PROTECTIONALMOSTPERFECT How the Gothas Were Kept Away From London Forms Tense Chapter in British Mastery Over German Air Raiders. London.—London's aerial aprons, or how the Gothas were kept away, might form one tense chapter in a book about how the British baffled the Hun air raiders. The last six months of the war there was not a single air raid on London, on due, in part, to the fact that the city's defenses were such that they filled enemy flyers with terror. Any aviator that escaped the death traps—and the chances were about one in three he would not—generally was of little value thereafter for flying, because his nerves were shattered. A British aviator who by accident was caught in the aerial barrage, be charged to land safely near London, tossed on a bed, verging on insanity for weeks, so horrible was the experience. Roughly, there were three chief weapons for denying with Hun air raiders; the aerial barrage, alided by searchlights; fast, fighting scout planes that attacked the invaders, and aerial aprons. The Germans, it may be noted, were never able to perfect any scheme to prevent British aviators from bombing Rhine towns even in the daytime. Aerial Aprons Queer Things The aerial aprons were queer things. The aerial aprons one or rope portieres. Upon signal, captive balloons were sent aloft from the outskirts of the city, the balloons being in pairs. They buoyed up a curtain of dangling ropes, a half-mile or so long. These aerial aprons served two purposes: First, they forced the raiders to fly high, and when they flew high they could not drop bombs effectively; second, any machine darting into the ropes courted destruction. When flying high they were met by the British fighting scouts. These aerial aprons were shifted daily as to height so enemy airmen could not be forewarned. London always had the protection of four score airplanes during the last year of war. These machines could mount to 20,000 feet. The aviators were picked night flyers. At such heights it is difficult to see another airplane at 100 yards. But at a given signal these birdmen took to a plane, shouted commands to London. These brave follows often chased a hostile machine into the barrage and a few British birdmen were killed by their own shells. But whether it was a Zeppelin or a Gotha that was bent on baby killing the British scouts would swoop at their foes like hawks. The barrage was almost like drumfire. There were two outer barrages and one inner. Scores of guns, many of them six-inch rifles, were employed in this work. They generally worked in batteries of four, each unit of the battery, perhaps, being a mile or two from the other units. The four guns would endeavor to get a hostile plane in the center of their box fire, and then gradually close in to fire the so-called resuscitate the "arial box" gradually being narrowed. The entire process depended largely upon listening devices which could detect the approach of a humming airplane miles away. Efficient Defense System. The defense system was so efficient that 75 per cent of the raiding machines were kept out of the air. And these machines got most of the barrages and great difficulty in escaping. To the terror of bursting shrapnel was added the confusion of Verey lights, some red, some blue, others green, white, yellow and orange, and these flashing lights, intermingled with the terrific din of the exploding shell, so confused aviators that they lost all sense of direction and space and many of their machines got out of control, becoming an easy prey. In such cases British birdmen would approach, firing on the enemy machine, anti-aircraft guns would halt, and the hostile plane would be brought down by a burst from the British plane. But often there were fierce duels, marked by spitfire from the machine guns of the contending飞艇. The course which the raiders took was traced out, minute by minute, by the "stethoscope" operators, and directions given to searchlight crews, anti-aircraft gunners and flashed to airdromes by aerial defense headquarters, which conducted the battle much in the same way as a general in the field. Scarcely a Gotha got through the outer London barrage unscathed. The faint hearts who couldn't penetrate the barrage often turned back, only to find they outnumbered four to one by faster British machines. Cow Has Quadruplets. Adele, Ga.—A cow belonging to Albert Wood, near here, has just landed a sledge-hammer blow at the high cost of beef by giving birth to four well-developed calves, which give every sign of arriving at the beef-seak period in a year or so. ANOTHER WAR HERO C. HARRIS & EWING Col. Oscar J. Charles, one of the best known young officers in the army, was wounded September 29 by a shell fragment which drove his water canteen into his leg below the knee. He refused medical attention, removed the canteen himself, had it reftiled, and served wounded men near him with water from it and kept command of his regiment until the battle was over. Colonel Charles was at one time subdued at West Point, served through a long war with distinction, was in the Moro campaign, and was one of the first officers to transfer to line service in the recent conflict. He commanded the Three Hundred and Sixteenth infantry in the Seventy-ninth division. British Government Is Looking Forward to Weekly Mail Service to India. London—Some of the wonders achieved in aerial navigation and other wonders contemplated were spoken of by Maj. Gen. Sir F. H. Sykes, chief of the air staff, in an address before the chamber of commerce. It was asserted by General Sykes that in four months, between July and October, 20 trips were made across the English channel. The mileage traversed was 8,085 and 1,843 passengers were carried, although flying was possible only on 71 days. As for the future, the government was looking forward to a weekly mail service to India, for which 25 machines would be required and the charge for sending mail a few shillings an ounce. Another route contemplated was from Cape Colony to Delhi, for which airplanes and flying would be suggested. That airships might be adopted for long distance flights, General Sykes said a German Zeppelin flew from Bulgaria to German East Africa, carrying twelve tons of ammunition. When the Zeppelin reached Africa and the commander heard that the force for