An Advertisement in the Tribune is a Direct Personal Appeal to the Colored People Vice President Opposed To Special Privileges THE DARK RACES AND THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS VOLUME 2. NO. 53 Vice P THE DARK RACES In a survey of the scheme of the League of Nations and the ends sought to be accomplished through its establishment the dark races of the world have the greatest cause to look upon it with fear and suspicion The great object to be attained is declared to be the abolishment of war. In order to accomplish this great purpose the five great nations, the United States, Great Britain, Japan France and Italy have under contemplation plans whereby they will band together, and later no doubt be joined by the two great powers, Germany and Russia, to enforce peace upon the earth. The smaller nations are also invited to enter this world empire and in order to have a voice in its deliberations and to secure the protection which membership carries with it will find it safer to join than to remain outside the breastworks. Meanwhile the submerged peoples the millions in Asia and Africa who are dark of complexion, who in years gone by were subjugated by the great nations and some smaller ones, and whose territories are held as "possessions" and whose peoples are vast sals are to be consigned to perpetual possessions. When the League of Nations becomes a reality the status of the subject peoples becomes fixed and abiding. Unless they are a free and independent nation with a government recognized by the nations entering into the League at the time of its creation they can never afterwards gain their freedom. Theirs will be considered as a domestic or internal question and the guns of all the nations comprising the League will be turned upon them to compel obedience to their rulers. The privilege and right of self determination must be exercised before the League begins its rule or the door of opportunity will be closed forever. Have the ruling nations of the earth made such advance in Christianity and civilization that they can be safely entrusted with the liberty of weaker peoples? In the elimination of war are selfishness, greed, rapacity, brutality and the spirit of oppression also to be eliminated from the human character by the League of Nations? The bloodiest war that has ever been waged, with all its attendant horrors, is more to be desired than peace with slavery. Until the dominant $r_2$ nations are moved by the spirit of justice in their relations and dealings with the weaker peoples of all races, there cannot be, will not be, and should not be an end of wars. The darker races are developing. They are preparing for self determination and freedom. Shall their aspirations and hopes be shut off by a League of Nations? NEW YORK, N. Y., March 23. Roger E. Simmons says the following dispatches come from Russian sources that are absolutely trustworthy: "The decree concerning free love in Tomsk, Russia, has been authenticated. According to this decree every man at the end of three months has the right to exchange his wife for another, women being national property." "A certificate made out by the war commissioners of Nishne Togilsker and issued to Comrade Jewedokinoff says that the bearer is entitled to help himself to a woman and that nobody shall interfere with him." "In some sections of the Ukraine region commissioners of free love have been appointed. Respectable women who resist are beaten." SOME DAY There will come a time soon when our women will really organize to discuss the very best way to raise their children. It is demoralizing to the race to have a club of women meet and none of them responsible for a child nor a chick. The clubs are allright, but what we need most is a Mother's club. LIVES AND THRIVES ON 5 CENTS A DAY NASHVILLE. Tenn., March 24.—Harry Cloud, 63 years "young" civil engineer, wanderer extraordinary, and mechanic in a Nashville garage, is the only man in the world who has solved the problem of subsisting on 5 cents a day. His sturdy body and active mind are evidence that a nickel's worth of peanut meal and a dash of sawdust will turn the trick. Cloud told of his dietary experiments that have covered a period of five years. A shrewd man is Harry Cloud, and he has the H. C. of L. backed off the boards. During the months he was employed at a powder plant he lived at an expense of $7\frac{1}{2}$ cents a day for food, and is now living on less than 5 cents a day. He is known throughout the West as the "millionaire tramp," and has crossed the United States by rail, motorcycle, bicycle and on foot with a cart and burro. Resorted to Simplest Life "At 57 I was a down and out," he said. "I started out and walked 4,600 miles, over deserts and mountains, and found that I could live well on the simplest food, with lots of water and fresh air, at a few cents a day. I have resolved to devote my life to the good of humanity by teaching self-control. "People eat too much. It doesn't matter what one eats. The thing is to keep the body clean, and in harmony with the mind. It is a matter of will power, and perfect happiness can come only that