NO. 24 BELMONT HEADS AVIATION CORPS National Reserve of Air Fighters Being Formed. FOR USE IN CASE OF WAR. Headquarters In New York, but District Bases Are to Be Located In Other Cities—Plans For 1,500 Landing Stations In All Parts of the Country—Other Schemes For Defense. New York—The Aero-Military Service Federation of America, a volunteer organization of which August Belmont is president general and Mortimer Delano deputy president general, has announced the proposed formation of a national reserve of aviation volunteers for use in case of war. The program outlined by Mr. Delano contemplated the establishment of district bases in New York, Richmond, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco, with twenty- Photo by American Press Association. AUGUST BELMONT. eight aero squadron centers and 1,500 landing stations scattered from coast to coast. Mr. Delano explained that under the federal law at present there is no authorization for the formation of an aviation regiment and that therefore his organization is a provisional body. He says efforts will be made to have the next congress authorize the First Aviation corps, the formation of which is the ultimate purpose of the Aero-Military federation. The federation also has the right to urge the congress federal control of all aviation. The prospectus of the organization says its purposes are patriotic and educational. The membership is divided into three classes, aviators, officers of the United States army and navy and civilians who are unable to serve in an aviation corps. Mr. Delano said that in about 50 percent of the squadron branches had been formed and were busy recruiting. He made a membership of 25,000 in three months and he plans the establishment of the hundreds of landing stations to make aviation easier and safer in all parts of the country. About three years ago Mr. Delano attempted the formation of a similar organization, which lapsed into descent. Mr. Delano credits this to circumstances over which he had no control that now, with the aweak spirit of national defense, citizens in all parts of the country will join the federation. Lindley M. Garrison, secretary of war, received a letter from Alan R. Hawley, president of the Aero Club of America, in which it is proposed that the government establish a squadron of eight aeroplanes at Governors island for the defense of this city. Whenever accounts of aerial attacks on cities appear in the news the Aero Club receives inquiries from residents of New York and other cities; city would be defended by aeroplanes. "The aerial attack upon Venice by Austrian aviators, who flew to Venice from a base more than 100 miles away," said Mr. Hawley, "and the recent sight Brussels, when twenty-seven aeroplanes defended that city from an attack of a Zeppelin, have increased the number of inquiries. The attacks upon cities and ships by aeroplanes which start from distant bases and the use of aeroplanes for range finding compel people to realize that attacks could be made upon New York cities starting from ships fifty or a hundred miles, or large guns, by delivering 2,130,000 foots of metal per minute at a range of 20,000 yards, and sided by aeroplanes. would quickly reduce any coast defense not adequately protected. "The east is entirely without aeronautical protection. The military centers have no aerosplanes. The troops have never maneuvered with aerosplanes and the men behind the coast defense guns have no aerial eyes to give them their accurate range. I submit that this is an unnatural and shocking condition. I deem it my duty to urge that steps be taken immediately to provide aerosplanes for the defense of this part of the country." GOT $40,000 FOR $50. Dead Prospector Leaves Estate to the Man Who Grubstaked Him Sat. Bernardino, Cal. - A $50 grub stake given to an aged prospector eleven years ago has returned to A. J. Garner, a young livery stable proprietor of Highland, in the form of a $40-400 estate. Garner at Jerome, Ariz., received a $50 check from his parents. He met W. H. Hawnyder, a prospector and friend, who told him he was "dead broke." Fifty dollars, he told Garner, would grubstake him for a prospecting trip. Garner immediately handed over his check. He had not seen Hawnyder since. The other day a stranger inquired where he could find Gus Garner. "That's me," said Garner. "Did you ever know W. H. Hawnyder?" asked the stranger, who was H. G. Jamison, a New York attorney. "He was my best friend," replied Gus. "That's right," said Jamison. "He's died and left you his $40,000 estate." BLOWN UP BY WIRELESS? Fred T. Jane Suggests Solution of Irene and Bulwark Disasters. London.