NAVY BUSY IN FOREIGN PORTS Statistics Used to Show Need of Increased Appropriations. GUARD AMERICAN INTERESTS Seventy-three Warships Have Seen Actual Service During the Past Year. Navy Short 18,000 Men and 100 Officers—Not Enough Sailors to Man All the Ships. Washington—Seventy-three warships are in employed in protecting Americans and their interests in foreign lands, keeping the United States out of the war and backing Uncle Sam's "moral suasion" policy in Latin-American countries. Since Jan. 1, 1913, from one to seventy-three warships, ranging from super-Dreadnoughts to converted yachts, have been performing near war duty somewhere in the world. This list does not include the ships on duty in Asiatic waters, but does include the Tennessee and the North Carolina, now in eastern European waters. The big "blowup" in Mexico occurred in the February preceding Pres- © 1914, by American Press Association. SECRETARY DANIEL'S LATEST PICTURE ident Wilson's inauguration. Between Jan. 1 and March 4, 1913, President Taft dispatched a number of smaller warships to Mexican and Central American waters. Immediately Mr. Wilson became president turmoll almost throughout Central America and Mexico began to develop into open warfare. No sooner had a few ships been dispatched to the east and west coasts of Mexico than trouble began in Venezuela. A revolution over in the western part of Venezuela, said to have been instigated by General Cipriano Castro, former president and dictator of that country, got well under way before the Washington authorities took cognizance of it. At once two warships were dispatched to the Venezuelan coast. Almost at the same time the cork popped from the bottle the Taft administration had closed up in Nicaragua, and it was necessary to send warships to the east and west coasts of Nicaragua, also to maintain the detachment of marines at Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Hardly had the anchors on the vessels ordered to Nicaragua been hoisted when a loud explosion was heard in Santo Domingo. A revolution had broken out there for the second time in less than a year. Down to Dominican waters rushed two gunboats. Upon their arrival it was learned that in the adjoining republic, Haiti, a revolution also was under way, and wireless orders sent two cruisers scurrying down there. The details of this service will be laid before congress this winter when the navy department is called upon to report the operations of the fleet in an effort to obtain additional ships and men. It is the purpose of Secretary Daniels to inform congress that the long service of the ships in tropical and semitropical waters necessitated the placing of several other vessels in reserve because of the insufficient number of men with which to man the ships. He will tell congress the navy is short now something like 18,000 enlisted men and 100 officers and that in a year from now if no increase is allowed the navy will be short about 22,000 men and about 175 officers. TO MAKE SIRUP FROM CIDER. Government Chemist Conducting Experiments in Oregon. Hood River, Ore.—H. C. Gore, expert of the United States department of agriculture and of the chemistry department, is in Hood River conducting experiments for the government in the making of sirup from cider, which is concentrated by a centrifugal process. The machinery has been installed in the chemical cold storage department of a Hood River produce company and will be in operation for several weeks in the manufacture of sirup that will be used for experimental work during the year. GIFTS FROM INDIAN PRINCES Send $4,000,000, Besides Hospitals, Mo- tors and Farms to England. tors and Camels, to England. London. — Contributions by ruling princes of India to the expenses of the war now amount approximately to $4,000,000, according to a telegram received from Delhi. This sum includes $2,000,000 from the nizam of Haldarabad and $1,650,000 from the maharaja of Mysore. Besides this amount, $950,000 has been subscribed to the Prince of Wales relief fund and the Indian relief fund. A further sum of nearly $150,000 has been given by the chiefs in the form of heavy motorcycles, telescopes and kindred equipment, and $120,000 has been given by Maharaja Scluda of Gwalior, who has also presented a motor ambulance, consisting of forty one cars, for the use of the troops in Europe and is arranging for the establishment of a convalescent home in East Africa. In addition to these gifts, many of the chiefs have presented a large number of horses, mules and camels and even their private motorcars. A hospital ship, which is splendidly equipped, is another of their donations, the Delhi telegram states. All the great native states, the dispatch declares, have now expressed regret to the viceroy that Turkey has joined Germany in fighting England, and all the ruling princes continue to take the keenest interest in the war. TO LIGHT IRIDESCENT CAVE. Newly Discovered Wonder In California to Be Opened to Visitors. Iron Mountain, Cal.—Superintendent Cole of the Hornet and Iron Mountain mines announces that Bear's Dip cave, the newly discovered greatest natural wonder in Shasta county, is soon to be wired electrically and thrown open to the public. Because of inaccessibility less than half a dozen persons have explored its dark depths, containing the strangest, most highly colored and extremely beautiful copper formations ever seen. There are many crystal pools, and when illuminated the cave will be a fairyland. It is expected to attract visitors from all over the state. Metal stalactites of a hundred colors are being prepared for display at the Panama-Pacific exposition by M. R. Dittmar. The mine owners believe the cave will become as great an attraction as eruptive Mount Lassen. DEAD TEN MINUTES, RESTORED TO LIFE Artificial Respiration Caused Heart to Resume Functions. Los Angeles, Cal.