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 govern- ments and peoples." Among the 800 members present were many of the most prominent men in Japanese public life. Viscount Kaneiko, ex-minster of justice, presided and the principal speech was made by Baron Goto, ex-minster 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 Yokohama. 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.'" ALMOST EVERYBODY IS DOING SAME THING San Francisco. — Jesse Lilleman, 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 halled this plan, and Lilleman asserts they have performed their part not to let him be disappointed by finding any surplus on the first day of January each year. PLAN FOR DEAF AND DUMB. Intensive Production of Munitions In France Given Them Change Paris gives them chance. Paris. The intensive production of munitions in France, with its enormous requirements in hand labor, has opened up a new future for the deaf and dumb, who before the war were excluded from factory work. Now hundreds of them are making shells and parts of automobiles and aeroplanes for the army. Some are earning the equivalent of $4 a day. Manufacturers refused deaf and dumb help previously because of employers' liability laws. There were also prejudices against them because of the supposed difficulty of conveying orders. In practice it has been found the deaf and dumb meet with no more accidents than their comrades. They learn even more quickly than do many normal workmen, and their attention never being diverted by conversation their output is of the best finish and equal in volume to that of the best mechanics. The minister of armament has issued a circular to directors of hand labor in munition factories ordering them to prevent discrimination against deaf and dumb applicants for employment as mechanics. FARMERS SHOOT DEFR Say They Are Obliged to Do So to Save Orchard and Crops. Burnage, N. J.-Ocean county farmers are taking the law into their own hands and shooting deer out of season to save their crops from the ravages of herds of these animals. A committee headed by Ezra Parker and W. J. Dougan returned from a visit to the governor and said the state was powerless to protect the farmers or to suspend the law, which provides a penalty of $100 for each deer killed. The board of freeholders also was appealed to, but members said they had no authority to save the crops, although Director Otis of the board said he saw a herd of seven deer eating his crops. So desperate have the farmers become that they are now shooting the deer and using the meat. The game wardens have not made any arrests, and it is a question whether they could obtain any convictions if they did. FAREWELLS IN A BOTTLE. First Definite News of Loss of the Frederick In 1916. Baltimore—A bottle containing nine messages of farewell, washed ashore at the Orkney islands in February, tells briefly of the fate of the old Merchants and, Miners' steamship Frederick, which left here in December, 1915, and the following month sailed from New York for Archangel, Russia. The messages were set adrift by the crew when the ship was sinking in midocean. One missive is from George Matthews, steward, who was supposed to have been a Baltimorean. The note is in lead pencil and reads: Friends or whom it may concern: We are sinking in midocean, and the captain has departed. There are ten left behind. Baltimore, the steward of the ship, George Matthews, Goodby. EX-KING IN RED CROSS Manuel Heads Orthopedic Section of British Organization. Liverpool.-Manuel, former king of Portugal, has just been appointed by the British Red Cross society as head of its section of orthopedics, relating to the treatment of deformities in wounded soldiers. The former king has for several years been interested in work of this character. He is now engaged in a tour of inspection with Colonel Robert Jones, inspector general of orthopedics in the British army, of all the institutions in Great Britain where wounded soldiers are receiving treatment of this character. One of the largest of these institutions is in Liverpool, and Manuel spent three days there, devoting one day to the surgical wards and operating rooms and acting as an assistant at an operation in a hospital. "Adopt" French Town. Washington.—A group of Washington citizens has formally "adopted" the French town of Noyon. These patriots have pledged themselves to raise $60,000 to restore the devastated town through the French restoration fund. ROSES ON AN APPLE TREE IN DELAWARE Wilmington, Del.-While it is seldom one hears of garden flow- ers growing on fruit trees, there is an apple tree in Kent county which blossoms each spring with pink roses exactly like those grown on the average rosebush, with the exception that they grow in clusters like cherries. This tree stands in the front yard of the Joseph Zavis farm, on the state road, near Dennya. Corner. The tree was planted years ago by Julian Emerson. He experimented at grafting, and his whim led him to try growing flowers on fruit trees. He grafted a rosebush on the young apple tree, but did not live long enough to see the result of his experiment. This year Mr. Zavis has plucked hundreds of roses from the apple tree. It is an ap- ple tree in name only, for it will never bear fruit. Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLI THE APPEAL. WOMEN CAN HELP WIN WAR IN THE KITCHEN Do Your Own Marketing and Put Family on a Ration Basis. New York.—Every woman can help win the war in her own kitchen, says Ida Vera Simonton of the Vigilantes, if she will read, remember and obey the following "twelve commandments:" Avoid waste and practice the strictest economy. Put your family on a ration basis. Do your own marketing. Select foods of nourishing and sustaining qualities. Serve as many of them raw as possible. Employ vegetable butter at 26 cents a pound instead of ordinary butter at 55 cents a pound. Employ peanut oil instead of lard or other shorteners. Use pulverized instead of ground coffee, brown sugar instead of white and cormmeal instead of wheat flour. Substitute rice, beans and fish for meat, and remember that green -bananas baked in the skin are far more nutritious and easily digested than ripe ones. Practice absolute cleanliness and help keep down plagues and pestilences. Boycott every dealer who attempts to inflate prices. ARMY OF SOIL READY FOR LAST BIG DRIVE Number of Vegetables Still Can Be Planted—Late Potatoes Up to July 1. Washington. — With the advance guard of the United States army under Major General Persling ordered to the front in France, now is the time for the last big drive by the army of the soil that is alumining at a million food gardens this year, says Charles Lathrop Pack, president National Em.gency Food Garden Commission. The garden recruits should keep in mind that there are a number of vegetables that still can be planted, and those of you who have not started should do so now. Write to the National Emergency Food Garden 'Commission, 210 Maryland building, for the free garden primen and then get busy. Navy beans are one of the best late crops to plant on a light soil or on meadow or blue glass that is to be put under cultivation. Lima beans may be planted as late as June 15. Late potatoes may be planted up to July 1 if the seed bed is in good shape and the seed sound. Sweet potatoes can be grown with success on sandy land. Sweet corn of short season variety may be planted up to July 15 or even a little later. Late cabbage may be set as late as July 1. String beans may be planted as late as July 15. As late as July 11 cucumbers may be planted. Good tomato plants of the short season variety may be planted any time in June. Squashes and pumpkins may be planted in June among sweet or field corn or, if room, separately in hills about eight-tenths of a foot apart. Lettuce grows best if planted in early spring or fall. Late or winter radishes may be sown early in August. With proper watering, however, successive crops of good radishes may be grown throughout the summer. Table beets to be pickled, canned or stored for winter use may be planted in June. Let every garden soldier go to it for -food f. o, b. the kitchen door, then write for the canning primer and get instruction on how to conserve the result of your efforts. WAR LESSONS FOR U. S. Chief One to Learn Is to Place Competent Men In Leadership. patent men in Leadership. Cincinnati.—War lessons the United States can learn of Great Britain were explained by William Hard, investigator and magazine writer, before the joint sessions of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the National Machine Tool Builders association in convention here recently. The chief lesson, Mr. Hard said, would be to invest seamen with the control of the navy: No civilian, he said, should be intrusted with so important a duty. Affairs of the army and navy in action should be given into the hands of "competent" army and navy men, Mr. Hard said. SPEAKER'S SON WEARS KHAKI IN CONGRESS Washington. — Bennett Clark, son of the speaker of the house, received an ovation when he entered the chambers wearing a khaki uniform of the army. Young Clark entered training in the officers' reserve corps at Fort Myer and returned to the capitol when the "rookies" were excused from duty, Representative Mann, the minority leader, spied Mr. Clark in the corridor back of the house chamber. The Republican leader took the speaker's son by the arm and figuratively dragged him into the hall. He bowed confusedly as the entire membership of the house arose and applauded the student officer. $3,000,000,000 ISSUE OF LIBERTY BONDS TO BEAR FOUR PERCENT INTEREST Second Loan Campaign to Star October 1 McAdoo Announces and Bonds are Convertable Into Later Orders Paying Higher Interest Rates SMALLEST PURCHASE $50 Washington, Sept. 27—Secretary McAdoo tonight announced the details of the second Liberty loan, which will be offered to the public October 1. The chief features are: Amount, $3,000,000,000 or more, the excess not to exceed one-half of the amount of subscription. Term of bonds—Maturity twenty-five years; redeemable at the option of the Secretary of the Treasury in ten years. Denominations of bonds—$50 and multiples of $50. Interest rate—4 per cent, payable semi-annually on November 15 and May 15. Terms of payment—2 per cent on application, 18 per cent November 15, 40 per cent December 14, and 40 per cent January 15, 1918. CONVERTIBLE AT OPTION. The privilege of converting bonds of this issue into bonds of any succeeding issue bearing a higher interest rate than 4 per cent during the period of the war is extended, and through an arrangement under which bonds will be printed with only four coupons