Colored professional men who were called from their professions to go to France to fight for world democracy. Their going interrupted their practice and put a period into their further studies. There were thousands of young Colored men anchored away from colleges and universities, and sent over seas to become targets for the murderous Hun's shrapnel and poison gas, and these too, had a period put into their college work. To these this officer of university work in France and Eng. received with joy. They knew the colony of their skin was never questioned when it was ordering them on the firing line, or sending them on a daylight raid and they never suspected that the color of their skin would be called into question when they made application to take advantage of the government's offer to valor-decorated veterans of a world war. However that rank American prejudice which in the army, followed the Colored soldier and Colored officer like an avenging nemesis all through France, bobbled up at the proper time and the Colored boys: they who had fought like Spartans from the Mossel to the Rhine, had their applications returned to them. They and because they were Colored, and despite the fact that they had been intrepid fighters—the first Americans to win the coveted Cross De Guerre, had their applications returned with the implied inferences NO GROES NEED APPLY Every day, regretfully President Wilson's "to make the world safe for democracy" becomes more and more difficult, a sublime thing to the Colored soldier. And still there is once, the same who are responsible for the war, the same who fritter, wonder why this somewhat indefinable bolshevikism is causing so much uneasiness among Colored Americans. Poro College Entertains Soldiers The Poro College Co., of which Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone are proprietors, opened their college to the Replacement Soldiers of the 80th Inf., last Saturday, and made them welcome. Elegen soldiers were enroute to Camp Funton to be mustered out of service, passed through the city and having a day to remain, were brought to the Poro College by the Rev. Selton Parr of the Y. M. C. A. The boys who were mostly from the State of Kansas, wore the Croix De Guerre. In the party were Corp. Bert Watts, Corp. Augustus A. Davis, Corp. Eugene Washington; Private Samuel Maywell, Hayter Hunter, William Glover, Grover Gillespie, Fred W. Cooper, J W. Essex, Len Richie, Flummer Walker and Eugene Washington. For an hour they played pool in the private pool room of Mr. Malone's and at noon were escorted to the main auditorium where a splendid program was rendered by the Poro College girls. Miss May B. Thomas sang "The Rose of No Man's Land" sweetly and charmingly and the soldiers were highly elated over the rendition. Misses Keith and Moore sang "Somebody here Bears a Weary Load" in a pleasing manner. The whole College sang as the soldiers marched in "The Old Wing Never Touched the Ground Boys." It was an inspiring occasion. Cary B. Lewis of the Chicago Defender who was here on a visit presided at the meeting and introduced an old soldier, Comrade G. W Edwards, who told the horses of his experience during the 1975. Tears came to the eyes of young women who heard how their brothers in blood were treated by white officers, but the soldiers said, "The Wing Never Touched the Ground." Following the addresses, Mr. and Mrs Malone extended them a warm throw the building open to them for the afternoon. The soars escorted to the dining room where a feast, a real old-fashioned dinner was prepared for them. Mr. and Mrs. Malone received a letter yesterday from Prof. W. S. Scarborough of Wilberforce University blanking the price for the $1000 they had given Wilberforce on Monday the day the school, Malone University, establish a branch at Chicago, IL, and Atlanta, Ga., and in June will make a drive in the East for a larger fundraiser. N. A.A. C.P. ASKS PROTECTION FOR THE UNEMPLOYED NEW YORK—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, has called the attention of Secretary of Labor Wilson and the Pennsylvania authorities to the wholesale deportation of Chelsea Perry, who during the war were employed, in the various industries but who are now unemployed as a result of the shutting down of these industries. William B. Dickson, vice president of the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Company, has also been asked to insure humane treatment of these men. The association offers to co-operate in any way possible with the Department of Labor in an effort to treat these men, corded these men, who have served the nation in its war industries and protest against arbitrary arrest and deportation of men who it says have met as critical a need as have the soldiers who fought in the trenches. FIRST SQUAD OF DRAFTED BOYS HAS RETURNED St. Louis' amilia of triumph began to broaden Thursday morning when the first contingent of drafted boys from overseas arrived home.

