Will Act if Necessary as Halfway Station to Aid Northern Republic In Transportation of Troops and Muni-tions to Panama Canal or Other Points on Gulf. New Orleans—In addition to declaring war on Germany immediately following the lead of the United States government, Cuba will place 25,000 well trained troops—infantry, cavalry of the northern republic for the duration of the war. President Mario G. Menocal has issued an order to this effect, and Colonel Aurelio Hervias, Cuban minister of war, is apportioning these troops and selecting the officers who will accompany them. First news of this placing of a whole army division of Cuban troops at the orders of the United States was brought to New Orleans by Eduardo R. Mendoza, Cuban sugar expert, who has just returned from the war. "Cuba entered the great war largely in an effort to show its sincere friend." Photo by American Press Association. PRESIDENT MARIO G. MENOCAL. ship for the United States," said Mr. Mendez at his home. "The island is the key to the gulf of Mexico and to the Caribbean sea, and by declaring war on Germany Cuba closes all her ports to Germany. More than this, all the ports of Cuba now are open to the United States as a war ally for indefinite periods and for unlimited supplies of all kinds, whereas had Cuba not entered the war American warships would have been subjected to all restrictions of international law as to all kinds and amount of fuel obtainable there. "In other words, Cuba desires to be the outpost of the United States in the gulf and to act also if necessary as a halfway station to aid the northern republic in its transportation of troops and munitions of war to the Panama canal or to other points on the gulf or on the Caribbean sea. President Menocal has announced officially in Havana that the entire Cuban army of 25,000 men will be placed at the orders of the United States government and will be supplied with officers who speak English as well as Spanish, for service throughout the war. This quota, constituting an entire army division, will be kept to full enlilishment by constant training throughout the war, and 25,000 men with planes will be recruited to take the front or distributed wherever the United States wishes to use them. "Announcement also has been made that American warships will aid the Cuban navy in patrolling the waters around the island and such parts of the gulf as may be deemed necessary. The ill timed and badly advised revolution is at an end; General Gomez is a prisoner in Havana, and other revolutionists are being extradited from Haiti, to the full forces of the Cuban government can be turned to the prosecution of the war against Germany." BRITON ACTS AS GUARD Does Patrol Duty In Boston After Miliiaman Collapses. Boston.—A sailor of the British navy maintained a part of the water front patrol here, bearing the rifle of a national guardman who had collapsed on his post. The bluejacket, a member of the gun crew of a steamship which was tied up in port, found the guardman on the wharf where he had fainted.

St. Louis.—After an effort which involved a forty mile walk and appeals to the authorities of two Missouri towns, C. H. Brown, wanted on the Kansas state for forgery, succeeded in breaking into the Wyandotte county jail. Brown left town Jan. 23. Colcidentally an advertising company, by which he was employed, asked his arrest on a charge of forgery. For most of the month the police got no trace of the missing man. Then, the other day, a bedraggled individual walked into the office of the sheriff in Mexico, Mo. "I've walked forty miles to get here," he told the sheriff. "I'm want in Kansas City on a forgery charge, Do I go back?" An investigation disclosed that the story was true. Brown had tried to give himself up to a marshal in Hawk Point, Mo, but the marshal hadn't insisted. Then had come the long walk. Even the Mexico sheriff wasn't enthusiastic. Instead of putting Brown under arrest, he advised him that if he was really intent on getting in jail he might try the chief of police. Brown, being of a persistent nature, went to the chief. The chief telegraphed Kansas City, and a deputy sheriff returned with the prisoner. "Nothing unusual about it," said Brown when questioned. "I was tired of being around and hiding from the police, all I am ready to take my medicine now." The amount involved in the forgery was less than $20.

