Subsistence Wages to Be Paid Men While They Are Learning Trades. Washington.—The manner in which Australia is meeting the problem of repatriating the men fighting in Europe is described in dispatches to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Much interest was aroused by the dispatches, as forestshadowing what the United States must do when the tide of disabled men begins to flow westward. Two principles form the basis of the Australian system: First, that the purpose is to secure the re-establishment of returned soldiers in the industrial life of the community; second, that as a soldier abandoned his civil will serve the state, it is the duty of the state to sustain him until an opportunity for such re-establishment is assured. Subsistence wages will be paid to men seeking employment or being trained in technical schools. The amounts will vary according to the number of dependents, the maximum being 6,3 shillings, or approximately $16.50. A feature of the vocational training planned will be national workshops, wherein men whose injuries preclude the possibility of their ever becoming competent to earn their living as normal workmen will be educated to new tasks and perhaps employed permanently. The actually and permanently disabled will be cared for in hostels, or alternately, by special supplementary to their pensions, if they prefer to remain with their friends. Widows desirous of learning some useful trade will be afforded the necessary training and sustenance. Advances of money will be made in certain cases for the establishment of small businesses, for tools and for transit to employment. Australia also is following the practice of the United States after the civil war of granting land to returned soldiers. Major Blezard, who took part in the historic landing at Gallipoll and was severely wounded, has been granted 700 acres near Echuca. KING ALEXANDER of Greece is shown here coming out of an Italian bombarding dug-out that he inspected during his recent visit to the allied forces at Saloniki. The youthful Greek king also reviewed one of the British regiments in Greece. LETTER WRITING THE RAGE Pretty French Stenographer Is Cause of Literary Epidemic Among the Marines. Somewhere in France—Letter writing has become all the rage among the wounded United States marines confined to the base hospitals here. The reason is a French stenographer, a pretty one, too, who has volunteered to write letters home for her incapacitated American brothers. and the parisienne makes a daily visit to the wounded hospitals for diathesis—and the wounded devil dogs have suddenly become literary giants. They anxiously await her visits and fairly swamp her with mail. "Gee, if I only had about three more anunts and six more cousins to write to," sighed one husky sea-Soldier, as the pretty little "steno" moved on to the next cot. USE BURIED COIN FOR BONDS Mountaineers of Tennessee Dig Up Thousands of Dollars to Invest In Liberty Bends. Johnson City, Tenn.—Thousands of dollars in money that had been buried by the mountainers of east Tennessee was dug up recently and invested in Liberty bonds. Gold and silver currency was lifted from fireplace company gray ware to surround the order trees and taken from the trunks of hollow oaks. Some of the money paid for the bonds dated back more than half a century. The third loan is the only one in which the mountainers largely participated --- VOL.34.NO 41 German Deserter Describes Brutal Treatment Inflicted on Men in Army. Grimes Will Darken History of Kaiserism Forever, When People of the World Learn the Whole Story. Marion, O.—Curt Hadlich, a young German mechanic employed in local shops, one-time aviator in the German army, soldier of fortune and finally an American citizen, not only believes the stories of German brutality that have come from across seas but he thinks when the whole story has been told crimes that will darken the pages of the history of kaiserism forever will come to the people of the world. They will be told not only by victims but by the very soldiers of the kaiser himself. Hadlich thinks. He is a deserter from the German army because of treatment he could not stand. His father is a life cripple from the indignities even of peace times. "The German soldier is treated like a dumb animal," says Hadlich. "He must grin and bear it—there is no appeal." Hadlich's story perhaps is the more interesting because he has traveled enough, seen enough and learned enough outside the confines of Germany to appreciate conditions that exist there. Father Crippled for Life. "My father is a living example of the effects of German militarism," he said. "After the war, if he still is living, I expect to have him come to this country to live as God intended people should live. He can tell story of how brutal German officers are to the soldiers under them. "Like all young Germans, he entered military service when he was twenty. One day his company was practicing scaling. He had been ill and was unable to get over a fence at which practice was being held. An officer struck him with a sword. He fell and his arm was broken. It was not properly cared for, and that arm has been useless since. "While I was stationed at the forts at Metz and Strassburg I saw things happen myself that would make an American soldier think that the discipline he sometimes complains about is in comparison. The soldiers get Sunday off at certain periods and look forward to them because they can visit home. "I have seen it happen time and time again that officers kept some of the men in barracks, apparently merely nursing a slight grudge of a personal nature—perhaps merely to have a bit of sport at the private's expense. These same officers would think up all kinds of punishments for their men, often putting a fellow at some task on his day off while several hundred other