The Leading Weekly Journal in the State. NET EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS A VISIT TO PRINCE GEO CO.—AN AUTOMOBILE AND ITS PASSENGERS --- I left Richmond last Monday morning by the Seaboard Air Line for Petersburg, Va., in company with Rev. L. J. Morris On the train I met Mr. John W. Howard, who was on route to Dinwiddie, Va., for the American Beneficial Insurance Company. Arriving at Petersburg, we met Dr. Alexander, who seemed to be in the best of health. Then we went to see an undertaker, Mr. J. M. Wilkerson, the minister, Rev. W. H. Gill coming on later. While there, we met Reporter W. H. Major, and then Editor Mackey, of the Colored Virginian. That news publication is about to have its own printing plant, in the rear of the Wilkerson establishment two or more terrapins were sporting in a tub of water. I had regarded them with awe and had kept a respectable distance from their headquarters when Mr. Wilkerson entered. "Oh," said he, "they are harmless. They were caught by some fellows who fish about here. Sometimes they are caught with a hook and line and sometimes in a net. I think those were caught with a net. It takes two or three of their size to make a stew." MORE ABOUT THE TERKAPIN "When caught with a hook and line, how do you get the hook out?" I enquired. "I don't know," was the reply. He had put his hand to the tab and he took out one of the terrapins. "There are not diamond backs." he said. "What is the rolling price?" was my enquiry. "Oh, they sell for fifty or seventy five cents." He had to touch the head of the terrapin and it had drawn back in its shell. He put it back into the tab and I passed it to the front. A telephone call from Sir Thomas Freely told me that the automobile for the rule back to Salem Grove would be there in twenty minutes was gratis. (Nine information.) A QUESTION OF DISTANCES. It was fifty minutes before the party arrived. "How far is it to Salem Graveyard?" "Twelve miles," was the reply. There was a twinkle in Undertaker Wilkerson's eye as he said, "Fourteen miles," however we started off with Charley Stokes as chauffeur. Pretty Thomas gave the information as to which way to go, while Chauffeur Charley Stokes gave the "cheering" information that two automobiles had turned over on the road the day before. The middle road was said to be the best. It was quite sandy and at times the Ford car skidded, while White Morris admonished the chauffeur to be careful and not turn us over. HAD BEEN IN TROUBLE. "This car is so light that it will not require much to upset it." it said. Rev. Morris remonstrated, "you certainly know how to keep out of the holes." "You would know, too, if you had gone into one the way I did on the City Boint road last Tuesday night." said the chauffeur. "It took no time to get into it, but it took three quarters at an hour to get out again." Finally we reached the cross-roads where Mr. E. J. Graves had his store. A neat-looking comfortable building, surrounded by an iron fence, was located a short distance off. It contained a gallery and was quite cosy on the outside. A PROSPEROUS STORE-KEEPER. I took a nap at Mr. Graves' residence and we had dinner there. His store is made up of groceries, dry goods, soft drinks, hardware, boots and shoes and medicines. He has 4 12 acres of ground and he has a truck, garden. He has some distance away a farm of some 25 or 30 acres. He had the misfortune to break his leg some time ago, when a horse threw him. It had, been reset, but the country surgeon made a bad job of it. Still Mr., Graves does not seem to be inconvenienced in using it. A QUESTION OF CREDIT. I was somewhat amused at reading the following inscription upon the door of the Salem Grove country store. It was as follows: "Please don't ask for any credit until you have paid your old bill. When you have paid your old bill you can get more. M. J: Groves & Co." This brought to mind a story about a preacher who had sent a boy down to a grocery for more groceries. Unfortunately, he took for his text from the sayings of Paul and in the case of the sermon explained repeatedly "What did Paul say?" The boy unwittingly replied "He says he isn't givin' to send you no more groceries until you pay for what you got." A COUNTRY GRAVE YARD I wandered in the graveyard and joined. A colored man had developed a talent for making tombs stones of concrete sometimes called cement. At a distance they appeared to be of stone. The prices ranged from $5.00 to $25.00. There were many interments in this country cemetery. I talked with several countrymen as to the distance to Petersburg and the best road to get there. Some claimed the courtroad was the better road and others that the middle road over which we had come was the better. AN AUTOMOBILE AND ITS TROUBLES I let Preacher Gill settle it. He said he had come down the courthouse road the day before. The automobile lost one tire and after leaving the courthouse the car had been stripped of two others and came "limping" into Salem Grove on the rims and one tire. He had come with me over the middle road and he said it was the better of the two. For five miles to the courthouse, the road is bad, but after leaving there it is a fine road all the way to Petersburg. So far as I was concerned the preacher won and we went back by the road over which we had come. When I enquired the distance to Petersburg, most of the party said 12 miles. A QUESTION OF DISTANCE. One of the farmers said it was 12 miles from his house. When I asked him how far it was to his house, he said 2 miles. In returning I saw the Indian Church. There are many of these forgeries in this neighborhood. The women go barefooted and they do all kind of work, from farming to electric trambo. The automobile carried us without a hitch and when we reached the Atlantic Coast line the Ibid Rev. Gill adorned with Rev. L. J. Morris and I caught then & W R R fast train for Rohindu, arriving there at 6:45 where a few moments later I was in my office ready for boutique arabians. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1915 Ihuca, N. Y., May 12. Negro students at Cornell University are very much wrought up over the treatment accorded Harry C. Arrington, of the Jamaica, Long Island, high school, who visited Cornell as a member of the track team from Jamaica school entered in the Cornell Athletic Association track meet held on May 1 Arrington was entered in the 100-yard dash, but in some mysterious way, but evidently through connivance - between two white boys, his fellow mongrels on the Jamaica team, and the members of the Psi Sigma Kappa, at whose fraternity house the Long Island boys were billeted as guests, he failed to secure his track number, or satisfaction concerning it, and thus was prevented from running in the event for which he was entered. Investigation by The Age correspondent discloses the following facts in the matter. The visiting teams were to be entertained at the different fraternity houses, and the Jamaica team was assigned to the Psl Sigma Kappa, a wealthy organization, thoroughly innoculated with southern prejudice. A member of the fraternity was sent to meet the visiting athletes and when he also covered a colored boy with the team, he politely informed Arrington that his house had made preparation for two men only, but that an effort would be made to care accommodation for him at least at the local hotel. TRAMMATES WITHROAD INFORMATION Arrington, knowing at once the cause of that action, called to G. Dunning a long Island boy, a student at Cornell, who took up a guest. When seeking information on the phone from his teammate concerning the trip to the athletic field Arrington was told he would be called up shortly before he left. On check, the time for the meet. This was not done, so the colored boy made his way to the athletic field. Finding the director of the present Ashmead, inquiry was made about his track number. Ashmead informed him that the number had been given to the boy in charge of the Jamaica team. The team captain, when found told Arrington to get on the side line and he would talk to him later. Arrington, in his running form, made repeated efforts to get into the meet, but could not get neither his number or satisfaction. Ashmead has been interviewed by the Ace correspondent, and he received surprise that Arrington did not run, saying repeatedly that he had certainly given the boy's track number to the Jamaica team captain. The reputation borne by the fraternity chapter along the color line makes it very evident that pressure was brought to bear on the two white boys, guests at the fraternity house, to enter the conspiracy to prevent Arrington from competing. ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IS NOT BLAMED It is not thought that the blame attaches to the Cornell Athletic Association, since colored athletes have competed here a number of times, have been guests at other fraternity houses and been treated with the utmost courtesy and consideration. Granger, of Dartmouth, has competed here and was a guest of the Psi Upsilon. Jackson, of Harvard, was a guest of Alpha Delta, and Jenkins, another high school boy from Long Island, competed in the meet last fall and was a guest at one of the fraternity houses. Arrington was entered in the 100-yard dash, and on the record stood a good show of winning. The week before he had run second in the same event at the New York University meet, in 10.5, and this event at Cornell was won in 11.5.—The New York Age.

