Crafts Which Once Flew the Double Eagle Crippled by Plotters.
IMPERATOR IS ONE VICTIM
Giant Vessel Develops List at Sea—Bombs Found on Washington—Moccasin Sunk and Callao Disabled.
New York.—Former German liners and cargo ships, now being operated under the United States flag, appear to have become the objects of sabotage by Germans or "reds," who are determined that the craft that formerly flew the double eagle shall not prove of great value to a nation that helped to overthrow Germany. Great Britain is said to be following similar claws, some of which indicate that the attacks on shipping may be the result of the spread of communism and soviet teachings to the ranks of the International Seamen's union, which controls the men on the ships under the American and other allied flags.
The four most aggravated cases which are being considered involve three American vessels and the Imperator, which is flying the flag of the Camard line since she was turned over to England by the United States. The United States ships are George Washington, on which President Wilson traveled to and from the peace conference, and the cargo carriers Moccasin and Callao.
Attempts to Damage Ships.
The Imperator, while on a trip to Europe early in March, developed a mysterious list while at sea, which her officers and crew were unable to remedy. It is held to have been caused by a deliberate attempt to disable the giant liner.
The Moccasin turned turtle in the Erie basin several months ago. When divers investigated they found her seacocks had been opened and so tampered with that it was impossible to close them. Several bombs were found on the George Washington several weeks ago just before she was scheduled to sail for Europe. The Callao, on her recent arrival at Río de Janeiro, was found in an unseaworthy condition as the result of deliberate tampering with her machinery.
VIA CRUCIS RITE IS REVIVED
Rome Again Witnesses Ancient Ceremony of the Cross in the Coliseum.
Rome, Italy.—After an interval of fifty years, the Coliseum again has been the scene of the picturesque ceremony of the Vina Crucis. Pope Benedict XIV, who reigned from 1740 to 1758, instituted the ceremony by placing a cross in the center of the arena where martyrs had given their lives for the faith, and erecting fourteen stations of the cross. Each Friday the ancient amphitheater witnessed the solemn rite. The practice was abandoned in 1870, when Rome became the capital of united Italy.
The celebrants have once more visited the Coliseum, however, and arrayed in their strange gray garments, which include a cowl covering the head and face, have revived the ceremony of old time. Princess Barberini led a column of women, and among the men taking part in the rite were many from patrician families.
Farmer, Plowing Up Snake
Den, Killed 47 Reptiles.
Peter Neyen, while plowing on a farm near Tipton, Ia., turned over a den of snakes. Neyen run for a grubbling hoe, which was nearby, and with it dispatched the reptiles. There were 15 snakes in the bunch, and they were of every kind and color. Making another round of the field and coming to the same place, Neyen turned over another big roll of snakes, which he immediately killed, and this time the number was 32, making a total of 47 snakes in the bunch. The snakes measured from 15 to 18 inches in length. The only kind missing was the rattlesnake.
Concrete Home for Birds
Philadelphia.—Dr. B. H. Warren is having a concrete tree built on his lawn at West Chester, Pa., to provide homes for birds. The tree is upon a wire frame 15 feet high. Holes of different sizes will lure the birds to nest and rest. At the base of the tree will be a large concrete bath to provide the guests with running water at all times. Imitation limbs on the "tree" will give perching accommodations.
Vicar on War Slang.
London.-Rev. J. Cartmel-Hobinson, vicar of Bedford Park, favors the use of war slang. In his parish magazine he cites "lead-swinger" "funkhole" and "skrilmanker" as good examples. "We church folk, engaged in the holy war, are more polite than expressive," he said. "We prefer archate language which has lost its point by long use. We eling to respectability even if it means nothing, and can neither curse nor bless."
BUILDS GIANT PLANE
Caproni's Latest Machine Will Carry 100 Passengers.
Seaplane Is Now Almost Ready In Italy for Its Trial Flights.
New York.—An enormous seaplane to carry 100 persons is the latest project of Gianni Caproni, famed Italian constructor, now in this city.
All except the finishing touches have been put to the machine, and when Caproni returns to his native land in about six weeks he expects to find the plane completed and ready for its experimental flights. These will be made on Lake Maggiore, near Milan, where the airship is being built.
In this venture the Italian inventor has been forced to summon American genius to his aid. For the seaplane will be driven by eight Liberty engines, developing a total of nearly 3,000 horse power.
"This will greatly increase the co-efficient of safety," Caproni said to me, "for it will be possible for the plane to fly with only five of the engines going."
Comfortable seats will be provided for passengers in this gigantic flying machine, which, if the plans of its designers are successful, should be able to cross the Atlantic with ease.

