NO. 16 ENGLAND TO PASS PROHIBITION LAW Dry Movement Spreads Over All Warring Nations. RUSSIA GREATLY BENEFITED. Czar Stopped Sale of Vodka, Favorite Russian Drink, at the Outbreak of Hostilities — France Then Stopped Traffic In Absinthe — Germany and England Expected to Follow Suit. London.—Prohibition has had such a magical effect in Russia that the Britains it was seriously thinking of forbidding the use of alcoholic drinks in England and Scotland. In France there is a strong agitation tending in the same direction, and the sale of absinthe has been stopped. In Russia prohibition really prohibits. If it be adopted in Great Britain it will really prohibit. No distinctions will be made between rich and poor. King George has sealed the royal wine cullers and serves stronger than ginger ale at the royal table. Lord McKencher and other leaders have already abolished all liquor from their houses. Russia ordered prohibition by an imperial ukase at the beginning of the $\textcircled{1}$ $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{3}$ $\textcircled{4}$ $\textcircled{5}$ $\textcircled{6}$ LEADERS IN PROHIBITION MOVEMENT: 1. THE KAISER; 2. THE CZAR; 8. KING GORGE; 4. PRESIDENT POINCARE; 5. DA- VYL A. LLODD-ABORGE; 6. SECRETARY DAN- IELS UNITED STATES NAVY war. Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in chief of the armies, insisted upon it. He said mobilization would be impossible without it. It was a bold step to take, as the manufacture of vodka — the favorite Russian spirituous tipple — was the principal source of revenue to the government, and this was in dire need of increasing rather than of decreasing the revenue at that moment. But the effects have been so amazingly beneficial that it is doubtful if the general sale of vodka will ever be resumed, even after the war. In England an act of parliament will interest the public, and the liquor interests are so vast that so powerful that the passage of such an act will be fought tooth and nail. There is another way, and Lord Kitchener is just the man to adopt it if he can have his will by no other means. This is to declare mortal law and order all the bars, breweries, distilleries and wine shops to be closed. The reason for this seemingly extraordinary measure in Great Britain is the difficulty the military and naval authorities have had in getting an adequate supply of munitions of war from the factories and dockyards. There have been strikes and disputes with sailors, and the output of many factories has been far below what those best able to judge considered it ought to be. This is especially true of the shipyards. The position that the trouble was due to drink is said to have come from the owners of the shipyards. However this may be, the fact remains that Great Britain is a fairly bird drinking country. According to Sir Thomas Dewar, 3,000,000 persons earn their living by making and selling liquor. In the year 1913 the people of the United Kingdom spent $383,405,000 or more than $16 a head for every man, woman and child on liquor. This is approximately the amount per capita of the United Kingdom, the burdens drinking parts of England are the northern and western counties—the great mining and manufacturing regions. The effect of drink upon society may be judged from the fact that in the years 1902-8, out of every 1,000 inhabitants 6,51 were actually arrested for drunkenness, and in the years since 1890 there has been an average of 2,871 deaths a year from alcoholism, of which 60 per cent were men and 40 per cent were women. The mortality from alcoholic excess has increased 97 per cent among males during the last twenty years and among females it has increased by no less than 180 per cent. PLAYS TUBA ALL DAY LONG. After Twenty-seven Hours of Blowing He Drank Gallons of Beer. He Drank Gallons of Beer. New York-Lambertia Johannes de Jung says he is the champion tuba player of the world. He plays the big born in the band of the Holland-America liner Potsdam, recently in port here. Lambertia says he won the championship about a year ago in a contest at Rotterdam with Rintje Vou尔斯, also a celebrated Holland tubist. In this contest DJeung played for twenty-seven hours continuously, easily outdistancing his competitor, who blew himself out at something over twenty-three hours. After this long period of playing Lambertia said he was not particularly tired but very thirsty and had thirty-four seals, which was also a record. It was said, even for Rotterdam. From constant playing the lung power and his hard development to such an extent that he often has to run around the deck several hours before playing. Otherwise, he says, the tremendous pressure might blow the lining out of the tuba. When steam is low in the boilers he is often called upon to blow the Potsdam's whistle. This is especially helpful in a fog, economizing on steam. Lambertia halls from Leyden and has been an expert on the tuba ever since he can remember, as his father was before him. He has many decorations, and his great extent, as tuba players often become, according to Dr. Taft, the ship's surgeon. This makes him an expert wrestler. He has played the Potsdam in and out of Hoboken for six years. KICKED BY MULE: RETALIATES Because Wolton Kicked Back He Was Put In In Jail in Kentucky. Independence, Ky.-Were you ever kicked by a mule? If so, did you ever attempt to kick back? Doing the latter is what caused the arrest of Robert Wolton. He is charged by an S. P. C. A. officer with being cruel to a mule in that he "kicked it with so much force that the animal suffered great physical pain and agony." Wolton declares the mule kicked first. He said he kicked back in self defense, and that the special officer only saw that part of the entertainment and arrested him. NERO WAS MODERN; HAD THREE ELEVATORS And Hobble Skirt Reigned In Moses' Time, Says Scholar. And Hobble Skirt Reigned In Moses' Time, Says Scholar. Philadelphia — The palace of Nero had three elevators. In the year 6 A. D. an income tax was established in Rome on all incomes in excess of $4,000. The hobble skirt was one of Dame Fashion's decrees in the days of Moses. These and many other interesting facts going to show that life among the ancients was not so different from that of today were brought out by Professor Camden M. Coben, explorer and archaeologist, who has just returned from a trip to Palestine. Professor Coben in a series of lectures upon his archaeological discoveries pointed out that the Jews had three systems of shorthand reporting in the first century and that in every Jewish court a shorthand reporter or clerk sat on each side of the judge. Many of the Roman aristocrats took "stenographers" with them upon their travels. Some of the other advantages enjoyed by the ancients according to Professor follow: In St. Paul's time there were seventy labor unions in Rome, hence a struggle between capital and labor must have been waged even then. There were several great monopolies in the first century, the greatest of all being the oil business, although mention of Rockefeller appears on the papyrus examined by the American scholar. The "trust" had not cornered kerosene, which was unknown at that period, but dealt in olive oil. There also were monopolies in eggs, perfumes and bricks. As to homes the ancients made the New York millionaires look like "pikers." Professor Cobern says he has read in manuscripts dug from ancient tombs and houses of a Roman who spent $12,000,000 upon decorations for his house. Another plutocrat spent $50,000,000 in one year. Even Nero was no slouch when it came to "burning money." On one occasion he spent $175,000 for roses on his banquet tables. The roses were brought from Egypt. Electric Light Good Bait. Mount Vernon, Ill.