IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE VOL. XXXV, NO. 15 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1914 INDIA'S PLEA FOR JUSTICE The Color Question is the Cause of all the Trouble and Misery. MRS. BESANT CHAMPIONS THEIR CAUSE In her recent lecture in London upon the above subject, Mrs. Besant so ably championed the cause of India, her adopted mother country, that the following appeared in the New Statesmen: "Not for years has England heard so much plain good sense about our administration in India as Mrs. Besant put into her speech. This powerful indictment of the whole spirit and working of the British administration—reproduced as it will be in every Nationalist newspaper—will create a sensation in India. No Indian editor would have dared to print it as an editorial. It remains to be seen whether the Indian Government, which will hardly venture to prevent its reproduction in the great Bombay and Calcutta newspapers, will put in force the Press law against the smaller ones. What the Indian Government ought to do is to make a reasoned reply, point by point, and justify the administration that it permits." Of course no one is better fitted to speak of Indian conditions, Indian hopes and Indian aspirations than is Mrs. Besant, because of her long residence there and her intimate relations with all classes of Indian people. In her London lecture she pointed out the crux of the Indian situation and the many conditions which have caused the people of India to raise their voices in an appeal to the Government for a redress of grievances. The national consciousness of India is just stirring in its slumber; for the first time she is feeling her strength as a nation. She has raised her voice in protection of her exiled children in South Africa and has learned that when she thus speaks in public assembly others will have to listen to her; and she will never forget that lesson. With that clear insight which immediately penetrates through hypocrisy and sham profferments of liberty, Mrs. Besant has pointed out the steps which the Government must take to restore to it the confidence and trust of the Indian people. She has said: "If you cannot trust the Indian, after these fifty-six years of patient constitutional working, why do you expect him to trust you? Is it to be wondered at that a feeling of outraged liberty rankles deep in the hearts of the Indian people when the gross injustices of the courts, the misuse of the Press Act by shortsighted magistrates, and imprisonment and deportation without trial or evidence are permitted to go on in the shadow of the Union Jack, which they are expected to reverence as their safeguard and protection? Some of the indignities forced upon even the cultured Indians would do justice to the black reputation of Russia. Flogging has, in some cases, been the punishment for the smallest misdemeanors, while a mere fine of twenty-five rupees is levied against an Anglo-Indian for killing a native, because he "only struck one blow and did not mean to kill." Mrs. Besant points out that the first step which must be taken is the repeal of the Press Act, the Arms Act, and the provision by which it is possible to imprison and deport a native without trial or evidence produced. She shows that one pressing need is the separation of the administrative and judicial functions. This confusion has led to such complications that the Indian has ceased to look for justice in the courts. It is the color line which causes the greatest misery in India. A man with a fair skin may expect some sort justice, but not so the Indian. He must submit to having all the high positions in the government of his own country occupied by men of an alien race: to having young and experienced teachers imported from England and placed above older native teachers in his schools and colleges; and if he wishes to occupy a responsible teaching position himself, he must first go to England to attend an English university before he can be declared eligible. But, on the other hand, only two Indians a year may be admitted in any Oxford college. So it is that Mrs. Besant has said: "What right have you to say they shall not serve in their own country unless they are educated here, and then to make their lives a misery to them when they come by your contempt? That is the question you have to face. You go to these people, who are as highly civilized as yourselves, as highly educated in the educated classes as yourselves, man for man every whit as good as you are, and you say. 'We are going to monopolize all the best places; all the best posts are ours, all the most highly paid, and we will open a little crack of a door by which one or two of you may creep in if you come over to England to get educated and try very hard; but we will make things so disagreeable for you when you come that you will wish you had not come and will want to go back. I ask how far these things are to go? "India is beginning to understand her own strength; she is beginning to realize that you cannot always keep her as a slave; for to tie a man to the soil on which he was born is to make him a serf, as he was in the Middle Ages, when no man might go outside his own parish lest he should become a rogue and a vagabond. You would make the nation dishonored that was civilized and mighty when your ancestors were wandering naked about your forests. These Indians that you scoff at and deride—they are civilized with a civilization that goes back for thousands upon thousands and thousands of years. When they were free they made the greatest literature that the world has ever known, and it is with the revival of the spirit of nationality that their intellectual greatness will once more show itself out in works of originality and of power. Even now they show their ability, and they are pleading with you for freedom. They are not demanding it roughly, as I am demanding it here; for I, a white, am speaking to you white men and women, and have the right to make you understand what you are doing to these our colored friends on the other side of the world. They do not speak as brutally as I am speaking to you, but they feel. Oh, they would love you if you would let them; they ask you to give them their freedom, to let them be free men in a free country." This is India's plea for justice—the voice of an old and mighty nation calling for freedom and recognition from a younger and more virile race to which the great wheel of Karma, in its mysterious cycle, has caused the older to fall subject. It is not that England willfully subordinates India—the British love of justice and fair play, the foundation of the Empire, is too strong for that—but that she is inadvertently neglecting the great responsibility she has assumed. ATTORNEY JONES IN CANADA. Guest of Honor at a Function at Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, Can. (Special to the Washington Bee.) September 7, 1914. This has been a great day in Toronto. More than two hundred thousand people are in the city coming from all over the provinces, and many from the United States, witnessing the great National Exhibition, which has been in progress for several days here. This morning at 11:30 o'clock there was a great parade; it being Labor Day, organizations of every sort and kind representing the different trades participated in the procession. It may be interesting to state that in this great concourse of people composing this parade, and the large number of guests in the various hotels many of whom are colored people from the United States, there has not been heard from any quarter any discordant note on account of racial discrimination, and no color line drawn anywhere, as it is the policy under the British flag no matter what the color of his skin may be every man is alike. On entering the exhibition grounds your correspondence noticed the tall form of Prof. Roht. H. Perrin, Jr., who has just arrived from Niagara Falls. He is the guest of Mr. Simpson, of 104 University Avenue. Mr. Perrin is on his way to Montreal, and will visit Detroit, Buffalo, and other points of interest before returning to Washington. Lawyer Thos. L. Jones, better known as the lame lion, will speak at University Avenue Baptist Church Wednesday evening of this week. Mr. Jones leaves Thursday for his little home about seven miles above Toronto, which he has designated "Rambler's Rest." It is reported that he is endeavoring to have the Government establish a postoffice and name it "Rambler's Rest." Lawyer Jones has grown to be the favorite of the people here. Last night he and Mr. R. H. Perrin, with a large number of friends from Washington, were the guests of honor at a reception which lasted late into the night, and it is reported for the first time that Lawyer Jones danced the tango. Among the young men who attended this function, Prof. Perrin was the favorite among the Toronto/belles. And the writer advises the young lady of Washington who has her eyes on him to be ware of the "Ides of March." Lawyer Jones is traveling incognito but it is understood that Mrs. Jones, who is now in Detroit, Mich., visiting her daughter, will join her husband at Rambler's Rest the last of the week. Mr. Jones has accepted an invitation to be the guest of his friend from Scranton, Pa., at the Hotel King Edward Thursday at 1 P. M. He and Dr. Perrin are guests at the hotel today. Executive Order. September 4, 1914. In pursuance of the authority conferred upon the President of the United States by Section 2 of the J. H. JUDGE DANIEL THI WRIGHT Who Made a Noble Defense Before the McCoy Investigating Committee Act approved August 18, 1914, entitled "An Act to provide for the admission of foreign-built ships to American registry for the foreign trade, and for other purposes," it is hereby ordered: 1. That the provisions of the law prescribing that the watch officers of vessels of the United States registered for foreign trade shall be citizens of the United States, are hereby suspended so far and for such length of time as is herein provided, namely: All foreign-built ships which shall be admitted to United States registry under said act may retain the watch officers employed thereon without regard to citizenship for seven years from this date, and such watch officers shall be eligible for promotion. Any vacancy occurring among such watch officers within two years from this date may be filled without regard to citizenship; but any vacancies which may occur thereafter shall be filled by a watch officer who is a citizen of the United States. 2. That the provisions of law requiring survey, inspection and measurement by officers of the United States, of foreign-built ships admitted to United States registry under said act are hereby suspended for two years from this date. WOODROW WILSON. ONE OF THE 306. He Doesn't Think Much of Existing Conditions. Prof. John H. Jackson, of Columbus, Ohio, and one of the best known educators and business men in the State of Ohio, has been in the city for several days, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Fortune in Vermont Avenue. Before he arrived in the city he was interviewed by the Standard Union of Brooklyn, New York. Among other things, he said: "I came to New York especially to visit the tomb of General Grant. I happened to be one of the '306' who favored Grant for a third term at the National Convention held at Chicago in 1880. I am probably the youngest member of that memorable convention, which was directed by such leaders as Roscoe Conkling, Don Cameron, John A. Logan, William O. Bradley and James A. Garfield. I was a delegate from the State at large from Kentucky. "Almost all the men who took conspicuous parts in that convention have passed over the river, have gone to join the silent majority, and those left behind will ere long join them to play their parts in other spheres of action." When asked as to the political outlook in Ohio this fall, Prof. Jackson replied: "President Wilson's tariff policy, which has resulted in paralyzing many of our industries, together with his race segregation policy at Washington, has been a great disappointment to those of us who had expected better things from one who had been president of Princeton University. In my judgment, Ohio will go Republican this fall by a handsome majority." Mr. Jackson is accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, treasurer of the National'Association of Colored Women's Clubs. New Brass Band. A general rehearsal was called Thursday evening, September 10, at the residence of Mr. A. F. Johnson, for the purpose of organizing a brass band. Mr.J. E. Olden and his friends have been putting forth every effort to get the best musical talent for this band. They have been greatly rewarded, as they had a large gathering of some of the best band men who rendered the selections with facility. Every one was pleased, and the opinion of the most skeptic is that we will have a first-class band to present to 'the Washington music lovers. Band men, get on the band wagon. PARAGRAPHIC NEWS. Between 900 and 1,000 ships go up and down the English Channel every day in the year. The great bronze statue of Freedom surmounting the Capitol dome is 19 feet, 6 inches high and weighs nearly 15,000 pounds. Lambert's Point Hospital is the name of the hospital nearing completion in Norfolk, Va., for the exclusive care of