The Monitor

COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG, who last week was restored to active service in the United States army and ordered to report at Camp Grant. It will be remembered that Colonel Young, who was sixth in line for brigadier general, was retired nearly two years ago, just before 250 brigadier generals were appointed by the President. Knowing the tremendous opposition the South was raising against giving commissions to Negroes, Colonel Young's retirement and the circumstances surrounding it aroused great indignation among our people. The Monitor expressed its opinion fearlessly and unreservedly at that time and has had no reason to change it since then.

GROWING, THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Soldiers Overseas "Making Good" French and American Commanders Praise Their Coolness and Courage Under Severest "Baptisms of Fire." COMMANDERS WELL PLEASED Snappy at Drilling and Expert in Field Maneuvers—"My Oldest Veterans Could Do It No Better," Said a Noted French General. WITH the American Armies in France.—Colored troops from America already have established themselves in Europe as being cool and reliable fighters in the front line. Both America and French commands say so, and if the Germans ever discovered who it was that held part of the line through Argonne forest when the boches failed to get through some time ago, the German command has a decidedly high respect for American Colored infantry. Up and down the line, after the test of a year's service, you hear no doubts expressed regarding the Colored infantry. The Colored doughboys have made good in the line as well as behind. They have proven themselves cool and brave soldiers in the trenches and gentlemen when back at rest in French towns. You are continually running into units of these Colored chaps as you travel up and down the line from Switzerland to Flanders. Pull Off Some Snappy Drilling Down in a little town some miles back of Verdun the correspondent encountered a large unit of these Colored chaps, all from Chicago or thereabouts. They had just come back to rest, after a long period in the Argonne forest trenches. Like their predecessors, a Negro unit from New York, they had made a great hit with the French officers in high command of the sector. Unlike the New York Negroes, these Chicago boys had encountered no big fighting, and they were disappointed at being taken from the trenches before doing big fighting. The French officers explained that good soldiers can be recognized just as well when they are holding the line as when they are fighting, but the Colored doughboys were still disappointed. Finally the French general of the army came down to review the Negro outfit. Down by the creek they went through some of the snappiest exercise ever seen, and the French general was delighted. When the review as it had been planned was finished the general turned to the American colonel: "If I were an American general what would I do now?" asked the Frenchman. "Most anything," replied the colonel. THE MONITOR "These boys will do anything you wish." "Well, suppose the Germans were across the creek," replied the general, "I'd like to have this nearest company attack them." Difficult Field Maneuver Skillfully Executed. The captain of the nearest company was given the order, and he marched his men across the meadow, where they suddenly disappeared. Pretty soon a whisle sounded, and the company was up and running toward the creek. Only a minute and then they dropped, waiting, then running, always skirmishing in the latest approved French fashion. When they dropped it was with two skirmish lines in advance and two support lines leading off to the rear, with each man dropping over the legs of the chap in front of him. Tin derbies and packs covered the upper portions of their bodies. After a bit of a flank movement by a couple of platoons the supposed German positions along the creek were stormed and taken. The French general was delighted beyond words for a moment. Finally he said: "My oldest veterans could do it no better, even if they were warned it was on the program, and your boys did that extemporaneously." The general remembered the review, and a few days later these Colored chaps from Chicago received a fine letter from him, congratulating them on their esprit de corps and their work. French Like Colored Americans It was interesting to see how these Colored boys mixed with the French inhabitants of the village with whom the Americans were billited. The French folk like the Colored boys and felt highly honored at the way the latter learned French. The Colored Americans are getting extremely fluent, and it fits entirely with their scheme of things to use all French forms of politeness. Down the battle line a large unit of Colored troops was encountered at serious business. It was going into the line, taking over a hilly and important sector formerly held by French troops. It was the first taste of the trenches or of the front for the boys in this unit. These men were mostly from the South. They had been trained in the middle west and some more in France, but never had been on duty under shell fire. Yet on this dark night, while the Germans bombarded, these thousands of Colored doughboys, chiefly under direction of Colored officers, though some were white, took over a difficult and long sector without a mishap and with less noise than usual, so the French officers said. They have held that long sector for some time now, and there has been no slip, from the farthest outpost to the rear supply truck.

Simmons Captivates Large Audience Simmons Captivates Large Audience Calvary* Baptist Church Crowded to Its Fullest Capacity to Receive Inspiring Message of Gifted Orator. OPTIMISM IS HIS KEYNOTE Commends Religion to Race; Urges Loyalty, Patience and Duty; Makes Skillful Thrusts at Undemocratic Practices Countenanced in America. FRESH from another one of his forensic triumphs which he scored before an audience of nearly 4,000 people, more than two-thirds of whom were white, in the Auditorium at Des Moines, Iowa, Thursday night, and at which meeting the governor of Iowa presided, Colonel Roscoe Conkling Simmons, one of America's most famous orators, who has spoken before hundreds of thousands in all sections of this country, came to Omaha Friday night and delivered one of his brilliant addresses before a capacity audience in Calvary Baptist church, a beautiful and costly pressed brick edifice of which a Colored Baptist congregation, the united one of Mount Moriah and Pilgrim's Rest, are soon to take possession. For more than two hours, and then his captivated audience was reluctant to let him stop, Colonel Simmons with the witchery of his speech amused, entertained and instructed the large audience which welcomed him. Seintilating wit, droll, side-splitting humor, tear-compelling pathos were all used by a master of the art in driving home facts and truths of which the entire nation needs to be reminded and which every individual should take to himself. Simmons exorciates individual, racial and national faults with such skillful passes of his rapier that he cuts and leaves no wound. This is the secret of his success in talking as no other man can or has talked to Southern white audiences numbering thousands, who have applauded him to the echo. Colonel Simmons spoke under the auspices of Mount Moriah and Pilgrim's Rest Baptist churches. It was after 5 o'clock when he arrived in Omaha and he was taken immediately to the handsome home of Dr. and Mrs. L. E. Britt on Maple street, where he was a dinner guest. He was escorted to Calvary Baptist church shortly after 8 o'clock, where he gave his lecture, and then left the city, much to bisregree, on a late train to fill another engagement. Standing room in the church was at a premium before the lecture began. The Rev. William Franklin, pastor of Pilgrim's Rest church, was chairman of the meeting. Seated with him and the distinguished speaker on the platform were several of the ministers of the city and prominent laymen. The Liberty Chorus, composed of twenty young ladies, under the direction of Miss Fay Templeton, sang several selections, which were well received. The Rev. W. F. Botts, pastor of Zion Baptist church, gave the invocation. The chairman then introduced the Rev. M. H. Wilkinson as the one who would introduce the man who was to introduce the speaker. The Rev. Mr. Wilkinson briefly but admirably discharged this duty, in which he said this is the day of big churches, big guns and big men; but the greatest need is for big men, mentally and morally. It was his pleasure to introduce as the introducer of the speaker a big man, physically and mentally, who would introduce a man small of stature but big in intellect. He then presented the Rev. Mr. Anderson, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, who said, in part: "While my reverend brother was speaking so eulogistically of me I was feeling around for sprouting wings, but failed to find any. It is a pleasure to be in this service and to bid you welcome. It is a significant gathering tonight. I hope that in the coming years this church may prove a source of inspiration and spiritual blessing." He told of his friendship for the race and his admiration for the noble traits of character which it had always manifested. It gave him pleasure to introduce one who was doing such splendid service, Roscoe Conkling Simmons. Colonel Simmons graciously thanked the Liberty Chorus for its music and urged his audience not to be ashamed of those plaintive melodies which our fathers and mothers sang. Negro music, plantation melodies, our folk songs constitute America's native music. Yet many of our people are ashamed of these folk songs. Colored folks are trying to sing white folks' music and white folks are trying to sing black folks' music, and in doing this both get out of tune. "Don't be ashamed of Negro music," said the speaker, for it was these songs of our fathers and prayers of our mothers which have helped to make us what we are. And right here I want to say that I believe firmly in the Christian religion and in the church. I desire to go on record as saying that no man, white or black, is civilized unless he belongs to the church. He may not be better than the other fellow, but by allying himself with the church he indicates that he wants to be something. I believe in building and owning good churches. Where you see a shack church you find a shack people. Beautify and keep up your church property and all your property. Make Vol. IV. No. 20 (Whole No. 176) NEGRO TROOPERS BRING DOWN HUN More Than 100 Bullets Hit Enemy Plane—Pilot Killed. With the American Army in —Our Colored troops proved markmanship recently by braving down a boche plaine, which had ridden them with machine gun fire, in than 15 seconds. More than a hundred bullets penetrated the aeroplane. The Germans appeared over the quaint old town of St. Die and swooped down to an altitude of less than 150 feet. He was forced to rise to clear the tower of the Hotel de Ville, but again glided down and turned his machine gun on the principal street, despite the fact that many civilians, men, women and children, were on the sidewalks. One civilian was wounded. Two Colored military policemen promptly unloaded their revolvers at the Hun. He climbed out of their range and passed over the city, slid down again when he discovered a company of Negro infantry on the bike, resting under some trees. He turned loose his machine gun again. The company commander ordered his men to open fire. The boche plane burst into flames and fell in a field a few hundred yards away. The pilot was killed. THREE ELECTED TO WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE West Virginia Rivals Record of Every State Since Reconstruction Days in Recent Election. Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 9.—Resulting from Tuesday's election three Colored men will have seats in the lower house when West Virginia's legislature convenes next January, rivaling the record of any state since the days of reconstruction. The successful candidates, nominated in primaries and elected on the republican ticket, are: J. V. Coleman of Fayette county, formerly postmaster at Kimberly, now engaged in the production of coal; H. J. Capehart of McDowell county, an attorney-at-law, and T. G. Nutter, former grand exalted ruler of the Elks, at present grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias. Mr. Nutter is also an attorney. Both Fayette and McDowell counties have had Colored legislators before, the former three and the latter one; but at no time has there been more than one Colored representative in the legislature. The nomination and election of these men is considered remarkable for the fact that in none of the counties which they represent is there a majority of Colored voters, the per cent in McDowell being 34, Fayette 22 and Kanawha 10. In Pleasant Rivalry Between White and Colored Citizens in Raising War Work Community Fund the Race Scores; One County Gives $14,000. New York, Nov. 12.—When the United War Work campaign opened Monday of this week and the hundreds of thousands of solicitors in every city, town and rural district in the United States started to raise the millions needed for the fund, certain true-blue American citizens were able to sit back and watch the rest of the country dig down in its pockets, their quotas in some instances doubled, tripled and even quadrupled. These true-blue citizens are none other than Georgia and North Carolina Negroes. With a friendly competition on in these states between Colored and white people as to which will first subscribe their allotments R. H. King, campaign director for the Southeastern Army department, has wired Dr. John R. Molt, head of the Y. M. C. A., that in one county Negroes already have raised $3,250 in cash. Their share of the quota is $3,000. The white citizens in consequence have been given a new quota of their own. A county in North Carolina furnishes the piece de resistance, however. Here the quota for the entire county was $14,000. The Colored citizens imagined this sum was their share and hence have cheerfully and proudly raised the full sum that both races had been asked for.