MAKING OFFICERS More Than 20,000 Are Required For United States Army. HOW TO OBTAIN COMMISSION Candidates Will Be Grouped by Cities, and Examining Officers Will Be Sent to Conduct Examinations at Central Points—First and Most Important Requisite Is Military Training. Washington—The new army will require more than 20,000 officers of the line, including those of the regular army and the reserve. In the next few months, therefore, opportunities will be open for thousands of capable young men to enter the military service. The method of obtaining a commission is not what it has heretofore been in times of emergency. The applicant may send his application to the secretary of war or he may, if he has acquaintance with his congressman or senator, send it through either of these. His application once on file in the war department, he will be notified as to every step necessary for him to take to qualify for a commission. Nationwide, his time, when the increment necessary crowded into a short period of time many requirements will be less rigorously enforced than in ordinary times. Candidates will be grouped by cities, and examining officers will be sent to conduct examinations at central points. Examining officers will conduct examinations in a selective manner, maintaining a ratio of one major to five captains, five first lieutenants and five or more second lieutenants. The first and most important requisite is military training, but military training must be a major to a man to the officers' reserve corps. He will be examined as to character and sobriety, personality, address and force, reputation and standing in his community, power to command respect of officers and men, and adequate education. Military efficiency, however, will determine the grade to which he will be appointed. In case of men who have had little or military training candidates will be required to obtain a second lieutenant subject to the thirty-second year age limit, provided they are college graduates, or seniors in college, or clearly well educated men, or have demonstrated ability in business, athletics or other activity and possess in a marked degree the ability to handle men. The war department expects that it will be possible under this to have training from forty to fifty good reserve officers of the line from each congressional district. Instructions to examining officers are to hold the general examination as to character and capability up to a high standard. Orders have gone out from the war department to speed up examinations and recommendations because it is recognized that it will require time to carry out many of even 500,000 men effective for the conditions of fighting employed in the present war.

At the outbreak of the war Cardiff had the largest export trade in the country. Freights began to increase. Ships doubled, trebled, quadrupled in value. Young business men, enterprising and daring, bought whole fleets on a speculative basis which almost a New York curb broker hesitate. Among the new millionaires of Cardiff are fourteen young men who before the war were shipping clerks earning not more than $10 a week. It has not been the owners only who have profited.

TRIBUTE TO YANKEE GENIUS. General Goethals, Chosen to Head Work, Has Never Been Forgiven by Germany For Constructing Panama Canal When German Experts Said It Could Not Be Accomplished. Washington. — The administration's program for building a vast fleet of wooden cargo ships to transport supplies to the allies and thus defeat the German submarine campaign was put under way when the shipping board formed a corporation to build and operate the vessel. Major General Goethals, who at the direction of President Wilson has agreed to supervise building of the ships, will come to Washington to take charge of the work as soon as he can arrange to leave his task of building New Jersey highways. F. A. Eustace, a Boston mining engineer, who with Photo by American Press Association. WILLIAM DENMAN, CHAIRMAN OF SHIPPING BOARD. Photo by American Press Association. WILLIAM DENMAN, CHARIAH OF SHIPPING BOARD. F. Huntington Clark, a New York engineer, conceived the idea of a wooden ship fleet, probably will be associated with him. The story of how the wooden ship-building plan grew from an idea conceived simultaneously by two mining engineers until it has taken a place in the forefront of America's war policy reveals that Yankee inventive genius recently was ready to meet the present emergency any time of national stress in the past. After Mr. Eustace and Mr. Clark had been called to Washington by Chairman Denman of the shipping board, and the board decided to take up the plan, Mr. Eustace decided to interest General Goethals and went to place the stimulator in the shipboard. The builder immediately seized on the plan as the one way by which the United States could do to aid the allies in defeating Germany. Then General Goethals was told the board wished him to take charge of the work. Reluctant at first to leave his post in New Jersey, the general finally was convinced General Goethals was chosen to head the work, it was explained, for three reasons—his capacity, his German descent and as a testimonial to the loyalty of American citizens of Teutonic extraction and because he is considered the one man in the United States most offensive to Germany. Germany, it has been said, has never forgiven the German officer, but accrued the canal when German experts said it could not be accomplished. In their efforts to persuade General Goethals to take charge of building the ships it was pointed out that he probably would spend before the war was over as much or more than was expended in building the canal. Troops to Get Bibles New York.-The American Bible society has issued an emergency call for $5,000 with which to provide large editions of New Testaments bound in leather, and to sailors through the Sunday School School association and the Young Men's Christian association.

