Washington Bee

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. 20 WASHINGTON, J. D. C., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1914 A GOQD PROMOTION EDWARD SAVOY. Mr. Bryan Makes a Worthy Promotion—Lesson for Republican Administrations. Edward Savoy is a native Washingtonian. He is from one of the best known families in this city and figuratively speaking he possesses royal blood. Mr. Savoy has been a messenger in the State Department for a number of years and has always served Republican administrations faithfully and loyally. He was appointed in 1669 and has been in continuous service since that time. The Bee has known him "from the time the memory of man runneth not to the contrary," and if he has ever missed a day from being upon his feet, The Bee has no record of it. Aside from his diplomatic proclivities, he is a shrewd man and he deserves the title of a polished diplomat. Secretary Bryan found in Mr. Savoy that which was well known to all former Secretaries of State, but none had the temerity to give him credit by a promotion. It is quite evident that Secretary Bryan will recognize and reward merit, no matter what the color of a man's skin is or the curl of his hair. It is the wish of The Bee that Secretary Bryan will live to celebrate his 150th anniversary of his marriage. The Bee extends its congratulations to Secretary Bryan on the occasion of the thirteenth anniversary of his marriage and its congratulations to its old and distinguished friend, Edward Savoy. FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS. Messrs. Richard A. Tilghman, Charles E. Wayne, M. Charity and quite a number of citizens are making progress on the cement sidewalks. They have completed the walk along Wilson Street from Clark Avenue to Fairmount Avenue. At some time in the near future Mr. Tilghman, who is one of the most highly respected citizens here, and his associates will call the citizens together and make a detailed, statement of the aid given by every one. The Prince Georges County School Commission, consisting of Hon. O. B. Zantzinger, president, Hon. Virgil M. Lawrence, Hon. George P. McCeney, and Hon. Eugene S. Burroughs. County Superintendent and secretary-treasurer, is a progressive body. The public schools under their wise administration have progressed wonderfully. The schools have increased in number and efficiency. Where it seemed to be to the advantage of the situation, schools have been consolidated: new and better school houses have been built and the school work has, indeed, been brought to the front. The citizens of Hyattsville, Baden, Capital Heights, Fairmount Heights, Brentwood, Mt. Ranier, Laurel, Bladensburg, Upper Marlboro and throughout the whole county are highly congratulating themselves because of the development of their several communities under the wise management of the present School Board. Within a few years Prince Georges County will stand second to none in the state of Maryland. Mr. James F. Armstrong, LL.B., the supervisor of the colored schools large number of persons went from pression had been made in favor of the order and that a number of accessions will be made to the lodge as a result. Mr. Bundy deserves great credit for the strenuous efforts he is making to give his lodge a clean and efficient administration and place it on first-class financial basis. HALL'S HILL, VA.

Would it not be a good idea for the Bishop to return to New Jersey and attend to his own business. of Prince Georges County and director in charge of Manual Training in the Fairmount Heights School, went to Upper Marlboro Monday and Tuesday on official business. He visited the colored school at Lakeland. Md., Wednesday, October 7. He had the pleasure of meeting there the honorable O. B. Zantzinger and the Hon. Eugene S. Burroughs, who are deeply interested in the education of all the children in the county. It is their wish and determination to see to it that each youth is trained into a good citizen and that the state and country is made better by their having lived. Miss Louise Marshall and Miss Emma Payne, two young ladies now attending the Washington Normal School No. 2, have already developed the great spirit of helpfulness and the spirit of service. The public school here among other things needs window shades. These young ladies conceived the idea, that it would be nice to give a social for the purpose of purchasing shades. After making the necessary arrangements they gave a social which took place at the Fairmount Heights school house. Friday night, October 2. They realized in cash nearly twenty dollars. They were ably assisted by Mrs. Gertrude L. Payne, Mrs. Lottie Marshall, Mrs. Carrie Jenifer and Mrs. Georgia Silence. Mr. W. B. Makel paid the last dollar on his home October 7. Lecased Member Honored Lceased Member Honored One of the most solemn and impressive funeral ceremonies ever witnessed in this part of the county was held at the M. E. Church of Hamilton, Va., over the remains of Mr. Marshall Sandford, who died at his home in Swann Street, on October 1. Mr. Sandford was a member of Columbia Lodge No. 85, I. B. P., of Elks, Washington, D. C., and by special arrangement of the lodge a committee, consisting of the exalted ruler, Mr. E. W. Bundy, Misses J. S. Chapman, P. D. Morris, W. H. Simms and T. Bass were appointed to accompany the body to its final resting place. On their arrival they found a great throng of people assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the deceased, who had spent a large part of his youth and early manhood in their midst. The services were conducted by Rev. Haynes, pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. Chapman of Columbia Lodge, who spoke in glowing terms of the life's work of the brother as a Christian, a husband, a father and a fraternal worker. The eulogy was delivered by Mr. P. D. Morris, who always proves himself equal to such occasions. Mr. Sanford is survived by a wife, two children, one brother and sister. The funeral party returned to the city at 9:30 over the southern railroad. The exalted ruler, Mr. Bundy announced that he thought a good impression had been made in favor of the order and that a number of accessions will be made to the lodge as a result. Mr. Bundy deserves great credit for the strenuous efforts he is making to give his lodge a clean and efficient administration and place it on first-class financial basis. HALL'S HILL, VA.

CHANCELLOR Making a Strong Fight to Return to the Public Schools Here here to Falls Church on a straw ride and enjoyed a splendid time at the Second Baptist Church, where they are holding a fair. Services were as usual at Calloway M. E. Church, M. E. School, 10 a.m., preaching at 11 o'clock by Rev. J. F. Williams. At 3 o'clock Rev. C. E. Queen went to Rosslyn, Va., and preached the anniversary sermon of Queen Esther Household of Ruth, at the First Baptist Church of that town. Music was by the choir from Halls Hill M. E. Church, The Queen of Sheba Household of Ruth from here, several of the Odd Fellows of Hopewell Lodge and the Queen Esther Household from Falls Church and their brethren were in attendance. Short addresses by some of the ladies were made. The first speaker was Mrs. Clara V. Spowden, who was delegate to the last B. M. O. held in Boston, portrayed the order magnificently in a few well chosen words; also Mrs. Lena Dixon, from Falls Church, was present and spoke with much force and cillness. All were encouraged by these ladies. Miss Mary E. Ferguson presided. Mrs. Jennie Tynner and Mrs. Snowden made the collection. We were then at home for services at 8 p.m. and listened to a great sermon by the pastor, Rev. Queene, who used for his text the words, "The last state of that man is worse than the first." The subject was very beautifully explained and enjoyed. Monday evening a rather limited number attended a voting contest in which Mr. Chas. W. Chinn, of Halls Hill, was invited to compete with Mr. Thornton Rhodes, of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, Twenty-ninth Street, Washington, D.C. This really seemed a reproduction of "David and Goliath." The prize to be awarded was a whole ton of coal for the highest number of tickets sold. In great silence all listened- to hear returns from the judges. When the boy from the country came in with $42 for Mr. C. W. Chinn and $6.05 for D. C. West. A most pleasant evening was the occasion, the proceeds to be for the benefit of the rally at Mt. Zion. Mrs. Alice Jones, captain of the public school, is in good condition here. Mr. S. C. Baltimore is principal. Colored Girl Fights for Her Rights As Cornell Student. Ithaca, N. Y., Sept. 30.—In alleged attempt to draw the color line against her daughter, Miss Adalaide Cook, a Cornell first year student, has caused Mrs. Catherine Charles C. Cook, a well-to-do colored woman of Washington, to file a protest with President Shurman and to appeal to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Henry Villard of New York is president. Mrs. Cook says five white girls, students from the South, have created a situation unpleasant for her daughter in Sage Hall Dormitory. These girls, she says, demand that Miss Cook and another colored girl be barred from the dormitory, but such action the authorities refused to take. Mrs. Cook now fears that an effort will be made to segregate her daughter and she proposes to fight. Mrs. Cook, who is very light in complexion, came here several days ago and engaged one of the best rooms. Apparently she was taken for a white woman of possibly foreign birth, as no objection was raised. When the daughter arrived she was recognized immediately as colored and soon the unpleasantness began. Mrs. Cook asserts that the persons in authority in the dormitory suggested that the two girls room together, have a separate bathroom and use a reception room downstairs. When Mrs. Cook inquired if other girls were to use this room she was told that "they could go in there if they liked." That led to her protest to President Schurman. Mrs. Cook contends that under Cornell's charter discrimination on the ground of race is forbidden. Zior: Baptist Church This will be a great Re-opening Home Coming and Rally at M. Zion M. E.

