NO. 52 Italy's the HOISTING HEAVY ARTILLERY UP THE FACE OF A MOUNTAIN © WINDWIND & WINDWIND BARRACKS ON THE FACE OF A PRECIPICE By DR. FELICE FERRERO, Director Italian Bureau of Public Information. The blood and treasure of Italy were freely spent in the successful effort to put Austria-Hungary out of the war. While Italy's efforts were not confined to the Austrian front, her contribution to allied success was greater here than in the other places where her troops fought the battle for civilization. Her financial and industrial efforts have been equal to her military effort, and in all these directions Italy has not lagged behind her allies. That the nature and extent of these efforts may be better understood by the American public, I wish to review them briefly. In considering Italy's military contributions, let me emphasize the fact that her soldiers have not confined their fighting to their own soil. Like those of her allies, they have gone far afield, and have expanded largely to the glorious victory of the Italian large contingent in France first gave powerful aid in the defense of Rheims, then took part in the advance of the allied forces. Italy Had 5,500,000 Under Arms. Since the beginning of the war Italy has called to the colors little less than 5,500,000 men and has suffered a loss of almost 1,500,000 of them. Of that loss nearly 350,000 died in battle, and 100,000 from disease. Over 550,000 are totally incapacitated, either by blindness, loss of limb or tuberculosis. At least 100,000 of the Italian army is 4,025,000, including the class of men born in 1900, who have been called to the colors recently. It may be said, then, that the nation's man-power has suffered a permanent loss of nearly a million. But, serious as is this loss, Italy has inflicted an even greater punishment upon the foe. In Austrian prisoners alone she has taken approximately a million. The Austrian loss in killed men is greater than us, but even the most conservative estimates make it far greater than ours. In the June offensive on the Plave alone over 200,000 Austrian dead were left on the field. Fighting Under Extreme Difficulties. Aside from their achievements in other theatres of the war, Italy's soldiers have fought through fifteen furious offensives on the Isonzo and the Plava, inflicting terrible losses on the foe in each. These campaigns were carried on in mountainous regions and under rigorous weather conditions that taxed to the utmost the genius of the military engineers and the endurance of the troops. The foe, when hostilities opened, were entrenched in carefully prepared and seemingly impregnable positions, backed by a network military roads and railroads. On the Italian side were deep gorges, unscalable cliffs, almost impassable glaciers, passes filled with snow and commanded by Austrian guns. There were no suitable roads or bridges. The surrounding of these difficulties has chal- lenged the admiration of the engineering world. Over 2,500 miles of roads have been constructed on the mountains of Italy and of Albania, and 1,000 miles of aerial cable railways (Teleferiche) have been built to carry food, ammunition and runs over deep ravines. Economic Difficulties. The magnitude of this military effort can be fully appreciated only when one takes into consideration the economic structure of the nation and the nature and number of its population. One must remember that out of 38,000,000 inhabitants in Italy at the beginning of the war only 17,000,000 were male. This seeming disproportion is caused by emigration, which was largely composed of male adults. Out of those 17,000,000 only 9,000,000 were adults economically productive. Consequently the subtraction of the mobilized forces has had an acute reaction on the economic life of the nation. It is estimated that on an average only 100 adults remained in each town or village to provide in each case for some 320 children below the age of fifteen. Furthermore, the traditions of Italian family life render the work of their women an economic factor of less importance than in some other countries, though it has been utilized to the utmost and is becoming more available as old traditions give way to war's necessity. No Troops From Colonies. Italy got no help from colonial contingents. On the contrary, the scarcity of native troops in Italy's colonies compelled the government to reinforce them with troops from the mother country. Nor has help come to Italy through the co-operation of workmen of neutral or allied countries. Italy, on the other hand, sent a large compelled workmen to France, thus allowing release valued elements for war. Furthermore, nearly 500,000 of our male adults resided in America gave to this great nation direct contribution to her economic and military efforts. To meet their military obligations, therefore, the Italian people have been compelled to cut into the most urgent needs of agriculture and industry. Her continuous lack of labor has made the task of feeding the army and providing it with munitions a most difficult one. And yet Italy, lacking labor and industrial development, lacking almost entirely coal and raw materials, has by a miracle of energy been able to create almost from nothing a powerful organization of war industries.

