Black Hills Pioneers to Honor the Ex-President With Big Cere mony on July 4. General Leonard Wood, Officials and Prominent Citizens of Several States Unite in Tribute to Great American. New York—Announcement was made today by the Roosevelt Memorial Association that on July 4 the Black Hills Pioneers would honor the memory of the dead expresident by naming for him the highest peak in the Black Hills. Timed to take place during Homecoming Week for Deadwood and other Black Hills com munities, this ceremony will be a manifestation of the affection which all the residents of that section of the country felt for Colonel Roosevelt. "On that day," Captain Sull Bullock wrote to the Roosevelt Memorial Association "throughout the entire northwest the people will carry in their minds a thought of what the Colonel was and what he represented in the life of this country." PEAK OVERLOOKS THREE STATES The peak which is to be known as Mount Theodore Roosevelt is now known as Sheep Mountain or Round Top. It is detached eminence with an elevation of 6,000 feet, three miles from Deadwood, fifteen miles from Wyoming and thirty-five miles from the Montana state line. It is on the Black Hills Forest Reserve and will be the center of a bird and game refuge also dedicated to the memory of the expresident. All that section of the country has been intimately associated with various periods in the life of Colonel Roosevelt. The peak which is to hear his name overlooks the foothills and valleys of the northern Black Hills where the Colonel hunted buffalo. In sight from its summit are his cattle range and his trail of Dead wood as well as sections of Wyoming and Montana where he trailed cattle in his cowboy days Glimpses of the Belle Fourche, the Redwater and oth er streams flowing down the valleys attract the spectator. The peak and the territory around it are now embraced in the Belle Fourche irrigation project which Colonel Roosevelt advocated when President. This is making an arid prairie over into far tile farming country. MEMORIAL CAIRN AT SUMMIT The people of Deadwood are now building at the summit of the mountain a cairn 50 Ft. high of boulders of native granite. T. A. Brown of Spear fish, one of the Colonel's associates of years ago, has obtained the permission of the local committee to place in this monument a stone with the cattle brands of his old friend chiselled thereon. The dedication of this monument will take place on Independence Day, when a tablet in scribed "In Memory of Theodore Roosevelt the American" will be fastened to one of the boulders. The Govor of South Dakota is expected to preside at the ceremony. General Leonard Wood will make an address and there will be present state officials of Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota. An automobile road is now being built to the top of the mountain from Deadwood. A ne w vehicle path along a beautiful little creek will also give access to the mountain top and the memorial cairn.

London, June24—All the German ships at Scapa Flow have been sunk, with the exception of the battleship Baden. This was officially announced this evening. Announcement that certain of the interned German war ships at Scapa Flow had been sunk and abandoned by their crews was made by the admiralty this afternoon. STATEMENT BY ADMIRALTY The statement which was issued by the admiralty tonight says: "According to the latest reports from Seapa. Flow all the internal battleships and the cruisers have been sunk except the battleships Baden which is still afloat. Five light cruisers have been sunk but three have been beached. Eighteen destroyers were beached by local tugs. Four destroyers are sill afloat. The rest of the destroyers have been sunk. [REAR ADMIRAL A PRISONER A German rear admiral and most of the Germans from th' ships are now in custody aboard British ships. Some boats from the ships refused to stop when ordered and were fired on. A small number of Germans were killed or wounded. "In accordance with the terms of the armistry the German ships were intermed with skeleton crews as care Lakers and without British guards aboard." The German fleet was scuttled by the crews opening the seacocks, according to a Thurso dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. The Germans swam ashore. An Exchange Telegraph Company report, which was cancelled later said that according to farmers in the vicinity the German flag was hosted on the German ships at Scapa Flow as the crews prepared to sink them. SURRENDERED IN NOVEMBER When the German high seas fleet surrendered last November and was taken to Scapa Flow it comprised nine battle ships, five battle cruisers seven light cruisers and 50 destroyers As far as is known all the ships were still at Scapa Flow. The battleships were the Kaiser, Kaiserin, Koeing, Albert, Bayern, Markgarf, Kromprinz Wilhelm, Prinz regent Luitpold, Grosser Kuerfuerst and the Frederick d Grosse, averaging about 25,000 tons each. The bat the cruisers are the Seyditz, Hinden burg, Molke, Vonder Taun and Der flinger. ORIGINAL LIST INCREASED The Baden a sister ship of the Bayern was not mentioned in the first list of surrendered ships, and probably was added to the interned fleet when additional vessels were taken from the German harbors or shipyards. There were only seven light cruisers in the original list—the Eimedn, Karisruhe, Nurburg, Frankfort, Brumer, Breslau and the Koin. The admiralty statement accounts for eight vessels of this class. Providing that the Baden and the unnamed light cruiser are the only additions to the original list of sur rendered warships the admiralty's statement indicates that the German cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 28 decrew sank 9 dreadnoughts, 5 battle stroyers while 3 light cruisers and 18 destroyers were beached.

