Omaha Gives a Hearty Welcome to Returning Mayor GROWING. THANK YOU! $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Mayor Smith Returns and Resumes Duties The Energetic Executive Arrives in City From Florida Tuesday Morning and Immediately Takes Up His Work. PRESIDES AT MEETING OF COMMISSIONERS Not Fully Recovered From Injuries Received From Riot, But Cheerful, Optimistic and Full of Pep. MONITOR readers throughout the country will be pleased to learn that Mayor Ed P. Smith has recovered sufficiently to be back on his job. He arrived Tuesday morning and was welcomed by friends. "There won't be any slow march behind me—not yet; I'm not a dead man by a long ways, I can tell you." Such was Mayor Ed P. Smith's characteristic greeting to city officials and friends who met him at the Burlington station at 9 o'clock Tuesday morning, when he returned from a vacation enforced by the wounds received in the court house riot September 28. Twenty minutes later, by the clock, the mayor was in his chair in the council chamber, tapping the gavel to call the city commission to order. In Good Health. The mayor looked well. His face was, if anything, a trifle fuller than before his injury and his color was good. The only surface reminder of the murderous attack made upon him was a red scar, not very noticeable, above his right eye. "I'm feeling good," the mayor said, "except that I find I can't walk very far without tiring and my nerves get ragged a bit sooner than they ought to. There is something still a bit wrong with my right arm, too. I hasn't much strength and I believe the flesh is somewhat shrunken in the upper arm. But the doctors tell me that osteopathic treatment will improve that." Little Comment. With the explanation that he has read scarcely any newspapers since the riot, the mayor declined consistently to comment on pending questions before the city commission, including the organization of the police department. "I received a copy of the new law removing the protection of civil service from the police," he said. "It strikes me that that is a power that should be used very carefully. I'm not in favor of dismissing a policeman just because I don't like the color of his hair." Nothing But Rest. "I've been completely away from everything, done nothing but rest," the mayor said later in the morning. "I've simply slept and eaten and kept outdoors all that I could. Florida has wonderfully fine paved roads—300 miles of them in the county I was in—and I made use of them. I had invitations to speak at the Tampa Commercial club and one or two other places, but I didn't do it. I wanted to get well and get back home. "I suspect a conspiracy to keep me uninformed of things in Omaha. All the time I was in the hospital I didn't see an Omaha paper. I asked my folks to put a file in the trunk, so that I could read them down south, but they didn't do it. My son, in Florida, is a World-Herald subscriber, but his subscription ran out the day I got there. He sent in a renewal and the paper started coming two days before I left. So, except for an occasional paper I have seen in cities en route, I don't know much about what has happened." Mayor Smith was applauded when he appeared at the Chamber of Commerce for lunch. A burst of hand-clapping greeted him upon his arrival. He was invited to join the executive committee in its room, and when he arose to go, accepting the invitation, there was another round of applause. PROMINENT SPEAKERS PRES- ENT AT HARLEM OPENING New York.—The Harlem branch of the Y. M. C. A., located in W. 135th street, erected at a cost of $375,000, celebrated its opening with a notable program. The program brought some of the most prominent Y. M. C. A. officials of the country, who assisted officially in dedicating the building and set it apart for work among colored men of this city. THE MONITOR Foreign Minister Declares that the Flowery Kingdom Will Insist on Recognition in League of Nations Covenant. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION INTOLERABLE HANDICAP Japanese Soldiers Cannot Fight Side by Side With Allied Forces While Regarded and Treated as Inferiors. TOKIO, Oct. 1.—Viscount Uchida, foreign minister of Japan, in an interview recently given out, declared that Japan would insist upon recognition of race equality in the league of nations. "Under the league of nations, the Japanese will be pledged to fight side by side with the soldiers of other nations," said the viscount. "How can we expect them to do that, if they know that in the countries from which those other soldiers come, Japanese are discriminated against and treated as inferiors? "But that does not mean immigration primarily; it does not necessarily involve the question of immigration. I think the proposition submitted by the Japanese delegates at the peace conference, for the recognition of race equality, has been misunderstood. Immigration we admit to be a matter at times for internal determination. But we insist that Japanese everywhere within the countries of the league be given the treatment accorded to other nationals. Gentlemen's Agreement Stands. "As to the question of immigration of Japanese to the United States, that is not a practical subject now. The so-called 'gentlemen's agreement' stands and will continue to be observed in good faith by Japan." Viscount Uchida asserted that Japan still adheres to the open door policy in China, and said that in all the regions which might be considered as being Japanese spheres of influence, there would be no discrimination against nationals of other countries. MOTORS FROM DETROIT TO OMAHA THE Rev. John Albert Williams, who attended the General Convention of the Episcopal Church, which met in his old home, Detroit, Mich., returned home Sunday, morning, accompanied by his nephews, Bert E. Williams and Charles H. Campbell of Detroit. They made the trip overland in Mr. Bert E. Williams' car, stopping at Chicago, Davenport, Muscatine and other points en route. Mr. Williams is the senior member of the successful real estate firm of Williams & Johnson, who have just opened a large addition to the city of Detroit known as the Liberty Farm acres. Mr. Campbell is associated with them in this thriving business. Both gentlemen are most favorably impressed with Omaha. They are stopping with the former's father Henry W. Williams, 2017 North Twenty-fourth street, and expect to leave for Detroit Saturday. REFUSES TO AID IN ATTEMPT TO SEGREGATE IN LIB- BRARY OF CONGRESS Robert A. Thompson Resigns Rather Than Lend Himself to Iniquitous System. Washington, D. C.—Robt. A. Thompson, of Westfield, N. J., a dental student of Howard university, resigned as a waiter last Thursday at the Library of Congress cafe because means of "segregation" were being instituted by the proprietress. Up to this time no color line was taken after a consultation had been held by the proprietress of the cafe with her employees, at which time she attempted to eliminate the "presence of colored guests" by instructions to waiters.