Man Murdered Monday Night Frank Stewart's Body Found With Ugly Wound in Head Lying in Pool of Blood in Dining Room of Home. ROBBERY EVIDENTLY MOTIVE crime Committed by Some One Familiar With Premises, Habits and Affairs of the Victim; Alleged Murder Arrested. FRANK STEWART, 40 years of age, was murdered some time Monday night at his home, 2112 Nicholas street, the motive for the crime evidently being robbery. The crime was committed by some one familiar with Setwart's premises, habits and affairs. As far as known at the time The Monitor goes to press, the last person who saw him alive was I. Muskovitz, who runs a grocery at 2118 Nicholas street. Mr. Muskovitz told The Monitor that Stewart was in his store about 8 o'clock Monday night and bought a bottle of milk. The police have several persons under surveillance and have arrested Harry McNeil, whom it is alleged was with Stewart at a late hour Monday night. Mrs. G. Kaplan, who lives directly opposite the Stewart home, saw two men and a woman at the door about 10 o'clock that night. A woman by the name of Lulu Bell, who was one of those who found Stewart's body, told Chief Briggs that she and a man known as "Baltimore" were at the door about 10 o'clock Monday night, but could not get in. Stewart's body was found about 11 o'clock Tuesday morning by Lulu Bell of 212 North Twenty-eighth street, Rev. Joe Washington of 1619 North Twenty-fourth street and a milkman whose name The Monitor did not learn. It seems that the Bell woman had been to the house twice that morning. When she came about 11 o'clock she went across to G. Kaplan's, who deals in junk and second-hand cars, which he keeps in a lot adjoining the Stewart place, and asked him to unlock the gate of his yard so that they could get to Stewart's back door because she thought he might be dead. Mr. Kaplan opened the gate and Lulu Bell, who had asked the milkman and the Rev. Joe Washington to go with her, entered the house by the back door, which they found unlocked, and in the middle room, used as a dining room and bedroom, found Stewart's body, fully dressed, except his coat, lying on the floor in a pool of blood which had oozed from an ugly wound in his head, apparently made by some blunt instrument. His pockets were turned inside out and his gold watch and chain had evidently been snatched from his vest, for the chain bar was still in the his button-hole. The lamp was burning on the table. His trunk, which stood in the same room in which it is said he kept a good amount of money, was open. The room showed no evidence of any fight or struggle. Diligent search by Chief Briggs and his officers, who were promptly on the scene, and subsequently by Police Officer J. N. Thomas and The Monitor reporter, failed to reveal the weapon used or any clue to the murderer or murderers. Stewart, who had been arrested several times on the charge of bootlegging, but was never convicted because the detectives could not locate the stock of liquor which he was supposed to have kept on hand, is known to have always carried about his person and premises a considerable sum of money. Evidently this was known by the person or persons who committed the crime. When the body was found it was rigid, showing that death had ensued several hours before, which would indicate that the murder was committed somewhere around midnight Monday. COLONEL YOUNG RECALLED TO ARMY DUTY Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.—Anouncement is made by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant, that the secretary of war has directed as necessary in the military service that Colonel Charles Young proceed to Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, and report in person to the commanding general of that camp for assignment to duty in connection with the Colored development battalions at Camp Grant.

