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 COLORED VOTERS Delays Are Dangerous IT IS BAD TO TRUST BEFORE ELECTIONS Colored Voters Do Your Duty. Boston, Mass., Sept. 26.—The colored voters of the country are urged to register to vote and to make the color line bills which have been introduced into Congress and the segregation in Federal Department a campaign issue this fall, by the National Independent Equal Rights League, which at its seventh annual meeting in New York City on September 9, in its address to the country said: "We advise colored voters to look into the records of every Congressman up for re-election, to make an issue of the color segregation practiced by certain cabinet officers and encouched in bills already introduced into Congress. Find out where each candidate stands on these anti-Negro bills and the anti-intermarriage bill and act accordingly." This idea is appealing strongly to the colored leaders and is approved by their white friends. Colored men in every Congressional district are urged to question the Congressional candidates as to their attitude on these matters, and to look into the record along these lines of Congressmen who are up for re-election." The League which has given up the word "Political" desires to send another delegation to interview the President on the Segregation in the Departments and will welcome contributions from everybody towards expenses of the trip. Contributions should be sent to the Treasurer, Thomas Walker, Esq., 506 Fifth St. N. W., Washington, D. C. This matter has got to be attended at once, before the campaign is ended. Black Patti.

NATION URGED TO PRAY FOR PEACE United States Asked to Lead In New Righteousness. PEACE SOCIETY APPEALS. Bulletin Asserts That Present Conflict Glives to America a Chance to Teach the Gospel of Humanity—Says Peace Loving People Must Now Shoulder Responsibility. Washington.—"A message to the American people" was issued by the American Peace society, having headquarters here. It was sent out by Senator Theodore E. Burton, president, and Arthur Deerin Call, executive director. The message follows: "The frightful consequences of the present European conflict are likely to be beyond the wildest conjecture. Never before in the history of the world have such large numbers of men and such quantities of armament been engaged in mortal combat; never before have such deadly machines of warfare been loosened in the destruction of man and of property. Many thousands of lives are being sacrificed daily and will continue to be until this terrible conflict is stopped. "The causes of the war are not hard to understand nor difficult to explain. The maintenance of enormous military and naval armaments by the nations of Europe, costing no less than $2,000,000,000 annually, and a compulsory military service have inevitably stimulated a warlike spirit. It has been alleged that this vast expenditure was for defense, that it was for the maintenance of peace, but the present war is an irrefutable answer to this argument. Men unarmed are not liable to commit murder; nations unarmed do not engage in war. Again, certain sovereigns have had an insultable ambition to increase their personal power and to extend the territorial limits of their country regardless of the cost in men or money. "Then, too, there have been the tolerable secret alliances founded upon an outgrown conception of effective statecraft. Added to these causes are racial and religious animosities which have existed for centuries and trade rivalries and jealousies which have been constantly growing more acute. "The burdens and miseries of the war will fall not so much upon the sovereigns of the nations engaged in it as upon the millions of men who are fighting in the ranks, upon the widows and orphans in the homes which are made desolate and upon the generations yet unborn. The wheels of industry are still, commerce is paralyzed, thousands of lives which can never be restored are being sacrificed, and civilization is turned back a hundred years. "In the midst of this distressing calamity the peace loving people of America have no small responsibility. The president of the United States has just asked that the fourth day of October be spent in prayer and supplication for a speedy termination of this bloodshed and woe. Ministers might well deliver sermons calling attention to the utter follies, and irreparable losses of war, not only on Oct. 4, but the next Sunday and on every possible occasion. A similar responsibility rests upon lecturers and upon the press. "The various peace societies should with renewed vigor bend their energies toward creating a universal sentiment for international right reason. Such efforts, exerted by a people of a great nation whose neutrality and good faith are undoubted, cannot fall to have a salutary effect. The time must inevitably come when the people of the world will demand that the controversies between nations shall be settled by some form of judicial procedure similar to that now used in the settlement of controversies between individuals. "The opportunity of the American people seems at hand. The workers for justice between nations may well be horrified, but they need not feel discouraged. The cumulative disasters following in the wake of the armies, the futility of military theories, the senselessness of it all, are so apparent that the constructive upbuilders of civilization may well believe that they are soon to receive a new hearing before the bar of humanity. Let us of America, remembering all that is best and noblest in our traditions, do everything in our power to carry forward the banner of the new international righteousness. We repeat, our responsibility and our opportunity are at hand. "Therefore we urge upon peace loving people the country over the importance of immediately discussing among themselves this terrible situation and of uniting in prayer and supplication today and tomorrow and of continuing their efforts on each succeeding day until world peace is restored." Wills Teeth to Dentist. San Francisco. - Mrs. Kathryn M. Fenton gave explicit directions in her will that a mysterious little box should be delivered into the hands of Dr. Herbert Boyes. As most of the bequests made by the deceased were of jewelry there was no telling just how valuable were the contents of the sealed package. The box was brought into court and contained three sets of false teeth. Dr. Boyes was Mrs. Fenton's dentist. NEW SIEGE GUNS TO ABOLISH FORTS SURPRISE TO ITS INVENTOR One Shot Easily Demolished Strong Walls at Liege—No Other Nation Knew Kaiser Had Such Guns, and Facts Were So Carefully Guarded That Germans Were Surprised. Berlin—It is still too early to attempt to base general predictions concerning war in the future upon what the engagements of the present great war have shown. One prediction, however, does seem fairly justified already. That is that the day of fortresses has passed The new forty-two centimeter (16.8 inch) siege gun of the German forces appears to have demonstrated its ability to demolish the strongest fortifications. Pictures of the demolition at Liege bear striking testimony to the power of this new arm. A single projectile demolished utterly walls of re- A enforced cement and steel, ripped open steel towers and piled the mass upon the fort's defenders. This new siege gun has been the surprise of the war. It has been repeatedly asserted that no nation has any military secrets that are not in possession of all other important nations, but events have proved not only that the existence of this terrible weapon was not known to foreign nations, but that only a limited number of high German army officials themselves had so much as heard of it. A member of the relchstag, whose name is not given, is quoted as follows in a German paper: "The fact that the German army possessed such a gun was as much a surprise to the Germans as to foreigners, for its construction and nature were kept secret, as the situation demanded, so that even in the empire only a limited number knew about it. When the trials were finished and all was ready to begin the construction of the new gun the problem presented itself of making this wonderful work of war without attracting any attention. "More than fifty officers participated in the preliminary discussion over the preparation of the military budget for the consideration of the budget commission of the rechsting. When the subject of 'arms' was reached the head of this department requested that this part of the budget be not debated at that time. At the close of the session he told me confidentially that a new siege gun was in consideration. The general staff, he said, had urgently requested that not a word be said about the matter in the budget commission. Not even the officers, they declared, knew of what was being done. "The request of the general staff was observed. Then work on the new gun began. A number of them are already at the front and others are in the arsenals. Six weeks ago, as member of the commission on arms, I was in a gun factory and was informed that any number of tubes and projectiles for the guns can be finished in a very brief time, not to mention the great supply on hand. I asked whether these guns wore themselves out quickly and was assured by an expert that there are not enough forts in the world to wear out a single gun." ROLLED OFF HIS FARM. Man, Team and Cultivator Went Down Steep Incline Together. Lyons, N Y.-Edward Wilber, a tenant farmer on the Houghtaling farm five miles north of this village, met with an accident which may prove fatal. He was cultivating corn on a steep hillside. The lines became tangled and the horses reared up, falling backward on the cultivator Wilber was knocked down and rolled down the hill with the horses and the cultivator. The accident was witnessed by a neighbor working in an adjoining field. He came to the assistance of Wilber and extricated him from the mixup. The horses were not badly injured. Wilber was taken to his home, where he was attended by a doctor, who found both bones of the right leg broken, while both legs were covered with cuts and bruises where the horses had clicked and trampled on him. BIG CATCH OF SALMON. Season a Long and Fruitful One in Alaska Waters. Astoria, Orei—The arrival of the tender Akutan to go into winter quarters from the Bristol bay district, Alaska, brings news of a record breaking salmon pack in that part of the world. There was a steady run of fish during the season, which lasted later than ever before. Every available can was filled, and at the Nushagak river canneries alone there was a shortage of cans equal to 20,000 cases of fish. At all other factories shortages existed. None was prepared for the tremendous run of salmon. After all the cans were filled the fishing was stopped. The Nushagak river canneries totalled 546,200 cases. Scientific investigation is clearing up some of the mysteries of the salmon, refuting the idea that all die in spawning and other fallacies. It is stated by State Fish Warden R. E. Clanton that there is no specific limit to the distance which salmon will ascend the streams in which they deposit their spawn. They continue to travel upstream as far as the depth of water will permit swimming or until they reach some insurmountable obstacle. The recorded government limit is Alturas lake, Idaho, 7,335 feet. WOMAN KILLS A LIONESS. Wounded Animal Was In Search of Her Stolen Cubs. Reno, Nev.—Mrs. George Ellery, wife of a trapper, whose cabin is near Unionville, Nev., saved her own life and that of her three-year-old child by killing a big mountain lioness with a blow from a rifle after the animal, wounded, had charged her. Ellery trapped three lion cubs. He believes they were the lioness' litter and that she trailed him to the cabin Mrs. Ellery saw the lioness watching the cabin and called the baby, playing outside. Then she reached for a rifle. She took one shot at the lioness, but only wounded it. The animal then rushed at the woman. Mrs. Ellery stepped back to give her a clear swing with the rifle and brought the butt down on the head of the lioness, killing it. LIFE TERMER IS IN A CLASS WITH SOUSA Young Cherokee Indian Leads Prison Band. Tulsa, Okla. — Senator Robert L. Owen has made a personal appeal to President Wilson for a pardon for George Duncan, a Cherokee Indian, serving a life sentence in Leavenworth Federal prison. Since his incarceration he has achieved fame as a bandmaster and composer. Men prominent in all the walks of life in this state have joined in the appeal for his pardon. Duncan was an illiterate boy of sixteen when convicted of the murder of an Indian territory farmer near Wagoner ten years ago. The wife of the murdered man, a woman twice Duncan's age, was tried as an accomplice, but was acquitted. The theory of the government was that she was the instigator Duncan insisted that he was alone in the crime. His paternal grandfather, a Cherokee chief, was one of the famous old time "fiddlers" in Indian territory. After entering prison Duncan took up music and soon became proficient at it. Eventually his musical ability attracted the attention of the prison authorities, and he was placed in charge of the band, which now has twenty-six members and is the equal of any musical organization in Kansas. Many band pieces composed by him are played throughout the United States, and his admirers rank him with Sousa and other American composers of band music. He has also acquired a first class education along general lines while in prison. A typical "hill billy" upon entering prison, he is now one of the most attractive looking men in the Leavenworth institution. Judge Peter Delchman of Tulsa, before whom Duncan and the woman were tried, has joined in the appeal for his pardon. SEARED BY 13,000 VOLTS. Electricity Which Didn't Kill Him Cut Grant's Footprints In Stone. Burlington. N. J.