Baron Goto Says He Hopes Nations Will Find Principles on Which to Base Abiding Relations of Mutual Trust and Confidence—Greetings Cabled to President Wilson. Tokyo, Japan.—"By the participation of the United States in the war our ties are strengthened," declared Premier Terauchi at the first dinner of the recently formed American-Japanese society. He had just asserted that never in the history of their intercourse have the two countries come to such a pass as to endanger cordial relationship, and he went on to say: "We are on the eve of joining our resources in chastising a common and obdurate foe in the cause of world peace. The friendly relations of the two countries should Photo by American Press Association. PREMIER TERAUCHI. be cemented more strongly than ever by the combined efforts of both gov- ernments and peoples." Among the 300 members present were many of the most prominent men in Japanese public life. Viscount Kaneko, ex-mister of justice, presided and the principal speech was made by Baron Goto, ex-minister of communications. Baron Goto said: "There are few questions of such vital moment to the welfare of mankind as the relations of Japan and the United States. The era of the Pacific promises to surpass that of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic. All the forces of the east and west will meet. Will they unite or clash? I believe it lies in the power of the United States and Japan to answer that question, on which the future happiness and progress of the world will depend. For this reason the relations between Japan and the United States are of supreme importance. With the awful responsibility that they owe to mankind, will Japan and the United States work hand in hand or will they turn their backs on each other? I hope the two nations will find principles on which to base abiding relations of mutual trust and confidence." Other speakers were Prince Tokugawa, president of the house of peers; Count Okuma, ex-premier; Baron Shibusawa, chairman of the Tokyo Bankers' association; Post Wheeler, who is United States charge d'affaires at Tokyo; George H. Scidmore, United States consul general at Tokohama. After the dinner greetings were cabled to President Wilson. HYMN GIVES WARNING. Music Box Tells Autoist When They Reach High Speed. Taylor, S. C. — Green D. Poole, a clerk in the Southern railway depot, claims to have invented a device which is intended to prevent accidents to automobiles. The working of the attachment is simple and is explained by Poole as follows: "While the car is running fifteen miles an hour a white bulb shows on the radiator, at twenty-five miles a green bulb appears, at forty a red bulb, and when the driver begins to bat 'em out around sixty per a music box under the seat begins to play 'Nearer My God to Thee.'" San Francisco, president of the United railways of San Francisco, declared that he might be called the man who put the "con" in economy. He stated that five years ago he figured he had enough money saved to keep the wolf at bay and decided not to save another cent as long as he lives. His family halted this plan, and Lilienthal asserts they have performed their part not to let him be disappointed by finding any surplus on the first day of January each year. HERO MINUS LEG AND ARM SAVES GIRL. WINS A BRIDE Maimed Export Swimmer Snatches Miss King From the Surf. New York.—The loss of his left arm and left leg did not prevent Ludger Gagne, Jr., of 20 Wesland avenue, Boston, from being an expert swimmer or from saving Miss Louise King of 25 Salem street, Winchester, Mass, from drowning at Revere Beach last summer and eventually winning her for his bride. When twelve years old, just half his present age, Gagne's swimming and diving records were considered marvelous. Then he fell beneath the wheels of a train and lost a leg and an arm. After his wounds had healed and although Boston harbor was full of whitecaps and storm signals were set he swam without trouble to Boston light, six miles out. Gagne was talking to a life guard at Revere Beach last summer when cries for help came from the water. A girl was struggling a considerable distance from shore. Gagne reached the girl first. She was Miss King. Gagne and Miss King became engaged. Her parents favored the match, but advised the young couple to wait until Louise was twenty-one. They vetoed the suggestion, however, and were married by Deputy City Clerk Cruise in the municipal building chapel, this city. NEGRASKA'S CONVICTS MAY GO TO THE FRONT NEGRASKA'S CONVICTS MAY GO TO THE FRONT *They Are to Be Drilled In Tactics by the Warden In the State Penitentiary. Lincoln, Neb.-The state penitentiary is to be turned into a military garrison for a part of each day, and the state's prisoners will become soldiers if necessary. Warden Fenton has decided on military drill for practically all the convicts as soon as sham wooden guns can be made. Prison Secretary O'Connell, a member of the First Nebraska regiment in the Spanish-American war, will be drillmaster in chief. Should the war with Germany reach such a stage as to become a drain on the citizens of the country Warden Fenton believes the younger prison inmates may be called to the front. He says he is adopting the military drill as one of preparedness. The warden will himself take the training with his charges, and if the convicts are summoned to war he will offer his services. He is popular with the men, and they say they would want no better leader. Many have expressed their eagerness to enlist—three-quarter of them—the prison authorities say. There are about twenty former soldiers and sailors in the prison, and these are expected to act as aids to Secretary O'Connell in teaching the war game. The warden says he will see to it that the men lack nothing in knowledge. He has issued a call to the three cooks in the prison that they show their patriotism by complying with the request of President Wilson with respect to wasting of foods. The penitentiary farm is to be enlarged materially. HOARDING IS UNPATRIOTIC. Boston Man Says Those Who Lay Up Food Are Traitors. Boston.