NO. 34 Forty Knot Missile Probably Hit and Sunk the Lusitania. Extreme Range of a torpedo is 4,000 Yards, but at 1,000 Yards it is Much More Effective—Varies In Length From Fourteen to Nineteen Feet and Has Machinery For Guidance. New York—The German torpedo or torpedoes that destroyed the Lustmina were fired at a range of not more than 1,000 yards, and the torpedoes themselves probably traveled at a speed in excess of forty knots. The submarine or submarines from which the weapons were discharged were submerged not more than fifteen feet, and they had plenty of time to get the exact torpedoes were discharged. Furthermore, the torpedoes were of the most modern and powerful type and of the highest possible speed. That is the opinion of many of the American officers, all of whom have closely followed the German submarine activities since the underwater war was started by the Germans seven months ago. The extreme range of a torpedo was explained by these officers, is about 4,000 yards, but the evidence to be had indicates that all the German submarine work is being done at short range, perhaps less than 1,000 yards. At the lesser range the speed of the torpedo is greater and the aim correspondingly more accurate. At the 4,000 yard range the speed of a modern torpedo should be between twenty-seven and thirty knots, at 3,000 yards about thirty knots, at thirty-three and thirty-six knots. At lesser ranges the speed may vary from thirty-five to forty knots. One of the American officers stated that in Charles W. Domyli-Fife's book, entitled "Submarine Engineering of Today," there is a chapter on "The Life of a Torpedo," which describes in understandable language and in a direct way these terrible missiles of war. "A first class battleship takes the best part of three years to build and may cost anything from $5,000,000 upward," the author writes. "This顽orous ship of war can be sent to the bottom of the sea in but a few minutes if struck by a torpedo. "The modern torpedo varies in length fourteenth to nineteenth feet and weighs one hundred tons in an extreme range of 4,000 yards. The bluish or 'war head,' as it is called, is the business end of the torpedo and contains the dry and wet guncotton and the fulminate of mercury necessary for the explosion. Behind the explosive head is the air chamber to hold the compressed air by which motive power is furnished. Then we come to the search chamber or 'brain' of the torpedo, and the mechanical mechanism for directing and controlling the machine. Next comes the engine room and at, the tail of the torpedo, the buoyancy chamber. "Every one of these little peculiarities indulged in by the torpedo is noted in the history sheet and referred to before the weapon is again fired. By this means all the slight defects can be allowed for and a much more accurate aim obtained. It is the duty of the torpedo lieutenant to make up all the 'history sheets' on a vessel, and he may be almost looked upon as a schoolchild to understand and manage them, but not often during trials, a torpedo is lost. Perhaps days afterward the trunts turn up, either washed ashore or towed in by some fishermen after having torn their nets to pieces. "A small chamber in the torpedo carries compressed air. This helps to sink it to the required depth after it has entered the water. This air, escaping from the chamber by means of a regulating valve, drives the engine at a high rate of speed, which is almost uniform throughout the trip from the tube to the target. The engines turn two wheels, the torpedo, and the torpedo. These revolve on the same axis but in opposite direction, the object being to give stability to the weapon. "The steering is effected by vertical rudders, which keep the torpedo in the required direction, while the proper depth in the water—usually from ten to fourteen feet—is maintained by horizontal rudders. The torpedo is kept submerged by means of the balance chamber and is controlled in its steering by the wonderful instrument known as the gyroscope. This mechanism that in favorable circumstances a torpedo well aimed may be depended upon to strike in a yard or two of the spot aimed at. Briefly described, the gyroscope is a rotating wheel which automatically controls the torpedo's course. "The method of firing a torpedo is very much like that of discharging a gun. It is expelled from a torpedo tube by compressed air. Upon reaching the water the torpedo is driven by its screws in the required direction. The gun is by a very efficient invention called a firearm. This is a little brass instrument fitted with 'sights' like a gun. When the sights are aligned on the enemy the officer in charge presses a key, and electricity causes the discharge." SQUIRRELS DIG UP FOSSILS. Little Diggers Reveal Ancient Indian Graveyard. Santa Monica, Cal.—A peculiar discovery has been made, a fossil bed up the coast at the mouth of Topanga canyon. Some years ago a man living there unearthed some excellent specimens of fossils and supposed Indian bones. Recently a large heap of black dirt was noticed at the edge of the beach, and upon investigation it proved to be the burrow of a family of squirrels. The little diggers had piled on the surface of the sandy soil perhaps 250 pounds of black sand, in which were pieces of clam shells, fossils and bits of human bone. There were even rocks weighing close to two pounds. The dirt was just as it had been dumped by the animals, and bones and fossils were mixed together with the rocks and sand. The bones have been identified as those of human beings, several specimens showing conclusively that they at one time had constituted the framework of a stalwart Indian brave. Diggers have been advanced by men interested in osteology, but no definite conclusions have been reached. They think that the bones are those of Indians, but that they are hundreds of years old. The squirrels must have burrowed many feet, or else the beach in the years past was nearer to the mountains than it is at present. That is natural, for the change is made by the yearly washing of quantities of sand and rocks from the interior down to the mouth of the canyon. The old burying ground is now probable, and shows the surface, and only the busy little ground squirrels know the exact location of the rest of the bones. GALLIPOLI GUARDS TURKISH PENINSULA Was Once a Beautiful City, but Has Gone to Decay. Washington.