officer is not a member of an organization, corps, or department. In the case of soldiers, the tags will be stamped with the soldier's name and the letters "U. S. A." on one side and his army serial number on the other side. The stamping on tags previously issued will be altered as practicable to conform with this order. This is an added means of identification. WITNESSED FIVE GREAT WARS; DIES AT AGE OF 147 YEARS New York, Aug. 23.—Declaring that he was born in 1771, William Mason, who lived for years in the basement at 183 West One Hundred and Thirty fourth street, died last Thursday in Bellevue Hospital at the age of 147 years. His only companion during his last years of life was a big St. Bernard dog, and neighbors claimed that the animal possessed almost human intellect. According to Mason, who up to a few weeks ago made his rounds on crutches and did street-corner preaching, he had been through five great wars. ENLARGE CAMP DODGE TO ACCOMMODATE 60,000 Des Moines, Ia., Aug. 30.—Rumors, which appear from their sources to have originated in authentic quarters, are that an entire division of Colored troops and a division of white soldiers are to be trained at Camp Dodge this winter. It is reported that the camp is to be enlarged to accommodate the 60,000 men this would bring to Des Moines. More than 10,000 Colored men, enough to form an entire infantry brigade, now are at Camp Dodge. THREE U. S. VESSELS SUNK; SOME OF CREWS MISSING Washington, D. C.-Sinking of three American vessels by foreign submarines has been announced by the navy department. The steamer Lake Edon, an army chartered cargo transport, was sunk on August 21; the U. S. S. Westbridge, 8,800 tons, on August 16, and the U. S. S. Cubere, 7,300 tons, on August 15. FORMER OMAHAN RECEIVES HONOR APPOINTMENT Washington, D. C., Aug. 29.—Mr. Walter J. Singleton, who has been connected with the Bureau of Insular Affairs, War Department, for twenty years, has been designated to inspect and superintend the shipment of all currency made by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Treasury Department, for the Philippine Government. This is a distinction won wholly by merit. Mr. Singleton is rated as one of the most efficient and painstaking officials in the federal service and is a potent factor in many fields of civic endeavor in addition to his labors for the general government. Mr. Singleton is a brother of M. F. Singleton of Omaha, and was appointed to the war department from Omaha when Geo. D. Meiklejohn of Nebraska was assistant secretary of war. Letters From Our Boys In France The Monitor will be very pleased to publish letters or extracts from letters from our boys who are "Somewhere in France." Let us have them. The letters published in last week's issue were eagerly read and appreciated and The Monitor was called up by several and thanked for publishing them. Here is a letter written under date of July 28th by Andrew T. Reed to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Reed of Sixteenth and Dorcas streets. Among other things, it shows how our boys "over there" are thinking of home. My Dear Mother and Father: No doubt you will be glad to hear from me after such a lapse of time, but the fact is I have never gotten settled. As you see by the beginning of my letter, I am not with Headquarters Troop any more. I received my commission the 19th of July, but it was dated June 1st. I was assigned to "K" Co. 368th Infantry, which was at Camp Meade, Maryland before they came to France. I left the Troop this morning and arrived at my new company this afternoon. The officers all seem to be very nice at first sight. Clyde Brannon is in "M" company, which is just across the way from me. He is looking fine and sends his best regards to you. I hope I will succeed in my new field. There is not much that I can say to you. I suppose you have received my cards and other letters a long time ago. I have only received one letter from you as yet and it was one addressed to Camp Funston. Of course, it takes a long time for a letter to get here. I hope mamma and papa are both Lieutenant Andrew T. Reed well and getting along fine. It won't be long, I hope, before I again see the good old U. S. A. and home. I am in the best of health. I have a ring made out of a piece of aluminum and a piece of silk off of a German Zeppelin that was shot down where I am stationed. I suppose you eagerly look at the papers every evening for the news "over here." How is little old Omaha at this time? I suppose it is hot as the dickens there. Give my love to all inquiring friends and tell them I am trying to go as high as they will let me go. I think of home as much as I can under the conditions. Well, I guess Dannie is barking and wants to know what is in this letter. I suppose I must close as there is not much that I can say only pray for me and be good and keep well until I return. As ever I close, hoping you will write every week. Much love and a billion kisses. As ever. Your loving son. ANDREW. Address, Andrew Thomas Reed, 2nd Lieutenant Infantry N. A., Co.

Details of soldiers are on guard to keep the crowds back. The people are requested to march four abreast in orderly manner and not to crowd promiscuously or in a straggling way in the streets.

Roberts, 2610 North Twenty-eighth avenue, Monday night and was a delightful affair from every point of view. The weather was all that could be desired. The beautiful and spacious lawn was attractively decorated with Japanese lanterns, large American flags and illuminated by electric lights. The women of the committee were dressed in white and wore goddess of liberty caps in the national colors. The attendance was large. While the older folk chatted and had their refreshments on the lawn, the young folks pre-empted the parlors, comandeered musicians from their company, and danced to their hearts content. The social was under the joint management of the vestry and the Woman's Auxiliary. Henry W. Black being chairman of the former, and Mrs. James G. Jewell of the latter.

