BIG MOVES NOT LOOKED FOR Short, Sharp Blows at Selected Points During Fine Speaks, With Occasional Airplane Raids To Be Order of Day for Winter. Paris.—Preparations for the fourth winter campaign on the western front are already in full swing. The summer campaign is over, and while both the English and French may be expected to make a few big drives, it is not anticipated that the beginning of winter, for military purposes, will see any radical alteration in the war map of France and Flanders. Millions of sweaters, socks, paper suits, rubber Wellington boots, head wraps, mufflers, gloves and mittens are beginning to flow out from factory and home to the French pollus and British Tommies, hundreds of thousands of whom are facing their fourth winter period-in the trenches. The comfort of the fighting man is so carefully studied now, after three years' experience, that nothing will be overlooked to make the coming harsh trial bearable. Practically all the way from Nieuport to Verdun the armies are in quarters totally different from those they occupied last winter; with the exception of one or two stretches — as around La Bassee and the Argonne—the French and British are stationed in captured German lines. Throughout the spring and summer the men have shown little inclination to dig, feeling that in view of the possibility of a further move forward, just enough shelter was good enough for the time being. Turning over earth has never appealed to any infantry in this war, but necessity is likely to force them to do a lot of it in order to provide themselves with snug and well-drained trenches for the winter. Little Change In Line. Until next spring the western line is not likely to vary to any great extent, unless the totally unexpected happens. High winds, morning and evening mists, snow furries and rain will limit the usefulness of the airplane and diminish the enormous help it gives nowadays in every big offensive. The machines are capable of performing wonders in any weather short of a hurricane, and there will be plenty of aerial activity, especially bombing raids, right through the worst months; but poor visibility will make co-operation with the gun batteries difficult, the more so as the Germans' latest type of "Arce bald," or anti-aircraft gun, enforces respect and compels pilots to fly high. In these circumstances big sweeping moves are not looked for, but rather a repetition on a more intensive scale of last winter's tactics. Short, sharp blows at selected points during fine spells, a continual battering on wide fronts by concentrated gun fire, gathering out to close-up rest stations, hundreds of airplanes swarming out to attack encampments, aviation sheds, munition dumps and lines of communication—these will be the regular order of the day throughout the winter. The enemy will be kept on the jump all the time, great gaps will be torn in his dwindling reserves and every possible step taken, first to prevent his ever again assuming the initiative upon the western front, and, secondly, to weaken him irreparably for the final knockout blow in 1918. The part the American contingents will play in the winter's activity is the closest of all military secrets at this time. There is nothing that Hindenburg is burning to know so much as just what Pershing's plans are, and there is nothing that Pershing is more bent upon doing than keeping the slightest hint from Hindenburg. **Prudence the Motto.** But while no light can be shed at this stage upon the plans of the American commander in chief. I am able to give this assurance, that prudence is U-BOATS NOW EMPLOY SMOKE SCREEN DEVICE New York.—New German devices for aiding U-boat frightfulness are reported by passengers on an American liner just arrived in port from England. One is the use of a smoke screen in which the submarine may conceal itself while attacking, escaping or submerging. The smoke screen has been used for months by battleships, destroyers and merchantmen. Its first use by a submarine was reported in the warnings of a U-boat off the Atlantic const. The other device is the use of mirrored periscope. By coating them with silver the periscope reflect the surrounding water and become invisible a couple of hundred yards away. It is believed this explains why survivors of several ships lately sunk saw no evidence of a submarine before or after the attack his motto, that he will never consult to play to the gallery as even the best generals are sometimes tempted to do. It is Haig's great merit that he bides his time and only strikes when he is able to strike in real earnest. Pershing resembles the British leader in this respect, and Europe has had enough war experience to know that these are the men who get the real results at the least possible cost in lives, and that though they have little to show on the war map, they are steadily, persistently, relentlessly wearing down the toughest foe that ever took the field. What can be said, however, without giving any information to the enemy is that here in France Americans will co-operate throughout the winter in the gigantic task of preparing for the death blow. The details cannot be discussed, but the ground has been cleared for a colossal amount of work, embracing all branches that go to make for the efficient operation of a modern war machine, and a big share will be taken over during the bad weather by Americans, not only in the United States, but also in France. And this quite aside from the training of the fighting men and the education of the officers in the latest phases of warfare. The result of all this activity will be that next spring the entente allies will possess a supermenal war machine, gunned, manned and equipped in an unprecedentedly complete and magnificent manner. It was correct to say last winter that in 1917 the entente allies would develop a striking force which could not be exceeded in 1918 if the war continued. But at that time the intervention of the United States was only a dim possibility; the revolution in Russia and the collapse of her army were foreseen by nobody. Tough Problem for Enemy. As the situation stands at present, with the United States adding her mighty power to the common lot, and with a still unextinguished hope that the Muscovites may be brought back to their old aggressive fighting, men belonging to the inner circles of Europe affirm their belief that the entente allies will be able to confront Hindenburg with a far harsher problem in 1918 than they could have hoped to put up to him in 1917. Next spring the British army will still be at top strength, for in the past summer Halg has put forth nothing like his maximum effort, and in consequence has suffered losses far below the figures anticipated at the British war office. When it was seen that the Russian army must drop out of all offensive plans this summer and that Germany would be able to develop an unexpected strength upon the western front, the Franco-British policy naturally became more conservative. The building up of the American armies has confirmed the wisdom of this course, which looks to the accumulation of an irresistible power before the last continuous, annihilating blows are delivered upon all possible fronts. "TRUST US." SAY BRITISH War Does Not Make Englishmen Understand American Colloquialisms Any Better Than Before. Washington.