PRICES OF FARM LAND INCREASE PRICES OF FARM LAND INCREASE Jump 65 Per Cent in Five Years, According to Estimates of Secretary Meredith. FACTOR IN FARM OWNERSHIP While Reflection of Upward Movement of Commodity Prices, It Indicates Increasing Scarcity of Farm Land. Washington—During the last five years the selling price of farm land and improvements in the United States increased 65 per cent, according to estimates made by the secretary of agriculture in his annual report to the President. Between March, 1919, and March, 1920, the increase was 21.1. Although the data for the 1920 census are not yet available, it seems probable, the secretary said, that while the average price of farm land and improvements per acre increased only 20 per cent during the 40 years from 1850 to 1900 the price in 1920 is two and one-half times that of 1910 and five times that of 20 years ago. "The price of farm lands is one of the important factors in the problem of farm ownership," said the secretary. "It is estimated that between March, 1919, and March, 1920, the increase in the selling price of farm land and improvements was 21.1 per cent. In the last five years the increase has been 65 per cent. Net Return Less. "In some sections the net return on the purchase price of farm lands is considerably less than the ordinary rate of return on first mortgages and similar investments. The rental rate of cash leases, also, is frequently less than half the rate of return on mortgages. Studies made by the department indicate that, in certain regions, the recent advance in the price of land has still further aggravated this condition. Such a situation is unfortunate, if it increases the difficulties of a tenant who is seeking to become an owner. "While the increase in land prices is, to some extent, a reflection of the general upward movement in the level of commodity prices, it must be regarded, in part, as an indication of the increasing scarcity of land available for agricultural use. "War conditions stimulated an expansion of the area devoted to crops, estimated at 10.1 per cent from 1914 to 1918, or an increase of 3.4 per cent in the per capita acreage. This was effected by utilizing pasture land for crop production and by bringing into use other uncultivated areas. The expansion was particularly marked in the years 1918 and 1919, when there has been a reduction in crop acreage. From 1919 to 1920 there was a decline of 0.54 per cent in the acreage of 20 principal crops. Apparently the reduction has been brought about by returning the land to pastures and by discontinuing the use of the low-grade areas which were temporarily utilized. What the War Did. "These changes should be instructive to those who would reduce the prices of farm products by bringing into use large areas of new land. It is clear that if prices had been extraordinarily remunerative to the farmer compared with the returns on capital and labor in industry, we would not witness this reduction of the acreage in cultivation, but, on the contrary, a continued enlargement of it. While the war conditions temporarily increased the net cash income of the farmer and stimulated a temporary expansion of the crop area, this was due in large measure to the response of the farmers to the insistent call for more food, particularly wheat and rye, the principal bread grains. It is of no small significance that the contraction in acreage has been most extreme in the case of these crops, estimated at 31.5 per cent for winter wheat, 16.5 per cent for spring wheat, and 22.6 per cent for rye." SEEKS TO ENTER U. S. ON RAFT Austrian Stowaway Forced, However, to Call Help In New York Harbor. New York.—After bobbing around aimlessly in the harbor on a raft for several hours in the dark, Waste Ernst Bittchen-year-old stowaway from Austria decided to abandon his novel method of cluding Ellis island officials and called defectedly for help. While thawing out by a radiator, he told a tugboat captain, who found him after much searching, he had been informed that the way of stowaways entering America was hard and, consequently, when his ship entered the harbor he threw the raft overboard, jumped on it and hoped to be washed ashore. He was taken to Ellis island for deportation. Children Unshod in Big Sheet Town. Brockton, Mass.—This city produces shoes for world-wide distribution and makes more of some kinds than any other city, but Charles P. Brooks, attendance officer of the school board, reported that many of its children are unshod. There are at least fifty children in the school, they cannot go to school because they cannot be said, and some of them have not been to school in weeks. CAUSES HOG DISEASE Paralysis Traced to Larvae of Blue Bottle Fly. Minnesota Scientists Also Hope to Find Origin of Infantile Paralysis. Minneapolis, Minn.