The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. or a big pontoon. It was on pontoon bridges that the Italians entered the city and this wreck was one of the remnants of that crossing. The big railroad bridge was lying in a wreck from artillery fire. Further on was the massive stone bridge, with one of its arches broken to pieces. Near these bridges lie several more per mills, where paper is made for government notes. All these mills were masses of ruins, with a few tall chimneys still standing among the debris. Goritz itself was under the rain of terrific bombardment, for the full force of the great offensive was now only a few hours off. And yet with the imminent danger many persons still clung to their homes and belongings with that same tenacity which makes the Vesuvian peasants cling to the mountainside when the volcano is raging and threatening to bury them. But most of these people on the streets are the poor who could not get away and the small shopkeepers who cannot afford to abandon their goods. The big stores are all closed the place has an air of a deserted city, with only a few strangers bringing up the people. Goritz is far out 20,000 people, but only 5,000 of these make only a scattered showing in the wide main street fringed on either side with its shell-torn fronts. It was raining hard and this added to the lugubrious spectacle. Entering the city we passed the extensive Jesuit establishment where 600 seminarians are located. One corner was knocked off, the cornices were hanging and several big holes told where the shells had found a mark. The main contour of the street was preserved and the buildings were intact as a whole, but every second or third had seen hit, some collapsing entirely, others with their front wall gone and their upper rooms with household goods showing from the street. But the great area of completely leveled debris, Volcan or Monastr, the outlines of a city were still there, but it was a city sieved by bombardment. The trip to the citadel was the event of the day. This is a huge pile, with old-time moat and battlements and a great tower dominating the whole country for miles around. Here we were to view Mount Gabriel, Mount Micael, the Bianisizza plateau and the whole range of ground which had passed through this upheaval. It was uphill to the citadel. Everything showed the havoc of long continued fire. In one great court there was a pretty little chapel which had come through the ordeal untouched, though all around was a wreck. Once upon the battlements a commanding, view was ahead. There was one point of vantage where this view was particularly good, known as the observation post. We halted a moment, about to enter the post, but others wished to push on to the very front of the wall, and this view prevailed. It was a most fortunate decision, as we soon after had reason to know. On the battlements a splendid view stretched for miles over this battleground of mountains, valleys and plains, with the city walls clustered below and the roads winding off through the valleys and foothills. There in front was Mount Gabriel, this side held by the Italians, the other by the Austrians. "There runs the dividing line," said the escort, pointing to a line of trees and depressions near the summit. The Italian trenches could be plainly seen, but there was no need of indicating a dividing line, for the bursts of smoke along one side of the summit and the answering bursts from the other side told where the line was. Off to the left was Mount Michael, once swept by shell fire, but now green again. Nestled in a hollow was the convent of St. Catarina. The Blanlizza plateau was off to the left, and through the mist were the dlm out. UNCLE SAM'S PHOTOGRAPHER Sergt. Leon H.