—The suggestion has been made in the Evening Standard by Fred T. Jane, the naval author, that the steamer Princess Irene was blown up by a German wireless device. The Princess Irene, an auxiliary in the British navy, was blown up recently in Sheerness harbor, with a loss of more than 300 lives. "The sudden and complete destruction of the Princess Irene in the Medway," Mr. Jane writes, "at no great distance from where the battlefield Bulwark also was suddenly blown to attack, may be a curious coincidence. It should have proved it possible to explode properly during charge by wireless from a short distance. If that charge be surreptitiously placed in a magazine everything in the magazine will go the same way. One spontaneous explosion is thinkable enough, but two in the same district demand too much from the imagination." Would Organize 15,000 Employees at Washington. Washington. — The national capital will soon have one of the biggest clubs and one of the biggest clubhouses in the world if Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, carries out his plan. Indications are that he will. He has a committee of three at work, and it is meeting with much success. The secretary's plans call for the formation in one big club of the 15,000 government employees here. He hopes to erect a clubhouse occupying a whole block. It is not alone the social end that Secretary Lane has in mind. He plans to look after physical needs also. He proposes to establish a chain of co-operative stores in Washington, where the government clerks can purchase their food, clothing and other necessities of life at a cost very much below that which now prevails. Secretary Lane is an enthusiastic adherent of the co-operative plan. It is used successfully in the reclamation service of the interior department and on a more or less limited scale in the Home club, of which the secretary is founder and president. The Home club will be the nucleus of the organization. It occupies the old Brickhouse, in Jackson place, but its membership has grown so fast that, although this house is of the most commodo in the city, it is almost impossible to care for its 1,700 members, all employees of the interior department. The Home club has a business manager, who looks after co-operative buying, G. K. Weston. When fresh eggs were selling recently at 50 cents a dozen he distributed several hundred dozen a week to the members of the club at a price approximating 38 cents a dozen the best creamy butter was selling the best creamy butter at a price of 35 cents a pound Home club members were able to buy it for 35 cents a pound. At Christmas time candy that was sold for 60 cents a pound was purchased for 50 cents by members of the club. More than 200 retail dealers in Washington have signed agreements to give Home club members discounts of from 5 to 20 per cent on cash purchases. At the club, through the bureau of mines, bought several thousand tons of coal at a saving of from 50 to 50 cents a ton. COURTED IN JAIL. Youthful Prisoners Wed When Released. Morgantown, W. Va. — A courtship that began in jail and developed there into love, although the principals could not get a good look at each other during their courtship, resulted a few days ago in the marriage of Minnie Brooks, twenty, and John Bobis. The girl was serving a sentence of six months for threatening to kill a sniper. When three months of her time was up Bobis was brought to jail to serve ninety days. The girl was on the second floor of the jail, and Bobis was on the first. THE APPEAL. ARCHDUCHESS AT THE FRONT. Daughter of Austrian Commander In Chief Heads Red Cross Corps. Vienna.—The Archduchess Isabella, daughter of Archduke Frederick, commander in chief of the Austrian forces, is now seeing actual service at the battle front. She is head of one of the Austrian Red Cross corps and spends a great deal of time at her father's headquarters. The Austrian Red Cross is an admirably organized body of workers and ARGBUKE FREDERICK AND DAGHTER, ISABELLA, AT FRONT. is carrying on its humane work in a quiet but very effective manner. Archduke Frederick has been one of the most conspicuous figures in the war. He has been directing the operations against both the Russians and Italians and is now confronted by another emergency, the possible entrance of Roumania into the war on the side of the allies. It is stated that the Roumanian army consists of 1,000,000 well trained and well armed men, who will be stationed along a 600 mile front in event of her participation in hostilities. Scientists at Work Trying to Collect All of the Bones. Grand Junction, Colo — Coming to Grand Junction to examine the skeleton of the dinosaur found south of the city recently, Professor J. D. Diggins of the City Park museum in Denver found another while searching the hills. He expects to have it excavated and removed to Denver to be mounted in the museum. Professor Figgins, with two guides, viewed the pile of bones of the petrified dinosaur recently located and found the bones much scattered and disintegrated. Some were carried away by specimen hunters. He found hard, muddy rocks which he declared to be the quarried a dinosaur swallowed to grind food with, as a chicken swallows pebbles. He kept on the trail and soon found small silvers of bone and a large joint sticking out of the ground. He staked the place and returned to Grand Junction and states that he will immediately start the work of having the huge skeleton uncovered. Judging from the formation where the bones were found, there is every reason to believe that the skeleton can be taken out in more than ordinarily fine condition. Professor Figgins said it has always been the case that when petrified skeletons of dinosaurs have been found in Colorado some eastern museum has swallowed the prize, while Colorado's own museum devoid of any of the specimens found