MIGHTY P09R MATINEE IDOLS But Can They Fly? Oh, Boy, You Can Stop They Ask—Ask the Major, He Knows—Also About the Marines. By RICHARD HENRY LITTLE, (Chicago Newspaper Man, Now in Y. M. C. A. Service on Atlantic.) **Atlantic)** New York—American soldiers are guard fighters but very patriotic idols. When women spring from their seats in the sidewalk cafes in Paris and thrust flowers in their hands, they look as ashamed as a dog caught stealing eggs. The most awful suffering I saw in Paris was the case of a big husky from an infantry outfit. A lady of great distinction had stopped her machine in the middle of the street while the soldier was crossing, and, leaning out, had enthusiastically tied a bright pink ribbon around his neck. Amidst much rejoicing from the assembled French spectators the lady went her way and the big soldier looked as if he was just about to choke to death, although it was a very thin ribbon and loosely tied. I saw him an hour later and he still wore the ribbon and had turned deathly pale and was evidently in terrible pain. The Captain's Orders. "Listen," said the infantry husky in a hoarse whisper, "the captain said we was to receive any compliments given us by the French with a smile and show 'em we appreciated it and not hurt their feelings by ditching it, but if I have to wear this pink ribbon on a neck me for another hour T'll go nuts and bite myself in the leg. For the love of Mike do something." I removed the ribbon from the suffering soldier's neck and after a while he grew calm and quite rational and he told me some stories of the front regarding the first assault of the Americas against the Titans. "They can't hold us guys," he said, "when we git we started we jest keep goln." All anybody says is jest kill 'em, kill 'em, and O boy, you ought to see our hads go to it! "There at Chatty Teery the officers were making an awful hollow about the boys running too fast and ducking right through the barrage and not paying attention to nothing except spearin' Boches. Our colonel came over before we started and he was much particular-like in pointing out a bunch of rocks where he wanted our battalion to halt. "The major said all right, that he would stop his four companies right on the line of them rocks, and then we started. We got it right in the nose, from every Dutch gun in front and behind us, and hugged and away they went. So they didn't pay no more attention to the rocks than if he hadn't been there at all. "I went back to give him a message from my captain and he was standing by the rocks and up came the colonel and the colonel gave the major blinking hell for not stopping the battalion where he said, and the major was madder 'n a hornet, and he double damned the colonel right back again and he said: 'How the crucified soldier could I stop wild-eyed sons of perdition? If that hog-faced crown prince and his whole damnety damn Dutch army couldn't stop 'em, what the h—— could I do?" And Those Marines. I asked him if the marines were good fighters "Good fighters?" the soldier said; "say, every time I see a marine I want to go up and give him a kiss. "If they ever get started again they will never stop till they get to Berlin. Now, you listen to me, I know. Say, do you know what I saw them marines do? "They had taken three trenches and was stopping in the third to fill their pockets with grenades and bombs before tackling the next trench that was chuck-full of Boches. The Dutch was using mustard gas and we was all wearing our masks. The grenades wuz passed around. The marines filled their pockets an hung 'em on their belts and then they would decide that they needed more for the job than what they had, so what did those crazy nuts do but whip off their gas masks and then, carrying their masks like they was market baskets, up they jumped and down they come on the Dutch in the next trench all spraidded out, and they bombed 'em till there wasn't nothing but jest grease spots left. "Oh, you marines, boys, my hat is certainly off to you." And likewise you infantry and you artillery.

Exploits Quickly Win Honors Given by King Victor Emmanuel Himself. Italian Army Headquarters.—The Italian commander under whose direction the American flyers are working on the Italian flyers has only one fault to find with them. They never want to remain on the ground. The exploits which brought five of the American airmen decorations cannot yet be published, but the value of their services may be judged from the fact that King Victor Emmanuel traveled to the section held by the Americans to make the presentation. A few days ago Lieut Alexander C. Craig of New York, while flying over Austrian territory, was attacked by a chaser plane. By skillfully handling his own machine, after a few minutes of jockeying he put his adversary at a disadvantage and maneuvered his own gunner into such a position that a burst of machine gunfire shot the attacker dead and sent his plane to the ground in flames. Lieut. Harry L. Holtz of Burley, Idaho, who could have combine great coolness in danger with a thorough understanding of Italian habits and customs. On his way back over the Austrian lines after a deep raid into enemy territory his plane was struck by a burst of shrapnel from anti-aircraft guns. One fragment lodged in the body of Holtz's machine, another tore a hole in the right wing, while a third splintered one of the left-wing spars, at the same time cutting one of the alleron control cables to such an extent that a single strand of steel wire was left. Lieutenant Holtz calmly pointed out the break to the Italian mechanic accompanying him. The mechanic, without a moment's hesitation, climbed out and fought his way to the wing against a tremendous wind pressure. Then, on his face and bracing his feet against the crut, he grasped the damaged cable with one hand on each side of the break. Just when he was getting a grip on the last strand of the cable it parted and the value of his daring action was apparent. With the cable gone, the big airplane virtually was useless, but he coolly clung there, substituting his strength for it and enabling Lieutenant Holtz to bring the machine safely into Italian territory.

