Men "Scared Stiff" Often Get Back to Normal in Ten Minutes. With the American Armies in France—Shell shock isn't shell shock after all. It's war neurosis, so doctors have discovered. That takes all the prestige and distinction out of being shell-shocked, so much about it won't even admit there's shell shock anywhere. Here's why. Were you ever surprised speechless or scared stiff? Well, that's the same thing going on within you as when you have so-called shell shock. The fellow who went time after time to propose to his girl and couldn't make his tongue work, had the same thing, only on a smaller scale than they do at the front. These discoveries about what they used to call shell shock are interesting and valuable, because they show that the victim merely has lost control over some faculty. He may stutter or his head may shake or he may have the trembles, but it's far from being incurable. Just as the chap who wants to propose finally gets his tongue and gets the idea over her, the shell-shock patient gets back on himself again. Doctors got busy and figured out what ordinary shell shock is. Nobody is scared of it any more, since it can be cured, sometimes in less than ten minutes. The best cure, it seems, is to put your mind on practical and concrete work. Washing dishes, sawing a log, or knitting sox would be good for shell shock because they would give you something you can concentrate your mind and hands upon. In the shell-sock hospital they work on manual training objects, making toys, building boxes, boats or making designs. Anything one can concentrate on is good. Washing out what the propotion is has taken all the horror and danger out of shell shock, and since nobody's scared of it, everybody gets well pretty quickly. Most of the boys go right back to the trenches and never get it again.

Geneva.—Lieutenant Duncan, the American aviator who, with a companion, landed in the Jura Alps with his undamaged machine a month ago and was interned, made a bold but futile attempt to escape from the internment camp at Andermatt on Wednesday night. He made a rope with bedclothes and slid down the wall around the barracks, but when he was some distance from the ground the rope broke and Lieutenant Duncan was badly injured. He continued his attempt to escape, however, and walked in the direction of Goeschenberg, along the railroad line. His escape, however, was discovered almost immediately, and the alarm was sent out by telegraph and telephone. There is a long tunnel between Andermatt and Goeschenberg, and when the aviator emerged from it he was arrested. He was taken back to Andermatt and the guard at the camp was doubled. HERE'S ONE BARBER WHO KEEPS SILENT VOL.34.NO45 HELP THE HOME TO FOLLOW FLAG Campaign for Funds for Service That Wins the Soldier's Heart and Keeps Him Smiling. OPEN PURSE STRINGS Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Counell, K. of C., Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Assn., Salvation Army to Benefit. By Temple Bailey. Not all of war is fighting. The soldier is not always going over the top or killing Huns. A lot of times he is just tired or homestick or lonely. It is then that he thinks of you. It is then that he longs for home. And if you can't be with him, you can help the home to follow him. Let others do it through you who pay for it. With the slogan, "We help the home to follow the flag," the Y. M. A. Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council (K. of C.), Jewish Welfare War Camp Community Service, American Lifesaving and Salvation Army, all of our doing with the comfort and happiness of our fighting men in camp or at the front, and I am constrained to discover, if I can, some of the reasons why modern misers shake their heads and tighten their purse-strings when they are asked to contribute. These agencies give the cup of cold water. Can't you see? You aren't there to do it. You wouldn't be a bit of use if you were. But along come a Salvation Army angel with a piece of pie—and there's a bit of home. Or a pleasant middle-aged woman smiles over the counter of a canteen as she pours his coffee—there's home and mother. Or Mary Pichler's picture screen, and there's darling America in every line of her. Or Sothern recites or Elsie兰跳舞 and he's back home beside you, eager and excited. Let me say this to you who have been tempted to shake your heads and pull your purse-strings tight—the men over there never any home. A trench isn't a home, or a tent, or even a French farmhouse where one is billeted and sleeps on. And for a youngster who has always had a soft bed, two pillows, a hot hatch, grape fruit for breakfast, a whole pleasant American house to be happy in, you can imagine what it means to be homeless, with not a desk nor a chair which belongs to him, nothing but a kit bag and a casual sleeping place. Oh, loosen your purse-strings! Pray for a vision! Let some dream come to you of what it would mean if you were transported suddenly from the softness and ease of your life to a world of fire and fame and horror. Wouldn't you want the light of a fire to be your friend? Wouldn't you want the smiling woman's face, the touch of a friendly hand, wouldn't you think of that but as the only oasis in a Desert of Dreadful Things? Put yourself in his place and if you can't fight with him, at least spend your money for him. He's worth it, and he's worth it not only because he's your lad and my lad, but because he's fighting for the honor of your country, and for the world's need of freedom from the Hun! BOOKS MAKE THEM HAPPY Alice