The National Equal Rights League in convention assembled at Mother A. M. E. Zion Church, New York City, issues the following address to the American People: Born on American soil, our ancestors here for centuries, we like the rest of you are Americans, and speak as true Americans. Having watered the American soil with our tears, enriched it with our blood, defended it in every war, never disloyal or untrue to its best interests, manifesting now common respect for our rights and for our conscience. In the hour of extremity, appeal to your conscience, sense of justice and fair play and demand that the many outrages and indignities cease and our race be accorded the same rights and privileges accorded all other Americans.

Despite progress we are still surrounded by an adverse sentiment which makes our lives a living hell. We are shut out by trades-unions, and refused work. We are rejected in business, in professional service and even in government. We are not allowed to work in the United States has gone so far as to have a jim-crow corner in its gallery. Neither the Churches of Christ nor the Courts of Law have overcome the color line. In our Southland it has long been the custom, when a Colored man is accused of crime to set aside the usual process of law and turn him over to the mob to be punished. We are not allowed to stage; outrages that would not be permitted in any other country on the globe. Make Democracy Safe for the World. The most discouraging feature is that the white pulpit is usually silent and the white press silent, if not siding with the mob.

T. Barnett says, "We are behooves the American people to make these possible. Not only should the "World be made aocracy should be made safe for the World." These inhuman outrages have been winked at by those in authority until they are no longer confined to the South, but are spreading through the entire country and are casting a blot upon American Civilization that cannot be beaten. At a time like this when our country is in war to uphold democracy and to prove that our government is the best on earth and as President Wilson said, we should "Establish in this country justice with heart in it and sympathy in it." It behooves the American people to make these outrages against the government, and to make sure safe for Democracy" but, "Democracy should be made safe for the World." East St. Louis Riot Worst in Civilized World. We denounce the East St. Louis horror as the most awful outrage that ever happened in the civilized world. We call upon the sentiment of the country to help us. We demand that the Federal Department of Justice investigate this outrage and prosecute the guilty parties to the full extent of The War—President Wilson and the Kaiser. The National Equal Rights League fact that the basic principles of the go freedom, have been applied with increase which make up seventh of our population, is the definition is a challenge of the patriotism of our fellow white Americans.

The National Equal Rights League congratulates the nation upon the fact that the basic principles of the government, human equality and human freedom, have been applied with increasing comprehensiveness to those races which make up seven-eighths of our population; and it declares that the increasing proportion of these principles from the other eight of the population is a challenge of the pathosism of our governmental administrators and of our fellow white Americans. Demands Made Upon President Wilson. The legalized killing which is called When national self-preservation is no equity can be.

Hence, in view of his own work call upon President Wilson to abolish thatocracy, race segregation of government clerks, and the institution which forbid peonage and distance millions of Americans their civil and political a federal crime; (c) To forbide segregation for travel in federal territory. The legalized killing which is called war always requires justification. When national self-preservation is not pleaded, only moral principles and equity can be. The entrance, therefore, of the U. S. A. offensively into the most terrible war in history and one in the other hemisphere, can be justified only by vouchsafing freedom and rights to all citizens of the United States, and by protecting the rights of those who have no control. Likewise all true patriots should lay aside hatred and discrimination against fellow Americans. Now comes the President of the United States and declares officially to the world that this government takes part in the European war to promote World Democracy and World Humanity. He tells the new army raised specifically to make the world more democratic for us. He calls for the world to be freed from brassification and the Revolutionary War for American Independence." Hence, in view of his own words and of this war, we do now call upon President Wilson to abolish that essential violation of democracy, race segregation of government clerks, and to recommend to Congress the enactment of laws; (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments of the Constitution which forbid peonage and distranchisement, thereby restoring to millions of Americans their civil and political rights; (b) To impose the Constitution which forbid segregation for race in interstate travel, or travel in federal territory.

In this world war, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and President Wilson of the U. S. A. have a similar opportunity and responsibility;—the former to grant democracy to all the people of his realm and thereby give the way for peace by negotiation, the latter to grant democracy to fifteen million loyal citizens denied it in the Republic over which he presides, and thereby gain added strength to secure peace by success in arms. Segregation in Army Not Democracy. Colored Americans demand only the common rights of mankind* which the lie also in the possession at home of the right to vote and to believe in democracy. We hold that to a clean hands, and that in this formation law compelling race distinction, the exertion of the right to vote and the cause of democracy, and is care.