—Minnesota University farm school experts issued a statement that infantile paralysis was traceable to the larvae of the green bottle fly. This theory, which, it is hoped, will make it possible for medical authorities not only to prevent the spread of paralysis epidemic among children, but also to provide a cure, has been studied by a group of farm school experts. The subject has been under consideration at the Minnesota experiment station, in co-operation with certain medical authorities. It became known, as a result of the investigation, that the larvae of the bottle fly was responsible for hog paralysis and limb-mack in poultry. Studies are being made by R. Adam Dutcher and Stanley D. Wilkins of the station, in co-operation with D. C. Beaver and W. A. Billings of the veterinary division of the university, and A. L. Smith of the poultry division. These experts were considerably enlightened as to the causes and method of control of animal paralysis by certain discoveries made in an attempt to trace the causes of limberneck in poultry. In experiments a cockeler was fed on the larvae of green bottle files, which had fed on the head of a hog which had died of paralysis. The result was that limberneck immediately developed in the cockeler. Next the process was reversed. Paralysis of the hind quarters was produced in guinea pigs by feeding them larvae of the same species of chicken which showed limberneck symptoms. The information gained from the experiments have caused the university officials to send out bulletins to Minnesota farmers urging them to protect their live stock and poultry, and possibly human health, by burning or burying deeply all carrion. They cite this as an additional argument for farm and home sanitation. BRAZILIAN GIFTS FOR KING Valuable Gems Are Presented to Belgian Royalty by South American Republic. Rio de Janeiro—Handsome presents were given the king and queen of the Belgians and to Crown Prince Leopold by the President of Brazil, in the name of the government before the royal party's return to Belgium after their visit here. King Albert was offered a valuable and varied collection of tournallines. Presents to the queen included five Brazilian brilliants of various colors in a bicolored crown of Brazilian diamonds. The brilliants were violet rose, gold, turquoise and lettuce in color, the last two being extremely rare. The queen also received a rare collection of Brazilian butterflies. To Prince Leopold was given a collection of large photographs and an artistic and valuable ponlard with ivory and gold handle, made in Parahyba state, as well as various private gifts. Firemen Are Called to Rescue Family Roast Louisville, Ky—I. A. Crawford was resting in his home, 1900 Portland avenue, while members of the family were away. He fell asleep, but awakened. Something was burning. His nostrils told him that. Instantly his feet caught the message and carried him to the fire alarm box on the corner. When the firemen arrived the house was filled with smoke. More was coming from the kitchen, from the oven, where the cause of the trouble was found—a large pork roast. Cold meat was served for dinner at the Crawford home. 100-YEAR WINE IS FOUND Case Unearthied by Excavating in Ruins of Old Building in Florida. Port St Joe, Fla.—A case of choice wine, believed buried over 100 years ago, was excavated by workmen engaged in dismantling the ruins of an old building in Port St Joseph, near here, which was desiccated in 1840, following a vriulent yellow fever epidemic. The wine was buried in what had been the cellar of the house. Has Crossed Another River. Cincinnati, O—William O'Ragan, aged thirty-six; gardener at the Ludlow garden, who several years ago tried to walk across the Ohio or wooden shoes he had made, is dead here. When he tried his river-walking stunt he succeeded in making half the journey. Passing of a Landmark. Paducah, Ky.—Lowly changing its course, the Ohio river is threatening Fort Massac, on the Illinois side, and the fort, second oldest in the state, will be washed away unless an 18-foot retainer wall which is being planned can check the undermining. Defective Page THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY. JANUARY 1, 1921 HAS 9-EGG BREAKFAST "A Square Meal at Last," Says English Adventurer, Makes Three Months' Canoe Trip in Far North of Canada and Alaska. Winnipile, Man—Hugh Kindlesley, twenty-one years old, son of Sir Robert Kindlesley, governor of the Hudson Bay company, has returned from a three months' canoe trip through the Far North of Canada and Alaska. With Capt. Tom O'Kelly, a veteran of the company's service, as his guide and only companion, he set out from Athabasca Landing in a 19-foot canoe. He traveled by Athabasca river, Athabasca lake, Slave river, Great Slave lake and the Mackenzie river to within 90 miles of the Arctic ocean, visiting the old Hudson bay fur posts on his way. At Fort Good Hope he crossed the Arctic circle and was then in the region of the midnight sun and continuous daylight. As he says, he "saw no stars from early in June until August 7." Beyond Fort McPherson and Arctic Red river he ascended Rat river, a narrow torrent of rushing glacier water that drops as much in 60 miles as the Uukon in 2,000," crossed the Rocky Mountains, and, with supplies completely exhausted, reached Fort Kyuon August 13. "A square meal at last," wrote the young Englishman in his diary. "Never before have I eaten nine eggs for breakfast, not to mention ham, bread, jam, cake, coffee and whapling." From Fort Yukon he went up the Yukon past Dawson and White Horse, through the old Klondike gold fields and took steamer at Skagway for Vancouver. The two adventurers camped out constantly and the young scoon of the house of Kindersley became an expert camp cook. "While fighting our way up Rat river," he said, "mosquitoes swarmed about in dense clouds. If I removed my gauntlets, my hands were instantly hidden with the insects. Stumbling through the tundra, I lost my mosquito-bar helmet and soon my face was covered with the blood of crushed mosquitoes. But I enjoyed every minute of it." ONTARIO BUYS UP RAILWAYS Canadian Province to Pay $32,734,000 for Public Utilities in and Around Toronto. Toronto, Ont.