RUSS PRISONERS IN GERMAN CAMP Problem Both to the Allies and Their Captors. 400,000 ARE BEING HELD American Red Cross Worker Gives a Description of the Camp at Amitu-lehben—No Stable Government in Russia to Which the Captives Can Be Turned Over—American Red Cross Cares for Needs of Men. Russian prisoners of war in Germany constitute a problem. To repatriate other prisoners is comparatively simple, but there is no stable government to which the 400,000 Russians can safely be intrusted, none competent to undertake caring for them. The revolt at home makes possible a revolt among the prisoners, and the advance of spring has given rise to fear of a general exodus toward their border. Both the allies and Germany find the situation disquieting. This description of a Russian prison camp in Germany was written by an American Red Cross worker: The buildings at Ruhleben now use for prisoners consist of old stables and pavilions, which have been supplemented by barricades similar to those by American soldiers in France. The buildings are collapsed, well drained and with any amount of open space. One can trace in the center of the race course the faded white lines of former cricket and football grounds—always an indication of occupancy by English soldiers. Upon our arrival at the camp we were ushered into the American army headquarters, where the lieutenant in command was holding a conference with the Russian prisoners' committee. The subject under discussion was the preparation of plans for an entertainment given to given by prisoners themselves. We were not arguing the relative merits of banjos and guitars when we came to. Inspection of Camp. The subject was postponed while we formed in groups for an inspection of the camp. We had come at an auspicious moment, for the men were just assembling for the midday meal in long lines outside the mess kitchen. We had an excellent opportunity to inspect their clothing and general appearance. All of them were warmly clad, and shod either with leather shoes or sabots. The condition of the clothing seemed to vary with the industry and ingenuity of the wearer. Patches and seams made a medley of color, while the variety of headgear, varying from a Corsack's fur turban to an English Tommy's discarded cap, wearing, even comical, appearance to the most casual in the camp. The men themselves were apparently in a good physical condition, but they were for the most part silent and somewhat morose. Here was none of the animation and liveliness of the usual mess lines. We went into one of the kitchens and saw the men being served with the thick potato soup, in which was floating a surprising quantity of meat. One of the cooks obligingly came forward with a plateful and a spoon, and we went through the ritual of tasting it. It was really very good. This soup is cooked in large caldrons, dexterously stirred with long wooden shovels, and as fast as one caldron is emptied it is scrubbed and cleaned and a new mess of potage begun. Some of the men ate their soup in the kitchens, but the majority preferred to carry it to their barracks. Presently we went into one of these and found it very warm, very close and a bit smelly. But to a people accustomed in Russia to sleeping on tops of stoves this condition seemed not unnatural and even greasable. Disinfecting Process. Here were groups of men sitting on their bunks, consuming their soup in a stolid and ruminative way, or playing a silent game of cards which seemed to me to resemble plonche. All of the bunks had blankets and bedding, obviously in need of renovation, and we were glad to hear that this was being carried out very rapidly. In one corner we came upon a lively little Jewish prisoner, once a tailor, now busy making a suit of clothes out of a blanket. The trousers, which he was just finishing, were all beautifully and carefully hand sewn. He was working the border design of the blanket into a sort of a decoration for the front of the coat. We next went to the disinfecting and bath house, which we found equipped with steam pressure clothing disinfectors and hot water shower baths. The whole camp was being put through the delouising and disinfecting process, and the team came up with a striking evidence of the Red Cross activity. Here was a group of men, newly scrubbed with good American soap and hot water, clad in fresh white flannel underclothing, undergoing a general physical and medical examination. From here they passed into an adjoining room, where they doned again their clothing newly cleaned and disinfected. They grinned with delight when touching the new underwear, I displayed the only Russian expression that I knew—a sort of an equivalent of "tres bien, ne c'est pas?" The camp hospital is a solid looking brick building, somewhat removed from the main part of the camp. Out of the 3,000 prisoners in the camp we found here only 66 in bed, chiefly with influenza. The Russian doctor and the Russian nurse attached to the hospital were evidently proud and happy to show us through the thoroughly neat and clean wards and the kitchen. American Red Cross American Red Cross. The organization of the American Red Cross at the University is typical of the organization at the university, other camps scattered throughout the length and breadth of Germany, in which are interned about four hundred thousand Russian prisoners. We maintain in Ruhleben a Red Cross medical officer who is also the official inspector and representative. It is his duty, in co-operation with the local German commander and possibly with the prisoners' committee, if there is one, to report on the general condition and the camp. Food, clothing and medical supplies are forwarded from requisition from the Red Cross warehouses in Berlin. As regards the food it is in the nature of a ration of bread and meat, supplementary to the regular ration