HOTELS ALWAYS CROWDED Hurrying Officers Everywhere White War Was on—Pershing Lived in Castle—Founded on Place of Strategic Value. Chaumont, France—This little city of the Haute Marne is the home of the general headquarters of the American expeditionary forces. Here lives the commander in chief, and in the buildings of the French garrison are housed the officers of the general staff and all the auxiliary organizations that go with it—the nerve center of the army. A city of normally about 15,000 inhabitants Chaumont lies on the Eastern railway lines, 163 miles east of Paris. It was formerly the capital of Bassigny, and is now the capital of the department of the Haute Marne. Like most of the older cities of France, Chaumont seems to have been founded on a site of strategic value. It crowns a high plateau between the Marne and the Suize, and from the walls and towers of the old city is a wonderful view of the valley of the Marne, the river here being hardly as wide as the Marne can that flows beside it. Between these bordered banks, Northward over the narrow vale of the Suize the view takes in a wide sweep of rolling, forest-crowned hills. Removed From Paris. General headquarters was removed from Puris here in September of last year, Chaumont being selected after a careful search of available locations. It lies in the center of what was the American training area, every camp, as well as the Toul sector, in which the American forces first saw battle, and all the lines from Toul eastward, where we were located, being within reach by motor. The French post occupied as headquarter offices is typical of French headquarters, the army first fenced, forstery fenced, burrenches on three sides of a great quadrant facing a wide avenue. A group of lesser buildings and the customary iron fence and ornamental gates in the remaining boundary. On both gate posts fly the Tricolor and the Stars and Stripes. Sentries pace their posts on every hand, the quadrangle is filled with hurrying officers and orderlies and clerks, hands flash in salute, bugles give their almost hourly calls for the various military events and periods of the day, staff cars and motorcycles roll in and out and now and then the sentry at the gate stiffens even more rigidly and brings his piece up with more snap when a great olive drab car, shining like a yacht in the sea, the scent of witchcraft wished with the white stars signifying the commander in chief. Car Often Unheralded. Frequently the general's car approaches unheralded and so swiftly that the sentry's cry of "Turn out the guard" is too late and the commander in chief is gone before the guard can tumble from the guardhouse. Until last spring, General Pershing made his residence in a large villa near headquarters. He soon found, however, that so near the workshop of the army he could not have the quiet and lack of intrusion necessary to his growing responsibilities, and he moved in May last to a beautiful chateau about five miles from the town. Here, in a great rambling castle, situated in the Marne valley among groves and wide sunlit lawns, he lived with his personal staff. Connected by telephone with every divisional corps and army headquarters, his own offices in Chaumont, and with Paris, he did his work there when not with the army. Chaumont itself has become almost Americanized by the presence of the headquarters. Its little hotels are always crowded with officers. He has been very hospitable to American guests. Nearly every home with a spare room is thrown open as a billlet for officers and many of the finest residences have been taken over entirely by the hundreds of messes. In many of the officers have installed electricity and bathrooms, and in some cases central heating plants, and with French servants, live comfortably, almost luxuriously as measured in military terms. Hundreds less fortunate or lacking in rank take their chances on whatever billet may be found in the crowded town, where a bed is always at a premium. Connecticut Woman Left Specific Directions for Obsequies and Amount to Be Paid. Hartford, Conn.—In her will filed for probate here Catherine Guinan had specific provisions that a certain undertaker should have charge of her funeral and that the casket should not cost more than $100. She stipulated that there should be no more than five carriages in the funeral cortege. She also made specific provisions concerning the embalming of her body and provided in detail for the funeral services. THE APPEAL. FLYERS · DOWN MANY American Airmen Make Great Record in War. 854 German Airplanes and 82 German Balloons Accounted for by Yanks. Washington.—American airmen in France brought down a total of 854 German airplanes and 82 German balloons, against an American loss of 271 planes and 45 balloons, according to a report cabled by Major General Harbord on December 15 and made public today by the war department. Destruction of the 854 of the enemy planes and 57 of the balloons had been officially confirmed. The total casualties of the American air service in action are given as 442, including 109 killed, 103 wounded, 200 missing, 27 prisoners, and three interned. When the armistice ended the fighting, the report said, there were 39 American airplanes at the center. They included 29 pursuit, six day, and one night bombardment squadrons, and five army, 12 corps, and one night observation squadrons. The total personnel was 2,161 officers and 22,351 men at the front, with an additional 4,643 officers and 23,353 men in the service of supply. Eight American flying officers were detailed with the British army and 49 officers and 525 men with the French forces. The total strength of the American air service in France was 58,000, of whom 6,681 were officers. This was exclusive of the air service mechanics' regiment with the French army, numbering 109 officers and 4,744 men. Up to November 16, General Harbord said, a total of 6,472 planes of all types had been received by the American air service in France, including 3,337 pursuit planes for combat work and 90 for schools, 3,421 observation for service and -664 for schools, 421 day bombers with 85 additional for schools, and 31 night reconnaissance machines. There were, in addition, 2,285 training, 30 experimental, and 108 miscellaneous machines.