way." He has set 120 years as his term of life, and says he is already recovering the vitality that he lost during the years he lived amid the flesh pots of a modern Egypt. "I'll not sit down. I feel more like running," he said, and told how he outran a street car in Nashville. He can chin himself thirteen times, and exercises mornings by repeatedly bending forward with his knees stiff and placing the palms of his hands on the floor. He calls fresh air and water the "ambrosia of the gods." This Is His Diet The seasoned traveler is preaching a gospel of abstemiousness. His usual diet consists of well-soaked corn, ground, or oatmeal, mixed with peanut meal; cakes made of self-rising flour and peanut meal. As it is all solid food only a few ounces suffice. "I usually mix a little sawdust with the meal. It isn't food, but I want 'o demonstrate to the world that it does not matter what one eats," he continued. "Sawdust alone does not cook well, as it will not stick together." When asked about seasoning he said: "I read in a book in St. Louis that salt is not good for one, so I threw away my salt and haven't used any since. The food tasted flat at first, but I like it now. I use no butter or milk. Of course I use a small quantity of sugar to improve the taste. I haven't cooked any meat for years." The peanut meal he advocates is the ground product of the kernel and shell after the oil is pressed out. It is used for feeding stock at Macon, Ga., where he first discovered it. Good for Men and Animals "It is as good for men as it is for animals," he said. "Of course, when I'm invited out, I eat what is put before me, for it doesn't matter what one eats." "I am better physically, better mentally, better intellectually, and better spiritually. I am the richest man in the world," he added. "I have it ulcer over Rockefeller and Carnegie, for I have contentment."

Mrs. Howard accompanied her daughter to this city and will be the guest of the Lackeys for several weeks. ARIZONA'S GREATEST WEEKLY PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1919 FUNERAL OF U. S.

VON ARNIM German Chief Who Led Ypres Drive Lynched by bohemians COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 25.—A Bohemian mob has lynched Gen. von Arnim. Advices received here from Asch, a town in western Bohemia, say infuri-German general to death... Commanding the 4th German army ated residents clubbed the famou-corps under Hindenburg on the Western front, Gen. von Arnim led the unsuccessful offensive against Ypres last April. Late in November Gen. von Arnim was reported leading a counter revolt in Germany, the object of which was to restore the kaiser to the throne. DIVORCED FROM WIFE WHO CHEWS TOBACCO YUMA. Ariz., March 24.—"History reversed," was the comment of the spectators in Judge Jones' court the other day when Harry Walker was granted an absolute divorce from Virginia Walker on the grounds of incompatibility. Harry charged that Virginia used snuff and tobacco to excess. "He knew I chawed tobacco afore we were married," replied Virginia, with a pleasing smile. "Is that a fact?" demanded the judge "Yes," replied Harry, "but I thought I could reform her by marrying." The judge was about to deliver a lecture to the unhappy husband when Virginia leaned forward, aimed and spat viciously at a cuspidor about five feet away—and missed! "Decree granted; clear the room," yelled the judge. A curious machine has been made by government officials for the purpose of putting sandstone to the test by freezing. Figures prove our airplane training fatalities to be less than those of an yother country. The monthly average in the United States has been only one fatality for each 3,200 hours flown. The surplus of marriageable women in Europe due to the war is existing a lively concern, particularly in Great Britain, where it is estimated there are more than 1,500,000 women who will never have a chance to marry One remedy proposed for the situation is a tax on bachelors. But why is it assumed that they are in need of sympathy? asks the New York World. Marriage is no longer the sole objective of womanhood, and at no previous time in history has the condition now imposed on women by the war been so endurable. No doubt the lack of husbands after the Napoleonic wars was a serious matter. But women have since had the benefit of a century of progressive emancipation. Almost every field of industry is now open to them, and all that is likely to happen is their voluntary disposition to be independent and self-supporting will be intensified by circumstances. No doubt they will submit to obligatory spinsterhood more cheerfully than masculine opinion gives them credit for. But is the case as bad, assuming that they will want to marry, as it appears on the surface? De sunflower ain't de daisy, and de melon ain't de rose; Why is dey so crazy to be sumfin else dat grows? Jess stick to de place you're planted; and do de bes you knows; Be de sunflower or de daisy, de melon or de rose, Don't be what yo ain't, jess yo be what yo is. If you're jess a little tadpole, don't try to be de frog; If you are de tall, don't try to wag de dawg.

