FRIDAY The Washington Bee OVER MEAL WHEATLESS WE NO BREAK CRACKER, MASTER OR BREAKING HOUS CONTAINING WHEAT Congressman Richard W. Austin and the Colored Soldiers. His Great Speech in the House of Representatives, June 22nd. VOL. XXXIX. NO. 7 OUR COLORED SOLDIERS Remarks of Hon. Richard W. Austin of Tennessee in the House of Representatives, June 22. Mr. Chairman, I avail myself of this opportunity to submit to the Congress and the American people the testimony of General Pershing on the enviable record being made by four colored regiments now in France on the firing line. The statement of the commander of our forces on the western front will silence the many false reports put in circulation in this country as to the treatment and the conduct of the colored soldiers who are a part of our brave and invincible Army which is maintaining the glorious traditions of the American Army and Navy. Many of these soldiers come from the districts I represent, and I am proud of the record they are making in defending our rights and in doing their best to make the world free and America safe and secure for all time. Here is General Pershing's tribute to these men: to these men. The stories, probably invented by German agents, that colored soldiers in France are always placed in most dangerous positions and sacrificed to save white soldiers; that when to life without medical attention, etc., wounded they are left on the ground are absolutely false. Figures on Their Losses. The following are the losses as reported up to June 18th in the four colored combatant regiments now in France: The 369th Infantry—Died of wounds; 3; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, 2. The 376th Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. The 371st Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 8; severely wounded, none. The 372nd Infantry—Died of wounds, none; died of disease, 3; severely wounded, none. These figures show conclusively that Negro troops have not thus far occupied positions as dangerous as those occupied by white troops and that their physical condition is excellent. A tour of inspection just completed among American Negro troops by officers of the training section of these headquarters show the comparatively high degree of training and efficiency among these troops. Their training is identical with that of other American troops serving with the French Army, the effort being to lead all American troops gradually to heavy combat duty by a preliminary service in trenches in quiet sectors. Colored troops in trenches have been particularly fortunate, as one regiment had been there a month before any losses were suffered. This was almost unheard of on the western front. Tells of Fine Spirits. The exploits of two colored infantrymen some weeks ago in repelling a much larger German patrol, killing and wounding several Germans and winning the croix de guerre by their gallantry, has aroused a fine spirit of emulation throughout the colored troops, all of whom are looking forward to more active service. ward to more The only regret expressed by colored troops is that they are not given more dangerous work to do. They are especially amused at the most dangerous positions and all are desirous of having more active service than has been permitted them thus far. I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops, who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work. In addition to this high praise by General Pershing, I will add the brief judgment of other commanders of the American Army and Navy in some of our previous wars on the faithful services of our colored soldiers: Commodore Perry, after the battle of Lake Erie: "They seemed to be absolutely insensible to danger." General Jackson, after the battle of New Orleans: "You surpassed my hopes. * * * The Nation shall applaud your valor." General Grant, speaking of the Negro in the Civil War: "The colored troops fought nobly." Col. Theodore Roosevelt, speaking of the Negro soldiers in the Spanish-American war: "No troops could behave better than the colored soldiers." Not only in the ranks are the colored citizens of the republic doing their full duty, but in ammunition plants, in the mines, on the farms, and in every line of endeavor they are willingly, cheerfully, and loyally aiding in the speedy and successful prosecution of the war. In my section they have not only furnished their full quota