Yankee Division Living Amid Kaleidoscope of International Spies, Revolutionists, Conspirators and Beautiful Princesses. By CAPT.-ROBERT J. CASEY, In the Chicago Journal. Gosselandge, Luxemburg.—General Bell is president of Graustark now. His division—to which we have finally become attached—is living amid a kaleidoscope of international spies, mysterious men with black beards, revolutionists, conspirators, counterconspirators and beautiful princesses. All day long the white highways are filled with dashing courtiers. All night long vigil committees lie awake trying to figure out what new plan of government to start off the next day with. It is certainly a strange situation for a poor, guillele lot of infantry and artillery. It isn't officially set down in the records that the general is the last word hereabouts, but no one—even the most ardent revolutionary leader—fails to admit that his is the only constituted authority. So long as he continues to sit in state at die kirche the plotters don't get much of a chance to raise a disturbance. The Storm Breaks. The storm broke in the teapot the day Battery F, 124th field artillery, arrived here after the long march from the Meuse. We were just turning across the River Alzette when a purple limousine all trimmed with gold and displaying a brace of silver braided admirals in the front seat came down the Luxembourg City highway and frightened the guildon's mule into hysteresis. The battery was called to attention and salutes were exchanged before it was realized that the beautiful Marie Adelade, grand duchsee of Luxemburg and royal princess by her own right, had just passed. Not knowing anything politics are could guess that something had gone wrong. That night, however, a bulletin was tacked to the door of the schoolhouse annex—now doing service as a battery kitchen—stating in French and German that Marie Adelade had abdicated in favor of her sister, Charlotte, and that if the populace would try to keep calm, the government would try to continue doing business at the old stand. The story of the revolt, when translated out of two or three mixed languages, is a Grimm's Fairy Tale sort of thing. The beautiful Adelade, it seems, had been something of a popular idle in Luxemburg prior to the war. There is a legend connected with her attitude toward the advancing Prussians that once was current and credited in all parts of the duchy of Luxembourg. The duchess was shocked when the Germans refused to respect the neutrality of her country, Luxemburg's army on paper consisted of 250 men and actually mustered some 70 sturdy troopers. The minister of war naturally figured that he didn't have much of a chance in opposing Germany, so the princess undertook moral saslon. She drove out to the border and lay down across the road and uttered the sentence famous for a time throughout the duchy: "You dare not pass." Duchess Was Mishformed. But, alas for the proper climax of the story, the beautiful Adelade had been misinformed. They did dare to pass. A couple of brawny hussars picked the princess up, deposited her alongside the road and executed a neat forward march. That night the invading generals dined at the princess' palace in Colmar-Verg. There is no way of determining what was the political persuasion of the populace during the four years that followed. Luxemburg seems to have been favored at the hands of the Hun—that is, so far as Hun hands ever favored anybody but the Hun. There was little of the conscription of foodstuffs and farming materials as practiced in Belgium and France. Luxemburg was present in the poles of the kaiser's empire might purchase the delicacies that war regulation had deprived them of at home. However gently the wily Hun may have treated Luxemburg on his first trip into France, pro-Germanism is an unpopular vice in this county just now. Nobody loves a loser. Hence the grand duchess, who had become engaged to a German noble during the war, suddenly found herself an object of suspicion. After a parley with some committees another throne was vacant. We don't know how long the Princess Charlotte remained in possession, but she stepped down, too, and the affairs of state passed into the hands of the revolutionists. What is a piece of a fair tale. It is called, truthfully enough, "Little Switzerland." and is peaceful, well kept, clean and simple. Fat fowl and fat bables play about the cobbled door yards. It's almost impossible to imagine such a country after having been condemned to the battered villages of the front for six months as we were. Famous English Specialist Expounds New Theory. Claims Color Schemes In Decorating Will Make People Healthier and Happier. London—Kemp Prosser, the famous English color specialist, has been conducting some interesting experiments which he hopes the British government will adopt for decorating houses during the reconstruction period. He maintains that the adoption of his color schemes will make the British both healthier and happier. Interviewed in his two "health rooms," one with walls of sunlight yellow and the ceiling sky blue, with blue net curtains at the windows, Mr. Prosser declared that his purpose is to bring outdoors inside. "I am doing away with my pictures," he said. "Instead I am installing these bowls of fruit, as you see, on pedestals against the background of the sunlight walls. These embroidered cushions on the chairs aid in carrying out my purpose with their flower designs." Then the color specialist led the way to the other room, in which the dominating color was apple-blossom pink. "This is the normal color," said Mr. Prosser, "because I have found that ninety-nine people out of a hundred are happiest in rooms of this shade." CAT JUMPS ON KING'S BACK Editors Told of Incident by Captain Merriam, Who Dined With Royalty. Chicago—A cat may not only look at a king but may even jump on his back and sink its claws into his shoulders—if he be the king of Italy. In proof Capt. Charles E. Merriam, formerly in charge of American propaganda in Italy, told Italian editors who tendered him a dinner recently the story of the cat that jumped on King Victor Emmuelel. The king was gracious enough to invite me to dine with him and his suite at his backroom near Paduac, Captain Merriam said, "I had a long conversation with him before concerning my work in Italy. He speaks excellent English and asked many questions. "Later, while we were dining, I was sitting at his right, a large Mattee cat—the royal cat—with a beautiful coat of fur, suddenly leaped up on my lap. I quietly nudged him off my knee. To my surprise he leaped up on the king's back. "The king uttered an exclamation, I seized the cat and pulled him off, although he nudged on for dear life. The king leaped heartily, I said: "Your modesty, this means either very good or very bad luck for our common cause." "It is very good luck for me," replied the king." "DIP" GETS $7,000 IN TUBE Morris Bleacher Lease Savings of Seven Years on Busway in New York New York.