-Although 13,000 volts of electricity passed through his body John Grant of this city is alive and physicians say he has a good chance of recovery. Grant is employed at the new power plant of the Public Service corporation at Reubens Point, West Burlington. He took hold of a high tension wire and in a twinkling was hurled thirty feet across the room, but not before the current had passed through his body and cut a clear outline of both shoes in the concrete flooring. Fellow workmen thought Grant was dead, but a physician revived him, and he was rushed to the hospital here. His hands and feet are seared to the bones. Would Call on the Kaiser. Paris.-Jules Verdines, the French air man, is chatting because the officers will not give him more latitude in scouting. "If they will permit me," he says. "I will leave my visiting card at the royal palace in Berlin." Plan For Two Cent Rate to South America as Aid to Commerce. Washington.—As a further stimulus to commerce, it is proposed by several leaders in congress that steps be taken to obtain a 2 cent postage rate to countries of South America that will consent to an arrangement of this character. It requires at present a 5 cent stamp to carry a letter to South America, and the argument is made that it would foster closer commercial relationship if that part of the world could be placed on the same basis with respect to mall charges as England, Germany, Canada, Mexico and Panama. Representative James T. Lloyd of Missouri, for several years a member of the house postoffice committee, said today that there was a general sentiment among members of the house and senate in favor of reduced postage to South America. A change would involve a series of postal treaties to be negotiated between the United States and the countries which are willing to enter into the new arrangement. Each treaty would be made in behalf of the United States by the postmaster general, acting under the advice of the president. The existing postal arrangements with the South American nations are under the regulations of the Universal Postal union. A joint resolution, the adoption of which would indicate the sentiment of congress on the question of the lower rate, is contemplated by some of the leaders. NUGGETS PAY FOR OUTING. California Fisherman Seeks Trout and Finds Gold. Nevada City, Colo.—A. W. Johnson, manager of an auto truck company, who is camping at Foote crossing, is a lucky person, and instead of digging down in his jeans for expenses he will probably go home ahead of the game. Johnson is fishing along the Middle Yuba river, and a few days ago he picked up a fine nugget. The find stimulated Johnson to greater efforts, and surely he was well rewarded, for he found another specimen in the river that is valued at $125. It is a pretty piece, with particles of quartz sticking out between the gold, and was evidently washed down from some rich claim in the mountains. Washington. — How little American flags pinned to their coat lapels have assured Americans in Hamburg of kindly treatment at the hands of every German was told in a report from Consul General Henry H. Morgan to the state department. The report gave a graphic description of the trying days at the outbreak of the war, when the consulate general was filled with frantic men and hysterical women claimoring for means to get home. "As far as the Americans in this city are concerned," wrote Morgan, "their friends and relatives in the United States can be reassured no harm will come to them, and indeed it would be hard to imagine from the peaceful aspect of the city that the whole country was afame. "Some embarrassment was caused at first by the refusal of the banks to honor American letters of credit and checks issued by well known American banks, but subsequently money was offered me in any amount to relieve this situation. Incidents were brought to my attention when American banknotes were changed into German currency at 50 cents on the dollar, but these incidents were very rare. "I have had several interviews with the civil authorities of Hamburg and the military commander at Altona, and all have shown the most earnest desire to do all in their power to relieve the stress and inconvenience to both American citizens and British subjects caused by the mobilization." Morgan was intrusted with British interests in Hamburg, and while there were sixty-two British vessels with upward of a thousand sailors aboard at anchor in the harbor when war was declared he reported that not a single overt act against any British resident of the city had been brought to his attention. On the day the report was written a special train provided by the German government was leaving for Holland with Americans. "There will be a large number who will have to remain here for lack of funds to return to the United States," said the report, "and among this number are many women and children. In the meantime no special concern need be entertained on their behalf, for a number of American firms in this city, as well as German firms, have contributed to a charitable fund which I have opened for their relief. "The prices of living have only slightly increased, and many of the hotels and pensions in the city have decreased their prices to aid those in distress." Never Drank Nor Sweets. Tipton, Mo.-George Schreck, who came here from Berlin, Germany, fifty-ix years ago, is dead at the age of ninety-one years. It is said he never uttered an oath, never used intoxicants and paid every penny he owed. URGE NATION WIDE SALE OF COTTON WOULD INCREASE THE PRIGE Idea of Speaker Clark's Daughter Is That American Women Consume Cotton That Is Usually Shipped Abroad—Mills Would Then Run on Full Time. Washington.—A nation wide bargain sale of American cotton goods has been suggested as a means for helping the northern spinners and the southern growers. The proposition, advanced by Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter of the speaker, has been adopted by other young society women. Miss Clark has as enthusiastic coworkers Miss Callie Hoke Smith, daughter of Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia, and Miss Lucy Burleson, daughter of the postmaster general. It is a young woman's movement, but their elders are backing it. Word comes from New York, Chicago, St. Louis and other cities that society women there will assist in making the movement a success. This bargain sale of cotton goods is a part of the "buy a bale of cotton" movement that is so heartily approved by President Wilson, members of his cabinet and business men in general. In spite of the abnormally low price of raw cotton, the mills are working on part time only. They cannot sell cotton goods because retail stores are loaded up, as the war has curtailed consumption. By inducing the women to take the goods now on the shelves of stores the deadlock would be broken and the spinners encouraged to increase their output, thus consuming more of the raw material. Miss Clark said: "Europe ordinarily buys $500,000,000 worth of cotton annually from the United States. This amount, as the result of the war, is thrown back on the hands of the growers. Everybody knows of the buy-a-bale movement by which it is hoped that the crisis can be avoided. In connection with this 100 Photo by American Press Association. MISS GENEVIEVE CLARK. It occurs to me that the American public, and American women particularly, could help tremendously if on a certain day cotton bargain sales would be held in every store in every town in America. "It seems to me that American women should wear for one season cotton clothes made in America in order to avert a great financial deadlock on which depends the prosperity of our great south. "It has been said that there is no real lack of money in this country, that people anticipating a stringency are holding on to what they have got. Thus should this idea of a great nation wide bargain sale in cotton appeal to 10,000,000 women, each buying a dollar's worth of cotton materials on a certain day, these would put into circulation $10,000,000 hoarded money, and to that extent the stringency would be relieved." "I think every patriotic American woman should indorse the proposal to make cotton dresses fashionable and aid the national bargain sale idea, which will be a long step toward bringing cotton into popular use." said Miss Lucy Burleson, daughter of the postmaster general. "American women can make any movement successful, and surely in this unequaled opportunity for industrial expansion for our nation we should take pride in 'Made In America' goods and 'Made In America' fashions. It is a patriotic and inspiring idea, and I shall do all in my power to promote it." Ends Sufferings of Wounded Soldier, Paris.—A shell exploded in a group of French soldiers and a dozen or more were killed. One man, who had both legs and an arm blown off, implored his superior officer to kill him. The officer put a bullet through the soldier's heart, saying, "It is better, poor devil." The officer opened his mouth to speak again and a bullet struck him in the mouth and killed him. British Hope to Realize Rhodes' Dream of Cape to Cairo Route. Washington—Reports of fighting between the British and German forces in central Africa are regarded in diplomatic quarters here as having significance far beyond that of a local struggle in that savage and remote quarter. It is looked upon as a final test of the two rival policies—the German plan of establishing her most extensive colony in East Africa and the British policy of linking together her vast territory in southern Africa, extending from Cape Colony through Rhodesia up to Lake Tanganyika, and her equally large possessions in northern Africa, extending from Egypt, through the Sudan, down to British East Africa. These British possessions in the north and the south stretch almost continuously for 5,000 miles, giving the hope of realizing Cecil Rhodes' dream of a continuous "Cairo to the Cape" route, entirely under British authority. This stretch is now interrupted at only one point, where for 200 miles German East Africa projects an arm straight across the chain of British possessions extending from the north to the south. The British have succeeded in getting around this gap, first, by crossing Belgian territory under a treaty, which was finally abrogated through Germany's protest, and second, by adopting Lake Tanganyika as a water route, connecting the other portions of the route by rail and river. One of the reports from Blanquire, in British Central Africa, tells of the taking of the German station at Langenburg, at the head of Lake Nyassa, in German East Africa. This is the section immediately at issue and which forms the link between the British possessions of north and south Africa. It lies just south of the British possessions in Uganda, and should its control pass to the British it would complete their continuous chain from the northernmost point of Africa to the southernmost point of Cape Colony. "WIZARD" BURBANK OUTDONE Potatoes and Tomatoes Are Grown on Same Plant. Britton, S. D.-Plants with potatoes oil their roots and tomatoes on their tops, raised here by H. E. Benson, may yet place him in the garden wizard class with the famous Burbank. In appearance the plants are of the ordinary potato variety, but at their tops are large bulbs resembling tomatoes in both meat and seeds. Whether or not these are the ordinary potato balls often seen or a growth caused by the mixing of the pollen of the tomato and potato blossom is not certain, although the latter explanation of the odd combination plant is believed to be the true one. U. S. TO SHOW FARMER HOW TO MAKE PROFIT Washington.