Still Greater Number Might Be Put Under Arms in Emergency by Recruiting Older Men, Lowering of Physical Standards and Placing Women in Men's Jobs. New York—An army of 4,778,050 of men between eighteen and forty-five years old fit for military service is available in this country, according to the estimate of an investigating staff of the executive committee of the mayor's committee on national defense. A still greater number might be put under arms in a serious emergency, according to the committee's report, by the recruiting of older men, by the lowering of physical standards and by the employment of women in occupations now open only to men. The task of estimating the total resources of the nation in men available for military service between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, inclusive, is complex. For into this calculation there enter many uncertain factors. In addition to the morbidity rate and the physical rejection rate there is to be considered the dependency of families and the need of men of mature years in the business and industry of the country. In 1910 the males from eighteen to forty-five years old in the United States numbered 1,217,071. Although approximately 1,800,000 were aliens and therefore ineligible for military service, the officials of the census bureau consider that the increase in population between 1910 and the summer of 1916 has about compensated for these. Through a deduction of $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent for morbidity, the total of 21,071,070 becomes 20,544,300, and through a deduction of about $12\frac{1}{2}$ per cent for physical defects there is a further reduction to 18,007,080. The census tables showing the number of men in various occupations—farmers, factory workers, miners, physicians, lawyers, railroad employees, clerks, public officials and so on have been carefully examined, and the effort has been made to reach an approximate estimate of the number that could be spared for military duty in a serious emergency. This leads to the estimate that 17,606,000 out of the 30,901,564 employed, or 58.5 per cent could be brought into service if needed. And this percentage applied to the 18,007,080 physically fit between eighteen and forty-five years old gives 10,535,940. Still unconsidered, however, is marital condition or dependency. Though unmarried men have dependents, there are married men who are in such circumstances that they can do military service without imposing hardship upon their families. How nearly the latter come to offsetting the former cannot be stated even approximately. In this calculation all the single, widowed, and divorced men are assumed to be available and all the married men unavailable. Of the 21,071,076 men from eighteen to forty-five years old 45.35 per cent are single, widowed or divorced (43.35 per cent being single). If this percentage be applied to the 10,535,940—the figure arrived at after deductions for sickness, physical defects and industrial necessities—the number available for service becomes 4,778,050, or 22.7 per cent of the entire number of males from eighteen to forty-five. This is about one out of five. In the attempts to estimate a nation's human military resources it has been borne in mind that the result depends upon highly elastic factors. Upon the seriousness of the emergency which faces a nation must depend in a great degree the proportion of exemptions from military duty.

Stimson, Alfred E. Smith and Alexander M. White. WANTS CHAIR PAINTED RED Socialist Assemblyman Asks It; Also Suggests Ear Trumpets. Albany, N. Y.-Socialist Assemblyman J. I. Whitehorn of Brooklyn has suggested to the clerk of the assembly that seat No. 149, which he occupies. "be painted red." "When I drew the seat at the beginning of the session," he explained, "I was told it was occupied by Socialist Assemblyman Shiplacoff of Brooklyn last year. So I said why not paint it red and reserve it for any Socialist who may be elected to the assembly in the future." Whitehorn, who complains that he cannot get favorable action on a resolution instructing the Public Buildings Commission to improve the acoustics of the assembly chamber, now suggests that each assemblyman be supplied with an ear trumpet at state expense. Goose's Crop Held $10.27. St. Louis - When John E. P. Ernst killed a gift goose he found in its crop a half dollar, twenty-six quarters, twenty-six dimes, thirteen nickels and two pennies. This two legged bank was a Christmas bonus given Ernst by the employees of a grocery store where he is chief clerk. There was no refund, as Ernst considers the gift of a goose includes the ballast. The total of the goose's savings was $10.27. FOUND IMAGE IN CAVE. Crude Stone Idol Probably Antedates Indian Mound Builders. Madisonville, Ky. — E. L. Littlepage of the Morton Gap country brought to this place recently a stone image that is a curiosity and probably of historic value. Mr. Littlepage found it at the edge of a cave on a high elevation in North Christian county, Ky., while investigating some prospective oil land belonging to him. The cave is located in a wild and broken section of land uncultivated and but thinly inhabited. The image is rudely carved out of a tough, ferrous sandstone. It is about six inches in height and is well preserved, except for a slight injury on one side of its head and slight weathering of one arm. The figure is in a sitting position, with its legs doubled under its body and arms extended in front, with hands resting on its knees. The image is evidently a relic of an idol worshiping people and antedates any old Indian relic found in various Indian mounds in western Kentucky. WIDOW SAVES TREES. Turns Commissioners From Those Planted by Her Husband. St. Cloud, Mich. "—Woodman, spare that tree; touch not a single bough." that tree; touch not a single bough." Thus quoted Mrs. Mary Spicer, widow, as she pleaded for the preservation of trees planted by her husband, long dead. It was three years ago that Mrs. Spicer started her battle with city officials over the maintenance of this arborian inheritance. She was called upon to enter another skirmish the other day when sidewalk bids were opened, in which provision was to have been made for the removal of the trees. Mrs. Spicer's "pets" fringe a lot on which her modest little home is built. "Wait until I am gone and you may remove them," she told the city commissioners, who took her words to heart. When sidewalk bids were opened there were proposed contracts on other jobs, but on the Widow Spicer's property—not a word. EIGHTY, WANTS HEART BALM Woman is Deaf, Has Lost Right Eye and is a Little Lame. Utica, N. Y.