COVERS FIVE MILE FRONT Teutons Are Abandoning Position in the Lowlands Owing to Fact That Their Lines Are Swept by British Guns. London, Aug. 16. — The Canadians have taken the villages of Damery and Parvillers, a short distance northwest of Roye, according to Field Marshal Halg's official communication. The British line southeast of Proyart, just south of the Somme, has been advanced a short distance. The fighting on the Somme-Oise battle front still continues of a minor character, compared with that of the early part of the week, when the Geramans reinforced their line and stopped the eastward sweep of the Allied forces. Nevertheless, the British and French have been able to gain ground on two important sectors—the British a short distance northwest of Roye, where they took the villages of Damery and Parvillers, and the French on the southern wing of the battle front, where they have captured two farms in the process of clearing the hilly and wooded district around Lassigny of the enemy. London, Aug. 16—Allied success in Picardy apparently has compelled the Germans to realign their positions between Albert and Arras. Enemy troops have begun a retirement on a five-mile front, but complete details of the movement are lacking. Between the Ancre and the Oise the fighting is still confined to local actions at various points. The British and French have improved their positions slightly north of the Somme, northwest of Roye, southwest of Lassigny and along the Oise. Enemy troops have shown no disposition to counterattack elsewhere and have confined their retaliatory efforts to artillery bombardments. Foe Abandons Four Towns. The extent of the German withdrawal north of Albert is not yet clearly defined and its effect upon the situation as a whole is problematical. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig announces the enemy has left his forward positions at Beaumont, Hamel, Serre, Pulsieux au Mont and Bucquoy. These are in the Hebuterne sector, where the Germans were stopped in their offensive of March 21. Many vain efforts were made by the Germans to reach the heights around Hebuterne, as their positions in this sector were dominated by the British guns. Should the German lines be moved back any great depth, the line south to Albert and thence to the Somme would be affected. Likewise the line northward to the Scarpe might have to be readjusted. Further German Retreat Seen. It is not unlikely that the movement here is similar in purpose to the recent withdrawals in the Lys salient and is a part of a German plan to get into as strong position as possible on the entire front from Ypres and Rheims. North of the Somme, Australian troops have improved their positions between Bray and Etlenham, reaching the western outskirts of Bray, one of the main bastions of the line south from Albert. East of Parvillers, north-west of Roye, the British have made progress toward the Chaulnes-Roye railroad. MICHIGAN YARD CLAIMS STEEL VESSEL RECORD Turns Out 3,000-Ton Freighter in Thirty Days After Laying the Keel. Detroit, Mich. Aug. 16.—A record in ship construction is claimed by the Great Lakes engineering works in delivering to the Emergency Fleet corporation, complete in every detail, the 3,500-ton steel freighter Crawl Keys 30 working days after its keel was laid in the yards at Ecorse, Mich. SEVERAL BOMBS FALL IN REGION OF PARIS Official Statement issued Says Germans Caused Only a Few Caustattles. Paris, Aug. 16.—Several bombs were dropped in the Paris region by 'German airplanes,' says an official statement issued. There were only a few wictims. GEN. SIR HENRY RAWLINSON Gen. Sir Henry Rawlinson is in command of the Fourth British army which has been taking part in the offensive in Picardy. DROP BOMBS ON FRANKFORT TWELVE ALLIED AVIATORS FLY OVER GERMAN CITY. Airmen Use Twenty-Six Missiles and Twelve Persons Are Said to Have Been Killed. Geneva, Aug. 16.—An official dispatch, received here from Frankfort, Germany, says that city was attacked by 12 enemy aviators, who dropped 26 bombs, killing 12 persons and injuring five others. Reports from Basel, however, assert that the casualties were far more numerous. These say that a bomb fell in the crowded Kaiserstrasse, killing many persons and stopping the street cars. That another fell in the middle of the large station and several in its vicinity, while two more fell in the barracks and still another near Goethe's house, which was undamaged. The Basel dispatch says the aerial attack has increased the panic reigning in the Rhine towns. Twenty-Two Shot Down. London, Aug. 16.—Twenty-two German airplanes were destroyed and six driven down out of control, according to the official communication on aerial operations, issued. Fifteen British airplanes are missing as a result of the Ir combats. GERMANS WITHDRAW TROOPS FROM VESLE Two Divisions Fall Back as Reply to American Guns is Lessened. With the American Army on the Vesle, Aug. 16.—The sustained pressure by the French and the Americans on the line between Soissons and Rheims appeared to be having the expected result. Information from behind the German front, obtained by observers, indicated the withdrawal of one or two enemy divisions. In addition, the counter actions of the Germans have been notably reduced of late. The enemy's reply to the Americans' guns, which never have ceased their punishment, has been appreciably less prompt. BRITISH INVEST ONE BILLION POUNDS IN LOAN Chancellor Bonar Law Asserts That All War Records Are Broken. London, Aug. 16.—The subscriptions for national war bonds have reached the stupendous figure of 1,000,000,000 pounds sterling, according to a statement issued by Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer. Hitherto, the statement says, the world's record was held by the great war loan of 1917, which yielded $948,459,000. BRITISH ARRIVAL AT BAKU IS IMPORTANT Troops From Mesopotamia Will Aid the Loyal Russians and Czecho-Slovaks. Washington, Aug. 16. — Arrival of British troops at Baku is considered here as highly important because it opens a way in that port of the world for Allied aid to Czecho-Slovaks and loyal Russians. Some weeks ago a body of British soldiers succeeded in pushing from Mesopotamia through to Resh. Ships were acquired at Enzell, the seaport of Resh, and it no doubt is this force that has reached Baku. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., AUGUST 17, 1918. ALLIES ADVANCING FAST IN SIBERIA EXPEDITIONARY FORCE IS ONE HUNDRED MILES SOUTH OF ARCHANGEL BOLSHEVIKI ARMIES RETIRE London, Aug. 16.—The Allied expeditionary force has reached Paboreshskala, 100 miles south of Archangel on the railroad toward Vologda, it is announced here. Bolsheyki forces on retiring are declared to have committed every form of atrocity upon the civilian population. Fairly determined resistance to the Allied advance was offered by the Bolshevki and the progress of the expeditionary force was delayed. Allied forces have been landed along the shore of Onega bay, 100 miles southwest of Archangel for the purpose of intercepting the Bolshevki retiring from Archangel, it is learned here. Another Allied detachment is pushing toward Kotlass, 260 miles south of the Volga river. Generals Alexieff and Denikline apparently are endeavoring to amalgamate their anti-Bolshevki forces with the army of the Czecho-Slovaks. Washington, Aug. 16.—American troops began to disembark at Vladivostok and immediately will join the international force to aid the Czechoslovak army in its campaign in Siberia. The Americans compose the Twenty-seventh regular infantry regiment from Manila, and will be followed by another regiment from the Philippines and additional troops from the United States. The Twenty-seventh regiment has not been recruited to war strength and the exact number of men is not definitely known here but is estimated at 1,200 to 1,500. Colonel Henry D. Styter commands the Twenty-seventh regiment. The entire American force will be under Major General Graves, who has been commanding a regular army division in Camp Kearney, Cal. Bolsheviki Near Rout. The march of events in Russia from news received seems to be rapidly assuming the proportions of a rout of the Bolshevik and of a nature to bring dismay to Germany. With Allied troops rapidly moving south from Archangel, forces of British, French, Japanese and American troops at Vladivostok and operating to the westward, and a British force at Baku, the Czecho-Slovaks have taken new heart in their heroic fight against the Germans and Austrians. The Bolshevik throughout Russia are reported not only fleeing the advancing Allies but the newly aroused Russians, who have learned that the Allies are not beaten on the Western front, as the Germans and Bolshevik have been persistently preaching. PRESIDENT WRITES AUTOGRAPH APPEAL Will Aid Fourth Liberty Loan in Newspapers and on Moving Picture Screens. Washington, Aug. 16. — President Wilson has written an autograph appeal on behalf of the fourth Liberty Loan to be published in full page newspaper advertisements and shown on moving picture screens, Sept. 28, the opening day of the three weeks' loan campaign. In announcing this the Liberty Loan publicity bureau also said arrangements had been made for the publication daily throughout the loan period of display advertisements in newspapers and magazines consisting of special pleas written by prominent men, including Secretary Baker, General Pershing, Charles M. Schwab, Samuel Gompers and others. SEVENTEEN REPORTED KILLED IN ACTION Latest American Army Casualty List Contains Names of 112 Soldiers. Washington, Aug. 16.