Herewith is presented the vital section of a report which General Leonard Wood, formerly chief of staff, now in command of the department of the east, with headquarters at Governor's island, made to the secretary of war the other day. Recommendations in the report for the reorganization of the army are accepted by military men as the first steps that must be taken in any plan for preparing the army for a great war. It is upon these recommendations that Representative Gardner board, in part, his resolution for an investigation of the military defenses of the nation. When the Gardner resolution is finally considered by the rules committee at the coming session of congress the following recommendations made by General Wood will be presented as a concise embodiment of the fundamental needs of the army. --- "First-d—The establishment of a reserve of trained men for the regular army sufficient to bring le immediately to full statutory strength and to replace the losses of the first three months of war. "Second—The prompt provision of the remaining 42 per cent of our very modest project for field artillery guns as yet unprovided for and the necessary ammunition for those now made or under manufacture. The present shortage in ammunition constitutes a grave source of danger. Ammunition of this type cannot be bought in case an emergency should arise requiring its use without great delay; no nation carries it for sale. It cannot be manufactured in this country, no matter what efforts we make, without such delay as would probably render it unavailable during the emergency. The condition is a very grave one, greatly diminishing our chance of success in ammunition production and should be remedied with the least possible delay, in importance of promptly securing this ammunition capopt, be too strongly stated. : "Third.—The creation of the necessary organization to give three complete tactical infantry divisions within the continental limits of the United States. "Fourth.—The enactment of such personnel legislation as will eliminate effectively the unfit and stimulate the efficient officer to continued efforts through establishing a condition under which progress in rank and command will have a close and dependent relationship open capacity, fitness and accomplishment. Such is not the condition now. "The first and second of the above recommendations deal with conditions which should be corrected with the least possible delay, as their continuance means disaster in case of war. Their correction will take time, and measures looking thereto should be pushed as rapidly as possible. "The third is necessary to complete one field army of regular troops within the continental limits of the United States. It means a field army of about 70,000 troops a population of more than 90,000,000. "The fourth is essential if we are to attain the highest degree of efficiency." General Wood's recommendations deal only with the regular army and its most apparent weaknesses. Questions relating to the militia and a volunteer army have been argued in the war department and been congress ever since the miserable showing made by the embryo soldiers who jumped into the factory and office into the country's service during the Spanish war. ```markdown ``` ADVERTISING PAYS PARSON. In Two Years He Married Ninety-two Couples at Paris, Ill. Terre Haute, Ind.-The Rev. H. H. Peters, pastor of the First Christian church of Paris, ill. desires the patronage of couples who go over the state line from Terre Haute to the Illinois Greene Green. He is not diffident. Therefore he has written to a Terre Haute newspaper to have it say: "Paris has a sure enough marrying parson—the Rev. H. H. Peters of that city has qualified. In less than two years he has married ninety-two couples, of whom twenty-two couples were from Indiana. The First Christian church of Paris is a large organization of over 1,200 members. The church is one block from the public square and two half block of the interurban station. The parson has an office in the church and is ready to meet the young people at all hours. If people are determined to leave Indiana to get married they can do no better than strike for Paris and look up the marrying parson." HIGH COST OF EDUCATION. Doubles In Twelve Years in Minneapolis Schools. Minneapolis.—It cost $39.81 per pupil for elementary education in Minneapolis public schools in 1914, as compared with $18.39 in 1902, and the high school cost per pupil in the same period has mounted from $38.42 to $72.69. These comparisons have been made by Miss Katherine Brazlee, secretary to School Superintendent F. E. Spaulding. The cost of heat, light and upkeep of buildings is not included in these figures. In 1902 there were 61 buildings in use, 906 teachers and 30,682 pupils, as compared with 74 buildings, 1,423 teachers and 49,167 pupils enrolled in 1914. The wider range of courses and the care given defective children are given as causes for the increased cost. London—That motor artillery may be used by the belligerents before the present war is over is the conclusion of a unanimous expert expelled in an article published there. He bases this idea on the success of motor transport over broken country. Approving the phrase "this is a motor war," he says: "One of the most interesting phases, in face of future developments of automobility for military purposes, is those vehicles which have been designed and which are being used for breaking across country where roads do not exist or where surfaces are exceedingly bad. In this connection some extraordinarily ingenious pioneer work has been done in this country, notably the Diplock-Pedrall. If the inventor had received more support undoubtedly this system of self-propelled vehicle could have been brought to a stage at which its practicability would have been recognized throughout the world today. As it is, since 1878 he has been performing his machinery every year and going to an extraordinary stage before the war. Out of the heavy machines that the Germans are using reveal, moreover, that have not been slow to study his仁雄isen scheme whereby a self-propelled road vehicle can also be made to break across country, over plowed fields or any other surface that it may be necessary to negotiate. "In Belgium the Germans have been using heavy motor tractors with wired wheels in front, designed to insure steering way when going through slime, in that whichever way they tend to slide they must presently dig themselves in deeper laterally. The rear driving wheels are really a variant of another British idea evolved in some of the motor sledges that were taken with Captain Scott on his antarctic expedition." COW EATS "FRUIT" ON HAT. Knocks Woman Down and Injures Her to Get Ornaments. Peckham, Colo.