Joseph Marcelo's Saving of Comrade Washed Overboard Proof That Courage in Navy Is Not Confined to the Fighters. Many brave things have been done by the men of these hard-driven American ships, and one of them stands out superbly, writes Ralph D. Paine in the Saturday Evening Post. It was the rescue of a man overboard in the midst of a storm. This vessel was caught out in it while on convoy duty and her survival was little short of a miracle. The French marines called it the worst blow the Bay of Biscay had seen in eight years. Its violence was that of a hurricane, with a wind velocity approaching a hundred miles an hour, such a storm would have sorely pounded and damaged a great Atlantic liner. The ship was more or less knocked into kindling wood, both masts broken and rolled out of her, all three boats smashed and carried away, decks gutted, life rails splintered, compartments flooded. The ship was rolling 55 degrees, or almost flat on her side, and when she plunged, more than half the length of her keel was in the air. In the midst of it the steering gear jammed and the ship was likely to broach the waterline unless it could be beaten. The chief quartermaster, E. H. Robertson, volunteered for the job and was presently washed overboard, carried off to leeward on the back of a roaring sea. There was not one chance in a million of saving him. He was as good as dead, and vanished. The ship was running before the storm and a quarter of an hour passed before she could be brought to, a very dangerous maneuver, which again swept her clean. The quartermaster had not gone down, but was visible on the lee bow, swimming with the courage of a man who refuses to surrender to the inevitable. Lines were thrown to him, but he was unable to reach them. Even if the boat was sinking, the crew have been impossible to launch one. A life raft was shoved over, and it floated toward Robertson so that he could clutch it and hang on. This was merely to prolong his agony, however, for he could do nothing more to help himself. He had been in the water 17 minutes, buffeted, strangled, freezing. The month was December, the temperature of the sea 36 degrees. Among those who looked on and pitched the exhausted man who had made such a plucky fight of it was the ship's cook, Joseph Marcelo. His realm of pots and pans being wrecked and awash, he turned his attention to this affair of the drowning quartermaster. Knowing line about his middle and narrowing in to the sea and swam to Robertson, a veritable porpoise of a sea cook with a soul as big as all outdoors. The ship had some way on her and could not be wholly stopped. It happened, therefore, that when the cook grabbed the quartermaster they were slowly towed through the seas. The strain was terrific and the rope nearly cut the cook in two, but he clung to his man until they were fetched alongside and hauled aboard together. The quartermaster was unconscious, and the cook also collapsed on deck, but was thawed out with no serious damage. This Joseph Marcelo was promoted to the rating of chief commissary steward in recognition of the deed and was recommended for the gold life-saving medal of the navy department. Clark's Day Dream. In an address in Washington some time ago Speaker Clark said, according to the Pathfinder, that if he should suddenly find himself possessed of the wealth of a Rockefeller the first thing he would do would be to establish a publishing house in St. Louis, Mo. "Then," he said, "I'd publish an unbridled dictionary, with words pronounced the way the people of the country pronounce them, and put it on the market to compete with those composed by somebody up in a garret who's trying to make people here talk the things in England. "The next thing I'd do would be to have a real history of the United States composed and published under my supervision. In it I would give the people who have done things credit." At Pool of Betheada. An English reservist, who was living near Sudbury, Ont., before the war, writes to his old neighbors from the Pool of Bethesda, Palestine: "I tasted the water—not too clean—and in order to do it had to descend bots of steps, as the well is deep down in the ground. At the entrance one may, if one wishes, read in 77 different languages the account of the healing described, in the fifth chapter of John—a quite sufficient choice, one would imagine, but 'Taffy' thought differently, and not finding his mother tongue represented, promptly wrote it all out in Welsh from his own Testament. So now there are 78 different versions for visitors to choose from." Rhetorical Emphasis "Don't you think there is too much tendency to profanity in conversation?" "Yes. And it's going to be worse. I understand the government is going to open up more canals. And that means more mules." ONLY NEEDS TO BE ROUSED Under Certain Conditions, Tiger Can Probably Be Awakened in Each Individual. They tell us," said Mr. Blinksome, "that we all have a tiger in us, that we are all of us savages under our skin; kept from revealing our true natures only by the restraining force of custom and the law. "In a general way I have always believed this to be true, and yet I have always supposed there must be exceptions. You take, for instance, a certain mild-mannered neighbor of whom we have known for many years, a man in all circumstances kind, gentle, forbearing; seeing good in everyone and willing to make excuses for everybody. There was one person who I knew no tiger. "Our mild-mannered neighbor dropped in to see us