The following letter is self-explanatory. St. Paul, Minn., March 20, 1917. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, New York City Dear Dr. DuBois: The colored people of the United States are passing through one of the most dangerous periods of their existence. Surrounded by foes without, some of whom come as wolves in sheep's clothing, pretending to be friends, the most subtle enemy is the foe within, the creatures who are willing to compromise with the outer enemy and barter away the rights of American citizenship. There is no need to write a long statement of the many dangers which beset the colored American, as the conditions are well-known to every thinking man. In order to do in a humble way what I can to change conditions I am sending $5.00 to be the nucleus of a fund which I trust the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will endeavor to raise for the purpose of fighting any jim-crow army legislation which may bob up in the congress which convenes April 2. Bills for a segregated West Point and other pernicious measures will no doubt be introduced. Such infamous legislation should be fought to a finish and the N. A. A. C. P. is the organization to do the work. The money sent is to be used as directed and for no other purpose whatever. Editor THE APPEAL Those who desire to aid this work should forward their contributions to the fund, direct-to the National Association for the Advancement, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. R. W. WILL GIVE SLAVS LINCOLN STATUE. George Gray Barnard, the Sculptor is To Give a Replica of His Statue of Lin- coln, Liberator and Democrat, to the Russian People. George Gray Barnard, the sculptor, is to give a replica of his statue of Lincoln, liberator and democrat, to the Russian people, and it probably will be erected somewhere in Petrograd. The presentation will be made through the Friends of Russian Freedom. GUARDING NATION'S CAPITAL. First to be called out in the National Capital, as they were first to be dispatched from the District to the Mexican border during the recent mobilization of the national guard, Washington's colored soldiers now guard the Nation's Capital. Loyal to the core and quick to respond to the call to action the veterans of the First separate battalion have been mobilized. Gen. Harvey received orders from Gen. Leonard Wood at New York Sunday night at 10:45 to call out the 496 men. Within an hour they had begun to assemble and Monday they were assigned to duty guarding places which it is known the government is anxious to protect, such as Southern Railroad bridge across the Potomac, the aqueduct that supplies the city with water, the navy yard, the railroad tunnels and power houses that supply the city with electric lights and phones. The city where resides the President who has done so much to degrade the citizenship of colored men; the city where assembles the Congress in whose halls resound to vile abuse of the colored people by such brutes as Tillman, Hoax Smith, Vardaman and other of their ilk; the city which locally disregards the civil rights of the colored people and in many respects treats them as lepers, is guarded by colored men! IT IS LOYALTY UNPARALLELED! MORAL GRANDEUR. Would that the cursed colored cowards who cringe and cower and grin and give up their liberties could read in Caesar's Commentaries on the Gaeliic war of the brave "Belgea," and then come down to modern times and ponder over the valor and courage of the Belgian people of today, who, although their land has been despoiled, many of their men reduced to practical slavery, have not been broken in spirit. Cardinal Merci, primate of Belgium, in his Lenten pastoral letter, although in danger of his life, did not hesitate to pay a glowing tribute to the courage and devotion of the Belgian people in their fight for liberty. He did not, as many of the colored churchmen do, tell his people that "it is the will of the Lord that we should be oppressed and a lot of rot like that, but lauded their loyalty to their country and praised their retention of self-respect under oppression. Under the heading, "The Moral Grandeur of the Nation," Cardinal Mercier says, "Brethren of our armies of Liege, Haelen, Antwerp, the Yser and Ypres, the Kameruns and East Africa, it is you who are our foremost purveyors of energy. 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. "Our good wishes follow in the wake of these valiant men; all form a guard of honor, proud and faithful, for our magnanimous sovereign, who from a sandbank, which now is all of his kingdom, gives to Belgium, and to the whole world a perfect example of endurance and of faith in the future. "We have listened to the mighty voices of wives and mothers; through their tears they have prayed God to sustain their courage and fidelity to the honor of their husbands and sons carried off by force to the enemy's factories. These gallant men have been heard at the hour of departure rallying their energy to instill courage into their comrades, or by a supreme effort to chant the national hymn. We have seen some of them on their return, pale, haggard, human wrecks; as our tearful eyes sought their dim eyes we bowed reverently before them, for all unconsciously they were revealing to us a new and unexpected aspect of national heroism. After this can it be necessary to preach courage to you?" Of course money is a matter of little moment to so grand a man as Cardinal Mercier, but it is pleasing to note that the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences yesterday awarded to Cardinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, its grand prize of 15,000 francs ($3,000), destined to recompense "the finest and greatest