NO CAMOUFLAGED REPUBLICAN. NO CAMOUFLAGED REPUBLICAN speaking through their State chairman, say that President Wilson's entry of Henry Ford in the Wolvering Senatorial race will make no difference with Republican plans. Those plans look for the nomination of a straight patriotic Republican, one who never was a pacifist—before or since the war began—one who never contributed money to pay for Democratic advertising, one who has voted more than once in the past twenty years, and each time voted the Republican ticket. THE LADY AND THE TIGER. The first enrollment of New York City's women voters has just taken place and 279,566 of them have formally taken on party affiliation. Naturally, the Democratic party, which is in the ascendancy, takes the larger share, gaining 164,722 to the Republicans' 96,749. Whether this means the continued domination of Tammany Hall or whether the new voters will exercise their privilege to the purging of the Democratic organization remains to be seen. ON THE RIGHTS OF MAN. Influential colored men in various parts of the country have signed a strong memorial to the President, Cabinet, Congress and the Governors of the states. We quote a portion of it. We are one group of American people than whom there is none more loyal, which is marked out for discrimination, humiliation and abuse. In the great patriotic and humanitarian movements, in public carriers, in Federal service the treatment accorded us is humiliating, dehumanizing and reprehensible in the extreme. This persistent and unreasonable practice is but a thrust at the colored man's self respect, the object being not merely to separate races, but to impress us with the idea of supposed natural inferiority. Such demoralizing discrimination is not only a violation of fundamental rights of citizens HOLDS THE MOST WIDELY REPRESENTATIVE CONVENTION WHICH HAS MET IN THE LAST 25 YEARS AT WASHINGTON WRONGS OF COLORED AMERICANS ARE PRESENTED TO PRESIDENT AND PLEA MADE TO CONGRESS AND AN APPEAL TO THE CONSCIENCE OF THE NATION Washington, D. C., July, 1918—The most widely representative convention of Colored Americans assembled in the last 25 years has for over two days been holding a National Colored Liberty Convention in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran streets. One hundred and fifteen delegates, with fees paid, from 33 different states are really here, from Massachusetts to Alabama, New York to Oklahoma. H. H. Harrison of New York City was elected chairman, W. H. Trine, Oklahoma; W. E. Hester, Tennessee; A. W. Whaley, Massachusetts; vice-chairman, J. W. Bell, Kentucky; secretary, Mrs. M. Carruth Simpson assistant, Rev. W. C. Brown, treasurer. Three mammoth mass meetings have been held Monday, Tuesday and tonight. Editor Trotter of the Guardian is chairman of the Committee to draft the race petition to Congress and to work with determination to get it received by Congress. The speech of Maurice W. Spencer, chairman of the local committee, on Monday night was considered a masterpiece, as was that of Dr. S. W. Harrison of Fort Smith, Ark. The address of Chairman H. H. Harrison and of Wm. Munroe Trotter were applauded to the echo. A feature of Tuesday night's meeting was the address of Rev. M. F. Sydes of R. I. and the splendid singing of Miss-Virginia Williams who studied in Germany. Delegation at White House. Monday morning a delegation from the Liberty Congress called at the White House to see whether the President cared to discuss the request or to answer. M. W. Spencer was spokesman. The other members were Prof. A. W. Whaley, J. W. Bell, I. B. Allen and J. E. Hester. Mr. Tumulty HISTORIC COLORED LIBERTY CONGRESS (From the Boston Guardian.) June 21st to 29th, 1918, we now historic dates in colored American history. We mark the approach or colored Americans to their federal government in behalf of justice and liberty for their racial group. These eight days with a Sabbath day thrown in, witnessed the gathering together in the nation's capital of delegates from all sections of the country in the midst of a world's war to formulate and present to the federal Congress a statement of the grievous wrongs visited upon their race and a demand for redress. Meeting under purposeful questions eloquently and spite of a Jewish-American major's attempt to the War Department to thwart this race convention, yet there was no wavering among these delegates. They came for a share for their race of the world democracy which their country's president proclaimed as the flower of their race, was sent into battle in another hemisphere, and they never faltered. Day after day the delegates met in two executive sessions without a dissent from the announced purpose of the call. Firm in the conviction that they were true to the real patriotism of the United States, but the persistent segregation of any element of our country's population into a separate and distinct group on the sole basis of color is creating a condition under which this nation can not long endure. When we reflect upon their bru- talities and indignities, we remember they are due to the fact that in all al- most every Southern state we have systematically by law or chiceryan been deprived of the right that very manhood suffrage which genuine democracy would guarantee to every citizen in the Republic. The propaganda of filching from colored Americans the ballot is but a supreme effort to reenslave us and to force our assent thereto. To this policy the colored man does not, can not and