-Mrs. Almira Kingsbury is just a little on the right side of eighty years old. She is rather deaf. She has lost her right eye and her left thumb. Besides she is a little lame. But she took the stand to testify that Robert Roberts of Trenton, seventy-six years old and a farmer, had been so smitten with her charms at first sight that he urged her to marry him. Then she said he broke troth and she sued for breach of promise. They met at an employment agency where he sought a housekeeper. Judge Hazard told Mrs. Kingsbury's attorney, "I think your client is clearly entitled to about 6 cents." However, the case was held open for more evidence. MUSKRATS CUT MEAT PRICE Serve as Substitute In Many Families of Moderate Means In New Jersey. Alloway, N. J.-Muskratks are cutting the high cost of living in this region. With the price of meats hitting the high spots, there is an unprecedented demand for their carcasses, commonly known as "water rabbits." Trappers, who this season are securing on an average of nearly $1 each for muskrat pelts, are adding considerable extra revenue to their usual season's profits by selling the meat to villagers and to outside buyers. It is estimated that an average of 3,000 "water rabbits" are disposed of every week in Salem alone, where they serve as a substitute for meat in many families of moderate means. BOTTLE DRIFTS 6.600 MILES Determines Currents Off South American Coast. Seattle, Wash.—After drifting 6,600 miles in the south Pacific a bottle containing a position report from the steamship Eureka of Seattle thrown overboard off the Peruvian coast by Captain J. E, Guptill, the vessel's master, Feb. 9, 1915, was found March 1, 1916, on the beach at Tamasua, Yasawa group, Fiji islands. There has been a difference of opinion among mariners as to the set of the current off the coast of South America, and the finding of the message is of great value, as it determines the direction of the flow of ocean water in that part of the world. HOGS CLIMB ORANGE TREES Fruit Diet Pleases the Swine Best, but Not the Orchardist. Riverside, Cal.-W. H. Bacchus has chased his hogs out of his orange grove. He's tired of having them climbing in the orange trees. After some oranges were blown from the trees by the wind the hogs passed up the usual pasture and, standing on their hind feet, ate all the golden balls they could reach. Then some of them began to climb trees. "Nix on this orange fed pork," said Bacchus as he arranged for a new pasture. Minister Travels by Submarine. Paris.-General Hubert Lyautey, the minister of war in the new French cabinet, arrived in Paris after a voyage full of incidents from Morocco, where he was French resident general. The new war minister crossed from Tangier to Gibraltar in a submarine, and his train was delayed by the snow in Spain, thus obliging him to decline King Alfonso's invitation to dinner. THE APPEAL SEES LOST HUSBAND IN NEWSPAPER PHOTO. Brings Ray of Hope to Mrs. Lucy Zadler, Polish Refugee. Albany.—There was a ray of hope in this Yuletide for Mrs. Lucy A. Zadler, a comely Polish woman of thirty, that she may find her prison in some of the armies or prison camps in Europe. He was taken from her more than two years ago, and she has heard no tidings of him since. The ray of hope was brought about by the illustrated supplement of a Sunday newspaper. Mrs. Zadler's Sunday knowing her hatred of the Germans and Austrians, tossed the supplement to her with the remark, "There are some Austrians for you." As her eyes fell upon the picture she screamed and exclaimed: "That's him! That's Joseph, my husband." Her journey to this country from her home in Lublc, Poland, she says, is like a dream and is still hazy in her mind. When the war broke out her husband, who had saved a little money, decided to come to America and live in peace. He purchased railroad tickets to Rotterdam and steamer tickets to New York. They had proceeded on their way for some distance when at a railroad station, Mrs. Zadler says, some soldiers took her husband in custody, telling her to proceed on her journey and that he would meet her at the ship. Where the station was or its name she has not the slightest idea. Neither could she say what was the nationality of the soldiers who kidnapped her husband. WOMEN LAWYERS TOO KIND FOR BIG FEES They Can Make a Hit, However, by the Free Defense of Criminals Criminals. Chicago.—Pretty women lawyers by the score met in the rooms of the Brownleigh club to bear Clarence Darrow encourage them in their profession, but when he got through they were much discouraged. "You can't be shining lights at the bar," said Mr. Darrow, "because you are too kind. "You can never be corporation lawyers, because you are not cold blooded. You have not a high grade of intellect. "You can never expect to get the fees that men get. I doubt if you ever make a living. "Of course you can be divorce lawyers. That is a useful field. And there is another field that you can have solely for your own. You won't make a living at it, but it's worth while, and you'll have no competition. That is the free defense of criminals." HURT MAKING WOODEN LEG. Cuts Artery In Arm While Whitling Artificial Limb. Cumberland, Md.-John W. Dean, a legless man, barely escaped bleeding to death a few days ago from having cut an artery in his arm while working on an artificial leg. He was whithting out the opening, which fits tightly, when the knife slipped. There was no one near at the time and Dean lost blood rapidly. He became so weak he could not utter a cry. His sister, who was absent from the house, returned and summoned Dr. George P. Paulman, who stopped the flow of blood. Dean lost both legs in a fall from a freight car while in the employ of the Western Maryland railway. CELL COSTS $2.45 NIGHTLY. No More Free Police Lodgings in Baltimore After Jan. 1. Baltimore.—The high cost of living has struck the western police station, and after the first of the year men arrested more for safe keeping than for punishment will not get their lodgings free. The announcement was made by Magistrate Johanssen while hearing the case of Charles McCauley on a charge of being drunk. "I warn you that the rates have gone up because of the high cost of living." said the magistrate. "Police stations cannot afford to put you up, and after Jan. 1 the rate will be $2.45 a night. That does not include a bath, unless the guest's condition requires it." BUFFALO HERDS INCREASING Number of Animals on Government Reservation Grows. Washington—The buffalo, once threatened with extinction, is increasing in numbers on government reservations, according to the annual report of the biological survey. Five big game preserves and sixty-seven bird reservations are maintained by the survey. The report urges that more tracts of land not suitable for agricultural purposes be converted into breeding grounds for birds. Many thousand acres of marsh land, it declares, could be turned easily into breeding grounds for waterfowl. May Inherit $15,000,000 San Francisco.