C. called Ursalam. The earliest mention of phase in Scripture is in Gen. 14. 5:8. Midekdek is called "King of Salem." It next appears as the Jebus, the stronghold of the Jebustes, which long-held out against the Israelite invaders. With King David a new chapter opens, for it was he who made the final conquest of the fortress, joining the lower city with the citadel of Mount Zion. The first temple there was built by Solomon, and the story of its construction and the articles used as outlined in the Scripture story give some idea of its magnificence. After the revolt of Jerusalem, the city was besieged by Sheshak, king of Egypt, 935 B.C. Philistines and Arabs, 850 B.C. Jebah, king of Israel, 786 B.C. all of whom inflicted more or less damage. In 701 B.C. Nennacherib laid siege to Jerusalem, but was forced to withdraw. In 597 and more effectively in 586 Babylon took possession of the city, sacked it and deported the "elite" of its inhabitants to Babylon. Jerusalem was then reduced to the position of an insignificant town. No new chapter begins with the return of the under Zerubbabel and Jeshua 586 B.C. was begun in 585 and after a long delay caused by the machinations of the (Copyright, Heart of Modern Jerusalem) (Copyright, by Underwood & Underwood, Modern Jerusalem.

The historic city has been destroyed and rebuilt times without number, only to finally fall for the second time into the hands of Christian British. Great Moral Victory. The gigantic British encircling strategy took in, on the south, the little town of Bethlehem, where Christ was born, 2,017 years ago. There seems to be no doubt that the capture of Jerusalem is one of the most stupendous moral victories of the war. It is a unique fact that British leaders and British armies now, as in the centuries past, are still the tenacious, successfuloes of Mohammed's people. Successors of Mohammed's people, led by Dallon, in penitence for fancied sins, decided to absolve himself of mundane daints by engaging in an altruistic campaign for the deliverance of Jerusalem to Christian control. In a series of campaigns he fought the mighty Saladin through many sanguinary battles to a truce. He found it impossible to maintain a maximum fighting strength through the extreme line of communications. Disease and misfortune reduced his armies to nomadic bands, which were, some of them, taken as slaves by the Mussulmans. Others roamed the continent for years or engaged in mercenary wars wherever they found chieftains willing to help. Rhianard himself became a fugitive, was arrested by enemies while strangling his way through Austria, and only released when friends in Britain raised enormous ransoms. Interesting Campaign. Interesting Campaign. It is an interesting campaign that has just been successful in restoring Jerusalem. A glance at the geographical nature of the land over which the British advanced from Gaza to Jaffa to Jerusalem is intensely interesting Palestine, an almost regular rectangle, may be divided into four equal parts lengthwise for this purpose. The strip along the Mediterranean sea is flat country, a continuous plain. The next strip to the east is mountainous, possessing the character the Catskill country of New York state, except that the hills and mountains are not so heavily wooded. The third strip from the coast is a great depression through which the River Jordan flows. The fourth is the plateau land which rises beyond the Jordan. By taking the coastal route the English were able to advance with little trouble from natural obstacles. Some distance above Askelon the invading army apparently forked, one --- --- VOL 33. NO 52 JERUSALEM MOST FOUGHT FOR CITY IN THE WORLD Seat of Christian Religion Wrested From Moslem After 1,200 Years' Rule. CROSS DISPLACES CRESCENT Down Through the Ages the Holy City Has Been Prey of Half the Races of the World and Has Been Destroyed and Rebuilt Many Times. The capture of Jerusalem by the British forces marks the end, with two brief interludes, of more than twelve hundred years' possession of the seat of the Christian religion by the Mohammedans. The Christian