REMEDY IS POINTED OUT Manufacturers Should Register Their Trademarks With the Government One Concern Paid $30,000 to Recover Trademark. FLY ACROSS Giant Flying B WILL Cross From 8,777 MILE New York.—Twice for the first flight ocean are being to the Manufacture. These p. twice the size of t the first trans-Att The proposed Francisco to Hon tance of 7,616 par Huenos Aires—Dispatches from the United States stating that the American Manufacturers' Export association had launched a fight against "trademark" pirates in various foreign countries, including Argentina, were read with interest by the American business colony here, which is aware of frequent instances of this sort of business menness. Americans are far from holding Argentina alone guilty of the practice, for the stealing of trademarks has been done here even by Americans from their own countrymen, it is said, as well as by Europeans from Americans. Remedy Pointed Out The remedy against it, business men say, is for the American manufacturer to register his trademark with the government without delay, otherwise when he attempts to enter this market he may find that some unknown individual or competitor in the same line of goods has anticipated him. It is not necessary in Argentina for the person who registers a trademark to be the actual manufacturer of the goods. That is, anybody can register a trademark, first come, first served. Once registered, the mark can, of course, be used by no one else, and if it has been pirated, the rightful owner either has to sell his products under a new trademark or buy off the pirate. It is known in the office of the United States commercial attache that $30,000 was paid by one American concern to recover its trademark from a pirate. There are reported to be certain individuals who almost make a business of appropriating trademarks of foreign concerns in order to extort a price for surrendering them to the owner. They watch particularly for advertising in newspapers and magazines of foreign concerns whose products they judge are likely to find a market in Argentina: if they find a likely trademark not registered, they see that it is done in their own names and then wait. Trademarks Need Renewal. They also watch for the expiration of trademarks—the period is ten years. There are known to be instances in which concerns have thus left their trademarks to a pirate as the result of neglecting to have them renewed. Argentina has yet failed to ratify the pan-American trademark convention, under which a central agency for the ten southern republics of America would be established in Rio Janeiro for the registration of trademarks. A trademark registered there will be good in all other South American countries signatory to the convention and will save time, expense and trouble. The Argentine administration is known to be anxious to have the trenty ratified, but congress has failed to act. It is reported that President Irigoyen is preparing a special message to congress urging that there be no further delay in the matter. Gorky, Russian Radical, Finds Soviets a Failure Bitter disappointment with bolshevism is expressed in an article recently published by Maxim Gorky, the Russian radical, according to a dispatch from Stockholm, Sweden. "The revolution has not been followed by spiritual revival," the article is said to declare, "and has proved itself unable to make men more honest. Men in power now are just as brutal as those in authority under the imperial regime and send as many to prison. Bolshevist leaders, driven by ambition, are performing experiments upon living people, especially the working classes." PRETTY FACE CAUSES WRECK Aviator Crashes Into Tree While Throwing Kisses to Swarthmore Coeds. Swarthmore, Pa.—The Curtiss mall plane R-30, which dropped into a cluster of trees on the Swarthmore college campus, is rapidly disappearing at the hands of souvenir hunters in spite of the efficient guarding of the local police department. An eyewitness furnished an account of the mishap. According to his story the pilot was flying low and waving to a group of coeds. All went well, it is alleged, until he loosened his hold on the controlling rod for the purpose of throwing kisses with both hands. In an instant his plane dropped into the trees, and it was another case of a pretty face causing the downfall of a man. FLY ACROSS PACIFIC Giant Flying Boats Planned for the Trip. Will Cross From California to China, 8,777 Miles, in Four Hops. New York.—Two giant flying boats for the first flight across the Pacific ocean are being planned, according to the Manufacturers' Aircraft association. These planes will be nearly twice the size of the NC-4, which made the first trans-Atlantic flight. The proposed route lies from San Francisco to Hongkong, China, a distance of 7,616 nautical miles, or about 8,777 land miles. Stops will be made at Honolulu, Wake island, Guam and Manila. The flight has been made possible, the association says, by an invention of Edson Gallaudet of East Greenwich, R. I., whereby three Liberty engines are coupled to one 18-foot propeller. The new boats will have three separate power plants, each containing three high compression Liberty engines, or nine motors to each ship. The boats will be triplanes with a wing spread of 140 feet, as compared with a spread of 126½ feet of the NC boats. Each boat will have a wing area of about 6,000 feet and carry a crew of 16 men. The hulls will be 67 feet long, 22 feet longer than that of the NC-4. The cruising radius is estimated at 2,100 nautical miles, nearly twice that of the NC craft. Three high compression motors will drive each of the three propellers. Each unit of three motors will be installed in a separate nacelle, thus making possible repairs while in flight. Each propeller will be driven by two motors with one in reserve. Enough gasoline can be carried to permit a cruising radius of 2,500 land miles without stopping.