WILL EAT CHESTNUT LOAF French Medical Professor Urges Use of New Ingredient in Making Bread. Paris,—Doctor Labesse, professor in the medical school at Angers, urges the use of chestnuts in bread. Chestnuts, which used to be sold in profusion in the streets of Paris, have disappeared from the market, he points out, and says a considerable saving in potatoes and wheat could be effected by using them in bread, according to a recipe which was demonstrated before the Academy of Sciences as long ago as 1861. THE APPEAL SPOILING HUN'S SLEEP Desultery Bombing Distracts Antiaircraft Gunners. Drop Two and Flit Away; When Fritz Settles Down, Wake Him Up Again. Behind the British Lines in France,—One of the most exciting tasks to which airmen are assigned is "desultory bombing" over one spot for an hour or more. The object is to distract the attention of the antaircraft defenders of a given district. A machine carrying a dozen or more bombs is employed for the work. The airman, a pilot and an observer approach their target cautiously. With engines throttled down, the craft gildes nearer and nearer. Below all is quiet. No German searchlights are sweeping the sky. When the attackers are almost over their object a rocket is fired and bursts into a cluster of red stars. The machine has been discovered. At once six or seven searchlights throw their beams atoll. The pilot looks at his watch; it is time to begin bombing. He flies steadily on, although a barrage of bursting shells lies now in front of him. The observer looks through the vices of his bomb sight. He thrusts his lever forward and releases two bombs. A few seconds later he sees the flash of their explosions, and the pilot two dull roars. He signals to the aircraft and the machine sweeps away from the fiery ring of shells and searchlights. A few miles away the airplane flies to and fro at top speed. The puzzled searchlights valyly feel the sky in all directions and then, one by one, are switched off. Then the pilot quickly returns toward the target. Another bomb is dropped. As it explodes the searchlights reappear and the barrage is renewed, while through the shell bursts are threaded the chains of green fanning globes so much used by the Germans. Again the machine flies away and this time to bewilder the soldiers below, the observer fires a white Verey light, which slowly drifts down and fades out. The searchlights follow it until it dies. Repeatedly the airmen return to the attack. Bombs are dropped at intervals until the end of the hour, when the machine departs, flickering fires and clouds of smoke telling of the havoc wrought by the bombs. "YANKS HAVE NO BRAINS; WON'T QUIT," SAYS HUN New Castle, Pa.—"The American soldiers have no brains because they don't know when to quit." That was the observation made to Capt. H. C. Harper of this city, a member of Pershing's army of more than a million, by a German prisoner. "The Hun told me," he writes, "that France is fighting for her existence, England for her honor, but that America wants nothing only to kill Germans." American Soldier Says the Only Treu- ble is Getting Your Own Clothes Back. New York—"French village lau- dries are wonderful places to the American soldiers," writes R. J. Kirk, a former Pacific Coast newspaper man now doing duty over there, to an old- time friend here. "In fact, every French hamlet has a municipal washhouse," he continues, "It is generally a stone shed built over a running stream. Here the old French widows wash the American soldiers' clothes. Soldiers are sup- posed to wash their own clothes, but not many of them do it unless it is a long way from payday, or else they're leaving most of their franks with the paymaster in the shape of Liberty Bonds, wives' allotments or similar payments. "So most of the 'soldiers Americaine' let the old French women do their laundry. They do it good enough and cheeky, but getting back what the soldiers are there in the old wash- is another problem. The old ladies take the socks, olive drab shirts and undwear of half a company, souse them all together in a creek, drag them out, hit them with a paddle on the wooden horses, then pile them and tell the soldiers to come and get them. "Vola, Messieurs" (There they are, gentlemen). "The first man to arrive gets a full wardrobe. In fact, if he happens to be a bit unscrupulous he's likely to get enough duds to last him over the winter. The last man need not go at all; he'll have only his bill to pay." Yanks Studying French.