-Chaucey Houchin, Fred Van Nada and Rex Fowler. White river fishermen, have invented a plan which has been helpful to them in catching fish. They made an arrangement for lighting the water, which attracted hundreds of fish to the water, which eagerly bit at the bait dropped to those eagerly bit at the cates were unusually large. The arrangement for lighting the water consisted of eight dry batteries, to which an electric light was attached and dropped into the water. The wire was heavily insulated to prevent charging the water with electricity. EFFECT ON OUTSIDE WORLD Greatest Naval Power of World Now Attempting to Reduce Strongest Land Fortifications—Mehmed V. Grants Interview to Correspondents and Lauda Valor of His Troops and the Germans. Constantinople—One of the most interesting developments that the war has brought about is the great effort of the allies to force the Dardaneleas strait and the superb resistance that the Turkish defenders, assisted by the German officers, have been able to display. This bombardment, in which the strongest naval powers in the world are attempting to reduce the strongest land fortifications in the world, will go down in history as the most spectacular naval engagement of all time. Each shot fired by the allied fleet is felt in all parts of the world. Stored away in Russia, without an outlet, there are thousands and thousands of bushels of wheat that the world is clamoring for. Unless the forts are forced to must remain there, for there is no other outlet. If the strait is penetrated, however, this grain will flood the world's markets and the price of wheat will be reduced all over the globe. The forts are confident that they can reduce these unavailable fortifications. The defenders are likewise certain that the task is impossible. This is what the sultan of Turkey said, a group of American correspondents. "I am convinced that the Dardangelles cannot be forced. The brave conduct of the Turkish troops in the recent operations against the strait permits me to conclude that although the allies bend every effort and use every means at their disposal they will be unable to achieve their purpose." The various phases of the bombardment were discussed by his majesty in a meeting demonstrating that he was well informed of affairs. Mehmed M. V was in most cordial frame of mind. Many of the incidents related by the correspondents brought to the sultan's face broad smiles of satisfaction, appreciation and amusement. How the correspondents had been obliged to make a hasty retreat when Kale Sultania was reached by the allies' shells appeared to be of special interest to his majesty. When one of the correspondents told the sultan that he had been made nervous in Chanak ka Esiil by the explosions of large shells, which impelled him to stoop at every detonation, and he old interpreter, who also was retreating, touched him on the arm each time, saying, "Look kismet." the sultan was much amused and touched the newspaper man on the shoulder a most fatherly fashion and proceeded to explain that the use of the word "kismet" was improper under such circumstances. "The old man should have used the word 'kader', because that term expresses more fully what he wanted to convey," said his majesty. "The word 'kader' that our fate is in the hands of a superior force and that what is to happen will happen anyway. The idea is known among you, I believe, as fatalism. But 'kader alone will not do. We also must work." This incident disposed of, his majesty asked the correspondent to continue his description of the sinking of the French ship Boudry and the British Irresistible. That the Boudry disappeared within three minutes broke a look into the kindly gray eyes of his majesty as if he regretted that so many human beings had perished without a chance to fight for life. The suitant then asked if his troops appeared to be happy and contented. The answer being emphatically in the affirmative, a new smile of satisfaction lit up his face. "It has been said that it was the factor of luck that made our victory on March 18 so complete and great." he remarked, "but we in the Turkish have a saying, 'Luck is infatuated with the efficient.'" "It appears very unjust to me that the allies want to force the Dardanelles to use Constituentjustice to import food from Russia. But our army and coast defense force have shown their ability and willingness to do their duty. I am speaking here not alone of the Turkish defenders of the Dardanelles, but also those Germans who have so efficiently and bravely co-operated with them. "I would thank you if you would say for me that my admiration for the German troops in the east and the west is so great that it is impossible for me to express in words my high opinion of their valor and efficiency. Concerning their chief commander, Emperor William, I can only say that we in Turkey pray that he may enjoy the best of health for many years." The sultan was informed that Emperor William was sending with Field Marshal William iron crosses of the first and second charge he intended to decorate his majesty and the sultan appeared highly pleased. "I am proud of being presented with medals which decorate so many brave men," he said. TERRIER'S LONG VIGIL. Guarded Basket For Twenty-four Hours Before Yielding. St. Louis. — ignoring all blundements, a Skye terrifier guarded an empty basket for twenty-four hours at Taylor and Adams streets, Kirkwood, until finally a boy made friends with the dog and coaxed it to his home, to which he also took the basket. Persons living in the neighborhood first observed the dog at its vigil the previous afternoon. It refused to let anybody touch the basket and could not be nudged away by tempting offers of food. Mrs. J. J. Wilkins carried food and wear to the dog and gave it a sack to lie upon. He nudged the baker, fourteen-year-old son of Arthur Amber, made overtures to the terrifier for a long time before he won its confidence sufficiently for it to permit him to take the basket. Who owns the dog and the basket could not be ascertained, and young Amber said he hoped the owner would not turn