NEW POLICIES ARE PLANNED Federal Government Perfecting New Forms With Many Advantages Which Insured Men Will Want in Place of Present Contracts. Washington.—A busy place these days of demobilization is the bureau of war risk insurance of the treasury department of the United States, with its 14,000 employees and its files containing 30,000,000 records. Demobilization is having the effect of making a large proportion of the soldiers become transient for an indefinite period after leaving the service. Many of the original addresses of these men become useless, as thousands forget to leave forwarding addresses and neglect to write to the bureau. In this way many men are losing touch with the bureau and are neglecting their insurance. Hence the efforts of the bureau to keep in touch with demobilized men are increasingly difficult, as demobilization progresses. Every possible agency is being used; including the Red Cross and public organizations of many kinds. Uncle Sam is perfecting plans for the new forms of government insurance which the demobilized soldier will want in place of his war risk insurance which cannot change his war risk insurance for his new insurance unless his monthly premiums are paid up to date on his old insurance. Advice to Soldiers. The advice which is being sent out from the bureau of war risk insurance to the soldiers who have left the service may be summarized thus: Hold on to your war risk insurance. Keep up your premium payments. If you have permitted your insurance to lapse—even if you have formally canceled it—hasten to reinstate it under the new and liberal provisions for reinstatement. Write for advice or information to the "Insurance Division, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C." Give your full name and your address, your rank at the time of applying for insurance; if in the army, your army serial number, the number of your insurance certificate, if known. In sending check or money order for your premium, make it payable to the "Treasurer of the United States" and moll it to "Premium Receipt Station, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C." Uncle Sam provided every soldier, sailor and marine with a right to a policy for $10,000. If you can't keep all of it, keep at least part of it. You can reduce it if you have to. You can convert to a government endowment policy which will assure financial comfort in later years. All policies issued by the government contain a total disability clause, making them payable at any time you may become totally and permanently disabled, regardless of your age. Disabled, more often, after his return to civil life, may engage in any occupation, no matter how hazardous, without affecting his insurance. No physical or medical examination is necessary for the conversion of policies. Your government insurance is protected from the claims of creditors. Neither you nor your beneficiary ever will have to pay a cent taxes to the government on the proceeds of your government insurance. You may pay your premiums by the month, without having to pay anything extra on account of additional expense to pay for your premiums. Or, if you prefer, you may pay quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The government pays all the expenses of running the business. You may have the whole month in which to pay the premium for that month. If you fail to pay and your policy lapses, you may get it back through provisions for restatement. Cash and Loan Values. After one year the new government policies will have guaranteed cash and loan values, also paid up insurance and extended term insurance values. The "cash value" of a new government policy is the amount the government gives you if you choose to give up your insurance. The "loan value" means that you can borrow money on your policy up to 94 per cent of the cash value. "Paid-up insurance" and extended term insurance policies "meet the government's requirements" if you stop paying premiums after one year, the government allows one of the following options: (1) To remain insured for a certain time without cost to you. (2) To receive a policy for a smaller amount, which will be paid, no matter when you die, and on which you will not have to pay any more premiums. One of the most valuable features of a government insurance policy is that it provides for the disability of the holder, as well as for his death. When for any reason you become totally and permanently disabled, you not only do not have to pay any more premiums, the government pays you the full monthly sum called by your policy every month, no matter how long you live. LIMBS SELF ACTING "Kinematic Surgery" Developed to Extraordinary Degree. Italian Physician Achieves Remarkable Results in Fitting Artificial Legs. Bologna, Italy.—Remarkable results have been achieved in Italian military hospitals recently by the use of what is known as "kinematic surgery," the invention of Professor Putti of Bologna university. Professor Putti's methods have aroused intense interest on the part of American doctors attached to the Balkan commission of the American Red Cross who are supervising the artificial leg factories already established and being established in Athens, Salonikl, Begrade and Bucharest for the war's mutilated. At present allied soldiers in the Balkans who have lost their limbs are being fitted with artificial limbs and arms of a type similar to that employed by Sarah Bernhardt. Professor Putti's methods, however, are a distinct advance over all other artificial appliances. His treatment of amputated limbs consists of a unique preparation of the stump to develop a "motor" end to the cords which, after being bound together over a smooth "bearing" of bone, get as much as a three-inch travel of the leg by means of a reeducation and co-ordination of the muscles of the stump. After the stump heals Professor Putti cuts out a flap of flesh, which he folds back into an incision to take the flap. This is allowed to heal and then through the loose flap of flesh a metal bar with attachments to operate the artificial limb below is suspended. The muscles of the calf and thigh readily respond after some weeks to the movement of the artificial leg, and soon the pressure of the swinging of the artificial leg re-educates the muscles through the flap of flesh, so that it may be said the muscles of the stump actually operate by themselves the mechanical features of the artificial limb. In the case of a severed hand the muscle groups surrounding the bone are to operate catut cords which, in turn, operate artificial fingers. Not since the introduction of "debridgement" in American army medical work in France has any medical innovation created as much comment. 