—Evidently the war has not made the English understand American colloquialisms any better than heretofore—or some particular Englishmen are merely lacking a sense of humor. anyway, official Washington is smiling an official smile (which is the diplomatic way of concealing undue mirth) over a little incident that occurred in Hampton Roads the other day, when Secretary Baker was on an inspection trip. He crossed from one camp to another when a British cruiser, lying near by, signaled: "Who is that going ashore flying an official flag?" "The secretary of war," was the answer. "Thank you," said the Britisher. "Don't mention it," replied our courteous bluejackets. That ended it until one of our sailors saw the British wig-wagging furiously. He read the signal. "Trust us," the British were saying, "we'll never mention it to a soul." GUILTY FLEE, NONE PURSUE Two Abandon Auto and Whisky in South Dakota When Conscience Stricken. Sloux Falls, S. D. A combination of guilty conscience and booze resulted in the Lincoln county authorities capturing an automobile which had been abandoned by the owner. In the automobile was found a quantity of liquor, which the driver of the car had smuggled into South Dakota, in violation of the state-wide prohibition law. Worth Feldman was trying out a new motorcycle behind the automobile. The occupants mistook him for an officer, stopped the car and fled. The machine bearing an Iowa license number was confiscated. GERMAN TOYMAKERS LONELY Send Notes With Wares Asking Buyers to Write—Found by Teachers. Virginia, Minn.—Love notes are being found by Virginia kindergarten teachers in toys made in Pittsburgh factories. The toymakers give their names and addresses and implore "some friendly person" to write. None of the teachers here has confessed that she has responded. Most of the names signed to the notes are German and the writers apparently feel a social isolation where they live. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY: OCTOBER 13, 1917 NEW DEVICES CUT TOLL OF U-BOATS NEW DEVICES CUT TOLL OF U-BOATS Admiral Benson Tells of Methods Adopted to Foil Submarines. Smoke Bombs and Smoke Screens Are Proving Effective—Camouflage Employed to Surprising Extent. Washington.—An encouraging account of the success of the devices being used by American ships as a means of escaping or destroying German submarines is given by Admiral Benson, chief of operations of the navy. Several of the methods under trial at present, one of them the invention of Thomas A. Edison, the admiral regarded as inadvisable to describe, but he discussed without reserve the devices in general use on merchant ships and naval vessels. It was admitted that the naval convoy furnished the most effective safeguard against the submarine. Admiral Benson thought that the number off convoyed ships sunk was even less than the average up to a month ago, when it was estimated that only one half of 1 per cent fell victim to the submarine. The impossibility of convoying more than a small per cent of the merchant fleet leaving American shores, however, has made necessary the adoption of other protective measures. Devices Employed. Among those most in use on merchant ships, the admiral said, were "smoke bombs" and smoke screens. Camouflage also is being employed to a surprising extent, but particularly on naval vessels. The smoke bombs are merely containers filled with chemicals which when cast overboard throw off a dense black smoke, obscuring the ship from an attacking submarine. A great variety of experiments in camouflage have been tried on naval vessels. They have been painted every hue of the rainbow that might tend to merge the ship in its background and make it indistinguishable to investigating periscopes. Admiral Benson said many of these devices had been demonstrated to be of great merit. Warships, too, are equipped with detectors which indicate the proximity of other ships. More and more of the merchant ships, of course, are being armed so as to be able to give a good account of themselves in encounters with the U-boats, and experiments constantly are going on in the navy to improve the weapons of offense employed against the submarine. A special endeavor is being made to perfect the operation of depth charges so that it may be possible more frequently to "pot" the U-boats as they submerge or as they run along with only their periscopes showing. Balloons are employed on the ships for observation purposes, but their use is not at all new. It was said today, in contradiction of a recent interesting story, that no invention had been perfected in the United States navy which would enable an attacked ship to deflect the course of a torpedo once it was fired. This report, according to Admiral Benson, had no foundation whatever. Bigger Submarines. Another report which has been making the rounds is that German submarines recently have been making it a practice of sparing all passenger ships they encounter. The only basis for this belief, it was said, is the fact that fewer passenger ships have been sunk. They have been attacked, however, but in most cases have escaped. There have been no German submarines near the American coast since this nation entered the war, so far as the navy department has learned. A submarine has been sighted nearly in mid-Atlantic, but that is the nearest approach one is known to have made. The navy department has evidence that Germany is increasing the size of her submarines nearly to the proportion of small cruisers. This evidence was obtained by ocular observation, in part, and also from the fact that the submarines now are mounting guns of nearly six inches in bore. Fragments of shells falling on merchant ships have disclosed the size of the guns.

