EXPERT GIVES OBSERVATIONS Soldier Who Was Also an Ornithologist Writes of His Experiences in France—Bulfinches Peacefully Feed, Heedless of Fokkers Droning Directly Overhead—Robin Sings on While Big Shells Explode Nearby—Bird Hunt Interrupted. Stories of birds taking their chances in the din and raygers of battle are supplemented by the personal experiences of Ludlow Griscom, who gave such time to his favorite study of ornithology as he could spare from his duties as a soldier and who records his observations in the journal of the Museum of Natural History. He found in the zone abundance of crows, maggles, blue jays, rooks, tittos, woodpeons, swallows, martins, chaffinches, jays, turtles, starlings, buntings, goldfinches and other species. Writing of one trip as a dispatch carrier, which took him to Salm-Die, through the spruce forests of the Voges, Mr. Griscom says: "Salmt-Die itself was partly in ruins, and was considered an unhealthful spot due to constant bombing, shelling and gassing—the last apparently the favorite method of annoyance. Everybody carried a gas mask at all times, and had picked a cellar into which to retire rapidly when a yearning for seclusion seized him. It was astonishing, therefore, to see the full quota of house sparrows quarrying on the roof tops, the swallows flying up and down the main street. They had no gas masks, and it is hardly like that they descended to cellars. Just what they did was a mystery." Did Not Mind Fokkers "When the dusk gathered the great guns began to thunder a scant mile away. In the garden of the old chateau which was used as headquarters was a tree linden with fruit. Here by the light of the setting sun, three beautiful bulbines were peacefully feeding on the crinon berries, heedless of three Fokkers which droned directly overhead. Unperturbed and unburied they finished their meal, and disappeared the gathering gloom, leaving behind a scant foot so strong by its sharp contrast that it is graven deeply on my memory. At the end of October I was ordered to the first army sector. The hills northwest of Verdun had been selected as an excellent sending station for a certain type of balloon, and I was sent there on November 2 to start a station. As we approached Verdun the country appeared more and more wrecked until it could be described as totally ruined in the hills to the northwest. There, where the flower of young French manhood had died by the tens of thousands, there was nothing but a succession of shell holes. The trenches were partly fallen in, the trenches were still intact as they had been left at the last trumpet advance, and here and there a few blasted tree trunks did duty for a wood. Vegetation even was scant. A kestrel hovered over the dreary waste, a flock of gold-finches twittered around a whistle, and a great gray shrike had taken up his quarters in a barbed wire entanglement. Heard a Wren Singing. "As dusk fell we descended into a steep little valley to the ruined villages of Fremontville, and elected to spend the night in one of the houses which will host a fire of the roof. That night the artillery fire at the front rose to the intensity of drum fire. The allied heavy guns were concealed in the hills along a line lying a mile or two south of us. These joined merrily in the chorus, so that in the early morning the ground fairly shook. "The approach of dawn brought quiet, permitting a brief cat nap, and I was astonished to hear a wren singing in the rafters nearby, as I woke up. A bird hunt in this ruined village and its outskirts started immediately. Wrens were common, the smashed roofs and torn rafters furnishing them an abundance of hiding places among which they ducked and bobbed. Robin redbreasts were also common, singing sweetly in every bush that remained. Along the little brook flowing through the village was a solitary white wagtail and a great tit kept it some sort of company. The house sparrows were a chattering around the church, and a flock of tree sparrows were feeding around the horse pond. Add a flock of rooks flying past overhead and a pair of yellow buntings in a field just outside the village, and we have quite a list of a locality. Later on a few shells burst on a hillside about a quarter of a mile away, to which the birds in the village paid not the slightest attention. Bird Hunt Interrupted. "Somewhat late," he writes, "the bird hunt was ridely interrupted by the scream of a shell which fell near a field hospital in the outskirts of the village. A second shell, a 14-inch high explosive, ploughed through the roof of the church. Right opposite me was a bush, on each side of which masonry was piled in such a way that down among the roots there was quite a little pit, an excellent retreat from the bird's point of view. A robin redbreast had been singing in this bush all the morning, and I was pleased to discover it among the roots, apparently alive and well, in spite of the fact that a high-powered shell had burst only 100 feet away. One might think the concussion would have killed so small a bird, for it was a bad enough jar to the human frame. Knowing possibly more about shells than the bird, I would appear immediately after the last piece of masonry had fallen down. The bird would be down among the roots, as still as a mouse, and would not show any signs of life for about ten minutes, then it would begin to work up very consistently toward the top of the bush. Then the next shell was the signal for both of us to dive hastily