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. 28 WASHINGTON, I. D. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1914 NORTHEAST FORUM NORTHEAST FORUM Hon. H. Martin Williams' Good Advice-An Able Speech That Electrified the People. The Northeast Forum, that meets every Sunday evening at Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Sixth Street between L and M Streets Northeast, of which Rev. M. S. Caver is pastor, was addressed last Sunday evening by Hon. H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives. Prior to the introduction of Mr. Williams, Mrs. Caver, the accomplished wife of Rev. Caver, presented the following program, which was very interesting: Northeast Forum, Sunday, November 29, 1914. Opening soup—Congregation. Prayer. Song—Congregation. Memory Verses from the Bible. Salma M. Robert C. Scott, J. Solo—Mr. Robert C. Scott, Jr. Instrumental solo—Miss Celistine Lott. Solo—Mrs. Thompson. Selection—Miss M. L. Powell. Solo—Miss Ruth Cox. At the conclusion of the last number on the program Rev. Caver introduced Editor and Lawyer W. Calvin Chase, who introduced Hon. H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the House of Representatives, in flattering terms. Mr. Chase said, among other things, that the man he would present, to the Northeast Forum was one that believed in equality of citizenship and who was not tainted with prejudice, but an honest man who believed in human rights 'or all men, irrespective of color or condition. That if Diogones was here he would not be compelled to go through the public streets in the daytime with a lighted lamp looking for an honest man, he would find him in the person that I intend to introduce to you. Loud applause at the conclusion of the introductory address. Mr. Williams said in part that he was a Democrat, but he didn't have a prejudiced bone in his body. That he was not a Democrat whose name you spell with a small d but a large D—a Democrat who believes in the rights of man and equality of citizenship and equality before the law. He was surprised to know that so few colored people were in business and why will Negroes persist in supporting other races and will not support their own. I don't understand why colored people will continue to make the white man rich when they have the opportunity to better their condition. In speaking of Negro Farmers Mr. Williams said: Negro farm laborers and Negro farmers of the South cultivate farms whose area is approximately 100,800,000 acres, and there are 2,533,000 agricultural workers in the South of whom one and one-half million are farm laborers and 880,000 own or rent their farms. Of this number, 218,000, or 25 per cent, are owners. In Virginia 67 per cent are owners. Negroes in the South own and cultivate 15,702,579 acres, all of which they have acquired in less than fifty years. Negroes in the North and South own twenty millions of acres. From 1900 to 1910 Negro farms of the South increased 20 per cent while the Negro population increased only 10 per cent. The increase in the number of white tarrs during the same period was only 19 per cent, while the population increased 24 per cent. In Virginia in 1900 there were 44,596 Negro farmers, of which 24,566 were owners and 18,030 were renters. In Virginia in 1910 there were 47,934 farmers, of whom 32,228 were owners and 15,706 renters. In Georgia in 1900 there were 82,616 Negro farmers, of whom only 11,275 were owners and 71,243 were tenants. In 1910 there were 122,436 Negro farmers, of whom only 15,706 were owners and 106,730 were tenants, an increase of only 4,331. The total number of Negro land owners in Southern States in 1910 was 218,467. This represents an increase of 17 per cent in ten years from 1900 to 1910. The total owners and tenants who cultivated farms in 1910 was 990,000. The total area of farms cultivated was 42,500,000. Adding to these figures the one and one-half million farm laborers and the acreage tillled by them, it is within bounds to say that 100,000,000 acres of land in the South is tilled by Negroes. It is safe to say that the Negroes of the United States, North and South own 20,000,000 acres. But it is not in the country and on the farms the Negro has made the greatest progress and reached his highest development. In many of the larger cities of the country he has made wonderful progress in acquiring homes and personal property. In several Southern cities colored men own mercantile establishments, banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. There are leaders in all the professions—lawyers, physicians, ministers of the gospel, writers, educators and poets. Among the many educational institutions of the Negro race are Howard University, Hampton, Tuskegee, Langston University, Oklahoma, pre- sided over by my valued friend, Prof. Innan E. Page. There are Negro men and women in every walk of life that the people of any race or time would be proud to own. To these leaders of thought and action you people have a right to look for advice and counsel. He concluded by telling the number of colored school teachers and school property in the United States. There are 32,000 colored school teachers in the United States, school property valued at $2,500,000, church property valued at $57,000,000, and 20,000,000 acres of land owned by Negroes. There are Negroes in all businesses and professions—Negro lawyers, judges, bankers, merchants, ministers, editors, poets, magazine writers, artists, mechanics and members of all the trades. This tribute to the colored race was most eloquent. Dr. D. Butler Pratt, professor of Church History, Greek and Hebrew in the School of Theology, Howard University, will address the Forum next Sunday, December 6, at 8 P. M. OLD FOLKS HOME. An Evening With the Professionals. The Coming Social Reception—A Brilliant Event. Rev. E. B. Gordon, superintendent of the Interstate Old Folks' Home, has inaugurated a new social fete which will take place at the old Interstate Old Folks' Home Friday night, December 18th. It will be one of the greatest social events in Washington. Rev. Gardner is a young and progressive pastor of Walker's Memorial Baptist Church, who is doing all in his power for the old folks of Washington. The home that he has erected is non-denominational, and from all indications it is the only nondenominational institution in this city for the old folks. The coming reception is a new fete. Some of the best known citizens have consented to take part and make it the greatest event in the history of this city. This reception is tendered to the all-professional classes in this city, and many of the most representative and leading professionals will serve on the several committees to make the affair a brilliant success. The following circular letter is issued to the public and friends of the home and it is hoped that everybody will avail himself of the opportunity to attend the Interstate Old Folks' Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People, 1512 Corcoran Street Northwest. RIV I B GORDON, Superintendent of the Interstate Old Folks' Home. A night with the professionals of Washington at the Interstate Old Folks' Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People of America. You are invited to meet our professional men and women at a reception given for the benefit of the Interstate Old Folks' Home Friday night, December 18, 1914.

Both of the addresses were heartily received by the large and attentive audience: At the conclusion of the program the grand officers and specially invited class repaired to an adjoining room where a splendid collation was served. Great credit is due the committee on arrangements for the success of the anniversary exercises. The members of the committee are as follows: Mr. Simon S.

Stewart came to this city from his country home in Prince Georges County, Maryland, twenty-five years ago and secured employment as a delivery driver, sticking closely to his business, saving his money, and at the same time learning the undertaking and embalming business, until he mastered the trade. He opened a place of business on H Street Northwest, where he carried on the business successfully for several years. His business increased so rapidly that he was forced to secure larger quarters; hence he moved to his present place of business, No. 30 H Street Northeast, where for several years he has given satisfaction to his patrons. His place is well equipped with the latest improved undertaking hearse and wagon, a chapel and complete livery. His success, it is said, is due to his prompt and careful attentions to business. His livery is well kept and his carriages are up-to-date and clean. Mr Stewart never refuses to bury a body because of the JOHN T. STEWART, A Prominent Undertaker and Embalmer. lack of sufficient funds; he trusts the honesty of those doing business with him and he never falls to get his just dues. He comes from a family of thirteen children. Two of his brothers are in the postal service and one in the Police Department in this city. His father is yet living and makes his home with the three sons, when he is not working on his farm in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Mr. Stewart is a member of several organizations and is well known in this city and adjoining counties. He has been in business since 1903 and has the reputation of conducting a clean and honest business. NEWTON LLOYD GILBERT DEAD. Selma Ala Nov 24 Newton Lloyd Gilbert, son of President M. W. Gilbert, D.D., of Selma University, died Monday, November 24 at 8 o'clock, at the age of 25. He was a senior in Colgate University, Hamilton, N. Y. He was brought home by his mother and lived only a day after his arrival. The cause of death was inflammation of the spinal cord. He was carried to Jacksonville, Fla., for burial. His record as a student in New York City and Colgate University was brilliant. He was a young minister, having been licensed to preach by the Mount Olivet Church in New York City. He was conscious up to the last, and passed away in perfect peace. The Bee extends its condolence to the bereaved family. THE SUPREME COURT Kills "Jim Crow" Statute—Must Have Pullmans for All in Oklahoma or None, at All, Says Tribunal. The Supreme Court Monday held that the "Jim Crow" car law of the State of Oklahoma which permits railroads to carry sleepers and dining and chair cars for whites without providing "equal" accommodations for the colored traveler is invalid because it violates the fourteenth amendment of the Federal Constitution. Several railroads are involved in the case, which has attracted a lot of interest throughout the South. The section of the Oklahoma law which permitted the railroads to carry separate diners, chair cars, and sleepers for the whites was defended before the highest court, on the ground that these were "luxuries" not necessary to travel and it was averred that the Negroes seldom patronized these auxiliaries of modern travel. But the court says that such accessories of modern travel are necessary and that they must be available to all classes of citizens alike. The railroads running in interstate commerce may discontinue the separate coaches and the States cannot require them to maintain them, for to do so would be a burden upon interstate commerce under the decision today. But unless they do so they will have to put on separate sleepers, diners or chair cars as the case may be. John F. Cook Lodge No. 10, F. A. M. On Tuesday evening, November 24, 1914, the lodge met at the Masonic Temple for the purpose of conferring the E. A. Degree, taking the initiative in the contest for a Jewel, to be awarded the Master doing the best work. The degree was conferred by J. William Monroe, assisted by the Senior Deacon, Peter Glasscoe. At the regular communication to be held on Tuesday, December 8, the lodge will elect officers for 1915. The Order of Eastern Star. On the occasion of the Grand Visitation of the Grand Officers to three of the chapters, namely, Queen of Sheba, Gethsemane and Queen Esther, will be long remembered by those who attended either or all of the meetings. Each chapter had a special program prepared for the occasion, each varying, but all interesting. The chapter room was beautifully decorated with flowers, palms and flags. The Royal Patron, Dr. William Wells, and the Royal Matron, Mrs. Bertha Gray, are members of Gethsemane Chapter, which was visited Wednesday evening. Beautiful and useful presents were presented to the Grand Officers by each chapter after which a collation was served. ITS 43RD ANNIVERSARY. Widows' Sons Lodge No. 7, Hold Services.

D. Norman, D. D., LL.D., Moderator of the General Baptist Association. Brother Vice Moderator, Delegates, Brethren and Sisters: Divine Providence has permitted us to meet in the third annual session of the General Baptist Association in this elegant meeting house to review the activities of the past year and plan wisely, I hope and believe, for future operations along all lines of religious and moral endeavor. The churches of this city have done nobly he so far as their own-particular interests are concerned—the paying of debts, improvement of church properties and increase in numbers; but, in my opinion, have not done so well as a sisterhood and that in the face of obvious needs near our own doors—not to mention other urgent and reasonable demands upon our great denomination. It is certainly unfortunate, to say the least, that the many strong churches and able pastors in the Capital City of the Nation are not together in one grand and potent body fostering and protecting the vast interests of our churches and setting an example of Christian unification which would be especially helpful to each and all. The colored Baptists in the District, numbering more than all the other colored evangelical denominations together here, if united in one association through which the churches might do their mission and educational work, would greatly improve not only our own people here and elsewhere, but advance our standard as a powerful denomination and exert a greater force in the moral and religious life of the community—a far greater force, in my opinion, than is possible to do, however efficient and well equipped our individual churches may be, under existing circumstances. Indeed, our churches, big and little, representing in one association would make a profound impression upon the religious life of the District and be in itself an unmistakable evidence of the presence of the Holy Ghost among us and would certainly have the approbation of Him who prayed "that they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that Thour hast sent Me." The fraternal and secret societies in the District of Columbia have their District organizations for the furtherance of their society life. The white brethren have one association through which the denominational work is directed and chauffered. Why not the Negro Baptists? Our denomination stands for independence, it is true, but not as independence that spells disunion, disintegration, and destruction. The liberty for which we have always contended is liberty which makes toleration with ourselves always possible and the sacrifice and repudiation of our tenets and doctrines in order to enjoy the favors and co-operation of others always impossible. The Baptist preachers are responsible in a large measure for the dissatisfaction occurring in our ranks. We have, of course, our little tricks, selfish ambitions, and petty notions, which tend to keep us in different camps denominationally, thereby, often preventing the best results and therefore" to the detriment of the cause. But we see signs of improvement along this line and the wrongs will some day be righted and the old Baptist ship, with Jesus on board, flying the flag of righteousness bearing the inscription, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism," will make harbor in due season. So "let us not be weary in well-doing; for in due season we M. JOHN E. L SKEY, ESQ. The New United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. A Polished Gentleman and a Successful Prosecutor. shall reap, if we faint not." So, then, as we have opportunity, let us work that which is good toward all men, especially toward them that are of the household of faith." Theological Seminary and Education. This is a great field for the Baptist Association. The needs of such an organization composed of all of our churches are clearly evident. Many worthy objects, now woefully neglected, would be easily maintained if we had our forces harnessed. It is true that we are doing well, but we can and should do vastly more. In many of the Southern States the associations foster academies, make large contributions to missions, employ missionaries to build up destitute places and are exceedingly helpful in many ways to the churches in general. My brethren, we should, by all means, have a school of theology here in which our young men who desire the "office of a bishop," could get training in the tenets and doctrines of the church and thus be prepared to defend at all times and under all circumstances the faith that is in them; the faith once delivered to the saints. The rare advantages of the immense public libraries and the able ministers of all denominations who fill the leading pulpits of the Capital City, would also afford to observant and tractable students living and worthy examples of Hermeneutics as well as homeletics. I truly hope, some day, not far distant, that the Baptists will (Continued to Page 6.) IN THE SUPREME COURT. The Negro Appears in the Defense of the Entire Race for the First Time, October 26, 1914. Judge William Harrison, of Oklahoma City, Okla., one of the foremost and ablest lawyers in the United States, irrespective of color, wealth or age, delivered one of the most legal, logical and convincing arguments ever listened to by the Supreme Court of the United States as has been reported to the Editor by both black and white men, accustomed to hearing arguments in that court. This case was filed in the Federal Courts by Judge Harrison, his own conception, February 15, 1908, and is unquestionably deserving of more attention and more credit than any case yet brought to the Supreme Court, involving the rights of the Negroes in this country. It is unique in this that it was conducted by Negroes for Negroes throughout its entirety. It was one of that class of cases that white lawyers hesitate to take in these days of public opinion and political catering, and for that reason the Negroes found themselves called upon to bear their own burdens. In the argument Judge Harrison sought to interpret the mind of Congress as evidence by the Enabling Act approved by Congress June 16, 1906, and insisted that unless the Legislature of the State of Oklahoma could violate every provision of the Enabling Act, "which the people of Oklahoma had accepted and adopted irrevocably as a condition precedent to admission into the sisterhood of states, it, the Legislature of Oklahoma, could not enact a law making distinction when it comes to the Negro race based upon color, the same being forbidden by the language of the Act itself, and this argument was clinched when the judge pointed out that separate schools were provided for in the Enabling Act and no other distinction or separation. Arguing that the Act of the Oklahoma Legislature seeks to and does regulate interstate transportation, the Judge said the Act must stand or fall as a whole, not being separable, and being clear, positive and unambiguous, could not be construed away and had to be taken as expressing the mind of the Legislature. The Judge exploded the theory of police regulation and showed that, so far as the health, safety, morality, etc. of the citizens were concerned, that the police regulation argument set out by defendants was a mere subterfuge, and in this connection it was forcibly argued that the Mexican, the Italian, the Indian, the Turk, the Greek and every other race on the face of the earth had been legislated into white men, and educated, cultured and refined citizens by the Act of the Legislature compaired of. Judge Harrison reached his climax by invoking the interpretation and construction of the Federal Constitution and specifically the fourteenth amendment as applied to the Act of the Legislature of Oklahoma complained of. Perhaps the most finely drawn and keenest differentiation was shown by the able jurist when it came to comparing the case at bar with other cases adjudicated; for he clearly showed that his case was different and new in the following particulars, to-wit: The Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma had not construed the law as had been done in cases coming up from Louisiana. Mississippi, Kentucky, etc. The case at bar had evaded and avoided the State Courts, knowing what its fate would be, once in said courts, and finally that the word "distinction" did not occur in the Organic Act of the states mentioned, but was purposely written in the Enabling Act of Oklahoma. Closely connected and intimately associated with Judge Harrison from the very beginning of this case has been Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D. D., pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Washington, D. C., formerly pastor at Oklahoma City, Okla. Dr. Jernagin is a race man of the cloth, for he has from the beginning agitated and argued that competent Negro lawyers were able and should have the conducting of the case. As Judge Harrison has taken the lead and kept the same legally from the inception of this case, Dr. Jernagin, untiring, uncompromising, unyielding and full of hope, has stood on the firing line financially and told Judge Harrison to go on, and this he has continued up to the publication of this article. The fact is, these two unique characters in the conduct of this case are inseparable. It should be stated that while practically a very small amount of money has been furnished in this case yet, what has been furnished came exclusively from Negroes under the leadership of Dr. Jernagin, except the sum of $180, furnished as a Supreme Court deposit (for printing brief) by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, September, 1913. While we are advised that other Negroes have assisted materially, loyally, hopefully, courageously and manfully in this case, our hat is off to Judge Harrison for his extraordinary presentation and wonderful argument in this case before the Supreme Court and his standard-bearer, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, who talked finance to the people of Washington while the jurist talked law to the court. Judge Harrison addressed the Bethel Literary and Historical Association Tuesday evening, the 27th, and having paid high tribute to the Negroes for attainments along many lines, charged the Negro with failure when it comes to co-operative effort. Judge Harrison addressed the student body at Howard University at the chapel hour and departed for Oklahome the night of the 28th. Our best wishes attend such a man and hero. GOOD WORK. C. Y. W. C. Association Meeting. The quarterly meeting of the C. Y. W. C. Association was held at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church Monday evening, the president, Mrs. Bettie G. Francis in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The chairman of the several committees reported and also told of their plans for the coming year. The president then introduced the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Mollie Church Terrell. Mrs. Terrell chose as her subject, "The Things a Colored Woman Can Do to Help Her Race." Mrs. Terrell said that 80 per cent of the educated of our race are women; therefore it lies with the women to band themselves together to better conditions surrounding us. The supervision of our children's amusements, the establishing of day nurseries, the necessity for having Mothers' Meetings and the organization of a Mothers' Congress. The women to combine and protest against the Jim Crow law in the South and the "Convict Lease System." Mrs. Terrell read an extract from an Elizabeth, N. C., paper giving details of an investigation being carried on by Judge Carter, a white man, as to the treatment of the convicts in that town. The most unspeakable cruelties inflicted on the prisoners were most graphically described by the lecturer. Mrs. Terrell urged the C. Y. W. C. A. to stand for the abolishing of the convict lease system in the South and also suggested that they write and thank Judge Carter for his expose of the system in North Carolina, and for the women to agitate the matter through the press until their wishes are accomplished. A hearty vote of thanks was given the speaker for her brilliant and interesting lecture. A Denial. Washington, D. C., November 3. Editor The Bee.