—"The city of Gallipoli, toward which the allied forces are fighting, guards the neck of the Gallipoli peninsula, where the peninsula joins the mainland, near the elbow formed by the Dardanelles strait and the Sea of Marmora," begins a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society. The description of this key position to the best protected of all of the world's water avenues, a position to which the interest of all the nations is centered with much questioning, continues. "Gallipoli is the last bar that looks the Dardanelles, and secures Marmora sea as a Turkish lake. It is a powerfully fortified city, its defensive works having been begun in modern style in 1878, when the Russians threatened to take possession of Constantinople. The work of strengthening this port has been carried on at irregular intervals since. When the Bulgarians, were attacking the lines at Chatkalia, the Turks, who felt that they might expect an endeavor to turn their flanks by way of Gallipoli and Marmora sea, were upon the port's reddoubt. While Gallipoli was not comparable in strength to the great successes of Europe, it, nevertheless, with its modern batteries and extensive outworks, forms a proper conclusion to the mighty fortified water lane leading down to the Aegean sea. "This 'city beautiful' of the Greeks (Kallipolis) was the first point in Europe to be won and maintained by the Ottoman hordes. It is today anything but a beautiful city. Its streets are narrow, immethodical and dirty, most of its houses are overworn wooden structures, in which decay and untidiness mix to an unpleasing picture. There are few buildings of any architectural interest, though the great leader domed bazaars appeal to the imagination of the westerner. Some few and uncared for relics of eastern empire and Grecian times have been left to normal decay by the Turks. "Until Turkish occupation and the putting into effect of the suspicious, intolerant and shortsighted policies of exclusion and exclusiveness of the Gallic land, desired destined, as a well placed port upon one of nature's natural avenues, will come one of the greatest of all the commercial cities of the near east. Through the centuries of Turkish rule it has slept an almost dreamless sleep. Today, with a population of 25,000, with few ambitions and little understanding of its advantages, it has, however, under the Young Turk regime, given some evidence of a reawakening." NOT A NIBBLE; FINED $20. Angler Finds He Doesn't Have to Catch Fish to Be a Fisherman. Perth Amboy, N. J. It isn't necessary to catch fish to be a fisherman in New Jersey. Alec Buckowksit was sedated beside Kesler's pond with a pole and line in his hand. He had had a bite and be arrived there at daybreak. But a game warden got him, and Justice Pickersgill ruled that he was a fisherman and fined him $20 for not having a license. Order to Shave Stirs French. Paris. The decision of the military authorities that soldiers at the front must be clean shaven as a hygienic measure, brought forth a storm of protest from a lawyer of bearded men on the firing line. BET WAR WILL END BY SEPT. 1 BIG SUPPLY OF AMMUNITION British Expert Thinks That the Side That Can Kill the Most Men Will Win in the End-Asserts That Germany Has a Sufficient Supply of Food to Last Year. London—There is probably no question asked more frequently just now that: "When do you think the war will end?" Opinions differ widely, as is only natural when there is so little real information to go upon. Betting in the city is quoted as being, that the war will end: Before May 1, 1915—3 to 1 against Before June 1, 1915—2 to 1 against Before Sept. 1, 1915—even. Before Dec. 1, 1915-10 to 1 on. Before March 1, 1915-10 to 1 on. This certainly indicates a more optimistic feeling than anything said by ministers and other important authorities would seem to justify, though all of these are careful not to commit the error of generality. Generally speaking, the highly placed authorities are grave in tone, and preparations of all kinds are going on with increasing vigor. Lord Southwark announced at the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce that he was authorized by Lord Kitchener to say that since the beginning of the war "we have increased the output of war material 300 times in excess of what it was before. He added that under the bill we were discussing in the house of lords he hoped and expected the mission of labor which would enable him enormously to increase the supplies." Statements like this and Asquith's recent warning that the war would be a long one seem to suggest that the calculations of those who ought to know best hardly reckon on an early end to fighting. A high authority said the other day: "This war will only be ended by killing. The allies have to face Germany with an enemy so huge that she will at last refuse to fight." To the question of how big he thought that the bill would have to be answered after awhile: "That is hard to say. But I estimate the German casualties up to date at 1,250,000, and that, I think, is barely half what they will have to be. But, believe me, it is only by kill, kill, kill that they can be defeated. The question of food will not enter into it. They will have plenty of provisions. It is only by killing them that we shall make them give in." He then told me of a remark made by a German officer rescued from the Bluecher, "Have your sailors nothing better to do with their time than to save the lives of the enemy?" This, he said, was right in effect, for the death of every German soldier or sailor brought the war so much nearer to its end, but the tradition of the British navy is to save life after the defeat of the enemy. The resulting article published by a writer whose opinions have often proved well justified gives the result of an inquiry made on the spot into the present conditions in Germany. From a friend in the diplomatic corps in Berlin, who had unusual facilities for collecting the information, he obtained the following figures: There were 6,000,000 ablebodied men between nineteen and forty-five who had not served in the army up to Jan. 1. There were close upon 1,000,000 volunteers, and there were included in the erstwhile army. To these are to be added the approximately 4,000,000 now with the colors. Casualties reported up to Jan. 15 were said by the same authority to be Killed, 153,000; wounded, 574,000; missing and prisoners, 162,000, making a total of 888,000. An estimate of the losses up to Feb. 1 makes the killed, wounded and missing or prisoners approximately 1,289,000. Allowing for the return to the firing line of only one third of the wounded, the irrelevant loss in fighting material is estimated at 1,089,000 officers and men up to Feb. 1. Making allowance for another six weeks of fighting, this estimate differs little from the 1,250,000 of the English authority referred to above. WEALTHY BOY JOINS NAVY. Passadena Millionaire Gives Consent When His Son Enlists. Los Angeles, Cal.