"Just Didn't Get Some Things That Other Girls Do and That Only Please For a Little While," She Declares. First Began to Save Her Money For Rainy Day. Seattle, Wash.—Girl elevator operators may not be unusual in war stricken Europe, but they certainly are an oddity in Seattle, the first one in this city being Miss Beryl Smithson, elevator conductor in the Eitel building at Second and Pike, Seattle's busiest corner. Not only is Miss Smithson's employment unusual for a girl, but all in all she is remarkable in other ways for a girl still in her teens. Few people know that the automobile she drives to and from her work is her own and was saved out of her very own say. MARIE MAYER MISS SMITHSON IN HER AUTO AND RUN- NING ELEVATOR. MISS SMITHSON IN HER AUTO AND RUNNING ELEVATOR. ings, every penny of it. It's unusual for even male elevator operators to run their own automobiles. "I have always wanted to run an automobile, and after I learned to manage one it was my ambition to own one. I simply decided I could own one if I set to work to do it. Now I own one, and it wasn't very hard work to save for it either. But I don't see why you or anybody else should be so concerned about it or wonder at it. Anyhow, it doesn't interest anybody." This was the snappy though not unkindly reply which the busy little elevator girl made to the reporter's inquiry. "Don't you think it is rather a remarkable achievement for a young woman who is earning her way?" asked the reporter, who never could understand how anybody ever managed to save any money, no matter how much or how little he made. "No; I don't think it is so remarkable," said Miss Smithson. "I think any young girl with a little grit and determination can do that. It isn't so hard to save a part of what you make if you simply try." "Well, how did you do it, Miss Smithson?" "I just made up my mind to save as much money as I could as soon as I began to earn wages. I didn't begin to save money just for this automobile. I first began to save for emergency—for a rainy day, as they say. If I should say it wasn't hard work that wouldn't be true. It was hard at first. I had to sacrifice some things that I liked and wanted, but were not absolutely necessary. I just didn't buy some things that other girls do and that only please for a little while. Then I watched prices on things, and, while I decided to buy the best of everything I had to buy, I thought twice before I bought." Secret Annual Gift For Life Savers Washington—The mysterious annual $1,000 gift to the life saving service from two New York women whose names always have been surrounded with secrecy arrived here. The two sisters, who for twenty years have been paying an unknown debt of gratitude to the service, now have given $20,000. Since the last contribution was made one of the sisters has died, but the survivor sent $50 for her. Says Shingle Spanking Killed Boy, Chicago.—That the death of her nine-year-old son, William Cameron, was due to an old fashioned spanking with a shingle was the allegation made at an inquest by Mrs. F. H. Brown, member of the Dowle cut at Zion City. Ill. It was reported by Mrs. Brown that Ester Oterlaucher and Edzie McDougal, aged about sixteen years, administered the spanking four weeks ago when her son threw stones at them. Located Thousands of Fest Above Sea Level In Rockies. Denver. — Travelers accustomed to the sound of fg bellons on the Atlantic or Pacific coast will be amazed, perchance, to hear the warning ring next summer from 10,000 to 14,000 feet above the sea level in the Rocky mountains. The tragic end of the Rev. Thornton R. Sampson of Texas, who disappeared in the Rocky Mountain National park while on a walking tour, has resulted in plans to safeguard the precipitous and dangerous trails of the park. L. C. Way, supervisor of the Colorado playground, has devised the plan of having fg bellons scattered along the trails at intervals from a quarter to a half mile apart on Flat Tong, Long peak, Hallets glacier and Hallets peak. The bellles will be of deep tone and will be operated by a system similar to weather vanes. The bellles will be placed on posts about seven feet high. Suspended over the bell will be a small, light wooden paddle. The slightest breeze will tilt the paddle and ring the bell. There probably would not be one day in the year when the breeze would be insufficient to ring the bell. While the mountains are not too dangerous for travel, even the most experienced traveler sometimes will lose the trails in the mountains. About 11,000 feet above sea level and above timber line heavy clouds sometimes totally obscure the sight of the traveler. Walking in the face of the wind with his head lowered, he is apt to lose his bearings. LARGEST WIRELESS PLANT AT SAN DIEGO New $300,000 Station Is Made Ready For Work After Satisfactory Tests. San Diego, Cal.