They Will Be Part of Regular Force, and at Head of Each Regiment as Colonel Will Be Engineer Officer of Army-Construction Will Be Main Work. New York.-Need for expert railroad men to repair the lines in France is so pressing that an urgent call has been sent out by the railroads war board to the various roads of the country for assistance in organizing nine regiments of railroad men to go at once to France. They will be a part of the regular army, and at the head of each regiment as colonel will be an engineer officer of the army. The plans of the board call for five construction regiments, one shop or repair regiment and three operating regiments. Construction will be the main work of the men sent over, but the repair and operating needs are hardly immediate. A notice sent out by the railroads war board says: "The French railways are badly run down. They need more or less complete rehabilitation. France has no men who can be spared for this work. She wants her men at the front. Before we can train men to go into the branches we can supply France's railroad wants, and we can do it practically immediately. Any men we send over must be soldiers, so it will be necessary for the railroad forces to enter the army. "We propose to make up five construction regiments of six companies each to do this rehabilitation. Each regiment will have an engineer officer of the United States army as colonel and another officer from the army as an adjutant. The other officers will be made up of railroad men, except that the commissary will be provided by the United States army. Each lieutenant colonel of the United States army is a engineer of a railroad or some one else in experience. The captains will be taken from the engineers of maintenance of way, the lieutenants from supervisors or road masters and the noncommissioned officers from track and bridge foremen. The privates will be track laborers. "The pressing need just now is for officers for these regiments. They will require five chief engineers, thirty entrenchment of way, ninety supervisors of way, sixty track foremen and thirty railroadmen. Each company will have 150 track laborers and fourteen bridge carpenters as private. "The next important requirement of the French railways is for shop forces. They are short of men to repair their locomotives. It is proposed to organize a shop regiment, to be made up the same way as the construction regiments, except that the lieutenant colonel will be a superintendent of motive power, the captains will be master mechanics, the lieutenants will be shop engineers, the noncommissioned officers gangging around the roof of the company will be made up of boilermakers, machinists, blacksmiths and their helpers." TOY GUNS POPULAR Modeled After Anti-aircraft Weapons Used by Zeppelins. Washington.-Teddy bears and miniature anti-aircraft guns are by far the most popular toys in Great Britain, says Consul Wilson in a report from the United Nations. The foreign and domestic commerce. Teddy bears have always been more or less popular, but recent events seem to have created a greatly increased demand for this toy. The toy guns are modeled after the anti-aircraft guns which were brought into commerce by the visits of the Zeppelins. Toys that find the most ready sale are those of a military character. NEW FORM OF "CON" GAME Two Inches of Butter Spread on Sand Sold to Chicago Consumers. Chicago, Ill.—A new form of confidence game has been practised with success here during the last few days. Several storekeepers and hospitals have reported to the police that they have purchased from agents tubs purporting to contain sixty pounds of butter, but have found when cutting into the tubs that the butter extended but one two inches from the surface and that the rest of their purchase was sand. The tubs were sold for as high as $19.50, making the price of the butter in the neighborhood of $4 a pound. FAVORS DAYLIGHT SAVING. President, However, In Doubt as to Necessary Legislation. Washington. — President Wilson expresed his approval of the daylight saving plan to a delegation headed by Representative Borland of Missouri and Marcus Marks of New York, president of the National Daylight Saving association. The president told them the only question he had in his mind about legislation to carry it into operation was whether congress leaders would look at it war legislation, to which they have tacitly agreed to limit the session's activities. The subject will be taken up with the leaders. THIEVES IN CONVENTION DEMAND REFORM AID They Seek a Chance to Turn Over a New Leaf in Russia. Petrograd. - A mass meeting of thieves was recently held at Rostoff-on-the-Don to demand a share in the new freedom and a chance to turn over a new leaf. The chief of the local militia and the president and several members of the Council of Workmen and Soldiers' Deputies were present on invitation. Practically all branches of the profession of thievery were represented, and several of the most accomplished members made speeches in which they outlined the 'difficulties' confronting them and declared that it was impossible to return to honest pursuits without the help and support of the community. The speakers complained that recently the population had risen against them and in some instances far as to lych some of their brothers. Chief of Militta Raimikoff asked for help and support by the people in aiding the efforts of the thieves at reformation. One of the bystanders complained that he had been relieved of his purse containing 6 rubles. The thieves roundly protested that it was not the work of a professional and took up a collection to reimburse the victim. WOMAN PLAYED HEROIC PART IN THE CIVIL WAR Gave Husband and, Sons and While They Were Away Diligently Cultivated Plantation. Charleston, S. C.-During the first days of that most lamentable conflict that we now know as the civil war a little woman in this state gave her husband and their four grown sons to fight for the cause that to her seemed just. She was not belligerent; she was brave. A few years later a neighbor brought her word that* all but the youngest boy had been killed, says Hapsburg Liebe of the Vigilantes. "You shouldn't have sent them all," said this neighbor. "You should have kept two of those boys at home." "I If had a dozen to send I would have sent them," the little woman replied very readily, very calmly. "And I know that my men went down in their boots, distinguished service. You see, I know my men." He knew the youngest boy returned. He was a captain, and not a captain merely by courtesy. As he rode through the old plantation he saw to his intense surprise that it was in a fair state of cultivation and that stuffed husbands took the place of cotton. He had expected to find those broad acres filled with weeds and brirs. As soon as he had proudly greeted his mother and been in turn proudly greeted by her, he spoke of this. "That was my part," she told him. "You couldn't fight without having something to eat, could you? It was then that he noted the marks of toll on her hands, and he knew that the faithful old negroes had not done all the hard work. He brought his heels to the door, and lifted his hand to the rim of his hat. "Mother" he said, not very steadily, "I salute you, the greatest soldier of us all." SPRING DIET RIVALS ZEPPS. Substitute For Spinach Kill One, Injures Several. London. England is badly in need of green spring foods, and all kinds of suggestions have been made, some of which are disastrous results. One enterprising journalist wrote in newspapers the other day that rubbish leaves, thoroughly bolted, made an excellent substitute for spinach. A coroner's inquest was held over the body of a man who sampled the substitute. Another victim was a preacher, whose family is seriously ill. Similar reports were reported from all parts of the country. READJUSTS NOAH'S ARK. Little English Girl Moved by One Legged British Officer. London.