for the army, but have liberally subscribed to the three liberty loans, the Red Cross work and the Army Y. M. C. A. It gives me pleasure to place upon the enduring records of this great government this brief but true and deserved tribute to the loyalty, fidelity and patriotism of the colored citizens of America. (Applause.) THE MAN. "The Negro people of the world over, more than any other race group, lends themselves to service and sacrifice for the love of principle or an ideal. "So, in this hour of our country's trial, if those of us who cannot go to the front can aid in assuring liberty and human equity by wheat conservation, let us eat three kinds of Sel Ciarano Yorris COL CHARLES YOUNG wheatless bread three times a day—cornbread, crust and crumbs. "Considering the deep significance for us of this war, to eat more than our share of wheat bread would place us in the role of slackers, and we would be eating flapdoodle (fool's food). (Signed) "Charles Young, "Colonel, U. S. Army." TO THE COLORED ATTORNEYS OF THE NATION. A meeting of the National Negro Bar Association is called at Atlantic City, N.J., for the 21st to the 23rd of August, 1918. The National Negro Bar Association is an auxiliary of the National Negro Business League, and will meet in connection with the National Negro Business League at Atlantic City, N.J. Every member of the bar in good standing in any State is either a member or eligible for membership. Heretofore when the sessions have been held in the East the attendance has been unusually large, and we trust that we shall not be disappointed in this instance. WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1918 1 At this time, when we have an intensified migratory movement going on, international strife, humiliating segregation and proscriptin by a national party in power in Washington and lynchings and burnings on every hand, not to mention the comparatively tame pastime of legislative enactments inimical to our welfare, it behooves us to get together and take counsel. Messrs. Scott, Banks and Napier are planning a meeting of extraordinary proportions, and as an auxiliary body we want to break all previous records. This, the 2nd day of July, 1918. (Signed) Perry W. Howard, President National Negro. Bar Association, Jackson, Miss.; Wm. H. Harrison, Corresponding Secretary National. Negro Bar Association, Oklahoma City, Okla.; S. D. McGill, Recording Secretary National Negro Bar Association, Jacksonville, Fla. . MOTON AND SCOTT. A great deal has been said concerning colored leadership and, but little credit is given to men who are the representatives of the people. Whatever Dr. Moton's faults may be, he is no coward, and neither is he a trimmer. The more The Bee sees and comes in contact with him the more he is admired and respected. So it is with Mr. Emmett J. Scott, the assistant to the Secretary of War. There is but one thing The Bee would suggest to both of them, and that is, eliminate the "has beens" or the played-out politicians who have no standing at their own home and but little in this city. This class will attempt or will do more harm than any other class in the United States. The men who whisper about other men's qualities and standing are dangerous elements in society. Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott will no doubt be invaded by such individuals. The fawning and patronizing politicians are dangerous to society and a menace to any class of men. Messrs. Moton and Scott are two of the most level-headed men in the colored race. Both are void of meanness and trickery. Both are honest. For them to continue to succeed they must get rid of the eating cancers that menace every good man. Leadership among colored people is the so-called officeholder and those who seek office and arrogate to themselves superiority over the real men. Good men are badly advised at times and make such blunders that they cannot overcome. Men should be selected to do things who have merit and force and not from favoritism. This is only a friendly suggestion to The Bee's good friends, Dr. Moton and Mr. Scott, which we hope they will understand. HOTEL DALE. Cape May, N. J.; July 8.—Guests at the Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J., during the ast-week were as follows: Mr. Clayton Holmes and Mr. E. H. Bingham, New York City; Mr. Wm. Hendricks, Rochester, N. Y.; Prof. R. Deane, Troy, N. Y.; Mr. and Mrs. J. A.