Black Hills Pioneers to Honor the Ex-President With Big Cere mony on July 4. General Leonard Wood, Officials and Prominent Citizens of Several States Unite in Tribute to Great American. New York.—Announcement was made today by the Roosevelt Memorial Association that on July 4 the Black Hills Pioneers would honor the memory of the dead expresident by naming for him the highest peak in the Black Hills. Timed to take place during Homecoming Week for Deadwood and other Black Hills com munities, this ceremony will be a manifestation of the affection which all the residents of that section of the country felt for Colonel Roosevelt. "On that day," Captain Seth Bullock wrote to the Roosevelt Memorial Association "throughout the entire northwest the people will carry in their minds a thought of what the Colonel was and what he represented in the life of this country." PEAK OVERLOOKS THREE STATES. The peak which is to be known as Mount Theodore Roosevelt is now known as Sheep Mountain or Round Top. It is detached eminence with an elevation of 6,000 feet, three miles from Deadwood, fifteen miles from Wyoming and thirty-five miles from the Montana state line. It is on the Black Hills Forest Reserve and will be the center of a bird and game refuge also dedicated to the memory of the expresident. All that section of the country has been intimately associated with various periods in the life of Colonel Roosevelt. The peak which is to bear his name overlooks the foothills and valleys of the northern Black Hills where the Colonel hunted buffalo. In sight from its summit are his cattle range and his trail of Dead wood as well as sections of Wyoming and Montana where he trailed cattle in his cowboy days Glimpses of the Belle Fourche, the Redwater and other streams flowing down the valleys attract the spectator. The peak and the territory around it are now embraced in the Belle Fourche irrigation project which Colonel Roosevelt advocated when President. This is making an arid prairie over into fer tile farming country. MEMORIAL CAIRN AT SUMMIT The people of Deadwood are now building at the sarumit of the moun tain a cairn 50 FT., high of boulders of native granite. T. A. Brown of Spear fish, one of the Colonel's associates of years ago, has obtained the per mission of the local committee to place in this monument a stone with the cattle brands of his old friend chiselled thereon. The dedication of this monument will take place on In dependence Day, when a tablet in scribed "In Memory of Theodore Roosevelt the American" will be fast end to one of the boulders. The Gov ernor of South Dakota is expected to preside at the ceremony. General Leonard Wood will make an address and there will be present state officials of Wyoming, Montana, Nebras ka and South Dakota. An automobile road is now being built to the top of the mountain from Deadwood. A ne wbridle path along a beautiful little creek will also give access to the mountain top and the memorial cairn. Raising Much Money. Rev. J. C. Austin, B. D., formerly pastor at Staunton is having great success in Pittsburgh.