CAVALRY PLAYS BIG PART NOW CAVALRY PLAYS BIG PART NOW General Foch Used French Horsemen to Advantage in Big Drive. PROVE GOOD FIGHTERS AFOOT Rides 80 Miles in Day and Relleve Hard-Pressed British in Flanders —Makes New Place for Self in Warfare. Washington—Skillful use of French cavalry has marked General Foch's tactics ever since he took over control of the allied armies as supreme commander, according to information reaching military circles here. The horsemen have played an important role in the whole battle of 1918, as the struggle which began March 21 with the first German drive has come to be known. The employment of swift-moving columns in the present counter-stroke of Alpine-Marine line has been noted in the following. Again General Foch took advantage of the mobility of the mounted arm to throw it in wherever his advancing infantry units threatened to lose touch with each other in the heat and confusion of the contest. No gaps have been left where the enemy might strike back, for always the horsemen came up to fill the hole until the infantry line could be rectified and connected in a solid front. The same tactics marked the first use of French cavalry in the battle of Picardy, when the French took over 55 miles of front from the British to permit the latter to mass reserves at seriously threatened points of the line farther north. Cavalry Fights Afoot. A French cavalry corps complete with light artillery, armored cars and cyclists arrived first on the scene in Picardy and relieved the British. They fought it out afoot until the heavy French infantry arrived and took over the task. Three days later the horsemen were on the move again, this time hurrying to the front, where the enemy was being hard at the Lys line. The cavalry had bad as the advancing column of the French infantry columns marched toward St. Omar. In the first 24 hours, despite the long strain of fighting in Picardy, they covered 80 miles without losing a man or a horse on the way. In 66 hours they had transferred their whole corps over 125 miles and arrived east of Mont Cassel. "It was a wonderful sight," writes the chief of staff of a division. "The horses were in fine condition; the men were cheerful and went singing, in spite of the sufferings and privations they had to endure. "It truth, our boys looked a little tired, but they were all very proud that such an effort had been asked of them and all were bearing it cheerfully." The cavalry corps stood in support of the British for ten days in April after the enemy had forced the line held by the Portuguese division. It maintained communication between two British armies and organized the ground from Mont Cassel to Mont Kemmel, while the French army moved up behind it. As the French infantry came into line the cavalry was drawn off to the left in five of the Kemmel diggers and for five days the horsemen, fighting afoot with two infantry divisions, withstood the terrific assaults of the Germans who sought to hammer a way through behind Ypres at any cost. They stood steady bombardment for days, and when the infantry was hemed in on top of Mont Kemmel, the cavalry drove forward in counterattack and held off the shock divisions of the enemy while the French gunners got their pieces away. Later, at the battle of Locre, the cavalry also shared fully with the infantry, blocking gaps in the line, and the final definite occupation of the town for the allies was accomplished by a cavalry battalion. A sergeant and a handful of dragoons drove 40 Germans out of the town, and at another cavalry officer and 20 infantrymen, in a critical moment, the officer waving a pistol in one hand and a shovel in the other as he led the dash which restored the Defend Compelgne. A few days later the same cavalry, after another long ride, met the enemy advance against Villers-Cotteret woods in the Alsine sector, where the fighting today is waging fiercely, and where the horsemen again are engaged. When the Germans drove forward in their effort to get around the forest to Compigne, the horsemen blocked the road between the wooded region and the River Ourcq. In view of this record for swift and dashing attack afoot, the cavalry appears to have established a new place for itself in modern warfare. They are the light reserves; the men who have bolted into battle are of danger to hold until the slow-moving infantry arrives. They have learned trench warfare completely, and General Foch is making use of them in any move that insures them a glorious chance when the day comes for the allies to drive back all along the line. "OH, NEVER AGAIN!" British Visitor Has Sworn Off Mint Juleps. According to His Story He had an idea It Was a "Soft Drink," and His Disillusionment Was Complete. Lient. Hector MacQuarrie, whose book, "Over Here," was recently published, had an experience with an American beverage that surprised him. While waiting for a midnight train in a Philadelphia hotel on a hot night he became thirsty and sought the cafe, where he told the water to bring him a large ice drink and suggested orangeade. The waiter mentioned mint julep. "The drink was unfamiliar," says the lieutenant, "but it sounded good and American people make the most wonderful soft drinks in the world. The very word 'mint' suggested coolness, and