-According to three reputable surgeons of Los Angeles, Drs. P. M. Williams, C. S. Hutchison and W. S. Holman, a modern miracle in medical science was consummated in the restoration to life of Mrs. Walter W. Akers, after she had been dead for at least ten minutes. "The raising was not from a theoretical death or a state of coma," said Dr. Williams. "Mrs. Akers was actually dead. Her heart had ceased its functions and there was no pulse, and her eyes were fixed in the stare that to every medical man spells the eternal sleep. Usual tests all failed. She was dead. The end came during a major operation for laparotomy. "Mr. Akers, who was waiting in an adjoining room, was summoned and realized all was over, when seemingly by intuition I began to get busy. I worked hard to produce artificial respiration by the usual methods, but failed. Then Dr. Hutchison inserted his finger through the incision made in the abdominal wall during the course of the operation slowly until the diaphragm was reached. "With one finger on top of the heart, his thumb on the bottom, he made a slight compression, then another and another until his hand was contracting and dilating the organ of life in simulation of heart throbs. He was rewarded in a moment by an expansion of the heart, and then as the organ gradually grew stronger in its beats blood began to flow through the arteries. He intensified this with oxygen and other artificial respiration and after a few moments of this treatment the lungs reluctantly took up their burden. The patient rallied wonderfully fast, and within fifteen minutes another anaesthetic was administered in order to complete the first operation." LIFE SAVER HEIR TO $9,000. Father of Child He Rescued Twelve Years Ago Makes Request. Hudsonville, Mich. - Twelve years ago Oscar Diceman, now of this village, saved a little girl from drowning in a canal in Holland. He was profusely thanked by the child's father and shortly afterward came to this country and forgot all about the incident. A few days ago, however, he received a letter from the old country saying that the father had died recently, and in his will provided a bequest of $3,000 for the man who had saved his daughter's life. Many Jewish Heroes. Berlin - Seven hundred and ten Jewish soldiers have received the iron cross from Germany. Many of them refuse to wear their decorations on the ground that they are emblems of another faith. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY: DECEMBER 26, 1914. MENTAL TROUBLE IN EUROPE. Many Lose Balance Through Terrors of Battle and Fatigue. NO PAUL REVERES EASTERN TIME FOR CHICAGO. Traders Favor Gaining an Hour, but Berlin.—The military medical authorities made preparations at the outbreak of the war for treating mental maladies caused by the terrors of battle. It had been shown by the Russo-Japanese war that the effect of the long drawn out modern battle, with its terrible and incessant rour of artillery, was in a high degree unfavorable to the minds of the combatants, and the record of mental derangements caused by the battle in the far east opened a new chapter in the horrors of war. In anticipation that similar results would attend the present war the German authorities established at Strasburg a special hospital for the treatment of diseases of the mind caused by battle. One of the physicians attached to this hospital has just given in the Munich Medical Weekly some of his observations during the first weeks of the war. He found that mental disorders manifested themselves among the Alaskan population even during the period of mobilization, when the terror of being arrested as a spy was ever present with many persons. Still greater have been the numbers of persons who lost their mental balance through the terrors of battle and especially through long continued fatigue. Some of these patients showed something like hysteria and kept repeating in a dramatic way incidents that they had seen in battle. The writer uses a special term, "neurasthenic depression." to describe the effects upon a large number of patients who had seen continuous fighting. People suffering in this way could not rid themselves of the notion that they were still upon the battlefield and often had the illusion that an enemy was slipping upon them from the rear. MIRACLE MAN WITH ONE ARM. He Supports Family of Fourteen and Self on One and One-quarter Acres. Los Angeles, Cal.-If a one armed man succeeds in supporting a wife and thirteen children on one and one-quarter acres of irrigated land why should a man with a small family and two sturdy arms complain of hard luck? E. R. Davis, a native of Utah, was engaged in mining until he met with an accident and lost his left arm. He bought four acres of land in Milford valley, Utah, of which but a little over an acre is under an irrigation ditch. From this small portion of irrigated land, he says, he has supported a family of fourteen in comfort. He raises vegetables, fruits and berries. OSSIFIED WOMAN IS HELPLESS FOUR YEARS Limbs Like Stone, Speech Affected, but Mind Clear. Meriden, Conn.-With her legs four inches above her knees as rigid and hard as stone and her hands and arms slowly developing the same rigidity, Mrs. William J. Fredericks, fifty years old, has passed into the fourth year of helplessness from a disease that has completely baffled the specialists. Several physicians who have examined Mrs. Fredericks diagnosed the case as perfification or ossification of her limbs. The legs are dry and shrunken. There is no flesh on them except a shrieved and hard brownish substance in which there is no feeling. They are bent slightly at the knee and have been in this condition for over a year. The hands and arms are not so hard, but there is no sense of touch in them. They have lain folded across the woman's breast for ten months. Mrs. Fredericks' mind is unusually clear and active. She can only express herself by guttural mutterings, however, the disease having shown signs in the last few weeks of attacking her vocal organs. Dr. E. C. Bradstreet, her physician, says her case is without hope. She can eat only gruels and soft foods. Mrs. Fredericks was stricken with acute indigestion in 1909 and has been bedridden since. Some specialists who have examined her say the hardening of the limbs can be traced to rheumatism, followed by paralysis. The woman's husband is a small store merchant, but before his wife's illness was well to do. DUCK TURNS INTO SOAP. Fat Bird, Alkali Water, Hot Sun, and There You Are. Lincoln, Neb.-At the State university museum is the body of a duck that has turned largely into soap. Dr. Wolcott found the bird up in the sandhill region on a recent specimen hunting trip. This is the first known specimen of the kind. Dr. Wolcott explains the phenomenon by saying that the duck was fat and the water alkali and the sun hot. The action of the latter on the alkali and the fat simply made soap of that portion of the duck that was susceptible of being so transformed. Civilians and Soldiers Quarrel. London.