Manufacture of Whisky in Commercial Quantities Made Especially Difficult—Home Stills Are Officially Defined. Washington, — Ambitious drinkers who expected to set up their own little stills and maintain an individual oasis against the national drought are to be checked up, taxed and policed by the internal revenue bureau of the treasury department. The bureau sent notice to every collector of internal revenue of the requirements for registering and paying taxes on stills. The regulations are rigid and apparently the only escape for the individual defiant will be in the home manufacture of the distillery as well as the spirits. Then is given the following notice: "Under federal laws and regulations manufacturers of stills are required to pay an annual special tax of $50 and in addition there $20 for each still or worm for distilling made by them. All persons, firms or corporations thus manufacturing a still or worm to be used in distilling are deemed manufacturers of stills. This applies to all stills capable of the production of distilled spirits but does not apply to small laboratory stills (usually glass) to legitimate laboratory purposes or to water stills which are not capable of or intended for the production of distilled spirits. Ordinarily laboratory stills are small, constructed of glass and not adapted to the commercial production of distilled spirits. How Stills Are Defined. "Any stills or worms adapted to the production of distilled spirits for commercial or beverage purposes are presumed to be intended for such use and in consequence the manufacture thereof involves the manufacturer in special tax liabilities as above. In order to remove such presumption in the case of stills and worms intended to be used in the manufacture of essential oils, vinegar and like products and in purification of water (other than small glass laboratory stills) the person for whom such still is made will be required to submit to the collector evidence under oath showing that the still is not to be used for the production of spirits and setting forth specifically the actual purposes for which it is to be used. "The manufacturer of any still, boiler or any vessel to be used for the purpose of distilling must, before the same is removed from the place of manufacture, notify in writing the collector of the district in which such still, boiler or other vessel is to be set up, by whom it is to be used, its capacity and the time when the same is to be removed from the place of manufacture. Manufacturers of stills for industrial distilleries are exempt from the special tax for the manufacture of such stills, but they are required to obtain permits for their removal in the usual manner. Penalty for failure of stills to be distilled is the same in the time prescribed by law is 25 per centum of the amount of the tax. Penalty for carrying on the business of manufacturer of stills without having paid the special tax required by law is a fine of not less than $100 or more than $5,000 and imprisonment of not less than 30 days or more than two years. "All stills set up, whether intended for use or not, must be registered with the collector of the district on form 28 in duplicate. This applies to all stills of whatever size or for whatever purpose intended, whether for distillation of spirits or for pharmaceutical or other purposes except as to small glass laboratory stills. Penalty for failure to register still is a fine of not less than $100. The paratus which is not so registered, together with all personal property in the possession or custody or under control of such offender and found in his building or in any yard or inclosure connected with the building in which the same may be set up. Tip for Home Distillers. "A person who makes a mash fit for distillation is held to be a distiller even though he does not vaporize or condense the spirit. A mash fit for distillation is a fermented beer in which alcohol is generated. Obviously the making of a mash is not permissible in the home brewing of beer or home production of spirits, since it renders the manufacturer liable as an illicit distiller. Penalty for illicit distillation is forfeiture of the distillation equipment. It is also for distilled spirits and raw materials for the production of distilled spirits found on the distillery premises, and a fine of not less than $2500 or more than $5,000 and imprisonment of not less than six months or more than three years." Mourn Dead Goose. Huntington, Ind.-Mr. and Mrs. A. G.

The goose died at their home, blind, weak and just tired of living. WILL BOOST FARMING Railroad Administration Announces Program of Activities. Will Collect and Furnish Free Information About Agricultural Opportunities in Different States. Washington.—J. L. Edwards, manager agricultural section, United States railroad administration, has announced the following program of activities for agricultural development for the railroads under federal control, during the reconstruction period: To collect the latest information about opportunities for farming, stock raising, dairying, fruit growing, etc., in the several states having undeveloped resources and furnish it free to those who wish to engage in such pursuits, special attention to be given to discharged soldiers and sailors. To co-operate with county farm agents and other government and state authorities, and with newspapers, chambers of commerce, bankers, farmers, associations and other organizations, in looking after the interests of newcomers through the dissemination of information regarding methods of soil preparation, seeding, cultivation, etc., in order that they may be successful in the localities in which they have settled. To improve marketing conditions by the widest circulation of information in bulletin form about where and when farm products will be ready for sale, and where and when there will be need of such products, thus enabling the farmer to send his stuff to markets which are not glutted, and to obtain for it a price that will mean a profit on his investment, rather than a loss. To conduct a campaign in co-operation with government and state authorities with the view of increasing the live stock output, not only because it is a profitable feature of the farming business, but also for the purpose of building up the soil.

