Ill., Aug. 30—Edgar B. Brown, Indiana's bronze player through national tennis champion, romped three thrilling sets on the courts of the Prairie Tennis court afternoon, and retained his title by defeating E. New York's wonder boy, champion of Philadelphia, at 6-3, 6-2, 11-9. Idgar B.

He won the winning game against another remarkable player and the goal of a mob of spectators opposed to him. Saitch, defended Brown in Philadelphia, was expected to turn the man. Brown's flash Saturday made the challenger's foray look like a fluke. In five city contestants, the two states, the East Ward, were entered in for the Army Tournament, the South Park, the day, Tuesday, the day, play went off a flame. The South Park permitted the Association to public parks to catch play, the first time such was ever given to the group. The stands were operations during the end of play. Saitch, Brown, was provided for that came to see the fi- The champion showed to his best advantage in the second set, the point score of 25-17 indicating the speed with which the set was run. The set was netting often and his placements and the spectators began to concede the move to the Hoosier and to lose faith in the youngster. In the third and deciding set Saitch fought all the way. Neither man was tired and each used all the strategy known to him. The set was replete with deuce games. Brown had started to end it quickly. The wocker declared no, and fought with a permutation that caused the onlookers to mavel. He played the champion in pinches of the early games. In the rallies he win, Brown being forced to chase from side to side of his back court, fore and aft, to keep up with the seemingly impossible returns of the challenger. He led until the fifth game when Saitch tied him and from then on it was first one and then the other in the lead until the 20th game had been won by Brown, and the set 11-9. He received an ovation as he jumped the net to shake hands with the defeated challenger. Cups won by the various players and combinations included the following; By Brown, second leg on Rhetta cup, second leg on Roosevelt State Bank cup, first leg on Liberty tent trophy from the Prairie Tennis club; By Miss Channels-Chicago Defender trophy, permanent; second leg on McCard cup, first leg on Ziff cup, and a permanent trophy from the Prairie Tennis club; Saitch and Wade, mixed doubles, two cups; Emma Leonard and Griff and E.

Aug. 30.—Involving the state law against prize fights, the police Friday night called off the four round bout between Sam Langford, Boston heavyweight, and Rocco Stramalgia, scheduled for the Madison Square arena. Before the match was canceled "all available police" had been rushed to the arena, where a riot was reported in progress by a large number of persons who had purchased tickets, but who said they had been refused admittance because there were no seats for them. The ticket purchasers threw stones and eventually stormed the arena and tore down part of one of its outside walls. involved fifty contestants in twenty states, the East West, were entered in the Annual Tournament of American Tennis Association, for one day each, and the play went off. The South Park permitted the Association to public parks to catch play, the first time such event ever been given to a group. The stands were operated during the day of play.

Wills to face Dempsey, and the only man who will not be afraid of the Utah man. Gon It looks very much as though the long looked for and ardently hoped for Harry Wills-Jack Dempsey fight will be pulled off after all. News dispatches say that Tex Rickard; the man who all along has stood in the way of the fight until such time as he could handle it himself, has about sewed things up for the staging of the fight in Connecticut; just a short ways form New York City. Public opinion in the east has taken on a new lease of life regarding this fight; once Paddy Mullins, the sleepy manager of Wills, began to show his teeth. Mullins has been literally fighting the autocratic powers that be in New York, and has crystallized a strong newspaper sentiment behind him and his plea in behalf of Wills. If Rickard consents to get behind the fight it will come off all right, for the simple reason that Tex is politician enough to have the ways greased before "announcing." The opinion has been general for some time that more than a passing understanding existed between the wily Tex, Dempsey and Kearns regarding the Wills fight. Neither of the three has ever doubted the power of the attraction at the box office. It is believed by all well informed men on the subject that it was a question, thoroughly understood between the three, to squeeze every lemon in sight before taking a chance on a man who appeared to be labeled "Dangerous." Wills will be the very best man yet to face Dempsey, and the only man whom the champion has faced, who will not be afraid of the Utah mauler. Gong!

Something akin to the days of Howard Drew, Irving Howe, Roy Morse, Harry Martin and Sol Butler. De Hart Hubbard, Ned Gourdin, Alfred Washington and R.

Of course, a black sheep will get in now and then, but the lofty spirit of the A. A. U. of fair competition dominates the entire organization. No Tex Rickards here. With the coming of the Fall season, the minds of the baseball fans turn naturally to the thoughts of the world's series. It was generally predicted last spring when the Eastern Association of colored clubs was formed that a possibility existed of an all-colored world series between the winners of the laurels of the two circuits. Several stories have appeared in various colored papers trying to urge on the series. It would be a good attraction and would do a lot for colored baseball. The fans want it and should get what they need, inasmuch as they pay the freight. But it seems as though the supporters of the colored world's series idea have reckoned without their hosts. We refer to Andrew "Rube" Foster, president of the Western circuit. It seems that as soon as Mr. Foster heard of the proposition, he immediately called that and decreed No Series. With Hillard's advice, it fell east. It was clear that person could compete with matters affecting colored baseball that Foster not be the means of affording any revenue to Bolden and Bolden's baseball interests. It must come in time, but according to Foster that time is not now.

If he can fight, which many experts doubt, he should be able to get a very few good matches. Had he the common sense to have taken care of the real deal, and the champion to win, he would be well beaten in New York. But, like the Jack Johnson of France, he is, immediately after winning a chance to earn a fortune, he forthwith proceeded to see how much of a jackass of himself he could make—and succeeded with a bang. Tex Rickard might give him a try with Mike McTigue or Kid Norfolk; he might win from the former provided he has any ability, but the Norfolk gentleman is another proposition. Former Harvard Star to Come Out of Retirement While "Earl" Will. Protect 5-Mile Honor—Michigan Athlete Expected to Furnish Stiff Opposition. CHIAGO, Ill., Aug. 90—Athletes of national and international prominence, American and intercollegiate champions forming one of the greatest gatherings of stars ever held in Chicago, will be hire this week to compete in the National A.