60-Foot Bone Found in Canadian River Bed Winnipeg, Man.—A huge bone, 60 feet in length, recently was unearthed along the banks of the Deer river in Alberta, according to information received here from A. J. Gayfe, divisional engineer of the Canadian National railway. Mr. Gayfe says the bone is thought to be part of the skeleton of a dinosaur and an effort will be made to find the other parts. KEEP JAIL ARTIST'S WORK Dough and Sump Dummy Head Left Behind in Sing Sing Is Sent Yonkers, N. Y.—After being officially photographed, the ingenious "dummy" John McAllister, Sing-Sing's artist burglar, left behind in his cell when he escaped, was added to the prison museum. The head was molded of soap and dough. He used his talents not alone to mold it with features copied after his own, but he covered it with hair from his own scalp and stuck on more hair where the eyelashes belong. With his brush he painted a complexion. In the habit of wearing black sleeveholders when he plied his brush painting or designing, he completed the deception by putting them on the dummy's arms. HISTORIC CHURCH TO PASS Apartment Hotel to Occupy Site of First Episcopal Church in New York.—The historic First Reformed Episcopal church, Madison avenue and Fifty-fifth street, is to be torn down. The Supreme court has just rattled the covenant of its sale. A large apartment hotel will occupy the site. The congregation will retain possession of the building until November. Then a building in the vicinity will be leased and the activities of the parish will be reorganized along broader lines than at present. The rectorship of the church was made vacant by the death in France of Rev. Dr. William Dubose Stevens, who was serving as a 'Red Cross chaplain. No effort will be made at this time to fill his place. Find Ocean Dusty. New York—Is the ocean dusty? Marines aboard the U. S. S. Pennsylvania, now in port here, will say it is. "The salt in the air crystallizes on the decks and bulkheads," Corporal William H. Allen explained to a reporter. "It is then ground under foot dusty, so that, although we throw a lot of cans of dust, there is the same amount the next time we sween down." THE APPEAL. Good Chickens Are Profitable Investment Washington, D. C.—The story of Reuben Lowe, of North Shoreleigh, Me., illustrates the possible profits from poultry keeping where careful management is practiced. During 1913 this poultryman, who devotes only part of his time to chicken raising, kept 250 birds, which paid him a profit over feed cost of more than $1,000, equivalent to $4 a bird. Included in this amount are the sales of a few eggs for hatching, about 30 cockeels sold for breeding purposes each, as well as the market eggs for which he was placed in large quantity. Mr. Lowe keeps White Wyandottes of a strain that wins in the show ring when judged according to either the standard of perfection or a utility standard. One pen of 20 pullets owned by this Maine poultry raiser produced eggs as follows: November, 1918, 413; December, 1918, 418; January, 1919, 380; January, 1919, 326; March, 1919, 456; a total of 1,993 eggs, averaging 99.65 eggs per bird in five months. It pays to keep poultry of this kind, and growers everywhere are coming to realize that there is more money in keeping better fowl and feeding them properly balanced rations than in wasting time with inferior birds. WRITES NOVEL OPERA Has No Characters, but Represents Ideas for Which Men Have Striven. Rome—Pietro Mascagni, known to everyone as the composer of "Cavalieria rusticana" and numerous other musical works, has written a new opera, "Il Piccolo Marat," which is characterized here as distinctly a revolutionary step in operatic works. It contains no personalities as characters in the story, but it substitutes for them symbolic representations of virtues and ideals similar to the American pageant. "I expect to produce my new opera next winter in Rome," said Signor Mascagni to the Associated Press correspondent. "The theme is founded on the conflict of the ideas between the autocrat and the democrat, between oppression and freedom. The time of the opera, of course, is not limited to any one period. The opera is symbolic of many periods and would just as readily apply to the stirring times of the American Revolution as to the French revolution, or the Russian or the Bavarian. "I have no characters in the production representing any particular personalities. There is no Napoleon, Methelium or Orginale. My characters represent the ideal for which men have endeavored to keep man in subjection. There is a character for justice, for truth, for freedom; and, on the other hand, for tyranny, for ignorance, for wrong. The plan in my new work has been to depict in song the evolution of man from a slave to a free man through the instrumentality of characters representing the abstract qualities for which man fought, and, on the contrary, the qualities he fought against." SEEKS TO CUT LIVING COST Freer Imports, Restricted Exports Considered by French Cabinet as Solution. Paris.-The French government is considering the problem of the high cost of living and the cabinet took up the question at its meeting. Accordingly Paris the government is considering the issuance of the decree opening the frontiers immediately for the import of necessary raw materials. The Figaro says the government is discussing the prohibition of the export of certain foodstuffs, such as butter, eggs and cheese. Other newspapers say the government will propose a law inflicting very severe penalties on food speculators, which has been in effect since the beginning of the war, was discussed in the chamber of deputies. FRANCE TO TEACH DOCTORS New Body Will Work for Permanent Relations With United States. Paris.