PRESIDENT PRAISES THE NINTH CAVLARY FOR WORK ON THE BORDER Colonel Gailfoyle Reads Letter from Secretary Garibson, 4: Which President Commends Regiment Heartily. War Department, Washington Ward I. The Commanding Officer North Cavalry, Decorate Ariz. Dear Sir By direction of the President, I table great praise in its possessing to the officer and other men of the North Cavalry in appreciation of their proud con- didact and efficient service in the environment of the United States national laws at Navy Ariz. during November and December and January last. Very respectfully, LENDLEY M. GATESSON, Secretary of War. The following letter was received by Colonel John Gintfellow commander of the Navy, Cavalry, and was read to the reiment yesterday morning. It is evident that a regiment in the United States army receive such commendation direct from the regiment, and the officers and men feel proud of the recognition given them. The letter was read by the colonel during the ceremony of "preservation" to the Stamford "when was held on the drill rounds at Sunnyside. After the regiment had presented sabres to its standard Colonel Gintfellow addressed them, making a soldier, and impressive speech. "When the regiment" came to Arizona, "explained the colonel, "it was not wanted. The people of Douglas were afraid it would be the source of trouble. Your conduct has been such that sentiment in the city has undergone a complete change, and the citizens are now asking the year department to keep the reiment here permanently. I am pleased with the record you have made." Colonel Guilloyle also complained the men on wiping they had done at Naco. The Ninth bore the full brunt of the trouble there, the troops patiently patrolling the line at the risk of their lives while stray bullets that in some instances seemed to be deliberately fired instead of stray, zipped past them, wounding and sometimes killing comrades and horses. It was enough to test the discipline of the finest army in the world, and the Ninth Cavarrymen stood it well. Officers and men both risked their lives repeatedly to assist Naco residents to places of safety. Not once was a complaint made against an officer or a soldier. The conduct of the regiment has now received the commendation from Washington that it deserves. After Colonel Guilloyle had read the letter from the secretary of war the regiment passed in review at the trot and gallop and was dismissed.

New York, April 19. During the last two or three years the war department has been paying more attention to the use of the sabre by our cavalry regiments than ever before. To this end, an officer of the Fifteenth Cavalry, Second Lieutenant George S. Patton, was sent abroad for a special course in instruction in fencing, and on his return was assigned to duty as instructor in swordmanship at the Mounted Service School, at Fort Riley, Kansas. Last summer the war department detained thirteen noncommissioned officers from as many regiments of cavalry to report at Fort Riley for a six months' course of instruction in swordmanship beginning October 1. The first thing the authorities found was that it was impossible to make good horseback fencers unless the men had well trained horses and were good riders also, even though the soldiers were experts with the foil, broadsword, and sabre on foot. The first thing the commandant of the Mounted Service School old was to inaugurate a complete course for these student soldiers in expedition, and to make it entirely thorough. The men were started at the beginning with the training of the foil, broadsword, and sabre on foot and then a remainder which the commandant had produced from a battalion in the fall of 1811. All of the men in the infantry were trained in the foil, broadsword, and sabre on foot. D. 2010年10月1日 Graduation exercises, were held in the riding hall of the Mounted Service School on March 31, as announced in the Evening Post last Saturday. The exhibition of jumping by the troopers reflected great credit on their instructor, First Lieutenant Berkley T. Merchant. Thirteenth Cavalry. The non-comissioned officers scattered on April 1st to their stations in all parts of the country. It is believed that in a few years these graduate sergeants and corporals will have a beneficial effect on the American cavalry. With the suspension of the great schools of equitation in France, Germany, Great Britain, Austria, and Russia, on account of the war, the Mounted Service School at Fort Riley becomes the foremost school of its kind in the world.

SCENES OF ACTION, court streets and houses in New York city; also a country place outside of New York near a state insane asylum. CHAPTER I The Master Mind At last the evidence of the law would careful and cautious in the defence demonstrated by your judge. It has found your guilty of murder in the degree. It is the capital against the law and for it the law demands the especial punishment. The defence is that you must not shyling a man within his own home was justified by the inwritten law shows the time due to death by by the order of the judge is maintained the affection of a wife, and therefore the penalty exerted by the written law should be abolished in behalf of one who has thus punished the violation of the constitution of the law. Yet though the staff of the law is dead in in this regard he has fully established this theory in the position of the unwritten law in which instance has not provoked. The law has seen it to disregard it compared and has rendered an unqualified verdict of guilt against you. It only remains, then, for the court to prosecute upon you. Henry Allen the extra penalty commanded by the law for the crime of which you have been found guilty. Then followed a strict interval of dreadful silence, through which, as always, the prisoner maintained his despair parate calm of despair. His demeanor abode immobile even while the judge stoke the few words that decreed a shameful death. Perhaps the palpit face grayed to a glistner hue, but there was no other sign, nor was there as he went shambling listlessly from the dock, oblivient to the leading of his warders. The bush that was still over the courtroom was broken by a gasping cry from somewhere in the crowd. A few close by him were aware that the sound had issued suddenly from the lips of an old man on one of the rear benches. For a few seconds it seemed that he was about to swoon. When, almost at once, the crowd began to press its way out, the old man went with the others, moving, indeed, with a briskness and a nervous energy that seemed surprising in one of his years, and doubly so in view of the emotional strain through which he had just passed. He pursued his way rapidly. That way took the old man mortally by the subway to Twenty-eighth 1930 Presents Andrew Allen a spring to his foot and begins pacing himself to and too hurtingting to himself disobediently the white. Though a man of intimate prescriptions, he had now fear lost he be overheard as from time to time he heard fragmentary suggestions of the ideas seeking in his fervent brain. In that house there were none to listen. He lived alone, absolutely not even a woman came on occasion to set the place in order. Andrew ceased his nervous pacing about the room presently and prepared for going out. He proceeded to the steps of a distractably displaced house and climbed three flights of stairs to the top story, where he fitted a key to the door of the back room and entered, carefully closing and locking the door behind him. A moment later the gaulish fared from the match he had struck and showed the desolate wall paper, threadbare carpet, thin, hummocks bed, rickety table, chairs and washstand. The whole air of the place was repellent, worse than poverty stricken. Only two things in the room tended in any wise, to contradict the general impression of apalor. On the wabby table stood a typewriter; to one wall a telephone was attached. It was the typewriter that first engaged Andrew's attention. The machine was small, very serviceable, but of a cheaper sort, in which the putting was done from --- A type-wheel having three kinds of characters. This wheel was readily detachable, and now the operator's first care was to remove it from its shaft and to bestow it in a pocket of his cont. From a pasteboard box beneath the table, he procured another type wheel, one that had never been used, and adjusted this to its place on the machine. Then he inserted a sheet of an ordinary cheap typewriter paper and proceeded to write in the forefinger manner of the novice letter. And he wrote with entire frankness, unafraid test the insultive betray him—his precautions were too carefully taken. Who was made and driving in every part, lower and higher alike. Yet, notwithstanding this personal interest, the letter itself provoked him to a lively curiosity. It held a silver of stark sincerity that made its threatenings vital evil. Forbes, from long practice sensitive to the receiving of impressions, was sure that the writer of this arragement meant every word; that the punishment of the district attorney would be compassed if it were humanly possible. Assuredly the prophecy was not one to be despised. But the physician allowed no hint of his disturbed thoughts to color his accomplice more when encounters immunity from discovery. As self he held a janitor of the Wallwright's was that within attorney's salinity at home there to live and leisure the owner to learn the vein to which the plotter had conceived must try to The greatest expert in machines would be unable to trace the peculiarities of a type used only on