ruler of Jerusalem was the German emperor Frederick II, whose short-lived domination lasted from 1229 to 1244. In sentiment and romantic aspect the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds even the fall of fable-crowned Bagdad. Since the days when David wrested it from the hands of Jebusites to make Samaritans, was completed in 515. Ezra, with another band of captives returned there in 458 and established the law, while Nehemiah rebuilt the wall, and again Jerusalem became the shrine of Israel. Lapse In History We know practically nothing of its history for more than a century, until in 332, Alexander the Great conquered Syria. The gates of Jerusalem were opened to him, and he left the Jews in peaceful occupation. The revolt of the Maccabees brought, however, a fresh succession of troubles upon it. It was bested by the Greeks in 139, 134, 65 and 63 B. C., and the temple was pillaged in 55 B. C. The Roman domination under Herod brought an interval of peace. Herod built a palace, restored the citadel Antonia, and in 19 B. C. began the erection of the third temple. Jerusalem is very closely identified with the earthly life of Jesus Christ. It was to the great Jewish festival there he was taken by his parents. Here they lost him and on returning found him conversing with the wise men. It was to the city he looked when he uttered his palivate cry, "O Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them sent unto thee" finishing by predicting its doom, which occurred just over seventy years later. It was to Jerusalem he went for the last week of his life, "the Passion week," as we term it, and on entering the city on an ass the thronging crowds cast down branches of palm trees, hailing him as king. Walk to Golgotha. His mock trial in Platea's hall and walk to Golgotha outside the city, where on the cross the world's Redeemer was crucified, add most profound interest to Jerusalem. It was within sight of the city, with the disciples around him, that Christ ascended to heaven, leaving for his followers the command to go out into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, and to begin the story of the evangel in Jerusalem. Here 40 days later Peter preached to the thronging crowds assembled at Jerusalem for the Passover. This marvelous sermon created such a powerful impression that 3,000 responded to his summons. In the early days of the Christian era the Jews were in constant revolt against the Roman power. At length Titus, the espasian, was sent to take and destroy the city. In spite of a herole Jewish defense and after a siege of 143 days it fell to Titus in 70 A. D. The greater part of the populace was put to the sword and the city entirely raged by the plow. So that, according to Christ's prophecy, not one stone remained upon another. The numbers who perished in this siege, according to Josephus, amounted to above a million souls, and the captives to almost a hundred thousand. THE APPEAL. In 184 A. D. the rebellion of De Cochba was the signal for another devastation, but in 186 Hadrian built the city, called it Aella Capitolina, and generally paganized it. When the Roman empire eventually became Christian, the Jews acquired the right to visit Jerusalem annually to lament over the ruins of their loved city. In 838 the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was founded. In 832 Julian attempted to rebuild the temple, but was prevented. The next important epoch was about 460, when the Empress Eudocia visited Palestine and expanded large sums on the improvement of the city. A church was built above the pool of Siloam, and after having completely disappeared for many centuries it was recovered by F. J. Bliss when making his exploration of Jerusalem. The empress also erected a large church in honor of St. Stephen north of the Damascus gate. The site of this church was discovered in 1874 and it has since been rebuilt. In 1832 Justinian issued important buildings, fragments of which remain incorporated with the mosque, but these and the other Christian buildings were ruined in about 614 by the destroying King Chosroes II.

