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. 44 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1915 MRS. CARRIE M. LANGSTON A GREAT WOMAN COMMENDED MRS. CARRIE M. LANGSTON. Widow of the Late John Mercer Langston—Resolutions of Her and a Tribute to Her Memory. Tribute to Her Mentor (By Geo. C. Smith.) Fifty years is a long time to enjoy the friendship of a woman such as was Mrs. Langston. Nearly fifty years ago, September next, she came into my life when she was a young woman, 31; just at a time, the formative period of a young man's life, away from home and its influences most needed; a guide, advisor and protector, such was she in that most critical period of my life. On that beautiful Sunday morning upon my arrival at Oberlin, I wended my way from the depot to the Langston home where I was met by a little girl—Nettle—scarcely tall enough to reach the door knob. She ran upstairs to announce my arrival for I was expected. Soon the father came down, then the mother and her two brothers, Arthur and Ralf, to each of whom, with as much grace as the mother, introduced me and joined in the conversation as eagerly as the mother and father; just as she has always done since. I thought she was the most remarkable child I had ever known. When the family had retired to prepare the children for Sunday school and church, Mrs. Langston brought in paper, pen, ink and stamps and said, "Now write to your mother while we get ready for church." I obeyed that first command from her and just as I had finished the letter she entered the room and began to question me of my home life. She had for nearly eight years known of us from a member of our family who had entered her home. As I told her of that beautiful home life in which I had never heard a harsh or unkind word—that I had never known the rod—she saw the tears welling up and quickly wiped them away and said most tenderly, "don't cry, I will be a mother to you," and for the seven years I was in and out of that come until she came here to reside in 1872, she was indeed to me a kind-hearted mother, to whom I always went for counsel. When her husband was gathering up all the students, boys, at Oberlin in 1869, to open up Howard University, when I asked her what to do she said, "I am sure that your mother would prefer Oberlin, so you stay here, George," and I did or I would have been one of Howard's first graduates Whether I was absent from her; whether I saw her after or not, I always felt, always knew that I had a safe anchorage in her life, in her heart. No one can miss her more than I—this beautiful character! No one loved her better than I. Why should I not have loved her? If there is any thing in my life good that did not come from the influence of my father, my mother, it is due to this new mother. But she was a mother to so many students at Oberlin just as she has always been to the student life at Howard. She could easily devote her life to this, for she did not strive to or give thought to being a social leader in society, and yet, whether at Oberlin or her, she was unconsciously the veritable queen of society. She was the best equipped in every way as such that the race has produced. Coming from distinguished parentage, inheriting strength of character that developed as she grew and at the early age of eight placed in a Quaker family in Ohio and later at Oberlin as a student, she and her sister being the first Colored girls in this country to enter College of the class of 1856, added to her until she was in every respect the most finished of social leaders. At Oberlin in the college social life none was complete without the presence of her and her husband. Indeed, they were regarded and held as the foremost citizens of that cultured college town which did so much to fit so many young women and young men for the life that afterwards came Mrs. Lanceston in the life she lived showed the greatness of goodness; showed the power and influence such a life has upon others. Hers was not a negative goodness. it was a sunshine that was always with her; it was the heart of her that could not be dimmed; it was the irresistible beauty that melted to tenderness the hearts of all who had the privilege of a sight into that beautiful life—that charming home life. Such a home life that no home of the race has yet measured up to it—in all that constitutes the perfect home—a home in which a harsh word or frown never entered. She lead young girls and boys into the atmosphere of a purer, a better life. When they came away from her presence, they felt that their lives had been sweetened and made better from the visit. It was her's to set characters growing by watering them by the purity of her daily life. Her life purified society and made it better; for she shed the surplus of the sunshine in her life with others to drive away the shadows. Hers was a soul born to the real responsibility and beauty of living. Nor could the influence and power of such a woman be hedged in, but given out freely to all who were fortunate to enjoy an entree to the inner circle of that charming home life. Every one was made to look up to her radiance, and was made glad and better. She lived in a high atmosphere, and thus gave to the world the highest type of womanhood. She made others feel better—to think better of themselves. She inspired others with hope; she made hearts glad and gentle. She stood behind the door of others' successes and triumphs, and never knew how many hundreds she had molded into a better womanhood, a better manhood. She was the guardian angel who gently led them without their knowledge; and how willingly they followed! Her power, her love, her silent, hidden, and subtle influence held them to the right. All these shed their light, and thus by her pure life filled the world of others with love and light that sweetened many lives; and how they loved her! She lived to love, and was fondly loved by all. Never an unkind word of anyone; never an unkind word of her all the years I knew her. When the candle in her life went out in this life, the world was darker and sadder. To say that another life can take her place, I do not believe. Her life was the growth of almost a century; and it will require another century to grow another like hers. The value of her life was the powerful factor that entered into and shaped so many lives—molded and set so many characters growing. Looking back fifty years and knowing the many lives, some of them that she touched and shaped even when she was young, seems almost incredible, but I speak of a knowledge of fifty years. The most remarkable thing about her home was that at the age of 31 was as perfect then in all of its parts as she left it at the ripe age of 81. In the light in which I have known and loved her have I written, no words of mine can add to or tell the story of this beneficent life. For this splendid woman there is no death; immortal she lives on forever, and yet we wonder why she should be taken away from us. Life is a mystery and death is even more so and beyond it is the unknown land; yet the secret of the mystery called death shall at some time, in His own way, be revealed to us. But it is enough that, in faith we trust, whether He has given to us to know or withheld, we know that He, in love, doeth all things in wisdom and justice to the sons of men. Our eyes question the everlasting voice from the eternal silence, but in vain. But we know that the reward of this good woman is sure and rest is eternal beyond the grave. GENERAL SMITH. Anti-Saloon League Can't Bulldoze. Excise Board Will Not Recede.—Now Up to Shoemaker and His—Now Up to Shoomaker and His Reformers. No saloon, wholsale liquor house or hotel bar in Washington which the Anti-Saloon League believes to be operating illegally will be closed by the excise board. In reply to the league's recent request that it drive practically one-fourth of the capital's liquor establishments out of business on the ground that their existence is a violation of the Jones-Works law, the board in a terse communication today announced its intention to stand firm on its licensing record. The excise officials do not stop with this, but suggest that if their decision does not meet with the approval of the league the courts may be appealed to. A. E. Shoemaker, attorney for the league, this afternoon said that the suggestion undoubtedly would be adopted. Arrangements for entering prosecutions in Police Court will be considered at an early meeting of officers of the league, he said. Board's Reply to League. The excise board has been under consideration the league's request since March 12. Its answer, sent to Attorney Shoemaker was as follows: "The excise board is in receipt of your letter of March 12, 1915, in which you allege that the board has 'granted many licenses in violation of law, and many saloons and wholesale liquor establishments are now being operated in the District under and by virtue of licenses illegally granted, and therefore void and of no legal effect whatever." "The board has to inform you it believes that it has properly performed its duty and granted no licenses without necessary sanction of law. "Under any circumstances the board would be powerless to close such establishments. Those who would act with such purpose in view have recourse to the courts." The anti-liquor forces had requested the closing of twenty-one saloons and five wholesale houses on the ground that they are located within 400 feet of a school or place of religious worship; fifty-seven barrooms and twenty-seven wholesale establishments on the ground that they are located in residential or non-business sections, and eight hotel bars on the ground that the hotels have less than fifty bed-rooms for guests, these conditions, it is claimed, constituting the existence of each place mentioned a violation of the provisions of the Jones-Works laws. Board Stands by Acts Gen. Robert G. Smith, chairman of the board, would not supplement the formal reply sent to Mr. Shoemaker other than to say the board felt it had acted in the spirit and the letter 1 THOMAS L. JO NES, ESQ, Who has made a record as a criminal lawyer. I ask permission to express my unqualified disapproval of so much of the above as refers to me as "James C. Waters of the War Department." I am, and from the day of my nativity to the present moment, have been known as James C. Waters, Jr., a plain, very ordinary human being whose claim to distinction along any line whawever has never yet, so far as I am aware, been asserted. It is true that I am at present employed in the War Department, but what possible grant can there be for referral to a restraint, wholly in accord when reporting me as one of the participants in a Mu-So-Lie debate? I am perfectly willing that Mr. Cobb or my friend, Tom Clarke, should "hog" all the ponderosity in the reportorial presentation of mere names (going some, ch?)—though I doubt if either one of them really appreciates this sort of thing—but as I indicated once before when writing along this line, I prefer to follow the example of John D. Crimmins, Bookman Winthrop, Geo. B. Cortelyou, Henry Marganthau and other ordinary citizens whose names are constantly reported in the public press—sans trimmings. JAMES C. WATERS, JR.

