Twin City Star

THE TWIN CITY STAR. POPULACE GREETS AMERICAN TROOPS YANKEES CROSS INTO LORRAINE AND THE GRAND DUCHY OF LUXEMBURG. Marshal Petain Reviews the Allied Forces and Takes Over the City—Inhabitants Made Great Preparations for Celebration. American Army of Occupation, Nov. 21.—Crossing the old German frontier of 1914 into Lorraine and swinging northward into the grand duchy of Luxemburg, the Americans were enthusiastically received everywhere. On the left the American marines occupied the town of Arlon (Belgium). With the American Army of Occupation, Nov. 21.—Metz was formally restored to the bosom of Mother France when Marshal Petain reviewed the Allied armies and took over the city. The inhabitants had made great preparation for the celebration. Heads Famous Iron Division. Flags were flying from the statues of French heroes still standing in Metz. The preparations were made after the departure of the Germans, and every inhabitant of the city, with the exception of those of German origin, was out early in readiness to receive Marshal Petain. The marshal made his triumphal entry together with a staff of Allied officers at the head of the famous Iron division, the Thirty-ninth division of the Twentieth army corps. Following was a long procession of Lorraine societies and other groups, including a great number of girls in the national costume of Lorraine. Marshal Conducted in Triumph. This procession met the marshal at the Port de France and conducted him in triumph to the Esplanade, where, surrounded by a remarkable group of generals and other high officers, he received the troops that had earned the honor of contributing to the victories of the Allies on almost every battlefield of France. German Prisoners Unharmed. It would be untrue to say that all Metz was gay. A considerable number of Germans still remain here. Some of these tried to put a good countenance on the situation and join the throngs out of doors, but their glum faces were mostly seen from open windows, peering out with curiosity, mingled with interest. Those Germans that were met with in the crowds were treated with a consideration that prevented unpleasant incidents. Cannon Around City Boom. A little later the cannon of the forts about the city, which had just been taken over by the French artillery, began firing a salute of 300 rounds. The famous cathedral bell, the motto on which reads, "I announce justice," gave the signal for the other bells in the city to peal forth a welcome to "our liberators," as the people of Metz with one accord call the French and the Allied armies today.

Persons Having Custody or Control of Enemy Belongings Must Washington, Nov. 21. — A. Mitchell Palmer, alien property custodian, in a statement said the signing of the armistice'does not change his functions or affect his policies in any way. "The United States and Germany," said Mr. Palmer, "are still at war, and the trading with the enemy act is still in force. The alien property custodian will, therefore, continue to perform the duties which that act lays upon him, and will carry out the evident intent of the Congress with relation to enemy property until peace shall be proclaimed. "As long as the trading with the enemy act is in force, it remains the duty of all persons having the custody or control of enemy property in this country to make report thereof to the alien property custodian. Despite the fact that the time for making these reports has long since expired, reports are still coming to this office and there is much property in the country not yet reported. "Attention is called to this fact because persons having the custody of enemy property are making themselves liable to prosecution under the act for failure to report it, and this liability will continue even after the treaty of peace shall have been made."

TRADE EXPANSION IS LARGE PROBLEM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE OFFI CIAL SEES BIG CHANCE FOR UNITED STATES. MORE HELP WILL BE NEEDED After, Two Years or More of Outdoor Life in the Army Many Returning Soldiers May Prefer Farming to Office or Factory. New York, Nov. 21. — Preparations for great expansion of business at home and abroad is the present problem of the United States, said Allen Walker, manager of the foreign department of the United States Chamber of Commerce, discussing the transitional period from war to peace through which America is now going. To insure this' expansion abroad Mr. Walker emphasized the necessity for the United States industrialists to maintain the same spirit of unselfish co-operation that marked America's participation in the war rather than to go back to the old methods of individualism. Will Need More Help. Because of world wide demand for what the United States can produce, he said, there will not be a curtailment of manufacturing or an employment problem due to the ending of the war. The factories now turning out war orders will be equipped as never before to compete with foreign producers, and will require not alone what labor they now employ, but will need more help as our world trade grows. Another element which will make gradual the dilution of labor by the returning ranks of soldiers, Mr. Walker believes, is the plan of the government to afford the men an opportunity to engage in farm work. After two years or more of the outdoor life in the army it is logical to conclude these men will prefer farm work to office or factory work, said Mr. Walker. Depends on Government Policies. The extent to which the foreign trade of the United States will be extended to meet the facilities of our manufacturers and with what enthusiasm the industrialists will pursue foreign trade will depend on government policies on finance, on labor costs, shipping and the maintenance of the established national ideals, Mr. Walker declared. What men high in power will say in the next weeks or months will largely determine the economic conditions of the future. There should be a declared policy of the United States as to where we stand on the question of foreign finance. Financiers must feel that their activities abroad will be unrestricted. BEER SUPPLY PERILED, SAY EASTERN BREWERS Prominent Manufacturers Say Stock on Hand Will Be Exhausted Soon After Dec. 1. Boston, Nov. 21.—Whether the ancient brotherhood of beer drinkers is to take its favorite beverage by the thimbleful or from an atomizer, after Dec. 1, depends on the members themselves.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY GERMANS GIVE UP TWENTY U-BOATS SUBMARINES SURRENDER TO BRITISH ADMIRAL OFF EAST COAST OF ENGLAND. BOLSHEVIK RULE IS UPSET Ukranian Government Is Said to Have Been Overthrown and Kiev Has Been Captured by Troops From Astrakhan. London, Nov. 21. Twenty German submarines were surrendered to Rear Admiral Reginald W. Tyrwhitt, 30 miles off Harwich at sunrise, according to a press association dispatch. These are the first U boats to be turned over to the Allies by Germany. Harwich has one of the best harbors on the east coast of England. It is in the county of Essex, northeast of London. Admiral Tyrwhitt received the surrender of the German craft on board his flagship, a British cruiser. The surrendered submarines will proceed to Harwich in charge of their crews. The U boats will then be boarded by British crews and interpreters and proceed to Parkeston quay nearby. The Germans will leave the submarines there and board transports for their return to Germany. The remainder of the U boats will be given up later. Copenhagen, Nov. 21.—The Ukrainian government has been overturned and Kiev has been captured by troops from Astrakhan, according to Kiev dispatches to Swedish newspapers. The Ukrainian national assembly has fled and a provisional government has been established by the captors of the city, who apparently are commanded by General Denikine, leader of the anti-bolshevist forces. The Ukraine became a republic during the disorders in Russia after the overthrow of the Kerensky government in November, 1917. There was much fighting there between the bolshevik and their opponents, resulting in the defeat of the bolshevik1. The Ukrainian government made peace with Germany at Brest-Litovsk a few days before the Russian bolshevik government also agreed to German terms. The Ukrainian government was overthrown last May and General Skoropadski became dictator under the title of hetman, but he has had difficulty in maintaining order there, although assisted by the Austro-Germans. General Denikine was formerly commander of the Russian armies on the southwestern front. Previous to that, he had been chief of staff of the Russian armies. Washington, Nov. 21.—Reports of the overturning of the Ukrainian government by General Denikine's antibolshevik troops were received here with satisfaction, for, officials said, it will make the work of the Allies in handling the Russian problem much more simple.