furnished to the prisoners by the German government. Each prisoner is now receiving 300 additional grams of bread a day, which, with the regular German allowance, gives him 600 grams daily. At the present moment the German civilian allowance is 375 grams daily. Clothing, underwear, socks, shoes, medical and surgical supplies and dressings and hospital diet foods are the chief contributions, however, of the American Red Cross. The actual distribution of these supplies is in the hands of the American army detachments at each camp. This problem of finding work and occupation for the prisoners is one of the difficulties afflicted with which we have to contend. At thieben the difficulty is increased by the fact that, unlike most of the other amps where perhaps one-half of the prisoners are at work on the farms in vicinity, the men have no regular occupation. We are meeting this problem by providing athletic supplies and organs games. The Russians are not an athletic people, however; they are much more interested in our efforts to supply them with musical instruments. RAISING RATTLESNAKES Find There is a Good Living in a Farm for That Purpose. The queerest farm in the Ozarks is that of Miss Rose Ahern and her brother, Henry. Several miles up Indian creek, in the heart of the rockiest and roughest part of the hills and bluffs, this brother and sister operate what they call their "diamond rattlesnake farm." And, being in a neighborhood where snakes are plentiful, they are often driving business. For three years alone, they have been following this business, and they will probably have 300 or 400 snakes this season. They expect to do far better than ever before, now that the war has ended. The principal profits come from the extracting of poison from the rattlesnakes, which is sold at high prices to doctors, chemists and others. Physicians use this poison, after it has been prepared in a scientific manner, for the treatment of epilepsy and other diseases. It is known as crotalin. They also get a good revenue from the sale of live reptiles to museums and the sale of a pound. The established rate is 2 cents a pound. The serpent usually brings several dollars. The smaller, poorer specimens are killed and rendered into oil, which has a steady sale at $1 an ounce. SAW A MOVIE ONCE But Then a Church Elder Opposed Plan for Showing Films. Woodchoppers have come down from the north country of New Hampshire and expressed surprise that this country was at war with Germany, or that the war was over, but it remained for Arthur Shirley, elder of the Church of God at Manchester, to come forth with a surprise. At a meeting held to decide whether it was proper for Manchester to see a certain film production, Elder Shirley after the picture was shown and upon being invited to speak on its merits or demerts said: "I have never seen a motion picture in my life before, and I have lived in Manchester a good many years. I want to go on record as opposed to moving pictures, and will not approve this one." INSECTS TAKE BIG TOLL Yearly Loss to Crops Totals One Billion Dollars In United States Insects in the United States eat $1,000,000,000 worth of food annually, according to department of agriculture figures. This amount is lost each year because of insect depredations on various farm crops and fruits. In addition to crop losses, there is a large loss of live stock from such pests as biting flies, parasite flies, ticks, mites and other insects. Found Toads Deep Down While making an excavation on his farm in Bald Eagle township, near Lock Haven, Pa., and after digging through hard red clay to a depth of eight feet, Harry Eldred came upon two good-sized toads in a small pocket in the clay. On being exposed to the air the "hoppers" became quite lively. One no one heard of toads wintering under the ground to such a depth and Farmer Eldred is greatly puzzled to know how the toads got there and how they managed to live. The facts are vouchered for by Farmer Eldred. Minnesota Historical Society THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY: JUNE 14, 1919 TELLS OF FLIGHT ACROSS ANDES TELLS OF FLIGHT ACROSS ANDES 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 winding character of the few roads and trails. These handicaps seem only to stimulate the young South American to greet feats in the air and the governments to overcome them by establishing regulars as a matter of business. Together these forces are working a development of aviation in South America. The particulars of the recent flight across the Andes of Lieut. Dagobert Godyo of Chile, have come to the Paraguayan Union for publication in the next bulletin. As the ocean adventure will be the greatest straightaway 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 Mascias, 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. Bradley and Zuloga, two aerials of Argentina, a year ago crossed the Andes and Luls C. Candelaia crossed the southern ridge at a height of 2,000 meters from Zapata to Cunco still later in time. Godyo's flight was made from Santiago to Mendoza, a distance of 210 kilometers in one hour and twenty-eight minutes at a height of 14,700 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 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 motor. I had to change the carburization continually and regulate the Le 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-mounted 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, a palm of the horizontal slope, like a palm of the horizontal value and frozen, but hospitable, inviting, to sit and linger. But the impression fleeting. The Bristol told me I 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 loned 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. The plane seemed to be crazy. That morning there 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."