-The Tempes announces that an organization has been formed with the object of establishing permanent relations between American and French physicians and surgeons. Several commissions have been appointed by the organization. One of these will have in charge the establishment of a course of teaching for American physicians visiting France, and another of founding a bureau of information. A third commission will examine into means of organizing an exchange of articles on medical and surgical subjects between the journals of the United States and France. Defective Page TELLS LOST SHIP WHERE SHE IS System of Triangulation Will Give Bearings to Bewildered Craft. Operators at Radio Stations Figure Out Position of Boat by Compasses—Used in Navy for Years New York—Not the least of the dangers attending the business of being a mariner has been that of losing one's bearings while at sea. Time was when the sailor's life was, more replete with danger than in these days of advanced maritime efficiency. But though the ocean terrors were eliminated one by one until there remained little to be afraid of, there still was the disconcerting possibility of a ship losing itself; of fogs and compass irregularities; of mishaps to instruments and disabilities of steering mechanisms. Thus every so often a liner or freighter or a warship was reported "lost in the fog" or "out of its course." The United States naval communication service has perfected a system of triangulation that has eliminated the possibility of further maritime reports of this sort. It is not the discovery of any one man. Indeed, it truly cannot be classified as a discovery. It is simply a perfection of a basic rule of position finding that has formed the possibility of range determination in the army and a straightforward geometric theorem concerning intersecting lines. System Explained. The perfected system has been in use in the American navy for a year. At 44 Whitehall street the system was explained briefly by attaches of the New York district central controlling radio station. It is to be assumed that a ship is a hundred miles off the middle Atlantic coast. She has lost her bearings. Her navigators are unable to tell her latitude and longitude. At once the bewildered ship's radio flashes the American coast a demand to be told the data she needs most: "Where am I?" The request coming within the sector for which the New York district central controlling radio station is responsible, the appeal is received by five radio compass stations located at Montauk Point, L. I.; Fire Island, Rockaway Beach, Sandy Hook and Mantoloking, N. J. Each of these stations is connected with 44 Whitehall street by telegraph and telephone. These radio compass stations cannot communicate with the "lost" ship, as they are receivers only and not transmitters. However, each of these stationless stations notifies the central station in Whitehall that a ship within the district is demanding to know its location. Immediately the central station radios the bewildered mariner to continue fashing his call letters for at least thirty seconds. And at the same time the radio compass stations begin obtaining bearings on the ship. the operators in the five stations turn their compass wheels until each has an accurate bearing. These five readings are transmitted to the central station where, on a huge chart, the five readings are combined. Each reading will indicate a certain number of miles between the ship and the station that took the bearing. It is a relatively simple matter, then, to project these lines upon the chart until the five lines intersect. And that point of intersection is the location of the calling ship. Acknowledgment from the ship completes the operation. Every American port is now being safeguarded by just such systems of radio compasses and central stations. Within a few months, at any point along the coast, mariners will be able to approach channels, reefs and shoal waters with an absolute assurance that they will not proceed too near, nor yet exercise such great caution as to throw them out of their course. At the danger attending for banks eliminated. Leutenant Commander R. B. Coffman, U.-S. N., is superintendent of the central station at 41 Whitehall street. Lieut. M. W. Arps, U. S. N., is in direct charge of the New York district. Just a Quiet Smoke, But It Shook Some. Topeka, Kan. — Clouds of smoke coming from the women's waiting room at the Rock Island depot here caused the patrons of the room to make an investigation. Over in the corner, smoking a clay pipe peacefully, was an aged woman, all unconscious of the excitement she was causing. When the matron told her it was not the place to smoke, the aged woman calmly went outside the depot and completed her smoke. She said she came from the mountains of Kentucky and was on her way to Nebraska. System Explained. Then Its Simple. SAVED BY U. S. FOOD Destitute People of Roumania Are Grateful to America. Timely Arrival of Supplies Prevents Growth of Bolshevism and Revolution. Bucharest.-American flour and clothing are saving the lives of thousands of destitute people throughout Roumania. The United States food administration has already brought into the country nearly 20,000 tons of flour, while the American Red Cross, which has a large mission established here, is distributing clothing and general relief supplies of all kinds among the needy population. The flour from America arrived at a time when conditions were at their worst and when local supplies for the Roumania people were almost exhausted. The people were that the want of food would result in a state of bolshevism and revolution. This American flour has been a tremendous factor in preventing the unrest. From its relief stations established at Bucharest, Jassy, Constanza, Galatz, Focasani and Pittest, the American Red Cross is distributing its supplies, and in every important village an American Red Cross soup kitchen is helping to feed the population. Queen Marie, who has taken the greatest interest in this relief work, has assigned Prince Carol to co-operate with the American Red Cross. Col. W. Anderson, Red Cross commissioned to the Balkans, said that three large arrangements of relief supplies was already arrived in Roumania, and that the fourth war on its way from Toulon, so that the American Red Cross would soon be able to care for every destitute person in Roumania. TRAINED WORKERS ARE BEST Do Much More Efficient Work In Face tissues Than Those Without Tissue Washington.