The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. SOCIETIES PLAN WILL PREVAIL War Savings Bodies to Be Organized in Ninth District Week of Feb. 17 to 24. THREEDIFFERENTTYPES Model Organizations for Schools Rural Communities and Business Establishments Outlined to Teach Thrift. Minneapolis, Minn. The week of February 17 to 24 will be Savings Society week in the Ninth Federal Reserve District. This time was today fixed by A. R. Rogers, chairman of the Ninth District War Loan Organization, as the period in which every community in the Ninth Federal Reserve District will organize the War Savings Societies which are to be the nucleus of the 1919 campaign for Thrift, Americanization and War Savings Stamp buying. Centering on the society plan by which scores in each society and millions throughout the district will have a common point of contact through weekly or semi-month meetings, the District War Loan Organization on the basis and on the behalf of every man, woman and child in the district. A direct appeal will be made for the purchase of W. S. S. with the money saved. Three Types. Three definite types of War Savings societies have been worked out at headquarters by John H. Meyering director of the W. S. S. division, Dr Geo. N. Bauer, head of the department of mathematics at the University of Minnesota, who is on leave to devote himself to War Savings Organization, and the other workers under Mr. Rogers. They are: 1. A type type for schools. 2. A model type for schools organized in rural communities. 3. A model type for industrial or commercial establishments. On the last mentioned plan War Savings Societies will be formed in stores, factories, mills and in railroad and other offices, wherever in fact there is an establishment employing ten or more persons. The school societies, many of which are already running successfully, will be greatly increased in number and revived and hundreds of new societies will be added to those which already are flourishing in so many rural communities. Actually, there is hardly any limit to the number or nature of groups which can organize War Savings Societies. In giving the models such names as "school," "community," or "industrial" the directors mean merely to indicate the general nature of the plan. Any group will be urged to organize. Every group will be urged to organize. Farmers' clubs, commercial clubs, fraternal groups, woman's clubs, clubs of boys and girls, mutual co-operative associations of all sorts, every gathering, the purchase, the thrift, Americanization and the purchase of Government securities can be placed before a number of persons, will be utilized. Americanization work is to be closely linked with the War Savings Societies, especially in communities where a considerable proportion of the population is not yet fully alive to the American spirit and the benefits derived from living in the United States. It is the opinion of the cen-sum committee that ownership of WS will be a distraction to Americanization. It will increase the individual in his Government when he knows he owns a part of the nation's public debt. Speed Up Organization. County chairmen of War Savings Stamp sales have been advised by Mr. Meyering to get in touch immediately with all workers in their territories and to make preparations for forming the societies during the week of February 17. There also will be meetings of county chairmen at various points in each state of the Ninth District, at which the information of them will be made available for the others. At each of these meetings a worker from headquarters in Minneapolis will attend with information and advice. A Speakers' Bureau is being worked up which will be able to supply speakers to the societies, either at the time of organization or at subsequent meetings. "Working on the fundamental idea of the value of Thrift, we intend also to convince every person in the district that the purchase of War Savings Stamps will make savings do a better, bigger and more valuable work. We are also in money." Mr. Meyering said today. "At the same time, of course, the money we invested in stamps will be perfectly safe and will yield an interest return between 4 per cent. and 5 per cent each year." Save And Invest. For more than four years the world has been spending. Now the world must either start saving to make up the loss and waste or it must fall back into stagnation and shak to a standard of comfort and happiness distinctly from that of 1914. But it is not necessary for the American people to fall back if they are thrifty and save. We have the best option. tunity to save or any of the world's nations. We have food, clothing and money—all the good things in life. But we must make the basis of this prosperity secure. Saving makes the future prosperity of the individual safe. At the same time it supplies money to the Government with which it will structure can be so strengthened that we will not have to lose or forego our general prosperity. "With these appeals there is also the fact that America must loan money to other nations if those nations are to continue to buy goods in the United States and by so doing give steady employment to our industrial and agricultural workers. During the war our production is supplying the world, our production is supplemented tremendously. We must hold for the farmers markets if we are to keep up that production rate. We must hold foreign markets or undergo such a slackening in manufacture and agriculture that every individual will suffer. "Much of the money loaned through investment in War Savings Stamps will go to meet the overwhelming war expense which remains to be paid. Of