My country, 'tis of thee, Land from all wars now free, Of thee I sing. Praise God for thy blest state, God keep inviolate Our freedom from all hate, And more love give. For countries now at strife, Where millions lay down life At war's dread word, O, God, we plead with thee, Their God and Father be; Them from this war set free; God, stay the sword. This grant today! Thy name we praise in tears, Before thee filled with fears, Forgive, O God, past years; Give peace, we pray. At once set nations fled From war's fell scourge! Thou wilt the nations lead, Chastised they can but heed The call of Christ's own creed, Their sins to purge! MRS. ABIGAIL B. REED. The Famous Woman Evangelist on Extensive Tour Through the South and West. Mrs. Abigail B. Reed, the wife of Rev. Daniel L. Reed, and the successful young woman evangelist in the Baptist denomination in this part of the country, left Washington, D. C., October 3 for an extensive evangelistic tour through the South and West. Mrs. Reed conducted with great success revivals in several of the leading churches of Washington, D. C., during the past winter. She goes on her mission highly recommended by the Washington clergy, bearing many letters of commendation and introduction. Mrs. Reed is one of the few women evangelists who has particularly distinguished herself as an expounder of the Word. As a singer she has but few equals. The Bee commends her to the ministerial brotherhood wherever it may be her lot to work. THE SOCIAL SENSATION. Report Largely Exaggerated—The Lady Is in Brooklyn, N. Y., and the Man Was in Chicago—No Truth in An Elopement. The sensational report that has been in circulation among the gossipers that a young lady had eloped to Chicago with a gentleman is untrue. The entire affair has been exaggerated. At the time the alleged report was circulated the lady was in Philadelphia, Pa., and from there she went to Brooklyn, N. Y., while the gentleman was in Chicago, Ill., on business. The tongue of the gossiper has done all parties an injustice, as no wrong has been committed and none was intended. Bureau Operators Request Segregation. A petition was recently presented to Director Jos. E. Ralph asking that the colored operators be separated from the charwomen's dressing room. It is said their request was denied. Of the few petitions to the paper the lady charwomen, who are a very intelligent set of women, are indignant at such a proposal and silly request. It is the general topic at the bureau. Resigns. Mr. Lewis E. Johnson, secretary of the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, resigned at a regular meeting of that body last Tuesday evening. Mr. Johnson is one of the best known men in this country and his connection with the association has been one of success. He and his wife have gone to Chicago, Ill., to live, where he will enter upon the practice of law. Mr. Calvin W. Chase, the editor of the Washington Bee, was kind enough to publish an article by me on physical culture in last Saturday's issue of The Bee, giving my views on how to improve the race. Thanks to Mr. Chase. A series of short lectures will appear in The Bee from time to time on air and how to breathe, on food and what to eat and drink, and how to exercise. My first will appear in next Saturday's issue of The Bee, October 10. J. E. OLDEN. Prophecies.

White, of Washington City, is here in New York in search of a ship to carry American citizens from Liberia to the United States. After a successful tramp all day he succeeded in obtaining a ship from the Hamburg American Line. He left for Washington today after having made all the necessary arrangements for the ship to bring colored American citizens from Liberia to the United States. "Some bad weather we're having, judge." "Oh, no; all days look fine to us." CHAPLAIN PRAISES SIR JOHN FRENCH Commander Often Spends Night In the Hospital. INSPIRESGREAT CONFIDENCE Priest Who Went to Front With Army Saw No German Cruelty—British Soldiers, Realizing That They Are Fighting For Very Life of Country, Have to Be Restrained. New York.—The first American to reach this country from the scenes of actual fighting in the European war has arrived here. He is the Rev. James Malloy, a Roman Catholic priest, who served as chaplain at the front with the British forces under Sir John French. Father Malloy, who is a native of this country, had a parish on North Island, New Zealand, and is returning to the antipodes. He was in London when war broke out and asked to go with the army as chaplain. He left London with the British troops on Aug. 17 and five days later saw the first battle, which was at Mons. He said the fire of the British soldiers was withering and that Germans went down by the thousands before it. He described the shells from the German alege guns as terrifying. Wherever M. they struck, ho said, a great cloud of dirt and smoke was thrown up and houses were completely destroyed. Father Malloy declared the bullets used by both sides in the battle of Mons were humane ones and that if they hit a part not vital the wounded soldier had a splendid chance for recovery. He observed no atrocities. He saw many British wounded who had been in German hands and heard no complaints. He counted thirty-five aeroplanes in the air along the river Marne, but few of them were German. The British, he said, kept up a terrific artillery fire at night, the positions of the Germans being found out by aviators, who signalled by lights and gave the gunners a splendid chance to get the ranges. He paid great tribute to Sir John French, leader of the British forces, and told of the fine esprit de corps, for which he and his methods of discipline were largely responsible. "I cannot imagine a finer morale than that of the British soldiers," he said. "Their fighting qualities are marvelous. Every man in the field knows he is fighting for the very life of his country. Their indomitable efforts are inspired by Sir John French. "So eager are these men to attack the foe that they actually have to be restrained. Sir John is a soldier with his men rather than an officer commanding them—of course, I mean when the troops are not in action. Whatever he says is right, and the men of the line as well as the officers will carry out his orders to the letter. I have seen him talk with the wounded soldiers. Often he spends a night in the hospital. His presence inspires a confidence among the men on the cots. They feel that their commander is with them, and they all feel more anxious than ever to get well quickly, that they may go out to attack the enemy. Men will surely fight for a man like French "The fighting of the British and French has been marvelous. The Germans, I think, have encountered an enemy they little bargained for. At Senlis the right wing of the German army turned just in the nick of time, or they would have been annihilated by the re-enforcements that came up from the south. If the Germans had waited another twenty-four hours they would have been wiped out completely. 'The' Germans are outnumbered in aeroplanes, which are an absolute necessity in finding the positions of the infantry.' Most of the fighting is being done in the trenches, with occasional sorties in the open, and it is absolutely impossible to find the intrenched enemy except by aeroplanes." London.—The London Times prints this: "Wanted-Petticoats for all able bodied youths in this country who have not yet joined the army or navy. WHERE EXPORTS WERE SENT Canada Gets Most of Its Imported Foreign Goods From the United States. Washington.—What and how much the nations of the world bought from the United States before the outbreak of the war, as told by American counsular officers, are discussed in "Commercial Relations of the United States," a volume of 272 pages, just issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. Four countries other than the United States offer each a market for over a $1,000,000,000 worth of foreign products annually—the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Netherlands. Great Britain bought $3,000,000,000 worth, about 20 per cent of which is from this country; Germany, $2,500,000,000, with 15 per cent from the United States; France, $1,500,000,000, of which 11 per cent is from the United States, and the Netherlands, an important center for the transshipment of foreign goods, nearly $1,500,000,000, in which American goods figure to the extent of about 10 per cent. Belgium's annual purchases fall just short of $1,000,000,000 in value, United States products supplying about 8 per cent, while Austria-Hungary, Italy, Canada, Russia, India, Australia, Argentina and Japan are next in order with imports ranging from $722,000,000 to about $300,000,000. These countries vary greatly in the proportion of their purchases from the United States, Canada taking 63 per cent and India 3 per cent. Brazil's imports exceed $308,000,000, only 15 per cent of which are from the United States, which takes 40 per cent of the Brazilian exports. WISCONSIN MEN STRIKE GOLD. Find Mine In Colorado, and Ore Assays $190 a Ton. Steamboat Springs, Colo.—Gold ore assaying $100 per ton has been struck in the Royal Flush mine, at Hahn's Peak, in a vein from three and one-half to four feet in thickness and of a continuous length. The assays also show good values in silver and lead. The strike was made in a drift leading from the 1,540 foot funnel. The strike is being rapidly opened, a depth of forty feet already being reached. Several inches of almost virgin ore was found on the hanging wall, and this is being sacked for shipment. This mine is owned, by a number of Wisconsin capitalists and is regarded as one of the richest in the Hahn's Peak territory. HIGH COST OF LUNCH IS BEING REDUCED Twenty Gents a Meal For Employees of Uncle Sam. Washington.—Director Ralph in solving the high cost of living for the 4,700 employees, of the bureau of engraving and printing has arranged it so that these people get the best things in the market at the lowest possible cost. Twenty cents a meal is the average cost to each cater. Mr. Ralph is of the belief that the same system he has installed at the bureau can be instituted in the big cities in the event of a crisis, and there are many experts who back his views. Instead of the employees of the bureau bringing their lunches Mr. Ralph installed a lunch room, which is cooperatively owned by those who dine there. The 4,700 employees of the bureau were told of the new scheme before it was installed, so that it was through their co-operation that the present system was brought about. The men each put up $1, to start their lunch room. The women were taxed 50 cents, all who could afford it. And they merely loaned the money. In two months' time, when the system has been six months old, this money will be refunded. With the $2,500 subscribed in this manner Director Ralph set about installing on the top floor of the fine new bureau building a modern kitchen and dining room. He went to New York and purchased the dishes. Then he selected a good head cook, a first class steward, a man who knew how to buy in the open market. Director Ralph employed sixty other men to take care of the hungry. Any person connected with the bureau can have a first rate meal for 20 cents, or, if the diner feels extravagant, 25 cents may be expended. At present the prices are higher, it is said, than they will be. A cup of coffee now costs 5 cents. Eventually this will be brought down to 3 cents. But coffee, milk and tea are minor details. The main meal is the thing. Here is a sample menu: Half fried chicken, mashed potatoes, sliced tomatoes and corn, bread and butter and ple, 20 cents. Corned beef and cabbage, mashed potatoes, beets, bread and butter and dessert, 20 cents. Gets a "Spectacled" Duck. San Francisco.