CHILDREN ARE GIVEN CHANCE TO WIN GENUINE WAR TROPHY Hand Grenades, Made for Fighting Purposes, Offered as Receptacles for Funds to Be Used in Purchase of Thrift or War Savings Stamps. TO BE READY FOR FREE DISTRIBUTION SOON Thousands of Grenades Coming to Banks of Ninth Federal Reserve* District to Be Given Out—They Become Property of Children Who Fill Them and Invest Contents in Thrift or War Savings Stamps VOL. 35. NO 32 CHILDREN ARE GIVEN TO WIN GEN Hand Grenades, Made for Fighting for Funds to Be Used War Savin TO BE READY FOR FRI Thousands of Grenades Coming to trict to Be Given Out—They B Fill Them and Inve or War Sav School children throughout every part of the Ninth Federal Reserve district are to be given the chance this summer to win as a war trophy an actual hand grenade, made for fighting purposes. At the same time they will receive a direct and practical lesson in thrift and prosperity under the plan which has been evolved by M. E. Harrison, director of the district War Savings organization and his ales. The grenades, in accordance with the idea of a thrifty spirit in Washington who was unwilling to see so much good material go to waste after fighting stopped, have been made into savings banks. Just a slot cut at the top and a screw inserted at the bottom of the bank to have clinched things in tight trench and dugout fighting has become a weapon against the forces of extravagance. The grenades are being bought by banks everywhere in Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana and the Michigan coastlines in the ninth district. The banks, the banks, the banks, the grenades to all children under 17 years of age who apply. The Hand Grenade Savings Bank—Life Size child, must, however, pledge himself to save regularly, to put his savings in the grenade, and, when it is full, to bring the grenade to the bank which loaned it to him and to buy Thrift or War Savings Stamps from that bank with the contents. The reward of the child who borrows the little Grenade bank and saves systematically will be twofold, for he will receive the grenade as his own property as soon as he has saved enough to buy one of the War Savings Stamps of $5 maturity value, and at the same time he will be receiving training in the habit which will be there and borrow a hand Grenade savings bank. Ray C. Teuscher, executive secretary of the War Savings Organization said yesterday. "We want every child to go to the bank their parents use, sign the thrift pledge there and borrow a hand Grenade savings bank." Ray C. Teuscher, executive secretary of the War Savings Organization said yesterday. "We want every child to realize that by saving now he is placing himself on the highway to prosperity and independence in later life. At the same time he is proving himself, or she is proving herself, he is a little patriot, the kind American, like we are proud of, such an American we as the whole world is praising today. "Banks of the district are purchasing the Grenades freely. The cost to them is but a few cents each and they can afford to give them to the child who saves and buys a War Savings Stamp, for it is probable that each child will grow up to become a steady patron of that bank. If the thrift habit takes of him he will be so thankful in later life that he will be likely to patronize the bank which did him so great a favor as to start him right." The director of War Savings added a woman. THRIFT IS POWER BUY W.S.S. SAVE AND SUCCEED children that the grenade savings banks they are to receive are real war trophies, even if they have been made over a little. Hundreds of thousands of them were all packed ready for shipment to Europe when the armvette was signed. They stood a long time and war department officials told of seeing they were so darned explosive and everything. Then a treasury department man got the idea of removing the powder and caps and remaking them into saving banks. "So," said Mr. Harrison, "every bank is a real trophy of war and if the war had continued each one would have exploded in some enemy trench or dugout. The hand grenade savings bank plans by banks of the country districts was proved three days after a first announcement was sent out. Orders, accompanied by cash, for more than 50,000 of the grenades were received from banks in a single morning. And all these are to be given to children as soon as they save for and buy one War Savings stamp. In all, War Savings expects that at least 200,000 of the grenades will be distributed. That will represent the neat saving of more than $1,000,000 by Ninth district children alone between now and the time school starts. Children who are members of school savings societies may go to banks when school opens and get a certificate showing how much they have saved during summer be credited with the amount in their standing in their schoolroom War Savings