Hegan Rice, author of "Wriggs of the Cabbage Patch," and an ardent member of the American Library Association, is working in the interests of military libraries for the United War Work Campaign. Asked why soldiers should be supplied with books, since their mission is fighting, Mrs. Rice replied in true Mrs. Wriggs style: "When some soldiers in the Civil War was lyn' in camp tryin' to keep from freezin' to death a preacher come along and when he got up to preach he sez, 'Friends, my text is Chilblains. They ain't no use a preachin' to men whose whole thought is on their feet. Now you fellow, git some soft soap and pour into them shoes to keep them shoes on your feet fit well and next time I come around yer minds will be better prepared ter receive the word of the Lord." Fighting men who are made happy when not fighting, fight better, Mrs. Rice believes. The Pollus and the Tommies can go home for their furloughs. The American soldier in France is 3,000 miles from home. His best makeshift home is the welfare hut of the allied war welfare agencies participating in the United War Work Campaign for funds to maintain their work "over there." When he goes on a furlough he goes to one of the huge rest resorts that have been established for this purpose by the Y. M. C. A. This is but one of the many phases of service for which the big drive will be held all over the country, November 11 to 18. London…-It's in the Daily Mirror, so it must be true. In Muswell hill, which is in North London, is a barber who picks up a slate and shaves it in front of his patient. It contains such phrases as: "Hair cut?" "Shave?" "Don't use clippers." "Short at the back." He is stone deaf and never speaks a word. THE APPEAL. ARMY LIFE PUTS BOYS IN SHAPE ARMY LIFE PUTS BOYS IN SHAPE Former Weaklings Now Have Muscles Like a Blacksmith's Apprentice. INURED TO ALL HARDSHIPS Outdoor Work and Proper Food Make Huskies of Them—Army Doctors Continually on Watch for Health of Men. With the American Armies in France—Whether he used to be brail or strong, the doughboy is becoming one of the huskiest chaps on this side of the line. War agrees with the American boy, judging from the solid, healthy-looking specimens you see trudging up and down the lines and holding them. It is a series of surprises you have with the American army, continually meeting some husky who you hardly recognize because back in the States he was "that frail little William Jones." Under Uncle Sam's care he has grown shoulders of a football player, and he marches on a pair of legs twice as they used to be, and you couldn't call him William if you had to—his only name is Bill, now that he has joined the heavyweight class. Despite the fears of the family for the boy, it has done him good to join in Uncle Sam's army. His present healthy condition is due to a number of causes, not the least of which is the physical training he has undergone to enable him to stand hardship. The chap who couldn't take gymnasium at high school because he had a weak heart has become a doughboy who thinks nothing of marching all night with a pack on his back and then standing guard next day. Strong as Blacksmiths. Outdoor work almost continually and being tired enough at the end of the day to drop down and sleep anywhere, has been just the thing to injure the boy to hardships. He is out not only in summer when it is pleasant, but in rain and wind, and his life has made him hard and rugged, and a far better man physically than when he came to France. Jogging up and down roads on an artillery calsson, or handling a huge truck, has given the former drug clerk muscles like those of the blacksmith's apprentice. The kind of food he has had to eat has been tough, too. Good solid "chow" like beef, burgers, and bread, make man-power, and they have lots of "chow" in the American army. It is served up at regular intervals, and it builds muscles in the soldier's arms and legs and makes him have broader, better filled-out shoulders. They have dessert, too, in this man's army, but instead of the pies and cakes of peace days, it is rice pudding, or canned fruit. Then the boy keeps pretty good habits with the army here in France, except for his night hours, which he becomes accustomed to, and which he makes up with sleep in the daylight hours when Germans could see him if he worked. The means of going even on mild "tears" are not at the doughy end of the army, and anyway he is too tired to manhands to think about anything but his work, a situation which is helpful to his state of mind, as well as his body. He is learning good living and clean habits in the army. Doctors on Lookout. Then there are those army doctors who are continually watching to nip anything in the bud that might break down health of the men. A good football team in training never averaged higher in medical attention than Uncle Sam's fighters. Inspection takes place ever so often, and is careful. The men, knowing they are entitled to treatment freely, report sooner for attention. Dentists are far more popular than they used to be, as well as doctors. Even the chaps who are sent back to hospitals gain by the deal, despite the fact that far the larger number of men in hospitals have merely temporary disabilities. The army hospitals run on one basis, that of making a man better for service than he was before. Of course there are men who must go back home after their hospital sojourns, but with the exception of a few cases, they too leave hospitals in healthier condition than they were in when they joined the army. The reason is