X-RAYS SHOW ART TAMPER
Examination Reveals Changes Made in Valuable London Paintings.
London—Examination of old masters is the latest use to which the X-rays have been put: At the royal institution Maj. J. M. C. Kays showed two pictures by Dutch masters, one representing the Madonna and another the Crucifixion.
In the former the Madonna appeared to be looking at something which was non-existent on the canvas, but a radiograph examination, proved that the missing something was a child, which a former owner of the picture had evidently disapproved and had painted out.
In the second picture a woman in an attitude of prayer was discovered to have been painted over what was the original figure of a man in monkish garb.
FOOD COSTS MORE SINCE 1913
England, Italy and Germany Have Greater Increase Than United States.
Washington.—The family food budget last February was exactly twice the sum expended for the same articles of food in February, 1913, according to department of labor statistics.
During the same period in Great Britain the increase was 130 per cent, while in Italy it was 187 per cent. Germany outranked all countries enumerated, with an increase of 224 per cent.
Increase in prices of clothing in Germany exceeded 1,000 per cent. A man's suit which before the war cost $20, now sells for $238.
Movie Theater for Church
Reading, Pa.—Plans for changing a moving picture theater into a church one day in the week are being worked out by Rev. Edward F. K. Curran. The priest was sent to this city to take charge of a new parish being formed in the northwestern part of Reading. The first mass will probably be celebrated soon there. The new church will be known as St. Margaret's. Rev. Mr. Curran comes from Philadelphia, where he was formerly of the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, Gray's Ferry road and Fitzwater street.
THE APPEAL.
ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MAY 22. 1920
COAST TO COAST AIR MAIL LINE
Government Officials Plan to Have Service in Operation Soon.
UNCLE SAM WILL MAKE PROFIT
Planes Will Carry Letters From New York to San Francisco in 38 Hours —Lay Route as the-Crow Flies.
Washington—Uncle Sam will soon have an air mail route from New York to San Francisco. Congress has just increased the aerial appropriation to $1,415,000, an increase for the 1920-21 fiscal year of $604,500, to be used for this project.
This will mean that soon it will be possible to mail a letter in New York at 6 p. m. Saturday and get it to San Francisco by 8 a. m. Monday. By rail the same letter could get there no sooner than 8 a. m. Wednesday, more likely Thursday. The postage will be 2 cents. To get a straight fifty-word message through by wire costs $4.70, a night letter $1.30, or a ten-word straight message $1.30.
At the same time, Uncle Sam will make a profit on the letter.
The air mail routes already established are from New York to Philadelphia; New York to Cleveland, with a stop at Bellefonte, Pa; Cleveland to Chicago, with a stop at Bryan, Ohio. Chicago to Omaha, with a stop at Iowa City.
As the Crow Flies.
The route is going as straight as a crow can fly toward the coast. With the new appropriation at an early date the route will be extended from Omaha to Cheyenne, to Salt Lake City or Ogden, to Reno, to Sacramento and to San Francisco.
The first branch route will run from Chicago to St. Louis, which service is to be inaugurated as soon as the factory delivers the planes, which have been ordered for some time. In due time, when appropriations are made, this line will be extended on south to New Orleans.
At the present time twin motor DeHavilands and single motor DeHavilands, capable of carrying 650 and 400 pounds of mail, respectively, are being used. They will be transferred to new routes and Martin and Thomas Morse planes, 1,500-pound capacity, especially built for mail service, will be put on the New York-Cleveland and Cleveland-Chicago routes. The air mail business is growing by leaps and bounds, despite the fact that it is carried for the same rate as other mail. The experiment has been so successful that Postmaster General Burleson looks eagerly to the time when all first-class mail will be carried by airplanes.
"An airplane can put a cumbersome mail-distributing coach out of business," is the way one aerial mail division attache expressed it. "Several of these distributing coaches have been eliminated between Washington and New York. The airplane simply carries the mail, from the south, destined for New York, from Washington on. It arrives in New York early enough to be distributed at the postoffice to the carriers for the day's delivery. New York to Chicago in nine hours.
New York to Chicago in Nine Hours.
Mail leaving New York at 6:30 a.m.
m. by air reaches Cleveland at 12
noon eastern time (8:30 p.m. by mail)
Chicago at 3:15 central time (by rail
at 4:30 the next morning). Air mail
leaving New York at 9 a.m. m. reaches
Washington at 11:36 a.m. and by rail
it arrives at the capital at 3 p.m.