SA STANDARD UNIFORM OF MERCHANT MARINES 1917 The merchant marine apprentices wears a uniform of blue, but unlike that of the naval seaman in cut and details. This picture shows the trousers, reefer and cap that Jack the Merchant Mariner wears in cool in weather. The cap has on its band "United States shipping board." It is not a "pancake," like the navy cap, but has no "grommet" or metal ring, to protect the cap from sharp edge. The trousers lack the distress stitch of the naval sailors' "pants" and there are certain points of difference in the reefer. On the whole, the merchant sailor boy presents a tidy and seamless appearance in his best clothes. HOOVER WILL SPEND $178,000,000 IN RELIEF $2,000,000 for Special Care to Save Nursing Mothers and Children. In a recent report issued by Herbert Hoover, director general of the American relief administration, announcement is made that the relief program assumed by this organization will cost approximately $178,000,000. This program cover the relief of Poland, Finland, and the Baltic states, Czech Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Rumania and Christian and Jewish Turkey. Two millions of this $178,000,000 is being spent for supplementary rations and special care to save the children and nursing mothers of these nations. This work is purely charity. The rest of the relief work is either being paid for by the governments themselves or is being financed by the $100,000,000 fund appropriated by congress for this purpose. This fund is used to advance loans to those governments of the recently liberated nations which cannot offer the proper securities and otherwise would be unable to pay for the food they must have. The American relief administration has signed contracts with the various governments that are in need to furnish them with food of a fixed value every month until their need is satisfied. Already this organization has sent for the relief of Europe a total of 1,013,000 tons of American breadstuffs, fats, milk, clothing, and sundries. The tonnage was divided as follows: Breadstuffs, 826,329 tons; fats, 107,438; milk, 25,034; clothing, 7,534; sundries, 46,717. In Jugo-Slava, Czecho-Slovakia, and Romania alone, food to the value of $4,000,000 has been distributed. Although the need of these countries of relief from the outside is imperative at present, it is thought that most of them will be able to stand on own feet with the harvesting of this year's crop. The American relief administration plans to withdraw its support on July 1. With this end in view, Mr. Hoover has called upon the various governments which are now being helped to establish their own machinery for the rehabilitation of their economic life. DISEASE TOOK 56,630 YANKS More than Half of Deaths in Army Have Been Due to Sickness. An official report from the surgeon general's office gives the total number of deaths in the American army during the war to date as 111,179. Of this total, 56,630, or 51 per cent, were from disease, 43 per cent in battle or attack, 20 per cent in ambulance, and 6 per cent from other injuries. Of the deaths from disease, about 12,000 have occurred since hostilities ceased. Old-Time Rail Fence. A real old-time rail fence that is old indeed stands on the farm of G. J. Christian, near Horse Branch, Ky. It consists of about 35 panels, eight rails in height, and was built by Mr. Christian's father, S. M. Christian, before the Civil war. The elder Mr. Christian chopped the trees and split the rails out of which the fence was made in the days before the war. The fence is still sound and serves as well as a new one. INDUSTRY FACES GREAT PROBLEM Must Study New Science of "Industrial Physiology." HEALTH SERVICE TAKES IT UP Ask Improved Conditions for United States Factories—Keen Competition, Sure to Come, Makes it Necessary for Employer to Pay Attention to the Question of Maximum Efficiency—Conclusions Arrived at. Readjustment has brought American industry forcibly face to face with a problem which it long has shunned and avoided, according to officials of the United States public health service, to maintain keen competition, both domestic and foreign, which is to follow a settling down of business after the war, makes it necessary for the American employer to pay more attention to the question of maximum efficiency, officials assert. As a result of the changes which officials say are bound to come, employers of labor now must give some spud to the new science of "industrial physiology." Frederic S. Lee, consulting physiologist to the health service, says in a statement: Has Two Objects. "Industrial physiology has two objects," Lee says. "First, the purely scientific one of learning how the industrial worker actually performs his work, and, second, the practical object of establishing in the factories the conditions which conduce at the same time to the maximum of output and the maintenance of maximum power of the worker." Pursuing its investigations on the two bases, Lee reports that the health service has arrived at some valuable informative conclusions. Among the discussions the statement includes these: "Overtime following a day's labor is inadvisable, as is also Sunday work following a week's labor. These tend to destroy the worker's strength and working power. "The introduction of rest periods in the working spell is accompanied by a total increase in the day's production, especially when the working day is long. "Reduction of excessively long working days can be sure to result