-Henry B. Endicott, executive manager of the Massachusetts committee on public safety, issued a statement asserting that the person who hoarded money and large quantities of provisions for an indefinite period "should be pointed out as a traitor to his country and to his fellow men." "Certainly nothing could be further from patriotism or helpfulness to other people," he said, "than for a set of men who have money and credit to selfishly purchase an unusual amount of supplies for themselves and by so doing inflict upon their less wealthy neighbors the burden of unnecessarily high prices." Durham, N. C. — Vegetable gardens bordering the railroad tracks is a new idea in North Carolina to add to America's food supply in the world war. The Durham and Southern railway, owned principally by the Dukes, wealthy New York tobaccoists, has offered its right of way for planting. It has furthermore offered free seed to encourage the growers. FINDS WEDDING RING LOST FOR SEVEN YEARS Wilmington, Del. — It is not only the proverbial bad penny that frequently turns up, as is proved by the case of a long lost wedding ring. Seven years ago Mrs. Frank Carey of 1802 Gilpin avenue lost her wedding ring in the yard of the house in which she was then living. Recently it was returned to her by the present occupant of the house, who discovered it while planting flowers. Defective Page THE APPEAL. MAY HARVEST FISH Secretary Redfield Holds Out New Cheap Living Hope. FARMERS TO PLANT PONDS Predicted That Within Few Years Tillers of the Land Will Be Counting on the Fish Crop Just as Now They Count on Wheat, Corn and Other Products. Washington.—In a communication to the house of representatives asking for a new building for the bureau of fisheries Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce makes several interesting suggestions, and one of them is that within a few years farmers will be counting on their fish crop, just as now they count on wheat, corn and the other regular products of agriculture. The idea of planting and harvesting sunfish, perch, fresh water mackerel, shad, eels and carp is probably a strange one to the average city man, who has little practical knowledge of farming, but Secretary Red- Photo by American Press Association. SECRETARY REDFIELD. field's communication to congress shows that serious thought has been given to the idea. It is also possible that with the great weight in congress attached to the magic word "farmer," the members will give the fish commission a new building with more alacrity. The free seed legislation always meets unanimous approval. Perhaps in some future congress along with the packages of turnip seed and corn there will be sent out under congressional franks letters something like this: "My Esteemed Constituent—I am sending you under separate cover a choice collection of fish eggs, including the roe of the shad, the perch, the dace, the chub and the dogfish. Plant these in your fish ponds, where I hope they will grow to be large and luscious fishes." Secretary Redfield has been a consistent booster for the bureau of fisheries since he took office in the department of commerce, and under his administration the country has received several valuable suggestions as to the edibility of fish little known hitherto. On the subject of fish for farms he says to congress: "Nothing has been done toward the improvement of the races of fishes in respect to size, vigor, rapidity of growth and edible qualities. It is certain that the culture of fish in ponds on farms will assume importance within the next few years, and the farmer should have at his command the best brood stock obtainable and information in regard to its handling and improvement at least equal in reliability to that which he can obtain respecting poultry." FISTS TESTED RECRUITS. Riley Made Sure Men He Recommended Were Fighters. Chicago.—Tom Riley of West Fifteenth street was told at the recruiting station that he was too old to fight, although he begged for an opportunity to enlist. "I guess I'm too old to fight," he said, as he twisted his guarled and bony hands, "but maybe I can send ye some likely lads. Whin they come in, cap, and tell ye they're'm Tom Riley, take me wor-rd they'll be all right." That was one day recently. Since then more than twenty-five huskies have come in, saying they were "recruited" by Tom Riley. Barring black eyes and bruised faces, they were ideal recruits and were gladiately accepted. Old Tom himself appeared again at the station and was informed that all of his recruits had been accepted. Shave Renews His Youth. Bridgeville, Del.—Shaved for the first time in fifty years, Daniel F. Long, who lives outside of Bridgeville, is expecting to become a regular village "cutup." Long is about eighty years old and has not been shaved since he was thirty years old. Long has never visited a large city, never saw a circus, never was on a railroad train and never went to a moving picture show. He expects to go to a "movie" and plans to visit Philadelphia on the next excursion. MAY EAT OAT BREAD. Swedes Ask Permission to Sell It Hunger Marches Cognitive Stockholm.