"I regard it quite as much the duty of the District Attorney to shield the innocent as to prosecute the, guilty. Those who violate the law should be vigorously prosecuted, but the responsibility is on the District Attorney to see to it that the criminal law is not invoked as an instrument to oppress the unfortunate." In this way John E. Laskey, the new District Attorney for the District of Columbia, who has just received his commission from the President, and who will next Tuesday be sworn in and begin his term of service, described his ideal of the way in which the duties of his office should be discharged. Mr. Laskey, who is a real "native son" of Washington, because of the continued residence of three generations of his family here, is particularly qualified by his ability as a lawyer and his thorough acquaintance with local affairs to bring to these questions a rare discernment and a sympathetic judgment. His knowledge of the inner workings of the District Attorney's office, gained by service there in previous years as an assistant, and the extensive private practice he has enjoyed give him an almost unprecedented equipment for the work that is before him. This was the unanimous verdict of both bench and bar when it learned that his selection had been acted upon finally by the president. As he talked, it was apparent that Mr. Laskey's compelling motive is to bring to his new office a richness of sympathy and a breadth of understanding, which will both humanize and vitalize the work falling upon him and his assistants. Sketch of His Career. Mr. Laskey, who is a life-long Democrat, was born in the District of Columbia, October 27, 1868, and has lived here all his life. His grandfather came here from England in 1808, and his father was born here. The new District Attorney got his education in the public schools of the city and at Columbian, now George Washington University. He was married in 1906 to Miss Pauline Ludgate, has two charming children, and resides at 1657 Park Road. The new District Attorney was admitted to the bar of this District in 1893. From October, 1893, until August, 1895, he was a clerk in the offices of A. S. Worthington, of the District bar. He entered the office of the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia in August, 1895, and served there under District Attorneys Birney, Davis, and Anderson until October, 1899, when he resigned to take up private practice. While acting as Assistant District Attorney, in addition to the administrative work of the office, he tried cases of every description, both alone and in association with the District Attorney, before all of the then judges. He also prepared briefs and argued for the government criminal cases on appeal. Since 1899 he has been engaged in private practice in association with Richard C. Thompson, under the firm name of Thompson & Laskey. His private practice has been, largely trial work, both civil and criminal. He was a professor of law in the Washington College of Law from 1900 to 1910, and since 1910 has been a member of the faculty of the Georgetown University Law School, and is now professor of criminal law and domestic relations at that institution. On Examining Board. In May, 1910, he was appointed by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia a member of the committee of examiners to pass upon the qualifications of applicants for admission to the bar, and is at the present time a member of that committee. In 1903-1904 he was secretary of the Bar Association of the District of Columbia, and in 1913-1914 was president of the association. In addition to the local courts, he is a member of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. He is a member of the Lawyers', the University, and the National Press Clubs. The office to which Mr. Laskey has been appointed by the President is one of the most important District attorneyships in the country. There devolves upon the District Attorney of the District of Columbia the duty of defending government officials in many civil cases brought against them in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, some of which, such as suits for mandamus, can be brought only in the District of Columbia. Such work, naturally, compels the District Attorney here, in addition to the many criminal cases he has to prosecute, to familiarize himself with a vast amount of routine governmental procedure requiring a comprehensive legal knowledge.

His Past Experiments. London—Sir Oliver Lodge, president of the Society For Psychological Research, recently made a striking declaration of his spiritual faith. He expressed his absolute conviction of a future existence and stated that he had conversed with friends who had passed away. Sir Oliver said that once one realized that consciousness was something outside of the mechanism it made use of one realized that survival of existence was naturally the simplest thing. It was unreasonable, he added, that a soul should jump out of existence when the body was destroyed. "We ourselves are not limited to the few years that we live on this earth. We should go on without it; we should certainly continue to exist; we should certainly survive. "Why do I say that? I say it on definite scientific grounds. I say it because I know that certain friends of mine still exist, because I have talked to them. "Communication is possible. One must obey the laws and find out the conditions. I do not say it is easy, but I say it is possible, and I have gone versed with them as I could converse with any one in this audience. "Now, being scientific men, they have given proof that it is real, not an [Image of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and tie. The background is plain white. The man's face is turned slightly to the right, and he has a serious expression. The image is black and white. There are no other discernible details or text.]] Impersonation, not something emanating from myself. They have given definite proofs. Some of them are being published. Many are being withheld for a time, but will be published later. "I tell you that it is so with all the strength of conviction I can muster—that it is so; that we do persist; that people still take an interest in things going on; that they still help us and know more about the things that we do and that they are able from time to time to communicate with us. "I know that man is surrounded by other intelligences. If you once step beyond man there is no limit until you come to the infinite intelligence himself. Once having gone beyond man you go on and must go on until you come to God. "But it is no strange land to which I am leading you. The cosmos is one. We here on this planet are limited in certain ways and blind to much that is going on, but I tell you that we are surrounded by beings, working with us, co-operating and helping, such as people in visions have had some perception of, and that which religion tells us salants and angels are. That the Master himself is helping us is, I believe, literally true." Sr Oliver is one of the best known leaders of the Society For Psychical Research and one of the most courteous defenders of the theory that the occult may itself be a science with laws of its own, for all that its phenomena are intangible. In the summer of 1908 there were widespread reports that he and some of his friends had had unquestionable communication with Edmund Gurney, Dr. Richard Hodgson. Frederic W. Myers and other persons no longer living. These stories were quite circumstantial and declared that the communication had been established through several medina, among them Mrs. Margaret Verrall, wife of the Cambridge professor; Mrs. Piper and Mrs. Holland. At that time Gurney's spirit was said to have described the process of communication with living beings as like the telling of a vastly important message to a sleeping person. Most of the messages, however purported to come from Mr. Myers It was said at the time that Sir Oliver Lodge was sure of the genuineness of the communications CANAL NEUTRALITY RULE. Only Six Fighting Ships of Warring Nations May Pass at One Time. Washington—President Wilson recently issued a proclamation announcing the neutrality regulations for the Panama canal zone. It provides that all vessels of belligerent nations shall be allowed to pass through the canal in the order of their arrival at either end, but that twenty-four hours shall elapse between the departure of vessels flying the flags of two nations that are at war. War vessels shall pass through as rapidly as possible and shall not remain in waters adjacent to the canal longer than absolutely necessary. No vessel shall remain in the canal more than twenty four hours. The docking and repairing facilities of the United States shall be used by belligerent ships only to make repairs that are necessary to their seaworthiness. War vessels shall not be allowed to provision in the canal zone except when absolutely necessary and then shall take on only enough to meet their needs until they arrive at the next port. Aeroplanes are forbidden to cross the zone or to make a landing at any point on the zone. Commanders of belligerent vessels are forbidden to embark or disembark troops in the canal zone except for the purpose of making necessary repairs. Not more than three vessels flying the flag of any belligerent nation shall anchor in the waters adjacent to the canal at one time, and not more than three, making six in all, shall pass through the canal at one time. MOUSE TIES UP WHOLE TOWN. Causes Short Circuit at Light Plant and Everything Stops. Hutchinson, Kan. an undersized mouse short circuiting some wires in the city electric light plant here stopped the street cars, put out all the lights in the city, shut down certain parts of the salt plants, chemical works, flour mills, strawboard plant, newspaper typesetting machines, one telegraph company and other industries depending on electric motors for power for an hour. Edward Houson, assistant engineer at the plant, tried to get the mouse out with a pair of tongs without shutting down the plant, and the little animal jumped into a connection that electrocuted it, causing several thousand people to take a vacation until the burned out switches, and wires could be repaired. Mr Benson was badly burned about the hands, arms and face, but will recover PHYSICAL BLIGHT AS FRUIT OF THE WAR Offspring of Survivors to Be Weak and Grippled. Washington.—Over Europe of the future, no matter upon which side victory rests, declare medical men and scientists, will sweep the devastating hand of physical blight. Children with crippled forms, weak bodies and unbalanced minds will fill the cradles of every nation now at war, offspring of the men made unfit for parentage by the rigors of the great conflict. Dr. Ales Hrdlicka, curator of the National museum and noted anthropologist, is one of the savants who has studied the effect of Europe's conflict upon the children yet to be born. To him the present war presents a vastly different aspect with regard to future generations than any conflict has ever presented before Since men of science first began to study the effect of wars upon the human races it has been admitted that whenever the best physical examples of a nation went to war to be destroyed the physical manhood of that nation suffered. Then it was discovered that for every man killed or fatally wounded four died of disease. As warfare approached its present modern character the number of killed and wounded in each engagement decreased, while the number who died from "natural causes" increased. Army physicians say that the percentage of mortality from wounds in the present conflict is likely to be far less than it has been in the wars of the past. But the scientists—both medical men and anthropologists—add to that statement their belief that the loss of the men killed in the war will not detract from the physical welfare of Europe's future sons one-hundredth part as much as will the men who return unwounded from the field, because war is no longer primarily an illumination of life, so far as the calculations of science are concerned, but a shatterer of nervous constitutions, a creator of neuras thienle wrecks, weakened mentalities and sapped vitalities. REASONS WHY MEN DRINK. "Toothache," "Heavy Cold" and "Stomach Trouble." So They Say. Columbus Ind. A survey of the causes that take men into the city court here shows that toothache is to blame more than anything else. Next to "toothache" is a "heavy-cold," and "stomach trouble" runs a poor third. Nearly every man who is arrested on an intoxication charge has some such excuse. There are a few, however, who admit they get drunk just to be drunk and have no excuse to offer. ADVERTISING PAYS PARSON. In Two Years He Married Ninety-two Couples at Paris, Ill. Terre Haute, Ind.-The Rev. H. H. Peters, pastor of the First Christian church of Paris, Ill., desires the patronage of couples who go over the state line from Terre Haute to the Illinois Gretna Green. He is not divident. Therefore he has written to a Terre Haute newspaper to have it say: "Paris has a sure enough marrying parson—the liev H. H. Peters of that city has qualified. In less than two years he has married ninety-two couples, of whom twenty-two couples were from Indiana. The First Christian church of Paris is a large organization of over 1,200 members. The church is located one block from the public square and within a half block of the interurban station. The parson has an office in the church and is ready to meet the young people at all hours. If people are determined to leave Indiana to get married they can do no better than strike for Paris and look up the marrying parson. HIGH COST OF EDUCATION. Doubles In Twelve Years In Minneapolis Schools. Minneapolis. - It cost $39.81 per pupil for elementary education in Minneapolis public schools in 1914, as compared with $18.39 in 1902, and the high school cost per pupil in the same period has mounted from $38.42 to $72.69. These comparisons have been made by Miss Katherine Brazee, secretary to School Superintendent F E Spaulding. The cost of heat, light and upkeep of buildings is not included in these figures. In 1902 there were 61 buildings in use, 900 teachers and 39,682 pupils, as compared with 74 buildings, 1,423 teachers and 49,167 pupils enrolled in 1914. The wider range of courses and the care given defective children are given as causes for the increased cost. London. That motor artillery may be used by the belligerents before the present war is over is the conclusion of an automobile expert expressed in an article published here. He bases this idea on the success of motor transport over broken country. Approving the phrase "This is a motor war," he says: "One of the most interesting phases, in face of future developments of automobility for military purposes, is those vehicles which have been designed and which are being used for breaking across country where roads do not exist or where surfaces are exceedingly bad. In this connection some extraordinarily ingenious pioneer work has been done in this country, notably the Diplock-Pedrail. If the inventor had received more support undoubtedly this system of self-propelled vehicle could have been brought to a stage at which its practicability would have been recognized throughout the world today. "As it is, since 1878 he has been perfecting his machinery every year and got it to an extraordinary stage before the war broke out. Some of the heavy machines that the Germans are using reveal, moreover, that they have not been slow to study his in genious scheme whereby a self propelled road vehicle can also be made to break across country, over plowed fields or any other surface that it may be necessary to negotiate. "In Belgium the Germans have been using heavy motor tractors with wired wheels in trout, designed to insure steering way when going through slime, in that whichever way they tend to slide they must presently dig themselves in deeper laterally. The rear driving wheels are really a variant of another British idea evolved in some of the motor stedges that were taken with Captain Scott on his antarctic expedition. COW EATS "FRUIT" ON HAT. Knocks Woman Down and Injures Her to Get Ornaments. Peckham, Coo. The loneliness of the family cow for trunk came near causing Mrs Paris Cogburn serious injury and resulted in the destruction of a fine new hat and its ornamental trim mings. The cow saw the fruit on the hat just as the woman left the house and started for it. She knocked Mrs. Cogburn down and stepped on her hip while she munched the hat. Help arrived, and the woman was taken into the house, where medical assistance was summoned. She had a deep gash in her hip. English Walnut Record Gait, Cal.-On the farm of Alfred C. North at Valley Oaks a young English walnut orchard holds a record which many of the old settlers claim to be the most remarkable in the state. Last March North put out forty acres or young walnut trees. By actual measurement recently it was found that a number of the trees stand twelve feet high, showing a growth of ten feet in seven months. A large acreage in this vicinity is being planted to this variety of walnut. Otherwise Known as Skunks, Which Are Profitable. Greenville, Cal.—Greenville has now established one of the most unique industries in the state—namely, a skunk ranch. Early in the spring Will Stevens, a butcher, formerly of Goldfield, rented the F. W. Peck ranch and entered the business on a small scale. Young skunks were captured in various parts of Indian valley and placed in pens. They grew and multiplied rapidly. The business proved so iterative that larger pens of corrugated iron were made, and the number of skunks increased. The skins sell for from $3 to $6 each. The oil is also valuable and is sold to druggists. Stevens now has large skunks that will be ready for market in a couple of months. The skunks will eat all sorts of scraps and waste food, but are especially fond of milk and vegetables. They seem to like human companionship and when called come to be petted. To see forty chicken thieves with their tong, white striped bodies and bushy tails feeding at a trough like so many pligs is an interesting sight. CHURCH WOMEN·HUSK CORN. On Farmer's Offer They Add to Aid Society Fund. Marshalltown, in. - When- Charles Miller, a Jasper county farmer, offered the Ladies Aid society of the Christian church at Kellogg an acre of his best corn if the women would pick it, he found he could not run a "bluff." The women snapped up the offer in a hurry. Attired in overalls or in old clothes they in two hours picked and cribbed the entire nere, which yielded forty-eight bushels. A citizen who was interested in the society's work offered the women 80 cents a bushel for the corn and an additional 5 cents if they busked it. This they did. Four other citizens agreed to donate 5 cents for each bushel husked, so that the forty-eight bushels brought the church women $1.05 a bushel or $50.40, which goes into the society's treasury Washington.—Seven million eggs of the humpbacked salmon spawned in Alaska waters have been rushed across the continent by the federal bureau of fisheries to replace the all but extinct Atlantic salmon of Maine waters. Their destinations are the bureau hatchery stations at Green Lake and Craig Brook, Me. Dr. H. M. Smith, director of the bureau, is personally interested in the attempt to give Maine a new salmon industry. With the single exception of the Penobscot river, where Atlantic salmon come to spawn, there are but few salmon left in the waters of Maine. In the fall of 1913 the bureau sent 16,000,000 humpbacked salmon to that state, but because of the tendency of that species to spawn prolifically only every second year the bureau is planning to liberate a new stock of the young fish next spring, which will spawn. It is expected, in the "off" year. The humpbacked salmon will spawn near the mouth of a small river or stream, while the other Pacific coast varieties as well as the Atlantic salmon insist on the headwaters of large streams as spawning places. The Chinook salmon of the Columbia river will very often "run" 2,100 miles upstream to spawn, while the humpbacked variety has no objection to spawning as near as 2,100 feet to the mouth of the stream. FLOWER STALK SAVES BOY. His Guardian Uses It to Pull Him Out of Cistern. St. Joseph, Mo—A sunflower stalk in the hands of Mrs. Adeline Grimm saved the life of six-year-old Francis La Bouff, who had fallen into a cistern in Mrs. Grimm's back yard. The boy was playing near the cistern, and when he stepped on the covering the rotten boards gave way, and he plunged through into the water. Mrs. Grimm, who is the boy's guardian, heard his screams, pulled a tall sunflower out by the roots and thrust one end through the hole. The youngster clung to the end of the stalk while she pulled him from the water. The water in the cistern is more than six feet deep. PRACTICES LAW AT 85. Minnesota Man Attends to All Details of His Legal Business. Rochester, Minn.-Charles C. Wilson, dean of the Olmsted county bar, celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday recently. Mr. Wilson daily gives personal attention to a mercative law practice, attending to all of the details himself. His legal talent was recognized by the state in 1892, when he was appointed official reporter of the decisions of the supreme court. He resigned in 1896, when the legislature reduced the salary from $3,500 to $2,000 a year. Mr Wilson has never been an office seeker, but has devoted his time to the practice of his profession HEROIC ZOUAVE SAVED A BRIDGE HIS BODY NOT IDENTIFIED. Found Amid Many Other Dead After French Victory—Correspondents Tell Many Unusual Stories of Incidents on Firing Lines—Raid on London by Air Is German Plan. Paris. - Δ note appended to a recent official statement from the war office tells of one of the many side tragedies and heroic deeds of the war. In Belgium a few days ago, the note says, a German column marched on Dri Gruechter bridge, forcing before it a group of French zonaires who had been ```markdown ``` A BELGIAN FIRING ON GERMANS FROM BEHIND A TREE taken prisoners. The French trenches ceased firing after the Germans had forced the zonaves to cry out "Cease bring!" When the zonaves were very near the bridge, however, one of them yelled out in a commanding voice, "Open fire, nom de l'ennu!" Involuntarily the French trenches opened a volley at the command. The result was that every zonave was killed, and all the Germans were finished off with untrailhouse. The French then took the bridge. The name of the French hero who gave the command to fire remains unknown. There was nothing from which he could be identified in the heap of bodies on the bridge. Many other touching stories are told by correspondents. In a diary found on a dead German officer at Dixmude appears this description of the horrors of war: "Man is becoming a beast. There is no respite from the rear of the guns. We continue to shoot, starve and die. One of our pontoons across the Yser has been destroyed, and that means a more horrible inferno than ever "On every side are the dead and dying. Our colonel and major—indeed, three-fourths of our battalion—we have left on the bloody field. Moreover, the confusion of the units is unbelievable. "A regiment, battalion or company no longer exists. All is now debris. We just wander about and have nothing to do but make targets for the enemy. The whole thing is impossible, but the only order we hear from our base is, 'Go out!'" Russia's soldiers take a sporting delight in battle. They carry this quality so far that they sometimes embark their officers. Cossacks chase for action When they can't have action, they search for limitations and sport. During a recent full songs were sung, races run and imaginary Turks heads pierced by wildly charging horsemen. The Austrians fired and killed the pony of a Cossack jockey who was three yards from the winning post. The jockey rose and by a terrine exertion of will dragged his pony past the winning post. He was declared the winner Bank Clerk Kills Three Bears. Weaverville, Cal.-Three bears were killed within five miles of here in one day by Van B Young, bank clerk, who was out hunting alone with two dogs. He came upon a mother and her cubs. The mother was dispatched quickly, but the cubs put up a strenuous fight before they were finally killed. This is more single handed bear killing than any other local hunter has heard of. DREAM REVEALS HOMICIDE Mother's Vision of Blain Son Leads to an Arrest. Butte. Mont.-The arrest of A. J. Crisler, for whom officers had been searching since the finding of the body of Jonas Brown, a homesteader, in a shallow grave near a homestead claim which had been occupied by Crisler, is reported from Regina, Canada. Brown was murdered near Glasgow. Mont., in the northern part of the state, his head having been split open with an ax, presumably as he slept as Crisler's guest. The body, attired only in night clothes, was dragged to a hole nearly and a few shoefults of earth thrown in. Suspicion attached to Crister when he was seen driving a team that had belonged to the missing man. It was a dream of Brown's mother that her son had been murdered and buried that caused her to arouse the officers, and a search revealed his decomposed body. The crime was committed last April HUNTS HONEY. FINDS BANDIT. Section Foreman Discovers Sole Survivors of Bank Robbery Vivor of Bank Robbers' Gang. Murray Wash. - While looking for a honey tree in the woods near Pilchuck, Andrew Austin, foreman of a Northern Pacific section gang, discovered a man sleeping. The man corresponded to the description of the lone survivor of the gang of Sedro-Woolley bank robbers, for whose capture a reward of $1,000 has been offered. He had a well filled cartridge belt about him and an automatic pistol in a holster, while on his face was a ten days' growth of board. Austin stole quietly away and notied officials of his discovery, with the result that within a short time the surrounding country was filled with men eager to capture the outlaw. The search had been conducted heretofore along the international boundary. GIRL WIDOW WITNESS AT FATHER'S TRIAL Haverstraw, N Y.-Unique in dramatic situations that murder trials have brought about is that which will arise when William V. Cleary, the Democratic boss and town clerk of Haverstraw, comes to trial in New City shortly for the killing of his eighteen year-old son-in-law. Eugene M Newman. It lies in the narrowing position in which the dead dad's girl wife, Cleary's daughter, will find herself. To appear upon the witness stand in defense of her father involves the necessity of upsetting the memory of her youthful husband; to ignore her father's desperate plight and remain away from the courtroom or to take the stand and be forced to give evidence against him obviously carries with it polygamous distress, the torture of that affection. Newman was shot dead in Cleary's office last July. Eugene Newman and Aung Marie Cleary were first attracted to each other when he was in knickerbockers—a kind of fourteen—and she at sixteen had just assumed the dignity of shoe top skirts. The only shadow on it all was Cleary's attitude. He didn't like the boy. There wasn't the objection of their being so youthful, for they did not ask to be allowed to marry immediately. They said they knew they were too young and were willing to wait. But when Newman was eighteen they were married. When young Newman entered Cleary's office with the marriage certificate in his hand he was shot. The state declares that Cleary was prompted by vicious spite against the boy because he had overridden Cleary's opposition and outwitted him by marrying the boss daughter. On this crucial point, of course, the testimony of young Mrs Newman might prove all important. In her tragic quandary she has said of her problem: "I dare say my father was so furious to think Gene and I had run away and been married that he absolutely lost his head. For any one to attribute any other reason for my father killing my husband is to cast a shamorous reflection on my husband that I will not permit. Now that my husband is dead his memory is too sacred to me for me to stand by and allow persons to throw mud on his character. "Please do not ask me if I have forgiven my father. You must realize that I am in a terrible position. My husband is dead, and no anointment my father could possibly make can bring him back to me. The least I can do is to protect my memory. On the other hand, my father stands in danger of dying in the electric chair, and even to protect my husband's memory I can not allow my father to suffer that fate. My one hope is that I will not be called at the trial." Hog Slays Valuable Horse. Dillsburg, Pa. - David Bishop, a farmer of Monaghan township, near Grantham, lost a valuable horse by death in an unusual manner several days ago. Mr. Bishop was riding the horse to the barn when a large hog at the side of the road made a sudden jump to the horse's blind feet. sinking its long tusks into the horse's side and tearing a long, deep cut, which caused death before a veterinarian could be called. FORCE A CUT IN COTTON ACREAGE MEANS DIVERSIFIED FARMING South May Now Become Great Cattle and Grain Section—Climatic Conditions Excellent For Production of Wheat and Corn—Three Thousand Financiers Co-operate In Movement. Atlanta, Gu.—Three thousand bank presidents, constituting a majority of all in the cotton region, have signed a pledge "to extend financial aid to farmers who reduce their cotton acreage one-half in 1915 and plant, the remaining land in food crops." They also promise "to discourage in every proper way the planting of more than half of this year's acreage in cotton next year and to urge the supply merchants of their respective communities to adopt the same policy." It is believed that this assures a reduction which will wipe out the cotton surplus in one year and will open a new era of diversified farming in the south. The action is the result of a campaign begun by the Atlanta chamber of commerce in September. Letters were sent to all bank presidents in the cotton states explaining the plan and asking a pledge of co-operation on postal card. The replies received are practically unanimous. Three thousand and ten pledges with signatures of the bankers have been received, and cards are still coming in. Of these pledges 517 are from Georgia, 725 from Texas, 225 from Alabama, 269 from Arkansas, 114 from Louisiana, 177 from Mississippi, 190 from North Carolina, 443 from Oklahoma, 168 from South Carolina, 113 from western Tennessee and 0 scattering. This campaign is based on the fact that 80 per cent of the cotton farmers are more or less dependent on banks or supply merchants for advances with which to make crop. Herefore the average farmer to obtain credit had to show that he would plant enough cotton to pay the debt. Now the bankers and supply merchants will insist on a reduction of cotton acreage by one-half as a condition of credit. This is a reversal of the credit system of the south. Mell R. Wilkinson, president of the Atlanta chamber of commerce, made this statement: "Being actual or prospective creditors of the south to a large, extent, northern people wish to know whether it will meet its obligations. This depends on its ability to make the cotton. Just now cotton is selling 30 per cent below the cost of production. "It has neither an open market nor a fair" price, because of the surplus caused by the European war stopping thousands of cotton mills. This work of the Atlanta chamber of commerce is intended to accomplish two great objects. One is to wipe out the cotton surplus and to re-establish the market. This answers the question of the north. The other object is to replace the one crop system with diversified farming. That means the south will become the great grain and cattle region of the continent. No other section has produced as much corn per acre under good conditions. Soil, seed and culture being equal, a month more sunshine makes more corn. "Georgia, the Carolinas and Alabama have authentic records of more than 200 bushels per acre. Three thousand Georgia boys averaged nearly sixty bushels and seventy-six boys made more than 100 bushels per acre last year. "Our returns show that the farmers of the southeast made this year two thirds of a year's supply of corn and forage. We have marshaled the financial resources of the south behind the farmer in his supreme effort to emancipate himself from the all cotton system." The letters show a spirit of grim determination, shared by bankers, supply merchants and farmers, to cut the next cotton crop by half. These expressions come from every state from North Carolina to Texas, and the keynote is struck by J. W. Bolton, president of the Rapides bank at Alexandria, La., who says: "It would be folly for us to attempt to take care of this year's crop and allow customers to plant a full crop next year, when by so doing they would depreciate the value of the security we have taken from them, which is their cotton." HONORED BY SENATE. Democrat Present a Gold Watch to Assistant Doorkeeper and Whin. Washington.—The Democratic senators have presented a handsome gold watch to Thomas W. Keller in recognition of his thirty-five years of faithful and efficient service to the party in the upper house. Though Mr. Keller's official designation is assistant doorkeeper of the senate, his duties are more nearly those of a parliamentary clerk or whip for the Democrats. He is responsible for the pairs of all Democratic senators and by arranging transfers sees to it that every possible Democrat gets a vote. SPARTAN RUSSIAN COLONEL. Klosed His Dead Son and Continued Giving Orders to Trouge Giving Orders to Troop. Petrograd.—The Russian Journal Soviet tells the following story of the Spartan conduct of Colonel Lopoukhine. He was listening, after the first great battle in Galicia, to the reading of the report of his regiment's casualties. "We have lost 200 killed and wounded," he was told. "How many soldiers killed? demanded Colonel Lopoukhine. "So many." "How many officers killed? "Only one." "What is the name of this officer?" "Lieutenant Lopoukhine." "Not a muscle of Colonel Lopouk- hine's face moved. "Where was the officer killed?" he asked. "The place was indicated. He went to the body of his dead son, dismounted from his horse, kissed the forehead and lips of his child, made the sign of the cross, remounted and continued giving orders." ACORNS A HEADACHE CURE. Woman, Alone, Wanders In Woods For Bird Worship Without Other Food Six Weeks Without Other Food. West Falmouth, Mass. — Declaring that she had wandered alone in the woods for six weeks, living on acorns and checker berries, as a "nature cure," Martha Palmer, forty years old, who had been missing since Sept. 12, returned to civilization the other day. She told Deputy Sheriff H. H. Lawrence that she had regained her health and enjoyed her experience, but that the increasing cold of the nights had forced her to seek shelter. Since she disappeared, saying that she was going for a stroll in the woods, relatives have been unceasing in their search for her. Sheriff Lawrence and a squad of men engaged in the hunt for days, but found no trace of her. When she appeared at a camp near Jenkins Pond, about three miles from the cottage where she formerly boarded, she was hatties and her clothing was in tatters. She sald her stay in the woods had cured her of a constant headache. PRINCE OSCAR TELLS HOW HE ESCAPED Rotterdam.—The Berliner Tageblatt gives extracts from a letter written by Prince Oscar, son of the kalser, to a widow of an officer killed in battle, the death of whom brought on the prince's heart attack. The prince wrote: "Two minutes before his death I was with your husband in the front line of [Name] PRINCE OSCAR defense. Both of us had by God's grace come through a hellish fire, which lasted all day. We were speaking together in the full fire of shells. Then your husband left to try to force an advance in order to have a view over the hostile batterles, which he wished to storm. "It was then he received the fatal shot and was called into the great army. I was not able to follow further what happened, as then I required to be assisted by two of my men on account of a heart attack, which I am endeavoring to recover from here at Hamburg under the care of my dear wife." 'SUES FOR RELEASE FROM JOB Term Expired, Utah Man Cannot Rid Himself of Official Job. Colton, Utah.-Lyman H. Marble, merchant and postmaster here, has retained an attorney in an endeavor to be released from his official position. His term expired more than a year ago, but the government has failed to appoint a successor or to release him or his bondsmen. The increase in mall matter since the parcel post was established has caused him serious losses.