this single occasion, which would afterward, with its fellow already in his pocket, be cast into the waters of the North river. So Andrew wrote freely, venting in words the hate that dared not hit his heart, baring his bust for revenge with brutal virulence, for he wrote to Cortland Walnwright, district attorney. When he had finished writing Andrew went to the telephone and called a number. The connection was made quickly. "You recognize the voice?" he asked softly and very distinctly. "Well, then, you know the place. Come at once. There is work to be done. Yes, for the Master Mind." While he waited the coming of the one thus summoned Andrew took from his pocket a tiny mirror and a pencil and put a few lines to his face, which completely altered his expression. With the view of the cap drawn low over his brows he felt that his disguise was sufficient for the occasion. He smiled a little grimly as he thought of what would be the visitor's amazement could the man know that this messenger for the Master Mind here in the spacious room was in very truth the Master Mind himself. On the morning following the sentencing of Henry Allen, Dr. Porter, the outpatient specialist, whose austimium for the nightly diseased was famous throughout the occupied world, sat at breakfast with his friend, Cornell Waltwhitney in that unfortunate rath of compartment that bachelor apartment in upper Methode Avenue. The host, with the information of our intimacy, permitted himself during pauses in a deutility conversation to glance over the letters she had beside his plate. Presently he became so alerted in one of these that he had a question put to him by the patient who, mildly as tortured by the attention on the other, had looked up from his chest to catch the noise. At the same time Waltwhitney offered an ejaculation in disgust. Now the song of thing has gone far enough to be explained worthfully. His eyes flashed. "What the matter Certainly" "Forbes should be sympathised" "There was a professional soothing, quality in voice "Somebody else after your appointment, I suppose." "Wow, what should somberly, "Yes" be admitted to "now one, and the worst yet, which is saying a good deed to the latter doctor." "The all theotherapy was strengthened out the short of personal preceded to read the following communication about the short and local issues." ```markdown ``` You have taken my heart by your cruets, toward some I have. In turn, I shall tear you and crush it under my feet. I shall not hurry the work. Time will be required to make my vengeance complete. But delay on my part must not lead you to think that I have forgotten or reserved one what from my purpose. I inclose in this letter a white card. From time to time, wherever you may chance to be, you will receive a white card. When my plans are matured you will have warning of the fact given you in the form of a red card in place of the former white one. And, at the end, a black card will tell you that the hour of your punishment is at hand. Such Me My Trust Attitude, is the mat- ter between you and me THE MASTER MIND. Dr. Forbes listened to the reading of this extraordinary missive with close attention, which nevertheless did not prevent a professional consideration of the manner displayed by Wainwright under circumstances so unusual and so similar. He observed with keen appreciation the fundamental strength with which his friend met the attack. The anger was no more than an evidence of wholesome virility resenting injustice. Under that curry of wrath the character of the man showed undismayed. The physician found a new satisfaction in his friendship. Since his vacation drove him daily to connect with the unfit, with those diamond of body or of mind, or of both, he found a singular pleasure in companionship with one Who was more still shuffling in every part, lower and higher alike. Yet, notwithstanding this personal interest, the letter itself provoked him to a lively curiosity. It held a sword of stark sincerity that made its threatenings vitally evil. Forbes, from long practice sensitive to the receiving of impressions, was sure that the writer of this appraisal meant every word; that the punishment of the district attorney would be compassed if it were humanly possible. Assuredly the prophecy was not one to be despised. But the physician allowed no hint of his disturbed thoughts to color his tones as he spoke with an air of almost perfunctory interest: "And who is the Master Mind, Cortland?" "The Master Mind," he explained clearly, "is an enigma and a penance. He is, in fact, the most interesting and the most dangerous criminal working today." "Then you know something of him?" "To my sorrow," the district attorney admitted grimly, "Why, the fel low has been back of some of the biggest crimes committed recently. And, to make the history still worse, he has been back of others for years. And that all I, or anybody else apparently knows, He is a mystery to me, to the police, even, as it would seem, to his tools themselves." "But surely he must have been at rested, convicted, for some of his crimes." Wainwright shook his head. "The authorities of the law have never even got to the initial point of unsuspecting his identity." "Do you really believe that the tel low is serious, that he will"- "Withwright bowed a note affirmative answer to the holding question. Finally he said: "This man is unlike others who have threatened me. For Henry Allen's ```markdown ``` "The Master Mind is the most danger criminal today." sake he has lies. He means to be re- vengeal for Henry Alvis's death. And what the Master Mind plans he complains that he's record through years of crimes. Now he sends me white coat to watch me that I am to pay the penalty of my offense against him." Walters it picked up the square of cardboard and registered it curiously "It does not form forgable," he went on, turning it over to show the blank surfaces. It is to serve merely as a reminder to me that the Master Mind has not forgotten his purpose toward me. There are other blank cards to come, merely reminders. But by my, the Master Mind says here, there will come a red card to warn me that the object time is near at hand. And then that there will be a black card to tell that the time is come for the Master Mind to strike me down. No, I am not afraid now. But when the black card comes" - CHAPTER II. IN the weeks immediately following the conviction of Henry Allen the brother of the condemned set him self with fanatic zeal to preparations that should lead to the consumption of the vengeance on Carland Walnwright. To the achievement of this purpose the Master Mind put in operation the myriad methods of the underwield with which he was familiar for the gathering of information in detailed completeness concerning the private life of the man whom he regarded as his enemy. Through various subterranean channels at his command, knowledge flowed in. He learned essentially all there was to know of Walnwright's family, of his boyhood, of his life in school, in college, and afterward in the world of affairs, where, though still a young man, he had won distinction from the respectful liking of his fellows. But the Master Mind found no soience in sitting the mass of material thus placed at his command concerning the foe. From all the evidence the truth appeared incontestable that Cortland Wainwright had lived a clean life; that there was no stigma of scandal hidden within his experience to be fearfully guarded from the public eye. Finally, when all other methods of search had availed naught, the departure of his intended victim for a vacation trip to Europe inspired him with a plan of action characteristically audacious. His resolution soon taken. Andrew Alast lost no time in the accomplish- ment of his arduous. He was pursued of money again, and still he will Accomplish modern miracles, especially when unaccompanied by a guarantee of immunity from any ill consequences of discovery. As a messenger for him self he held an interview with the janitor of the building in which was Walwright's apartment. The result was that within a week of the district attorney's sailing the Master Mind was angry at home in his enemy's house, there to live and there to study at his leisure the owner of the place, there to learn the vulnerable point toward which to drive attack, for, now, the plotter had come to believe that he must seek to trip his quarry by some device against the strength of the man's nature, since he could discover no vital weakness anywhere; against the good qualities, since the evil were of a kind too trifling to serve. Other doers in the building never guessed that a stealthy guest lurked in the apartment which the district attorney had left unattended for the period of his trip abroad. By day as well as by night the shades remained drawn. Over the whole inner surface of the windows, Andrew had arranged light proof coverings, through which no least ray from the electric lamps could penetrate to give a hint of his occupancy. A very slight opening of the windows gave him sufficient fresh air, and throughout the hours of day as of darkness the artifical illumination suffaced him. Indeed, the Master Mind found himself strangely content in this curious sort of intimate association with the man against whom he maneuvered so craftily. He experienced a subtle, sinister joy in feeling this nearness to happiness which was the product of the surroundings. Here were the books Watnweight read, the letters he received, the pictures he esteemed, the various adventures he most cherished. In the assembling of the varied articles within