colored people only. The cost is a little more than $10,000. The hospital will contain quarters for sixteen patients, being amply provided with modern operating rooms and facilities, waiting rooms, verandas and all modern conveniences. Work on the structure was begun June 15 and is expected to be completed by November 1. The cornerstone was laid last Friday. This is the first time in the history of Virginia that a cornerstone has been laid for a building designed solely for the care of colored people. "What did people do before steel pens were invented?" asked the teacher. "The pinions of one goose were used to spread the opinions of another," answered the wise boy at the pedal extremity of the class. The people of London in 1416 hung out candles upon dark nights, and it was not enforced by parliament until 1601, the year after the great fire. Edward Heming, inventor of the oil lamp, was engaged in 1864 to place a light before every tenth door on moonless nights. Oxen and sheep fatten better in company than when kept alone. The Peruvian torpedo-boat destroyer Teniente Rodriguez has the distinction of being the first war ship of any country to pass through the Panama Canal, making the trip from ocean to ocean. A Washingtonian from the European war zone tells how a friend of his got his money changed. He went to a branch post office, ordered and paid for five postal money orders of one pound each, payable to himself, and later received in return for each a pound note, all of which he was finally able to get changed with more or less difficulty. The cocoanat palm has leaves nearly thirty feet long. A beautiful bit of verse on life by George Du Maurier: A little work, a little play To keep us going—and so good day; A little warmth, a little light Of love's bestowing—and so good night, A little fun to match the sorrow Of each day's growing—and so good morrow. We reap our sowing—and so good bye. Hon. John P. Green, of Cleveland, Ohio, formerly of this city, is known as the "Daddy of Labor Day." The first Labor Day bill was written by Mr. Green, attorney-at-law, room 217 American Building, Cleveland, Ohio, in 1890. He was then a member of the Ohio Legislature and personally introduced his bill before the Sixty-ninth General Assembly of the State of Ohio, at that time Democratic. The bill was strenuously opposed in the committee, but when it came before the main body for passage, the Hon. John P. Green was very much in evidence. He made an eloquent plea in defense of the bill and urged its passage because of its unusual importance, and then dared the Democrats to kill his bill. The bill passed. Epworth League The Epworth League of Asbury Church held a son service at the church last Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large number of its members and visitors. The program was excellently arranged, and the musical renditions were fine, especially the quartette, "Nearer My God to Thee," in which Miss Bertina Mason, Mrs Helen C. Smith, Mr. Furrle Gibbs and Mr. C. Sunner Peale participated. Miss Rozier Esther rendered a very pretty vocal solo. Recitation, "Ninety and Nine," by Miss Julia Mason. Essay by Miss Katie West, any many other interesting numbers were rendered. This Epworth League is one of the most popular and beneficial organizations in the church. Bro. Pope at Raleigh. Raleigh. Rev. John W. Pope and his wife have been in this place and attended the Doctors' Convention. They were the guests of Dr. J. O. Plummer. While here Rev. Pope spoke at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Askew, pastor of Congregational Church addressed the ministers' conference Monday evening. He addressed the Lott Cary Convention and the nurses of St. Agnes Hospital, Augustine, N. C. PROF. HUGH M. BROWN. The Great Educator Returns From Abroad—Many Interesting Things to Relate. Prof. Hugh M. Brown, one of the greatest educators in the United States and one of Washington's favorite sons, has returned to the city from abroad. Prof. Brown has been traveling throughout Europe studying educational methods in the greatest colleges in Europe. There is no man in the colored race that possesses greater educational knowledge than this great scholar and educator. In speaking to a representative of The Bee, Prof. Brown said much in regards to the great conflict in Europe. He is enjoying the best of health. Miss Anna M. Mason Miss Anna M. Mason, one of the best known teachers and elocutionists in the colored-public schools in this city, who went to France last summer at the close of the schools, has arrived in the city. Miss Mason had an exciting time while in Paris. Miss Katie Moten. Miss Katie Moten, one of the best known young women in this city, and sister to Dr. Luck E. Moten, principal of Normal School No. 2, died last week and was buried Wednesday afternoon. Miss Anna M. Mason, who was stranded in Germany and succeeded in reaching Paris, lost all of her haggage and money. A bomb was thrown and struck within one and a half squares of her domicile while in Paris. A full account of her trip will appear in the next issue of The Bee. A. Great Picnic One of the best picnics of the season was given on Labor Day at Kastle Park, D. C., at which many enjoyed themselves in various ways. The principal event of the day was a baseball game between the single and the married men, which was won by the former. Those in charge of the affair were Mr. Stephen O. Plummer (committee chairman), assisted by Messrs. Ferdinand Bradley, Raymond Cole, Walter Lawson, Herman Newman and George Walton. Mr. J. William Monroe was the general manager. The party was composed of the following: Mr. and Mrs. Albert Adams, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley, Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Carroll, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. R.

Plummer, Dean Dogans, Wm. Thomas, Raymond Cole, Frank Thompson, Geo. Walton, Dr. Simmons, Hermon Newman. THE ODD FELLOWS THE ODD FELLOWS Houston Jubilant. It is quite likely that the fight among the Odd Fellows at Boston, Mass., next week will be a hot one. There are many candidates in the field for the grand mastership of the order. In an interview with Ex-Grand Master W. L. Houston he asserted with much vehemence that he would win the fight against Morris. He pulled a letter out of his pocket from one of the New York delegates, whom he said declared that he. Houston, could count him in for him, Houston. On the other hand, the Morris forces are not saying a word, but quietly sawing wood, and the blow that the opposition will receive at Boston will "jolt father," remarked an independent delegate. The Color Line In War In an article printed in the Independent, Count von Bernstorff, the German Ambassador, expresses himself as "unconditionally" opposed to the use of Asiatic and African troops in a European war. This is a curious prejudice on the part of the diplomatic representative of a Government that is seeking to bring Turkey into the conflict and trying to persuade the Turk to instigate a "holy war" in Egypt and India against all non-Mohammedans. When Germany went to war with the British Empire she must have expected to fight the British Empire, and not merely a selected part of the population, the color of whose skin happened to meet the approval of Berlin. It is natural enough that Great Britain should bring up her Indian troops, who, by the way, are as completely identified with the Aryan, race as the Prussians. But no matter what their race may be, they are part of the empire, and part of Great Britain's regular military power. If Germany were at war with the United States her troops would have to meet our Negro cavalry, than whom there are no better soldiers in uniform. German denunciation of the Indian troops is as futile as German denunciation of the Japanese as "yellow-bellies." It is too late to draw the color line in war. That line was erased more than fifty years ago by Abraham Lincoln in that noble letter to the Springfield Convention: "And there will be some black men who can remember that, with silent tongue and clenched teeth and steady eye and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation." Dr. Booker T. Washington to Visit Euroe. London, England, Sept. 1.—The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society of London announces the intention of Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, to visit Europe early next year with the object of lecturing upon the progress of the Negro people. Dr. Washington will speak at a demonstration during the Free Church Congress to be held in Leicester in March, and will then pay a visit to several cities in the kingdom before going to Brussels, Berlin and Paris. He will probably return to England for further engagements in April and May. Request for the services of Dr. Washington may be sent direct to him, or through the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, Denison House, Vauxhall Bridge, Road S. W. Mr. Andrew Carnegie is taking considerable interest in the tour and has written as follows: "Dear Mr. Harris: I am greatly pleased to hear that Dr. Booker T. Washington is coming to Europe next spring to lay before public opinion some facts concerning the progress of the Negro race. I know of no better or as able to do this as Dr. Washington, who, as I wrote you on a former occasion, is a Joshua and Moses combined. "If I can be of any further assistance to you in making this tour a success, kindly let me know. Very truly yours, (Signed) "Andrew Carnegie." LEON PERRY A Washington Boy, Appointed. Leon Perry, a Washington boy, has been appointed to succeed Mr. M. L. Madden, at Blue Plain Industrial School. Mr. Perry is a bright young man, and he comes from one of the leading families in this city. He was highly recommended, not by the politicians, but by citizens. Commissioner Siddons made the appointment. The Bee congratulates Mr. Perry and wishes him success, and extends its thanks to Commissioner Siddons. Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Mrs. Ralph W. Tyler left the city for her home in Columbia, Ohio, Wednesday. She will be joined by her husband, Mr. Ralph W. Tyler, who will leave today. Mr. Tyler has purchased a handsome new home in Columbus near the University, where their two boys will attend. THE COLORED SOLDIER There has been, from time to time, two or three different bills introduced in the House of Representatives tending to segregate the race on account of color. Ever since the Democratic party has had control of both branches of Congress strenuous efforts have been made to humiliate the colored Americans in every particular. Representative Madder, of Illinois, no doubt the greatest American in the legislative arena, is the only man who has risen in defense of this great race of people. The House, in committee of the whole, on the state of the Union, has under consideration the bill (H. R. No. 1741) making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government, ending June 30, 1914. Mr. Martin B. Madden, of Illinois, June 8, took up the defense of the American Negro by convincing the Democratic House and other enemies of the colored Americans what the colored soldiers have done in all wars and enemies of this Republic. No race of people have been any more loyal and patriotic than the Negro soldier. In no war from the day of the Revolution to the Spanish-American War has one Negro traitor been found—not even against his enemies or those who were enslaving him. The Negro slave was true to his master, against those who were enslaving to perpetuate him in claims. In this great speech, to which the Editor of The Bee is indebted to his friend, Attorney Royal A. Hughes, a member of the local bar, Mr. Madder makes a great and noble defense in behalf of the Negro soldier. Mr. Madder begins with 1792 to 1815. He declared that "nearly all Europe was little else than an army camp." The Crimean War, indeed was but an echo of the twenty-three years of deadly conflict between the nations." Again he says: "The struggle of 1854-1856 involved all Russia, England, France and Italy." Of the 12,000,000 Negro American you cannot find a traitor among them and you would find every one willing and ready to fight for his country against a common foe." Mr. Madden warned the Democratic House, or those who have been among the leaders to segregate the colored Americans and fasten the chains of oppression tighter around their necks. But who can tell how soon these loyal blacks will be needed? Who can tell what these faithful black allies will be able to do when called upon by their country? In speaking of the great value of the Negro soldier and his patriotism and heroism he referred to the valor and patriotism of Caleb Barbour, a free Negro of New York, who aided General Anthony Wayne to capture from the British Stony Point, July 16, 1779. This was the greatest act of heroism and bravery that was ever performed by a Revolutionary Negro. This place had been taken from the Americans, but when this Negro led the way for the American forces to recapture this place none but a Negro was able to do it, which defeated the British and won the war. Many interesting incidents as to the Negro's valor and heroism were referred to in Mr. Madden's address in defense of the colored race against the Democratic indictments of segregation and discrimination