The Appeal

If you have ought that's fit to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it well. Soldiers Slack in Discipline and Show Familiarity Toward Officers. OLD ARMY HAS DISAPPEARED About 70,000 Men Commanded by Hindenburg About All That Remains of Great Host—Revolution Changes German Troops. Berlin.—Under the new republic the departments of the army and navy are no more, in name at least. The republic's name for them is defense, and they are placed under charge of Gustav Noske, much trusted by the government for his prompt action in emergencies, and much hated by the Spartacans for his relentless opposition when disorders break out. Noske's appointment as head of the navy, as well as the army, was regarded none too seriously, by Noske himself, at least. When asked by a newspaper man what he expected to do about the naval affairs of Germany in the future, Noske laughed and replied: "Why worry about naval affairs, when we haven't any navy?" There are still sailors in big numbers in Germany, however, and they have been a problem. During the revolution the sailors played an important part in most of them developed such a liking to Berlin and the other big cities that they have refused to leave for Kiel or any of the harbors. Now the sailors are used in the guard regiments all over Germany, along with soldiers. Big Army Disappears. The German army is in process of reorganisation. Immediately after the armistice the army almost disappeared as an organized unit, and though there were millions of men in uniform scattered all over the land, none was responsible to anyone, and officers were not safe in uniform. In localities the soldiers joined "Red guard" groups, and some served and others misused their privileges. Thus the army as it was known in the old days practically vanished, except for a few divisions under Hindenburg, camped behind the Rhine, and the troops along the Polish border. Now the only army of the field that Germany has is in the east to guard against the Poles. It is commanded by Hindenburg and is supposed to be not more than 60,000 or 70,000 men, if it numbers that many. However, government troops are scattered over the country in every big city and in industrial centers to guard against disorders. The big problem is keeping these troops faithful and satisfied, when Spartacan propaganda and money is at large. Under Noske and the minister of war, Colonel Reinhold, the morale and discipline of the government troops have improved tremendously until a great part of the former efficiency is restored. Depends on Peace Terms. Germany's army is in a transitory state. What it will become depends upon the peace terms, the Germans recognize. But there has evidently been a change in idea in the government. Early in the revolution Ebert declared himself against a conscripted army, and Noske and Reinhard were appointed to organize volunteer forces, serving for short periods, to defend the new government. As a matter of fact the troops used for interior defense are all volunteers, mostly young men, serving for three or six months at good pay. The policy of the new republic will be against conscription in theory, declares President Ebert, but there is not much hope of putting the theory into effect, for it is pointed out that Germany will not abolish conscription unless the neighboring nations do. Since the Germans do not expect their neighbors to depend on volunteers, plans are being worked out for a new conscription army, serving shorter periods and modeled more after the Swiss than the old Prussian army. The Martin idea is popular, but is considered idealistic. The German army of interior defense, which probably numbers around a hundred thousand men, or possibly a few thousand more, is an expensive proposition. Volunteers have to be paid well to keep them from being won over by the Spartacans, who offer more money. Food and equipment is good. The new army has a rather slack discipline, and none of the old Prussian snap is seen when officers appear. Familiarity and almost insolence are seen on every hand. The German trooper has changed a lot with the revolution, and if appearances are at all indicative, the government forces in Germany today are not to be feared outside Germany. Milk Can Causea Death. Lawton, Okla.—W. S. Mantooth, twenty-two, a well-known young farmer near here, was instantly killed when a milk can several boys were using as a bolder exploded. Some boys were using the milk can as the bolder of an improvised engine, and Mr. Mantooth stopped to warn them that they had too much steam up. Just then the bolder go. The big can, weighing thirty pounds, hilt between the eyes. ALIENS OUIT COUNTRY Are Leaving for Europe at Rate of 1,000 a Day. Custom Officials Fear Exodus Will Result in Great Labor Shortage. New York.-Enriched by war work, allens are leaving this country at the rate of more than 1,000 a day, it was learned here from custom officials, who expressed fear that, with the possibility that congress may limit immigration for the next four years, the United States will face a serious labor shortage, instead of a condition of unemployment. Since the signing of the armistice, it was said, Itallans, Greeks, Spaniards and Portuguese have been poured out of the United States through this port. Since November 76,221 passports have been vised at the custom house, and since December, 33,000 allens have sailed. Every ship clearing for Mediterranean ports has sailed its steerage, so that rates have jumped from $40 to $80. Custom officials estimate that an enormous sum has been taken out of the country since the exodus began. Each alien, it is said, carries with him from $1,000 to $7,000 to enable him to live in his native land in greater ease than he ever enjoyed before. Since April 2, when all outgoing passengers were forced to pay their income taxes before leaving, more than $68,000 has been collected. Byron R. Newton, collector of the port, who has been asked by members of the United States senate and house immigration committee to reduce the exodus to statistics, said today more than 90 per cent of the aliens are Italians, and that "something ought to be done to check the outflow." TIPS PUZZLE FOR RICH GIRLS Canteen Workers Don't Know What to Do When Officers Slip Them Quarters. New York—Young women of rich families who serve the officers' canteen at the Pershing club of the war camp community service, Fort-fourth street and Madison avenue, are perplexed as to what to do with the tips sometimes left by officers. How to act when an ensign or lieutenant hands one a quarter is a puzzle that has put wrinkles on the brows of several of the junior league members who wait on the tables. They do not wish to humiliate an officer by refusing his well meant gift, but of course it is impossible to accept it. Many of the young women have fathers who could buy at least one battleship plaque. The trouble reached its climax recently. An embarrassed ensigned left the canteen after presenting two thin dimes to the daughter of a steel king. Puzzled at her manner, he sought information from the woman in charge. "I tipped that swell looking waitress 20 cents and she seemed put out," said she got all fushed. Wasn't it enough? "Not enough to buy her poor dog a bone," was the answer. "She drives her own car and has an income about equal to the president's pay. She's a volunteer worker." Light dawned on the boyish naval man and he streaked for the door, muttering something about never tipping another waitress. WANT SOLDIERS TO PAY BACK War Risk Bureau Not Relieved From Pressing Claims on Overpayments. Washington.—The war risk insurance bureau is not relieved from seeking reimbursement in cases of overpayment of allotments to soldiers, sailors and their dependents, the bureau announced. In a statement the bureau says that under a recent interpretation of the act of congress approved last February 25 and known as the Treadwact act, it must continue to demand reimbursement in cases of overpayment in duplicate case payments continued beyond the date of a man's discharge from service, death, desertion or overpayments due to change of status of the allotte. All such cases, it is stated, do not come within the provisions of the Treadwact act. Less Than 4,000 Yanks Lost Arms or Legs. Washington, D. C.—Nearly 4,000 officers and enlisted men in the American expeditionary forces lost arms or legs in the war with Germany, according to statistics furnished by the bureau of war risk insurance, which is now interested in bringing about changes in the law fixing compensation for maimed soldiers, sallors, and marines. Values Wife at $50. Wheeling. W. Va.—"She's worth $50 and Til pay it if you can find her and send her back to me," said John F. Malone, an ironton (O.) farmer, who called at police headquarters here the other day and asked the police to locate the whereabouts of his wife, who left him a year ago. Malone is sixty-five years old, while his wife is but twenty-eight. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, MAY 3. 1919 Minnesota Historical Society BELL RULER IN REAL GRAUSTARK American General Is Only Constituted Authority in Luxemburg. LIKE BIT OF FAIRY TALE Yankee Division Living Amid Kaleidoscope of International Spies, Revolutionists, Conspirators and Beautiful Princesses. By CAPT. ROBERT J. CASEY, in the Chicago Journal. Gosseldange, 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 vigilance 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, gullible 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 he 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 guldon's mule into hysteresis. The battery was called to attention and salutes were exchanged before it was realized that the beautiful Marie Adelade, grand duchess of Luxembourg and royal princess by her own right, had just passed. Not knowing anything about local politics we couldn't guess that something had gone from the battlefield to the 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 idol 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. According to this story, the grimm's fairy tale 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 sasquon. 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 Mislformed. But, alas for the proper climax of the story, the beautiful Adelade had been misinformed. They did dare to put herself. 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 preserved as a model 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. This country is a piece of a fairy tale 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. 125 MEN MADE BLIND Yankee Soldiers Lose Sight in Battles in Europe. No Cases on Record in Whloh Soldiers Lost Both Arms and Both Legs. Washington.