NO 7 GORITZ TORN TO PIECES IN LAST GERMAN DRIVE Correspondent Sees Shell-Battered City Just Before the Italians Retreated. PAINTS PICTURE OF RUIN Newspaper Men Have Narrow Escape as They Watch Artillery Battle—Outlines of City Still There, but it Is a City Sieved by Bombardment. Headquarters of the Italian Army, Northern Italy.—Gortiz is a symbol, "On to Gortiz" was the cry of the fate of Aosta's soldiers as pressed through the Little town of Lunicoa a few months ago, fighting their way down to the Isonzo river, then across the western bridge leading to the city, when the cry changed to "Gortiz at last!" Then this was reversed when the overwhelming invading force of Austro-Germans took up this same cry, "On to Gortiz" pressing down from the north, across the northern bridge to the city and ending with "Gortiz at last!" Thus Gortiz has become a symbol of the huge change which has occurred. It was one of the furthest points forward on the Italian line, the center of a vast area of fighting front stretching from Plozzo, far in the north, down to the Adriatic at Montefalcone, and it was the most populous and important city in the great crescent of territory. The Italian army had slepped off sufficiently northward, skipping miles in all. And so Gortiz was symbol of that entire region which has twice changed hands in this war, and of the furthest advance in the first Italian campalms. I went to Goritz and saw the city on the eve of its agony. It was the trip made there by anyone outside the military before the retreat began. The roar of the great Austro-German offensive already had commenced, though for the moment it was taken for a spasmodic renewal of the cannonade which had been going on for weeks. Within twenty-four hours the enemy and crossed the Issozo 15 miles further and entered the city, seated back the second army under General Capello, threatened to envelop the third army under the duke of Aosta, brother of the kings of Italy, and put in execution that gigantic hammer stroke by which they hoped to finish Italy and cripple the whole entente. Roads Left Clear. My trip was made by invitation of the supreme command, with staff editor from headquarters as escort. As we sped along the road in the big army automobile I noted there were no troops along the road and bordering fields as one sees approaching Verdun or in the Somme or Flanders. This absence of troops in the rear was part of the system adopted, it was explained. All the reprovisioning of the army was done at night and the roads were left clear by day most of the time. Ten miles out we crossed the Italian-Austrian frontier and entered Austria. At Cormons, an Austrian village on the road, the signs above the shops were all in Italian, showing the Italians were right in the claim that all this section was racially Italian. The cannonade began to be heard for the first time ten miles west of Golzit—a low ramp to the north and the muffin boom of a great gun. Day by day the fire was getting heavier, said our escort, who knew the ground by heart, and he added that the enemy forces had been increased from 120 battalions to 380 battalions. As we passed through the town of Lucinco, a far-out suburb of Goritz, it was seen to be half destroyed. Along the main street ran rows of battered buildings, with walls half down and shell holes making ugly gashes. But business was going on, men were at the cafes and women and girls strolled the street unconcernedly. Now the automobile turned up the steep side of Padgera hill, one of the outer defenses of Goritz where bloody hand-to-hand fighting occurred. One could see the old trench and wire system, now grass grown. All this hill had been swept bare by shell fire, but nature had kindly obliterated the scars and the hillside was again smiling with its verdure. The sound of firing had how increased to an enormous roar as we passed Padgera hill. Turning the corner of a shattered wall we saw the Isonzo river lying shead and on the further side Goritz rising in terraces with the huge battleships of the fleet covering on the right. The river looked about the width of the Potomac at Washington, but with swiffer current from the mountain feeders. Along the edge of the river ran rows of shell-torn walls with gaping windows. This whole water front had been torn to pieces, and yet many of the demolished remnants of the buildings were occupied and work along the river wharves was proceeding. Old Bridges Replaced. The Isono river was crossed by the wooden bridge which Italian engineers built after all the old bridges had been blown up. On one side lay the wreck Trip to the Citadel. TOMORROW'S WAR THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY: FEBRUARY 16, 1918 lines of snow-topped Mount Nero, that outpost of the Italian advance. TAKE LADS OF 20 brig, when we made all sail directly from the land. As we stood surveying this scene there was the steady rumble of guns, with the crack of quick-fires and then the long "whi" of ever-passing shells. But there was one "whi" which instantly engaged every attention. We could hear it coming, and it was not going over, nor under, nor at either side. Every one instinctively recoiled, and then— No More Observation Post. Five of us went down in a heap, stunned as with a hammer blow. There was a great, enveloping noise, with the smash and crack of walls, the flying of fragments, and the heave of tons of earth, mortar and masonry, plowed up by the huge missile. It had struck that observation post, just 15 feet away, which we were about to enter. There was no more observation post; it was swept clean. But fortunately the shell had gone straight through, battering down massive walls and causing a deep trench into the earth where it was embedded underground, throwing up great geyers. But while the earth and stone flow like hail, the underground explosion had held the shell fragments. Stunned as we were, the first impulse was of self-preservation. A hasty glance showed no one was seriously injured, though the trickle of blood on the right temple of one of the party told that a fying stone had found a mark. "They have this range," said the escort as we struggled to our feet, "and one shot means that another will follow." There was a hasty scramble from the battlement, over the tons of debris thrown up, which now completely blocked the three-foot path skirting the wall. The shell had suddenly brought to a close our observation of the battle front with all its tragedy and majestic beauty. But worst of all, it put an end to all trips to Gortz, for the officer said no further chances of this kind could be taken. It was just as well, and the great offensive of the enemy burst into view, with it came the retreat from the Gortz. Fortunately or unfortunately, I had seen it at the last moment when the tide was turning. Situation Explained. At the cafe where we went for lunch the officer from headquarters laid out the big military map on the table and explained the military situation. It was this: The enemy was bringing great masses of men to the north of the Bianisiza plateau. His design was evident. The Italians by their last advance had swung a ring which was threatening Trieste. To save Trieste the enemy must force the Italians back to the Isonzo river, as another Italian offensive would clear the Carso range and give the Italians the mastery of Trieste. To the enemy the time had come when he must act before the Italians their final card and held the jewel of the Atratic. As we pored over the map, the increasing roar of the artillery told that the enemy was losing no time in his part of the military game. The propietor of the cafe was an intelligent old man, and I asked him if the fire we heard was the same as usual. He shook his head and said: "No, it is very much heavier and it seems as though something was going to happen." This was the instinctive feeling of the people on the spot who had gone through this day after day for months. They felt the blow coming. On the corner there were two women of the working class talking together under an umbrella, for it was raining hard. Their indifference to the shelling seemed strange, and I stopped to them if the bombardment did not frighten them and keep them awake at night. They were puzzled for a moment, as though not comprehending such an inquiry, and then they shrugged their shoulders. "We are used to it," they said. "It used to frighten us at first, and the children still cry at night. But what can we do?" These were typical townwomen who had become habituated to the danger and destruction all around them and were now stopping on the street corner in the rain to exchange the latest gossip. One of the women had the features of an Austrian, and she saw the sheer rumble of the Austrian, and she pushed off toward the enemy lines so near. Within three hours when we got back to headquarters the full force of the blow had been struck and the great Austro-German offensive against Italy was in full operation. Big Profit In One Hog Lindale, Ga.-Charles Guyton, a farmer, bought a hog last September for $25. He slaughtered the animal the other day and sold it for 30 cents each.