back into our respective retreats. Five minutes after the last shell had fallen this particular redbreast was singing sweetly from the top branches of its bush, joined by several others in various parts of the village, in marked contrast with the solemn-faced and quiet men who emerged somewhat later from scattered dugouts all over the hiliside to take stock of the damage done, the lives lost and the wounded who needed immediate attention. It is, of course, obvious that a small bird has a better chance of not being hit by a shell fragment than a man. If, therefore, its resistance to shell shock and concussion were about equal to that of man, we would be explanation of the existence of bird life war zone. Although it is highly improbable that a bird is equally resistant, we must not overlook the best of preventatives, a barrier. Here again it is obvious that a tree trunk, a brick, a rafter would serve as an excellent deflector of concussion and sound waves for a bird crouched behind it, whereas these objects would totally fail to help a man." HAS COLONIAL FLASK George Washington Carried a "Dram" Bottle George Washington's "dram" bottle, used by him in Revolutionary war times, has come forth from its resting place, in a Webster county (Ky.), farm home after a rest of nearly 150 years, for most of, which time it has been kept under lock and key. In possession of its present owner, J. I. Sutton, a farmer, to whom it has been handed down as an heirloom, the small hand-painted flask, which was presented by General Washington to one of his colonial friends named Briscoe, was brought to Dixon this week and exhibited. Older residents of the county vouch for the history of the flask and its historical connections are authenticated well. The flask was presented by one Briscoe, the grandfather, ancestor of the Bridwell families of this county, and later was passed to Miss Martha Melton, who bore the wife of Sutton. It is of a glazed composition, half-pint capacity, and bears evidence of its age. A leather case, used to sling the flask from the shoulder, was discarded 20 years ago by Sutton because of its time-worn condition. The bottle is temporarily in possession of County Judge A. L. Hall. ALIENS EAGER TO RETURN Brief Post-War Visit to Native Country Enough for Them Altenz who rushed back to their native countries at the end of the war are returning to the United States after brief visits to European countries. They are shocked by the poverty and desolation found in the war zones, and surprised to find the cost of food and clothing higher in Europe than in the United States. They first to be granted passports after the war, are returning to the United States in great numbers. Similar conditions are apparent in Italy, where more than 2,000 Italians now are waiting passports to return to the United States. There is little emigration now from Russia and Poland, but a general exodus occurred as soon as conditions become more favorable. Thousands of people are leaving Siberia for the United States. WOODEN WATER PIPES Unearthed In Boston While Laying New Maina. Wooden water pipes, crumbling with age and long usage, which served the Devonshire street portion of Boston with water from the times of the Revolution to the Boston fire of 1872, have been unearthed while installing high pressure water pipes. Although the pipes have not been in use since the rebuilding of that section of the city which was devastated by the fire, they still are in fairly good condition. Close behind one old pipe were found two pennies of the coinage of 1803 and 1844. The older of the coins is in almost perfect condition, despite the 116 years since it came from the mint. The fraction 1-100 is on the back of the coin. Farmer Gets $900 Pearl. Farmer Gets $900 Pearl. While digging mussels in the Wabash river at Vincentnes, Ind., recently, Martin Straw, a farmer, found a pearl which he sold to M. Cruel (M.L.) jeweler for $800. Straw had dug one pound of shells when he started cooking them and made the find. States May Get Army Cars Representative Reavis of Nebraska, chairman of the quartermaster supplies sub-committee, has introduced a bill in the house calling for the disbandment of the surplus army cars to state highway departments for use in road building. PORK FAVORITE MEAT OF FARMER Department of Agriculture Gives Interesting Statistics. CITY DWELLERS EAT BEEF First Adequate Information Concerning the Meat Consumption of Various Sections of the Country, and of the City and Country Population, That Ever Has Been Obtained—West Leads in Consumption of Beef and Mutton. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) That the farmers are the chief pork and poultry consumers, when a comparison is made on a per capita basis, while the city dwellers eat a greater proportion of beef, veal and mutton, is shown by the estimates of the per capita consumption of each kind of meat and poultry by the urban and rural population, which have just been completed by the bureau of crop estimates, United States department of agriculture. This is the first adequate information concerning the meat consumption of various sections of the country, and of the city and country examined. The figures in the estimates represent pounds of dressed weight as would be sold by the butcher. Greater in Country. The total meat consumption per capita is 9 per cent greater in the country than in the city, and excess in varying degrees is found in every one of the customary geographical