-While riding in the Fourth avenue subway on his way uptown in Manhattan or in an interborough train of the Seventh avenue line, to which he changed at Canal street, the pocket of Morris Bleender was picked of $7,000. Bleender came on a Sea Beach train from Brooklyn. He had in his trousers pocket four $1,000 bills and thirty $100 with which he intended to buy two motor trucks with which to start a business. He had saved the money for seven years. When he left the train he felt his pocket and discovered the money was gone. London—Rats can't live in high altitudes. Interesting as indicating a difficulty if not a danger in long distance flying which will have to be guarded against, is the story of an adventurous rat, told on their arrival at Karachi by Maj. G. Salmond and his party, who are flying from Carro to Australia by way of Persia and India. The rat, attracted by the food supplies, is believed to have boarded an airplane at Chabar, a previous stopping place, or earlier. At all events, it was heard gnawing after leaving Chabar, and at Karchchi the guard which protected the machine during the night heard the rat continuing its nibbling. The rat, however, could not be located or caught. After leaving Karachi its activities went on, and as it was thought it might be gnawing some important part of the machine, it was decided to see if cold would have any effect on its activities. The machine was accordingly taken to over 10,000 feet, and this was too much for a rat nurtured in the balmy warmth of the Persian gulf, and frozen or numbed with cold, it could apparently hold on no longer, and dropped off into space. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY: 11:48 19 THIS TELLS HOW TO FIGURE INCOME TAX Squarely Up to Every Individual to Get Busy by March 15 or Suffer Penalty. "Don't wait until the final due date, March 15th, for paying your Income Tax and making your return. Avoid the last minute rush. Any person can figure out his liability today as well as he can next week, and if there is any point on which he needs advice he can mention it. This word of advice is from Edward J. Lynch, Collector of Internal Revenue, St. Paul, who is collecting the Income Tax in Minnesota. Collector Lynch is giving without charge every aid of his office and his enlarged field force to help the people get their payments and their returns in by March 15th. The Income Tax men will not pull your door-bell or your coat-tails, according to the Collector's announcement, is squirrely up to every individual to figure out his own case and to get busy if he comes within the scope of the new Revenue law. Did You Earn This Much? Every unmarried person who received income averaging $19.25 a week during 1918 and every married couple who jointly received income averaging $38.50 a week should secure at once from the nearest Deputy Collector or the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A. That form contains the information he will need to enable him to figure his correct net income and any tax that he owes the Government. The law requires that every unmarried person who had a net income of $1,000 or over and every married person whose net income was $2,000 or over (including the income of husband or wife) the earnings of minor children, if any) makes a return on or before March 15th. And this requirement does not hinge on whether the person owes a tax. Taxable Income. An individual must include under gross income all gains, profits and income derived from salaries, wages or compensation for personal service of whatever kind-and in whatever form paid or from professions, vocations, business, sales or dealings in property of all kinds, interest, rent, dividends or profits derived from any source whatever. Very few items of income are exempt. Deductions include ordinary and necessary business expenses, interest paid or accrued on indebtedness, taxes of all kinds except Federal income and excess profits taxes and assessments for local benefits, losses actually sustained, debts ascertained to be worthless and depreciation on buildings, machinery, fixtures, etc., used in business. A further deduction is allowed for contributions to corporations operated for religious, charitable, scientific or educational purposes or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals to an amount not exceeding 15 per cent of the taxpayer's net income as computed without the benefit of the contribution deduction. The taxpayer is not allowed to deduct any personal, living or family expense, any amount spent for improving property or making good its exhaustion for which an allowance is claimed under depreciation. Figuring the Tax. Before figuring the normal tax the dividends are deducted as credits from net income, together with the personal exemption. As in previous years, dividends of domestic corporations are exempt from normal tax when received by the stockholder. The normal tax rates for citizens and employees are as follows: On the first $4,000 of the income in excess of the credits the rate is 6 per cent; on any further taxable income the rate is 12 per cent. The surtax rates apply to net income of each individual in excess of $5,000. The personal exemption and the dividends are not deductible before computing surtax. In the case of returns by husband and wife, the net income of each is considered separately in computing any surtax that may be due. Form 1040 should be used for making returns of net income exceeded $5,000, and the instructions on that form will show how to figure the surtax. Business House Returns Employers and others who paid wages, salaries, rent, interest or similar determinable gains in an amount of $1,000 or over during 1918 to any person must file an information return with the Government. Blanks may be secured from the Collector. Every partnership must file a return showing its income and deductions and the name and address of each partner, with his share of the profits or losses during the past year. Personal service corporations will file similar information for 1918. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ **INCOME TAX PAYS FOR PUBLIC BENEFITS.** "Viewed in its largest and truest sense, the payment of taxes is payment for benefits received or expected. Only from a narrow and essentially selfish and shortsighted viewpoint can the individual propose to him- self the evasion of tax liability as a desirable course of action." —Daniel C.