INSTALLATION SERVICES BY DAUGHTERS OF SPHINX Installation services were held on Sunday, June 30th, at the Masonic Temple, 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W., by the Courts of the Daughters of Sphinx. The services were conducted by the Supreme Grand Matron, Daughter R. E. Brent. Noble H. C. Scott was master of ceremonies. The following officers were elected: White Veil Court No. 1—Matron, Mrs. Miner. Queen of Sheba No. 2—Matron, Mrs. Smith. Lily of Nile No. 3—Matron, Mrs. Curtis. Lily of Nile No. 3—Secretary, S. B. Huff. Lily of Nile No. 3—Treasurer, S. Stoops. Mrs. Sarah Reynolds, high priestess of Lily of Nile Court No. 3, made a beautiful presentation speech to their past matron, Mrs. Aetia Oram, 939 T Street N.W., for excellent and untiring services rendered during her five years of service as matron. She served with credit and wonderfully built up the courts. A purse of $10.00 was presented her. Mrs. Oram responded with a beautiful speech. Address was delivered by Mrs. Reed, member of Lily of Nile Court No. 3. TO WELCOME NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Atlantic City, N. J., July 6.—Elaborate preparations are being made by the various committees of the local Negro Business League of this city to welcome the National Negro Business League, which will meet here August 21, 22, 23, 1918. His Excellency, Governor Walter E. Edge, of Jersey City, has consented to deliver one of the addresses of welcome, and His Hönör, Mayor H. Bacharach, has also consented to speak on the opening day. Other features of the day will be yachting trips and a reception at the City Hall to the delegates by the Mayor of Atlantic City and his staff. Mr. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn., president of the National League; Dr. R. R. Moton, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, chairman of the executive committee, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, secretary, together with the other officials, are working out the details of the program, and the session promises to be one of vital interest to the race. His Appointment as Captain Creates a Sensation. The appointment of Dr. DuBois, editor of the Crisis, has created the wildest sensation throughout the country. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is now looking for an editor to succeed him. Who will it be? Will Dr. DuBois resign? That is the question. The names of more than a dozen men have been suggested. Some of the best known colored journalists have been mentioned to The Bee, but at this time The Bee deems it unwise to publish them. Rev. W. H. Jernagin, who is touring the South in the interest of the National Race Congress, is meeting with great success. Large crowds are greeting him. He will return to the city and fill his pulpit Sunday, July 25th. SOLDIER OR EDITOR? New York, July 8.—The Executive Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met this week and decided that Editor DuBois of the Crisis may take his choice of declining the appointment of captain in the Army or resign the editorship of the Crisis. It is now up to Mr. DuBois. SATURDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKED, BREAD OR BREAKFAST LOOKS CONTAINING WHEAT JOHN W. CONNOR A True American and the Coming Man. Hon. John W. Conner was born on a farm near Knoxville, Tenn. He is the son of an ex-Union soldier, the late Joseph Wesley Conner, who enlisted as a private in the Sixth Tennessee Infantry, United States Volunteers, and lost his life at the battle of Resaca, Ga. Mr. Conner is widely known and has held many public positions of trust and honor. For eight years he was county court clerk of Knox County; was clerk and master of the Chancery Court of the same county for several years. In 1892 he was elected a delegate from the Second Congressional district of Tennessee to the National Republican Convention. At the close of the Spanish-American War, President McKinley appointed Mr. Conner auditor of the Department of Posts for Porto Rico. During his administration as auditor he organized and perfected an auditing system that is used in many of the government departments today. Hon. Charles Emory Smith, Postmaster General in McKinley's Cabinet, tendered Mr. Conner the auditorship for the Philippines. This position was declined, as he had embarked in business enterprises. When the Panama Canal Commission was organized, President Roosevelt in an autograph letter offered Mr. Conner the auditorship of that commission, which he also declined. This letter is highly prized and occupies a prominent place handsomely framed on the wall of his study. Mr. Conner took up his residence in the District of Columbia upon his return from Porto Rico, and has made Washington his home since that time. He is a public-spirited citizen, believes in the future of the Capital City, and is a staunch advocate of having a representative in Congress from the District of Columbia. He enjoys the esteem and confidence of many prominent colored citizens in the city. He is a loyal friend and a rock-ribbed Republican. Mr. Conner is the coming Republican leader in the District of Columbia. No man rendered greater service to the National Committee than Mr. Conner. He is an admirer and staunch supporter of the