Hoover, Chairman of Food Board, who Distinguished Himself as Head of Belgium Relief Commission, Urges American People to Profit by Mistakes Made Abroad. Washington. — Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the new national food board created by the board of national defense, who distinguished himself as head of the commission of relief in Belgium, urges American people to profit by the mistaken mode abroad in administering war relief. He recommends that all relief work be centralized under the direction of the Red Cross. Mr. Hoover makes a plea for the prompt organization and centralization of all volunteer civilian efforts for the assistance of the army and of Photo by American Press Association. HERBERT C. MOOVER. navy. In a letter to Eliot Wadsworth, acting chairman of the American Red Cross, he says: "Every country in Europe has gone through an era of disintegrated, overlapping effort, the multiplication of thousands of committees and tons of useless, inpropos and wrongly destined material. "In England and France especially the erection of special and independent committees has been fruitful of the most extreme difficulties until they accept direct control, after which they have become of the utmost use and purpose. "As a result of the past two and a half years' experience of war all European countries now know the vital centralization of the whole of the military connected with the comfort of those in the service of the army and the navy. "There was a long struggle on the part of the military and Red Cross officials to get those matters on to a systematic and effective basis. In any event, the general principle must be that the Red Cross itself is the centralizing operation, operating by intense decentralization of its productive and distributing functions, and this has been arrived at as the only possible solution, after an enormous lot of pain, turmil and waste. "The work of the women, which is a very large factor in Red Cross work, must be co-ordinated through the central agency, the representation of the women in that central agency proved the only effective method of securing this. The already established women's organizations of various kinds can find their best purpose in instructing their local bodies to place themselves entirely at the disposal of the local chapters of the Red Cross." GIVES UP JOB FOR COUNTRY. Receiving $10,000 Yearly, Will Fight For $18 a Month. St. Louis—Carlos S. Greeley, St. Louis representative of E. H. Rollins & Sons, New York brokers, has given up his $10,000 a year position to fight; for Uncle Sam at $18 a month. He will go to San Francisco to serve in the coast patrol. Greeley departed for Chicago after attending a farewell dinner given in his honor by friends. Greeley's friend hope to raise sufficient money to buy a submarine chaser and present it to the government. **INSANITY INCREASE** **ATTRIBUTED TO WAR.** Chicago—Insanity has been on the increase in Chicago since the United States declared a state of war with Germany. One hundred and thirty cases were heard by County Judge Scuily, of which extra were men. The judge declared that the cases war was directly or indi- rectly responsible for the mental condition of the defendants. COLLEGE TO SEND OUT MEN TO AID FARMERS Each Agriculturist Taking Student Must Cultivate Extra Acres. Philadelphia. — The University of Pennsylvania will be the first of American colleges to tackle the food supply problem, which has recently taken on a serious aspect, according to plans announced at the university by Dr. J. Russell Smith, professor of industry, who has charge of the movement. Students are to be sent out in squads from five to fifty to all sections of the country to assist farmers in planting and cultivating spring crops. Every student signing will be given credit for his year's work and be sent out immediately. Students will be placed on farms at a minimum salary of $20 a month. In each one of the battalions there will be a captain, who is to have charge of the men in his unit, university, referee all disputes between employer and students and report each upon to the university. Each farmer upon to the university of the students as helper must promise to cultivate twelve acres more of land than he has heretofore. Dr. Smith claims that at a conservative estimate each man sent out will thus be responsible for 429 extra bushels in the corn crop alone, which means that the first fifty men who leave for western Virginia will add some 21,000 bushels of corn to this year's crop. MARINE CORPS WANTS TO GO ABROAD FIRST General Barnett Says He'll Have No Trouble Raising 30,000 Men. Washington.