NO. 23 ITALY'S AIR FLEET THIRD IN WORLD TWO TYPES ARE EMPLOYED One Is Rigid and the Other Semirigid, and Good Results Have Been Obtained From Both—Proved Their Worth During Italo-Turkish War—Machine Guns on Land Squadron. Rome—Italy's air force ranks third numerically—right after Germany and France. Two successful types of airships have been evolved—the Brigant Specialist1 (nonrigid) and the Fortunani (semirigid) types. Captain Crocco and Ricaldoni, having achieved fame in aerodynamic research work, were assigned to develop the first Italian military dirigible in 1904. Its trial in 1908 was satisfactory. The type was improved into the P class of Italian dirigibles. The P-1, in 1909, flew from Bracciano to Naples, a three hour trip. The P-2 the next THE MUSIC BOARD ITALIAN DEVICE USED TO SIGNAL AND DIRECT MOVEMENTS OF AIR CRAFT. year flow from Rome to Venice, crossing the Apennines. The construction of a fleet of dirigibles was decided upon in 1911. Three types were constructed—the small type (P class), a medium (M class) and a large (G class), ranging from 2,500 cubic meters capacity to more than 20,000 cubic meters. When the Italo-Turkish war began several Is and an M were shipped to Libya. They proved of great value in the major operations in Africa. Enrico Formentini, Leonardo di Vinci having proved a successful example of the semirigid airship, the citizens of Milan bought a ship from him and presented it to the government, calling it the Citta di Milano. in 1913. Another Formentini type has been added to the fleet. The most recent additions have been a 40,000 cubic meter Brigata Specialtall, called the G-1, and a speedy V-1, built by the same establishment after plans by an aerial engineer named Verduzo. The craft can make ninety kilometers an hour. Eleven dirigible shears are scattered over Italy. The aircraft in the Libya victory, consists of fifteen machines and two gee squadrons, each of ten machines, seven active and three in reserve. The personnel consist of ten pilots, officers and noncommissioned officers and fifty enlisted men (mechanics). The land squadrons are made up of armed scouts with machine guns and gun spotters. Sixty fast monoplane "spotters" recently were delivered to the army. Many powerful armored "bombardiers" are under construction. The new Caproni bombardier plane is a biplane, armored and carrying a one firing fire gun in front. It can make several shots an hour and can stay on twenty-five hours. Only four types of machines are used in the Italian service, although many older types are used in the aviation schools. The four are the national Caprini, the Savioia-Farman, the Silt-Briot and Nieuport-Macchi. The larger airships of the Italian fleet are as follows: Capricity Speed Name. Date. Type. Length. cu m. km.

Fracture of Jaw In Ball Game Brought Bailey to Himself. Toronto, Out.-Purley Douglas Bailey, son of Professor George Bailey of Cazenovia, N. Y., who while suffering from lapse of memory enlisted in the Royal Canadian dragonous here on March 11 last under another name, has recovered his memory. He walked into police headquarters and was so affected by what he heard of the efforts made to find him that he had to be sent to the hospital barracks. Bailey, who is a graduate of Syracuse university, received a shock from lightning and fell forty feet while engaged in tree surgery in Denver. He disappeared on his way to see a Syracuse physician. Partial recovery from the shock resulted from the shock of a fractured jaw received in a baseball game at the barracks several weeks ago. He has no recollection of having enlisted and it is said will be discharged. OUT EMPTY, BACK FULL Bottle Dropped in Nile Game Back Full of Rye. Virginia, Minn.—A. B. Coates, a well known mining man, got a surprise in the express the other day. It was a bottle of whisky from a Kentucky distillery that he had not ordered. The old thing about the gift was the idea that Mr. Coates emptied with a party of friends while steaming down the river Nile, in Africa, about a year ago and threw into the murky stream. In the bottle he had placed a slip of paper bearing his name and address. Some one found the bottle and forwarded it to the distillery, where it was sent to Mr. Coates with the liquor fancier's own original bottle was presented to Mr. Coates by a local friend when he started on his African trip. Coeducation Is Urged as the More Desirable Course. Pittsburgh. — Separate colleges for women in the United States should be abolished and coeducation substituted, according to Professors Roswell Johnson and Bertha J. Stutzmann of the University of Pittsburgh. This conclusion is based on the charge that women's colleges contribute largely to race suicide among the best elements of the American population. In support of this contention the records of Wellesley college have been analyzed and the results published in the Journal of Heredity, the organ of the American Genetic association of this city. The investigators found that twenty years after graduation fewer than one-half of the girls have married. These have borne only one and one-half children each. Taking all the students into account and allowing enough time to elapse so that it is probable they will bear no more children, the investigators next found that the Wellesley girls contribute less than one child each to the race—that is, they do not, even reproduce their own number. And the honor students, who from an eugenic point of view are assumed to be the pick of the lot, do only about a third as well and so. To maintain a stationary population the writers say that every married woman should bear four children. From this point of view they believe that the women's colleges are hastening the extinction of the old American stock. The colleges are blamed for failure to give girls an opportunity to meet young men and for failure to make them destruous or competent to be wives and mothers. It is shown statistically that women are considerably better, and it is remarked that at Wellesley the students are forbidden to receive men callers on Sunday, their only free day. Viewed as to marriageability, the investigators consider a woman most attractive during her college years, and the importance that young men should be allowed to meet her in that period. NO BOOZE TO INDIANS. California Law Forbids Sale to Any of Them. Sacramento, Cal.