ONION A STRONG CLIMBER Potatoes and Sugar Increase Considerably in Price Since January—Corn Flakes Only Article to Hold Firm. Washington—Startling increases in prices of some foodstuffs in the year of 1919, from January, 1919, to January, 1920—an increase of 120 per cent in onions, for instance—and recorded in a chart prepared by Royal Meeker, commissioner of the bureau of labor, statistics of the United States department of labor, which is published in the Monthly Labor Review, the official publication of the department. The chart, which appears upon casual observation to be an illustration of the sun's rays or an optical vision, is found upon close inspection to be hardly so harmless an apparition. Forty-one articles of everyday food were kept track of for the year, retail prices for various cities in the country being recorded. It was found that twenty-five of these forty-one articles had increased in price; the others in the main showed decreases, only one article, package corn flakes, holding firm for a year. Onions a Strong Climber. The humble onion—which, despite its humbleness is the base of many foods prepared by the poorer of the foreign families—sold for 4.1 cents on Jan. 15, 1019; a year later the price recorded is 9 cents, an increase of 120 per cent. Cabbage was next in line with a 98 per cent ascent, while the other foods which showed an upward trend, with their percentage of increases, were: Potatoes, 69; granulated sugar, 65; raisins, 53; prunes, 47; coffee, 41; wheat (wheat), 47; rolled oats, 18; canned shark, 12; bananas, 11; oleomargarine and stricty eggs, 10; bread, 8; fresh milk and corn meal, 6; hens, butter, 5; evaporated milk, storage eggs, 4; lard, macaroni, 2; lamb, tea, 1. Hurrah! Beans Are Cheaper. The articles which showed a decrease and the percentage of decreases recorded were: Navy beans, 18; plate beef, 26; bacon, 14; canned tomatoes, 11; chuck roast, baked beans, 10; pork chops, 8; ham, cat d corn, 6; round steak, 5; rib roast, 4; cheese, canned beans, 2; sirloin steak, oranges, 1. Potatoes and sugar have increased considerably in price, especially in Chichester this winter, so that the present comparative prices on these two items would show appreciably larger percentages of increases now than the federal record shows for January of this year. Another tabulation in the same bulletin lists percentage of price increase since 1913, the high lights of which are 101 per cent increase for pork chops, 102 for lamb, 107 for hen, 121 for lard, 123 for strictly fresh eggs, 143 for storage eggs, 45 for wheat flour, 120 for corn meal, and last, but by no means least, a 238 increase in potatoes and a 207 raise in granulated sugar. There were no items showing a decrease for that period. GERMANY BUYS STATE ROADS Berlin Regime Pays 40,000,000,000 Marks for the Federated States Railways. Berlin—Forty billion marks ($10,000,000,000 prewar value) is involved in the government's purchase of the Federated States railways, which has been approved by the national assembly. The annual interest incurred in the nation's huge investment is estimated at 14,000,000 marks ($4,750,000 prewar value). The government is not oversanguine with respect to early returns from the investment, in view of the dilapidated condition of the railways, the delayed output from repair shops and continued demands by the men for wage increases. Doctor Bell, in the national assembly the transaction as one of the most gigantic ever effected by any parliament. The minister added that more than a million employees of the railways will be on the government pay roll. He admitted that the government had to pay heavily for a final settlement with the various states. Tom Cat as Security. St. Joseph, Mo.—A mortgage filed with the register of deeds at Stockton, Mo., to secure a debt of $46 includes as security one black tom cat, with white feet, named Tom. As no other articles were filed, the other articles pledged, it is evident that was considered the most valuable part of the security by the mortgage. Proof of Mallce Required. Raleigh, N. C.—Newspapers in North Carolina in publishing attacks on public officials cannot be penalized for libel unless the state proves malice, according to a recent decision of the United States Court. The court holds that public policy confers a qualified privilege of discussion and criticism of public officials. 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 could produce any just now because they had all gone to the theatre. "I was told the Chinese, if commanded by their own officers were excellent soldiers, but they ran like hakes 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 coolies in which they came to Russia to the rank of soldier, of the one." "If the 'holyskik' (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 boltskjå says kill, he kills with an unperturbed face. And when boltskjå says, 'You may stop now,' with the same cool face he lets his wifemgo into. He is dependent 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 la 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 severely, officers of the stemship of Oicast, 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 "Ols asked a Warren boy scout for a definition of hash in an examination or a cooking merit badge the scout applied: "Hash is not made; it just accumulates." THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1920 Former Service Men May Now Convert Their Insurance Into Permanent Policy. PROVISIONS ARE VERY LIBERAL Ruling Permits Reinstatement or Lapsed or Canceled Insurance Before July 1, Regardless of How Long Man Has Been Discharged. Washington.