He heads the list—but it is arranged alphabetically. --- Kansas City — It is a rather extraordinary fact that in some parts of the Southwest wheat is fed to bees, being cheaper than corn —which is $2.05 a bushel, and scarce at that. This tice is not general, however, as there is a sentiment against using wheat for such purposes.

BIG PAY FOR STEEL WORKERS Some Workmen in the Industry Draw as High as $800 a Month. Youngstown.—Higher wages than ever known before in the steel industry are being paid workers in local steel mills. Some workmen make as much as $800 monthly. This is due to the sliding scale of wages, based on the selling prices of steel, for sheet and tin plate workmen under the Amalgamated association ruling. Tremendous profits followed in the wake of the declaration of the European war. The highest wages go to the "rollers." Heaters, roughers and other workmen receive correspondingly high wages. It is not uncommon for laborers to get from $12 to $15 a day. In some cases, from $5 to $6 daily is made by unskilled workmen after a few weeks' experience. TRY TO LIVE ON $5 A WEEK Two Sisters Collapse After Attempt to Exist on Earnings of Third. Brooklyn.—After an attempt of three sisters to live on $5 a week in Brooklyn, N. Y., two of them collapsed from starvation and their case was brought to the attention of the authorities. Edna, Anna and Eleanor Williams were the devoted sisters who made the attempt. The trio went to Brooklyn after their parents died two months ago, Edna was ill and Anna remained at home to care for her. Eleanor worked in a store, earning $7 a week. Of this amount $2 went for rent and $5 was all there was left for living expenses. GERMAN CHANCELLOR'S SON A FARM LABORER Berlin.—Willy Michaels, the youngest son of the new German chancellor, is working as a common laborer on a large farm in Langmell, near Gruenberg, in Silesia. The young man is a student of one of the Berlin high schools. When the summer vacation began in July he offered his services for the harvest with thousands of other pupils, and was sent to Silesia, where he works hard every day from four o'clock in the morning until eight o'clock at night. After the harvest he will, of course, return to school. Passengers Brave Sea's Perilia. An Atlantic Port.—An American passenger steamer in the coastwise service went around in a shoal off the New England coast, but was floated, apparently uninjured, after eight hours. The passengers and crew remained on board. U. S. Needs Sterographers. Washington.—The government is in urgent need of stenographers and typewriters. This fact is made known in a circular letter sent by Dr. A. Howard Shaw of the woman's committee of the council of national defense to the chairmen of the state divisions. Requisitions Space on All Vessels. Paris.—President Poincare at a cabinet meeting signed a decree providing for the requisitioning of cargo accommodations on all vessels—French allied and neutral—for the service of the government.