An' as sure as I'm a talking, he'a gwine to get his. Wheeling, W. Va., March 24.—A white woman, Mille Gray, was brought in court here because it was discovered that she was in love with a Negro, George Williams. Every effort was made by the court to show her the "folly of her way," but she absolutely refused to disclaim her affection for the man Williams. As a result the woman was given the maximum sentence of six months in jail and $50 fine. The woman went to her punishment without a murmur except to state that as soon as she is out she will marry Williams regardless of protests.

Just Three Days Left IN WHICH TO GET THE Phoenix Tribune AT $1.25 a Year After April 1st the price goes back to $2.00 You'll Have to Hurry! BINGHAM, Ill., March 25.—A number of years ago Dr. William Smith was married to Miss Louisa Dunbar. She lived in Wheatland Township, Fayette County. After their marriage the couple moved into Eflingham County, where Mrs. Smith deid some twelve years ago with measles, the body being inward near their home. Dr. Smith, who now is a resident of St. Elmo, for some time had wanted to have the body of his wife taken up and brought here. The disinterment took place a few days ago and was under the direction of Undertaker. Hazzard and his assistants, who went to a cemetery in Wheatland Township for the purpose. The grave being opened, they found the box completely decayed, but the coffin was in a fair state of preservation. On getting down into the grave to lift the casket to the top they were greatly surprised to find that it was so heavy they could not move it, and they had to call for more help. The coffin was finally lifted from the grave and an investigation was immediately made to ascertain the reason of so much weight. On opening the coffin it was found that the body had completely petrified—turned to stone. Many who viewed the body unite in saying that its form and features were as natural as on the day of the woman's burial but the entire body was solid rock, and without the casket weighed close to 500 pounds.

VICE-PRESIDENT STRONG ADVOCATE OF EQUAL RIGHTS AND JUSTICE MIAMI COLORED MEN ARE BACK FROM WARS MIAMI, Arizona, March 25.—Williams L. Burruss, Ralph Johnson and Willis Wright colored) arrived last night from Fort Bliss, Tex., after being honorably discharged from overseas duties. The boys were assigned to the 92nd division as truck drivers and are in position to interest any one as to their experiences in several drives on the different fronts, having taken part in the Ste. Menehould, St. Diz Argonne and last, but not least, one of the hardest battles at Pont Amonson. The boys stated they encountered many hardships during the last drives, having to drive mostly at night, without lights. Besides bringing supplies and returning with their dead and wounded, they had to assist in supplying the 27th, 28th and 5th divisions. The boys have had 14 months of service, yet after being more exposed to the German gun fire than most of the boys in the trenches, they escaped without even a wound stripe They have a number of souvenirs, one of which was taken from a German plane that fell within 50 feet of Burruss. The pilot and gunner were dead when Burruss reached the shattered plane. The boys are well pleased with the treatment given them by the French people while in France and then stated today "We never encountered any race prejudice in France and that encouraged us to go 'over the top.' And we surely did." The boys are being given a hearty welcome by a host of colored friends and relatives. MOVING UP THE CLOCK Clocks will again be advanced an hour at midnight on March 30, to remain on the daylight-saving schedule until the last Sunday in October. This schedule was adopted as a war measure, but there was no clause limiting it to the duration of the war, and as Congress did not repeal the law, it stays in effect. City people like the daylight-saving schedule because it lengthens their out-doors time. When the city worker quits for the day, at 6 o'clock, it is only 5 by the sun, and the daylight in June and July lasts for three hours after that. Having set their clocks ahead, the people of the cities and towns adjust themselves to the new time and soon forget that there has been any change. With the farmer it is different. The farmer was the original daylight saver. His day begins at sunrise, or earlier, and ends at sunset. The sun is his clock and he cannot move it ahead. Some complaint has been reported from farmers on the setting ahead of the clock, but evidently it was not general—at least it was not strong enough to cause Congress to repeal the law. 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year vileges RONG ADVOCATE GHTS AND JUSTICE Vice-president Thos. R. Marshall, who together with his wife and little son are in the Salt River valley for a brief stay, addressed the members of the Rotary club Friday, March 21. In the course of the address he said: "The real patriotism of the American people is not lust for land or material success or intellectual attainment; but it is from all, great and small, love of Americans for equal rights to all and unjust privileges to none. "All my life," continued Mr. Marnall. "I have been fighting against those who want special privileges. From this time forward, so far as I am concerned, there is going to be no one in this country who is not an American citizen. "Don't think you are going back," stated the speaker. "There is going to be a more equal distribution of wealth than ever in the past. Get together," was the final injunction to the Rotarians by the vice-president, "get together and make men of every citizen and American citizens of every man in the Salt River valley." KILLED NEGRO; THE JURY ACQUITS IN THREE MINUTES BRISTOL, Va., March 24.