NO. 36. BRITAIN SENDS SHARP NOTE WARNS BERLIN AGAINST CRUEL TREATMENT OF PRISONERS. British Soldiers Are Returning On Foot, Miserably Clothed and Without Food. London, Nov. 21.—In any question of provisioning Germany, the British government will be obliged to take into account the conditions under which British prisoners in Germany are being released, unless the cruel treatment which such prisoners are receiving is discontinued, the German government was warned in a wireless message. The message sent by the British government reads: "Information reaches his majesty's government of a shocking lack of organization in the release of British prisoners in German territory and of their return march on foot miserably clothed, without food or transport, and with no escort nor guides to the Allied lines, with the result of lamentable suffering and heavy mortality. "His majesty's government cannot tolerate continuation of this cruel treatment and must insist on adequate arrangement being made in all the above respects by the German authorities with whom the responsibility lies. "Otherwise, we shall be compelled to take this into account in any question of revictualling Germany or satisfying the requirements of the German population." "His majesty's government is ready to lend all available assistance by forwarding food, clothing and transport to prisoners' camps where they are not otherwise forthcoming and are addressing Allied commanders in this sense."

SAID TO FEED ON INSECTS Pitcher Plant Known to Scientists as One of the Wonders of the Vegetable Kingdom. The pitcher plant is one of the freaks of plant life. It grows in swampy lands and is well known in Canada. The flowers, touched with beautiful, delicate tints, are prized for decorative purposes. But the wonder of the pitcher plant is its leaves. They are green, water-holding pitchers, beautifully veined with red and purple, with considerable variation in form. During rainfalls they are filled with water. This largely evaporates, leaving the receptacle half full. Externally these cups are smooth, while internally they are lined with fine bristles pointing downward. There is also a sticky, sugary sort of semi-fluid substance to be found around the inner margin of the bowl or pitcher. This arrangement not only attracts a large number of tiny insects, but they are so eager to feed on the sugary substance that not a few tumble into the water below and die there. They cannot fly out, for the lines of flight would be practically vertical, while hundreds of little bristles confronting them prevent escape over the surface by walking out. Many believe that the plant, through its leaves, absorbs the digestive parts of these insects, and that they thus contribute to its nutrition; in other words, that the pitcher plant to this extent is one of the carnivores of the vegetable kingdom.

