Miss Anne Morgan and Her Co-Workers Share in Primitive Life While Carrying on Labor Among Destitute People. New York.—Miss Margaret Stevenson, co-worker of Miss Anne Morgan in Devastated France, has just arrived in this country with the first direct news of the reconstruction work already accomplished by this American Fund for French Wounded unit composed of ten of the 27 refugees they have partly rehabilitated, acres of land they have had cultivated, a hundred refuge families they have clothing, and installed in houses they have furnished; the classes they are running for children who have run wild since the beginning of the German occupation, and of the community center they have established at Blerancourt, in the heart of the ravaged region. Live In Rude Barracks. "We are living in rude wooden barracks built on the ruins of the old Chateau of Blerancourt," said Miss Stevenson. "Our barracks are furnished with the same unpainted furniture and plain iron beds that we give to the peasants. The heads of our unit, Miss Anne Morgan and Miss Drinke, share with us in this primitive kitchen, where we seven o'clock in the morning, tidy our huts, help with the dishes, and then are off about their duties, visiting the refugees, finding out their wants and helping install them in temporary shelters. Both Miss Morgan and Miss Dike speak French as well as they do English, and they have entered deeply into the lives of the people. Something approaching normal village life has been restored to the communities under the care of the American Fund for Miss Stevenson says. "The French barracks are placed quite in charge of the Alaskan and Some districts, both of which were systematically devastated by the Germans. "Our unit is militarized and works directly under the French army," Miss Stevenson explained. "Through the military authorities, Miss Morgan has obtained valuable aid. Soldiers on eight-day leave from the trenches are put, under her direction, to help rebuild shattered homes and plow the neglected fields. There are no abbandoned men or women left in this part of France. When the Germans retreated they swept the civilians before them. All who were able to work for them they kept behind their lines; the nooproducts—that is, the feeble old people and the small children—they have allowed to return. These are the refugees, the people we have to help make homes for and make self-supporting. Wonderful People. "They are wonderful too, these old people." Miss Stevenson went on. "They return to their destroyed homes worn out with suffering and hardships, but no sooner are they on their beloved soil again than they seem revitalized, filled with energy, and the desire to restore all that has been destroyed. They build one-room shelterers for themselves from the ruins of their once comfortable homes or else their government puts up small demountable wooden pumps with everything. These we furnish with everything. We start to home life anew—beds, bedding, kitchen utensils, and we supply them with clothing and foodstuffs. Everything that is sent to us from America we give them without cost, but the stoves and kitchen utensils that we buy in Paris we sell for two-thirds the cost. They prefer to have it so, and they pay any way they choose—in work or vegetables. The first thing they do when they reach their homes is to start a garden, and many of them have been able to support themselves this way. Others make their living by washing for the soldiers. These are men and women, a memoir, aged men and women of seventy-five, even eighty. They walk from villages miles away to get help from us, and they wheel great loads of supplies on wheelbarrows some eight or ten miles over cobble roads. "These old people who have worked hard and denied themselves all their lives so they would have a competency in their old age have to begin life again with nothing but their stiff old hands and their courageous hearts. They all regret now that they didn't have a little more fun out of life when they were younger, that they had not put off ease and comfort until their old age. But they do not complain; they just dig in and work harder than ever to make a home for the sons and daughters who may come back at the end of the war, or at least for the grandchildren."