Americans demand only that the "rights of free mankind" which this government proclaims possession at home of is our citizens subject to governmentalocracy. We hold that this nation should entail that in this formation of a new army, in the race distinction, the exclusion of colored America from the military, the denomination of democracy, and is causing fresh contempt of rights for all in all departments of the Colored Americans demand only that the "rights of free peoples and the common rights of mankind" which this government proclaims for Europe be also in the possession at home of all our citizens subject to risk or to abuse of their rights with the assistance of law, believe in democracy. We hold that this nation should enter the lists with clean hands, and that in this formation of a new army, in the absence of any law compelling race distinction, the exclusion of colored Americans from officer training schools, from camps and cantonments with the rest is a betrayal of the rights of all Americans. We demand equality of rights for all in all departments of the government. No Success Without Justice.

All patriotic Americans must be alarmed that with the country at war, American citizens are burned at the stake by mobs, are massacred because they work for a living, are beaten and assaulted. All should unite against the tyranny of mobs and of labor organizations. Until the right of trial for crime is secure, the country can not expect or deserve success in this war, or the favor and blessing of Almighty God. Large Force of Instructors Assembled at Fontainebleau. Special Facilities Offered. Paris—An American newspaper man who has been able to visit the artillery training school at Fontainebleau describes the preparation the French military authorities are making in view of the training of American officers. Whereas otherwise a very stiff examination is necessary to pass into the school, in the case of Americans special facilities will be made. Four months will be required to fit the latter for the grade of what is called here aspirant, which is the grade preceding second leutenant. Sixteen hundred American pupils are expected at Fontainebleau, and a special语文 of English speaking instructors has already been formed so new arrivals can start work with a scant knowledge of trigonometry, elementary physics and chemistry. The ordinary procedure is to be assigned to the department of artillery. At the depot the men are equipped with uniforms and everything necessary, then sent to Fontainebleau as soon as possible. Men anxious to avail themselves of this opportunity might even come to Europe on their own initiative, for they would be looked after by the American military attacke and the ministry of war and would only require a very limited outfit, consisting of changes of summer and winter underwear and riding boots; if possible, also sugar, chocolate and canned beef. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` undered by an adverse sentiment which we shut out by trades-unions, and rest, in professional service and even use of color.

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. One missive is from George Matthews, steward, who was supposed to have been a Baltimorean. The note is in lead penil and reads: Friends or whom it may concern: We are sinking in midocean, and the captain has deserved. There are ten left behind. Baltimore, where the ship 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. THE APPEAL ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1917 SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY. Trader Will Take Almost Anything In Lieu of It. Cottonwood Falls, Kan. — Robert Youngwood, a merchant in the little town of Thurman, a trading point in the southeastern part of this county, twenty miles from the nearest railroad point, has a habit of recalling pioneer days. If money is not forthcoming for merchandise secured at the store Youngwood is not backward in acquiring substitutes. Coyote scalp, gopher scales, eggs and crow heads are his favorite food. Coyote scalp is accepted as $1, a gopher at 5 cents and crow heads a cent aple. The county bounty on these pelts and the long distance from the county seat explain the unusual "money" acceptor. When Youngwood has a good supply on hand he mails or brings them to the office of the county clerk and is paid the legal bounty, the same value as he has already paid out to his friends. DID HIS BEST TO ENLIST. Patriotic Youth Placed Small Cotton Pad Under Each Heel. Albany, N. —Trying to boost his five feet three inches up to the standard required for military service, Willis Hartman, a patriotic youth from Glenwood, near here, a form of elevation that almost got by the United States marine recruiting officers. Wills went through without a flaw until he stripped to be examined for scars, when the doctor discovered several layers of adhesive plaster and a small cotton pad under each heel that gave a "French heel effect" to the would be warrior. When it was removed he lacked one inch of meeting the required height. "I don't want to be a slacker," so I tried to be a slacker," said Hartman when he was rejected. "The scheme would be all right, too," he added, "if I could only make it stick." REFUSE TO FIGHT. Adventists Declare Religion Bara Them From Battles. Washington.-Seventh Day Adventists have notified the war department that their religion will not allow them to participate in the war between the United States and Germany. A declaration adopted by the executive branch of the North American division conference sets forth that, although believing in the principles upon which this government is founded and acknowledging that it should receive the support of its citizens, the Adventists are "compelled to decline all participation in acts of war and military action, and to refuse the duties enjoined upon us by our Divine Master toward our enemies and toward all mankind." GIRL NOT LEFT BEHIND HIM. Soldier Said Goodby, but She, In Fighting Garb, Followed. Pittsburgh—Disguised as a soldier in the hope of being near her sweetheart, Marlon Nestor, eighteen, of Woodlawn, rode on the Eighteenth regiment troop train 150 miles before she was discovered. Weeping, she was placed aboard a lieutenant Ottman W. Freeborn of Company K, his suspicions excited by the appearance of one soldier, took off the suspect's hat. Long brown hair fell about the shoulders and face of a pretty but frightened girl. Miss Nestor said that when Stewart Walthour, nineteen of Woodlawn, was asked what she wanted to go too, but he bade her goodbye and left. She decided to follow. DR. FINLEY VISITS FRANCE He Carries Message to Schools of Stier Republic. Albany, N. Y.-The regents of the university of the state, with the approval of Governor Whitman, authorized the commissioner of education, John H. Finley, to make a brief visit to France for the purpose of seeing the schools and observing what they are doing for the nation in war time. The University of France was organized on much the same lines as the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Finley is permitted by President Wilson to carry his greetings to the schoolteachers and school children of France and is the bearer of many other messages to those who are doing their brave part back of the line. FARMERS FIRE ON BALLOON Appeal Made to Stop Practice, Which Imperial Army Aircraft. Omaha, Neb.-An appeal to farmers and others throughout this territory to refrain from shooting at balloons was issued by Captain H. J. B. McElgin of the balloon corps at Fort Omaha, who announced that such acts subject the perpetrators to severe penalties. Many balloons are being sent up from Fort Omaha every day for the purpose of shooting at the Captain McElgin said shooting at these balloons seemed to have become popular. Sees Hia First Show Blufton, Ind.-J. W. Wetrick came to this country from Germany thirty-five years ago, settling at Vera Cruz, a village east of here. In all of this time he never left his home town until recently, when, accompanied by a daughter, he visited relatives at Wolcott, Ind. On his way home he stopped at Fort Wayne and witnessed a show, the first of his life. He said he enjoyed his first ride on an interurban car and the "sights" on the short journey. $3,000,000,000 ISSUE OF LIBERTY BONDS TO BEAR FOUR PER CENT INTEREST Second Loan Campaign to Start October I McAdoo Announces and Bonds are Convertable Into Later Orders Paying Higher Interest Rates SMALLEST URCHASE $50 SMALLEST URCHASE $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 over 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.