in its own state. If this proves to be a fairly good specimen it will be placed in the Denver museum as rapidly as the work can be accomplished. While there is no way of determining the size of the sautian until some excavation is made, the size of the joint found pretruding from the ground indicates that the animal was as large as the largest ones found in the valley. CUPID BROKE UP CLUB. St. Paul Bachelore Girl's Club is Now a Name Only. St. Paul-The Bachelore Girl's club of St. Paul danced itself out of existence at the army. Sixth and Exchange streets, after ten of the original thirteen members had fallen before the marksmanship of Dan Cupid. It was the twelfth dance given by the club, and at the street corner few mornings ago the last, restice of the club as an organization vanished like Cinderella under the spell of the fairy. The club was organized five years ago, and the members, bound by solemn oaths of bachelorhood, remained intact for five. Cupid battered at the ramparts, and one after another of the members, accounted until five gloves fell, Sunday, two of these fell, and a double wedding moment carried dimay to the hearts of the remaining three. NAVAL MEN DOUBT THEORY Submerged Tanks in Inlets Could Furnish Gasoline to Undersea Craft. However, Torpedoes Must Be Replenished and Crews Must Have Rest Off the Boats. Washington—Speculation as to the Germans having established secret submarine bases in isolated coves along the Irish coast was revived in semi-official circles in Washington by the publication of a dispatch from Crookhaven, Ireland, which told of a submarine having been sighted and fired upon near that place. For some time there has been a strong belief here that there have been secret submarine bases of this character somewhere along the western or southwestern coasts of Ireland. It was definitely ascertained, however, that no information had been received by the navy department from its intelligence sources aboard concluding the discovery of the supposed secret bases. If there are any such bases the indentations in the shores of Ireland may have been conveniently utilized by the Germans for that purpose. In the absence, however, of definite knowledge that such a base has been established, well informed naval officers cast doubt on this explanation of the facility with which German submarines have been able to operate in the stretch of water between Fastnet rock, the first lighthouse seen by transatlantic passengers bound for Queensland, Liverpool, and Bishop's rock, where they each held first glimpse of a lighthouse when going to Southampton. Naval officers apparently are agreed on one point—that none of the submarines that have attacked merchant ships off the south and west coasts of Ireland have gone to those sections of the German naval war zone around the British isles by way of the strait of Dover or the English channel. The British have so effectively protected the approach to the English channel by a mine field extending from Ostend to the entrance to the Thames that no German warship, floating or submarine, has yet been shown to have passed that obstruction. Naval officers here do not believe that submarines could successfully pass through this mine field. They also point to the announcement recently made in parliament that England has been able successfully to transport our naval soldiers from England to France and back across the channel without the loss of a single transport or the death of a single during the cross channel journey. If German submarines were able to go to the south coast of Ireland by the channel route and there sink merchant ships, it is pointed out, the same submarines could have sunk British troops, which would be of greater military advantage to Germany than the mere sinking of merchant ships, which carry only noncombatants. With the English channel approach to the west and south coasts of Ireland as well as to the Scilly islands closed, the German submarines would have to take the North sea and north of Scotland route to the western shores of Ireland, and once seized submarines to the Irish coast it was said here, the Germans might obviate the long journey around Scotland, to and from Ireland and Germany, by establishing secret bases on the Irish coast, and the theory is very strong that this has been done. The naval experts, however, believe that the submarines have made the journey back and forth around Scotland. One high naval officer said that the submarines could have marines with a steaming radius of 4,000 or 5,000 miles, which could easily negotiate the long journey. It was suggested to him that if there were secret bases on the Irish coast there might be submerged tanks of gasoline which the submarines could visit at night, raising them to replenish their fuel supply and then sinking them. It was suggested that they have constructed large tanks that could be towed under water. This officer admitted that this was possible, though he did not believe it had been done. He said that the use of such tanks was proposed some time ago to this government, but he believed, in the light of a great deal of information that he had received, that the German submarines were not following the secret base practice. He pointed out that it