—There were but 125 cases of total blindness and fewer than 4,000 amputations in the American forces engaged in the war, it is stated by the bureau of war risk insurance in an announcement concerning the bureau's activity in supplying crippled soldiers and sailors with artificial limbs and in otherwise caring for the wounded and disabled. Not even all of the 125 cases of total blindness cited, it is stated, have yet been declared as permanent by the medical officers in charge. Relative to amputations, denial is made, on the authority of general Ireland and Col. Charles O. Baskin, chief officer of the war risk insurance, that there were any cases in which men lost both arms and both legs. There have been more than 500 artificial limbs furnished to disabled men to date by the bureau under the provisions of the act of congress. "Upon being discharged from war department hospitals as unfit for further service, all men disabled as a result of injury or disease suffered in line of duty, are entitled to the benefits of the war risk insurance act," the statement says. "If their condition demands further treatment they are entitled to medical attention in one of a large number of hospitals now being established throughout the country, to be operated by the public health service." "If a man is disabled, but his condition needs no further medical attention, he may secure from the bureau of war risk insurance a monthly compensation." "Medical experts of the bureau make examinations of all who apply for compensation and rate their physical condition present and potential and determine the percentage of handicap which each suffers as a wage earner or worker. The compensation given is carefully considered in fixing the compensation, which will be paid monthly to the man and his dependents." BUILD MANY NEW VESSELS Four Million Tons of Steel Ships Expected to Be Completed This Year. Washington.-Steel ships built in American yards this year are expected to total at least 4,000,000 tons. The output, according to shipping board officials, will exceed by 700,000 tons the combined construction of both steel and wood bottoms last year, and is expected to make good Chairman Hurley's prediction of a steel merchant marine under the United States flag, comparing favorably with the best merchant vessels afford, and capable of competing with the merchant navies of all nations. The great production in steel tonnage this year will be the result of the tremendous preparations started under the impetus of war. Making ready for the possibility of a prolongation of hostilities, the shipping board developed building ways by the threat to offset the destruction by submarines. Many new ships were turned out, but the new yards were unable to demonstrate their capabilities immediately. As the work has been organized and experience gained, the output has grown steadily with the full results becoming apparent only just now. YANKS LIKE HUN POLICE LIDS folders Rush German Policemen When They Were Helped by Helmets Paris—When German officials in the cities occupied by the Americans issued orders for policemen to don their prewar uniforms they didn't realize what an attraction boche helmets have for Yankees. German policemen were rushed all along the Rhine by Americans who couldn't resist the temptation to capture helmets from the heads of live Germans. As a consequence of the onslaughts made upon the policemen, the officers afflicted German officials to discontinue the use of helmets. Ordinary caps are far less attractive than helmets as targets for snowballs and peaceful German policemen are now able to walk their beats in safety and quiet. LIMIT THEM TO ONE WIFE British Columbia Government to Permit Hindus to Bring Over Their Families Vancouver, B.C.—British Columbia's Hindu population will be increased through the passage in parliament of an order in council permitting Hindu residents of this province to bring members of their families into Canada. The order limits each to "one wife and their lawful offspring." Polygamy will not be tolerated, one provision being that certificates must be obtained proving that the immigrants are "lawful wives or children of such Indiana." The principle of reciprocity and appreciation of India's war sacrifices were determining factors in the passage of the order at Ottawa, it is stated. Defective Page 2,000 MURDERED BY BOLSHEVIKI U. S. Red Cross Agents Tell of Reds' Atrocious In Siberia. DIG OWN PITS; BURIED ALIVE Murders Were Without Prosecution and the Victims Were Largely of Thrify or Intelligent Classes or Servants of Church. Omsk—Indisputable evidence of the massacre by the bolshevik of more than 2,000 civilians in and near the town of Osa has been obtained by Messrs. Simmonds and Emerson and Dr. Rudolph Teusier of the American Red Cross, who have just returned from Perm, Osa and other re-occupied Russian territory. Approximately 500 persons were killed at Osa and 1,500 in the surrounding districts. Osa, which had a population of 10,000, was so denuded of males by the bolshevik that General Casagrande, upon the occupation of the town, was obliged to telegraph to Ekaterinburg for men to administer civic affairs. Dogs Dig Up Bodies. In addition to securing verbal and documentary evidence the American Red Cross officials witnessed the exhuming of scores of victims from trenches, where they were buried sometimes several deep in graves revealed by the digging of dogs. The murders were without provocation, and the victims were largely of the thrifty and intelligent classes or servants of the church, which latter it was the announced intention of the bolshevik to exterminate. The evidence discloses almost unthinkable atrocities. A blacksmith, by economies, had attained a shop. He was required to pay 5,000 rubles; because he could not, he was shot. A man was shot because he lived in a brick house. All attorneys and jurists were killed, and doctors, whose services were not required for the moment, were disposed of in a similar manner. A woman whose husband and two sons had been seized applied to the commissar for information as to their fate. She was told they had been taken to Perm. After repeating her visit several times she was informed that if she bothered the commissar again she would be shot, as they had been. The