—William Blackwell, white night watchman of Sullin College, was acquitted on the charge of killing James Crawford, a young colored man, following the trial in the Corporation Court of the Commonwealth of Virginia, held today. The jury returned a verdict in three minutes of "Not guilty." James Crawford was hired by a quartette of young white men to serenade the girls of Sullins College one night during the month of last November. The five were in an automobile, and, according to two of the young white men who were the principal witnesses for the prosecution, the white night watchman fired at the car, with the result that the bullet struck young Crawford in the head, inflicting a wound from which he dled several days later. The plea of Blackwell was that he fired to scare the automobile party and that the bullet struck the sidewalk and glanced, striking Crawford. The testimony of Dr. R. B. McArthur, who was called to attend the wounded man, and the course of the bullet, as was shown by the hat worn by the deceased, refuted the argument of the defendant Crawford was a highly respected young man and had many friends among both races. The case was strongly fought. Attorneys A. M. Burson and J. S. Ashworth represented the state. OSSINING, N. Y., March 25.—Special privilege of promenading outside the prison walls given one "malefactor of great wealth," Dr. Andre Stapler, and the discharge of Joseph Stopani, another so-called "big criminal," are being discussed by Sing Sing inmates and employees. Stapler, it became known, is allowed to go for walks for a half hour each afternoon outside the walls. He usually promenades along the railroad bank, but, attendants say, never has a guard with him. Stapler was received at Sing Sing last summer, following his conviction of an illegal operation, for a five year and four months' term and still has four years to serve. United States Senator Lewis is credited with having been one of the petitioners who last December asked ex-Governor Whitman to pardon him. Stoppani, who served eighteen months, completed the minimum sentence received from Justice Kelby in Kings County for grand larceny, and went home on a free railroad ticket the state gives each released prisoner out of charity. Stoppani was convicted of grand larceny after the firm of Stoppani & Hotchkiss failed and was expelled from the Consolidated Stock Exchange.

Knowest thou where thou will be tomorrow? Time flies swiftly away.—Gleim. NOT HARDLY At least one hundred requests have come to us in the past week for an eight-page paper every week. These people evidently do not know the first cost of publishing a newspaper, or they would not, could not, make such request. Either that or they want the Tribune to go out of business in a few weeks. Unless we can secure several pages of advertising, each week, an eight-page paper is an impossibility. We can secure the necessary advertising right here in Phoenix and Mesa, provided the readers of this paper will go a few steps out of the way in order to patronize Tribune advertisers. We have repeatedly told you this and now that you seem to want a bigger paper, line up and patronize our advertisers and we will grant your request. ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS The Tribune is more than pleased to welcome the founding of the Associated Negro Press of Chicago. It is a thing that our newspapers have long needed, and from the style and class of news the Association is sending out, there is every reason to believe that the race press throughout the country is ready and willing to do everything possible to make it a great success. The Tribune has been the recipient of many releases and highly appreciates the service rendered. The news is brief, clean and authentic; three things which appeal highly to editors whose constant desire is to supply their readers with the latest and best race news possible of attainance. SCHOOL TEACHERS A school teacher is a person who teaches things to people when they are young. The teacher comes to school at 8:30 o'clock, and when she has gotten enough children for a class in her room, she teaches them reading, writing geography, grammar, arithmetic, music, drawing, cooking, board sawing, crocheting, deep breathing, bird calls, scientific eating, patriotism, plain and fancy bathing, forestry, civics, and other sciences too numerous to mention. When school is out, she stays behind with five or six of her worst scholars and tries to save the state the job of reforming them later on. After that she hurries home to make herself a new dress and snatch a hasty supper before going back to attend a lecture by an imported specialist on the history of tribal law in Patagonia, which the superintendent thinks may give her some information which may be useful in her school work some day. A great many lectures roam the country, preying on school teachers, and some of them are very cruel, talking to them so long that the poor things have to sit up until morning, when they get home, to get their daily test papers corrected. School teachers' salaries range from $30 a month up—but not far enough up to make them dizzy, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. On her salary, the teacher must dress nicely, buy herself things for her work which the city is too poor to get, go to twenty-nine lectures and concerts a year, buy helpful books on pedagogy, pay her way to district, county and state institutes, and enjoy herself during a three months' vacation which her salary takes