Following a tremendous reception and collection for an impostor who represented himself to be Sergeant Henry Johnson. Albany Negro war hero, in St. Louis several weeks ago, the real Henry Johnson will speak before a giant meeting in the Coliseum there before next month. Mrs. Victoria Chry Haley, chairman of the Colored Women's division of the Council of National Defense, of St. Louis, came to Albany list night and induced the real Johnson to accept the enclosure for charities. However, feeling is even more strong to see the real hero, as St. Louis is warm in its attitude toward him. Of the farce meeting when the impostor was arrested before the eyes of thousands of admiring spectators, Mrs. Haley said: "The affair created more regrettable excitement than can be imagined. When the proceeds of the collection were divided among the eight churches, one of the clergymen offered to refund the money to those who contributed, while another declared his share would be expended for charities. However, feeling is even more strong to see the real hero, as St. Louis is warm in its attitude toward him. "We hope to realize enough through his appearance to establish a much needed community center, to be called the Calvin Hydie house in memory of the first Negro boy to be killed in a Besides the defense division, Mrs. Haley represents the directors of St. Paul's church in St. Louis, which is to share in honoring the hero. More than 60,000 Negro residents of St. Louis are intensely interested in St. Louis, Mrs. Haley last night, and wish to see her. Although $2,400 was collected for "Johnson" at the first reception, the Albany warrior will receive none of it. Mrs. Haley said last night, as the union of churches, conducting the benefit has divided the fund to pay for expenses aid for charitable work. The reception to come will be for the joint benefit of the church and for the establishment of a community center to be dedicated to the war heroes who have been killed. With J. W.

SIMMON'S SCHOOL PATRONS' CONCERT Several hundred people gathered at Poro Auditorium Wednesday evening, and were entertained by Simms' Concert Band. This meeting was held under the auspices of Simmons' School Patrons Association. The entertainment was first class throughout, especially from the standpoint of music and decorum. The loud applause followed each selection was a true expression of the popular appreciation which the music of St. Louis hold for real music when properly interpreted. As an appreciation of earnest efforts of the leader of this band, to give the public something worth while at public appearances, Mr. A. A. Simms, bandmaster, was presented as a sadsome guttaperchis baton in behalf of the president, Mr. W. Davis, who in a few important words told of the benefits to be derived from such concerts. A few remarks by Mr. A. P. Gearin, president of the Association, and Prof. R. H. Cole, principal of Simmons' School, told of the many benefits which come to parents and teachers by such an association, and President of the parents to become members. Experienced inflection were noted as the audience passed out and it is generally talked that a big affair will be given in the near future by some organization supported by Simms' Concert Band. Of the farce meeting when the imposter was arrested before the eyes of thousands of admiring spectators, Mrs. Haley said: "The affair created more regretful excitement than can be imagined. When the collectioners were divided among the eight collectors, one of the clergymen offered to refund the money to those who contributed, while another fleeced his share would be expended for charities. However, feeling is even more strong to see the real hero, as St. Louis is warm in its attitude toward him. "We hope to realize enough through his appearance to establish a much needed community center, to be called the first Navy boy to be kept on duty overseas. Mr. Johnson has consented to appear and is enthusiastic over the project. He will be given an enthusiastic welcome, both by Negroes and white people of St. Louis, both classes of whom have the great admiration for his deeds." Mrs. Haley will leave for St. Louis today with the pictures and to complete arrangements for the meeting. In Albany in time to take part in various meetings arranged in his honor.

March 10, 1919. Fellow Citizens. The Honorable Mayor of St. Louis in line with other large cities has appointed a committee of 50, known as the Citizens Committee. This committee represents all the people of St. Louis and is to cooperate with the Colored Women's Division, Council of National Defense in welcoming home all returning soldiers and to bid Godpeed to those boys passing through enroute to their various homes. We are expecting very soon several hundred boys of the 92d Division and we are planning to entertain and furnish them with various forms of amusement; we are to continue the effort put forth by the War Department in safeguarding their morals and protecting them from the many agonies of war. It is a patriotic duty to see to it that every boy is returned safe and pure to his loved ones. This committee feels that it would be unfair to the returning soldiers, relatives and friends to charge admission of any kind or to in any way use this occasion for financial gain. We are therefore appealing to every church, society, civic organization and patriotic spirited citizens, giving them a chance to joyfully enter into the expenses of this most worthy undertaking. Send any contribution immediately to Milton Holland, secretary, 1532 Pendellon avenue. Crittenden Clark, chairman. Patriotically yours. THE WAYS & MEANS COM. Lieut. Col. Otis D. Duncan, the highest ranking Negro officer of