MINN HISTORICAL SOCIETY MINNEAPOLIS THE TWIN CITY STAR MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY VOL. 7 SINGLE COPIES 5 CTS, NORTH CAROLINA MEDICOS MEET FEATURES OF THE SESSION State Medical Association Celebrates Its Twenty-eighth Anniversary With Pleasing Literary and Social Program—Dr. F. W. Avant Commands Race For Effort to Advance. By GEORGE F. KING. BY GEORGE N. I. HANO Greensboro, N. C.-The twenty-eighth annual session of the North Carolina Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental association, which recently convened in this city, was filled with interesting events which evidenced the fact that the wonderful change of economic affairs, in the south especially, is vitally affecting many of the professions in which Afro-Americans are engaged. The program was intensely interesting, and the scientific side, combined with the many social features, made the sessions among the best ever held by the association. The sessions DR. F. W. AVANT. were held in the main auditorium of the A. and T. college and were attended by doctors from various sections of this and other states. Dr. D. W. Byrd of Norfolk, Va., president of the National Medical association, a gifted orator and one of the leading physicians of the race, made an eloquent and scientific address, which elicited an ovation for him from his large audience. Dr. A. M. Moore of Durham, Dr. F. S. Hargraves of Wilson, Dr. S. B. Jones, Dr. W. L. McNair of Greensboro, Dr. A. M. Curtis of Washington, an authority on surgical clinics, and Dr. James B. Dudley, president of the A. and T. college, were among the prominent factors at this meeting. Dr. F. W. Avant of Wilmington, who was elected president of the association at Wilson, N. C., in 1016, presided. His annual address was a masterpiece. Dr. Avant is president of the Afro-American Food Conservation Commission of his county, which is associated with a similar body of representative white men. He is prominent in the economic and civic movements of his race and also in the fraternal world. In his address he in part said: "One of the most telling and effective changes that we must adjust ourselves to is that brought about by the migration of our people from these parts. The very unnaturalness of the affair is the striking feature about it, because our people are not naturally a migratory people, for we are usually the fixed landmarks of whatever place we might hall from, for not even could the vain pomp and glory of the gold field craze lure many of us to pillow our heads upon her golden breast. We feel that our people, like all other American citizens, should climb the ladder by the way of least resistance. We believe this is a personal question to be settled by each individual. "But those who are satisfied with long hours, small pay, inferior foods and wearing apparel for high prices, poor educational advantages for their children, with unsightly and insatiable streets and homes to dwell in at increased taxation, without very much consideration as to their lives, liberty and happiness, may remain where such conditions obtain, and you will not have to legislate to keep them there. But the individual who loves to reflect and cogitate upon the beautiful thought that he was made in the image of the great Creator and who loves to do things like the best of his fellow citizens, whose home and love ones are as dear to him as his own life, and who loves to step out firmly upon God's free earth and throw out his chest and feel the tender, sensitive vibrations of his intellect telling him that he is a man, must and will find those parts of the world that appeal to him whenever the opportunity is offered. "God has so wonderfully blessed our race, it matters not whether it is in the cotton fields of Georgia, the factories of the north, east or west, or on the battlefields of the sun scorched sands of Mexico or planting the American flag on the snow covered mountains of Alaska, the race will, by proper living, work out its own good if given a fair and equal chance." JULY CRISIS MAGAZINE. Education Number of Great National Monthly Bristles With Merit. The education number of the Crisis for July, with its military cover drawn by Lorenzo Harris, now being circulated, is a remarkable number. First of all, the story of the colored graduates this year is astonishing. Four hundred and fifty-nine colored men and women have received the degree of bachelor of arts this spring, including four Phi Beta Kappa students in the largest northern institutions, one doctor of philosophy and six masters of arts. The leading colored colleges have sent out 222 bachelors of arts, with Howard, Biddle, Fisk and Lincoln in the lead. From the high schools nearly 2,000 colored children have been graduated, of whom the Crisis has record, and probably several hundred others. To this the Crisis adds an important article by his honor John Purroy Mitchel, mayor of New York city, on the relation of colored people to the schools of New York. The Memphis horror is given a separate supplement of four pages, where the story of the barbary is told in the words of Memphis' own white papers. It is a blood curdling tale. One of the best stories ever published by the Crisis is "Gray Eyes," by a young student of the Baltimore Colored high school. There is an article on debating and athletics in colored schools, and prizes are offered for essays on "The Best Summer I Ever Spent." These are to be sent in on or before July 8. The Crisis has reached the 39,000 mark of net paid circulation. This month's number, July, carries pictures of 100 of the colored college graduates. TRAINING FOR SERVICE Major Peal Is Pleased With Outlook at Camp Des Moines. Cleveland, O.—Hon. Harry C, Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, has received the following letter from a former native of this city, Major Allen S. Peal, former commandant and member of the faculty of Western university, Quindaro, Kan., and for several years, to date, principal of our schools at Bluefield, W. Va. Major Peal is at the military training camp at Fort Des Moines, Ia., and under date of June 18 writes as follows: Friend Smith—If I can pass the eye test I will pass the three months' training at this camp. It opens under superb conditions and with a full quota of southern applicants. The best spirit exists here, and the United States officers are of a high type. The race will gain much from this movement. Best wishes. Major Peal lived many years at Columbus, O., holding some important clerical positions in Franklin county offices before going to Quindaro. Elizabeth Fleming's Patriotic Work. Little Miss Elizabeth Fleming of East Sixty-fifth street, New York, conceived the idea of starting a fund to assist in equipping a regiment of colored soldiers for the war from the proceeds received from hand work sold for that purpose. It is said that the returns have already amounted to over $100. By July 15 it is estimated that the above amount will be increased many times. Elizabeth is a young patriot of rare distinction and shows great interest in the colored people. Fifteenth Regiment First on War Basis. Of the thirteen commands which have reached war basis in New York state the Fifteenth regiment of colored men in the national guard of New York was the first to reach the required standard. Thus again the colored man has shown his loyalty to the country. We congratulate Colonel William Hayward and his men upon their ability to get on the mark first. VIRGINIA'S YOUNG BAPTIST LEADER Brief Account of What the Pastor of the Historic Shiloh Baptist Church Has Accomplished During Six Years of Diligent Labor—Congregation Gives Him Hearty Co-operation. Fredericksburg, Va.—One of the most historic church edifices in use by the colored people of this section of the state is the Shiloh Baptist church (on the old site). In this city. For nearly a century there has been a Baptist church on the old site where the present beautiful structure stands. It is a credit to the race and an honor to the city. The old church edifice for the first thirty years of its existence was used by a congregation composed of both white and colored people, the latter being in the majority. In 1854 the congregation, having outgrown the building on Water street, moved into a new building which had been erected on Princess street, and the old building on Water street was turned over to the colored Baptists, with the Rev. Armstead Walker, one of the first ordained ministers of the race in Virginia, as pastor. During the war, when the Union soldiers occupied the town, the church REV. J. C. DIAMOND, B. D. was used as a hospital. The benches were torn out and the property otherwise damaged. The church now has a claim in the omnibus claim bill which is before congress, and there is a chance that it will receive a goodly sum of money from the government in adjustment of its claim. At the close of the war this congregation organized under the name of Shiloh and had for its first pastor the Rev. George Dixon. Nearly all the older members of the church were baptized by the Rev. Mr. Dixon. Out of the twelve men who banded themselves together after the war and organized this church only one is left, Jim Coleman, as he is wont to be called. In 1887 the old building fell, and the congregation split on the question of a site for the new building. The cornerstone of the present building was laid by the white Masons of Fredericksburg, an unusual thing, but it showed the pleasant relations which exist between the races. The present pastor, the Rev. J. C. Diamond, B. D., is a young man. He was born July 22, 1887, and the first seventeen years of his life were spent on the farm. He spent some of the time in the public school, thereby laying the foundation for an education. He entered Hampton institute in 1895 and graduated from the trade school in 1898, and in 1900 he graduated from the academic department at Hampton. The Rev. Mr. Diamond taught physics and electricity at Hampton institute for a time and then accepted a position as professor of manual training in Walden university, Nashville. Team. He also taught manual training at Calhoun, Ala. Giving up the profession of teaching, he engaged in the contracting business at Alexandria, Va. Having a new vision of life's possibilities, Dr. Dia- mond entered the theological department of Howard university, from which he was graduated in 1910. He was installed into the pastorate of the Shiloh Baptist church in January, 1911. Some of the pastor's achievements during his ministry at Shiloh are the renovation of the Sunday school room in March, 1911, at a cost of $1,937, the erection of a new parsonage building in 1912 at a cost of $2,000, designed and built by the pastor; new piano for the Sunday school in 1913, costing $250; purchased 300 hymn books for the pews at a cost of $55.30 and a new communion set in 1914. The membership grows steadily, and the people are generous in their support of the church and pastor. The officers of the church are: Deacons, Elmo Washington, Cato Frazier, George Walker, Austin Johnson, Spencer Lewis and John Harris; trustees, J. T. Lucas, S. G. Willis, Moses Scott and George Walker. Miss E. M. Gray is the organist. KEEP BAPTIST FAMILY UNITED National Body Begins Campaign of Enlightenment. ORIGIN OF ISSUES INVOLVED Leaders of Mammoth Religious Organization Outline Plan to Settle Controversy Over Business Enterprise. To Hold Convention at Muskogee, Okla., In September. As a result of the meeting of the executive committee of the National Baptist convention, held the early part of June in Atlanta, Ga., a vigorous campaign of enlightenment has been launched among the Negro Baptists of the country. A national campaign committee, with Dr. L. K. Williams of Chicago as chairman, is to have one member from each state, a local executive committee, with headquarters in Chicago, and an advisory committee of a hundred or more Baptist laymen, and a general representative of the National Baptist convention for each state has also been designated. The Rev, R. H. Boyd claims that the National Baptist Publishing Board is independent of all conventions and is in the sole charge of himself and nine other men, subject only to the laws of the state of Tennessee, which granted the charter, as it is alleged. He makes the claim of personal and individual creation of the National Baptist Publishing Board, while admitting the authorship of articles describing the launching and growth of the enterprise, in which he says: "To my great surprise and much to my regret, the convention said to me in unmistakable tones, 'Thou art the man.' For twenty-five years I had been attempting to answer every call made by the Baptists, endeavoring to obey every command given by them, and now that it said to me and four others associated with me, 'Go from this convention and publish for the Sunday schools periodicals by Jan. 1, 1917,' my only answer was that the Baptists that have called the National convention had communicated the die cast, and the ruotcon is crossed." The issue has been joined in court. Rev. R. H. Boyd has organized his following to help him maintain his convention. The National Baptist convention desires to maintain the unity of the Negro Baptist family and is seeking to put facts before the people that will cause them to abide in full force by the parent organization founded by the late distinguished William J. Simmons, LL.D., of Kentucky and presided over by Dr. E. C. Morris, Helena, Ark., for the past twenty years or more. Many side issues have been injected into the controversy, but the National Baptist convention will endeavor to focus the attention of its constituency on what it regards as the real issue—namely, whether it or an independent group of nine men shall control the publishing interests of its following of more than 2,500,000 people. A document covering the main issue and all of the known side issues raised has been prepared by Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, and it is the plan of this committee to issue and distribute 100,000 copies of the document. The officials of the National Baptist convention feel that they can rest their cause fully upon their statement of the case. Persons desiring copies of the statement, which is entitled "Stubborn Facts," can secure copies free of charge by inclosing postage for mailing the same to Rev. L. K. Williams, Twenty-seventh and Dearborn streets, Chicago. If there are churches that feel that they need light on this subject or if there are those that think that certain churches need information they are asked to communicate with Dr. Williams. If there are associations or conventions to meet in any state within the next three months where National Baptist convention issues are likely to arise or where the question should be raised for the good of the convention it is requested that the name of the organization, time and place of meeting and the name of the moderator or president be sent to Dr. Williams. NOTED SONGSTERS HEARD. Gloe Club Presents Fine Program at a Brooklyn Concert. Brooklyn.-The annual June concert given by the Gloe club of the Lexington avenue branch of the Young Women's Christian association in this city was held at Memorial hall Thursday, June 21. The public always looks forward with pleasure to any function given by the club and on the above occasion gave the young women fine support. The concert was directed by Mrs. Daisy Tapley, the noted contralto, piano and voice teacher. After the club's own rendition of Nevin's "Venezie" it presented Lisa Lehman's "In a Persian Garden," a song concert for four solo voices. The quartet consisted of Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Mrs. Daisy Tapley, contralto; Roland W. Hayes, tenor, and Henry T. Burleigh, bass. This is a splendid work in itself, built on the "Rubalaty" of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poem. The getting together of these voices in a work of this kind marks an epoch in the development of Negro musical history as heard on the concert stage. Mr. Hayes is the greatest Negro tenor and is possessed of a wonderfully beautiful natural voice, augmented with six years' constant study under one of the greatest teachers in Boston. Mr. Burleigh, as every one knows, is our greatest baritone solist and muscian. Miss Minnie Brown is well known, especially in New York city, as perhaps the best trained singer in our midst. It was an inspiration to all music lovers and students to listen to these four solists who sang together as one voice, an unusual feature for solo singers. OUR HONOR GRADUATES. Names of Those Who Finished Course at Yale and Harvard. The number of young men and women of our race who have graduated from colleges and universities during the commencement season of 1917 is nearly 500. The names of the three young men from Yale are John Francis Williams, Ph. B., New Haven, Conn.; James Austin Norris, LL. B., Pittsburgh, and Aaron Theophilus Peters, B. D. The nine from Harvard are: Lorenzo D. Turner, A. M., Rockville, Ind.; those receiving the bachelor of arts degree are L. V. Aleris, who finished the course in three years; H. P. Payne, Harrisburg, Pa.; U. W. Holly, Roxbury, Mass.; Gbe Wolo of Liberia, West Africa; Butler R. Wilson, Boston; H. W. Porter, Terre Haute, Ind.; E. L. C. Davidson, District of Columbia, and Bertle W. H. Davis, Antigua, British West Indies. NO 23. Founder, General Manager and Secretary of the National Benefit Association at Washington. His Achievements as Organizer and Business Man. Progress in every department and detail of work is noted in the annual report of the National Benefit association, with headquarters in Washington. The organization had its inception in the thrift and industry of Samuel W. Rutherford, who is regarded as one of the most successful business men of our race. The association, which gives employment to more than 100 men and women of the race, was organized eighteen years ago, with a few dollars and only desk room for an office. By wise business management and persistent effort on the part of Mr. Rutherford and his associates, the organization has steadily grown from year to year, until its members number up into the thousands and its resources into the hundreds of thousands. The concern does business in seven states and the District of Columbia. Its achievements have been phenomenal, and its benefits to the race are manifold. Eighteen years ago Mr. Rutherford, general manager and secretary of the association, was working for a secret society on a small salary and commission. He is now receiving from his own business a living salary, is comfortably fixed and is his own boss. He has the confidence of the public and is widely known for his fairness to his patrons and those in his employ. The National Benefit association has put out of commission the traditional theory that colored people will not, when employed by their own race, give as good service as they will when employed by other races under similar circumstances. The report further shows that the total assets of the association amount to $273,217.87. In order to put new energy into the work and increase its resources the concern has adopted a broader policy for carrying into effect additional lines of service and entering into new territory. Every colored man or woman who makes a success in business raises the standard of race pride and race integrity and worth higher, gives inspiration to our youth and increases the respect and good will for our people among the other races. BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH. Brooklyn Congregation Installs the Rev. A. C. Matthews as Pastor. The Berean Baptist church in Brooklyn recently held a series of meetings dedicating the enlargement of its church edifice located on Bergen street, near Rochester avenue. The Rev. A. C. Matthews, B.D., who has been serving the congregation as temporary pastor, was installed as the permanent pastor. The Rev. Mr. Matthews has done a praiseworthy work as leader of the congregation and has thus been made permanent pastor on his merit. The celebration was held for ten days and was participated in by pastors, laymen and professional men of Brooklyn and New York city. The Rev. Mr. Matthews represents the younger men of the ministry and is a zealous worker in civic and religious movements in Greater New York. A bright future is predicted for the Berean Baptist church under his leadership. ADVERTISE IN THE STAR SMOKE "SIGHT DRAFT" THE BEST 5c. CIGAR “ih #3 | i) se -* 7 Ae oem.