Struggle for U. S. Titles. Notable is the athletes strive to gain recognition from the committee which will have charge of selecting the American team which will compete in the Olympic games in France next summer, but they will struggle for the undisputed American championship in their respective events. In most cases starts are held in New York, of games held at Newark last year will be on hand to defend their honors, but they will meet with stiff competition by many who have shown-vast improvement in the last year. This year's championship meet has known athletes to come out of retirement. Among these is E. O. Gourdin, the former Harvard athlete, who holds the world's record in the running broad jump at 25 feet 3 inches. Gourdin, however, will meet with stiff competition from De Hart Hubbard, the dusky skimming athlete who competes within an inch of breaking Gourdin's record. R. E. Johnson, of Pittsburgh, will be in Chicago early this week to resume training for the five-mile run. Johnson won the championship last year and in the east is regarded as the best man over distance. He was the first warmth hurdler, who won the title last year, will not be eligible for this year's meet. Earl has turned professional, and a number of well-known timber toppers are entered to fight it out for the vacant title. De R. Hubbard, of the University of Chicago, will be a sure contest in the running broad jump, which he won in last year's championships. Norfolk Forces Jackson to Quit BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 30. — The bout between Kid Norfolk, light heavyweight, and Tut Jackson, of Washington Court House, O., fame, was stopped in the third round here Saturday night to save Jackson from further punishment. Jackson was floored four times in the second-round and twice in the third before the fight was stopped. Norfolk welged 184 pounds and Jackson welged 194 pounds.

A. club humbled the All-Americans for the second time here Sunday, when sensational fielding behind the crafty pitching of Jenkins, local 'ace', held the visiting club to run, while the home lads were piling up five runs off eleven safe clouts. A misjudged fly ball in the outfield prevented Jenkins from obtaining a shut out. Score by innings: R.H.E. All Americans. 000 000 010—5-12 C. M. A.

Vau, Aug. 30.—If Jack Johnson come to Mingo on Labor Day to participate in the boxing match for which he has been engaged by a local athletic club he "will be run into the river" by the Ku Klux Klan, the authorities were informed today. The latter are now quietly making preparations to give Jack all the protection possible within their means, which is considered sufficiently strong to prevent the Klansmen from carrying out their threat. University of Chicago Sprinter Declared To Be Faster Than Chas. Paddock DETROIT, Aug. 30.—Albert Washington, the University of Chicago spinner, who ran 100 yards in 9.4 seconds in the Central A. A. U. grandes staged at Detroit last week, is considered the fastest runner in the world today by Tom Ecky veteran trainer of the Maroon track team. Eck believes Washington is faster, from 50 to 100 yards than is even Charles Paddock, holder of world's sprinting records. Washington is the only spinner to run 100 yards against the wind in 9.4 seconds. He has done this twice, once in Chicago and again in the Central meet. Such time against the wind is the equivalent to about 9.5-10 seconds under ideal conditions. The Chicago spinner holds records for 60 yards of 5 2-5 seconds and of 7 1-5 seconds for 70 yards. and of 7-1-5 seconds for 79 yards. Washington gets the most out-of his speed through his ideal form which is far superior to that of Paddock and other star sprinters. He is entered in the national championships at Stage Field, Chicago, the latter part of this month and is just about certain of winning the national 100-yard crown.

SEVEN Why Wills Hangs On To His Manager (Here is Harry-Will's reason for over the Dempsey bump,) he can put over the Dempsey bump,) he can put Auto News Service) Several years back when he was broke flat, he was forced to job and when an addition to the family necessitated home, money, Harry Wills found a friend in need in "Old Paddy" Mullins, white. Without asking for collateral, Mullins advanced several loans to get him over the tight places and he told the big colored fighter who is now challenging Jack Dempsey that he could pay it back when he get it and he need not be in a huff to get it. For that reason, Harry Wills is stalking the Paddy Mullins and insisting that Paddy get the manager's cut of the purse that he may get for the championship. Now the wolves of Broadway are tumbling over each other trying to steal Wills away from his friend and manager. They point out that Paddy is a man of the old school who considers his word as good in words of others as the same. They argue that Paddy is too easy and that if Wills has an aggressive manager, he would have a shot at the title before this and would be "better off by about a quarter of a million." To which Wills replies: "Paddy and I are going right along together. He suits me. Wills has never told me any of his words back to Paddy and 'Old Paddy' never talks, but a friend of the big colored stewards says that Wills will never cut away from the man who put a hand out to him when he needed money more than he ever will again. is fully stored with a full line of DRUGS that the cases of a freat call can be handled by the physician and acily what my patients get and am certain as to their purity and strength.

RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 30.—An echo of the case of John Mitchell, Jr., was heard in City Hall Wednesday, when Mitchell and his counsel appeared in Chancery Court to observe proceedings, having labored under the impression that interested persons might file a petition with Judge W. A. Moncure asking for a receiver for the Woodlaw Cemetery Company, of which Mitchell is a leading stockholder and officer. No such step was taken, however, and Mitchell and his legal aid,adorist of Mitchell, made of Mitchell's property is now in the hands of the court to be utilized in straightening out the affairs of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, of which Mitchell was president.

He had previously paid off his rent and guano bill, and cotton was selling around twenty-five cents, so the Negro said to the landlord, "Boss, here are two bales of cotton I bought to pay up my account. I had a hard time getting it up, so figure up and see how we stand." After running over the figures, he said to the Negro, "Well, by jove, we are even. I don't love you nothing and you don't owe me anything." The Negro said "Boss, are you sure you are right?" "Oh, yes," said the landlord, "my figures are correct." So the Negro said, "Well Boss, I am going down the the Street, and I'll be back after a while. You go over them figures again and be sure you are right." So the Negro went down street and returned in about an hour with another colored man, and said to the landlord, "Did you go back over them figures?" He said, "Yes, and we are even." So the Negro said, "I am glad I am out of debt one time. The well, I scratched me about two, and three bales in the field to buy my family some winter clothes." The landlord said to him. "Why in the hell did not you tell me you had some more cotton at home? Now I must go all over my figures again."

"If I didn't, how could I economize on the left-overs?" *** "I think that children are not as observing as they should be," said the inspector to the teacher. "I hadn't noticed it," replied the teacher. "Well, I'll prove it to you;" and turning to the class the inspector said: "Some one give me a number." "Thirty-seven," said a little boy eagerly. The inspector wrote 73 on the board, and nothing was said. "Will some one else give me a number?" "Fifty-two," said another lad. The inspector wrote down 25 on the board, and smiled at the teacher. He called for another number, and young Jackcalled out: "Seventy-seven, now see if you can change that!" THE PITTSBURGH COURIER SAMBO SIMS—He Loses a Friend IT IS GREAT TO MEET AN OLD FRIEND!