—A small English girl was introduced at tea to an officer who had lost a leg in action. After observing him carefully and thoughtfully she went to her nursery and, returning with her Noah's ark, dumped the managerie on the floor and proceeded to break one leg off each animal. When she was asked why she did it the little girl replied: "Legs are awfully useless things. The animals all have one too many." BIG RUSH TO AVOID RAISE IN HAIR CUTS Greensburg, Pa.—A recent Monday held the record for hair cuts in Greensburg. On wash day 3,000 men went to the barbers and told them to cut their hair according to certain styles. This rush came through the fact that the barbers raised the price for a hair cut to 35 cents and Monday was the last day for the quarter rate. It is estimated that $750 was paid for hair clipping, with a total of $300 saved to the ultimate cutes. Defective Page THE APPEAL. TERMS USED IN FEEDING Scientific Nomenclature Reduced to Every-Day Meanings. [National Grop Importance Service.] Stockfish consists briefly of three chief parts or compounds, omitting the water and minerals. They are: Protein (containing nitrogen), a muscle former. Fat (not containing nitrogen), a fuel or fattening substance. Carbohydrates (meaning made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). These three substances are called organic matter, because they will burn. Mineral matter is called inorganic. An animal can live on protein alone, but would not under normal conditions, because protein (or albumen) is only found mixed with fat in the case of meat and with fat and carbohydrates in the case of plants and cereals. Familiar examples of protein are white of egg, lean meat and the gluten which can be chewed out of wheat. Fat or oil we all know. Carbohydrates include sugar, starch, cellulose, fibre, gums, etc. To keep alive and not lose weight an animal must have small amounts of protein and larger amounts of fat or carbohydrates. They serve as building material to replace worn-out tissue and flesh and also to furnish power (energy) to move, work, and do all the inside work of the body. The ash or mineral matter furnishes bone material and is also necessary but abundant in nature. A growing animal needs plenty of protein and ash (bone food) and of carbohydrates and fat. A grown-up animal needs less of either the first two, but plenty of the last two. A pregnant animal needs plenty of food for its unborn young. BUYING FEED INGREDIENTS Difficult to Buy Proper Feed Staffs at Random. The National crop improvement Service.1 There are often frozen feed stores in the country that carry stock all the ingredients of a first-class mixed feed at all times and at reasonable prices, and usually they do not carry feeds of the same high quality used by the mixers who work scientifically through a laboratory. This is human nature. Competition compels a dealer to sell the cheapest quality. The best quality of feed is seldom carried, because the average buyer will not pay the highest price. A good many experiment stations in a general way will advocate that a farmer mix all his own feed, but they are human like the rest of us and they will use recognized brands in their own feeding operations rather than go to the trouble and take the time to follow their own advice. There are a good many herds at experiment stations which are kept as a set of a clinic for professors to practice in good upkeep. The poor brutes are used in a good deal in girape pigs in hospital practice. On the other hand, at the experiment stations are to be found many of the finest animals ever bred. The mixed feeds of the first grade can be fed alone in connection with home-grown corn, oats or barley. Do this widens your ration, and it is correct to do so if it will reduce your cost of feeding. Mixed feeds, therefore, are largely a matter of arithmetic. You can usually get the result for less money than by feeding more expensive grains separately. THE MANURIAL INGREDIENTS OF FEEDS National Group Improvement Services.] Nitrate is the most important and most valuable fertilizing element supplied by feeds. It is in this element that it show the greatest variation. The Connecticut Experiment Station states that it was found that the average mixed fertilizer contained 2.95 per cent nitrogen and showed in a table that eighty of fifty-two different feeds contained 3.93 per cent. Among this list is cottonseed and linseed meals, gluten seed, middlings, brewer's distillers' products, and a few of the mixtures. It is obvious, therefore, that the selection of feeds enhances the value of the manure and consequently plays an important part in farm economy. BARLEY PRODUCTS. Prof. J. P. Street, in the Annual Report of the Connecticut Agricultural Station for 1912, says: "That malt sprouts should receive more consideration from dairymen, especially in comparison with many of the proprietary mixed feeds containing only from one-third to half as much protein as malt sprouts, prices being considered." He also states that dried brewers' grains, prices considered, in connection with the feed's high analysis, is one of the cheapest high-grade feeds on the market. **WHAT'S IN A MIXED FEED?** [National Crop Improvement Board] A high-grade mixed feed suitable for any kind or breed of dairy cow should have high protein content, with an exact digestible analysis. It can be mixed with corn, oats, barley, hay or other forage, which should be grown upon the farm, provided the mixture would save the farmer any money. As a rule, the ingredients of the highest grades are corn, distiller's grains, gluten feed, cottonseed meal, hominy meal, malt sprouts, brewers' grains, linseed meal, pure wheat bran and salt. The best grades contain no cheap fillers of any kind and so the food is highly concentrated and roughage can be supplied at home. Minnesota Historical Society HOW SHALL WE PAY FOR THE WAR? A Constructive Criticism on the House Revenue Bill. LOANS BETTER THAN TAXES Five Reasons Why Excessive Taxes at the Outset of War Are Disadvantage-Great Britain Example Worthy of Emulation -How the Taxes Should Be Apportioned. By EDWIN R. A. SELIGMAN, McVickar Professor of Political Economy, Columbia University. On May 23, 1917, the House of Representatives passed an act "to provide revenue to defray war expenses and for other purposes." In the original bill as presented by the Committee of Ways and Means, the additional revenue to be derived was estimated at $1,101,420,000. The amendment to the income tax, which was tacked on to the bill during the discussion in the House, was expected to yield another $40,000,000 or $50,000,000. In discussing the House bill, two problems arise: 1. How much should be raised by taxation? 2. In what manner should this sum be raised? 