S. is ruled by mob violence. 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 barbari- ties 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 cruu- ties 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. Nothing more revo- lting was ever charged against Ne- A Litany of Atlanta the voice afar in mist and mystery hath treated in these fearful days— In our faces dark with doubt, are made With uplifted hands we front Thy for us, good Lord I Our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and as do devilty, censure Thou the does and cursse them, do to them all and more anocerce and weakness, to womanhood Silent God, Thou whose voice afar in mist and mystery bath left our ears an-hungered in these fearful days— Hear us, good Lord! Listen to us, Thy children: our faces dark with doubt, are made a mockery in Thy sanctuary. With uplifted hands we front Thy heaven, O God, crying: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men. When our devils do devilry, curse Thou the doer and the deed: curse them as we curse them, do to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. Have mercy upon us, miserable sinners! And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Thou knowest, good God! Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Justice, O Judge of men! Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead?

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 desplied, 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 APEHEA 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.

Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man lieth maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil. Doth not this justice of hell stink in Thy nostrils, O God? How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance?

Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! Keep not thou silence, O God! do and say when the earthquake and the volcano shall be around you. 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 murderfest that we print in this issue Du Bois' "A Litany of Atlanta," by express permission of the New York Independent. 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. For Race Riots at East St. Louis. Belleville, Ill., Aug. 16—Indictments against 105 persons—23 colored men and 82 whites—alleged to be the ring-leaders and participants in the East St. Louis race riots of July 2, has been returned by the St. Clair County grand jury. Drawn down, however, that Corinthus Hickey, lieutenant of police of East St. Louis, who was on duty as head of the department the night of the riots, is one of the men held for conspiracy. Six other police officers of East St. Louis are named for conspiracy, and some for other alleged crimes: in connection with the riots. Nine of the indicted men are charged with murder in addition to several other crimes. Seven are charged with conspiracy. Five are arson, thirteen with rioting, twenty-six with assault with intent to commit murder, one with malicious mischief, two with burglary, and one with arson for the purpose of defrauding. That a "shrew, criminal, invisible hand" directed the preparations made in advance for the rioting the grand jury asserts is "a grave suspicion." The jury's recommendations in part are as follows: It is the belief of the grand jury that the indictments include all the mob leaders. East St. Louis was visited by one of the worst race riots in history. We believe the riots were deliberately plotted. Indent public officials heard the rumblings, but over-awed by cowardly inclinations, remained inactive. Name of passion and unreasoning violence—all introduced into the community—intriguing ringleaders—caused white people to obey the death some of the oldest and most respected colored citizens of East St. Louis. We further believe that the hand of a strong and fearless public official could have restrained the atrocities. We believe that the riot was caused by a propaganda of intolerance the race were taught to have for each other. Not Consistent (Baltimore (Md.)

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 northern colored troops sent to training camps in their midst are understood to have inspired the new decision, the fear of race riots, afounded 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 disciplined. There are complete regiments of colored national guardmen, 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, 1817. A committee representing colored people who had a silent parade in Newark 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. The petition colored the men pointed out that in areas are 2,867 of their race, men and women, have been lynched, and that less than half a dozen of those involved have been punished. The petition also says "nation that seeks to fight the battles of civilization can afford to march in blood-smeared garments." J. James W. Johnson of the N. A. A. C. was warned that many who addressed Secretary Tumulty. The president said he was too busy to see the petitioners. Chicago's Colored Protest. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 1917. 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 being drafted and will fight 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 stand for our country, one flag, one duty for all citizens and for real democracy in our own country as well as for democracy in Europe." Not Wanted Just Now.

Journal—Leading Daily Paper.) 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 flames. 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 small political bodies. 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 uncivilized 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." Who is to blame? 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 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.

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 Pillies! 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. Lord, we have done these pleading, wavering words. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! * * * * * WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS. IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.

This function was very largely attended and the hostess was assisted in receiving and serving the guests in the house and dining table were beautifully decorated, the color scheme being the Eastern Star colors of blue, yellow, white, green and red. An impromptu miscellaneous program of speaking, singing and music added no little to the pleasure of the occasion. Thursday the Grand Chapter routine business was continued and in the evening came the installation of officers and Grand Ball, which jam packee Union Hall. The scene presented has never before been surpassed in the hall. The installation was conducted by Mr. L. B. Shepard, Madison, Wis, retiring—Worthy Grand Patron; Mrs. Mary E.