—Information reaching the training service, department of labor, from establishments where factory training systems are in operation indicates that foremen, after brief experience with the training system, insist upon having trained workers in their departments, for the reason that they do much more efficient work than those who are put into the factory on production work at the start. Many workmen also ask for training, in order to increase their earning capacity, and so valuable has training proved for peace time that last week 17 factories adopted training systems, a number almost equal to the average installation of training departments during the war. In one large plant there was a feeling of capability to training at the start on the part of a number of foremen. When the first graduate of a training department was put on production work within the workplace, was found fully qualified for production work, the foreman insisted that the worker was exceptional. Under the old system from three to six months were required before workers were able to produce the quantity and quality of work required for a fair day's output. When a considerable number of persons had been promoted to production work after a week or ten days in training, however, the foreman's views changed very radically, and they refused to take any applicants for work who had not had the advantages of the training system. At one time, when the training department was full, a new hand was sent at once to the factory for production work, and the foreman protested vigorously. Soldier Bewails Bride Wedded to Him for Glory East Orange, N. J.-Ole L. Robinson, who won his wife, Ethel Crowell, daughter of J. O. Crowell, the New York publisher, by tales of heroism in France, sat disconcertedly in jail and mourned the absence of his helmate, who allowed the charge of robbery against her husband to creep in between them. "I thought my wife should at least have come around to see me," he said. "I expected much of her. We were getting along nicely until I had trouble with her parents. I now realize that Esther did not marry me for the man but the glory." He is eighteen, still indicted he was four months in service in France and had been a messenger attached to General Pershing's staff. While at the front, he says, he fell from his horse when shrapnel exploded near by and was invalided home, suffering from shell shock. Sppport Health Work Washington.—"Public health is purchasable," says the United States public health service, and adds that a first-class health protection service can be provided for one dollar per head per year. In fact some city health departments render excellent service at a cost of 75 cents per head. Let's together and give better support to health work in this community. TO STUDY IN SWEDEN Exchange of Students Planned With United States. Freed From Dominance of German Schools, Ten Will Take Swede Specialties. New York—Proof that American and European students are alike freed of the dominance of German learning and German universities is found in the fact that an interchange of students between this country and Sweden has been arranged by the American-Scandinavian foundation of New York. According to plans of this organization for the next academic year ten young Americans will go to Sweden for technological study of an advanced nature and ten Swedish students will come to the universities here. The Americans, to receive $1,000 each as fellow students of the American-Scandinavian foundation for 1919-20, have been chosen for the foundation by a committee of technical experts and professors. The men appointed are G. Frank of Princeton, N. J. Princeton university; Harry F. Yancy of Urbana, Illinois; University of Missouri; Chester C. Stewart of Wilmington, Del. Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Harry W. Titus of Laramie, Wyo. University of Wyoming; Robert S. Sessions of Worcester, Mass., Worcester Polytechnic Institute; Clarence N. Ostergren of Hoboken, N. J. Sheffield scientific school; William S. Holby of Boston, Mass., Yale Forestry school; Harry M. Meloney of Syracuse, N. state; State University of Syracuse university; Ralph E. Zetterstrut of Munhall, Pa. Sheffield Scientific school, and Thomas Fraser of Urbana, Il., University of Illinois. Four of these men will study chemistry, two hydro-electrical engineering two forestry and two metallurgy, in all of which subjects Sweden excels. Aviators Count Herds of Canadian Caribou Ottawa—Avistators who have flown over the barren lands of Canada say that there are at least 20,000,000 caribou there. The information comes from more than one flyer. In the spring the herds migrate to the north, returning to the winter in a dry, dry try over which the herds range is a wild, desolate region, without timber, and the climate is very severe. WOMEN EMPLOYES ARE GOING Returning Service Men Receiving Old Positions Back — Females in Clerical Work May Stay. Washington.-Steady reduction in the number of women employed by railroads is taking place as the result of demobilization and the return of soldiers to their old jobs. From the high mark of 101,785 women employees, on Oct. 1, 1918, the number was decreased 14.3 per cent by April 1, when 85,393 were still on the payrolls. The first women to be let go were those engaged in heavy work in roundhouses and shops. In the clerical occupations, such as ticket selling, where 72 per cent of the women were used, reduction has been small, 68,119 still being employed, many of whom will likely remain permanently. Statistics compiled by the Railroad administration show that 5,000 women were employed in shops and 1,000 in roundhouses in 1918. IS WAR TO BLAME FOR THIS French Dandies Now Addicted to Powder Puff and Affect Wasp Waists. Paris—Wasp waists for men are the thing in Paris this spring. Corsets may or may not be worn, but the coat must make an elegant curve at the watelline. A few dandies are sporting a skirt-like flow below the waist, but Andre Loe Fouqueres, the Bean Brummel of the town for ten years, declares that the smartest men must discard the skirts and have the bottom of the coat cling tightly around the hips. More startling than the masculine watelline is a post-war addiction by dandies to face powder. Many men are now using the powder puff, dab- bing themselves quite openly with tan powder, which gives the appearance of trench burn to drawing room habitues. FIGHT ALASKA FISH PIRATES Submarine Chasers Patrol Ports to Protect Property of Fishing Companies. Juneau, Alaska—Submarine chasers under the direction of Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., are patrolling the fishing ports to protect the fishing companies' property from fish pirates. One of the tenders of the Thulnet Packing company, according to a wireless message received by Governor Riggs. The tender gave chase, but the pirates escaped. Another message said that in a clash between the canners and fish pirates one pirate was MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY $2.00 PER YEAR LABRADOR COAST SWEPT BY DEATH Smallpox and Spanish Influenza Play Havoc With Eskimos. BODIES DEVOURED BY DOGS Moravian Missionary Tells Almost Unbelievable Story of Sufferings in Northern Labrador—Mode of Living is Fatal. St. John's, N. F.