—It is made illegal to sell intoxicating liquors to "squaw men" or any one who lives or associates with Indians and to any person of part Indian blood under a bill by Assemblyman Phelps just signed by Governor Johnson. The bill aims to end an asserted practice of white persons purchasing liquor to carry into the camps and villages of Indians in the remote mountain districts. Invents Eyeless Needle. Pierpoint, S. D.-Dr. F. W. Murphy and Frank Johnson of this city have invented an eyeless needle for use by surgeons. All of the surgeons who have tried this new invention declare it to be the greatest thing in its line. In place of the thread being run through the eye, thereby causing irritation to the wound while it is being sewed up, this needle is so arranged that the thread is fastened in the butt and is held in place by a secretly constructed spring appliance. THE APPEAL. PLEADS FOR DRUG FIEND. Mother Asks Dispensation In Case of Sixty-year-old Victim. Washington—Pleading for her sixty-year-old "boy," who she says, will die if he is not permitted to obtain the drugs denied him by the Harrison ant-drug bill, an eighty-one-year-old Colorado woman has written a pitiful letter to Dr. B. R. Reese of the internal revenue department of the treasury department. She addressed her letter to President Wilson, but Secretary Tumulty sent it to Dr. Reese, whose office is the clearing house of such correspondence. Much as the appeal of the old Colorado woman moved the officials, no exception will be made in that case. There is no intention on the part of the internal revenue division to issue blanket permits to obtain drugs for individual cases. PAYS AN OLD DEBT. Tennessee Farmer Sends Check For $3.50 Bought In 1886. $3.50 Plow Bought in 1896. Little Rock, Ark.-In 1896 J. Milton Williams, a Tennessee farmer, bought a plow from H. S. Speck, a hardware dealer at Morristown, Tenn., on credit. Recently Mr. Speck, who long ago left us, and is now a resident of Little Rock, Ark., bought a plow for $3.50, the price of the plow. The plow is accompanying the check read as follow: "Dear Sir-You remember some years ago I bought of you a turning plow. I have always intended to pay the debt, but it seemed that I had so many things on me that I had to put what little money I could get into other places. I hope you will pardon me for keeping you out of your money for so long. I trust you are well and prosperous." BRAVE FRENCH AIR MAN CAN FIGHT NO MORE Capture of Roland Garros Big Loss to Allies' Aerial Fleet. Paris.—When Roland G. Garros, the daring French aviator, was captured by the Germans one of the most picturesque careers of the war came to a halt. The lieutenant had proved himself to be the most brilliant and daring air man in any army. Lieutenant Garros is well known in the United States, having flown in Photo by American Press Association. ROLAND GARROS many competitions in that country. One of his latest exploits was at Dunkirk, when he shot dead in the air the aviator and the observer of a German aeroplane. He went out against this machine alone, and as his machine was the faster he was able to gain an advantageous position, from which he fired with fatal precision. Garros was born of French parents at Cape Town, South Africa, in 1885. He is a graduate of the University of Paris and of its law school and for a time practiced his profession in the French capital. The exploits of Garros have made him a prominent figure in aviation throughout the world. He has appeared in meets in Richmond, Chattanooga, Memphis, New Orleans, Dallas, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Waco, Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, Mexico City, Vera Cruz, Havana and New York and holds a number of speed prizes and museum manitions held in many European cities. On December 11, 1912, Garros ascended to a height of 19,032 feet and established a world's attitude mark. On his flight from Tuens to Sicily in December, 1912 he traveled for a distance of 160 miles entirely over water. When he flew across the Mediterranean from St Raphael to BIZERTA he traveled 555 miles in 7 hours and 53 minutes. 527 DAYS FOR BOOZING. The Court Also Rubs In a Fine of $200. Must "Stay Staber" Sandusky, Q...James Smith, thirty-five, was brought to the county jail here from Castalia to serve 527 days for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. Justice Charles Canfield, before whom he entered a plea of guilt, gave him six months after assessing a fine of $200 and costs. Canfield in passing sentence told Smith he was determined to have him stay sober for awhile. Commission Will Have Provided Foodstuffs to the Value of $65,000,000 by Middle of August—Profit Made in Cheap Bread—Belgians Have Done a Lot of Work Themselves. London.—The American commission for relief in Belgium will have provided foodstuffs to the value of about $65,000,000 for the Belgian people by the middle of August. Charitable contributions from America will have amounted to about $5,000,000 and from other quarters of the world approximately the same total. The great bulk of the food supplies, representing the remaining $55,000,000, is being provided indirectly by the Belgian people themselves. This is made possible by the elaborate financial machinery set up by the commission, enabling the Belgians to utilize their own energies and resources. Fully 75 per cent of the Belgian people are being supplied with food by the commission without recourse to charity. One result of the commission's operations is that bread is now cheaper in Belgium than in London. When the commission was formed in October, under the charismachair of Robert Clark Hoover, it was estimated that the total imports required to keep the total of Belgium alive would amount to about $50,000,000 before the next harvest. The rise in the price of foodstuffs increased the necessary amount to $65,000,000. The greatest problem in this connection was involved in the fact that foodstuffs sold in Belgium to those who still had resources were paid for in paper. The entire metallic currency disappeared early in the war, and national bank notes were so scarce that many communes were printing paper issues of their own. This issue of currency had no value outside of