which it was taking the ammunition had surrendered the dirigible made the return journey, reaching home safely after having been in the air without landing for four days. SOME KICK TO THIS MIXTURE Hospital Patients Adulterate Alcohol With Formaldehyde, Then Proceed to Wreck Hospital. San Francisco—As real "fire water," nothing exceeds alcohol adulterated with formaldehyde. This was demonstrated here by Grace Wilson and George Clark, two vagrants under treatment at the isolation hospital. The two awoke several days age with an awful thirst, and no other beverage, except water, being available at the moment, they proceeded when the nurse was not looking to imbibe freely of alcohol, a bottle of which stood nearby. Then they decided to stand with the alcohol with formaldehyde. The effect was very similar to that of casting a match into a barrel of gasoline. Before the explosions were entirely over, the furniture in the room was nearly all wrecked, while two policemen, who had been sent to quiet them, had been locked up in a closet. The two women were then locked in a cell and charged with disturbing the peace. Veteran of Civil War Finally Gets Pension Pottsville, Pa.—Thomas J. Rose, a Civil war veteran, has finally been given a pension after a clerical error in Washington kept it from him for 50 years. The back pension will amount to several thousands of dollars. She accustomed tried to get Rose's strained out, but this was not accomplished until the present war led to the discovery of additional records. Minnesota Historical Society THE APPEAL. CHAUMONT LIVELY AS ARMY CENTER Little City, Picked for Pershing's Headquarters, Is Now Americanized. HOTELS ALWAYS CROWDED Hurrying Officers Everywhere While 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 canal that flows beside it between poplar-bordered banks. Northward over the marne vale of the Suize the view takes in a wide sweep of rolling, forest-crowned hills. Removed From Paris. General headquarters was removed from Paris 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 garrisons. Three four, long story-red roofed barracks form three sides of a great quadrangle 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 hurry 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 slides in, the scarlet tab on the windshield with four 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 sprit, 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 Chaundom, and with Paris, he did his work there when not with the army. Chaundom itself has become almost Americanized by the presence of the headquarters. Its little hotels are always crowded with officers. It has been very hospitable to the American occupation. Nearly every home with spire has thrown open a bille for officers and bathrooms. Most residences have been taken over entirely by the hundreds of messes. In many of them 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. FUNERAL PLANS IN WILL Connecticut Woman Left Specific Directions for Obsequies and Amount to Be Paid. Hartford, Conn.—In her will filed for probate here Catherine Guinn 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. EAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY Bird Saves Boy's Life on French Battlefield Manchester, N. H.—How a bird on a battlefield of France indirectly saved the life of Private Edward Lassonde of the United States heavy artillery was told by the young man in a letter to his father. Lassonde said that he was riding on a caisson loaded with ammunition when a bird began to circle about his head. It flew so close that its wings almost brushed Lassonde's cap. Finally the young soldier sprang from his seat and ran after the bird. Just then a German shell struck the caisson and it went up with a mighty explosion. The Manchester boy's chase of the bird saved him from injury or death. ACTIVE TO THE LAST Marines Fight on Until Armistice Is Declared. Devil Dogs End Their Glorious Campaign by Capture of the Meuse. Washington.—That marines were active in the world war up to the moment that the armistice went into effect is evidenced in a division order signed by Major General John A. Lejeune, U.S. marine corps, commanding the Second division in France, a copy of which has just been received in Washington. According to the order the Devil Dogs' last act in the universal drama was a final and definite conquest of the Meuse river, where line after line of marines crossed on bridges hastily thrown across the stream by the Second engineers. The Fifth and Sixth regiments of marines, which received their baptism of fire at Chateau-Thierry, headed the Second American division under General Lejeune. On November 10 they had reached the Meuse, where the Germans had thrown up strong intrenchments on the east bank. Bridging the river was a hazardous feat, but it was accomplished by the American engineers under heavy artillery. Crossing the stream on bridges but two of which was a still more hazardous business, but apparently the marines consider nothing too hazardous to at least attempt. With the enemy's artillery and machine guns pouring an incessant fire upon these slender straws of passage, the marines advanced. Time after time an enliste of fire swept rows of them into the swirling Meuse—but they advanced. The crossing finally effected, they pressed on and undaunted courage and stormed the Krus' stronghold on the east bank. The Guns fired before the impetus of that furious charge and the marines again found themselves victors in their last great battle of the war. FINDS DIAMOND IN TURKEY Bird's Unusual Voice Is Accounted for When Policeman Kills Him for Yuletide Feast. Philadelphia.—The proverbial goose that laid the golden egg is a back number to the turkey Policeman John Burke tendered his family at Yuletide. The priceless bird was described recently by Burke to his fellow coppers at the Thirty-ninth and Lancaster avenue police station. “This year I decided I must have a turkey,” said Burke. “I priced one and when told it was 49 cents a pound I threw up my hands in holy horror.” “But this is an unusual bird,’ urged the dealer. “So I bought it. Now it so happened that this bird also possessed an unusual voice, a chirp of which it must have been proud. It was a voice I later found was nurtured on a special diet. I killed that bird with an ax to make the holiday feast, and then alas I found my mistake. Under its voice box my wife found a pure, unset blue diamond. The bird had an appetite for precious stones. If it only had been allowed to grow to maturity what a treasure box it would have been.” WEAK IN AIR AT THE START Great Britain Had but Four Squad rons of Airplanes, but Made Rapid Strides. -London.