this: Every means of science is used freely to find out what alls the doughboy who enters the hospital, and before he leaves every means known to cure him has been tried. The cost of cost or whether or not he wants to stay the treatment. He gets it—which is important, say physicians, since an enormous amount of disability in civilians is allowed to increase, because of antipathy of many people to medical treatment. The soldier who arrives at a hospital is practically certain to get an X-ray examination all over, unless his trouble is a more scratch and he is right otherwise. If anything ails him, the medical man find it out, and they go right after the silenced at once. Thus the soldier who came in to get his lungs treated, his lungs treated, his lungs treated, his teeth fixed and his deaf ear operated upon and made perfect. He is a decidedly better human being for his hospital experience. Defective Page YANK GUNLAYERS MAD Say the Infantry Ran Hun "Targets" too Far. When Artillery Get Heavy Guns Into Position There Is Nothing to Shoot At. lain regiment of heavy artillery is broken-hearted over the way the Boches "throw them down," as they express it, in the Saint Mihiel salient. This particular regiment was brought up to assist in the long-range bombardment of the interior of the salient, but owing to the rain and the muddy condition of the roads they were late in reaching their emplacements and setting up their guns. They were due to begin firing in the rear of the enemy lines at eight o'clock in the morning, just at about the time when they thought Fritz would be getting ready to drop back to his intermediary line after his resistance had been broken in his wonderfully strong battlefront. But Fritz never stopped on his intermediary line at all and even his machine gunners did not tarry in their solid concrete and railroad iron blockhouses. So at eight o'clock in the morning, when the heavies should have opened up on Fritz's support line they received not to fire. When their commanding officer protested vigorously and demanded a reason why, they were advised that if they opened up on the targets they had they would be firing in the rear of American troops. So the regiment never fired a shot. The gunlayers took it as a personal affront on the part of the doughbys, who advanced so rapidly they didn't give the heavies a chance to do any business. They declare openly that if the infantry had had any sporting blood in its veins it would have slowed up and given them a crack at the Boches. MUST STOP WASTING PAPER Every Ton of Paper Saved Means Saving Fifteen Days of Man's Labor. Washington—Papermaking eats up raw materials, including wood, coal, chemicals and man power. It takes a man eight or nine days to make a ton of paper. It takes four tons of raw material to make one ton of paper. It takes a man's labor to cut the wood, another man's labor to drive a log down the river to the mill. Every ton of paper saved means the saving of fifteen days of a man's labor. You can save a ton of paper. There are 100,000 men employed in the pulp and paper industry. Think of the men employed in the transportation, in the sulphur mines, chemical plants, coal mines, laboratories and other industries contributory to the making of paper. This man power and this raw material could be saved for war industry. The government needs the raw materials, needs the chemicals—to lick the Hun. Stop wasting paper! A scrap of paper saved is man power saved at the source. "WEAR THEM HEAVIER" IS ADVICE TO WOMEN Cleveland, O.—"Wear them heavier" is the request of fuel administration men here to the women of Cleveland. Lacy garments are cold and require more heat in buildings, whether homes or offices. Therefore, if women will be patriciate they will pass up some of the dainty things they wear unseen and will do more sensible garments, say the fuel men. WORK FOR MAIMED SOLDIERS Useful Occupations Are Taught to Men in Workshops in Wales. London—Mrs. Lloyd George, wife of the British prime minister, has been in her native Wales opening a hostel for training disabled soldiers in rural industries, the first of its kind in Great Britain. Many crafts are being carried on in Tregnant, the little village where the Vale of Clwyd Rural Industries Workshops are established. Toy-making and basket-making are taught to the disabled fighting men, but it is the furniture making department which is especially interesting people, for the work of this branch is to undertake the skilful repairing of old furniture and to reproduce old Welsh designs. Fine copies of beautiful old Welsh dressers and the typical carved oak chests and settles and commodious linen presses of the principality are being turned out by the disabled soldiers. Set New Cattle Record Kansas City, Mo. The largest number of cattle with the highest valuation ever known in the local stock yards is the record recently made by the Kansas City stock yards. 