LADY GEDDES AN AMERICAN Wife of New British Ambassador to United States Was Born at Dobbs Ferry. New York—Lady Geddes, wife of Sir Auckland C. Geddes, named British ambassador to this country, is an American girl. She was born at Dobbs Ferry, and is the third daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Ross, long residents of Staten Island. Both came from north of Ireland stock. She was married to Sir Auckland in 1905 in St. Mary's Protestant church, West Brighten, and shortly after went to live in Edinburgh, where her husband was assistant professor of anatomy in Edinburgh university. Several years later they went to Dublin to live, and still later to Montreal, where he held a professorship at McGill university and later became principal. Sir Auckland joined the British forces at the breaking out of the war, and Lady Geddes remained in Montreal. He was seriously wounded and invalided home. He was made brigadier general, and, later, knighted. BEES TO TRAVEL VIA PLANE Alabama Apiary Announces It Will Make Air Shipment to Canada Birmingham, Ala. — Transportation difficulties in the shipment of bees over long distances for breeding purposes have been solved by an Alabama apiary, which announced that arrangements had been completed to send $1,600 worth of honey makers to northern Canada by airplane. Don't Dodge Dog Tax Falmouth, Ky.-This county boasts a 100 per cent dog tax record. There's not a stray dog in the county and the 188 persons listed as delinquent came across quickly when threatened with loss of their hounds. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.. SATURDAY, APRIL 17 1920 ALASKA OFFERS PULP Forests Could Relieve Shortage, Says Governor Riggs. Billions of Feet of Paper Wood Available for Manufacture Into Newsprint. Seattle.—Alaska wants to throw open her millions of acres of national forests so that the billions of feet of paper wood of the northland can help relieve the pulp and newsprint famine, Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska declared here recently. Governor Riggs was here on his way from Juneau, capital of Alaska, to Washington, where he expected to help press pending legislation intended to remove restrictions and allow pulp manufacturers to go into the Tongass and Chugach reservations, the northern territory's two great reserves. Pulp and paper men are anxious to go to Alaska and establish mills as great as these operated in British Columbia not far south of the Alaska boundary line, the governor asserted. Under the present laws the pulp makers cannot enter the reservations with any certainty that they will be allowed to stay. Alaska's great forests stretch over approximately 34,000 square miles, an area nearly equal in size to the state of Indiana, according to estimates made by government officials. Several hundred million feet of good pulp wood, including western yellow pine, hemlock, Sitka spruce, white fir and lodgepole pine, are on the forest reserves alone. The Tongass reserve, in southeastern Alaska, is especially adapted to the manufacture of pulp and paper, forestry officials have reported. There is plenty of water power, ocean horns open the year around, timber skirting the water and weather similar to that of the Puget sound. The governor intends to ask Washington to restore the reserves to the national domain or to open them to the pulp industry. SWINGING PILLAR IS FOUND Hunters Uncover Phenomenon in Green Mountain, Near Canon City, Col. Canon City, Colo.—Gently swaying to and fro, a huge granite monolith forming a unique natural monument has been discovered on Green mountain, several miles north of this city. It is believed to be the only "swinging monument" in the world. The shaft is more than 100 feet high, and in the course of many years has become free from all surrounding earth formation, except at the base, which is about 12 feet wide. In the center, the granite column tapers off to a width at the summit practically the same as at the base. Lee Hughitt, water commissioner of Canon City, and A. V. Hodgin, Fremont county commissioner, came across the phenomenon recently while on a hunting trip. They report that the entire shaft moves, probably from two to three feet at the apex, and the swinging is constant under the pressure of light winds. The base of the shaft, they said, rests in a small hollow about three feet in depth and the contiguous granite formation has been entirely disconnected. SAYS LAWSUITS ARE CHEAP New York Judge Denies Charge That Poor Do Not Receive Justice. New York—The assertion that the poor man does not receive justice in court, made recently in a report of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, was contradicted by Judge Frederick E. Crane of the court of appeals. Speaking before the women members of the Kings County Republican club, he declared that "the chief litigation in our courts is today conducted by the poor, or persons of moderate means, and at no time and in no country have the rights and remedies of the law been so easily procured." "Nowhere in the world is litigation so cheap or redress for wrong so readily afforded to the poor," Judge Crane said. "Any law office of standing can furnish instances of litigation conducted without charge for services rendered because of the condition of the parties." German Who Sunk Sussex Dead. Berlin—A first lieutenant in command of a German submarine steered the English channel steerer Sussex on March 24, 1916, according to a local newspaper which comments on the extradition list received from the allies. It is declared this man has since died. Captain Steinbrink is charged on the extradition list with being responsible for the attack upon the Sussex, which caused the death of 50 persons. An Ancient Rock Bloomington, Ind.-There are rocks and rocks! Indiana university students see Monroe county limestone in great quantities, but rock-calloused as they are, they have taken a special interest just now in a rock that makes Monroe county varieties youngsters in comparison. The specimen has just been received by the department of geology from the Smithsonian institution. Geologists here say that it is fairly old-a billion and a half years, approximately. IS SWEPT BY DEADLY TYPHUS IS SWEPT BY DEADLY TYPHUS Two Million Cases in Russia— Conditions in Poland Appalling. U. S. RELIEF BOARD SWAMPED Several of Its Officers and Men Have Died, Among Them One in Charge at Tarmopol—Shortage of Supplies. Warsaw.-General Petlura's Ukrainian government, which, despite its amazing weakness, remains the nearest approach to organized authority that exists between the East Galician frontier and the Dnieper, has sent its minister of public works, Mr. Bezalko, to Warsaw to appeal for assistance in fighting the incredible typhus conditions in the Petlura country. He reports that 10,000 men, the remnants of Petlura's Ukrainian force, have been stricken with the disease and that the 30,000 men of the East Galician army, commanded by Pavienko, who from time to time have co-operated with Petlura, are in an almost equally bad plight. About half the cases have proved fatal. Hands Are Occupied. It is virtually certain that the Poles will not be able to give assistance to the Ukrainians because their hands are more than occupied in combating the spread of the disease in Poland. There is some typhus in Warsaw—5,000 cases perhaps; Dvinsk, recently captured from the bolsheviks, is in an appalling condition; the epidemic has swept in virulent form as far west as Cracow, where the normal activities are half paralyzed; in most of the villages on the eastern frontiers more than half the inhabitants are sick and there is a disturbing amount of typhus if the army. Where 20 fumigating machines are needed, the Poles have one; where a gallon of carbolic acid is required they have a gill. The American typhus commission, which, with 5,000 men and 750 officers, came here last summer to prepare to combat the disease this winter, has been overwhelmed; even the vast supplies the commission brought have proved insufficient. Several officers and men of the commission have died, including a colonel who was in charge of the work at Tarnopol. So there is small prospect that Peturna can find any help here. Reliable reports indicate that soviet Russia is being devastated by the disease. In the recent exchange of prisoners between the Poles and the bolshevik, they arrived