THREE LITTLE PIGS (A Short Story for the Kiddies) There once was a mother pig who had three children, and she called them Spotty, Whitey and Curley. She called them to her one day and said, "Children, I want you to go out into the world and earn your living." Her children were well-behave little pigs and always did as they were told. The next morning they all set out in different directions. Spotty soon found a pile of pretty, yellow straw, and he quickly built him a house out of it, but no sooner was it built than a big wolf came along and said to Spotty, "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "Little pig, little pig in." "No, no, by the hany-chin-chin" replied I'll huff and I'll pull your house in," cried after he had done so the second little pig. Curley was a wist did not build a house found a pile of brick built a brick house. Wolf came along and blow in his house. Cur him, because he knew could not do it. Wolf soaled, but "No, no, by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin," said Spotty. The wolf was very angry. He wanted to go in and eat up the little pig, because he was a bad wolf, and he also was hungry. "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," he answered. After he had huffed and puffed for a few minutes the house fell in and he gobbled up the little pig. Whitey had not gone far from home before he found a pile of shingles. With these he built himself a house. It was not long before the wolf came along and said to him. "Little pig, little pig, let me come in." "No, no, by the hair on your chinny-chin-chin," replied Whitey. "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," cried the wolf. And after he had done so, he gobbled up the second little pig. Curley was a wise little pig. He did not build a house until he had found a pile of bricks, and then he built a brick house. When the bad wolf came along and threatened to blow in his house, Curley laughed at him, because he knew that the wolf could not do it. This made the wolf real angry, but he said in his gentlest voice, "I know where there is a nice field of turnips, little pig." "Where?" asked Curley. "Over in Farmer Brown's field," answered the wolf. "I will call for you to tomorrow morning, and we shall go at six o'clock the next morning when the wolf called at Curley's house, Curley had already gone to-the-field, got the turnips and was back home again safe and sound. "That was a good joke on me," said the wolf—although he was really very angry. "Tomorrow-morning I will call at fire glocks, and we PROSPERITY! HOW. BOUT PAYING THOSE GREEN. BACKS, YOU, OWE ME? Kiddies lies KIDDIE shall go together to Farmar Jones' field to get some apples." At four o'clock the little pig started for the field in hopes that he would get home again before the wolf arrived, but the wolf also started early and when he reached the field he found that Curley was still up in the apple tree picking apples. The little pig was terribly frightened, but he said to the wolf as bravely as he could, "I will throw you down a nice, big red apple." While the wolf was picking up the apple that had been thrown to him, Curley climbed down out of the tree and ran home, and by the time the horrid wolf reached the door, the little pig had locked it. "Then I'll climb down the chimney," and the wolf climbed up onto the roof. But the little pig was ready for him for he had set a kettle of boiling water in the fireplace. When the wolf climbed down the chimney he landed in the kettle of boiling water. Of course, Curley put the cover right on so that the wolf couldn't get out, and that night he had a bowl of nice, hot wolf soup for his supper.

'Superman' To Man" (Copyright, Kelly Newspaper Feature Service) Author of "Blood-Money" and Other Stories SYNOPSIS Dixon, a World War veteran and College man, is a Pullman writer on the California Limited. He is spending his spare time reading Finot's *Face Prejudice*, when he is interviewed a passenger in a train. He is talking later. He later is a Southern Senator, also a passenger on the train, his "fine taste for books", and is forced to agree with him that the races are not equal. Fifth Installment Dixon appeared far from being intimidated. Indeed, he was secretly amused. Carefully repressing his mirth, he asked with sprightly ingeniousness: "In what particular, sir?" The Senator, it appears, had not foreseen an analysis in question, for he stammered: "Oh, you know very well what I mean. I mean—well well—do you feel you are the equal of a white man?" "Your question has answered itself," responded Dixon. In what way? /if I could tell how a man make the comparison, then I mean that I, a Negro, have just feelings as a white man." Respense. Silence, except for reading of the train. After a pause Dixon continued; "Since your question implies—I must be in me as a standard by which I believe that any white man myself is endeavoring the most thing is as good a man. And more, sir," he added of gentle remonstrance, question has been most unimportant to yourself, for in whether I consider myself as a white man, you are sure that all white man's name of reputation, are alike." Stander appeared, the man constant ever. His face flushed when he admitted not to be beaten, but he denied not to be beaten, due to the charge, he began in intelligence and domineering tone: all you were horn in Ala- My father was a slaye, wasn't my grandmother, sir," corrected finally. What I want to get at is you, the descendant of a cousin yourself the social of a white man, who has al- lain free and who owned your cocktail?" And he finished with: "Come on, now; no more around the bus." died to accept his mean- tion that implied a perfect understanding he began: "Of this, this is a matter that covers our country and and so I feel that we two we calmly and without the trouble of hearing tone he explained; but as I was in a part of the where a white skin is defied that one illified, candidly, in which I did believe that there something about the white man him superior to me. But, until for me, I have traveled that carefully. I once work- ed on the problem, and I visited the prin- tature of the world. In one where I lived six times see a dark face. Liv- er occasionally among whites I have accepted for differences simply in environment, my many essentially the same as I did. What struck me was the univer- sity. European- men possessed, so far as the same tempera- tion class for class, as my position on me a rare op- portunity to observe, in all kinds and if there is any I have failed to find the years of rather care- ment. It is needless to say, the days of superiority and periment or texture in long ago." He demanded information: "But what the Negro has been drawn of history, say of synonyms and forms of A black skin slavery of servitude, slavery a sign of inferiority." The slave is of slaves, the Senator's in- determined to surrender. He replied that exasperated range as it Cantonian. The vast ma- teries are today in- and mentally saw. But if we literally all, or of the white have been slaves and sold to the Romans.

