New Plan of Co-ordination Expected to Bring B biggest Possible Sales With Least Possible Effort and Expense. All the Government's 1919 loan activities in the Ninth District will be directed by the Ninth District War Loan organization. This means that for the first time the sale of War Savings Stamps and Liberty Loan Bonds are a under the same district supervision and that all efforts to dispose of Government securities will be under the same district supervision and that all efforts to dispose of Government securities will be coordinated in a manner that will bring the biggest possible sales with the least possible effort and expense. For some time past officials of the Treasury Department in Washington have realized that the War Savings Stamp Sales Organization needed Na- Gov. Theodore Wold. national direction. It was evident that the campaign for the sale of these smaller securities had been a sort of hit or miss affair, good, bad, or indifferent, depending on the efficiency and enthusiasm of local organizations. Several months ago it was decided to put the sales organization of War Savings Stamps in the hands of L. B. Franklin, national director of four successful Liberty Loan drives. His official title thereupon became Director or of the War Loan Organization and he was given national charge of the placing of the forms of Government securities mentioned above. The Treasury Department delegated to each of the twelve governors of the Federal Reserve banks the responsibility of building and putting in work ordering the necessary machinery for the sale of all Government securities in his district. The method of appointing these forces and of organizing them most efficiently was left to the judgment of each bank governor. Governor Theodore Wold of the Ninth Federal Reserve District has in turn delegated the work of organizing and directing the Government securities sales forces to the Central Committee of the Ninth District of which A. R. Rogers of Minneapolis is the executive head. This is the committee which has been so eminently successful during the last three Liberty Loan drives and has placed the Ninth District in an enviable position of leadership. Mr. Rogers announces that the old Liberty Loan organization, including state, district, county and local chairmen and workers which numbers nearly 40,000 individuals will be kept intact to prepare and carry through the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which will be made some time in April. Distinct from this organization, yet a part of it as far as district direction is concerned will be the old War Savings Stamp state organizations of Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin and Northern Michigan. These state organizations will be as far as possible and will form the nucleus of the Government Savings Stamp Division of the Ninth District War Loan Organization. The personnel of the Ninth District War Loan Organization that will have supervision over the sale of these Government securities during 1919 is as follows: A. R. Rogers, Chairman Central Committee; Homer P. Clark, ViceChairman Central Committee; BenJ. S. Bull, Director of Publicity; Joseph Montana, Director of Speaker's Bureau. Liberty Loan Division: Chas. E. Van Nest, Director of Organization; F. K. Stuart, Director of Investigation. State Chairmen: Norman B. Holter, Helena, Montana; Wesley C. McDowell, N. Nard, N. J. C. Bassett, Aberdeen, S. D. Frank P. Hixon, La Scove, Wisconsin; John W. Black, Houghton, Michigan. Government Savings Stamp Division: H. Heyering, Director of Organization; R. C. Teuscher, Assistant Director of Organization. State Chairmen: H. W. Turner, Montana; George Hollister, Fargo, N. D; Roger L. Densil, Sioux Falls, S. D; J. H. Peulich, Milwaukee, S. D; F. W., Hubbard, Detroit, Michigan. Efficiency and Economy. "We feel very certain that the 1919 sale of Government securities can be effected with much less expense and more efficiently under the new arrangements", said Governor Wold today. Any lack of results in the past has been due to the fact that there has been no central direction and no well organized, continuous plan for the sale of these securities. As we have planned the organization, which will be directed after the first of January by Mr. Rogers, we are certain that results will be obtained with much less effort and without friction which developed in some localities during the past year. "The Treasury Department at Washington is making out a complete and scientific matrix to the campaign to induce thrift and the investment of savings in Government securities. Our district organization will have the benefit of the Government's work and will adapt and put into operation such parts of the plan as meet the conditions in this territory. "We appreciate the enthusiasm and loyal efforts of the men and women who have worked untritely to effect the sale of War Savings Stamps during the past year in the various states of this district. We know that with the experience they have had and the aid of new direction and experience they will be able to accomplish very much more during the coming months. While there is to be another Liberty Loan drive, it will be necessary to put more steam behind the sale of Government Savings Stamps than ever before. The Government expects to realize $2,000,000 from the sale of Savings Stamps during 1919. This is more than twice the amount from the sale of 1918 and individuals everywhere must realize that the buying of stamps is a paramount duty." Northwest Will Not Fall. "The people of the Northwest have never failed to respond to any call in which their loyalty has been involved and they will not fall now when asked to raise their share of the money needed by their Government to finish the biggest job ever undertaken by any people" was the way in which Chairman Rogers expressed his faith in the outcome of the 1919 campaign for the sale of Government securities. Continuing, Mr. Rogers said; "If I did not have entire faith in the loyalty of the people of the Ninth District, I would not have accepted the added responsibility of directing the war loan organization which is a combination of the War Savings and Liberty Loan activities. We have a big task in front of us, but I know we are not big and we know that the men and women who have it deeply and effectively in this district will continue to keep the wonderful record of their communities and their district untarnished. "In a last analysis, the individuals must do the work and finish the job. We in the District Central Organiza- A. R. Rogers, Chairman. tion will endeavor to help the people on the firing line. We will do every thing we possibly can to show them the necessity for loaning money to their Government and to help convert those who do not understand. "The great mass of people have never fully realized the importance and the value to individuals and to good Government of buying Savings Stamps. Owing largely to the fact that the Liberty Loan drives have occupied the center of the stage the smaller securities have seemed somewhat trivial. This has never been the case. It is more important now than ever before and should change our view point. The fact that Government Savings Stamps can be and are purchased by many thousands of people who are not able to buy Liberty Bonds makes this form of security of untold value to the Government. Right now the Government needs large amounts of cash for the payment of debts and the advantageous settling of war contracts. The proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan need to be paid at this large purchase of Savings Stamps will give the Government the money it needs and will do much toward making certain permanent peace and prosperity in this and other countries of the world. "A complete and progressive campaign of education and for the sale of War Savings Stamps now and Liberty Bonds later is being worked out by the Central Committee. Details will be given members of the organization as soon as possible and we know that with the help of the splendid army of the United States, the Ninth District respected during the war, we will continue to lead the forces of freedom." Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY: JANUARY 11, 1919 NEWEST OF SLACKERS Is Person Who Encourages Buying of Platinum Jewelry. Washington, D. C. The newest type of slacker and one who is doing his country a great amount of harm, is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum jewelry, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country is and for many years will be desperately in need of the scarcity and precious platinum in its industrial work and must have it if the war machine is to go full speed ahead. A plan proposed by the federal officials would stop the use of platinum in jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the government who are in close touch with the situation are filled with apprehension as to the future supply of platinum. In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the government in its war program, the war industries board has ordered that 75 per cent of the stock of platinum in the hands of manufacturing jewelers be commanded and also the complete stock held by retailers, importers and dealers, but this is said, will only fill a small gap and importarily. It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry would demand gold and silver or a white alloy and so release platinum for its highest use, but the results have been disappointing. The American Chemical society, an organization composed of the leading 12,000 chemists of the country, which is also back of this movement, has issued an appeal to the people not under any circumstances either during the war or after the war to use platinum jewelry, but to conserve this unique and fast dwindling metal now priced at five times the cost of gold for the exclusive use of the chemical and other necessary industries. SOLDIER INDIAN NAMES WORRY THE SERGEANT Camp Lewis, American Lake, Sloux from the Dakotas and Chippewas from Minnesota are worrying the first sergeant of the Twenty-fifth company One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Depot brigade here. The Indians, inducted into the national army, insist on keeping their tribal names and are so entered upon the roster. The result is that roll call every morning sounds like this: "Johnny Chippewas-the-Weasel, Look-as-You-Sit, Sleep-as-This-is-the-Water, Mist-Over-the-Water, Charlie See-the-Elk, Antelope, Middle Rapids and Blue Bird."

GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK "London Michael" and Countess Endure Reverses Uncomplainingly in London. London.—One of the Russian grand dukes, known as the "London Michael" to distinguish him from the other Grand Duke Michael, has fallen from great wealth to comparative penny as a result of the Russian revolution. Before the war he lived in one of the finest residential estates in the neighborhood of London. When his income from Russia was cut off he subleased this property and is now a clerk at $2,000 a year in an office near Westminster abbey. His wife, the Countess Tory, conducts their small home with sest and without grumbling.

Defective Page AT TURN OF ROAD 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 THE beginning of the new year is a natural, sharp turn in the road of time. Here we may wisely rest a while, and in the peace and quiet and calm of self-communion see the long stretch of the road of a single twelvemonth. It is built imperishably of short steps of living—from moment to moment. Man-made purposes for which we labor and struggled, in our narrow close, selfish absorption, seem poor, petty and puny when seen from 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 pretense, made of staff, that could not stand the wear and tear and test of time. It was not built on square lines of character, of the best that was in us. It lacked strength, sincerity, simplicity. The material was made up of policy and selfishness put together on hurried plans. It was a failure; it cannot be rebuilt; but it is worth only a passing regret and a realization of the lesson of its nonsuccess—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 for months trembling slaves to a weak fear, that dissipated our energy, mindful thinking, and darkened our mental thinking, and the very hours that should have given us the opportunity 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 were only trifles—cumulating in overwhelming importance. A cruel word, an unkindness, a little misunderstanding may darken a day and separate us from one we love or may petrify us into a mood of doubt and despair. The most joyous moments of light in the pictures of memory, may make us 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 coming of a great joy, the closing of some epoch in our lives, the proving of our actuality of something too awful for us even to have feared, some exultant half-hour that we revocably all our living. These and many 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 tinsel. Then the real, the eternal stand out in their majesty, bathed in the splendor and glow of the revealing of truth. 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 habitat." "For now long?" "Until I get my holiday bills paid and can afford them again." Moral—Don't Be Too Good.

