MAKES DIVE OF 10,000 FEET Aviator Reaches Ground Safety Although all the Wires on His Machine Are Loosened — Spend Holiday in Air. Washington.—Word picture of the work of the members of the Lafayette Squadron and other American aviators in France are given in letters which Dr. Charles D. Waltcott, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, has received from his son, E. S. Waltcott, whose airplane fell "somewhere behind the German lines" along the western front. The allusions to the work of the American aviators contained in these letters are all the more interesting at this time in view of the fact that the men about whom Walcott wrote have just been commissioned in the American air service on the recommendation of General Pershing. Doctor Walcott has received a dispatch from Paris informing him that his son fell within the enemy lines December 12 while fighting three single-seaters, after having demolished an enemy two-seater, and that his fate is uncertain. Inquiries are being made to ascertain, if possible, from Germany whether young Walcott was seriously injured or not. In a letter dated November 13, in response to an inquiry about Campbell, an aviator from Chicago, who was rested, young Walcott wrote as follows: "Campbell was in the Lafayette Escadrille, and they are a member of the same group as Squadron 84, so I have asked them about him. He was on a patrol with another chap; they attacked some Boches, and when it was over the other chap was alone. Campbell was brought down in German territory and so reported missing. I believe the chap he was with has seen and talked to Campbell's father or some close relative since. "Another chap named Bulkely was brought down in similar circumstances about the 1st of September. Ten days ago word was received from the American embassy that he had communicated with them, a prisoner in Germany. "There are many similar cases where men brought down with crippled machines, or wounded, escaped destruction by a miracle. The only something is when a machine goes down in flames or is seen to lose a wing or two." "For instance, there are two officers in the group who are in the best of health and daily working. Several months ago they were on patrol together and collided in the air. One machine cut the tail rigging completely off the other plane, and then they separated, one plane without a tail and the other machine with various parts of a tall mixed among the cables and struts of one side of his machine. They both landed in France, one on his wheels, followed by a capotage, or somersault turnover, the other quite unsteady up side down. Then a term in the hospital, and back they are again. "Kenneth Marr, an American and a friend of Pet's, had the commands of both his controls cut in a combat, the rudder and elevator, leaving him nothing but the aileron, the lateral balance control, and the motor. He landed with only a skinned nose for casualties, and got a decoration for it. Dives Vertically 10,000 Feet. "Another chap, in an attack on captive balloons, dived for something like 10,000 feet vertically and with full motor on, thereby gaining considerable speed, as you can imagine. He came right on top of the balloon, shot and, to keep from hitting it, yanked as roughly as he could, flattening out his dive in the merest fraction of a second. Imagine the strain on the mast when he got hurt, the wires had several inches in the thorns the metal connections of the cables into the struts and wood of the wings had bit into the wood enough to give the sag. "Machines are built to stand immense pressure on the under side of their wings. In some acrobatic maneuvers I was trying the other day I made mistakes and caused the machine to stall and then fall in such a way that the full weight was supported by the upper surface—by the wires which in most machines are supposed merely to hold the machine on the course when the machine on the course "Yes, the Spad is a well-built machine, the nearest thing to perfection in point of strength, speed, and climbing power I've seen yet. Of course, it's heavy, and why why they put 150-250 horse power in them. The other school, that of a light machine with a light motor, depending for its success on lack of weight rather than excess of power, may supplant the heavier machine in time; I can't tell. "Yesterday there was a review in honor of Guynemer, and decorations for the pilots of the group who had the Croix de Guerre Americans received the Croix de Guerre Lafayette Escadrille. Lufbery, the American ace, carried the American flag presented to the escadrille by Mrs. McAdou and the employees of the treasury department, besides the two aviation emblems of France. He was called to receive his decoration for having in the