Philip Lucas (right) set a new record when he plotted a Liberty motored De Havilland plane from New York to Washington in 80 minutes without a stop and with a passenger.

REDS GRAB RUSSIAN STORES Vast Amount of Supplies Removed From Archangel Ahead of the Allies. Archangel, Russia.—When the allies force first landed here on August 2, 1918, it found that most of the military stores which had been transported here for the use of the Russian imperial government had been removed in safety by the bolshevik. The Germans and bolshevik knew of the allies' intention to land here to protect the stores, and Count von Mirbach, the German ambassador at Moscow, told the bolshevik the Germans would occupy Moscow and Petrograd they did not get the stores ahead before they landed. The bolshevik hurried up thousands of Chinese coolies and soon had the great bulk of the war material at Sukona, 40 miles north of Volgoda and 300 miles down the Volgola-Archangel railroad from the farthest point south the allies have been able to reach Last July the correspondent saw acre after acre of these supplies—shells, guns, motortrucks, airplanes, heaps of iron and steel—under wooden roofs at Sukona. The war material taken from Archangel by the bolshevik is believed to have aided them materially in the campaign against the allies in this region. Owns an Old Goose. Hereford, Pa—Peter A.

SATURDAY MAY 17, 1919 SYSTEM USED IN SINKING U-BOATS Navy Officer Reveals How Depth Bombs Are Directed to Their Mark. WAR SECRETS OUT AT LAST Tactics Worked Out at the Direction of Admiral Sims—Vessels Change Course at Regular Timed Interval. Newport, R. I—With the assembling of the largest class in the history of the war college, when it is fairly under way will number 60 officers of high rank in the navy, there has been brought to Newport many participants in the world war. Many of these officials feel perfectly at home in Newport, having at various times been connected with the naval station here. Capt. William W. Phelps, who is now on the staff of Rear Admiral Sims at the college, has lived in Newport twice. Captain Phelps' last command was one of the largest ships in the navy, the transport Leviathan, and in this connection he spoke interestingly of the transportation of the thousands of our troops from New York to Brest. Although strict censorship prevailed during the war relative to this hazardous service, it is now permissible to speak of the work of these transports. Navigating to Avoid U-Boats. Here are a few facts Captain Phelps related: During a voyage the Leviathan's course would be changed at regular intervals, from port to starboard, making a wide zigzag. In daylight she would steam at 22 knots. Off the bow on each side, and likewise off the stern, would be destroyers, making four close to the big ship. These destroyers also at timed intervals would zigzag, but in shorter turns, first towards the ship, and then away from it. Then guns were trained, and depth bombs were ready to go down the slide. Steaming at 30 knots, just ahead of the transport, would be another destroyer, making sharp zigzag directly across her path. Her speed would be so great that she would have to slow down to use her deck guns, as volumes of water would come over her prow. In the distance would be still another destroyer, five miles ahead, also running on time and acting as a scout, or like the pickets in the army. All zigzags were made according to exact time, so as to eliminate any chance for collision. Captain Phlose would night, running at high speed without lights, the timing made the trips possible without collision. The most dreaded hours were the long twilights in the north steamship lane, which sometimes lasted until ten o'clock, and frequently for afterwards the northern lights would make it possible for the dreaded submarines to see the big transport without themselves being discernible. Captain Phelps has the distinction of making the fastest round trip on record when, with the transport Great Northern last July, he went from Sandy Hook to Brest, unloaded his troops and returned to New York in 14 days, 4½ hours. The sea was favorable for this record, which has only been exceeded at any time but once, when in December, 1913, on a special Christmas trip, the Mauritania made the same transatlantic voyage in just 14 days. When the trips across the Atlantic with the big troop ships began there were many tactics worked out, emanating from Vice Admiral Sims. One of these was depth bomb practice, just as the battleships have target practice. One of these explosives set off 300 yards from the big ship Leviathan was sufficiently powerful to shake and jar her, yet it must be remembered that the effect on a vessel on top of the water is different from the effect upon one submerged. It lifts the water up much more way a huge warre would, but it crushes the undersea craft with pressure. How do you make sure of getting a submarine with a depth bomb? Captain Phelps was asked. Captain Phelps explained that a destroyer would steam at top speed in a circle around the spot in which the U-boat was seen, and drop a bomb every few yards. The speed of the surface craft is so much greater than the other that when the circle is completed it is positive that one of the bombs was work, for, whichever way the undersea craft turns, she cannot get out of the circle. Columbus, Ohio.—The broken my leg, lyded Jasper Politis, as he fell to the street. Two cops saw Politis fall and heard his cries. They called the police ambulance and hustled him to his home. All the way the man with the broken leg talked with the officers. Funny how a man with a broken leg can be so jolly," remarked one of the cops. "It was my wooden leg," said Politis.