BONDS PROVE MAN'S LOYALTY Papers and Accounts of Drowned German Show He Had Invested $20,000 in Liberty Bonds. Gray, Me—Hidden in the fireplace in the camp owned by Edwin Coolbaugh of New York, who was drowned while crossing the ice on Little Sebago lake, were bonds valued at $11,000 and $45 in currency. Private papers and accounts showed Coolbaugh had invested $20,000 in Liberty bonds. As a result of Coolbaugh's admission that he was of German descent, federal inquiry has been made concerning him in New York and Milwaukee, but no ground whatever was found for suspicion against the man. An irregularly drawn will leaving the greater part of his estate to his fiance, Miss Helen Morrison of New York was found. LEADS IN SWEET POTATOES Alabama Raises One-Fifth of the Entire Sweet Potato Crop of the United States. Montgomery, Ala.—Alabama will raise 15,658,000 bushels of sweet potatoes this year, a gain of over half a million bushels over last year, when it was reported that 60 per cent of the crop was used for planting, a loss of nearly $9,000,000, says the bureau of crop estimates of Alabama. This year's estimate indicates that Alabama has raised one-fifth of the entire sweet potato crop of the United States and places Alabama in the lead in the production of this vegetable. No Loafing In Elyria, O. Elyria, O.—The "work-or-fight" order in this city is here to stay. There will be no letup in the order, according to Mayor Jones. "If a fellow comes here and wants to work, he is welcome. There is plenty of work for him to do. If he comes here to loaf, there is no room for him in Elyria. Yes, the work-or-fight rule will be enforced, war or no war." Minnesota Historical Society THE A ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY: JANUARY 18. 1919 --- CARE FOR DISABLED Government to Look Out for War Heroes. Arrangements Made to Provide Vocational Training for All Soldiers. Washington—Uncle Sam is going to do more for his disabled soldiers and seamen than any nation ever did, and the arrangements to care for the nearly two hundred thousand men disabled in battle or through disease or accident in camp are near completion. When this army returns there will be no need for public charity which might mar self-respect. The federal board of vocational education, operating under the vocational rehabilitation act, will restore health, and in the case of permanent injury teach trades that may be followed. During the process the pupil's living will be paid, he will receive a wage and in addition his dependents will be paid an allowance. But it is for the decision of the soldier or seaman and his relatives whether he elects to take the course. The course is completed the board will obtain suitable employment and keep an eye on the man so that his interests may be guarded. The status of the man during the period of training is described as follows: "The amount of monthly compensation paid will be equal to the sum to which he is entitled under the war insurance act, or a sum equal to the pay of his last month in the service, which ever is the greater; but in no case will a single man or man living apart from his dependents receive less than $65 per month, inclusive of the sum paid dependents, and a man living with his dependents receive less than $75 per month inclusive of the sum paid to the dependents. "The man whose disability does not prevent him from returning to employment without training will be given the course of vocational training which he chooses. "The taking of the course of training or the actual earning power of the man will not in any way affect his compensation. Upon completion of his course he will continue to receive the compensation prescribed by the war risk insurance and as long as his disability continues." Men in service or their relatives should make inquiries at once. They may address communications to the federal board of vocational education, Washington, D. C., or to any of the 14 district offices located throughout the country. RENT ROOMS BY CARD INDEX Service Intended as Clearing House Between Supply and Demand Cleveland, Q.—A card index system similar in operation to a slot machine has been adopted by the United States home registration service in City Hall here, to bring together persons who wish to rent room or rooms and board, with households which have them available. Holes are punched in cards, in general appearance like a piece from a piano roll, and small rods automatically select cards on which vacant rooms meeting with the requirements of each applicant are recorded. The system, in a few seconds, gives complete information of any of the 3,000 vacant rooms registered with the bureau. The service, which is free, is intended as a clearing house between the supply and demand for rooms, rooms and board and small furnished and unfurnished housekeeping suites. CHORUS GIRLS JUMP SHOWS Ignore Iron-Glad Agreements With Musical Comedies to Marry Soldiers at Camp Funston. Junction City, Kan—Despite iron-clad agreements with their chorus girls, managers of musical comedies playing at Army City, Junction City, Manhattan and on the zone in Camp Funston have hard times keeping their girls from marrying soldiers, leaving the show and settling down here. Hardly a show has been here but what one or two, and often more of the members of the chorus became "war bides." Some of the show and others settled down to wait their husband's being sent abroad. Probate Judge Daniel Hurley has done a land-office business, performing marriage ceremonies. Many of them are at midnight and after. He keeps a full supply of marriage blanks and licenses at his home all the time, so as to meet any emergency. Would Obtain Medal for Young Girl Hero Atlanta, Ga.—A Carnegie hero medal is being asked for thirteen-year-old Gertrude Nasher, who, when her home was burning, rescued the baby daughter of Mrs. Marcella Cruz, who occupied the upper floor of the house.