—Spanish "fiu," smallpox and measles wiped but more than one-third of the Eskimo population of Labrador during the months of November and December of last year. The Rev. W. W. Perrett of the Moravian mission at Hopedale, where he has spent 27 years, reached the Newfoundland shores a few days ago. He told an almost unbelievable story of the sufferings of the Eskimos of northern Labrador. Shortly after the mission ship Harmony had left the coast at the beginning of "fiu" broke out at Hebron and spread rapidly among the inhabitants. That the disease was contagious was unknown to the Eskimo, who were living in small huts, and whole families were affected and died off. Bishop Martin and those at the mission did what was possible under the circumstances, but they, too, were stricken, and when the epidemic had passed its course only eight children, five women and one man of the native population of 100 were living. Mad Dogs Eat Human flesh. At the outbreak the dead were buried almost as soon as they piled away, but the entire settlement became ill, the victims were left where they died, those who had recovered in the meantime being too weak to lay them under the ground. Households who had succumbed one by one were left unburied, and the dogs, who were unable to procure food because the hunters had been all ill, became mad and entered the cabins, consuming the flesh from the bodies of the dead. When it became known that the epidemic was raging, some outside assistance arrived, and an effort was made to give the dead Christian burial. The dogs, however, after consuming the human flesh, became wild, and it was impossible to undertake putting the corpse in the frozen ground. The next best thing was to bury the corpse at sea. Before even this could be attempted the few remaining at Hebron were compelled to shoot the dogs, as even the living were not safe from them. While this horror of death and suffering was going on at Hebron, a like epidemic was raging at Okak. The Eskimos, as in Hebron, huddled together in their small huts, quickly became affected, until the whole population was stricken or dead. The daily death rate was the highest families dying within a few hours. The mission all the while was unceasing in its work for the afflicted, but they also fell victims to the disease, which meant that the Eskimos were left helpless. When the new year dawned only a few emaciated Eskimos were found to be alive. Mode of Living Is Fatal. Mr. Ferrett said that when the Eskimos were stricken, their mode of living and environment was against their surviving. As soon as the illness fell upon them they were obliged to take shelter in the small, stuffy huts, where there was neither fresh air nor sunshine, and here they remained until they died. They were also without seal meat and fats, which are necessary for sustenance in cold climes, having been overtaken by the epidemic just as the hunting season opened, and their constitutions thus weakened, they became easy prey to the scourge. Many who had recovered from their illness died later for want of nourishment. BID BY FRANCE IS TOO LOW Offers Only $300,000,000 for United States Material—May Be Sold Elsewhere. Washington.—The French government having offered only $300,000,000 for American army equipment in France, costing $1,500,000,000, the department has ordered a sales organization for the property be formed in France, Director of Sales Hare told a special house committee investigating war department expenditures abroad. Director Hare said the French offer was made to Chairman Parker of the United States liquidation committee. The offer, he stated, included all material, including ship docks, railroad works and equipment, automobile trucks and textiles. The company did not pay a fair figure, the director added, "we will take the stuff out of the country and sell it elsewhere."

THE RECENT RACE BIOTS. Many factors have contributed to cause the race riots in Washington and Chicago, and the ways of intense race hatred now sweeping the country. The principal ones are: 1. The absolute failure of Christianity. The American Christian Church has neither taught nor practiced the doctrine of the brotherhood of man, but has actually fomented racial animosities. Before the awful color line Christianity stands dumb. 2. The present Democratic Administration now in the saddle at Washington has encouraged segregation and all kinds of injustices to the colored people, including the colored soldiers who risked their lives; and, in thousands of cases, for the supreme sacrifice for their native land. The treatment of these heroes in France by the United States military authorities is the darkest chapter in the history of the world war. 3. The South plued at the emigration of its colored labor has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in formenting race troubles in the North, so that Atlanta when charged with lynching and other atrocities could shout back at Chicago, "You're another." NEW ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION. Although it is not particularly needed, Illinois is to have a new constitution. The people, by vote, have decided that, and the constitutional convention will meet next January with 102 delegates, two chosen from each of 51 senatorial districts of the state. The rewriting of the basic law of the state is a matter of supreme importance, as upon its action depends the regranting or rescinding or all the inherent and inalienable rights demanded by freedom in any republic—the right of free speech, a free press, trial by jury, the protection given by the writ of habeas corpus, the right to give bail, the right of peaceful assembly, etc. The colored people, knowing the great danger to their rights which the new constitution may mean, have joined their forces and forced the Republicans to nominate two strong-walled qualified men—Edward H.