the fragrant smell of the upper river at Cambridge on a summer's day came back to my mind as I bask in a large column in the cafe. Hence, I said: 'Right Of Bridge me a mint julep.' He did, curse him With a large chicken sandwich, it arrived. The glass was all frosted, filled with mushy ice, while a dainty little bunch of green mint, with its stems piercing the ice, floated on the top. I was more thirsty than hungry, and I was very hungry. "I drank the jupete at once. It was delicious. For a soft drink the effect was decidedly interesting. My first sensation was a nice singing, advancing sound in my head. I felt myself to be drifting along a smooth stream with overhanging willows and masses of mint growing on the banks. I felt that delightful sensation that one feels when a tooth has been removed with the aid of gas and one is just returning to consciousness. "This pleasing feeling continued for a little while and then I could see the paneled walls of the room, and I heard what seemed a small, still voice talking in extremely bad French to the waiter who answered in what must have been good French. The voice using the bad French was very familiar and then I realized that it was my own. I promptly switched to English, but the voice was still far distant. Finally, full consciousness returned, also a realization of the situation. Then the voice in the distance said: 'Waiter, your d—mint julep has gone to my head and I must catch a train in exactly half an hour.' The waiter's voice expressed sorrow and suggested much water and more sandwiches. I drank water and I ate sandwiches, and the vision of Mr. Pickle, the whibarrier, met me upon a full course, was that in spite of all I could see my watch, but if the waiter had not been firm I should have missed my train. The water and the sandwiches were successful. A faint knowledge of Christian Science picked up from my chief in New York helped me, and in a perfectly stately manner I walked out of the hotel and along the road and caught my train. "I would advise all foreigners arriving in America," Lieutenant MacQuarrel concludes, "to avoid mint juleps. It was extremely pleasant, almost delightful, but a mint julep taken several hours after a meal when one drinks but little at any time, is extremely potent. I have been told since that just after a meal a mint julep is comparatively harmless, and that it is not a soft drink. Frankly, I will never touch one again as long as I live. There are too many possibilities in its icy depths." Something to Worry About. As if we haven't already enough to keep our minds busy, with war and the high cost of living! And our friends, the learned astronomers, who study the heavens just as carefully as the average fellow does the innermost recesses of his pocketbook day before pay, are intent upon adding to our load of worry burdens. They—some of them—believe the sun is going to explode. One of them, writing in Popular Astronomy, points to the fact that our sun is of advanced age, and predicts its finish as the leading figure in our solar system. He finds that our sun is from each side, thus giving its hot center 186,000,000 miles less of room. So you see the sun's center is rather crowded for space.

Washington.—The most dangerous kind of poison gas used by the Germans is "mustard gas," or dichlorodithysulphide. Mustard gas has a distinctive but not altogether unpleasant smell, more like garlic than mustard. It is heavy and olly as a liquid. It bolts at 217 degrees centigrade, and thus has properties whereby it can be distributed in the form of a spray on the impact of a shell. Mustard gas is a powerful producer of tears. After several hours the eyes begin to swell and blister, causing intense pain. The nose discharges freely, and severe coughing and vomiting ensue. Direct contact with the spray causes blistering of the skin, and the vapor penetrates through the clothing. Gas masks, of course, do not protect against this. The symptoms are similar to pneumonia — high fever, heavy breathing and often stupor. The damage, done by mustard gas is a slow and insidious development. The breaking down of the affected tissues is the height being reached from five to ten after the burn is issued. The painlessness is also a marked characteristic. Healing is slow. Mustard gas besides being used in direct attack, is also used for "neutralization." For instance, where supplies and ammunition are being brought up, a few mustard gas shells will result in dangerous confusion and delay. A part of the infantry is "neutralized" if the ammunition cut down. If the shells are well as neutralizes, so much the better. The American mask to fight mustard gas is of the box respirator type. The hood is of the rubber. Breathing is through the mouth, pincers shutting off the nostrils. The gas-charged air enters through the bottom of the canisters, where by means of neutralizing chemicals, it is purified. From the top of the canister the air is drawn into the lungs. This is a one-way shutter valve in the hood through which the air comes out. This mask is designed to last ten hours. For artillerymen the war department has made an oil suit which encloses the soldier bodily. COLOSSAL ITALIAN COLONEL This massive looking specimen of man is big enough to take one's breath away.