course of one day held seven combatts, descended (six) one German plane in flames, and forced five others to land behind their lines, (which means that he is officially credited with one—his thirteenth—and that the other five, though probably brought down, do not count for him because there were not the necessary witnesses required by the French regulation. "Aviators are not very military. The chief of one of the escadrilles was commissioned to command the mechanics, are plain soldiers with rifles and steel weapons, for the occasion. He is a bit of a man, and amused the entire gathering, kidding about the officers. The plots of each of the five escadrilles were in more or less formation of them with hands in their pockets, for it was chilly, and presenting a mixture of uniforms unparalleled in its heterogeneity. Every branch of the service represented endless personal ideas in dress. "Spent Their Holiday in the Air. "Because of the occasion, repose had been granted to the entire group for the afternoon, another group taking over our patrols. So that after the review every one had the afternoon to waste—a sunny day, which is quite unusual this month. Within a half hour every machine that was in working order was in the air, forming into groups and then off for the lines, just looking for trouble—voluntary patrol, they call it. It opened my eyes a bit as to the spirit in the French aviation service after three years of war." In another letter, written December "I tried to give you some idea of the strength of a Spad in a letter a while ago. At home people speak of a factor of safety, meaning the number of times stronger the machine is than is necessary for plain flying. The Spad is made so that he can't 'bust' it, no matter what he does in the air—dive as far and as fast as he can and stop as brutally as he can, it stands the racket. Of course, motors do stop, and if it happens over a mountain range—well, that's hard luck. "Have had a few patrols since last I wrote. One at a big height—4,000 to 4,500 meters, considerably above the clouds, which almost shut out the ground below; a wonderfully beautiful sight, but beastly cold—and a couple when the clouds were low and solid. The patrol stays at just the height of clouds, hiding in them, slipping out of the air. If it stays below the enemy surrounds gusp们 it whenever near the lines, and at a low altitude that is rather awkward, the patrol shows itself as little as possible. "I lots of sport to try to keep with the patrol; be behind the chief of patrol, see him disappear, and then bump into a fog bank, a low-hanging cloud, and not see a darn thing. Then dive down out of the cloud, wondering whether the other guy is right underneath or not; dart out of the cloud and see him, maybe 500 yards away, going at right angles. The back up and turn around fast and give her the gear —full speed to catch up—and so on. See a Boche regulating artillery fire, start to maneuver into range, and, zip; he's out of sight in the clouds, and the next you see he is beating it far back of his lines. Not very dangerous this weather, but lots of fun." In a letter from the front, dated November 80, the following passages occur: "Yesterday was Thanksgiving day, and praises bet the Lafayette bunch invited me and my partner to dinner, or rather to the feast. They have the most remarkable chef. Soup and fish prepared the way for a most remarkably big bird called the turkey, barricaded by chestnuts. And then a plum pudding—a regular American one—and as good as I ever tasted. I sat at the table with Captain Thenault, Lieutenants Thaw and Lufbery, and some Frenchmen. "An early patrol this morning, despite low clouds. Lots of fun it was, ducking in and out of the clouds, keeping from hitting other machines in the clouds and from losing the patrol. Saw a few Boches, but all they had to do was to slip up out of sight when the enemy approached. Now, also their antisurface guns would blaze away a bit, but there was lots of room for them to miss and for us to leave the place they were shooting at." USES OVERCOAT AS BANK Negro Proves Ownership to Garment by Disclosing Location of Saving. New York—Monroe Smith, a negro, insisted in the court of special sessions that he had not stolen the overcoat of Leslie Davis while he entertained Davis in his home. Smith said the coat was his own property and he had a right to pay it. "I can prove I own the coat," said Davis. "There is nine dollars sewed in the lining." Promptly the justice ordered the lining ripped open and the money was found. KILL DEER TO REDUCE COST Chippewa Falls Park Board Forced to Slay Because of Cost of Keep. Chippewa Falls, Wis.