Pershing when the crowds in the streets espled the Amer- fean commander passing in his auto- mobile. It is estimated that at least fifty thousand persons crowded about the general's car, while half a mil- ‘Hon more jammed the Place de la Con- corde and adjacent streets in a mad effort to get a glinipse of the Ameri- can leader, ‘The general was out for a_ short drive and had come up the Rue Rivoll. His car was proceeding at a snail's pace before It was recognized by the frenzied street crowds. As General Kershing’s face, with the famous smile, showed through the door, a French girl with the flags of half a dozen nations twined about her head sereamed, “General Pershing !” ‘The cry was taken up instantly and passed over the seething multitudes. If there were any gendarmes about they were swallowed up in the enormous mob, In an instant men and women went mad and screamed his namie, and all trled to reach the car, ‘Men picked up women and held them on thelr shoulders that they might get a look at the general, The mob surged toward the car In another, wave. Shakes Hands of Children. General Pershing amidst the danger was enjoying it greatly. Instead of clos- ing the window and urging the driver to get out before they were crushed to death, he let the window down full length, laughed heartily, and thrust his hand out of the door to shake the hand of a little French child whose proud father lifted her above the heads of the mob. Children climbed on the tonneau and shinned up the back of the limousine and frantically ieaped over the strug- ling mass and shot their hands tn at ihe window. General Pershing. con- tinued laughing and tried to shake as many hands as equkt be thrust through the window. “Pershing! Pershing!” bellowed the mob, and the name rang from the Belne to the Rue Royale, up the Champs Elysees, and through the ‘Tuileries gardens, Efforts to Clear Way Fail. French officers who had been caught op in the human maelstrom saluted and thei endeavored to have the mob give way. As if by common Impulse the masses seemed to understand that the great American general was in danger, and with a craning of heads and the screams of women and chil- dren a slight rift was made directly ahead of the car. Then by less than a snail's pace the car with frantic snorts edged along, Inch by inch. The cheering was indescribable. Along the boulevards the name of Per- shing was taken up by thousands who probably did not know that Pershing ‘was in thelr midst, and at one moment {t seemed that all Paris was shouting. By this time the inside of Pershing’s car resembled a flag shop. The chil- dren who were raised over the heads of the frantic populace tossed small fings and flowers through the window and the grownups tore the Insignia from thelr conts and tossed it in, Gen- eral Pershing was laughing hard and waving his hand back at the children, but still the flag and floral offerings poured in until he was half buried be- neath the bunting, flags, buttons, in- signia, and crushed blossoms, Moves Inch by Inch. Inch by inch the car moved and then halted several minutes as the mob surged back against it. It was the car he had- used over the battlefield of France and was bullt for rough usage, else It seems it must have crushed like an egg shell, Finally the car edged out of the ‘Place de ta Concorde Into the Champs ‘Elysees, but still the mob, with hats ‘off, arms in air, and mouths wide open, shouting like mad, surged about him. It was several minutes more before the ‘ear could be extrieated and a sem- ‘lance of a road made. ~ Even then, as the car got away up ‘the great avenue toyard the Arc de ‘Triomph, thousands ran after it. All ‘Paris seemed to be rumbling with a mighty nolse and over the mighty noise sounded, clear and strong, “Vive Pershing !” ‘Troops in England First Home. London.—The first American troops to depart homeward as a result of the signing of the armistice will be 18,000 ‘men stationed in England. ‘The Amer- jean army expects to start the first shipload of these soldiere homeward the trukey and details the method of hunting them in the New Netherlands: “There are also very large turkeys running wild. They have very long legs and run so extraordinarily fast that generally we take savages when we go to hunt them, far when one has deprived them of the power of flying they yet run so fast that we cannot catch them unless their legs-are hurt also.” Turkeys have been called the greatest game bird of this country, and the methods of taking them have been many. John Hunter, who was captured by the Indians and spent some time in captivity, In his memoirs, written. in 1824, tells how the Indians made a decoy bird from the skin of a turkey, fol- lowed the turkey tracks until they came upon a flock and then partially displaying thelr decoy and Imitating the gobbling noise mude by the cock, drew off first one and then another of the flock, who being socially inclined, came along to investigate the newcomers, Among the Indians the children were expected to kill turkeys with thelr blow guns. These were hollow reeds, in which arrows were placed and blown le such force that, belng directed at the eye of the creature, they often brought him ‘down. Children as young as eight years Were successful at this sort of shooting. Adrian Van der Donck says that turkeys were sometimes caught by dogs In the snow during the seventeenth century, but generally they were shot at night from trees. They slept in the trees in large flocks and often selected the same spot many nights in succession, At other times the Indians would lay roots of which the turkeys were fond in small streams and takg the birds as they were in the act of getting these roots. In Virginia the trap or pen was much used. This trap was built In the forest and leading to it was a long train of corn. The trap was a simple affalr built of logs laid one upon another and having rough rails Intd across the top. There was a trench dug under the lowest logs which fenced in the Den. In this trench corn was scattered and the turkey following the trall of this delicacy for some distance oft would finally come to the trench, which seemed to be quite providentially strewn with an unusually rich supply. He folloyred the great bright path of rich food to his destruction. The turkey's lack of Intelligence, when it comes to penning him up, fs one of the reasons why a great many Americans have not been in accord with Benjamin Frank- Iin's Idea that the turkey and not the eagle should he the bird of our country. A writer, describing the shooting of turkeys in the latter half of the nine- teenth century in Michigan, speaks of the use of the hollow bone of the turkey's wing, which in the mouth of an expert can be made to reproduce per- fectly the piping sound of the turkey hen. Sometimes also turkeys were hunted on horseback. In Virginia, according to an old writer, this was not uncommon. He says: “Though we galloped our horses we ¢ould not overtake them [the turkeys], although they run nenzly two hundred and twenty yards before they took flight.” ‘The constant practice of our forefathers in shooting game developed a great many fine turkey shots, and it is recorded that in the Inter half of the severeenth century “a man was thought a bad shot if he missed the very head of a wild turkey on top of the highest tree with a single ball.” To “pot hunting” and to the practice’ of luring the turkeys by imitating the call of the hen in the spring, Sylvester D. Judd of the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture largely attributes the ex- termination of the wild turkey In many parts of the United States where formerly it was especially abundant. ‘Trapping the turkeys in pens also helped along the extermination: ~~ Although the turkey fs, generally speaking, not a particularly hardy bird, being subject to various forms of indigestion, etc., he is varied in his diet and usually has a good appetite. Some of the things which the wild turkey likes best ind which the domesticated bird will by no means scorn are grass- hopperg, crickets, locusts, tadpoles, small lizards, garden seeds and snails. One turkey which was examined by a scientist was found to have partaken of a meal including the following viands: One harvest spider, one centipede, one thousand-legs, one ichneuman fly, two yellowjackets, one grasshopper, three katydids, wild cherries, grapes, berries of dogwood and the sorghum, two chestnuts, twenty-five whole acorns, a few alder calkins and five hundred seeds of tick trefoil. The domestic tur- key’s habit of hunting grasshoppers and worming tobacco shows that his delight in the primitive pleasures of the table has not altered in his more carefully provided for existence. The chicks both of the wild and the domestic turkey are delleate and especially must they be protected during the damp weather. Audubon says that the mother bird among the wild turkeys thoroughly understands the delicacy of her offspring and that when it 1s wet she feeds the chicks buds from the spice bush with medicinal intent exactly as the mother of a brood of youngsters prescribes doses of quinine when influenza has taken the family In Its clutches. As soon as the young birds can fly well enough to take thelr place on the roost with thelr mothers the most delicate period of childhood, what might be called the teething stage, s thought to be over. But, uccording to a successful turkey farmer, the poults are three months old before they can he taught anything. ‘They are then taught that they should roost high so as to Keep out of the way of night prowlers, ‘Turkeys retain go much of tiyir wild nature that they do not like roosting inside a house, and, indeed, they do not care even for artificial perches. When pos- sible they greatly prefer tall trees as a roosting place to any roost that has been especially constructed for them. ‘This characteristic renders them espe- clally easy victims for night raiders, In addition to the human desperadoes of this description there are the coyotes and hawks always tq be guarded against in some parts of the country. : In addition to illnesses which come from ‘digestive disorders, colds, the terrible scourge of blackheads, etc., and the depredations of the night raider, the turkey farmer always has to consider also the feuds among the members af his flock, which frequently rnge high. Nevertheless, the careful turkey rancher has found it possible to conserve his birds and make a large profit from them, A woman turkey rancher, who has had good experience in the business, lost in one senson only twelve birds out of a flock of 1,500. ‘At first the young turkeys are fed on bread and milk, hard-boiled yolk of egg and perhaps some chopped alfalfa. Later they are fed cracked grain, but as soon as they ure able to take to the range {t {s no longer necessary to feed them. ‘The range supplies all that they need, both green and dry, and happy 1s the householder who 1s able to purchase for his table turkeys whose habitat has been an oak forest. Nothing 1s more delicious than a turkey which has fed freely-on acorns. ‘Although there are many great turkey ranches and whole communities which live prineipally upon the raising of turkeys for market, such ak Cuera, ‘Tex. whose annual turkey trade preceding Thanksgiving includes thousands of turkeys bound for the New York markets, as a rule turkeys are raised in small groups on farms which are fnterested in other commodities. ‘They are often the sole dependence of the farmer's wife for pocket money throughout the year, and many a farmer’s daughter also has been able to make a shining appearance in her world of fashion principally through the successful market- ing of the turkey brood. f : ‘On the 5,000,000 farms of the United States there were, according to careful statistics taken some years ago, only 6,500,000 turkeys, ‘Texas led among the states, producing 650,000, The other states which were large pro- ducers were Missoyri, Illinois, Iowa, Ohlo and Indiana. The state of Rhode Island, noted as it'is for its turkeys, produced ‘only 5,000. But the quality of the Rhode Island turkeys always has been excellent and they usually bring prices vastly in excess of those from other parts of the country. ‘And that ought to be enough about turkeys to get up a pretty good ap- petite for Thursday's dinner! Po Re NR a LIN YZ. BU SAP SFE a oN ‘ 2 ENOR DON TURKEY played a brilliant part in history even before My the Spaniards discovered him, along with Mexico, in 1518, ee Long before that he had been worshiped by Aztecs. Later, SNE when his religious vogue was past, he was given honorable men HYAMS tion as a bird of honor at the marriage banquet of a king. So RQ YSEy mwerlor a viand was ho considered when frst introduced to PSG Borepe that in a “constitution” set forth by Cranmer in 1541 SAKA) turkey is named as one of the greater fowls, of which an ecclest- astie was to “have but one in a dishe.” But he speedily multiplied to such an extent that no later than 1555 two turkeys and four turkey chicks were served at a feast of the sergeants at arms in London. ‘Turkeys at that period were mentioned in connection with cranes and swans as important and rich items of a banquet. A little later, in 1573, turkeys were used on the tables of English husbandmen for the Christmas feast. In the meantime they were more than plentiful in thelr home land, where turkeys continued to sell for about six cents aplece as Inte as the nineteenth century. For six cents in those good old days a turkey weighing about twelve pounds could be bought by a good shopper. If the family needed a turkey weighing twenty-five or thirty pounds it was necessary to pay as much as a quarter. But it must be remembered that six cents in those duys counted a good deal more than {t does in this. ‘The turkey that the Aztecs worshiped was probably either the Mexican wild turkey, which {s known by the white touches on its tail covers and quills, oF, more appropriately, the ocellated turkey of Honduras and other parts of South America, whose brilliant plumage, spotted almost as gloriously with vivid colors as a peacock, somehow allies it particularly with that vivid early people. , The turkey which strolled out of the forests of New England and furnished so marvellous a banquet for our Puritan forefathers was a handsomer fird than that of Mexico, in the opinion of some lovers of beauty, but not so brilliant a oné-as the Honduras turkey. ‘The American wild turkey, which really belongs to ‘Thanksgiving, was the North American wild turkey found throughout the eastern United States and Canada, Sclentifically it is known as the Meleagris Americana, Its plumage is black, shaded with bronze. In the rays of the sun the bird gleams in a beautiful harmony of black, copper, gold and bronze. And the turkey likes the rays of the sun. He hates damp weather, not alone because it 1s bad for his health, but because it obscures his beauty. It is generally belleved at present that all the turkeys of the world have descended from the three forms known as the North American bird, which has Just been described; the Mexican bird and the ocellated bird. ‘The turkey which was first introduced into Europe may have been car- ried there by the Spantards from Mexico or the Jesuits may have taken it back across the waters from one of thelr seattered stations in the great woods of Canada. In any event, one of {ts representatives figured at the mnarriuge banquet of Charles IX and was regarded as of sufficient Importance to be mentioned in the reports of that festivity. ‘The Mexican turkey 1s the wild bird of Mexico, which also came over the ine into the southern part of the United States. Meleagris Gallopava is the ‘name that Is generally employed to describe this turkey. It is somewhat ‘horter in the shank than the northern species. Its body color is a-metallle slack, shaded with bronze. ‘This is thought to be the species that the early navigators first bore back to Spain and England. The white tips of its plumage elso have suggested that {t {s to this bird rather than to the wild turkey of North America that most of the domestic fowls owe thelr origin. ‘The ocellated turkey, Meleagris Ocellata, which is smaller than the others, has a bare head and neck. —_Its body plumage is bronze and green, banded with-gald bronze and varied with spots or eyes of brilliant colors—blue, red and brifiant black. ‘Why the turkey 1s called the turkey when its origin 1s admittedly purely ocetdental is a subject that has puzzled many persons. There are several feasons given by those who have delved deeply into this problem, and one Is privileged to take his cholce. In the first place, it fs stated that the turkey wes originally supposed to have come from Asia. Thus at a time when a great stretch of territory on the Astatic continent was called “Turkey” the fia derived its name from its supposed origin. Another speculative chron- eter records that the Indians called the bird “‘firkee” and that from this its commop name was created. ‘Then, again, it 1s somewhat generally beloved that the bird named itself by its peculiar utterances, which are translated as Sturk-turk-turkee.” Again, still more subtle philosophers have traced the naming of the bird to its kinship In the matter of polygamous habits with the Tarks over the water. Certainly no turbaned subject of the sultan, even in the days when harems were considered an article of the true religion, was ever more tenacious of his privileges in this regard than the turkey cock of paryard or forest, Turkeys were also at one tlie supposed to have come from Afrien-and they were confused with guineas. ‘The errors in thelr sclen- tifle naming are due to this confusion. When, in 1621, after making thelr first harvest, the pilgrims decreed that there should be a three days’ festival, which was really the first Thanks- giving, ¥ild turkeys already had become known as a delicious food, and they rnished the mainstay of the feast. The old pioneers weren't so badly off, fs seems, in some ways as we have been led to imagine, for, although they ‘ere deprived of the Joys of tinned ments and vegetables and cold storage and similar blessings, turkeys were so plentfful that it 1s recorded it was Sustomary to refer to them as bread. Another. chronicler sets forth the fact {hat the breast of the wild turkey when cooked In butter was esteemed by even the epicures among the explorers. But in spite of their abundance tur- keys were regarded with favor even by the red men; if one fs to Judge by the following prayer which they uttered: “Q Great Being, I thank thee that I have obtained the use of my legs again so that I Am able to walk about and kill turkeys.” Tt was nat alone in early New England fat the bird was regarded with uch favor as an edible.