soldiers were idle and could have done the same work. Just Keep Them Busy. "I have seen officers order men to carry water from the big barrels kept in barnacles, sometimes three or four stories high, merely to give them a task. After they had emptied the barrels they would be forced to carry the water back up and fill them again. "I have seen privates put to work on Sunday morning with a bucket of water and a tooth brush and ordered to scrub the floors. "I if a private does not shoot or march as well as the officer thinks he should, he is certain to be punished. One favorite treatment then was to require a private to stand erect, then kneel to the ground, repeating the performance for an hour or more. I've seen officers be forced to soldier who be exhausted from the force. Frequently happens that a three days' strenuous drill on bread and water diet follows." Hadilch has taken out his first naturalization and an enemy alien, is listed in the aviation reserve corps and hopes to be able to enter the American army aviation section in the near future. SAYS NAVY TOO SAFE WANTS HUBBY IN ARMY Pittsburgh, Pa.—"TlI sign a release for him to join the army, but not the navy. It is too safe." So declared Mrs. John Bendhson, when she appeared in court against her husband, charged with nonsupport. After much argument Mrs. Bendhson was convinced that the navy was as dangerous as the army and she signed her husband's release. Hazleton, Pa.-The famous Buck mountain, near here, will do its bit in beating the kaiser. The unathractic con which fired John Ericson's Monitor when it defeated the Confederate merrimac came from the ground of Buck mountain and now that same ground has been turned over to amateur war gardeners for the growing of potatoes. GREEK KING VISITS ALLIES Minnesota Historical Society THE ST. PAUL AND MIN NEWEST OF SLACKERS THE APPEAL Is Person Who Encourages Buying of Platinum Jewelry. Government Must Have Metal If War Machine is to Be Kept Going. Washington, D. C.—The newest type of slacker and one who is doing his country a great amount of harm, is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum jewelry, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country is in need of many years will be desperately the scarce and precious platinum in its industrial work and must have it if the war machine is to go full speed ahead. A plan proposed by the federal officials would stop the use of platinum in jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the government who are in close touch with the situation are filled with apprehension as to the future supply of platinum. In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the government in its war program, the war industries are ordered that 75 per cent of the stock is platinum in the hands of manufacturing, commanded and also the complete stock held by refiners, importers and dealers, but this, it is said, will only fill a small gap and that temporarily. It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry would demand more or a white alloy and so release platinum for its highest use, but the results have been disappointing. The American Chemical society, an organization composed of the leading 12,000 chemists of the country, which is also back of this movement, has issued an appeal to the people not under any circumstances either during the war or after the war to use platinum jewelry, but to conserve this unique metal, which is now priced at five times the cost of gold for the exclusive use of the chemical and other necessary industries. SOLDIER INDIAN NAMES WORRY THE SERGEANT Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash.-Sloux from the Dakotas and Chippewa from Minnesota are worrying the first sergeant of the Twenty-fifth company One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Depot brigade here. The Indians, inducted into the national army, insist on keeping their tribal names and are so entered on the roster. The result is that roll call every morning sounds like this: "Johnny Chase-the-Weasel, Look-as-You-Sit, Sleep-as-This-is-the-Water, Mist-Over-the-Water, Charlie See-the-Elk, Antelope, Middle Rapids and Blue Bird." BARBERS BEMOAN TRADE LOSS Women Who Are Taking Men's Places In Industry, Helping Tenorsal Artists Memphis, Teen—Women taking the place of men in the industrial world may be filling the jobs all right, but they are not helping the barber. Visit any tonsorial establishment and ask the man who wields the gleaming blade. He will tell you some of his best customers have gone—gone to fight the Germans. And he will tell you that all the women who took their places are strangers to him. While the barber complains the "beauty doctor" has a different story to tell. She says her patrons are more numerous than ever before, and they are more liberal. They spend money lavishly. A few dollars to remove a wrinkle that has appeared as a result of business worries is handed over without a murmur. Powder and paint and toilet water are used lavishly. GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK "London Michael!" and Countess Endure Reverse Reuncomplainingly in London. London.—One of the Russian grand dukes, known as the "London Michael" to distinguish him from the other Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from great wealth to comparative penny as a result of the Russian revolution. Before the war he lived in one of the finest residential estates in the neighborhood of London. When his income from Russia was cut off he subleased this property and is now a clerk at $2,000 a year in an office near Westminster-abey. His wife, the Countess Torby, conducts their small home with zest and without grumbling. "Probably no family in Great Britain has endured greater reverses than this one, or borne its misfortune more cheerfully," comments the Evening News. S. A. B.

