Predicted That Within Few Years Tiera Tiers of the Land Will Be Counting of the Fish Crop Just as Now They Count on Wheat, Corn and Other Products. Washington.—In a communication to the house of representatives asking for a new building for the bureau of fisheries Secretary Redfield of the department of commerce makes several interesting suggestions, and one of them is that within a few years farmers will be counting on their fish crop, just as now they count on wheat, corn and the other regular products of agriculture. The idea of planting and harvesting sunfish, perch, fresh water mackerel, shad, eels and carp is probably a strange one to the average city man, who has little practical knowledge of farming, but Secretary Red- Photo by American Press Association. SECRETARY REDFIELD. field's communication to congress shows that serious thought has been given to the idea. It is also possible that with the great weight in congress attached to the magic word "farmer," the members will give the fish commission a new building with more alacrity. The free seed legislation always meets unanimous approval. Perhaps in some future congress along with the packages of turpil seed and corn there will be sent out under congressional franks letters something like this: "My Esteemed Constituent—I am sending you under separate cover a choice collection of fish eggs, including the roe of the shad, the perch, the dace, the chub and the dogfish. Plant these in your fish ponds, where I hope they will be to large and luscious fishes." Secretary Redfield has been a consistent booster for the bureau of fisheries since he took office in the department of commerce, and under his administration the country has received several valuable suggestions as to the edibility of fish little known hitherto. The subject of fish for farms he says to congress: "Nothing has been done toward the improvement of the races of fishes in respect to size, vigor, rapidity of growth and edible qualities. It is certain that the culture of fish in ponds on farms will assume importance within the next at his command, and the farmers should hold obtainable and information in regard to its handling and improvement at least equal in reliability to that which he can obtain respecting poultry." FISTS TESTED RECRUITS. Riley Made Sure Men He Recommended Were Fighters. Chicago—Tom Riley_of West Fifth street was told at the recruiting station that he was too old to fight, although he begged for an opportunity to enlist. "I guess I'm too old to fight," he said, a twisted his grunt and bony hands, "but maybe I can send you likely lads. Whin they come in, cup, and tell ye ther're f'm Tom Riley, take me wor-d're they'll be all right." That was one day recently. Since then more than twenty-five huskies have come in, saying they were "recruited" by Tom Riley. Barring black eyes and bruised faces, they were ideal for a really able gain at the station and was informed that all of his recruits had been accepted. Shave Renew His Youth. Bridgeville, Del. - Shaved for the first time in fifty years, Daniel F. Long, who lives outside of Bridgeville, is expecting to become a regular village "cutup." Long is about eighty years old and has not been shaved since he was thirty years old. Long has never visited a large city, never saw a circus, never was on a railroad track, never saw a moving picture show. He expects a "movie" and plans to visit Philadelphia on the next excursion. FARMER FEED EXPERTS. A farmer has invaded his lifetime to the stage of feeding generally has more success through his common sense methods than any 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. No doubt the majority of users of unused feeds begin to buy it because of a shortage of forage and grain crops in the farm. If such a farmer will keep books he will find that as a usual thing the use of mixed stock feed is a matter of arithmetic whether he could buy the ingredients cheaper than he could buy them in a so-called "balanced" ration. MUST TASTE GOOD. National Corp Improvement Services.] A dalmian is one of all things, be palatable to people, 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 of mineral substances necessary to life, health and milk secretion. Many foods are highly digestible. Many feeds are stxty per cent digestible and the work of excreting so much waste matter is costly in that it uses up the energy of the food to do it. SUCCESSFUL FEEDING. Club Improvement Service.) It is most important for food 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 reason. You can verify this by writing to any experiment station 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. [National crop Improvement Service.] C. H. Packard, of Delavan, Wisconsin, progressive and practical dairy man, was not satisfied with his ration of homegrown feed. Although he mixed his milk with brains and it seemed to be theoretically correct, he thought he would cut out his own mixture in comparison with a first class dairy feed. Much to his surprise he found that he could save 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 Armysb 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 same acre will raise ten tons of silage during the time the cow is eating, the grass cafeteria would be the most expensive way to feed your stock. MORE FEED. MORE MILK. [National Crop Improvement Service.] 