divisions. Beef consumption is nearly two-thirds greater in the city than in the country. In both veal and mutton consumption per capita the city exceeds the country, veal by 119 per cent and mutton by 43 per cent, and there is a varying preponderance of the city consumption in all sections, except that mutton consumption per capita is greater than the country in the east—that is, between the Great Plains and the Pacific ocean. If beef, veal and mutton are combined, the city exceeds the country in per capita consumption by two-thirds. What the country loses in comparison with the city in the per capita consumption of beef, veal and mutton is more than offset by what it gains in the consumption of pork and poultry. These are the meats, if poultry may be called meat, that are more especially adapted to the country than the others. The per capita consumption of pork and poultry in the country is even higher than in the United States as a whole the country is higher by nearly one-half for pork and more than one-half for poultry. City Eats Beef and Mutton The city consumes more beef, veal and mutton per capita, than it does pork and poultry, by 9 per cent, but the country consumes more pork and poultry per capita than the other meats by 150 per cent; and in the city pork and poultry are 48 per cent of the total meat consumption (including poultry), and in the country 71 per cent. Beef, veal and poultry consumption per capita are higher in the North than in the South, but in pork consumption the South is higher. The West is above the other sections in beef and mutton consumption, and is barely below the leading section, the north Atlantic, in veal consumption, but it is lowest in poultry consumption and, except in comparison with the north Atlantic states, is lowest in pork consumption. FRANCE WANTS LUMBER Purchase of American Timber Advocated by French Interests. The purchase of American lumber by France is advocated by certain French interests, in order to supply an estimated need of 14,715,000 board feet annually for several years, according to information secured by the bureau of markets of the United States department of agriculture. The species recommended are Douglas fir and Southern pine. At present the tariff and freight rates in France on American timber are higher than on lumber coming from European countries, and American measurements are different from those employed in Europe. These difficulties are not considered insurmountable, however, and an effort will probably be made to overcome them. Gold Teeth for Dog. Bonnie Lad, a Scotch collye collee by John Gallagher of the Kansas City Kennel club is the envy of all the dogs in that part of the country. Bonnie Lad had but two teeth, having lost his others in a fight with a bulldog. His master took him to one of the dentists here, and now Bonnie Lad has a full set of false teeth, two of them gold, to make him appear a little more aristocratic among the dogs of his acquaintance. Farmers Plan Stores to Reduce Prices. The farmers of Broome county, New York, believe they have solved the problem of reducing the cost of living by increasing the amount of cooperative stores, which will be handled at cost. A company is being organized in the town of Lisle, N. Y., with a capital stock of $20,000 to finance such a store. Defective Page (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Out in Portland, Ore., a new kind of school has been started which has no truant officer, gives no degrees, and is attended by young and old-college graduates as well as some who didn't have a college. It's not a large school—only 36 at high school who meet once a week for an intensive course in grain grading, because they are interested in grading grain under federal standards, administered by the United States department of agriculture. The school is held once a week outside of business hours in the office of the federal grain supervisor. Among the students are grain dealers, dock superintendents, and foremen, and state grain men. It has been necessary to divide the school into two classes, to take care of the new men who come in. The "seasonal" students must stand shows how to analyze and grade samples under federal standards and can answer properly questions relating to inspection and sampling. The school will be continued as long as anyone wishes to attend. E-TRIMWOOD & DIESELMUND Dr. Ernst F. W.

Thirty thousand Armenian girls, spared from death during the Turkish massacre in the Van and Kili regions of Turkey, Turkish harams, have appealed to the American Red Cross for aid in obtaining their freedom. Nothing was heard from these girls for months after their capture and it was believed they had been slain by the Turks. Recently pitiful appeals for liberation from harams in Anatolia and European Turkey indicate their plight. Colonel Haskell, high commander for the allies to Armenia, has appealed for military aid as a background for diplomatic negotiations. The American Red Cross is asked for financial backing necessary for the work of liberating the women. PERSHING DECORATED 6,000 American General Kept Buay Reward- ing Heroes of U.S. Army ing Heroes of U. S. Army. More than 6,000 members of the American expeditionary force received decorations from General Pershing. Medals of honor, the highest award provided by this government, were conferred on 78 distinguished service crosses on 5,271, and distinguished cowardice crosses on 1,011. These figures do not include decorations bestowed