THE NEGRO'S GIFT TO AMERICAN ART Emotional Life of This Group Rich Mine for Original American Contribution to World's Art. GREENSBORO, N. C., Nov. 5. There is a southern editor who endeavors to give serious concern to the part played by the Negro in life of this section. The following expression from the Greensboro News, concerning the dialect of the Negro, is of unquestioned interest and particularly that part which says, "And back of it all is the shadow of tragedy that he has brought with him, which sooner or later some artist, whether painter, musician, dramatist, poet, or novelist will use for a creation of genius that will sweep the world." Read it all. "We sincerely hope," remarks the Raleigh Biblical Recorder, "that the Negro dialect will not perish from the earth. There is a peculiar charm about it that appeals to every southerner, especially to those who knew the old-time plantation Negro." snark and other extinct animals that never existed. But dialect writers may be as diversified almost as the autumn leaves, and wet paint, each, the thing as he sees it, and paint it truly; for the Negro himself is coming to be almost infinite in his variety. America is only just getting to be artistically independent enough to appreciate the Negro. Our humorists—always pioneer spirits—were the first to discover the richness of the field. Harris and McNeill did much to establish the Negro in literature; Dickson and Cohen are further strengthening their work. Presently, the tragedians will follow, and somebody will do magnificently what Thomas Dixon did crudely. Foster found the first distinctively American music in Negro folk songs, and to this day the only music that could not by any possibility have been written anywhere else than in America is that in which the Negro's influence is predominant. Irving Berlin is more typically American than MacDowell. Even as extreme a development of the white man's civilization as that astonishing school of True. But the old-time plantation Negro has disappeared. How should his speech be preserved? The grandson of Uncle Remus talks as different a language—not the English or the universities, to be sure, but not less far from that from the speech that Harris set down. By its very nature, any dialect must change with the changing fortunes of the people who speak it; and no other race has ever been subjected within 50 years to as sudden and tremendous a change in status as the American Negro. His speech must necessarily undergo profound modifications, and what was true dialect 20 years ago sounds strangely in the ears of those who know the Negro of today. "Joel Chandler Harris and John Charles McNeill," continues the Recorder, were authorities on Negro dialect." True again. But the dialect of McNeill is radically different from that of Harris. The dialect written by Haris Dickson differs from both; and that of Octavus Ray Cohen is yet another species. Yet we hold to the belief that Dickson and Cohen are as true to life as Harris or McNeill. The fact is that Uncle Remus spoke a different language from that used by Blue-Gum Ander, of the Scotland county church militant, or by Ole Reliable, of the Mississippi levees, or by Florian Slappey, the leader of high society of Birmingham. The grievous creation of would-be dialect writers of northern birth, we lay aside, along with the booijum and snark and other extinct animals that never existed. But dialect writers may be as diversified almost as the autumn leaves, and wet paint, each, the thing as he sees it, and paint it truly; for the Negro himself is coming to be almost infinite in his variety. America is only just getting to be artistically independent enough to appreciate the Negro. Our humorists—always pioneer spirits—were the first to discover the richness of the field. Harris and McNeill did much to establish the Negro in literature; Dickson and Cohen are further strengthening their work. Presently, the tragedians will follow, and somebody will do magnificently what Thomas Dixon did crudely. Foster found the first distinctively American music in Negro folk songs, and to this day the only music that could not by any possibility have been written anywhere else in America is that in which the Negro's influence is predominant. Irving Berlin is more typically American than MacDowell. Even as extreme a development of the white man's civilization as that astonishing school of writers who call themselves the "new" poets has not been altogether free from his influence. One of Vachel Lindsey's finest efforts is his suite of poems on the Negro. To give the devil his due, American art owes to the black man its best prospect for developing individually, of developing greatness. He has given our music a strange, new theory that it doesn't know what to make of it, but that is certainly unlike any other music on earth. He has given our literature a picturesqueness that it could never have borrowed successfully. He has given our stage a comic foil so excellent that it has been well-nigh ruined by abuse. And back of it all is the shadow of tragedy that he has brought with him, which sooner or later some artist, whether painter, musician, dramatist, poet, or novelist, will use for a creation of genius that will sweep the world. That of course, all lies in the future; but already we are deeply in his debt, for already he has given us the blessed gift of laughter. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 4.—The Colored Y. M. C. A. campaign to raise $5,000 for extension of work among colored people of Norfolk, was launched with a meeting in the lobby of the association building on Jueen street. An interesting program was carried out after which first reports of campaign workers showed a total of $602 had been raised, of which $308.50 was in cash. Vol. V. No.18 (Whole No.227) --- NOTED AUTHOR SPEAKS OUT AGAINST NATIONAL EVIL Dorothy Canfield Fisher Says Lynchings Discredit United States in Europe. NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 5.—The United States is discredited and disgraced in Europe by lynchings, according to a letter written by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, the novelist, and made made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mrs. Fisher, writing to Senator Dillingham in favor of congressional investigation of lynching, says that in her three years in France she observed "the astonished, amazed abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe." Her letter follows; Arlington, Vt., October 24, 1919. My Dear Senator Dillingham: I am writing you as a Vermonter much interested in the Negro question to beg you to use all your influence for a favorable action on the Curtis resolution calling for an investigation of lynching and mob violence. I have no need to say anything to you, of course, about the horrible wrongs involved in letting lynching go on, as you must know more about that than we do, and must feel quite as deeply as all the rest of the Vermonters who are looking anxiously for your action in the matter. But as one just returned from three years in France, I can perhaps present to you from much first hand experience, some idea of the astonished, amazed, abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe. The whole nation is discredited and disgraced and every word we say about human rights and civilization is laughed at by Europeans who know of the lynching evil in our country. It would to some extent redeem our national honor—even before the federal investigation could actually accomplish anything, to have it known that we took the disgrace seriously enough to take national action about it. With the keenest hope that you may be instrumental and Vermont, through you, in helping put an end to this national horror, I am, sincerely yours, (Signed) Dorothy Canfield Fisher.