German Navy Surrendered, London.—There has just been seen the greatest naval surrender which the world has ever witnessed, A great fleet of German battleships, battle cruisers, and light erulsers and destroyers left port for an unknown dextinution. ‘They were met by the British fleet, accompanied by Amert- can ayd French representatives, and conducted to their destination, A Berlin telegram received in Am- sterdam gives this list of the vessels comprising the best of the German avy that were to be handed over: Battleships—Kalser, Kalserin, Ko- nig Albrecht, Kronprinz Wilhelm, Pring Regent Lultpold, — Markgrat, Grosser Kurfurst, Bayern, Konig Friedrich der Grosse, Battle cruisers—Hindenburg, Derf- finger, Seldiltz, Moltke, Von der Tana, Light crulsers—Bremen, Brummer, Frankfurt, Kolin, Dresden, Emden.

When the American troops entered Briey, the heart of the Lothringian Iron fields, they passed under trium- phal arches that had been hurriedly erected by the people of the town, and the streets through which they passed were bedecked with flags. On one arch through which the Americans passed was a homemade American fing four feet in length, flanked by the French colors. ‘The flag, which had been made by three French girls, had eleven stars and xeven red and white stripes. At St. Leger, as the advance units of the Americans entered the town, the church bells were rung and the mayor and his wife stood in front ot their home to welcome the officers and correspondents, who were Invited to become the mayor's guests. Wom- en, children and aged men crowded about the soldiers, embracing them and presenting them with flowers, Similar scenes were enacted as the Americans reached Virton, Longwy, Audun, La Romain and other towns evacuated by the Germans. Everything moves smoothly as the American forces proceed toward the Rhine, Some 200,000 men, with their supplies, guns and ammunition, must be moved along three main roads from railheads that get farther behind each day. The job is one that would {ax the abilities of the quartermasters of any army. Flags Flutter Over British, With the British Armtes.—Innumer- able flags fluttered over the heads of the British troops as they moved for- ward and started on their march to the Rhine. ‘The cavalrymen had thelr own guidons and some of them rode with French and Belgian flags sticking out of their boots and fastened to their bridies. ‘The gunners had flags on their limbers and the axles of their wagons; their steel traces were pol- Ished brightly, as though for a mill- tary tournament, and their steel hel- mets were shining, ‘They had spent many hours In “spit and polish” since the day of the armistice, so they should look well on the road to the Rhine. ‘The advancing troops met thousands of clvillans who were coming home after years of exile. As the soldiers went forward the homecoming clvi}- fans halted to wave flags at them, astounded, it seemed, by the smart- ness of the men who, after four years of war, rode out, spick and span from helmet to spur, on fine horses, well fed and groomed, in sharp contrast to the sorry-looking German horse flesh.

NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON Woman Not Only "Critter" Sensitive About Age WASHINGTON.—It is a man doctrine that woman is oversensitive about her age. And doubtless woman is, but her brother Adam is that same—with this instance for a showdown: A young fellow seated in a crowded car offered his place to an oldish man soon as he was settled he took the whole car in "Some people are too officious. I may be a body can see that I am as vigorous as the next as he is." The passengers kept neutrally noncommitted no motion that he heard. Feeling the lack of man took a paper from his pocket and began to sudden gust of realization that he had been l and tapped the young man on a knee. "Say, sir, here's my paper, if you'd like to "Some people are too officious. I may be a little older in years, but anybody can see that I am as vigorous as the next—and just as able to stand as he is." The passengers kept neutrally noncommittal and the young man made no motion that he heard. Feeling the lack of proper sympathy, the oldish man took a paper from his pocket and began to read. Then—perhaps in a sudden gust of realization that he had been ill natured—he leaned across and tapped the young man on a knee. "Say, sir, here's my paper, if you'd like to read it." The young man thanked him and declined. "But I want you to take it, sir. There's a first-rate account of the evacuation of——" "But I want you to take it, sir. There's a fir- tion of——" The young man refused. The oldish man in evened up. "I accept your apology because you must these people for insulting a man for offering you can go to blank." And that oldish man will doubtless tell you woman is oversensitive about her age. The young man refused. The oldish man insisted. Then the young man evened up. "I accept your apology because you must feel pretty cheap before all these people for insulting a man for offering you a kindness—but your paper can go to blank." And that oldish man will doubtless tell you to the end of his days that woman is oversensitive about her age. Which is one of the ways of Adam.

The young man flushed the red of embarrassment, sat down and turned his face to the window. The passengers across shoved closer and made room for the oldish passenger.