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 food supplies have sufficient food supplies to 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 war rations of Belgium and northern France and already making special efforts to care for them after-the-war needs, 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 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 to fighters, 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 are an ambiant and cool and steady, who can handle 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 Complegne, 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 wounded they would operate. Two volunteers from Complegne, and so in the demeaned corps 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 earth. If you have ought that's all to sell, use printer's ink, and use it wow. 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 indication that we shall be called on at all times. Germany probably can care 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, the Netherlands and Portugal, 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—whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon them. 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- 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 min. and employing emergencies inspired moment, they did not know that the city had been taken until all the stretchers 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 a reading room. Everyone of these canteens has something of the genius of home about it; and it is because of this, no less than the facilities for cleanliness 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 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 stendily increased in number for the administrative offices. From that original group of eightmen, who are the first American Red Cross Command France sailed about June 1st, 1917, the organization has grown to a working force of more than 5000 men and women. $2.00 PER YEAR THE MAP RUSSIA TIBETNIA CASPIAN SEA SEA TURKEY JAPAN GAP gions, with conditions' most sertious in Finland. Bohémia, Serbia, Roumania and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of 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. Although starvation is not yet imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Turkey 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 taurus 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 peace for which we fought and bleed Revolt and anarchy inevitably follow famine. So happen we will see in other parts of Europe a repetition of the Russian dooble and our fight for world peace will have been in vain. 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 health commissioner of that city. John H. Lowman of Cleveland, a former president of the National Association, is the prominent member of the unit. Others are Dr. Robert G. Patterson, secretary of the Ohio Tuberculosis Association; Seymour 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 tuberculosis. Some of them 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. THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1919. ROOSEVELT—AMERICAN. Theodore Roosevelt, former president of the United States, universally considered as "the most typical American, is dead and the civilized world bows in homage. So many things have been written, so many tributes have been paid to the greatest man the country has produced since Lincoln that there is little left for the editor of a weekly newspaper to say. There is one point which ought to be especially emphasized and that is Roosevelt's intense, robust Americanism. He had little respect for the man, whether American or foreign, who sought to segregate himself from his fellow citizens. The following paragraphs are from his last public plea for Americanism, which we publish in full in another column and which should be read and taken to heart by every one who claims to be an American: "It is an outrage to discriminate against any man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American. "If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided alliance at all." ETERNAL VIGILANCE. The meeting of the Colored Liberty Congress at Washington, D. C., recently, 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 them. MAN WHO SEGREGATES HIMSELF IS NOT A TRUE AMERICAN----Roosevelt. New York, Jan. 6.—A plea for continuation of the fight for Americanism was Col. Roosevelt's last message to the American people. It was read last night at an all-American benefit concert in the Hippodrome by Henry C. Quimby of the American Defense Society, who voiced the Colonel's regret at his inability to be present in person because of illness. He wrote: "I cannot be with you and so all I can do is to wish you God-speed. There must be no sagging back in the fight for Americanism merely because the war is over. "There are plenty of persons who have already made the assertion that they believe the American people have a short memory and that they intend to revive all the foreign associations which most directly interfere with the complete Americanization of our people. Our principle in this matter should be absolutely simple. "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. "If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided alliance at all." "We have room for but one flag, the American flag; and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans of American nationality and not as dwellers in a polyglot board-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty and that is loyalty to the American people." selves, 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 belittle the colored people and tell him that the race favors segregation. For every dollar they collect a thousand dollars" worth of harm is done. to see those atrocities, or having them, history does not record they have ever made protests. Raising their eyes high above outrages committed by alleged Christians on real Christians in Alab the psalm singers have the nerve look 4,000 miles across the sea protest against persecutions in lands 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 within and denounce his nefarious work. Remember, "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty." 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 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 and woman it was decided that jimcrowism was the proper thing. One of the jobs was offered to Rev. James S. Russell of Virginia, but he declined to be a segregated bishop. 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. 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 THE MAN WHO DARES 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. 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. The Southern Caucasian Christian is a queer bird. EXTINCTION OF THE HYPHEN. A suggestion has been made in the Mail Bag which the Dispatch and Pioneer Press wish to extend to its limit and then unqualifiedly approve. It applies to the absolute abolishment of the hyphen, in its racial sense, henceforward and forever. If the war has done anything, it has made us all Americans, 100 per cent test. It has left the hyphen extinct. Hereafter there is, in our Americanism, no room for dilution or limitation. The new order of things includes all possible combinations of hyphenism and is not limited to the nationalities over which we have scored a victory in the name of liberty. It takes in friend and too alike. A man can be no more an Anglo-American or a Franco-American than a German-American. In our patriotic lexicon there is no hyphen. When a man is born an American or becomes one of his free will through the process of law he is at the end and the summit. We amplify this suggestion by our Mail Bag friends and give it our cordial indorsement. The foregoing excerpt from the St. Paul Pioneer-Press has our hearty approval and we beg to add that the Afro ought to be taken out of the Afro-American and the Negro out of the Negro-American. The war for democracy has been fought and won, let us all now be just—AMERICANS. QUEER WORLD THIS. After more than a hundred years of dismemberment, during which time the Poles have been subjected to oppression in its varied forms by Germany, Austria and Russia, the people are to be reunited as a free Polish nation and their independence has been recognized by the allies. After all they have suffered for more than a century is it not strange to note that they celebrated their new found freedom with a great pogrom or massacre of the Jews when they captured Lemberg. The Associated Press correspondent sent the following in reference to the brutal massacre: "I immediately upon entering the city the Poles proceeded to sack and burn the Ghetto district, whose victims numbered several thousand. The streets were filled with the charred bodies of murdered Jews, many of whom, in the frenzy of despair, had leaped from the burning buildings, which were surrounded by Polish troops."