His Cure of Shell Shock Cases in France Astonishes Physicians. NEVER STUDIED MEDICINE Sergeant Accomplishes Wonderful Results in Treatment of Patients Suffering in Treatment from Nervous Afflictions—Says He Is Not Hypnotist Paris—"Doctor" Van isn't a doctor really—that is, he has never been inside a medical school. He is not a commissioned officer, either. Two days after war was declared in America he enlisted in one of the cities of the middle West and came over as a private. He is a sergeant now. His experiences—driving an ambulance first, and after that in the front line and then in various camps in France when he was sent to a base hospital as a patient—would fill several diaries, if he keeps such things, which I doubt. But there are a great many men in that base hospital who owe their returning health to him after they had been in bed for weeks, and even months. Now, although they admit that he is well again, they will not let him go from the hospital, because a transfer is a long and tedious business. He was in the hospital when he there to help out with the patients. He was out of bed only a day or so himself when he came across two boys in one of the wards who had been in the hospital since April. They had been shell shocked, and in all those months, from April to September, they had grown scarcely any better. "Captain," Sergeant Van said one morning to the doctor in charge of the ward, "do you mind if I see what I can do for those men there? I think I may be able to help them out a bit if you don't mind." The captain looked at him interestedly. If it had been any other man the captain would have been indifferent, perhaps. But Sergeant Van has a way with him. "Oh, go ahead, Van," the captain agreed. "Do anything you blame please." Next morning.on his rounds the captain stopped beside the bed of the first of the two men who had been shell shocked. "How it coming this morning, boys?" he asked. "F-fine, sir," was the answer, a little unsteady given, perhaps, but the captain noteted it. He sat down in the bed and looked at the boy in amazement. Those were the first words he had spoken aloud since the day he came to the hospital, unconscious, five months before. At that moment Sergeant Van move into sight from the diet kitchen. He had a plate of milk toast—a plate the joy in bed followed with an interested gaze. "Beg pardon, sir," Sergeant Van said, saluting, "but I must ask you to wait until my patient has had his breakfast before you talk with him." The astonished captain allowed himself to be waved from the bed to the nearest chair and watched in amazement the boy devour the toast. His hands shook so from shell shock that he could scarcely manage it, but he was propped up and fed himself, with every appearance of keen interest in his food. The day before the boy had not been able to swallow anything but liquid food, and he couldn't have held the spoon. The captain beckoned Sergeant Van to the end of the ward. "Did you do that?" he demanded. "Yes, sir," admitted Sergeant Van. "How in blue blazes?"—began the captain and paused for lack of words. "I'll show you if you like, sir." "I would like," ordered the captain. Astonished the Doctors. Astonished the Doctors. So Van showed him, though the doctor couldn't quite make it out that just woke up and stitched their heads a little and massaged their throats a bit, and all the time he talked to them in the quietest voice in the world. Ten minutes after he began the boys were asleep, naturally, without a tremor in the bodies that had been nerve-wracked for weeks. The doctor looked at Sergeant Van helplessly and left shaking his head. Two weeks later Sergeant Van held a clinic before a major general of the medical corps and several majors and still more captains and leutenants—all men of reputation in America as doctors. Two of his subjects were the men over whom he worked that first morning. They came into the clinic, clear-eyed, and ruddy as an arm from the fist. They passed tests that the doctors couldn't pass