-The new $300,000 wireless telegraph station was recently completed and officially put in commission after suitable tests. It is the largest and most powerful radio station in the western hemisphere and is capable of carrying for 12,000 miles Messages from the British fleet cruising in the North sea, from the high powered German plant at Berlin and from American ships and from Australia have been intercepted. Three units in the globe encircling radio service of the United States navy are now completed. These are the stations at San Diego, Arlington and Darien (Panama canal zone). A fourth is under construction at Manila. The three 600 foot aerial towers form a triangle. They contain 1,000,000 pounds of fabricated steel and are the largest radio towers in the world. They are 150 feet in width at the base and eight feet at the apex. They are placed 1,100 feet apart. Huge porcelain insulators embedded in concrete form the base of each leg of the towers. The receiving room is absolutely sound proof, the walls and floors being padded with asbestos. There are four distinct and complete controlling sets installed in the receiving room, enabling any one of the four operators or all four simultaneously to send and receive messages. The aerials or antennae weigh sixteen tons and have a sag between towers of 100 feet. They are twice as large as those strung from the Elfelf tower in Paris. The helix is fourteen feet in diameter and eleven feet in height, or feet higher than the helix used in ordinary naval and commercial stations. WOMAN IS A MAIL CARRIER. She Braves Winter and Bad Roads in Maryland. Baltimore. - Brating snow, sleet, drifts, biting winds in the winter and blistering and scorching heat in the summer. Miss Julia M. Shafer of Knoxville, Md., for twelve years has served the United States as rural mail carrier. She is now covering the same route her father traveled fourteen years ago, when the route first was established. Miss Shafer in those days was a substitute for her father; now the father is substituting for her. In the twelve years that Miss Shafer has carried mail it is estimated that she has traveled 93,600 miles. She makes twenty-five miles six days of the week. With the exception of the regular fifteen day annual vacation, Miss Shafer has been off duty only thirty days in twelve years. LINER SAVES TWO AT SEA. Sarge Crew Drifting In Ice Covered Craft-Get $40 Purse. New York -The Ward finer Saratoga, from Havana, brought in two seamen, Jose Farla and Manual Baptista, crew of the coal bargel Edward F. Clark, which, with her sister bargel, the Theodora Palmer, broke away from the ocean tug Minnie in a northwest blast. The Saratoga fell in with the Clark, covered with ice and the seas breaking over her, about 240 miles south of Sandy Hook. The two men launched a dory and bowed to the Saratoga and boarded her by a sea ladder. Captain Miller of the Saratoga also noted another bargel distress signals with a tank standing by and preparing to take off the seamen. Passengers of the Saratoga made up a purse of $40 for the two seamen. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Minnesota Historical Society Favors Small, High Climbing Plane With but a Single Gun. Dayton, O.—Orville Wright, inventor of the aeroplane, announced that in case of war with Germany he would abandon his private affairs and offer his services to the government to help organize an aerial army. "While I could not duplicate Henry Ford's offer to manufacture war machines because I have disposed of my interests in the manufacturing end of the business," Wright asserted. "I certainly will do everything I can for the country. "We have a pitifully small number of military and licensed civilian pilots to meet an emergency, but that need-not trouble us a great deal if we meet the situation promptly. "It takes but about two weeks to develop and train a good military aerial observer. It takes two weeks more to make him a competent fighting man. "As for the type of aerial defense, I would favor the small, high climbing plane, light and unarmored except for a single gun. It can jump in and do a lot of damage and get away while heavier planes are getting started. "I would be absolutely against the manufacture of Zeppelin or dirigibles except for observation purposes. As an offensive weapon in war the Zeppelin has been a flat failure." UNCLE SAM SWAMPED WITH SPY APPLICANTS Several Linguists Say They Could Make Themselves Agreeable to Foreign Diplomats. Washington—Uncle Sam will never run short of spies. He has been fairly swamped with applications for appointments in the secret service since the diplomatic break with Germany. Judging by the number of applications coming in, every family must have at least one husky young movie fan who yearns for the exciting life of a daring, dashing, omnipresent, well dressed, swagger and handsome secret service agent, spending the winter in Florida watching foreign diplomats and spies, with nothing much to do except keep his flannel trousers well creased all the time so that he may be ready on a moment's notice to rush out from ambuscade, hop in an automobile to follow some fair foreign enchantress to a secret rendezvous, there to make the grim, stern, heartbreaking choice between enchantress and cold, gloomy duty, nobby rising to the occasion, grabbing her traveling bag and returning with the plans and specifications of an explosive doughnut to the waiting chief of the secret service in Washington. Of course all the present war fever applicants for jobs in the secret service have special qualifications. Several of them know foreign languages. Many of them are expert dancers and could make themselves agreeable to foreign diplomats and their families, particularly the diplomatic daughters, who are bound to "leak" a lot of state secrets to a first class fox trotter maybe. RIDS TOWN OF TRAMPS "Knights of Road" Confronted With Sign of Skull and Bones. Nesquehoning, Pa. - While almost every other community throughout the state and probably throughout the entire country is being bothered with the tramp nuisance, these "knights of the road" are giving Nesquehoning a wide berth. One day a "Weary Willie" had the audacity to come into the town and attempt to eke out an existence without working. It was decided to rid the town of him and thereby discourage others from leading a free and easy life. Varulous ways were discussed, and it was finally decided to place him in a barrel and roll him down a hill. Before being put into the barrel he said: To Nesquehoning I bid adieu. And I'll never come back again to see you. He reached the bottom of the hill more than alive and after extircating himself made a dash for the wilds of Broad mountain. That was the last ever seen of him. His treatment reached the ears of many other tramps, who to this day fear even to pass through the town. "SHORT SKIRTS MAKE'EM EAT" Lecturer Would Cut Living Cost by Changing Fashions. Philadelphia.—Short skirts and silk stockings made a girl eat so much she becomes bad tempered. An inch from the skirt means a pound of beefsteak inside. Highly colored dresses are very dangerous and make a girl irritable. A calico dress is better than imitation silk. A woman's first duty is to make herself as beautiful as she can. These are a few excerpts from the law of clothes laid down by Miss Jane Newcomb, a State college extension lecturer, in a talk to a group of women at the Friends' Central school. Miss Newcomb first gave warning that the less a girl wears the more she must eat to keep warm. In the day of short skirts and high living costs Miss Newcomb has in her investigation into the folly of fashions come to the conclusion that to lengthen the skirt is to shorten the grocer's bill. NEWEST BULLET. Claimed It Pierces the Thickest Kind of Armor. LEAD COVERING DOES IT. Fired From Regulation Army Rifle, It Will Penetrate Three-Quarter Inch Steel Plate and Other Objects Beyond. Could Go Through Thirty Men In Row. New York.—A new bullet, capable of piercing armor as thick as that which covers the famous British "tanks" or that used in making trenches on the Semme bomb and bullet proof, has been invented and tested by the ordnance corps of the United States army. The bullet is of only 30 caliber; but, fired from the regulation army rifle, it will penetrate a three-quarter inch steel plate and other objects beyond. It is said that the bullet would be able to pierce from twenty to thirty men in a row. It has been tested severely at the Sandy Hook proving BRIGADIER GENERAL CROZIER, CHIEF OF ORDNANCE, U. S. A. grounds by the ordnance corps, and the statements published concerning its efficacy are the results of actual trials. It has taken many months of experimenting to develop the bullet, which is exactly like the ordinary bullet in appearance, but has an outside covering of lead around the armor piercing center of steel. This lead casing acts as a lubricant in passing the bullet through the steel and is ripped from the steel core as the bullet passes through a solid obstruction. Only a small number of the bullets have been manufactured, and these were made entirely in government shops. Fifty ordnance and engineer corps officers were present when these were used in the first tests. A three-quarter inch steel plate about forty feet long and twelve feet wide was erected, and behind it were fixed six silhouette targets in the semblance of a soldier. A detail of men from the coast artillery and ordnance corps did the firing. The bullets would not pierce the steel at 100 yards. At fifty, however, they riddled the steel plate and the silhouette targets behind it. It is not believed that the new bullet will be valuable or necessary in ordinary infantry engagements in the open. Its worth is said to lie principally in attacks on houses, steel shelters and other obstructions behind which enemy troops are concealed. Tests have been made to demonstrate that the bullets can be fired from a machine gun as well as a rifle. SAW SIXTEEN BEARS Smith Killed and Got the Hides of Four of Them. Wenatchee, Wash. — The best bear story of the season comes from Merritt, and H. B. Smith is the hero. Smith one day the other week shot a bear 200 yards off, wounding it in a foreleg. The wounded animal came dashing down toward him and when within 100 feet was brought down with an accurately aimed shot through the heart. Hardly had Smith fired the second shot, according to the story, when a second black one poked its head over a log near by. One shot finished it. Then bears began to jump all around. Smith began a fuselade. He emerged with four pelts. Smith said he saw sixteen bears in all. Electric Shock at Organ. Woodland, Cal.