Even here there were Irish persons were slaves. There were Irish slaves in New England." "Irish slaves in New England?" echoed the other in scornful surprise. "Yes, sir, Irish men and women were slaves in New England, being sold like black slaves and treated not a whit better. Many of the most socially prominent in America have slave ancestors. Lincoln's ancestors were white slaves. According to Prof. Cigrand, Grover Cleveland's great-grandfather, Richard Falley, were slaves in Connecticut. There were no white slaves in Virginia. Black and white slaves used to work together in the fields in Barbados. Indeed, it would be quite possible to find white persons living in this country who were born in actual slavery, such having come from Russia, where slavery was abolished the same year our Emancipation Proclamation was signed. I refer you to Wallace's 'Russia'. At this point, the white women on sale in the Turkish and Moroccan markets, where anyone, Negroes included, may buy them. Hence, you see, sir, the white man has no special advantage over the black in the matter of slavery." Dixon paused a moment, then added: "But I should think that the stigma attached to slavery would be more justly placed on the descendants of slaveholders than on the offspring of slaves. Is it not the kidnapper, and not the kidnapped, who is the odious one? With all deference to your parentage, my opinion is that slaveholders were members of the most pernicious kind." The Senator glared angrily at the porter. He was exasperated at the argument, but saw no way of getting out of it. He arose hastily, stopped, paced the smoker, then resumed his seat. After a few moments he insisted: "But the Negro himself acknowledges his racial inferiority. Just look how he bleaches his skin, straighten his hair, and uses other devices to appear like the white man! isn't that a sign of inferiority? Imitation is acknowledgment of stupefaction. Do you know any race thus imitating the looks of the white man? I can't imagine a more conical sight than a Negro dandy with his hair all ironed out until it looks like the quills upon the fretful porcupine. Imagine a white man darkening himself to look like a Negro. Then he hears him shamed of himself. If he believes himself the equal to the white man, his actions certainly do not show it." Dixon started. He had never looked at this matter in this light before. Now he pondered his reply. The passenger noted his silence with a smile of satisfaction. Dixon found his response. Dixon boasts that Negroes who 'doctor' themselves to appear white do acknowledge inferiority. I have always held that one's hair or color of skin is as perfect as nature can make them—so perfect that to tamper with either is the surest way of spoiling them eventually." "So much the worse for the black man, then," retorted the passenger, sarcastically, "that he should try to ape a race below him. He is just inferior, that's all. The best job is that he acknowledges it himself, that he acknowledges his faults, don't you believe him?" "Indeed, sir, retorted Dixon. "If is clearly the fault of the average white that these so-called Negroes should try to be other than they are. In a country where a drop of Negro blood more or less visible, kink, more or less unhealed, in the air, will altogether change the extent of one's life, what can you expect?" Dixon paused an instant, then continued: "I will give you an instance. Two brothers, intimately known to me, arrived in New York from abroad. The hair of one brother did not indicate Negro extraction, that of the other did. The other haired one obtained position commensurate with its ability. Incidentally, he went South and married white woman. The other, the better educated and more gentlemanly of the two, too many for subfurge, after fruitless endeavor had to take a porter's job. He finally went back home in disgust." Dixon added reflectively: "Also do not forget that if certain Negroes iron their curly hair to make it straight, certain whites also iron their straight hair to make it curly. The whites also, by bleaching their complexion and hair, wearing false By J. A. Rogers Lives Several Hours After Pulse Stops STRATFORD, Ont., Aug. 30—(By the Associated Press)—Physicians announced today that seven-year-old Jack R. Leanne (white) had lied for several hours after his pulse had stopped. A high stimulant was used when life apparently was extinct. Fort two hours there was no sign of life. Then the pulse commenced to beat again, and he lived for five hours. He has been suffering from acute bone inflammation. hair and the like, make a false show, too. Don't they? Whose superiority is the aping then? The passenger shifted in his seat uncomfortably. After a few moments he responded, a shade less confidently, but with greater bluster: "What about this, then: The Negro shows no originality, not. even so far as contemptuous epithets are concerned. The white man calls the Negro 'nigger' and yet the Negro accepts it even to the length of calling himself so. Fancy a white man calling himself by a name given to him by Negroes! The Negro is a mimic. He has the same amount of reasoning power as a poll parrot." (To Be Continued Next Week) "SLAVE STATE PREDICTED Chesterton Sees It As Outgrowth of Industrial Trend. LONDON, Aug. 30.—World conditions are ripe for the creation of a "slave state," Gilbert K. Chesterton, author and master of Paradox, told the Roman Catholic Congress at Birmingham. The "slave state" will be a state of society growing out of the present industrial trend. Chesterton explained as follows: There are all this moment all the matter for the building up of a slave state. We have today all the wealth and employing power in comparatively few hands, and a vast mass of people dependent upon these rich men. "That vast mass of men are very turbulent, often desperate, often starving, and constantly throwing civilization out of gear by strikes and revolts. "Somebody will suggest a compromise in which one will guard the lives of others, decent conditions, decent holidays, in return for which there will be insistence that men do not strike. "The moment you have that you have slavery. You undertake to feed your slaves, and your slaves will feed you, it might be a grond barricade for them." What Is The Best Season Of The Year What is the best season of the year? Summer, to most people—though the other seasons, especially spring, have their charms. And the older you get, the more you will like summer, the more you will wdread winter. For summer, with its luxurious growth, is symbolic of life at its best. Spring corresponds to our babyhood. It is the sprouting season, full of hope, dreams, uncertainty, danger of frost. Autumn is like the waning years of life, when we harvest as we have soum, when we suffer for our negligence and missteps. Winter is our time to grow up, when we look backward in the autumn of life, says "If only I had my life to live over again . . ." Winter, of course, corresponds to human death, the hibernation of old growth until new growth is ready to sprout and bud. All three of these seasons are preparations. The aftermath of summer, and summer is the period of life—of accomplishment—symbolic of the lives we are living. Fixes Tear Gas Bomb For Use on Burglar CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 30—Professor W. Lee Lewis, of Northwestern University, inventor of Lewisite and other high explosives and deadly gases used in the World war, announced today that after three visits from burglars he was tired of being robbed, so he has equipped his home with a burglar alarm attached to a tear gas bomb. "As soon as a window is raised or a door opened, the bomb drops to the floor, he deflated, and I have added a booster charge to make it explode so that it will reach every corner. Our sleeping porch is closed from the house, so the family is in no danger. All I have to do when the bomb goes off is to call the police and tell them to bring an ambulance."

