VOL.34.NO17 LABOR FOR FARMS IS BIG PROBLEM Secretary of Agriculture Points Out City's Part in Food Production. CITIZENS MUST HELP OUT 1f Soldiers Are Willing to Risk Their Lives Civilians Can Well Afford to Spare Time to Serve in Har- vest Field. By DAVID F. HOUSTON, Secretary of Agriculture. Washington.—Some time ago I issued a statement concerning the farm labor problem. It was pointed out that there will be farm labor difficulties to overcome this year as last and that in certain sections, especially in the neighborhood of large industrial centers, the difficulties will be acute. The lines of effort were indicated along which the departments of agriculture and labor, through representatives in various states co-operating with the agricultural colleges and other agencies, were to furnish assistance. Briefly stated, the following are the following things: (a) making a survey of the farm-labor situation in each community with a view to discover possible surpluses of labor, in order to be ready to assist in furnishing labor wherever it is needed; (b) assisting again in shifting labor from community to community and from state to state, as in past years; (c) promoting fuller co-operation among farmers in the same community; (d) making available, so far as possible, high schools in rural districts who have had experience in farming and who are normally regularly or fully employed in the farm labor; (e) employing every effort to see that there is no obstacle in the way of the production of a larger supply of farm machinery and its fuller use as a supplement to hand labor. National-Army May Help. Last year, in spite of all the difficulties, the farmers planted the largest acreages in the history of the nation, harvested record crops of most important things except wheat, and succeeded in greatly increasing the number of live stock. Since last year skilled farm labor has been given deferred classification and the secretary of war has asked for power to furthough soldiers of the National army if their training permits, so that they may return to their farms and assist. It is believed that the farmers of the nation can, by effective organization and co-operation, such assistance as can be furnished, to benefit baird difficulties and produce large quantities of foods, feedstuffs and live stock. There is an opportunity now for urban people sympathetically and constructively to study the farm-labor situation and to render assistance. In many towns and cities there are men who have had farming experience, who are ablebled, and who would doubtless be willing to serve the nation in the field of agriculture at this time. Especially for the seasonal strains of planting, cultivating and harvesting, it will not be too much to ask such men to aid the farmers in the necessary unloading of maintaining and, if possible, supplementing crops in order to feed the armies and to sustain the civilian population behind them. Civilians Should Help. If soldiers are willing to serve in the trenches, to dig ditches, build railroads and risk their lives, many civilians can well afford to spare a part of their time to serve in the furrows and in the harvest fields. If it appears that the farmers of a community or region are not able to secure the necessary labor by the usual methods, then the leaders in the town or city immediately dependent upon that region should organize, establish touch with representative farm leaders, and see if they cannot assist in solving the problem. In so doing they will not only aid the farmers of the nation, but they will vitally contribute to their own well-being and to that of their community. The farmers are willing to do all that they humanly can, but where their labor supply cannot be furnished from the ordinary sources, it must be recruited from those whose very sustenance depends upon the farmers. The farmer and the farmer are eager to do that for their sake; the soldier is taking the chances of losing his life and the farmer is risking the labors of a year on the chance of the seasons; both incur risks. Very many civilians are equally able to do their share, but may not appreciate the opportunity to serve in the field of agriculture. The departments of agriculture and labor will render every possible aid, but each community knows its own problems, and urban people, especially business men, could co-operate effectively with the farmers and also render much assistance.

Somebody removed the mat the other day, and the cat slept on an iron plate. It didn't seem to hurt the cut, but her fur became so charged with electricity that ever since it has stood stiff on end like the bristles of a hairbrush. FAITH IN RED CROSS Confidence of Wounded Tribute to Organization. Discharged Veteran Tella of Heroic Devotion to Duty While Under Fire. Chicago.—"What could any army do without the Red Cross?" asked Sergent Ronald Kingsley, late of the Fifty-eighth Canadian infantry, who is a veteran of the French front permanently because of injuries received in battle. Sergeant Kingsley answers his own question. "I think that probably the greatest tribute that can be paid to the Red Cross is the confidence of the wounded man. He feels that no matter how badly wounded he may be, if once he gets to the Red Cross man his life is safe. "I witnessed an incident during the battle of the Somme which I shall never forget. A Red Cross officer and four stretcher bearers came to the support trenches for some wounded men. The officer raised a Red Cross flag in plain view of the Germans and with his men began to dress the wounds and finally to put the soldiers on stretches. As they walked the Germans deliberately fired on the party and the officer went down. He got up and started again, but was hit a second time and did not get up. "Almost at the same time we heard a salvo of German three-inch shells, which wounded all the stretcher-bearers and the wounded soldiers received another wounded. Yet, in spite of this, another Red Cross party that same day went out and brought in wounded men. Need one say anything more? I think not." The work of the Red Cross on the battlefield goes on night and day. In invariably the men and the ambulances are in range of enemy guns. Devotion to duty characterizes the Red Cross workers and the American boys are stimulated by this assurance. PREACHER'S HENS ARE GOOD Flock of 16 Lald Average of 143 Eggs Each During the Year 1917. White, S. D.—The Rev. C. B. Denniston, pastor of the Methodist Church, was interested in reading recently accounts of egg production. One concerned a flock of twenty-four hens at Jamesville which laid 248 dozen eggs in 1917, and the other told of a North Dakota flock of thirty-five hens that 353 dozen eggs the same year. The pastor says: "I had a flock of sixteen hens which laid 191 dozen eggs in 1917. The flock twenty-four laid an average of 124 per hen; the flock of thirty-five produced an average of 135. "My flock of sixteen hens an average of 148 to the hen. This also is an 'honest to goodness' count. My fowls are the S. C. Rhode Island Red." ONE LOOK IS SUFFICIENT Court Rules It Saves Pedestrian From Liability for Contributory Negligence. Olympia, Wash.—One look up and down the street is sufficient to save the pedestrian from liability for contributory negligence if he gets hit by a jitney or other vehicle, which he did not see in crossing the street, according to a ruling of the state sued in court in confirming a judgment for $250 for a jitney driver, in favor of John Redick. The driver appeared on the ground that Redick had not used proper caution in crossing the street.