against the colored American. If Andrew Jackson found merit in the Negro, which Mr. Madden showed by a proclamation to the Negroes at Mobile, September 21, 1814, General Jackson admitted that by mistake of policy the Negroes were deprived of their rights. This is the declaration of the exponent of the Democratic party. George Washington commended the Negro and invited all free Negroes to join the army. What have we today? What can colored men expert from the Democratic party today? To the home of Southern Democracy the Negroes read with aching hearts—the most damnable and the most selfish declarations that fall from the lips of men who should be grateful and silent with their tongues if nothing more. On February 22, 1914, Mr. Edwards, of Georgia, introduced a bill in the House of Representatives directing the heads of all the executive departments to remit the Negroes. That is, that while clerks shall not be permitted to work along the side of colored clerks. June 10, 1913, Mr. Aswell, of Louisiana, introduced a similar bill to that of Mr. Edwards. June 17, 1913, Mr. Harrison, of Mississippi introduced a bill for separate street cars. The Ree would like to know if the record of colored soldiers from the days of the Revolutionary to the Spanish-American wars deserves any such treatment as they are receiving at the hands of the Democratic party today. Modern civilization shows that the colored soldiers are fearless and are the only true Americans today to stand up in defense of their country. Andrew Jackson admitted that the Negroes were being deprived of their civil and political rights. He knew that the Negro soldier could fight. The Bee feels confident that, before the end of the present European conflict, this country will be involved, as careful as the President may be to avert it. Then the colored American will be needed. Will the Democratic South show its patriotism? Then the Negro will be needed, notwithstanding what the may be or what prejudice may exist against him. "The Negro had in the Civil War about 178,975 colored troops," declared Mr. Madden, "and the deaths amounted to about 36,847, which represents thirty-six states." Instead of the so-called statesmen from Georgia and Mississippi abusing and attempting to inaugurate legislation to check the Negro or impede his progress, they had better see to it that their State adopts measures to educate their ignorant whites and blacks. The blacks are anxious to learn; the poor whites are too lazy to study. Some people have an idea that their color will carry them through. There was a time when color was a great lever in Negro society, but it doesn't count now. The speech of Mr. Madden should be in the hands of every colored American. It is what all true Americans would say is an eloquent and logical defense of their cause as citizens and soldiers. NAVIES' BIG PART IN WARS. Outcome of This Struggle to Depend on Success of Ships. London.—What part will the navies of the world play in the European conflict? The surest way to get at the answer is to examine the part navies have played in other wars and those who turned over the edges of their histories yesterday, if they went back far enough, found that twenty great sea fights have molded the history of the world and determined the national boundaries of the globe. It was the fleet of Nelson that twice curbed the activities of Napoleon when all Europe's armies had been conquered. Perry on Lake Erie with his wooden fleet of sailing vessels turned the tide in 1812, when it looked as if the United States was to be placed completely under the heel of Great Britain's power. Later during the civil war the Union men of war rendered invaluable service to the military by blockading the coast, and finally two battles practically determined the result of the Spanish-American war. In the spring of 1798 Napoleon's armies had swept Europe and the fleet of French ships at Toulon was menacing England. More than 400 ships, including transports, were awaiting Napoleon's bidding at Toulon in southern France on the Mediterranean, and none knew what their objective was. To Lord Nelson was given the task of coping with the great French fleet and frustrating the purpose of Napoleon. While Nelson was watching Toulon a storm scattered his fleet and gave the French a chance to get out and away unobserved. After cruising about the Mediterranean the fleets came together off the mouth of the Nile Aug. 1, 1798, and the English were victorious. This defeat proved the forerunner of Napoleon's ultimate downfall, according to some historians. The Frenchman found himself and his army bottled up in Egypt and the English in command of the Mediterranean. SALESGIRLS TAUGHT VALUE OF SMILES School Also Gives Instruction How to Dress. Milwaukee, Wis.-The money value of a smile and a pleasant voice is being taught in a most convincing manner to young women clerks of Milwaukee in salesmanship classes recently established in the city continuation school, an institution which is attracting such wide attention that its methods and results are being investigated by visiting delegations of educators from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Paul, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities, even those as far west as the Pacific coast. "Always greet your customer with a smile and wait upon him or her pleasant and cheerfully. GOLD MINE UNDER HIS FEET Alaska Miner Finds, He Had Lived Over Golden Riches Nine Years. Fairbanks, Alaska - George Sharp, a miner of Pedro Creek, lived over a fortune over nine years before he knew that the fortune existed. Sharp when he first came to the Fairbanks district located a claim on the right limit of Pedro Creek opposite No. 2 and prospected for gold on the claim at different times ever since. He spent most of his time searching for the yellow stuff on his other holdings, apparently neglectful of the possibilities right under the floor of nincabin. A few weeks ago Sharp sank a shaft near his cabin, got some prospects and then tunneled on bed rock for ten feet or so. He encountered coarse gold, some fair sized nuggets being included in the dust obtained after sluicing a small dump Ducks Crawl Field Gold St. Helens, Ore. S. Saulser, a farm er living near Yankton, came into town with several pieces of natural gold. Mr Saulser killed eight ducks and each time found little nuggets of solid gold in the ducks' craws. His duck pen is on a side hill of rock. Experts tell him there is probably a pocket of placer gold on his place.

Have The Bee sent to your home SEEKING GOOD WILL OF U. S. England Wants America to View War England Wants America to View War as Fight on Autocracy. London.-England is grateful for America's favorable opinion which the numerous dispatches to the London newspapers described as being almost wholly on the side of the allies. To England one curious development of this war is that American public opinion has become something of appreciable value. Hitherto in great world questions America's opinion has amounted to little and has received slight consideration. Now, however, the good will of the United States is eagerly sought, and it is realized that when the end comes Washington will play an important part in the settling. England is not asking for direct American support, fully realizing that America's duty is strict neutrality, but the governments of the allies, the public men and the newspapers urge America to think that this is a fight against autocracy and military dictatorship which, if it ended successfully for the kaiser, would leave America in a dangerous position. The only point of irritation which has appeared here is the possibility of German ships being transferred to the American flag and transporting food to Holland, whence it will be shipped to the German army. It is considered that this is a doubtful question of pure neutrality. Some commentators profess some agitation on this point, while others take the view that America can be depended on to observe all the proprieties. SAILORS MOURN FOR NELSON. Every Man In British Service Wears Black Scarf. London.—British sailors have on their uniforms perpetual reminders of the navy's glorious past, though not every one who wears them knows that the three rows of white tape round the edging of the blue collar and the black silk scarf knotted in front are links with Nelson. The white tapes commemorate Nelson's famous victories—Copenhagen, the Nile and Trafalgar—and the scarf is a token of perpetual mourning for the great admiral, adopted by the seamen themselves and retained ever since. POLAND'S DOWNFALL CAME VERY RAPIDLY Washington.—The Poland of 1715 was larger than any other European country, with the exception of Russia. Today it has no political entity, says the National Geographical society, in a statement just issued. Two centuries ago its domain reached from the Battle to the Carpathians and stretched from east to west for a distance of approximately 600 miles. "The first partition of Poland came in 1722, when Prussia and Austria, alarmed by the progress of Russia in Poland, suggested, as a means of maintaining the equilibrium of Europe, that all three powers readjust their territories at the expense of Poland," says the society's bulletin. "Poland lay utterly hopeless. She lost about one-fifth of her population and one fourth of her territory. The second partition, in 1752, reduced Poland to one third of her original dimensions, with a population of about 3,500,000. A third treaty of partition was signed in 1796. The congress of Vienna, in 1815, divided Poland between Prussia, Austria and Russia, with the exception of Cracow, which was erected into a republic embedded in Galicia. Posen and Gnesen, with a population of 510,000, were left to Prussia. Austria remained in possession of Galicia, with its 1,500,000 inhabitants. Lithuania and the Ruthenian Palatinate continued to be incorporated with Russia. The remnant was constituted as the so called Congress Kingdom, under the emperor of Russia as the king of Poland. "In the same year Alexander I. granted the new kingdion a constitution, which declared it to be united to Russia, in the person of the czar as a separate political entity. Poland retained its flag and a national army. In 1830, following the outbreak of the French revolution, a military revolt took place in Warsaw. This war lasted for ten months, and at its conclusion the Congress Kingdom was reduced to the position of a Russian province. The last remaining remnant of Poland's separate political existence was Cracow, and it was finally occupied by Austria in 1816. The last attempt of the Poles to achieve independence was in 1833. It was marked by no real battle and the uprising was soon repressed. The national history of Poland closes with this attempt at freedom. In 1868, by use of the emperor of Russia, the government was absolutely incorporated with that of Russia, and the use of the Polish language in public places and for public purposes was prohibited. "Russian Poland contains the first line of defense of the Russian empire on its western frontier. The marshy lowlands, covered with forests on the western bank of the Vistula, offer a natural defense against an army advancing from the west, and they are strengthened by a number of fortresses on that river. The center of these latter is Warsaw." ESKIMOS NOT PAGAN. Have Religious Books and Practically All Can Read and Write. Ottawa. According to a census bulletin giving some details of Canada's farthest north population, there are some 600 Eskimos in Ungava. On the east coast of Hudson bay and on the west coast and in the Churchill district the total population is given as 1,588, of whom 1,360 are Eskimos, 180 Indians, 26 half breeds and 22 whites. Some interesting information is given as to the character and habits of life of the Dominion's population in the northern wilds. Speaking of the Eskimos on the east coast of Hudson bay, Rev. R.G.J. Renison, archdeacon of Moossee, who took the census, says: "Of 600 Eskimos thought to be living on the east coast of Hudson bay, 542 names were obtained. The names are stated to be thoroughly reliable, but the ages would be pure guesswork. "In calling most of them pagans it must be remembered that they are so in name only, since all of them have their religious books and practically every one of the age of ten can read them. Heathen practices are a thing of the past. The majority of the people live in the most squalid conditions and are destitute of proper clothing through the failure of the deer, which long ago were numerous along the east coast of Hudson bay." The report of Courtlandt Starnes, commissioner of customs at Fort Churchill and local superintendent of the royal, northwest mounted police, covered the western shores of Hudson bay from Fort Churchill to the northern extremity of Melville peninsula. Mr. Starnes divided the work into three parts and appointed an enumerator for each. Some of the work was done on trails covered heavily with snow and with the temperature never above 40 below zero. Sergeant Hayter reported that the people in his district had no idea whatever of their age and they knew nothing of our divisions of time. They are sometimes polygamists, sometimes polyandrists. They are fond of children, but change them about, adopting some or giving their own away, according to