instead of fifty (to be exchanged at the end of two years for the bonds containing the full number of coupons) deliveries will be prompt. In this manner the issue of interim certificates will be avoided. CAMPAIGN STARTS MONDAY. "The campaign for the sale of these bonds will open Monday, October 1, and will close Saturday, October 27," Secretary McAdoo said. "I confidently hope that when the campaign is over it will be found that the total number of subscribers is at least 10,000,000 and that the total subscriptions is in excess of $5,000,000,000. "Such a response would be notice to our enemies that the American people, as a whole, intend to support with all their power their government in the vigorous prosecution of this war and the achievement of an early and lasting peace." GETS $68 A WEEK WASHING. Girl Gave Up Stenography to, Take In Clothes. Norristown, Pa.-Quitting her position as stenographer to go to the wash-tub, Miss Georgiana Cuthbert is making $08 a week, and she handles only five washes to do it, according to her testimony in the equity action in which she is defendant and Mrs. Marle Luson, her neighbor, plaintiff. Miss Cuthbert informed Judge Swartz that one family alone paid her $30, another $12, two $0 and a fifth $0 a week, She gets the business, she says, because she does not use bleach or acids in cleansing them. "None of the clothing I handle is soiled, only mussed," she said. Mrs. Marle Luson seeks to prevent Miss Cuthbert erecting a laundry in the rear of her lot in Ardmore, Pa. Mrs. Lusson says that a laundry there would be undesirable, unhealthy and in violation of building restrictions. In the testimony experts said a laundry would be unobjectionable; that there would be no dirt, no noise, no smell and, in fact, no reason why this woman should not be permitted to proceed with the laundry. PAY FARES AFTER 20 YEARS. Charity Finally Took $1 That Railway Official Refused to Accept Findlay, O. — Philosophers for centuries have attempted to analyze the conscience of the human race and what prompts it, but have been unsuccessful. That such a thing does really exist, Charles F. Smith, general manager of the Toledo, Bowling Green and Southern railway, can now testify. Recently he was sitting in his office when two men walked in and each threw a fifty cent piece on his desk, explaining that twenty years ago they had ridden from the north side to the Tangent depot without paying fare. That was because they were compelled to stand most of the way. During all this time their consciences, they said, had troubled them and they got no rest until they had returned the money with interest. Mr. Smith refused to take the money, but Dr. J. P. Baker, head of the Associated charities, who happened in Smith's office at the time, confiscated the money for that purpose. Scholars Read Original Poems. Westmont, N. J. — Eighteen grade pupils in the public schools read original poems during the afternoon session, creating considerable amusement and uncovering some latent literary talent. Recently each pupil in this grade was required to make a five minute address without manuscript. Defective Page 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's and Soldiers' Deputies were present on invitation. Practically all branches of the profession of the 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 went so far as to lynch some of their brothers. Chief of Militia Ralmikoff 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." At the end of the war 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 foodstuffs had taken the place of cotton. He had expected to find those broad acres filled with weeds and brars. 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 toil on her hands, and he knew that the faithful negroes had not done all the hard work. He brought his heels together in the military fashion and lifted his hand to the rim of his hat. "Mother," he said, not very steadily, "I salute you, the greatest soldier of us." SPRING DIET RIVALS ZEPPS. Substitute For Spinach Kills One, Injures Several. London.—England is badly in need of green spring foods, and all kinds of suggestions have been made, some of which have had disastrous results. One enterprising discoverer wrote to the newspapers the other day that rhubarb leaves, thoroughly bled, 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 cases are reported from all parts of the country. READJUSTS NOAH'S ABK. 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 menagerie on the ark 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 cuttees. HERO MINUS LEG AND ARM SAVES GIRL, WINS A BRIDE Maimed Expert 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. NEBRASKA'S CONVICTS MAY GO TO THE FRONT NEBRASKA'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-quarters 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." Food Grown Along Railroads. 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 proverbal 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. $2.40 PER YEAR. MINE FIELDS LAID. MINE FIELDS LAID. Entrances to Important Harbors Are Quickly Protected. COAST ARTILLERY IS READY. 