FUND TO AID AMERICANISM. 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. Yours for Americanism, J. Q. ADAMS, Editor THE APPEAL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Ave., New York City. April 6, 1917. GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES That valiant defender of the rights of the colored people, John Mitchell, Jr., has an editorial in his paper, the Richmond Planet, which is a gem. We reproduce it in full: Dr. H. B. Frissell has issued a patriotic address to the colored people of the country and from every standpoint save one, it is an admirable production. We are disposed to take issue with him, however, when he says: "As Dr. Washington and Dr. Moton have proved by their lives of quiet, unpretentious service, the colored man is going to secure recognition, not by demanding his rights, but by deserving them." A right is a thing to be demanded; a privilege, a thing to be deserved. If Dr. Frissell had said that the colored man is going to secure recognition by demanding his rights and by deserving them, we would understand fully that he recognized that the citizen of color is entitled to every right and every privilege enjoyed by any other citizen. We pause to remark that the colored people in this country will never come unto their own as long as they believe that they are inherently inferior and that they are not manly enough to deserve their rights, and after deserving their rights, to demand them. The badge of servility, better known by the look of cowardice and the halting attitude of submission to any wrong, is what is handicapping us more than anything else. Colored people who could lead a charge at El Caney and San Juan Hill should walk upright, and, while being respectful and obliging, should demand their rights when necessary and "dig deep in their jeans" to secure the necessary legal rights which will make them respected by their enemies in the courts of this country. Manhood is what is wanted and not servile submission. A blooded white man hates a cringing citizen, be he black or white, and he admires manhood, self respect and courage in a Negro as much so as he does in an Englishman, Frenchman or a German. The colored man is going to obtain his rights, Dr. Frissell, by demanding them and by deserving them. Selah! THE GUARDIAN ON DR. FRISSELL. Commenting on the editorial in the Richmond Planet, which is printed in this issue, objecting to one of the points in Dr. Frissell's recent memorial, the Guardian says: "Thus saith in very truth the Planet. "We rise also to deny directly that the 'quiet service' lives of Booker Washington or of Russa Moton se- 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 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. cured recognition of rights. The most striking thing about the race-leadership career of Dr. Washington was that coincident with it went the greatest period of loss of citizenship and of legal debarment from rights ever known in any race and especially during the time Dr. Washington preached most pronouncedly the doctrine of 'quietly deserving' rights. No further exposition of that matter by us is any longer needed. "We warn Dr. Frissell against reviving the Booker Washington-no-egotiation issue. Dr. Washington's own friends do not relish or desire it." NOT A SEGREGATIONIST. A recent issue of THE APPEAL contained an editorial which referred to a statement of the Chicago Tribune that Mr. George H. Jackson, a wealthy real estate dealer of that city, had advocated segregation. The editor also wrote a letter to Mr. Jackson about the matter and his reply is now at hand. THE APPEAL has no desire to misrepresent anyone, so it is with pleasure that we print Mr. Jackson's letter in which he denies that he advocated segregation. He says that the Chicago Tribune wilfully misrepresented him and refused to make a correction when asked to do so. Mr. Jackson's letter follows: Chicago, Ill., May, 1917. Mr. John Q. Adams, Editor The Appeal, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir: Your letter received. I was misrepresented by the Chicago Tribune, which put into my mouth the words of one Eugene P. Manns. The Tribune refused to make a correction when asked to do so. Yours respectfully, GEORGE H. JACKSON. Now that it is known that it was Manns who advocated segregation, the colored people of Chicago ought to see that he is muzzled. He is a menace DEMOCRACY IN THE BALANCE. The validity of racial segregation ordinances of many cities has been argued before the full Supreme Court of the United States. The test case was that of a Louisville ordinance establishing residence zones for whites, and colored people. Baltimore, Richmond, St. Louis and many other cities have similar ordinances whose fate depends upon the court's decision in the Louisville case. Attorneys representing city authorities, improvement associations and colored societies, including some attorneys of national repute appeared. The case attracted little attention in the press of the country, although it is the most momentous question ever presented to the court of last resort. The fate of democracy itself rests upon the answer to the question whether the law can divide citizens into classes. What will the answer be? The