DECALOGUE OF WAR Dr. Anna Shaw Announces One for Every Woman. Wartime Commandments Arranged by the Professor of the University of Turin. New York.—Here is the new "Decalogue of War," as announced by Anna Shaw: 1. Do not chatter. Keep to yourself the news you hear, your own impressions and your apprehensions. 2. Do not listen to alarmists, to slackers, or those who would spread discouragement. Silence them. 3. Be moderate in your spending, neither lavish in gifts nor sordid in your economies. Let everything in your life, even your daily expenses, take on at this moment its true national importance. 4. Encourage national industries, avoiding imported goods, even though they may seem better and less costly, than those made at home. 5. Do not look upon the departure to the front of those dear to you as an abandonment. Be with them constantly in thought, as they are with you, particularly in the danger. 6. Do not complain of the difficulties, annoyances and privations caused by the war. Think of those who are dying for their country, and complaint will halt upon your lips. 7. Multiply your activities, in your home as well as outside, thereby rendering yourself useful to your country by the work of your hands, the warmth of your heart and the charity of your intelligence. 18. Exhibit day by day and hour by hour the same courage a man shows upon the field of battle. Instruct the ignorant, uphold the feeble, console those who are stricken; transmit your own confidence to others. 19. No matter how long the struggle may last, await victory with strength and patience. 10. If you are stricken in your dearest affections, bear your sorrow nibly, that your tears may be worthy of the hero whose death you mourn. These taintime commandments were arranged by the professors of the University of Turin. SUGAR BOWL LOOTING NOW POPULAR FAD Cleveland, O.—"Madam, kindly remove your fist from that sugar bowl." It is perfectly permissible for waiters to so address women patrons found looting the sugar bowls, County Food Administrator assured them. Complainters have been numerous the past few days that women dropped into downtown lunchrooms, ordered a cup of coffee and a piece of pie (check, 15 cents) and then walked out with their muffs full of sugar cubes. It has become almost an epidemic and the restaurant men, not wishing to offend, applied to North for a remedy. But North did not recommend subtle diplomacy on the part of the waiters. SNOW HELPS IN THE SOUTH Planters Will Reap Benefit of Extension of Snow Line in South This Winter. Memphis, Tenn.—Planters will benefit to the extent of many thousands of dollars as a result of the snow line extending far into the South this winter. Agricultural experts contend that where land is covered with snow during the winter months it is more productive the following summer. Freezing weather has extended to the Gulf coast and snow has fallen to the depth of several inches over most of the Southern states. THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE ST. PAUL AND MINN WAR SURGEONS WORK MIRACLES Incredible Feats Performed Every Day in Treating Soldiers on Battlefield. NINE-TENTHS PULL THROUGH Percentage of Losses Among the Wounded Striking Tribute to the Skill of Surgeon—Speed Important Factor. French Front—Almost incredible feats have been and are being accomplished every day of the war by the surgeons who treat soldiers wounded on the battlefield. These remarkable feats have increased in frequency, as the stricken men are more quickly gathered in by the ambulances and brought to the field hospitals for surgical intervention. At the beginning of the war it was not always possible to clear up a battlefield of the casualties in less than three or four days, and on many occasions wounded men waited even longer before their injuries could be handled. The result of this was that large numbers of the wounded succumbed from gangrene or blood poisoning, or were rendered so feeble from loss of that they were unable to undergo open surgery that were vitally necessary. It was at that time regarded as a satisfactory result when 60 percent of the wounded brought into the hospitals recovered eventually from the injuries. Nine-Tentha Are Saved. This percentage of losses among the wounded man would at present be regarded with horror by the military surgeons, who now reckon with perfect assurance in saving about nine-tenths of the wounded men coming under their treatment. During the battle of Flanders the percentage of recoveries among wounded men brought to the hospitals amounted to 88. This striking figure was still further improved on the occasion of the recent battle in which the French wrested from the Germans the fort of Malmaison and caused them to evacuate the Chemin des Dames after throwing away hundreds of thousands of the crown prince's best troops in the effort to retain it. The French surgeons' reports after the conclusion of the fighting and the treatment of all the wounded show that 90 men out of every 100 brought to the hospital recoverer from their injuries. Speed Important Factor. Speed in collecting the wounded is the greatest factor in bringing about this progress. Americans have had much to do with the speeding up of the ambulance service, for their ambulances have been present at every point where fighting has been