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL COLORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DEMOCRACY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE AT WASHINGTON, D. C. 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.

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.

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 society. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deprives us of civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the destruction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial right; we obloughe, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse deeds, exist anywhere else in Christendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynching are essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought.

DUBOIS BETRAYS CAUSE OF COLORED AMERICAN MEMORIAL FOR BLACKS SLIPPED TO COLONEL HOUSE. Declaring Support of Methodist Church Bishop Denies Same—Neglecting Home Conditions, Race Peace Delegates Reach Out to Africa. 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 Du Bois, "25,000,000 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 any knowledge of the delegation and says that he is certain it does not represent the African Methodist Episcopal Church or any other church in this vicinity.

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 ATTORPMENT OF CIVILIZATION 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 colored peoples, should be abolished at once. Not 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. WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO." Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." 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 realise that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because speakers and writers, especially Doe Brothers, Washington feel that its repetition, and Washington is necessary to retain the good will of the term "Negro" is not only abusively as accurate 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 resent 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," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negro-fy, Negro-monkey, are all fairly in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweet heart, 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 was unworthy he invariably says "colored." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes co The human race ha test.

Menace to Permanent World Warism Just Overthrown. Oppressed of All Nations, and Sex in Realizing unity and Equality. 6. The abrogation of the "White Australia" legislation and the ac- knowledgment of the right of all peo- plies to acquire citizenship. 7. The repeal by the United States of all anti-oriental immigration laws and the acknowledgment of the right of Japanese and Chinese and Malays to become citizens. 8. the repeal of all United States laws classing certain Indians as non-citizens, 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 make 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 relic of the Fatherhood of God and the Fatherhood of Man.

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 eting 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 citizens, the one as you although our skin may be dark. The white man manufactured both terms 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 disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him.

"WHITNEY & TUTT'S SMARTER SET." To Appear at the Metropolitan Opera House for One Week Beginning Tomorrow Night. Musical comedies, good, bad and indifferent, come and go, and leave but a passing memory of their purpose behind. Occasionally, however, the advent of one is announced which has stood the test of criticism of the press and public wherever it has appeared. This one is the new musical comedy entitled "Darkest Americans," and is this season's vehicle of "The Smarter Set," America's best colored organization, and is headed by the well known comedians Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, and will be the attraction at the Metropolitan all next week with matinee Wednesday and Saturday, and unless all signs fall, will receive substantial welcome and this city will be added to its long list of its triumphs. The story of the play tells of Dean Kelly Miller of the Howard University of Washington, D. C., going on a tour of archeological research in the interest of his college. Abe and Gabe Washington enter Howard under false pretenses. Dean Miller is lost. Abe and Gabe are commissioned to search for the missing Dean. This search takes them to all parts of the globe, and they are participants in many exciting and ludicrous adventures. The Dean is found, and all return home and everything ends happily. Aside from "The Smarter Set" boasting of a general well balanced cast of singing principals who are well known in musical comedy, they are fortified with an unusual chorus who have the ability for singing and dancing, who are not only worth hearing being at in the melodies for which they have famous or in the jazz which they have popularized. Mr. Whitney, one of the co-founders of "The Smarter Set", is a member of Gopher Lodge and has been for the past 12 years, but this is the first opportunity he has had to visit his Lodge since becoming a member, and a loyal welcome should await him.