SATURDAY. APRIL 27, 1918 MR. SIMPKINS PAYS HIS INCOME TAX BY ROBERT McBLAIR. Mr. Simpkins gazed at the portrait on the wall till his eyes filled with tears. It was a portrait of his father, Colonel Simpkins, who had four times been promoted for valor during the Civil War and had died bravely on the field of action. Mr. Simpkins' throat ached now for two reasons: First, he reverenced and adored the memory of his father; secondly, his age and his eyes and his game leg wouldn't let him so to war himself. And as he observed the mime bearing and uncompromising gaze of him in imagination, the thikki-rid indis of the new generation marching forth and crossing three thousand miles of sea to fight, maybe die, for liberty. Mr. Simpkins around to make sure that neither Bess nor John (who were at the teasing ages of sixteen and seventeen) were where they could see him, then he straightened and threw his right arm up for a salute. But his gouty shoulder twined, and he groaned. He couldn't even salute. "Damm!" said Mr. Simpkins, and with his other hand fiercely twirled his white mustaches. He turned and limped into the library and sat down creakly before the mahogany desk on which were lying the documents which he used to statement, blanks which he grumpled got from the Internal Revenue officer only that day after lunch on his way home from the club. Mr. Simpkins' income for 1917 had amounted to just about $15,000, and he had been rather snappy on the subject of taxes ever since he had discovered that the more income a man has the greater the percentage of it he pays in taxes. He could think of several men who, like himself, were married and had two children, and yet, although their incomes were nearly half of his, they would pay only a small fraction of the amount he paid. He gloomily drew the blank nearer and began filling in the information that he needed for. As Mr. Simpkins' income was $15,000 he had to figure out the amounts payable on each of the successive classes of incomes in order to arrive at the total due from himself. He passed over the first class who must pay taxes, that is, single men making over 1,000. His calculation for married men then showed up as follows: First, they pay 2 per cent. (under the 1916 law) on all income over $4,000, deducting $200 for each of their children under eighteen years. In Mr. Simpkins' case this was $212, which he put down in the "payable" column. He saw next that, under the 1917 law, married men pay an additional 2 per cent, on all over $2,000—with the same allowance for children. This added $232 to his "payable" column. Then observed that for every $2,500 in his income over $5,000 he had to pay $2.50 in surtax, the percentage growing larger with each jump. This was $250 more added to his salary. And on all of this came an "Excess Profits" tax of 8 per cent, on all "occupation" income over $6,000, making $720 more. The total, then, he must pay was fourteen hundred and thirty-four dollars. "Whew!" exclaimed Mr. Simpkins angrily "There's young Henry Wilkins, who married Jake Johnson's girl, he makes $2,000 and he doesn't pay a cent, of taxes. I guess this is his war as well as mine. He was young Henry Wilkins he remembered that Mrs. Wilkins was every afternoon to make bandages for the Red Cross and that Henry, who was a lawyer, was aiding the Local Draft Board with its questionnaires. "Well," he admitted to himself, "that makes a difference." He thought next of Judge Willoughby. He thought next of Judge Willoughby, whose income was about $8,000. "He only pays $20," commented Mr. Simplkins, not quite so angry this time; and then a thought struck him and be sat up rigidly in his chair. Judge Willoughby's son had been drowned on the Tuscania when it was submarined with the loss of two hundred soldiers "Judge Willoughby gave his son to America," muttered Mr. Simplkins. "He moved suddenly and put his face in his mouth. For a long time Mr. Simplkins sat very still in that position. There was no sound in the library except the ticking of the tall clock and an occasional trill of laughter from the children skylarking upstairs. The square of light on the carpet gradually with drew itself through the window, and first twilight and then darkness settled in about the quiet, white haired, sometimes trascible old man. Mr. Simplkins was thinking which he would never afterward speak of, he was thinking things that were too sacred ever to be put into words. But some inking