PEACE ARMY TO SPLIT BE ALL-AMERICAN Differen
VOL. 35. NO 21
Illiterates Will Be Drilled Mentally as Well as Physically.
Major Ferris' Development Battalion at Camp Upton Furnilies Basis for New Activity—Splendid Results Already Shown.
Camp Upton, L. L—The knowledge gained during the war in connection with the training and instruction of litterate and non-English speakers is to be turned to account in the recruiting of a peace-time army.
By direction of the war department there is being established here the first "recruit educational center," for which 50 barracks and other buildings have been set aside, and it will be conducted on the lines followed by Muj. Ralph Hall Ferris when he made such a success of development battalion No. 6, which went out of being when the armistice was signed. Muj. Ferris is retiring as camp morale officer to become commander of the center which is the outgrowth of his own plan.
Brigadier General Nicholson, camp commander, received within a few days the order to establish the center, and recruiting has begun throughout the eastern and northeastern departments of the army.
Will Be Taught English.
An illiterate or non-English-speaking recruit who enlistes under the new plan will be taught to speak English, will receive thorough American training from officers born here, and will in addition get citizenship papers when his enlistment term of three years has expired.
Under the draft act 24.9 per cent of the men enlisted, or practically one-quarter of them, were unable to read a newspaper or write a letter home. There were 1,500 such men sent here and they were put in Major Ferris' development battalion. His method of training and educating them attracted attention in Washington. In the notification sent to General Nicholson by Maj. Gen. Henry Jervis, assistant chief of staff, he said: "Your company was selected no longer because it is certainly located but also because of the excellent results in connection with the teaching of English that have been obtained in development battalion No. 6, Camp Upton."
On August 21, 1918, the Sixth development unit was organized and all rookies who were illiterate or did not speak English, except a few who had physical defects, were transferred to it. The teachers selected were privates or noncommissioned officers who held university degrees or who were teachers in civil life. Race was not considered in the choosing of officers. It was soon proven that squads and platoons composed of different nationalities received their military instruction as easily as if racial groups had been organized for the purpose. Only English was permitted to be spoken in the mess hall, military formations and general gatherings of the men. Instruction except in the elementary classes was given in English.
Made Good Progress.
Within three months men who could speak little or no English when they entered the battalion became sufficiently proficient in military English to fulfill the ordinary functions of soldiers both in organization and on separate missions. In addition practically all of the recruits proved their spirit of Americanism by becoming citizens.
The recruits upon being accepted for the new center will be classified according to their knowledge of English and assigned to battalions accordingly. A school of instruction of the illiterate and non-English-speaking recruits is being established. The course of instruction will be normally four months, or six months in exceptional cases. The men will be classed in groups of 15 to 20 and will be graded according to the progress shown.
A board of examiners will examine the recruits for classification and prepare suitable tests to determine the rate of progress especially of slow-learning men and the reasons for their backwardness. When the recruits have developed sufficiently for assignment Major Ferris will report them to the adjutant general of the army for disposition.
Has Grand Little Scheme
Kenosha, Wis.-To make sure that his wife was not away from home with some one else, Fasmus Gedvel, street car conductor, is said to have compelled her to ride miles and miles on his car. That was not so bad, but when he locked her up in the house and marked the bottoms of her shoes so that he would be able to tell if she left the place, she objected. "Mrs. Gedvel was given a decree when she told her troubles in the divorce court
Just a Little Late.
New York—"Just heard about the war and I want to enlist," said Stephen Kresney, dashing up to a marine recruiting office. He was quite shocked when told he was too late, the war being over.
SPLIT OVER TOBAGCO
Difference of Opinion Among Kentucky Experts.
Commissioner Wants Acreage Cut, While University Advises Plant More.
Louisville, Ky.—Differences in opinion between Mat Cohen, state commissioner of agriculture, and the college of agriculture, University of Kentucky, concerning tobacco production, have been published in a university bulletin.
Growers face disaster if the 1918 production of 427,000,000 pounds is exceeded, the commissioner declared at a meeting of loose leaf warehouse men.
Europe's immediate needs are 500,000,000 pounds, with but 400,000,000 available for export, the university bulletin asserts, adding that even with the probability of increased acreage in North and South Carolina, Georgia and Kentucky, the total percentage of increase in the world's crop will not be greatly affected.
Meanwhile tobacco growers are reported to be planting greatly increased acreage in Kentucky. Those in the central part of the state, Commissioner Cohen declared, "are tobacco crazy." He said some farmers had rented land at $200 an acre to grow tobacco. "With the cost of production now $150 an acre," he continued, "as compared with $80 to $55 a few years ago, this would make the initial cost $350 an acre before a furrow is turned. Growers cannot hope to profit with tobacco at 20 cents a pound, which we fully expect, and the production 300 pounds an acre."
On the other hand the university bulletin expresses the belief that "taking into consideration the abnormal conditions in the tobacco market, the outlook for next year's crop appears very favorable.
OF THE FIGHTING 69TH
D. Western Newsboer Union
Col. William Donovan and Chaplain Francis Duffy, who distinguished themselves on the field of battle. Colonel Donovan was promoted from a major to a colonel for conspicuous bravery while leading his men, the famous One Hundred and Sixty-fifth infantry, the old New York guard fighting Irish Sixty-ninth, who advanced farther than any other regiment. Father Duffy is the most beloved chaplain of the A. E. F., and his deeds of bravery under fire are historic.
29-Year-Old Goose Has Record in Egg-Laying
Hereford, Pa.—Peter A. Metz of near Creamery is the owner of a goose that is twenty-nine years old, and has a record—laying eight eggs during the year. The last egg she laid measured 8% by 11% inches in circumference. The goose is in danger of death, and age death robbed her of her life partner, "Pete," the gander. A dog snuggled out the life of "Pete."