—When Congress passed the war risk insurance act, which has been characterized as "the most liberal law ever placed on the statute books of a grateful nation," it provided that the war-time policies, which were planned to endure for only five years, might be converted into permanent forms of life insurance to be issued by the United States government. Announcement of the actual provisions of the new policies which now is made, was deferred until necessary supplemental legislation could be passed, in order that the policies might be made models of liberality. These policies are issued to former and active service men and women of the American forces, on terms which have been made exceptionally favorable, in recognition of their sacrifices. The government pays all the costs of administration. A total of 4,610,388 applications for war risk insurance, representing more than 50,000,000,000, have been received in the bureau of war risk insurance. The applicants, in many cases, have been awaiting definite announcement of the terms of the new policies, before applying for conversion of their war risk insurance to permanent Others canceled their war risk insurance or permitted it to lapse. Inasmuch as it is necessary that the war risk (term) insurance must be in effect at the time of conversion to one of the permanent forms of insurance. it is anticipated that many who drive their insurance will hasten to reinstitute it under the liberal ruling which permits reinstitution of la. or canceled insurance, any time before July 1, 1920, on payment of only two monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, the application to be accompanied merely by a satisfactory statement of health. The six permanent forms of United States government life insurance into which the war-time insurance may be converted are: 1. Ordinary life. 2. Twenty-payment life. 2. Twenty-payment life. 3. Thirty-payment life. 4. Twenty-year endowment. eighteen-year endowment. 5. Thirty-year endowment. 6. Endowment maturing at age sixty two. The New and Important Features. The principal features in the United States government life insurance contracts, which have been approved by Secretary of the Treasury D. F. Houston and are being issued by Director R. G. Cholemley-Jones of the bureau of war risk insurance are: First, that the insured has three optional settlements: Option 1. Insurance payable in one sum. Settlement under this option will be made only when the form has been selected by the insured during his lifetime or the payment in one sum is requested in his last will and testament. Option 2. Insurance payable in elected installments. The monthly installments are payable for an agreed number of months under their form of contract (not less than 63) to the designated beneficiary, but if such beneficiary dies before the agreed number of monthly installments has been paid, the unpaid monthly installments will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary provisions of the policy. Option 3. Insurance payable in installments through life. The installments may be payable throughout the lifetime of the designated beneficiary if they so elect, but if such designated beneficiary dies before 240 such installments have been paid, the remaining unpaid monthly installments will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary provisions of the policy. Defective Page 1. Ordinary life BIDDIE GROWS SPURS Chicago Surgeon Produces He-Hen With Knife. Transplanted Glands Cause Hen to Develop All Characteristics of Chanticleer. Chicago.—The experiments of Dr. Victor D. Lospassein of the Northwestern university in tinkering with the sex of the common hen and his demonstrations before medical experts have aroused the interest of chicken growers. "It was a simple enough operation," explained Doctor Lospassein; "just the transplanting of the interstitial glands of a rooster to a hen. But the result was stirring and perhaps no one was more interested than the hen herself. Within a few weeks she began to develop all the characteristics of a chanticleer. "She grew a comb and wattles, Saddle feathers appeared next and finally a pair of spurs. She took to sturting pomphously about the barnyard, lording it over the other fowls. "Instead of cackling, our nearrooster would essay a feeble kee-kee. A full-sized he-crow is about the only thing that's lacking to complete her-or, I might say, his—roosterhood. "The he-en is now on a farm in the suburbs of Chicago. In further experiments with animals, Doctor Lospassein succeeded recently in producing "Siamese Twin" dogs. These didn't live long, but were perfect specimens. Rodolph Herbert Judge William Morris was cheered by tenants and court attaches when he removed his robe and, standing in his shirt sleeves, told one Chicago landlord he could "go to the Supreme court, or to h—" MRS. SPIKER NOW CITIZEN English Girl is Made Happy by Action of Bureau of Immigration. Baltimore, Md.-Mrs. Emily Knowles Spiker, the English girl who married the brother of the father of her baby, Alfred Ray Spiker, in Fall River, Mass., was made happy by notification from the bureau of immigration of the department of labor that she had been officially recognized as an American citizen and will not be deported. The bureau also informed her lawyer that the two Liberty bonds of $800 each, put up by Mrs. Cora Spiker, wife of the father of her baby, would be returned to her by the treasury department. The Spiker case has attracted widespread attention, owing to the attitude of Mrs. Cora Spiker, the wife of the returned soldier, who made affidavit that she had forgiven her husband and that his confession had caused no change in the marital happiness, and to the attitude of Guy Spiker, her brother-in-law, who, before he had seen the girl, expressed his willingness to marry her. IS READY FOR TOURISTS France Will Use Hospital Trains to Carry Sightseers Over Battlefields. Paris—Hotel accommodations in France being limited, French authorities designated to handle the tourists that will visit the battlefields in the country this summer plan to use hospital trains to carry the sightseers. Each train will be arranged with all the necessities for a week or ten-day tour of the British, French and American fronts. France expects 500,000 American tourists this summer. Steps have been taken to prevent hotels in the larger towns and cities from charging excessive rates. A New Plutocrat Looms Up. Bluefield, W. Va.