—The Bakers' Association of Sweden presented a memorial to the state economic commission setting forth the difficulties of obtaining sufficient rye and wheat flour and asking the authorities to permit and to order them to use a certain proportion of oat or barley flour in bread. The bakers assert that the situation indicates with certainty that such a measure must be eventually resorted to and point out the advisability of doing it now instead of delaying until the time when the proportions of barley and oats must necessarily be greater than would be the case now. A body of female factory workers estimated at 5,000 married recently in an orderly manner through southern and western Stockholm to the office of the largest local milk company, where they demanded a better distribution of milk and lower prices. Hunger demonstrations continue at various places in the kingdom. METEOR LIKE SEARCHLIGHT. Crashes Into Mountains and Illuminates Whole Valley. Bishop, Cal.—Illuminating the upper Owens valley for half a minute like a searchlight* in the skies, a meteor of extraordinary size and brilliance flared across from east to west one night and brought up against the high Sierra Nevada. There was a crash that could be heard for miles when the foreign body hit the mountain side far above the floor of the valley. It sounded like the impact of a projectile from a great gun against a fort. Residents were startled by the passage of the mighty streak of blue-white fire through the darkness and again by the loud explosion that followed contact with the granite range which stopped it. Then followed a tumbling of dislodged stones not far from the camp of the Round Valley Tungsten company. MORGAN ON PATROL DUTY. Financier's Son Assigned to Ship. Young Iselin Also Enrols. New York.—Junius Spencer Morgan, son of J. P. Morgan, who recently received an ensign's commission in the naval coast defense reserve, was called into active service and assigned to duty on a coast patrol boat. Ensign Morgan has always been interested in boats and sailing. Last summer he shipped as an ordinary seaman on the U. S. S. Maine for the civilian training cruise. Adrian Iselin 2d, son of C. Oliver Iselin, who has sailed many cup defenders to victory, enrolled in the naval reserve as chief boatswain's mate. Paul Nevin, son of the late Ethelbert Nevin, called at the naval reserve offices to enroll. Mr. Nevin came from Tulsa, Okla. As a member of the civilian crew of the Maine last summer he made a record in gunnery. DOG ADOPTS COYOTES Takes Four Into Her Charge on a Ranch. Santa Ana, Cal.-Four coyote pups have been adopted by a mother dog on the ranch of Arthur Pefley, north of Santa Ana. The coyotes were found in the foothills back of El Modena by Virgil Pritchard, a high school boy, whose dogs fought off the mother coyote while Virgil got away with the little coyotes. Clarence Pefley had a dog with two puppies. The four strangers were put on the ground near the mother and the puppies, who were busily engaged in partaking of a meal. Rather bewildered, the coyotes crept to the mother dog. The dog eyed the coyotes, then when they approached she began licking them, and soon the coyotes were just as busily engaged in eating as were their cousins. CHARLES P. TAFT 2D ENLISTS With Nine Yale Students Enters Artillery Service. New Haven, Conn.-Charles P. Taft 2d, son of William Howard Taft and a junior in Yale college, enlisted for the artillery branch of the regular army with nine other undergraduates. All the enlistments were of students who were under age for the reserve officers' training corps of the university and all had consent of their parents. The squad will go to Fort Myer, Ya. The students who were enlisted with Taft were John M. Anderson, Jr., Cincinnati; Robert T. Cairns, Overbrook Pa.; George H. Ennis, Jr., Derby, Conn. John E. Fasick, Altoona, Pa.; Francis T. McNamara, Lincoln, Mass.; Cyril B. Mosher, East Greenwich, R. I.; Albert H. Stackpole, Harrisburg, Pa.; H. S. Porter, Higganum, Conn.; Carl M. Thomas, St. Louis. DROWNS BATHING TOY. Child Falls From Claremont Boat Club's Float. New York—In an effort to give her Teddy bear its first deep water bath Virginia Peterson, three and one-half years old, toppled from a float anchored off the Claremont Boat club, One Hundred and Eighth street and the North river, and was drowned. The child was a prime favorite with yachtsmen along the North river and with her mother lived at the boat club, where the latter is employed as maid. Robert Harris of 201 West Twenty-sixth street recovered the body, but resuscitation was impossible even with a pulmotor. MINE FIELDS LAID. Entrances to Important Harbors Are Quickly Protected. Every Square Foot of Water Near Port of New York Made Unsafe Even For Rowboat—Rear Admiral Knight Set About Safeguarding Narragansett Bay Naval District. Washington.