—One hundred and twelve casualties were announced by the War department in the last list, including 17 killed in action and 95 severely wounded. Northwest names appear as follows: Private Louis Foreman, Fried, N. D., killed in action; Corporal John M. Horner, Wahpeton, N. D.; A. L. J. Grande, Halstad, Minn., died of wounds; Wagoner Frank N. Clements, Minneapolis, severely wounded. MRS. CHARLES F. LEE Mrs, Charles F. Lee, wife of Brigadier General Lee, head of the British aviation section in the United States, has been in Washington with her husband for several weeks. STEADY STREAM OF SOLDIERS GOING TO FRANCE. Furnishing of Ships by British Government is Great Aid at Present Time. Washington, Aug. 16.—Rapid shipment of troops now going on will continue under the programs of the War department and the draft, Secretary Baker said. Even if the new draft law cannot be put into operation before October there need be no diminution of the flow of the men to Europe, as there are 1,500,000 in training in the United States, which is 500,000 more than the regular plans would make necessary, Mr. Baker added. With this margin to draw on, the secretary said, there would be no serious shortage of man power. Troop movements to Europe are being kept at top speed, largely through the help of the British government in providing shipping, the secretary said. For this no compensation has been given to Great Britain and such a question was not even considered during the negotiations that made the pooling of ships necessary. There are now approximately 2,600,000 American soldiers in this country and overseas, Mr. Baker added. NOTED GERMAN EDITOR ATTACKS WAR LORDS Maximilian Harden Says Americans and British Are Fighting for Their Ideals. Washington, Aug. 16.—Another violent attack on Prussian policy with warning of the storm brewing in Russia and a frank tribute to British and American soldiers fighting for their ideals has just been published in the Zukunft by Maximilian Hardn, the free spoken German editor. Harden declared the soul of modern Germany is dominated by the idea of bondage, summed up in "down on your knees." "Do you think that the British and Americans are such as the conservative papers represent them?" he asks. "They have proved themselves to be very different on the Yser, at Arras and at Dormans. They have shed the best of their blood, spent hundreds of thousands without dreams of conquest simply for their ideals. Does this in any way correspond to the picture that you have drawn of them?" CZECHO-SLOVAKS ARE IN TIGHT POSITION Siberian Force Is Poorly Armed and Deficient in Every Sort of Equipment. London, Aug. 16.—The Czecho-Slovak in Siberia are in a dangerous position and are liable to be cut off altogether, says the correspondent of the Times at Vladivostok. Only a fraction of those between the Volga and Lake Baikal are armed and all are deficient in every sort of equipment. They are cut off from the Far East and it is impossible to learn what is happening to them. Foe Bomb Plotter Caught. Washington, Aug. 16.—Robert Fay, notorious German bomb plotter, has been arrested in Spain, the State department announced. Fay escaped from the Atlanta penitentiary about a year ago. He is being brought back, the State department said, without extradition. ENEMY CONVERTS MERCHANT DIVERS ENEMY CONVERTS MERCHANT DIVERS GERMANS USING SUBMARINES ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR CARGO CARRIERS. ARE OPERATING IN ATLANTIC Craft Are of Low Speed, With Great Cruising Radius, Carrying Large Crewe, Guns and Mine Laying Equipment. Washington, Aug. 16.—German submarines carrying out raids in American waters are of the cruiser type, very probably converted merchantmen like the Deutschland, which made two peaceful trips to the United States before this country entered the war. The submarines are low speed craft with great cruising radius, carrying large crews, 5.9 inch guns and mine laying equipment as well as torpedoes. These conclusions have been drawn by naval officers from detailed reports gathered since the U-boats first appeared off the Atlantic coast last May. The largest of them, probably, is not more than 300 feet long and officers are satisfied they are not the super-submarines which frequent reports of late have said Germany was building. The Germans are believed to have turned out six merchant submarines and two of them, the Deutschland and Bremen, are known to have been captured before this country declared war. At least one and possibly two of these vessels are believed to have been destroyed, but the others unquestionably have been converted into fighting ships. Their great beam enables them to mount much larger guns than the ordinary U-boat and this accounts for the fact that they have outraned nearly all of the armed merchantmen when they dared to attack. Barrett Crew Landed. Cape May, N. J., Aug. 16.—Captain William Merritt and crew of 10 men of the American schooner Dorothy Barrett, sunk off Cape May by a German submarine, were landed here, having been picked up by a patrol vessel while rowing ashore. The schooner was sent down about 20 miles off the coast, Captain Merritt said. "The last we saw of our vessel it was in flames and fast sinking, but whether the Germans had boarded and fired it, or the ship had taken fire from the shell, I do not know." Captain Merritt said. The schooner, according to Captain Merritt, was valued at about $150,000. NEW MANPOWER BILL APPEARS IN SENATE American War Program Calls for 3,000,000 Men in France by June 30 Next. Washington, Aug. 16.—Plans for beginning consideration in the senate next Monday of the new manpower bill extending the draft ages, were blocked by failure of a quorum to appear when Chairman G. E. Chamberlain, of the military committee, submitted the measure with a favorable report. The senate adjourned until Monday and the plan is now to begin consideration of the bill next Thursday if possible. Senator Chamberlain still hopes to pass the measure by Saturday of next week. In reporting the bill, Chairman Chamberlain disclosed to the senate that General P. C. March had told the military committee it was up to the United States to put enough men in France to win the war on the west front and had expressed the belief that 4,000,000 Americans under one commander could go through the German lines whenever they pleased. The report also revealed that the new American-war program calls for 60 divisions or something over 3,000,000 men in France by June 30 next year. CANADA'S WHEAT CROP 7,742,850 BU. SHORT Ottawa, Aug. 16.—Canada's wheat crop this year is 223,800,000 bushels, or 7,742,850 bushels less than last year's crop, according to a report of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, compiled from returns of correspondents. Oats are expected to yield 416,000,000 bushels, an increase of 13,000,000 over last year. Girl Beaten to Death New York, Aug. 16.—The body of a girl of about 16, wrapped in heavy brown paper, was found in a vacant lot in West New York, N. J. The girl apparently had been beaten to death four or five days ago. The police believe the crime was committed some distance from the place where the body was found. NO.23. RELATIONS BADLY STRAINED GERMANY AND TURKEY NEARING BREAKING POINT. Teutons Protest Against Anonymous Posters, Declaring Them Enemies of Turks. London, Aug. 16.—Differences between the Germans and the Turks are becoming more frequent and bitter, according to information from Constantinople. During a quarrel with Talaat Pasha recently, the German ambassador is reported to have threatened to bombard the city. Advices from Constantinople say leaflets dropped by British aviators are read by the population with sympathetic interest. Posters recently found on the walls of mosques and government buildings declaring the Germans are the real enemies of Turkey called forth a strong protest from the German ambassador and a demand for an inquiry. Talaat replied it was impossible to discover the authors. The ambassador then announced German military police would take charge of the inquiry. On the following day he informed the grand vizier the majority of the offenders were in government service and that therefore punishment should be exceptionally severe. Talaat retorted that he would institute his own investigation. Violent discussion followed and the German ambassador went so far as to threaten the grand vizier with bombardment of Constantinople from the battle cruiser Goeben. FUEL SHORTAGE MAY HAMPER INDUSTRIES Washington, Aug. 16.—Shortage of fuel which threatens to hamper output of vital war industries is causing concern to officials of the industries board and the fuel administration. Conferences are in progress to devise means to stimulate output. It is proposed that new mines be opened in territory close to plants suffering for coal. Greek Churches to Be Organized. New York, Aug. 16.—To arrange for the ecclesiastical organization of the Greek Orthodox church in America, Archbishop Meletios Metaxakis, metropolitan of Athens and president of the holy synod of the Greek church, is on his way to this country. More than 40,000 Greeks and 150 Greek churches are scattered throughout this country without organic unity. BASEBALL SCORES. American League. New York, 3; Cleveland, 2. St. Louis, 7; Philadelphia, 2.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 18 SOME ACTIVITIES OF THE PRIMI- TIVE CHURCH. e EmSON TEXT—Acte 2:01; 422-95; 6 “GoLDEN TEXT—Enter into his gates with thankegiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him and Bless his name.—Psalms 100:4. DEVOTIONAL READING—Psalms 12%: M{pprsioNAL MATERIAL—Marle 11:15- Mi; Acts 10:38: 1 Corinthians 8:9; 12:4-29; ‘Ephesians 4:1-16. 1. The Church Worshiping (Acts2: 2-47). 'As the result of Peter’s preaching at Pentecost about three thousand per sons confessed Christ in baptism, That their conversion was genuine 18 evi- denced by what they did: 1. “Continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine” (v. 42). Continuance and steadfastness are infallible proofs of the genuineness of one’s conversion, ‘They not only were steadfast, but they kept themselves in the school of Christ—came regularly to the meetings to be instructed by the apostics, Christians cannot grow uD- less they feed upon God’s word. Trashy novels and story papers will not make Christians grow. The “sincere milk of the word” is essential to growth (I Peter 2:2). 