It is not necessary here to enlarge upon the well known fact that Italian markets were largely under the domination of Germany and Austria. That is a situation that is as well known to Americans as it is and was distasteful to Italians. And it might be said in passing that it is a situation that must be guarded against by allied co-operation and sympathetic economic relationship when peace comes. H. Sissi H. Sissi, vice president of the Ministry of Trade Company, in a recent article on the economic situation of Italy points out that while Germany before the war dominated the foreign trade of Italy so far as manufactures were concerned, that country was one of the best customers of the United States in raw materials and foodstuffs. That writer also points out that it was the adjustment of her industrial and commercial life to the burdensome new conditions that has created an entirely new economic fabric in Italy. "The devotion of her resources to war purposes has been complete," says Mr. Sissi. "Her pre-eminence in the certain articles of commerce made her a chief source of supply for similar products of warlike nature. Her ordinary production of automobiles, aeroplanes, turbines and heavy oil engines has merely been intensified and modified in the direction of such a standardization as would permit quantity production." Financially Italy Responded Well Financially Italy also responded well to the demands of war with an openhandedness that has surprised even herself. From the first of August, 1914, to the end of 1917 the total expenditures of the state were $8,885,600,000. Calculating on the basis of a monthly average expenditure for the war of $240,000,000, the total cost of the war to Italy would be more than $12,000,000,000. A further proof of the financial effort Italy made for the war, notwithstanding her small means, are the five national loans. The first one yielded about $200,000,000, and it seemed a great struggle, yet still others were launched, all giving greater returns, and the last one, after the disaster of October, 1917, yielded about $1,300,000,000. It must be remembered, too, that large images have meant a food shortage. It has settered and vicious a circle. Our fighters and their workers have accomplished their work while forced to endure a restraint restricted diet that has meant real and continuous suffering such as probably is not to be found anywhere among the other belligerent peoples. APP CAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY AT TURN OF ROAD Beginning of New Year Good Time for Retrospection. Inspiration for All of Us In Realization That Things Which Worried and Saddened Were Only Trifles. making of the new year is a natural turn in the road of time. Here we may wisely rest a wake, and in the presence and quiet and calm of self-communication on the long stretch of the road of a single twelfemonth. It is built imperishably of short steps of living—from moment to moment. Many of the purposes for which we labored and struggled, in our narrow, close, selfish absorption, seem poor, petty and puny when seen from the turn of the road. The structure of some effort we thought marble now is shown in its sickening sham as a hasty affair of show and pretence, made of staff, that could not stand the wear and tear and test of time. It was not built on square lines of character, the test that was in us. It lacked strength, sincerity, simplicity. The material was of policy and selfishness put together in plan. It was a failure; it cannot be but it is worth only a passigret and a realization of the lesson of its nonsusce—at the turn of the road. The look backward from the turn of the road should inspire us by making vivid to us how much of what we feared never came to pass. The tyranny of worry, that dominated us and held us for months trembling slaves to a weak fear, that dissipated our energy, dulled our thinking, and darkened our mental vision, at the very hours that should have given us fullest control of our best, is now seen as an enemy to truce individual growth. It means a harder fight in the unending battle against worry and grief. The broader view of life reveals that the only great things in life are trifles; that what pained us most, saddened our hearts, and turned our hopes to ashes only trifles—cumulating into overwhelming importance. A cruel word, mindkind, a little misunderstanding may darken a day and separate us from love or may petify us into a mood of despair. The most joyous memories of life, the high lights in the pictures of memory, may too be only trifles of kindness, fine expressions of love, simple tributes of confidence and trust that make the very heart smile—as we remember. Nature is constantly giving us new—turns of the road. It may be a birthday or some general anniversary in the cycle of the year. It may be some redletter day in the private calendar of our emotions or some date eloquent to us as telling of some joyous "first" or some pathetic "last" time in the sacred diary of the heart. It may be a supreme sorrow, an agonizing sense of loss, the closing of some epoch in our lives, the bowling of the actuality of something too uneven for us even to have feared, some excellent half-hour that changes irrevocably all our living. These and numberless other days, hours or single moments may bring us alone to—the turn of the road. Then may come one of those rare moments of life, of fine spiritual discernment, of luminous revelation, of coming to one's highest self, when the sordid, the mean, the temporary, the selfish are stripped in an instant of their garish shams and triste. Then the majesty of the eternal stand out in their majesty, the eternal stand out in their majesty, the splendor and glow of the revealing in such a spirit the very tingle of the inspiration of the infinite fills us. We seem born again to new, better and greater things, for we have seen the divine vision—at the turn of the road. EXPEDIENCY. "Have you decided on your New Year resolutions?" "Yes; I'm going to