After the Michigan Dreadnoughts Delav kota, authorized kships the tonnage per ship was increased to 20,000 tons and the main batteries consisted of ten twelve-inch guns mounted two to a turret, two forward and three aft. A Delaware twelve inch broadside weighs 8,500 pounds. The next step in the progression brings us to the Utah and Florida, the first, of the super-Dreadnoughts. In them the displacement reached 21,825 tons, and the twelve-inch broadside remained in weight the same as in the case of the Delaware and North Dakota. The construction of these ships began in 1909. The following year the present fleet flagship Wyoming and the first division flagship Arkansas were authorized. They represented a great stride in American Dreadnought design. Each of them displaced 26,000 tons, and in them the main batteries were increased from ten to twelve twelve-inch guns. A Wyoming broadside weighs 10,200 pounds. After the Wyoming and the Arkansas the keels of the monster super Dreadnoughts New York and Texas were laid in 1911. These were the first United States warships to mount the powerful fourteen inch ordnance. In them the displacement was increased to 27,000 tons. The New York broadside of ten fourteen-inch guns weighs 14,000 pounds. The Nevada and Oklahoma, which are soon to be added to the fleet under Admiral Fletcher, came next. They displace 27,500 tons and, like the New York and Texas, have main bat teries of ten fourteen-inch guns to the ship. The turret arrangement is different, however, for instead of two guns to a turret, as is the case with all the other ships named, the guns are mounted in four turrets. In two of the turrets are three guns, and in the other two turrets are two guns. This represents an entirely new departure in American gun arrangement. The Nevada broadside, like that of the ships of the New York class, weighs 14,000 pounds. From the New York to the Arizona is the next step in the progression In these ships the tonnage was in increased to 31,500 tons and two additional twelve inch guns were added to the main batteries of each After the Nevada come the California, Mississippi and Idaho, the ships whose construction has just been authorized No other navy in the world possesses ships, either built, under construction or authorized, that are the equal in either offensive or defensive power to America's latest authorized trio of giant fighters $1,200 FOR ELEVEN PEARS. Auction In London Raises Funds For Relief of Belgians. London.—Remarkable scenes were witnessed In the fruit auction sales rooms at Hull, when $1,200 was paid for eleven ordinary French pears, the proceeds to be devoted to the Belgian relief fund. Many purchasers paid $50 for a single pear, and the first purchaser at that price was a German fruit merchant, who also gave 10 gulneas ($52.50) for the auctioneer's hammer. Some purchasers bought their pears several times over, and one man who paid $100 had no pear at the end of the sale. MOTORS PLOW TRENCHES. Germans Have Cars With Attachments For Cutting Barbed Wire. For Cutting Barbed Wires. London.—The Germans do their trench cutting with motor plows," says the automobile expert of the Dally Chronicle in an article describing types of motor vehicles now in use in the war. "Where variety is concerned," he says, "it must be conceded that the Germans can claim the greatest degree of forethought, for they have two types of machine at least which are not to be found elsewhere. "Intrenchments, it need hardly be said, play a leading part in the campaign. The Germans do a good deal of their trench cutting by machinery. Before the war broke out they provided themselves with a number of mechanical plows, driven by 200 horsepower petrol motors. "It does not need much imagination to realize that engines of that power can scoop out trenches much more rapidly than men with spades, and, though it is improbable that the number of these machines is so large that they are likely to be available at a moment's notice at every single point at which intrenchment might become desirable, it cannot be doubted that the machines which have been constructed have proved highly useful and, for aught we know, may actually have been employed at the outset of the battle of the Alame. Anasmuch as wire is commonly used for obstructive purposes, it is noteworthy that the cars which the Germans use for field work are fitted with curved steel rods on the forefront. One of these has a cutting edge, and whenever wire is encountered it is caught up by the plain rod and passed on to the cutting edge, by which it is automatically severed." JOAN OF ARC SPIRIT ANIMATES WOMEN Lagny.—"The women of France are doing their half of the fighting in this war. This is my conclusion after talking with mothers and sisters and daughters whom I saw on my trip through the battle tramped fairyland," writes a correspondent. "Nothing else explains the heroic stand of the French against the walls of Paris after the cyclonic southward sweep of the Germans; nothing else clears up the mystery of the sudden defeat of the invaders in the battle of the Marne. The women had lent a hand. "I asked a woman whose home was in the center of a battlefield what she thought of the war." "We will win,' she said. "But what do you think about all this fighting and killing of one another? I added, determined to get at what this woman had to say on the broader, bigger side of the great war. "It's horrible, of course," she said simply. "And if he doesn't come back I don't know what I shall do, though I suppose I shall have to manage somehow." "A little girl, perhaps three years old, came out and joined her mother on the littered steps, her big, mysterious blue eyes bent on me and wondering who I could be. "We have two children,' the woman continued, 'this one and a baby. Perhaps we are in for a hard time. And maybe he won't come back. They say our losses are heavy, but if France wins where I lose I shall not complain. I shall feel that I, too, have done something.' "Even a great deal.' I said. "Yes,' she replied, 'even a great deal, for he was all I had." ONE CROP PAYS FOR FARM. Prison Warden Has Argument For Purchase of More Land. Lansing, Mich.-When Warden Simpson of the state prison at Jackson goes before the legislature this winter to ask for money to buy more land for prison farms he will have some figures that are likely to prove potent arguments. The figures show what has been done on one of the eighty acre farms purchased last year. The farm cost the state $25,875 and this year was planted to string beans after a crop of peas had already been taken off. These beans have been harvested and canned in the prison canning factory and, figured at wholesale car lot prices, are worth $29,531.10. Thus the first year's crop has paid the whole cost of the farm, besides more than enough to pay for the cans in which the beans have been put up. CARP, AN ANGLER, GETS BOY. Child of Four. Dragged From Boat by Big Fish. Swinefield, N. J.-Robert Hale, four years old, son of Henry Hale of Orange, was being rowed up the Passaic river by his brother. The boy trailed, an acorn on a piece of string in the water. Suddenly he was jerked out of the boat and towed through the water at a lively rate. He could not let go of the string, as it was fastened around his wrist. Boaters pulled him out, and at the end of the string was a carp weighing twenty-one pounds, which had swallowed the acorn. BERLIN SWARMS WITH EAGER MEN After Survey of Conditions Correspondent Finds That Kaiser Can Send Millions of Men Into Field—Little News Allowed to Filter Through. Curious to Know How London Feels. Berlin.—"After the westward rush of American refugees an American coming to Berlin from London is an object of curiosity here, and the writer has been continuously besieged with questions as to conditions in England, from foreign officials down to waiters," writes a correspondent who has just reached Berlin. "How do the English feel about the war? What does London look like? Are they getting nervous about our Zeppelins?" are samples of the questions asked eagerly, for what little English news is allowed to filter through Copenhagen, Holland and Rome in the THE CANNON STREET SCENES IN BERLIN, ONE SHOWING CAPTURED FRENCH CANNON. form of scrappy telegrams is inadequate to give even a distorted picture of conditions in England. When Imperial Vice Chancellor Delbruck told the writer that Germany had at the present time between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 men in the field he might have added that there were several million more in sight. There must be a whole army corps of uniformed soldiers and officers running around loose in Berlin alone. The streets were never so alive with the military, even in times of peace. Moreover, the cafes and streets are full of ablebodied men, all registered at the nearest police station and waiting their call to the colors. I am told that all the barracks in and around Berlin are full of landsturm soldiers getting a final polish before being sent to the front, while many classes of the landsturm have not been called out yet. In speculating on the probable duration of the war, therefore, one must take into account that for many months to come Germany will be able to put a fresh soldier in the field for every one of Kitchener's recruits. "A parallel comfortable delusion is entertained here. Not only the man in the street, but even the well informed, well educated German, woefully underestimates the human resources of the British empire and considers the British army as a negligible factor. The fact that Lord Kitchener hopes to lick a new army of 500,000 into shape in six months is well known here, but 'it can't be done. Absurd! Impossible!' is the verdict of the average German. "On the other hand, there is no evidence that the rank and file of the German people underestimate the magnitude of the conflict or that they expect a walkover. Even enthusiasts and the most optimistic estimate that the war will last at least six months longer, while a year would probably represent the verdict of the thoughtful majority. "Writing in the shadow of the Wilhelmstrasse. It is impossible not to feel that the London press had—honestly and quite naturally—overestimated the Russian factor and pinned too high hopes on the early effect of 'Russian pressure.' Berlin is not suffering from an attack of nerves caused by the sight of East Prussian refuges, for no more are arriving, and the idea that a Russian army might soon be knocking at the theoretical gates of Berlin seems as fantastic to the Berliner as an invasion from Mars. "While the official news, even of successes, is contained in crisp, inaconic dispatches devoid of all picturesqueness of detail and thoroughly unsatisfactory to the Anglo-Saxon mind (the British press bureau is prodigal of live news and human interest by comparison), there is much interesting gossip, some of it wearing the earmark of authority, to be snapped up here." THESE NURSES ARE "CURED." Red Cross Amateurs Balk When Asked to Bury Horses. Paris.—A few of the many privileged persons who, obtaining passes through political influence, motor to the neighborhood of the battle line to view the fighting, to the great annoyance of the French general staff, received an effective rebuke a few days ago. They had collected on a bill overlooking Solssons to watch the artillery duel that was, going on across the river when a staff officer rode up and asked what they were doing there. All with one accord said they had come out to see whether they could be of any use in Red Cross work. The staff officer at once sent them to the surgeon in command of the nearest field hospital with a message placing the whole party at his disposal. The surgeon rose to the occasion. "It was most kind of you to come," he said. "You can be of the greatest service. Here are plicks and spades. Will you kindly bury those dead horses?" Not many of the horses were ever hurled, but that corner of the field of battle was successfully cleared of spectators. OUR PART TO KEEP NEUTRAL Mr. Taft Says Europe Will Look to United States For Peace. New Haven. Conn.—Ex-President Taft, presiding at a Yale mass meeting to discuss the European war, said: "It is true that treaties are not absolute guarantees against war, but they are the best means we have of avoiding it. After the close of every war treaties become stronger and their efficacy becomes greater. Just because a treaty is sometimes broken is no reason why we should not make treaties. "I felt stunned when the great European nations became engaged in conflict. I hoped for weeks that the situation was not entirely hopeless and that the beginning of the end might be approaching, but one has to be an optimist if he can find anything hopeful in the present outlook. "It is of the utmost importance that the United States continue as a neutral nation, and I believe that European powers will yet look to us in this country to try to bring about peace." TOUCHING STORIES OF HEROIC DEATHS London. — Here are stories of two heroic deaths. The first is simply a letter found in the hands of a soldier who had just finished writing it when the end came: "I am awaiting help which does not come." the letter ran. "I pray God to take me, for I suffer astrociously. Adleu, my wife and dear children. Adleu, all my family, whom I so loved. "I request that whoever finds me will send this letter to Paris to my wife, with the pocketbook which is in my coat pocket. Gathering my last strength I write this, lying prostrate under the shell fire. Both my legs are broken. My last thoughts are for my children and for thee, my cherished wife and companion of my life, my beloved wife. Vivienne France." When a certain French colonel had walked a short distance ahead of his regiment to examine the German position 500 yards away, which he expected to attack, an orderly handed him a message. As he was reading it a German shell burst near by. The colonel staggered, with his thigh torn and agape and his boot filled with blood, Officers ran to aid him, but he pushed them away. "Gentlemen," he said. "I beg you to stand back. No, not here! Don't support me. No, no, not before my regiment!" Making a superhuman effort, the colonel, pale as death, staggered toward the awaiting regiment, to which he managed to read the text of the order which he had received. Suddenly a second shell burst, decapitating the colonel, who thus died the death which a French officer prefers above all others—at the head of his men. HERO BESCUES ELEVEN MEN. Swims to Them With Line, Over Which They Are Hauled to Boat. Milwaukee, Wis.—Eleven men near death from cold, exposure and drowning were taken off the "crib" nearly two miles from shore in Lake Michigan, where they were working at the outer end of the new tunnel which is to supply Milwaukee with drinking water. A terrific storm came up in the night, wrecking the small boat they used to reach shore. When the life saving crew arrived waves thirty feet high were breaking over the men, and the boat could not get near enough to take them off. They were too exhausted to grasp a line shot to them, so Anthony G. Schlenker of the crew swam to them with a line, over which they were hauled to the boat with a breeches buoy. A Joker In India. Calcutta. India.—"By kind permission of the Endem," is the inscription scrawled by a joker on plies of merchandise waiting shipment here. The German cruiser has played havoc with Indian commerce. Mark 16:1-8; Matthew 28:11-15—Dec. 6. "Why seek me the Living amongst the dead? He is not here, but risen.—Luke 21:5, 6 THE resurrection of the dead will be the greatest manifestation of Divine Power ever made to angels and to men. The awakening of Jairus daughter, of the widow of Nama son, and of Jesus' friend Lazarus are nowhere styled resurrections of the dead; they were merely awakening; the last of these being the most wonderful, because Lazarus had been dead four days and putrefine them had set in. The resurrection promised in the Bible will bring back the personality and the consciousness of billions of humanity who have died under the Divine sentence, "Dying, thou shalt die." "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." There could be no resurrection—no escape from that Divine sentence—except in the way that God has arranged; namely, that our Lord Jesus took the place of the original sinner. Adam, purchasing him and all his race back from the death state. Fallacious ideas have gone abroad to the effect that it will be merely the body that will be resurrected—that God will collect from the four winds every particle of dust which once composed the body, and will reorganize the race out of the same particles which formerly composed it. The absurdity of this thought grows upon us as we consider that the bodies of the dead have more or less gone into vegetation, etc. The difficulty has been that we lost sight of the Biblical declaration that it is the soul that dies (Ezekiel 18:4, 20). Our bodies are changed every seven years. It is the soul that dies, that has been redeemed and that is to be resurrected. Our Lord No Longer Human. Christ, as the Logos, was a living soul, being, on a high spirit plane. For man's sake He humbled Himself—"took a bondsman's form." (Philippians 2:7, 8.) As a human soul, or being, He died—"poured out His soul unto death," "made His soul an Offering for sln."—Isaiah 53:10-12. It was Jesus the soul that died, but He was raised from the dead a soul of a higher order. At that time, as He foretold. He ascended where He was before; that is, He was put to death in flesh, but quickened, or made alive, in spirit. (1 Peter 3:18) He took, the human nature merely for the great purpose of giving man's redemption-price: and after He had laid down that ransom price by giving Himself up beset, but quickened, or made alive, in spirit. (1 Peter 3:18.) He took the human nature merely for the great purpose of giving man's redemption-price; and after He had laid down that ransom price by giving Himself up to death, the Father raised Him up to glory, honor, immortality—far above angels, principalities, powers. Because after His resurrection Jesus was so different, we are prepared from this viewpoint to understand why He conducted Himself so differently after His resurrection—He appeared and dis appeared, we read. Never before had He done this. After His resurrection He appeared in different bodies, different forms, different clothing. To Mary He appeared as the gardener; to the two, walking to Emmaus. He appeared as a stranger. His clothing had been parted amongst the soldiers. How evidently He was put to death in flesh, but quickened in spirit! it was the Spirit Jesus who showed Him self, assuming different human forms and clothing, as best suited the occasion. This Spirit Being came into the assemblies of the disciples when the doors were fastened for fear of the Jews. He created or materialized a body and clothing in their presence, and after a few minutes He vanished, dissolving the body and the clothing, while He, the Spirit, remained invisible. Thus He was with the disciples for forty days before He ascended, yet they saw Him not, except for a few minutes at a time on seven different occasions. Those forty days were very necessary to teach two great lessons: (1) That He was no longer dead, but alive; (2) That He was no longer a man, but a spirit.—2 Corinthians 3:17. The Importance of the Resurrection. These facts are clearly established by St. Paul's narrative of his own experiences. He explains that it was necessary that the twelve Apostles should be able to bear witness to Je- sus' resurrection. There could have been no Gospel Message of hope of Divine favor through a dead Savior. Had Christ not risen, who would establish the Messianic Kingdom and call forth from the tomb There could have been no Gospel Message of hope of Divine favor through a dead Savior. Had Christ not risen, who would establish the Messianic Kingdom and call forth from the tomb the sleeping billions of the dead? All this the Apostle forcibly calls, to our minds.—1 Cor 15:12-19. Evidently St. Paul in no way shared the views of those who unscripturally claimed that Jesus while dead was really alive, and that the resurrection of the dead is a mere formality, quite unnecessary to the carrying out of God's Plan. The Divine teaching is that "the dead know not anything," and that the resurrection is absolutely necessary to any future life.