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 was 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 officials 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 Fitzsimmons 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 Ain, 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 on duty in the roads. The net is about two miles long. Its efficiency was proved by the capture of the steamship Madison. No. 901-2 Court Block, 24 E. 4th st. J. Q. ADAMS, Manager.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1917. WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES. The new war savings certificates will bear 4 per cent interest, will run for a term of five years and will be issued in denominations as low as $5. They are to be just what their names indicate, "savings" certificates, a means of investment for small savings, so that the money will be safe and profitable and at the same time affording the government the use of it. It is planned to sell the certificates to the public on the installment plan by using stamps that may be purchased and pasted in a book for that purpose. When there are sufficient stamps to cover the cost of a certificate the book can be exchanged for one. The stamps will be placed on sale in every town and city in the country. The individual who has money laid by for a rainy day need have no hesitation in converting it into war savings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing interest at 4 per cent. Under this arrangement the investor in these certificates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency should arise in his family, such as sickness or death, he could immediately realize upon his certificates. It is a safe prediction that the war savings certificates will go like "hot cakes." Their small denomination, the good interest rate, the terms upon which they may be purchased, the fact that they are not subject to taxation when held by persons of small means—all will make them an attractive investment. Working people whose margin of income above expenses is narrow at best will find in them an excellent incentive for beginning the prudent habit of saving. They will be popular for Christmas presents. School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates. As a result many millions will be transferred to the Federal Treasury and through it will flow into the channels of trade, while the people of small means will be made to feel that they, too, are doing their share toward helping their country win the war. CONVERTING THE ESKIMO. Christian missionaries seem to have made little headway in converting the Eskimo in the far north, according to Donald B. MacMillan, head of the THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgmen the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. Crockerland expedition, who has recently returned to New York, after four years in the Arctic. Mr. McMillan was in daily contact with the Eskimos. He finds them lovable and easily managed. The members of the expedition trusted, implicitly the little colony of six families at Eta, base of the expedition, on the northeast shore of Greenland, and never suffered a loss by theft. Yet the same understanding of the Eskimo character has made Mr. McMillan skeptical as to the power of missionary work to better their social standards. "I don't believe the missionaries will be able to change the social customs of the Eskimos very greatly. They are a happy, care-free, jovial people. They are continually laughing. If they see a man in serious thought for more than a few minutes at a time they think something is wrong with him. And, really, they have all the necessary virtues right now. They love each other, they care for each other's welfare, and they protect each other. If one is hungry all are hungry. They have a perfect socialism. "And they are absolutely honest. Our supplies at Eta lay on the ground in plain view of every one in the settlement for four years, and no one ever touched them without permission. In New York after dark they wouldn't remain four minutes before being stolen. "Piblockto" is the word that expresses what the Eskimos think of the world at war, Mr. MacMillan said. It means "run amuck, gone clean crazy." The Eskimos believe that all the white man nations have gone "piblockto." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because Germany wanted to acquire more land, but they wouldn't believe it; they only shook their heads and said: 'No; that's impossible. There is plenty of land for everybody.' When we were getting ready to leave Eta they begged us to remain with them. 'Why go back there?'—meaning civilization—they asked us, 'where everyone is piblockto?' Stay here with us and be happy." THE APPEAL believes that the mis-stonaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "pibblecko," especially those from the United States, who are trying to impose the American brand of jimrow Christianity on them. If they have all of the necessary virtues right now, why waste time and money teaching them the murderous Christianity of America? --- The latest jimcrow idea is segregation in the galleries of the Capitol at Washington. It is almost unbelievable that such a condition could exist, yet reports from Washington say that American citizens who desire to listen to the deliberations of the law makers of a democracy are separated on the basis of color. In a recent speech ex-Senator Elihu Root said: "America's great opportunity was slipping away, but at the eleventh hour we grasped it and found opportunity to restore ourselves.

