Williams, In Charge, Employs 51 Officers and 273 Clerks, and Expects to Need 200 More—Mall, Telephone and Telegraph Service Interfered With As Little as Possible—Watch Like Hawk to See That Nothing Against Interests of America or Allies Gets By. By CYRIL BROWN. (In New York World.) That occupation isn't all play and living in Rhine castles, but involves plenty of hard work, is typically indicated by some statistics of our military censorship, which in turn is only one of the numerous activities of G-2 section of the Third army, functioning unostentatiously but effectively under the direction of Col. R. H. Williams, chief of military intelligence of the army of occupation. This interesting department alone employs the services of 51 officers, 15 field clerks and 258 clerks, while Colonel Williams expects that at least 200 men more will be needed in order to achieve the ideal of thoroughness. The work of our military censorship in keeping a prudent watch on the mail, telegraph and telephone when used by the German population has reached mammoth proportions only because of our broad-minded, liberal policy toward the Germans. Not motivated by altruism, but by commensense economic reasoning, the American military policy has from the very start been, and continues to be, to grant the natives the utmost limit of liberty of communication consistent with our naturally supreme military interests. Allowed Notable Freedom. The basic idea of our military formulators of policy has been that the less the Germans are hampered in the free use of the mails, telegraph and telephone, and in consequence, the less they are economically shackled, the better will be the economic life of the American occupied area and the greater will be the chance for every German in it to earn an honest living. It is not in our best military interest to have the economic life of this American oasis in Germany throttled, nor to wake up some fine morning with a pauper population on our hands. The healthier the economic life of the area, the more smoothly will our occupation function. The practical result of this general policy is that the Germans in our area of occupation enjoy a freedom in the use of the mails, telegraph and telephone to a degree not enjoyed by their fellow Teutons in either the French, British or Belgian areas. Germans in our area may send letters, including registered mails and special delivery letters, also parcels post matter, to unoccupied Germany as well as to the French, British and Belgian occupied areas. Similarly in our area may receive mail matter from occupied Germany and the other occupied areas. They may send telegraphs to unoccupied Germany and the other occupied areas, and may likewise receive telegraphs from unoccupied Germany and the other unoccupied areas. Most liberal of all, Germans in the American area may communicate by telephone with unoccupied Germany and the other unoccupied areas. The simple common-sense general rule of our military censorship merely bans everything detrimental to our interests or those of our allies. If they mind their own business and don't attempt to violate this simple, reasonable rule, Germans in the American area may go as far as they like in the use of the mails, telegraph and telephone. Our military censorship is on the job twenty-four hours of the twenty-four, and "Military Intelligence," under the direction of Colonel Williams, watches like an unemotional hawk to see that no Teuton gets away with anything against the interests of America and the allies; but beyond this the square deal spirit of justice and tolerance which animates the American brand of censorship crops out in the military occupation crops very human way—paradoxically, too, since censors are not generally credited with being human. Our competent military authorities are proud not only of the fact that the censorship is effective in safeguarding our legitimate interests, but that it does so with the irreducible minimum of delay and hardship to the Germans if they don't attempt to abuse our square-deal policy. Long Distance Phone. Most interesting, perhaps, is the long distance telephone proposition. Germans in Coblenz today can talk with Berlin—if the bolshevik will let them. If the operator here can't get Berlin or Munich or Dresden it won't be the fault of the American army of occupation. When our army first occupied Coblenz all long distance trunk telephone lines out of Coblenz, sixteen of them, were used to arm the armed stood military measure. Colonel Williams then let it be known that, subject to our censorship, a certain number of long distance