SATU PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA By the Legislature at Its General Session, 1917, to be Submitted to the People of Said State at the General 1918 Election, Together with a Statement of Its PURPOSE AND EFFECT PREPARED BY CLIFFORD L. HILTON Attorney General of Minnesota. Addressed to JULIUS A. SCHMAHL Secretary of State OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA. As required by Section 46, General Statutes of the State of Minnesota for the year 1913, I have the honor to furnish the purpose and effect of the name proposed to the Constitution of the State of Minnesota by the Legislature of 1917, and that is be submitted to the General Election in 1918. * PROPOSED AMENDMENT. Chapter 515 of the Session Laws of Minnesota for the year 1917, proposes an amendment of Article 15 of the Constitution of said State by adding thereto a new section to read as follows: "Section 6. The manufacture, sale, barter, gift, disposition, or the funeral of a person keeping or having in possession for sale, barter, gift, disposition, or the furnishing, or transportation of information in this state from and after the first day of July, 1920, and this amendment shall be self-enacted, the manufacturer shall enact laws for the enforcement of this section and shall provide suitable penalties for the violation thereof." THE PURPOSE of the proposed amendment is to forever prohibit withholding of the gifts in this state, except for the furnishing, sale, barter, gift, disposition or the furnishing or transportation, or the keeping or in possession for any of such purposes, of intoxicating liquor of any kind in this state, except for sacramental, mechanical, scientific or medicinal purposes. THE EFFECT of the proposed amendment, if adopted, will be to make unlawful and forever prohibit the manufacture, sale, barter, gift, disposition or keeping of any such act, or the keeping or having in possession of any of such purposes, of intoxicating liquor of any kind in any quantity whatever, except for sacramental, mechanical, scientific or medicinal purposes, within a place it beyond the power of any legislative authority to permit the doing of any such acts. If adopted, the doing of any of the prohibited acts automatically becomes unlawful after July 1, 2015, and the legislature or other legislative body. The amendment is made self-executing. A duty is, however, imposed upon the legislature to enact laws for the enforcement of this section, if adopted, with penalties for the violation thereof. --- Yours respectfully, CLIFFORD L. HILTON, Attorney General People Accept All Privations in Cheerful Mood, Swiss Writer Says. Posters Remind Citizens That Conservation Will Hasten American Army, by Reducing Cargo Space in Shipping. Berne—The correspondent of the Berne Bund sends his paper a description of life in Paris, which is published under the caption, "War Life in France; Paris as It Eats and Saves." The article says, "Who would have the right possible before the war a world city in existence two days' march behind the battle front? During the first war weeks, after the government's departure to Bordeaux, Paris had been somewhat deserted. But since then everything is back. The big hotels never did better than just now. In the streets there is a traffic that has never been beaten. The stranger notices the many uniforms; he thinks the French capital a big army camp, where military men from all corners of the world meet. Used to Uniforms. "The Parisian long ago became used to the uniforms and forgot that once there was a time when women were the only ones who added color to a street scene. Man gets used to everything. After a while one found the dark streets quite natural. One paid the high war prices without blinking. One submitted to the necessity of a sugar card and learned to get along with a moderate coal supply in winter. "Lately, however, the Parisian experienced things that reminded him of the war rather impressively. The latest visit of German airplanes resulted in energetic measures for protection. At all the beautiful monuments sand bags are piled high. On many large buildings tablets are posted saying there is a bombproof cellar there and how many people it takes to walk the darkness appears Paris wraps itself in a blue vell, which is very becoming. "The electric are lights, the gas lanterns of all descriptions are painted blue. In tran cars, in the subway, in the suburban trains the light is blue, Brisk auto traffic is not without danger under such circumstances." Practice Economy. "Measures of economy are now taken up in earnest. Who wants to drink sweet coffee in the cafe has to bring his own sugar or be satisfied with the saccharine tablet the waiter will hand him. Cakes, pastry and candy are not made any longer. Confectioners are put entirely out of business. The tea houses, too, are in a bad fix. No more sugar or sweetmeats, not even sandwiches, are to be had. And two francs for