—An increase in the hard of deer at the public park in this city and an increase in the cost of food for the animals, has caused the park board to have five of the deer slain, and the venson placed on sale in one of the markets. Permission to kill the deer had to be obtained from the state conservation commission. Minnesota Historical Society APH EAPOLIS. MINN.. SATU AN AIRPLANE CAMERA THE APPEAL This type of camera which no doubt will be used by American aviation corps men for reconnaissance work is attached to the airplane and is operated by the pulling of strings or the pressing of buttons. The camera is almost automatic, as everything can be set in advance and the entire operation of taking the picture is the pressing of the button or the pulling of the strings. The camera makes an almost perfect view of the terrain and will be invaluable in the reconnaissance work of the army. The camera is loaded with plates and a number of pictures can be taken successively without additional work. A British royal flying corps man is in the machine. MARS AND STORK COMBINE Male Predominate in Denver Since the United States Entered the War. Denver, Colo.—That old man Mars, the god of war and destruction, has a working agreement with that humble and beloved bird, the stork, to leave baby babies instead of little sisters on his visits to Denver homes since the United States entered the struggle against Germany, is claimed by those who date on vital statistics in this city. John W. Flintham, deputy health commissioner of Denver, has compiled figures showing that of the 1,861 children born here from January 1 to August 1, of this year, 1,141 were boys. Several physicians maintain that male children are more numerous during war times than at any other period, and say that during the past six months five out of every eight children born have been boys. And, despite the fact that she would prefer to see suffragists increasing, Dr. Alice T. Moore reports that of the last 54 babies she has ushered into the world, 48 have been boys. Through the operation of the annex, the committee regularly realizes a neat sum, which is being steadily forwarded to the French villagers. $45,000 PEARLS ARE SOUGHT Package Containing 535 Gems Stolen From Vessel Which Recently Arrived at New York. New York.—A search of New York city pawshops is being made by Pinkerton detectives for $45,000 worth of pearls which were stolen from a French ship that arrived on November 26. There were 353 pearls in the missing package, of which the three largest weighed between 25 and 28 grains each. The others weighed from one to three grains each. It is said that the pearls were sent by a Paris dealer to one here; that to avoid an extra rate the shipper did not reveal to the company the character of the shipment, and that it was not placed in the ship's strong room. LAST OF HORSE CAR LINES Electricity Displaces Horse Drawn Vehicle on Line Between Kansas Towns. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.-The last horse car line in Kansas, and one of the last in the West, has quit business. It has been in operation for thirty years, between this city and Strong City, Kan. The horse car line will be replaced with a single electric car, and while the track is being relaid to accommodate the heavier equipment, a back is taking care of the business. ITALY IS MAKING SLACKERS FIGHT Minister of Treasury Routs Out 148 Officers and Sends Them to Front. SEARCH IS ON FOR OTHERS Great Disaster to Cadornat's Army May Be Blessing in Disguise—Volunteers in Minority—Deserters Are Shot. By PHILIP B. MACKENZIE Rome—On the eve of the great war, while General Cadorna was hard at work creating the Italian army destined to unite Trent and Trieste with the kingdom 148 officers of all ranks, from colonels to sub-leutenants, were given special work. This work consisted in finding out how much money was wasted during the Tripoli war. A corridor in the ministry of the treasury accordingly was set apart for these officers, who during the last three years have been auditing accounts and taking their time in doing it, while their comrades fought the Austrians and were wounded or killed in action. There is every reason to believe that the treasury of auditing the accounts of the Tripoli war have been prolonged indefinitely, but the minister of the treasury, Signor Nitti, discovered the 148 officers hidden in the corridor. Royal Decree la Issued. Signor Nitti was disgusted at the sight of so many professional officers calmly working on the four simple rules of arithmetic, and in 24 hours he had the case brought before a cabinet council and a royal decree was issued postponing the work of the 148 officers, who were ordered without delay to the front. No figures are available as to the number of men physically fit yet exempted from active military service. Cases