Several po occupied, and wh going in opposite with a load on h ways cry "Right" the other would g would observe th London.—Much ingenuity is being expended in adding to efficiency for destruction by German airships. The Rotterdam correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "The latest device is an aerial torpedo which is proposed to be used by the new super Zeppelins. It is made of aluminium and filled with gas. When discharged from a tube in the airship the torpedoes, it is stated, are sustained by gas and controlled by wireless from the airship. They can be directed from a great distance and exploded at any point required. "Professor Roland of Stuttgart has invented a trench protection against shell fire. It consists of an artificial stone, which it is stated will stand a pressure three times greater than reinforced concrete. It is manufactured in slabs two yards square and will stand a temperature of 1,000 degrees. In infantry ride fire at fifteen yards it will even crack it, although it was less than one and one-half inches thick." The Daily Mail's Copenhagen correspondent says: "The new type of Zeppelin airship is rounded at the front and has a Photo by American Press Association.

Three tanks for carrying poisonous gas bombs are slung beneath the gondola or navigating chamber and are fitted with a newly invented bomb drowning apparatus. "The new airship has a smaller crew than the ordinary Zeppelin, but her speed is reported to be much greater. Among the crew are men able to make a fresh supply of poisonous gas bombs during a voyage. "It is reported that ten airships of the new type are already built. Several more are stated to be in course of construction for the purpose of taking part in a proposed aerial invasion of England." An aerial plane "destroyer," designed for attacking dirigible airships, has been perfected in Italian government workshops in the country. It is an enormous machine that three separate engines and with a total energy of more than 250 horsepower. It consists, in fact, of the bodies of two ordinary tractor biplanes placed side by side and far enough apart so that there is room between them for the propeller of a third engine. Each of the two main bodies has its own engine and tractor screw in front, so that it looks at first like two ordinary tractor biplanes flying in hand. On the section of wing which joins the two bodies is placed the body work of an ordinary pusher biplane, with the engine and propeller behind. In this way the body projects well forward in front of the screws of the other two engines, so that it can carry a considerable size and have a clear field of fire. On both sides, without danger of hitting its own screws or wings. The machine is capable of lifting a huge cargo of bombs large enough to be certain to destroy a Zeppelin if they hit it, and even capable of doing serious damage to a battleship. Plowed Up Lost Bills Huntington, Ind.-Cifford F. Owens, a farmer living south of Huntington, lost his purse when plowing a field on his place two years ago. The purse contained a $10 bill, two $1 bills, two checks and some silver. While plowing the same field recently his plow- share turned up the lost pocketbook. HABIT SAVES MAN'S LIFE. When He Heard "Right" Would Be Suicide Changed Aim. Los Angeles, Cal.- Habit saved George Lee, forty-five, recently when he plotted against his life. He placed the muzzle of a revolver in his mouth, put his mind in order for the end and was pulling the trigger when he heard some one call "Right!" It was a word used more frequently than any other in his work in a downtown grocery. There Lee was accustomed to carry packages across a long room. Several persons were similarly occupied, and when they would meet, going in opposite directions, the one with a load on his shoulder would always cry "Right!" The right hand of the other would go up in signal that he would observe the rules of the meeting, for the contents of the boxes were fragile and any interference might cause a loss that would be deducted from their wages. While his finger was drawing at the trigger, from outside came the clear call "Right!" voiced by chance in the conversation of passersby. From habit Lee's right hand started to signal, the finger released the trigger, and she exploded, but the minor twitch that he had when he heard the word of warning beached the aim so that the bullet left a harmless wound in his cheek. Persons who heard the shot rushed to the room and took Lee off to the receiving hospital, where his wound was dressed and his spirits revived by the promise that a job would be given him. VILLAGES IN EUROPE ARE RUN BY WOMEN Weaker Sex, Forced by Necessity, Takes Up Odd Callings. London.-Owing to the war women are taking up many odd callings to make up for the shortage of men, but in the country women have always done whatever lies nearest to their hand. In the village the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, may all be women, and there is at least one small in which women form the chief business of the central hotel is run by a woman and her daughter; a woman defyts the joints and orders her son about. A bakeress bakes the nicest bread, and her daughter trudges far into the country with two baskets slung on her back, a picturequeque figure of the female worker. The wine merchant is a woman who worked up a nice little business, a chemist's shop is a woman, to say nothing of the trades that are to be found everywhere, sweetstuff shops, fancy shops and the like. France, being a country where universal service is the rule, is nowadays depending largely on the work