2. Kept themselves in the fellow- ship of the apostles (v. 42). ‘This doubtless means that they at- tached themselves to the church and sought the friendship of Christian peo- ple. Christian growth is helped by 28- sociation with Christian people, not by withdrawal. One who expects sanctl fication in seclusion will be doomed to disappointments 8 They went regularly to the com- munton table (v. 42). . In the “breaking of bread” they sym- bolically fed upon Christ. True wor shipers will not neglect this means of grace. 4, They went regularly to the pray- er meeting (v. 42). Prayer is the very breath of soul growth. It is as necessary to spiritual Ife as breathing is to physical life. The result of such life was: (1) Wholesome fear (v. 43). (2) ‘A powerful ministry (v. 43). Many wonders and signs were done by the apostles, (3) Mutual ministry (vv. 44 45). ‘Those who give themselves to Christ are large-hearted and generous, giving of thelr substance to help the poor and needy. (4) A constant wor- ship (v. 46). (5) Unity and gladness (v. 48). (6) Gracious infnence among the people (v. 47). (7) A perpetual growth (v. 47). Where such genuine- ness is manifest there will be growth. ‘The Lord added to the church dally— there was a continuous revival. 1, The Church Witnessing (Acts 4: 81-85). Note the characteristics of a wit nessing church: 1. A praying church (v. 81). For every want and every need they betook themselves to God in prayer. 2. A spirit-Alled church (v. 81). ‘When they prayed the place was shaken whereln they were gathered to- gether. They were all filled with the holy spirit. ‘The spirit is given in an- swer to prayer (Luke 11:13). 8. A testifying church (v, 31). ‘The ministers had boldness in test!- mony. 4, A united church (v, 82). ‘They were of one heart and one soul, ‘united in the ene body to the one head by the holy spirit. 5. A charitable and generous church (y. 92). ‘ ‘They held nothing back from those who had need. 6 Its membership possessed un- blemished characters; great grace was upon them all. HI, The Church Overcoming Diff culties (Acts 6:1-4). Out of the beautifal fellowship of this early church grew a peculiar dif- ficalty. Among the Grecian Jews there came a feeling that partiality had’been shown in the distribution of fands. The difficulty was recognized at once and properly dealt with. ‘The apostles re- fused to allow this to divert their min- istry, so they proceeded with the ini- tial organization in the church, the ap- ‘pointment of deacons. We have here set forth the qualifications of those who are to look after the business end of the church. 1. Good report (y. 3). It is highly important that even the business affairs of the church should be in the hands of honest men. The church cannot afford to appoint men of doubtful reputation to do such work. 2. Full of the holy spirit (v. 8). {The ‘temporalities of the church should only be entrusted to spirit-fillea men. 8. Full of wisdom (v.38). . ‘The highest wisdom 1s required in the handling of the business side of church life, and this should be done by men other than ministers. Ministers should give themselves to prayer and preaching. Bible and Education, Men cannot be well educated with- out the Bible. It ought, therefore, to hold the chief place of learning throughout Christendom; and I do not eked eae ee rendered to this republic than th —— acer of this desirable result, Afghanistan-A Buffer State THE MOUNTAIN Fortified Pass Near Afghanistan Border. AFGHANISTAN is a buffer state and a prize Germany would like to control. For it is a broad door to India. The entente-versus-Teuton contest for its adherence is a gamble as delicate as the spin of a wheel. This contest may turn on a single throw of the dice. It is not a question of influencing public sentiment through a thousand and one approaches, any one of which may be abandoned if proved a mistake without jeopardizing the other thousand, writes Basantun Koomar Roy in Asia. The stakes are laid on the personality of one individual—the Amir of Afghanistan. He is astute, ambitious, conscious of the balance of power he holds, and not unlearned in the art of watching the turn of world events. If this is soil for intrigue and influence, the pretty gamble between the Briton and the German, which at one period of the war was at high tension, can hardly be considered finally settled, though the British claim that the game is much in their favor at the present time. Next to Turkey, Afghanistan is the strongest country in the Mohammedan world. It is, like Switzerland, a mountain fastness, and this has given it its independence as a buffer state. Its people are fierce fighters, a quality the British Raj had occasion to test in the two Afghan wars of 1840-41 and 1878-79. The dangerous nature of the country's topography was also discovered at this time. Afghanistan has an area of 250,000 square miles, inside which both Germany and Bulgaria could easily be placed. The population is 6,000,000, or as large as that of Holland. The Aimaks, Ghilzals, Hazars, Kafirs, Pathans, Toljiks and the Uzbegs are the principal races of the population. The great majority of the Afghans are Mohammedans of the Sunni sect, but there is no such bitter animosity between the Shias and the Sunnis as between these sects in India. The Afghan chronicles call the people BenIsrail, and the people claim descent from Saul, whom they call Talmut. Nine years after the proclamation of the mission of Mohammed, the Afghans sent a deputation under Kais to Medina. The members of the deputation were converted to Mohammedanism. On their return home, the Afghans embraced the new faith, and even today high-caste Afghans feel proud to claim descent from Kais. Aghan Has Fine Characteristics. The Afghan is of a remarkable race. With long beard and flowing hair, he walks with majestic step. He is kind, hospitable, grateful. He will do anything for a benefactor, but is correspondingly severe with the treacherous, or avowed enemies. He is handsome, hard-working, and capable of enduring long privations. He has the desperse fearlessness of the Gurkah—a terrible fighter—and the strong, sinewy and stalwart physique of the Silkh. He is a born horseman, an excellent shot, and uncompromisingly fatalistic. He is exceedingly patriotic, and guards the freedom and the honor of his country as jealously as he guards the honor of his wife or wives, as the case may be. His fearlessness, fatalism, physical strength and patriotic fervor make him a splendid soldier. Agriculture is the main occupation of the people. They have a remarkable system of irrigation, and every acre of fertile land is under cultivation. The products of the farms include wheat, barley, rice, lentils, tobacco, millet, sugar cane, lumber, cotton, grapes, castor-oil seeds, berries. Industry is undeveloped, yet the country is rich in mineral resources, particularly iron and coal; gold, silver, copper and lead; antimony, sulphur. The industries include the making of carpets, felts, silks and articles from goats' and camels' hair. Afghanistan imports every year from India a total of $2,721,000 worth of goods; her imports from Bokhara alone reach to $2,000,000. Exports to India amount to $4,035,000. It Is a Paternal Monarchy. The government of Afghanistan is an absolute, but a paternal, monarchy. The Amir is the executive and the judicial head of the state. He has a council which is composed of Mohammedan priests, noblemen and the representatives of the people. This council is divided into an upper and lower house. He has cabinet ministers, but none is permitted to give any advice unless asked for it. But, quite unlike the custom of the kings of the West. this absolute monarch of Afghanistan is accessible even to the humblest peasant of the kingdom for redress of wrongs. The Kazis act as judges. It may be noted here that drinking liquor is absolutely forbidden in Afghanistan, and violation may be punished by death. Afghanistan has no outlet to the sea and hence no navy. But the paramount factor in its life is its state of military preparedness. Out of political and military chaos a new Afghanistan has been created by the supremely genius of Abdur Rahman, the late father of the present Amir. He fought his way to the throne of Afghanistan, and immediately after his recognition set himself to reorganizing the scattered forces of the army. He hired Turkish officers to train his officers and to drill his men. He built forts all over his kingdom, especially along its frontiers. He established arsenals, two of which, those at Kabul and Herat, were under German military experts for some time. Abdur Rahman used his subsidy money in buying guns rifles and munitions of war from the British. He built storehouses through out his kingdom for storing foodstuffs to be used only in cases of emergency. He built strategic roads—though there is not a single mile of railroad in Afghanistan—over some of the almost impassable parts of his mountain kingdom. ANT NURSES OF BUTTERFLIES Peculiar Relationship Which Natural Ists Have Observed Between Creatures Which are Enemies. Ants and butterflies are not ordinarily on friendly terms, for ants have a ruthless custom of seizing and devouring their winged acquaintances. There is, however, one species of butterfly the larvae of which are protected by the large black ants found in Indian gardens. The secret of this care lies in the fact that the larvae give out a sweet liquid of which the ants are very fond, and which they obtain by gently stroking the little creatures with their antennae. At the foot of a bush on which the larvae feed, the ants construct a temporary nest and are then ready to act as attentive nurses. About the middle of June the ants are busy running about on this bush in search of the larvae, and driving them