this home, there must be a massing of testimony from which to judge the inner, vital nature of the owner. It must easily be that some record would suggest the precise course to bring down on him shame and despair. Having thus modeled circumstances to his will, the Master Mind spent two weeks in exhaustive research into the mind and heart of Walnwright as they were respectively indicated by his personal accumulations. His palmstaking investigations, conceived Andrew of two facts that were beyond question the first, that the young lawyer had a heart capable of tenderest affections as was witnessed by the letters from mother and sister, which were to one manifestly fond, the second, that he ruled his life according to the dictates of a lofty ambition. Convicted of the twain truths, the Master Mind determined broadly the manner of his attack. It must be the contriving of some situation that would strike its agent into the deeps of the man's being, something to wound beyond ready both brain and heart. The exact plan could be left for future arrangement, depending on facts yet to be marshaled. And then, within twenty-four hours, the Master Mind came on the thing he sought. This was a journal, with entries covering a number of years, in which Waltweight had jotted down roughly nine of many things. Andrew he early found it in one of the bachelor drawers of the deck in the district attorney's office. The searcher blamed the theft on the volume hastily he had mistaken no more than a couple of days after the onset of his readiness. The items were uniformly of a burton blind, notes concerning cases, financial statements, and estimates belief of otherities of times, some mention of a few trifling illnesses, reference to particular events of public personal interest. There was, for example, a rather honest account of an automobile accident in which Waltweight had been related nearly a year ago in Chicago. Already Andrew had received a circumstantial history of this happening from one of his agents. So, on his first scanning of the diary, he had merely read enough of the entry to learn the nature of the event described therein and had omitted the remainder of the narrative. Now, at last, he returned to the journal and read it slowly and attentively without missing a word. When finally he was come to a full scrutiny of the Chicago episode in the life of Wainwright he was suddenly filled with joy, unholy in its exultation. Wainwright himself had put the weapon in his hand! The text of the entry as well as the date showed that the account had been written after the district attorney's return to New York. The narrative ran in this form: New York, April 20, 2001 I ran into a heap of trouble on my Chicago trip. Father, Billy Clarke's chauffeur, the running into something. Biering on the curb, I into curb and over we went. The chauffeur got a broken leg, and my rib-gaste mussed up a lot. But the serious part was a cut in my wrist where the broken wind shield sliced open the artery. The chauffeur was pinned under the machine. The artery was cut, and thing. As the doctor told me in the hospital, a severed artery can get in its work might quick. It was just a fluke that saved me. No, I don't mean that. I suppose it was Providence. The fact is, it was a girl. The other women on the scene had hysterics and were worse than good for nothing. And the men ably secluded them. But there was one girl. I'll underline that, I guess. I write it: *The Girl*. Well, when she saw the blood spurtting out in jets that were sending me to kingdom come-in a hurry, she didn't run, or even run. Anwarrow, she didn't run out of memory of seeing her darting toward a heard a little cry from her, a painful kind of cry. I wondered why she cried out like that. For my part I didn't seem to care much about what might happen to me. But she did. She moved the lighthearted, notasted movement. In a second she had fallen on a white cloth torn from her portside, when she bound around my arm above the wound. The half of my walking stick, which was lying broken beside me, was seized by her and thrust, through the hands to serve as lever in the tournement to to my two seams from the time I drew out jumping blood flow once. It may possibly have been as much as six seconds. I suppose. Not one more. I swear. And she prayed that I till I was safe in the greenhouse. She moved my life. But there's more than that. So I. Oh. But there's more than that to it. Oh, there's more magic. Maybe we'll find it. 1 The One Girl. I look, well, it may as well get what relief I can by putting my confession in writing. For the matter of that I made the confession already—when I wrote in that article and underlined: The One True Tale that funny and underlined: The One True Tale that funny—and that little girl I never said a word to in my life and only saw for a few seconds. Just the same, she plumped right into my heart as no woman ever did to before or will again. She stays by me in muse. When I sent my eyes to her, I saw her laugh. Yes, she's the one woman for me that said, Anatomy might think it fossilized of me to have a girl of whose I know nothing. But the fact is I know about her. Her face has taught me a lot, and her eyes tell me things, wonderful things, beautiful things. I had never dreamed. Just the beauty of her would be enough to excuse a man for adding her. When her face was like a flower, only a them sand times heavier, so daunting in its lines so delicate in its coloring, so pure in its expression. And those gorgeous eyes, deep blue, like the sky when it's bluest. But after all, beautiful as her face was, "I was a delicate beauty that went to my burrow in the first glance at her, that her burrow in the first over since, will burn there while in bed, but I was the cost of her that called to my soul. And she grew that her self could to mine there in those few moments of our morning." And she knew. "Oh, so must have known." That day I was presented enough on a per, though I kept it up by my thought whenever I think of her whom is pretty close to a time. And to think the old man is now a new name. All my own ideas are now a new name. I am pleased that I am somehow ill and be ill. That's destiny. That was the end of the passage. The Master Mind sat erect and cried the book from him with a hoarse cry of triumph. His eyes glittered in savage delight, his lips bent to a mocking smile in which was remembrance cruelty. After a moment he lifted his gaze to the panel sketch of a girl, which set within an oval frame of gold, him, on the wall above the desk. The picture was in truth rather crudely done. Nevertheless there showed in it, despite the clumsiness of the craftsmanship, a definite suggestion of fondness, which was inexpressibly blurring. Even Andrew recognized the tender patience of the spell exercised by this unknown girl, but he resisted its softening sway; thoufted it with hate for the man that leveled her. He nodded toward the picture with malevolence. "So Wet, weight confident find you be mutilated." "Well, I can. And you my lady, shall be my pawn in the game." The impudent man had a venomous gleam in his eyes as these thought ran through his brain. He had a wonderful capacity for using other people for his own purposes, and he was determined to demonstrate it thoroughly. The Master Mind took measures once to make good his boast. With scrupulous integrity he restored Walwright's apartment to the order in which he had found it. Then, his work there accomplished, he left the place and boarded the fastest train for Chicago. On his arrival in that city he devoted himself at once to his quest for the mysterious mansion. With a few modifications of his personal appearance he undertook in person a painstaking minute search throughout the neighborhood where had occurred the automobile accident. In an adjacent side street of none too savvy a character he at last came on a street urbion who had been present at the time of the incident and who, moreover, possessed some information that might serve as a clue to the identity of the ministering girl of that occasion. The boy had seen her at other times, both before and after the accident, in a quiet and respectable neighborhood a few blocks further down the street. He cheerfully guided Andrew to the vicinity. The Master Mind was hugely elated by this initial success. A garrulous woman, who took a frank interest in all her neighbors, welcomed his questions and answered them with the positive information he sought. She had long known the girl by sight. She had heard of what had happened at the time of the automobile accident. As the girl's home was only four houses away from her own, she had had no difficulty in learning the name—Margaret Flint. "But she's gone from here now," the woman concluded; "been gone for three months. You see, it was this way," she explained: "Her father was pretty poor, just a house painter, and his health so bad he couldn't get work most of the time. Her mother was dead, and there wasn't any other children. And then her father died. It was after that she went; had to couldn't pay the rent. And that's all I know." The Master Mind finally, however, succeeded in tracing Margaret Flint to the house of a prosperous merchant. where abe had secured employment as a nursemaid for two small children. There Andrew had an interview with the girl herself. At his first glance into her face he was forced to lively appreciation of her loveliness. Then the girl voiced a response to his greeting, and instantly the spell was broken. A keen critic might perhaps have detected a musical resonance in the tenor.