—The fondness of the family cow for fruit came near causing Mrs. Paris Cogburn serious injury and resulted in the destruction of a fine new hat and its ornamental trimmings. The cow saw the fruit on the hat just as the woman left the house and started down, and the hat while she stepped on her hip while she stepped on her hip. Help arrived, and the woman was taken into the house, where medical assistance was summoned. She had a deep gash in her hip. **English Walnut Record.** Galt, Cal.—On the farm of Alfred C. North at Valley Oaks a young English walnut orchard holds a record which many of the old settlers claim to be the most remarkable in the state. Last March North put out forty acres young walnut trees. By actual means the walnut trees was found that a number of the trees twelve feet high, showing a growth of ten feet in seven months. A large acreage in this vicinity is being planted to this variety of walnut. Mother's Vision of Stain Son Leads to an Arrest. Butte, Mont. "The arrest of A. J. Crisler, for whom officers had been searching since the finding of the body of Jonas Brown, a homesteader, in a shallow grave near a homestead claim which had been occupied by Crisler, is reported from Regina, Canada. Brown was murdered near Glasgow, Mont. in the northern part of the state, his head having been split open with an ax, presumably as he slept as Crisler's guest. The body, attired only in night clothes, was dragged to a hole nearby and a few shoelfolds of earth thrown in. Suspicion attached to Crisler when he was seen driving a team that had belonged to the missing man. It was a dream of Brown's mother that her son had been murdered and buried that caused her to arouse the officers, and a search revealed his decomposed body. The crime was committed last April Section Foreman Discovers Sole Surviver of Bank Robbers' Gang McMurray, Wash.-While looking for a honey tree in the woods near Pilchuck, Andrew Austin, foreman of a Northern Pacific section gang, discovered a man sleeping. The man corresponded to the description of the lone survivor of the gang of Sedro-Woolley bank robbers, for whose capture a reward of $1,000 has been offered. He had a well filled cartridge belt about him and an automatic pistol in a holster, while on his face was a ten days' growth of beard. Austin stole quietly away and notified officials of his discovery, with the result that within a short time the surrounding country was filled with men eager to capture the outlaw. The search had been conducted heretofore along the international boundary. Haverstraw, N. Y. - Unique in dramatic situations that murder trials have brought about is that which will arsse when William V. Cleary, the Democratic boss and town clerk of Haverstraw, comes to trial in New City shortly for the killing of his eighteen-year-old son-in-law, Eugene M. Newman. It lies in the harrowing position in which the dead dad's girl wife, Cleary's daughter, will find herself. To appear upon the witness stand in defense of her father involves the necessity of her memory of her youthful husband; to ignore her Anglican displease and remain away from the courtroom or to take the stand and be forced to give evidence against him obviously carries with it poignant distress, the torture of filial affection. Newman was shot dead in Cleary's office last July. Eugene Newman and Anna Marie Cleary were first attracted to each other when he was in knickerbockers—of fourteen—and she at sixteen had just assumed the dignity of shoe top skirts. The only shadow on it all was Cleary's attitude. He didn't like the boy. There wasn't the objection of their being so youthful, for they did not ask to be allowed to marry him. They said they knew they were too old and that marriage wait. But when Newman was eighteen they were married. When young Newman entered Cleary's office with the marriage certificate in his hand he was shot. The state declares that Cleary was prompted by vicious spite against the boy because he had overridden Cleary's opposition and outwitted him by marrying the boss' daughter. On this crucial point, of course, the testimony of young Mrs. Newman might prove all important. In her tragic quandary she has said of her father: "I are say my father was so furious to think Gene and I had run away and been married that he absolutely lost his head. For any one to attribute any other reason for my father killing my husband is to cast a slanderous rejection on my husband that I will not permit. Now that my husband is dead his memory is too sacred to me for me to stand by and allow persons to throw mud on his character. "Please do not ask me if I have forgiven my father. You must realize that I am in a terrible position. My husband is dead, and no atonement my father could possibly make can brin' to protect his memory. In danger the least I can do is to protect his memory. On the other hand, my father stands. Of dying in the electric chair, and I to protect my husband's memory I cannot allow my father to suffer that fat- My one hope is that I will not be called at the trial." Dillsburg, Pa.-David Bishop, a farmer of Monaghan township, near Grantham, lost a valuable horse by death in an unusual manner several day ago. Mr. Bishop was riding the horses to the barn when a large hog at the side of the road made a sudden jump to the horse's hind feet, sinking its long trunks into the horse's side and tearing a long, deep cut, which caused death before a veterinarian could be called. Found Amid Many Other Dead After French Victory—Correspondents Tell Many Unusual Stories of Incidents on Firing Lines—Raid on London by Air Is German Plan. Paris—A note appended to a recent official statement from the war office tells of one of the many side tragedies and heroic deeds of the war. In Belgium a few days ago, the note says, a German column marched on Dr Grachter bridge, forging before it a group of French zouaves who had been ```markdown ``` taken prisoners. The French trenches ceased firing after the Germans had forced the zouaves to cry out "Cease firing!" When the zouaves were very near the bridge, however, one of them yelled out in a commanding voice, "Open fire, nom de Dieu!" Involuntarily the French