Accused of Throwing Own Baby Into River CINCINNATI, Aug. 30.—A charge of murder was placed against Drusilla Anderson, 20, of Carlisle, Ky., last week, following her confession that she had thrown her 2-week-old baby girl into the Ohio River here Sunday night. The child's body was found last night lying on the bank of the river. Miss Anderson was arrested early today when found wandering aimlessly about the streets. Monkey Runs Amuck And Bites Old Woman NEW ORLEANS, La., Aug. 30. — A pet monkey escaped from his cage in a Howard avenue home yesterday ran amuck in that neighborhood and wound up in a little brown old woman, biting her severely on one hand and almost completely tearing off one of her ears. Mrs. Adolph Staunder, the victim, was taken to a hospital. Because of her advanced age physicians reported her condition as serious. The beast, a large specimen, was brought to bay by a well-aimed brick bat thrown by a policeman after it had eluded a crowd of neighbors and a police squad for more than an hour by sealing fences and housetops. SPEND MORE ON ROUGE THAN NATION ON BATHROOMS Women and girls in the United States spent more last year on rouge, face powder, and lipsticks than the entire country spent for bathroom equipment, according to Col.

Reads 114 Books in 19 Days; Must Have Been Short Ones SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Aug. 80. —A reputation as one of the world's champion readers was established by Maj. Gen. Robert C. Davis, adjutant general of the army, during the nineteen day voyage of the trans-Atlantic flight from New York. During the trip Gen. Davis consumed an average of six books each day, totaling 114. CLEVELAND BOY MAKING HIT IN WEST AS SINGER CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 30. — Albert Beckley, Cleveland's popular entertainer, direct from the Royal Inn Cabaret, is doing his stuff in Chicago. He's going big as Miss Oseola Blanks and Leonard Harper of the famous Harper and Blanks "Plantation Days" Company, now playing at Connie's Inn, New York's latest cabaret. Miss Blanks is a clever singer and dancer and Harper is an accomplished performer and playwright. U. S. Tourists Again Warned By Poincaire Frequent Rows, Created Because No Color Line Is Drawn in Cafes, Must Be Checked. PARIS, Aug. 30.—A new warning to foreigners from the United States who actively draw the color line in France is found in the published response of Premier Poincaré to Deputy Georges Batholey, who announced last week his intention to interpolate the Government at the opening of Parliament on recent incidents between French Negroes and foreign whites. The Premier states that he has ordered the Minister of the Interior to take such action as may be necessary, and to petition of the incidents. It is believed here that the Government might go as far as expulsion in flagrant cases. The letter says, in part: "A severe penalty already has been put upon the Montmartre establishment where the last incident occurred. Its night license has been withdrawn. "I will continue to follow the problem closely, leaving the Minister of the Interior, under whose control lies the policing of foreigners and the surveillance of public establishments, the duty of seeing that all are strictly observed, and that all infractions of these laws: be punished." It is accepted that the Premier hopes his letter may serve the double purpose of a warning against further color incidents—which, unpunished, cannot help hurting France's prestige among her almost exclusively black colonists — and the feeling of the feelings of the indignant deputy. While it is felt that France must defend the dignity of her colonies, there is no question that M. Poincaré does not wish to offend American feeling, and would like to keep the question from coming to debate in the Chamber of Deputies. There are frequent rows created by Americans in Montmartre cafes because the management permits French Negroes to dance with white girls. If 9 If you have only a week or two for your outing don't go away to a resort where you are unknown and may remain so. Often it takes two or three weeks to acquire a circle of friends at a resort and often it happens that just as one is about to return she has just got her social bearings. Nothing is more forlorn than to be an onlooker at other people's galasies. Don't go anywhere without being sure that you have the appropriate wardrobe. If you have a very simple wardrobe don't go to a hotel where elaborate dressing is the rule. You will find life at some less formal place more to your taste. And don't carry a lavish wardrobe to a place where simple dressing is general. Marriages Decreasing Divorces Increasing In Allegheny County WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Blarrisages are decreasing and divorces increasing in Allegheny county. The a. me condition prevails throughout Pennsylvania a report on marriages and divorces in 1922 made public today by the U. S. census bureau shows. Marriages in Allegheny county last year totaled 10,079 and divorces 985. This is compared with 11,591 marriages in 1916 and 726 divorces. The ratio of divorces to marriages is thus seen to have increased from 6.2 per cent in 1916 to 9.7 per cent in 1922. In Pennsylvania the marriages and divorces in 1922 totaled 70,289 and 6,892, respectively, as compared with 72,033 and 4,980 in 1916. Philadelphia's marriages in 1922 totaled 17,721, as compared with 17,289 in 1916, while divorces in 1922 totaled 1,662 as compared with 995. The reasons for Western Pennsylvania counties, compiled by the census bureau from the reports of the prothetary in each county, follow: | County | Marriages | Marriages | Divorces | Divorces | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Allegheny | 10,079 | 11,591 | 985 | 726 | | Armstrong | 571 | 534 | 48 | 39 | | Beaver | 856 | 814 | 107 | 63 | | Bedford | 181 | 176 | 11 | 8 | | Butler | 670 | 677 | 54 | 45 | | Cambria | 1,364 | 1,380 | 110 | 91 | | Clarion | 241 | 250 | 9 | 21 | | Clearfield | 748 | 757 | 46 | 60 | | Crawford | 451 | 484 | 84 | 64 | | Payette | 1,295 | 1,368 | 274 | 189 | | Forest | 1,210 | 1,287 | 172 | 106 | | Greene | 194 | 155 | 8 | 14 | | Indiana | 626 | 536 | 43 | 28 | | Jefferson | 441 | 446 | 22 | 28 | | Lawrence | 859 | 891 | 110 | 89 | | Mercer | 766 | 648 | 73 | 44 | | Somerset | 446 | 445 | 31 | 16 | | Venango | 415 | 501 | 47 | 52 | | Warren | 311 | 307 | 65 | 46 | | Washington | 956 | 1,015 | 116 | 110 | | Westmoreland | 1,934 | 1,904 | 164 | 110 | Mrs. Harding Will Receive Husband's Unpaid Salary Congress Will Vote to Her About $65,000 Which Her Husband Would Have Drawn This Year, Also a $5,000 Annuity and Franking Privilege. Desire To Die Is More Powerful Than Desire To Love, Says Scientist Would Forbid Looking Into Each Other's Eyes in Dance Mrs. Florence Kling Harding, according to immemorial custom, will receive the salary that would have gone to President Harding had he lived for the remainder of his salary year, which, including back salary which, Mrs. Harding had not drawn, will amount to more than $65,00. In addition Mrs. Harding may receive from Congress a $5,000 annuity and the franking privileges for life. In the cases of the widows of four Presidents who died in office, Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Garfield, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. McKinley, Congress gave them the remainder of the salary for the year that would have gone to their husbands had they lived in the country; the widow is $75,000 and the salary year begins March 4. Senators and Representatives assert that the same will be done for Mrs. Harding. The widow of every President who did not die in office has been given a $5,000 annuity by Congress since the death of President Tyler, with two exceptions: Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Desire To Die Powerful T To Love, VIENNA, Aug. 30—Prof. Sigmund Freud, founder of the psychoanalysis, has come forward in his latest book with the assertion that the desire to die is an even more powerful factor than the desire to love. Thus he has capitulated after holding out for years against the disciples of the world's universities, who have attempted to find rivals for sex desires. These, Freud had inherited maintained, are almost the exclusive dominating factor of human life. If an expert psychoanalyst were to analyze Freud himself in the light of his latest work—which has the extraordinary title, literally translated from the German, "The I and the It," (Das Ih und das Es)—he would find method in the knowledge he would glean. He would learn that this man, who undoubtedly is one of the world's geniuses, discovers at the age of 70 that death after all is stronger than love. He then Would Forbid Each Other's KALAMAZOO, Mich., Aug. 30. Dancing partners would be prohibited from looking into each other's eyes under the provisions of a series of amendments to the local dancing ordinance which has passed its first reading by the City Commission. The amendments, containing twenty-eight separate provisions, are designed to prohibit offensive attitudes and objectionable steps reported upon by policewomen after three Cleveland. In addition, each was extended the franking privilege — that is, they were permitted to send their mail free of charge. Widows of Senators and Representatives who die in office receive at the hands of Congress one year's salary that would have gone to their husbands, which amounts to $7,500. There is no established law for the gifts to the widows of Presidents, Senators and Representatives other than precedent, and Congress has to act on each individual case. The matter is handled in a special appropriation bill. No attempt has yet been made by Government officials to estimate teh Harding funeral cost. All the bill's have not yet been received. The expenses incident to the last illness and funeral of Presidents are all allowed by the government through a special act of Congress. The bills for President Harding's funeral will be submitted to Congress when it convenes and an appropriation made to cover them. Is More Than Desire Says Scientist might easily infer the significant fact that this man, who writes that he finds the desire to die so strong, actually is nighting for a prolongation of time, in which to go on with his work. Suffering Mortal Malady Suffering Mortal malady Although his disciples make every effort to express public knowledge of the facts concerning Prof. Freud's illness, he is said to be suffering from a slowly developing mortal malady. The illness has so far developed that at present he works under some difficulties. A few selected pupils still study with him, although the greater number have passed to his spiritual son, Dr. Otto Rank. Prof. Freud still receives part of the great body of sociologists, psychologists, philosophers, novelists and merely curious who visit him, and they often carry away memories of brilliant and not, too kindly wit. However, "The I and the It" probably is his swan song. Looking Into Eyes in Dance years of dance hall supervision. The provision against looking into each other's eyes is held to be in the interest of health in that it will make it impossible to breathe into each other's face. Other provisions require dancers to adopt a forward poise and to move continuously in one direction.