GOES BACK TO THE OLD DAYS Traditions of the Service Justify the Choice of Lads for Responsible Positions—Career of Captain Silsbee. Washington—Lads less than twenty, already experienced sailors, are applying these days to the United States shipping board for training as officers in the new merchant marine. Many of them are accepted, and not a few already are serving as juniors on the bridges of some of the largest liners passing through the war zone waters of Kuwait. Lads of twenty were sturdy seafaring men, ruling their quarterdecks and taming the rough company of their forcecasses by their own pluck and resourcefulness, in the days when our forefathers were creating a merchant marine whose achievements form one of the finest pages of American history. Nathaniel Silsbee of Salem, who afterwards became United States senator from Massachusetts in company with Daniel Webster, took command of the new ship Benjamin of 161 tons burden,仁爱 with a costly cargo of merchandise and bound out from Massachusetts bay to the Cape of Good Hope and India, in 1792, when not nineteen years old. The first American flag had entered the harbors of Bombay and Calcutta only four years before, on the ship Atlantic. "Beginning in 1817, with a capital consisting of a Testament, a 'Bowditch', quadrant of sea clothes and a mother's blessing, Nathaniel Sillsee, then only fourteen years old, left the paternal mansion in Salem full of hope and good resolution to embark on his first voyage, which was to Baltimore as captain's clerk; at twenty-eight he had made his fortune and at thirty-six was the head of the largest American house in China. The resourcefulness of Nathaniel Sillsee was never better illustrated than by his first voyage in command of his first ship, the Benjamin. Sold at Big Profit. On the passage from the Cape of Hope to the Isle of France (Mauritius), Captain Silsbee fell in with a French frigate that gave him news of the beginning of the war between France and England. On this news reaching the Isle of France, prices rose by leaps and beholds. The cargo of the Benjamin was quickly sold at a profit that dazzled her commander. As fast as he could, he turned the paper currency he received into Spanish dollars. Then for six months an embargo was laid on all foreign vessels in the colony. During this time the value of dollars increased to three times the value of paper money, and yet, for lack of an outlet, the products of the island did not advance in price. Nathaniel Silsbee abandoned his plan of keeping on to Calcutta. He sold his Spanish dollars, loaded coffee and spices, and started for home. Proceeding no farther than the Cape of Good Hope, he scented another chance to fatten his owner's pocketbook. "The Cape of Good Hope was held by the Dutch," he said in later years, "and it so happened that I was the only master of a foreign vessel then in port of whom a bond had not been required to proceed to a French port. Two other Salem ships were in port; and the master increased of my cargo as I knew would considerably more than pay the whole cost of my ship and cargo, sold the residue, and invested the proceeds in a full cargo of wine and other articles which I knew to be in great demand in those islands." Captain Silsbee sold his cargo for three times its cost at the Isle of France, and again loaded for home. Warned by Governor. He was nearly ready to sail when he got word that another embargo was likely. Hastily putting to sea, he was obliged to anchor next day at the Isle of Bourbon for provisions. A mystifying experience that me met here related thus: "Just as I was about stepping from the wharf into my boat, the French governor of the island ordered me to his presence. I obeyed with strong prehensions that some restraint was to be put upon me. On meeting the governor, he asked me: 'How long do you contemplate staying in Bourbon?' My answer was, 'Not more than a day or two.' 'Can't you have here tonight?' he asked. I replied, 'If you wish it.' Then he added, 'As you had the politeness to call on me this morning, and as I should be sorry to see you injured, hearken to my advice and leave here tonight if possible.' "He cautioned me to secrecy, and I was on board as soon as possible after leaving him. "There was a war-brig at anchor in the harbor, a little to windward of my own vessel; toward midnight I had the anchor up without noise, and the ship adrift without making any sail until we had lost sight of the war- brig, when we made all sail directly from the land. "At daylight the war-brig was sent in pursuit of us, under a press of sail, but fortunately could not overtake us, and toward night gave up the chase." The Benjamin arrived home after a voyage of ten months. Nathaniel Silsbee had earned for his employer, Ellis Hasket Derby, a net profit of more than 100 per cent on the cost of the ship and cargo. By 1815 Nathaniel Silsbee had risen to such prominence that he was named by the United States government as one of the commissioners to organize the Boston branch of the "Bank of the United States." DID NOT KNOW OF WAR BETWEEN U. S. AND FRITZ San Francisco.—The recruiting officer over at Colfax, near here, notied army headquarters that he had found a man of military age who professed not to know that the United States and Germany are at war. He said he had heard that Germany was fighting France and England and "hoped she would win," as he was a German. He admitted that he had registered for the draft, but claimed he did not know the purpose of it. KAISER DENOUNCED IN WILL Aged New Yorker Leaves Large Bequests to Various French War Charities. New York.—Vehement denunciation of the kaiser as a barbarian who criminally caused the war is contained in the will of Jean Baptiste Borduis, generally known as John Borduis, fled for probate in the surrogate's court. Generous bequests are made to French war charities. Borduis was seventy-six years old when he died on December 23. He retired last year from the silk firm of J. Borduis & Co. The largest bequest is 500,000 francs for the relief of his plight, crippled French soldiers, "victims of the central war imposed by one man, the barbarous German Emperor William II for the satisfaction of his own ambitions." Thirty thousand francs each are left to four hospitals in Lyons, France. The city of Lyons gets 100,000 francs, the income of which is to be used for the purchase of paintings for the pupils of the Ecole des Beau Arts at Lyons where Borduis was a pupil. MARRIAGE OF MINORS LEGAL Colorado Judge Decides They Cannot Be Annulled Under the State Law. Denver, Colo.-Marriages of boys and girls not of legal age are legal in Colorado and cannot be annulled. This was the decision of Judge J. A. Denison in the district court in denying the petition of Mrs. May Gardner for an annulment of the marriage of her daughter to Don Bigelow. Mrs. Gardner told the court that Mrs. Bigelow was not eighteen years old when she became a wife and that Bigelow was less than twenty at the time he obtained a license to wed. Judge Denison held that there is no law in Colorado making the marriage of minors illegal, but that the official who performs such ceremonies is subject to fine and imprisonment.