SUNDAY NEXT ONLY Owing to the fact that exercises are to be held at the Court House at 8:30 Sunday morning for the draftees who leave at 9:45 for Camp Lewis, the Holy Communion will be celebrated at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon at 7 o'clock Sunday morning instead of 7:30. The service will be a half hour earlier. As this service lasts only about thirty or forty minutes all who desire to do so can attend and have plenty of time to get to the Court House to bid goodbye to the boys. Why not come to church first and offer special prayers for those called to the service of their country? --- LIBERTY BAZAAR NOTICE To the Public: Respectfully. Scarcity of Materials Used for Lighting Has Led to Revival of an Ancient Art. While the war has wrecked some industries in France, it has at the same time created new ones and revived older crafts. An excellent and interesting example of the latter is the art of candlestick making, which has taken on a new lease of life. Even in some of the big towns there are houses which are not supplied with gas, where before the war petroleum or spirit was used for lighting purposes. Now that the use of these is restricted closely, recourse has to be made to the old fashioned candle. This is true in the country especially where candlesticks are in great demand, and every one is buying them according to his means or fancy. At first they were made of copper, but when that metal became scarce brass was employed. Some of the modern examples have several branches and are very artistic. A domestic art metal morker at Aix, who has specialized in this kind of work, and has become quite a celebrity, has just constructed a series of tall iron candlesticks of very solid proportions which can hold several candles. They have been critically inspected by art metal critics and are claimed to be true works of art, and to appeal to all lovers of ironwork—Scientific American. LONG FAMOUS IN HISTORY Vicissitudes of Old City of Jerusalem May Be Said to Be Without a Parallel. The capture of Jerusalem by English troops recalls the tragic and fascinating story of that day, which carries us back through the mist of ages to the days when the throne of David was established within its walls. From that date we pass to the glories of the temple built by Solomon, which for centuries was to stand as the center and pivot of the Jewish nation and faith. The time came, however, when her days were numbered, and the drama of Calvary was followed a few years later by the onslaught of Titus, the Roman emperor, who encompassed the city round on every side and leveled it to the ground. Round its ruined walls Saracen and Crusader were to fight continuously for its possession, and Christian knights flocked from all lands to the rescue of the holy places, until in 1099 Godfrey de Boulillon defeated his enemies and was chosen as the first Christian king of Jerusalem. Following this, for a considerable period the city remained in Christian hands, until in 1517 it was captured by the Turks. Aero-neurosis is the name which is sometimes given to nervous troubles brought about by the strain of flying. It has been said that an airman's life consists of "long spells of intense fear." He has to endure intense cold, rain, wind, and fog, the nerve-racking noise of the engine, the anti-aircraft fire, and to loop, spin, dive, or sidelip, apparently out of control, to deceive an opponent. An interesting nerve test has been devised in France for selecting the best type of airmen for fighting. Around his chest is a pneumograph, in his left hand a trembler, and around two fingers of his right hand a pneumatic "doigtier." Behind the candidate a revolver shot is fired or a magnesium flare is set off, and a record of the effect on his nerves is obtained by means of stylets writing on a blackened revolving cylinder.

In doing this he prevented a much more serious accident, and for his valor has been commended by the secretary of the navy. The engine room had been filled with live steam when the breaking of the tiller carried away the exhaust lines of the steering engine. At the first alarm McLea tried to enter the compartment where the steam was escaping, but it was not until he had made three trips down the ladder that he was successful in stopping the flow. McLea went into the navy April 8, 1917, entering the naval volunteers at Erie, Pa. The Blessing in Disguise. Girl—How much for a marriage license, please? Registrar—Ten shillings.