I was very happy tonight because I have received, not as you might guess, a Croix de Guerre, promotion to a generalship or a nice legacy from some miserly old uncle whom everybody had forgotten and neglected back there in old "Squeendunk," but a letter from home; two letters from Gladys, one from my mother, one from my sister, one from my brother Fred, and one from you. Every soldier has experienced a complete readjustment of values. A letter from home and tobacco—that is really all that counts. Money won't buy either. Out of the tender hearts of the loved ones at home there flutter in from across the shimmering seas, letters—messengers of cheer, of hope, of love. The Y. M. C. A. and Uncle Sam come down to us in trench and camp with soothing smokes; letters first, smokes next. We are consolled by the one while we wait for the other. It seems very strange, as I was just thinking of writing you the other day, when here comes your letter from the old town, full of the western breeze and art and news. Sorry to hear that Omaha seems so quiet now, but I anticipate that she will be a bigger and better place when we get back. Yes, I suppose that politics has to take a back seat now. I was automatically eliminated by reason of being in the army, from taking any part in the last municipal campaign. I voted by mail, however. How does it feel for Omaha not to have a Mayor Dahlman, but just a plain citizen, Jim Dahlman? When at Des Moines I heard he was defeated and wrote Scruggs that we would have to send him to congress. Sure enough, here comes the New York Herald, Paris edition, two months later, stating that he was out in the primaries for congress. How did he come out? Well, George, I will say this: I have never known public officials whom I thought any more square than Jim Dahlman and George Magney. It was gratifying to learn that Dean Ringer landed. I have known him over twenty years. We have had many things in common. Fought on the same team against a common enemy at "Old Nebraska" and associated with him as an attorney in the same litigation. You can't beat him for all that goes to make the man and scholar. We are not in sunny Italy, but France. We are in the big drive (deleted by censor). We took 30,000 boche prisoners in five days in our sector and crowded them so fast that they couldn't take their artillery. The battle started on the whole front on the 25th of September, with perhaps the finest bombardment known in history. The earth quaked with our guns and all along our sector, for twenty hours, there was a veritable Bedlam breaking loose. The boches were terror stricken (deleted by censor), and fled or surrendered by battalions and regiments. We came across strong fronts and dugouts which they had held for four years and had built them up like palaces, with electric lights, furnace heat, bath, pianos, frescoed walls, little chapels and gymnasiums. They are retreating in rout with American and French in hot pursuit. Turner, Madison and Pinkett are still in the regiment (deleted by sensor). Haven't seen Peebles yet, but he is over here "somewhere." George, I would like to write you something for publication, but am so busy that I can never get my thoughts together on anything comprehensive. I often think of my friends in Omaha. Give them my best regards. Received a splendid letter from Jesse Brillhart, which I have not answered yet. Give him my best regards. How many more appointments did we get under the present city administration? Was Bob Smith re-elected? Was Jim Dahlman nominated for congress? It was the first I heard as to who was inspector of weights and measures. Did Ole hold tight? I could not hear from Scruggs. I was very much surprised to hear that my letter was published. I haven't seen it yet. Tell everybody, "Hello!" That the boys from Bam are brave soldiers that we are coming back victorious. Sincerely your friend. Lt. WILL N. JOHNSON. Co. B 366, A. P. O. 766, A.

SCRUGGS Attorney-at-Law 13th and Farnam --- Colored Women In War Industries Colored Women In War Industries Large Numbers Entering New Occupations; Welfare Organizations Are Seeking to Surround Them With Uplifting and Protective Agencies. COMPETENT WORKERS IN FIELD Miss Mary Jackson and an Efficient Corps of Well Trained Assistants Meeting the Situation; Y. W. C. A. War Council Making Special Efforts to Safeguard Colored Workers. NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—As the result of revolutionary economic changes in the United States, superinduced by the war, the Colored girl is entering the industrial field in large numbers. Realizing that this new situation is fraught with accompanying responsibilities and dangers, the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian association is making a special effort to throw around Colored workers the same safeguards as white workers. The member of Miss Eva D. Bowles' staff entrusted with the important task of heading up the work for Colored women engaged in industry throughout the country is Miss Mary E. Jackson, a native of Providence, R.I., who is officially known as special industrial worker among Colored girls and women under the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. Miss Jackson has associated with her a corps of competent workers, who are stationed in large industrial communities where Colored women are employed. Each week new Y. W. C. A. workers are being sent to towns and cities where race women are taking advantage of newer industrial opportunities and where it is often necessary for the mill or factory owner to be shown the necessity of giving the Colored worker fair wages and hours, sanitary working conditions and preliminary training. The industrial worker seeks to show the employer that by looking after the welfare of the employee he raises the morale of his working force and improves the efficiency of his plant; that with such favorable conditions existing the employer is certain of increased profits. It is the mission of the industrial worker to bring the Colored female employee under the direct influence of the Young Women's Christian association. Clubs are formed which afford working girls wholesome recreation, spiritual guidance and training. Knitting, sewing, cooking, glee and religious clubs are organized. Practical talks, social morality lectures, practical English, oral expression, conversation and letter writing are included in the "intellectual program" carried out in a number of centers. The program, however, varies, as other features are introduced when desired by members of the different industrial clubs. Folk dancing, floor work, military drill, basket ball and community singing also are taught. It is incumbent on the industrial worker to secure employment for girls and women, which is gone about in a most thorough manner. When openings are sought special emphasis is laid on spiritual development, physical needs, adaptability, preparation, desirability, chances for promotion, wages and their relation to girls' responsibility and educational values. In cases where girls have been placed by the industrial worker incurry is made into the nature of the industry, the kind of work desired, whether day or night shifts and if rest room facilities are provided. Surveys into industrial conditions so far as affecting Colored women and girls have been made in Louisville, St. Louis, Pittsburgh and Detroit. In New York an intensive survey is being made by two investigators which is financed by the War Work Council of the Y. W. C. A. Here are a few interesting facts and figures given out by Miss Jackson which give some idea as to the big part the Colored female worker is playing in the industrial field: Two workers have been sent to Lynchburg, Va., and are spending their time among the girls in tobacco factories; at Winston-Salem, N. C., at least 500 race girls are working in fifty-eight large tobacco factories, where workers are prepared to enter the field; at Nashville, Tenn., 1,500 girls are employed in ammunition plants and a worker was placed among them the first of the month; at Detroit at least 2,000 girls are employed in ten factories. A worker is on the scene and expects to open the recreation center soon; about 300 girls are employed in a uniform factory at Charleston, S. C., and two workers are on the field; Hopewell, Va., and Penniman have recreation workers; recreation work is being acceptably performed in Columbia, S. C., where Colored girls are employed in a knitting mill; a new building for the large number of Colored women doing industrial work in Washington, D. C., is to be conducted as a model community recreation. At St. Louis work for industrial girls has been very thoroughly de- THE MONITOR Our Women and Children Mothers, Wives, Sisters and Sweethearts Oh, the joy, the happiness, the thankfulness that comes to mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts with news of peace! A famous man called this war "the woman's war," meaning that never before have the women given their services as they gave in this struggle. Victory to a large extent has rested upon the mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts of those who fought "over there." The high courage, faith and ideals of the brave boys have been reassured and inspired constantly by their women. It has been a wonderful privilege to all women of the allied world. As we scanned the faces of the crowd in the peace celebration this week we could not a joy akin to madness in the children, the young men and women, the gray-haired mothers and fathers; youth and old age, employer and employed, rich and poor, Colored and white—all, all happy Americans. Happiness untold in the hearts of those whose treasured blue stars have not turned to gold. A peace, a resignation sublime in the hearts of those whose loved ones have given up their lives that democracy might not perish from the earth. Mothers, wives, sisters and sweet-hearts, here's to the brown boys in khaki—here's to their valor, their bravery, their loyalty, their sacrifice! They have fought for democracy in other lands with the hope that justice and true democracy may be granted to their own race in their own land. God grant that their hopes may not be blighted, that their sacrifices may be gloriously rewarded.—L. S. E. (We made it our rule in writing to our boys to send along with all the gossip and silly things of which we could think, the best jokes we could clip from our reading. In our last letter from Lieutenant Andrew Reed he sent us one in return. He says this is his latest.—L. S. E.) A sergeant was inspecting the sentries in the trenches when he came upon one whose head seemed to be keeping very low. The sergeant asked him why he didn't look over the parapet once in a while. "Why," said the sentry, "there is a sharpshooter who has this spot on line and if I should stick my head up he would get me." "Well, I'll be d——d! You sure are a coward," said the sergeant. "Let me look over." The sergeant then stepped upon the firing step and stuck his head up, when a trench cootie (a young louse about the size of a baby elephant) bit him in the back of the neck. He bent his head down to get him and as he did so a bullet buried itself right back of the spot where his head was. He looked at the bullet hole, then at the sentry and got the cootie from off his collar and looked at him. While he held him between his fingers he then said to him (I guess it was a him; it might have been a her, though; they usually bite harder): "Well, I can't give you any croix de guerre or distinguished service medal"—then unbuttoning his coat he placed him in his armpit and finished his sentence with the words, "but I can give you a d——d good home." EXPERT WOMAN CURRENCY EXAMINER MAKES GOOD Colored Woman in Bureau of Engraving Makes a Record in Currency Rush. Washington, D. C.—Mrs. Anna R. Grant, a Colored expert currency examiner, did three persons' work for more than a week during the recent currency rush. More than once she went to duty at 8 a. m. worked all day and all night, until 12 the next day, stayed off that afternoon for rest and went on again that night. From July to September she was of greatest assistance to those in charge by relieving other girls. "She is to all in the bureau, regardless of race, an example of rare efficiency and fine spirit" one of her associates said. Mrs. Grant's husband is in France. The Negro girls as a whole in the bureau are satisfactory and are said to complain less than the other girls. veloped along organization and placement office in St. Louis. At Louis been appointed a member of the advisory board for the federal employment and the industrial worker has ville, where about 2,000 Colored girls are employed in factories, the Y. W. C. A. has secured a large house for a social center. Conducted by Lucille Skaggs Edwards Lieutenant Reed's Joke. THE BLUE TRIANGLE ON BABEL'S TOWER THE BLUE TRIANGLE ON BABEL'S TOWER Lucia pulled her shawl farther across her face and shrank down on the station platform bench as the solid blue figure suddenly bent down over her. Excitedly she shook her head in answer to the question that she could not understand. She searched through her red plaid waist for the paper that Tony had folded into a little square and given to her. The writing on it, in the English that Tony knew and she did not, told the house where she lived. Tony had explained it all to her that morning. He had told it to her again at the station. Then, waving his hat, he had disappeared into the train with the rest of the men, and Lucia had been left standing ouside the gate. There were crowds of women pushing all about her. They were weeping. So Lucia wept, too. Lucia had been betrothed to Tony in the old country. Five years before, with a long ticket for New York pinned into his inside pocket, her lover had left her. He wrote in every letter that he had made her a home in the new country. Her dowry money had finally provided her own transportation, and for two months Tony and she had been married. Then he had drawn a ticket with a number on it, and this morning he had gone off to war. To the policeman Lucia told all these things in rapid italian. But the policeman only talked back to her as rapidly in a language that was not Italian. She followed him dumbly to headquarters. An hour later a woman wearing American clothes gently began talking to her in beautiful Italian. Italian Lucia was only one of thousands of foreign-born women, Sovians, Italians, Armenians, Russians, Lithuanians, Polish, who, when the draft called their men folk to the American colors, asked in helpless confusion what it was all about. When would their men be back? What did people mean when they told them they would receive money through the mall? Where could they find work that they knew how to do? Was there no one who could explain it all to them in their own language? The Y. W. C. A. was ready to offer assistance, but it would be of no value to offer it in English. Consequently it had to supply a corps of women who could talk to the foreign-born woman at her own door in the language that she was used to bearing in the homeland. To teach her English was as essential a factor in her Americanization as to find her a Job. Therefore the war council of the Y. W. C. A. set out to find her English. A year before the war began in Europe, the leaders of the Young Woman's Christian association foresaw just such a situation, and made ready to meet it. They studied the needs of the immigrant. They trained skilled American social workers to become familiar with the home habits and to speak the language of the Lett and the Hungarian and the Greek and the other foreign mothers who brought babies and bundles over from Ellis island to Battery park. The organization into which this experiment has developed was named by the Y. W. C. A. national board, "The International Institute for Young Women." In terms which these women can understand, it is teaching the foreign-born how to sew and cook and care for the baby. To girls like Italian Lucia, who confusedly lingered on the station platforms when the draft trains pulled out, the W. Y. C. A. is giving direct assistance. Educated European women, appointed to the regular staff of workers at the camp Y. W. C. A. Hostess Houses are able to talk to the drafted men in their own language, assist them in writing letters home, and in arranging furloughs and little visits to the camp. "The Home Information Service for Foreign Families of Enlisted Men" is doing practical relief work for the wives and mothers. The purpose of the board is to help the women folk left behind to understand where their boys are and how they are being treated; how they need home support and cheer, how to send them comforts, and to keep pace themselves by learning English and other things, so that when the boys come home they will not find their women still very un-American and out of sympathy with them. Food conservation bulletins have been translated into 18 or 19 languages. At the factories and munition plants interpreters are available for the non-English speaking women by whom the real war industries of the country are being largely carried on. In 25 important cities International Institute Bureaux are training American and foreign women for full time social service work with foreigners. Twenty-four trained women are employed on the national and district staff of the Y. W. C. A. On June 15 there were 105 trained women working at Amercianization. When more than 75,000 Chicago men filled out their blue cards for the September 12 draft, Gang Luo Wong appeared at one precinct bringing with him Mrs. Gang Wong and the three children. All five wished to register. The enrolling clerk explained, but the Gang Luo Wongs make many broken Chinese remonstrances before the master of the family was induced to sign a card without his wife. Mrs. Wong could not speak English. What would his family do in a strange country if Gang Luo went to war? All over the United States Chinese and Poles and Serbs were asking the same question It is to just such needs that the War Council of the Y. M. C. A. is organized to give assistance.