-If Sally Nickel, the one-year-old great-grandchild of Henry Miller, shall be alive at the death of the late cattle king's three grandchildren she will become the richest woman in California. She will inherit an estate valued at $15,000,000. Defective Page CHICAGO PAYS HIGH Mayor Gets $18,000 a Year and Seventy Aldermen $3,000 Each. NEW YORK IS NEXT IN LINE. Gotham Ailows Its Chief Executive $15,000, Philadelphia $12,000, Boston, St. Louis, Newark, N. J.; Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh $10,000, Indianapolis and Seattle $7,500. Washington—Chicago has the highest priced mayor in the country. He gets $18,000 a year, reserves four years. New York comes next, with a $15,000 mayor, whose term also lasts four years. Philadelphia, third in the list, gives its mayor $12,000 a year for four years. Boston, St. Louis, Newark, N. J.; Cincinnati, Cleveland and Pittsburgh pay their mayores $10,000 annually, the term being four years in Boston, Pittsburgh and St. Louis, and two years in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Newark. Indianapolis and Seattle pay their mayores $7,500 a year; San Francisco, Baltimore and Minneapolis $6,000 each; East St. Louis, Louisville, New Bedford, Detroit, Kansas City, Buffalo, Mount Vernon, Rochester, Columbus, Scranton, Providence, San Antonio, Tex., and Richmond pay $5,000 each. The aldermen, who share with the mayor and certain other officials the responsibility of government in American cities, cost the taxpayers varying sums. Chicago has seventy aldermen, at $3,000 each; Boston, nine, at $1,500 each; St. Louis, ninety-nine, at $1,800 each; Newark, thirty-two, at $500 each; New York, seventy-three, at $2,000 each; Cincinnati, thirty-two, at $1,150 apiece; Cleveland, twenty-six, at $1,200 each; Philadelphia, forty-eight select councilmen and eighty-three common councilmen, all serving without salary; Pittsburgh, nine aldermen, at $6,500 each; Indianapolis, nine, at $600 apiece, and Seattle, nine, at $3,000 apiece. The only cities that have an upper and a lower house of aldermen or councilmen are Hartford, Conn.; New Britain, Conn.; Atlanta, Louisville, Portland, Me.; Baltimore (thirty-three in all, at $1,000 each); Brockton, Mass.; Cambridge, Mass.; Everett, Mass.; Malden, Mass.; Fitchburg, Mass.; New Bedford, Mass.; Pittsfield, Mass.; Springfield, Mass.; Worcester, Mass.; Kansas City, Mass.; Manchester, N.

I.; Lynchburg, Va.; Norfolk, Va.; Portsmouth, Va.; Richmond, Va., and Roanoke, Va. The commission form of government, which takes the place of mayors and aldermen, involves a smaller salary outlay. In Washington, D. C., the three commissioners get a total of $15,000; in Denver, $25,000; in San Diego, $12,000; in Topeka, $9,000; in New Orleans, $9,000; in Salem, Mass., $10,000; in St. Paul, $31,500; in Lincoln, Neb., $10,000; in Atlantic City, $15,000; in Bayonne, N. J., $10,000; in Hoboken, $10,000; in Jersey City, $25,000; in Trenton, $15,000, and in Harrisburg, $13,000. In some of the commission governed cities a mayor is elected as such, while in others he is chosen by the commission. Sometimes he gets an extra allowance as chairman of the commission, but this rarely exceeds $500, and is included in most of the above totals. While most cities employ assessors to fix the valuation of property for the purposes of taxation, those of some states have no assessors, but report to the county the amount required to be raised for city purposes. SEVERED MUSCLES TRAINED. Stumps of Amputated Arms Made to Operate False Hands. Zurich—Three professors of Zurich university have been experimenting in the hope of training the muscles in the stumps of amputated arms to connect with artificial hands in such a way as to open and close the fingers. Professor Sauerbach, one of the professors, says in a German medical magazine that the anatomical difficulties have been overcome so effectually that all that is now required for complete success is a somewhat better artificial hand, and he expresses expectation that this soon will be invented. Wetmore, Kan.—In the E. W. Thornburrow yard in Wetmore is a large bunch of blue grass growing in the fork of an elm tree ten feet from the ground. Every fall the residents of Wetmore, who are watching this curiosity, expect the grass to be winter killed, but every spring it shows up green and strong and matures seed. The grass has been growing in the tree for three years. Movies Draw More Than Church. Belleville, Kan.—"Where the People Go" is the title of an interesting compilation prepared during the social survey taken in Belleville. It shows that during the year 105,000 attend the moving picture show, 93,000 religious services, 8,868 socials and picnics, 12,400 the county fair and farmers' institute, 5,600 the Chautauqua and 2,870 go to ball games. Wouldn't Say "Votes For Women." Chicago.—Because it could not be taught to say "Votes for women," a parrot which had been recently taken to the headquarters of the woman suffragists is now back in the bird store. Grass Grows In Tree. CHINESE HAVE PLAN TO RID HOUSE OF GHOSTS Urge Novel Method of Taking Haunt From American Legation. Washington.—A legend has gone around Peking that the American legation is haunted; that the shade of an officer who lost his life during the Boxer massacres of white men in 1900 is in the habit of occasionally visiting his old quarters in the legation, greatly to the discomfort of the occupants. This aroused considerable interest among the Chinese in Peking. Their own spooks, being daily or rather nightly companions, do not excite much attention. But a foreign ghost is quite a new thing. A Chinese gentleman named Hsu Nai Hsun has taken the matter seriously to heart and has felt moved to write to the American minister expressing his sympathy for the affliction which the legation is undergoing in the matter of a haunted room. He says that experience has shown in China that the way to rid a house of ghosts is to remove the roof of the building, leaving the interior of the room exposed to the sun and air for some ten of days, after which the roof may be restored and the ghost will no longer frequent the place. Mr. Hsu said that he humbly offered this suggestion, "as foreigners may not be familiar with the proper method of handling ghosts in China." If congress, says the Tokyo Advertiser, is asked to appropriate a sum for the recoiling of the legation at Peking the American people will now understand what it is all about. FINDS HIDDEN ROOMS IN HOUSE OF MYSTERY Carpenter Work on Old Place Reveals Apartments None Knew About. Chicago.