—The declaration of war by Great Britain at midnight, August 5, 1914, found the Royal Flying corps with only four squadrons in being, representing well under 100 airplanes. Three of these squadrons went instantly to France. A new squadron followed these pioneers in about ten days' time, while a fifth squadron mobilized and set out in 24 hours, reaching the fighting zone about the middle of September. In those early days of the war machines were used simply for strategic reconnaissance. It was not until after the end of the war that the lines of warfare were established that artillery fire control from the air and the cruder forms of co-operation with the infantry were practiced and developed. BIG GUNS BROKE GERMANS'HEART Capture of Great Fortress of Laon Due to Yank Navy Cannon. Only Five of the Monster Guns Were in Action, but Enemy "Heard Thirty"—Would Have Blasted Frontier to Pieces. New York—That the capture of the great fortress of Laon was due to American naval guns mounted on flat cars and manned by naval gunners and that the navy men would have blasted the German frontier to pieces if the war had continued, was the assertion of naval gunners and that they had recently on the transport Henderson. The appearance of the big naval guns of the 14-inch type on the west front was one of the most unpleasant surprises the Germans got throughout the whole war, they declared. There were only five of them in action, but they were handled with such rapidity that the bewildered Teutons believed there were 30 of them in France. Mangin Gives U. S. Credit. General Mangin, the famous French commander in that sector, himself credits Rear Admiral Plunkett and his naval gunners with the taking of Laon. The big 14-inch guns pounded the fortress to pieces and hurried giant shells on railroad communication with the city. When the guns got into action, the gunners time-lapse minutes a speed which the German's sipped impossible in handling such monsters. It was this which gave rise to the belief of the Germans that there were 30 instead of five of the guns in action. There were six more of the giant cannon on the way to France when the fighting ended. They were of the same bore, but were far more mobile, as the five in action could only be used from a pit when they had to be fired at an angle of more than 15 degrees. Once the war hadn't quit we would have shown those Germans something about handling big guns," sighed John Mason of 1034 Mason avenue, Chicago, "but we showed them plenty as it was." Three of the five guns, the naval gunners said, were in the American sector in the Argonne and the other two were with the French. One was at Solosson. They had a range slightly in excess of 35 miles. Each shell fired weighed 1,400 pounds and it took 470 pounds of T. N. T. to send it on its path of destruction back of the German lines. When the shell hit and exited the cannon, the gunners were in which a large-sized American railway box car could be comfortably interred. Amazed the Poilu On the American sector the three big guns were mounted within 200 yards of one another and were always fired in rapid succession. The concussion was terrific. The gunners told a story of a French soldier who happened to be standing too near the giant cannon when they were fired. When the first one was fired the concussion hurled him violently to the earth. He staggered to his feet just as the second one let go, and down he went again. Up he climbed again, only to be dashed to the ground for the third time as the third gun roared. He got up, pale but excited, crying in French what in American would mean: "This will end the war. This will finish the Germans." The last shell fired by the navy men left the American lines at exactly 10:28 o'clock on the morning of November 11. It was so timed that it would explode back of the German lines at exactly 11 o'clock, or on the second that the armistice went into effect. GOOD PRICE FOR CRADLE The Family Relic Brings $100 for the Red Cross Fund in Kansas. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—It is not every man who has the satisfaction of seeing the old-fashioned cradle in which he was bulled to sleep more than forty years ago sell at an auction sale for the Red Cross for $100 cash by way of finishing up its days of usefulness. This, however, was the experience of E. G. and A. T. Crocker of this county, extensive cattle men and large land owners, the latter state senator of this district. At the public auction of A. T. Fent, a Matfield farmer, the much-used and old-fashioned cradle, which had done service for the Crocker brothers, was offered for sale. It was bid in many times and was finally sold and retained by N. Gosler, cashier of the Matfield Green State bank, after it had brought in receipts totaling $100. Eats Twelve Pounds of Pickles. Eat Here Pounds of Pieces Springfield, III—Martin McKeen, a coal miner, may well be termed the champion pickle eater of the world. On a wager he devoured 25 of the appetizers in one sitting and won 55. They were of the large-sized variety and in all weite, 12½ pounds. © Western Newspaper Union A photograph of General Edwards, commanding the Northeastern department, plining the congressional medal of honor on Lt. Col. Charles Whittsey for bravery in the battle of Argonne forest, where Colonel Whittsey and his command were surrounded by the Germans and held out for five days without food or ammunition, refusing to surrender to the Huns, until they had lost 75 per cent of their men, when they were rescued by American troops who cut through the German lines. Authorities Say That Contraband Traffic Is Carried Across Rio Grande. Laredo, Tex—It is the firm conviction of Mexican customs officials on the lower Rio Grande border that systematic smuggling by means of powerful airplanes is being conducted between that country and the United States. The American authorities on this side of the international boundary are not yet convinced that