here a Doctor Czechowitz, who over a year ago was impressed into the bolshevik service as a sanitary expert and assigned to the work of dealing with typhus. He says that in March of last year there were 1,340,000 known cases of typhus in bolshevik Russia and that conditions this year are worse than last year. He estimates that there are now at least 2,000,000 cases in Russia. The Soviet government has almost no facilities for controlling the disease and comparatively few physicians are available to care for the sick. In consequence the percentage of deaths is now enormous, Czechowitz says. Usually Follows War. Such an epidemic as the present one almost inevitably follows a period of war in central Europe. It is to be attributed to insufficient food supplies, weakening the resistance of the people, and to lack of clothing, frequently making cleanliness difficult even for the moderately well-to-do and impossible for the poor. A common assertion is that typhus is as great a menace to social quiet as balshevism. But competent observers here do not believe this. The people of this part of the world, they argue, have come through centuries to accept the peril of typhus as an unescapable concomitant of life. Certainly from Poles one hears little outcry at present conditions; it is only those who have known Western civilization who are shocked by the spread and virulence of the disease. The Polish cabinet has reached no decision on the proposal to quarantine the country and it is hoped that suspension of the railroad service for two weeks, because of the coal crisis, may have a favorable effect upon the typhus situation, which could never have attained the proportions it has if travel had been supervised and restricted a month ago. CURE FOR PLANT DISEASES Botanists at Cambridge University England, Claim to Make Vegetation Immune. Cambridge, England—Cambridge university botanists claim that it is now possible to breed disease-proof plants. A special body of investigators who have been devoting themselves to the practical testing of the Mendelian heredity law are engaged in immunizing wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and roots, the results of which will be shown in the summer to a distinguished assembly of medical men. The "plant doctors," as they are called, have already succeeded in breeding a new wheat known as "yeeman" which has yielded 12 quarters (96 bushels) to the acre—three times an ordinary crop. Captives Are Shot to Death With Revolvers. First Make Victims Dig Graves, Then Execute Them for the Bolshevik. Amsterdam.—The correspondent of the Handelsblad, who recently returned from a trip in soviet Russia, gives the following account of his investigations of the activities of the Chinese employed there by the bolshevik as executioners. “Such horrible stories were being told in Europe about these Chinese that I thought it worth my while to learn more about them. As a joke, I asked everyone who asked my opinion of the bolshevik to show me some ‘real man-killing Chinese,’ but I always was told they couldn’t produce any just now because they had all gone to the Denkline front. “I was told the Chinese, if commanded by their own officers were excellent soldiers, but they run like hares if their officers were killed. Executions are now very rare in Moscow, but, in August, when thousands of counter-revolutionaries were slaughtered, it was carried out by the Chinese because the authorities feared the Russian soldiers would refuse to do the work. "The Chinese do this work indifferently—like they do all other work they are ordered to perform. They are blind, conscienceless tools in the hands of the men who feed them and pay them and who raised them from the position of cooleys in which they came to Russia to the rank of soldier, of the guards. "If the 'holtsjak' (his name for bolshevik) orders something, the Chinese does it, and he does it in his typically practical way. He first makes the victim dig his own grave and then shoots him with his revolver. He is not cruel about it, just practical. "When holtsjak says kill, then he kills with an unperturbed face. And when holtsjak says, 'You may stop now,' with the same cool face he lets his victim go." The correspondent after some weeks in Russia left when he was refused permission to make investigations freely as he pleased. Assert Ancient Tribes Did Much Irrigating Albuquerque, N. M.—That prehistoric peoples of New Mexico did a good deal of irrigating is indicated by the remains of canals and ditches found in the state, as well as in other parts of the Southwest, according to H. F. Robinson, head of the Indian irrigation bureau here. The remains of 217 miles of ditches built by the Pueblo Indians alone are to be found, and there are evidences of elaborate water systems at the Salt River valley in Arizona. These ditches were all dug by hand, according to Mr. Robinson, and clay banks and beds were constructed where the way lay over a sandy plain, while the method of blasting through rocks was to heat the rocks, crack them with large stones and remove them from the way. $5,000 FOR MOSQUITO BITE Demand Is Made by Sailor in Suit Brought in Brooklyn Supreme Court. New York.—The tale of a ship beset by swarms of mosquitoes during a voyage along the south Atlantic coast was unfolded in a complaint filed in the Brooklyn supreme court in a suit for $5,000 damages brought by Hendricus De Raay, a sailor. De Raay alleges that after he had been bitten severely, officers of the steamship Gulfcoast, belonging to the Gulf Refining company, refused to give ointment to him. The company has asked for a bill of particulars, denying that the officers refused the ointment, and declaring that mosquito bites were part of the assumed risk of employment. ITALY MAKES OYSTERS SAFE Removes Impurities by Keeping Them In Sterilized Sea Water for a Week. Washington—An Italian company has perfected a process for removing impurities from oysters, according to a report to the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. On being taken from beds along the Venetian coast the oysters are shipped to Rome, the shells carefully washed and thrown into great tanks filled with sterilized sea water. The tanks are constantly replenished and the flowing water has been found to wash all impurities from the oysters which, after a week's "treatment" are shipped to the retailers. Hash? It Just Grows Warren, O.—When Scout Executive ids asked a Warren boy scout for a definition of hash in an examination or a cooking merit badge the scout replied: "Hash is not made; it just accumulates." In business, fortunes are not realised Unless your goods are amply advertised. France Is Stirred to Urge Larger Families. Government Names Board to Warn Nation of Danger of Dying Out. Paris.—France is at last arousing itself to the danger of dying out. The privately conducted, uphill fight for a higher birthrate has been taken over by the government through the creation of a higher council of natality. This council of 30, appointed by J. L. Breton, minister of hygiene, was asked to act immediately. Mr. Breton, father of five children, is known as a strong friend of large families. Three others of the new cabinet are advocates of measures to increase the French birth rate. War cost France roughly 1,500,000 lives. A low birth rate, during the war years, cost France 2,272,735 loss of population. The statistics, made into striking pictures to illustrate their effect on the nation, industry and war danger are being used in a vigorous campaign, by the national alliance, for the increase of the French population. This campaign is being conducted by letters to members of parliament, posters, a magazine, the Woman and the Child, and through the many socially and politically powerful persons interested in the movement. The plainest sorts of truth are told the French about the decreasing birth rate. The national alliance and government officials hold that a family should have three or more children. To encourage such families, government allowances of 60 to 200 frances a year are granted for each child after the second, under thirteen years. The alliance asks also for legislation to provide for the construction of cheap attractive homes available only to large families, establishment of "supersalaries" in industries to heads of such families, preference in government employment, the plural vote, giving the father as many votes as there are persons in the family, and real war, on "birth control," known here as Neo-Malthusianism. "VIRGIN: OF STAMBOUL" International Photo taken in New York shows Sari, the "Virgin of Stamboul," said to be the most beautiful girl in Turkey, and heirsest to $100,000,000, who was discovered in New York by Sheik Bommer, brother of the emir of Hedjaz, who sent him on the search. It is said that the pretty Sari arrived here with an American army officer some months ago. The two worked their way from Marselles. After a period the officer took to flight and she took to dishwashing, later selling flowers on the city streets. However, all's well now. She is staying at a leading hotel and won't have to wash dishes any more. She will return home with the sheik. It is said her mother and father died of grief over her disappearance. Sari is said to be affianced to the emir and upon return to Turkey will probably be placed under his jurisdiction. CAN'T STEAL BRITISH CROWN New Precautions Taken by Government to Avoid Repetition of Crime of 1671. London.