through the war department. Hungry Cow Eats Picnic Lunch. A picnic party at Island Pond, near Concord, N. H., returning from a walk through the woods, found a cow standing in the stream eating out of the boat. She had eaten one large loaf of bread, one pie in a pasteboard box, a pound of fancy crackers, a pound and a quarter of bacon, half a magazine and two red hatching carcass, and in the middle of a ball of twing; chewing it down, foot by foot. USE COLORS TO SOOTHE NERVES Sculptor Leads Revolt Against the House Painter. Movement Is Result of Observation of Effect of Color on Members of the American Expeditionary Force in France—Glare of White Ceiling and Spots on Wall Cause of Nervousness of American People. Miss Janet Scudder and Mrs. William H. Lane, recently returned to New York from France, where they served for more than a year with the Red Cross, have started a revolt against the house painter. They want to suppress the originator of the putty selored room and the mixer of other monotonous wall taints. They advocate the painting of houses, offices, hotels and public buildings with clear, strong colors that will stimulate the mind, or rest the nerves, according to the purpose of the interior. And they hope never to see another white ceiling. As the first shot in their revolution the two young women have painted the walls of the apartment at No. 14 East Forty-fourth street, New York. Miss Scudder, who is a sculptor of international renown, with examples of her work in the Metropolitan museum, does not intend to abandon her sculpture for house painting. She will resume her modeling, she says, when the wall color insurrection has been spread all over the country. Mrs. Lane, who has been an opera singer, is the color mixer, while Miss Scudder decides on its architectural application. The revolt is the result of a study of the effect of color on the A. E. P. when they entered the huts, canteens and recreation centers, which these two war workers painted, including most of the Red Cross army buildings from the front. The building, the brightest, most clearest colors they could get, and most of the time they did, the painting themselves. The splash of color that greeted the boys returning weary and like hungry from the trenches was like a tonic. They braced up wonderfully under the influence of bright red or clear blue or golden yellow. This suggested the application of color influence to daily life and the result is the first apartment decorated in this style. Colors, and Nerves. Other orders have been taken and the two young women who join the building, even though they are striving to change the entire outlook of its members, will personally paint either interiors or exteriors. They also hope to interest other women in following this profession. The walls of their living room at the Forty-fourth street apartment are deep, clear blue, the ceiling is bright green and the woodwork white. The bedroom has soft, dark purple walls, blue woodwork and a yellow ceiling. The third room is yellow, with blue doors and trim. The ceiling is a lighter shade of yellow. The furniture is blue painted wicker. The hangings are beautiful bright-colored chintzes brought from France. Rolls of these imported materials, showing clear hold tints, are on their way over here to be used in the transformation of dull interiors, into much brighter and more wholesome ones, according to the two artists. Their efforts to destroy the tradition of the white ceiling and the use of characteristic wallpapers, Miss Scudder said, "It is undoubtedly true that the nervousness of the American is due to the glare of his ceiling and the spots on his walls. Add to this the constant ringing of his telephone bell and you have the secret of the lack of repose in the average American setting. Colors That Soothe. "Lovely, fat' colors on our walls, colors that soothe and stimulate at the same time, can be bad. Why allow our most intimate surroundings to be hideous? It is a curious fact that the house painter is in the scale of professors inferior to almost any other. It should be most important because our lives are more closely associated with the results of that profession than with any other. Color should be one of the great factors of existence and it has never been considered as such. "In one of the most distinguished and expensive hotels in New York city all the bedrooms are white, the carpets bright green and the furniture a harsh red. This is absolutely criminal, a torture to the visitors that should not be allowed, though the visitors do not realize their demoralizing surroundings. Another instance is one of the smartest clubs, up to date in every way. The dining room is a mess of garbage surrounded by bricks painted a sickly green, the walls are of irritating persistence that never, for one single instant, relieves the eye. Even when one is booked to the kaleidoscopic effect of a fire, life in New York is necessarily filled with turnover. Why add to the general excitement walls that twinkle and splash at you, and ceilings that glare? Suppress the action in your backgrounds and see what it does to your nervous system. Go to bed in Appeal Inspires British Army to Success. Tells them They "Vanquished Napoleon; Why Not the Lowly Germans?" Paris—An appeal to the British soldiers dictated by the then General Foch, asking them to remember their forefathers' victory over Napoleon, inspired them to attack the Germans and recover the ground they had lost before