Pretty Senorita Gets Stories About Chief in American Newspapers. Juarez, Mexico—Mexico is as modern as she is ancient. Gen. Jesus Augustin Castro, the new commander in chief of the northeastern military zone, not only has a woman press agent but a pretty one, to see that the general's campaign against the Villa forces receives proper attention from the Mexican and American border newspapers. She is Senorita Teresa Rodriguez, daughter of a prominent Mexican politician of Mexico City, who came north soon after General Castro was relieved of active duties as subsecretary of war to conduct a campaign against the bandits of the north. Senorita Rodriguez does not speak a word of English, but she succeeded in having her photograph and a sketch of General Castro printed in all the American border papers as soon as arrived from Chihuahua City to host her publicity campaign for the Mexican commander. Yet Senorita Rodriguez said, in her most liquid Spanish, she did not wish to exert what the Americans called "petitcant influence" to get her stories printed. "Why should not the Mexicans adopt the best the Americans have originated?" she said at military headquarters to the Associated Press correspondent. "The much-abused press agent has served a very useful purpose in presenting to the public the good features of every worthy movement, every campaign conducted by military or political leaders, and even your President Wilson recognized this when he appointed a director general of publicity. General Castro does not order me to have his deeds and pictures published, although I have done many brave deeds and is a sterling man. What he instructed me to do, especially on the American side of the border, was to correct many false impressions subsidized Mexican papers have given the American public about Mexico and its internal conditions. In doing this I feel I am serving my country, and besides I enjoy the work." Largest Whistle. Pittsburgh—What is said to be the largest whistle in the world has been placed on one of the smokestacks of the Homestead Steel Works. The whistle, 200 feet above the ground, is five feet long and one foot in diameter and is connected with a three-inch steam pipe. It requires 150 pounds of steam to blow the whistle, which can be heard twelve miles. VENNESE MERRY DESPITE DEFEAT VENNESE MERRY DESPITE DEFEAT They Know They Were Beaten, Admit It, and Let It Go at That. SMART CAFES ARE CROWDED People Are Well Dressed, Cheerful, and Pay Enormous Prices for Chocolate and Cakes—Future Left to the Politicians. Vienna.—Perhaps the most striking characteristic of Vienna just now is its citizens' indifference. To enter the crowded, smart, beautifully decorated cafes and watch the lively, laughing public there is to ask: "Do these people realize that they have lost the war and an empire, and are reduced to being citizens of a poverty-striken state of under 8,000,000, with an enormous war debt, a bankrupt exchequer, and an ever-growing army of unemployed." If a foreigner visited this city's cafes and restaurants without being told that he was in a country that had been engaged in a disastrous war for over four years he would think its citizens themselves in peaceful prosperity. Laughter, careless talk about the opera, the ballet and a prominent actress' private life greet you from all sides. Not a word about war or politics. Officers in bright colored uniforms with much gold lace and with rows of decorations glittering on their turtles, are as lively as the civilians, while fashionable furs and lacey, costly, fashionable furs and lacey, nothing to those who enjoyed life here before the war. They are every whit as "chlc," as gray and up-to-date. The Smartest Cafe. Strange to relate, Vienna's smartest, dearest and most sought-after cafe was opened during the war. The Cafe Krantz is the last word in luxury and attractiveness. Money has been lavished on its decorations, and its music is supplied by the orchestra of the Volks opera, conducted by the popular violinist and composer, Willy Kleinberg. Here idlers sip chocolate made with water at 60 cents a small cup, eat small cakes of whitest flour at 70 cents each, flick, chat and listen to as good music as you can enjoy anywhere in the world. Each seat at one of the little round tables costs 12 cents on ordinary days, but on holidays, such as New Year's eve, you cannot get inside the place under 60 cents, while the best seats, which are in the gallery upstairs, overlooking the high hall, where the music is, and the main part of the cafe, cost $1. Every seat is taken, every occupant happy, careless and abashed merely in pleasure. You can be seen at Pucher's tea room, opened a year ago, with broccole bung walls and discreet corners. Here, a cracker costs 50 cents and a cupful of chocolate 80 cents, while a portion of imitation tea, without sugar or milk, can be had for 50 cents. The crowd here is as well dressed, as cheerful and as indifferent to the Versalles conference as that in the Cafe Krantz. The Atlantis, another magnificent cafe built during the war, is on the ground floor of a hotel, unopened only because Vienna cannot find furniture for it. At least it was till a couple of days ago, when the Italian military commission arrived here, General- Segre in command, and opened offices on the first floor. The Italian flag hangs from the balcony, over the heads of the cafe habitues, but nobody mentions it, or the war and its disasters. "Is This What We Fought For?" No, there were some battered officer in shubby uniform can be seen scowling on the thoughtless crowd with a look that says: "Is this what we fought for?" But such are few and far between. The majority of the military people take recent events like the civilians. A Viennese explained it to me: "They are so happy the war is over." It matters not what comes next: the problems of the future are left to professional politicians. The war is over, the cafes are attractive, the opera is open. These are the things which matter. No wonder you hear people say: "There is no fear of boishevism, for people are too careless to want it." This attitude is not the boastful one of the Germans, who tell the universe they are not beaten. The Austrian knows he is beaten and so. But so long with his pocketbook is stuffed with paper money he keeps smiling and goes to the restaurant and cafe of his choice to look at the pretty women and talk about the pallet. Nothing else is worth notice. Amsterdam.-Count Bentinck, host to William Hohenzollern, has a cook who is a dead ringer for the ex-kalser. He is frequently pointed out to strangers as the former German ruler, and has been a part with rare dignity and majesty of pose. Crewless Ship Proves to Be a Success. Army and Navy Experts Report That Wireless Control Is Possible. Washington.