UNCLE SAM FINDS JOBS FOR JOBLESS Bureau For Unemployed Opened by Government. POSTMASTERS ARE AGENTS Carrying Out President Wilson's idea, the Labor, Immigration and Agriculture Departments Lend Aid — Plan Tested and Found to be Practical and Satisfactory. Washington.—A national employment bureau reaching into every section of the United States has been put in operation by the department of labor, carrying out the suggestion of President Wilson in the Indamapolis speech for "a systematic method of helping the workingmen of America." Preliminary work for the bureau was completed by Commissioner Caminetti of the immigration bureau and instructions sent to the thousands of postmasters and rural mail carriers throughout the country and to nearly 200,000 field agents of the department of agriculture, who are co-operating with the labor department to bring the jobless man and the manless job together. All agents of the immigration bureau also participate in the huge task, Mr. Caminetti said. The general plan of the employment bureau was outlined by Mr. Caminetti as follows: Notices are posted in all post offices announcing that applications for work or workers will be received by the post- COMMISSIONER ANTHONY CAMINETT master, who will be supplied with forms to be filled out and forwarded to the labor department agent in charge of the zone in which the office is located. The distribution branch of the immigration service handles this part of the work, and to them also go the reports of the department of agriculture agents as to sections where help is needed in harvesting or other work. Applicants are then to be informed of the place where they can obtain work of the kind they seek and at the nearest point to them, the postal service acting as the distributing and collection agency for applications and replies throughout the transactions. In announcing the readiness of the system, Commissioner Caminetti said the plan was not a mushroom growth, but the product of months of labor over details. Already, he said, it had been tried out in a small way, and the results had been most satisfactory. After the fire at Salem, Mass., last June, when nearly 4,000 factory operatives were thrown out of employment, the labor department succeeded in finding work for many of them. 'DEAF AND DUMB.' CRIES 'OH!' Girl Asking Alms and Getting Them Steps on Electric Buzzer. Brazil, ind.—A deaf and dumb girl who represented herself to be from Danville, Ill., visited this city recently, soliciting charity. She carried a well worn document and several alleged sworn statements of officials of Danville that she was deaf and dumb and worthy of all charity which might be bestowed. She did well until she stepped on a doormat at the office of Dr. Robert Hawkins. The mat was equipped with an electric buzzer. The young lady was so startled by this buzzer that she jumped and shouted "Oh!" Before the police could arrest her she had taken an interurban car for towns that have no buzzers under the doormats. Peggoud Worth a Whole Corps. Paris. The French aviator Pegoud's value to the allies is estimated as equivalent to one army corps. He fights eight hours a day and destroys many German lives and much property. Although he has had several neoplanes destroyed, he has not been hurt. Whale Sunk by Shells. London.—A whale mistaken for a submarine was riddled with three inch shells by warships off the Dutch coast. The whale died. ```markdown ``` OCTOGENARIAN CUTS TEETH. Mr. Morris Believes That He Should Be Rocked and Sung To Greenwood. Del. - James Morris, eighty-year years old, has had trouble enough for the last twenty years with boils, rheumatism and dyspepsia without the last blight, which he declares, has put him in a twin bed with Job. Mr. Morris is cutting teeth, a process which usually occurs before the suffering human is capable of effectively expressing himself in the matter. For years Mr. Morris has had but two teeth, which, thanks to Providence, hit. He has been getting on fairly well, but for the aforementioned ailments and had no hope of ever doing any heavy chewing again. Then four teeth appeared on his lower jaw, and this week two more started through, accompanied by the most annoying aches and jumps. "I'm not kicking nor, as a matter of fact, biting," said Alf. Morris, "but it's bad enough to have teeth cut through without being so old that no one cares to rock you or sing you a trifling ditty that might produce sleep or total coma." GIRL KILLS DEER NEAR HOME Young New Hampshire Huntress a Good Shot. Concord, N. H.—To Miss Ruth Gillman, fifteen years old, of Penacook, N. H., probably belongs the honor of being the youngest woman in New England to kill a deer this season. Thus far no one has disputed the honor. The 150 pound doe the little girl shot this week within a mile of her own home was the first deer she had ever fired at and one of a very few she had ever seen, although she had rounded the fields and woods of central New Hampshire since she was able to toddle and is an expert with the rifle or shotgun. She has killed scores of small game, squirrels, rabbits and partridge, but it had never been her good fortune to get a shot at a real live deer until this season, and then her first shot brought down the game. HOW TO SPELL NAME OF THE BADGER STATE "Wiskonsan" Correct, as Shown by an Old Document. Fond du Lac, Wis.—W-i-s-k-o-n-s-a-n seems to have been the perfect proper way of spelling the name of this state in the old territorial days back in '44. Many pioneer residents of the state can remember when Wisconsin was spelled that way, but W. F. Sealey, county clerk, has discovered a document which provides better evidence than memory. It is a certificate of election issued to Paul D. Hayward as justice of the peace in the township of Stockbridge, dated June 2, 1844, and signed by Duane Doty, then territorial governor. Each of the three peoples who have successively occupied the state, Indians, French and Anglo Saxons, have left us in their names a record of their first impressions and sometimes even a trace of legendary history. The name of the state and of its greatest river, Wisconsin, is a corrupted form of an Indian term whose exact meaning is now unknown, though it has usually been translated "gathering of waters." Ouisconsin, Wisconsin, Ouisconchoning, Ouiskensing, Wiskensan are a few of the spellings which appear in old documents and on time stained maps before the present form was evolved. The name of the largest lake within the state, Winnebago, suggests an interesting history of the Indian tribes whence it came. The original Algonquin form was "oumipegou," meaning "men of the ill smelling water," a name which the tribe gained from having originally dwelt on the shores of Lake Winnebago, well known for its odorous sulphur springs. TYPHOID COSTS $3,000,000. Loss In Year to Kansas Estimated by Health Official. Topeka, Kan.-Typhoid fever in Kansas is costing the state $5,000 a day, according to Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health. There are three typhoid districts in Kansas now, more than at any time in several years. Twelve hundred students at the Agricultural college have been inoculated with the typhoid serum. “There were 356 deaths from typhoid in Kansas this year and about 4,500 cases,” said Dr. Crumbine. “The economic value of a life in Kansas is estimated at $5,000, and the average cost of medical attendance and funerals is $300. Figuring on this basis, typhoid cost Kansas more than $3,000,000, not counting the loss of time of the patients.” Called Emperor a Bascal Paris.—Before he was sentenced to life imprisonment by court martial for assisting 350 Belgians to join the army in France.