such a cup of tea is a pretty good price. "The authorities figure everybody will be sensible enough to see that saving is the patriotic duty of every non-combatant. Clever posters tell the people transportation of food takes up cargo space that ought to be used for American troops and war material. So every citizen can see he will hasten the arrival of American help and thus support the French polite by his own moderation and abstemious." INDIANS GIVE TO RED CROSS Pay $900 for Dress, $400 for Moccasins and $1 for Tom Cats in South Dakota. Terre Haute—Mrs. Mary Ellott, governor nurse and Red Cross agent at the Rosebud reservation in South Dakota, writes to a brother here about a Red Cross sale at the agency at which all the money taken in, $7,500, was from Indians. An Indian boys' quartet sang "There'll Be No Kaiser There." An old Indian woman, whose earthly possessions were $1,000 cash, paid $500 for a dress. An Indian "buck" paid $400 for a pair of moccasins. An egg laid by a hen during the sale brought $5. Nine dozen doughnuts brought $1 a dozen. Cakes were $20 and a $2.50 gold coin piece brought $75, and two old tom cats $1 aplece. MAKE BOCHE MARCH TO TUNE OF YANKEE DOODLE Hazleton, Pa.-Leon Beam of West Hazleton writes from France that he and his comrades march German prisoners to the rear to the strains of "Tankee Doodle" and that the Tentons seem to like it. Salute Gives Him Away. Chester, Pa.—Masquerading as a woman, Private John Hutchinson forgot himself when he passed an officer and saluted. As a result he was arrested and turned over to the military for punishment. Hutchinson was dressed stylishly. He wore a low-cut gown, high-heeled shoes, white stockings, summer furs and a large picture hat. ALBUMESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUST CUT IN WHEAT Need for Limitation in Consumption Very Great. Food Administration Corrects False Impression Given by Recent News Dispatches. Washington.—Recent press dispatches widely circulated through the country have given the wholly false impression that there is no longer need for rigorous conservation of wheat and flour. The food administration declares that every aspect of the wheat situation, both present and prospective, intensifies the need for the greatest possible limitation in the American consumption of wheat products. If present restrictions should be in the slightest degree relaxed it would result in serious want for the people of Europe before the new crop can reach the market. The food administration's estimate of the position on the first of June indicates a total available supply until the new harvest, including the grain which will be available from the farms, in country and terminal elevators, and mill elevators, of about 56,000,000 bushels. Of this 30,000,000 bushels must be exported before new wheat is available for export if we are to maintain the absolutely necessary shipments to our army and the allies. That leaves about 26,000,000 bushels for domestic consumption the next two months. Normal American consumption is something over 40,000,000 bushels month, so that the most liberal consumption at home would be only one-third of normal. The harvest will not be generally available in flour until the middle of August or early September, although in the extreme South it will be somewhat earlier. So long as the war lasts, with its increasing drafts for soldiers and workers, the world will steadily produce more wheat, wise, a great harvest will mean the willing building up of great national reserves. "SONG WILL WIN WAR" So declares Emma Roberts, the contralto, who was chosen to represent America's best type in the music festival at Ann Arbor and the great Bach festival at Bethlehem, Pa. "A nation is represented by its songs. The national anthems of America, France and England are spiritual, uplifting, and inspiring; the national anthem of Germany is aggressive and acquisitive—and breathe bondage. "Don't you see that the songs of the allies express a people bound to conquer? "So important is this subject," continues Miss Roberts, "that colleges are establishing bureaus to study the government singing classes in camps to inspire soldiers through song. TOWN IS SHOT TO PIECES Minnesota Village Loses Band and Baseball Team to the Marine Corps. St. Paul, Minn.,—Isle, Minn., was a village of 75 population, situated on the Soo line near Mille Lacs Lake, Minnesota. Not a small part of its population was of young men, so it had a baseball team and a brass band, just as any other really ambitious village should have. The past tense is used advisely. Isle, Minn., still is a village, situated just where it always has been. But in no other way can the past and present be compared. It is without its baseball team, its brass band—and its young men. For the baseball team and the brass band—20 of 'em, have enlisted in the Marine corps. "The town's simply shot t' pieces!" declared an elderly resident, one of the few left. U.B.