—Professor William J. Spillman, chief of the office of farm management, department of agriculture, is making arrangements for the holding of a farm management survey school here in November when field agents of his office will be in Washington attending an annual conference. A week will be devoted to the survey, which will take place on farms nearby in Virginia. The "school" will be conducted by experts of Professor Spillman's office. "A farm management survey," said Professor Spillman, "takes in every possible item in the business of the farms included. The purpose is to ascertain which farms in a given community are being successfully and profitably operated, which farms are making a living" and which are being operated at a loss. "Thirteen such surveys have been made up to date in as many states. Those already made have been of real benefit to this office and to the farmers affected directly by them. "For example, the surveys show that many farmers fall to get a maximum of work out of their farm animals, their help and themselves because of lack of foresight. Instead of so arranging their work that they will be profitably employed all the year many have entirely too much to do at one time and little or nothing to do at other times. Consequently their farm animals frequently do not pay for their keep for considerable periods because of lack of profitable employment. "The work of our field agents is to acquaint themselves with the facts developed by the surveys and then assist the farmers in applying scientific methods which have proved successful. Where a farmer is not planning his work so as to secure a maximum of profit from his employment ways and means to accomplish this end are pointed out to him. Where he is raising crops that are unprofitable the facts and figures are laid before him in a convincing way. "Few farmers are inclined to show resentment when our agents attempt to assist them in this way. Occasionally, perhaps as often as one in a hundred, a farmer will refuse to answer questions or supply information as to his farm operations or his success or lack of it. As a rule, they are more than ready to adopt better methods when 'shown.'" EXTEND TWO CENT POSTAGE Burleson Would Take In Western Hemisphere—Money Order Plans. Washington. - Postmaster General Burleson announced that he had under consideration a plan making the two cent rate for letter postage effective throughout the western hemisphere. In an official statement it was said: "A sacrifice of revenue would be involved, but strong arguments are advanced in behalf of the proposal. The change, it is contended, will go far toward permanently building up direct and frequent mail exchanges between all the countries of North and South America. The two cent rate now obtains between the United States and Great Britain, Mexico, Cuba, Canada and with Germany upon letters routed direct between German and United States ports. "In several of the larger South American ports Germany has practically a monopoly of the money order business. Between Germany and Brazil, for instance, a 'card' order' postal money order system is in effect. It is a system not suitable for adoption in the United States, and Brazil has heretofore, been unwilling to adopt a dual system. Difficulty in making remittances to and from Brazil and the United States has resulted." The post office department is actively co-operating to stimulate trade between the United States and South and Central America. Postmaster General Burleson issued an order directing the third assistant postmaster general to suggest immediately to the Latin American countries with which the United States does not now transact money order business the desirability of concluding conventions for that purpose. These countries are Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dutch Guinea, Paraguay, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama. The American postal service heretofore has reached other countries of South America by money orders issued through Belgium. But at the outset of the European war Belgium suspended its money order service. This cut off an important avenue of exchange, and that is regarded as an additional reason likely to influence the Latin-American countries to enter into money order conventions with the United States. Shippers and Packers Closely Watched by Government. Washington. Through the co-operation of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture with the public health and marine hospital service and the bureau of fisheries a complete survey of the oyster beds of the United States is being made. The first year's work was completed last spring, and the three services are making plans for their campaign during the coming winter. An oyster map will show the location of every bad oyster bed in this country, but it will not be printed for general distribution. It will enable the agents of the bureau of fisheries to keep watch upon interstate shipments of oysters made from these polluted beds. Shipments to points within the state where they originate will not be inspected, but if it becomes known that oysters from a "bad" locality, in Chesapeake bay, for instance, are being shipped to a point in New York or elsewhere, samples of them will be tested and subjected to an analytic test. If the disease permits are found the shippers and packers will be prosecuted under the pure food and drugs act. The bacteriologists this winter will devote their attention to beds along the Atlantic const. Chesspeake bay, to which their last winter's work was confined, will be resurveyed in suspicious localities found last year. The bureau of fisheries vessel Fish Hawk will carry four chemists on the inspection tour. Every oyster bed of commercial value is known, and the Fish Hawk will anchor over each one while the experts make their observations. A few tongsful of oysters will be dredged from each bed, and samples of the water and mud along the bottom will be taken. These samples will be labeled as to locality and general river conditions and sent to Washington. The oysters will be sent to the public health service here, where chemists will make analyses for bacteria. The chemical condition of the water samples will be noted by the bureau scientists and will then be sent to the public health service for another examination as to their bacterial contents. FINGERS BLAZE IN A STORM. Mountain Air, Charged, With Electricity, Proves Prankiah. Silver Lake, Ore. - In a thunderstorm at the base of Table mountain recently the air became so charged with electricity that persons who touched metal or dipped their hands in water received sharp shocks. Sparks and blue flame shot from the finger tips of housewives who attempted to pick up cooking utensils. Mrs. Florence Bass sustained a severe shock when her hand came in contact with a vessel on the cook stove. She then tried to lift something from a pan of water on the stove, and a second shock, more severe than the first, was the result. A blue blaze shot from the tips of her fingers with a report like the crack of a ride. Specialty made of Constitutions and Pamphlets BUSINESS OFFICE and PLANT, 1109 EYE STREET. N. W.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION. One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....5.0 Subscription monthly.....2.0 THE TRUTH HURTS. A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish Ambassador, has announced his intention to leave the country. It is reported that the aforesaid determination has caused "a profound sensation in diplomatic circles," although the exact quality of the sensation is not divulged. Whether A. Rustem Bey had so impressed his personality, "his high-class diplomatism and all-round good fellowship upon the diplomatic college as to render his separation from the service in this country a source of probable inharmony; or whether the "sensation" is merely an expression of the customary diplomatic an revoir, amounting to little more than cold formalism and empty courtesy, can only be conjectured. Let us hope that the departure of Bey is attended with sincere regrets on the part of the foreign legislations. But whatever may be the real sentiments and feelings at the legations, there is but little doubt touching those of the "powers that be." The "unspeakable Turk" has essayed to express an honest opinion upon a subject concerning which his government was violently assailed by the American press, and a vast body of American citizens. As to whether the Ambassador was privileged, under the established code of diplomatic proprieties, to express his honest convictions, even in defense of his own government when assailed, when it happens that such convictions, when expressed might be "objectionable" to the government to which he is accredited, we do not know. We do know that the Ambassador did exercise the right of free speech—by the way, one of the very highest privileges incident to American citizenship—and also that he did not depart very far from the facts on at least one subject. Concerning the uprisings in Turkey against Christians, as to the real cause of provocation, the extent of persecution and the quality of justification on the part of this government in threatening to send warships to Turkey, we are not fully or satisfactorily informed; that is purely a matter of fact to be determined and acted upon by the injured party. At present there is variance as to statement of conditions, one party attributing disturbances in Turkey to a fiendish tolerance, if not encouragement, of widespread persecution of Christians, while the other contends that whatever persecutions or massacres exist or have existed, were due to provocations under which any people might commit similar acts, and cites the lynchings of colored people in this country and the "water cure" in the Philippines in emphasis of his contention. The remarkable thing about the controversy is that while the Ambassador admits that massacres occur in Turkey, it must be admitted that lynchings—which are no less enormous than massacres, in point of moral turpitude—are of almost daily occurrence in this country. As there can be no justification for taking human life except in unquestionable self-defense, or by due process of law whereby the accused may exercise the right of unprejudiced judicial trial, it looks very like "the pot calling the kettle black" and suggests that— "He who hopes his wen will not offend. obent. Should overlook the pimples of the cheeks." his friend, or, at least, "soft pedal" in a manner not to excite the ridicule 'of governments which practice ab- solute justice toward all their subjects, of whatever race, religion or color. From the standpoint of absolute frankness and fairness, we can see nothing so very "obnovious" in that part of A. Rustem Bey's statement which relates to the abominable, fiendish and unprovoked lynchings of colored Americans; it is true, unqualifiedly, historically true, and a disgrace to American civilization. But the Ambassador is pardonably mistaken in his implication that lynchings in this country are due to provocations such as would incite any people to commit similar acts. He is aware of the religious bias wrought by hundreds of years of bloody conflict and bitter controversy between Christians and Saracens; of the intrigues and conspiracies fomented by the English, Frankish, Latin and Teutonic races against the "knotted and turbaned Turk," simply because the latter is Mohammedan and occupied an enviable strategic position on the European continent; and he therefore understands the stubbornness and irreconcilability of these historic enemies. And, presupposing some justifiable cause for the lynchings in this country, the Ambassador stumbles into the error of asserting and granting similar provocations. Did he but know the truth, the whole truth, he would have made his statement much stronger, much more "offensive." He could have stated with absolute certainty that a very tremendous majority of the lynchings are due not to the "unspeakable" acts extensively published, in which the purity of American womanhood is claimed to be involved; but to conduct which, if committed in the main by white men, would be applauded and justified as expressions of the inestimable boon of civil liberty; as where some are lynched for being "impudent niggers," others because they are "dangerous, high-toned niggers," the head and front of whose offending consist in advocating manliness, social purity, popular education, political equality and an agitation in favor of the full exercise of manhood rights. Of course, it is not necessary to speak of segregation, jimcrowism, disfranchisement and the many other forms of persecution, injustice and wrong—modified expressions of the same blood-thirsty, un-Christian, diabolical spirit—to which the Ambassador might have truthfully referred, for the reason that the American press did not include those civil injustices and perhaps because the Turkish representative was not aware of them. But it seems he went quite far enough to realize that henceforth he would be regarded and treated as persona non grata, and accordingly made up his mind to leave the country. As we stated in the beginning, we can not vouch for the quality of the "sensation produced by the news of the Turk's intended departure among the diplomatic corps, but of this we are certain: our estimate of the "speakable Turk" has undergone recent and decided change, which, though it might seem unpopular among some white folks, reflects no discredit on the Ambassador. Like Lionel Carden and our own George Fred Williams, he has spoken his thoughts, not diplomatically, it may be, but truly, boldly and rightly, and this is more to his credit, he will not retract, modify, or in any way tainter with what he said in the first instance. If the facts as stated by the Ambassador are "obnoxious" and "objectionable," on the subject of lynching they are facts nevertheless, and whatever policy may dictate as to the action of the Turk, self-respect, common decency and a square deal all suggest that the Administration set about curing the moral ulcer of lynching, thereby rendering the American body-politic immune against such punctures were so easily and "obnoxiously" administered by the Turk. If not, cease prating about the glory and benefice of American civilization and honestly admit that we are a half-civilized body of about a hundred million, of whom one out of every ten persons is a branded brutally treated slave to the lowest and meanest of human passions—Color Prejudice. For our part, we only hope that on the subject of lynching here and elsewhere, many more shots such as was recently fired by A. Rustem Bey the thundering reverberations of which may be "heard around the world." SMALL DIPLOMACY Mr. Bartholdt was equally unfortunate in his reference to England's employment of her various forces for the protection of her power and, prestige. Bartholdt said: "England's summons to the black men, the brown men and the yellow men to fight her battles against a white and highly cultured nation will not be the end of it. Japan will demand her pound of flesh, which is bound to be cut out of the skin of one Uncle Sam." This double thrust little becomes a personage of Bartholdt's pretensions. He pretends to be a Republican, but has not learned his first lesson—that