THE APPEAL STEADILY GAINS BECAUSE: 4-It is the organ of ALL Afro-Americans. 5-It is not controlled by any ring or olique. 6-It asks no support but the people's. VOL. 31. NO. 38 MONEY MIXUP IF AMERICA FIGHTS Two Billions Owned by Aliens Here and In Germany. SITUATION IS COMPLICATED Forty-eight German Ships in American States Would Have to Flee or Be Seized—This Country Would Probably Give Them a Chance to Get Away and Land Where They Could. Washington.—The precise legal status of many hundreds of millions, perhaps of billions, of property in this country and others would be brought into question if the United States were to become involved in the war in Europe. Vast properties in the United States of European ownership would be liable to confiscation. Great properties, though much less in aggregate value, owned by Americans in Europe would be in the same position. Great corporations would not be permitted, it is assumed, to pay dividends on securities held by citizens of the countries with which the United States was at war. The German ships now interined in this country would be under the necessity of leaving American waters at the risk of being captured on the high seas or else being confiscated in the ports where they are now held. In all the history of warfare there has probably never been so complicated—a financial situation in international commerce that would pose a challenge between the United States and Germany if the two countries by any chance should engage in hostilities. Germans have long been large investors in the United States, particularly in securities of railroad and industrial corporations. It is now pretty well known that these investments were to a considerable degree liquidated in the last year before the war began. During that period Germany was systematically turning its investments into forms most available for quick use, and the conversion was made so skillfully and quietly that the world of business did not fully realize what was involved with the war had actually broken out. Consequently it is impossible at all accurately to appraise German holdings in this country today. It is believed, however, that they are largest in railroad securities, then in industrials and finally in real estate and miscellaneous forms of property. On the other hand, American property interests in Germany are larger than is generally understood, because in recent years a number of American industries have been forced to establish plants in Germany. It was estimated that $2,000,000,000 worth of various alien owned investments in both countries would be involved if the two countries should go along. What would be their standing? This question is decidedly important to people on both sides who have such holdings. But it is easier answered than the next one. With the two countries at war unnaturalized Germans in this country would become, before the law, "allen enemies." No matter how loyal to this country or how determined that their conduct toward and in their adopted country should be exemplary, that would be their legal position. This class of people own great aggregates of property in this country, and to involve them in any general measures would be so forcible that it that is recognized as quite impossible that any such would be undertaken. The declaration of war between two countries has the effect, under long established international practice, of suspending, but not wiping out, debts of a state or its citizens to the citizens of another state. The reasons are manifest. In the first place, to pay debts to a foreign state during war would be to furnish the sinews of war to the enemy. In the second place, if the debtor declined to pay, there would be no chance to pay, because the debtor, an enemy alien, would have access to the country's courts to enforce payment. The forty-eight German vessels inferred in this country, appraised as worth nearly $200,000,000, are in a peculiar status. Interned here because the United States is a mutual friend, they would suddenly be found to be in the complete power of a new enemy. It is explained that the peculiar obligation which the United States has assumed toward them raises questions not before broached—whether it would bring a very special and unusual faith to the ships now if this country and Germany The procedure which the authorities believe correct would be to notify the vessels that they must leave American territorial waters and to give them a chance to do so. After that they would be allowed to be by American war vessels or by the vessels of America's allies. Or, if the Germans preferred, they could decline to leave, the United States government could take possession of and formally confiscate the vessel's business be settled after the war's end. GOT $40,000 FOR $50 Dead Prospector Leaves Estate to the Man Who Grubstaked Him Man Wnto Grubstaked Him. Suz. Bernardino, Cal. - A $50 grub stake given to an aged prospector eleven years ago has returned to A. J. Garner, a young livery stable proprietor of Highland, in the form of a $40,000 estate. Garner at Jerome, Ariz., received a $50 check from his parents. He met W. H. Wawnyder, a prospector and friend, who told him he was "dead broke." Fifty dollars, he told Garner, would grubstake him for a prospecting trip. Garner immediately handed over his check. He had not seen Haw-snyder since. The other day a stranger inquired where he could find Gus Garner. "That's me," said Garner. "Did you ever know W. H. Hawnsyder?" asked the stranger, who was H. G. Jamison, a New York attorney. "He was my best friend," replied Gus. "That's right," said Jamison. "He's died and left you his $40,000 estate." BLOWN UP BY WIRELESS? Fred T. Jane Suggests Solution of Jazz and Robbins Discourse Irene and Bulwark Disasters. London. The suggestion has been made in the Evening Standard by Fred T. The naval author, that the steamer Princess Irene, be blown up by a German wireless device. The Princess Irene, an auxiliary in the British navy, was blown up recently in Sheerness harbor, with a loss of more than 300 lives. "The sudden and complete destruction of the Princess Irene in the Medway," Mr. Jane writes, "at no great distance from where the battleship Bulwark also was suddenly blown to atoms, may be a curious coincidence. Italian experiments have proved it possible to explode a properly attuned charge by wireless from a short distance. If that charge be surreptitious, the magazine everything in