trenches opened a volley at the command. The trenches that every zouave was killed, and the Germans were finished off with mitrailleuse. The French then took the bridge. The name of the French hero who gave the command to fire remains unknown. There was nothing from which he could be identified in the heap of bodies on the bridge. Many other touching stories are told by correspondents. In a diary found on a dead German officer at Dixmude appears this description of the horrors of war: "Man is becoming a beast. There is no respite from the roar of the guns. We are not alone. One of our pontoons across the Vase has been destroyed, and that means a more horrible inferno than ever. "On every side are the dead and dying. Our colonel and major—indeed, three-fourths of our battalion—we have left on the bloody field. Moreover, the confusion of the units is unbelievable. "A regiment, battalion or company no longer exists. All is now debris. We just wander about and have nothing to do but make targets for the enemy. We are everything is impossible, but the only order we hear from our base is "Go out." Russia's soldiers take a sporting delight in battle. They carry this quality so far that they sometimes embark their officers. Cossacks chafe for action. When they can't have action they search for imitations and sport. During a recenl hill songs were sung, races run and imaginary Turks' heads pierced by wildly charging horsemen. The Austrians fired and killed the pony of a Cossack jockey who was three yards from the winning post. The jockey rose and by a terrific exertion of will dragged his pony past the winning post. He was declared the winner. Bank Clerk Kills Three Bears. Weaverville, Cal.,-Three bears were killed within five miles of here in day by Van B. Young, bank clerk who was out hunting alone with two dogs. He came upon a mother and an uncle, the mother was dispatched quickly, but the mother put up a strueous sight before the innermost killed. This is more single handed beak killing than any other local hunter hauled off. Defective Page RAISES CHICKEN THIEVES. Otherwise Known as **skunks**, Which Are Profitable. Greenville, Cal.-Greenville has now established one of the most unique industries in the state—namely, a skunk ranch. Early in the spring Will Stevens, a butcher, formerly of Goldfield, rented the F. W. Peck ranch and entered the business on a small scale. Young skunks were captured in various parts of Indian valley and placed in pens. They grew and multiplied rapidly. The business proved so lucrative that larger skins of corrugated iron were made, and the number of skunks increased. The skins sold for $6 each. The oil is also valuable and is sold to druggists. Stevens now has large skunks that will be ready for market in a couple of months. The skunks will eat all sorts of scraps and waste food, but are especially fond of milk and vegetables. They seem to like human companions and when called come to be petted. To see for large chicken thieves with their long, white striped bodies and bushy tails feeding at a trough like so many pigs is an interesting sight. CHURCH WOMEN HUSK CORN On Farmer's Offer They Add to Aid Society Fund. Marshaltown, Ia. — When Charles Miller, a Jasper county farmer, offered the Ladies' Ald society of the Christian church at Kellogg an acre of his best corn if the women would pick it, he found he could not run a "bluff." The women snapped up the offer in a hurry. Attired in overalls or in old clothes they in two hours picked and cribbed the entire acre, which yielded forty-eight bushels. A citizen who was interested in the society's work offered the women 80 cents a bushel for the corn and 150 cents a 5 cents if they husked it. This they did. Four other citizens agreed to donate 5 cents for each bushel husked, so that the forty-eight bushels brought the church women $1.05 a bushel or $50.40, which goes into the society's treasury. Washington.-Seven million eggs of the humpbacked salmon spawned in Alaska waters have been rushed across the continent by the federal bureau of fisheries to replace the all but extinct Atlantic salmon of Maine waters. Their destinations are the bureau hatchery stations at Green Lake and Craig Brook, Me. Dr. H. M. Smith, director of the bureau, is personally interested in the attempt to give Maine a new salmon industry. With the single exception of the Penobscot river, where Atlantic salmon come to spawn, there are but few salmon left in the waters of Maine. In the fall of 1913 the bureau sent 16,000,000 humpbacked salmon to that state, but because of the tendency of that species to spawn prolifically only every second year the bureau is planning to liberate a new stock of the young fish next spring, which will spawn, it is expected, in the "off year." The humpbacked salmon will spawn near the mouth of a small river or stream, while the other Pacific coast varieties as well as the Atlantic salmon insist on the headwaters of large streams as spawning places. The Chinook salmon of the Columbia river will very often "run" 2,100 miles upstream to spawn, while the humpbacked variety has no objection to spawning as near as 2,100 feet to the mouth of the stream. FLOWER STALK SAVES BOY. His Guardian Uses It to Pull Him Out of Cistern. St. Joseph, Mo.-A sunflower stalk in the hands of Mrs. Adeline Grimm saved the life of six-year-old Francis La Bouff, who had fallen into a cistern in Mrs. Grimm's back yard. The boy was playing near the cistern, and when he stepped on the covering the rotten boards gave way, and he plunged through into the water. Mrs. Grimm, who is the boy's guardian, crushed a tall sunflower out by the roots and thrust one end through the hole. The youngster clung to the end of the stalk while she pulled him from the water. The water in the cistern is more than six feet deep. PRACTICES LAW AT 85. Minnesota Man Attends to All Details of His Legal Business. Rochester, Minn.-Charles C. Wilson, dean of the Olmsted county bar, celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday recently. Mr. Wilson daily gives personal attention to a lucrative law practice, attending to all of the details himself. His legal talent was recognized by the state in 1892, when he was appointed official reporter of the decisions of the supreme court. He resigned in 1896, when the legislature reduced the salary from $3.500 to $2.000 a year. Mr. Wilson has never been an office-seeker, but has devoted his time to the practice of his profession.