Five Martin planes have been delivered
to the government. They cost
about $40,000 each. Four 1,500-pound
capacity Thomas Morse planes are
being constructed, and when they are
delivered the Chicago-St. Louis branch
will be established.
The postoffice department now has
forty-five planes and twenty-five flyers.
When the routes are extended to
the coast it will have eighty planes.
Since the service was started May 15,
1918, six pilots have been killed.
There are forty-two letters to the
pound. A Martin or Thomas Morse
plane can carry mail on which $1,200
ordinary postage has been paid, to
say nothing of the stimulant the raplu
service offers to persons to send
letters special delivery. All special mail
is supposed to go by the quickest
means. The extra profit to Uclem
Sam in a special is 2 cents, the boy
on the bicycle receiving 8 cents for
delivering it. This would make the
gross revenue for 1,500 pounds of
special delivery mail $2,520.
Magpies Attack Cattle.
Deadwood, S. D.—Reports from the Limestone district of the northern Black hills, say maggies prove a real menace to the live stock. Maggies prefer fresh meat to carrion and when carcasses of dead animals are not to be obtained will attack sheep and cattle. It is said that hundreds of these miniature vultures will circle in the air and then alight on the animal in hundreds and ferociously eat holes in the most tender places.
Finish of a Monkey Faced Owl
Bardstown, Ky.—A fine specimen of the monkey faced owl was killed here in a battle with crows. It measured three feet, tip to tip, and was of bright golden plumage mottled with gray, its eyes being surrounded with long silky feathers of white.
BLASTS OPEN CANAL
Prince Connects Lake Caprolace With Mediterranean.
Noted Italian Engineer Uses 50 Tons of Explosives and 1,200 Bombs in Undertaking.
Rome.—Don Gelasio Caetani, a brother of Prince Caetani, the American trained engineer who laid the mine which blew off the top of the mountain Col di Lana during the war, burying hundreds of Australian soldiers beneath it, has just dynamited a canal into existence from Lake Caprolace to the Mediterranean sea.
The work was undertaken by direction of the prince, also known as the duke of Sermoneta, head of the Roman Campagna and Terracina, a region which the prince has labored for years to reclaim. On the seashore of this strange volcanic region there are three lakes or lagoons, called Fogliano, Monaci and Caprolace, communicating with each other, into which at high tide all kinds of fish find their way, remaining there to breed and fatten for the Roman market, to which every day some ten to forty hundred-weight are shipped.
Only one, that of Fogliano, is directly connected with the sea, and in order to unite that of Caprolace with the neighboring Mediterranean, and to greatly increase the yield of fish, Prince Caetani decided to explode a series of mines so as to form a canal between this lake and the sea.
The undertaking took fifty tons of explosives and 1,200 large bombs, or five times as much as was required to destroy the mountain top. It was successful, opening a channel to the sea.
'SEND US OIL.' FRANCE APPEAL
Twice President Wilson Saved Country From Grave Danger, It Is Shown.
Paris.—Importations of oil would be subjected to government control and oil would be sold in France at prices fixed by the cabinet under the terms of a section of the tax bill being considered in the chamber of deputies. The limited monopoly in oil now held by the government would be extended until the first of next year. Discussion of the proposal in the chamber this week has brought out the fact that France was in grave danger during the war of a shortage of fuel and lubricating oils and that Premier Clemenceau had to appeal directly to President Wilson on two occasions. Profits on oil imported during the war were very large, it was charged, and there was sharp criticism of the Standard Oil company and the British Shell corporation in this connection.
"Crocodile" Eggs Cause
Rush for Antidote.
London.—Practical jokers find the English easy prey. A large number of persons, mostly women, in Newcastle were hoaxed by a stranger who started the report that eggs of a peculiar color, which had been sold over the week-end in local shops, for 5 cents aplce, were crocodile eggs from Egypt, and poisonous.
The only cure for those having eaten the eggs, he said, was peppermint, and there was a rush for the drugstores. One chemist was visited by fifty women who would not leave until they had each been given a dose of peppermint. The eggs came from Denmark.
1,500 DOG TEAMS PASS POST
832 Men Sheltered at Manitoba Stopping Place During the Past Winter.
The Pas, Manitoba.—Sixteen hundred freight teams and 1,500 dog teams passed a stopping place at Rocky lake during the winter, according to the landlord of the stopping place.
This is the main trail to Filn-Flon mine. The landlord, Sam Cook, an Indian war veteran, adds that 832 men stopped with him overnight. He collects 25 cents from each team that puts up there and 25 cents from each traveler who eats there. Sam furnishes the dishes, water and fire only, and his wife looks after these items while Samuel garners in the fees.