yesterday, just after I had read something in the paper, and I picked the paper up again and read this thing to him. It was an account of something that the Germans had just done. "It was a circumstantial, careful, exact and apparently truthful statement, and yet the thing described was something so contrary to all civilized usages that it seemed incredible, and I said to him: "You don't believe that, do you? At that the mild-mannered neighbor fired up. Fired up? He flamed up. "Be believe it," said I. "I believe every word of it; and then he proceeded to tell me what he would do to the Germans if he could. "Had he a tiger in him? Well! "So now I am inclined to think that we all have a tiger in us, that there is no exception; only with some of us it takes one thing and with some another thing to make the tiger waken." Why Torpedoed Ships Sink. The committee appointed by the Council of the Institution of Naval Architecture to inquire into the effects of explosions of mines and torpedoes in the waterway, and to find that there are three principal causes of loss. First, the existence of a forward reserve bunker partitioned off from the cargo hold by a non-watertight bulkhead. A second cause of loss is the failure to close the watertight door in the engine room bulkhead leading to the shaft tunnel. A third danger lies in the main drain pipes, leading from the blige pumps to the different compartments, and passing through all watertight bulkheads, which are generally fractured in torpedo compartments. There should be non-return valves on the end of these pipes. The committee recommends that bulkheads should be protected as far as possible from flying splinters, at least temporarily, by using timber or other suitable material as a splinter-screen—Scientific American. Bacon and Beef. American bacon will be used to stretch out British beef supplies. The scheme of rationing, which already is in operation in London and the surrounding countries, is to be extended at once, and after this only two of the four weekly coupons will be available for the purchase of butcher's meat. The object is to diminish the demand for home grown cattle during the months when they can be fattened on grass. The new order of cattle for the purchase and pork to 20 cents a head weekly, but does not affect diners in restaurants and hotels, who are permitted to exchange coupons for meat meals. Children over six will be entitled after April 14 to a full adult ration of meat. All coupons are cashable for bacon and poultry. Woman Champion Maker of Films The title of world's champion artificial fly maker is proudly claimed for Miss Alice Sherwin Coleman of New York, who for more than a decade has been making flies for anglers. Some idea of her reputation among the disciples of Izaak Walton may be gathered from the fact that she and her assistants make $400,000 worth of flies for fishing enthusiasts every year. Miss Coleman makes 800 different varieties of flies regularly summer and winter, special orders bringing the number up to 10,000. Miss Coleman's reputation that exacting fishermen in the wilds of America sometimes catch strange flies that hover over particular streams and send them alive in a ventilated bottle so that she may study and reproduce them accurately. The Hopeless Amateur. "It requires patience to be a successful gardener." "Yes. But you can overdo it. I planted some seeds two years ago and I waited all this time - without a murmur for them to come up and do something. I'm going to give them one more summer and then if they don't make good I'm going to dig up the whole patch and start over." Belligerent Pacifism. "Are your constituents in favor of war?" "No," replied Senator Sorghum. "An' they think it's the business of this country to take up arms and eliminate any nation that insists on having war." A Sure Case. Mrs. A.—Can your husband claim exemption? Mrs. R—Well, I don't see how he can be strong enough to fight abroad when he is too weak at home to take up a carrot. Minnesota Historical Society The Call W. A. Rogers. The Spend Busiest Budget Cross War "A Great H an Occ TheAm The Call From Spending Hundred Budget in A ross War Fund Allevia THE APPEAL "A Great Net of Mercy drawn through an Ocean of Unspeakable Pain" TheAmericanRedCross T. A. Roqu. The Spending of Your Hundred Million Dollars Busiest Budget in All the World Is a Red Cross War Fund-Every Dollar Spent Alleviates Misery. Last summer the public subscribed a hundred million dollars to the Red Cross. At the latest statement over eighty-five millions of it had been appropriated. Where has it gone? you ask. For many months the world has been spending over a hundred million dollars a day for the destruction of life, limb and means of subsistence. Call up what you have read about the war's devastation. The American Red Cross' enormous job is to do whatver it can to alleviate that—not after the war, not after governments have deliberated and resolved; but right now, at the minute, on the spot. It's amazing that it has done so much with so little money. Last autumn the Italian army fell back precipitately. On your war map that meant rubbing out one line and drawing another half an inch further south. Over there in Italy it meant the number of poor willful beings from their home country to Murphy. Red Cross Commissioner in Europe, rushed to the scene and wired: "Indescribably pathetic conditions exist, involving separation of mothers and children, cold, hunger, disease, death." In November and December the American