-A deal, subject only to ratification by the Ontario government, was completed whereby the province will purchase virtually all of the MacKenzie power interests in and around this city for $32,834,000. Property concerned comprises, in addition to various suburban railways and power plants, the Electric Development company at Niagara Falls, Ont., with its transmission line to Toronto. The deal marks the close of two years' negotiations between Sir William MacKenzie and Sir Adam Beit. It means that, with the exception of the Dominion Power company at Hamilton, all the larger hydro concerns in the province are publicly owned. Breaks Glass to Get Kiss; Finds Girl Wax Philadelphia.—Louis Kratry came down from Coatville, Pa., to see the city sights. He was passing a department store when he saw the beautiful figure of a girl in one of the windows, casting an alluring smile in his direction. He beckoned to her to come out and join him, but she did not move and kept on watching. Louis added to punish her. He laughed the window and grabbed the figure around the waist. He was about to kiss the wax lips with the frozen smile when a policeman grabbed him. FINDS $1,100 ON TRASH PILE Stolen War, Savings Stamps Were Hidden in Old Valise in Guthrie, Okla. Guthrie, Okla.—Six weeks ago W. F. Davis of this city found an old valise under a house he was moving and threw it on a trash pile in the yard. It laid there until he started to haul the trash away and on close examination found $1,100 in War Savings Tumor under a false bottom. Inquiry developed the fact that the valise was once stolen from in front of a local hotel last spring and belonged to David Secko, a traveling man from Enid. The stamps were all registered in his name. Nineteen His Fateful Number. Madisonville, Ky.—"Nineteen" surely played a tragic role in the last days of Roscoe Ashley, buried at Grapevine. He enlisted September 19, 1917, was wounded September 19, 1918, died November 19 of the same year and his body arrived in the United States November 19, 1920. What Little Brother Begged. Madisonville, Ky.—Roy Oakley, aged fifteen, will live, though 71 shot, had to be picked from his body by a surgeon. He and his little brother, Tommy, went rabbit hunting. Tommy shot Roy instead of the bunny. 300 SPIES IN AMERICAN ARMY 300 SPIES IN AMERICAN ARMY Amazing Story of German Espionage During the War Is Disclosed. DESERTER MAKES-CONFESSION Former Officer Tells of Being Sent From Germany With Other Cadets to Enlist in the United States Army. New York—An amazing story of German espionage during the war was disclosed when John Willet, former captain in the Forty-eighth United States infantry, confessed he was really German Willers, a cadet in the German army until 1914, when he was sent to this country with 300 other cadets to join the American army and become United States officers. Willet admitted he had absconded with $6,000 of his company's funds at Camp Sleven on November 28, 1918, a few weeks after the armistice, and deserted. It was this offense and not any suspicion of his spy role which resulted in his arrest here when Hugh J. Hannigan, formerly a first lieutenant in the Forty-eighth, recognized the deserter on the street and halled a policeman. Hints at Treason in Washington. "You would be surprised how many high German officials held jobs in Washington during the war, Willet told Detective O'Leary. The prisoner made this statement after he had narrated how he came here and what he would have done had his regiment been sent to France. "I would have led my men to slaughter, and could have been useful to my own country in many other ways." Willet declared, according to the police, in explaining why he and others were sent to the United States to enlist in the American army. Willet was taken to Fort Jay prison on Governor's island. Confronted by two ex-leutantes of the Forty-eighth infantry, Sidney P. Howell, a lawyer, and Francis Hatch, Willet began to respond to questions. As to his pedigree, he said he was born in Germany and educated there. As to his military background, I was a boy and later when I was a cadet in a German military academy," the detectives ouncr. Willet as saving "When the World war began in 1914 I was selected to join a band of cadets who were to come to the United States with orders to join the American army. Other groups went to the French army and to the British. About 300 others came over here with me. I knew my military training soon would be recognized and that promotion would follow, so I enlisted as a private the first opportunity I got. I had no citizenship papers I did not need any. "Enlisted as Buck Private. "I enlisted in a private in Albany soon after my arrival in this country. Within a very short time my ability as a soldier was recognized and I was promoted. "My heart was nearly broken when I discovered my regiment probably not be sent to France. I would have died for my country gladly. So, 15 days after the armistice, I took the company fund money and left camp. "I'm telling you this freely because I might as well be dead. Life does not matter much to me." Willet told that after he deserted Camp Sevier he started travelling. He toured the Pacific coast. In Chicago about a year ago he married an alien girl named Crawford, it is said. Willet recently opened a mall order business in this city under the name of Crawford. ORE TOTALS 50,000,000 TONS Great Lakes Shipmenta Show Increase of 7,700,000 During, Year, Say Duluth Figures. Duluth, Minn.