give up all my expensive habits." "For how long?" "Until I get my holiday bills paid and can afford them again." Moral—Don't Be Too Good. It certainly is embarrassing, with New Year's day, coming around year after year, to have no bad habits to swear off. Keep a Few. Reserve a few good resolutions for January thirty-first. You may need them. HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP Famine Conditions Food Shortage approaching Famine Point Serious Food Shortage Sufficient Present Food Supply But future Serious Peoples already receiving American aid Unclassified DECEMBER 1, 1918 RUSSIA BALTIC SEA FINLAND GERMANY POLAND UKRAINE FRANCE GREECE, IONIA BRODISH ISLAND BRODISH ISLAND BLACK SEA CASPIAN SEA SPAIN MEDITERRANEAN SEA TURKEY AFRICA America's food pledge 20 million tons A food map of Europe today shows not a single country in which the future does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only a small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point. With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have sufficient marine commerce have sufficient marine actual needs until next harvest, and even in the Ukraine, with stores accumulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population. Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different relation from the other nations to the people of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small maritime and northern France and is already making efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief. The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and she was established once more in her own AMERICANS FIGHT GERMS IN ITALY AMERICANS FIGHT GERMS IN ITALY Tuberculosis Experts Sent by Red Cross Will Use Latest Methods. Included in the unit of medical and lay workers which the American Red Cross has sent to Italy are a number of the leading anti-tuberculosis workers of the country, sponsored by the National Tuberculosis Association. Dr. William Charles White, who heads the unit, is medical director of the Tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Robert H. Bishop, the assistant director, is secretary of the Anti-Tuberculosis League of Cleveland as well as commissioner of that city. Dr. John H. Land, a former president of the National Association, is another prominent member of the unit. Others are Dr. Robert G. Patterson, secretary of the Ohio Tuberculosis Association; Seymur H. Stone, until recently secretary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tuberculosis League; Dr. Gertrude Sturgs, secretary of the New York City Association of Tuberculosis Clinics, and N. A. Nelson, superintendent of the Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League. These men and women, at the request of the Italian government, will co-operate with that country in applying the latest approved American methods for combating the spread of the disease, and the results will be charged with the establishment of clinics where people of all ages may be examined and treated; others will devote their attention particularly to preventing tuberculosis among children, and a third group will develop health publicity and education. It is to the credit of the anti-tuberculosis campaign in America that it has produced specialists of such international standing that Italy wishes to call them into her service temporarily. But the campaign will be continued unremittingly here at home. Its support during the ensuing year will be derived not as heretofore from the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but by a special appropriation made by the Red Cross to the National Tuberculosis Association. Tuberculosis workers on their side will line up with the Red Cross in its Christmas Roll Call for universal membership. WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING FOR SOLDIERS IN FRANCE Fight in the Ranks of the Red Cross Against Pain, Disease and Death. seat of government the little nation's first thought was to express her gratitude to the Commission for Relief in Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens. Germany, on the other hand, need not figure in such a map for Americans because there is no present indulgence we shall the food needs of Germany. Germany probably needs for her own food problem if she is given access to shipping and is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trouble centers. England, France, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immediate needs, but their future presents serious difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral countries. Norway, Sweden and Denmark have recently been open and who have been able to come to some degree upon foreign supplies. Most of Russia is already in the throes of famine, and 40,000,000 people there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thousands of them inevitably must die. This applies as well to Poland and practically throughout the Baltic re They have known very well the risks they were taking—the two thousand and more women who have gone to France for varied services under the American Red Cross, and the more than nine thousand nurses whom the American Red Cross has assigned to foreign duty under the United States Army and Navy Nurse Corps. They went under orders, as soldiers do; prepared for any emergencies, as soldiers do; they assumed many strange and unforeseen tasks, as soldiers do. Literally, they went as well as against pain, disease and death. A "mobile surgical unit" of nurses—those words don't mean very much, perhaps, the first time we hear them. But see such an unit follow an army up to an advanced post; see how the nurses work with steady hands beside the surgeons as the stretchers with the newly wounded are brought in. See thousands of them in evacuation hospitals, base hospitals, convalescent hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some of them in French military hospitals where sometimes our men are sent; see them with their specialized skill in head surgery, or