Carey, minister—in a district in which 80 percent of the voters are colored, so their election is assured, and that they will give good accounts of themselves goes without saying. NO FREEDOM FOR FILIPINOS. The Republican leaders in Congress have reached a decision to postpone indefinitely the question of granting independence to the Philippines. The Porto Ricans, who also have been clamoring for independence, have been satisfied for the time being by promises of congressional action to relieve them of conditions they find irksome. Having laid these specters of self-determination in our own family closet, for the time being at least, Congress will be able to give its time to the question of Irish independence. In other words Congress refuses to act upon questions clearly within its jurisdiction and is preparing to meddle with the internal affairs of Great Britain. HINDU SPURNS TITLE. For hundreds of years the native people of India have been oppressed by their conquerors, the British. The first great revolt against British rule was in 1857. This failed and the gentle British punished the ringleaders of the plot by tying them to the mouths of great cannons and blowing them to little bits. In recent years the spirit of revolt has again been gaining in strength, but when the great war came the East Indians entered the conflict and fought with their oppressors to make the world free for democracy. The natives are asking for home rule, but instead of getting that, the restrictions are more onerous than ever, and 300,000,000 defenceless people are kept in subjection by a British army of 100,000. Rabindranath Gagore, the famous Indian poet and humanitarian, in a protest against the repressive measures adopted by the British government in India, has asked to be relieved of the title of Knighthood conferred upon him by King George. AN INFAMOUS STATEMENT Dr Clarence True Wilson, "general secretary of the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals," of the Methodist Episcopal Church, ought to be very careful in the stuff he hands out to the public for he has just made a statement which is not wholly true and which is an insult to one group of American fighters. On the authority of Deets Pickett, research secretary of the board who has just returned from Europe, the assertion is made that drunkenness, dishonesty, immorality and the association of French women with colored men, are some of the causes for their "dissatisfaction" with France In another column of this issue of THE APPEAL will be found a letter from a St Paul man who is now a soldier in France (thousands of such letters have been received from colored soldiers), which shows that the alleged "Young Men's CHRISTIAN Association" drew the color line, and colored soldiers were continually insulted by signs reading, "For White Troops Only" There is no color line in France or any other European country, not even in Germany. The French people treated the colored Americans as if they were human beings. There was no patronizing. They were treated like men because that is the custom in France. On the contrary the white American soldiers continually insulted and mistreated their colored brothers in arms. To infer that the relations between respectable French women GOD GIVE US MEN.

It is said that the French demi-mondainnes preferred the colored men, and this plumed the white Americans. They did not object to the sin, but the fact that the female sinner was a French woman and the male sinner an American colored man. The averate white American accustomed to the infamous, abnormal, unChristian, and really unAmerican color line, can not grasp the psychology of the French people who not only have no color line but cannot comprehend its meaning. France which gave to the world the Dumas, pere et fils, judges men by merit not by color. France is true to its motto. "Liberte, Egalité, Fraternité." "SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY." A well-known colored resident of St. Paul who is serving in the United States army now in France sends a letter which gives an idea of the present conditions which surround the colored soldiers who fought "to make the world safe for democracy." As the censorship has not yet been lifted, we withhold the name and address of the writer for fear that he may be punished for sending the letter, which follows: Somewhere in France, June 4, 1919. To the Editor of THE APPEAL: I am writing to let you know what our boys are doing in France and what is being done to us. We landed at Sainte Nazaire, a city of 40,000 people, and trained a while under great odds. We were then ordered to the front and were getting ready to go when the armistice was signed. We all wanted to go, as there was not a man in the whole division who had a streak of yellow down his back. We are now located at —, France, that is two companies, and the Medical Corps and the other companies are at different places. The two companies are in charge of two large mess halls and can feed about 8,000 men in about 25 minutes. The men in the Medical Department look after the sick in the camp and examine the troops that are embarking for home. What we are doing here is not appreciated, and there is a great deal of segregation over here. In some places you can see in large letters signs reading FOR WHITE TROOPS ONLY. At the white "Young Men's Christian Association" in camp a colored soldier cannot buy anything and when you attend a movie show you are roped off. And why? Just to satisfy the Southern white man. The colored soldier has caused less trouble than any other soldier in this country. Something ought to be done. We have done our bit toward world democracy and we must enjoy a little of it. We are going to demand it when we return. No doubt you have heard of the faults of the Y. M. C. A. and they are true in the respects that I state. I hope you will take this matter up with some men who have political influence and make an investigation of the things which exist over here before it is too late. There is another thing we should like to know. Why are colored troops being held in France and then not allowed to enlist in the Army of Occupation? You see, these are the things which confront us daily. Always something to hold us down. Our only friend in need is the Red Cross. It is the best organization in France and is everywhere the soldiers are. The service is good and the prices for their canteen are cheap, and every man who wears the O. D. uniform is the same to them. This is also true of the Salvation Army and the Knights of Columbus, and when me this demands true faith and ready hands; does not kill; cannot