The first man to advocate the introduction of slaves from Africa in the new world was Bartholomew de las Casas, a Spanish priest, who was born in Seville, Spain, on Aug. 23, 1474, of African slavery in America" first in the Atlantic when, at the age of 19, he acquired his father with Columbus to the West Indies. On returning to Spain, he determined to fit himself for the mission of a missionary and to return to America with his slaves in preaching the gospel to the Indians and humanity to their oppressors." It was his tender regard for the mistreated natives that led him to suggest that African slaves be imported to labor in the Americas, thus relieve the Indians of a burden they were temporarily unfitted to bear. His suggestion was followed, and the African slave trade was inaugurated. His slaves Casas crossed the ocean to plead the cause of the dians at the foot of the Spanish throne. The town of Cumana, in Venezuela, still boasts of an old church in the father of slavery in America" present. Las Casas returned to Spain late in life and died in Madrid at the age of 92. A CORRECTION. To the Editor of THE APPEAL EALI I became interested in the article which appeared in your issue of the 15th September inst., because it was carried by a very attractive, and, to me, compelling headline, namely, "The Father of Slavery." But, I was doomed to disappointment, for I found that statements were but a reassertion, an unfounded charge against a man, whose power and greatness in the early history of the Western Hemisphere have compelled students of that science, after a lapse of cen- tury, to come more familiar with the details of life of such marvelous activity in the interest of progress and justice. You stated that Las Casas was the "first man to advocate the introduction of slaves from Africa into the new world," basing your opinion, Iume, on the assumption that it was the African slave trade that "the African slave trade was in America. Las Casas was not guilty of either of these charges. By royal mandate given Sept. 3, 1500, to Don Nicholas de Ovando, Governor of Hispaniola. Negro slaves were interdicted in the history, and the historian, Herena and Monserrat, assert that the number of Negro slaves was increased for years afterwards. In the year 1516, it was known that the Spanish monarch interdicted to his Flemish friends empowered to engage in the traffic of Negro slaves in India. It was not until 1517, years after the introduction of African slaves into America and the undoubted establishment of the slave trade, that Las Casas came on the scene with his enslavement emigration which has since served his enemies as a basis for their outrageous charge against him. in the interests of truth and fair play. I would ask you to find space for this correction in your columns, for this Cassas was specially designated as a priest, a designation which will help justify the effect of creating prejudice in the minds of colored people against the Catholic Church by the method, so generally in use, of circulating falsehoods, which may not be by design. S. L. THEOBEL. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 19, 1917. To the Editor of THE APPEAL Rev. Father Theobald's "correction" of a historical fact, published in THE APPEAL about Bishop Las Casses, was a "correction" that does not correct. No man can correct historic fact. It was Pope Alexander VI who gave permission to Cardinal Ximimes and Barteloma Las Casses and the Spanish Negro or African slavery introduce Negro—the New World. The Roman Catholic Church and not the Spanish civil authorities are therefore morally, in the introduction of the institution of the Western Hemisphere. And, as the race question is the immediate outgrowth of slavery, the Catholic church is morally responsible for the same. Facts are facts, and these facts are recorded in the archives of the Vatican Library at Rome. If Father J. Hacker means what he says, then he does not mean nearly 100 years old. See John Boyd Hacher's great work on "Christopher Columbus" in the St. Paul Public Lifecenter according to which Father Theobald Peal introduces PEAL very accurately correct. REV, J. M. BODY, A. B. A., M. M. D. DO NOT HAVE FAIR DEAL. Fight and Die for Country But Are Not Given Honor. (From the Christian Register, Boston.) The mutiny of colored soldiers, and their murderous procedure, is peculiar infortunate at the present time. It adds to the horrors hatred. Those who espouse the cause of colored people as against the unfair treatment they suffer by no means gives to any extinction of their wrongdoing. The punishment mitted by these soldiers should be brought home to these guilty of them. But it should be recognized, even here, a colored soldiers do not have a fair chance of being punished for their country and die for it, and they have done so creditably, but they are not given corresponding honor. If a soldier is not required, or at least is not given with white officers, it is possible that much provocation, if not justification, lies behind the insubordination which does not appear in the published report. PROTEST SENT TO PRESIDENT RACE OBJECTS TO THE PROPOSED SEGREGATION OF TROOPS IN TRAINING The newspaper and press dispatches throughout the country, saying the federal government intends to separate the names of white and Race soldiers, also the proposed idea of sending them south in "jim-crow" coaches of the vice president of representative colored citizens in this city to send to President Wilson the following telegram: Chicago, Ill. Chicago, Ill. The Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America. The White House, Washington, D. C. Sir. We have the honor to inform you that in view of the announcement in the press that the federal government had issued orders to the exemption boards of the country separating the white and black and white and sanctioning the policy of establishing segregated colored regiments, we hereby enter our most solemn and earnest protest against such a policy, on account of the violation, on account of race or color, between citizens offering their lives in this crisis for their country as being by the Corsican Act and as being mist, unconstitutional and unAmerican. We are further informed that the federal government has decided to adopt the policy of "jim crow cars" the colored soldiers, in transporting them to the battlefield, and this information is correct, we hereby test against the adoption of this policy by the federal government in the interest to transportation of colored soldiers, and we submit that it is unwise and against the letter of the interest to transportation of the spirit of American institutions, and which, if adopted, is bound to provoke increasing inter-racial resentment and conflict. In making this protest, we beg to inform the nation upon you that we, and the leaders of our country, consistently and earnestly urged our men to enlist and have advocated the highest degree of patriotism and loyalty to the flag on the part of people in this crisis. That this spirit of patriotism and loyalty to the flag on the part of people in this crisis is evidenced by the fact that the Eighth Illinois regiment, composed entirely of colored men, was the only Illinois regiment which was recruited by the volunteer enlistment when the Illinois troops were called into the federal service. We submit that the functions of our national government should be exercised in its dealings with all citizens without distinction based on race, regardless of national origin not recognized by the constitution. The call for soldiers to defend the flag in this crisis is addressed to all Americans citizens, and we insist that regiments be formed and training provided for all soldiers and sailors with national citizenship on race, if we are to realize the spirit of true democracy in its fullest sense. Trusting that, the federal government will see the wisdom of protecting national citizenship in promoting national unity and solidarity in this respect, we will work with assurances of the highest considerations, we have the honor to be.