87,700 cattle were left from the previous days' receipts, together with 5,000 from the previous week. A total receipt for the cattle brought the grand total to about 75,000, the record here. At an average of $80 a head the total valuation exceeded $80,000,000. ARDITI IDOLS OF ITALIAN ARMY Famous Shock Troops Undergo Severe Training for Their Work. SHAM BATTLE IS VERY REAL American Red Cross Canteen Workers Are Invited to a "Midnight Party"—Tell How They Enjoyed the Show. At the front—We were serving cold lemonade to the hot, dusty Arditti in our little Red Cross canteen near the front. The Arditti are Italy's famous shock troops, young, dashing, fearless volunteers for the assault, who clear the way for their comrades following. They had been working hard since early dawn and were thirsty. Leaving to continue on their strenuous way, they shouted an invitation; "Come and see us at midnight; we are going to have a show." We promised to come. Roar Shakes the Heavens Late in the evening we set out up the mountain road. So near the front lines lights are forbidden, and we advanced slowly in the darkness. Suddenly dim shadows loom ahead, we slam on the brakes, and with a terrible crash the night is startled into brilliance. Dripping blood, a soldier staggers towards us, and we see in the dilfure flare the outlines of crouching figures; behind trees, walls and wagons. A roar as if the heavens are falling; lower the walls we bend as the shells go screaming upward. A blinding flash, and we see a curtain of fire dropping on the opposite slope. With a muffled roar a sea of flame bursts in the valley below. Wave on wave of fire, rolling relentlessly and Arditi Drill. breaking on the unturned sand of the trenches. Liquid fire! The men crunching beneath the weight of the projectors look like ants confusedly busy. A surprising lull, and the storm breaks. The very mountains tremble. The shrill whistle of shells now answered by a spitfire tap of the machine gun. The unmistakable whine of the torpedo, the whang of bursting shrapnel, the hurting fury of high explosives. The night is hideous with death and pale star-shells hang in the sky, lighting the fearful stage. The curtain is falling, this time higher up with the shock protection the shock troops are advancing face of a withering fire. The steady note of a rifle volley and a man falls here and another there as the machine guns bursty spell out death. Thus Are They Trained. Again the heavens part and the mountains seem afire. Once more the terrible preparation, the barrage rising higher and higher. The sky is red. The second line is passed—and the third! High on the slope the flag waves in triumph, and a faint hoarse shout steals across the valley. The attack has succeeded! The fighting and the turmoll dies. On the silence breaks the measured tread of men and in the light of a flickering lantern we see the stretcher-bearers carefully swing up the road. In wonder we question one another. Simple American Red Cross workers, nummilar with the sterner side of us, attend a party. Where are we? Where are the Austrians? Will they counter-attack? The wounded, the dead? In the darkness we are hailed: "Ah you Americans—you have found us! How did you enjoy our little show Austrians? Trenches? Wounded! No—but it was only a sham fight! It is so we train, we Arditi.

Paris—Several wounds in the head and both legs were not sufficient to deter Private Albert S. Hartwell from siding another wounded American soldier. Suffering intense pains from his wounds, received when a shell broke near him, Hartwell carried the other wounded boy to a dressing station for help. His bravery and self-sacrifice have brought him the award of the distinguished service cross from General Pershing. Hartwell, an American, had been living in Paris with his mother, Mrs. Pauline Nellie Hartwell, 18 Rue Ponceau. He is a member of the United States army ambulance, serving with the French army, and had been gassed on July 18. The citation reads: "He repeatedly drove his ambulance over a road east of Relms that was under bombardment of gas and explosive shells. On one occasion, while cranking his car, he was knocked several yards by the explosion of a shell, yet he continued his work. Another day his car was hit by a shell and badly damaged and he himself was badly wounded in the head and both legs. In the wounds he carried a wounded man who he had landed to a place of safety, made him comfortable, and then crawled to a dressing station for assistance." YANK GENERAL IN RETREAT First Time He Ever Did it, but it Wafer From Daisy Lau, It Was A Port in France.—It was all quite new to the general. He had just landed and after two days in port was making his way from Here to There (no, neither of these is the name of a French town). The general was a soldierly figure, dignified as most generals are, and with him in his compartment of the first class car were the members of his staff. The day was hot and the voyage uneventful until the train pulled at a function. On the train truck was a train going in the opposite direction. The general's carriage came to a halt directly opposite the third class compartments, filled with peasants in their quaint costumes and bonnets. The general leaned out interestedly and surveyed the assorted crowd. As he leaned out a comely young girl in the other compartment did the same thing. “Ellos,” said she to the general. The latter looked rather startled. “Er-er-Helloa!” he responded rather faintly. “American,” accused the girl triumphantly. “Me speak Eenglesesh.” Dul,” admitted the general. “The out” returned the fair one, with a burst of laughter. It was too much. The general retreated for the first time in his life, amid the discreet snickers of the members of his staff and roars from the rest of the car. LONGEST NAME IN DRAFT Atlanta Likely to Lose Nikitag Papa napokiopologo, Who Is Altanta, Ga.