Broke Wooden Leg MEXICANS STRIP HUN Villista Bandits Then Turn Him Loose on Range. Gang Winds Up Frolic by Making Things Lively for Making Managers Lively for Making Managers Ranchman. Chihuahua City, Mex.—Sauz, a town on the Mexico Central railroad not far from this city, has been the scene of another adventure, this time of a German subject, if Germans are still subjects. Sauz already is notorious enough because in Spanish it is pronounced exactly like "souse." The Villista bands, Martin Lopez, Ramon Vega and Epifanio Holguin, were having a trot in Sauz one day this week. Their trip primarily was to call on a German ranchman by the name of Neiman, who formerly was with the large German wholesale house of northern Mexico, Ketelsen & Degatau. When the Messrs, Lopez, Vega and Holguin called at Neiman's home the German apparently was not at home. Lopez was chief of the band, a group of 20 horsemen with sugarlah hats on heads and glistening bands of cartridges over their shoulders and around their wrists. It was the siesta hour. So he stationed his men to watch for the return of the German and lay down on the bed to sleep. Before dreaming of whatever a bandit dreams, Don Martin gave these orders: "My boys, find those two Mexicans who work on this ranch and shoot them at once. Only take them far enough away so that the shots will not wake me up. If you catch the German patron do not shoot him. Merely take everything he has; I mean everything, including his socks, and then let him go. Bring me his clothes. He dresses well and we are about of a size. I do not want to kill the German. His race is very valiant. If you see any Chinese shoot them, though. The Chinese are cowardly, peaceful people." "But before the generalisallimo dropped to keep he fell the bed move under him. Neiman covered with dust, appeared on his hands and knees. "Mi general," he said, bowing, "Con su permiso." Lopez called back his men and told them to carry out his orders. Neiman was stripped to the skin and "turned loose on the range." It was a warm day. Who in America Has Found Lost Jawbone? London—Who has his jawbone? And who have it, what is he doing with it?

New York—“Write this, please, to father: ‘I did my duty.’” This is the brief inscription that H. Lee Sellers of Montclair has asked authorities in France to have placed upon the grave of his son, Lieut. Barrington West Sellers, on the River Vesle. It was the dying declaration of his son. The complete message, taken from the lips of the dying soldier by a comrade, follows: “The general sent me to Major Houston (who was killed instantly and by the same shell) to order patrols to the left, and to stay with Major Heuston until he reached the river. Bing, bang! When I came back, I was told that I was prayed hard. Tried to get up, but failed. Didn't know whether shell blew me up or not. Write this, please, to father: ‘I did my duty.’ Good-by.” And on the bottom of the letter is the signature of Capt. F. W. Fetel, Co. F, Fifty-ninth infantry, who took it from Lieutenant Sellers.