HEROIC WORK OF BLUE DEVILS First Spyglass Seizure Is Credited to Chasseurs Who, in Sensational Attack, Wipe Out Powerfully Fortified Salient by Surprise. With the French Armies in the Field — French troops are methodically taking away the German spyglasses. One by one, enemy observation points or advantageous positions have been carefully spotted by the French command and evacuated. Though French official communication issued have registered merely local actions, these have had for the main objective that of snatching the binoculars from the Teenton eyes. A brief artillery preparation, a shrill whistle in the first-line trench, and the Pollus have bounded "over the top" in actions of signal importance in Alsace, north of the Chemin Des Dames and north of Verdun at Hill 344. Nearly 1,400 prisoners and valuable war material is the "hy-product" of these local, strategic drives. Won by Blue Devils. The first "sysplygear" seizure was that of the "Schonholz," a powerful fortified German salient jutting into the French lines in Alsace, serving the double purpose of German observation of the French organizations and preventing the French seeing in the direction of Altkirch. On the afternoon of November 7, after a brief but violent artillery preparation, three companies of the French Chasseurs-Blue Devils—attacked the Schonholz, completely wiping out the salient in a fierce fight lasting into the night. The enemy desperately counter-attacked, but failed, leaving in all 120 prisoners, including six officers, in the hands of the Blue Devils. Complete German losses, high because of their fierce effort to retain a position which they knew at at least 600 men. The following day a French general plumed military medals on the blue tunics of two adjutants and a coronal for exceptional valor. Though the general's medals in the district the general sent a fast automobile to find them, wherever possible, and the little presentation ceremony in an Alsacian village was a happy aftermath of a victory that took from the Germans' priceless observations which had bothered the French for two years. The French command next decided that the Germans were seeing too much north of the Chemin Des Dames. Consequently following a brief artillery deluge, four companies of Pollis passed to the attack against the enemy lines forming a salient between the small River Misotte and the route of the German-held village of Jouvincourt, and the village of Bols. Here the enemy held valuable observation posts overlooking Jouvincourt and ground each of the Milette. Under low-lying clouds and in a "pea-soup," the former preventing all aerial work and the latter preventing enemy observation of the advance, the French infantrymen, in less than an hour swept over positions on a front of 1,500 yards and penetrated to a depth of over half a mile. They wiped out the salient, took the object of the attack, and numbered a number almost equal to half of the entire attacking force. Six German officers and 45 under officers fell into the net. The third and most important French action of November was in a region where constant hellish fighting has been the daily routine - Hill 344, on the right bank of the Meuse, north of Verdun. Here a drummel artillery roar has never ceased, night and day, for nearly three months. German attacks and French counter-attacks, almost daily since the latter part of August, have had small place in the communique because of their routine nature. The enemy's positions permitted him to make constant infantry "bubbles" into the French lines on the northern flank of Hill 344, and to disturb French organization which he could see in the rear. Surprise Attack Successful. Surprise Attack Successful. French strategy in eliminating the enemy's advantageous positions in the region of Hill 344 has probably never been employed before in this war. Taking advantage of French defenses, French numbers of cellulators at 6:30 Sunday, morning, November 25, concentrated their deluge of steel on a three and one-half kilometer front opposite Hill 344. The thunder of this artillery preparation, though violent, was unnoticed amid the constant medley of air vibrations which had become a habit to German ears for almost three months. Just four hours after the beginning of the concentration of fire, screened by its own habitual noise, at 10:30 a. m. the French guns lengthened their barrage, and barraged the German rear while the Pollus wiped over the top. The surprise was complete. The advantageous positions which it had taken the enemy over eight weeks to gain were wiped out in not much more than eight minutes. $2.00 PER YEAR CLUB HIS WEAPON HE GETS REVENGE British Captain Kills Five Germans as Toll for Maiming His Baby. THEN TAKES MACHINE GUIL Wounded in Fighting, the Captain Holds His Command Until Relief Comes—Another Hero During Offensive at Masnieres. With the British Armes in France—The full story of the heroes of a British captain, who was so moved with hatred of the Germans for crippling his child with a bomb that he attacked and killed five of them with a club and withstood a German onslaught by his inspiring leadership, has just been received. The tale has made the captain's name a byword of bravery in the British camp. Here are the facts: The Germans delivered their tremendous assault against Masnieres and Marburg, during their offensives on November 30, 1918, and the territory about them were being held by a division of English troops. On the staff of the commanding general there was a captain who may be designated as Captain Black. Black was a man of long service. He had been a jovial companion until recently, when during a German air raid over England his baby girl was crippled for life by a bomb. Black had become bitter against the Germans and had sword that he would have full penalty for the airman's deed. Gets His Revenge. The captain little knew when he carried in for the night of November 29 how soon he would get his revenge. Next morning the Germans attacked Massierles, and the brigade to the right of the troops holding the town was forced to fall back. The brigade in the town, however, stood firm and fought the enemy off. Meanwhile, waves of Germans had swept by to the south of the town and were swarming westward. Captain Black came out of his headquarter of Marcoling to and five Germans already in possession of a great dump nearby. Black had in his hand a heavy walking stick which was his only weapon. Without a moment's hesitation he charged the dump alone and beat him on so fiercely that he brained all five opponents before they recovered from the surprise. He had made good his vow, but his work was not finished. Other Germans appeared west of Les Rues Vertes, a southern suburb of Massierles. Black collected all the signalers, cooks, orderlies and other servants available, and with two companies of regulars delivered an attack toward Rues Vertes. The Germans fell back and fierce hand-to-hand fighting followed. Black led his little army from the house, and as often as the Germans were on a stand of defense, until finally the whole suburb had been cleared, with the exception of one machine gun, whose crew of eight men kept pumping bullets into the British ranks. Black charged this machine gun with one orderer. Four other orderlers had been shot down beside him previously, and this one also was caught as the machine gun was reached. Black then attacked the Germans with a revolver in each hand and shot down the last man of eight. This cleared Rues and the enemy and outposts were established. The enemy had been wounded during the fighting, but he held on to his command until relief came next day. Colonel Is a Hero. This story is not the only one to be related of that bitter day about Manieres. A regiment which had the stiffest part of the fighting in the town was made up of troops known as "die hards," and they fought all day with rifles and bayonets at close quarters and never gave a step. During the fighting the colonel had been wounded in one eye, and so serious was his injury that his other eye became useless. His troops continued to be so hard pressed that it seemed probable they would give way. The colonel knew they needed all the encouragement possible. He called for an orderly, and, led by his servant, he started making a round of the front line with words of encouragement to his troops. He hours this blind man, with bandaged eyes, kept his trump among his men with his hand in that of his orderly guide. This herole example was the final word for the Tommies. They loved their colonel, and they stood and fired for him and held their Line. SITE OF EL DORADO FOUND Ruins of "Legendary" City Reported to Have Been in a Brazilian Forest. Madrid, Spain—News has been received here of the discovery in Brazil of the site of the Ican city, known to early Spanish and Portuguese explorers as El Dorado, and hitherto regarded as legendary. The ruins are in the Manao region, near the Bolivian frontier, in the midst of a dense forest. An archaeological expedition, including Brazilian, Spanish and Portuguese scientists, will make a detailed study of the district. { Be A ia as aS eC al NE GN ac Le A par ae ee a gt ao 2 es eae SENS ESSE Pome ose ARS ge SRR ESI CTE SIRE Sag ORS RSE Pp ee fen eae Ue EIT ng VEN D GE et OOS REDE SE I oe ey See ee ME an fe Pee = ee a hig PRT eS ee ap a OE 7c, ere ee ERM CRM ie Lome aS - THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Issuy WEEKLY AL Q -ADAAiS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER ST.