Berlin.—The German crown prince, instead of being dead or badly wounded, has had his portrait painted in oils at the front. ANIMALS AND BIRDS TO TALK. So Say Garner, Who Has Spent Years Studying Monkey Language Studying Monkey Language. Los Angeles, Cal.—"There will come a day," says R. L. Garner, who tured Maierlockin in the ways of animals, "when all animal and bird life will become articulate. A dream? Cannot the bee teach us a higher communism—the quick, effective elimination of the unfit and shirker? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to know why the orole, the oven bird or castle building ant are so much better engineers than we?" Garner says he thinks the gorilla and chimpanzee more civilized than man because they are more monogamous. He spent twenty-five years studying these animals in the Kongo and after a vacation will return there. It is from the gorillas and chimpanzees, he says, that "will come the first twin cables from which scientists will hang a bridge on which man and his lesser brothers of the world will meet in oracular converse." OLD HOTEL FOR HOMELESS St. Caroline's Court Once Was Social Favorite In Chicago Chicago.—St. Caroline's Court hotel, which forty years ago was the center of many of Chicago's social functions, will become a shelter for unemployed and homeless men. The famous hostelry is richly decorated in marble tiling and art work imported from France. Marble staircases, a rotunda with art glass windows, inlaid wood and art work in the ballroom still remain to recall the old time splendors of the structure. The use of the hotel has been granted to the Christian Industrial league, which plans to provide free lodging to as many men as safely can be accommodated. Mattresses and blankets will be provided for 800. Shower baths also will be installed. Coffee and rolls will be given the men every morning without charge. The hotel will be maintained by funds given by charities. TEXAS GOVERNOR NOT A POLITICIAN Farmer-Banker Ferguson Promises a New Regime. Austin, Tex.-James E. Ferguson of Temple, banker and farmer, inaugurated governor on Jan. 19, is the first man to go direct from active business life into the office of chief executive of Texas. All of his predecessors had previously held political office of some kind. Governor Ferguson issued a statement in which he said he hoped to see more miles of railroad built in Texas in 1915 than in any previous year; the number of silos increased at least tenfold; more permanent highways built; a new record in the matter of immigration to the state; more hogs and cattle raised than ever before and a greatly increased yield of corn and other grain. There was not a hint of politics anywhere in the message. Those intimately acquainted with the governor say his administration will be free from that species of politics which stirs up class antagonism; there will be no plitting of the farmers against the corporations. Having been a farmer all his life and a banker for many years, he wants these two interests to be friendly and co-operate. In his younger days he was a railroad laborer, and he helped to build many miles of track. During his campaign for governor he promised that he would not permit any liquor legislation, either pro or con, on that subject if he could prevent it. Since the election the higher courts have nullified the liquor laws in some essential particulars, and it is known that bills will be introduced dealing with the provisions thus voided, and the Prohibitionists claim a working majority in both houses. Lieutenant Governor W. P. Hobby of Beaumont, like Mr. Ferguson, never held public office and belongs to the conservative business element. He is owner and editor of the Beaumont Enterprise. SCIENTIST WHIPS POLECAT. Then University Gives Professor Two Weeks' Leave. Berkley, Cal., T. C. Hine, professor of the chemistry department of the University of California, fought a hard battle with a polecat in the library of the university recently. Victory perched on the crown of the savant after he had bombarded his antagonist with some of the choice volumes of the university library's modern literature and followed up his strategic move by tossing a hat box over the invader. A quantity of chloroform poured through a tiny hole in the box stopped the polecat's activities. The professor has been given a two weeks' leave of absence. Objected to English Language Brussels.-German officers dining in a restaurant showed displeasure when two men near them conversed in English, and finally one officer announced the strangers would oblige if they wouldn't talk in English, as it annoyed him. One of the English speaking men handed the German his card. It bore the name of Brand Whitlock, minister of the United States in Belgium. The German saluted and apologized. Defective Page Both Sides Face Difficult Problems In Getting Water Out of the Trenches. Germans Collecting All the Brass They Can Find to Get the Copper Out of It For Fuses. London.—An account by the "eyewitness" of the British headquarters staff at the front meadows the continued and exceptionally heavy rainfall in the fighting zone. Aviators, the account says, report that the Scheldt as well as the Lys has overflowed and is flooding large districts. The condition of the trenches is shown in the following extract from the statement: "The Germans in some places have attempted to pump the water from their trenches into ours, but owing to Photo by American Press Association. GERMAN SOLDIER' WRITING DIARY ON BATTLEFIELD. the fat ground they have been singularly unsuccessful. The problem of how to get rid of the water is engaging both sides. The muddy water is difficult to pump out, but this difficulty is being overcome, although continual balling and pumping are required." The account relates some minor fights and then makes the following references to the situation of the enemy: "The Germans are reported to be collecting all the brass they can find, no doubt for the purpose of extracting the copper for fuses. The towns and villages behind the front are systematically ransacked and everything that contains copper, from church bells to household utensils of all kinds, has been seized." The following reference is made to artillery: "The experiences of this war have caused many profound modifications of theories previously held, but no factor, perhaps, was so underestimated as the effect of high explosive projectiles fired from guns and howitzers. At the opening of the war the allies were inferior to the enemy in this respect. This inferiority has since been good, and the Germans are now experiencing a far greater extent than before the devastating effect of these missiles. "The successes of the Japanese at Port Arthur gave an inkling of the potentialities of the heavy howitzer against permanent fortifications, but the decisive effect of high explosives against troops in the field as well as against field intrenchments has come as a complete surprise. "Artillery has assumed an importance greater probably than it ever before possessed and certainly greater than it has known since the time of Napoleon. For the last hundred years, as used against troops, field artillery generally has been depended upon to create a moral effect rather than great material result. It has been reserved for this war to prove it to be the chief agent in destroying the enemy's power of resistance. "It is extremely hard to conceal the position of trenches from an aerial observer, and once their position is notified to the grus and the range is obtained it is not long before the whole length of trenches will be blown in. Entanglements, trous de loop and every form of obstacle, however ingenious, are swept away. "That the moral effect is very great is shown by the written and verbal evidence of prisoners. "The allies' artillery is gradually assuming superiority over the German, a factor of great importance in the prosecution of our general offensive." Boston.-- Because many bean crops have been sold to the nations at war, Boston is facing a bean famine. The price is now 12 cents a pound instead of KNOT TIED IN EYE MUSCLE. New Operation Marks Distinct Advance In Optic Surgery Philadelphia. A remarkable operation, representing the latest step in eye surgery and consisting of a method of tying knots in one of the muscles of the eye to shorten it and restore muscular balance, thereby curing squint eyes, was described here recently. The operation has been named the "O'Connor method." after the originator, a western physician. The usual surgical operation for squint eyes is to shorten one of the eye muscles by taking out a section, but it has the disadvantage that frequently the sutures used to refasten the muscle will tear loose because of the strain. In the new method the strain is taken up by the muscle itself and there is no tearing of the sutures. One of the hospital physicians sad: "In the few cases in which the new operation has been applied the suture seems to be soon absorbed, the knots of muscle gradually flatten out, without, however, making the muscle longer, and the shortened muscle perfectly does its work on moving the eyeball and exerting the pulling action, which brings the eye in alignment with the other one. The operation can be used in both types of squint, convergent as well as divergent, by shortening the proper muscle. The new operation is considered most interesting and is a distinct advance in the surgery of the eye." SECOND STRAWBERRY CROP. Fruit Picked In November on Baltimore County Farm. Baltimore. - Picking strawberries from a patch in the open air on a Baltimore county farm was the privilege this month of Miss Henrietta and Isabel L. Gibson of this city. They were members of a week end house party at the home of T. Vickery Wedge, who owns the Mount Glead farm, near Woodensburg. In the morning they were invited to visit the strawberry patch, and Miss Sewell says they found enough of the ripe, luscious fruit to give each a bountiful plate. The berries were the second growth in the patch, which had borne quite prolifically during the berry season. The patch was well protected from the cold north winds, as Mount Glead is a rolling tract of land affording good protection for the growth of fruits of all kinds late in the year. HUNTS FOR HIMSELF OVER THREE STATES Newspaper Man Loses Memory and Forgets His Past. Lyons, Kan. - Walking out of his office in the middle of a busy day, leaving his family, friends and fortune and