acts of devotion of whatever kind" FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY. That strong defender of true Americanism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man of whom all Americans may well be proud, printed an editorial in a recent issue which is so accurate an exposition of the costly blunder the colored people have made in failing to fight for their rights that we reproduce it. We trust that every reader will read it carefully and ponder over the truths expressed. "It has not been so very many years since the adoption of the war amendments to the Constitution and the beginning of a systematic effort on the part of our enemies to nullify the effect they were expected to have and its subsequent good. Since these efforts at restriction began, they have grown and multiplied rapidly and much of it has been due to our refusal to fight the issues raised with all our resources, before they became operative. In the South disfranchising societies have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "jim-crowism" in dental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A.'s, etc. Indeed, there is apparently a de sire for a segregation of the races in Heaven, if some of them ever get there. These things have all crept upon us since emancipation and the elevation to a citizenship supposed to be equal to that of all other Americans. We have lost ground, South and North, because we have not fought, and when we have resisted, have lacked leadership, while other supposed leaders have played into the hands of our enemies. As a race, we have been buries, abused and humiliated by the thoughtless (some, members of the race), as well as by those hostile to our interests, simply because there was lacking proper resentment on our part and a determination to take a stand for our rights with all the power at our command. The world loves a MAN, a fighter! on who thinks as much of himself as any other like creature on earth. To such aggressive MEN, unjust restrictions will in the end yield and break down, because they will ever refuse to recognize them. In cases of luxuries of life such MEN will not accept the limitations though they greatly desire them and have the price demanded. In the case of necessities, they will fight restrictions and limit, as far as is within their power, the demand for them. A MAN CAN BE FREE IN A FREE COUNTRY ONLY WHEN HE RETAINS THE RESPECT OF HIS FELLOW CITIZENS TO THE EXTENT HE RECEIVES THE SAME TREATMENT FROM THEM THEY EXPECT FROM HIM!" ALL AMERICAN REGIMENTS. A recent issue of the Chicago Eve- ning Post, one of the leading papers of the country, contained the follow- ing editorial: All American Regiments. Men who are or who have assumed to be spokesmen for the different "original nationalities" which go to make up our American life have offered to raise regiments composed entirely of volunteers of German- Americans, Swedish Americans, Irish Americans, or of some other kind of Americans to serve this country in time of need. This is all very well as showing a proper spirit of willingness to defend the country, but the good of the future of the land demands that regiments be composed of men of all origins. What the United States wants to get rid of is the Americanism which has some other kind of anism coupled with it. It will make for real Americanism if into all the regiments which, unhappily, may have to be raised there shall enter all, the elements of American life. There is no melting pot like the army camp kettle; and there is no democracy like that of the dog tent. Soldiers in the field get to know one another. Their aims are the same and their life becomes the same. They carry back home the democracy and the comradeship which they learned to understand and to love in the field. We never will get rid of hyphenated Americanism if we have hyphenated regiments in the service. Men of English, Irish, German, Swedish, Scotch or any other extraction should serve together when the cause is that of the country which they have made their own. We have reprinted the entire article because we believe that every word of it is true. All good American citizens should join in the effort to break Down the color line which at present confines colored soldiers to four segregated regiments, which are a relic of the Civil war. Now that war is really here, colored patriots are ready and anxious to become defenders of their country. They should be allowed to enlist anywhere and at, any time in any regiment of the United States army. They have proved their loyalty and valor from Bunker Hill to Carrillal. Cut out the color line in the army. WE ARE ALL AMERICANS. THE WAR NOT IN VAIN. If the revolution in Russia means that the Jews and other subject races will be given full citizenship and that the pale will be abolished, then the bloody European war has not been in vain. The new government has given this pledge and the Jewish people and the Poles and other peoples who have felt the iron heel of Russian tyranny are rejoicing. Whether the action will be sustained by the Russian masses is an open question, but the chances are that it will be approved as the masses of all the various races have been comparatively friendly in their dealings with each other when uninfluenced by government coercion. The great danger is that the present government may be overthrown by the return of the Romanoffs or the reactionaries to power. The pogroms or massacres of the Jews were invariably arranged either by the government or the Greek church authorities. Let us hope that there will never be a reversion to government by terrorism. KENTUCKY PRODUCTS BEST. Kentucky, as every one knows, is noted for possessing or producing some of the biggest, best