the gas wave at the second battle of Ypres, writes Colonel Feyler in the Journal de Geneve. Before the Frenchish gas both British and French had been obliged to give ground. The then General Foch intended to recover the former positions at all costs, according to Colonel Feyler. He asked Gen. Sir John French to co-operate with him, "impossible," replied French; "my men are ready to hold here, but I do not feel that I can demand of them, in their present condition further sacrifices in attacking." Foch expressed surprise: "Their morale is low," he said. "Why you launch a proclamation? Something like this: 'British soldiers, forward. You who have vanquished the great Napoleon, shall it come to pass that you will permit the lowly German to drive you from your positions and attack you.'" "How is that?" asked French, greatly interested. "Please repeat it." And at the dictation of Foch, French wrote out the proclamation, which was given out to the troops the next day. The next morning the British solider came and recovered all the lost ground. JINX PURSUES BRIDAL AUTO Blowouts Were Overcome, but Lack of Years Was an Effectual Bar at License Bureau. Baltimore—Luck was with Allen Walter Dehuff of Dallastow, Pa., a prospective bridegroom, when he slipped from bed at 4 a. m. and at the "fliver" sped toward Loganville, Pa. His bride-to-bear, Miss Ethel Hildebrant, was waiting for him at a lonely spot on the road and they turned the radiator toward Baltimore, but there Dehuff's luked deserted him. First came blowouts and then engine trouble and finally a damaged axle, but repairs were made and the "fliver" continued toward Baltimore and a marriage license. But the blow which he received at the marriage license bureau will take two, you to fix, unless he asks his parents for help. He is only 19 years old and the clerk would not issue the marriage license without the consent of Dehuff's parents, so the pair returned home. FAMOUS BAR NOW GROCERY California House Had Five Presidents and One King as Guests. Sacramento, Cal.—The Diamond bar, famous for nearly fifty years as a part of the old Auzeras House, of San Jose, Cal., is being fitted up for a grocery store. The Auzeras House, in West Santa Clara street, housed five presidents of the United States and was for a time the abode of a king. It was built in 1883, according to John Auzeras of San Jose, and the barron was the meeting place for many of the men whose names have been written into the history of California. President Grant was entertained at a banquet in the Auzeras House in 1879. The following spring King Kalauk of Hawaii was a guest, and in September of the same year President Hayes delivered an address from the balcony. President Harrison was a guest in 1891, and both McKinley and Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel on their tours of the United States. ```markdown ``` Landford Gives House to Tenant for 26 Years Boston, Mass. — Profiteering landlords who raise rents and refuse repairs may profit by the example of F. T. Fuller of Wakefield, who has made a present of a house to the tenant who has lived in it for the past 26 years. Today Fuller is known as the best landlord in America. --- Perhaps Born in Two States. Norwalk, O.—Charles H. Hargo of Bellevue, who was found guilty by a jury of cutting with intent to wound, was charged with killing whether he was born in Ohio or West Virginia. While on the witness stand Hargold said he was born in a houseboat, that was moored in the Ohio river on the Ohio and West Virginia line. The water was high and the houseboat swung from one state to the other on his natal day. Bulging With Coln. Washington.—The government has so much "coin of the realm" that it actually bulges out the walls of the vaults containing it. The treasury has asked congress to appropriate $1,500,000 to make the vaults secure and protect the treasury from enemy gold and silver was accumulated during the war. $2.00 PER YEAR Finds Former Orderly in Charge of Bureau. MANY SUCH CASES IN CANADA Many Men of Modest Station in Civil Life Won Deserved Promotion in War—Wherever Possible Recognition of Efficiency in Army is Being Awarded—Bulk of Army Slipping Back Into Civil Life Without Creating a Ripple. Curious situations arising out of the question of rank in the Canadian army during the war are being duplicated in accentuated form on the soldiers to civil life. The cases of bank managers or occupants of high industrial positions who found themselves serving as privates or as junior officers under majors and colonels who had been their employees before the war are now being reversed, often in fashionous fashion. One Canadian colonel who for four years had been responsible for the bodies and souls of 1,000 men, each of whom was ready to give up his life on the colonel's order, found on his return to civil life that he could not get a job. Finally he decided to apply to a government employment bureau, but on entering the office found himself face to face with his former orderly, dance-corporal, who on more than one occasion, led him a merry dance and had often seen the subject of disciplinary measures. The colonel did not apply for a job, but took advantage of the opportunity to exchange greetings and good wishes and utter a few plattitudes about the weather. Another officer of high rank took a position, soliciting advertising. Humily approaching the owner of a smart cigar store, he found himself face to face with a former private in his