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 mis stonaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblocko," especially those from the United States who are trying to impose the American brand of jimcor Christianity or them. If they have all of the necessities 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. 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.

Holds Well Attended Meeting in New York City. New York, N. Y.—Vigorous protest against undemocratic treatment of colored American citizens in the land of their birth by the national government against the peace and in military arrangements adopted by the National Equal Rights League at its 10th annual meeting in this city. Want Lynching Made Federal Crime. In the report on Military Race Discrimination and in the formal address to the Congress, officer training, soldier training and canvassing provision were vigorously denounced as based on race prejudice. Pres. Wilson was quoted as giving the European War to be that of real enemies and in turn the League demanded in precise terms that Pres. Wilson abolish segregation of government clerks and recommended to Congress enactment (a) To enforce the 14th and 15th Amendments which forbid peonage and disfranchisement; (b) To make Lynching a federal crime; (c) To forlaw interstate travel, or in federal ferry. Many Delegates Present Nearly 200 delegates were in attendance at the League meeting and at the Race Congress called by the League. F. Sydes, R. I., was elected president; Rev. J. W. Brown of Mother Zion and Rev. J. W. Hill, vice-presidents; Rev. D. W. Smith, secretary; Rev. W. S. Smith of N. W. J. C. Ford of Mich., Sergent at Arm;s; Rev. Sydes, Rev. Hill, Mr. Ford, Hon. B. Allen of N. Y., Mrs. B. W. Barron of Ark., and Mrs. M. T. Jones of Ark. were elected and accepted by the League as delegates to the National Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., in December, and to the National capitol in the Liberty Congress to lay the grievances of the race before the federal authorities in December, and the raising of a fund to the National Liberty Congress to organize who should raise the means whereby to employ a legislative agent at Congress and organize the race to the national capitol for its rights, were outstanding features. Great Mass Meetings Held Delegates were present from as far south as No. Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas, as far west as California.

Having watered the American soil, our tears, enriched it with our blood, defended it in every war, never dislay to its best interests, manifesting now common interest with all-true Americans, honor and glory, we, in our hour of extremity, appeal to your conscience, 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.

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 intervene this outrage and prosecute the guilty parties to the full extent of the law. The War—President Wilson and the Kaiser. The National Equal Rights League fact that the basic principles of the gov't freedom, have been applied with increased force, has led to a growing withdrawal of these principles 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 institution is a challenge of the patriotism of our governmental administrators and of our fellow white Americans.

Hence, war, we do now call upon President, for democracy, race segregation of the United States, and the institutions of the Constitution which forbids by restoring to millions of Americans, make lynching a federal crime. (c) The state travel, or travel in federal territ 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 justifiably unbushsafing freedom and equality of rights to all citizens of the United States, and the equality of race or color over which they have no control. Likewise all true patrons 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 as all members of the new army for Democracy, that this war "draws us all closer together in human bravery and in our support 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 Amendment of the Constitution which forbid peonage and disfranchisement, thereafter; (b) To make lynching a criminal offense and segregation for race in interstate travel, or travel in federal (territory). Opportunity for President and Kaiser. In this world war, Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and President Wilson of the United States were the former to grant democracy to all the people of his realm and thereby pay for peace by negotiation, the latter to grant democracy to fifteen million loyal subjects and the former to presides, and thereby gain added strength to secure peace by success, arm.