GREAT WHISPERING GALLERY Women Are Particularly Active in Seeking Information From Careless Officers—Still Most Cosmopolitan City in the World. London—To Young American fighting men, as well as to English, the same advice is good—that it is a wise and patriotic soldier and sailor who keeps his war information to himself; because, despite repeated warnings about the dangerous habit of discussing military and naval matters in public, London restaurants and hotels are still full of chatterers. In the past women have been accused of being possessed of an uncontrollable passion for gossip, but it seems that men are even worse in this respect. Some idea of the danger of random talk about the matter that should be kept confidential and discussed in public may be gathered from facts that London is still the most cosmopolitan city in the world. The West end is crowded with male and female adventurers from almost every known country, including Germany, and although every one of them would swear by everything that is holy that they are longing passionately for an allied victory, there is little reason to doubt that some of them are spies, and many undoubtedly are potential spies. To give an example: Only recently in one of London's biggest hotels there was a large cluster of Russian women. They were young and pretty, had attractive manners, and were not hampered by any chaperon. They soon found admirers in plenty—just what they were after. Confined Attention to Officers Perhaps there would not have been anything very strange about this but for the fact that these young women confined their attention exclusively to officers, soldiers, sailors, and airmen. They invariably turned the cold shoulder upon civilians, but no sooner did a strange officer appear in the lounge than somehow or other they manned a scrape up an acquaintance with him. Another curious thing about these women was that they rarely spoke to any man for more than 20 minutes or half an hour. Perhaps they would have a cup of coffee with him or smoke a cigarette, but in a few minutes the women made some excuse and went away. Still more suspicious was the fact that several of these Russian women were seen to be constantly conversing with a young Russian civilian. He also stopped in the hotel and appeared to be seen with them to be cross-examining the women. Eventually their behavior attracted attention, and they were watched. The next day they disappeared and have not been seen since. Women Probably Acted for Spies. Of course, it is just possible that there is an innocent, or, at any rate, plausible explanation of these mysterious women. On the other hand it it regarded as likely that they were in the pay of a spy organization; that their part of the business was to collect information, which they handed over to a master spy, who in his turn sifted and checked the data he received, and then in some way or other transmitted them to Berlin. Only the other evening two young pilots were dining in a restaurant noted for its foreign clientele. They were talking loudly and, as is the way sometimes with young men, somewhat heedlessly. When, however, a woman, a total stranger to both of them, sitting at the next table leaned over and said: "I wonder if you can tell me where the — squadron is stationed now; I have a friend there," the youngsters were shrewd enough to say what they know and started talking about them. There is, of course, the wise dictum that "those who talk don't know, and those who know don't talk." All the same it must be remembered that London is one great whispering gallery, and the most casual remark dealing with operations in France or elsewhere may be just the final check wanted by the Germans to verify a vast mass of information obtained from a thousand and one sources. HELLO GIRL'S ANSWER TO KAISER IS LIBERTY BONDS Cleveland, O.-Miss Margaret Hibbard, a telephone operator who has not been over from England long, lost her brother, Lieut. E. J. Hibbard, in action in Europe. Her answer was a Liberty bond purchased from her small salary. Then she heard that her younger brother had also given his life in the battle for democracy in the battle of Pieardy plain. "I went right out and bought another Liberty bond," she said.

NO S. A. T. C. JIM CROW. The attempt to exclude colored students of the Ohio State University from the Students' Army Training Corps was overruled by the War Department in response to an appeal by Rev. E. W. Moore, president of the National Equal Rights League, and now colored students are admitted without any restrictions. If any similar attempt is made in any other schools an appeal to the War Department will right the wrong. DEATH OF MRS. TROTTER THE APPEAL extends its heartfelt sympathy to Editor William Monroe Trotter in his recent bereavement in the death of his wife, Mrs. Geraldine L. Trotter, Boston, Mass. For fifteen years she has been the assistant editor of the Guardian and has given faithful, loyal and unselfish service in years of work for equal rights of the colored people. The editor of THE APPEAL feels that he is hardly qualified to write Mrs. Trotter's obituary so prints in another column an account of her funeral from the leading daily of "The Hub," which shows the high esteem in which Editor Trotter and his estimable wife were held in their "home town." MARBLE INDEX OF A MIND The statue of General Kirby Smith, of Florida, who fought against the Union in the Civil War, now graces Statuary Hall in Washington. It has been placed just in front of General John Stark, of New Hampshire, the Revolutionary hero of Bentonney, who fought for the establishment of the nation which Smith and his brothers-in-arms sought to destroy. Gazing at Smith across the hall, with the front of Jove himself, is Daniel Webster in cold marble, the gift of Massachusetts to the Republic. Webster's words have seared themselves into the memory of every true American, "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." Kirby Smith finds company in Statuary Hall, and if the South continues in control of Congress much longer it is PLAN FOR ORGANIZING COLORED AMERICANS TO SEEK WORLD DEMOCRACY. A National Colored Equal Rights Representative Congress at Washington to Elect Race Petitioners to be Sent to Intercede for Full Democracy for