At a meeting of farmers' wives in Klokau county, Mrs. Ida Gregory, county woman agent, discusured the efficacy of canning soy beans.

STEAL MORE CHINESE SEALS Prominent Official of the Republic Disappears With the Presidential A short breathing space was allowed the Christians after this storm, and then the young strength of Islam swept over them. In 637 Ommar conquered Jerusalem after four months' siege. Under the comparatively easy rule of the Omnidam caliphus Christians did not suffer severely. Though excluded from the temple area, they were free to use portions of the Holy Sepulcher. This, however, could not last under the fanatical Fatimite callips, who succeeded them, and the suffering of the Christians then led to that extraordinary series of invasions commonly called the Crusades. The Crusaders were a semireligious and a semi-military movement. They represented the passions and ideas of Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries—its chivalry, its hatred of Mohammedanism and its desire to possess the spots hallowed by the sufferings of our Lord. Their long continuance shows the intensity of the sentiments which possessed them. During this period Palestine was harried for about a hundred years and the undying tradition of which no doubt revered the triumph of Christianity over the Arab. In 1927 Palestine became subject to Egypt for 27 until the Ottoman sultan, Sultim I, conquered Syria in 1517, and Turkish possession has continued to the present day and under rule practically without a history. Singularly Situated. In 1187 Jerusalem fell to Saladin, who rebuilt its walls. From 1292 to 1241 the German Christians held Jerusalem, but in 1244 a fearful massacre swallowed up the last relics of Christian occupation. In 1517 it was conquered by the Sultan Selim I, and since then it has been a Turkish city. Selim's successor, Suleiman the Magnificent, restored the fortifications, which since that time have been little altered. The situation of Jerusalem is in several respects singular among the cities of Palestine. Its elevation is remarkable, occasioned not from its being on the summit of one of the numerous hills of Judea, like most of the cities and villages, but because it is on the edge of the highest tablelands of the country. Although to a certain extent the four hills on which it is built—Zion, Morail, Acrer and Bezeth—may still be distinguished, their actual boundaries cannot be traced. The contour of these hills has been changed by the accumulation of debris of past centuries. Jerusalem is connected with its Gen. E. H. H. Allenby, commander of the British forces that captured Jerusalem. port, Jaffa, by a carriage road 41 miles and by a meter-gauge railway 54 miles, which was completed in 1892 and worked by a French company. Prior to 1858, when the modern building period commenced, Jerusalem lay wholly within its sixteenth-century walls, and even as late as 1875 there were few private residences beyond their limits. At present Jerusalem without the walls covers a larger area than that within. The last census gave the population as 8,000, 7,000, 13,000, 13,000, 13,000. During the pilgrimage season it is increased by about 15,000 travelers. Defective Page BRITISH SKIPPER HERO IN FIGHT BRITISH SKIPPER HERO IN FIGHT Though Mortally Wounded, He Refuses to Haul Down the Flag. GOES TO BOTTOM WITH SHIP "I'm Done; Throw Books Overboard" He Says; and Orders the Crew to Save Themselves—Laded by Prime Minister. London—The following, from the Daily Telegraph, is a story of unusual heroism and the winning of a Victoria Cross: In the speech in which he proposed that the thanks of parliament be accorded to the nation's heroes, the prime minister spoke in glowing terms of the men of the fishing fleets, and moved the house to cheers as he told of a skiffman who, with both legs shot off and most of his face injured, refused to haul down the flag, gave the order, "Throw the confidential books overboard, and throw me after them," and went down with his trawl. The story the whole country and now, in a special supplement to the London Gazette, comes the sequel. It is announced that a posthumous grant of the Victoria Cross has been made to Skipter Thomas Crisp, R. N. R., N. 10,55, D. A. (killed in action), and that the Distinguished Service medal has been awarded to Second Hand Thomas William Crisp, R. N. R., N. 4,332, D. A. (killed in action) and the record of their brave deeds will take a foremost place even among the many wonderful stories of gallantry which this war has produced. "On an August afternoon, at about a quarter to three, the trawl was shot from the smack Nelson. The skipper was below packing fish; one hand was on deck cleaning fish for the next morning's breakfast. Coming on deck, Mr. Crisp saw an object on the horizon, examined it closely and sent for his glasses. Almost directly he sang out, 'Clear for action. Submarine.' He had scarcely spoken when a shot fell about a hundred yards away on the port bow. The motorman got to his motor; the deckhand dropped his fish and went to the ammunition room; while the other hands, at the skipper's orders, 'Let go your gear,' let go the warp, and put a 'dan' on the end of it. "Meanwhile the gunlayer held his fire, until the skipped said. It is no use waiting any longer, we will have to let them have it." From the distance the submarine sent shell after shell at the smack, and at the fourth shot the shell went through the port bow just below the waterline. "There was no confusion on board, not even when the seventh shell struck the skipped, passed through his side, through the deck and out through the side of the ship. The second hand at once took charge of the tiller and the firing continued. All the time water was pouring into the ship and she was sinking. One man, the gunlayer, went to the skipped to see if he could render first aid, but it was oblivious that he was mortally wounded. "It's all right, boy, do your best, said the skipped, and then, to the second hand, 'Send a message off.' This the message: 'Nelson being attacked by submarine. Skipped killed. Send assistance at once.' With the skipping and only five rounds of ammunition left, the second hand went to the skipped, who was lying there on the deck, and-heard him say, 'Abandon ship.' 'Show the books oxboard.' 'Show the books oxboard.' "He was asked then if he should lift him into the boat, but his answer was: 'Tom. I'm done; throw me over board.' He was in too bad a condition to be moved, and they left him there on his deck and took to the small boat, and about a quarter of an hour afterward the Nelson went down by the head. "It was drawing into dusk as they left and the crew of the boat pulled all that night. Toward morning the wind freshened and blew out of their course. They pulled all day, fastening a pair of trousers and a large piece of olskin to two oars to attract attention. Once a vessel was sighted, and once a group of minesweepers, but they passed out of sight. At night the weather became firmer. Through the night they pulled, until daybreak, and at half-past 9 o'clock in the morning they found a buoy and made fast to it. By afternoon they were sighted and rescued. The second hand, who took charge of the tiller after the skipper had been shot down, was his son."

