KELLY MILLER STATES BASE Doctrine of Prudential Silence Con- cerning Manhood Rights No Long- er in Favor. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 15.—Professor Kelly Miller of Howard University in a recent letter to The Public Ledger, has stated with his usual clarity and cogency the position of what many term "The New Negro" concerning manhood rights. He makes it quite clear that the doctrine of prudential silence concerning manhood rights is very unpopular among all classes of our people. Professor Miller says: Sir:—Since time began mankind has been divided into two types of temperament—the radical and the conservative. The radical is habitually dissatisfied with the existing order and seeks change through revolution. He would rather prove all things than to hold fast to what is good. The conservative is disposed to be content with things as they are and deprecates effort at reform. Social progress is the resultant of these two conflicting tendencies. In the fundamental sense there are very few Negro radicals. The Negro nature possesses the conservatism of inertia. Some Negroes are cautious, while others are courageous in the expression of their conservatism. The cautious conservative believes in amelioration through moderate modification, as distinguished from the radical who advocates change for the love of innovation. The Negro who is content with existing conditions is a satisfied simpleton; while the Negro who advocates the destructive radicalism is a distracted idiot. Before the world war the race leadership was divided into two hostile camps, based upon quiescence on the one side and assertion on the other. There never has been a Negro conservative in the sense of satisfaction, with existing status, but merely in the sense of prudential silence in the face of wrong. All right-minded Negroes everywhere and at all times must want equal and impartial laws, equally and impartially applied. Any other attitude is simply unthankable. Every Negro today who is using his brains above the dead level of a livelihood is pronounced in demanding the full measure of manhood rights. He would not be a worthy American of this were not so. Any individual or group of individuals who are willing to accept without protest less than the fullness of the stature of American citizenship is not fit material for the new order of things now about to be ushered in. The leaders of any suppressed people should speak boldly, even though they be ambassadors in bonds. It is not impossible for the Negro to be courageous and sensible at the same time. He must recognize conditions which he may not be able to overcome, but he must not let such conditions cower his spirit or sour his soul. The highest function of the higher education of the Negro is not merely to produce a set of educated automatons who can ply a handicraft or practice a profession with creditable cleverness, but to develop a class of men who can state the case and plead the cause of the masses in terms of persuasive speech and literary power. Their voice should not be controlled or constrained by any outside coercion. Their attitude must be candid and courageous if they would fulfill the high function of interpreting to the world the feelings, hopes and aspirations of the people who look to them for leadership and direction. Every institution of learning, North and South, has produced its quota of leading Negroes, who are now insistie upon the fulfillment of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. This courageous attitude is shown by Trotter, of Harvard; Du Bois, of Fisk and Harvard; the Grimkes, of Lincoln; Frazier Miller and Carl Murphy, of Howard; James Weldon Johnson and L. M. Hershaw, of Atlanta; William H. Perris, of Yale; William Pickens, of Yale and Talladega; Ernest Abbott, of Hampton; B. G. Brawley, of Morehouse, and Max Barber and Chandler Owen, of Virginia-Union. It is no reflection to say that those Negroes today who take any other public attitude are operating on a lower level of moral courage and intellectual understanding and are moved by motives of thrift or constraint of prudence. This spirit is not limited THE MONITOR to the educated Negro, but prevades between the p'ow bandier: the mechanic the entire mass of the race—the man applying his tools, the miner in the bowels of the earth, the Pullman porter, the barber the mental in the humblest service—all feel and are actuated by the same spirit and are moved by the same impulse. Although they may not be able to give voice to the sentiment which they feel they quickly respond when it is expressed and interpreted for them. The new Negro has arrived. The war has developed a new spirit. In the time of revolution there is but a tenuous partition between timidity and cowardice. If Booker T. Washington were living today with all the high prestige of his personality, patronage and power, he would not be able to hold the Negro to his avowed doctrine of prudential silence on the 'issue of manhood rights. KELLY MILLER. GERMAN POLICE ARREST MURDERS AND CANNIBAL (By The Associated Negro Press.) Berlin, Sept. 15.—The police have arrested A. Grossman, a butcher, charged with being a murderer and a cannibal. Some of the most grewsome murders in German criminal records are being fastened upon Grossman, as the result of the preliminary police examination. Evidence has been accumulate' that Grossman outraged, murdered and mutilated the bodies of at least six girls and women. Police believe many more murders will be discovered.

RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 15.—Copy of the letter written by Colonel Robert T. Kerlin to Governor MacRae of Arkansas, in reference to the execution of participants in the Elaine insurrection, the writing and publication of which was the basis of the action, by the board of visitors of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, in dismissive Colonel Kerlin from the faculty, was received in Richmond Thursday night. The letter was written May 25 and protested against the execution of the men on June 10. "It is a deed to be contemplated with extreme horror." wrot Colonel Kerlin to Governor MacRae. "In the execution of those men a race is suffering crucifixion. I entreat you to take the matter into your private chamber and give it an hour's earnest consideration, as before the Eternal Judge. "Have these men been dealt with according to justice, according to the principles of civilized and humane governments?" The writer then cites an article of Magna Charta and also Article VII of the "Bill of Rigts", which assures to every accused person "trial by an imparra jury" 'the right of an witness in his behalf," and the assistance of counsel for his defense." Another article referred to "bruel and unusual punishment." Colonel Kerlin then asked, "Can it be maintained that these men have been tried and sentenced according to the principles of these charters of our free government, I entreat your Excellency to review the entire case with the utmost candor and absolute courage. "Consider first the iniquities of the peonage system, which as tenant, and shirecoppers, these men were accused of conspiring to end. Those iniquities are partly known to the world, and are indisputable." "As for instigating or beginning a riot, the evidence adduced in the case as tried before the Supreme Court of Arkansas abundantly and conclusively disapproved that. It was not until they were threatened and molested that they armed themselves. That they should provide themselves with weapons and carry, these to their meetings seems condemnatory. But consider the pro vocation. And were they assured of the protection of the law? Not even in their church. Misguided and reprehensible to the point of madness may have been their action in arming themselves, but it was not criminal. "Consider, next, the cruelties to which the hundreds of men and women, were subjected who were herded into stockades or crowded into lock-ups. The time will come when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity." OMAHA, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1921. Prominent Race Leaders Break With Republican Party LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 15.—Under the old war cry, "We will not yield 'to taxation without representation" the Lincoln Independent Party, of colored voters will put up a complete city ticket in the field from Mayor down in the November election. The organization of an independent colored political party is said to be the culmination of months of resentment against the Republican party, local and national, and was called out only when it was learned that many colored people could not be induced to vote the Democratic ticket. Candidates have already been named for Mayor, sheriff, clerks of the courts, jailers, park commissioners magistrates and councilmen. It is believed that they can elect eight or ten of the smaller city officers. TO HONOR AUGUSTUS TOPLADY Monument to Be Erected in Honor of Augustus Toplady on Rock Which Inspired Him to Write "Rock Of Ages" (By The Associated Negro Press.) Burrington, Comme, Somerset England, Sept. 9.—The rock visualized by Augustus Toplady when he was inspired to compose the hymn "Rock of Ages", stands just outside this village and a great demonstration to perpetuate his memory was held there on the August bank holiday. Toplady is said to have taken refuge at the rock from a severe storm which was sweeping the gorge on the edge of which the rock stands and while waiting for the storm to pass over, he was led to compose the hymn PROMOTED TO DETECTIVE New York Has First Colored Slueh In Its History.