and most beautiful things in the world. For instance, there's Mammoth Cave, the biggest, best and most beautiful in the world. Then there is the Kentucky whiskey, the best, the race horses were "Bred in Old Kentucky where the meadow grass is blue." The most beautiful women are from Kentucky. Now comes a hen that has made a world's record by laying 83 eggs in 83 consecutive days. And, by the way, we might call your attention to the fact that we were born in Kentucky. According to the Dayton Forum, George L. Knox, owner of the Freeman and A. E. Manning, editor of the Indianapolis World, were brought to Dayton by the producers of "The Birth of a Nation" and the manager of the theater where it is to be shown, and testified at the hearing before the Dayton city commission that the film "was all right, educational and portrays the devotion the negroes had for their masters and the love the black mammals had for young white soldiers." No comment is necessary. The Illinois House of Representatives has passed a bill prohibiting the showing in the state of motion pictures showing lynchings or which tend to excite race prejudice. It was introduced by a colored representative, Robert R. Jackson of Chicago. It would prohibit the showing of such pictures as "The Birth of a Nation." SPINGARN. (From the Boston Guardian.) One of the painful surprises of the last two months as events seemed to promise a chance for the relief of incumbents from the ban of segregation in the state legislature. Prof. Joel E. Spingarn. Though having spoken out as an opponent of legal or governmental color segregation, by which course he secured the confidence of the race to a large definite majority, he joined the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, has come out in favor of a new form of color segregation, not the current government. Not only so, but Dr. Spingarn himself auctuplicas as an opponent of residence segregation and federal segregation, has been actively using his influence as a friend of the race to induce colored men to accept and presumably endure and assimilate into segregation by the War Department. For several weeks Dr. Spingarn has had in the colored newspapers all over the country a circular letter urging colored men to apply for admis- sion to the S. Military Training Camp of army officers. In a military training camp, he has literally gone up and down the country electioneering, in fact trying virtually to stampede colored men into this strictly Jim-Crow educational measure, doing so at the very time a Bourbon Southern Con- ference will call for a regular Jim-Crow West Point. Fortunately most, if not all, of the leading colored newspapers, have opposed this extension of federal segregation. The Chicago Defender, Cleveland Gazette, THE APPEAL St. Paul, The New York Times, the Freeman. The Afro-American, and many others oppose the Spingarn appeal to compromise our rights. This is not merely a matter of accepting or not accepting segregation for here is a white leader of colored folks who has been a protestor in the Civil Rights movement and a new Departmental segregation under this Wilson administration now advocating another new color segregation of the Wilson regime. It becomes first a question of inconsistency, for colored Americans, though fighting in the Civil Rights movement, of the race living and acting trained to be officers in West Point with the white cadets. To accept this separate military training establishment relinquishes or appears to, our rights to go to war, in the second place the endorsement of an erstwhile opponent of segregation lends added help to the federal segregators and works to break down the colored opposition to segregation with added strength. It either looks like a change of front on the ground of its opponents or takes from the segregation move some of its fragrance. In the third place the great activity of Dr. Spingar as a white man, one outside the race, on such a vital matriculation promoting a segregation measure by administering fortune. It seems officious and coming at a time when this unworthy administration is getting into a very tight place, for a professed white man. It is not the force of the forces in corraling colored assistance, savors too much of exploitation. As THE APPEAL of St. Paul says, after referring to the fact that Dr Spingar or his ancestors have escaped from the Jewish Ghetto in Russia, he has been sent to the segregation in the departments at Washington and segregation in the training of colored Americans, who are to fight for their country." Spingar's reason for this admitted effort is that it will provide colored officers is met by THE APPEAL'S protests against compromising the rights of the race; his claim that such Jim-Crow trained officers would be a means of fighting the segregation. "You cannot defeat prejudice by compromising with it." THAT MILITARY TRAINING CAMP (From the Cleveland Gazette.) Dr. J. E. Spingarn seems to feel that our veteran officers of the Spanish army, many equally good soldiers in our four regiments of the regular army and the national guard regiments and smaller units are deficient when it comes to doing what he terms the "good job." We are required to do. In plain words they lack a "good education." As proof, he cites the difficulty the New York Afro-American N. G. regiment had in securing minor line-officers of the Army and the Navy etc. All of which but shows that our friend, the good doctor, is largely unacquainted with the facts in the case. Another thing, if as he says the army and the southern democratic government Americans as officers (and soldiers, too, for they are refusing to enlist any but former soldiers), we fail to enthuse over his suggestion