of so-called "imbocamento", meaning literally "hiding in bushes" to evacuate military service, have been repeated. The socialists, who oppose the war and whose peace propaganda contributed toward the recent military disaster, repeatedly told the masses that in Italy the war was being fought by the peasants. The rich people do not fight, said the socialists, as when one has money he can easily "hide in the bush." The sons of well-to-do tradesmen and farmers as a rule, are drivers of motor lorries and ambulances, and those of upper middle classes and nobility, who should be officers, often prefer to drive staff officers' automobiles unless they succeed in getting clerical work in office from the front. It is less likely that young men volunteered for active service as officers in infantry regiments and sacrificed their lives for their country, but they were a minority. It must be admitted that up to the present the mistaken impression prevailed that the hardest share of fighting was borne by the peasant and laboring classes, who suffered most of all from the war. This impression increased to such an extent that a great proportion of the men who returned on short leave from the front felt discouraged and dissatisfied when they realized that every city and town in the country was crowded with young men who evaded military service or who even if called to the colors succeeded in remaining away from the front and saw no actual fighting. Some Deserters Are Shot. Some Deserters Are Shot. As a result, besides those men who were required to fight when their short leave exploded, they were justified in deserting. Some of them were armed in court-martialed and shot, and their comrades were not impressed with such exemplary punishment, which, instead of serving as a warning, had the opposite effect of exciting pity and provoking dangerous comparisons between the fate of those who evaded military service and that of others who had done their bit and yet paid with their lives for a moment of weakness. There were, no doubt, other concomitant causes that contributed to weaken resistance on the Italian front when the well planned Austro-German offensive was timely initiated. Thanks to their superior intelligence systems at the front and their esplonage system in this country the Austro-Germans knew where and when to attack with success. They resorted to propaganda among the Italian troops holding positions where no fighting had been going on for a long time. It is known that of the after the riot at Tewkesbury that the munition workers who were socialists had been sent to the front and attached to the units holding these positions. It was among these men that the enemy propaganda was successful, and the deficient resistance, due to weakness or treachery, that rendered the invasion of Italy possible originated at a point which could be easily defended by a handful of men, as it was naturally strong and formidably justified because it afforded the shortest way for invasion. Unfortunately the men who held this point gave way. Monana, Iowa—Everett Newcomb, an eleven-year-old farm boy, walked barefoot in his night gown from his home to town, one mile, aleep, and was none the worse for the experience when awakened. Defective Page JUNITTEE OF PUBLIC REMARKS WOMEN OF PRINCETON ADOPT ENTIRE VILLAGE Princeton, N. J.-The committee of women in charge of the Rose Cottage tea house annex, which provides lodging and meals at very reasonable rates, have "adopted" the little village of St. Paul-aux-Bois in the Alse region of France. In the great drive on Paris in 1914 the Germans swept through the little village, which was held in the grasp of the invaders until the retreat after the battle of the Somme. The 575 inhabitants were left destitute. 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—Lauded 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 sailors as he told of a trawler skipper who, with both legs shot off and most of his crew killed or 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 trawler. The story thrilled 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 Skipper Thomas Crisp, R. N. R., 10,005, D. A. (killed in action), and the Distinguished Service medal has been awarded to Second Hand Thomas William Crisp, R. N. R., O. N. 4,332, D. A. "These two men are father and son, 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. Submarine Is Sighted. "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 into the water, 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 skipper 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 snack, 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 skipper, 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 skipper, all of the time he was pouring into the ship and she was sinking. One man, the gunlayer, went to the skipper to see if he could render first aid, but it was obvious that he was mortally wounded. "It's all right, boy, do your best," said the skimmer, and then, to the second hand, "Send a message off." This was the message: Nelson being attacked by submarine. Skimmer killed. Send assistance at once. With the skimmer sitting and only five rounds of ammunition to the skimmer, who was lying there on the deck, and heard him say, 'Abandon ship. Throw the books oxerboard.' Down With His Vessel. "He was asked then if they should lift him into the boat, but his answer was: Tom. I'm done; throw me overboard. 