will not agree. Of it our intolerance is cumulative. Against it, we shall exert our righteous efforts until not only every eligible colored man, but every eligible colored woman shall be wielding the ballot proudly in defense of our homes. We are appealing to you neither as vassals or inferiors. Bull Run and Appomattox fixed our status in this nation. We are free men. We are sovereign American citizens—free men who purchased our freedom with our own blood on every battle field from Bunker Hill to Carrizal, full rights and immunities such as are freely granted to others but systematically refused to us. GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —J. G. Holland. said an answer would be sent to the Convention. The reply was received on Tuesday, but was marked confidential. Pleas Made to Congress. Congress is requested to make lynching a crime against the Federal government, and as such subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal courts, in a petition unanimously passed by the National Colored Liberty Congress, which has just closed its sessions here. This and five other requests for the abolition of specific race discriminations are advocated by the petitioners as a win-the-war measure. The petition has been placed in the hands of Senator Penrose, and is to be presented to the Senate this week. The colored congress protests that colored citizens are discriminated against in public and Federal buildings in Federal territory, in public carriers operated by the government in certain States, in the army and navy schools, in the right of suffrage in certain States and in the civil service. The petitioners ask, in view of the military service rendered by their race during the present war, "that our own republic may not be a part of the world not safe for democracy." They also protest the segregation of races in the military camps. The congress was called for the purpose of laying the cause of the colored citizens before the United States Congress, and was attended by 115 delegates from 33 states, H. H. Harrison, of New York, was chairman of the congress, William M. Trotter, of Boston, was elected chairman of the national executive committee for the coming year. The committee will wage an active campaign to secure the desired legislation. in seeking to wipe out the inconsistency of their country at home and were race loyal In seizing this world opportunity to seek for their race relief from senseless and undemocratic proscription, they notified the Chief Executive by sending a written request to him to convene both houses of Congress to hear them and sending a delegation to get his answer. Then they notified the heads of both houses of Congress by sending delegations to the Speaker of one and the President of the other to ask for a joint session. And in Speaker Clark they found a responsive hearer though the extraordinary opportunity could not be secured. They further held the engagement of the government by inviting two members of Congress to address this Liberty Congress. Congressmen Martin B. Madden of Illinois and L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, author of the anti-lynching bill, declared all true Americans at home should be bringing about democracy in the U. S. A. while the soldiers are fighting in Europe for world democracy. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, presented the petition to the U. S. Senate. BILLY THE BUNCO BOY. When on May 19 Billy Sunday closed aed ten weeks' campaign for souls in the big tabernacle in Chicago, the final record was: Number of trail hitters, 49,165; expenses of the campaign, $135,000; number of co-operating churches, 424. The results of the campaign in additions to Chicago churches, it will not exceed 1,000. One of the pastors said that nine-tenths were already church members and the other tenth yielded no results. Bill cannot succeed because he misrepresents Christ by drawing the color line in places where he ought to take a stand for right. As a bunco boy Billy is a bouncer. We are sending millions of our young men, the hope of our nation, abroad to fight for democracy. Meanwhile evidences are plentiful of a transmutation of our government, with a decided trend toward socialism. Is it fair to these young men who are about to shed their blood that democracy may live that we repudiate that democracy in their absence? Are they to return to a form of government for which they did not offer the supreme sacrifice, which they fail to recognize, and which they could not approve? If they are, then it may be that the peace which they helped to force on autocracy in Europe may have to be supplemented by a peace similarly imposed here. IS IT FAIR? War Savings Stamps It isn't so much the amount of money you save as it is getting into the habit of saving a definite amount regularly. The best way to learn to save is not only to promise yourself that you will do it regularly but promise some one else, your wife, your parent, your husband, or your teacher, that you will not let a first of the month or first of the week go by without saving. The Habit of Thrift Will Help Win The War The United States Government needs money to equip our armies and to fight for democracy. Your Government—the richest in the world—is willing to pay interest for your money now. Uncle Sam offers you $5.00 War Savings Stamps for $4.13 in February, and one cent additional each month thereafter. A Thrift Card is furnished to all purchasers of 25 cents Thrift Stamps.