—Nikiting Pappankiokolopolus, Atlanta, is right up in the forefront of the list of men in the new draft. In fact, he is No. 4 in division No. 2, and it appears that Atlanta is about to lose Mr. Pappanki-etc. unless he has some brothers, Mr. Pappanki-etc. undoubtedly has the longest name in the Atlanta directory, and just what the officers out at Camp Gordon will do with it in case Mr. Pappanl-etc. is taken there remains to be seen. However, they've had considerable experience with names and Mr. Pappan—etc. needn't be a bit surprised if they make his monster something. short and snappy, like "Nick Papp." TATTOOED HEAD OF KAISER BETRAYS HUN Altoona, Pa.-When Paul Kraul appeared before the examiners of the Blair Four draft board he exhibited a breast on which was tattooed a life-size head of the kaiser adorned with helmet, plumes and black eagles. An investigation revealed that Kraul had escaped from a German ship interned in an American port. He had waived deferred classification and wanted to join the American army. He was held for further investigation. As the Yank Saw It London—Pershing's offensive has revived a month-old story which may not have reached America, though it reached the music hall stage here. "An American, ch," said one of the perennial casual inquirers to one of the first American soldiers seen in England. "What are you, Y. M. C. A.?" "No," drawned the Yank. "I reckon we're the Salvation Army." $2.00 PER YEAR SIMS' MEN FIGHT U-BOATS DAILY Win Exciting Battles With Huns Near the Bay of Biscay. KEEP TRANSPORT LANE OPEN Because of Unceasing Watch and Gallantry of Crews Shipping Losses Have Been Confined Largely to Freighters. American Naval Base, France.—American destroyers, aided by French and British vessels, are battling with the enemy submarines day and night to keep open the lane through which American troopships are bringing the great army of American soldiers to France. Hardly a day has passed during the last month in which the American naval convoy fleet has not had an encounter with a submarine foe leaking near the Bay of Biscay, beyond the waters of Spain and Portugal. August was the month of greatest danger and greatest vigilance, for the number of American troops coming to France reached its maximum in that month. Keep Transport Lane Open. Because of the unceasing watch, never-ending readiness to pounce upon the German submarines, and the gallantry of board the American and other destroyers, troopship losses have been confined almost exclusively to freight vessels. The steady arrival of American troops has progressed uninterrupted throughout the period of chief menace. Most of the vessels successfully attacked by submarines have been outward bound from French ports. Ten American destroyers took part in one of the most successful submarine hunts on August 9. They were heading south in column when the leading destroyer sighted a periscope on her port bate at 800 yards and gave chase. The submarine submerged, but the destroyer steamed ahead of her and dropped two depth bombs in her path and then let go 14 charges in a circle. Suddenly the bow of the submarine emerged and became the target for the shells of the destroyer. As the submarine again submerged, apparently helpless, the destroyer passed directly over her and dropped two charges directly on her at a depth of 200 feet. Nothing further was seen of the enemy, and it is believed his craft was completely destroyed. Another encounter followed a submarine attack on a big American repair ship entering port here. The submarine's torpedo, dred at close range, just missed the rudder of the American vessel. An American destroyer attacked and dropped a barge of depth charges. A streak oil came to the surface, indicating that the submarine was following a zigzag course. **Destroyed by Depth Charge.** Another destroyer and several submarine chasers joined in the hunt, dropping depth charges on oil patches along the route. It is believed the submarine was damaged and that several days later it was destroyed by a depth charge. Unusual activity was displayed by the submarines in the Bay of Biscay for two days on August 15 and 16. One American destroyer reported that she had destroyed or damaged a large enemy submarine on August 15. But the same day three American freighters were attacked and two of them, the Montanan and Cubore, were sunk. More than 450 of the crew of the French cruiser Du Petit Thouars were rescued by American destroyers when she was torpedoed on August 8, eliciting a note of thanks from French naval authorities to the American naval commander. Highest tribute was pled by the naval commander in France to American French, and Bitts ish destroyers which managed to bring into port the American freight steamer Westward-Ho after she had been torpedoed, thus saving an extremely valuable cargo of airplanes, field artillery, rifles, machine guns, and ammunition. "CUT OUT FISH," SAYS EDITOR Walter Consults Head Walter and Assistant and Then Uses a Knife. London—Dr. E. J. Wheeler, editor of Public Opinion, looks the part of an eminent scholar, but he speaks United States idiom, occasionally to the mystification of waiters who served him during the tour of the American editors. Wheeler arrived in the dining room late for dinner and, having an engagement immediately after, decided to have dinner as quickly as possible. "I will have no soup and you can cut out the fish," he told an attentive Swiss. The waiter withdrew静ly. Presently he was observed in earnest consultation with the head waiter. The latter dignitary called another waiter into conference. After a few minutes' deliberation, heads close, the waiter slipped away and came back with a knife. He picked up the platter and, going to Wheeler's place, very carefully extracted the fish bones. That, the editors understand, is Swiss for "cut out the fish."