Engineers to Examine Ground For $20,000,000 Reclamation Plan. Washington. - The first step in the American Red Cross' outreach plan for the prevention of floods in eastern China through a $20,000,000 reclamation project has been completed with the selection of a board of engineers to examine the ground. The plan has the approval of President Wilson, who was authorized by congress to send the Red Cross a specified number of army engineers skilled in river work. The board will consist of Colonel William Luther Silbert of the corps of engineers. U. S. A., builder of the Gatun locks and at Pamina; Arthur Powell Davis, chief engineer of the allied Valeen reclamation service, and Daniel Wheeler, professor of engineering in the University of Wisconsin. Charles Davis Jameson, general advisory engineer, who made the preliminary examination of the affected district and on whose report this board is being sent to China, will accompany the engineers. When the work is undertaken Colonel Silbert will have the Red Cross reclamation at the request of the Chinese government for appointment as engineer in chief of the conservancy work. DARING RESCUE OF CHILD. Reading Laborer Carries Two-year-old to Safety With Teeth. Reading. — A two-year-old child, Mary Perluna, from her home, near the old Seyfert furnace, to be discovered several hours later on a decaying bridge 100 feet above the Reading railway tracks. A strong breeze and the weakened bridge made her position extremely dangerous, and the only way to reach her quickly was by a rough climb up the precipitous side of a cinder bank. Stephen Circella, a young Italian laborer, was the hero who rose to the occasion while hundreds of neighbors watched, pinched the sharp bank of slug, tinned the hands and legs, crawled out on the shaking bridge structure, seized the belt of the little girl's dress between his teeth and carried her thus back to safety and her anxious parents. Denver.-For being courteous to an aged woman Robert Reiner has been left $2,500 in her will, but Mrs. Christina J. Evans, who took care of the same old lady's dog until the dog died, for which, she says, she was promised $500 in the will, had to start suit in the district court against the estate in order to collect the money she said she had. The old lady was Mrs. Cella Oster. She was worth about $100,000 when she died a short time ago and divided her money and property among a number of friends and heirs and made several bequests to charitable institutions, but Reiner came in for the rest of the estate, receiving $10,000 from it and all of the money Mrs. Oster had in two Denver banks, accounting to $15,000. Mrs. Oster became a widow a number of years ago and, being childless, she found a new home, unless he would well paid for his little services. Reiner, however, she found to be a different sort, although a young man. He entertained Mrs. Oster in numerous ways and never asked anything in return. When she died he found he suddenly had become rich. When Mrs. Oster made her will she left $1,500 to be paid to Mrs. Evans for taking care of her dog. Daisy, until 1912, died in death. Daisy died in July, 1913, and death made a coddled to her will in which she revoked the bequest to Mrs. Evans. FIRST WHISKY KILLS HIM. Young Man Dies After Convivial Evening With Friends. Philadelphia. After dropping unconscious in his home Edward Cavanaugh, Jr., twenty-one, died soon afterward. According to the police, Cavanaugh went for a stroll with several friends. He never had drunk whisky before. During the evening he had several drinks. He returned home and, according to his father, was not intoxicated. He went to the cellar to remove a nail from his shoe and called that he was dying. His father rushed to his aid, but he died a few minutes later. SAVED LIFE. WON LIBERTY. Convict. Plunged Into Lake and Rescued Drowning Boy. Wichita Falls, Tex.-Plunging into the waters of the Fort Worth and Denver railroad lake, near here, a member of the county convict gang rescued a drowning boy. The boy was Joe Perdee, who was sinking in the lake with other boys and got beyond his depth. The cries of his comrades reached the convict gang at work nearby and one of them plunged into the water and dragged Perdee ashore just in time to save his life. The convict was given his liberty. $2.40 PER YEAR TALKS TO SPIRITS OF DEAD FRIENDS Sir Oliver Lodge is Certain That Soul Lives. RECEIVES SCIENTIFIC PROOF Communication is Not Easy, but it Is Possible, Says Investigator, Aweing Entire Faith in a Future Life—Converses With Departed Scientific Man. His Past Experiments. London—Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the Society For Psychical Research, recently made a striking declaration of his spiritual faith. He expressed his absolute conviction of a future existence and stated that he had conversed with friends who had passed away. Sir Oliver said that once one realized that consciousness was something outside of the mechanism it made use of one realized that survival of existence was naturally the simplest thing. It was unreasonable, he added, that a soul should jump out of existence when the body was destroyed. "We ourselves are not limited to the few years that we live on this earth. We should go on without it; we should certainly continue to exist; we should certainly survive. "Why do I say that? I say it on definite scientific grounds. I say it because I know that certain friends of mine still exist, because I have talked to them. "Communication is possible. One must obey the laws and find out the conditions. I do not say it is easy, but I say it is possible, and I have conversed with them as I could converse with any one in this audience. "Now, being scientific men, they have given proof that it is real, not an M. B. impersonation, not something emanating from myself. They have given definite proofs. Some of them are being published. Many are being withheld for a time, but will be published later. "I tell you that it is so with all the strength of conviction I can muster; that it is so; that we do persist; that people still take an interest in things going on; that they still help us and know more about the things that we need; that they are able from time to time to communicate with us. "I know that man is surrounded by other intelligences. If you once step beyond man there is no limit until you come to the infinite intelligence himself. Once having gone beyond man you go on and must go on until you come to God. "But it is no strange land to which I am leading you. The cosmos is one. We here on this planet are limited in certain ways and blind to much that is going on, but I tell you that we are surrounded by beings, working with us, co-operating and helping, such as people in visions have had some perception of, and that which religion tells us saints and angels are. That the Master himself is helping us, I be interested in them. Sir Oliver is one of the best known leaders of the Society For Psychical Research and one of the most courageous defenders of the theory that the occult may itself be a science with laws of its own, for all that its phenomena are intangible. In the summer of 1908 there were widespread reports that he and some of his friends had had unquestionable communication with Edmund Gurney, Dr. Richard Hodgson. Frederic W. H. Myers and other persons no longer living. These stories were quite circumstantial and declared that the communication had been established through several mediums, among them Mrs. Margaret Verrall, wife of the Cambridge professor; Mrs. Piper and Mrs. Holland. At the time Gurney's spirit was said to have described the living beings as like the telling of a vastly important message to a sleeping person. Most of the messages, however, purported to come from Mr. Myers. It was said at the time that Sir Oliver It was sure at the genuineness of the communications.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5. 1914 STANDING TOGETHER FOR RIGHT The unanimity with which the Colored press endorsed the action of William Monroe Trotter in his protest against segregation was remarkable. Only two or three editors of small caliber, who evidently have some personal grievance against Mr. Trotter, abused the man who has against tremendous odds done battle for the rights of the race. These sore head publishers of papers of little influence will not be able to do much harm. What they have said is more than off-set by strong Southern Democratic newspapers which have rebuked the President for his action. Two Kentucky newspapers were especially strong against governmental segregation. The Louisville Courter Journal: "The Courter Journal agrees with the New York World that the segregation business over in Washington spells rather small. During fifty years, including two Democratic Presidential terms there was no thought of separating the black and white official sheep. Why should the suggestion meet the assent of anybody now. "The segregation order should be revoked. It has no real cause or interest to back it. The issue should not have been raised. Let Mr. Wilson take matters further, into his own hands, and restore the status quo." Says the Lexington Herald: "We regret that the President has again permitted himself to display irritation to those who went to him as Chief Executive of the Nation, and refused to answer questions put to him about the treatment of public employees. "For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens asking him to take action about a matter which is embarrassing to them. "The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most power- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silencest protest makes cone The human race ha test.