—The authorities at the Tower of London are taking steps to strengthen the protection of the crown jewels that are kept there. Sir George Younghusband, their custodian, is planning to install new thief perplexing devices. The British regalia are kept in a cage in the Wakefield tower electrically connected with two guardrooms. In 1671 Colonel Blood succeeded in stealing the crown. Blamea Jazz Music Wabash, Ind.—Jazz music is the cause of suggestive dancing and must go, according to Mrs. J. M. Ulrich, police matron here. She has asked all fraternities and clubs here to discontinue music of that kind and during the last few weeks a number of jazz selections have been stricken from the dance programs. As a result, Mrs. Ulrich says, dancing here has improved appreciably, and that now there is little or no complaint to be made against dancing as it is done here. $2.00 PER YEAR GERMAN LIVING COST IS HIGH Food Necessaries Show Advances Up to 4,000 Per Cent Since 1914. Official Report From Berlin Declares That Middle-Class Struggle for Existence Is Hopeless—Sugar to Least Affected. Washington.—A report received here through official channels from Berlin outlines by comparative tables of prices of essential commodities in 1914 and 1920 the advance in the cost of living in Germany since the outbreak of the European war. According to the figures, the cost of living for an unmarried clerk living away from home has risen from 177 marks a month in 1914 to 500 marks this year. The actual cost of the essential articles of food for a family of four at present is estimated at 650 marks a month. Clothing Out of Question. Clothing, the report says, is impossible to purchase at present prices. A suit which in 1914 cost 80 marks is now reported to sell for 1,100 marks, a price increase of 1,150 per cent. The cost of shoes has increased over 1,000 per cent. Shoes which in 1914 sold at 15 marks a pair are now bringing 175 marks. Men's shirts which could formerly be bought for 7½ marks each are now being sold for 95 marks, a rise of 1,166 per cent. Similar price increases prevail for all essential commodities, the increases ranging from 225 per cent for electric current to 1,556 per cent for soap, a piece of soap which before the war cost 30 pfennigs now selling for 5 marks. The increase in the cost of food essentials, according to the figures given in the report, is even more startling. The cost of eggs has risen 4,066 per cent, one egg now costing 2½ marks. Lard comes next, with a percentage increase of 3,733. Rice, cereals, butter and bacon have increased in price more than 2,000 per cent. Sugar Increases Least Sugar increases Least. The article of food which has increased least in price since 1914 is sugar, which has gone up the comparatively small amount of 316 per cent. Before the war sugar sold in Germany for 25 pfennigs a pound. It now brings, the report says, 1.04 marks. Milk also has retained a low cost in comparison with the tremendous increases prevailing in most commodities. Its cost has risen 320 per cent. According to the report, the average monthly earnings of the German middle classes are only from 300 to 600 marks. Taking the needs as outlined for existence, the report says, examination of the tables gives some conception of the present hopeless struggle of the middle classes for existence on the meager return of their work. TIPSY CAT LEADS TO LIOUOR New York Revenue Officers Trail Inebriated "Tom" to the Source of Supply. New York—Confounding those who say cats will not drink hard liquor, Harold B. Dobbs, internal revenue agent, avers that a tipsy "Tom" reeling along the street led him and brother officers to a cache of 50 gallons of alcohol and other intoxicating beverages in the cellar of a saloon at Sixth avenue and Forty-fourth street. In the place, according to Dobbs, were several more cats, and all hilarious. Moreover, there was a determined effort made by each cat to obtain a share of a dark brown liquid that had leaked from an overturned demjohn on the floor. Thomas Fitzgerald, proprietor of the saloon, and his bartender, Hugh Leckey, were arrested by Dobbs and charged with violating the prohibition amendment. Girl Sneezed So Hard Eye Popped From Head Sneezing with such violence as to cause her eye to fall out was the experience of Miss Marjorie Pryor of Chester, Pa. The optic was replaced. According to the hospital authorities, it is not unusual for the eye to be removed for some operations, but to have it forced out by coughing or sneezing is unique in medical annals. Miss Pryor has left the hospital, suffering no serious effects from the peculiar experience. ERIN SENDS LIONS TO AFRICA Dublin Zoo Exports Irish-Born Beasts to Dark Continent—First Time on Record. Dublin, Ireland.—Dublin is now exporting lions to South Africa. The Dublin Zoo has a famous lion house, where the animals have been successfully bred. It has been able to supply lions on demand to other zoos in the United Kingdom, but this is the first time an order has been received from Africa. J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER J. Q.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." — John Stuart Mill. SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1920 THOMPSON FOR PRESIDENT. Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago has triumphed over his many political enemies and has carried 34 out of 35 wards in that city thus putting him in complete political control of the second city of the country. By combining with a down-state leader he will be able to control the great state of Illinois and will name the delegates-at-large to the Republican National Convention. The imbecile Republicans who endeavored to read Thompson out of the party, charging him with being pro-German during the war, have been licked to a frazzle. It is very gratifying to THE APPEAL to note that Thompson has been able to win in spite of the opposition of the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Daily News and other hypocritical newspapers, which for political reasons questioned his loyalty. Mayor Thompson is a great American, absolutely devoid of racial prejudice, the representative of all classes of Americans. He is headed for the White House. THE APPEAL nominates William Hale Thompson of Illinois for President of the United States. The conditions may be such as to prevent his nomination by the convention of 1920, but he may be elected Governor of Illinois, and then U. S. Senator and then in 1928, THE APPEAL predicts he will be the candidate of the united Republican party for President and will be triumphantly elected. "PROPER RACE RELATIONSHIP." Since: "Hope Springs Eternal in the Human Breast," we have had new hope to spring in our breast, because Major Joseph B. Cumming, in a signed editorial in The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, the oldest paper in the South, expressed sentiments and facts that cannot but redound to our benefit in the benighted South. He said among other things: "Colored people, as a whole, are a well-disposed and law-abiding people. Literacy has made great progress, and many are fairly and a few highly educated. They have accumulated property and they engage in all the various --- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con The human race ha test.