meaning of the sudden "Hampton Patriotic Movement" now being pulled off in Chicago, Detroit and other Northern cities isn't quite clear. THE APPEAL has received a number of letters and newspaper clippings from the daily papers bearing on the subject and gleans from them the idea that there is something queer about the "movement." The papers state that one Dr. Charles F. Taylor of New York, one of the leaders in the "movement" who is now making speeches in Chicago, where the segregation question has reached an acute stage, has on several occasions asserted to white audiences: "The negro wants segregation as much as or more than the white man." This statement is not only false, but it is dangerous and unfriendly doctrine to be disseminated by the representative of an institution which claims to stand for "Christian" training and "uplift" and all that sort of stuff. The writer of one of the letters received by THE APPEAL, states that she visited the Hampton exhibit at the Hotel La Salle where she was informed by the charming lady who has charge of the exhibit, that "the DARKIES are making great progress." What does it mean? "WHAT OF THE COLORED MAN?" The Irish in America are striving to have the United States to intervene and aid in the settlement of the home rule question. Frederic Harrison, the author and authority on International Law in a letter to the London Morning Post, says: "What would the Americans do if we intervened in one of their dilemmas? What would they say if our former ministers, doctors, and preachers were to summon them with passionate appeals to raise up their colored citizens to equal human dignity, to wipe the national stigma off the commonwealth—that every man or woman born with dark skin is born into shame, exclusion, and the life of a parish race?" A VETO AND A LESSON Governor Lowden of Illinois has vetoed the Jackson bill, aimed at "The Birth of a Nation" and similar moving picture productions "tending to produce race hatred." The governor based his action on an opinion from Attorney General Brundage, holding the bill to be unconstitutional and impracticable in its provisions. The bill was introduced by Representative Jackson, a colored member from Chicago. "The language of the bill is so vague, uncertain, indefinite and ambiguous as to fix no standard by which one may know what he is prohibited from doing," said the governor in his veto message. "The object is indeed meritorious." There is a lesson in this veto by a friendly Republican governor. All bills introduced by colored legislators or at the instance of the colored people for the purpose of preventing injustice to the race, should be carefully drawn by competent lawyers. No doubt, Hon. Edward H. Morris, the famous attorney, or almost any of the many capable lawyers in illi nois would have prepared a bill which would stand the test of the courts. DRAW COLOR LINE-MEET OFF. Refusal of Southern students at the Lake Forest Academy to compete against a colored athlete led to the calling off of the track meet scheduled for last Saturday afternoon, between that institution and the New Trier Township high school in Cook county, Illinois. The colored athlete is Kelly of New Trier, who was entered to participate in the dashes. The academy from "Dixie" refused to compete with New Trier while he was on the team and the meet was called off. The white Southerners in addition to their race prejudice also had the fear that they would be defeated by the team with the colored man on it. "WASTING FOOD." The food question is such an all absorbing topic with the people generally in these strenuous war times, together with the high cost of living, that anything that can help to solve these problems will be hailed with joy. An article from a daily contemporary is so apropos that we reproduce it in its entirety: "Almost as much food is wasted as is eaten in the United States. Neither housekeepers nor restaurateurs gauge portions according to the probabilities of reasonable consumption. "It has been pointed out that there would be no real food economy if persons of means should stop buying expensive foods or expensive cuts of beef. Instead the food situation would be seriously disturbed. The demand for cheap foods would increase their price, and the reduced demand for luxuries would injure those engaged in their production. What is most desirable is to stop waste. Those who overheat in these times of scarcity and increased demand are slackers in an inverted sense. They should consume less food and money. The housekeeper can do her bit by ordering just enough to satisfy the wants of the household, by gauging such wants more carefully and by seeing to it that nothing is thrown away. "Hotel and restaurant proprietors can assist by serving smaller portions at lower prices. Instead of raising their prices to customers, let them decrease the size of the portions served when the cost of their raw materials goes up. "Waste is America's greatest sin. It cannot be overcome by legislative action, nor is co-operative action the remedy. Individual care, which must necessarily be without public praise or attention, but which will be of real national service nevertheless is what is needed. Patrons who are served with more food than a single person could be expected to consume can perform a valuable service by directing attention to the waste. An occasional demand for a second order would be far better than constant waste. 