SAYS PRESIDENT LOST HIS TEMPER Leading Daily Newspaper of Lexington, Kentucky, Supporter of the Administration, Sternly Rebukes President Wilson for Losing His Temper When He Received the Trotter Delegation. (From the Lexington Herald, Lexington, Kv.) We regret the President has aggronized to those who went to him as Child to answer questions put to him about. When the women who are striving him to a real education, the public official has the right to exercise that he must refuse to be categorized. For the second time he has perished confronted by a delegation of citizens that is embarrassing to him. A new war is即将来临 in the departments at Washington, him of campaign pledges made and a ask charity, but as American citizen accorded other American citizens. The President of the United States that he is not the master, but proper, he is the president, and, therefore, refrain from criticism there is no justification for any such public official, the servant of those who wer the affairs of government. Every human being, whether a student, a professor, an employee, so the President and every other that criticism which is just and proper, he as every other servant, is the sub- right to refuse to answer proper question. It is peculiarly unfortunate that the tied up occasions when women who are the weaker race, are those who the policy of segregation should be able should have no hesitation in so a therefore, he believes that the different States are composed, should believe and state. Has he a right belief? Does the President of the United emeraldral policy, citizens of African- from citizens of Angle-Saxon, Teutonic- public in the world, the United Public in the world, the United of all nations, willing to stand before sanction of his great personality and prejudice?

For the second time he has permitted himself to lose his temper when confronted by a delegation of citizens asking him to take action about a matter of Negro organizations, appointed to the Negroes in the departments at Washington. The spokesman of the delegation him of campaign pledges made and stated that they did not come to him to ask charity, but as American citizens to demand equal treatment to that accorded other American citizens. The states are presumed to be the servant of all the people; he is not the master, but the servant. Under it it is proper that the subjects should appear to believe "the king can do no wrong" and, therefore, refrain from criticism or from questioning. In a Republic there is no justification for any such belief. The President is, as is every public official, the servant of those who elect him, paid by them to administer. Every human being, whether a servant or a master, is entitled to courteous consideration and should be safe from personally offensive criticism. So the President and every other servant should be subject only to that criticism which is just and proper, uttered in a courteous manner. But, as every other servant, is the subject of proper criticism and has not the right to refuse to answer proper questions upon the ground of offended dignity. It is peculiarly unfortunate that he should give the exhibitions of offended dignity upon occasions when women, who have not a vote, and Negroes, who are the weaker race, are those who appeal to him. If he believes that the segregation should be adopted by the United States Government he should have the right to be frankly and giving his reasons therefor. If he believes that the different people of the United States are composed, should each be segregated, he has the right to believe and so state. Has he a right as President, to act in accord with that belief? Does the President of the United States believe that as a matter of governmental policy, citizens of African extraction should be treated differently from Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic or Latin extraction? Is the President of the United States the officer of the greatest republic in the world, that has opened its doors as a referee for all of nations, willing to stand before the peoples of the earth as giving the sanction of his great personality and high office to the perpetuation of race prejudice? Is it to be the policy of the government of the people, by the people, for the people, that any race is to be set aside as distinguished from another? Is the President willing to have himself quoted as authority and cited as an example by those of lower order and more brutal institutes, who, in states where there are a large number of persons of different races favor putting one class above the law and another of different color beyond the protection of the law? At what point will the government as government stop the segregation of different races? As we conceive the purpose of this government it is to treat and equal before the eyes of the law—black or white, red or yellow, Jew or German, important or Catholic—whatever the breed, whatever the creed matters not, at least not to the public official charged with the duty of serving all the people. The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon law to the servant elected by the people, paid by the people, owed to the humblest citizen of the same protection and the same treatment accorded to the most powerful. Neither breed nor creed neither culture should determine the treatment accorded to a citizen by a servant. We are distressed that the President has allied himself with those who believe in the perpetuation of race prejudice and justify race passion. As a private official he has the right to determine his own course; as a public official, the higher office the greater the obligation to act with justice and treat with patience those who must look to the public officer for the protection of the law. It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials. Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a Southern state who educates lychee in the example of the higher official will be cited by the lower official as justification for his course. The mob of the South that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day. ful citizen of the purest Anglo-Saxon of Oklahoma is invalid, in so far as it descent. "It is but a step in descent from the position taken by those public officials in Washington who segregate one race to the public official in a Southern state who advocates lynch law. The example of the higher official will be cited by the lower official as justification for his course. The mob of the South that lynches in the night is but a step further than the official order that segregates because of color in the day." When Southern Democratic daily newspapers have the moral courage to write such strong editorials demanding justice for the race it ought to make the cowardly colored curs who condone cimrocody hide their heads in shame.

COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS JOHN LeCOSTE, Chairman Don't be one of those to say, I'm sorry I didn't go as it will be the talk of the town DONT MISS IT TROTTER'S SPECIFIC DENIAL OF THE INSOLENCE TO PRESIDENT. Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. 17, 1914. William Monroe Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in Government departments stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House last Thursday, arrived in Boston yesterday afternoon, and, after denying any offensive action, said in a speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the newspapermur. "As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter, "I told him I was very sorry I considered him. I had offended him. The President smiled and said: 'We'll call it all right.' When we came out our delegation caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the newspapers. I told the newspaper men about it. We merely desecrated it as a warm affair. "I had gone outside the White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: 'Trotter, you have violated our courtesy of the White House in quoting the President to the press.'" "I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so in ignorance of the rules, and apologized. He accepted my apology. He was not a maverick to publish what I told them, and they consented. Mr. Tumulty said he was satisfied and I left. White House Statement issued. "The report of the conference was then given out from the White House. It seems very peculiar to me, after all, that I was not a thing was all right, that a White House statement should say that I had offended the President of the United States." Did Not Lose Temper or Catechize? "I want to say," he continued, "that neither in manner, language, tone nor in any other way was I discourteous, or insolent to President Wilson. "My whole attitude was that of endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to answer a piece of masterful sophistication and to refute it successfully and to prove it successfully. I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the President full in the eye. "I did not quiz or catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did not arise from the fact that I permitted to declare for segregation of my race and to say that I should regard it as a benevolence and so represent it to my race. "Although it was a trying ordeal to listen to such a statement at length, I had no time any temper, much less lost my temper." DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? (From the Philadelphia Press.) It looks as though the result of the last selection has gone to the newer members in our unreasonable rittable. In no other way can we account for the 'extreme sensitivity and quick resentment which he exhibited in the last year as chairman of a delegation of Colored men undertook to show him that Colored employees were unfairly discharged in some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which discloses any ground for the President'sresentance. He may have been too earnest, positive and aggressive to suit the President. He turned on him as he once before turned on the woman suffrage delegation. He were not to his taste and drove the President into making the absurd statement that he was not at liberty to approve woman suffrage because it was not a cratic platform. He told Trott that the Colored people were segregated in the departments to avoid friction. But there was no friction until Mr. McAdoo met and began to enforce in their departments the principle of the Jim Crow law. Negotiation practiced is wrong in principle because it is disagreeable and unfair to one class of public employee who have a right to be treated by their Government without discrimination. The race affected had a right to be heard in their own behalf and showed spirit in going directly to the President in spite of the fear We weak the fear that the President has lost his head. He is certainly not so happy in these extempore statements, made under the irritation that so easily besets him as in his more studied deliverances which compel the admiration of his opponents and often skillfully covered the failures of his reasoning character of the policy he is commending. THE COLOR LINE VEXES THE PRESIDENT. (From New York Evening Mail.) It is hard to discover, in the rather fully published reports, any sufficient reason for the President's resentment toward Mr. Trotter to persuade him to abandon the policy of several Cabinet officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the number of the college of fifty years and the spirit of the Constitution in establishing "Jim Crow" government. If the spokesman of the Equal Rights League waxed warm in urging the cause of his race, it is not wondered at. That he overstepped the bounds of propriety is not shown. That the President was vexed is all that appears in the published record. If adequate reason for his vexation had been supplied by Mr. Trotter, it would surely have been disclosed. That there was reason for the President's ill temper is quite true, but it is supplied by the Cabinet members who have unwinded policy of segregating Colored employees from white jobholders. The incident recalls the similar vexation shown by the President when he asked him to dismiss an equal suffrage delegation on behalf of the ground that he could not "submit to cross-examination." When a man is right, he will usually lie on his back; the other side; when he knows he is wrong he is very likely to fly off the handle. TELEGRAM TO PRESIDENT WILSON BY DR. W. SINCLAIR, UNABLE TO BE PRESENT WITH DELEGATION. Hon. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Honored Sir: Unavoidable circumstances make it impracticable for me to join the delegation for the secretary of the constitution league, and I believe who are to present a memorial to you on Thursday, the 12th inst., invoking your intervention against the segregation of government employees at Washington or elsewhere on the constitution, and respectfully submit that such segregation oblates the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States, forces hardships and degradations of Colored employees, undermines civilization, is subversive of American independence, contravenes every principle of right and justice, is a shameful reproach to our Christian religion. Segregation represents not the ideals of freedom but the ideals of slavery. We pray that you as the Christian President of this free and Christian nation will use your power and are more than amply entitled to remit this foul blot from our civilization. (Signed), WM. A. SINCLAIR, Field Secretary Constitution League J. E. Milholland's Congratulatory Telegram. Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 13, 1914. Mr. Wm. Monroe Trotter, Race Leader, The Guardian, Roston, Mass.