of women, but even in the times of peace there were places where they were the chief citizens. At Frosty, in the department of Osse, most of the public appointments are held by women and will be until their present holders die. There is a postmistress instead of a postmaster; the telegraph department is held by a woman; a station mistress directs the postmistress station; a lady barber cuts the hair of the community, and the town crier alsoacks "ess" on to the name of her calling. In most cases these posts were held by husbands or brothers, and the villagers considered their female relatives were their legitimate successors. This is also partly the case in the English town mentioned, although in some cases daughters have succeeded mothers to the general satisfaction. Another French community is also directed by women, not by chance, but by custom and necessity. This is the rocky island of Ushant, dreaded by sailors, which breeds a hardy race of seamen engaged either in the French navy or mercantile marine or in fishing, the work on land being done by women. In Russia a community of seven villages with long names is entirely ruled by women. Each village possesses a mayors, and a registrate and policeman and postmaster—in fact every administrative post—are also filled by the gentile sex. Some fifty years ago a bad epidemic occurred, and the men made such a muddle of affairs and behaved so badly that the women took over the government to save themselves from starvation. So successful were they that they have continued to direct affairs ever since. BLIND WINDOW CLEANER. "Earns His Living." Says Owner of Hotel. Belolt, Wls.-Totally blind as a result of a railroad accident near Milwaukee seven years ago, John Gibson, forty-eight years old, is earning his living by scrubbing floors and washing windows at the Translent hotel in Belolt. The proprietor of the place says Gibson is earning his living as well as any full sighted porter he ever had. The man does this cleaning work entirely by the sense of touch and a system of mental measurements and calculations, nothing in his work to denote disability. "Seven years ago," Mr. Gibson said, "I was working on a railroad near Milwaukee when an explosion occurred in some blasting powder. When I left the hospital I was totally blind." THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1915. Income of $140,000 Annually Held in Trust With the Exception of $20,000 Allowed For Expenses—Mrs. Astor Has Had to Dip Into Her Own Purse to Pay the Bills. New York—The report of Mrs. Madeline Talmade Force Astor as general guardian of her three-year-old child, John Jacob, the postmumson son of Colonel John Jacob Astor, shows that $64,000 has been expended in the child's interest since his birth. Aug. 14, 1912, and that the mother does not consider $20,000 a year allowed by the court sufficient for his proper maintenance. Of the $60,000 permitted to be taken from the infant's estate during the three year period, to expire, $40,000 had been paid over by the trustees. Photo © by American Press Association. JOHN JACOB ASTOR. prior to Dec. 31 last. It was on this date that the accounts in the report were closed. The balance expended has come from Mrs. Astor's private purse. She does not ask that the deficit be refunded to her, but she leaves a way open for such request to be made in the future and also for the filing of a petition asking for a larger maintenance income. Prophetic of such a demand, Mrs. astor calls attention to a provision in the Colonel Astor, who met death when the treasurer, by which a $3,000 trust fund was set aside for their child. The interest from this amounts to $140,000 a year. Regarding this income, she says, it is plain that her husband intended the child to enjoy every comfort money could buy. "The necessary expenditures since the birth of the infant to Dec. 31, 1914, she reports, "for professional services rendered the said infant by physicians and lawyers, and for my bond as general guardian, all paid by me, have upward of $8,000. The examination of the accounts of various employees and others with whom I have dealt. I find that there has been expended for clothing, supplies, toys, etc., for the use of said infant since the date of his birth to Dec. 31, 1914, and paid by me, a sum upward of $5,000. "I have not charged the infant of any portion of the rent paid by me for my summer home at Bar Harbor, Me., or of the various trips on which he has accompanied me; or of the cost of the upkeep of automobiles maintained from all of which he has received supplies, and a reasonable portion of which expense as I am advised by my counsel, Henry A. Gildenleve, the said infant might properly be charged. "From this it would seem that the expenditures I have incurred for the benefit of my said infant are far in excess of the monies received by me. "By the provision made in the will of a trust husband to the creation of a trust husband of $3,000,000 benefit of each child of mine that might survive him it clearly appears that it was his intention to provide a sum for the maintenance and support of such infant ample to secure everything for the comfort, welfare and education of such child that money could provide. My trustee then incorporates section 8 of Colonel Astor's will, in which the trust funds are created, and continues: "I am informed by the trustees of the trust created for the benefit of said infant, John Jacob Astor, under the above quoted provision of the clause of the will of my late husband of $3,000,000 benefit of the annual net income from said trust amounts to the sum of $140,000." 