Circular Glives Succinct History of Insect and the Protective Means That Can Be Taken Against it. Washington—Have you an ideal in the absolute in hopelessness? Well, let it be said that the house in which you live is comparatively new—built within the last 17 years. The ground on which it stands was originally woodland. In the summer of 1902 all the trees thereabouts were full of 17-year locusts. Eggs were deposited in the branches, the larvae came out, dropped lightly to the ground, and dug in. The long period of subterranean existence is almost ended. In May the insects will start toward the light and air—and will come in contact with the concrete floor of your cellar! There may be another situation as hopeless, but certainly none more so. That clearing up of woodland for the building of houses and for cultivation is the principal agency that is making the 17-year locust, whose real name is the periodical clea, a vanishing species. D. Gideon B. Smooth, one of the earlier scientific observers, allowed rather a meticulous note to creep into his invulnerable manuscript when he wrote that future manuscripts if they read his writings at all, would shake their heads and think of him as a romanceer. Being Slowly Exterminated In the same note, also, C. L. Mariart, one of the latest systematic observers, writes in his bulletin, "To the lover of nature there is something regrettable in this slow extermination of an insect which presents, as does the periodical clcada, so much that is interesting and anomalous." Thus, the present-day experts of the United States department of agriculture agree with the early observer that the time will come when there will be no periodical clcada left. That time, however, is a long way off. There will be multiplied millions of them this year and in other years to come. For many persons the clcada will be as a new a sight as it was to the first observers when they came from Europe to the American forests. Modern writing on the subject is done, of course, in the light of all the observations made through more than 200 years. They put the freshness of the writings of men who saw the clcada before a literature of the insect had been built up. Those early writings, therefore, possess an unusual interest. Accompanied by Fever. In 1699 Nathaniel Moreton, who lived at Cambridge, Mass., wrote "New England's Memorial." In it he told of "a kind of a pestilent fever" that had prevailed in 1633 and "carried off many of the whites and Indians in and near Plymouth." "It is to be observed," he says, "that the spring before there was a numerous company of files, which were like for bigness unto wasps or bumble-bees, they came out of little holes in the ground, and did eat up the green things, and made such a constant yelling noise as made all the woods ring of them and ready to deaf the hearers." The old gentleman is to be excused for believing that the clauses "did eat up the green things." The appearance of the dead and withered branches was used and justify such a conclusion. Doc "T. M." be Thomas Matthews, son of Samuel Matthews, governor of Virginia, who observed the clauses in 1675, fell into the same error. For nearly 300 years, then, the written record of the cicada has been plilling up, undergoing corrections now and then, receiving new discoveries from time to time. As nearly as can be judged it is complete now. The latest addition is a circular, "The Seventeen-Year Locust in 1819," by Dixon Merritt of the office of information, United States department of agriculture. It does not pretend to present new facts, but it gives a succinct history of the cicada and the protective means that can be taken against it. The circular will be available to interested persons in the 21 states where the periodical cicada will appear this year. DISCOVER GOLD IN CASSIAR Prospectors En Route From Vancouver to Unexplored Regions—Traffic Conditions Bad. Vancouver, B. C.—Prospectors are en route from Vancouver to unexplored portions of Cassiar, where gold has been discovered, according to reports relayed from Indians and trappers in that wild region. These reports have been forwarded to the Canadian geological survey. The only formal attention the reports have received is a statement that the survey considers transportation problems in the Cassiar region "almost unsurmountable." Government officials have warned citizens against possible fraudulent activities by "blue sky" promoters. Developments in Southwest Net Them Big Returns. Oil and Coal Add to the Fortunes of the Aborigines in Okla- homa. Washington.—There are 300,000 Indians scattered throughout the 48 states of the Union; many of them, the Oages, Creeks and Quapawes, are rich in natural resources; rich in oil, gas, coal, asphalt, zinc and other minerals that not alone make wealth for themselves, but for the country of which they were the original occupants. Oklahoma ranks first of all the states of the Union in Indian population. The interior department, through Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, leased during the last fiscal year, 1,633,620 of land for oil. This vast estate is being administered through the Indian office in Washington, through the commissioner of the five civilized tribes at Muskogee, and through the several Indian agencies scattered throughout Oklahoma. The total number of barrels of oil produced from these rich fields during the last fiscal year is 24,193,267. The value of this oil in dollars would aggregate $50,000,000. The royalties alone during the last fiscal year actually paid to these Indian tribes approximated $8,050,008 and for the six years preceding there was derived in royalties alone and actually paid to the Indians for their benefit in oil royalties $26,000,000. The total amount of oil taken from these Indian lands in Oklahoma, all told, since oil was originally discovered, aggregates 383,000,000 barrels. The total amount of royalties and bonuses paid the Indians by oil operators during this development is $39,000,000. With the coming of the white people to the state and with the marvelous improvement going on in the construction of railroads, wagon roads, schoolhouses, churches it will be seen that the Indians are becoming assimilated into society, taking their place and assuming the role of citizenship. Form Squad to Sell Blood for Transfusion Santa Barbara, Cal.