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 them out of their course. They pulled all day, fastening a pair of trousers and a large piece of olliskin to two oars to attract attention. Once a vessel was sighted, and once a group of men had out of sight. At night the weather became finer. Through the night they pulled, until daybreak, and at half-past ten 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." OPENS THEATER NEAR BIG TRAINING CAMP Camp Gordon, Ga.—To provide more entertainment for the Sammies in the cantonment here from New York and other sections east and north and from some southern states, Jake Wells, manager of the Atlantic theater showing Keith's vaudeville, will soon have completed a big theater near the camp, and it is stated that the show house will be in operation within a few weeks. Popular prices will prevail. GAVE COMMAND FOR FIRST SHOT AT KAISER Roodhouse, Ill.-Central Illinois has the distinction of giving to Uncle Sam the man who ordered the first American shell fired against the Germans in France. He is Maj. John R. Starkey of this city. And it was an Irish "Sammie" from Indiana who fired the first shot. Major Starkey designated the gun and the gunner who sent the first historic shrapnel at the kaiser. Word to this effect has been received here by relatives in a letter from the hero. When the war broke out the major was detailed to Gen. John J. Pershing's command and is now serving with "Black Jack" "over there." Carpenter Asks Damages From Construction Company Because of Accident. Camp Funston, Kan.-If a one-eyed man is driving a nail and the head files off and hits him in his glass eye, breaking it, is he entitled to damages for "injuries" That is the question that is bothering the Fuller Construction company, camp officials and Louis Scudder, a carpenter of Topeka. Scudder worked for the Fuller Construction company, building the Funston cantonment. Scudder went to the company doctor, who examined the eye, took out the broken glass, but found no cuts. "Don't I get damages for injuries?" demanded Scudder. "I'll take it up with the company," the doctor answered. "Well, I'll go down to Topeka and get another glass eye before I go back to work," said Scudder. LEASE OUT WOMAN CONVICTS Action of County Commissioners in Alabama Making Legista- tic Action Mobile, Ala.-At the next session of the state legislature a measure will probably be introduced looking to prohibiting counties from leasing woman convicts. A sensation was recently created when the Eschembia county commissioners leased negro women prisoners to a contractor for 15 cents a day, for a term of two years. For years male prisoners have been leased to min operators and other employers of labor, but this was the first instance where women had been leased. Until the war made a strong demand for labor there was no market for the negro woman prisoners. But in certain lines of work it has been found they have a small earning capacity and other counties will probably follow the lead of Eschembia. KING OF THE BELGIANS Copyright erwood & Underwood This unusual photo is probably the most characteristic ever made of the hard-working king of the Belgians. He is busily engaged on some important piece of business in the simple little room that is his headquarters not far from the front lines. From here he directs the troops of the little nation whose entry into the war prevented Germany from overrunning all western Europe. "DRY SHAMPOO" IS FORBIDDEN British Hairdressers and Patrons Latest Victims of Defense of Realm Act. London.—The defense of the realm act, which has been nicknamed "Dora," has now come in for abuse from hairdressers, owing to new restrictions on the use of alcohol. This measure has become necessary in consequence of the enormously increased demand for munition and Red Cross needs. Dry hair and red hair, lotions are all threatened by the latest order or "Dora." As the use of methylated spirit for burning also is forbidden, forced-draft oil stoves which cannot be lighted except by the aid of spirit are made useless.