the rest will go to foreign nations to credit with which they can buy of us and 'keep the home wheels turning.'" A. Permanent Force The War Savings societies formed this year will probably become an increasingly important factor in financing the United States when the period for Liberty Loans has passed. According to Mr. Rogers, the Treasury Department plans to make the societies permanent so far as possible and to keep War Savings Stamps on sale as a means whereby every individual can save with security at the same time that he is adding to the Government's coffers. Not the least advantage of such a plan will be a material reduction of taxes in many years in so far as the total of many unions defends the heavy national expense we must carry as a result of the war. WAR WON, BUT NOT ENDED Gronna Says Readjustment Days Need Aid of Every Citizen. Statement by United States Senator Aile J. Gronna, of North Dakota: "The war has been won, but has not ended. The days of readjustment will demand the cooperation and intelligent aid of every loyal American citizen. Money must be raised to defray war bills which will worry the guardians of the nation's financial destiny for time to come. "Patriotic constructive aid can be rendered the government now by even the smallest war effort, and in such a manner as to make his patriotic fort of a boomerang of good fortune. The government is urging American citizens to continue the purchase of War Savings and Thrift Stamps and other Government securities, to help raise money to defray expenses which at present are even heavier than on our financial stability must be maintained, our credit must remain unimpaired. "I heartily approve of the Government's plan to spread the gospel of thrift in every home throughout the land. The purchase of War Savings Thrift Stamps is a practical manifestation of Benjamin Franklin which is likeness upon the new issue is indeed significant and homage should be paid to him by every citizen by investing in Government the foundation for the national spirit of thrift which I believe the war has inculcated in many who formerly did not know the meaning of the word." SUPPORT OF OUR SOLDIERS People Should Buy Liberty Bonds and W. S. S., Says Clark. Statement by Speaker Chame Clark of Missouri: "It goes without saying that there must and will be another big Bond issue. Having put our hands to the plow we must not look back. We cannot afford to. Because while the world war is really over, it is not technically ended until President Wilson issues a proclamation to that effect. We still have a huge army overseas and while it should be brought home as soon as ships can bring our soldiers back, until they get back, they must be fed and clothes would be everlasting shame not to do that. So people should subscribe for the impending loan and purchase War Savings Stamps as readily and liberally as they subscribed for past loans. It's for the support of our soldiers and nothing is too good for them." "CHAMP CLARK." 5¢ What's a Nickel worth?

FEBRUARY 15. 1919 HUNS FEAR NEGROES Offer Reward for Each Colored Soldier Captured. Now Attract Great Attention in Occupied Sections of Germany. With the American Army of Occupation—Wherever American negroes have appeared in the area occupied by the Americans they have attracted great attention among the civilians. In Treves, Coblenz and other places, during the early days of the occupation, crowds assembled wherever any negro soldiers stopped in the streets, and it was necessary for the military police to enforce the orders prohibiting gatherings in the public thoroughfares. Even yet in Coblenz and Treves, where there are a number of negro soldiers, the negroes attract crowds of German children every time they appear in the streets. The German soldier also regards the negro with great curiosity. According to a discharged German soldier in慈迁堡, the German army, early in the war, provided a reward of 400 marks for the lives of each negro. The discharged German soldier said that throughout the war German soldiers lived in great fear, and over terror, of the negroes, and it was in order to overcome this fear that rewards were offered. One evening on the front a scouting party, consisting of ten Germans, including the discharged soldier, encountered two French negroes. In a fight which followed one of the negroes escaped, the other being taken prisoner, in the fight two of the Germans left their comrades and ran to the protection of their own trenches, but these, it was explained, were young soldiers and untrained. The reward of 400 marks subsequently was divided among the remaining six Germans for capturing the French negro. FORM CLOTHES TO BE VOGUE Plump Gentlemen May Need "Stay* to Get Away With Newest In Masculine Agment. Atlantic City, N. J.-Form clothes will be the vogue during the present year. So decree the National Association of Merchant Tailors, which is discussing styles in annual convention here. All delegates emphasize the form fitting trend of the time. Some of them went so far as to suggest that mature gentlemen of a plump, if not corpulent, tendency will need "stays" to get away with the newest things in masculine adornment. According to the terms of the trade masculine styles for the ensuing 12 months are to be sprightly without conspicuousness; dashing without verging on extremes; youthful in temperament and inspirational. In place the inevitable summer flannels of the inertible summer flannels of the recreational raiment, fashioned of silk, fine linen and other delicate fabrics. Even the prosaic sack suit of business is to have a "swing" imparted to it by a high waistline and a long vent back. But it is in sporty togery that the styles are going to go the limit. Coats will be strapped and tabbed and plated. Riding coats are to have firing skirts, a back vent running to the high waistline, diagonal jetted pockets, and upon both sides with an additional outside pocket, neatly flapped, to carry change. HE DOESN'T LIKE GERMANS South Dakota Farmer Objects to Neighbors, Sells His Place and Will Move Away. Sloux Falls, S. D.