up. TEACHERS ALL GET MARRIED Superintendent of Battle Creek (Mich.) Superintendent of Crawford County Battle Creek, WI—William G. Coburn, superintendent of schools, complains of the inroads the Cupid makes on his corps of teachers. An amazing proportion of them leave each year to marry. This year nineteen teachers are wearing diamond solitaires. Professor Coburn has made many visits to normal schools to fill vacuaries, and he says that next year he will have to do it all over again. Last year he warned the county clerk against issuing marriage licenses to schoolteachers under contract. He declared that "a woman who will break her contract with the school board would not hesitate very long breaking a marriage contract." The county clerk couldn't see his way clear to turn down an applicant for a license. Mr. Coburn has been superintendent of schools here for twenty years, and recently he was re-elected for another term. CERTIFIED BABIES GIVEN IN CHICAGO Dispose of Homeless Children to Worthy Foster Parents. Chicago—The city of Chicago is giving away officially certified babies—brown eyed, gray eyed and blue eyed little beauties, quite chubby and perfectly healthy—and they are intrusted to the care of highly recommended and thoroughly foster parents only. This is a new idea, in which Chicago leads the way. Medical officials of other large cities are watching its development with close interest and with a view to its adoption. Chicago, like every other municipality, finds on its hands dependent little ones who are no parents to care for them, no friends to vouch for their good behavior. Chicago takes all under its broad wing—Chicago leads among the baby loving cities—examines them physically and mentally and then offers officially certified infants for adoption. What home needs a baby? Many a household is ready and anxious to welcome a healthy and happy youngster, but not every one is worthy of the new arrival. At least so Chicago thinks, and thereupon proceeds to examine the would be foster parents. Dr. William J. Hickson of the psychopathic laboratory of the municipal court of Chicago is the originator of the plan. Dr. Hickson is a baby specialist and an ardent student of the problem of mental deficiency. Here are his fixed standards for a certified baby: "At birth the certified baby must weigh at least six pounds and measure twenty inches. "At one year of age he must weigh twenty-one pounds and measure twenty-seven inches. Increasing three inches during the second year, and from his third to tenth year two inches annually. His fontanelle, or soft spot, should close at about the nineteenth month. "Mentally he should be as follows: "Three to four and one-half months, grasp an object that is placed before him. Hold his head erect, unsupported, and reach for toys. "Eight to ten months, start to creep. Some babies never creep, but start to walk instead. "Ten months, start to stand, holding some object. At eleven months, stand entirely alone and at from twelve to fourteen months start to walk. "One year, say 'manma' and 'papa.' "Two years talk quite plainly, know names of animals, persons and objects and put two words together." TOWN DRUNKARD DOOMED. New York Governor Signs Bill Allowing Constable to Forbid Him Drink. Albany, N. Y. The town drunkard must reform in spite of himself. Governor Whitman and Senator Jones have conspired to bring this about. A bill signed by the governor provides that the town shall have the power to forbid the sale or giving away of liquor to certain persons by notice in writing. Defective Page FARMERS' WIVES ARE NEGLECTED FARMERS' WIVES ARE NEGLECTED TELL OF HOME CONDITIONS Department of Agriculture in Attempt to Better Their Opportunities Will Issue Special Instructions. Letters From 2,241 Women on the Farm Say They Are Overworked. Washington.—A picture of farm life in the United States which has never been equaled and perhaps never will be, because it is told in the testimony of thousands of farmers' wives, is contained in a document which has taken the department of agriculture a year and a half to prepare and which is now only just completed. It is an appealing, human and in many respects a pitiful story. It reveals in a vivid way the truth of a complaint that has been frequently made in past years—that of all the factors in the rural problem the one that has been most neglected is the farmers' wives. This was called forly to the attention of the department in a letter in the summer of July, 1913. Secretary Houston decided to find out for himself. He wrote to 55,000 farmers' wives throughout the United States asking them to tell him their greatest needs and what they thought the department of agriculture could do to help them. He received 2,241 replies, representing, however, the opinion of many thousand women, because many of the writers submitted his inquiry to their church clubs, clubs, granges or church organizations. One Michigan woman expressed her hopelessness in the following: "The farm is run for the benefit of the farm and not the family. Of what use is it to buy more land to raise more corn to feed more hogs to buy more land!" Interesting extracts from other letters from north, south, east and west as follows: "The farmer in 100 watches his wife to see if she is overworking, as he does his horses." "I would have a law passed whereby no man should be allowed to have a farm unless he would provide for his wife as well as he does for his stock." "The busy housewife can get along with any old thing as long as she lives, and a fine monument at the grave is enough for her." "Get out a government bulletin on The Care of the Wives and Daughters, to be sent out along with the stock crates or poultry circulars." "The taxes and interest are our undoing. Put the taxes on the rich man, the millionaire, the woman who owns diamonds and velvets and gives to farmers' wives a chance to buy a 'best dress' a few times in our lives." "The farm woman is about the only individual we know of who earns an income and doesn't get it." "It is not the lack of cosmetics that ages us of the farm before our time. It is the ination of the treadmill, the life of hard, incessant labor without reward." Some of the letters have an element of humor. One says: "It is the marmoset own fault if they are imposed on me. I get nearly everything I need. If I don't get it one year I keep on until I do, and I don't think I am a very nagging woman." Another writes: "I invent some kind of an adjustable aluminium chain shirt so us women won't have to be always patching." Still another: "We need a law to prevent a doctor from using an opiate for everything from the toothache to cancer." Again, there are pleas for instruction in cooking. One letter contains the following: "In one home the mother put eggs to try for supper before she put her black ink inside the oven to bake, and fried them steamed the entire time the biscuits were baked. The next