SPAIN TARN TO BLAME. (Official Bulletin, June 29, 1918.) The following is an extract from the resolutions adopted by the conference of colored newspaper editors held in Washington last week under the auspices of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information: We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press, which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principally among the colored people of America, and representatives of other activities, wish to affirm, first of all, our unalterable belief that the defeat of the German Government and what it today represents is of paramount importance to our country of the world in general and to our people in particular. We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the unattainted record of Negro-Americans, to reaffirm our loyalty to our country and our readiness to make every sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, as students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic, and self-sacrificing participation in the war.

German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own Government may be dangerous. * * * Discreditable utterance—Seek to Put Race Loyal on Defensive, to Exaggerate Difficulty of Redress and Then Cringe and Leave all Indefinite. The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold up a striving country and distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to catalogue in this tremendous crisis all his complaints and disabilities; he is more than willing to do his full share in helping to win the war democracy and he expects his full share of the fruits thereof. Gentlemen of the Minimum. But he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an effector of victory.—From the Boston Guardian. SOUTH LYNCHES THEM. Henry Johnson, a colored soldier, of Albany, New York, has been cited and decorated by the French military authorities for what the French general of division terms "a magnificent example of courage and energy." With him was Needham Roberts, another colored man. "Both men fought bravely," says Pershing in his official report of the exploit. On the same day that the cables from France brought the news of Johnson's and Robert's heroism, the wires from Valdosta, Georgia, brought the story of the lynching of a colored woman, Mary Turner by name, because she had attempted to resist the lynching of her husband. This coincidence has moved the New York World to inquire: "With tens of thousands of American colored men fighting for civilization in France under the American flag, how much longer are the American people to tolerate lynching of colored men and women? The answer is easy. Lynchings of colored people will be tolerated in the South—where they occur almost exclusively—so long as the political party to which the New York World adheres is permitted to deprive colored citizens of their right to vote and thus, through the exercise of their civil rights, to protect their rights to property and to life. COLORED TROOPS ALWAYS FIRST Governor Whitman of New York was not to blame because he aided in the dedication of a jimcrow branch of that travesty in Christianity, the Y. M. C. A.—he was invited by the segregationists who are engaged in the nefarious work of belittling Christ. The governor, however, called attention to the fact that the New York colored regiment was the first to carry the stars and stripes to the firing line in France. That is not strange. It was a colored man—a mulatto, Crispus Attucks, whose blood was first spilled in the Revolutionary war. In the battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812, Commodore Perry's colored marines were first in the fight. In the Slaveholder's Rebellion the colored troops were not first because they were not allowed to enlist, but when they did get in and 200,000 were finally enlisted, they got to the front in a hurry. At San Juan hill in Cuba in 1898 colored troops were at the forefront and at Carrizal in Mexico in 1915 they were among the first to die for their country. In every American war, the "colored troops have fought nobly."