—American marines will insist on their right to be the first United soldiers in the European trenches, Brigadier-General George Barnett to the house navy committee, explaining the reason for the proposed increase from 17,400 to 30,000 in the marine corps. General Barnett, commandant of marines, said the morale and spirit of the men would be seriously affected unless they were "first men" as usual of the United States expeditionary armed forces. He said he would have no difficulty in getting the 30,000 men, who were getting them as fast as we can digest them, as they need the force. Read Admiral Palmer, chief of the bureau of navigation, explained the navy's needs for an increase from 87,000 to 150,000 men. "The navy will need 5,000 men for aviation," he said. "Twenty men are needed for each submarine chaser. From twenty to men will be needed on each armed merchant ship. There must be full crews for all auxiliary and reserve ships." MAKES HIS OWN COFFIN. Spent Weeks at Work; When Completed Weighed 700 Pounds. Lafayette, Ind.-William Watkins, fifty years old, for many years propietor of a sawnill at Kentland, learned a few months ago that he could not live long. He succeeded to build a coffin for himself, using solid black walnut. He spent weeks making it. When completed it weighed more than 700 pounds. Watkins was brought to St. Elizabeth's hospital, and recently he died. The coffin was shipped from Kentland, and his body has been placed in it. He was buried at Delphi, his former home. The weight of the coffin made it neces- sary to lift the man to men to lift it on and off the train. Watkins widow and four children survive. SEARCHING FOR MOTHER. She Has Been Missing Eighteen Years, but Daughter Tries Again. Los Angeles, Cal.-A search for her mother, whom she has not seen for eighteen years, was started in this city the other day by M. E. Stephens, who was Miss Bessie Dent of San Jose and who is with her husband at the Hotel Austin, Fifth and Cracker streets. The mother is now Mrs. Frank Fagalde and formerly was Mrs. Joseph Dent. Mrs. Stephens and her husband intend to establish their home here, and both of them wish to find Mrs. Stephens' mother. CRIBBAGE UNDER GROUND. Game Lasted Six Months and Was Played in a Mine. Woodrow, Minn.—A cribbage game played in the bowels of the earth and running up to 100,000 points was finished the other night by Gus Raymond, a miner, and William Gibralm, pumpman, of the Wilcox mine here. The sitting lasted six months. Raymond was on 207 points. The game was played in the pump house, 250 feet underground. Gibralm once held a "twenty-nine" band, which cribbage mathematicians say happens about once in ten years of continuous playing. Offers Fifteen Sons to Nation. Crystal Springs, Miss.—I have not one, but fifteen sons, to give to the army and to give to a willingly do so." said John Sullivan, a nine-year near here. He is the father of twenty children. All the fifteen sons will come within the military age limit and are willing to go. So is Mr Taylor. SAN MARINO ON THE MAP. Flag of World's Oldest Republic to Be Entrusted With It All New York—The managers of the hotels and public buildings that are now decorated with flags of the allies are very likely to be brought to task by some stanch patriot if the flag of his country, no matter how small or little talked of, does not prominently figure in the scheme. An excitable stranger accosted H. Douglas Brown, assistant manager of a hotel here, and demanded volubly to know why a flag of San Marino was the other ones in front of the hotel. For the manager was overheated, but final, the man was one of the ten thousand odd inhabitants of San Marino and that he and his relatives, making up most of the population, wanted it understood that they and their army of 950 were now allies of this "very great countree." In some distress of mind Mr. Brown went to the decorator's room, but no San Marino flag could be found, so a special order was given, and within a two square mile wide republic—twenty-two square miles of the world's oldest, having existed there sand years, will have its place beside its greater allies. MUST PAY $25 MONTHLY. Embezzler Released on Parole to Make Good on Installation Plan. Little Rock, Ark.