ZEDRICKS Leading Daily Newspapers of the Country Rebuke the President for Condoning the Jim Crow Policy of the Southern Members of His Cabinet. NO JIM-CROW GOVERNMENT. (From the New York World.) No President ever suffered more from the foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet than Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate interview with a delegation of colored men in the United States to test against the segregation of races in Government departments. The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying out a racialistic government. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the colored clerks, but explained that "he had been informed that the race had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the colored men." The President failed to explain, nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered. Mr. Wilson and Mr. McAdoo got into the Cabinet. For nearly half a century white clerks and colored clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington, under republican and democratic presidents. The World War II defeated the Japanese about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his Jim-Crow proceedings in the Treasury Department. The president thinks that this is not a political question, wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating, and un-American in government is certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States Government, regardless of race or gender, are the colored man has been Collector of Revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent "friction"; yet he would have had quite as much right to do so as he had to segregate the colored employees of the Treasury in Washington. While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few Southern members of the Cabinet have been trying to put patty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate discrimination against African Americans. Worse still, it is a small, mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptuous Jim-Crow government the moment it was established. He ought to set his heel upon it now. It is his administration and to the great political principles which he represents. THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGATION (From the New York Evening Post.) It is a sad blot upon the Wilson Administration that it has tolerated, nay, drawn the color one, without real cause, save, as Mr. Trotter truthfully put it, the racial antipathies of the lions, the lions of llamas and McAdoo. For an Administration which talks about a New Free dom and boasts of having bestowed a new liberty upon business men, not only to be blind to the wrongs of ten million of American citizens, but to be blind to the wrongs of Mr. Wilson can feel keenly for the governmental wrongs of the "submerged 85 per cent" of the people of Mexico, of whom so many are Indians and of a mixed parentage, but he has yet to say a really sympathetic word to the millions in the South who are without voice in their own government. The difficulty lies, of course, in putting yourself in the other fellow's place, in having some appreciation of the prejudice and injustice, to be wrong without the power to remedy the wrong. That Mr. Wilson is unable to visualize this is, we repeat, the more disappointing because there are so many injured persons with whom he has to deal. His unusual vision and imagination leave him, however, when it comes to the disfranchisement of women and to permitting his subordinates to inflict indignities upon American city life. If he could only be one of the submerged 10 per cent of our people in Washington for forty-eight hours he could never have pallied the wrong done, as he is reported to have done. He was enforced for the comfort and best interests of both races, in order to overcome friction. He would know then that it makes neither for the comfort nor for the best interests of women, and adds friction and creates lasting unhappiness among the segregated. This problem has vexed him and caused him heart-ache more than once in his Administration, and it will not cease to plague him until he lays down the precept that sets up equality of treatment of all employees in the Government service. Again, Mr. Wilson is reported to have resented Mr. Trotter's statement that if this discrimination were not ended, the Afro-Americans who voted to abolish the voting ticket, and to have declared that this was "political blackmail." But this is the time-honored American way of showing disapproval of an elective official conduct. Mr. Trotter's statement was declared: "Should I become President in 1912, he declared: 'Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the cause.' What he said son if they had known that he was intending to draw the color line in the departments upon the excuse that there is a certain point in the relations of the races where friction must be avoided, and that fair dealing nor advancing their cause, but putting it back, because it sets the stamp of governmental approval upon color prejudice. To expect after this that the problem can be solved, it is quoted as urging, is to expect the impossible. With Mr. Wilson's feelings as to the ultimate solution of the race problem, we are not today concerned. He may or may not have a constructive proposal. We should not only agree whether a hateful East Indian state shall be established in Washina ton or not. We had supposed, after the investigations of last winter, that the vicious policy had been checked; we understood that it was to be abandoned, and numerous instances the Jim-Growing and no longer been stopped. The more discouraging it is to find the President apparently upholding what the World just calls the "foolish indiscretions of members of the Cabinet." There was no genoise in Washington, in Washington, in Colored and white employees had worked side by side for fifty years. Some of them had been appointed by Grover Cleveland—one of his appointees to high place beware of the fifth-fifth Massachusetts. But the Wilson Administration went out of its way to create the issue if now deplores, and cannot see its way clear to admitting its mistake and re-engraving the only defensible position of absolute equality in the Government service. The way to deal with race prejudice in such matters is not to enhance it by yielding, but resolutely to confront it with a refusal to give in. It is often the case of often prejudice fades away in a given situation, and itself wholly blocked. It is even more surprising how frequently it is merely a state of wind. Often there is no objection whatever to the presence of colored people on the most familiar streets, but it is clearly stamped as mental; let them deeply aspire to equal privileges, and those same people become at once too offensive to be permitted to breathe the same atmosphere. The situation in Washington would be restored in a twinkle of light, and the satisfactory status if the highest authority were simply to lay down the law that there was going to be a square deal for everybody in the departments without the slightest disobjection. But one can be only one class of public seamen to be treated with courtesy, consideration, and absolute justice. THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGATION. (From The Indianapolis News.) The government, which makes laws for the collectors, axes from all, and summons officials to take over time of war, cannot rightly make such distinctions. When men and women enter the public service they must conform to that principle. No one can enter it, but having made his choice he should comply with the conditions of his employment. It is not wholly economic, as Mr. Wison seemed to think it was—it is political as well, not in the narrow partisan, but in the broad sense. The people of the United States should oppose the adoption by their government the thing resembling the Jim Crow policy. THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. (kfom the Chicago Tribune.) We are not ready to concede that any agreement is less clearing under the law than any any such the south wishes to make any such issue as this it will find that the north, where there is prejudice, is nevertheless restless when as a part nation it is asked to declare that the main nation is a piece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it is inconvenient. DR. SPINGARN'S SECOND TOUR. Well-Known White Advocate of Justice to Tour Country Again. Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and one of the most conspicuous figures in the equal rights for Afro-Americans, is soon to make a second tour of the country in the interests of the cause of our race. It will be remembered that last summer we opened meetings in Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cleveland, attracting very large audiences wherever he went, and nearly everywhere winning wide publicity in the cause for the cause of justice to the Negro. Dr. Springarn will speak at Wilmington, Delaware, on November 22nd, at Howard University, Washington, D.C., on November 23rd, and at Harrisburg, Pa. on November 24th. His main tour, which includes the University of January, and he then expects to speak in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Dayton, Columbus, Springfield, St. Joseph, Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Milwaukee, and other cities. He hopes by succeeding tours to cover every the country and to carry his burning passion for the whole nation. All those who are interested in his coming tour, which like all his other work for our race is carried on entirely at his own expense, can obtain further information from Miss May Child Nerdery, secretary of the College for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City Dr. Spingarn was for twelve years Professor of Comparative Literature in Columbia University, New York, and he is a writer and scholar of international reputation. He brings to Columbia a strong scholarship, but eloquence, practical experience, and a passionate享诣. He was born in New York thirty-nine years ago, and for the last ten years he has given uniting devotion to the teaching of the man of independent means, who asked pay of any kind for this work. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which he is chairman, has a membership of about 5,000, with branches in over thirty cities all over the country; and he has published under its direction, has a circulation of over 35,000 a month. Among its other directors are Miss Jane Addams and Dr. C. E. Bentley of Chicago, Archibald H. Grimke of Washington, Moorfield Storey of Boston, and William E. H. Baldwin of John E. Milholland, Rev. John Hayes Holmes, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, Charles Edward Russell, William D. Lwald, Miss Mary White Owington, Mrs. Florence Kelley, Paul Kennaday, and William English Walling of New York. He is in which both white and colored people work together for the equal rights of black folk. Superiors Never Burn Inferiors. (Portland, Adocate.) A superior race will not lynch and burn an inferior race simply because they have the power. Terrible crimes and brutalities will not be permitted against human beings by a superior race and then seek to find ease and peace for an injured conscience simply on the basis of color. ST.