VIRGINIA’S YOUNG BAPTIST LEADER Rev. u. 6. Diamar’ Success at Fredericksburg, Va. EDUCATED “AND THRIFTY Brief Account of What the Pastor of the Historic Shiloh Baptist Church Has Accomplished During Six Years of Diligent Labor—Congregation Gives Him Hearty Co-operation. Fredericksburg, Va.—One of the most historic church edifices fn use by the colored people of this section of the state is the Shiloh Baptist chureh (on the old site), in this city. For nearly a century there has beet a Baptist church on the old site where the pres- ent beautiful structure stands. It ts a credit to the race and an honor to the city.

At the close of the war this congre- gation organized under the name of Shiloh and had for its first pastor the Rev. George Dixon.

Out of the twelve men who banded them- selves together after the war and or- ganized this chiirch only one is left, ‘Jim Coleman, as he 1s wont to be call- ed.

Natlonal Body Begins Gam- paign of Enlightenment, ORIGIN OF ISSUES INVOLVED Aaéiders-of Mammoth Religious Organ: ization Outline Plan to Settle Con- troversy Over Business Enterprise. ‘To Hold Convention at Muskogee, Okla., In September, As a result of the meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the National Bup- Uist convention; held the early part of June in Atlanta,~Ga., a vigorous cam- paign of enlightenment has been launch- ed among the Negro Baptists of the country. A national campaign commit- tee, with Dr. L. K. Williams of Chica- go as chairman, is to have one member from each state, a local executive com- mittee, with headquarters in Chicago, and an advisory committee of a hun- dred or more Baptist laymen, and a general representative of the National Baptist convention for each state has also been designated. ‘The object of the campaign is to make the coming session of the National Bap- tist convention to be held in Muskogee, Okla, during the second week of Sep- tember next the largest and most suc- cessful session ever held by that body. Efforts will be made to get before the people the real issues that have arisen between the National Baptist conven- tion and one of its former secretaries, the Rev. R. H. Boyd. It is the claim of the National Baptist convention that it founded the National Baptist Pub- Ushing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., and intrusted it to the manage- ment of the Rev. R. H. Boyd and eight associates, who acknowledged this fact for nineteen years. They base their claim on the wording of the chapter, which reads: “Be it known that we, R. H, Boyd. E, C. Morris, C. H. Clark, J. P. Robin- son, G, M. Moore, E. J. Fisher, J. E. Knox, G, W. D. Gaines and their suc- cessors, chosen under the rules and reg: wlations of the National Baptist con- vention of the United States and hold. ing office under the rules, usages and regulations of said conventign, are hereby constituted a body politic and corporate by the name and style of the National Baptist Publishing Board of sald convention of the Baptist church or denomination.” The Rev. Kt, H. Boyd claims that the National Baptist Publishing Board ts independent of all conventions and {s in the sole charge of himself and nine other men, subject only to the laws of the state of Tennessee, which granted the charter, as it is alleged. He makes the claim of personal and individual creation of the National Baptist Pub- Ushing Board, while admitting the au- thorship of ‘articles describing the launching and growth of the enterprise, in which he says: “To my gréut surprise and much to my regret, the convention said to me in uimistakable tones, ‘Thou art the man.’ For twenty-five years I had been at tempting to answer every call made by the Baptists, endeavoring to obey every command given by them, and now that ft said to me and four others associated with me, ‘Go from this con- vention and publish for the Sunday schools pertodicals by Jan, 1, 1917,’ my only answer was that the Baptists that have called the National convention had commanded the dle cast, and the 1tuol- con is crossed.” ‘The issue has been joined in court. Rev. R. H. Boyd bas organized his fol- Towing to help him maintain his con- vention. The National Baptist conven- tion desires to maintain the unity of the Negro Baptist family and is seeking to put facts before the people that will cause them to abide in full force by the parent organization founded by the late distinguished William J. Simmons, LL. D., of Kentucky and presided over by Dr. E. ©. Morris, Helena, Ark,, for the past twenty years or more. Many side issues have been injected into the controversy, but the National Baptist convention will endeavor to focus the attention of its constituency on what it regards as the real {ssue—namely, whether {t or an independent group of nine men shall control the publishing interests of its following of more than 2,500,000 people. ‘A document covering the main issue and all of the known side issues raised has been prepared by Rev. Sutton E, Griggs, and it a the plan of this com- mittee to issue and distribute 100,000 copies of the document. ‘The officials of the National Baptist cofvention, feel that they can rest their cause ‘fully upon their statement of the case. Per- sons desiring coples of the statement, which is entitled “Stubborn Facts," can secure copies free of charge by in- closing postage for mailing the same to Rev. L. K, Williams, Twenty-seventh and Dearborn streets, Chicago. If there are churches that feel that they need light on this subject or if there are those that think that certain churches need information they are ask- ed to communicate with Dr. Williams. If there are associations or conventions to meet in any state within the next three months where National Baptist conyention tsspes are sikelx.te-ariao, 08 where the question should be raised for the good of the convention it is re- quested that the name of the organiza- tion, time and place of meeting and the name of the moderator or president be sent to Dr, Williams. NOTED SONGSTERS HEARD. Glea Club Presents Fine Program at a Breokiva Concert. Reooklyn,—The annual June concert given by the Glee club of the Lexing- ton avenue branch of the Young Wom. en's Christian association in this city was held at Memorial ball Thursday, June 21. ‘The public always looks for- ward with pleasure to any function given by the club and on the above occasion gave the young women fine support, ‘The concert was directed by Mrs, Daisy Tapley, the noted contral- to, plano and voice teacher. After the club's own rendition of Nevin's “Venezie” it presented Lisa Lebman’s “In a Persian Garden,” a ‘song cycle for four solo voices. ‘The “quartet consisted of Miss Minnie Brown, soprano; Mrs, Daisy Tapley, contralto; Roland W. Hayes, tenor, and Henry T. Burleigh, bass. This ‘is a splendid work in itself, built on the “Rubalyat” of Omar Khayyam, a Persian poem. ‘The getting together of these volces in a work of this kind marks an epoch in the development of Negro mustcal history as heard on the concert stage. Mr, Hayes is the greatest Negro tenor and fs possessed of a wonderfully beau- tiful natural voice, augmented with six years’ constant study under one of the greatest teachers in Boston. Mr, Bur. leigh, as every one knows, Is our great. est baritone soloist and musician. Miss Minnie Brown 4s well known, especial- ly in New York city, as perhaps the best trained singer in our midst. It was an inspiration to all music lovers and students to listen to these four soloists who sang together as one voice, an unusual feature for solo sing. OUR HONOR GRADUATES.

Founder, General Manager and Secretary of the National Ben- ‘efit Association at Washington. His Achievements as Organizer and Business Man. a . Val us ro wl sos eg a ee Progress in every department and de- tail of work is noted in the anwual re- port of the National Benefit associa- tion, with headquarters in Washington, ‘The organization had its inception in the thrift and industry of Samuel W. Rutherford, who is regarded as one of the most successful business men of our race. The association, which gives employment ta more than 100 men and. elrmeyt wep aa 20 ne ge eighteen years ago, with a few dollars and only desk room for an office. By wise business management and persistent effort on the part of Mr. Rutherford and his associates, the or- ganization has steadily grown from year to year, until its members number up into the thousands and its resources Into the hundreds of thousands. The concern does business in seven states: and the District of Columbia, Its achievements have been phenomenal, and its benefits to the race are mani- fold. Eighteen years ago Mr. Rutherford, general manager and secretary of the association, was working for a secret society on a small salary and commis-. sion. He is now receiving from his own business a living salary, is com- fortably fixed and is his own boss. He has the confidence of the pubjic and is widely known for his fairness to his patrons and those in his employ, The National Benefit association has put out of commission the traditional the- ory that colored people will not, when employed by their own race, give as good service as they will when employ- ed by other races under similar cir- cuiisnancoe : The report further shows that the total assets of the association amount to $273,217.87. In order to put new energy into the work and increase its resources tha concern has adopted a broader polley for carrying into effect additional lines of service and entering into new territory. Every colored man or woman who makes a success in busi- ness raises the standard of race pride and race integrity and worth higher, gives inspiration to our youth and in- ereases the respect and good will for our people among the other races, BEREAN BAPTIST CHURCH.