—Before he left for the army a Coeburn boy bought a barrel of whisky and buried it. Recently he was discharged from service and today he is $1,200 richer than he was. Revenue officers would be interested in learning how and to whom he made the sale. FORMER GERMAN LINERS MARKED Crafts Which Once Flew the Double Eagle Crippled by Plotters. 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 subatage 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 Cunard line since she was turned over to England by the United States. The United States ships are George Washington, on which President Wilson traveled 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 months before she was scheduled to sail for France, but on her recent arrival at Rio 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 Cememony 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 Via Crucis. Pope Benedict XIV, who reigned from 1740 to 1758, instituted the ceremony by placing a cross in the center of the arena where the priest had given their lives for the faith, creating fourteen stations of the cross, creating Friday the ancient amphitheater witnessed the solemn rite. The practice was abandoned in 1870, when Rome became the capital of united Italy. The celebrates 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 ran 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 bird, wolf of snakes, which he immediately killed, and the 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 provide the guests with running water at times. Imitation limbs on the "tree" will give perching accommodations. Vicar on War Slang London.-Rev. J, Cartmel-Robinson, vicar of Bedford Park, favors the use of war slang. In his parish magazine he cites "lead-swinger," "tunkholle," and "skrimshanker" 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 cling to respectability even if it means nothing, and can neither curse nor bless." If you have ought that's fit to sell, Use printer's ink, and use it well. ALASKA OFFERS PULP Forests Could Relieve Shortage, Says Governor Riggs. Billions of Feet of Paper Wood Avail- able 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 de- closed 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 nor- thern 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 lodgepine 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 horbs 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 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 out of 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 torpedoed out of charge for services rendered because of the condition of the parties. It is declared this man has since died. Captain Steinbrick 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-callous 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 excavated from the department of geology from the Smithville tution. Geologists here say that it is fairly old—a billion and a half years, approximately. $2.40 PER YEAR 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 The One in Charge at Tarnopel—Shortage of Supplies. Warsaw—General Peturra'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. Bezkalu, to Warsaw to appeal for assistance in fighting the incredible typhus conditions in the Peturra country. He reports that 10,000 men, the remnants of Peturra's Ukrainian force, have been stricken with the disease and that the 30,000 men of the East Galician army, commanded by Pavlenko, who from time to time have co-operated with Peturra, 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 holeshield, is in an appalling condition; the epidemic has swept in vulent 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 supplied the team with the supplies the commission brought have proved insufficient. Several officers and men of the commission have died, including a colpolet who was in charge of the work at Tarnopol. So there is small prospect that Peturau 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 bolshevkii, there arrived here a Doctor Czechowitz, who over a year ago was impressed into the bolshevkii 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 bolshevkii Russia and that conditions this year are worse there than last year, there 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 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 "yeoman" which has yielded 12 quarters (06 bushels) to the acre—three times an ordinary crop.

NO. 45 DATA SHOW RISE OF FOOD COSTS Startling Increases in Prices Revealed by Bureau of Labor Statistics. ONION A STRONG CLIMBER Potatoes and Sugar Increase Consid- erably in Price Since January— Corn Flakes Only Article to Hold Firm. Washington—Startling Increases in prices of some foodstuffs in the year of 1919, from January, 1919, to January, 1920—an increase of 120 per cent on onions, for instance—and recorded in a chart prepared by Royal Meeker, commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor, which is published in the Monthly Labor Review, the official publication of the department. The chart, which appears upon casual observation to be an illustration of the sun's rays or an optical vision, is found upon close inspection to be hardly so harmless an apparition. Forty-one articles of everyday food were kept track for the year, retail prices for various cities in the country being recorded. It was found that twenty-five of these forty-one articles had increased in price; the others in the main showed decreases, only one article, package corn flakes, holding firm for a year. Onions a Strong Climber The humble onion—which, despite its humbleness is the base of many foods prepared by the poorer of the foreign families—sold for 4.1 cents on Jan. 15, 1019; a year later the price recorded is 9 cents, an increase of 120 per cent. Cabbage was next in line with a 98 per cent ascert, while the other foods which showed an upward trend, with their percentage of increases, were: Potatoes, 69; granulated sugar, 65; raisins, 53; prunes, 47; coffee, 41; rice, 31; flour (wheat), 23; rolled oats, 18; canned salmon, 16; bananas, 11; oleomargarine and strictly fresh eggs, 10; bread, 8; fresh milk and corn meal, 6; hens, butter, 5; evaporated milk, storage eggs, 4; lard, macaroni, 2; hamb, tea, 1.