It has always been the policy of The Bee to advocate and urge the adoption of any and all movements which have for their object the development of the colored people along the lines which insure moral, intellectual material and social efficiency. While there has been exhibited considerable promiscuity in the selection of topics, by no means expressing definition of relative importance or pre-eminence, yet we believe that, as a whole, we have not strayed from those truly basic and thoroughly constructive principles, the practical and early adoption of which must eventuate in our individual and collective permanent benefit. It has been a question as to whether it were not far better to take up subjects in the order of their importance and to pound away at one until its acknowledgment or adoption, or both, are made popular, than to go about it unsystematically and without regard to subjects. We deem the method we have pursued as preferable, for the reason that, considering the limited scope of the average colored newspaper, the unfortunate disorganized or poorly organized condition of the colored press, the great variety of subjects of approximately equal importance to be dealt with and the psychological peculiarities of the American body politic, it would be next to impossible to secure unity of action or concentration of thought on the part of the masses at any particular time upon any given subject. Otherwise, we should be persistent and unceasing in our demand for equality of civil and political rights as the highest and strongest bulwark of our peace, prosperity and happiness. Then, too, subjects are forced upon our consideration by the unexpected agitation of certain policies the successful pursuit of which would likely affect us harmfully, though out of radical or transcendent importance. For instance, the press of the country is taking up the advisability of importing large masses of Belgian peasants to be distributed throughout the unoccupied farming areas of the North, and in the South, to replace in a large degree the colored farm laborer. Here is a question of great importance, though not vital, which the exigencies of the European war has forced upon us. And it is the part of wisdom to consider well the current of thought and events on the subject. In the first place, it must be borne in mind that the oft-repeated statement to the effect that the South is the natural home of the colored people, is a false one, as history has shown and current events are daily demonstrating. There is no part of the United States where, by reason of the climate, the colored people cannot live. They are now to be found in the most northerly latitudes enduring the climate and adapting themselves to new social conditions as readily and successfully as the white native, or foreign immigrant. The reason for the promulgation of the fallacy of the colored man's unsuitability to northern conditions is plain. He certainly has been an indispensable economic factor in the South and at one time considered the most profitable wealth producer in the world, all things considered. Of course, it must be considered that his labor has been, and is, unorganized and unexacting from a financial standpoint, possessing a political value to the employer unheard of in any other section than the South. Moreover, the laborer in that section, by a system of complete or quasi-peonage, is cajoled or beaten into a high state of economic service and the lowest state of liberty and independence. And so he may continue to exist until he is relieved by the presence of the Bel- GOOD ADVICE. Hon. H. Martin Williams, the reading clerk of the House of Representatives is a true and genuine American citizen. Where he came from no one knows but God. But he informs us that there are more white people in this country other than himself who are the friends of the colored Americans. His address at the Northeast Forum last Sunday evening was a masterly effort. His advice to the colored people should be followed. He is surprised to see so many colored people in this city making the white man rich and himself poorer. Why are there not more business establishments? Why don't the colored people open stores and patronize them, instead of going to stores where they are not wanted, and where they are "Jim Crowed?" His address should have been read and digested by the one hundred thousand col- Then there are our drug stores, such as Dr. Board, Dr. Morse and others. No better drug stores can be found in this city. Why go to white dye works, when we have the Foster Dye works, the largest in the city? Why hasn't Foster fifty clerks instead of three? Why hasn't he forty workmen instead of ten? It is because the Negros of this city have no race pride, but would rather patronize places that "Jim Crow" them. Let the Negroes throw away their jealousies and read and support their own newspapers. The Bee welcomes the Eagle in its midst, and wishes it a long and prosperous life. One hundred thousand Negroes ought to support two Negro papers. Will they? GRAND CHIEF. The Bee would like to know what authority has the Grand Chief of the Independent Order of St. Luke and the investigating committee if their acts can be revoked by an inferior body. The Bee is of the opinion that Mrs. Maggie Walker has committed a great blunder in interfering in the recent investigation of members of her order who were charged and found guilty of having violated the law of the order. The most remarkable act yet committed was the alleged decision of the advisory committee and that act communicated to the accused party and her attorney and not to the party who preferred the charges. Under the ruling of this great (?) and all-powerful (?) advisory committee any person may violate the law of the order and if the grand secretary is not satisfied or pleased with the act or decision of the Grand Worthy Chief, it may be set aside at will. If this is a fact what right has any member or council, if a member violates the law? The decision of the trial committee is either right or wrong. Who must determine the validity of its acts? The Grand Council or an inferior body? If such an arbitrary act on the part of the advisory committee is permitted to stand without question, then the constitution of the Independent Order of St. Lukes is contradictory and it conflicts with the law governing such organization, which should be remedied at once. The Bee is at a loss to know why the male members in the order don't withdraw and permit the petticoats to run it. Now that we are at a season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, would it not be an opportune time to call upon our ministers of the gospel to designate the next three Sundays as occasions for the propitiation of Him, who is no respecter of persons, that he might stay the tide of prejudice and hatred which is fast running from the South toward all the other sections of this great land, and which threatens to impede our progress, sour our dispositions and engulf us in a vortex of woe, misery and possible resentment? How long, O Lord, how long! has been our cry for lo! these hundreds of years, and the tyrant has not relented, but only increased his disposition and power to deny us the commonest rights or privileges of men. Let our preachers preach powerfully and pray a special prayer for release from this bondage which is worse than death. GOOD. The time has come when, if we have a white friend, who respects our opinion or our friendship, and that friend is led unwittingly into an attitude of unwisdom or uncharity, as respects our race, it is our bounden duty to seek to dissuade him by every honorable art within our power. And, even when he has done an act which may do harm, it is our duty to notify him of his unkindness and endeavor, by appealing to his sense of honor or friendship, to cause them to desist. Such a course will in the majority of cases work in our favor. We have seen some of the effects of such tactics of late and commend the efforts heartily. NOT THE PLACE. The newspaper is not the place to try school matters. There are times and places designated to display all imperfections, if any exist, in our schools. Don't worry about The Bee; it will speak at the proper time. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) George Collins is one of those fellows that don't mix—just hibernates about as if he was in the business of transferring eels, and yet the saffron limb of the law is gradually getting there. This thing of mixing don't count for as much as it use to was. A majority of these members of the variegated race get it into their ornamental top piece that to get there a fellow must mix—mix with the hot polo, click glasses with the bar room fraternity, decorate the street corners, and do the hesitation and tango at all the kangaroo dances. Away back yander in the prehistoric age when the society for the Amalgamation of Lost Opportunities was in existence mixing might have been an asset, but it ain't now, and the fellow who sticks to his knitting and refuses to sign with the Gossip League is the fellow that inches to the front these days. I use to think George Collins was about as cold and opaque a quantity of "yaller" fish that ever moved out of St. Louis, and I predicted, when he matriculated in law up at Howard, he was just simply spoiling a good dummy for a second-hand clothing store. But the guy just took up his own skillet, let out a few inches of his own sticktoitiveness, and now he's making a living at law, even if* that living don't enable him to spend his summers in the Mirondacks and his winters at the Ponce de Leon in Florida. Now George ain't paying one red copper for this stuff, and George ain't the fellow to pay nothing for luxuries now. I'm just holding it to him sort of "free gratic" like, as my friend Maxfield would assert when orating down at Bethel Literary. Course, when George gets a divorce case, an administrator's appointment, etc., its just like him to return god for evil by having his legal notices published in The Bee, and you can't blame him for he knows The Bee's got the circulation in spite of all that apologists say to the contrary notwithstanding. Selah. Speaking about mixing, I know one lawyer that would take the premium at an international fair of mixers, and when he got out of a snug government job not one of his mix associates gave him a single case, and he couldn't make enough at practicing law to pay the landlord for a ten dollar per month room. I've found in my thirty old years lost among the denizens of this berg that the more you mix the more enemies you make and the less patronage you get. Doc Will Davis never mixes with nobody save his brother Frank, occasionally, and the drugs on his shelf daily, and let me tell you that prodigy of silence and work ain't worrying about the war tax or the failure of the Underwood tariff law. He mixed his drugs for cash, granted a special permit to all his customers permitting them to look after their own business while he just looked after his own exclusive business, and you never hear no one knocking him around the corner. There are several other recluses around here in the same class that some day I'm going to select out and specialize on for the refification of the Society of Mixers and the education of the fellows that want to learn the safe road to success. My advice is to just shinny on your own side, put dynamite under all gossip and blow it to fragments, forget you have received invitations to dances and card parties given by mock society, overlook all banquets given by the imitators of the idle rich, and by and by you can draw a check on some bank that has a nice surplus lying in its vault. You just can't eat the cake and have it, so there ain't no use in figuring that mixing with Tom, Dick and Harry, and being a swell member in good standing of all the lodges, card clubs and dancing clubs is going to get you even so much as a blind herring for a Thanksgiving repast. Take my word for it, this mixing is all frayed out at the ends ```markdown ``` One of the hightowers in topnotch society 'raised a commotion in his domicil, in the territory bounded by You, S, 13th and 9th streets last Sunday morning that the next door neighbors happen to hear, just because his wife, through mistake, had set the bottles containing the alcohol where the bottle containing the Slo Gin usually stood. Course the mistake caused my friend's alimentary canal, to get all "het" up, and made his stomach feel like he was carrying around an overheated furnace in it, but that was no excuse for him planting his number tens in such close proximity to where his wife sits down on as to make a cruel bruise on it, and it was no excuse for him to cuss that wife, and he a deacon in church, too. The safest way is to cut out the appetite for four fingers of Slo Gin every morning before breakfast, and it won't make no difference if the alcohol bottle and the gin bottle do swap places on the pantry shelf. \*\*\* I'm going to suggest to Manager Thomas, just out of interest for his success, that he formulate some way to make the crowd of ogglers that stands out in front of the Howard to pipe off and oggle ladies move on. It's getting to be so that many ladies would just as soon pass between a file of Russian Cossacks that had been marooned on an Island for six months, as to file through that line of half-witted dudes that stretch themselves from Howard's exit to 7th street when the show lets out. I know one dad who caught his 20-year old heir-apparent standing in that line the other evening trying to mash a real brunet of some sixteen or eighteen summers, and he didn't do a thing but beckon for that son to come on, and when he got him down as far as the meeting point of Florida, T and Sixth street, he just sent a quick kick to the seat of his son's creased trousers with the remark: "If I ever catch you in that line of vagabonds trying to mash innocent girls again, I'm going to kick you all the way home." Several people saw the lightening-like thrust of the dad's number ten, and saw it connect with that part c1 the son's anatomy that is used to sit on a chair with, and heard the son's smothered groan caused thereby. My advice to young girls, when any of these masheres attempt to pipe them off, is just to walk straight up and slap them square on the proboscis before all. Mebbe that will cure them. Then there is another class of cigarette dudes that hang around the stage entrance to make a hit with some of the over-hat actresses that show at Howard. They think it makes them look awfully clever, and sound like real banged-up, sure enough mashers, to be able to blow a few dollars on one of these painted castoffs that makes a new lover in every town. Poor fools, they don't know that their trying to gang up with these painted bits of stage bric-a-brac makes them appear like clattering idiots on parole from St. Elizabeth. Manager Thomas, you will sure please the lady patrons of your fun and picture factory if you will just take steps to remove these excesses. I know it's a hard job, but you might try it by speaking to Capt. Doyle for a little assistance. If Capt. Doyle tells them to "move on," in a sort of Eighth Precinct Station tone of voice, I'll bet they'll move the same as does a fellow what has taken a couple or three cascaretts. Woody Wilson pried Link Johnson loose from that Recorder's job way the first of last July, and ain't yet appointed his successor, although he said he was going to put another chocolate bon bon in his place. Well why don't you do it? What's the reason for the procrastination? Was it just another one of your New Freedom bluffs? Or has colored Democrats, since your approval of segregation, assumed sufficient race pride and manliness to decline to accept anything at your hands. If the latter is true, God be praised. Howard Academy. Howard Academy team was too much for the eleven from Armstrong Manual School team in the game played on the Howard campus yesterday afternoon and won by the score of 2 to 0. When the teams appeared on the field it was seen that the Academy team was heavier by an average of ten to fifteen pounds per man, and that unless the Manual Training could prove faster it was doomed to defeat. Penalties for illegal use of hands and holding by the Howard team prevented Tech from being schored in the first period, and much fumbling on Armstrong's part rendered futile their ability to advance the ball in the enemy's territory. In the second period fumbles by Tech gave the "Preps" the ball in the visitors' territory, whereupon Etrange and Jackson advanced it to a touchdown with Jackson on the ball. Jackson, Roane and Pannell took up the rushing after Vrmstrong had received and made ineffectual attempts to gain, and again Howard scored on Pannell's long dash through a hole in the opponent's line. In the next two periods the Academy could not score, and Armstrong here put up the best efforts of the day. Parker, Bacon and Duckett got away for good long gains, while Parker contributed several kicks thatcept the Academy boys away. Riley, Bolling, Smith and the four backfield men were in the limelight for the Academy students, while Parker, Duckett, Davis, Bacon, Spriggs and Hill did well for Tech. The Academy team is the best secondary school team that the local high school boys have been up against. It is unfortunate that the basic rule limiting scholastic competition to players under 21 years of age is not a part of the eligibility code as formerly, so that.a scholastic championship might be decided.