Washington dispatches announce that Federal control of the Pullman service will continue and pay increases totaling $2,750,000 a year will be granted 19,000 conductors, porters, dining car men and maids. Increases will be on the same basis as given railroad employees and will be dated from January 1 last. AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tenency among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. There are a few honest and sincere colored men who use the term "negro" in describing themselves, but the majority who use the term are jimcrowists pure and simple. The time has come to eliminate such words as German, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc. People in the United States ought to be satisfied to be known as Americans. That one word is big enough to include all persons born in this country. The National Food Administration is doing its utmost in every way possible to educate the people up to the THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the countenac the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. fact that there is not enough food stuffs to supply our needs without the practice of rigid economy by everyone, especially the housewives. The forecast of available supply indicates grave danger of serious shortage, unless conservation is vigorously and nationally practiced. The slogan is: "In the Name of Liberty—SAVE FOOD". General Pershing Denies Rumor in U. S. That Colored Men Get Most Dangerous Posts. Washington.—Formal denial of reports circulated in this country that colored soldiers with the expeditionary force were placed in more dangerous positions than the white troops has been cabled by General Pershing. Pershing's Cablegram. The general's cablegram, which was in reply to one of inquiry sent by Secretary Baker, said: "The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers, and that when wounded they are left on the ground to die, without medical attention, etc., are absolutely false. "The following are the losses as reported up to June 18 in the four colored infantry companies now in France: "Three hundred infantry, in fantasy, died of wounds, 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2; 370th infantry, died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none; 371st infantry, died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none; 372d infantry, died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. Are Highly Efficient. "A tour of inspection just completed among the colored troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. "Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate, as one regiment was there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of heretofore on the western front. "The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning Croix de Guerre by their gallantry has aroused a fine spirit of empathy throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active work. "Only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. "I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work." INSULTS COLORED WORLD. Boston Transcript Commits Treasor in Preferring Ruin of France Rather Than Mixture of Blood of Colored Races Fighting However, Tommy Atkins may to a considerable extent be inclined to settle in France. So, very likely, would be the whole body of the Portuguese troops who are fighting there, and the Italians. Thousands of the Chinese laborers may stay, and so may the black soldiers from Senegambia and other African French colonies. Unfortunately the incorporation of most of these elements into the future French population would represent mongrelization and degeneration. France would do better, in the long run, to send them home, for the immediate economic or industrial adaption of their immigration would be more than unbalanced by the disadvantage of the French amalgamates all racial elements that enter her gates. Her best hope her demographic future rests on a strengthening of her economic, social and moral bases as would result in a normal increase of the native population, and a steady immigration of enterprising young people from Northern Europe, or of sturdy Spanish or Ligurian peasants.

UNCLE SAM NEEDS MORE CLERKS Although the civilian workers in the national capital have increased from 30,000 to nearly 80,000 in the first year of the war, the government still needs specialized clerks. The United States civil service commission announces that there is an urgent call for applicants for the positions of stenographer, typewriter, bookkeeper-typewriter, clerk-bookkeeper, cost account, accounting and statistical clerk, stenographer, clerk qualified in accounting, clerk, based on business administration, index and dialogue clerk, schedule clerk, passenger clerk, the print file clerk and assistant to business manager. These positions are open to both men and women. Representatives of the civil service commission at the postoffices in all cities are required to furnish definite information and application blanks. According to the civil service commission, the full extent to which the specialized clerk is needed is perhaps not generally understood, and it is in this class of work that women have the opportunity to be of real service to the government at this time. Eighteen thousand stenographer and typists are at work constantly in the government offices at Washington, D.C., on the tons of correspondence and records made necessary by war preparations on a scale such as the world has never known before. Hates the Term "Negro" "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one of one per cent of the colored people America can trace their descent to. And there is no more right to call all white people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass.