-Donald Murphy, nineteen years old, son of A. M. Murphy, a Passadena millionaire, is at Mare Island, San Francisco, where he enlisted for three years' service in the navy. Young Murphy drove up to the naval recruiting office in Spring street in his automobile, accompanied by his parents. "I want to enlist as a sailor in the American navy," he said to the officer in charge. His father and mother gave their consent. He passed the physical and mental examination and then was enlisted. Re-entering the automobile, he went to the Santa Fe train for Mare Island. Murphy was graduated from the Passadena 'high school. EDISON WINS HONOR MEDAL. Forum Decorates Him as American Who Has Done Most For Mankind. New York—Thomas A. Edison has been voted the American who has done most for mankind and has received the Civic Prize honor for distinguished public services This medal, established to give recognition on the part of the rank and file of the American people to that one of their countrymen who in ways of peace performs some signal public service, was awarded last year for the first time to Colonel George W. Goethals for his work at Pahama. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University; presided at the reception, and the speakers in English and Marconi, inventor of the wireless; Charles P. Breismetz, consulting engineer; General Electric company; Dr. Richard C. Maclaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Charles A. Coffin, chairman of the board of directors of the General Electric company. Percy Mackaye read a poem written for the occasion. OREGON MEN NOT "FRESH." Women "Hiked" It Alone, Unarmed and Unmolested. Eugene, Ore. - Five Eugene young women have just finished a "hike" of sixty miles along the Oregon coast unarmed and unafraid of stories of bears told them at virtually every;price they were willing to pay, weighing almost twenty pounds and few chances at finding shelter each night. They proudly boast that not one man "got fresh" and that it would be quite possible for a woman to walk all over Oregon alone without being molested. The "hikers" were Miss Frieder Goldsah, Mrs. Jeffrey Thompson, Dr. Bertha Stewart, Miss Thompson, Dr. Miss Myrhea Hepburn. Four are members of the University of Oregon faculty. CHEMISTRY ABOLISHES WORK WITH THE HOE Weeds Killed by Arsenic and Much Labor Is Saved. Washington.-Officials of the department of agriculture are greatly interested in reports received from Hawaii, to the effect that one of the big sugar companies has adopted as a regular field practice the system of destroying weeds by use of *nm* arsenic poisoning agents. Experts who have conducted experiments on Hawaii sugar lands estimate that by the spraying method a saving can be made in labor of $15 to $30 per acre per annum. The latest developments along this line in Hawaii are discussed in a letter received from Professor H. P. Age, director of the experiment station staff of the Hawaii Sugar Planters' association. Bee专家 Hee-koo Hawali, professor Age co-operated with the department in experiments on Louisiana sugar land. The value of this method in Hawaii is very great, because of the fact that, like most tropical regions, the islands are subject to torrential rains. The less the surface of sugar and other lands is disturbed by cultivation the more rain will wash off the soil or immediately beat it into compact form. A few years ago the department of agriculture issued a bulletin dealing with the weed factor in the cultivation of corn, following a series of experiments extending over several years, which apparently established the principle that it is the removal of the weeds in corn by the weeds that contributes most to the production of the corn crop. A series of 125 experiments were conducted, covering many states. On some plots the most approved methods of cultivation were employed, while on other plots there was no cultivation whatever, the weeds being eliminated by surface scraping with a hoe. A general average of all these experiments were simply weeded produced. 95.1 per cent as much fodder and 99.108 per cent as much grain as those that were subjected to the most approved methods of cultivation. The arsenic spray method will be given a trial on cornland in Louisiana this year by experts of the office of farm management in co-operation with the weed control department, determining whether it is not available for use in that region, where climatic conditions to some extent approach those in Hawaii. SKINS WAY TO DEGREE. Student Pays Expenses by Trapping Muskrats. Beloit, Wls.-A student at Beloit is literally skimming his way through college. He is Edwin M. Dahlberg of Cherry Valley, Ill., a senior, and he has earned a large portion of his college education by training muskrats on the Rock river near this city. Dahlberg began to emulate Daniel Boone last fall. He set a string of traps along the river above the city. Every morning he would visit them starting out in his canoe at 5 o'clock. Drifting downstream, he would skin his catches on the way back to Beloit. He cured the pets on some rattlers in the woods, which sometimes were upholstered by several hundred skims at a time. Greatest Naval Power of World Now Attempting to Reduce Strongest Land Fortifications—Mohmed V. Grants Interview to Correspondents and Lauds Valor of His Troops and the Germans. Constantinople—One of the most interesting developments that the war has brought about is the great effort of the allies to force the Dardaneleas strait and the superb resistance that the Turkish defenders, assisted by the German officers, have been able to display. This bombardment, in which the strongest naval powers in the world are attempting to reduce the strongest land fortifications in the world, will go down in history as the most spectacular naval engagement of all time. Each shot fired by the allied fleet is felt in all parts of the world. Stored away in Russia, without an outlet, there are thousands and thousands of bushels of wheat that the world is clamoring for. Unless the forts are forced to must remain there, for there is no other outlet. If the strait is penetrated ever, this grain will flood the world's markets and the price of wheat will fall over the globe. The allies are confident that they can reduce these remarkable fortifications. The defenders are likewise certain that the task is impossible. This is what the sultan of Turkey said to a group of American correspondents: "I am convinced that the Dardanes cannot be forced. The brave conduct of the Turkish troops in the recent operations against the strait permits me to conclude that although the allies bend every effort and use every means at their disposal they will be unable to achieve their purpose." The various phases of the bombardment were discussed by his majesty in a mannequin demonstrating that he was well informed of the affair. Mehmed V. was in most cordial frame of mind. Many of the incidents related by the correspondents brought to the sultan's face broad smiles of satisfaction, appreciation and amusement. How the correspondents had been obliged to make a hasty retreat when Kale Sultania was reached by the allies' shells appeared to be of special interest to his majesty. When one of the correspondents told the sultan that he had made nervous in Chanak ka Essl by the