1. How Much Should Be Raised by Taxation? How was the figure of $1,800,000,000 arrived at? The answer is simple. When the Secretary of the Treasury once estimate the additional expenses for the year 1917-18, he calculated that they would amount to some $6,000,000,000, of which $3,000,000,000 was to be allotted to the allies, and $3,600,000,000 was to be utilized for the domestic purposes. Thinking that it would be a fair proposition to divide this latter sum between loans and taxes, he concluded that the amount to be raised by taxes was $1,800,000,000. There are two extreme theories, each of which may be dismissed with scant theory. The one is that all war expenditure should be defrayed by loans, and the other is that war expenditure should be defrayed by taxes. Each theory is untenable. It is indeed true that the burdens of the war should be borne by the present rather than the future generation; but this does not mean that they should be borne by this year's taxation. Meeting all war expenses by taxation makes the taxpayers in one or two years bear the burden of benefits that ought to be distributed at least over a decade within the same generation. In the second place, when expenditure approach the gigantic sums of present warfare, the tax-only policy would be more than the total surplus of social income. Were this absolutely necessary, the ensuing havoc in the economic life of the community would have to be endured. But where the disasters are so great and at the same time so unnecessary, the tax-only policy may be declared impracticable. Secretary McAdoo had the right instinct and highly commendable courage in deciding that a substantial portion, at least, of the revenues should be derived from taxation. But when he hit upon the plan of 50-50 per cent, that is, of raising one-half of all domestic war expenditures by taxes, the question arises whether he did not go to mistake. The relative proportion of loans to taxes is after all a purely business proposition. Not to rely on a large extent on loans at the outset of a war is mistake. Disadvantages of Excessive Taxes. The disadvantages of excessive taxes at the outset of the war are as follows: 1. Excessive taxes on consumption will cause popular resentment. 2. Excessive taxes on industry will disarrange business, damp enthusiasm and restrict the spirit of enterprise at the very time when the opposite is needed. 3. Excessive taxes on incomes will deplete the surplus available for investments and interfere with the placing of the enormous loans which will be necessary in any event. 4. Excessive taxes on wealth will cause a serious diminution of the incomes at present largely drawn upon for the support of educational and philanthropic enterprises. Moreover, these sources of support would be dried up precisely at the time when the need would be greatest. 5. Excessive taxation at the outset of the war will reduce the elasticity available for the increasing demands that are soon to come. Great Britain's Policy. Take Great Britain as an example. During the first year of the war she increases its only slightly upward to keep industries going at the rate. During the second year she raised by new taxes only 9 per cent. of her war expenditures. During the third year she levied by additional taxes (over and above the pre-war level) only slightly more than 17 per cent. of her war expenses. If we should attempt to do as much in the first year of the war as Great Britain did in the third year it would suffice to be taxed by taxation $1,250,000,000. If, in order to be absolutely on the increase of the tax, it would be advisable to increase the sum to $1,500,000,000; this should, in our opinion, be the maximum. In considering the apportionment in the extraordinary burden of taxes in war times certain scientific principles are definitely established: How Taxes Should Be Apportioned. (1) The burden of taxes must be spread as far as possible over the whole community so as to cause each individual to share in the sacrifices according to his ability to pay and according to his share in the Government. (2) Taxes on consumption, which are not increased by the community at large, should be as far as possible on articles of quisquihary rather than on those of necessity. (3) Excises should be imposed as far as possible upon commodities in hands of the final consumer rather than upon the articles which serve primarily as raw material for further production. (4) Taxes upon business should be imposed as far as possible upon net earnings rather than upon gross receipts invested. (5) Taxes upon property which will necessarily be severs should be both differentiated and graduated. That is, there should be a distinction between earned and unearned incomes and there should be a higher rate upon the larger incomes. It is essential, however, not to make the income rate so excessive as to lead to evasion, administrative difficulties, or to the more fundamental objections which have been urged above. The excess profits which are due to the war constitute the most obvious and reasonable source of revenge in war times. But the principle upon which these war-profit taxes are laid must be equitable in theory and easily calculable in practice. The additional income tax as passed by the House runs up to a rate of 60 per cent. This is a sum unheard of in the history of civilized society. It must be remembered that it was only after the first year of the war that Great Britain increased her income tax to the maximum of 34 per cent., and that even now in the fourth year of the war the income tax does not exceed $42\frac{1}{2} per cent. It could easily be shown that a tax with rates on moderate incomes substantially less than in Great Britain, and on the larger incomes about as high, would yield only slightly less than the $52,000,000 originally estimated in the war. It is to be hoped that the Senate will reduce the total rate on the highest incomes to 34 per cent, or at most 40 per cent, and that at the same time it will reduce the rate on the smaller incomes derived from personal or professional earnings. If the war continues we shall have to depend more and more upon the income tax. By imposing excessive rates now we are not only endangering the suit but are inviting all manner of difficulties over the even Great Britain has been able to escape. Conclusion. (3) The income-tax schedule ought to be revised with a lowering of the rates on earned incomes below $10,000, and with an analogous lowering of the rates on the higher incomes, so as not to exceed 34 per cent. A careful calculation shows that an income tax of this kind would yield some $450,000,000. (4) The tax on whisky and tobacco ought to remain approximately as it is, with a yield of about $230,000,000. These three taxes, together with the stamp tax at the low rate of the House bill, and with an improved automobile tax, will yield over $1,250,000,000, which is the amount of money thought desirable. The above program would be in harmony with an approved scientific system for the complaints that are being urged against the present. It will refrain from taxing the consumption of the poor. It will throw a far heavier burden upon the rich, but will not go to the extremes of confiscation. It will obviate interference with business and will keep unimpaired the social productivity of the community. It will establish a just balance between looms and tarps, and will not succumb to the danger of approaching either the tax-only policy or the loan-only policy. Above all, it will keep an undisturbed elastic margin, which must be more and more heavily drawn upon as the war proceeds. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] The feeding value of straw being comparatively low, and the fertilizing value being high, all straw should be spread upon the fields and not burned or wasted. The use of straw to prevent winter-killing of wheat is now well established. THE DAIRY RATION Feeding Tables Hard to Follow on Account of Variation of Ingredients. [National Crop Improvement Service.] For many years feeders have endeavored to use so-called standard tables showing the theoretical number of pounds each of so-called digestible protein, fats and carbohydrates. These methods are fatally defective for the following reasons: First, the tables call for so much digestible food. If there was such a thing as digestible food it might furnish a basis to go by, but digestible food is really apparently digestible food, in that it disappears in the body. Just what use is made of it is not always clear. Some of it turns into gas, some is converted into heat, and much of it is used in the labor of digesting food. In the case of straw and simulated food. In the case of straw and simulated food, nearly all of its energy is used in the labor of digesting it, leaving little or no net gain. Straw should be returned to the soil. Take two samples of dried barley grains, each containing the same amount of digestible food, and one will give twenty more therms or heat units than the other. One hundred pounds of digestible food derived from roughage is about equal to eighty pounds derived from grain, so if we add together things which are unlike, we get no tangible results. It is like adding so many pounds to so many gallons. So, the digestible basis of figuring rations is very inaccurate. The correct way is, first, to ascertain how much protein and energy a cow needs to sustain life and keep weight. You can get this from your experiment station, or you can ascertain how much it can necessary to make one pound of milk for a certain fat test, and then feed her as much protein and energy as is needed to maintain her and supply food for as many pounds of milk as she can make. This is a very difficult problem and few can do it, and we challenge any two men to tackle the same problem under the same conditions and arrive at the same result. We cannot tell unless we try to find out, that a cow will not give more milk on more feed, or maybe as much milk on less feed. So feeding is largely experimental, as no two cows are alike. However, the law of averages will hold, and the feeder can save all this trouble and much loss by feeding a ration which his experiment station has in most cases made, say three to four pounds of milk for each pound of mixed feed. There is one thing certain. The more solids and fat in the milk, the more feed needed per pound of milk. So, a good mixed feed which is properly combined and all the roughage she will eat will greatly simplify your feeding problem and a very little experimenting will soon show you how much concentrates each cow needs to produce a maximum yield $2.40 PER YEAR AID OF GOVERNORS National Defense Council Issues Warning Against Hysteria. STATE CENSUS IS OPPOSED. Areas Likely to Be Theaters of War Operations Designated and Recommendations Presented For Road Building-In Certain Contingencies May Fix Food Prices. Washington—Governors who sought advice from the Council of National Defense concerning their war activities at the national defense conference received their instructions in a detailed statement which covered a hundred phases of the work necessary to get the country in shape for a successful war against Germany. The advice was in the form of answers to stated questions on industrial and military subjects. There ran through the document an apparent warning against hysteria in action which might hamper rather than accomplish the desired results. Here are some of the important points made: First—The national council recommends that the state councils shall entrench their authority and discourage extravagant librarians and the purchase of luxuries among the people of their respective states. Second—In regard to the postponement of state or municipal works now under way and not of pressing importance the council, "generally speaking," advises that nothing now under way should be abandoned except under pressing necessity; nor should new projects be started not of pressing importance. Third—The council has not made any argument for the postponement in any state of work on co-operative highway projects to such an extent that redistribution of public money will be necessary. Fourth.-The taking of a census by states of men for either military or industrial service, supplementary to federal registration—a step which has been contemplated in some other states—was discouraged. On this point the document says: "The council does not desire such a census for the present. It is not needed just now and then. It is not needed just now. For use would soon be obsolete to rapidly changing industrial conditions." Fifth.-The council may in certain contingencies fix either or both minimum and maximum food prices authorized by law, but holds that until legislation is passed it is impossible to make a definite statement. In reply to advice in regard to the road building which would make the location and character of the highway better suited for military purposes, the council furnishes a copy of a letter from Secretary Baker to Secretary Houston giving in detail the areas likely to be the theater of war operations and presenting recommendations as to road building for military purposes. (a) The area about Long Island, including most of the states of Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. (d) The Mexican border, including the southern part of the states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. (e) The great lakes area, including the states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. COULDN'T SCARE SAILOR. Officer Told Threatening U Boat Captain to "Shoot Away." London.-Douglas Duff, the fourth officer and the only survivor of the steamer Thracia, sunk by a German submarine on April 27, says in depositions that three hours after the ship was sunk the German submarine approached the capsized boat, the stem of which had been blown off, to which he was clinging, and asked him the usual questions regarding the destroyed steamer and her destination. It was 11 o'clock at night and very dark. The ship thundered. A军官 threatened to shoot Duff, says the fourth officer, who quotes himself as replying, "Shoot away." The commander then said, according to Duff, that he wouldn't waste powder on an Englishman and left Duff to his fate. He was picked up twelve hours later by a French fisherman. ARMY NEEDS GENERALS. Promotions Expected to Be Made Only Upon Merit Basis. Washington.—The new national army will require about twenty-nine new major generals and more than 100 brigadier generals, according to officials of the war department. There will be a total of thirty-six divisions, each of which will have one major general and four brigadier generals. The army act empowers the president to give him this discretion. The beliege prevails that the president and secretary of war both are determined only upon merit and special fitness. This policy would coclude exactly with those of France and England, which are advancing younger men to the higher commands. A LITANY OF ATLANTA BY DR. W. E.