-On monthly payments of $25, B. G. Anderson is under parole from a six year term in the penitentiary to make good more than $8,000 obtained from the state through forgery and embezzlement. Within two hours after his plea of guilty and sentence in the court circuit Governor Brough had issued the parole on the condition stipulated. On the basis of settlement, Anderson will be paying the monthly installments for about twenty-one years. He is thirty-eight years old and has a wife and three children. Anderson was a clerk in the penitentiary. The forgery committed by him was warrant for $5,000, to which he attached a J.T. Burkett, a prison commissioner, and the embezzlements were three in number, aggregating more than $1,000. Governor Brough did not base his clemency altogether upon the repayment of the money wrongfully obtained. He explained that Anderson had given valuable information upon which important reforms in the prison system were easily possible. PLOW BY ELECTRIC LIGHT. Chicago Expects One Hundred Thousand and Back Lot Gardens. Chicago—Plowing by electric light, as has been done in England, was begun here in furtherance of the back lot garden movement. Because the garden commission's ten tractors now at work are insufficient night work was decided on. It is estimated that there would be more gardens in Chicago this summer. The company more applications from amateur farmers than there is land available. All unused lands of the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway company will be offered for the raising of foodstuffs, it was decided by the company's executive officers. Arrangements for cultivating the lands will be made by the company, and a bureau through the department of agriculture at Washington and the agricultural divisions of all the state universities along the line. KING ASKS FOR FORGIVENESS Leads Children to Pray For "Them That Trespass Against Us" London. - A dozen children, lean from semestaration, came out of their cellar school near Furnes. Belgium, where heaps of battle rubbish mock the site of thousands of homes, and, going to the shell smashed crucifix at the crossroads, knelt to say their prayers. A Belgian officer without any insignia of rank stood near, aback, identifying the detonation of the distance, the gun faction. The children said their prayers as far as they give us our trespasses as" Then there was silence, for they could say no more. The Belgian officer concluded the petition: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive them that trespass against us." The Belgian officer was Albert, the king. FAITHFUL TO SICK COW. Probably Owes His Own and Three Children's Lives to It. Baker, Ore.-Fred Spencer probably owes his and his three children's lives to his faithfulness to a sick cow. He arose in the cold at 1 o'clock in the morning and went to the barn to give medicine to the sick cow. When on his way he saw flames issuing from a defective fire, and a moment later the house was filled with fire. He fought his way back and with great difficulty carried his three little ones from their beds in their night clothes. The house was new and had been occupied only four months. $1,489,370 HILL TAX PAID. Minnesota Gets Check For Biggest Levy on Inheritance. St. Paul—A check for $1,489,370 as the inheritance tax on the $510,000 estate of the J. Hill J. Hill was presented by the W. Hill to M. J. O'Malley, the largest single tax payment ever by an individual in Ramsey county. Of the money the city and county get back 10 per cent from the state. Defective Page TANK LIKE BIG HOG Straddles Trenches, Crushes Barbed Wire, Rakes Foe. GREAT AID TO ALLIED DRIVE. Captain Sweeny, American, Who Single Handed Captured Machine Gun and Six Germans, Will Assist Ordnance Department of This Country Preparing Tanks For Service. Washington.-The French infantry that won so much ground in the Champagne region advanced as a supporting force to numerous batteries of caterpillar tractors, or "tanks," boggles in appearance, that crept forward with a persistence which the German troops remaining in their shell battered trenches could not check and which assured the polisus of protection as they dug in upon their advanced lines. So that an American army can know about these tanks if sent abroad Captain Charles Sweeny, a native of Spokane, Wash., and a member of the Foreign legion of the French army, is now in this city, where he will assist ordinance experts in preparing similar land cruisers for service. He returned recently from France. Captain Sweeny is a West Pointer, but when the fighting began he was found in the French army. He started to be a mate in the infantry. He wanted to be the quick of it, so chose that branch of the service and during his campaign was in many battle. He was awarded the cross, the Legion of Honor for valor and moted to leutenant when, singlehanded, he captured a machine gun and six Germans. Very little has been written in this or any country