The privilege of converting bonds of this issue into bonds of any suc- cess rate issue bearing any interest rate is cent during the period of the war is extended, and through an arrangement under which bonds will be printed with only four coupons, the number of coupons changed at the end of two years for the bonds containing the full number of coupons) deliveries will be prompt, and 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 deadline arrives, that the total number of subscribers is 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 successful execution of this war and the achievement of an early and lasting peace." "JOY RIDING" HANDCARS Lehigh Valley Installs Gasoline Driven Vehicles. New York. No longer will Glacio Garbadi, section hand on the Lehigh Valley railroad, or any of his fellows have to break their backs working a handcar ten miles down the track to replace a tie, drive home a spike or scrape toe out of a ditch. If Glacio taco is placed in things a place remote from his bunkhouse he will board a gasoline driven motorcar and speed to the scene of the endeavors at any gat he selects up to twenty-five miles an hour. The new vehicle will not be an automobile, although motor driven and gasoline fed. It will be like the old cars, except larger and gasoline driven. Each will be large enough to carry ten vehicles, which will be distributed along the line. When they are delivered they will be enough in addition to the 183 now in use, and the old handcars will be scrapped. PERFECT MIND AT HARVARD. Muensterberg Marked a Student 100 in Mental Tests. Cambridge, Mass.-Harvard has a perfect man mentality, Thomas J. Abernathy of Kennebunk, M. Abernathy, who is a senior, after submitting himself with 275 other Harvard undergraduates to the test evolved by the late Professor Hugo Muensterberg, reached a standing of 100 per cent. Abernathy's record became known when an article prepared by Professor Muensterberg two weeks before his death for the Harvard Illustrated became public. In making his tests the professor had jumbled five dark pink lines of letters hidden in a series of letters jumbled together. Another test was that of selecting names of cities and animals with disarranged letters. Then a series of words was given from which the name of some prominent American was to be taken. Five minutes was allotted for each test. HORSE HAS NO REVERSE. Animal Trained to Cavalry Can Go Only Bravely Forward. New York. "My horse - he used to be in the cavalry - my brave horse - he goes only one way - forward." So pleaded Tony Carosello, twenty-one, a driver, to Magistrate House in the Traffic court. Patrolman Lenehan accused Tony of refusing to back up his brave horse on Broadway. "Sometimes even cavalry retreat," said the magistrate. "One dollar fine." Defective Page FARMER FEED EXPERTS. A farmer who has devoted his life to the study of feeding generally has more success through his common sense methods than any other analysis can supply. If such a feeder could have on hand all of the ingredients (most by-products of cereal manufacture), which according to the market at the time would be more economical, he could, through his experience, be very successful in mixing his feeds. But the difficulty with the average man is to maintain an economical ration from the products of his own farm. He may be an expert, if he chooses to study out a new ration every time the market changes, but he generally prefers to let someone who makes a business of mixing feeds do it for him. To doubt the majority of users of milk feeds begin to buy it because of the forage and grain crops on the farm. If such a man will keep books he will find that as a usual thing the use of mixed stock feed is a more matter of arithmetic whether he could buy the ingredients cheaper than he could buy them in a so-called "balanced" ration. MUST TASTE GOOD. A dairy ratio is important in Improvement Services. It is palatable so that a cow will eat it. It must be bulky and coarse so as to avoid indigestion and sickness. It must contain a variety of foods so that the cow will not tire of it or get off her feed. It must contain enough real protein—all protein is not alike. It must contain the right amounts and kinds of mineral substances necessary to health, and milk secretion will be highly digestible. Many feeds are about fifty to sixty per cent digestible, and excreting so much waste matter is costly in that it uses up the energy of the food to do it. SUCCESSEFUL FEEDING It is most significant and important the best argument for mixed feeds when it is considered that a large number of the most prominent and skilled men in America have discarded their own mixed feeds and rations because they have found a satisfactory brand of feed which will make as much milk at less cost and no trouble and, above all, keeps cows in perfect health. Many agricultural schools and experiment stations use and have used them for the same reason. You can verify this by writing to any experimenter and they will give you the names of mixed brands which are best adapted to your purpose. FIVE POUNDS OF MILK ON ONE POUND OF GRAIN. C. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wisconsin, a progressive and practical dairy man, satisfied with his ration of home-grown milk. Although he mixed his ration with brains and it seemed to be theoretically correct, he thought he would try to his own mixture in comparison with his first class dairy feed. Much to his number he found that he could save about five lbs. of grain per cow per day and nearly 5 cents per cow. He figured his own grain at prices much below the wholesale market and bought his mixed feed at retail. Also when his ration was figured according to Armys or Energy method his mixed feed proved to be the right combination to make a balanced ration with his own farm roughage. EXPENSIVE PASTURE. When you stop to consider that an acre of pasture will feed a cow, but that that same acre will raise ten tons of silage during the time the cow is feeding on it, it would seem that a acre of pasture would be an expensive way to feed