day I saw her, while getting a quick lunch place a frying pan over the fire with at least a pint of lard in it, and as soon it was warm, but not all melted, break three eggs into it. from which she finally took them tough, leathery and altogether indigestible." Perhaps the most general complaint is that the wife benefits less than any other person, or even animal, on the farm, from the progress made in labor saving devices and other improvements. As one puts it: "A sheep dip, but no bathurb; a fine buggy and a poor baby carriage." The letters, as a whole, paint country life in America anything but the rosette hats with which it is usually pictured. The reasons ascribed are many, but as one farmer's wife, probably the most philosophic of all, expresses it: "It seems to me, after all, it is just according to the man we live with." The document of the department of agriculture is prepared in four reports, dealing with the social and labor, economic, domestic and educational needs of farm women. Fifty-one Relatives in Army, British convalescent troops in a British convalescent hospital, has fifty-one relatives in the army, including four of his uncleen children. PEGOUD IN AIR BATTLES. Brought Down German Taube and Made Two Prisoners. Faris. Another daring exploit has been added to the long list of those successfully carried out by Adophe Pegoud, the famous French aviator, who is reported to have attacked and brought down a German taure near St. Menehaden while he was alone on patrol duty. The report of the incident says that when Pegoud saw the German approaching he few rapidly toward the hostile air craft and sent it to earth with a few well placed shots. Pegoud then landed beside the taure and took Photo by American Press Association. ADOLPHE PEGOUD. prisoner the German pilot and observer, neither of whom was injured. Earlier in the same day Pegoud is reported to have driven off three other German airplanes, one of which had dropped nine bombs on a railroad station. Pegoud, who first gained fame in 1913 as the originator of the feat of flying upside down in an airplane, was awarded the French military award early in March for services rendered to the army during the war. PAIN ENGRAVED ON HEART OF D'AMADE Son Died In Battle Just Before He Left For Dardanelles. Son Died In Battle Just Before He Left For Dardanelles. Paris—General A. G. L. d'Amade, commander of the French expeditionary forces at the Dardanes and hero of many hard fought campaigns, has lost his youngest son, aged eighteen, who was a second lieutenant of infantry. A friend of the general has just received from him the following letter, written while he was on the way to the Dardanes: "Dear Sir—I am very late in acknowledging the receipt of your letter. The cause of the delay is a great misfortune which has come upon us. I have lost my youngest son, Gerard d'Amade, a second lieutenant, of eighteen years, who had only just been received at St. Cyr in the last competition of July, 1914. "He fell gloriously for France during a night reconnoitering expedition in the Argonne. Mortally wounded, he fell upon the very trenches of the enemy which he had received instructions to reconnoiter. "Oo German generals who were witness of his bravery and courage wrote me expressing spontaneously their admiration and named me that our poor child had been buried near V—, in the great forest of Argonne. "I have no need to tell you that it is a great pain, but we could offer to God and to France nothing more beautiful, nothing more pure, nothing more generous, than that child. We are proud of him, but after the war we shall mourn him until death. "I carry with me in my new mission this pain, engraved deeply in my heart, as an example of courage and as a great reason to hope you may never know the pain that we have suffered." WILEY DEFENDS KISSING. Says Women Should Be Kissed on the Cheek—He Was Never in Danger. Chicago—Dr. Harry W. Wiley, pure food expert, who is on a tour urging better care of the nation's teeth, took up the question of kissing in an address before the City club. "Girls must have good teeth if they want to be kissable," he said. "Babies should be kissed, too, but not on the mouth, and women may be safely kissed on the cheek unless they are bitten with poisonous paint or poison. "If there is any danger in kissing," he concluded, "nobody ever threatened me." $2.40 PER YEAR. BET WAR WILL END BY SEPT. 1 Odds In London Ten to One on Peace Before Dec. 1. BIG SUPPLY OF AMMUNITION British Expert Thinks That the Side That Can Kill the Most Men Will Win in the End-Asserts That Germany Has a Sufficient Supply of Food to Last Year. London.—There is probably no question asked more frequently just now than: "When do you think the war will end?" Opinions differ widely, as is only natural when there is so little real information to go upon. Betting in the city is quoted as being, that the war will end: Before May 1, 1915—3 to 1 against. Before June 1, 1915—2 to 1 against. Before Sept. 1, 1915—even. Before Dec. 1, 1915—10 to 1 on. Before March 1, 1916—15 to 1 on. This certainly indicates a more optimistic feeling than anything said by ministers and other important authorities would seem to justify, though all of these are careful not to commit themselves to anything definite. Generally speaking, the highly placed authorities are grave in tone, and preparations of all kinds are going on with increasing vigor. Lord Southwark announced at the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce that he was authorized by Lord Kitchener to say that since the beginning of the war "we have increased the output of what it was before 300 times in excess of what it was before." He added that under the bill we were discussed in the house of lords he hoped and expected to get a great accession of labor which would enable him enormously to increase the supplies." Statements like this and Asquith's recent warning that the war would be a long one seem to suggest that the calculations of those who ought to know best hardly reckon on an early end to fighting. The official said the other day: "This war will only be ended by killing. The allies have to face Germany with a butcher's bill so huge that she will at last refuse to see it increased." To the question of how big he thought that the bill would have to be answered after awhile: "That is hard to say. But I estimate the German casualties up to date at 1,250,000, and that, I think, is barely half what they will have to be. But, believe me, they will be killed by kill hill kill. That they can be defeated. The question will not enter into it. They have plenty of provisions. It is only by killing their men that we shall make them give in." He then told me of a remark made by a German officer rescued from the Bluecheer. "Have your sailors nothing better to do with their time than to save the lives of the enemy?" This, he said, was right in effect, for the death