Mrs. Tetlow's Thanksgiving Guests HE old Tetlow place stood off to the east of Layton. It had once been surrounded by wide acres, but gradually the growing town had encroached on its borders; and, bit by bit, the property had been swallowed up, until at last the low-browed, rambling farmhouse was elbowed by smarter town residences, and could boast only a narrow door-yard in front, and a cramped orchard in the rear. "The mills had spoiled Layton," old "The mills had spilled Layton," old Mrs. Tetlow used to say, with a dreary shake of the head, as she watched these changes. The Tetlow farm had been a prosperous one in its day, and its owners had lived on it in quiet respectability for many generations. But they were all scattered and gone now—these Tetlows—save for the one lonely old woman, who gazed out of the small-paned windows. People said Mrs. Tetlow was growing forgetful. Perhaps she was—forgetful of the present. It was a dreary November day. The clouds hung low and a few scattering snowflakes were beginning to fall. "Real Thanksgiving weather," murmured Mrs. Tetlow, as she looked out of her front window. "Yes, it's real Thanksgiving weather," repeated the old lady, drawing her small shoulder shawl closer about her. "It's time to be making the mincement." "Mother always did that the first thing," she went on, by and by, "and today is Friday. Next week will bring the last Thursday in the month. The proclamation'll be read next Sabbath." The knitting needles lay idle in Mrs. Tetlow's lap, as she rocked slowly back and forth. "Grandma Spencer's folks always came by Wednesday night," she said, after a reflective pause, "and brother Peter and his wife and boys would get here as early as 9 Thanksgiving morning. The rest didn't come till nearly noon. I wonder where Peter's boy is now. I wish the West weren't so far off. I wonder if the boy's done well." Mrs. Tetlow stopped rocking and sat up straight in her chair. "Wouldn't I like to get ready for another such Thanksgiving party," she exclaimed, a red spot burning in either cheek. "I believe I will." She arose, her slight figure trembling as she rolled up her knitting work and thrust the needles into it. "Let me see," she went on musingly, how many must I provide for? There's Peter and Mary and the three boys, and Jane and Henrietta and Uncle Solon. Nannie and her husband and the little folks, bless 'em! and Grandma Spencer's folks and Joe and Letty. It'll be a long tableful, but I'll be ready for them." Monday saw active preparations going on in the old kitchen. The last thidg each night before going to her bed the old lady took her wavering candle and inspected her pantry shelves, and with every evening there were more toothsome goodies to behold. When the traveling butcher stopped Wednesday for his usual small order, Mrs. Tetlow followed him out to his cart and selected the largest turkey in his collection. The man's eyes opened wide. "Expecting company, ma'am?" he asked as he welged it, and the old woman nodded gravely. That morning the windows in the upper chamber were thrown open to the wind and sunshine, and sweeping and dusting and airing of bed linen were in order. "Grandma Spencer's folks always come by Wednesday night," she said, "and the rooms haven't been used for some time. They feel a little damp, so I'll have them open all day." Toward night Mrs. Tetlow put on her second best gown and sat down near the window to watch. When her guests arrived, the nearest neighbor might not have known, Grateful for Victory in War. This is indeed a sad world to which Thanksgiving day comes this year, a world full of death and destruction, woe and hatred, and my greatest and deepest thankfulness this year is that Almighty God made it possible for me to believe in an outcome of it all which shall be for the ultimate welfare of all people. My hymn of praise is for the truth that is in me. Otherwise, amidst the play of titanic forces which use men merely as pawns on the world chest but a lamp was lighted in the dim best room that evening, and at nine o'clock the old woman took a bedroom candle in either hand and toiled up the creaking stair. On the little stand beside each bed she placed a brass candlestick, and, having turned back the sheets, went out again, purmuring a soft "good-night." Mrs. Tetlow arose at dawn, and before it was time to prepare breakfast she had dressed her turkey and set it aside, ready for the oven. About nine o'clock she began to lay her table. Having smoothed out every wrinkle in the cloth, she gathered all her geranium blossoms and put them in the center of the table in a glass bowl. Then the silver, which had all been polished the day before, was brought forth from its canton fannel wrappings, and Great-grandma Tetlow's blue china was lifted down from the shelves of the china closet. "How good it is to see all these things out again!" exclaimed the old lady, surveying the result of her labor with pardonable pride; "and it's right good to have company once more," she added with a little sigh; "I've eaten alone so long." "Ive nothing to do now," she said, "but to sit at the front window and watch for the folks to come. I'll be able to see them far up the meadow road." A few minutes later she was startled by hearing a knock at the front door, and, quite trembling with the shock, she arose to open it. "Good morning, Mrs. Tetlow." It was Mrs. Clifford, the young doctor's wife, who spoke. "Good morning, Mrs. Tetlow. Isn't this a beautiful Thanksgiving day? Madam Clifford is out in the carriage and she wants to take you home to have dinner with us. Please say you'll come; and let me get your bonnet and shawl for you." Mrs. Tetlow looked down into the bright young face, with a dreamy happiness in her own, as she slowly shook her head. "You're real good," she said, "and please tell Madam Clifford I'm just as much obliged to her, but I can't come today. I'm—I'm looking for company." There was a ring of tremulous pride in the old voice that went to the heart of the young woman. She looked up into the wrinkled old face and noted the strange glow of content and far-off happiness in the old eyes. Mrs. Clifford remembered it afterward with a sense of awe. As she turned to go now she saw, through the open door, a corner of the long table, all ready for dinner. "Tm so glad for you, Mrs. Tetlow!" she exclaimed impulsively. "I hope you will have a pleasant Thanksgiving day." Then she hurried back to her carriage, and Mrs. Tetlow returned to her rocking-chair by the window. "They're real late," she murmured to herself now and then, and a new, strange weariness and numbness crept over her as she sat and waited, her dim vision still wandering far up the meadow road. Suddenly she started forward with outstretched arms. "Peter!" she cried, "Mary!" and then sank back feebly in her chair. "I'm right glad to see you all," she faltered, "but I seem to be a little tired. Just lay off your things and draw up near the fire. It is growing chilly." She drew her shawl closer about her, with a little shiver as she spoke. "Johnny, just put another stick in the stove; that's a good boy." She closed her eyes a moment, murmuring softly to herself, "I must give out now; its nearly dinner time. I'll just rest till the others come." But soon she leaned forward again, a joyous smile on her lips. "Nannie!" she exclaimed, "and the blessed baby! I didn't see you come in. Sit here, child; I'll hold the little one while you rest," and she began to croon softly as she rocked. "It is cold," she murmured again, "real cold; but then it's Thanksgiving weather." Several moments slipped by, while the old clock alone broke the stillness; then Mrs. Tetlow raised her head. "I smell lavender," she said. "Aunt Henrietta! I knew you had come. I smelled the lavender." "Grandma Spencer's in the best room," she added. "She came at sun-down last evening and she seems real smart. What, Joe, you here, too! Did you come in the back way? Uncle Solon and pa are in the barn, aren't they?" An anxious look suddenly clouded the sunshine in her eyes. "Nannle," she whispered, "will you just take a look at things in the kitchen. I seem to be a little tred, but there's nothing to do. I'll come soon." Her gaze wandered up the "meadow road" again, the joyous look returning, "They're coming!" she cried at length, "They're coming; I can see the sleigh." Then she turned, as though some one had touched her elbow, and started back wonderingly. "My little Mary!" she faltered, with dimming eyes, "my little Mary, with her old rag baby! I thought—oh, father. John, here is our little Mary!" With a beautiful gesture she clasped the child of her youth to her heart, and when she raised her eyes again it was to murmur, "Mother, father, Letty, Eben—what a grand Thanksgiving! I didn't count on seeing you all—why, the room is full—full—but I have enough—" The sun had gone down when Dr. Clifford drove by the old Tetlow place, on his way to see some patient. "So the old lady is entertaining," he said to himself, remembering his wife's story, and then, glancing at the house, he drew his horse up suddenly. "No lights!" he exclaimed, and an intuitive impulse made him stop. "I can't seem to go by," he said, "I must just run in and see if all is well with the old lady." He hurried up the path and lifted the heavy knocker, but no one answered. Then the doctor opened the door and walked in. "Mrs. Tetlow," he called, but the loud tick of the clock alone responded. Finally a sleepy cat emerged from the kitchen and rubbed against his leg. Dr. Clifford struck a match and lighted a lamp that stood on the hall table. Then he passed into the sittingroom. The fire in the air-tight stove had gone out and the room had grown cold. Through a half-open door he could see dimly a long table, laid for many guests, but no plate had been disturbed. The doctor raised the lamp above his head and turned toward the front window. In the high-backed rocker a slender, motionless figure leaned back among the cushions, but the old house was wrapped in peaceful stillness; for, with a wonderful smile upon her white lips, Mrs. Tetlow had gone forth with her Thanksgiving guests. trusts its God in war's dark hour.—Exchange.