your stock. MORE FEED MORE MILK Cows of a decided dairy type will return the greatest profit when fed to their full capacity—Nebraska Experiment Station. [National Crop Improvement Service.] Ordinarily, silage will correct the tendency to costiveness. When it is not sufficiently effective for this purpose, add another old process oil meal to keep the dipping moderately soft, but not necessarily moist. All that is needed is to increase the allowance of concentrates. There are always two sides to every question. If the government insists on more bran in flour, bossy will have to turn to still more artificial bran. Wheat bran is a dear feed. Barley and rye by-products are more economical. Poverty holds a mortgage on the feeder who can see nothing but the price. Some feeds are as cheap at $50 as other at $25 per ton. When you buy hay for cows it usually costs more than grain by-products, although it costs half as much per ton. [National Crop Improvement Service.] It is a fair assumption that any farmer who talks against mixed feeds does not see a mixed feed ought to be. There is a danger of any man buying a fraudulent food. The state laws are very stringent on this point and if any man has any doubt as to the value of a feed, all he has to do is write his State Experiment Station and get the truth. If you have ought that's fit to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it wen. THE AVERAGE REFORMER. **Auburn Crop Improvement Service.** The average farmer having so little a sense to himself, plunges about like a bull in a china shop, regardless of the results of an amusing incident is told of the Secretary of Commerce. The can manufacturers put up a howl that unless they could get tin-plate to make up, no canning of fruits and vegetables could be done, so without looking over the field it is said that an order was made that steel was to be diverted by the manufacturers from other projects and put at the disposal of the can manufacturers. It looked all right on the face of it, but when the manufacturers of harrowing machinery demanded steel that there contracted for, and found that there had been diverted toAprons, it having been diverted to hurry-up call modifying the order was issued, so that our harvesting machines could be made in time for the growing crop. This illustrates how many plans are ignorantly made robbing Peter to pay Paul. Every enthusiast who has a pet reform which is always hitting some other business instead of his own, never looks around to see what the effect will be before he plunges. The machine need and the most successful feeder have a right to demand that the delicate machine—the dairy cow—shall not be wrecked by hasty legislation. Revolutionary reforms are seldom efficacious. Anything which disturbs the food equilibrium should be handled gradually. Experience has shown that the most efficient way to transform the products is to remove the human food and feed the residue to stock. Any other system is sheer extravagance. WRONG FEEDING METHODS There is an old story about a ship captain who had a medicine chest. A sailor was sick and he found that No. 47 in his book was the indicated remedy, but alas! the bottle of No. 47 was empty, so he took equal parts of No. 40, which was strychnine, and No. 7, which was carbolic acid, and added them together and made No. 47—and the sailor died. The application of this old story is that many a feeder will think that if a little of cottonseed or oilseed meal is good, a whole lot will be better. And, like the man who put the green spectacles on the horse and fed him shavings—just after he got him trained the horse died. It is human nature to experiment in feeds, and the poor cow has to suffer for an overdose or an underdose before the proper ration is established. DIFFICULT TO MIX FEEDS A More Scientific Result Can Be Produced By Machinery. [National Corp Improvement Services.] As no two lots run alike, it is very difficult to mix straight by-products of oats, barley, rye, corn, cotton-seed, flaxseed, etc., by measure, because it is purely guessing. Only a few years ago intentional fraud or unintentional carelessness was the rule. Before the fea waws were passed, each manufacturer adulterated all the trade would stand. Every car of feed sold to the consumer is not analyzed, and the farmer cannot become a feed expert because he has no laboratory. Not one car out of five hundred is inspected. In the old days country milkers were throwing feeds together with no knowledge of feed and were ruining valuable cows and making the farmer poorer. In those days the feed standards were not agreed upon nor compete; the animals didn't fit the tables; the digestive analysis method was incorrect; feed standards for animals were not agreed upon nor compete; the animals didn't fit the standards; the buyer didn't know what was in the feeds he bought to mix; and there was an unavoidable variation in the concentration of the feed. These conditions have been largely overcome through the joint action of the government and state experiment station and the mixed feed manufacturers who have every facility for manufacturing a custom product, using these scientifically prepared feeds, many a herd has doubled its production. The painters who can buy lead, oil and clayer and mix and match their own color uniformly but the best painters of today have learned that mill-made brands are much better than anything they can mix with a paddle. The same is true in fertilizers to a great extent. In mixed feeds there can be no economy in home mixing because the mixing factors, being near the large markets, can utilize the very best equipment. Home mixing cannot be accomplished at one-tenth of a cent per lb, besides the result is never twice alike and cannot be without the help of a laboratory. [National Scar Improvement Service] A practical test shows that eight tons of a first class dairy feed will replace 13-1.3 tons of farm grain, making a proportionate saving of about $20 per ton and it also puts three times as much fertilizer back on the farm as is in the grain this farmer could sell.