History gives the Indians a place as warriors. Therefore one is not surprised to ‘learn that present day Indians are becoming good soldier: in the army of Uncle Sam, Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, recently made a survey of the national cantonments in Texas, giv- ing particular attention to the con- dition of the 1,500 Indians who are learning the art of war in these camps. “{ addressed the Indians collec tively at each cantonment and con- ferred with them individually, mak- ing definite inquiry concerning their treatment.” Commissioner Sells said “Kverywhere I found them well con- tented, and nowhere either a dispo- sition to complain or cause for com- plaining. “They are a splendid body of men physically, with a wonderful spirit of patriotism. “The officers in command univer. sally complimented the Indians for their good behavior and highly com- mended them as soldiers. I was es- pecially pleased that the Indians arc not segregated, but that they are lo- cated without regard to the fact that they are Indians, I am strongly op- posed to independent Indian units large or small, and am firm in the opinion that they should enter the army upon the same basis as other citizens; that they should be mixed indiscriminately among the whites, elbow to elbow, so they may absorb the English language, habits and civ- ilization of their white brothers. In this way only can they advance. 1 want no discrimination either for or against them, but belfeve that they should be promoted on their merits and always advanced when they are deserving. “I visited the hospitals, made in- quiry as to their management, called upon each sick Indian, inquired into matters of sanitation, water supply and health conditions generally. ‘With the exception of the epidemic prevailing in Camp Bowle, the hos- pital enrollment was so small as to be very gratifying. This was not- ably true of the Indians. The dif- ference is accounted for because the Indians come from a colder climate than most of the white soldiers.