NEW YORK WORLD EXPOSES KLUXIES Influential Metropolitan Daily Is Featuring Series of Articles Giving Inside Information On Secret Order. REVEALING AMAZING STORY Presenting Many Facts Which George Wells Parker of Omaha Had In His Possession Weeks Ago. The New York World, one of the most powerful and influential newspapers of this country began on last Tuesday the publication of a series of startling articles on the Ku Klux Klan, as a patriotic service for which it is receiving from all sources unstinted praise. This expose is the result of several months' investigation and shows the Klan's oath-bound secret ritual and its tests of racial and religious hate. The New York Age, the oldest of our race publications, is reproducing these articles. Many of the facts which are now being published by The World were in the possession of George Wells Parker of Omaha, who planned to publish them in The Omaha Whip, several months ago. He got possession of much of the same secret literature of the order which The World is now exposing. Influences prevented the publication of The Whip beyond the second issue. The World however is sufficiently powerful to put the baneful facts of this dangerous organization which in reality seeks if not the overthrow the control of the United States government in 1935, before the public The World declares that it has undertaken the publication because it believes it to be a public service to let the people know the truth about the organization. It is said in the first article that the Klan has grown to a membership of more than 500,000; that it is established in every state in the Union but Montana, Utah and New Hampshire, and that it is growing more than twice as rapidly in the North and West as it is in the South. It is said also that in seeking members the organizers attempt first of all to get the officers of the courts and members of the police department and that they then turn to reserve officers of the army and navy. The charge is flatly made that the organizers are interested chiefly in the $4 they got for each new member and so much of the work is done by mail that in one instance related by one World a Negro was urged to apply for membership in New York City. The interesting point is also made that whereas the original Klu Klux Klan made "white supremacy" its issue and was a definitely anti-Negro organization, the present Klan is as actively anti-Jew and anti-Roman Catholic as it is anti-Negro. This is a very important aspect of the World's story. Many of the secret documents of the Klan have come into the possession of the World, it declares. Extensive extracts are made from these both in the form of photographs and in the form of quotations from them. Other photographs that are used are of the leaders of the Klan, of actual scenes of initiation and of parades and of "warnings" that have been sent by the Klan to newspapers advising them to be careful what they say about the Klan. One very important chapter in the World's story has to do with the men who are at work as organizers. Their names are given, together with the addresses of their headquarters. It had been the boast of the officials of the Klan that no one knew who these organizers were or where they were at work. With the first article of the series there was printed this very interesting tabulation of the outrages committed by men who either actually were or posed as members of the Klar together with the official action that has been taken in consequence of these outrages: A TABULATION OF KU KLUX KLANISM, SIMMONISM AND OFFICIAL ACTION Spreading Its Doctrine. Violations of the legal rights of individuals by masked mobs wearing Ku Klux regalia ..... 64 "Tar and feather" parties conducted by masked regulators using Klan regalia ..... 21 Individuals seized and beaten by masked mobs in Klan regalia ..... 25 White women striped and maltreated by masked mobs of men wearing Klan regalia ..... 2 ing Klu regina Specific warnings issued to individuals in the name of the Ku Klux Klan General warnings posted in name of K. K. K. to enforce moral censorship of communities ..... 12 Killed by Ku Klux regulators ..... 1 Ku Klux regultors killed by intended victims ..... 2 What Has Been Done In Consequence (By Imperial Wizard Simmons.) Revoked charters of local Klan ..... 2 Suspended charter of a local Klan ..... 1 By Legally Constituted Authorities Governors of States publicly announce opposition ..... 3 Mayors of cities taking restrictive action ..... 5 Curbing bills introduced in State Legislatures ..... 2 District and Federal District Attorneys have promised investigations State Attorney General promised investigation ..... 1 Daughters of the Confederacy publicly oppose the further toleration of the K. K. K. in Virginia. GOMPERS BRANDS KLAN "A THING ABOHORRENT TO THE RIGHT-MINDED" To The World: The organization and existence of such a body as The World has shown the Ku Klux Klan to be a menace to the liberties of all the people. It is subversive to democratic government and principles and a thing abhorrent to all right-minded men and women. As such a thing should be suppressed by the force of an enlightened public opinion. In throwing the full glare of publicity upon it and thereby arousing that public opinion, The World is doing a real and substagittal public service. Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor.

BLUE CIRCLE CLUB BLUE CIRCLE CLUB Th Blue Circle boys gave a community dance at Krug Park, Monday night as a part of the Emancipation Celebration held in that park during the day. Fully 3,000 persons were in attendance in the park, 800 of whom took part in the dance. Turner's hand furnished the music for the occasion. Never before has, there been such a large gathering at one occasion of this kind as was the case at the Blue Circle Emancipation ball. More people than it was possible to accommodate were out to celebrate in this most pleasing way, the closing of this memorable event. The Blue Circle is a fast growing organization championed by the younger set. It has opened up a cafe at 2412 Lake St. The proceeds from the dance will go toward the purchase of a permanent home. WILL HOLD BIG MASS MEETING The Great Western Publishing and Advertising Company recently formed in Omaha will hold a big mass meeting at the Y. W. C.