regarding the French tanks. The first few used by the French army went into action about the same time the British put therls in the field. It was not until the great offensive began this spring that the patrols trotted forward in support of the tanks, and put the tanks, "zanzans," as they called them. The best way to describe a French tank is to compare it with a giant hog, kneeling so that its short legs cannot be seen, and creeping forward as it roots in the ground. A rain of lead pours from its sides as it proceeds, and heavier shot and shell are showered upon any position where machine guns of the Germans may remain in action as it straddles a shell directly upon tank. Holding a shell directly upon tank can put out of commission. Bullets from German rapid fireers and the infantry rifles are powerless. Hand grenades do it no damage. Exactly how the French get the tanks to their first line trenches in preparation for attack is a secret, and for the present nothing on that phase of the use of them can be published. The well trained mechanicians and riders are ready when it is time to start, and when the tank gets into action. It straddles trenches crushes through barbed wire and rakes the foe with guns. COLLEGE GIRLS READY. Western Women Apply For Work in Munition Factories. Chicago—College girls are ready to take the places of men who may be called from their regular duties to go to the front. Many of them have applied for technical positions at the Chicago collegiate bureau of occupations to take up the work when the college will be in college are changing in increasing numbers to training in manual and technical work. The collegiate bureau has started a survey of the situation in Chicago and, according to an announcement of Miss Helen Bennett, head of the bureau, will endeavor to furnish trained workers for occupations that are vital to the welfare of the country in time of war. In the last few days many young women have applied for positions in munitions factories. One girl said she had a motorboat to offer to the government and that she would like to operate it in connection with coast defense duty. ABRUZZI TO HEAD MISSION. Italy Will Send Marconi Here With Other Experts. Rome...Although the Italian mission to the United States has not yet been officially appointed, its chief members have already been decided upon. They include the Duke of the Abruzzi, cousin of the late John F. Kennedy, navy, who will be the head of the mishap. Senator William Marconi will also be a member. Senator Titton, former minister of foreign affairs, was also expected to join the party, but has found it impossible to go. The mission will include well known military, naval, financial and industrial experts. Saw Snake Swallow Young. Waterbury, Conn. —The statement that the United States will send young men with emphatic denial by M. Scott of Jacksonville, Fla. "On the Baird farm," he says, "east of Steele's brook, below the old suspender shop in Oakville, about sixty years ago, I saw snakes about four inches long, as I remember them, run into the mouth of a corn streaked or chicken snake. I could not say how many there were, killed with a hoe twenty-two young, and the old one made twenty-three." OFFICE BOY NOW MUST BE A CHAUFFEUR TOO Business Men Send Youths to Drive Cars Around Block. Philadelphia. Requirements for office boys have automatically risen with the new ordinance regulating the parking of automobiles in central streets of this city. Advertisements for "Boy Wanted" now conclude with something like this: "Must be experienced in driving motorcars or will learn to learn." Here's the reason: Suburbanites who drive their cars to their offices in the city in the morning cannot leave the autos parked in the street as they could formerly. In a section of Chestnut street where there are several big office buildings, for example, cars must not be left standing for more than half an hour at a time. So every half hour the business man sends his office boy to the street to drive his auto around the block. If his business man locks a chauffeur the business man goes himself. But this makes valuable time, and added to the expense of starting up the car and moving it around the block sixteen times a day for six days a week, it costs money. Hence the demand for office boys who are also chauffeurs. SPORTSMEN PLAN TO WIPE OUT THE ENGLISH SPARROW Will Ask Governor of Every State to Aid In Work. New York.