-A "blood transfusion squad," composed of physically perfect men and women, to hold themselves available at any time their services are needed, is being formed here. The Santa Barbara County Medical society has issued a call for a dozen volunteers. The merit of the plan, it is pointed out, is that physicians will have names of persons who can be called on immediately in emergency cases, whereas by the old plan valuable time was lost in volunteering. When one of the members of the "perfect squad" is called upon to give blood for some patient he or she, as the case may be, will be paid $20 for the red corpuscles given up to save someone else. BALZAC'S HOME IS RESTORED Includes Trap Door Through Which Famous Poor Man Eyes Received Credit. Paris.-The home of the famous French author, Honore de Balzac in the Rue Rayonard at Passy has been reopened as an artists' center. The house had been sadly neglected, but has been restored to present the appearance it had in Balzac's time, with its vestibule painted blue and the original oak carvings and red dark tapestries decorating the apartment where Balzac wrote his masterpieces. On the table stands the big china coffee pot from which the author was wont to refresh himself, for Balzac was mighty devotee of coffee. Oak wood cuts and original printing proofs adorn the walls. In the garden the vine that Balzac tended still grows and his beloved illics have been replanted there. In one room there is still the trapdoor through which Balzac used to disappear when importunate creditors called. U. S. SAVES FARMERS MILLIONS End of War Release 151,000 Tone of Nitrate at Cost for Fertilizer Washington.—More than $1,500,000 will be saved by the farmers this year as a result of the action of the government in making available at reduced prices large quantities of nitrate for fertilizer. After the armistice was signed the war department released to the department of agriculture 111,000 tons of nitrate produced during the war for use in explosives. To this quantity is added 40,000 tons received from Chile by the agricultural department, too late for distribution last year. Under authority of the food control act the nitrate is to be sold at cost and already, says a statement by the department, farmers have taken up the full 151,000 tons in orders ranging from 200 pounds to 800 tons. Minnesota Historical Society THE ST. PAUL AND MINNE HE PAUL AND MINNE THE APPEAL. MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1919. COLONEL PACKED FOOD TO MEN Soldier Lauds the Bravery of Leader of Chicago Regiment. WENT FORWARD UNDER FIRE It Was at Chipilly Ridge, and Men Had Nothing to Eat for Couple of Days—Colonel Wanted to Be Sure They Got It. New York—That Col. Joseph B. Sanborn, commander of Chicago's old First Illinois National Guard regiment, personally carried food to his men through terrific fire in that engagement at Chipilly fire in August, when Chicago's noted regiment was shot to pieces, was the story told by Sergt. C. William Keane of Chicago, who recently arrived here on board a transport from France. Keane, who was a student at Notre Dame university until Villa cut loose in Mexico, has several heroic feats to his own credit, but he attributes his bravery to Colonel Sanborn's inspiring leadership. Keane had the Military cross pinned on his breast by King George on the same day that General Pershing was made a Knight of the Bath. He also wears the American D. S. C. Keane has lost his right leg. Tella of Sanborn's Bravery. His story was told by a buddy of his in the One Hundred and Thirty-first infantry, but young Keane interrupted with: "Say, if you were fighting under a man like Colonel Sanborn, our commander, you couldn't help pitching in with every drop of blood in your body. Do you know what Colonel Sanborn did at Chipley ridge in August, when our outfit was so badly shot up? We were up there with nothing to eat or drink for a couple of days until Colonel Sanborn personally brought rations to us on his back under the most terrific fire that I ever experienced. "He did that because he wanted to be sure that the food would reach us and he figured the best way to make sure was to carry it himself. Who wouldn't fight like the devil under a commander like that? He wanted to the Mexican border with the First and re-enlisted later for overseas service. He was decorated by King George for his work at Hamel on July 4 when the One Hundred and Thirty-first was brigaded with Australians. Keane Rescues Wounded. Keane rescues Wounded. Keane had charge of directing the work of stretcher bearers. Party after party of them went into No Man's wrecked even and failed to return. Keane went to the aid and then he found them dead, lynching the stretcherers with the wounded men. They had been killed in their work of mercy by the Germans. At that moment a party of Germans made a sortie to capture Keane, but it ended in his killing several of them, forcing the others to surrender and to carry the wounded men and the stretcher bearers they had killed back to the allied lines. He won the American Distinguished cross in the Argonne on October 10, when he stood in No Man's Land directing the work of rescue till an explosive bullet shattered his leg. RELATIVES TO BE INFORMED War Department Will Keep Them Posted on the Condition of Wounded Soldiers. Washington—Relatives of sick and wounded soldiers admitted to military hospitals in the United States will be advised of the whereabouts and condition of the patients at the time of admission under a plan soon to be put into operation by the war department. Combined with the order issued by General Pershing to the men overseas to write home, it is believed by war department that the plan will give relatives prompt information as to all wounded or sick men. Hospitals in this country, it was announced, would be required to send cards reporting immediately to the nearest of kin when a soldier is admitted with his wound or aliment is and his general physical condition. Transfers of men from one hospital to another also will be reported. Killis Big Eagle. Independence, Mo—A bald eagle, three feet from the beak to the tip of his tall and weighing nine and one-half pounds, was killed by a farm laceworm. He was caught seven feet from tip to tip of the wings and has been mounted by a taxidermist. Cod, Fearing Sharks, Swallows His Money Boston.