Arkansas Jury Convicts Six in Eight Minutes Remarkable Speed Made in the Trials of Negroes Accused of Rioting in Phillips County—Six to be Electrocuted. MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED INDICTMENTS On the Face of the Associated Press Reports the Accused Were Given no Defense—Monitor Awaits Facts From Special Correspondent. HELENA, Ark., Nov. 4.—Rapid progress marked the trials of cases growing out of the recent race disturbances south of this city, one Negro being convicted of first degree murder after eight minutes' deliberation by a circuit court jury and five others receiving a verdict of guilty to a similar charge, all at the same time, after the jurymen had been out seven minutes. The verdict means electrocution for the six Negroes. In the first of the two cases tried, that of Frank Hicks, several witnesses for the state testified they saw Hicks fire the shots the morning of October 1, which resulted in the death of Clinton Lee, an ex-soldier of this city. The defense announced it had no witnesses, argument was waived, the jury was instructed and in eight minutes a verdict was returned. Defendants in the second case were Frank Moore, Ed Hicks, J. E. Knox, Paul Hall and Ed Coleman, charged jointly with the murder of Lee. Witnesses for the state testified that Moore, Knox and Hicks acted as leaders in the incident, arguments for a verdict of second degree murder were presented by counsel appointed for the defense. instructions were given the jury and a verdict of first degree murder was returned in seven minutes. Indictments have been brought against 122 persons, mostly Negroes, as a result of the disorders. BISHOP THIRKIELD ADVOCATES NEGRO METHODIST BISHOPS Opposes Separation in Church as Tending to Unite Colored Races All Over World in Color War. (By Associated Negro Press.) BOSTON, MASS., Nov. 5.—Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, of New Orleans, speaking at the monthly meeting of the Boston Methodist Social Union at Hamilton Hall, People's Temple, declared that if the American Negro is cast from the church and ostracised from society a gigantic world war between the black and white races will result. As a means of bringing the Negro race into closer relationship with the Anglo-Saxons, he advocated the election of Negro Methodist bishops. "There are 350,000 colored people in our church," he continued. "That would be contrary to the New Testament; it would mean a race church, and we would forget the teachings of Jesus Christ. We know full well that the colored races tend to unite and imagine the terrible calamity which would ensue if all the colored races in the world joined." PINEY WOOD SCHOOL RECEIVES FUND AND AUTOMOBILE Meritorious Work of Founder Lawrence K. Jones Rewarded—Iowans Present Gift. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 5.—A fund of $1,000 and an automobile for the Piney Woods Country Life School at Braxton, Miss., was presented to Prof. Laurence C. Jones, founder of the school, at a meeting held recently at St. Paul's A. M. F. church here. The gift was presented by Capt. Asa Turner, a civil war veteran, who collected the contributions that made up the fund. Other speakers at the meeting were Sergt. Neadom Roberts, the world war hero; Hon. Nate Kendall, candidate for governor of Iowa, and Hon. Harvey Ingham, editor of the Des Moines Register. Prof. Jones is an Iowa product and graduated from the State University of Iowa. The property of the Piney Woods school is estimated to be worth $75,000. Men are never so ridiculous from the qualities which really belong to them as from those they pretend to possess. A Stitch in Time. W.S.S. LR. SAMISR. SHARKS OUT OF WATER Government Puts Two of Them In Penitentiary for Shady Stock Dealing. New schemes for inducing the investing public to part with its savings, its Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps in exchange for stocks of speculative or doubtful value constantly are being developed. One of the latest of these was disclosed recently in the trial of Ellsworth J. Green and his son, E. H. Green, at Oklahoma City. This particular scheme was the means of landing the Greens in Leavenworth Prison for five-year terms, but not until many hundreds of investors lost their savings. The Greens, through the Great Western Guarantee Investment Company of Oklahoma City, promoted five oil companies. The original sales price of the stock in these companies was $1.00 a share, but by resale agreement purchasers were guaranteed that the Great Western Company as fiscal agent would resell the stock if desired at the end of six months to net the investor $2.00 a share or a profit of 100 per cent. As the date to fulfill this agreement drew near, stockholders were advised that the price of the stock had reached $5.00 a share. Naturally if they came to believe the stock was worth $5.00 they declined to accept the opportunity to sell for $2.00. For a time stock salesmen reaped rich commissions, but finally rumors that the reports were misleading began to spread. At a company banquet at Oklahoma City it was charged that the Greens attempted to sell out to the salesmen. At this point the government stepped in, arrested the promoters and began to unravel evidence which finally landed the Greens in prison on the charge of using the mails to defraud. Now the stockholders are attempting to save what is left of the assets of the companies. Promises of profits of 100 to 500 percent made by stock promoters seldom become realities. The country is being flooded with wild cat stocks by unscrupulous investors. The resale plan of the Greens' is only one of the many varieties of bait used. Any of these promoters are willing and anxious to take Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates in exchange for their bits of paper. They are perfectly willing to give promise of profits for the sure payment guaranteed by the federal government. Investments in government saving securities and Liberty Bonds are safe, sure and profitable. The investor not only is guaranteed against loss, but he is assured that money so invested will go toward solving the economic problems with which all are faced and in making the country greater and more prosperous instead of seeing his savings go to provide luxuries and an easy living for dishonest promoters. NO FRIEND OF PROFITEER. Progressive Merchants Realize Danger in Excessive Prices. Progressive retail merchants are coming to recognize that the prosperity of the merchant is thoroughly connected with the prosperity of his customers and that the success of the profiteer is no less a blow to the honest merchant than to the suffering purchaser. In a recent letter to the public, Edward A. MacLean, secretary of the Oregon Retail Merchants Association, said: "So long as the free buying spirit of the American public exists, mayors and governors can fuss and fume and Congress can enact what it pleases. but high prices will continue. It is my opinion that the purchase of government securities such as War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates instead of merchandise will hasten the overthrow of the 'high cost of living. "Here is the point—it is high time that the American people were brought to realize that the responsibility for the high cost of living is not a responsibility of Congress or any other agency. Unless the American people, themselves, quit supporting high prices, they can right now make up their minds to pay high prices for some time to come." This attitude is thoroughly endorsed by the Western bankers. The Wells Fargo Nevada National Bank of San Francisco in a recent communication to its clients declared people should practice thrift, shop for lower prices, and utilize Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps as investments for their savings. After outlining some of the causes for the high cost of living, and government action to offset this, the bank says: "What we may look and hope for as the main effect of this Governmental action is an awakening of the Nation to more of a natural reaction against paying high prices. "People should take pains to avoid paying them by shopping for lower prices, by reducing their consumption, practicing thrift, utilizing for their savings Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and other opportunities for giltage investment now open to them. "This attitude will constitute a strong influence in lowering prices, down to the point at least necessitated by basic conditions, and, these latter conditions being fundamental, must be left to work themselves out. CELEBRATE ARMISTICE DAY. Tenth District Asked to "Go Over the Top" Again for W. S. S. "Going over the top," came to be a wartime habit in the United States just as it did with the doughboys in France. It is a hard habit to curb and in order to keep in practice the Savings Organization of the Tenth Federal Reserve District has launched a campaign which will give each community an opportunity to "go over" again on Armistice Day and thereby celebrate a year of peace. Each community is given a very small quota through its banks, and investors are being urged to order from $100 to $1,000 in new Savings Certificates which bear the same interest and privileges as the War Savings Stamps, recognized by investors as the best security offered. The campaign is intended, not only to raise a few millions for the government, but to give individuals an opportunity to receive a maximum return on small amounts of savings. Small investors may help subscribe the quota by purchasing War Savings Stamps at any postoffice. HER SAVINGS DIDN'T WORK. Missouri Woman's Hoard Might Have Earned $500 a year. When relatives came to straighten up the affairs of the late Mrs. A. McGuire of Kirksville, Mo, they discovered $11,000 in currency and $2,000 in gold hidden in old almanacs, books and under rugs and mattresses. The money had performed no service for Mrs. McGuire and probably had been idle for years. Invested in Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps and Savings Certificates, it would now be yielding over $500 a year to Mrs. McGuire's heirs and would aid to stimulate production, increase employment and reduce the high cost of living. Idle money is no less an economic loss to the Nation than idle workers would be.