—The League of American Spotters, whose object is the preservation of birds, is considering the question of intaguration wide campaign for the destruction of the English sparrow. Its officials say this bird has made such headway here that it is driving out the smaller song and insectivorous birds and that it has become a question of whether we will have only the English sparrow to represent our bird life or destroy it and regain some fifty species of useful and beautiful birds that used to inhabit farms and countryside all over the country. The league intends to issue a proclamation declaring war on the English sparrow and setting aside a week, possibly in April or May of next year, to be devoted especially to waging it. The governor of every state will be asked to aid the work. Printed instructions as to the plan of the campaign will be sent to the mayors of all incorporated cities and villages, to the heads of the school systems in every county of the state, to the heads of preparatory schools, to the heads of the boy scouts in each state and to other organizations which might be expected to extend sympathy and aid. Four principal methods of action will be employed: Tearing down the nests, trapping the birds, shooting them under police supervision and under licenses issued by the police authorities, and in cities where water pressure is being at night after they have gone to roost. WOMAN 100 YEARS OLD. Mrs. Van Sickle Takes Active Part In Her Birthday Celebration. Sussex, N. J.-Surrounded by her six children, twenty grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, to say nothing of a host of relatives, friends and neighbors, Mrs. Sarah Van Sickle of Wantage township, two miles from her celebrated her one hundredth birthday, twenty years later, in the celebration and urged the ones to dance and play games while she looked on and directed things. Mrs. Van Sickle was born and has lived in this part of New Jersey all her life. She said that her health was good and that she felt no older than she did thirty years ago. She is still able to read without the aid of glasses and is a daily reader of the newspaper and playing machine still claims much of her time, but she is not able to thread the needle as dexterously as once. BABEL OF TONGUES Alien Residents to Be Taught English at Night Classes. Bayonne, N. J.-In an effort to Americanize this city Preston H. Smith, superintendent of schools here, will institute this fall and winter night classes for the instruction of its population in the English language. Of its 70,000 inhabitants Bayonne has 35,000 who speak foreign tongues. He will adopt the language of the republic Mr. Smith believes that it will be better for business, better for education and much better in case of strikes. As he pointed out, when one side in a labor dispute does its arguing in a speech in comprehensible to the other side there is not much chance of a satisfactory settlement. Financier Some Farmer Too. Winsted--Connecticut farmers must take off their hats to George B. Case of Wall Street, New York. who has owned on his estate in Norfolk one of the best crops of corn ever mixed in the state. Here is what the crop cost him: Cost of plowing three and a half acres; $25; cost of phosphate; $40; cost of planting; $5; cost of cultivation; $30; cost of lime; $12.50; total. $112.50. Estimated yield of corn, 600 bushels, worth $300. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. JAPANESE OF WEST PLANNING TO ENLIST Adopt Resolution Pledging Their Loyalty at San Francisco Meeting. San Francisco.-The Japanese of the Pacific coast have testified to their loyalty to the United States in a resolution adopted here at a mass meeting of Japanese, which pledged their support of the government in any capacity in which they may be needed. As a preliminary step they decided to operate in Red Cross work, and in case of further need they plan to enlist in actual service. The local Japanese also issued a proclamation commending the president and the government for what they describe as a true stand for humanity in the world's crisis and asking the privilege of serving the country whose laws protect them. Reports reaching here tell of a patriotic movement on foot in Honolulu carried by Japanese to raise a division of the reserves from the ranks of the 15,000 Japanese in the Hawaiian Islands. Resident American in Hawaii say that the Japanese on the islands have displayed an eagerness to establish their loyalty to the Stars and Stripes. THIEVES GET MILLIONS LOOTING BRITISH ARMY Stores and Supplies Stolen, Mules and Horses Disappear; Also Blankets and Milk. London.