Tragedies Occur Within Few Hours of Each Other; Ten Persons Being Held Police of the Fifth district are searching the city for a man wanted for the murder of Ernest Childs, No. 914 Lombard street, who was shot to death at a party. Ten persons were arrested following the shooting, which was the second murder within a period of a few hours. All were held yesterday by Magistrate Carney as material witnesses. None of those held as material witnesses would tell the reason for the fatal shooting, which, police are inclined to believe resulted from an argument concerning a woman.

ONE DEAD, MANY HURT IN CARNEGIE KLAN BIOT Word came back to the police, it is said, that the parade would be held with the arrival of a high official and 20 members of his staff from the national headquarters of the Klan in Atlanta, Ga. A special train of 13 coaches, carrying these officials and many other Klansmen arrived in the borough at 8:30 o'clock and the men were taken to the scene of the initiation in automobiles. The initiation had started before they arrived, but they participated in it. Fight Stars at Bridge The first outbreak occurred on the Carnegie end of the Glendale bridge, as the first forces of the Klansmen appeared at the head of a column of marchers after holding initiation exercises on the hill. In attempting to pass through a cordon of citizens they ran their autos into two motorcycle policemen, knocking them down. The crowd surged forward and blocked their progress. Autos were placed at all available points in the street to prevent the THE PITTSBURGH COURIER paraders from advancing; this checke them. Someone demanded that the Klansmen take down the Ameri- can flags they were carrying. The electric K. K. K. sign was torn from the leading auto. Half an hour later the Klansmen, with a united effort, broke through the lines of citizens and officers and succeeded in marching two squares farther into the town. They were halted again. Then rioting broke out again. HALF MILLION IS S FOR HOWARD U (Continued From there is one white den 2,070 white people in States, while there is be dentist to every 20,500 sons.

All day Sunday doctors were busy answering calls to homes to dress minor injuries. Piles of rocks, broken down fences, where angry citizens had torn off palings to break up the Klan parade, and scattered fragments of the Klan regalia bears mute testimony to the hurried flight, which turned to a rout as true American citizens rose to defend their rights against "hooded" invasion. HALF MILLION IS SOUGHT FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY (Continued From Page 1.) there is one white dentist to every 2,070 white people in the United States, while there is but one colored dentist to every 20,500 colored persons. "Deplorable limitation of the capacity of colored educational institutions" is responsible for the foregoing situation, Secretary Work believes, and he is endearing to remedy this condition by increasing the facilities for these types of professional education. "Secretary Work is to be commended for his courageous action in placing this matter so forcefully before Congress. The needs of the Medical and Dental schools at Howard have been long felt; as an urgent necessity for the carrying on of a work of far-reaching importance among our people.

To enforce his will, however, Poincare had to recourse to an old established law in 1790 governing the "protection of public order."