downward toward their own nest. When the prisoners reach their places, they at once fall into pupae. During this period, if the loose earth at the foot of the bush be scraped away, hundreds of larvae and pupae may be seen arranged in a broad even band about its trunk. In about a week the butterfly is ready to come forth and is tenderly assisted to leave its shell. If it is strong and healthy, it is allowed to spread its wings and fly away, but should it prove delicate the ants exercise the utmost care in assisting it to the tree, and holding it there in safety. It is a curious sight to watch these fragile creatures going about in perfect confidence among the fierce ants, which have, however, by no means adopted the profession of nursing for the love of it, for when the larvae of another species are thrown among them they immediately set upon them and tear them in pieces. Paradise Worth Attaining. According to the Koran the soil of paradise is composed of musk and saffron, sprinkled with pearls and hyacinths. The walls of the mansions are of gold and silver; the fruits are of a flavor and delicacy unknown to mortals. Numerous rivers flow through the paradise. Some are of wine, others of milk, honey and water. The pebbles are rubles and emeralds; the banks of musk, camphor and saffron. The meanest inhabitant of the Mohammedan paradise will have 80,000 servants and 72 wives. Wine, though forbidden on earth, will there be freely allowed and will not inebrate. Reminiscence. "Do you remember," said Farmer Corntossel, "how you used to scold Josh for not comin' home to his mess is regular?" "Yes," replied his wife, "Josh is havin' his own way. Since he wont across, all we kni do is to keep the old farm busy and send his meals over to him." Sugar Shortage BY BERTHA CURRIE PORTER (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) "I don't see what you said we'd give them tea for, when you know we haven't any sugar!" "What difference does that make? Some of our best families don't have sugar nowadays." "Well, I'll bet the Clarkson girls are rolling in sugar!" "If they are, all we need to do is to shake them over the cups, and there you are!" "You needn't joke about it, Anne. I have some pride if you haven't, and I'm not going to have those rich Clark-sons coming here and thinking we're not as well able to have things as they are, even if they do carry fifteen dollar knitting bags, all covered over with pin-cushion fruit, and tassels." "I don't know how you're going to get it. I've telephoned to every store I can think of and they all say the same thing—'no sugar.'" "Telephoning and asking face to face are two different things. I'll run out and see what I can do." "Josephine Bruce, not in this bad weather?" But Josephine had vanished into the bedroom of the little flat. It was the worst day of that "neverremembered-such-a" winter. There had been a heavy snow fall, a thaw and then a sudden freeze, with thick, black ice over everything. And in the night the weather had moderated and rain had fallen in torrents on the ice. This morning it was still raining, with a heavy wind. It was a day when sensible folk wore creepers over their rubbers, and other people lost their pride in the good old Biblical way. Josephine appeared, clad in a very becoming brown raincoat and little tan hat. She wore brown boots and ridiculous low rubbers, and carried a brown umbrella. Sister Anne stood at her tower window and watched Josephine slip down the hill, using her folded umbrella as a staff. Anne began to chop nutmeats for sandwiches, wondering what her erratic sister might be doing. The reality was this: In the nearest store, Anne marched bravely up to the counter. "Two pounds of sugar, please," she said, with her sweetest smile. "No sugar in the store," growled the harrassed clerk for the one hundred and thirty-seventh time that day. "There's no sugar in the store," the next grocer told her, "and more than that, there's no sugar up to my own house, and I'm in the grocery business. What was yours, madam?" to a sleek-haired Italian woman in a red shawl. I Josephine went out on more ice. Josephine were out to the more rec. For an hour she slipped and slid from one store to another, and heard the same story in fifty-seven varieties. Josephine paused on a corner to collect her forces and decide where to attack next. This particular corner was at the foot of a hill—this city was built on more than seven hills—and the sidewalk sloped at seven an unpleasant angle; also the building on that lot projected in such a way that pedestrians coming down the side street were completely hidden from those on the main thoroughfare. Josephine had seen so many people fall that day that she now mechanically watched them all. Perhaps that was why she noticed the gray raincoat behind the big market basket. "New style coat," she thought, and looked again at the basket. She gasped! Not for months had she seen a sight like that. She looked again. It was absolutely true. In that basket, camouflaged by a flapping paper covering, but with tell-tale little yellow sharp corners sticking out, were six two-pound cartons of sugar! And the food commissioner had ruled that no dealer should sell more than ten pounds to any one person. And she, Josephine Bruce, had not one single grain! She looked above the basket to see who this plutocrat might be, and met a pair of serious blue eyes staring straight into her brown ones. She had only time to realize that this lawbreaker was young and very good-looking when his feet appeared where had been his face—he bounced up and down, landing on the woman who had slid down the side street, and vanished, in the midst of arms and legs and bodies that came faster and faster until they piled up in a slipping, slopping snarl of humanity. And high in the air, flying merrily toward the blue sky before descending to the soaking sidewalk, went the six packages of sugar. Josephine dodged. She escaped the pedestrians because they all slid into the gutter, but a couple of pounds of sugar landed on her stylish little tan hat and bounced down into her yawning knitting bag. Josephine had no recollection of opening her bag, but she knew exactly when she closed it. And then, with the most outrageous politeness, she stooped and picked up two of the other packages. She handed them to the young man in the gray raincoat, crawling out from the chaos, "Your sugar, sir," she said, smiling, and went on her way, entirely unrepentant. Perhaps the precious ballast in her bag preserved her equilibrium. She hurried toward home, and after dinner Josephine and Anne awaited the Clarkson girls. In the little kitchenette a teapot waited, with a fat little red jug of cream and a plate of nut and cheese sandwiches. And four cheerful little red Chinese cups and saucers. And a sugar bowl that didn't match, but whose glass sides displayed proudly its white and glistening contents. "The walking isn't a bit better," observed Josephine, looking out the window. "I suppose they will come in the machine. I bet the chauffeur has a hard time getting up this hill." But no struggling automobile preceded the ring at the bell. The Clarkson girls called up from the door. "Just a minute till we take off our creepers. We don't want to scar your stairs—take your's off, Jim—hurry." There was a deep tone among the volces in the lower hall. Anne peeped over the railing. "Jo," she whispered, "hustle out another cup. They've brought a man." "May Jim come to the party, too?" said Norah Clarkson. "He held us up all the way over, and I know he is exhausted." "Certainly," replied Anne, shaking hands with big, good-looking blueyed James Clarkson. "but I'm afraid it will be rather stupid for him, because we are going to knit." "Perhaps I could learn—you might start me on a nine-inch square, isn't that what they call them?" "Maybe Josephine will teach you. She's the instructor," said Anne, as Josephine came in from the diningroom. "My sister, Mr. Clarkson." "How do you do?" bowed Mr. Clarkson, gravely unaware of Josephine's hesitant hand. "Brother is daffy over everything concerning the war," explained Gladys, "I suppose that makes you wonder why he isn't in uniform. He's doing all sorts of especially important government work. This morning he had to get after some grocers who weren't living up to the regulations of the food commissioner—sugar shortage, you know. Don't mind if I tell, do you, Jim?" "No, you can't have too many warnings." Josephine was frantically casting on stitches. But it was really a very pleasant afternoon, Anne thought. Mr. Clarkson held four skeins of yarn for her to wind, and didn't mind at all when she began at the wrong end of one and got it all snarled up. At last came tea—and the transparent sugar-bowl! "Help yourself to sugar," urged Anne. "Jo got two pounds this morning. Wasn't it lucky?" "Very," solemnly agreed the aide of the food commissioner. "Anyone who ventured out on this treacherous walking deserved to pick up some sugar. It is exceedingly hard to find just now." Norah pulled Josephine aside while the others were saying good-by. "I hope you don't care because we brought Jim," she whispered. "He insisted on coming when he found out it was you. He's been asking about you ever since he brought those bundles to the Red Cross rooms. He's all right, Jim is, even if he is my brother!" And she gave Josephine a hurried little kiss. Next day a package arrived for Miss Josephine Bruce. It bore the card of Mr. James Clarkson, and it was a five-pound box of perfectly good granulated sugar! Josephine was furious, "I don't see anything to be cross about," remonstrated Anne. "That's a valuable present in these times." "I won't have him buying me sugar," stormed Josephine. But he did, just the same, and later he bought her flour and grapefruit and coal and summer and winter coats—for years and years and years—but not until a long time after the wedding did Anne learn the real