telephone trunk lines would be permitted to resume business for such legitimate Teuton conversations as might be required by the needs of the community. And he left it to the Germans themselves to decide which long distance telephone lines they wanted to use most, and put it up to them. The German business chamber of commerce and the German business community generally. The Germans requested that five trunk lines be reopened for public use as being most essential to business; and this request was compiled with. Later, as business increased, three more long distance telephone lines were reopened to the public, so that the Germans in our area of occupation enjoy under military occupation 50 percent of the long distance telephone service used in many and the other occupied areas which they had before occupation. Censored 100 Per Cent German long distance telephone conversations are censored 100 per cent on all calls coming into or going out of our area. This involves no loss of time; the operator puts all such calls through our military telephone censorship office, where competent khaki-clad linguists umpire the flow of Teuton talk, and cut in if anything is said against our interests or those of our allies. There is also a partial censorship of German telephone conversations confined within the limits of our area of occupation. These internal telephone talks are liable to be cut in on any time by our military telephone censors. The Germans are also availing themselves of the generous freedom accorded them in the use of the telegraph. As in the case of local and long distance calls confined to the interior of our area of occupation, there is only a partial censorship of German telegrams within the American area. All telegrams coming or going out of the American area are, however, censored 100 per cent. No telegram is held up more than five minutes—if legitimate. All German mail going out of our area is censored 100 per cent. German mail coming into our area is censored up to 20 per cent, which is considered the ideal of necessity supervision. Our mail censorship functions at Coblenz and at Trier—Coblenz, however, doing the bulk of the censorship work. Every precaution is taken by Colonel Williams' section to see that no advantage is taken of our liberal policy regarding the German mails by attempted smuggling in or out in the mail cars. TAME CROW IN PERIL Bird Brings Wild Mates to Owner's Cornfield. Last August Simon Tixel of Platt Center, N. Y., while working in the woods, caught a young crow. He brought it home and it became very tame and a great pet, but its life is now in jeopardy. Tixel declares. For the past few weeks, he says, his farm has been overrun with wild crows. His tame crow flies into the woods, perched itself upon a limb of a tree, caws a few times, and soon the tree is full of crows. Then the tame crow flies home, followed by the wild ones. Tixel says he has no objection to the crow bringing home its brothers, but when he coaxes them into his barn and they begin to banquet on his outs, corn and wheat, it is more can stand. He will give the crow one more chance, and if it does not stop its performance off goes its head. Tixel says he has shot close to 100 crows in his barn, but it does not deplete the ranks. They have eaten at least ten bushels of grain, he declares. FARMER COULDN'T MARRY Couple Told by License Man That This Was Not Russia. A Hungarian girl and a Russian applied for a marriage license in the Franklin county probate court at Columbus, Ohio, and everything went smooth until it came to filling in the name, of the officiating minister. "Who will marry you?" asked the marriage license clerk. "Him," said the groom-to-be, pointing to another Russian who had accompanied the couple. "Who's him?" asked the clerk. "Him a Russian farmer," was the reply. "This isn't Russia, and 'Him' won't," said the clerk. "You will have to a preacher or a justice of the peace to do the splitting in this country." Got Old Wedding Fee. Forty years ago Rev. J. A. Sutton of La Rue, O., performed a marriage and the bridegroom forgot to hand over the customary fee. Through the mall Rev. Sutton has received a $10 bill and a note accompanying says it is from a "strenched conscience." As Reverend Sutton has received 714 marriage ceremonies, he does not remember the man who "forcot." Alas and Alack. "Dry" upper Michigan's stomach aches have been cured. The epidemic, which began several weeks ago, was immediately followed by an influx of patients, and then, alas, one bette leaked, and the officials won't let 'em have any more. Hen Lettera Her Egg.