was necessary for submarines to replenish their supplies of torpedoes, something that could not be done from a secret base as easily as replenishing gasoline stock, and that. what was even more important, the men who operated German submarines so closely and the strain upon them, that it would be necessary for the crew to return to their German bases after their raids to recuperate. This officer also said that, while it was barely possible that the Germans might be making use of some remote island or core, there were too many persons on watch around the Irish coast for such bases to remain easily a secret. PEGOUD IN AIR BATTLES. Brought Down German Taube and Made Two Prisoners. Paris — 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 taube near St. Menebedou while he was alone on patrol duty. The report of the incident says that when Pegoud saw the German approaching he flew rapidly toward the hostile air craft and sent it to earth with a few well placed shots. Pegoud then landed beside the taube 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 1918 as the originator of the feat of flying upside down in an airplane, was awarded the French military medal 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. Paris—General A. G. L. d'Amade, commander of the French expeditionary forces at the Dardanelles 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 Dardanelles: "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, Gerald 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. "Two general generals who were witnesses of his bravery and courage wrote me expressing spontaneously their admiration and informed me that he 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 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 Chuck. He Was Never In Danger. Cheek—He Was Never In Danger. Chicago—Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, pure food expert who is on a tour urging kids to eat the raw, tooth-footed up on 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 used with poisonous paint or rouge. "If there is any danger in kissing, he concluded, "nobody ever threatened me."

GERMANS HAVING BULLY TIME Nothing to Do but Enjoy Life, and Norfolkera, Ai Hauling Them. Norfolk, Va.-The crews of the German auxiliary cruisers Ettlefried and Kronprinz Wilhelm, interned at this port, are enjoying life to its fullest. Besides numerous entertainments accorded to officers and crews, the men are living a life of luxurious idleness. Their chief vocation at this time is pleasure-pleasure day and night. They spend most of their time in Norfolk in the early hours of the day. In the afternoon they go to Virginia Beach, Beach View and other nearby resorts. They smoke good cigars,吃 the best and appear to have plenty of money. Barring a few cases of berberi on the Kronprinz, they are a healthy lot. The men have been taken into the homes of a number of citizens and entertained, and special services have held for them in Protestant churches. They are made to feel at home. They appear on the streets in white uniforms with blue stripes and white hats. They are as neat as new pins, and their conduct is perfect. They roam the streets arm in arm with American bluejackets and visit the best theaters and other public resorts. They are beginning to love the great American game. Several hundred of them attended a baseball game in Portsmouth and rose up and cheered a player who drove the ball over the fence for a home run. Whether they understood the game or just followed the Americans who stood up and cheered, no one but themselves knew. But there is a movement on foot to organize two baseball teams out of the crews—one on the Eltel and another on the Kronprinz—and some of the men are practicing daily. They have spent over $200 for equipment. A little short chap whom the American sailors call "Buelow" drove a ball over the sea wall in a practice game. ITALY AND AUSTRIA RENEW OLD STRUGGLE Adriatic Sea Has Always Been Cause of Great Wars. Washington.—"Once more the people upon the opposite shores of the Adriatic sea are in a duel with one another for the mastery of the Mediterranean, just as neighbors across this arm of the land locked sea have always clashed, for upon the Adriatic south European supremacy has been contested since the days when Rome fell heir to the sea power of Athens and Carthage. Over this waterway Rome met the pirates of Istria and Dalmatia, aggressive Teutonic tribes and pressing hordes of Slavs, over it the empire of the east sent its expeditions to attack the empire of the west, and Austria a generation ago waged war with a disintegrated Italy over Adriatic paths and for the suzerainy of the sea." After giving the above brief review of this historic theater for the transport of invading armies and the actions of battle beets, youngest of the war theaters in the present European juggle, around whose shores the interest with European battles will center through the months to come, a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society continues in a presentation of the geographic details of the Adriatic sea: "The Adriatic sea is 500 miles long and about 130 miles wide in its greatest width. Its average width is 110 miles. "The Austrian, or eastern, coast is