the magazine will be one spontaneous explosion is thinkable enough, but two in the same district demand too much from the imagination. Washington. — The national capital will soon have one of the biggest clubs and one of the biggest clubhouses in the world if Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, carries his plan. Indications are that he will. He has a committee of three at work, and it is meeting with much success. The secretary's plans call for the formation in one big club of the 15,000 government employees here. He hopes to erect a clubhouse occupying a whole block. It is not alone the social end that Secretary Lane has in mind. He plans to look after physical needs also. He proposes to establish a chain of co-operative stores in Washington, where the government clerks can purchase their food, clothing and other necessities of life at a cost very much below that now prevails. Secretary Lane is an enthusiastic ad-hoc leader. It is used successfully in the reclamation service of the interior department and on a more or less limited scale in the Home club, of which the secretary is founder and president. The Home club will be the nucleus of the new organization. It occupies the old Brazilian embassy, in Jackson place, but its membership has grown so fast that, although this house is one of the most commodious in the city, it is almost as large as one for 1,700 members, all employees of the interior department. The Home club has a business manager, who looks after co-operative buying, G. K. Weston. When fresh eggs were selling recently at 50 cents a dozen he distributed several hundred dozen a week to the members of the club at a price approximating 36 cents a dozen. When the best creamy butter is available, 55 cents a pound Home club members are able to buy it for 35 cents a pound. At Christmas time candy that was sold for 60 cents a pound was purchased for 50 cents by members of the club. More than 200 retail dealers in Washington have signed agreements to give Home club members discounts of from 5 to 20 per cent on cash purchases. In winter the club, through the bureau of commerce, bought several thousand tons of coal at a saving of from 50 to 80 cents a ton. COURTED IN JAIL. Youthful Prisoners Wed When Released. Morgantown, W. Va. — A courtship that began in jail and developed there into love, although the principals could not a good look at each other during the marriage. The girl was a moody ago in the marriage of Minnie Brooks, twenty, and John Bohls. The girl was serving a sentence of six months for threatening to kill a suitor. When three months of her time was up Bohls was brought to jail to be held. The girl was on the second floor of the jail, and Bohls was on the first. GERMANS HAVING BULLY TIME Nothing to Do but Enjoy Life, and Norfolkers Are Helping Them. Norfolk, Va.-The crews of the German auxiliary cruisers Eitel Friedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm, interned at this port, are enjoying life to its fullest. Besides numerous entertainments accorded to officers and crews, the men are living a life of luxurious idleness. The chief vocation at this time is blessing day and night. They spend most of their time in Norfolk in the early hours of the day, in the afternoon they go to Virginia Beach, Beach View and other nearby resorts. They smoke good cigars, eat the best and appear to have plenty of money. Barring a few cases of berberi on the Kronprinz, they are a healthy lot. The men have been taken into the homes of a number of citizens and entertained, and special services have been held for them in Protestant churches. They are made to feel at home. They appear on the streets in white uniforms with blin stripes and white hats. They are as neat as new plus, and their conduct is neat. They roam the streets arm in arm. American bluejackets and visit the best theaters and other public resorts. They are beginning to love the great American game. Several hundred of them attended a baseball game in Portsmouth and rose up and cheered a player who drove the ball over the fence for a home run. Whether they were the Americans who just followed the Americans who just cheered, no one but themselves knew. But there is a movement on foot to organize two baseball teams out of the crews—one on the Eitel and another on the Kronprinz—and some of the men are practicing daily. They have spent over $200 for equipment. A litter of American sailors call "Bulow" drove a ball over the sea wall in a practice game. ITALY AND AUSTRIA RENEW OLD STRUGGLE Washington.—"Once more the people upon the opposite shores of the Adriatic sea are in a duel with one another for the mastery of the Mediterranean, just as neighbors across this arm of the land locked sea have always clashed, for upon the Adriatic south European supremacy has been contested since the days when Rome fell heir to the sea power of Athens and Carthage. Over this waterway Rome met the pirates of Istria and Dalmatia, aggressive Teutonic tribes and pressors hordes of Slavs, over it the empire of the east expeditions to attack the empire of the post-Roman a generation ago waged war with a disintegrated Italy over Adriatic paths and for the suzerainy of the sea." After giving the above brief review of this historic theater for the transport of invading armies and the actions of battle feets, youngest of the war theaters in the present European struggle, around whose shores the interest of south European battles will center through the months to come, a bulletin issued by the National Geographic society continues in a presentation of the geographic details of the "The Adriatic sea is 500 miles long and about 130 miles wide in its greatest width. Its average width is 110 miles. "The Austrian, or eastern, coast is broken, strewn with fine harbors and lined with numerous rocky islands, which belong to Istria and Dalmatia. This eastern coast is of great naval and commercial value, well formed for the sea, and provides great thriving ports and by reason of its almost continuously mountainous shores, its deep gulfs and bays and its screening fringe of rocky islands advantageously defended. The western, or Italian, coast, on the other hand, is low, sandy and almost unbroken. It lacks good harbors and offers few natural advantages for defense. The adriatic importance of the Adriatic sea throughout the dark ages and the middle ages was great. This importance was somewhat impaired by the opening of the all sea route to India and by the determined growths of the Dutch and English merchant marines. With the opening of the Suez canal and the commercial and industrial awakening of Italy and Austria-Hungary, the Adriatic regained much the most important sea significance. The most important cities are Trieste, Venice, Flume, Ancona and Brindish. Venice and Trieste, at the head of the Adriatic, are the two foremost cities." 