SATURDAY; MAY 31, 1919 17-YEAR LOCUST IS SLOWLY GOING Causes Leading to Disappearance Outlined by Department of Agriculture. Circular Glives Succinct History of Insect and the Protective Means That Can Be Taken Against it. Washington.—Have you an ideal in the absolute in hopelessness? Well, let it be said that the house in which you live is comparatively new—built within the last 17 years. The ground on which it stands was originally woodland. In the summer of 1902 all the trees thereabouts were full of 17-year locusts. Eggs were deposited in the branches, the larvae came out, dropped lightly to the ground, and dug in. The long period of subterranean existence is almost ended. In May the insects will start toward the light and air—and will come in contact with the concrete floor of your cellar! There may be another situation as hopeless, but certainly none more so. That clearing up of woodland for the building of houses and for cultivation is the principal agency that is making the 17-year locust, whose real name is the periodical cloaca, a vanishing species. Dr. Gideon B. Smith, one of the earlier scientific observers, allowed rather a molecular note to creep into his invaluable collection when he wrote that future generations, if they read his writings at all, would shake their heads and think of him as a romanceer. Being Slowly Exterminated. In the same note, also, C. L. Mariart, one of the latest systematic observers, writes in his bulletin, "To the lover of nature there is something regrettable in this slow extermination of an insect which presents, as does the periodical cicada, so much that is interesting and anomalous." Thus, the present-day experts of the United States department of agriculture agree with the early observer that the time will come when there will be no periodical cicadas left. That time, however, is a long way off. There will be multiplied millions of them this year and in other years to come. For many persons the cicada will be as new a sight as it was to the first observers when they came from Europe to the American forests. Modelling on the subject is done, of course, of all the observations that have been made more than 200 years. They lack the freshness of the writings of men who saw the cicada before a literature of the insect had been built up. Those early writings, therefore, possess an unusual interest. Accompanied by Fever. In 1689 Nathaniel Moreton, who lived at Cambridge, Mass., wrote "New England's Memorial." In it he told of "a kind of a pestilent fever" that had prevailed in 1633 and "carried off many of the whites and Indians in and near Plymouth." "It is to be observed," he says, "that the spring before there was a numerous company of files, which were like for bigness unto wasps or bumble-bees, they came out of little holes in the ground, and did eat up the green things, and made such a constant yelling noise as made all the woods ring of them and ready to deaf the hearer." The old gentleman was to be excused for believing that the cladias "did eat up the green things." The appearance of the dead and withered branches doubtless was such as to justify such a conclusion. One "T. M." supposed to be Thomas Matthews, son of Samuel Matthews, governor of Virginia, who observed the cladias in 1675, fell into the same error. For nearly 300 years, then, the written record of the cicada has been piling up, undergoing corrections now and then, receiving new discoveries from time to time. As nearly as can be judged it is complete now. The latest addition is a circular, "The Seventeen Year Locust in 1819," by Dixon Merritt of the office of information, United States department of agriculture. It does not pretend to present new facts, but it gives a succinct history of the cicada and the protective means that can be taken against it. The circular will be available to interested persons in the 21 states where the periodical cicada will appear this year. DISCOVER GOLD IN CASSIAR Prospectors En Route From Vancouver to Unexplored Regions—Traffic Conditions Bad. Vancouver, B. C.—Prospectors are en route from Vancouver to unexplored portions of Cassiar, where gold has been discovered, according to reports relayed from Indians and trappers in that wild region. These reports have been forwarded to the Canadian geological survey. The only formal attention the reports have received is a statement that the survey considers transportation problems in the Cassiar region "almost unsurmountable." Government officials have warned citizens against possible fraudulent activities by "blue sky" promoters. RESOLUTIONS FOR 1919 1 1.