Monroe, Associate Grand Matron, beautiful bouquet, speech by Mrs. Louise Tucker. The recipients of the gifts all made fitting responses. The big crowd was not as courteous as it should have been during the installation and made entirely too much noise. The hammer in which some of our people behave in public places is very shameful. After the presentations the floor was cleared and the dancing began to the strains of music from Grant's Orchestra and continued until one o'clock G.M. (Good Morning). The crowd was the largest since the former opus light the hall and it was veritable landscape of color as the handsome ladies were superbly gowned in all colors of the rainbow. The Grand Chapter was compelled to hold an extra session yesterday to complete its business. All delegates and visitors are warm in their praise of the excellent manner they were received and entertained by the people of the Twin Cities. The Grand Chapter issued a handsome 8-page program that was much admired and of which THE APPEAL is somewhat proud as it was a production from its office as well as the fact that of the twenty-five advertisements that were printed in it all but one was of our own business people. The success of the meeting was due in a very large measure to the General Committee: Mrs. Ella D. Glass, chairman; Mrs. Ida Broyles, asst. chairman; Mrs. Lars Stonon, secretary and Mrs. Della Pott treasurer. The names of this committee should have appeared on the printed program but were left of by unavoidable accident.

It may not be generally known that we have in the city of St. Paul the only colored female Bacteriologist in the United States, in the person of Mrs. L. B. Gross, of 419 Western avenue; who for about a year has been studying bacteriology at the Beebe Laboratories, 161-163 West Third street. 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 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?

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 kept high and at the close of the war when the army is greatest. The period of reconstruction will make severe demands upon all educated and thoroughly trained men and women." MINNESOTA STATE FAIR To Be Held From September 3 to September 8 Bigger and Better 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 face and, with the government lauching an effort to get the first time, there is every reason to believe that the fair will be the biggest ever held in the country. "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 we will bring the seek of the fair, and we will bank 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 for more space, stating that the exhibits already accounted for more than fill the space allotted to the museum. Similar conditions seem to prevail in many of the other departments and the fair managers are very optimistically inclined. Mr. Ray P. 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 success of the annual fair. "This food movement, which will be made the chief focus 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 is, in fact, the biggest problem the government has ever had to solve and when one realizes that it covers such old 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 telephone operators pronounce numbers thus: 1. "Wun"—strong N. 2. "Too"—strong T and long O. 3. "Th-r-e"—slightly rolling R and E. 4. "Foe"—short, with long O. 5. "Five"—long I and short V. 6.

LIVE STOCK SHOW WILL BE BIG ONE 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 be conducted as a 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 in America, which has been obliged to feed the world almost from the very start of the struggle for human- something must be done at once to impress upon the people that they must do their share or there will be a disastrous shortage of food from those sources. The wonderful opportunity afforded the government to spread the doctrine of production and conservation of food through the big state fairs and expositions will doubtless do more than anything else to remedy the situation which exists at present and which each year has been getting more serious. First Training Camp. At the Minnesota State Fair, which is to be the Realizing the great necessity of producing and conserving food, the government officials at Washington have joined the movement recently started to make the fairs and expositions throughout the country centers where the people can be taught these things. Especially are the government officials eager to stimulate the raising of sheep, swine, horses, cattle and poultry and they will leave no stone unturned in the effort to produce greater efficiency. To this end the State Fair management has offered inducements in the way of attractive premiums for the best in the various branches in the livestock department. A Livestock Exchange. Among the various features which will interest those who are interested 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 located 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 exchange was originated by Prof. 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 country on the dairy industry, and who has long realized that stringent measures must be adopted if the producing herds of the country are to be saved. He is authority for the statement 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 HOME COOKING TEL. H.

The wonderful opportunity afforded the community to spread the doctrine of production and conservation of food through the bible the fairs and expositions will doublet more than anything else to remedy the situation which exists at present and which each year has been getting more serene. At the Minnesota State Fair, which is to be the model "Food Training Camp" for the industry and which will be copied by the other big fairs and expositions, thousands of people from all sections of the Northwest will gather and to these persons will be given the urgent message of President Woodrow Wilson—that each and every individual in the country must realize the importance and must do his share in producing and conserving food if America and her allies are to win the titanic struggle for democracy and humanity. Farmers and stock growers all over the West will doubtless take advantage of the opportunity to show their stock this season. The State Fair officials are of the opinion that the livestock show this year will far surpass any yet held, despite the war conditions, and that the campaign already started by the government to encourage production and conservation will have its effect. Secretary Thomas Canfield 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 several exhibits and also speakers the 1917 State Fair will be the best ever. "We are doing everything in our power," said Mr. Canfield, "to encourage the raising and showing of livestock of all kinds. We want to cooperate with the government so 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. We have experts who this year will give their co-operation in every possible way and, I believe, the results of the fair will be evident in the next two or three years."