contraband goods are being carried in this manner from one country to the other, although they freely admit that it is possible if not very probable that this is being done. It evasion of the export and import duties by this means is not already being carried on it is only a question of time when the airplane will be brought into service for that purpose, it is predicted by custom officials here and at other places on the Mexican border. It is with considerable circumstantial detail that the story is told of the aerial traffic by professional smugglers. Jose Longoria, a Mexican river guard stationed at San Ignacio, about sixty miles below Laredo, made a report to his superior officer about three weeks ago that while on duty late at night he saw moving lights pass high above him and heard the whirr of a motor. The object was headed north and came from some point to the south in Mexico. Similar reports were made by other Mexicans who asserted that they saw the strange aerial machine go back and forward across the Rio Grande on several different nights. Up to this time no corroboration of the stories told by the Mexicans have come from American river guards. It is recommended by the custom authorities of both Mexico and the United States who are on duty along the Rio Grande that airplane control service be established on both sides of the river at the earliest possible time. SOME BARGAIN, THIS COW Returns Purchase Price Every 18 Days to Lucky Kansas Farmer Who Bought Her. Great Bend, Kan.—Charley Donner, a prominent farmer here, bought a little red cow three years ago for $35. Now every 18 days the little red cow produces enough milk to pay her origi- nial purchase price, according to Mr. Donner. Mr. Donner has kept an accurate account of the milk produced by the cow. For the last 14 months she has produced milk to the value of $747.80. Kills Two—Given V. C. Seattle.—Private Walter L. Rayfield of this city, who enlisted with a Canadian regiment soon after war broke out, today is wearing a Victoria Cross. He obtained this coveted award by rushing ahead of his company into a trench occupied by Germans. He bayonetted two and captured ten. Soon after he plunged into a group of 30 Germans and captured them all. Then he dashed through heavy machine-gun fire and rescued a wounded comrade.

MINE NORTH SEA ENTRANCE It was America's Solution of Submarine Progression and Was So Effective It Rendered HU-Boats Almost Impotent. Fort Monroe, Va.-Lying at anchor in Hampton roads off Old Point Confort is the United States navigator squadron whose commanders and crews performed what is now termed by naval authorities the world over as the "greatest naval offensive of the war." The feat which men achieved was the mining of the entrance to the North sea from Scotland to the coast of Norway, a distance of 240 miles. It was an undertaking unprecedented in naval history. It was America's solution of the German submarine problem, a solution so thorough and effective that it rendered the German submarines almost impotent. The British previously had mined the English channel, but the enemy submarines came out from the bases at Ostend and Zeebrugge and into the North sea, there to work their haevc. Invite Yankee Aid. The British naval authorities, realizing late in 1917 that the North sea would have to be blocked,-invited the American naval authorities to attempt to huy the barrier. The American navy, having just at that time completed with success experiments on mining apparatus for more dangerous, delicate, and powerful than any here-toerefore used, took up the task. For that purpose the mining cruiser squadron was organized in December, 1917. This squadron is made up of ten vessels and is under the command of Capt. R. R. Belknap, U. S. N. One of the officers told a graphic but brief story of the desperately dangerous job to which he and his squadron mates were assigned. "Navy men now call it the greatest offensive of the war," he said. "It solved the submarine problem and it might have been the agency for the destruction of the German navy sooner or later had not the war ended when it did. We mined almost directly across from Bergen on the coast of Norway to the coast of Scotland. The length of the mine field was 240 miles, and we made it 25 miles wide. It was so complete that no ship could pass either over or under it without absolute destruction. "We have a record of about twenty submarines that we know were destroyed, and often in running parallel with the field we came upon the bodies of dead German sailors, so probably many more than we actually figured on were destroyed. "Our men, in fact the entire fleet, faced a constant danger of being blown off the face of the seas, for we carried on the ships 2,000,000 pounds of T. N. T., which is the most powerful explosive known. Exposed to Germans. "Despite all this, we kept at the task, and at the end of about five months had completed it. We stayed constantly on the inside of the field, that is, on the side nearest Germany. We left only a narrow passageway near Pentland Fight between the Orkney islands and Scotland for our own passage out. "Our most dangerous task strangely was not the laying of the mines, as dangerous as that was. The most dangerous one came after the mine field had been completed. It was an attempt to draw the German fleet out into the North sea where we were to engage it, so that the British fleet could get in behind the enemy to destroy it by gunfire or drive it into the mine field. "On October 28 last the British government made it known to the German naval authorities through its agents in Germany that we were engaged in mining operations. We were ordered to lay about as though busy at the task, to act as a decoy for the German fleet. We did it, but in doing it we faced positive destruction ourselves. "We want to hand it to those new navy lads. There were about 4,500 of them and 250 officers on the ships, and while we waited through that fearful day which we never expected for a moment to see the end of alive, they went about their duties, laughed, sang, and stood to their guns as only American lads can do such things. "Well, all that day we worked along calmly, watching and waiting for the sight of the Germans that meant certain death." "The Germans never came out after us, and so here I am."