—At 3624 Ellis Park is an old three story frame building that was a home when Ellis park was a woodland. For the last eight or nine years, in a remodeled form, it has been an apartment building. A few days ago a carpenter, tearing away old planking to build a porch, broke through a wall and made discoveries which made 3624 Ellis Park a house of mystery. Between the second and third floors he found a hidden apartment, of which not even John Chamales, new owner of the building, knew. Carefully Frank Wilder, the carpenter, entered through the hole he had made in the wall. He found a complete set of rooms running from the front to the rear of the building. The walls and ceiling were unfinished. There were no windows and no visible means of exit. There was a small table in one corner with a few dishes on it and an old copper lamp. Rust covered, with a frying pan of ancient days still on it, there was a stove. Some straw in a corner seemed to indicate where the mysterious occupant of the mystery chamber had slept. A piece of wire between two walls served as a hanger for an old coat. Over everything was a thick layer of dust. In hunting for an exit Wilder came upon a panel in the wall fastened with a hinge, two big iron hooks and a bar that fitted into iron clasps. It opened upon the staircase and so matched the paneling that it was invisible from the outside. SAYS HE BURIED GOLD. Old Man on Way to English Workhouse Tells of it. Corning, Cal.-Mrs. T. L. Barkle of Newlyn, England, in a letter to her son, the Rev. T. J. Barkle of this city, states an old man named Kempe, who came from California less than a dozen years ago, was found on the verge of starvation and taken to the workhouse. Among the old man's effects was found nearly $5,000. This was all made in California, and on the way to the workhouse Kempe said he had buried about $2,000 in California in a hole five feet deep, but never could find it. Little is known of Kempe except that he was a miner in California and returned to England eleven or twelve years ago. Somewhere in the mining district of California a bag containing $2,000 is buried. PRIZE DOG SAVES MASTER. Barks an Alarm When Auto Pins Dr. Hair Against Garage Wall. Bridgeport, Conn. - Dr. James E. Hair, widely known in this country and Canada as a dog expert, probably was saved from death by one of his prize pets when the automobile he was cranking shot forward and pinned him against the wall of the garage. The barking of the dog brought neighbors, who found Dr. Hair unconscious. He was severely bruised in the abdomen, but is expected to recover. Apparently he had thought the engine neutral and had started it without setting the brake. Shot at Movie Picture Hammond. Ind.-Patrons of the Lyric theater were thrown into a panic here when John Sebastian, a foreigner, whipped out a revolver and killed the villain, who was choking the beautiful heroine in the movie. The shot punctured the arch fiend's breast. "He was choking the lady," said John, as a policeman led him away. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. INCORPORATE SOCIETY TO GUARD RICH ESTATES Vincent Astor, Frederick Vanderbilt and others In the Organization. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.—Warren Delano of Barrytown, Colonel Archibald Rogers of Hyde Park, Tracy Dows of Rhinebeck, Herman Livingston of Greendale and Thomas Hunt of Clermont, as directors, filed a certificate of the incorporation of the Upper Hudson Protective society. The purpose of the society is to guard country estates of wealthy New York men against burglaries. Among the leaders in the society are Vincent Astor, Robert P. Huntington, Frederick Vanderbilt, William B. Dinsmore and John I. Roosevelt. Arrangements have been made to engage detectives and watchmen. The formation of the society is the result of the burglaries last spring, which culminated in the killing of a burglar on Astor's estate by detectives. Most of the wealthy residents of the county have placed their silverware in safe deposit vaults and are using plate. The society will "co-operate with local, county and state officials" to enforce law and offer rewards for the arrest of criminals. BOY SIX YEARS OLD IS MATHEMATICAL PRODIGY Child With Unusual Mental Powers Discovered In Findlay (O.) School. Findlay, O.-A child wonder, with unusual mental powers, has been discovered in the first grade West State street school by Miss Helen Gaskill, the teacher. He is Master Roy Fork, aged six, son of F. L. Fork, well driller, residing on Franklin avenue. While bright in all his school work, the youngster is a prodigy in mathematics. He knows the calendar by heart and, although given the most severe question with regard to days and dates, never makes a mistake. If you tell him your age he can tell in a second the year you were born, and if you give him the date of your birthday and ask him what day of the week it comes on he replies at once, correctly and without fall. His ability cannot be attributed to mental telepathy, for in many instances he tells the day of dates in last year's calendar, which, when you look them up, you find are right. Although not customary to teach children the months and abbreviations of months, Roy had them mastered when he went to kindergarten, and the remarkable feature is that he was never taught. He is also lightning fast in problems which deal with addition and subtraction of the calendar, and catch questions are easily solved. LEPERS IN REVOLT They Refused to Leave Havana Hospital For Another Home. Havana.—The lepers of San Lazaro hospital revolted when the officers of their institution tried to transfer them to Mariel, and it was several hours before they agreed to leave. When the inmates raised a flag saying they would be removed only by violence the health officers hesitated, having heard rumors that the 174 lepers had arms and would use them. After a promise had been given that they would be removed to a new hospital now being built as soon as it is finished the lepers entered the ambulances prepared for them, many of them weeping as they went. There is a report that more than twenty of them escaped from San Lazaro during the parley. GIRLS, HERE'S JULIA! He Wants a Wife, but Name Bars Him at Home. Boston.—A. Julia Shearp, a prosperous farmer of Derry, N. H., is unable to find a wife at home because of his middle name, so he has come to Massachusetts to look for one. Recently he was "looking them over" in Hollyoke. "I am twenty-seven years old, am making good money and wish to have a real home." he said to a reporter there. "If there is a girl who is looking for a man like me I would be glad to have her write to me." HER 105TH BIRTHDAY FEAST. Mrs. Bennett Entertains Three Generations For the Holidays. New York.