explosions of large shells, which impelled him to stoop at every detonation, and how an old interpreter, who also was retreating, touched him on the arm saying, "Yook kismet." the sultan was named a touched the newspaper man on the shocked a most fathery fashion and proceeded to explain that the use of the word "kismet" was improper under such circumstances. "The old man should have used the word 'kader', because that term expresses more fully what he wanted to convey," said his majesty. "The word 'kader' means that our fate is in the hands of a superior force and that what is to happen will happen anyway. The idea is known among you, I believe, as fatalism. But 'kader alone will not do. We also must work." This incident disposed of, his majesty asked the correspondent to continue his description of the sinking of the warship Bouvet and the British Imperial Navy Bouvet and disappeared within three minutes before a look into the kindly gray eyes of his majesty as if he respected that so many human beings had perished without a chance to fight for life. The suitan then asked if his troops appeared to be happy and contented. The answer being emphatically in the affirmative, a new smile of satisfaction lit up his face. "It has been said that it was the factor of luck that made our victory on March 18 so complete and great." he remarked, "but we in the Turkish have a saying, 'Luck is infatuated with the efficient'." "It appears very unjust to me that the allies want to force the Dardanelles and take Constantinople just to import foodstuffs from Russia. But our troops have a defense force have shown their ability and will do their duty. I am speaking here not alone of the Turkish defenders of the Dardanelles, but also those Germans who have so efficiently and bravely co-operated with them. "I would thank you if you would say for me that my admiration for the German troops in the east and the west is so great that it is impossible for me to express in words my high opinion of their valor and efficiency. Concerning their chief commander, Emperor William. I can only say that we in Turkey pray that he may enjoy the best of health for many years." The sultan was informed that Emperor William was sending with Field Marshal Ibrahim Proud cresting the first and second classes, with which he intended to decorate his majesty, and the sultan appeared highly pleased. "I am proud of being presented with medals which decorate so many brave men," he said.

Dead Woman's Dogs and Cats Occupy Home That Was Here Home That Was Hers. Elizabeth, N. J.-Occupying a house in Ashwood avenue, a company of dogs and cats, which were the pets of the late Mrs. Mary Romaine Wright, will allow to enjoy undisturbed their present abode until they voluntarily seek an other home. Such request is continued in the will of Mrs. Wright. Mrs. Wright's daughter, Mrs. Frederick C. Kelley, is named to that the strange request is carried out. In accordance with the dead woman's desires her late home is kept heated and the animals fed regularly. Mrs. Kelley said she hoped the animals would become sufficiently attached to her to make their abode at her house, which is only a short distance from the Wright homestead. Mrs. Wright was well known in this vicinity as a friend of dumb animals. With her husband, the late Seaman L. Wright, she lived for more than forty years in the old homestead. DOG FINDS $1; TAKES IT HOME Shap Is Honest, but Thinks Everything Belongs to His Master. Muncle. Ind.-Edward Gottlieb of Muncle has a shepherd dog which for intelligence he believes cannot be surpassed. It is not unusual for the animal to bring home things that he finds in the streets, but the other day it surpassed all its previous achievements by coming home with a brand new $1 bill in its mouth. It is said the dog picked up the money in South Walnut street, in the center of the business district. Mr. Gottlieb is now endowing to find the person that lost the money. "Sheep does not mean to be dishonest," said his owner. "but he thinks that everything of value he sees should belong to me." 4,200 CHARACTERS ON NEW TYPEWRITER Chinese Machine Has Three Keys With 50,000 Combinations. Stenographers may be interested to learn that there is a new sort of typewriter which has just been invented by a young student in the engineering department of New York university. The machine is different from the typewriters familiar to the average person in several respects. For instance, the "standard" keyboard has twenty-six letters and in most cases a dozen keys devoted to figures punctuation marks, while the new machine has 4,000 characters in all and only three keys. One of the three keys is a back spacer, another the space key and the third is the key with which the 4,200 characters are struck. It is possible, according to the inventor, to make more than 4,200 characters by combinations of "radicals," or base characters. About 50,000 combinations can be made by the machine, the inventor said. That stenographers ambition to operate the new typewriter will find at first their task a little difficult, at least, was indicated by the fact that it required two hours to write the first letter typed by the machine. This letter contained approximately 100 words, but the operator was unfamiliar with the 4,200 characters. Stenographers of this city who do not work in export or import houses dealing with China, are not apt to be called on to memorize the new keyboard for some time. The machine is said to be the first Chinese typewriter ever invented. Heuen Chl, the student inventor, demonstrated the method by which the machine worked. He conceived the idea that a typewriter could be made to write Chinese while he was at his home in southern China three years ago. he said. He began a study of the Chinese dictionary at once to isolate the "radical" or base characters in the typewriter. He represents a whole word in Chinese, though, according to Heuen Chl, thousands of these characters are made up of simpler characters which alone represent words themselves. He continued studying the forms of the language during a year and, a half he spent at London university and began work on his typewriter. Heuen came to this country as a government student and on the prompting of Chinese officials who had been interested in his scheme took up the study of engineering at New York University and worked on the invention. He completed the model a short time ago and has patented it in this country, China and Japan, for it also writes Japanese, which, he said, is similar to Chinese. FRANCE IMPROVES MATCHES. Had Long Been the Worst In the World, but No One Complained. Paris--For forty years France has endured the worst matches in the world uncomplainingly because the government took the monopoly, manufacturing cheap and selling dear, as one means of paying the German war debt. Now, however, bik, cheap wood matches, easy to strike, have replaced the polished tipped splinters that nearly choked up smokers or obstructively refused to light. The newspapers do not chronicle the reform or its reason. $2.40 PER YEAR DIPLOMACY'S EFFORTS VAIN Briton and the German Red Tape Effectively Closes Practically All Commercial Channels—Americans Who Seek Imparts 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 anarchists. 