convenience, so that it was hard to reckon by families. Berlin - Automobiles and other means of motor traction, it is stated, are being used to a very large extent by the Germans. At Coblenz 475 automobiles arrived from eastern Germany, each equipped for the transportation of wounded in being provided with a special ambulance body, capable of carrying six men. The intention of the German military authorities is to ```markdown ``` TYPE OF ARMORED AUTO AND ARTILLERY DRAWN BY MOTORCAR. take all wounded to the nearest city base instead of establishing field hospitals. Automobiles and traction engines are also used for the moving of supplies. Through Dietz, Rhenish Prussia, thirty-seven armored motorcars passed on a single day, each carrying two machine guns housed in a revolving turret. Traction engines are also used by the Germans to haul their heavy artillery, some of it having in this manner been taken long distances. In the field, however, horses are being used, the impression being that owing to the heavy traffic on the railroads of western Germany the method of transporting artillery saved much time. German and Austrian newspapers insist that the war against Russia, France and England is a "holy" war, because the extinction of the two peoples is said to be aimed at. Their propaganda seems to have had results. In Germany 1,400,000 volunteers are ready to bear arms, and in Austria and Hungary a similar force is being raised, estimated at present at about 400,000 men. Both countries, it is said here, lack the equipment necessary to place these men in the field. With every factory of arms and ammunition working day and night at full capacity and with plants suitable to the production of munitions pressed into this service it is hoped to meet this situation soon. FIGHTING KINGS CLOSELY RELATED German Emperor Blood Kin to Nearly All His Opponents. WAR A BIG FAMILY QUARREL Remarkable Resemblance Between King George of England and Czar Nicholas of Russia—They Are First Couaine—Nearly All Reigning Monarchs Decendants of Victoria. London. Analyze the blood relationships existing among the monarchs of the warring unions of Europe and the great conflict now in progress becomes strictly a family quarrel involving particularly the children and grandchildren of the gentle Victoria. George V. of England, William II. of Germany and the czarina of Russia are all grandchildren of Victoria. So are the kaiser's brother, Prince Henry of Prussia; the Duke of Saxe-Coburg, the Grand Duke of Hesse, Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein and the three princes of the house of Battenberg, all of whom are officers in the German army. On the English side is M. H. Photo 1. American Press Association. THEY LOOK LIKE TWINS—KING GEORGE OF ENGLAND (102) CZAR NICHOLAS OF RUSSIA (111,112) mother of Victoria's grandchildren, Prince Arthur of Commaught, who will promise his cousin, the Kaiser. Should Norway become involved, another Landchild, Queen Mand, sister of King George, would be brought into the conflict. Greece would add another in the person of Queen Sophia, sister of Kaiser Wilhelm, and Spain would add Queen Victoria Eugenie. Czar Nicholas and his empress are both first cousins of King George, and his whole family has intermarried so thoroughly with the German royal houses that in blood the Romanoffs are is German as is the kaiser. Franz Josef of Austria is connected by many blood ties with both the kaiser and the czar and by both blood and marriage with King Albert of Belgium. France alone as a republic has no ties with the other nations, though if the Bonaparte and Bourbon pretenders should be counted she would be related to other royal families. Each of the four great emperors at war-George, William, Nicholas and Franz Josef-finds himself now in the position of a soldier fighting against his own regiments and his own commander in chief. Each of them bears military rank in the armies and navies of the others. The kaiser is a colonel of the Imperial Russian bodyguard, admiral of the Russian fleet, colonel of the First British royal dragoons and fleet admiral in the English navy Nicholas is colonel of the Prussian grenadiers of the guard and a German idmiral. Here are some of the ties of kindship that do not bind the European nations together: King George V. is first cousin to Kaiser Wilhelm, the czar and czarin of Russia, King Haakon of Norway, King Christian of Denmark, Queen Victoria of Spain; brother of Queen Maud of Norway and nephew of King Constantine of Greece. Kaiser Wilhelm is first cousin to King George, brother of Queen Sophin of Greece, nephew of the English Duke of Connaught and second cousin of Czar Nicholas. Czar Nicholas is first cousin to King George, cousin of the kaiser, nephew of King Christian of Denmark and King Haakon of Norway, brother-in-law to the Grand Duke of Hesse and cousin by marriage to Franz Josef of Austria, King Nicholas of Monnegro. Queen Helene of Italy and first cousin to Crown Princess Cecilia of Germany Over 13,000,000 Persons of Foreign Birth In This Country Today. Washington.—A special bulletin issued by the department of commerce shows that there were 13,515,886 persons of foreign birth living in the United States when the last census closed in 1910. These figures show an increase of approximately 3,500,000 over the number of foreigners residing here in 1900. The increasing ratio is slightly in excess of the general increase in population. Approximately 10 per cent of this foreign born population live in New York. The census statistics show that 1,221,013 took up permanent residences in New York, although only 475,000 have become citizens of the United States. Pennsylvania ranks second as a permanent abode of foreigners, with 741,000. The majority of these people are miners. Illinois has a foreign population of 604,000 and Massachusetts has 453,000. Germans represented more than one-fifth of the entire foreign population. There were 2,501,181 Germans scattered through the country. The tremendous Russian immigration during the last decade places the czar's subjects in second place with 1,602,000. Italy was third with 1,343,000, and Ireland, which formerly led the list, was in fourth place with 1,253,000. There were 1,174,000 Austrians in this country and 876,455 Englishmen. RINGS BELL, TREES BEAR. Then Bruin Outstays Wyoming Veteran Waiting For a Gun. Worland, Wyo. — Meeting a large black bear while carrying supplies on horseback to a sheep camp. "Dad" Worland, sixty-two, after whom this town is named, boldly charged the animal, although unarmed, violently changing a sheep bell. The bear hesitated an instant, then tore for the timber at top speed and climbed the first available tree. Worland kept it treed for several hours, clanging the bell whenever it showed a disposition to come down, in the hope that some person with a gun would pass by. It was necessary for him to continue his journey after several hours. When he last saw the bear it was still in the tree. CANAL WILL CHANGE WORLD'S GEOGRAPHY Washington, D. C.-The National Geographic society has issued a statement on the probable effect of the Panama canal on the commercial geography of the world. It says: "It seems that the Panama canal will carry most of the freight passing between the eastern coast of the United States and the western coast of Latin America and that the shorter distance and lower rates which it offers will greatly increase that trade that the trade between the eastern and western sections of the United States will be greatly increased and transported at a much lower charge per ton; that it will sufficiently shorten the distances to Japan, northern China, Australia and New Zealand to increase steamship service and materially increase the traffic with these countries, and that the European countries will use the canal in most of their trade with western America and, in exceptional cases, with northern Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The canal has shortened travel routes between New York and Yokohama by 3,750 miles; between New York and Shanghai, about 2,000 miles; between New York and Australia, about 2,000 miles; and between New York and western South America by from 3,750 to 7,000 miles. It also reduces the distance from Europe to western South America by more than 5,000 miles. International commerce doubled in the thirty years following the opening of the Suez canal and business and personal interrelationship between the resident and ornament was increased in like proportion. Will similar results follow the like shortening of trade and travel routes by the Panama canal? "One of the most important results of the opening of the canal will doubtless be found in its effect upon the movements of merchandise between the eastern and western sections of the United States. The data at hand seems to justify an estimate of about 300,000 tons per annum of freight moved by rail and about half a million tons by water from the Atlantic coast section to the Pacific coast section and about an equal amount from the Pacific coast section and Hawaii to the Atlantic coast section. The freight charges on these 700,000 tons are estimated at from $200,000 to $300,000,000 per annum. The canal will chop huge amounts from these charges." Trenton, N. J.-The saying that chicken always come home to roost was verified in court here when Betty, a pet hen, drew across the courtroom and, into the outstretched arms of Patrick McGione. McGione was arrested while carrying the chicken, as a policeman thought he had stolen it. The defendant was released after the hen had demonstrated her affection for him. PRESS MUZZLED BY KITCHENER Secretary For War Bosses Troops and Newspapers. RULES WITH AN IRON HAND What He Wants Printed Is Printed, and When He Says "No" the Story Goes Into the Wastebasket—English Not Enthusiastic For War, but They Welcome It Now Since It Started. London.—The censorship of war news is the most complete and rigid and all embracing censorship that was ever enforced since censorship was invented. Nothing whatever was given out in the early days of the war except that which favored the British side. It was obvious that the Germans were moving remorselessly on, even if they were not moving much faster than a glacier. But the newspapers were only allowed to print news of more or less doubtful Belgian victories. They grew resivec under it, but that was all the good it did them. Lord Kitchener is in command. "Kitch" likes a newspaper man about as well as a jeweler likes a safe blower. There are times when Kitchener wants something published. Most times he wants nothing whatever printed. On this occasion he called the London newspaper men together. He said he wanted to confer with them. The newspaper men decided-before they met Kitchener-to offer not to publish anything which might anticipate any movement of the troops or in any other way embarrass officials. "I shall establish a news bureau," said Kitchener in that peculiarly grim and uncompromising way he has, "and through it all the news the government wishes published will be given out." The conversation went all to pieces at that point. "Kitch" looked at the newspaper men. They looked at "Kitch." By and by one of them said fearlessly: "Very good, sir." "And if anything is published which is contrary to the desires of the gov- [Name] LORD KITCHENER ernment," added Lord Kitchener, "we shall take away the license to publish of that book." Perhaps it was because of this complete failure of news sources—for the public was quick to detect that the other side of the situation was not being made known—that explained the attitude of the London public during that period in which war and slaughter were incubating. Only one thing was known, and that but vaguely. That was that every day regiments left—for somewhere. There were days in which one could not stand upon a corner in London that one did not hear up some street or down some twisted thoroughfare the strains of martial music. Ity and by. If one waited long enough, one would see the streams of little, brown clad men shuttling along awkwardly enough in ill fitting boots and clumsy uniforms, going somewhere. There were never any cheers. The London crowds stood stolldly upon the curbs and watched them out of sight. Dread and uncertainty seemed palpable. No one knew what had happened All Englishmen speaking generally —spend the best part of their lives out of doors. Six days a week they may work in a shop. The seventh they will be where the sun and rain can get a chance at them. Add another penny to his income tax and the Englishman will only growl; interfere with his recreation and he will talk of sacred rights and revolution. The upper classes have their golf courses and their tennis grounds and their cricket ovals. The workaday Englishman goes to the races on bank holidays. What has happened? Many of the athletic fields have been taken over by the government for camp grounds and drills and hospitals. This includes some of the really historic fields in the United Kingdom. There will be mighty little cricket in England this fall. In some parts of the kingdom football will practically be abandoned until happier times. ulty made of Constitutions and Pamph S OFFICE and PLANT, 1109 EYE STREET PHONE MAIN 4078 Specialty made of Constitutions and Pamphlets BUSINESS OFFICE and PLANT, 1109 EYE STREET.