—When the break with Germany came two of the most elaborate and intricate mine fields that a nation ever devised for the safeguarding of a city's water gates were planned by the coast artillery. and the corps of engineers to protect the entrances to the waters immediately about New York. It was a task which was completed in all save the last detail, the actual laying of the mines, and these were stored by hundreds at Fort Totten and Sandy Hook, ready for the message from the war department which would send the mine layers out with their gingerly handled burdens. The aggressiveness and determination with which an attack can be delivered are a lesson of the European war which has not been lost upon the military and naval offices of this country. BEAR ADMIRAL KNIGHT. It has certainly proved of vast value to the coast artillery, which as a second and third line of defense will be intrusted with the defense of New York. The first line is the navy, the fourth is the mobile army. Newport, R. I., the seat of a torpedo factory, a mine base, fuel station, munition magazines, the naval war college and other departments of high naval importance, was formally transferred from the control of Collector of Customs Fitzslimmons to Rear Admiral Austin M. Knight. The latter immediately set about protecting the harbor and the entire Narragansett bay naval district against any emergency. Mines were collected at Forts Greble and Adams ready for distribution in the waters of the harbor approaches. Every strategic center was placed under double guard, the public was refused admission and troops refused leave of absence except in special instances. Officers received what is known as the "mobilization slate," indicating the posts which they will be called upon to fill in the event of an actual mobilization order. The naval torpedo factory was especially busy. Extra time by workers and operation in shifts have been ordered, while efforts were made to recruit 400 additional machinists. Three torpedo boat destroyers, with a full quota of torpedoes, are protecting the factory and ready at the same time to perform such other duties as the commandant may order. "IT'S REAL SPORT." This Fighting of Duelis In Air, Aviator on Furlough Says. Cleveland, O.-"It's real sport," said Robert Rockwell, a member of the French aviation service, who is home on a furlough. "The Americans in the service," said Rockwell, "look upon it as sport. They forget it is war. When we come back and, laughing, tell how some enemy birdman escaped, our officers remind us we are 'at war.'" Rockwell went to France two years ago as a member of the hospital service. He joined the air squad last March. He will rejoin the service on the Somme front. His cousin, Kiffin Rockwell, was killed in an air duel. U. S. LAYS SUBMARINE NET. It Blocks Entrance to Hampton Roads and Is Two Miles Long. Norfolk, Va.—As a protection against hostile submarines a powerful steel net has been placed in Hampton Roads between Fort Wool and the government pier at Fort Monroe. The net blocks entrance to the entire channel of the roads and affords absolute protection to Fort Monroe and Old Point Comfort. The net was laid with so much secrecy that its presence was not known until masters of vessels were forbidden to pass over it without authority from the commanding officer of the navy patrol boats now on duty in the roads. The net is about two miles long. Its efficiency was proved by the capture of the steamship Madison: In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. HISTORICAL SOCIETY FARM HANDS GET $45 A MONTH, WITH BOARD That's In South Dakota, Where Bumper Crops Are Predicted. Sloux Falls, S. D.—Because of a shortage of farm hands it has become necessary in many parts of South Dakota for the women and boys of the households and even the girls to work in the fields. So the farmers and their wives and children are hard at work putting in what is believed to be the greatest acreage of spring wheat in the history of the state. With the prospect that prices for foodstuffs will continue high during the war the farmers have decided to increase their crop acreage. With a favorable season South Dakota will produce this year the greatest crop of foodstuffs in its history. The residents of towns are preparing to have larger vegetable gardens than ever before, so there is every indication that the state will make a new record in crop production this year. Farm hands ready for work demand from $35 to $45 a month and board, and in many instances the farmers pay these prices. Only a few years ago good farm hands could be had from $12 to $20 a month and board, and those who received the higher figure were the enlisted of their fellows. NATIVES LOOTED SHIP DRIVEN IN BY A U BOAT NATIVES LOOTED SHIP DRIVEN IN BY A U BOAT Battle Between Crew and Beach Combers, During Which One of Latter Was Killed. New York—Driven by pitiless "tigers of the sea" into the clutches of equally pitiless human tigers lurking along the beaches of northern Spain was the fate of the officers and crew of the schooner Phineas W. Sprague, the captain and chief officer of which vessel arrived in an American port on board a passenger liner from Cadiz. According to Captain F. A. Jarvis, the Sprague was pursued by a German U boat while coasting through the bay of Biscay and was forced to seek refuge inside the three mile limit. There the vessel was caught by a treacherous current and thrown on the beach near Carbonares, Spain. No sooner did the residents of that part of King Alfonso's domain see that the schooner was helpless, declares the captain, than they boarded the vessel in droves and commenced to loot her. A battle between the crew of the schooner and the beach combers ensued, during which one of the latter was killed. The Sprague was a total loss. On board the same vessel which brought Captain Jarvis and his chief officer back to this country were several other survivors of submarine disasters, including Captain Phillip H. Johnson and twenty-one men of the steamship Zward and five men from the schooner Edwin R. Hunt, both of which were destroyed by U boats. OWL MAKES TOWN DARK. Alights on Electric Wire, Damaging Lighting Service. Durham, N. C.