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, adough old process oil meal keep the droppings moderately soft, but not necessarily loose. Usually 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 are费 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 know what a mixed feed ought to be. There is no danger of any man buying a fraudulent feed. The state laws are very stringent on this point and if any man has any doubt to the value of a feed, all he has to do is to write his State Experiment Station and get the truth. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY: DECEMBER 1, 1917 NO YELLOW PERIL Terauchi Says War Binds America and Japan. RELATIONS NOT ENDANGERED. Baron Goto Says He Hopes Nations Will Find Principles on Which to Base Abiding Relations of Mutual Trust and Confidence—Greetings Cabled to President Wilson. Tokyo, Japan—"By the participation of the United States in the war ourties are strengthened," declared Premier Terauchi at the first dinner of the recently formed American-Japanese society. He had just asserted that never in the history of their intercourse have the two countries come to such a pass as to endanger cordial relationship, and he went on to say: "We are on the coast of the Pacific, where we are creating a common and obdurate foe in the cause of world peace. The friendly relations of the two countries should Photo by American Press Association. PREMIER TERAUCHI. be cemented more strongly than ever by the combined efforts of both governments and peoples." Among the 300 members present were many of the most prominent men in Japanese public life. Viscount Kaneko, ex-minister of justice, presided and the principal speech was made by Baron Goto, ex-minister of communications. Baron Goto said: "There are few questions of such vital moment to the welfare of mankind as the relations of Japan and the United States. The era of the Pacific promises to surpass that of the Mediterranean or the Atlantic. All the forces of the east and west will meet. Will they unite or clash? I believe it lies in the power of the United States and Japan to answer that question, on which the future happiness and progress of the world will depend. For this reason the relations between Japan and the United States are of supreme importance. With the awful responsibility that they owe to mankind, will Japan and the United States work hand in hand or will they turn their backs on each other? I hope the two nations will find principles on which to base abiding relations of mutual trust and confidence. Our speakers were Prince Tokyo, president of the house of pearls, Count Okuma, ex-premier, Baron Sih busaiah, chairman of the Tokyo Bankers' association; Post Wheeler, who is United States charge d'affaires at Tokyo, George H. Scklmore, United States consul general at Yokohama. After the dinner greetings were cabled to President Wilson. HYMN GIVES WARNING. Music Box Tells Autoist When They Reach High Speed. Taylor, S. C. — Green D. Poole, a clerk in the Southern railway depot, claims to have invented a device which is intended to prevent accidents to automobiles. The working of the attachment is simple and is explained by Poole as follows: "While the car is running fifteen miles an hour a white bulb shows on the radio, two-four-five miles a green bulb appears, at the same time when the driver begins to bat 'em cup around sixty per a music box under the seat begins to play Nearer My God to Thee." ALMOST EVERYBODY IS DOING SAME THING San Francisco. — Jesse Lilien- thal, president of the United rail- ways of San Francisco, declared that he might be called the man who put the "con" in economy. He stated that five years ago he saved to keep the wolf at bay and decided not to save another cost as long as he lives. His family halled this plan, and Lilien- thal asserts they have perfor- mated their part not to let him be disappointed by finding any surplus on the first day of Janu- ary each year. Defective Page SUBSTITUTES FOR MONEY. Trader Will Take Almost Anything In Liau of It. 