Society. ORGANIZATION UNDER WAY Directions for the organization of War Savings Societies under the United States treasury plan in every industrial plant in the Ninth Federal Reserve district have been sent to all county directors of War Savings. In many counties the work is already under way. In these the county chairmen are now to complete the work with all speed by forming War Savings Societies in the remaining industries. M. E. Harrison, district director of War Savings, has urged county chairmen in the other counties to start forming societies at once. The organization is trained organizers of War Savings Societies in busy forming societies in the larger cities of the Ninth district. As soon as that has been done these experienced men will be at liberty to finish the work of organizing industries in all other counties. The plan under which War Savings Societies are being formed is simple. A meeting is called in the plant during which the importance of thrift and investment in War Savings Stamps is explained to all employees. Those willing to take part, usually everyone, are then asked to sign a membership pledge, sometimes promising to buy a fixed amount of stamps weekly or merely to buy stamps. A president of War Savings is appointed and one or more secretary named. The secretaries each have a fixed number of persons on whom they daydream, giving them an opportunity to buy Thrift stamps or War Savings stamps. It is desirable to have plenty of secretaries, according to Ray C. Teuscher, executive secretary of the district War Savings Organization. The secretary who has but 15 employees to call on each week is more likely to finish his work than the one with 30 on his list. If there are 30 employees two secretaries should be named so that every earner may be through investment in War Savings stamps or Thrift Stamps. "The Ninth Federal Reserve district has responded 100 per cent or better to every national effort and we purpose to do the same this time." Director Harrison said yesterday. "We are using Minneapolis as a model and there is every indication that every industry in that city will have one or more War Savings Societies by August 1. St. Paul and Duluth are to be organized with the same thoroughness and by fall we intend to attain the same district's ninth district' county. Minnesota, western North Dakota, Montana, western South Dakota, Minnesota, western North Dakota, northern Michigan are will to receive the same thorough attention."

Elementary Schools of Near East Make Study Compulsory Soon Will Displace French as the Language of Diplomacy and Business. Island of Crete.—The English language promises soon to displace French as the language of business and diplomacy. All through the Near East the Anglo-American influence has resulted in thousands of elementary schools instituting English as a compulsory language. Even in the Mediterranean Isle, the home of Premier Venzelos, instruction in the English language has been arranged for. American scientific agriculturalists are now completing a survey of the soil possibilities of Crete in the same thorough fashion in which they surveyed the Greek mainland. Cretan soil is somewhat exhausted by centuries of cultivation without replacement of soil food, but with an abundant source of water supply in the mountains and available fertilizer it is heavier much of it will respond to proper treatment. American farming machinery and up-to-date methods are needed, and arrangements have been made to systematically Greece and its largest island so that they can increase their yield of crops. Maj. C. G. Hopkins of the Illinois agricultural department, and Lleuent. C. J. Bouyoucs, a native Greek educated in America and a former instructor at Michigan Agricultural College, are in charge of the agricultural survey of Greece and Crete. About five thousand refugees from Asia Minor are sheltered and fed on the Island of Crete. These are distributed in the large towns of Canda, Retimmo and Canae, and in the small towns of the interior. American Red Cross representatives have visited these refugees as well as the civilian and military hospitals on the Island of Crete, in addition to investigating the conditions of the Greek soldiery returned from German prison and the townspeople of the island. The greatest needs of the inhabitants of the island are an institution for the treatment of tuberculosis, medicines and medical supplies, blankets and staple foods. Prospector Wants to Dig Up Old Gold Bar Topeka, Kan. — James Foreman, 68, one of the old pioneer settlers of Salina, created some comment there when he declared that there was a bar of pure gold beneath the street car track on Santa Fe avenue—that it was a bar of gold taken from him in the early days and buried. He is now in Salina for the purpose of getting the gold, but he can't get permission of the president of the street car company to do any digging around the tracks. Foreman says the president of the car company Knows exactly where the bar is, because he told him. He says he has been cating a sister and a brother of Foreman in Indiana, and they have been notified to look after their brother. In the meantime the county is keeping Foreman and paying the bill of expense, but Foreman says when he gets his bar of gold he will repay the county and have a comfortable fortune left. **"women'农奴" Onions.