SCIENTISTS EXPLAIN THEM Some of the Qualities That Give Americans Superiority in Air Over Their Hun Opponents—Temperament is New York—Considerable concern has been expressed at the large number of fatal accidents reported from our American military and naval aviation training camps. Considering the risks the notice necessarily takes and the very specific physiological and psychological factors that enter into the science of flying, these fatal accidents are few in proportion to the number of men undergoing training, and they are not more numerous than those on the training fields of Great Britain, France and Italy. A perfect knowledge of all the rules of the game of flying will not save a man who lacks confidence in himself and is inclined to hesitate. A half-second of indecision may be fatal. Initiative, the sporting instinct and a certain irresponsibility, qualities inherent in American youth, have been found of far greater value in the air than the logical, scientific, severely disciplined character of the Germans, and account for the superiority of the allied aviators in general. The most eminent of British scientists have devoted special study to the psychological and physiological aspects of flying. One authority says that good eyesight, normal hearing, good "muscle sense" and equilibration are indispensable qualifications. But most important of all is the right temperament—not an easy thing for a medical board exam. But the types the imaginative and the imaginative youth is said to make to the better plot if he can keep his imagination under control. Surgical Operations No Bar. In the British air service previous history of wounds and disease is thoroughly investigated. Persistent headaches, vertigo and easily induced fatigue are serious defects. But sometimes even a serious surgical operation is not regarded as important. Thus a doctor recently passed as fit for flying a man who had quite a large piece missing from the frontal region of the skull. It is much more important that a man should have both arms intact than both legs. A clever pilot who was killed on the western front was Lord Lucas, who had an artificial leg. Considerable importance is attached to the respiratory system. In addition to good, healthy lungs and vital capacity, the would-be pilot must pass a breath-holding test. This gives an indication of his capacity to stand the strain of flying at high altitudes, where the air is rarefied and breathing is difficult. No man with a weak heart can hope to pass the tests. Self-balancing is another test. The candidate has to stand on one leg with his eyes shut and his hands on his hips. He must also the old test for sobriety—walking a certain distance to toe with eyes open and then he must round and walking back without losing balance. The importance of this test can be understood, seeing that an aviator flying in a dark cloud or in a fog becomes unconscious of his position and sometimes the machine is actually upside down. It is essential that he should not lose a second in recovering his balance. The throat, nose and ear are carefully examined, for any defects might seriously handicap a man during the great strain that all flying imposes. With regard to the eyes, it is considered that pilots should have perfect color vision, in order to pick out the color or marking of hostile machines, and in recognizing signal lights and in judging the nature of landing grounds. Air Sickness Bare A candidate who suffers from seasickness or train sickness would not be rejected on those grounds alone. Air sickness, caused by the rolling and pitching of the airplane, is a very rare complaint, and sickness usually occurs immediately after landing. An unstable nervous system suggested by fidgety movements of the hands, feet or face, or biting the nails is a poor recommendation. Aero-neurisis is the name which is sometimes given to nervous troubles brought about by the strain of flying. It has been said that an airman's life consists of "long spells of idleness punctuated by moments of intense fear." He has to endure intense cold, rain, wind and fog, the nerve-racking noise of the engine, the aircraft fire, and to loop, spin, dive or side-slap, apparently out of control, in order to deceive an opponent. An interesting nerve test has been devised to test the best types of airmen for fighting. His chest is a pneumograph, in his left hand a trembler, and around two fingers of his right hand a pneumatic "dolgiter." Behind the candidate a revolver shot is fired or a magnesium flare is set off, and a record of the effect on his nerves is obtained by means of stylets writing on a blackened revolving cylinder.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. Don't let your Liberty Bonds get away from you. Hold onto them, even if you may be tempted to dispose of them. In the first place, the government intended them for YOU. The Liberty loans were designed as people's loans. In order to finance the war the government must have the support of ALL the people. It was intended that you keep the bonds and not trade them or sell them. Promiscuous selling tends to depreciate their value, and that is what the German agents here would like to do. Not only is it your patriotic duty to retain these bonds, but in doing so you are laying up something for a rainy day. The Liberty loans and the Was Savings Stamp issues have done more to encourage thrift in America than anything ever before attempted. They have made bondholders out of thousands of people who never in their lives until now had made an investment. Crafty and unscrupulous individuals are using every means to entice these bonds out of the hands of their owners. One method is to offer in exchange for Liberty bonds stock certificates in fly-by-night companies, worth only the gold paper they are printed on, and represented as returning a much higher rate of interest than the government securities. Those who are not familiar with stock values should beaware of such offers. There are other methods, some savoring of the gold-brick variety; others just within the limits of the law. Liberty bonds are the safest investment in the world. If you MUST dispose of them, you would do well to consult your banker. OUR WAR INTENTIONS "We intend what our forefathers, the rounders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties HISTORIC COLORED LIBERTY CONGRESS (From the Boston Guardian.) June 21st to 29th, 1918, are now historic dates in colored American history. They mark the approach or colored Americans to their federal authority to be a liberal liberty for their racial group. These eight days with a Sabbath day thrown in, witnessed the gathering in the nation's capital of delegates from all sections of the country 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 of loyalty, and in spite of a Jewish war, the Nation was thrilled through the War Department to thwart this race convention, yet there was no waver among these delegates. They came for a share of their race of the world democracy which their leader, the Emperor, claimed 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 dissenting voice. A call. Firm in the conviction that they were true to the real patriotism THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE Washington, D. C., July, 1918. A second Declaration of Independence