—Tony Grandetto of the dory fishing fleet caught a cod, and in its stomach he found a gold English sovereign. Along the waterfront there is a difference of opinion. One is that the fish feared the sharks would get his money and preferred to be his own banker. The other is that the fish picked up the coin from some ship that had been sunk by a submarine. --- SAVED BY U. S. FOOD Destitute People of Roumania Are Grateful to America. Timely Arrival of Supplies Prevents Growth of Bolshevism and Revolution. Bucharest.-American flour and clothing are saving the lives of thousands of destitute people throughout Roumania. The United States food administration has already brought into the country nearly 20,000 tons of flour, while the American Red Cross, which has a large mission established here, is distributing clothing and general relief supplies of all kinds among the needy population. The flour from America arrived at a time when conditions were at their worst and when local supplies for the Roumania people were almost exhausted. It received the want of food would result in a state of bolshevism and revolution. This American flour has been a tremendous factor in preventing the unrest. From its relief stations established at Bucharest, Jassy, Constanza, Galatz, Focasani and Pitesti, the American Red Cross is distributing its supplies, and in every important village an American Red Cross soup kitchen is helping to feed the population. Queen Marie, who has taken the greatest interest in this relief work, has assigned Prince Carol to co-operate with the American Red Cross. Col. Anderson, Red Cross commissioner to the Balkans, said that three large insignments of relief supplies had already arrived Roumania, and that the fourth was on its way from Toulou, so that the American Red Cross would soon be able to care for every destitute person in Roumania. TRAINED WORKERS ARE BEST Do Much More Efficient Work In Factories Than Those Without Training. Washington.—Information reaching the training service, department of labor, from establishments where factory training systems are in operation indicates that foremen, after brief experience with the training system, insist upon having trained workers in their departments, for the reason that they do much more efficient work than those who are put into the factory on production work at the start. Many workmen also ask for training, in order to increase their earning capacity, and so valuable has training proved for peace time that last week 17 factories adopted training systems, a number almost equal to the average installation of training departments during the war. In one large plant there was a feeling of hostility to training at the start on the part of a number of foremen. When the first graduate of a training department was put on production work in a week and was found fully qualified for production work, the foreman insisted that worker was exceptional. Under the old system from three to six months were required before workers were able to produce the quantity and quality of work required for a fair day's output. When a considerable number of persons had been promoted to production work after a week or ten days in training, however, the foreman's views changed very radically, and they refused to take any applicants for work who had not had the advantages of the training system. At one time, when the training department was full, a new hand was sent at once to the factory for production work, and the foreman protested vigorously. Washington: "Public health is purchasable," says the United States public health service, and adds that a first-class health protection service can be provided for one dollar per head in year. In fact some city health departments render excellent service at a cost of 75 cents per head. Let's all get together and give better supplies to health work in this community. Soldier Bewails Bride Wedded to Him for Glory East Orange, N. J.-Ole L. Robinson, who won his wife, Ester Crowell, daughter of J. O. Crowell, the New York publisher, by tales of heroism in France, sat disconsolately in jail and mourned the absence of his helpmate, who allowed the charge of robbery against her husband to creep in between them. "I thought my wife should at least have come around to see me," he said. "I expected much of her. We were getting along nicely until I had trouble with her parents. I now realize that Esther did not marry me for the marriage." Robinson, who is eighteen, still insists he was four months in service in France and had been a messenger attached to General Pershing's staff. While at the front, he says, he fell from his horse when shrapnel exploded near by and was invalided home, suffering from shell shock. Support Health Work. GREEK REFUGEES TELL OF OUTRAGES Colony Near Saloniki Victims of Dire Atrocities in Last Five Years. TURKS AND BULGARS CRUEL Forced to Live in Open Fields or in Dugouts and Driven Hither and Yon by Enemy—Are Grateful to United States. Salonikl—High upon the hills of the bustling Macedonian city is a picturesque settlement where 3,000 Greek refugees, driven from Asia Minor by the massacre of 1914, make their homes. Hundreds of other Greeks who were interned by the Bulgarians in Dobrudja during the war have joined them recently. The houses in this refugee camp were constructed by the Greek government. A space equivalent to a large New York furnished room is allotted to a family of from five to eight. The settlement has been given the pretentious name of "The Quarter of the Triumvirate" in honor of Greece's three great modern patriots—Premier Venizelos, Admiral Kountouriotis and General Danglals, who, repudiating King Constantine, espoused the cause of the allies when Germany sought to win over the Greek army. Grateful to United States. Many of the people have been helped by the American Red Cross and speak gratefully of the United States and its people. As the Associated Press correspondent