The Rev. A. C.

The fundamental evil of ‘our race is the lack of sufficient: appreciation and interest of the responsibility and duty we owe to each other. We have allowed ourselves to so lapse into a state of inertia and lethargy ‘that’ we are oblivious of the wrongs and in- justices meted out to our people, and not even attempt to raise our voice in protest. Have we lost every sense and quality of manhood? Will we stand erect before the world high of heart and purpose? If we intend to play our part as a people and be pre- pared to do our duty to others, let us decide now what we want to do and mgke ready to do it. It-is the duty of every adult member of the race to align himself or herself with this living existing: organization and become an integral part of it. I am somewhat perplexed to think that any right thinking Negro should be without the pale of an association that stands uncompromisingly for freedom, equality and justice. Dear reader! is it your duty to take out membership? We owe each other a duty for it is the cement which binds the whole, moral edifice together without which all powers and intel- lect, can have no permanence. The membership fee is ONE DOLLAR ‘a year. Will you not lend your mo- ‘ral.and. financial support to this great movement? We are far from being immune to insults and pre- judices here, and we can only do effective work by uniting ourselves and thus be prepared to legally fight these evils. Come out to our meet- ings and know and learn for, yourself what is being done. The question you should put to yourself is) not, what’ would’ people say? but, is it my duty? Remember Whate’er thy race-or speech thou art the same, Before thy eyes duty, a constant flame Shines always steadfast with un- changing light Through dark days and through bright.

The man on the street or the wom- an at the door, who solicits aid on ground of your sympathy for his con. dition, may safely be assumed to be making a better living by that pro- cess. than by accepting such care as the state offers. Minneapolis, just at the present mo- ment, is suffering from an oversupply of beggars. The trade is a good one although somewhat risky. The more plausible the applicant appears, the Greater the retarns. But no genuinely poor person ever begs. It is difficult enough to find them with the aid of neighbors ‘schools, churches and relatives, The beggar is one who has discov. ered that a tale\of suffering is an as. set; and that no honestly poor person acknowledges. The contiiuance of begging is made possible by the continuance o thoughtless; unrelated relief . giving whether by individuals or societies It will’ stop when we get together pooling not only our resources bul also our information. The: waste’ pf money in giving tc the beggars does not compare in ser. iousness to the destroyed social sense produced in the mendicant. It is high: ly contagious and a well nigh incur. able disease. We quarantine: thos: who’ are carriers of small pox, we have not yet learned the method oi preventing the spread. of the begging spirit. — The Bulletin— Associater Charities of Minneapolis.

America must send men—a million men. Indications are that our troops will be on the front sooner than was cal- culated. They are needed to stimu- late the Allied offensive, Food Conditions Better. Food conditiens in France are, if anything, better than they had been reported to be. There is a sufficiency of food supplies, though to say that there fs plenty would be exaggerating. “We have done our duty to our home country, to the world—to de- mocracy,” the French say. “Let America now serve.” The American troops have caught the spirit that comes from a true understanding of the situation.

Our men seem to grasp what they are fighting for, and are resolved to tri- umph. Our casualties will be heavy.

Mexican General, Called to Account, Tells German Consul, Imperial Gov- ernment and Kalser to Go to Hell. El Paso, Tex., July 7.—Since the pro-Ally campaign in Mexico was started by El Universal in Mexico City, the sentiment favoring the Allies has reached Northern Mexico, and dur- ing the past 30 days, a well defined movement favoring an open break with Germany and the alignment of Mexico on the side of the Allies has developed. ‘This has been in spite of the pro-Ger- man sentiments published in Chihua- hua City and in other papers belleved to be subsidized by the Germans in the north. Gonzales Defies the Kaiser. A reflection of this sentiment was seen recently in the statement by Gen- eral Francisco Gonzales, acting com- mander-in-chief of the northwestern military zone, with headquarters at Chihuahua. He was overcharged by the German firm of Ketelsen & Dege- tau for sdme padlocks. The manager was arrested and placed in the peni- tentiary. The German consul made a demand for his release “in the mame of the Imperial German government and the Kaiser,” according to a Mexi- can official who was present at the time. “Tell the German consul he, the Im- perial government and the Kaiser may all go to hell,” General Gonzales an- swered. é War in 30 Days Predicted. Prominent Mexicans, men in close touch with the capital, predict Mexico will declare war on Germany within 30 days. According to these men all German money in the Mexico City, Torreon, Chihuahua City and other banks will be selzed as soon as the war is declared, thereby giving Mexico a much needed merchant fleet and all Germans will elther be intermed or de- ported at once, their properties being confiscated.

Washington, July 6.—Inmates of the prisons and reformatories of the coun- try want to do their bit for the coun- try during the war. Representatives of 23 states, called into conference here by the American Prison asso- ciation, have brought the word to the government amd have offered co-oper- ation in any way possible. As far as practicable, use will be made of ap- proximately 70,000 inmates of penal and reformatory institutions and sev- eral hundred thousand acres in dif- ferent institutional farms, BELGIANS VISIT TWIN CITIES DELEGATION FROM WAR-RACKED NATION WARMLY GREETED © Baron Moncheur Thanks Cities for Ald and Pays Tribute to Father Hennepin. Minneapolis, July 6,—Minneapolis entertained the Belgian war commis- sion in a demonstration at Lake Har. riet that brought greetings from fully 7,500 persons. The visitors brought a message of thanks—for Minneapolis flour succor ed the Belgians in their darkest hour of need and expressions of confidence that the entry of the United States in the war will mean ultimate vic. tory for the Allies and for civilization.

Washington, July 6. — A definite change in Norway’s war policy like- ly will take place not later than the end of this month when Dr. Fritdjof Nansen, noted scientist and arctic ex- plorer, arrives in this country on a special mission, While Dr. Nansen’s visit ostensibly will have to do with regulations of shipping to neutral countries, it 1s generally understood that the question of a change in Nor way’s neutrality will be discussed, and his visit to this country presages a firmer answer to the Kaiser’s explan- ations of the continued sinking of Nor- wegian vessels. Diplomatic relations between tho two countries are rapidly nearing the breaking point. RUSSIAN MINES TO BE OFFERED TO AMERICA Special Commission Decides Transfer Is Necessary in Order to Obtain Better Results. Petrograd, July 6.—A special mining commission of the ministry of trade has decided to recommend the transfer to American hands of a great part of the empire's mines and other mineral deposits in order to obtain better re sults. M, Mallavkin, director of the mining department, has' propounded a plan to the American commission to offer American capital ts the investigation of Sakhalien, off the eastern coast of Siberia, for working petroleum and coal deposits, and also to offer for the same purpose several districts of St beria, To Bring Slain Americans Home.

Washington, July 7.—More complete and efficient co-operation of United States Secret Service agents with those of her European allies is recog- ‘nized as the great problem that must ‘be met in stamping out the spy evil. While it is stated that operatives of the State, War, Navy and Justice de- Partments are cooperating with good Tesults in running down active alien enemies, it is strongly indicated that much remained to be accomplished in relationships with the services of foreign countries.

Great precautions are necessary to Prevent enemy agents from becoming cognizant of the nature of the work or the methods of communicating. Developments in Case. The spy hunt has brought these developments: 1—German agents, through German marine insurance companies here, knew details of the sailing of Persh- ing’s troops. 2—A censorship which will prevent the dispatching of a cable message or the sending of a letter during troop movement is contemplated by the government to protect American forces on the seas, 3—Seeretaries Lansing, Baker and Daniels and George Creel held a long conference on details of this censor- ship. It will cover both out-going and incoming messages and authority may be asked of Congress to make it effective. . Congress to Act. 4—Congress on its own initiative is preparing to act to end the spy menace. . 5—How information obtained by spies here can be transmitted by way of Mexico was definitely known. 6—A great central intelligence bureau in which every secret agency of the government will report, is be- ing worked out. It will be the main headquarters of all American secret services and will not be surpassed by even the German bureau at Berlin. ‘7—Legislation was discussed to give the President power to isolate the United States by forbidding any per- son to leave the country or send mes- sages during troop movements.

CHICAGO FEDERAL GRAND JURY MAKES DIRECT CHARGE. Report, Following Investigation Last- Ing Several Weeks, Declares Some Dealers Are Exploiting. Chicago, July 6.—Exploitation of war conditions to raise food prices to consumers, “for the benefit of.the few ‘who are handling food products,” has been reported by the federal grand jury after an investigation of several weeks, The Elgin board of trade, where are fixed butter prices taken as standard throughout the country, received espe- cial attention from the grand jury, which pointed out that the board holds only one 15-minute session each week. The report urged legislation to pro- hibit cold storage companies from lend- ing large amounts on perishable food products in warehouses, which the grand jury said leads to speculation and higher prices. Reports under oath to the government on the amounts of food in cold storage was recommended. Among documents obtained by the grand Jury were two circnlars sent by two wholesale food dealers to jobbers and salesmen. One of these sald: “Raise your prices now on every- thing we have advised you will ad- vance. You can get the extra price this week as well as next.” Another circular said: “Our customers have very unusual profits within their grasp at this mo- ment. Will they throw them away or tuck them away?” < RIOTS IN AMSTERDAM REVIEWED ONCE MORE Warehouses Stormed by Women Who Carry Off Entire Carcasses Which They Distribute. Amsterdam, July 6.—Further rioting occurred mear Handelskade. A crowd of women stormed a cold storage ware- house and carried off carcasses of pigs which they distributed. Butcher shops also were plunderéd. Soldiers and police charged the crowds and clear- ed the streets. The Dusseldort General Anzeiger says that 220 persons, onethird of whom were foreigners, were arrested fn connection with the potato riots. Among these were 24 youths and 87 women, 17 of the latter being foreig- ners. Four youths were killed and mine- teen persons injured when police and troops fired on a mob which was pil- laging ships. The clash followed a parade of a large number of work- men through the streets contrary to police orders.

Several groups of shop girls on their way to work slipped through the police lines and kissed the soldiers, to their great embarrassment. Now and then an American voice would be heard calling out, “Hello, boys,” “Welcome to Parts,” or “Good luck.” Japan's Fleet to Aid Allies. Tokio, July 6.—It necessary, Japan may send a fleet to the Atlantic, said Tomasaburo Kato, minister of navy, in the diet here. The minister was replying to criticism of the opposition that the dispatch of Japanese war- ships to the Mediterraneon was not required by the terms of the Anglo- Japanese alliance and was merely for the benefit of the Allies, and not for Japan. M. Kato declared the govern- ment was justified in co-operating with the Allles to bring about the de- feat of Germany.