severe, and their work has been highly praised by the army commanders. Americans have done much in providing hospital accommodation near the front as well as at the rear. One instance of American effort in providing for the accommodation and treatment of the wounded is that under the management of Miss Katherine Park of New York, at her chateau of Amel. There she has worked almost since the very beginning of the war. When the battle for the fort of Malmalson was in progress the hospital dealt with a considerable number of wounded, who were first bandaged on the battlefield and then brought down the River Aisne on board a barge fitted up as a floating hospital. Miss Park has working with her in conjunction with the American military surgeons a number of American physicians and all the anticipated in the handling of the French combat during the battle of Malmalson. Also, she has with her several American trained nurses and helpers. Among the doctors is George de Farnovsky of Chicago. "POP" IS BURIED IN WRECK Salvage From Sunken Steamer After 52 Years Found to Have "Rare Flavor." Sandusky, O.—Sarsaparilla "pop" made in Detroit was recovered from the wreck of the steamer Peeble and when sampled proved to be of as rare a flavor as the proverbial "old wine," according to F. L. Ermish, one of the wreckers. The peeble went down off Alpena, Mich in 187 feet of Lake Huron. Nearer water, nearly 52 years, the valuable attempts to get at her valuable energy had, until now, been marked by failure. Of $50,000 in paper money that was on the boat when she went to the bottom, all that has been recovered, Ermish says, is a piece of a $5 bill, Snake's Home in Belfry Laurel, Del.-A six-foot black snake fell from the beffry of the Riverton (Md.) Methodist church onto the shoulders of Benjamin F. Kennerly, the sexton, while he was ringing the bell. After a lively chase the snake was cornered in the church auditorium and killed. It evidently had made its home in the beffry and fed on birds which roost there. Defective Page RABBIT SAUSAGE IS LATEST Farmer' Wives in Oklahoma Are Advised to Turn Pest to Food Oklahoma City, Okla.—Jack rabbit sausage will be a new delicacy in Oklahoma as a result of the war. In fact a few farmers in the western part of the state last winter found a substitute as palatable as the real article. At a meeting of farmers' wives in Kloka county, Mrs. Ida Gregory, county woman agent, discused the efficacy of canning soy beans. (One woman suggested that the beans were hard to taste, and the raids of rabbits. This objection was quickly discounted by another woman, named: "Keep the rabbits away until your beans are a foot high; then get a potgun and let them comp. Last year we had jack rabbit sausage the season through. By mixing a bit of pork the sausage really is better than that mde entirely from pork." STEAL MORE CHINESE SEALS Prominent Official of the Republic Disappear With the Presidential Stamps. Peking—Peking is, much agitated over the disappearance of official seals. When President Li Yuan-hung was forced to give up the presidency, Gen Ting-Kwan, the keeper of the presidential seals, took them to Shanghai. Another prominent official has now disappeared with the seals of the house of representatives. When the attempt at monarchial restoration had been defeated and Premier Tuan Chijul declared the republic had been restored, there was much consternation because of the disappearance of the seals of the republic. Gen Ting Kwan was arrested in Shanghai, and after a hard legal struggle was brought back to Peking, together with the missing presidential seals, and is to have a hearing before a Chinese court. SCORNED, MAKES SPY CHARGE Widow Proves Undoing of Kampman, Formerly in German Consulate in Chicago. Los Angeles.—A scorned woman and an elderly one at that—proved the undoing of Dr. Maximillian Kampman, aged only twenty-eight, formerly of the German consulate in Chicago, who was arrested here on a presidential warrant as a German spy. At least so, doctor Dr. A. Kampman, "Angels, a 'year and a half ago' Doctor Kampman was treating a widow," said Doctor Ash. "He took a great deal of interest in trying to restore her health—so much so that it seemed she became infatuated with him. He tried to wave her aside, but in vain." WORKS FOR LIBERTY LOAN Copyright: Underwood & Underwood A striking example of the value of women in helping America in the great fight is Miss Antoinette Funk, a member of the woman's committee of the council of national defense. The photograph shows her hard at work in her office in the treasury building where she is doing wonderful work in the interests of the Liberty loan. She is executive vice-chairman of the women's Liberty loan committee, of which Mrs. McAdoo is the chairman. She was asked to take the post by Secretary McAdoo because of her powers of logical appeal, her ability as a speaker and her uniting activity in any work connected with the great cause for which America is fighting. Health of Dr. Michaelis Bad Amsterdam.