RACE SUPERIORITY ee a Se Mee illuminating and thought-compelling editorial under the caption “Race and the War,” which shatters the idol of “Race Superiority” at whose shrine the nations of the earth are wont to reverently bow. We publish the edi- torial in full in this issue and to it invite your attention. It will repay careful reading. The article points out, as did our own Dr. Dubois, editor of The Crisis, in that able publication a year or more ago, that “one of the issues of the war is race prejudice.” Dr. Bu- bois’ contention was that race’ preju- dice was THE cause of the war. But, no matter; the point we would now make is that it is significant that both The Crisis, the leading magazine of Colored Americans, and The Independ- ent, one of the foremost—we consider it the foremost—magazines, published by white Amencans, agree as to one of the fundamental causes of ithe great internecine world conflict. Race prejudice is undoubtedly one of the underlying causes, and in our opin- ion, the CHIEF cause. The Independent points out that the Teuton has been obsessed with the idea of his superiority to all other men, and that consequently the world’s civilization is the creation of a s'ngle race—the Teutonic. If this be true, and from the Teu- tonic viewpoint and for the Teutonic consciousness it is true—then it fol- lows, naturally and logically, that world dominance belongs to the Hun by divine decree. He has the right to dominate the world, to subdue king- dom’s, to subjugate nations, to sup- press nationalities. DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES (Germany over’ all.) Of course. Why not? What else could there be from the standpoint of “KULTUR” and the “SUPER- MAN?” ‘All European races are inferior to the Teutonic, and therefore, since might is right, legitimate subjects for conquest, subjugation and exploita- tion. And if this be the Teuton- ie estimate of the so-called “white” races of the world, we can readily un- derstand his intensified con tempt and disdain for the dark-skinned races of the world. But, let it be said with all candor, the Teuton has no monop- oly of this, it would seem, inherent contempt for the dark-skinned races. It is the common possession of the “white” race, everywhere, _ except among the Latin races, The Teuton, however, believes in his superiority to all other races, white, black, brown, red and yellow on the entire globe, and that therefore as the “super-man” it is his bounden duty to superimpose his “kultur” upon all the world. Race prejudice, therefore, is the real cause of this war. It takes its rise in the doctrine of “race super- jority” which looms large in the Ger- manic consciousness and ix not found entirely wanting in that of kindred races. Race prejudice among Eu- ropean “white” races has unleashed the dogs of war and set the world aflame. Unfortunately, most unfortunately, it is this same spirit manifested by white Americans against black Amer- jeans, which causes so much heart- burning and resentment in the United States today. It is pro-Germanism transplanted to American soil. It is Prassianism of the most malignant type. It is the Teutonic doctrine of the “super-man” translated into American speech and action, an exotic pest which must be blotted out, if Americanism and true democracy are to flourish here, as flourish we believe they must, It is strangely significant, how- ever, that that nation which undoubt- edly emphasizes more than any other the doctrine of “race superiority,” and is not approached by any other nation, except perhaps by the United States, in its contempt and dislike for the those of African descent, confronted and conquered—as she un- questionably will be—by.. practically all these nations of the earth which she particularly despises. = ‘Think of the millions of black men from all quarters of the globe fight- ing under the banners of the xllies. shoulder to shoulder ht, Bey ‘ery other color! Can er ee Oe wee ae ness, unity, peace and concord? The fiction of “race superiority” will vanish before the dawning trutl that in the great family of man eacl race and nation has been given its peculiar gifts which are complement- ary to each other, none inferior or ‘superior, save in that it fails to con- tribute or contributes its share to ‘the common good. Races, like indi- viduals, are superior or inferior only as they measure up to or fall short of their opportunities and responsibili- ties in the service of and in advanc- ing the cause of humanity. Neither white skin nor black skin is the outward and visible sign of superiority of heart or ir‘ lect, which after all is the only true measure of superiority by which individuals, races or nations are to be judged. The superior race, the superior nation, is that which holds superior ideals and does superior things. This is the “race superiority” which we should all covet, for which we should all strive, and which we be- lieve is coming out of the present travail of the nations. CARRY IT UP A pernicious custom prevails in some of the Government offices of re- fusing to give employment, solely on the ground of color, to applicants who have passed Civil Service examina- tions with high averages, been duly certified and ordered to report for duty. As soon as it is discovered that they are Colored, they are either bluntly told that they can not be given the position on that account alone, or else they are politely and ‘suavely informed that “we regret to tell you that at present there are no vacancies.” Several glaring cases of this kind have recently been report: ed from Washington and other lo- calities, From some local experiences which we have had, we are inclined to be- lieve that in many cases—not all, of course—prejudiced and officious sub- ordinates, and not the heads of the department, are responsible for this discrimination and glaring injustice and that it ought to be taken up ‘with the head of the department. But whoever is responsible for it, ‘those in authority ought to see to it and must see to it that it cease. The Government of the United States is too big to allow this practice to per- sist in the face of the crying need for efficient and proficient workers. Loyalty, character and ability should be, and eventually will be, the only requisites. When confronted by this discrimina- tion, don’t give up, Carry it up to the head. Justice will finally. tri- ‘umph. GOOD BYE, BOYS; TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES Tomorrew another contingent of Colored draftees leave to do their duty in helping to “make the world safe for democarcy.” There is a won- drous truth in these historic words of our President. We are fighting to make the world safe for democracy, to win democracy for the world, It is a weighty and glorious task laid upon the shoulders of this generation, More than 40,000 of Nebraska's vaiiant sons have answered their country’s call. Of this number more than 600 are the boys of our race, of whom more than 500 have gone from Omaha alone. It is noteworthy, too, that the vast majority of our boys who have gone from Omaha have been given positions of honor and re- sponsibility as corporals and ser- geants. This speaks well for the character of the men who have been called, We expect all who go to maintain an honorable record. And 50 The Monitor, in wishing you God- speed, boys, is confident that every- one of you, realizing what is expect- ed of you, will do your full duty. Good bye, boys, take good care of yourselves, and a warm and loving welcome will await you upon your re- turn, when 4 righteous peace shall reign.