Belgium, and in any event to have exported it would have denuded the country of currency. But unless this money were turned into gold it would be necessary for the commission to find in the outside world an amount of money which was out of the question. At the outset, therefore, the commission began to devise a method for effecting the exchange of these monetary obligations into gold. Negotiation with the belligerent governments for permission to set up a form of exchange whereby persons or institutions abroad owing money in Belgium should turn over to the commission the amount due in sterling or dollars. The commission undertook to pay their debts for them in Belgium out of paper money which it received from the sale of foodstuffs. The belligerent nations agreed to this after long negotiations, and there was a compromise. The commission is today the only institution which is doing a systematic banking business across enemy lines. By degrees the commission has extended this exchange department of its organization, which has come to be the lifeblood of the structure. It has induced many well to do Belgians to pledge their credit for money handed over to the commission in gold, which in turn is paid to them in Belgium in paper. The commission also has advanced money to the communal governments, taking their obligations therefor, and by pledging these obligations abroad has obtained further resources. The communes have been enforced as a manner to procure money to pay commissions to maintain the schools and keep up works, thus enabling the Belgians to carry on the details of civil government and saving the country from the danger of anarchic conditions. One phase of these operations arose in connection with a number of Belgian concerns, which, while they had resources abroad, had exhausted their local resources in payment of workmen or in disbursements to depositors. A form of hardship had grown up through the inability of such concerns to make good their obligations to the public, and persons who had believed themselves well to do were being forced to the bread lines through inability to draw money due them. Through the operations of the commission these concerns were enabled to be lived in London and New York funds they possessed abroad, and the commission in turn delivered paper money received from the sale of food. Thus the cycle of credit was reestablished, and many thousands of persons were saved from the bread line. Before this machinery was set up practically the whole population was dependent on the world's charity, paper money being of no avail. The initial appeals of the commission, therefore, were made on behalf of the 7,000,000 of people. With the success of these financial efforts, however, all of the people still able to pay for their food were made self dependent, and the appeals of the commission for charitable contributions were reduced to those made on behalf of the absolutely destitute Defective Page OY$TER FARMING SUCCESSFUL Remarkable Returns From First Practical Experiment In Louisiana. New Orleans. — Remarkable returns have resulted from the first practical "oyster farming" experiment the Louisiana state conservation commission has undertaken in making use of the heretofore unused water bottoms of the state. Sample shells from the bottom of silver lake, in Terrebonne parish, have arrived at the office of the conservation commission, and, although planted nine months ago, clusters of oysters, some of them of marketable size, from eight to fourteen in number, were growing on each. These shells were the old or "shucked" shells that were planted on the bottom of Sister lake, or Lake Callan, as it is sometimes called, to provide "clutch" for the young oyster or spat. This lake, having a water bottom of 800 acres, has the proper salinity of water for the growing of oysters, but lacked the necessary hard bottom or other solids for the oyster "spat" to attach itself and therefore prohibited any experiment in the growing of the bivalves. Last year it was decided to sow the bottom of the lake with the old oyster shells, and on May 8, 1914, the commission distributed 10,488 barrels of old shells over the lake's bottom. Results were at once apparent, for by June 5 it was found that "spat" from the seed poured in the lake had attached and were at a mature worked of development. Inspector J. Labit worked under the direction of Frank T. Payne. The investigations showed that the oysters were growing at a rapid rate. In March, or nine months after the "clutch" was planted, the inspectors tonged up clusters from various parts of the lake and sent these to the compass. The oysters were remarkably rich in flavor and of the prized salty taste. Harlem, Mont.—Dr. Carl E.

DR. CARL E. FOSS. hour before she was struck a German submarine and that the speed of the Lustiana, which he estimates was not more than about fifteen knots, was not increased. A few minutes later, the doctor says, the ship altered her course, which indicated to him that the ship's officers also had sighted the peril. In relating the story of his experiences Dr. Foss said he wished to preface it with the remark that he "heartily condemned the policy of a steamship line saving fuel at the expense of the crew," and Captain Turner of the Lustiana had been going at full speed or more than twenty-five knots she would not have been torpedoed. Dr. Foss ensured the conduct of some stewards, stokers and other members of the crew, but praised the men passengers for their attention to women and children. He noted a large number of the crew rushing up on deck and equipping themselves with life preservers, which they pulled out of big chests on deck. They made no effort, the doctor says, to assist the women and children to find life belts. After Dr. Foss had gone below, feeling confident that the ship's compass marine that the doctor himself had misunderstood that everything would be done to elude danger, the torpedo hit the ship forward. Licenses for Frog Shooters. Franklyn, Ky.-Hereafter frog hunters in Simpson county will be required to take out a license, provided they operate with a gun. County Judge Hatter construes the game law to include frog shooting, and the county game warden has instructed all frog hunters to secure a license before shooting bull-frogs.