body of a woman was exhumed and identified in the presence of the Americans as the wife of a general through jewels sewed in the lining of her clothing, of which relatives were aware. Another woman was compelled to fetch a lamp and gaze upon her murdered sons for the amusement of the slayers. A wife required to pay 1,000 rubies for the release of her husband borrowed 800 and paid it over; later she returned with the remainder, and then was informed that her husband had been shot. There were scores of similar cases. All were killed without any form of trial. Victima Dig Own Graves. The soviet called a meeting and prepared lists of those to die. The houses proscribed were visited by squads, the doors were smashed in, and the victims dragged to the edge of the town and forced to dig their own graves. Those who resisted were shot in the streets. A survivor testified that he had seen men thrown into a pit and buried alive. This testimony has been confirmed by bodies exhumed, the clenched hands of which were clinging to the mud at the bottom of the pit. The only spark of humanity discoverable was that in confiscating the belongings of the residents. In some instances, the presence was a family of small children, the family was permitted to retain one cow out of several. Occasionally a peasant was allowed to keep his worst horse. The bolshevist attitude toward the church was uncompromising. Priests were hunted unmercifully. The evidence showed that men were slain whose only offense was that they worked as sextons or caretakers of churches. CUPID BUSY DURING WAR Six Thousand French Women Were Woood and Won by Yanka in One Year. Paris, France—That Cupid was nearly as busy as Mars with the members of the American expeditionary force and that romance bloomed in France in spite of war's alarms is shown by the fact that more than 6,000 French women have been wooed and won by American soldiers within one year. The majority of the French girls who have become Americans through marrying American officers and men are stenographers, salesgirls, teachers and a sprinkling of peasant girls and those of the middle class or bourgeoisie. The romances are in most cases very similar. Scrambled Horses Faribault, Minn.—When a runaway team crashed into a two-wheeled cart driven by Martin Hahn, twelve, the laden land on top of his father's buggy just ahead. His horse smashed dad's buggy, one runaway smashed the cart and the runaway buggy run over the third animal. In business, fortunes are not realised Unless your goods are amply advertised. HUN HIDES 4 YEARS Conceals Self in New Guinea Jungle During War. German Army Captain Risks Death Among Cannibals Until Armistice Is Signed. Konrad Detzler, a German army engineer who had been hiding in the New Guinea jungle since the beginning of the war, has come back to civilization and now is in an internment camp in Australia. Detzler's story is on a par with other romantic incidents of the war as it affected the South sea. Detzler holds a captain's commission. When the war began he was surveying the boundary line between the then Kaiser Wilhelmland, or German New Guinea, and Papua, or British New Guinea. He decamped into the bush. This was a risky act, for the bushman prefer human flesh above all other kinds. When an Australian force occupied Kaiser Wilhelmland Detzler was overlooked. For more than four years Detzler lived in the bush near Mismis. He had a shotgun, but it was not long before he ran out of cartridges. Thereafter he lived on yams, taro and kau (a variety of sweet potato) in common with the natives, and upon birds and animals which he caught by means of snare. Several times the Australians searched for him, but Detzler managed to elude them. He might have stayed indefinitely in the jungle, but missionaries told the Papans of the armistice and they in turn told him. Thereupon he surrendered to the nearest Australian officer. While living throughout the war at Mismis, Detzler wore only a white shirt, and he is that he is almost as brown as a Papuan. He now wears a German uniform. HOW DEPTH BOMB STARTED British Admiral Responsible for Weapon that Revolutionized Anti-submarine Warfare. New York.—How the submarine depth bomb, familiarly referred to as "ash can," came into being to revolutionize antisubmarine warfare was related here by Rear Admiral William S. Sims, commander during the war of the American naval forces overseas. Rear Admiral Sir Charles Edward Madden, chief of staff to Admiral Jellicoe, was the author of the idea, Admiral Sims said, giving as his authority Admiral Jellicoe. The idea came to Admiral Madden, he continued, while the British officer was aboard a cruiser which sighted a submarine. The cruiser gave chase, be said, but as it drew near the submarine submerged. Admiral Madden, charned at the cruiser's failure to "get" the submarine, exclaimed: "Why wouldn't it be a good idea to work up some sort of a device to drop on these Huns?" Other officers approving the plan, the cruiser put back to port, where the idea was presented to Admiral Jellicoe. He approved the plan, and munition experts were put to work devising the "ash can." The depth bombs evolved contained 800 pounds of trinitrotoluol and were capable of wrecking a submarine. SPOIL O. HENRY'S SKETCHES Texas Workmen Tear Down Build ing Where the Author Was Employed. Austin, Tex—Sketches on the walls of the old land office building on the capitol grounds, drawn by O. Henry the author, while he was a clerk in the statehouse here, are being destroyed. Workmen are tearing down the building. O. Henry, in his adolescence, published a little weekly, The Rolling Stone, worked in the land office as a clerk, and worked prodigiously on the walls of the house, were to entertain an army of readers. His real name was Sidney Porter, and he was then unknown to fame. No one seems to remember whether he was a good clerk, and those who have seen the sketches say that as an artist he was a good story teller. Kaiser's Youngest Son Hopes to Live in U. S. Geneva.