(Copyright, 1913 Eastern Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 24 JACOB AND ESAU RECONCILED. LESSON TEXT—Genesis 33:1-11. GOLDEN TEXT—A soft answer turneth away wrath—Proverbs 41:1. DIDDITIONAL READING—Psalms 46. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Genesis 33:8-33:28. From Bethel, Jacob went to Padarram to his mother's people. Here he served Laban for twenty years—fourteen years for his wives and six years for certain wages. In his dealings with Laban he finds his match—two schemers get together—"diamond cuts diamond." 1. Jacob Departs for Canaan (31:11-21). The time had come for Jacob to go back to his kindred in the land of Canaan. The Lord instructed him so to do (v. 13). Though going forward under the direction of God, his Jacobnature caused him to take clandestine leave of Laban. When Laban realized the situation he went in hot pursuit, but God appeared unto him in a dream and warned him against any act of violence toward Jacob. They formed a compact and Laban returned home. II. Jacob on the Way (chapter 32.) Laban's return freed Jacob from the enemy who was pursuing him from bekind, but he faced a more formidable one in the person of Esau. 1. Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1). Two camps of angels met him to give him the assurance that God would be with him according to his promise. Notwithstanding this, he continued to scheme. He sent a, deputation with a message of good cheer to Esau. 2. Jacob praying (vv. 9-12). 2. Jacob praying (v. 9). Esau made no reply to Jacob's message, but went forward with an army of men, four hundred strong, to meet Jacob. Jacob is in great distress, therefore he casts himself upon God in prayer. This is a fine specimen of effectual prayer. It is short, direct, and earnest. (1) He reminds God of his command issued for his return, and also of the covenant promise (31:3). Surely God would not issue a command and then leave him in such a strait. (2) Pleads God's promise as to his personal safety (v. 9, cf. Genesis 28:13-15, 31-33). In our praying we should definitely plead God's promises in his word, on the ground of covenant relationship in Christ. (3) Confesses unworthiness (v. 10). In this he shows the proper spirit of humility. (4) Presents definite petitions (v. 11). He lays before the Lord the definite request to be delivered from the wrath of Esau. 3. The angel of Jehovah wrestling with Jacob (32:24-32). In God's school of discipline, Jacob is making some improvement, but still he is under the sway of self-will and self-trust. Though he had laid the matter definitely before the Lord, he thought that his scheming would render God some assistance. Accordingly, he sent presents ahead to appease the anger of Esau. While Journeying along, a man met him and wrestled with him, but Jacob knew not who he was. Perhaps he thought that Esau had pounced upon him in the dark. He exerted every ounce of strength in what he thought was the struggle for his very life. The morning was approaching, and still the wrestlers continued, Jacob not knowing it was Jehovah manifest in human form. This is the second crisis in Jacob's life. He did not dare to enter the promised land under the control of his self-sufficiency; his selffish will must be broken; his Jacob-nature must be changed. God humbled him by dislocating his thigh. When thus humbled, he quit, wrestling and clung to God. He got the blessing when he, conscious of his weakness, laid hold of God. 4. Jacob gets a new name (v. 28). He was no longer. Jacob, the supplanter; but Israel, a prince of God. His new name was given him after he had a new nature. He came face to face with God, and face to face with himself, and fought the battle to a finish. We must have the new nature before we can enter the place of blessing. Jacob came to realize that he had been struggling with God, for he called the place "Peniel," which means "face to face with God." III. Jacob Meeta Esau (33:1-11). God had evidently wrought with Esau, for when Jacob approached him the sting of bitterness was gone. It was not Jacob's scheming that removed Esau's anger, but the action of the Supernatural upon his heart. At Jabbok Jacob got right with God, so when he met Esau it was an easy matter to get right with him. When we are right with God it is an easy matter to get right with our brother. In This Life.

Scott, special assistant, that the Secretary of War has directed as necessary in the military service, that Colonel Charles Young proceed to Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, and report in person to the commanding general at that camp for assignment to duty in connection with the Colored Development Battalions at Camp Grant. 7544 Many press reports, commenting on the American army in France, intimate that the Germans have a wholesome fear of colored troops in action. General Pershing is lavish in his praise of the colored soldiers and has testified officially that they show marvelous coolness under shell fire, and an entire regiment, as well as individual colored soldiers, has been cited for decorations of honor.

There will be three congressmen from the Twin Cities who will stand as a stone wall for equal justice for all men—Thos. D. Schall and Walter Newton of Minneapolis and C. C. Van Dyke of St. Paul. Mr. J. E. Meyers is to be our next mayor. If he is as loyal to the citizens as Mayor Van Lear is to them, he will find them faithful to the end. We notice that many of the newcomers from the South are becoming paid subscribers to the Twin City Star. They have been accustomed to patronizing their own newspapers, where the real news of the Negro is published. The War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities has made provision for the entertainment of a labor battalion of about 1,000 colored troops which has been sent to Camp Kearney, Linda-Vista, Cal., for sanitation work around the camp. This battalion is made up of colored men unfit for overseas duty by reason of minor physical disabilities. Atty. H. L. Scott was defeated for representative in the Fourth ward. He did not get the support of his people because of his badly managed campaign, and made a poor showing. N. A. A. C. P. BUTTONS. Every Member Should Wear One. It is the express wish of the Central Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. that all members should wear a button showing their connection with this organization, that stands for the rights of our race. I have therefore in conformity with that desire received 100 buttons which will be sold to members at the small figure of thirty-five cents (35c) each. The button is very beautifully and artistically made and one which every member should be proud to wear. The Secretary will always have a number of these buttons with him and will take no offense if stopped on the street or anywhere else to purchase one. Let each member have a button. Wear it in a conspicuous place, be prepared to tell what it stands for when questioned and thus advertise the Association for the advancement of colored people. A general meeting will take place as early as is convenient and members are kindly asked to watch the Twin City Star for announcement. R. AUGUSTINE SKINNER, Secretary.

Nearly all the world creatures provide for their families. Many other creatures possess protective coloration. And the rooster— No, we'll take that back— --- MAN THE MASTER Many bugs can see better. Most other animals have a much better developed sense of smell. Many other creatures have the sense of direction, which he lacks entirely. The flea can jump farther in proportion to its size. The spider can teach him things about rope making. The wasps showed him how to make paper. Dumb beasts eat and drink only what is good for them. The rooster cannot beat him at crowing—Youngstown Telegram. FLASHLIGHTS Nothing pleases the average person more than to be called a "real busy man." One can't help wondering just what school of life a man goes to to learn to boast. The man who is loyal to his country would never be disloyal to his wife and children. The man who has spent his money to make others happy need never have any regrets over dying poor. Any pretty girl can get admirers, but there's something to the plain young woman who wins admiration. If it weren't for the neighbors what would some folks do when they needed a hammer or a screwdriver? The world owes no man a living; what it does owe every man is a chance to make a living, and it usually pays him that. Beauty may be only skin deep, but any peach can tell you that it doesn't have to be any thicker to fool the men. —Detroit Free Press.