—Refusing to live longer in Lincoln township, Douglas county, because it is populated almost exclusively with persons of German birth or descent, William McMahon, a farmer of the township, announces that he has sold his farm in "Germany," as he terms the township, and will locate where the English language is spoken. McMahon has felt lonely since the election in November. When the vote was counted in Lincoln township it was found that he had cast the only Republican vote and that all other electors in the township had voted the Nonpartisan league ticket, which is alleged to have been backed by every German and pro-German. Dog Attacks Airplane. Tulsa, Okla. —A bulldog seized the propeller of one of a fleet of five airplanes from Fort Still just as they were leaving. The machine was wrecked and the plane was delayed until they trip back to the fort until a new blade had been installed. Tractor and Sled Solve Blocked Line Problem Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—When the recent heavy snow fall blocked the electric line between this city and Strong City, Frank Hoel, living here, quickly solved the transportation problem. He attached his big tractor to a big sleigh, 18 feet long, and carried passengers between the two towns. From eighteen to thirty-five people were accommodated on each trip. WINS FAME AND WAR DECORATION WINS FAME AND WAR DECORATION Anzae Colonel Wounded and Ordered Home Enlists and Fights Again. IS RECOGNIZED IN FRANCE General Sends for Him and Glves Him Commission — Decorated With Order of St. Michael London.—The story of a colone of Australian infantry who was wounded in the Gallipoll campaign and sent back to Australia, but who concealed his rank and re-enlisted as a private to serve with the Australians in France, has added to the esteem in which Australians are held in London. Col. Charles Melville Mac Naghten, the hero of the story, is halled as a man of gallantry and grit. He was the son of Sir Melville Mac Naghten, chief of the criminal investigation department of Scotland yard, says the Dally Mall, and was practicing law in Australia when the war began. He was the major in command of the First brigade which landed at Anzac Cove on Gallipoll peninsula. Within two days he was wounded three times. After recovery in England he returned to Gallipoll and led his battalion in their immortal charge at Lone Pine. Ordered Back to Australia. After the evacuation of Gallipoll he served for a time in Egypt and was sent from there to England, suffering from wounds and fever. Surgeons refused him permission to return to active service, and he was sent to Australia as second in command of an Australian training camp. One day he slipped away from the camp and joined a replacement battalion in Queensland under the name of Charles Melville, and soon after ward was back in England training on Salisbury plain as Private Melville. He was quickly promoted to be corporal, and one day was asked by his commanding officer: "Corporal, do you think you could drill this company?" Having commanded a brigade, the corporal put the company through its paces like the veteran he was. Recognized by Officers. Back in France again, he was recognized by officers who had known him in Gallipoli as the daring and brilliant soldier they had called "Fighting Mac." General Birdwood, with whom he had served at Lone Pine, sent for him and gave him a commission. Not long afterward Colonel Mac Naghten was again sent as an invalid to England, where he was summoned to Buckingham palace to receive from the king a decoration as a companion of the order of St Michael and St. George, which had been conferred upon him several years before for his gallantry at Gallipoll. While serving in the ranks in France as "Corporal Melville" he had been personally congratulated by the commanding general for valor at Messines ridge. Mac Naghten's fighting days are now over and he is compelled to recognize this fact, for, as one of his men put it, "he is riddled like a colander and it is only his fighting spirit which keeps him alive." Kaiser Bill and Crown Prince, two German dogs that were so christened by Private Robinson Cleve and Daniel Nelson of the Five Hundred and Thirty-ninth engineers and Three Hundred and Seventy-second infantry, who captured these dogs from the Germans. Both these colored soldiers were wounded in action and returned to this country aboard the transport George Washington. FARMS FOR BRITISH SOLDIERS Bill Providing for Big Subsidies to Be Introduced in Parli- ment. London.-Plans have been perfected for the introduction in parliament of a bill granting subsidies amounting to millions of pounds sterling for the purchase of small farms for men discharged from the British army, according to announcement here. The measure will be given precedence in parliament. It is said. While the government will still grant subsidies, it is said, local authorities will be asked to assist in carrying out details. Defective Page Ordered Back to Australia. Recognized by Officers. "GERMAN DOGS" TAKES CAMEL'S PLACE Jerusalem Is Modernized by Motor truck. Beasts of Burden Are Mothered In Dust of Speeding Automobiles. Jerusalem.