If there is any grub left the mushrers usually leave it for their host, and in this way his expenses for feeding himself, wife, two children and a tribe of relatives are kept down materially.
Yes. It Was a "Strad."
Parrottsville, Tenn.—H. C. Blazer found an old violin in the garret of his home here, where it had been undisturbed for half a century. He found it was a Stradivari and was made in 1719. Dust had covered the name on the inside. Blazer doesn't know how the violin came into his family's possession.
No Harps and Viols for Her.
Princeton, Ind.—Mrs. Johanna Tibbets wants band music at her funeral, "I like band music," she says, "and I like it loud." She has just celebrated her ninety-ninth birthday. Hundreds visited her to offer congratulations.
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 Tarnopol—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 baskhevliak, is in an appalling condition; the epidemic has swept in violent 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 in 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 Petura 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, there 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 bolshevism. 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 utterance 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 (06 bushels) to the acre—three times an ordinary crop.
ENDS 150-YEAR FEUD
Trouble Started by Dog Has Just Been Settled.
Egyptian Authorities Interfere When Two Villages Engage in Bloody Battle.
Cairo.—An assize case has ended which is one of the most remarkable held in Egypt for years. It originated in a vendetta, not between families—but between two whole villages, Hamidat and Ashraf, near Keneh, Upper Egypt, northeast of the rulns of Thebes.
One hundred and fifty years ago a dog from the village of Hamidat bit an Ashraf man, who died. A quarrel followed between his relatives and the owner of the Hamidat dog, which developed till all the inhabitants of Ashraf considered that all persons of Hamidat blood were guilty of the death. The hatred of one village for the other became hereditary, and assassination was common between them whenever the conditions of the country favored disorder.
Last spring Ashraf attacked Hamidat in force. A score of Hamidatians were killed, 120 houses were burned and harvests were carried off.
Hamidat remembered the dog and bit back, killing 16 of the assailants. These slayers have just been tried, 71 accused being brought up and one lawyer briefed for every five persons by the defense. Twenty-one received sentence of 10 years' penal servitude. It is noteworthy that the vendetta did not include women, who during 150 years had indulged only in verbal warfare.
"EVERYBODY A SWIMMER"
The "two point side carry." A splendid method of carrying an exhausted swimmer to safety, as demonstrated by the American Red Cross, whose "Water Safety" throughout the United States will, they feel, be a means of saving many persons who otherwise might pay the penalty of carelessness or ignorance in the treacherous waters of our lakes, rivers and oceans. Through every water's port organization the Red Cross seeks to spread the gospel, "Everybody a swimmer—every swimmer a life-saver."
WHO STOLE DINOSAURUS?
Theft of Giant Skeleton From Patagonia Frets Buenos Aires Official.
Buenos Aires.—Who stole the great Patagonian dinosaurus?
This is a question the newspapers are asking, and it is also a question with which Dr. Carlos Ameghino, director of the Buenos Aires Museum of Natural History, would like to have answered.
The dinosaurus, or rather its skeleton, was not stolen from the museum, it should be explained, but from the soil of Patagonia, near Nequen, where, in a remarkable state of preservation, it was discovered by some English engineers a year ago during the excavation of an irrigation ditch. They notified Arthur Smith Woodward, naturalist of the British museum, of the find, who, in turn, communicated with Dr. Ameghino.
From the description of the engineers it appeared the dinosaurus was a monster, even for dinosaur, and of a new species.
Thieves Stripped Distillery
Gauville, Md.—On their sixteenth visit to the warehouse of the Fairchance distillery thieves took the last drop of 45 barrels of liquor left at the distillery at the time war-time prohibition became effective. It is believed that the distillery was the most robbed whisky warehouse in the United States. It is located in a rather lonely spot. The whisky taken is valued at between $30,000 and $40,000.
Mine in His Back Yard
Webb City, Mo.-Back yards here are being turned into mining fields as a result of the operations of Joseph Lewis at the rear of his Liberty street home. Sinking a shaft 80 feet deep Lewis uncovered both lead and zinc deposits. The lead alone pays expenses. In the last week he shipped a carload of zinc ore.