overseas service in France, will be one of the big guns that will shoot during the Y. M. C. A. dedication on March 23rd to 30th. Others who will appear on the program which has been announced, are Dr. Jesse E. Moorland, Mr. John Watson, Mr. John Hawkins, financial officer of the local church and a number of local church and laymen. From the program which has been announced, it seems that a most splendid week will be furnished for the citizens of St. Louis. Sunday afternoon, March 23rd at 4 p.m. will come the Dedicatory Services, and each night of the following week will be given over to some phase of life of our city. Each group is living up with enthusiasm, to make his night the largest. Come on as wonderfully well in the collection of funds until we can not stop short of our full quota of $75,000. In order that St. Louis may keep her place, it will be necessary that every one who attends the Dedicatory services make a contribution of at least one dollar and thereby become a "D. D." Donator of Dollars. In order to save time, the public will be asked to make their contributions at the door, and no contribution will be taken during the meeting unless the offering at the door falls short of $25,000. In order that we may raise our quota of the cost of the work the farm workers are working most earnestly this week and will make their final report at Union Memorial Church Sunday afternoon March 16 at 4 p.m. BOB CHURCH AND NEGRO OFFICERS Special To The Argus MEMPIHS, Teen, Mar. 6-Members of the police force were arduous today over the action of Commissioner Miller in employing two Negro officers. Whether or not the men will make any official protest against the appointments had not been decided by them this afternoon. Although the bonds of the Negroes read "special officers" while they were being sworn in they are said to be classed, as detectives, and that they were to receive a salary of $100 a month. This statement was made in the presence of Detective Chief Hewitt Smith, under whom the men will work Two Suspended About the same time that the Negroes were being appointed orders were issued to suspend Detectives Al B. Hurst and James P. Mahan, two of the oldest men on the force in point of service. This order was issued following the arrest of two alleged hand book makers, by Detectives Smith and Hoyle Hurst and Mahan had been held responsible for eliminating that form of gambling. The two Negro officers are Matthew Thornton, 587 Alston Avenue and Freeman Gates, 632 Polk Ave. They were sworn in as officers yesterday and given orders to report to Chief Smith. A separate office, formerly occupied by one of the draft boards, was assigned to the Negroes. Save They're "Special" Although the Negroes stated in his presence that they were to be classed as detectives Chief Smith today insisted that they were merely special officers. A large number of patrolmen who have been working for the department for years are receiving less than $100 a month. In addition, they are forced to provide their own uniforms and guns. A number of officers stated today that the appointment of the them, it is probable that an official, protest will be made to Commissioner Miller. At city hall it is rumored that the Negroes were appointed at the solicitation of Bob Church, head of the Lincoln League a Negro political organization. ONE HIJNDRFQ 92 DIV-BOYS PASS. THROUGH ST. LOUIS A contingent of 100 members of the 317th Sanitary Truck, 82nd Division passed through St. Louis Tuesday night on route from Camp Upton to Camp Bowle, Texas. They received lunch at the Y. M. C. A. Hut. The men, were all from the South, had just arrived from Texas, and were going to Texas to be mustered out. Lieutenant A. W. McDonald, of Mt. Texas, was in charge. PRICE 5 GENTS RS AND W. TYLER To Government At Poro Reception HEROES OF WAR GET NO CREDIT FOR FIGHTING DISCHARGE PAPERS OF MANY MEN OF THE FAMOUS COLORED REGIMENTS BRIGADED WITH THE FRENCH READ "NO ENGAGEMENTS." St. Louis Gunner Gassed Five Times and Wounded in German Raid Credited With No Engagements. Papers Say No Wounds. Wears Sharpshooter's Medal But Discharged as "Not Qualified." Much has been said and written about the valiant fighting of the brave Colored troops in the great war. Their brilliant recruits in the Guillemot-Thieffer Solissons, on the Vesle, in Champagne, in the Argonne, and in the final tacks in the Metz region is undisputable history. We are told that the 399th, formerly the 15th New York, in one day, September 26, captured two 77 millimetre guns, 25 machine guns and 125 prisoners. On that day one battalion went into action with 20 of fliers and 700 men and came out with only seven officers and 150 men left. The Germans became so frightened at the finish that the Negro troops toward the finish that as they saw them come at them with the cold steel they would throw up their hands and yell "Kramerd." Of the 370th, old 8th, 11th, their commanding officer says they were actually over the Belgian border when the Saliati war was already underway. One of the Saliati warriors was already killed by the French Army at the time. Of the four Colored regiments that fought with the French, three units complete and sixty-one men of the fourth were awarded the high honor of the Croix de Grace. The French generals high-ranking officers were those who brave American soldiers, and those man possesses a letter to that effect, but many have discharge papers which read "Battles, Engagements, Skirmishers, Expeditions: "None". An Argus reporter was shown several papers of this kind when a detachment was mustered at Jofferson Barracks recently. Face Burned by Gas. A specific case is that of Joseph Norris f. 20823 Bernard St. St. Louis Norris f. 