of every German soldier or sailor the war so much nearer to its end, the notion of the British navy is to save life after the defeat of the enemy. An interesting article published by a writer whose opinions have often proved well justified gives the result of an inquiry made on the spot into the present conditions in Germany. From a Friend in the diplomatic corps in Berlin, who had unusual facilities for collecting the information, he obtained 8,000,000 ablebodies, men between nineteen and forty-five who had not served in the army up to Jan. 1. There were close up to 1,000,000 volunteers, half of whom were included in the ersatzreserve or substitute reserves. To these are to be added the approximately 4,000,000 now with the colors. Casualties reported up to Jan. 15 were said by the same authority to be 154,000,744; missing and prisoner 62,000,880. An estimate of total 88,000 estimate of the losses up to Feb. 1 makes the killed, wounded and missing or prisoners approximately 1,289,000. Allowing for the return to the firing line of only one third of the wounded, the irretrievable loss in fighting material is estimated at 10,000 officers and men up to Feb. 1. Making a week's of fighting, this estimate differs little from the 1,250,000 of the English authority referred to above. WEALTHY BOY JOINS NAVY. Pasadena Millionaire Gives Consent When His Son Enlists. Los Angeles, Cal.-Donald Murphy, nineteen years old, son of A. M. Murphy, a Pasadena millionaire, is at Mare island, San Francisco, where he enlisted for three years' service in the navy. Young Murphy drove up to the law enlisting office in Spring Street in his automobile, accompanied by his parents. "I want to enlist as a sailor in the American navy," he said to the officer in charge. His father and mother gave their consent. He passed the physical and mental examination and then was enlisted. Re-entering the automobile, he went to the Santa Fe station, where he boarded a train for Island. Murphy last year was graduated from the Pasadena high school. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? J. Q.

"Negroes in the United States," is the title of a pamphlet just issued by the United States Census Bureau. The title is misleading, for there are only 473 real Africans in the United States, according to the Census, that is Negroes born in Africa. The United States assumes that a group of about 10,000,000 people are Negroes and proceeds to so classify them. More than ninety-nine per cent of the persons so classified were born in America of American parents, and their parents were Americans and so on back for ten generations. If a man whose ancestors for many generations is not an American, who is entitled to the name? If a white man can become an American in two generations, why should a person of any other color born in this country fail to "arrive" in the same space of time? The name "Negro" applied to a group of citizens in this country is inaccurate, because it does not include forty or fifty million other Americans who have more or less Negro blood. The expression "pure race" is amyth so all great writers on racial questions agree. The mixing of bloods in this country has gone so far that it is impossible to determine with any degree of accuracy who has Negro blood and who has not, and for the Government to select about 10,000,000 people and say that they are "Negroes," and by that act to aid in making them a separate treatment in church and state, is to perpetrate a great wrong. There is no reason why a Democracy should attempt to classify its citizens by their blood. All persons born in this country should be considered Americans without any prefixes or suffixes. If the Government contention that every person with a drop of Negro blood is a Negro, then the Census figures are false. Instead of about 10,000,000, there are really nearly 90,000 or in other words the majority THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes con- The human race ha test.

For many years the South has opposed higher education and is not generally in favor of any kind of education for the masses, and to suggest that a colored person ought to receive a classical education is sufficient to throw a Southerner into hysterics. There's a reason. Rev. George H. Atkinson, president of the Albemarle Norman and Industrial Institute, Albemarle, N. C., is now in the North "raising funds" as so many other Southern beggars of various colors have done, prior to Rev. Atkinson's arrival. In a recent speech, the reverend gentleman said: "We believe if you educate a man in the South he will become dissatisfied and move to the North, where opportunities seem to be more numerous. His education, therefore, does not help the South. GOOD WORK, MR. TYLER: The Cleveland Gazette, speaking of the increase of race prejudice in Columbus, Ohio, tells a little story of the commendable action of Ralph W. Tyler, former auditor for the navy: "A motion picture theater in East Long street recently hung out a sign reading: 'First five rows in the rear reserved for colored patrons.' Learning of it, Mr. Tyler went out and saw the sign, then called up the chief of police, over the phone and demanded that he cause the sign to be removed, claiming it was an insult to 15,000 colored citizens, and stated, if the authorities did not remove the sign instanter he would tear it down if he had to go to jail for it. The sign was removed." That was an heroic action. THE APPEAL also commends Mr. Tyler's recent article in which he condemns the use of "negro" as a race name. Mr. Tyler thinks that American is good enough for all people born in this country and so does the writer. Paul Runganadhan, a native of Bangalore, India, presided at the diner given recently by the "1916 Class" of the W. S. D. Y. M. C. A. at Chicago. The Chicago Y. M. C. A. is greatly interested in breaking down caste in India. Money and men ar esent to break down this insidius foe in far off India and when East Indians come to Chicago, they are treated with great consideration. The Y. M. C. A. however, show that it is not entitled to the name "Christian" by erecting and maintaining a jimcrow branch for colored Americans. Away with such Christianity. George Mason, a Kentucky white man, who lives in the cliffs north of High Bridge, on the Kentucky river, was so frightened at the sight of the first train he had ever seen, that he threw a rock at the Royal Palm on the Queen & Crescent route. The stone broke a window and hit Ray Fagan. A gash was cut on Fagan's scalp, but after receiving medical treatment he was able to continue his journey. Mason declares that he had never before seen a train and that he thought the thing was some sort of "huge varmint." The cry of "Back to the farm" should now be changed to "Back to the ballot." The ballot is about the only thing that will check these outrageous assaults upon the constitutional rights of the colored people in this country.