London.—The soda water invasion is about to begin, and it is expected that a dozen or more modern fountains soon will be operating within half a mile of Picadilly Circus, while others will be going full blast in the suburbs. This happy promise for the Amer- cans living here came through the efforts of an American manufacturer who happened to be in London on other business. Inquiry developed that there were few fountains in the city, and these were far from modern. So he set out to sell his wares, and within a week had sold a bill which counted far into the thousands. Defective Page HOLLAND HOUSED 10,000 HUN SPIES Placed There to Keep in Touch With Britain. USE DUTCHMEN AS COURIERS Carry Messages to Enemy Agents in England—Loose Passport System Made Things Easy at First—Some of the Spies Were Highly Educated Men, Others Were Shadowers and Touts—Dangerous Band Broken. There were 10,000 known German agents in Holland during the war. A Dutch police inspector explained to the New York Sun that to expel them would simply mean that their places would be taken by other and unknown agents. They drifted into Holland on various pretexts. Some were highly educated men, capable of moving in the best society; others were mere shadows and tots. They took up all of positions. The case of the porter at the Hotel de Lies, the Waldorf-Astoria of the Hague, who proved to be a brother of the then German ambassador at Constantinople, is already known. But that is only one of hundreds of similar incidents. The chief task of this army of men was of course to keep in touch with Great Britain. In the early days of the war there was no more difficulty in this than if there was no war. British passports in those days were not worth the paper on which they were produced. A young journalist who was in Holland but had no passport got one from the local Consul (a Dutchman of course) simply on the production of a letter from home. Later on it was rendered very difficult to get a British passport, but curiously enough the previous issues of useless paper were not withdrawn until the war had been in progress for three full years. It need be said that the German secret service made good use of the carelessness. Lack of Co-operation Again the spies benefited from the lack of co-operation between the different British departments. Thus in one large town the British community was unofficially warned against patronizing a certain music dealer, who was a known German agent. Yet that man was one of the few Dutch music dealers who had a license for the import of British music. Dutchmen were largely used as couriers between the German agents in Holland and the spies in Britain. Loose women and night clubs were employed as a means of ensnaring young men for this purpose. Another aspect of the activities of these human moles was that of gathering information in Holland. The organization behind them was marvelous, and the Dutch had to Draft telegraphers for copies of entente code wires passing between the legations and Downing street or the Quay d'Orsay. So rampant did this evil become that the Dutch authorities had to insist on each operator submitting to a search before going on duty and again afterward. Photography was used to an extraordinary extent. Passengers boarding the boats for England were snapshotted and the photos all carefully filed. Photography was chiefly used to ensure possible victims. On one occasion a French attack, riding in the woods near Waseanar, encountered a lady who had been thrown from her horse. With the gallantry of his race, he went to her assistance. A few days later he was confronted with photographs of himself kneeling beside the "injured" lady. He was told that the lady was not injured at all, and would tell her own story. Dangerous Band Broken Up. With the threat of exposure as a lever, great effort was made to turn him into a traitor. Fortunately, he acted promptly and with courage, and in consequence a dangerous band was broken up. This was by no means an isolated instance. One characteristic of Teutonic methods was the adoption of great precautions to get the odium, in the event of discovery, thrown on Britain. On one occasion an "English" yacht, manned by a "English" vessel, was found stranded in forbidden waters the mouth of the Schoeldt. The yacht was saved and the crew arrested. On board was found a fairly complete plan of the Dutch mine field protecting the mouth of the Schoeldt. The odium was thus thrown on Britain. Happily, a few days later the plot was discovered and the pseudo-Englishmen found to be Teutons from Hamburg. Finally, an instance may be given of how the practice of spying has been ingrained in the German people. A Dutch family living at Harlem had a German boy of eleven staying with them in the summer of 1917. They found that the youngster was keeping a note of all that was said in the conversation about Germany. When asked whether he had been instructed to do so by his school-teacher, so that anybody who spoke against the kaiser could be found out and punished. That from a boy of eleven!

German Need of Fats Recognized in Order by Military Commission. Coblenz.—The average uniform ration for the 7,000,000 inhabitants of the occupied areas of Germany will be 930 grams a day for each person, according to the decision of the inter-alled military commission for food supply for the civilian population on the left bank of the Rhine. In weight this is an increase of 80 grams a day over that provided by the German war regulations, but estimated in calories it means an increase of 2,400 calories a day from the 1,400 allowed by the Germans. The increase in calories was based on reports made by food experts that the Germans needed more fats. The decision to allot each inhabitant 930 grams daily means that the commission agrees to supply the food not supplied by the Germans. The food will be paid for by the German government. It will be distributed through cards issued by the Germans at prices sanctioned by the commission. The food is to come from the supplies accumulated by the interalled relief organization and the army supply depots in the occupied zones will get 10 per cent of the total allotted by the interalled organization for Germany. The population of the American area of occupation is 850,000 and is 15 per cent of the occupied zones. The population of the American area of occupation as it can be brought from Rotterdam, U.S. OFFICIAL Underwood & Underwood Miss Margaret Wilson, only unmarried daughter of the president, has been throughout the war an ardent worker in the cause, and her work over there has won highest praise from all who knew her.