—The life of two periods, distant by many centuries, seems to flow along the roads that lead to this ancient city. The camel, though he has done great things for the British forces, is losing his position as the main means of transport, and the natives driving their camels carrying huge packs of Eastern merchandise are passed by the big engines of the evergrowing British broad-gauge railway, at which the country people stare with open-mouthed astonishment. Then along will come an Assyrian or an Arab on his donkey or mule, his wife walking behind and carrying a great pack her head. In this way they transport much stuff for many miles. Now they are smothered in dust from the great quantity of motor transport on the roads. The five barley loaves and small fishes still have to feed a good many people in this country, and women may still be seen grinding their scanty cup of corn between stones, but now with the introduction of good seed the country already is showing signs of vast improvement. Cotton is still made up into rough material in a primitive method on a kind of bow. With the new opportunities now opening up the old spinner is likely to be looking for another job. Already in quite small towns you will see names of well-known London firms. This has aroused the local shops to a kind of competition, and all kinds of important signs over small shops, with hardly anything to sell, announce: "The Provisions," "The Up-to-date Hosley and Dry Goods Store," "The Manchester House," and many similar. It is doubtful if 5 per cent of the prospective customers can read the signs. Shepherds on the hills still tend their flocks, dressed in camel hair, and lightly light their camp hats to keep of the ground, gliding ahead and byons. But in the future much of this rich land, now practically barren, is likely to receive the attention of the steam tractor. Alongwith, with the present means of transport, by reil, the great improvement in the water supply and the rapid introduction of European methods and customs, it may be hoped a year or two of peace will change this country into a real "land of milk and honey." TELLS OF FALSE DIAGNOSES Doctor Jackson Says Foreign Substances Often Miled Physicians. Atlantic City, N. J.—Many physicians were mised by the presence of unsuspected foreign substances in lung cavities and rushed patients to California and other distant places to recover from purely imaginary tuberculosis, declared Dr. Chevalier Q. Jackson of Pittsburgh in an address before the American Roentgen Ray society at the Hotel Trarymore. He advocated that persons believed to have bronchial affections should submit to the Roentgen ray at least once a year. In a resume of doctors' errors, Doctor Jackson told the discovery of an inverted staple in a man who had been under treatment for tuberculosis for 18 months, and of the finding of the top of an atomizer in a patient who had spent much time in California. He said that the rays had discovered an umbrella tip in the body of a daughter of a physician after the girl had been an invail for six years, of the location of a six-penny nail which caused "unmistakable symptoms" of tuberculosis, and of the finding of tacks which also confused the diagnosticians. Dr. Charles A. Waters, United States army medical corps, declared that thousands' of American soldiers had been saved in France by the use of the most modern methods of locating bullets and shell splinters. He declared that speed by the American surgeons also saved many lives and declared that when the marines stopped the Germans at Chateau-Thierry, the American surgeons passed wounded at the rate of 250 every day. FLAX DISTRICT IS RUINED Belgian City Taken by Germans Shorn of Barges and Precious Machinery. Washington.—Before the war Court was a center for the production of flax of European importance, and the city harbored for this purpose a large English and Irish colony. Now the whole flax district is ruined. The large barges in which the flax was put to rot in the Lys were sold by the Germans as firewood much below their value. The copper from the flax mills and the other precious machines were requisitioned. The soldiers were quartered in the factories and the celebrated "Lieweerschen," the plains on which the flax was bleached, were plowed and planted with tobacco and potatoes. Many, indeed, of the fertile flax fields were turned over several times and many served as battlefields. It will be 72 years before the fields bear flax again YANKEE ARMY SECOND Only Exceeded on Western Front by French. We Had 1,950,000, France 2,559,000 and Great Britain 1,715,000 Men. Washington.—America had the second largest army on the western front when the armistice was signed, according to announcement made by Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff. France stood first with 2,559,000 men, the United States second with 1,950,000 men, and England third with 1,715,000 men, including Portuguese. This is an official statement of the situation, and is quite different from predictions made a year ago by German military critics that in any event the United States would not be able to place more than 600,000 men in Europe. "We now have fairly complete reports of the strength of the allied forces on the western front at the time of the armistice," said General March, "and we find from these reports that the United States force had passed the force of Great Britain in strength, and was the second force in strength on November 11. These figures, which I have given to you are the 'raton strength,' meaning they include every man who had to be fed—combatant, noncombatant, medical men, services of supply men, etc." SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND Robert