Washington. — Claims against the Mexican government from American citizens for loss of lives and property amount to $475,000,000, and those of foreign state department bring the total against the southern republic to more than $1,000,000,000. These claims have been pilling up for the last two years, and it is believed those now presented to the state department represent about all of the valid ones. As a more stable government is established in Mexico American citizens and foreign governments are pressing their demands for payment. The situation is one of the utmost concern, not only to the United States, responsible for our citizens for the settlement of their claims against Mexico for loss of oil property, mines and lives, but also those of foreigners. As to claims of foreign governments, the Photo by American Press Association. HENRY P. FLETCHER. United States has no legal concern, but inasmuch as it assumed control over the situation under the Monroe doctrine it will exert its diplomatic influence to see that these claims are paid. American and English capital to the amount of $1,500,000 is invested in Mexico, and in the last three years the revolutions have damaged the mines and oil wells, in addition to piling up claims for the loss of lives of foreigners. Mexico needs money badly not only to pay bank payment on these claims, but to re-establish her domestic affairs. The new ambassador from Mexico to this country, Ignacio Bonillas, fully explained the financial needs of his country to President Wilson, when he was received here recently. Since then this government has been considering advancing a loan to Mexico. A member of the administration expresses the opinion that Mexico will readily obtain a loan through the influence of this government as soon as investigations by Ambassador Fletcher of the administration will that a stable government exists. No other country will consider a loan to Mexico, and this government will not aid Mexico financially until a stronger government is set up. HE FEARED CONSCRIPTION. Worried Bridegroom Tries to Kill Wife and Himself. Middletown, N. Y.-Fearing he would be conscripted for war and that he would have to leave his seventeen-year-old bride, whom he married on Christmas day, Harry York, twenty four years old, shot his wife, Anna May, in the head and then fired two bullets into his own brain. Ever since it had been announced that men between twenty-one and thirty-two had been wounded, she has worried about leaving his bride. She was reading the questions to be answered by those registering for the conscription aloud to him when he suddenly pulled a revolver and without a word shot his wife and himself. Wolf Pack Rounded Up. Okmulgee, Okla. — Twenty-one gray wolves, the largest pack reported in Oklahoma in years, was rounded up recently twelve miles northeast of Beggs, Okla., by J. A. Scott and Boyce Green. There were two old wolves and nineteen partly grown pups in the pack. Dogs ran the pack to earth, and the wolves followed them before the hunters came up. The old wolves and several of the younger ones had to be killed before the hunters could take some of the pups alive. THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