710 NEW MAIL ROUTES. Rural Free Delivery Extensions to Benefit 87,850 Families. Washington—Establishment of 710 new rural mail delivery routes to serve $2,390 families and the extension of existing service so as to be able to additional families were announced the other day by Postmaster General Burleson. Nearly all of the new routes went into operation June 15. Enlargement and extension of the rural service were made possible, a post office department statement explains, by a readjustment in April and May resulting in a reduction of operating expenses amounting to $511,262. Oders are now awaiting the postmaster's shifter to provide for new rural mail delivery in many localities, as authorized by the last appropriation bill. People on the routes, when living within a radius of twenty-five miles, will enjoy local rates. The first of the routes will go into operation on Aug. 1. LIVING COST LAID TO WOMEN Durand, Ex-Census Director, Says Homes Lack Efficiency. St. Paul—Dr. E. Dana Durand, former director of the United States census bureau and now in the department of economics of the University of Minnesota, placed the chief blame for the high cost of living on the consumers. And those, he said, were primarily the women. "If the home continues to be reactive and spurs efficiency no amount of law or theory will alter conditions," he began changing their ways, the women changing the problem will take about fifty years for a complete revolution in the moral character of the public is necessary to effectually reduce the cost of living." NEW X RAY SHOWS HAND BEHIND DOOR Danger of Burning Eliminated by New Invention. New York—After fifteen years of experimentation marked by many reverses and disappointments, Charles H. Stanley, an electrical engineer, announced that he had perfected an X ray device which will mark as great an advance in the science of surgery and therapeutics as the original X ray of Roentgen. A demonstration of the machine in Stanley's laboratory made it appear that the forecast by Guglielmo Marconi that one would some time be able to look from one room into another through the dividing walls is about to be realized. Through an ordinary door an inch and an eighth thick and twelve feet from the ray generated by the electrical machine a reporter was able to distinguish clearly the bones of the hand of Stanley moving on the other side, as well as to see the outlines of his hand. This test was made simply to illustrate the immensely greater power of the new machine over the old X ray devices. It is only one of the improvements claimed by Stanley. The principal value of the discovery lies in the fact that the rays may be used to patients for extended periods of burns resulting in a slightest danger of burns resulting, often incurable, has been of the most serious drawbacks to the use of the old X ray and often has offset the advantages accruing. The Roentgen rays are ordinarily applied only long enough to obtain a picture of the wound, fractured bone, dislocation or diseased portion of the body on which it is proposed to operate. With the new rays a photograph is not necessary, as the rays may be continued an indefinite length of time on the patient, and the surgeon may work directly in the ray. JESS ORDERS BIG SHOES. Measurement Shows the Champion Has "Some Feet." Olathe, Kan. — Jess Willard, the world's champion heavyweight, formerly a cowboy in the west, ordered a pair of "cowboy boots," sending his measurements by mail to a cowboy boot factory here. The boots are number 10% of regular boot width, and the calf measurement is nearly the largest by two inches of the 130 of the pairs of boots made by this firm, who have been in business here thirty-five years. Every stitch is hand sewed, and before the pair is completed they will have passed through the hands of sixteen sheeemakers, each of whom does one particular part. $2,000,000 HOUR WAR'S COST. Total For First Year Will Be $17,400, 000,000 Save French Econm This makes an average of 7,250,000 000 francs ($1,440,000,000) a month, 242,000,000 francs ($48,400,000) a day, 10,000 francs ($2,000,000) an hour. He believes the economic powers of Great Britain, France and Russia can support the strain much more easily than their opponents. WOMEN TAUGHT EFFICIENCY Value of Home Conveniences Demonstrated by Agents of Department of Agriculture—Data Show Amount Spent and Outline the Visible Results—Work Is Just Started. Washington—Secretary of Agriculture Houston is going to try to solve the problem of unrest among country women in the rural south of the country. "The chief objections of work to country life," according to a statement issued by the department, "are usually the generally small returns from farming, the drudgery of farm work and the social isolation. "Data taken from the records of the department and relating exclusively to women in thirty-three northern and western states show the following distribution of funds: For meetings and movable schools at Photo by American Press Association. SECRETARY HOUSTON. when demonstrations are given in cooking, sewing, household conveniences and for the organization of women's clubs to study home economics, $54,153; for canning clubs to teach girls and women how to prevent many of the wastes of the farm by canning and preserving fruits, vegetables and meats by cheap and rapid commercial processes, $56,197; for county agents who help farmers and their wives to increase the net income of the farm and thus make possible the introduction of labor saving conveniences and other improvements $1,027,312. "Extension work designed to be fundamentally helpful to farm women