reason why her brother-in-law's favorite name for his wife was—"Sweetness." Canned Ostrich Eggs Signs reading "Newly canned ostrich eggs for sale" may soon meet the eyes of the housewife looking into the windows of grocery stores in London. This statement is based on the fact that ostrich eggs are being packed experimentally in South America for shipment to England in liquid form. One ostrich egg is equal to about two dozen hen's eggs. If the canning of these eggs proves successful, it will mean the salvation of the ostrich-growing industry, which has suffered considerably as a result of the war. It will take a large family to consume one breakfast egg—Popular Science Monthly. Snake's Reputation Undeserved. The beginning of all religious ceremonial is magic. Thus Aaron with his rod. He turns it into a snake. Most surprising, but not wholly novel. "Old stuff!" say the priests of Pharaoh. "Watch us!" They, in like manner, transform sticks into serpents. But Aaron's snake gobbles up the snakes of Pharaoh's clergy, and that settles the argument. The snake is nearly, if not quite, the least intelligent of animals. To speak of the "wisdom of the serpent" is a joke. Yet, through all the ages this stupid and almost mindless reptile has been credited with a sagacity approaching the supernatural. New York "Draft Riots." The "draft riots" occurred in New York city during the Civil war. In July, 1863, pursuant to orders by the national government, a general draft was begun to re-enforce the army. At the commencement of proceedings a great riot broke out in New York city, and for three or four days raged uncontrolled. Buildings were burned, stores and houses were looted, colored persons were killed on sight and anarchy prevailed until troops arrived and restored order. A thousand persons were killed and injured. A 33 It is something of a shock to realize that it is already time to look about and choose a heavy coat as part of the college girl's school outfit. But manufacturers have seen to it that the looking about shall not be in vain. In view of the scarcity of wool materials it is a happy circumstance that the new coats are not radically different from those of last year, for it is the part of patriotism to make last year's coats do service for this year if possible. It can't be done many times—girls have a way of adding several inches to their height or other dimensions in the course of a year. Each outgrown coat ought to be passed along to someone who can wear it. The outstanding characteristics of the new coats are sturdiness and good style. The materials are in heavy wool mixtures, duotones, English tweeds, cheviots and other heavy contours. Many coats have only their bodies lined, the thickness of the material making more lining unnecessary. Colors are quiet, including lovely shades in taupe, bison, French blue, dark Forerunners o In July the woman who must provide herself with new headwear turns her back upon summer materials—straws and summer flowers—and asks for something new. It seems she likes to anticipate and foreshadow the season ahead in her millinery. This and the knowledge that summer is waning and another summer will bring its own new millinery allurements, makes her buy hats for fall even in the dogdays, as she crowns her head with straw in January or February—with the snow flying. The shops and stores are now full of fabric hats for the demi-season, between summer and early winter, and include many hats for fall that will outlast that season and do service in the winter as well. There has been a growing appreciation of beautiful lines that has resulted in the most becoming shapes we have ever had. Crowns are usually soft and often draped. These models passed the old acid test of good millinery—that is "the woman must look better in her hat than without it"—or it is not a successful hat. Much effective, but not intricate, needle work appears in new millinery—tinsel thread, chenille, heavy embroidery silk and yarns of all sorts. Millinery workrooms feel the obligation to save time and materials as a war measure, therefore work on hats must not be lavish, but what there is of it must be beautifully done. The group of three lovely hats for fail shown above tells much more plainly than words can the first of the story about the new season's styles. At the left a soft round hat is an example of clever use of cut out felt green satin Long stitches out- grown and gray. Buttons are large and match the cloth. Collars are ample and button up about the throat in the coziest manner possible, allowing the throat and chin to snuggle into them. They extend up at the back over the neck and may be worn open—the largest ones forming graceful small capes becoming to slim girls. Imported English tweeds have the advantage of the best of cloths and the smartest of styles, for coats made of this unexcelled material are designed and made in this country. The raglan sleeve seems to belong, to them and buttons carry out the mixture of gray and dark tones in the fabric. Many of the new models have large patch pockets cut in various shapes and most of them have narrow belt of the same material as the cont. Buttonholes are usually bound. In length the coats almost cover the dress, reaching to within two inches or so of the bottom of the skirt. Altogether the new coats for misses are a joy; full of style and comfort and a great credit to American designers, who excel in all tailored garments. Fall Millinery line the cut out and either chenille or silk could make them. There is a frivolous but fascinating pompon at the front which, proclaims it a hat for the young woman. Just below it is a hat for late summer and early fall of navy blue and white taffeta. Disks and rings of white felt are joined by stitches of yarn in a band for crown and brim. At the front there are two ornaments covered by being wound with folds of silk. Daintiness and elegance pronounce this a model that would triumph anywhere—among women of fine taste. At the right a rich looking and picturesque model is prophetic of winter made of some novelty in fabrics that outrivals velvet. It has facing of satin, placed with such exquisite finish in the workmanship that it makes the hat a novelty of the highest class. And the trimming is a simulated quill made of the same fabrics as those in the hat—another example of what the millinery artist can do by combining materials and ideas. Julia Bottomly Blouse Fashions. It is evident that all blouses that bear the stamp of fashion will extend half-way between the waist and knees. These blouses are often sleeveless when worn under coats. They are built of colored chiffon that does not match the gown, or of linen, albatross, silk and woolen jersey and corded silks. Every effort is being made to put out of fashion the blouse that ends at the waist line and cuts off the figure. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY BY CHARLES SUMNER SMITH, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Now is the most important time for Negroes to stand by the old party of Lincoln and Grant. Keep Minnesota a Republican State. HOME GUARD FRICICTION. The Home Guard as an organization is a valuable asset to our state's military forces and a credit to our race. We regret to say, that like the organizations of the white companies, the usual friction has developed. There is among the Negroes a desire of some to outrank their superiors, and the proper discipline has not been maintained. Instead of supporting each other to make the entire,outfit an efficient organization, there is a spirit among a few to be insubordinate to such an extent that progress is hindered. Efforts are being made to make it unpleasant for those who have the responsibilities of organization in order that the agitators might succeed in command. Whether this is pro-German propaganda, or a natural desire on the part of those to climb over the corpses of their fellows to secure official prominence, is a question which will be answered none too soon. A spirit of harmony and tolerance should prevail. The time given to criticism and gossip could be better used for instruction, so badly needed. The Home Guard is a permanent organization, but some men and officers have unwillingly separated themselves from it. it is time for Negroes to learn that discipline in all military branches at this time, whether state or federal, is compulsory and violations are punishable. Restricting the progress of any organization to aid the nation in this war, is a federal crime. Although some are innocent of such intent, they are ignorant tools of the underlying forces at home, for which Home Guards are authorized to destroy in order that all citizens shall be protected. COLORED NURSES TO BE USED IN ARMY CAMPS Orders Issued by War Department Makes Opening for Hundreds at Six Base Hospitals in This Country—Many May Go Overseas. Washington, D. C., July 22, 1918.