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1918. THE ELECTION. The American people have selected their representatives in the next Congress and the Republicans have a majority of the House and may have control of the Senate. The balance between the executive and legislative departments of the government has been restored. Republican congressman have given unstinted aid to the President in the conduct of the war and now that they will have greater authority and responsibility it is safe to say that they will not betray the trust. The election of a Republican Congress means that the United States is still a republic. Ever since the Democrats came into power the government has been sectional and partisan and, in spite of the old Democratic dogmas of states' rights, there has been an insidious drift toward centralization of power in the executive. The people have repudiated sectionalism and partisanship in the formulation of national policy. The election means that the United States is to have a government of the people, for the people and by the people. WHAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE DONE. When the Democrats came into power in 1313, several colored men were holding high offices at Washington, including an Ass'tant Attorney General, a Register of the Treasury and an Auditor for the Navy, all appointed by a Republican president. The Assistant Attorney General was asked to resign a few days after March 4; the Register of the Treasury remained in office for about two months before he was called on to walk the plank and the Auditor for the Navy was permitted to draw his salary about three months before he was separated from the pay roll. These men were regularly appointed by Republican Presidents and confirmed by the Senate. Their duties were the same as those performed by their respective predecessors and were in no way segregated or confined 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 American 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 come to Colored America to exhaust every peaceable means to bring to pass the end of the undemocratic condition in which they alone, of all citizens, live in the country which the moral leader and military savior of the Allied Nations are the National Rights League to carry out the vote of this body to have the cause for the enjoyment of such representatives may be the chosen delegates of Colored America, shall call National Equal Rights Representative Congress at the National Capitol on or after January 17, 1918, to elect such 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.

A colored judge of the municipal court of the District of Columbia has been allowed to retain his office, which is a local one. A few new places have been given out, but nothing to compare with the places lost and in the majority of cases are strictly along segregated That is what the Democrats have done NOT ON YOUR LIFE! One of the latest popular songs in the Democratic South, has the title: "In 1960 You'll Find Dixie Looking Just the Same," and this is part of the chorus: "You'll find the colored aunties, In their shanties, Singing sweet and low: In the land of Old Black Joe." But things do change even in the "land of Old Black Joe." In 1860, millions were in what then seemed to be a hopeless bondage, but 1863 found them free. Then came the infamous "Black Code" which legally sought to re-enact slavery, but these unjust laws passed away and the colored man was marching on to Americanism. His progress was so rapid that the South became alarmed and instituted the scheme of elimination by lynching. Then came the subtitle plan of segregation championed by Henry W. Grady. When Grady died, a yellow man who called himself black, took up the Grady plan and passed it on to Caucausian America as something original. He was willing to have millions of Americans treated as parliads if he could gain the title of "great negro." The vicious Grady plan has been very generally adopted and today 12,000,000 patriotic Americans are denied civil rights which the other 90,000,000 of Americans enjoy, largely as the result of the "separation" espoused by a few so-called "great negroes" and a lot of little lickspittle leaders. The present war will revolutionize the world. America will give freedom to Europe and when the colored troops return after their triumphal entry into Berlin, things will begin to change in this country. GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men!

Forty years from now, the great mass and mess of cringing jimcrow leaders will be dead and gone to their punishment—and the fires of hell are what they deserve. In their places will arise a new leadership of strong men, untainted by slavery, unpurchasable and unafraid. They will demand absolute civil equality with all other Americans and they will have the backbone, the money and the political power to enforce their demands. Segregation in all its forms, discriminating laws, political injustice and social degradation will vanish even in the South. No! In 1960 you'll NOT, "find Dixie looking just the same." CONTEMPTIBLE DOINGS: The segregation policy of the Democratic party is one of the most contemptible petty tyrannies and exists in no other country in the world. Its purpose is to humiliate and put in an inferior position the colored people of the country. The Washington policy is comparable with the mob murders of the South for it is really a lynching of the finer feelings of humanity. The separation in the lavatories of the various departments and in the Senate galleries is an outrageous thing and absolutely uncalled for. THE GERALDINE L. TROTTER MEMORIAL FUND A movement is on foot in Boston to raise a fund of $3,000 as a memorial to fittingly commemorate the great career of Mrs. Geraldine L. Trotter and at the same time to aid The Guardian. Mrs. Trotter died that The Guardian might live. THE APPEAL has subscribed $5.00 to the fund and a check for that amount has been mailed, and we trust that every person who appreciates Mrs. Trotter's sacrifice and the service of that fearless, unafraid and uncompromising journal, The Boston Guardian, will assist in raising the money, which will be handled by a committee of one hundred prominent Boston citizens. The colored people of the United States owe a debt to the Trotters, which all of the gold of the earth would not wipe out. They were the leaders in the fight for justice. Surrounded on every side by cringing sycophants who were willing to sell the rights of the people for a mess of pottage, they stood almost alone and refused to surrender one jot or title of what they knew to be their rights as Americans. There ought to be no trouble to raise $3,000. At least $5,000 should be raised. Any amount will be re- like this demands true faith and ready hands; does not kill; e cannot buy; and a will; who will not lie; demagogue latteries without winking! live above the fog e thinking ceived. If you can not give $5.00, give $1.00, or even less, if that is not possible. The important point is to give something and give it NOW. Subscriptions may be sent at once to Mr. Edgar P. Benjamin, 34 School Street, Boston, Massachusetts. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION AND DO IT NOW! 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, erstwhile a popgun 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 o'nights. 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 Bentington, 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 predicted that if the stone replica of Jeff Davis is finally set up there he will find a working majority among his Confederate cronies. Florida might well have selected Stephen R. Mallory, United States Senator, deceased, who did much good work for the Republic, but evidently Florida, as well as the rest of the South, feels that the opportunity is here to pay tribute to the memory of the Southern secessioners. The statue of President James Buchanan is also in course of erection at the Capital of the nation. BIG VICTORY FOR ANTI-PACIFISM ROOSEVELT SAYS. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Nov. 7.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt in commenting on the outcome of the election this evening said: "It appears that we have a Republican congress; such a result must be a cause of profound thankfulness to loyal and far sighted Americans. The Republicans made the fight on the unconditional surrender issue, and their victory serves notice on Germany that Foch will dictate the terms of armistice and that the terms of peace will be determined by all the allies representing the free and democratic world acting together against kaiserism in the first place and against all tyranny whether of the Hohenzollern or the Bolshevik. "The result of the election is really extraordinary inasmuch as the entire pro-German and pacifist vote was behind the Wilson Democratic ticket and in view of the further fact that the enormous war powers of the administration have shown such adroit and unscrupulous partisanship." WILSON'S HOME DISTRICT VOTED REPUBLICAN AND WET. Princeton, N. J., Nov. 7. —The Republicans carried President, President Wilson's home town, in Tuesday's election. Both the borough and the president's own district—the Seventh—gave small pluralities to Gov. Walter E. Edge, Senator David Kirkwood, John Kirkwood, the Republican candidate for governor. On the question of prohibition the borough voted "wet." LOANS TO OUR ALLIES The extension of a credit of $9,000,000 to Belgium made recently makes the total advances by the United States to Belgium $80,020, 000. The total amount advanced to date to all of our associates in the war against Germany is $7,529,476,000. WHO CAN REFUSE TO GIVE THEM TEN CENTS A DAY Ten cents a day, used through the United War Work Campaign agencies, means the comfort of a soldier or sailor for a day. The organizations participating in the United War Work Campaign are recognized by the United States Government as part of the military machinery that is to render the Hun helpless. The Government, raising its own necessary funds by bonds and taxes, cannot in this manner finance the work done by the United War Work Campaign agencies. Out with your ten cents a day! To Earn and Give $5 is the Pledge of Victory Girls. "Every girl pulling for Victory." This is the slogan of the Victory girls. This is the slogan of the Victory girls. "Everybody is doing something to win the war but me," a fourteen-year-old girl said. "I'm left out. I can't buy Liberty Bonds or go to France as a nurse." It is for the "left-out" girl who wants to make a real sacrifice for the men at the front, that Victory Girls "Earn and Give" division of the United War Work Campaign has been established. Victory Girls is as much an army at home as the men in the service are an army wherever they are called. Like Victory Boys, they are an "Earn and Give" division of the United War Work Campaign. When a girl enrolls she pledges herself to earn a stated sum for war work. This means that no girl, or boy either, can give any money that she or he has not earned. The Department of Campaign Divisions in the National Organization, of which A. H. Whitford is director, has appointed Miss Gertrude Gogin, Girls' Work Secretary of the National Y. W. C. A., secretary of the girls' division of the Victory Girls. Both are working in the campaign in which seven national organizations are co-operating—the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council (Knights of Columbus), Jewish Welfare Board, War Camp Community Service, American Library Association and Salvation Army. To insure the greatest understanding and co-operation in the work done with Victory Girls and Victory Boys, a director has been appointed to act for the National Catholic War Council and representatives of Catholic Women have been appointed in various local committees. —Keep Them Smiling— UNITED LEADERSHIP WILL BRING VICTORY Lansing and Lane Endorse Campaign for Funds for Welfare of America's Fighting Forces. Washington, Nov. 6. — Hearty endorsement is given today by Robert Lansing, Secretary of State, to the United War Work Campaign, in a statement urging support of the drive for $170,500,000 for the continuation of soldier and sailor service work by the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., National Catholic War Council (K. of C.), War Camp Community Service, American Library Association and Salvation Army. "The wise policy for a united campaign, which has been adopted by the patriotic men who are directing the various organizations charged with the welfare of our fighting forces, has my hearty approval." said Mr. Lansing. "While they, acting separately, have done and would continue to do splendid work, combination will greatly add to their efficiency and usefulness. I am sure that the American people will give to the united effort the same support which they gave in the past to the separate organizations. It is enough to say that it is for our boys across the sea." Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior, summed up as follows: "Under a united leadership in France our men are making a drive for us, and under a united leadership in America we are making a drive for them. May we be as successful as they have been!" —Keep Them Smiling— YOU'D GIVE YOUR LAST CENT! If you came across a man dying for the want of a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, what would you do? You'd spend your last dollar to see that he got it! Supposing your boy or one of his pals lay on a foreign field, wounded, needing help that money could buy. You'd beg every last one of those within a dozen miles to do all that they could for the poor lad—and hang the expense! That's exactly what it means when you donate to the United War Work Campaign fund which goes to the various war welfare agencies with which your son is in constant contact. You are ministering to some neighbor lad if not your own—or perhaps to many of them—in the only way that can really help them in those trying times when every bit of comfort is the saving grace that makes the horror and hardship endurable and keeps them steady and sane.