of his thoughts may be found in his reholler to Mrs. Simplkins, the placid lady came in and turned on her and asked him whether he was ready for dinner. "Judge Willoughby's only son was worth an much as fourteen hundred and thirty-four dollars, wasn't he? Mr. Simplkins demanded of her. As his wife, who was not unused to his superficial irritations, watched him in mild astonishment, Mr. Simpkins limped out to the hall and took his old fed hat and silver-headed cane from the mannequin he himself out into the roggy evening, he tapped his way down to the corner, and marked his income tax statement and check with his own hands. "Now, God be thanked," said Mr. Simpkins as the lid clanked shut over his missive, "I can do this much for my country, anyhow." TRICKS HUN OFFICERS British Courier Gets Help From the Enemy. Handle Confidential British Dispatches, but They. Do Not Know It. London.—Two German officers recently handled more than a dozen cases of confidential British dispatches, but they did not know it. The story is one of the many adventurous incidents which befell that select body of British public servants who wear a silver greyhound in their buttonhole and are known as king's messengers. Many are imagine that anyone who carries dispatches for the British government is a king's messenger. This is not correct. There are only five men who hold commissiones in that service. The others are merely admiralty couriers or war office courlers and have no right to the higher title. The particular messenger who outwitted the two German officers was burdened with 17 bags of dispatches for a British embassy, and he had to change trains at night at a station in a neutral country. His heap of bagage was near the sleeping compartment when his train drew near, but there was no porter available. He had only put five of the bags into the compartment when the warning whistle was sounded that the train was starting. The messenger was in a dilemma. He could not let the five bags go without him, nor could he leave the other dozen on the platform. At that moment he caught sight of two German cavalry officers. It was a risk to speak to them, in his best South German dialect and with his face in shadow he requested their help. They were less haughty than the average German officer and each one lent a hand. The last bag was bundled aboard with the train already in motion, and the messenger waived his thanks, then locked the door and collapsed on the nearest seat. FIND SUBSTITUTE FOR OPIUM Johns Hopkins University Expert Makes New Drug From Makers New York.—Discovery of a new agent as a substitute for medicines derived from opium was announced here by Dr. David I. Macht of Johns Hopkins university at the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine. The substitute is a coal tar derivative and has been named benzyle benzolate. It has met with the approval of Doctor Brown, head of the intestinal clinic of Johns Hopkins university, Doctor Macht said. The new agent, Doctor Macht explained, relaxes the muscles, giving the patient the same beneficial effects as opium derivatives without their ill effects.

Bogert, forty, of Newport, is doing fine despite the fact that it was ushered into this world during the overflow of the Ohio, under unfavorable circumstances. While her husband was removing her from her water-bound home in a skiff Mrs. Bogart gave birth to a girl. The ice waters from the Ohio swirled around the skiff. San Francisco.—A Chinese, who was leaving for the Orient, showed the customs inspector a tin box full of biscuits, which he said he was taking along to eat on the way across.

Do the work that is offered you, even if you think you are fixed for a bigger job. WE ARE AT WAR. Loyalty in these days should consist of acts, not mere words. ITS WAR. It only place for a "croaker" now or tomorrow, is his groundhog hole. Nobody wants to see or hear him in the open, now or after the war. Show consideration for other workers, so as to make it easier for them to do their bit for OUR WAR. We are fighting for the lives of our own and for those who believe in justice and decency. It is time the masked German barbarians were thoroughly licked, and then branded forever. ITS WAR TO THE FINISH. Every courtesy should be shown to the woman conductor. She is filling her position better probably than you could, and perhaps the one she has released, and the one you have sent over there are fighting side by side.