SQUIRRELS DIG UP FOSSILS. Little Diggers Reveal Ancient Indian Graveyard. Santa Monica, Cal.—A peculiar discovery has been made of a fossil boulder up the coast at the mouth of Topanga canyon. Some years ago a man living there unearthed some excellent specimens of fossils and supposed Indian bones. Recently a large heap of black dirt was noticed at the edge of the beach, and upon investigation it proved to be the burrow of a family of squirrels. The little diggers had piled up on the surface of the sandy soil perhaps 250 pounds of black sand; in which were arm bones, shells, fossils and bits of human bone. There were even rocks weighing close to two pounds. The dirt was just as it had been dumped by the animals, and bones and fossils were mixed together with the rocks and sand. The bones have been identified as those of human beings, several specimens showing conclusively that they at one time had constituted the framework of a stalwart Indian brave. Theories have been advanced by men interested in osteology, but no definite conclusions have been reached. They think that bones are those of Indians, but that they are many years old. The squirrels must have burrowed many feet, or else the beach in the years past was nearer to the mountains than it is at present. That is natural, for the change is made by the yearly washing of quantities of sand and rocks from the interior down to the mouth of the canyon. The old burying ground is now probable, and the seabed is covered, and only the busy little ground squirrel know the exact location of the rest of the bones. Was Once a Beautiful City, but Has Gone to Decay. Washington.—"The city of Gallipol, toward which the allied forces are fighting, guards the neck of the Gallipol peninsula, where the peninsula joins the mainland, near the elbow formed by the Dardanelles strait and the Sea of Marmora," begins a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. The description of this key position to the best protected of all of the world's water avenues, a position to which the interest of all the nations is associated with much questioning, continues. "Gallipol is the last bar that locks the Dardanelles, and secures Marmora sea as a Turkish lake. It is a powerfully fortified city, its defensive works have been begun in modern style in 1875, when the Russians threatened to take possession of Constantinople. The work of strengthening this port has been carried on at irregular intervals since. When the Bulgarians were attacking the lines at Chatkalia, the Turks, who felt that they might expect an endeavor to turn their flanks by way of Gallipol and Marmora sea, worked feverishly upon the port's report. Gallipol is not comparable in strength to Gallipol in Europe, it, noteworthy, with its modern batteries and extensive outworks, forms a proper conclusion to the mightily fortified water lane leading down to the Aegean sea. "This city beautiful" of the Greeks (Kallipolis) was the first point in Europe to be won and maintained by the Ottoman hordes. It is today anything but a beautiful city. Its streets are narrow, immethodical and dirty, most of its houses are overworn wooden structures, in which decay and untiness mix to an unpleasing picture. There are few buildings of any architectural interest, though the great leader domed bazaars appeal to the imagination of the westerner. Some few and uncared for relics of eastern empire and Grecian times have been left to normal decay by the Turks. "Until Turkish occupation and the putting into effect of the suspicious, intolerant and shortsighted policies of exclusion and exclusiveness of the orient Gallipoli seemed destined, as a well placed port upon one of nature's treasures of water trade, to become one of the most of all the commercial cities of the world. Through the centuries of Turkish rule it has slept an almost dreamless sleep. Today, with a population of 25,000, with few ambitions and little understanding of its advantages, it has, however, under the Young Turk regime, given some evidence of a reawakening."