It is earnestly urged that all the people be present. Mrs. Joe Ella Collins will return this week from Des Mones, Ia, w'ere she spent a delightful two weeks' va- tation visiting her aunt, Mrs. Arthur Branham. She was extensively enter- tained during her visit. Vol. VII. No. 12. KU KLUX BACHELOR-BENEDICT SUNDAY AFTERNOON MUSICALES KLAN Commencing First Sunday in October One of the most pleasing innovations promised the people of Omaha will be a series of Sunday afternoon musicals given under the auspices of the Bachelor-Benedict Club. While the primary purpose of the musicals will be the raising of funds for the Bachelor-Benedict Club House, the secondary purpose will be to afford our people a most pleasing diversion in the way of high class musical entertainment and the presentation to the public of the high class local talent which abounds among our people in Omaha. That Omaha is possessed of many fine musicians, excellent singers and artists of the first grade, is not generally known and it is to the credit of the young men of the Bachelor-Benedict that they have decided to take this step that has long been needed. There is no doubt whatever but that the musicals will be well attended and heartily supported. TURNS DOWN $5,000 JOB Chicago, Ill. Sept. 15.—Alderman R. R. Jackson now holding four jobs already turned down a fifth job paying $5,000 as a member of the State Industrial Commission on the ground of overwork. CONGO RICH IN RADIUM Antwerp, Belgium, Sept. 15.—Belgium Mission sent to the Congo Free State last year reported discoveries of ores bearing radium.

HOLDS EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATION 800 Witness Ceremonies. City and State Executives Participate. Parade to Park. Dogsden Band Furished Music Several hundred persons joined in the celebration of the Emancipation proclamation at Krug Park Monday. Old Jap Pluvius threatened severe disappointment when in the early morning he used his sprinkling pot with an apparent intention to continue his dampening work all day. He was over ruled, however, in the early afternoon by Old Sol who turned his light on and swept away the clouds. The celebration was under the auspices of St John's A. M. E. church of which the Rev. W. C. Williams is pastor. Not only did almost the entire congregation turn out but many others as well who enjoyed the eloborate program prepared for them. The program consisted of all the amusements provided by the park authorities, a hugh barbecue, and speaking in which the Mayor of the city, the governor of Nebraska, Attorney Marshall of Chicago and Dr. W. W. Peebles tok part and spoke. Attorney A. P. Scruggs who was master of ceremonies was at his best. Mayor Dahlman made an address of welcome in which he expressed his keen interest in the welfare and well being of the colored people, and introduced Governor McKelvie who gave an address unsurpassed in interest by any ever made by the executive before accolored audience. He had little difficulty in holding the attention of his hearers. Among many things he exhorted his audience to stand together. He advised that the only direct road to good citizenship is to concentrate our efforts and energies on the uplift of our own race. The Governor was followed by the reading of the Emancipation proclamation by Mrs. Fanny Russell. The last speaker was Mr. Eugene J. Marshall, Chicago attorney. Mr. Marshall proved quite equal to the advance advertising given him as an orator and lawyer. He understood how, and succeeded in holding his audience throughout his address. Beginning with a few funny stories he ended with a most fitting climax of logic. His entire address bore upon the supreme need of race solidarity and self-reliance as the pathway to racial success. His address was punctured throughout with logic and common sense. So clear cut was his delivery that it will be a little difficult to remember every point in Mr. Marshall's address. Desdunes' band furnished the occasion with fitting music. The program of the day was closed by a barbecue prepared by the congregation. The occasion was a teeming success in every way and all present were benefited by the effort. The proceeds were for the building fund of St. John's A. M. E. Church. STEADILY GROWING THANKS ALL AKOUND! KLANSMEN AMONG OFFICE HOLDERS Charged Many Government Officials Are Members of the Invisible Empire and Owe Allegiance to the Wizard. WASHINGTON TO INVESTIGATE Counter Movement to Checkmate Inquiry is Seen in Anonymous Demands For Including Other Societies WASHINGTON, Sept. 9—In an effort to stop the Government inquiry into the activities of the Ku Klux Klan members of that organization have started a counter move by making anonymous demands for an investigation of the Freemasons, the Knights of Columbus, the Knights of Pythias and other fraternal orders. Members of Congress and the executive departments are receiving communications urging such action. But these will not deter the Federal authorities which have already set in motion machinery to get the facts about the Invisible Empire. The list of officers printed in The World of September 9th will be used in securing information for the Department of Justice. Many United States Government representatives in the various States, it has ben ascertained, are affiliating with the Ku Klux Klan. Postmasters and special agents of other branches of the Federal service have joined Klan. An order demanding that they quit the organization will be issued. The World correspondent was informed to-day that members of the Ku Klux Klan would not be allowed to serve