WAYS OF WEARING THE HAIR Coiffures Are Elaborate, Receiving Much Attention; Many and Widely Differing Varieties. Styles in hair dressing change from season to season just as surely as do styles in costumes and dresses. Artists have declared from time immemorial that hair was "woman's crowning glory," but some women do not treat their hair as if it were a glory. They have seemed to take pleasure in twisting their locks from nature's course, thinning them and torturing them by artificial waving. The fancy that developed about a year ago, of cutting the hair short, may be responsible for the adoption of the mode of elaborately ornamented coif furs for evening this winter. At the present moment much attention is given to these elaborate coif fures, and there are many and widely different varieties. The influence of the Orient is less marked than in recent seasons, and many of these coif fures take their inspiration from the folk costumes of France and neighboring countries. Flowers worn in Spanish fashion, peasant headdress, Dutch diaemds, and the tulle streamers of Boulogne are high in favor. Among the ornaments favored by the coif fures of this season are cloth of Patronize the St 14th and D The Monitor recommends its a dating service can be found here.

OLD-STYLE PETTICOAT BACK Garment More Satisfactory Returns With Wider and Fuller Skirts for Winter. Since skirts have been so very narrow petticoats have received much attention. Naturally, with these extraordinarily narrow skirts it was found that the petticoat came in evidence whenever the wearer sat down; it did not seem to matter how short it was. At once a new skirt was brought out, a mere sheath of satin in silk, fastening onto an elastic band, and snapping into place in front rather than in the back as heretofore. This skirt was left untrimmed except by a deep hem put in with machine hemsstitching. It was made of silk or satin and could be bought in almost every color. The fashionable draped skirts which are made on the wearer by wrapping the material around the figure and then sewing it together necessitated the creation of the sort of underneath skirt described. Fortunately the skirts of winter are slightly wider and fuller, and we can at least wear regulation petticoats again. None are lovelier than the silk jerseys with their smoothly fitting lines and their lovely flouces of plaid knife plaited and stitched into place. These, too, come in every color and are durable.

GREGG CALLS ATTENTION TO INCREASE OF NEGRO'S WEALTH SINCE 1866 (By Associated Negro Press.) Detroit, Mich., Nov. 5.—"Negroes like members of other advancing races are learning to do more and more things well. True, vocational training for them, therefore, must be more varied and more thorough than it has been," declared Prof. Jas. E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, before the National Urban League for Social Service among Negroes in an address on "Training for More Skilled Work." Dr. Gregg said: "Education for life is not a static term. Its meaning is constantly changing as the conditions of life change. In 1866 Negroes were conducting 2,100 business enterprises. Today they are conducting 50,000. In 1866 the accumulated wealth of American Negroes was $20,000,000. Today it is $1,110,000,000.

THE ROOSEVELT CREED BELIEVE in honesty, sincerity and the square deal; in making up one's mind what to do—and doing it. I believe in fearing God and taking one's own part. I believe in hitting the line hard when you are right. I believe in speaking softly and carrying a big stick. I believe in hard work and honest sport. I believe in a sane mind in a sane body. I believe we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. THE Monitor believes that Omaha colored citizens should have a larger representation on the police force. We believe that well-qualified men—men of intelligence, good judgment, tact, character and courage can be found to serve as policemen and detectives. The men so chosen should be sworn in with full police authority. This involves the impartial preservation of law and order; the protection of the lives and property of all citizens; the apprehension and arrest of law breakers and criminals and the discharge of such other duties—and they are numerous—as may rightfully be demanded of a public peace officer. Policemen serve the public, not special classes. Policemen, full-fledged or otherwise, for work among one class of a city's populace are anom alles and absurdities. They are just as much out of place as a fire company would be were it placed in a certain locality and given orders that it must respond to fire alarms only when certain classes of houses in that given neighborhood are on fire. It seems, however, that acting upon the advice of some colored citizen, this is the policy that the commissioner and chief of police are inaugurating with reference to the employment of colored men. Twelve men, whose names have been kept secret, have been appointed as "special officers" for ten days to work exclusively among the colored people to round up loafers, the unemployed and undesirables in order that the city may be rid of such characters. With any sincere effort to rid the community of undesirable and dangerous characters, either white or black. The Monitor is in most hearty accord. But that there is an unusual number of undesirable characters among the Negroes of Omaha, The Monitor will not for one moment admit. The effort to make it appear so is part of well-conceived plans, national in scope, to stir up strife among American citizens. The tacit admission, by a request from any source for the appointment of "special officers" for spying on them, that Negroes of this city have a large criminal element among us, is but to play into the hands of our enemies who are anxious to have this opinion prevail. We regret exceedingly that some are so shortsighted that they cannot see this. We favor the appointment of colored police officers and detectives to discharge the full duties of such officers. Omaha has no reason to apologize for the efficient services of such men as Officers Noah, George Thomas, Joseph Balleau and Harry Buford who, when assigned to detective duty, was accounted one of the shrewdest on the force. These men have conceived it their duty to apprehend all lawbreakers, white or black. Their services have been satisfactory and efficient. Why not then appoint more men of this type as permanent police officers to be included among the additional one hundred new officers which the city is having difficulty to secure? Clothe them with full authority to rid the city of undesirables of all classes. There is a vast difference between efficient police officers and stool pigeons and spies. All citizens of Omaha want intelligent and efficient police officers who will serve all classes. Stool pigeons and spies cannot add to the efficiency of the police force. Officers, please, not stool pigeons and spies. "BROWN IS CONVICTED." UNDER the above caption the following item was published on an inside page of last Sunday's World-Herald: "A jury in Judge Day's criminal court yesterday afternoon returned a verdict of guilty against Orrie Brown. 1608 Cass street, who was on trial for a statutory offense against Ellen Sundell, 7 years old, 1710 California street. The jury came to an agreement after less than an hour's deliberation." OFFICERS—NOT STOOL PIGEONS We call attention to it for a distinct purpose and that is to note the contrast between the publicity given by the press to crimes committed by white men and those of black men. The crime of which Brown was found guilty is almost too heinous to be conceived. He a man of about forty years of age, attempted to criminally assault a little golden-haired child of seven years, a mere baby. Cah one conceive of such degeneracy and bestiality! Think of it. This degenerate, however, fortunately belongs to the "superior race." He has a white face. We do not, however, charge his whole race with bestiality, because this degenerate happens to belong to it. Being white his crime was evidently considered less heinous than it would have been were his skin black. One is forced to this conclusion from the manner in which the crime at the time of its commission was treated by the daily press. No box car type headlines called attention to the fact treat a white brute had attempted to rape a baby, nor was there the slightest suggestion that the degenerate should be lynched. Nothing of the kind. I was published in a very modest way; so modest indeed that it escaped the attention of many readers who read only glaring headlines. But had this degenerate been black, his crime would have been proclaimed in headlines readable across the street, and criminal indictment in the unthinking popular mind lodged against the entire Negro race. The verdict of the jury would not have been published as a modest item, but would have been given entirely unnecessary prominence and publicity. We wonder when this policy, so manifestly unfair and unjust, shall cease. A WORD ABOUT THE MONITOR. THE Monitor is serving your interests to the best of its ability. The cost of publication is high.