Pace, first assistant superintendent. J A ATTORNEY J. M. KING ATTORNEY L. M. KING of the excise law and that it had no apology or excuse to make for its decisions, which it considered both legal and fair. Probably the first move of the Anti-Saloon League will be to transmit to the President a copy of the testimony given before the special Senate committee which investigated the excise board. What recommendations may be made to the President at that time officials of the league will not discuss. Detailed plans for instituting legal proceedings will not be made until the directors of the league have had opportunity to canvass the situation. This may be done at a meeting to be held some time during the present week. Hyattsville, Md., March 20, 1915. To The Editor: Among the news items published this week I find a write-up of recent proceedings in the Mu-So-Lit Club reading in part as follows: "The subject for discussion was the Half-and-Half plan and Mr. McFarland complimented the members of the club on their study, etc., etc., **** The club members who led the discussion were James A. Cobb, assistant United States District Attorney Edward H. Lawson, chairman of the executive committee; James C. Waters of the War Department, and Lleut. T. H. R. Clarke of the Clark-Williams - Plummer Real Estate Firm." Rev. Pace knows how to handle the affairs of the Sunday School, and the school bids fair to become one of the most interesting schools in the District. At 11 o'clock the pastor, Rev. M. S. Owen, preached. Subject, "What Christ Will do When He Comes." The sermon is great and everybody enjoyed the services. At 6:30 p. m., the Northeast Forum held a regular weekly session under the direction of Mrs. M. E. Cowen, the pastor's wife. Mrs. Cowen is one of the most efficient church workers of the city, a woman who delights to work with her husband, who is pastor of the church, for the success of the work. Rev. and Mrs. Cowen during ten months of his pastorate at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church have accomplished more in uniting the church and relieving the church of debts than has been accomplished by the church for a quarter of a century. "When Rev. M. S. Cowen was called to the pastorate ten months ago the church was greatly in debt, with seemingly no way out; today the church is well organized and does not owe anything whatsoever. At 8 p. m., Rev. M. L. H. Barelay preached a great sermon, subject, "Faith." His text was, "God Will Provide." During the past month twenty-three happy souls have turned from the ways of sin and joined the church. There will be special Easter services on Easter Sunday all day and on Monday night following Easter a special program will be rendered by the choir and Sunday School of the church. Notice of the Easter services will appear in The Bee of next week. Mt. Olivet Baptist Church has demonstrated to the world what can be done by the church under the proper kind of a leader. The doors of the church are open to all who want full intercourse with the Spirit in public worship. The motto of the church is "Work," and the pastor makes it known publicly that there is "work" for all to do and they must work for honor and glory of God, from the least to the greatest, the youngest to the oldest members must work; there is room enough for all. A de d church is a disgrace to the cause of Christ, and a hindrance to its members. If Mt. Olivet continues its present rate of progress the time will not be long before they will have to have a larger church building. The church and pastor has the hearty co-operation and respect of The Bee and the editor, who is a personal friend of the pastor and his wife. COLORED LAWYERS In speaking of the Colored attorneys, there are no two men better known to the people than Attorneys Jones and King. Thomas L. Jones, Esq., is no doubt one of the best-known criminal lawyers at the bar. There is no man better qualified to defend a criminal case than he is. Out of 35 or more murder cases he has never had a defendant to hang. His defense is always perfect and the manner in which he conducts his cases have often been commended by the court. Aside from his great criminal practice he has a very large equity practice, and from present indications he is among the most busy men at the bar. Mr. Jones has a most interesting family. His wife and children are very accomplished. He has accumulated a great deal of property from the practice of his profession. L. M. King, Esq., is a quiet and active practitioner. He is one among the best equity lawyers at the local bar. His papers are generally prepared carefully and when he with his papers. enters court no fault is ever made THE BIBLE AND ATTY. JONES. A Large Crowd Turns Out to Hear the Brilliant Attorney Discuss the Bible. There was a packed house at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church Sunday, March 21, Eighth street between D and E streets, southwest, to listen to that well-known orator and lawyer, Thomas L. Jones, Esq., who took for his subject, "Favorite Books of the Bible, and Why." His eloquence and logic were matchless. Every word he uttered was listened to with marked attention. The musical program, under the direction of Miss Hazel Brown, was artistically carried out. Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Tuesday evening, March 22, about two thousand people were packed into Vermont Avenue Baptist Church to listen to the new address of Attorney Thomas L. Jones, entitled, "The New South." Among his hearers were quite a number of white citizens who seemed to enjoy what he said. Mr. Jones was given a great ovation. Bethel Literary.

COMMISSIONER SPEAKS VOCATIONAL TRAINING THE The Men's Club of Zion Methodist Church. Interesting Exercises. Commissioner Brownlow Gives Good Advice. St. Luke's mended by the Insurance Commissioner. It was a great day for the Men's Club of Zion Methodist Church and the citizens of South Washington last Sunday afternoon. The occasion was a public meeting of the Men's Club, under the auspices of the Trustees and Men's Club. The program was carried out to the letter, with but two exceptions. Mrs. M. Harvey Clinkscales, the greatest organist of the church, rendered a fine prelude. She was followed by prayer by the pastor, Rev. Carroll, and concluded with the following program: 1. Organ Prelude, Mrs. M. Harvey Clinkscales. 2. Prayer, by the pastor. 3. Anthem, by the choir. 4. Introduction of Master of Ceremonies, by Chairman of Committee of Arrangements. 5. Benedict Quartette, Messrs. Lomacks, Brooks, Mayo and Amos, "Come Unto Me,"—Park. 6. Remarks of welcome by the pastor. 7. Solo, Miss Laura Tyler, directress of the choir. S. Introduction' of the speaker, by Wm. B. Harris. 9. Address, Hon. Commissioner Brownlow. 10. Benedict Quartette, "Abide with Me."—Steele. 11. Recitation, Miss Edyth May COMMISSIONER BROWNLOW, Who addressed the Men's Club at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zlon Church last Sunday. 12. Sextette, Tyler, Clinkscales Quartete. 13. Notices, Church Clerk. 14. Benediction. Mr. Joseph H. Jones conducted the preliminaries, after which he introduced Mr. Wm. B. Harris, a well-known society man, and who was the first man to meet Commissioner Brownlow when he arrived in this city. In introducing Mr. Brownlow, he said in part that there are some things which happen in our public affairs which seem providential. This can be truthfully said of the succession, of this grand young man to the position of District 'Commissioner. When the illustrious Mr. Siddons was selected for the position of Commissioner it made the hearts of the people of this district rejoice and we were glad of his promotion. We were equally glad to know that in the selection of the successor to Mr. Siddons that the lines had again fallen unto us in pleasant places. It has been our good pleasure to know the distinguished Commissioner for a number of years. He represents the highest type of an American citizen. He has been a close student of public affairs in this country and abroad. His pen has so beautifully portrayed his experiences until he is a recognized authority on the topics of the hour; so much so until he is in the council of the leading men of our nation, and this without regard to politics. By his own strenuous and studious efforts he has made for himself a place in the affairs of this government. His wide experience has made him a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; so we find him willing to sacrifice a few hours of his recreation to lend his voice to the uplift of humanity. I know of nothing more bediting than to have this distinguished and illustrious gentleman to address the Men's Club of this church; I there- Continued to page 4. character. (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Away back there just a few years this side of the prehistoric age, old Hilji, who was a sort of a race leader around the fringes of society of Herbini, a suburb of Mecca, took Salvova to task for going back on him after testifying before the tribunal that he was a "true friend" of Hilji. "Didn't you swear by a copy of the Volgli that you was a true friend of mine?" asked Hilji, rather petulantly, sarcastically, and vehemently. "Now, ruminating among the archives of my brain cells," sald Salvoca, "I recall that while disterting upon the mysteries of ephemeral greatness, and cogitating on the ultimate end of man, I paranathetically referred to the existence of a possible condition in which the mind might enter," because of certain environments, whereby the antithesis of day might be, by some fanciful creation superinduced by agitation, confused with an unusually resplendent day, but any affirmation which I might have been guilty of at the time, should not be positively considered as a declaration of fealty superinduced by a condition of the mind that made a former declaration applicable to the present in the event that the present was so conspicuously timed to effect my own present or future." Now that was a lot of junk talk that it will take more than the average intelligence to analize, but when I heard our own dear, fertive and chimelonic Roscoe testify in the court last week, after a certain photo was produced with his inscription thereon, I could not help but recall the testimony of dear old Salvoca, who has now been mumified for several thousand years, and remark, as I recalled it: "History sure do repeat itself." Of all the artful dodgers that ever emerged from the seclusion of Harvard, and rotated around in the Washington schools, just commend me to dear little Rosco. He can explain "yes" to signify "no," and he can with equal facility reason out that "no" means "yes." Rosco has a reasoning faculty that works two ways for Sunday. He just pulls out the spark plug, and presto, change, the thing is whatever he last says it is. I admire his ability to juggle the English language. The old sword jugglers who could take a half dozen swords, and keep them going without letting one drop, had nothing on our dear little Rosco. When Congress next convenes, some astute, far-seeing congressmen ought to introduce a bill conferring upon Rosco the degree of A. D., the "artful dodger," and further provide that he be made professor of language justposition in the public schools for the entire country. If there is anything needed to convince the school board and Superintendent that Rosco has got Frenchman, "that reasoning from a fanciful premsis for the sake of reducing the inquilies that are assumed to surround a concrete being, that sublimity may be ascribed to mind-made creations." That was a beautiful sidestepping, and its recall brings us right back to our fellow townsmen, that august personage who assays to manage the Colored schools, Rosco. It sounds so much like him, that I am constrained to take a dip into transmission, and believe that departing spirits are prolonged by being transmitted to the late born. If I am correct, it is possible that the spirits of Salvoca and Count d'Ferault, coming on down through the ages, have finally landed in Rosco, and he, after all, is but the reincarnation of these old mumified fellows who dealt, wholesale, in junk, and meaningless language. I sure do like a bluff, plain, blunt fellow who says "dam," and then explains afterwards that "dam" means just what the dictionary says it means—"dam," even though he grates on my elastic conscience, but I aint got no time at all for these junk dealers who can explain that "yes" means "no," and "no" means "yes." Once upon a time old Zack Chandler who used to represent Bob Pelham's state in the United States Senate, on reading an interview from some two-by-four rural statesman up in his bailwick who severely criticised him, sent for his secretary, and after showing him the interview, said. "Who in the h—I is this fellow anyway?" Senator Chandler's secretary, in just the blandest manner possible said: "Senator. I'll write the superintendent of the imbecile asylum out home and see if he is an inmate?" After listening to Rosco's testimony in the police court last week, I sort of felt like I ought to write the superintendent of St. Elizabeth, or some other similar institution, and see if he was registered there. Prof. Kelly Miller has been denominated by some as a stradler. I disagree with them. But one thing sure the Professor never did get in the class of junk language dealers. Privately just to the readers of this column, if I had been guilty of explaining away my autograph as Rosco explained, I would immediately apply for a passport, then take the first ship to Germany, and hunt out old General Hinderman, or the Kaiser, and say to them: "Load me in that there 42-climate gun, and fire me off with the next discharge, cause I aint no good to man or beast, and I've just gone and mussed myself all up with myself." But little ivory-top aint going to do no such thing. He's going to hang around here and try to hold on to that school job, unmindful of the fact that his testimony last week has put another hobble on him, and another pair of gyves. Jim Cobb, a few weeks ago, I'm told, indulged in this reflection: "If he could only tell the truth semi-occasionally!" Just who he had reference to I am not aware, and deponeth sayeth not, but from disconnected sentences I overheard, I'm inclined to think he had reference to a certain individual who at one time, if not at present, presided over the destinies of youthful chasers after knowledge. No sir, when a fellow writes on a reproduction of his falseface, "from your friend," it doesn't necessarily mean "friend." Later explanations may make it mean just a sample of Bruconlan expediency. Old Salvoca and Count d'Ferault may have been peacherinos in their day, but if they were living today Rosco would make them look like a pair of belated deuces in a race with a royal flush, and talkin' about royal flushes, Rosco could, perhaps, explain them to be the lowest hand in the deck. As Governor Pinchback says: "Take away the dishes!" Paraphrasing the Governor's declaration, permit me to solemnly, majestically, and emphatically say: "Take away Rosco cause he's done gone reduced the English language to a junk pile." (By E. B. Henderson, Physical Director, Colored High Schools.) Player Position School Miles l. f. M St. H. S. Miller r. f. M St. H. S. Garner c. M St. H. S. Walker l. g. Commercial H. S. Davis r. g. Armstrong This season's basket ball was unique in that M street and Armstrong were more evenly matched than at any time previous. Armstrong's team seem unbeatable on the home floor although no favoring conditions of floor arrangements or baskets is a cause. But take the five away and it lacks the dash, accuracy in shooting and spirit that counts for victory in the Tech gymnasium. M Street started the year with the hope of a victory over the other high schools, but the team's captain and one other veteran were laid low by the scholarship ratings just before the opening of the series. Armstrong also lost a good player via the "D" route. Commercial lacked much material, and but one of the veterans showed the old time form. The team did not get in the preliminary practice it has managed to get in previous to this year. M Street easily annexes two titles—the high school championship of the Public Schools Athletic League and the scholastic title for the Middle Atlantic States. The team lost in Baltimore to the St. Mary's team, champions there, but won out handily on a neutral floor later on. Howard Academy was also defeated. Losing to Armstrong on the Armstrong court, but winning from Tech on a neutral court by a big score, the tie was broken in a game on the Miner School court when M Street "under-grads." M Street was coached by Mr. Clyde McDuffle, Armstrong by Mr. Maurice Clifford, and Commercial by Mr. Samuel Compton. Pleking an all star lineup is no small and inconsequential task, and will not meet with anything like the general agreement some earlier selections have met with. However, the writer has made a choice upon actual results shown by the score book and the judgment of the coaches and officials in charge of the teams and games. Some players have done good floor work, but have a record marked, by fouls. Other players have been good in one or two games, and but mediocre workers in others. Miles and Miller make a well balanced set in forward positions. One is alert, active, an expert dodger, full of grit, and a fair shot from the field, but excellent from the foul line. The other is strong, a little clumsy, but the best field goal thrower in the game. Cupid and Wiseman, of Armstrong, were mentioned in the various choices for forward. The strong points in their favor were the few times they committed fouls, but also few were their goals. Of the centers, Garner was clearly the best. His strongest suit was teamwork. He sacrificed all futile chances for better ones by his team mates, and in guarding and passing he was very good. He easily outjumped his opponents on most occasions. Walker of Commercial and Parker deserve mention as centers, but one was so good in general play on the court that a guard position is assigned him, and the other seemed too wary of the mixups. Davis of Armstrong was easily the best guard. His shooting has improved, his record of fouls tossed is as good as any, and in the ability to cover the floor and intercept passes is better than others. Lacy of M Street was good at covering a player with the ball and good at intercepting passes but lacked in general play; while Marshall has but too recently emerged from the ranks to show his ability, although a bad arm was much of a handicap. The teams were all conditioned well and bore the games of the series with no injuries of the note. Hurry up and eat all the oysters you can. The natives of Slam have a horror of odd numbers. They have never been known to build a house of a temple with five, seven, nine of eleven windows. No carnivorous bird or quadruped in England will eat the flesh of a cat. The rule applies even to the carrion crow, which will devour dead dogs greedily. Earliest artillery guns were made from wrought iron bars, bound together like the staves of a cask by the strinking over them of iron hoops. NAVY TO MOBILIZE FOR WAR GAME Submarines, Destroyers, Air Craft and Even Mine Sweepers Will Make an Attack on New York City-Armada to Be Greatest Gathering of American Naval Forces In All History. Washington.—Plans have been completed by the navy department for the mobilization of the entire Atlantic fleet, the destroyer and submarine flotillas and the naval aviation corps, off Newport on May 18. Newport will be the base of operations, which will involve the working out of a naval problem on which the war college at Newport has been busy for weeks and which will cover the coast from Nantucket to Montauk Point, the approach to Long Island sound. The game as mapped out is the most pretentious ever undertaken by the navy. In addition to the super-Dreadnoughts, Dreadnoughts, pre-Dreadnoughts, armored cruisers, destroyers and submarines, it is understood a fleet of fishing craft will be pressed into service to carry out the mine sweeping part of the program.