Colored Americans in the World Peace Adjustment. Adopted at 11th Annual Meeting of National Equal Rights League in Chicago, Sept. 19, 1918, and Offered to the Colored People. The time having come in the dispensation of Almighty God when by and through a terrible world war of blood and devastation the doctrine of world democracy has become the slogan and avowed policy of Allied Nations in two hemispheres, and Colored Americans being still the victims of caste discriminations of the most drastic kind with regard to civil and political rights and even the right to life itself, an historic and imperative call has been made to the means to bring to pass the end of the undemocratic condition in which they are living in the country which is the moral leader and military savior of the Allied Nations. Hence the National Equal Rights League to carry out the vote of this body to have the cause for the enjoyment of full democracy by Colored Americans presented at the world peace negotiations and that such representatives may be the chosen delegates of Colored America, shall call a National Representative Congress at the National Capitol on or after January 1st, 1918, to peace petitioners for this, the only group denied democracy in the U. S. A. Delegates to this Representative Congress shall be elected on the following basis: Every Colored community is hereby invited and authorized to send delegates through the organization of Equal Rights Leagues. Every such league already or hereafter organized will be entitled to send one delegate members over the first five religious, labor, civic, fraternal organization of the race may on request to the corresponding secretary of the league become officially an affiliated member and send delegates to this assembly, one for every 50 members. Every national organization for the rights of Colored Americans shall be required to send two delegates-at-large, each such delegate to be entitled to one vote. The executive officers of this league, the president, secretary, treasurer, chairman of executive committee of the District of Columbia branch and the National Executive Committee shall issue the call and make the arrangements for this representative assembly. The registration fee for delegates shall be one dollar. This representative assembly shall elect the race petitioners for the errate in the seat of the peace negotiations for full democracy for Colored Americans. N.

The privilege of conversion which arose in consequence of the issue of $4\frac{1}{4}\%$ bonds of the Third Liberty Loan will expire on November 9th and under existing law cannot be extended or renewed. Holders of these $4\%$ bonds lose nothing by exercising the privilege of conversion and gain $4\%$ interest per annum. Holders of $4\%$ bonds should not wait until the last moment to exercise the privilege of conversion but proceed to do so promptly. Delay will result in overburdening the banking institutions of the country and the Treasury Department by making it necessary to handle all conversions at the last moment, and may result in the loss of the privilege of conversion altogether.

GRASP THIS OPPORTUNITY. The shortest road to a commission in the army is through the student army training corps in colleges and universities. Aside from this opportunity to secure a commission membership in this corps, practically guarantees a place in the army, whether as commissioned or non-commissioned officer, mechanic, or infantryman, in which a man can render his largest service to his country. Men in Class 1 may enter provided they have not been selected for draft before induction into this corps, and those who have registered under the new draft may be accepted before they are actually classified in the draft. Youths or older men should send in applications at once to the school of their choice and take course in agriculture, chemistry, commerce, engineering, journalism, law, letters, science, pharmacy, or any other course taught. This is a great opportunity. The student, by voluntary induction, becomes a soldier in the United States army, uniformed, subject to GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men!

They will simultaneously be placed on full active duty, and contracts will be made as soon as possible with the colleges for the housing, subsistence and instruction of the student soldiers. Officers, uniforms, rifles and such other equipment as may be available will be furnished by the War Department, as previously announced. The student-soldiers will be given military instruction under officers of the army and will be kept under observation and test to determine their qualifications as officer candidates, and technical such as engineers, chemists and doctors. After a certain period, the men will be selected according to their performance, and assigned to military duty. Students enrolled in the S. A. T. C. will not only be serving their country in a manner suggested by the federal government, but they will be in a position to improve their condition for future war or peace work and will grow more and more efficient servants of the nation's cause with each month of college training. As any man who desires to join a "Student Army Training Corps" may select the university or college he prefers we suggest that Minnesotaans have one of the best institutions in this country right at their door in the University of Minnesota, where already 2,200 applications for admission have been made and it is estimated that the enrolment will reach 4,000. Get in before it is too late. FOR JUSTICE WITHIN: In a recent address at Washington Bishop Charles Gore of Oxford, England, said: "It is necessary that we crush Germany, but it is also necessary that the allies convince the workers that they are fighting not only for the overthrow of their foes from without but are as well fighting for liberty and justice to all classes, creeds, and colors within. If with the overthrow of Germany this is not accomplished the war will only have been partially won. This is the thought I am trying to get into the minds of all the people with whom I come in contact. "We must have it thoroughly understood that militarism is but a necessity of the moment and in no sense a permanent institution. Democracy under a military system is an impossibility."