-While playing the organ at the Catholic church during services Byron Derr received an electric shock that rendered him unconscious. His head had come in contact with the switch operating the motor which supplies the air for the pipes. Derr quickly recovered without the congregation knowing of the incident FATE PLAYS STRANGE PRANK WITH SAILOR After Crossing Ocean In an Open Boat He Loses His Life In Riyer Lorain, O. — Ludwig Eisenbraun, a German sailor, who was drowned here recently in Black river, was treated very strangely by fate. Eisenbraun was the hero of one of the greatest feats in marine history, achieved when he crossed the Atlantic ocean in a nineteen foot dory. After encountering furious storms at sea, facing death a score of times in his frail open boat, he lost his life when his hand slipped on an icy rope, which he was using to climb to the deck of a lake steamer on which he was a watchman, and fell back into the river. On April 11, 1903, Eisenbraun sailed from Boston harbor in his dory, Columbus II. On Nov. 23 of the same year he docked his craft at Gibraltar. Once in a storm his boat was capsized, and he lost water and provisions. He righted the boat, and two days later was reprovisioned by a British steamer. He steered his craft against a sleeping whale, and the aroused monster nearly capsized him. Eisenbraun had been a sailor on the great lakes for five years. He was forty-eight years old. "PLEASE DON'T ROB ME!" HIS PLEA TO BURGLABS "PLEASE DON'T ROB ME!" HIS PLEA TO BURGLABS Jeweler Tries New Method to Keep Stock Intact—Has Appeal Published Paterson, N. J.—If there is any sporting blood in the veins of the industrious burglaries who have made professional visits to Leon Friedmann's jewelry store here at regular intervals it is hardly possible that they can ignore their victim's final appeal. Double locks, bars, burglar alarms and watchmen having proved equally futile, Friedmann decided to make a personal entreaty to the entire profession of burglaries after a visit which cost him $2,000. He wrote this communication and caused it to appear in both the afternoon papers here, on the theory that an up to date burglar must read one of the two: NOTICE TO BURGLARS. Gentlemen—Members of your profession have called upon us with great profit to themselves of all the We. We have done our share toward your support; the fore we would deem it a great favor if you would take your trade elsewhere in the many losses until we can recover from the many losses, and be suffered in the past, all of which, unfortunately, are our own. Respectfully yours. LEON FRIEDMANN. PHONOGRAPH IN BASEMENT Machine Sends Music by Cold Air Duct and Heat Registers. Brazil, Ind.-H. E, Thompson when he wishes music at his home presses an electric button on the wall and from the cold air duct and the registers of the hot air furnace come in succession ten different selections, which are repeated until the electric switch is turned off. The music is produced by a phonograph arrangement, in the basement. A circular table is arranged with ten records around it, all moved by an electric motor beneath the table. In the center of the table, pointing upward into the air duct, is a large plaster of pars horn, which is connected with the reproducing mechanism. After a record is played a cork roller carries the needle to the next record. VICTIM ON ENGINE'S FRONT. Thompson Was Held There by Hia Clothes and Was Not Hurt. Cedartown, Ga.—A peculiar accident happened at Greenway, six miles west of here. While crossing the railroad track Riley Thompson's buggy was struck by a passing freight train going about twenty miles an hour. The buggy was torn completely up, the mule escaping unhurt. The train stopped, the crew going back to hunt for the occupant of the buggy. They could not find him and came into town. Here they discovered Mr. Thompson hanging by his clothes on the front of the engine, none the wore for his experience. QUIET PLACE FOR WEDDING. West Virginia Couple Married Amid Mummies and Antiques. Charleston, W. Va.-With an Egyptian mummy as their only attendant and with thousands of antiques as the background Miss Laura Collins and Isaac Thompson, both of Comfort, Boone county, were married in the state department of archives and history by the Rev. A. J. Larabee of the Church of God, Winfield. Asked why they chose such a peculiar place for the ceremony, the couple declared it was at the suggestion of the minister, who proposed a quiet place. Thieves Stole House Deer Park, Wis.-Herman Larson purchased a farm in the vicinity of Frederic; in Polk county, and last summer built a house there and made preparations to move on the property, which he had been renting to neighbors. The other day he went up to Frederic ahead of his family, expecting to put things in readiness, when he found that the house had been carried off by thieves. Defective Page GETS $68 A WEEK WASHING Girl Gave Up Stenography to Take In Clothes. Norristown, Pa.