—A few nights ago about 9:30 o'clock the electric lights of Morgantown, N. C., began flickering and finally went out. It was later discovered that a little insignificant screech owl was the cause of the trouble, losing its life as a forfelt for attempting to alight on an insulator. The bird was shown on the streets of the town. Its wings were scorched from tip to tip and its body was burned by contact with the live wire. When the owl alighted on the insulator the current was started racing to the ground, and the insulator burst. The line wire was burned in two, and when it fell the current was cut off automatically at the switching station. BREEZE GOT THE MONEY. Any One May Keep Three One-Dollar Bills if He Finds Them. Wichita, Kan.-The wind blew fretfully the other day in Wichita, Mrs. Sam Sanders of Whitewater, who had been shopping, did not close her pocketbook securely, and at the corner of Main Street and Douglas avenue a five dollar bill and three one-dollar bills were blown out. They rose high in the air, and John Young, a police captain, and others went in pursuit. A block away a negro overtook the "five." The others had disappeared, Taking the "five" to Mrs. Sanders, he returned it, with a bow. "Thank you," said she. "You can have the others if you find 'em." DRAFT SONS TO FARM. Fathers Plan Land Purchase to Exempt Boys From Army. Washington—Casting about for ways to keep their sons, who are a little over twenty-one, out of the army, two rich men in upper New York state have written to Representative Charles B. Smith to know if they purchased farms and put their boys on them would not that exempt their sons from the draft. They proposed to make their sons superintendents of the farms and thus entitled to exemption, they thought, as "agriculturists." At the war department it was said that this ruse would not get very far, as neighbors could be depended upon to expose it. $2.40 PER YEAR. MARINES GO FIRST Seasoned Veterans to Be Under Colonel Doyen's Command. MAINLY FROM WEST INDIES. Colonel Doyen, Fifty-eight Years Old, Is Graduate of Naval Academy—He Has Seen Service In the Philippines and Orient and In Haiti and Santo Domingo. Washington.—A regiment of veteran United States marines, equipped as regular infantry, will go to France as part of Major John J. Pershing's command. There will be approximately 2,600 men in the regiment, probably the largest numerically that will be engaged on the western front. Colonel A. Doyen, at present commandant of the United States marine barracks in this city, who has been in the service thirty-four years, will command this new American contingent. For the most part the marines will be taken from regiments now on duty in Haiti, Santo Domingo and Cuba. Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL CHARLES A. DOYEN. This means that Secretary Daniels will send the pick of "sea soldiers" with General Pershing's command. Every marine in the contingent will be a veteran who has been frequently in action. The American marines have been characterized as the peer of any fighting force on earth. Colonel Doyen is a graduate of the Naval academy. He is fifty-eight years old, but remarkably active for a man of his years. He has seen service in the Philippines and the orient, in Haiti and Santo Domingo and in other places wherever marines have been in action. Secretary Daniels would give no inking as to when the big regiment will go across the Atlantic. This information will be in absolute secrecy, just as the departure of General Pershing and his staff and the force which is to follow them will be closely guarded by the military authorities. SCHEME TO BEAT U BOAT. Connecticut Man Would Corral Torpedoes With Magnet. Waterbury, Conn.-Fred Hemmings has invented a device to offset the danger of the torpedo in its attack from the submarine or otherwise. The device is an electric arrangement of great magnetic power attached to the side of the ship, which will attract the torpedo, bring it to the side of the ship attacked and then lift it to the deck without exploding it. Mr. Hemmings believes it is destined to revolutionize sea fighting and will make vessels practically immune from torpedo attacks. Lawrence Addicks, chairman of the naval board, is now considering its adoption for service. Theodore Roosevelt has congratulated Mr. Hemmings in a private letter. PLOWING DAY AND NIGHT. Tractor and Searchlights Used to Help Cayuga County Farmers. Auburn, N. Y.—The Cayuga County Home Defense league committee began intensive food production on the farms of the county by putting out tractors which will plow continuously day and night. Searchlights have been installed, and three crews will go with each machine, working in eight hour shifts. The committee charges farmers $2.50 per acre to plow and $3.50 an acre to plow and fit the land, which covers cost of operation and maintenance. PLAN HOW TO MAKE AN EGG WEIGH MORE Simple as adding two and two is the plan launched in Chicago by the American Poultry association to increase the nation's meat supply by 100,000,000 pounds in four months. Raise chickens, is the answer. Lone egg doesn't weigh much, but in four months it can be transformed into a chicken weighing three pounds. A LITANY OF ATLANTA BY DR. W. E.