ENVOYS BUSY IN WARRING NATIONS United States Is Now Clearing House For Diplomacy. LARGER STAFFS ARE NEEDED Entrance of Italy Imposes Huge New Burden on All Our Embassies—Belligerents Presumed to Pay the Cost, but Suggestion Is Made That We Do It. Washington. With Italy in the war, the United States comes near to being the diplomatic clearing house of the whole world. If the United States should go into the war the diplomacy of the world would be near the point of blowing up. Austrian diplomatic and consular affairs have been turned over in Italy to the American officials. This will be one more big burden shouldered off on the overworked American agents in several countries. Already Americans are handling these affairs for warring powers all around the world. The addition of the complicated concerns of Germany, Italy and Austria will necessitate special provision of more personnel and further drafts on this country's resources of people trained for this kind of service. Until now Italy and the United States have been the only first class power in the air. In ordinary circumstances the militias have been asked to divide with the Americans the duty of playing first friend to the warring nations. But in the present instance it was impossible because Italy was nominal- 1. GERARD, BERLIN; 2. T. N. PAGE, BOME; 3. PENFIELD, VILNNA; 4. SHAIR, PARIS; 5. MONGRITH, U. CONSTANTINOPLE; 6. W. H. PAGE, LONDON. Photos by American Press Association. ly the ally of Austria and Germany. If she had followed her arrangement with them she would have gone into the war on their side. It was from the very beginning apparent that she would not do that. Both sides were exerting every influence to enlist her, and it was therefore inexpedient for either belligerent to intrust its diplomatic concerns to her. Thus the United States from the beginning was indicated as the central office of diplomacy. It would be well high impossible to catalogue the reasons that fall to the diplomatic agents of the mutually friendly power which takes over this set of relations when war breaks out. In England, for instance, there was a large population of Germans and Austrians. Some were naturalized; some were not. Many of both classes were property owners. Some were anxious to get out of the country; others were just as anxious that they should not be forced out of it. American agents had to look after their interests. When the war got fairly under way camps for prisoners of war began to be established in all the warring countries. Complaints came from these, and American diplomats had to look after the interests of British and French and German soldiers. And Austria and vice versa. Commissions have been sent to supplement the efforts of the regular diplomatic establishment in this regard. Not the least difficult services required of the American consuls and diplomats have been in connection with the colonial intermests of belligerents. Thus there have been established in India, in Canada and in Australia special camps for things of citizens of enemy countries. Many hundreds of men are held in the big internment establishments, while their families have required attention elsewhere because they have not been formally interned, but left largely to shift for themselves. These cases have created a set of problems, not new to diplomacy, but never so large as in the present war. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

The personal property assessment for 1915, of Julius Rosenwald, the so-called philanthropist of Chicago, will be fixed at $3,000,000 by the board of assessors, according to the announcement made recently by David M. Pfaelzer, a member of that board. "His assessment has been estimated at $2,000,000 and a penalty of $1,000,000 has been made," announced the assessor. "We will fight such an assessment to a finish," came the comment from the state attorney's office, which caused the indictment, later quashed, in Mr. Rosenwald's case for failure to schedule. "He paid taxes on more than $3,000,000 last year, and our contention is that he owns personal property of which the value is closer to $25,000,000." stated Irwin K. Walker, assistant state's attorney, assigned to the tax investigation. It appears that Rosenwald is not paying what he ought to pay. His profits, from a stock dividend alone last year, were more than $11,000,000. Although Rosenwald is a Jew and he knows that his people have suffered through centuries of segregation, he gives great sums of money to build jimcrow Y. M. C. A.'s and other institutions which have for their object the segregation of American citizens. Could money be put to a baser use? "LOOK FOR THE MAN." The press dispatches tell us that "Stella Frank, 18, a beautiful colored woman of Thibodeau, La., was shot and instantly killed by Eva J. Thibodeaux, 24, prominent throughout Louisiana, who afterward cut her own throat. Believed Miss Thibodeaux will die. Shooting caused sensation in social circles. Motive unknown." THE APPEAL believes that it can unravel the mystery. The French say, "Cherchez la femme," but in this case we must look for the man.

It was one of those tragedies which so frequently occur in the South, when the Caucasian in the case turns from his own group to make love to some beautiful colored woman. Perhaps the man really loved Stella Frank and would have married her, but Louisiana has made Christian marriage a crime. The man had two sweethearts. He neglected the white one and devoted his time to the colored one; the white sweetheart became insanely jealous and killed her. That's all. THE BISHOP'S OPPORTUNITY. Some of the unthinking editors are urging Bishop Alexander Walters of the A. M. E. Z. Church to become a candidate for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. We trust the bishop will not fall for their flattery and place himself before the country as asseeker of political office. To do so would be a disgrace to himself, his family, his church and the people with whom he is identified. It would also be dishonorable, because he has recommended other men for the place and it would be difficult to convince the people that there had not been duplicity in handling the matter. To even become a candidate for the place would lessen his influence with the Wilson administration and he would also forfeit the respect of the people of the country and if he succeeded in getting the place he would be a a "dead one" so far as influence with the president is concerned. The office of Recorder of Deeds and two or three other places would really be of little value at present. What the colored people need now is JUSTICE. A thousand appointments would not pay for what has been lost by the Democratic policy of segregation. If Bishop Walters is a real man with a back bone, now is the time to prove it. Let him spurn the offer of the political place and tell President Wilson plainty that the colored people can not be caught by any such chaff. THEY WISH JUSTICE, NOT OFFICES. A PAPER WITH A SOUL. A thing can not be judged by its size. This is especially true of the spiritual. Some of the most famous men and women known to history were those whose great souls were encased in fragile bodies. Among our exchanges are several papers which are filled with TYPE, but in spite of their excellent news service, splendid "make up," and vain boastings, they are as painted sepulchres. Something is lacking. They print columns of news (?) but condone wrong. Another paper, a modest little five column folio, often poorly printed comes to the editor. Every week it strikes strong blows for justice and right. It prints powerful editorials, many veritable gems, not only against those who oppress, but also against the contemptible curs within, who kiss the hands which smite. The little paper is the Pioneer-Press of Martinsburg, W. Va.,—a newspaper with a soul. "WHY AMERICANS FAIL." It is a notorious fact that in spite of Pan-American congresses, long-winded editorials in American newspapers, etcetera, the United States is far behind Germany, Great Britain, France and Spain so far as trade in Latin-America is concerned.