The facts as therein given are authentic. They explain the situation. It comes therefore, as no surprise that advices from Helena state that six Negroes were convicted of first degree murder by a jury after eight minutes deliberation. A little over a minute for each conviction. But even that was mighty slow for "justice"—God save the mark—in Arkansas where Negroes are concerned. May God pity America if things of this kind are to be permitted to continue with impunity anywhere in this fair land. WELCOME HOME, MAYOR SMITH. THE Monitor voices the sentiments not only of its readers and constituents in this community but throughout the country when it bids cordial welcome home to Mayor Smith, who because of his fearless and just stand for law and order and the endangering of his life for their maintenance has enshrined himself in the hearts of millions. None regard him with greater affection and esteem than the people for whom we speak AIR PARKING TRAFFIC AND COUNCIL OMAHA THE MONITOR LEADING EDITORIALS OF THE DAY Bosh, Buncombe, 'Bul' 'Bull-Shevkii What is the idea of all this talk about the colored man or race desiring "social equality?" What is meant by the employment of that term? Is not the term "social equality" confused by these disciples of alarm and protectors of the public weal and welfare (most noble scions of democracy!) with the term of "social intermingling?" This stereotyped, antedeluvian and antiquated doctrine has outlived its usefulness and is more the cantankerous cavortings of "brain-cracked" spotlight seekers and sensational yellow journalists than it is the earnest and honest convictions and belief of sane and sensible men. There is a vast difference between "social equality" and "social intermingling." They are as far apart as the north pole is from the south pole. There can be no justice where equality does not exist. What the colored man demands is "social equity," "social sameness." He wants the same rights of society that other men and races enjoy; but he does not ask the association and companionship of men or women of other races. Social companionship can not be regulated by laws. If Bill Smith wants to associate with John Jones all the laws in the genius of mankind can not keep them apart. On the other hand if they do not desire each other's companionship and comraderie, no law can be enacted that will have sufficient force to compel these two men to be pals or social associates. Take both the written and unwritten law of the south relative to "social intermingling," what these apostles of alarm and exponents of force and mob-violence are wont to call "social equality," and see how recklessly it has been violated and trampled upon by men from the other side of the house. Fully 6,000,000 mulattoes out of 14,000,000 colored Americans speak louder than words that somebody is more anxious for "social intermingling" than the colored race. Throughout the south it is very difficult (and this happens quite frequently) to tell which race has a rightful claim upon some of these quadroons and octroons and in no case is the father of African descent. As soon as the colored man asks for a square and fair deal (something the south is unwilling to accord him and will not do until it has to) these monumental hypocrites and camouflagers bring out their age-worn bug-bear and bugaboo of "social equality." It has been worked so much that it now has the "wopsy." The south professes and proclaims to the world that it deplores lynch law and is putting forth an earnest effort to blot it out and as soon as colored people organize to aid in combatting it, not with force, but through the medium of combined co-operation, the cry is sent broadcast that the "niggers are organizing for social equality." And one disgusting part of the entire spectacle is that oftimes, nowadays, this old tale is started by ex-service men, who are rankling with a spirit of revenge at their colored brothers because the French people treated the latter as men, despite the subtle propaganda of the former. The Informer can now see how any man, who lays any claim to common sense, in the face of the known conditions, can assert in public print or utterance that the black man is trying or the least anxious to cross the line. But he is anxious that men of other races stay on their side of the fence and leave his wife, sisters and daughters alone and that when he protects the sanctity of his home at the hazard of his life, a lyncher's rope will not be his reward. All this journalistic diarrhoea about "radical Negro editors" and "race uplifters inciting Negroes to revolt against the white man," etc., is unadulterated and unsophisticated bosh, buncombe, "bull" and "bull-sheviki." Democracy is what the black man was told by his white brother he was fighting for in France and if that be true (which appears to the contrary) then the colored race in America is perfectly within its bounds and exercising good sense when it demands that this country become at home the exemplar of those altruistic ideals and principles she has so loudly and blatantly proclaimed to the habitable globe. When the colored man purchases a railroad ticket, paying the same first-class fare as passengers of other races and then is shunted off in a little 2x4 jim-crow car, dirty, dingy and incommodious, and feebly protests against such poor and un-American service, again the cry of "social equality" is raised. Yet in street cars and interurban cars both races are given seats in the same car and we never hear of any untoward event transpiring because of such arrangement. Consistency, thou are a jewel, a rare and almost extinct specimen of democracy and Americanism! The white southern newspapers base their viewpoints of the "social equality" scare-crow in the same manner as they do about race publications, which, by the way, seem to be causing the southern editors many sleepless nights and much concern. After failing to put a race newspaper out of business in its town, a southern city, this white newspaper recently charged that colored editors "seem to be well supplied with funds for putting forth lurid publicity." This paper had never stopped to consider that this is a new age; that a new colored man is on the scene; that he is supporting his own newspapers and making of them towers of strength to fight the battles for human rights. The colored man is becoming racially self-conscious, thanks to the world war and colored newspapers and when men begin to think, you cannot enslave them.—The Houston (Tex.) Informer. Negro ExSoldier and American Lerion Every ex-soldier should join the American Legion. This organization will rule this country the next fifty years. The south has already seen this and is preparing to spread color hatred by excluding Negro ex-soldiers who reside in southern states from any voice in the affairs of the association. This may be partly remedied by all northern Negro ex-soldiers joining the posts in their respective states. Don't form any separate posts, because it accentuates the color line, deprives you of any voice in the general policy and it plays into the hands of the Negro-haters. That's what they want you to do, because they know the Negro separate organization can have no influence outside of the Negro race. It is not what they want that counts, it is what you want that is the thing. Too long Negroes have stayed out of the affairs of the people, on the ground that "white folks don't want us in there."—Seattle Searchlight.