seems to include within its scope certain matters, as follows: "First—Plans to increase the net income of the farm. Farm women need more money for home conveniences, the purchase of home conveniences, the installation of water, sewerage, lighting and heating systems, kitchen and other conveniences and the bringing of literature and music into the home are, in the majority of country homes, dependent upon greater net profits in farming. Knowledge of these conveniences and other desirable things is good, but money to buy these desirable things is a vital accessory if country women are made as acceptable to women as to boys. "Second—Plans to teach and demonstrate efficiency in farm home management. These include such matters as wholesome food properly prepared and served in adequate supply and variety throughout the year, the care of the home and the family linen and wardrobe, the care and management of children and sometimes the handling of certain farm enterprises like poultry and eggs, milk and butter, the garden, small fruits, etc. Efficiency in farm home management contemplates the minimum of effort to achieve the farm family may find satisfaction and contentment in the home and that the time of the farm woman may be conserved. "Third—Plant for leisure and development. The farm woman needs time for reading, self development, child teaching, social life and recreation. "In the development of home economics demonstration work there needs to be kept in mind the point of new the problems of country women must be realized in country women. The county agent movement in some sections of the north and west started out primarily as a city man's movement, but it has succeeded in exact proportion as the farmers of the county have taken hold of the work and made it their own."

TESTS NEW GAS BOMB. American Inventor Tries Out His Chemicals on Condemned Cattle. Chicago.—A series of exhaustive experiments are being conducted at Fort Sheridan, under the supervision of United States army officers, with the chemical bomb recently invented by Dr. Fowzer. Condemned cattle are the subject of Dr. Fowzer declares their death will be instantaneous. A representative of the war department conferred with Dr. Fowzer, and it developed that government chemists have been working for a year to perfect a bomb almost identical with Dr. Fowzer's. "I would not be afraid to tell any one everything used in the bomb," said Dr. Fowzer, "and defy production of the bomb. The manufacturing process the secret. I am glad the United States government is investigating my bomb. This country can have it for a title of what it would cost any foreign nation. "My bomb will accomplish more toward eliminating war than your pleas for peace. When science succeeds in making war so deadly that men will recolt from it in horror then peace will have made gigantic strides." While Dr. Fowzer's claim pertains only to the chemical properties of the bomb, the method of leading and shooting from a cannon is something which he would require considerable experiment. This problem, however, seems to have already been solved by the government. The containers and a thin steel casing have been perfected. FRANCE'S TRADE LOSS IS $1,143,000,000 Suffers Greatly In Commercial Way Since Beginning of War. Washington.—The war to date has cost France more than $1,143,000,000 of her foreign trade, according to figures sent to the department of commerce by United States Consul General A. M. Thackara at Paris. Of this vast amount over $800,000,000 was sacrificed in the first four months of the conflict, up to Jan. 1, 1915. In that period the republic also grown on her own soil and seized by the German authorities occupying her northern provinces. There was a decrease in that time of 6,162 in the number of ships arriving at and 5,196 in the number of ships departing from French ports. In the first three months of 1915 the loss in France's foreign trade was nearly $440,000,000, by $111,400,000 as against $753,000,000 in the same period in 1914. The imports since the first of this year have been $288,000,000 as against $422,300,000 and the exports have been $125,100,000 as compared with $312,600,000. The imports of foods fell off $3,500,000, those of industrial materials $160,000,000, while those of manufactures, mostly war munitions, increased over $7,000,000. The exports of food products decreased nearly $7,000,000, those of industrial materials over $640,000,000 and manufactures $98,000,000. The imports into France in 1914 totaled $100,000,000 as against $1,625,317,000 in 1913. From France in 1914 were $691,130,000 as compared with $1,327,820,000 in 1913 a decrease of $398,751,000. The crushing extent of the blow dealt by the war is shown by the fact that in the first six months of 1914, before hostilities, France's foreign trade increased $33,891,000. The tendency of the war toward economic exhaustion is indicated by the fact that the decrease in imports and exports was almost entirely in material for the industries and in manufactures. The United Kingdom suffered less than any other nation by reason of the decrease in French trade, and the United States came next. The Belgian and almost entirely destroyed the occupancy of that kingdom by the German states. The shipments from Belgium to France in 1914 before the war, were valued at $00,405,000, while the shipments after the war began, up to Jan. 1, 1915, were only $677,000. HE WANTS AN INDIAN WIFE Requires Not Beauty or Grace, Only Means. Pendleton, Ore.—The following is taken from the East Oregonian: "Wanted—An Indian girl with means by a young man with forty acres of land."