-Mrs. Alice Bennett, who celebrated the hundred and fifth anniversary of her birth in her home in Brooklyn recently was somewhat tired, but not so much that she did not celebrate Christmas. She carried out her daily routine of life and then had dinner with her son and daughter, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. All except her daughter live out of town and were her guests in Brooklyn over the holidays. County Jail Empty Jefferson City, Mo.—There is not a prisoner in the Cole jail. The last prisoner was discharged recently. According to the records of the jail, this is the first time in seventy-five years that it has been without an occupant. As a rule there are from five to twenty-five prisoners in the jail, and at this time of year it usually is filled. $2.40 PER YEAR. WOMEN RUN TOWN They Hold All the Offices In Umatilla, Ore. TOOK CHARGE FIRST OF YEAR. Executed Campaign Coup Which Left Men Gasping—Elected Mayor, Four Members of Council, Recorder and Treasurer—All New Officials Are Married—Promise Many Reforms. Kansas City—Woman has come into her own in Umatilla, Ore., says the Kansas City Times. Umatilla now has a woman mayor, four councilwomen, a woman recorder and a woman treasurer. They went into office Jan. 1. The only thing left for the men is the office of town marshal, and he or she is appointed by the mayor. The men are hoping for the best. A campaign coup which has left the men gasping swept the women into office. It was not until 2 o'clock the afternoon of election day that the men realized the women had a ticket in the field. Down at the town hall, where the destinies of Umatilla are shaped, the politicians laughed at the "rumor." It was a joke. The smiles vanished when the ballots were counted, and the men still are wondering just how it happened. The women won't tell. They won't say whether it was "framed" at some sewing circle, bridge club or church social. All they will say is: "Now we're going to show the men what a strictly business and economical administration really is." E. E. Starcher, who was running for re-election to the mayor's office, was defeated by his wife by twenty-eight votes. All efforts to interview Mrs. Starcher have failed. However, after a conference in the kitchen Mrs. Starcher came to the door and gave out this statement: "As yet the women have nothing to say as to their future policy or as to why they desired control, but from the best information we are able to obtain they were dissatisfied with the past administration, claiming inefficiency and a general lack of business ability so far as the running of the city was concerned." Umatilla is a railroad town. All morning election day the women remained at home, busy with their daily duties. In the afternoon they put on their bonnets and began a whirlwind campaign. They met the trainmen in the yards as they came in from their various runs." Buttonholed them and carried them off to the polls. Despite the fact that Mr. Starcher is chief dispatcher at that place, he did not swing the labor vote. All of the officers are married. Out of a possible 200 votes 174 were cast. The defeat was decisive. GETS LICENSE ON CREDIT. Has the Time, the Place, the Girl, but No Money. Macon, Ga. — Simon Cox had the nerve and the girl, but not the money to get married on. Cox took his troubles to Attorney Hubert F. Rawls, who stood in good stead in city court a few months back, and Rawls agreed to stand good for the marriage license. Together Cox and the attorney went to the ordinary's office, and after explaining things Rawls got a license for Cox and Miss Ella Hardy of East Macon. "I'll pay you in a few days," Cox told the ordinary as he walked out of the office with the license in his hand. TRAIN ROBS HOLDUP MEN. Mail Carrier Beaten by Thieves When Hook Snatches Letter Bag. New York—Alfred Lorenzo, a Yonkers mail carrier, notified the police that a pouch filled with registered matter had been saved from two thieves by the projecting hook on the mail car of an express train used to take mail bags on the fly, which grabbed it from his hands as the train flew past at forty-five miles an hour. Lorenzo was at the depot putting the pouch in position on a small crane for the train to take it. Two thieves beat the mail carrier on the head. He held the pouch tightly far above his head. Presently the train came along, saved the situation, and the robbers fled. CAN'T FIND ANY POOR. Utopia (Flushing, N. Y.) Hasn't One Person Who Is in Need. New York—Utopia is just nine and seven-tenth miles from Manhattan. It is sometimes called Flushing. In this Utopia is a Jefferson Democratic club, which looks after the wants of the poor in its vicinity around Christmas. The members contributed $1,500, and a committee was appointed to hunt out the needy that they might be supplied with holiday baskets. The committee, after investigating, reported there were no needy in Flushing, and the Democratic club has $1,500 on its hands with which it doesn't know what to do. Fifty-cent Offer For $11,000 Gems. New York—An offer of 50 cents for $11,000 worth of Brazilian diamonds was the best Washington Force could obtain. He admitted stealing them from the steamer Vasari last week, the New York police say. Disgusted with failure to find a buyer, he left the gems in a laundry and wrote the company. He is held in $5,000 bail. J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. --- NO COMPROMISE! The month just drawing to a close that was the birth month of a number of good men notably among whom were George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and last but not least Frederick Douglass. These men live in history and in the hearts of their fellow men because of their uncompromising stand for justice under all circumstances. It is such men as these whose memories are ever kept green, and who deserve to live in the hearts of men. William Lloyd Garrison did not compromise with slavery. He said he would not compromise and he never did. He did not hesitate to denounce the constitution of the United States. He was mobbed in Boston but that did not deter him. He did not compromise, and he fought slavery until freedom came. Charles Sumner was another of the uncompromising men who lives in the hearts of those who believe in the Brotherhood of Man. In recent years J. E. Spingarn took a stand for human rights that seemed to put him in the Garrison-Summer class but lately he has said and done things that have weakened the faith he had inspired. Now he has come out and advocated the establishment of a jim crow military training school where colored men may (if they will accept the situation) have an opportunity to prepare themselves to become officers if this country is plunged into war. West Point and Annapolis is good enough in which for any men to prepare to risk their lives in defense of their native country and there is no need for any jim crow compromises. Spingarn is a Jew. His people have suffered for hundreds of years from