2832 Bernard St. St. Louis伯斯 1917. He left Camp Funktion with a hundred or more in March, 1918, and two weeks later landed in Bordeaux, France, where he was sent to join the 369th. He was assigned as gunner, first class private, in the Third Machine Gun Company. Norris tells of fierce fighting 'all through the engagements of the French with which his regiment was brigaded. His face is from 'dustfall'. His gas burns. His upper arm is in shock from a hand-to-hand encounter with a Ham, and he wears a sharpshooter's medal, yet his discharge paper reads, 'Battles, engagements, skirmishes, expeditions, none.' "Wounds received in service: none." "Marksmanship, gunner, qualification or rating: not qualified." Norris' discharge paper is similar to many the reporter saw. "Snake in the Grass." Among the engagements his regiment had, he says, the Champaign encounter was the heroes. The boys were 6000 men in the encampment. He 26 and crawled through the grass over No Man's Land. It was from this they received the name "Snake in the Grass." They routed the Germans and captured 17 or 18 towns which the French had lost to the Germans in 1800. They fought 6 days and nights continuously and the 66th night 2009 and the 67th night 2010. Norris says only 4 men were left of the 250 in his company. Just prior to this Norris states he received his fifth dose of gas, this time by mustard gas, which burned through his helmet and blistered his face. He says he was injured in an encounter with a German patrol, which stole across No Man's Land one night, the barbed wire and entered the trenches held by the Colored boys. He was bayoneted but "got his man" with his automatic. He says not one of the 16 Germans lived to return to their lines. Norris' wife, to whom he had been married 7 years, died January 6 after four months' illness, but letters sent to him from the U.S. Army led of his loss was had when he arrived at Union Station, February 16.

QUINN CHAPEL UNION PACIFIC PRAISES Washington, D. C.—Gen. H. L.

That's the question everyone is beginning to ask. Senator Caminages of Iowa; Senator Harding of Ohio; Senator Watson of Indiana; Governor Lowden of Illinois and former Governor Whitman of New York are among the Republicans who have been mentioned. One of the slogans of the coming campaign is to be: "Make America Safe for Democracy;" and the 12,000,000 Negroes of the country are, keenly on the alert to see that real business and hot sidestepping, will be the order of the day, if the activities of organizations and returned soldiers may be taken as a criterion.

ACHES AND PAINS QUICKLY RELIEVED You'll find Sloan's Liniment softens the severe rheumatic ache DISINFECTANTS FOR THE POULTRY Good disinfectants destroy the germs of contagious diseases, the external parasites, such as lice and mites, and in some cases the eggs of parasitic worms. The eggs of some kinds of worms are so resistant that disinfectants other than heat have little effect upon them. The disinfectants should be thoroughly applied to the interior of the houses, worked into the crevices, spread over the ceiling and the floor, the roosts, dropping boards and nest boxes. At the same time the feeding and drinking troughs should be disinfected by pouring boiling water into them and afterward drying them in the sun. Disinfectants are most easily applied to the walls and ceilings with a spray pump or by using a brush. As it is difficult to keep them from coming in contact with the face and hands, the more harmless of the mixtures should generally be used. Ordinarily limewash made from freshly slaked lime is excellent, and its properties are well known to all. In the case of an actual outbreak of virulent disease it is well to add to the limewash six ounces of crude carbolic acid to each gallon, to increase its activity as a disinfectant. Will Shoot Projectiles Entirely Off the Earth In a detailed scientific discussion of the German long-range gun which bombarded Paris last spring, Mal J. Malftland-Addison, writing in the Journal of the Royal Artillery, takes a peep into the future, observes the Scientific American, and considers the possibility of a gun capable of shooting projectiles entirely off the earth into space, in La Jules Verne. The requisite velocity of such a gun is not, he says, so very much higher than what has already been achieved; viz. a muzzle velocity of a mile per second. When we are able to increase this to five miles per second, the projectile, if fired at a suitable angle, will travel around the earth, a grazing satellite, completing its orbit between 17 and 18 times daily. With a velocity of about seven miles a second, it will move off into space, never to return. SAYINGS OF SAGES We sometimes meet with men who seem to think that any indulgence in an affectionate feeling is weakness.—Miss Mulock. The year passes quick, though the hours tarry, and time bygone is a dream, though we thought it never would go while it was going—Newman. When a man does a noble act, date him from that. Forget his faults. Let his noble act be the standpoint from which you regard him. There is much that is good in the worst of men. Doctor Bellows. Every man has a work to do proportionate to his abilities and opportunities. — A. A. Hodge. D. D. ```markdown ``` Has Mensheviki Also There are now two factions of the Russian socialistic party, says the World's Work, and these two factions were called the "Menshevik" and the "Bolshevik." In Russian these words mean nothing more startling than the "Minority" and the "Majority." A Menshevik is a moderate revolutionist. a "Bolshevik" is a "whole hogger," who is determined to obtain the earthy paradise instantaneously. FARMINGTON, MO. By D. F. Baker. Mr. and Mrs. P. M.