apartment, who was unpleasant collisions. The ex-master executed a tactical retirement by purchasing a package of cigarettes. Many Won Better Jobs. The case of a Calgary barber who enlisted as a private and earned promotion on the field to the rank of major, who now doesn't fancy a return in barbering, has many parallels throughout the country. Generally speaking the private who attained high rank during the war is regarded as having developed qualities which, no matter what his former occupation was, ought to find recognition on the battlefield, and this recognition is being awarded. John P. Girvan, a sorter in the Toronto general post office, enlisted as a private in August, 1914. In the closing campaign of the war Private Girvan had become Major Girvan, acting lieutenant in command of his battalion, with D. S. C., M. C., and Croix de Guerre brigades on his breast. a few weeks ago Major Girvan reported for duty to the post office where five years ago he had laid down the position of sorter. The post office authorities ordered him to Major Girvan back to his sorter's position. Instead they made him assistant to the superintendent and gave him charge of the night staff, a position ordinarily reached only after a lifetime's work in the civil service. EX-major Kings Up Fares. Other cases have not been so satisfactorily disposed of. A former major is serving as a street car conductor, the same position he occupied when he enlisted as a private at the beginning. Asked why he did not endeavor to secure a position more in keeping with his rank in the army he said: "This is the one job in civil life I know. I I tried to pitchfork myself into some other job I might make a maze of it and become a bum for the rest of my life." The fact is that the great bulk of Canada's army is slipping back into civil life without creating a ripple on the surface. According to government figures recently announced, 313,599 men have been released from the army since the signing of the armistice. Of this total no less than 189,000 men have made no application for employment and have presumably slipped back into places that were waiting for them. Out of 68,773 men who have applied for employment, 61,278 have been placed. From these it appears that since the armistice more than 200,000 men have been reabsorbed into Canadian civil life and that some 60,000 still remain to be absorbed. Many of these latter are doubtless students, candidates for vocational training, or young men taking easy for a time before seeking employment. Earns $4 a Day With One Hand. Despite the loss of her left hand in an accident, Miss Mina Train of Sacramento, Cal., is making her own way through the world. She is now earning $4 a day peeling and slicing fruit in a local cannery, and by holding the fruit with her left elbow, is able to work as rapidly as two-handed employees. Alligator Takea Vacation.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves trustable to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." — John Stuart Mill, *J*. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1919. A THANKSGIVING HOMILY. A peculiar chance brought to our notice this week a copy of The (New York) Independent issued on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 26, 1874. And, under the above caption, the editor, Henry C. Bowen, wrote words that are as appropriata today as they were when written forty-five years ago, and express our sentiments better than we can, so we reproduce a portion and say, "Them our sentiments:" "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord," sung the minstrel king, and his song seems to imply that the occasion of thanksgiving is never wanting. This is a lesson we do not readily learn." Any man who this day has honest work and reasonable wages may well eat his turkey with thankfulness and drink his tirsch with a merry heart. And not least among the causes of our gratitude is the opportunity afforded us of dividing our portion with those who are in need. The poor we have with us always; and this is not the greatest of our hardships, but the choicest of our blessings. If there is anything that a Christian man feels thankful for, it is the privilege of lifting the load of some of his heavily-burdened neighbors; of filling homes that were desolate with the light of cheerfulness and the warmth of love; of giving to some sad soul beauty for ashes and garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. The daintiest viand in the most tempting feast will not be half so delicious today as the remembrance that there are other habitations where the feast has been made cheerier and the day brighter by a thoughtful charity. We envy no man his Thanksgiving dinner from whose table is absent that sweetest of all condiments, the gratitude of the poor. SOUTH STILL IN SADDLE.