Dogs of War in Real Life Trained animals of the French army discover the wounded and even capture German dogs as prisoners :: Many of them have been given great military honors HIS strange war has fortified and enriched immeasurably the beautiful pact of friendship concluded ages ago between man and the dog and has conferred upon the venerable and sinister phrase "let loose the dogs of the army and softened HIS strange war has fortified and enriched immeasurably the beautiful pact of friendship concluded ages ago between man and the dog and has conferred upon the venerable and sinister phrase "let loose the dogs of war" a new and softened The dogs of the French army are a force to be reckoned with. They are a really necessary cog in the big army machine. They have distinguished themselves in Argonne, on the Somme, on the Yser, in the Vosges. They have contributed appreciably to divers local successes. They have saved the lives of thousands of soldiers by their intelligence and devotion, by their courage and address. They have given their limbs, they have given their_health, they have given their lives. They have been cited on the rosters of their companies, their battalions, their regiments. They have been decorated. Their virtues have been celebrated by the cinema, by the newspapers and illustrated magazines and by the novel. Festivals have been held for the benefit of their hospitals and convalescent homes. Their delegates were enthusiastically cheered at the Palace of the Trocadero by an audience of over 6,000 persons (including many wounded soldiers from the military hospitals) on the occasion of the last annual meeting of the S. P. A.(Soclete Protectrice des Anlaux, corresponding to our S. P. C. A.). And a committee has been formed (at the instigation of their two-footed comrades-in-arms) for the erection of a monument in their honor. Saviors of the Wounded. At the moment of the mobilization, 150 dogs, specially trained to rescue the wounded, were put at the disposition of the sanitary department of the Army of the Societe Nationale du Chien Sanitaire. After a short stay at Longchamp, they were sent to the front, where they conducted themselves, on the whole, exceedingly well. "Ple" was brought down by a German bullet in Argonne. "Toby," alias "Crapoillot," died from a shell wound received at Vlc-sur-Toube. "Kaiser," "Kronprinz" and "Francois-Joseph"—names given in derision, because of fancied resemblance to the sovereigns of the adversaries—served zealously and fell upon the field of honor. In 1915, mainly on the initiative of the S. P. A. and the Anti-Vivisection league, some three hundred more thoroughly trained dogs were turned over to the sanitary department, and now not hundreds but thousands are succoring the wounded between Neuport and Alsace. "Prince," a superb Alsatian wolf, the first dog to have his coat dyed in, the interests of invisibility, and still in the service, saved five wounded men in a single day at Vauquols. "Pax," blind and paralyzed and "invalided" in due form because of these infirmities contracted in the service, has the rescue of more than two hundred wounded to his credit. On the other hand, "Cadet," efficient singly, but too ill-tempered for team work, has developed a specialty altogether his own, that of "gathering in" the dogs of the enemy. When "Cadet" spies a Boche dog, he pounces upon him, masters him, grips him by the ear and brings him to the trench as prisoner. The "anitary dog" scours the battlefield in quest of the wounded. When he discovers a suffering soldier he falls back on the brancardier to whom he is attached and makes plain by his attitude that his services are needed. At the outset he was taught to fetch to the brancardier a kepl or a handkerchief. But the handkerchief of the soldier is very apt to be in a tightly-buttoned pocket and he may have lost his kepl. Furthermore the kepl has been replaced largely by the heavy helmet, and it is next to impossible for a dog to remove the latter, when it is held on by a chin-strap, as it almost always is. So it has become customary to have the dog fetch any object whatever (pipe, handkerchief, helmet, brquet, tobacco pouch, cartridge box, bit of uniform), save a bandage, which he is taught to scrupulously respect. Surprising Canine Versatility. The "sanitary dogs," having been first in the field, thanks to the antebellum preparedness efforts of the So- SCRAPS A flower which grows in China is white at night but red in the sunlight. London weddings during 1915 numbered 58,354, compared with 43,378 in 1914 and 41,409 in 1913. 03/08 clete Nationale du Chien Sanitaire, and having long been the most numerous, have naturally attracted the most attention; but all the four-footed polls are not rescuers of the wounded. Latterly, a goodly number have been trained for functions which bring them into closer relations with the actual combatants than with the disabled, and a special canine military service has been organized by ministerial decree. Dogs now serve as sentinels, as scouts, as dispatch bearers, and as revictualers. They are taught to wait patiently in solitary spots; to pay no attention to the most deafening detonations; to wear a gas-mask; to growl (without barking) at the slightest suspicious approach; to move back and forth between widely separated points without being tempted by irrelevant appeals en route or being disconcerted by the obliteration of landmarks due to the tramping or churning of the earth. "I use only French dogs," says a dog-training specialist, "for a very simple reason* that renders all other reasons superflous, namely, that they are the best shepherd dogs of La Beauce and of the Pyrenees, enterprising and hardy, excellent pupils on condition that you specialize them, that you demand of them only what they have to give, that you do not exact from them, as from the modern-style ladies' mald, housekeeping, piano-playing, sewing, ironing, and the giving of English lessons. The efficiency of the war dog depends upon two things, obedience and scent. Do not expect from the best dog miracles of well-nigh human intuition. If you do, you will be deceived. Refuse to believe that a war dog will learn to send telephone messages by growling before a telephone (as has been reported and even printed), or that he will run to ring the alarm bell at the approach of asphyxiating gas." Four-Footed Sentinela "Fidle," a big yellow mastiff, who mounted guard regularly before the porthole of a trench on the Yser, was shot in the head. He was evacuated to a dog hospital. The surgeons succeeded in extracting the bullet (which his master now wears as a charm on his watch-chain), and, after a proper period of convalescence, he joyously resumed his service at the front. "Lion," sentinel with the -th regiment of Colonial infantry, signalled the proximity of a strong German patrol whose mission it was to capture a post some two hundred yards in advance of the French lines. His alarm permitted the opening of a deadly infantry and artillery fire which repulsed and declimated the patrol. Several prisoners were taken, who declared that they would certainly have succeeded in their enterprise had it not been for the warning given by the dog. The Official Bulletin of July 19, 1916, contained this sentence: "An attack directed by the enemy upon our outposts in the region of Raschendela (Belglum) was checked by our fire." The failure of this raid was due to a dog named "Fox." He was placed upon the roll of honor of his regiment with this mention: "Fox, Serie F4, matricule 221 of the Kennel A, folled an attempt of the Germans to raid our first-line trenches. Profiting by a dark night and a gale of wind, the enemy had succeeded in approaching our barbed-wire barriers without being seen or heard by the sentinels. The dog Fox of the Nineteenth company of the —th regiment of infantry, who was mounting guard at the extremity of the trench, alarmed the post twice and permitted us to receive the enemy with a shower of grenades. Thanks to Fox's alarm, the The religions in Russia are almost as diversified as the races. In European Russia the Greek church rules.

"Louistic" had no sooner familiarized himself with the trenches of the —th infantry than he made a discovery of the first importance. While on watch duty with his master he suddenly obliqued to the right and gave unmistakable signs of perturbation. "There's something over yonder," said the master to his comrades. "Nonsense! Your pup's dreaming." "But I tell you that if none of our men are over there at the right, there are Boches there!" The dog is led in the opposite direction to test him. He runs back to his point of observation and continues to manifest the same disquieting symptoms. "It may be that he smells a Boche outpost," observed his master. The men, impressed at last, communicate the observation to the officer in command. "X—— says that his dog 'Louistic' has discovered a Boche outpost." "The one we are after?" "Yes." "That would be extraordinary indeed." The captain is skeptical; nevertheless he orders several rockets to be set off. And there, sure enough, in the direction the dog so obstinately indicated, pop up the heads of three superb Boches, who fancied themselves secure against discovery. "That passes me," murmured the captain. "In 20 minutes this cur has discovered a post we have been hunting two months for." Four-Footed Scouts. In a northern sector, between the French and German trenches, fully 200 yards from the former and not more than 20 yards from the latter, was a farmhouse which was suspected of concealing machine guns and an observation post, despite the fact that no signs of life were visible. The pollus in one of the French trenches lay their heads together: "It's absolutely necessary to know what there is in that house." "You're right. But it's no easy matter. We shall surely be shot if we go near it." "But if it is empty?" "That would be a lark. We'll find out. We'll take 'Papillon' along with us." And one dark night four men, accompanied by Papillon, set forth. They advanced by bounds, with infinite precaution, making ten-minute halts between the bounds and unrolling a telephone wire as they progressed. When they were close to the house, they halted for three-quarters of an hour, in order to give Papillon time to familiarize himself with the premises and to reconnoiter them thoroughly. He displayed no signs of agitation save when he was turned toward the trenches of the enemy. The house was certainly empty. The party entered and made a thorough inspection. They returned under Papillon's guidance several times, making daylight observations which rendered possible a successful attack. And Papillon was cited on the roll of honor of the battalion. In the spy-infected Vosges the scouting dogs have been particularly useful in detecting the civilian traitors who are in the habit of observing the movements of the troops from behind the forest trees. The scout "Nestor," besides rendering numerous services of this sort in the region, also distinguished himself particularly at Bandkopf by falling back upon a patrol. In advance of which he was reconnoitering and announcing in unmistakable language a totally unsuspected menace of the enemy—Boston Transcript.

"The strikers commenced to hold an open-air meeting as the airman was circling overhead, and he promptly nose-dived straight at the crowd, skimming over them at the height of only a few feet. As he descended the meeting broke up in ignominious flight, and each time the meeting resumed the airman repeated his performance, until the strikers abandoned the meeting in disgust.

Washington.—Sailors of the American navy, many of them young men who only a year ago were on the farm, at the bench, at the counter, or in school, today are in Uncle Sam's destroyers sailing the waters of the northern seas, where they are engaged in the heroic duty of upholding the world principle of freedom for all peoples. The American people always have shown a kindly disposition toward the man-of-war and the man-o'warsman. There has been an appeal about the sea which has drawn and held the interest of landsmen who never smell salt water. Americans always have taken a pride in their navy. Today Uncle Sam needs men for his navy and he wishes to get them from the ranks of those who are charged with the volunteer spirit of service. Our great fleet is mobilized "somewhere on the coast" for possible deadly service with the great fleet of the enemy. Today, for the navy has allowed the fact to become known, many of our smaller craft, the bulldog destroyers of the navy, are hunting the submarine sharks in the waters off Daunt's Rock, close to the coast of Ireland and farther north, where even in summer the elements at times are almost as fierce as "man, the enemy." Pay Is Doubled. Recently the congress of the United States increased the pay of the sailor men so materially that the recruits's pay is double what it was. In the navy the young men of the country, both in times of peace and in times of war, secure liberal educations. Their opportunities for travel and for sight-seeing are greater than those of men employed in almost any other calling in life. Moreover, the boys just entering manhood who enlist in the navy are given opportunities for instruction which, if they have the ambition and the mental qualifications, will enable them to enter the naval academy at Annapolis on the same terms as midshipmen who are nominated by members of congress, and at that institution to secure an education which fits them for the commissioned rank which the government of the United States will confer upon them. There are traditions in the American navy which keep high the spirit of endeavor in every man who walks the deck under the colors, from the admiral to the apprentice seaman. The boy learns all about John Paul Jones, and his deeds on the sea for his country; all about Decatur, Bainbridge, Hull, Porter, Farragut and Dewey. As the secretary of the navy has said, in what is really an appeal to the youth of the country to enlist under the navy's colors, the standard is high. Service of High Ideals. "The navy has been throughout its entire existence a service of high ideals; and its unbroken record of great and worthy achievement, of duty well done, has been due to the high standard set for officers and men in the beginning and which has been maintained ever since. This standard was never higher than it is today; and any young American who thinks of going into the navy may feel sure that, on enlisting, he will enter a service in which he may, and should, always feel a justifiable pride and of which the uniform is a badge of honor." Young men between the ages of seventeen and twenty-five, who are not skilled in any naval trade, are enlisted as apprentice seamen. Immediately upon being sworn in at the recruiting stations they are sent at government expense to a naval training station. The apprentice seaman, because he is a green man and simply undergoing training has been paid in the past $17.60 a month. From this time on, however, under the recent act of congress his pay throughout the war and until six months after its ending is to be $32.60 a month. Now it must be remembered that the sailor, whether he be a recruit or a seasoned man o'-warsman, is under no expense at all for his livelihood after he once joins the navy. He is given clothing, food, shelter and medical attendance. Out of his pay all that he 1 spend is such money as he desires to pay out for such luxuries and entertainments as he seems inclined to indulge in. Increase Soon Comes. It must not be supposed that an apprentice seaman continues long to draw simply the amount of his first pay. His first raise comes in the seaman branch, and if he is in the fireroom he gets an additional sum. The navy needs men who are trained or partly trained in the various trades. Men who are proficient along certain lines and who come within certain limits of ages are enlisted for specific purposes in the navy. They are given pay in accordance with standards set for the different lines of endevor which they must follow. Full information concerning enlistments of this kind can be had at any recruiting office. The navy today is a world in MARINES ARE ALWAYS FIRST IN FIGHT itself. It needs men proficient in nearly all lines of human working endeavor. The law increasing the pay of the men in the navy has just been enacted and the pay tables under the new dispensation have not yet been made out, but it is a simple thing to determine the rate of pay of each seaman of whatever class by adding to the pay given in the accompanying table the amount of increase in each case. The increased pay allotment has just gone into effect. Below is given the navy wage table, with the pay as it stood prior to the recent act of congress. In order to know what each man's pay now is, it is only necessary to know that every man now drawing less than $21 a month will receive an increase of $15 a month; that every man drawing at present from $22 to $24 a month, inclusive, will receive $12 a month additional; that every man drawing more than $24 and less than $45, will receive $8 a month additional, and that every man drawing at present $45 or more a month will receive $6 a month additional pay. It should be borne in mind that the apprentice seaman, the ordinary boy recruit, who ordinarily gets $17.60 a month, will be receiving at the time that this is read $15 additional, making his pay $32.60. Here is the pay table as it stands today regardless of the increases which congress has ordained: Chief Petty Officers. Pay. Chief f masters at arms. $71.50 Chief boatswains' mates. 55.00 Chief gunners' mates. 55.00 Chief turret captains. 66.00 Chief quartermasters. 85.00 Chief masters' mates. 77.00 Chief electricians. 66.00 Chief carpenters' mates. 56.00 Chief water tenders. 55.00 Chief printers. 46.00 Chief storekeepers. 55.00 Chief yeomen. 66.00 Chief pharmacists' mates. 68.00 Bandmasters. 57.20 All chief petty officers with a permanent appointment receive $77 a month and allowances. Petty Officers. First Class. They Go Everywhere by Land or Sea in Defense of the American Flag. MOTTO: "ALWAYS FAITHFUL" The Recruit Entering Service Today Is Paid $30 a Month and the Opportunities for Advancement Are Numerous. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK Washington.—"First in the Fight" is the war-time slogan of the United States marines, while "Semper Flidellis," "Always Faithful," is their motto in peace and war. So it would seem that if good works, coupled with faith, secure a man's salvation, there must be some reason as well as rhyme in the last four lines of the Marine corps hymn: If the Army and the Navy Overlook on Horseshoe coast They will find the streets are guarded by The United States Marines. Recently Uncle Sam has ordered an increase in the number of his marines to a war strength of 30,000 men, which numerically means 4,000 more men than there are in a division of troops of the United States army. There is room in the marines, therefore, for any stalwart young American between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five who wishes to be a soldier and a sailor in one, to be first in the fight, and to be able to prove that he is always faithful to the ideals of humanity and the ideals of his country. In the present war the American belief is that the two are one. When congress recently increased the pay of the army it also increased the pay of the navy and of the Marine corps. The recruit who enters the Marine corps will receive $30 a month pay, an increase of $15 over the pay in the more or less piping times of peace. More than this, if he goes to sea, which unquestionably will be his lot, he will receive 20 per cent additional, and it is generally accounted that in this war time the 20 per cent increase will be continued while the marine is on land in a foreign country holding up his end for the United States. What is the marine? This is one of the questions in a little catechism issued by the officials of the corps. The answer is that the marine is a soldier of the sea. The marine is a soldier and a sailor, and yet he is neither. He is a sort of a two-fisted fighting rover. He goes everywhere by land or by sea to the last outpost of civilization and beyond Petty Officera. Third Class.