-Quitting her position as stenographer to go to the washtub, Miss Georgianna Cuthbert is making $68 a week, and she handles only five washes to do it, according to her testimony in the equity action in which she is defendant and Mrs. Marle Lusson, her neighbor, plaintiff. Miss Cuthbert informed Judge Swartz that one family alone paid her $30, another $12, two $5 and a fifth $8 a week. She gets the business, she says, because she does not use bleach or acids in cleansing them. "None of the clothing I handle is solled, only mussed," she said. Mrs. Marle Lusson seeks to prevent Miss Cuthbert erecting a laundry in the rear of her lot in Ardmore, Pa. Mrs. Lusson says that a laundry there would be undesirable, unhealthy and in violation of building restrictions. In the testimony experts said a laundry would be unobjectionable; that there would be no dirt, no noise, no smell and, in fact, no reason why this woman should not be permitted to proceed with the laundry. PAY FARES AFTER 20 YEARS. Charity Finally Took $1 That Railway Official Refused to Accept. Original Refused to Accept. Findlay, O. — Philosophers for centuries have attempted to analyze the conscience of the human race and what prompts it, but have been unsuccessful. That such a thing does really exist, Charles F. Smith, general manager of the Toledo, Bowling Green and Southern railway, can now testify. Recently he was sitting in his office when two men walked in and each threw a fifty cent piece on his desk, explaining that twenty years ago they had ridden from the north side to the Tangent depot without paying fare. That was because they were compelled to stand most of the way. During all this time their consciences, they said, had troubled them and they got no rest until they had returned the money with interest. Mr. Smith refused to take the money, but Dr. J. P. Baker, head of the Associated charities, who happened in Smith's office at the time, confiscated the money for that purpose. DEER ATTACKS POSTMAN. Herd Within Three Miles of Pennsylvania Town. Huntington, Pa.—Clark Smith, the oldest rural route agent attached to the Huntington postoffice, met with a spirited attack from a big buck deer while on his return trip a few evenings ago within three miles of this place. A herd of six does, led by a large buck, had been feeding in a mountain meadow and were about to emerge into the open highway just as Smith was driving leisurely past. His horse, a calico colored bronze, seemed to have aroused the ire of the buck, which leaped a fence and attacked the bronco by rearing up and endeavoring to strike it with its forefeet. Mr. Smith used his whip vigorously on the deer. The bronco took fright and finally drew itself and driver to a place of safety. A herd of ten deer, including one elk, has been seen by a farmer at the further end of Smith's route. DREAMED ABOUT SNAKES Then He Woke Up to Find a Three Foot Rattler In His Room. Altoona, Pa. — George Merits of Franklinville, Huntingdon county, tossed in the throes of a frightful nightmare and dreamed of rattlesnakes. In bed with Merits was Samuel Alley of the same place. When Merits came to himself he still believed himself dreaming, for a hideous rattle sounded in his ears. Alley also heard it. The frightful whirr maintained a steady cadence, and both men were then aware that a rattlesnake was in their room. Having no light handy, the men were imprisoned in their bed for some time. Finally a match and lantern were procured. The snake, more than three feet long, with seven rattles and a button, was coiled in the center of the floor. It was killed. WANTS TO GET OUT OF JAIL Amandus Kessler's Plea to Join Marine Corps Likely to Unbehead. New York.-Because he is a good porch climber, rifle shooter and has other marked accomplishments, Amandus Kessler wants to get out of jail at East Pa., and, become a fighter for Uncle Sam in the ranks of the United States marine corps, according to an appealing letter addressed to the marine recruiting station in this city. Amandus wrote several pages in his patriotic outburst and promised to use his influence to awaken his fellow prisoners to the call of the flag if the marines would only come and get him out. Although the young man claims to be a good, "healthy feller," unfortunately his morals are not in the same flourishing condition, as Amandus and his pals must languish in prison while the marine corps remains heartless but uncontaminated. Scholars Read Original Poems. Westmont, N. J.-Eighteen grade pupils in the public schools read original poems during the afternoon session, creating considerable amusement and uncovering some 18th-century literary talent. Recently each pupil in this grade was required to make a five minute address without manuscript In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. $2.40 PER YEAR. GUARDED BRIDGES Naval Militiamen, on Patrol, Searched Every Vehicle. WATCHED FOR EXPLOSIVES. When Break With Germany Came Particular Attention Was Centered on Brooklyn and Manhattan Spans, as Destruction Would Prevent Egress of War Vessels From Navy Yard. New York—With machine guns and three pounders stationed and naval militiamen patrolling the spans with bayoneted rifles, the Brooklyn, Manhattan, Williamsburg, Queensboro and Hell Gate bridges took on the appearance of stern preparedness against war immediately following the severance of diplomatic relations. The automobilist who motored across the bridges was held up as he chugged to the bridge and as he left the structure by blue uniformed naval militiamen who insisted on searching each vehicle for explosives. "Keep moving" was the spirit imparted to all who used the bridges Photo by American Press Association. GUARD ON MANHATTAN BRIDGE. and were inclined to linger and watch the guard mount. Sharp bayonets emphasized the commands. Trolley cars sped from end to end of the bridges without a pause. The street car companies had been ordered to permit no hesitation by motormen. Among the naval militiamen who answered the call to report was Vincent Asor. There are about 2,000 men in the New