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 and they fear may help enemy countries 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 from Germany, had a large credit with him. Which controls the potash production 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 up. To up 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 consideration with the promise that the German inspectors represented 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 dropped, and there is no present chance to get his 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. German attitude toward shipments of cotton has been especially deteriorating 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 cogents 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 forger the goods 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 able to impose 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 Mediterranea and of possibly being destined to any of the enemies of Killy and her allies.

Woodward, mayor of Atlanta, Ga., speaking what was on his mind at the Dixie day celebration of the San Francisco exposition, gave expression to the identical thought that we knew would prevail in the state which permitted the murder of Leo M. Frank. Mr. Woodward, exalted by the knowledge that the freemen of his commonwealth had arisen against the authority of the commonwealth, grave his approval to the act. He spoke as we expect misguided southerners to speak. They have more rhapsody for southern blood and the sanctity of southern women than would be needed by a nation of Don Quixotes, but they thoroughly lack the idealism and the continence of the Spanish don whose language they feebly imitate. He meant what he said. They are content to talk about it. The north, with its more ordered ways and its faulty but better civilization, thinks more and talks less of the sanctity of women than the rhetorical south. What the South needs is less rhetoric and more work. Southerners already have protested that The Tribute is vindictive and unlust, unjust and malignant in its abuse of a whole section of the country for the work of twenty-five men.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. The answer is that the work of the twenty-five has the approval of the voting and controlling populace. The answer is that the twenty-five did what the people of Georgia and the people of the South wanted done, and did what the people of the South tolerate, defend, and advocate. The South needs to feel that its code of conduct is so primitive and so brutal that it has involved the whole country in disrepute. It has made the American nation stand in world opinion for inhuman burning of convicted or suspected persons, for passions which cannot find expression nowadays among savages. The South needs a brutal, uncompromising, even unjust denunciation. It needs one which will not even consider the South's tremendous limitations. It needs one which will not stop to weigh and take account of causes, but which will go directly to the results and treat those results as if they had no explicable cause. What the South needs is a tongue lashing and a continued tongue lashing of the most violent kind. It needs to feel isolated from the respect of the nation which is compromised by the acts it defends. We do not say that the North is free from the spirit which flares up in the South. We know it is not free. The North is able to show an act of violence for every one exhibited in the South, but the North does not conden them nor defend them, and it does endeavor to get at the causes which produce them. The South needs every bitter word which can be said against it. It needs to know that when it parades the sanctity of its women it is making a display of something the rest of the nation assumes and holds too high to spend useless words upon. Action, not eloquence, is demanded of the South. The need is that it feel its disgrace and correct so far as is humanly possible the causes of bad government and of bad thought which are expressed in the conditions it tolerates. We are not ignoring the great problem which it has in the Negro. We simply assert that the South has permitted its problem to work out to the utter confusion of its governmental agencies and the confusion of its political thought. It must, if it is to rehabilitate and regenerate itself, correct its opinion and stop exhausting itself in rhetoric and damning itself by act. It must put community lawfulness superior to individual lawlessness. It is a concern of the nation that the southern states should re-establish themselves as respected units in a union. And if nothing but abuse can bring them to a realization that their ways are unworthy of their traditions and of the history of the American republic, then the abuse ought to be given them until the tongue of the abuser is tired, even if the sensibilities of the abused cannot be hurt and the sense of the abused aroused. THE APPEAL approves of every word of the foregoing editorial from the Chicago Tribune and wishes to add a few words of excoriation of the contemptible colored curs who continually praise the southern people and condone many of their infamous acts. It is not only contemptible but criminal. The extension of race prejudice in the North has been greatly aided by these fiends in human form who have been paid in cash or the appellation of "good negro" to laud the brutal, barbarous, unhuman, unchristian THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma sclentious dischara to stand alone; th ant, intolerant ju demn, the counter may be averted, friends grow cold, duty done shall be applause of the w 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. un-American South. When the Georgia senate recently passed a law forbidding white persons to teach colored pupils some of these human skunks rushed into print to defend the action, saying that it would benefit the colored man. The white Georgians who burn and hang and legislate against their colored fellow citizens are saints when compared with colored men who condone their crimes. THAT RICHMOND FAIR Under the above heading the Star of Norfolk, Va., prints the following: Today ends the existence of one of the greatest farces that has ever been inflicted upon the people of this section of the country. Sometimes ago the congress of the United States appropriated the sum of fifty-five thousand dollars to assist in celebrating the fiftieth year of the Negro's freedom in this land, and that money was