—The War Department authorizes the following statement from Emmet J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War: "Orders were issued today by the War Department to the office of the Surgeon General, which will enable colored nurses who have been registered by the American Red Cross Society, to render service for their own race in the Army. Colored nurses will be assigned to the base hospitals now established at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas; Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois; Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, and Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J. At these camps a total of about 38,000 colored troops are stationed. General Pershing has been asked by cable whether the services of colored nurses can be utilized to advantage among the American The military authorities intend to push the enlist or work campaign among the Negroes. There are many soldiers who have no lawful means of support. They will be drafted into the industrial army. Get work, gentlemen of leisure, even if as a side line. HALE, THE HUN, is very busy with his drop-letter system submarine service, asking for the investigation of somebody. The annual encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars was held in this city this week, and the sessions were in every way inspiring to all who attended. The parades, entertainments and publicceptions showed the patriotic spirit of our citizens. The visiting delegates were appreciative of the hospitality shown them, and loud in their praises of the beauty and progress of the Northwest. Gov. Burnquist and other prominent speakers addressed the veterans. Now that our country is engaged in another foreign war, the membership of the organization is incomprehensible, and millions of members may be added to it within a few years. There was a grand reunion, and although only two Negroes took part in the parades and program (Comrade Henderson of 24th U. S. Vol. Inf., and Editor Chas. Sumner Smith), there was an invitation extended them by Commander Allen and Executive Secretary Jack J. Shauer, of Patterson Post, to join the order. The latter was elected Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief at this session. Smith Did Not Postit. The statement in the Minneapolis Journal that "Favorable action was taken on the petition of Chas. S. Smith, Minneapolis, representing the Negro veterans, to create a subsidiary post in Minneapolis for Negro Veterans of Foreign Wars," was incorrectly reported. Editor Smith, one of the speakers at the West Hotel smoker, approved of the post, which had been suggested by some Negro veteran and had been talked of by the committee. He said that he would assist in the organization, but could not take active part officially. As captain of a company of Negro Home Guards and an advocate for Negro officers' training camps and other racial units to show their united service and strength, he favored the suggestion for a Negro post. However, there is no provision denying a Negro the right to membership in any post. The Robt. E. Bell Post, G. A. R., and Co. L of the 6th Mass. Inf., now in the National Army, and the fighting Negro units of today are examples of racial organization. They stand out as models of the merits of Negro soldiers, while if indiscriminately recruited, our racial identity and honor would be a matter of conjecture rather than a proven fact. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. Miss Hallie Q. Brown spoke at St. Peter's A. M. E. church on Sunday night. Madame Jean Hodgers sang two beautiful solos. Miss Brown is a logical speaker and her lecture was heartily received. Editor Smith arranged for her appearance, and although short notice was given, a full house greeted her. Her theme was "The Value of Power" and she showed the wonderful opportunities and privileges given all people of the present age. Miss Brown opened the Sub-Annual Conference, held this week at St. Peter's church. She represented Bishop Coppin, who could not appear. Despite her arduous duties at Wilberforce University, she is completing her summer tour, en route from Denver, where she attention the National Convention of Colored Women's Clubs. She made the most inspiring address at the exercises for the drafted Negroes in St. Paul on Aug. 1. Miss Brown is one of our oldest elocutionists and among the front rank of public speakers. Having visited abroad, she is familiar with foreign customs. Her prophecies of the Negro's condition after the war are based on an economic analysis, founded on Biblical record and religious faith. To those who heard her, she revealed a glorious future for all humanity, as a result of this war. We have never known two injustices to make anything right. The Saturday News has prospered by being as just to the white man as it has ever been to the Negro. We have never gone off half-cooked upon any proposition. Whenever we grope, we are in search of the truth. We want to be right and avoid as nearly as possible being wrong. We are not for the Negro right or wrong. We want him to be right. We complain because a majority of white people will always side with a white man when a question arises between him and one of our color; still certain colored newspapers, without making any investigation whatsoever as to the evidence, would have the entire Negro race do identically what they condemn the white people for doing. Because the white people do wrong is no reason why the Negroes should do wrong. The best preparedness to receive justice is to be just yourself. —Hopkinsville (Ky.) Nows. We are living in an age and an epoch which is characterized by a growing and insistent demand for justice and democracy. The United States is sending men, money and militations to the battle fields of Europe as its demand for justice, freedom and equality of opportunity for all peoples, and it would be well for the Americans at this time to remember that here in our own country for the past fifty years abuse the abolition of slavery, is a race loyal, patriotic people who are not enjoying at the hands of this government here at home the principles of that democracy for which we are fighting to make the world safe, and in which fight God helping us, we will be victorious. W. T. FRANCIS Let us not draw the color line. Reciprocity between the races will be the salvation of the Negro. ADVERTISE IN THE STAR THE TWIN CITY STAR, MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. REVISED TEN COMMANDMENTS 1. Into him who removeth a guard shall rest be given from his labors. 2. If thou thinkest "Safety First," thou thinketh well, for unto thee is given the power to think properly. 3.

To him that looketh to the future and thinketh "Safety First," all shall be given—eyes to see, hands to labor, ears to hear, limbs to speed him on his way—health to perform his daily tasks. 6. Of him that endangereth his fellow workmen knowingly an example shall be made—he shall be removed from the honor roll, and the pay roll. 7. Unto thee is given sight. Close not the windows of thy soul, nor lose the beauties of nature by falling to wear goggles. 9. By-paths that wander off into No Man's Land shalt thou avoid, but follow the straight path of "Safety First" to success. 10. Allow thy Safety Light to shine and hide it not beneath thy cloak—one single ray may pierce the gloom, changing the entire world for thy fellow men.—Safety Engineering. FLASHLIGHTS About all some men have succeeded in doing in this world is to die rich. Love is a divine attribute, but somehow or other we can't understand how any decent man can do anything but hate the kaiser. The reason some men seem to get more fun out of this life than others is because they don't try to hang onto every nickel they get. A man may be a born leader, but it is also true that that fact is never discovered until he has fully demonstrated his ability to be a good fellow. We can't understand, when this war is over, how any man is going to be able to brag to the one-armed or one-legged American soldier about the money he has saved. One of the first discoveries a bride makes about her husband is that he can't find anything that she has put away in a bureau drawer even when it is right under his nose. AROUND THE WORLD Paris is to have underground theaters. Pennsylvania restricts carrying pistols. Mexican soldiers are eating burro meat. London prohibits confetti to save paper. Norway will eat whale fat during the war. Guatemala earthquake refugees are swarming into Mexico destitute. New Zealand's tunnel under South Island, five miles long, is nearing completion. ABOUT PERSONS Mrs. J. C. Barry of Brockton, Mass. has 22 kinsmen in American war forces. Mrs. Elmer Enger, a Miller, S. D. Indian squaw, has contributed a son to the army. John Burroughs, aged naturalist, says his motto is: "Keep cheerful and mind your own business." Representative T. D. Schall of Minneapolis, says: "There are no questions that can be settled until the war is over." BY THE OFFICE SAGE Sometimes a plain cook is quite pretty. A wise man never considers a woman's age. The difference between see and saw is intense. Dignity may stoop to conquer, but it never grovels in the dust. A gratulous falsehood is probably one that gives itself away. Don't think that because a corporation has no soul it is on its uppers. True friends should be selected because of the good looks they haven't got. We own what we love. The world is his who has eyes to see. A man's life is felt in proportion to the character it contains. He discovers the force of the moral law who violates its principles. The principle of affinity is at the root of taste, affection, aspiration and ideal. Pure and abiding pleasures come to me not from material things but from myself. No man is demeaned by the nature of his work, but by his attitude toward it. The wild rose is tinted as delicately in a hidden vale as in the garden of the rich. The definition of wealth is taste. The soul sets up its own mansions and the lover of beauty is never poor. The Next Big Thing! IS THE JOINT The length of the war will not be measured, by the golden rule. Millionaires caught in the draft are not necessarily soldiers of fortune. Hoch the kaiser? Might just as well; we have every other country in hock. 'Sfunny, but the rolling stones are the ones who don't take a tumble to themselves. The kaiser is fighting on a large front and putting up a bigger one to his people. Just because the soldiers do a bit of hiking is no reason to believe the war will be a walkover. Can't buy sugar in the city—don't get any in the army—somebody's playing a sweet trick on the government. The citizen looks forward to the end of the war, but the soldier looks forward to the end of the month—Pay day. The Members of the Patriarchy, led by the 16th Battalion Band of 40 pieces, will parade from the Old Capitol to the Boat. What is bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh.—The Two Fishermen.