Washington—Ocean carriers, plying between American and European ports, transported in a period a little over three months approximately 33,000 tons of war relief material, shipped by the American Red Cross through its national clearing house. More hospital supplies, anaesthetics, medical dressings and foodstuffs are being sent than at any other time since American entrance in the war. The widening of Red Cross work in Europe and the fact that cold weather is bringing with it pressing needs were responsible for the increased shipments. The Red Cross is supplying not only war hospitals but also infirmaries, recuperating stations, canteens, dispensaries, homes for nurses and the many other things which it established in France to help save American lives and the lives of allied soldiers and civilian sufferers as well.

Nothing has contributed more toward the popularity enjoyed by American troops in France than the democratic behavior of their officers. I witnessed a delightful sample of this the other day in the city in which Maj. Gen. Robert Lee Bullard has his headquarters. Privileged to accompany the general to a charity performance at the local theater, I was standing with him and two of his officers in the lobby during the intermission, when a "Poll" hove into view. Frenchman, who wore medals for valor and stripes showing he had thrice been wounded, had entirely consumed a goodly quantity of his country's wine. Afterward we learned that it was his first day out of hospital, and naturally he had celebrated a bit. "Glad to See You, Old Chap!" "Glad to See You, Old Chap!" "Ah, volll of the Americans!" he exclaimed joyously. "I'm indeed glad to you old chap!" he went on, shaking hands and logically. "It's the first time I've met you, though I heard a lot about you in hospital. Welcome to France! When are you coming into the trenches with us?" With that he plunged into a long account of his experiences, delivered in very good English, which he said he had learned during a trip through the United States five years before. General Bullard listened smilingly and kept right on smiling even when the Pollu clapped him on the back and called him his "side partner" and invited him to have a drink. He thanked him very much, said the nurse. The soldier strolled off. In two minutes he was back again, but this time he drew himself up at attention and gave a flourishing salute. All's Well That Ends Well. "Excuse me, sir," he said, "they tell me you're a general. Is that true?" "Yes, that's so." General Bullard replied, still smiling. "Well, then, sir, all I can say is I beg your pardon. I thought you were a sergeant, sir, the same as I am. I am not to your American uniforms." "And you've been to America?" "Yes, sir." "Would you like to act as instructor to some of our machine gun men?" The Polli was overwhelmed. It must be explained that practically every man in the French army who speaks English has applied for one job and here was an American major general whom he had taken for a more seagent, inviting him to do what hundreds of French officers are vainly asking for! "You bet your life I would," the Polli fairly yelled, again seizing the general's hand. "Come to my office tomorrow, then, and we'll see about it."

Before another issue of THE AP-PEAL is published, the present year with its joys and its sorrows will have passed into history, and we will know it no more, except as a memory. A memory that will not soon be forgotten. The year now drawing to a close has been especially notable and has wrought more changes for weal or woe to a larger number of the world's people than any that preceded it. Very few, if any, of us, fully realize just what has taken place in the past twelve months, but to many it has been a horrible nightmare from which we have been unable to awaken. However, as "hope springs eternal in the human breast," we hope for better things in the coming year. "Then hall New Year! We bid wee welcome. Thy gifts are many but not yet disclosed. With thee may come joy or sorrow, pleasure or pain, failure or success, hope deferred or dreams realized. We bid wee welcome and will try to cherish and improve the gift of time. We greet thee with a cheer as we undertake our journey in thy care." In the words of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene T.

But then you know there is no show for these old charms of yore. They've had their day, and passed away with myths that's gone before: So we will send to you, dear friend, our greeting full of cheer, Our kindest love—hovering above—you all throughout the year.

An early Free Soller, he was give in the organization of the Fremont campaign in 1856; and his State was among those which gave their electoral votes to the Pathfinder.

He became secretary of the Republican National Committee, and his activities in the disputed Presidential election of 1876 are a matter of history. He served in President Arthur's Cabinet as Secretary of the Navy; and under him were taken the first steps in the building of the new navy, the "White Squadron" of his day having now become the second largest naval force afloat. For fourteen years he represented New Hampshire in the Senate; and on his retirement from that position he become president of the commission which settled the claims growing out of the war with Spain. For sixty years he was active in public affairs, having outlived nearly all of his contemporaries of pioneer Republican days and having maintained his interest in constructive political work to the end. The members of the "Old Guard" are rapidly passing away, soon there will be none left, and to equal them who will arise to take their places? WHAT FOOLS SOME MORTALS BE. "Every white man in Mississippi realizes the seriousness of permitting Negroes to roam about in the South in the uniform of United States Army officers." Thus runs a sentence in a Vicksburg, Mississippi, dispatch to the New York World. What is there serious in this? The colored men who have won officers' commissions in the National Army were selected because of superior intellectual qualifications, they were given the intensive training of the Reserve Officers' Corps at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa. They were commissioned only upon merit; and there is no reason to believe that they will fail to do credit to the uniform which they are entitled to wear. That a white Mississippiian of Democratic faith should find it a serious matter for any colored man to wear other than overalls and jumper or to carry in his hand any implement more important than a hoe may well be believed. But that there is anything of real menace in such a thing is ridiculous. MR. NATHAN STRAUS JS MR. NATHAN STRAUS IS RIGHT. 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 of 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 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." "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 "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."