every year. In addition, the teacher is supposed to hoard away vast sums of money, so that when she becomes too nervous and cross to teach, at the age of 50 or thereabouts, she can retire and live happily ever after on her income. TEXAS LEADS. AS USUAL Not many people know it, but there are more colored newspapers published in Texas than any other State in the Union. Denison has one, the Bulletin; Fort Worth has two, the Masonic Quarterly and the Hornet; Texarkana two, the Progressive Citizen and the Arkansas Appreciator; Marshall has two, college papers, Bishop College Monthly and Wiley University Reporter; Dallas has four, the Taborian Banner, Western Index, Odd Fellows' Budget and the Dallas Express; Waco four, the Paul Quinn Weekly, the Counsellor, the Helping Hand and the Weekly Observer; Austin three, the Herald and two college papers, Samuel Huston and Tillotson; San Antonio one, the Inquirer; Houston three, the Western Star, the Houston Observer and the Texas Freeman; Galveston two, the Galveston City Times and the Galveston New Idea; Beaumont one, the Industrial Era; Prairie View Normal and Industrial College one, the Standard; Palestine one, the Hustler; Waxahachie one, the Meddler. The majority of the above publications are regularly published and it is estimated that all together reach 150,000 readers in Texas alone. Texas certainly has the banner. Our hat is off to you, oh, you Texans! TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE An angel had been sent to call the doctor, says the Medical World, from labor to reward. He had served the people faithfully and well; had gone to see them at all hours of the day and night, in all kinds of weather; had made moderate charges, and waited patiently for his pay; had sympathized with them in their sorrows, and rejoiced with them when restored to health. Before leaving for heaven, the doctor asked if he could visit the regions below. Permission being granted, while the angel waited outside, the doctor went in to look around. Having been gone an unusual length of time, the angel went to look for him, and found the doctor seated fanning himself and watching a lot of people burning in one of the hottest fires in the place, while a look of supreme bliss lighted his face. The angel looked, and over the door was the sign: "These are the people who did not pay the doctor." The angel touched THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING The Soldier in Politics By Samuel G. Blythe (From the Saturday Evening Post) A Long Look from the Under Side Presently he went to France with his regiment. I came across him one day last October. At that time he was chauuffeur for an officer, who, before the war, used to run an automobile-accessory place near where he lived and was a humble suppliant for his business. "How are you?" I asked. "Fine!" he said. "Don't I look it?" He did. He was lean and brown and hard. The little paunch he had had was gone, and so was the excess of chin. His eye was clear, his body erect, his overseas cap stuck jauntily on the side of his head, and his every aspect was that of health and virility. We talked. "This war," he said, lighting a cigarette of a brand he wouldn't have allowed the third assistant garage man to smoke in the old days, "has done a lot of things for a lot of people, including me. I'm a Socialist now." "Socialist?" I looked at him curiously. "You're an odd sort of a bird to be a Socialist," I said. "Well," he replied, "perhaps I ain't, at that; but that is the only way I can define it. I mean that is the only comprehensive term which fits in with my changed views. I reckon I'll be able to define myself better later on; but whatever I am, I am not what I used to, either in viewpoint or in practice. I've had a look at this game from the under side; and believe me, it is the underside that I am going to string along with from now on!" I saw he had something to tell, but I did not press him. Instead, I gave him such news as I had that might interest him and produced some less noisome cigarettes. "Say," he began finally, "you know me, and you know how soft every thing has been for me since I was born. Well, as I said, I've had a slant at the other side of it, and from now on I'm with the underdog." He stopped and looked out toward the place where the big guns were thundering. "Were you ever hungry?" he asked—irrelevantly, it seemed. "I don't mean just a little, but honest-to-God hungry?" "Yes." "Well, so have I been; so hungry I chewed bark off a tree. Listen here: When we made the big push up in the St. Mihiel salient I was detailed as a stretcher bearer for my regiment. I worked seventy-two hours carrying out the boys who had been hit—seventy-two hours of heart-breaking labor bringing back those chaps that were wounded; and in those seventy-two hours I had only one meal and no sleep to speak about. It was tough, but it had to be done, and we did it. Finally after the job was over, I was going back to try to get some food and some sleep. I was dirty, so tired I staggered, and so hungry I would have traded everything I owned for a chance at what we used to feed the dogs with back home. "I came to a place where someone was in a shack frying eggs and making coffee. I asked for something to eat. "I'm a private of the —th Infantry,' I replied; "and I have been carrying stretchers for three days and have had only one meal. Please give me something to eat." "Well, sir, the smell of that coffee and those frying eggs almost made me crazy! I wanted to jump in there and grab that skillet. "No,' was the answer; 'I can't do it. I am cooking for the staff officers. There is a place seven