—A Berlin telegram to the Rheinsche Westfalsische Zeitung of Essen says that the state of health of the German chancellor, Doctor Michaelus, "leaves very much to be doodled." USES PILLOW WORTH RANSOM Yankee Miner Slips $2,000,000 in Platinum Past the Russ Perils. IS NEEDED BY UNCLE SAM American Pluck Provides Government With Precious Metal Required for Making Explosives—Express Companies Refuse Job. San Francisco. — A fortune, for which king ofocks droom would have been delivered to the government, after having been carried half way around the world like so much junk. Sher Yankee pluck turned the trick. It was transported from the Ural mountains, in Russia, to the United States by F. W. Draper, an American mining engineer, who turned 21,000 ounces over to the department of commerce. The rare metal was carried in boxes, as Draper's luggage—a king's ransom at the mercy of every porter, baggageman and 'longshoreman in Russia and Japan. He Did the Incredible. "I got it safely through," explained the engineer, "because I did the incredible. No one would believe a man had so little sense as to lug a few million around like that. To have treated those boxes as precious would have meant to lose them—and probably my life as well. "It was just an interesting bit of practical psychology." His wife and four-year-old son accompanied him. On the railroads across lawless Russia and Siberia, under the nose of the irresponsible bolshevki, and past thousands who would have cracked his hands, he threw his wealth, Draper smuggled the precious gold, Express, companies, bad, refused to Express companies had refused to take the risk at any premium. "You'll never get it out of the country," they said. "Not with platinum worth almost its weight in diamonds." "Well, there it is," he said, kicking some old boxes on the San Francisco plier. "I've slept and eaten on those boxes for over a month. And when I wasn't sitting on 'em, my wife was. I've become quite accustomed to sleeping on a $2,000,000 pillow. And I want to say it was deedly hard on my head. "But while Mrs. Draper and I guarded the shipment carefully, we did it in a casual fashion that didn't arouse suspicion. Wants Softest Bed in Town. "Say," he added, "do you know where I can find the nicest, softest feather bed in town? The 21,000 ounces of platinum, badly needed in the manufacture of explosives and scientific and surgical purposes, was consigned to the secretary of commerce, who will supervise its distribution. Draper, whose home is in Boston, has spent the last six years as consulting engineer to a number of the largest Russian mining companies in the Ural mountains. He has been specially commended by the United States government for his courageous and highly valuable service to the nation. LOST FOR NINETEEN YEARS Box of First-Aid Material Made for Use in Spanish War Just Turns Up. Burr Oak, Mich.—After being on the way 19 years, a box was received by Capt. Charles P. Wheeler sent him by express by his mother. Captain Wheeler led a company of volunteers in the Spanish-American war in 1898, and while at Camp Alger, Don Loring, Va., his mother sent him a box weighing 70 pounds, containing first-aid material and medicine. Before the box arrived the company had moved to Cuba, and as the company moved so rapidly the box never caught up. On his return he tried to trace the box without success. Last week the box arrived from Philadelphia, being sent by Col. R. Hole of the Quartermaster corps, it presumably laid aside with other war material and finally brought to light. The contents of the box were in good condition, and Captain Wheeler has turned over the box to the Three Rivers camp of the Spanish-American Veterans to be disposed of for the benefit of the Red Cross. WILD ANIMALS LIVE ON HAY Large Herds of Game In the Colorado Forests Are Becoming Domesticated. Ouray, Colo.—The efficient protection given them by the state game commission and the United States forest service, in their efforts to preserve the deer, elk, antelope and mountain sheep that roam the Colorado forests has resulted in large herds of the animals becoming domesticated. It is no unusual sight in the towns bordering the Uncompaghore National forest to see many of these wild animals grazing in the village streets or approaching the inviting haystacks of some ranch for a feast. AS BADGE OF HONOR A silver miniature of the District of Columbia's jail door will be worn as a badge of honor by 97 suffragists who have "done time" for picketing the White House. They represent 20 states. The pins are about one by two inches and were presented to the pickets by Mrs. William Kent, wife of former Representative Kent of California. FOOD CARD FOR DOGS French Canines Are Likely to Be "Hooverized." Feeding Has Become Serious Problem —Great Shortage in Gasoline and Tobacco. Paris.