** Tried to teach the women in is reported to be making greater headway among the working women than among the men. Enemy Learned Valuable Secrets No Matter How Carefully Guarded. Germans Sent Smoothest Secret Service Men to Camp on Trail of Americans as Soon as They Landed. Paris—American newspaper correspondents abroad are now permitted to relate some of the troubles the Americans experienced with the great German spy system. No army in the world war had a harder fight against the smooth-working, far-reaching Teuton esplosion system than did General Pershing's warriors. The Germans concentrated a large number of spies against the Americans immediately after the first Yankee contingents landed in France and augmenting their numbers. The American war was made the object of the spy espionage because the Germans recognized that, if the war continued until the summer of 1918 and then lapped over into 1919 it was the American army that would figure largely in allied operations. They wanted to find out what kind of an army Pershing had, what the morale of the individual soldiers was, what the staffs were planning and what disposition was being made of army troops behind the western battle front. Hard to Keep Secrets. In spite of all precautions and in spite of contre-esplosion forces, German agents undoubtedly collected a large amount of information and tries to supplement other odds and they had picked up from American sources, from the reports of their land and air observers and from other sources. Officers tried hard to keep the Boche from learning that one American unit had been removed from the line and supplemented by another. That was information that the German intelligence officers wanted for their "order of battle" maps, by which they kept track of the exact disposition of all enemy troops in the line and reserve. One night elements of the Seventy-seventh division, from New York city, slipped quietly into line in the Bacarct sector, relieving other units of the Forty-second division, which entrained for the west to help repel Hindenburg's last great offensive. There was every need for secrecy. But when men of the Seventy-seventh peered across "no man's land" at daybreak they saw hoisted from the German trenches this sign, printed in English: "Good-boy, Fort-second division! Welcome, Seventy-seventh!" There were other instances of the same kind; but other things was not all one-sided. Often the Boche knew that Heinle was slipping in to the fit, the number of the outfit and just what kind of stuff its men were made of, and they made important use of that information. Much Trouble in Alsace. American troops that saw service in the mountainous Alsace country had the greatest difficulties with the spy evil. Behind the Franco-American lines were a large number of people who were German-born and who retained their sympathies for the kaiser. The country offered unusually good opportunities for spies because of its hilly, wooded nature. On several nights, when American troops were entering the trenches to relieve other units, rockets and colored lights shot up from hills behind the American front. The German artillery promptly responded to this tip by pounding the American communication trenches, and the artillery fired with men passing forward. The hills and woods afforded such excellent hiding places that it was next to impossible to attempt to trap the men who had touched off the lights. The situation in Alsace was all the more difficult because the French government desired to avoid offending the Alsatian villagers by making arrests. ITALY DEMOBILIZES 2,200,000 All Men of Classes Between 30 and 45 Included In Number Dismissed From Service. Rome--Nearly 2,200,000 soldiers of the Italian army have been demobilized since the signing of the armistice, according to a statement just issued by the government through the Stefani agency. Of this number there were 225 general officers, 75,000 officers of the staff and line and 1,700,000 enlisted men. The latter comprised all the men of the classes between 30 and 45 years of age and men of the remaining officers who were released for special reasons. The remaining效力的 of the Italian army in service approximate 2,000,000. Aged Man In Airship Wabash, Ind—Jack Higgins, one hundred and one years old, of this city is thought to be the oldest man that has ever taken a ride in an alrship.