"We are here—white and black. Either race is too numerous to move away. Humanity revolts with unspeakable horror from the thought of the extermination of either—the fact of it, the process of accomplishing it. We are here. We are living together. We are obliged to live together. The great problem for all of us to study is how we can best do this. "First and foremost in working out the problem must be the cessation of lynching. Can anything be said in its defense? Yes—just one thing: It teaches a lesson of deepest humility. It reveals to us, as if by a search-light, how near human nature is to brute nature, how weak is the barrier between the two, how the barrier once broken down, human nature descends swiftly beyond the brute to ultimate depth of flendishness. It gives a horrible warning that we are moving about, living our lives on a thin and sagging crust of civilization, liable to crumble at any unusual strain and plunge us into unplumbed depths of degradation. No language is strong enough to describe this hideous thing. And then in language which one would wish to quote in full, he dwells upon the horrible details of lynching, and follows this with the conclusion: "If we are to have the harmony, the co-operation, the good feeling, the friendliness, all of which are in their nature attainable, and which are essential to contentment and prosperity, a necessary step is to put down lynching. "Let the voice of the press, the pulpit, the public meeting speak out and cease not against its futility, its savagery, its lawlessness, its insolence to the constituted authorities, its destruction of civilization and its loathsome degradation of its perpetrators. "If these appeals against it fail, let the civil authorities honestly and courageously do their duty. If there is still failure, then the stern use of the military arm." When the worthy leaders of public opinion in the South speak thus, we may well hope for suppression of this awful evil and a better day. "ONE HALF OF THE WORLD DOESN'T KNOW HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES." Most of the people in the United States who are not in the profiler, or bloated bondholder class, cannot help wondering how their friends and neighbors live in these strenuous H. C. L. times? We believe we're having an awful time but how would it be with us if we had to pay as they do in Russia. The Russian ruble is nominally worth a trifle more than half a dollar of our money. Reckoned on that basis, bread in Russia is now selling at $225 a pound, flour at $250 to $350 a pound, beef at $275 to $300 a pound, pork at $360 a pound, salt at $150 a pound, butter at $1,300 to $1,600 a pound, the cheapest tobacco at $2,500 to $3,000 a pound, cigarettes $ to $6 each, and matches, half of which will not light, at $50 a box. Army rations cost $400 to $500 a day for each man. Apparently, the cheapest thing in the country is paper with the ruble mark printed on it. All of which is to be commended to those who are preaching the superiority of the Soviet to the Republic. --- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgmen the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than th world, the countena the hearts of friend I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. once when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- d serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. Nominations have been received for the Hall of Fame at New York University to which fourteen are to be added this fall. Included in the nominations is the name of Frederick Douglass and it is confidently believed his name will receive favorable consideration. Douglass was considered worthy of having a statue erected in his honor in the city of Rochester, N. Y., it will now be eminently fitting to place his name in the Hall of Fame. WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TO? The atrocities that brought on the great world war and which was continued during its four years of activities, seems to have had the effect of hardening the hearts of men everywhere. Life and property weigh nothing in the scale. All sense of reason, right, justice, mercy and every laudable human attribute seems to be entirely lost sight of. All of which causes us to wonder what is this world coming to? Pouring oil on human beings by other human (?) beings and setting fire to them was thought to be a pastime peculiar to prejudiced southerners, but it appears that the Turks in Armenia surpassed them by a large majority when they broke through the roofs of seven churches where Armenians were crowded, poured burning oil on them set the buildings on fire and 8000 perished in the flames. Six thousand more Armenians were killed in the bombardment and a 1000 more died from cold, exposure, lack of food and other causes. Economic conditions at home and abroad are in a deplorable state it seems to be every man for himself and the devil take the hind most which again causes us to exclaim: What is this world coming to? THE BEGINNINGS OF SEGREGA TION. The following item from the Chicago Daily Tribune is interesting as showing the various influences which are suggesting and encouraging segregation. "The possibility of Wendell Phillips High school at Thirty-ninth street and Prairie avenue being set apart for colored pupils exclusively," by a natural segregation," was suggested last night by Principal Charles H. Perrine. At the First Presbyterian church, Grand boulevard and Forty-first street. Dr. Perrine spoke at the first of a series of Sunday night community meetings in connection with the Chicago Plan. "Negro boys and girls deserve the best available in the way of teachers and equipment. The district around Wendell Phillips is rapidly becoming settled by colored people, and there are comparatively few white pupils. They are getting fewer and fewer." "The time is near at hand when we shall need another high school farther south to take care of the increased white population there. A modern high school located somewhere near Fiftieth street will be necessary soon and should be included in the Chicago Plan. Wendell Phillips will be then exclusively for colored pupils. They should be given the finest high school possible." The Rev. William Covert, pastor of