color is but an accident and in no wise determines moral, intellectual or spiritual potentiality. He displays the same prejudice to which he takes exception in the American people. Besides this, Bartholdt's seems to think that the cry of "white superiority and supremacy" will turn the tide of sentiment in Prussia's favor. He twits England for employing black, yellow and brown men to fight for her enemies. Pray what else should she have done? These peoples are her subjects, brave, loyal and enthusiastic; and these qualities are called forth by reason of the policy of Great Britain which recognizes merit and human rights wherever she sees them without stopping to consider as, to the color of the skin. We hope that Bartholdt will not succeed in his new stroke of southern diplomacy. But it was not enough to strike at these races because they are not "white." Bartholdt went one better, or worse, and insinuated that at least one of these dark races would "demand her pound of flesh, which is bound to be cut out of the skin of one Uncle Sam." Why so? Why, or upon what principle or expediency, can Japan be expected to get into trouble with "one Uncle Sam?" What has Uncle Sam done, excepting what Bartholdt is now doing, to provoke trouble? England is doing no more than Bartholdt justified this country in doing when hundreds of thousands of colored men were employed in putting down the Rebellion. Does Mr. Bartholdt infer from the yellow skin that the Japs are wanting in honesty and sincerity and personal and national honor? Mr. Bartholdt has played the wrong card. He has shown himself capable of resorting to the lowest of subterfuges and can with propriety be classed among the enemies of human progress and the doctrine of the universality of brotherhood. "GO'AHEAD, MR. BRUCE." That there exists a need for reform in our schools and that such need has for a long time existed, the whole town knows. It is indeed a sad commentary on enlightened colored Washington that as far back "as the memory of man runneth not to the contrary" its schools have been in a state bordering on revolution, Strife and distrust, anarchistic principles and near-insubordination, the machinations of this clique or that have time and time again threatened to disrupt our schools and have beyond the shadow of a doubt robbed them of their fullest usefulness. More than one generation of children have gone through our schools—educated (?) in an atmosphere that made for everything else than their highest symmetrical development. Much has been suggested on street corners and elsewhere, much philosophizing has been done in futile places as to the means of increasing the efficiency of our teaching corps and thereby contributing in largest measure toward the greatest yield for good of our schools. But it was left to Mr. Ernest H. Daniel, vice president of the Board of Education, to name publicly and officially what means he knows to be best to put an end to the disgraceful muttering and bickering and pettifogging and slandering in our schools. Fearlessly, before the assembled teaching corps; plainly, without evasion or circumcumulation; positively, with a forcefulness that carried conviction; Mr. Daniel named the malady—and long may he live, the remedy. Like his biblical namesake, he descended into the lions' den; like his saintly forbear, he shall come forth again unharmed. All hail, Daniel! Washington parents and taxpayers and citizens unreservedly agree with Mr. Daniel that the trouble-makers, or, less elegant but no less truthfully named, "sore-heads," should be put out—bodily, and none too gently at that. The thousands of mothers and fathers of boys and girls, who have for a long time appreciated the cause without being able to hit upon a remedy, are deeply grateful to Mr. Daniel and the other members of the Board of Education for their resolve to cleanse these modern Augean Stables; a task that their own approval and earnest co-operation shall render less Herculean. And, not unlike those three superintendents and the members of the Board, the right-minded public—the powerful unconquerable masses—has put its "O. K." upon Mr. Bruce. It pays him a no less earned tribute than do the members of the Board; it, too, has confidence in him and "means to back him to the limit." Easily among the leaders in education and school administration, cultured, chock-full of brains and every inch a leader, there is reason to be proud of him and need to have confidence in him. Supt. Thurston stands squarely on both feet for 100 per cent educational efficiency of our schools; the Board has gone on record irrevocably for whatever change or reform, drastic or otherwise, that makes for the improvement of our schools; the citizens insistently demand, and will be satisfied with nothing less, whatever action shall make for clean, wholesome, whole-souled teachers and schools. Mr. Daniel has sounded the toscin, "Go ahead, Mr. Bruce. You've got our 'O.K.'; we'll back you to the limit." THE SCAPEGOAT: That a war tax is necessary to the proper support of the government in these times of commercial depression would seem to be without question. And the country is looking to the lower house of Congress to exercise its constitutional right and duty to formulate a revenue bill such as would be most suitable in view of industrial conditions. But it would seem that if this be true, the people are not familiar with the "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain," peculiar to the present Democratic House. Already they have made a "bluff" at some sort of a revenue bill imposing the needed war tax, but it is a mere skeleton of a bill, far from meeting the expectations of either the House or the people. In fact, it seems to be a "cut and dried" scheme, now that the fall elections are on, to shift the responsibility for delays, mistakes and "unfavorable exactions," which seem to be inevitable upon the Senate since the majority of that body are not amenable to the endorsement or condemnation of the voters this year. The scheme is to go to the country with the plea of overwork, veritable brain-fag, to ask for a postponement of a verdict upon their tariff, financial trust, Panama Canal and other doubtful measures, until the war is over—and the elections—at which time they claim they may be justly held responsible for results. It is a great scheme, but we hope that it will not work. Before the war began, the tariff was a demonstrable failure, the financial project a measly blotch and the trust legislation a farce. The Democrats earned a defeat before the war and only the sentiments of magnanimity which are always dominant in such times as these can save them from political annihilation. They may escape the reward of their folly, madness, sectional prejudices, this time, but what will happen to them next time will be a plenty. The little game of "hide and seek" in 'the war tax bill won't work; it is too transparent, but they may get by on account of the disturbances which have distracted voters from an analysis of Democratic incompetency. Had the Democratic House assumed proper and constitutional charge of the war tax bill and failed, the result would be the same; but they do not know that—they are now operating in front of the blind eye of the public—that's all. OF THE TWO EVILS. The Mexican imbroglio has assumed a cat-and-dog fight. Between Carranza and Villa it would not be difficult to choose. Carranza is a natural born tyrant, while Villa has had the temper of a tyrant thrust upon him and is therefore to be more readily excused, because reformation is quite possible and now seems likely. Carranza, on the contrary, is incorrigible, and should he be successful in usurping the helm of government, Mexico need not expect much more than a continuance of misrule, tyranny and oppression, for the simple reason that it is the nature of the beast to so rule. It is therefore to be hoped that if the Mexicans are to be burdened with either one of these "bandits," Villa may be the man. We do not think that the United States could do better than to take sides with Villa, at least until a truly representative and constitutionally chosen executive person can be selected. But the rumor that Villa has colored blood in his veins may make a difference. NEW: HIGH SCHOOL: The demand for a new colored High School continues to grow. Last week The Bee briefly spoke of the overcrowded condition of the building and called special attention to the Commissioners of the great need for a new colored High School. The necessary money for the new colored High School is available; hence the Commissioners have no excuse for delay in commencing work on this new school. The Board of Education should appoint a special committee and give it special instructions to urge the Commissioners to begin work on the new colored High School at once. Why is this delay? The Bee would like to know. COMMISSIONER F. L. SIDDONS If Commissioner F. L. Siddons retires from the Board of Commissioners, the colored citizens will lose a great and good friend. On the other hand, if he is promoted to the bench all the people will have a good and fair man to adjust their differences. The people have the most implicit confidence in Mr. Siddons, and before he retires it is hoped that he will see that the Colored High School is in course of erection. Let us have our High School. WILL THEY RESIGN. Senator, putting them on record. It is a timely circular, and if these lawmakers refuse to sign and return it, let every loyal voter repudiate them. SAD DEATHS The deaths of three well known citizens of Washington on the same day and within a few hours of one another was a great shock to the community. All three were well known to the entire community. Miss Mattie E. Bruce was a most pleasing personality. She was a faithful teacher and a young woman whose services will be missed. Major C. A. Fleetwood, whose record as a soldier will stand for ages. A quiet and unassuming individual. Mr. John H. Butcher is from Washington's oldest stock and well known among a host of people. To their families The Bee offers its condolence. ELIMINATE THEM If the Democratic party ever hopes to become strong, it must eliminate Hoke Smith, Joseph Daniels, Ben Tillman, Rosenberg and a few others. Will Burleson should be sent back to his home and kept there until Fate calls him to his reward, whatever it may be. President Poincare of France leads his black soldiers and declares that the French Republic will do everything for them. "We have treated our black subjects fairly well and they are willing to die for our country," remarked the President of France to his deputies. This is a lesson American President and Americans should be able to say. Miss Alice Jackson, house nurse nurse and one of the recent graduates from the Howard University Training School for Nurses, is doing well in Petersburg, Va. It is the man who "laughs last is the best." People who make complaint to the authorities should tell all and not part. There is always two sides to all questions. The department of justice shall hear the other side. See? Never bite off more than you can chew; it may tend to choke you. There is no reason why our colored High School is not erected. Will some one explain? Mr. Daniels gave all kickers in the schools who did not desire to obey the assistant superintendent to get out. Now, don't all resign at once; it may embarrass the schools. Up to the time The Bee goes to press no resignations have been yet received. Yes, and whenever The Bee is disturbed, it will surely sting, no matter who he may be. See? The Bee is one of the most quiet and the most industrious little insects until it is disturbed. Then the crowds halloo and cry "Help!" PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage 'of the Potomac.) Link Johnson and Bill Houston wouldn't believe Henry Slaughter's daily bulletins that they would beat Link to a frazzle at Boston. Now they know Henry knew what he was shooting up through his brain reservoir when he said they would bring home the bacon and knock Link and Bill over the ropes. And Fred Moore, who tried to help Link by knocking Morris, had to eat crow also. Just four years ago The Age was calling Link Johnson and Ben Davis all sorts of names; it was really libelous stuff. Presto change, and a hint from Booker T., and The Age begun giving Link and Ben yards of space for good things about themselves, and allowed them to roast Morris to a finish. I never could understand why The Age should but in to try to run the Odd Fellows, but Fred Moore wants to run the universe, and every time Booker T. pulls the string The Age takes a heeder. The Bee predicted the Johnson-Davis-Houston combine would lose, and the Bee usually hits it right. The New York Age can't run the G. U. O. O. F.; that was shown at Boston. R. Wordy Thompson, who was Link's press agent, said Link would win; I guess R. Wordy has another guess coming now. Four years ago Link Johnson said Booker Washington might control the education, political and money doings of the race, but he would be (coffer)damned if he should run the Odd Fellows. This year he was willing to accept Tuskegee support. It's all over now. Let's kiss and make up, and let everybody, victor and victim, pull for the G. U. O. O. F. * * * * Continued to page five. The Week in Society Beauty, quantity and service combine to make Board's Drug Store at 1912½ Fourteenth street one of the most attractive in Washington to a large number of patrons who seek the best in medicines, toilet articles and a superior quality of ice cream sodas. Remember the number. Board's Drug Store, 1912½ 14th St. Professor J. W.