—The dog population of the republic has been living, fighting and suffering with the human population in resisting the German octopus, and is now about to be restricted by "cards" along with the humans. The latest system to be announced is that, following the demands of the Agricultural Society of Moulus, the government is considering the introduction of a bread card for a card that will entitle dogs doing useful work for the country to their proportionate share of dog biscuit. Since the first of the month another discombinating scheme has taken effect. No gasoline can be sold, even for domestic uses, such as lighting, heating or cooking. The government stated energetic measures had to be taken, in view of the fact that the stocks of gasoline were almost exhausted and it would be dangerous to permit them to become further depleted. A ruder shock for the entire male population of France, which smokes almost to a man after reaching the age of twelve, came with the public news that there was no more tobacco news to be issued. Import English tobacco are still to be obtained in limited quantities, but the price is prohibitive to the average Frenchman. The reasons given for the tobacco shortage are the increased consumption by the soldiers in the trenches and the decreased production and importation, due to the lack of bottoms. A good deal has been said about the establishment of a tobacco card, but the government has suggested that the threat of voluntary rationing be first tried. The reason is unsuccessful nothing will remain but the addition of one more card to the rapidly growing list. URGES PATRIOTS TO EAT MORE CLAMS Portland, Ore.—"Eat clams." is the advice of Dr. C. H. Edmondson, assistant professor of zoology at the University of Oregon, to all patriotic Americans who are trying to conserve the nation's meat supply. He declares the clam is as palatable as the oyster and has a similar food value. Doctor Edmondson suggests the use of the clam in place of red meats, which the govern- ment is striving to conserve. This situation comes as the result of a survey under the direction of the United States bureau of fisheries. His object was to discover the edible species of shellfish, find where they may be obtained in quantities and to perfect a means of co-operating with those engaged in marketing this sea product.

Uncle Sam's Army and Navy Surgeons Dread Measles More Than Any Other Disease. Washington. — Fame and fortune await the man who can trace to its source that periodical bugbear of the army and navy—the measles and mumps epidemic. For some unknown reason, whenever troops are concentrated, either in large camps or on board ship, one of the first diseases to make its appearance is the measles, and this disease which most of us place in the category of childhood lilis, is one of the most dreaded by army surgeons. Symptoms of the disease appearing in any of the men is the signal for the immediate quarantining of the soldier's company and the barracks where he is located. Fumigation of the barracks then follows and every precaution is taken to prevent an epidemic. An after-effect of measles, greatly feared by army surgeons, is the development of pneumonia, and it has been found that the fatalities among mature persons are much greater than with children. The pneumonia result from even more prevalent in the cantonments in the southern states than in those of the North. Generally speaking, surgeons look for mumps at about the time that measles appear, and are rarely disappointed. The fatalities through mumps do not begin to reach the number of those by measles, but the same rigid quarantine is observed in both cases. For many years the best surgeons in the army have been working on theories that would eradicate the source of these diseases, but they have to admit that they are now no nearer a solution than ever before. This is the season of the year that the epidemics usually start, and it would not be surprising to hear of the quarantining of entire cantonment posts in all sections of the country through the holiday season. By Robert Adger Bowen of the Vigilantes. Nay, tell me not my sacrifice is less In that I have but one to give: That my torn heart is not so sensitive Because love counts its yearn- ing excess. Doth God a measure set for happiness? Doth deeper love in wider boundaries live? Are its commandments less imperative Where there is only one to serve and bless? Dear God, it ofttimes seems my heart must break— So do I live in him, my only son— So has he grown a very part of me! Ah! ye who think that greater numbers take The greater toll, remember that in one Has centered all my love's epitome! SAVE FUEL AND BE HEALTHIER Overheated Dry Air Makes Man Too Susceptible to Disease, Declares Physician. Washington.—Further: endorsement of the campaign of the United States fuel administration against overheating has been given by eminent physicians of the country. Dr. James J. Walsh, physician, doctor of philosophy, and author, said: "Pneumonia takes a little more than one man in eight and therefore has wrested from tuberculosis the grim honor of killing the most human beings. Man is a marine animal, seven-eights water. He needs cool air and surrounds him around. Overheated dry air makes him susceptible to disease. In a temperature of over 68 degrees it is difficult for men and women to resist infection. If Americans can be taught to live in this temperature the number of pneumonia cases will surely decrease. Fresh, cool, moist air is the foe of pneumonia and persons who keep their houses cool and breathe fresh, moist air need have no fear of it." SHOTES HELP KILL BRUIN Pennsylvania Boy Gets Able Assistance in Landing 250-Pound Black Bear. Warren, Pa.-Willie Hackensmildt, fifteen, of Salmon creek, came to town the other day with a 250-pound black bear on his farm wagon. "I couldn't have got him if it hadn't been for father's pigs," he explained. "I was out in the woods after rabbits when I heard one of the pigs squall. I ran toward the sound and when I got there a big black bear had one of the little squallers in his paws. The other squaller crazy. They were pawing the bear ear all over.