A book by A. Wyatt Verrill on "South and Central American Trade Conditions of Today," recently issued by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, has this to say under the heading, "Why Americans Fall:" "Race or religious prejudice, condescension, discourtesy or bluff have no place in Spanish America. The Latin-American is a gentleman first, last and all the time. He has never acquired our habit of being a gentleman in private life and a boor in business and he expects others to be as courteous as himself and if they are not he judges them accordingly. He may be white, brown, yellow or black, but he remembers that one of his ancestors was probably a plumed grandee of Old Spain. You may scoff at his ideas, you may laugh at his faith, you may curse at the "lazy Greasers," and through it all he may smile, treat you with respect and politeness and greet you with expressions of the greatest pleasure, but in his heart he despises you for an ill-bred "Yankee pig" and thanks God that he is of Spanish blood. On the other hand treat the Latin-American with courtesy, praise the buildings and industry of his town, admire his beautiful women, visit his places of interest, and speak his language and you may command respect, admiration and true friendship and every entertainment and comfort will be yours." THE APEAL has printed a number of editorials along this line showing that Americans have lost millions of dollars through their jimcrow methods and it is a great satisfaction to have this view upheld by a great authority thoroughly familiar with conditions. Race prejudice is an expensive proposition for those who indulge in CENSUS SEGREGATION. "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. It is wrong, unjust and un-American for the government to segregate its clerks by color in the Departments in Washington, and it is also wrong, unjust and un-American for the government to issue a separate and inaccurate Census Bulletin as it has done in the case of the bulletin, "Negroes in the United States." One instance of the inaccuracy is the statement that it is the work of "Negro clerks." The editor of THE APPEAL has known two of the clerks mentioned for many years and is well aware of the excellent records they had made before the census segregation scheme was evolved. These two gentlemen are mixed bloods, one being a blonde, at least three-fourths white. He should not be called a "Negro" because he is not a "Negro," but a colored man. Call him a colored man if it is absolutely necessary to call attention to the fact, but it would be better for the country and for all the people if he and all other people were called Americans. That's the correct name for all persons born in the United States. 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 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 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 "Négro" 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. It is an infamous thing for the government of this great republic to draw the color line in any way. In a republic every citizen should have exactly the same status so far as the government is concerned. 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. RACE PREJUDICE. (From Our Dumb Animals, Boston, Mass.) This magazine has stood, from the day of its inception, for justice and fair play. It has by no means confined its interest to animals. Men, women, children, the victims of greed, oppression, injustice, prejudice, have found on its pages an outspoken championship. It has asked of no man the color of its skin, nor of any man the shibboleth of his sect. It has never been able to understand how anything but a man's inner spirit could be the measure of his manhood, or anything but the fruit of his creed the test of his religion. It would therefore be untrue to itself if it failed to denounce the attempt that has been made here in Boston to humiliate and villify the colored American citizen. This is what the photo-play known as "The Birth of a Nation" does. Not only does it falsify history to suit its own purpose, representing the Ku Klux Klan as a body of chivalrous knights, bearing the cross as their holy standard, like the crusaders of old; not only does it falsify the character of the colored man of war times and imply that he is still unfit for citizenship in an enlightened republic, and present him in guises that excite hostility against him, but it appears to have been most skilfully and deliberately planned to arouse and widen in the North that prejudice against the colored man that has characterized the worst elements of the South. It holds up for hissing and hate a mulatto on the ground that he wants to marry a white girl, but sweeps the audience on without time for anyone to remember that that very mulatto face is the undeniable witness to the fact that some white man outraged his colored mother. At a day when all Europe is a battle-field where race prejudice is reaping the whirlwind of its own sowing, and when we all must realize how easily that spirit may be kindled here, to permit the continuance of this exhibition in Boston, the home of Garrison and Phillips and Sumner, is a reproach to our city. It is devoutly hoped that the attempt being made to stop it by some legislative act will have been successful ere these words are read. We are perfectly sure that no other race of our citizens would ever have endured the insults, the wrongs, the lynchings, the robberies of rights guaranteed under the constitution without seeking by some other than legal methods those rights the appeal to law has seemed impotent to secure. "CHRISTIAN UNITY PERILED." Dr. John R. Mott, general secretary for foreign work of the Y. M. C. A. is fearful that "Christian unity" whatever that is, will be perilled by the present war. In a recent address at Los Angeles, he said: "Christian unity will be maimed hopelessly by this great war. In every country taking part in the great conflict I heard it called a "holy war" Christianity will be affected for at least two generations and the Y. M. C. A. and similar bodies in America must lead in the redemption." The Christianity of every country in Europe is superior to the Christianity (?) of the Y. M. C. A. in America, the principal mission of which seem to be to mock Christ by drawing the color line and Dr. Mott will only make a bad condition worse if he continues to try to introduce the American brand of Christianity into Europe. Every style of outrage which has been perpetrated in Europe was first enacted by American Christians in the United States. If Europe is to be redeemed by American Y. M. C. A Christianity, God help it! Shun Them Like Vipers. (From the Martinsburg Pioneer-Press) Just as long as the negro believes "he has a place," and is constantly jerking off his hat when out of it, he will be the cause of many others enduring hardships forever and aye. As long as a certain class of whites take to this class of sycophants, the more rigidly those who wear their sovereignty under their own hats, should denounce, discard and shun them as they would a viper. THE NEW ABOLITION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908. After several conferences it was organized and permanent headquarters opened in November 1910. The prosecution of the riots has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 35,000. The platform of the association is brood but uncompromising. The official contains among other thinks the following strong statement and demands: "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the full enjoyment of their rights as citizens, justice in all courts and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or prerogative, class or caste. It recognizes the national character of the race problem and no sectionalism. It believes in the upholding of the constitution" United States and its amendments, in Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine 'all men up and no man down'. It abhors Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, most of all, the crimes committed by mobs in the mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to peace and social content. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity. It has no other desire than for the advance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W, E. W, B. DuBois: "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with a half loaf or by being willing to tull our friends into a false sense of our indifference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equality—political equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything less. He demands this in no spirit of braggadocio and with no obsequious envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker race their ultimate survival on earth. The real people must have industrial freedom to benefit the peoplenge of the rural south, the oppressed of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the colored laborer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toil for less money than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. "In social intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and the so called Church of Christ down to saloons and bootblacks to segregate, strangle and spiritually starve the colored man so as to him the beast possible chance to know and to prove him." The colored man must have power—the power of men, the right to do, to know, to feel and to express that knowledge, action and spiritual gift. He must not simply be free from the political tyranny of white folk; he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent of his proved foresight and ability. He must have a voice in the new industrial democracy which is building the power to see it that his children can see it that it has been trained to be the mud sills of society. He must have the right to social intercourse with his fellows. "There was a time in the atomic individualistic group when "social intercourse" meant merely calls and tea parties; today social intercourse means theaters, lectures, organizations, clubs, churches, excursions, travel, hotels—it means, in short, life. To bar a group from methods of thinking, lying and doing, is to bar them from the world. It is to create a new world—it is to crucify them and taunt them with not being able to live." Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-operation; second, a revival of art and literature; third, political action; fourth, education; fifth, organization. "For the accomplishment of all those ends we must organize. Organization must already happen, but it must go much further and higher. Organization is sacrifice. It is sacrifice of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of gifts—freedom and efficiency. I thank God that most of the money that supports this association comes from colored hands. A still larger proportion of our money only support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwaveringly to our objects, our alms and our ideals. "With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with more progress so long as we fall so far short of a reasonable accomplishment of our desires. Remember that we are desplaced today by millions of people not because we suffer, but because we suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race it could happen on God's green earth that one of its great enemies here in New York, before assembled thousands could regenerate his people because only fifty-colored men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and burned by mobs. If that can give 10,000,000 people satisfaction, in God's name what will it take to make them fight? "As for me and those that think with me, so long as one black man in the United States is illegally punished or unjustly treated or has the door of opportunity closed in his face we will protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends. We may not in our days realize our ideals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just, but it is a program of peace and patience, and in laying it down I face the awful fact that in this as in all great causes, if peace and patience cannot .win, then war and struggle must. In any case there can be no despair, there can be no surrender, there can be no defeat as long as a colored man draws a breath in America." 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 arm after receiving medical treatment he could continue his journey. Mason degrades that he had never before seen a train and that he thought the thing was some sort of "huge varnint."

OLD MERCHANTS BANK BUILDING. Fifth and Jackson Sts.. Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Montreal Bladder Cancer 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 fortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor in the present to bring about both a physical and psychological 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 inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for the noble or uplifting. Most high-grade men repudiate it. b. In Africa and other countries it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofly," 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 sweetheart, you favor the use of the masculine term. 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 thought 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 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 sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are oblivious of; they know qualities which are sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the class were by observation merely could know individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the "HUMAN NATURE" My ear is My soul is sick with evo Of wrong and outrage, w There is no flesh in man' It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is severe That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guilt Not colored like his own To enforce the wrong, for Dooms and devotes him Thus man devotes his br 'Tis human nature's bro My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.

That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost trite. 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 hardship and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have had too long the advice from false and 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 and loss of legislation, the blackest pieces of legislation, that it leaves our women defenseless at the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, jimcrow cars, and even legislature to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of effronty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same effronty and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress of fers legislation degrading and animalizes our well being. Race prejudice, therefore, can only be worn down by attrition. We must send our children, and get ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. NEW BUSINESS OPENED Mr. Frederick D. McCracken Goes into Business With a Favorable Outlook. Mr. Frederick D. McCracken, who for fifteen years was the popular and efficient private secretary to Congressman F. C. Stevens, has yielded to the pressure of his many friends to remain in St. Paul and engage in business. He has opened an office in the Old Merchants Bank Building, corner and Jackson Sts., and is dealing in estate, mortgage loans, rentals and general estate. Mr. McCracken's long and faithful friend with Mr. Stevens has given him a high ranking among the business interests of the city which affords him ample facilities in his line of business. His high standard of integrity, honesty and efficiency and his long and practical training with Congressman Stevens assures us that his business will be of a high order. On account of his dedication to his people he will unquestionably be able to render valuable service to the city of obtaining decent houses without any imposed upon by real estate deals in our city. He seems to be the right man in the right place and THE APPEAL, with many others, wish for him the best of success in his venture. Right You Are. [From the Amsterdam News.] Young man! Young woman!