SAY THOUSANDS DIE FROM H. C. L.
United States Scientists Give Startling Facts Gleaned From Investigation.
Claim Vice President Marshall's Adopted Son Killed by Lack of Nutritious Food—Proper Diet Is Needed.
Washington.—The high cost of food is killing thousands of Americans and undermining the health of thousands of others.
This is the deduction made by scientists connected with the government, whose job is to figure out just what kinds of foods are necessary to sustain the human body.
The reason for the H. C. L. casualty list is that the most expensive foods are the ones necessary to good health. Economical shoppers select the cheaper food and thereby deprive themselves and their families of life-sustaining elements.
The disease that develops is called acidosis. It is not a new disease, but its prevalence in America has developed in the last five years. The word "acidosis" is so new that it hasn't got into the dictionary.
Children Most Susceptible
The disease is more prevalent among children. It was the malady that killed Vice President and Mrs. Thomas Marshall's adopted son. That child had been properly cared for after the Marshals adopted him, but he was undernourished before he fell into such fortune hands and several years' of proper feeding failed to restore his health.
"Bread and other starchy foods are the cheapest," said Dr. Carl Vogeltin, professor of pharmacology, government hygienic laboratory. "For this reason they are consumed more extensively. They are the foods that, used to excess, bring on acidosis."
The principal symptom of acidosis is abnormality in breathing. The respiration is more difficult because the lungs are trying to eliminate the excess of poison.
What is the preventive or remedy for acidosis?
Sometimes doctors give bicarbonate of soda or magnolia—alkalines that neutralize the acids—to prevent acidosis after operations, after other anesthesia or relieving established acidosis or diabetes.
Proper Diet Needed.
But to keep from getting acidosis there is a better way. The necessary alkalines can be taken into the body in a mixed diet, containing green vegetables, fruits and milk.
"One cannot emphasize too much the value of milk, fresh vegetables and fruits," declared Doctor Voeglin. "From these foods one gets sodium and potassium carbonates and other inorganic salts that are absolutely necessary in neutralizing the acids if one is to keep well. The juices contain the alkalines the body needs. We should have them regardless of cost, for it is not economy to save money and ruin our health.
"The starchy foods, such as cakes, pies, hominy, hot cakes, biscuits, bread and potatoes should never make up more than 50 per cent of the menu, and should be much less, if possible. People should eat lettuce, cabbage, spinach, carrots, turnips, onions, apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit and other fruit and vegetables.
"String beans contain about the right proportion of foods and we should eat all we can get of them. The people now eat a half-pound of meat a day per capita, which is just 100 per cent too much. Sugar is a luxury that could be entirely eliminated with no bad effects. The best rule to follow is a mixed diet, with emphasis, especially now that summer is near, on the green vegetables and fruits and milk and its producers, and eat plenty of food at regular intervals."
Wolves in Manitoba Meet Trains, Claim
Winnipeg, Man.—According to Christopher Possett, station agent at Gunton Village, a short distance from here, the only thing wolves don't insist on doing in his town is voting. Possett was here to get provincial permission to carry a gun and says the wolves know the railroad timetables as well as the chief dispatcher and come in droves to meet the incoming trains. He was given the permit, bought a gun and loaded up with enough ammunition to last him a year or two.
Returns Watch.
Pittsburgh, Pa.—Another "honest" thief has made his appearance here. This time a watch taken from a hold-up victim was returned to him. According to J. S. Miller, he was held up and robbed of $7 in cash and a watch and chain which was a family heirloom. A few days later Miller noticed something hanging from the knob of his front door and upon investigation discovered that it was his watch and chain.