Important Notice Owing to the increased cost of publication, a new schedule of prices having gone into effect October 10th, The Monitor is compelled to increase its advertising rates. The new rates became effective November 1st. Our circulation has rapidly increased since our former rates were established and therefore we should have raised our rates correspondingly before this time. There is a great demand for advertising space in our columns and for this, of course, there is a reason. Increased cost of publication compels us, and increased circulation justifies us, in advancing our advertising rates. Remember, please, that the new rates for advertisements went into effect November 1st. Another important matter: The war industries board has ordered newspapers and magazines to cut off all complimentary copies, etc., to send papers only to bona fide Paid Subscribers, all subscriptions being payable in advance, and to allow no returned unsold copies from newsboys and agents. This means, of course, that if you wish to receive the paper regularly through the mail, which is the wisest and safest way, YOU MUST PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IN ADVANCE. It means that agents must pay for whatever number of copies they order. The Monitor has been quite lenient with delinquent subscribers, believing them and still believing them to be honest and therefore willing to pay their subscriptions. The ruling of the war industries board compels us to secure payment from all subscribers or else stop sending them the paper. We don't want to stop your paper. We don't believe you want us to stop it. We want to continue sending it to you every week and we want you to help us double our subscription list by sending us a new subscriber. Don't compel us to stop your paper. Please send in your subscription promptly by check, draft or post office money order. Subscription price $2.00 a year.