—Information received here from Alaska says that Lord William Percy, naturalist and sportsman, who left San Francisco several months ago for a hunting trip in the arctic, has bagged a "spectacled" elder duck, which had been supposed to be extinct. Lord Percy crawled on his stomach for half a mile to get the bird, a male. BIG CATCH OF SALMON. Season a Long and Fruitful One in Alaskan Waters. Astoria, Ore.—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 dishing 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, 7,355 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 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 "diddlers" 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 physicans 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. Paris.—Jules Vedrines, the French air man, is chasing 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." BERLIN WILD AS KAISERIN SMILES Thousands at Palace Windows After Hearing of Victory. NEWS AS GERMANS GET IT. Stories of Great Success Against the Russian Forces in Eat Prussia—Russians Rode Into Mouths of Machine Guns, and Hundreds Were Killed. Say Czar's Men Are Careless. New York. The enthusiasm of the crowds in Berlin over German successes is depicted in a dispatch to the Kölnsche Zeltung from Berlin. The dispatch contains the first mention of the kaiserin's presence in Berlin since the beginning of hostilities and tells of a touching scene around the imperial palace. The dispatch says: "A large crowd of people assembled in front of the palace last night and with great enthusiasm called time and again for the kalserin. As stated in the Vossische Zeltung (the official organ), the latter appeared twice at a window and waved to the crowd, deeply moved. A man in the crowd made a abort address, and the kalserin waved her thanks to him. Then she withdrew. "But the crowd continued to wait for her to reappear until a late hour. At 11 o'clock it was scarcely believed by any one that the kalserin would show herself again. Suddenly the curtin of her window was seen to move. The kalserin appeared and waved to the crowd. Behind her stood the crown princess. The whole scene lasted only a minute or two, and then everything was dark again. Then a movement was noticed behind a large balcony window in the middle of the palace. The doors were opened, and the kalserin and the crown princess stepped out, followed by a man in civilian attire. "Noticeably deeply moved, the kalserin waved her handkerchief. The crown princess with an extremely ```markdown ``` THE GERMAN KAISERIN. graceful gesture asked for silence. The crowd suddenly became quiet, whereupon the man in civilian attire, a brother of War Minister von Falkenhahn, made an announcement which was interpreted by the crowd as another report of a victory. Then expressions of great joy burst forth such as will never be forgotten. The scene on the balcony was equally impressive. The kalserin in tears embraced the crown princess, and the mother and daughter kissed each other. After the crown princess had kissed the kalserin's hand both were compelled to wave acknowledgment of the crowd's joyous cries." A dispatch in the Kolnische Zeitung contains a description of a battle between the Germans and Russians on the border line in East Prussia, and the writer, who professes to have taken part in the victorious German assault, satirizes the valor of the Russian officers. "The Russians," he says, "rode practically into the mouth of our machine gun fire as a result of their unusual carelessness. In a few minutes the entire oncoming force of horsemen were piled up in a shapeless mass. On closer examination we found that practically all of the horses as well as the men were dead, so terrible was the effect of our fire at a range of scarcely more than 310 yards. We were astonished when we discovered that in the countless number of dead Russians, except for a few petty officers, there was not a single officer of higher rank. The puzzle was soon solved. A patrol that we sent out found the entire company of officers together a mile or two to the east. They preferred to view the fighting from a safe distance and to let their men run up against us practically without any direction. They were, of course, made captives at once." ASKS TEXAS FOR' AN AUTO. Father of Seventeenth Thinks State Should Reward Him. Austin. Tex.-As a reward for having a family of seventeen children P. K. DeLany of Seguin, Guadalupe county, has requested the governor to give him and his wife and children an automobile to convey them to and from church and Sunday school, the church being seven miles from where they live. The request came in a letter received by the governor, and accompanying it was a picture of the family. DeLany writes: "Our family group is supposed to be one of the largest in the state, consisting of seventeen children (ten daughters, seven sons), one son-in-law, one granddaughter, father and mother. All are alive and healthy, without a mark or blemish. Fifteen of the children are at home and two are married—Mrs. John Anderson of Seguln and Mrs. Ross McCullough of Moore. We live seven miles from church and Sunday school. "Don't you think the state ought to appreciate us enough to give us an automobile to attend church and Sunday school? We hope for an early reply." Governor Colquitt answered, thanking DeLany for the great service he has rendered the state, but informed him that there was no appropriation for furnishing automobiles in recognition of such accomplishments. FASTS FOR FORTY-FIVE DAYS. Woman Loses Twenty-eight Pounds and Conquers Indigestion. Epokane. Wash.-Mrs. Boyd Culver, forty-one, of Eureka, Mont, has just completed a forty-five day fast. She came here suffering from chronic indigestion and started on the fast under the direction of Dr. Aubrey Dodson. During the forty-five day period Mrs. Culver ate nothing and drank nothing except water up to the last week, when she began taking small quantities of lemon and orange juice. She lost twenty-eight pounds during the period, dropping from 115 to 57. After a week of eating her weight increased to 105. She is entirely cured. Paris.—A Red Cross nurse, who has been at Rheims since the first shells fell, says the Germans behaved in the most correct manner on their entry into the place, when neither civil nor military authorities remained in the town. Many of the officers and men believed they were only fifteen miles from Paris. "One day," says the nurse, "a young officer whose uniform was tattered and extremely dirty asked me politely in the street, after saluting me, whether I could receive some wounded in my hospital. I replied that it was impossible as the place was already full and we were unable to feed those who were there. The officer thanked me. I saw him then go to a shop, where he made some purchases. He came out of the shop with his hands filled with sausages and other eatables. The ragged young officer was Prince August Wilhelm, the kalser's fourth son. "The German general explained that the first bombardment was due to a misinterpretation of an order given to the battery. "The Germans began to leave on Sept. 11, and the French arrived the next day. "On the day the cathedral was struck by the first shells we were compelled to empty the hospital. We transferred the injured during the night while there were two hours of quiet and installed them in champagne vaults. I had forty myself in one cellar. We were compelled to search for provisions during the day, and in this work five religious and three lay female nurses were killed. "Life in the vaults was terrible, and I fear it is still continuing. Tetanus and gangrene threatened each sufferer, and infection had to be fought every minute, which was most difficult, as many of the wounded were unable to move. Between 7 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the evening I counted 180 shells falling or passing immediately over us. The odor from the bursting shells made breathing sometimes impossible. The uproar was such that it was impossible to hear, and we were obliged to shout into each other's ears. "About 5 o'clock each afternoon aeroplanes came and dropped bombs, which caused more damage than the shells, as they set fire to the houses. "A merchant of Rheims estimates the damage at 350,000,000 francs ($70,000,000)." Fifty-nine War Ministers In France. Paris.—The appointment of Theophile Delcasse as French minister of war makes the fifty-ninth change in that post in the last forty-three years—that is to say, since the establishment of the third republic. The record compares unfavorably with that of the German war office, which has had only six different chiefs since 1871, while during that same period Great Britain has had fourteen. WHAT FIGHT IN AFRICA MEANS. 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 on 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 old combination plant is believed to be the true one. U. S. TO SHOW FARMER HOW TO MAKE PROFIT To Conduct Farm Survey School With Experts as Teachers. 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 fail 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, herefore, 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 dealrability of concluding conventions for that purpose. These countries are Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Dutch Guinea, Paraguay, Venezuela, Guantamala, Nicaragua and Panama. The American postal service heretofore has reached other countries or 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. TO LOCATE AND MAP ALL BAD OYSTER BEDS 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 germs 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 coast. Chesapeake 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 byster 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 Prankish. 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 store. She then tried to lift something from a pan of water on the store, 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 rifle.