Reproof is a medicine like mercury or opium; if it be improperly administered, it will do harm instead of good.—Horace Mann. Posttiveness is a most absurd folble. If you are in the right, it lessens your triumph; if in the wrong, it adds shame to your defeat.—Sterne. No man can ever be noble who thinks meanly or contemptuously of himself, and no man can ever be noble who thinks first and only of himself.—W. H. Dollinger. Aim at perfection in everything, though in most things it is unattainable. However, they who aim at it, and persevere, will come much nearer to it than those whose laziness and despondency make them give it up as unattainable. -Chesterfield. SERVICE SNAPS PILPAY'S SAYINGS Men are used as they use others.— The King Who Became Just. We ought to do our neighbor all the good we can. If you do good, good will be done to you; but if you do evil, the same will be measured back to you again.—Dabschelin and Pilpay. SAYS THE OWL Many a man's popularity is due to what he doesn't say. It's seldom the widow's fault if she remains inconsolable. When a woman eats pickles she is in love—with the pickles. A man's wealth brings him a lot of unhappiness if he loses it. Never cry over spilled milk. There is enough water wasted as it is. ```markdown ``` A ```markdown ``` The Next IS THE MOONLIGHT TO BE GIVEN MOONLIGHT EXCURSION SAINT PAUL PATRIARCHY 114 G. U. O. O.

MORRIS DENIES HALE'S STATEMENT In the issue of June 27, 1918, of the National Advocate the following statement over the signature of Philip F. Hale is unauthorized and untrue: "If you do not believe what we say, call up Mr. William R. Morris, attorney at law, in the Metropolitan building, and he will tell you that he does not allow the Twin City Star to come into his office, and could not and would not endorse this paper under any circumstances." (Signed) WM. R. MORRIS. Phil Hale, after writing a series of libelous articles in the Advocate against-Editor Smith, has asked The Star for a retraction of certain statements recently published. The Editor of The Star will retract when wrong, but those articles about Hale are TRUE, and extremely moderate under the circumstances. Can't retract those statements. Messrs. Barney Clark and Calvin Lewis returned last week, having fallen in the physical examination for active service. Mrs. Fred S. Carver, James ave.

B. Bert M. Ellis. NEW FUNERAL DIRECTOR. Mr. Bert Ellis, a young man of our city, is to be congratulated upon his venture into the business world, as a funeral director. He is well known in the Twin Cities, having worked for several years from bellboy to head bellman at the Minneapolis Athletic Club. He has a good education and he studied embalming, having had former experience in undertaking. He denied himself many of the pleasures of life and used his spare time to perfect himself in his chosen profession. Mr. Ellis is not like most young men of our race, who have started out without financial protection. He has saved enough to purchase a modern funeral outfit, which is a credit to the business men of our race. Mr. J. E. Bostrom, of Bostrom's Undertaking Co., 3008 South 27th avenue, Minneapolis, heard of the ability of Mr. Ellis, and they became associated in business. Mr. Ellis has an office and every convenience for service in that building. Mr. Ellis is determined to bring funeral management among our people up to its highest standard. He deserves the patronage and support of those who appreciate his efforts and admire his ambition. He solicits public patronage and depends on his ability to render efficient service, and hopes to satisfy his patrons. Mr. George Gamble, who left with the draft for Camp Dodge, has been transferred to California. He is an expert mechanic and received one of the highest percentages ever made in that camp. Mr. Alex Erwin, the ex-professional ball player, was seriously cut by Boyd Francisco in an altercation on 4th Ave, and 18th St. So. on Monday night. He is in the city hospital. His many friends are interested in him and hope for his speedy recovery. Mr. Glover Shull, who was passing in his auto, came to Erwin's rescue and took him to the hospital. The account that it happened in the Porters and Waiters' Club is untrue. Erwin is very popular and well liked generally. Mr. Chas. H. Robinson, clerk in the office of Boyd Transfer Co., is on his vacation. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS SEE McDFW! for real estate. N. W.

The latter therefore removed the rada by force and found a compliant tool. Gen. Pavlo Skoropadski was declared dictator of the Ukraine, and proclamations were posted all over the walls of Kiev and other large cities in the Ukraine. General Skoropadski is a member of an ancient Ukrainian family. He commanded a Ukrainian army corps on the Russian front, and after the Russian revolution was a prominent factor in Ukrainian politics. He is forty-five years old. Skoropadski was called "hetman," which means head man or chief. It implies military dictatorship. Skoropadski was a military dictator in every sense of the word, except that he took his orders from German was staged by Germany.

He was born in Virginia in August, 1860, but was appointed to the army from Ohio.

GREAT PRODUCTION ENGINEER "If our industrial machine were made to run at top speed and maximum capacity, according to the laws of production which have already been discovered, America could win the war, pay for it out of hand, live in comparative opulence while we were doing it and be immensely richer at the close than we ever were before."

Formerly vice president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Mr. Gantt is a practical organizer and administrator of the first rank, whose advice is sought daily by some of America's biggest industrial organizations. He is now president of a new organization known as "The New Machine," not a corporation with something to sell, but a group of engineers, manufacturers and bankers who have united in a plan to reconstruct Ameri- ca's industrial system so that our national efficiency will correspond with the traditional efficiency of the individual American workingman. ca's industrial system so that our nation traditional efficiency of the individual "On the whole," said Mr. Gantt, "o machines are actually operating during and on the whole these machines, due are producing only about 50 per cent of "On the whole," said Mr. Gantt, "only about 50 per cent of our industrial machines are actually operating during the time they are expected to operate; and on the whole these machines, during the time they are being operated, are producing only about 50 per cent of what they are expected to produce."

Vladivostok, and its new flag consists HAPPENINGS in the BIG CITIES Jury Sets Fancy Price on Young Lady's Big Toe NEW YORK.—Brooklyn is offering $17,500 for big toes. 'This is believed to be the record price for such articles.' As there is no present indication the offer will be increased, it looks like a good time for those persons who range to get a tidy sum for one of your smaller ones in case you don't feel like parting with either of your grown-up toes. Before chopping any of them off, however, it might be well to submit them to the supreme court jury of 12 good men and true—or as much so as Brooklyn men can be—who decided that the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad company ought to pay $17,500 to Miss Fannie C. Clamerille for removing the big toe of her left foot without first having obtained her permission. Miss Clamerille was greatly attached to the big toe until July 31, 1917, when she alleges, she was permanently separated from it by being thrown from an open car. Immediately following the verdict those in the courtroom began speculating on how many toes they could spare and keep from tipping over. More than one man was heard to observe he would be willing to have one of his toes cut off close to his knee for half the amount. Nothing in the evidence disclosed that Miss Clamerille's big toe was other than the ordinary, matter-of-fact, well-behaved big toe. No superior intelligence was claimed for it. There was no suggestion of it having been trained for any special purpose. In short, it was just a plain, honest, more-or-less blunt big toe, a toe that minded its own business and did not interfere with other toes. The fact that such a toe could earn that much money was what started the spectators figuring out how much income tax they would have to pay on certain amounts.

Gwendolyn was led aboard the car by her trainer and submitted to being tied fast. Then the door was closed and the trainer fled, pursued by indignant trumpeting. A telephone call reached the park before he did, and he retraced his steps to see Gwendolyn standing-beside the ruins of the box car, with an "Tm-not-going-to-Wisconsin" expression on her face. She rubbed the tip end of her snout on the trainer's arm and seemed glad to see him, and her eyes roved over to where a group of rough railroad men were standing, and she gave them a haughty "Tm-a-lady" stare. There was nothing else to do, so the trainer led her back to her companions and then went over to drink his breakfast.

Nearly everyone could get along with fewer toes, especially in these parts, where the car straps are hung so low one doesn't need toes to stand on.

The plain truth of the matter is that our labor and other manufacturing costs have increased so much that we had the choice of cutting down the size of the Sight Draft cigar, using inferior tobacco, or raising the price one cent. We believed you would rather have the same old Sight Draft quality, the same old size, even if it cost you a penny more. So, from now on Sight Drafts will be six cents. Try a Sight Draft today.