-Military and civilian prisoners have to be kept in separate camps in England because it was found they constantly quarreled as to their respective bravery. The civilians accused the soldiers of surrendering, and the soldiers accused the civilians of being afraid to go to the front, pitched battles being the inevitable result. Defective Page Brilliant Rays Show Location of Enemy and Make Attacks More Deadly. Vivid Account of Heroic Charge by Prussian Guards Told by Wounded British Soldier. Berlin.—The picturesque courier plays no part in the war of today. Formerly it was his duty to deliver messages and orders from one officer to another, running the greatest risks and facing the fire of the enemy. But he has been replaced by modern appliances, and now instructions are sent from generals to officers on the scene of fighting by telephone. Just as the scouts of the old days have been replaced by the air men in their big dirigibles and the big 42 centimeter stegs guns have replaced the five inch artillery, the telephone replaces the midnight rider with important orders. Battles by searchlights are of almost nightly occurrence in Flanders, according to Ernest Macdamals, the American sculptor attached to the American ambulance corps. "Last week masses of Germans charged the British near Ypres at A GERMAN SOUTT PRONING HEADQUARTERS ON BATTLEFIELD. night," he said. "Beneath a searchlight they dashed through barbed wire. The British waited steadily with fixed bayonets, but the Germans never wavered and went to death herolically. "One of the six inch shells that the Germans were sending from Cernay over the Engelburg into this old Alasian town crashed through the roof of a modest dwelling on the bank of the Thur," writes a correspondent. "A column of black smoke shot up through the hole and a cloud of dust and smoke poured into the street through a big hole in the front wall. The neighbors brought out a woman covered with dust stained red by a stream that flowed from a gash in her scalp. She clutched a piece of pasteboard in one hand. While some of the rescuers washed the red stained dust from her face she watched the others bring out her husband's lifeless body. "If you could see what they have done to your father," she cried bitterly, gazing at the cardboard, and what has become of your home you'd turn your guns the other way. "What she was looking at was a photograph of her two sons in the uniform of the Prussian infantry." The following account of the rout of the Prussian guards is by Private Jackson of a Hampshire regiment: "As soon as it was dark we heard the sound of trumpets, with a lot of shouting all along the line in front of us. We knew what this meant—the Germans had started to charge us. It was a night I shall never forget. They came shouting like mad. All we had to do was to keep up a rapid fire. They broke through our lines just below me. "I fired about 150 rounds after I was wounded, as I could manage all right, it being my left hand, so I expect I killed or wounded a few Germans after they wounded me. When they broke through us we could see it was the kaiser's crack regiment of Prussian guards. Well, I pity them that night, as they must have lost very heavily. "As soon as they broke through below me an officer gave us the order to get out of the trench and be ready to meet them with the bayonet. He told the wounded to try to get back to headquarters the best way they could. "We just got our re-enforcements up in time to make a charge. I stood and watched them a minute as they came up to help us. They killed nearly every German that got through. The rest ran back to their trunches." Traders Favor Gaining an Hour, but Railroads Oppose it. Chicago.—There is widespread discussion here among bankers, stock-brokers, traders in wheat, corn and provisions on the board of trade, merchants and business men generally, over a proposal to change Chicago time from central to eastern time, thus conforming to New York time. Bankers and brokers, most of whom have dealings in New York, almost unanimously favor the change, but there is a wide divergence of opinion among other business men, and the railroads are solidly allied against it. The question was discussed at a special luncheon given by the Chicago Association of Commerce. About a year ago Cincinnati discussed the subject of changing to eastern time and decided against it. On the other hand, Cleveland operates on both eastern and central time. Detroit is said to have varying time schedules. Spokane recently abandoned an attempt to move its clocks ahead one hour to mountain time. A special committee of the American Railway association, after canvassing forty-two railroads operating 86,448 miles of road in Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, found forty roads opposed to any change in the time system. HAD EIGHT SETS OF TWINS. They Were Consecutive In Birth and Boy and Girl In Each. Coswell, N. C.-Squire Robert L. Mitchell, who visited his old home near Ridgeville recently, brought back a bit of rare news. The wife of West Graves, a Negro of that section, has just presented her husband with the eighth consecutive set of twins. The young couple have been married about thirteen years, the knot having been tied by Squire Mitchell when he was a justice of the peace. A remarkable circumstance thereof is the fact that in each set of twins was a boy and a girl. There are eight children living, one of each set having died. "BROKE" HIS WRIST TO GET BIG DAMAGES Many Dollars Collected From Various Claim Agents. Minneapolis, Minn.—How an obedient wrist bone served as a means of livelihood was told in court by Lester Edward Mills, who confessed that it had netted him $2,000 in the last year. It finally caused his downfall, however, and he will serve an indeterminate sentence in the Stillwater penitentiary as the result of sentence by Judge W. C. Leary, before whom he pleaded "guilty" to a charge of attempted grand larceny on complaint of Ralph Wellington, claim agent of the Duluth Street Railway company. All that Mills had done to separate $2,000 from railroads, street railway companies and merchants within the last year has been to fall prostrate over a suit case in the aisle or any obstacle on the sidewalk, gasp for breath and allow his left hand to hang limp from the wrist. Six rides has he taken in ambulances, six fair nurses have smiled at him as the color slowly returned to his face. Five claim agents have drawn checks against their companies, and as many times has Mills pocketed the same. Among the recent settlements made with Mills, according to his story in court, are: June 27, 1913. Great Northern. $125. Sept. 5, 1913. Great Northern. $250. Dec. 20, 1913. Northern Pacific. $1,200. May 6, 1914. Kennedy Bros. $40. Sept. 7, 1914. St. Paul Street Railway company. $250. "I have been in just one wreck," Mills told Judge Leary. "That was March 13, 1905, at Fond du Lac, Wis. I was brakeman on the old Wisconsin Central. My left wrist was broken. About a year ago I thought I could use that injury to collect damages from others. At Duluth I got a fellow with a suit case to get on the street car, and when the car was rounding a curve I fell over the suit case. I complained that my wrist was hurt. They took me to a hospital. Later I came to Minneapolis and met the claim agent at the West hotel. It was only a few days afterward that I was arrested." PRIVATE KILLED SEVEN MEN. Brave English Soldier Awarded Highest Honor In Gift of Country. London.