—The total shipment of iron ore for the season reached approximately 50,000,000 tons, according to figures announced here. Iron ore shipped from the head of the lakes thus far amounts to 47,707,872 tons, with about 30,000 tons remaining to go out from the Duluth and Iron Range railroad docks at Two Harbors and the Chicago & North western railroad docks at Ashland, Wis. Total shipments from all the docks for the season show an increase of approximately 7,700,000 tons over last year, when 40,007,850 tons were shipped. May Be as Handy With the Skillet. Frankfort, Ky.—Mrs. Jackson Morris, wife of Kentucky's adjutant general, is so handy with a gun that when she wants a chicken killed she merely steps to the back door, takes aim with her .22 rifle and the chicken falls with a bullet through its head. She uses a gun brought from Belgium by the adjutant general and presented to his little son. No Chance for Judges. Marietta, O.—"I don't find any one offering me a drink." Mayor Sprague remarked while, acting as a police judge. "Yes, but you are a judge," said the prisoner, "and maybe it's safer to offer me a drink than to offer you one." CASH AND LOVE GONE Once Wealthy Man Brings Action Against Girl Wife. Aged Husband Demands an Account ing' for $50,000 Turned Over to Wife and Relatives. Atlantic City—Pennilless and sixty-five years old, William P. Rifle, once a wealthy resident of Unlontown, Pa., appeared before vice chancellor Leaming here in an action he has brought against his nineteen-year-old wife and her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Mathews, formerly of New York, but for the past year residents of this city. He sues to compel the latter to give an accounting for $50,000 which he turned over to them. Rifle testified that two years ago Mrs. Mathews showed him the picture of her niece, then seventen, when he went to her hotel on South Illinois avenue, in search of health, said that he became enamoured of her to the aid of Mrs. Mathews brought her to the hotel and Mrs. Mathews brought engaged after he had promised to give her $10,000. Shortly afterward they were married. He testified that he gave Mr. and Mrs. Mathews nearly $50,000, with the understanding that the money was to be invested in real estate. After his money was gone, he charged, his wife sold the furniture he had bought for his home despite his protest. She then gave him $16 of the proceeds to go to his home, he added, and even tried, he swore, to take that away from him before he left. The defense sought to show that the money had paid for $40,000 worth of clothes for the young wife, an automobile, diamonds and jewelry, an rifle did not cost six months. Then he charged the Mathews sent him home to Unlontown to raise more funds, but he had been unsuccessful. He declared that he was forced to leave his wife in March of this year. COURT O. K.'S HAIR PULLING Wife Justified in "Remonstrating" With Rihanna in *Guachetta* by Judge Rulie Lynn, Mass.—A hair-pulling match between a wife and another woman who is found with the husband is perfectly in order from the spouse's viewpoint, according to the ruling of Associate Justice Edward B. O'Brien of the District court here. He was called upon to render a decision at the trial of Mrs. Lillian Miner, a divorcee, charged with assault with a revolver upon Mrs. Catherine Curtis, the wife of a Boston policeman. Although it was charged that Mrs. Curtis made the first move in the hostilities, the justice said: "I think the wife is justified in reconstructing, even to the extent of pulling hair, and if such a case came before me for trial I should rule in favor of the aggrieved wife." Love of Music Traps Robber of Poor Box Philadelphia—It was his love for music which led to the arrest of Jacob Katz, twenty-four years old. Katz entered the Emanuel Lutheran church here shortly after midnight and found the poor box which he emptied of its contents, $3. Then he found the new organ. Katz had musical talent and he ran his fingers over the keys. Then he became so absorbed in the instrument that he forgot where he was, pulled out the diaphone and thundered away. The strains awakened the pastor, Rev. Rudolph Nieder, who lives next door, and he called the police. ROBBER OFFERS VICTIM $10 "You Need It Worse Than I," He Says to Holdup on Finding Man Penniless. Steubenville, O.—Daniell Cable, a pottery worker, reported to the police here that a bobber, who had held him up while he was on his way home in a suburb, offered to give him $10 after the highwayman discovered that he was penniless. Cable said that the robber leaped upon, overpowered him, and then went through his pockets. Finding no money, Cable said, the highwayman reached into his own pocket, pulled out a roll of bills and offered to give him $10, saying: "Here, brother, you need it worse than I do." Cable said he was too surprised to accept the money. Laborer Gets $150,000 Anaconda. Mont.