Munro has again been appointed secretary for Scotland by Premier Lloyd George. He occupied the same post in the Asquith cabinet. GREECE WANTS U. S. CHASERS Seeks to Purchase Speedy Boats No Longer Needed by American Navy. Paris—Greek naval authorities have been examining American submarine chasers which have been in the Adriatic sea with a view to their purchase. The Greek navy already had two former American battleships and experts in the service favor a further augmentation of the fleet with American craft. A fleet of 38 chasers was sent to the Adriatic to co-operate with the cruisers Olympia and Birmingham and destroyers in carrying out America's role in the creation of the provisions of the armies with America. The chasers are now at Malta for overhauling, but in the meantime the Greek government is making overtures for their purchase. These proposals may be entertained, as the close of the war makes it probable that there will be little further need of the chasers, which are particularly suited for navigation in shallow waters like those of the Greek archipelago. ROUT ALIENS TO GET JOBS Canadian Soldiers Just Returned From the Front Cause Excitement at Winnipeg. Winnipeg, Man—Allens were chased about the city and forced to kiss the Union Jack, an employment agency smashed up and several companies forced to promise that all allens would be discharged within three days by Canadian soldiers just returned from the front. They found their jobs filled by aliens. One of the first plants visited by the soldiers was that of the Swife Canadian company at Almwood, a suburb. After a near-riot they were promised that the allens would be discharged within three days. The guarantee was given by the manager of the plant, the mayor and General Ketchen, who were called to the scene. The men then split into detachments, visited many other establishments, enforcing similar demands. Whenever an alien was seen by the soldiers he was chased and forced to kiss the flag. Refuses to Raise Chicks Reunifies to Marie Corks Greenville, O.—There is a new allegation an answer to a divorce petition filed on the country court by Ira E. Bickel. After denying all of the allegations made by his wife, which were the old stereotyped charges, Bickel comes back and says his wife refused to "raise chickens or do anything else that she ought to do as a dutiful wife" If you have eight that's all to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it won. $2.00 PER YEAR Another Was Hanged and Many More Are Serving Prison Terms. False News Manufactured So That Germany Might Be Misinformed—Spies Were of Very Little Service to Germany. London—In the possession of a sergeant-major of the British military foot police is a peculiarly made leather strap—or, rather, a series of straps—for which Madame Tussaud's doubtless would pay a large sum of money. It is the strap with which German spies caught in this country and condemned to death were fastened in a special chair at the Tower of London prior to being shot. Like a wise man, the sergeant-major had the strap made to his own design and paid for it with his own money. It is to him a priceless relic of the great war. Germany's vanted spy system, like the overbloomed German navy hardly realized expectations. There were, it is true, a great many spies in England, both before and after the war-acting on behalf of the kaiser. Most of them were neutrals, and came originally from South American states. The British secret service resembled its magnificent navy. It did its work as silently and effectively, and the necessary reticence observed as to the spies being immediately to the discomfiture felt by the German government owing to the misleading information which "fell" into German hands. Mythical Barrage in Channel As a matter of fact, the naval intelligence department, under Rear Admiral Hall, acting in conjunction with the censor's department, provided false information to the Germans, an instance being the mythical Strait of Dover submarine barrage revealed by Sir Roger Keyes. Nearly all Germany's spies in this country attempted to forward their information by post. But thanks to the censor's staff it was rarely these letters, even although written in invisible ink, went undetected. All spies were not arrested immediately they were detected. The British secret service, ever considerate, allowed them to send and receive letters and collect information, but it reserved the privilege of opening the correspondence both ways and making alterations likely to be of more use to the allies than to Germany. It is difficult to estimate the value of the information obtained by this method. The Hun, with his profound disrespect for British finesse, probably never will believe that Britain could be guilty of such astuteness. It is certain that Germany obtained wives that was useful from her spies in England, and the outbreak of war the ports were too watchful to permit of much leakage. Up and down the east and south-west coasts of England were, however, many "hydros," palatial hotels, built right on the sea, with large copper domes twinkling brightly for many miles out at sea. And the manager was often a German. Eight German spies were executed in this country, while many more are undergoing long terms of penal servitude. For obvious reasons the names of many never were revealed. The imperial government continued to communicate with them blissfully unaware that their agents had gone to a bourne from which not even a German spy returns. The British secret service kindly acted as the spy's deputy. Executed in Tower The execution of these spies is naturally an unpleasant subject, but none the less