wandering through three states in search of some one who would identify him and tell him who he was, is the strange story of Frank L. Finch, a newspaper man of Littleton, Colo., who under the name of F. S. O'Dell was employed last winter as expert linotype operator in the office of the Lyons Republican. About two weeks after his disappearance in response to a query for a linotype operator addressed to a Great Bend paper, F. S. O'Dell arrived in Lyons and went to work. He seemed satisfied with his job, and the Republican force had no thought Saturday night that he would "hit the road" before Monday morning. Since January O'Dell seems to have wandered through Kansas and Nebraska "hunting for himself." Wherever there were crowds O'Dell went. He visited newspaper offices hoping some itinerant printer would recognize him. A short time ago he was working in a newspaper office in Clear Lake, la. While there his attention was attracted by an item signed "C. O. F." Julesburg, Colo., asking "F. L. F." to communicate with him. O'Dell wrote. Clarence O. Finch recognized the handwriting as that of his brother and telegraphed him at once. O'Dell answered that there had been a mistake - that he was not the man wanted. While changing cars at Omaha he again forgot what he was doing and appealed to the police for assistance. The letter from his brother was found in his pocket, and he was notified. C. O Finch came to Omaha on the first train and immediately recognized the man as his brother. Frank L. Finch. KILLS COYOTE IN HOUSE. Animal Invades Home and Explores Several Rooms. Cottage Grove, Ore. - Coyotes have been committing many depredations in Crook county, according to a letter from Mrs. Fannie Morss of Post. One night the family of J. R. Knox was awakened by an unusual noise upstairs. Mrs. Knox went into the yard and could see a coyote tearing and biting at the window of the upstairs room in an effort to get out. Mr Knox shot the animal. An investigation showed that it had got into the house through a bedroom window downstairs, the tracks being plain on the bed that it had climbed over. The animal went through several rooms before going upstairs. Mrs. Morss says that there have been many reports of raid coyotes in that section, and that few go out after night without being well armed. INNOCENT MAN HANGED. So Says Letter on Painter Case to Chief of Chicago Police. Chicago.—That an innocent man was executed here in 1894, when George H. Palmer was hanged for the murder of Alice Martin, is the statement made in a letter received by Chief of Police Gleason from a person signing himself "R. W. Baxter" of Buffalo, Sangamon county, Ill. The writer asked that Painter's relatives be found and promised to remove the stigma from the family. Painter's last words on the scaffold were a declaration that he was not guilty. Alice Martin, Painter's sweetheart, was beaten to death in 1891, and Painter was arrested nine months later. After two years of fighting the prisoner was convicted and executed. On the scaffold he said: "If I killed Alice Martin, the girl I dearly loved, the woman I loved so much that I would almost commit any crime for her, I pray this minute, my last minute on earth, that the eternal God will put me into eternal hell." The condemned man raised his voice and continued: "Look here, gentlemen, if there is one man among you who is an American I say to him on his soul—on his soul, I say—see that the murderer of Alice Martin is found." The scaffold phyter was delivered by the Rev. A. P. Moerdyke, who said: "May he whom so many believe innocent of this crime join the in everlasting life for the sake, O Lord, of thy son Jesus Christ, our Lord." Glenson said he would take no steps in the matter except to look for Painter's relatives to make known to them Baxter's request. TOWN TURNS OUT TO PAN GOLD IN STREETS Great Excitement Until Metal Proves to Be Iron Pyrites. Sumner, Wash.—Excitement prevailed in Summer following the news of a "gold" strike made on Main street by Frank Kelly, an ex-Alaskan miner of nine years' experience. For several hours forty men and boys panned the mud in the gutter and proudly exhibited the "dust." Kelly staked out a twenty acre mining claim, including the heart of the city, and two hours later the claim was jumped by Jesse Childs. The local druggist, Bill Naysmith, who made a hasty nitric acid test of the glittering metal, pronounced it pure gold. Kelly was sweeping the sidewalk in front of the Kelly & Darr grocery on Main street when he saw bright specks the size of pin heads in the mud in the gutter. He hastily got a pie tin and panned some of the mud containing half a spoonful of the dust. Taking it to Naysmith, he was assured after an acid examination it was real gold. Kelly then obtained a government mining claim blank and filled it out. The claim was named the D. & K. claim. The location was the regular twenty acres allowed by the government. The filed claim sheet was nailed to a two foot board that was placed upright between two bricks at the edge of the street. By this time, however, the report of the strike hnd gone out, and as Kelly went to mark the four corners of his claim others began to appear wilt' pans of all descriptions. Brooms, shovels and all kinds of implements for collecting a pile of the valuable dirt were pressed into service. Tom Frye and several others ran to the fire house and brought out the fire hose. When this was turned on to stuice the street a number of the slower miners got a bath. Frye obtained a battleful of the "gold" mixed with the black sand and boasted that it contained at least $500 worth. By 2 o'clock the street had been swept as clean as a billiard table, the first time it has been washed clean since it was laid, it was said. The metal was pronounced to be pyrites of iron, or "oool's gold," by Streeter Reall of Puyallup after micro sciep and heated nitric acid tests. I was admitted by all, however, that I booked to be real gold, and being found in black sand was an added indication in its favor. The sand that fell on the streets was from gravel and sand was noushing it from a gravel bank near the Stuck river. Mayor Wants Municipal Church. San Bernardino, Cal.-Mayor J. W Catick issued a statement advocating the abolishment of all churches in the city and the building in their stead, by a bond issue, of a tabernacle seating more than 2,500 and the appointment of a municipal minister, who would administer the spiritual needs of San Bernardino. He also proposed the appointment of a municipal minister, who must perform all marriages and officiate at all funerals free; the prohibition by law of the soliciting of funds from congregations; the entire city to be members of the church, which would be maintained by municipal taxation. "Let us have only one good route to heaven and a municipal minister to point the way," concluded the mayor. Joffre Doesn't Read Papers. Paris.-General Joffre, the French commander, has not read a newspaper since the war began, it is said, and the only thing in the way of letters he has written were brief notes to his wife and sister. $2.40 PER YEAR. FOCH HONORED BY KING GEORGE Comparatively Unknown General Given Grand Cross of Bath. HERO OF TWO BIG BATTLES Strict Censorship Keeps Many Brave Men In the Background—Joffre Plans the Attacks, While Foch Executes Them—How He Accepted High Office From President. Bordeaux.—When King George visited the front he gave the same order to General Foch the grand cross of the Bath) as to the commander in chief of the allies, General Joffre. This is the highest distinction the king of England can confer on a general for purely military services. Owing to the completeness of the French censorship, which prevents any general from being singled out for publicity and the small attention paid to the work of the French generals in the English press, people were mystified in England when General Foch, a person unknown to them, was singled out for this compliment by their king. But the fact is that General Foch was the hero of the battles of the Marne and Yser and is likely to go down in history as the greatest figure of the war on the French side, next to General Joffre. Joffre plans, Foch executes; Joffre is the headpiece, Foch the right hand of the French army. Each likes and respects the other. GENERAL FOCH. Foch's confidence in his chief's tactical genius is unbounded. Joffre knows that when it comes to an offensive movement he has an instrument in Foch on which he can place entire reliance. In private life the two men are more than comrades in arms. They are close friends and never more happy than when they can sit down over a pipe and discuss military reminiscences, for both are veterans in the strictest sense of the word. Their ages differ but by a few months; their birthplaces are but a few miles apart. Ferdinand Foch was born at Turbes, in the southern department of Gers, on Oct. 2, 1851. His father, Napoleon Foch, was secretary of the prefecture at Turbes, where his three sons, of whom General Foch was the eldest, attended the local college. Each boy chose his profession—one law, another the church and young Ferdinand the army. Ferdinand soon made his mark and at the age of twenty-six was nominated artillery captain. Rapidly he rose to the post of professor of tactics, with the title of commandant, at the Ecole de Guerre, or Military school, where he remained five years. His lectures and military works have been translated into many languages. Having been created brigadier general in 1908, Foch now succeeded to the directorship of the Ecole de Guerre, one of the most confidential positions in the war department. He left this post to take command of the Thirteenth division and afterward of the Eighth corps at Bourges and finally the Twentieth corps at Nancy. The war did not take Foch by surprise. He was among those who felt it was inevitable in the near future and had even been looked upon by a section of politicians as an alarmist, much as Lord Roberts was in England by the corresponding political party there, Joffre, who has the leader's instinct in choosing his men, immediately selected Foch for the responsible position of commander of the Fifth army at La Fere-Champenolise. How he acquitted himself here is a matter of history. Early in October Foch succeeded to the command of the three armies of the north. He is now Joffre's right hand man and is looked upon as the "vice generalissimo" of the French army. Interior of Houses Damaged.