GERMAN PRISON BLIGHT HINTED 360 British Released From Ruheleben by Exchange Have "Barbed Wire Fever." *PALL OVER ENTIRE COUNTRY* Report Few Trains Running, Stations Deserted, Smoke From but Few Chimneys—Fuel Shortage in Germany Acute. London—All England has been stirred by the return of 300 soldiers and civilian prisoners of war from Ruhlein, Germany, some of whom fishermen who were surprised by the Germans in the North sea immediately after the declaration of war, and had therefore been prisoners almost from the first day of hostilities. It is not because of the stories they tell, for their lips have been sealed so far as their own sufferings are concerned by order of the government. The remark of one of the civilians to an old friend who met the party “We are fairly all right, but we have all got barbed-wire fever” is said to contain the whole story. Englishmen know what that means, and there is nowhere any desire to reverse the government's order. Symptoms of Barbed-Wire Fever. “Barbed-wire fever is the nervous strain that is taking with increasing force—especially in the case of the older men, who cannot take so much exercise—upon the hundred of men who have spent over three years on that unhappy course,” says the Manchester Guardian. "They were bitterly disappointed that the attempt of our government to abolish Ruhleben altogether by an exchange, however it might advantage the Germans, came to nothing, and many of the repatriated men are convinced that there may be an increase of mental cases if Ruhleben continues much longer. You could see the marks of nervous excitement on many of the faces, and probably the reaction from being set free will be felt severely by the authorities with sensitive minds." From a fawning of the civilian prisoners something of the condition of affairs in Germany was learned—instruments supporting the general impressions cording to the Daily Telegraph, "that the war has entirely changed the conditions of life in the enemy country, which has censured altogether to display that air of cheerful prosperity which characterized the Germany of peace days." Germany, it was said, presented the appearance of a country "under a blight." Germany, Under Blight. "I was very much struck when traveling through the country," said one of the men, "with the dead look of everything. Even in one of the great towns which we passed there seemed to be little going on, and the railway stations are almost entirely deserted. On the line between Spaniel and Hanover we did not single passenger train, and the goods traffic appeared to be quite negligible. The fields were devoid of cattle, and on the whole journey I saw less than a score of sheep." Other men with observant eyes had come to the conclusion that the fuel shortage in Germany must be acute, because though the weather was bitterly cold smoke could rarely be seen issuing from chimneys. Another thing that struck them was the extent to which they were working on the railways. They were seen acting as firemen on locomotives and as plate layers. ENGLISH WOMEN DOING "BIT" Now Engaged in Forty Lines of War Employment in the British Isles. London…Those who have thought that the women of England might not have been doing their bit in the prosecution of the war were astonished when they entered the imperial war exhibition at Burlington House to see forty different uniforms worn by women in service. These show that women are engaged as messengers, munition and agricultural workers, nurses, etc., and that they are the pride of the gloeble country. Not satisfied with this showing the women managers of the exhibition have issued an appeal to have women engaged in out of the way positions report, that their jobs may be added to the daily increasing lists. BURNING GAS WELL TAMED Flames Finally Brought Under Control After Burning for Eighteen Months. Pasco, Wash.-Out in the sage-ornish-covered wastes of Eastern Washington there has just been tamed a big gas well, and development work on the property is now under way. The flow of gas was discovered three years ago, when a misguided settler drilled for water and had a four-inch pipe blown into the ground. A year later a passery threw the match into the gas, and for 18 months the well burned day and night, a bakeable sible for miles around. Three months ago the old well was capped, the gas used to provide fuel for a modern drilling engine, and an 18-inch pipe has just been sunk into the gas reservoir. LAD TAKES HIS LIFE Precocious Youth Kills Himself Over Alleged Theft. Boy Declared Chemistry to Be His Life's Sole Desire and Happiness. London.—Few cases of suicide in recent years have attracted as much attention as that of Master Arthur Easterbrook, preccolon son of a retired colonel in the British army. The youngest killed himself with cyanide in chemistry, to which he was devoted. He presumably was driven to his act by the discovery that he had taken some chemical apparatus from his school to his home. Although he had merely borrowed it, there was an insinuation that he was guilty of theft. A letter left by the boy is as follows: "To whomasever shell find this; "Today will be my last day on this planet. I cannot stand the prospects of what is coming, so good-by, chemistry, my life's sole desire and happiness. What will happen afterward I cannot tell, but I hope that my spirit will travel to another planet and a God will forgive and let me have another chance. "Since New Year I have not touched anything, and just as I thought that the whole unhappy business was over this happens and utterly ruins my life. And I hope the verdict will be 'temporarily insane', because I am not. "A last word. I should like my stuff that does not belong to the school to be given to F. W. Teare, in my form, 4A, at school. It will help him on in the work that I intended to follow. "Good-by, mamma, the only friend I had, and I also hope that Leslie Wilson will remember me. So, good-by, chemistry, that I love and adore and die for. "P. S.-God sage my soul." His father asked the authorities for permission to preserve the letter, but the coroner said: "I think it much better if you do not have such a tragic document." KIT FOR EVERY SOLDIER Red Cross Comforts Packed by Women for Each Man in the Country Washington.—Every American soldier who enters the trenches carries an American Red Cross comfort kit packed by an American woman, Maj. James H. Perkins, Red Cross commissioner to Europe, announced in a cagramble to Red Cross headquarters here. The kits, which contain towel, shirt, writing paper, pencil, soap, handkerchief,袜, sorter and tobacco, have become a great convenience to the troops, says Major Perkins, who wants more of them, particularly ones with socks and tobacco. WOMEN MAKE FINE RECORD Red Cross Workers at New Berlin, O, Almost Double Supply of Articles Asked for. New Berlin, O—This village, where the residents are so patriotic they want the name changed, has another record for patriotic service. With about 250 women available the Red Cross work- room here has an attendance of at least 85 workers every day it is open. The women go at eight o'clock in the morning, eat dinner there, and do not leave until 10 p. m. They have turned out 80 bathrobes, where the government asked for only 50, and they did the work in two weeks, although they were allowed one month.