Boister, of Pittsburg, comprise the executive committee: St. Louis has been chosen as the next meeting place. The well known Amphion Glee Club has begun its weekly rehearsal after a two months vacation, during which many members have been absent from the city. This is the 23d year of its existence, and it probably antedates that of any similar organization here or elsewhere. The membership this season is larger than ever, and plans are being perfected to visit Philadelphia, Washington, and Baltimore during the holidays, and to stage a comic opera at Eastertide. Miss Elizabeth Wilson has returned home after being royally entertained by her brother and sister-in-law and friends in Brooklyn, N. Y.

Of the more than 10,000 visitors at the postoffice it is estimated that not more than 100 colored were there. This is a small showing when you consider the large number of colored employees, and the great crowd could not help but admire the swift and deft manner in which these colored men disposed of the mail. They did not suffer by comparison, although they were working side by side with their more favored brethren. Have you heard of the latest project? It is charitable and yet there is a chance to make pin money for the ladies who are inclined to nurse the sick. The Bee will benefit also. A class to study nurse training (short course) is being organized at 1822 Fourth street northwest. There is no limit to the class, but seven is the number fixed to start with.

Brooks, of Portsmouth, Va., on the 19th of September. They are making their home in Portsmouth, where Mr. Brooks is employed as clerk in the Government Navy Yard. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS Continued from page 4. Mebbe Armond Scott wasn't happy 'cause he put it over his ancient friend Bill Houston. Armond has been waiting for this opportunity since "the Ides of March" became the second week in September. When he met me this week, he was feeling like a two-year-old, and said he had helped to clean the stables out, and drive the money changers from the temple. He sure did feel happy. Dropped into Gray's Tuesday and heard a quartette of 'sable sons of Hawn roasting Doc Washington's Philadelphia speech to a frazzle. And they took a few punches at his Muskogee speech upholding segregation. I think Doc made a bull in both of them speeches, and ought to correct himself. Doc is so hard worked he is liable to make a slip now and then. He's human like the rest of us, and "to err is human, to forgive is divine." He's a pretty good old scout at that. Trouble is in trying to fit a Southern policy to a Northern condition and trying to veneer the South with a sort of "along the line of least resistance" policy, a fellow will get mixed in his dates and just naturally make a bull. Doc Booker T has made some bad bulls, and then again he's done some powerful good. Don't cuss him out 'cause he failed once—just remember he's done a heap of good. As Tom Jones said to me, we got to have a strong leader in the North who won't compromise, and another leader in the South who's strong on compromise. Lord Fauntroy is of the 'pinion that the time is ripe for "subjecting the vigorous to a satisfying administration of varility"—whatever that is—and I guess he's right. Fact is, we are losing ground in the North, and this here compromise policy is largely responsible for it. The bugs down to Gfay's simply lit on to Booker and eat him up alive. But three or four of Jim Gray's whiskey punches will fix some bugs so they will eat up anything—they just ain't accountable after Shady Week, Starting Oct. 5th, Matinees Tues. Thr.-Sat.