BUILDING A PLATFORM,
For many years the Republican
party has been indifferent to its faith-
ful allies, the colored people, and
even since the party is in power in
Congress, efforts of good Americans
to get the Republican party to elim
inate jimerowism from legislation
have failed.
Now the platform makers are at
work in Washington. The press dis:
patches tell of many tentative planks,
but there is the usual silence about
fundamental rights which are of more
interest to a group of about 13,000,000
Americans than anything else.
‘There are colored members of the
advisory committee, but we have not
deen able to learn that they have done
anything. Is it possible that they are
jimerow men who are willing to keep
their mouths shut when it is time to

THE APPEAL believes that there
should be a short and strong plank,
with no reference to “the colored
man” or “the Afro-American” or “the
Negro,” but a demand for exact jus-
tice for all Ambrican citizens and
should include:
1. The enforcement of the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
2. A national anti-lynching law.
3. Abrogation of racial segregation
in the civil service of the United
States and in the Army and in the
Navy.
4. Abolition of the jimerow car in
interstate travel.
There must be no evasion. Let the

MADDEN NEARLY MOBBED.
‘The statement that the Confederates
of the days of the slaveholders’ re
bellion were traitors, made by Martin
B. Madden, member of Congress from
Chicago, in the House of Representa
tives at Washington, almost provoked
a clash the other day.
Mr, Madden reiterated fhis state
ment and said that he had no apology
to make and asked:
“Does anyone deny it?”
There was uproar from the Demo:
erats, several Southern members
shouting, “Yes,” and “You're a lar.”
Representative Romjue of Missouri
arose and started toward Madden, as
did Representative Johnson of Missis
sippi, but both stopped short, as South
erners are wont to do, unless it is a
mob of 1,000 masked men ready to
burn a defenceless prisoner at the
stake, in which case they are remark
ably brave.
Madden turned again to the Demo
cratic side and said:
“They were traitors. You say no,
and I say yes. They did try to destroy
the Union.”
In these recent years with South-
erners like Pitchfork Tillman, et al,
it is refreshing to see men like Mad:
den who can not be bluffed by South-
ern bluster. o
Madden told the truth and the
Southerners know it.
“ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIER.”
THE APPEAL of May 1, contained

ity will become an accomplished fact.
‘The great event of the meeting is
to be the unification of the North and
South branches of the church, which
separated over the slavery question
many years before the slaveholders'
rebellion.
When the separation took place the
Northern branch took a stand for
Christianity, humanity and freedom,
while the Southern branch stood for
slavery.
Now after 70 years they are to re
unite by casting aside every vestige
of Christianity, and segregating the
colored members of the church.
It is a plan conceived in hell,
nurtured and sustained by the devil
and a repudiation of the basic princt
ples by the Christ which this great
church claims to follow.
And the disgusting part is, that
some colored men are partners in the
infamy.
‘We learn from the press dispatches

INSISTS UPON ‘SEGREGATION.
It seems that the War Department
is determined to continue its jim-crow
policy. For sometime the people of
Massachusetts have been endeavoring
to have colored men admitted to all
branches of the army, but the adminis
tration at Washington insists that
Americans of different complexion
must not fight together in defense of
Old Glory and that it is the “patriotic
duty” of colored Americans to be satis
fied with jim-crowism.
In a recent letter to Governor Cal
vin Coolidge of Massachusetts, Secre
tary Baker of the War Department
“regretted” that nothing could be done
“as a departure would have to be
made from the War Department's
policy of maintaining separate divi
sions for white and colored troops.”
‘The letter ends with this paragraph:
“It is believed that the colored citi
zens of Massachusetts should be re
minded that it is the better part of
patriotism to volunteer for such serv:
ices as may be required rather than
to attempt to lay down conditions
which the War Department must meet
before services can be expected of
them.” 5
‘When the world war was on colored
American soldiers fought and died for
the native land, although subjected
to the most infamous discriminations
and humiliations, and they would fight
again if their country was menaced,
but we do not believe that they ought
to enlist at all in time of peace un.
less there is a radical change in the
jim-crow policy which ruled during the
‘world war.
THE REASON.
‘The Boston Guardian edited by Wil-
liam Monroe ‘Tratter, is the paper
which stands first and foremost in
the battle against jimerowiem. The
following editorial from a recent issue
is timely:
The reason that a preparatory Y.
M. C. A. or civic contre is a step
backward is that in the North it
means nothing less than an invita-
tion to. white men condueting places
for public patronage or recreation,
to refuse, deny or segregate all col-
ored patronage and point to such an
institution as a just reason for so
doing, and soon the idea as well as
the practice of setting colored Ameri-
cans off by themselves in all places
for public acommodation will spread
until, as in many cities throughout
the North will be found segregating
or denial in theatres, restaurants
and such places, until it reaches the
public schools,
Every attempt to help in any way
the singling out of colored Americans
as a race, in this country, for whom
must be maintained separate places
of public acommodation, must be
defiantly fought, not even lending ear
to the argument so common in cities
of the middle West that such sep.
arate institutions furnishes “Jobs”
for our men and women.