Cain, County Commissioner, who is a candidate to succeed himself with the Repub- lican Organization endorsement, finds considerable pleasure in cam- paigning. He said recently: “While campaigning is strenuous work, it has its pleasant side to me in the making of new friends and renewing old friendship. The people of this county are warmhearted and it is a delight to go among them. I Hope to meet a great many of them before this: campaign ends. “Everywhere I have been I have found enthusiasm for the entire ticket. The campaign thus far has developed three outstanding issues. One seems to be whether officials will be chosen for the city and coun- ty who will devote. themselves. to solving tho serious, problems; that are pending ‘and to planning. pro- gressive enterprises that will be of Benefit to all of the people, of the community, or such a9, ill degrade the governinent to a inere raid on the political pork barrel. Another issue is the fact that the Old Guard has entirely ignored service men. While ‘I-am. not stressing my mili- tary serviee,.and am making my ap- peal solely on my record as an of- ficial, I can’t help ‘knowing how the soldiers feel about this, A vital is- fsue, also, is that the Old Guard is the’ ancient and present foe of the Soman voter. They tried to disfran- chise the women of Allegheny coun- ty after the constitutional amend- ment recogiizing their right to vote had been ratified, and have persist- ently resisted the’ cleansing influence of women in the political field. “As for myself, I know that I Jam being fought because I am and always wil be, independent in polit jcal thought and political action, In ofice,. represent the péople who elected me..1 am in the Republican [Organization movement because it means political freedom for all. ,(T,am potting my candidacy up té all of the people. 1 am not making any particular appeal to any class er group. I do not believe in class or group government. I want to Roint out, however, to the women of Allegheny’ County, that one of the reasons for the deep-seated opposi- tion: to me is that I would not be party to a plot of the Old Guard which would have prevented the wwomen from exercising the franchise after they had won a victory at the end of a battle extending éver half of a century.

[am quite willing to leave the verdict to the women, 1 can add, with pride that all of the men on the ticket on which my name ap- pears have the Same feelings toward the women voters as the county com- missioners had at a critical stage in the triumph of the suffrage move- ment. THE: PITTSBURGH COURIER Recorder John D. Graham True ” Public Servan ‘By efficiency, ability, a strict sense of public duty and businesslike man- |sgement of the affairs of his office ‘John D. Graham, Recorder of Deeds of Allegheny County, has earned the approval of all who buve had business to transact with him. Mr Graham, who is a candidate’ for re- election, is not a factiondlist, poli- fieally, and "makes ins appeal for support to all of the people, on the basis. of- service retiqered, promising that his work of the future shall be of the same high standyrd as his achievements of the past. During seven years’ service as Re- corder of Deeds he has devoted him- self strictly to raising the efficiency of his office and has made many changes for the betterment’ of the service to the public. With the aid of the Allegheny County Bar Asso- ciation he has completed the index- ing, universally recognized as_ the most practical, convenient and effic- ient method of indexing devised. Mr. Graham ‘has also had ‘a large ‘part of the very valuable old title rec- ords of Allegheny County restored by a new method, whose worth has heen demonstrated and which will preserve the original documents for ‘a long period of years to come, with- lout necessity of, recopying: Proms. rent members of the bar who have examined this work declare it to be of the utmost value and importance affecting, as it does, title to hundred of millions of dollars worth of prop- erty in Allegheny County, and pxn- tecting the interests of business rien Jand home-owners of the covaty-the taxpayers who have the right to ex- pect official consideration.

Mr. Flar- ley in. ahnouncing as o candidate had the following to say: I’m takin the liberty of every citizen of this great country in announcing as a ‘candidate for Constable of the 5th ward. I have been approached in the last few weeks in efforts to stop me from running, but I wish to take this cpportunity to tell my friends that T'am in this fight to stay and can honestly say that I think I will win, TU have formed an organization of young men in every district in the Ward and these men will be-on the job on election day in my interest. If elected I will promise the voters cf the 5th ward a faithful adminis- tration. Shoaf Is ManFor There are times in the politica campaigns of Allegheny County when its Tooks very much as though this or that man is particularly and peculiarly suited or Pited for this or that office. To use the term of the ‘reformer’, “The Man and The Hout Cometti Together.” Such is the sta- tus affecting the candidacy of Char- es M. Shoaf of West Blizabeth, for the office of Clerk of Courts. ~ For a number of years Mr. Shoaf has actually administered the highly specialized machinery of the Court Clerk's office, with: d smoothness born of a nateraf fitness and exper- ence. He is known to the thousands of Jurors, Attorneys, Judges and persons having business with the ‘courts as the man on the job in the court room. Mr. Shoaf is asking for a promotion of the people of Alle- gheny County, a promotion not only deserved, but one which fits into the ‘American scheme of advancing the man who, has faithfully performed the work assigned to him. | The people will have little reason to worry about the public’s interest in the Clerk of Court's office, if they support Mr. Shoaf for the place. The Colored voters should take in- terest in the statement Mr. Shoat made recently to a representative of The Pittsburgh Courier to the ef- fect that the Race would continue is have representation in the office in the event of his clection..

His candidacy for renom- nation will be presented to the peo- te of Pittsburgh on the Republican Fallot at the primaries, September 18, ‘Mr. Winters has served about five years in Couneil, during which time he has been one of its leading mem- bers. At all times he has Kept in close touch with the daties of: the office he holds and it can well be said of him that he has proved him- self a capable, efficient and trust- worthy. man in a position where these three requisites mean much to tho. taxpayers. Mr. Winters’ an- nouncement follows: * “In submitting my candidacy, I do so with the absolute belief that the will of the people is supreme and that my,caniidacy will rise or fall through that sill. T also realize that with that will in my favor no po- litical ‘power or triarehy can prove sfeative against my candidacy. “Sy record in couneil,-.:.2 vats of which was made as president ox the body, has been # matter of daily notation in the public press which enables any one who has followed the councilmanic proceedings to readily determine whether or not I am worthy of any additional term. Four, years ago, on 2 non-partisan ‘ticket, T was elected in both primary and general election by the highest vote given any candidate and my aim has been that my service as a councilman would be such that it would offend against the better judgment of none -of these many Supporters. “It always has been my policy as a momber of council to vote as. I believed a great majority of | the people, influenced by the ‘right, Would have me vote. My’ course al- ways has been conscientious and 1 have aimed to make my services in the interest of the eity of Pittsburgh something of which afterward I should not feel ashamed. “My candidacy does not have the indorsement. of the mayor of the city, nor that of his political asso- ciates, a fact to which I call atten- tion rather than to have my friends rush to its support unaware that such course will be at the mayor's displeasure. As in the past I shall continue to regard the office of councilman as separate from leader- ship, influence or domination by the executive of the city, and, shal! coné tinue to believe the’ people fill the office expecting incumbents to be re- sponsible to them and in no manner subordinated to the will of the city’s exeeutive.” PINT Teena i eye rae ee Oe tds oe el Oe Sree ateten _ SOHN FRANCIES a Lo pa Le a SNS a Fen ree SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ; .., ” _ CONSTABLE - LEE HARLEY : Tried and Trus - — ‘ Gp Bias For Prothonotey Zoe) res, pe Vogt | = CER... faint a oe 2 TRAINED AND Cy EFFICIENT "JOHN vost eee enn nent nr mine Your Vote and Influence Respectfully Solicit z 7 (Political Advertisement) . hi fi i ° Qualitications * Much interest is being | shown lamong the colored voters of Alle- Igheny County over the coming Pri- Tmaries of the «Republican. party.