The fleet, which for the first time is commanded by an officer with the rank of admiral, has been engaged in target and fleet exercises off Guantanamo, Cuba. These exercises, which have been in progress for more than two months, will terminate, so far as Cuban waters are concerned, when the entire fleet will start for Chesapeake bay, holding fleet drills on the way. The fleet is scheduled to reach Tangier bay, in Chesapeake bay, on April 9. After two days the entire organization will put to sea again and from April 11 to May 8 will have target practice off the canes of Virginia. "Never before in the history of our navy," reads a statement issued from the navy department, "has such a powerful fleet been assembled for active service as that based at Guantanamo, Cuba, the past two months under Admiral Fletcher. The vessels comprising this fleet are ready for any service and are accompanied by repair ships, supply ships and fuel ships carrying coal, oil and supplies for an extended period." In addition to the exercises off Guantanamo, the reserve torpedo flotilla and the submarines have been and are still engaged in war exercises off Pensacola, Fla. Altogether eighty-three warships of all classes are now at practice. Under authority granted by congress at the session just ended Secretary Daniels has designated the commanders of three big fleets to be admirals. The officers thus advanced from rear admirals to admirals are Walter C. Cowles, commanding the Aslatic fleets; Frank F. Fletcher, commander in chief of the Atlantic fleet, and Thomas B. Howard, commanding the Pacific fleet. Admiral Fletcher will direct the war game this spring. CHARLES S. HILL, ATTORNEY. Supreme Court of the District of Co- Columbia, Holding Probate Court.