GERMANS SINK INTERED SHIPS IN SCAPA FLOW. Sea Valves of Surrendered Fighting Ships are Opened by Crews. English Admiralty Reports These Light Cruisers and Eighteen Destroyers Beached—Four Destroyers and the Dreadnought Baden Still Afloat—German Rear Admiral and Most of the Hun Sailors Now Prisoners on British Warships—Part of the Enemy Crews Swim to the Shore. London, June21.—All the German ships at Scapa Flow Love been sunk, with the exception of the battleship Baden. This was officially announced this evening. Announcement that certain of the interned German war ships at Scapa Flow had been sunk and abandoned by their crews was made by the admiralty this afternoon. STATEMENT BY ADMIRALTY. The statement whi. h was issued by the admiralty tonight says: "According to the latest reports from Scapa Flow all the interned battleships and battle ships have been sunk except the battleships Baden which is still afloat. Five light cruisers have been sunk but three have been beached. Eighteen destroyers were beached by local tugs. Four destroyers are still afloat. The rest of the destroyers have been sunk. [REAR ADMIRAL A PRISONER A German rear admiral and most of the Germans from th ships are now in custody aboard British ships. Some boats from the ships refused to stop when ordered and were fired on. A small number of Germans were killed or wounded. "In accordance with the terms of the armistice the German ships were intermed with skeleton crews as care lakers and without British guards aboard." The German fleet was scuttled by the crews opening the seacocks, according to a Thurso dispatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company. The Germans swam ashore. An Exchange Telegraph Company report, which was cancelled later said that according to farmers in the vicinity the German flag was hosted on the German ships at Scapa Flow as the crews prepared to sink them. SURRENDERED IN NOVEMBER When the German high seas fleet surrendered last November and was taken to Scapa Flow it comprised nine battleships, five battle cruisers seven light cruisers and 50 destroyers As far as is known all the ships were still at Scapa Flow. The battleships were the Kaiser, Kaiserin, Koeing, Albert, Bayern, Markgarf, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Prinz regent Luitpold, Grosser Kuerfuerst and the Frederick de Grosse, averaging about 25,000 tons each. The bat the cruisers are the Seyditz, Hinden burg, Moltke, Vonder Taun and Der flinger. ORIGINAL LIST INCREASED The Baden a sister ship of the Bayern was not mentioned in the first list of surrendered ships, and probably was added to the interned fleet when additional vessels were taken from the German harbors or shipards. There were only seven light cruisers in the original list—the Emedn, Karisruhe, Nurnberg, Frankfort, Brumer, Breslau and the Koin. The admiralty statement accounts for eight vessels of this class. Providing that the Baden and the unnamed light cruiser are the only additions to the original list of sur rendered warships the admiralty's statement indicates that the German cruisers, 5 light cruisers and 28 decrews sank 9 dreadnoughts, 5 battle stroyers while 3 light cruisers and 18 destroyers were beached. One dreadnought and 4 destroyers remain afloat. MONROE—COLEMAN. Mr. and Mrs. Edward T. Coleman announce the marriage of their daughter. Annie O. to Mr. William M.

C. and was buried in Sycamore Cemetery Richmond, Va. on December 24, 1897. Over his grave his widow, Mrs. M. A. Browne, now Mrs. M. A. Browne Smith, erected a handsome granit shaft in perpetuation of his memory. For the last fifteen years, Sycamore Cemetery has not been used for burial purposes and at times it has been nothing but a veritable wilderness, so that about a year ago, Mrs. Smith had our founder's remains disinterred and reinterred in the "Beautiful Woodland" This is all that has ever been done of this nature by way of perfecting our founder's memory, and nothing as all has been done so far as the Order of True Reformers is concerned. Therefore, King Solomon Fountain No. 7, of which our founder was a member has deemed it proper and appropriate to cooperate with Mrs. Smith in defraying the expense of this last tribute of respect to our dis tinguished chieftain and financial Moses of the Race, although the move ment is entirely unsolicited on Mrs. Smith's part. The members of other fountains of the Brotherhood and the Race in general are cordially invited to participate. Twenty members of King Solomon Fountain have already started the fund by each subscribing from $1.00 to $5.00 totaling $28.50 which will be supplemented from time to time by other members. Send all contributions and subscriptions to Mrs. M. E. Wyatt, Secretary 608 N. Second St., Richmond, Va. in care of the Main Office of the Grand Fountain. It is our plan to raise this fund not later than October 20th, 1919 the occasion of our founder's 70th birthday anniversary. We ask, however, that you send your subscription to the Secretary at once. The names of all contributors to the amount of $1.00 or more, will be published in the Reformer. Contributors of two or more dollars, will be presented with a handsomely bound copy of the "Life and Public Services of William W. Browne," written by the late Daniel Webster Davis of Richmond, Va., with an in production by Bishop B. F. Lee of Wilberforce, Ohio; Statistician of the A. M. E. Church and published by Mrs. M. A.