TEXAS AVIATOR IN WARNING Depreclates Patronizing Air of Some Americans New to War—Boasts Offered Friends in France, Who Understand. Austin, Tex.—Sergt. H. Clyde Balsley is the first Texan to return from France as a hero of the flying service of the Lafayette Escadrille, of which he is a member. Young Balsley's home is in San Antonio, and he is a former student of the University of Texas. He came to Austin a few days ago upon invitation from his old-time friends in the university to relate his experiences. He is home on convalescent leave, having just recovered from a receipt when attacked by a flock of German airmen. He fell with his machinest from a height of 12,000 feet to an altitude of 1,000 feet, when he managed to right his airplane and land safely behind the French lines. He spent three years in the flying service. Patriotism Must Be Aroused. "Wake up, America." should be the slogan of the people of the United States, Sergeant Balsley said while here. "It is so terribly necessary—and right now—that the whole country be filled with patriotism. It must feel that on it, and it, rests the outcome of this war. Until that time I do not believe America's best efforts can be put forth. For while no one, I think, would want to take one lota of cheerfulness or happiness away from our soldiers, still we who are at the front—the allies and the French—feel that Americans are too cocksure—too full of braggadoto. Confidence is all right, but a man who does not measure the enemy's resistance and into account that he is fighting to the death, may stand to lose vast odds just because of his shortsightedness. Balsley spoke of bombing Germany with American airplanes. "Of course, it will take time. From the French viewpoint it will be 1919 before Americans can really go in in great forces, because she can get her planes built and transported, and takes time, time, time. We really think that in 1918 America will only be able to take charge of some sections of the front, and that it will be two years before she can really make herself felt in the real struggle." Of German atrocities, Balsley would not speak. "I feel as though I never want to shake hands with one of them again," he declared. "In the whole world there is only one I regard highly, and he is in San Antonio; and because I felt he was so different I have hunted him up. But only those who have actually known the meanness and cruelty of their methods 'over there' can understand what a terrible thing he guarded of every principle of right menace. Balsley has many souvenirs of the war—several bayonets, aap taken from a German prisoner, some shells, a German artillery belt, etc., worn bit of cloth he carries the shell which, bursting, shattered his thigh. "The nurse gave it to me after the operation," he explained. In enlarging upon the American attitude as viewed from the foreign standpoint Balsley went into details. "I speak of American braggadocio as I have seen it in France and in Paris and as I have seen it from the French angle. So many of the boys who have gone over have more or less adopted the attitude of 'Well, we're sorry for you Frenchies, but you don't know how to fight. Now that we've come over we'll show you a thing or two.' Of course we that have been born and reared in America understand that attitude. War is so new to this great peaceful countryside when after these years of the struggle it is for us to realize how big a thing and how terrible a thing we are up against. We are like a big overgrown boy trusting to his large muscle and cheerfulness against a prize fighter whose methods he knows absolutely nothing about, and therefore he cannot know how strenuous an adversary he has to underestimate his strength and to patronize others who seek to caution him against the fighter. The French do not understand this at all and are to resent it. This, to my mind, is to render unfortunate facts so far of the 'going over', and I believe our officials whom they are to realize, will to erase over them and put us on more of a 'comradehip' basis towards those who have suffered so much and whom we have gone out to help." Lad in the Ranks. Waco, Tex—Carl M. Palmer, twelve years old, of Sunfield, Mich., is believed to be Uncle Sam's youngest soldier. Carl vulnished last summer, claiming his age as eighteen. The boy's sister disclosed his age when she visited camp, and upon hearing praise from Capt. Hogarth, said "And just think, he's only twelve years old!"