—The Victoria cross has been bestowed on Private George Wilson. Second battalion Highland Light Infantry, for "most conspicuous gallantry near Verneuil in attacking a hostile machine gun." The official announcement describing Private Wilson's gallantry says: "He was accompanied by only one man. When the latter was killed he went on alone and shot the officer and six men who were working the gun, which he captured." Arrival of Shells Announced. Paris.—In the Gazette de la Tranchee, published in the battle lines of the French army, is the request that "soldiers having exercised the profession of hotel managers, ushers or hall porters announce the arrival of German shells in the encampment." THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or clique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. CANAL NEUTRALITY RULE. Only Six Fighting Ships of Warring Nations May Pass at One Time. Washington.—President Wilson recently issued a proclamation announcing the neutrality regulations for the Panama canal zone. It provides that all vessels of belligerent nations shall be allowed to pass through the canal in the order of their arrival at either end, but that twenty-four hours shall elapse between the departure of vessels flying the flags of two nations that are at war. War vessels shall pass through as rapidly as possible and shall not remain in waters adjacent to the canal longer than absolutely necessary. No vessel shall remain in the canal more than twenty-four hours. The docking and repairing facilities of the United States shall be used by belligerent ships only to make repairs that are necessary to their seaworthiness. War vessels shall not be allowed to provision in the canal zone except when absolutely necessary and then shall take on only enough to meet their needs until they arrive at the next port. Aeroplanes are forbidden to cross the zone or to make a landing at any point on the zone. Commanders of belligerent vessels are forbidden to embark or disembark troops in the canal zone except for the purpose of making necessary repairs. Not more than three vessels flying the flag of any belligerent nation shall anchor in the waters adjacent to the canal at one time, and not more than three, making six in all, shall pass through the canal at one time. MOUSE TIES UP WHOLE TOWN. Causes Short Circuit at Light Plant and Everything Stops. Hutchinson, Kan. — An understated mouse short circuiting some wires in the city electric light plant here stopped the street cars, put out all the lights in the city, shut down certain parts of the salt plants, chemical works, flour mills, strawboard plant, newspaper typesetting machines, one telegraph company and other industries depending on electric motors for power for an hour. Edward Benson, assistant engineer at the plant, tried to get the mouse out with a pair of tongs without shutting down the plant, and the little animal jumped into a connection that electrocuted it, causing several thousand people to take a vacation until the burned out switches and wires could be repaired. Mr. Benson was badly burned about the hands, arms and face, but will recover. PHYSICAL BLIGHT AS FRUIT OF THE WAR Offspring of Survivors to Be Weak and Grippled. Washington—no matter upon which side victory rests, declare medical men and scientists, will sweep the devastating hand of physical blight. Children with crippled forms, weak bodies and unbalanced minds will fill the cradles of every nation now at war, offspring of the men made unit for parentage by the rigors of the great conflict. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the National museum and noted anthropologist, is one of the savants who has studied the effect of Europe's conflict upon the children yet, to be born. To him the present war presents a vastly different aspect with regard to future generations than any conflict has ever presented before. Since men of science first began to study the effect of wars upon the human races it has been admitted that whenever the best physical examples of a nation went to war to be destroyed the physical manhood of that nation suffered. Then it was discovered that for every man killed or fatally wounded four died of disease. As warfare approached its present modern character the number of killed and wounded in each engagement decreased, while the number who died from "natural causes" increased. Army physicians say that the percentage of mortality from wounds in the present conflict is likely to be far less than it has been in the wars of the past. But the scientists—both medical men and anthropologists—add to that statement their belief that the loss of the men killed in the war will not detract from the physical welfare of Europe's future sons one-hundredth part as much as will the men who return unwounded from the field, because war is no longer primarily an annihilator of life, so far as the calculations of science are concerned, but a shatterer of nervous constitutions, a creator of neurons thienic wrecks, weakened mentalities and sapped vitalities. REASONS WHY MEN DRINK. "Toothache," "Heavy Cold" and "Stomach Trouble." So They Say. not trouble, so they say. Columbus, Ind.-A. survey of the causes that take men into the city court here shows that toothache is to blame more than anything else. Next to "toothache" is a "heavy cold," and "stomach trouble" runs a poor third. Nearly every man who is arrested on an intoxication charge has some such excuse. There are a few, however, who admit they get drunk just to be drunk and have no excuse to offer.