A LITANY OF ATLANTA. In September, 1906, there was a brutal massacre of colored people at Atlanta, Georgia. Scores of colored men, women and children were murdered because of their color. Dr. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois wrote the story of the massacre in the form of a litany which appeared in the New York Independent shortly after its occurrence. It was "done in the day of death." The recent massacre at East St. Louis so resembles the Atlanta murderest that we print in this issue Du Bois "A Litany of Atlanta," by express permission of the New York Independent. CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION. In the opinion of THE APPEAL, the strongest article denouncing the East Saint Louis massacre was an editorial published in the Christian Register of Boston, Mass. The Register is the leading Unitarian paper published in the United States and perhaps that accounts for the article. The Unitarian church is one of the few Christian denominations in America in which there is no color line. The orthodox Christian sects in America are so filled with prejudice that the ruthless massacre of helpless men, women and children fails to bring out a protest. The article from the Christian Register, which follows, is not so long as some of the articles which have appeared in the daily papers, but it is evidently the most sincere which THE APPEAL has seen: The hideous outrage against law and humanity in East St. Louis, Ill., makes us turn again from the barbarities of war to the ferocities of peace, from crimes against civilization abroad to crimes against civilization at home. The testimony of eye witnesses shows that nothing is to be learned among white people of this city from the cruelties and brutalities of foreign conquest. No tribes of any name or time have ever outdone the white men and women who burned colored men, women and children the other day in this American city.

The organization of the manhood of the nation for the protection of human life and liberty on the seas and for the deliverance of democracy in the world will be needed at home after its task abroad is done. While our fellow-creatures in the United States are hunted and tortured as if they were wild beasts, government can scarcely be called democratic. So long as colored people are proscribed, discriminated against, segregated and despised, ill-will and antipathy will furnish fertilizers of hatred and murder. WARNS AGAINST RACIAL HATRED It is so unusual for a Christian minister to preach against racial hatred that THE APPEAL is pleased to note that one minister has the courage of his convictions. In his sermon last Sunday, Rev. H. E. Peabody, pastor of the South Congregational Church, in Chicago, said that racial hatred within the United States is more dangerous than all Germans outside this country. Dr. Peabody likened the East St. Louis massacre to the "atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia." "The country's perils are not all on the sea and beyond," said Dr. Peabody. "Think of the moral earthquake and volcano that has burst in the midst of the land, in our own state, since last we met. "Who would have believed that a massacre that reminds one of St. Bartholomew's night and of the atrocities of the unspeakable Turk in Armenia, could occur among our own fellow-citizens in East St. Louis? "But, beware! The peril is nearer than that. The mutterings of the volcano are felt in Chicago. The single explosion is not the most significant thing. The race prejudice, contempt and hatred, working—working beneath—these are the hell below—and they find some lodgment in all our hearts; God help us. "There is far more danger to the republic from race hatred within our borders than from all the Germans put together. "Christian citizens of Chicago, think this thing through.

It was fifty years ago—March 6, 1857,—that the Supreme Court of the United States rendered its decision in the famous Dred Scott case. The results which followed this decision were stupendous and far-reaching. Dred Scott was a slave belonging to a surgeon in the United States army. He was taken by his master to Fort Snelling, in the State of Illinois, territory from which, by the ordinance of 1787, slavery had been forever excluded. Afterward he was carried into Missouri, where he was hired as a slave, Claiming freedom on the ground that his residence in Illinois had wiped out his status as a slave, his case was taken before the Supreme Court for settlement. After a three years' consideration of the case the decision of the court was pronounced in an exhaustive opinion delivered by Chief Justice Taney, seven of the nine judges concurring. In substance, the decision was as follows: (1) That persons of the African race were not, and could not be, acknowledged as "part of the people," or citizens, under the Constitution of the United States. (2) That Congress had no right to exclude citizens of the South from taking their Negro servants, as any other property, into any part of the community, and that they were entitled to claim its protection therein. (3) That the Missouri Compromise of 1820, in so far as it prohibited African slavery north of a designated line, was unconstitutional and void. The decision raised a storm from one end of the country to the other and made the civil war a foregone conclusion. The Year Book of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America for 1917 states that 747,000 people "joined the church" during the year 1916. Judging by the evidences of Christianity as exemplified by the so-called Christians in the country, "joining the church" is largely a matter of hypocrisy. The people of the United States are further from true Christianity than ever before in the history of the nation. Charles Edward Powell Charles Edward Russell, a member of the American Commission to Russia, appeals to the American people to help Russia build a republic. Perhaps in the years to come when the Russian republic has been built, some great Russian will aid the establishment in America a republic which knows neither race, creed nor color. Mr. William H. Steward, editor of the American Baptist, Louisville, Ky., celebrated the seventieth anniversary of his birthday last Thursday. Brother Steward has been in the harness for many years as an editor and also as a church worker and is a living refutation of the adage that "the good die young." The National Evangelistic Alliance of America has appealed to President Wilson that flags on public buildings be at half-mast on Sunday, July 29th, in memory of persons who lost their lives in the East St. Louis riots. Defective Page THE ILLINOIS HORROR Ashamed to Register From East St. Louis. (Chicago Daily American.) W. R. Neal is manager of a hotel in East St. Louis, Ill. Today when he registered at the Congress Hotel he gave his address as St. Louis, Mo. "I'm ashamed to say I came from East St. Louis," he told the clerk. Brought Disgrace on Lincoln's State. (From the Chicago Daily News.) Mob frenzy displayed in some of its most dreadful forms in East St. Louis yesterday has brought disgrace and just reproach upon the state of Abraham Lincoln. The East St. Louis affair is the most disastrous and disgraceful outbreak the state has known for a generation; perhaps the worst it