York organization of the naval militia, but only the first and second battalions were originally called upon to contribute detachments. The First battalion had headquarters aboard the Granite State, at the foot of West Ninety-ninth street, where Commodore Forshew had his headquarters. The Second battalion, commanded by Captain Fitzgerald, was situated at the foot of Flirty-fifth street, South Brooklyn. Captain Fitzgerald established headquarters in the Hotel Sinclair, Brooklyn. From seventy-five to ninety men were detailed to each of the bridges. Groups were stationed at the anchorage and pler bases of the bridges, and from these points searchlights were flashed. Arc lights were suspended from the bridge floorings. A fifty foot dead line, prohibiting vessels from approaching nearer than fifty feet of plers of the bridges, was established. It was enforced by five tugs of the naval militia. These tugs cruise up and down the river. Each had three men armed with rifles besides an officer. The squadron was in command of Ensign Russell. Particular attention was centered on guarding the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges, inasmuch as destruction of either of these structures would prevent egress of war vessels from the navy yard. Besides the militiamen, a company of sailors from the battleship New Jersey were in duty on the Hell Gate railway bridge. LONG EAGLE FLIGHT. Tagged in Montana, It Was Killed Near Bonota, Columbia He released the bird the next day with a small bottle containing his name and address tied to its leg. Mr. Christian recently received a message from Luis Felipe Rulda, in the Republic of Colombia, stating that Rulda killed the eagle Oct. 29, 1916. The eagle flew 3,700 miles from Montana to the plains north of Bogota. When the bird was captured Mr. Christian planned to keep it as a pet, but it evinced such a desire to get away that he decided to mark it in some manner so as to determine its habits. Mr. Christian said that the bird was on its way south when it landed in his field exhausted. No. 301-2 Court Block, 24 E. 4th st J. Q. ADAMS, Manager. No. 2812 Tenth Avenue South J. N.

The following letter is self-explanatory. St. Paul, Minn., March 30, 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.

I hope your initiative may persuade many others to contribute like amounts. Very truly yours, (Signed) BOX NASH 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. THE MOST LOYAL GROUP: The colored people of Chicago had a patriotic rally recently. There were more than 5,000 persons in attendance at the main meeting and the overflow meetings. Strong resolutions were passed, in which they referred to themselves as "the colored citizens of Chicago," and declared that notwithstanding the fact that they were not treated as other American citizens and deprived of many of their rights of citizenship, they would not hesitate to give their lives for their country. That's loyalty and patriotism, greater than evinced by any other American group, because no other class is denied the rights of citizenship. The few Chicago papers who gave meager accounts of the meeting referred to the participants as "negros" and did not print one line of the resolutions. The following are the resolutions printed in one Chicago paper six days after the meeting was held: Mindful of the fact that from the hour of the formation of this nation, in every moment of its peril, our fathers have consecrated their lives to the protection of our country, our flag and our nation and have placed their hope for the full enjoyment of all the rights of American citizens in the pledge of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of this their country; And further mindful of the fact that because the American people in the midst of the terrible war devastating Europe, true to their traditions, have found it to be their duty to insist upon the observance of the sacred rights of humanity and neutrals on the part of belligerents, this action finds itself today on the brink of a war which will engage the entire resources of this country, material and patriotic; Be it resolved, That we, the colored citizens of Chicago in mass meeting assembled, do reaffirm our readiness to discharge every duty incumbent on an American citizen, notwithstanding the fact that all rights and privileges are not always accorded to us. Be it further resolved, That we reconstrate our lives, our energies and our resources to the protection of our country, our flag and our government, and that we hereby pledge to the president of the United States, Congress, the governor of Illinois, our unqualified loyalty and support in each and every exigency which may arise, and we do call upon all loyal citizens to co-operate with us. Be it further resolved, That as citizens of the State of Illinois we pledge our unqualified support to sustain and maintain the Eighth Regiment Infantry, National Guard, and bespeak for them the same high measure of devo- ```markdown ``` 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 th world, the counten the hearts of friend 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. be this demands true faith and ready hands; does not kill; e cannot buy; d a will; who will not lie; d demagogue atteries without winking! live above the fog e thinking. —J.