in a maximum increase in the output, and usually by a total increase for the day's production. Night Work Less Efficient. "Night work, in general, is less efficient than day work. Its total output is less than this, with a long work night, falls off enormously in the early morning hours. Vised: Alternate day and night work where such is possible and where night work must be done results will be more profitable both to employer and employee." "Women are capable of performing a much greater variety of industrial operations than has heretofore been recognized. Statistics show they are absent from their work more frequently than men. "Accidents to workers are a grave source of inefficiency. They are traceable to fatigue, inexperience, speed of working, improper lighting, high temperature and similar causes. Diminution of preventable accidents, then should be one of the first steps. "Food and efficiency are directly connected. One another, and a suitable and adequate food supply probably can be best insured by industrial caneens. "A high labor turnover is incompatible with the highest degree of efficiency. It is expensive, in that if imposes upon the employers the necessity of training new workers." GALVESTON PLANS SAFETY Entire City May Be Raised to Ten Feet Above Sea Level. On top of the $7,000,000 which the city of Galveston, Tex., spent since the great storm of 1910 in constructing protective sea walls and raising the grade, it is planned to expand an additional $9,000,000 in making the city still further immune from possible overflow from the Gulf of Mexico during the times of severe tropical storms. It is a grade raising project and contemplates bringing the height of the city of business section of the city to ten feet above sea level. It is a gigantic building undertaking and would involve the construction of water laden material from the gulf by dredges and pumping it into the city through long pipe lines. Many buildings would also have to be raised to conform to the new grade. Bandit Uses Wooden Gun. Thirty members of the American club at Aberdeen, Wash., are minus £1,500, having been the victims of two bandits, one of whom wielded a wooden gun covered with tinfoil. After the club members had been lined up and their money taken the bandits fed. Jailer Forgot to Feed Hungry "Count." Sergius Aprakin, claiming to be a Russian count, was arrested in Santa Barbara, Cal., and held in jail four days without food or water. John Spitler, night watchman, who made the arrest, forgot the prisoner was in jail, and the "count" almost starved to death. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. OCIT STEEL PROPELLER FOR USE ON AIRPLANES Prof. Morgan Brooks of University of Illinois Develops New Device. Morgan Brooks, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Illinois, has developed a practically noiseless, high-speed, steel airplane propeller, intended for direct connection with the highest speed gasoline engine, according to announcement at Urbana, Illinois. A considerable loss of power is now endured in the reduction speed gear used in all but the smallest airplanes, as airplane engines have a normal speed greater than the two-bladed wooden propeller can stand. This special interest to Brig. L. E. O. Charlton air attacker to the British embassy at Washington, who saw the models tested at the university recently. "The laws of air dynamics are sufficiently well known to make a test of a model almost conclusive as to the results to be expected from a full-sized propeller," Professor Brooks said. "At the same speed the thrust or pull of a propeller varies with the fourth power of a dimension, therefore the pull of five pounds found on test of an 18-inch model indicates a pull of 80 pounds of a propeller of 90 inches in diameter. The test was made behind standard speed, so a normal thrust was justified for a practice plane with only 80 inches a diameter, as compared to the 5-foot spread of the planes used in Chanute field, Rantoul, Ill." The particular advantage of a small diameter would be the lifting of the landing wheels to a position much nearer the center of gravity axis, thus making a poor landing much safer from avoidance of headers, not uncommon with the present type of planes, Professor Brooks said. Decorations are getting to be an every day occurrence in Washington these days. This photo shows Secretary of Navy Daniels pinning the distinguished service medal on Maj. Geo. K. Shuler of the marine corps, a former Washington newspaperman. Major Shuler also won the French cross of war and legion of honor. SAW OWN TOMBSTONE Maine Soldier With Canadians Read His Name There. Wilford G. Oakes of Patton, Me, who returned home after a remarkable record of service in a Canadian artillery regiment, had the experience, near Cambrai, of viewing his own grave, 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. In one battle when he was wounded he lost his identification card. His jaws were shot away, making it impossible for him to communicate his identity, and as he was missing from his company his death was finally reported. Other other soldier was buried under his name. A surgical operation gave him new jawbones, and today one has to exert his face carefully to find the scars. When young Oakes enlisted in 1914 he was seventeen, but his discharge papers gave his age as twenty-five years. This is because he was so anxious to enlist that he raised his age. Oakes has been cited for bravery and has received a medal of honor.