BRITAIN BUILDS NEW SEA GIANTS Six Super-Dreadnoughts Soon to Be Ready. MINES CAN'T SINK THEM. Nine Thousand Men Working Night and Day in Naval Barracks at Devonport—Five Thousand Sailors and Marines Guard Against Attack—Warsprite a $15,000,000 "Beauty." New York—From an American visitor to England, who through merest chance was afforded exceptional opportunity to inspect the vast naval plant at Devonport, a close range description of the secret fruition of the British admiralty's most closely guarded plans for the crushing of Germany on the high seas has been obtained. What is going forward at express speed behind the walls of Britain's navy yards, if it were known to the German authorities, would dispel decisively any Teutonic belief that Ad- Photo by American Press Association. WINSTON CHURCHILL, FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY. miral Jellicoe's fleet intends to restrict its activities to blockading the North sea and keeping the Atlantic and other oceans clear of enemy vessels. Within six months the lists of the royal navy will be augmented by six super-Dreadnoughts and eight battle cruisers from its yards at Devonport and Portsmouth alone. All of these ships will be equipped defensively and offensively more powerfully than any men-of-war of their respective classes now afloat. At least one of the super-Dreadnoughts, for example, has an arrangement of turrets which is quite new and which permits big caliber guns to be fired broadside and straight ahead with equal facility. Probably all of that class have the same equipment. No fewer than 9,000 men are employed night and day at the Devonport station, and there are always some 5,000 sailors and marines on guard there against attack from without or within—which latter refers to the very real peril of esplonage. Recently in the house of commons Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, stated that Great Britain could lose a super-Dreadnought every month for twelve months without her serpiority over the German navy being affected, even if during that period Germany suffered the loss of not a single ship. It is easy to understand the first lord's meaning when one realizes that within six months there will be six super-Dreadnoughts ready to go out of Plymouth and Portsmouth harbors into the battle line. Stories from war correspondents in northern France have already mentioned the fact that British naval guns have been used on land in siege operations against the Germans. Therefore there can be little harm in disclosing the fact that at present a very large number of men are engaged constantly at Devonport in turning twelve, thirteen and even fifteen inch battleship guns into siege howitzers. This operation is performed by detaching the gun from its turret, cutting down its muzzle and mounting it on an artillery carriage of special design and great strength. Owing to the royal navy's superbity of big naval weapons, the number of heavy howitzers now with the British expeditionary force is almost equal to that of the enemy's complement. The following is a description of the super-Dreadnought Warpiste: "Suddenly we—my officer friend and myself—stood alongside a dilapidated looking vessel, which I took to be an obsolete cruiser. My companion briefly introduced this object as his majesty's super-Dreadnought Warpiste, of the Queen Elizabeth class, none of which are in commission as yet. "Even my layman's eye could detect and appreciate the wonderful arrangement of her turrets, which, I am told, is absolutely new. She can fire all ten of her fifteen-point-fives from the bow as well as broadside on." Russian Girl. Honored. Petrograd.-A young Russian woman mentioned only as "Mile. B." has been awarded the St. George's cross for fighting in her father's artillery. She is in a Petrograd hospital, wounded. merase || | |G] Talates "7 Tue Reet Ap TAC” AN) Bary ee ") oN NY a ae fei Boe. \e q i aS By OS ANG, y aie eee ae THE APPEAL ANational Afro-American Newspaper 4.

STANDING TOGETHER FOR RIGHT. ‘The unanimity with which the Col ored press endorsed the action of Wit Mam Monroe Trotter in his protest against segregation was remarkable. Only two or three editors of small caltber, who evidently have some per- sonal grievance against Mr. Trotter, abused the man who has against tre- ‘mendous 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 South- ern Democratic newspapers which have rebuked the President for his ac. tion. ‘Two Kentucky newspapers were especially strong against governmental segregatlon. ‘The Louisville Courier-Journal: “The Courier-Journal agrees with the New York World that the segregation bust: ness 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 re- voked. It has no real cause or inter- est to back it. The issue should not have been raised. Let Mr. Wilson take matters further into his own hands, and restoro the status quo.” ‘Says the Lexington Herald: “We re: gret that the President has again per- mitted himself to display irritation to those who went to him as Chief Exe- cutive of the Nation, and refused .o answer questions put to him about the treatment of public employes, “or the second time he has per. mitted 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.