Governor Bickett of North Carolina has cabled Foreign Minister Milyoukov of Russia greetings to the new republic. "The State of North Carolina," the governor wired, "sends warmest greetings to the greatest republic of the old world. The high tides of human thought and feeling all set in your direction and all the stars of destiny smile on you. The Russian people have asserted their divine rights in joining the brotherhood of man, and may the Lord of Liberty keep them steadfast." Think of it! Old "No'th Ca'liny," home of the K. K. K., the jimcrow car, mob murder, segregation and damnation congratulating the new-born Russia, talking about the brotherhood of man and hoping that the "Lord of Liberty may keep them steadfast!" It's enough to make one snicker and snort. ANTI-RACE PREJUDICE BILL WINS. The Illinois State Senate has passed the Jackson anti-race prejudice bill by a vote of 33 to 7. The bill, already passed by the House, goes to the governor. Should he sign it, it would prohibit the production of "The Birth of a Nation" and similar pictures. It is believed that it would prohibit "The Lives of the Martyrs" and publications of that kind. It prohibits the showing in books, papers, pictures or stage of representations of lynchings or hangings, and prohibits the manufacture of anything that would incite race riots or prejudice. Dr. E. G. Hirsch of Chicago, is one of the most learned Hebrews in the world and he is quicker to see the dangers of segregation than some of his co-religionists. In a recent interview he said: "The idea of raising a Jewish regiment, which you say they plan to do in New York, seems to me utterly absurd," declared Dr. Emil G. Hirsch today, with reference to a report that Samuel Untermyer and other Jewish financiers of New York had pledged themselves to do everything within their means to recruit and outfit a Jewish regiment. "If Jews want to join the army, let them do so. But why organize a special Jewish regiment? You don't hear of any one's organizing a Catholic regiment, do you? The idea is ridiculous, and Jews who promote such things only add to the impression that the Jews are clannish." RUSSIA AHEAD OF UNITED STATES. While Russia has decided to abolish the ghetto and obliterate all racial lines, certain interests in the United States are endeavoring to extend jim crow laws and practices. The Jews of America have done many things to aid in the firm establishment of race hatred against the colored people of this country. One of the latest instances in the decision of a Jewish judge (at least we are so informed that he is a Jew, and if not, he is certainly un-American). Judge Joseph David of the superior court of Cook county, Illinois, who rules that "The Birth of a Nation" may be shown to minors in Chicago. Judge Joseph David in the superior court so ruled today when he granted the petition of the Epoch Producing company for a writ of mandamus compelling the city to issue a permit for n who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or the exhibition of the picture to old and young. The city's defense was that the picture was immoral and would arouse race prejudice in the minds of the children. 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 Gaelic war of the brave "Belgae," 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 women ravished, and many of their men reduced to practical slavery, have not been broken in spirit. Cardinal Mercier, 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. "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, private of Belgium, its grand prize of 15,000 franes ($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 constitutions 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" indental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A.'s, etc. Indeed, there is apparently the desire 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 burlesques, 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 Evening Post, one of the leading papers of the country, contained the following 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 an ism 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 Jown 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 Carrizal. 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. PLUTOCRATS DOING HARM Says the Saturday Evening Post: "The modern plutocratic ideal is to soar far away from the common lot and then volplane gracefully back to it. Why take the trouble to soar at all? Why not distribute the millions for the common weal before they are collected in the capacious individual reservoir?" Many of the men who have made great fortunes by questionable methods in some cases, and in nearly every case, by paying employees low wages. Carnegie made a great fortune and is now adding race prejudice by endowing jimcrow libraries in the South and Rosenwald the Jewish multimillionaire is using some of his money to aid the Christians in proving that their religion is a fake by building jim crow Y. M. C. A's all over the country. JIM-CROW SCHOOLS FOR RUSSIA. Russia is learning from the United States. The alleged republic is giving the despotism a few lessons in hellishness and race segregation. Mob murders are increasing in the United States while Russian programs are not so much in evidence as they were two or three years ago. Heretofore there were no segregated schools for Jews in Russia, malnaited by the government. Three per cent of the Jewish population were admitted to the public schools and universities. Now the cable tells us that a series of segregated high schools and industrial schools exclusively for Jewish students, similar to the Jim-crow schools of the Southern United States are to be established. So the work of hell devised in the South is continued in Holy Russia. American Christianity is a travesty on the-real article. The main object in the life of the average Caucasian-American Christian seems to be to hold his colored brother down. SANFIL MILLING CO.