Miss Josephine Marie Kelly of Chicago, who is now in Athens as a member of the American Red Cross, is receiving marked attention from King Alexander of Greece, whom she met last January at a tea given in the home of Greek friends. King Alexander, according to the story, made no attempt to conceal his admiration for the attractive American girl. Since their first meeting they have, according to report, been seen together at a number of functions attended by both. Will the king marry the American girl? That is the big question perplexing Athens society. IS MUSICAL PRODIGY Boy Leads Orchestra at the Age of 13 Child Who Astonishes Europe Born in Maine of Italian Parents. Rome.-Willy Ferrero, aged thirteen, who leads 100-piece orchestras in selections from Wagner, Beethoven, Rossini, Greig and others, is an American and was born in Portland, Maine. The child has acted the attention of Europe since he was four years old, but it was only recently that his American birth was revealed by his parents, who are Italian. The father told the Associated Press correspondent that Willy carried an American passport, but that his name thereon was William Ferrero, a name he had chosen for him while he had worked in Maine when the child was born. The father said that at the age of two the lad was brought to Italy, whither his parents were returning to take up their residence in their old home in the Folies Bergere, in Paris. A year later he appeared in the Costanza theater where for the first time he led an orchestra of Wagner. The program was composed of Wagnerian, Beethoven and other heavy selections. The child took his orchestra before Emperor Nicholas in 1913 and conducted two concerts for the monarch. In the same year his orchestra was filling an engagement in London, and he was commanded to appear before Queen Alexandria of England at Marlborough house. He appeared before Pope Benedict XV, in 1916. In April, 1915, just before Italy's declaration of war, Willy was presented with the gold medal by the Italian ministeration after he had made a successful announcement to the Anglo-塔aume, where he had conducted an orchestra and chorus aggregating 500 participants. All the players in the orchestra are men of long experience. FIRST GERMAN LEVY ON $1,200 Beginning at That Point Graduate Taxes After Property In Country Copenhagen. — Mathias Erzberger, German minister of finance, has issued a statement, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Tildene, that the proposed levy on property in Germany will begin at 5,000 marks (normally about $1,200) and will be graduated up to 10 per cent for property valued at 50,000 marks ($12,500). The rate will become higher with property in the valuation of which is above this limit, until it reaches 65 per cent on property above 3,000,000 marks ($750,000). The levy will be payable by installments extending over thirty years, beginning with January, 1920. SHOOTS PIGEON, PAYS $47.50 St. Louis.—Shooting a single pigeon has cost Philip Hommel of Belleville a total of $47.50. The pigeon ate some of Hommel's garden seed and vegetables. Hommel killed it. Then Hommel got into an argument with Anton Sehlinger, owner of the bird. He brought a charge of threatening to kill against Sehlinger. Justice Lautz ruled against Hommel in each of the four cases and the plaintiff was compelled to pay the costs, $36.20. Then Sehlinger sued Hommel for disturbing the peace and Judge Lautz assessed a fine of $5 and costs. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. NAVAL BOATS DO PERILOUS WORK --- Government to Take Census of Game Birds Washington, D. C.—To gather up-to-date and reliable information on the present condition of game birds and animals in the Western States, as compared with previous years, the United States department of agriculture, through its bureau of biological survey, has sent blanks to thousands of hunters, and has asked that they be filled out with as complete and definite information as possible. Recently, 1,000 of these blanks were sent to a selected list of hunters in all counties of Washington state. The information which will be obtained from the replies, together with that supplied by the field representatives of the bureau, will give the information on the game bird and animal population of that state. The bureau has already issued reports regarding mammals and birds, including the game species, of Wyoming, New Mexico and Colorado. Information for reports is now being collected in the states of Montana, Arizona, Wisconsin and Washington. SEEK COLOMBIA MART American Business Men Invading Southern Republic. Hope to Open Up Country That Has Been Long Closed to Our Trade. Washington—Advices from Bogota say American business men are invading Colombia for a commercial campaign and are confident the pending Colombian treaty will be ratified by the United States. By the proposed treaty Colombia is to be recompensed for the loss of Panama. The Colombian people felt hostility toward the United States for the part it played, and for a long period the Colombian field was particularly closed to American business. With the end of the European war, American business men swarmed to Colombia. American business men were not far behind them. The Call chamber of commerce, on the west coast, has received notice from the United States food administration of a projected visit by a commission of business men prepared to negotiate a new system of