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.

(By Lester A. Walton.) 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.

Thousands of our men went abroad sad, but tens of thousands of them are coming back happy. the theorists have had their day and as a result the world is practically upside down. To be a statesman these days you have only to promise the people what you know they will never get. Colored folks are demanding their civil rights and some white folks are giving them to them. The first promise was to keep us out of war. The second promise is to give us everlasting peace. One is about as impossible of fulfilment as the other. Even Jesus Christ didn't succeed in doing it. Colored folks, who are bringing up their children in the fear of God and with good manners are having a hard time of it these days. The advice given in the home is often nullified in the streets and places of assemblage. ```markdown ``` THE CLOSING CHAPTER IN THE WORLD WAR. The reports now coming from Paris, Versailles, Weimar, Berlin and London are conflicting and puzzling to the average person. Many do not take into consideration that the real situation in these points of interest is carefully concealed or so stated as to give a misleading impression. The terms of the present treaty are being kept not only from the American public, but from the United States Senate which body should have a part in the negotiations or at least in executive or secret session, be advised as to the progress of the deliberations. To thoroughly or even remotely understand it all, it may be well to recite the events of last year, when that very able scholar, President Woodrow Wilson became the accepted spokesman for the Allies, whose troops were at the point of exhaustion. They took courage and the Germans were correspondingly down-cass by the entry of this republic into the awful struggle. What brought hope to one side carried despair to the other. Both sides had enough fighting and so when Germany accepted President Wilson's Fourteen Points as his proviso for peace, it was understood that the end of the struggle had come. This was brought about by a quiet revolution in Germany. The socialists that had loyally supported the imperial government thought they saw in President Wilson's deliverances a loop-hole through which they could leap to industrial and financial security. He had proposed that peace be made with the German people not hounding them primarily responsible for the action of their leaders, who had brought disaster to the whole world. As a result, the Kaiser and his cabinet were consulted. He was persuaded that this was the only hope 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 people of France and Belgium. The mighty German armies under the reservations secured read with disgenius and soldier Gen. Von Hinden- may the orders from the Department borg had reached the end of their ro of State. They would not be permit-sources and so the Kaiser who had for e to sail and so they stayed at home, more than four years held the atten A few got over there under one extion of the civilized world bowed to ease or another. One of the leading the will of the people and sought an elcored men in this country if not asylum in Holland. Then came the leading one now before the Ameri-Peace Conference composed of twenty en public called a Pan-African Con three nations. The first thing ascer- gross and with a political acumen that taued was that the Allies could not would have done credit to the politi- agree amongst themselves. President cat manipulators held a meeting some Wilson's Fourteen Points had guaran where in Paris with a few able sub- tected the integrity of the German Em jects of color and passed extended pipe and of those nations allied with resolutions, which were expected to hor. The only exception to this could be brought about by a vote of the people themselves. All of the warring nations wanted the land of the four nations against which they had waged such a bloody war fare. It was brought out that Italy had gone into an alliance with Great Britain with the distinct understanding that certain territory should be ceded to her out right. This was in direct violation of one of the Fourteen Points and President Wilson would not yield. This caused the Italian Government to withdraw its representatives at the Peace Conference. They subsequently returned after having been endorsed by the home government. Now one of the fundamental principles of President Wilson was that of "open diplomacy, openly arrived at." The brilliant but theoretical President of the United States did not seem to understand that when agreements were considered in the open, such agreements ceased to be diplomatic ones as understood in modern chancelleries. You might as well talk about diplomacy in the Congress when as a matter of fact it is found only behind the closed doors of the Department of State. It was equivalent to speaking of a sunless sunny day, a dayless day and a nightless night. It sounded all right and so the Allies agreed in a diplomatic way to have open diplomacy. When they got President Wilson on the otherside, the first thing they did was to shut the door tight, guard it and to make it impossible for even the sound of voices to pass through the windows on the outside. Whether the distinguished occupant of the White House at Washington was trapped will never be known unless he consents to write Memoirs of his own life and in them tell the story of his experiences on the other side. The Imperial German Government had retired and inexperienced men with but few exceptions revolved in all of the finery of the Hohencollen Palace at Berlin. It was a sudden leap into power and having secured possession of it, they believed that they could do the impossible. They appointed delegates last December to go to Paris and negotiate terms of peace or to sign those that had been negotiated, but there was trouble at Versailles, a suburb of Paris, where the Allies were vainly endeavoring to compose their own differences, before calling in the German peace delegates. Japan gave trouble on account of racial questions and those relating to her zone of influence in China. She threatened to withdraw from the Peace Conference. Italy had trouble too and she did withdraw. France insisted upon dis