—The annual loss to the British army through petty thievery and pifling of stores and supplies has been estimated at $25,000,000. Some account of the manner in which this huge sum disappears is given by the auditor general of army accounts. A military-shaft division ammunition column and a plow placed at Bordon camp in soil that was too sandy to hold the picketing gear. One night the mules broke loose, and $5,000 worth of mules were never recovered. A lot of horses mysteriously disappeared at Abassia, leaving a deficit of $30,000. A civilian foreman at Romey carelessly gave thirteen horses an overdose of sulphur, and the horses died; loss, $4,000. Plistos worth $1,750 were lost on the way to Egypt. Troops smoked in a boulder and fell alive to the barn and destroyed $2,000. Scores of cases are cited where the mysterious disappearance of blankets has cost the army thousands of dollars. Condensed milk worth $1,000 disappeared from a cargo between Alexandria and Sollom owing to pifling by the mercantile marine crews on board. Since the appointment of conductors to accompany ships these losses have virtually ceased. Military clothing worth $1,000 was seized inchester, where some one who signed the "Corpl. Barnes" took it over. The consignment was lost at this point, and so was Corpor Barnes. DEER EATS WASHING Court Dault Lienienty With Man Who Shot It. Highland Falls, N. Y.-Edwin Adolph, a farmer, of Fort Montgomery, near Highland Falls, was dealt with lenient in court here when he showed that he shot a big buck because in browsing on his premises it ate part of the family washing, which was hung out to dry. Deer, according to Mr. Adolph, who faced a possible $500 fine, have been pestering him for several months. They destroyed part of his crops, he declared, and recently began to cheat the young trees he had just set out. When this he showed part of a bed sheet and a table cloth the hunter on the clothesline in the orchard Adolph lost his patience and shot it. The game warden told the magistrate a light fine would satisfy him, and Adolph paid $25. SHE WANTS TO BE AVIATOR. Wife of Federal Land Bank's Head Offers Her Services. New York—Mrs. Leonard G. Robinson, wife of the newly appointed president of the Federal Land banks, made application for a place in the United States flying corps. In a few days Mrs. Robinson will go to Springfield, Mass., to try out several aeroplanes before deciding on which one she will use. "The woman of means is under greater obligation to serve than women who do not have their families," she said. "Women of wealth must have leisure to serve their country, but, in addition, death would not bring the sufferings and misery as in the death of a woman on whom a family of little ones is dependent." PELICANS CUT OFF LIGHT FROM CITIES. Lake Elsinore, Colo.—The Southern Sierras Power company has been building a new power plant by late with pelicans dying from Lake Elsinore and striking the high transmission wires, creating a short circuit and putting several towns out of service for electric light. A large number of birds have been killed by the 33,000 volt line. $2.40 PER YEAR SUFFRAGISTS AID Propose to Train Women In Agricultural Work. National American Woman Suffrage Association Offers to President Services of the Organization, Numbering 2,000,000 Women—War Work In Four Branches Now In Full Swing. New York—Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, honorary president of the National American Woman Suffrage association, has just been named as chairman of a committee on woman's defense work, officially admitted by the Council of National Defense. The council's announcement said: "Realizing the inestimable value of woman's contribution to national effort under modern war conditions, MRS. BENNETT MRS. BENNETT Council of National Defense has appointed a committee of women of national importance to consider and advise how the assistance of the women of America may be available in the prosecution of the war. These women are appointed as individuals regardless of any organizations with which they may be associated." Among the members of the women's committee are the Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association. On Feb. 25 officers of Mrs. Catt's association assembled in Washington and offered to the president of the United States the loyal services of the organization, numbering 2,000,000 women, for the following program: The establishment of employment bureaus for women, the increase of the food supply by the training of women in agriculture and the elimination of waste, the work of the Red Cross and the Americanization of aliens. Four branches are now in full awing throughout the country under the direction of the National American Woman Suffrage association.