that we be segregated volunteer officers—schools, military training camp, at this time or any other. Nor do we consider the offer of such a "camp" as a "fair chance." The Wilson administration says that the army is bitterly opposed to the Afro-American as soldier and officer, and they control the "army." So it not at all strange that the latter is opposed to our men as officers, as Dr. Spingarn says, but we are long before much of this will disappear. It was so in the war of the J. Hon. Richard T. Greener, Late U. S. Consult at Vladivostok, Eminent Scholar, Literateer, Writer and Diplomat and Personal Friend of the Great Charles Summer, Laude THE APPEAL. An one time graduate of the University. I wish to express my hearty appeal of your utterances in THE APPEAL and I can urge them as competent opinions. I congratulate you on the police, logic and courage of your editorials. To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, 'the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. rebellion, the Spanish-American war and even in the recent invasion of Mexico. Attention! Doctor; about in this segregation office-school business. The Wilson Preparation Method. (From the New York News.) "I do not believe that colored men should be separated from other Ameri- cies in the crisis it is too near at hand to discuss cri- cies and opinions, and it seems to me that there is only one thing for you to get trained, and that is to get the training little officers, however and wherever and whenever this training may be ob- jected. Two hundred of you do not apply to opportunity may be lost forever." Better the opportunity lost forever the colored men should themselves set up a Crow training camp. The idea is monstrous. Educated colored men, Professor, are not the type of men you want. It is in the crisis where it is in need need offer up their lives for it, perhaps the United States will eventually yield to the point of having them—the "educated" Americans to assimilate other Americans at West Point burgh. In the name of all that is just and sacred, gentlemen of the National Advancement Association for Colored men, they will be educated colored men to set up national Jim-Crow institutions in this century in America and then go out to lay the groundwork to perpetuate these Jim-Crow institutions for the free and the home of the brave. Uthinking and unjust as is this proposition that educated colored men (Signad) Richard T. Greener, must accept different training camps to prepare for war, it differs not at all in practice from this declaration of the post office official that colored the men of the army from white clerks. In this crucial these are mad measures, which will divide and dissipate the patriotism and energy of the nation black and white. The nation must co-operation harmony and union of the people beneath the Stars and Stripes, should be the watchwords of the nation's preparation. In bitter temperance, the state will come to this conclusion. This is not the Wilson Way. The American government will eventually come to it. Why not now? Let the black man fight when he fights for a square deal one service, both postal and military. Jim-Crow West Point. (From the Indianapolis Freeman.) A bill in the house of representatives at Washington was recently inducted into the profession. To provide a foundation to secure plans and designs for a school to train Negro soldiers. The object is to give similar training to that at West Point. We note that among those named for the school, the former senator of Indiana. Knowing his goodly intentions toward the race one may be assured that the effort is worthy of consideration. The Nebraska senator, who too hurried in setting what appears an opportunity. They, we think, will be divided in their opinion as to which is the better thing to do: to go on being a senator or to ask the government to bring about a greater and a more distinct separation. Jim-Crow Camp Opposed. (Chicago Defender.) In the east Major General Wood of the United States army has started a movement for a separate military training school at New York City. He has been given the power upon this with disfavor and oppose it. There should be no segregation in an army of the United States. If there should be a military training it should not be in the east. The men of the east who think, especially officers and writers, should sound a death knell to this "Jim Crow" proposition. It will not be tolerated in the west should not be in the east. In other words, the larger members of the race should be lowered in cooks, but as citizen soldiers, wearing the rank of equality, with no injustice or discrimination heralded over them in case of war a number of southern men in their breasts to lead our men to the battlefield. In the past they have shown that they have proven themselves to be a lot of chain drivers in the war. In southern man command them. When you join a voluntary army be led by members of your own race and not southern officers. Be led by men of the other treat you like humans, and not southerners, who treat you like slaves. HIGH COST OF LIVING CAUSE OF "POOR" GARBAGE. Soar of Food Price Results in Savings of Gresse and Oil, Expert Says. And now the high cost of living has hit the garbage. The grease obtained from a ton of garbage at the municipal garbage reduction plant has decreased. "The high cost of living is causing people to be more careful," said Colonel Allen, in charge of the plant. "As a result, the amounts of food formerly thrown away are being saved. About seventy pounds of grease and oil formerly used in the car of garbage, but this has been reduced, the saving on the part of housewives." cementation tf {| ff ff 8ST. PAUL WEEK’S RECORD OF.