Baltimore will celebrate their twenty-fifth anniversary of the employment of colored teachers in the city schools next week. The Howard vs. Hampton football game Thanksgiving Day was largely attended. Philadelphia. Baltimore and New Jersey was well represented. The score was: Howard, 6; Hampton, 0. Hugh Harper, of Weatherford, Texas, is the first colored man to be employed in Portland, Ore. He is employed in a white shoe store as clerk. The colored people are trading there. The mind is above fortune; if it be evil, it makes everything else so too; but if it be right and sincere, it corrects what is wrong and mollifies what is hard, with modesty and courage.

There is no druggist in the city of Washington better known and conducts a better business than Dr. John W. Morse, 1904 L Street N. W. As a pharmacist and a man of business Dr. Morse is among the leading in the city and his drug store is considered the gem of the West End. It is said that his prescription trade leads in that section of the city and is equal to any of the larger druggists. There is nothing in the drug line that cannot be had at this store. His perfumes, soaps and every toilet article of high class, imported and domestic, will be found in his store. None but registered pharmacists are permitted to compound all prescriptions that come in his drug store from the leading physicians in the city. His soda fountain is an up-to-date and sanitary one. His syrups and ice cream are made daily. There is nothing in the drug and toilet line that cannot be obtained in this up-to-date store. Dr. Morse is affable and polite, competent and progressive, and is entitled to the support and encouragement of the people. Before going down town for toilet articles or Christmas presents in his line, call and inspect his goods.

The turkey that was placed upon the table weighed twenty pounds dressed, which is an evidence of its size. The dinner was served in courses, and it was one of the most pleasing events that Arlington, Va., has ever given. Besides Mrs. Lee as hostess, she was assisted by Miss Kate Bennett.

Scott will leave the city today, stopping first in Philadelphia, where he is to deliver the eulogy for O. V. Catto Lodge of Elks, upon the occasion of their annual memorial exercises, which are to be held in that city at 2:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Standard Theater. He will speak upon the subject "Death the Stimulus to Highest Achievements." He will leave Philadelphia at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon for Atlantic City, where he is to speak for Light House Lodge of Elks No. 9, at 8 o'clock Sunday night, at Fitzgerald's Auditorium, upon the occasion of the annual memorial exercises of that lodge. He will speak, there upon the subject "Life and its Responsibilities." Both lodges have made elaborate preparations for him, and The Bee is quite sure that Lawyer Scott will give a good account of himself. Stand by Murray.

One copy per year in advance...$2.00 Six months.....1.00 Three months.....5.0 Subscription monthly.....2.0 While we have no quarrel with the Excise Board, we are at a loss to understand why or how so many of the bars kept by colored proprietors fell under the ban. A casual inspection of the town, coupled with inquiry as to the personnel of bar-room proprietors, we cannot escape the fact that the rum trade is substantially in the hands of the Irish and Germans, the former predominating. As a general rule the first named purveyors manage to locate in neighborhoods where the colored people are in large numbers, if not in the majority, and are the foremost in establishing jimcrow distinctions, it matters not what the character or condition the colored people may be. We do not favor class privileges in any service, but under present conditions, when the jimcrow spirit is daily increasing, see no reason why colored saloon proprietors should not have had a strictly fair show, or rather, a larger representation than at present. We are not favoring intemperance when we say that if the spirit of jimcrowism is to be tolerated or encouraged fairness would suggest that a fairiciously distributed, of people he given licenses in those who desire alcohages in a bar-room may modated without being in white folk. Considering the great number of licenses granted and the very few colored people engaged in the business, it looked like an especial effort to do away with colored saloons. In looking over the field we certainly can find no earthly reason why the hostility of Moses Dade should have been closed. It is notorious that that place was among the least objectionable in the city, as indicated by the hundreds of testimonials of white and col red neighbors and friends. We trust either that the colored people be given a fair number of establishments or that the Excise Board insist upon such regulations as will relieve those who enter white barrooms from the humiliation of having to drink behind screens and among uncongenial surroundings. COLD FEET. The news dispatch which conveyed the information that 400 Irishmen, ranging between 18 and 25 years of age, had fled from Great Britain to avoid conscription, is not so very surprising to us. It takes a whole lot of patriotism for any class of people to enthusiastically or loyally risk life to save a government which, has had but small disposition and less time to devote toward the amelioration of their unfortunate condition. The colored people can fully sympathize with the Irish in their plight, but they are equally surprised to find them in the attitude of deserting their mother country in the hour of their great danger. Policy may dictate this as being the most effective time to "hit back," but looking through spectacles of a colored man, albeit in a worse position with reference to human rights and a fair deal, the act looks too ugly for any sort of indorsement. Whatever may be said of the colored people, it is without question that they will never desert the ship of state in a storm. It has been intimated that the Irish are about the only ones sailing west just now; but that is a matter for them. It is not absolutely certain that the present position of the colored people will remain constant, but up to the present writing all is loyal to the flag. And may our erstwhile enemies and detractors soon bear in mind that "there is a point beyond which patience ceases to be a virtue." A STRICT NEUTRALITY. In the last issue of the Crisis appears an article headed "World War and the Color Line," in which it is asserted that "the triumph of Germany means the triumph of every force calculated to subordinate darker peoples," and concludes that the colored people should give their "sympathies to those nations whose triumph will most tend to postpone if not to make unnecessary a world war of races," meaning the allies. This conclusion is predicated upon the declaration that the triumph of Germany "would mean triumphant militarism, autocratic and centralized government and a studied theory of contempt for everything except Germany," and that "the record of Germany as a colonizer toward weaker and darker people is the most barbaric of any civilized people, and grows worse instead of better." At the same time, the article admits that "England was in the past blood-guilty above all lands in her wicked and conscienceless rape of darker races" and that "Belgium has been as pitiless and grasping as Germany and in strict justice deserves every pang she is suffering after her unspeakable atrocities in Congo." We heartily concur in the last two quotations, for the reason that they are historically correct; but the strictures administered upon Germany, which are in the main nothing more than gratuitous prognostications as to what she would do under certain conditions, the approximation toward which she has never yet realized, because they lack that support which common sense and simple justice dictate—positive, admitted facts or well sustained inferences. That the colonial policy of Germany has not been characterized by a proper regard for the rights and interests of the darker races is most true; on the contrary, it has been exacting, tyrannical, brutal in the extreme. But the same may be said of the attitude of England, at the present time, as shown by the burdens, restrictions, discriminations and atrocities heaped upon the colored races in South Africa and India; and similar conditions, though not so intense, may be truthfully charged to France. In fact, the whole history of white government of dark races is one horrifying recital of pitiless rapacity, injustice and crime, whether it relates to Africa, India, the Philippines, or elsewhere. We are advised to take side with the "allies," and for what? We are asked to prefer slavery under England and France and Belgium to the German yoke. Why? What is there about the German that we should so abhor and fear him? Is it his civilization? Germany is not as large as Texas; yet she can boast of over twenty universities of the best type known to the civilized world, over 800 gymnasia or highgrade academies and 75,000 common schools; and today she is by far the least illiterate of any country, save Denmark, in Europe. Her state religion is Lutheran, and while over 63 per cent of the population are Protestant, yet there is more religious tolerance than in any other country on the continent. The intellectual brilliancy and keenness of Kant, Fichte and Hegel, the matchless genius of Goethe, Schiller and Heine, of Mozart, Weber, Schumann and Wagner, of Bismarck, Von Molke; and the increasing galaxy of later thinkers and discoverers to whom the world is so largely indebted for the present advancement in biology, physics, metaphysics, religion, agriculture, art and astronomy, have furnished and are furnishing the ideals toward which the whole German mind is aspiring and rapidly moving. In ocean trade Germany is second only to England, and her general trade conditions are far in advance of any other country on the continent. In a recent article in one of America's most popular and scientific journals, it was shown that the most productive feature of Germany's commercial success is to be found in her policy of founding colonies and schools for the inculcation of ideas which lead to a higher and more practical appreciation of habits and customs of civilized life among the various peoples with which she trades. Thus it would seem that the extension of German commerce would mean, not degradation, but enlightenment, not barbarism, but civilization. But the Crisis reminds us that Germany has been as grasping as Belgium. How so? And assuming that she has been as pitiless and grasping as Belgium, how do those propensities compare with those of England and France? A few facts might be of service just here. The areas of the British Isles, France, Russ 120,677, 204,092, 8,600,016 and 210,273 square m the populations per square mile are: England 260. 52 and Germany 238. Such were the statistics c for practical purposes, they may be safely taken 120,677, 201,092, 8,600,016 and, 210,273 square m the populations per square mile are: England 20. 52 and Germany 238. Such were the statistics c for practical purposes, they may be safely taken be seen that, assuming social conditions to be equal, and amusing the right of territorial expansion, the possession of outlying territory and the grasping instinct should be adjusted on the basis of 10,9 and 7 for England, Germany and France, respectively. Of course, these relations should be modified to a degree commensurate with acquisition by purchase. But neither of these countries has cultivated the virtue of purchasing what does not belong to them. England and France have expanded through the insidious makeshifts of "protectorates" and "spheres of influence," when not by conquest or one-sided, so-called treaties, as has also been the case with Germany. While we do not attach so much importance to the talk about a "color war," it unfortunately happens that the colored races are fearfully involved in the terrible war-game for commercial supremacy: To epitomize the cause and effect of the struggle now raging, we need only to express two words—"Raw Material. Now, by what nations has the propensity for "grasping," we may say hoggishness, been most pronounced? Let us confine ourselves to the strictly colored races. England has expanded, in one way and another, as follows: In Africa 2,010,000 square miles; in India, 1,560-160 square miles; in Australia, 2,916,691 square miles, not to speak of the large areas in the East and West Indies. France expansion in Africa comprehends 3,610,000 square miles, while Germany has, under a variety of arrangements, 898,000 square miles in Africa. Of this trio of world powers it may easily be seen who have done the "grasping," who are the real hogs; certainly not Germany. Russia has not manifested any desire toward expansion in Africa for the reason that she has 8,660,616 square miles in Europe and northern Asia, and a population per square mile of but 52, by far the greater density being in European Russia. It certainly appears to us that the Crisis has laid the charge of inordinate grasping proclivities at the wrong door; for measured by the facts in the case, Lugland and France express the dimensions and appetite of the matured Berkshire, while the German nation has not yet risen to the proportions of a moderate sized guinea-pig. All of the current bombast about the recognition of the loyalty and heroism of the black, brown and yellow natives in the appointment of commissioned officers of color may be accounted for in the fact that the English and French nations have large native military establishments, while Germany, having but little of them, has practically none. It will therefore readily be seen that sound protective policy alone would favor the highest possible efficiency and encouragement for the French and English African subjects, without any regard to sentiments of race equality or universal brotherhood. As for taking exception to the use, by Germans, of the terms "nigger," and "mongrels," everybody knows where and how they originated and by what nations most lavishly used. The terms are of distinctly American origin and English adoption; and when used by these nations, signify inferiority, moral leprosy and social, moral, material and inefficiency. Used by the Germans, they possess only reflex signification, and are intended as instruments to convey a biting sarcasm to which color-prejudiced nations like the United States are only too truly and justly exposed. The Germans have borrowed the terms and use them in irony or sarcasm, not out of race prejudice and hatred. But the Crisis makes a very frank and commendable confession, though not without the conjunctive loophole, the absque hoc. He says: "The writer speaks without anti-German bias; personally he has deep cause to love the German people. They made him believe in the essential humanity of white folk twenty years ago when he was near to denying it. But even then the spell of militarism was in the air, and the Prussian strut had caught the nation's imagination." That were well said, but for the absque hoc. But what has militarism or the "Prussian strut" to do with the case? Why should these bare circumstantialities bear so adversely upon the writer's appreciation of the real German character? Prussia is the most populous of the larger countries on the continent, and would seem to be most in need of extra-territorial expansion. She is henned in on all sides by jealous, powerful and intriguing enemies all bent upon her destruction or humiliation. Why should not her military establishment be of the highest efficiency and in numbers sufficient to meet the single or combined attacks of her avowed and ever-threatening enemies? Besides, this militarism, with all its imaginary horrors, it does not affect a single person of the darker races; it is absolutely a domestic institution for domestic protection. Then why should colored folk get delirious about it? And why not the "Prussian strut?" The commanding position of the Fatherland in all that determines the greatness of a people justifies the "Prussian strut." Would to heaven the colored people had an equal cause to strut. And pray, who can, outstrut the Englishman, who may have some cause, or the average Southern "cracker," who has not the remotest shadow of one? Let them all strut, if they will, but while strutting let them strut in a manner to reflect honor upon the strutter and to the disadvantage of no one among whom they strut. With charity for all and malice toward none, we do not agree with the Crisis. The German-American, of all the heterogeneous humanity resident in this country, is the least affected by color-prejudice. He expresses the highest and best types of citizenship. The literature of the Fatherland breathes the spirit of liberty and elaborates and exhales the spirit of truth and justice, of Christian toleration and disinterested helpfulness. Those who have lived among those of German extraction know of their neighborlyness and uniform kindly feeling, and those who have been fortunate in visiting Germany can testify to the uniform hospitality of the German people toward the darker races. We deem it shortsightedness and unjust to advise that the colored people take sides against the Germans in the contest now waging. We would advise a strict neutrality, a pause, a standing still "to see the salvation of the Lord;" for in this our trying position, we can ill afford to alienate any considerable element of the whites in this country, least of all that prodigious fair-minded, progressive, efficient and hitherto friendly element whose Fatherland is now in the throes of one of the most disastrous, important and far-reaching wars the world has ever seen. ANCIENT ORDER MOOSE RANGERS. Is now being organized in this city. Charter now open. The main feature is a club house with all club privileges for members, also pay a sick, accident and death benefits. There is no other organization of this kind that have a club house in Washington, and with a population of one hundred thousand colored people, the field is open for just such an organization. Clayton B. Fellows, the National Organizer, has headquarters at The Bee Office, is signing up the first class. Special Charter Fee now $5.00. Dues, 50 cents per month. The Moose Rangers is founded on three great principles—Purity, Aid and Progress. Purity in thought and action towards your brother members and your fellowmen. Aid in the time of sickness and distress. Progress in this day and age of Progress. The Moose keeps pace with the times, and is not a class organization catering to a wealthy few, but is open to all men of good character, regardless of occupation, color, race or creed. There is nothing in our Ritual to interfere with a man's religious or political beliefs. As you enter a Ranger Lodge, you leave—a man. The Moose Rangers representative form of government. The Supreme conven- e held once a year and every Lodge in the jurisdiction is entitled to delegates. WHAT THEY ARE: The Order of Moose Rangers is not an insurance organization. Its members are the clan whose blood circulates. Their cardinal virtues are to aid the sick, bury the dead and inject sunshine into dark places. They are not Saints, simply disburserers of practical Christianity. There are no Moose Rangers in Potter's Field or County Shroud. They live, not merely exist, and lend unto the Lord, for they give unto the poor. Their mission is to do good. They hold high above all other things, as high as hope's great throbbing star, above the darkness of the dead, the love of wife and child and home and friend. NORMAL SCHOOL NO.2 The deplorable condition in which Normal School No. 2 is now should demand the serious consideration of the Board of Education, and if it fails to remedy the condition in which that schools is now. Chief Justice Covington or somebody in authority should institute a thorough investigation. Insubordination to the principal on the part of certain teachers is something notorious. Mrs. Lacey Moten, the principal, is not respected by those under her, which would not be tolerated in any other school five seconds. A distinguished physician visited the school a few days ago and while the principal was escorting him through the building certain teachers as well as certain pupils would utter certain uncomplimentary remarks and showed by their acts that they were insubordinate to the principal. This well known physician and citizen became disgusted and left the building. He remarked that no principal would be able to conduct a school while teachers and pupils acted in such a disorderly manner. Would such condition be allowed to exist in the white schools? Would the Board of Education permit the principal of the white normal school be thus insulted? The great trouble is the Normal School is the insubordinate of the subordinate which should be remedied at once. The Bee wants to know why should insubordinate teachers be permitted to insult the principal. Why is the principal not sustained? From what this physician said to the Editor of the Bee, conditions in Normal School No. 2 are deplorable. The principal, Miss Moten, is imposed upon, which should not be. JOHN E. LASKEY. ESO. THE appointment of John E. Laskey, Esq., to the position of United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, is no doubt one of the most acceptable appointments that has yet been made by President Wilson. Mr. Laskey succeeds a good man in the person of Mr. Wilson. Both are clean and conscientious, and neither would resort to tricks to convict the innocent, no matter what the circumstances may be. Mr. Laskey is a hightoned, quiet and polished gentleman. Mr. Wilson is likewise possessed with fine qualities. A brilliant and successful administration is hoped for the new prosecutor. MEN FOR THE PEOPLE If there was a vote given the people today there is a few men who will get their vote regardless of their politics, religious creed or anything else. Captain James F. Oyster loved and appreciated by the people. The compliment paid him by his appointment as one of the directors of the Reserve Bank is an evidence of the esteem in which he is held by the people. Judge James L. Pugh, although a Democrat, has won the confidence and respect of the people. There are other men for whom the colored people would vote in preference to many Republicans. THE BEE A PROPHET Just as The Bee predicted last week that New-York would elect Whitman. McKinley, Joe Cannon and Sidney Mudd were also elected from their respective states. The Bull Moose is no more.. All hail Penrose, Cannon, McKinley, Longworth and others. OUR CONDOLENCE. The editor of The Bee tenders to Editor Henry P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellow's Journal, his profound condolence in the hour of his bereavement. Peace be to the soul-of his most excellent wife. The return of Captain James P. Oyster to the Board of Education is the wish of the people. Any man has a right to visit the public schools so long/as he is gentlemanly and conducts himself properly. The schools don't belong to the Board of Education or any member of the Board of Education. The entire business will be legislated out of existence next month. JOHN E. LASKY. Continued from page one Many Important Cases. Many Important Cases. When Mr. Laskey begins the duties of his office he will find himself facing a very great number of important prosecutions. There are more than twenty homicide cases now pending in the District courts, not to mention the very important cases against the commission merchants of Washington, who were indicted on charges of conspiracy to raise the price of foodstuffs at the beginning of the war in Europe. These, together with an enormous amount of routine work, and the certainty that the office of the District Attorney will have a flood of complaints alleging violations of the Kenyon law, make it perfectly certain that the new District Attorney will be called upon to exert the extraordinary ability and untiring energy credited to him by every representative lawyer in Washington.