entrusted to Giles B. Jackson and some other men, whom we have never heard mentioned, for the consummation of the result named; but never in all our experience and observations we have seen a more miserable failure in projecting such an affair. The Richmond people who usually make a success of any undertaking, in which any of the citizens of the progressive city is interested did not take the trouble to lose any of their time, in giving the concern the least consideration. The celebration was held in the grounds of the State Fair Association, therefore there was no necessity for the expenditure of any money for buildings or improvements and while there were a few things of interest on exhibition, there were so few that they were not of sufficient interest to command the attention of even the local people, let alone the people from other parts of Virginia or the country in general. At no time during the existence of the exposition, were there more than a few—a very few—people in attendance. The more one inquired the cause of the terrible frost, the more you were met with the answer, the affair was entirely a one-man concern, and that since the success, if any success, would be credited to Col. Giles B. Jackson, the more determined was the public to show that the failure should be attributed to the same source. That the affair was most miserably advertised and more miserably managed goes without saying, and since it was in the hands of one man, the Negroes of Richmond, of the State of Virginia and the entire country, have no regrets at its failure." THE APPEAL has always opposed the appropriation of funds for jimcrow affairs of any kind. The appropriation of $55,000 by the United States was class legislation, a thing which the colored people ought to avoid even if it seems to favor them. The colored man has no right to any special consideration and if he gets a few thousands in cash he must pay by losing some right. Jimcrow appropriations are dangerous things. The appropriation was given to Giles Jackson because he is of the ante-bellum type so loved by the South. He knew how to bow andkowtow before his "white frenz" and he got the coin. It is not strange that he arranged a "white folks day" as the great event of his todo. Let us hear no more of the appropriation of public money for jimcrow affairs. THE COLORED MAN'S STAND ARDS. The Christian Register, the leading Unitarian publication of the country, prints so excellent an article on colored man's own standards that we are constrained to print extracts from it. "White men have set standards for the colored man for many years. During slavery days the standard was mainly one of health and strength, a "good disposition" was also esirable; a "bad nigger" was harder to sell than one who would make no trouble. 'Taken altogether the standard of antebellum days for colored men was much the same as that for horses," "warranted sound and kind," and all the rest. During the war, with the splendid record of black men as soldiers, the standard held up for them by the white man shifted, though only slightly. After the war, and after the Fifteenth Amendment began to operate, the white man gradually altered his expectation of what the black could be and ought to be. Whites differ greatly to-day, both North and South, upon this question; as a rule, the more civilized the white man, the readier he is, in judging the colored man, to see his great possibilities and his remarkable progress, as already shown. The subtler problem, and more vital to the colored people, is regarding the race's standards for itself in the various arts of civilization. And his most serious obstacle is—not the injustice of his white neighbors, evident and regrettable as that is, but the danger he continuously incurs of holding up low standards of attainment for himself. If he is to compete with the white man in business, manufactures, arts, scholarship, and other pursuits, he must hold himself up to as high a standard of excellence as does the white man. As a rule, colored people do not quite come up to this; they have the faults of their qualities; they are too easily satisfied with attainment which is distinctly second-rate in the world's Brastadist. The colored musician, or painter, or artisan, or writer is too apt to measure himself by the many people below him in skill instead of keeping his eye fixed on the few who surpass him. For this reason it is good for a colored boy or girl to attend a school or college which white boys and girls attend. Well-meaning friends of the colored people have pitched such pupils of mixed schools and academies because of the many slights put upon them by careless or unfeeling white schoolmates; but people who see more deeply into the real problems or the colored race believe that it is better for such affronted young people to undergo the affronts and to remain in the keen atmosphere of white standards of custom, costume, and scholarship than to live in a mild atmosphere of half attainment. among brothers and sisters of their own race, all alike half blindly groping their slow way out of the darkness. Better that a colored boy should bear whatever slights are put upon him by certain narrow, selfish, white boys at Yale or Harvard than to drift comfortably along in some Negro school which has not got itself as yet squared to the world standards, in a world where white men rule." NOT NEEDED THE APPEAL is opposed to the plan of the Southwestern Christian Advocate to have a socalled vigilance committee at Washington. It is not necessary, as work of a similar character has been accomplished as a business proposition by the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People for the past two years and inimical legislation prevented. The colored people are not a "voteless" people. In the North they have voted for years and are still voting. The United States Supreme Court has just decided that there is to be no color line in voting in the future, so it is up to the colored people of the South to guard their rights at the fountain head. We feel that we are able to do it in Minnesota. A lobby in Washington would soon degenerate into a political machine and as it is likely that some jim-crowists would be on the committee it is possible that a committee kept up for the purpose of guarding the rights of the people would actually betray them. It is a dangerous proposition. NO CREDIT DUE SOUTH. It is sickening to read some of the slush written by colored men anent the recent Grandfather Clause decision—the give the south credit for the decision and slop over in their praise of the "Southern Christian Justices." As a matter of fact only three of the nine justices are southern men; the other six being of northern birth. The south deserves no credit whatever. The case was so clear that even the southern justices did not care to risk their names going down in history with the