broken, stewed with fine harbors and lined with numerous rocky islands, which belong to Istria and Dalmatia. This eastern coast is of great naval and commercial value, well formed for the upboulding of great, thriving trade ports and by reason of its almost continuously mountainous shores, its gulfs and bays and its screening fringe of rocky islands advantageously defended. The western, or Italian, coast, on the other hand, is low, sandy and almost unbroken. It lacks good harbors and offers few natural advantages for defense. The commercial importance of the Adriatic sea throughout the dark ages and the middle ages was great. This importance is somewhat impaired by the opening of the all sea route to India and by the determined seas of the Dutch and English maritime marmes. With the opening of the Suez canal and the commercial and industrial awakening of Italy and Austria, Hungary, the Adriatic regained much of its old time significance. The most important commercial points are Trieste, Venice, Flume, Ancona and Brindisi, Venice and Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, are the two foremost cities." 11 IN EVERY 100 WORKLESS. Another 16.8 Per Cent of Wage Earners on Part Time. Washington.—More than eleven wage earners in every hundred were out of employment, and about sixteen of the remainder were working only part time in March and the early part of April in fifteen of the important cities of the country. Returns of a canvass of 889,881 families, including 644,838 wage earners, showed 73,800, or 11.5 per cent, wholly unemployed and 106,622, or 18.3 per cent, without full time employment. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY $2.40 PER YEAR. BECKER'S FATE IN HIGHEST COURT Man Who Sent Him to Death House Has Pardon Power. NO COMPLENT BY GOVERNOR Prisoner Has Been Quoted as Saying That He Will Not Ask His Nemesis For Clemency—Reports That He Would Reveal Other Graft Doubled. Case Now In Federal Court. New York.—The taking of the case of Charles Becker to the United States supreme court will automatically act as a stay, and the execution will not take place on the date set. But if Becker loses in the highest court in the land he will find himself in a peculiar situation. He will be based on in the event of an unfavorable decision by this court to go to the death penalty, asking clemency or will have to appeal to the one man responsible for his conviction. Charles Whitman was district attorney at the time of the two Becker trials, and it was his activities in this case that won him fame and kept his name constantly before the public. Whitman stubbornly fought for the convictions, which he won. He was convinced from the outset that Becker was guilty and spared no pain in fighting the Becker has been terminated. Becker has been quoted that he will not ask the governor for any quarter, that he will go to the Photo by American Press Association. CHARLES BECKER chair rather than ask a favor of the man who prosecuted him. The situation is one that is very trying on the man. Governor Whitman has not stated what he would do if a petition for clemency should be formally presented to him. The governor granted a brief respite to Becker because he was held against the west on the date the court set for the petition and asserted at the time that he would not consider the matter until after his return. It now appears that Becker is in a mood to tell what he knows of graft in New York for a commuted sentence, whereas if nothing is to be gained by "squealing" he is resolved to die game. Those at first inclined to doubt the accuracy of the report that Becker is ready to use any means he has to save may now convince that this may be the case and now police centers upon whether or not what the state to warrant giving him his life. At the office of District Attorney Perkins it has been officially announced that no confession Becker can make will help him, as evidence against police officials or former police officials could result in their punishment for only a year or two in jail. The office announcement points out that it would not be sure of the facts of justice to save Becker from the court to send another man or other men to prison for awhile. This is the reiterated view of the prosecutor's office. Becker, whose nights immediately after the appeal was denied were spent in tortured anxiety, eats and sleeps better. He has better control of himself during the visits of his wife. According to Deputy Warden Johnson. Becker is showing a change for the better. He takes his exercise vigorously and again is an enthusiast for handball. He had been reading aloud to the other men in the death house the most interesting newspaper accounts of the war's progress. After the appeal was denied he stopped this diversion. Found Ring Lost Forty Years. Long Beach, Cal.-Mrs. Andrew F. Mitchell, wife of the pastor of the First Friends church, was notified by letter recently that her wedding ring, lost in a plen for forty years ago on their farm in Park county, Ind., had been found. Mitchell moved away from the farm, but it they asked the couple who succeeded them to keep a sharp lookout for the ring, but they had long since given up the ring as lost. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL?