GIRL KILLS DEER NEAR HOME Young New Hampshire Huntress a Good Shot. Concord, N. H.-To Miss Ruth Gillman, fifteen years old, of Penacook, N. H., probably belongs the honor of being the youngest woman in New England to kill a deer this season. Thus far no one has disputed the honor. The 150 pound doe the little girl shot this week within a mile of her own home was the first deer she had ever fired at and one of a very few she had ever seen, although she had rounded the fields and woods of central New Hampshire since she was able to toddle and is an expert with the rifle or shotgun. She has killed scores of small game, squirrels, rabbits and partridge, but it had never been her good fortune to get a shot at a real live deer until this season, and then her first shot brought down the game. HOW TO SPELL NAME OF THE BADGER STATE "Wiskonsan" Correct, as Shown by an Old Document. Fond du Lac, Wis.—W-i-s-k-o-n-s-a-n seems to have been the perfectly proper way of spelling the name of this state in the old territorial days back in '44. Many pioneer residents of the state can remember when Wisconsin was spelled that way, but W. F. Sealy, county clerk, has discovered a document which provides better evidence than memory. It is a certificate of election issued to Paul D. Hayward as justice of the peace in the township of Stockbridge, dated June 2, 1844, and signed by Duane Doty, then territorial governor. Each of the three peoples who have successively occupied the state, Indians, French and Anglo Saxons, have left us in their names a record of their first impressions and sometimes even a trace of legendary history. The name of the state and of its greatest river, Wisconsin, is a corrupted form of an Indian term whose exact meaning is now unknown, though it has usually been translated "gathering of waters." Outsconsin, Wisconsin, Ouisconching, Ouiskensing, Wiskansan are a few of the spellings which appear in old documents and on time stained maps before the present form was evolved. The name of the largest lake within the state, Winnebago, suggests an interesting history of the Indian tribes whence it came. The original Algonquin form was "ouinpegu," meaning "men of the ill smelling water," a name which the tribe gained from having originally dwelt on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, well known for its odorous sulphur springs. TYPHOID COSTS $3,000,000. Loss in Year to Kansas Estimated by Health Official. Topeka, Kan.-Typhoid fever in Kansas is costing the state $5,000 a day, according to Dr. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the state board of health. There are three typhoid districts in Kansas now, more than at any time in several years. Twelve hundred students at the Agricultural college have been inoculated with the typhoid serum. “There were 356 deaths from typhoid in Kansas this year and about 4,500 cases,” said Dr. Crumbine. “The economic value of a life in Kansas is estimated at $5,000, and the average cost of medical attendance and funerals is $300. Figuring on this basis, typhoid cost Kansas more than $3,000,000, not counting the loss of time of the patients.” Paris.—Before he was sentenced to life imprisonment by court martial for assisting 350 Belgians to join the army in France, General Fife. a retired Belgian general, told the court Emperor William was a rascal and asked for a death sentence. Prince Has Portrait Painted. Berlin.—The German crown prince, instead of being dead or badly wounded, has had his portrait painted in oils at the front. ANIMALS AND BIRDS TO TALK. So Say Garner, Who Has Spent Years Studying Monkey Language Los Angeles, Cal.-"There will come a day," says R. L. Garner, who tutored Masterlink in the ways of animals, "when all animal and bird life will become articulate. A dream? Cannot the bee teach us a higher communism—the quick, effective elimination of the unfit and shinker? Cannot the birds tell us their secret of flying? Would we not like to know why the oriole, the oven bird or castle building ant are so much better engineers than we?" Garner says he thinks the gorilla and chimpanzee more civilized than man because they are more monogamous. He spent twenty-five years studying these animals in the Kongo and after a vacation will return there. It is from the gorillas and chimpanzees, he says, that "will come the first twin cables from which scientists will hang a bridge on which man and his lesser brothers of the world will meet in oracular converse." OLD HOTEL FOR HOMELESS St. Caroline's Court Once Was Social Favorite In Chicago. Chicago.—St. Caroline's Court hotel, which forty years ago was the center of many of Chicago's social functions, will become a shelter for unemployed and homeless men. The famous hostelry is richly decorated in marble tiling and art work imported from France. Marble staircases, a rotunda with art glass windows, inlaid wood and art work in the ballroom still remain to recall the old time splendors of the structure. The use of the hotel has been granted to the Christian Industrial league, which plans to provide free lodging to as many men as safely can be accommodated. Mattresses and blankets will be provided for 800. Shower baths also will be installed. Coffee and rolls will be given the men every morning without charge. The hotel will be maintained by funds given by charities. Austin, Tex.—James E. Ferguson of Temple, banker and farmer, inaugurated governor on Jan. 19, is the first man to go direct from active business life into the office of chief executive of Texas. All of his predecessors had previously held political office of some kind. Governor Ferguson issued a statement in which he said he hoped to see more miles of railroad built in Texas in 1915 than in any previous year; the number of silos increased at least tenfold; more permanent highways built; a new record in the matter of immigration to the state; more hogs and cattle raised than ever before and a greatly increased yield of corn and other grain. There was not a hint of politics anywhere in the message. Those intimately acquainted with the governor say his administration will be free from that species of politics which stirs up class antagonism; there will be no pitting of the farmers against the corporations. Having been a farmer all his life and a banker for many years, he wants these two interests to be friendly and co-operate. In his younger days he was a railroad laborer, and he helped to build many miles of track. During his campaign for governor he promised that he would not permit any liquor legislation, either pro or con, on that subject if he could prevent it. Since the election the higher courts have nullified the liquor laws in some essential particulars, and it is known that bills will be introduced dealing with the provisions thus voided, and the Prohibitionists claim a working majority in both houses. Lieutenant Governor W. P. Hobby of Beaumont, like Mr. Ferguson, never held public office and belongs to the conservative business element. He is owner and editor of the Beaumont Enterprise. SCIENTIST WHIPS POLECAT. Then University Gives Professor Two Weeks' Leave. Berkley, Cal., T. C. Hine, professor of the chemistry department of the University of California, fought a hard battle with a polecut in the library of the university recently. Victory perched on the crown of the savant after he had bombarded his antagonist with some of the choice volumes of the university library's modern literature and followed up his strategic move by tossing a hat box over the invader. A quantity of chloroform poured through a tiny hole in the box stopped the polecut's activities. The professor has been given a two weeks' leave of absence. Brussels.