Not only was Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been held up through all the ages as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also. A new book entitled "The Black Man Was the Father of Civilization." This book defends its title exclusively by the Bible and therefore has nothing to fear. This book is illustrated with many pictures. Price, $1.00 by mail. The following comment is from the Seattle Daily Post Intelligencer: Elder J. M. Webb, evangelist of the Church of God, in his book describes the black man as the father of all civilization. He takes the Bible to show that the fathers of the church and all the great leaders, even the Greatest One, was black. Mr. Webb's work is able and thoughtful. Whether the Anglo-Saxon believes him or not, Mr. Webb writes what he believes to be true about his race and their place in Biblical history.

LIGHT BREAKING In another column of this paper will be found an article bearing on the incident of some time ago to which the Canadian Government and three hundred and sixty Sikhs were the principals, respectively, while Great Britain was an aider and abetter, and Japan an interested party. The Sikhs sought admission into British Columbia and were not permitted to disembark on the ground that they were adjudged to be undesirable persons, albeit they were certified by the authorities in India to be above the average British subject as to mental and moral attainments and competency. Considering the fact that both parties directly concerned were British subjects, and that the injured parties were conveyed to Vancouver in a Japanese steamer, the case becomes one of unusual interest. The undesirability of the Sikhs, it would seem, consisted in the fact that they were not white persons so-called. The Los Angeles Daily Times, in dealing with the incident, has made no bones in ascribing the cause to be that of color, prejudice, pure and simple; and in a most dispassionate manner tells the truth, predicts that this country must soon meet this ultimate problem of the white world. It admits the justice of the claim of the colored races to fair, decent and brotherly treatment, and with skillfully directed covert sarcasm concludes: "The only alternate is to accept the Hindu, the Chinaman, the Negro as a man and a brother. But that is out of the range of possibility. We know that justice is on his side; but we can not relent. We will forego our hopes of heaven sooner. A wonderful, powerful, awful prejudice!" For a bit of irony this last comes to us with unanticipated, surprising, and even stunning felicity. We have imagined that between the lines of a number of recent articles on the Indian, Chinese and Japanese questions, we could discover the signs of unrest in the thoughts of the whites as to whether it is safe longer justify lying and cheating and all the other specious methods of injustice and wrong, behind the flimsy pretext of white supremacy as the result of God given rights and power over all peoples not white. The articles in the American Theosophist and the Los Angeles Daily Times, however, have justified our conclusions, and we thank them for it. It is time to be considering this matter of color-prejudice seriously, for who knows that the security of the present civilization may not some day depend upon the loyalty of a colored race or the colored races. Mark the present relations now existing between Great Britain and Japan! Had the former anticipated what is now at stake, it is very unlikely that intelligent and worthy colored people would have suffered at the hands of any of her dependencies. Even now, the Indians are being appealed to and are on the way to the scenes of bloody war to maintain the integrity of the English crown. Did the best representatives of this great race deserve the treatment they received at the hands of the Canadians at Vancouver? Color-prejudice is rampant in this country. At this time a call to arms in defense of this nation would be responded to by the colored people, equalled to by no other element of our most ethnologically mongrel body-politic. The colored brother has ever been valiant and loyal; and it is hoped that he ever will be. But the colored brother is human, notwithstanding the promoters of color-prejudice have sought in vain to show otherwise; and who can tell whether the example of certain oppressed Russians may not be emulated by a large number of American citizens, if the horrible incubus of race-prejudice should much longer continue in its present crushing intensity? There are no present signs that such an exigency will ever happen for the colored people are hopeful, confiding and loyal, but the future is known only to a wise, just, ominipotent and merciful God. TEKEL The day is not far distant when the American electorate will pass judgment upon the merits of the Democratic party and determine whether it shall continue in party ascendency and political power. We say party ascendency because as between the parties as such, the Republican party is in the majority and really entitled to political power, but "passing it up" in the interest of party harmony and for the especial purpose of eliminating certain wildcat leaders. Otherwise, the Republicans would now be in power as well as in the majority. Be that as it may, the voters are to determine whether this accidental political power shall continue. For our part—the party now in power, having had an opportunity to display its ability to administer the government honestly and wisely—we think that the Democrats ought to, and must go. Why? Because they have belied every promise they have made, or miserably botched every attempt to fulfill them according to mutual understanding. In the first place, the Democratic party turned its back upon its platform proclamation regarding the rights of coastwise shipping, touching canal tolls. This was one of the best "sellers," and, had it not been for this, the present Executive would have received a million less votes than Bryan did when he was defeated for the Presidency. Another platform declaration accounted for the high cost of living by charging it to Republican extravagance and mismanagement of legislative powers. As to these what has happened? A flat summersault in the first instance, and an utter inability to prevent a continuous soaring of the cost of the necessaries of life in the second. They promised to lower the tariff in a manner to provide the nation with sufficient revenue to efficiently conduct the Government, lower the cost of articles of consumption, keep an ever increasing working class, busy, and produce individual and national plenty and happiness. They lowered the tariff, and as a consequence, the nation is about to beg the citizens to lend the nation what extra gold they could spare that it might escape national bankruptcy; food is higher than ever before; a round million of hitherto busy artisans are idle, while staring the coming winter in the face without hope and in blank despair; all of which has tended nothing but to augur increasing poverty and misery. This same Democratic party promised economy such as would put to blush the most miserly Republican Congress. And yet their economy has been diverted toward lowering the wages of poor government employees, while insisting upon the passage of "pork" appropriations such as the Rivers and Harbors bill, whose only merit is that they satisfy "the constituencies" with insatiable appetites for "grease." They codified, and fraternized with the "colored brother," promising him all sorts of good things before election, only to show the cloven foot by cavalierly protesting that "it is better to humor a fool than to contend with him," after the election was over. Not only this, but this "colored brother" was told that "from him that hoth nothing shall be taken even that which he hath," rendering his last state infinitely worse than that of the first. To sum up the whole matter, the Democrats have simply done no good, but much harm; and would have done much more harm had they dared. As a consequence, the North, which has been struck down by the South, will rise in their might this fall and register its verdict of condemnation and expulsion of Northern Democrats now in Congress, while the Southern Republicans, most of whom are colored, can at least wait and see and rejoice in the salvation of the Lord made glo- riously manifest in a triumphant return to another long lease of political power, and in its train a long period of national peace and prosperity. Possibly, hyena-like, the Democratic party may profit by the calamity which is now overwhelming Europe: the Lord only knows. Ever since the war-cloud no bigger than a man's hand was seen on the horizon, the Democratic party has been hopeful that the rising tide of popular condemnation might be stayed by the erection of a temporary breakwater, built out of apologies, excuses and misrepresentations; and its hopes have kept pace with the thickening cumuli, until now that party is actually jubilant. It would persuade the voters that all its failures, various and innumerable as they are, were due either to the war existent or the war in prospectu. But this dope ought not to be swallowed, but it may be—to what extent will soon become apparent. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorra may not be soon, but it cannot long be delayed—and they are the Democratic party. The Daniel of Republicanism has interpreted it—Mene!! WHY LIVE IN ALLEYS? Why should respectable colored citizens live in alleys, when there are so many fine residences being erected in the southeast? Just go in Walter street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets southeast, and see the highly respectable colored citizens living in their own homes. The northwest is overcrowded, and it is impossible for colored citizens to secure decent houses in that section, with but a few exceptions. An opportunity is given the people by Mr. Penn, the well known agent for Mr. Kite, and is placing his people in decent homes. Mr. Kite will see that all purchasers are well protected when they buy from his representative or from him. The Bee advises all citizens to inspect these houses at once. SHAMS AND BOSSES The few society Negroes who urged the appointment of a society Negro to the superintendency of the Blue Plain Industrial School received a jolt this week when Commissioner Siddons announced the appointment of Leon Perry. This Young man is from one of the oldest and best-known families in this city, and he is a young man highly respected. Now if the President will appoint a man the successor of Mr. Siddons as good as he is, when he is promoted to the Supreme Court bench, all Washington will be happy. The society bosses and shams have been defeated. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). Well, we have two first-class theaters in the city where the citizens may go instead of crowding themselves in the many "Jim Crow" theaters in the city. I have been surprised to see so many well-dressed colored men and women insist on attending these "Jim Crow" institutions. They appear at the "Jim Crow" windows as if they were going to our own fashionable places of amusements. I understand that my good friend, Thomas H. R. Clark, has decided to separate himself from the government service. Some time ago he had the theory of Colonel Sellers. Just what has become of his great scheme for building houses I am at a loss to know. I saw Aaron Gaskins walking in market space a few days ago in the vicinity of Louisiana and between Ninth and Tenth Street Northwest. "Do you know that man," remarked a merchant. "Yes, that is Mr. Gaskins. Don't you know he passes here every day and each day he has a different suit of clothes on? He is one of the best dressed men I have ever seen. You can just bet as long as Aaron keep his senses he will never become a benedict. "Marriages are not so frequent among bachelors nowadays. I understand that Attorney L. M. King has decided to return to the Elks. He has sent in his application for reinstatement. I have been under the impression all the while that my friend, King, had gotten enough of the Elks after the set-tos he had with Armond Scott. No. I have not heard from Lawyer Jones since he went abroad. I presume he will hold a consultation with a few of the Canadian subjects if he decides to step from Detroit over Canada. The last time I heard from this distinguished barrister he stood upon one of the corners in Detroit, Mich.. and collected enough from his clients to bring him back to Washington. \*\*\* Those who think that Scott lost out in Norfolk are mistaken. Finley Wilson lost out. When he returned to the city he found his occupation gone. Finley intends to start the Moon since the Sun went out on him. The next time Finley starts a paper he will make his agreements iron-clad. Just how Finley was put out no one knows, but Hair Vim. I don't think that Hair Vim will dye gray hair or whiskers and neither will it affect bald heads in the right direction. Just how Hair Vim and the Sun can unite I am at a loss to know. Since Finley lost the Sun, perhaps there will be enough virtue in Hair Vim to keep him greased. Some people become disgusted with nothing and fail to see their own imperfections. I noticed a long communication last week protesting against Negroes being pictured upon the stage. I would suggest that it would be in good taste to tell the people what has become of their belongings that mysteriously disappeared in the defunct Capital Savings Bank. Nothing has been more disgusting and humiliating to the people than the sudden disappearance of all they had. It is not wise to become so thin-skinned at times. We can learn a great deal at times by remaining silent. Silence is golden is an aphorism long taught by philosophers. The latest on the market is the School Committee is the oldest inhabitants. Now, if the present chairman of the School Committee is changed, I am of the opinion that something may be done. The schools have been an eating cancer to the chairman. If he were on his death bed the colored schools would no doubt prolong his life. It is not telling just when Congress will adjourn. The anxious candidates are waiting for the only plum that is left. It is now very doubtful when Congress will adjourn, but the President has decided to appoint a colored Democratic brave to the job, even if it doesn't take place until next year or just before the expiration of the presidency. The Haytien mission has gone and Napoleon Marshal has decided not to accept a place not less than several thousand per. Napoleon has been quite ill and he has come to his mother city to be nursed. SAVES BLAZING CHURCH. Pastor Crane Sees Bolt Hit Steepe and Rushes to Rescue. Pittsfield. Mass.