11 IN EVERY 100 WORKLESS Another 168 Per Cent of Wage Earners on Part Time. Washington.—More than eleven wage earners in every hundred were out of employment, and about sixteen of the remainder were working only part time in March and the early part of April in fifteen of the important cities of the country. Returns of a canvass of 399,881 families, including 644,338 wage earners, showed 78,300, or 11.5 per cent, wholly unemployed and 106,632, or 16.8 per cent, without full time employment. UNCLE SAM CAN KEEP WOLF OFF Senator Simmons Says Deficit Amounts to $26,000,000. Chairman of Finance Committee of Senate Sees No Basis For Alarming Figures—Poor Business Due to European War is Chief Factor In Lowering Receipts—Sees Brighter Days Ahead. Washington. — Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, does not think the treasury deficit will be excessive and is not alarmed over lack of money to run the government. He also has many conflicting statements with reference to the probable deficit in the revenue of the present fiscal year, some persons placing it at $100,000,000, some as high as $130,000,000," said he, "I have thought it well to look thoroughly into the situation with a view to ascertaining what the real facts. During the past few weeks I have been in conference with officials of the treasury department, and I feel safe in saying the probable deficit will not much exceed $350,000." "This does not include the expenditures on account of the Panama canal. These are otherwise provided for by law and are not required to be paid out of the current funds of the government. Estimated receipts of the government from all sources as made in September, 1913, were as follows: From customs, $249,000,000; internal revenue, $305,000,000; corporation and income tax, $122,000,000; miscellaneous, $60,000,000. Total receipts, $738,000,000. Net ordinary expenditures were at $718,000,000, showing an estimated excess of receipts of $18,000,000. "The receipts from practically every source have fallen below the estimate, due to depressed business conditions on account of the war in Europe. Although the revenue derived from the internal revenue tax will probably be increased by the emergency revenue act over the estimate by about $20,000,000, there was on March 15, 1915, an excess of ordinary expenditures over receipts of approximately $85,000,000 against a deficit of $24,000,000 on the same date last year. "The estimated receipts for the remainder of the fiscal year are: From customs, $72,000,000; internal revenue, $70,000,000; corporation and income, $12,000,000; miscellaneous receipts, $21,000,000; of $268,000,000. The ordinary disbursements will amount to $207,000,000. An excess of receipts over expenditures for the remainder of the year of $59,000,000. This shows a net deficit at the end of the fiscal year of about $26,000,000. "The increases are due, in part, to the normal growth of the government and in part are due to conditions arising out of the European war and the abnormal conditions in Mexico. When the facts that the income tax is not required to be paid by law until about June 30, 1963 (June 30), and that the bulk of this tax fact, paid until about the end of the fiscal year are considered, the circumstance of an excess of disbursement over receipt for the first half of the year, and an excess of receipts over disbursements during the last half, will be readily understood, and it will also be apparent that any estimate of the actual proportion of the receipts and disbursements will be the same during the second half of the year as during the first half is both misleading and erroneous." SIXTY MILES OF BOOKS. Harvard's Widener Memorial Library Now Nearing Completion. Boston—Sixty miles of shelves, capable of holding 2,500,000 volumes, have been put in place in the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial library at Harvard. The work of finishing the interior of the $225,000 library its last stages, and the dedication will probably take place during commencement week in June. A large force of workmen is now engaged in putting the finishing touches on the main reading room. The ceiling columns are nearly completed. The color of the walls and the polished stone pillars and side columns, is a deep yellow. WHEAT SOLUTION SUGGESTED Let the Government Buy Staple, Hints an Australian. Chicago.—"You Americans certainly are a queer sort," exclaimed P. E. Quinn, deputy trade commissioner of Australia, who is in this city. "Here you have the greatest wheat resources in the world, and your people are paying us $10,000 that price for the wheat." How different you are from New South Wales! With the outbreak of the war the government bought up all the wheat at $1.20 a bushel. And it has remained at that price ever since." An Acrobatic Victory. Paris.—The French won a victory on the heights on the Meuse above Verdun by climbing a cliff on scaling lodges, the artillery keeping the Germans busy while they did their acrobatic stunt. FINDS WIFE BY TAPE. Worcester (Mass.) Scientist Declares Unhappy Marriages Need Not Exist. Boston.—Incompatibility in marriage is soon to be a thing of the past, according to Dr. Max Baff, the Worcester scientist and former fellow in psychology at Clark university, who announces that he has discovered how to measure temperament. Without a tape measure, he says, it is possible to find one's affinity and be positively sure that one is marrying the right man or woman. Dr. Baff has had under observation Massachusetts' best known bachelor, Governor David I. Walsh. He recently announced the kind of a wife the governor should find in order to be assured of perfect happiness. Here are the conditions, the result of scientific observance. She must be from five feet three inches to five feet six inches tall. She must weigh from 141 to 146 pounds. She must be tactful. She must be cheerful at all times, especially before breakfast. She must be sympathetic. She must be ambitious. She must be able to sing. It is essential that she have a mezzosoprano voice. FAVORS STUDENT CAMPS. Secretary Garrison Will Ask Congress For Appropriations. Washington.