I suffered with Sciatic Rheumatism for 13 weeks. My flesh was so scary I could not stand my clothes to touch me. The palms ran from my his to my big toe, on the left side, and felt like a thousand needles were piercing my flesh. I did not rest day or night; now I can sleep like a baby from 9 at night till 4 in the morning. I was very nervous and depressed in spirit and the palms in my head were so severe I thought at times I would lose my mind. I feel better now than I have since had August. I had not been able to be out of the house since October 23, when a friend advised me to try these remedies.

THE RELATION OF THE NEGRO TO THE SELECTIVE DRAFT Provost Marshall General Tells Of The Patriotism, Valor And Cheerful Service Of Colored Men Called.To Defend Flag WASHINGTON, D. C. (7) The following extract from the official report of the Provost General of the United States gives a highly interesting and informing story of the part played by the Colored soldiers who were called to the defense of the flag of this nation through the operation of the selective The part that has been played by the Negro in the great world drama upon which the certain is now about to fall is but another proof of the complete unity of the various elements that go to make up this great nation. Passing through the sad and rigorous experience of slavery; ushered into a sphere of civil and political activity where he was to match his enemies still with those of his former master, gradually working his way toward the achievement of success that would enable both him and the world to justify his new life of freedom; surrounded for over half a century of his new life by the specter of that slavedom through which he had for centuries past laboriously toiled; met continuously by the prejudice born of tradition; still the slave, to a large extent of superstition fed by ignorance—in the light of this history, some doubt was felt and expressed, by the best friends of the Negro, when the slave was freed; to the power of the nation, whether he would possess sufficient stamina to measure up to the full duty of citizenship, and would give to the Stars and Stripes, that had guaranteed for him the same liberty now sought for all nations and all races, the response that was its due. And, on the part of many of the leaders of the Negro race, there was apprehension that the sense of fair play and fair dealing, which is so essentially an American characteristic, would not, nay could not, in a country of such diversified views, with sectional feeling still slumbering but not dead, be meted out to the members of the Colored race. Feara Groundless. "How groundless such fears, how ill considered such doubts, may be seen from the statistical record of the draft with relation to the Negro. His race furnished its quota, and uncomplainingly, yes, cheerfully. History, indeed, will be unable to record the fullness of his spirit, and the opportunities for enlistment were not opened to him to the same extent as to the whites. BOYS IN FRANCE EMBARKATION CAMP, SECTION 1, ST. NAZAIRI, FRANCE From Sergent G. W. Draper, Co. H. 8094 Pioneer Infantry.) from St. Louis, principally comprising the 17th Ward, are proud to send this greeting your good paper, the Argus, which is a paper we are proud of and always read with care, and take this opportunity to say we are a fighting, loyalited States army bunch, that are doing our bit, and came into the war with no other idea than to make a cord for ourselves, and race, and give a splendid account of ourselves in the SHOW.ME boys can. We went out of St. Louis to Camp Dodge, fa., August 5, with our hearts fulful of zeal and true genuine respect for the prayers Dr. Shaw, D. D., positioned in our behalf to that supreme dey, passed away to one month in the mail sent to France to the real fighting forces in the A.E. to help win the war for our Since joining the A. E. F. our experience has broadened, and yet we dare not say our sacrifices are many we are patient to bare what may come, to be persistent for justice, and now the armenian is signed, peace has come, but not the peace most desired, with all the loyal work both home and abroad, we watch with interest the peace conference and pray that the sacrifices already made will be rewarded ourselves and people. We have been doing work behind lines, were on our way to the front, when the armistice was signed, and we anticipated a much earlier return of our editors, clergymen and citizens are doing at home. It serves taken many an A. E. F. Colored soldier to see it, to take an active part in political and civic affairs if he is a military officer in behalf of his rights and justice. Our infantry is the 809th Pioneer Infantry. In everything we are first. We are now located at St. Nazare, an old seaport town, on the bay of Biscay. We enjoyed a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Along athletics and sports, we have a strong Corporal Leo Patterson, champion lightweight pigilist of Missouri, sitting over here—won six bouts, but one and will now tour the countries of France and Italy for exhibition