Editor Monitor: Having resided in Omaha from my boyhood, I believe I am in good position to both write or speak upon the moral status of the colored people of Omaha. In this connection let me say that I have had during my residence here more social, business and professional relationship with the colored people of Omaha than any other white man in this city during that time, embracing a period of 39 years that I have lived here.. And will say that without fear of successful contradiction that in proportion to the population of this city and their race, they have been more law-abiding than any other race or nationality in this city or county. Yet, if perchance through the faulty and weaknesses of the human race, to which the human family are heir, is there any cogent reason why the majority of their race should suffer and be held responsible for the acts of a few of their race any more than it would against the race or nationality of any other race residing in this community? The law-abiding, tax-paying, church going, liberty loving, patriotic colored people of Omaha constitutes 98 per cent of the colored people of this city. And when the passions and prejudices of the day shall have passed away and the enlightened judgment of the people of this community shall have been rendered, it will have been shown that the colored people of Omaha are more law-abiding, in proportion to the population, than any other race or nationality in this city. All they want is a fair show and equal justice, as guaranteed them under the constitution and laws of this state. STOP AND THINK ED F. MOREARTY, Attorney, 640 Bee Bldg. Dental Hygiene and Care of the Teeth By Dr. W. W. Peebles [Name] By Dr. Peebles. TRENCH MOUTH. (By Dr. W. W. Peebles.) Attention of the writer has recently been called to the prevalence of a dental lesion, termed in the words of the layman, Trench Mouth. While by no means a new malady, yet this disease was by no means commonly found prior to the great war. This condition was very often found in the mouths of soldiers in France, and the theory is advanced that its recurrence now in America is possibly the result of having been brought home by the returning soldiers. No attempt will be made to enter into a technical discussion of this condition as no benefits will be derived therefrom, but it may be of passing interest to so describe it that one may be able to realize somewhat the condition, when so unfortunate as to become a victim. Many theories have been advanced as to its origin, but none have been of WE SAVE Every article in the store is of pend upon. Men's Heavy Union Suits..... Boys' Heavy Union Suits.....

One theory often advanced in France, and which gained great weight was that it was caused from the dusty roads, over which the soldiers so often traveled. The excreations from horses and cattle, drying up and mingling with the limy dirt, converted into dust, and easily taken into the mouth, hastily furnished the germ which caused the trouble. However that may be, nevertheless the germ was found and much trouble ensued. As the writer has seen numbers of cases among soldiers where there was very little dust, and in places where there was rain, rain, rain all the time, he places very little credence in this theory. The disease first manifests itself in pain and swelling around the lower front teeth, never starting in the back or upper teeth. Soon a whitish coating or ulcerated surface is seen, and the back teeth soon become like the front, sore, and the gums appear much inflamed. The condition soon spreads to the upper teeth and then the tonsils may become involved and large painful ulcers appear. No amount of mouth washes or prophylaxis will help the condition. It would be well-for one to consult their dentist as soon as the first soreness manifests itself around the lower front teeth, as much difficulty is experienced in the treatment of the condition in its later stages. Oftentimes one may associate this with pyrroberd, but the conditions and symptoms are so easily differentiated that no discerning dentist will make the error, as this condition may reach alarming proportions. Here in America it is well that we should be on the alert. If the dentist is consulted in time much pain and time will be saved the patient, for I can assure you it is surely a disease that one will not care to have a second time.

Kiddies' Korner By MADREE PENN DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE By Mary Graham Bonner THE WHITE LEGHORN. "I can lay as many as one hundred and eighty eggs, and so I shall boast," said the White Leghorn of the barn-yard. "I keep roosters away from eating up all the food," said the dog. "I am going to boast." "I can make believe this stick is a bear," said the small boy, "and when I want to pretend my bear is angry. I throw my stick about. It's a make-believe bear. I can boast, because it is very nice of me to have a good time with such a poor sort of make-believe bear as a stick." "I can boast," said Mr. Rooster, "for I call the Mrs. Hens to eat very, very often; that is generous of me." "I can boast," said Red Top, the Rooster, "because I often give the other creatures a part of a worm I dig from the ground." "I can boast," said a bantam hen, "because I stole five chickens and had them as my own." "That is nothing to boast about," said another bantam, "for I took care of some chickens whose mother had left them. That is something to really boast of." "Still you enjoyed taking care of us, didn't you, Mother Bantam?" asked the chickens. "Cluck, cluck, I did," said Mother Bantam. "And we can boast, for we were good children," said the chickens. "Mrs. Bantam must want to sit on some eggs," said Mrs. Duck, "and that is why she is clucking. At other times she would cackle. I shall boast of being so smart as to know that." "We have been hitched up and driven," said two of the pigs from the pig pen. "That shows we're smart." "And I have seen that the whole family got up," said the rooster, sitting on the fence. "Without me they couldn't get the good well water," said the pump. "I also can do my boasting." "We're a handsome pair; we're Miss and Master Calf, good-looking and gentle. We are both of those things," they said. "We help the farm and are very healthy," said the toads. "The same can be said of us," agreed the frogs. "Well, we are really healthy," said the toads. "And we're really healthy, too," said the frogs. "I suppose that is so," said one of the toads. "Of course it is true, goog-a-rum, goog-a-rum, of course, it is true," said the frogs. Did you know that ages ago Mother Goose was Queen of France? "Tis said that one of her feet was like that of a goose. This is the story of how she came by this oddity: During a royal hunt the Queen's horse stumbled, throwing his rider. Getting up, she found her foot to be terribly hurt. The hunters by then were far off and it was many miles to her palace. Trudging painfully along, the good Queen met a goose. To her surprise it asked why she limped. The Queen told, "I will glady give you my foot, O my Queen," answered the goose. "But once we exchange feet the spell cannot be broken and you shall have to wear a goose-foot for the remainder of your life." The Queen, in frightful pain, willingly consented. Then they exchanged addresses. Thereafter the Queen visited the goose whenever the King went hunting. One day she returned from a visit to find the Palace gates closed upon her. A court lady who envied the Queen had discovered her secret. Upon being told, the hard-hearted King, declaring that he wanted no goose-footed wife, had married the tattle-tale lady. So she returned to the goose's home. Here she lived and grew old and wore different clothes so that none would recognize her. Every one called her Mother Goose. Here also she wrote stories about geese and other folks she met. She was very happy indeed. For she said it was better to live under the sky with honest geese than in a palace with jealous, tattling, hard-hearted people. 