opprobrium which attached to Justice Taney in the Dred Scott decision. There is no reason why the south should be lauded except the bootlickers would be unhappy unless they were busy. The Louisville News is making a great fight against segregation of residences and tells the colored citizens that they can help by refusing to be segregated in other walks of life. Segregation is wrong whether in a dive or a church and any church which practices it is no better than a dive. THE NEW ABOLITION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots of 1908. After several conferences it developed and permanent headquarters at New York City. The growth of the organization has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 35,000 the platform of the association is broken and uncompromising. The official statement contains among other thinks the following strong statement and demands: "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of the country by securing to them the full rights of citizenship in the full citizens, justice in all courts and equality of opportunity everywhere. It favors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which requires the United States or perogative, class or caste. The national character of the race problem and no sectionalism. It believes in the upholding of the constitution of the United States and its amendments in the Constitution of Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of 'all men up and no man down.' It abhors Negro crime, but still more the conditions which breed crime and, the crimes committed by mobs in the midst of the city by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to be free from the oppression. It has no other desire than exact justice and no other motive than humanity." The proposed program for the ad- laid down by Dr. W. E. B. Dr. Bills "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with a half loaf or by being willing to lull our friends into a false sense of our insecurity and present satisfaction. The American values equality—political equality—and hard going to rest satisfied with anything less. He demands this in no spirit of braggadocio and with no obsequious envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only measure to assure to the darker races their ultimate success. "The colored people must have industrial freedom. Between the pennage of the rural south, the oppression of shrewd capitalists and the leaoux of certain trade unions the colored laborer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard toll for less money than any other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. "There was a time in the atomic individualistic group when "social intercourse means merely calls and talks to each other, means theaters, lectures, organizations, clubs, churches, excursions, travel, hotels—it means, in short, life, living, being, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a new world—it is to crucify them and them with not being able to live." Du.DuBois suggest five practical stens for action—first, economic co-operation; second, a revival of art and culture; third, education; fourth, education; fifth, organization "For the accomplishment of all these ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it must go much further and higher. Or it must go to the point of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of gifts—freedom and efficiency. I thank most of the money that supports the most of the education colored hands. A still larger proportion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar organizations and hold them unwaverly to our objects, our aims and our ideas. "With such organizations and with all the progress that they can point to let us never be satisfied with more progress so long as we fall so far short of reasonable accomplishments we desire, our desired today by millions of people not because we suffer, but because we suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on our side? It could be the greatest leaders here in New York, assembled thousands could congratulate his people because only fifty-two, colored men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and burned by mobs if that can give 10,000 people satisfaction, in God's name what will it take to make them fight? "As for me and those that think with me, so long as one black man in the United States is illegally punished for his race, I will not offer opportunity closed in his face we will protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends, but we must not lose our ideals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just, but it is a program of peace and patience, and in laying it down I face the great causes, if peace and patience cannot win, then war and struggle must. In any case there can be no despair, there can be no surrender, there can be no victory, nor should man draws a breath in America. He Is A Real Man (From the Pioneer-Press, Martins burgh, W. Va.)

Independent WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." You are the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential facet of work at the present to bring about the change in the segregation of the people of color. Your use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Iols and Washington feel that its retribution, and a nausea, is necessary to force the masses. The term "Negro" is not only accurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarming injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the past as a world, for anything noble or unplitting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambian. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. c. its feminine form, Negress. "It is justly and earnestly to deprive your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. it has been the word used by the Sudanese for two centuries, when formally speaking to about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably refers to f. it is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatic and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. Must Judge A Group by Its Best. No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the best and compare many persons who live in the same place, they know the colored race, with who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers that race whom their Southern friend knows, and of the two sets of people who know the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not into and appreciate; they know capable contact with the best of the race who know the vicious of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are those who know the colored race; they know the mass and by observation merely possible by individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would resemble and judgments and possibly soften their hearts, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being.

OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. (FROM the Boston (Guardian) Embitters All but Docile Negro Kalan Tribute). In many of the northern States, years ago, colored troops and maintained. One by one these states disbanded the colored troops. Georgia was better organized than any of the other states, and was the last to disband the colored troops.

He has been proscribed and debarred of many states, and are justly his and which would embitter any other race but the docile Negro. Each Victory Encourages. (From the Martinsburg Pioneer-Press).

Mrs. Verna Patterson, a resident of Goodhue county, Minn., for over fifty years, died at St. Johns hospital at Red Wing, Sunday, Aug. 15 at 3 p.m., after a lingering illness of over a year. She was born at Belvidere, Minn., May 22, 1863. She was one of nine children born to Geo. H. and Eliza Gaylord. Her father was one of the first settlers of Goodhue county, and was a civil war veteran, and his grandfather was a veteran of the Revolution. Mrs. Patterson spent her girl hood days at Red Wing attending the public schools. In 1886 she was united in marriage to Jeremiah Patterson, who passed away a little over a year and a half ago. So them were born ten children, eight of whom survive them: Chester W. of St. Paul; Arthur A. of Minneapolis; Howard A. R. Joel J, Dewey M., Nina May, Owen J and Harold G. of Red Wing. Laura Ann, the second child, died Dec. 26, 1910, and the youngest child, an infant thirteen days old, died Nov. 24, 1905. Besides the children she leaves three sisters and two brothers to mourn her death: Mora Nora Worden, of Brookings, S. D.; Mrs. Pearl Brewer, of Osage, Winn, Mrs. Rosa Trusty, of Osage, Winn, ambo, and Justus Gavlord of Savannah, Mn. Impressive funeral services were held Wednesday, Aug. 18th, at 2:30 p. m., from the residence 716 Main street and from the First M. E. church at 3:00 o'clock, Rev. E. V. Du Bois officiating. There was a very large attendance at the funeral and the floral tributes were very numerous and beautiful. The Afro-American Athletic Association. The Blues and the Grays are run. The Barkles claim that the Goinsees will have to keep moving if they want to win this race. The Blues turned in 14 more new members this week, while the Grays turned in 9. The first official report of each team will be reported next Saturday. The team having the most junior members by that time will be represented at the Boosters' benefit entertainment, by very one present wearing its color on that night. As all the money that is taken in now for membership is placed in the bank until the Association building is open, it becomes necessary for the Athletic Association to raise a fund for promotion purposes. A number of the wives and lady friends of the membership of the Association have formed a Booster Club, working with the entertainment committee on a benefit which is to be given on the 19th of this month. Never before has so much interest been taken in a movement among our people as it is now in the Athletic Association. No doubt we have begun to realize what our duties are to ourselves and fellowmen. May this spirit continue and may we all co-operate with other people trying to uplift the race. WHERE THERE IS UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. H. R. Crawford, Gen. Sec. "Beer a Food." Professor Charles Frederick Chandler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, declares that beer is the best brain food. In a recent address he said: "Beer is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and food. Amberlite beer contains 6 per cent solid food, 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cereals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and bitter food. Beer contain alcohol. Beer is not included in ordinary quantities and beer is one of the foods that is free from bacteria. It is appetizing and alds digestion. I don't believe there is any beer made in the United States that is what you call adulterated. It may be the prohibition but not adulterated. If the prohibition they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food." THE UNIQUE Seventh and Jackson THE BEST OF MOVING PICTURES W. H. BAKER, PROR. Studio of T. W.

Boys Will Have to Limit Free Visit to Fair to Opening Day. Boys intent upon gaining stolen ac- cess into the Minnesota State Fair, September 6 to 11, will find the trick extremely difficult, as a new fence is being erected around a large part of the grounds. This is not lable to work much hardship upon them, how- ever, as all children are to be ad- mitted free on the opening day, when @ record attendance is anticipated, The largest attendance ever obtained on the first day was in 1912, when 100,- 792 persons, the largest daily attend- ance ever obtained by any fair in America, passed the turnstiles. } THE CONTENANTAL LEADS Other Health and Accident Companies Follow. You know what {t means when somebody tells you, that this, that or the other health and accident policy is “as good as the Conti- nental Casualty Company’s"—it may be you feel like arguing the matter but— there's never any doubt about the Continental Casualty Company's pol- icy. Tt was the first company to write complete protection policies, the first to employ colored agents, and has kept pace with progress of the coun- try; it is the largest of all health and accident companies and is the only one that operates in every state in the union, ‘During the year 1914 the Continental collected, approximately, twice the amount of. premiums, in'the State of Minnesota, as its nearest competitor, and paid out in claims more money than any other company collected in premiums. ‘This large volume of business en- ables the Continental Casualty Com- pany to give its policy holders a little detter protection for a little less money than any of its competitors. ‘We want your business.