Complaints have been made against the colored people because they have failed to support their own institutions. The Industrial Savings Bank has been in existence a little over a year, and the commendation it has received from the bank examiner is an evidence of its stability and the honesty and integrity of its officials. The Bee had occasion to hear from the lips of the United States Bank Examiner last week after they had made an examination of the bank's books the highest compliment that has ever been paid bank officials. The compliment, coming from government officials, who called unexpectedly at this bank, before the arrival of any of the bank officials, and the books demanded and presented to them without any hesitancy, certainly places this bank and its officials head and front of any bank in this country. The remark of the bank examiner was that the Industrial Savings Bank is the best managed and conducted bank in the United States. What better compliment could have been made? If the officials had not deserved it, certainly the examiners would have never have made it. The books and everything were found to be in a first-class condition. Now, here are two men who have come up from the lower walks in life, that one was a hod carrier and the other a barber. The former didn't possess all of that refinement that is generally credited to bank presidents; the latter was a barber, but possessing a common school education. Neither had any banking experience when they entered the business. What, then, is the result? They are recognized today as two of the most competent and successful business men in the community. They have surpassed all college graduates that ever conducted a bank or a loan association. The colored people in this city have from time to time been systematically robbed, either by Negro bank officials or building and loan associations or co-operative stores. Is there any reason why colored people lose confidence in Negro industries that are started in this city? The office Negro and the Negro who believes that he is superior to his own people have been monumental failures. Here we have two men, not office holders, not society dudes, because society has been the ruination to many Washington Negroes, but two men who are looking out for the interest of all the people and their patrons. What has society done for the working classes of colored people? How many banks, loan and building associations have been organized by the society Negro and failed? The average Washington Negro and more especially the office holders, have gone mad on social recognition or society, which will send any body to the mad house. If the society Negro could only get it out of his head that he is not in a position to play the society dude he would not be walking upon his "uppers" today. The Bee would advise the thrifty and progressive colored citizen to start and promote business. Many a Washington Negro and those who have come from the corn and cotton fields of the South to this city are today six feet under ground from society craze. Another thing has affected the Negro is his attempt to play white. This craze has been the death of so many colored men and women. There was a bank in this city several years ago that thought color would carry it through to the SEGREGATION. The question of segregation in the several departments of the government should interest colored Americans more than this European butchery. This government, if it went to war with a foreign foe, would want colored Americans. It is not only a shame, but a disgrace to American civilization to know that the United States government" tolerates and sanctions discrimination in the conduct of the government. The South has carried this infamous doctrine of segregation to the very walls in the North and the precincts in the East. What does this government expect the colored man to do? Certainly he is no fool, and he doesn't propose to submit tamely to these nefarious and diabolical acts of race prejudice without any cause whatever. The colored pulpit should do its duty. It is silent in everything but collecting money to go abroad. The colored pulpit has a duty to perform and it should get to work. One of the most ridiculous and most crazy occurrences took place in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing a few days ago that has ever shocked the brains of humanity. The Bee is informed that a certain colored woman raised a rough house and reported the affair to Director Rolph, because the colored scrub women were permitted to use the toilets set apart for colored women. Whoever heard of such a thing? Here are Negro women working together and because some hold a little better position, so to speak, than the other, those who hold inferior positions must not come in contact with the saitied ones who feed the poor or do other work that may be a little better, in salary, than that done by the scrub women. Director Rolph who generally does things for the betterment of all concerned, has adjusted the matter to the satisfaction of both sides. The Bee cites these circumstances to let the readers of The Bee see how foolish some colored people are, and how their conduct looks in the estimation of more intelligent people. Because a human being holds an inferior position than another, must it be said that such a person must be prevented from entering the Kingdom of Heaven? Must the cart driver, who has lived an upright and Christian life be barred from the Kingdom of Heaven because upon earth he worked in the dirt? Many of the char women in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing come from some of the best families in the city. In many instances there is more segregation among colored people than there is among any other nationality. The Negro is the only nationality who is ashamed of himself. Many of them are better satisfied in the company of an inferior white person than they are in the company of the most refined blacks. Segregation has taken a strong hold on the members of many colored church members and certain would-be social lights have become infected with the disease which is more effective than the "bontanic plague." Since the incoming administration many of these social kleptomaniacs have been given a ticket of leave man. If Dr. Booker T. Washington has been reported correctly, The Bee is of his opinion that Negroes should beautify their homes and their surroundings and let the white people have all the enjoyment they can get out of segregation, but there should be no segregation under the government. This government is the only one that discriminates against its citizens. This is the only government that uses its citizens in time of war and kicks them out of the back door when peace is declared. It is all well enough for Negroes to be Democrats, when that party gives them equal rights, but any Negro who is kicked into mince meat after he has sacrificed his body for that party and continues to support it is either insane or a traitor to his race. "Segregation, thou art a Democratic jewel and a Negro asset." MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHUNG. Judging from the variety of interpretations placed upon what some are wont to denominate a coup de maitre on the part of high officials in the school system, one would be inclined to reach the conclusion that the schools are on the verge of the "demnition pawwows." Some construe what was said at the M Street High School as a veritable exhibition of the spirit of the worst form of monopoly, wherein the most refined automatism dominates the operative forces. Others regard the incident as nothing more than a necessary and commendable reminder that proper and effective organization becomes impossible where there exists not only a want of esprit de corps, but unmistakable demonstrations of rampant insubordination; and a determination to so adjust or readjust matters in such manner as to insure, beyond peradventure, the ends for the accomplishment of which the school system has been instituted. Still others express the opinion that the incident did not altogether lack the impulse of bureaucracy which arrogates to itself a certain self-importance and indispensability out of all proportion to the merit of the circumstances. These and many other views equally variant have been heard expressed in and around this city; with none of which can we wholly agree. Certainly, those who charge an insistence upon autonomism in the system can not be unmindful of the value of individuality as a means of impressing character upon the pupil and of the utter folly of undertaking to eliminate that factor in a system of education. Nor are autonomism and individuality necessarily inconsistent with each other. It is quite possible to institute a scheme of education to which the highest types of approved individuality may be accommodated without prejudice in any respect. To be sure, there is always room for legitimate differences of opinion as to the relative efficacy of educational methods, opinions based upon individual experiences, observation and comparative analysis; but if the ultimate results are equally efficient or satisfactory, the question is one of administration to be dictated by those intrusted with the conduct of the organization; otherwise nothing but demoralization, disorganization and in inefficiency would inevitably result. As to the second class referred to, the main complaint, if any be reasonably tolerable, lies in the propriety of intimating that a whole corps of public servants, without exception, deserved the spectacle of a club swung over them, when a proper discretion would dictate the discovery of certain chronic culprits and marplots and the confinement of rebukes and other disciplinary treatment to such wrong doers. That there are certain disturbing cliques and rings and individuals who persist in being obstreperous, insubordinate and incorrigible is not telling tales out of school: it is common property, a scandal and a shame. It is also equally true that the great majority of our teachers are loyal, energetic, progressive and enthusiastic workers for the most effective and commendable harmony and co-operation in school administration; and the community may proudly and gratefully bear testimony to their noble endeavors. It is this element which deserves considerate treatment and can consistently demand it; and in the main no doubt receive it. Still it remains an open question as to whether it was kind to deal so harshly with a class of loyal teachers, although some may take the ground that one should not take umbrage at the appearance of a cap that in no wise fits. Concerning the notion that the officials used the occasion referred to to show the "bigness" or smartness, or vaulting sense of "indispenability," there is not in our opinion the slightest ground for the assumption. From a study of the character and abilities of the officials concerned it may be confidently maintained that free speech and consistent criticism are invited under a sense of the great importance of an exchange of opinion based upon knowledge and experience, and that said officials are as solicitous of the individual rights of teachers as they are insistent upon the full contribution of pedagogical effort and corps unity. In short, a calm and fair view of the much-talked-of incident can reveal, at most, nothing more objectionable than that of furnishing some sort of pretext to question the propriety of shearing the sheep in the presence of the lambs. A SQUARE DEAL. Now that we have an up-to-date Normal School building, the importance of urging upon the Board of Education the propriety and wisdom of including in the estimates for the coming year an appropriation adequate to the fullest and most approved equipment is very apparent. And by equipment we do not mean simply furniture and internal and external embellishments, for these are in a large measure provided for in appropriations now available. We need an increase in the number of teachers and a judicious pruning or transplantation of some of the corps now engaged in work in that quarter. There is no good reason why the teaching force in Normal School No. 2 should be required to produce educational re- sults equal to those expected from Normal School No.1, when the former has a teaching force of but twelve, while the latter has one of twenty. In other words, under existing conditions, the colored Normal School is required to train and fully equip 119 Normal students with a training force of 12 teachers, while the white Normal School is called upon to do the work upon 158 pupils with 20 teachers. Approximately each teacher in the former school must equip 10 students while in the latter each teacher is called upon to equip 8. Upon the assumption that this condition expresses the relative superiority of colored teachers, it might be taken as a compliment; but taking matters as they are generally represented and insisted upon, it takes the bare phase of injustice. For our part, we insist upon perfect equality of equipment, but we are too modest to be persuaded that discrimination, as to numbers, against the colored Normal School is honestly and truly predicated in the admission that taking the corps as a whole, a colored teacher can accomplish one-fifth more with a pupil than a white teacher can. We therefore feel fully justified in asking that one or two more teachers he appointed in the colored Normal School. We are aware, however, that the needed appropriation must be deferred at least a year, but certainly it would not be unreasonable to urge that conditions shall be adjusted, and at once, as to insure the greatest possible harmony and efficiency; for it should ever be borne in mind that the public interest and not that of the particular individual should be paramount. ABOLISH THEM. The Bee is very much interested in St. Lukes, and the progress it has made under the leadership of that very excellent woman, Mrs. Maggie Walker. Last week this organization held an election of officers, that is, a delegated body elected a district deputy and a home deputy. The charge was that 14 councils that were permitted to participate and vote were unfinancial, and against the protest of the delegates who represented councils that were financial those unfinancial councils were permitted to vote, which, under the constitution makes the electors of last week unconstitutional. There have been several ugly charges made against the conduct of this organization which should be investigated immediately by the board of directors, and if found true in connection with the illegal election of last week, this election should be declared void. The Bee, in conjunction with many others think that there should be no district and associate deputy in this city. In course of time these officers will cause the disorganization