bouts. Private Webster. Owaley is doing wonderful work entertaining with a very good book, "The Tour." Our football, under direction of Sergeant Voories, is all stars. Sergeant G. W. Draper, athletic director of the baseball team, with Sergeant Earl C. Tyler, captain, beat the champion Whites of this part of the A. E. F. Best two out of three for the first time. The lead to stay. Three thousand, witnessed our game today, the 12th, which decided the contest. Our company composes of Missouri and Indiana boys, a lovely bunch, that has that race pride, don't stand for that prejudice that some times is accorded them. That same greeting them, wives, brothers and sweethearts, especially Captain Shackellock Major Hatcher the Boaters Club and all the civic leagues. We congregated Mr. Turpain and wish him good luck. Some of the boys who attended THE ST. LOUIS ARGUS OF THE NEGRO ECTIVE DRAFT Rural Tells Of The Patriot- ful Service Of Colored To Defend Flag But enough can be gathered from the records to show that he was filled with the same feeling of patriotism, the same martial spirit, that fired his white fellow citizens in the cause for world freedom. "As a general rule, he was fair in his dealings with draft officials; and in the majority of cases, having the assistance of his white employers, he was able to present fairly such claims he had had, and he had, for the consideration of the various draft boards. In consequence, there appears to have been no racial discrimination made in the determination of his claims. Indeed, the proportion of chima's granted to claims filled by members of the Negro race compare favorably with the proportion of the white race. Eager to Accept Terms. Eager to Accept Terms. "The attitude of the Negro to the war, and especially to the draft, was one of great importance to the Negro community, in draft, in fact of an eagerness to accept its terms. There was a deep resentment in many quarters that he was not permitted to volunteer as white men, by the thousands, were permitted to do in connection with National Guard units, and other branches of military service which were closed to Colored men. One of the brightest chatters in the whole country was Colored, and the acceptance of the draft and his splendid willingness to fight. His only resentment was due to the limited extent to which he was allowed to join and participate in combat or "fighting" units. The number of Colored drattes accepted for military duty, and the comparatively small number of them claiming exemptions, as compared with the total number of white and Colored men, and the interest of an interesting study and reflects much credit upon this racial group. "Many influences were brought to bear upon the Negro to evade his duty to the government. Some effort in certain sections of the country was made to induce them not to register. That the attempt to spread German propaganda was a miserable failure may be seen from the statement of the United States Senate, in particular of the Department of Justice of the United States Senate committee. "The Negroes didn't take to these stories, however, as they were too loyal. Money spent in the south for propaganda was thrown away." To the St. Louis Argus. MCONTOIR, France, February 8. Through the kindness of someone, your publications of December 27 and January 7 were sent to this camp, and I want to send my heartfelt appreciation for the information they contained. I am not from St. Louis, but some of my dearest comrades are from that city, namely, Srgs. Harry F. Love, James F. Campbell, Theodore Alexander, Clarence L. Jenkins and Lohman Ross. We all certainly enjoyed ourselves. And I am sure I voice the sentiment of all the boys of the Company when I say, I appreciate every step toward the advancement of the Race, and we that are over here are trying to conduct ourselves as men. When I read the article giving the number of those lynched since the beginning of the world war, it grieved me and caused me sadness and the unfortunate entire Race. With no greater desire than that such sets shall cease, I hope for the success of all. Through your paper I wish to extend a hearty appreciation and compliment each one for the good they have done and what they are doing for the benefit of the Race. Respectfully, SGT W. W. MADAMS. Co.

"Partial reports from 28 states received in answer to questionnaires turned out by the council of national defense show more than $83,200,000 in expenditure already authorized. These reports included roads, canals, reclamation construction, and the erection of public buildings. "In order to provide necessary employment for returning soldiers, salaried jobs must be offered to all eligible states, county and local community in force in this work. "The problems faced by the states are diversified, but it is pivotal that there is now a total of more than $100,000,000 worth of public work authorized or financed. The $29,200,000 already reported is a conservative figure, as it is made up from funds already handed for actual projects, budget items for road work and definite items for public improvements."