Attest; JAMES TANNER, Register of Willis for the District of Columbia. Clerk of the Probate Court. JAS. A. COBB, TO SAVE 10,000 LIVES EACH YEAR New York Health Department Points Out Methods. PUBLIC HEALTH FURCHASABLE Preventive Measures to Mean Economic Gain of $30,000,000 Annually. Asserts That Death Rate In Every Section of the Country Can Be Materially Lowered. Albany, N. Y.—That the state can save 10,000 lives annually and reduce the death rate as low as that in New York city, if not lower, is the keynote of the letter from Dr. Hermann M Biggs, state commissioner of health, to Governor Whitman, transmitting the thirty-fifth annual report of the department. "The state department has set for it self the task of saving 25,000 lives within five years," says Dr. Biggs. "The question now is whether the legislature will provide the funds necessary to secure this saving. "The education of the public to the risks of neglect and to the advantages and ways of healthful living is necessarily a slow process. For its successful accomplishment by the sanitary authorities its requisites are adequate funds, broad powers and an efficient organization, carrying guidance and inspiration into every school, workshop, store and factory, as well as into every home, whether in the city, town or remotest countryside. "The exact achievements of modern preventive medicine and the collection of statistics of disease and death have made it possible today, as it has never been before, to calculate with reasonable accuracy and in terms of life and health as well as in dollars and cents the returns which expenditures of money and of personal service by the state may secure." The health commissioner quotes the motto of the state department: "Public health is purchasable. Within natural limitations any community can determine its own death rate." "This is so true when applied to the state as a whole as to any individual community within it." says Dr. Biggs, and he points out that not only can 10,000 lives be saved annually, but that this means that 100,000 cases of serious illness can be prevented, with all the economic loss involved in payment of f med- piles. eased mental As to the money saving involved, Commissioner Biggs says that $2,500 is a conservative estimate of the value of each life thus unnecessarily lost, and $50 is a conservative estimate of the emergency expense for each case of severe illness. "This makes a total loss in this state of $30,000,000 a year in preventable disease," says Dr. Biggs, "and this estimate takes no account of the vast increase in the economic efficiency of the people of the state, which is possible through the fostering of greater healthfulness in all communities." As evidence that this can be accomplished Dr. Biggs points out the results of efficient health work in New York city. "What practical man of business twenty-five years ago would have believed that 50,000 lives a year could be saved in New York city by health measures? Yet this result has already been accomplished." The commissioner points out that this saving of life can be brought about not merely in the early periods of life, but in the period beginning at forty-five. "Those diseases of the heart and blood vessels, the kidneys and the brain," he says, "which are peculiar to the middle and later periods of life and which would seem to have been rapidly increasing in recent years, are most in sicklous in their onset and development. The affected individual is often quite unconscious of their presence until measures intended for their arrest are no longer promising. A broad field of the greatest usefulness is here open to the sanitary authorities, which has thus far been almost untouched. "We are convinced that at least five years may be added to the average lifetime of each individual reaching the age of forty five (the period of greatest usefulness and productiveness) by the subsequent proper guidance and protection of his life activities, at no cost of efficiency, but, on the contrary, with a distinct average increase." Increased appropriations have been asked for to carry forward the department's campaign of education, to extend laboratory facilities for diagnosis and treatment of diseases to safeguard people against preventable diseases and to postpone the approach of those diseases which are unavoidable. A LONG. LONG WAY TO PEACE. War Periods Number 3,130 Years, Against 227 of Quiet. Paris.—The Tempes, commenting on the action of the recent Socialist congress in London, warns people against the idea that war can be abolished. It says, "Statistics show that from 1406 B. C. to 1611 A. D. there were 227 years of peace and 3,130 years of war—that is, one year of peace to fifteen of war." WEDS TO KEEP HIS JOB. Unmarried Men Were to Be Laid Off, So Wilber Got Married. Chatham, N. X.-Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Fred S Wilber of this place are congratulating them upon their marriage, which took place recently. The date was advanced in order that Wilber might keep his job in the local bottling station of a big milk concern. The superintendent of the plant had been ordered to lay off all the unmarried men in order to reduce expenses. Wilber, who had learned of this, hurried to the home of his fiancee, Miss Mabel C. Phillips. "We must get married today." Wilber said to her. "Why, we can't; my wedding gown isn't finished." Miss Phillips protested. But when Wilber explained the emergency Miss Phillips consented. Then Wilber reported for work. "What are you doing here?" demanded the superintendent. "All single men were laid off Saturday." "Yes, but I'm married now," said Wilber, displaying his certificate. "Congratulations." said the superintendent. "Go to work." FINDS NEW GASOLENE SOURCE Dr. Snelling Produces It From Synthetic Crude Oil. Pittsburgh.-Dr. Walter A. Snelling, a research chemist of this city, for years in charge of the explosive ex- periments for the United States gov- ernment as chemist in charge of re- search work and consulting chemist, announced he had discovered a mea- mage of making gasolene out of synthetic crude oil. The discovery after five years of experimental work is regis- ered as one of the most important of its kind. Dr. Snelling convinced the engineers that his claims deserve the highest consideration. He resigned from his governmental work to continue his ex- periments and for the last two years has been employed and financed by a wealthy St. Louis man. DARDANELLES FIGHT AN EPOCH MAKING ONE To Go Down In History as Momentous Struggle. London.—When a combined squadron of British and French warships began the task of forcing a passage of the Dardanelles on Nov. 5 of last year probably few realized the magnitude of the task they had set for themselves. It was four months from the date of that opening shot that word of any progress was reported. It was only when the British super-Dreadnought Queen Elizabeth, armed with eight fifteen-inch guns and lying from eight to ten miles offshore, hurled tons and tons of metal into the outer fortifications at the entrance to the Dardanelles that the first breach was made in the supposedly impregnable defenses. This wonderful marine fighting machine, the Queen Elizabeth, was only one of a fleet of forty warships sent to hammer down the forts that guard the forty mile long passage through the sea of Marmora and to Constantinople beyond. Engaged with her in the task, which may be regarded as comparable to that of storming the rock of Gibraltar, were the Dreadnoughts Agamemnon, Irresistible, Vengeance, Cornwalls, Triumph, Albion and Majestic, most of which were armed with four twelve-inch guns each, and the Ereneb pre-Dreadnoughts Gaulots, Suffren and Charlemagne. Opposing the passage of these engines of destruction is a continuous line of fortifications on both sides of the narrow strait, supplemented with dendly sea mines and several submarines. The one enormous advantage possessed by the attacking force is in the superior range of its guns. Opposed to the twelve and fifteen inch guns of the combined fleet, the greatest guns of the forts are pieces of 10.2 inch caliber. From the beginning of the forcing of the Dardanelles early in November all the fortifications within range of the larger guns of the attacking fleet were subjected to desultory bombardment. The end of February, however, marked the starting of the attack in deadly earnest. Two days of constant pounding battered down the forts guarding the entrance to the strait from the Mediterranean. Military experts agree that the strength of the defenses of the Dardanelles grows from the entrance as they near Constantinople. When the present great war passes into history no more momentous struggle will be recorded than that of the attempt of the allies' fleet to force the passage toward the Golden Horn.

GOD'S MERCIES TO DISOBEDIENT ISRAEL Quarterly Review—Read Nechemia, 9:26-31 March 28. Period of the Judges—Divinely Appointed Leaders—Their Duties and Responsibilities—Only One Lawgiver and One Law—Two Pictures of Israel's National Life Under the Judges—Manifestations of Divine Love and Care—Lessons for Us. "Eightheousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people."—Procerbs 11:31. vision of Canaan amongst the tribes until the anointing of Saul, a period of 450 years (Acts 13:10-21), is called the Period of the Judges—Joshua being the first Judge and Samuel the last. These Judges were raised to their position providentially. But as they had neither power nor authority, collected no revenue and could not entail the office upon others, it follows that whatever influence they possessed was personal; and to give it weight implied a proper acknowledgment of them as Divinely appointed, or "raised up." This arrangement led the people continually to look to God for their leaders rather than to engage in politics, in which personal ambition would control. Similarly Spiritual Israelites are not to wore-pull and decide for them- selves who shall be their spiritual leaders, but are to look to the Lord to raise up from time to time such leaders as he may please. The acceptance of these as God's appointees does not necessarily mean their selection by ballot, but may be indicated merely by heeding their The Tables of The Law. teachings in harmony with God's Word. Divinely appointed leadership will always be marked by spiritual victories and closer heart-relationship with God; for the Lord's Spirit leads not to bondage, ignorance, or strife, but to love, joy, peace of heart, liberty of conscience. Israel needed no legislature; for it had one Lawgiver—the Lord—and the Law given at Mt. Sinai was perpetually to guide the nation. The priests and the Levites were the Divinely appointed helpers of the people—to instruct them in the Law, to represent them in the typical sacrificing, etc. In each tribe the Elders, according to their capacity, had charge of the civil affairs of the tribe. Soldiers they had none; for the Divine Law was to separate them from other nations, and if they were faithful the Lord was to be their Protector. Two Pictures of National Life. If the Book of Judges be read as a complete history of Israel during those four and one-half centuries, it would be a discouraging picture and would give an unfair view—that they were continually suffering punishment for sin and idolatry. The record passes by the happy period of Israel's prosperity, and especially points out their defections from God, their punishments therefor, and their deliverances through the Judges whom God raised up for them. That this was a favorable time for Israel is implied in the Lord's promise to restore the Judges. The Israelites had been instructed by the Lord to exterminate the Canaanites. This they had failed to do; and later on the false religions of those condemned by God alienated the hearts of many of the Israelites from full loyalty to the Lord, seducing them into a lascivious idolatry. Thus they repeatedly brought upon themselves the Lord's disfavor. Applying this to Spiritual Israel, we are not to expect that the Lord's displeasure with His people would delay until they had gone completely into idolatry to self, wealth, fame, etc. Rather, the Lord's chastisements are sent to correct while still there is in our hearts something of obedience and love toward Him—before the world, the flesh and the Adversary capture us completely. ```markdown ``` These records of Divine chastisements, of Israel's subsequent repentance and of the Lord's deliverance are proofs of the Divine Love for that consecrated people. So far as we have information, the Divine Power was not thus exercised upon other nations for their reproof, correction, etc. They were left as allens from God and His covenant and promises. Israel's Wrong Course. Israel's government differed from all other earthly governments. God was their King; and in His providences, according to His Covenant with them, He supervised their affairs. But in Samuel's day, the Elders, perceiving that his sons were unreliable and forgetting that God was their King and the Judge merely His representative, petitioned the Prophet that he anoint them a king. It is hard for us to sympathize with such prayers for their own degradation. The Prophet Samuel seems to have viewed the matter from this standpoint. He very properly went to the Lord in prayer; it was not for him to decide. He was merely the Lord's mouthpiece, to speak to the Israelites whatever message he should receive from the Lord.