Pettet MRS. LAURA BELLE DURANT HICKMAN. One of the Pioneer Residents of St. Paul and One Who Was Always Found Foremost in Work for the Master Answered the Last Call. Very few of the many good citizens of St. Paul, who have been called from earth to glory, have left a more favorable impression for sterling worth and work, than Mrs. Laura Belle Durant Hickman, wife of Mr. John H. Hickman, Sr., 533 Rondo street, who expired when at breakfast on the morning of July 4th. Mrs. Hickman was born in the country near Carthagenia, Ohio, Dec. 31, 1861. She came to St. Paul with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Blakely Durant in 1866 and resided here until her death. She was a product of Minnesota's public school system and the public spirit which she constantly displayed, demonstrated the excellence of that system. Mrs. Hickman was the mother of seven children, four of whom have died, and she proved herself to be an invaluable aid in directing the training of these children along lines of general usefulness and her three sons are living witnesses: Maurice A. and John H., Jr., have for years been very proficient clerks in the St. [Picture of a woman with dark hair and a white dress].

Filled with love of country the deceased devoted herself to the work of commemorating the labors and sacrifices of the defenders of our country as president of the Ladies of the G. A. R. She was the first to serve as State Organizer of the Minnesota Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She was also president of the Monday Art Club that has made its impression upon our community life. In the work of the West End Branch of the Y. W. C. A. as president, she demonstrated the capacity of her fellow women for self-government and self-dependence. Converted at the age of fourteen years Mrs. Hickman joined Pilgrim Baptist Church of which the father of her husband, Rev. Robert T. Hickman, was the founder. She rendered very useful service in all branches of the church work in its early history, acting as assistant church clerk, singing soprano for five years as a member of the choir and served upon the deaconess board. In the era of the famous fairs of Pilgrim Baptist Church, in the eighties, she was original in her great capacity as a financial worker. In the Sunday School in her capacity as teacher of the Baracca class she established a standard of excellence in its activities. She joined -Memorial Baptist church in May, 1914, and was foremost in all the church work. Later failing in health she began to retire from the general activities but was cheerful and willing to contribute of her experience in the help of others. She has fought a good fight and kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for her a crown of life. Mrs. Hickman will live on and on in the lives of those with whom she came in contact. The funeral of the deceased was held at her late residence last Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, where a short service was given, and at Memorial Baptist Church at 2:30, Rev. T. J.

MOVIES MUST DRIP GLOOM Picture Dramas That Have Happy Endings Can Never Attain Popularity in Russia. Four and five-act movie dramas of the highly emotional and sentimental kind are popular in Russia. Cowboy activities, murders and burglaries do not appeal to these audiences. Rough comedy is wasted even on the cheapest Russian audience. They do not understand it. American pictures, as a rule, do not appeal to the Russian taste. They want a drama woven usually around the "eternal triangle;" the men must be ardent lovers, and the women weak but. A weeping mother or the deathbed of a beloved father is always very impressive. There must be a death in the drama, preferably the suicide of hero or heroine, with the other one going into the cloister at the end. The ideal picture play for Russian popular audiences must not, under any circumstances, have a happy ending. The Russians use a great deal of descriptive and explanatory material on the films in showing their own dramas. They depend upon it largely for the "action." They do not care nearly so much for action in the pictures as for postures indicating emotions. Amatory and deathbed scenes should always be photographed to the last detail, but nearly everything else may be written and read. IN DAYS OF PONY EXPRESS Service, of Course, Would Be Laughed at Now, But Was Really Remarkable Then. The pony express, a romantic feature of the West of that day, was part of a mail line from New York to San Francisco. Between St. Joseph, Mo., the western terminus of the railway, and Sacramento, the distance was traversed by horsemen mounted on swift and durable ponies, each of which traveled sixty miles, and then turned over his mail bags to another. The weight carried was not to exceed ten pounds, and the charge was $5 in gold for each quarter of an ounce. A letter or parcel weighing an ounce, now carried for 3 cents, cost $20 in the days of the pony express. By the aid of the pony carriers the distance between New York and San Francisco was covered in 14 days, a truly remarkable performance, considering