business credits to meet the needs of Colombian men. This will be the beginning of a new era in trade with South American countries, it is said, for the chief complaints of the Latin-Americans against the methods of the United States concerns has been on credits and packing, and the commerce and commerce has issued orders to assistance to the Americans in the handling of their samples by remitting custom duties, and special transls will be put at their disposal to visit various sections of the interior. The party will stop at the port of Buena Ventura, where extensive improvements are being planned submitted by American engineers. American interests are concentrating on the west coast of Colombia because of its proximity to the canal. IS HIT AS SNAKE CHARMER Abyssinian Flings Blings Anaconda Around Wake It Wake It for Visitors Washington. — Duke Dodjazmatch Nado, a member of the imperial Abyssinian delegation now visiting this country, picked up the huge anaconda in the Washington zoo and calmly shook the sleeping reptile into consciousness. Onlookers gasped. The delegation was visiting the zoo, where specimens of the wild beasts which were sent to former President Roosevelt from Abyssinia by Emperor Menelik II are quartered. They had paused by the cage of the anaconda. It was asleep. One of the party expressed a desire to see the snake move and the guide prodded it with a stick, but it dosed on. When further proddings failed to disturb it Duke Nado thrust his hand into the cage and, taking the reptile by the throat, shook it until it quivered and squirmed into wakefulness. Then he quietly tossed it to the far end of the cage. His act gave the party a thrill, but the duke's modest department indicated that snake charming is no novelty to him. MAY DOUBLE POTASH PRICES German Syndicate Asks Permit to Meet Deficit and High Costs. Welmar, Germany.—The potash syndicate has asked the government to grant permission to raise the price of potash 100 per cent owing to the increased cost of production. The syndicate says it has a deficit of 48,000,000 marks ($11,500,000) for the first three months of this year and declares it will be forced to shut down unless it can increase its selling MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY EAR DO WORK $2.00 PER YEAR Yanks Are Clearing Mine Field 200 Miles Long and 45 Miles Wide. MAKE NORTH SEA SAFE AGAIN Task Almost as Dangerous and, From Viewpoint of Shipping, as Important as Hunting Submarines London.—Eighty United States navy mine sweepers are busy in the North sea at a job almost as dangerous and, from the viewpoint of shipping, quite as important, as hunting submarines. They are clearing away the largest mine barrage in the world. This barrage, nearly 80 per cent American-made American-lad mine, is about 200 miles long and 45 miles wide. It closes the North sea from Scotland to Norway. The task has already resulted in a casualty toll of four vessels damaged, one officer killed and others wounded. The U. S. S. Bobolink, the first victim, had her stern blown in by an exploding mine. Leutenant Bruce was killed. Several other officers and men, knocked overboard, were rescued. The U. S. S. Patuxent was badly damaged about the stern and the U. S. S. Rail slightly damaged. All were of about 1,000 tons. The fourth was a smaller boat. Captain Sexton, United States naval chief of staff in England, said the Americans are getting "hep" to the undertaking and overcoming many of its difficulties. Thus far the fleet has covered an area containing 4,000 mines. Of these 45 per cent have been accounted for. Where the remaining 65 per cent are not accounted for, the mines hunt would keep the sweepers busy until October or November. It involves a personnel of about 2,500. When the word was first mouthed around through the ranks that American gobs were going to pick up the mines they helped to lay a short time before, the general opinion was that it would be one of the most thrilling jobs yet. And no one has been disappointed. Equipped with maps showing approximately where every mine was dropped, the fotilla started out in twox, each pair dragging a cable between them. **Mines Sown In Strings.** The mines, the map said, were sewn in strings. All the sweepers had to do was to straddle the line, pass from one end to the other, and the cable, between them, would do the rest. Of course, the particular mine in question wouldn't be the only one to go off. The concussion would always set off others immediately adjoining, and probably still others adjoining these. These two exigencies were provided by the map under the "zone of extreme danger," "zone of possible danger," and beyond that "zone of safety." In addition, there would be a few other mines free-lancing in all three zones. The first few days were rather disastrous. Captain Sexton and his staff in London began to dread opening the morning's dispatches. Gradually, with Yankee resourcefulness, the Americans seemed to be getting on top of the job, until now Captain Sexton is confident they are going to clean up the assignment with minimum losses. MAN DIES FROM BITE OF CAT Aged Pennsylvania Farmer Takes Pasteur Treatment Hydro- complex. Combs. Pittsburgh.