They are the originators of Nelson's Hair Dressing, a preparation that is sold in every state-in the Union. It has been on the market for nearly twenty years and today has probably the largest sale of any preparation of its kind. Such a remarkable success would not be possible unless the article had real merit. Many of our readers have no doubt used it and know of its value. Those who have not used it and would like to test it can do so without cost, as the manufacturers offer to send any reader of this paper a liberal free sample, if they will enclose a two-cent stamp to pay postage and mention this paper, they will also include a sample of their other preparations, Nelson's Scalp and Hair Cleaner and Nelson's Skin and Complexion Soap. Write today and get these samples and give them a personal test. CAPT. IAS F. OYSTER The man the people respect and honor. Those whom he has faithfully served may need him again.

A Brilliant Marriage in the Subur- ban Village of Rosslyn, Va. On Wednesday evening, November 25th at 7 o'clock, there was, solemnized, at the home of the bride in the suburban village of Rosslyn, Va., one of the most attractive weddings of the season, when Miss Maud G. Daniels and Mr. George A. Parker were united in marriage. The home was tastily decorated in palms and yellow and white chrysanthemums. To the strains of Mendelssoln's wedding march, played by Mrs. Viola Jefferson Freeman, the bridal party entered the room with the bride on the arm of her father, Prof. Robt J. Daniels. While they stood beneath the arch of palms where the ceremony was soon to take place, Miss Rachel E. Guy sang, "O Perfect Love," after which the Rev. Mr. Edgar E. Ricks, minister of the First Baptist Church of Georgetown, performed the ceremony. Serene as the autumn evening the bride was most charming in her gown of brocaded crepe meteor' with pearl trimmings and lace, and her tulle veil so tastily held in place with a wreath of lilies of the valley.

Zion Church Last Sunday was woman's day at the above church and too, a high day. The pastor, Rev. R. A. Carroll, preached in the morning from the subject "The triumph of Christianity," and as usual he gave us much food for thought. He said that scientists, philosophers, astronomers all disagree and are constantly making new discoveries. But from the time that God told Nicodemus to receive the new birth as a means of entering heaven, no change has been made in the plan. They differ in the distance of the sun from the earth and he doesn't believe any of them. Lacalle says it's 70,000,-000 of miles from the earth, Humbolt says it's 82,000,000, Henderson says it's 90,000,000, Herschel says it's 95,-000,000, Mayer says it's 104,000,000. But while they all differ in this they unite in one point. The entire distance is covered by faith through Christ. At 3:15 and 7:30, Rev. Mattie Mason-Fry preached two powerful sermons, and aroused the church to material activity. WEST WASHINGTON The Parsonage Committee recently reorganized have elected Mrs. Martha S. Hall president, and Mrs. Harriet Johnson, secretary. The Epworth League of Mt. Zion M. E. Church held very interesting exercises on Sunday. Rev. Jas. Chestnut delivered an excellent address. Rev. W.

The Orphans' Cantata Company rendered very successfully "Esther, the Beautiful Queen," on Sunday night at Providence Baptist Church, Rev. Aquilla Sayles, pastor. A large audience was present and enjoyed the richly displayed number of the company. The society is also preparing to render "Paul," a sacred cantata, for engagements, see Mr. Jas. L. Turner, 2307 P St., the agent. The Washington Bee can be purchased at 2307 P St., where an agent will be pleased to take your subscription, and at Dr. Davis' drug store. The Pastorial Club and Pastorial Aid Committee of the Christian Endeavor Society of the First Baptist Church, gave a Penny Fair entertainment on Tuesday, November 24. which was largely attended and a financial success.

Revenue Collector Anderson Issues Notice Defining Bankers’ Duties in| Matter. a 4 New York, Nov. 23. With but one week for the bankers of this revenue collection district to make the tax returns demanded by the government, and with the pro- visions of the new law barely under- stood Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue for the second dis- trict, today sent out .the following notice defining the bankers’ duties in connection with the tax: “Owing to the numerous inquiries received at this office from bankers relative to the proper preparation of form 437—bankers’ return of special war tax—the following instructions are issued: . “1, Bankers are required to make, under oath, returns in duplicate on form 437—which can be secured from the collector of internal revenue— governing the tax period from Nov. 1, 1914, to June 30, 1915, and have the same in the collector’s hands before the close, of the month of November. Failure to do so will cause a 50 per cent penalty to attach. “2. In determining the amount of taxable capital—including surplus and undivided profits—for the present fiscal year, the operations of the bank for the period between July 1, 1913, aoe oe and June 30, 1914, will be taken as the bases. Where the items of capi- tal, surplus and undivided profits fluctuate the same will be averaged; and when such averages are made a separaté sheet showing how this ay- erage is arrived at should be attach- ed to each return. “2, As the tax begins on Nov. 1, eight ‘months only of the present fis- cal years remain; the tax for which period will be ¢ight-twelfths, of two- thirds of what would be due for the entire year, For convenience the tax is computed on two-thirds’ of the to- tal of capital; surplus and undivided profits in even thousands. For ex- ample: 7 “Capital, $25,000; surplus, $12,500; undivided profits, $5,909. Total, $43,- A409. Amount computed for period from Nov. 1 to June 30, 1915, two- thirds of $43,000, $28,666.66. Amount of tax at $1 for each $1,000, $28.67. — “3, Returns in duplicate, properly ‘sworn to in person before ‘an ‘officer authorized to administer oaths—whc ‘must attach his seal thereto must be forwarded to the collector of the dis. ‘trict within which bank is located.’ , Davent Maatine.

Editor, The Bee: The meeting held.in the Andrew Rankin chapel of Howard University Monday evening under the auspices of the University Chapter of the Na- tional Association for the Advance- ment of Colored People was notable and inspiring. The addresses of Mrs, Butler_R. Wilson, of Boston, and of Prof. Joel E, Spingarn, chairman of the executive committee, were of the highest order. Prof. Spingarn is greatly honored and respected by large numbers of Washingtor people. Mrs. Wilson, who before marriage was Miss “Tan” Evans. was not known to so many of the audience as a finished and accomplished public speaker. For that reason her address was 2 most pleasing surprise to many. It spoke the eloquent, educated wo- man consecrated to a righteous cause. The race has only a few women who are known as public speakers. I have heard all of them, and in matter and manner, in the marshalling of facts and the development of argu- ments, in simplicity and elegance of diction and charm of personality, and in zeal and devotion to this cause, she stands alone. Mrs. Wilson has spoken for the N. A. A. C P. in Newport and Provi- dence, Rhode Island; in Orange, New, Jersey, in Wilmington, Delaware, and in Harrisburg and Pittsburg, Pa. She is the mother of a good-sized | family of growing children, and yet finds time to give to the cause “that needs issistance” L. M, HERSHAW. realize their imperative duty to coming generations in this respect and start an educational campaign which will result into a well equipped seminary, or effect arrangements whereby such an institution, manned by a strong faculty of Baptist scholars, maintained and supported by Baptists, shall be federated with the colleges of Howard University—separate and distinct from the other colleges of the university, as is the law college from the medical, and having a course of study similar to and comparable with Newton or Crozier, open especially to Baptist young men preparing for the ministry, or young men of other persuasions, if they desire to attend. But you may say that the building of a Baptist Seminary in Washington or grouping it with the colleges of Howard is as unreasonable as visionary. I do not believe it is. In fact, I know if the Baptists were together and should unitedly undertake either to build and maintain such an institution or to group it with the colleges of Howard, provided the authorities would agree to it, it would be done. The idea that one church is as good as another, which seems to be popular in some places, is, I believe, a mistake. The church that comes nearest the New Testament model is the best, whatever name it may hear, and, as I see it, the Baptist Church comes nearest to the teachings of Christ and His Apostles; therefore, it is the best. It stands for a converted membership. Regeneration with us is an important fact and no Baptist Church would think of accepting a person for membership, however distinguished, able, learned or influential, except upon evidence of faith in Jesus Christ We still adhere to and practice the teachings of Christ, both as to the condition of membership and form of church government, which, of course, is purely democratic. A great Baptist school at the Capital of the Nation, making a specialty of the Baptist doctrines and history, as well as the broadest scholarship and culture, is, I think, then, very necessary. I have in mind a seminary of high grade which would attract the brightest minds and also place the denomination in a more favorable light in regard to its educational policy. Many of the Southern States are well in advance of us along this line. There are several schools throughout the country controlled by Baptists. The Negro Baptists of North Carolina, raised last year for educational purposes about fifteen thousand dollars. The young Baptists are, taught self-help and denominational pride. They do not consider the church an embodiment of ignorance and superstition, but a church of the classes as well as of the masses. Our young men should be trained so as to help all classes, feed the sheep and the lambs as well, benefit the learned and the unlearned; lift up Christ, lift up the people. Next to the doctrines of our church, doctrines born in the bosom of the Messiah or the Christ of God and ratified and sustained by His own blood and defended through the ages by martyrs and saints, in my opinion, is Christian education. Rev. Dr. E.-B. Pollard, of Crozier Seminary, truly says: "The logic of our position as Baptists forces us to favor education, for the same reason that in a republican form of government public schools are imperative. We must as truly educate the membership who are to govern the churches as the masses who are to manage the state. A democracy in both church and state demands that the multitudes be educated. Baptists believe in the value of the individual; hence the individuals shall be brought up to his best value. This can be done only through education. And yet, strangely enough, many-of our Baptist forefathers were very suspicious of education. They seem to see in education a possible foe to spirituality, for they often observe that intelligence is too often not found with devout and spiritually minded people. The obstacle among Baptists today is not suspicion of education, but indifference to it. There are fewer of our Baptist boys and girls in schools of higher learning than from any other denomination, in proportion to our membership. This should not be so, unless we have decided to take and to hold forever a minor place in the work of the world and in efficiency for service." The splits and contentions among us are largely due to the lack of training on the part of the masses. Hence let us insist on general education and whenever possible have our young men and women to attend our own schools, especially those preparing for the ministry. Dr. William L. Poteat says in reference to white Baptist schools: "We hold these denominational academies in high esteem. They have charge of our boys and girls during the adolescent period of their personal development, when they set up, their life standards and ideals, make their life choices, and the great ventures of imagination and faith which we call conversion. And so it turns out that usually under the direct instruction and personal guidance which they have in these schools the boys and girls come to our Baptist Colleges already members of the church and in the majority of cases having made their decision of the question of a life vocation. The colleges for men and women complete the denominational provision for education." Stodard Baptist Home. Of all the objects in which we are concerned and which we are now called upon to support, the one claiming our especial attention at this time is the Stoddard Baptist Old Folks Home. There can be no question as to the needs of such an institution. The old members of our churches who have labored and sacrificed in the early days of our churches, should now in their old days, "When they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fear shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets," be supported in a way becoming a great denomination. It is regrettable that any controversy should arise at this time when the erection of a suitable building for their comfort should be uppermost in our minds, but with ill-will toward no one and with faith in God, and an eye single to His glory, let us shoulder the responsibility and erect an institution which will be a credit to our numbers and a glory to the Christ of God, Who shall say in the morning, when all nations shall be gathered around the throne of His glory. "Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you, from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, ye took me in; naked, and ye clothed me. I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me." Let us sacrifice for them who sacrificed for us. God has doubtless left these old saints here to test our generosity, and to develop our patience. If we allow them to suffer we shall be condemned. So let us bestir ourselves for the upbuilding and maintenance of our Home for the Aged and Infirm. God has given us as a denomination more of them to care for and has also given us greater resources. Our obligation therefore is apparent. Brethren, if we do not arise to the exigency of the occasion and do our whole duty as the good Lord gives us strength and wisdom to see and do. He will raise up other men who will carry the work on to success. Home and Foreign Missions. Our association should do more for missions, home and foreign. Great churches, scholarly pastors enjoying fair salaries—not exorbitant—but fair compensation for services rendered, should do more for the destitute at home and abroad. Let us plan for and do mission work in a definite way. Give systematically to missions. A church which fails in this essential fails to be a Missionary Baptist Church. The church that is not saving men and women from hell and saving them to service is merely a church in name. We here in Washington should support one or more workers on the foreign field or contribute very largely to their support. Wake up, brother, wake up; let us help send the gospel to the heathen. Big churches in Washington, big in number, big in name, big in meeting places and appointments, big in personal interests and personal accomplishments. "Uplift the banner! heathen lands Shall see from far the glorious sight. And nations gathering at the call, Their spirits kindle in its light. Uplift the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; Our glory only in the cross. Our only hope the crucified." The large churches, free of debts, are to be congratulated, but God wants you to extend your borders—"Lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes." Be more of an organism than organization. Reproduce and multiply yourselves. Adopt some struggling small church, well located and having good cause for existence and make it self-supporting, thus extending the kingdom of Christ. A good method of church extension this. Keep the people of the Lord busy in His vineyard. Idle brain is the devil's workshop and hands not employed in God's work are in danger of being employed in the devil's. A working people find little time for nagging, grumbling and adverse criticisms, for nagging the pastors and nagging each other. Our Church Relation to the Body Politic. It is true that our work is spiritual and that under no conditions should we neglect the spiritual side, bearing always in mind that "It is not by might nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord," but we are a part, and an important part, of the American people. We are deeply interested in our traditions and institutions. We have contributed materially to their grandeur and splendor. We are concerned in the welfare of the human race, for, in our opinion, there is but one race and that is the human race, made of one blood by one God whose offsprings we are. On account of our position in this country, however, we are driven to concern ourselves particularly about our own people, who are loyal to the country and its best interests, but are denied the privileges, immunities and emoluments to which we are justly entitled. As a race of people subjected to peculiar burdens, we must just simply fight it out, contend for fair play in the race of life. We ask no favors, we beg no indulgences, but simply crave equal rights, the enjoyment of the manhood rights which God ordains that men should enjoy. Certainly the odds are against us and segregation in the National Capital, under the nose of the President of the United States, is practiced with high hand, still I am pessimistic and believe God will overrule in our favor just as He did in the case of slavery. Of course we are impatient and want it done at once, but the "mills of the gods grind slowly but exceedingly fine." When the President designated the first Sunday in October as a day of prayer for peace, I wondered at the time if it occurred to him that a nation guilty of the blood of her fellowmen was not in any condition to pray effectual—prayers—burning at the stake their neighbors and praying God to stop other nations from killing each other. "O, consistency, thou art a jewel." As ministers of the gospel of Christ, praying to the Heavenly Father to bring peace among waring nations and at the same time objecting to me uniting with them in the same place of worship in prayer to the same God, Who is Father over all. Away with such hypocrisy! If the American nation is to be a Christian nation in fact and in truth and escape the calamities now being visited upon the European nations, it must learn to accord equal The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