Uncle Sam's Newest Dreadnought Carries Twelve Fourteen-inch Guns and Twenty-two Five-inch Rifles. Is the thirty-ninth Warship Built For American Navy Since 1892. Washington—The thirty-ninth battleship built for the American navy since 1892 took the water when the super-Dreadnought Arizona slipped from the ways of the New York navy yard. Colorado is the third battleship, the Indiana, launched in 1893, the Arizona is nearly twice as long, half again as wide and of three times as great displacement. Against the Indiana's four thirteen-inch guns and eight-eight-inch the Arizona will carry twelve fourteen-inch and twenty-five-inch rifles, the same armament as her sister ship, the Pennsylvania, that was recently launched at Newport Bay. The Indiana's thirteen inch guns were identical with those aboard the famous old Oregon, which played their part in the battle of Santiago. With the fourteens of the Arizona in her turrets, the Oregon could have halted any one of the feeling Spanish ships almost without leaving her station. The Arizona's guns have a range, even at the low elevation of American navy mounts, of fifteen miles or eight or nine miles for the old thirteens. The Arizona is the fourth battleship built by the United States in its own navy yard at New York. The others MISS EBTHER BOSS, SPONSOR FOR THE ARIZONA. were the Connecticut, the Dreadnought Florida and the super-Dreadnought New York, at present one of the largest, swiftest and most powerful of American fighting craft. Against the New York's displacement of 27,000 tons, however, the Arizona displaces 31,400 tons and measures 600 feet in length and ninety-seven feet six inches in width. She will mount twelve fourteen-inch guns to the ten fourteen cars carried by the Texas, and they will be carried three to a turret, as aboard the Pennsylvania. Immediately the keel of the navy department's greatest experiment in naval construction, the electrically driven super-Dreadnought California, will be laid at the New York navy yard. She will be nearly 1,000 tons heavier than the Arizona, although carrying the same equipment and arrangement of guns, but is expected to develop a greater speed than the twenty-one knots desired of the Arizona. Comparing the most recent government built battleship to the first turret, navy officials point to the fact that although the Arizona has twelve guns, the Arizona's four and displaces 15,400 tons, being nearly twice as large, she will only 915 men as against the 1,012 men who are needed to handle the smaller ship. This is due to the improvement in mechanical appliances for battleships in the last decade and also to the fact that oil has been substituted for coal as fuel, decreasing the necessary fire room force and that only two sizes of guns compose her armament against the four sizes aboard the Connecticut. The Navy sponsored by Miss Ether Rose of New York, named by Governor Hunt of Arizona. As she lies in the water today the ship has cost the government $7425,000. An even greater sum will go for her guns and armor and other equipment, and when she goes into commission her cost to the country will have reached the huge total of $16,000,000 or more. This cost represents a reduction of nearly $500,000 in guns and armor, according to the navy department, under the prices paid for the Pennsylvania's offensive and defensive capabilities in dealing with contracts for the Army in the secretary Daniels demanded competitive bidding and succeeded in effecting the saving.