of the order in this city. The grand officers should carefully consider these suggestions. What is the relation of this organization to the association? Is the hall at the corner of Thirteenth and You streets the property of the St. Lukes or the property of members of St. Lukes and other outsiders? If so, then the organization in fact has no property right in the hall. This being a fact, the board of directors should recommend that either the hall be transferred to the organization as its property, and if this is refused, let the national body authorize the purchase of a St. Luke hall in deed and in fact. If this property is not in the name of the St. Lukes in deed and in fact, then the name of the organization should not be used and neither should it be allowed. There was too much steam roller politics displayed last week, which should not be tolerated. Even delegates outside of the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia were permitted to vote, which is a violation of the constitution and laws governing the association. Let there be some action taken at once. The Bee is Washington's leading paper, edited by colored Americans. It is supported by the people who believe in clean, up-to-date journalism. A clean paper is one that will expose dirt and sweep it in the canal. The best evidence of The Bee's popularity is the advertisements of the largest firms in the city, and its reader are among the honest and moral people in the community who doesn't fear that "each bush is an officer." When The Bee turns on the light you will see what you will see. As an advertising medium The Bee leads all journals ever published in this city or exist now. The people support The Bee because it is a fearless defender of their rights and liberties. The suspects will cry out when you point your finger toward them and plead guilty before they are accused. Why do the guilty flee when no one pursueth? The Bee leads and all others try to follow. HOLD OVER REPUBLICANS. There are a few hold over Republicans in office, who are not trying to cater to the Democratic party or to the Democratic administration by persuading colored office holders. The Bee called the attention to these apologetic Republicans before, but it seems that they are getting no better. If Mr. Wilson would take a hand in these affairs there would not be so many complaints against colored office holders. In the city post office there are a few hold over Republicans who have been catering to the Democratic administration ever since it has been in power, and there are several colored office holders who have suffered at the hands of these hold overs. The Bee hopes to see a few of these men given to understand that the administration will not tolerate or endorse these segregation orders that are-being inaugurated in the several departments under the present administration. SCHOOLS CONGESTED SCHOOLS CONGESTED. This year finds the colored schools even crowded to such extent that more room and more teachers are needed. Now, if the Board of Education will recommend to Congress immediately the necessity of having more teachers, it will do a handsome act. In the different divisions there is a big increase in attendance. At least from 10 to 18 teachers are needed in addition to those we have. The schools are all congested and Assistant Superintendent Bruce is in a quandry as to what to do with this great increase, with no room and not enough teachers. The schools are doing well and the teachers, with but two or three exceptions, are making records. Give us more room and additional teachers. REV. WHITE. Rev. James L. White may be classed among the foolish men of the colored race, but whatever he undertakes or does he is generally successful. Some time last week a delegation of ministers called on the Secretary of War and asked him for a ship to bring from Siberia American Negroes. The Secretary remarked to the delegation that he would see about it. This remark didn't satisfy one member of the delegation, and he was Rev. James L. White, one of the most successful ministers in the United States. He replied by telling the Secretary, that if he, the Secretary, did not give them a ship he would get one. Go and get one, remarked the Secretary, and so he has. The other members of the delegation were very much chagrined at Rev. White, but Rev. White informed his dissatisfied delegation that he knew what he was talking about and he did, from the fact Rev. White has now his ship on the Hamburg American Line to which will bring stranded American citizens from Libera. Africa, to the United States. Rev. White deserves the plaudits of the American Negro, notwithstanding the rebuke of his delegation. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I was confabbing with Finley Wilson last week, and he recited to me the story of his ousting from the Sun. He was very bitter against some people who he thinks had a hand in his canning. He sort of intimated that he might in the near future make the canning proposition public. * _ * I'm mighty glad the crab season is near 18 close, cause I certainly do love them there swine of the sea, but I do hate like all blazes to pay 15 cents for one that has a suspicion of crab meat and a half pound of stale bread. I been .telling Jim Gray, Aaron Gaskin and the other hash house proprietors, including my friend Dade, who operates a money-making machine on the avenue, that 15 cents was a pretty stiff price to pay for these things, but they seem to think that anything that they couldn't get two hundred per cent profit on, when liquor licence had been raised .50 per cent just wasn't worth handling. Mebbe next season, when crabs come in, they will listen to my argument and drop to ten cents for these devil crabs that are more devil bread than crabs. They are mighty luscious, let me tell you, and all three of the places I named do know how to make them mighty pallatable. Put them down to ten cents next season and they will come nearer fitting my pocket book, since this administration has begun to cut colored employees' salaries 25 per cent, more or less. And this reminds me that there ain't many off-colored government employees that are talking about going to their home states this-fall. I was talking with Billy Clifford the other day, 'and he was sure whether he could get away or not. Nev Thomas, who incidentally runs the N. A. A. C. P. when he ain't teaching, didn't think he would go home to vote, although Nev has been hollering considerable about people what don't exercise the right of suffrage, and giving Booker T. just hale Columbia because Booker don't talk much about contending for the right to vote. Charley Hall will be too busy to get away for the fall elections, too, and likewise a bunch of others. Well, I don't blame the boys much. It wouldn't be much fun to blow themselves for the price of a ticket home to vote, and then when they returned find that they had been moved out on the dump or had their salary cut two or four hundred. R Wordy is about the only fellow who dares to go home and vote, cause R Wordy is playing out in deep center for the Demmies, it looks to me. But he didn't go home to vote when the Republicans were in and he was just 'spirin' to be Assistant Register of the Treasury. Nobody can beat R Wordy changing. My advice to the boys is stick right on your jobs; don't even take a vacation to change your summer clothes, cause you don't know what will happen. But in the meantime you had better cut out a lot of this talk about exercising the right of suffrage, cause talking about it in high C, and declining to practice what you preach merits the "inconsistent" tag. For heaving's sake, don't get tagged. For the eleventh time, I'm going to blow on colored barber shops in this town. Why don't they give a fellow ten cents' worth of service for a dime? Don't everybody rise up and answer at once. I dropped in a white barber shop over in Georgetown last Saturday, and got shaved, and, take it from me, I got everything that was coming to me for a dime—powder, hot towel, face cream, etc. If you should get out a search warrant to locate face cream in most of our colored barber shops you wouldn't locate a spoonful in one year. I forgot to mention that the white barber shop took me for a foreigner. I just went in, made signs, and was shown to a chair, and the barber thought I was a half brother to Carranza who came on here to get Woody to recognize his brother as the real high monk down in Mexico. Now let me suggest to colored barber shops that they will increase trade and please their customers if they run their shops just like Italians and Greeks run theirs, right up to the minute, with everything in the way of toilet articles a decent shop is suspected of having. Say, brother, have you heard the rumor of a big scandal out in LeDroit Park? Don't mention it to a soul, but I got the tip, while swapping reminiscences with a couple of Al gossipers at Howard Theatre Friday evening, that some busybodies were incubating a duplex scandal out in LeDroit Park. Keep it mum till you get the real dope. Chase knows about it, but Chase won't tell, cause Chase has a leather medal for keeping secrets, except those he publishes in The Bee. And this is to remind you that The Bee is still making honey; that The Sun ain't shining with the same fierceness as a thirty-candal electric light, and that The Moon ain't rose up yet out of the nebular stuff old astronomers call clouds. I heard a whisper, but I don't take much stock in it. that R. Wordy, Nev Thomas and one or two others might start a new paper to be called The Star. Come on, boys, just give us the whole terrestrial firmament at the head of alleged newspapers, and The Bee will still cling to the aparistic name.

I wonder if we can't overcome that feeling away habit this year and stick to the end? 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 those countries, and that the European countries will use the canal in most of their traffic 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 3,000 miles, and between New York and western South America by from 3,500 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 occident and orient 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 datn at hand seems to justify an estimate of about 3,000,000 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 7,000,000 tons are estimated at from $250,000,000 to $300,000,000 per annum. The canal will chop huge amounts from these charges." Hen Identifies Owner In Court. Trenton, N. J.-The saying that chickens always come home to roost was verified in court here when Betty, a pet hen, flew across the courtroom and into the outstretched arms of Patrick McGlone. McGlone 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.

JACKSON. 321 Third St. S. W. Attest: JAMES TANNER, Register of Wills for the District of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court. After Many Years on Old U. S. S. Constellation, as Owner Predicted. Washington.—Josephus Daniels, secretary of the nary, vouchers for this story, which is given herewith as it was prepared by one of Mr. Daniels' aids: When it was announced recently that the historic sailing ship Constellation was to be overhauled, preparatory to taking part in the celebration at Baltimore of the centennial anniversary of "The Star Spangled Banner," the secretary of the navy received a letter from Mrs. Rosa Kenney Winston of Windsor, N. C., which stated that her father, Dr. Kenney, had served on the Constellation during and after the civil war and in the course of his service had lost a ring given to him by her mother. He had always said that the ring would never be found until the ship was overhauled at a navy yard. She requested that a watch be kept in case the ring should be discovered. The commandant at the Norfolk navy yard was notified accordingly and has just forwarded to the navy department the ring, which has been recovered after these many years. 'It was found under the iron covering plates of the anchor bits on the gun deck forward and has been sent to Mrs. Winston. PEANUT FARM PROFITABLE. Total Yield in Oklahoma Is Worth Thousands of Dollars. Oklahoma City-Although planting of peanuts has been delayed to some extent by the heavy rains, the reports that are received from many sections of the state where peanuts are being grown are highly encouraging, and it is expected that the total yield this year will be greater than that of last year by half. The soil throughout the state is in such excellent condition that there will be a great amount of late planting, which will make splendid yields, and in sections of the state where cotton and other crops have been seriously damaged by the heavy rains, and where replanting of those crops is likely to prove a losing venture, it has been suggested that peanuts be planted, as they will thrive in weather conditions that would prove detrimental to other crops. BERLIN RAGES AT JOHN BULL SIGNS Anything French or Russian Stirs Ire of Germans. Berlin.—One of the accompaniments of the European war which could, under less serious conditions, be a fair subject for amusing comment, is the sudden rage that has manifested itself against everything English, French and Russian. This feeling has reached such a pitch that French and English pictures have been withdrawn from public view at the Berlin museums. In the Kaiser Friedrich museum priceless old books, with wood engravings by Gustave Dore, have been withdrawn. Following the declaration of war by Great Britain groups paraded the main streets and made demonstrations before shops with offending signs. Many American firms, which advertised branches in Paris and London, suffered. At Leipzig and Friedrich streets stands the Equitable Life Assurance company's building. Its first two floors sheltered the Equitable cafe, but this became the "Zielka cafe." The movement is being carried to such ridiculous lengths that prominent newspapers are now declaring Germans should stop saying "adieu" upon parting, a salutation that has been in use since the eighteenth century. 1,000 ACRES OF PEPPERMINT. On Same Farm Are Also 540 Acres of Sugar Beets. Leslie, Mich.-Lewis S. Marshall and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Benjamin say they gained more practical knowledge of farming from their trip to the Owosso sugar beet farm, than they did at the state fair. They found 350 houses for the employees, all on the farm and all just alike. They have their own school, church and postoffice. Two of the largest peppermint distilleries in the world grown on 1,000 acres, and besides, there are 540 acres of sugar beets, 100 acres of cabbage, 100 of alfalfa, 40 of wheat, 200 of corn, 10 of carrots, 10 of barley, 20 of blue top turnips, 7 of horseradish, 500 of hay, 1,000 of pasture and stock to carry on the work of this immense farm.