Potatoes and sugar have increased considerably in price, especially in Chicago, since January, so that the present comparative figures on those two items would show appreciably more increases now than the federal record shows for January of this year. Another tabulation in the same bulletin lists percentage of price increase since 1013, the high lights of which are 101 per cent increase for pork chops, 102 for lamb, 107 for hen, 121 for lard, 123 for stricty fresh eggs, 143 for storage eggs, 45 for whent flour, 120 for corn meal, and last, but by no means least, a 238 increase in potatoes and a 207 raise in granulated sugar. There were no items showing a decrease for that period. GERMANY BUYS STATE ROADS Berlin Reglme Pays 40,000,000,000 Marks for the Federated States Railways. Berlin.-Forty billion marks ($10,000,000,000 prewar value) is involved in the government's purchase of the Federated States railways, which has been approved by the national assembly. The annual interest incurred in the nation's huge investment is estimated at 14,000,000 marks ($47,500,000 prewar value). The government is not oversangering with respect to early returns from the investment, in view of the dilapidated condition of the railways, the delayed output from repair shops and continued demands by the men for wage increases. Doctor Bell, minister of transport, described in the national assembly the transaction as one of the most gigantic ever effected by any parliament. The minister added that more than a million employees of the railways will be admitted to the government that may heavily for a final settlement with the various states. Tom Cat as Security St. Joseph, Mo.—A mortgage filed with the register of deeds at Stockton, Mo., to secure a debt of $46 to includes as security one black tom cat, with white feet, named Tom. As no other articles were filed, their articles pledged, it is evident the case was considered the most valuable part of the security by the mortgage. Proof of Mallce Required. Raleigh, N.

The court holds that public policy confers a qualified privilege of discussion and criticism of public officials. 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 about them. As a joke, I asked aeyer to meet me 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 ran 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 cages to coolies in which they came to Russia to the rank of soldier, of the guards.

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 systems at the Salt River valley in Arizona. These ditches were all dug by hand, according to Mr. Robinson, and clay hanks 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 Ranay, a sailor. De Ranay alleges that after he had been severely, officers of the steamship Guifcoast, 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 water. The oysters are constantly replenished and the flow water has been found to wash all impurities from the oysters which, after a week's "treatment" are shipped to the retailers. Hash?

THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1920 NEW WASHINGTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY POLICIES READ Former Service Men May Now Convert Their Insurance Into Permanent Policy. PROVISIONS ARE VERY LIBERAL Ruling Permits Reinstatement of Lapsed or Canceled Insurance Before July 1, Regardless of How Long Man Has Been Discharged. Washington.—When congress passed the war risk insurance act, which has been characterized as "the most liberal law ever placed on the statute books of a grateful nation," it provided that the war-time policies, which were planned to serve for only five years, might be converted into permanent forms of life insurance to be issued by the United States government. Announcement of the actual provisions of the new policies which now is made, was deferred until necessary supplemental legislation could be passed, in order that the policies might be made models of liberality. These policies are issued to former and active service men and women of the American forces, on terms which have been made exceptionally favorable, in recognition of their sacrifices. The government pays all the costs of administration. A total of 4,610,838 applications for war risk insurance, representing more than $40,000,000,000, have been received in the bureau of war risk insurance. The applicants, in many cases, have been awaiting definite announcement of the terms of the new policies, before applying for conversion of their war risk insurance to permanent forms. Others canceled their war risk insurance or permitted it to lapse. Inasmuch as it is necessary that the war risk (term) insurance must be in effect at the time of conversion to one of the permanent forms of insurance, it is anticipated that many who dropped their insurance will hasten to reinstate it. The liberal ruling which permits reinstated insurance, any time before July 1, 1920, on payment of only monthly premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, the application to be accompanied merely by a satisfactory statement of health. The six permanent forms of United States government life insurance into which the war-time insurance may be converted are: 1. Ordinary life. 2. Twenty-payment life. 3. Thirty-payment life. 4. Twenty-year endowment. 4. Twenty-year endowment. 5. Thirty-year endowment. 6. Endowment maturing at age sixty two. The New and Important Features. The principal features in the United States government life insurance contracts, which have been approved by Secretary of the Treasury D. F. Houston and are being issued by Director R. G. Cholmeley-Jones of the bureau of war risk insurance are: First, that the insured has three optional settlements; Option 1. Insurance payable in one sum. Settlement under this option will be made only when the form has been selected by the insured during his lifetime or the payment in one sum is requested in his last will and testament. Option 2. Insurance payable in elected installments. The monthly installments are payable for an agreed number of months under the testament (not less than G3) to the designated beneficiary, but if such beneficiary dies before the agreed number of monthly installments has been paid, the remaining unpaid monthly installments will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary provisions of the policy. Option 3. Insurance payable in installments through life. The installments may be payable throughout the lifetime of the designated beneficiary if they are paid in installments with the beneficiary payments before 240 such installments have been paid, the remaining unpaid monthly installments will be payable in accordance with the beneficiary provisions of the policy.