THE DRIVE FOR LIBERTY. The movement for the Liberty Congress was inaugurated in Boston, June 13 of last year at a session held in Faneuil Hall, the cradle of liberty, at a national conference called by the New England League. A Liberty Conference was started as a national committee to arrange for a National Colored Liberty Congress. Rev. A. C. Powell of New York is president; Prof. A. W. Whalley of Boston is national organizer; W. M. Trotter, executive secretary. A board of managers was begun with Robert H. Harrison of New York as chairman. This board is to be augmented. The purpose of the Congress is to press the just claim of Colored Americans to share in the world democracy for which they are all subject to fight under the flag and to take positive measures to secure from the government guarantees of the abolition of disfranchisement and of all caste discriminations. The proposal to hold a meeting early this year has been enthusiastically received by the thinking men of the country and the executive officers have decided to hold the congress at Washington, D. C., and to cover Memorial Day, May 30, which is in honor of the veterans who saved the Republic and brought liberty, with 200,000 colored men among them. This congress of Colored America to present to the Government its claim for a share in the world democracy is a great opportunity for the Colored people. Every community ought to send a big delegation. NATIONAL INSURANCE When you buy a Liberty Bond you are taking out national insurance on the rest of your property. Where the kaiser's army sets its foot, private property ceases to exist. The apostles of kultur steal or destroy everything. In their retreat from the Somme a year ago, they even turned the wells into latrines and sowed salt at the roots of the vines and fruit trees. In Belgium, in northern France, in Poland, Italy and Russia, they have restored the ancient system of war FOR A SHARE IN THE NEW WORLD DEMOGRACY NATIONAL ORGANIZER APPEALS TO RACE TO PREPARE TO SEND DELEGATES TO LIBERTY CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D. C., Our Paramount Duty. Realizing that the World War in Europe has already removed race discriminations and political disabilities from every proscribed class in Europe, except the Armenians and that the Entente Allies are fighting to relieve these; realizing that now the Colored American stands as the worst prescribed person in any civilized country in the world; realizing that the United States through its president, and cabinet officers declares its reason for entering into the European war is to promote liberty and democracy over the world; realizing that not only have Colored Americans sought to volunteer for this war, but that hundreds of thousands of our young men are subject to be compelled by law to risk disease and death as soldiers in this war; realizing that all the classes in Europe who have secured rights have assembled together and presented their demands for this reward for fighting; the New England League, on June 13, 1917, called a national Colored conference on the issue of world democracy for Americans of African extraction, which formed the National Colored Liberty Conference and elected Prof. Allen W. Whiting, organizer. While President Wilson is declaring that the U. S. A. is fighting for "World Democracy," disfranchisement, Jim-Crowism, Lynching and even Massacre go on here at home, and the government itself, is creating new segregations for this very army of democracy. It will be to the everlasting shame of our race if at this time when all oppressed people have formally made claim to rights denied, we Colored Americans the entire country fall to assemble and present our claims for rights. Unless there are redress out of this war for which our boys are drafted to fight for "World Democracy" disfranchisement will never be abolished and WE OURSELVES WILL BE TO BLAME FOR NOT RACIALLY DEMANDING IT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. We have never seen and will never see again such a time as this, hence Allied community is in duty bound to send delegates. Every literary, political, civic, fraternal and race organization and every religious society should finance and send a delegate. Every community should have a COMMUNITY LIBERTY COMMITTEE, whose duty it is to get all local bodies and organizations to send a delegate. Also to hold a town or city election of delegates at some of our Colored churches on or before May 19 or 20. We are not forming any new organization. The Grand Organizer is backed by the officers of the Conference, Rev. A. C. Powell, Pres., Rev. J. W. Hill, Vice.; W. Munroe Trotter, Exec. Sec.; Rev. M. F. Sydes, R. L. Sec.; Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson, Asst.; Rev. D. S. Knigh, Conn., Treas.; Mrs. Sarah J. Allen, Corr. Sec.; H. H. Harrison, N. Y., Chairman Exec. Board; Rev. I. B. Waters, 2nd Vice.; Rev. S. S. Crockett, N. J., 3rd Vice; Miss Bessie Smith, Va., Asst. Corr. Sec. The permanent headquarters of the Grand Organizer are at 34 Cornhill, Boston, Mass. where the clerical work will be in charge of a clerk, and where all speaking engagements, and all other communications for the Grand Organizer should be sent. Prof. Whaley is charged with securing delegates and raising funds for the Congress, making his report weekly to the Exec. Secretary and Treasurer. Secure delegates.