After being closed for hundreds of years, Spain has thrown open her doors to the Jews. Several centuries ago Spain was a great power. The gold torn from the helpless Indians in the Americas was poured into the country. Drunk with power, when not engaged in bull fighting, the Spanish people were busy with the Inquisition—that is every one who refused to accept the true (?) faith was subjected to the most horrible tortures. The Jews would not renounce their religion and further infuriated the Spaniards by gaining wealth while the haughty caballeros, too lazy to work or attend to business were reduced to poverty. This was too much so, the Jews were expelled. From that moment proud Spain started on the down grade. One by one her colonies gained their independence and she was practically stripped of her possessions when the United States took the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico. Now rich arrogant Spain has been humilated, her industries are paralyzed and her people threatened with starvation. The invitation for the Jews to return to Spain was not actuated by any altruistic motives. Gold is the magic word which causes the gates closed for centuries to swing open; they have been opened with the idea of reaping through the skill of the Jews in trading, a share of the rich Latin-American trade harvest now awaiting first comers. In a short time it is expected that thousands of Jews now living in the Balkans and the war-streken area will respond to the official welcome and return to Spain. Spain has learned as all countries must learn that racial and religious prejudice is a costly fad. JAPANESE OUTWIT CHRISTIANS.

The Japanese government has adopted a proposal made by the governor-general of Korea to eliminate the teaching of Christianity from every Korean school, denominational or undenominational. Bishop Bashford, who represents the Methodist Episcopal church interests in Korea has returned to the United States and will present to President Wilson an appeal that he protest to Japan against the action which bars bible instruction from denominational schools. The act already passed gives ten years for the closing of the schools, but those who have read it and are familiar with the situation say it may be only five years until the denominational schools will be closed for the Jaanese government has planned to establish shintoism, which elevates the Mikado to the position of supreme ruler, and makes the state religion the supreme religion. One of the recent demands made on China is that Buddhism must be taught in the schools of the "Flowery Kingdom." The Chinese, poor weak people that they are were beginning to accept Christianity, but the Japanese, great according to western Christian standards, in a strong army and navy, efficient instruments in killing their fellow men, realize that the introduction of Christianity would mean the crushing of the yellow man, have determined to prevent Asiatics from taking the viper into their bosoms. Not only must Asia be kept for Asiatics but an Asiatic religion of some kind must be kept for the people. The Japanese have seen the dismemberment of Africa by so-called Christian nations. They know that millions of black people were stolen from their homes by Christian traders and sold into Christian slavery in Christian America. They know that Christian colored men, born in the United States, are denied their rights of citizenship by Christians of another color. Anti-Japanese legislation in California and other western states tells them what they may expect from American Christians. The Japanese are a wise peep and in limiting Christian activity they have probably saved their country from destruction. NO JIMCROWISTS NEEDED More than two hundred colored men are applicants for presidential appointments under President Wilson. A few are high class men, but we fear the majority are lacking in one vital point—manhood. Many have made it known that they would gladly accept a place with the understanding that it would be run along the color line. They have agreed that they would segregate the colored employees in their offices. It is disgusting to think that there are such cattle on earth, but THE APPEAL has it on reliable authority that such is the case. Such men should not receive official recognition. They would work great injury to the people as a whole. Segregation is too great a price to pay for political appointment and if any such brute is appointed by the President the colored people of the country ought to see to it that his confirmation is prevented. The few colored Democrats who have the ear of the Administration should adopt the slogan: No recommendations for jimcrowists. It would be better that the colored people remained without representation than to have a cowardly cur in the place. And better still: If Bishop Walters and others who are presumed to have THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma scientious discharge to stand alone; the ant, intolerant juic demn, the counten may be averted, a friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w ances of relatives I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Summer. se when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against he and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. he must speak and right the wrongs of or Wilcox. power with the Administration would tell the President that the colored people prefer justice to offices and that it would please them better to have the ban of segregation lifted than to have a dozen appointments. Such an action would be a public service worthy of the highest praise and would mean undying fame for the men who did it. Will they have the moral courage to propose it? MUST COME CLEAN. 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." CHICKEN STEALING DE LUXE. One of the chestnuts which has done duty in minstrelsy for more than a generation is the old He about the "nigger" chicken the thief who sneaked into the hen coop in the darkness, grabbed the birds, stuck them into a bag and slunk away in the night. 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. n who in the con- gge 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- A PHILANTHROPISTS (?) 