interesting. After the secret trial and condemnation to death the spy was taken to the tower, there to await the dread summons in the early hours of the morning. Taken from his cell by a party of military police the spy was strapped to a chair in a quadrangle of the tower. There, facing him, about ten spaces distant, was a firing party, usually eight men, from the battalion of guards on duty at the time. A low instruction from the officer in command to aim at the heart, a sharp order "Fire!" a burst of flame, and the crack of one rifle had ended the career of another of Germany's tools. One spy was hanged at Wormwood Scrubs prison; seven others were shot. The hanging cost about $100, and, coming to the conclusion that it would be just as effective, to say nothing of considerably cheaper, it was decided to shoot all spies at the tower. Eight cartridges at three cents each was a much more appropriate warfare of a German. The spies were much doubtless will be written by fiction writers of the future. Like the men, they succeeded in getting comparatively little information of value out of the country. Most of them, neither young nor beautiful like the spy of the story writer, are languishing behind prison walls and will remain there for some years to come. British chivalry forbade their execution.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." — John Stuart Mill. --- SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1919. PIGEON-HOLED The country will long suffer the evil consequences of the obstructive policy pursued by the Democrats in Congress in preventing the prompt adoption of the Weeks resolution for the creation of a joint, bi-partisan Congressional Committee on Reconstruction. The Weeks plan was the most comprehensive ever proposed. Formulated at a time when Republicans' return to power was assured, it bore the stamp of broad statesmanship, for it proposed an equal division of membership on the committee. It has been pigeon-holed and the Democrats have offered nothing in its stead. TRIPLE CELEBRATION Rev. W. H. McRidley, editor of The Cadiz (Ky.) Informer, will do some anniversary celebrating from March 6 to March 9, inclusive. He will celebrate the 77th anniversary of his birthday; the 36th anniversary of his pastorate of the Second Baptist Church of Cadiz and the 16th anniversary of the Cadiz Informer. An elaborate program will be given each day with the grand finale on Sunday morning, March 9, at 11:00 o'clock, when his Thirty-sixth Annual Message will be given to the members, visitors and friends of his church. Brother McRidley seems to have put a very perceptible crimp in the old adage: "The Good Die Young." Evidently he must be a good man to have spent so much of his life in SERVICE for others. IF NOT, WHY NOT? The foreign affairs committee of the U. S. House of Representatives has ordered favorably reported a resolution expressing the hope that the peace conference would "favorably consider the claims of Ireland to the right of self-determination." Four of the seventeen members of the committee attending the meeting were understood to have voted against the resolution. The text follows: "Resolved, by the house of representatives (the senate concurring) that it is the earnest hope of the congress of the United States of America that the W. H. "The Great Emancipator." Whose Birthday Anniversary was Celebrated Last Wednesday, February 12 "The Great Emancipator," Whose Birthday Anniversary was Celebrated Last Wednesday, February 12 peace conference now sitting in Paris in passing upon the rights of various peoples will favorably consider the claims of Ireland to the right of self-determination." This action leaves the shortsighted colored men who have opposed the sending of colored representatives to the Peace Congress to appeal for justice to the colored people of America, without a leg upon which to stand. If the U. S. Congress can ask the Peace Congress to interfere in the internal affairs of Great Britain, why cannot the colored people of the United States appeal to the world assembled at Paris to intervene in the internal affairs of this country and stop lynching and the oppression of one of its groups of citizens? 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 When Congress authorized the President to take over the railroads it fixed the time of government operation to be for the period of the war and for 21 months thereafter. To provide a means of financing such operation a revolving fund of $500,000.00 was set aside for the use of the Director General in supplying funds to needy roads for maintenance and equipment. It was supposed by the legislators that that huge sum would be ample to meet all requirements; in fact it was anticipated] that] long before it was exhausted some of the first loans made would be coming back into the Treasury, and the fund would in truth revolve. But instead of carrying the roads through a period of years, as contemplated by the framers of the legislation, the "revolving" fund is practically exhausted in the very first year of Federal administration. The Director General in his annual report admits that over $453,000,000 of that amount has been expended already. Not only that but $25,000,000 has been taken from surplus receipts of railroad and express companies and loaned back to the roads in addition to the millions from the revolving fund. Of course payments to the Government for its loans from the revolving fund, if they are ever made, must come from surplus earnings, but when those earnings are diverted from that purpose and turned into further loans the result is only to sink the roads deeper into the financial mire.