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 falls 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 feroicities 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.

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.

Our country is in dire need of clear heads and stout hearts—Christian hearts, both within and without." 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. --- 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 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." According to statistics prepared by Frederick L. Hoffman for "Spectator," Memphis, Tenn., has the unavailible distinction of being the murder metropolis of the United States. More homicides were committed in Memphis than in any other city in proportion to the population. 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. Many colored people are advocating "self effacement" for the race as the solution of the race problem. The more the race gives the more its enemies will demand. Never willingly relinquish any right. The East St. Louis riot situation is to be investigated thoroughly by the Illinois State Council of Defense. A sub committee is now in session taking testimony. --- COLORED TROOPS BARRÉD. Race Prejudice Prevents Soldiers from Being Sent South. Washington, D. C., August, 1917. The war department has decided that no colored regiments shall be sent with the national guard training camps in the south. Objections of southern cities to having the men in colored troops sent to training camps in their district are understood to have inspired the war decision. The fear of race riots, aroused since the riots in East St. Louis and Chester, Pa., and the trouble in southern towns where colored regulars were stationed was another compelling reason. Iowa has been considered as a State in which a cantonment site might be obtained for colored troops. A colored officers' reserve camp is now being held at Des Moines. Several Southern representatives have told War Department officials that colored soldiers will be welcomed if they are well disciplined. There are two complete regiments of colored national guardsmen, the Fifteenth New York and the Eighth Illinois. There are two battalions, one from the District of Columbia and one from Ohio, Connecticut, Maryland, Tennessee and Massachusetts furnish four separate companies. "IN BLOOD-SMEARED GARMENTS" Colored Committee Would Make Riots and Lynchings Federal Crimes. Washington, D. C., August, 1917. A committee represented colored people who had a silent parade in Nework to protest against race riots, left a petition at the White House asking for action by Congress and the President to make "lynching and mob violence" a national crime punishable by the laws of the United States. In their petition the colored men pointed out that in the last 31 years,2,867 of their race, men and women, have been lynched, and that less than half a dozen of those involved have punished. The petition also says "no one seeks to fight the battles of civilization can afford to march in blood-smeared garments. James W. Johnston, the N. A. A. C. P. was the spokesman who addressed Secretary-Tumulty. The president said he was too busy to see the petitioners. Chicago's Colored Protest Alleged race discrimination by the war department in the handling of colored troops led prominent Chicago colored men to send a strong telegram of protest to Washington. "Reported here," it reads, "the war department has issued orders that no colored national guard regiment shall be allowed to attend training camps in the south because of prejudice of southern people. "We protest against any order by the government based upon race discrimination. Our soldiers have enlisted and are drafted and will fight and die if need be for this country and democracy. "We demand the same treatment and training for all United States soldiers regardless of race or color. Let our government disregard for one country, one flag, one stand for all citizens and for real democracy in our own country as well as for democracy in Europe." Not Wanted Just Now (From the Cleveland Gazette.) Some of our readers do not seem to understand the "If of African descent tear off this corner" note on the government registration cards. A little thought will make it clear, we feel sure. "Ham" is not wanted JUST NOW! LIBERATION OF ALL PEOPLES. Over three weeks ago, on the eve of an anniversary dedicated to the establishment, in America of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, occurred the blackest atrocity in the history of the republic. We venture, after the lapse of nearly a month, to revert to this outrage of all outrages because (1) The proper authorities have failed to act. (2) The horror is far greater than anyone dreams. (3) The episode may repeat itself. (Note the riots at Chester, Penn., and Youngstown, O.) In East St. Louis some desultory inquests have been held. No serious effort to apprehend and punish the guilty has been made. The President of the United States, commander-in-chief of the army, members of which were actively and passively engaged in the slaughter, has uttered no word. From tentative reports, which we know to be reliable and will be published in due course of time, we quote the following excerpts: "The number of victims—it is openly admitted by all—is probably nearly 200. The 37 casualties announced include only those colored shot in the street whose bodies were recovered. More