"Military necessity!" Ahem! It makes one smile and the smile expand into a grin and the grin into a hearty ha, ha! We thought the war was over. If this action had been taken some months ago when the demand for tried and capable officers was represented as being imperative our civilian brain might have been able to understand the "military necessity" which then was urgent; but after the war is over—well, please excuse us, it so appeals to our sense of humor that we have to laugh. MAYOR SMITH MAKES GOOD SUGGESTION MAYOR SMITH has suggested that on Thanksgiving Day a great united Thanksgiving service be held in the Auditorium in which all creeds, colors and races shall unite to return thanks for victory. The idea is a good one and should be acted upon. In such a service Jews, Roman Catholics, Episcopalians, Protestants of all kinds and all classes can take part without any compromise of principle. As all classes and creeds have fought together it does seem most fitting that they should return thanks to the Giver of all victory together. The fact that in several states Colored men have been elected to the legislature, and in many cases by a largely white constituency, shows that we are making substantial progress in democracy in the United States. The Teutons complain that the peace terms are drastic. Not nearly drastic enough to repay the evil that they have done in their insatiable lust for world dominion. We wonder if those St. Louisians who elected Riley to the legislature thought they were voting for an Irishman? Well, pon my soul, Riley, you are doing quite well. PEACE The monster guns are silenced and arms are stacked today upon the fields of France. The war weary world that forgot how to laugh is learning the craft again and forgetting the days of sorrow. Into human heart's has stolen a restfulness that is sweeter than the winds that blow o'er Malwa's land of sleep and hands have turned from the work of destruction to the work of construction. The wastes of France and Belgium shall bloom again, and the birds will sing their matins to the morning sun and the home of industry will again become the music of the world. Peace is beautiful, but— Peace has brought us burdens, burdens that shall bow down the backs of children unto the third and fourth generation. For the sake of peace we pick up our burdens gladly, but why war? It need not have been. In both war and peace it is the people who suffer. The rich have reaped gold and power; the poor have reaped sorrow and oppression. At this moment the world, aren't both war and peace after war ghastly jokes? We stack our arms, but let us, the people, not sleep upon them. Peace has come because the people of the Central powers wrested the power from the war lords and brought peace. Now let the people of the world wrest the war making power from kings, cabinets and congresses, and there will always be peace. No people ever wanted war and for that reason alone should a declaration of war be the people's right. And until the people take this right the world will go on, warring and bleeding and dying, just for the sake of the interim called peace. Banish war and there will be no need to make peace. MAKING THE WORLD SAFE FOR SOCIALISM Little did President Wilson dream that when he enunciated the slogan, "To make the world safe for democracy," that to make the world safe for socialism would be what would really come to pass. After the St. Louis convention, the American press declared that socialism was dead. Socialists of America, like the socialists THE MONITOR of all countries, did not want war and they fought against it. Through governmental power they were squeched and though some left the party for the proverbial handful of silver, others remained and did not hesitate to stand by their convictions. Prison has been their reward, but in the light of the European upheavals they will probably not remain long behind grim walls. The prospects are that out of the European chaos shall come a multitude of socialist governments and it is only a matter of time when socialism will dictate the politics of Europe. America, while decrying and punishing socialists, has appropriated their tenets by the dozens. Food control, industrial control, national regulation of wages, public management of public utilities, regional banks, these and many more are purely socialistic. Let us not thing that socialism in America is dead. The fire test of war has purged the party of some great names whose faith faltered and whose manhood cried, but is not dead. After the war it will come to life with added power and greatness and will cause much disquietude to political parties whose sum of religion is the exploitation of the people. At the present moment world socialism seems to be the handwriting upon the wall. Its success or failure lies with the socialists themselves. AN UNKNOWN GENIUS He is a wonderful genius, that democrat that printed cards and passed them out in front of church doors, asking the Colored voter to support the democratic ticket because Wilson wrote an article upon lynching. We would like to know something about the size of his brain, the angle of his cephalic index and the contour of his physiognomy. We would like to know his name so that we might write it alongside of Aristotle, Voltaire and Shakespeare. If we could but glimpse him we would have him done in Parisian marble or bronze, so that he might stand in our museum forever, a silent monument to the triumph of human thought and mortal ingenuity. Why should such mentality hide itself under a bsuhel? Why does he not come forth and let us behold his Jovian brow and intellectual eyes? Are we to go down to our graves bereft of the opportunity of knowing this human quiteness of intelligence, this marvel of wisdom and this epitome of learning? Who is he that fathered this jovial bit of junk? A good wife is the handiest ornament a man can have around the shack called home, provided when he starts out to look for one he doesn't go too heavy on the ornament part and forget the wife end. A woman can be all ornament, look like the aurora borealis on a charged night and be covered with jewels that make her sound like a South Dakota hailstorm every time she moves, and then fall short as an artistic juggler of pancakes and cod fish balls. Try and get the unexpected drop on Mabul sometime and Sherlock her daily propensities. If you find her reading, "One Thousand and One Ways to Compound a Dish of Hash," beat it to the dispenser of cinch circlets and ask him to let you oggle his outlay of Kimberleys. Then when you see her again, tell her you've had a nice chat with the bungalow builder and he has agreed to get busy on a five-room nest for five centuries down and so much per. Then she will start telling you, while her head digs into your heart compartment, about the kind of kitchen range she wants and the style of kitchen cabinet. At that psychological moment, haul out the expensive little hunk of pure carbon and ask her which finger to slip it on. You wouldn't be able to guess the right one in nine chances. But friend male anticipator, if you find her snuckled up in a wilderness of sofa pillows, reading "The Smashed Heart or the Past She Left Behind Her," pussyfoot it out the front door and leave your card in the mail box. The chance is too long and she has as much chance making an A-1 home queen as a prehistoric hipos has of winning the next derby. In his proclamation announcing the signing of the armistice President Wilson said: "My Fellow Countrymen: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. It will now be our fortunate duty to assist BY EXAMPLE, by sober, friendly counsel, and by neutral aid in the establishment of just democracy throughout the world." Fine words, Mr. President, Don't forget US and AFRICA! SKITS OF SOLOMON Choosing Friend Wife DONT FORGET! Obvious Observations PEACE AT LAST! Nuff sed.

Say, Bo! friend Roscoe of the Simmons hinge is some pumpkin, ch? If he doesn't dodge real fast, the race will lasso him when they get ready to choose a new general. "The H. C. L. will be with us for several years yet," say the wise guys, Gosh, we never were hurt till then. Plain Mr. Bill Hohenzollern should draw a blue line under the first phrase of Hosea 8:7. If he had done it before his partnership mitt God would not have gone bankrupt. Everybody wonders, "When will the boys come home?" We don't know when they will come, but uthe will be a hot time in the old towns when they hit the gravel. Buddy, there's no two ways about it. The Monitor is putting Omaha on the map. Don't think you will wear out your welcome, Roscoe. Our mitt is out any old time and the latch key on the door stays loose. A friend informed us that he found eleven eggs under his porch and felt richer than the guy who found Golconda. So would we. Thanking you for your courteous snoozes, we will now toddle down Main street and sing the blues to the rent man. CHILDREN OF THE SUN A TEXT BOOK A letter from New York was received last week and informed The Hamitic League of the World that George Wells Parker's book, "The Children of the Sun," had been introduced as a text book into the parochial schools of New York City and that it will be adopted for study by the Sunday schools of that city. Interest is being awakened throughout the country and letters are coming from all parts for information. Steps have already been taken to introduce the work into Africa and other distant parts of the world where Colored populations are large. A REPUBLICAN DAILY'S ANSWER TO DISFRANCHISEMENT A correspondent asks if there is no way in which the southern states can be compelled to adopt the universal suffrage, the same as in the north. Not so long as the states have the fundamental right of regulating the ballot. General terms of the federal constitution are ostensibly complied with throughout teh south, but peculiar provisions have been adopted to defeat the spirit of the law. In most of the offending states an educational or property qualification is sufficient to withhold the vote from a large proportion of the otherwise legally fitted voters. In various ways the voting privilege is restricted, and none of these is likely to be abandoned unless a more efficient substitute can be provided, so long as the existing oligarchy continues to rule in that section. The change will come when the democratic leaders of the south become ashamed of their present tactics, and not before. This was clipped from the Omaha Daily Bee. Can you beat it? "When the democratic leaders of the south become ashamed." Gosh! Is that what the republican party thinks about it? CLERKS TO BE APPOINTED Washington, D.