—The former Prince Joachim of the Hohenzollern family hopes to emigrate to America after peace is signed, according to report. Joachim, who is the youngest son of the former German emperor, has arrived here from Berlin, and expresses his intention of remaining in Switzerland until after the peace settlement. The Hohenzollerns have just bought a large estate near Lugano, where the former emperor eventually hopes to reside in exile. Waited Forty Years for Son's Return. Berwick, Pa. — When Lawrence Boyd left here for Sequit, Wash., in 1879, his mother expressed the hope that she would live to see him return. Although she had to live to be eight-six years old, she has enjoyed the fulfillment of her wish; the son returned a few days ago on his first visit in forty years. $2.00 PER YEAR WAR INVENTIONS COMING TO LIGHT Many Interesting Achievements Are Now Being Made Public. System of Sending and Receiving Wireless Telephone Messages at Same Time and a Barrage Receiver Among Novelties. New York—As the seal placed upon the activities of America's inventors by the war is broken, news of many interesting achievements unknown to the public during the conflict are being brought to light. A system of sending and receiving wireless telephone messages at the same time, as is done in wire lines; a "barrage receiver," which shuts out the sound of all wireless vibration except those which the operator wishes to hear, and a system of rapid and accurate photography of wireless message became known to the public for the first time recently, although government naval stations have been experimenting with them for some time. Engineers of the General Electric company at Scheenectady are responsible for each of the inventions. Ernst F. W. Alexanderson, consulting engineer of the company, told of the development of the barrage receiver and wireless telephony ideas at a meeting of the Institute of Radio Engineers at 29 West Thirty-ninth street recently. A. Hoxie of Scheenectady, another General Electric company engineer, is the inventor of the wireless photographic apparatus. Sending and Receiving. Doctor Alexanderson told the engineers that obviously some system of simultaneous sending and receiving would have to be invented before wireless telephony would ever become commercially practicable. Switching from one apparatus to another to send and receive would be annoying and delaying. For instance, the user of the telephone on this side of the Atlantic says: "Hello" into the mouthpiece. Then he has to switch to another apparatus to catch the answer from Europe. And perhaps his friend overseas is doing the conversation and the contact conversation develops into a sort of hide-and-seek game. There was also the problem of bringing the wireless telephone to the home of the user. If one has to travel to Washington or New Brunswick to use the wireless telephone it is scarcely a saver of time or money. Doctor Alexanderson has devised a system of separate sending and receiving antennae, the sending and receiving stations interconnected by a wire line and further connected to the exchange of the local telephone system, so that all Mrs. Jones has to do when she wants to find out what Mr. Jones wants to do to go to her telephone and ask, not for toll operator, but for the wireless operator, he will connect her with Mr. Jones. The Barrage Receiver. The invention of the barrage receiver came about as a result of the confusion into which the wireless machinery was thrown during the war. Through her powerful stations at Nansen and elsewhere Germany was malicious flooding the atmosphere with wireless "noise" so that communications between France and England and America became very difficult. Germany was completely drowned out the voice of America's allies. The interalled conference of the military was the difficulty, and appeals for a solution were brought to Doctor Alexanderson by Lleutenant Paternot of the French mission in this country. The solution, which was adopted by the French and American governments after its first demonstration was called the "barrage receiver," because the word "barrage" has the original meaning of stoppage prevention. The barrage receiver successfully shut the vibrations sent out from Germany with the object of destroying the allied intercommunication. Its principle can be compared to that of an instrument which, if applied to the ear, would silence the shrieking of a steam whistle ten yards away. The barrage receiver was perfectly spoken word a hundred yards off. Aside from its wartime use the barrage receiver has extensive possibilities for peacetime development. Through its use the number of communications that may be carried on without disturbing each other may be multiplied greatly. 'TWAS A COURTSHIP BY WIRE Delaware Operatora Even Made Arrangements for the Wedding by Telegraph. Ellendale, Del.-Love over the wire resulted in the marriage of Miss Dena Veasey, telegraph operator at Ellendale, and Edward Rust, operator at Redden. The two were but seven miles apart on the wire, and each, seeking a greater proficiency, practiced sending messages to the other in leisure moments. During all their courtship the two sent their messages back and forth over the wire, and finally when the wire was to slip away to Wilmington to be married the arrangements were made by wire. J. Q.

SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1919. THE VICTORY LIBERTY-LOAN. The steam whistles in the Twin Cities at 9:00 o'clock Thursday night, with the loud acclaim told the people of the Fifth district that they had gone over the top with their subscriptions to Fifth or Victory Liberty Loan and knocked the "if" out of the Fifth, and thus showing that we finished the job over here that they began over there. "AMERICANIZATION." Since the war there has been a lot of talk in the papers about "Americanization" and it is important that every person in the United States should be taught the essentials of good citizenship. This does not apply solely to foreigners but to many of American birth. For instance, in the southern tier of states, large numbers of people have no conception of American citizenship. Many of the leading citizens are so busy with lynching and other deviltry that they lose sight of the essentials of American citizenship. ETERNALLY VIGILANT The Victory Loan campaign finds Republicans everywhere zealously working for the success of the last popular appeal the Government will make for financial assistance. Most of the sum represented by the Victory bonds has been realized already by the Treasury in the sale of certificates of indebtedness, which will fall due at various dates within a few months. The money received for those certificates has been applied in the payment of emergency obligations by the Government. The bonds simply have got to be sold for the maturing certificates cannot be paid. The credit of the Government is at stake, and the people will see to it that it is maintained, as they always have done in the past. But in working for the success of the Loan Republicans are not losing sight of the other duties they owe the Nation. Their fight against the menace of Bolshevism continues as heretofore; their study of the proposed league of nations proceeds unabated, and the necessity for floating the loan Colored Americans Call Upon Senate of United States of America to Carry Out the World War Declarations of World Democracy.

SOUTH OUT OF SADDLE. An analysis of the state of committee chairmanships of the next house as framed by the Republican committee tee on committees, shows the transfer of power from the south to the north with the middle west exercising the HEADLINE HARBINGERS Out of eight column headlines in one of the leading metropolitan dailies of a recent issue an issue printed when we are supposed to be either at peace or close to it, the following story is told: "Allied Missions Seized-Intermed Budapest at Request of Lenine." Guns Rule Budapest. "All Egypt in Revolt." "Poland, Roumania and Jugslavs Fear Bolshevik Invasion." "Council Needs Chief—Leader wanted at Peace Table to Bring End to Discord." And now take a look at the following one which represents what is going right on just as though the other headlines never existed. A representative of blind egotism and stubborn will; a representative of the limit to which a man will go who believes in theories above practical things. "Wilson Draws Clause to Guard Monroe Code—League Powers Limited—Can Recommend but Not Force, Reduction in Armament." Such a comparison needs no explanation. In its subtle way it speaks for itself. MINISTER MILITANT. "I don't propose to have it (the league of nations) crammed down my throat, until I know what it is, what it looks like, tastes like and what it is to cost this country." This is the way one minister expresses his views concerning the league. He is the Rev. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of the Madison Avenue Baptist Church, of New York, and head of the National Service Section of the U. S. Shipboard Board. He expressed his views while speaking at Wilmington, Del., and praised the critics of the league plan, even though he is for a league of nations, by saying: "God bless the thirty-seven Senators who criticized the league of nations plan. Americans have to make the greatest decision since the signing of the declaration of independence." HAD A FINE TIME The Department of Labor's industrial junketeers, who sailed in January to study labor conditions abroad, and possibly to catch a few crumbs from royal tables, have returned. Like Mr. Hurley, who meandered abroad to enforce a world-wide marine wagescale, they return with open minds and ears to the ground after an enjoyable trip at public expense which netted them no concrete information. It is now Secretary Redfield's turn to provide for a junket. European tours de luxe at public expense for government officials looking forward to retirement in 1920 are the order of the day. "On account of the war." NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN William J. Bryan positively asserts that the idea in the League of Nations of "deliberation before war" is taken from the 30 treaties negotiated by the United States with three-quarters of the world. These treaties were written while Mr. Bryan was Secretary of State. So the idea is not, as some would have us understand, original THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. with Mr. Wilson. However, if this nation should ever again undertake the deliberation which characterized our "watchfully waiting" Administration from 1914 to 1917 it might be we would be overwhelmed before the plan of defense had been mapped out. SOUTH OUT OF SADDLE An analysis of the state of committee chairmanships of the next house, as framed by the Republican committee on committees, shows the transfer of power from the south to the north, with the middle west exercising the dominant influence. Whereas nearly all of the important chairmanships, during the Democratic regime, were held by the south, only two states south of the Ohio river, Kentucky and Tennessee, will figure in the list this time. These two states will have one minor chairmanship each. The chairmanships of seven of the ten principal committees will be held by representatives from the four middle western states of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Two of the remaining three go to Pennsylvania and one to California. Pennsylvania leads the list of states in the number of chairmanships with eight. Illinois is second with seven, but none of these is a major chairmanship. 