All stewards and cooks of the messman branch, who are American citizens, and hold certificates of qualification, receive $5.50 a month in addition to the above rates of pay. Navy Needs Men. The United States today is at war. The government officials are looking to the young men of the country to come to the help of that democracy which means liberty. There are rear admirals and captains in the United States navy today who rose to their high rank of command from the position of naval apprentice. Rear Admiral William H. H. Southerland once was a naval apprentice. Capt. John Emil Roller was a naval apprentice. "There is always room at the top" is a saying that is credited originally to the sea service. Uncle Sam needs recruits to help sustain the honor of his flag. The sea and its service have a holding charm for men of red blood. If it is necessary for the service of protection of the American flag and of the upholding of the rights of American people. The Marine corps is curious in a way in its formation. It has more men in its ranks than an army division, and yet in a way its organization is that of a regiment, although it has a major general commandant and several brigadier generals. Then, like the army, it has its colonels, its lieutenant colonels, its majors, and its captains. The Marine corps, big as it is, with its 30,000 men in war time, keeps a peculiar organization, because its fighters necessarily are divided into comparatively small detachments. Under the command of Colonel Doyen of the Marine corps 2,000 soldiers of the sea soon will be in the trenches in France. These men, it has been announced, were added to the preliminary force which it is intended to send into France because the government recognized the right of marines to live up to the meaning of their wartime slogan, "First in the Fight." Men Needed for Marines. The United States government wants men for its Marine corps. It hopes that it will not be necessary to draw from the ranks of the selective service army the men needed to complete the complement of the soldier-sailor organization. It wants volunteers. The attractions of service in the marines are many. There are chances, and good ones, for the enlisted men to be recommended for a student course at Annapolis, there to be educated and trained and upon graduation to receive a commission either in the Marine corps or in the navy. The law also provides for the promotion of noncommissioned officers to warrant rank in the grades of marine gunners and quartermaster's clerk. Such officers receive from $1,125 to $2,500 a year, and are entitled to the same privileges of retirement as warrant officers in the navy. There is a chance for marines to make money in addition to their pay. Mess stewards, mess sergeants, mess men, clerks, and men assigned to aviation duty receive amounts varying from $7.50 to $15 per month in addition to their base pay. There are provisions for increased pay for men who qualify as expert riflemen, as marksmen and as sharpshooters. The Marine corps is the oldest army service of the United States, having been organized before the army and the navy. Every man who enters it is given his food, his clothing, his lodging, and his medical attendance. The country needs volunteer marines for a service that is First at the Front and Always Faithful, --- eee —S—SC“‘eSdtttiSC SOCIAL NEWS EDITOR, ‘Miss Clara Lucas, $06 Boston Block, Minneapolis. ‘Minneapolis, : : "iain NIC. 1873. ‘Wanted—Subscribers to Pay.

F. H. Roberts one day told them ‘about service with the destroyers. “No special attempt,” he told the volunteers, “ls made in selecting the men to serve in torpedo craft, wheth; er they are fat men or lean men, short men or tall men. The character and spirit are developed by association af- ter their arrival. As a rule, they are older than the men on the battleships, “You all know that one of the char- acteristics ‘of a destroyer is ability to |-make high speed. To this end it has always been the policy of the naval constructors to keep fittings of the vessel strong but of light weight. No chances were ever lost by the naval constructors in lightening the destroy: ers by removal of any fittings that they considered unnecessary.” ‘To illustrate: A flotilla of destroy- ers was dispatched from the Atlantic coast to the Philippines via San Juan, the Azores, the Mediterranean, the Suez canal, Indian ocean and the West Indies, It so happened that on one of these destroyers the commanding officer was @ man welghing 230 pounds. His two assistants, both then ensigns, each weighed well over 200 pounds. Out of a half-dozen chief petty officers three of them were heavyweights, and in the rest of the crew were two others of the same avoirdupois. Upon arrival in the Philippines the weather was hot and sultry, the sun keeping the decks of the vessel warm, adding another torment. ‘The vessel's original allowance lst had included one electric fan, so the commanding officer submitted a requl- sition requesting that a fan be fur nished for the wardroom, and one in each compartment in which the crew were quartered, a total of five fans, The request in due time reached Washington, and some three months later was returned disapproved as the bureau did not wish to add any un- necessary weight to the vessel for fear of reducing its speed. Nothing daunted, the commanding officer returned the requisition with a statement thereon of the welghts of himself, his two commissioned assist- ants®and other members of the crew and requested that one of these heavy- weights be transferred and that a man welghing about 150 pounds be sent in his place, ‘The fans were forthcoming and no body was transferred. Since that time electric fans, are among the few com- forts found on destroyers. Effects of Fear. The coward on the field of battle dies many times whether death comes to him or not. Not only on the field of battle do men suffer fearsome deaths but in yarlous walks of life. Their fear of failure makes weaklings of them, just as the fear of disease renders them fit subjects for it. It was not long since that some thoughtless companions of a young lady who had a horror of smallpox told her that she had been exposed to the dis- ease and pointed to some innocent red splotches on her face as evidence that she was taking it. For days and nights she suffered from pain and fever and mental anguish, Upon learning the facts in the case the physician assured her that she had not been exposed to the disease and that there were no symptoms of it. She thereupon took a turn for the better and rapidly re- gained her health. ‘This 1s but one of the constantly re- curring instances of the effects of fear on the mind and through it on the body. Shark Fishing eason, the best season for catching sharks seems to be during the cooler months from October to March, Fishermen say that sharks are not so plentiful at other times of the year. The flesh, fins, maws, jaws and other bones, livers and skins all enter Into the commerce of Aden, which is ‘the center of the shark-fishing indus- try, The fresh meat of the smaller sharks 1s sold regularly in the fish bazaar at very reasonable prices to the poorer classes of natives who cannot afford other sorts of fish. The meat Is strong, but is sald to be quite palat- able when one is accustomed to eat- Ing It. The principal consumers of shark meat are the Arabs, although the native Jews and Somalis also use it. The Somali and Arab are Moham- ‘medans ond their religion forbids eat- ‘Ing the flesh of any fish that has not scales. However, the working classes | of natives are so poor that shark meat Is the only sort of fish they can afford. | Don’t Use Rhubarb Leaves.

"is grossly exaggerated. I find that there is little real betting on the daily games. Now and then someone will offer to bet a fair amount that a certain pitcher will beat the Giants, but these offers are few and far between. "You will hear it said that $1,000,000 has been wagered on the Giants winning the pennant this year. Don't believe it. The true amount is nearer $100,000. One man who is reputed to have wagered $50,000 on McGraw's team has only $15,000. He would bet the other $35,000, but he can't get it covered at even money. "There is little or no money bet on the American league race. A few small bets have been made that the Yankees will finish higher than the White Sox. Baseball is not a good betting proposition, which may be just as well for the game." ROLLO ZEIDER A HANDY MAN Cub Player Is Batting Viciously and Can Play Any Infield Position With Dexterity. Rollo Zeider is proving a handy man for the Cubs. He is batting vehemently and can play any infield position with considerable range and dexterity, THE BASEBALL PLAYER Zelder was once a White Sox, and later a Yank, handicapped by a pedal infirmity, and not able to show how good a player he was until he went to a hospital and had himself amputated from a bunion. PLAY BASEBALL IN EUROPE Manager Callahan of Pirates Thinks American Game Will Be Introduced After War Ends. Manager Jimmy Callahan of the Pirates believes that after the war is over and the various countries have had a chance to straighten themselves out and commence living again, international baseball will be a possibility. Says Jimmy: "When we played our games in London with the round-the-world teams a few years ago, the Britishers did not care much for the sport. Ground balls, and the fielding of them, did not interest them much, not nearly so much as fly balls which were caught. It didn't matter if it was a foul ball. They would applaud these and the fielding that went with them. Balls of that sort had cricket features, I suppose. Running bases and sliding to or back to a base were things they were inclined to laugh at and treat as a joke. I think that after the war if we take two teams over things will be different, and that there will be a grand opportunity to put in some licks for international baseball. Why not? It is far ahead of every other game that's played." FOUR NO-HIT GAMES IN 1908 Major League Pitchers Establish New Record In This Department of Professional Ball. The four no-hit games hurled by major league pitchers during the first month of 1917 season have established a new record in this department of professional baseball. The major league annals show that the greatest number of no-hit games pitched in any one season was in 1908, when there were four in the American and two in the National league. In 1909, 1905 and 1916 four such feats were recorded. Hank Gowdy FIRST BASEBALL PLAYER TO ENLIST IN ARMY. Baseball fans will never forget Harry (Hank) Gowdy. The tall blond catcher of the Boston Braves has made his name among professional ball players by no act on the diamond, although he is known by reputation wherever our national game is played. Gowdy is the first player among the hundreds eligible for national service in the major league who has enlisted. By thus coming to the front by his own voluntary act he not only displays a true Americanism which reflects great credit upon him personally, but also that of his profession. But he also has done an act that undoubtedly will be emulated by others of the professional diamond. oldest of the baseball or For five years he has be stay of the Braves back of his work always has been and marked by a degree marked him a leader of his position. He came in prominence in the world tween Boston and the Ath fall of 1914, when the Bra first to win the champion taking four straight games. Gowdy was the batting series. He also caught all for Boston, and his all-ro as a catcher was never m in his career than in tn Standing more than six fe Gowdy is no ordinary ball player. Neither is he of ordinary mold. He is a recognized leader among those of his profession; a man with character and brains. Gowdy is a man who would have been successful in most any vocation that he might have selected, had not his skill as a ball player made him one of the best catchers in the RAY CHAPMAN HELPS INDIANS Best Shortstop In American League In 1915 Again Back in Stride— Is Speedy on Bases. One factor in the Indians' getting into the first division is the return of Hay Chapman to the form he displayed in 1915, when he was known as the best shortstop in the league when every department of the game was considered. He is fielding brilliantly again, is hitting over .300, has made many extra-base hits, is getting on bases consistently, leads in stolen bases and is tied for second honors as a run-getter. His speed on the bases has been marvelous, especially when one recalls X that three years ago he broke his ankle and a year ago was out a month with water on the knee, an accident that many thought would result in his slowing up. LOSE EXTRA-INNING GAMES Giants Begin to Get Fidgety After Contest Has Gone Beyond the Regulation Distance. One thing which is absolutely essential for the Giants to acquire to be considered a real high-class team is the ability to win extra-inning games, writes Frederick G. Lieb in the New York Sun. Imagine a team like the old Cubs or the Athletics of a few years back being considered beaten after a game had passed the nine-inning stage. The Athletics practically were unbeatable in extra innings. Yet on the Polo grounds as soon as a game goes into the tenth inning the fans say "Good-night." In a way, the mentality of the Giant players is largely responsible for this so-called inning jinx. They have lost so many extra-inning games at home during the last two seasons that they get fidgety after a game goes beyond the regulation distance. THE CUT RATE P. J.