Glenn, Rosco C. Bruee, assistant superintendent in charge of Colored Schools, said in explanation of the writing which he placed on the photograph of himself which he presented to W. Calvin Chase, “‘the unique, the fearless and the relentless,” said in answer to the question, ‘‘Did you mean this when you’ wrote itt” “T meant that he is uaique for there is none like him. I meant ‘that he is fearless because he doesn’t fear the right; he doesn’t fear his own conscience. I meant that he is relentless in that there are no ends to which he would not go in carrying out his purpose.” We further stated that what he had written on the photograph Mr. Chase ‘‘could make any usc he wanted.” Here is 4 direct and positive admission by the assistant superintendent in charge of Col- ered schools of using language, or intending to use language suscept- jble to a double meaning; in other ~ —— whose ex- ms - ie Colored , sorals and 7 d children, nn ae 5 duplicity and deception, Ts it fair to the youth of the race to place before them as a model a man who tes- tifies under oath that he gives his picture to another man, and in- seribes it with words which would bear any interpretation? If the Colored members of the board are willing to keep at the head of the schools a man like this, are the white members who _ constitute two-thirds of the board and who are, therefore, responsible for its moral standards, willing to do sof ‘We are constantly being told that government by white men means moral government. Let us see if does. 1f Rosco C. Bruce were as- sistant superintendent in charge of white schools would he be Kept in that position after the admis- sion under oath on the witness stand that he had employed words of which’ Mr. Chase ‘‘eould make any use he wanted ;’’ the words being defined by all the diction- aries as having meanings of praise and eulogy, and Bruce saying that he intended to convey a meaning of condemnation? RELIEF IN SIGHT. The ‘deplorable condition in the Colored schools will _ be emphasized when the District Committee turns the conduct of the schools over to the commis- sioners of the District of Colum- bie. At the beginning of the school year, The Bee is informed, that percentage of attendance was large, but on account of the con- duct of certain teachers the per- -eentage of attendance had de- ereased to an alarming extent. Several ladies have been com- pelled to leave the school on ac: count of unfair treatment. A young female pupil was given sar examination in certain studies by certain teachers and because the authority didn’t come from an. other teacher, she was told tha’ she could not continue in th school. Parents as well as children ar making complaints to the superin tendent and members of the boar< of education of the unfair treat -ment. What is to be done? The Su preme Court, until the Commis sioners get ¢ontrol of the schools must appoint men on the beard o education who have the interes of the schools at heart. The great est needs in the Colored school are many. Tn the first place, a new assist- ant superintendent of schools is all important at this time. A new high school principal and a reorganization of that school. A new kindergarten principal. The kindergarten department in the Colored schools could be im- proved. There are many other needy and important changes in the Colored schools absolutely nec- essary. - A change in the head of the Armstrong Manual Training School. Why not merge that school intc the vocational department, ap. point a practical head over the en: tire vocational system? The District committee will con: sider the feasibility of a merger If not, why not? The Distrie committe will guarantee protec: tion to the teachers and a numbe! of them will be summoned to tes tify. EVCISE ROARD. the &xcise board has: been re- quested to close at least twenty sa- loons which, it is claimed, it, grant- ed liquor licenses in violation of law. General Smith, the chair- man of that hoard, is no fool and The Bee take: this occasion to com mend him in che way he conducted himself beture the investigating committee of Congress. His an- swers were prompt and_ concise and reasons were logical. The only mistake that the board made was the closing of those places con. ducted by Colored Americans. These places compared favorably with many of those granted by the board. The two Colored ho: tels, Holmes and West, the Col. ored saloons, Dade and, Washing ton, and the Colored club con. ducted by’ England should have been granted licenses. The Anti Saloon League closed Mr. Dade’ place in.an anonymous letter which the board admitted wa: wrong. Then again, what righ has this self-constituted organiza tion to protest against anything’ There are things in this city mort dangerous and objectionable thar saloons. There are too many shan reformers in this city, who ‘‘swal low a camel and strain out ¢ gnat.””. This city has almost beer ruined by shams, There are ninety thousand Col ored people’in «this city and jus think of it! The only reputabl hotel they ever had has_ beer elosed. If this <Anti-Saloor League wants to do the hones thing, and insist on the boarc granting hotel license to one re spectable Colored hotel and two o1 three Colored saloons. The an swer of the chairman of the Excis board is manly and has given thi Anti-Saloon League something t¢ think about. FAIRMONT HEIGHTS. |. The Colored citizens of Fair- mont Heights, Md., are to be con- gratulated in having such a man as Mr. James F. Armstrong at the head of their schools. The Bee from time to time has watched the eareer of this educator and has commended him for the good work he has done and is doing for the Colored people in Prince Georges Co. He has the confidence and respect of the school officials in the country and they know the good work he is dong for his peo- ple. One of the greatest acts that he has ever done was the establish- ment of a ‘Voeational School in Fairmont Heights. DESERVING COMPLIMENT Grand Worthy Seeretary of the Independent Order of St. Lukes received a deserving compliment last Sunday afternoon from the Commissioner of Insurance, Mr. Nesbit. The Colored people in the District of Columbia are pay- ing too much money in these white insurance companies. _ Insurance Commissioner Nesbit intends to inaugurate a plan to protect the Colored people from being robbed. A greater compliment could not have been paid a more worthy person than what Commissioner Nesbit paid Mrs. Maggie L. Wal- ker. — A JUST RETRIBUTION. ‘The honest mind and the true heart never despare. The conscien- tious heart has nothing to-fear. It is only the theif that fears each brush of an officer. It is only the libertine that suspicions the inno- cent and the ingrate that looks only for today. At no time has the ingrate escaped a just retribu: tion. The police department has been ordered to place strict guard over the British, Russian, Turkish, German, French and Austrian Embassies, as threatening letters have been re- cetved by them. | Now is the time to buy bed bug | poison. Comminioner Brownlow Speaks Continued from pace 1 ee ee ee ae fore present to you the Hon. Brown- low, Commissioner of the District of Columbia. - - 4 Mr. Brownlow was greeted with much enthusiasm ang among. other ‘things he said that he was glad to be among the Colored people and espe- cially the Men's Club of this church. He pointed out the benefit the club was to the church and the influence it could exercise {n the community. He gave some advice along voca- tional lines. He thought that a great deal of consideration should be given to vocational training in the public schools; that there were too many professionals being graduated from the schools and not enough carpen- ters, bricklayers and -other trades. He gave some statistics on agricul- ture; what the southern Negro was doing; that he was improving in farm industries from 25 to 30 per cent: that the Negro Is improving in every particular and he was glad to see and would encourage him all he could to advance his Interest. No race of people has struggled harder than the Negro race and their destiny was in thelr hands, The Ne- gro must do right; be Industrious and compete with the white man if he could. When the Negro shows his ability, remarked the Commissioner, to do as other nations or national- ities, there is nothing to impede his progress. 5 After extending his thanks to the Men's Club in the church he thanked the club for having invited him to speak. . Chairman Harris next introduced Insurance Commissioner, Mr, Nesbit. who opened the eyes of the audience. He said that the output of insurance among the Colored people was a great deal more than the input. Thousands of dollars were being paid into white. insurance companies which were many thousand dollars more than what the Colored people have taken out. The distinguished Insurance Commissioner paid a de serving compliment to Secretary Maggie L. Walker ‘being at the head of the Independent Order of St. Lukes and what a fine condition in which he found that organization when he visited Richmond, Va, This is a woman, remarked Commissioner Nesbit, with over two hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the safe of the order, It {s remarkable, and the good condition in which he found the accounts when he visited Richmond Va. Commissioner Nesbit opened the eyes of his hearers, . Mr. W, Calvin Chase, editor of The Bee, and a member of the local bar was Introduced and among othe: things he thanked’ Judge Siddons fo! the interest he took in the Colored people while he was commissioner and for the appointment of two Col ored detectives and the antlcipatior of having a Colored policeman ap pointed which was the last desire o! Commissioner. Siddons when he lefi the office. But, Oh! remarked Mr Chase, Commissioner Brownlow, whe hails from Tennessee and who be longs to an illustrious famntty,*thoapl divided politically, but a true frient of the Colored-race, will see that we shall have five Colored police officers appointed. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Brownlow enjoyed the little sally and heartily laughed. Yes, mj friends, the Men's Club in this church can do great work. It should have had a petition in readiness today and presented the distinguished Commis stoner requesting the appointment o a few representative Colored men te Tepresentative places. I have grea hopes for the Colered people unde! Commissioner Brownlow, and I wan’ to extend to him the thanks and grat itude of the ninety thousand Colore ‘|people of the District of Columb: for what he has done and intends 4; | do for them. |. The exercises throughout wer ‘highly enjoyed by the Commiasione’ ; a his friends who accompanie || him. . 8 Dr: Malikiah M. Lucas was born in Fairfax county, Virginia, and come to this city in 1896, He was a poor boy and found with Dr. W, S. Richardson, one of the best-known pharmacists in the United States and whose name is a household word in the southwest with all classes. Dr Lucas worked his way through the high school in Fe LS — | a aR Yd oN y | this eity and attended Howard Untver- sity Medical College from which he graduated. Since his graduation he has had quite a practice, which has en abled him to purchase his own home where his office Is now, 456 K street, southwest. This young man owes his success and rise in life to Dr. Richard- son who knows no man by ‘the color of his skin. THE PASSING SHOW. (By R. C. Byars.) At tho Howard last week an excel- lent show, featuring the Five Byron Brothers, one of America’s greatest musical acts, and from the amount of applause this act received on thelr opening Monday night meant nothing but success. The five brothers play- ing their unique instrument, styled the |“Dyrondyln,” all at one time was quite a novel idea in the music line. In fact, the act is one of the best seen in this section for many years. Manager ‘Thomas deserves great credit in pre- senting these high-class artists at the high salaried price without a change of price at this dull season. Mr, Frank Byron, one of the most popular citizens in the Capitol, Is the sixth brother, and is making the stay of hls brothers here very pleasant, Austin and Hellan present a good comedy sketch and Hellan imitation of a Colored base ball team in action in great. Hoyt and Starks {s a sister team of merit, and from thelr welcome it is easily seen that they are still remem. bered by the theater-going patrons. The great Kemp, a white artist, does some very good stunts in hand-cuff art. This week the Billy King Players gave the theater-goers a treat. This is a Colored artists that present any thing from musfeal comedy to bigh class Drams. There {s no advance in prices. - Easter week, the Smart Set. Watch this page for bid announcing seat sale, etc. Fiddler & Shelton: Brooks & Bowen are to appear here real soon. The Colored citizens of Loulsville, Ky., have plans under way for the construction of a large and beautiful playhouse on the order of the Howard and have asked Manager Byars of the Howard to make a trip out there with all expenses paid to tell them just what he knows about the business. He admits that he doesn’t know much but is willing to tell them what little he does know for the few days that he will be there. OBSERVATIONS. {By Observor.) 1 have been a frequent visitor at the Howard Theater ever since it opened and more especially since Mr. Andrew J. Thomas has been the sole proprietor.and Mr. Byars the house manager. The young Thomas broth- ers are genial and splendid young men who do all in their power to please the patrons of the theater. Mr. Thomas himself is a pleasing young man and there is nothing that he will not do to please his patrons. I have observed on more, than one occassion a female who makes herself ridicu- lous and acts more like a frightened giraf, would have: the people think that she draws some water. If per. chance an act or a play doesn’t suit her fastidious taste, she would get up, look around like she was about to ascend or descend and do netther, but walk out of the theater, thinking that the people will follow her. If she only knew how disgusting she looks and what the;people thought of these fan. ciful stunts, she would remain at home, because her absence would be more appreciated than her presence. This stunt comes off most any old time.