The American Negro has no need to apologize. He has a noble record to maintain. He is not asking the American white man to take him into his parlor. He is not trying 'o pull him cown. He is simply saying to him, 'Go up higher on the ladder, so that I may stand upon the rung upon which you now stand.' "The Negro American is standing by the side of the American white man in this great conflict to win liberty for the world that he may share therein. He is fighting by his side on the blood-stained fields of France, for milk for the white babies of Belgium, knowing that when the American white man returns to the United States he who nobly fought for milk for the white babies of Belgium cannot and will not withhold mercy from the black babies of Dixie." It is by such thrusts as this that Colonel Simmons drives home truths that America needs without giving offense. "When the war broke out the Germans said, 'Why are you Negroes so eager to fight for America? Don't you know that the white people of America despise, abuse and mistreat you?' I replied, sepaking for my people, 'Yes, I know it; but we don't want you to butt into our family affairs. I'll settle him.'" He told with great effectiveness of how the government could protect Austrians and yet with a wonderful inconsistency failed to protect its native-born citizens, and said that this would not and could not always be. He told of how loyalty Negroes are subscribing for Liberty bonds and war savings stamps, and yet are compelled to ride in Jim Crow cars. He said he saw a Mississippi Negro give his check for $35,000 for the fourth Liberty loan and then ride home in a dirty Jim Crow car, and then asked with dramatic earnestness, "Do you think that America, the greatest country on earth, is going to continue to reward such loyalty and devotion after this manner when the justice loving white man comes to himself?" He riddled with scorn the claim that Germany is the home of science, art, culture and greatness. He showed how that the telegraph, the telephone, the submarine and scores of other inventions were the product of the white American's brain. And then with one of his flashes of wit he said: "And where do you find people interpreting the religion of the Master and practising it—in Germany? No, in America. You find the true interpreter of the religion of the Master not your German, but the American Negro. And keep on practising it and in growing in all things that make for righteousness, and eventually we will come into our own under Old Glory, which, despite many shortcomings, has done much for us and made us all that we are and will be. Patience and duty mark the pathway of our racial and national advancement. PEACE AND THE COLORED AMERICAN By the Rev. Geo, Gilbert Walker, M. A. Galveston, Texas. THE Colored American is looking forward with longing and supreme interest to the end of the war and the conclusion of peace. The end of the war will mean the ceasing of the horrors and bloodshed which have burdened and sickened the world. It will mean the putting down of the cause of it all, and the final routing of the menace to free institutions. The end of the war will mean the triumph of those principles of democracy and justice for which the allies are contending, and the actualization of which will mean the salvation of mankind. The Colored American has placed upon the altar of liberty his wealth, his labor and his life. The issues are world issues, issues of humanity; and therefore they are his issues. When the ruthless menace to justice and democracy shall have been rendered impotent forever, when the great war for human rights shall have ceased, when peace shall have come, the Colored American believes that for him, as well as for all the world beside, will begin a new era of a renewal and an imperative emphasis of the things for which he so anxiously yearns, and for which he has contended so long and ceaselessly. The democratic imperatives of justice, liberty, opportunity, will find emphasis in the new alignment of relationship of the races in this country. We, in the new era, will discover the actualization of positive and practical Americanism. What are some of the things which will come to pass in the new regime? They are not new things. They are not new ideas or principles. They are practical and positive applications of those things which history and experience and common sense have BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. T. A. Taggart, Pastor.

Brother Jackson and a number of his members of the Tabernacle Baptist church in Council Bluffs worshipped with us Sunday night. We were glad to have them with us and hone they will come again. The members of Bethel Baptist church and the Ancient Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem presented the pastor with a neat little purse on his second anniversary. A goodly number answered the "go-to-church" call last Sunday, both morning and evening. There were two good sermons by the pastor. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. both had proved to be absolutely necessary to the happiness and progress of mankind. The constitutional rights and privileges of citizenship can no longer be withheld from citizens of this country. The new democracy makes that imperative. The right to share personally in the government of, by, and for the people, is a mandatory right of free institutions. For the principles of free political institutions the United States is laying down its all. The American nation is contending that the door of opportunity shall not be closed in the face of any of mankind. The chance to live, and to live well and in security shall be accorded every American. Equal opportunity in the spheres of labor, commerce and general living—practical and positive opportunity—is at the foundation of national progress and well-being. A greater and more glorious spirit of sympathy and confidence is growing and shall continue to grow between the Colored and the white American. We are beginning to understand each other and to believe in each other as never before. We are beginning to have faith in each others integrity and manhood, of the things which make men worth while, we are coming to see that each of us has a fair share. In the realms of labor, commerce, education, on the battle fields, and in the things of sacrifice and humanity, we are realizing that the white American and the Colored American each participate successfully and adequately. We are learning team work in life. We are learning to respect each other, to trust each other, to co-operate in the things which make for national development, righteousness and power. We are bringing things from the clouds to the ground; we are taking them from the realm of theory and doctrine into the field of practice and utility. We are making them work. We are demanding and realizing a pragmatic democracy, a living, doing, experiential democracy. With the dawning of the new era comes an understanding, a new determination; an understanding of the grandeur and holiness of American ideals; a determination to make them true for all men, black and white alike. Washington, D. C., Nov. 14.—Announcement is made that a number of Colored physicians, who have been serving as privates in the military service, have been given commissions as lieutenants in the army medical corps and have been assigned to active duty in several of the Colored schools where units of the students' army training corps are established and young Colored men are receiving instructions in collegiate and vocational branches, in connection with their training in military science and tactics.