BLOW IT ALL IN- 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 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. JOBS IN U. S. SERVICE OPEN. PERMANENT employment in the government service and immediate reinstatement in the federal civil service of men who served in the army and navy is announced in a bulletin issued by the federal civil service commission at Washington. In expectation of the mustering out of thousands of former government employees from the military and naval service who will be seeking reinstatement in the government service the federal civil service commission obtained an executive order by the president providing for the reinstatement at any time within five years of discharge of any person leaving the classified civil service to engage in the military or naval service of the country. Under the president's ruling it will not be necessary for the applicant to be reinsted in his former position, but anywhere in the civil service, pro Moton's Advice To Soldiers Oversea Starts Big Storm Southern Newspapers In Paris Praise Unwanted Suggestions To Black Troopers as to Their Conduct on Returning Home---- Moton's Special Mission Explained D. R. H. "The Old Man Eloquent." Whose Birthday Anniversary will be Celebrated Next Tuesday, February 18 (From the New York News.) Paris, Jan.-Dr. Robert R. Moton, who came here to France on a "special" mission, made a trip, via automobile, to two or three points where have been mobilized colored soldiers. He made an address to them, at each point visited, and especially urged upon them when returning to the United States, to be "modest and unassuming." The Stars and Stripes published in Paris, and in the interest of the A. E. F., and which heretofore has given ve.y little space to mention of the colored soldiers, except publishing something assumed to be humorous, using images of Southern dialect, gail. Mr. Moton's address considerable space, emphasizing the point he made that the colored soldiers should return "modest and unassuming." The Paris edition of The New York Herald, which likewise has given but little space to the colored soldier, also gave Dr. Moton's address to the colored soldiers a prominent space, and particularly noted nities for employment in federal public works is contained in the bulletin. Application should be filed directly with the labor board at all government plants. DR. R. R. MOTON'S MISSION ABROAD WHAT THREE WELL KNOWN COLORED WRITERS THINK OF IT.

Dr. Moton will find that this part of his mission to France is unnecessary. The colored men in the army in France have given their commander no cause for complaint on this score. The French people in French newspapers have spoken in hilarity of their conduct. It is a gratitudinous thing the character of these men to send Dr. Moton or any other man to France to teach them good morals. Dr. Moton is quoted as saying that the Africans are incapable of self-government. If he means the Africans in Africa, along the gold coast, the west coast, Basutoland, Barotse land, etc., I can tell him that he is grossly mistaken, and that he is libelling the character of these intelligent people who have for years demonstrated their ability for self-government along lines. Dr. Moton is hardly the man to pass judgment on the capacity of the Africans for self-government. He does not know and Africa and the Africans, nor as much, as the American delegates who are relying on him to advise them on this subject. JOHN E. BRUCE. Record of Old 8th: 22 American Crosses 68 French Crosses Here is an epitome of the history of the Three Hundred and Seventieth United States infantry, formerly the old Eighth Illinois national guard, colored regiment, in France: Suffered 50 per cent casualties; lost ninety-five men and one officer killed outright. Lost only one prisoner to the Germans in all the months they fought. Captured many German cannon that he "emphasized" the fact that the colored soldiers should return "modest and unassuming." This advice given by Dr. Moton appeared to interest these two American newspapers published in Paris, and it is accepted that his "special" mission to France, at this time, and just at the time when colored soldiers who have been for months fighting in France are about to return to the United States, is to impress upon them that they should be "modest and unassuming" on their return, and to accept quietly, and uncompromisingly whatever discrimination and segregation may be imposed on them in the States on their return, after having fought for the freedom of democracy. Moton was accompanied his trip to the camps by Thomas Jones Jones of the Bureau of Education at Washington, and who, at one time, was one of the white instructors at Hampton Institute, with which Dr. Moton was connected before being chosen principal of Tuskegee. Participated in the final drive against the Germans on the French sector, advancing in the final stages of the war as far as thirty-five kilometers in one day. Took no German prisoners. Were the first allied troops to enter the French fortress of Laon when it was wrested from the Germans after four years of war. Won twenty-two American distinguished service crosses and sixty-eight French war crosses. Fought the last battle of the war, capturing a German wagon train of fifty wagons and crews a half hour after the armistice went into effect. Refused to fraternize with the Germans even after the armistice was signed. Porto Rico Asks For Freedom San Juan, Porto Rico, Feb. 12.