Speaking about the crowd at the Howard, very play draws its. Mr. Thomas Knows how to please and his house manager, Mr. Byars, {s some manager. It must be given to him. The greatest trouble he has is with many of these high school puplls, boys and girls. He has to work come of them to keep them quict. It taxes his patience sometimes. It shows that many of these boys and girls lack home training. I have made up my mind to call their names some time and let the community see what thelr family raising has been. Iam always pleased to be present at Howard on all occasions, Talking about fashions, I have noticed some of the most refined and cultured young men and women in the world. Society night is generally Monday and Friday nights. All Washington turns out. Seats are at a premium on these nights. Wednesday is quite a night but Mondays and Fridays socfety has the craze. Well, there {s a southwest night. Ajl southwest, southeast, and northeast can be .seen in greater numbers on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday nights. My friend, Mr. Thomas, and his assistants know \what the want and they will give it to them. Thaddeus Night School Closes. One of the most brilllant affairs of the season was the closing exercises last Friday night, March 19, 1915, of the Thaddeus Stevens Night School. Captain James F. Oyster, ex-president of the board of education, made an excellent address full of eloquence that was highly appreciated by the yast throng that filled the building. His tribute to the worthy principal, Miss A. E. Thompson, was applauded again and again. ‘BMirs, Susle Root Rhodes of the board of education gave a very inter- jesting address, such as only Mrs. Rhodes can give. Mr. Williams gave a practical talk which showed much thought. Mrs. Baud Simms, a select recita, tlon which was thoroughly enjoyed. Miss C. R. Wilson rendered a solo full of charm and sweetness. aoe Webb, an appropriate recita jon. 5 Mr. Lacy and his orchestra, with the pupils of the school, furnished the music. A toothsome repast was served, consisting of rolls, angel cake, ice |cream, macaroons and other dainties made ‘by the pupils of the domestic |sclence department. \ This exhibit was a credit to the teachers, Miss A.

If Superintend. ent Thurston doesn't recommend the necessary changes, the entire school system will be placed under one head with a new superintendent of schools. ‘Those most prominently spoken of as the successor of Rosco C. Bruce, are Prof. Montgomery, Prof. L. M. Her: shaw, Prof. Gregory or some other ac. ceptable educator. There will be rec ommended at the next Congress that manual training -be merged with the vocational schools with one prac: tical head. Conditions have arisen that-the resignations of Dr. Childs and Marshall will be requested. At any rate Childs and Marshall will not be reappointed at the expiration of their terms. Conditions in the Colored schools are getting worse.

Iron can be made rust proof by heating it red hot and brushing it with linsseed oil. There are more Negro women than white women in South Carolina and Mississippi. "When a bit of sunshine hits ye, After pasin' of a cloud; When a bit of laughter gits ye An' yer spine is' feeling proud; Don't fergit ter up an' fling it At a soul that's feeling blue. For the minit that ye sling it, It's a booering to you." A good salad dressing can be made of almost anything, but the best imitation of the genuine can be manufactured by taking two cupfuls of gasoline, a pint of ammonia, three tablespoonfuls of cod liver oil and a jigger of axle grease. "White outing flannel makes excellent dish cloths. They are durable, also softer for glass and fine china." We do not count the man we hang; we count the others by him. Rev. Edward Rice, pastor of Union A. M. E. Church, Chester, Pa., called on one of his members last Friday. He returned home speechless. His case is puzzling physicians. An elderly farmer drove into town one day and hitched his team to a telegraph post. "Here, here," shouted a burly policeman, "You can't hitch there." "Can't hitch there!" shouted the frate farmer, "well, why have you got a sign up, 'Fine for Hitching.'" The Colored people who attend the white churches at Greencastle, Ind., are now escorted by the ushers to the very front seat and are made very welcome and even asked to return.

HAVE YOU AMERICANITIS? Overwork and Overeating Cause It. Baseball or Golf May Cure It. Chicago.-Americanitis, a mental affection caused by too much work, too much food and too little exercise, is responsible for 80 per cent of all diseases in this country "which cannot be classified as either surgical or infectious." So announced Dr. William S. Sadler a nerve specialist, in an address to the Chicago Underwriters' association. But the gradual cure is easy. "A game of baseball, a round of golf or a long walk in the country will do more to cure Americanitis than all the medicines the doctors can hand out," said Dr. Sadler. He prophesied that soon a slickly man would not be able to borrow money nor get commercial credit, for banks and business houses will keep as close track of the physical condition of borrowers and time customers as they do now of their clients' financial standing. MUSIC MAKES HAIR GROW. Boston Holds Out Hope For the Bald Among Us. Boston—Bald men, if you would have your hair return go in for music. At least that is the cure prescribed by Dr. R. Kenrick Smith, a prominent Back Bay physician. The peace, harmony and joy of music are what make musicians' hair grow long, according to Dr. Smith. He says: "If fright or grief will turn the hair white, which we all know sometimes occurs, why is it not perfectly logical to assume that the opposite extreme, that is, the tranquillity, peace, harmony and joy of music would tend to produce an opposite result? "An expert statistician, after months of labor, announces that only one of every hundred devotees of music is hairless, while in every other profession eleven in every 100 are bald. This may, in part, be due to the habit traditional to musicians of always brushing their hair backward." MOTHER AT COLLEGE WITH THREE CHILDREN Finds It Hard to Keep Up With Daughters and Son. St. Paul, Minn.—When three children in the family are graduated from high school in the same class the thing for the mother to do is to take them to college, according to Mrs. W. S. Aldrich of Tithechester and also of the University of Minnesota. Furthermore, if the mother has the inclination, she should attend college herself, is the even more radical statement Mrs. Aldrich made. She is putting into practice what she advises. "It makes you feel younger. Positively it does," Mrs. Aldrich assured her visitor, after the strain of the week's examinations had passed. "But it's no snap keeping up with the youngsters," Mrs. Aldrich went on. They're fresh from high school and it takes a good deal of concentration to get back to studying after you've been out of the habit for a good many years. I enjoy it, though, and I intend to keep it up. I'm going to have plenty of use for what I get here," she said optimistically. Mrs. Aldrich, registered in the university directory as an unclassed academic student, is accompanied by two daughters and a son, all enrolled in college courses at the university. Miss Mary E. Aldrich is taking a combined academic and music course. Miss Miriam Aldrich is a regular academic student. S. Allen Aldrich, the son, has gone in for agriculture. All three are members of the class of 1918. They are freshmen this year. During the first semester the Aldriches avoided persistently every attempted interview. Their rather novel venture they desired subject to no "I told you so" sympathizers in case any of them found the work at the university too difficult. Even with the passing of examination week and the personal belief on the part of the Aldriches that they had passed the ordeal successfully, there was no opportunity to gain a word from them. "But there's one fact, I assure you," Mrs. Aldrich added finally. "It's a genuine rest laying aside the books once in awhile and taking a bit of genuine recreation doing housework." WARS WITH THIRTY PEOPLES Statistician Gives List of Those Now Fighting Germany. Berlin.—A statistician of the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung has just completed a tabulation according to which Germany is now fighting thirty nations and tribes. He enumerates them as follows: English, French, Russians, Australians, Japanese, Canadians, Scotch, Montenegrins, Turkomans, Anamites, Cossacks, Yakuts, Gonds, Senegalese, Belgians, Fijis, Welshmen, Zulus, Irish, Burmese, Portuguese, Rajputs, Sikhs, Kyheri, Turtars, Usbsers, Kalmucks, Kerghis, Baluchi and Basurs. London. Well to do Germans ineligible for military service are crowding into Sweden and Norway in order to leave fewer people to feed at home while the war is on, it is said. ADOLPH SAVES WORDS. Letters to His Wife Tells of Being Awarded an Iron Cross. Frankfort.—A young peasant from a Baden village has fought in the war from the very beginning and was finally in Flanders, says a dispatch to the Frankfort Gazette. In three months he has written two letters. The first read: Dear Wife—I am still alive, and I received the package. If the boy is bad whip him. Greetings. ADOLPH. The second did not differ much from the first: Dear Bertha—I am still alive, which surprises me very much. If the boy is still bad whip him again. Greetings. A few days ago a photograph came from a hospital in Heldelberg. On it the young wife saw her husband with a number of others, and on his breast was the iron cross. On the back of the picture was written: Dear Bertha-I was wounded. Am well again. Tomorrow I'm off. If the boy is bad take him by the ears. Greetings, ADOLPH. His wife wrote him asking him to at least let her know how he had received the iron cross. He replied: That business of the iron cross was very simple. The major called me. I had to stand still and the sergeant pinned it on. Greetings, ADOLPH. JAP. IS POTATO KING. Denied Credit a Few Years Ago, He Now Ranks at a Capitalist. Lodi, Cal.-Reading a story of the visit of George Shima, the potato king of this section, to Los Angeles in a paper of that city, merchants of Lodi recall that not many years ago the Japanese capitalist could not obtain credit in the stores of this city, not because he was not honest, but as a newcomer he had not established credit. Those business men who refused to trust did not anticipate that in a few years Shima would control 37,000 acres in California and have 6,000 acres in his own holdings and have established a large credit in California banks. Last July Shima owned about a quarter of the 4,000,000 sacks of potatoes in California, and today he owns half of the 500,000 sacks unsold in the state. AUSTRIAN CHILDREN TRAINED AS FARMERS All Between Twelve and Fourteen Years Quilt School Venice, Italy.—Advices from Vienna disclose that next to her efforts in the field of war Austria-Hungary is now devoting her greatest energies to agriculture. An announcement put out by the government on the subject of labor says: "If we can obtain sufficient labor the next harvest is assured." The war having robbed the country of most of its ablebodied men, tens of thousands of boys and girls have been released from the schools, and, together with the married women, they are being pressed into service. By a special decree of the Austrian ministry all children between twelve and fourteen years of age are excused from school work, and this host of child labor is being organized systematically like an army. The older boys are acting as officers. The purpose is to send these young people out into the fields in order to obtain the best possible results in the agricultural regions where labor is most needed. Certain peasant laborers in the agricultural regions where labor is most needed and not serving in the army have been unwilling to work at the old wages. They demanded higher pay. This made necessary legislation whereby they are now being compelled to labor at the old wages. It is alleged in both Vienna and Budapest that any refugees from Galicia who have money are employing their funds in speculation in foodstuffs. Not only are the people indignant, but the authorities as well. Exploiting the necessities of the small storekeepers and the consuming public is regarded as a poor return for the shelter and hospitality offered to the tens of thousands of the half starved fellow countrymen of these Galicians. DIVER SEEKS $200,000 GOLD Gets Permit to Salve Russian Sloop Lost Sixty Years Ago. Port Townsend, Wash.-C. F. Stagger, the marine diver, received an official permit from the war department to salve the Russian sloop of war Neva, wrecked off Cape Edgecombe, near Sitka, Alaska, about sixty years ago. The Neva was en route to Sitka with about $200,000 in gold to pay the crews of the government vessels stationed at Sitka and other government officers. After striking the reef she was abandoned and later sled into deep water. The Russian government tried to secure the gold, but abandoned the effort for lack of a proper wrecking outfit. Mr. Stagger will begin work about May 1. Prisoners Are Married London—Escorted by armed guards, four German prisoners of war left a prison ship at Southend, married girls to whom they were engaged before the war, had a wedding luncheon, with the guards as guests, and then separated, the brides returning to London and the bridegrooms to prison.