THE MONITOR Obvious Observations The papers say that Unk has been after the profiteer, but somehow Unk hasn’t got him yet. He is still do- ing business at the old stand, Somebody said this was the era of high wages. Sure, and it is also the era of high eats. If the Tommies will just keep the Fritzies on the run for thirty days, Mister Hindenburg will hope to eat dinner in Berlin just once more, in- stead of in Paris. This 18 to 45 business has messed up things just a little, hasn’t it? Now that the stores are cleaning out straws, low shoes and sundry summer wear, you'd better invest, because next summer will make this summer look like the bottom of the chute the chutes as to prices. Believe, muh! General Sherman knew what he was talking about when he cussed concerning war, didn’t he? Some folks have taken up the read- ing of fiction. They say that they get so much false fiction in the news- papers that they believe they would prefer the genuine. It is said that Mayor Smith hasn't ‘any time for Colored citizens. Maybe ‘he hasn't, but from the way he talks he either thinks much of the Colored ‘soldier or else he has Ananias beaten seven ways from next Sunday. This paper will offer $1,000 to the ‘housewife who can invent some way to make a pork chop grow larger while it is cooking instead of grow- ‘ing smaller. "Col. Teddy was to remember some Colored school or something before hhe divided the Nobel money, but when he divided it he forgot. ‘Thanking you kindly for your acute attention, we will now partake of ‘aome chronic repose. In the days that used to was, they told us that everything evil that hap- pened on this mundane sphere was the work of Sir Beelzebub, commonly called the devil. But lately, Mr. Devil has suffered an eclipse—a total eclipse. Nobody: éver thinks of him anymore. He’s a back number, a frayed deck and a positive cipher, He might as well close up shop and go bankrupt just the same as thousand: of other business men are doing. The war has ruined him. He has had so many little mean things charged up against him, that he might have been proud of claiming the world war as part of his handiwork, but for Capt, Satan there is nothing doing. He has had several years start on the Teuton in trying to invent a choice variety of hells on earth, but he evidently didn’t have it under the hat. He's a poor simp, a four-flusher and a red bag of superheated atmosphere. Ir the days gone by he could scare us and make us walk on eggs, but never again. His cloven feet, fiery breath and pitchfork, haven't any place now except in fairy tale books. He has kept the people fooled for a long time. but he has at last come to the end of his trail. Man, the guy that he has deen putting it over on for a million years, has up and put it over on him s0 heavy that he is gasping for breath. Man has created such a hell on earth that Mr. Devil has simply turned the hose on the fires, put a thousand ton Yale lock on the portals and hung up the sign, “CLOSED PERMANENT- LY.” He's through for good. He has found out at last that he is an ama- teur, a piker and a huge beef. All he does now is to sit in his office and read the reports from the West- ern Front, He tried as hard as he could to make life miserable for every human, but Kaiser Bill has made him look like a lone deuce in a poker deck, LIBERTY LOAN APPROACHING Within the next few weeks this paper will devote considerable space to the fourth Liberty loan. We re- ceive no pay in money for the space used, but we will receive double pay in the realization that we are help- ing the government in the great task of winning the war. Our readers should shape their affairs so as to be ready for the country’s call. Nebras- ka was called on to raise $18,000,000 in the first loan, $29,640,000 in the second and $21,042,800 in the third, but the quota for the fourth loan will probably be over $60,000,000. No ef- fort will be made to secure a large over-subscription, but each citizen will be expected to do his or her share, NORFOLK, VA., TO HAVE BANKING INSTITUTION | Norfolk, Va., Aug. 29.—The proper- ty at 738 Church street, between Queen street and Highland avenue, has been acquired ag a location for the Tidewater Bank and Trust Com- pany, and a modern banking house with distinctive features will be erect- ed upon the site as permanent homé of the institution. The location se- lected is in the heart of the up-town business secion and is regarded by the promoters as being idéal for the pur- pose for which it has been chosen. SKITS OF SOLOMON The Devil RACE AND THE WAR - One of the issues of the war is race prejudice. The Germans Rave this trait in so marked a degree that it ought to share the growing unpopu- larity which now accumulates around things distinctively German, whether good, bad or indifferent, Ever since the Germans took from Fremhmen like Gobineau, Englishmen like Hous- ton Chamberlain, and Slavs like Treit- schke, the legend that the world’s civ- ilization was the creation of a single race—the Teutonic—they have been unendurable. The bulk of German books on history, polities and sociol- ogy for the last few decades have been devoted to the elaboration of this great Teutonic myth. Slavs were bar- barians, Latin nations were decadent, Celts were futile, the yellow races were “monkeys,” black men were not human, Jews were enemies of the state; only the Teuton was tall, blond, handsome, virile, virtuous, reverent, honorable, practical, idealistic, scien- tific, thrifty, continent, just, brave, self-respecting, and capable of self- government. ‘The fact that many Frenchmen, Russians and Irishmen ‘had all these qualities and that some Germans had none of them (not even the blondness) did not prevent the Pan-Germans from identifying the imaginary “Teuton” with the German nation, | The moral of this pitiful collapse ‘of German humor and common sense ‘before the mirage of Teutonism should keep us from similar follies. Let our lenemies have a monopoly of racial ‘egotism. It is true, of course, that \the Germans are not hereditarily su- |perior to any of their neighbors, but lit is nonsense to talk (as some of us ido talk) of the Germans as natural ‘barbarians whose atrocities but echo ‘the deeds of Alaric and Attila, their forefathers. As a matter of actual history and ethnology the people of western Germany are brothers of the pure: seoeein Hersh Ses Jand and lowland Scotland. ‘They are ‘at least first cousins of the peasants of Normandy and Flanders. The east- ‘ern Germans (the “Prussians”) are ‘a mixture between the west German ‘type and the Slavic and Baltic peoples of eastern Europe. The south German ‘and Austrian is rather closely related ‘to the north Italian and the man of ‘central France, perhaps even to the ‘Welshman, | But the war raises the question of ‘race prejudice also in a broader form; ‘not merely the claims of the Teutonic eh bE: Mg LPL cea I oie it ee eae ME ENON were Is the Leading Shop of the City E : } ow | H pees ee [+8 E = . . i : Six Chairs i Fi} (ete yeeneenemeencneennpqeeman i j FY 7 | Sergt.-Major E.