He is not now, nor has he ever been, interested in political jobs. He has not exercised any authority in making appointments. A few selections have been made after conference with hii, perhaps, but on the whole, he has devoted himself to re- building’the country’s financial system, and stabilizing world credit, He has done more to restore normal ‘production in all industries than any one member of the official family. Indeed, when he began work on his National Bank building at Pittsburgh, it was the signal for all kinds of business to take on new life and activity. When he started the new building, all other similar activities followed. The man has the confidence of the people as few men have it. He is as safe as a business guide as the country could ask, We is not a politician, except in the very largest sense, but he makes politicians serve him. ee ; “President Coolidge is a man of determination, of com- mon judgment, of a sense of right} justice and equity. This 4s-about alla" man‘ needs’to be President of the American people. President Coolidge, with the aid and advice of Mr. Mellon, could operate the machinery of the government with- out any noticable friction. Both men are firm; careful and calculating. Once they determine upon a course, the execu- tion is but a matter of time and form. Of course, there will be some politics in the government, even ifthese two great men unite for the common good of the government. But it can be said here and now that politics will not dictate to the government as much as the gov- ernment will dictate to the politicians. The union of.the two men will reassure business, encourage peace of mind among the people, allay suspicions, and contribute greatly toward the abolition of the general unrest all over the country. We hope to see these giant spirits put their united efforts to the wheel of American government i Woeood’e Side Not So Good Now that the “ther side’ of the Philippine story has been given.to the reading public, we are in position to- pass judgment on what facts we have, and that without ad- mitting that all the facts have been given to this country. It appears from the “Wood side” of the controversy that tho Philipinos are not ready to govern themselves. This report does not harmonize, however, with reports given out before the late Mr. Harding was President of the United States: As far back as 1916, when the Jones Act was Passed, it was generally circulated that the time had come to give the Islanders a trial at self government. It was the sense of those backing the Jones Act that the government was making ready the “independence of the Philippines.” We have learned that something has happened since the Jones Act was passed. We have not learned exactly what caused the delay, but there has beeh a change of mind on the “Inde- pendence” question. And the change came after: the pas- sage of the Jones Act. Indeed, it came after 1920, when President Wilson declared that the Philippines had shown themselves capable of operating a stable government.. The Republicans declined to subscribe to the Wilson point of view. In 1921, under the Harding administration, a commis- sion was appointed to “investigate the Philippines” and ré- port on their readiness to take over their own government. ‘The commission reported unfavorably, and soon, Gen. Wood, who had been one of the commissioners, was. appointed governor general. The Filipinos resented the unfavorable report, and resented the Wood administration. ' The feeling against Wood has been held in restraint until the recent break. It is now claimed that Wood does not permit any! Filipino to participate in governmental affairs, nor does he give them any opportunity to become experienced, in’ man- agement. He is charged with selecting a few of his own officers and favorites for the work he desires to do, and the Islanders are not consulted, nor called into conference. This attitude is the foundation 3f the complaint, and led to the resignation of the cabinet some time ago. The whole ques- tion: deserves investigation at the hands‘of this government. ‘We expect President Coolidge to say something on the ques- tion before very long.” The Guns Have Appeared Again Just a few Jweeks ago we-were reading in our morning papers of the very timely activity of the Superintendent o} Police in suppressing gun display in the windows of the shop Keepers along Wylis.- indeed, the popular avenue was made te look like armistice day after Superintendent Jones issued his order to Keep all guns out of sight. He was ardering every place to hide the guns. Guns were scarce on Wylie for a few days after the order. 7 But the dear people need not worry about the order. They had better begin to worry about the guns. The guns have all come hack to the windows, right where they were befor Mr. Jones ordered them all put out of sight. His order against gun display had all kinds of “power back of it” A Real American.

We stand-along the roped highways of our cities and towns and watch the steddy tread of the sons of toil. The banners speak for the variou: organizations; and until we rivit our eyes upon the personnel of the marchers, we are apt to think the banners represent every son who is willing to toil. But not so. There are sons of darker hue whose: horny hands represent over four centuries of toli on American soll. These sons are not a real part of organized labor. They are laborers, but not a part of America’s labor. The differencé has a distinction seen only when we go back of the banners held aloft by each marching organization. Labor Day ought to be the day on which Honest toil is eulogized by those who feed from the hands of the honest laborer. Every man who is willing to.work ought to be giver his equal opportunity, in the skilled lines. And until all men can join the ranks of the honest toiler for honest pay, we shall have a Labor Day void of real meaning, and rep- resentative only in a most modified sense. when it was issued, but now there seems to be no order, and no power anywhere to give one.

It is.reported that the committee has indicated that their report will show that this country leads all others in crimes committed,:both as to degree and number. ‘ This indicates that the world is run mad. Phobia has taken hold of America. In one form or another, the whole country scems to be suffering with crime germs. Murder, floggings, raids, lynchings, mobs, disorder, law violations and open rebellion against orderly government—these are some of the indications df the phobia. .. To account for the crime is but to satisfy ourselves of its prevalence. But we feel better when we can understand bat brings about certain conditions. Treatmentt is apt to be more effective when we know what caused the malady. It is probably the general belief of the people that the war left as much of the unrest we encounter day after day. Per- haps the war, the actual fighting, did distort the public con- science, but we are of the opinion that the war ended. too soon. . . f __._ When we say the war ended too soon, we mean in point of accomplishment. There was nothing decided by the flow of human blood. There was no decisive battle that was heralded as the “turning battle of the war.” There was nothing done by either side that could be taken as deciding for all time who actually won the usual victory saught iA battle. z A Bumper Crop: ‘Of Lawlessness (From the Pittsburgh Pregs) the reign of lawlessness which is sweeping-a large part ofthe Uaited States.

The Germans have never felt that they were shipped on the field. i When a war ends like the last one ended—with every one claiming victory, and-nothing decided at the point: of the bayonet, the soldiers leave the field mad, and they re- turn home mad, and they are secking blood.