the First church, announces a series of discussions on Sunday evenings to consider the duty of the church in the development of the Chicago Plan. Like nine out of every ten schemes for the degradation of the colored people it was suggested by a supposed friend and perhaps there is a "nigger in the woodpile." That is perhaps who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or Perrine had talked with some jimcrow "negro" who approved the outrageous plan. There are some jimcrow "negroes" in Chicago and in other cities including St. Paul and Minneapolis. Like the majority of schemes for the degradation of the colored people it was incubated in a so-called Church of Christ. Principal Perrine said that the district was becoming settled by colored people and therefore Wendell Phillips High School should be made "colored." That would be an outrageous perversion of the name, for Wendell Phillips was a real Christian white man who devoted his life to work in righting the wrongs of his colored brethren. There are neighborhoods in Chicago inhabited almost exclusively by Italian, Chinese, Poles, Russians and other foreigners, but the thought never comes to Mr. Perrine or others of his ilk to restrict the children in those neighborhoods to "exclusive" Italian, Chinese, Polish or Russian schools. The schools remain PUBLIC schools, open to all. There has been much talk about the "Chicago Plan" and now we are getting some intimation that segregation is to be a part of that plan. However we believe that the thinking colored people of Chicago have their eyes open and will be ready to fight jimcrowization of the schools. One thing that Mr. Perrine said is true: "The colored boys and girls are entitled to the best in the way of equipment and teachers." The colored children have the same rights as 'other children, no more and no less. To attempt to segregate them is to take from them their birthright. The only way they can get the "best" is to attend the identical schools that other American children attend. A jimcrow school built of gold and studded with diamonds would still carry with it the degradation for which it was designed. THE "NIGGER" IN THE SEGREGA TION WOODPILE. "Prof. Neval H. Thomas, a 'school teacher in Washington and an active member of its' N. A. A. C. P., concludes a vigorous news article published in the Cleveland Gazette with words which answer the boasts of those who get money for institutions and houses for Colored people that keep the races apart. Says Prof. Thomas: "I have heard many silly Negro advocates of segregation boast of how much money they can raise for a Negro enterprise, too blind to see that most any white man will contribute liberally to any movement that will keep Colored people away from him and make them acknowledge their inferiority. In fact, the most dangerous enemy of democracy with which we have to contend, and the most serviceable capitalistic tool, is organized charity. The large donors to these Negro "charities" are making profitable investments when, through some well-paid Negro, they can establish a separate Y. M. C. A. Y. W. C. A. social settlement, or school. These institutions aid in keeping the toiling masses apart, so that, on the principle of "divide and conquer," these wealthy "donors" can exploit. So, the collection of large "contributions" by these Negro segregationists is no achievement, but another barrier to the progress of the race. I well remember how one of these international "secretaries" boasted of getting the money to build a Negro Y. M. C. A. in the great city of Chicago. If that institution remains there long the great civil rights law of Illinois will be null and void. Already its presence there has popularized a movement for separate schools and segregation as to homes for our people. "No, our solution is not surrender, but FIGHT! Let the churches and welfare clubs of Cleveland exert extra activity for the moral betterment of Cleveland's youth, and your press, pulpit, your ballot, and every other power within you. Agitate for admission into the associations which bear the name of Jesus who was "no respector of persons," until they acquire a sense of shame." THE APPEAL agrees with every word that Mr. Thomas has written. The Y. M. C. A., social settlements, "Community service," and all similar schemes are efforts at segregation, pure and simple. Their purpose is to bar the colored people from quasi-public institutions, to which all other people are admitted without question. When the "colored" Y. M. C. A. was opened in Chicago, THE APPEAL predicted editorially that it would prove a curse, by reason of creating greater prejudice and the prediction has been more than verified. It will take a thousand years to undo the wrong it has done. Possibly ten thousand years may not right the wrongs done by the establishment of jimcrow Christian(?) associations in the United States. The man who has given so much money to divide American Christians along the color line is a Jew. How could it be possible for a Jew to be interested in the spread of Christianity? The idea is ridiculous. The shrewd Jew knew that by catering to the blind prejudice of the so-called white Christians would bring in dollars. He also knew that jimcrow "negroes" would laud him for his "philanthropy" and start a lot of colored men's white silver dollars rolling his way. It was a plain Jewish business proposition. Cupidity not humanity caused him to spend his money for his pet charity." And it has paid. For every dollar he has put in he has taken out two. The colored man must fight to a finish any attempt to bar him from any public or semi-public institution. LIBERIA OUSTED HUNS African Republic Was Only Nation to Expel All Germans During the War. London, March —Liberia is said to have been the only state at war with Germany which expelled every German from within its gates and sequestrated all their property. Before the war there were about 300 German citizens in Monrovia, the capital, and Liberia was rapidly becoming a German protectorate, says Alain Bourchier Lethbridge, in the Daily Telegraph. The Germans, he adds, controlled a giant wireless plant and evidently had made arrangements to use Liberia as a link in the chain of colonial possessions.