—Army and navy experts have reported the device of John Hays Hammond, Jr., for radio control of surface craft to be sent laden with explosives against enemy ships a success, and predict similar results with submerged craft showing above water only wireless antennae. Results of tests were made public in connection with the new fortifications appropriation bill, which carries $475,000 for construction of an experimental submerged boat. Secretary Baker wrote the house appropriations committee, which is considering the bill, that the joint army and navy board was "convinced of the practicability of the control" of the surface craft, and added that there had also been demonstrations of the possibility of the control of a craft completely submerged except for an air bridge. Before finally deciding on the purchase of the patents for $750,000 the board desires further experiment with the submerged craft. Construction of the submerged craft, which will be about 80 feet long by 7 feet in diameter, will take two years, according to Mr. Hammond, who told the committee he has spent ten years and $400,000 on his invention. "There is no question whatever as to the ability to control with great accuracy the torpedo or carrier," said a letter of MaJ. Gen. F. W. Coe, a member of the board, "so long as it is a surface vessel or has any antenna above the water, by direct radio waves, either from shore or from an airplane." With a shore station having a height of 80 feet above sea level radio control of the craft has been demonstrated to the board up to a distance of seven miles, but General Coe said that if controlled from an airplane there was no limit as to distance except the propelling power of the torpedo or the boat carried it or the airplane. MAJ. GEN. ARTHUR MURRAY Maj. Gen. Arthur Murray, retired, will be clerk of the military affairs committee of the next house, unless the war department objects. Representative Jullus Kahn, who will be chairman of the committee, has announced that he will have General Murray appointed to the position. FRENCH NAVY LOST 134 SHIPS Total of Tonnage, 110,000; Four Battleships and Four Armored Cruisers in List. Paris—A full list of French naval losses in the war includes four battleships, the Bouvet, Suffren, Gaulois and Danton; four armored cruisers, the Leon Gambetta, Amiral Charner, Cleber and Dupetit Touche; one fast cruiser, the Chateauenaut; fourteen destroyers, eight torpedo boats and fourteen submarines. One of the submarines, the Durt, was refroated by the enemy; Mine cruisers was subsequently recovered. Minelayer cruisers, five auxiliary cruisers, four gunboats, seventy-two submarine chasers, one sloop and seven small craft. The French loss totaled 110,000 tons, against 550,000 tons for England, 76,000 tons for Italy and 17,500 tons for the United States. 50,000 YANKS GO TO SCHOOL Hundreds of Former Instructors Are Chosen to Teach Soldiers of the A.

Paris—Fifty thousand soldiers of the American expeditionary forces have enrolled as students in the army post schools in France, conducted under the direction of the army educational commission. Hundreds of former college and academy professors and instructors drawn from the various branches of the A. E. F. have been sent to teach in these schools. The plan is to make these divisional in operation with the division until it is returned home and demobilized.

GRAND FLEET IN DANGER Short of Cruisers, Destroyers and Had Defenseless Bases in Early Months of Conflict—Describes Big Bat London.—The dangers to which the British grand fleet, short of cruisers, destroyers and with defenseless bases, was exposed during the first two and one-half years of the war, owing to the German use of submarines, mines and torpedoes, is described in a book written by Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, commander of the fleet, covering the activities of 1914-16. Admiral Jellicoe points out that the German high seas fleet possessed 88 destroyers, compared with 42 for the grand fleet, that, owing to the submarine menace, the grand fleet, in the fall of 1914, moved from Lough Swilly and only returned to the North sea when the anchorage in Scapa Flow became reasonably safe. Neither in October, 1914, nor in May, 1916, Admiral Jellicoe says, did the British margin of superiority justify him in disregarding the enemy's torpedo fire. The situation gradually improved after 1916, especially as the light cruiser and destroyer forces with the grand fleet increased steadily after the fall of Fulham, unsuccessfully during the danger of successful torpedo attack, while the inclusion of class K submarines made it probable that the enemy would suffer more severely from submarine attack than the British. Tables Are Turned. Regarding 1918, Admiral Jellicoe says: "The position was assured and we could have afforded to take risks which in 1916 would have been unwise. If the German fleet had come out to battle, a terrible punishment awaited them." One-third of the admiral's book is devoted to the battle of Jutland. In summing up the lessons of the battle, Admiral Jellicoe dwells upon "the danger involved in leaving too much to chance in fleet action, because our fleet was the one and only factor vital to the existence of the empire, and, indeed, to the allied cause." "We had no reserve outside the battle fleet which could in any way replace the event of disaster even should the main superiority be eliminated," the admiral continues. Admiral Jellicoe says he knew that his ships were inadequately protected with armor compared to the German vessels of the battle cruiser type, while the German fleet in the battle of Jutland was far better off in the number of destroyers. In addition, the Germans possessed "a most efficient armor-piercing shell." Describes Big Battle. The admiral continues: "When the battle fleets approached there was a difference of reckoning between the British battle fleet and the battle cruiser squadrons, due to the cruisers having been engaged for several hours and having repeatedly altered their course. Hence, instead of the encirclement just ahead the Germans appeared on the starboard bow." Instant action was necessary, the admiral says, and he decided to deploy on the port wing division, thus compelling the Germans to turn off to starboard to avoid being crossed. This maneuver, which has been described as masterly by reviewers, threw the enemy into complete confusion. The German commander in chief realized that his only hope lay in escape, profiting by his superiority in torpedo craft, low visibility, the approach of darkness and the proximity of his bases and minefields. The enemy at this period fired hundreds of torpedoes, as German officers have since stated, Admiral Jellicoe have continued, and although the Germans were in the gravest peril, the position of the grand fleet itself was menaced by determined torpedo attacks in thick weather. But the British fleet by turning its battle line four times during the action, the admiral, got clear of the torpedoes, which were racing toward the British ships, and defeated the tactics upon which the Germans base their hopes. The relative strength of the two fleets early in the war, Admiral Jellicoe expresses surprise that the Germans were so cautious and says: "If this country in the future decided to rely for safety against raids or invasion on the fleet alone, it is essential that we possess a considerate and well-organized force in a possible enemy in all classes of vessels than we did in August, 1914."

SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1919 JEWS OPPOSE A SEGREGATED NATION. Short-sighted colored men who are talking about a "negro republic" in Africa, and forgetting to agitate for reform in the treatment of 12,000,000 colored citizens of the United States, ought to know that prominent non-Zionist Jews from all parts of the United States have sent with President Wilson to the peace conference their objections to the Zionist demand for a Jewish state in Palestine. The petition was handed to the President by Congressman Kahn on February 5. There were 988 names on the petition representing the richest and most prominent Hebrews in the country. The objections to the establishment of a "Jewish Homeland in Palestine" are set forth under four specific headings, the chief one of which is that "the Jews are dedicated heart and soul to the countries in which they dwell under free conditions." "All Jews," the petition states, "repudiate every suspicion of a double allegiance, but to our minds it is necessarily implied in and cannot by any logic be eliminated from the establishment of a sovereign state for the Jews." The petition also states that "by the large part taken by them in the great war, the Jews have once and for all shattered the base aspersions of the anti-Semites, who charged them with being allens in every land, incapable of true patriotism, and prompted only by sinister and self-seeking motives." It says that those who would seek the establishment of a Jewish sovereign state and yet "insist on their patriotic attachment to the countries of which they are citizens, are self-deceived in their professions of Zionism, and under a spell of emotional romanticism or of a religious sentiment fostered through centuries of gloom." If the Jews representing to a great extent the leadership in commerce and industry and the money power of the World are opposed to a "im crow" state, why should not colored men protest against segregation in every form? SEGREGATED ON THE OLYMPIA BY "SOUTHERN COMMANDERS" AND GOLORS LOST, THEY CHARGE. By Philip A. Payne New York, Feb. 24.—Colored officers of the 365th Infantry, Chicago's colored draft regiment, who returned from France today, charged they had been sent to the Olympic and that a brigadier general and colonel, ranking officers aboard the ship, had refused to rescind an order segregating them from the white officers. Their charges, made in writing and presented to the men men who colored Y. M. C. A. secretary, acting on behalf of the officers, were substantiated by colored officers of the 350th Field Artillery, the 367th Infantry and the 317th Sanitary Train, other colored units on the trans port. Officers Refused Justice. They said "Brigadier General Charles Gearhardt, commanding all troops on the Olympic, and Colonel George H. McMaster of the 365th Infantry, were "southerners of the old school, with a history of the military refect to see justice done the colored officers." British naval officers commanding the Olympic told a delegation of the protesting officers the segregation order had been issued to them by their white commander. Twelve colored officers of the 365th and the other organizations gathered in the cabin of the regimental chapel while the Y. M. C. A. secretary gave a copy of the charges to reporters. The "Y" man said he was acting for the officers who feared court marriages if their names were used. He substantiated his statement. BURLESON'S SERVICE Philadelphia is only a two hours' run by train from New York, and there is a train every hour, but it took the Burleson postal service from a Thursday afternoon to Saturday afternoon to transport an important package of medicine that distance, and deliver it. To expeditie matters, the telegraph, the telephone and special delivery services were called into action, but the medicine reached its destination an hour after the patient had died. What would you have to say if the patient had been a member of your family? Remembering the language in which President Wilson induced his democratic congress to reverse itself on the subject of Panama canal tolls against the interests of the United States, it will not be surprising if he tells the country that the proposed constitution of the League of Nations must be indorsed "in ungrudging measure" or he will not know how to deal with other vital international problems.

"Rebuilding the world," is the inscription surrounding the cross on the shield of the "Missionary Centenary of the Methodist Episcopal Church," which is working up a scheme to get Southern colored people to plant cotton in "God's Acreage" and contribute the money to the missionary fund of $120,000,000 which it is planned to raise. THE APPEAL does not believe that the colored people should give one penny to aid the Methodist Episcopal Church until it reverses its present jimcrow policy. The Methodist Episcopal Church split into two branches over the question of slavery, but now the Northern and Southern branches are to come together again at the centenary. The weak-kneed Northern men have given in to the aggressive Southerners and have agreed to sacrifice their colored members who have been asked to form a jim crow church. So far the colored members have refused to get out, but they may perhaps be kicked out. The Methodist Episcopal Church has given up all ideas of the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man," and at the centenary it is very likely that the brethren will recount the wonderful thing the church has done for "the negro" and all will join in singing "Onward, Christian Soldier." QUIZ ON OFFICERS' "JIM CROW." The colored officers of the 365th infantry regiment, the majority of whom are national army men from Illinois, are very indignant because they were My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man; the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own; and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. SAME OLD STUFF That colored officers of the 365th Infantry, 131 Sanitary Train, 367th Infantry and 350th F.