themselves. Since then the shell shock cases have been in Van's hands. The doctors shake their heads and wonder. In the camp and the hospital they call him the "hypnotist." "It isn't that I hypnotized them at all," he will tell you. "I just tell them that they are bigger than their nerves, and that they can control them if they really want to. And I show them how. They believe it because I tell them it is so, and then, you see, they are well." But the doctors continue to wonder and say that Van has discovered the first really successful treatment for Is Person Who Encourages Buying of Platinum Jewelry. Government Must Have Metal If War Machine Is to Be-Kept Going. Washington, D. C.—The newest type of slacker and one who is doing his country a great amount of harm, is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum jewelry, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country is 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 refiners, importers and dealers, but this, it is said, will only fill a quarter of the stock temporarily. It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry would demand gold and silver or a white siloy 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, Wash.-Sloux from the Dakotas and Chippewa from Minnesota are worrying the first sergeant of the Twenty-fifth company One Hundred and Sixty-sixth Depot brigade here. The Indians, inducted into the national army, insist on keeping their tribal names and are so entered on the roster. The result is that roll call every morning sounds like this: "Johnny Chase-the-Weasel, Look-as-You-Sit, Sleep-as-This-is-the-Water, Mist-Over-the-Water, Charlie See-the-Elk, Antelope, Middle Rapids and Blue Bird." Women Who Are Taking Men's Places In Industries Are Not Helping Tonsorial Artist. Memphis, Teen—Women taking the place of men in the industrial world may be filling the jobs all right, but they are not helping the barber. Visit any tonsorial establishment and ask them to gleam gleaming blade. He will tell you some of his best customers have gone—gone to fight the Germans. And he will tell you that all the women who took their places are strangers to him. While the barber complains the "beauty doctor" has a different story to tell. She says her patrons are more numerous than ever before, and they are more liberal. They spend money lavishly. A few dollars to re- serve the barber, and a result of business worries is handed over without a murmur. Powder and paint and toilet water are used lavishly. GRAND DUKE WORKS AS CLERK "London Michael" and Countess Endure 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 Toryb, conducts their small home with zest and without grumbling.

"Gobs" Merely Waiting to Be Mustered Out. Tired of Being Sing and Now Want to Marry and Settle Quantico, Va.-American maledicts who have been worrying whether your marines would pop the question when they come home, stand "at ease." A canvass of marine barracks here at Quantico, where 10,000 men have been waiting their chance at the Hum, made by a reporter for Leathernack, the camp paper, shows that 50 per cent of the single men intend marrying when they are charged. How's that for good news? "We're tired of being single. We want to marry and settle down," is the consensus of the replies. These marines, many of whom will be discharged when the president declares the national emergency no longer exists, are fitting themselves for good jobs that will permit them to wed. Even business classes are being held at the Y. M. C. A., and experts are explaining everything from bookkeeping and shorthand to soil cultivation and dairy. The training the men have undergone is probably them for marriage. There isn't a marine in the service who doesn't claim to be able to wash his clothes whiter than any woman can ever get them. Every man can mend and press his own clothes. And as far as being "handy about the house," why, most of them can open a can of tomatoes with a toothpick and drive a nail with a feather duster.