CONTROL OF FOOD WILL WIN Now a Case in Which "the Dog Has Begun to Bite the Pig" Says Writer—Something Rotten in Germany. London.—How America's entry into the war has hurt Germany is the subject of an interesting article in the Birmingham Post by Edgar Wallace, author and military correspondent. It is now a case in which "the dog has begun to bite the pig," he says. "It is as well," Mr. Wallace writes, "to separate the causes of the present German offenses from the circumstances which have made them possible. We know that the stagnation of the Russian front allows the Germans to employ in the west troops which, were the Russian army an active factor in the war, could not have been employed; we know that the Italian army lost nearly 300,000 men in the course of fighting of the last month; but notices of those exploits the German offensive plan. For example, the push against the Isozone was obviously uninfluenced by Italian losses—because they had not occurred. The push against Italy was and is part of the great scheme which would certainly have been carried out even if Russia had remained loyal to the alliance. "Reason Is 'America '" "The reason is summed up in the word 'America.' I do not particularly refer to the forces which America will put into the field. The German general staff, I am certain, has no particular fear that sufficient American troops will be put into the field next year to secure a decision against Germany. I doubt very much whether the German is worrying at all about what will happen in the field in the summer of 1918. But he is tremendously concerned over what will happen in Germany-between May and August of that year unless he can break the fighting spirit of the entente during the forthcoming months of the winter. "It is no secret that Germany had been drawing large supplies of food and necessary raw material from America, vih neutral countries. America, in turn, had supplied the necessary of business, just as she supplied Britain with material in the way of business, and strictly in the way of business the neutral countries had been passing on their imports to Germany. "And so this jolly war might have gone on whilst Germany's credit abroad held—only America came in. She declared war, she called millions of men, she reorganized her industries to meet the demands of war—and then she sat down to take a good look at the neutrals. And they seemed unnecessarily bloated. They did their best to engage her sympathy. And they had little bread and potato riots just to show there no deception. "But America understood. She said very simply, 'Feed yourselves, you big stuff!' (if the picturesque vulgarity be allowed). "In the old nursery rhyme, when the stick began to beat the dog, the dog began to bite the plig. If the neutral has no food to spare and cannot buy any in America, the German cannot buy food from the neutral. In fact, the dog has begun to bite the plig. The neutrals have no right to complain. Something Rotten in Germany. "So many millions of tons of food-stuffs which came to Germany once in the dear dead days are not coming any more. She is that much shorter of food. We do not know for certain the conditions of Germany's food reserves. That there is something rotten there we know from the curious attitude of Bulgaria. "But if the German, with which the supplies he was securing from the neutral, was short in the spring of 1917, what will be his position in the spring of 1918, when the new American embargo becomes fully operative? We think it will be fairly bad. The German crops were poor—as were all the world's. "Nobody but a perfectly insane person or a statistician—who will believe anything—imagines that the world shortage of food does not affect Germany. It does affect her very seriously. It will affect her worse this year than it did last. "Food is going to decide this war. The fact that the German censor has closed down all reference to food difficulties and coal shortages is significant. The things that Germans do not talk about are the things that matter. If we are witnessing the beginning of a series of offensives in the west and the opening of a new campaign, that Germans have said before, it hunger offensive, and the plan dates from that day when America decided that it was a good idea to ration the neutrals, but they would have to find the rations themselves. "If my theory is sound and well founded we should look to the collapse of the war in June or July. I do not say if the German does not break us now and August. He won't break us in the field or starve us in our homes." No. 301-2 Court Block, 24 E. 4th st. J. Q. ADAMS, Manager. MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE No. 2812 Tenth Avenue South J. N. SELLERS, Manager.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. 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 "night riders" 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 inquiries 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.