kilometers farther along where privates can eat. This is for officers.' "Well, I had to walk four miles more before I got a bite of food. Now while I was walking that four miles I got a new slant on things. Right there is where I shifted my gears. I knew then, and I know now, and Ill 'never forget, how the poor devils who slither past our winter house in New York—hungry, cold, miserable—feel when they look in the windows and see one of those big parties going on, with enough spent for flowers to feed a hundred of them; those bums and outcasts, maybe, but men just the same, who stand there on the walk with only a pane of glass between them and enough waste of food and waste of money to feed them and warm and strengthen a company of them. "I know how they feel. I know why they curse us and hate us, and what causes talk of revolution and protest against the present social order. I've got their viewpoint and understand their thought and their complaint; an I when I get this uniform off and get back home I am going to string along with them and see whether I can do anything to give them a fairer shake at life than they have! I know that military discipline is one thing and the alignment of the social order is another; but I know too that when you sum it all up it comes to class distinction, and there ought to be a way to even it up a little here and there. "I am no revolutionary, but this war has made me a democrat. I couldn't have anything to eat at that place because I was a private and not an officer; and the tramp on the street can't have anything to eat in my house because he is a private in ordinary life and I am an officer. That's the long and the short of it! There must be a middle ground somewhere; but let me tell you that you'll never get it in a militaristic country, and that all we men who are in this war know it. "The big lesson we have learned is that we don't want militarism in our country; that the rigid class distinctions of a big army must not be clamped on our country; that we have all been ready to go the limit in war, but while we have been going that limit we have learned both sides of it, and know that if our people allow the creation of a great military machine in our country because the professional military men want it we'll stand still instead of going ahead, and lose the very thing for which we have been fighting." The Big Machine in Khaki "We've seen militarism from both sides—from the German side and from our own side; and we don't want any of it of either brand. There are two million men in this country in American uniforms, and two million more over home in camps; and I'll bet you what you like that not ten per cent of those who were civilians before the war started have any other idea than to get out of their uniforms as quickly as they can and get back to their jobs. That's what we think of this military business and that's the big thing we have learned, along with an appreciation of the qualities which we never knew existed in the mass of the common people of our country. that coms from the association and common cause we have had, and a mighty keen idea of the power we can exert when we do get back to our jobs and have a chance to take part in affairs again." "What sort of power?" I asked. "Political power," he answered. "Do you think for a minute that the four million Americans who went into this business intend to forget all the lessons they have learned? Intend to mix back in the old game in the old way? Intend to allow the old stuff to continue as it has continued, when by the simple keeping up of the solidarity the service in the Army has given them they can get things done their own way—the way their experience and their new viewpoints indicate things should be done? If you do, guess aga'n!" "You mean the Army is going into politics?" "Sure thing! Gimme another cigarette." That talk was but one of a hundred I had with American soldiers when I was in France, ranging in time from the days of Chateau-Thierry to the occupation of Germany after the armistice was signed. And I was well prepared to find, upon my return to the United States, in January of this year, that initial steps had already been taken toward welding these soldiers into an effective political machine. It was inevitable that this would be the case; for not only was the potential material at hand in these four million or more young American voters who had gone into khaki, but also in their correlated womenhood—most of them, or many of them, already with votes—and also because of the political precedent that exists in America. The Civil War veterans dominated the politics of the Eastern, Western and Northern United States for a generation. The soldier was the greatest political asset the Republican party had from the days of Grant to the days of McKinley; and in the South the Confederate veterans exerted the same political strength and demanded and received the sam political preference. There was scarcely a community in this country where the soldier vote was not catered to or where the veterans did not have the call on the offices for many years. From 1888 to 1904 the Republicans nominated but one man for president who was not a soldier—Blaine, in 1884—and he was beaten; and all of them save Roosevelt, who served in the Spanish war, were soldiers in a war that ended in 1865. Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison and McKinley were all Civil war veterans. Moreover, the political strength of the soldier was shown in the officers or lesser degree than the presidency, down through the Senate, the (Continued on Page Three.) him and said, "Come, let us go."