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 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. 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 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 boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty and that is loyalty to the American people." 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. 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 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 flick 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 "greyes" 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 bellithe 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." ISN'T IT AMUSING? The Alabama Methodist Conference at Mobile, Alabama, has called on President Wilson to summon an international conference to investigate the condition of the Jews in the nations of Europe and to take steps to stop age long persecution. Right there at home in Alabama pogroms are in evidence at almost any time. Hundreds of innocent colored men have been tortured, burned at the stake or mob murdered in some other way, but the hypocritical Methodists have not been able to see those atrocities, or having seen them, history does not record that they have ever made protests. Raising their eyes high above the outrages committed by alleged Christians on real Christians in Alabama, the psalm singers have the nerve to lock 4,000 miles across the sea and protest against persecutions in other lands. The Southern Caucasian Christian is a queer bird. The suffragists of the city, and of the whole state, have been very active in the matter of petitioning the state Legislature to take action in the way of presenting a memorial to Congress asking for the immediate passage of the Susan B. Anthony Federal Amendment. The suffragists of Minnesota are convinced that they will be unable to secure the passage of the amendment in the state of Minnesota—to the shame of Minnesota who stands for most things progressive be this said, under the requirements which an amendment to the Constitution of this state must meet, and so have very wisely directed their efforts toward bringing to bear concerted pressure upon the members of the Legislature to have them send to Washington a memorial appealing to the sense of justice and fair play, as well as the appreciation which every true citizen of the Republic must feel for the valuable service rendered by women in the home trenches, without which the war could not have been won, to give to the women of the United States without further parley the ballot which is already in the hands, in some form, of 11,000,000 women citizens, being those who are fortunate enough to reside in the fifteen states which have already granted full or partial suffrage to this class of citizens. Let every man and women in the city and state join with the suffragists in petitioning our Legislature to prepare this memorial to Congress. Minnesota must not fail the women at this time. OLD EIGHTH ILLINOIS Chicago's Crack Colored Unit Back With Honors General Mangin Decorates Heroes 370th Infantry Who Whipped Prussian Guard Chicago, Ill., Jan. 22—More than 400 Illinois men, many of them wounded, were among 5,150 soldiers to arrive Thursday on the hospital ship Comfort and the transports Lapland, Wilhelmina and Sierra. Five officers of the old Eighth Illiniated Army, three men of our crack regiment debarked from the Lapland. Two of them from the Wilhelmina. The soldiers arriving on the three other ships were sent to Camps Mills and Merritt, and the wounded were divided among three of the big debarkation hospitals. Out in the Campagne sector of France—one of the most blood-stained corners of that land—our Illinois fighters gained imperishable fame. For more than two months the Eighth—now the 370th Infantry fighting in the Tenth French army, commanded by Gen. Mangin side, figuring the Americans would take shelter there. Instead the Yanks kept right in the center of the road and few were wounded. The ruse had revealed the whereabouts of the German guns and a short time later they were wiped. After going through the severest fighting unscatched Leut. Robert A. Ward, 3728 South Wabash av., returned sick. The Eighth landed in France April 22, Ward held, and went into a fighting area almost immediately. For months the regiment had to go through all the hardship of trench warfare. The casualties were estimated by Ward at 50 per cent, but only a very small percentage were killed. Shot in Ankle. Leut. J. R. Wheeler, 3013 Prairie av., was wounded in the ankle by shrapnel. Lieut. Harvey J. Taylor, 3761 South Wabash av.Chicago, winner of the Crox de Guerre and two stars of special citations, was the first Eagle Award recipient and ship. His body had been riddled by machine gun bullets and shrapnel. Whipped Crack Prussians. The men of the old Eighth stopped the advance of the flower of the Kaiser's fighting forces and made them retreat, preventing a flanking movement which would have had dire results for the allies. "We just went in to took em 'ok', said Lieut. Elmer D. Maxwell, 5325 S. Seward, the telling of a raid into which he leaped of the Eighth August 1 near Laon, and which resulted in the killing of a dozen Germans, the capture of four machine guns and eighteen prisoners. Only one of Maxwell's men was wounded. For this dashing exploit the Chicago man received the Croix de Guise. A stunt performed by twenty men of Company F, led by Capt. Saunders, won decorations for three and the unbound admiration of the French, Maxwell said. Sergt. Floyd White, 1121, Federal st. Chicago, one of the participants. He received the prize in France and was wounded one. Lieut. Maxwell's story showed that the Company F men offered themselves as sacrifices in an effort to draw the fire of about a dozen German machine guns which had been used among the Americans and French. A Human Sacrifice. The Illinois colored fighters ran into middle of a road knowing they were under German observation. Instantly the Germans, suspecting a raid on their lines, opened fire on the underbrush by the road.

By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles and the aim of this war were put upon a world of humanity, these principles and aims were for the wiping out of autocracy, inhumanity and world democracy. Wrongs To Individual On World Basis For Redress. With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the establishment every day 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. A hundred American soldiers 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 as civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise the interior parts of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities worse in degree than exist anywhere else in Christendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynching are essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought.