When we turn over the leaves of the history of Mother Earth and, observing how races, formerly disintegrated in manners and sentiment, but eventually molding themselves together into a common racial character; how, by such common character, they have set the pace in world civilization and progress, time is rife for Colored Americans, too, to adopt such a pattern. Look at England. When William the Conqueror invaded her, he found there twenty-two different "nations," all differing among themselves in language, customs, and laws. All of these twenty-two "nations" were reduced to three in number; all of them he welded together into one common national character and today England not only rules the waves but is one of the most foremost nations of the world. As with nations, so it is with races. Not so long ago the Prussians or Teutons or Germans, as it were, were disintegrated in sentiment. In the Napoleonic wars we find some of them fighting against their Fatherland. But, by being divided against themselves, they found out they could never "reach a place in the sun," In order to make for the Teutons a leading people of the world William II called the great and only Bismark to his aid in 1862, to help weld them into a common national and racial character. This Bismark did with consummate construction and precision. Indeed, the transition was so rapid and thorough that William declared that it was ordained by God that Germany should civilize the world. And that the Teutohs are the foremost race of the world is universally recognized. But how did they accomplish such recognition? They accomplished it by organization and centralization of character. Now, Colored Americans, we can, too, "reach a place in the sun." But we must first dissipate all of our many petty jealousies; all of our personal dislikes and feelings; all of our race indifferences and work together for one common welfare—right to the use of this country. Our fathers bought us an interest in this country. They fought, bled and died for it. Who could be any more entitled to an interest in it than Colored Americans? We must have pioneers, though, to send to-the firing line. Mr. Trotter has volunteered to be one and is working courageously that we might get our due interest in this country. Oh, were there more such men! But let us sternly hold up his hand and maybe, sooner or later, other such men may develop. Our rights are at stake. We must contest every inch—stand up inexorably for what is due us. We must remember that forces, moral and physical, always follow the line of "least resistance." If we adhere to the Trotteronian Principles we can, too, "reach a place in the sun."—PHILIP A. HOLMES. Boston. Mass. REPEAL OF "RULE 45." Rev. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew Denies that Marriage Decreases Efficiency of Women Teachers. Rule 45, which automatically dismisses from the public schools women teachers who marry, was condemned last Sunday night in a sermon at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church by Rev. Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, the pastor. "The Board of Education has made a grave mistake in prohibiting married women from teaching in the public schools," he said. "I am most unalterably opposed to the statement made by certain members of the board to the effect that if wives were employed the nation would die. This statement is inconsistent with the Holy Bible, which teaches that Almighty God alone knows when the nation will die. As to a teacher's efficiency decreasing 100 per cent after-marriage, the splendid work now being done by married women teaching in the schools speaks better for itself than any word of praise of mine. "I believe the American people soon will voice the sentiment that if married women were allowed to teach in the public schools throughout the United States, the standard would be higher in every way. In every department of the government married women are employed, many of them having children to rear and support. This they do splendidly and nobly, without neglect to home or husband, and the same is true of the married woman teacher. Since a nation cannot rise higher than its women, it beooves every right-thinking citizen, 4. Literary Department. 5. Department of Music. 6. Department of Literary Training. 7.

Phone, Lincoln 916 W. 1109 Eye Street, Northwest regardless of race or creed, to protest against the action of the board in eliminating married women from its schools. "I have in mind now a married woman teaching in the schools, who has supported her fatherless children, educated them and maintained a home for them, and today these young women are among the teaching force. I believe that in the fight I make for the married women in the schools, I voice the sentiment of every God-fearing person in this country."

Many pioneer residents of the state can remember when Wisconsin was spelled that way, but W. F. Scaley, county clerk, has discovered a document which provides better evidence than memory. It is a certificate of election issued to Paul D. Hayward as justice of the peace in the township of Stockbridge, dated June 2, 1844, and signed by Duane Doty, then territorial governor. Each of the three peoples who have successively occupied the state, Indians, French and Anglo Saxons, have left us in their names a record of their first impressions and sometimes even a trace of legendary history. The name of the state and of its greatest river, Wisconsin, is a corrupted form of an Indian term whose exact meaning is now unknown, though it has usually been translated "gathering of waters." Oulsconsin, Wisconsin, Oulsconching, Oulskensing, Wiskansan are a few of the spellings which appear in old documents and on time stained maps before the present form was evolved. The name of the largest lake within the state, Winnebago, suggests an interesting history of the Indian tribes whence it came. The original Algonquin form was "oumlpegou," meaning "men of the ill smelling water," a name which the tribe gained from having originally dwelt on the shores of Lake Winnebgo, well known for its odorous suburban springs.

March 21.—Of Pastor Russell's two discourses here today we report the one on Matthew 16.18, 19.