A democratic government owes and should grant to each of her citizens equality of political and civil rights. The cause of temperance is making rapid progress throughout the country, as shown in the large majorities cast against the sale of intoxicating drinks. Several states are in the dry column. Whether less whiskey is consumed or not, it shows that public opinion is growing against the licensed saloon. The reduction of the number of saloons in this city offers hope to the Anti-Saloon League advocates. All church people should be opposed to the liquor traffic. You should constantly and untimely fight the hydra-headed, rapacious and nefarious monster. From a paper read before the Columbia Association of Baptist Churches, I quote the following: "From the United States Census Reports we gather that the population of the United States and outlying provinces is fixed at 100,000,000 round numbers." In the United States and said provinces the liquor consumed annually per capita is estimated at two and a half billions of dollars, 215,000 saloons are responsible for three deaths to each saloon. The productive wealth of the United States is estimated at $32,000,000. The estimated loss to the United States caused by alcoholic traffic, 21 per cent, or $8,500,000. Estimated value of alcohol consumed annually $2,000,000,000. Pauperism, jails, immorality, disease, crime, and court expense, $2,000,000,000, or a total loss to the country of more than twelve billions and a half of dollars annually exceeding the total expenditure of four years of our late war between the states by nine billions of dollars. There are 20,000,000 of tipplers, 4,000,000 of heavy drinkers, and 1,000,000 of confirmed drunkards, or a total of 25,000,000 of the population of the United States who are on the road to a drunkard's grave Insurance statistics inform us that out of every 62,000 of our population, 1,000 die annually from the effects of alcohol; and as we contemplate the awful result of this traffic in human life, the crimes, pauperism, inbecility, lust, passion, idleness, court expenses, laxity in our morals, divorce decrees, ails, penitentiaries, and asylums, do we realize that the ranks of this great army of lost souls are recruited from our young men and young women, our girls and boys, one-half of whom commence drinking before they are twenty-one years of age, and one-third of whom before the age of sixteen. In 1,000 deaths it is known that 500 died from all causes except alcohol, 440 died from the effects of alcoholic drinking." Finally, my brethren, let us wield the old Jerusalem blade, the gospel of Jesus Christ is destined to bring about peace. The fact that the clash of great armies has been unprecedentedly terrific; that millions of men are engaged in slaughtering each other, thousands of refugees driven helpless and penniless from their hones, women outraged, babies hayoneted, large cities bombarded, without a moment's warning from the skies; in fine, all the horrors of war in the darkest ages reproduced by a Christian nation, does not in the least invalidate the prophecy that the gospel of Christ will beget universal peace. Even the European War, in my opinion, will to some extent prepare for the second advent of Christ as did the heathen culture and the Alexandrian wars for the spread of the gospel of peace in its infancy. The time is sure to come when the Lord "Shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people and they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Brethren, let us continue to preach the gospel, the whole gospel—not catering to men and women, but declaring the whole counsel of God. Let us preach less theology and more Christ; less sensationalism and more crossism; more God, the Father of all, and less "filthy lucre"; more practicality; more common sense and less rhetorical theorems and conjectualities; more mutuality and less individuality; more sincerity and love among pastors and less selfishness. false-heartedness and shameful rivalry; more "ips touched" with the red hot coals from God's altar and less House & Herrmann Household Furniture of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

False Theology Driving Many Away From God—Predicted Hour of Trial Upon the Whole World—Thousands Falling Into Infidelity—Correct Under- standing of Bible Only Remedy. Philadelphia. Nov. 29. - Pastor Russell's theme for today was based upon the text. That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to / comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of PASTOR RUSSAL Christ, which possess knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God" (Ephes. 3:17 Bla. he said in parts. The word Love is as warning and cheering correspondingly as the words Hatred and Selfishness are cold and discouraging. The ones who all their lives have been immersed in a world of selfish frigidity, the real quality of the word Love is disallowed disputed, claimed not to exist. Nevertheless, in every human being there is a craving for love, pure and sincere, even though expected never to be found. For the majority inevitable reverses and failures take the place of anticipated successes. However strong, courageous, or even brutally fierce has been the warrior in the battle for bread, fame and glory, he craves ultimately. In his partial or complete disaster, the love which he has neither shown to others nor ever really expected that others would show to him. Whether he succumbs to financial disaster, to immorality, to narcotic stimulants or to disease—it matters not which—the bulm of Gilead for the wounded soul is Love. Sometimes this love comes from the partner of life—the wife or the husband; sometimes from parents or children, sisters or brothers. Thank God for these sometimes, and for the evince they afford us of some measure the image of God in humanity! But as in a vast majority of cases the flure, the disaster suffered, not only matters hope, but cools friendship and astroys the semblances of love, which are merely emotional or perfunctory admiration. At such a time the message of the Love of God and Christ is a balm indeed. If it comes to theounded and discouraged one It is our thought that particularly at this time such discouragement is being borne in upon large numbers of the human family. With the opening of the year many properly made resolutions to themselves, or to their friends or to the Lord, that they would live more noble lives, that they would be loyal to their Creator, to their companions, to themselves and to all of their interests and obligations. But as the year slipped away, it has brought trials, testings, and to many defeat and discouragement. "Come, Weary and Heavy-Laden." Now is the opportune moment to these discouraged ones to hear the voice of Him that speaketh from Heaven, telling them of His love. His sympathy and His willingness to aid all who will accept His assistance. Hearkening obediently to His voice, such may change the hour of defeat to the hour of victory by the Lord's assisting grace; just as, many a time in earthly warfare, victory has been wrested from defeat by the arrival of reinforcements at the opportune moment. The moment of discourage, of loss of confidence in earthly progress, and of hopeless despair, is the opportune moment for the discouraged one to recognize his need of the Savior, to cry unto Him and forthwith to receive the reinforcements from Him who has declared, "My strength is made perfect in your weakness"; and again, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly of heart; and ye shall find rest unto your soul." But it requires faith to believe in a Savior whom we have never seen, with whom we have not been acquainted, and especially One who has been so frequently misrepresented to us as having prepared from before the foundation of the world for our eternal torment. How can we assure ourselves of His Love? How may we know that He is not the cruel, One that has been pictured to us? How may we know that He is a loving, generous, kind faithful Friend—a God who delighteth not in our trouble, who rejoiceth us in infinity, who rejoiceth not in eternally tormenting His creatures, nor even in destroying them eternally in the Second Death; but, conversely, in doing us good, in exhibiting towards all who will receive it His loving kindness and tender mercy, enabling them more and more, in the language of our text, to appreciate the height, the length, the breadth and the depth of His Love—a God who eventually will have all men saved (recovered) and brought to a knowledge of the Truth, to obedience and character development, to life everlasting in the Paradise of God? We see the difficulty of such; and it cries aloud to those of us who have learned the way of the Lord more perfectly, to let our light shine, to let all the world who are not completely blinded by the Adversary see the true character of our God and of the Son of God, to let them see the Scriptural presentation of the love, the mercy and the abundant provision arranged for in the Divine Purpose. What the world needs is to get over its fright respecting the Lord and the future, and to see the Love of God and His gracious provision in Christ. This alone will win the heart, in the proper sense of the word. Fear may bring torment, but only the Truth can sane tify and happily-fulfill our Redeemer's prayer. "Sanctify them through Thy Truth; Thy Word is Truth." The fright that is upon the world came from the Dark Ages and is echoed by all the creeds of orthodoxy, breeding in the hearts of men distrust, hatred of God and of the Bible, which is falsely accredited with being the fountain from which have been drawn these brackish waters of tradition represented by the creeds. It is time that every true Christian should take his stand for the right, the Truth, for the Word of God, for the exposition of the falsehoods which have slandered the Almighty Character, which have been numbed the zeal of the saints, and which have repelled the weary and heavy-laden as they looked for relief and balm in the direction of their Creator. Is it not time that all ministers of the Gospel announced and manifested their freedom from the creedal mis-statements of the Divine character and purpose, which in their hearts they have rejected long ago? It is well that all such should lift up their voice like a trumpet, and give no uncertain sound to the masses of the grouning creation, who are awakening and are hungering and thirsting for the Bread and the Water of Life, which alone can satisfy their longings. Bible Study the Great Need. This is the Message which we bear to the troubled and discouraged ones. Until they have time to take up with us a thorough study of the Scriptures and demonstrate the fact to themselves, they must take our word for it that the Justice Wisdom, Love and Power of God are all enlisted on behalf of Adam and his race to save us from our sins and from the dead and dying condition in which we find ourselves, mentally, morally and physically. Nor should it be very difficult to exercise this degree of faith. The Scriptures declare, "He that cometh unto God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6). This involves a faith in the Justice of God that, having invited us, He will not apurn us when we respond to His call. Moreover, it should appeal to every reasonable mind that God should be just and loving towards all. The thought of an angry, vindictive, torture-loving Creator should be rejected instantly by every rational mind as being ungodlike, demoniac. No doubt this would have been so bad it not been that the misconception on the subject, which the Apostle calls the "doctrines of devills," was imposed upon our minds from our very earliest childhood, and often by those whom we properly loved and whose plenty we reverenced, but who were themselves deceived. It is high time that more reverential, more loving, theological views were seen by all mankind. It is the lack of this true theology that is driving many away from the Lord and His Word into vain philosophies and "science falsely so-called" Higher Criticism, Christian Science, Evolution, Theosophy, etc. etc. 1 Timothy 6:20 The world has discovered that the bonds of ignorance and superstition have been holding it for centuries, and that its eyes of understanding have so long been covered that now they blink in the dazzling light of the dawning Millennial Day. At one bound the so-called scientific world has left God's Word and leaped into a refined agnosticism, which professes a faith not possessed. The middle and the lower classes are ever ready to follow their leaders; this means, very shortly, what the Scriptures predict—a Time of Trouble such as was not since there was a nation' a social, religious, financial, political upheaval- anarchy. Thank God for the assurances of His Word that the spasm will be a brief one! "A short work will the Lord make with the earth." Everything has been prepared for the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom upon the tuils of present systems. It is folly to think of holding the people back, of bandaging the eyes of their understanding, and of enslaying them again with ignorance and superstition. Those who are thus endowing to meet the situation show clearly that they do not understand it. The tidal wave of liberty of mind can no more be repressed than can the ocean tide be stayed with a broom: There is just one remedy—the correct understanding of the Bible teachings. Whoever falls to receive the Truth falls of everything with respect to the present life. This statement applies not only to the world in general, but also to the entire Church of Christ. The hour of trial predicted to come upon the whole world is now upon us; and the Apostle Peter's declaration is that it must begin with the Church—the House of God. (1 Peter 4:17.) The statement of the Prophet is that one thousand will fall to one that will stand—"A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come high thee." (Psalm 91:7.) St. Paul's exhortation respecting the same time of trial is, "Take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the Eril Day, and having done all, to stand." (Ephesians 6:11-13.) Who shall be able to stand? is the question. The Measurements of Love Divine. We are not able to tell the wonderful measurements of God's Love—nor can others tell them. Indeed, as the Apostle suggests, the privilege of appreciating these measurements is granted only to the saints, and to these in proportion to their saintliness. Thus a babe in Christ, though beloved of the Lord and carefully cherished, cannot comprehend these measurements of the Divine character, because he is only an infantile saint. When first he believed in the Lord, he saw something of Divine Love and Mercy, which influenced him, drew him to the exercise of faith and the re-nouncement of sin. From the standpoint of Justification by Faith, he could see more of the Lord and could appreciate more the measurements of Divine greatness. Then, called and appreciating the call, he bowed his heart be fore the Lord and made a full surrender to Him in response to the invitation. "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."—Rom. 12:1. Having thus done all in his power and having laid himself at the Lord's feet, he received the begetting of the Holy Spirit, not with outward show or demonstration, but with inward grace and enlightenment of the eyes of his understanding. From this new stand point of consecration and harmony with the Divine will, he began to see more of the length, more of the breadth, more of the height, more of the depth of God's Love. If he has lived up to his privileges faithfully, he has been growing hourly, daily, monthly, yearly—growing in grace, in knowledge. In ability to see these measures of the Divine character Note that this is the very expression of our text and context: The reception of Christ into our hearts by faith brought, as a rule, mighty strengthening by His Spirit in the inner man—to the new nature. As this Spirit of Christ dwelt, or resided, in our hearts by faith, it tended to root us and to ground us in His character-likeness which is the same as that of His Father—Love. This experience enables us to comprehend with all saints these measurements of our Creator's character as others cannot appreciate them. Yet, as the Apostle says, even we who now know only in part shall, after ex perlingence the resurrection change from earthly to Heavenly nature, see our Lord as He is, and shall know as we are known. How grand will be this consummation: "Filled With the Fulness of God." So in our text, which applies to the present life, the Apostle declares that even the saints cannot know the Love of Christ; for it passes knowledge. He then gives a further intimation of how this keen appreciation of the glorious character of God comes to His consecrated ones—by their being "filled with all the fulness of God." This means not only the announcement of sin, not only faith in the Lord as our Redeemer, not only concession to Him, but also a filling with His Spirit. His mind His disposition. This, as already stated, is a gradual work "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord." The Spirit of the Lord is one of bona- ness—not only of separateness from sin, but of opposition to it; not only of sympathy with righteousness, but of activity on its behalf; not only of putting away from our hearts every sympathy with the unfruitful works of darkness, but also of the receiving of that spirit which condenses them by daily life and a word fitly spoken; not only by an appreciation of the fruits and graces of God's Spirit—neckness gentleness, longsuffering, brotherly kindness, love—but so great an appreciation of them as more and more in- duces us to stamp these gracious char acteristics of Divinity upon our own thoughts, words and deeds. Not only did the great Apostle Paul preach Christ and shun not to declare the whole counsel of God, but he never once referred to eternal torment or to anything alien to it—and his writings constitute more than one-half of the New Testament Scriptures! The severest penalty that he ever declared is that of everlasting destruction—the Second Death from which there is no hope of deliverance. Undoubtedly he was right in this course. On the contrary, he preached and wrote not only about the length and breadth and height and depth of the love of Christ but in the context he tells us that he prayed for the Church, that they might be able to attain such and more of the Love of God. Undoubtedly this is the great need of the Church today. Let us all pray not only for ourselves, but also for each other, a wider opening of the eyes of our understanding and a fuller comprehension of the length, the breadth, the height and the depth of the Love of God in Christ From this attainment come our blessing and also the world's blessing. The light from the great Sun of Righteousness, which shortly is to flood the world, will be "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God"—of Divine Mercy and Love. "Jesus, my Lord, Thou art my life. My rest in labor, strength in strife; Thy love begets my love of Thee; Thy fulness that which filleth me. "Mine effort vain, my weakness learned, Weary, from self to Christ I turned. Content to let His fulness be An unbought fulness unto me. "Life's heavenly secret was revealed— In Christ all riches are concealed. We try and we ask; we ask, He gives, And in His rest our spirit lives." WIFE IS EYES FOR BLIND LAWMAKER Mrs. Thomas D. Schall Ran Her Husband's Campaign. BIG AID IN HIS ELECTION Ran His Automobile to 200 Towns and Acted as Personal and Political Guide—Will Now Go to Washington as Congressman's Secretary—His Oratory Is Fascinating. Minneapolis, Minu.—One of the new Minnesota congressmen will see public affairs through a woman's eyes. This is Thomas D. Schall, a blind lawyer, who enjoys the distinction of being the first representative elected to congress from the newly created Tenth Minnesota district. Mrs. Schall was the political and personal guide of her husband in the campaign, driving his automobile to the 200 towns where he spoke during the campaign. She will go to Washington with him as his private secretary. "I am sure Mr. Schall will make a great success in congress," said Mrs. Schall. "His speaking ability and convincing arguments will win his prestige. Sympathy for his blindness may PETER H. THOMAS D. SCHALL have won him respectful attention in the campaign, but it was his convincing oratory that got votes. "I know his oratory is fascinating because"-the little woman hesitated and blushed and then added, "because it won me." Mr Schall while studying at the University of Minnesota won the northern oratorical contest, securing honors for Minnesota for the first time against seven other states. But his oratory won him more than honor. It won him the admiration of Margaret Huntley, a Minneapolis girl then in her junior college year. Next day they were introduced and two years later were married, and they have been married twelve years. He is thirty-seven, and she is thirty-five Seven years ago while lighting a cigar with an electric lighter Mr. Schall received a shock that destroyed his sight. Then the wife had to become his eyes. She went into his law office, read his books to him, wrote his letters and guided his physical as well as his mental footsteps. Then came the determination to strive for congress. Mr. Schall is a Progressive, and the territory of the new district is said to be normally Republican by 10,000. To defeat a Republican and Democrat in this field was the task undertaken by Mr. Schall and his wife. He went into the campaign the first week alone. It ended with him almost exhausted and discouraged His wife then put her neck in the po ltical yoke. She sat at the wheel of his automobile and guided his steps. She prepared his meals. She attended smokers and dinners with him Wherever he went his wife was by his side. The result was told in a flattering plurality. And Mrs Schall modestly tried to disclaim credit for her share in the success, but her husband insists: "Through her I must see the world. She is the light of my life." THIS SQUASH IS A WHALE. That Is Its Name, and It Weighs Forty-two Pounds. Battle Creek. Mich.-One of the vegetables that weren't sold at the city market was a huge squash of the "whale" variety weighing forty-two pounds and measuring nearly a yard long and twenty-nine inches in circumference. The mammoth squash was exhibited by Frank Imus, who owns a farm in Battle Creek township, three quarters of a mile west of Battle Creek. The squash is "Whale" by name and whale by nature. Mr. Imus has other squashes that weigh as much as 100 pounds, but none measures as long as the yard long one. The "Whale" squash is better for ples than for use as a vegetable, though it is not as watery as the regular ple pumpkin Its flesh is golden, and the shell is nearly as hard as the Hubbard squash The vines bear heavily, many of them having several large squashes on the same vine.