buy; d a will; who will not lie; demagogue atteries without winking! live above the fog thinking. —J. G. Holland. these organizations appeal for money they need it and I hope that everyone one who is able to subscribe will do so. Yours very truly. It is outrageous that the conditions should exist and appeals should be made to the powers that be to right these wrongs. So far as the Y. M. C. A. is concerned, THE APPEAL has never had any faith in it. It is one of the greatest fakes the world has ever known and has probably done more to cultivate race hatred than any organization with the word "Christian" as a part of its title. REV. B. N. MURRELL. Writes an Interesting Letter to The Appeal. From Paris, France. Rev. B. N. Murrell has written a letter to the editor of THE APPEAL from which the following facts have been condensed: Peace having been declared he will shortly return to America. Since leaving St. Paul, his health has been the best and every day has been spent in service to the soldiers furnishing remarkable experiences. He plans to join his wife in Washington and may visit St. Paul, has several offers but has not decided where he will locate. He says that all of the 30,000 dead soldiers at Beaumont, Thiancourt and Ramange cemeteries were buried by colored American soldiers, no white man helped to move one. "A lasting debt of gratitude is due to the colored soldiers from American citizens." He says that many statements that have been made by speakers and writers, who were not actually on the ground, are not veritable facts. Having worked in the Verdun sector four and a half months I know the dead there tell a correct story. “I have spent ten months on the Western front. It has given me a fairly general acquaintance with sectors from Switzerland into Belgium, but the facts at hand compel me to speak guardedly. All units alike who faced the Germans have left here on the field, proportionately, their silent representatives.” ROBERT B. MOTON (From the Crisis.) 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 1, when he met the Orient 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 State on the occasion of colored soldiers. Dr. Dr. 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 to the United States, he 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 every opportunity. A special Arm, 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 did all possible assistance in all possible assistance in any visit or 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 by a hearer, as follows: The address delivered by Dr. Motom 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 return to the United States, dwelling almost entirely upon the phrase "Not to be arrogant." After he had spoken to the men the major informed the officers that Dr. Motom desired to hold a secret conference with them. All officers congregated in the office. After being presented to the officers, Dr. Motom stated that he had been sent to France by President Wilson and 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 in the United States, but ended by saying: "I was very much pleased with his reply but, gentlemen, I cannot quote the President." After Dr. Moton finished his talk on opportunity was given to the officers to inform him of the conditions that had existed in France, and he did not mention Moton relative to same from any of the officers after the conference ended. Dr. Moton then returned to Paris and met Colonel House, General Pershing and others. Colonel House told him that Moton would remain in Paris and that 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 appear and then went to England and secured an 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 England. Moton did not keep his appointments; 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 come as a car to the Pan-African Conference, but he favored and promised to support. No one questions the personal integrity of Robert R. Moton or his kindness, in position, but to one friend or foo, can be bitter, but face it, and not feel bitter disappointment. ABYSSINIAN BLOOD IN EUROPEAN ROYALTY. Editor The Appeal: The presence in Washington, D. C., of a delegation from the Abyssinian government is of historic and scientific interest. Gibbon, in "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" recognizes the Abyssinians as black Negroes. For centuries these peoples have maintained the Coptic form of the Christian religion against the strong Mohammedan influence of both Egypt and Asia. At the battle of Adowa, in 1895, the military forces of the Abyssinians defeated an Italian army of 10,000 men, under Gen. Bolderossa, defeating Italy's attempt to conquer their country. The Abyssinians use modern military equipments. Alexander Pushkin, the only poet in Russia has ever produced, was the first to write a direct and lineal descendants of Pushkin have married into the wealthy and royal families of the British empire, and incidentally, breaking the back of the great Charles Darwin's biological theory, "reversion to type"—or, as the common people say, "taking back." The rock bottom facts in this case, the diametrically opposed to this signet of the Darwinian imagination If the now reigning family of the British monarchy should become extinct, the next heir to the throne would be the Prince of Battenburg, the accomplished wife is the direct descendant of Pushkin. She would be the queen of England and Empress of India. "MY COUNTRY IS THE WORLD." It was in 1833, on July 13th, that William Lloyd Garrison, speaking at Exeter Hall, London, England, uttered the mournful words: "My country is the world; my countrymen are all mankind." Garrison's words are the ones which will be treasured by the ages. They are sparks from the fire within him. They illuminate his breadth of mind, his Catholic spirit and his indomitable courage. In the summer of 1833, ever active and resourceful for the freedom saint, he visited England. By the end he had become a national character. The Liberator, the anti-slavery organ, which had as its motto, "Our Country is the world, Our Country-men Mankind," was two years old. He had been imprisoned in Baltimore, the Georgia legislature had offered a reward for his head, and on his way to his home in Connecticut, he was pursued by a sheriff with writs for his apprehension. But he reached London safely. It was his first trip to the world's metropolis and in company with his coworker, George Thompson, he was shown some attention by the anti-slavery element in London. Garrison was the accredited agent of the New York-based colony society, and his object was the collection