was visiting the village, two ox carts loaded with Greek refugees who had been driven by the Turks from the villages along the sea of Marmora in 1913 and 1914, and who, during the present war, were expelled from Macedonia by the Bulgars, made their way slowly up the steep mountain road. The refugees had just come from Dobrudja, to the south of Roumania, where they were practically exiled by the Bulgars. They had been nearly months on the way, and virtually all of them had been killed from the American Red Cross, which has relief posts along the line leading from Bulgaria into Macedonia. Many were little toots on one to five years old. The wonder was how these little ones, sickly and under-nourished, were able to survive the long trip by train, motortruck and ox cart. The faces of these returning refugees were an inexpressibly sad and harrassed look. For five years they were driven hither and yon by Turk and Bulgar, and had never known what it was during that time to have a roof and shelter. Under the Bulgars they were forced to live in the open fields or in dugouts or stables. Eighteen hours a day at hard labor under constant intimidation was the lot of the Bulgars. A pound of black bread a day was the pitiful recompense they received from the Bulgars. Often those too weak to work were beaten by their ruthless masters. One refugee declared to the correspondent that at one time there were more than sixty deaths a day among the refugee colony in Dobruja from malnutrition, exhaustion and exposure. In certain sections, he said, the Greeks were forced to live largely on the rinds of watermelons which the Bulgarian soldiers threw in the streets. Tell Bitter Experience. The older residents of this refugee "suburb" of Salonkli, most of whom had fled from different parts of Asia Minor during the wholesale massacres there in 1914, have bitter experiences to relate about their treatment by the Turks. Some of these people lived in the city of Phocis, where the whole Christian population either had been driven out or were killed by the Turks. The women wept as they told about the outrages of the Moslems. The worst story was that told by an intelligent peasant woman, who declared that in a butchership opposite her home in Phocis she saw the Turks take a young girl who was considered the most attractive in town and cut her body into pieces. They hung the pieces on meat hooks and offered them for public sale, she said, to show the Turks' contempt for Greek Christians. What most impresses the eye of the visitor in speaking with these unfortunate people is their sad, wan and furrowed faces. They have been driven about by the invading foe until they have reached the point almost of despair and distraction. PLAN TO ENDOW MOTHERHOOD British Family Endowment Committee Seeks to Involve Marriage and Birth Rights. London.—The family endowment committee would endow motherhood. The proposal, as laid before the national birth-rate commission, is that the state provide a regular weekly income for families with children under 15 years of age. Emile Burns, representative of the family endowment committee, contends that the effect of the endowment on marriages and tend to remove the economic restriction of the birth rate. The cost to the government would be about $1,200,000 a year. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. WORK FOR DISABLED Technical Agriculture Offers Thousands of Positions. Serve as Stepping Stones to Higher Promotions and Better Compensation. Washington.—Technical agriculture offers thousands of positions as associates, assistants, helpers, extension workers and county agents, and this work is particularly suitable for retrained, disabled men, according to a statement issued by the federal board for vocational education. These positions serve as stepping stones to higher promotions and better compensation soon in the agricultural colleges, experiment stations, agricultural extension service and in state agricultural movements. These institutions and employments lost thousands of men from their student bodies, their faculty and their staffs. Hundreds of men formerly agricultural extension workers and agricultural county agents will never return to those occupations. These places were temporarily filled by unprepared substitutes who will be replaced by trained men as rapidly as possible. The experience broad, wherein opportunity was given to study the intensive and scientific agriculture of France and other countries, has greatly stimulated interest in these lines, and disabled men with a background of agricultural experience are manifesting keen interest in training for the lines mentioned. Many others who, by reason of their disabilities, are compelled to equip themselves in other lines, and preferably for out-ofdoor occupations, are also manifesting a keen desire to take up the specialized branches of agriculture in the training offered by the federal board. United States Marines Lost 5,199 of 8,000 Washington.—Of the 8,000 officers and men composing the marine brigade when it went into fighting near Chateau Thierry last July 5 to stop the German thrust at Paris, 126 officers and 5073 men either were killed or wounded. The marines took Lucy-BeoEege, cleaned up Belleau wood and finally captured Bouresches. In disclosing these casualties Major General Barnett, commandant of the marine corps, said published statements from army officers that the marines were not in the fighting at Chateau Thierry were misleading. The marines, he said, were not actually in the town itself, but in the action known officially as the battle of Chateau Thierry. 278 ARE DETHRONED BY WAR Bavaria Leads, With Prussia's Thirty-Three Royalties in Exile Second in List. Berlin.