-German officers dined in a restaurant showed displeasure when two men near them conversed in English, and finally one officer announced the strangers would oblige if they wouldn't talk in English, as it annoyed him. One of the English speaking men handed the German his card. I bore the name of Brand Whitlock, minister of the United States in Belgium. The German saluted and apologized. Both Sides Face Difficult Problems in Getting Water Out of the Trenches. Germans Collecting All the Brass They Can Find to Get the Copper Out of It For Fuses. London-An account by the "eyewitness" of the British headquarters staff at the front meadows the continued and exceptionally heavy rainfall in the fighting zone. Aviators, the account says, report that the Scheldt as well as the Lys has overflowed and is flooding large districts. The condition of the trenches is shown in the following extract from the statement: "The Germans in some places have attempted to pump the water from their trenches into ours, but owing to THE WEEKLY PRESS Photo by American Press Association. GERMAN SOLDIER' WRITING DIARY ON BATTLEFIELD. the flat ground they have been singularly unsuccessful. The problem of how to get rid of the water is engaging both sides. The muddy water is difficult to pump out, but this difficulty is being overcome, although continual bailing and pumping are required." The account relates some minor fights and then makes the following references to the situation of the enemy: "The Germans are reported to be collecting all the brass they can find, no doubt for the purpose of extracting the copper for fuses. The towns and villages behind the front are systematically ransacked and everything that contains copper, from church bells to household utensils of all kinds, has been seized." The following reference is made to artillery: "The experiences of this war have caused many profound modifications of theories previously held, but no factor, perhaps, was so underestimated as the effect of high explosive projectiles fired from guns and howitzers. At the opening of the war the allies were inferior to the enemy in this respect. This inferiority has since been made good, and the Germans are now experiencing to a far greater extent than before the devastating effect of these missiles. "The successes of the Japanese at Port Arthur gave an inkling of the potentialities of the heavy howitzer against permanent fortifications, but the decisive effect of high explosives against troops in the field as well as against field intrenchments has come as a complete surprise. "Artillery has assumed an importance greater probably than it ever before possessed and certainly greater than it has known since the time of Napoleon. For the last hundred years, as used against troops, field artillery generally has been depended upon to create a moral effect rather than great material result. It has been reserved for this war to prove it to be the chief agent in destroying the enemy's power of resistance. "It is extremely hard to conceal the position of trenches from an aerial observer, and once their position is notified to the guns and the range is obtained it is not long before the whole length of trenches will be blown in. Entanglements, trous de loup and every form of obstacle, however ingenious, are swept away. "That the moral effect is very great is shown by the written and verbal evidence of prisoners. "The allies' artillery is gradually assuming superiority over the German, a factor of great importance in the prosecution of our general offensive." Bean Famine In Boston. Boston. - Because many bean crops have been sold to the nations at war. Boston is facing a bean famine. The rice is now 12 cents a pound instead of 8. Defective Page KNOT TIED IN EYE MUSCLE. New Operation Marks Distinct Advance In Optic Surveys. Philadelphia. A remarkable operation, representing the intact step in eye surgery and consisting of a method of tying knots in one of the muscles of the eye to shorten it and restore muscular balance, thereby curing squint eyes, was described here recently. The operation has been named the "O'Connor method," after the originator, a western physician. The usual surgical operation for squint eyes is to shorten one of the eye muscles by taking out a section, but it has the disadvantage that frequently the sutures used to refasten the muscle will tear loose because of the strain. In the new method the strain is taken up by the muscle itself and there is no tearing of the sutures. One of the hospital physicians sad: "In the few cases in which the new operation has been applied the suture seems to be soon absorbed, the knots of muscle gradually flatten out, without, however, making the muscle longer, and the shortened muscle perfectly does its work on moving the eyeball and exerting the pulling action, which brings the eye in alignment with the other one. The operation can be used in both types of squint, convergent as well as divergent, by shortening the proper muscle. The new operation is considered most interesting and is a distinct advance in the surgery of the eye." SECOND STRAWBERRY CROP Fruit Picked In November on Baltimore County Farm. Baltimore. - Picking strawberries from a patch in the open air on a Baltimore county farm was the privilege this month of Miss Henrietta Sewell and Isabel I. Gibson of this city. They were members of a week end house party at the home of T. Vickery Wedge, who owns the Mount Glead farm, near Woodensburg. In the morning they were invited to visit the strawberry patch, and Miss Sewell says they found enough of the ripe, luscious fruit to give each a bountiful plate. The berries were the second growth in the patch, which had borne quite prolifically during the berry season. The patch was well protected from the cold north winds, as Mount Glead is a rolling tract of land affording good protection for the growth of fruits of all kinds late in the year. Newspaper Man Loses Memory and Forgets His Past. Lyons, Kan.—Walking out of his office in the middle of a busy day, leaving his family, friends and fortune and wandering through three states in search of some one who would identify him and tell him who he was, is the strange story of Frank L. Finch, a newspaper man of Littleton, Colo., who under the name of F. S. O'Dell was employed last winter as expert linotype operator in the office of the Lyons Republican. About two weeks after his disappearance in response to a query for a linotype operator addressed to a Great Bend paper, F. S. O'Dell arrived in Lyons and went to work. He seemed satisfied with his job, and the Republican force had no thought Saturday night that he would "hit the road" before Monday morning. Since January O'Dell seems to have wandered through Kansas and Nebraska "hunting for himself." Wherever there were crowds O'Dell went. He visited newspaper offices hoping some itinerant printer would recognize him. A short time ago he was working in a newspaper office in Clear Lake, Ia. While there his attention was attracted by an item signed "C. O. F." Julesburg, Colo., asking "F. L. F." to communicate with him, O'Dell wrote. Clarence O. Finch recognized the handwriting as that of his brother and telegraphed him at once. O'Dell answered that there had been a mistake — that he was not the man wanted. While changing cars at Omaha he again forgot what he was doing and appealed to the police for assistance. The letter from his brother was found in his pocket, and he was notified. C. O. Finch came to Omaha on the first train and immediately recognized the man as his brother, Frank L. Finch. KILLS COYOTE IN HOUSE. Animal Invades Home and Explores Several Rooms. Cottage Grove, Ore - Coyotes have been committing many depredations in Crook county, according to a letter from Mrs. Fannie Morse of Post. One night the family of J. R. Knox was awakened by an unusual noise upstairs. Mrs. Knox went into the yard and could see a coyote tearing and biting at the window of the upstairs room in an effort to get out. Mr. Knox shot the animal. An investigation showed that it had got into the house through a bedroom window downstairs, the tracks being plain on the bed that it had climbed over. The animal went through several rooms before going upstairs. Mrs. Morse says that there have been many reports of raid coyotes in that section, and that few go out after night without being well armed. --- INNOCENT MAN HANGED. So Says Letter on Painter Case to Chief of Chicago Police. Chicago.—That an innocent man was executed here in 1894, when George H. Palmer was hanged for the murder of Alice Martin, is the statement made in a letter received by Chief of Police Gleason from a person signing himself "R. W. Baxter" of Buffalo, Sangamon county, Ill. The writer asked that Painter's relatives be found and promised to remove the stigma from the family. Painter's last words on the scaffold were a declaration that he was not guilty. Alice Martin, Painter's sweetheart, was beaten to death in 1891, and Painter was arrested nine months later. After two years of fighting the prisoner was convicted and executed. On the scaffold he said: "If I killed Alice Martin, the girl I dearly loved, the woman I loved so much that I would almost commit any crime for her, I pray this minute, my last minute on earth, that the eternal God will put me into eternal hell." The conferred man raised his prize. The condemned man raised his voice and continued: "Look here, gentlemen, if there is one man among you who is an American I say to him on his soul-on his soul, I say—see that the murderer of Alice Martin is found." The scaffold prayer was delivered by the Rev. A. P. Moerdyke, who said: "May he whom so many believe innocent of this crime join the in everlasting life for the sake, O Lord, of thy son Jesus Christ, our Lord." Gleason he would take no steps in the matter except to look for Painter's relatives to make known to them Baxter's request. TOWN TURNS OUT TO PAN GOLD IN STREETS Great Excitement Until Metal Proves to Be Iron Pyrites. Sumner, Wash.