DON'T CASH WASTAMS BEFORE THEY ARE DU Means Throwing Away Person's Savin ing and Ruining an Excellent Investment. Every holder of a War Savings Stamp certificate should examine carefully the table of interest payment on the back of the card. John H. Meyering, director of organization for the central committee, called attention to the table today and pointed out that while the stamp bought for $4.13 this month increases in value one cent a month until Dec. 31, 1983, the value of only $4.71 on that day. But when the stamp on January 1, 1924, when the stampable, the owner gets $5 for it. The stamp thus increases in value 29 cents over night from December 31, 1923, to January 1, 1924. This amounts practically to one-third of the entire interest payment, but this final third is never received by persons who cash in their stamps at the postoffice before they fall due. Cashing in War Savings Stamps now is not only throwing away a person's savings, but an excellent investment by seriously diluted rate of interest payment," said Mr. Meyering. "It is that last 29 cents added to the value of the stamp that makes it a good investment. "Even more dangerous than losing the interest is the scattering of careful saving. The man who could save $4.12 to $4.23 in any month last year is seldom forced to have the money back today. Unless he must have the money back it is a mistake for him to change the stamp, where his saving is safeguarded, into the form of cash. It is easy to spread loot change. The whole history of savings shows that the less accessible saved money is, the more likely it is to stay saved. Money in War Savings Stamps or in the bank is much safer than in the pocket. It is a great mistake to stash in stamps which represent careful savings of days that are past." THINK IN INTEREST - SAVE The Victory Loan campaign will begin not later than April 21.

ONE AMONG FIRST PRISONERS Harry Loughman Waa Among First 1,000 Yanks to Fight Huns and Among the First Eleven to Be Captured—Spent Long Year in German Prison Camps—Honored by Being Made Peace Conference Guard—Brother Steve Also Saw Action. "Lo, Steve!" "Why, b'gosh, it's Hy. Howdy, buddie." "By the—why, where'd you come from?" The two clasped hands. And so Private Harry Loughman, after a span of two years of war, met his brother, Steve, in Paris. Back on April 6, 1917, the Loughman home at 461 Oakwood boulevard, Chicago, was a twitter over the declaration of war. Harry, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen H. Loughman, enlisted that day. In First Ten Thousand. The next day he said good-by to his younger brother, Stephen, and left for Texas. In a short time he went across among the first 10,000 Yorks to reach France. He was among the first 1,000 to fight the Huns and among the first eleven to be captured. Back home, Stephen, only 16, yearned for action and a sight of France. He gained his parents' permission, became a patriotic falsifier by telling the recruiting officers that he was 18, and joined the army. He, too, went over and did his part in the fight. Came peace. Harry was released from a German prison and named as a member of the president's guard of honor at the peace conference. Steve, with his detachment in Luxembourg, obtained a furlough and went to see it was there that they met after a span of two years. Emotion is taboo in the American expeditionary forces, but the gruff soldiers who saw the reunion between the two young brothers admit they temporarily lost all interest in the fourteen points and freedom of the seas. The colonel himself tossed his brand new cigar out of the window and remarked he'd better be going to write some letters home. Harry, after enlisting, got across in three months, fought on the Lorraine front and was captured November 3. Transferred from camp to camp, he finally got to the "strate" camp at Tuchel, where he was kept in underground quarters. There were 45,000 Russians there. It was their duty to haul logs a distance of fourteen miles each day. Food consisted chiefly of thin potato soup. Through mediation of the Red Cross, he was removed to a camp near Baden. A month after the armistice he was released. It required one month at a base hospital in Vichy to regain his strength. Then he was honored by appointment to the peace conference guard, Company 2, and will return to the states with President Wilson. Steve returned to his company in Luxemburg after the remon. Writes to Parents. "Dear mother and father," writes Harry, "we are together again for the first time in about two years. Steve looks fine. I was guard at the president's house when Steve was out to my barracks looking for me. I was relieved before noon on Friday, and when I arrived at barracks, outside Paris, they all said my brother Steve was here. "I found a note he left in the office asking me to meet him in a Y. M. C. a hotel in Paris, so I left in a going down the stairs. We came up but Stuve. Gee, it sure made me happy to meet him. We both are here in the reading room of the Soldiers and Sailors' club.

Concordia, Kan. received a visit one night from his son, Lieutenant Commander C. F. Parker, who was stationed there for twelve years. At the age of twelve years this son went to sea. For some years before the war he was sailing on the Pacific and has been captain of the ship Rose City. Last summer he was transferred from the Pacific to the Atlantic and became captain of the West Mount. Just recently he was again transferred to the Pacific ocean and made commander in the naval reserve. Ran Literal Blind Pig.