—Although he had received the Pasteur treatment in Mercy hospital here, Levi Kurtz, aged seven-one, a farmer of Enon Valley, died of hydrophobia in Providence Hospital, Beafer Falls, from the bite of a cat which clung to him so tenaciously that it had to be hacked to death to release the farmer's hand. Hearing a commotion in his chicken coop several weeks ago, Kurtz investigated and found a cat chasing the chickens. As he tried to seize the animal it turned on him and sinks its teeth deep in the flesh of his left hand. The farmer struck the cat with his free hand, but was unable to dislodge it. Neighbors responded to a call for help, but they failed to force the animal's jaws apart until one man severed its head with an axe. Kurtz, fearing hydrophobia, came here and remained two weeks, taking the Pasteur treatment. He was discharged; supposedly immune, at the end of that time. Elsie Janis Adopts Boy Who Fought in War New York—Elise Jansis signed papers which make her the foster mother of Michael Cardi, fourteen, an Italian orphan veteran of the war, who landed here as a stowaway on the transport Madonna from Marseilles six weeks ago. Miss Jansis put up a bond of $5,000 to insure that Michael will not be a public charge and the lad is now at her home in Tarrytown. --- Mines Sown In Strings. PHONE: N. W. CEDAR 5649.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1919. NOT A WHITE MAN'S COUNTRY. One Beauregard Moseley of Chicago, a colored man of local prominence presumably in order to be patted on the back and called a "good negro," in an address at a colored meeting during the riots informed his auditors that, "this is a white man's country." He was promptly rebuked and we trust he'll know better next time. No, this is not a "white man's country." It is true that the white man stole it from the Indians, and also stole some colored men who were free in Africa, brought them over here and made them slaves to work the stolen property. Three hundred years of unrequited toil gives the colored man a better title to the land than the white man's. The colored man knows no other land; he speaks the vernacular of the country; he has fought in every war to preserve its integrity; has has always been loyal though deprived of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." The colored people of the United States are not aliens; they were all born here. They are Americans and as Americans have their share in our common country. FAKE DEMOCRACY OF U. S. A. The Twin City Reporter, published in Minneapolis, whose motto is "Iconoclastic—but 'Destructive' Only to Hypocrisy, Fraud and Sham," has a four column editorial comment on the recent race riots, which is a strong defense of the colored people and a vigorous denunciation of the mob spirit at present dominating the U. S. A. We quote one paragraph: "For decency's sake, for civilization's sake, for humanity's sake, let's have an end to burnings and hangings and lynching bees and race riots or else let us cease jabbering about our civilization, our 'Christianity' and our democracy." BROKEN HEARTS REPAIRED. Broken hearts are being mended in Russia now—not the hearts shattered v unfortunate romances, but the val- organs pierced by knives. Time first kind, and the skilled Prone in the road he lay. Wounded and sore bestead: Priests, Levites past that way, And turned aside the head. They were not hardened men In human service slack: His need was great: but then His face, you see, was black. From the New York Independent. surgeon Zelder, can be depended on to operate successfully on the knife-torn heart. Dr. Zelder has a little hospital at Obuchow. Thirty-one persons brought to the hospital with hearts pierced and slashed by knife wounds have successfully had their organs repaired and have recovered entirely, to all appearances, from their remarkable experiences. One patient has lived seven years and shows no signs of having been affected by the heart wound and subsequent sewing up. The foregoing statement is going the rounds of the press as something new and remarkable, yet human hearts were repaired more than 20 years ago and it was a colored man, Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the famous surgeon of Chicago, who first successfully operated on the human heart. On the authority of Deets Pickett, research secretary of the board who has just returned from Europe, the assertion is made that drunkness, 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 THE LOWDEN COMMISSION. THE APPEAL is not enthusiastic about the Race Problem Commission appointed by Governor Lowden of Illinois. The governor is a very doubtful quantity on the race question and it is possible that he would appoint jim crowists if such a body were named, and its findings would be of no value in the matter. As a matter of fact there is nothing to arbitrate. The colored people are wholly within their rights as citizens. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that segregation is unconstitutional and if a jimcrow commission recommended a plan for "voluntary segregation, it would stand for something illegal. From what we learn the attempt is to be made to get the colored people to agree to their own segregation but we do not believe Illinois colored men will do so. If any, attempt is made to segregate, the colored people have the whiphand and can prevent any such action by appealing to the courts. "MISTAKEN FOR NEGROES" During the recent race riots in Chicago, about half a hundred, Mexicans, East Indians, Malays, Cubans, Porto Ricans and other peoples of dusky hue were mistaken for "negroes" and either insulted or badly beaten. There was not such great mistakes after all, as the majority of these peoples have a percentage of African blood. On the contrary not less than 20,000 colored Americans, often called "negroes," some as fair as ilies went unmolested through the streets of Chicago. It was one of the queer incidents of the riots. The white rioters, with murder in their hearts often could not tell a "negro (?)" when they met him. WOULD BAR FROM ARMY Colored men would be barred from the army and navy under a bill introduced by Representative Carraway (dem.) Arkansas. The bill also provides for the discharge within sixty days of all colored men now in the service and prohibits appointment of colored men to the naval and military academies. Representative Carraway knows that this bill can not be passed, but he wishes to stir up race friction and make a hit with the rough necks of Arkansas. 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 THE SIN OF To sin by silenc protest makes cov The human race ha test.

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 respecable French women and colored men were immoral is an infamous slur on the French women and an insult to the colored defenders of democracy. It is said that the French demi-mondaines preferred the colored men, and this pliqued 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 accused to the infamous, abnormal, un-Christian, and really un-American 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, "Liberté, 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 ap- preciated, and there is a great deal of segregation over here.

Paris, August—The government was interpelled in the chamber of deputies a few days ago on the rough treatment French colored soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by M. Boisneuf and M. Lagrosilliere, colored deputies, respectively from Guadeloupe and Martinique. The debate that ensued ended with the unanimous adoption of the following resolution: The chamber, faithful to the immortal principles of the rights of man, commencing all prejudices of religion, caste, or religion, equally affirms the absolute equality of all men, without distinction of race or color, and their right to the benefit and protection of all the laws of the country. The chamber counts upon the government to apply these laws and see that the necesary penalties for their infringement are inflicted." Jules Pams, minister of the interior, replying to the colored deputies, said that the government had applied penalties and asked them not to insist upon a discussion of "the very regretable incidents, as France does not forget the services rendered by her colored sons." The minister of the interior added that the American government had not hesitated to express regrets in terms that did France the greatest honor. "High Diplomacy" Problem. M. Pams asked Deputy Boisneau for reasons of "high diplomacy" to drop the subject. The deputy said he would not speak of questions that involved diplomacy, but he protested against the complicity of the French military authorities in these incidents. He then read a confidential circular to French officers attached to the American army, setting forth how American opinion did not tolerate "familiarity between whites and blacks." "And it is America that wants a society of nations," interjected Charles Bernard, a deputy from the Seine. "The circular wasn't signed by Wilson," shouted Deputy Mayeras (Socialist from the Seine) in reply to M. Bernard. 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 these organizations appeal for money they need it and I hope that everyone who is able to subscribe will do so. Yours very truly, It is outrageous that the conditions described 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. THE RECENT RACE BIOTS Many factors have contributed to cause the race riots in Washington and Chicago, as ' the ways of intense race hatred no 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, made 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 piqued 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." DEMAND QUIZ BY CONGRESS INTO MOB RULE. New York—Demand for investigation my congress or mob violence and lynching in the United States is made in an address to the nation signed by 150 citizens throughout the country, including ex-President Taff, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, the governors of seven states, including Gov. A. H. Roberts of Tennessee, every living ex-attorney general of the United States, the heads of California, Illinois, Princeton, Western Reserve, Fisk and Vanderbilt universities; Charles W. Eliot, Elihu Root, Charles Evans Hughes, J. R. Bingham of Mississippi, and Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. The address is an outcome of the national conference on lynching, which was held in New York city May 5 and 6 last. 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 in America can trace their descent to the Negro; there is no more right to call all colored 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 signs as these account in such measure, for the exceedingly rapid manner in which the Colored men are depopulating the South. They can be neither blamed nor censured for leaving a town like this. They have hearts and souls and human pride, just like the people of other races. ABYSSIAN 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 Arabia. 