HAS FIVE BAYONET WOUNDS Astonishens Doctors by Rapid Recovery From Injuries Received While Fighting in Ranks of the Has Remarkable Record. Paris.-The most remarkable patient in Base Hospital No. 35 is a Moro Heard-Hunter, who turned up in France six months ago with a company of American soldiers who had just come from the Philippine Islands. His name is recorded as Philipo Moreno, and his home as the Philippine Islands. No one suspected him of having a remarkable record until his story came out one day after a chance meeting with the colonel in charge of the base hospital to which he was taken from the front. And this is how it happened. Red Cross search hearing of a man suffering from five bayonet wounds who had just been brought into Base Hospital No. 35, hurried to his bedside with fruit and an offer to send home any messages he might wish delivered. The man, unusually big and dark, accepted the fruit gratefully, but assured her that he would be well enough himself to write soon to his sister, his only living relative. And he kept his word in spite of the five bayonet wounds which healed so rapidly that all the doctors of the hospital marveled at the remarkable constitution of the dark-skinned man. The patient was soon convalescent, and the first place he visited was the Red Cross recreation hut. Some one was playing the piano, as usual, and during the afternoon one of the members of the sanitary corps sang one of Burley's negro songs, "Deep River." Philip offered to sing the song in the original and astounded his audience with a weird version full of minor notes and harmonies that made shivers run up and down susceptible backs. And thereafter the Filipino insisted on entertaining gatherings in the recreation hut each afternoon with wild songs and curious chants and spies. Some of the men were very spies, and most of the were underworld and denizens, and finally the Moro waxed confidential and began telling tales of the wilds of the Philippine Islands and the days when he had hunted heads. Knows the Colonel. The colonel of the hospital, attracted by the reports of these seances, dropped in one afternoon to listen. "I don't believe he's a Moro at all," he announced. "He's too tall. I served in the Philippines and I never saw but two Moros as tall as that man." Just then the Filipino came up and saluted the colonel. "Excuse, sir," he said in his broken English. "Perhaps you remember me? I know you in the Philippine Islands." "By George, I'll have to take it all back," admitted the colonel. "He's one of the two men I was speaking of. He comes from the head-hunting tribe, all right. He became very much attached to one of our soldiers, who taught him English. But I never expected to meet him in France or wearing the uniform of an American soldier." RENO REPLACED BY ATLANTA Capital of Georgia Now the Greatest Divorce Center in the United States. Atlanta, Ga.—Atlanta has supplemented Reno as the greatest divorce center in the country, the announcement made from the bench in superior court by Judge John T. Pendleton in dismissing the divorce jury. "Reno, a little town out in Nevada, formerly held the record for divorces, Reno Pendleton told his husbands. "But this record has now been wrested from Reno by Atlanta, And Atlanta has no close competition. We will continue to outrank Reno just as long as Georgia divorce laws remain so lax." Soldier Is Kneeling When Shell Ripa Hole In His Steel Hat and Wounds His Head. Unlontown, Pa.—The fact that he was kneeling in prayer saved the life of Private John Quarrick, Jr., of this town, when he was attacked.

The war department has announced that the 370th infantry (the old 8th Illinois) has been assigned for early convoy. In the voting on the "Dry" amendment in the Illinois legislature the deciding vote was cast by Representative A. H. Roberts, a colored man. The Women's Christian Temperance Union has issued an appeal to women who hold jobs formerly filled by men to give them up to returning soldiers. At the recent meeting in Chicago, the Republican National Committee recognized the Walter Cohen faction and seated its candidate, Emil Kuntz, as a member of the committee. The "Firewomen" are still making demonstrations before the White House. Fires are started with oil soaked wood in which are burned speeches of President Wilson on "Freedom and Democracy." The National Colored Congress made the mistake of attempting to send eleven representatives to Paris. The number ought to be cut down to three or five. Five strong men selected on account of their ability and manliness would accomplish more than eleven sent simply because they are "nice" people. Good men and strong are needed. THE REPRESENTATIVES IN FRANCE. There has been some misconception as to the functions of the representatives elected by the National Colored Congress which met in Washington in December, to go to France and present the case of the colored American to the world, during the sessions of the Peace Congress. These people have no official status whatever, and no one connected with the congress has, so far as we know, made any such claim, certainly the convention at its meeting did not. They are not in any sense "delegates" and have no such standing. They can not attend the meetings of 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 the all-American benefit concert in the Hippodrome by Henry C. Quumby 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 boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty and that is loyalty to the American people." the Peace Conference. That ought to be clear to everyone who is at all well informed about the questions of the day. AS THE APPEAL understands the matter, the representatives are to go to France and use their moral influence to aid in the abolition of the color line in all the world. Necessarily they must work through the delegates of the United States and other nations which have regularly accredited delegates. That is all that they can do. The congress understood that and the representatives understand their limitations. 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 tite saying. The colored people who are not only surrounded by enemies who are trying to undo them and flush from them their rights as Americans, should remember that there is a far more sinister However, the representatives may possibly be able to do some very effective work. They may tell the world of the utterly undemocratic treatment of the colored people in the U. S. A., and they may add their voice, even if it is a feeble one, to the general demand of the Colored World for the abolition of all discriminations based on color, creed or sex, and may really aid in the realization of liberty, fraternity and equality for all men. Just what the proposed "League of Nations" will be no man knows—no one knows just how far it will interfere with the internal questions of the various nations, but with Japan, one of the great powers, and China, Haiti, and Liberia, all colored nations, and with Brazil and other countries with large colored populations, and India and South Africa represented, certain broad principles against color autocracy may be laid down. Who knows? The American colored representatives can not hope to get seats at the peace table, or even enter the conference, but they can stay outside and LOBBY FOR LIBERTY. 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 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. 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 ditch 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 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. 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 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 (7), who will go the limit to aid him. Finally the jimcrow wow and it was decided that jimcrowism was the proper thing. One of the jobs was offered to Rev. James S. Rua- who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be arts of friends grow ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL COLORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DEMOCRACY UNDER THE AUSPIICES 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 banner 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 commendate 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.