Help our Allies speed the parting guest. Buy War Savings Stamps oF Thomas Kilpatrick & Co. “super-race but the claims of the “white race” itself to eternal and inevitable ‘superiority. Germany has no doubt ‘on the matter, Inferior as are the ‘non-Teutonic peoples of Europe in German eyes, they take rank above the “native” races of Asia and Africa to such a degree that slavery or the sword is the just wage of the latter. Note the German fury at the allies for seeking the aid of Japan and for em- ploying African troops. on European battlefields. Remember the day when the kaiser preached against the “yel low peril” in the spirit of yellow jour- nalism. Read any good book or article on Germany's system of rule in her overseas colonies. It is true that pri- vate plantation owners in Belgian and Portuguese Africa, and even in a few parts of French Africa, have been ex- cessively cruel to the native laborers in their employ. But nowhere have the officials of a government been so systematically oppressive as in Ger- man Africa. The atrocities in the el- gian Congo were the work of a soul- less capitalism. The atrocities in Ger- man Southwest Africa were the work of bureaucrats inspired by racial ar- rogance and measureless contempt of those whom they ruled. If the preach- er of race hate from the Mississipp valley or the Pacific coast were to migrate to the banks of the Elbe he would not only relieve us of his pres- ence but would find an appreciative audience and a true “spiritual home.” Race prejudice is pro-Germanism. If the hideous example of racial arrogance afforded by Germany does not suffice to cure us of our preju- dices there is another fact which should make us reflect. Who are the allies? At least five nations among them—China, Japan, Siam, Liberia and Haiti--have no white population worth mentioning. An absolute ma- jority of the people of the British Em- ‘pire live in India; “white” men cer- ‘tainly, but also “natives” and non- Europeans, France and its colonies, if taken as a whole, contain nearly ‘as much black as white, and French. Indo-China contributes numerous yel- low men to swell the total. Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Brazil, Cuba and ‘others of the allies have many non- white subjects and citizens. The Unit- ed States with its ten million Negroes and mixed bloods, its Indian tribes, its Pacific colonies, cannot claim to be a racial unity. If we sum together all the peoples who are fighting against Germany it seems probable ‘that at least three out of four of them ‘are “natives;” that is, people not de- ‘scended from the races of Europe. Of ‘course, the white race is the most largely represented on the actual bat- tle line, but, since an army is only the delegate of a people, we should learn to think of the war as a league of all the races of mankind against the common foe of all humanity.— New York Independent. Lincoln News MRS. SARAH WALKER. CONTINGENT OFF FOR CAMP Detachment of Lincoln Colored Men Leaves Friday for Camp Pike, Arkansas. A detachment of Colored men left Lincoln last Friday afternoon for Camp Pike, Ark., where they will start training. This is the first group of Lincoln Negroes to leave the city for the Arkansas camp. Previous contingents have been sent to Camp Funston, Kansas. The men reported at the office of the local draft boards early Friday morning. Three members of the Lincoln party will leave for the camp from other stations. Willie Trice will board the train at North Platte, Luther Levell at Topeka, Kas., and Ed Willis will entrain at Kansas City, Mo. Division No. 1 of the local draft boards sent John Payne to Camp Pike for the Box Butte county board. The one registrant to leave division No. 2 was Oakie Lee. James A. Scott was leader of the division No. 1 contingent. Guy Jackson was his assistant. Other members of the party were Arthur Hurd, Eunice Johnson, Pendleton W. Murray, Walter Tolle, Fred Boydston, William Westberry, Samuel W. Neal. A crowd of Colored people were down at the station to see the soldiers leave. The troops marched to the depot headed by a drum corps. The Friday group cleared the list of class one Colored men in division No. 2 of the local draft boards. Mr. Palmer, formerly of Lincoln, but now of Washington, D. C., holds a position as clerk in the government service, besides taking a course at Howard. Quite a number of people were present last Wednesday eve at Beulah Mission, on 14th and M streets, to hear Mr. J. E. Jeltz deliver his initial sermon. Mr. Jeltz is contemplating becoming a chaplain in the army in the near future. The rally held by the Stewardess Board Sunday was a marked success. A very large number of people were present. Again Mr. Jeltz delivered an eloquent sermon, which met with the approval of all. The afternoon service was in charge of Rev. R. R. Powers of the Zion Baptist Church, who delivered one of his impressive sermons in a very touching manner. The evening service was devoted to musical talent. Several beautiful solos were rendered in a very appreciative manner by Mrs. Isetta Malone, Mrs. Pearl Christman, Mrs. Lela Flippin, and Mr. J. E. Jeltz. Some very interesting papers were also read.

The convention will be called to order at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, September 4, by Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., who is leader of the Negro Baptists in America. It will be a patriotic session, and the address of the president will be filled with patriotism and loyalty, pledging the support of the whole race to the country at this time. IN COMMENDATION OF MISS AILENE BENTLEY Speaking of the recent carnival given by the St. John's Methodist and Zion Baptist Churches of this city on August 12 to 19, inclusive, I feel that too much cannot be said in favor of the crowned queen on the evening of August 19, in the person of Miss Aline Bentley, who will be the queen until the next annual carnival. When one merits honors then they should be given the same. All persons interested will say that she is one of our prospective great women, taking the unlimited interest that she does in church work of a necessity maker her most popular. The church could not have selected a better person to represent them, knowing as they did that she would go to work like a little Trojan. MRS. L. V. STANLEY. CHICAGOANS WANT NO SEPARATE SCHOOLS Chicago, Ill.-Max Loeb, one of the first group of Mayor Thompson's appointees to the board of education, has stirred up trouble for himself in the second ward by a letter to Negro citizens which appears to advise segregation of Negro children in the public schools.