the persecutions of alleged Christians. He is the last man on earth who ought to advocate any compromise on the rights of any human THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the countenac the hearts of friends 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 Sumner. being. As Spingarn said in writing about DuBois recently, "unpurchasable leaders do not sell their souls", neither do they compromise the rights of their people. Spingarn the Jew, is classed as a white man in the United States. There is no Jewish problem here. Now that he is out of Russia, from whence he came, leaving the ghetto behind, he is willing to put the colored man in the ghetto here. What is the difference between the segregation in the departments at Washington and segregation in the training of black Americans, who are to fight for their country. What is the difference between the separation of the soldiers of this country and the jim crow cars—the only place on earth where such things obtain. You cannot defeat prejudice by compromising with it. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION. The Chicago Tribune, which was a copperhead sheet during the Slaveholders' Rebellion and has since been a persistent enemy of the colored people has started a little movement to cut Southern Representation in Congress. We quote some of its editorial slush, which if carefully read, will be found to contain in itself a sufficient answer to the Tribune's punk ideas of political morality. "Nevertheless it is the duty of every American, regardless of party, to attack a condition which not only runs counter to the principles of representative government, but also is demoralizing to our political morality and the right development of our national policies. Doctrinaires and sentimentalists in the north demand the enforcement of the right of franchise of the Negro in the south. There is no such demand in the north generally, for it is recognized that political domination by the Negro is not desirable. It is realized that the premature enfranchisement of the slave was a misfortune to all concerned, however justifiable as a war measure. Intelligent opinion in the north is in harmony with intelligent opinion in the south in desiring for colored people defense from exploitation and conditions of orderly progress. Thinking men and women in both sections realize that these desiderata are retarded, not advanced, by pressure for full political privileges and the fear it keeps alive among southern white men. "But if we do not adhere to dogmas, which, by the way, is one of the weaknesses of the Jeffersonian Democracy the south helps to perpetuate, if we sympathize and support the south's determination to deal with its problems as conditions, we do not waive our right to protest and if possible prevent the south from making its necessity a cover for unfair political profit." THE HYPOCRITICAL TRIBUNE. In another editorial THE APPEAL has called attention to the hypocritical fight the Chicago Tribune has started to cut down Southern representation. In another issue the Tribune claims to be actuated by a desire to correct a condition "incompatible with progress and democratic society." And in the same editorial it throws off its mask and says: "An intelligent majority of the north can be relied upon to defend the south from colored domination. There ought to be a more energetic co-operation to try to work out for the colored "HUMAN NATURE" "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire.

American a special status in which, at least during what may be called his political and social minority, he could be protected in his civil rights and assured conditions of development, though not granted the political privilege which would make him in his present condition a weight upon southern progress and a cause of anxiety or race feeling. The political genius of America ought to be able to work out such a compromise." The Tribune's words are so "incompatible" with the genius of democracy that they answer themselves. Think of the Tribune proposing a "special status" for the colored American, after the Supreme Court of the United States, headed by a Southern Chief Justice, has thrown the "grandfather clause and other Southern political schemes into the scrap heap! THE SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION The national order of United Daughters of the Confederacy, recently in annual session at Dallas, Texas, passed a resolution urging upon the people of the United States that hereafter they refer to the war of secession as the "war between the states," and not as the "civil war" as has been customary. The ladies have a lot of nerve like Southerners or the male persuasion. For many years they have been telling us that the South was right and the North was wrong in the great struggle and to a great extent the North has accepted that view of the case so that nowadays there is very little respect even in the North for the Northern soldier who fought to preserve the Union. It is disgusting to any believer in real democracy to note the ascendency of the people who rebelled and sought to destroy our great Nation. The Southern people were rebels in the true sense of the term and they desired to perpetuate slavery. The proper designation for the great struggle from 1861 to 1865 is the SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. That is what THE APPEAL has called it in the past and we shall continue to call it by that name. HIGH COST OF LIVING. According to the annual report of Armour & Co., meat dealers of Chicago, made public last week, the net earnings were $20,100,000 or 20 per cent on capital stock and 14.7 per cent on investment. The report also says the year was the most prosperous in the history of the company. As this company is only one of many such companies, who, it is reasonable to presume made the same proportional gains, does it not follow that the outrageously high prices that have been and now are being charged for meats, are thus shown to be little short of wholesale robbery. When people are compelled to pay, in many instances, three times as much as they formerly paid for the same meats, does this not show conclusively that such concerns as Armour & Co. are largely responsible for the high cost of living that is driving people to suicide. There should be some plan by which such concerns should be prevented from lining their coffers by imposing their unfair and uncalled for prices on the public, for the necessaries of life. "WHY AMERICANS FAIL." It is a notorious fact that in spite of Pan-American congresses, long-winded editorials in American newspapers, etcetera, the United States is far behind Germany, Great Britain, France "S FOULEST BLOT." is pained every day's report with which earth is filled.