the Washington Government. One of the first moves directed from here will be to learn the names of Federal employees who have joined the Klan. Congressmen Cautious Members of the Congress show considerable caution in discussing the Ku Klux Klan, and some, for various reasons will not talk at all. For the most part their plea is that they know nothing about the Ku Klux Klan and do not wish to make any statements until they "have had time to consider it." Republican Floor Leader Mondell of the House is one of those who turned down an invitation to express his views. He preferred to wait. At the same time he indicated a decided sympathy with the object of The World and explained that he is not in favor of the "Invisible Empire". He would not say whether the Klan should or should not be investigated by Congress, a matter in which he would be consulted as floor leader. RETURNS TO U. P. EMPLOY Mr. W. G. Macon, former proprietor of Columbia Hall 2420 Lake St. and Macon's Cafe, the 2412 Lake St. has returned to the U. P. Employ where he had worked for many years before entering private business several years ago. Macon is a business man of unusual type and experience. Commonly speaking, he is a man that knows his job. He experienced no difficulty at all in returning to his former employment, having been taken back immediately after closing his cafe. RETURNS FROM EAST MRS. H. W. Black of 2923 N. 25th St., who motored to Chicago several weeks ago, returned Thursday evening. Mrs. Black was accompanied on the trip by her daughters Pauline, Beatrice, and Carmelita. While away the party visited Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, Toledo, and Des Moines. They made the trip without any serious mishaps. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE TO GIVE VIOLIN RECITAL Clarence Cameron White, the famous violinist, who is a great favorite among music lovers, is to be heard in recital at Brandeis Theatre, Thursday, November 17th under the auspices of St. Philip's Episcopal church. A WONDERFUL PICTURE A WONDERFUL PICTURE The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, now showing at the Brandeis Theatre is a wonderful picture. Everybody should see it who can. It will be of interest to many to know that the character of The First Horsemen, representing Conquest, is taken by Noble M. Johnson. The Four Horsemen are those described by St. John in the Book of Revelation, "Conquest, War, Pestilence and Death." Through the wonderfully dramatic story centering around the world war, the figures of these four weird horsemen are always seem. The story taught is that war and strife will reign until love and kindness surplant hate and ill-will on the earth. State's Proud Beast. Every town in Massachusetts has free public library.

Place of Morriment and Excitement CLUB EMPLOYMENT BUREAU The attached report shows the first year's work of the Colored Employment Bureau. Through this office 1769 men and women have been given employment. When this employment bureau was first established it caused considerable comment. Many questioned the need of a colored office when there was other employment offices. We believed that if a colored office was established and managed by colored people they could secure more deserving and efficient workers because they would know their people better. We also desired to bring about a better understanding between the employers and their colored help. We are pleased to say our wishes are being realized. By co-operating with the labor bureau of the east and south we have been able to keep out of Omaha great numbers of floaters. It has been our policy to help Omaha's worthy citizens secure work. By our efforts many Omaha people who would of necessity be dependent upon the charity of the city have been able to work and provide for their families. We believe our first year's work has been satisfactory. Our record speaks for itself. We have appreciated the co-operation of the manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers. They have helped us to succeed. We thank all of our friends and well-wishers for their calls, letters and words of encouragement. We have done our best to do ever better next year. Yours very truly.

The affair was a booming success. Dan Desdune and his famous band were the center of attraction at the state fair this year. We hear on all sides, "That Colored band from Omaha certainly can play some." Walter Williams is able to be out after some illness. In the absence of the pastor at Mt.

To many people the Virginia creeper seems like rather a lowly and modest plant, and yet it has received a warm welcome in England, where it is grown freely, rambling over buildings, rocks and walls. Just as much at home in English soil as in American. Yule for Christmas. "Yule" is the old name for Christmas, and is still used in Scotland and the north of England, and retained in the term "Yule-log." It was originally in England and Scandinavia the festival of the winter solstice. Horace Greeley's Philosophy. Those who discharge promptly and faithfully all their duties to those who still live in the flesh, can have but little time for poking and peering into the life beyond the grave. Better to attend to each world in its proper order.—Horace Greeley. Brains of Lower Animals. All animals have some form of brain and nervous system, which in the horse and other higher animals approximates the human brain. As compared with the human brain, those of animals are deficient in reasoning power but in other ways their intelligence is very marked. Chinese Deeds and Leases.