BEGENTSUCCESS A SURPRISE Much of the Attacking Power of the Dreadnought Discounted by Demonstrated Efficiency of Underwater Craft of British and German Navies. Expect Other Attacks. London.-The submarine has demonstrated its power as a naval weapon. The 6th of September, 1014, will long be remembered as the day when this modern underwater craft first proved its efficiency, for on that day one of the German flotilla sent the British scout cruiser Pathinder to her doom. But success was not one sided, and before that day closed a boat of the U class of submarine incautiously exposed her conning tower in the midst of seven British warships and ere she could dive again her body was shattered and down she plunged like a broken bottle. However, to the strategist the sacrifice of the submarine was a bagatelle compared with the cruiser which one of her companions had previously destroyed. Seven days later the British scored in kind by way of retallation when the big submarine E-0 caught the German cruiser Hela unawares and sank her off Wilhelmshaven. But the German commanders of these new weapons of naval warfare were apparently inspired to still greater deeds of daring. In one-two-three order the Elsner's submarines jine mays inter sent three of England's armored cruisers to the bottom, and while the ships themselves were nearly obsolete as battle craft, the toll of life, amounting to more than 1,500 men, is a blow that must long be felt in the British navy, while it may gravely affect the morale of the entire service afloat. The German submarines have accomplished in fact, the very thing for which they have been zealously and secretly practicing for a long time. According to the news accounts, the three cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue were sunk at a point north and west of the Hook of Holland, and if is true it has great significance for the British fleet. Undoubtedly these German submarines have operated from a base at Helgoland. Now, Helgoland is approximately 250 miles north of the Hook of Holland, and this gives an idea of the working radius of the German boats, which must have fuel enough in store to carry them that distance and take them back to their base again. Some of these boats have a cruising radius at reduced surface speed of possibly 2,000 miles, but it must be remembered that in time of war they would probably make stretches of a run like that to the neighborhood of the coast of Holland below the surface of the sea. To do this they must have recourse to electrical propulsion, and that means that they must come to the surface again and recharge their batteries while using their oil motors. All of the German submarine flotilla are so called high sea boats, and most of them are of the latest design and thoroughly up to date. For them to escape the watchful eyes of the British destroyers and scouts and to get more than 200 miles away from Helgoland and right into the cruising field of the English fleet is evidence of the capacity of the kalser's submarines and the quality of the men in charge of them. If they can cover such a sea stretch what is to prevent their venturing further in a mood of desperate determination to deal their prime maritime foe a still heavier blow? The British public generally, not to mention most of his naval brethren, derided Sir Percy Scott recently when he said that the submarine had sounded the deathknell of the Dreadnought. And yet today some measure of the truth of his prophecy is apparent. True, the British submarines are probably quite the equal of the rival German boats, and England actually has a greater number of them. Already the king's navy has shown what its own boats of this sort can do, because it was by means of submarines that the British lured the Germans out from their refuge. However, the English have done little to obstruct their navigable waters in order that the nation's commerce and source of food supplies might not be interfered with. Accordingly England's defense is a mobile one and the burden falls upon her battle fleet, and it is this very force for which the German submarines are lying in wait and even going half way to meet. MAD HOG ATTACKS TWO BOYS. Gashes One With His Tusks, but Is Finally Conquered. Lawrence, Mich.—William Shepard, nineteen, is suffering from frightful gashes inflicted by an enraged hog that knocked him down in a field. Shepard and a younger brother were trying to drive the hog to a new field. It gave chase to the younger brother and in trying to save the lad, William fell. The hog turned upon him and gashed him with its tusks. The lad grabbed a club and beat the hog into unconsciousness, enabling his brother to get up and run from the field. Townsley Says West Point Should Always Be Filled With Students. Washington.-Maintenance of 700 cadets, the maximum number for which accommodations are afforded at West Point, is urged in the annual report of Colonel C. P. Townsley, superintendent of the academy, who adds that officers detailed as instructors should be excepted from the operation of the "Manchu law," and be allowed to stay that four years. Colonel Townsley points out that under the law of 1910 there will be 720 cadetships for 1915 and 745 for 1916. 2 Photo by American Press Association COLONEL C. P. TOWNSLEY. After that unless the 1910 law is re-enacted, classes will drop 150 below the capacity of the academy. "In the interests of the country, the army and economy to the government," says Colonel Townsley, "the maximum number of cadets that can be accommodated at the academy should be kept under instruction. Only 44 per cent of the active army officers are graduates of the academy. This can be fully doubled in time if the academy is kept up to its capacity of 700 cadets." He calls attention to the large number of physically defective candidates for cadetships, 142 out of 562 who were examined having been rejected. "The physical requirements are none too rigid for those who are to meet the requirements," the report says. CUMBERLAND ROAD MAY BE RESTORED Women Urge Government to Repair Highway. Washington.—The women of the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution are confident, they say, that some time the United States government will take hold of the movement to improve the historic trails, making a great national highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The movement, which would use as a basis for a national transcontinental highway the celebrated old Cumberland road, built by the United States a century ago in response to the demands of the people living west of the Alleghenies, started with Kansas City Chapter of the D. A. R. and has since received the cordial endorsement of the national organization. The D. A. R. has no objection to the building of the proposed Lincoln highway across the country along a more northerly route, but are convinced that the Cumberland road and the historic trails which led from the Mississippi river to the Pacific were selected by the ploneers because they were the natural highways, offering the least resistance, and for that reason were the best routes known to the hardy settlers of the early days. Uncle Sam spent $7,000,000 on the Cumberland road, which was completed for a distance of about 800 miles, one of the longest straight roads ever constructed by any government in the world. The original plan was to build this famous plike from Cumberland. Md., to St. Louis, but a portion of the western end never was macadamized. The survey was run to Jefferson City, the capital of Missouri. It was the plan to have the road run through the capitals of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to St. Louis. Partially surveyed in 1606, the road was not thrown open until 1818. From that time until 1852 the Cumberland road was the great artery of travel into the western country. In the early fifties the railroads took from it the bulk of the traffic, as well as the malls between the east and the west, ushering in the period of its decline. Historic Fife For a Museum.

Pigs and Education and Pigs and Debts Editor Washington Bee. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Our race is in constant search of means with which to provide better homes, schools, colleges and churches and with which to pay debts. This is especially true during the hard financial conditions obtaining on account of the European war. All of this cannot be done at once, but great progress can be made by a good strong pull together, in a simple, direct manner. How? There are 1,400,000 colored families who live on farms or in villages, or small towns. Of this number, at the present time, 700,000 have no pigs. I want to ask that each family raise at least one pig this fall. Where one or more pigs are already owned, I want to ask that each family raise one additional pig this fall. As soon as possible, I want to ask that this plan be followed by the organization of a Pig Club in every community where one does not already exist. I want to ask that the matter be taken up at once through families, schools, churches and societies, Farmers' Institutes, business leagues, etc. The average pig is valued at about $5. If each family adds only one pig, in a few months, at the present prices for hogs, $10 would be added to the wealth of the owner, and $14,000,000 to the wealth of the colored people. If each family adds two pigs, it would have in a few months $20 more wealth and $28,000,000 would be added with which to promote the welfare of the race during the money stringency created by the European war. Let us not put it off, but organize Pig Clubs everywhere. Give each boy and girl an opportunity to own and grow at least one pig. Tiskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 3. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

DISTRESS OF NATIONS WITH PERPLEXITY "A Time of Trouble Such as Never Was." Great Confusion of Thought—The Present War Long Foretold In Prophecy. All Nations to Be Involved—Inefficiency of All Gentile Kingdoms to Bring Lasting Peace—Need of Divine Interposition—Nebuchadnezzar's Dream of Gentile Supremacy—"Times of the Gentiles" Now Expiring—The World's Hope—Messiah's Kingdom.

"Upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts falling them for fear, and for looking after October 4—Pastor Russell's discourse today was strictly up to date. He took for his text the Master's words. "Upon the the earth distress of nations with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts falling them for fear, and for looking after those things that are coming on the earth." (Luke 21:25, 26.) He said in part: Never was there such a war as there is at the present time. Peculiar conditions have arisen, more so than has ever been known before in the history of the world. With the utter destruction of civilization, impending, present conditions seem to take on a peculiar force as we think of what relationship God has to all these matters. On every hand prayers for peace are ascending to God. Some are praying for the success of the allied armies—which means the slaughter of the Germans, Austrians and Hungarians; others are praying for just the reverse; still others are praying that the war shall not go on. All this shows great confusion of thought. How could all these prayers be heard? The Master has told us that we are to pray in accord with the Word of God. Therefore, before praying on the subject, it would be well to determine what are God's purposes in regard to this war, in order to pray in harmony with His arrangements. Instead of telling the Almighty what to do, we should all hearken to His Word, and take note of what He says about this war and the terrible Armageddon which will follow it—the "Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation." As I read my Bible with clearer eyes than once I read it, I see so many things different from what once I thought that I have great sympathy with people who are confused on this matter. As I read the Bible, God has foretold this very war and has indicated just what is happening today. Through the Prophet Joel He has said to all nations, "Let the weak say, I am strong. * * * Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat"—to the Battle of the great Day of God Almighty. If God prophesied this war of nations, then we need not pray that He stop a war which He has foretold would take place. Surely, so far as the present war has gone, it has brought a greater number to the grave than has any previous war. Many, doubtless, will be shocked at the declaration that this war and the still greater calamity to follow are of Divine arrangement. Nevertheless, the gathering of the nations to the present struggle is referred to in the Prophet's words, where the weak nations are called upon to assert their strength and to go down, all of them, to the Valley of Jehoshaphat—otherwise the Valley of Graves. In harmony with this prophecy, the nations have for years been "beating their plowshares into swords, and their pruning-hooks into spears." in the sense that money has been spent for military purposes which should properly have been spent in agricultural implements and developments. Apparently all the nations of the world will yet be involved. Happy would it be if our own land should escape! We are very glad to note that our President and our Secretary of State are men of peace, and will surely do all in their power to avoid complications and war itself. Nevertheless, it is reasonable to expect that the great nations of Europe, realizing how much they will be weakened by the war, will do all in their power to ensnare these United States, lest at the conclusion of the war we should tower too much above the other nations in financial strength and in every other way. Seen In God's Plan. But to the majority it is very confusing to think that God would bring about any great war. There is surely something wrong or there would not be such perplexity; for the Lord tells His people that they will not be in darkness. Speaking about this Time of Trouble, St. Paul says, "But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that Day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of the light, and the children of the Day." (1 Thessalonians 5:1-6) God's people should have general information regarding His plans, purposes and arrangements. only as we look at the Divine Plan 'ole can we understand God's hip with this bloody war-and with all war. Many have seen only small portions of the Divine Plan, and so have failed to grasp the great lengths, breadths, heights and depths of God's great Purpose. But whoever has an understanding of the great Plan of God will ever after be able rightly to appreciate and to locate not only the events of today, but also everything that is coming; for the Bible outlines the history of man. The Scriptures clearly teach that our earth is the only rebellious province in all God's fair creation. In this little planet God has permitted sin to take its course—to bud, to blossom, to bring forth its fruitage—that both men and angels may see the dire results of opposition to the Divine Government. The Bible tells us how this world became rebellious. It tells us that God did not create mankind imperfect, as we are today. Man was created perfect, an earthly being—in the image of his Heavenly Creator, in the sense of having a moral character, but limited to earthly conditions. This perfect man was placed in a perfect home, in every way adapted to his needs. This Eden was especially prepared for him, and he was to enjoy it. But he was the king of the whole earth; and therefore his Creator instructed him that, as his family increased, he was to subdue the earth and develop it. Had mankind remained in harmony with God, the whole world would have become as Eden. God foreknew just what would occur, however. He foreknew Adam's sin and fall, as well as the mental, moral and physical degeneracy which would result from the disobedience of our first parents. He foreknew our weakness and imperfection, our attempts at moral, religious and mental reform and at mental and physical health. Yet He permitted all this to come to pass. Sin entered the world, and has continued to rest upon the human family for six thousand years. This curse of sin and death is upon mankind. God's penalty for sin is death, and whether it comes through pestilence, famine, war or by slower processes, matters little. There is no one so stupid but that he can see that the whole course of human history has been a reign of Sin and Death. Why God Has Permitted Sin and Death. The Bible tells us that God has permitted this condition to continue for the past six thousand years as a great lesson on the exceeding sinfulness of sin and on the utter hopelessness of any other help than that which He Himself has provided. For six great Days of a thousand years each—from Adam's time until now—Sin and Death have reigned over the race. These are man's work Week, in which he has been permitted to try everything he could imagine for his own relief from sin and its penalty—death. And now, after the Week has drawn to a close, what do we find? Mankind are still dying—mentally, morally, physically. So far from gaining life for our race, all our efforts through doctors, scientists, etc., have accomplished practically nothing. Yea, our most learned physicians and specialists tell us that the world is on the verge of a collapse. They say that at the present rate of increase there would not be, in a hundred and sixty years from now, enough sane people in the world to care for the insane. They tell us that various diseases are increasing so rapidly as to endanger the existence of the race in a very short time; and this in face of the fact that sanitary conditions are made a necessity, even to the extent of providing individual drinking cups. Our only hope is in God; and He has arranged that His blessing shall come through Messiah's Kingdom when our race shall have reached its limit. Man's extremity will be God's opportunity. In the great Seventh Day of man's work Week, the antitypical Sabbath, Messiah will, in association with His Church of this Gospel Age, set up the Divine Kingdom amongst men—a spiritual Kingdom, not an earthly one, ruling, blessing and uplifting mankind. For a thousand years this work of uplift will progress, until all the willing and obedient will have attained again the lost likeness of their Creator and all the unwilling and disobedient will have been cut off from life in the Second Death. "The Times of the Gentiles." Another great lesson which God has been teaching mankind during the reign of Shu and Death is the fact that they are incapable of establishing such a government as is necessary for real blessing and uplift of the race. For a time He appointed the nation of Israel to be His typical kingdom, selecting King David and his posterity to constitute the royal family. The last king of David's line was Zedekiah, of whom we read: "And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose time has come that inquity shall have an end. Thus saith the Lord God, Remove the diadem, take off the crown; I will overturn, overturn, overturn it until He comes whose right it is; and I will give it unto Him." (Ezekiel 21:25-27). The One whose right it is, is Messiah - Jesus the Head, and the Church His Body - on the spirit plane. Certain Scriptures indicate that the time during which God's Kingdom would be removed would be seven prophetic Times, each of which is 300 years in length. Seven Times would therefore equal 2,520 years. That period, reckoned from the time of King Zedekiah's overthrow, ends with this year; for according to the Scriptures the crown was taken away from King Zedekiah in 606 B. C. If so, with the close of the present year Messiah should take to Himself his great power and begin the long-promised Millennial Reign of Glory, the opening or beginning of which, according to the --- Bible, will be a very dark hour—"a Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a mation," "nor ever shall be"—the like again. When God took away His typical kingdom, 600 B. C., He gave the Gentiles authority or permission to do their best to rule and govern the world and to bring in righteousness. That we might know all this, He gave a dream to Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, and sent the interpretation of the dream through Daniel, the Prophet. The dream showed a great image, whose head was of gold, representing Babylon; the breast and arms of silver, representing the succeeding government of Medo-Persia; the belly of brass, representing the Grecian Empire, which succeeded the Medes and Persians; and its legs of iron represented Rome, the government of the Caesars. Each of these governments has had universal sway, each has shown the best it was able to do for humanity, and each has failed. The feet of the image were of iron, showing that they represented part of the Roman Empire; but they were smeared with clay and thus made to represent stone feet. These feet represented the Holy Roman Empire, whose divisions, or toes, are now at war with each other. The dream and its interpretation showed that the stone which struck the image in the feet, ground them to powder and utterly destroyed the entire image, represented God's Kingdom. According to the prophecy, this Kingdom will ultimately fill the whole earth. The clay smeared on the feet, making them look like the stone, represents the fact that the present Roman governments of Europe claim to be Christ's Kingdom. On their coins, and otherwise, they claim to be representatives of God. They have deceived themselves into thinking of themselves as Christendom, which signifies Christ's Kingdom. In reality, however, they are Gentile kingdoms, the last representatives of Gentile power—the feet and the toes of the image of Gentile supremacy which Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. These powers are what the Bible calls "the kingdoms of this world." But they are part of the Gentile power, which has been permitted to rule the world up to the time when God will be ready to set up His Kingdom, which was also represented in Nebuchadnezzar's dream—the stone cut out without hands. The Word of God transforming the hearts of His people will gradually make them His Kingdom, and in the spiritual Kingdom these will be Messiah's Joint-heels. When the image of Gentile supremacy falls, these will be put into power and place. Then all will have opportunity to return to the image of God. The Judgment of the Nations. We have read in history, and daily we are reading in the newspapers, how these nations are attempting to blow one another off the sea and the land. "The nations were angry," says the Revelator. There is no nation so small but that it desires to go to war. As the Prophet Joel says to the nations, "Come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat." Outside of the walls of Jerusalem is the cemetery of Jehoshaphat, known as the Valley of Graves. In figurative language the Prophet is saying to the nations, "Come up to the Valley of Graves!" And this is just where they are going. When we think of the appalling loss of life amongst these