—Excitement prevailed in Summer following the news of a "gold" strike made on Main street by Frank Kelly, an ex-Alaskan miner of nine years' experience. For several hours forty men and boys panned the mud in the gutter and proudly exhibited the "dust." Kelly staked out a twenty acre mining claim, including the heart of the city, and two hours later the claim was jumped by Jesse Childs. The local druggist, Bill Naysmith, who made a hasty nitric acid test of the glittering metal, pronounced it pure gold. Kelly was sweeping the sidewalk in front of the Kelly & Darr grocery on Main street when he saw bright specks the size of pin heads in the mud in the gutter. He hastily got a pile tin and panned some of the mud containing half a spoonful of the dust. Taking it to Naysmith, he was assured after an acid examination it was real gold. Kelly then obtained a government mining claim blank and filled it out. The claim was named the D. & K. claim. The location was the regular twenty acres allowed by the government. The filed claim sheet was nailed to a two foot board that was placed upright between two bricks at the edge of the street. By this time, however, the report of the strike had gone out, and as Kelly went to mark the four corners of his claim others began to appear with pans of all descriptions. Brooms, shovels and all kinds of implements for collecting a pile of the valuable dirt were pressed into service. Tom Frye and several others ran to the fire house and brought out the fire hose. When this was turned on to stuice the street a number of the slower miners got a bath. Frye obtained a bottleful of the "gold" mixed with the black sand and boasted that it contained at least $200 worth. By 2 o'clock the street had been swept as clean as a billiard table, the first time it has been washed clean since it was laid, it was said. The metal was pronounced to be pyrites of iron, or "tool's gold," by Streeter Reall of Puyallup after micro scople and heated nitric acid tests. I was admitted by all, however, that I looked to be real gold, and being found in black sand was an added indication in its favor. The sand that fell on the streets was from gravel and sand wagons hauling it from a gravel bank near the Stuck river. Mayor Wants Municipal Church. San Bernardino, Cal.-Mayor J. W Catick issued a statement advocating the abolishment of all churches in the city and the building in their stead, by a bond issue, of a tabernacle seating more than 2,500 and the appointment of a municipal minister, who would administer the spiritual needs of San Bernardino. He also proposed the appointment of a municipal minister, who must perform all marriages and officiate at all funerals free; the prohibition by law of the soliciting of funds from congregations; the entire city to be members of the church, which would be maintained by municipal taxation. "Let us have only one good route to heaven and a municipal minister to point the way," concluded the mayor. Paris.-General Joffre, the French commander, has not read a newspaper since the war began. it is said, and the only thing in the way of letters he has written were brief notes to his wife and sister. $2.40 PER YEAR. FOCH HONORED BY KING GEORGE Comparatively Unknown General Given Grand Cross of Bath. HERO OF TWO BIG BATTLES Strict Censorship Keeps Many Brave Men In the Background—Joffre Plans the Attacks, While Foch Executes Them—How He Accepted High Office From President. Bordaux.—When King George visited the front bave gave the same order to General Foch (the grand cross of the Bath) as to the commander in chief of the allies, General Joffre. This is the highest distinction the king of England can confer on a general for purely military services. Owing to the completeness of the French censorship, which prevents any general from being singled out for publicity and the small attention paid to the work of the French generals in the English press, people were mystified in England when General Foch, a person unknown to them, was singled out for this compliment by their king. But the fact is that General Foch was the hero of the battles of the Marne and Yser and is likely to go down in history as the greatest figure of the war on the French side, next to General Joffre. Joffre plans, Foch executes; Joffre is the headpiece, Foch the right hand of the French army. Each likes and respects the other M. BERTHAIS GENERAL FOCH. Foch's confidence in his chief's tactical genius is unbounded. Joffre knows that when it comes to an offensive movement he has an instrument in Foch on which he can place entire reliance. In private life the two men are more than comrades in arms. They are close friends and never more happy than when they can sit down over a pipe and discuss military reminiscences, for both are veterans in the strictest sense of the word. Their ages differ but by a few months; their birthplaces are but a few miles apart. Ferdinand Foch was born at Tarbes, in the southern department of Gers, on Oct. 2, 1851. His father, Napoleon Foch, was secretary of the prefecture at Tarbes, where his three sons, of whom General Foch was the oldest, attended the local college. Each boy chose his profession—one law, another the church and young Ferdinand the army. Ferdinand soon made his mark and at the age of twenty-six was nominated artillery captain. Rapidly he rose to the post of professor of tactics, with the title of commandant, at the Ecole de Guerre, or Military school, where he remained five years. His lectures and military works have been translated into many languages. Having been created brigadier general in 1908, Foch now succeeded to the directorship of the Ecole de Guerre, one of the most confidential positions in the war department. He left this post to take command of the Thirteenth division and afterward of the Eighth corps at Bourges and finally the Twentieth corps at Nancy. The war did not take Foch by surprise. He was among those who felt it was inevitable in the near future and had even been looked upon by a section of politicians as an alarmist, much as Lord Roberts was in England by the corresponding political party there. Joffre, who has the leader's instinct in choosing his men, immediately selected Foch for the responsible position of commander of the Fifth army at La Fere-Champenoise. How he acquitted himself here is a matter of history. Early in October Foch succeeded to the command of the three armies of the north. He is now Joffre's right hand man and is looked upon as the "vice generalissimo" of the French army. Interior of Houses Damaged. Paris.—Many Belgrade houses are intact on the outside, but the interiors are destroyed, due to the queer tricks of shells, fell through the roof and exploded inside. --- SAVE YOU READ THE APEAL?

June 6, 1885 at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under act of Congress, March 3, 1885. SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1915. WE GREET DR. SPINGARN. THE APPEAL welcomes to the Twin Cities Dr. J. E. Spingarn, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, and one of the strongest advocates of justice and equal rights for the colored people of the country, who is making his second tour of the country in the interest of the colored people. The Cincinnati Times-Star of last Saturday had a long account of Dr. Spingarn's recent address in that city, which we republish elsewhere. The colored people of Saint Paul and Minnesota should turn out enamuse the Spingarn meetings and give the great advocate of justice and equal citizenship a right royal welcome. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER. The visit of William Monroe Trotter, editor, orator and agitator, to the Twin Cities was a great event. He was received right royally and the simple modest manner in which he told the story of his visit to President Wilson to protest against an outrageous wrong, charmed his hearers, created enthusiasm and made a host of friends. The moral fibre of the people has been quickened and there is now as never before a determination to fight against the many wrongs and insults which are heaped upon the colored people. They have learned the lesson that it takes money to fight for justice and they mean to make sacrifices if necessary in order to provide the means for the fight. There are no frills and furbelows about William Monroe Trotter. He is a plain, earnest, honest, upright man, who has decided to give up wealth, official pre-emerency and worldly honors to dedicate his life to a noble cause. THE APPEAL has always admired him because he is an UNCOMPRO- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con The human race h test.