American race prejudice was never robed in a more ludicrous garb nor its superficialities and inconsistencies never made more strikingly obvious than on the transport Canada which some few months ago brought two thousand officers and men from overseas including Dr. R. R. Molon and party. When the Canada left Liverpool it had on board three colored civilians and less than one hundred officers. It was at Brest where as many officers and men as the ship could accommodate got on under the conmand of a captain who had been made embarkation officer and put in full charge of the Canada so far as relating to military matters. Even the two majors connected with the medical branch of the service were subject to his authority. Two days out at sea after leaving Brest Dr. Moton and I while eating dinner, got a good view of the em barkation officer who was seated at the ships captain's table. Then we looked at each other knowingly but said not a word. Two days later, while Dr. Moton and I were in the salon engaged in conversation the em barkation officer came in and sat just across from us. He acted like one seeking an invitation to join us and Dr. Moton re marked to me: "I believe he is color ed." I then told him of my suspicions explaining to the head of Tuskegee Institute that I had not talked with this officer as I had with others not wanting to embarrass him in any way. Just two days before reaching Boston Harbor I walked into the salon one afternoon looking for Dr. Moton and there I spied him and the em barkation officer in friendly discussion. I stopped suddenly but Dr. Moton called me over to be introduced I was informed that the captain was "one of us" which was no big surprise to me. It seems that one address made the night before by Dr. Moton to the officers asking for a square deal for colored Americans had so affected the embarkation officer that he could not restrain himself longer from mak ing his identity known.. He fully in tended to talk with us when the trans port reached Boston Harbor declaring he just had to "mix" with his own people and could not wait longer. The officer gave his name as Cap Captain Joseph L. Morgan commander of Company I of the 370th Infantry, the old 8th Illinois. Before his regi ment was mustered into Federal service he was employed in the Depart ment of Labor at Springfield, Ill. Capt. Morgan who is one of the old est members of the old 8th Illinois told us he had been wounded twice while in the trenches and after having gone to Nice and other famous resorts to recuperate he had been sent to Brest and put in charge af casuals. "I asked if his superior officers knew he was a colored man when they made him embarkation officer on the Canada and he replied, "I sup pose so and they must know the 370th Infantry is a colored regiment." During the rest of the trip Dr. Moton and I had short talks with Captain Morgan. His orderly, a white boy from Cleveland whose father is a wealthy contractor seemed devoted to his superior officer. I have often thought of the orderly since returning to America in the light of subsequent developments, for one evening he said to Dr. Moton: "Do white people ever resent the way you jump on them for drawing the color line in your addresses?" The young man while waiting for Capt. Morgan had stood on the outside of the salon and heard Dr. Moton talk to the officers on the Nerro question. The majority of officers on the Canada were Southernners. One was a nephew of United States Senator Underwood of Alabama. It is true that no great heat and cry were raised he cause three colored Americans were among the diners on the Canada but possibly because Dr. Moton was looked upon as a representative of the President and the Secretary of War. Had it been made public that they were serving under and eating with a brother officer who was a Negro one can readily imagine the race problems and embarrassments that would have followed. WORE NUMBER OF HIS REGIMENT Southern people claim they always can tell a colored man from a white man. They failed to do so on the Canada. I heard some referring to the embarkation officer as having Indian blood in his veins which was done to make amends for his swarthy complexion. What mystified me was the failure of some on board to as sociate Capt. Morgan with a colored regiment as he at all times proudly wore the number of his regiment on his collar. Capt, Joseph L. Morgan was not the only Negro on the Canada goner ally looked upon as a Caucasian. On the evening the transport anchored in Boston Harbor a young man timidly knocked at the door of Dr. Moton's statercroom and when invited to come in introduced himself as a former student at Tuskegee. He had seen service with a white regiment, had been injured and was returning to the United States a casual. Then the young man went below and brought back another colored boy who was also known as white. There were at least three colored Americans in our midst who were "passing for white." There is no telling how many more on board were doing the same thing. Had either of the three voluntarily admitted his racial identity excitement would have been intense at sea. Consternation over possible contact with the Negro is a hallucination. We are told that hallucinations are always evidences of cerebral derangement