of medical training schools for the youth of African blood in the United States. Another object was to combat an African colonization scheme, to which Garrison was firmly opposed. A meeting was arranged for the American champion of the American slave at the Great evening of July 13th. The great evening of July 13th. Garrison was introduced by George Thompson. He began thus: "Mr. Chairman, it is long since I sacrificed all my national, complexional and local prejudices upon the altar of Christian love, and breaking down the narrow boundaries of a selbanner this motto: "My country is the world; my countrymen are all mankind. Should Open the Doors to Opportunity A circular sent out to employers in a large city, calling attention to the number and quality of young colored men trained in the schools of the city, and asking co-operation and counsel in making their services available, brought one reply which though anomous is significant of an opinion still to Africa, instead of mixing them with us." As the expression of an individual desire these two points are of course admissible, but as practicable measures it is curious that any intelligent person should seriously entertain them. Does any one suppose that the United States could be sent to Africa, if they were sent they would go? So long as they are here, and have already been mixing for more than a century, and have the rights of citizenship, including the right to die with white men for their country, is it any chance that they would have an intrinsic leadership to open a few more industrial doors to their proved abilities and usefulness? While we write, a moving man is unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the boss, the white men take his orders. There is no doubt that he would never be trouble if it were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. Not "Nigger"—Not "Negro." Bishop Wilbur Thirkeld, in discussing colored Americans in the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and in his reply to Irvin S. Cobb, says: "The writer means well, but he does not mean that term 'nigger' that has persisted as a term 'ery' and has in it the sting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro, must go." The Bees asserts that not only the word "nigger" but the word "Negro." We are American citizens, the same as you, although our skin may be dark. The white man manufactured both terms and colored Americans perpetuated, and colored Americans perpetuated. For God's sake, give both terms a rest. Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one-tenth of one per cent of the colored Americans can trace their descent to the American people, no more right to call all colored people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. "Negroes and Dogs Not Allowed" (From the Nashville Clarion) Down in Houston, Texas are some elevators in public buildings labeled "NEGROES AND DOGS NOT ALLOWED." Generous Classification! Such sign as these account in such measures as the fact that in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a soul. They have hearts and souls and human beings, just like the people of other races.

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 the United States, the principles of the war, the principles on which the winners fought this war, and its purpose. By his declaration, accepted by France, Britain and the rest openly before the human race, the principles and the aim of this war were put upon a world basis. Secondly these principles and alms were for the wiping out of autocracies 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 become a matter FOR CORRECTION AND ABROGATION ON A WORLD BASIS BY A WORLD COURT. Hence Colored America, which furnished 400,000 brave soldiers for this war backed by over 12,000,000 loyal citizens without a traitor, appeals to the allied World for justice and Democracy in the peace settlement. Utterly Undemocratic Treatment Of Colored People of U. 8. A. Citizens by law of the United States of America, the famous Republic of the West, we first appeal to the civilized world for the discontinuance of all military examination in the world peace settlement. At this supreme moment in the unanimous military action when things to man should be banished, we must call world attention to our 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 deprives us of every civil right except in public carriers and subjects us to rejection or to the restriction of the Ghetto as employees of the federal government. Otherwise our color in many parts of the country deprives us of civil, political, social and judicial right; subjects us to obloquy, imposition, punishment, cruelties, cruelties, atrocities, worse in degree than exist anywhere else in Christendom. Segregation in public carriers, disfranchisement, lynching and violations of that world democracy for which the war was fought. Self-determination For Darker Nations.

Else There Is No "New Day."

ACKNOWLEDGMENT A Loving Tribute of a Devoted Husband to a Departed Wife. Having been unavoidably delayed in getting this message to the press yet I feel that it is not too late to thank the public, and her many friends, for the services rendered and kindness shown at the death of my wife, Mrs. Evelyn Johnson, who departed this life July 16, 1919. It is with a heart full of abiding gratitude that I acknowledge the marvelous expressions of love and tender sympathy so generously and befittingly shown to me during the bitterest cup that drinking from the bitterest human lips. So many were the friend, ministered to me during this dark time that it is impossible to individualize; their memory will live enshrined in my heart forever. The funeral services were held at the family residence, 1011 Charles street, on Monday, July 18, Rev. T. J. Carr officiating and who spoke very beautifully of her life and work while a member of Memorial Baptist church. Several beautiful songs were sung by Mrs. T. J. Carr, songs requested by my wife to be sung at her death. I sincerely thank you all and trust that you will accept my appreciation for the same and that of the others who took active part in the services. I also thank those who so willingly came to thank you to pay their last tribute of respect to her who only a few months ago was among them. It showed that while she was among us she was not alone, but that she had a host of friends, both colored and white alike who mourn her loss.

May her work work in life in this city never die, nor be forgotten, but may the good done by her live on and on until the "Perfect Day." I feel that her work will be worthy of imitation who are left behind.