Red Cross appropriated three million dollars for relief there—a large sum yet small in comparison with the need. Condensed Milk for Children. Soldiers are only a part of the Red Cross work—probably the smaller part. Every instant, somewhere in the vast flood of destruction, a hand reaches up in appeal. It is pretty apt to say, "What is happening?" When the Red Cross commission reached Petrograd it asked the government, "What is the most urgent Defective Page thing?" The government replied: "We must get condensed milk for the little children here." The commission got the milk. At one spot in France farm work was stopped by lack of horses. That meant more hunger. The Red Cross got in a big tractor and set it to plowing for the community. There are a million needs. Cold, wet and the deadly physical strain of the cold determines meat constitutions. A frightening colitis has developed in France. The Red Cross has built sanatorias, provided over a thousand beds and nurses. Thirty Millions for France. I have here a big sheaf of sheets filled with figures. One item is thirteen million and odd dollars—the amount which, up to that time, had gone to the local chapters of the Red Cross in the United States for local relief. Twenty-five per cent of the money subscribed through the chapters eventually goes that way. Over thirty millions have been appropriated for work in France. Here is a million and a quarter—in round numbers—for military hospitals and dispensaries; over a million and a half for canteen service, where French and American soldiers, relieved from the trenches, can get good food, a cot, a bath, and have their clothes disinfected with chlorine. The holdings clean, rested, nourished. Their supply over three millions for hospital service; half a million for rest stations for American troops. Aid of refugees—eleven thousand families—accounts for nearly three million dollars; care and prevention of tuberculosis takes over two million; care of helpless children over a million; relief work in six devastated dis By WILL PAYNE tricts, including care of five thousand families and sufficient reconstruction to make houses habitable, required over two millions. Misery on an Unparalleled Scale. These are all large items; but the Red Cross is grappling with human misery on an unparalleled scale—a world of it. The item for relief of the blind amounts to four hundred thousand dollars. The dispensary service sends supplies to more than thirty-four hundred hospitals. The Red Cross receives and distributes more than two hundred tons of supplies at Paris. For this distribution and its other work it requires a big transportation service. The transportation service has cost a million and a half, and its operating expenses run to a million dollars. Every dollar it spends means misery alleviated. Its work is building abroad for the United States the best good will in this world. It is building the best good will among ourselves. Whatever else the war may produce, we shall be proud of our Red Cross. --- I want to say to you that no other organisation since the world began has ever done such great constructive work with the efficiency, dispatch and understanding, often under adverse circumstances, that has been done by the American Red Cross in France. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. Flatbush—So you're raising pigs? Bensonhurst—Yes, you know the pen is mugherl than the sword. You're right, for food will win the war." SOCIE GAVE PENNY UNDUE CREDIT Story Will Please Those Who Have Small Belief That Pocket Pieces Bring Luck. "Superstition is a relic of the dark ages," observed one of the supposedly wise men, "and it has no place on the battle ground of modern thought. "I don't believe in planting potatoes in Good Friday, nor in seeing the moon over the earth as foolish, think that a fisherman is foolish that he spits on his bait, and I don't believe in walking around a stump three times to change my luck. Neither am I afraid of black cats that cross my path. In my opinion all such things are nonsense. They are in the same class with that old idea about hanging a horseshoe over the door. That's an old, played-out scheme, and that never was worth a whoop. "There's only one thing in the whole list of lucky or unlucky omens that works in their detail, and that's the idea of finding a penny and keeping it for good luck. "About three months ago I picked up an old green penny that was lying in the gutter. I chucked it in the match pocket of my coat, and I have kept it there ever since. "Before I took to carrying the penny I couldn't turn my hand over without losing money, and ever since then I've made money at every turn of the road. That's why I know it is lucky." "I look at my look at the lucky penny?" reminded a bystander. "I'd just like to touch it." The penny-wise man ran two fingers into his match pocket, and as he did so he exclaimed: "By cracky! I'll bet I've lost the blamed thing. In fact, I know I have. I sent this coat to the dry cleaner the day after I found the penny, and I formed a bond with it. Moral: Prosperity seems to be, in some measure, psychological. The Good That Comes of It. Do you think that the war is making people less selfish in the world and in the United States? Surely it must, when in so many places people are sacrificing their dear ones and their money for a cause. Even if it seems to some more a question of honor and family or national tradition than justice or freedom, I often think of the rank and file of the German army, and the junior officers. They are suffering from magnificent bravery in the face of heavy odds, as much as, perhaps more than, the soldiers of the allies. Although one must be here to realize that men have risen to a height of courage and endurance in this war that people living in modern civilization never dreamed of. Surely some gain must come from this tremendous effort and conquest of self, and Germany must not be entirely a loser, when her even if forced, have paid such a price.