fracture work, or psychiatry—all these women who need hard and cool and steady, and who have the harvests of wounded. Then we say the words "Our Nurses," as we say "Our Soldiers," "Our Sailors," "Our Marines." On the night of March 25th, when the Germans were fast advancing, and already within six kilometers of Annel, an outpost of Compiègne, two American doctors remained, who under order of the French government, had sent the patients and personnel of their hospital farther back the night before. The artillery was deafening, but the American Ambulance sections kept bringing their wounded to Annel. These doctors said that as long as the American boys brought the wounded they would operate. Two nurses volunteered from Compiègne, and so in the deserted chateau the two surgeons, the two nurses and the ten drivers worked calmly on, while the buzz of aeroplanes shook the air, and the blasting guns shook the glons, with conditions most serious in Finland. Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of the death. The Armenian population is falling each week as hunger takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania and Roumania so serious are the food shortages that famine is near. Almost all the stagnum is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Turkey are in the throes of serious stringencies. In order to fulfill America's pledge in world relief we will have to export every ton of food which can be handled through our ports. This means at the very least a minimum of 20,000,000 tons compared with 6,000,000 tons tional exports and 11,820,000 tons exported last year, when we were bound by the ties of war to the European allies. If we fall to lighten the black spots on the hunger map or if we allow any portions to become darker the very point for which we fought and bled will be taken. Revolt and anarchy inevitably follow famine. Should this happen we will see in other parts of Europe a repetition of the Russian debacle and our fight for world peace will have been in vain. Through three takings of Belgrade, first when the city was taken by the Austrians, again when it was retaken by the Serbians, and still again when it was taken back by the Germans and Austrians together, an American Red Cross nurse, Mary Gladwin, worked in the operating room. In that first capture, when nine thousand wounded crowded the wards and halls and yard of the thousand-bed-hospital and doctor and nurse worked together for day and night without stopping, giving to each operation an average of six minutes, and employing emergencies in the moment, they did not know that the city had been taken until all the stretches brought Austrian wounded, and Austrian doctors came to their relief. Several hundred women are working over there in the American Red Cross canteens. There are about two hundred of these canteens along the French and American lines of communication, and the women are working under great pressure, feeding thousands of soldiers. The Red Cross is also establishing canteens by military request at a number of Aviation Camps. American women conduct these stations, comprising canteen and club and reading room. Everyone of these canteens has something of the genius of the French, because of this, no less than the facilities for cleanliness and rest and refreshment, that the French government has given the responsibility for maintaining canteens for both armies to the hands of the American Red Cross. In large numbers hut women are going abroad as hospital hut workers, also, and as social workers for trained service among the refugees and the repatriated. At each base hospital the Red Cross is equipping, as fast as they can be built, recreation huts for convalescent soldiers. Clerical workers have steadily increased in number for the administrative offices. From that original document, which the first American Red Cross Command France sailed about June 1st, 1917, the organization has grown to a working force of more than 5,000 men and women. J. Q.

A HAPPY NEW YEAR! One of the most notable years, if not the most momentous in the world's history, is drawing to a close; and, before another issue of THE APPEAL is published, the year 1918 will have passed into history. During the present year more new records were established than in any preceding one, and certainly the downfall of autocracies has never been equalled. The greatest feature of the year was the ending of the war, which for four years has brought so much suffering to humanity in all parts of the world. If, however, out of the events of the last four years, world-wide democracy is firmly established and every where, every one will agree, that, "a man's a man for a' that and a' that," our sufferings will not have been in vain. Let us hope that God given wisdom will guide in the closing scenes shortly to be entered upon over seas and that. RIGHT will prevail. Nothing is ever settled, until settled RIGHT. No one can possibly tell what the coming year has in store for us, but, because no one knows, is certainly no reason why we should not again follow the time honored custom and wish all. A HAPPY NEW YEAR! THE PRICE OF LIBERTY In addition to coating eternal vigilance, liberty must be paid for in cold cash. It takes material aid in the "coin of the realm" entailed by a fight for freedom. A group of colored men met in Washington this week for the purpose of electing representatives to go to Paris, be near the peace conference at Versailles and lobby for liberty. Their especial business is to work for the abolition of the color line in all the world. One cent from each colored adult in the United States would form a fund of $60,000 or $70,000, but it is impossible to collect such a fund so the expenses of the envoys must be paid by the few. THE APPEAL wired the Washington meeting that it would pledge the payment of $5.00 each month during the peace conference (five months) COLORED PEACE ENVOYS Eleven Peace Commissioners Elected to Go to Versailles to Protest Against Color Line.