The Boys' Club Federation of New York is planning for a wide extension of its work during the coming year, in the interest of the 6,000,000 privileged boys of America, whose need, following the war, is said to be a vital one. Immediate attention is believed to be necessary if these lads are to be reclaimed and moulded into men of character and useful citizens. The Federation is a national organization with a large membership, operating without profit to itself, supported by voluntary contribution, its purpose being to give practical directional training to the boy of limited opportunities, to build him up physique to carry him over the danger period of his youth. As a result of such training, it is been shown by statistics, juvenile deprivation has been materially reduced, and interest aroused in the wholesome things of life, and that the boys of this class under the influence of the club, are soon weaned from the street and prepared for future citizenship. The Boys' Club Federation ordinarily is housed in a building with gymnasium, library, game rooms and meeting rooms for which the boys pay nominal dues of 5 or 10 cents a month. The Federation club is non-sectarian and co-operates with all church denominations and welfare organizations, being the only body of its kind that takes the boy under 12 years—a critical age for the lad of unlimited opportunities—as well as of all other ages, and moulds him with reference to its special needs. His spiritual needs are cared for by the co-operating churches, and many boys without religious home influences or training are thus brought into bed—boy those that, in the majority of cases, could be reached through no other existing channel. One of these federated clubs alone, located in New York City, has an active membership of 6,000 boys, most of whom otherwise would have heartken to the call of the street with all its evil influences and consequences. It is estimated that $66\%$ of the boys of America belong to this class, a vast army for good or evil, and to bring these 6,000,000 and more under-privileged boys into club formation on a community basis—as broad and comprehensive as the public playground, though, more intensive—is the task that the Boys' Federation has set for itself. A few more loyal, able, aggressive, outspoken, fearless and unselfish members of the race like Dr. Wm. A. Byrd, Prof. Neval H. Thomas and Editor Wm. Monroe Trotter would accomplish more for the race in one year than a moving-van full of the "conservative" kind of "leaders," twenty years. The race has been greatly retarded in its progress, for years, and has often lost "ground" unnecessarily because it has been so unfortunate as to have at times been misrepresented by the latter. Sane "radiated" himself in this mentioned, are needed more in this time, and time than ever before and what is most encouraging is the fact that they are slowly but surely increasing in number and our people are at last beginning to appreciate them and what we have set forth in the foregoing. More power to them! SIMMONS AN APOLOGIST His Talks Not Helpful and Inspiring, but Please the White People Who Segregate the Colored People. (From the Boston Guardian.) Houston, Tex., March — It appears from an editorial in our esteemed contemporary, "The Texas Freeman that Roscoe Conkling Simmons did not state the whole truth in his address in the City Auditorium at Houston recently. The Freeman calls much of Simmons' talk 'rot.' Here is a part of the Freeman's criticism: "The Freeman has no grievance against Colonel Simmons, but it says openly and above board that the rot he handed out in Houston, especially an the City Auditorium, was not helpful and all but on the other hand, what was the white people who segregate and humiliate the man every time he turns around want to hear when the apologists and trimmers of the race come among them with their taffy."

You can't very well dodge the toll gates on the road to Success. A girl with a dimple will laugh at any fool thing that a man says. There is nothing so apt to make a man economize as the lack of money. Uncle Sam expects you to keep hens and raise chickens in your back yard. Help your Government and yourself at the same time—buy War Savings Stamps 52¢ How would YOU like a raise like this? FIRST NATIONAL BANK Pay to the order of Rear M.S. Pastor Only Fifty Two Cent 52¢ Each Church Member —and for 34 Years Work THAT is the kind of increase in salary the minister has received. His living expenses have risen just as fast and as far as yours. But he is paid on the average just 52 cents more per church member than he was paid 34 years ago. Every officer of the Government with a war message to deliver appealed to the ministers first of all. But 80% of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family. When hospitals need money they enlist the support of the ministers—and receive it. But when sickness visits the minister or the members of his family they must be treated in a charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer's. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic. And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church; an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church member. All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth. We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense Part of the Inter wage for every min and a chance to do If you want bet better.

On a certain farm of four acres in the Lake Phalen district in 1918 a crop of 400 bushels of navy beans was raised, harvested and sold at $8.00 per bushel; in 1919 owing to certain conditions, only 200 bushels were raised which sold for $7.50 per bushel. The owner of this little farm is unable to work it this year, and wishes to secure a man who understands raising beans to work the land. The owner will furnish the land the machinery and the seed and divide the proceeds on a 50-50 basis. All the man will have to do is to perform the work necessary to raise the beans.

JOHN H. BURKE Henry McColl Candidate for Re-election as Councilman OBITUARY. One of the most sad events of the past week was the sudden taking away of Mrs. Sarah Wilkerson, wife of Mr. Louis H. Wilkerson of 325 W. Central avenue, a Pullman employee, Line No. 567, N. P. N. R. R. Co. The lamentations and heart burnings were made the more pronounced, both because of the short illness and the fact that this admirable and peace-loving couple were just about to move into their newly purchased and remodeled home, 130 E. Arch street, there to spend the balance of their happy and tranquil lives together as the consummation of their thoughts, dreams and struggles. Mrs. Wilkerson was born in St. Louis in 1869 and her demise was just as she reached the prime of life, 51 years. The number of floral tributes coupled with the many letters and telegrams attested in a measure to her sterling and matronally worth. The funeral was held at Lyles' mortuary chapel on last Monday afternoon. Rev. L. C. Anderson officiating. THE DIXIES ARE COMING! The far-famed W. C.