-Edwin A. Abbey, II, in the Atlantic. Cosmonolitan Odessa Odessa, recently entered by German troops, furnishes the most remarkable instance in Europe of a rapid growth, like that of the mushroom cities of the New World. Founded in 1794 on the site of a small Turkish fortress which had been taken by the Russians a few years previously, it does not possess a single building which by any stretch of imagination could be described as old. The city as well as the port owes its origin to a Frenchman named De Ribas, an officer in the Russian army who had led the attack on the Turkish stronghold. French influence is strong, and there are important commercial French and British colonies. Italians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Tartars, Armenians, Georgians, and other races in addition to the Jews and Russians make up the population of this cosmopolitan city. Quitting Work for War "Selling out; have to join the colors," has become quite a common sign in business places in many parts of New York. Investigation has shown some of them to be fakes, too. In all parts of England such notices are numerous. Among those of an unusual nature is the following, put up by a monument builder: "Having been called up for military service, Mr. Kennedy is forced to close down his business, all the other male members of the family being already in service. He begs to take this opportunity of thanking all patrons who have accorded him support in the past, and he hopes that any who might have business requiring his attention may be able to hold over the same until his return to business." Cautious. Mrs. Flatbush—You don't think the war will reach over here this year, do you, dear? Mr. Flatbush—Why, no. Why do you ask that question? "Because I want to know whether to hang the hammock under the trees where it was last year, or in the cellar." Inclination to Experiment. "Why are you in favor of government intervention?" "I'm not exactly clear," replied the tandid man. "But I've a vague idea that I'd like to see some lines of business in the hands of elected officers who might try to make a hit by lowering prices instead of raising them." Pork to Win the War $.00 PER YEAR And He Admits That the Mules Did the Rest. Things Happened So Rapidly That Holdup Men Really Did Have a Chance to Take Aim, While Team Made a Record. Even today in the Sierra Nevadas where little mining camps send out gold dust by stage to be carried from the nearest railway station to the San Francisco mint a shotgun messenger rides with the driver if there is a gold shipment in the box. The barrel of the gun is snortened for the sake of convenience in handling in close quarters, and its efficiency for its particular work is not lessened, as it is used only to quiet a robber who has suddenly appeared close by the side of the treasure stage with the laomic command, "Throw down the box!" The messenger, as he is called where he is known, never guard or gun man, carries his gun across his knees where danger seems light, or lightly in his hands passing through bad spots. His job is to shoot behind a tree or to side of the stage, and shoot before the intruder gets the drop, Mountain folk who want to take a stage between stations make themselves conspicuous in the middle of the road before the stage rolls into sight. That is the safe way. If a messenger fails to see a robber before the latter has him covered the box is thrown down—usually. There was one instance where the Fule was not followed, which old stage drivers in the Sierra Nevadas tell about today. On a stage out from Bodle was a shipment of bullion consigned to the Carson mint. The messenger was alert, his sawed-off shotgun lightly balanced in his hands passing the danger spots, or resting on his knees where he covered to be too thin to conceal a robber by the side of the road. On one good stretch the messenger gripped his gun between his knees while both hands sought in the pockets of his heavy coat for the makings. The unexpected happened; out of a patch of strangely sage brush two men leaped, one to the bridle of the offender mule, one to the off side of the stage. They had the drop on both messenger and driver. "Throw down the box!" commanded the man at the fore wheel of the stage. The messenger thought one-quarter of a second—he was precise in telling that part of the story—and then with having to invite a bullet by moving it over or laid it on the pulley, the trigger of the right hand. So many things happened in the beginning three-quarters of the first second after the command that they make a long and lovely story as one listens to an old driver tell it today. The short of the story is that the shot shredded the ears of the leaders, and generally speaking those mules did the rest. The six mules bounded ahead, startled and indignant. The robber at the bribe was kicked in rapid succession by the off leader, off swing and off wheeler, so his pistol alm was not good, and the robber at the stage wheel was run over by the rear wheels, and his alm