Special to The Monitor OUR SAVED FOOD FED THE ALLIES Food Administrator Writes President America Conserved 141, 000,000 Bushels Wheat. CREDIT DUE TO WOMEN Meat and Fat Shipments Increased by 844,600,000 Pounds. Conservation measures applied by the American people enabled the United States to ship to the Allied peoples and to our own forces overseas 141,000,000 bushels of wheat and 844,600,000 pounds of meat during the past year, valued in all at $1,400,000,000. This was accomplished in the face of a serious food shortage in this country, bespeaking the wholeheartedness and patriotism with which the American people have met the food crisis abroad. Food Administrator Hoover, in a letter to President Wilson, explains how the situation was met. The voluntary conservation program fostered by the Food Administration enabled the piling up of the millions of bushels of wheat during 1917-18 and the shipment of meat during 1917-18. The total value of all food shipments to Allied destinations amounted to $1,400,000,000, all this food being bought through or in collaboration with the Food Administration. These figures are all based on official reports and represent food exports for the harvest year that closed June 30, 1918. The shipments of meats and fats (including meat products, dairy products, vegetable oils, etc.) to Allied destinations were as follows: Fiscal year 1916-17...2.166,500,000 lbs. Fiscal year 1917-18...3.011,100,000 lbs. Our slaughterable animals at the beginning of the last fiscal year were not appreciably larger than the year before and particularly in hogs; they were probably less. The increase in shipments is due to conservation and the extra weight of animals added by our farmers. The full effect of these efforts began to bear their best results in the last half of the fiscal year, when the exports to the Allies were 2,133,100,000 pounds, as against 1,236,500,000 pounds in the same period of the year before. This compares with an average of 801,000,000 pounds of total exports for the same half years in the three-year pre-war period. In cereals and cereal products reduced to terms of cereal bushels our shipments to Allied destinations have been: Fiscal year 1916-17...250,900,000 bushels Fiscal year 1917-18...340,800,000 bushels Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breadstuffs in the fiscal year 1917-18 to Allied destinations were: Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye 13,900,000 bushels, a total of 144,900,000 bushels. The exports to Allied destinations during the fiscal year 1916-17 were: Wheat 135,100,000 bushels and rye 2,300,000 bushels, a total of 137,400,000 bushels. In addition some 10,000,000 bushels of 1917 wheat are now in port for Allied destinations or en route thereto. The total shipments to Allied countries from our last harvest of wheat will be therefore, about 141,100,000 bushels, or a total of 154,900,000 bushels of prime breadstuffs. In addition to this we have shipped some 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals dependent upon us, and we have received some imports from other quarters. "This accomplishment of our people in this matter stands out even more clearly if we bear in mind that we had available in the fiscal year 1916-17 from net carry-over and as surplus over our normal consumption about 200,000,000 bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf," Mr Hoover said. "This last year, however, owing to the large failure of the 1917 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and imports only just about our normal consumption. Therefore our wheat shipments to Allied destinations represent approximately savings from our own wheat bread. "These figures, however, do not fully convey the volume of the effort and sacrifice made during the past year by the whole American people. Despite the magnificent effort of our agricultural population in planting a much increased acreage in 1917, not only was there a very large failure in wheat, but also the corn failed to mature properly, and our corn is our dominant crop. "I am sure," Mr. Hoover wrote in concluding his report, "that all the millions of our people, agricultural as well as urban, who have contributed to these results should feel a very definite satisfaction that in a year of universal food shortages in the northern hemisphere all of those people joined together against Germany have come through into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and strength fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship. "It is difficult to distinguish between various sections of our people—the homes, public eating places, food trades, urban or agricultural populations—in assessing credit for these results, but no one will deny the dominant part of the American women." A boarder is a man who is more interested in getting his bite than in giving his bit. Among the Churches Special Showing of New Fall Millinery CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON Among the newcomers to our city, there may be a number who are members of the Episcopal Church. If so, their attention is called to the fact that it is their duty to come out and make themselves known. The hours of service on Sunday are 7:30 and 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Sunday School is at 10 o'clock. Everybody, Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians, are welcome at all services. "Come and see." The members of the choir who have been having a vacation during July and August are reminded that they are expected to be in their places in the choir Sunday morning. The Sunday morning congregations are steadily growing. The attendance for the past month having been unusually good. There is room for improvement at the evening service. The Woman's Auxiliary will meet Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the rectory. The members of this congregation furnished its quota of pies for the soldiers Wednesday, "Pie Day," cheerfully and gladly at the request of Mrs. F. C. Cole, who was the chairman for the Episcopal churches of the city. And they were some pies. Another star has been added to St. Philip's service flag. It is for Leroy Broomfield, son of J. H. Broomfield, who was baptized in St. Philip's and for a number of years was one of the choir boys. Leroy is the sixth of our former choir boys to go into service from Omaha, besides several others who have gone from other cities; among them, Joseph, Fred and George Gamble, Eugene Pratt and Leo T. Crockett. Events and Persons The Mothers' Club had a delightful outing at Elmwood Park Tuesday, August 27. Thirteen children were entertained, and everyone reported a good time.