THE REGENERATION OF CHURCH AND WORLD WHERE FATHER ADAM FAILED Why Regeneration Is Necessary—Why It Began at the First Advent and Not Sooner—Why the Limitations of the Present Age—The Low and Narrow Gate—The Narrow and Rough Pathway—Why Different Kind of Regeneration During the Millennium—Why the World Will Have an Easier Pathway Up to Life Everlasting Than Is Now Granted the Church. What and Why the Differences Between the Two Regenerations.

His text was "Marvel not that I said un- to thee. Ye must New York City, Nov. 1. - Pastor Russell, at New York City Temple took for his subject "The Regeneration of the church and the Regeneration of the World. What are They? Why Important?" His text was, "Marvel not that I said unto thee. Ye must be born again" (John 3:7) He said in part: In the past many of us have studied the Bible in a very careless manner, neglecting to give to its inspired words the consideration and respect they deserve. In many cases, the original thought has been utterly lost because of some fanciful interpretation. Consequently very few Christian people have any concrete idea of the meaning of our text, and of other Bible statements respecting the future regeneration of the world. Regeneration, or a second birth, is absolutely necessary if we would attain everlasting life. The fault lies not with our Creator, that He made us incomplete; for, as the Bible declares, "all His work is perfect." The fault is chargeable to sin. "By one man's disobedience sin entered into the world, and death as the result of sin; so death passed upon all men, because all are sinners." This sentence of death upon Father Adam bindered him from giving to his children the perfection of life in which he was created. His entire race has been born into the world for six thousand years under a death sentence, or curse. God cannot alter that sentence. The forfeited life cannot be prolonged; the sentence of death cannot be set aside; the Supreme Judge of the Universe cannot for any reason declare that He erred in His condemnation of our race. He cannot set aside His own decision. But God could provide for the recuperating of Adam and his race. To generate, as all know, signifies to bring into life. Adam failed to generate a race to life; he merely generated a great race of thousands of millions possessed of only a spark of life—a dying race. The Divine Providence is that our Lord Jesus left the glory of the Heavenly condition and became a man for the purpose of ransoming, or redeeming. Adam and his race, which shared his condemnation. The record is that this sacrificed life laid down by Jesus is sufficient as a cancellation of all Adamic sin. On the basis of that sacrifice, and in the carrying out of the Heavenly Father's Program, Jesus was raised from the dead "a quickening Spirit," a life-giving Personage, with a glory far higher than that which He had when He came into the world. "Him hath God highly exalted, and given Him a name which is above every name"—Philippians 2:9. The glorified Jesus is Scripturally termed the Second Adam, the Life-Giver or Regenerator, and also the Everlasting Father—that is, the Father who gives everlasting life. The time for the giving of life to the world by this great Second Adam, whom God hath appointed, is to be the thousand years of His Messianic Religion. Throughout the Millennium, it will be the work of Christ Jesus, as the glorified Second Adam, to regenerate the first Adam and all his race. The regenerating influences will begin with their awakening from the sleep of death, in harmony with the Master's declaration. "The hour is coming in which all that are in their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man, and come forth."—John 5:28, 29. The Regeneration of the World. The coming forth from the tomb will be the beginning of the regenerative work, but not by any means its completion. It will be merely a preparatory work. The awakened sleepers will be in the same condition of mind that they were in when they fell asleep—in a very similar condition to those who will be living on the earth at that time. Before any of them can be regenerated, they must be brought to a knowledge of the Truth. Their eyes and their ears of understanding must be opened. The Scriptures assure us that this will be accomplished. "Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped." (Isaiah 35:5). "The earth shall be full of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea."—Habakkuk 2:14; Isaiah 11:9. The news of God's Love and of the possibilities of return to His favor through the atoning work of Jesus being clearly demonstrated to all, each will have the opportunity of deciding for himself whether or not he desires to return to human perfection and the blessed possibilities of everlasting life. To do so, he must be begotten again by the Life-Giver; and the Life-Giver will beget again only those who desire the new life. Wilful rejectors of the privilege, we are assured, will die the Second Death; while those who accept the Savior's proposals will come under helpful and disciplinary experiences which will gradually lift them up, mentally, morally and physically, to perfection—to all that was lost for them in Father Adam's disobedience and its penalty, and all that was regained for them by the obedience of Jesus and the Divine arrangement of His Messianic Kingdom for the regeneration of the world. The words beget, born and regenerated or born again, associate themselves in our minds with our natural birth; but we are not to expect, as Nicodemus queried, that any would again be born as an infant from a mother. The begetting to a new birth will be in the mind—a covenant relationship with the Life-Giver. The Church the Second Eve. Nevertheless, there is a beautiful analogy, complete in every feature; for while Father Adam was designed to be the life-giver, or father, or generator of the race, Mother Eve was designed to be its nourisher, care-taker and instructor, to bring the race up to complete development. So while Jesus is the Life-Giver in the sense that He gave His own life as a Ransom-price for Adam, it is also a part of the Divine Program that there should be not only a Second Adam, but also a Second Eve. The world will need not only the start of the new life during the Millennium, but also the care and nourishment necessary for their development and uplift—for restitution to perfection. God's provision is that the Church, called especially for the purpose and especially qualified for it during this Gospel Age, shall be the Antlantic Eve—the Mother of the world—the care-takers, nourisher, supervisors, in respect to all regenerated, or rebegotten, by the Life-Giver Jesus. What a beautiful prospect of collaboration with the Savior in His great work of rescuing Adam and his race from the effects of Adamule sin and the death sentence! The Divine picture is very complete. While Adam was alone he did not become a father. God caused him to fall into a deep sleep, and from his side took Mother Eve to be his bride, his co-laborer, his joint-heir in his inheritance, and his assistant in the work of generating the human family. So our Lord Jesus has not yet become a father. But He has gone into the deep sleep of death. His side has been wounded, and the first result is the gradual development, during the past eighteen centuries, of a Bride class. As Jesus passed from the human condition to the spiritual before He could be ready to be the Second Adam, so the Church class, as the New Creation, must pass from the human condition to the spirit condition, and must share in the First Resurrection, before she can fulfill her part in God's great Plan as the Second Eve In view of this work that God has outlined for His Son and for the Church, is it any wonder that He should consider it necessary to give us lessons and tests in faith, loyalty and obedience? Is it any wonder, in view of the work which He has for us to do for mankind, that He declares that as the Redeemer Himself was given deep experiences in suffering, in order to be a merciful and faithful High Priest in the things of God in relation to humanity, so the Church, His Bride, members of His Body, must share these experiences? When we come to understand the High Calling of God to the Church and the great work that is yet to be accomplished for and in the world of mankind, we are amazed? The Church's Regeneration Different. It was not Jehovah's program for His Son that he should change to human nature permanently. On the contrary, we are distinctly told that the Logos took the form of a servant for the suffering of death, and not for any other purpose. This purpose having been accomplished, the Father raised Him up by His own Power to spirit nature and glory—"where He was before," but to a still higher station on the spirit plane—"far above angels, principalities and powers, and every name that is named." This meant a regeneration, or second birth, for Jesus; for "flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom."—1 Cor. 15:50. Our Savior exchanged His spirit condition, or nature, for the human, but He could not exchange the human nature for the spiritual; else there would have been no object served in His humiliation. His human life was to be given up sacrificially as the Redemption-price for Adam's life and, therefore, as the Redemption-price of the whole world, since all lost life through Adam's disobedience. The application of the Master's sacrificed life would have left Him without any life-rights as a man, but God provided for His regeneration; that is to say, for His re-birth. The sacrifice of Himself as a human being was made when Jesus was thirty years of age, and was symbolized by His immersion; and immediately the Father begat Him again, not to be a human being, but a spirit being. He was begotten of the Holy Spirit, which descended upon Him in a form like a dove. For three and a half years Jesus, as a New Creature, spirit-begotten, used His flesh body, consecrated to death, having no other. In it, "He was tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin"; and having demonstrated His loyalty to God, even unto death at the Calvary, the Father rals ed Him from the dead on the third day—not a man, but a New Creature. In other words, Jesus experienced the same transformation that the Apostle mentioned, saying, "It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power; it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory; it is sown an animal body; it is raised a spiritual body." After His resurrection, Jesus illustrated the lesson given to Nicodemus, of which our text is a part. He could, and did, come and go like the wind. Some seven times during the forty days, He appeared for brief intervals for the instruction of His disciples, just as angels have done. Later, He ascended up on High. "Now the Lord is that Spirit"—"the Second Adam."—2 Corinthians 3:17:1 Corinthians 15:45, 47. The Bible tells us that God from the very beginning had foreknown that Jesus would accomplish this work and become the Father of Adam and his race by regeneration; and the Apostle assures us that God foreknew also the Church as the Bride of Christ and His Joint-heir in His Kingdom. And Jesus said to some of the earliest members of the Church class. "In the regeneration [In the Millennium] * * * ye shall sit upon thrones." (Matthew 19:23). Elsewhere He declared, "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me In My Throne."—Rev. 3:21. The Father purposed that the Bride class should be selected from amongst the members of the fallen race, and should be prepared for their work of future glory before the world's would commence. He purposed also that this Bride class should have a change of nature similar to that which Jesus experienced—it would begin with them as with Him, at the time of consecration and spirit-begetting, and culminate with them as with Him, in the resurrection change. Thus the Church has the promise that she shall be like her Lord, see Him as He Is, and share His glory. (1 John 3:2; Romans 8:17.) St. Peter, speaking of the call of the Church, declared that God gave unto this class "exceeding great and precious promises"—that by these promises working in their consecrated hearts to will and to do God's good pleasure, this class might become "partakers of the Divine Nature."—2 Peter 1:4. "Life and Immortality Brought to Light." It is manifest that this begetting of the Church to a change of nature is very different from the begetting provided for the world—regeneration, or re-begetting, to the human nature which Adam lost, but which Christ redeemed for the world. So also we have noted that the Church has a different Father. Jesus is not the Father, or Life-Giver, of this Divine life. He did not redeem it or secure it for anybody. He redeemed human nature and secured the right to regenerate the world to human nature. The Church's begetting, or regeneration, is by the Heavenly Father Himself; as the Scriptures distinctly say, "The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ hath begotten us." (1 Peter 1:3). He alone can give this Divine Nature. This does not signify that the Church is not indebted to her Redeemer; for the Scriptures distinctly state that without Him we could do nothing; that "by His stripes we are healed"; and that before the Heavenly Father would deal with us at all-before He would accept our consecration, or sacrifice—it was necessary that Jesus should appear on our behalf as our Advocate and Surety and thus open up to us a New Way of Life. Thus, as St. Paul declares, "Christ brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel"—life everlasting to the world and immortality, or the Divine Nature, for the Church. Prior to our Lord's First Advent, the way of life was not manifested no provision has been made for it except in the Divine Promise. God had promised His friend Abraham that somehow, sometime, all the world would be blessed; and that meant that all the world would be released from the curse of death and experience the Divine blessing, which signifies life everlasting—not that the world will be given this blessing unconditionally, but the opportunity for this blessing will be extended to every member of Adam's race, and to himself, for acceptance or rejection at their will. Then came the second part of the statement to Abraham; namely, that this blessing should come through his Seed, his posterity. This implies that some special members of Adam's race, of a faithful line, would be greatly exalted to honorable positions, where they would be capable of blessing the remainder of the world, their brethren. St. Paul points us to the fact that God offered this great privilege to the Natural Seed of Abraham, knowing all the while that they were sinners and would be unable to comply with the conditions, but making of them a typical people, and thereby incidentally blessing them, though with a lesser blessing. The true Seed of Abraham, through whom this promised blessing shall come, St. Paul most positively declares, is first of all the Lord Jesus Christ—the great Life-Giver, the Father who gives everlasting life—the Second Adam. Then, with equal clearness, the Apostle points out that the Church, the Bride of Christ, selected during this Gospel Age from all nations and all denominations, is to be also a participant in the blessing work, and to be counted in as a part of Abraham's Seed. His words are, "Which Seed is Christ." And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's Seed, and heirs according to the Promise."—Gal 3:16, 29. BROOKLYN TABERNACLE BIBLE STUDY ON SOWING AND REAPING. Galatians 6:1-10—Nov. 8. "Whatsoever a man south, that shall be also reap."—Verse 7. TODAY'S Study was intended, by those mapping out these lessons, to be a temperance lesson. But the Apostle's words have no reference whatever to intemperance of one kind more than another. He is addressing, neither the world in general nor some poor inebriates, but the consecrated people of God, as he declares in the opening verses of this Epistle. These consecrated Christians the Apostle calls brethren, and instructs them how to deal with any of their fellows who might be overtaken in a fault, entangled with some form of sin, by reason of weakness of the flesh or by unfavorable environment. The most spiritual of the Church should exercise themselves to bring about a restoration of the erring one to a condition of righteousness and fellowship with God. This they should do meekly, remembering that they also are imperfect, and may inadvertently fall into sin, contrary to their intentions. In this manner they were to "bear one another's burdens"—assisting one another in battling against the weaknesses of the flesh and the besetemnts of sin. Thus would they be fulfilling the law of Christ. This general law is one of service and self-sacrifice in the interests of others. A WINDY WOMAN Those who, finding a brother overtaken in a fault, merely throw their haint, mercy throw buck their heads, denouncing the brother in a haughty, holier-than-thou manner, have not yet attained a proper appreciation of what constitutes the law of Christ—the law of love which is to govern all the members of the Body. Too Much Self-Esteem. The Apostle points out that one great danger which besets all true Christians is headiness—thinking too highly of self and therefore not highly enough of the brethren, especially of those who stumble in some particular in which this individual has not yet stumbled. Whoever thinks of himself as somebody in God's sight should begin to realize that he is a nobody unworthy of Divine notice, except through God's favor in Christ. Such a person blinders his own progress in the good way. Instead of seeking to judge or repress his neighbor or his brother in Christ, each should seek to prove out his own work. He should ascertain to what he is: he has put away anger, wrath, malice, hatred, envy, strife, and put on meekness, gentleness, patience, long suffering, heartly kindness, love. To what ever it may, he discerns that he is progressing along these Scripturally defined lines, to that extent he has ground for a living, without in any sense or degree seeking to compare himself with others and thus to estimate himself wholly by the imperfections which he sees in others. Thus each should seek to find his own weaknesses and to hear his own burdens. Along the lines of this teaching, there is no room for criticism. Rather, as the Apostle points out, those who are taught should communicate with those who teach, telling them of any blessings received or of any clearer views of God's Word which have come to them. He may also have meant that they should recompense that teacher either with thanks or with cooperation or in some other way help him to forward his work of teaching. A There is a princi ple at stake here. God operates Reaping. God operates along the lines of justice, and cannot be deceived. We might deceive even ourselves temporarily with specious arguments, but none can deceive Him It is a principle of Divine arrangement that sowing shall bring reaping, and that it shall be of the same character as the thing sowed. The Christian's Life-Work The reaping of spiritual blessings and of heart development will depend upon faithfulness in sowing to these ends. Whoever lives a spiritual life, seeking to serve God in act, word and thought, will reap the largest development of the qualities which make up character-likeness to our Lord. But those who seek to please their own fleshly minds or those of friends or relatives, will make proportionately less progress along spiritual lines. To whatever extent we mortify the fleshy inclinations and seek to live in harmony with the Lord's Spirit, in that proportion we shall grow strong spiritually. If in our conduct we manifest to Him our love for truth and righteousness. He will account us worthy of everlasting life, knowing that when such receive the perfect bodies of the resurrection, they will live in absolute harmony with God. In verses 9 and 10 the Apostle concludes his argument. All the consecrated should continue faithful, and not grow weary of striving against sin. God is seeking to fix character in His people; and in due time they shall reap their reward. Meantime let us do good to all, especially to His children—the Household of Faith. REV. W. H.

GOLD OUTPUT IN AMERICA IS LARGE California Breaks All Records Except One Since 1864. 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 $26,812,459, an increase of $428,543 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 $20,408,958, of which the deep mines produced $11,570,781, or 50.7 per cent. The total increase in the gold production was $693,480, of which $502,900 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 1913 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 ore, 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 $5.61 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. GEO. C. HILLEARY Dealer in POULTRY, FISH AND GAME. 906 Louisiana Ave. N. W. Tel. Main 3391.