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, tried a form of elevation that almost got by the United States marine corps recruiting officers. Willis 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. He sat in front of a slacker," so I tried my best to be." 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 Bars 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. The declaration adopted by the executive branch can 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 inconsistent with the duties enjoined upon 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 discovsed and she was placed aboard a train for home. Lleutenant Ottman W. Freeborn of Company K, his suspicions excited by the appearance of one soldier, took off the suspects hat. Long brown hair fell about the shoulders and face of a pretty but frightened girl. Miss Nestor said that when Stewart Walker of Woodlawn, was called with his regiment she turned to go too, but he bade her goodby and left. She decided to follow. DR. FINLEY VISITS FRANCE. He Carries Message to Schools of Sixtier 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 by the University of the State of New York, 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 Imperilis 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. McBleigh 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 training air service recruits. Captain McBleigh said shooting at these balloons seemed to have become popular. Sees HIs 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. MARINES GO FIRST Seasoned Veterans to Be Under Colonel Doyen's Command. MAINLY FROM WEST INDIES. Colonel Doyen, Fifty-eight Years Old, Is graduate of Naval Academy—He Has Seen Service In the Philippines and Orient and In Haiti and Santo Domingo. Washington.—A regiment of veteran United States marines continued as regular infantry, will go to France as part of Major John J. Pershing's command. There will be approximately 2,600 men in the regiment, probably the largest numerically that will be engaged on the western front. Among Charles the Doyen at present commandment of the United States marines barracks in this city, who has been in the service thirty-four years, will command this new American contingent. For the most part the marines will be taken from regiments now on duty in Haiti, Santo Domingo and Cuba. Photo by American Press Association. COLONEL CHARLES A. DOYEN. This means that Secretary Daniels will send the pick of "sea soldiers" with General Pershing's command. Every marine in the contingent will be a veteran who has been frequently in action. The American marines have been characterized as the peer of any fighting force on earth. Colonel Doyen is a graduate of the Naval academy. He is fifty-eight years old, but remarkably active for a man of his years. He has seen service in the Philippines and the orient, in Haiti and Santo Domingo and in other places wherever marines have been in action. Secretary Daniels would give no inkillings when the big regiment will go across the sea. The information will be in absolute secret, the departure of General Pershing and his staff and the force which is to follow them will be closely guarded by the military authorities. SCHEME TO BEAT U BOAT. Connecticut Man Would Corral Torpedoes With Magnet. Waterbury, Conn.-Fred Hemmings has invented a device to offset the danger of the torpedo in its attack from the submarine or otherwise. The device is an electric arrangement of great magnetic power attached to the side of the ship, which will attract the torpedo, bring it to the side of the ship attacked and then lift it to the deck without exploding it. Mr. Hemmings believes it is destined to revolutionize sea fighting and will make vessels practically immune from torpedo attacks. Lawrence Addicks, chairman of the naval board, is now considering its adoption for service. Theodore Roosevelt has congratulated Mr. Hemmings in a private letter. PLOWING DAY AND NIGHT. Tractors and Searchlightes Used to Help Cavanna County Farmers. Palo Alto County farms. Auburn County is the Cayuga County Home Defense last committee began intensive food production on the farms of the county by putting out tractors which will plow continuously day and night. Searchlights have been installed, and three crews will go with each machine, working in eight shift shifts. The committee charges farmers $2.50 per acre to plow and $3.50 an acre to plow and fit the land, which covers cost of operation and maintenance. PLAN TO MAKE AN EGG WEIGH MORE Simple as adding two and two is the plan launched in Chicago by the American Poultry association to increase the nation's meat supply by 100,000,000 pounds in four months. Raise chickens is the answer. Lone doesn't weigh much, but in four months, can be transformed into a chicken weighing three pounds.