was not good. The six mules, the driver has sworn to this, did the next mile in four minutes flat, and there was no time when more than two stage wheels were on the road at the same time. "It was a nice, nice, lucky escape," the messenger admitted, "but I never truly made up with them lead mules. They never seemed to relish me after that little sawed-off spoke to them. Touchy sort of critters, mules is, anyhow." Tommy Atkins. Philologist Mr. Thomas Atkins has further enriched the English language with war words and phrase. They may not creep into future dictionaries, remarks London Answers, but they will certainly remain as part of the common language of everyday use. "Narpoo," coined by Tommy from the French "I'll n'y a plus," is now our general expression for "nothing doing." It is safe to assume that the expression "over the top" will become part of our language, to be used when man must be put to the supreme test. "Anzac" is another colon word that will remain for all time. A "acrouner" for a forager, "bucklesh" for anything extra in the way of rations, and "Conchy" for the shirker, are hardly likely to be forgotten. Quarter-Pound Diamond. One of the world's largest diamonds may come to the United States, as Americans are among those dickering for that superior quality amber-colored stone, weighing 442½ carats—about a quarter of a pound—found recently in the Du Touis Pan mine in South Africa. The stone is the most valuable ever found in Girquialand West, although it is not a record as regards weight. The most famous diamonds in the world are: Cullinan, now called the Star of Africa, part of the British crown jewels, 3,032; Excelsior, 969; Kohnoir, 900; Regent, 149; Orloff, 163, all uncut, and the Great Mogul, 280, cut.

SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1918. THE DRIVE FOR LIBERTY. 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., June 24 to 29. 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. "NEGRO" ADVISER NOT WANTED. Pressure has been brought by "negroes" 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 segre- CHRISTIANITY HAS NOT SAVED THE NATION CALL FOR COLORED LIBERTY CONGRESS RECITES GRIEVOUS WRONGS OF COLORED PATRIOTS---TO MEET AT WASHINGTON, D.

ZION CHURCH—JUNE 23RD TO BE LIBERTY SUNDAY IN COLORED CHURCHES OF NATIONAL CAPITAL All Colored Churches, Business, Civic, Literary and Fraternal Organizations and Societies Urgency Requested to Send Delegates. To the Colored Americans of the Republic of U. S. A.; By virtue of the vote of the National Colored Liberty Conference in national convention assembled at Boston, Mass., June 13, 1918, to wit: "The Aim and Object of this National Colored Liberty Congress is to press the just claim of the Colored American citizens of the United States of America to share in the world democracy for which they are subject to fire under the flag of the Republic, and to take positive measures to secure the guarantee of the abolition of disfranchisement and of all caste discriminations, civil and political." We now send forth this CALL to our fellows in Color and in Proscription: To all Colored Churches, business, civic, literary and fraternal societies and organizations, greetings: The National Colored Liberty Congress is called to consider among ourselves and lay before U. S. Congress methods by which President Wilson and the Government may best carry out his great war slogan—"To make the world safe for Democracy, to make the world a fit place to live in." And we would also add to them—"To make Democracy safe for the world, to make the world a fit place for all people to live in." I know that the present contains the darkest hours of the world's history. The earth is full of violence, pain and sorrow; of bitterness and hate. Many people are in a state of perplexity; their hearts are failing them with fear because of the evils which stalk abroad by night and by day. Our people are trying to hold fast their faith in God and in our government. But to many God seems to be far away and the government strangely indifferent to the many wrongs and injustices done to our people. And it is certain that the wrongs and injustices done from many deeds and traits of autocratic barbarian. In the midst of murmur and confusion for centuries, we have been patient and loyal to our independence and a united nation, we have marched and fought in the front ranks. "When disaster clouded the Union's cause, we volunteered 2000,000 strong, and served without pay for eighteen months till given that of white troops. Faced threatened enslavement if captured; were brave in action, patient under heavy and dangerous labors, and cheerful amid hard situations. Surely we have given to the nation and the world undying proof that the nation descent possess the pride, courage and devotion of the patriot and soldier." The compliment paid the Colored soldiers at the close of the great Civil War. We were patriotic and loyal today; we serve our country and its flag; we know no other. Representing as we do, more than one-tenth of the fighting strength of the U. S. we desire in Liberty Congress to be assembled, place and date as above aforesaid, to ask President Wilson and Congress at this time to examine from the statutes of our Country all proscription laws of race discrimination of the United States, the law that ours, our wives, our children and our posterity, which we are ready to fight to victory for a world-wide democracy which offers equal opportunity and equal protection, for every man, woman and