Wilford G. Oakes of Patten, who returned to Bangor, Me., recently after a remarkable record of service in the war as a member of a Canadian artillery regiment, had the experience, near Cambrai, of viewing his own grave, or that which was so designated, with his name inscribed on a rude slab over the last resting place. He took a snapshot of the grave as a souvenir. Oakes was severely wounded several times, and passed through experiences of the most hazardous nature, but returned without apparent disgreement owing to surgical operations in British army hospitals. In one battle when he was wounded he lost his identification card and was hustled to a hospital more dead than alive. His wives were shot away, making it impossible to communicate his identity, and as he was missing from his company his death was finally reported. Some soldier was buried under his name. A under surgical his name gave to him new jaw bones, his tongue was sewed up and other disgregations remedied, and today one has to examine his face carefully to find the scene. When young Oakes enlisted in 1914 he was seventeen years old, but his discharge papers give his age as twenty-five years. This is, however, explained on learning that he was so anxious to enlist that he raised his own mission. Oakes has been cited for bribery, and has received a medal of honor. CAUGHT BIG TURTLE It Was an Old One and Was Set Free. A turtle measuring 6 feet from head to tail and 5 feet across its shell, the head being 15 inches in circumference, was caught recently by Japanese fishermen off Yokohama and released by Ah Long, Chinman, who paid $55 for the privilege of giving it its freedom. The turtle weighed 800 pounds and its age was estimated at 1,000 years. Probably the reason for the purchase and the freedom given to the turtle is that the reptile is a sort of sacred emblem and the Chinman who can set one free in the ocean considers himself especially blessed. An interesting ceremony followed the financial transaction. Ah Long fed the turtle with several bowls of sake, the favorite alcoholic drink of the Japanese (prohibition having made little difference), and accompanied by as many friends, accommodated in two sampans sailed to sea, and after many prayers were said the turtle was released. ADVERTISING PAYS Man Is Convinced of the Power of Printers' Ink. Does it pay to advertise? George C. Wine, age fifty-nine, of Hartford City, Ind., is convinced of the power of printers' ink. Wine recently advertised for a housekeeper and got a wife. Now he's happy. The marriage took place in the clerk's office. Ellisa Flerce, justice of the peace, tied the matrimonial knot. The bride formerly was Mrs. Martha J. Jones, age fifty-five, of Montpelier. She admitted to the license clerk that she had known her husband only days. "He had the advantage of me," she said. "I answered his advertisement and he came to Montpelier and made inquiries about me, while I didn't have a chance to look him up." Wine has been active in Salvation Army work here. GASSED THE TURKEY The Germans Did It and the Yankees Ate the Bird. Wounded, gassed and shell shocked, and after having been at 14 different hospitals, Sergt. Benjamin C.