The foregoing is from the Richmond Planet and there is more common sense in those seven lines than is usually printed in seven columns of the average paper. Editor Mitchell has certainly struck the key note of the cause of the trouble. One Professor Vernon Bartlett, professor of church history in Mansfield College, Oxford, makes the unique suggestion that Constantinople be turned over to the United States. Says he: "America is the one power which can govern without prejudice." "Evidently Prof. Bartlett does not know conditions in this country. The United States govern without prejudice. That's a good joke." The Spiritualists toasted Abraham Lincoln at their annual convention the other night. They claim that Lincoln was a Spiritualist and that seances were often held in the White House when he wa president, under the direction of Nettie Colburn Maynard. She said she urged him to give the great emancipation proclamation. And now comes Professor Camden N. Cobern explorer and archeologist and says that slang was used by the apostles in writing the New Testament. He declared that papri unearthed during the last twenty years prove that the writers of the New Testament used the vernacular Greek of that time which was very slangy. Dr. Lin Sun, president of the Chinese National Society is in the United States in the interest of his society. G. L. Sherwood Eddy and John R. Mott are endeavoring to introduce jimcrow Christianity of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. brand in to China. If they succeed, it will mean the eclipse of Dr. Sun. The Louisville News is making a great fight against segregation of residences and tells the colored citizens that they can help by refusing to be segregated in other walks of life. Segregation is wrong whether in a dive or a church and any church which practices it is no better than a dive. House Bill No. 131, introduced by R. R. Jackson, the colored member of the Illinois legislature, "prohibits plays or movies tending to incite ill feelings or prejudice, or to ridicule or disparage others on account of race." It has been approved by the Judiciary Committee and will pass. The new register of the treasury is five-eights Cherokee Indian. As that is more than half it may be right to call him an Indian. The former register, J. C. Napier, is not more than one-eighth of African blood, yet he is called a Negro. How about it? The colored people of Richmond, Va., have started to fight segregation. They have held a meeting of protest and are now raising money to pay lawyers. That's the way to do it. This hellish segregation business must be fought to a finish. St. Louis people have organized "The Colored American's Protective League." It will "fight jimcrowism, segregation and all discriminatory laws." That sounds good to THE APPEAL. Business men admitted that the whipping post kept Delaware in a rut and tried to have the legislature abolish it, but the women wanted it and the bill was voted down. 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- Is Laid to Rest by Loving Hands of Relatives and Friends. Relatives and Friends. On last Saturday afternoon the funeral of Mrs. L. J. Thompson was held at her late residence, 532 St. Anthony avenue, at 2:00 o'clock and at Pilgrim Baptist Church at 2:30. The funeral was virtually under the auspices of the Scientific Art Club, of which the deceased was a member. There was quite a large concourse of friends of the deceased present to pay the last tributes of respect to the departed. Rev. N. B. Murrell, pastor of the church, officiated, assisted by Rev. Jos. S. Strong, of St. James A. M. E. Mission. Music was furnished by a choir under the direction of Mme, Addie C. Minor who also sang as a she "Told Kindly Light," a favorite hymn of the deceased. The floral tributes were quite beautiful and numerous. The sermon was very impressive and appropriate. The deceased was a native of Mississippi, where she leaves her mother, two brothers and four sisters to mourn departure. She also leaves her devoted husband and a little son over three years old to mourn their loss also a host of warm friends whom she made during her residence here of over four years, by her lovable manner and disposition. During the funeral services the following paper was read by Mrs. J. S. Sparks of the Scientific Art Club. A Requiem, Tribute of Respect and Admiration. 'Tis the close of a beautiful life. Without apparent previous notice Divine Providence has removed our beloved sister Mrs. Alla Thompson, whose fineness of character, personality and taste for the beautiful of this world—and sweet Christian spirit, prepared her for this sudden call to a higher sphere. God touched her gently and she slept. We adored her for her many exalted qualities and Christian virtues, which so endangered her to her family. MRS. L. J. THOMPSON and to all who knew her. Her life on earth, so full of happy thoughts and pleasant words, created an atmosphere of joy for her friends. She has crossed into the Great Beyond where perpetual smiles, wreathe the lips of the ransomed. To her friends as to her family circle she showed pure and unselfish devotion and interest. Their fond hearts are now heavy with mourning, tears fall as we look upon her still in death—and the parting of the ways are shrouded in the mists of lamenting. Loving hands touched her tenderly noiseless footsteps moved about her, and whispering voices echoed the refrain of a grief too deep for words. Is there no help in Gise? Is there no balm in Gilead? We picture death as coming to destroy, can we not picture Christ as coming to save? We think of death as ending—shall we not think of the true life beginning? We think of losing—why not of gaining? We think of parting—why not of meeting? We think of going away—let us think of arriving. And as the voice of death whispered to Alla (you must go from earth). She heard the voice of the Saviour saying, you are coming to Haiti divine grace bore her across the dark changeth—in His peace and bliss of Paradise—where there is no night. She leaves with us a fond remembrance to which we can revert with admiration. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her and enjoyed her pure, sweet smile, and cheerful companionship. Dear friend—we loved them—mourn thee—miss thee, and reluctantly wait thee a sad farewell. This was followed by the following by Mrs. J. B. Johnson, also of the Scientific Art Club: St. Paul, Minn., April 10, 1915. Just as the evening shades are falling, Angels bore the pure spirit of Alma homeward from earth to heaven. falling, Angels bore the pure spirit of Alma homeward from earth to heaven. The center of her home, so full of hope, we wonder why a life should close so soon. We know not now: we shall know hereafter. In the death of Mrs. A. Thompson, the Scientific Art Club has lost a most noble, strong, upright, and influential member. She was always interested to the extent of trying to arouse the less interested faction by words of encouragement and exercised great mental efforts to induce her co-workers to participate. When we speak of a noble character it is to say very little towards the amiable life as there are few women of such sterling qualities. She was a sweet, gentle, and a most lovable woman to all who knew her as well. Always congenial and ever ready to link her ideas and efforts with others she thought good. Hence: We feel her loss greatly, and know her life to be one worthy of emulation. Resolved: In the sunlight of God's future, we shall know the meaning of the mysteries of this life, and the memory of Alla, will make us truer, purer, and gentler. We hereve held husband and family we extend our hearty sympathy and offer as a solace "Tis God who has bereft you. He alone knows best, And can all your sorrows heal. Resolved: Though He cause grief, yet will he have compassion, according to the multitude of his mercies. A lion one heed not gone. A voice we loved is stilled. A place is vacant in our midst, Which never can be filled. Resolved: That God in his wisdom has recalled, The boon His love had given. And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in heaven. Be it further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of our organization and copies forwarded to the bereaved relatives. The palibearers were Messrs. J. H. Sherwood, W. F. T. Chander, J. W. Kelly, M. L. Barksdale, O. C. Hall, W. P. Hough. Lyles funeral director, interment at Forest cemetery. BEING WOUNDED HAS BRIGHT SIDE BADLY INJURED BUT RAPPY. Women Give Up Hope For Boys as They Go to War, and Their Return, Although Disfigured, Is Occasion For Great Joy—One Said, "I'm Not Disfigured; I'm Decorated." Calais.—"You can't imagine the joy of mothers and fathers when their boys come back to them from the war minus an arm or a leg or some other portion of their bodies. Human nature is a queer thing, and war brings this queerness into strong relief," says one of the American correspondents now at the front. "I witnessed the arrival of a Red Cross train here. The cars were loaded with young men fresh from the Belgian border. A soldier I talked to, 'We gave them hell, I tell you—but we caught a few pellets ourselves.' "From the looks of them they had indeed. Some hobbled out of the cars, their arms in slings or their heads tied up or a foot off the ground; others came on stretchers to be transferred to the channel steamers waiting at the dock. One soldier limped out on the platform. His head was bandaged all around so voluminally that he couldn't wear his cap. "One arm was in a sling; the hand was bandaged in a way betokening the absence of one or more fingers. "Neatly stood a woman. She was looking for a sage on her. Suddenly the much bandaged soldier saw the woman and started. With an intricate sound, partly smothered by the bandages, he touched the woman. "She uttered a cry and seached eagerly the bandaged face. Apparently her mother love, rather than her eyes, told her it was her boy. "My son, my son! she exclaimed, enaptured. A Red Cross surgeon stepped up. "Madam," he said, 'your son undoubtedly will recover, but I must tell you that most of his jaw is shot away.' "Oh, I'm so glad, so glad!" the mother cried, tears streaming from her eyes. "I see that sort of thing many times daily, the surgeon said. When a mother sees her boy march away to war she gives him up for dead, she scarcely hopes even in her mother heart of hope ever to see her boy alive again. Always she lives in dread of the day when the brief announcement of the dead will contain the name of her boy. So at last, when her boy comes back to her it does not matter how terribly he is shot up or disfigured. It is the same with mothers everywhere, any time." "There is another cause for a mother's joy when her son returns maimed, broken physically, but alive. She knows the boy cannot return to the battle line, a mark for bullets and shrapnel that kill." "There is another strange thing to be noted while talking to the wounded. They are quite happy to have bad wounds about the face and head, much preferring disfiguring face wounds to lesser wounds in body or legs. "A train of wounded was on its way to southern France. When it halted at Boulogne those of the wounded who were able got out to walk up and down the platform. Among these was one whose face could hardly be called by that name. One eye was gone, the other was badly swollen until he could hardly see. Bandages covered all but discolored parts of his face. "You poor dear,' sympathized an Englishwoman who approached him timidly. 'You poor, poor boy.' "Madam,' replied the soldier with as much pride and clearness as the bandages would permit, 'don't pity me. Pity my friends in the train there who got it where it won't show.' "The Englishwoman couldn't understand." "Why—why—why," she stammered, "I thought you wouldn't like to be disfigured." "Disfigured!" the soldier replied. "I'm not disfigured; I'm decorated!" OLD THIEF SAVES BOY PAL Found In House He Stays to Let Youth Upstairs Escape. Terre Haute, Ind. — Dan McCarthy, aged sixty-one years, calmly waited for arrest when the police were summoned to a house by a burglar alarm over a telephone. He stood in the hall, making no effort to escape. Later he explained that he acted as he did in order to give his pal, who was upstairs, a chance to escape. The pal, he said, was only a boy, the son of a Chicago saloon keeper, and the old man did not wish the youngster caught "dead to rights," which would mean a prison term. He said that he had served so many terms he did not mind another one. In the city court he said he did not wish a lawyer and waived examination, speaking as one acquainted with court procedure. He was bound over to the circuit court, where, he says, he will plead guilty. He talked freely about his career, telling of his various prison experiences.