BELGIUM LONG A BATTLEGROUND Country Is Gateway Between Powerful Nations. ITS INDEPENDENCE UPHELD. No Nation Would Ever Allow Another to Gain Control of Strategic Point In Time of War—Some of the Famous Battles Fought on Belgian Soil. Prominent Place in History. Brussels.—Look at the map of continental Europe, and it can readily be seen why Belgium has been the theater of European wars from the time of Caesar's invasion and even before Topographically and geographically it forms a natural gateway. No wonder England, France and Germany always have been jealous over the possession of Belgium. The nation that possesses Belgium would have every advantage in an international conflict. It is due mainly to this very jealousy that Belgium has remained an independent state. "If I can't have it, you can't," has been the attitude of each power. So Belgium, small and weak as it appeared to be, has enjoyed extraordinary independence, and nations have vied with each other to win her friendship, so valuable is it esteemed in wartime. Today, as often in the past, events that are to decide the future of Europe are transpiring in Belgium. In Belgium was fought the battle of Waterloo July 18, 1815. On the same day was fought the battle of Wavre, won by the French. As it was, however, Grouchy's victory was useless. He might have saved the day for Napoleon had he arrived at Waterloo in time. The battle of Ligny was fought in Belgium, June 18, 1815. Just two days before the battle of Waterloo. That was Napoleon's last victory. On the same day on Belgian soil was fought the battle of Quatre Bras, won by the British and allies, but their success was rendered fruitless by the Prussian reverse at Ligny. The battle of Jemnapes, Nov. 6, 1792, between the French and Austrians was one of the most important of the French revolution. It was followed by the annexation of the Austrian Netherlands to France. Fontenoy, fought May 11, 1745, in the war of the Austrian succession, resulted in a victory for the French over the combined forces of the British, Dutch and Austrians. It was the last victory of France. Oudenarde, fought July 11, 1708, resulted in the defeat of the French by the English and Imperialists. It was one of the great victories of Marlborough and Prince Eugene over Louis XIV.