Some of the prejudice fighters in Chicago have been at work on the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation," and while the great contest to have the film barred from exhibition in the city was raging, some of the prominent colored people were giving a minstrel performance. Yellow and brown people blackened their faces with burnt cork and gave "coon songs" and dances and the other stuff which goes with a minstrel performance. The people who took part in this affair are very well known in colored circles, so THE APPEAL will be charitable enough to presume that they did not intend to deliberately do anything which would in any way injure themselves or the people of their group. But they must not be so thoughtless in the future. These intelligent people ought to be ashamed that they had anything to do with a minstrel performance in which the darker side of their class is shown. THE APPEAL has always opposed minstrel shows and has recently called attention to the misrepresentations of the colored people, often given in public schools and churches by white people. If the colored people of Chicago wish to make an effective protest against prejudice breeding programs of every kind, they must stop burlesquing themselves and "come clean." THE APPEAL acknowledges the receipt of an invitation to the Fifty-second Annual Commencement of Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, Thursday, June 17, 1915. CHICKEN STEALING DE LUXE SHICKEN STEALING DE LUXE. One of the chestnuts which has done duty in minstrelsy for more than a generation is the old lie about the "nigger" chicken thief who sneaked into the hen coop in the dark.

The dockets of the police courts all over the country in recent years, show that many distinguished white men are now in the industry of the illicit capture of fowls. One gentleman was a leader of society in Kansas City, who never appeared in public ungloved. He had his business thoroughly systematized and reaped thousands of dollars out of his thievery. He is now in the penitentiary. Two white gentlemen arrested a few days ago in Laporte, Ind., have elevated the chicken lifting business to the "de luxe" class. These men used a specially built automobile, carrying interchangeable tires, license tags of three states, and other paraphernalia. They are said to have been operating in northern Indiana and Illinois and southern Michigan for two months. The poor old black chicken thief, who could be traced by the prints of his number 18 brogans, so beloved by the minstrel, has made his exit, and the elegant kid gloved white thief in his big auto, appears on the scene, gets the chickens and has whisked away before one can say Jack Robinson. The progress of civilization is wonderful. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." The colored people all over the country have been fighting the mischievous and dangerous prejudice breeding film, "The Birth of a Nation." Articles, editorials, etcetera, have appeared in the papers all over the country, but the best THE APPEAL has seen is the communication to the Chicago Tribune, written by Major John R. Lynch, who lived in the south during the reconstruction period and knows whereof he speaks. Major Lynch's article is so excellent that we reproduce it in full: Chicago. (Editor of The Tribune.)—Speaking of the photoplay called "The Birth of a Nation," you say: It is in all essential episodes grounded on historical fact, representing the struggles of that terrible time in the south when the whites, back from war, saw their government taken over by the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the northern carnethagers 'What happened with the Negro ascendant and how the white re-established his supremacy is shown with obvious natural sympathy for the south, not with such heightening of effect as drama right to employ. It presents what the south says and the north of our day, at least, is inclined to believe to be truth.' Exactly the reverse of this is true, for there never was a time when any one of the governments of the south was taken by the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the northern carpetaggers. That some mistakes were made during the progress of reconstruction will not be denied. How could it be otherwise? The war had just come to an end. So Samantha animosity was bitter and intense. The Republican party was looked upon as the worst in the south. No white man could identify himself with the Republican party at that time in any one of the southern states without running the risk of being socially ostracised and publicly characterized as an enemy to his section, his state, and his race. Notwithstanding these things, not less than 25 per cent of the men of that section—men who were to the man born, many of them ex-Conference soldiers, identified themselves with and became leaders of the Republican party. These, in the main, were the men that the newly enfranchised blacks selected as their leader to they loyally and faithfully followed.