-Secretary of War Garrison has not abandoned plans for the establishment of camps for the military instruction of college and university students. Comptroller of the Treasury Downey has ruled that there was no warrant for the expenditure of government funds for regular officers and troops at such camps. A reconsideration has been asked by Secretary Garrison, and if this is unfavorable the secretary will urge legislation by congress authorizing appropriations. GERMANS CONTINUE TO BUY AMERICAN HORSES How They Send Them Home Is a Deep Mystery to Dealers. Lincoln, Neb.—Representatives of all of the principal nations at war in Europe, the military west for horses for the armies, the event of the huge bear titles; the majority of them are men who have been at the head of great establishments in Belgium and France, which formerly supplied America with draft horse stallions. One who was recently in Lincoln was paid $2 a day and expenses for his work. Before the war he drew $10,000 a year as manager of a great breeding stable in Normandy. How the few German buyers get their horses through a gryvyay, and they refuse to mobilize. Make it plain that that is their own business, and they keep on buying. Some of the largest dealers in this section have been asked to bid on a 25,000 head shipment for the German government payable by drafts on New York. In the beginning speculators and in business men jumped into the game, taking large contracts or subcontracts. The ruling prices for the grades desired were $150 and $175, subject to the price that was very rigid, and a large portion of them rejected. Rather than carry these back to the west the dealers sold them at the points of shipment for what they could get. That there are horse traders in Europe and dealers with sharp eyeteeth was proved by the fact that a number of these rejected animals were shipped to Europe, the purchasers being government agents, who took this means of showing American dealers some tricks in horse buying, purchasing in the guise of contractors who desired the animals for the northwest. The fact that the greater part of the supply in the west has already been purchased or is in the hands of speculators, holding for the raise they feel certain will come with a continuance of the war, has led to a letting down of the inspection bars. Hundreds of the animals in the war have been relied a second look are now going through. The stable boys say that the fat ones are given the preference. White and gray horses are taboos because they are shining marks on the battlefield. The one thing the buyers are particular about is the wind. They require swift galloping for a block or two before the inspector decides. HIS NAME NOT NEWLYWED. However, He wouldn't Fire at Burglar Lest Baby Be Waked. Scottdale, Pa.-Rather than waken the baby by firing his revolver, Frank Weiss, a tailor, sat on a stairway in his home and watched a burglar ransack the dining room. The intruder's movements were plainly visible through a transom. When the burglar found a pocket- book in a drawer and transferred its contents to his pockets Weiss' grip on the revolver tightened, but his wife tugged at his sleeve and whispered to him not to open. Mrs. Weiss, after four hours' ordeal with a frettful baby, had succeeded in getting it to sleep when the burglar came. THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT RECAUSE: 1-It aims. publish all the news possible. B-It does so impartially, wasting no words. B-It corresponds are able and energetic. DEAR FRIEND WAS MOTHER. Girl, Given Away Because of Poverty, Now Knows Parents Lacrosse, Wis—Hazel "West," fifteen-year-old girl, who was taken away from Fred West, her foster father, by Judge Brindley because he had neglected her, has found her mother in a woman she has known all her life as a dear friend. Mrs. Fred Green, the mother, appeared before Judge Brindley and told the remarkable story of how she had given Hazel to the Wests when she was a baby because of her inability to care for the baby. A mysterious telephone call to the Home of the Friendless, where Judge Brindley placed Hazel, effected the remission of mother and daughter. The mother said that if Hazel would come to one of her own grown stones, she would be given a heavy coat. Hazel went downtown alone and did not come back. Investigation revealed her at the home of Mrs. Green, who had met her in the store and told her the story of her parentage. In explaining the case to the judge Mrs. Green said: "I was the mother of another child when Hazel was born, and we were too poor to care for both of them, and at Mrs. West's urgent plea I let them take her. "Not a week has passed since that I have not seen her. The Wests were better able to care for her than I, and we were happy in the thought that she had been able to walk. But since Mrs. West's death I have been worried, and now that she has been taken away from West I intend to keep her." Mrs. Green is the wife of a railroad engineer. Hazel's father is dead. SAYS WOMEN DRINK MORE. Fight Against Liquor Stronger Except With Them, Save Bennett. Philadelphia.—In an address at the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the National Temperance union ex-Congressman William S. Bennet of New York, after describing the progress made by the foes of drink, said: "The case of the girls and women constitutes the one point in which there has been retrogression. It is my observation that there is much more women than that they were twenty years ago. As men are giving up the habit, women are drinking to a greater extent than they used to do." Mr. Bennett said that in 1870 virtually every state was under the influence of the liquor interests, but that now only two, one eastern and one western, are so influenced. He has decreased in New York. Now the men who refrain from drinking at a banquet are in the majority. Few men drink during their business hours." BRITISH WOMAN WINS HIGH MILITARY HONOR Freed From Jail, She Builds Hospital For Wounded. London.