present National Committeeman. EX-SENATOR WM. E. MASON. Ex-Senator Mason has always been a friend to the colored race, having last year worked for the establishment of training camps for colored officers, and recently (June 28, 1918) introduced a resolution which aimed to secure the appointment of more colored clerks under the civil service. He has always been a loyal and patriotic citizen and a real friend to helpless people, regardless of color or condition. The resolution that he introduced in the House of Representatives to insure fair treatment for colored applicants for positions under the Government is worthy of consideration. If there is one man from the State of Illinois who ought to be elected it is Ex-Senator Mason. Let every patriotic citizen show his gratitude. COLORED ELKS HELP Phoebus, Va., July 8.—Mispah Lodge, No. 191, I. B. P. O. of W., of this city, has sent its check for $15.15 to the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee at Washington as a contribution to the fund the committee is raising for needy dependents of colored soldiers. Mispah Lodge has thus maintained the Colored Ells's reputation for responding to sorrow's call and necessity's SATURING SERMONS BY UNUS And he played on a harp of a thousand strings. By Unus. FALLACIES. No. 3. Kinds of Fallacies. Many attempts have been made by writers to classify fallacies. The earliest attempt of which we know was that by Aristotle. A perfect classification of them is impossible, because some fallacies overlap one another to some extent, and some are due to more than a single cause. I have examined a number of treaties on the subject and have found no two that agree on a classification, and even where there is substantial agreement in this, there is some difference as to the names given well-known fallacies. Most modern authorities divide fallacies into two main classes: (1) Formal (or logical) fallacies, (2) Material fallacies. The former are violations of the rules of the syllogism; the latter not necessarily. Bishop Whately, writing in the early part of the last century, was the first modern to make a satisfactory improvement on Aristotle's classification. He also introduced a division which he called Semi-logical fallacies. Mr. J. S. Mill presented a new and original plan, which, however, is not commonly followed. I have so much respect for Mr. Mill's acumen and judgment that, although I shall not deem it advisable to follow his plan, I think it useful to give a brief indication of what it is. Mr. Mill analyzes and coordinates fallacies and then proceeds to discuss them under the following heads: 1. Fallacies of simple inspection, or a priori. 2. Fallacies of observation (inductive). 3. Fallacies of generalization (inductive). 4. Fallacies of ratiocination (deductive). 5. Fallacies of confusion. Mr. W. S. Jevons gives some tables of fallacies which are a fair representation of Aristotle's plan as amended by Whately and others and as now somewhat commonly accepted. Here they are: Formal or Purely Logical Fallacies. 1. Fallacy of four terms. Breach of Rule 1 of the syllogism. 2. Fallacy of undistributed middle. Breach of Rule 3. 3. Fallacy of illicit process, either of the major or the minor term. Breach of Rule 4. 4. Fallacy of negative premises, which is a breach of Rule 5, as well as breaches of Rule 6, to which no distinct name has been given. Under this head may also be resolved breaches of Rules 7 and 8 of the syllogism. The rules of the syllogism were printed in my talk, in The Bee of June 8th. 1. Fallacy of equivocation. 2. Fallacy of amphibology. 3. Fallacy of composition. 4. Fallacy of division. 5. Fallacy of accent. 6. Fallacy of figure of speech. Material Fallacies. 1. Fallacy of accident. 2. The converse fallacy of accident. 3. Irrelevant conclusion (ignoratio elenchi). 4. Petitio principii (begging the question). 5. Fallacy of the consequent (non-sequitur). Some other fallacies whose names are familiar are not mentioned by those names, but they are included. I hope to notice them all in due turn. It would seem that all fallacies could be exclusively grouped under the three following general heads: 1. Fallacies from ambiguity of one term. 2. Fallacies from a term undistributed. 3. Fallacies from improper premises. OPPORTUNITIES. No.1. The Churches. The first and foremost opportunity of the colored people in the United States for business advancement is to be found in the colored church organizations. 1. The colored church organizations ramify the entire colored population, are in the closest touch with the masses, and are influential with the masses as no other agency. The colored church bodies, or the most of them, have passed the experimental stage and are now on a stable basis. The colored church organizations have trained a vast number of men and women to be skilled in financial and managerial matters. The colored church organizations are in the very best position to lead the colored people in general financial matters. The idea is not a new one. Notable precedents are the theocracy of the Jews and the semi-theocracy of the Mormons. Those systems utilized religion partly to earthly ends. 2. The colored church organizations, now devoted solely to religion, social cultivation and in many instances very