Calls Color Line Greater Menace to Permanent World Peace Than Hun Militarism Just Overthrown. Asks President to Aid the Oppressed of All Nations, Races, Colors, Creeds and Sex in Realizing Liberty, Fraternity and Equality. Saint Paul, Minn., Dec. 2, 1918. To the President, White House, Washington, D. C. Sir: Now that the world war is over and military autocracy has been doomed, I appeal to you as the representative of the United States at the Peace Table, to demand the abolition of that greater menace to the peace of the world, THE AUTOCRACY OF COLOR. Through the centuries the colored races of the globe have been subjected to the most unjust and inhuman treatment by the so-called white peoples. Every atrocity which the Huns have inflicted on the helpless white peoples of the world during the four years of war now ending, has been suffered by the colored peoples of the world for more than four hundred years. In the recent war the colored races have furnished as many men as the white races have supplied, if the labor and fighting units are both counted, and now that victory has been won, it is but just that the color line which has hampered the progress of the coloured peoples, should be abolished at once, only that, but the oppressed of the white race should be delivered from oppression. Mr. President, I shall endeavor to outline a program which should meet the approval of every believer in world democracy: 1. Home rule for Ireland. 2. Home rule for India. 3. Home rule for all colonies which desire it. 4. Self-determination for the people of all countries, in which the people are practically all of one race or nationality and yet dominated and oppressed by a few of a different race or nationality. 5. The former German colonies to become republics under the protection of the League of Nations. These people are as capable of self-government as the people of Russia, Germany, Turkey, or the Balkan States. provided those selected have clean records for manliness and their instructions are correct. THE APPEAL reserves the right to object to any man who is not up to the standard for manliness and backbone. It would be doubly damnable to have men go abroad and misrepresent the aims of the group in this country which stands for the absolute abrogation of the color line. It is not likely that the colored men will be admitted to the conference but their protests, if any are needed, may be made through others and may prove effective. A JIMCROW BISHOP Some reverend colored man was recently made a suffragan bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A suffragan is simply an assistant bishop and he can only assist the presiding bishop of the diocese by doing what he is ordered to do, and in this particular case, only among the particular class of people he is ordered to serve. Thus he is a segregated rubber stamp who must follow the whims and caprices of his master, the white bishop, and he has no vote in the convention. For many years some jimcrow Episcopal ministers have endeavored to have a jimcrow bishop appointed. The intelligent colored people were opposed to it and protested to the General Convention of the Church against the infamy of a color line in the church of God. The plan was thwarted for a while, but when a jimcrow "negro" makes up his mind to do something which will lower himself and his race in the eyes of the public, he can invariably count on the assistance of his white friends (?), who will go the limit to aid him. Finally the jimcrow won and it was decided that jimcrowism was the proper thing. One of the jobs was offered to Rev. James S.

The abrogation of the "White Australia" legislation and the acknowledgment of the right of all peoples to acquire citizenship. 7.

The repeal of all United States laws classing certain Indians as noncitizens, all people of American Indian blood to be immediately recognized as American citizens. 9. The repeal of all laws of the United States, or of any state, in which the words colored, African, Afro-American, Negro, Mulatto, Indian, Japanese or Chinese are used for the purpose to making discriminations against the people of any race, nationality, class or creed, and the immediate abrogation of any color line restrictions enforced without warrant of law. 10. The nations comprising the League of Nations to be forbidden to enact any legislation which in any way discriminates against the people of the Caucasian, Mongolian, African, Indian, and Malay races, or against any nationality, religious creed or sex. 11. The free immigration of the people of any one country to any other country having membership in the League to be neither denied nor abridged on account of race, nationality, class, color, creed, or sex. The adoption of the foregoing rules in the Constitution of the League of Nations would not only mean freedom, equality and democracy for all mankind but would be an actual earthly realization of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.