—Though Britain fung her into durance vile before the war, it is doffing its cap to Miss Louisa Garrett Anderson, who now holds authority equal to that of a major in the British army. Her work has to do with great things for the wounded. She is not for a suffrage demonstration, and in the early weeks of the war she and the British government felt mutually shy of one another. Her first hospital was opened under French authority. The shyness having been dispelled, the war office asked Miss Garrett Anderson to come home and make a hospital in London. Out of her own resourcefulness, experience and initial training, she had her hospital. It has 500 beds. It is to be in working order in record time. The family record is an extraordinary one. Her mother, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, was one of the first of women doctors. She began her medical studies in 1880, and though the College of Surgeons and the College of Physicians refused to admit her, she obtained a license to practice in the Society of Apothecaries in 1885. Paris had fewer prejudices than London, and, passing the medical examinations of its university, she received her M. D. degree. Later on, when England realized that she was not to be denied, honors were not lacking. Her daughter's degree is a London one. After her death, Dr. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson retired to her native town of Aldsburgh and was elected mayor. NEWSPAPER IN AN EGG. Clergyman's Wife Finds New Item Wrapped Around Voke. Sedalia, Mo.-That a hen may swallow a news item and live to immortalize the digested information in an egg memoranda was shown when Mrs. J. corroborated that of a clergyman, who fast, wrecked a bolt one and read the truth, or at least read the truth as near as a newspaper ever gets it. The fragment of newspaper, about a yoke and a half wide, was wrapped around the egg under the shell instead of the usual thin white shawl that protects the white of the egg in most instances. Mrs. Jared carefully removes the shawl and found that every letter on it was readable and in fairly good English. $2.40 PER YEAR. NAVAL MEN DOUBT THEORY Submerged Tanks in Inlets Could Furnish Gasoline to Undersea Craft. However, Torpedoes Must Be Replenished and Crews Must Have Rest Off the Boats. Washington.—Speculation as to the Germans having established secret submarine bases in isolated coves along the Irish coast was revived in semi-official circles in Washington by the publication of a dispatch from Crookhaven, Ireland, which told of a submarine having been sighted and fired upon near that place. For some time there has been a strong belief here that there have been secret submarine bases of this character somewhere along the western or southwest coasts of Ireland. It was definitely known that, no information had been received from the navy department from its intelligent sources abroad confirming the discovery of any of the supposed secret bases. If there are any such bases the indentations in the shores of Ireland may have been conveniently utilized by the Germans for that purpose. In the absence, however, of definite knowledge that such a base has been established, well informed naval officers cast doubt on this explanation of the facility with which German submarines have been able to operate in the stretch of water between Fastnet rock, the first lighthouse seen by transatlantic passengers bound for Queensland, Liverpool, and Bishop's rock, where they catch their first glimpse of a lighthouse when going to Southampton. Naval officers apparently are agreed on one point—that none of the submarines that have attacked merchant ships off the south and west coasts of Ireland have gone to those sections of the German naval war zone around the British isles by way of the strait of Dover or the English channel. The British have so effectively protected the approach to the English channel from Ostend to the entrance to the strait that no German warship, floating or submarine, has yet been shown to have passed that obstruction. Naval officers here do not believe that submarines could successfully pass through this mine field. They also point to the announcement recently made in parliament that England had been able successfully to transport about 750,000 soldiers from England to France and Belgium across the channel without the loss of a single transport or the death of a single man during the cross channel journey. If German submarines were able to go to the British coast by the channel route and there sink merchant ships, it is pointed out, the same submarines could have sunk British troopships, which would be of greater military advantage to Germany than the mere sinking of merchant ships, which carry only noncombatants. With the English channel approach to the west and south coasts of Ireland as well as to the Scilly islands, the German submarines would have to take the North sea and north of Scotland route to the western shores of the British islands. Having once sent submarines to the Irish coast, it was said here, the Germans might obviate the British route and from Ireland and Germany, by establishing secret bases on the Irish coast, and the theory is very strong that this has been done. The naval experts, however, believe that the submarines have made the journey back and forth around Scotland. One high naval officer said that the Germans were known to have submarines with a steaming radius of 4,000 or 5,000 miles, which could easily negotiate the long journey. It was used to carry supplies and secret bases on the Irish coast there might be submerged tanks of gasoline which the submarines could visit at night, raising them to replenish their fuel supply and then sinking them again, and that it was easy to imagine that they have constructed large tanks that could be towed under water. This officer admitted that this was possible though he did not believe it had been done. The German submarines of such tanks was proposed some time ago to this government, but he believed, in the light of a great deal of information that he had received, that the German submarines were not following the secret base practice. He pointed out that it was necessary for submarines to replenish their supplies of torpedoes, something that could not be done with a secret base as easily as replenishing gasoline, what was even more important, the work of the men who operated German submarines was so exacting and the strain upon them so terrific that it would be necessary for the crews to return to their German bases after their raids to recuperate. This officer also said that, while it was barely possible that the Germans might be making use of some remote island or cove, they would not be watching around the Irish coast for such bases to remain easily a secret.