Colonel Calls For Immediate Ban on All Teuton Commerce. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, at Syracuse, N. Y., announced what action, in his opinion, this country should take toward Germany because of the sinking of the Lusitania. Mr. Roosevelt earnestly said that the time for deliberation was past, and that within twenty-four hours this country could and should take effective action by declaring that all commerce with Germany forthwith shall be forbidden and that all commerce of every kind permitted and encouraged with France, England and "the rest of the civilized world." Mr. Roosevelt said that for America to take this stop would not mean war, as the firm assertion of our rights could not be so construed, but he added that we would do well to remember that "there are things worse than war."

Washington As He Sweeps Through City on Noc- tiological Study of the New York Negro—Addresses Four Large Meetings—Tells the Negro to Be Proud of His Race—Prepare For Foreign Invasion. Is His Advice To Race Living In Large Cities —Keep the Body Clean and Fit, He Tells Young Men—Major Mot- ton and Delegation of Prominent Men of Both Races Accompany Dr. Washington Through City— 5,000 Cheer the, Educator at Peace Casino. City, Cleveland G. Allen, Allen's Nat- ional News Bureau, 252 West 3rd Street. New York, May 17. The strong and inspiring personality of Booker T. Washington dominated this city last Sunday as he swept through the city on a sociological excursion to study the New York Negro in a speaking campaign that covered tour of the largest meetings, ever seen in this section. Never before have so many men and women of the race been seen together as was evident at the large meetings addressed by Dr. Washington last Sunday. It was Booker Washington Day, and the sound adduce and time admonition given by the educator to his race in this city will live long after the educator is gone. The personality of the great educator loomed up above everything in this city last Sunday and the 100,000 Negroes of this busy Metropolis took the city on to give the League the ovision that had been reserved for him since the announcement was made that he would make a speaking campaign of the city. Dr Washington, addressing the large centers, told his hearers to be proud of their race, make up your mind where you are going to settle prepare for the foreign invasion that is liable to come to this nation after the war, and husband your strength and resources. He warned the race against initiating the white man, told the women who are married to take their husbands into partnership with them and covered every point of attack to which the race is liable to be approached. The tour was approached. The tour was arranged by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, of which R. K. Jones is associate director, and an organization which is doing much for the sociological and cultural needs of the Negroes. bountiful spot on the park. Dr. Washington was acquainted through the city by Major R R. Motton, of Hampton, Fred R Moore of The New York Age Dr. E. P. Roberts, David D. W. Motton, son of the educator, Lyman Beecher Stowe, grandson of Harriet Beecher Stowe, Louis Baldwin the third son of Mrs. W. H Baldwin, the well known philanthropist J. E. Clarke, L. H. Wood, R. W. Thompson, the well known Washington correspondent, and Cleveland G. Allen, of Allen's National News Bureau. The first step in the tour of the city was at the Union Baptist Church, in West Siktyhird street of which the Rev. Dr. G. H. Simms is pastor. This district is known as Columbus Heights and has undergone a marvelous civic transformation within the past ten years. A large audience awaited the Washington party when it arrived. Dr. Washington was presented by Major Moton, who was presented by Dr. Simms. Major Moton, who was the life of the Washington party, presented Dr. Simms, the pastor of the church. Dr. Washington took occasion to praise Dr. Simms for the constructive work that he has done for the civic uplift of the community within the last ten years. He said in part: "This is a very busy time for me, but I am always willing to snatch the time and spend the day in New York speaking to my race. Whether we live in the North or South we are one people, for what concerns you here in the North concerns us here in the South. Each group upholds the other group. I want to take the opportunity of praising The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes for the splendid work it is doing for the moral and civic uplift of the race in this city." Launching out into his subject, Dr. Washington said: "My advice to my race is to settle down some where. Fundamentally no people can make much progress until it settles down." Dr. Washington urged his hearers to prepare themselves for the keen competition that must meet within a large center like New York and other cities of the North. • This can be done only when the body is kept fine and fit, he said. The next step was at the Palace Casino at 135th street and Madison, located in Harlem, where live 45,000 members of the race. When Dr. Washington and his party, rammed the Casino they formed an audience of 5,000 people who observed the educator as he assembled the restroom. To look but in that magnificent audience of 5,000 people and see the wares of handicrafts and to witness a natural demonstration, they faced the plaza Dr. Washington and in --- the hearts of his race. At this point the high water mark in point of enthralmium was reached. The success of this meeting was helped largely by the co-operation of the business and professional men of the city. On the rostrum were well known business and professional men like Rev. James Martin, Charles W. Anderson, J. Reese Europe, Reverend James Thomas and others. A feature of the meeting was the music furnished by the Musical School Settlement for Colorud People under the direction of Rosemond Johnson. At this meeting Marcus Marks, president of the Borough of Manhattan presided. Rev. J. W. Brown offered prayer. Mr. Marks, in his opening address, said that the Negro race was laboring under conditions similar to his race. the Jew. He told of his effort to open markets in the neighborhood, in order that all might profit. He made a plea for democracy and said that all men irregardless of race deserved the same treatment for their merit. In presenting Dr. Washington he called him the Moses of the race. He said he showed his appreciation for Dr. Washington several years ago by inviting twenty-of-its intimate friends to meet him. Dr. Washington rose in the midst of tremendous applause and with the large audience receiving him on his feet. He began by saying: "I count it a happy privilege of speaking before this group. I want to congratulate Mr. Marks for saying that he was proud of being a Jew. That is just the advice I always give my race, to be proud of their race." Continuing, Dr. Washington said: "The problem of moving one people from one section to another, and to have them adjust themselves to political, social and economic change which they will meet with in coming to a strange community is one of the greatest problems confronting all races." Dr. Washington said the Negro had met this condition in a masterful way which has challenged the admiration of the world. The educator in the world, the educator told the race living in Harlem not to tiltate the white man, or to be other than one's self. Dr. Washington said as great as the problem is in this country for the Negro, it does not begin to compare with the conditions he found in Southern Europe where the lot of the common man was worse than the American Negro. "I want the 14,000 members of our race in the city to prepare themselves for this new condition which they are with in the North. Dr. Washington said the South was the best place to work out one's destiny, but those who choose the North should prepare themselves for the new condition they must meet. The next stop in the library was the Abysalia Baptist Church, in West Fortieth street, of which Dr. A. C. Powell is pastor. Hery, another large gathering awaited Dr. Washington. He received the same ovation which he received at the other meetings. This meeting was under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian Association, and also two Y. M. C. A., and there was a large dedication present from these two organizations. This meeting was one of the most interesting and enthusiastic of the series. Rey Dr. R. C. Ransom editor of the Quarterly Review, presided. Major Moton, in a brief address full of witticism, kept the large audience in continual state of laughter. He told of the recent tour of Dr. Washington through the State of Louisiana, where he met with such cordial receptions from the white citizens of the State. He told how Dr. Washington in the heart of the South, pointed how injustice, especially laughing, was bound to react upon the white man as well as the black man. Jubilee songs were sung by the New York Female Quarterie. Dr. Washington at this point told of the great need of agencies like the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A. that are doing so much for the uplift of the race. He called attention to the problems that confront young men and women of the large cities of the North. He made a plea for a better home life among the Negroes of large cities, and said that one of the