St. Paul declared that the saints of God, the true catholic Church, "are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the Chief Corner Stone." (Ephesians 220.1) The Twelve Apostles are here referred to in their double office—Apostles especially commissioned by the Lord as His representatives, and Prophets, mouthpieces, for the proclamation of the Message to the Church. Jesus, referring to these same foundation stones, pictures the Church of Glory as the New Jerusalem, and its twelve foundations as twelve precious stones, in which are the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb—no more, no less—St. Paul being God's choice to take the place of Judas, the betrayer. To think of St. Peter as the only foundation for the Church would be to deny Christ's teaching and St. Peter's own statement—that the entire Church is symbolically represented as living stones built together by the Lord through the Holy Spirit. (1 Peter 2:4-6). It was a costly mistake when our forefathers, overlooking this well-established point of Scripture, thought of the bishops of the Church as Apostolic Bishops, and took their decisions in counells assembled as the voice of God to and through the Church. The voice of God to and through the Church came only through "the twelve Apostles of the Lamb." All others so claiming are denounced by Jesus Himself as pseudo-Apostles—false Apostles—Rey 22. God's true saints of all denominations should ignore all human creeds and return to the Bible and its declaration of "one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all." Ephesians 4:5, 6. Are we more loyal to human organizations than to God, His Truth, His Church—all saints and one people, imbued with one spirit, the world around—the catholic Church? Power In Heaven and In Earth. As St. Peter, was only one of the twelve foundation stones of the Church, so, likewise, he was only one of The Twelve to whom the Lord declared, "Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven; and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven" (Matthew 18:18) the same statement exactly that on another occasion He made to St. Peter only. But He gave the keys to St. Peter alone. Would it seem reasonable that Jesus should tell the twelve Apostles that God would do anything that they bade Him do—taking to Heaven whom they pleased and excluding whom they chose? Would it be wise or safe to entrust to poor humanity such dictatorial powers respecting the eternal interest of even one individual? Assuredly not! When we remember that these Apostles declared that they were men of like passions with others, that St. Peter himself dissembled on one occasion and on another denied his Master, we are the more convinced that Jesus did not mean that God would abdicate His authority and wisdom in favor of any twelve men. What, then, does the passage mean? We answer. It implies that the Lord would so overrule the utterances and writings of His twelve Apostles as to make them safe guides for His Church. To these Apostles would be given through the Holy Spirit at Pentecost wisdom enabling them to understand which things of the Jewish Law were blinding upon the Church and which not blinding. Their decision would be absolutely right, and the entire Church might have confidence that what the Apostles bound or loosed on earth was equally bound or loosed in Heaven. As an illustration of this binding and loosing, see Acts 15:23, 29. To get back into proper relationship with each other and rid of all sectarian systems. God's people must recognize that only the words of the New Testament Apostles and Prophets are authoritative, properly representing the Divine mind. Other things men have bound and loosed on earth, without recognition in Heaven. The things necessary to the Church are found only in the Bible, as St. Paul declares.2 Timothy 3:16, 17 The Church Upon the Rock. "Other Foundation can no man lay than that which is laid. Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 2:11.) In the Divine arrangement Jesus Christ is the Foundation, the Rock, upon which is built the entire superstructure of His Church—the one Catholic, world-wide Church. On this Rock, Christ Jesus, as St. Peter declares, all the Church is being built as a Temple of God. (1 Peter 2:4-10.) The New Jerusalem, the Church in glory, had twelve foundation stones, built upon the one Foundation Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ. It would manifestly be erroneous, therefore, to suppose that our Lord abdicated His own place in the Church in favor of St. Peter, much as He loved him. What, then, did Jesus mean when He called St. Peter a stone, spoke of building His Church upon "this rock," and declared that the gates of Hell (Hades, the grave) would not prevail against it? We reply, Jesus went down into the prison-house of death, Sheol, Hades, the tomb; but on the third day the gates of Sheol, Hades, were opened, and He came forth. These gates will not prevail against the Church, as they did not prevail against her Lord. This is an assurance of the resurrection of the dead. To understand St. Peter's connection with the Rock Foundation of the Church, we should read the preceding context. The disciples had told Jesus he common talk respecting Himself. He then asked them, "Who say ye that I am?" St. Peter answered, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." This was the first public declaration of Jesus' Messiahship. Even the disciples had only now come to recognize their Teacher as the long-promised Messiah. Jesus answered, "Blessed art thou, Simon, son of Jonas; for flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto thee, but My Father in Heaven. Thou art Peter [n stone, ready for the spiritual Temple, the first one to publicly acknowledge Jesus], and upon this rock [the Truth just declared, that] am Messiah! I will build My Church." In the Greek the word Peter signifies a stone of moderate size, while the word here rendered rock signifies a mass of stone—a foundation. Our Lord Jesus Christ evidently meant that St. Peter's statement was a recognition of Himself as the great Foundation of the Divine Plan—Messiah. Upon that foundation truth, that Jesus is Christ, the Church would be built; and St. Peter was the first living stone to build himself upon that foundation by believing and confessing Christ. St. Peter himself gives us the same thought—that he and all others of the Church are living stones, being builted together as a holy Temple of God. This entire Gospel Age has been devoted to the building of these stones upon that great Foundation Rock, Christ Jesus. As soon as the great Temple of God shall be completed, this Gospel Age will end and the New Dispensation be inaugurated. "The Keys of the Kingdom." The Keys of the Kingdom: To St Peter our Lord said, "I will give the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven" What did He mean? We shall not suppose that any who hear my voice or are sufficiently intelligent to read this discourse in the newspapers are stupid enough to think Jesus meant that Heaven is locked up, and that nobody could get in except as St Peter would open the door or gate. True, some have voiced such fantastic notions. But we refuse to believe that intelligent people could be in earnest in any such view. What the Lord meant is very simple, very beautiful; and we see exactly how it was fulfilled. He indicated that St. Peter, the first to confess Him, was to have a special honor in connection with the inauguration of the Church on earth. By the expression, "Kingdom of Heaven," is meant the Church a class being called out of the world to become with Christ the ruling power of the world during the Millennium, through the great resurrection "change." See 1 Corinthians 15:42, 54. Jesus meant that St. Peter would be honored in being permitted to do an opening work in connection with the Church. The Bible shows us two different opening works and two different keys. The key is a symbol of power or authority or an initiative. St. Peter used his first key of privilege on the day of Pentecost. When the Holy Spirit came upon the early waiting Church, it was St. Peter that used this key. Standing up with the eleven, he lifted up his voice, explained the situation and opened the door to the Church of Christ for the Jews, admonishing them of their opportunity to enter. He told of the merit of Christ's death and how He had risen and had ascended on High, and how forgiveness of sins was, therefore, preached in His name - Acts 2.14-36. The second key to the Kingdom of Heaven—the Church, the embryo Kingdom preparing for glory-St. Peter used three and a half years later. Then the seventh week of Divine favor prophetically appointed to the Jews expired, and the time came that "the Gentiles might be fellow-heirs with the Jews of the same Promise." The opening work was with the household of Cornellus, to whom St. Peter prescheduled Christ. The Lord blessed the preaching and granted the Holy Spirit to Cornellus and his family. Thus the Gentile door into the Kingdom was thrown wide open—Acts 10. Repentance and Remission of Sins. "That repentance and remission of sins might be preached in His name to all people" (Luke 24:47) God never gave power to bishops, priests or ministers of any denomination to forgive sins. "Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Nor did Jesus give authority to His Apostles to forgive sins. They might preach repentance and forgiveness, but only in His name. Any child of God is Scripturally authorized to declare that Christ died for human sin, and has thus made arrangement by which all repentant sinners may be forgiven. It is an honor to be the bearer of such in Message from God to nien; and every child of God is fully commissioned to tell the Divine Message to all who will hear. In proportion as God's people throw away their sectarian spectacles they can read God's Message in the words of Jesus and the Apostles. Let us hold fast the precious Word which Jesus exhorted us to search and which is sufficient that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished. Let us remember that there is only one true Church, each member of which is a saint, related to God and the Lord Jesus Christ through faith, repentance and remission of sin and the begetting of the Holy Spirit; that it is the only Church that is catholic, universal; and that a member of the Body of Christ is a member of that Body anywhere. "Now are ye the Body of Christ, and members in particular"—1 Cor. 12:27 FREE FOR THE ASKING Regardless of what Church you do or do not belong to, a post-card request to Briar St. Students 17 Hicks St. Brooklyn, N.

St. John, St. Peter and the other Apostles, as well as true Christians of all the intervening centuries to the present, have belonged to this Church, the one true Catholic Church, which St. Paul also designated "the Church of the Firstborns, which are written in heaven." —Kebrews 12:21. MEXICO'S LATEST MAN OF THE HOUR SEVENTH LEADER APPEARS. Strong Man of Today Is Well Educated and Has No Desire to Continue War but Only Fights For What He Consider the Best Interests of His Fellow Countryman. Mexico City.—The tragedy of Mexico has a new leading man, the seventh in a period of a little more than four years. He is Alvaro Obregon, the Sonora farmer, who has had a chief place in the news from Mexico for the past few weeks, the man who by his capture of the ancient city of Puebla and his subsequent dictatorship in the distressed City of Mexico has compelled a world, weary of Mexican revolutions, to turn on him, and not Villa, the limelight of notoriety. Of the leading men of the Mexican tragedy Portrio Diaz was the first. Then came Madero, then Pascual Orozco, then Victoriano Huerta, then Carranza, then Villa and now comes Oregon, educated and apparently one of the ablest of the scores of guerrilla fighters who have appeared in Mexican history in the past half century. The Carranzistas admit that their hopes are in this man from Sonora. They call him the "Napoleon of the West." the "right hand of Carranza" and "the general who can read as well as write." Oregon, like Villa, Orozco and Carranza, is a northern Mexican. He comes from the great state of Sonora. [Name] Photo by American Press Association. GENERAL ALVARO OBREGON. which touches the American border west of El Paso. Sonora is a Yaquil Indian stronghold, and -Obregon is proud of the fact that the blood of the Yaquils, among the best of Mexican fighters, is in his veins. However, he is not a full blooded Yaquil, and the fairness of his complexion is due to a liberal mixture of pure Spanish. Likewise he has a little of the Mayo Indian in him. "Paradoxical as it may seem," said Francisco Ellas, an old friend of Obregon and now the Carranza consul general in New York. "Obregon, while our most capable military leader at this moment, is at heart and by training me soldier at all. While acquitting himself with great credit in the campaigns he is conducting to drive Villa and the other enemies of the country out of power, his constant dream is nevertheless one of peace. He is a farmer and always will be one. I know that he hopes some day to return to his Sonora ranch. More tin, once he has expressed his disgust, fare, which he has called a devil in which humans have no buy to indulge. "He is a splendid physical specimen. He is six feet in height and tips the scales somewhere in the neighborhood of 180 pounds." It was not until Orozco, the Chihuahuan who had been Madero's right hand man, turned against his old chief that Obregon decided to take the field. Obregon entered the revolution quietly and without consulting any one. He went among his Sonora Yaquis and armed and organized a battalion of about 400 men. He telegraphed Madero, then in the last days of his presidency in Mexico City, that he had his men and stood ready to oppose Orozco. The man who accepted Obregon's offer was Huerta, then directing the field operations of Madero's armies. Less than a year later Obregon was to be one of Huerta's most persistent military opponents. But now the contest in Mexico is between Obregon and Villa, with Obregon the master in the southwest and Villa still supreme in the northern tier of states. At Pueblo Obregon inflicted a crushing defeat on the Villista force and followed it up by a second entry into Mexico City, which was evacuated by the Villa and Zapata troops. Now it is reported that Obregon has a second time evacuated the capital and that the bandit Zapata is once again supreme there. ROSE GIN HY 216 Hinth Street. N. W.