THE MONITOR Colored Americans = )"°" & In War Work *°"2. August 3 to 18 a campaign for hea:ch, of state-wide proportions was carried on at Columbia, 8. C. On the 4th a meeting was held ard Governor Manning presided. The chief executive also paid a visit to Camp Jackson to encourage the Col- ored citizens in their very helpful effort in promotion of better healt cond'tions among their people. The state council of defense is in charge of the campaign. Some of thes in- terested in the work are: Seymou) Carroll, secretary of state council «{ defense; I. S, Levy, chairman of the Columbia council of defense; J, H. Goode, president of the Negro Busi- ness league; Dr, M. A. Evans, presi- dent of South Carolina Health as- sociation; R. W. Westbury, food ad ministrator for the State of Sout! Carolina; Dr. J. H. Goodwin, presi dent of State Fair association; H. J Fredericy, editor of the Piemont In dicator; and R. W. Boulware, pres dent of the Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People of the state, The Colored man is a willing fac- tor in the war. This has been so convincingly demonstrated upon sc many occasions that additional evi- dence is scarcely necessary. A strik- ing case in point, however, may be noted in the journeying at his own expense from Birmingham, Ala., to Washington of Archie Neely, a stal- wart young Colored American, to en- list in the army. He had been ye fused by the local boards at his home. but was so determined to battle for Uncle Sam that he scraped together the necessary funds and came to Washington to see the officials of the war department in person and tender his services. His personality was so inviting and his plea so eloquent that Neely was accepted. There wasn't 2 happier youngster in the land than Neely when he left the war depart ment with a paper authorizing him tv proceed to Camp Meade The Colored churches and fratern’) societies of Jackson, Tenn., are plan ning to have an elaborate patrioti demonstration August 29, to continue three days. Speakers of national re- nown will be on hand, and a stren- uous effort will be made to raise $5,000 for war purposes. A big pa- rade is to be an outstanding feature of the occasion and it is expected that 25,000 marchers will take part. The affair is under the management of a local committee, headed by Rt. Flippin. Surgeon General Gorgas, of the United States army,, has calle for the enrollment of 8,000 gradunte nurses to enter the service at the jute of 2,000 a week. Says he: “The army today is growing faster than the nurse corps is increasing. I there fore urge upon the Ameirean ited Cross, through its agencies, to bring to the attention of the trained nurses of this country the necessity of im: mediate offer of service and their en- rollment in the army nurse corps.” With the rapid incerase of Colored troops in the army, the necessity of larger number of Colored nurses will be apparent. Women who desire to register and enrol) for this service should write to Miss Jane Delano. headquarters of the American Red Cross (army nurse section), or apply to the Red Cross authorities in the locality in which they reside. * The appointment of Lieut. Russell Smith, detailed in charge of the 2d battalion, student army training camp, Howard university, is the first time in the history of the United States army where a Colored officer has heen placed in charge as commanding offi- cer of a training camp. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological seminary, Atlanta, Ga., one of the race's ablest speakers, ad- dressed a monster patriotic mecting recently at Wadesboro, N. C., with more than 6,000 persons in attendance from Anson and adjoining counties. Dr. Bowen was introduced by the Hon, L, P. Robinson, member of congress from the Wadesboro district. He pointed out in a most luminous man- ner the duty of the race in support of the war policies of the government and urged the people to respond cheerfully to the call to the colors, to buy liberty bonds and war savings stamps, to contribute generously to the funds for the Red Cross, the Y. M, ©. A., and to engage.heartily in all of the activities designed to aid the nation in the winning of the war. Dr. Bowen spoke to another large gathering at Hickory, N. C., en route homeward to Atlanta. The full text of President Wilson's letter in denunciation of lynching will probably be circulated in France among the Colored soldiers. The Negro cuxiliary of the Knox County Chapter of the American Red Cross society of Knoxville, Tenn.. is doing excellent work, with Mrs, J. G. Robinson as president.

Miles Greenleaf contributes a bright column of miscellany daily to the World-Herald under the heading of "Frenzied Romance." If you don't read it you are missing a genuine treat. It deals generally with Omaha men and affairs. In last Saturday's issue Miles pulled off the following pleasing and deserved jingle complimentary to one lof Omaha's most patriotic and appreciated musical organizations: Ode to Dan Desdunes When Dan Desdunes goes marching by He makes us laugh and makes us cry. His russet-colored band has stuff To make a rabbit fierce and tough When he goes marching by. When dratfed men are off to fight, If they be black, or if they're white, They hit a firm and martial step And demonstrate a lot of pen— If Dan Desdunes is right. But if Desdunes is sorrowful And for a funeral must pull A dirge he'll smile upon his fate And every measure syncopate With melancholy bull. He'll ever be as cheerful as The joyous days of gin and razz. And as his band goes blaring by You'd scarcely think the state is dry— So giddy is his jazz! When I am drafted let his tunes— Let all the merriment that croons From all his reeds my service greet As I go prancing down the street Preceeled by Desdunes! VARDAMAN DEFEATED FOR SENATE NOMINATION Jackson, Miss.—In answer to the plea sent out by President Wilson a few days ago, Mississippi voters concerted their efforts and dealt an overwhelming defeat to Senator James C. Vardaman in the democratic senatorial primaries held throughout the state. He was snowed under by Congressman Patrick Harrison, whose final majority will probably reach 20,000. LIBERTY LOAN CONFERENCE The fourteen district managers of the Nebraska liberty loan committee met in Omaha Friday and completed plans for the campaign which opens September 28. State Chairman T. C. Byrne, who recently returned from an interstate conference at Kansas City, passed on the ideas brought out there. One county in Nebraska is so well organized it has already $100,000 pledged for the fourth liberty loan. CLASSIFIED ADS CAPITOL BILLIARD PARKLOR Cigars and Tobacco. Barber shop in connection.