Wyatt Verrill on epulchrum usumque isinque pus quos, Conditions of Today," recently issued by Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, has this to say under the heading, "Why Americans Fall:" "Race or religious prejudice, condescension, discourtesy or bluff have no place in Spanish America. The Latin-American is a gentleman first, last and all the time. He has never acquired our life of being a gentleman in private life and a boor in business and he expects others to be as courteous as himself and if they are not he judges them accordingly. He may be white, brown, yellow or black, but he remembers that one of his ancestors was probably, a plumed grandee of Old Spain. You may scoff at his ideas, you may laugh at his faith, you may curse at the "lazy Greasers," and through it all he may smile, treat you with respect and politeness and greet you with expressions of the greatest pleasure, but in his heart he desplays you for an ill-bred "Yankee pig" and thanks God that he is of Spanish blood. On the other hand treat the Latin American with courtesy, praise the buildings and industry of his town, admire his beautiful women, visit his places of interest, and speak his language and you may command respect, admiration and true friendship and every entertainment and comfort will be yours." THE APPEAL has printed a number of editorials along this line showing that Americans have lost millions of dollars through their jimcrow methods and it is a great satisfaction to have this view upheld by a great authority thoroughly familiar with conditions. Race prejudice is an expensive proposition for those who indulge in CHARITY MAKE'S COWARDS "Charity makes for slaves, cowards and sycophants," said "Mother Jones" of Colorado mine field fame, recently. Her words are true. Men cheat their employees out of what is their just due and become rich and when they have accumulated millions they pose as "philanthropists" and endeavor to perpetuate their names by giving money for libraries or "charities," or Christian (?) associations. Instead of being great philanthropists, these men, in many cases, are simply thieves who really ought to be in prison for having robbed their fellow men. No class has suffered more from the "philanthropies" of these rich thieves than the colored people and their nefarious work has been aided by so-called colored leaders who have taken the role of public mendicants and have begged for money to organize jimcrow institutions and thus prevent their own class from securing their rights as American citizens. The product of the segregated institution is usually a crop of young colored people with slavish instincts; cringing cowards, servile sycophants. Great God deliver the people from such charity and give them justice. LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE. Wind Jammer Bryan, elated with the undeserved success of the Democrats in the recent national election, is asking a little too much of his party. In a speech at a dinner recently given in his honor at Washington he urged the adoption of nation-wide prohibition and woman suffrage which is a little more than the average Democrat can stand for. He also advocated the passage of an amendment for the election of the President by direct popular vote and to amend the constitution so as to make that instrument more easily amendable. This latter suggestion would undoubtedly meet their hearty approval as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution have been wormwood and gall that they would like very much to get rid of and in their place put something that would further outrage and crush the colored people. We have got to stand the Democratic administration for the next four years but we most sincerely hope that after that this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer. AS OTHERS SEE US "O, wad some_power the gifte gise us. To se selfure as itthers see us." Bobby Burns was, what we would call now-a-days, a "wise guy." We Americans think we are the "whole show," but are we? Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the famous East Indian poet, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, doesn't think we are, and recently criticized us most unmerciful. He said we are building ugly cities, are too self-assured, are nationally conceited and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life in our mad rush for money, and we must admit that he is about right. He says, there is more to life than just making money. Life calls for leisure not machine-made days of money-mad activities. "You hurry so you forget that life at its best is just simplicity, taking time to get the things that money can never buy. "Like a popcorn wagon are your modern ideas of life. Everything is popping and bursting in different directions, no peace, no poise anywhere." Needed by Colored Leaders. (From the Richmond Planet.)

(From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor in the present to bring about both a physical and segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bols and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of col- people, but it is also alarmingly injurious to people, and reasons a. It has never stood historically on the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Necrofy," and its compounds, Negro-head, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly. In their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negrass," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting out or from the thought, sympathy and off-course of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for distranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their origin to Africa, and there is no more right than all colored people Negroes than to call all people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Must Judge A Group by its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have had no contact relative to intimate and sympathetic relation with the large numbers of that race whom they friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliquely to know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know and sympathy to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would reconsider the judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to put to those on whom they charge ignorance the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men!

That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost true: that is a mistake; it is a feeling of adversity and insecurity innertail. It is an unimpossibility for the two races to subscribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly failure; instead of making for harmony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too long the advice from false and treachery, that it only capable of resistance wrong, that it only capable of race hatred and antagonism; that the other rights will inevitably fail. We have followed this "advice" fully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women defenseless and at the mercy of white women separate schools, jimcrow schools, and even legislating to exclude further Negroes. These are the evils resulting from non-resistance" and "rather be by ourselves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us for its legal reasons. Every congress of fers legislation degrading and imminent to our well being. Race prejudice, therefore, can only be worn down by partition. We must send our children to ourselves, to mix institutions and other institutions, we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to one another. ABOVE ALL THINGS WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being. I do not propose to be cooped up or shut in in my love and criticism to mere geographical streaks or spots of people on a planet. This planet is small enough as it is, when one considers the height and depth—the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that wavers and glows through us all—Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstoi and Mollere! Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand by the fierce rings ringing in their towers, by the souls of their poets overriding the their heroes, the prayers and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are all alike. I will not say of any one nation what I will not say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. Agreed to Be "Set Aside." (From the Eagle, Washington, D. C.) No, the colored delegates to the M. E. General Conference, held at Saratoga Springs, N. Y., recently, did not "walk out." They simply assented to arrangements to be "set aside"—to be entered into a colored general conference, be presided over by a white bishop, be presented the privilege of seeing the own the Master's vineyard. Two years from now the two wings of the M. E. church, North and South, will unite and the separation of the colored membership and the refusal of bishopic honors to the 350,000 colored committees are designed to clear the way for approaching "love feast." There is verity in asserting that, in its primal manifestation, the church is a social organization, with religion as a by-product. Not Worthy of Freedom. (From the Richmond Planet.) When a race or an individual submits uncompromisingly to oppression. it is a practical demonstration that the race or the individual is not worthy of freedom. US MEN.