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 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 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" dental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A.'s, etc. Indeed, there is apparently a 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 burlesged, 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!" M. APPEAL'S EDITORIALS HAVE "POISE, LOGIC AND COURAGE." Hon. Richard T. Greener, Late U. S. Consul at Vladivostok, Eminent Scholar, Literateur, Writer and Diplomate and Personal friend of the Great Charles Sumner, Lauds THE APPEAL. As one who knew Sumner and tried to practice his theories I wish to express my hearty approval of your utterances in THE APPEAL and I can urge them as competent opinions. I congratulate you on the poise, logic and courage of your editors. HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE. The Following Article is Taken From The Cleveland Gazette, an iso is One of Many Such That Have Appeared From the Trenchant Pen of Rev. William A. Byrd—Read and Ponder. That Hampton and Tuskegee have done much good for the colored race and the country at large, no sane man will deny, but there is a serious question as to the harm they have also done. Hampton in Virginia emphasizes humility for colored men. Tuskegee in Alabama emphasizes nonresistance and deep respect for "southern traditions." Such men as Seth Low and many others have built and do maintain Tuskegee because they hope through it to uplift the race problem in measure solve the race problem. This policy is its one-sidedness. These men constantly advise the colored race to be patient while the white men continually heap upon them more and grievous burdens. Colored men are continually reminded that the southern white man is his "best friend" and this white "friend" is continually showing his friendship by oppression, violence and death. Besides these evils both Hampton and Tuskegee for the kind of education the south has tried to tolerate—industrial training to tolerate—industrial training to teach the nigger how to be a good servant." From Tuskegee a sentiment of this kind goes out over the country. The head of Tuskegee must stand for this sentiment or fight like a man and quit; or acquire like a "good nigger" and be allowed to remain. No one can sit and hear a lecture from Hampton's teachers with out being impressed with the fact that for the course, secured for Major Moton, he was chosen head of Tuskegee, a very humble pling place in Syracuse, N. Y. but he himself stopped at the "Onandaga," the most expensive and exclusive hotel in that city. When a protest was made against such, he said that he regretted it, but did not want it published. He should have been more of a man than to have done such a thing where discrimination is unlawful. For Major Moton to stop in the same place, he would be too much like equality to the president of Tuskegee N. & I. Institute an "agent of Hampton," who chance to have a white skin." Mind you, an agent begging the public for a chance to present his black school progeny Major Moton was very wise when he told his New York audience a few days ago that he did not aspire to be the leader of the colored people in this country. No southern man who could make his living there can be this leader. Major Moton must suppress his own resentment at injustice in order to help him can for his race. Heads of southern schools cannot be the leaders in civic and national matters pertaining to colored people. In church and state schools these teachers must accept the southern policy. The colored race is unalterably opposed to accepting anything as its portion which any other self-respecting race would not accept. Theanger of Hampton and Tuskegee is helping up a manhood of weaklings and non-resistant. They are making colored believe that they are right when they humbly take southern sand and say they have sugar. These institutions should remain and be encouraged. BUT THEIR POLICY SHOULD BE CHANGED. The colored youth should be taught to shun bullysm, but love THE SIN OF SILENCE 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. (Signed) Richard T. Greener- to embrace those principles of courageous manhood which resent wrong when wiffully and maliciously given. The weight of these institutions will be sought to stem the tide of emigration from the south. We hope they will speak out and utter the truth. The colored people of the south have nothing to fear by leaving there. They may die by reason of the cold in this section (and this it not at all probable) but that is more merciful than dying by the rope and at the north their children are accustomed to the education any child receives and ambition will not be curtailed by making them believe and recognize the fallacy that they are inferior to some one else. If the south desires the black people to remain there let them lift the embargo on education, voting, protection of life and property, and discontinue "jim-crowism." segregation and general censure. Black people are insulted when they