For five years he has been the mainstay of the Braves back of the bat, and his work always has been conscientious and marked by a degree of skill that marked him a leader of those playing his position. He came into unusual prominence in the world's series between Boston and the Athletics in the fall of 1914, when the Braves were the first to win the championship title by taking four straight games. Gowdy was the batting hero of the series. He also caught all the games for Boston, and his all-round playing as a catcher was never more brilliant in his career than in these games. Standing more than six feet, weighing close to 190 pounds, of fine intelligent face, with a shock of waving blond hair, he always has been a conspicuous figure on the professional diamond. Gowdy sacrifices a salary of $6,000 as a ball player to serve his country in the humble capacity of a private in the Ohio National Guard. All honor and glory to Gowdy.

Use More Honey. In order to use more honey we must have more bees to make more honey. Bees are really most wonderful workers on small rations and little outside labor. Honey deserves a far more conspicuous place in cookery than it now occupies. If the price of sugar keeps up, we may all be compelled to "own a bee." Honey Corn Bread Thoroughly mix two pounds of corn meal and one-quarter of a pound of flour and add four cupfuls of boiling water. Stir briskly for three minutes; set aside and to two well-beaten eggs add two teaspoonfuls of honey, one tablespoonful of melted shortening and one and a half cupfuls of warm yeast mixture. When well mixed stir into the flour and meal and stir for half an hour. Pour into a well-greased, deep pan, cover with a piece of paper and set in a warm place for two hours to rise. Remove the paper and bake in a moderate oven until the top is a golden brown. This bread should be served hot and any left over may be reheated. Serve with honey if so desired. Honey for Children Honey is a most desirable sweet for children provided they do not swallow the wax as it is not at all digested. Strained honey for the small people will be safest and best. Baked apples, apple sauce, pies of various kinds using sugar for sweetening may all be sweetened with honey. Honey Gingersnap. Into a double boiler put three-quarters of a cupful of shortening, a cupful of honey and two teaspoonfuls of powdered ginger. Allow it to cook three minutes after reaching the boiling point. Remove from the fire and set aside to cool. When nearly cold, stir in enough flour to make the mixture stiff enough to roll. Roll out quite thin and cut into small cakes. Bake in a brisk oven. Honey will sweeten custards, puddings of various kinds like taploca, gelatin or bread puddings, as well as rice and cornstarch. Honey Spice Cake. Str together until creamy one and one-half cupfuls of honey and a scant cupful of shortening. Add gradually, in alternate quantities, two well-beaten eggs, one-half cupful of milk, three cupfuls of flour in which two teaspoonfuls of baking powder has been sifted. Add a cupful of raisins, some nuts if liked and spices to taste. Bake in a well-greased deep cake pan until brown. Nessie Maxwell If there is one man that every other man feels like heaving a brick at it is the man who Sulks —doggedly, foolishly, and blatantly Sulks. For the Sulker not only refuses to do anything himself but he throws a wet blanket over the good intentions and desires of everybody about him. PETER B. Few of us there are who do not Sulk at times. But of all the nonsensical nonsense Sulking takes first place. If every Sulker could but sit by long enough for those interested in him to dig a hole in which to put him, he would come out of his trance mighty quikly, for if there is anything that a Sulker hates it is nonsympathy and utter abandonment. Here is a little suggestion for the ridding of this world of its Sulkers: First, never Sulk yourself—be too busy. Second, whenever you see a Sulker, forget him and leave him—the Sulker is never happy alone. Clothes moths, injurious to woolens and furs, may be controlled by use of simple methods, according to George A. Dean, professor of entomology in the Kansas State Agricultural college. Repellents will not protect fabrics if they have become infested, pointed out Professor Dean. Even to depend upon such repellents as camphor, mothballs, or even tobacco, will prove more or less unsatisfactory. Castoff woolens should not be stored in dark closets or in attics, where they will breed insects that feed on animal matter. The floors and corners in closets should be kept clean. Articles in daily use, such as carpets, rugs and clothing, are not likely to become seriously infested. Woolen garments, furs and plumes stored in dark closets, wardrobes or bureau C HARRIS & EWING Not all the drilling at the soldiers' training camps is done with guns. Callisthenic exercises are used extensively to put the men in condition for work in the field. The picture shows a group of men at the officers' training camp at Fort Myer, near Washington, engaged in this kind of drill. "Many a Mickle Makes a Muckle." Half a cup of milk—whole, skimmed or sour—a seemingly trifling matter—hardly worth the trouble to keep or use. In many households quite a little milk is wasted—left uncovered in glasses—regarded as useless because the cream has been skimmed off—allowed to sour—poured down the sink or thrown out. Now, if every home—there are 20,000,000 of them—should waste on the average one-half cup daily, it would mean a waste of 2,500,000 quarts daily—912,500,000 quarts a year—the total product of more than 400,000 cows. It takes a lot of grass and grain to make that much milk—and an army of people to produce and deliver it. But every household doesn't waste a half-cup of milk a day? Well, say that one-half cup is wasted in only one out of a hundred homes. Still intolerable, declare government experts, when milk is so nutritious—when skim milk can be used in making nutritious soups and cereal dishes—when sour milk 'can be used in bread-making or for cottage cheese. Deaf Men Found to Be Best Workers in Noisy Factory The war is developing new labor conditions and problems. Probably the most unique instance which has come to light is contained in a request made of the labor bureau of the Ohio branch of the national defense council by an Ohio manufacturer, says the Columbus Dispatch. "I want from twenty to thirty deaf men. If they are deaf and dumb both, it won't make any difference." This was the request made by a big Ohio manufacturer. "I will pay them from $2.50 to $3.50 per day and give them steady work. I want to put them to work in one branch of my factory where the noise is so great that it is impossible to keep hearing men on the job. I tried a couple of deaf men and they have proved so successful that I want a score or more of them." His Check Was Too Big. Matthew White, Jr., cashier at the Hotel Belvidere, in Baltimore, has had many requests made of him and he thought he was immune from surprise until a guest from the far West stepped up to his window and asked him if he could cash a check. "Certainly," said Mr. White, "that's what I am here for. How will you have it, fives, ten or small change?" "Not particular," said the guest laying down a United States treasury check for $195,000. When Mr. White recovered he owned up that he did not have quite that much money in his cash drawer. "But," said Mr. White, "leave it with me, and I will send it to the subtreasury and you can call for the money in the morning." The stranger explained that it was just a little joke. The check was good, and had been given to him in Washington in payment for three ships sold the government. Why "Jeopardy" Left. Hudson Maxim, inventor of explosives, tells this shivery anecdote in a volume called "Dynamite Stories Just Published:" "We once had a servant girl whom we nicknamed 'Jeopardy', drawers suffer most. The greatest damage is done in the summer when woolens and furs are not in use and the moths are most active. If such garments and materials that are not to be used are carefully brushed, beaten, sunned and placed in tight pasteboard boxes, the joints of which are sealed with gummed paper, they will go through the summer in comparative safety. Such articles may also be protected by inclosing in paper bags and hanging free of the floor—in a closet or in the attic. Clothing put away in a closet or a wardrobe should be brushed and sunned before storage and carefully examined at least once a month throughout the summer. Trunks or boxes in which clothing is to be stored should be cleaned and treated with gasoline. The clothing to be packed away in them should first be beaten, brushed and sunned. In addition to this, garments should be fumigated with carbon bisulphide at least once a month. because she could not be prevented from pouring kerosene directly from the can upon a lighted fire. One day Jeopardy left us very suddenly, and she never came back. We are sorry she left, as Jeopardy was a good girl. It developed that she had chanced to find a fifty-pound case of dynamite sticks in the woodshed, which she had been using to start the fire in the kitchen stove. Sometimes dynamite will work all right for such a purpose, but it is notional stuff and cannot be depended upon merely to burn. It was during one of these intervals that Jeopardy went." Just Between Friends. Of all the friends you have, don't you get the most comfort and satisfaction from the one who never disappoints you? If she says she will meet you at one o'clock, you know you will see her at that time, and on the dot. Her clothes seem to look fresher and crisper than those of your other friends. Her smile is more ready and wholesome. Her eyes are brighter and more expressive. Her hands and feet are more trim and neat. Blessed be the woman who has learned the value of time. Most men, the successful ones at least, know the value of time. It is all right to be "temperamental," but when it comes to keeping an engagement, forget temperament. It does not signify that you are popular and have a great many engagements just because you are careless in keeping those you make. A woman should be as punctual as a man. Poultry Pointers. --- Preserve surplus fresh eggs in water glass or limewater. A small number of chickens can be kept in almost any backyard. They can be fed a large extent on table scraps and vegetable waste. Their eggs should make a substantial addition to the family food supply. They can be housed at small expense in piano boxes or other large packing cases. Surplus cockerels from hatchings and old hens will take the place of a considerable quantity of purchased meat. Separate roosters from hens after the hatching season and produce infertile eggs. Such eggs are much more easily kept in good condition than fertile eggs. The greatest success in successful poultry raising for market and eggs is to know your flock thoroughly, know which are the producers and get rid of the drones. Keep a box of dry bran where the hens can have access to it. Feed the pullets not only for eggs, but for growth. They ought to keep on growing for some time yet. English Editor's Wit. Sir Francis Cowley Burnand, formerly editor of Punch, died at Ramsgate, England, at the age of eighty-one. He was a playwright and author of much light literature. Among his publications are "Happy Thoughts," 1860; the Happy Thought Series; "Modern Sandford and Merton"; "New Light on Darkest Africa;" "Strapmore"; "Ride to Khiva;" "Eccentric Guide to Isle of Thanet," and more than one hundred and twenty plays, chiefly burlesque and light comedies. A born wit was the famous writer. A friend met him out walking one cold day, and accosted him with, "You never wear an overcoat, Burnand?" "No, I never was!" came back the answer, quick as a flash. Had he fresh in his mind, one wonders, the old answer to the riddle, "What is the difference between a great-coat and baby," which runs: "One you wear (were) and one you was!" 'Cause He May Be Dough-ty Don't ever think that because a man is known to be crusy that he is as easy as ple. The opposite is generally the fact. -Indianapolis Star. BOYS AND GIRLS OF AMERICA FORM NATION'S FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE The present world war has brought about much demand for military training. Last year the state of New York passed a law providing military training for all boys between the ages of sixteen and nineteen. The bill further provides for a military commission to prescribe the proper kind of military training. A very able commission was appointed. After giving this subject careful study, and investigating what European countries are doing, the commission found out that the best military training comes through play, through that vigorous play that develops the lungs, the heart and other vital organs—that builds up a physique that is strong and that has the power of endurance. And so the course of military training prescribed consists of basket ball, baseball and other vigorous games, drills, exercises and hikes. It is the kind of training that will best fit them, also, for the battles of peace. We have heard much about the efficiency of the Germans during this war. No German youth is given training in the tactics of arms until he is nineteen years old. All the military training that he receives in the grammar school and high schools is play and gymnastics. The people of America are rapidly realizing that their first line of defense is their boys and girls; that, according to their development, would depend the future America's ability to defend herself in war, or to hold her own in peace.

"Here the government says married men are not exempt from war." "Humph! Every married man who ever tried to boss his wife knows that." "Oh, she's upstairs, dressing." "Well, what makes her so long?"