COLORED DIVISION Of Soldiers in the New National Army Washington, D. C. The colored division will be distributed for training throughout all sixteen national army cantonments. It will not be assembled as a division until the eve of its departure for France. Only Colored to Labor. Army orders today authorized immediate organization of 24 labor companies "by voluntary enrollment of conscripted colored men after their enlistment, they will not be obtained in this way, by voluntary enlistment of colored men—no white men to be enlisted in labor companies. Each company will have four white officers—a captain, two first lieutenants and a second lieutenant—and 200 enlisted men. Negro non-commissaries of the military will be obtained by transferring qualified men from the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry of the regular army. Chicago, Illinois. The Eighth Regiment of colored soldiers, the only national guard unit left in Chicago, will be sent to depart Friday for Camp Logan, Houston, Texas, where they will join the other regiments of the state guard in the Illinois division. And a happier gathering of men never assembled than were these men today, all rejoicing in the order reinforced by Colonel Franklin Denison last evening. "The boys simply can't wait to get started," Colonel Denison said. "They are all smiles now and we'll be ready at dawn tomorrow." The soldiers were given leave of absence today to scatter over the city and say good-bye to their own and the team. Lack of equipment, especially winter clothing, has disappointed Colonel Denison, and he said today that not one man in the entire regiment is fully equipped in that way. He said they expect to receive clothing soon after they reach Camp Logan. The companies today turned on their equipment every Loan and movement to raise the $100,000 after the men reach Houston. Four hundred of the soldiers, led by a band, were to invade the loop today in search of recruits. The regiment is to the original authorized strength of 2,002, but an order to try to get the regiment to the loop is delivered by a colonel a week ago. Twenty-one recruits were obtained last night. ```markdown ``` bounded by an adverse sentiment which are shut out by trades-unions, and reness, in professional service and even cause of color.

(From the New York News.) We trust that all of the advocates—learned and otherwise, white and black, North and South—of the use of the word "Negro" as a race term of the word "Negro" as a race term of the use at Houston, Texas, in quest of the Twenty-fourth Infantry men themselves, the authorities decided to refer to them henceforth as "colored" soldiers. They had been deeded and magged and goaded by the force of the ordeal or forebearance ceased to be one of their virtues. They had been contemptuously and constantly referred to in the daily press not as American solder, Americans, nor as "Uclem Sams Boy" or "Uclem Sams Boy" terms. They had been designated and debased in the public mind there—these brave, manly defenders of the American flag—"Negroes." Perceiving this evil practice and influence appealed to the authorities to use the word "colored" instead. With the word "colored," troopers or soldiers would have to be used. A kindlier feeling between the soldiers and the men would inevitably result. They were properly, but they were too late. Had the practice obtained prior to their coming in Houston, a different state of affairs might have ensued. We ask what effect this would have on the users of the word "Negro" to ponder this situation slowly. The troopers and their officers for the change should be a striking example to all Doubting Thomases as to just how hard, hard, hard, everyday life. Whatever the argument about making it respectable in the future, it decreases respect for the race today. It does no good today. It does no good that reason, then, for its use, you are to be called a "Nigger!" Are you please to have a word or mother called a "Negress?" Then discontinue using "Negro." If you think it worth while, you should be accorded to as a man and the folk as personist on the use of the word "colored." --- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cover The human race has test.

(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 than the use of this unfortunate term. Why, in thatize 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 the people of color are particularly Do Bois and Washington feel repetition, a nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of 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 historical works of the past have been gambian only. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambian only. c. Its adjectives, "Negroism," "Negroy," 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, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he openly worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used racial terms (names), "Nigro" and "Nigerer." g. As stated by an eminent Jap anese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thunderstorms and co-operation of the millions of coloured Africans Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very 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. In the cause of the segregation of the Negro people in public places; it is an excuse disfranchisement him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one in the per cent of the colored people in the United States descent to Africa, and there is no more right to call all colored Negroes than to call all white people. I am Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. Most Judge A Group by Its Best. 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 south, and think they know the colored world, 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 two who should say that the second knew the first better than the first. They know aspirations 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, 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 knew the colored race through the mass and by individual possibilities could know individual possibilities strated 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 would charge ignorance of race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men!