and are a common phenomenon of insanity. Who is to be pitted most un der the circumstances? THE SOUTHERN SOCIOLOGICAL CONGRESS MOVES AGAINST LYNCHING. The time is past for simply con demanding lynching or calling on the public to unipole law. The President's address last summer with/its tremen dous appeal for justice and for patriotism, was followed by outbursts of mob violence in a number of states. On the heels of the strong action of the recent meeting of the Southern Sociological Congress came one of the most atrocious mob murders ever known the victim of which has since been proven an innocent Negro. The one remedy is a campaign of education for as long as may be need ed. This the Law and Order Section of the Sociological Congress has officially undertaken. Its program is: 1. A campaign of publicity through the press. 2. The sending of speakers to con ventions to actively enlist religious, educational and other leaders. 3. A thorough study of the causes of lynching on the results of which a conservative program of education, legislation and law enforcement may be worked out. The $10,000 needed for this camp paign should come from the South, and quickly. Every one who has a stake in this section—children, property, honor, friends—should help to end this menace and disgrace. Membership in the Law and Order section of the Congress costs $1 per year; and Dr. E. C. Dinwiddle, Me Lacchan Building, Washington, D. C. is the treasurer. It is hoped that reliigious an educational interests will respond with especial promptness to this urgent need. MAY VOTE ON LIQUOR. Amendment, Court Records. Judge Dillion Refuses to Enjoin Secretary of State From Accepting Referendum Petition on Dry Amendment—Ignores Polk's Proclamation Declaring Change in Constitution Adoted. Columbus, Ohio June 16.—Right of Ohio voters to approve or disapprove the action of the State legislature in ratifying Federal constitutional amendments was upheld today by Judge E. B. Dillon of the Franklin county common pleas court. Tse decision, un less reversed by higher courts, will permit a referendum to be held on both the Federal prohibition and woman suffrage amendments which the legislature has ratified. LEGISLATIVE ACTION NOT FINAL The decision was rendered in the case brought by George F. Hawke, of Cincinnati against Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith to enjoin him from accepting referendum petitions on the resolution of the legislature ratifying the Federal prohibition amendment on the ground that the resolution could not be referred to the voters and that the action of the legislature was final. Assistant Secretary of State Polk's proclamation declaring the prohibition amendment adopted, Judge Dillon held is without legal effect and force so far as the question was concerned. It was contended by attorneys for Hawke that the assistant secretary's proclamation barred further action in Ohio. The proposed referendum is to be sought by the Ohio Home Rule Association under provision of the State constitution authorizing referends on resolutions adopted by the legislature ratifying amendments to the Federal Constitution. CONTENTION OF DRY LEADERS. Dry leaders who were booking the suit filed by Hawke also contended that inasmuch as the Federal constitution says ratification shall be made by the State legislature the State constitutional provision providing for a referendum is out of harmony with the Federal constitution and therefore void. On this question Judge Dillon held "Despite all precautions to safeguard individual liberty and freedom of action and the fact that the early constitutional convention denied the right to our courts to pass on the constitutionality of laws enacted by Congress our courts and judges have been slowly and surely disregarding these restrictions and limitations and now freely and uninterruptedly exercise powers which even the monarchs and kaisers dared not exercise with all their claims to power by inherent divinity. ORLANDO CABINET RESIGNS. Regime Defeated by Deputies' Vote Rome, June 19.—The Italian government resigned this evening following an adverse vote against it in the chamber of deputies. Premier Orlando in announcing his resignation and that of the cabinet said King Victor Emanuel had reservy 1 decisions as to acceptance. The chamber of deputies had by a vote of 259 to 78 rejected Premier Orlando's motion in favor of discussing the question of confidence which related to the foreign policy of the government in secret session. The resignation of the Orlando gov --- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ernment may have an embarrassing effect on the peace conference, as Premier Orlando has been a member of the council of four with Premiers Lloyd George and Clemenceau and President Wilson. A political crisis arose several weeks ago in Rome and caused three members of the Orlando government to resign. The premier returned to Rome from Paris and was able to adjust the difficulties. The labor and food situation in Italy has not been of the best since the signing of the armistice and a general strike began in Rome Tues day night. Last week there were strikes and disorders in Spezia, Turin and Milan. SPINGARN MEDAL IS AWARDED TO ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKE.