Leading Daily Newspaper of Lexington, Kentucky, Supporter of th Administration, Sternly Rebukes President Wilson for Losing His Temper When He Received the Trotter TNelecatian. (From the Lexington Herald, Lexington, Ky.) We regret the President has again permitted himself to display irrita tion 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 employes. ‘When the women who are striving to secure equal suffrage approache! | him he took refuge behind the prerogative that every private citizen but no public official has the right to exercise, a display of temper, and a declara, Yon that he must refuse to be catechized. 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 mat. ter that is embarrassing to him. A number of Negroes, representing various Negro organizations, appealed to him to forbid the segregation of Negroes in the departments at Washington. ‘The spokesman of the delegation reminded 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. ‘Tho President of the United States is presumed to be the servant of all the people; he Is not the master, but the servant. Under a monarchy 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 shem to adminis. ter the affairs of government, Every human being, whether a servant or a master, is entitled to cour- teous consideration and should be safe from personally offensive criticism. So the President and every other public servant should be subject only to that criticism which is just and proper, uttered in a courteous manner. But he, as every other servant, is the subject of proper eriticiem and has not the Fight to refuse to answer proper questions upon the ground of offended dig: nity. It is peculiarly unfortunate that he should give the exhibitions of offend- ed 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 policy of segregation should be adopted by the United States Government he should have no hesitation in so stating frankly and giving his reasons therefor. If he believes that the different races, of which the people of the United States are composed, should each be segregated, he has'a right so to olleve and so state. Has he a right as President, to act in accord with that velief? Doos the President of the United States believe that as a mater of gov- ernmental policy, citizens of African extraction should be treated differently from citizens of Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic, Slav or Latin extraction? Ts the President of the United States, the Chief Executive officer of the greatest re- public in the world, that has opened its doors as a refuge for the oppressed of all 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 ae distinguished from another race? Is the President willing to have himself quoted as authority and cited as an example by those of lower order and more brutal instincts, who, in states where thero 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 every individual as equal before the eyes of the law—black or white, red or yellow, Jew or Gentile, Protestant or vatholic—whatever the breed, whatever the reed matters not, at least should matter not to the public off clal charged with the duty of serving all the people. The humblest American citizen of full Negro blood is in the eyes of the law the full equal of the most powerful citizen of the purest Ange-Saxon descent. The public servant elected by the people, paid by the people, owes to the humblest citizen the same protection and the same treatment ac- corded to the most powerful. Neither breed nor creed, neither culture nor voaction should determine the treatment accorded to a eltizen by a servant. We are distressed that the President has allled himself with those who believe in the perpetuation of race prejudice and justify race passion. AS a private eltizen, every man has the right to determine his own course; as & public official, the higher the office the greatr the obligation to act with jus- Yice and treat with patience those who must look to the public officer for the protection of the law.

Leading Daily Newspapers of the Country Rebiike the President fo Gondoning the Jim Crow Policy of the Southern Members of His Cabinet, INO:SIM-OROW GOVERMORUIEE. __.Asu'ée cok) Wa kedoeeceose Lhe, (From the New York World.) No President ever suftered moro from the footish indiscretions of mem- bers of his Cabinet than has Mr, Wil son. He had a further illustration of it yesterday in his unfortunate inter view with a delegation of colored men who called at the White House to pro- test against the segregation of races ‘nm Government departments, ‘The President should have foreseen this unfortunate Issue when Mr. Me- Ado and Mr. Burleson were carrying their ‘colorline theories into demo- cratic government. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no Giserimination in the comforts and surroundings of the colored clerks, but explained that “he had been informed by officials that the segregation had been started to avold frietion between the races, and not with the object of injuring the colored men.” ‘The Preal- Gent fatled to explain, ‘nevertheless, why no such rule had been considered Recessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr, MeAdoo got into the Cabinet, For narly half a century white clerks and colored clerks have worked side by side in the departments of Washington, under republican and under democratic presidents. The World keeps itself fairly well informed about Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when sir. MeAdoo began his Jim-Crow pro: ceedings in the ‘Treasury Department. ‘The president thinks that this ts not a political question, but hes Wrong. Anything that is unjust, dis eriminating, and un-American in’ gov. ernment is’ certain to be a political question. Servants of the United States Government, regardless of race or color. For several years a colored man has been Collector of Internal 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 0 as Mr. McAdoo had to segregate the col ored employees of the ‘Treasury. in ‘Washington, While the Democrats of the coun. try have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few Southern members of the Cabinet have been allowed to exploit thelr petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact Jus tee. ‘Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promul gated as a deliberate discrimination against colored employees, 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 a reproach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents. THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA. ‘TION. (From the New York Evening Post.) It is a sad blot upon the Wilson ‘Administration that it has tolerated nay, drawn the color ame, without eal cause, save, ag Mr. Trotter truth: fully put it, the racial antipathtes of Mesers. Burleson, John. Skelton Wit ams and MeAdoo. For an Adminis. tration which talks about a New Free: dom and boasts of having bestowed anew liberty upon business men, not only to be blind to the wrongs of full ‘ten millions of American citizens, but to add to them is truly discouraging. Mr. Wilson can feel keenly” forthe governmental wrongs. of the “sub. merged 85 per cent” of the people of Mexico, of whom so many are Indians ‘and of @ mixed parentage, but he has yet to say a really sympathetic word ‘about the wrongs of the mallions in the South who are without voice In thelr own government. ‘The dimeulty lies, of course, in put: ting yourself in. the other fellows place, in having some appreciation of what’ it means to be the vietim of Prejudice and injustice, to be wronged without the power to