Gold is being mined at a depth of more than 3,000 feet in South Africa and it is believed that the shafts can be sunk 3,000 feet deeper. An inventor has patented a tool by which live electric wires can be tapped and other wires attached without danger to a person using it. Chinese are estimated to destroy $10,-000,000 worth of gold annually by their custom of burning small pieces of gold leaf on certain anniversaries. Gasoline motor cars on one European railroad have radiators on their roofs to cool water that is used to prevent the motors overheating. SOCIETY Chicago Sends Three, West Virgil Three and New York One—Ass blyman Johnson Defeated for Election in New York City. ONE IN CALIFORNIA (From Our Exchanges.) 'New York City.—Two Negroes wnandidates for the State Legislature in two Harlem districts. E. A. J. Jonson, present assemblyman from the Nineteenth district, was defeated John J. Healy, white. Mr. John claims that he was beaten by the Negro Democrats. He was the first Negro elected to the New York Legislature and made an excellent reco John Clifford Hawkins was elect from the Twenty-first district. The wmen voters took an active part in the election. The absence of many m in war service had much to do with the results. Chicago, Ill.—Hon. Adelbert Roberts, Warren G. Douglass and Editor S. B. Turner have been elected members from the Chicago district as members of the Illinois Legislature. Mr. Roberts is a widely known orator and clerk in the Municipal Court Warren Douglass is a lawyer of splendid literary attainments and S. B. Turner is editor of the Illinois Ide this being his second time to be elected to the Illinois Legislature. Three in West Virginia. Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 9.—Resulting from Tuesday's election three coed men will have seats in the low house when West Virginia's legislature convenes next January, rivaling the record of any state since the day of reconstruction. The successful candidates, nominated in primaries and elected on the Republican ticket, are: J. V. Colemar of Fayette county, formerly postmaster at Kimberly, now engaged in the production of coal; H. J. Capehart of McDowell county, an attorney-at-law, and T. G. Nutter, former grand exalted ruler of the Elks, at present grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias Mr. Nutter is also an attorney. Both Fayette and McDowell counties have had colored legislators before the former three and the latter one but at no time has there been more than one colored representative in the legislature. the nomination and election of these men is considered remarkable for the fact that in none of the counties which they represent is there a majority of colored voters, the percent in McDowell county being 34 Fayette 22 and Kanawha 10. Turpin Elected, Riley and Phillips Defeated. Charles H. Turpin was elected constable in the Fourth district by 992 over O'Donnel and 1229 over O'Brien, the Democratic candidates. Homer G. Phillips, independent candidate for justice of the peace in the Fourth district, was defeated. Phillips received 664 votes. This is considered laudable in as much as it was necessary to scratch one of the candidates and write his name in. The vote for him by ward was: Sixth 108, Sixteenth 91, Seventeenth 465. Total 664. Dr. Riley was evidently counted out, judging by the narrow margin by which he was defeated. It is significant that of 16 men elected to the state legislature, 15 were Republican, and the only Negro Republicans on the ticket was defeated by a white Democrat—St. Louis Argus. (Special to Twin City Star) Race Prejudice Gets Knocked Out. In Los Angeles, Cal., November 5, Mr. Frederick M. Roberts, a welltrained young business man, a Republican candidate, was elected to the state legislature from the 74th Assembly District. Mr. Roberts is the first Colored man in California to be so honored. Notwithstanding the fact that Roberts won the Republican nomination at the August primaries in a field of five aspirants, and which nomination is always equivalent to an election, strong efforts were made to* defeat him, on no issue other than race prejudice. His independent opponent gumshoe around the district passing out his cards. Written on the back thereof of was the inscription, "My Opponent is a Nigger." All fair-minded people resented this attack. Mr. Gahart, the man who put it in vogue, was buried under an avalanche of votes. The final count was Roberts, 2,556; Gahart, 1,794, a majority for Roberts of 726. And thus the 74th Assembly District of the great State of California presents a practical demonstration of real democracy, for be it known, without the support of a very considerable part of the white voters in this district the election of Mr. Roberts would have been impossible. While in this district there is a great big Colored population, the same does not by any means excel that of the white people. Therefore the victory for democracy is cleancut and unquestioned.—The California Eagle.

Probably you received your greatest ed at that time—the old clothes. Your record while at the other university am forced to remind you that you were headwaiter at the University Club), laws too much political knowledge and activities, in connection with other dies, and because of undue familiarity, you were summarily dismissed. We are no information that you brought suit against the management. You are not at the Bar of Judgment or under cross examination under statutes, but judging from your charges against Editor Smith, one would leve that you lost your reputation by his statement of a few facts. Now, it you are a public citizen and have assumed the right to advise and criticize, sumably for public good, your suspicious connection with many events, we necessarily caused the foregoing questions, which you may answer by as" or "No." Should you by explanation prefer to affirm or deny the facts, even offer your accustomed evasion, you have my permission. You may it at the Forum, in public press, on bill boards or by hand bills. The den and method of publicity is cheerfully given to you. It appears to be a loss of type and time to devote this space to Phil. Hale, as it evidently appears that he tried to shake-down the Western Newser Union and annoy the wife of Editor Smith, also "to put the Star out of illness," it is a fair exchange that he be given a shake-up as to his standing the community and made to prove himself either a public benefactor or a fial highwayman. Newspaper publishers are responsible by law for the matter inserted in ir columns. If you had suffered so unjustly as you claimed in your comment, I would have been indicted for criminal libel. But did not you require your stipulation to Mr. Meyst that you would settle if he signed an agreement never to print the Twin City Star? Why do you always "contribute" rmalicious articles to another's paper? It appears that you would own a ser and come out in the open. Should you organize your Y. M. C. A. proposition, try and you may change your ways. Mr. Phillip F. Hale you have been indicted and will be given a fair trial. you are found guilty, the penalty that you are not fit for decent companion-p will be imposed. Public opinion will enforce it. Under the laws of comsation you have no right to appeal and "may the Lord have mercy on soul." You have been labeled, not labeled. Do you wish to be committed to the Attucks Home, State Insane Asylum cremated? THE FLU BAN RAISED.

WORDS OF WISE MEN The greatest homage we can pay to truth is to use it.—Emerson. Let a broken man cling to his work. If it saves nothing else it will save him.—Beecher. The great secret of success in life is for a man to be ready when his opportunity comes.—Disraeli. The truest style of eloquence, secular or sacred, is practical reasoning animated by strong emotion.—Anon. Things that never happen are often as much realities to us in their effects as those that are accomplished.—Dickens. Eloquence is the transference of thought and emotion from one heart to another, no matter how it is done.—Gough. There are men whose independence of principle consists in having no principle on which to depend—whose free thinking consists not in thinking freely, but in being free from thinking, and whose common sense is nothing more than the sense that is most common.—Dr. M. W. Jacobu. There is a broad distinction between character and reputation, for one may be destroyed by slander, while the other can never be harmed save by its possessor. Reputation is in no man's keeping. You and I cannot determine what other men shall think and say about us. We can only determine what they ought to think of us and say about us, and we can only do this by acting squarely up to our convictions. —Holland—Chicago Post. 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 munitions 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 since 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. If the truth could be discovered, probably it would be found that it makes a horsefly pretty sore to try to get blood out of a filver. Of course we have other troubles, but we don't have to press our hair down with one hand while we put our hat on with the other.—Dallas News. NEW READINGS A coaled cellar makes a warm house. It's a short lane that hears no gossip. Truth is not stranger than good fiction. Second thoughts are best, but not second-hand thoughts. The proverb about the pen being mightier than the sword is temporarily canned. STATISTICAL NOTES New York has more than 679,000 registered women voters. United States in 1917 used 5,100 tons of peat in stock foods. United States last year produced 1,216,816 pounds of sheet mica. Pennsylvania railroad now employs 9,854 women to replace men.

Minna Nothing Changed But the Price Nothing Changed But the Price Sight Drafts Still the Same Fine Old Cigar You've Always Liked When your dealer asks you six cents apiece for your old friend Sight Draft, don't get the idea that he is trying to put something over on you. 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. It's worth six cents and you experienced smokers KNOW it is. W. K. Gresh & Sons makers. W. S. Conrad Co., St. Paul, wholesale distributors. —Advertisement.