has ever known. That it should come during the heat of a foreign war and on the eve of Independence Day makes it still more ominous. East St. Louis, Ill., the law itself, are all on trial until it is grim, terrible business is settled and settled rightly. Failure of justice means a violent precedent that will plague the commonwealth for years to come. When the issue of law or anarchy is presented as plainly as in the orgy at East St. Louis there should be but one answer. The riot at East St. Louis is one of the worst blots on the good name of an American community in our whole history. Illinois must bow her head in shame before this disgrace. We have no excuse. There can be no excuse for such a break down of the most primitive safeguards of civil government, for such betrayal of the first duty of ordered society. Will Sue for Damages The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with former Judge Edward Osgood Brown of the appellate court president of the local chapter, is planning to institute suits under the Illinois statutes against the city of East St. Louis and St. Clair county for personal damages on behalf of the dependents of the Negro men and women who died at the hands of the incensed mobs in the orgy of murder and arson several days ago. Under the statutes, the dependents have actions against the city and the county for damages to property, life and limb, the judgments not exceed $5,000 in each case. This means men suits for nearly $1,000,000 when the final loss of the scores killed, the hundreds injured and the many homes destroyed is recorded. The Illinois Massacre (From the Chicago-Evening Post.) "In oah town we don't let a nigrah get off the train long enough to brush youah coat, not even if he's a pot'ah on a Pullman." They'll tell you this in just these accents in some of the southern towns of Illinois. And it was from these towns that the miltiamen came to "maintain order in East St. Louis." This is the whole story of the failure of the miltia in the worst race riot that has disgraced Illinois since Lovejoy as martyred. Troops from Northern Illinois should have been sent to East St. Louis; troops from Southern Illinois should not have been sent there. For the twilight zone of the Mason and Dixon line cuts across the central and southern portions of the state. A. IT no longer blind, Lord God, deaf to our prayer and dumb to our dumb suffering. Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing? Ah! Christ of all the Pitites! Forgive the thought! Forgive these wild, blasphemous words. Thou art still the God of our black fathers, and in Thy soul's soul sit some soft darkenings of the evening, some shadowings of the velvet night. But whisper—speak—call, great God, for Thy silence is white terror to our hearts! The way, O God, show us the way and point us the path. Whither? North is greed and South is blood; within, the coward, and without, the liar. Whither? To death? Amen! Welcome dark sleep! Whither? To life? But not this life, dear God, not this. Let the cup pass from us, tempt us not beyond our strength, for there is that clamoring and clawing within, to whose voice we would not listen, yet shudder lest we must, and it is red, Ah! God! It is a red and awful shape. In yonder East trembles a star. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord! Lord, we have done these pleading, wavering words. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! We bow our heads and hearken soft to the sobbing of women and little children. When the first troubles in East St. Louis became public late in May, the N. A. A. C. P. recognized that this was something of the utmost importance. East St. Louis is one of the great centers whither the migration of at least a quarter million of colored people has set. It was therefore of the greatest importance to understand any troughs that might arise among them off if possible. We recognized the strong interest that various people South and North had in stopping colored migration and discouraging the emancipation of the colored serf. Before, however, our representative could get to East St. Louis, the terrible riot of July 2 had taken place. A hundred or more colored people were killed, scores of homes and property destroyed, and six thousand refugees crossed the bridge into St. Louis. The St. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. immediately began relief work. Our members, prominent in professions and in business, for nearly ten days gave almost their entire time to the victims. A mass meeting was called for special finance committee appointed. Conferences came from as far as Kansas City and Chicago and some $400 and $500 were immediately collected. The Association worked in conjunction with the white Red Cross and with other colored individuals in the city. The Municipal Lodging House was opened and hundreds of individuals' homes. Immediate steps were taken to prepare legal cases against the city and county. The Legal Committee of the Association held open doors and hundreds of declarations of losses were received by Attorney Phillips, Dr. W. Dr. and others gave much time to the wounded from the National Office, Dr. Du Bois sent to make a thorough study of the situation, and Miss Martha Gruenin to inquire into the attitude of the employers and labor unions. Dr. Du Bois organized a force of twenty-five volunteer workers and five paid workers. Chancellor Lloyd of the Knights of Pythias kindly donated the coffins of the Pythian Hall, and Dr. Curtis donated the office on Market street. Clerks at the carefully taken down. Detailed statistics covering fifteen hundred of the refuges were also compiled. Visits were made to the various sections of East St. Louis and to the colored settlements of Brooklyn and National City. Several meetings of the executive committee of the Branch were held and one mass meeting of citizens which overflowed the beautiful Presbyterian Church on Pine street. Every effort was made to co operate with churches and other organizations with notable success. We touch with leading white citizens like Ex-Secretary Nagel and Mr. C. M. Hubbard and Miss Pullilam of the Red Cross. The Chicago Branch contributed $200 to the relief funds and also, under Judge Brown, is preparing to give legal aid to the prosecution of the county and city. It will be remembered that Illinois has two statutes which bear upon this riot, first an "Act to indemnify the owners of property for damage caused by mobs and riots," passed 1857, and second an "Act to suppress mob violence," approved 1910. The Association, through its National Office and through the Chicago and St. Louis branches, proposes to leave no stone unturned to bring to justice the guilty perpetrators of the East St. Louis outrage. The St. Louis branch is still active, the investigations of the National Office are proceeding, and the Washington branch is pushing the resolutions for investigation introduced by Congressmen Dye and Dallinger and Senator Sherman, veterans and friends of the race are urged to join thegressmen demanding passage of these resolutions which are H. J. Res. 118, H. J. Res. 124, and S. Con. Res. 10. Detailed stories of the truth about East St. Louis will appear shortly in various magazines and in the CRISIS. Persons who are convinced by our