was enunciated and entered in the records of the U. S. Congress at the time of the ratification of the consent of opinion among thoughtful Washingtonians who heard the petition to the Government read at the closing one of the five public mass meetings of the National Colored Liberty Congress or who have read the document of the Congressional Record of June 29th. Like the first Declaration, this one was the creation of a delegated assembly, a citizens' congress with a national membership. The Liberty Congress was composed of 115 delegates, all of whom were members of Columbia, men and women, protesting injustice and tyranny, responding to a call. Like the first one this Declaration represented the voluntary, uncompensated, sacrifice and natural feelings and yearnings of Americans for liberty and an equal sense of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. . . ." "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the President's Mount Vernon Address. BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands daily by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The bonds are similar in form and design to those of the third loan, and space has been left on each bond for insertion of the exact terms of the bonds. It is believed that a sufficient number of the bonds will be ready to make possible immediate delivery of all bonds of the fourth loan as they are purchased. DUBOIS' SURRENDER. Dubois Mirempreps Race as he Compromises Says Singleton. (Special to the Pittsburgh Courier, by Watter J. Singleton. In the torial article dealing with the war, The Crisis for July contains the following advice to colored men. "Let us, while the war lasts, forget our ranks shoulder to shoulder with our own white fellow citizens and the allied nations that are fighting for democracy." Named Doctor Dubois has seldom packed more error into a single sentence: He says three things in this sentence: (1) forget our special grievances; (2) close our ranks, and (3) fight for democracy with our white fellow citizens and the allied nations. Raises a False Issue in Order to Compromise. Let us consider the last two things first. Our ranks are already closed; they have never been open; they are not open now; they will not be open when we are no longer the doctor's advice be predicated, as it is, on the assumption that our ranks are open, is baseless. The same is true as to our fighting for democracy. That is the one colored for has always desired, prayed and fought for; he desires, prays and fights for it now, and will in future desire, pray and fight for it. Again the dear doctor, offering advice where it is not needed. How Are We to Forget Our Grievances. Now as to forgetting our special 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. 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 rejection by the prescriptive, 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. He urged the heads of both houses of Congress by requests 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 right to exercise extraordinary opportunity could not be secured, so sought the advisement of the government by inviting two members of Congress to address this Liberty Congress. Congressman Martin B. Madden of Illinois and L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, could not be secured, so sought 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. share in the Rights of Man. While the Revolutionary patriots met to initiate war, those race patriets met at the seat of Government when the constitution and without equivocation set forth the denials to their racial element of those rights of democracy to spread which their country was avowedly taking part in a world war. The Liberty Congress' keynote sounded by Maurice W. Spencer, local chairman, the first night, which echoed and reechoed in every speech and in the petition, that was when the U. S. A. was proclaiming world-democracy as a national policy and color discrimination in federal departments, in public places in the national capitol, in government schools, in public carriers under government control, in the election of the president, in the schollshed by congress, which should also make lynching a federal crime. grievances? How can we? The lyncher won't let us. The jim-crower won't let us. The man who practices lynchings of colored people averaging higher than two a week, how are we to forget lynching? With the daily hundreds of colored people of the colony, how are we to transportation, how can we forget jim-crow cars. When a young colored woman, or man, has qualified for admission to the civil service of the government, and is refused appointment when it is discovered that he or she is of the colored race, how can we forget racial proscription the lyncher, the jim-crower keep these things alive, not we. No Other Citizens Having Special Grievances Are Asked by Leaders Then besides no other group of citizens having special grievances are being advised by their leaders to forget them, but to the contrary every effort is being made to correct them. This is due to labor, as to woman's infringement and rights of Irishmen. Why an exception in the case of the colored man. In all charity and seriousness, we hope never again to see the pages of The Crisis defiled with such stuff as this. To keep the ranks closed and to fight for democracy means to protect against mob violence, jim-crow assault and prescription. Where these things exist democracy is not triumphant. DUBOIS WORST COMPROMISOR IN EDITOR'S CONFERENCE. Editor Harry Smith of Cleveland Gazette Says W. E. B. Dubois Wrote "Minimum of Consideration" Resolutions—One of Dubois' Was So Compromising it Was Cut Out by Vote. (The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio.) At the great Afro-American Conference, held in Washington, D. C., a few weeks ago, the only change made in its splendid resolutions was a sentence along the line of the committee's oral tutorial. When approached by the writer and asked if he had written it, Dr. DuBois, secretary of the committee on resolutions,ingly admitting he had done so. This we were laid out, and we did not so until he arose in the meeting and undertook to defend the objectionable sentence, but in vain, for it was stricken out and a proper one unanimously approved. The student started us to thinking (and investigating), but not until we learned that he had been appointed (since the conference) to a captaincy in the army intelligence department, and stationed us at the department at Washington, D. C., did we understand his "reversal of form." More Compromising than Washington, We do not believe that Dr. Booker T. Washington in the hey-dow of his doctrine of the surrender" preaching a thing. O Dubois, Et tu Brute! I can'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 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 it 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. When all the spaces have been filled, the Thrift Card may be exchanged for $5.00 War Savings Stamps at any post office or bank. You should save a certain amount regularly. Outline your program. Start at once by going to the office and getting your first War Savings Stamp or Thrift Card. You will treasure your right to live in this nation of freedom, so you miss a single day on which you have determined to save.