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 judgment 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 missionaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblocko," especially those from the United States, who are trying to impose the American brand of jimcrow 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 Elijah Root said: "America's great opportunity was slipping away, but at the eleventh hour we grasped it and found opportunity to restore ourselves. Through it we shall find our national soul and I have faith in God's people, for they are the earth's democracies." The New York mayor's committee for National Defense will start a campaign this Fall for the Americanization of the foreign-speaking people of the city. The slogan is to be: "One city, one loyalty, one people." The melting pot must be made to melt," said committee members.

Want Lynching Made Federal Crime. The report on Military Race Discrimination and formal address to the country separate training, soldier training and cantonment provision were vigorously denounced based on race prejudice. Pres. Wilson noted as giving the United States "a new peasant war to be that of real democracy and in turn the League demanded in precise terms that Pres. Wilson abolish segregation of government clerks and commended to Congress enactment of (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments which forbid peacen and disfranchisement; (b) To make Lynching a federal crime; (c) To forbid interstate travel, or in federal territory. Many Delegates Present. Nearly 200 delegates were in attendance at the League meeting and at the Race Congress called by the League for deliberative purposes. Rev. M. Sydes, R.

Endorsement of a race pilgrimage to the League would employ a legislative agent at Congress to lay the grievances of the race before the federal authorities in December, and the raising of a fund to provide salary for a traveling organizer who should raise the means to employ a legislative agent at Congress to fight the battle for its rights, were outstanding features of the three days.