On last Tuesday, while the people of the rest of the United States, gener. ally, were actually engaged in, or, were in active preparation to engage in the reverential commemoration of the one hundred and ninth anniversary of the natal day of the “Great Emancipator,” Abraham Lincoln, the white people of Estill Springs, Tenn., were engaged in torturing and burning at the stake a human being whose crime, that brought this punishment, was in being born black. The man was accused of shooting to death two white men, but it required methods that rivaled those in vogue during the days of the Span. ish Inquisition to wring the confession from him, as his guilt seems not to have been fully established. The press dispatches state that “he was burned at the stake after a confession had been forced from him by applica. tion of red hot irons.” More than 4,000 persons, men, women and chil- dren were eye witnesses of the horror and made no effort to prevent the color-prejudice prompted crime from taking place and that was far more reprehensible than the crime of which their victim was accused. The lead- ing virtue of the great man, upon whose birthday this inhuman horror was perpetrated was his HUMANITY; and the thought of this upon that day especially should have prevented its consummation. Jim Melllherron, who met this horrible fate, may have been guilty, but punishment for his crime should have been meted out in accord- ance with law and by the legally con- stituted executors of it. We, here, all are loud in condemn. ing the horrors of German kultur, as recorded day by day, that are little, if any, worse than the case in point which is allowed to pass with public Protest. And yet, we of the race va- riety of Melllherron, are expected to be loyal to our native country and fight and die, if needs be, to uphold this government, that tolerates such treatment of its citizens.