remedy” the Wrong. ‘That Mr- Wilson is unable to Visualize this 1s, wo repeat, the more Aisappointing because there are 80 many Injured persons with whom he does sympathize so. understandingly. ‘His unusual vision and {magination leave him, however, when it comes to the disfranchisement of women and to permitting his subordinates to in filet indignities “upon American ett {zens in the immediate vicinity of tho White House. If he could only be one of the submerged 10 per cent of our people in Washington for forty-olght hours he could never have palliated the wrong done, as he is reported to have Yesterday, by saying that segregation ‘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 the races, but invariably leads. to added friction and creates deep and lasting unhappiness among the segre fated, This problem has vexed him and caused him heartache more than ‘once in his Administration, and it wil Rot cease to plague him uatil he lays down the law that sets up equallty of treatment of all employees in the Gov- erument service. Again, Mr. Wilson is roported to have resented Mr. ‘Trotter's statement that if this discrimination were not ended, the Afro-Americans. who voted for him would vote the Republican tleket, and to have declared that this was “political blackmall.” But. this fs the time-honored American way of showing disapproval of an_ elective official's conduct. When Mr. Wilson was a candidate for President in 1912, Be declared: "should I become Presi: dent of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for every- thing by which T could assist in ad. Yancing the interest of thelr race in the United States. On the. strength of thls many colored people and thelr ‘white frlends advocated Mr. Wilson's Cause, who would rather have cut off their hands than have aided Mr. Wil on if they had known that he was {intending to draw the color line in the departments upon the exouse that there 1s a certain point in the rela tons of the races where friction must occur. To them that is nelther abso- lute falr dealing nor advancing thelr cause, Dut putting it back, because tt sets the stamp of governmental ap- proval upon color prejudice, To ex- ect after this that the problem can be Kept out of politics, as Mr. Wilson {s quoted as urging, is to expect the impossible. With Mr Wilson's feelings 38 to the ultimate solution of the race prob- lem, we are not today concerned. He may OF may not have a constructive Broeramme to suggest, The lane i simply ‘s hatetul East Indian simply whether a hateful East Indian ton or not. We had supposed, after the investigations of last winter, that the viclous policy had been checked; we understood that it was to be aban: doned gradually. In’ numerous. in- stances the Jim-Crowing had, wo know, been stopped. The more discouraging ts it to find the President apparently upholding what the World justly calls the “foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet." ‘There was 0 gen- wine complaint as to. the conditions in Washington. - Colored and. white employees had’ worked side by’ side for ‘itty years. "Some of them had een appointed by Grover Cleveland— ‘one of his appointees to high place be- ing the father of Mr. Trotter, a veter- fan of the Pifty-fifth Massachusetts. But the Wilson Administration went out of its way to create the Issue it ‘now deplores, and cannot see its way clear to admitting its mistake and re- Yerting to the only defensible position fof absolute equality in the Govern: ‘ment service. ‘The way to deal with race proju- dice in such matters is not to enhance {t by yielding, but resolutely to con- front it with a refusal to give in. it 4 surprising how often prejudice fades away in a given situation when it finds feels wholly blocked.

Often there is no objection whatever to the presence ot colored people on the most familiar terms, provided their position is clear Jy stamped as menial; let them sud- donly 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 twinkling to the old “and absolutely fatisfactory” 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 de- Dartments without the slightest. dis crimination; that there can be only one class of public servants—all to be treated with courtesy, consideration, and abectute-dearion. THE PRESIDENT AND SEGREGA- TION. (From The Indianapolis News.) ‘The government, which makes laws for all, collects taxes trom all, and summons all alike to its defense in time of war, cannot righttuly make such distinctions. When men and ‘women enter the public service they ought to de ready to conform to that principle. No one 1s compelled to enter it, but having made his choice fhe should comply with the conditions fof bis employment. So. the question is not wholly economic, as Mr. Wilson seemed to think it 'was—it ‘ie political as well, not in the narrow partisan, but in the broad sense. The people of the United States as a whole would oppose the adoption by their government of any thing resembling the Jim Crow policy, THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. (Prom the Chicago Tribune.) We are not ready to concede that any body of citizenship has less stand- ing under the law than any other. If the. south wishes to make any such fesue as this it will find that the north, where there is prejudice, is nevertheless: restless when as a part of the nation it is asked to declare that the main principle of the nation is a Diece of hypocrisy and does not apply where it fs inconvenient.

Washington, the famous jubilee singers of Cleveland, Ohio, have been engaged as a special attraction for the "Cabaret Dance" at Bowly Hall on Christmas night. Come and hear something new put on in a new way. The improvement in business in St. Paul is general, and commercial and financial authorities predict still greater activity in 1915. The funeral of Mrs. Mary Fletcher-Ragland was held at Memorial Baptist church last Sunday afternoon and in some respects quite a remarkable occasion a full account of which will be given in the next issue. Mrs. Rena Brown, mother of Mrs. Wilson, passed away Friday morning of last week at Anoka, Minn. The remains were brought to the city and the funeral was held on last Monday afternoon at the residence of her daughter, 553 Charles street. By the end of this year, the deposits in the banks of St. Paul will reach a total of $28,000,000, an increase over last year's total of about $22,000,000. The total bank clearings here this year will reach the $600,000,000 mark, the highest point ever attained. Building operations in St. Paul this year have broken all records here. The total expenditures aggregate $13,000,000. Next year, this total will be exceeded, the estimate of construction work and improvements already planned being estimated at about $22,000,000. A suit entitled Ephriam H. McDonald vs. Pilgrim Baptist Church was brought last week in the District Court to recover $300.00 penalty for failure to give three months' notice before the termination of a contract of employment. Rev. McDonald was employed for four years as pastor of Pilgrim Baptist Church and was removed May 15 last. At a recent District W. C. T. U. meeting here, the evils of the drug habit were discussed and steps taken to join the state-wide campaign against the evil. A report of the proceedings at the Atlanta convention was read by Mrs. D. R. Mandigo, who told of some of the conditions resulting from prohibition and woman's suffrage in that state. She referred to the growing drug habit, and said that the convention decided it has become a greater problem than intemperance. ST. MARTIN EXPRESS AND FUEL COL.