BY THE MIDNIGHT OIL. Have you read the speech of Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, of Illinois, entitled "Unofficial and Personal Government," delivered in the United States Senate recently? If not, write for it without delay, be you man or woman. In it you will find mordant comment on our Government as at present conducted, and what lead up to it, which will put you on your toes ready for a sprint to the ballot box to vote for a termination of such a condition of affairs. The language of the speech is forceful and inimitable; fearless and illuminating. It deals chiefly with one Col. E. M. House, enearth while a colonel colonel and politician in the State of Texas, now the ringmaster of the political circus in Washington, to whom the Democrats bow low, and lower still, when he cracks the whip. Quotations from a book ascribed to this man, given by Sherman, will indicate the program he has in mind to overthrow American institutions and make of United States industrialism a politically-owned monstrosity. The speech may be secured by writing Senator Sherman at Washington, D. C., for a copy. It will make you sit up in bed on nights. $OME OF THE BITS YOUR LI BERTY BOND WILL DO. If you buy a $100 bond of the Fourth Liberty Loan you are lending the United States Government enough money to feed a soldier in France a little more than seven months. Or you have furnished enough money to give him a complete outfit of winter and summer clothing, including shoes and stockings, and slicker and overcoat and blankets, with enough left over to arm him with a good revolver. You have done that much to beat back the Hun. It takes $35 more to arm him with a rifle with a bayonet on it, and if you buy a second $100 bond you furnish him this rifle and 1,000 cartridges for it; and there will still be enough of your money left to purchase a good-sised bomb to throw in a dugout, or demolish a machine gun together with the Huns operating it.

MITCHELL-VAN HOOK "TWO SOULS WITH BUT A SINGLE THOUGHT; TWO HEARTS THAT BEAT AS ONE" Mr. Hobart T. Mitchell, Finding that According to Holy Writ, it was not Good for Him to Live Alone, Took as an Helpmate, Miss Beulah Ethyl Van Hook. When a few weeks ago invitations were issued by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Van Hook for the wedding present at the wedding of Mr. Hobart T. Mitchell and their daughter, Miss Beulah Ethyl, society at once was thrown into a tremor of excitement that grew uncease until Wednesday evening. Occasionally in 83 B.C. when amid a beautiful setting of sunshine in the elegant residence of the bride's parents, 3612 Elliott avenue, the high contracting parties plied their both, the impressive Episcopal servive being read by Rev. A. H. Leaflat, that made them man and wife. Just before the ceremony Mrs. J. H. Grey very sweetly sang, "I Love You" Mrs. L. Oliver was accompanied and also played the wedding march. The wedding procession was led by Misses Corinne Parsons and Martienne Frey, followed by Misses Mary Dreyer, followed by Eden Shull, who stretched satin ribbon forming an ankle for the bridal party. Miss Parsons was gowned in French net, clink lace and pearls; Miss Jeffery, canary taffeta and Spanish lace; Miss Cunningham, white charmeuse tulle; Miss Shull, white satin with ripples and rainbow florals. Miss Mildred Shear, as bridal maid, was beautifully gowned in pink georgee trimmed in gold lace and chenille, over pink satin applipped with roses. She carried a bouquet of pink roses and ferns. Miss Clare Alexander, as maid of honor, wore white georgette over linen satin and pearls, and also carried a bouquet of pink roses and ferns. Preceeding the bride, little Nellie Dodson, the flower girl, carried a daly gold basket filled with roses and daisies. She wore white embroidered batiste. Following came the charming bride, has her petite form gowned in lovely oyster chine, the charmeuse, full court train, with trimming of chinle she wears of fillet lace. She carried a sheet of Easter lilies and Minnesota knots. She was met at the altar by the groom and his best man, Mr. Arthur Rhodes, both conventionally attired in full dress. The bride was given away by her father. The reception followed immediately after the ceremony, and dainty refreshments were served to the more than seventy-five guests that filled the parlors. The popular young people were the recipient of a number of beautiful and useful presents, which displayed upstairs, of which and their doners the following is the list: Pink crepe de chine night robe, Mrs. Fashion Williams.

Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this word. I am not sure 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 use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its importance, ad nauseam, is necessary to massacre the people of color. Negro" is not only inaccurate as applied to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. It was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Bengamblans only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negro-ny, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negras," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. It has been the word used by the Sudanese for two centuries, when formally spelling about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their faction 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 nations of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. OUR COLORED TROOPS. (From Popular Mechanics, Chicago). Had it occurred to you, the universal loyalty of our colored citizens? Have you ever met a colored man in New England who was a pro-German? Do you even know who he has actually seen one? I have personally made this inquiry in the South, in New England, on the Pacific coast, and here at home in the central West, and have arrived at the firm "There ain't no such animal" as a pro-German American colored man. When the big war started and Bernstoff let loose his long and carefully prepared plans of arson, bombs, strikes, and general confusion in this country, one of the most dastardly schemes on which his boss depended, was an uprising of the nine million fort was well organized, bountiful supplied with money, was operated with great secrecy, and at first was carried on outside the larger southern cities. All sorts of impossible rewards were promised; the blacks were to own and rule the South; every sort of poison lie was used to tempt the colored people into a revolt against and hoped this revolution would country buy for the duration of the war. Of all this people in the North heard very little. To the everlasting credit of the col- laboration of the people, the trap, and like the proposed gryph- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cover The human race he test.