Some papers are boasting about the matter but it is nothing to be proud of. The heads of the church who have demonstrated that they have no right to be called Christian and the man who accepted the place ought to hang their heads in shame. ETERNAL VIGILANCE The meeting of the Colored Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., this week brings to mind the old adage, "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty." Many people seem to have forgotten this old and trite saying. The colored people who are not only surrounded by enemies who are trying to undo them and filch from them their rights as Americans, should remember that there is a far more sinister and unprincipled foe within. It is the foe within which is more dangerous than the foe without, whose moves are usually open and above board. On the contrary the foe within is a rank coward, a lickspittle and a sneak, and often spreads his poison when no one of the race is near. A large number of the "negroes" as they almost invariably call themselves, who solicit money for segregated schools and other institutions are traitors of the deepest dye. Admitted, grinning, to the private office of some white philanthropist, in order to reach his pocket-book, they bellied the colored people and tell him that the race favors segregation. For every dollar they collect a thousand dollars' worth of harm is done. It is well for colored men and women to meet publicly often and protest against the many wrongs they are forced to endure, and give the lie to the vermin who do so much to injure the race. And while watching the enemy without and protesting against discriminations, keep an eye on the enemy FRANCE MERSELF AND LIBERTY.

DEC. 18, 1918. Colored America, through delegates assembled from 37 of the United States of America, sore and bleeding with persecution because of race and color, hails with hope peace with victory, for the motto on the banners of the armies of the victors was "Away with tyranny and its injustice everywhere." Speaking for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representative Assembly for World-Democracy under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League congratulate their fellow Countrymen and their government on being the instrument by which the God of righteousness turned the tide of battle for the forces of liberty.

Two hemispheres and the islands of two oceans furnished without regard to race or color the armies of this bloody and terrible war. Shameful it would be if its close did not mark a new humane era. To the President of our Republic, Commander-in-Chief of our army and navy it was given to name the principles on which the winners fought this war, and its purpose. By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles and the aim of this war were put upon a world basis. Secondly these principles and aims were for the wiping out of autocracy, inhumanity and injustice, and for the establishment of world justice, world humanity and world democracy. Wrongs To Individual On World Basis For Redress. With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the establishment everywhere of the principles for which this world war was waged by the forces of democracy. Therefore every denial or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASIS BY A WORLD COURT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a traitor, appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. S. A. Citizens by law of the United States of America, the famous Republic of the West, we first appeal to the civilized world for the discontinuance of all race or class discrimination in the world peace settlement. At this supreme moment in the cause of universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, we must call world attention to the utterly undemocratic conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deprives us of the right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restraint of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in many of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial right; the country imposes, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse deprivation, exist anywhere else in Christendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynching are essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought.

PORTO RICANS WANT SELE-RULE PORTO RICAN WANT SELF-RULE. A memorial to President Wilson asking complete self-government for Porto Rico is up in the Porto Rican House of Representatives and is being discussed. It says in part: "Porto Rican soldiers cheerfully and bravely left their homes to fight for democracy. Our culture, our civilization and the pride of our glorious race oblige us to decline to accept as legitimate a government that does not spring from our own will." The great trouble seems to be the color-line which has been forced on the Porto Ricans by the U. S. Government. When Porto Rico was a Spanish colony there was no line based on color. With American domination came the Southern officials who did not fall to bring along their hobby of color discrimination and they have been working over time on it ever since. ISN'T IT AMUSING? The Alabama Methodist Conference at Mobile, Alabama, has called on President Wilson to summon an international conference to investigate the condition of the Jews in the nations of Europe and to take steps to stop age long persecution. Right there at home in Alabama pogroms are in evidence at almost any time. Hundreds of innocent colored men have been tortured, burned at the stake or mob murdered in some other way, but the hypocritical Methodists have not been able to see those atrocities, or having seen them, history does not record that they have ever made protests. Raising their eyes high above the outrages committed by alleged Christians on real Christians in Alabama, the psalm singers have the nerve to look 4,000 miles across the sea and protest against persecutions in other lands.