regarding President Wilson's Fourteen Points and pointed to the awful sacrifices that she had made. She feared too a rejuvenated Germany that would after a lapse of years grind her again under its heel. For five months this discussion went on and the ability to make Germany carry out the terms of the Allies be came less and less.. The cry of the American troops to go home became louder and louder and those of Great Britain joined in the refrain. Then came the Irish question like a nightmare. The Irish politicians held an election under the British regulations to elect representatives to Parliament, but instead they elected them to an Irish National Assembly that proclaimed a Republic with an Irish President. These people called attention to one of President Wilson's mischievous Fourteen Points. It established the right of a people to self-determination, that of the right to decide by ballot for themselves, the kind of government under which they should live. Their representatives made "the day hideous" for President Wilson who w as in alliance with Great Britain and whose subjects demanded that he live up to the cardinal principle of his fateful epic. To make the situation more embarrassing the United State Senate endorsed the Irishmen's plea. But in the meantime, the colored folks got busy too. They claimed that under Mr. Wilson's statement if not under Mr. Wilson's interpretation thereof, they were entitled to recognition be fore the Peace Conference, for on this side of the Atlantic so far as they were concerned, the world had not been made safe for democracy. Then came the orders to forestall this agitation on the part of the colored people of dark races, some of whom were called Negroes to the extent of denying them passports to France. As a result, influential colored men many of them ministers of the gospel with their trunks packed and the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA The Southern Baptist Convention able and sooner or later the people (white) has officially announced will awaken to the fact that they through Secretary Dr. O. L. Hailey cannot afford to accept the argument that that great organization has deser- or the advice' of the men, who are cided to erect the Theological Semi- leading the movement to split the nary as originally planned for the col- Baptists of color in this country. He came home and told of this achievement, although the representatives, who should have been present were in this and other countries pursuing their usual vocation. This was a daring thing to do, however and it won for him unstinted praise in all quarters. One other able colored representative got over there too, some say, he shipped either before the mast or behind it or in the culinary department or in the service department. Be that as it may, he was resourceful enough to get over there and to stay over there. At this writing, he is there yet. It is admitted that he secured the ear of the diplomatic representatives at the peace table calling attention to the injustice practiced upon colored folks in this country. But there was a peculiar situation over in Paris. It looked like "the big fish eating up the little ones," or rather the big ones looking after the little ones. Out of twenty three nations only five were permitted to participate in the fundamental question affecting the future status of Germany. The other nations were called in at times, but these calls finally became few and far between. At one time, only three nations participated: Great Britain, the United States of America and France, Japan. bases of Hibernia and France, Japan and Italy were sulking. This was explained on the ground that these great nations constituted an executive council and the other nations could not be called in until they were ready to make the 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 German Empire to the other. President Ebert of the German Republic through his representatives declared that they had been deceived. The Allies were treating the new republic just as it would have treated the Imperial German government had it retained power. It was openly declared that the treaty in its present form would not be signed by the German plenipotentiaries. Then came the retirement of the German delegation from Versailles and Paris. On leaving, some members of the party were stoned by the angry populace. The whole delegation resigned and a new ministry was formed. There were two opinions in Germany relative to the terms submitted by the Allies, but they differed only in the manner in which the situation should be handled. One united nation opposed the peace terms but one portion of it believed in signing the treaty with reservations, that is with no intention of keeping the pledges made or in living up to the agreements. President Ebert declared that he would not attach his signature to the treaty and he tendered his resignation. Then a hunt began for a 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 coercion. At this writing one German has been designated to sign the agreement and he is to coon perform that duty, say Thursday or Friday of this week. In the meantime the sinking of the German fleet off Scapa Flow Harbor sent a thrill throughout the civilized world. Just what will be the result of all of this time alone can tell. It looks now as though the German Government will be reorganized and those who have participated in these thrilling events will sink into oblivion. Another Government will eventually take its place and as soon as the opportunity offers will repudiate all that the former government officials have done. If the Allies are united, they will be able to enforce the decrees. If they are divided, another chapter, a duplicate of the Balkan War when Turkey repudiated a treaty signed by her and regained Adrianople will be written in history. These are stirring times. Great principles are not recognized in the chancelleries of Europe but selfishness rules supreme. The United States set an example that few nations have followed and already thousands of people are disgusted with the outcome and await the time to express their vectit at the polls.

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 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.

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.