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 12, 1918. OH, LORD HOW LONG! The press dispatches a few days ago told that in the State of Georgia, "night riders" are conducting a campaign of terror against colored men who are buying automobiles with the proceeds of their cotton crops. So serious has the situation become that one of the judges has instructed the grand jury in his district to investigate it thoroughly. For many years the system of renting land to colored men has been such that at the end of each year when settlements were made the poor farmers were so defrauded they had not enough to pay the unjust claims and they entered each new year in debt. Now that they are making money in spite of the many handicaps under which they labor, they are not allowed to use it as they choose, these "nightriders" taking car owners and severely whipping them and causing them to dispose of the cars. And this is the country where on of the inalienable rights is declared by its constitution to be "the pursuit of happiness." Oh, Lord, how long! AN AWFUL MESS In the course of the present inquiry into the conduct of the war, Republican members of the Senate committee on military affairs have been scrupulous to do nothing which would even remotely indicate a disposition to hamper or unduly to criticise the War Department in any of its activities. Yet, telling his story in his own way, Gen. Crozier has presented a condition of things which the most ghoulish of partisans could not have hoped to bring out—even if the investigation had been framed for that purpose. Months of delay, millions of added expense and almost total inadequacy of result are the items in the story. Small wonder that inquiring Senators are stupified by the revelations of inefficiency. Small wonder that the country is awaking to the seriousness of the situation in which we have been placed. CAN'T BEAT NELSON The President's counsel to Minnesota Democrats to join with the Republican in re-electing Senator Knute Nelson is a virtue born of necessity. The Senator had expressed a desire to retire to private life. No Democrat THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. stands a ghost of a show to succeed him. If he runs again and is elected by both parties, the Democrats have lost nothing. A real display of nonpartisanship by Democrats would be to abstain from contests in States which are normally Republican, but where there now happen to be Democratic Senators by reason of the divided Republican strength in 1912, which enabled Democrats to slip into office. When Mr. Wilson counsels the Democrats of his own State of New Jersey to make no contest for Senator next time, he will have given convincing evidence of his real desire for nonpartisanship in the elections during the war. The new 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.

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 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 yet 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." 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. 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, joyful people. --- who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or --- THIS ARMY MUST DO IT'S SHARE IN THE FIELD OR— CARTOON FURNISHED THIS NEWSPAPER BY MINNESOTA COMMISSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS ARMY CANNOT DO IT'S SHARE IN THE FIELD!! 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't 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't." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because 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—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. 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 THIS ARMY MUST DO IT'S S IN THE FIELD OR — CARTOON FURNISHED THIS NEWSPAPER BY MINNESOTA COMMISSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY. 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. 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: But my aunt's charwoman's sister's son Heard a policeman on his beat Tell a housemaid in Downing Street.

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. Defective Page That, necessity is the mother of invention, is being demonstrated daily during the war. The people are doing things they did not even dream of doing four years ago and doing without many things they deemed actually necessary to their existence. They are learning conservation, thrift and Hooverizing and when the war shall have ended, a consummation to be devoutly wished for, they will know more than ever before how to make both ends meet. This war has been, is, and will be, a great educator. The American Baptist, published at Louisville, KY, with its last issue, Friday, Jan. 4th, began its 42nd volume. Bro. Wm. H. Steward, its veteran editor, is to be congratulated upon his long editorial life as well as the long life of his paper which was published in Padneah, KY, from 1875 to 1879 as the Baptist Herald, but its name was changed to the American Baptist and has been published regularly ever since Jan. 1, 1879, in Louisville, KY. LYNCHINGS IN 1917. (From the Chicago Tribune.) The number of lynchings in 1917 shows a gratifying decrease, being 34, as compared with 58 in 1916.