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 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." NOT EVEN GOOD OLEO "Fine words butter no parsnips." If they would President Wilson could make a success of at least one of his undertakings. Fine words could not save the Mexican flasco. Fine words could not prevent the disaster wrought PETITION. WI8E 8PENDING BRUCE GRIT FILES STRONG DEMURRER AGAINST MOTON'S METHODS by the free trade law during the few months before the war stopped its operation. Fine words could not make up for the surrender of our rights to the Panama Canal. Fine words could not lessen the taxes due to extravagant administration. Fine words could not carry letters when the mall service was demoralized. Fine words could not keep us out of war when the Huns were deliberately murdering our citizens. Fine words will not remove the dangers of European entanglements. Yet there are many people who prefer fine words rather than butter on their parnips. 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 aliens 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 "jimcrow" state, why should not colored men protest against segregation in every form? "REBUILDING THE WORLD." "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." PAID FOR PULCHRITUDE. How about this: Discharged soldiers receive a bonus of $00 and girls retained in Government service receive a bonus of $240 with a big increase in salaries. Does the government owe these girls more than it does the men who faced death in France? As one soldier says: "Washington keeps its No, An Absolute Democracy! But Wilson Religna! (From the Cincinnati Union.) There are more ways of killing a dog than hanging him." Our Democratic 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 those who complain of intolerable law, 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. Europe knows that there is a skeletal in America's closet and that that skeletal in the neck is often the U. S., occupant of the front-line trenches during times of war: ocean girls and the soldier keeps his uniform because he cannot buy a suit." Such a condition should be remedied at the next session of Congress. Bills have already been prepared to give the men a year's pay, and other advantages. If the government can afford a $240 bonus for its girl war workers it can afford a substantial bonus for the men who won the war. Think it over! WE'LL HANDLE OUR BUSINESS WELL HANDLE OUR BUSINESS. We shall very likely make many changes in our laws and a few changes in our Constitution, in the future as in the past, but we shall make them on our own judgment and not at the behest of people of other lands who have come here to share in American prosperity without helping to support American institutions.

The May CRISIS says in an open letter to Mr. Emmet Scott: The world and you will bear us when THE CRISIS and its Editor has given us the unselfish co-operation, even at the cost of picion and criticism. We have done this, FIRST, because the war demanded, and had a right to demand, unswerving loyalty and unity on the part of the Nation and its constituent states. YET, because we believed that you were, was possible under very difficult circumstances. A visit to Europe has, however, revealed to the Editor a state of affairs in regard to Colored troops which is simply astounding! And so we are publishing this month and others later. Meantime, we are withholding judgment in your case and simply asking you publicly three questions: 1. Did you know the treatment which black troops were receiving in France? 2. If you did NOT know, why did you not find out? 3. If you DID know, what did you do about it?

The pity of the whole despicable business is that our country is not given constitution, not made up to its own constitution, not made up to low the precepts of its own Christianity! It basely bows to the caprice of prejudice and condemns its own citizens to scorn, contempt and humiliation. The burden of this petty passivity need not be placed on the shoulders of the innocent country has ever been great 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 punishment in La Belle France; and the punishment in La Belle gloriously did her sable sons rally to her support. The day will come when America on bended knee will cry for help. Will there still remain forgiving black sons to come to her aid, all have been brutally done to death by the mob, the tree, the torch?

To the President of our Republic, we must not forget the war, 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 of humanity, these principles and aims were for the wiping out of autocracy, inhumanity and world democracy. Wrongs To Individual On World Basis For Redress. With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the establishment of 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. This court, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a tribute appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. 8. 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 time, we must cause universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, we must call war on the cratic conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deserves of every civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection. We must make sure that as employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in many public places deserves of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than the color in Christendom.