-France. laborer's task at the Washoe smelter to the possession of $150,000 was the realization here recently of Claude Sheumaker, who received a telegram from an Eastern broker advising him that he had realized this fortune on the sale of oil stock. Sheumaker immediately drew his earnings, purchased a railroad ticket and started East. Sheumaker conceived the idea of buying oil stock while in the army. While serving overseas with the Twenty-third division he was wounded. His original investment was $300 of back army pay. He intends purchasing a ranch in Oreau. DRIVE ON SPARROWS 700,000 of the Pests Are Killed in Utah. State-Wide Campaign Results in Sav ing of More Than $100,000 for the Farmers. Washington.-Seven hundred thousand English sparrows, each eating six quarts of wheat a year, would mean a feed bill of more than $131,000. Therefore the killing of 700,000 English sparrows means that amount of money saved for the farmers concerned. And nearly 700,000 sparrows were killed in a state-wide campaign in which 783 Utah farmers joined forces to get rid of the pests during the winter months. County agents helped in the campaign, which used 5,243 pounds of pollen ash. In most cases the bait was made of pollen poisoned with strychnine in accordance with sent out by the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture. It was put up in one-quarter-pound paper bags in the county agent's office. Full instructions were printed on the bags for the use of the poison. Each co-operator receiving the bait agreed to report on the results. Usually the sparrows were enticed for a few days by putting unpoisoned bait in places not frequented by other birds and also inaccessible to the poultry of the farm. Then a few grains of polsoned wheat were put out each day. The dead sparrows were gathered up, counted, and either burned or buried few days to prevent the sparrow population from spreading. The number of sparrows counted by each farmer was reported to the committeeen or the county agent at the end of the season. As many as 240 dead sparrows were gathered up as the result of a single package of poisoned wheat. It is believed that where care was used in placing the poisoned bait an average one-sparrow sparrow was used with each one-quarter-pound package of several counties 50,000 to 100,000 sparrows were destroyed. Anchors of Craft Sunk in 1862 Found New York.—There are other things in the sea more interesting than fish to veterans in the perilous north Atlantic trade plied by smacks exclusively in the past and now more successfully by steam trawlers. Capt. Tom Miller of the trawler Petrel brought in from Georges bank two rusty anchors, relics that recalled to shellbacks of his crew the mighty December gate of 1862, in which 19 snacks were lost and 160 fishermen perished. The anchors were fished up on the southeastern edge of the shoal, where the larger part of the wrecks were in the great blow. The veterans say the anchors bore the/handiwork of Gloucester ship blacksmiths of the period just before the Civil war. STOP WORK AS CAT IS BURIED Animal Had Been at Station Ten Years Ago Payroll Eight Years Amarillo, Tex.-All activities in the Fort Worth & Denver City railway offices and shops here stopped for three minutes while the funeral services were held for the office cat. She has been in the railway's passenger station here for ten years and has been on the payrolls of the railroad for eight years. Before the war the official rat catcher of Denver used to receive her monthly pay check of $1.50 regularly. After the war the salary of Pusat boosted to $2.50. The pay war for Pusat. At the hour of the funeral every wheel in the shops stopped for three minutes. The office force gathered about the grave in the station yard while the burial service was read. A marble slab will mark the grave. FARM LABORERS IN A PLOT Scheming for Great Strike as Spanish Crops Are Ready for the Harvest. Madrid—Discovery of a widespread plot among the Andalusian farm laborers to call a strike as soon as crops are ready for harvest is reported. Agitation has been simmering among farm laborers for a year. Last summer employers were forced to pay as much as $5 a day. Retribulation came when winter set in, the farmers saying: "You exploited us in the summer; now we dismiss you." In most instances the men had spent their money. Thousands emigrated to North or South America. Meant or South America. Train Boy Looses His Chance. Dayton, O.—Dioes can turn off the gas.