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 that Russia has ever produced, was the son of an Abyssinian Negro. The 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" of the common people say, "taking back." The back bottom facts in the case, are diametrically opposed to this figment of the Darwinian imagination If the new reigning family of the British monarchy should become extinct, the next heir to the throne would be the Prince of Battenburg, whose beautiful and accomplished wife is the direct descendent of Pushkin. She would be the queen of England and Empress of India. 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. 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 Ramage cemeteries were buried by colored American soldiers, no white man helped to move one. "A lasting bond is due to the colored soldiers from American citizens." He says that many memorials that have been made by speakers and writers, who were not actually on the ground, are not veritable facts. Having worked in the Verdon 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 believe that the Germans were who faced the Germans have left here on the field, proportionately, their silent representatives." ROBERT R. MOTON. (From the Crisis) Neither R. H. 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 decrements and disagreements. When they met in 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 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 directs that commanding officers render all possible assistance in any visit or inspection Dr. Moton desires to make. They will also see that he is accorded LIVING IT OVER AGAIN! Minnesota State Fair and Victory Exposition Aug. 30 to Sept. 6 New Record! THE 1919 exhibit of farm products will break all records at the Minnesota State Fair and Victory Exposition Aug. 30 to Sept. 6 Defective Page every opportunity to make any observation he may wish to make. What did Dr. Moton do? 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 speak. He made a few speeches, of which one is reported by a healer, 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 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. 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 by chance by President Wilson and Mr. Brantz's purpose of speaking to the colored troop was stated that he had just left Paris when 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 can not quote the President." After Dr. Moton finished his talk no opportunity was given to the officers to inform him of the conditions that had existed in France, and he did not receive information 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 the writer that he urged Dr. Moton to 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 stay, but promised to return. He 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 Lloyd George. Yet Dr. Moton did not keep his appointment; but rushed to catch the boat to be present at the Tuskegee Conference. He sailed with Thomas Jesse Jones still watching him, and did return to Paris or to the Pan-African Conference, which he said he favored and promised to support. No one questions the personal integrity of Robert R. Moton or his kindly disposition, but no one friend or foe, can look these facts in the face and not feel bitter disappointment. "MY COUNTRY IS THE WORLD." It was in 1833, on July 13th, that William Lloyd Garrison, speaking at Exeter Hall, London, England, uttered the momentous 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 of the American slave, he visited England this time 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 price for his head, and on his way to his ship at New York, through 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 England anti-slavery society, and his object was the collection of funds for the establishment of manual 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 Exerter Hall on the evening of July 13th. The great auditorium was packed. 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 (From the Christian Register.) (From the Christian Register.) 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 anonyms is significant of an opinion still widely influential. "Kindly send them to Africa, just of mixing them with us." As a preface of an individual desire these two points are of course admissible, but a careful measures it is curious that an intelligent person should seriously entertain them. Does any one suppose that the colored population of the United States could be sent to Africa, or that 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 reckonable menace to respectability and intrinsic leadership to open a few more industrial doors to their proved abilities and usefulness? While we write, a moving-van is unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the boss, the white man take his orders. There is not the least trouble about it. There 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 Evocate, and in his reply to Irvin S. Colbey says: "The writer means well, but he has seen to know what the term 'nigger' that has persisted as a relic of slavery and has in it the sting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro, must go." Yes, and The Bee asserts that not only the word "nigger" must go, but the word "Negro." We are American citizens, the same as you, although we may be dark. The white man manufacture both terms and the Government legends them and colored Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms.