The Porters' and Waiters' Club, 311 Hennepin avenue, is undergoing a thorough remodeling and redecorating that will make quite a change in the popular pleasure resort. The cafe of the Twin City Exchange, 507-9-1 Fourth Street, South, which has been undergoing renovation and re-decoration is again open to the public, looking spick and span and more attractive than ever. The popular Porters and Waiters' Club, 311 Hennepin Ave., has about completed the extensive remodeling and redecorating that has been in progress and there has been a wonderful change made in its appearance. Hotel Stewart, 246 Fourth Avenue S., is generally and officially recognized as a first-class, legitimate hostelry to which the public may give its patronage, safe in the belief that first-class accommodations and cafe service may be had at all times. Mary Helen Taylor of Chicago, late of the famous Taylor Sisters, is a favorite entertainer. The "On to Kansas City" Marching Club of Ames Lodge, Elks, amply sustained its repitation for furnishing pleasing pastimes at its entertainment and Mysterious Contest at South Side Auditorium last Monday night and the more than three hundred guests had a superb time. Of course much in attendance was Mysterious Contest" in which fortunate recipients prized gifts of $2.50 each. Wait and watch for the next stunt this popular club will pull off. The lecture of Judge Wm. H. Harrison of Chicago at St. Peter A. M. E. Church Thursday night for some unknown reason attracted a very small audience, much to the chargin of the managers of Crispus Attucks' Home Association under whose auspices Judge Harrison was brought here. Either Judge Harrison alone, or the cause for which he spoke, should have filled the church. However, those who had the privilege of hearing the eloquent speaker can sympathize with those who sustained the repugnance fully earned in his able, logical man educational address and everyone present left with the feeling that it was well to have been there. The annual joint Memorial and Thanksgiving services held by Ames Lodge No. 106, Minneapolis; Gopher Lodge No. 105; Como Temple No. 128; St. Paul and Minneahua Temple No. 129. I. B. P. O. E. W., were held at St. James A. M. E. Church last Sunday evening. The church was packed to overflowing and hundreds were turned away. The exercises consisted of: Ritualistic services by the Lodges, selections, choir; "Elkdom," Geo. W. Stewart; piano solo, violin obligate, Mrs. George Moore and Mr. F. W. Pleasants; "United," Mrs. John Washington; "Thanksgiving," P. H. Southland; "Opportunities," Mrs. Natalie Baker; "Early Love," E. H. Miller; piano solo, Mather Etheine Sneed; "Looking forward," Geo. W. Robert; "Thanatopsis" W. R. Morris; homen Rev. J. T. Merritt. The following totaled over $111.00 of which $75.00 was presented to the church, $25.00 to Rev. J. T. Merritt, the pastor, and the balance was used to pay for the church decorations. The second appearance of the I. X. L. Players on last Monday evening attracted an audience that completely filled St. Stephens Auditorium, thus showing the high standing of the organization in the minds of the people of the Twin Cities. The members fully sustained the excellent reputation which they have earned by their good work in the historic field by the delightful manner in which they staged, dressed and presented "The Lost Paradise", a drama in three acts, by Ludwig Kida. The members of the club Kida, B. Baker Howard Curry, Jessie M. Glenn, Bobelle Feyl, Helen H. Brady, Clarence A. Hughes, John Thornton, Charles E. Duncan, Henry Roberts, Lady B. Walker, Quay Herndon, Triville Holmes, Paul Curry, Marie Honaker, Marianne E. Jeffrey, Archie James, Thos. B. Stovall, Jr., and John W. Price. Between the acts Mr. John W. Price rendered several tenor selections. A very delightful and taking feature was the Style Revealed presented by Mesdames J. E. Perry, Willie Gouder, Hattie Sherwood (St. Paul), C. W. Bell, Jene Gray, L. Eugene Underwood, R. Duncan Scott; Misses Eydthe Stone, Viola Jackson, Mary James and Mable Geory as staged by Mesdames Willie Gouder and Roxana Lockhart. The music by the school choir included Abey's Syncaped Jazz Orchestra and also for the dancing that followed. Viewed from any angle the affair deux was an unqualified success and reflects great credit upon every one who in any way whatever helped to make it some show! MRS. ROBERT A.

SPECIAL TEMPERANCE BEVERAGES. HOURS: 9 A. M. TO 1 P. M. AND 2 TO 6 P. M. FIRST CLASS GUARANTEED WORK IN ALL BRANCHES OF DENTISTRY WORK FOR DISABLED Technical Agriculture Offers Thousands of Positions. Serve as Stepping Stones to Higher Promotions and Better Compensation. Washington.—Technical agriculture offers thousands of positions as associates, assistants, helpers, extension workers and county agents, and this work is particularly suitable for retrained, disabled men, according to a statement issued by the federal board for vocational education. These positions serve as stepping stones to higher promotions and better compensation soon in the agricultural colleges, experiment stations, agricultural extension service and in state agricultural movements. These institutions and employments lost thousands of men from their student bodies, their faculty and their staffs. Hundreds of men formerly agricultural extension workers and agricultural county agents will never return to those occupations. These places were temporarily filled by unprepared substitutes who will be replaced by trained men as rapidly as possible. The experience abroad, wherein opportunity was given to study the intensive and scientific agriculture of France and other countries, has greatly stimulated interest in these lines, and disabled men with a background of agricultural experience are manifesting keen interest in training for the lines mentioned. Many others who, by reason of their disabilities, are compelled to equip themselves in other lines, and preferably for out-ofdoor occupations, are also manifesting a keen desire to take up the specialized branches of agriculture in the training offered by the federal board. United States Marines Lost 5,199 of 8,000 Washington.—Of the 8,000 officers and men composing the marine brigade when it went into fighting near Chateau Thierry last July 5 to stop the German thrust at Paris, 126 officers and 5,073 men either were killed or rounded. The marines took Lucy-le-Boele, cleaned up Belleau wood and finally captured Bouresches. In disclosing these casualties Major General Barnett, commandant of the marine corps, said published statements from army officers that the marines were not in the fighting at Chateau Thierry were misleading. The marines, he said, were not actually in the town itself, but in the action known officially as the battle of Chateau Thierry. 278 ARE DETHRONED BY WAR Bavaria Leads, With Prussia's Thirty-Three Royalties in Exile Second in List. Berlin.—A German professor figures that the abdications and dethronements in Germany include 278 persons. Bavaria leads with one king, one queen, 15 princes, 16 princesses, five dukes and one duchess. Prussia has sent 33 royalties into exile, including the emperor, empress, 20 princes and 11 princesses. Brunswick is at the bottom of the list, with only the ducal couple and their three children. The two tiny principalities of Reuss, whose area is hardly one three-hundredth part of that of Prussia, have exiled 36 royalties. The principality of Lippe, only about 20 square miles larger than the Reuss states, had a royal family numbering 24 persons. Most extraordinary is the case of Schaumburg-Lippe, with its area of 130 square miles, where there was nearly one royal personage for every five square miles. These included the reigning prince', 17 princes and seven princesses. SAYS FOE ROBBED PRISONERS Steamship Captain Asserts Many Parcel Post Packages "Went Astray." Sydney, Australia—Charges that Germans who handled Red Cross parcels for Australian soldiers in prison camps robbed the prisoners are made by Capt. Alexander Donaldson of the steamship Matunga. He was captured when the Matunga was taken by the German raider Wolf and was sent to a prison camp in the Hartz mountains. "The officer in charge of the camp was an old rogue," said Captain Donaldson. "He seemed to make a business of robbing us of our Red Cross parcels. About 40 per cent of them went astray before the armistice and about 80 per cent after it, owing to disorganization in Germany. The 'Fritz' who had the Job of driving from the station to the camp with our parcels had a habit of dropping a lot of them off at his shop on the way up." Finds Pot of Gold. Virginia, Ill.—John Severon is showing his friends a pot of gold which fell at his feet out of a foundation near Chandlerville.