Mr. Fields has the Aistinction of being one of the most original comedians in the realm of burlesque and he has ambitions to be- come a star in other directions. In the lay-off season he plays baseball on a semt-professional team in his home town in the West, and says that he would like nothing’ better than to take up a ball player's career. It is gener- ally the other way, nowadays. ball players generally seek the stage in their off season, but here is an actor who desires to become a ball player in his layoff season. It only goes to show how one profession is closely al- Ned with the other. Perhaps Fields thinks, he would become a good Fielder. Ballard FIRE PROOF STORAGE AND TRANSFER CO.

There have been two very deplorable tragedies enacted in St. Paul within the past week. The first was the shooting to death of Martin Larson, white, bartender at the Kaiserhof buffet, Carroll and Western avenues, early last Saturday morning, by Wesley Greshan, formerly a patrolman, but who was discharged from the police force two days before the shooting. Greshan claims that he shot in self defense. This is the same place where a colored man knotted a white man with a piece of cloth, a short time ago, and these unfortunate circumstances coupled with a loss of $800, so upon the mind of the proprietor of the Boom Stephen Hagen, that he attempted suicide but only succeeded in seriously wounding himself. Greshan has been held to the grand jury. The second tragedy was the shooting to death of Garfield Goff, a red cap at the Union depot, last Sunday afternoon by his white wife, following a quarrel at their home, 979 E. Cook street. Mrs. Goff claims she shot in self defense. The couple have been married for more than ten years. John Bridston, county treasurer of Grand Forks county, is the father of Mrs. Goff and he came to the city to look after his daughter, who has been held to the grand jury. Mr. and Mrs. George Goff, father and mother of the slain man and a brother of Havre, Mont., came to the city to attend the funeral which was held at Lyle's mortuary chapel yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. J. M. Henderson officiated. Music furnished by the choir of the churc and a solo, "Abide With Me," was sung by Mrs. May Black Mason. The chapel was filled to overflowing and the floral tribal wore a numerous and beautiful and included a large heart bearing the words "Forgive Me," from the widow of the deceased, and a large wreath from the fellow employees of the deceased at the union depot.

Strong had a fall on an icy sidewalk that dislocated his left shoulder bone. He was taken to the city hospital subsequently and was well cared for and was allowed to return to his home with his arm in a sling. Friends who heard of his accident thought it would be a nice thing to give him a surprise "pound party." Mrs. Carrie Mills took the matter in hand and enlisted a number of others by whom Rev. Strong is held in high esteem and the result was that a number of persons gathered at the residence of Mrs. M. Bradshaw, corner West Central and Kent streets, last Wednesday evening and proceeded to the Strong residence, 670 West Central, laden with a number of mysterious bundles. They took possession of the house and proceeded to make much of the occasion. Rev. Strong who was on the move, recovery, greeted them heartily. The dining table was piled high with a variety of things that will cut the H. C. L. Rev. Strong, there being about 40 packages. Mrs. Mills asked Mr. J. Q. Adams to formally present the gifts which he did in a few words and ended by presenting a purse of $$.00 that had been secured by himself and his wife from Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. W. Burton, Mr. Robert Howard and other friends. Rev. Strong very fittingly and gratefully responded. Those who were present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Adam, Mr. and Mrs. W. Mills; Mesdames Carrie Mills, Bessie Lucas, Gertrude Barber, Inez Pope, J. R. Jones, J. E. Johnson, Gilbert Allen, Wm. Bean, W. B. Ellott, W. Wheelin, J. C. Black, P. H. Anderson, W. J.

At the twenty-eighth annual commencement of the University of Minnesota School of Agriculture held Wednesday afternoon, there were 160 graduates, among them were two of our girls, Miss Lyle A. Utley and Miss Cora M. Pryor. At this commencement practical demonstrations of everyday economic subjects took the place of days, sermons, tomes and addresses. Vincent, in presenting the diplomas to the students, was just as unconventional. Miss Utley who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Utley made an excellent showing in work, surpassing most of the members of the class. Miss Pryor is a sister of Mr. Noble Pryor, 395 Thomas street. INSIST on Purity BREAD