REFORM URGED IN REPORT Practice of Dentistry by Persons Wholly Unqualified Leads to Widespread Evils—Few Laws Regulating the Profession and These Are So Lenient That Almost Anyone Can Carry on General Practice — Few American There and Charges Are High. A shocking condition of affairs has been called to public attention in England by a report recently made by a committee appointing a judge to investigate the extent of the evils connected with the practice of dentistry by persons wholly unqualified to practice that profession. It will be hard for Americans, who, for many years, have had wonderful advantages in the care of the teeth, to realize how dentistry is practiced in England. There are a few laws and government acts controlling the practice, but they are so lenient that almost anyone, from a boiler maker to a fugitive bartender, can go out into the provinces and, with practically no training at all, perform surgical operations on the teeth and jaws, administering anesthetics and carrying on a general practice. America has quick decision-making skills, but as a rule, they have had some college training or, at least, some little merit as practitioners. But in England the advertising dentist may be by profession a janitor or a plumber. In the report it was stated that the dental profession is suffering from the odum and dishonor cast upon it by the uneducated and untrained persons who are wandering about the country breaking teeth, and in some cases causing deaths, through the improper or surgical instruments or paracritics. Quacks Operate In Pairs. Quacks Operate in Pairs. Under the present condition of affairs the traveling dentists, who are really nothing but quacks, go about England in pairs. As a rule there is one man who has some little knowledge of teeth, while his partner acts as canvasser, working mostly among the laboring classes soliciting trade for his chief. The chief is the extracting sound teeth in one home, his canvasser is working next door convincing others that they need special attention. The result of the result of this profession has been widespread decay in the teeth of the proletariat. The working classes in England not only have had teeth, but they actually suffer from the diseases caused by lack of attention at the proper time. The theory on which the traveling dentist piles his trade is that once a tooth is aching and gets beyond the bearable stage it should be "pulled." In hundreds of cases patients suffering from an ache in one tooth have several pulled and a set of false teeth put in to replace the sound teeth that might possibly ache in the future. The children of the working classes have very little attention in the schools, and as a result they grow up with decayed and crooked teeth. There is a system of inspection which only goes to the point of advising dental attention, but makes no provision for such attention. Reform is Urged in Report. An illuminating part of the report is contained in the following paragraphs: "The state cannot afford to allow the health of the workers of the nation to be continually undermined by dental neglect. Steps should be taken, without delay, to recognize dentistry as of general importance for preventing ill health, and every possible means should be employed for enlightening the public as to the need for conservative treatment of diseased teeth. "The dental profession should be regarded as one of the outposts of preventive medicine, and as such encouraged and assisted by the state. Treatment should be rendered available for all who need it. The present anomalous position, in which an uneducated, untrained person can practice as a dentist, performing surgical operations, is doing untold injury and casting underdesired dishonor upon the profession." Registered dentists have not increased numbers in England during the past 15 years, increasing in the registration is likely while the profession is debased by incompetent individuals and companies. The exorbient charges for dental work in England also have had a bad effect on the general welfare. The most prominent dentists in London are those who have had training in American dental colleges, and they make much capital on their American training. There are a few real American dentists in London, but they are overworked, and their prices are well night impossible for the average man. Old Man Gets Two Robbers G. N.

SATURDAY, MAY 31, 1919. The recently liberated Poles have been celebrating their new found freedom by massacres of their Jewish fellow citizens. When the reports first reached this country prominent American Poles denied the accusations, but American Jews of wealth sent a committee to investigate and their report has been sent to the various Jewish organizations and has also been presented to the state department. Conditions in Poland were described as being worse than in any other section. It was charged that the Polish government not only had made no effort to stop the pogroms, but in many cases incited the demonstrations. A mission of five men investigating conditions in Poland reported they had authoritative information that pogroms took place recently in Kalish, Dombrovo, Chmolinik, Pinchow, Stuppin, Wielum, Bust and in several smaller towns. It was declared that Jews who escaped death were subjected to "terrible mistreatment." Better conditions prevail, it was stated, in West Ukrania. Another report said several thousand Jews were massacred in Proskuzow by the band of Hetman Linlivny. In Hungary, the report continued, there exists a strong anti-Semitism, which "will undoubtedly lead to the greatest excesses against all Hungarian Jews." A pogrom in Pinsk on April 5, in which one hundred Jews were killed, was described by one of the representatives, who said the Polish military arrested many Jews who had assembled to receive flour furnished by the Jews of America and executed them in the market place without trial. "TREAT THEM RIGHT." A resolution proposing the reorganization of the American household to domestic service upon a footing "tolerable to the working woman" and organization of the domestic workers themselves to demand fair wages and improved working conditions will be offered by Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the National Women's Trade Union League, at the conven- Colored Americans Call Upon Senate of United States of America to Carry Out the World War Declarations of World Democracy. We, the undersigned, petition the Senate of the United States of America, by virtue of its treaty power must give to the League of Nations Covenant its assent before said Covenant can be finally adopted, in the fulfilment of the noble purpose of the recent World War repeatedly proclaimed by this Government and its Allies while the result was in doubt—viz: To establish real Democracy everywhere, to make the World safe for Democracy, and a safe place to live in, to insert or add by way of amendment when said Covenant comes before the Senate the following clause: Real Democracy for the World being the avowed aim of the Nations establishing the League of Nations, the contracting parties agree to vouch-safe to their citizens the possession of full liberty, rights of Democracy, and protection of life without restriction or distinction based on race, color or creed or sex.