the vast distance and the character of the country traversed by the brave riders. The horsemen were in constant danger in many sections of the route from hostile Indians, but they were well paid, their salary being $1,200 a month. The pony express lasted two years, being abandoned when the telegraph line across the continent was completed. How Do Men Break Down? Be assured that there is no chance of your breaking down—although there will be times when you will try to fool yourself with "his idea. This thought of breaking down indeed is one of the illusions of medicocracy. It is the excuse which every lazy man presents to himself. It is moral astigmatism. The great fact is that men do not break down from overwork so much as is commonly supposed. As they go upward in the scale of increased activity, increased responsibility only acts upon them as a natural stimulant and carries them along. If hard work and worry killed men so easily, most of the successful business men of America would be dead already. No! What kills men is due more to what they take into their stomachs rather than what they take into their minds—Physical Culture. When Sick. Go to a "Vet." "Some of the best medicines for people are dog medicines," said a physician. "You see, all sorts of remedies are prescribed for human complaints, and sometimes they are beneficial. Many people have faith in patent medicines, which may be more or less justified. "But a dog medicine is very sure to be a good thing. It wouldn't sell if it wasn't. And what is good for a dog is likely to be good for a human being—supposing that he really knows what is the matter with him. "A doctor who started in business with no other equipment than a dozen prescriptions representing first-class dog medicines (supposing him to be a fair diagnostician) ought to make a fair professional success." Famous Military Commanders Napoleon regarded Wellington as able, but lucky. He considered Tilly and Wallenstein far better generals than Gustaf Adolf. Turenne he placed far in advance of Frederick the Great. "If I had a man like Turenne as my second in command during my campaigns," he said, "I should now be master of the world."/ Hannibal, according to Plutarch, sometimes ranked Alexander, sometimes Pyrrhus as the foremost general of all time. Sclpio he placed second. Himself he ranked but third or fourth. Posterity has modified his verdict to the advantage of his fame. He Had Changed. Mother—Why didn't you speak to that little boy who just passed? Tommie—I don't know him, mama. "Yes, you do know him. He's the little boy who just moved in next door to us. You were playing with him yesterday." "Well, mama, if that's the same boy, he's over-washed today." STENOGRAPHERS The United States Government is in urgent need of thousands of typewriter operators and stenographers and typewriters. All who pass examinations for the departments and offices at Washington, D.C., are assured of certification for appointment. It is the manifest duty of citizens with this special knowledge to use it at this time where it will be of most value POWERS REQUIRED BY WAR Quality of Self-Reliance the First Requisite of the Really Great Commander. War is wont to be associated with the physical rather than the intellectual or moral qualities, says Col. Theo A. Dodge in the Forum. The idea of youth and strength and ardor is coupled with the military profession. Alexander at the Granicus, Scipio at Zama, Napoleon in '06, McCillan in '62, represent to the popular fancy the typical soldier. But war, from the standpoint of the captain, is primarily an intellectual process. The successful conduct of a campaign requires, first, exceptional mental powers; next, mental qualities of a high order; and last, a physique to withstand the drain of unremitting mental and nervous tension. The gladiatorial courage which prompted the little Roman legionary to close in upon the burly Teuton with the sword, or the prize-fighting pluck which carried the guards through the day at Waterloo, are not as essential to the captain as the moral force which on the broad strategic field helps him to push his own scheme home despite the threatening maneuvers of his opponent, which on the narrower field of battle enables him to risk the lives of thousands of his men upon the result of a calculation, or to watch with equipulse the compromising movements of his adversary, or to hold back his battalions for the supreme moment, are not as essential as that self-reliance which prompts him to great undertakings and sustains him through their performance. FIRE ENGINES OF ALL SORTS First Were Primitive Indeed Compared With the Splendid Ones In Use Today. The first fire engine seen in America was received at Boston in 1679. It was made in England, and was of the type called "hand squirts." The instrument required the labor of three men, one on each side to hold the machine steady and to direct the nozzle, while the third man worked the plunger. This contrivance was not much of an improvement over the "siphons used in conflagrations," described by Hero of Alexandria in his work on