Profit in City Ostriches.
El Paso, Tex.—Fleckle fashion has been playing fast and loose with the ostrich industry. A stock company started an ostrich farm in the valley with more than 50 of the long-legged birds. Then the creator of fashions ruled out ostrich plumes. Many birds were sold and the few remaining ones given to the city for exhibition purposes at- Washington park. Now plumes are in style once more. Park Commissioner Fisher is planning to buy meat for the wild animals in the park zoo with the proceeds from the sale of plumes.
Soldier at Home
Worcester, Mass.-Herbert Dixon, a private in the medical corps at Camp Devens, was in the army one year and never left his home town of Harvard, Worcester county. Private Dixon was stationed at Camp Devens, and his unit occupied grounds at Harvard. "Some war," he complained, and added that he could not see why they didn't send him to France with his brother.
THE APPEAL.
ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, MAY 24 1919
GREAT LAKES LEADS THEM ALL
Nine and Three-Tenths Miles of Ships Produced in District in Year.
HIGH SPEED FROM START
One Hundred and Twenty-Five More Cargo Ships Delivered From All Other American Ways in the Same Time.
Washington—Nine and three-tenth miles of clean-out cargo ships. That is the latest official report on the contribution of the Great Lakes district yards to the American merchant marine. Held by canal restrictions to a lighter type of vessel than that made on the coasts, the district did not produce so many net tons as certain other sections. But it built more ships than any other district in the United States.
On September 1, 1917, the Great Lakes started to build for the government. The first ship turned over to the United States shipping board came from a Great Lakes yard. She was the Limoges, a 2,930-ton cargo carrier, under construction for French operators by the Toledo Shipbuilding company. On August 24, 1917, the Ninth district was created. It turned the Limoges over to the shipping board on August 30.
They had not permitted the grass to grow under their feet for some decades in that region of busy commerce. Now they saw to it that the ice did not grow under their ships. To beat not only the Hun but also the winter season was the first big task which the Ninth district faced. By almost superhuman effort the yards finished 27 vessels and got them to sea before the canals froze in 1917.
Production Rose Steadily
Production Rose steadily.
When navigation opened in 1918 the nearest fleet of 20 ships slipped newly built from the yards and went through the canals to the sea. From that date the Great Lakes production rose steadily until month after month the district united off the steel ships built in the United States, and sometimes more than half. Efficiency and energy combined in a workable crude of endeavor, in November, 1918, the district touched the high point of its capacity. In that one month it built a fleet of 28 ships—nearly a ship a day.
This astounding output brought the total for the year up to 163 cargo vessels, one of them wood and the rest steel. In 12 months the Ninth district had produced just 125 more ships than all the American yards delivered in the year before America went to war.
Any narrative of the Great Lakes work is a progress from one shining triumph of this sort to another. The smallest yard of all, fitted with only three berths, actually delivered 13 ships in 1918 and finished a fourteenth only a little too late to get it out before winter. Between the end of November and the end of November it launched six ships more. Four of these are now completed and a fifth is almost ready for service. They are all of the 4,200-ton type.
At all these yards the records for riveting, fabricating, tonnage per man, stand out like mountain peaks. For example, the average total number of rivet gangs in the district is about 10 per cent of the entire country, yet District Manager Benton points out joyfully that the average output of these gangs enabled the lakes to deliver 30 per cent of the country's team wagon. "The team wagon," the district secret, according to the district executive, the builders, and the men. The district has been untroubled by strikes or other labor disturbances, or by disputes with builders.