A lot of hard work is being done by the membership committee in its efforts to bring the membership up to the 500 mark. The Gray team is planning a seven days campaign in the resident district. A house to house canvass will be made to make sure that no one escape their net. Rev E. H. McDonald, former pastor Pilgrim Baptist church, Cedar st. and Summit ave., will not receive $312.25 worth of flowers. Judge W. L. Kelly so ruled Thursday. McDonald umpired the church for $300 salary, and interest, alleging that he was dismissed last May without three months' notice. Judge Kelly decides that evidence at the trial shows that three months' notice was given, hence the verdict of the jury is set aside.

Defective Page A very interesting meeting of the Self Culture Club was held Wednesday with Mrs. Quitman Hicks, 463 Thomas street. Preparations were completed for entertaining the State federation and the following delegates we elected to represent the club at the meeting: Mesdames B. R. Durant, James Wilson Jr., and B. N. Murrell, Mrs. Murrell also represent the club on the program. After adjournment refreshments were served by the hostess. Last Sunday morning at St. James A. M. E. Church, memorial services were held by Biddle Circle L. G. A. R. There was a fair representation of the order present. The decorations which were the work of Mr. B. C. Archer and quite beautiful. There were two decorated chairs for Comrades Mrs. Theodiosa Charleston and Mr. John Jenkins, who have answered taps since Jones preached a very splendid sermon to Mrs. J. R. White made a splendid talk. A purse was presented to Rev. Jones by the Order. There is still a few of our people who do not realize the need of such an organization as the Athletic Association in our city, and there is still a larger number who have not got the evidence in us to believe that we mean bullying in a place for our young men and boys is being felt more and more each day and it is up to the colored people of the city to give them such a place. The cry of the colored people of St. Paul has been, "We are independent and self supporting. Now is your mother prove this by providing a place for young men through the Afro-American Athletic Association."—H. R. Crawford, Gen. Sec. The May Soiree and Entertainment, under the auspices of the La Cliquot Club at Bowlyb Hall last Monday evening, was some entertainment. It was largely attended by the young folks and they enjoyed themselves as only young folks can. They had a musical interlude which consisted of a solo by Miss Kathleen Pryor; the Melrose Duo, Foster Brown and Bunny Harris; remarks by Mr. F. D. McCormack; remarks, Mr. O. H. Hall; Meccen trito, H. Thompson, G. Kennedy, Roy Weber. The twentieth century kid, Master Elmer Bradley. Each number was good and was warmly aplauled.

Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefeeling is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some people, questions of the rights of colored people under the Constitution, of the people of California have become impossible. They simply can not discuss this issue in this country, we cannot engage to do in cleansing our own blood of germs of conflict without thinking of our main business to reach across the water in restraint of war. War is incipient among us in these matters, and cruel barbarities frequent enough to keep us usy rehearsing ourselves. DIED.

The only colored member of the class and one of the four honor graduates is Miss Melvina Chandler, only daughter of Mrs. Maud Chandler, 1809 E. Franklin ave. Miss Chandler is an exceptionally fine young woman of 18 years of age. A certain large business firm of this city applied to the principal of South High for a stenographer and Miss Chandler was the only one recommended. It was stated to the large corporation that a teacher of Miss Chandler were concerned Miss Chandler surpassed every member of her class, but because of her nationality the large corporation refused to consider her at all. Is it not a shame that ability and worth cannot outweigh color prejudice? Shame, shame! A GRAND LUNCHEON. Notable among the entertainments offered by Minneapolis to the visiting ladies of the Eastern Star, was the luncheon of last Wednesday afternoon in honor of Mrs. Maud B. Bright, Worthy Grand Matron, and Mrs. Mary F. Bland, Grand Secretary of the Ordo. Mrs. John Sellers and Mrs. Harry Donaldson were the hostesses. The luncheon was served at the home of Mrs. Sellers, 2812 Tenth Ave. S. Gathered to meet the distinguished guests were twenty-five ladies prominent in the social life of the Twin Cities. Drawn curtains shut out the harsh light of day, and artificial illumination brightened the beautiful effect the glowing colors of the natural flowers with which the tables were decorated. Viands, delightfully good to sight and taste, served in seven courses divided the interest with an impromptu programme of music and song and telling talks by the ladies assembled. The honor guests each spoke briefly. Mrs. J.H. Roll gave several instrumental numbers. Select readings was the first offering of Mrs. Bettie Patterson Jones, of St. Paul. Mrs. M. O. Cannon, Mrs. Maud Price, Mrs. Ione Gibbs and Mrs. Ophelia Rice were heard in short but happy talks. Mrs. W. M. Smith entertained with a vocal number. The charm of this gathering will long linger in the memories of the ladies who count themselves fortunate in having been present.