pneumatics, written about 150 B. C. At the close of the seventeenth century a slight advance was made in Newham's improved engine, patented in England, which consisted of a strong clairmont of oak, mounted on wheels, and a suction pipe of leather. Steam fire engines had their beginning in England in 1880, when Brathwaite built an engine of six horsepower, weighing 5,000 pounds. Though its performances were highly spoken of, this attempt to apply steam to fire engines cannot be said to have been successful, owing to its great weight. A. B. Latta of Cincinnati built an engine that was a vast improvement over its predecessors, and it was in the Ohio city, in 1883, that the steam fire engine first definitely supplanted the old style of fire-fighting apparatus. Statues of Great Men. The fashion of placing statues of popular heroes in parks and squares has prevailed for a long time, and is apparently not losing any of the popular favor, says the Ave Maria. It would not be so prevalent, however, if Rossini's plan were carried out. The great Italian composer was waited on one day by a delegation who informed him that a statue of himself was to be erected in white marble, and that it would adorn the public square of his natal city. The artist inquired how much the statue would cost. "Twelve thousand francs," was the reply. "Well," said Rossini, "give me that sum, and on state occasions I'll go and stand on the pedestal myself, so that instead of a mere copy you'll have the original." Commercial Morale Low in Japan. China, for long centuries a highly developed nation, has an elaborate code of commercial ethics. Japan, on the other hand, which is a nation comparatively new to civilization, is not so scrupulous, says a writer in System. He continues: "In Japan they say a contract is never a settled thing, whereas in China it is absolutely binding. The Japanese admit they have no traditions in trade, and the average Japanese merchant is firmly convinced that if he orders goods today, and the market declines before they arrive, he does perfectly right to refuse them. Banks in Japan recognize this trait in Japanese character. There is no such thing as lending money to a man on his personal note." Power of the Old Song Consider the old song. Immediately all the things that make up the present existence fade into dim obscurity and for a while, for the duration of the melody at least, we live in glory of the song and its association. One thing has remained the same and that is the song. The years have made no change in the beauty or the meaning of that. In the face of the constant change and activities which mean man's existence and the world's progress, the song has remained the same. With the keen insight of human nature, authors have been appreciative of the power of the haunting melody, and have made it the theme of their work. to the Government.

The Minnesota Recruiting District is somewhat elated over the fact that in April, 1,103 recruits were secured in the state, which is believed to be the highest record in the country. When the final count was made for May, however, it was found that 1,240 recruits had entered the service. A rush of men during the last few days of the month netted 175 May 31, which was the banner day for the month. The rush was largely of men 21 years of age, who would have been compelled to register June 5. This as Major John D. Yost, Recruiting Officer for the Minnesota District says: "Shows conclusively that Minnesota is back of the boys at the front, and can be counted on for whole-hearted support at all times."

The Recitals will be unconventional, as scenes from operas will be sung in costume. TWO BEES. I know a bee, a "Used to be," A very worthy man is he.

TRI-STATE- TELEPHONE Field work on the state telephone valuation was begun this week in Ramsey County, when a crew headed by Mr. Chas. H. Christallw, of Glenwood, as chief, started to make a deed inventory of all the property of the Tri-State Telephone & Telegraph Company devoted to the long distance toll service. The task of appraising the value of the toll lines in Minnesota was imposed upon the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission by the last legislature, and the Commission entrusted the actual work to Mr. D. F. Jurgensen, its Chief Engineer. He has about 10,000 miles of toll pole lines extending to every corner of the state to enter upon his reports, and as these must include a record of the condition of every unit entering into telephone construction, and that to the nearest detail, the task is an exacting telephone men will be available this season, it is expected that the outside work will be finished this year. The notes now being taken will not only give the Commission a complete record of the telephone property in the state, but the data will also form a basis in determining the reasonable distance of the long distance telephone or toll rate prevailing in Minnesota, which have been subject to some criticism. The inventorying of the toll line properties of the Northwestern Telephone Exchange Company will be done a little later in the year. F. D.