child, American citizens at home and beyond the seas. With this covenant we stand ready to pledge to the government, our wives and children, to the last dollar and the last man to win the battle, to make the world a fit place for all people to live in. Meet in John Wesley Zion Church, 4th and Corcoran St. N. W., Washington, D. C. June 24-28, 1818 A Clayton Powell, N. Y., Pres.; Allen W. Whale Mass, Natl' Organizer; Marion F. Sydes R. I. Recording Secretary; D. S. Klugh, Mass. Treas. H. H. Harrison, N. Y., Chairman of Board; Mrs. S. J. Allen, Mass. Cor. Sec. L. G. Jordan, Penn., Wm. Monroe Trotter, Executive Secretary. To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. gated places in the department of the government are doing the colored people a great wrong. Any man who would accept such an appointment, would necessarily be a jimcrow man and he would do his country great harm in bolstering up the color line. Give colored men representation in the government as Americans, not as "negroes." NOW FOR LIBERTY. Sunday, June 23, will be Liberty Day in the colored churches of the District of Columbia. The National Colored Liberty Congress proper will open Tuesday morning, June 25, Monday the 24th, to be given over to registration and meeting of the Board of Managers. "The Aim and Object of this Congress of delegates from Colored churches and organizations is to press the just claim of the Colored American citizens of the U. S. A. to share in the world democracy for which they are subject to fight under the flag of the Republic and to take positive measures to secure from the Government guarantee of the abolition of disfranchisement and of all caste discriminations, civil and political." A SIGH OF BELIEF The last heard of Francis J. Heney, who came to Washington to "bust the trusts," the Supreme Court had refused to grant him the right to paw over all the papers of the meat companies. Heney has subsided. It is remarked in Washington that Heney came in like a lion and went out like a Boepee's lams—leaving his tail behind him. The country is too full of fulminate to have such a firebind at large. 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 time 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 "not cakes." Their small denomination, the good interest rate, the terms upon which they may be purchased, the fact that they are not subject to taxation when held by persons of small means—all will make them an attractive investment. Working people whose margin of income above expenses is narrow at best will find in them an excellent incentive for beginning the prudent habit of saving. They will be popular for Christmas presents. School children will be able to invest part of their little weekly allowances in certificates. As a result many millions will be transferred to the Federal Treasury and through it will flow into the channels of trade, while the people of small means will be made to feel that they, too, are doing their share toward helping their country win the war. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put 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 governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored if it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be travelling the only road toward it. I "do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." THE MOST LOYAL GROUP The colored people of Chicago had a patriotic rally recently. There were more than 5,000 persons in attendance at the main meeting and the overflow meetings. Strong resolutions were passed, in which they referred to themselves as "the colored citizens of Chicago," and declared that notwithstanding the fact that they were not treated as other American citizens and deprived of many of their rights of citizenship, they would not hesitate to give their lives for their country. That's loyalty and patriotism, greater than evinced by any other American group, because no other class is denied the rights of citizenship. The few Chicago papers who gave meager accounts of the meeting referred to the participants as "negros" and did not print one line of the resolutions. The following are the resolutions printed in one Chicago paper six days after the meeting was held: Mindful of the fact that from the hour of the formation of this nation, in every moment of its peril, our fathers have consecrated their lives to the protection of our country, our flag and our nation and have placed their hope for the full enjoyment of all the rights of American citizens in the pledge of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of this their country; And further mindful of the fact that because the American people in the midst of the terrible war devastating Europe, true to their traditions, have found it to be their duty to insist upon the observance of the sacred rights of humanity and neutrals on the part of belligerents, this action finds itself today on the brink of a war which will engage the entire resources of this country, material and patriotic; Be it resolved, That we, the colored citizens of Chicago in mass meeting assembled, do reaffirm our readiness to discharge every duty incumbent on an American citizen, notwithstanding the fact that all rights and privileges are not always accorded to us. Be it further resolved, That we reconsecrate our lives, our energies and our resources to the protection of our country, our flag and our government, and that we hereby pledge to the president of the United States, Congress, the governor of