While the majority of the so-called leaders have equivocated and compromised the people for gold or power, William Monroe Trotter has always stood as a stone wall against every form of injustice whether by the Nation, the state, the municipality or the church. INFAMOUS LEGISLATION The Democratic House of Representatives has passed an infamous act, prohibiting the intermarriage of white and colored persons in the District of Columbia. The vote was about four to one but the fact that sixty members voted against the infamous measure shows that the idea of justice is not yet dead. The bill is an insult to one-tenth of the population of the United States. It strikes at the very foundation of Christianity for among Christians of every creed, marriage is regarded as a divine institution. There is no reason for such legislation. Caucasians usually marry Caucasians and Afro-Americans usually marry Afro-Americans. The number who marry interracially is wholly negligible. The real purpose of the Bill is to place a stigma upon the Afro-American people. The Clark Bill is really an open invitation to immorality and leaves the Afro-American woman without protection and an easy prey to vicious men of the white race. If there is to be any mixing of the races it ought to be done legitimately in Christian marriage and not in an immoral manner. It is not the proper function of the Government to draw lines of invidious distinction between its various classes of citizens and place on the statute books a law which in effect brands one group of citizens as unfit, classing it with imbeciles, idiots, defectives, degenerates and criminals. And then there is another point of view. The mixing which has already taken place has not resulted in degenerate specimens of manhood. The first blood spilled in the Revolution, army War was that of a mixed-blood—Crispus Attucks. Frederick Douglass, one of America's greatest orators, a patriot and a statesman was of mixed-blood. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, the great literate and sociologist, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the great industrial educator, is a mixed-blood. H. Y. Tanner, the great artist whose pictures have been purchased by the French Government and now hang in the Louvre, is a mixed-blood. Dr. Daniel H. Williams, one of the world's greatest surgeons and who was the first man surgeon in all the world to operate successfully on the human heart, is a mixed-blood. THE APPEAL could name thousands of other mixed-bloods of whom America may well be proud. Every colored person ought to get busy at once and write to the Senators who represent his state and ask them to vote against the bill when it reaches the Senate. Do it now. We are delighted to state that to the everlasting credit of the Minnesota delegation in the House, they voted against the infamous bill. "COWARDICE ON THE PLATFORM." A recent issue of the Atlanta Independent had a full page of redot editorial matter lambastig the cowardly curs who call themselves "leaders." If our esteemed contemporary will keep up his kind of work for a while, perhaps our Georgia brethren may be aroused from their lethargy and as the editor suggests, and these are his words: "Kick out of pulpits and THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma scientious dischar to stand alone; th ant, intolerant ju demn, the counter may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relati I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. ce when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. Under the caption "Cowardice on the Platform," the editor says: "No race or people in the history of civilization ever endured a leadership of more consummate cowards. The average Negro is a coward in his own esteem. Void of respect, appreciation or manly resentment, he submits to every indignity, with apology, the white man inflicts upon him. When we speak of cowards, we do not mean physical cowards, but moral and intellectual cowards. The coward who hasn't the moral courage to resent a wrong. The coward who submits to every indignity imposed upon him by cowardly newspapers; the coward who accepts every jimcarw accommodation offered. The Jews will not read a paper that is hostile to the Jews. The Irishman resents with all his hot blood insults heaped upon his race by newspapers and other nationalities. The Japanese resents with all his manliness, with all his soul, with all his might, every wrong done him because of his race, his color or his condition. There is nobody a coward but the Negro; there is nobody that kisses the hand that smites him but the Negro; there is no race so divided against itself and is such a consummate band of bootlickers, cowards and sycophants as black educated leaders. What we need is a manly leadership—one full of moral courage and intellectual bravery. Men who will tell the race of indignities that they ought not to endure, and how they may rid themselves of the agencies that seek to crush and undo it. Let us have a manly race; and we can only have a manly race by many leadership." THE APPEAL is always pleased to read in the columns of its Southern Afro-American contemporaries editorials which serve to inspire the race to always fight against wrong. In the article which follows, Mrs. Maggie ... Walker, the banker, Luke L. Sterhake, Richmond, Virginia, truly says, "When the spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption." THE POWER OF AGITATION The greatest power on earth for the righting of wrongs, is the power of agitation. When the spirit and power of agitation die among a people, they are doomed beyond all hope of resuscitation and redemption. So important is agitation that a guarantee to the people through the Constitution of the United States. The colored man is not an agrator, nor has he ever been. It has dinned into his ears until it has reached his very soul, that all he has to do toward the Lord himself should wait until the Lord himself shall see him down and right them. The idea of peaceably assembling and making intelligent and persistent protest against outrage and wrong seems foreign to him. Or, should he start an agitation to save the people, then he loses heart, abandons the effort and gives up like a disappointed child. It is the agitation of the waters of the sea, which prevents stagnation and death. It is the agitation of the air which gives pure air to breathe. It is the agitation of the blood, which gives us the power of motion and life, and it is the agitation of thoughts and ideas which prevents brain stagnation and mental death. When a people loses that interest in themselves, to that extent that they stand supinely by quietly submitting to wrong, without protest, they have reached the danger point in race progress development. n who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- dgment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- MENTAL TROUBLE IN EUROPE Many Loss Balance Through Terrors of Battle and Fatigue. 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 roar of artillery, was in a high degree unfavorable to the minds of the combatants, and the record of mental derangements caused by the war for east opened a new chapter in the history of the situation that similar results would attend the present war the German authorities established at Strassburg 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 Algerians even during the period of mobilization the corner 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 in a continuous fighting. People suffering in the motion 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 Question Areas. In one and One-third Acrees. L. Leonges, Cali—If a one armed man succeeds in supporting a wife and thirteen children on one and one-quarter acres of irrigation land, he 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. 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 case as perfetration or classification 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 soft as they were when they first 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 nurse, describes the disease is without hope. She can eat only grunls 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 by paralysis. The woman's husband is a well-serve man, 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 in the sand hill 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 THE PRESIDENT AND THE AFRO-AMERICAN. (From the Chicago Tribune.) We are not ready to concede that any one of citizenship has less standing under the law of the state. If the south wishes to make any other such issue 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 property superior and does not apply where it is inconvenient. No wonder American girls are so sweet, according to statistics they spend $164,000,000 for candy. EASTERN TIME FOR CHICAGO. Traders Favor Gaining an Hour, but Railroads Oppose It. Chicago.—There is widespread discussion here among banks, stockbrokers, 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. The question is whether we 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 and Chicago have similar schedules. Spokane recently unhindered 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, 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 I. Mitchell, who visited his old home near Ridgwell recently, brought back a bit of rare news. The wife of West Mitchell, a business section, has just presented her husband with the eight 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 chil- ding living, one of each set having died. "BROKE" HIS WRIST TO GET BIG DAMAGES Many Dollars Collected From Various Claim Agents. Minneapolis, Mimi.—How an obedient wrist bone served as a means of Ivellah hood 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 "a charge of attempted grand larceny" againstaint 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 alley or any obstacle on the sidewalk, gasp for breath and allow his left land to hang limp from the wrist. Six rides has been taken in ambulances, six fair nurses have been taken in the color slowly returned to his face. Five 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. 29, 1913. Northern Pacific, $1,200 May 6, 1914. Kennedy Bros., $400 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. Wils. I was brakeman of the old Wisconsin court. My left wrist was broken. Abandoned. I could have I could have injury to collect damages from others. At Duluth I got a follow-up 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 Minnesota 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 Vermeuln in attacking a hostile machine gun."