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? 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 "S FOULEST BLOT." is pained every day's report with which earth is filled.

One of the Liberty Loan workers in New York suggests that it is a mistake not to accept the entire sum of the oversubscription which has resulted from the "drive." It took a great deal of work and no small amount of time and a tremendous lot of careful planning, he argues, to secure the host of small subscriptions which came in at the last and swelled the total of the offering. This work, he says, will have to be done all over again when the next loan is floated, with the chance that some of the subscribers will not then be in position to subscribe anew. There are a whole lot of people in this world who would like to know when the great world war will end. Of course no one wishes it to end until it ends right, with "FREEDOM FOR ALL FOREVER," but "Brush and Pall," gives this information which our readers are welcome to: WHEN THE WAR WILL END Absolute knowledge I have none, But my aunt's charwoman's sister's son Heard a policeman on his heat Heard a policeman on his beat Tell a housemaid in Downing Street. That he had a brother who had a friend Who knew when the war was going to end. 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 differentiation 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 Sldney 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 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 travelling 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 missionaries 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 have gone "piblocko." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because Defective Page PLAY SAFE 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 piblocko? Stay here with us and be happy.'' THE APPEAL believes that the missionaries who are trying to "convert" the Eskimos are "piblocko," especially those from the United States, who are trying to impose the American brand of jimcrow Christianity on them. If they have all of the necessary virtues right now, why waste time and money teaching them the murderous Christianity of America? 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 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 property if he saw fit to do so to a person of color and of a colored person to make such disposition to a white person." 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." Must Have a Place in School Our naval training camp has every nationality under the flag to flout into the face of the bull, we have Chinamen out, there, the Filipino out there, the Greek out there, the Hebrew out there, the Italian out there, and God himself only knows what else out there, but we do know that we are near the hearth we are near the bathroom and broom. Space must be made for the boy of the Colored race in the school for which we are paying taxes. (Atlanta (Ga ) Independent) When meat was 15c a pound and flour $800 a barrel, the laborer received from $4.00 to $8.00 a week. Now meat is 30c a pound and flour $16.00 a barrel, he is receiving the same wages. He cannot live at this and the white man cannot expect him to remain in the South and live on the starvation, wages he is paying him when the fields and the factories in the South are offering him living wages. If the farmer will suppress lynching and lawlessness in the rural districts, pay the colored man living wages, give him a square deal on the farms, better schools, open the doors of the shops and factories to his prowess, and let him in the labor unions, municipal ordinances (to keep colored men from leaving the South) will be unnecessary. The Color Line in the Catholic Church. (From the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.) Vocate, New Orleans, La.) There are two hundred thousand colored Catholics in the United States according toALTER F. McEntire, a Catholic theologian in telling of the orders and societies of man and women working among color people in the United States, among other things says in the Tidings, of Los Angeles: "The Church knows no color-line in the House of God, and any man who tries to lay one down is not a true Catholic." This is good reading but it is not true to fact. There are only two colored priests in the entire Catholic colored constituency of America, and the Catholic Church is the only religious body in America that forces on its constituency a white ministry. Moreover, the color issue is drawn as coveted in the Catholic church as elsewhere. There was time the Catholic churches welcomed colored people to the altars but not now. In St. Joseph Church, New Orleans, a few seats in the rear are marked reserved for colored. THANK GOD!