trivial things, should take on an additional responsibility and task. Religion, social cultivation, psalm singing and church bazaars now claim an undue proportion of the time and attention of our talented church men and church women. In other words, the future life and present social enjoyment receive a devotion at the expense of earthly material development and progress; the industries and commerce are neglected. The colored church organizations could help to foster industries and commerce among the colored people without any impairment of the effectiveness of their religious and social work. 3. Every extensive church organization, or large congregation, should be a gatherer, conserver and controller of capital, and be to a large extent the center of business power and activity. It enjoys the best opportunity in its community to do it, because in the present day it has the widest influence. It has the time to do it. It has the ability to do it. To do it would not be to lessen the spiritual activity of the church. It would mean vastly increased temporal riches for the pastors, the elders and the laymen. 4. Every extensive church organization, or large congregation, should establish in the church edifice, or near by, a society for savings, or a building association, or a savings bank. The money thus gathered should be employed to advance the business interests of the church community. It would belong to the depositors, and should be loaned on good security to promote the interests mentioned. This is the best opportunity open to our colored people that we can now think of. In this connection we invite special attention to another article in this issue on "Capital vs. Money." G. P. O. NOTES. Miss Pauline Stewart and Miss Anna E. Stevenson were guests of honor at the 151st Depot Brigade last Saturday at Camp Meade, Md. Both expressed themselves as having spent a very pleasant evening. The death of Miss B. Campbell was a shock to her many friends. A collection of $20 was sent her during her illness by her G. P. O. friends. Miss Sadie Jackson made a flying visit to Pittsburgh, Pa., and Camp Upton. While away Dan Cupid played an important part. Miss Esther James, who has been sick, is much improved and able to be at work. * * * It is rumored that Miss R. B., of the midnight force, and Corporal R. J., of Camp Howard, will soon join in happy wedlock. Her G. P. O. friends wish her good luck. * * * It was through the good will and untiring efforts of Messrs. Henson and Taylor that we derived the benefit of the recent raise. By way of appreciation $27 was collected and presented to them from the G. P. O. Miss Pauline Stewart of Thirteenth WAR SAVINGS SONGS. (Written for the War Savings Societies of Greater New York.) STAMPS! STAMPS! STAMPS! (Tune of "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching.") What is this new cry we hear, falling loudly on the ear, "Save and serve and win the war," it seems to say. Simply use a little thrift, give old Uncle Sam a lift, Help support our gallant boys so far away! Buy a stamp and win the war—that is what your money's for, And you'll get it back with interest bye and bye! Who's to buy our boys their guns, which they need to fight the Huns? Who's to send the food and uniforms across? Aren't you going to lend a hand, for the safeguard of the land? Buy a War Stamp—that's a gain and not a loss! Sing a song of serve and save, Though thrifty we are gay; We're bound to beat the Germans, And our boys are on their way; We've pledged to save our pennies, And they're pledged to save the day, While we go marching to Victory. monus: I'll get the Kaiser yet, War Stamp is our bet; we'll find the country pays its debt, to Victory. our stand, a till night; to war, y fight! dingy, monor bright, to Victory. Hurrah! Hurrah! We'll get the Kaiser yet, Hurrah! Hurrah! A War Stamp is our bet; In nineteen-twenty-three we'll find the country pays its debt, While we go marching to Victory. Side by side we'll take our stand, We'll save from morn till night; Though we cannot go to war, We'll make our money fight! Our clothing may grow dingy, But we'll keep our honor bright, While we go marching to Victory. as her house guest Mrs. Mr. M. Marcellus Walker, of Baltimore, of Eagle Rock, Va. is spending a few days with sited her son, Lieut. M. C. Rev. and Mrs. Johnson. Dr. George E. Haynes, director of colored economics of the Department of Labor, has just returned from an extended trip into several States, where he met in conferences and interviews at different points in each State a number of representative white and colored men and women, to discuss with them the plans of the department for improving local labor conditions. The director visited points in Virginia, North Carolina, South-Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky. He is also in correspondence with persons in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois for the purpose of similar visits to those States. TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG. There are so many so-called hairgrowers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Ointment, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th St., New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper. PEOPLE'S DRUG STORES.