Washington. — The great American game of 1917 is going to be gardening. By midsummer anybody over eight years old who hasn't learned how to raise foodstuffs on whatever land lambes to be handy will feel as lonely as a tourist in a foreign land who can't speak the language, says Renette Lovewell of the Vigilantes. Villagers especially are interested, and little back yard plots that have hitherto yielded only a dozen or so radishes, a few anaemic tomatoes and a crop of sunflowers are going to be planted this year, even if the clothing has to move down and the hydrangea tub be moved around to the front of the house. Potatoes, turnips and cabbages will be stored away for winter use and peas, string beans, corn, tomatoes and lima beans canned. Nowadays there need be no worry about the jinx in the jars that need to make fruit and vegetables spoil. The department of agriculture and the state colleges send for the asking such clear and concise directions for successful canning that with the wash boiler and a supply of glass jars ten-year-old Susie can "put up" enough fruit and vegetables to see the whole family through until spring. A little bit of ground in the back yard properly prepared, planted and tended to every day and old and Mr. High Cost of Livelihood away from front door in a hurry. Fruit and vegetables are the healthiest sort of diet anyway, and with flour and "shortening" soaring to unheard of prices, canned fruits make an appetizing substitute for cakes and ples. A postal card to your congressman requesting seeds will bring an abundant supply in the mail, and the experts at Washington are glad to send practical advice about how to make these seeds yield real cattle crops. The great American game of 1917, as we said, is going to be gardening. AFTERNOON TEA OF BRITON THREATENED City of London Alone Serves Million Teas a Day Seven Days a Week. London. — One of England's most cherished institutions was menaced with destruction in the nation wide crisis over shortage of breadstuffs. It is the afternoon tea, not the beverage, but the institution itself. Lord Devonport's declaration as food controller that the one mealtess day a week had been a failure because of British tendency to replace flesh food with breadstuffs and his warning that rationing might be near unless there was an immediate reduction in consumption of bread and cake brought about the crisis on the afternoon tea question. From the food controller's office it was declared that if everybody in England ate two ounces less of bread each day the food problem would probably be solved. At least that amount of bread cake is consumed in England's fourth and eighth afternoon. Some bold spirits in England have already been writing to the Times suggesting abandonment of tea, but the idea is revolutionary. London alone serves a million teas a day seven days a week. The trains from Liverpool to London stop at Leeds—for tea and this despite shortage of cars and power and necessity of speedy transportation. Business house throughout England halt work for tea. Tea shops every afternoon resemble the morning rush on the New York subway. The city's appeal for bread saving declared picturesque that every loaf saved is as valuable as a shell. BATTLES WITH WOLVES. Pack Attacks Veterinarian on Lonely Road, and He Shoots. Crane, Mo.-C. L. Egbert, a veterinarian, of Crane, had an encounter with a pack of wolves near Garber. He was driving along a lonely road in a cart when he came upon the wolves, which had just attacked and brought down a yearing steer. Mr. Egbert fired into the pack with his revolver, killing one. The others immediately attacked the horse. The largest wolf leaped on the cart and was shot. Urging his horse to a gallop, Mr. Egbert drove down the road to put where he could safely reload the revolver. Then he returned to the scene the wolves had. We brought the slain wolves into Crane. Wolves have become numerous in the Ozark region again, but this is the first time in a number of years they have attacked a person. Girls Making Own Dresses Sloux City, Ia.—High school girls of this city are designing and making their own dresses at a saving of from $10 to $25 on each gown. All the girls have to pay for is the material. Teaching how to make the dresses is part of the education given them in the public high schools. When done the girls may either wear or sell them. More than seventy girls are already taking the course, which is in its first year. M. G. Clark, superintendent of city schools, is heartily in favor of the plan. $2.00 PER YEAR MINE FIELDS LAID. Entrances to Important Harbors Are Quickly Protected. COAST ARTILLERY IS READY. Every Square Foot of Water Near Port of New York made Unsafe Even For Rowboat—Rear Admiral Knight Set About Safeguarding Narragansett Bay Naval District. Washington.—When the break with Germany came two of the most elaborate and intricate mume mume a nation ever devised for the safeguarding of a city's water gates were planned by the const artillery and the corps of engineers to protect the entrances to the waters immediately about New York. It was a task which was completed in all save the last detail, the actual laying of the mines, and these were stored by hundreds at Fort Toten and Sand Hook, ready for the war department which would seize layers out with their gingerly handled ropes. The aggressiveness and determination with which an attack can be delivered are a lesson of the European war which has not been lost upon the military and naval officials of this country. BEAS ADMIRAL KNIGHT. It has certainly proved of vast value to the coast artillery, which as a second and third line of defense will be intrusted with the defense of New York. The first line is the navy, the fourth is the mobile army. Newport, R. I., the seat