The liquor problem must be handled, but it must be handled practically. The trouble with county option as it is now proposed is that it is neither fair nor practical. County option makes a good deal of noise in Minnesota, and seems to have a good many followers. Yet there is no evidence yet that the state is determined upon getting it. Four years ago a Democrat, Mr. Gray, ran for governor on a county option platform, and was beaten. This year Mr. Lee, a Republican, ran for governor on a county option platform, and he also was beaten. —Duluth Herald.

Mr. Sampson Smith, a detective sergt. from Chicago, was in the city this week with a requisition for Robert Campbell, who stole a number of diamond rings from Mrs. Myrtle Knofell, in the Windy City about Nov. 28th and who was apprehended in the Saintly City. The requisition was honored by Gov. Eberhart and the prisoner was turned over to Detective Sergt. Smith. Mr. Smith has been a jailer in the Chicago police force for 24 years, where he was a prisoner and there are very few people in Chicago who do not know "Bix Six" as he is familiarly called. During his stay to St. Paul of three days, he was the guest of his old-time chum Mr. Richard M. Johnson, 572 Kent street. On last Monday afternoon, Detective Smith was the guest of honor at a 5 o'clock stag dinner given by De-De-De-Black, at his residence, 525 Rondo street. The one more specimen of the culinary skill of the "Twins," Mesdames J. C. Black and Katie Crawford, and was of course an encyclopaed feast. Those who enjoyed the gastronomic occasion were: Sergt. Smith, R. M. Johnson, W. T. Francis, O. C. Hall, J. Q. Adams, and they did justice to the occasion which was quite enjoyable the detective Smith left on the fast mail at 7:20 with his prisoner and was highly delighted with his visit. Stillwater, Minn. Mr. George Lewis died suddenly Saturday evening, Dec. 12th, at his home in Stillwater. Death was caused from an affection of the heart. He was employed at the Mosier Cigar store for many years as salesman, being well known throughout the state. He was 47 years of age and married having cared for his mother and three sisters since early manhood, which is an exception. Mr. Lewis was a courteous and faithful employee, a dutiful son, was well and favorably known to nearly everybody in Stillwater. Surviving him are the mother, Mrs. Phoebe Lindsay and sisters, Mrs. J. W. Peyton of St. Paul; Miss Era Lindsay and Miss Carrie Lindsay, and Mr. E. W. Lindsay of St. Paul. The funeral was held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon at the home and was largely attended by the city. The services were conducted by Rev John McCoy of the First Presbyterian church, a particular friend of deceased. The pall bearers were: E. M. Mosier, Mervin Mosier, H. V.

SAINT PAUL,US.A; Re ae ene cate Providence, R. I. At last the dec sion of the board of directors of the ¥. M, C. A. has been handea 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: The Victory. The Providence Journal published the folowing report: That no distinction because of race or sect will be considered in receiving applications for membership in the Providence Young Men’s Christian As- sociation was the decision reached by the board of directors of that institu- tion at a meeting held last evening, This action was taken by the direc- tors because of objections from some persons to the admission of Colored men to membership in the organiza. tion and particularly in the many ad- vantages offered by the new building. As soon as it became known that objection had been offered the matter was taken up by different colored organizations and others interested and the directors were urged to take action. Following 1s a statement giv- en out by the directors after last eve- niog’s meeting: ‘The Note. “The Providence Young Men's Chris- ian 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 re- ceiving applications for membership because of race or sect. We believe that the only test of eligibility must 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 APPEAL. Sir: The interview of Wil- liam Munroe Trotter and the delega- tion 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- ly the colored people of this country feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them and still inflicts. ‘The National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People has been fighting segregation in federal depart- ments ever since the first rumor of it was made public. Over a year ago an investigator was sent to Washington aud a report printed. Since that time & representative of the national as: sociation has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one oc- casion this representative appeared be- fore the civil service committee and helped Kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia and Aswell of Louisiana mak- ing segregation legal throughout the federal civil service. Much of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abol ished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the intervention of this association three association will exemplify its high ideals, We therefore believe it is suf cient for this board to declare that no Teason exists for any change in the principles which have heretofore Boverned the association in its re ‘quirements for membership.” And we demand Mr. Hawkins resig- nation, It seems to us that if Mr. Hawkins could read between the lines he would send in his resignation and not wait until it was asked for. We hope that he will remember that he is in Providence and not in the South nor Southwest; now let the board of directors exact of Mr. Hawking an explanation of his actions which has caused them to be held up to the Hldicule of the world. ‘This was one of the times when the Colored people were united in an effort and they should be given much credit for their united stand. They are very jubilant over the victory, 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. Sing- sen, a white man, to the Providence Sunday Journal and see if you think that all our friends are dead.

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 ot this association there is no segrega- tion in the lunchrooms or on the root garden. Segregation, nevertheless, still exists in the Postoffice Depart: ment and in the Treasury, and pos: sibly here and there in a small de- gree 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 mecessary for the peace and quiet of these United States that clerks in the federal service, having passed the same examinations and receiving the same rate of pay, must be separated in their work if the ancestors of any of them had a drop of Negro blood. Tn 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 pro tested against the attempted separa. Mion, Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. B.