M. C. A. secretaries and field clerks were seated in the main dining room with passengers. The colored officers were assigned for fair play in letters to General Charles Gearhardt resulted in his dodging the issue by saying the colored officers got the same service as was given in the main dining room. The colored officers are aggravated by the fact that mental flag and colors of the 365th Infantry were lost. The colored officers say this is the result of negligence and lack of regard for their flag. Colored Captain in Tears. With tears rolling down his cheeks, a colored captain said if the regiment paraded it, it would march without its colors. "These colors, which were paid for by the pennies of little colored children in Chicago and formally presented to the regiment at the Colseum, came away from us after hostilities ended, he said. "Every colored officer and enlisted man in this regiment—and many of them have been cited for bravery—burns with indignation because of this added insult." Scores of enlisted men verified the statement made by the captain. segregated from the whites during the journey from Brest to New York on the White Star steamer Olympic. One Chicago colored officer, a graduate of two universities, who was a cabin passenger aboard the Olympic, said his fellow officers were as happy as larks until they learned, after boarding the vessel that they were to be separated from the white officers in the dining saloon. He said: "We ate in the side dining-room, first class, while the others ate in the main dining-room. We sent a letter to Brig. Gen. Charles Erhardt requesting an investigation and an explanation. He answered that there was no attempt to segregate us, but that we were fed in different sections because of the large number aboard. "There was no segregation on the battlefields of Europe. We all fought together as Americans through and through, all intent on bringing victory to the American arms and peace to the entire world." Every colored officer and man aboard the Olympic declared today that just as soon as they reached their homes they intended to institute an investigation to determine who was responsible for the slight toward the colored officers aboard the Olympic. According to William Jennings Bryan, federal control of the railroads doesn't work because there are still some railroad men connected with it. We suppose that the theater will attain its highest state of efficiency just as soon as all the actors are removed and that the churches will reach the pinnacle of success in removing evil from the world when the preachers have all been taken away. Better stick to grape juice and woman suffrage. William! JOBS IN U. 8. 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 reinstated in his former position, but anywhere in the civil service, provided that at the time of reinstatement he has the required fitness to BILL BRYAN BOBS UP AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY? No, An Absolute Democracy! But Wilson Reigns! (From the Cincinnati Union.) **From the Cincinnati Onion.** There are more ways of killing a dog. There are more ways of cratic administration, so anxious to make the world safe for democracy, has shown a sublime disregard for the rights and safety of colored American citizens at home. It now seems to feel that, by refusing passports to representatives of those who complain about the conditions we see that Europe will not know of the foul canker that gnaws the very vitals of our government! 'Tis another case of the ostrich sticking it head in the sand and feeling that its body is hid.

A long list of occupational opportunities for employment in federal public works is contained in the bulletin. Application should be filed directly with the labor board at all government plants. WISE SPENDING. Are you a wise spender? Wise spending is regarded as a highly important preliminary to thrift by the U. S. Treasury. As part of its campaign for promoting popular savings through Thrift and War Savings Stamps during 1919, it has issued through its Savings Division the following definition of wise spending, which merits the thoughtful attention of every family and every individual who would get ahead in life: Wise spending implies the balancing of all needs and of all means of meeting these needs and, after balancing needs against means, spending in such a way as to meet the most urgent needs, even if lesser ones have to be left unsatisfied; in essence it means a sort of budget-making. When a family, city or state makes a budget, what it does essentially is to take a comprehensive view of both needs and income. It is important that not all the income be spent on the first needs that may occur lest other more urgent needs appear and no funds be left to meet them; that is, thought must be taken so that available income can be applied intelligently and wisely to cover most important needs and to satisfy them somewhat in proportion to their relative importance. "Perhaps the most important and difficult problem in connection with wise spending (or saving) is to realize the relative importance of future as compared with present needs. The temptation of all of us is to satisfy present needs at the neglect of future needs. It is very foolish to neglect the urgent necessities of today for the petty wants of the morrow, but few need very much persuasion to induce them to take care of the present. Where most of us are foolish or unwise is in satisfying petty wants of the present rather than saving in order that urgent needs of the future can be met." GEORGE WASHINGTON THRIFTO GRAMS. The 187th anniversary of George Washington's birthday was celebrated Feb. 22. Washington, the successful builder of a nation, gave voice to rules for personal and national success which are as applicable in this 1919 year of necessary thrift as in his day. Here are some of his words on the use of money and resources that might have been written for the present situation in America: I cannot enjoin too strongly upon you for a due observance of economy and frugality. There is no proverb in the whole catalogue of them more true than a penny saved is a penny got. Keep an account book and enter therein every farthing of your receipts and expenditures. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry, and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy nation. These statements by George Washington as to wise personal economy might be paraphrased today in the injunction of the National Thrift Campaign—spend wisely, save intelligently, avoid waste—and invest safely; buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. Protest on Segregation The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, John R. Shillady of New York, makes public a letter to Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, protesting against a memorial command of BrigadierGeneral Nicholas J. 14, at Camp Upton to the Commanding Officer of various colored units now at that camp, directing the commanding officers to instruct their men and their families not to use any Hostess House in the camp except the one set aside for colored soldiers at Second Army. The Association entered its protest and its request for action by the War Department for two reasons which it sets forth. First, because the one house provided for colored troops is totally inadequate to serve all of the colored troops at the camp at this time. Second, because that the entire 92nd Division is either in America or on its way here, together with other colored units. Second, the Association declares that a more inopportune time to issue such an order could hardly have been chosen, in view of the fact that these same men who are barred from the French market have who have just returned from France where they fought for democracy, many of them being wounded and pant of the "Jim Crow" coaches during times of peace. The pity of the whole despicable business is that our country is not great enough to live up to its own constitution, not noble enough to follow Christianity! It barely meets its own Christianity! It barely meets its own citizenship to scorn, contempt and humiliation. The burden of this petty passport problem need not be placed on the shoulders of France, for that glorious countryside of France, enough to honor and protect its citizens, regardless of race, regardless of color. The tint of the skin, the curl of the hair, has never been the humiliation in La Belle France; and the humiliation in La Belle France, gloriously did her sable sons need her support. The day will come when America on bended knee will cry for help. Will there still remain forgiving sons to come to her aid, and will all the have been brutally done to death by the mob, the tree the torch? many of them having seen their comrades killed, and that such an order is not only an insult but a repudiation of the principle of democracy for which they fought. The Association asks that Secretary Baker, as head of the War Department, take action immediately to correct this mistake. JIM CROW DAY IN BOSTON (From the Boston Guardian) Tom the Boston Guardian.) Monday, February 24, was a typical Jim Crow in Boston, and it seems to have been given the time was given over to welcoming the returning president. In the evening there was a meeting held to honor colored soldiers. The two occasions at the the alternatives of the Jim Crow disbandment and distinct but equal" or the Jim Crow disbandment of "Up to the big house and down to the big gate." The impressions of the events are significant. There are strong and variant views on the race question and the rights of man. But on this occasion Boston behaved herself proud. There was no heckling of the president. There was dignified and orderly. But he left Boston still in possession of her views. There was no rough-necking down at the big gate. Mr. Scott and Mr. Motton were received with respectful touch. They left Boston with no greater dispositions than man rights or to barter with brothers and Jim Crow propagandists. Three-fourths of the audience were white. Doubtless they are friends of the race. Their presence points to their racial circumstance. The meeting of the tribes of a settlement house—a charitable institution. Many white people are willing to assign a restricted mendicant status to the best the colored man can produce. The brainy colored man does not accept the principle of ward or warden any more than the principle of man and master. They are allies and are opposed to self-determination. Boston passed the incident coolly but respectfully. The results so far all objectives go were a boomerang. To sum up Jim Crow day in Boston was a black frost. "With a Smile." (From the St. Paul Daily News.) "We are all decorated. Some with the hair. Some with the face." But the smiles. Those boys were glad to get back. That's what made them smile. Are they going to stay glad? That's up to the American public. American colored men have never had a square deal. Knowing this, the Germans imagined they could stir trouble among our Southern colored men. They guessed wrong. Not only on the firing line, but also on the mean, tedious, hard work of the S. O. S. the colored soldier came through with fying colors, and did his job well and gladly. Talking about Americanism it would be less than right if we did not manage to iron out "Jim Crow" regulations which the colored men naturally detest. William Monroe Trotter Reconse crates Himself. (From the Boston Guardian) (from the Bolson Guardian). we have to fight for the imminent reign of justice and law in the treatment of 12,000,000 of our own colored fellow citizens, not on the banks of the Rhine, but on the banks of the Mississippi; not in Africa, but in Georgia. We must not be on the man or man to win in this fight, but we know as Charles Summer once said: "Justice reigns aloft on the throne of God and not below with the multitude. We turn from faint and leaderless to cheer ourselves with the thought, "The Lord God omnipotent reigneth." Porto Rico Will Demand Statehood or Freedom. San Juan, Porto Rico, March 5.—After a debate of more than two days in both houses of the insular legislature, the Unionists and Republicans today agreed to join forces in insisting that the American congress make known what the future of Porto Rico was; the agreement was agreed that if there can be no assurance that it is possible, the parties should work for independence. The people of Porto Rico are not satisfied with color line which has been forced upon them. Mrs. Wilson to Be Given Portrait of Pocahontas.

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 he mobilized colored soldiers. He made a point visit, and especially 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 very little space to mention soldiers, except publishing some humorous, amorous, and always using the alleged Southern dialect, gave 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 like other colored soldier, also gave Dr. Moton's address to the colored soldiers a prominent space, and particularly noted ADDRESS TO THE COUR ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL CO MOCRACY UNDER THE AUSPIR RIGHTS LEAGUE AT WASH Colored America, through delega States of America, sore and bleeding color, hails with hope peace with vi the armies of the victors was "Away Sighting at 10:00 A.M."

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."

This advice given by Dr. Moton appeared to inquire about the newsapers published in Paris, and that 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 were sent to the United States, is to impress upon them they should be "modest and unassuming" on their return, and to accept quietly, and uncomplainingly whatever discrimination and segregation on their resumes on them in the States on their return, and to be taught for months for world democracy. Moton was accompanied on his trip to the camps by Thomas Jesse 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.