COLORED TROOPS Baker Says They Will Be Trained in States Where Raised. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Baker of the war department has announced that colored troops drafted into the United States army will receive the same consideration and treatment heretofore given them under the rules of the army. Those colored troops drafted into the United States army their own will be trained in them, which means that the Illinois contingent of colored troops will train at Rockford. 'Units from other states will be assembled and trained with the troops as separate organizations, the same as is now done in the regular army. Will Be Called Separately "The rule of the regular army in the matter of the training of the colored troops as separate organizations will be adhered to," said Mr. Baker. "The call for colored men will be postponed until one of the latter calls, so that they will be called at a separate time, thereby giving an opportunity to the camps to assemble the organization and the parts substantially all at one time. They will not be called last, but they will be called separately. May Volunteer for France "All colored men called in a state which has a cantonment in it will be organized and train there. Provision will be made for the assembling of colored troops from those states which no cantonments. It has not yet been organized, and given to both white and colored men among the selected forces to volunteer for service and training in certain lines of communication organizations, it is necessary to form, and it is hoped that the volunteer for this military but non-combatant service, but there will be both combatant and noncombatant organizations, just as there are white volunteers.

(From the Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I can confidently congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today, questioning use of this important term. Why? Whatize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is the only use because our speakers and writers feel that Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. Negro is not only absurdly inaccurate in describing the actions of colored people, but it is also seriously injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, or anywhere in the world, for anything noble or important. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegalian. c. Its descriptives, "Negroism," "Negrofy" and its compounds, Negrohead, Negrofly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, and formally speaking or writing about the criminal or manual woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from the vertebrate and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation, millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the black people used in contentment in public places; it is disfranchisement him; and it is an excuse for lynching him.

H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Must Judge A Group by Its Beat. No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the best. We compare many persons who live in the town, and think they know the colored man, and who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the second race we should any that the second people better than the first. They know the relations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the other races, which others are oblivious of; they know possibilities only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who knew the colored race through the mass and know individual possibilities could know what demonstrated in growing numbers, demonstrated in growing numbers, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they charge ignorance on those whom they charge ignorance on those whom race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION* (From the Boston Times) (From the Boston Guardian) That we much rather be, and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Coates. Americans that has become more important than mistake; it is a feeling of avowed concern; it is a inferior inferiority. It is an utter impossibility for the two races to subscript to a common government, and, at the same time, each race works on the same basis. The theory "has been tried and seen in the past, failure; instead of making for mony and cordial good feeling between two races, it has increase race hatred and antagonism in leaps long since bound, have heeded too long the voice of hate and treachery leadership that wrong, that it only breeds race hatred and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow the followed "advice" faithfully and awarded "in terms of residence segregation and segregation, confiscation and loss of protection, anti-intermarriage—which is all of the blackest pieces of legislation, since that it leaves our women in the mercy of white brutes — separate our cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the evils resulting from "non-resistance" and "that be by our sense." That with the same degree of legislation with which our property is confiscated, with this same effort and legislation will our political and manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress of the will with the other races preside, therefore, can only be held by attrition. We must send our children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and preside one another. ABOVE, WHEN WE MUST WELCOME AND PLACE JUXTAPOSITION.

Of the Chicago District of the A. M. E. Church, Aftermath The Conference which was brought to a close in a blaze of glory last Sunday night was a record breaker in several respects.

The ministers' widows were given $50 each instead of $25 or $30. The "dollar money" reached the large sum of $1,000 instead of $300 to $400. Resolutions of thanks were extended to everybody who helped to make the Conference the grand success it was. The meeting Sunday night attracted the largest crowd that ever congregated at the church. The sermon at 7:30 was preached by Rev. B. U. Taylor, of Chicago.