That the tremendous material and appalling human losses of this world war may not be without result for good, we appeal to the peace conclave to grant self-determination and rights without discrimination to all of the darker nations. The Appeal Sent By Race Pettitioner For Universal Abolition Of Color Prosecution. On our part we shall send race pettitioners to the assembly of the representatives of the civilized world meeting to make good the promise of the victors in the world war, to petition for the abolition of autocracy of race against persons everywhere, and to appeal to this world Court for the discontinuance of color proscription and all distinctions based on color, civic, political and judicial IN EVERY NATION AS AN ARTICLE OF THE PEACE AGREEMENT, that the word may be remade truly on the basis of the liberation of the people of the earth, and of the enjoyment by every human being of world democracy. Else There Is No "New Day." For without this there will not be the dawning of a new day of democracy, nor of a new era of permanent peace after the most terrible and gigantic war ever known embracing two hemispheres in a death grapple between the forces of autocracy and of democracy.

Should Open the Doors to Opportunity from the Christian Register. A circular sent out to employers 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 anomous is significant of an opinion still rarely heard, and easily send them to Africa, instead of asking 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 United States could be sent to Africa if they were sent they would go? So 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 chance of renunciation to respectability and intrinsic honor to few more industrial doors to their powers 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 white men take his orders. There is no chance to be involved. There would never be trouble if it were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. ENTRY AND THE WORLD LORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DECES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL INGTON, D. C.

Buy War Savings Stamps END AUTOCRACY OF COLOR Asks Editor of THE APPEAL in an Appeal Wired to President Wilson on the Eve of His Departure for Peace Table. 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 Japanese and Chinese and Malays of the United States at the Peace to demand the abolition of that greater menace to the peace of the laws clasped certain Indians as non-world. THE AUTOCHA 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. 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. The white peoples of the world 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, 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. The white people 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 nation, 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 Rumania, Turkey, or the Balkan States. NO COLOR LINE Mr. Ashe, Lay Reader of St. Philip's P. E. Church, Denies Statement in a Recent Article in THE APPEAL The Suffragan Bishop is a Segregated Bishop and Gives Some Information About the Matter. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 21, 1919 EDITOR THE APPEAL: I wish I were able to state in a few words the full meaning of each and every office in the Christian which lead up to the term of Bishop and are not only mis-understood but not applied. I have in mind at this writing the word "Suffragan" as applied to a Bishop, and it is not so much to correct an erroneous interpretation to enlighten an editor who attends an editorial upon a subject of which he seems to possess little or no ecclesiastical knowledge. THE APPEAL has recently published and perhaps is still running in its columns an editorial referring to B. Reverend Edward Thomas Denby the Episcopal Bishop in the Episcopal Church in the acting in the capacity of Suffragan Bishop to the Diocese of Arkansas. From the editor's viewpoint the word "suffragan" means "segregated," and the word segregated means, to him, "drawing the color necessary to grasp the grasp the full extent of its ridicule in a vaport. Without further commenting the article and for the sake of the editor and the few APPEAL readers who may look to that periodical for their expert information I desire to state the following facts: There are three, and only three, different orders of ordination in the Episcopal Church. They are Bishops, Priests and Deacons. All of whom are equally empowered in their several distinctions. There are sub-titles used to distinguish them while engaged in certain work of the Church. For example, a Priest in charge of a Parish is called a Rector; when in charge he is an administrative secession he is called an administrative in charge of a Chapel he is called a Carer; while in charge of a Mission he is known as Priest-in-charge, etc. He is at all times, however, a Priest and his special duties neither takes from nor adds to his authority as a Priest. He is at the Order of Bishops. A Missionary Bishops and a Missionary district and may be working in conjunction with one or more Bishops and, as Bishop, he is equal in authority to all other Bishops. A Diocese is a portion of a state, an entire state or, as the case may be, a diocese. The states presided over by a Bishop. In the work the work is too great for one Bishop or his health prevents full activity, in either of which cases he has one or more assistants or associates. Suffragan Bishop, therefore, is a Bishop, who diocesan head and except in some cases duties they are consecrated and empowered, as Bishops, alike. A Bishop assistant who is placed with the right of succession is called Not "Nigger"—Not "Negro." (From the "Washington Bee.) Bishop Wilbur Thirkield, in discuss colored Americans in the South western Christian Advocate, and in his reply with Dr. S. Cobb, says: "The writer means well, but he describes that has persisted as the term 'nigger' that has persisted as the term 'slave' and has in it the eting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro meet go. Yes. And the Thee asserts that not only the word "nigger" must go, but the word "Negro." We are American citizens, the same as you, although our skin may be dark. The white man manufactured both terms and colored American legalizes them and the Government licenses them and