Wash. St. The transformation of the fleecy white mass gathered from the bolls into the finished cotton fabric involves many operations. The lint which is dropped into the pickers' baskets has clinging to its fibers numerous little hard seeds, all of which must be removed. The process of removing the seeds is known as ginning. When the cotton arrives at the factory it is run through various machines, which free it of dirt and form it into a lap or roll. It is then passed through rollers covered with steel wire points, a process which makes the fibers lie in straight parallel rows, except as they curl or twist about other fibers. The curls and twists are straightened out in a stretching frame and the fibers are then twisted and wound on bobbins of decreasing size until the strands are fine enough to be spun into thread or yarn. When the product is ready for the spinning machine it is called roving. From the spinning machine the thread or yarn is taken to the looms to be made into cloth.

The Cuban government has been obliged to act in the effort to relieve the shortage there, and has agreed to advance half the cost of bringing the labor to the country. In 1917 57,097 immigrants entered Cuba. 37,495 of whom came from Spain and the Canary Islands. Cuba also has drawn upon the islands of the West Indies, 10,136 Haitians and 7,860 Jamaicans having entered Cuba during 1917. The file fish captured off the coast of Land's End is a very rare visitor to our coast, the only previous specimens having been caught so long ago as 1827. It belongs to a numerous and important family of the tropical seas, which are so called because the dorsal fin is studded up the front with small projections that suggest some comblance to a file. Another peculiarities of these comical looking fish is the gunlock spine, the principle of which was adopted by the earliest safety rifle locks.—London Chronicle.

Remember it Still Attracts the Crowds the oil has to be pumped; from others it gushes upwards through the iron piping with a force that sends it to a height that may be up to 600 feet or more. The latter form of well goes under the name of sputter. Obviously, when a well spouts, much oil would be wasted if the flow comes into play. A workman, clad in an oil and gas-proof dress that resembles that of a diver and is fitted with the usual long air tube, approaches the well from which the oil is gushing and fixes a cap with a "gate valve" to the pipe, thus arresting the flow. Then a branch connection pipe is fitted for the conveyance of the oil to the reservoirs. The gas given off by spouters causes all silver within a radius of many miles to turn black.

The Grand Army of the Republic was not and is not specifically a political organization, but it always had and still has, to the degree of its diminished membership, a voting solidarity that it has been necessary to reckon with in determining both candidacies and elections. The men who fought and won the Civil war stood by one another in a comradeship that was as effective as it was extraordinary, not only in the civil affairs of life but in the political as well. And in the roster of the elective offices in the Northern, Eastern and Western sections of this country from 1866 to the days, not so far gone, when the boys in blue became too old for office, if it could be compiled, would show that thousands upon thousands of former soldiers sought and obtained political preferment. Mr. Blythe goes on investigating and finds another man, a prosperous garage owner in some city in the United States. He calls him Jim and the following information tells what Jim has found out while running an automobile in France: War Judged by Business Standards "Well, I took my training, and they sent me over here. Then they found out that I knew all about cars and they set me driving them instead of letting me fight. That's all right. All these cars have to be driven, and I know how. It's my part, I reckon. But when I got here and began to drive these army officers around, and to get wise to the way this man's army is run, I began to do some thinking, and what I thought was this: I'm in the automobile business, and I know enough about it to own the biggest and most successful garage in my city, which is considerable of a city. Now, the reason I have got the biggest and best business of its kind where I am is because after I quit school I learned that business, and all about it, and because I know how to run it a shade better than my competitors. Also, because I get men to help me run it who know about it, too; men who have been trained to it. "Now, I can't help comparing my automobile business to the United States in this war. I run my business with men trained to it, and the reason I succeed is because I handle my men right, know my costs and overhead, watch my organization and utilize the knowledge of my employees. They are chaps who are trained to it. It's their job. Now take this war! I see that it isn't much different from my business in its general aspects, for the United States is running the war, with the president as the boss, and he is trying to utilize the men trained for war in the business of it." "Well, I see this war succeeding for us, that we are winning it, not because of the assistance of some of the men trained for it. I see the organization busting down here and busting down there, and bogging around, and machinery not working