Among the "cottage" industries of Paraguay is the manufacture of a lace called "manduti" (from the Guaranian word meaning web). The articles produced, which are all made by hand, include parasol covers, handkerchiefs, dollies, boleros, mantillas, table mats, shawls, edging and insertion. The articles most popular with foreigners are parasol covers, mantillas, dollies, handkerchiefs and mats, these being made of silk or very fine cotton thread. These laces appear to be superior in quality and design to similar laces made in the Canary Islands and Mexico. The lace is usually sold by peddling it from house to house, and has never been exported to any important degree. We Need So Little. We need so much in the flush of youth When your heart is pulsing with life's tide; We long for beauty and love and truth With a hunger and thirst unsatisfied. We toll for fame and we grasp at power, Our souls are attuned to the world's mad strife. All heaven and earth seem our rightful dower— For we need so much in the rush of life. We need so little when life is done And the spirit soars from its chrysalis; From our careless fingers, one by one, Drop the useless treasures we shall not miss. The glitter of gold, the hoarded heap Of prizes and praises so hardly won. We will barter them all for a dreamless sleep— For we need so little when life is done —Ida Goldsmith Morris. Japanese Form Unions and Will Demand Higher Wages. Agricultural and commercial unions are forming in many parts of Japan. One of the most noticeable results of the European war is the advancement in geographical and commercial knowledge acquired by the working people from the newspapers. They have improved to a remarkable degree in information about the rest of the world. Prior to the war, the laboring classes knew almost nothing about the rest of the world. Due to the enterprise of the Japanese journals in chronicling the progress of events, the entire population is fully informed. The Japanese people have become cosmopolitans, says the East and West News. They are contented, because plenty of work offers; but they have learned about the wages paid in other parts of the labor for labor similar to theirs and are very likely, after the war, to insist on higher wages. Opinion is general that skilled workmen in Japan will insist on better remuneration. The Wise Mother.

By so doing she knows to a certainty how her little ones are progressing, and if they lose enthusiasm she encourages them to better efforts.

Scowl and Be Scowled At. You cannot get over the shock you had today when your demure little daughter turned on you defiantly and glared at you when you suggested she do a certain thing distasteful to her. You met the situation by glaring back, didn't you—and perhaps threatened to whip her if she were not more obedient. Ever since then you have been wondering where she got that wicked expression in her eyes. As you thought about it your face took on the same look, and you have just realized that that is the way you often look at her when she disobeys you. You have nagged her for days trying to correct a trivial but disagreeable falling. You never thought of how you have looked to her as you fussed and fumed and raved and ranted at each recurrence of her disobedience. Have you ever controlled yourself when you talked to the child on the subject? Never let your face take on an expression that you would be ashamed to see reflected in your daughter.

It has often been remarked that had Johnson been with the Cubs, Giants, Tigers or Athletics when those teams were winning pennants he would have established some pitching records that would have stood for all time. And Joe Jackson has been prevented from playing in a world's series because he happened to be under contract to the hard-luck Cleveland team up to last year. There is still a chance for Jackson realizing his ambition, as he is now with a team that has been in the thick of the pennant race for two seasons, and Joe should be good for several more years before he starts on the path which all players eventually travel—backward. As for Johnson, there are at least four clubs in the American League that are so far ahead of the Senators that Walter will have little opportunity of getting into a world's series unless he is disposed of to another club, or unless Clark Griffith becomes a miracle man and puts over an unexpected winning combination.

The Better Impulse By Cecilia Langdon (Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.) "Lonesome today, I suppose?" questioned Melvin Waite, as he came home from work to be greeted with the usual warm and welcome kisses. "Why, not so much as usual, dear," replied bright and lovely Arline, the bride of a month. "Of course it is dreadfully horrid here without you, but I had company nearly half of the afternoon." "Indeed?" spoke Melvin. "Yes. It seems that our neighbors next door have three children—two boys and the sweetest cherub of a little girl you ever saw. The three of them trooped into the yard shyly and after a vast secret confab, the tiny miss approached and asked me if I would make a belt for each of the brothers, as they had wooden swords and she a flag and they were going to war." "I declare!" commented Melvin, smiling in his usual good-natured way. "They got hold of a broad leather strap," went on Arline. "Well, to make the story short I cut it in two and found some buckles in your fishing kit." "Um!" muttered Melvin under his breath, "of course, the silver ones! She'd be sure to pick out the prettiest." "I sewed the buckles on and fitted up the little ones nicely," Arline proceeded with her narration. "Then the delighted tots played soldier to their hearts' content. It was a very pleasant break in the monotony, for, dear, you know I count every minute until you come home." Which compliment of adoration and a hug and a kiss won Melvin over to forget his cherished buckles. Soon, however, his brow clouded anew. "The scissors wouldn't cut the tough leather," prattled on Arline breezily, "but oh! your razor was so sharp, wilton "Who Do You Think Turned Up Again Today?" "Who Do You Think Turned Up Again Today?" Why, I sipped those belts out in a jiffy. Why, what is the matter, honey? For Melvin had uttered a groan, deep, dismal, foreboding. Deffly, however, he avowed a cramp in his foot. He allowed the episode to pass, but he took the first opportunity he could to inspect his razor case. "It's good there's two of them," he soliloquized, and none too happily. "Did a man ever see such artlessness—and destructiveness? I won't scold, though. She will mend as time goes on." But Arline did not mend. A week later Melvin came home to find Arline jubilantly excited as she held up to his view a fancy vest. "Isn't it cleanl' just beautiful?" she demanded, with sparkling eyes. "You know how it was spotted. Well, I got your tooth brush and your hat brush and some gasoline, and rubbed, and rubbed, and rubbed, and—why, how glum you look, dearle!" "Only amazed at the fine job you have done," observed Melvin craftily. "It's the limit," he muttered, once alone. "Till have to consult mother and see what can be done." But mother was kindly indulgent. She smiled in her gentle, patient way. "My boy," she said, "don't forget that Airline is young and inexperienced. And remember one thing—all these remarkable experiments of hers are actuated by the very best impulses in the world. She means well, and I wouldn't try to subdue the kindly spirit for worlds, if I were you." So Melvin bore his burden patiently. Then came a final move on the part of Arline that very nearly drove him frantic. He searched the wardrobe one evening for a light summer coat he had not worn for some time, to find it gone. "Oh, yes, I remember," spoke Arline quickly. "I gave it away, dear. One sleeve was torn and patched and I decided it wasn't good enough for you." Melvin said no more, but he looked pretty serious. He recalled having left some papers in the pocket of the old coat. They were of no particular value to an outsider, but they referred to some private business matters of his own which had caused him a good deal of anxiety. "Who was the man you gave the coat to?" inquired Melvin, controlling the feelings that were surging within him and endeavoring to speak casually. "Oh, I suppose he was a tramp," replied Arline, "but he acted real respectable and polite. He said he was trampling through the village, and, as he had lived here once, many years ago, it seemed good to see the old town. He said he was quite rich once and owned property here, but had lost everything through drink, although he had given that up now." "They all say that," observed Melvin. He made some inquiries the next day as to the tramp, for he would have liked to recover the papers, and then forget the circumstance. The documents in question constituted some letters and the written opinion of an attorney as to the title to Wellington Heights. That was a large tract of fertile farmland which had been willed to Melvin by his uncle. When he married, Melvin planned to sell the place and employ new capital in his business and build for themselves a more pretentious home. He met with severe disappointment. It seemed that his uncle had purchased the property from an estate and had taken the deed to it minus the signature of one heir, who could not be located. This heir was one Jasper Kingsley. His interest in the estate was ridiculously small, but the lack of his signature clouded the title to Wellington Heights, and no one would buy or loan on the property on that account. "Oh, Melvin! who do you think turned up again today?" inquired Arline a week later, as Melvin returned from the village. "I can't guess," said Melvin. "The tramp I gave your coat to." "After another one!" suggested Melvin in an acrid tone. "Not at all. He was very anxious to see you. He left these papers, which he found in the coat. He said he had discovered and read them, and that they interested him, and that he must see you to explain about something important." "As what, for instance?" questioned Melvin skeptically. "He wouldn't say. He'll be here again about seven o'clock," he said. "Humph! to ask a reward for returning the papers, I'll warrant!" declared Melvin. There was a ring at the front door bell just as husband and wife had finished their evening meal. Melvin answered the summons to greet the tramp Arline had told him about. "This is Mr. Waite?" inquired his visitor. "Yes, what is it?" asked Melvin, rather crisply. "I brought back some papers." "I know you did." "I happened to read them—lucky for you! It seems that you are troubled about a cloud on the title of Wellington Heights. To clear it a quit-claim deed from Jasper Kingsley is necessary." "That is true," answered Melvin. "Well, I'm Jasper Kingsley, and your sweet little wife treated me so cleverly I tramped it back here ten miles to sign the deed." "Ive made arrangements with Jasper to hire him around the new home we're going to build," Melvin advised his wife a few days later, "and I have provided for him handsomely outside of that. I shall never try to curb an impulse of your kindly heart, Arline, dear, for your charity in giving away that old coat has mended all our fortunes." Lost Picture Found. A long lost Raphael was recently found in London. How it has been brought to light is one of the curiosities of picture dealing. A few months ago, a London picture dealer bought in a salesroom what was said to be a copy of the picture in the Uffizi gallery of Florence, known as Raphael's "Madonna del Pozzo" (the Madonna of the Well). For a long time past this Florence picture had been known to be not actually by Raphael, but a copy of a picture presumably lost. The London picture dealer sold his "copy of a copy" for a modest sum to one of his clients, a well-known and well-to-do city merchant. It was sent to be cleaned. Cleaning off of some apparently superfluous paint revealed the existence of another picture underneath and actually of the same subject. When all the top picture was taken off there was revealed a remarkable piece of work, which has been declared by many experts to be unmistakably the work of Raphael himself—in fact, the picture from which the Florence gallery painting may have been copied. His Prescription. He had been out the night before, during a Zeppelin raid. The shock to his system was so great that he and had to sit up with a friend and finish two bottles of restorative, and start on a third. In the morning he naturally felt ill, so he hied himself unto the man of pills and potions. One glance was sufficient for the doctor to diagnose his case. "Ah, yes! Any special symptom?" "Yes, doctor. Every now and then I come over so funny. Something inside me keeps coming up and then settling down again." "Ah, yes," replied the unsympathetic brute. "I know what's the matter with you. You've swallowed a lift. Here's a bottle of my elevating tonic. That'll hoist it right up through the skylight. Half a guinea, please. Thank you."—London Mall.

Then he found his people pushed into it. Nowadays he is the more or less perturbed manager of a force of 20 clerks and 40 stenographers, and his family is growing.

BE FEARLESS AND IMPARTIAL Admonition to Exemption Boards Asks Greatest Impartiality and Least Personal Hardship—Each Case on Its Merits. Washington, D. C.—Regulations to govern the next step toward selecting a national war army from the millions registered for service on June 5, were issued at the direction of President Wilson. They leave to be prescribed later the manner of determining the order of liability of the men registered, but set forth in great detail the method of arriving at exemptions and the work generally of the local and district boards already named to carry out the task. Exemption regulations add little to the terms of the draft law, the question of whether a man between the ages of twenty-one and thirty is entitled to exemption because of dependents, the nature of his occupation or physical unfitness being for the boards to decide after proper investigation. It is made clear, however, that there are to be no class exemptions and that each individual case must be decided upon its merits. The local boards—one for each county of less than 45,000 population or city of 30,000, with additional boards where necessary for each additional 30,000 population—will pass upon claims for exemption, except those based upon industrial or agricultural occupation, subject to appeals to the district boards. All cases involving agricultural or industrial exemptions will be passed upon by the district boards—one for each federal judicial district—which also will decide appeals from decisions of the local boards. To Fix Date for Board Meetings. In the near future a date will be set by Brig. Gen. Crowder, provost marshal-general, for the meeting and organization of the boards. At the same time it is expected that the selection regulations will be promulgated so that the process may be put under delay. The present intention is to call the men selected to the colors about September 1. In a statement accompanying the announcement of the regulations, the president called upon the boards to do their work fearlessly and impartially and to remember that "our armies at the front will be strengthened and sustained if they be composed of men free from any sense of injustice in their mode of selection." All Forces on Equal Footing. The statement follows: "The regulations which I am today causing to be promulgated, pursuant to the direction of the selective service law, cover the remaining steps of the plan for calling into the service of the United States qualified men from those who have registered; those selected as the result of this process to constitute, with the regular army, the National guard and the navy, the fighting forces of the nation, all of which forces are under the terms of the law placed in a position of equal right, dignity and responsibility with the members of all other military forces. "The regulations have been drawn with a view to the needs and circumstances of the whole country and provide a system which it is expected will work with the least inequality and personal hardship. Any system of selecting men of military service, whether voluntary or involuntary in its operation, necessarily selects some men to bear the burden of danger and sacrifice for the whole nation. The system here provided places all men of military age upon an even plane, and then, by a selection which neither favors the one nor penalizes the other, calls upon the requisite number for service. Urges Boards to Act Impartially. Urges Boards to Act impartially. "The successful operation of this law and of these regulations depends necessarily upon the loyalty, patriotism and justice of the members of the boards to whom its operation is committed, and I admonish every member of every local board and of every district board of review that their duty to their country requires an impartial and fearless performance of the delicate and difficult duties intrusted to them. They should remember as to each individual case presented to them that they are called upon to adjudicate the most sacred rights of the individual and to preserve unattarnished the honor of the nation. "Our armies at the front will be strengthened and sustained if they be composed of men free from any sense of injustice in the mode of selection, and they will be inspired to loftier efforts in behalf of a country in which the citizens called upon to perform high public functions, perform them with justice, fearlessness and impartiality."