experience in East St. Louis and elsewhere that a national fighting body of this sort is absolutely indispensable are urged to join the Association and to contribute to our Anti-Lynching and Mob-Violence Fund. A check for $100 has been received from the Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Illinois and other contributions have been sent by various organizations and individual structure and information may be has by writing to James W. Johnson, Acting Secretary, Room 518, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS. N MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, University Students' Duty in Present War. The University of Minnesota, in sending to former students and those who expect to register for work this fall, notice that the University will not open until October 10th, is calling upon young men and young women to consider seriously where their highest duty lies in the present war emergency. Told students in solving this problem the notice quotes the following from the national government's bureau of education: "We believe that all young men below the age of liability to the selective draft and those not recommended for special service, who can avail themselves of the opportunities offered by our colleges, should be urged to do so. They may be able to render the most effective service both during the full period of the war and the trying times which will follow its close. "Further, we believe that in view of the supreme importance of applied science in the present war, students pursuing technical courses, 'such as medicine', agriculture and engineering, are rendering, or are to render, service continuance of their training, valuable and efficient than if they were to enroll in military or naval service at once."

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR To Be Held From September 3 to September 8 Bigger and Better Than Ever. With the possible exception of the entertainment features, which have not yet been completely arranged for, every department of the Minnesota State Fair, to be held September 3 to 8, has reported an increased demand for space and, with the government placing exhibits for the first time, there is every reason to believe that the fair will be the biggest event of the year. "All that we are worrying about this year," stated Thomas H. Canfield, Secretary-General Manager, recently, "is the weather. Give us good weather from now until the fair, and especially during the week of the fair, and we will break all records." One of the departments that will far surpass its work of previous years is the School Exhibits Department, of which George F. Howard is superintendent. Recently Mr. Howard issued an appeal to the exhibitors that the exhibits already accounted for would more than fill the space allotted to the department. Similar conditions seem to prevail in many of the other departments and the fair managers are very optimistically inclined. Mr. Ray E. Speer, Publicity Manager of the Minnesota State Fair, to be held this year September 3 to 8, is authority for the statement that the government food exhibits and demonstrations will materially add to the attractiveness of the annual fair. This food conservation movement, which will be made the chief feature of the State Fair," said Mr. Speer, who is the president of Food Administrator Hoover's department,负良, "is bigger than people of the Northwest realize. It is, in fact, the biggest problem the government has ever had to solve and when one realizes that it covers a broad field and takes in everything we eat and things we wear it is not difficult to see that it is an important work." Practical demonstrations in food conservation will be held daily at the State Fair. These will be under the direction of government experts. THE NEW YORK TIMES JOHN W.

Mrs. Gross is employed in the laboratories at a good salary and at the same time pursuing her studies. She had the distinction of assisting in the preparation of the tablets to fill the first war order of the United States last March. Bacteriology is one of the courses at the State University but it costs about $3,000 to complete the three years course. DO YOU? Do you believe in fire protection? Do you practice it in your home or place of business? Do you make periodical inspections of your premises, to make sure that attic doors in rooms and closets are in good order? Do you have a metal receptacle for rubbish and waste? Do you have metal receptacles for ashes? Do you have your heating plant inspected and the flues or chimneys cleaned at least once a year Do you inspect your gas and electric light fixtures and extension cords occasionally? Do you protect your home or place of business with an approved hand extinguisher? Do you keep one on your car? Do you carry fire insurance? Of course you do. Then you should make an effort to reduce the fire hazard by following the above suggestions. Citation on Petition for Letters of Administration. STATE OF WASHINGTON COUNTY OF Ramsey-ss. In Probate Court. In the Matter of the Estate of Mary Schropfer, Decedent. The State of Minnesota to All Whom It Deserves. FARMER FEED EXPERTS. [NATIONAL Crop Improvement Service.] A farmer who has devoted his lifetime to the study of feeding generally has more success through his common sense methods than any scientific analysis can supply. If such a feeder could have on hand all of the ingredients (most by-products of cereal manufacture), which according to the market at the time would be more economical, he could, through his experience, be very successful in mixing his feeds. But the difficulty with the average man is to maintain an economical ration from the products of his own farm. He may be an expert, if he chooses to study out a new ration every time the market changes, but he generally prefers to let someone who makes a business of mixing feeds do it for him. No doubt the majority of users of mixed feeds begin to buy it because of a shortage of forage and grain crops on the farm. If such a man will keep books he will find that as a usual thing the use of mixed stock feed is a mere matter of arithmetic whether he could buy the ingredients cheaper than he could buy them in a so-called "balanced" ration. MUST TASTE GOOD. A dairy ration must, of all things, be palatable so that a cow will eat it. It must be bulky and coarse so as to avoid indigestion and sickness. It must contain a variety of foods so that the cow will not tire of it or get off her feed. It must contain enough real protein—all protein is not alike. It must contain the right amounts and kinds of mineral substances necessary to life, health and milk secretion. It must be highly digestible. Many feeds are only about fifty to sixty per cent digestible and the work of excreting so much waste matter is costly in that it uses up the energy of the food to do it. SUCCESSFUL FEEDING. It is most significant and probably the best argument for mixed feeds when it is considered that a large number of the most prominent and skilled men in America have discarded their own mixed feeds and rations because they have found a satisfactory brand of feed which will make as much milk at less cost and no trouble and, above all, keeps cows in perfect health. Many agricultural schools and experiment stations use and have used them for the same reason. You can verify this by writing to any experiment station and they will give you the names of mixed brands which are best adapted to your purpose. FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE POUND OF GRAIN. C. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wisconsin, a progressive and practical dairy man, was not satisfied with his ration of home-grown feed. Although he mixed his ration with brains and it seemed to be theoretically correct, he thought he would try out his own mixture in comparison with a first class dairy feed. Much to his surprise he found that he could save about five lbs. of grain per cow per day and nearly 5 cents per cow. He figured his own grain at prices much below the wholesale market and bought his mixed feed at retail. Also when his ration was figured according to Armysb or Energy method his mixed feed proved to be the right combination to make a balanced ration with his own farm roughage. EXPENSIVE PASTURE. When you stop to consider that an acre of pasture will feed a cow, but that that same acre will raise ten tons of silage during the time the cow is feeding on it, it would seem that a grass cafeteria would be the most expensive way to feed your stock. MORE FEED, MORE MILK. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Cows of a decided dairy type will return the greatest profit when fed to their full capacity — Nebraska Experiment Station. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Ordinarily, silage will correct the tendency to costiveness. When it is not sufficiently effective for this purpose, add enough old process oil meal to keep the droppings moderately soft, but not necessarily loose. Usually all that is needed is to increase the allowance of concentrates. There are always two sides to every question. If the government insists on more bran in flour, bossy will have to turn to still more artificial bran. Wheat bran is a dear feed. Barley and rye by-products are more economical. Poverty holds a mortgage on the feeder who can see nothing but the price. Some feeds are as cheap at $50 as other at $25 per ton. When you buy hay for cows it usually costs more than grain by-products, although it costs half as much per ton. It is a fair assumption that any farmer who talks against mixed feeds does not know what a mixed feed ought to be. There is no danger of any man buying a fraudulent feed. The state laws are very stringent on this point and if any man has any doubt as to the value of a feed, all he has to do is to write his State Experiment Station and get the truth.

INTEREST INCREASES IN FOOD CAMP President Wilson And Food Administrator Hoover Back Movement To Utilize State Fairs And Expositions As Food Training Camps—People To Be Taught To Produce And Conserve. The Food Training Camp to be conducted in connection with the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 3 to 8, is expected to prove one of the strongest cards in the government's food conservation campaign in this section of the country. The food training camp movement is gathering force every day; public interest is becoming aroused; practically every organization in this state taking part in the food conservation work is co-operating to make the camp a success; the government has endorsed and is now helping to direct the movement and the exhibitors at the fair are offering to do their share in making it a success. difficult to reach because of the many clubs and other organizations which already exist and which have taken up the food conservation work. As a large part of the attendance at the Minnesota State Fair comes from the rural districts, the food training camp, the government believes, offers a good opportunity to reach them with a direct appeal. For, it is necessary that they be reached if the fruits and other food products, grown in abundance, are to be saved and prevented from going to waste. The livestock exhibits and the exhibits and demonstrations to be put on by the dairy department of the Practically every department at the fair will take a part in the work of food training. Virtually all of the exhibitors will, in their displays, lay emphasis upon the necessity of conserving our food supplies. Lecturers and demonstrators will be on hand to explain the food problems which now confront the American people, the plan being, not only to impress upon all visitors to the fair the necessity of making an economical use of food, but to show specific ways in which every man, woman and child may do a share. Government Enthusiastic. The government, particularly, is enthusiastic over the possibilities the food training camp offers for teaching food efficiency. Not only Mr. Hoover, food administrator, but President Wilson, himself, and the Department of Agriculture have endorsed the camp. It is the plan of the government to make the most of the opportunities offered by sending out lecturers and demonstrators to speak at the fair, and by arranging a series of exhibits by the different government departments, including the Army, Navy, Agricultural and Mr. Hoover's food department. The government sees in the food training camp, for one thing, the possibility of reaching, in a result-getting manner, the men and women of the rural districts and from the farm. This has been one of the government's big problems in its food conservation campaign. The people of the cities it is not so HOME COKING Tel. N. W. OPEN ALL ARCADI W. S.

As a large part of the attendance at the Minnesota State Fair comes from the rural districts, the food training camp, the government believes, offers a good opportunity to reach them with a direct appeal. For, it is necessary that they be reached if the fruits and other food products, grown in abundance, are to be saved and prevented from going to waste. The livestock exhibits and the exhibits and demonstrations to be put on by the dairy department of the University Farm are other departments in which valuable food efficiency work will be done. The directors of the fair are urging a greater production of meat by working for large exhibits of livestock so that the farmer may study the different types and breeds and decide as to which is best for the purpose. To Develop Herds. Much of the effort of the University Farm will be directed to the development of more efficient dairy herds and to the utilization of all possible dairy products. Much milk, especially skim milk, goes to waste in this state every year, and the dairy exhibits will point out the way to make use of all this food which is now being wasted. In order to make the food training camp the greatest possible success in order that both the government and the people may derive the maximum benefit from it, the Minnesota State Farm directors are endeavoring to make the exposition a record breaker in all departments this year. As one way of encouraging attendance, plans have been outlined for materially increasing the exhibits, and a greater variety of amusement and entertainment features have been secured. Auto races, aviation, vaudeville, and a number of big spectacles, including the "War of the Nations," a gigantic display in which the famous British tanks and the other great forces of modern warfare are seen in action, are some of the entertainment features.