He was arrested, tried and hanged on Dec. 2 of the same year. "States are not great Except as men may make them; Men are not great except they do and dare. But States, like men, Have destinies that take them— That bear them on not knowing why or where. All merit comes From braving the unequal; All glory comes from daring to begin. Fame loves the State That reckless of the sequel, Fights long and well, whether to lose or win. been conceived, much less enacted, as it is absolutely WRONG and caters to a prejudice as wrong as itself. Once, some years ago, it will be remembered; there were several colored members of Congress elected by the majority vote in this several districts, just as the members of the present Congress were but if those men were living now, they would not be allowed to travel in the South without being humiliated and outraged by being forced into Jim crow cars just because they had a visible admixture of African blood in their composition. The present Congress had an opportunity to correct this great wrong but refused to do so, because the southern members did not want it. There is a majority of members in the present Congress who are members of the Republican party, the party of Lincoln, Summer, Phillips, Roosevelt, etc., presumably, advocates of justice to all men, and the most faithful allies of that party had good reason to expect justice at their hands. They did not get it and cannot forget that fact. REFUSED TO STAY SEN REFUSED TO STAY SENTENCES. Declaring that he would not be swayed by outside influences in regard to the death sentences passed on the eleven colored men found, by a prejudiced jury, guilty of participation in the recent Phillips county race troubles, Gov. Brough, of Arkansas, decided to ignore the telegrams from W. M. Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights League, and Maj. J. E. Spingarn, of the N. A. A. C. P., requesting executive clemency in the case. He had the power to save these men's lives whose condemning crime was being black but chose to take the responsibility upon himself of allowing them to be electrocuted "With what measure ye meate - it shall be measured unto you." "WE ARE ALL ALIKE." In the midst of the base, unjust, un-American talk about race segregation, which Southern whites have started in Chicago, the statement of a member of an oppressed race, sounds like a voice of fairness in the wilderness of race prejudice. A great hullabaloo was raised over the sale by Rabbi Hirsch of his former residence at 4612 Grand Boulevard, to a colored man. It was considered a matter of sufficient importance to warrant the sending of a reporter of the Chicago Tribune to interview the seller. Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, the famous Jewish leader, was asked by the reporter: "What are your views on race segregation?" Rabbi Hirsch replied: "From my point of view we are all alike. Colored people are just as good as whites. I would rather have a good black neighbor thata a poor white one." WILL NOT WAIVE RIGHTS. Venal colored men in Chicago attempted to sell out the colored people but they were promptly rebuked by the decent self-respecting people. An organization known as the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners Association held a meeting to prepare plans to segregate the colored people or at least to drive them out of the Hyde Park section. The colored people were characterized as "undesirables," "coons," "darkies," etc., by speakers who were appealing to the prejudices of the Southerners who composed about nine-tenths of the audience. THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Then another meeting was called and a few venal jimcrow Negroes were on hand who tried to sell out their race. The whole plan was an infamous one. The colored men who were in the plot were the hirelings of the Hyde Park whites and hoped to make a lot of money out of the scheme, but the community made it so hot for the would-be traitors that they did not attend the second meeting with the whites. There were only six colored men who agreed to segregate themselves and they have long been known as jimcrowists. An attempt was made to buy out Rev John F. Thomas, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, whose congregation has purchased a Jewish Temple in the Hyde Park district, but he refused to be a party to the scheme and he says that his congregation will move into the Temple when the payments have been completed. Ex-Alderman De Priest, head of the People's Movement, is raising a fund to take care of the mortgages of those threatened with foreclosure and will see to it that insurance policies are taken out for all who are not protected against fire. Leading colored citizens, pastors of all the churches and heads of organizations are advising their members to stand pat and be not afraid. It is very evident that the colored people of Chicago will not waive any of their constitutional rights. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathise with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." INDIANS AGAINST SEGREGATION. Three hundred members of the American Society of Indians, in annual convention at Minnesota, voted for the abolition of the U. S. government Indian Bureau. The reasons given by speakers are that Indians should be regarded the same as other American citizens and do not need supervision. A remarkable thing in connection with this pronouncement is the fact that the editor of THE APPEAL, in a wire to the President just before he left for the Peace Conference at Paris, in December, 1918, suggested the same idea in reference to the American Indian. Dr. C. E. Eastman, Amherst, Muss., president of the organization, in an address said the Indians were not understood; and would not be in the United States, until an Indian is president Even the American Indian, who was robbed of his country by the Caucasian, sees the menace of segregation, to which so many colored men are indifferent; and, some, actually claim desire. Through the influence of certain prominent colored men a "negro" bureau was established in the Department of Labor, as a war measure. The war is over