北 "We grow up quickly," said the Pig Weed; "that shows we're generous." "And we're nice enough to thoroughly enjoy you," said the pigs, hunting and squealing excitedly. "We do the same," said the Silver Weed. "We grow so quickly." "Ah, but you do harm to the farmer's plants, just as the pig weed does," said the rooster. "No matter," said the pigs; "it is far more important that they do good to us." "Well, if you think so," said the rooster. "Of course we think so, and our thoughts are right and correct, to ourselves, at any rate," said the pigs. "Well, you are fed by both those plants, that's true." said the White Leghorn, who had been trying to speak for some time. "But still, those two weeds most certainly do harm to the farmer's plants. There is no mistake about that." "We're helping the tins of milk to cool," said the buckets of water. "We're going to cool off the farmer's children after the heat of the day." "Couldn't have done it if you hadn't us to cool," said the tins of milk. "That is, you couldn't have done the same good, kind act for the children. We the milk tins, and the milk inside the tins, are doing the best part." "Not a bit of it," said Mrs. Cow. "When you're speaking of milk, never forget Mrs. Cow." "I hatched in the summer, as I always do," said Mrs. Hen. "I wouldn't make my little ones have to stand the cold of the winter. The spring or the summer is the time I choose." "Oh, quiet, quiet," shouted the White Leghorn. "Here I started in to boast, and all of you had to do the same thing, and such absurd boastings, too. But, anyway, it has shown me one thing—to hear all the boastings—that none of you come up to me and my one hundred and eighty eggs." Temporary Expedient "What shall we do to remedy the high cost of living?" "I'll see if I can't get a job to assist in investigating it. Maybe the salary will be enough to help tide us over." HUMOROUS FLASHES "Go next winter's coat up." "I should say not. I haven't even go tomorrow's meals provided for." Proof. "That baby of ours is some class. I can tell you." "I know it is. I've heard its class yell." Barber—Shall I go over your face twice? Victim—Yes, if there's any left! Heard in a Restaurant. "Is there too much dressing on your salad, sir?" A boy in white THE MONITOR Good Recommendation. "Who was the man who taught you not to forget anything?" "Why it was —ah—er—lit—was"—"Farm Life. "What about that vacuum invention of your friend's?" "Oh, there's nothing in it." "The days are growing short." "That's nothing. So is everybody." "All that man's stock is watered." "Maybe in his corporation, but I'll bet his private stock isn't."

George Hamway, the son, enlisted with the American colors when this country went to war, and fell fighting in the Argonne, leaving to the mother a $5,000 government insurance policy. The address of the mother was vague. She lived in the heart of the desert, four days from Damascus—that was the only address George knew. The task of finding the mother was given to the Red Cross mission in Palestine, and the search was started immediately. Strange by-paths of that land of mystery—the great desert—were visited by Red Cross workers, and at length the mother was found. She was taken to Damascus by camel, accompanied by witnesses establishing her identity, and after much palaver it was explained that the American government would make remittances to her which meant comparative affluence for her declining days.

Massey 924 North 20th St. A Freak of Fortune By RALPH HAMILTON (Copyright, 1913, by the Western Newspaper Union.) "A penny for your thoughts, Wilbur," spoke pretty Erna Barton, and the somber face of Wilbur Gray, evidencing a mood of profound abstraction, brightened up magically, as it always did when this charming girl was beside him. "Am I sure of the compensation offered?" challenged the young man lightly. "There!" and Erna pressed an old battered copper coin into his hand. "Now confess, slr! Not only do I reward you with the conventional penny, but I present what may be a rare coin." "So rare and old that its inscription is fairly undecipherable," replied Wilbur. "It seems to wear the green and grime of the centuries." "I found it among a lot of relics of the olden, olden time that poor dear grandfather so cherished," explained Erna. "He also left some old pieces of delftware and ancient firearms. "I shall keep the coin always, Erna," said Wilbur. "I hope it will be a guardian of good fortune." "But what about the pay?" inquired Erna, archly. "I bought your thoughts—what were they?" "Well, Erna," answered Wilbur, his glance softening and replete with sentiment. "I was thinking how dearly I loved you when I came home for the holiday vacation." Erna's fair golden head dropped, but she drew nearer to him on the porch seat. "And how much more I love you now," continued Wilbur seriously. "And when I come home next summer I hope I can add to it all by asking you to become my wife." "I hope so," said Erna spontaneously, lifting her clear, honest eyes to meet his own. "but you must not think of that until your are sure that little Eva and I will not be a burden to you. All grandfather has left us this little place, and some money is owing on that." "I hope to be able to clear up everything and more," spoke Wilbur confidently. "Send your sweet, best wishes after me when I go back to work in the city, that I may find some way of earning more money than I do now." "Be patient, dear." soothed Erna encouragingly. "Our ship is sure to come in some day, and it will be the more precious for the waiting." Wilbur was employed in a brokerage office. Opportunity came to him through this business connection of making money, but he had no capital to invest. About two weeks after his return to the city a close friend, Paul Warfield, dropped into his room at his boarding house. "I wish I had a thousand dollars, Wilbur," he said. "I've got a tip that would make me a fortune in a month." Wilbur smiled incredulously. He had always kept away from tips and speculative propositions generally, and, besides, he realized that Warfield was a good deal of a dreamer. "Don't laugh at me, Wilbur," said Paul. "This is no wild fantasy, but a sure thing." "Some stock on the boom, eh?" "Nothing of the sort. It's a sure prospect, with a sound, substantial basis. It's land—land that never decays, never burns up, never wears out. Wall street can't play with it. "Land with a gold mine on it. I suppose?" intimated Wilbur quizzically. "No, Wilbur. It's an eight-acre strip and last week on the next forty a prospector made a strike. He sealed the well, and is trying to keep his discovery quiet until he can interest some capitalist to buy up all the other land in the vicinity. The very choicest is the piece I have a chance to buy. My old aunt is willing to invest half of the money required. Couldn't you raise the other five hundred in some way, Wilbur?" "Oh, yes, sure; certainly!" derided Wilbur. "See," and he emptied his pocket of the few coins it held. "I might buy a hundredth part of an acre." and just then one of the coins slipped through his careless fingers and rolled against Paul's foot. The latter picked it up to restore it to its owner. Then with a profound stare and a voluble: "Hello! Where did you ever get that?" He held close to the light the copper