Illinois, our unqualified loyalty and support in each and every exigency which may arise, and we do call upon all loyal citizens to co-operate with us. Be it further resolved, That as a citizens of the State of Illinois we pledge our unqualified support to sustain and maintain the Eighth Regiment Infantry, National Guard, and bespeak for them the same high measure of devotion and loyalty to the cause of the American people which it has shown in the past. Eighty years ago it took a special combination of stage coach, railway and steamboat lines to carry the mail between New York and Washington, a distance of 250 miles, in 36 hours. Now it is an everyday occurrence to cover the route in three hours. This shows the rapid rate of progress that has been made in the matter of rapid transportation. And the limit is not yet reached. Last Wednesday mail was carried by aeroplane from New York to Philadelphia in one and one-half hours. Through the efforts of the local Equal Rights League of Lynn, Mass., the license for the showing of the infamous film, The Birth of a Nation," was revoked last week. Another evidence that it nays to protest. ORDER OF MAJ. GEN. BALLOU Against Which Protests Have Been Made by Many Colored Organizations. Headquarters Ninety-second Division, Camp Funston, Kansas March 28, 1918. BULLETIN 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 morality, and any policy that tends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosities, is prejudicial to the military interests of the $2nd Division, and therefore prejudicial to an important inter- 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 be present, and the officers will be resented. In spite of this injunction, one of the Sergeants of the Medical Department has recently precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided, and then called on the Division Commander to take sides and curse the officers, 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 chance to be involved in trouble by making it possible to allege race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter, and the theater manager is legally wrong. Nevertheless, the Sergeant is guilty of insulting the officers, nothing, 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. The Division has a situation 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 Public in the personal pride and gratification. Avail themselves 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 read to all organizations of the Division. By command of Major General Ballou: ALLEN J. GREER. Lieutenant Colonel, General Staff, Chief of Staff, OFFICIAL: Edw. J. Turgeon, Captain, Assisting Adjutant, Acting Adjutant. PRESIDENT WILSON Asked to Countermand Major-General Ballou's Jim-Crow Order. Boston, Mass., May 1—Regarding it as the most non-democratic action since the world war began, the National Equal Rights League, which has been active since the 11th annual meeting in Chicago in August, protested to President Wilson by telegraph against the order of Major General Ballou, former commander of the separate officers training school at the University, of order is so insulting that it was torn down three times when posted up at Camp Upton, and which order colored soldiers to surrender civil rights at the behest of white race prejudice. Telegram Written Order Counter-manded. The telegram read as follows: Boston, Mass.-To the President, Woodrow Wilson, White House, Washington, D. C. The National Equal Rights League calls upon you to countermand Gen. Ballou's Bulletin No. 30 for 92nd ed. joining officers and soldiers to refrain from going into public places where their presence is resented because of color. His dictum that asking public service is putting pleasure above the general good is not applied to white officers, rights, causes, fresh discrimination, for race prejudice, humiliates our race, degrades the army uniform. No order so vicious or undemocratic has been issued in any armies fighting German. Protect American soldiers in democracy at home before them abide in Democracy's War. Rev. Byron Gunner, N. Y. President. Rev. M. F. Sydes, R. I. Exec. Comm. William Monroe Trotter, Mass. Cor. Sec'y. The members of the National Equal Rights League and the colored general are urged to send letters and telegraphs of protest to President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker. NOT ONE, BUT TEN MILLION. THE Philadelphia Ledger is of the opinion that this war will produce no Robert Morris, no Stephen Girard, no Jay Cooke—meaning by that that no man will so impress himself upon the financial operations of the government during the war that he will stand out like these figures of Revolutionary and Civil War days. This may mean some loss to the picturesqueness with which historians may write the record of our war for the freedom of the world; but that will be more than overbalanced by the gain to the nation in the consciousness that the united action of ten million citizens—the number who subscribed to the second Liberty Loan—means more for the national cause than the superhuman efforts of any one man. SHOULD ABANDON SEGREGATION. Dr. Gulick, secretary of the commission on relations with the orient of the Federal Council of Churches said in Boston recently: "America should abandon its humiliating and discriminatory treatment of Japanese and Chinese in this country," he said, "and adopt an oriental policy fitted to hold those people permanently to friendly relations with the democratic nations of the west."