and it should be abolished. Cut out the word "negro" in the government service. If all citizens, regardless of race or color, are not subject to identical conditions be fore the law, then American democracy is a fake. REBS TO HONOR K. K. K. Headed by the Robert E. Lee camp, whose membership includes Gen. K. M. Vanzandt, commander in chief of the United Confederate Veterans, a movement has been launched by local veterans in Austin, Texas, for the erection of a monument to the Ku Klux Klan, which flourished in the south in reconstruction days, for the purpose of intimidating and murdering colored people to prevent them from voting or exercising any rights of citizenship. It will be recalled that Texas is the state in which Secretary Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P. was brutally assaulted about two months ago because he was endeavoring to aid the colored people. REVIVING WAR INSURANCE Soldiers and sailors who have allowed their war insurance to lapse should take note of the new treasury decision whereby men out of service eighteen months or more may reinstate their policies up to Dec. 31, 1919, on payment of two months' premiums, provided they are still insurable physically. Many of these policyholders have dropped their insurance because they are young and without dependents. But beyond question most of them will some day be married and have dependents and will need insurance. Life insurance is regarded today by our most substantial citizens as the necessary equipment of every man of family, and many banks are publicly advocating it as a measure of thrift. These boys of the army and navy can never again get insurance as cheaply, as it is offered by the government, and the terms for reinstatement are exceedingly liberal. It would be the part of wisdom for these boys to get their policies launched now and at least partly paid for while they are unburdened, financially, by a family. DECLINED BECAUSE UNAMERICAN. The Department of Publicity of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company of Lester, Pennsylvania, gave a segregated picnic for its colored employees. A long account of the event was sent to THE APPEAL but we declined to publish because we felt that the segregation was un-American. We reprint herewith the body of the letter sent to the Westinghouse Company, which gives the opinion of THE APPEAL as to the importance of cultivating the feeling of Americanism among all American citizens: "Your matter is respectfully declined because THE APPEAL, which is AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER does not care to give publicity to a story which on its face appears to be unAmerican. We so regard it as it is the exploitation of the fact that a segregated picnic was given for the "colored" employees. That is drawing the color line. So far as we know the Westinghouse Company has not given a separate picnic for each of the following groups: German, Irish, French, British, Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Austrian, Lettish, Finnish, Bulgarian, Serbian and the one hundred and one other nationalities which are employed and there is no reason why a picnic should be given exclusively for "colored" employees. Possibly some of the colored employees desire such a picnic, but that is because many have come from the South and know, nothing but segregation. Instead of encouraging such a desire, it should be the aim of an AMERICAN corporation to encourage the mingling of all of its employees of the various racial groups in order that they may learn more of each other. Ninety per cent of radical prejudice is due to the fact that one group has no real knowledge of the other groups. The meeting of the various racial groups at a public picnic does not carry with it the obligation to continue and enlarge relationships. Each person must determine for himself to what extent he wishes to go in his social dealings with his fellows.

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 anonymous is significant of an opinion still widely influential: "Kindly send them 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 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 more than a century, and have the right to citizenship, including the right to die, 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 men 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. An Apologist. (From the Washington Bee.) The Bee, at the time Major Moton was named by a committee of apologists, said then that he was a "Hand Picked Leader." The condition of the colored race in the city is due to these "hand-picked leaders," how, in the first place, Major Moton represents a class of white men and not the Colored Americans. He is not only a "hand-picked leader" but an apologist who fails to present an insult. Would any American white man of any nationality attempt to make excuses for an insult to his wife by a common carrier. Has this not been the policy of all hand picked leaders? This hand picked representative apologizes for the insult offered his wife while enroute to her home. Will Major Moton, the newly installed principal of Tuskeguei, enter a suit for damages? No, he would offer an apology to those who had insulted his good wife. The Bee has always been an admirer of Major Moton, and thought that he possessed manly traits, that would commend him to the thoughtful consideration of the American black race, but The Bee must confess that he is a hand-picked leader and an apologist.