to its highest efficiency, and blunderig, and old-style stuff and antique methods, and fool regulations, and red tape, and a lot of stuff like that; and I think naturally that if our country, after training these men to do this job for twenty and thirty and forty years, can't produce a better lot of operators than some of these are, in the one business that they are trained for professionally, our country probably isn't doing any better job in other lines of public service—that is, some of these professional soldiers have busted wide open in a lot of ways that seem inexcusable to me, looking at it in the light of my garage business; and if the professional soldiers are shown to be thus incompetent in a good many ways it is likely that the professional politicians and the officeholders and the legislators and all the rest of our governmental machinery are doing the same sort of a job that some of these professional soldiers are doing over here in France, and back home, as I read about it, and know about it first-hand. "Now, then, knowing that, I fell, and so do the other boys, that there won't be any harm in taking a look when we get back home and finding out just what sort of stuff these government folks have been handing us, and doing a little reorganizing here and there if we can, in order to get better results. We never thought about it before, but we are thinking about it now, and we've got four million or so lads who are having their eyes opened. We are plumb sure that we have got the greatest country in the world, but maybe our government doesn't measure up to our country in all of its parts and systems. Maybe the men who run it are not the right sort of men to run it. Maybe we think we can run it pretty good ourselves. Maybe we can put a few improvements on it or change it here and there to help in some ways. Maybe there are things in it we don't know about that we ought to know about. Maybe not. Anyhow, it is in the minds of a lot of us to have a look-see. "And there's another thing I want to tell you, and that is to lay off on all this stuff about a big standing army and such. Ill say there won't be any big standing army in the United States, nor anything that looks like the extension of military control or militarism; nor even the suspicion of it. We're wise to militarism over here, and all it means, and what it is, and how it starts; and we're off for life." The two men I have quoted—my gilded, young friend and the driver, Jim—are not exceptional, though they are not typical members of the army. There are plenty of rich chaps who enlisted or were drafted and went willingly, and there are great numbers of business men like Jim, but the rank and file of the organization was and is of somewhat different caliber. By and large the army was made up of four million average American lads who were mostly between 20 and 30, and who were largely boyish in their thoughts and ideas, not particularly consequent in their relations to the government or especially impressed with their duties as citizens—just healthy, happy boys. It is probable that not ten per cent of them ever had any specific political experience or thought. Many of them had voted, and some of them had belonged to political organizations, but they had been more engaged in getting along, and having such fun as they could, and holding such jobs as they had than interested in politics. A good many of the National Guard officers who were taken into the army had had political experience and practice. Nowhere in his exhaustive article does Mr. Blythe attempt to heroize any especial individual. He went to the very core of the situation and obtained his impressions from the men "behind the guns." Notice this statement of the gentleman: "Hence, no matter where one encountered a soldier in France, if the subject was gone into it was learned that that soldier was confident he was to be a power when he returned home; or rather, that he and his comrades would be powers; that by continuing their organization they could do much in a political way." When it came down to his impression as to "Who is Who", Mr. Blythe emphatically hands the medal to the "doughboys" as follows: First off I desire to say that the great outstanding success of our part of the war—indeed, of the war itself—was the American buck private. He won it. The reason Germany quit was not any other reason than the American soldier, the private. He was there. He was fighting like a demon. He was an inexhaustible supply. With four months' training he became good enough to whip the Prussian Guard, the Uhlan, any and all of the picked and veteran German troops. He won that war, and he won it off his own. He was sometimes handicapped by inefficient leadership, by inefficient support, by inefficient transportation, by supply; but in spite of all that he won the war, won it by fighting under the most adverse conditions and in the roughest and toughest areas of France. Moreover, it is plainly apparent that many of the inefficient will ride into immunity from criticism and punishment on the shoulders of the buck private. So be it. The shoulders of the buck private are broad and sturdy, and more than all, victorious. I trust I make myself clear. I saw a great deal of the American army in France, in most of its phases and operations—not preparations, operations—and set these statements down as the clarified result of my observations.