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN. That default has occurred in the conditions of that certain mortgage, dated the 8th day of May, 1912, executed by Bertha A. Wolf and Richard C. Woolsey, and assigned gagors, to Rose Ledegar mortgage, filed for record in the office of the Register of Deeds in and for Ramsey County, State of Minnesota, on the 9th day of May, 1912, at 3:00 o'clock and 20 minutes P. M. and recorded on page 243 thereof; that said mortgage was subsequently and on the third day of July, 1914, duly assigned to John P. Smith by Deceer of the Probate Court of Ramsey County, State of Minnesota, which said Deceer of the Register of Deeds in and for Ramsey County, State of Minnesota, on the 10th day of December, 1914, at 2 o'clock and 50 minutes P. M. and recorded in Book 573 of Deeds in and recorded on page 243 thereof; pursuant to a provision of said mortgage, said assignee of said mortgage has elected to declare the whole debt secured thereby to be now due and payable; that there is due and payable, at the date of this notice, upon the sum of Three Thousand ($3,000.00) Dollars, and that no action F ORA SHARE IN THE NEW WORLD DEMOGRACY NATIONAL ORGANIZER APPEALS TO RACE TO PREPARE TO SEND DELEGATES TO LIBERTY CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D.C. JUNE 24 TO 29, 1918 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; the Americans and that the Entente Allies are fighting to relieve these; son 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 had indicted the leaders of the war 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. Whaley as Grand 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 if at this time when all oppressed people have formally made claim to rights denied, we Colonize our entire country fail to assemble and present our claims for rights. Unless we for this war for which our boys are drafted to fight for "World Democracy," disfranchisement will never be abolished and WE OURSLEVES WILL BE TO BLAKE FOR NOT RACIALLY DEMANDING IT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. We have never seen and will never see again such a time as this, hence colored community is in duty bound to send delegates. Every literary, political, fraternal and race organization and every religious society should finance our work. Every community should have a COMMUNITY LIBERTY COMMITTEE, which to get all local bodies and organizations to send a delegate. Also to hold a city 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.

Protest Stops the Showing of "The Birth of a Nation" at The Faust Theater The proprietor of the Faust moving picture theater, University and Kent streets, Mr. H. J. Breilein, had contracted for the showing of the infamous picture, "The Birth of a Nation," at that popular house the latter part of this week. This fact coming to the knowledge of Mr. R. C. Minor, he determined to do what he could to stop it. He called to see Mr. W. W. Cutter, the public manager, who after hearing Mr. Minor's complaint said that if the picture was so obnoxious he would not offend the many regular colored patrons of the house by showing it, but he would like to have the protest to come from some proper organization. Mr. Minor then called to Dr. V. D. Turner, chairman of the Board of Director of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, who he instructed the secretary, Miss Charlotte Gillard, to write a letter of protest in the name of the Association. When this letter was shown to the manager he immediately assured Mr. Minor that the picture would not be shown in either of his houses, the Verdi, the Faust and the Victoria. The editor of THE APPEAL called at the Faust where he met Mr. Cutter whom he found to be a very pleasant gentleman, and he verified the foregoing statement; he also stated the management appreciated the very large volume of patronage the houses had from the colored people, and it had been his policy to make no obnoxious distinctions whatever among color; all were account of race or color; all were known who were properly attired and deported themselves properly. Mr. Minor and the N. A. A. C. P. are entitled to much credit for the prompt action in the matter. The outcome in this case emphasizes the fact that it pays to protest.

Crepeau, man- ager of the Meter Typesetting Co. The candidates are all "fine fellows" and the voters must exercise their best judgment in making their selec- tion.