Is Told by Richard Spillane—Hardly a Property Over Which Goulds One Time Held Sway but Went to Disaster—Now Out of Western Waste Mighty Golden Shower to Goulds. Among the many old saws is the one that it is a long lane that has no turning. The Goulds have come out from the loss of disappointment, defeat and depression into the highway of big profits and big promise, writes Richard Spillane in the Chicago Post. Queer is the history of the Goulds, Old Jay Gould rose from a peddler of moustaches to the greatest manipulator Wall Street ever has known. Died leaving a fortune of $70,000,000 and a record without one constructive act and many of destruction. George J. Gould testified some six or eight years ago after his father's death that the Gould fortune, instead of being decreased, as generally supposed, had been increased up to that time. There can be no doubt, however, as to what happened later. The millions melted. Hardly a property over which the Goulds held sway but went to disaster. Look at a partial list of those that went bankrupt: The Missouri Pacific-Denver and Rio Grande, Wabash, St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Western Texas and Pacific and Western Pacific. Saved by Absorption. But for its absorption by the American Telephone and Telegraph it was inevitable the Western Union would have followed the others. Only the Manhattan "L" in New York continued to prosper. George J. Gould and the various other Goulds dropped out of the directorates of many corporations and, gradually, came to be numbered among the has-beens. And now from out of the western warehouse a mighty golden shower to the Goulds. The Texas and Pacific Railroad company never has earned a dividend. It has been a waft and a stray and a worry for 101 these many years. To every great corporation there are pendant little corporations. So it happens that to the Texas and Pacific there is a Texas and Pacific Coal company. This concern has certain land rights which were taken over by it to develop, for there is some coal in north Texas. This Texas and Pacific Coal company dates back to 1888. It never amounted to much until they struck oil in north Texas. Now the lands of the company are pock-marked with oil holes. The shares of the Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil company (they've added oil to the title) are quoted above $2,100 a share, this fact that the capitalization has been increased $100,000 on three occasions within a relatively short time. The new capital has gone to the old stockholders at $100 a share. The Goulds had T. & P. coal shores in their strongboxes along with no ends of stuff of little or no worth of other Gould properties that went to ruin. Now these certificates of the T & P. have an amazing value. How much of the $5,000,000 outstanding the family owns is not known outside a select circle. They couldn't sell their shares at $2,100 a piece. That is the asked price. But it is the confident belief that before the coal and the oil on the lands controlled by the company peter out there will be profits in excess of $100,000,000, or several hundreds of millions to divide among the shareholders. The Goulds have "come back" by a freak of fortune. REFUSED TO QUIT NAVY Yeoman Objected to Be Bothered With News of Big Fortune. A fortune valued at $2,000,000 has not lured Miss Bettie Fisher, a yeoman in Uncle Sam's navy, from her desk in Washington. She has announced that she will stay on the job until her work has been completed. Miss Fisher was busily engaged in her office when an Oklahoma attorney called and notified that she had been left the entire estate of her mother, Patrick McGowan of Meridian, Okla. He told the yeoman that all she had to do was to sign some papers. "I can't be bothered about signing any papers now," said the millionaires. "The yeoman are scheduled to parade and be reviewed this afternoon, and I can't let any legal matters stand in the way." After the parade that afternoon Miss Fisher signed the papers, then returned to her duties at the navy department. Mother Dies of Joy at Seeing Son.

William Monroe Trotter, according to a cablegraph received by the Boston Guardian has succeeded in getting be fore the peace conference at Paris, the address adopted by the National Colored Congress for World Democracy, which met at Washington, D. C., December 18, 1918, under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League. In the sixth and seventh columns of this page we reprint the entire address just as it was adopted at the Washington meeting. "NEGRESS" IS NAUSEATING. The following from the Chicago Tribune is a mainly protest against the use of a word which is particularly intensive to colored women. OBJECTS TO "NEGRESS." OBJECTS TO NEGRESS- Chicago — Editor of the Tribune. In two recent issues you published very fine and highly commendatory editorials on "Race Progress and Common Sense," yet, notwithstanding that, yesterday you state in glaring headlines the "Death of Mme. Walker, Wealthiest Negress." That word "Negress" is nauseating in the eyesight of all colored women and should be eliminated from the vocabulary, in which it has no rightful place. Above all, your paper should be the leader in this regard, if you really have the welfare of the colored race at heart. SAMUEL Z. C. WESTERFIELD. The colored men who persist in using "negro" as a race designation are largely to blame for the common use of a word which should be avoided. The colored people of the United States are Americans—that's all. The use of "negro" and "negress" is the cause of many discriminations against the colored people. The word "negress" is nauseating and so is the word "negro" when used as a racial designation for the colored people of the United States. "FOR NEGRO PRESS EXCLUSIVELY." THE APPEAL during the war patriotically published many pages of free advertising of Liberty Loans Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, Food Administration notices, etc., and at a great expense to the publisher. It was a duty which every American owed to his native land. THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cow The human race has test. Had no voice in injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheeler 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. We are now receiving a lot of copy headed (For the Negro Press exclusively) which will NOT appear in THE APPEAL. It is ridiculous to send out such stuff and really an insult to the colored soldiers, who fought for democracy. Thrift is a very important matter for ALL Americans, but it is not limited by color or race or creed and the identical matter should be sent to every group of Americans, unless it be translated into some foreign language for the benefit of foreigners who can not read English. The colored people speak the language of their native country—English. In the future as in the past THE APPEAL will continue to print a portion of the official matter it receives, but no jimcrow matter. THE APPEAL is not a "negro" paper. For years it has had at its business heading An American Newspaper An