Epidemic Probably Not Spanish In Origin—Germ Still Unknown—People Should Guard Against "Droplet Infection"—Surgeon General Blue Makes Authoritative Statement. Washington, D. C.—(Special).—Although King Alfonso of Spain was one of the victims of the influenza epidemic in 1893 and again this summer, Spanish authorities repudiate any claim to influenza as a "Spanish" disease. If the people of this country do not take care the epidemic will become so widespread throughout the United States that soon we shall hear the disease called "American" influenza. In response to a request for definite information concerning Spanish influenza, Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service has authorized the following official interview: What Is Spanish Influenza? Is it something new? Does it come from Spain? "The disease now occurring in this country and called 'Spanish Influenza' resembles a very contagious kind of 'cold', accompanied by fever, pains Coughs and Sneezes Spread Diseases As Dangerous as Poison Gas Shells in the head, eyes, ears, back or other parts of the body and a feeling of severe sickness. In most of the cases the symptoms disappear after three or four days, the patient then rapidly recovering. Some of the patients, however, develop pneumonia, or inflammation of the ear, or meningitis, and many of these complicated cases die. Whether this so-called 'Spanish' influenza is identical with the epidemics of influenza of earlier years is not yet known. "Epidemics of Influenza have visited this country since 1647. It is interesting to know that this first epidemic was brought here from Valencia, Spain. Since that time there have been numerous epidemics of the disease. In 1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influenza, starting somewhere in the Orient, spread first to Russia and thence over practically the entire civilized world. Three years later there was another flare-up of the disease. Both times the epidemic spread widely over the United States. "Although the present epidemic is called 'Spanish influenza,' there is no reason to believe that it originated in Spain. Some writers who have studied the question believe that the epidemic came from the Orient and they call attention to the fact that the Germans mention the disease as occurring along the eastern front in the summer and fall of 1917." How can "Spanish Influenza" be recognized? "There is as yet no certain way in which a single case of 'Spanish influenza' can be recognized. On the other hand, recognition is easy where there is a group of cases. In contrast to the outbreaks of ordinary coughs and colds, which usually occur in the cold months, epidemics of influenza may occur at any season of the year. Thus the present epidemic raged most intensely in Europe in May, June and July. Moreover, in the case of ordinary colds, the general symptoms (fever, pain, depression) are by no means as severe or as sudden in their onset as they are in influenza. Finally, ordinary colds do not spread through the community so rapidly or so extensively as does influenza. "In most cases a person taken sick with influenza feels sick rather suddenly. He feels weak, has pains in the eyes, ears, head or back, and may be sore all over. Many patients feel dizzy, some vomit. Most of the patients complain of feeling chilly, and with this comes a fever in which the temperature rises to 100 to 104. In most cases the pulse remains relatively slow. "In appearance one is struck by the fact that the patient looks sick. His eyes and the inner side of his eyelids may be slightly 'bloodshot,' or 'congested,' as the doctors say. There may be running from the nose, or there may be some cough. These signs of a cold may not be marked; nevertheless the patient looks and feels very sick. "In addition to the appearance and the symptoms as already described, examination of the patient's blood may aid the physician in recognizing 'Spanish influenza,' for it has been found THE MONITOR that in this disease the number of white corpuscles shows little or no increase above the normal. It is possible that the laboratory investigations now being made through the National Research Council and the United States Hygienic Laboratory will furnish a more certain way in which individual cases of this disease can be recognized." What is the course of the disease? Do people die of it? "Ordinarily, the fever lasts from three to four days and the patient recovers. But while the proportion of deaths in the present epidemic has generally been low, in some places the outbreak has been severe and deaths have been numerous. When death occurs it is usually the result of a complication." What causes the disease and how is it spread? "Bacteriologists who have studied in fluenza epidemics in the past have found in many of the cases a very small rod-shaped germ called, after its discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other cases of apparently the same kind of disease there were found pneumococci, the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still others have been caused by streptococci, and by others germs with long names. "No matter what particular kind of germ causes the epidemic, it is now believed that influenza is always spread from person to person, the germs being carried with the air along with the very small droplets of mucus, expelled by coughing or sneezing, forceful talking, and the like by one who already has the germs of the disease. They may also be carried about in the air in the form of dust_coming from dried mucus, from coughing and sneezing, or from careless people who split on the floor and on the sidewalk. As in most other catching diseases, a person who has only a mild attack of the disease himself may give a very severe attack to others." What should be done by those who catch the disease? "It is very important that every person who becomes sick with influenza should go home at once and go to bed. This will help keep away dangerous complications and will, at the same time, keep the patient from scattering the disease far and wide. It is highly desirable that no one be allowed to sleep in the same room with the patient. In fact, no one but the nurse should be allowed in the room. "If there is cough and sputum or running of the eyes and nose, care should be taken that all such discharges are collected on bits of gauze or rag or paper napkins and burned. If the patient complains of fever and headache, he should be given water to drink, a cold compress to the forehead and a light sponge. Only such medicine should be given as is prescribed by the doctor. It is foolish to ask the drugist to prescribe and may be dangerous to take the so-called 'safe, sure and harmless' remedies advertised by patent medicine manufacturers. "If the patient is so situated that he can be attended only by some one who must also look after others in the family, it is advisable that such attendant wear a wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the sick room and slip this off when leaving to look after the others. "Nurses and attendants will do well to guard against breathing in dangerous disease germs by wearing a simple fold of gauze or mask while near the patient." Will a person who has had influenza before catch the disease again? "It is well known that an attack of menSES or scarlet fever or smallpox usually protects a person against another attack of the same disease. This appears not to be true of 'Spanish influenza.' According to newspaper reports the King of Spain suffered an attack of influenza during the epiJemic thirty years ago, and was again stricken during the recent outbreak in Spain." How can one guard against influenza? "In guarding against disease of all kinds, it is important that the body be kept strong and able to fight off disease germs. This can be done by having a proper proportion of work, play and rest, by keeping the body well clothed, and by eating sufficient wholesome and properly selected food. In connection with diet, it is well to remember that milk is one of the best all-around foods obtainable for adults as well as children. So far as a disease like influenza is concerned, health authorities everywhere recognize the very close relation between its spread and overcrowded homes. While it is not always possible, especially in times like the present, to avoid such overcrowding, people should consider the health danger and make every effort to reduce the home overcrowding to a minimum. The value of fresh air through open windows cannot be over emphasized. "When crowding is unavoidable, as in street cars, care should be taken to keep the face so turned as not to inhale directly the air breathed out by another person. "It is especially important to beware of the person who coughs or sneezees without covering his mouth and nose. It also follows that one should keep out of crowds and stuff places as much as possible, keep homes, offices and workshops well armed, spend some time out of doors each day, walk to work if at all practicable—in short, make every possible effort to breathe as much pure air as possible. "In all health matters follow the advice of your doctor and obey the regulations of your local and state health officers." "Cover up each cough and sneeze, If you don't you'll spread disease." Lincoln News The return of peace to a war-torn world was welcomed in Lincoln Monday afternoon with a demonstration in which the entire city and all its suburbs joined. Business was entirely suspended and every one either joined the monster parade, which wound through the downtown streets, or viewed the procession from some point of vantage. But whether marching or looking on, all took part in the noise-making, which was one of the big features of the demonstration. Never in the history of Lincoln has there been a parade which approached that of Monday in size nor was there ever such a manifestation of enthusiasm upon the part of the multitude. Notwithstanding the fact that the marchers walked from six to ten abreast and stepped along at a lively gait most of the time, it took the parade nearly two hours to pass a given point. One feature of the parade which attracted much attention was the marching of the students from the different camps at the university. They were greeted with cheers and the clapping of hands by the thousands who thronged the sidewalks and portions of the streets not taken up by the marchers. Employees of the Burlington made up a large part of the procession. The men and women of the Havelock shop came to Lincoln to celebrate, carrying flags and banners. The plight of William Hohenzollern appealed to the sense of humor of many of the demonstrators. Half a dozen figures representing the late kaiser were hauled through the streets, the effigy in eaah case being suspended by the neck. Many of the large business and manufacturing firms were represented in the procession. The employes of these marched and carried banners giving the name of the firm represented. All Lincoln was divided into two classes, those who marched and those who watched. For nearly two hours the almost countless crowd of soldiers, boy scouts, veterans of 1861 and 1898, Red Cross workers, school children, employees of the various manufacturing plants, business people and members of all the patriotic organizations poured down O street. The Lincoln police force led the parade, followed by the boys of '61 and the boys of '98, carrying all the flags used by the country from colonial times until the adoption of the Stars and Stripes. The S. A. T. C. and N. A. T. C. were commanded by Captain MacIvor. Thirty members of the motor corps, led by Captain Helene Mitchell, opened the division formed by the Red Cross workers. Two trained Red Cross dogs and a hundred canteen and surgical dressing workers, fifty workers in the Colored women's auxiliary and the Red Cross salvage auto completed the section. Following this section were the school children, which included all the schools in the city; the high school band, football team, teachers and the Colored and white citizens. The celebration extended into the night. The state house lawn was the stage for the evening's entertainment, where an open-air entertainment was participated in by the hundreds of people that were present. The presiding elder, Rev. Mr. Terrell, held quarterly meeting services at the A. M. E. church Sunday, November 10. A very large attendance was present at both services. Mrs. Falling, who returned home several days ago from a two months' visit at the homes of her two sons in Minneapolis and St. Paul, now has as her guest her daughter, Mrs. Starks of Peoria, Ill. Mr. Clyde Ellington and Miss Geraldine Williams were united in marriage Friday, November 8, about 11:30 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Thomas, the bride wore her traveling South Twenty-sixth street.

This was very much appreciated on the part of the Colored citizens of Lincoln. But on account of the flu epidemic they were unable to leave Saturday as first stated, but expet to leave some time in the near future. WHITE HOODLUMS STONE HOME Chicago, Ill.—Mrs. Willie Andrews, Colored, testified in the boys' court Nov. 1 that her home at 4345 Vin-cennes avenue, had been attacked by a crowd of neighborhood youths, all white, who, angered at the coming of Colored people to the neighborhood, had thrown stones at the windows and nearly struck her young baby. Walter Barnes, identified by witnesses as the ring leader, was held to the grand jury on a charge of malicious mischief under a bond of $1,000.

We are expecting good reports from all the officers and members, as I am the district steward of this church. Mr. John Dudley and Mrs. Lillie Burns died last week. The Spanish influenza is getting better now and the schools are all open. Mrs. Jessie was visiting her sister last week at Kilgore. "I was glad when they said, let's go into the house of the Lord." I hope that things will begin to look up now. The Monitor still grows in favor in this place. The Colored school here is still closed, but the churches were allowed to hold services Sunday.