These things are done systematically and by order. They would be done here if the kaiser's armies could cross the Atlantic—and they would get across quickly were it not for the fiefs and armies of our allies. Those allies require our financial and military support and to give that support the government must have money. It is expensive to win a war against Prussianism, but it is utterly ruinous to lose one. A year ago the junkers laughed when America entered the war, and said it was a good thing, because this was the only country where a huge indemnity of cash and supplies could be collected without delay. They are not laughing any longer, but their need of indemnity has grown greater than ever. We can loan for victory or pay for defeat. We can buy insurance for our homes, our property, or right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; or we can sacrifice these things to the royal family of butchers that rules central Europe. Liberty Bonds are national insurance. "NEGRO" ADVISEER NOT WANTED. Pressure has been brought by "negroes" so the wires tell us, to have a "negro" adviser appointed to tell the Department of Labor what ought to be done along "negro" labor lines. Secretary Wilson has announced that a "negro" will not be selected as a permanent representative but prominent colored men will be consulted. Secretary Wilson has the right idea. No patriotic colored American wishes a jimcrow representative. It would be all right to appoint a colored man as an assistant secretary of labor but to appoint a "negro" adviser and confine him to jimcrow duties would be segregation in its worst form. "Negroes" who are asking for segregated places in the department of the government are doing the colored people a great wrong. Any man who would accept such an appointment, Halt the Hun Buy your share of the 3RD Liberty Loan Buy, and buy early. "No mercy will be shown! No prisoners will be taken! As the Huns, under King Attila, made a name for themselves, may the name of German be so fixed by your deeds, that no one shall ever again dare even to look at a German askance." These are the Kaiser's own words, when on July 27, 1910, he bade farewell to his soldiers. In the name of countless women and children who have been butchered or have met worse than death—Halt the Hun! War in Europe has already removed race disabilities from every proscribed class in Europe, the Entente Allies are fighting to relieve these, and American stands as the worst prescribed perimeter in the world; realizing that the United States military offers solid democracy over the world; Colored Americans sought to protect for this thousands of our young men are subject to the case and death as soldiers in this war; realizing that who have secured rights have assembled to demand for this reward for fighting; the New 1917, called a national Colored conference one for Americans of African extraction, which Liberty Conference and elected Prof. Allen W. is declaring that the U. S. A. is fighting for mischief, Jim-Crowism, Lynching and even Massad the government itself, is creating new segregation democracy. It will be the everlasting battle for oppressed people have formally made colored Americans the entire country fall to slims for rights.

Give colored men representation in the government as Americans, not as "negros." WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The following appeal is appearing in the daily press: To the Editor: May I be permitted to appeal in this personal way to your readers for a war need very pressing and very deserving of patriotic attention, and yet easily overlooked. The newly-organized Circle for Negro War Relief is trying to provide for enlisted and drafted men the same comfort and cheer that numerous societies are giving the white troops; also to care for the many cases of distress in Negro families where the wage earner is serving the country. One-tenth of our troops are colored men. Surely a movement to organize them and work toward a great common end will make the Negroes better citizens (just as all other war work is making better citizens) and will have results reaching far beyond the present crisis. The Circle for Negro War Relief is approved by, and is working with the National Red Cross. It aims to do a needed work that might have to be left partially undone in the present enormous demands on our national Red Cross. Our office (donated by a friend) is at 489 Fifth avenue, New York. We need funds at once. Every penny will go to actual relief work. Our colored troops have been brave, loyal fighters from the days of the Civil war to San Juan hill. Whatever one's view of race problems, there can be no two opinions of helping thousands of colored men and women to be more efficient soldiers and citizens and so help win the war. EMILIE BIGELOW HAPGOOD. It is possible that the American Red Cross has become so UNAMERICAN that it has drawn the color line and made the formation of a separate organization for colored soldiers necessary? the Hun A share of the perty Loan Space Donated by SAVINGS BANK What does the RED CROSS stand for? Thousands of colored Americans are members of the National Red Cross having donated their dollars during the drive for membership last year. They asked no questions about the way the money was to be used but supposed it was for the benefit of ALL AMERICAN SOLDIERS. A strange condition seems to have arisen. 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 will be placed on sale in every town can be exchanged for one. The stamps 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 taxa. 3RD LIBERTY "SO THAT GOV THE PEOPLE B AND FOR THE NOT PERISH FR BUY 3RD LIBERTY BONDS "SO THAT GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR THE PEOPLE SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH" This Space Donated by - FIRST NATIONAL BANK tion 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. CENSUS PLUM CAKE. The 1920 Census Bill provides for a staff of 32,000 employees to take the census. Conforming to the policy of the administration with respect to partisan appointments they will all be Democrats. This is added evidence that the army will be recruited from the ranks of the Republicans. The party out of power and spurned by the President is the party which may be possible this draft law and which will govern the greater percentage of the fighting force. Milton has a verse "On His Blindness" which may be aptly applied to both parties: To the Republicans— "Thousands at his bidding speed, And post o'er land and ocean without rest." And as to Democrats— "They also serve who only stand and wait." Except that the Republicans wait for the ships, whilst the famished Democrats wait at the political pie counter. Safe for Democrats!