July 24, 1603, in the wars of Louis XIV., resulted in a brilliant victory for the French over the English. Ostend was the scene of one of the most memorable sieges in history. It lasted from July, 1601, to September, 1604, and cost many thousands of lives. It was in the war of the liberation of the Netherlands. The siege ended in the surrender of the fortress to the Spanish under Spinola, but the Spaniards lost upward of 70,000 men. Scarcely a house in the town was left standing. The siege of Maestricht lasted from March 12 to June 29, 1579, and resulted in the capture of the city by the Spaniards, who massacred 6,000 men, women and children. Maestricht has been the scene of several other disastrous conflicts. Antwerp likewise has been the scene of conflicts. In 1570-7 an engagement between the local German and Spanish troops resulted in the death of 10,000 persons and the surrender of the citadel by the citizens. In 15S3 the citizens defeated an attempted seizure of the city by the Duke of Anjou. On Aug. 17, 15S5, the citadel capitulated after a thirteen months' siege, one of the most eventful in history, to the Duke of Parma, Spanish viceroy of the Netherlands. The citadel was captured in 1746 and 1792 by the French; in 1793 by the Austrians; in 1794 by the French. In 1809 Bonaparte protected the city against Lord Chatham's attempt to destroy the port and the forts. In 1S14 it was defended against the English by Carnot and surrendered only after the conclusion of peace. May 5. In 1830 during the Belgian revolution the city was bombarded from the citadel by the Dutch General Chasse, who finally was forced to surrender his stronghold Dec. 23, 1S32, after a siege by a French army of 50,000 men under Marshal Gerard. This ended the contest with Holland, and on Dec. 30, 1S32, the citadel, almost wholly destroyed by the bombardment, was occupied by the Belgian troops. Wanted Head as Souvenir.

Princeton, Ind.—Richard Parrett, son of President Parrett of the Princeton Light and Power company, was held up by two men in a dark place near his home. While one held a revolver on him the other took his watch and pocketbook and knife. When Parrett told them they could not get any money on his watch they gave it back to him. Later they gave him his knife and pocketbook after removing the $4 it contained. They also let him examine the loaded revolver with which he had been held up. Finally one said, "Where's that automatic?" The other drew an eighteen dollar pearl handled automatic pistol and gave it to Parrett, saying: "Here, you can have this. We can't get rid of it." An hour before the same men had held up Robert Wilhite, taking 75 cents and returning 50 cents when they learned that it was all he had. The two "philanthropists" are believed to be working the county fairs. WANTED, A RED HAIRED WIFE. Kentuckian Asks a Postmaster to Get Him One. Minneapolis, Minn.—E. A.

In the agricultural regions we are already feeling a revival. In the south better times will come more slowly, but they are bound to come. "The war should be called Europe's economic war. It was the result of economic causes. The side which is strongest financially will win. "The effect upon the United States is also economic. It should make New York city the financial center of the world. "A period of readjustment, decrease in prices of securities and curtailment of industrial and social expenditures, however, must be expected first before the United States can benefit as a result of the war. "When peace comes Europe will have spent her capital, her credit will be sadly impaired, and she will at first buy from us sparingly. "Although the war will bring us greater wealth eventually, we must expect first a tremendous struggle with ourselves, vast readjustments, greater economy." Her Nine Sons Wounded.