New York.—The Aero Club of America announces that more than 3,000 applications have been received for enlistment in the aerial reserve corps and several hundred more for membership in the naval reserve flying corps, the aerial coast patrol service and the aviation section of the naval militia. More than 5,000 men in all have applied for the aerial service. The aviation section of the naval militia will have a camp at Bay Shore, L. and the First and Second battalions will be built. Plans are being made for a training school for college men. Aero coast patrol 3, composed of Yale men, is training at the Curtis school in Butfield. CONVICTS TO HELP FARMERS Paroled From a Penitentiary For That Purpose. Joliet, Ill.-The 110 convicts in the state prison here were notified they had received paroles. Most noteworthy among them is James E. Daly, who was sentenced for the murder of his wife in 1905. Recently Daley was given a commutation of life sentence to twenty-five years by Governor Dunne. Most of the convicts will be employed by the farmers in Cook county. Demand for farmers resulted in the parole board granting many prizes that otherwise would not have been obtained, as the men were without friends to obtain signers to release prisoners. J. Q.

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 whatsoever. Yours for Americanism, J. Q. ADAMS, Editor THE APPEAL.

It goes without saying that the N. A. C. P. will oppose any and all legislation which further restricts or abridges the civil rights of colored people in any respect.

"CONSISTENCY, THOU ART A JEWEL." The Chicago Tribune, noted for its inconsistency and illogical reasoning, has an article on Home Rule for Ireland and a free Poland. It also says: "We can find plenty of reasons for insisting that the war shall free the Armenians from the Turks, shall give Greece a republic, Russia a democracy, Belgium an assurance of integrity, France a promise of security, and that it shall enable the statute of Liberty in New York harbor to shine undimmed. "We do not ask that our allies free the Moroccan, the Hindus, or the Koreans, but it seems within reason to ask that they give Home Rule to the Irish and thus help the United States in one of its own local problems." Why does not the Tribune go the full length in democracy and ask freedom for the Moroccan, the Hindus and the Koreans? Is it because their complexions are a trifle darker than the other nationalities mentioned? "But in a war which elects democracy as the principle there ought to be a different condition in some of the lands which are allied to the principle. The United States, which in a real sense is about to fight for the security of the United States, and in equally real sense is about to fight for the principle of democracy, would fight better if the allies to which it is joined were better established in consistency." Speaking of consistency, the Tribune could do a great work along that line by advocating justice for the colored American citizens who are insulted, and oppressed by the state governments of the South and whose lives are never safe from the murderous Southern mob. But instead it has not been a very long time since this same Tribune advocated the stripping from the colored citizen the few rights he now enjoys. "Consistency, thou art a jewel." DEATH OF SENATOR FORAKER. Joseph Benson Foraker, former United States senator from Ohio, lawyer, orator and soldier, is dead at his home in Cincinnati, aged 70 years. Mr. Foraker was a civil war veteran, having enlisted as a private and served to the end of the war when he was mustered out as a captain. He was a believer in justice for all men and a staunch friend of the colored people. When the then President Roosevelt turned out the entire Ninth Battalion for the alleged crimes of a few, Senator Foraker entered heartily into the defense of the brave soldiers who had been discharged 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. be this demands true faith and ready hands; does not kill; e cannot buy; and a will; who will not lie; d demagogue atteries without winking! live above the fog e thinking. —J. G. Holland. without reason. For this he was fought by the Roose, velt administration and other sinister influences and it is safe to say that his defeat for re-election as senator from Ohio in 1908 was largely due to the fact that he had espoused the cause of the weak and oppressed. Viewed from any angle Senator Foraker was a great man and his memory will live long in the hearts of those who knew him. 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 covardice 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 as so 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 Russia Moton secured recognition of rights. The most striking thing about the race-leader 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-egitation issue. Dr. Washington's own friends do not relish or desire it." who in the conscii of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be arts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of the ances of relatives or 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 wiltfully misrepresented him and refused to make a correction when asked to do so. Mr. Jackson's letter follows: Your letter received. I was misrepresented by the Chicago Tribune which put into my mouth the words of one Eugene F. Manna. The Tribune refused to make a correction when asked to do so. 