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 $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? "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 AP-PEAL 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: 'I is in an essential episodes grounded in historical events 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 carmelters. 'What happened with the Negro ascendant and how the white re-established his supremacy is shown with obvious natural sympathy for the negro, in a world with a brightening of effect as dramatic art, 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 of the state governments of the south was under the newly enfranchised blacks controlled by the northern carpattaggers. 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. Sectional animosity was bitter and intense. The Republican party was looked upon as the enemy of 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 percent of the white men of that section—men who were the ner born, many of them ex-Confederate 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 leadership they loyally and faithfully followed. I do not hesitate to assert that the reconstructed state governments at the south were the best govements those states ever had before or have ever had since. There never was a state that had ever physically "Negro domination," or even bagging domination, in any one of the reconstructed states. The play to which you refer, instead of being "grounded on historical misrepresentation, without having a single actual fact as the basis of its results," is grounded on historical misrepresentation, without having a single actual fact as the basis of its results, in fact a friction pure and simple, painted from the prejudiced imagination, with a false and deceptive background as a basis 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 alleges with not a single background fabrications to support them, their production can 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 suppressed. No good can come but much harm may result. In this is, therefore, the duty of the authorities 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 source who keep this so-called race problem constantly before the public. The first class is composed of those who communicate publicly simply for the dollars and cents they can 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 injustice is done to any people or race as long as they can accomplish the purpose desired. They know there is not a particle of truth in anything new or produce relative to this matter that make to them? The office sacker 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 find that this is the one question upon which they can hold the white men of the south in abject political subjection and upon which the average white man at the north 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 indefensible for the purpose of preventing "great emigration," just so long will this state of affection hope that the eyes of the people will eventually be opened and that justice and fair play for all will be the accepted rule of action in all parts of our country. JOHN R. LYNCH, Author of "The Facts of Reconstruction." "LOOK FOR THE MAN." The press dspatches 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. 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 became insanely jealous and killed her. That's all. "WHY AMERICANS FAIL." It is a notorious fact that in spite of Pan-American congresses, long-winded editors 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 Fail:" "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 "Tankee 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. Race prejudice is an expensive proposition for those who indulge in it. THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG. For many years the South has opposed higher education and is not generally in favor of any kind of education for the masses, and to suggest that a colored person ought to receive a classical education is sufficient to throw a Southerner into hysterics. There's a reason. Rev. George H. Atkinson, president of the Albemarle Norman and Industrial Institute, Albemarle, N. C., is now in the North "raising funds" as so many other Southern beggars of various colors have done, prior to Rev. Atkinson's arrival. In a recent speech, the reverend gentleman said: "We believe if you educate a man in the South he will become dissatisfied and move to the North, where opportunities seem to be more numerous. His education, therefore, does not help the South. THE APPEAL congratulates the editors of the California colored journals on the strong fight they are making against a jim crow day at the Panama-Pacific exposition. Let the colored men who exhibit go in as Americans. Keep up the fight, Brothers Outlook and New Age. The colored people who have been in this country for many generations are Americans and they ought to be Americans. To call themselves "negro" means to be set aside from other Americans. The very word "negro" spells segregation. The colored people of Richmond, Va., have started to fight segregation. They have held a meeting of protest and are new raising money to pay lawyers. That's the way to do it. This hellish segregation business must be fought to a finish. THE SEASONS EVENT!

Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefencing is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some people, questions of the rights of colored people constitute. Constitution, of the people of California have the possible. They simply can not discuss the subject. While this is the case in this country, we have enough to do in cleansing our own blood of germs of conflict without thinking it our main business to reach across the water in restraint of war. War is incipient among us in these matters, and cruel barbaricities frequent enough, to keep us busy reforming ourselves. Billy Sunday speaks out emphatically crobatically and ungrammatically almost every wrong in the country—except in violence. If he wants to show that he is brave man, not afraid to tackle anything, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against prejudice. F. D. McCracken Appointed Mr. F. D.