—The Rev. William Merriam Crane, pastor of the Congregational church here, said to be the wealthiest minister in Berkshire county, saved his church from burning when it was struck by lightning. A bolt landed on the steeple and played up and down the sides. It cut a six foot gash in the tower and in its course tore plaster and lathing from the walls. Mr. Crane, from Morningside, his country place, saw the boit, hurried to the church in his automobile and climbed into the belfry. There he found a fire starting and quickly put it out, unmailed. FOOD MAKES JAIL POPULAR. Women Who Cook It Give Prisoners Rare "Grub." Columbus, Ind. - The Bartholomew county jail has such an excellent reputation for its culine that it is always filled with county "boarders." Sheriff Burns has begun to protest to his women folk who do the cooking that he is being discriminated against in favor of the prisoners. He says he must defer his meals until the inmates are feel, and then the food left for him is scanty. There are eighteen men in the jail, and they are given coffee three times a day, with other things in proportion. When a tramp "lights" here the first place he breaks for is the county jail. IMMENSE COTTON LEAVES. North Carolina Grows Them Twelve Inches Wide. Lumberton, N. C.-Did you ever see a cotton leaf that measures twelve and a half inches across? F. A. Wishart brought one to a newspaper office here. It measured that much, and there were plenty more, he said, in the field where that came from, on the Strong Wishart place, about three miles west of Lumberton. Seven or eight inches is a pretty good size for cotton leaves, so you can see that these cotton leaves have attained an unusual growth. Wisconsin Pioneer Is 101. Amery. Wis.—Heading four generations, William C. Wright says he is the oldest resident of Wisconsin. Mr. Wright is 101 years and 5 months old. He makes his home with his son, William H. Wright, near here. Mrs. Elizabeth Handbelt, daughter of William H. Wright, and her son, Norman, make up the fourth generation circle. The aged Wright is a pioneer resident of the state AUTO IS A PEW EMPTIER. Woman Pastor Says Automobiles Keep Folk From Church. Noblesville, Ind.—In a sermon delivered at a union meeting on the courthouse lawn the Rev. Gertrude Reinier, pastor of the Friends' church, attributed the small attendance at churches in the summer to the automobile. "The people, it seems to me," she said, "would rather spin over the country in their machines, regardless of the danger and dust, than to attend church and hear the gospel expounded." As a result we preachers usually speak to empty pews on hot days, while at least two-thirds of the population of the country is whirling through the rural districts, propelled by gasoline power, with no object in view except pleasure." PLAN GAMBLING AT PANAMA. Earl of Shrewsbury Proposes Second Monte Carlo at Canal. London. - The Casino Nacional de Panama company, limited, with the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot as chairman, which proposes to start a second Monte Carlo at Panama, gives an alluring description of the wonderful gambling and amusement resort it intends to launch. The company is to acquire 250 acres of land and to operate under a charter "insuring absolute freedom from all interference for a period of twenty-five years," according to the promises of its prospectus, but no statement is made of what authority is to give the charter and to insure the freedom from interference. The casino is to include most of the attractions of Monte Carlo—a big hotel, an orchid garden, which will be one of the wonders of the world; a bathing pavilion, pigeon shooting, tennis grounds, golf courses and, principally, the gambling hall. Panama is advertised as a splendid winter resort, while passengers will have twenty-four hours to spend on land while the steamers traverse the canal, thus insuring a constant patronage. Profits to the stockholders must be large, because the roulette tables will be run on a system giving the bank a much larger percentage of profits than the Monte Carlo company gets from the play there. Forty per cent dividends on the F4 shares are predicted by the prospectus. . MODEL CHILD LABOR LAW. Industrial Board Would Put Little Workers Under State Bureau. Philadelphia.—The members of the United States commission on industrial relations are discussing a plan for state bureaus to look after the welfare of working children of school age. The commission intends to present it at all the hearings it holds throughout the country with a view of recommending a model law for the states. The proposed bureau would maintain a school census and enforce regularity of attendance, issue licenses to minors engaged in street trades, issue employment certificates and look after the child during the first two years in industry, establish vocational guidance work to fit industrial conditions of a community, help the child to get placed in its chosen industry, look after the delinquent, defective and dependent and take charge of the medical inspection service of the schools. HE DIED IN PRISON, WITH PARDON ON WAY Veteran Was Reading "Homeward Bound" When End Game. Kansas City, Mo. - David Truax, eighty-two years old, a life termer in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing, dled while a pardon was on the way to him. Truax served in the Ninety-first New York in the civil war. Having grubbed a competency from a little farm in Meade county, he left his family for a few months and went to the Kansas Old Soldiers' home at Dodge City. On his return from a visit to town one day Truax brought with him a pint of whisky. He put the bottle in his coat pocket, hung the coat in a tree and went into the barracks. While he was gone two of his cronies drank all the whisky and replaced the empty bottle. When he discovered the empty bottle he became mad with rage. He got an old army pistol and killed one and wounded the other. One of the men was killed instantly and the other crippled for life. Truax was tried for murder, convicted and sentenced to the Kansas penitentiary for a life term. When Major W. L. Brown was appointed to the board of control he took a special interest in the convicts who have been soldiers and came to know Truax intimately. Through his intercession a pardon was granted. The papers were mailed to the governor, and Truax was taken from the cellroom and given the freedom of the office. He had been making big plans for his trip home. Out of his pension he had saved $150 to assure burial outside the prison cemetery and sent the rest to his family. Major Brown called in the warden's office to see Truax and found him sitting in an easy chair, apparently dozing. He was dead. In his lap was a book, "Homeward Bound." Gas Proves Deadly to Flies. Independence, Kan.—A gas leak alongside the curb in front of a Main street residence has inadvertently given the city a hint at fly swatting that may prove of immense value. Along this leak, which extends about forty feet, is a layer of bluebottle flies from two to three inches deep and three inches to a foot wide. It is estimated there are a half bushel of them. Something about the gas attracts the insects, and they are asphylated. Snake Stories In Season. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—When Mrs. William Weaver, the wife of an Elmdale liveryman, started to go into her cave the other day she encountered a bunch of snakes under the steps that had evidently come out from their winter quarters. She ran to the house and called her husband, who succeeded in killing fourteen reptiles of various sizes and species. GERMAN SUPPLY OF FOOD IS LIMITLESS GONSULTS ABOUT WIRELESS Kaiser's Ambassador to United States Says Hospital Was Made Inside of Fortress and That Attack by Zeppelin Followed—Is Only One Authorized to Speak For Germany Here. Washington.—"Our crops are excellent, and our supply of food could last forever," said Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador. "Germany is absolutely self sustaining if she wants to be. We are reaping the results of a policy, condemned by certain persons, of keeping up our agriculture at any cost to the nation, so that the country would be able to sustain itself." "But if the men are all gone to war how will the crops be gathered?" "There are sufficient men to reap. We have so many people that we cannot put them all in the army. Germany has a male population of at least 80,000,000. As for our factories, I do not know how many of them are being kept open. There is now hardly any export trade, though goods still go to Italy, to Copenhagen and to Christina. Some factories are undoubtedly closed, and their workmen have gone to the front. You see, we are at war, and it is likely that all the manufacturing that is being done is of materials that have to do with war necessities. "I should like to make a statement," the ambassador had said. "Nobody is authorized to speak for the German government over here except myself, and any statement that is not covered by my name can be regarded as a fake. "I have nothing new to say regarding the situation with respect to the wireless station at Tuckerton, N. J. I have been consulting with people to whom the station belongs and with lawyers about it, and the situation is still absolutely open. I am trying to get information as to the state of the matter." The attack on Antwerp by a Zeppelin airship and the consequent partial destruction of a hospital were mentioned. "As to whether a hospital in Antwerp has really been touched by bombs I know nothing," said Count Bernstorff. "But there is this to say," he added. "Antwerp is a fortress, made for the purpose of resisting attack. Fortresses have always been bombarded. If a hospital is touched that is deplorable, but it is absolutely the result of a hospital being inside a fortress." An article quoted in one of the New York newspapers, from the pen of a German military writer and published some time ago in Europe, pointing out how easily it would be possible to invade and subdue the United States, was brought up. "I never heard of that writer," said the ambassador. "I should not suppose his work would be of great value if he writes such a ridiculous thing." "Americans have complained that automobiles have been seized." was suggested. "In war every kind of private property becomes the property of the government. Most of my friends sold their automobiles to the government. No American's car was taken without a receipt being given, and the car or its equivalent will be returned. Why, in France automobiles have been taken. My daughter, the Countess Pournales, has a little property in Savole, near the frontier and not far from Geneva, and the French seized her car and gave her just three days to get out of the country. They gave my son, who was visiting her, just twenty-four hours to leave." BIG PROFIT IN THIS WHEAT. A Thirty Acre Tract That Was Not Seeded or Plowed. Kansas City, Mo.—A thirty acre field of wheat that is expected to yield thirty-five bushels to the acre and did not cost the owner a cent for seed or labor until harvest is on the King farm, southwest of Grandview. It is owned by A. J. King of the King Realty company. Last year the ground was in wheat and yielded thirty-seven bushels to the acre. The harvest was late, the wheat was very ripe and much of it shattered off and lay on the ground. It came up so thickly in the fall that it was pastured down. Mr. King decided to let it stand and see what would be the result without plowing the ground and seeding it again. APPLES, 210,000,000 BUSHELS Department of Agriculture Says Year's Crop Will Exceed 1913. Washington-An apple crop of 210,000,000 bushels is forecasted by the department of agriculture. That is about 63,000,000 bushels more than last year, but 25,000,000 bushels less than in 1912 and about 4,000,000 bushels less than in 1911. The mean price to producers in the three months of heavy marketing, September. October and November, last year was 85.6 cents a bushel. In 1912 it was 62.3 cents, and in 1911 it was 63.1 cents.