At last we entered the war. What then of the colored man? When voluntary enlistment was offered, he responded promptly and in large numbers. During the Civil War, it was no infrequent part of a northern general's report of a battle that "the colored troops fought bravely." The reports which are reaching us of the colored troops in France include more than "fought bravely"—they fight magnificently. Yes, the colored troops are still "fighting bravely." CHARLES H. MILLER. Mr. Charles H. Miller, our wonderful bartone, has received an unsolicited invitation to enter upon service in the War Work of the Young Men's Christian Association, which may be considered an honor that comes to very few and for which his superb strong voice is responsible. A GENTLE REMINDER Of the Patriotic Duty the Colored Voters Should Perform. Tuesday, Nov. 5th (Election Day), will give the well thinking colored men of St. Paul another chance to display their patriotism in the battle for universal Democracy, in that they will be able to vote for the best known apostles of true and practical "freedom of all forever." And that individual is Mr. George J. Ries, who is a candidate for re-election as County Ambassador for Iowa. Our united vote for Mr. Ries constributes an important and necessary step in our progress toward political freedom. First because Mr. Ries has proven himself well qualified for the position which he now holds and sec- tures his constituents and clerks, men of ability regardless of race, creed or color. For some years past, Mr. Orrington C. Hall, who recently left for overseas service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary, had managed to clerk in the County Auditor's office under Ries. Prior to his departure Mr. Ries requested that another colored man be recommended for the position, with the understanding that such a man, like Mr. Hall, must be recommended for his ability rather than for his population, so he happened that the man selected was so well known as well of ability and so, sure to word, Mr. Ries immediately appointed Mr. Ira S. Ashe, 252 Rondo street, a man well known for integrity, proficiency and thrift. If we as a people have not the firms, corporations or departmental superiors thereby we may award to our proficient man the merit of merit and importance, let us at least show our loyal appreciation for the men or firms who overlook the color line and do for our deserving men and women, that which we cannot do for ourselves, that we cannot do for ourselves and the deserving and precious few and our votes should be cast solid and in full for his re-election as County Auditor. ce when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- serve the law, and our lenat disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of An Observer. j ST.

On the 5th of November, 1918, the citizens of Ramsey county are called upon to elect four judges of the Dis- trict Court, and a judge of the Pro: bate Court of Ramsey county. Perhaps there are no offices in the gift of the people of the county of Greater importance than these. Four judges of the District Court, Hon. Hascal R. Brill; Hon. William Louis Kelly; Hon. Fred N. Dickson, and Hon. Charles C. Haupt, are candi- dates for re-election, while Hon. E. W. Bazille, our present judge of the Pro- bate Court is also a candidate for re- election. If you ever need a friend, it is when you are in trouble or your business in- terests are at stake. The best place to have a friend is in the court room, and especially when that friend is the judge, you are sure to get justice, I have practiced law before these honorable gentlemen for the past six years. I have always found them to be friends of all people who come be- fore them, regardless of race, color or creed, and feel highly honored to have the opportunity to vote for them. ‘The experience of these gentlemen should not be overlooked, for experi- ence counts. : Hon. Hascal R. Brill is our oldest judge in length of service on the bench. He should be given a major- ity large enough to corivince him that we appreciate his fairness. Hon, William Louis Kelly ha caused enough seestablishments 0 broken homes, since he has been upo! the bench, to merit his re-election for life. Hon. Fred N. Dickson could not be unfair if he tried, and surely, the bench would not be complete without him. Hon. Charles C. Haupt, tho latest addition to the bench has’ been judge just long enough to show us that we ‘can not get along without him, and he must be re-elected. "Hon. B. W. Bazille has been judge of the Probate Court so that the mem- ory of man.runeth not to the contrary and he should be re-elected for. life, ‘The only way to keep gentlemen of this caliber in office, and to show our appreciation of their fair dealings, is not only to vote for them at the com- ing election, but to see that our friends vote for them as well.