Transplanted Glande Cause Hen to Develop All Characteristics of Chanticleer. Chicago.—The experiments of Dr. Victor D. Lospasinse of the Northwestern university in tinkering with the sex of the common hen and his demonstrations before medical experts have aroused the interest of chicken growers. "It was a simple enough operation," explained Doctor Lospasinse; "just the transplanting of the interstitial glands of a rooster to a hen. But the result was surprising and perhaps no one was more surprised than the hen herself. Within a few weeks she began to develop all the characteristics of a chanticleer. "She grew a comb and wattles, Saddle feathers appeared next and finally a pair of spurs. She took to sturting pompously the barnyard, lording it over the other fowl. "Instead of cackling, our nearrooster would essay a feeble kee-kee. A full-sized he-crow is about the only thing that's lacking to complete her-or, I might say, his—roosterhood." The he-ben is now on a farm in the suburbs of Chicago. In further experiments with animals, Doctor Lepinase succeeded recently in producing "Slamsee Twin" dogs. These didn't live long, but were perfect specimens.

Baltimore, Md.—Mrs. Emily Knowles Spiker, the English girl who married the brother of the father of her baby, Alfred Ray Spiker, in Fall River, Mass., was made happy by notification from the bureau of immigration of the department of labor that she had been officially recognized as an American citizen will not be deported. The bureau also informed her lawyer that the two Liberty houses of $500 each, put up by Mrs. Cora Spiker, wife of the father of her baby, would be returned to her by the treasury department. The Spiker case has attracted widespread attention, owing to the attitude of Mrs. Cora Spiker, the wife of the returned soldier, who made affidavit that she had forgiven her husband and that his confession had caused no change in the marital happiness, and that she had given her brother-in-law, who before, had seen the girl, expressed his willingness to marry her. IS READY FOR TOURISTS France Will Use Hospital Trains to Carry Sightseers Over Battlefields. Paris—Hotel accommodations In France being limited, French authorities designated to handle the tourists that will visit the battlefields in the country this summer plan to use hospital trains to carry the sightseers. Each train will be arranged with all the necessities for a week or ten-day tour of the British, French and American fronts. France expects 500,000 American tourists this summer. Steps have been taken to prevent hotels in the larger towns and cities from charging excessive rates. A New Plutocrat Looms Up. Bluefield, W.

IMPERATOR IS ONE VIGTIM Giant Vessel Developes 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 Cunard 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 Mocasin and Callao. A man to Damage Ships. The Imperator, while on a trip to Europe early in March, described 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 gilner 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 months before she was scheduled to sail. But the Calho, on her recent arrival at Rio 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 Catholic Church Rome, Italy—After an interval of fifty years, the Coliseum again has been the scene of the picturesque ceremony of the Via Crucis. Pope Benedict XIV, who reigned from 1740 to 1785, 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. They have once more visited the Coliseum, and drayed 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, who plowing on a farm near Tipton, Ia., turned over a den of snakes. Neyen ran for a grubbing 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 bird roof of snakes, which he immediately killed, and the 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 provide bait to provide the guests with rummage times. Imitation limbs on the "tree" will give perching accommodations. Vicar on War Slang London.-Rev. J. Carmelt-Robinson, vicar of Bedford Park, favors the use of war slang. In his parish magazine he cites "lead-swinger," "tunkhole," and "skrimshanker" 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 cling to respectability even if it means nothing, and can neither curse nor bless."

Billions of Feet of Paper Wood Avail- able for Manufacture Into Newsprint. Seattle—Alaska wants to throw open her millions of acres of nati- onal 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 de- clared 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 nor- thern 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. 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 horizons 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 Hunter Uncover Phenomenon In Green Mountain, near Canon Mountain Canon City, Colo.-Gently swaying to and trot, 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. The commissioner of Canon City, and V. Hodgkin, 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 report, is about 100 cubic feet three feet in depth and the continuous granite formation has been entirely disconnected. SAYS LAWSUITS ARE CHEAP New York Judge Denies Charge That Poor Do Not Receive 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 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 Sink Sussex Dead. Berlin.—A first lieutenant in command of a German submarine torpedoed the English channel steamer Statenburg. The ship was 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-callous as they are, they have taken a special interest just now in a rock that makes Monroe county varieties youngsters in comparison.