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 Ridge in August, when Chicago's national guard 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 on 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 made sure it was to carry the devil under a commander like that?" Keane went 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.
needed to wounded Keane had charge of directing the work of strenuous patrols after party of them went into No Man's Land that day and failed to return. Keane went out to find them. He found them dead, lying across the stretchers with the wounded men. They had been killed in their work of mercy by tib 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 bullet of rescue till an explosive bullet shattered his leg.
RELATIVES TO BE INFORMED
War Department WILL Keep Them Posted in the Production of Wounded Soldiers
Washington.—Relatives of stick 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 officials that the plan will give relatives prompt information as to all wounded or sick men. Hospitals in this country it was announced should be received to send cards reporting immediately to the nearest of kin when a soldier is admitted what 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 laborer near here. The bird measured 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.
TO CITE EMPLOYERS
Those Who Hire Service Men to Be Recognized.
Special Certificate Will Be Signed by Baker, Daniels and Colonel Wood.
Washington. — Patriotic employers who perform their duty in employing returning soldiers and sailors will receive a citation from the government, Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to Secretary of War Baker, announced.
Colonel Woods said his office has completed arrangements with both the war and navy departments for this recognition of employers who pledge themselves to take back employees who entered the service and to show preference to soldiers and sailors in taking on new employees.
For those who join this new legion of honor a special certificate will be given, signed by Secretary Baker of the war department, Secretary Daniels of the navy department, and by Colonel Woods, representing the war and navy departments. The certificate, which is headed "War and Navy Departments, United States of America," reads:
"This certifies that — has assured the war and navy departments that he will gladly re-employ everyone who formerly worked with him and left to serve in the army or navy during the great war. (Signed) Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War; Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy; Arthur Woods, Assistant to the Secretary of War."
In addition to the certificate, the council of national defense, consisting of the secretary of war, the secretary of the navy, the secretary of labor, the secretary of the interior, the secretary of commerce and the secretary of agriculture, will authorize the holder to display on his service flag the shield of the United States as a symbol that he has pledged himself to fulfill his obligation. Certificates can be obtained by applying to Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, war department, Washington, D. C.
"SAVE 100,000 BABIES"
C. BARRIS & EWING
Mrs. Ina J. N. Perkins, as chief of the child conservation section of the council of national defense directs the activities of women's committees all over the country in the campaign to "Save 100,000 babies." The "Children's Year," set aside for this work, has been lengthened to July 1, 1919.
RUTGERS DROPS GREEK RULE
Study of Dead Language No Longer Required for Bachelor of Arts Degree.
New York.—One of the last strongholds of the classical tradition in education fell when the trustees of Rutgers college at New Brunswick, N. J., decided to abolish the requirement of Greek for the bachelor of arts degree.
A strong fight was made by the scientific school faction to have both Latin and Greek required of candidates for the A. B. This failed, but hereafter only one year of Latin will be required.
Rutgers is one of the strongest proponents of the classics. It was the eighth college founded in this country and was formerly connected with the Reformed Dutch church. For the last half century it has been the state college of New Jersey.
The trustees gave permission for a $200,000 memorial building to the Rutgers men who were killed in the war.
Had Old Bank Account
Burlington, Ia.—James Bryant, seventy-five years old, arrested here on a charge of horse theft, suddenly recalled when in jail that 20 years ago he deposited $1,000 in a Burlington bank. An officer accompanied Bryant to the bank, and, sure enough, he found his account intact with interest Bryant says he is afflicted with a memorial memo says he does not recall stealing the horse, which was taken from a Muscat stable.