—A German professor figures that the abdications and dethronements in Germany include 278 persons. Bavaria leads with one king, one queen, 15 princes, 16 princesses, five dukes and one duchess. Prussia has sent 33 royalties into exile, including the emperor, empress, 20 princes and 11 princesses. Brunswick is at the bottom of the list, with only the ducal couple and their three children. The two tiny principalities of Pruss, whose area is hardly one three-hundredth of that of Prussia, have exiled 36 royalties. The principality of Lippe, only about 20 square miles larger than the Reuse states, had a royal family numbering 24 persons. Most extraordinary is the case of Schumbau-Lippe, with its area of 130 square miles, where there was nearly one royal personage for every five square miles. These included the reigning prince, 17 princes and seven princesses. SAYS FOE ROBBED PRISONERS Steamship Captain Asserts Many Parcel Post Packages "Went Astray." Sydney, Australia—Charges that Germans who handled Red Cross parcels for Australian soldiers in prison camps robbed the prisoners are made by Capt. Alexander Donaldson of the steamship Matunga. He was captured when the Matunga was taken by the German raider Wolf and was sent to a prison camp in the Hartz mountains. "The officer in charge of the camp was an old rogue," said Captain Donaldson. "He seemed to make a business of robbing us of our Red Cross parcels. About 40 per cent of them have been arrested and about 80 per cent after it, owing to disorganization in Germany. The "Fritz" who had the job of driving from the station to the camp with our parcels had a habit of dropping a lot of them off at his shop on the way up." Finda Pot of Gold. Virginia, Ill.—John Severon is showing his friends a pot of gold which fell at his feet out of a foundation near Chandlerville. Severon bought the old Robert Morgan estate north of Chandlerville recently. He was sounding the stone underpainting of the house, built before the Civil war/Recently. He dislodged an ancient kettle and it contained 140 $20 gold pieces. $2.00 PER YEAR. AIR SMUGGLING IS NEW PROBLEM Customs Officers Puzzled to Find Way to Prevent Threatened Evil. HARD TO ENFORCE RULES Treasury Department Bombarded With Requests for Rulings—Air planes and Hydroplanes Classed as Automobiles for Time Being. Washington—Snugging by airplanes sounds exciting, and is proving so to the customs division of the treasury, which is, to speak, "up in the air" about it. For the time being, the department has ruled that airplanes and hydroplanes are automobiles so far as it is concerned, but it is well aware that calling a bird a wagon will not bring it down to earth where it can tell what kind of a bird it is. Far there has been no report of illicit importation of airline, but expectation of such traffic is not denied. How to prevent it is a perplexing problem, growing more and more pressing as requests for rulings come from deputy collectors on our northern and southern borders. In the latter case they have had to do with tobacco brought in from Cuba by way of Key West and Tampa. Here is an entirely new problem for the treasury to deal with in the collection of revenue through customs duties. It is one to be solved by treasury regulations (born of decisions) for which no additional legislation is need. That it may be solved by a comprehensive law, or because of the best thought of the department, although the need of dealing with the situation has been long foreseen, has not been able to hit upon a method to close this door to secret importations thrown open by a modern method of transportation most difficult, if not impossible, to control. May Require Registration. It is believed that some scheme may be worked out whereby all airplanes leaving the country will be registered at the nearest custom house on the border, where a certificate will be issued to be presented at any custom house in returning, as is done now in the case of automobiles. This would in most cases be a mere formality, but would permit search in suspicious cases and would tend to keep down smuggling. "Will he be registered" is recognized as putting it strongly, as it is admitted it would be impossible to compel such registration of a machine miles above the clouds. The automobilist finds it best to comply because without his certificate to surrender on return he must prove his car registration. He must prove that 45 per cent ad valorem duty. There would be no way to stop the flying machine, coming or going. Deputy Collector Hayden L. Moore, at San Juan, Porto Rico, seems to think he has them going, if not coming. To him airplanes are not automobiles but seagoing vessels. Serious inquiries from business men on the island have caused him to make this ruling: "In the absence of specific instructions from the department, I shall require airships clearing from Porto Rico for foreign ports to be properly documented under the rules of the department of commerce in the same country, as no seagoing vessels are located, entries and clearances to be made and all dues paid at custom houses in districts where landings are effected or voyages started." Difficult to Enforce Rules. This is very simple, but airplanes are peculiar in their mode of travel. The collector does not say how he proposes to enforce this requirement, and has received suggestions from some of the Porto Ricaans that an aviation school for customers be established to bestow degrees of "sky inspector" and "custom ace." Service windows in the custom house also are urged bearing the legends "Airships entered" and "airships cleared." Deputy Collector Bragassa, at Key West, troubles over what is an airplane. He recently wrote to Collector Arthur G. Watson, at Tampa, that it was almost a daily occurrence for airplanes to go over to Cuba and return. One day his messenger boy overheard a man who had been a passenger on a boat from Havana tell the difference between traveling that way and by airplane. He said he had just paid $20 duty on a lot of cigarettes, when the other day he had brought the same amount home by air and did not pay a cent. Collector Bragassa wanted to know, "How about it?" Collector Watson told him to talk to the navy people about it. He replied: "I have conferred with Admiral Decker, who has issued instructions to the Key West air station that civilian passengers will not be permitted to be carried in airplanes unless permission has been granted by the customs officer. He issued instructions that all airplanes arriving at this port from foreign countries will comply with the navy's end of the regulations in connection with the reporting to the customs officer the arrival of American naval vessels from foreign ports."