SPJGARN 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 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 that we believe that the defeat of the German Government and what it today represents is of paramount importance to the welfare of the world in general and to our people in particular. We seem it hardly necessary, in view of them, to form a gro-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 at the highest level, not simply people at alive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic, and self-sacrificing participation in the war. Admit Grievances Justifiable and that Race is Restive.

We always to guide unless they can have the active and sympathetic co-operation of the National and State governments. German propaganda amoung 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 Crine 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 a 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 disbeliefs in his own war. He has 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 the victory — From the Boston Guardian. 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 tendency 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 They should not have any rights as "Negroes." 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. A GREAT JOKE (?) Recently some colored editors under the direction of E. J. Scott and J. E. Spingarn met in Washington and asked the government for "that minimum of consideration" for racial wrongs, and they evidently touched a tender chord in the breast of those dear friends of the colored people—the white South. For instance, the editor of the Lexington (Ky.) Herald quotes this conclusion, praises it and naively adds, "Assuredly he is entitled to nothing less." TOUCH NOT COTTON! Fear is expressed in some quarters that the Democrats may lose some seats in the House because the Democratic President vetoed the provision for a price of $2.40 for wheat. They will lose the seats alright, but that will not be the reason. The farmers have never asked nor desired special legislation. They have asked no special favors. All they have ever asked or desired was to be treated the same as others are treated. They are indignant, and have very good right to be indignant because the Democratic administration limited the price of wheat and did not limit the price of cotton or tobacco—Southern commodities. They are indignant and have a right to be indignant because the administration limited the price of what they sell and did not limit the price of the most important things they buy. A farmer who would not resent that sort of treatment would be an unworthy citizen of a nation whose fundamental principal is equality—equal rights for all and special privileges for none. This has been a sectional, partisan administration from the beginning, and there are a lot of people who are not going to forget the fact on election day. amount of money you save as habit of saving a definite best way to learn to save yourself that you will do it one one else, your wife, your teacher, that you will both or first of the week go by Will Help Win The War ment needs money to equip ourocracy.

Thrift Stamps (25 cents) at any AMERICANIZATION The basic need in America at this moment, and for many years to come, is the fusion of our heterogeneous population into an American entity. If we fought a civil war to prevent geographical division, we should find it worth while now to make some deliberate and mighty effort to prevent a more insidious and fatal division. This effort should not be spasmodic and sporadic. It should be constant. The foregoing from the Chicago Tribune hits the nail on the head. And it is especially necessary for the colored people to stop trying to segregate. The colored person who advocates jimcrowism in church or state is an enemy of the Nation. PLUTOCRATS DOING HARM Says the Saturday Evening Post: "The modern pluratic ideal is to soar far away from the common lot and then volplane gracefully back to it. Why take the trouble to soar at all? Why not distribute the millions for the common weal before they are collected in the capacious individual reservoir?" Many of the men who have made great fortunes by questionable methods in some cases, and in nearly every case, by paying employees low wages. Carnegie made a great fortune and is now aiding race prejudice by endowing jimcrow libraries in the South and Rosencrow the Jewish multimillionaire is using some of his money to aid the Christians in proving that their religion is a fake by building jim crow Y. M. C. A's all over the country. 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. You should include all persons born in this country. 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 ON THE RIGHTS OF MAN. 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. 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 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 brutalities and indignities, we remember they are due to the fact that in almost every Southern state we have systematically by law or chicanery 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 insult us and to force our assent to the unjust 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 colored woman shall be welding the ballot proudly in defense of our homes. We are appealing to you neither as vassals or inferiors. Bull Run and Appatomato fixed our status in this nation. We are free men. We are sovereign American citizens—free men who purchased our freedom with blood on every battle field from Bunker Hill and rights and immunities such as are freely granted to others but systematically refused to us. INSULTS COLORED WORLD. Boston Transcript Commits Treason in Preferring Ruin of France Rather Than Mixture of Blood of Colored Races Fighting (Boston Transcript.) 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 and the Italians. Thousands at the Chinese laborers may stay, and so may the black soldiers from Senegambia and other African French colonies. Unfortunately the incorporation of most French population would represent monégalization and degeneration. France would do better, in the long run, to send them home, for the imposition of economic or industrial advantage. It would be more than counterbalanced by the disadvantage of the mixture. France amalgamates all racial elements that enter her gates. Her best hope for entering the country is such a strengthening of her economic and moral bases as would result in a normal increase of the native population, and a steady immigration, enterprising young people from North America, or a source would be greater than those coming from the destruction of her cities and the ravage of her fields.