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 hest- tation in converting it into war sav- ings certificates, since the government will redeem them at any time upon the request of the holder, allowing in- terest at 4 per cent. Under this ar- rangement the investor in these cer- tificates will have the satisfaction of knowing that if any emergency shoyld arise in his family, such as sickness or death, he could immediately realize upon his certificates. It fs 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 tet tat thy ar not eater ota tion when held by persons of small means—all will make them an at- tractive investment. Working people whose margin of income above expen- ‘ses 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 mil- lions will be transierred to the Fed- eral 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 acaeee THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Hays is ihe 'youngest- man ever to hold the position of chairman of the Kepublican national committee. He 15.88 years old. In 1800 Hays was graduated from Wabash college, In Isis the, same college gave him the degree of mas- ter of arts on @ thesis on “The Ne- gro Problent.” He was admitted to the bar on the Gay he became 21, He had practiced “before that with consent of the Entered Politics Early.

During the campaigns of 1906 and 1908 he was chairman of the speak- ers’ bureau of the Republican state committee in Indiana, In 1910 he was elected chairman of the Second Indiana district, and re- elected In 1912.

On March 15, 1916, he was re-elect. ed state chairman, and’ conducted What was. generally ‘conceded as a most brilliant campaign, electing two United States senators, the entire state ticket and nine of’ the thirteen congressmen. ‘All the places had been flied by Democrata, For four years Hays served as city attorney of Sullivan, Ind. He ist member of the Presbyterian church, and for a muinber of years taught & Sunday school class. Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for- ward 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 gov- ernor 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 ts a British colony and the govern- ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev- 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 con- ditions in the United States and the a eel eon oa ‘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, 1 do not expect them to adopt the meth- ods of missionaries, nor do I sympa- thize with all their programmes. But it cannot be fgnored wat it happened that the faiths of the wea ~ho latd the foundations for the peaceful de velopment of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and human- ftarlan and, above all, uncompromis. ingly Christian, “Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers fs as it fs in the South in America {t must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and eltizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain im. mediately civil peace, but I am conf- dent that they will be traveling the only road toward it. “I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combina- tion between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. ‘The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black.” CONVERTING THE ESKIMO.

They are a happy, care-free, jovial people. ‘They are continually laughing. If they see a man in serious thought for more than a few minutes at a time they think something is wrong with him.

Our supplies at Eta lay on the ground in plain view of every one in the set- tlement for four years, and no one ever touched them without permis: sion. In New York after dark they wouldn't remain four minutes before being stolen, “Piblockto” is the word that ex- presses what the Eskimos think of the world at war, Mr. MacMillan said. It means “run amuck; gone clean crazy.” ‘The Eskimos believe that all the white man nations have gone “piblockto.” “I tried to explain,” Mr. MacMillan said, “that the war started because 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— happy.” ‘THE APPEAL believes that the mis. sionaries who are trying to “convert” the Eskimos are “piblockto,” espe- cially those from the United States, who are trying to impose the Amer. ican brand of jimerow Christianity on them.