They took courage and the Ger mans were correspondingly down-cast by the entry of this republic into the awful struggle. What brought hopo to one side carried despair to tho otter. Both sides had enough fighting and so when Germany accepted President Wilson's Vourteen Points as his pro: viso for peace, it was understood that the end of the struggle had come. This was brought about by a quiet revetution in Germany. ‘The social ists that had loyally supported the fmperiai government thought they saw in President Wilson’s deliveranc- 8 1 Joophole through which they cold leap to industrial and financial security. He had proposed that peace be made with the German people not howicg them primarily responsible for the action of their leaders, who Ind brought disaster to the whole workd. As a result, the Kaiser and his cabinet were consulted. Tie was per- saded that this was the only hopo of saving the fatherland from a ruthless invasion and the people from all of the horrors that had been visited by the Germans themselves upon the pco- plo of France and Belgium, The borg had reached the ond of their ro sources and so the Kaiser who had for more than four years held the atten tion of the civilized world howed to Uie Will of the people and sought au asylum in Holland. ‘Then came the Peace Conference composed of Lwenty (ree nations ‘The first thing ascer- {aed was that the Allies could not agree amongst Chemselves, President Wilson's Vourteon Points had guaran {eed the integrity of the German Fm pire and of (hose nations allied with hor. ‘The only exception to this could be Drought about by a vote of the people themselves, AM of the warring nations wanted the land of the four nations against which they had waged such a bloody war fare.

Dut instead they stected them to an frish National Assembly that proclaim ed & Republic with an Irish President. ‘These people called attention to one of President Wilson's — mischievous Fourteen Points. It established the right of a peoplo to self-detormina- tion, that of the right (o decide by ballot for themselves, the Kind of government uncer which they should live. ‘Their representatives made £85 RIGHMOND PLANET, RIORMOND, VIRGINIA may the orders from the Dopartment of Stato. ‘They would not be pormitt: ed to sail and so thoy stayed at home, A fow got over there under one ex: euse or another, One of the leading colored men in this country if not the leading one now before the Ameri- cin public called a Pan-African Con nvess and with a politfeal acumen that would have done eredit to the politl- cat manipulators held a meeting some Where in Paris with a fow ablo sub- Jects of color and passed extended resolutions, which were expected to reach the representatives atthe Peaco ‘Table, He came home and told of this achievement, although the representa.