than 300 colored homes have been burned, whole blocks where nothing was left, and it is impossible to estimate exactly the number who perished in the fire. One girl was standing at a window of a white woman's house in which she worked. Her arm was shot away. A policeman and a soldier, she said, did the shooting. An old woman, frightfully burned, dying in the hospital, was asked if the mob had done it and replied: 'No, they jes' set fire to my house and I burned myself trying to get out.' One of the St. Louis reporters said that he knew exactly how people felt who had seen atrocities abroad and were trying to 'get them across' to the rest of the world, 'although,' he added, 'not even Belgium probably has anything quite as horrible to show.' About 10 blocks of colored homes were burned, and the mobs stood outside and shot and stoned those who tried to escape. The mob seized a colored woman's baby and threw it into the fire. The woman was then shot and thrown in." We do not expect all our readers to believe these details. Their gruesomeness strains even our war-hardened credulity, but these and other facts will be fully attested by various investigations now in progress. The question is—what are we going to do about it? We are engaged in a great war "to make the world safe for democracy." In the words of the President, "We fight for the liberation of all peoples." We of The Journal believe this. We believe that this is a war to abolish military autocracy and to make the world safe—at least from the greatest visible external menace—for the rights and self-government of smaller nations and weaker peoples. To this cause the country is dedicating its young men and its treasure. But what about the problem nearer home? Are the colored people in this country, Americans originally—not from choice, but from compulsion—excepted from the fine phrases and lofty sentiments of the nation's head? It is no overstatement to say that the East St. Louis massacre is the supreme barbarity of the age. Nothing in the European holocaust exceeds, if indeed, it equals, this unparalleled butchery. Language fails adequately to categorize it. It has infinitely less justification than the shooting of hostages in Belgium and northern France, than the pogroms of old Russia, than the Turk slaughter of Armenians. In all these, either war, or ancient religious hate, or the admittedly univilized status of the perpetrators extenuated, if it did not excuse the crimes. And this is no foreign problem. To quote again from the eminently applicable words of the President's war message: "The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are not common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life." The fault is not easily apportioned. In a certain sense it rests upon all of us Americans—as much upon those who peacefully acquiesce as those who openly encourage the discriminations and the injustices which have created a situation in this land of freedom and equality which makes our treatment of the colored race the supreme anachronism of civilization. Our handling of the problem represents the nadir the world over in the application of the most elementary principles of Christianity, humanity, decency. We repeat, the guilt rests with all of us—on the President of the United States, on the Negro-hating officials of the South, on the employers of the whole country who refuse employment to qualified and worthy blacks because of their color, on labor union workers who debar a man from earning his bread at their side because of a dusky skin. Common justice and common sense demand an earnest effort at settling this grave problem. And what better time to face this question honestly and soberly than at a time when this entire nation, including its colored citizenry, is offering its life-blood to make the world safe for democracy? 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 Pilates! 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, 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 sludder 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 I 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. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! Who is to blame? * * * * * WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, University Students’ Duty in Present War. * ‘The University of Minnesota, in sending tp 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 high- est duty lies in the present war emer- gency. To aid students in solving this prob- lem the notice quotes the following from the national government's bureau of education: “We believe that all young men be- low the age of liability to the selective draft and those not recommended for special service, who can avail them- selves of the opportunities offered by our eolleges, should be urged to do so inv order that 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’ engineer- ing, are rendering, or are to render, through the continuance of thetr train: ing, services more+valuable and efll- cient than if they were to enroll in military or naval service at once.” Following this and a statement by President Wilson to the effect that he sees no necessity for suspending the sessions of the colleges, and univers ties, and thinks that such a suspension —no matter how attrac- tive goods & prices may look elsewhere, you never - will know how much more you can get for your money. here until you come and see - for yourself.