ANTWERP LIVENS UP
Port Passing Through Period of Resurrection.
Ships Begin to Come Straggling Into Harbor Made Desolate by War.
Antwerp.—Antwerp appears to be passing through a process of resurrection, although the tonnage handled since the port was reopened more than three months ago represents what would ordinarily come through this port in one week during the days prior to war.
Ships now come straggling in, and along the seven-mile water front the which is heard creaking here and there, and the vision in some of the great stacks of bags of American rice and rows of barrels of Chicago pork, and there are foodstuffs, clothing and manufactured articles, most of which, however, is for immediate use.
The American commission of relief in Belgium had 17 steamships in port early in April and the American base for supplying the American army of occupation in Germany was unloading five others.
Shipping men are anxiously awaiting the opening of the American base at Conchid, about two miles outside of Antwerp on the Mailways, bars are being erected at Conchid for the accommodation of 20,000 soldiers at a time. This is expected to inject a little more life into Antwerp port.
The ground picked out for the American base is a vast plain, dry and well irrigated, and the doughbags will find living and sanitary conditions there much better than in other bases which have achieved greater prestige. The Americans have taken over some of the piers where North Gerlond steamships formerly docked. The piers were incumbered with gravel imported from Holland by the Germans, ostensibly to repair roads, but actually to build re-enforced concrete shelters, dugouts and trenches. One hundred cubic yards of the gravel had to be removed before the piers could be used. It is estimated the Germans had enough gravel there to repair Belgian roads for 50 years. When thousand longshoremen and workers were laid and the only solution shipping men find when questioned as to how the situation can be remedied may be summed up in one word: "America."
FIND FEMALE "NOT DEADLIER"
New York Finger Prints Show Decrease—Only Degenerates Increase.
New York.-The city's finger-print records for 1918 tend to prove that the female of the species here is not deadlier than the male. In announcing a decrease in the number of prints taken at the 16 magistrates' courts, Fred A. Hart, supervisor of this work, said that this class of records of females had dropped 51 per cent and that of the males 48 per cent, as compared with 1917.
More than 1,000,000 finger prints were taken during the year. Only the degeneracy class showed a large increase, 85 per cent.
The big decrease among females recorded is attributed to "better conditions in the labor market and the opportunity for greater reimbursement than in ordinary times," owing to so many men being in military and naval service. The decrease among men recorded was declared to be due to the "work or fight" order, driving idlers into government service or essential occupations.
Drilled for Water;
Read What He Found
De Pere, Wis.-The discovery came too early for the day of the big thirst, but Jules Dufrene says he expects to enjoy for many a day to come four jugs of 300-year-old cognac. The jugs bear the seals of Louis XIII, with the fleur de lis, an artifact buried by early traders. Dufrene found the jugs when drilling for a well on the site of an old French trading post.
Daniel Is Fireproof.
Bristol, Pa—Daniel Sweeney, a shipyard employee, is fireproof. Sweeney went to sleep in a bunkhouse with a lighted cigarette in his mouth. A few minutes later some of his companions noticed smoke issuing from his room. Sweeney was found sleeping peacefully with the bedding ablaze and his vest burned off. He did not suffer a burn. He was arrested and held until he could pay for the cost of the bed.