Regular class-work begins October "Beer a Food." Professor Charles Frederick Chandler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent address he said: "Beer is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and yeast. Beer is food. American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cereals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and readily digested food. Both contain alcohol. Beer is not intoxicating in very early stages of development of the foods that is free from beer teria. It is appetizing and aids digestion. I don't believe there is any beer made in the United States that is what you call adulterated. It may be misbranded, but not adulterated. If the prohibitionists drive beer from the household they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food." That our men and women are superior in every way to the average wage earner found in these stores is count when prejudice steps in, so we must fight fire with fire, and those that are able to "get by" peace be with them and it is our duty not to hinder them in any way.

SAINT PAUL, U.S.A. (Special to the Guardian.) Providence, R. I. At last the decision of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. has been handed down and it resolved itself into a very concrete form which was set forth in a resolution offered by the committee on membership, which was as follows: Story. The Providence Journal published the following report: That no distinction because of race or sect will be considered in receiving applications for membership in the Providence Young Men's Christian Association was the decision reached by the board of directors of that institution at a meeting held last evening. This action was taken by the directors because of objections from some persons to the admission of Colored men to membership in the organization and particularly in the many advantages offered by the new building. As soon as it became known that oliver was offered the latter was taken up by different colored organizations and others interested and the directors were urged to take action. Following is a statement given out by the directors after last evening's meeting: "The Providence Young Men's Christian Association for more than 60 years has served the young men and boys of our city in a broad and liberal spirit, making no distinction in receiving applications for membership because of race or sect. We believe that we should continue to be as it always has been, character and moral worth, and that by such standards of selection the MR. WILSON AND "SEGREGATION." New York—To the Editor of THE APEALE. Sir: The interview of William Munroe Trotter and the delegation of colored gentlemen with the President of the United States brings forward again the burning question of the treatment of colored civil servants in Washington. The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully how deep the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them and still inflicts. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal departments ever since the first rumor of it was made public. Over a year ago an investigator was sent to Washington and a report printed. Since that time a representative of the national association has kept in close touch with the face situation, and on one occasion the civil service appeared before the civil service helped kill the bill of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana making segregation legal throughout the federal civil service. Much of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abolished the officers then employed lost their position but the intervention of this association, three association will exemplify its high ideals. We therefore believe it is sufficient for this board to declare that no reason exists for any change in the principles which have heretofore governed the association in its requirements for membership." And we demand Mr. Hawkins resignation, because that if Mr. Hawkins could be issued with the he would send in his resignation not wait until it was asked for. We hope that he will remember that he is in Providence and not in the South nor Westwest; now let the board of directors exact of Mr. Hawkins an explanation of his actions which has caused them to be held up to the ridicule of the world. This was one of the times when the Colored people were united in an effort and they should be given much more freedom to unite stand. They are very illiberal. The fight was led by Rev. J. H. Wiley and Rev. S. W. Smith for the New England Suffrage League and Mr. J. C. Minkins, Rev. J. Harrison and Dr. Robinson for the N. A. A. C. P. branch. We have already renewed our membership. We hope that every reader of the Guardian will read the letter from the pen of M. E. L. Singen, a white man, to the Providence Sunday Journal and see if you think that all our friends are dead. We wish to say to those who live in towns and cities where segregation is proposed, fight it with all your might and if you need any points we will gladly give you the benefit of our experience here. Respectfully, S. W. SMITH. of them were reinstated. When the bureau of engraving and printing moved to its new quarters it was the original idea to segregate colored and white people throughout the entire building, but through the efforts of this association there is no segregation in the lunchrooms or on the roof of the segregation, nevertheless, still exists in segregation, still exists and in the Treasury, and possibly here and there in a small degree in other places. It still remains true that for the first time in half century a President of the United States and distinguished members of his Cabinet have deemed it necessary for the peace and quiet of these United States that clerks in the federal peace, having passed the same examination, have the same rate of pay, must be separated in their work if the ancestors of any of them had a drop of Negro blood. In some cases the "colored" clerks have been so white in appearance that the officials themselves have made mistakes in classifying them. In other cases clerks of all colors have protested against the attempted separation of the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E. SPINGARN.