most severe problems that confronted the young girls of the large cities is the problem of lodgers. "In many cases," said Dr. Washington. "there are lodgers in certain homes that have no business whatever around virtuous girls." Dr. Washington warned the young women present against young men who were flashy in their dress and who were in many cases, without visible means of support. The last meeting of the scribes was held in Brooklyn at the Concord Baptist Church, of which Rev. William Moas is pastor. At this meeting fully 1,500 people that easily overcrowded the edifice, with hundreds clambering for admission on the outside were present. This was an enthusiastic, tribute to the educator, and brought to a close one of the most remarkable speaking campaigns that has ever been arranged for any public man of this nation. At the Brooklyn meeting Rev. W. M. Moss presided. The choir, under Mrs. Daley Tapley, furnished special music. Dr. Washington, in his Brooklyn address, praised the colored citizens of that town for the work they are doing for the uplift of the race. He paid a tribute to Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, and N. B. Dodson, of the American Press Association as men who were contributing a distinct service to the uplift of the race through the press. Dr. Washington went over many of his pots emphasized in his address during the day. Throughout the address Dr. Washington was honored with great reverence, hundreds standing throughout the service. The evening service brought to a close doubtless the most thrilling campaign that has ever been undertaken by a private citizen. pagen in good voice and appeared fresh and vigorous as when he made his first address at 11 o'clock. As the result of this campaign through New York a new start will mark the effort of the Negro in this city. As the result of the trip the work of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes will be better known and will enhance the work of this organization to a greater extent. It was a notable and epoch-making tour, and Dr. Washington has planted himself further into the hearts of the colored population of this city. Dr. Washington was seen by your correspondent last Monday morning and expressed himself as being pleased with the enthusiastic outcome of the trip. He left Monday evening for Rochester. COLUMBIA, S. C. COLUMBIA, S. C. Columbia, S. C., May 17.—I had been quite busy during the week and on Sunday morning it appeared that my entire system had withered. Although it is quite a rarity for me to be found in bed as late as 6 o'clock A. M. at any time during the year, on this occasion I found it exceedingly convenient to viblate and set inside this anaclit practice. When the clock struck ten I found myself on North Main street waiting for a College Place car. Between the winking of my eyes and the coming of my thoughts a car slipped by, so I was kept waiting about 30 minutes. But at last I took my departure from the city of Columbia for the day. I found the car filled with people, mostly colored, on route for Crane Creek and Saint Paul Baptist Churches, a few miles north of the city. It was 11:15 when I reached the church. I found a good crowd of people waiting for services to commence. Soon lbs. Myers announced the opening hymn and service began. Rev. J. M. Myers preached quite an able sermon. Explaining the supernatural power of God in contradistinction to power of man. After the collection Rev. Myers introduced me. I spoke a few minutes and was royally treated after service. Senior Deacon, Brother Robert Richardson, directed that Brother Owens take me home and care for me. Brother Owens, several other gentlemen and myself walked about three-fourths of a mile from the church. I at once seated myself on the porch and above the door wrote Alabama. We all chatted quite pleasantly. Soon Mrs. Carlo Owens called us to dinner. I sat at the head of the table and invoking Divine blessing I readjusted myself and settled down to business. The first sip at the fountain qualified me to judge the water was pure and that the participants would long remember the occasion. I ate heartily of the sweet-prepared meal. I very much enjoyed the dinner. I was so very well prepared. At the close Mrs. Owens asked me to visit her again. Such a meal as that extends its own invitation I said to Mrs. Owens. But such lemon pie and what a pan of macaroni, among the best I have ever eaten. These are fine people. I left them at 5:30 P. M. for the city. I had planned to speak at Nazareth Baptist Church afternoon and Ladsonist Bresbytian Church at night, but found I was too late for evening service, and after making several calls found myself at Mount Zion Baptist Church, where Rev. J. C. White is pastor. Here I met an immense crowd of people. Rev. McNeill, of Ridleyway, spoke, after which the pastor introduced me. I made a short talk to these Christian workers. Rev. J. C. White, their pastor, to a fine man and is giving his people excellent service. On Sunday P. M. I called at the home of Mr. R. W. Jackson on Pine street. Mr. Jackson clerks in the city post office and does most of his shopping in the time, so I found Mrs. Jackson and the children at home. A glass of water, please, and another. We chatted for quite a while. Soon Miss M. A. Howell and idea came. Miss Howell is a clerk in the insurance office of Dr. A. P. Dunbar, of Columbia, and is the picture of health. She is a very fine woman and is worth looking at. Her conversation is pleasant and agreeable. Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Mix soon afterward stopped in. They brought their baby, who was a little indisposed. Mr. Mix is a city mail carrier and enjoys the confidence of all. Mrs. Jackson was a Miss Allen, of Greenville, S.C. I stopped at her home last summer and became very favorably impressed with the family of which her father, Rev. Allen, is head. I left Columbia on Monday at 1:20 P. M. for Newberry. Now, at 4 o'clock, I am at the home of Mrs. Boyd. Rev. Kirkland is quite a fine man and is held in high esteem by his people. I called at Rev. A. P. Dunbar's insurance office in Columbia, and talked a few minutes with his lady clerks. Misses Johnson, Ponsett, Miss M. A. How II and others. I called also at the office of Mr. Rutherford and met Mr. Rutherford, Miss Murphy and others. BIG CROWD THERE Colored Man Wins. (Reciprocal News Service from the Alaska American Lodge) Afro-American Ledger), Baltimore, May 17.—A crowd of nearly two thousand rooters saw Robert Karl Johnson, running for Morgan College; this city, win the second annual modified Marathon Race, (five miles), held under the auspices of the Afro-American Ledger, with the sanction of the A. A. U. Daniel E. Boley, who finished second, running for the Tea Rose Social, also of this city, compelled the winger to play second. Saddle during the early part of the race and might have won but for having not with an accident a few weeks before the man which somewhat imitated his unusual condition. Do You Want an Umbrella?

A., Dunnar A. C., Saint Mary's A. A., Morgan College, Monark P. C., Tea Rose S. C., Chef Jr. P. C., Phalanx P. S., Golden Arrow P. C. and the high School, all of this city. The thirty-four entrants who started from the scratch took the course along Park Heights avenue for about two miles through the surburbs of the city, and then through Drift Hill Park, and along several of the city streets, finishing in front of the Arore American building. The winners of the race did not separate themselves from the other runners, until they neared the park, when Bohoy took the lead, with Johnson, the winner second, and Thomas F. Jones, winner of last year's Marathon, third. Just after leaving the park, however, Johnson forged ahead of Bohoy, and Jones seeing his chances of victory vanishing, dropped out of the race entirely, while James Fainey, a seventeen-year-old lad running for the Dunbar A. A., moved up to third place. These places they maintained until the finish, Harry A. Boulding, running for the Washington Y. M. C. A., and Aaron Boulding for Howard University, finished fourth and fifth respectively. Winner's time, 33 minutes, 25 seconds. The club trophy awarded to the club having the most men to finish within the first 10 was awarded to Dunbar A. A. they having three to finish in the select class. The games committee consisted of Llewelyn Wilson, Bernard Webb, I. N. Ross, Jr., Daniel and Arnett Murphy, S. S. Booker, of the Y. M. C. A., and D. O. W. Holmes, of the Colored High School, were judges. THE CHRISTIANBURG STATE SUMMER SCHOOL Up In The Mountains. If you are planning to attend a Summer School why not go to a place where there is comfort as well as profit. The month of July is hot and at best studying at most places is a burden. At Christiansburg, however, on the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains, two thousand-feet above the sea, study becomes a delightful recreation. The faculty has been carefully chosen and it is the most competent that could be secured. The work will be principally a review of the subjects upon which teachers will be examined, and the STATE EXAMINATION will be held at the close of the Normal. Rates are reasonable. First class accommodation. Facilities are limited. Only those who apply in advance and pay a part of their bursary will be sure of accommodation. Better attend it today. Write to H. A.