Close to $1,000 was raised by the workers of the Galloway M. E. Church, Rev. Julius C. Johnson, Jr., pastor, in a grand queens' rally which ended in a patriotic concert on Monday, June 24th. Mrs. Mattie Hunter was crowned victorious queen by virtue of raising the largest sum, $308.35. Mrs. Hunter represented America as queen, and Prof. E. B. Henderson responded to the call of America on the program with a speech on full and new freedom for all Americans. Mrs. Mary Carpenter, representing Belgium, was second, and Mrs. F. Coates was third, as queen of Africa. The crowning of the queens was the feature of the evening. After being escorted to the platform by the Odd Fellows of Merrifield and Falls Church, a concert of music and speeches was held, and then the amounts were read and amidst great enthusiasm the victorious queen received a gold crown and each other queen a silver crown with a gold star. The reports were as follows: Mrs. Hunter, America, $308.35; Mrs. M. Carpenter, Belgium, $177.76; Mrs. F. Coates, Africa, $153.05; Mrs. F. Summerall, England, $94.25; Mrs. Ruth Scott Jackson, France, $52.86; Mrs. L. Tarver, Asia, $42.05; Mrs. A. Carver, China, $33.85; Miss Helen Robinson, Russia, $33.60; Mrs. M.

Conference without giving French officers who were to Secretary of War Baright and JUSTICE, George Creel, whose sympole omission. As an epoch-making one No more notable conference was ever held in this or any other city in this country in which colored men participated than the one held here recently at which more than forty representative colored newspaper men were present. Never before in the history of the country were colored men invited to Washington by the Government to discuss problems and questions which so urgently demand adjustment and answering. These men came here possessed with but one idea, one desire—to serve both their race and their country, and without proving false to either. All through the conference, which lasted three days, and which was addressed by some of the highest white officials of this country, as well as high representatives of France, there was dominant a spirit of loyalty—loyalty to the race as well as loyalty to the country—and not a single colored representative, was derelict in stating just what is necessary to make the race feel it is a part and parcel of this great country and a welcomed contingent in the ranks of the Allies to help down Prussianism. These men were invited here by the Government to tell frankly, without exaggeration, or without minimizing, the real grievances that might possibly stand in the way of a most enthusiastic cooperation on the part of the race with the war aims of the Government. Among them were radicals and ultra-radicals, pacifists and conciliators, but each and every one submerged his individual views to the will of the majority, and the will of the majority—a unanimous will—was that we should AND MUST HAVE a free democracy here at home while our men are fighting, offering their blood and lives, "over there" in France to democratize an entire world. That much good will eventuate from that conference there is not a particle of doubt in the minds of those who were parties to it and who know and understand the signs of the times. As the resolutions adopted and transmitted to the parties responsible for the conference and which were but a summarization of the sentiments expressed by those present well and properly stated: "The American Negro does not expect to have the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold up a striving country and a distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty, * * * but he is compelled today to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an efficient fighter for victory." Accompanying the resolutions was a bill of particulars citing the things making for unrest among colored people and which ought to be, and the race expects will be, corrected NOW; and not allowed to continue until after the war—to continue while the best blood of the race is being spilt freely and cheerfully to make the world safe for democracy in the anticipation that this democracy will be safe for humanity when humanity wears the clouded livery of the burnished sun. To refer to that conference without giving a word of praise to Emmett J. Scott, to the French officers who were present and spoke so encouragingly, and to Secretary of War Baker, who has demonstrated that he is for RIGHT and JUSTICE, without reference to race or color, and to George Creel, whose sympathy is unquestioned, would be an unpardonable omission. That conference was an epoch-making one. CAPITAL VS. MONEY. The first and foremost business need of the colored people of the United States is capital—capital as distinguished from mere money. It is probably no exaggeration to guess that the colored people have on deposit in the white banks of the United States at least one hundred million dollars. That is good as far as it goes. But this money affords the colored people themselves very little business or economic power. Our good Brother in White employs it to augment his own power. This money of ours in the white banks and as employed by them, is capital. They use it to promote large business enterprises of their own. Though the money is ours, yet to us it is merely money, not capital. This reminds us of the dialogue in Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe," wherein the difference between swine and pork was explained. Pork was the swine (hog) after it was dressed and placed on the table before the master. Capital is the SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 1.00 .50 .20 D. C., JULY 13, 1918. A OF COLORED MEN.