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." You should not use the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly unaccused as apprehended to millions of colorful speakers and writers, especially for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for any noble or uprising. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, "Negrog," Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degraded. d. its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the mastectomy. e. it has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. it is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro," and "Nigger." g. as stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, slaves and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. 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 civilian service commission to announce that there is an urgent call for applicants for the positions of stenographer, typewriter, bookkeeper-typewriter, accountant, bookkeeper, cost accountant, accounting clerk, clerk qualified in accounting, clerk qualified in business administration, index and catalogue clerk, sched., passenger rate clerk, blue print file clerk, blue print business manager. These positions are open to both men and women. Representatives of the civil service commission at the postoffice in all cities are required to provide 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 the best opportunity to be women have the best opportunity to be in ice to the government at this time. Eighteen thousand stenographers and typists are at work constantly in the government offices at Washington, D. where correspondence and records make up a major part of war preparations on a scale such as the world has never known before.

B. church was somewhat out of the ordinary but quite entertaining and instructive. There was the usual pleasing song service followed by a splendid address by Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilherforce, Ohio, the sub- ject of which was, “Our Women, Past, Present and Future.” She startdd with a text from the new version: “The Lord then gave the word and great was the company of women that published it.” The address through- out was spiendid and was listened to with evident pleasure by the women and the men too. They were so pleased that they raised a collection of over $12 for the delightful speaker. ‘Miss Edythella Adams, who is special- ing in kindergarten work, gave an excellent paper on the work, that was quite instructive and pleasing. Mrs. Jean Hodges of Aukland, New Zea- land, where she spent 18 years teach- ing music, sang, F. Paolo Tosti’s, “To a Mind Worn and Weary” in a man- ner that charmed her hearers. The service was very well attended and every one present felt that it was good to be there. OUR DRAFTEES. Are Given a Splendid Sendoff on Last ‘Saturday, On last Saturday evening between 6 and 8 o'clock Rice Park was the scene of the grandest public demon- stration ever accorded to colored peo- ple in St. Paul. ‘The occasion was the public send- off given to our draftees who left for Camp Dodge. ‘The draftees assembled at the Audi- torium then marched to Rice Park; there were 123 of them, and they were greeted by a cheering multitude of men, women and children of all na- Yonalities numbering about 3,000. Attorney B. S. Smith of Minnie- apolis presided and introduced as the first speaker Col. J. Ham Davidson, who was Colonel of a colored regi- ment in the Civil War, and always has words of the highest praise to say of his men. He was followed by Mayor Hodgson who, as everyone knows, never misses an opportunity to say a good word for the brotherhood of man. "Mr, L. W. Hill made one of his happy speeches and said he would like to talk all his life to such a group. Miss Hallie Queen Brown of Wilber. force was the next speaker and she certainly thrilled the crowd when she said: “The young men I am address. ing, represent the only race in history which has never produced a traitor.” She said a lot of other good things and would have’said more had time permitted.

Before the Governor had concluded his remarks the 16th Battalion band of 36 pieces appeared having come from Minneapolis where they escorted the draftees to the depot. The parade was formed and led by the band pro: ceeded to the depot where the men entrained. ‘Many women caught step with their sons, husbands, brothers or sweet- hearts and marched side by side with the men. "Banners carried by the draftees bore such optimistic messages as, “We've been fighting all our lives, one more won't hurt,” “We're the patriotic Teague of loyal rooters.” The men continually broke into cheers as they marched. At the depot the men joined 126 draftees from Minneapolis and 39 from Duluth. Capt. 0. C. Hall, overseas-secretary ¥. M. C. A. accompanied the men to Camp Dodge and returned Monday reporting their safe arrival. MR. A. A. COLEMAN. The Noted Chef Has Acquired a New + Cafe. Mr. A. A.

Court Ridk 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 1757 Mtry 81, 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."