U. S. RELIEF BOARD SWAMPED Several of Its Officers and Men Have Died, Among The One in Charge at Tarnopol—Shortage of Supplies. Warsaw—General Peturla'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 Peturla country. He reports that 10,000 men, the remnants of Peturla's Ukrainian force, have been stricken with the disease and that the 30,000 men of the East Galician army, commanded by Pavleni, who from time to time have co-operated with Peturla, 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 bolshevki, is in an appalling condition; the epidemic has swept in vulent form as far west as Cracow, where the normal activities are half paralyzed; in most of the villages on the eastern frontiers more than 100,000 prisoners are sick and there is a disturbing trend 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 cologel who was in charge of the work at Tornopol. So there is small prospect that Petlura 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 bolshevkii, there arrived here a Doctor Cczewchłow, who over a year ago was impressed into the bolshevkii 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 bolshevkii Russia and that condition was the last year. He estimates that there 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, Cczewchłow says. 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 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. 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 the most successful "youman" which has yielded 12 quarters (96 bushels) to the acre—three times an ordinary crop.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1920. CONGRATULATIONS. It has been a dozen years since THE APPEAL could congratulate a Republican president upon his victory at the polls. And, now, we not only can congratulate President-elect Warren G. Harding but the whole country, if not the whole world, upon the unprecedented victory the people of this country have achieved by their actions on last Tuesday. Not only did the voters wrest this government from Democratic party rule but they set their seal upon Wilsonism and his League of Nations. If the Republicans now really desire to carry out the principles, that gave their party its birth there can be no good excuse for not doing so with a Republican president and both branches of Congress overwhelmingly Republican. Therefore we extend our hearty congratulations to Harding and Coolidge and the redeemed United States. THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympa- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes co The human race ha test.

But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." JAPANESE TO DEMAND RACIAL EQUALITY. Advices from Washington say that the Japanese government has broadened the issue arising over the proposed exclusion of her nationals from owning land in California, it was learned from official sources today. She will now insist that the United States formally recognize the equality of her citizens with those of any other nation. Such recognition would take the form of an official declaration, similar to the one proposed at the Versailles conference and withdrawn by Japan. On that occasion two great Japanese demands were before the conference. Japan insisted first upon a statement recognizing the equality of her race; second, that Shantung with its vast resources in minerals, its great German developments and its 10,000,000 of people be given to her. The council compromised by giving Shantung. Now she demands that the United States alone give her the far more desirable concession which the council of nations, acting upon a plea from Australia, expressly denied. It is recognized both by Japan and the United States, it was pointed out in official circles today, that nothing whatsoever can be done to prevent the citizens of California from enacting the proposed land expulsion act. Such an act, Japan maintains, is an unjust discrimination aimed at her alone. The final issue will come, it was pointed out today, with the first act under the California law. Formal demand of satisfaction will then be made. The Japanese question ought to be of intense interest to the colored people of the United States who are oppressed by the United States government under the laws as now interpreted by the ruling Democrats, by the Democratic state governments in the murder belt of the South and by a general vicious public opinion. To the colored men who are fighting for absolute racial equality of all American citizens, the action of Japan in demanding racial equality in a foreign land ought to be an inspiration.