There are two hundred thousand colored Catholics in the United States according to Walter McEntire, a prominent Catholic, who in the 19th century the orders and societies of men 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 an issue of Catechism Catholic Church as elsewhere. There are Catholic churches welcomed or forced to the altars but not now. In St. Joseph Church, New Orleans, a few seats in the rear are marked reserved for colored. The Cause of Migration (Atlanta (Ga.) Independent) (USA) (independent) When meat was 15c a pound and flour 8.5c a barrel, the colored laborer received from $8.00 to $8.00 a week. Now meat is 30c a pound and flour $16.00 a barrel, he is receiving 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 North and West are offering him living wages. If the white man 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. New President for Hampton Institute, New York, Dec. 23.—The Rev. James E. Gregg, a congregational minister of Pittsfield, Mass., has been appointed president of Hampton Institute to succeed the late Dr. H. B. Frizzel. 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 each person is 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. If 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-half of our families would use one pound of flour less each week, it would save 800,000 bushels of wheat, which could be sent to help feed our soldiers and those who are fighting by our side in this war. 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 My ear is pained My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart.

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, which bear interest and are redeemable in cash. In addition, to provide for redemption for these Thrift Stamps would involve them in detail of detailed accounting and labor and expense, to impair the practicability of their use. In fact, they would be more troub and expense to the Government poorly than they are worth. TAKE NOTICE!

Law of Subscription Few readers of newspapers fully and clearly understand the law governing subscriptions. Below are the decisions of the United States Supreme Court upon the subject: Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary when subscription expires, are considered as wishing to renew their subscription. If subscribers order a discontinuance of their periodicals the publisher may continue to send them until all dues are paid. If the subscriber continues to take the periodical from the postoffice to which it is directed., or receives it from the carrier, he is responsible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher and the papers are sent to the former address the subscriber is held responsible. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until express notice with payment of all arrearages is made Mr. J.

Has Gone to the Reward of Those Who Love the Lord. For about twenty years one of the most lovable and intelligent women of this country, Mrs. Elizabeth Satchell Morris, lived in St. Paul, making her home with her daughter, Mrs. T. R. C. Taylor, 925 E. Magnolia street. But, on last Tuesday night the summons came—that sooner or later comes to every human being—for her to leave this world of sin and sorrow and enter into the joys vouchetafed to the true followers of the lowly Nazarene. Mrs. "Lizzie" Morris was a daughter of a well known and distinguished divine, of his day, the Rev. Charles Satchell. He founded Baker Street Baptist church of Cincinnati, Ohio, which is still the leading Baptist church of the "Queen City" and is known as Mound Street Baptist church. Rev. Satchell was an earnest and indefatigible Christian worker, and, several times, made trips between Cincinnati and New Orleans, walking both ways and preaching the gospel as he went. He died full of years and honors. The deceased was born in Cincinnati seventy-nine years ago. She was educated at Wilberforce University and was united in marriage at Wilberforce, Ohio, in 1862, to Mr. Benjamin S. Morris of Louisville, Dr. in which city they resided for many years. Their union was blessed with four children of whom two survive, Mrs. Taylor and Rev. Charles Sattell Macmillan, D. D., the eloquent divine, who has a justly deserved and nation-wide reputation for his Christian character and oratorial ability, and is at the present time engaged by the National Congregational Evangelical Association as an evangelist at work at the various military cantonments throughout this country, who beovorably remembered by very many people who heard him speak in St. Paul, at the Capitol the Auditorium and several churches last year, when he visited the Twin Cities and conducted evangelistic meetings for several weeks. At present he is traveling in the South laboring in the Master's vineyard. The deceased spent many years of her life as a school teacher at Wilberforce University, at Leland University, near New Orleans, and in the public schools of Louisville. She was a Sunday School teacher for forty years. Her funeral will be held at Memorial Baptist church on tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. T. J. Carr officiating, assisted by Rev. B. N. Murrell. Lyles, funeral director; interment at Forest cemetery. COMIC OPERA." Under Auspices of One More Effort Club at St. James Church.