Oswald Garrison Villard's recent speech against hyphenated Americanism was a telling one. Mr. Villard was himself born on German soil and of a German father, yet he is amazed at the divided citizenship of some Americans of German ancestry. He referred to Carl Schurz, and his true Americanism and said "What would amaze him more than to find unnumbered Germans who, like himself, come to this country to escape the very militaristic autocracy they now uphold, today, denouncing the nation that adopted and sheltered and fed and clothed them." Other races have shown strong tendencies to form distinct bodies, Mr. Villard said, but the German propaganda is, so far, the most extensive. He then asked if it were true, as contended, that the German Kultur and political system were superior to the scheme of life and government in America, why the hordes who have flocked here did not go to Germany instead. Mr. Villard said, that to allow nationalistic groups to develop in this country such as they have in Austria-Hungary would be most disastrous. He said, such a proposal was "inthinkable to a true minded American." For many years it has been the THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cone The human race has test.

This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. A few days ago the yellow press printed with a scare head the following: COLOR LINE DRAWN Springfield, III., Sept.—The Illinois conference of the Methodist Episcopal church drew the color line here today by refusing to adopt a resolution petitioning the general conference to appoint a colored bishop to represent the colored membership of the church in the south. The intent of the resolution was shielded by the phrase "a bishop of languages and races," but its meaning was made clear in the storm of discussion which followed. It was defeated by a vote of 41 to 114. Dr. W. J. Davidson of Evanston, one of the strongest opponents of the resolution, declared a commission appointed by the last general conference, of which he was a member, to investigate the need for a colored bishop, did not favor the idea. The headline is misleading. The conference did not draw the color line, but certain fool colored people, who believe in segregation are the ones who are attempting to draw the color line. They have begged to be separated and segregated from their white brethren, but the white people have saved them from themselves. The jimcrowists whose puny minds failed to see that there is no material difference between segregation in the church and in civil life have been properly rebuked. Remarkable results seem about to be achieved by W. A. Brabbam of Olar, S. C., who has succeeded in producing cotton which ranges in color from snow white to a deep olive green. Mr. Brabbam is positive in his assertion that black cotton sought for ages by spinners and manufacturers is about to become a reality. That these statements were no idle dream, is borne out by the receipt in Savannah, Ga., of samples of colored cottons. The exhibit has been framed and hung on the walls of the cotton exchange where it has occasioned general interest and comment. Brabbam has practiced seed selection extensively and in four years has secured in regular order from the Egyptian seed a cream, tan, yellowgreen, light brown, olive green and bronze. He is sanguine that attainments thus far achieved warrant the assertion that black cotton is coming in the near future. It is conceded by the trade that Brabbam is giving to the world a most valuable discovery, and that, as a result, the dye manufacturers of Germany, who have for generations had THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the ma- sclentious dischar- 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 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. THE COLOR LINE "COLORED COTTON." custom to treat colored people as a monopoly on the business throughout the civilized world, and especially in this country, will lose thereby untold millions in trade. In this connection it is stated that a Chicago physician has discovered a process of turning colored people white by ether freezing. The raising of white cotton has been one of the great occupations with which the colored people of the South have been identified. Is it possible that cotton will turn colored and the cotton picker turn white? Strange things happen nowadays. TINSEL CHIVALRY The Southern Caucasians are continually yelling about their chivalrous regard for women and their determination to protect females from assaults etc., but in view of many happenings in the Southland it is evident, that their chivalry is of the tinsel variety. Last year a Caucasian went into the home of a respectable colored woman in Wagoner, Okla., and attempted to assault her, but was shot by the woman before he succeeded. When the chivalrous Oklahomaans heard of the happening, the colored woman who killed the white man in protecting her virtue was lynched by an "orderly mob of the best citizens." In another Southern state recently, a colored man was walking along the street with his sweetheart when a white man made an insulting remark about her. The colored man promptly killed the white man and a few hours later, he was lynched by a mob of "leading citizens." The Southern boast about defending the honor of women is a LIE. Southern chivalry is tinsel. "Beat him to a pulp!" "Liar!" "Thief!" Shouts and rioting in the midst of which the above epithets were hurled back and forth by the delegates to the National Baptist convention at Chicago, Tuesday, caused that gathering to break up in disorder and brought a score of policemen to the hall where many of the noisiest were hustled away. The trouble followed the serving of a court injunction on the presiding officer and the latter's hasty retreat from the scene with scores of his followers through a rear door. This is the word that comes from Chicago. On Wednesday there had been an incipient riot, but instead of patching up their differences the factional fight grew worse. Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the organization for twenty years and leader of one of the battling factions, was interrupted in his opening address by Deputy Sheriff Harry Fleming, who mounted the platform just when he was answering the charge that he receives a salary of $1,500 a year, and served an injunction on him. The document had been obtained from Judge F. A. Smith of the Circuit court by R. H. Boyd and Edwin Jones, leaders of the opposing faction. It enjoined Morris from speaking or taking any active part in the meeting or from going on with the proceedings of the convention. The injunction alleged that the organization is not a chartered body. After Morris, in the confusion that followed the dramatic interruption of his speech, had slipped through a side door pandemonium reigned on the convention floor, delegates rising on their chairs and hurling epithets at each other, while thers climbed on the platform shrrieking maledictions on their opponents, Lieut. Michael Clohesy and a squad of men from the 22d street police station grasped the noisiest men and hustled them—yelling at the top of their lungs—to the street. In the expectation of trouble unformed officers had been stationed at the doors Wednesday, with orders to admit no one not able to produce proper credentials. In the wild scene that followed the injunction service and the withdrawal of the president the policemen battled against the mob for five minutes or more before semblance of order was restored. When comparative quiet reigned—that is, when chairs and tables were not being overturned and violent impressions were not being hurried back and forth, Rev. Walker of Augusta, Ga., mounted the platform and at-attempt to bring the warring factions to reason. Out on the street a crowd of colored people collected, excitedly discussing the points at issue and occasionally threatening violence to each other. Officers passed among them, ordering them to move on. In the convention hall about 2,000 persons remained, listening with only occasional interruptions to the pacificist speech that was made. Even as late as an hour or more after the crisis the police once in a while had to dive into the audience and drag from it a loudly protesting delegate. THE APPEAL has no particular interest in either of the warring factions, but feels keenly the disgrace which the convention riot has imposed upon the colored people of the country. This is a good time for the Baptist convention to cut out the annual meetings and resolve to meet once in four years as the Methodists do in their general conferences. Several thousand delegates attend the Baptist meetings and there is no reason why the brethren should practically throw away from $50,000 to $100,000 on annual meetings which are not worth the money. Meet once in four years and elimin ate the rioting. NATIONAL HOME A lot of misguided colored people in Virginia are holding meetings in the interest of a "National Old Colored Folks Home" an 1 tdis said that an appropriation of $500,000 will be asked from Congress. No colored person with any self respect ought to take part in any such movement. Congress should never be asked to specifically draw the color line by appropriating money for any scheme which separates colored Americans from other Americans. No Americans not colored here. Americans not colored beggars. MANY JEWISH ENEMIES. The fact that three Jews have bought the rights for the state of Massachusetts for the production of "The Birth of the Nation," the infamous and false film and that Jewish capitalists are exploiting the play-photo all over the country should cause the colored people to see that many of their most bitter enemies are Jews. A Jewish attorney general was responsible for the Maryland disfranchment law recently declared unconstitutional. A Jewish Senator and a Jewish Congressman have become notorious because of their tirades against the race. In many localities Jews aided the passage of the segregation laws. A Jew worth many millions is giving thousands of dollars to aid in the establishment of jimcrow Y. M. C. A.'s—is actually助着 the alleged Christians in their efforts to segregate their believers of darker hue. All this is queer work for a people who have been oppressed for thousands of and who are still massacred in many parts of Europe. All Jews are not enemies of the colored people but those who have power and money seem to take a special delight in swiping the colored man and also—gathering in the coin. JEWS FEAR NEW EXILE. Palestine will not be given to the Jews, but will be annexed to Egypt should the allies win in the war. This was the assertion made recently at the Winona Bible Conference by the Rev. S. B. Robold a Christian Jew of Toronto who has lived in Palestine for eighteen years "It would be suicide for England to give Palestine to the Jews to establish a nation," said Dr Robold. "It must please 100,000,000 Mohammedans, to whom Palestine is sacred. "The Jews will receive no benefit from the war, no matter who wins. If Russia loses it will need a scapegoat and it will be the Jews. Russia will say that the Jews betrayed it. Likewise if Germany loses the Jews will be blamed. "This war means the exile of the Jews. It is a striking coincidence that on Aug. 1, 1914, the Jewish ninth of A B., when war was declared by Germany to the British ambassador, Sir E. Goshen, a Jew, the anniversary of the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar and the exile of the Jews, and the anniversary of the exile of the Jews by Titus, were observed. History repeats itself." Dr. Robold said the Jew is not wanted anywhere, but is playing the most amazing role in all nations at war with each other. "In England there are five Jews in the cabinet, five Jewish lords, six privy councillords, sixteen barons, fourteen knights, eighteen members of parlia- ment and Lord Reading, the lord chief justice of England, was one time plain Rufus Isaacs. "Herr Ballin in Germany, a Jew, has charge of the transportation of all troops, and leaders in the reichstag are Jews." He said the Russian Jews cannot be transplanted, that the colonization schemes have failed. "Philanthropists have spent one thousand million dollars in their efforts to transplant Jews from Russia into Palestine, the United States and other countries," he said. "A short time ago they checked up after having transplanted 3,000,000 Jews in thirty years, and discovered there were at present 800,000 more Jews in Russia than when they started. "The Russian Jews must find their salvation in Russia." KEEP OUT OF HAITI The United States government has no right to meddle with the internal affairs of any nation however small. If the people chose to kill each other, it is their own affair. The ultimatum to Haiti is the act of a big bully nation to a plucky little republic which has maintained its independence through more than a century against tremendous odds. All this talk about the brutality of the Haitians is pure rot and is largely because of their color. Conditions in Haiti are no worse than in many other small republics in the Western Hemisphere. Before bullying the little country the United States ought to find some way of eliminating the lawlessness and burnings and mob murders which are so numerous within our own borders. More outrages have been committed in Europe in a single day than have occurred in Haiti in a hundred years but the fear of the big guns of the powers has prevented Uncle Sam from butting in. Let Haiti solve her own problems. NO COLOR LINE IN