Secretary of the Interior Lane points out that there are 700,000 men of draft age in the United States who cannot read or write in English or in any other language. There are 5,500,000 persons over ten years of age who cannot read or write in any language. The regular army never enlisted illiterates, but the draft act brought into the army approximately 35,000 illiterates and as many more who were almost illiterate. These soldiers could not sign their names. They could not read the manual of arms. They could not read their letters or write home. They could not read their daily orders posted on bulletin boards in camp. They could not understand signals in time of battle. The economic loss through illiteracy is estimated at $25,000,000 a year, on the conservative assumption that the productive labor value of an illiterate is less by only 50 cents a day than that of an educated person. Ten per cent of our country folk cannot read or write a word. In view of these facts, Secretary Lane urges an appropriation for a systematic campaign to eradicate adult illiteracy. LOVER WITH WINGS --- No more your charlot with wings Shall sail the conquered sky; How long before my heart shall cease To hear you planing by? You went the hard way to the stars, Lover of mine with wings? So often and so long outsoared, The trail of earthly things Was but the chain of gossamer That snaps at noon's fierce kiss; Nay, was the love that bound our souls So frail a thing as this? O fine, fall spirit! Dreamward-bound, I climb your trackless space; Is there yet room among your stars For my remembered face? Must you made for me is hushed; Yet a small string, I hear the threshold of flight Lover of mine with wings! -Ethel Hewitt in Harper's Magazine Uses Blocks of Ice in Making Hollow Concrete According to the Bruckenbau, the production of hollow concrete bodies completely imploded, which has hitherto only been possible within certain limits, is made easier by the new patient system of Stefan Rohm of Munich, who proposes to inclose a block of ice of the required shape in concrete. Of course, small openings or channels would be left, by means of which the 'shaw water could escape'. In this way it is possible to produce not only small concrete bodies with hollow center but large ones as well. The process can be applied to artificial slone. Pig Iron From Sands. Experiments in New Zealand have demonstrated the practicability of producing pig iron from iron sands. The development, of the industry has reached the stage where iron is actually produced at the rate of 15 tons per day. Plans are now being made for greatly enlarging the plant. Sheep in Uruguay. The sheep of Uruguay are amazing in number. They seem to fill every hill and valley for miles. Statistics show that there are 27,000,009 within the bounds of the country. FIRST NEGRO TO SIT ON JURY MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The first case of a Colored man sitting on a jury in Milwaukee circuit court occurred recently when Lawson Forde 724 Winebago street. was selected as a viremman in a case being tried in Judge Turner's court. According to the deputies and judges of the court, it was the first time to their knowledge that a Colored man had sat in a jury box in that city. THE ST.

Size of Poland Ranks as Fifth European Nation Notwithstanding the fact that in the war nearly 3,000,000 Polish-speaking soldiers were forced into martial combat, driven into battle by German and Austrian and Russian conscriptions, to fight their cousins and brothers, many persons seem to believe Poland a small nation, writes Frederick Moore in World's Work. They forget the magnitude of its historic domain and the numbers of its people. The kingdom of Boleslaus the Great (002-1025) stretched from the Baltic sea to the Carpathians. It included part of Saxony, the whole of Silesia, and stretched away almost to Berlin. In 1772, when came the first dismemberment, Poland covered 300,000 square miles, almost 100,000 miles more than the German empire of today. Its population was 11,500,000. It ranks, indeed with Italy as the fifth European nation. Before the outbreak of the war there was a compact mass of 35,000,000 people in Europe speaking the Polish language; and whatever ruler might claim dominion over them, they were one; no mutilation of the national body, no cruelties or oppressions, could disover the Poles in spirit. They remain today one nation in language and in aspirations, despite a century and a half of political slavery, and through all these years the love of liberty has burned within them as an inexhaustible tame. Former Kaiser Tried to Be Sure of "Me und Gott" The kaiser's religious mysticism offers a very inadequate shield for his conception of personal sovereignty. David Jayne Hill says in his "Impressions of the Kaiser." A mystic he seems to be but in practice he is a realist and an opportunist of the most sfrenuous type. In Turkey he wore the dress and uttered the speech of a sincere Mohammedan. At Rome he visited the pope and sent gifts to him as if he were a fervent Catholic. Exofficio he was a Lutheran and urged all to help him "maintain religion in the people." In Queensland. The natives of Torres Strait Queensland, make numerous ornaments out of tortoise and pearl shells. Hair combs, carrions, finger, rings, chains and brooches made of tortoise shell and inlaid with mother of pearl are given an artistic finish. And often the only tool used is a knife or a piece of broken glass. WISE AND OTHERWISE It spoils a favor if your are asked to return it. Nothing boosts the value of a blessing like its removal. The orator deals largely in quotations speaks volumes. Sometimes a man avoids a lot of trouble by having a bad memory. Only those who have plenty of gold ever get anything out of a silver wedding. Make the truth your motto and your guide and you will be the gatherer in the end. SUNSHINE LUNCHROOM.