Arrival of Shells Announced Paris.—In the Gazette de in 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 porter" are sent to German shells in the encampment. J. E. Milholland's Congratulatory Telegram. Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 13, 1914. Mr. Wm. Monroe Trottier, Race Leader, The Guardian, Poston, Mass. You have rendered great service. That interview with the president is a memorable event in the history of the race for Americanism. You were easily victor. Never has Mr. Wilson appeared to less advantage. I congratulate you on such a display of moral courage, answering loyalty and genuine Americanism. JOHN M. HILHOLLAND. Defective Page TROTTER'S SPECIFIC DENIAL OF INSOLEENCE TO PRESIDENT. Interview in Boston Globe of Nov. 17 1914. William Monroe Trotter, whose remarks on segregation in Gov. niveen departments stirred President Wilson at a hearing in the White House last afternoon, and, after Boston yesterday afternoon, and, after, offensive either in his speech or manner, told of the way in which the report of the hearing was given to the President, "As we left the President," said Mr. Trotter, "I told him I was very sorry if he still considered that I had offended him. The President smiled and said, 'O, we'll call it all right.' We all said it was right, and caucused in Sec. Tumulty's room as to what we should say for the newspapers. I told the newspaper men briefly about the conference, merely describing it as a warm affair. White House when Mr. Tumulty called me back and said: 'Trotter, you have violated every courtesy of the White House in quoting the President to the president.' I told Mr. Tumulty that I had done so in ignorance of the rules, and apologized. He accepted my apology. Then I asked the newspaper not to publish what I told them, and they replied that 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 it was all right, I told me everything was all right, that I had 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 not in manner, language, tone nor in any other way I disbursements, impertinent or insolent to President Wilson." "My whole attitude was that of endeavoring, on the spur of the moment, to be in place of many difficulties and try to refute it successfully and feeling a great responsibility to do so, I spoke with positiveness, deliberateness and directness, looking the President in the eye." "I did not quiz or catechize the President, and I did not attempt to debate with him. The difficulty did criminate against and segregated in the press, and 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 by the Chief Executive of the Nation, I was not temper, much less lost my temper." MR WILSON AND "SEGREGATION.' New York.—To the Editor of THE APPEAL 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 coloration of the police in Washington. The whole incident shows grimly and forcefully how deeply the colored people of this country feel the injustice which Mr. Wilson's government has inflicted upon them. 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 the police have been working with the society has kept in close touch with the local situation, and on one occasion this representative appeared before the civil service committee and helped kill the bill of Edwards of Georgia and Aswatla of Louisiana make the police responsible for the federal civil service. Much of the segregation has disappeared. When the U street station of the postoffice in Washington was abolished all the colored men employed lost their positions, but through the intervention of this association three of them were reinstated. When the nurseries were 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 garden. Segregation, nevertheless, exists within the government 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 the federal service to be one 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 from the other members of any of them had a dream of Negroes. 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 the officials have tested against the attempted separation. Always the separation has caused humiliation and inconvenience and added cost. J. E. SPINGARN, (Chairman Board of Directors National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.) DID THE PRESIDENT LOSE HIS HEAD? (From the Philadelphia Press.) (From the Philadelphia Press.) It looks as though the result of the law's restrictions on the nerves and made him unreasonably irritable. In no other way can we account for the extreme sensitiveness and quick resentment which he exhibited while W. M. Trotter, of Boston, an chairman of a delegation of Colored employees were unfairly dispermitted to declare for segregation not come until the President had been some of the executive departments. There is nothing in Mr. Trotter's remarks as reported which disclose any ground for the President's resentment. 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 whose assertions and arguments he had made in the President into making the absurd statement that he was not at liberty to approve woman suffrage because it had no place in the National Democratic platform. He told Trotter that the Colored people were segregated in the South, and there was no friction until Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson got into the Cabi- net and began to enforce in their departments the principle of the Jim Crow law. imprisonment practiced is wrong in principle because it is disagreeable and unfair to one class of public employees who have a right to be treated by their Government without discrimination. The race affected had a right to be imprisoned, but the right to a proper spirit in going directly to the President with their grievance. We fear that the President has lost his head. He is certainly not so happy in prison, but he is not derer the irritation that so easily beats him as in his more studied deliverances which compel the admiration even of his political opponents and the fallacies 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 towards Mr. Trotter to persuade him to abandon policy of several Cabinet officers in drawing the color line in the Federal departments. The subject under discussion was the question of customs of fifty years old, the spirit of the institution 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 to be wondered at. That he overestimated the bounds of propriety is not shown. That the President was vexed is all that appears in the published record. If any adequate reason for his vexation be 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 was supplied by the Cabinet members. That there was a narrow-minded policy of segregating Colored employees from white jobholders. The incident recalls the similar vexation shown by the President when he asked him if he dismissed an equal suffrage delegation to the ground that he could not "submit to cross-examination." When a man is right, he will usually lie; when a man is wrong, the other side; when he knows he is wrong, he is very likely to fly off the handle. DR. SPINGARN'S SECOND TOUR.

Spingar, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has consistently white advocates of justice and equal rights for Afro-Americans, is soon to make a second tour of the country in the interests of the cause of our race, and is remembered that last January he addressed the NAACP trott, Chicago, Quincy, Kansas City, Topeka, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cleveland, attracting very large audiences wherever he went, and nearly everywhere winning wide publicity in white pages for the cause of justice to the Negro.

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 as field secretary of the constitution league of the United States on the memorial to you on Thursday, the 12th day of voting your intervention against the segregation of government employees at Washington or elsewhere on the campus. Color. I respectfully submit that such segregation violates the spirit and letter of the institution of the United States, forces hardships and degradations of Colored employees, undermines civilization of American institutions, contravenes a principle of righteousness and justice and is a shameful reproach to our Christian religion. Segregation represents not the ideals of freedom but the realities of poverty. I pray that you as the Christian President and Christian nation will use your great powers, which are more than amply sufficient to remove this foul blot from our civilization.

"The terrible crime at Monticello, Ga., where an elderly Negro, his son and two daughters were strung up and shot to pieces by a mob, is merely another proof that America is not giving a fair deal to the black man." said Dr. J. E. Spingarn of New York, chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and former professor of comparative literature in Columbia university, who was at the Sinton hotel Saturday. Dr. Spingarn has made probably as deep a study of the race problem as any white man and, as a matter of every effort to evoke one month of every course to tour to help secure equal economic tourity and equal civil and political rights for all men, regardless of race or creed. He is the donor of the Spingarn gold medal awarded to a Negro annually for highest achievement. Friday night he spoke in the Douglass School. "There have been between 3,000 and 4,000 lynchings of Negroes in the last twenty years. The Southern people at first gave as an excuse for these lynchings that they were directed against 'black brutes' who threatened the virtue of white women. But lynching is one of those ogres that feeds on itself. The Negroes are now being lynched for almost anything—sometimes for merely 'getting fresh' to a white man or brushing against him on the street. "The four Negroes at Monticello were lynched because they beat up a police official. The matter of a white man never entered into the case. In fact, in the modern lynchings in the South it even claimed that a white woman was attacked. Race hatred—hatred of the Negro—is at the bottom of these whites.

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: The Victory. 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. The board 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 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 sex. 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 we WANTED, A NOTARY PUBLIC Franklin YER 203, IRON EXCHANGE BLDG.

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. 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. Hawkins an explanation of his actions which has been requested 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 credit for their united stand. They are very jubilant over the victory. J. C. Minkins, Rev. J. Harrison and Dr. Robinson for the N. A. A. C. P. branch. We have already renewed the letter of the Guardian will read the letter from the pen of M. E. L.