One of the papers published in St. Paul said in its columns a few days ago: "If every lie told in St. Paul could be nailed, iron would be as scarce in this old town as radium." That statement certainly is a libel and it ought to be nailed even though speak a good word for anyone do not speak evil. Always speak the good that one has done, for the good that one is doing, for the good that the evil but the evil will perish and die. HOME COMING ENTERTAINMENT and After Easter Ball of T. 7 M. C. Club a. Grand Success. The grand Home Coming Entertainment and After Easter Ball by the T. 7 M. C. Club at the St. Paul Armory on Friday evening of last week was a splendid affair in every way. The large hall was comfortably filled with a happy throng of handsomely dressed ladies and gentlemen. Atty. J. Louis Erwin was master of ceremonies and the exercises consisted of: selections by Prof. Howard's String Band; address of welcome by Atty. J. Louis Ervin, representing Mayor L. C. Hodson, who was unavoidably absent; solo by M. Jesse O'Deez, Oderman Hon. J. Larson, asset, secy. state, representing Dr. Julius A. Schmali, of state; address by Lieut H. W. Schuck, Co. D. 370 Reg.; piano selections by Miss Myrtie May Williams. All of the numbers on the program were par excellent and were well received. After the close of the exercises dancing was inudged in until the wee sma' hours. The club gave the privilege of selling refreshments to the management of Crispus Attucks Home and ladies in charge gave satisfactory service. The affairs of the club were inudged and success was due to the indefatigable labors of the following Committee on Arrangements: Clarence E. Jones, Chairman; Thos. Lewis, Vice Chairman; J. T. Claborne, Rolley B. Beard, R. N. Travis, J. W. Milton, Wm. F. Williams, S. M. Lewis, Geo. L. Lee, Atty. J. Louis Erwin, Secretary, HEADQUARTERS, 809TH PIONEER INFANTRY, FRANCE The Editor, THE APPEAL, St. Paul, Minnesota. Dear Sir: I have been informed that the best means of gettings news before the public of the Twin Cities is through the columns of THE APPEAL and so I am writing to you to express my appreciation of one of your boys who has made a wonderful record with this regiment. Regimental Sergeant Major J. K. Hilyard came to us, at Camp Dodge, a raw recruit and it was only a few days before his ability and qualifications were known over the whole depot brigade. Through constant application and hard study he rose to his present rank in the army in his forty four days and in that time he also successfully passed the exams for entrance to the Central Officers' Training Camp. Due to the exigencies of the times it was impracticable to send him to the training camp but there is no doubt in my mind that he would have made just as efficient an officer as he has a regimental sergeant major. 20 West The placing Office Tables, Bases, Supplies, Card Syst papers, Paper, Seconda Fixtures.

This young man will be returned to my midst soon and I thought it was our duty that I would press the high esteem in which he is held by all the officers of the 809th Pioneer Infantry.

Of Big Banquet at Memorial Baptist Church. The Big Banquet that was given under the auspices of the Willing Workers Club of Memorial Baptist Church, April 24, 1919, was a decided success. This report is given by Mrs. Matthew Johnson, chairman of the committee. Her reports on dinners have always been correct as the public knows. Out of two hundred and fifty tickets printed, one hundred and twenty-three were sold, breaking all previous records for such occasions. Those who donated are as follows: Mr. Matthew Johnson, one ten pound Armour ham. Mrs. Grant Winters, $4.25 and ten pounds of sugar. Mr. Guy Wilber, four gallons of ice cream. Mrs. Matthew Johnson, two cakes and a bushel of fruit for salad. Mrs. E. Younger, twenty-five cents. Mrs. Morris Hickman, fifty cents. Mr. B. Moore, fifty cents. Money taken in from dinner totaled $68.64. Total expense $18.00 leaving a clear balance of $50.64. The Willing Workers extend thanks to the entire public for its patronage on that day and trust it will not forget us in the future. Prizes awarded for selling tickets are as follows: Mrs. S. Oliver, 1st prize, pair silk hose. Master Palmer Carr, 2nd prize, one dollar. Mrs. J. D. Jordan, President. Mrs. Matthew Johnson, Chairman. Mrs. Matthew Johnson, after being a member of the Willing Workers Club for several years and an energetic worker, always willing and ready to do all she could to uplift the good cause. It was always "yes" instead of "no" when asked to do her part. She has at all times proved to be honest and square to the members and the public. She will resign from the Club as an honorary member and pursue some other way in the near future. These words I will leave with you: Sisters and brothers if you cannot Many bargains will be taken the first night. Come early.

O'Malley, County Treasurer and President of the Draft Board of this district, with the request that a fitting reunion be gotten up for the boys on their return. Mr. O'Malley informed Mr. R. M.

HAMMOND TURNER, Plaintift’s Attorney, 821, Metropolitan Bank Building, St. Paul, Minn, (5-419) CORRESPONDENCE TEACHING! 1s Now Developed at the University of Minnesota. It_was once ‘thought that to gain knowledge in any systematic manner ‘one must put himself under the direct, personal supervision of a teacher. Many still think this, and when it is impossible to do this give up all ef- fort at self improvement. This is to call attention to the fact that instruc- tion by correspondence has been de- veloped to meet just such needs as theirs at the State University at Min- neapolis and the work is conducted by the Correspondence Study Depart. ment of the General Extension Divi- sion. ‘The work as at present organized includes preparatory and college grade courses and vocational courses it business and engineering subjects. ‘The preparatory courses are of high school grade. ‘The college courses enable one to work for credit toward a degree from the University. As many as half the credits required may be earned in this way. Students who seek university credit must be able to satisfy the entrance requirements of the University, but it credit is not de- sired, any one may register for these courses. Many of them are of general value, dealing as they do with eco nomics, history, political science, sociology, and other subjects of pres ent interest. The vocational courses are practical in their nature and make constant application of the principles they teach. These, as well as the other types of courses, will be in- creased in number and scope as the demand grows, Visit Our New Store!