There never was a time when there was actual physical Negro domination," or even carpet battles in any one of the reconstructed states. The play to which you refer, instead of being "grounded on historical facts," is grounded on historical misrepresentation, without having a single actual fact as the basis of its existence. It is fiction pure and maintained from a diseased and prejudiced imagination with a false and deceptive background, upon which to stand. Such a play could not be otherwise than mischievous in its inception and dangerous in its results, even if the scenes depicted were a truthful reproduction of actual occurrences. But when it is or ought to be a well known fact that the alchemy are pure fabrications with not a single base, and of truth to support them, their production hardly be less than criminal. In the main they are false, slanderous, and malicious. They are calculated and intended to engender and intensify race prejudice and race hatred. In the interest of peace, order, truth, justice, and morality they should be no good can come but much harm may be caused to them. It is, therefore, the duty of the shorties to suppress them, just as they would suppress any other nuisance that is calculated to incite crime and general disorder in the community. In this connection allow me, as a southern man, to say, and to say whereof I know, that there are just two classes of white people at the south who keep this so-called race problem constantly before the public. The class is composed of those who classify race prejudice simply for the dollars and can they make out of it. The second class is composed of those who utilize race prejudice for the purpose of securing political distinction and official recognition which they could never secure through any merit of their own. It makes no difference with these people how much harm to the public or in nature is done to any people or race as long as they can accomplish the purpose desired. They know there is not a particle of the things anything they say or produce relative to matter. But what difference does that make to them? The office seeker finds that this is his best paying political asset. What is the use, then, of considering or discussing the tariff, the financial, or any other subject or question as long as this mythical race question will answer the purpose? They and what this is the one question upon which they can hold the white men of the south in object political subjection and upon which the average white man at the middle can be easily fooled and deceived. As long, then, as the country believes, as you seem to believe, that these things are true and that public sentiment must tolerate them and approve methods that are criminal and practices that would be otherwise indesirable for the purpose of preventing "negotiation," just so long will this state of affairs continue. Let us hope that the people will eventually be opened to that justice and fair play for all that be the accepted rule of action in all parts of our country. JOHN R. LYCHN, Author of "The Facts of Reconstruc- tion." A PHILANTHROPIST'S (?) METH- ODS. 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 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- $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 Thibodeau 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. The murder was caused by a woman's jealousy. 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 be came insanely jealous and killed her. That's all. 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 APPEAL 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. Press 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 APEALH 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 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 ractal questions agree. The mixing of bloods in this country has gone so far that it is impossible eermine 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. 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 malmed 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 continue; 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! APPEAL ALLOWED ON FILMS. Chicago, June 11.—Judge Cooper in the Superior Court today allowed an appeal to be taken to the appellate court on a bill of exceptions filed to the injunction granted by him restraining the City of Chicago from indefinite production of "The Birth of a Nation" expected that an early hearing will be had and an immediate decision given by the appellate court. WANTS A COLOR LINE. Chicago, June 1, 1915. Editor Evanston News-Index: At the Houston News-index: At the musical festival in Evanston I noted the Saturday afternoon performance of Negro children among the whites. The effect was not pleasing. The scene was aggravated by the placing in many instances of Negro boys between little white girls. Assuming that the teachers in the schools had the placing of these children, then I would say that such an arrangement was an aggravation of an allowable color question in this country and, particularly in Evanston. The person who arranged these children apparently went out of his or her way to make this point obnoxious to the audience. If the Negroes must be placed in prominence in this way why not put them in a group by themselves, which they personally would prefer, rather than sprinkling five or more. Nothing is gained by adding fire to the color question in this way, but it would appear that the teachers or those of charge of just such affairs as this out of their way to shove the Negroes down the throats of whites. The above appeared in the Evanton News-Index June 7. The idea of a man with such a name expressing such sentiments against native born American citizens! Well, the next day, in the columns of the same paper, Rev. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. church, in an article nearly five times as long literally wiped up the earth with the alien and he was seconded to Mrs. Edw. C. Mumphrie in an article about six inches long.