It is admitted that ho secured the ear of tho diplomatic re- presemtatives at the peace table eall- ing attention Lo the injustice practiced upon colored folks in this country. | But there was a peculiar situation over in Paris, It looked like “the bis: fish eating up the Hite ones," or rather tho, big ones looking after the Hittle ones. Out of twenty three na- tions only five were permitted to participate in the fundamental ques: tion affecting the future status of Germany. ‘The other nations — were called in at times, but theso calls, finally became few and far between, | At ono time, only three nations par: Uicipated: Great Britain, the United States of America and Franco. Japan and Tkily were sulking. ‘This was explained on the ground that these great nations constituted an excen=| tive council and {ho other nations could not ho called in until they were ready to male tho report. | But what about Germany? When the revised draft of the Peace ‘Treaty was finally submitted, It caused a howl of indignation from one end of the former Gorman Empire to the other. President Ebert of the Gorman’ Republic through his representatives declared that they had been deceiv-| ed. The Allies were treating the new republic Just_as it would have treat: ed the Imperial German government! had it retained power. It was openly, declared that the treaty in its present. form would not bo signed by the Ger man plenipotentiaries. Then came the retirement of tho German delegation from Versailles and Paris. On leaving, some members of the party were stoned by tho an. sry populace, Tho whole delegation resigned and a new ministry was formed. ‘There were two opinions in Germany relative to the terms. sub: mitted by the Allies, but they differ: ed only in the manner in which the situation should bo handled. One United nation opposed the peace terms but one portioa of it believed in sign ing the treaty with reservations, that is with no intention of keeping the pledges mado or in living up to the agreements. President Ebert declared that he would not attach his signature to Ue treaty and he tendered his. yesigna- tion. ‘Then a hunt bogan fora leader who would attach his signature to the treaty. ‘The National Assembly at first rejected the treaty and then decided to authorize the signing of the document under coorcion. At this wriling one German has been designat ed to sign the agreement and he fs to ‘oon perform that duty, say ‘Thurs dey or Friday of this week. In tho meantime ihe sinking of the German fleet aff Seapa Flow Harbor sent a thrill Chroughout the civilized world. Just what will he the resuit of all of this Lime alone can tell. It looks now as thongh the German Govern. ment will be reorganized and those Who have participated in these thril ling events will sink into oblivion, Another Government will eventually take its place and as soon as tho op- porimnity offers will ropudiate all that the former government officia's have done.

Our people are unwilling — to place the Lord's money in the hands of irresponsible men, who might do with it what it was not given for.

Cop Finds Woman Bather Wrapped in 'Thought. A lady bathing in a brook, a lady clad in nothing and very little of that, was the spectacle that caught the eye of Patrolman Jameson of the Nutley, N. J., police force last Satur day afternoon as he tramped along the hot and dusty road on his way to police headquarters. The brook was between Hillside and Franklin avenues, Nutley near the Fortnightly Club and had about a foot an a half of water in it, hardly enough to cover the nothing that the lady had on let alone the lady. The lady was standing up when Patrolman Jameson first saw her but as soon as she saw him she sat down hurriedly and tried to hide behind a bit of weed meanwhile unestentations by splashing water over her toes. "What are you doing there?" asked the policeman. "Bathing" replied the lady. Bathing. You come out of that and put your clothes on." ordered Patrolman Jameson sternly. You're disgracing yourself. The lady said she wouldn't do it and the policeman didn't know how to make her. So he telephoned for a patrol wagon and it came presently with Reserve Patrolman Brown. But still the lady refused to put her clothes on and the task appeared too much entirely for a couple of police men. So they summoned various of the female populace of Nutley and these ladies formed screen and helped the bathing lady on with her clothes while the policemen studied as astronomy. Before Recorded Post the lady of the brook said she was Miss Marion Greyson, 23 years old of Rome street Newark, although the residents of that street say they know her not. The Recorder sent her to jail for ten days. Vacation Earnings and Savings. The school vacation just about to begin is a time of relaxation for both teacher and pupil. But relaxation does not necessarily mean idleness. A change in employment, diverting the mind from one subject to another often proves more beneficial than so called complete rest. The teacher whose pupils find ways of earning money during the vacation period will have the realization that he or she is discharging well the responsibilities of thrift education. Knowing the opportunities open to boys and girls for spare time employment and pointing them out to pupils is part of the thrift education. If the teacher helps to make the style thrift and industry instead of waste and idleness there will be the cooperation of the instinct initiation.