penny Erna Barton had given to Wilbur. He rubbed it, took out a magnifying glass and added: "Say did you know that you have a treasure?" "What do you mean?" questioned Wilbur. "Why, that this is a Cirencester penny of the period of King Stephen, probably one of the rarest coins in the world, centuries old. Will you let me take it to an old collector I know? I'll be back in an hour." The hour was just up when Paul, excited and breathless, returned. "One of the only two known!" he fairly shouted. "The other is in the British museum. I have an offer of six hundred dollars." "Take it!" cried Wilbur impulsively. "and use five hundred dollars of it for your wonderful speculation." Which turned out just as Paul had predicted. There was a later division of twenty thousand dollars' profits, and Wilbur Gray went back to his native village to make Erna Barton the happiest girl in the world. THE SONATOR OH, YES, THEY LOVED MOTHER But One Can't Help Feeling the Jones Family Might Have Shown It in Different Way. Mr. Smith, hearing music and singing at his neighbor's house, decided he would drop in and see how they were. Mr. Jones welcomed him and ushered him into the parlor where his daughter was playing the piano and his son singing. Mr. Smith begged them to continue. They consented. The first song they selected was "Mother." They sang this very feelingly and then father joined in on the chorus. This was followed by "Mother Machree" and others of like sentiment on songs about mother—how true they were, how dear and how they loved to sing them. Then, as Mrs. Jones hadn't appeared yet, Mr. Smith inquired about her state of health. "Oh," said Mr. Jones, "she's well enough. She's in the kitchen doing the dishes, but after she has finished and has taken in the wood she'll join us."—Judge. DIDN'T HELP TO GET CLOSE Excellent Reason Why Old Gentleman Could Not Decipher the Letters on the Card. The old man was applying at the eye hospital for some spectacles and the doctor was making a test of his eyes. A card was fixed on the wall twenty feet away from where the old man was sitting, and the doctor asked him: "Can you read that, my man?" "No, sir," said the old man, "I can't." Again the old man replied, "No, sir." The doctor angrily pulled him forward till his nose almost touched the placard. "Well, can you read it now?" "No, sir," said the old man sadly, shaking his head. "You see, sir, I never learnt to read." BROUGHT HIM BACK TO EARTH Literal Suggestion Made by Old Souse Was Not Exactly the Answer Orator Desired. The literary society was meeting in Oid Fellows' hall. Rev. Josiah Dobson presided. Hon. James Bolivar McHenry, the noted orator from the adjoining county, was speaking on "The Peace Table," and the audience was rapt in respectful attention. "And that was what they conceded," he concluded. "I ask you, fellow citizens, what does this nation need? What is her necessity, as she leaves the far western shore and steps proudly across the Pacific, and in the eye of the world lays the hand of democracy upon the brow of the Orient? What, I repeat, does she need?" "Rubber bootsh," hiccoughed the town souse. A movement to abolish tomorrow is now in order. Among all the things that cause trouble to humanity in general, tomorrow is probably the worst offender. Nothing happens tomorrow in just the way we expect, and in most cases dread. The time we spend in wondering what tomorrow will do, and in worrying about it in advance, if applied today would fortify us against the unexpected more than anything else. Tomorrow is the most uncomfortable place there is to dwell in. Yet most of us live in it most of the time.—Life A young man from Muncie visited in Indianapolis last month. He had been the guest at several small home dinners and was telling two young women of the splendid meals he had been having. "How splendid!" one of them said. "After hearing about all those good dinners I am almost ashamed to ask you to come to see us, but we want you anyway." The eyes of the other twinkled. "If we can't show you what good cooks we are," she laughed. "we can prove that we're mighty good openers." The most particular woman in town went into an east side grocery the other day. A basket of beautiful white eggs were on the counter and she stepped over to examine them. "Are they fresh?" she asked the grocer. "Well, that isn't definite enough," retorted the woman. "Before I buy any eggs I must know just when they were laid."—Indianapolis News. Robert was visiting me and he went into the library one rainy day to get a book. He picked up a book that happened to be a French book. I said: "I am afraid you can't read that book, Robert. You better take one written in English." "Oh," he said, "it isn't so bad. You see the pictures are in English."—Chicago Tribune. First Office Boy—I told the boss to look at the dark circles under my eyes and see if I didn't need a half day off.

Enrollment Is a Vote of Confidence in the Future and an Appreciation of Tasks Accomplished. The American Red Cross is preparing to launch its third Roll Call, to be held from Nov. 2 to 11, for 20,000,000 annual members and $15,000,000. + The first question that will arise is: "Why does the Red Cross need money? The war is over." National headquarters of the American Red Cross has answered this question, and has outlined graphically the reasons why it is necessary to raise $15,000,000 for its international, national and local work. In brief the answer is as follows: in order the answer is as follows: Because: The actual war work is not completed. The Red Cross cannot lay down its responsibilities to the American soldiers, sailors or marines until everyone of them has been released from service, recovered from illness or wounds or receiving proper care, or back in the place in the world from which the war snatched them. Because: The American Red Cross is planning to launch a comprehensive program for peace times, designed to prevent the needless waste of human lives through preventable diseases and accidents in America; continue and broaden its home service work and public nursing, first aid, home hygiene and Junior Red Cross activities. Because: By a recent act of Congress medical, surgical and dietary food supplies valued at $35,000,000 were turned over to the Red Cross by the government, the supplies having been purchased for use with the American forces. These supplies are scattered throughout Europe, many of them far from the places where they are most needed. The prompt and efficient distribution and handling of these supplies means the maintenance of a force of trained workers where the supplies are and where they are most needed. Because: Pestilence and starvation have gripped many European countries because of the war. These countries are unable to cope with their own difficulties, and the only force organized with facilities capable of stepping into the breach and bringing order from chaos is the Red Cross. Typhus is sapping the man strength of many countries, and the American Red Cross is using every available power to check it. Because: The Red Cross must be prepared to meet emergencies arising from disasters at home and abroad. The Red Cross membership must be maintained at its present high standard. Every enrollment is a vote of confidence in the past performances of the American Red Cross and a reaffirmation of the belief in the principles for which it has stood in the past and its plans for the future. The Red Cross, having committed itself to a definite and comprehensive program, cannot turn back, and to go forward it must have as general a membership as possible and ample funds to provide for any contingency.