LIFELIKE. STUDY BY ARTIST Valuable Addition to Portraits of Roman Emperors and is Only One Extant Done During Emperors Life. Rome—Tivoli, that lovely little city perched above Rome, called Tibur by the ancient Rome, has just given to the archaeological world two new art treasures—an augustum, or hall, and a splendid head of Emperor Augustus. Prof. Alessio Valle, one of the archaeologists who have made Tivoli a special study, long believed that Tivoli should reveal an ancient hall of importance, considering the flourishing state of the city in Roman days. He began to dig near a newly discovered weights and measures office, also dating from the Roman empire, thinking that the public weights and measures must surely be near some important hall. He was not mistaken. He has opened up a hall with a Roman parment of white and green marble which looks as if it were put down this morning, so fresh is it, and the statue of Augustus, broken but with the head intact, as the picture shows, with the lifelike lines cut out of the marble by some unknown sculptor of evident genius. Likeness of Augustus. The statue is a likeness of Augustus when he had grown old. An inscription underneath it, which dedicates the statue to the gods, "for the happy return in good health of our Augustus Caesar," proves it was done during the famous emperor's lifetime, a votive offering to the gods by a loyal Tiviliz citizen who signs himself M. Veranus Difflus. The same man gave the public weights and measures to the city. History lets us date this statue between B. C. 31 and A. D. 14, when Emperor Augustus died near Naples, aged seventy-six. Experts say the face is the face of a man of fifty. In the worn lines, the ill-tempered mouth, its upward twist at the left side, we have no flattering picture of the great emperor, but a lifelike study by an artist who dared to cut his statue as he saw the human model. For this reason, and because of its surely being done in Augustus' lifetime, it is a very valuable addition to the collection of portraits of the Roman emperors, and probably the only one of Augustus done during his lifetime. The figure, which originally sat on the pedestal at the head of the hall, is graceful, as Suetouus, that gossipy historian from whom scribes have learned nearly all they know about the Roman emperors, told us, saying: Graceful Person. "He was a very graceful person through all the stages of life, though he was very careless in his dress and would set several barbers to work upon his hair together, and would sometimes clip and sometimes shave his beard, and at the same time would be reading or writing." Augustus, though emperor, called himself a democrat and, says Sutelius, "always abhorred the lord of lass as a scandalous affront." He tells us, too, that the emperor caught cold easily and wore wool under wool in winter, "with a thick wool toga." This broken statue, with the base on which it stood, unearthed after so long bridges the gulf of centuries and brings one of the greatest rulers the world ever saw very near. NAVY NOT QUITE SOBER YET Drunkenness Leads as Cause for Trial of Men in Need, Prohibition, and Law Offices Washington—Drunkenness continued to be the principal cause for trial of enlisted men of the navy for desertion or overstaying leave during the last fiscal year, according to the annual report of Rear Admiral George R. Clark, judge advocate general, to Secretary Daniels. Of 1,725 such cases during the year pleas of drunkenness were entered in 383 cases. Homesickness caused 90 sailors to take "French" leave, and in eight cases the plea was entered that the work on board ship was too hard. More than 41,000 cases were tried by court-martial during the year. Living With Bullet in Heart Omaha, Neb.—James Freeman of this city has a bullet in his heart and is still alive. He told the police he was shot by his wife, from whom he had been separated, when he returned home after he is said to have threatened her. She met him at the door and fired pointblank. He walked to the police station, nearly three miles from where he was given him. He was removed to a hospital and an X-ray taken which showed the bullet nestling in the heart. J. Q.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 1, 1921 HAPPY NEW YEAR. With this issue of THE APPEAL we begin its 37th volume; also the year of Our Lord, 1821. This year promises to be full of very momentous things for us all, both good and bad. This year we will begin a Republic can administration of the government after eight years of Wilsonism and dire disasters during that period too numerous to mention. No one can foretell what the year will bring forth, but it is hoped that the experiences of the past eight years will enable us to improve conditions very materially, so we wish all—A HAPPY NEW YEAR! ENFORCE THE 14TH AND 15TH * AMENDMENTS. It is with very great satisfaction that we notice there seems to be some hope that, at last, the members of Congress have determined to form a plan for representation in that august body upon the basis of the voters permitted to participate in elections in the several states, rather than upon mere population, in Presidential and Congressional elections. Congressman George H. Tinkham, of Massachusetts, has introduced a resolution based upon the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution and showing that the representation from several states is not in keeping with those provisions. Notably in the Southern states, glaring ignoring of these constitutional amendments has been practiced for many years, giving eleven of these states 126 votes in the electoral college and 104 representatives in Congress on a total vote of all presidential candidates of 1,870,809. The state of New York, alone, cast a total vote of 1,706,354 but has only 43 representatives in Congress and 29 votes in the electoral college. On account of this flagrant ignoring of the 14th and 15th Amendments we have had the infliction of Wilson and Wilsonism for the past seven years and ten months, and we most sin- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgmen the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friend I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. cerely hope that the present Congress will make such a condition impossible for the future.