empowered, as Bishops, alike. A Bishop assistant who is placed with the right of succession is called REAL in an Appeal Wired to on the Eve of His or Peace Table. Menace to Permanent World Warism Just Overthrown. The Oppressed of All Nations, is 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- ples 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 d 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, Indiano, Japanese make discriminations in the purpose of making discrimination to 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 to be forbidden to enact any law that 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 nation having membership in the League is denied or unbridled 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 also the earthly realization of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Trusting Mr. President, that you will as the representative of our great republic, advocate the principles I have enumerated. I am. a Bishop Coadjuster, whereas a Suffragan Bishop must be elected to succeed as head of a Diocese. A case of recent date is that of our present Bishop of Minnesota the Rt. Reverend Frank McMinnan the D. D. who, during the later part of Bishop David Edsall's life was Suffragan Bishop or Bishop assistant to the Diocese Head. He was, upon the death of Bishop Edsall, elected Bishop of Minnesota. No. The Captain of a Company may be called to take charge of a Battalion in which still a Commissioned Captain and except for his temporary executive duties he is no more nor less a Commissioned Officer than the other Capitol that or any other Battalion Company. A Suffragan Bishop is, therefore, no more a "segregated" Bishop than is a Captain a segregated officer who is not in charge of the whole battalion. Nor is a Bishop (as the term is meant by the editor) because he is placed in charge of a white cap or because he is termed a missionary Bishop and given special work to do. To say that the Episcopal Church draws the color line is to utter a malicious untruth. The mission of the Church is the spiritual uplift of the race and methods designed to bring about change are adopted in various ways by different Diocesan Heads. And, while actions in dealing with conditions here or there may seem biased to the onlooker who has neither made a condition nor may be interested in the condition in no case is prejudice a lever authorized or sanctioned by the Church. This is not meant as a reply in full to the article in question but merely a light of assistance to those who desire to know the truth and whose may have been unduly poisoned by the editor from the pen of a misinformed editor, probably has never made a serious study of any denomination in connection with any Church. Lest both the spiritually blind editor and his unwary subscribers or readers "fall into the pit." IRA S. ASHE, Lay Reader, St. Philip's P. E. Church, St. Paul, Minn. 235 Rondo Street. Not "Nigger"—Not "Negro." (From the Washington Bee.) Bishop Wilbur Thirkle, in discussing colored Americans in the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and in his reply to Irvin S. Cobb says: "The writer means well, but he does not seem to know what the term 'nigger' that has persisted as a relic of slavery and has in it the 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 same as you, although our skin may be dark. The writer manufactured both terms and the Government legalizes them and colored Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms a rest. Very truly yours. JOHN Q.

The reception and ball that the Gopher Club gave in honor of The Smarter Set at Union Hall, Friday evening, Jan. 17th, was no exception to the rule and the hall was jam packed, and a more pleasant affair has never been given in that hall. The members of the Smarter Set, who were at present, were loud in praise of the show. The success of the affair was due largely to the efficient work of the committee of arrangements: J. A. Mitchell, R. S. Harris, J. Q. Adams, A. J. Todd and G. D. Green. Excellent music was furnished by the Home Guard Orchestra.

"Some men are born great; others achieve greatness, still others have greatness thrust upon them." It was in this last classification we found ourselves; labeled and catalogued, Wednesday evening, January 15th. Gopher and Ames lodges, Elks', thrust so much greatness upon us that we became inflated, distended and altogether so puffed up that we had to grasp the rugs of our chair to avoid the risk of puncturing the ceiling with our abnormal cranium. We never knew before that we possessed so many virtues; that we embodied all the essentials and requisites of true greatness; that we were a composite of Socrates, Plato, Demosthenes, Shakespeare, Douglass, and Washington. Did I say we never knew, we should have taken it, we never knew our folks knew it, we have always had a well developed idea that we were "sum pumpkins," but were not so certain that others had been given the inside information, until we heard our selfextol by the learned men of Gopher and Ames lodges of the Twin Cities. Say! we were never so highly honored in our honorable life before. Every worthwhile profession is represented in the two lodges and every exemplification of erudition was in evidence upon this occasion. We were lauded in fascinating outbursts of eloquence that would have made Patrick Henry and Dan Webster hoist the emerald flag, fold up their tents and quietly steal away. We left that banquet hall, fully convinced that at last the universe was awakened to a proper estimate of our true worth and that we were destined to set the world afire and lead its benighted inhabitants into the brilliant glory of a new day. Then the accident happened. With the plaudits of that august assembly still ringing in our ears, with the flavor of the delightful things said still sweet upon our palate, the wife punctured the bubble of our conceit: "Did you mail that letter I gave you?" "No I forgot—" "Did you put that bar of soap in your overcoat pocket?" "Did you change your underwear before leaving the theater?" "No dear, I for—" (Disgustedly.) "What would become of such men as you if it were not for us women? Why, they would have to put a bell about your necks and to put up your backs to keep you from breaking in the churchhouse." Silence and complete subjugation