For several weeks the committee of management of the Patriotic Entertainment has been pushing a campaign of publicity for the entertainment that again demonstrated the fact that it pays to advertise; and, if anyone had any doubts along that line, the magnificent crowd that jammed the Armory last Tuesday evening, dispelled them. The members of the committee may well congratulate themselves upon their splendid success in bringing together such a large crowd of orderly, well behaved, well dressed and happy people. The program presented was about as follows: Patriotic selections, Nelson's Orchestra; Invocation, Rev. G. W. Camp; Opening, Atty. W. F. Francis, Master of Ceremonies; National Anthem, Orchestra and Audience, led by Mr. Charles H. Miller; Address, Secretary of State, Julius A. Schmalt; Song and Chorus, "Somewhere in France is a Lilly," C. H. Miller and his military girls: Mrs. S. E. Hall, Mrs. Eleanor Smith, Mrs. Gladys Brown, Mrs. Helen Davenport, Miss Lucielle Elliott and Miss Marle Gardner; Address, Red Cross, Mrs. B. N. Murrell; Address, Hon. Daniel W. Lawler; Song, Mrs. Gladys Brown; Address, Postmaster Otto N. Raths; Address, Mr. Lawrence C. Hodgson; Address, Atty. Wm. R. Morris; Address, Atty. B. S. Smith; Star Spangled Banner, Orchestra and Audience. Every number on the program was well given, the singing was fine and the addresses could not have been improved upon; they were all splendid not of a hearty response in the hearts of the audience. We were deservedly applauded. During the excises a letter received from Atty, Charles W. Scratchins, the great lawyer of Bemidji, was read by Mr. Francis. After the exercises dancing was indulged in to the dulcet strains of Nelson's excellent orchestra. Prof. Nelson was very gracious in responding encores of the delighted terpsichorems of the early morn when the strains of Hope Sweet Home" were wafted to the curriculars of dancers and they reluctantly left the floor, donned their wraps and sought their motor cars. The committee of management that is entitled to the credit for the splendid entertainment is as follows: C. E. Jones, chairman; Thos. Lewis, vice chairman; Geo. L. Lee, secretary; Kelsey S. Chase, president of Peoples Bank, treasurer; J. W. Milton, Roiley Beard, S. M. Lewis and W. F. Williams. The committee was assisted by Mesdames Maud Hoage, Bessie Lucas and Florence Johnson, of the Red Cross at the punch bowl; Mrs. Kennedy in the ladies' rest room; Mesdames J. W. Milton and O. H. Allen in the refreshment room; Misses Martha Johnson, Marguerite Jones and Martha Lucky as candy kiss sellers; Messrure Jackson, R. S. Harris, F. D. McCracken, B. Tandy and last but by no means lead the ubiquitous, efficient* and indispensable Charles H. Miller, general manager, to each and every one of whom the committee tenders grateful thanks. The reports of the ticket committee are not all in but the net proceeds are considerably over $200.00, which will be turned over to the representatives of the Red Cross.

Here are a few pointers in reference to it: Mrs. Frank Boyd, the general chairman, says there shall be nothing left undone that will give pleasure to the people. Mesdames Mason and Hicks' Lady Minstrels are perfect this year and are chuck full of new jokes for all. Mesdames Ida Broyles and Mary Moore will have charge of the punch and say it will have the same delicious flavor. Mr. O. C. Hall, the floor manager, says he will see to it that every one has a proper chance to dance and enjoy the occasion. The three grand prizes this time will be well worth the trial of any contestants to win them. There will be twenty-six beautiful ladies in attendance to see that every one has a good time. You can't afford to miss this first grand fun ball of the season. If you meet Mr. J. E. Glass with his pockets bulged out, it won't be money, but advertising matter for the grand ball. Just watch your step, this is to be some ball! IDA M.