Consumers, who pay the cost of living, do not buy at wholesale. MORE SCHOOLS FOR WASHINGTON Congressman Charles R. Davis of Minnesota is chairman of the subcommittee of the house appropriations committee charged with the preparation of the bill which provides funds for the upkeep of the city of Washington. For the past few weeks Mr. Davis' committee has been holding hearings in the course of which the municipal officials at the national capital have made known their needs for the coming year. There is a very pressing need for more school accommodations in Washington, due to the practical cessation of building during the war and since. One of the features of the District of Columbia appropriation bill this year will be an unusually generous allotment for the schools, a program which has the hearty endorsement of Representative Davis. WOULD "CONVERT" THE JEWS. Sogne 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 ghettoes 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. COLORED COLONIAL8. 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 colonies, in which the slaves were numerous, and laid their plans to gain the colored men and induce them to take up arms against their masters. "HUMAN NATURE My ear is My soul is sick with evil Of wrong and outrage, There is no flesh in man It does not feel for man Of brotherhood is seven That falls asunder at the He finds his fellow guillot Not colored like his own To enforce the like "HUMAN NATURE'S FOULEST BLOT." My soul is sick with every day's report Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filled. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart. It does not feel for man: the natural bond Of brotherhood is severed as the flax That falls asunder at the touch of fire. He finds his fellow guilty of a skin Not colored like his own: and having power To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey. who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be hearts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or s.—Charles Sumner. The situation was looked upon by the public men of the colonies as alarming, and several of them urged the policy of emancipation. But what question of emancipation was defeated, 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 Warre issued a safety introduction the following formal letter solved. That it is the opinion of this committee, as the contest now between Great Britain and the colonies respects the liberties and privileges the colonies are determined to maintain the mission 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 slaves be admitted into this army upon any consideration whatever." Washington took command of the army around Boston on July 3, 1775. The instructions for the recruiting officers from his headquarters at Cambridge prohibited the enlistment of any "negro." It may also be noticed that anyone who forbidden to enlist "any person who is 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 and women of the side of white men. In the beginning of the war they had entered the provincial army, and the colored men, like others, were retained in the service after the troops were adopted by a Committee on conference, consulting 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 Massachusetts Bay, to confer with Gen. William H. Vise a method for renovating 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 officers. It was agreed that they be rejected altogether. In general orders, issued November 12, 1776, Washington says: "Neither negroes, boys unable to bear arms, nor old men unfit to endure the fatties of the campaign are to be enlisted." Permitted Their Enlistment. Washington, however, in the last days of the year, under representation of the free colored men who had served in his army, much dissatisfied at being discarded, and fearing that they might seek employment in the British army, took the resolution respecting the depart from the resolution respecting the British army, 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 17, Congress determined "that fully in the case of any man who be-reinforced therein, but no other." The entire aspect of the affair changed when, in 1779 the South began to be invaded. South Carolina, especially, was unable to make any effectual efforts with militia, by reason necessary to proportion of citizens necessary to protect the men and their 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 resolution that the colored men, and the colored patriots, and the men are as much entitled as their white brethren for the ardor with which they fought the common enemy, whether they were bondmen or freemen. It has never been possible to make a exact statement as to the number of the slave men in the Revolution, for the reason that they were generally mixed in regiments and not calculated separately.