upon the part of the conquering hero. It has been said that: "No man is a hero, to his valet." And we say that every man is a hunk of cheese to his wife. (Selah.) AFTERMATH Anent the Recent Death of Mrs Mary Harris Dillingham. Mr. John H. Dillingham, returned last week from his sad errand to Lexington, Ky., where he deposited in the bosom of Mother Earth the mortal remains of his beloved wife, Mary Harris Dillingham, who died in this city on Sunday, January 5th, after a long, patient illness. Except for the sad occasion of the trip, it was, otherwise quite gratifying. He had to stop one day in Chicago, where he was the guest of a cousin of his wife, Mrs. Albert Yancey, at her beautiful home, 3842 Vincennes avenue, where he met a number of the relatives of his wife. who had gathered there to view the remains and who expressed much sorrow for the loss of the dear departed and much sympathy for him in his irreparable loss. Just as he was about to resume his sad journey, Miss Toller, a daughter of Mrs. Dillingham's, quietly slipped into the parlor and, accompanying herself on the piano sang, most beautifully: "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again." Mrs. Yancey, who had come to St. Paul for the funeral, and who accompanied Mr. Dillingham and the remains to Chicago, now accompanied them to Lexington, Ky., rendering invaluable aid and services. At Lexington, Mr. William Holmes, a wealthy bachelor friend threwpep on the street at 24 Gresham nut street, for the use of Mr. Dillingham, Mrs. Yancey, two sisters of the deceased, Mrs. Laura Lyvers, Rochester, N. Y., and Miss Martha Harris, Covington, Ky., and the funeral services were held there, conducted by Rev. J. Jones, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. Church. A large number of the floral tributes in St. Paul were taken with the remains to Lexington and there so many more were added that the grave was completely hidden from sight by them. The services were very impressive and just before the close Mrs. Elizabeth Belle Jackson, widow of the late J. C. Jackson, read the following glowing tribute; We are gathered here, my friends, to pay honor and tribute to Mary Harris Dillingham. It was my pleasure to be associated with her in her early childhood as pupil and teacher. I always found her pleasant and cheerful, her sunny disposition was a great comfort to me while in the school room and from this early association sprung a devoted friendship which has lasted for more than forty years; but it has pleased our heavenly father to remove her from our midst, yet her far-reaching influence for good will linger for many years to come. It is with the deepest feelings of regret and sorrow that I record my heartfelt sympathy. Mary Harris Dillingham has passed into the light that is beyond the valley of the shadow of death. She has entered a haven of rest where sorrow, pain and death are not known. The "whys" in our life of suffering we have never been able to see nor understand, but when the mists have cleared away we shall understand in the clear sunlight of that immortal day the lessons designed by Providence.

And let us remember, too, that we have a promise that sometime, some- one we shall all meet again and another we shall promise that we "shall see our blessed Master face to face." One by one we are passing away. Soon we, too, shall stand before the judgment bar; therefore, it behoves us to so live that when we are called away we may hear the Master say "well done." It gives me much pleasure to record my high estimate of her Christian character, loving and human services to her church and to human life; to her love is finished; she has laid her hand down; she has entered the Palace of her King. To the bereaved husband, sisters and other relatives my heart goes out to you in truest sympathy and commend you to the loving care of our heavenly father who has said "Lo, I am with you always." He alone can comfort you in this, your deepest affliction, may He temper it to the good of your soul, may you and all of us so live that when we caused from the activities of this life, we were to be lined in lingham and all of our loved ones and spend eternity with them in that "City not made with hands, but eternally in the heavens." On the day of his departure from Lexington, he, he, Mrs. Yancey, Mrs. Lyvens and Mrs. Harris were tendered an old fashioned Kentucky breakfast consisting of the toothsome viands for which that portion of the "Blue Grass Region" is deservedly famous, by Mrs. Jackson at her spacious home, 314 Short street. On arriving at Chicago he was again the recipient of the hospitality of Mrs. Yancey for a couple of days and on the eve of his departure for home, Mr. Moses Duncan, a nephew of Mrs. Dillingham, gave a delightful dinner in his honor where covers were laid for eight. Card of Thanks. The undersigned hereby tenders his sincere and grateful thanks to the friends of the Twin Cities, Chicago, Ill., Lexington and Covington, Ky., and Cincinnati, Ohio, for the many kind messages, floral tributes and other evidences of esteem bestowed during the illness and the death of his beloved wife, Mary Harris Dillingham.

Editor of THE APPEAL: Dear Sir: This goes to you partly as information and partly as a request. You will, I am sure, be gratified to learn that Miss Hallie Q. Brown has been appointed by the President of the N. A. C. W., Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, as one to represent the colored women at the Peace Conference. This appointment is particularly agreeable to the women of the country, holding in remembrance, as they do, her splendid achievements in the past whenever sent to Europe on special missions. Her experiences of this kind include several visits to Great Britain in the interest of Christian and Educational work. So successful was she in making friends of the best women in England that once visited her residence in London, sent as a speaker by Lady Henry Somerset to the Grindelwald Conference in Switzerland. She appeared before Queen Victoria in 1899 at which time she was representing the colored women of the United States at the International Congress of Women held in London. With her latest European success all are familiar—in bringing to her Alma Mater $15,000 for the erection of THE FLOUR Pillsbury's BEST XXXX Minneapolis, Minn.