December "to bring the message of rejuvenated Judaism to the Jews of America, and for the protection of the Jews' civil rights throughout the land." A prominent Jew explaining the purpose of the campaign, said first, "We desire to prevent the lapse of public opinion or legislation into a state of unfriendliness to the Jew." To this man, who is a "reformed" Jew, the importance of keeping a healthy public opinion toward the Jew was even more important than the revival of religious interest. Judaism is a religion. There are Jews of almost every nationality on earth. While the majority of the Jews are in Russia, Poland, Germany and Austria, they are scattered all over the globe, and New York has a larger Jewish population than any other city. There are Chinese Jews in China, Japanese Jews in Japan, Indian Jews in India and Negro Jews in Africa. The Jews in the United States are not all rich, but they are represented in all lines of business and trade and commerce and in the learned professions, and their aggregate wealth is enormous, but a propaganda of hate is carried on against them by the so-called American Christians, in spite of the fact that the, Christ was a Jew. Now if the Jews with all of their wealth and consequent power find it necessary to fight to "prevent the lapse of public opinion into a state of unfriendlessness to the Jew," how much more important for the colored people, who have already lost many civil rights, which are freely accorded to the Jews, to make a determined effort to regain them. One sad thing about the Jewish question is the readiness with which the Jews join with the oppressors of the colored people. Not all of them, of course, but too many, when one considers the sufferings of the Jewish people through the ages. Some rich Jews, alleging philanthropy, have given millions to aid in the lowering of the social status of the colored people because it pleased Caucasian-American Christians and brought profits to their bulging pockets. COWARDLY BISHOP REBI We reprint from the Cleveland Gazette, edited by Hon. Harry C. Smith, a stalwart and outspoken champion of the colored people, the following rebuke to cowardly colored"bishop: BISHOP PHILLIPS WRONG While there is much in Bishop C. H. Phillips' pacifist interview of last Sunday, in the Cleveland News-Leader, to interest the average reader, there is one statement to which about all of the intelligent members of our race will take issue and that is his statement that "the Afro-American does not desire social, political or industrial equality." That is not true, bishop! In this section of the country we want and, in a limited degree, enjoy all three. In the South, our people are asking the last two. "Social equality" is a myth. It does not exist among any class (race) of Americans. It is a matter for the individual to settle and he alone settles it in all cases. And many white and colored individuals (families) in this section of the country have long settled it to their entire satisfaction and are enjoying the so-called "social equality," and will continue to do so until "the end of the chapter" regardless of the ranting of southerner if not both and the laws of the political equality—the fundamental law of the land guarantees the lat WHO DARES who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be ter if not both and the laws of the states are in most cases explicit when it comes to the former. Not only does this race of ours desire them but it demands them and will never rest until they are conceded in every nook and corner of this country of ours. The Afro-American wants and must have everything good every other class (race) enjoys in this country if he is to keep abreast of the times and be able to cope with them in the great struggle of life. In this section of the country, at least, we can stand up and say so—tell the plain invarnished truth and should do so. That it is not advisable for the good bishop to do so because of his residence in the South and because of the large church interests there he represents, we can understand. However, good bishop, please refrain from giving out such interviews here in the North where they do no good but on the contrary have an effect that retards the progress of those of the race in this section of the country. WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS. Some members of the Episcopal board of missions favor the raising of a fund of $1,000,000 for the purpose of converting the Jews, "because they are losing faith in Judaism and becoming atheistic. This move brought a quick retort from many of the rabbis, three of whom we quote: "Attempts to 'convert' the Jew have never been successful," said Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple, "and the thronged synagogues refute the charge that the American Jew is straying from his faith." Rabbi Stolz said that reports that the Episcopal Church might be induced to appropriate large sums for Christianizing the Jew were too ridiculous to discuss. Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of Temple Sholom declared that Judaism was stronger than it had ever been and that the American Jew was one of its greatest factors. In Europe they have had for hundreds of years, a great way of "converting" the Jews by surrounding the ghettos and murdering men, women and children. In Hungary, recently, hundreds of Jews have professed Christianity to save the lives of themselves and families, but all of the certificates of baptism were overprinted in red, "Not good in case of pogroms (massacres)." The Jews of the United States will not rush to Christianity because they know that American Christians would then segregate them and compel them to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch them just as they have their colored brethren. THE RAPE OF HAITI Evidence is accumulating that the conquest of Haiti by the armed forces of the United States under the Wilson administration was one of the greatest atrocities of modern times. The latest from Washington is that a summary investigation of alleged "practically indiscriminate killing" of Haitian natives by United States marines was ordered more than a year ago by Maj. Gen. Barnett, then commandant of the marine corps, has been made by the publication by Gen. Barnett on operations in Haiti during American occupation. The report shows that United States marines slew more than 3,250 Haitians in five years. The navy department made public October 5 a report prepared by Gen. Lejeune, now commandant of the corps, on the work of the marines in Haiti. It declared that "peace and tranquility" prevailed in the island and that the marines had won the gratitude of all law-abiding natives. It is very, evident that "peace and tranquility" prevail among the 2,250 Haitians murdered by the marines. COLORED COLONIALS. Many Colored Men in the American War for Independence. The employment of colored men became a subject of much importance at an early stage of the American War of Independence. The British naturally regarded slavery as an element of weakness in the condition of the slaves, which they had numerous, and laid their slaves to gain the colored men and induce them to take up arms against their masters by promising them liberty on this condition. 