The band accompanying, playing their famous selections. We were largely patronized by Leesburg and vicinity, also points along the line, and our many friends of Washington. We hope to have a net gain which will be profitable to the church.

Calvo, Minister From Costa Rica, Quits After Twenty-three Years Washington.—The retirement recently of Don Jonquil Bernardo Calvo as Costa Rican minister to the United States marked the culmination of one of the most remarkable careers in the annals of diplomacy. Senor Calvo was for twenty-three years the representative of Costa Rica in Washington and for many years dean of the diplomatic corps. He first presented credentials to President Harrison in 1891 and has survived six changes of administration in his own country. Among his literary works is a history of Costa Rica. He was especially well known, however, for his advocacy of closer relations of the Americans by means of better understanding between the republics. He was active in the establishment of the bureau of American republics, since changed. to the Pan-American Union; was a large factor in the Central American peace conference in Washington in 1907, at which the Central American court of justice was established at Cartago, Costa Rica; has actively advocated the establishment of a trans-American railroad to link the continents and expects to see its completion in the near future. Senor Calvo was born in San Jose, Costa Rica, July 10, 1857. There he was educated, and there he first entered the service of his government when little more than a youth by organizing the police department of the capital. Journeying through Guatemala he met and married in 1881 Maria de Leon, with whom he returned to found the first daily newspaper in Costa Rica in 1885. In that same year he was made a member of the war claims commission and in the following year abandoned journalism to become governor of Cartago. London.—Three out of the six powers of Europe which today are engaged in warfare have colonial possessions, protectorates and dependencies scattered all over the world. Austria-Hungary and Russia have no colonial possessions, though the Russian empire stretches through the continents of Europe and Asia and presents a long coast line on the northern Pacific. Of the others Great Britain has colonies and protectorates the world over; France has colonies and protectorates in Africa, India, China, in South America, in the West Indies, in the north Atlantic and in the Pacific and Indian oceans; Germany has colonial possessions in Africa, in China and in the Pacific ocean. Italy has dependencies in Africa and a concession in China. England's vast empires—India, Canada and Australia; her holdings on the Malay peninsula, her colonies in Africa and her fortified positions in the Mediterranean—Gibraltar and Malta—put her at the head of the colony holding nations of the world. They also increase the field of her protective operations. Many of the minor holdings of the four powers with colonial possessions to defend are themselves without military strength. In many cases the protecting powers have only small garrisons on shore, amounting to nothing more than local police forces. This is particularly true in Africa, outside of the French and British colonies, in the Pacific ocean and in American waters. The continent of Africa presents a notable picture of the juxtaposition of protectorates and colonies belonging to Great Britain, France and Germany. France has a protectorate over Morocco, and her Algerian possessions, facing the Mediterranean, are bounded on the east by Tripoll, a dependency of Italy. Then comes Egypt, where British interests are paramount. On the Red sea and contiguous to Egypt is the Italian dependency of Eritrea. Coming down the east coast are British Somaliland; Italian Somaliland, British East Africa, German East Africa, Portuguese East Africa and then British South Africa, embracing Rhodesia, the Transvaal, the Orange River Colony, Natal and the Cape of Good Hope. On the west contiguous in the order named are German Southwest Africa, Portuguese West Africa, the Kongo State, belonging to Belgium; the French Kongo, Kamerun, belonging to Germany; the Niger territories, a protectorate of Great Britain; French West Africa; Togoland, belonging to Germany; the Gold Codst, the British Colony and the Ivory Coast, annexed by France twenty years ago.

Man, Some Day, Will Have a Limited Choice if He Does Not Become a Vegetarian—Estimated That In a Hundred Years Population of Country Will Be 500,000,000. New York.—The diet of Americans will be changed rapidly, as the growing population presses upon the food supply, but it will not be necessary for us to become entirely vegetarian. This is the conclusion reached by Professor J. F. Lyman of the Ohio State university after a study of the available food supply of this country, published in Popular Science. There was no food problem in this country two generations ago, when fish were plentiful, pigeons, deer, wild turkeys, waterfowl, quail and buffalo were abundant and wild berries, fruit and nuts could be obtained easily and in large quantities. With the growth of population, however, game practically has disappeared and a very small part of the country's food is supplied by uncultivated plants and trees. Dr. Lyman says: If the present rate of increase continues the population of the United States will approximate 500,000,000 at the end of the present century. Is it possible to feed that number of persons on the product of our 3,000,000 square miles? China and India both support a population as dense, but both of these countries are distinctly agricultural. The mass of people live on the land and are engaged in producing food. In this country the great increase in population is in the cities, while the food-producing class is increasing comparatively slowly. The reports on agricultural products exported from the United States illuminate the food problem in an instructive way. If we compare the exports in 1912 with those for 1900 we find that the amount of cheese shipped abroad declined 85 per cent in that period, beef products declined 65 per cent, pork products declined 30 per cent, corn declined 80 per cent, wheat declined 57 per cent. "What do these figures tell? Simply that we have needed the food at home to supply our increasing millions and hence had less to sell in the markets of the world. Can we continue to feed our people by reducing the exports in food stuffs? Obviously not, and in many instances they have been reduced already near the vanishing point. We have even actually begun to import meat and corn. It is significant also that free government land suitable for agricultural purposes is no longer available; hence we cannot look for relief by bringing under the plow large tracts of virgin soil. "Is there likely, then, to be scarcity of food in this country In the near future? No, there is and will be plenty of food, but some changes in dietaries undoubtedly will have to be made. Let us notice. In 1910 for every man, woman and child in the United States there was produced seven bushels of wheat, thirty-two bushels of corn, four bushels of potatoes and forty pounds of sugar. There were six-tenths cattle for each person, six-tenths sheep and seven-tenths swine. Add to this the fruits, vegetables, poultry and dairy products, oats and other small grains and we see that there is plenty of food to go around and to spare. There was grown in the United States in 1912 corn which, if assembled in one immense field, might have corored Germany or France entirely with its rinsling phalanx. How many millions might be nourished by the produce of this tremendous acreage! Here is a great source of food at present utilized in a very slight degree. "Food has two primary functions in the body-first, to supply material out of which the body is built and, second, to furnish energy to warm the body and to drive its machinery. Perhaps the second function is the more important. Plants alone have the power to collect solar energy and store it up in a latent or dormant form in their seeds and other parts. Animals may, by eating and digesting these plant materials, liberate and utilize this stored up energy. When corn is fed to steers under favorable conditions per cent of the energy of the corn may be recovered as meat in the edible portion of the carcass. The remaining 97 per cent was used by the animal in its various activities and lost as far as the nutrition of man is concerned. In pork the recovered portion amounts to 16 per cent, and with the dairy cow 16 per cent of the energy of the food is found in the milk produced. Obviously this is a wasteful process, this conversion of grain into meat and milk. It has its justification only in the greater palatability and digestibility of the final products. "Dr. Armoby of the Pennsylvania experiment station draws the conclusion: 'All the edible products which the farmer's acres can yield will be needed for human consumption, and the function of the stock feeder in a permanent system of agriculture will be to utilize those inedible products in which so large a share of the solar energy is held and to render at least a portion of the latter available for human use.'" Department of Agriculture Alma to Educate Southern Farmers. Washington. With a view to inducing the south to grow beef cattle the men of the department of agriculture whose duty it is to figure for the extension of all branches of animal industry are planning for a 500 acre live stock demonstration farm in Louisiana. It will be the first of its kind in the country. There are breeding farms maintained by other governments, but, so far as known, this is the only one the primary purpose of which is to develop breeds of cattle entirely for their beef producing qualities. The farm is to be located on the dividing line between the cane sugar land and the cotton land of the Pelican State. The boll weevil has made cotton culture in the moist, subtropical part of the state too hazardous. There are many farmers who, when driven out of cotton by the weevil, undertook cane growing. They found, however, that with overdrops and occasional frosts, growing cane was about as hazardous as growing cotton. The south is thinking not of dalrying, but of growing beef cattle. The farmers have been getting such good prices for their different stock, they have so much corn on hand now, that the weevil has made them think of something other than cotton, that in every county there is a local sentiment favoring the eradication of the tick, a comparatively simple operation, and the growing of cattle for the packing houses. There is nothing wrong with the tick infested cattle from a food point of view, but so long as the tick remains in that country it is next to impossible to improve the breed. The immune cattle are not up to the standard of requirement for profitable shipment. The hauls to market are comparatively long, so it is desirable that the amount of bone hoof and horn to be transported be reduced to a minimum while the flesh that can be put on the market is brought to the maximum. New York.—In the course of an interview Cardinal Gibbons gave it as his opinion that the world had failed in its estimate of the dead pontifix, Plus X., that the judgment of a future day would place the son of a peasant who was raised to the pontifical throne among the really great men of the twentieth century. The iminent cardinal voiced the thoughts of those who have been the real beneficiaries of the short but active reign of Plus. Gluseppe Sarto was essentially a pope of internal activities. Ninety per cent of his voluminous utterances were addressed to the peoples in all lands who profess the Catholic religion. Many of his predecessors in the Roman see were men of a variety of talents, whereas he had but one—the talent for rooting up and exposing and building up as fast as he revealed the sore spots within his field. It is because Plus was an internal operator that the world as reflected in newspapers, magazines and books has failed. His admirers say, to understand him to have been anything more than a good and kindly old man whom everybody must love. Nobody will ever accuse Gluseppe Sarto of having been able to make "a deal" with monarchs, and he never renewed with any visible aggressiveness the claim of temporal power in the sense that he wished to be known as the pope-king. He began a reformer and died reforming. One of his first utterances was a condemnation of the privileges of certain rulers of Europe by which they could let it be known that they were against this cardinal and for that one. He annulled their veto privilege. Then he began a series of investigations, always of the church and the people in it—never of any others. He never worried about personalities where his reforms were concerned. He hit hard, then looked at the place he had hit. GIRL'S RECORD WHEAT YIELD. Thirteen-year-old Kansas Maid Has Grain Averaging Forty-seven Bushels. Wichita, Kan.—Cora Patterson, thirteen years old, of Caldwell, is the proudest girl in her neighborhood. Last fall she asked her father for a small plot of his farm near town on which she could experiment with wheat raising. Mr. Patterson allotted his daughter four acres. She plowed the ground, harrowed it and sowed the grain. She cared for it and watched it with an eager eye. The wheat was recently thrashed. It averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre, the best yield in this part of Kansas. In only the cutting and thrashing did Miss Patterson take no part. Chicken Has Two Heads. Standish, Mich.-Harvey Beach of Blacking township, Ogemaw county, has a freak chicken. It has two heads and three eyes, all in good working order.