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 deserves of every civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection. Of the restriction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise, we have many parts of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties,atrovers, worse in degree than exist anywhere else in Christendom.

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. 18N'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. The Southern Caucasian Christian is a queer bird. 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 foe 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 called the ummit. 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.

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 people who live in the South, and many of them 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 race whom their Southern friends have known. In the two sets of people we should know the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not intend to interact; they know friends by directive; they know best of the race which others are obvious of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which they very acquaintance are blinded. If they know the colored race through the means of observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously canny, themselves, they would revise their fraternity so softly so their防备. At last they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the dominant race in the highest abilities, the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best. Should Open the Doors to Opportunity A circular sent out to employees in a large city, calling attention to the number and quality of young colored men trained in the schools of the city, and asking co-operation and counsel in making their services available, brought one reply which though anonymous is significant of an opinion still rarely send them to Africa, instead of using with us". As the expression of an individual desire these two points are of course admissible, but as practicable measures it is curious that any intelligent person should seriously entertain them. Does any one suppose that the population of the United States contains all AR or that if they were sent they would be long as they are here, and have already been mixing for more than a century, and have the rights of citizenship, including the right to die with white men for their country, is it any man menace to respectability and intrinsic to a open a few more industrial doors to abilities and usefulness? While we write, a moving-van is unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the boss, the man who takes his orders. There is not that much about it. There would never have touched it if were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. --- 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.

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. Sr: Now that the world war is over and military autocracy has been doomed, I appeal to you as the representative of Japanese and Chinese and Malays on the United States at the Peace table to demand the abolition of that greater menace to the peace of the laws classing certain Indians as non-WESTERN. THE AUTOACRYL 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 that the Huns have inflicted on the helpless white peoples of the world during the four years of war now ending is 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, it is but just that the colorless people 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. President, I shall endeavor to outline in this 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. Selfdetermination for the people of all countries, in which the people are practically all of one race nationality and yet dominated and oppressed by a few of a different race or nationality. 5. The former German colonies to become republic under the protection of the League of Nations. These people are under the government as the people of Russia, Germany, Turkey, or the Balkan States. WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO." Noted Brooklyn Doctor Saye It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. Sir: I cannot too highly congratulate you on a recent editorial discourse you use of the word *Negro*. There is no need to blame 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 face of the present to bring about both the increase and segregation of the people of color, its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bols and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseum, is necessary to increase the masses. The term "Negro" is not only accurately ascribed to millions of colored people, but it is also alarmingly injurious, for the following reasons: a. it has never stood historically or in the world, for anything noble or unjust. Most high-grade African nations regulate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Semegambians only. c. its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negroes," its compounds, Negrohead, Negrogy, Negrohacky, we 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. 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 refers to him. f. it is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro" and "Nite." THE SIN OF To sin by silence protest makes cov The human race ha test. Had no voice 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.

Menace to Permanent World Arism Just Overthrown. Oppressed of All Nations, and Sex in Realizing city and Equality. 6. The abrogation of the "White Australia" legislation and the ack- nouncement of the right of all people to acquire citizenship. 7. The repeal by the United States of all anti-oral immigration laws and the acknowledgment of the right of Japanese and Chinese and Malays to become citizens. 8. The repeal of all United States law causing 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, Mullato, Indian, Japanese are used for the purpose to make discrimination against 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 laws that discriminate 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, to hold membership in the League to be 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, and democracy for all mankind but also realization of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood 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 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 men, the same as you, although our culture is different. The white man manufactured both the land and the Government legalizes them and colored Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms a rest.