The first man to advocate the production of slaves from Africa into the new world was Bartholomew de Las Casas, a Spanish priest, who was born in Seville, Spain, on Aug. 23, 1474. The father of African slavery in the first crossed the Atlantic when, at the age of 16, he accompanied his father with Columbus in West Indies. On returning to Spain, he determined to fit himself for the duties of a missionary and to return to America, "there to spend his days in preaching the gospel to the Indians, at the age of 16 to oppressors." It was his tender regard for the treated natives that led him to suggest that African slaves be imported to labor in the fields and mines and thus relieve the Indians of a burden. He were temporarily unitted to bear His burden, and the African slave trade was insured. A dozen times Las Casas crossed the ocean to plead the cause of the Indians at the foot of the Spanish throne. The town of Cumana, in Venice, boasts of an old church in which "the African slave in America" preached. Las Casas died. Spain late in life and died in Madrid at the age of 92. A CORRECTION To the Editor OF THE APPEAL, which became interested in an article which appeared in the September inst, because it was carried by a very attractive, and to, me, compelling headline, namely, "The Father of Slavey." But, I was doomed to disappointment, for I found that your statements were substantially, of an unfounded charge, of whose power and greatness in the early history of the Western Hemisphere have compelled students of that science, after a lapse of centuries, to become more familiar with a life of such marvelous activity, 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 old world by bringing your opinion. I presume, on his suggestion that "the African slave trade was inaugurated" in America, Las Casas was not willing to be the minister of the Royal mandate given Sept. 3, 1516 to Don Nicholas de Ovando, Governor of Hispaniola, Negro slaves were introduced into Haiti, and the hispanicers, by royal mandate given Sept. 3, 1516 to Don Nicholas de Ovando, Governor of Hispaniola, Negro slaves were introduced into Haiti, and the hispanicers, assert that the number of Negro slaves was increased for years afterwards. In the year 1516, it was known that the Spanish monarch empowered them to engage in the traffic of Negro slaves for the Indies. It was not until 1517, years after the introduction of African slaves into the undoubted establishment of the slave trade, that Las Casas came on the scene with his plan of 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 Las Casas was specially designated as a "Spanish priest," a designation which will surely have the role of creating prejudice in the minds of chored people against the Catholic Church in the method, so generally in use, of creating falsehoods, whether or not by design. S. L. THEOBALD. St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 19, 1917. To the Editor of THE APPEAL. Rev. Father Theobald's "correctional" of the 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 Ximines and Barteloma Las Casses and the Spanish civil authorities to introduce Negro or African slavery into Hispanola—the New World. The Roman Catholic Church and not the Spanish civil authorities are therefore morally, inherently responsible for the introduction of the institution of slavery into the Western Hemisphere. And, as the race question is the immediate outgrowth of slavery, the Catholic Church is morally responsible for the same. The facts are facts, and these facts are recorded in the archives of the Vatican Library at Rome, Italy. If Father Theobald really means who he says, then he does not know history that is nearly 100 years old. See John Boyd Hacher's great work on Christopher Columbus in the St. Paul Public Library, according to which Father Theobald is very wrong and THE APPEAL very and accurately correct. REV. J. M. BODDY, A. B., A. M., M. D. To the Editor of the Appeal: When I undertook to correct the statements in your article relative to Las Casas and his alleged introduction of African slavery into the New World, I felt the interest of truth. Hence of importance the historical data in proof of my contention and in doing so made no attempt "to correct historic fact." I still rely on my proofs and contend that they are unassailable, and I will welcome repudiation of them. Boddy in refutation of him. His misrepresentation that my correction of THE APPEAL "does not correct" does not help him in his attempt to rescue THE APPEAL from the fatal error into which it has fallen. The question of fact, Mr. Boddy dodged the issue either because he feared to meet it squarely or would try to lure me from the point so as to palliate THE APPEAL'S discomfiture or to engage my attention in another quarter where he thought I should not be. However, mistaken his man, and I give the case to the reader, to decide whether, in my previous letter I proved that THE APPEAL was wrong, and whether Mr. Boddy has not signally failed to disprove my conspiracy, in denying the Spanish priest, was not the "first man to cate the introduction of slaves from Africa into the New World." And, please note that this is an entirely different question from the one Mr. Boddy has produced in his letter. The new issue is that Boddy is in his charge that the Catholic Church is morally responsible for the introduction of slavery and, consequently the race question in this country, for the slave question; gave permission for slaves to be devised into the New World. He says his authority is Hacher's Life of Columbus which is in the St. Paul Public Library. "Unfortunately for Mr. Boddy, I have no permission for Library; but, if he has a copy, I would ask him to extend me the courtesy of leaving it with THE APPEAL for me to look over. I have no hesitation, however, in denying Mr. Boddy's responsibility to debate it with him if he will formulate his argument and specify his sources. Furthermore, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I consider my contention against THE APPEAL in the answer, and until a better showing for an argument than Mr. Boddy's for forthcoming I can give no more of my time to that issue. With eagerness, I will present my statement on the question indicated in the preceding paragraph, for it will afford me the long-sought-for opportunity to defend The Church against those who fear失伤她.

PROTEST SENT TO PRESIDENT The newspaper and press dispatches throughout the country, saying the federal government intends to separate the names of white and Race solitary also the proposed idea of sending white students in Virginia as a cause of representation colored citizens in this city to send to President Wilson the following telegram: 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 federal government had issued orders to the boards of the country separating the names of white and colored soldiers and sanctioning the policy of establishing segregated colored regiments, he hereby enter our most solemn and urgent statement and any attempt to make any distinction, on account of race or color, between citizens offering their lives in this crisis for their country as being unauthorized by the Conscription Act and unconstitutional and un-American. We are further informed that the federal government has decided to adopt the policy of "jim crow cars" for the colored soldiers, in transportation of southern camps. If this information is not made public, 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 unjust and against the letter of that we have adopted the spirit of American institutions, and which, if adopted, is bound to provoke increasing interracial resentment and conflict. In making this protest, we beg to imitate the actions of that we, and the leaders of our group, consistently and earnestly urged our young 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 is evident in the 12,000,000 colored citizens of our country is evidenced by the fact that the Eighth Illinois regiment, composed entirely of colored men, was the only Illinois regiment which was recruited from the southern theater 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 in the situation based on race, religion or any other characteristic 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 military and sailors without regard to 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 and protecting in this present world conflict, and with assurances of the highest considerations, we have the honor to be.

(From the Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily 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 than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize 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 on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. 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 Senegal. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofly," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negrofly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly, in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is july 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, who formally speaking or writing about the man or woman of the race. For when his speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from the native 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. y truly yours, 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 Negro in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one in one percent of the colored people descent to Africa, and there is no more right to call all colored people Negroes than to call all white people Americans."—Ex-Assistant United States Commissioner. *General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass.* Must Judge A Group by its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston) www.cristianregister.com 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 best and think they know the colored race, 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 two who we should any that the second knew people better than the first. They know 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 obliged of; they know only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and know of their prejudices could know what individual possibilities are stated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to know on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the GOD GIVE God give us men!