Against Which Protests Have Been Made by Many Colored Organizations. Headquarters Ninety-second Division, Camp Funston, Kansas March 28, 1918. BULLETTIN NO. 35. 1. It should be well known to all colored officers and men that no useful purpose is served by such acts as will cause the "color question" to be raised. It is not a question of legal rights, but a question of policy, and policy that tends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosities, is prejudicial to the military interests of the 92nd Division, and therefore prejudicial to an important interest of the colored race. 2. To avoid such conflicts the Division Commander has repeatedly urged that all colored members of his command, and especially the officers and noncommissioned officers, should refrain from going where their presence will be resented. In spite of this injunction, one of the Sergeants of the department has recently precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided on the Division Commander to take on in a row that should never have occurred, and would not have occurred had the Sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This Sergeant entered a theater, as he undoubtedly had a legal right to do, and precipitated trouble by making it possible to allege race discrimination in the seat he is strictly within his legal rights in his matter, and the theater manager is guilty. Nevertheless, the Sergeant is guilty. Nevertheless, the Sergeant is guilty of the greater wrong in doing anything, no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity. 3. The Division Commander repeats that the success of the Division, with all that that success implies, is dependent upon the good will of the public. That public is nine-tenths white. White men made the Division, and they can break it just as easily if it becomes a trouble maker. 4. All concerned are again enjoined to place the general interest of the BUY TY BONDS VERNMENT OF BY THE PEOPLE, "PEOPLE SHALL FROM THE EARTH" Division above personal pride and gratification. Avoid every situation that can give rise to racial ill-will. Attend quietly and faithfully to your duties, and don't go where your presence is not desired. 5. This will be read to all organizations of the 92nd Division. By command of Major General Ballou: ALLEN J. GREER, Lieutenant Colonel, General Staff, Chief of Staff. OFFICIAL: Edw. J.

Va., April 23—Succeeding to injuries received when he fell from a third-story window of his apartments to the sidewalk below, Saturday night, Phil Waters, age 47, for 15 years assistant clerk of the supreme court of appeals, died last night at a local hospital. Philip Henry Waters, born at Leesburg, Va., August 22, 1870, was the best known man of his race in West Virginia and one of the best known in the country. He held public position continuously since his appointment to a clerkship in 1897. Prior to the time he had served as librarian of the University of Delegation. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan, from which he received the degree of bachelor of laws in 1895. He was also a graduate of Morgan College and previously a student at Howard. Waters was the first notary public of color to be appointed in the state and was several times clerk of the committee on finance and taxation on one of the other side of the legislature. He was active in politics from boyhood, and attended, always in an official capacity, every Republican national convention since that of 1892. He had attended also every state convention of his party since that year, serving as reading clerk, in which capacity he had few equals. His circle of acquaintances and friends was usually large. From these colored as well as white, all over the country, telegrams of condolence are pouring into the city to the bereaved family, the immediate members of which are the widow, daughter, father, mother and two brothers. 346 John W.

A Good Man for Justice of the Peace Says O. C. Hall. "There is one candidate for Justice of the Peace," says O. C. Hall, "that is worthy of every man's consideration and support and that man is John L. Rounds, who for the past three years has been Justice of the Peace for the 10th and 11th wards. "Mr. Rounds is an active young man who has made an excellent reord as justice at Midway where his work and jurisdiction is identical with that of Justice at Large. "Mr. Rounds was born and raised in St. Paul, a graduate of the grade schools, Central High School, Hamline University and the St. Paul College of Law. He is an experienced attorney, which a Justice of the Peace ought to be, having practical law for 46 years since his admission to the bar in 1912, is of good character and standing and has the necessary qualifications for the office to which he aspires. "Mr. Rounds is a worthy son of worthy parents. For several years to my personal knowledge the Rounds family have spent time, energy and money to raise some member of my race to a higher standing of industrial efficiency. Not only contributing in a general way to the support of our institutions, but in the better way of choosing special individuals to provide funds for education. "In this election we should act on the 'Sis Hopkins' philosophy of 'Pay attention to people who pay attention to you.' O. C. Hall. MRS. FRANCIS MAKES STRONG APPEAL. On Friday afternoon of last week at First Baptist church the women's clubs of Pilgrim Baptist church were the guests of the Women's Missionary Societies of the Baptist churches. The subject of the day was "The American Negro, Wrong Conditions in America Negro, Wrong Conditions in America Him As a Citizen and the Remedy for the Same." Mrs. W. T. Francis was asked to deliver an address and made a strong plea for the civil and political rights and for the enactment of laws for the suppression of lynching; also for better educational facilities for colored children in the public schools in the south and for the elimination of discrimination and segregation in the National Army. Mrs. Gladys Brown sang a solo accompanied by Mrs. B. C. Archer, and a chorus lead by Miss Cornella Gordon and Mrs. William McKnight under her direction. Mrs. George deered "Negro Spirituals." Mrs. George W. James led the devotional. A CORRECTION. Among the names of the patriotic friends of this government and of THE, APEALE who contributed toward the payment for the full front page advertisement for the sale of the Third Liberty Loan Bonds that were thereto appended last Saturday, there should have been that of Hon.

Owing to a desire for a change, Mrs. Anna Wilson, former proprietor of the ELITE CAFE, corner of Kent street and St. Anthony avenue, closed the doors and sold out to Mr. C. A. Niles, and, after being closed for several days the cafe has again been opened with Mrs. Carrie Webb as manager. Mr. Niles, the new proprietor, realizes the troubles which now confront any restaurant or eating house, but believing that the Elite is a necessity in that part of the city, he is willing to use his means in conducting it in a proper and up-to-date manner. He only asks the people to show their appreciation by putting themselves to the trouble to give the Elite their patronage.