Declaring Support of Methodist Church Bishop Denies Same.—Neglecting Home Conditions, Race Peace Delegates Reach Out to Africa. (From the Boston Guardian.) The New York World of December 12th carries startling news from a special correspondent in Europe showing that DuBois and Moton have gone to Europe to ask for African state, and that they consider home difficulties small compared with these distant conditions. In the Western hemisphere, says DuBois, "250,000,000 Negroes have indicated intense interest in the plan. They will give every moral, financial, religious, social and educational encouragement to it. "The movement is backed by 750,000 African Methodists and 2,000,000 Baptists. Domestic problems, while of dominant local interest, are actually subordinate to the fundamental justice of the elements of the African race to govern themselves." From Chicago, Ill., under date of December 11th, Bishop Schaffer denies that knowledge of the delegation and says that it does not represent the African Methodist Episcopal Church or any other church in this vicinity. "It may be made up of persons who say they represent us," says the Bishop, "but our organization has never been consulted." THE WAR IS ENDED—BUT— The war is over; peace reigns on earth. But in Europe today there are more than 2,000,000 American soldiers, who took an important part in bringing the war to a victorious end, and these men must be fed and clothed for a long while to come. It is estimated by the War Department that the cost of equipping and maintaining an American soldier in Europe is $423.27 a year. The American army was transported to France at the rate of 250,000 men a month by giving them first call on the shipping facilities of the United States. If they could be brought back WARNING! FIGHTING has ceased, but our war work is not done until peace is permanently established, the war bills have been paid, our army is brought back home and demobilized and industry readjusted to normal conditions. Hungry nations must be fed and shell-torn cities rebuilt, and the United States must lend the money to do it. Buy War Savings Stamps to their homes thus speedily—and it is doubtful that they could—it would require at least eight months. It is obvious, therefore, that we must continue to raise money with which to maintain our army abroad. "We are going to have to finance peace for a while," said Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, "just as we have had to finance war."

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 unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential foe's work at the present to bring about with a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and authors, especially Do Bols and Washington, feel that its repetition, and nausea in need, retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly 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援援它 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," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negro-fly, 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 differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro" and "Migger." 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 university 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, 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 the whites. It was expected and hoped this revolution would keep this country busy for the duration of the war, all big people in the North heard very little. To the everlasting credit of the colored people they refused to be led into the trap, and like the proposed revolution in India and Egypt and some other countries, the plot miserably failed. At last we entered the war. What THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 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 colonels 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." HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS. Some get-rich-quick concerns are endeavoring to persuade patriotic Liberty bond holders, whom they know will not sell outright their Liberty bonds, to turn over their Liberty bonds to these companies as security for a loan and with the money thus purchase stock in their companies. 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. Liberty bonds of unquestioned value. It is a good business and it is patriotism to hold your Liberty bonds. Must Judge A Group by its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston, Mass.) No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the second people we should say that the second people are colored people better than the first, that they know applications among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are obliqued of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously canvassed themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to know whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. Not "Nigger"—Not "Negro." Bishop Wilbur Thirkind, in discussing colored Americans in the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and his reply to Trin S. Cobb, says: "The writer means well, but he does not seem to know what the term 'nigger' that has persisted as a relic of slavery and has in it the sting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro, must go." Yes, and The Bee asserts that not only the word "nigger" must go, but the word "Negro." We are American citizenized same as you, although our skin may be white, the white man manufactured both them and the Government legalizes them and colored Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms a rest. 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 ancestry to Africa, and there is no more right to call them white people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm.

And through all the moving adventures which befall him in the sprightly little show, yesterday's audience followed him with genuine delight, certain that at the end of every incident he would hand them a big rib-stretching laugh. And never once did he disappoint them. The piece concerns the disappearance of the president of a university into which Mr. Whitney and his partner, Mr. Tutt, have insinuated themselves through false representations. The efforts of the pair to fit into their highbrow environment make for laughter aplenty. And when the two accountants are named to seek the best of the job, they surround the globe in his pursuit the thrills come along in bunches. There are scenes in mid-ocean, at the base of the pyramids, in the Arctic regions and in the land of the midnight sun, all depicted with the most gorgeous scenic and lighting effects. And there are brave young chocolate soldiers, all one color in skin and uniform, who get a big hand for their appearance. The funniest funnier than in the scene in which he is examined for admission to the army. And the initiation scene is likewise a delightful bit of buffoonery. There is a chorus of colored cuties who wear all sorts of stunning attire, and a honey-colored beauty who wears her pink satin sports suit, and later a dashing military custome with much of the dash and chic of Anna Held, and acts with charming spirit and grace. One set of costumes which run the gamut from pale violet to orange and then from royal blue to scarlet are the most beautiful seen here this season and make their wearers look like lovely tropic birds of variant plumage. The music is catchy and inspiring, and the show gives a wonderful amount of snappy entertainment for the price asked. TICKET FOR THE BIRTH AND DEATH. "The Smarter Set."