American Newspaper and that is what it is. THE APPEAL believes in Americanism for every American of every race, color or creed. To send out copy sheets prepared "exclusively for the Negro press" is an insult to the intelligence, patriotism and Americanism of 12,000,000 English speaking AMERICANS, who wish no special privileges. WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE WINS. The suffrage amendment permitting women to vote has passed the United States Senate and now goes to the state legislatures for ratification. The Southern senators fought the amendment to a finish. Senator Smith of South Carolina characterized the resolution as a "Pandora box of evil" and said a vote for it would be a "vote to turn loose on the South another era of race trouble." Senator Gay of Louisiana made the prediction that at least thirteen states would hold out forever against the amendment. Senator Brandage of Connecticut said, "the southern Democrats have been voting down the principle of self-government." The Connecticut senator spoke of President Wilson as having "see-sawed" on the woman's suffrage project, "with his usual facility for taking one side and then the other of a question." An amendment to limit the suffrage to white women, failed, receiving only 17 votes, including Senator Borah's, who was the only northern man to vote for it. The colored people of the country should note this fact in their political account books, where they have already recorded the fact the Borah some years ago voted to bar persons of the colored races from immigrating to this country. KILL THE BILL! THE APPEAL again calls the attention of the colored leaders of Illinois to a dangerous race commission bill now before the legislature of that state. It is class legislation and if not defeated may be the forerunner of jim crow enactments which will vitally affect the progress of the colored people. We learn that the colored representatives, Turner and Douglas, are opposed to the measure and we trust that Representative Roberts will join with them in preventing its passage. Every colored man who does not wish the fair name of Illinois tarnished by this class law should work for its defeat. "AN ALL-AMERICAN ILLINOIS." At the Peoria meeting of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs it was resolved to work for "An All American Illinois." That's a good idea and has the heart endorsement of THE APPEAL. The suggestion of Miss F. Wetmore of Chicago was also an excellent one: "I would suggest the establishment of institutes in the women's clubs to investigate such conditions and find ways and means for doing away with the isolation in which many of our foreign born now are living. Each clubwoman should have a foreign born woman friend. "We should work to do away with that attitude of superiority which we as Americans sometimes have toward the foreign born. The club women I am sure will be grateful for the friendship of foreign born women. The clubwomen also can help the foreign born to learn the difference between autocracy which means obedience and democracy which means responsibility." THE APPEAL further suggests that as there are at least 50,000 colored ALL-AMERICAN-BORN, in the state THE APPEAL once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against ce and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of older Wilcox. of Illinois, who are refused employment, subjected to many indignities and in some cases murdered on account of color—a dozen or more were killed in cold blood during the East St. Louis riots—and recently in Chicago, attempts have been made to blow up the homes of colored women who were superior in moral character, education and refinement to many of their neighbors, it would be well for the women who are so interested in foreigners, to go on record as being opposed to the wrongs which have been inflicted upon their colored sisters. The Illinois white women should also "do away with that attitude of superiority" which they sometimes have toward their colored sisters and "each clubwoman should have a (colored) woman friend." The foregoing suggestions if followed would be great aids in making democracy safe in the U. S. A. QUITS PREACHING TO BE CHRIS TIAN. The Rev. L. Paul Taylor, pastor of the Highland Park Congregational Church says a man can not be a successful minister and at the same time practice and preach the principles of the "Sermon on the Mount," and has resigned his pastorate at Detroit, Mich. He says: "I desire to live a Christian life, and that, it is impossible for me to do and at the same time be a successful minister." There are thousands of other preachers who would quit if they held the same high ideals as Mr. Taylor. Many of the white ministers break all of the commandments without a qualm of conscience and nearly all refuse to believe in the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." The colored preachers on the contrary are practically unanimous in their belief in the "brotherhood" matter, but there are entirely too many who are much too enthusiastically interested in the "sisterhood," and it would be a great help to the colored people if such brethren could be induced to change their calling. DR. CLANCY IS WORRIED Dr. Rockwell Clancy of the Methodist Episcopal Church is worried about the "menace" of Mohammedanism and Buddhism in American. Says he: "Thrice every day 8,000 followers of Mohammed in America turn their faces toward Mecca and pray. And where the American flag floats over the Philippine islands 340,000 persons are followers of Islam. Buddhism also had set up its cross legged god in our west. There are seventy-four Buddhist temples in the United States." Japanese brides-to-be are met at the ports in the west by Buddhist priests and the marriage ceremony is performed according to 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 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 Hartell one of the greatest of M. E. bishops, once Bishop of Africa, who spent many years on the African continent said that the superiority of the Mohammedan African over the Christian African was most pronounced. The Mohammedan held up his head and compelled respect; the Christian did not respect himself and of course did not command respect. Let us have more Mohammedanism or Buddhism or any other ism which makes for manhood. HAVE THE GOODS ON POLES HAVE THE GOODS ON POLES. 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, Chmolnik, Pinchow, Stupnich, 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 Ukraine. Another report said several thousand Jews were massacred in Proskuzow by the band of Hetman Linnow. In Hungary, the report continued, there exists a strong anti-Semitism, which "will undoubtedly be 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. 