(From the Boston Guardian) That we much rather believe and associate among ourselves, is a saying by Colored Americans that has become almost true. That is a mistake, it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and an utter impossibility for the two races to scribe to a common government, and, at the same time, each race works on its own salvation. The "theory" has tried and resulted into a gass, failure, and the false and treachous leadership 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 and be defeated. The worst pieces failfully and have been rewarded in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is the greatest piece of defenseless and the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, filmcrow cara, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These issues, since the lack of non-resistance and the rather of self-selves." That with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and terrible legislation from the manhood rights be taken from us. That is a fact. Every congress of fers legislation degrading and infant care to our well being. Race prejudice and consequently become accustomed to by attrition. We must children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to by attrition. WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. (Gerald Stanley Lee in Mount Tom). I am a human being. I do not propose to be cooped up or shut in in my criticism to mere geographical stream of the earth. I am a planet. This planet is small enough as it is, when one considers the height and depth—the starry height and depth—of the human spirit that Warner and Shakespeare, Tolstot and Moller! Though the cathedrals quarrel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish each other's naves, each other's naves, I take as by the great bells ringing in their towers, by the souls of their poets overriding the years, by the prayers of their heroes, artists inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are all alike. I will not say of any of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. Agreed to Be "Set Aalde." (From the Eagle, Washington, D. C.) No, the colored delegates to the M. E. General Conference, held at Saratoga, did not record "walk out." They also arranged arrangements to be "set aside"—to be segregated into a colored general conference, to be presided over by a co-sponsor, being denied the privilege of directing the M. E. Church, the Master's vineyard. Two years from now the two wings of the M. E. church. North and South, will unite and the separation of the colored delegates to the $50,000 of bishopic honors to the $50,000 of colorful communicants are designed to clear the way for the approaching "love fear." There is verity in the assertion that, the church is a social manifestation, with religion as a by-product.

It is doubtful whether our people fully realize and appreciate the many difficulties and burdens under which the colored business man labores. He is the first one to be approached for church contributions regardless of where his membership may be; he is the first one to be vertising for entertainment programs; he is the first one thought of when tickets are to be sold for entertainments; he is the first one that is approached in the selling of tickets for church and other organizations, dinners, etc. In fact, in all cases where it requires the raising of funds in the colored business man is the first to be solicited and is never overlooked. When you are in need of recommendation for a position the colored business man is the one who gives it; when you are seeking a position he is the first man called on to assist you; when you are in trouble he is the first one you look to for aid. The colored business man ever will give aid regardless of what demands may be put upon him. The colored business man to a certain extent must look to you for the success of his business. If you patronize him as you are expected to by the other races you will do your full work as he always receives his share of the business. The color business man if he is successful he provides business employment for your children. You expect it of him. The colored people of St. Paul are indeed fortunate in the high standard of integrity of her men in business. Our physicians and dentists are skillful in their line; our attorneys are men of ability, learned in their profession and trained in legal circles; our merchants carry fresh lines of merchandise with prevalent prices; THE APEAL is as well equipped to do your printing as any other printing office; our real estate dealer is as well equipped to sell your property or to purchase property for you as any other office in the city; our insurance agent can write your insurance at the office of any other insurance companies as any other insurance agency in the city.

(10-6-17) YOU CAN NOT REACH YOUR PATRONS AND FRIENDS IN ALL PARTS OF THE CITY AND COUNTRY UNLESS YOU USE THE Northwestern Telephone 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 War Department, arranged to provide long distance telegrams 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 means of rapid communication may be provided for the Government between that cantonment and training camps, supply depots, arsenals and military headquarters located elsewhere, the AMERICAN TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. LOCAL LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE 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 element 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 able to get the person wanted with the least effort, as each man is identified by his rank, company or battery segment. It is suggested that this information be provided 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 to certain barracks in the camp, in each of which a telephone will be located. Telephone operators will be assigned to the company as to the company and regiment to which a man belongs, will be able to reach his barracks telephone promptly.