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. Attorney represents 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?" FAILURE TO FIGHT COSTLY. That strong,defender of true Americanism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a man of whom all the 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 distranchising constitutions have come, separate or "jim-crow" railroad and street cars, "peanut" galleries in theaters for our men and women, separate bars in saloons, "im-jim-crow" city parks, swimming pools, schools, "im-jim-crowism" in dental offices, churches, Y. M. C. A. s., etc. Indeed, there is apparently a debrief 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 burlesqued, 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 FREED 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!" WOULDN'T THIS JAR YOU?" An Oklahoman has been devoting his spare time to a study of prices in the long ago, and has rediscovered the fact that during the reign of Henry IV of England, a goose cost 7 cents, not a pound, but the whole bird; eggs were 10 cents a hundred! sixteen pounds of butter could be had for 25 cents; whew was 5 cents a quart, and a whole carcass of beef could be obtained for $7.50. How the imagination is stirred by those figures until one reads that skilled carpenters were paid 12 cents a day and less skilled workers in proportion. The Oklahoman is much puzzled by it all, but at least he sees clearly when stating that the only hope is in increased production. We are having quite a seance with the H. C. L., but thank goodness wages are now a trifle higher than they were in the reign of Henry IV. LET AGITATION GO ON, SAYS REV. F. J. GRIMKE. Commends Protest by Guardian and Planet—Race Will Protest Till White America Accords the Rights Which Boast American Citizen—Steady Decline the Rights Under B. T. Washington Policy. (From the Boston Guardian.) Washington, D. C, May 1, 1917. Dear Mr. Trotter: I have just read in the last issue of the Guardian your editorial, including the editor of Mr. Mitchell of the Planet, in which he says the Just must and timely rebuke to Dr.-Frissell for some things which he says in the last issue of the Southern Workman. Rights Declined Under Washington. It is amazing that at this late day, an story of the STEADY DECLINE OF OUR RIGHTS in WASHINGTON'S POLICY of "detect tentious service," that Dr. Frissell should be attempting to revive that pernicious, un-American, unmany, heresay of quiet submission, to wrong. What God directed his prophet to do with the spare, spare not, lift up thy voice like a bird, accord to onto my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sina. And that is what we have been doing, and will continue to do, until White America heeds the message, turns the record, accords to the colored man the rights, which justly belongs to him as much as to any other American citizen. Let Frissell Understand Once and for All Time. Dr. Frissell had just as well understand now, once for all, that the policy for which he stands, as regards our rights, will never be accepted by the colored man. And the inculcation of such a policy comes with very little trouble for men who, never think of following it when their own rights are involved. Think Colored Unlike Whites. It is because, after all, they think that the Negro is made of a little different clay, and therefore that it is more likely SUBMIT TO WHAT WHITE WOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO SUBMIT TO AND, WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO WITHOUT THE MOST VIGOROUS PROTEST? Put Themselves In Our Place. It some of our white friends would put themselves in the place of the colored man, and realize that there is no essential difference between the colored man and themselves, they would be saved from some of the foolish things which they recommend at times. Let the Agitation Go On. Let the Planet, let the Guardian, let the colored newspapers, continue to spice up the legitimate way, LET THE AGITATION GO ON. It is in vain for Dr. Frissell, or any one else to stop it. Yours for equality of rights for all all citizens, regardless of race or condition. He Is A Real Man Editor W. P. Dahney, of the Cincinnati Union, is busy day and night in the administration and all other forms of discrimination at Queen City.

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 if she is a solution of honesty, 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. 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 required, but who have failed to pay for it, and about it. Don't stop at talking about it, either, but kindly come and send to the office and pay what you honestly, honorably, legally owe. There is not one single subscriber on our list who is ACTUALLY UNABLE to pay for the paper if the desire to do so is strong enough. There is no desire or intention to offend any one, but if this article is made 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 subscription expires or are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. If subscribers order a discontinuation 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. He may 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 authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearances is made. 36th Annual and 12th Triennial Session of Supreme Council, Northern Jurisdiction, to be Held in Philadelphia, May 14.