Hungry women in New York asked for a million dollars with which to buy food for the poor, and President Wilson asked for $400,000 with which to investigate the cause of the high prices. That $400,000 would provide profitable employment for 400 deserving Democrats for six months, but it wouldn't help one of the hungry women of New York and other cities. Mrs. B. N. Murrell, St. Anthony Ave. entertained the Adelphia club on Tuesday afternoon. The topic taken was Japan. Mrs. K. E. Ingmundson gave a very pleasing address on that country. The house was appropriately decorated, while club members were seated on cushions on the floor, being protected from the colored lights with gay umbrellas; in this position they listened to the speeches and were served lunch. The Easter soiree of Mars Lodge, G. U. O. O. O.

However, the affair was quite pleasant for the select crowd of true blues that was present. The second "All-Star Concert" that was given Thursday evening at St James A. M.

D., preached a splendid sermon on "The Resurrection of Christ." Mr. J. Hazel Donaldson read his Easter Greeting on "The Resurrection," the choir rendered the cantata, "The Glory of the Garden," by Geidel. There seemed to be an outpouring of the Holy Ghost and fourteen persons joined the church. In the evening the Elks held their services there, of which more is said elsewhere. The total amount of money raised during the day and evening was $133.74, including the donation of the Elks to the pastor of $29.09. Madam Wilson Millinery THE APPEAL man while meandering about the city the other day, dropped into Madame Wilson's Millinery Store, 483 University avenue, and found one of the most attractive displays of ladies' and children's hats to be found in the city, and at prices just as attractive as the up-to-date millinery.

The famous Bernstein "Follies" series of 1917, is to be presented at the Star for one week only commencing April 15. Despite the fact that all Mr. Bernstein's offerings have been voted by local burlesque funders, best in burlesque, his forthcoming edition is said to excel in numerous ways 20 W. 5th Street, St. Paul any of the well-known manager's former entertainments. To select any one particular person in the company, as the star would be impossible, for it is practically an all-star show, in which every person who appears on the stage scores in whatever they are called on to score. The chorus is termed the Ziegfeld chorus of burlesque. Although Mr. Bernstein has a name for being able to gather the beauty of this country under his banner, he has gone a step further this year than any previous year in picking out his beauty chorus. A special feature will be Venus, the most perfect formed woman in the world, and her twenty-four diving beauties. ELKS' EASTER EXERCISES The Best and Most Inspiring Since the Organization of the Order. The annual joint Thanksgiving-Memorial service of Gopher Lodge 105, of St. Paul and Ames Lodge 106, of Minneapolis, was held at St. James A. M. E. church, St. Paul, last Sunday evening. Owing to the wide publicity that had been given to this service in THE APPEAL, and by the distribution of the handsome elaborate programs in the Twin Cities, coupled with the general interest, taken the occasion by the members of the order, the church was packed to capacity and every one who was present enjoyed the exercise, which were particularly inspiring, and left with the feeling in their breasts that it was well to have been there. The program, which was most excellent throughout, was as follows: Organ voluntary; invocation, Rev. J. M. Henderson; "Opening Ode," Elks; opening ritualistic exercises, conducted by George W. Stewart, E. R. Gopher lodge, presiding; baritone solo, Doe River—Burleigh, Charles H. Miller; Woods Tennant, George W. Holbert, P. G. E. K. Annie lodge; music, "Lead, Kindly Light," eulogy, "Gopher's Departed Brothers," Orrington C. Hall, P. G. T. P. E. R. Gopher lodge; solo, "The Holy City," Chas. H. Miller, Mrs. L. B. Graves, pantomime, Miss Florence Robinson, piano, Earl Blevin, violin accompanists, eulogy, "Ames" Departed Brothers, P. H. Southall, G. E. P. E. R., mesage lodge; duet, "Oh Perfect Day," mesage lodge; thantopsis, W. R. Morris, P. E. R. lodge bass, solo, "The Resurrection"; Earl Walker; Thankgiving-Memorial sermon, Rev. J. M. Henderson, D. D.; music, choir; offering, benediction, Rev. J. M. Henderson. It was the general concensus of opinion that the service was more instructive and inspiring than any ever held before; and that those present got a clearer conception of the order and that it stands for what was said by Geo. W. Holbert, O. C. Hall P. H. Southall and by Rev. Henderson, his remarkable twelve-minute sermon, than was generally known, and that it would tend to greatly increase the membership in the order. A special collection was lifted for Rev. Henderson and $29.09 was presented to him as a result, besides $24.50 having been raised for the church and $7.50 for missionary purposes.