Attest: ITALY ADDS TO TRADE TROUBLES DIPLOMACY'S EFFORTS VAIN Britton and German Red Tape Effectively Closed Practically All Commercial Channels—Americans Who Seek Imports Are Forced to Wait Until Termination of the War. New York.—The entrance of Italy into the European war has added greatly to the embarrassments attending American commercial relations with Europe. These have been growing more serious in the last three months. The dispositions of both Great Britain and Germany have been persistently less and less considerate of the interests of neutrals, and lately a feeling of disgust with all effort to carry on certain lines of foreign trade with the continent has taken possession of some of the business elements in this country, much to the regret of the commercial agencies of the government. Only a few days ago a Chicago business man told a story of his own experience that illustrated this attitude: "I have an order of $50,000 worth of drugs, chemicals, medicines and the like," he said, "bought and paid for in Germany. If I could get the goods into this country I could easily make $60,000 profit on them. But between the German stringencies about exporting things that they fear may help enemy countries and the allies' restrictions against commerce getting out of and into Germany I have found it useless to push the matter." The difficulties that can be thrown in the way of simple commercial transactions when both Germany and England show a disposition to oppose them are illustrated by the case of a consignment of potash which was destined to an American fertilizer manufacturer. This concern, having been for years in the regular business of buying potash from Germany, had a large credit with the syndicate which controls the potash production and in which the German government holds a control. There was no question about the payment for the potash, because the money was already in the syndicate's hands. The British authorities objected to the potash going out on the ground that they are trying to prevent commerce in general with Germany. But the particular case was so innocent that after a good deal of discussion the British authorities agreed to let this shipment come out. Up to this time the Germans seemed anxious that the deal should be made. But just so soon as they learned that Britain had given way Berlin began to find objections. There must be absolute assurance that the potash would be used only for fertilizer making. This assurance was given, together with the promise that the American government authorities would be responsible for the execution of the pledge. But at this point further conditions were imposed. The Germans wanted inspectors, representing the American government, to follow the potash to the factories, watch all the processes and then certify that it had been used, all of it, for fertilizer. This point was at length arranged. Then it occurred to the Germans that they would like to have an inspector of their own to inspect the American government inspector, see that he did his inspecting correctly—and half his expenses to be paid on this side. That proved the last straw. The negotiation was dropped, and there is no present chance of that potash getting to this side till after the war. Large movements of oils, dyes, chemicals, drugs, medicines, potash and various other German specialties are held up now by reason of the attitudes of both Germany and Britain. There has seemed to be little choice between the two countries so far as concerns their insistence on unreasonable conditions for commerce. The British attitude toward shipments of cotton has been especially demoralizing to that trade. Commercial authorities of this government realize that Great Britain is determined at any hazard to keep cotton out of Germany. In the effort to do this the whole movement of cotton to the continent has become involved. About twenty-five cargoes of cotton are now held up, according to the authorities here, and there is no knowing what will be the final determination of the whole problem. The British willingness to take over and pay for cargoes that are seized does not give satisfaction from any point of view, while the delays in getting the business settled are constantly more and more annoying. With the war area being extended by the appearance of Italy among, the belligerents new complications and difficulties in the Mediterranean are certain. Down to the present the allies have been very considerate of Italian susceptibilities for obvious political reasons, and Mediterranean traffic has been mainly exempted from the onerous conditions imposed elsewhere. But Italy is now with the allies, and her forces will be united with theirs in extending the restrictions to Mediterranean traffic suspected of possibly being destined to any of the enemies of Italy and her allies.

Northwestern Stamp Works. MANUFACTURERS OF EXTRACTS FROM THE DECISION OF JUDGE KELLY, GRANTING THE MOTION OF LAWYER "Ordered that the motion of the defendant for an order vacating the verdict of the jury and directing that judgment, notwithstanding the verdict, be entered in favor of sald defendant in Grim Baptist Church is granted and sald judgment entered accordingly. "The plaintiff undertook to prove an established custom of the congregation in use by it prior to his being installed as pastor, which required such notice of ninety days. One respectable member of long standing testifies tending to sustain this claim. He such a respectable members as witnesses that any such custom ever prevailed. Besides this the congregational records for over fifteen years tend to show that no such custom had ever prevailed or had ever been acted upon. With these' church records and with the almost unanimous testimony of the congregation against plaintiff's claims, the judge in his favor cannot be sustained." "Even if a custom of this sort, requiring three months' notice from the congregation to plaintiff to dispense with his services, existed, he had such notice when on January 11th, 1914, the church officers in the name of the congregation and by its authority, demanded his resignation. No special form of notice was necessary and by this demand plaintiff received over three months' notice from the people." In any event, I am satisfied that taking the most favorable view of plaintiff's case, he has no just and legal claim against these people for three months' salary, which he never earned and never intended to earn. Mr. McDonald, upon the advice of his attorneys, has abandoned all further proceedings and paid the costs incurred by the church and dismissed the action. SOME REAL ESTATE SNAPS.