angry nations, it is grand to know that all these bitter experiences are not lost, and that the poor creatures who have suffered are not, when they die, hurled into eternal torment that these poor creatures, not knowing what the war really is about, but demonstrating to the best of their ability their patriotism, are not thrown to the devil to be forever roasted. Ah, not. According to the Scriptures, they are falling asleep in death. Their sorrows and woes are all over for the present. They will know nothing more until He who has redeemed them will call them forth from the dominion of Death. The present war will weaken the nations, not only of their life-blood, but also of their wealth; and it will demonstrate the inefficiency of all Gentle kingsdoms to bring to the world peace, righteousness, satisfactory government. But Messiah's Kingdom, which will then be inaugurated, will be "the desire of all nations." This war and the anarchy of Armageddon, which will follow it, will prove conclusively the great need of Divine interposition in human affairs. Doubtless earth's great rulers have done the best they knew how to do for their peoples. Some of our very best laws came from Julius Caesar, in combination with the Mosaic code. Some of the world's rulers today are also doing their best; but they are confused. Having a false idea of what constitutes Christ's Kingdom, they seem to think it their mission to conquer the world. They also believe that they foresee a general uprising of Socialism, and their hearts are falling them, fearing the things coming upon the earth. While they knew that this would be the worst war ever known, yet they preferred it to that which they were striving to ward off and which they have succeeded in keeping off for the present. But they have lost their best blood, their best energy, their money, commerce, etc.; and when the war is ended, these nations, sorrowful and famine-stricken, will be greatly angered at their rulers. Then will come the determination for something like Socialism. This the governments will endeavor to put down, and to some extent they will succeed. Then will come the great explosion—the Armageddon of the Scriptures. Then will be the Time of Trouble, immediately preceding the Messianic Kingdom. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON TWO PASSOVER MEMORIALS. Mark 11:12-25—Oct. 11. "As off as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do proclaim the Lord's death till he come"—I Corinthians 11:26. THE subject of today's lesson is one of the most interesting features of Jesus' ministry. He knew that the Apostles did not realize that this was to be His last supper with them. Although He had intimated the nearness of His death, they had found it impossible to comprehend that any such disaster could be near. Jesus, however, with full consciousness of what it meant, was longing for the consummation of His work. St. Peter and St. John were the two sent to make ready the Passover. In the evening of the same day, Jesus with the entire Twelve met to celebrate the Passover Supper. Everything, we may be sure, was in exact conformity with the requirements; for Jesus and His Apostles were bound by the Jewish Law—the New Dispensation not having been ushered in. Kingdom Honors Desired. The Apostles, believing that very soon Jesus would be enthroned as king, could think of little else but the degree of honor which they would have in the Kingdom. Perceiving their mental attitude, Jesus said to them, "The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; but ye shall not be so; but he that will be the greatest amongst you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve." There were new standards, difficult for them to understand, and apparently still difficult for Jesus' followers to comprehend. The One who will, be chief in the Kingdom will be the One who was the chief Servant in the flesh—the Lord Jesus Himself. The Master intimates that the same principle holds respecting all His followers. A The disciples had made no arrangements for feet-washing, none wishing to assume the role of servant. In that sandy country feet-washing is almost a necessity. By way of rebuke Jesus arose from the table and performed this mental service for His disciples, telling them the import of the lesson and intimating that no matter how humble a service they could render each other, they should gladly perform it. As the super proceeded, Jesus grew heavy hearted and said, "One of you Twelve, eating with Me as a member of My family, is plotting My betrayal." There may have been a double object in this statement: first, it would show that Jesus was fully aware of the premeditated betrayal: second. He may have meant it as a final reproof to Judas. At very best a traitor's course is dishonorable, but doubly so when the traitor accepts the hospitality of the one against whom he is plotting. Consternation spread amongst the disciples. Even Judas joined in the general inquiry, "Is it I?". St. John was next to Jesus, and St. Peter beckoned him to ask who was meant. The inquiry was probably whispered, heard by Jesus only. Our Lord's whispered reply was, "The one to whom I give a sop." Presently He handed Judas a sop, a mark of special interest. St. Peter and St. John thus knew the affair. Apparently Judas soon withdrew, the record being that "Satan entered into him." The spirit of the Evil One got complete control while he weighed and balanced the matter of selling his best Friend for thirty pieces of silver. It is therefore probable that Judas was not present when Jesus instituted the Memorial Supper. Signification of the Memorial. The Memorial which Jesus instituted is separate and distinct from the Passover. As Jesus explained its meaning, the Apostles did not comprehend its signification. But after the Pentecostal enlightenment the Holy Spirit enabled them to understand. Now we may see the import of Jesus' words, "This is My body, broken for you." A We perceive that He could not have mean that the breed and the wine Passover Supper He could not have Turned Into a Memorial meant that the bread and the wine were turned into His actual body and blood; for He still had His body and blood. Therefore He must have meant. This bread represents My body, which will be broken for you tomorrow; and this wine represents My blood, which will be shed for you tomorrow—My life given up. Neither should we think that Jesus meant that special virtue would result to the disciples from eating that bread and drinking that literal cup. We should properly look far beyond and see that He meant this: Only as by faith you partake of the merits secured by My death can you have the great blessing provided for you as My disciples. The Apostles firmly believed that Jesus' death was for their sins and constituted the basis of their acceptance with the Heavenly Father. They realized that only as they appropriated the life of Christ would they be recipients of the promised blessings A BARGAIN FOR SALE Brick House With all Modern Improvements; Electric Lights Six Rooms and Bath.

Best in United States, Says F. R. Kenney, Chief Recruiting Officer of the United States. (From the Illinois Idea.) Lieutenant F. R. Kenney is the chief recruiting officer of the United States army and probably the best known man in the United States in the recruiting service. His opinion is often sought pertaining to systems and methods for securing recruits and on all matters in connection with this department. In a recent interview in his office he stated the following regarding the colored men in the army: "The best fighters in the army are the colored regiments. See where they were in the famous battle, San Juan Hill; notice the splendid service rendered in recent troubles on the Mexican border, and the placing of colored troops at Fort Porter (Buffalo), which is a very important post. No set of men make the magnificent appearance and showing our colored troops make. This is due largely to the fact that we accept none but the best in the army. We are at the present time in need of good men as fast YOUR DRUG- GIST H. EDGAR LEWIS Formerly with Tyree and Co. Telephone Connections as possible. The statement made in the early part of my interview is confirmed by the action of the department in placing colored troops at the most important posts." The writer inspected the recruiting offices and found every convenience offered and the welfare of recruits well cared for. by the government. Sergeant Springer was in charge and was very courteous. Any colored men interested will receive every consideration at the recruiting offices throughout the city. The man who would reach success hasn't much time to sit under shade trees by the wayside.

Washington.One of the bills now in congress that are being held up by the press of business due largely to the war in Europe and that are of peculiar interest to all sections of the country is the bill to amend the postal savings bank law. At present the bill is in conference, and when it will come out can only be conjectured. Alexander M. Dockery, third assistant postmaster general, who has taken great interest in the measure, had this to say about it recently, but that was before the war clouds broke in Europe and when the prospects of a speedy passage into law were brighter than now: "With the final passage of this bill so that depositors may put in $1,000 at one time I anticipate a big jump in the total deposits under this system. The deposits now aggregate approximately $43,000,000." Under existing laws persons can deposit not more than $100 in any one month and are limited to a deposit of $500. TO SELL PEACE BUTTONS. Boy Scouts to Have Charge of Circulating Petitions. Cleveland, O. — "America Wants World Peace" is the inscription on small buttons circulated by Boy Scouts of America. Thomas D. West, promoter of the sane Fourth movement and instigator of the peace badge which the members of the Cleveland Woman's club have been making in their club rooms, decided to use buttons instead of the ribbon badges to create world peace sentiment. The ribbon badges are changed from the form of a cross into a rosette on which the button will be pinned. These are sold to women, while the men are solicited with the undecorated button. In addition to the sale of buttons, Mr. West is also pressing the boy scouts into the service of circulating petitions deploring the European war. Mr. West will have the petitions circulated throughout the United States. Washington.-The value of the output of recoverable gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc from mines in California in 1913, according to Charles G. Yale of the United States geological survey, was $26,812,489, an increase of $423,543 over the 1912 production. All the metals except zinc showed an increased yield, although the ore treated was less in quantity, and there were fewer mines reporting a production than in 1912. The total recoverable value of gold from California in 1913 was $20,406,958, of which the deep mines produced 11,570,781, or 56.7 per cent. The total increase in the gold production was $093,480, of which $502,906 was in the yield from deep mines. The gold production was larger than in any other year except one since 1864. This great output was due entirely to the operations of the dredging companies and the larger deep mines, as the number of mines operated in 1013 was 245 less than in 1912. Of the gold recovered from placer mines the gold dredges reported $8,000,294, which was nearly 92 per cent of the total state yield in 1913. Since the commencement of gold dredging in California, fifteen years ago, the gold recovered from this source has amounted to $63,505,485. Most of this large yield has been derived from ground which could not have been mined profitably under any of the old methods of gravel mining. The 410 deep mines sold or treated 2,495,958 tons of oxy, a decrease of 145,539 tons compared with 1912. Most of the siliceous ore, which amounted to 2,031,429 tons, was treated at gold and silver mills, yielding an average recovery of $5.01 a ton in gold and silver. The 448,439 tons of copper had a recoverable value of $1.84 a ton in gold and silver and $11.74 in copper. The 14,267 tons of lead ore treated had a recoverable value of $11.25 in gold and silver and $23.11 for all metals. The zinc ore shipped in 1913 amounted to 1,823 tons, which was considerably less than in 1912. RESTORE PRISONERS' RATING System of Leniency Works Well In United States Army Prison. Leavenworth, Kan.—Forty-one prisoners at the United States military prison have been restored to the colors under the system now in vogue at the institution. The latest general prisoner to be "graduated" from the disciplinary battalion is Arthur Gaa, who was serving a short term on a charge of desertion. The new system of restoring minor offenders back to duty, providing they desire to erase the black mark against them and save the disgrace of dishonorable discharge, is proving a success in every way.