ARMY Col. John R. Marshall, retired, late colonel Eighth infantry Illinois national guard, made formal application for admittance to the civilian camp which the federal government has ordered for Fort Sheridan, beginning September 20. As usual the Chicago Tribune sought at once to stir up the color question with big headlines about "NEGRO COLONEL" and endeavored to show that it was against the policy of the government to have "negro officers' etcetera d naussem. "I regret sincerely that the color question has been raised, but since it has been raised, I may as well settle it once for all. "The army draws no color line. This is a camp for business and professional men and they will be admitted whether colored or not. We have colored men in the state militia, in the army, in business and in the professions, and the applications of colored men will receive the same attention as those of any one else." The Tribune should have called Colonel Marshall a colored man and not a 'negro' for he is as fair as a lily, has blue eyes and hair of a fiery red. If a person who was not acquainted with the colonel were sent to pick him out from the soldiers at the camp, the chances are a thousand to one that he would select a Jew or an Italian or some other dark skinned man instead of the fair colonel. MISSISSIPPI'S "MOST." United States Senator John Sharp Williams has been proclaimed "Mississippi's most distinguished statesman" by a committee appointed by Gov. Brewer of that state at the request of the president of the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Williams' stock in trade is abuse of his colored fellow citizens who constitute about one-half of the population of Mississippi. The committee did well to select John Sharp Williams, because he is a true exponent of the Mississippi idea. It may be a surprise to many people to learn that when racial questions were discussed in Congress, Williams was more vehement and vitriolic in his denunciation of one-half the people of his state than that other Mississippi saint, James K. Vardaman. Northern people had conceived the idea that "Jimkay" was the champion negrophobist of Mississippi, but he couldn't fool the committee of distinguished white citizens of that more or less grand commonwealth. A writer in "Liberty," published quarterly in Washington, D. C., under the caption, "The Italianable Rights of Man," presents some incontrovertable facts, viz.: "Governments were ordained to protect the natural rights of men and not to deprive any man of his rights. * * * * An upright, honest citizen should enjoy equal rights with every other citizen, irrespective of numbers, creed, or color, before the law of the land. Equality of rights is the first of rights, and in the sight of the law there should be no respecter of persons, whether he be king or pope, nobleman or peasant, poor, Christian, Jew, or infidel, red, white, or black. The right of choice is divine, and every man should be protected in its free exercise long as the exercise of his choice does not interfere with the equal rights of his neighbor." If all the people thought as does the writer of the article and lived up to his ideals then this might to be justly called the "Land of the Free." CRYSTAL WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. George C. Sleet Celebrate The Fifteenth Anniversary of Their Wedding Day and the Arrival of the Bride in St. Paul, Minn. MRS. GEORGE C. SLEET One of the sweltest social events that our city has witnessed in a very long time was the celebration of the fifteenth wedding anniversary or "Crystal Wedding" of Mr. and Mrs. George C. Sleet and the fifteenth anniversary of Mrs. Sleet's arrival in St. Paul, at residence, 552 Charles street, Aug. 31. The house was lavishly decorated with cut flowers among which gladiolas, dahlias and sisters predominated the center piece in the dining room being especially large and beautiful. The house was literally packed with representatives of the leading social sets of the Twin Cities and as the ladies were superbly gowned in the latest creations of the modiste's art, the scene beggars description.

(From The Christian Register.) Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefeeling is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some peopledictions of the rights of colored people, Constitution, of the people of California, have become impossible. They simply do not access 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 barbarities frequent enough, to keep us busy reforming ourselves. Sunday speaks out emphatically and ungrammatically to most every wrong in the country—except our prejudice. If he wants to show that he is a real brave man, not afraid to talk thing, and do some good where it is most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice. Two Servants of Prominent Atlantan Driven from Cummings. Ga. Augusta, Ga., Supt.—As the result of trouble in Forsyth county and in the neighboring territory between whites and blacks, all colored men have been barred from entering the county. This was brought out clearly today by the experience of Hudson Moore, one of the most prominent Atlantans, who went to Cummings on legal business and took along with him a colored nurse and colored chafer. While he was in the courthouse he heard a commotion outside, and rushing out he found a crowd of several hundred gathered around the two servants, threatening them. Mr. Moov took his two employees in his automobile and rushed them out of the county. The road to success is open to all, without the trouble of "hitting the but too many want to reach the goal pike."

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. American beer contains 6 per cent of the only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and 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 digested food. Both contain alcohol, not intoxicating in ordinary quantities, one of the foods that is free from berbera. It is appetizing and aids digestion. I don't believe there is any beer made in the United States that is what you call adulterated. It may be misbranded, but not adulterated. If the prohibitionists drive beer from the beerhouse, they will deprive a large part of the population of a wholesome article of food." --- VANDER BIE'S ICE CREAM IS THE BEST For Sale Everywhere J.

Tired of Praising Enemy The Pioneer Press gets sick and tired of Negroes going off in refluent argument and praise of tardy judicial actions. For after the wicked grandfather rascality crime had served its plans and purposes and was by time getting thread-bare, this decision was made.

For many of the times I've been compelled to ride over the very tectonics I fought in the war the rebellion, though paid first class fare, as a jimcrowed slave. He Is A Real Man.