"Under present conditions," Mrs. Robins said recently, "the working woman - resists the suggestion that she seek domestic service as a means of livelihood and resents the efforts to draw or force her into it. "When despairing householders cry 'What is to become of the American home if we can get no servants?' the working woman demands to know whose American home, your or mine? "For, after all, the working women are more numerous than their well-to-do sisters whose plains are heard in clubs and in the newspapers. And domestic service means no home at all for the domestic worker." MORE RELIGIOUS BUNK. A resolution condemning the publication of Sunday newspapers has been adopted by the Presbyterians at their general assembly at St. Louis. Spirited discussion preceded the adoption of the Sunday newspaper resolution, which calls on members of the church not to "subscribe for, read, or advertise in it." The Rev. Dr. John A. McCullom of Philadelphia charged the commissioners with insincerity. "Let us be sensible about the question," he declared. "What the church needs more than anything else is sincerity. I did a little detective work around the hotels yesterday and saw two former moderators, many of the secretaries of boards, and about half the commissioners here reading Sunday papers. The Sunday paper is just as necessary as the Sunday trolley, which you attempted to condemn several years ago." Yes, Brother McCullon, the Presbyterians, as well as all other brands of orthodox alleged Christians of America. All claim to believe in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man, but a few years ago the general assembly of Presbyterians thrust their colored membership without the pale of brotherhood by permitting segregation in synods. WHY NOT PROTECT AMERICANS? Former President Taft told the council of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, in an address at Boston recently, that religious discrimination in Poland and Roumania would not be tolerated under the peace treaty, and that there would be adopted provisions of the league of nations which would "prevent the heartbreaking occurrences of the past." Why not have a provision to prevent lynchings and other "heartbreaking occurrences" in Georgia and Mississippi of our own U. S. A.? NOT READY SAYS UNCLE JOE "Uncle Joe" Cannon, member of Congress from Illinois, who has just returned from Porto Rico, says that the island is a long way from readiness for either independence or statehood. He aroused some resentment during his tour by making a speech giving his views on the subject. Perhaps "Uncle Joe" is in his second childhood or something else is the matter with him. He spent a few weeks on the island, probably talked with some of the Southern officials who are misruling Porto Rico and imagines he knows the conditions. Porto Rico is as far advanced in civilization as North Carolina where "Uncle Joe" was born and the people have asked for "self-determination" under President Wilson's "Fourteen Points"? They say they must have statehood or THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. independence and their cry for liberty should be heard. 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. 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 defy 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. 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 The Methodist Episcopal Centenary public and private employment. BRUCE GRIT FILES STRONG DEMURRER AGAINST MOTON'S METHODS 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." 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. Ant-Semitic feeling is especially strong in Czecho-Slovakia. Jewish shops are looted and Jews officially discriminated against. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL OFFERED Representative Dyer of Missouri at the opening session of Congress presented 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. "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 fimcrow 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-kneaked 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." "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. DR. CLANCY IS WORRIED Dr. Rockwell Clancy of the Methodist Episcopal Church is worried about the "menace" of Mohammadman 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 Buddhist 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 BRUCE GRIT FILES STRAAGA AN ABSOLUTE MONARCHY? No, An Absolute Democracy! But Wilson. Reign! (From the Cincinnati Union.) There are more ways of killing a dog than hanging him." Our Democratic administration, so anxious to make the world safe for democracy, has shown a sublime disregard for the rights and safety of colored American citizens at home. It now seems to feel that, by refusing passports to representatives of those who complain of intolerable conditions here, that Europe will not know of the foul canker that gnawed the cry whale of government! 