of a torpedo factory, a mine base, fuel station, munition magazines, the naval war college and other departments of high naval importance, was formally transferred from the control of Collector of War Austin M. Knight. The naval Admiral Austin M. Knight set about protecting the harbor and the entire Narragansett bay naval district against any emergency. Mines were collected at Forts Greble and Adams ready for distribution in the waters of the harbor approaches. Every strategic center was placed under double guard, the public was refused admission and troops refused of absence except in special instances known as the "mobilization slate," indicating the posts which they will be called upon to fill in the event of an actual mobilization order. The naval torpedo factory was especially busy. Extra time by workers and operation in shifts have been ordered, with efforts made to recruit 400 additional machinists. Three torpedo boat destroyers, with a full crew, are protecting the factory and ready at a same time to perform such other duties as the commandant may order. "IT'S REAL SPORT." This Fighting of Duelis In Air, Aviator on Furlough Says. Cleveland, G.—"It's real sport," said Robert Rockwell, a member of the French aviation service, who is home on a furough. "We are excursions in the service" said Rockwell, "look upon it as sport. They forget it is war. When we come back and, laughing, tell how some enemy birdman escaped, our officers remind us we are at war." Rockwell went to France two years ago as a member of the hospital service, and a air squad last March. He rejoiced on the Somme front. His cousin, Kiffin Rockwell, was killed in an air duel. U. S. LAYS SUBMARINE NET. It Blocks Entrance to Hampton Roads and is Two Miles Long. Norfolk, Va.—As a protection against hostile submarines a powerful steel net has been placed in Hampton Roads between Fort Wool and the government pier at Fort Monroe. The net blocks roads and affords absolute protection to Fort Monroe and Old Point Comfort. The net was laid with so much secrecy that its presence was not known until masters of vessels were forbidden to pass over it without authority from the commanding officer of the navy patrol boats now on duty in the roads. It was about a twelfth long. Its efficiency was proved by the capture of the steamship Madison. No. 301-2 Court Block, 24 E. 4th st. J. Q. ADAMS, Manager.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1917 MR. NATHAN STRAUS IS RIGHT. Mr. Nathan Straus, a well known multi-millionaire of New York City who is campaigning to raise $1,000,000 for welfare work among the Jews in the national service, exhibited the spirit that should burn in the breast of every man, in inviting fifty colored soldiers or the national army at Camp Upton to his home for a Thanksgiving dinner. It is stated that he did this as one way of showing impartiality in welfare work which he had emphasized ought not be confined to aiding men of only one race, one nationality or one color. It is claimed on all sides that this great world war is being waged to firmly establish a worldwide democracy, which is only another name for the brotherhood of man. It cannot be claimed that this is a white man's war, as white men constitute only one-eighth of the cosmopolitan peoples that are actively engaged in it. And this democracy or brotherhood of man will never be established until it is established right. So long as any man, or any set of men are denied equal and exact participation in all obligations and benefits that fall to the lot of mankind, the grand principle of democracy will not be established. There is no half way ground, it must be as the new national slogan says: "FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER." THE ONE GREAT ENEMY. Next month we may declare war against Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey; but the war will always be known as the war with Germany. Germany was the aggressor, from the start; Germany has been the active agent all the time. Austria would never have bulldozed Serbia but for Germany's approval. Bulgaria would never have been drawn in but for the lavishness of German promises. Turkey would have kept out but for Germany's pressure. So, no matter how many nominal enemies we or the other allies may have, the one great enemy is and will be Germany. NOT ONE, BUT TEN MILLION. The Philadelphia Ledger is of the opinion that this war will produce no Robert Morris, no Stephen Girard, no Jay Cooke—meaning by that that no man will so impress himself upon the financial operations of the government during the war that he will stand out 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 countenac 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. like these figures of Revolutionary and Civil War days. This may mean some loss to the picturesqueness with which historians may write the record of our war for the freedom of the world; but that will be more than overbalanced by the gain to the nation in the consciousness that the united action of ten million citizens—the number who subscribed to the second Liberty Loan—means more for the national cause than the superhuman efforts of any one man. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK. "God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." Thus far in this great world war while the colored man has received"some very serious and painful jolts there have been much good to come out of Nazareth. At first, when with their usual loyalty and patriotism colored men forgot their color and undertook to get into the game just as other citizens of this "land of the free and the home of the brave" did, they were rather rudely awakened from their dreams. They, however, pocketed their chagrin as best they could but did not let up in their efforts to prove their loyalty and patriotism all over this country, and the outlook is quite encouraging. Friends of the dominant race who are not ashamed nor afraid to speak their sentiments boldly, are being heard from on all sides in complimentary terms of the patriotism, loyalty, bravery and soldierly bearing. This is very encouraging. A few days ago at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill., Maj. Gen. Thomas H. Barry paid some very high compliments. Among other things he said: "I have served with colored troops in peace and in war off and on for more than forty years, and I have always found them equal to any emergency, if properly handled, led, and given the consideration that you are entitled to. "Under some white skins there are black hearts; and the heart, after all, is the real test of the man." Is not this encouraging? THANK GOD! The Associated Press dispatches very seldom bring good news to colored people; but, last Tuesday there was one dispatch that was read with unalloyed joy by the colored people as follows: Washington, D. C., Nov. 5.—Louisville's Negro segregation ordinance was today declared unconstitutional by the Supreme court. The decision affects similar ordinances in Baltimore, Richmond, St. Louis and many southern cities. In rendering the opinion Justice Day said: "The authority of the state to pass laws in the exercise of the police power having for their object the promotion of the public health, safety and welfare is very broad and has been affirmed in numerous and recent decisions of this court. But it is equally well established that the police power, broad as it is, cannot justify the passage of a law or ordinance which runs counter to the limitations of the federal constitution. "That there exists a serious and difficult problem arising from a feeling of race hostility which the law is powerless to control and to which it must give a measure of consideration may be freely admitted. But its solution can not be promoted by depriving citizens of their constitutional rights and privileges. The right which the ordinance annulled was the civil right of a white man to dispose of his prop- "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with ev Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is seve That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guil Not colored like his ow To enforce the wrong, f My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled.

We might say much in reference to this act of tardy justice, but we will satisfy ourselves by saying: "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." 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. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the Island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor "S FOULEST BLOT." is pained every day's report with which earth is filled. 's obdurate heart. : the natural bond red as the flax the touch of fire. ty of a skin n: and having power or such a worthy cause evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." CONVERTING THE ESKIMO. Christian missionsaries seem to have made little headway in converting the Eskimo in the far north, according to Donald B. MacMillan, head of the 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. "Piblocko" 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 "piblocko." "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 is 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—the asked us, 'where everyone is piblocko? Stay here with us and be happy.'" THE APPEAL believes that the missionaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblockto," 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? INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED. INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED. Substantial increases in existing rates of pension for disablement of the limbs from injuries received in line of duty, are contained in a bill introduced by Representative George P. Darrow of Pennsylvania, which will come up for action by the House at the next session of congress. Mr. Darrow's proposed rates run from $65 for the loss of total disability of one hand or one foot, to $150 for the loss or total disability of both arms and both legs. They amount roughly to an increase of about 50 per cent in the existing rates for similar cases. The bill is made to apply to persons already on the pension rolls, and to all who may be granted a pension hereafter, but Mr. Darrow specifically provides that the measure shall not operate to reduce any pension heretofore granted. The passage of this measure will be heartily approved of by the people. The National Food Administration is doing its utmost in every way possible to educate the people up to the fact that there is not enough food stuffs to supply our needs without the practice of rigid economy by everyone, especially the housewives. The forecast of available supply indicates grave danger of serious shortage, unless conservation is vigorously and nationally practiced. The slogan is: "In the Name of Liberty—SAVE FOOD". Many colored people are advocating "self effacement" for the race as the solution of the race problem. The more the race gives the more its enemies will demand. Never willingly relinquish any right. It is sad to think that there are colored men who are willing to barter way their rights as American citizens for the doubtful honor of being patted on the back and called "good negroes." Why Did They Prefer "Colored?" (From the New York News) (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 have caught the full meaning of its use at Houston, Texas. At the request of the Twenty-fourth Infantry men themselves, the authorities decided to refer to them as enforcerof as "colored" soldiers. They rided and