Should Open the Doors to Opportunity 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 anonymous is significant of an opinion still widely influential. "Kindly send them to Africa, instead of mixing them with us." As the expression of an individual desire these two points are of admissible, but as practicable measured men, and as many intelligent person should seriously them. Does any one suppose that the colored population of the United States could be sent to Africa, or that 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 reckonable menace to respectability and intrinsic leadership to open a few industrial doors to their proved abilities and usefulness? While we write, a servant unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the bose, the white man take his orders. But not the least trouble about it. There would never be trouble if it were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. G. P.

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD 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 banners of the armies of the victors was "Away with tyranny and its injustice everywhere." Assembled for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representative Assembly for World Democracy under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League congratulates 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.

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

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.

For some time there has been in this city a little club of ladies known as the E. T. I, and they got along nicely until on one occasion they invited their husbands to a meeting. Said husbands have been somewhat envious of the nice times their wives were having and they issued propaganda that resulted in Mr. B. C. Archer claiming to be president, and he appointed each of the husbands to an office and issued invitations to the wives and a few other persons to a meeting at his home on last Thursday evening. The wives accepted, and the husbands and others were also on hand. Whist was the feature of the evening and five tables were being played when at about 10 o'clock two policemen appeared at the door and created consternation by producing the arrest of the usurping Pres. Archer. Excitement was high for a few moments until the matter could be explained to the officers, who thereupon gracefully retired and all again settled down to the enjoyment of the occasion. Mr. Archer saw the error of his way and coming down from his high horse asked pardon of the ladies and promised not to offend again. A very dainty, delightful luncheon was served. The ladies' prize was won by Mrs. Jackson Sparks and the gentlemen's prize by Dr. Val Do Turner. Those who enjoyed the occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johnson, B. C. Wheeler, B. C. Richaon, B. C. Wingington, J. Q. Adams, Valdo Turner, Clete Oliver, Jackson Sparks, Lieut. Frank Wingington, Mr. Peavey Johnson, Misses Edythella Adams and Hazel Washington. MISS VIRGINIA TIBBS Entertains for Dr. and Mrs. Clarence Checks. Miss Virginia L. Tibbs, one of our last summer's debutantes, and a recent graduate of Central High School, had the pleasure on last Tuesday evening of presenting to a number of her friends of the Twin City the newly-weds, Dr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Cheeks. The many pretty gowns and flowers worn by the ladies, and the evening dress of the genetlemen, were very befitting for a wedding party. The new arrangement of the HENRY PRYOR TEL.

A BAD BILL The bill to establish "An Additional Battalion for the Minnesota National Guard" has been before the Military Committee and been recommended to pass. It has been somewhat amended and some, objectionable features have been taken out, but it is just about as objectionable as the short-lived bill to pass which it is hoped it will not, some of the short-sighted colored men who were the cause of its being framed will very probably have cause to regret that such legislation was enacted in Minnesota. As a matter of fact there is absolutely no need for such a bill. The bill under which the present Minnesota National Guard was organized is all that is needed except that IT be amended to authorize the organization actively as the ones now in existence were organized. There is no necessity whatever for the bill in question and it should not pass. NO COLOR LINE TO BE DRAWN. It will be remembered that some weeks ago the hired manager of "Ucle Sam's Club" for Soldiers and Sailors, corner of Fourth and Cedar Sts, refused to allow some colored soldiers who went there, to enjoy its privileges. Some members of the Equal Rights League interested themselves in the matter and applied to the proper authorities at Washington, D. C., and the answer has come that no distinctions on account of color are to be made in that club. YOU CAN DEDICATE IT TO HER—SHE'LL TAKE IT. Harriet E.

Some time last summer THE APPEAL published a short article about Mr. A. C. Guye as District Manager of an insurance Co. in Minneapolis which gave evidence of his ability and success in this field of endeavor.

The Company is over 50 years old and has a capital of $500,000. Sick and accident policies are written for men and women and children from 30 days old, with weekly premiums from 5 to 10 cents and is very liberal with policy holders.