NEW YORK ELECTS TWO TO LEGISLATURE Miller, Socialist Candidate for Congress, Is Defeated, But Polls Heavy Vote. New York, Nov. 6.—Great interest was attached to the elections in New York from the fact that four Colored men were running for office—Dr. Geo. F. Miller was the socialist nominee for congress from the Twenty-first congressional district; Harold C. Miller was the republican candidate for the state senate; E. A. Johnson and J. C. Hawkins were republican candidates for the assembly. Johnson and Hawkins were elected, but the other two were defeated. Mr. Miller, the socialist candidate for congress, polled a heavy vote.

OGDEN, UTAH A BIT OF HOME WITHIN THE CAMP A BIT OF HOME WITHIN THE CAMP A long, low building of frame construction, attractively planned, with wide verandas and a homelike aspect. Outside are hanging the flags—the Stars and Stripes, which must soon be taken in as it is nearly sunset, and another flag bearing a little triangle of blue and the letters Y. W. C. A. It is a fall afternoon and the air is a bit sharp. Through the front windows of the house the woman approaching up the walk can see the cheerful glow of an open fireplace. There is the sound of a piano and some one is singing. The woman, who is slight and young and tired-looking, puts her heavy suitcase down on the walk and shifts the baby she is carrying to the other arm. She listens a minute, then picks up the luggage and walks bravely up to the front door. Some one has heard her coming and is there to meet her. Some one always is in places like this. The door is thrown open and a kind woman's voice says: "Oh, do come in and rest. Let me take the baby." The baby is passed over and the stranger, worn from a long journey, tired and sad, is given the welcome which only the Y. W. C. A. hostesses know how to give. She explains that she has come to see John before he leaves for the front. She has been saving her money for traveling expenses, and has come to surprise him. John has never seen the baby, and now maybe he never will, for she has discovered that John has just left on a two days' furlough to surprise her. Before she could get a train back to her home John's furlough will have expired and he will be on his way back to camp. The little mother does not know how to meet the situation and tears of fatigue and disappointment begin to flow. "Well, that's too bad," says the sympathetic Y. W. C. A. worker. "But cheer up. You can just stay here for a couple of days. We'll send a wire to John at the first place his train stops and tell him to take the next train back. He can enjoy his furlough here." This is done and the little family has a glorious day of it. The Young Women's Christian association has established 92 hostess houses of this character for American soldiers and sailors and their families. In this brief bulletin of news lies one of the most potent factors in the winning of this war. Our boys are fighting for their homes. The Y. W. C. A. with its hostess work in this country and in France is helping to keep the ideal of American home life constantly before the men who are protecting it. These men had to go away from their individual homes, but there is a home which follows them—a place where they can go when they are off duty and meet their families and rest. There is a room in every Y. W. C. A. hostess house with a real fireplace in it and a domestic hearth. There are chairs with cushions on them; the china is not of the iron-bound bucket variety necessary in camps; and best of all, the boys say, there are nice women to talk to. No boy in camp would hesitate to ask his mother or sister or the girl he thinks most of to meet him at a Y. W. C. A. house, for he knows that the women she will see there are of the right kind. The very fact that it is known that there is a real, honeymore place near each camp authorized by the war department and presided over by dignified and refined women, has served very largely to discourage the other type of woman and keep her away from the men she formerly preyed upon. The Y. W. C. A. houses are not established with any view to marking class lines, however, although many of the hostesses who assist led lives of greatest ease and luxury before the war. Democracy rules at the sign of the little Blue Triangle. A story is told of a great merchant's wife whose individual fortune mounts to the million mark. This lady is a member of one of the Y. W. C. A. committees, and on one occasion she was helping in the cafeteria of a hostess house at the Great Lakes naval training station. A little shopgirl who had a "day off" from her work in the basement of the great store owned by the Y. W. C. A. worker's husband, and who had come to see her sailor brother, was in a State street hurry for service. She sharply ordered the merchant's wife to "look alive with these forks, girlie." The lady addressed as "girlie" quite humbly saw to it that the pile of forks was replenished. Then she went over and talked to the girl, helped her to locate her brother and sent her away happy. The shopgirl never knew that she had been talking to her employer's wife. There are two hostess houses at the Great Lakes station, and it is a wonderful sight to see the crowds of women relatives and friends of the sailors who throng to them on the Wednesday drill afternoons. From 1,000 to 3,000 persons a day are cared for in the cafeterias, and the nurseries are full of sailor babies, whose mothers can leave them there safely while they are on the grounds. In addition to the hostess house work in this country the Y. W. C. A. has established the famous Hotel Petrograf in Paris as a center for transient women war workers overseas. There are also many foyers or recreation centers in France where girl munitions workers, signal corps girls and others are refreshed and brightened by association with the play leaders of the Y. W. C. A. who have introduced American gymnasium classes into French life. Events and Persons Events and Persons The eighth annual free Thanksgiving dinner for children will be given by the I. D.

THE RACE CATECHISM The Crusader Magazine Proposes New Teachings to Children of the Race. CLIP IT! KEEP IT! TEACH IT! Question: How do you consider yourself in relation to your race? Answer: I consider myself bound to it by a sentiment which unites all. Question: What is it? Answer: The sentiment, that the the French. We never expected any- favored by the Muses of Music, Poetry and Art, and is possessed of those qualities of courage, honor and intelligence necessary to the making of the best manhood and womanhood and the most brilliant development of the human species. Question: What are one's duties to the race? Answer: To love one's race above one's self and to further the common interests of all above the private interests of one. To cheerfully sacrifice wealth, ease, lururies, necessities and, if need be, life itself to attain for the race that greatness in arms, in commerce, in art, the three combined without which there is neither respect, honor nor security. Question: How can you further the interests of the race? Answer: By spreading race patriotism among my fellows; by unfolding else. The white American is a and the facts of the noble origin, splendid achievements and ancient cultures of the Negro race to those whom alien education has kept in ignorance of these things; by combatting the insidious, mischievous and false teachings of school histories that exalt the white man and debase the Negro, that tell of the white man's achievements but not of his ignominy while relating only that part of the Negro's story that pertains to his temporary enslavement and partial decadence; by helping race industries in preference to all others; by encouraging race enterprise and business to the ends of an ultimate creation of wealth, employment and financial strength within the race; by so carrying myself as to demand honor and respect for my race. Question: Why are you proud of your race? Answer: Because in the veins of no human being does there flow more generous blood than in our own; in the annals of the world the history of no race is more resplendent with honest, worthy glory than that of the Negro race, members of which founded the first beginning of civilization upon the banks of the Nile, developing it and extending it southward to Ethiopia and westward over the smiling Sudan to the distant Atlantic, so that the Greeks who came to learn from our fathers declared that they were "the most just men, of the favorites of the gods." TWO COLORED MEN IN ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE Madden, Who Championed Rights of Race, Re-Elected to Congress. Chicago, Nov. 7.—Despite the fact that Cook county went democratic two Colored republicans were sent to the legislature. They are S. B. Turner and A. H. Roberts. Members of the race will also be gratified to learn that Martin B. Maiden, that great defender of the rights of the race in congress, was re-elected. Rabbit Hair Supplants Wool. Rabbit hair is supplanting wool in the felt hat making industry of Australia, where there are thirty factories in operation at present making use of rabbit fur for this purpose. It is said to be superior to the finer merino, and millions of rabbit skins are made use of annually. A New York dye expert declares that "American dyes are as fast, class for class, as German dyes." Happy Thought—Write article on speed in dyes. Study the classes, those in the 2.04 class and so on. Discourage bookmaking and side bets as degrading to a noble sport. Enough to Go Around. Don't imagine that you're getting all the hard luck or all the good luck, because that never happened to anybody and never will. A Fantastical Terror "It's curious how soldier uniforms always show an influence on feminine fashions," "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "But I hope we won't keep on shortening skirts until we begin to imitate the Scottish Highlanders." THE MONITOR A Racy Item.

It maintains a student orchestra of 100 members and gives instruction on all orchestral and band instruments, as well as voice culture and dancing. Among those helping this school are Conrad C.