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 McCullum, the Presbyterians, as well as all other brands of orthodox alleged Christians of America. All claim to believe in the Faherhood 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. "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 convention of the league to be held in Philadelphia June 2-7. "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." Good for Mrs. Robins. "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 buoy with lynching and other devilty that they lose sight of the essentials of American citizenship. WHY NOT PROTECT AMERICANS? Former President Tatt 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.? THE WORKMEN'S QUERY Perhaps McAdoo thinks that since he raised the wages of railway employees the employees will always give him credit, and will bestow their consure upon any man who happens to be in control if wages ever come down again. But perhaps that won't be the workman's view. He may inquire why McAdoo didn't stick to the job and keep the wages up. It cost considerable money to send our army to France, and it will cost just as much to bring it home—make good your W. S. s. pledge. ROBERT R. MOTON. Neither R. R. Moton nor W. E. B. Dubois had the slightest idea that the other was planning to sail for France, December 1, until they met in Washington on a quest for passports, November 30. They sailed on the Steamer Orizaba and frankly discussed their agreements and disagreements. When they reached France, each went about his own business. Dr. Moton was sent by the President of the United States and the Secretary of War to see and talk to colored soldiers. Dr. Du Bois was sent by the N. A. A. C. P. and the Crisis to gather the historical facts concerning colored troops and to call a Pan-African Congress. On the night before Dr. Moton started out a colored man of national reputation and unquestioned integrity who had been in France six months took him aside and told him frankly the situation: the rampant American prejudice against colored troops and officers and the bitter resentment of the victims. Dr. Moton's letters gave him every opportunity. A special Army Order preceded him, which read: Dr. R. R. Moton, President of Tuskegee University, will be present in the Divisional area for the next few days. The Division Commander discharges the commanding officers render all possible assistance in inspection Dr. Moton desires to make. They will also see that he is accorded every opportunity to make any observation he may wish to make. He rushed around as fast as possible. He took with him and had at his elbow every moment that evil genius of the colored race, Thomas Jesse Jones, a white man. Dr. Moton took no time to investigate or inquire. He made a report of the situation, which is reported by a hearer, as follows: The address delivered by Dr. Moton to the men consisted of one or two jokes by a colored preacher, the assurance that the people at home were proud of them and the manner in which they should act upon their reverence upon the States, dwelling almost entirely upon them, be arraigned." After he had spoken to the men the major informed the officers that Dr. Moton desired to hold a secret conference with them. All officers congregated in the office. After being presented to the officers, Dr. Moton stated that he had been sent to France. From there he moved to Mr. Baker for the purpose of speaking to the colored troops. He also stated that he had just left Paris where he had been in conference with President Wilson and had asked the President his views as to the practical application of democracy toward the colored man. He ended by saying: "I was very much pleased with his reply but, gentleman, I can not quote the President." After Dr. Moton finished his talk on opportunity was given to the officers to inform him of the conditions that he would be sent to France, and he did not seek any information about the same from any of the officers after the conference ended. Dr. Moton then returned to Paris and met Colonel House, General Peral, and Colonel House told the writer that he would remain in Paris and that if he would, Colonel House would give him an opportunity to appear in person before the Peace Conference to speak for the black world. Dr. Moton refused to meet the writer and he then went to England and secured a audience with Lloyd George, Prime Minister of England. The destiny of the black race today is in the hands of England and the destiny of England is in the hands of Lloyd George. Yet Dr. Moton did not keep the boat but rushed to catch his boat in order to be present at the Tuskegee Conference. He sailed with Thomas Jesse Jones still watching him, and did not see the Pan-African Conference, which he had favored and promised to support. No one questions the personal integrity of Robert R. Moton or his kind. He can be one friend or face can look into the faces of face and not feel bitter disappointment. The Urban League. (From the Boston Guardian.) The Guardian has noticed the sneak their way to that the Urban League has taken to. The Urban League has taken to the Boston. We set a trap and all the walked in. As long as the Boston Urban League maintains the standard of New England and fights for liberty and justice in all things and sees to jobs that our young girls are given jobs that are real jobs and not to become the playthings of a certain type of white men we will say nothing. It seems that many people are of the opinion that because Trotter is in France trying to give them a man's chance instead of a dog's chance that anything can be put over. The young educated men are just as well educated and have a good experience to write and fight as effectively as he. We wish to be broad-minded hence we may appear easy, don't fool ourselves we understand the Urban League and its sinister, curvy favor, dog like attitude. We want to teach white philanthropists that pet blacks they would a French poodle. If these same white people would see to it that in the many corporations in which they hold shares that colored men (and I mean as Trotter said, those of discernible African extractors) do their decent job instead of a porter's job they would indeed be real Americans. We want to warn young colored girls of ambition that before teaping at a job in a sweat shop please see first that the shop is clean, alry and place to work in. Better to maintain good food and health, working at an inferior job rather than risk it in a sweat shop. Do not forget that the white laborer is after the capitalist. To dodge the issue these capitalists are anxious to use you. They will for colored Americans will come just as soon as Americans will sense enough to do real daming, real business and real thinking. Running a restaurant is not business, running a shoe shop is. If our ambitious girls and boys would go to the library and read Loughs Corporation Finance and read Loughs character you will come to very different jobs about jobs. It is nerve and push that our race needs not Urban Leagues. Colored Aviator Killed in Paris. Paris, June 4—The colored man whose death was reported yesterday from the effects of a blow received outside a Paris care was Eugene Bullard of Chicago. It is said that Bullard was struck by a white American He. Joined the French foreign legion at the Battle of the war and became an aviator.