Chilean Airman Writes Story of Great South American Air Feat.
SET HIMSELF DIFFICULT TASK
There Are Mountain Chains Higher Than Andes, but None So Hard to Cross by Flying—Latin America Encourages Aviators.
Washington—Latin America rapidly is producing notable aviators. Every encouragement to flying is given by numerous private clubs that look upon aviation as a sport and as the solution of difficult problems of the transportation of mail, passengers and merchandise. Frequently only a few miles of airline separate two important towns between which communication except by wire is a matter of days, if not weeks. This is due to mountainous topography, lack of railways and the rough and wild character of the few roads and trails these handicaps seem only to stimulate the young South American to greater freedom in the air and the governments to overcome them by establishing regular service as a matter of business. Together these forces are working a development of aviation in South America.
Flight Across Andes
The particulars of the recent flight across the Andes of Lieut. Dagoberto Godoy of Chile, have come to the Pan-American Union for publication in its next bulletin. As the ocean adventure will be the greatest straightway flight ever attempted, so was the accomplishment of the young Chilean army officer the breaking of the world's record for height in crossing mountain ranges. There are higher mountain chains than the Andes, but none, it is held, so difficult to cross by flying. To pass over the highest peaks has long been the ambition of Chilean and Argentinian aviators. The daring engineer, George Newberry of Argentina, was the first to be killed at the foot of one of them in an attempt to accomplish the feat. Another Argentinian engineer, Senor Mascas, also was killed. Lieutenant Zani next got within a few miles of the divide and was forced to come to earth. Fliuros, the popular Chilean flyer, failed in turn. He was killed by Zuloga, two aerialists of Argentina, a year ago crossed the Andes in a plane and Luis C. Candela crossed the plane at a height of 2,000 feet from Zuloga to Cuenco still later in an airplane. Godoy's flight was made from Santiago to Mendoza, a distance of 210 kilometers in one hour and twenty-eight minutes at a height of 17,300 feet. He used a monoplane with a 110 horsepower Le Rhone motor. No account of his victorious achievement can excel the description he gives of it himself in a contribution to the Bulletin, in which he says:
"At last I was to get a bird's-eye view of the peaks upon which I had so often gazed from the track of my airdome. The Bristol mounted into space for a time. I had not yet looked downward. I had to watch my altimeter, my compass, the regular throbs of the oil engine and the revolutions of the wheel, to change the carburization continually and the Rhone; and then, when my altimeter had passed the 17,000 feet, I looked downward.
In Unknown World.
"I was in an unknown world. The mountain range stood out wonderfully clear; everywhere were canyons, immense black-mouthed valleys, gentle foothills and ice slopes. At the left Tupungato rose near me to my own height, or perhaps higher, like an enormous skyscraper, a magnificent yet graceful tower rearing itself toward heaven. On one side it had a long, gradual, almost horizontal slope, like a palm of the hand, white and frozen, but hospitable, inviting me to alight and linger. But the impression was too strong. But the impression was going 180 or 190 kilometers an hour hence the scenery altered rapidly. A moment later I crossed the frontier. My country was behind me; before me lay the sister nation and triumph—my slight but longed-for victory.
"At that moment the motor missed and nearly stopped. I guessed what was the matter. The automatic engine was not working and the gasoline couldn't reach the carburetor. I worked an Instant and the engine and rotary started up again before the change had affected the apparatus. I had to land. So I lessened the supply of gas slightly and began to descend slowly. The needle, which had reached a maximum of 17,300 feet, gradually lowered. Then the battle began, which lasted perhaps three or four minutes, plane seized in rage. That moment had been a windstorm on the Argentinian side. Perhaps that was the result of the cyclone. Then—calm again. And there in the distance among the far-away foothills, insignificant when contrasted with the huge bulks I had just left, rose the outline of the Mendoza, beyond the great plain, covered by a heavy veil of clouds."

Spirited discussion preceded the
adoption of the Sunday newspaper res.

‘The Rev. Dr. John A. McCullom of

two former moderators, many of the

BILLION DOLLAR BABY DEAD.
Vinson Walsh McLean, 9 years old,
widely known as the billion dollar
baby, because he was heir to the mil-
lions of Edward Beal McLean, was
run down and killed by ai auto at
Washington, D. C.
Baby McLean had a $40,000 cradle
presented by King Leopold of Belgium
and five nurseries in five of the finest
mansions in America.
Young McLean was a democratic
youth. For several years his boon
companion was a colored youth. His
tutors said he was an exceptionally
bright student and popular with his
‘mates.
ANTI-LYNCHING BILL OFFERED.
Representative Dyer of Missouri at
the opening session of Congress pre-
sented an anti-lynching bill making
mob participation a federal offense
with counties in’ which lynching occur
being: compelled to pay $5,000 .to
$10,000 to the federal government for
: the benefit of the victim's dependents.