The Astoria Sanitary System, the clothes cleaning, repairing and pressing establishment, $68 Wabash hairstreet, formerly conducted by W. Evans and R. H. Anderson, has made a change in proprietors. W. Evans has retired from the firm and Archie Brown succeeds him. The firm name now is Anderson & Brown. Mr. Brown brings to the firm considerable practical experience and customers may rest assured that wants will be properly cared for. Your patronage solicited. A party composed of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. A. Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. B. Tandy, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Lucas, Mr. and Mrs. G. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. E. Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. B. Tandy, Thompson, and Mr. H. R. Durant, attended the Smarter Set performance Monday evening. After the show the party had a midnight supper at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Lucas, 642 Rondo street. Mr. Henry Bell, porter with N. P., passed away at the home of his cousin, Mr. W. B. Tandy, January 12. Mr. Bell had been running into St. Paul six months but had just discovered that his cousin lived here. He arranged at once to move his next trip and did so on last Sunday. He complained of illness soon after arriving, became unconscious and passed away within the hour. A thought to have been the cause. The remains accompanied by Mr. J. Clark were taken to Hopkinsville, KY, for burial, being met there by his mother and sisters from Indianapolis. Mrs. Felix Raines Surprised. Mrs. Felix Raines, 632 Faunier street, had a birthday anniversary last Sunday. Whether she or her husband remembered that fact "deponent sayeth not," but a number of her friends did, and, headed by Mr. J. J. Johnson, 548 Wabasha street, and Officer and Mrs. H. G. Thompson, of Minneapolis, a surprise party was arranged for her. The members of the party to the number of sixteen met at Mr. Johnson's residence and at about 8:30 o'clock proceeded in a body to Mrs. Raines' residence carrying with them several mysterious packages. Arriving there they entered singing "Auld Lang Syne," and took possession of the cozy home, of which its mistress is deservedly proud. A geezer is surprised to host and loosely but the guests entered into the spirit of the occasion and both proceeded to do their bit toward entertaining their guests. Mr. Raines managed a delightful graphanola concert while Mrs. Raines repaired to her culinary department and it was not long before a table was spread in the dining room, resplendent with snowy linen, silverware and cut glass and laden with "good things to eat," of which "Chicken a la Maryland," and "Ken- "THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN" Some time in the latter part of last year the Houston (Tex.) Observer published the above cut and caption to show the absence of the color line in France. Through the courtesy of The Observer, The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio, also published it, and through the courtesy of Editor Harry C. Smith of The Gazette, THE APREAL has the pleasure of publishing the same, as one of the men in the picture is A. Hugo Williams who for several months was a tucky oysters" were the pieces de resistance. Mrs. Raines is an expert in the culinary art and she furnished a number of delicious specimens of pickles, preserves, canned fruit, jellies, jams, cake and wine, prepared by herself, which confirmed that fact. The surprisers brought with them a freezer of ice cream and all enjoyed the toothsome repast. Everybody was happy and at a late hour the party left wishing Mr. and Mrs. Raines many happy returns of the day. MAJOR JOSE H. SHERWOOD Writes to the "Mail Bag" of the Pioneer Press and Dispatch. To the Editor of the Pioneer Press: "The headlines and comment accompanying the letter signed "A Negro Citizen," published December 31st, is somewhat surprising, coming from an editorial writer of a metropolitan daily. Or is "Ed." the signature of Ed., the office boy? One might easily imagine so; the childlike simplicity and lack of knowledge of events both past and present would be refreshing were it not for the fact that an editor is presumed to be a criterion, and a moulder of public opinion. He would have us believe the civil war was fought for the sole purpose of freeing the Negro, and not that emancipation was a war measure, necessary to the North if its soldiers were to obtain victory. President Lincoln in a letter to Horace Greely, editor of the New York Tribune, August 22nd, 1662, says, in my paramount object is to save the Union and, it is not to save or destroy slavery. If I could save it without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps the Union." If we are to accept your theory, the war was fought to free the Negro, then I must believe with you—the civil war was, indeed "fought in vain." But do we two agree as to what is meant by "free"? Is it your idea that for a white person to be free he must be accorded political equality, economic opportunity, civil rights, justice before the law; equal accommodation for equal money? If so, we are of one mind. We people of color ask no more, will be content with no less. It is this for which he colored Americans four hundred thousand strong) contended in Europe for the stranger, and contended twelve million strong, for everyone in America, even including the "Savage States" of the uncivilized portion thereof. The United States goes to war to make Europe free for all peoples and safe for democracy. We approach the peace table with great protestation for the right of the governed to choose those who should govern, but in America we practice "freedom for whites only and make the country safe for the principles of the Democrats" as expressed by the element in control elected by the state, "States," that openly inform us that the "Negro must be kept in his place, and WE will choose his place." You "had supposed the Negro was as free as any other citizen of the United States!" I invite you to put a little dark coloring on your skin, and you will not need much I can assure you, and try out his freedom. Would you consider yourself 'free' if denied the ballot because of race or color? If denied decent accommodations when traveling, altho paying in full for same? Or a clean bed in which to sleep? No, deceased pree to eat? You will be compelled to wander beyond the shadow of the "Temple of Truth" wherein is housed your paper to find some of these conditions. The American brand of "democracy" as applied to colored people was carried "over there" with our army. The rumor is persistent that the colored troops were brigaded with the French because the white Americans objected to fighting with them. When the American military elements asked for the segregation of the American Negro fighters in France, Marshall Foch replied, "When Gen. Pershing came to France he found a black man at the head of the French Army. France has no prejudice, and persecutes no man on account of color or creed." January "Crisis," page 137. Is it in furtherance of that same brand of democracy, the reason why no fight pictures of Negroes are displayed at 4th and Minnesota other than two hideous caricatures? Jose H.