My first impression of the Commander-in-Chief of the German armies in-Chief the East was that Field Marshall von Hindenburg's pictures have done him an injustice. There is no denying that his photographs create the impression of a tremendously strong face, ruthless almost to the point of cruelty. But the camera falls utterly to catch the real Hindenburg. His is a face tremendously strong, with chin that is almost as a footboard of the width that means power, and there is a firmness to his little blue eyes; all these things the camera shows. It does not show the twinkle in the eyes; nor does it show the kindness that lurks in the wrinkle of his warty, weather-battened skin. It falls utterly to depict the pleas- ant smile that his small, sharply cut mouth can show. Sixty-eight years you are thinking in amazement! This man does not look more than fifty. All his faculties seen at their zenith. His nose is the nose of a nuggle, and it impresses you with wonderful alertness. There is much color in his mustache, a tawny shade, a lace- curving, but rather peaceful-looking mustache that has the awkward margin of the Emperors. Sensually are his shoulders that I thought at first that his close- cropped gray head was perhaps a little small. But it is a typically round, German head, of the strong mold that you see in the pictures of Durer and Holbein. WITHOUT OSTENTATION. Von Hindenburg impressed me as being a big man physically and mentally big, though I had heard of his suffering with the gout; that he was a decrepile invalid, who was called from a sick bed to save East Prussia. But simply dressed in field gray, wearing only the order PoPur le Merite, beaten upon him by the Emperor for his marvellous skill in the Russian drive, Paul von Beneckendorff and von Hindenburg has the directness and simplicity of men of real greatness. He is wholly without ostentation, and in conversation than many in a younger officer who only sports the second class of the Iron Cross. He eats simply and he works hard. Dinner at von Hindenburg's headquarters consists of soup and one course, around an undecorated table with ten officers. He likes a good wine, when he is drinking a toast he takes his glass of champagne at one gulp, to the despair of some of his younger officers. The dinner hour showed him to be very lively. He likes stories where the wit is keen; also he is not a Puritan. He avoids talking military matters and seems at dinner to have thrown off all regionsibilities. Indeed it is with difficulty that von Hindenburg can be induced to say anything about the war. After he has agreed with you that the French are fighting bravely and that everybody in Germany is sorry for them, after he has urged with exaggerated seriousness that the Austrian officers are efficient, after he has echoed the curse of the German nation for England, he will discuss the Russians. WHY RUSSIA HAS FAILED "The Russians are good soldiers," he said. "They are well disciplined. But there is a difference between their discipline and ours. The discipline of the German army is the result of education and morale. In the Russian army it is the dumb obedience of an animal. The Russian soldier stands because he is told to; but he stands like one transfixed. Napoleon was right when he said, 'It does not do to kill a Russian; he must also be thrown down.'" "The Russians have learned a good deal since the Japanese war. They are very strong in fortifying their positions on the battlefield and understand excellently how dig trenches and lay an army as soon as they choose their position they disappear under the ground like moles. Our soldiers had to learn how to do that, too. Our soldiers did not like it. They like to fight in the open, to storm and to have it over with. But I had to make them wait in position until I was ready. "We are not afraid of the Russian superiority of numbers. Russia is vast but not as dangerous as it looks. The modern war is not decided by numbers. In East Prussia we have broken the Russian Empire. Every time they outnumbered us as three to one. An army is not a horde of uniformed men. An army must have good guns, ammunition and brains." MAKING WORLD HISTORY. When the dinner is over and 'K is drawing near to 11 o'clock you get ready to go, for you have heard that around midnight von Hindenburg generally has "something to do." It is said that he works hard at that hour. And as you leave the quiet home it dawnes upon you that the little threads of wires leading out from the windows connect with the different army corps headquarters and that somewhere to the east under the Russian right wing armies are advancing and that the cities, with whom you have been exposed to poison ly are the leaders of these arycles and that the thing they are making is called the history of the world. An American "movie man" "once induced von Hindenburg to stand before a camera. He did it in a way that made you think of the old J. P. Morgan who wanted to smash every camera he saw. For only a few seconds did von Hindenburg walk in front of the movie machine, but when that picture was shown in a Borlin theatre the audience broke into wild applause. Von Hindenburg is a big man in Germany, a much-adored folk rivals the Kaiser. The Germans have a new war poem that you hear recited in the music-halls. It tells of different German generals, heroes of the war, and it ends, "but there is only one Hindenburg." Idol of the people, colossus of the battlefield, von Hindenburg - goes quietly about his work, unconcerned with any of the popular clamor. It is said that one of his staff officers was in great indignation because a high order of war had been conferred upon a general who had been a warrior in lightning or big battledirection in the west. The loyal officer mentioned this to von Hindenburg, and the old warrior said: "I don't care how many orders they give out so long - as they let me alone out here." PERFORMS HUGE TASK. His task is to keep Russia from invading Germany. It is obviously a huge undertaking. During the period of his retirement, which came in 1911, he began to study the farm lands of East Prussia, socketted with the lakes and swamps. This was to be the battleground of an inevitable war with Russia. He began to take an interest in the knight he knew every square mile by heart from Koenigberg on the battle down through the network of lakes south of Tannenburg. On paper he fought there a thousand different campaigns. In his classes at the War Academy, where he was an instructor, he became known as "The Old Man of the Swamps." He used to go around Berlin with a folder of maps, and any officer who could him plow the dams and then lead the Mausurian Lakes. He became so obsessed with this subject that officers fled at his approach. They began to call him "Swampy" Hindenburg. LOST FAVOR WITH KAISER There came a day when von Hindenburg was appointed umbrella of a big maneuver in East Prussia. The Army of the Red—so the story runs—was commanded by the German Emperor, opposing him was the Army of the Blue. The sham battle ended rather undeservedly. The Emperor and all the lesser generals met in the center of the Crown Prince to hear the criticisms of empire von Hindenburg. Hindenburg, tore the reputation of the general of the Blues to tatters. He demonstrated that this officer had made the grossest blunders. It occurred to the Emperor that von Hindenburg had said nothing whatever about the Army of the Red, which the Kaiser himself commanded. The Kaiser asked von Hindenburg about this, adding that the Army of the Red should also be criticized. Von Hindenburg continued to say nothing about it. Again the Emperor asked him. "Your Majesty," von Hindenburg said bluntly, "I deliberately reframed from criticising your army. That is why I took the leader of the Blues so severely to task. If I had been be, with his apprentices, I would have driven Your Majesty's troop into the Baltic STUDIED MASURIAN SWAMP. The Emperor concealed his dis pleasure. Presently von Hindenburg was retired. Though retreated von Hindenburg managed to obtain a detachment of grumbling troops from Konegelsberg and let them down into the Masurian swamp region to work out his problem. He would insist upon the cannon begged pulled through the muddiest parts of the lake district, and when they became tired fast it always seemed to please him. But several days he would bring the exhausted soldiers and horses and muddy guns back to Konegelsberg, where the officers would tell each other that the "old man" was quite mad. Then came the war. The Russians were mobilized. They were on the frontier. The Old Man of the Swamps offered his services to the Emperor. He was a retired General, though. The Emperor had his regular Generals to the army of East Prussia. There was General von Prittwitz, for instance. The Russians got into East Prussia. General von Prittwitz was soon deposed. Everybody in military Germany knows that through the blunders of certain high officers the small army that the Germans had in the field against Russia early in August was very nearly annihilated. ONLY ONE MAN ABLE. The Emperor went to Molktke, then his Chief of Staff. The Emperor said that the German troops in East Prussia were not being handled properly. He demanded another. General. Molktke named one man after another and one man or shook Molktke was at the end of his list. "Is there no end you can recommend?" asked the Emperor. "There is one man. Your Majesty, but, knowing your feelings in the matter, I have purposely refrained from mentioning his name. Who is he?" asked the Emperor quickly. "Von Hindenburg." replied, Molt ke. "It is not to be thought of," declared the Governor. shared the Emperor. But the Emperor went away to think it over. Like a vast tidal wave the Romanians were breaking over his beloved Etrur Prunus. The Emperor turned Etrur down. In his side. There could be no delay. He sent a beacon message to Molt- ker, "Appetit von Hindenburg." A Glance at Fundamenta Rights.