'Tis another case of the ostrich sticking it head in the sand and feeling that its body is hid. Europe knows that there is a skeleton in America's closest and that that skeleton is the black citizen of the U. S. occupant of the front-line trenches during war; war 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 Mohammedianism or Buddhism or any other ism which makes for manhood. DASTARDLY OUTRAGE IN CHI-CAGO. Residence of High Class People Attacked but No One Injured. Chicago, May 29—Two armed guards maintain twenty-four hour vigil at the steel bar gratings on the front and rear windows of a stately old stone front mansion at 4807 Grand Leopold, built as a home for Max Leopold, wealthy Chicago clothing manufacturer. Their vigilance did not save the mansion from attack last night—the second in two weeks. A bomb was topped on the roof, exploding with sufficient force to blast a hole through the attic ceiling and break windows in the apartment and nearby residence and apartment building. No one was injured. Aimed at Colored Families Since May 1 the mansion has been occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Harrison, their two children, and D. S. Coulter, a lifelong friend of the family. They are colored. Mr. Harrison is a traveling dramatic reader. Mrs. Harrison is one of Chicago's most noted pianists and a cage conservatory of Music. The Harrisons bought the mansion last January and moved in May 1. All the other residents of the block are white. The first bomb was exploded in the rear of the building May 10. Through a maid, employed by a white family in the city, the mission is said to have received information effort would be made to compel them to move. She then retained the guards. Hurled from Roof However, the attack last night was without warning. Police of the South Wabash avenue station believe the bomb was thrown from the roof of a nearby building. The victim is occupied by the homes of a number of wealthy Chicagoans. Among them are Frederick A. Poor, president of the P. & M. company, railway supplies, living at 4800 Grand boulevard; Leonard J. Stadeker, imam and director of the Birmingham and Vicinity School board, at 4814; Harry C. Wild, widow of one of the officials of the Great Lakes Dock and Dredge company, at 4814; United States Marshal John J. Bradley, 4840. Mr. Richard B. Harrison will be remembered by the people of the Twin Cities, he having visited them for the purpose of giving readings. RICHEST WOMAN DEAD. Madame Walker Who Made a Fortune Out of Various Toilet Preparations Dies at Her Palace on Hudson. New York, May 14, 2014. C. J. Walker, reputed to be the richest colored woman in the United States, if not in the world, and credited with a fortune of more than $2,000,000, which she made out of the sale of toilet articles, lvington-on-Hudson, yesterday. Her home was valued at $300,000. The newspapers had big headlines such as, "WALETHIEST NEGRESS DEAD," "RICHEST NEGRESS DIES," "HICHEST NEGRESS DIES," "HICHEST wealth did not prevent her from being called a "negress." 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 to citizens in America," was made tonight by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The demands include: A right for every colored man and woman with 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. Defend lynching. Equal service on railroad and other public carriers. Equal right to use of public parks. Equal right to use of public services for which he is taxed. 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 it, not noble enough to justify it! It barely bases to the caprices of prejudice and condemns its own citizens to scorn, contempt and humiliation. The burden of this petty passport problem need not be placed on citizens of France or that glorious country of England, but enough to honor and protect its citizens, regardless of race, regardless of color. The tint of the skin, the curl of the hair, has never been the judge of humiliation in La Belle France. Humiliation gloriously did her sable sons rally to her support. The day will come when America on bended knee will cry for help. Will there still remain forgiving black sons to come to her aid, or will the old been brutally done to death by the mob, the tree, the torch?

Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. B. A.

At this supreme moment in history, we must call world attention to so many should be banished, we must call world attention to the utterly unraticial conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deprives us of the right to except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restriction of government. Otherwise our color in many parts of the country deprives us of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, possession, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than any other, disfrianchisement.