Friendship has the skill and observation of the best physician, the diligence and vigilance of the best nurse, and the tenderness and patience of the best mother. A friendship that makes the least noise is very often the most useful; for which reason we should prefer a prudent friend to a zealous one. Real friendship is a slow grower, and never thrives unless engrafted upon a stock of known and reciprocal merit. Never speak well or ill of your self. If well, men will not believe you; if ill, they will believe a great deal more than you say.

For the first time in the history of Kansas, colored nurses and attendants have been given an opportunity to make good in the State institutions. The year 1914 marked the dawning of a new era. Gov. Geo. H. Hodges took the matter up with the men in charge of these institutions, and in less than a month's time colored nurses and attendants were placed on trial at the State hospital in Osawatomie. Governor Hodges in an interview said: "They have made good, and the superintendent is highly pleased with their service, and I feel proud to have been able to thus assist a struggling people. They are citizens and contribute to the State's tax fund, and I believe they should be given an equal opportunity along with other citizens of the State. The colored people are grateful to Gov.

Being a book of symbols, the Revela- tion will not be understood by the world in general: but the Bible assures that when the due time for revealment comes, the wise amongst Hls people, “the wise virgins.” shall understand. The Prophet Dantel, who tells us that the Time of the End ts the time for those wise toward God to understand His great Plan, gives two particular gigns by which this time will be espe. cfally marked: First,"Many sball run to and fro”: second, “Knowledge sball be increased.” (Daniel 12:4) Today we see this prophecy fulfilled. All over the world the people are running to and fro as never before; and all over the world are opportunities for knowl- edge such as have never before been known. The remarkable fulftment of this prophecy characterizes our day a9 the Time of the End. In which this Gospel Axe 1a to be concinded and the Messianic Age to be ushered in—the time when God's people will under- stand and prepare for thelr change. In the Scriptures God bas seen fit to associate the name of Israel's famous battlefield with the great controversy between Truth and Error, Right and ‘Wrong, with which the change of dis- pensation will take place. While the phrase. “Battle of Armageddon.” {s heard on all sides and is applied in many ways, nevertheless Christians re- allze that in the Bible this phrase Is ‘used in a spiritual sense. Therefore if the present {s an opportune time to consider this Battle of the great Day of God Almighty, surely it is the prop- er time to view it from its true re Ugious standpoint. Before’we proceed to set forth our understanding of the symbolic lan- guage of the Revelation, we wish to state most emphatically that we are saying nothing whatever against godly Christians at any time or in any place. in any church or out of any church. ‘We realize that the Word of God con- veys a terrible arraignment of some of the great systems of our day—some that we long have reverenced, that we have esteemed as«containing many of God's people. We have nothing to say against godly Individuals, but what we have to say In the tnterpretation of Seriptore is in respect to these systems. Acencies Mustering the Hosts. | Coming to the Interpretation of the symbols of Revelation 16:13-16, we find that the Scriptures mention three agen- cles connected with the gathering of the hosts to this great battle. We read that three Impure spirits, teachings, will go forth from the mouths of the Drag. on, the Beast and the False Prophet, and that these three will be in accord. ‘These three doctrines, symbolically Tepresented by frogs, are to bave a mighty Infuence throughout the civ. {lized earth: they are, to gather the Kings snd thelr armies to the great Battle of Armageddon. ‘The ecclesiastical kings and princes, ‘with their retinues of clergy and faith fol adherents, will be gathered tn solid phalanz—Protestants and Catho Mes.

Even those who may be God's people do not stop to consider whether it is His will that things should continue as they have been for six thousand years. In giving this interpretation, it Is necessary for us to indicate what ts symbolized by the Dragon, the Beast and the False Prophet. Bible students of nearly all denominations agree with us that the Dragon of Revelation rep- resents the purely Civil Power. Protes- tant Interpreters generally agree with us that the “Beast Ike a leopard” (Rev- elation 13:2 represents the Papacy, But fewer still, we fear, will be ready to Support our view that Protestantism ts the “Image of the Beast” (Rev. 13:15), plsewhere styled “the False Prophet.” We urge no one to accept our inter- Pretation. nor shal! we think unkindly of those who refuse it We will nel- ther slander or otherwise injure them, nor threaten them with eternal torture.

Horrible tndecd would be the out- look for the future did we not have the infallible Word of God assuring us of a glorious sutcome. Divine Wisdom has withhehi until our day the great knowledge and skill which ts breeding both millionaires and discontents. Had God Ifted the’ vell 2 thousand years ago, the world would then bave lined up for its Armageddon. But that date would have been too soon for the DI- | vine Purpose; for God has His own times and seasons, and has appointed the Seventh Thousand-Year Day of the world’s history for the Reign of Christ. Therefore in kindness God yelled our eyes until the time when the gathering to Armageddon would imme- diately precede the inauguration of Messlah’g Kingdom.—Rev. 11:17, 18, St Paul, writing prophetieally of this time, declared that it would be | one of trial and testing to many pro- fessed Christians, for the reason that they received not the Truth In the love of it (2 Thessalonians 2:10, 11.)

Thousands of them had beard of Jesus; and many of them bad been healed by Him Just a short time before, a consider able number bad discussed the proprie- ty of proclaiming Jesus king. Indeed, on the very day after the incident of this lesson, the multitude acclalmed Him king. crying out, “Hosanna in the highest to the Son of David, who cometh in the name of Jehovah!” ‘But the Master knew that the mass- es would be only as children in the bands of the great teachers of the time; and that there was murderous hatred against Him amongst the chief priests, Scribes and Pharisees.

Of the others Great Britain has colonies and protectorates the ‘world over; France has colonies and protectorates in Africa, India, China, fm South America, in the West Indies, 4n the north Atlantic and in the Pacific and Indian oceans; Germany has colo- nial possessions {n: Africa, In China and in the Pacific ocean. Italy has de pendencles in Africa and a concession ta China. ' England's vast empires—India, Cana- éa and Australia; ber holdings on the Malay peninsula, her colonies in Africa and her fortified positions in the Medi!- terranean—Gibraltar and Malta—put her at the head of the colony holding ‘mations of the world. They also in- crease the fleld of her protective opera- tons. 5 Many of the minor holdings of the four powers with colonial possessions to defend are themselves without mill- tary strength. In many cases the pro- tecting powers have only small garri- sons on shore, amounting to nothing more than local police forces. This is particularly true in Africa, outside of the French and British colonies, ir the Pacific ocean and !n American wa: ters. The continent of Africa presents 2 notable picture of the juxtaposition of protectorates and colonies belonging to Great Britain, France and Germany.. France bas a protectorate over Mo rocco, and her Algerian possessions, facing the Mediterranean, are bounded on the east by Tripoll, a dependency o! Italy. Then comes Egypt, where Brit. ish interests are paramount. On the Red sea and contiguous to Egypt 1s the Itallan dependency of Eritrea Coming down the east coast are British Somaliland, Italian Somaliland, British East Africa, German East Africa Portuguese East Africa and then Brit ish South Africa, embracing Rhodesia, the Transvaal, the Orange River Colo ny, Natal and the Cape of Good Hope On the west contiguous in the ordel named are German Southwest Africa | Portuguese West Africa, the Kongc State, belonging to Belgium; the French Kongo, Kamerun, belonging Germany; the Niger territories, a pro tectorate of Great Britain; French West Africa; Togoland, belonging tc Germany; the Gold Coast, the Britist Oolony and the Ivory Coast, annexed by France twenty years ago.