are asked to accept such as their portion. The trustees of Hampton University should recognize the fact that they are not fail if they continue to try to build a race that is too weak and cowardly to demand its rights. These white trustees should demand for their wards a greater degree of freedom of thought and action than they now have. The pandering to the wishes of the south is not making it better for the colored race but it is firmly establishing a policy which the whole race will be asked to accept. Now, colored people not in the south are not the ENF. They accept the policy of the South. The colored men working there have the sympathy of those of us who are not they who we will not stand for any loudmouthed proclaiming that the colored race should accept the policy as taught by Hampton and Tuskegee. Major Moton is wise in doing the best he can under the most unfavorable conditions so far as real manhood is concerned, but he is unwilling to advocate what he has to accept and to live his race. We take off our hat to him in the time we ripe for such institutions as Atlanta and Fisk Universities asceive their meed of praise. These institutions have not wavered in their demand for the best and highest for our people. Their plan—social justice and manly recognition of worth wherever it is found regardless of race—is deserving the highest praise. Too much money cannot be given them for their great work. (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 when one considers the height and depth of the starry sky and depth of the starry spirit that wavers and glows through Wagner and Shakespeare, Tolstol and Mollère! Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with siege-takers to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand on the great bells ringing in their towers, the poets of their poets overriding the years by the prayers and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the world world. We are all alike. I will not say of any others. I will not say of any of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself! 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. ```markdown ``` Of One Blood # ST.

PAUL Defective Page Ex-Police Officer Acquitted of Charge of Murdering White Man. Wesley Gresham, ex-police officer, was acquitted by a jury of the charge of murdering Martin Larson, a white man, in District Court, St. Paul, Tuesday, May 1, 1917. It was claimed that on the night of March 24, 1917, after the closing hours of the saloon, Gresham went into the saloon, corner Carroll, went into the room, and demanded that he be served. 241 WESLEY GRESHAM. drink, and refused to pay for it and shot the bartender, Martin Larson, who died instantly. Gresham proved that he went into the saloon, bought and paid for a drink, and that the proprietor locked him in the saloon, and that he was attacked by three men. One of the men struck at him with a policeman's knife while they threw bottles at him and the proprietor shot at him with a revolver. Mr. Gresham was defended by Attorney J. Louis Ervin of St. Paul, whose able efforts resulted in the acquittal of his client. The decision is quite a victory for Attorney Ervin, since the case is the first in many years, if not the very J. LOUIS ERVIN. first in the history of St. Paul, where a colored man accused of killing a white man was defended by a colored attorney unaided by a white attorney, and where the verdict was an acquittal. Gresham also is to be congratulated upon his good fortune. Mrs. Gresham worked very faithfully in her husband's behalf and was of great help to him in his troubles. She is now one of the happiest women in town. AVOID the High Cost Of Living By Grow- ing Your Own Vegetables in Your Own Garden.

EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL knows whether he or she has paid for it or not. EVERY PERSON who receives THE APPEAL is expected to pay for it; and, it is, no, not by honor and law not to do so. THIS APPLIES TO EVERY ONE, WITHOUT EXCEPTION. Are you, reader, honest, honorable and law-abiding? Think about it. are asking? Think about it. There is no law to compel any one to receive a newspaper who does not wish to do so, but there is a law that compels one to pay for a newspaper if it is received. There are many persons who receive THE APPEAL as regularly as it is issued, but who have failed to pay for it. Think about it. Don't stop at thinking about it, either, but kindly come or send to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one single subscriber or list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is not a law or order to offend any one, but if this article is marked with a blue pencil it is to remind you that YOU owe for THE APPEAL. Please come or send to the office, Court Block, 24 E. 4th street, suite 301-302, third floor, and pay what you owe. Take elevator. Law of Subscription. Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscribing express, are considered as wishing to send them to the publisher. If subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed, or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. Subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorised to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearages is made.