Segregation lynching are essentially violations of that war war was fought. 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-Chief of our army and navy it was given to name the principles on which the winners fought this war, and its purpose. By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles of justice and world basis. Secondly these principles and alms were for the wiping out of autocracy, inhumanity and injustice, and for the establishment of world justice, world humanity and world democracy. Wrongs To Individual On World Basis For Redress. With the ushering in of the new year, 1919, the nations of the world are assembled to settle the terms of peace for the world, for the establishment everywhere of the principles for which this world war was waged by the forces of democracy. Therefore every dental or violation of justice, humanity and democracy has been ascribed to CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASIS BY A WORLD COUNT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a traitor, appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. S. Citizens by law of the United States of America, the famous Republic of the West, we first appeal to the civilized world for the discontinuance of a race or class discrimination in the world peace settlement. At this superhuman universal humanity, when wrongs to man should be banished, we must call war on cratic conditions under which every person of color is forced to live in this country. Because of race autocracy, our color in the Nation's Capital deserts of even civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection of our citizens by employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in many states of the country of every civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposition, deprivations, injustices, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than in Christendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynchings, essentially violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought. Self-determination For Darker Nations.

As many as half the credits required may be earned in this way. Students who seek university credit must be able to satisfy the entrance requirements of the University, but if they are desired, any one may register for these courses.

To have lived in this unfriendly world, for nearly a half century, and to have had the general good will and jesteem of one’s fellowmen during that time, is a very desirable heritage to leave behind. Such was the record of the late ‘William Henry Parker, whose funeral was held at the family residence, 679 St. Anthony avenue, on Tuesday afternoon of this week. ‘The deceased had been a victim of acute nephritis since the first of the year and was compelled to quit his Work as a railroad man the latter part of March, he, however, was a patient sufferer ‘and bore his pains with Christian fortitude until the end, ‘The house was packed to overflow- Jing with friends who knew him in life, and came to pay their tributes of re- spect, and the many beautiful floral offerings gave mute testimony of their love and sorrow. On Friday of last week, just before Mr. Parker passed into the great be- yond, Rev. Benjamin H. Hodge, pas- tor of Pilgrim Baptist church, learn- ing of his nearness to death’s door, al- ‘though never having formally met’ the family, called in his Christian minis- terial capacity, and offered prayer and consolation. “And; as Rev. J. C. An- derson, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, of which Mr. Parker was a member, was absent from the city, the family solicited his services for the funeral and their wishes were grace- fully complied with. | The funeral services were as fol- lows: Singing, “Asleep in Jesus,” |, Reading of Scripture Lesson, fol- lowed with prayer by Rey. Hodge. Solo, by Mrs. Gladys Brown, “Face to Face.” Reading of obituary written by Mr. J. Q. Adams, by Rev. Hodge: OBITUARY. ‘William Henry Parker, only son of Henry and Easter Parker, was born in Independence, Mo., April’ 2, 1873, and lived there during ‘the early portion of his life, Subsequently he lived in Kansas City, Mo., for some years, and then moved to Bemidji, Minn., and re- sided there five years. In December, 1906, he was married, in Chicago, to Mrs, Sophia A. Harris, mother of Earl A. Simon P., Ceasar and Carrie Harris, all of_whom sur- vive him. ‘The deceased was a most devoted husband and seemed to have as the main interest in life the welfare of his family. He was as devoted to his four step children as if they had been his own and cared for them in such a way as to'gain their love and devotion in return. Earl and Ceasar are overseas doing their bit as loyal Americans. Simon is living here with his wife and three children. His step daughter, Carrie, became the wife of Richard L. Stokes in January, 1915, and he and his wife made their home with them until his death last Saturday, June 7th, at the age of 46 years, 1 month and'5 days Mr. Parker was a man that made many friends by his lovable and con. genial disposition, and held them, and during his illness of six months, these friends did everything they could con ceive of for his comfort and pleasure The deceased had been a Christian and a church member for many years and just about a week before his death he transferred his _membershit to St: James A. M. E, church.