Before the American Physical society, holding its annual spring meeting at the United States bureau of standards, Maj. Gen. George O.

It is the discovery that growing antennas for the radio telephone and telegraph in both sending and receiving messages. By means of a metallic contact—simply a spike driven into a tree—it is possible to obtain and transmit dispatches from and to all corners of the earth. Even Private Homes Are Now Being Used for the Purpose in London. London.—Every day sees the opening of a new dancing room in London. "There is not a public hall to rent in the city or a private hall either," said an old ballet master who is now a ballroom dance manager. "House agents, particularly in Kensington, have entered the spirit of the search and are canvassing the owners and tenants of private houses who may have big rooms to let. A private house has an advantage over a public hall as it can keep open until the next day if it likes, while a public hall must close at midnight. "Anyone teaches dancing now. Girls who have just learned set up as teachers and working four or eight together in one hall, earn from $20 to $30 a week each." $2.00 PER YEAR RUSSIAN FAMINE IS WIDESPREAD Prisoners Straggling Back Find Fatherland Greatly Changed Since War. MAKE BREAD OUT OF STRAW Returning Soldiers Tell Tales of Pitiful Suffering from Hunger in Villages Through Which They Passed. With the American Forces in North Russia—Russian soldiers returning from Germany to their homes in northern Russia find their fatherland vastly changed since they went to war. Scores of these soldiers are passing through the boshiveh lines and making their way to the American and other allied outposts. They tell tales of pitiful suffering from hunger in the villages through which they passed. One of them, F. Erlampiefje of Archangel, thus describes his experiences: Famine Reigns at Petrograd. "At Petrograd we were sent to barracks, where a bolshevist officer started to read us the soviet program. The prisoners protested. 'Give us first something to eat, and then read us your program,' they cried. Then the commissar gave up trying to read the program, saying we were not fit elements for propaganda, and left us. Each of us received 25 rubles in advance on his salary. "Famine was reigning in Petrograd. The first category (working people of bolshevist sympathies) received one pound of oats daily. The second category received one-half pound. The citizens grind the oats in coffee mills to make flour for bread. For Christmas the Petrograd inhabitants received two potatoes for each person. A slice of bread is sold for 25 rubles. There was no tobacco. People smoked cabbage and nettle. Wait for Bread Two Days. "The situation at Volgola was the same as in Petrograd. It was famine, and the population stood in line for bread sometimes two days. There was no private commerce. The shops were empty." On his way from Volgola toward Archangel a commissar tried to coax Evlampieff into serving in the red army, and on his refusal sent him back to Volgola. A peasant hid him in a load of hay and carried him to his uncle's home in Torozok. In all the villages he passed through, he said, there was famine. The peanuts cut straw, it and make bread. Eventually, after long journey on foot through the snow, Evlampieff reached his home. When such prisoners reach the territory of the provisional government of the north they are cared for as well as possible. Many of them voluntarily have joined the white guard army because of their hatred of the bolshevki. NAVIGATION IS MADE SIMPLE New Computing Machine Solves Mechanically Calculations Necessary in Working "Sight." Washington.—A new computing machine used in the solution of navigation problems and applicable to aerial navigation was the subject of a report to the National Academy of Science by Dr. Charles Lane Poor. After explaining that the many attempts to solve all the problems of navigation by mechanical devices, or by sets of plotted curves, had not been successful, Doctor Poor said the new Saint Hilaire method adopted by the principal navies of the world lends itself to a mechanical solution. Further, he said, a computing machine has been designed which solves, mechanically the entire logarithmic calculations necessary in working out a "sight" by this method. With this instrument the calculations are actually performed with a few direct, simple movements, and with an accuracy equivalent to that obtained with four-place logarithmic table. In principle this instrument is essentially a circular slide rule. Its accuracy is sufficient for "off shore" navigation on board ship and is ample for any work on airplanes or airships. TRAINING BETTERS HIS STATE Young Chicagoan is Aided to Higher Wage by the Department of Labor. Washington.—How an unskilled workman increased his wages 60 percent in six months through the work of the training service department of labor is revealed in the story of a worker who six months ago went to a Chicago machine shop and experienced looking for a job. His only experience had consisted in pushing a wheelbarrow to and from a concrete mixer. They gave him a job as a sweeper, but after working in the shop a few weeks he became interested in the machines, particularly the boring mills and hand screw machines. Because he spent more time watching the machines than in working, he fell behind in big man but the latter learned of his attraction toward the machines, turned him over to the training instructor for a chance.

SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1919 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 delegate convention 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. Jimcrow "negroes" did everything they could to prevent the representatives 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 arrived upon the scene of action, in is itself a remarkable feat, and something may be yet accomplished. A DANGEROUS BILL The Illinois Senate this week passed the Wheeler bill creating a board of co-operating educational advisors, consisting of four white persons and five colored men. It provides for a study on the economic and industrial relationship 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 legislation and it would be very unfortunate and perhaps disastrous to the welfare of the colored people if it became a law. No matter what the seeming benefits may be, such legislation would undoubtedly prove the opening wedge for further special and perhaps discriminating enactments in the future. It would be a dangerous precedent. THE APPEAL trusts that Lawyer Edward H. Morris, Dr. C. E. Bentley, Rev. Dr. Carey, Lawyers Barnett, Ellis and Moseley, Dr. D. H. Williams, Edward H.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. son and John R. Marshall and the many other prominent citizens would do well to join with the colored members of the Illinois House of Representatives to defeat the bill in the house committee. DO IT NOW. DR. CLANCY IS WORRIED Dr. Rockwell Clancy of the Methodist 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 Buddhist temples in the United States." Japanese brides-to-be are met at the ports in the west by Buddhist priests and the marriage ceremony is performed 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 reconstruction program of the centenary makes provision for neutralizing and ultimately removing other non-Christian 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 influences," and jimcrow the Japanese. Neither Mohammedanism nor Buddhism 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 segregate 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 superiority 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 respect. 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 Congress are fakes and do not deserve to succeed. Their pretensions of democracy are shams. There is now in Europe a commission 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-Slovakia, 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 secretary of the Y. M, C. A. in a recent speech predicted that 100,000,000 immigrants, most Japanese and Chinese, will come to the United States within the next fifty years. Among other things Mr. Bowers said: "We must have unskilled labor," said 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. Therefore Japanese and Chinese will come, coolies and all, and they will come unrestrictedly, overriding every obstacle. "I believe they will intermarry with our people as do other immigrants. Frequently now Japanese and Chinese students marry our university 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 extend 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 see the Pope and convert him to the Utopian scheme. His Holiness received them cordially, but suggested that as the protestants had left the Romish church some hundreds of years ago, it would be in good taste for them to return and if they did so, the Mother Church would receive the wanderers to her bosom. "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 devilty that they lose sight of the essentials of American citizenship. DISCARDS WORD "NEGRO" The Boston Guardian announces that the word "negro" will not be used in its columns in the future—a wise decision. Editor Trotter invariably used the word "colored" during the many years he was in editorial control. The editor now in charge began to use "negro" after Mr. Trotter's departure for France, but after two months trial he has found that it is not the correct word and will abandon it. Again we say, a wise decision. APOLOGISTS WARNED A cablegram from Paris states that messages threatening violence if they sign the peace treaty have been received by the Chinese delegation from various parts of China. A dispatch sent by 35,000 citizens of Shantung province, says: "The traitors to our countries, Tsao Yu-Lin (minister of communications, whose house was burned at Peking), and Chang Tsung-Hsiang (former minister to Japan, who was severely beaten by the Chinese), deserved death for the blow suffered by the Chinese people. "Should you sign the Japanese proposal you must receive the same treatment upon returning to China. We cannot give ear to apologies. Do not fail us. We are much in earnest." The Chinese evidently mean business and as they are experts in detain BRUCE GRIT FILES STRONG DEMURRER AGAINST MOTON'S METHODS removing heads with one blow of the axe, it is likely that the envoys will "sit up and take notice." In recent years the colored people of the United States have been betrayed by their alleged leaders. Instead of demanding the rights of the race, they have in many instances sold out. THE APPEAL does not advocate the Chinese plan of decapitation of the men who sell out, but such creatures should be cut off from the society of respectable people. They are not fit to associate with decent dogs. 