Substantial increases in existing rates of pension for disablement of the limbs from injuries received in line of duty, are contained in a bill intro- duced by Representative George P. Darrow of Pennsylvania, which will come up for action by the House at the next session of congress. Mr. Dar- row's proposed rates run from $65 for the loss of total disability of one hand or one foot, to $150 for the loss or to- tal disability of both arms and both legs. They amount roughly to an in- crease of about 50 per cent in the existing rates for similar cases. The bill is made to appiy to persons al- ready on the pension rolls, and to all who may be granted a pension here- after, but Mr. Darrow specifically pro- vides that the measure shall not op- erate to reduce any pension hereto- fore granted. The passage of this measure will be heartily approved of by the people. GRAND MASQUE BALL. And Lady Minstrels on St. Valentine's 5 Night.

Away back in April of last year Ava Dorsey was arrested on a charge of keeping a disorderly house at 1216 Quinteque avenue, and she was sentenced to a workhouse. During a stay of the center she "jumped" her bail of $700 and skipped to parts unknown. Her mother, Ida Dorsey, then sold the house, it is said, for $30,000. Subsequently her health became so bad she was taken to Eitel hospital, where she lies in a very precarious condition. The daughter came to the city this week to see her dying mother and was promptly arrested and committed to the workhouse to serve her sentence on last Tuesday. MR8. ROBERT A.

The recent death in St. Paul of Mrs. Elizabeth Satchell Morris, mother of Dr. Charles Satchell Morris, may cause the following to be read with considerable interest. The Mayor's Committee on National Defense of New York City has invited Dr. Charles Satchell Morris, known as the "boy orator," to deliver a series of lectures before white audiences, distinction never before accorded to a colored person by this committee. It also may be of especial interest to learn that for the third successive year Dr. Morris has been chosen by the white students of Wilson Academy, Nyack-on-Hudson, N. Y., to be the orator for the patriotic celebration on Feb 22. Besides this honor he has received vice president of the Wisconsin Life Association, which is considered one of the greatest student organizations of the school, the nomination being proposed by a Southern student.

Eliuh Root delivered an address. What he said there is just as applicable here, and this is what he said in part: "You can begin saving by the dollar, or you can begin saving by the quarter. You can see how this works. You kill four birds with one stone, which is an example of markmanship that I would like to see applied all along the German trenches. The first and sharp the most important is this, that you save by not using, and what you don't need is left for the Government to use for the men. Every yard of cloth less than that you wear is your apparel is a yard of cloth more to put into uniforms and blankets. Every pair of soehs less than you wear, is a pair of shoes for one of our men to stand in the trenches with. And it is most amazing the way in which a vast number of small contributors mount up." The second bird is that you turn your 25c, your $4.12, over to the Government, and the Government has the money in winning the war, has it until after war is all over. It has the money to spend to make powder, to make rifles, to make shoes, to make steamships, to do all the vast multitude of things necessary to be done to win this war. The third bird is that when the war is over, peace has come again, the production of wealth has recommenced, we are all prosperous again, victorious and prosperous America, sailing the sea with our commerce unhindered by arrogant attempts at superiority to prevail, then the Government will pay to you the money that you have thrown away in the meantime, and you will have it. The fourth bird is that you will be better people. You have laid the foundation for the restoration of a virtue that should obtain in all democracies, in all republics. You will have wiped off from the great surface of our National Record the reproach of being wasteful, extravagant, money-loving, luxury-loving people and you will make yourselves, by that exercise of the virtue of thrift, and you will make your children, more like those great and noble men who founded our republic, and through their privations and sacrifices gave us the liberty and the justice that we have. Therefore let every loyal citizen in the state of Minnesota determine to slay as many "birds" as possible. The more stamps you buy, the quicker comes the end.

The telephone company is now serving a "Saturday afternoon crowd" every day. Since the war began, the business activity of the country has been expanding with abnormal rapidity. This has required constantly more and more telephone service for the business houses. Complete telephone systems have been built and are maintained at more than fifty training camps over the country.