THRIFT STAMPS It is pointed out by the Treasury Department that Thrift Stamps are not made redeemable in cash for the reason that these stamps are simply intended as a convenient method for the small savers to accumulate enough to purchase War Savings Stamps, near interest and are redeemable in cash. In addition, to provide for redemption for these Thrift Stamps would involve such an amount of detailed accounting and labor and expense as to impair the practicability of their use. In fact, they would be more trouble and expense to the Government possibly than they are worth. SOLDIER AND SAILOR INSURANCE The insurance offered by the United States Government to members of its military and naval forces has been called the most just and humane provision ever made by any nation for its soldiers and sailors. That its value and advantages are appreciated by the Army and Navy is evidenced by the extent which it has been availed of. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo officially announced on December 14 that 238,924 applications had already been received, representing $2,073,728,500 of insurance. The average amount for applicants is $8,679, which is very little less than the maximum of $10,000. The American forces in France were prompt in availing themselves of the insurance, Gen. Pershing himself subscribing to the maximum of $10,000. New President for Hampton Institute. New York, Dec. 23. The Rev. James E.

The Seventh Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be held December 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th in New York City. It is proposed at this Conference to discuss freely the phases of the economic and civic relations of the colored peoples, especially the American Negro, to the war and the adjustment of those relations after the war. FOOD CONSERVATION Lest we forget! We are at War, and it is not a mere outing like the Spanish-American War—but a serious war in which the little things that are asked to do will prove of as special importance as the larger ones. You are asked to make the small sacrifices, so that the larger sacrifices will not be necessary. One half of all the colored families in the United States would use one teaspoonful of sugar less in their tea and coffee one day each week, this little sacrifice would result in the saving of 1,500,000 pounds of sugar a year. Sugar is a necessity in this war. If one of our families would use one pound of sugar each week, it would save 800,000 bushels of meat, which could be sent to help feed our soldiers and those who are fighting by our side in this war.

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Of President Vail to Employees of the Bell Telephone System. Two thousand years ago a new era, a new religion, dawned upon the world. We are approaching the anniversary of that dawning. Whatever of civilization, of freedom, of joy, of enjoy, comes from the subordination by man of human passion and selfishness because of the teachings, the incarnation or reincarnation of the ideals and principles of that religion. Peace and good will on earth to men. Peace on earth to men of good will is the basis of liberty of mankind. Our democracy is based on liberty, the liberty of all to live and enjoy life, the fullest liberty to each individual consistent with the same right to all other individuals. More is impossible. Under this civilization has come greater peace throughout the world. Wilder intercommunication and more neighborly feelings towards our fellow-men have been developed. Won- AMERICAN TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE BELL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES derful instrumentalities of transportation and communication have built up that world-wide, social and economic organization which brings within the reach of all so much which would be impossible without it. Man's self-dependence, or independence of others, has passed, but in its place have come greater possibilities of life. Dependence of man upon man implies service of man to man. To maintain democracy, civilization and service, convention, regulation and law, an organized government is necessary. The difference between the organization of the government by democracy and that by autocracy is that democracy is government by the will of the governed, and not the government of a few acting by usurped power or that of an insurgent minority. Government by democracy must be enforced as vigorously, impartially, unfinchingly as that by any other government. They who differ may express their difference, may do all possible to convert others, so long as it is not done in open defiance or in active rebellion, and so long as their actions are subordinated to the will and authority of the majority. If and when a majority of all cannot be trusted to express the will of a male, cannot be trusted to act wisely, cannot be willing to abide by it, any government, except government by force will fall. Our democracy is now threatened from without and the democracy of the whole world is at stake. The protection of our democracy must come from those it protects. Every individual, to its protection owes all life, liberty, substance. To the protection of that democracy he must if necessary devote all. We who have served the Bell System, what service means, but only in a degree to be the service we have learned, to be likened to the service for which we are now called upon. Many of us are already serving at the front. All of us are serving in some way and are ready to serve wherever we can and are needed. To the members of the Bell System the opportunity for the gift of service is particularly great. Each individual, man or woman, in the service of the movement or the Company is responsible for the large degree for the country's safety, welfare, for the success of liberty and democracy the world over, for the future freedom of humanity. Let us dedicate to our country, in whatever way. whenever and wherever we may be called, our unhesitating, unfinishing service, implicit in its obedience and subordination to duty and authority. t hardened men service slack: great: but then u see, was black. dependent.

When a feller’s fightin’ sin, ‘And the vie'tries hard to’ win; Then help him to just, dig in, ‘And meet him with a smile. When a fellers down and out, And the devil's hard to rout; Then help him to turn about, And meet him with a smile. When a feller needs a friend, ‘That his ways he may amend; Tis for you a hand to lend, And meet him,with a smile, When a feller’s feelin’ blue, And he don't know what to do; Then it’s clearly up to you, To meet him with a smile.