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 alliens 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." WISE SPENDING Are you a wise spender? Wise spending is regarded as a highly important preliminary to thrift by the U. S. Treasury. As part of its campaign for promoting popular savings through Thrift and War Savings Stamps during 1919, it has issued through its Savings Division the following definition of wise spending. AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY? No, An Absolute Democracy! But Wilson Reignsl (From the Cincinnati Union.) There are more ways of killing a dog than hanging him." Our Democratic administration, so anxious to make the safe for democracy, has shown a subline disregard for the rights and safety of colored American citizens at home. It now seems to feel that, by refusing passports to representatives of those who complain of intolerable conditions here, that Europe will not know of the foul animal that is cruelly evirals of our government! "The cruel case of the ostrich stick it head in sand and feeling that its body is hid. Europe knows that there is a skeleton in America's closest and that that skeleton is the black citizen of the U. S., occupant of the front-line trenches during times of war: occu 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 less 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." 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 support American institutions. EMERGENCIES OVER. The various Departments and Bureauats at Washington demanded and received immense appropriations to meet "war emergencies." Will they be just as prompt and as earnest in recommending that the appropriations be cut off when the "Emergency" ceases to exist? 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 department of the Government. It cost considerable money to send our army to France, and it will cost just as much to bring it home—make good your W. S. s. pledge. COLORED CITIZENS OPEN BIG DRIVE FOR THEIR RIGHTS. New York.-Announcement of a country-wide campaign to enroll 100,000 persons "to defend the constitutional and legal rights now denied more than four-fifths of the colored citizens in America," was made tonight by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The demands include: A vote for every colored man and woman of same terms as white men and women A fair trial in the courts for all crimes of which he is accused. A right to sit upon the jury which passes judgment upon him. Defense against lynching. Equal service on railroad and other public carriers. Equal right to use of public parks, libraries, and other community services for which he is taxed. An equal chance for a livelihood in public and private employment. TO MR. EMMET SCOTT. The May CRISIS says in an open letter to Mr. Emmet Scott; The world and you will bear us witness that THE CRISIS and its Editor has given you loyal and unselfish co-operation, even at the cost of suspicion and criticism. We have done this, FIRST, because the war demanded, and had a right to demand, unrestrained authority, and unity on the part of the Nation, his constituent groups; and SECONDLY, because we believed that you were doing something 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! 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: 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? pant of the "Jim Crow" coaches during times of peace. The pity of the whole despicable business is that our country is not great enough to live up to its own constitution, not noble enough to follow 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 passport problem need not be placed on the shoulders of France, for that glorious country of France, for that great enough to honor and protect 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 so in her time of need, 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 sons to come to her aid, or will they all have been brutally done to death by the mob, the tree, the torch? "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT."

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL COLORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DEMOCRACY UNDER THE AU$PIICES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE AT WASHINGTON, D. C. DEC. 18, 1918. Colored America, through delegates assembled from 87 of the United States of America, sore and bleeding with persecution because of race and color, hails with hope peace with victory, for the motto on the banners of the armies of the victors was "Away with tyranny and its injustice everywhere." Speaking for 12,000,000 Colored Americans, the National Colored Representatives mobilized the leaders 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.

Secondly these principles and aims were for the wiping out of autocracy, inhumanity and injustice, and for the establishment of world justice, world humanity and world democracy.

With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the establishment everywhere of the principles for which this world war was waged by the forces of democracy. Therefore every denial or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASIS BY A WORLD COURT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a traitor, appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. S. A. Citizens by law of the United States of America, the famous Republic of the West, we first appeal to the civilized world for the discontinuance of all race or class discrimination in the world peace settlement. At this supreme moment in the cause of universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, we must call world attention to the utterly undemocratic conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this society. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deprives us of civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restriction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise both parts of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial rights subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, associates worse in degrees than exist anywhere else in Christendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynching are essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought.