GORDON & FERGUSON Would be very much against public interest, the notice goes on to say: “Colleges and universities are organ- ized primarily to train men and women for leadership in the various activities of life and in the affairs of the nation. It is a well-known fact that college men everywhere. in large numbers have been among the first to offer themselves for service in army, navy and reserve officers’ training corps. “These leaders may very likely be lost in the cause. “The ranks of the universities must be Kept filled in order that the nation’s need be met now and at the close of the war when the need will be great- est, The period of reconstruction will make severe demands upon all edu: cated and thoroughly trained men and women.” MINNESOTA STATE FAIR To Be Held From September 3 to Sep- ‘tember 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 de- mand for space and, with the govern- ment placing exhibits for the first time, there is every reason to be- lieve that the fair will be the biggest ever held in the country. “AN that we are worrying about this year,” stated Thomas H. Can- field, Secretary-General Manager, re cently, “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 superin- tendent. Recently Mr. Howard issued an appeal for more space, stating 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 optimis. tically inclined, Mr. Ray P. Speer, Publicity Man- ager 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 a member of Food Administrator Hoover's advisory board, “is bigger than people of the Northwest realize. It ts, in fact, the biggest problem the government has ever had to solve and when one realizes that it covers such @ 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, aro. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY -OF Ramsey—ss.

Attend the Food Training Camp and learn how you may best do your part in conserving our food supplies, Minnesota State Fair To Co-operate With Government Officials In Campaign To Save The Fast Diminishing * Producing Herds—Stock Exchange To Be Held To Bring Buyer and Seller Together, ‘One of the most important features of the Minnesota State Fair, which this year is to be held September 3 to 8, and which is to bo conducted as & government “Food Training Camp,” will be the livestock exhibits. ‘These exhibits have always been an important part of the State Fair, but they are made doubly important’ this year because of the fact that the great world war has for several years been draining the supply, especially im America, which has been obliged to feed the world almost from the very start of the struggle for human- ity. Realizing the great necessity of pro- ducing and conserving food, the gov- ernment officials at Washington have Joined the movement recently start- ed to make the fairs and expositiogs throughout the coutitry centers where the people car be taught these things. Especially are the government off clals eager to stimulate the raising of sheep, swine, horses, cattle and poul- try and they will leave no stone un- turned in the effort to produce great- er efficiency. To this end the State Fair manage- ment has offered inducements in the way of attractive premlums for the best im the various branches in the livestock department. A Livestock Exchange. Among the various features which will interest those who aro interest- ed in the raising of stock and also those who attend the wonderful shows held each year at the fair, will be the cattle exchange, which is to be locat- ed near the livestock pavilion. ‘This exchange will serve a double purpose; it will bring together men who have high grade cattle to sell and men who wish to buy such cattle. ‘The idea of instituting a cattle ex- change was originated by Prof. H. H. Kildes, head of the dairy husbandry department of the Minnesota College of Agriculture, who is recognized as ‘one of the best authorities in the coun- try on the dairy industry, and who has loug realized that stringent mea- sures must be adopted if the produc- ing herds of the country are to be saved. He is authority for the state- ment that the dairying industry of the United States is being seriously threatened by the rapidity with which the herds are being Killed off and that ees eG HOME COKING Teh, NW.

At the Minnesota State Fair, which is to be the model “Food ‘Training Camp” for the country and which will be copied by the other big faira and expositions, thousands of people from all sections of the Northwest will gather and to these persons will be given the urgent message of Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson—that each and every individual in the country must realize the importance of and must do his share in producing and con- serving food if America and her al- lies are to win the titanfe struggle for democracy and humanity, Farmers and stock growers all over the West will doubtless take advant- age of the opportunity to show their stock this season. The State Falr of- ficials are of the opinion that the live stock show this year will far surpass any yet held, despite the war condt- tions, and that the campaign already started by the government to encour- age production and conservation will have its effect. Secretary Thomas Canfleld of the Minnesota State Fair is optimistic over the prospects of the big annual show and believes that, with the government behind it to the extent of sending sev- eral exhibits and also speakers the 1917 State Fair will be the best ever. “We are doing everything in our power,” said Mr. Canfield, “to encour- age the raising and showing of live- stock of all kinds. We want to co- operate with the government 60 as to stimulate activity, especially in the raising of stock. "No efforts will be spared this year to make the displays in the different departments of the livestock section the best we have ever had. We have experts who this year will give their co-operation in every Possible way and, I belleve, the re sults of the fair will be evident te the next two or three years.” SOCIETY DIRECTORY eee : a PAUL wasoiic ee & o 5 ey ¢ urea ' awe Eu sel 1d aa Pesos gk i Rie eae ees atk eg s most WonsmIPrUL GRAND LopGM Pre MINNESOTA’ TAND AL. an. 1.