citizenship rights in education ani

A PROPER PROTEST.
A few Southerners objected to the
Presence of six colored girls at the
graduation dinner at the fashionable
Hotel Margaret in Brooklyn, N. Y.
‘The colored girls, among whom was a
daughter of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, edi
tor of The Crisis, protested through
Dr. DuBois to the Board of Education
and Superintendent Tildsley informed
the Girls’ High School authorities that
the colored girls would have to be ad.
mitted on an equality with all others
or there would be no dinner. ‘The din.
ner took place, the colored girls were
present, there were no unpleasant in-
cidents and the Hotel Margaret is still
standing.
McADOO NOT THE MAN.
William G. McAdoo, former secre-
tary of the treasury in a recent letter
in reply to a notice that he had been
indorsed for the presidency by a trade
council replied with a lot of bunk that
“America needs its greatest man” and
that he doubted that he possessed the
qualifications necessary.
Well, Mr. McAdoo certainly took an
accurate measure of himself. He is
not in any sense a man fit to be presi-
dent of a republic. He is a sectional-
ist who believes wholly in the South
and has been one of the main props
to keep the South in the saddle in the
Past seven years. He has no concep-
tion of a government, “of, by and for
the people.”
And we must not forget that he is
the man who originated segregation
in the treasury department at Wash-
ington.
WHAT A LIED
__ ‘The amount of bunk just now being
offered to the public in advertisements
‘jin which quotations from the Bible
and the sayings of Christ, are made
@ conspicuous part, is almost beyond
belief.
One of the most recent buncotsts 1s
the Order of Moose, which has flaring
headlines in the papers like these:
“MOOSE EXEMPLIFIES SERMON
ON MOUNT.”
“MOOSEHEART IS THE GOLDEN
RULE IN ACTION.”
Down near the end of the advertise-
ments one finds @ notice that “ANY
WHITE MAN MAY BECOME A
MEMBER.”
Such advertising is a profanation of
the “Sermon on the Mount.”
DUMB CANDIDATES.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People an
nounces that fifteen of the seventeen
presidential candidates failed to reply
to a questionnaire sent them by the
Association on February 18, and re
peated on March 12, asking thei
views on seven main issues which
colored people regard as fundamental
The questionnaire asked whether they
were in favor of the enactment of fed:
eral laws against lynching; whether
they would advocate Congressional en
forcement of the Fourteenth Amend
ment by reduction of representation
of states which disfranchise their citi
zens, or whether they would advocate
as an alternative the appointment of
United States Commissioners to on-
foree the Fifteenth Amendment
whether they would endeavor to bring
about the abolition of jim crow cars
in interstate traffic; whether they
Would urge National aid to elementary
education without discrimination
against colored children: whether they

in proportion to their numbers in the
population; whether they would abol-
ish radical segregation in the civil
service of the United States; whether
‘they would withdraw armed or other
interference with the independence of
Haiti,
"The two candidates who replied to
the Association's questionnaire were
Senators Harding and Poindexter, the
former stating that it was not consist-
ent with his views to take up the cate-
gorical questions asked by the Associ-
ation, that conventions are called
‘upon to enunciate platforms and poli-
oles and that the candidate selected