As the men so notified appear the boards first will make a physical examination in accordance with special regulations to be provided, bearing in mind that all persons accepted by them will be re-examined by army surgeons. If the physical examination is passed successfully, then comes the question of exemption. Those Entitled to Exemption. Persons who must be exempted or charged by the local board include: Officers of the United States, of the states, territories and the District of Columbia; ministers of religion, students of divinity, persons in the military or naval service of the United States, subjects of Germany, all other aliens who have not taken out first papers, county or municipal officers, customhouse clerks, workmen in federal armories, arsenals and navy yards, persons in the federal service designated by the president for exemption, plots, merchant marine sailors, those with a status with respect to dependents which renders their exclusion desirable (a married man with dependent wife or child, son of a dependent widow, son of dependent, aged or infirm parent, or brother of dependent orphan child under sixteen years of age), those found morally deficient, and any member of any well-recognized religious sect existing May 18, 1917, whose creed forbids participation in war and whose religious convictions accord with the creed. Man or Wife May Make Claim. Claims for exemption because of dependents may be made by the man himself, his wife or other dependents, or by a third party who has personally investigated the case. A claim made by the husband must be accompanied by supporting affidavits signed by the wife and by the head of a family residing in the same territory. A claim by the wife or a third party must be accompanied by two supporting affidavits signed by heads of families. Similar rules govern claims on the grounds of other dependents when the dependents or third parties being authorized to file claims with supporting affidavits. In each case the board must be satisfied before it grants exemption or discharge that the dependent or dependents actually are supported mainly by the fruits of the man's mental or physical labor. Local boards are required, subject to appeal, to pass upon claims for exemption or discharge within three days after the filing of affidavits. Must Decide in Five Days. District boards must decide appeal cases within five days after the closing of proofs and their decisions are final. If the ruling of a local board is affirmed the person in question stands finally accepted for military service. In passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment in necessary industrial and agricultural occupations the district boards must be convinced that the particular enterprise affording such employment actually is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment of national interest during the emergency. "The evidence must also establish," the regulations say, "even if the particular industrial enterprise or particular agricultural enterprise is found necessary for one of the above purposes, that the continuance of such person therein is necessary to the maintenance thereof and that he cannot be replaced by another person without direct, substantial material loss and detriment to the adequate and effective operation of the particular industrial enterprise or agricultural enterprise in which he is engaged." May Designate Certain Industries Later the president may from time to time designate certain industries or classes of industries that are necessary and the district boards will be so notified. It will be the duty of each board, however, to ascertain the available labor supply for such industries outside the men called for military service and to take the result into consideration in determining such things. "If, in the opinion of the district board," this section of the regulations concludes, "the direct, substantial, material loss to any such industrial or agricultural enterprise outweighs the loss that would result from failure to obtain the military service of any such person, a certificate of discharge may be issued to him X X X." Certificates of exemption will not necessarily be permanent. They may be revoked with changing conditions, or may be granted only for prescribed periods.

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN Red-blooded, but not black-skinned. The following is the copy sent to Northwest papers by Lieut. Commander, Jas. D. Willson, U. S. Navy. Mr. American Citizen; Do you realize that the United States Navy is still short many thousands of men to properly man the ships now building to be ready for active war service the latter part of this year? The Navy needs real men — red blooded Americans who are willing to do their bit for good old U. S. A., as did the men and boys of 1776 and 1861. Are you going to sit tight and "Let George do it" and in the future be ashamed to answer your children and grandchildren when they say, "Daddy, what did you do during the great War?", or are you going to be in a position to say "Daddy was a Navy Volunteer, fought for this country of ours and helped to make the blessings of Liberty secure for ourselves and our posterity, and also helped save some of the starving mothers and children of Europe." Now is the time for you to step forward and volunteer for the Navy—always found ready when needed by your Uncle Sam. Man of the type of Farragut, Dewey, Lawrence, Perry and Nathan Hale are wanted. There are plenty of them in this city who will "make history" when they finally volunteer. The Northwest has never been found wanting when the Nation needed men. Volunteer now, write or telegraph Navy Recruiting Station, Minneapolis. Branch stations at St. Paul, St. Cloud, Duluth and Brainerd, Minn., and Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot and Bismarck, N. D. I realize your position for which you are entirely responsible. I have offered my services, but according to your orders "Negroes are not wanted" as white men. My fathers fought with Perry on Lake Erie, with Farragut at New Orleans and in Mobile Bay. I served with Dewey at Manilla and with Sampson at Santiago, and have never been "found wanting" other than a chance to fight for you. A thousand of my brothers are waiting, until you cast aside your prejudice, and you will be compelled to do so. The Negro Americans are sitting tight and do not care, who does it. Should you need them (and you certainly will) they are ready. Discrimination has denied them the ability to serve you, as they would like to; but your persecution has not overcome their patriotism. They are here, there, and everywhere, in the land of their birth, the U. S. A. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE STAR. It is our purpose to have our young people learn the value of efficiency. Learn to be the master of one vocation. The ambitious Negro of the last generation has everything in his favor. It was not long ago, that the college diploma was the best credential for menial employment. There is a grand future for every ambitious young man or woman today. They may feel assured of a safe return for their time spent in preparing for their proposed work. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION IMPORTANT WORK FOR EDUCATION NEED OF BETTER EQUIPMENT Facts Presented In Report of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones Show Lack of Proper Facilities For Doing Effective Work—Short School Terms and Poor Attendance Constitute Big Problem. In his recent report on educational facilities for the colored people, which he recently completed for the federal bureau of education and the Phelps-Stokes fund, Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones says: "Since an efficient school system not only enrolls the pupils, but also holds them in school with some degree of regularity until they have finished the elementary grades, it is evident that the low attendance in colored schools is the first great problem to be solved. The improvement of attendance requires not only a better school plant, trained teachers and more effective work, but also a stronger interest in the school among the masses of the colored people that they may place more emphasis on regularity and punctuality in attendance. "The multiplication of small, one room schools, which has led to the movement for consolidation in the case of white children, has not extended to the colored schools. Colored schools have never multiplied fast enough to be too close together, and it is not uncommon to find pupils who have walked six or seven miles to attend school." And when the children get to school, the report continues, they are apt to find it not only overcrowded, but also taught in a building not owned by the public authorities. In Alabama over 60 per cent of the schools are taught in such buildings, and in Georgia the condition is even worse. "So long as the school is housed in such a temporary manner," says Dr. Jones, "it is exceedingly difficult to arouse the interest of teachers, pupils or patrons sufficiently to improve the plant or add to the value of the property." As for overcrowding, the report mentions a careful survey made by state supervisors in three typical counties of Alabama, where the seating capacity of the eighty colored schools was 3,794, their enrollment was 6,391 and their attendance was 5,832. Dr. Jones also emphasizes the danger of the large average group of pupils in the schools and points out that the average school term in the south is less than six months, in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and the Carolinas the term being less than five months. As for the teachers, Dr. Jones says in part: "The teachers of colored public schools occupy a peculiarly important position. They are not only the chief agents in stimulating the interest of the colored people in the public schools, but they are also in a position to present the needs of the colored schools effectively to the school officials. Their work, well done, will not only produce better trained men and women, but will also develop friendly and helpful relations between the white and colored people of the south. "Such a responsibility should be placed only on well trained teachers. Observation, however, shows that the large majority of the teachers now in the schools are utterly incapable of any responsibility. The chapter on 'Teacher Training' in this report makes plain the fact that the public provision for training colored teachers is negligible. Even the private schools supply only a small proportion of the number needed. The question of teachers' salaries, white and colored, has received considerable attention, and some improvement in the salaries of white teachers has been made. The wage scale of colored teachers is still very low, however." The report points out that where the system is in force of paying the jailer so much per capita for boarding the prisoners the minimum amount fixed is generally $150. With this figure in mind the comparative table for the salaries of white and colored teachers in eight southern states is illuminating. Some of the figures are: Alabama, white. $355; colored, $159; Georgia, white. $319; colored, $119; Kentucky, white. $323; colored, $310; North Carolina, white. $197; colored, $119; South Carolina, white. $333; colored, $110. "The inadequate compensation is ample explanation of the poor teaching found in most of the rural public schools for colored people. It is little wonder that 70 per cent of the teachers in the 'black belt' states have less than six grades of elementary education." Discussing in another part of his report the relative interest taken by the south in its white and colored public school, Dr. Jones says that the rapid increase of the appropriations for white schools during the past few years and especially the multiplication of white high schools in the southern states have given rise to the belief that the appropriations for Negro schools have actually decreased. While this is probably true in some counties, the school records show an increase in the state appropriations for both the white and colored schools. ADVERTISE HERE. IT PAYS. AN APPEAL. The fundamental evil of our race is the lack of sufficient appreciation and interest of the responsibility and duty we owe to each other. We have allowed ourselves to so lapse into a state of inertia and lethargy that we are oblivious of the wrongs and injustices meted out to our people, and not even attempt to raise our voice in protest. Have we lost every sense and quality of manhood? Will we stand erect before the world high of heart and purpose? If we intend to play our part as a people and be prepared to do our duty to others, let us decide now what we want to do and make ready to do it. It is the duty of every adult member of the race to align himself or herself with this living existing organization and become an integral part of it. I am somewhat perplexed to think that any right thinking Negro should be without the pale of an association that stands uncompromisingly for freedom, equality and justice.

The man on the street or the woman at the door, who solicits aid on ground of your sympathy for his condition, may safely be assumed to be making a better living by that process than by accepting such care as the state offers. Minneapolis, just at the present moment, is suffering from an oversupply of beggars. The trade is a good one although somewhat risky. The more plausible the applicant appears, the greater the returns. But no genuinely poor person ever begs. It is difficult enough to find them with the aid of neighbors, schools, churches and relatives. The beggar is one who has discovered that a tale of suffering is an asset; and that no honestly poor person acknowledges. The continuance of begging is made possible by the continuance of thoughtless, unrelated relief giving, whether by individuals or societies. It will stop when we get together, pooling not only our resources but also our information. The waste of money in giving to the beggars does not compare in seriousness to the destroyed social sense produced in the mendicant. It is highly contagious and a well nigh incurable disease. We quarantine those who are carriers of small pox, we have not yet learned the method of preventing the spread of the begging spirit. — The Bulletin—Associated Charities of Minneapolis. A lie is always the cause of trouble and oftimes brings about serious results. Misrepresentations on the part of husband or wife will sooner or later cause a breach in their domestic relations. Many men, whose fraternal emblems signify that they are "on the square" and they will "defend the truth" will conspire to pull a crooked deal and protect a lie, especially when a woman is the victim. A woman should know something about her husband's affairs, and her motives cannot be considered entirely selfish or mercenary. A real adjustment will do much to prevent a family quarrel or a murder. I am against Catholic, Protestant, or Jew, if the representative of any of these creeds does anything against the American spirit. I demand whole-hearted and undivided loyalty to the United States. I denounce a crime against the country the effort by any section of our people, of whatever origin to perpetuate racial divisions in this country.—Theodore Rosevelt, in Metropolitan, Dec. 1916.