New York—How American marines, largely made up of and offended by Southerners, opened fire with machine guns from airplanes upon defenseless Haitian villages, killing men, women from airplanes in the open market places; how native Southerners, "sport" by a hoodlum element among the same Southerners, and how the ancient corvine 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 subject. Franck was in Haiti in January of 1904 on tour of the Carbbeans for the Century Magazine. 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 death of 2,000 blacks and of only twelve whites. 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 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." "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 native lives very cheaply. There was a predominance of officers from the Soviets. "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 hoodium element of young Southerners among the men who killed the blacks for sport. They were mainly men who did not get into the great war and were anxious to have military feats to their credit."

And the one now closing has not been an exception to the rule. There are very few of us who have not had some sort of remembrance from some friend this Christmas. From some friend this Christmas have been the recipients of tokens of friendship, love or esteem; but none brought more pleasure than the ten-pound turkey, which was sent by Rev. Daniel Harding, of Lake City, him, formerly local preacher of St. Mary's Church, in several years ago, formed the good habit of sending Editor Andras a large turkey for Thanksgiving or Christmas, and he has kept it up ever since. He appears to believe that “tis more blessed to give that receive,” and he puts his belief into the family tender sincere gratitude and thanks and wish for him a Happy New Year and many of them. GILLESLETS. The Bible has a message for every occasion. Each ideal family is presided over by a priest and priestess. Stagnation in the moral, intellectual or physical life, means decay. When you are tempted to criticise others, turn your guns on yourself. Regular family meals and regular family worship would solve many family problems. Good morning, Mr. Blank, how are you?

Hanging, good music and refreshments, the four feature participants in by those less interested in the bout. The bout, the main feature of the evening, was held in the basement and was quite interesting and amusing. It was the Black Hawk's first bout and he made a good showing. His lil' feet, hard as a rock and his blows are landed with force and accuracy. With the proper training he would undoubtedly make a good fighter. The general consensus of opinion was that the Black Hawk out-hooked Bullets and scored a knockout had the bout gone two more rounds. Round One—Bullets showed gameness of his famous body blow and landed it to the body with heavy force and tried to repeat it with an even stronger punch. The turn received a hard blow from a straight left to the law. Rounded. Round Two—Bullets left his corner with vigor, rushing the Black Hawk, who cleverly stepped aside, started his footwork and landed a straight bolt blow with uppercerts to Bullets clinched, took little chance, and sparred until the gong sounded. Black Hawk's round. Round Three—Black Hawk then gained confidence, began his footwork and with crossfire right and left, Bullets clinched, took little chance. Bullets showed gameness, recovered with a pass and a blow over his right shoulder, and they clinched until the gong sounded. Black Hawk's round. Round Four—Black Hawk rushed Bullets jaw, straight blow to the jaw, repeated with a clutch and knocked Bullets down until the referee counted five. Bullets rose with a clutch and the goa gave him. Black Hawk's round. Curley Ulrich was the official referee. H Moore, Black Hawk's manager, H Cooper, Bullet manager, Foy Brown and Kid Young as seconds.