Cedar 4622 Tri-State 21939 "Smarter Set," which has been present in "Darkest Americans" at the Metropolitan Opera House. The company is headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, who are a whole show in themselves, augmented by thirty others, male and female performers who entertain with song, story, dancing, and clean fun. On the opening night last Sunday they played to the largest Sunday night audience of the season and every performance since has been very largely attended. The stage settings and the costumes worn have not been surpassed by any organization that has appeared here this season. There is a pleasing versatility and "pep" in all the action of the show that one rarely sees, and nothing but words of commendation and deserved praise has been heard. The show has been well received by the people of the Twin Cities. They close with a matinee this afternoon and a performance tonight and those who have not seen them should not miss these opportunities. SALEM TUTT WHITNEY. And the Smarter Set Guests of Gopher Lodge at Social Session. Mr. Salem Tutt Whitney, of Whitney and Tutt's Smarter Set, that was the attraction at the Metropolitan Opera House this week, has been a member of Gopher Lodge 105 I. B. P. O. E. for twelve years, but never the lodge since his initiation. So the coming of his company to St. Paul was taken advantage of by his brothers to give a "Social Session" in his honor at Union Hall last Wednesday night. The privilege of extending an invitation to the members of his company to be present was granted to Mr. Whitney and the entire company accepted, ladies and all. Of course the affair could not be held until after the performance, therefore they did not appear until after eleven o'clock. A special committee had prepared for the occasion and three tables in form of the letter U were set up for more than a hundred diners. The refreshments were served as a collation, the menu consisting of olives, celery, roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potato salad, liver sausage and ham sandwiches, creme cheese and crackers. Hamm's "Blue Ribbon" and soft drinks were the beverages. The menu was the master of Social Session, presided over as coastmaster. Grace was said by P. E. Stewart, and the demolition of the viands was begun and continued until the pangs of hunger were fully and satisfactorily assuaged. It would be impossible to give in detail the speeches that were made, but suffice it to say each and every one found a warm repose in the hearts of all as evidenced by the generous applause that each of them received. It happened that Mr. W, W. Goodwin, of New York, was present. He was one of the founders of Gopher Lodge and in recognition of this fact he was the first called upon to speak. He was followed by Atty. B. S. Smith, G. W. Stewart, Charles Sumner Smith, F. B. Simpson, C. H. Miller, J. T. Quarles, W. R. Morris, Alonzo Leith, Geo. C. Shannon, P. H. South-R. M. Johnson, Geo. W. Holbert, J. H. Murray, and Joseph Sizer. Of course Salem Tutt Whitney made a very pleasant and pleasing response. Mr. C. H. Miller interpolated some of his very pleasing songs, including his great laughing solo. Miss Ethel Gibbs, of the company, sang very delightfully, "I'm Sorry I Made You Cry," accompanied by the wonderful musical director of the company, Charles Roberts. Mrs. Charles Roberts sang Marion Cook's "Mammy," equally as delightfully. Director Roberts gave a grand piano solo that exhibited his rare skill. Booth Marshall sang "Rock-a-Bye Baby," "Dixie Melody," and "Hesitation Blues." The special guest of honor, Mr. Salem Tutt Whitney, expressed himself as feeling more highly honored by the great demonstration by the members of Gopher and Ames lodges to any other occasion in his life. The whole affair was most highly enjoyed. CITATION FOR EXAMINATION OF FINAL ACCOUNT. STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey, Missouri. Account. In the Matter of the Estate of Abbie Jackson, Decedent.