COLORED COLONIALS.
ae Sr Tee ee eee
‘The employment of colored men be-
came a subject of much importance at
an early stage of the American War
of Independence. The British natur-
ally regarded slavery as an element
of weakness in the condition of the
colonies, in which the slaves "were
umerous, and laid their plans to gain
the colored men and induce them to
take up arms against their mastera
by promising them liberty on this con
dition,
The situation was looked upon by
the public men of the colonies as
alarming, and several of them urged
the Congress to adopt the policy. of
emancipation. But while the general
question of emancipation was de-
feated, the exigencies of the contest
again and again brought up the prac-
tleal one of employment for colored
men, whether bond or free,

that they were forbidden to enlis
“any person who is not an American

and ‘family and ts a settled person

Many Colored Men Enrolled,
Notwithstanding all this, the fact
remains, according to Bancroft, that
“the roll of the army at Cambridge
had, from {ts first formation, borne
the’ names of men of color.” Free
colored men stood in the ranks by the
side of white men. In the beginning
of the war they had entered the
provincial army, and the colored men,
Uke others, were retained in the serv.
co after the troops were adopted by
the continent.”
A committee on conference, consist
ing of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harr!
son and Thomas Lynch, met at Cam.
bridge, October 18, 1775, with the
deputy governors of Connecticut and
Rhode Island and the committeo of
the council of Massachusetts Bay, to
confer with Gen. Washington, and’ ad
vise a method for renovating the
army. On the 28d of October the
negro question was presented and dis
posed of as follows: “Ought not ne
groes to be excluded from the new
enlistment, especially such as are
slaves?” ‘all were thought improper
by the council of officers. It was
agreed that they be rejected alto
gether.
In general orders, {ssued November
12, 1776, Washington says: “Neither
Rogroes, boys unable to bear arms
nor old men unfit to endure the fe
tigues of the campaign are to be en

Permitted Their Enlistment.
Washington, however, in the last
days of the year, under ropresenta
tions to him that the free colored men
who had served in his army were vers
much dissatisfied at being discarded,
‘and fearing that they might seek em:
ployment in the British army, took
the responsibility to depart from the
resolution respecting them and gave
Ucense for their being enlisted.
‘Washington promised that if there
was any objection on the part of Con
gress he would discontinue the enlist
ing of colored men, but, on January
16, 1776, Congress ‘determined “that
the free negroes who had served faith:
fully in the army at Cambridge may
be re-enlisted therein, but no others.”
‘The entire aspect’ of the affair
changed when, in 1779 the South be
gan to be invaded. South Carolina
especially, ‘was unable to make any
effectual efforts with militia, by reason
of the great proportion of citizens
Recessary to remain at home to pre

who were assiduous in their endeavors
to excite both revolt and desertion,
‘The result was that in all the South

lutions to enlist the colored men, and
the colored patriots of the Revolution
are as much entitled as their white
brethren for the ardor with which
they fought the common enemy,
whether they were bondmen or free

number of colored men who served in

Terrell had this sent out over the
country and the way the press dis:
played it. He says the Judge presided
at a meeting for Sen. Borah to oppose
the 15th amendment. Then he speaks
as follows:
“He even sanctioned separate rec
reational centers for colored and
white troops, with those of the col
ored immensely inferior, in spite o}
the fact that the blood of white an¢
black alike was flowing in one crim
son stream in distant France. Onl3

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS,
Some get-rich-quick concerns are
endeavoring to persuade patriotic
Liberty bond holders, whom they
know will not sell outright their Lib-
erty bonds, to turn over their Liberty
bonds to these companies as security
for a loan and with the money thus
borrowed purchase stock in thelr
companies.
A Liberty loan bond is the safest
investment in the world, and a pru-
dent man will very carefully investt-
gate any effort to induce him to ex-
change it for a less safe investment.
This lending one money on Liberty
bonds as security to purchase stock
in the lender’s company is in many
cases only a thinly disguised method
of exchanging stock of doubtful value
for Liberty bonds of unquestioned
value.

RETRIBUTION,
There was a man whose fame was
won,
By blowing in an empty gun,
No sooner in the gun he blew,
Than off this mortal sphere he flew,
And met the girl in yonder scene,
Who lit the fire with kerosene.
And there he saw in vengeance dire,
The one who called a man a liar,
He was huddling close as if for life,
Beside the man who whipped his wife.
‘Take warning each, take warning all,
For retribution sure will fall
On him who does a careless deed,
Or wrongs another without heed.