"The Making of a Nation," is the title of a book brimful of inspiration, that is being published by The Argus Printing Company. Mr. Ford Harry Hayes is the author. American exports during the year 1918 amounted to $8,150,000,000, or $83,000,000 below the total for the preceding year, and more than double the value of imports. The import total was $3,031,000,000, compared with $2,952,000,000 in 1917. Heavy exports in December brought the total well beyond early estimates. During December, the first full month after the signing of the armistice, exports reached a total of $660,000,000, an increase over the $522,000,000 reported for November, although not up to the high mark of $600,000,000 for December, 1917. Exports for December were low, being $211,000,000 against $251,000,000 for November, and $258,000,000 for December of the previous year. Imports as well as exports of gold continued to decrease, the imports amounting to $82,000,000 in 1918, against $322,000,000 in 1917, and the exports to $41,000,000 and $371,000,000 in the same year. Imports of silver increased from $53,000,000 in the calendar year 1917 to $71,000,000 in 1918. The exports of silver during December, 1918, amounted to $58,000,000, a larger amount than in any month during the last three years. For the calendar year exports of silver amounted to $255,000,000 in 1918, against $84,000,000 in 1917. Soda Fountains Are More Profitable Than Liquor Bars in New York City Most of the soft drinks now sold are too sweet to suit the taste of the average man, according to a writer in the New York Commercial. Old-fashioned ginger beer and ginger ale made with real ginger, instead of red pepper, or capsicum, as the trade calls the extract, would make a hit when prohibition comes in force. Raspberry vinegar, loganberry juice, pure apple juice, grape juice, lemonade and similar drinks should command a large sale in the soft drink bars and our hotels after July 1 next. The great thing is to give the people pure beverages at fair prices. Today soda fountains are more profitable than liquor bars in many parts of New York City. In the alcohol-less poor men's clubs of the prohibition period that will supplant saloons, the secret of success seems to lie in furnishing beverages that do not clog or sicken. There are plenty, if those in the business are wise and honest enough to sell them. The cares of the day, old moralists say, Are quite easy to perplex one. Then drive today's sorrow away till to morrow. And then put it on till the next one. —Charles Dickens Food for the Family. A variety of salads, crisp, simple, well-dressed with a simple French dressing, makes the task of planning meals easier and the meal more wholesome. For a dinner salad, lettuce, water cress, endive or Chinese cabbage, with a plain dressing of any kind preferred, is liked. Jellied Vegetable Salad. Take a half cupful of thinly shredded cabbage, one half cupful of cooked peas, a tablespoonful or two of small cubed cooked beets and a half cupful of pennuts. This will be a good combination. Sink one tablespoonful of gelatin in one quarter of a cupful of cold water and dissolve in one cupful of boiling water; then add one quarter of a cupful of sugar, the same amount of mild vinegar, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and one half teaspoonful of salt. Strain, cool and when the mixture begins to thicken, add the vegetables and nuts; there should be about one and three quarters cupfuls. Turn into a ring mold and chill thoroughly. Arrange in a platter with shred cold roast bacon garnished with water vines. Sardine and Lettuce Salad. Skin and bone three sardines for each serving, arrange on crisped bread and garnish with a stuffed olive; add an squeeze of lemon juice and a spoonful of marmalate on the side of the plate. Lettuce With Roguefort. A most delicious salad for those who are fond of the cheese is prepared by blending a tablespoonful of Roquefort cheese with paprika, a bit of salt and French dressing. Four over the head lettuce just before going to the table. A bit of cusup may be added, if liked, or a transpoffent of Worcestershire sauce. Tomato Salad. Tomatoes may be served in numberless ways as salad. Cut in cups and filled with chopped chumbreau, an onion and a good dressing is one very appetizing way. A thick slice of tomato, topped with a slice of hard-cooked egg and a spoonful of salad dressing; a slice of tomato heaped, with chopped celery and onion and salad dressing, all are good.