TROTTER IN FRANCE. ‘The Boston Guardian announces that William Monroe Trotter has landed in France. : He is one of a delegation of eleven elected by a regularly constituted dele. gate converition of colored Americans to go to the Peace meeting at Paris and work for the abolition. of the color line in all the world, Every possible obstacle has been placed in the way of the delegation. Jimerow “negroes” did everything they could to prevent the representa- tives from making the trip and finally the government refused passports. That Trotter has reached France, shows again the determined character of the man, It may be too late now for him to succeed in his mission, but the mere fact that he has actually ar- rived upon the sceno of action, is in itself a remarkable feat, and some- thing may be yet accomplished. A DANGEROUS BILL. The Illinois Senate this week passed the Wheeler bill creating a board of co-operating educational advisors, con sisting of four white persons and five colored men. It provides for a-study on the economic and industrial rela tionship between the white and colored races and for co-operation with state and local authorities “in procuring better housing, educational and industrial conditions for the colored race and to endeavor to bring about a better understanding between the two races.” The Wheeler bill is class legisla tion and it would be very unfortunate and perhaps disastrous to the wel- fare of the colored people if it became a law. No matter what the seeming bene- fits may be, such legislation would un- doubtedly prove the opening wedge for further special ‘and perhaps dis- criminating enactments in the future.

CLANCY IS WORRIED __—si|China can furnish the laher Phare Dr. Rockwell Clancy of the Metho- dist Episcopal Church is worried about the “menace” of Mohammedanism and Buddhism in American. Says he: “Thrice every day 8,000 followers of Mohammed in America turn their faces toward Mecca and pray. And where the American flag floats over the Philippine islands 340,000 persons are followers of Islam. Buddhism also had set up its cross legged god in our west. There are seventy-four Bud- hist temples in the United States.” Japanese brides-to-be are met at the ports in the west by Buddhist priests and the marrriage ceremony is per- formed according to Buddhistic ritual. “It is the plan of the centenary movement to have ministers of the Christian religion meet these ships,” wrote Dr. Clancy. “The world recon: struction program of the centenary makes provision for neutralizing and ultimately removing other non-Chris- tian influences in the religious life of the country.” ‘The Methodist Episcopal Centenary Committee, proud of the fact that the church has turned its back on God and discriminated against the colored people of the United States, now seeks to “remove other non-Christian influ- ences,” and jimerow the Japanese. Neither Mohammedanism nor Bud- dhism has a color line, either in theory or practice, Theoretically Christianity has no color line, but practically in America the principal business of “Christianity” is to segre- gate and lower the social status of colored people. Bishop Hartzell one of the greatest of M. E. bishops, once Bishop of Africa, who spent many years on the ‘African continent said that the super- iority of the Mohammedan African over the Christian African was, most pronounced. The Mohammedan held up his head and compelled respect; the Christian did not respect himself and of course did not command re- spect. Let us have more Mohammedanism or Buddhism or any other ism which makes for manhood. SHAM DEMOCRACIES. Some of the new so-called republics of Europe which are being brought ‘into existence by the Peace Congres: are fakes and do not deserve to suc ceed. Their pretentions of democracy are shams. ‘There is now in Europe a commis: sion of Jews from the United States and they have just made public in New York, eye witness reports of the sufferings of Jews throughout Europe and the east. Hunger, disease, persecution, and privation is working a frightful toll on the Jews in Poland, Czecho-Slo- vakia, Greece, Serbia, Turkey, Syria, Palestine and Siberia, Anti-Semitic feeling is especially strong in Czecho-Clovakia. Jewish shops are looted and Jews officially discriminated against. FAVORS COOLIE LABOR. Abraham Bowers, immigration sec- Tetary of the Y. M,C. A. in a recent speech predicted that 100,000,000 im- migrants, most Japanese and Chinese, will come to the United States within the next fifty years. Among other things Mr. Bowers said: 4 THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on pro- test. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the in- quisition 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. “We must have unskilled labor,” sald Mr. Bowers. “Immigrants of the past generations who have done our heavy labor are graduating into the skilled class. ‘Their children refuse to touch the pick and shovel. The work must be done. Only Japan and China can furnish the labor. ‘There fore Japanese and Chinese will come coolies and all, and they will come unrestrictedly, overriding every ob stacle. _“T believe they will intermarry with our people as do other immi rants. Frequently ‘now Japanese and Chinese students marry our uni versity girls.” A CHURCH TRUST. In these days of Peace Leagues and other lesser world organizations, it is not strange that some American protestants hoping that they might ex. tend the dominion of their jimcrow works, conceived the plan of a great world union of churches as a trust. A committee of prominent American churchmen hied itself to Rome to sec the Pope and convert him to the Utopian scheme. His Holiness received them cordi ally, but suggested that as the pro testants had left the Romish church some hundreds of years ago, it woul¢ be in good taste for them to returr and if they did so, the Mother Churet would receive the wanderers to he1 bosom. “AMERICANIZATION.” | Since the war there has been a lot of talk in the papers about “Ameri canization” 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 for eigners but to many of American birth. For instance, in the southern tier of states, large numbers of peo: ple have no conception of American citizenship. Many of the leading citi zens are so busy with lynching and other deviltry that they lose sight of the essentials of American citizen ship. 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 ot close to it, the following story is told: “Allied Missions Seized-Interned Buda: Dest at Request of Lenine.” Guns Rule Budapest.” “All Egypt in Re. volt.” “Poland, Roumania and Jugo- slays Fear Bolshevik Invasions.” “Council Needs Chief—Leader Wanted ‘at Peace Table to Bring End to Dis cord.” 