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Saye 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 "Megro" by 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 foe 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 counten the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. tor 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 Bols and Washington feel that its repetition, and a nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as applied to millions of coloured people, but it is also alarmingly injurious to the people. 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. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negroy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negrofly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degrading. 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 masculine term. 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 of 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, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours, OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. OUR COLORED TROOPS (From Popular Mechanics, Chicago). Had it occurred to you, the universal saly loyalty of our colored citizens? Have you ever met a colored man in this country who was a pro-German? Do you even know anyone who thinks 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 conviction "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 colored people in the South. The effort was well organized, bountifully fed, money, money, was operated with great secretion, and 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 the whites. It was expected and hoped this revolution would keep this country busy for the duration of the war. Of all these people in the North heard very little. To the everlasting credit of the colored people they refused to be led into the war, and the concentration in India and Egypt and some other countries, the plot miserably failed. 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."

A Liberty loan bond is the safest investment in the world, and a prudent man will very carefully investigate any effort to induce him to exchange it for a less safe investment. This lending one money on Liberty bonds as security to purchase stock in the lender's company is in many cases only a thinly disguised method of exchanging stock of doubtful value for Liberty bonds of unquestioned value. It is a good business and it is patriotism to hold your Liberty bonds. Reforms Needed at Home. (From The Christian Register.) Race bitterness makes argument, or discussion, or any effort to come to a common understanding quite useless. Where much racefeeling is engaged, reason is neutralized. With some people, questions of the rights of colored people are a constant. Constituents of the people of California have become impossible. They simply can not discuss the subject. While this is the case in this country, we have enough to do in cleansing our own blood of germs of conflict without thinking it our main business to reach across the water in restraint of war. War is incipient among us in these matters, and cruel barbarities frequent enough, to keep us busy reforming ourselves. Billy Sunday speaks out emphatically, acrobatically and ungrammatically, almost every wrong in the country—exactly wrong in the brave man, not afraid to tackle anything, and do some good where it is he wants to show that he is a real most needed, let him speak out against race prejudice. An Apologist. (From the Washington Bee.) The Bee, at the time Major Moton was named by a committee of apologists, said then that he was a "Hand-picked Leader." The condition of the colored race in this country is due to these "hand-picked leaders." Now, in the first place, Major Moton represents a class of white men and not the Colored Americans. He is not only a "hand-picked leader" but an apologist who fails to resent an insult. Would any American white man of any nationality attempt to make excuses for an insult to his wife by a common carrier. Has this not been the policy of all hand picked leaders? This hand picked representative apologizes for the insult offered his wife while enroute to her home. Will Major Moton, the newly installed principal of his suit for damages? No, he would offer an apology to those who had insulted his wife. The Bee has always been an admirer of Major Moton, and thought that he possessed manly traits, that would commend him to the thoughtful consideration of the American black race, but The Bee must confess that he is a hand-picked leader and an apologist. Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for distranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their origin to Africa, and there is no more right than one colored people Negroes than to call the people Turks or Armenians."—*Ex-Askistant United States Attorney General Wm.

He at once rushed to that city on Wednesday only to learn that she had an attack of Spanish influenza and he was not allowed to see her. So his trip was all for naught.

Remember that the present time the Postal Service is handling the largest volume of mail in its history and of greater importance than at any time during its existence. Conditions are abnormal; man power has been reduced; it is your duty as a citizen to co-operate to the fullest extent and do your share to lighten the burden by following out suggestions given out by the Post Office Department from time to time along the lines of economy. 1. Remember that at the present time the Postal Service is handling the St. Paul Post Office up to the present and has contributed in man power to the Army and Navy 120 of our skilled employees. 3. Conserve the man power of the country by mailing your Christmas parcels early. 4. Shop early—mail early. 5. Whenever possible, deposit your mail at the Main Post Office. 6. Wrap parcels securely, address them plainly, and mail them early. 7. Never mail a letter or package without having your return address in the upper left-hand corner. 8. Remember the Postal Service is your business; make it more efficient by co-operation. 9. When mailing, use stamps of large denominations; this conserves paper, saves man power in cancellation, and expedites the handling of your mail as well.