Do you know how to take the sting out of anything unpleasant you have to do? It is a good plan to learn how to do this. "She said she couldn't do it, but you know how Effie would say such a thing. She tries so hard to make everybody feel pleasant. Now, when I say no, people understand that I mean no." Marcia looked as well pleased with herself as if she had announced a more amiable characteristic. She was a girl with a peculiarly blunt and uncompromising manner. If she refused a request, her refusal was as downright as a blow. It was never softened by any little phrase suggesting regret. And Marcia was so well satisfied with herself that she felt something like contempt for the way Effe took the sting out of saying no, and made the people to whom she refused a favor as grateful as if she had granted it. The girl who starts to go through life with her elbows out is going to find the road hard to travel. If she prides herself on being blunt and outspoken, she may need to use that as consolation for her sore heart many a time. It pays to make even a refusal pleasant. It pays to take out the sting whenever possible, and drop in the honey. One who starts out as Marcia did, priding herself on being blunt, and contemptuous of the little courtesies, is likely to come to old age friendless and embittered. Learn to be pleasant and take out the sting—Exchange. ADD COLOR TO THE GARDEN Goldfinches, Always Attracted by Sunflowers, Make Beauty Spot Especially Attractive. A very familiar bird in our gardens, especially when there are sunflowers growing there, is the beautiful little American goldfinch. Their deep black wings and tail and little cap form a striking, though pleasing, contrast to their bright yellow bodies. Because of their sweet, canary-like notes they are often called wild canaries. They are very sociable little birds, being found usually in small flocks; they even build their nests in small communities. When winter approaches the male changes his bright yellow coat for one of a soberer color closely resembling that of the female. Numbers of them feed upon the sunflowers in my garden every year, and it is a pleasing sight to go in there and see their bright yellow bodies flashing in the sun. They are hardy little fellows, spending the entire winter with us.—New York Sun. Moving Pictures for the Home. Moving Pictures for the Home. A comparatively inexpensive combination moving-picture camera and projector for amateur use is illustrated in Popular Mechanics Magazine. It bears about the same relation to the costly and heavy professional machines as a compact, light camera does to a cumbersome apparatus employed by portrait photographers. Exclusive of its tripod, the new movie camera weighs less than three and a half pounds. It uses standard film and is operated as easily as any simple "still" instrument. The capacity of its magazines, designed for daylight loading, is twenty feet, which, because eight instead of sixteen pictures are taken per second, records as much action as forty feet of film in a professional machine. Sharp, clear pictures capable of reasonable enlargement for "stills" are obtained. By changing the lens attaching a light frame with reels of 200-foot capacity, and mounting a small, cylindrical lamphouse, the camera is converted into a projector. All Serbian peasants are great walkers. A servant, given a short leave, will think nothing of footing it to his home, five and twenty miles off, and walking back after a short day spent with his family. It is quite in the ordinary way of their business for both men and women to be two days on the road to market. With little in the bread-bag that hangs at his belt the Serbian soldier is quite content if only he can roll himself a cigarette now and then and look forward perhaps to a tot of plumcognac. The Fat Customer—I want half a dozen collars, please. The Clerk—What size? The F. C.—Thirteen and a half. The Clerk—Surely you must take a larger collar than that. What size shirt do you wear? The F.

The despised coyote has lived to see the day when his pelt is sought in the fur markets of the world as one of the prizes of the trapper's pack. The skin of the prairie wolf today brings a price up to $15, according to the quotations in the fur buyer's list. Up till last year this fur was a drug or the market—Dawson News.

I have been in your city for four months and a half and although my stay has beer a busy one it has been a pieasant | one. | Both before and after my arrical |T have heard many remarks about the | “peculiarity” of your people here and the many different “cliques” that J oui encounter; none of which J have been able to come in contact | with as yet. 1 feel that the people of your city have been exceptionally nice to me, both young and old, and that there are some as fine people |here as it has ever been my pleasure to meet. There are a few of them that I shall make it my duty to keep in touch with during my soldier career after September Ist, and one of those few shall be yourself. In conclusion, permit me to thank you and those many good friends whe have received me with open hands und hearts during my short stay, for the many courtesies extended both me and the firm that I represent; an¢ also to express the sincere desire that we shall meet at a liter date, under a clearer sky with broader and better racial opportunities.

It is called the mest beautiful language of the world (“Le plus belle langue du monde"). In certain American centers it is the boast that we study the French jan- guage, so as to be able to write ele- zant English. Before closing this letter allow me to say that the Monitor hus again prover its capacity for the distribu. tion of useful and multifarious sub- jects, Like the fishes in the Scrip- tures, no matter how many crave for food there is always enough to feed the multitude, From the narrative of the soldier to the dark deeds of persecutors, there is room in the Monitor for the con- veyance of every echo whether from tne heart or the mind, from anguish or joy.