Independent Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this不便ate term. Why? They realy actor at work at the present moment, brief about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inflicted upon it, it also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegambian only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negroty," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweet-heart, if you favor the use of the masculine. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and that of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. Must Judge A Group by Its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston, Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two people we should say that the second people are the colored people better than the first. They do know aspirations among them that they the others do not know, or, knowing, do enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliqued of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by observation merely can know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the people would be courageously canid with themselves, they would revise their judgement and possibly soften their prejudices, and any rate they ought to credit to those who they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being. I do not propose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographical streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough as it is, when one considers the height and depth—the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all—Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstoi and Mollerie.

We are all in the same world. We are all alike. I will not say of any one nation what I will not say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost tite. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and innate inferiority. It is an utter impossibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased the hardship and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have learned long the advice of other tracerous leadership that resistance is wrong, that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. We have followed this "advice" faithfully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-marriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women defenseless and at the mercy of white defenseless and at the mercy of white children, school, jimcrow schools, confiscation, exclude further Negro immigration. "There are the evils resulting from non-resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress offers legislation degrading and inimical to our well being. Race prejudice therefore, can only be worn down by attack. We must send our children, and go home to institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. THE DEMISE OF THE SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS. (Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.): "A dispassionate review of the work of the Sixty-third congress brings little to congratulate the people of the United States upon and much to condemn that body for. Its sins of omission and commission were many; its works, in advancement of the inter-cession of the people and of the nation, few and far less, into existence upon the summit of the work of progressive reform; given power upon promises plainly and definitely expressed, it demonstrated incapacity from the beginning and deliberately repudiated in numerous instances policies and principles it was elected to promote and maintain. It produced a tariff law that fails to secure the revenues needed for sound administration of the affairs, and it enacted a levy for taxes on the profound peace. Need we go farther, this as an evidence of its weakness, incapacity and failure to grasp the requirements of the republic?" No, unless you would call the attention of the country to the mistreatments of the loyal old soldiers and Afro-Americans in the departments at Washington, D. C., and elsewhere in the federal service, at home and abroad and the patronizing, in every way of the visitors, ex-Confederates, by the Wizard of Oz administration which of course, includes the northern Democratic Siket-third congress.

BLUE 45 GRAY 25 The blue team is running far ahead of the gray team this week, in the race for members for the Athletic Association. Much of this team's success is due to the hard work of its Captain and Mr. J. H. Sherwood these two men having brought in over 50% of the naid un members up to date. On Monday evening Mr. C. Patterson of the St. Paul Athletic Club will address the Association at Bowley Hall. Mr. Patterson stands high among the civic and commercial bodies in the city, and I am sure that he will have something interesting to say to the Association. With such men as Mr. Patterson interested in our Association marked the success. The fight is only just begun, and we ask the co-operation of all our fellow men to help carry it to a finish. H. R.

SOLOMON RUSSELL, Manager. The Afro-American Athletic Association. The Blues and the Grays are running about neck and neck this week. The Barkles claim that the Golnes will have to keep moving if they want to win this race. The Blues turned in 14 more new members this week, while the Grays turned in 9. The first official report of each team will be having next Saturday. The team having the next six members of members by that time will be represented at the Boosters' benefit entertainment, by very one present wearing its color on that night. As all the money that is taken in now for membership is placed in the bank until the Association building is open, it becomes necessary for the Athletic Association to raise a fund for promotion purposes. A number of the wives and lady friends of the members of the Association have formed a Boosters' Club and are working with the entertainment committee on a benefit which is to be given on the 19th of this month. Never before has so much interest been taken in a movement among our people as it is now in the Athletic Association. No doubt we have begun to realize what our duties are to ourselves and fellowmen. May this spirit of friendliness continue and may we all co-operate with each other in trying to uplift the race. WHERE THERE IS UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. H. R. Crawford. Gen. Sec.

Her words are true. Men cheat their employees out of what is their highest due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose as "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. Instead of being great philanthropists, these men, in many cases, are simply thieves who really ought to be in prison for having robbed their fellow men. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich thieves than the colored people and their nefarious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mendicants and have begged for money to organize jimcrow events to prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens. The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, servile sycophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice.

J. L. MURCHISON, CHIEF DIVER 215 Gravier St. NEW ORLEANS, LA Professor Charles Frederick Chandler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent address he said; "Bee is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and yeast. Beer is food. American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cereals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and readily digested food. Both contain alcohol. Beer is not intoxicating in the ordinary quantities and beer is one of the food that free from bacteria. It is appetizing and data digestion. I don't believe there is any beer made in the United States that is what you call adulterated. It may be misbranded, but not adulterated. If the prohibitionists drive beer from the household they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food."