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 confiscation. But while the general emancipation effort was feated, the exigencies of the contest again and again brought up the practical one of employment for colored men, whether bond or free. Only Freemen Wanted in Army. In May, 1775, Hancock and Warren's committee of safety introduced the following formal resolution: "Resolved. That it is the opinion of this committee, as the contest now between Great Britain and the colonies respects the liberties and privileges of the latter, which the colonies are determined to maintain, that the admission of any person as a soldier into the army now raising, but only such as are freemen, will be inconsistent with the principles that are to be supported and reflect dishonor on these colonies, and that no slaves be admitted into this army upon any consideration whatsoever. The war command of the army around Boston on July 2, 1775. The instructions for the recruiting officers from his headquarters at Cambridge prohibited the enlistment of any "ngro." It may also be noticed that they were forbidden to enlist "any person who is not an American born, unless such person has a wife and family and is a settled person in this country." Many Colored Men Enrolled. Notwithstanding all this, the fact remains, according to Bancroft, that "the roll of the army at Cambridge had, from its 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, he entered the provincial army, and he killed like others, were retained in the service after the troops were adopted by the continent." A committee on conference, consisting of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Lynch, met at Cambridge, October 18, 1775, with the deputy governors of Connecticut and Rhode Island and the committee of the council of Massachusetts Bay, to advise Gov. Washington, and advise a method for enforcing the army. On the 23d of October the 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 altogether. In general orders, issued November 12, 1775, Washington says: "Neither negroes born unable to bear arms, nor old men unfit to endure the fatigues of the campaign are to be enlisted." Permitted Their Enlistment. Washington, however, in the last days of the year, under representations who had served in his free colored men who had served in his service, very much disatisfied at being deceived and fearing that they might seek employment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the resolution respecting them and gave license for their being enlisted. Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of Congress he would discontinue the enlisting of colored men, but, on January 15, 1776, Congress determined "that fully in the army at Cambridge may be re-enlisted therein, but no others." The entire aspect of the affairs charged with the South began to be invaded. South Carolina especially, was unable to make any effectual efforts with militia, by reason of the great proportion of citizens necessary to remain at home to prevent insurrections among the colored men and their desertions to the enemy, who were assiduous in their endeavors to excite both revolt and desertion. The result was that in all the Southern states the legislatures passed resolutions to enlist the colored men, and the colored patriots of the Revolution are as much entitled as their white counterparts, and they fought the common enemy, whether they were bondmen or freemen. It has never been possible to give an exact statement as to the number of colored men who served in the Revolution, for the reason that they were generally mixed in regiments and not calculated separately. KILLING HAITIANS A Marine Sport, Writer Asserts. New York—How American marines, largely made up of and officered by Southerners, opened fire with machine guns from airplanes upon defenseless Haitian villages, killing men, women and children in the open market places; how natives were slain for "sport" by a hoodlum element among these same Southerners, and how the ancient corvee system of enforced labor was revived and ruthlessly executed, increasing, through retaliation, the banditry in Haiti and Santo Domingo, was told by Harry A. Franck, the noted traveler and authority on the West Indies. Mr. Franck was in Haiti in January of this year on a tour of the Caribbeanbeans for the Century Machine. The natives were armed largely with obsolete and useless firearms, some even with sythes, according to Mr. Franck, and it is to this fact rather than to the boasted marksmanship of the marines that he attributes the deaths of 3,000 blacks and of only twelve whites. Wilson Is Blamed. Wilson is Blamed. Mr. Franck blames Secretary Daniels and President Wilson for failing to control the situation in the black republic or to take steps to change the prevailing low value placed on the lives of the natives by the forces of occupation. "I do not know these things of my own knowledge," said Mr. Franck. "But I heard of them from many reliable sources, including sources friendly to the Americans, and I am certain in my own mind that they are true. "While some killing was necessary, a good deal of it was uncalled for. One of the factors which I found responsible for conditions was that the marines stationed there were composed very largely of young Southerners, who looked down on the Haitian population, which is nearly 100 per cent black, and held native lives very cheaply. There was also a great predominance of officers from the South. "I found many earnest young Southern officers, who were undoubtedly doing their duty to the best of their ability, but they took a harsh view of their duty and placed too small a value on the lives of black people. Further than that, there was a hoodlum element of young Southerners among the enlisted men who killed the blacks for sport. These were mainly men who did not get into the great war and were anxious to have military feats to their credit." Not "Nigger"—Not "Negro." (From the Washington Bee.) Bishop Wilbur Thirkind, in discussing colored Americans in the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and in his reply to Irvin S. Cobb, says: "The writer means well, but he does not seem to know what the term 'nigger' that has persisted as a relic of slavery and, has in it the sting of liquid fire to every self-respecting Negro, must go." es, and the Bee asserts that not only the word "nigger" must go, but the word "Negro." We are American citizens, the same as you, although our ekn may be dark. The white man manufactured both terms and the Government legalizes them and colored Americans perpetuate them. For God's sake, give both terms a rest. Hates the Term "Negro." "I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred. It is the cause of the segregation of the Negro; it is being used in contempt in public places; it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one tenth of one per cent of the colored people in America can trace their origins to the slave trade, more right to call all colored people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."—Ex-Assistant United States Attorney General Wm. H. Lewis, Boston, Mass. FOR THE MAN WHO TAKES The Florsheim SHOE You can't afford poor shoes today they cost too much.