nagged and goaded by the corrupted use of the word until forbearance ceased to be one of their virtues. They had become contemptuously and constantly referred to in the daily press not as American soldiers, or Americans, nor as "Uncle Sam's Boys" or in any other respectful terms. They had been designated and debased in the public mind there—these brave, many defenders of the brave tag—as "Negroes." Perceiving his role and influence the while officers of the Troup were appealed to the authorities to use the word "colored." instead. With the word "colored," troopers or soldiers would have to be used. A kindler feeling between the soldiers and the townpeople they were sure would inevitably result. They were profoundly right, but they were too late. Had the practice obtained prior to their induction in Houston, a different state of affinity might have ensured. We ask all promiscuous and indifferent users of the word "Negro" for this situation slowly. The request of the troopers and their officers for the change should be a striking example to all Doubting Thomasases as to just how the practice works out today in 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. does not much harm. What reason, then, for making it you willing to be called a "Nigger?" or please to have your wife or mother called a "Negress." Then discontinue issuing "Negro." If you think it worth while for you to be referred to as a man and your folk as people, insist on the use of the word "colored." Must Judge A Group by Its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston Mass.) 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 class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that they have had no colored people better than the first. That the others do not know, or, knowing, do enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are oblious of; they know qualities which 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 by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously canny, would be courageously able to revise their judgments and thereby ten their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest alms. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. Should Open the Doors to Opportunity (From the Christian Register.) (From the Christian Register.) A circulated sent out to employers in a large city, calling attention to the number and quality of young colored men trained in the schools of the city, and asking co-operation and counsel in making their services available, brought one reply which though anonymous is significant of an opinion still widely influential, "Kindly send them with Africa, instead of mixing them with an indication of two points are of course admissible, the practice measures it is curious that all gentle person should seriously entertain them. Does any one suppose that the colored population of the United States could be sent to Africa, or that if they were sent they would go? So long as they are here, and have already been mixing for more than a century, and have the rights of citizenship, including the right to die with white men for their country, is it any reckonable menace to respectability and intrinsic leadership to open a few more industrial doors to their proved abilities and usefulness? While we write, a moving-van is unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the boss, the white men take his orders. There is not the least trouble about it. There would never be trouble if it were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. 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; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored people can trace their descent to Africa, and that is more right to call all colored people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. (From the Nassau Clarion) Down in Houston, Texas are some eleven public buildings labeled "NEGROES THE GOS GOS GOS" ALLED ED." Generous Classification! Such signs as these account in such measure, for the exceedingly rapid manner in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a town like this. They have hearts and souls and human pride, just like the people of other races. Campaign Against Lynching.

Mason, 1045 Cross street, had a terrible experience Tuesday morning, when two robbers, posing as soap agents, gained entrance to her home about 11:00 o'clock. They bound and gaged her and left her on a sofa. They took several valuable rings, some pieces of silverware and other valuables. After struggling for some time she succeeded in loosening the cord about her feet, hopped to the telephone, removed the receiver with her teeth, her hands being tied behind her, and called the police. As she could not hear the answer she kept calling until the police arrived and released her. She gave as good a description of the robbers as she could, but the miscrents have not been apprehended. It was a very trying experience and her nerves were all unstrung, but she bravely kept her engagement to sing at the piano recital of T. Theodore Taylor at Bethesda Baptist church, Minneapolis, that evening, where she acquitted herself as artistically as if nothing had happened. The experience of Mrs. Mason should act as a warning to the people generally to be careful about safeguarding their homes and themselves.

THE APPEAL man and his family were enabled to have roast turkey as the piece de resistance of the menu of their Thanksgiving dinner, through the thoughtful kindness of Rev. Daniel Harding, of Lake City, who sent them a fine, large national bird, for which they all tender their stomachful thanks. Thanks are also due to Mr. Louis Carter, St. Paul, for the oysters for the dressing and the soup. Isn't it just fine to be so kindly remembered in these strenuous war times and H. C. L.?