Service Flag Regulations No Official Rules, But This Plan Has the Approval of the Adjutant General of the Army While there are no official rules or regulations covering the use of the service flag, because the service flag itself is unofficial, the following, prepared in the judge advocate general's department, has the approval of the adjutant general of the army: "Entitled to a Star—All officers and enlisted men of the regular army, the regular army reserve, the officers' reserve corps, and the enlisted reserve corps; of the National Guard and National Guard reserve recognized by the militia bureau of the war department; of the navy, the marine corps, and the coast guard; of the naval militia, naval reserve force, marine corps reserve, and national naval volunteers recognized by the navy department; officers only of the public health service, detailed by the secretary of the treasury for duty either with the army or with the navy; personnel of lighthouse service and of coast geodetic survey transferred by the president to the service and jurisdiction of war or navy department; members of the nurse corps, army field clerks, field clerks of the quartermaster corps, civilian clerks and military employees on duty with military forces detailed for service abroad in accordance with the provisions of existing law; members of any other body who have heretofore or may hereafter become a part of the military or naval forces of the United States. "The term 'military service' as used in this definition shall signify active service in any branch of service heretofore mentioned or referred to, but reserves and persons on the retired list shall not be included in the term 'persons in military service' until ordered to active service. "Men attending officers' training camps of the United States army or navy at cantonments, camps or forts are in the active military service. "While it is not intended to minimize the work done by persons connected with, or of assistance to the military or naval service, but not a part of it, members of the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., K. C.; Jewish welfare board, and like organizations are not to be represented on the service flag. "No objection is seen to extending the service flag honor to those in the service of our allies. "Meaning of the stars—(a) A blue star is used to represent each person, man or woman, in the military or naval service of the United States. "(b) For those killed in action a gold star will be substituted for the blue star, or superimposed on it, entirely covering it. "(c) For those wounded in action a silver star will be substituted for the blue star, or superimposed on it, entirely covering it. Use of this star would be limited to those entitled to the official wound chevron, which is awarded to those receiving wounds in action with the enemy or disabled by a gas attack, necessitating treatment by a medical officer. "(d) For those who subsequently die from such wounds or gas disablement, the gold star will be superimposed on the silver, leaving a margin of silver around the gold. “(e) For those disabled or invalided home by injury or disease incurred in line of duty, a silver star will be superimposed on the blue, leaving a margin of blue around the silver. “(f) For those who subsequently die as a result of such accident or disease contracted in line of duty, a gold star will be substituted for this silver star, or superimposed on it, covering the silver star entirely, but leaving the margin of blue. “(g) Men reported missing are presumed to have been taken prisoner and should continue to be represented by the blue star. “(h) Men discharged, not for the good of the service or on request or resignation, but from wounds or physical incapacity contracted in the line of duty, shall continue to be represented by the silver star. When discharged for other causes they would appear to be thereafter no more entitled to representation than others not in the military service.” POULTRY CATECHISM AND CRITICISM Do you keep chickens? If not why not? If so, are they approved breeds? What kind of fowl are kept in your neighborhood? Are they just "chickens," or are they real, working, hens, earning their grub? Can you name five or six of the best breeds of hens and describe the outstanding qualities of each? Do turkeys, ducks or geese possess any advantages over hens? Under what circumstances might this be so? How long does it take to hatch a hen's egg, a duck egg, a goose egg, a turkey egg? Do you sell more eggs than you eat? How many eggs did you sell last year? Did you calculate the average price? Do you know what your hens cost to feed? Which sells for the most—a Plymouth Rock, a Leghorn, a Brahma? A goose, turkey or duck—per pound? Whose fault is it if the hens are not laying? Are you calculating on having laying hens next winter? Do you know that hens can be made to lay under scientific conditions and that "chance" doesn't make poultry-keeping profitable? Has the hen as much right to complain of her housing, feeding or medical care as you have about not getting more eggs? Reverse this question. Does the hen feel cheap? Seventy-four per cent of an egg is water. Do you expect eggs from thirsty hens? Nix. Fifteen per cent of an egg is protein. Protein is the food that makes muscle and lean meat. Hens get protein from worms, bugs, insects, grasshoppers and meat scraps. Can your hens get enough of these summer and winter? You can't have sausage if you have no meat to grind up, eh? Rabbitts, squirrels, buttermilk and butchers' offal make good egg-producing diet. An egg is ten per cent fat. Fat is made from starch. Grain, especially corn, is rich in starch. An egg is one per cent mineral matter, mostly lime. This forms shell. See that the hens get enough. Can't sell soft shell eggs, can you? Some people might as well expect the cat to lay eggs as the hen when one compares the care they both get. Painting Proves Original. An oil painting of Queen Anne of Austria presenting her son, Louis XIV, to the court of France, which has been hanging for many years in the mayor's pavilions of the city hall at New Orleans, is declared by art experts to be the original picture, painted in 1667, by Nicholas Mignard, court artist of Louis XIV.

CHILD AND MOTHER O Mother-my-love, if you'll give me your hand, And go where I ask you to wander, I will lead you away to a beautiful land— The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder. We'll walk in a sweet posie garden out there Where the moonlight and starlight are streaming And the flowers and birds are filling the air With fragrance and music of dreaming. There'll be no little tired-out boy to undress No questions or cares to perplex you; There'll be no little bruises or bumps to caress, Nor patches of stockings to vex you. For I'll wack you away on a silver dew stream. And sing you asleep when you're weary, And no one shall know of our beautiful dream, But you and your own little dearle. And when I'm tired I'll nestle my head In the bosom that's soothed me so often And the wide-awake stars shall sing in my heart A song which our dreaming shall soften. So Mother-my-love, let me take your dear hand, And away through the starlight we'll wander— Away through the mist to the beautiful land— The Dreamland that's waiting out yonder! —Eugene Field. In life's universal garden We have each to hoe our row, And to make life's worth the living, We must hoe it, hoe it, —Caroline L. Sumner, Seasonable Recipes A most delicious dessert very simple and easy to prepare and one that is most attractive to look at is junket, served in sherbet cups, topped with a spoonful of raspberries or any sweetened fruit and over this a spoonful of sweetened whipped cream. To prepare the junket take a junket tablet and dissolve it in a tablespoonful of cold water. Warm a pint of milk until just Juke warm, like new milk, add the dissolved tablet and stir well to mix it thoroughly through the milk, flavor and sweeten to taste and pour into sherbet cups. Let stand in the kitchen until the junket is firm, then set on ice. Fresh berries of any kind when crushed and mixed with equal measures of sugar will keep indefinitely when carefully sealed and kept in a cool place. Junket tablets come in a small wooden box and will keep well until used. Canned fruit may be used for this dessert, but it is not as good as the fresh. Barley Flour Sponge Cake. Beat the yolks of five eggs ver- light; gradually beat in one cupful of granulated sugar, then the grated rind and juice of half a lemon. Fold in one cupful of sifted barley flour and the whites of the eggs beaten very light. Bake in a tube pan 50 minutes. Corn flour or potato flour may be substi- tuted for the barley, using half as much. Rolled Jelly Cake, Potato Flour. Beat two eggs without separating the whites and yolks; gradually beat in seven-eighths of a cupful of sugar. a half teaspoonful of lemon extract or a grating of lemon rind, two tablespoonfuls of butter substitute and one-half cupful of hot water; then add a half cupful of potato flour, a half teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder sifted with the flour. Bake in a shallow pan 15 minutes. Turn on a cloth wrung out of warm water, trim the edges and spread with fruit jelly. Roll, keeping the damp cloth between the hands and cake. Remove the cloth as soon as rolled. One cupful of barley or one-half cupful of corn flour may be used in place of the potato flour. Nessie Maxwell Things Worth Forgetting. People in different parts of China do not speak the same language, and they wouldn't have anything interesting to say if they did. Croesus, once richest man in the world, didn't have enough kale to back the present war more than forty minutes. There is a dispute on by Egyptologists as to whether Cleopatra was a good looker or a fright. During the glacial period ice could be had for nothing as far south as Durango, Mexico. Magnetic Storms Interfere With the Flight of Pigeons. One of the many explanations that have been offered to account for the fact that migrating birds are able to find their way by night and in cloudy or foggy weather is that they are sensitive in some way to currents of terrestrial magnetism, and therefore direct their flight by the magnetic meridians. This suggestion was put forth by M. A. Thauzies, a French pigeon fancier, who declares that carrier pigeons make poor flights during the occurrence of magnetic storms. He also asserts that the general use of wireless telegraphy has diminished the reliability of the birds to a surprising extent.—Popular Science Monthly.