-Citizenship and Its Privileges. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."—Declaration of Independence, in Pollard's Code of Virginia, Page XCIX. "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."—Article 4, Section 2, Constitution of the United States. "No person shall** be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without the process of law."—Amendment V, Constitution of the United States. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."—XIV Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. "That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life, liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."—Article I, Bill of Rights of Virginia. "That no person shall be deprived of his property without due process of law; and in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, trial by jury is preferable to any other."—Article I, Section 2, Bill of Rights of Virginia. And then began the ride to the East Prussian front, travelling all the night in one of the high-powered army automobiles, discussing as he went the position of the troops. Von Hindenburg arrived at the place that had been chosen as headquarters and he took command of the Army of the East. You know what happened, you know how the Russian invasion pooled in across East Prussia, past the Masurian lakes in a "seventh tribe" from Tiltst southward. PLANS CAREFULLY LAID. You know that Hindenburg elected to give battle on a field that was four times as large as Sudan. Back of the German the Hindenburg and his staff were watching the big maps. Like a great pair of tongs his soldiers were closing in from north and south. When they had surrounded the Russians, von Hindenburg would order the battle begun, not before. Field telephones buzzed, the telegraph clicked, the staff officers were ever changing the positions on the big maps, the black line, signifying the German soldiers were ever drawing closer together. Soon the Russians would be surrounded. And then an aircraft with black iron crosses painted uninterruptedly dropped down out of the clouds and landed in front of Hindenburg's headquarters. And its observers dashed up to report, "The enemy is surrounded!" "Begin the battle!" ordered Hindenburg. And over the field telephone wont the command and the naval slaughter of Tannenborg began—that battle of which historians will write as one of the greatest conflicts of the world. Back into the lake and swamps that he knew so well, that he had fought so hard to save from the fighting, von Hindenburg drove the enemy. Whole regiments slowly sank in the soze and disappeared from sight. By regiments the soldiers of the Czar were driven into the soft-bottomed lakes and shifting sands of Masureland. And behind the line, Hindenburg, who knew every square mile of that country and knowing the topography almost to every tree, could tell the German troops, exactly what to do. And the naval parters the command would go by telephone to the General in the field. I think it will not be until after this war is over that the world will know in detail what happened at Tennenbork. Von Hindenburg's strategy has jealously been hidden by the German General-Staff. Not a single military attack of a neutral country has been able to learn it. All one knows is that the Old Man of the Swamps drove the Russians into the swamps and that they perished by the thousands. We print Pamphlets. By-laws Books and all kinds of printing.

"6. This ordinance shall be in force from its passage." FROM BAHIA, BRAZIL Baldia, Brazil, March 19, 1945 Mr. John Mitchell, J. M. R. S. A. Banker, Editor and Publisher Richmond, Va I know that I am taking liberty, but it is not in respect to all the mortified honor you have. But we should remember that the posterity of the race is of more importance than anything personal, even our lives. Yet, I am perfectly aware of the fact that it is not the custom of our race to think so but when one appeases terror intelligence, one dates to facts plainer than otherwise and is by those virtues, I petition for an ability to gain your pardon. Since that I discount more of your many excellent qualities and achievement but permit me to say that I appreciate the ascendance you have made in the estimation and leadership of your own people, in secret societies, etc., much more than all else you have gained. Notwithstanding that, I am glad of every honor gift on you, and wish you many more. But I do wish, however, to ask on favor of you, and in the name of God, do not say no. I do wish that you would stop blaming those people of our race for our general troubles who left the South and took up residences in the North. Nor for gambling or for drinking or handling alcoholic beverages, because none of these things are responsible for your condition, and you should be able to understand that by this time. I know that your good white friends, and some of the colored ones say so, that is only a pretext of the white men to play upon your sympathies, and he wishes to do you a wrong. Now if you did not see to leave the town, that is your business, and no man has the right to contend you for it, and if you played cards, or even fancied a white woman enough to wish that you could marry her, or sold, drank or handled intoxicating drinks, nor any other sinful thing, know you this: the man who has done them all and some more, may stand just as pure in the eyes of God as yourself. And the best that I can say for the man who has never partook of any of these or other sins, has missed much in life. I have done them all, and probably some more, and the man who has not is able to judge of its effects, but he can greatly hurt himself and other innocents by using it as a means of abuse. Now, let me tell you sir, that some of the most daring crap shooters I ever saw were Southern white men, and some of the most interesting crap games ever I was in were in your own part of that country, and I read in the newspapers a few months ago of the death of a colored gentleman in the South when I know to be a professional gambler, and I only hope that you will be the master of so much money in your life as he was in, and there is a probability that he was rich when he died.

AMERICANS SHOULD AVOID BRISTISH MERCHANT VESSELS Whether the United States and Germany come to an understanding or not, the situation in the war some would be simplified and lives would be saved if American would refrain from traveling on British merchant vessels. Germany claims the right to destroy British merchant vessels because they are carrying war materials. The United States would have no control with Germany or this score if American ships were not on board. It is an established rule that not merchant vessels shall be armed or offer protection to the pirates or board traps the vessel in man of war. Whatever it has been to be and, of course if the only forthwith his to take merchant vessels virtually into war vessel, and the enemy is still in deterring it. A vessel cannot be launched without a chant vessel and a warship. It is entitled to certain immunities as a man-heat vessel which it loses if it loses force against the pursuer. One of these immunities is that it shall not be sunk whatever its cargo, unless the captor is unable to take it into port. Germany has canceled this class of war by sinking British or man-heat vessels on sight, without glance, the crews an opportunity to take the boats. So long as this practice is confirmed to British vessels, it is no concern of the United States. American passengers are not on board. Germany has given reassurance under date of May 11, that it has no intention of causing to be at tasked by submarine or airship any neutral vessels in the war zone even when they have contraband of war on board. It "unreservedly recognizes its responsibility therefor" in case of the accidental destruction of such a neutral vessel. British merchant vessels have invited destruction by arming themselves and by giving notice that they would resist capture. Several British skippers have boasted that they would ram submarines. In doing this they are transforming their vessels into warships, and of course, passengers arriving in them are subject to deadly peril. American would not think of traveling In the war zone on British or German warships. They would expect disaster. But they are doing the "equivalent of this when they travel on British merchant vessels, which have been marked for destruction by German submarines. It is unsafe for any person to travel on any British merchant vessel in the war zone, no matter what the cargo may be, and no matter whether the vessel is armed or not. ---Washington Post.

A stay in the execution of the death sentence against Robert Kitchens, a New York convicted of murder, has been granted by the Federal Judge Spor, pending consideration by the United States supreme court of Kitchens Corpupal in certain corpus proceedings, which were based on the unusual alienation that the prisoner had been deprived of his constitutional right under the fourteenth amendment, on that Negroes were excluded from the jury box at his trial.