An unique, but very striking feature, was the lighting of the table by sixteen tiny electric lights with bulbs of red, white, blue and green trailed across the snowy white linen table cloth, producing a pretty effect. The menu was as dainty as pleasing as the decorations and was enjoyed by Misses Ruth Hunter, Catherine Tiband and Martha Roper. After the supper the party attended the theater thus completing an evening's enjoyment that will be long remembered. HOWARD FIFTY YEARS OLD University to Celebrate Golden Anniversary With a Re-union of Its Graduates. Trustees of Howard University plan to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the institution with a sociological conference, at which addresses and reports will be made by some of the most distinguished sociologists, teachers and leaders of the colored race, and a large reunion on March 1st, 24 and 34, of the many of whom will probably remain in Washington for the inauguration on March 5th. Advance figures from the official program of the anniversary show that the university has graduated 4,591 students since 1867, including 1,000 docents, 171 lawyers, 423 ministers, 232 dentists, 264 pharmacists, 703 from the academy and all other departments 362 CHARLES A.

One of the best entertainments the people of St. Paul have had offered to them was the comedy of a Hat," a musical comedy that was given at St. James A. M. E. church, by the St. James Dramatic club, under the direction of Mrs. B. C. Archer, manager; Mr. C. H. Miller, stage director; Mr. C. D. Jackson, musical director, last Wednesday evening. The cast included: Mesdames B. C. Anita Oora Grissom, Belle Tyler, Anita Reynolds, Bessie Milley, Rene Harris, Miss Elenora, Barkedale; Messrs. M. H. Miller, C. D. Jackson, B. C. Archer and Peavey Johnson. The scene was a choir rehearsal and it was a regular scream. Everyone in the cast played his or her part perfectly, but Mrs. Tyler took off the honors with her admirable acting. The comedy should be repeated at an early day is the concensus of the opinions of all who were present last Wednesday. MANSFIELD ASKEW One of Iowa's Successful Business Men.

In the "Social Follies," which is the attraction at the Star theater for the week commencing Sunday, is what is known as the famous "Chicken Chorus," or, in other words, the youngest and prettiest chorus that has been seen at this theater this season. The owners of the "Socail Follies" in selecting the chorus for this attraction made it a point to secure the smallest and prettiest girls they could, and the result of it is that they have accomplished their purpose, and when they are seen here they will no doubt receive the same notoriety they have throughout the country where they have appeared. After securing the chorus, small girls, of which there are eight members, the management of the Social Follies costumed them in what is considered the very latest fashion, and this itself has added considerably to their reputation throughout the circuit. Some of them are St. Paul girls, and you know they are pretty, as this city is noted for its beautiful women. Below we will give their names. See if you know them: Daisy Hoffman, Chick Russell, Mazie Hunt, Reen Mueller, Florence Messier, Euthan Hunt, Del Wagner, Mae Wagner, Edit, Jodi Yoyle, Mina McNally, Josie Harrington, Mina Lawrence, Virginia Johnson, Nellie Lawrence, Heen Carmody, Rust Shepard, Peggy Paul and Marion Weber.

At this juncture the following resolution was offered by W. T.

C. Cooper, Missouri, known as H. R. 18721, invoking for the appointment of a commission authorizing the expenditure of $100. Defective Page 000 for the erection of said monument, and Whereas, we the colored citizens of the City of St. Paul, Minnesota, in memorial meeting assembled in honor of the memory of Frederick Douglass, the men and the first great leader of our race, ca, do heartily approve of said H. R. 18721, introduced by Mr. Dyer, and Whereas, we believe that such a monument or memorial erected in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, would be a proper recognition of the men and sailors of the Negro soldiers and sailors who fought so bravely and valiantly in all of the wars of our country: Be It Resolved, that we do hereby earnestly and urgently petition the Congress of the United States of America to pass said House bill number 18721. Done at the Frederick Douglass celebration at Union Hall, St. Paul, Minnesota, February 19, 1917. Benedict Johnson, 19, N. Murrell. The program throughout was exceptionally artistic and the masterful address of Rev. Henderson was replete with words of wisdom and sound doctrine. The committee of one hundred desires to tender grateful thanks to the participants on the program for their excellent and gratious services. ODE TO FREDERICK DOGLASS. "The Greatest Orator, America Has Produced." By J. Hazel Donaldson. Sleep on, thou Douglass, "Statesman" and friend! Whom we esteemed, among the best, Your sorrows, cares and joys doth end In thy well earned, eternal rest. You bade farewell, to this fond old world, As you were stricken, suffered and died, Entered the gates of gold and pearl Beyond the spiritual, great-divide. You paid the penalty, the final call, May peace in Heaven be ever thine, You were beloved by one and all. Sleep on, dear one, 'till the end of time.