Des Moines. During the month of July his left eye began to fail. Dr. Pearson, eye specialist in Des Moines, advised him to resign, but being ambitious to complete the three months, he refused.

His commission will continue in force at the pleasure of the President of the United States and for time being and for a period of five years from date.

BUCKNER'S FAMOUS Dixie Jubilee Concert Co. At Memorial Baptist Church For the third engagement at Memorial Baptist church, Buckner's Dixie Jubilee Concert Co. appeared last Monday evening before a capacity audience. The company is older than when it last delighted a St. Paul audience, but like good wine had improved by age. It has been said of this company that "it is the best company composed of colored artists in the world," and the people who heard them Monday night would, if asked, to a man, woman or child doubtless declare: "Them's my sentiments." And it is a fact that they gave a dollar show for twenty-five cents. The program began by a superb rendition of "Carmena Waltzes," by Wilson. Henry Eldridge, baritone, then sang "The Young Warrior"—Burleigh, and "Thank God for a Garden"—Del Reiko. Mrs. Neale Hawkins Buckner, soprano, sang as only she can, "Flower of the Alps"—Weakerlin; "Four Leaf Clover" and "Coming the rye" the Rye. Mr. Robert Moore, 1st tenor and comedian, gave some humorous selections, "Huckleberry Finn" from Mark Twain. Mr. W. C. Buckner, manager and basso, most magnificently rendered "Old Black Joe" and "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," and recited Punbar's "The Colored Soldier." Miss Cleo Dickerson, pianist, gave a polonaise from Chopin, Op. 63, and as an encore, Newland's Walz Cajun, Hickory Hill, will be a post-graduate course at Chicago Musical College at the close of this season. Mr. John Harrison, lyric tenor, sweetly sang "Greetings"—Hawley and "I hear You Call Me"—Marshall. Miss Helen Smallwood, contralto, enraptured the audience with "Good Bye"—Tosti and "I Soter Miss You."—Clay Smith. Miss Helen Sang the textezza from Lucia de Lamermoir, by Dozetti, and closed the first part of the program with "Babes in the Wood." Mr. Robert "Honey" Moore, tenor and humorist, gave a wonderful laugh provoking monologue, "Woman." The four male members quartet rendered "Love is a Sickness," "Woman," by Park, and a very pleasing imitation of a steam caloophe. The company felt delightful rendition of N. Clark Smith's "Steal Away." Of course there were a number of the jubilee songs and choruses that made the company famous, interspersed through the program. Taken all together there never has been a more delightful evening's entertainment furnished to a St. Paul audience. The company arrived last Saturday and left after a pleasant stay of four days as the guests of Mrs. T. E. Franklin, 486 St. Anthony avenue. Thursday morning for Barnesville, Minn., thence to Newdale, Canada. CITATION ON PETITION FOR DECREE OF DESCENT. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey, ss. In Probate Court.

Defective Page For the information of those who may wish to communicate by telephone with anyone engaged in military service at Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, Iowa, the Telephone Company announces that it has, with the approval of the Department, arranged to provide long distance telephone service for the public to and from the camp. How to reach anyone at the cantonment by telephone is outlined in the following statement: That the public may be able to reach Camp Dodge by telephone and that meant of rapid communication may be afforded by Government agencies that cantonment and training camps, supply depots, arsenals and military headquarters located elsewhere, the AMERICAN TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. LOCAL LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE BELL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES Bell Telephone System has installed a complete telephone exchange at Camp Dodge and linked it with points reached by telephone in other states. For the public to procure the most efficient telephone service to Camp Dodge, it will be advisable in making a call to ask for "Camp Dodge, at Des Moines, Iowa," giving the operator full information as to the rank of the person called and the company or battery and regiment to which he may be assigned. For example, if a telephone call is made for "Private John Smith, B'Company, 315th Infantry," or for "Lieutenant Frank Jones' C Battery, 302nd Artillery," the calling party will be given the least delay, as each man is identified by his rank, company or battery and regiment. It is suggested that this information be procured as soon as possible after the men reach camp, so that telephone calls may be made if desired. Each company or battery will be assigned certain barracks in the camp, in each of which a telephone will be located. Telephone operators at the cantonment, having information as to the company and regiment to which a man belongs, will be able to reach his barracks telephone promptly. During hours of drill or other military pursuits it is highly improbable that a man will be duties to answer or make telephone calls, but appointments may be made for them to call when at liberty.