The brave soul rates itself too high to value itself by the splendor of its table and draperies. It gives what it bath, and all it bath, but its own majesty can lend a better grace to outakes and fair water than belong to city fest.-Ralph Waldo Emerson. Tulsa's Colored People have not the earnest attention of the nation, because the associated press reports do not state in a manner, that will stimulate a desire to give relief, the cruel conditions that have and do exist. Official Tulsa and therefore Tulsa at large is NOT helping in proportion to the appalling need. People are without stoves, cooking utensils, quilts and bedding of all kinds—the merest necessities of existence—and ready money. ALL THEY HAVE LEFT IS COURAGE TO FACE THE FUTURE. Mr. James L. Fieser, Southwestern Division Manager of the Red Cross said: "Winter's approach worries the Red Cross." Unless Tulsa wishes to have a tent colony on its hands in the fall and face a more serious problem, it should speed up its reconstruction program.

NITOR ADVERTISERS Why Buried Glass Disintegrates The bureau of standards says that glass would slowly disintegrate when buried in moist soil. The action on the glass would be due primarily to water and alkali. The disintegrating action would vary with the composition or character of the glass and the conditions that obtained in the soil. This action would probably be extremely slow with any glass, and it would probably be centuries before some glass would be completely disintegrated. To Dream of Mackerel.

DANUBE IS OPEN TO ALL NATIONS Internationalization of Famous River Completed by Action of Interested Allied Powers. BARRIER AND BATTLEGROUND Danube Has Long Been Chain Upon Which Romance and History Have Vied With Each Other to Hang Interesting Traditions. Washington.—The completion of the internationalization of the Danube by the recent formal action of the interested allied powers, announced in Paris dispatches, is the occasion for the issuance from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society of the following bulletin, descriptive of the famous river. "From the Black forest to the Black sea, over a course 1,800 miles in length, the Danube has long been a chain upon which romance and history have vied with each other to hang interesting traditions and occurrences. Geography, too, has done its share, and although the Danube exceeds its rival in length, and although the Rhine in Thackeryar and Hood has had better press agents, the Danube is large enough and beautiful enough to rank in interest with the great rivers of the world. Less a Highway and More a Barrier. "There was a time when the Danube was symbolized by an old-fashioned waltz. But since the World war began, nothing but a hesitation typifies the place the river has held in the economic life of the countries through which it runs. It has been less a highway and more the barrier than in prewar days. Not yet does it serve to bind the various nations through which it passes into a friendly and co-operating group. It has been officially open to ships of all nations since the forming of the Danube commission in 1850 and the various states interested long co-operated to improve the navigation facilities, especially in the lower reaches of the river; but political conditions have done much to weaken the economic link which once bound Linz and Vienna to the great grain shipping center of Braila, to which ocean-going vessels can steem, and to the Black sea ports themselves. "Charming villages, beautiful meadows, picturesque hills crowned with ruined castles, principally palaces, ecclesiastical plies and two of the world's most fascinating capitals are strung along the lengthy and winding river. Thriving industries raise their smokestacks beside the stream whose legendary color is blue but whose true tint varies from a dirty green to a muddy yellow. More tragic than the enchantment of factory smoke has been in late years the sad sight of countless chimneys from which the life-breath of industry seemed to have expired forever. Hohenzollern Castle on Banks. "Near its source at Domanschlingen, the river passes between the castle which gave its name to the late ruling family in Germany and a war monument to the Hohenzollern men who fell in the Franco-Prussian war. Farther down it passes through the once-prond capital of Austria-Hungary, where the fine government buildings stand to the departing inhabitants as a mocking reminder of better days, and beside the Prater, once a deer park and later a pleasure garden noted for its Viennese gavety. The Danube. "Still farther along its course just after entering Czecho-Slovakia, at its function with the March, there is a towering cliff spired with a monument erected to celebrate 1,000 years of Hungarian nationality. This is Czecho-Slovakian territory now, and there last summer the Stars and Stripes were draped on the occasion of the visit of a large group of Czecho-Americans to the newly freed land of their fathers. "Braislaya, now Czecho-Slovakia's river port, was once the city in whose dignified cathedral the Hungarian kings were crowned. The boat station there reveals the changes which history has wronged. Over the center of the landing the present name is given, but to the left one can see most of the letters of the German name 'Pressburg' and to the right there is the Hungarian name 'Poszony.' Budapest Not War, 1918. "Vienna, brooding in its lovely parks, which lack the care that was once lavished on them, and contemplating with cynicism the motto 'Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum,' whose golden letters decorate the walls of the ministry of war is a sad sight. But Budapest, still militant, still haughty in the consciousness of its beauty, seems to have been less troubled by the passage of war. THE MONITOR "Food is the main reason. Hungary, reduced as it is, still contains some of the best land in Europe. Vienna's industry stopped, can do little to earn the food it needs. During the summer of 1920 all traffic between the two capitals was stopped by mutual boycots and although steamers plied the Danube from Linz to Budapest, no through passengers or freight were received. To the casual observer, Budapest is the same proud city as of old. The fine parliament building and the limposing palace on the heights across the river, where Admiral Horthy now rules, seem as attractive as before the war. The upper river is still crowded with bathers and with canoes and rowboats in which charming women and stalwart men do their best to attain a spacious coat of tan. Along Franz Josef quel, the promenade adds a lively touch of color to the drab scenes/to which the beautiful blue Danube has become accustomed. Celtic Fortress Still Stands. "From Zemun, once the last Hungarian port on the Danube, a short trip between low banks brings one to Belgrade, the capital of the new kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, where the steamer rounds the base of the ancient fortress which dates back to the time of the Celts, the Romans and the Franks, and comes to its dock a little way up the Save, which here enters the Danube from the south. "About four hours sail below Belgrade the wide plains give way to hilly areas where the Transylvanian Alps curve down toward the jumble of mountains which extend to Montenegro and Greece. It is in this region that the main obstructions of the river occur. But the most famous obstructions and the finest scenery come at the Kazan Dufla and the 'Iron Gates', where the river has collected a grusque toll. "At Ruschuk, the railway traveler from Romania ferries across a broad and sluggish stream to continue his journey to Sofa and Constantinople; and here the banks of the Danube are lined with huge barges, many of which are still idle. Below Sillistria, the river curves to the north and passes through Roumanian territory throughout the rest of its length. At Cerna Voda, it is crossed by one of the longest railway bridges in the world, the last of the many bridges which cross the stream, some of which are now destroyed as a result of the war and post-armistice fighting. "Braila, 125 miles from the three main months of the Danube, is a port for the grain and produce of a rich agricultural region. In prewar days its wharves teemed with life and its huge grain elevators bulged with the rich products of Wallachia and Dobrudja, which has seen great development since the Russians gave it to Roumania instead of the more valuable and fertile tracts of Bessarabia. From Galatz to the sea the Danube has already been under the control of an international commission whose duty has been to tame the river and the many nationalities to whom the river is highway or barrier, according to the tides of human passion and national life." BLAME BLISTERS ON KISSING Health Board in Pennsylvania Town May Put Ban on Oscission to Stop Plague. Unlontown, Pa.—Kissing is blamed by physicians of this city for the spread of an epidemic of blisters, which has now grown to such proportions that the board of health may be called on to place a ban on onculation until such time as the disease has abated or disappeared entirely. Local physicians are authority for the statement that there are hundreds of cases of a skin disease here which spreads in a manner similar to noxious weed poisoning. The disease has the nature of an eczemous rash, and has been found very difficult to control and even more difficult to eradicate once it has taken hold on a person. While not all the persons affected with the "blisters" are in their teens and early twenties, a great majority of them are at what is known as the "kissing are." The hint dropped that the board of health might be asked to declare kissing taboo until such time as the "blister epidemic" has subsided and aroused a strong protest from all over the city. HOOCH HOUND FINDS LIQUOR Dry Agents Would Buy Terrier Named William Jennings Vollead, but Owner Refuses. Huntington, W. Va.—Bernard Staley has a dog that is worth a million which he has refused to sell to the state prohibition, department. His name is William Jennings Vollead, they call him Bone Dry for short, and he's a hooch hound. Bone Dry is a rat terrier and he has a red nose, and his nose got that way digging for liquor. The prohibition authorities want him, but they can't have him. In two days Bone Dry has uncached two quantities of buried hooch. His master, hearing him bark at a stump in a neighboring field, investigated and dug up several quart bottles of very fine moonshine. His other escapade of the 48 hours was the recovering of several gallons buried in a creek bed. Staley has refused fabulous offers for the dog, it is said. Big Feet No Help in Killing Rattlesnake James Kiernan, Tusten, N. Y., nearly lost a battle with a four-foot rattlesnake because his feet were too big. Kiernan got both feet on the rattler, but was unable to club it to death as he could not hit the snake without bruising his own toes. He was nearly tired out before he managed to get in a blow which stunned the snake so that he could get off and finish the job.