One Lillian Mahan, of Minneapolis, has been "working" St. Paul as so many others have done, but unlike some of the others, was brought to grief. She had been collecting money for Crispus Attacks Home without authority. Among a number of places, one call was on Mrs. M. Love, at her Beauty Parlor, 310 Rondo street, who believing she was doing a charitable act, gave a donation; but her suspicions were aroused by the call of Detective J. C. Black and he at once got busy and caught her just as she was boarding a car for Minneapolis, and took her to Central station, where she was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, but was released on $15 bail. Her case was called in the municipal court last Tuesday morning. Attorney J. Louis Ervin was employed by the managers of the Home to prosecute the case, but it was postponed to Thursday morning. When the case was tried, a number of witnesses appeared. The Home and victimized. She was adjudged guilty and was fined $15, which she paid. Lawyer Ervin, although he had spent a portion of three days on the case, donated his services. The Board of Managers of the Home is making special efforts to catch any and everyone falsely representing the Home and intends to prosecute them to the extent of the law. As the Home work institution, these impositions on the public and the Home ought to be stopped. CITIZENS OF ST. PAUL HONOR FIRST LIEUTENANT SAMUEL L RAMSOM. By Tendering Him a Grand Public Reception at Union Hall Last Tuesday Evening, Such as was Never Surpassed. The people of the Twin Cities are loyal, filled with race and civic pride, etc. If anyone had any doubts on those points they were dispelled by their actions in regard to First Lieutenant Samuel L. Ransom, our fellow townman, in tendering him the unsurpassed reception at Union Hall last Tuesday night. When it was learned that Ransom had returned from "over there," a few of the good citizens met and hurriedly formed a committee to take charge of welcoming him home. The committee was composed as follows: W. T. Francis, chairman; A. V. Hall, secretary; J. Q. Adams, F. B. Simpson, S. E. Hall, O. D. Howard, H. J. Sherwood, J. W. Kelly, R. L. Stokes, D. H. Smith, C. H. Miller, John La Coste, H. G. Johnson, V. D. Turner, M. L. Barksdale, B. C. Archer, S. L. Maxwell, Sid Cuthbert, Hammond Turner, M. Bolling, J. E. Murphy, R. M. Johnson, G. W. Wills, J. W. Walton, C. E. Charleston, C. W. Wingington, R. H. Cotton. The committee at once went to work and, though its members had but two days, which to work, the result was amazing. The Hall was packed to capacity, and many could not get in. The hall was beautifully decorated with the national colors, palms, etc. The order of exercises was as follows: Atty. W. T. Francis, chairman of committee presiding. Community singing of "America," "Pack Up Your Troubles," "Smiles," led by Mr. C. H. Miller. Then the chairman intro- LIEUT. S. L. RANSOM. duced Lieutenant A. C. Parker, who had been with the guest of honor over seas, who made a few remarks. He was followed by the Address of Welcome by Rev. A. H. Lealtad. The audience sang, "The Long, Long Trail" that may be of Minneapolis read may delightfully the following poem by A. V. Hall. From the shriek of the shell, From the turmoil of hell. Welcome home, friend o'mine, welcome home. From the sight of dead comrades, dark faces uplured. From a fair country, ravished and pillowed. From the Huns' "Kamrad" cry, From the Huns' treacherous lie, Welcome home, friend o'mine, welcome home. From the trench rat and cootie and wildewils. From the cateau and vineyard whose ruins best tell Of what that was there, And the steel in the air. Welcome home, friend o'mine, welcome home. To a pal's hearty grips, To a pal's hearty grips, Welcome home, friend o'mine, Welcome home, friend o'mine Mr. A. V. Hall, the author of the poem, was called to the front and received an ovation. This was followed by a song, "God Did Take Care of You." The chairman then introduced "one of the 'Black Devils', that gave the Huns Hell." Lieut. Samuel L. Ransom, who, after the applause had ceased, told the story of his doings from the time he left St. Paul until his return. It was very interesting and inspiring and was loudly applauded. As a finale the audience sang "The Marselles." At the close of the exercises some time was spent in shaking hands with, congratulating and welcoming Lieut. Ransom home. Dancing then began to the charming music of Moore's Jazz Orchestra, Minneapolis. The grand march was led by Lieut. Ransom and Miss Mayme Goins. During the grand march paper ribbon streamers were liberally thrown and entwined, about the marchers. When five other numbers had been danced a novel surprise innovation was sprung. A passage way was formed with two long ropes. Lieut. Ransom was invited to the front, but being a little slow in responding, he was grabbed by members of the committee and literally hauled to the platform. He was all flustered, more so than he was when a Hun shell covered him with dirt, all but his head, as he lay in a dug out in "No Man's Land." And when Prof. Stevens Jazz orchestra struck up "Here Comes the Bride," he prepared for the worst. The bridal party was composed of the bride, B. C. Archer, camouflaged into a blushing dam-sel leaned on the arm of her father, J. E. Murphy. The ring bearers M. A. Bolling and Mrs. J. H. Goins, bearing a large decorated hoghead hoop, followed. Then the bridal attendants, H. G. Johnson and Mrs. Ida Murphy, H. G. Johnson and Mrs. Miss Charlotte Gillard, Clarence Thompson and Mrs. Gladys Brown. Arriving at the altar Rev. (?) Chas, H. Miller pronounced his unique and comical ceremony, the "ring" was adjusted around the newly-weds and as the parson said, "you will now salute the bride," all the lights went out, leaving the hall in pitch darkness. What the groom and bride did will never be known but the people yelled so that the lights were again turned on, and the hilarity continued for quite a while. Dancing was again resumed and six numbers were danced and the people reluctantly repaired to their homes, thus passed into the history one of the most enjoyable entertainments ever witnessed in St. Paul. The members of the Committee of Arrangements are requested to meet at the office of Atty. W. T. Francis, 329 Metropolitan Bank Bldg., Thursday evening, March 13th, at 7:30 o'clock. The sub-financial committee of the general committee of the Ransom Reception makes the following report: Total amount received .....$159.00 Total disbursements ..... 110.70 Balance on hand ..... $48.30 M. A. Bolling, John M. La Coste, Hammond Turner, Financial Committee.