Hillburn, N. Y., August 5. 1914. Dear Fellow Comrades: The preliminary call for the seventh annual Political League has already been published in several issues of the Guardian and other of our papers. The call, however, was issued before the exact date and place for the meeting could be determined. Now that it is settled as to when and where we shall convene, it remains only to announce the same and to add a brief word of earnest appeal to our people in all sections of the United States to awake and to get together tal civil, social and political interests. Meeting September 7-9, 1914, at Bethel Church, New York City. We feel peculiarly fortunate in being able to announce that the seventh annual meeting of the N. I. P. L. is to be held in New York City, in the new edifice of the Bethel A. M. E. Church, of which the Rev. B. W. Arnett, D. D., is pastor. We are to meet on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of the 7th, 8th and 9th, just previous to the great national Baptist convention to be held in the city of Philadelphia The Prime Objects. The determined purpose of the League is to assist in leading our Negro-American population out of political bondage, to wage perpetual and eternal war against any and all kinds of segregation based on race or color, and to restore the federal franchise to our oppressed brethren in the Southern States. These needed reforms cannot, we believe, be successfully accomplished for us by our friends of other races. While we appreciate their interest know that "They who would be free must themselves strike the blow." We must, as a fundamental factor in the struggle, produce and follow our own leaders, and we must get together and work and fight for ourKill the Idea We Are a Child Race. At any necessary cost and sacrifice we must educate the masses of our people to become an independent, race-loving people. The impression that has been deliberately built up and published worldwide that we are a child race and, therefore, are not to be dealt with as with other races, is a false claim that we must, as people, blow to atoms. This false impression has been studiously disseminated throughout this and other civilized countries, taken up and expounded by teachers, editors and politicians everywhere. Such Jamaging impressions of our people should begin to stir us to action. All Saints' Day, Men and Women All Self-respecting Men and Women of Color. We therefore call upon, not only the members of the League, but upon all self-respecting men and women us in our struggle for equal civil, soof color to co-operate and join with cial and political rights as American citizens. Come to our annual meeting, join the League, or give it your moral and financial support. Let all who read this call do all within their power to start the ball rolling in their respective communities, form local committees, organize branch leagues, plan to attend the meeting, assist financially and in every way possible. Let all churches, lodges, civic, literary and equal rights societies send delegates and let us demonstrate to the world that we are determined to become American free WEST WASHINGTON Old Folks' Day will be celebrated at Mt. Zion M. E. Church on Sunday, September 6, with the usual Old Folks' Day exercises. A dinner will be given them under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid, Mrs. Jennie Löcke president. Rev. Geo. Jacobs, the acting pastor, is to be commended for the very successful manner he has conducted the affairs of the church during the absence of the pastor, who will return this week from his vacation.

It should be remembered in discuss- ing this subject that the Scriptural -Janguage is figurative—that it does not signify that either the Church of Rome or her Protestant Daughters are Im- moral, The correct thought 1s this: Primarily the Church of Christ was a “virgin” company of persons, called out, separated from the world, its aly and its ambitlons—called to be saints and jolat-eirs with Christ in His Kingdom. To whatever extent sys- tems rose amongst the followers of Jesus and became affiliated with any of the kingdoms of this world—to that extent, Scrijturally, figuratively, they committed harlotry; for they were espoused to the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and were to walt for Him, that at Ills Second Coming they iaight become Ils Bride and His Asso- ciate in His Throne.

In the symbolic language of the Book of the Htevelation. as already éx plained. the name Babston fs applied not only to the typical woman, Papacy, sand her mystleal daughters, the Prot estant denominations, but also ta the great Cite, Mystie Babslon. The sym bol wenuan more particularly repre sents the ecelestastical systems, and the symbol city the zovernmental fea. , tures—the sacerdotal. or religious, au: thority to gorern und control the king- We all remember the history of the anclent city of Babylon, with its most wonderful walls and its hanging gar- dens. We all remember that it was bullt acroys the River Euphrates, whlch flowed through {ts center and was supposed to protect it fully ftom the hazard of invasion. Besides its vast storehouses of food {t had the river for {ts water supply. Babylon was therefore considered !mpregnable. Mystic Babylon, Christendom of our day, {s 1 most masterly organization. Its walls are built of ignorance and superstition. whose great foundations were Iafd centuries ago. Ancient Babylon's great rates of brass, which came down to the level of the Eu; phrates, represented Mystic Babylon's worldly wisdom, human ingenuity dnd dexterity of organization, to maintain ithe contro! of the symbolic waters and to protect the “cits” from a possible approach from that direction. In the symbolic language of the Scriptures the word water has two dls- tinct Interpretations: (1) Water 13 a symbol for Truth; (2) Water also sym- bolizes revenues from outside people and. kingdoms. In harmony with this latter thought we read that the woman with the golden cup sits upon many waters; “and the waters which thou sawest are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.” (Ievela- ‘ton 17:1-15.) This “woman” does not reign over one nation ot people alone: her rule is catholic, or general; for all nations were mde more or less “drunk = her false doctrines.” ‘The water of the River Euphrates, flowing 'throuzh Babylon, might therefore be ‘understoot to symbolize the peoples and nations supporting Mystic Baby. lon by contributions, fithes, offerings. The Euphrates to Be Dried Up. In the Revelation not merely is the name Babylon used long after the an clent city was.so blotted out of exist: ence that for centuries its site was un known, but the symbolic description in cludes also the River Euphrates. 0! | that great river we read, “The ‘water | thereof was dried up, that the way of ithe Kings of the East might be pre pared.” (16:12) If we are correct Ir ‘our interpretation that the waters of | that river signify revenues from all | nations, the drying up of the river im piles a cessation of the revenues o} Babylon, n decline in the contribution: which heretofore have made hei wealthy—inillions coming every yea from rich and poor of all nations fo her support.

Matthew 25:1-13—Sept. 13, “Watch therefore; for ye know not tha day Nor the hour.""—Ferse 13. HE parable of today's Study fs supposed to have been uttered by our Lord about three days before His crucitixion, a3 part of His response to the question, “What shall be the sign of Thy Corhing and of the end of the Age?” In the pre- ceding chapter the Master traces varl- ous experiences: of His people down to the time of His Second Coming. This parable has not been applicable at all times and under all conditions. This {s shown by the first word, “Then” —at that time—“the Kingdom of Meay- en will be likened unto ten virgins.” The parable does not describe the world in general, but merely the virgin class—the Church—the pure ones who have lett the world, have come to God through Christ, hare been justified by faith in His blood, and thus have been made prospective members of tlre Kingdom class, the Bride class. This parable shows, then, that In the and at vile Coane he Age a sepiration, division, will take place in the true Church of Christ ¢W'th the Jews, a betrothal took place | between Bride and Bridegroom about A year Wefore marriage. During that year any unfaithfulness to the Bride- groom annulled the contract, which was usually made through Intermed! aries. So, during this Gospel Age, a Church is being betrothed to Christ, and covenant obligations are being en- tered Into, These agreements are made through brethren, ministers, servants, of the Lord and the Church.

Peter Grogan and Sons Co. 817 to 823 Seventh Street SAY GERMANS USE DUMDUM BULLETS French Officials File Objection With the Powers. SAMPLES ARE SUBMITTED. These Bullets Are Cylindrical and Conical With Split Ends—Their Hollow Noses Expand on Impact, Causing Terrible Wounds—The Hague Conference Forbade Use. Paris. Of great interest to military students is the charge made by the French government that the Germans used on one of the first days of the war dumdum bullets. The charge was never substantiated. A sample of the bullets found in French dead have been submitted to the war office. The dumdum bullet is made with a hollow nose which causes the metal to expand on impact, thus creating an ugly wound. They were first made in the town of Dumdum, in British India. The bullets were first used in the Indian frontier fighting by the British owing to the failure of the usual type of bullets to stop the rushes of the fanatical tribesmen. At the second Hague conference all the powers except Great Britain and the United States agreed to stop the use of this kind of bullet. The charge was made, however, by Italian officers in the war with the Turks in Tripoli that the enemy was using the dumdum bullets. From the condition of the wounded the doctors declared that such was the case. The powers were notified and promised to draw the attention of the Ottoman government to the violation. Later, in the Balkan war, the Turks got a dose of their own medicine from the Montenegrins. On Oct. 21, 1912, the Turks said that the foe was using the proscribed bullets at Tuszl and Berama. Again the powers made representation to the Montenegrins. T. W. DUNWORTH 1002 Pa. Ave. N. W. You may go East and you may go West But Dunworth always sells the best 1002 Pa. Ave. N. W. Job Printing.