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 representa- tive of blind egotism and stubborn ‘will; @ representative of the limit to which @ man will go who believes in theorles above practical things. “Wil- on 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, NOT EVEN GOOD OLEo. “Fine words butter no parsnips.” I they would President Wilson could maké a success of at least one of his undertakings. Fine words could not save the Mexican fiasco, Fine words could not prevent the disaster wrought by the free trade law during the few months before the war stopped its op- eration. Fine words could not make PETITION. BRUCE GRIT FILES STRONG DEMURRER AGAINST MOTON’S METHODS 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 mail service was demoralized. Fine words could not keep us out of war when the Huns were deliberately murdering our citi ens. Fine words will not remove the dangers of European entanglements. Yet there are many people who pre- fer fine words rather than butter on their parsnips. 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 Presi- dent 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 rich est and most prominent Hebrews in the country, Tho objections to the establishment of a “Jewish Homeland in Palestine’ are set forth under four specific head ings, 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, “re pudiate every -suspicion of a double allegiance,!but to our minds it is nec essarily implied in and cannot by any logic be eliminated trom the estab lishment of a sovereign state for the Jews.” ‘The petition also states that “by th large part taken by them in the grea war, the Jews have once and for al shattered the base aspersions of th ‘anti-Semites, who charged them with being aliens in every land, incapabl of true patriotism, and prompted onl; by sinister and self-seeking motives, It says that those who would seel the establishment of a Jewish sover eign state and yet “insist on thei patriotic attachment to the countrie: of which they are citizens, are self deceived in thelr professions of Zion ism, and under a spell of emotiona romanticism or of a religious sent! ment fostered through centuries o gloom.” If the Jews representing to a grea extent the leadership in commerce: and industry and the money power o the World are opposed to a “Jjimerow’ state, why should not colored men pro test against segregation in evety form? “REBUILDING THE WORLD.” “Rebuilding the world,” is the in. scription 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 cot ton in “God’s Acreage” and contribute the money to the misslonary 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 jimerow policy. The Methodist Episcopal Church split into two branches over the ques- tion 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 @piscopal Church has given up all ideas of the “Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man,” gnd 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 Teceive a bonus of $60 and girls re. tained in Government service receive & 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 girls and the soldier keeps his uniform because he cannot buy a suit.” Such @ condition should be remedied at the AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY? No, An Absolute Democracy! But Wilson Relgns! (From the Cincinnati Union.) There are more ways of killing a dog than hanging him.” Our Demo- eratle administration, so anxious to make the world safe for democracy, has shown a sublime disregard for the fights and safety of colored American citizens at home. It now seems to feel that, by refusing passports to representatives of those who complain of intolerable conditions here,. 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 feéling that its body is hid. Europe knows that there is a skel- eton in America’s closet and that that skeleton is the black citizen of the U. S., occupant of the frontdine trenches during times of “war: ocen. next session of Congress. Bills have already been prepared to give the men a year’s pay, and other advantages. It 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! 1 ———__ | WE'LL 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 sup- Dort American institutions. PUT PEP IN POSTAGE. A New Yorker suggests that if Col. Roosevelt's picture were to be placed on our postage stamps it might tend to infuse new life into a moribund and disgracefully conducted depart- ment of the Government. WISE SPENDING. Are you a wise spender? Wise spending is regarded as a highly im- portant preliminary to thrift by the U. 8. Treasury. As part of its cam- paign for promoting popular savings through Thrift and War Savings Stamps during 1919, it has issued through {ts Savings Division the fol lowing definition of wise spending, which merits the thoughtful attention Jot every family and every individual who would get ahead in lite: ‘Wise spending implies the balanc- ing of all needs and of all means of meeting these needs and, after bal ancing 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 4ificult problem in connection with wise spending (or saving) is to real Ize the relative importance of future as compared with present needs, ‘The temptation of all of us is to satisty 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 un. wise is in satisfying petty wants of the present rather than Saving in or- der that urgent needs of the future can be met.” HAD A FINE TIME, The Department of Labor's indus: trial junketeers, who sailed in Janu- ary 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 wage- seale, they return with open minds and ears to the ground after an en- joyable 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 govern- ment officials looking forward to re- tirement in 1920 are the order of the day. “On account of the war.” TO MR. EMMET scoTT. le May CRISIS says in an open letter to Mr. Emmet Scott: The world and you will bear us witness that THE CRISIS and its Bal tor has given you loyal and unselfish co-operation, even at the cost of sus- picion and criticism. We have done this, FIRST, because the war demand- ed, ‘and had a right to demand, un- swerving loyalty and unity on’ the part of the Nation and its constituent groups; and, SECONDLY, because we believed that you were doing all that was possible under very dificult cir- cumstances. A visit to Europe has, however, revealed to the Editor a state of affairs in regard to Colored troops which is simply astounding! Some of these facts we are publishing this month and others we shall reveal 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 aboel at pant of the “Jim Crow” coaches dur- ing 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 fol low the precepts of its own Christian- ity! It basely bows to the caprice of prejudice and condemns its own citizens to scorn, contempt and humili- ation. ‘The burden of this petty pass. port problem need not be placed on the shoulders of France, for that glor- fous country has ever been great enough to honor and protect its citi- zens, regardless of race, regardless of color. The tint of the skin, the curl of the hair, has never been the badge of humiliation in La Belle, France; and o in her time of need, gloriously did her sable sons rally to her support. ‘The day will come when America ‘on berided knee will cry for help. Will there still remain forgiv- ing black sons to come to her aid, or will they all have been brutally dohe to death by the mob, the tree, the torch? “HUMAN NATURE’S FOULEST BLOT.” My ear is pained 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. * * * * * * Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys: Tis human nature’s broadest foulest blot. —Cowper. ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL COLORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DE- MOCRACY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE AT WASHINGTON, D. CG. DEC. 18, 1918. Colored America, through delegates assembled from 37 of the United States of America, sore and bleeding with persecution because of race and color, hails with hope peace with victory, for the motto on the banners of the armies of the victors was “Away with tyranny and its injustice every- where.” Speaking for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representative Assembly -for World Democracy under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League congratulate their fellow Countrymen and their government on being the instrument by which the God of righteousness. turned the tide of battle for the forces of liberty. War Put On World Basis As To The Results. ‘Two hemispheres and the islands of two oceans furnished without regaré to race or color the armies of this bloody and terrible war. Shameful it would be if its close did not mark a new humane era, To the President of our Republic, Commander-in-Chief of our army and navy it was given to name the principles on which the winners fought this war. and its purpose. By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles and the aim of this war were put upon a world basis. Secondly these principles and aims were for the wiping out of autoc- racy, inhumanity and injustice, and for the establishment of world justice, world humanity and world democracy. Wrongs To Individual On World Basle For Redress. ~ _ With the ushering in of the now year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the ostablishment everywhere of the principles for which this world war was waged by the forces of democracy. 2 Therefore every dental or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASIS BY A WORLD COURT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizons without traitor, appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemooratic 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 ail race or class discrimination in the world peace settlement. at this supreme moment in the cause of universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, we must call world attention to the utterly undemo- 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 de- Drives us of every civil right except in publlc carriers and subjects us to Tejection or to the restriction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal Sovernment. Otherwise our color in many parts of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, crueltios, atrocities, worso in degree than. exist anywhere else in Christendom. Sogregation in public carriers, dis- franchisement, lynching are essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought. Self-determination For Darker Nations. ‘That the tremendous material and appalling human fosses of this world war may not be without result for good, we appeal to the peace conclave to grant selfdetermination and rights without discrimination to all of the darker nations, ‘The Appeal Sent By Race Petitioners For Universal Abolition Of Color Proscription. On our part we shall send race petitfoners to the assembly of the repre- sentatives of the civilized world meeting to make good the promise of the victors in the world war, to petition for the abolition of autocracy of race ‘gainst Colored persons everywhere, and to appeal to this world Court for the discontinuance of color proscription and all distinctions based on color, givie, political and judicial IN EVERY NATION AS AN ARTICLE OF THE REACE AGREEMENT, that the world may be remade truly on the basis of {he liberation of the people of the earth, and of the enjoyment by every human being of world democracy, Else There Is No “New Day.” For without this there will not be the dawning of a new day of democ- Ticy, Ror of new era of permanent “pence after the most terrible and figantic war ever known embracing two hemispheres in a death grapple between the forces of autocracy and of democracy. en THE COMMITTED ON ADDRuSS, ‘liam M.

The Church said they were, He Thought they were, She Knew they were, But the Law said NO! It is very doubtful if ever any movie has caused so many eyes to be turned inward, so to speak, as "Are You Legally Married?" Legally it is only a matter of custom and opinion, due largely to the ridiculous differences of the divorce laws in many states. The Church of Rome, a few years ago, caused quite a conflict in the province of Quebec by decreeing that a union between a Roman and a Protestant was not a marriage. The Anglican church has declared that a contract with an unbaptized person was not a marriage, and a deceased bishop of the East opposed the second marriage of his assistant on the grounds that even death did not change the way the earth is bound in heaven." In the old Mosaic law of marriage many of us would be "weighed in the balance and found wanting," and yet, even that law that Christ laid down on divorce has been made elastic by the power of dispensation. In truth it reminds us of the old parable of "the mote and the beam" and since there is "so much bad in the best of us, the Gospel of St. John might easily say "Judge not, that you be not judged." Respectfully, Clarence M. Tibbs, 600 W. Central Ave. TRUTH TERSELY TOLD! WHAT BETTER THING CAN ONE DO THAN TO REMEMBER ONE'S FRIENDS?

Many still think this, and when it is impossible to do this give up all effort at self improvement. This is to call attention to the fact that instruction by correspondence has been developed to meet just such needs as theirs at the State University at Minneapolis and the work is conducted by the Correspondence Study Department of the General Extension Division.

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 if credit is not desired, any one may register for these courses. Many of them are of general value, dealing as they do with economics, history, political science, sociology, and other subjects of present interest. The vocational courses are practical in their nature and make constant application of the principles they teach.