If he runs again and is elected by both parties, the Democrats have lost nothing. A real display of non-partisanship 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 non-partisanship in the elections during the war. WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES. The new war savings certificates will bear 4 per cent interest, will run for a term of five years and will be issued in denominations as low as $5. They are to be just what their names indicate, "savings" certificates, a means of investment for small savings, so that the money will be safe and profitable and at the same time affording the government the use of it. It is planned to sell the certificates to the public on the installment plan by using stamps that may be purchased and pasted in a book for that purpose. When there are sufficient stamps to cover the cost of a certificate the book can be exchanged for one. The stamps will be placed on sale in every town and city in the country. The individual who has money laid by for a rainy day need have no hesitation in converting it into war savings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing interest at 4 per cent. Under this arrangement the investor in these certificates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency should arise in his family, such as sickness or death, he could immediately realize upon his certificates. It is a safe prediction that the war savings certificates will go like "hot cakes." Their small denomination, the good interest rate, the terms upon which they may be purchased, the fact that they are not subject to taxation when held by persons of small means—all will make them an attractive investment. Working people whose margin of income above expenses is narrow at best will find in them an excellent incentive for beginning the prudent habit of saving. They will be popular for Christmas presents. School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates. As a result many millions will be transferred to the Federal Treasury and through it will flow into the channels of trade, while the people of small means will be made to feel that they, too, are doing their share toward helping their country win the war. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy ev THE MAN W I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgme the countenances I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. e when we should wards out of men. is climbed on pro- seen raised against and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. must speak and right the wrongs of for Wilcox. ery civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor 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 human itarian and, above all, uncompromis ingly 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, jovial people. WHO DARES in who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ent, may condemn, of relatives may be NOW, MY MAN! YOU HAVE A HAPPY LITTLE FAMILY, A COMFORTABLE HOME AND FREEDOM. YOU CAME HERE AND WERE WELCOME. DON'T YOU THINK YOU OWE ME YOUR Loyal SUPPORT? CARTOON FURNISHED THIS NEWSPAPER BY THE MINNESOTA COMMISSION OF PUBLIC SAFETY. 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 war at war, Mr. MacMillan said. It means "run amuck; gone clean crazy." The Eskimos believe that all the white man nations have gone "piblocko." "I tried to explain," Mr. MacMillan said, "that the war started because 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—the 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 CARTOON FURNISHED THIS NEWSAPER BY MINNESOTA COMMISSION OF PUBLIC SALES IT'S TIME TO SHOW 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. "Every Week," published by The Crowell Company, Springfield, Ohio, in its issue of December 31, 1917, devoted a page to a half dozen colored women who were evidently thought to be worthy of such consideration. Splendid cuts of these women were done in sepia brown coloring and artistically arranged. The women were: Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Miss Blanche Deas, Miss Keating, Mad. C. J. Walker, Miss Margaret Robinson and Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. Something very nice was said of each of the ladies and they looked as though they fully deserved all that was said of them. The A. M. E. Ministers of Washington, D. C., have sent the President a petition asking clemency for the five other colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry, recently sentenced to death for participation in the Houston, Texas, mutiny. In their petition the ministers say that there are extenuating circumstances which they believe should merit executive clemency. We hope the President will see it that way. In Middletown, Conn., a Congregational, a Baptist, and a Methodist church have voted to unite and worship for three months to save coal. The example set by these churches could be followed by the churches in many large cities. 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. The subjoined table, showing the annual number during the last thirty-two years, will be of interest to those who are making a special study of the subject: 1885 ..... 184 1902 ..... 96 1886 ..... 138 1903 ..... 104 1887 ..... 122 1904 ..... 87 1888 ..... 142 1905 ..... 60 1889 ..... 176 1906 ..... 60 1890 ..... 127 1907 ..... 65 1891 ..... 191 1908 ..... 100 1892 ..... 205 1909 ..... 87 1893 ..... 200 1910 ..... 74 1894 ..... 190 1911 ..... 71 1895 ..... 171 1912 ..... 64 1896 ..... 171 1912 ..... 48 1897 ..... 106 1914 ..... 54 1898 ..... 127 1915 ..... 98 1899 ..... 107 1916 ..... 58 1900 ..... 115 1917 ..... 34 1910 ..... 130 The number of lynchings in the various states was as follows: Ala. 1, Georgia. 1, Arizona. 1, Florida. 1, Georgia. 1, Kentucky. 1, Louisiana. 1, Mississippi. 1, Mon.

(From the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans, La.) There are two hundred thousand colored people in the United States according to Walter F. McEntire, a prominent Catholic, in telling of 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 constituentity a that white dress; the color issue is drawn completely in the Catholic Church as elsewhere. There was a time when 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. The Cause of Migration (Atlanta (Ga ) Independent) When meat was 15c a pound and flour $8.00 a barrel, the colored 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 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.

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, which bear interest and are redeemable in cash. In addition, to provide for redemption for these Thrift Stamps would involve such a amount of detailed account 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. TAKE NOTICE!

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 the subscriber 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. 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.