SHAM DEMOCRACIES.
Some of the new so-called republics
of Europe which are being brought
into exisfence by the Peace Congress
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.
retary 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:
“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. There-
fore Japanese and Chinese will come,
coolies and all, and they will come
unrestrictedly, overriding every. ob-
stacle.
“I believe they will intermarry
with our people as do other immi-
grants. Frequently now Japanese
and Chinese students marry our unl-
versity girls.”
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.
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 jimerow
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 recelved them cordi
ally, but suggested that as the pro
testants 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 Churet
would receive the wanderers to her
bosom.
DISCARDS WORD “NEGRO.”
The Boston Guardian announces
that the word “negro” will not be used
in its columns in the future—a wis.
decision.
Editor Trotter invariably used the
word “colored” during the many year:
he was in editorial control. ‘The edf
tor now in charge began to use
“megro” after Mr. Trotter's departure
for France, but after two months tria
he has found that it Is not the correc
word and will abandon it.
‘Again we say, a wise decision.
APOLOGISTS WARNED.
| _A cablegram from Paris states that
messages threatening violence if the}
sien the peace treaty have been re
ceived by the Chinese delegation trom
various parts of China. A dispatch
[sont by $5,000 citizens of Shantung
province, says:
|_ “The traitors to our countries, Tsa0
Yu-Lin (minister of communications
whose house was burned at Peking),
and Chang TsungHsiang (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 pro-
posal you must receive the same treat.
ment upon returning to China, We
cannot give ear to apologies. Do not
fail us. We are much in earnest.”
‘The Chinese evidently mean bust
ness and as they dre experts in deftly
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
Jof the United States have been be
trayed by their alleged leaders. In-
steaa of demanding tthe 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 tor
reform in the treatment of 12,000,000
colored citizens of the United States,
olght 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.
_ The objections to the establishment
PETITION.
BRUCE GRIT FILES STRONG DEMURRER
, AGAINST MOTON’S METHODS
of a “Jewish Homeland in Palestine”
‘are set forth under four specific head-
ings, the chief one of which is that
“the Jows are dedicated heart and
soul to the countries in which they
dwell under free conditions.”
“All Jews,” the petition states, "re-
uaa every suspicion ‘of ‘a double
allegiance, but to our minds it is nec.
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab-
Mshment 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 witt
‘being aliens in every land, incapable
of true patriotism, and prompted only
by sinister and self-secking motives.’
It says that those who would see!
the establishment of a Jewish sover
eign state and yet “insist on thet
patriotic attachment to the countrie
ot which they are citizens, are self
deceived in their professions of Zion
ism, and under a spell of emotion
romanticism or of a religious sent!
ment fostered through centuries o
gloom.”
It the Jews representing to a grea
extent the Jéadership in commerc
and industry and the money power o
the World are opposed to a “jimcrow
state, why should not colored men prc
test against segregation in ever;
form?
“REBUILDING THE WORLD.”
“Rebuilding the world,” {6 the in-
scription surrounding the cross on the
shield of the “Missionary Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal Church,”
which {s working up a scheme to get
Southern colored people to plant cot-
ton 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 ald the Methodist Episcopal
Church until it reverses its present
Aimerow policy.
"The Methodist Hpiscopal Church
split into two branches over the ques
‘tion of slavery, but now the Northern
Jand Southern branches are to com
together again at the centenary. The
weakkneed Northern men have giver
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 go!
Soe but they may perhaps be kicked
‘out.
_ The Methodist Bpiscopal 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.”
“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 citl
zens are so busy with lynching and
other deviltry that they lose sight of
the essentials of American citizen
ship.
DR. CLANCY IS WORRIED-
Dr. Rockwell Clancy of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church is worried about
the “menace” of Mohammedaniem 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-
dhist 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 Buddhistie 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.”

There are more ways of killing a

| ‘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 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 beer
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, bu
the mere fact that he has actually ar
rived upon the scene of action, is ir
itself a remarkable feat, and some
thing may be yet accomplished.
A DANGEROUS BILL.
‘The Ilinois 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.
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, Bd-
ward H. Wright, Louis B. Anderson,
Lawyer Lucas, Capitalist G. H. Jack-
son, Banker Binga, Editor Abbott,
Major R. R. Jackson, Cols. F. A, Dent-
son and John R. Marshall and the
many other prominent citizens would
do well to join with the colored mem-
bers of the Illinois House of Repre-
sentatives to defeat the bill in the
house committee. DO IT NOW.
EMERGENCIES OVER.
‘The various Departments and Bu-
reaus at Washington demanded and
received immense appropriations to
mest “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?

COLORED CITIZENS OPEN BIG
DRIVE FOR THEIR RIGHTS.
New York—Announcement of a
country-wide campaign to enroll 100,-
000 persons “to defend the constitu-
tional and legal rights now denied
more than four-fifths of the colored
citizens in America,” was made to-
night by the National Association tor

The demands include:
A vote for every colored man and
woman on the 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.

public carriers.
Equal right to use of public parks,
libraries, and other community serv-
ices for which he is taxed.
An equal chance for a livelihood in
public and private employment.
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 so in hor 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 forgiv-
ing black sons to come to her aid,
or will they all have been brutally
done to death by the mob, the tree,
the torch? =

ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD
ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL COLORED CONGRESS FOR WORLD DE-
MOCRACY UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL
RIGHTS LEAGUE AT WASHINGTON, D. C. DEC. 18, 1918.
Colored America, through delegates assembled from 37 of the United
States of America, sore and bleeding with persecution because of race and
color, hails with hope peace with. victory, for the motto on the banners of
the armies of the victors was “Away with tyranny and its injustice 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
thelr 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 Tho Results.
‘Two hemispheres and the islands of two oceans furnished without regard
to race or color the armies of this bloody and terrible war. Shameful it
would be if its close did not mark a new humane era. ‘To the President of
our Republic, Commander-in-Chiet 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 ® world
basis. Secondly these principles and aims wore for the wiping out of autoc-
racy, inhumanity and injustice, and for the establishment of world juatice,
world humanity and world democracy.
Wrongs To Individual On World Basle For Redrese.
‘With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are
asnombled 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
forees 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 poace settlement.
Utterly Undemooratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. 8. A.
Citizens by law of the United States of America, tho famous Republic
of the West, we first appeal to the civilized world for the discontinuance of
jall 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-
eratic conditions under which every person of color ia forced to live in thie
country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital de-
Drives us of every civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to
Telection or to the restriction of the Ghetto as employoes of the federal
Sovernment. Otherwise our color in many parte of the country deprives us
of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy,
imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than
fexiat anywhere. cae in Christendosr Segregation in pubNe 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 tosses of this world
‘ar may not be without result for good, we appeal to the peace conclave
fo grant solf-determination 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 petitioners to the assembly of the repre-
sentatives of the civilized world meeting to make good the promise of the
Yictors in the world war, to petition for the abolition of autocracy of race
against Colored persons everywhere, and to appeal to this world Court for
the discontinuance of color proscription and all distinctions based on color,

There is a trite old adage: "The good die young," which, though not like the laws of the Medes and
THEODORE NORTHRUP HARRIS
Persians, "that changeth not," at least it appears to have been verified in the death last week of Mr. Theodore Northrup Harris, last survivor of the five children of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Harris, 285 Rondo street, aged thirty years.
The deceased was reared from early childhood in St. Paul and was well known throughout the city and generally liked by all who knew him for the sterling qualities he possessed, not the least of which was his all absorbing love of his mother.
He was generally quite healthy but for about one month prior to his untimely death he was ailing but was only confined to his bed three days when the end came.
The funeral was held at the family residence on Thursday of last week at 2:30 p. m., Rev. J. C. Anderson, of St. James A. M. E. church officiating.
The house was filled to overflowing by the friends who had come to pay their last tributes of respect.
The music was furnished by the St. James church choir conducted by Mr. Charles H. Miller, Miss Hattie Bell accompanist, who also rendered "Consolation" as a piano solo. Mr. Miller sang an appropriate solo. The floral tributes were remarkable for humanity, quality and beauty of designs.
Rev. Anderson who was well acquainted for years with the deceased and his family paid a most glowing tribute to his life and Christian character and that of his mother. He also read the following tribute from his broken hearted mother: "Theodore Northrop Harris departed this life on Sunday evening, May 11, at 10:15 o'clock. He was surrounded by his parents, relatives and friends.
Theodore was reared in the city of St. Paul his life was one of study and usefulness and in his death St. Paul has lost one of his most valuable choreographies and business men. He devoted his life to study for the last five years during which time he took up the International Correspondence Course which he so far completed that he was notified to appear
for examination for railway mail clerk. Within the last three years he completed a course with the community training school and secured a diploma and was the only man of St. Paul graduating with the specialization class on April 21st of this year.
As a business man he was quite successful and always looked out for the best interests of his home and mother.
He held every office in the Sunday School except superintendent and was corresponding secretary and treasurer of the Christian Endeavor Society. He died in the full triumph of Christian faith."

STATE WILL PAY $200 OF SOLDIER'S TUITION.
Ruling by Assistant Attorney General Specifies McConnell's O. K. Necessary. Veterans of the world war may draw $200 from the state treasury to pay for tuition in correspondence schools, as well as regular institutions of learning outside as well as within the state. This construction is placed on the law passed by the last legislature by R. L. Smith, assistant attorney general. The only restriction is that J. M. McConnell, state superintendent of education, must approve the college enrollment. Another opinion, written by M. J. Brown, also assistant attorney general, holds 'that appropriations of county funds for war memorials may be used with other funds to acquire memorial parks in which to place soldier's monuments.