Here is another special definition of capital: Capital is money, or the equivalent of it, in an amount adequate to a given business end, under the control of the man who needs it, or readily available for such control; it is mobile money in large sums. The colored people make a good deal of money and possess a good deal of money (in banks). but for the reasons stated it is not their capital—not available to them in large sums for large enterprises. Few are able to borrow even small sums from the banks—not, however, by reason of race, but for other substantial, well-known reasons, "which is another story." The colored people can make no substantial rapid progress along business or economic lines without capital. The greatest economic problem that confronts them today is, How to acquire, control and utilize capital: how to mobilize their own money? The colored people of Washington City, over 100,000, and SHOULD MARRIED WOMEN TEACH? Because of the mooted question as to whether or not married women, who are living with their husbands, should be allowed to teach in the public schools, The Bee opens its columns to its readers for short letters on the subject. There are many well-meaning parents who claim that when a woman who has been teaching gets married she should rely upon her husband for support and not be permitted to continue teaching, thus keeping many young, deserving and well-equipped young women out of the schools. On the other hand, there are many who reason that a married woman, because of her maturity and added responsibilities, makes a better teacher, and these overlook the fact that married women with husbands living who also are breadwinners may be "profiteers" in that they have two sources of income, as against the single young woman having no sure source of income. There are those, also, who reason that when a woman marries she ought to marry a man capable of properly supporting her, and that, under no circumstance, should a teacher marry a man to support him. The whole question, perhaps, forms a debatable one, and without taking one side or the other, The Bee gladly opens its columns to a discussion of the question, merely insisting that all letters must be temperate in tone, containing no abuse; must not exceed five hundred words, and must be signed by the author. In the event the author desires to use an assumed name, he or she may do so, but their right name and address must accompany the article. In such cases the true name of the author will be held in strict confidence. Now, let us have a full, frank, open and honest discussion of the mooted question: "Should married women teach?" --- Because of the mooted question, women, who are living with their teach in the public schools, The Bee for short letters on the subject, parents who claim that when a woman married she should rely upon her permitted to continue teaching, thus ing and well-equipped young women other hand, there are many who recause of her maturity and added a teacher, and these overlook the fact bands living who also are breadwinners they have two sources of income, woman having no sure source of who reason that when a woman may capable of properly supporting her stance, should a teacher marry a man.

Now, let us have a full, frank, the mooted question: "Should marry who doubtless have on deposit in banks at least $5,000,000, ought to have at their command for capitalistic enterprises a borrowing capacity of at least a million dollars yearly for the promotion of their own enterprises. The fact is, they have scarcely any commercial borrowing capacity. This is probably typical of the financial status of the colored people in other communities. One way to control capital is to establish and control more banks and other savings institutions DU BOIS. The appointment of Editor DuBois as captain in the Army will not affect him in the least. The appointment may be a surprise to the colored people, and especially to the members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Editor DuBois is the mouthpiece. He is in a position where he can better serve his people and can do for them now what he would not be able to do through the columns of the Crisis. The advice of The Bee is, don't misjudge Editor DuBois: HOWARD THEATRE. In "The Butterfly on the Wheel," at the Howard this week, Miss Abbie Mitchell gives to the uninitiated in divorce court matters a graphic picture of a woman who has her private life exposed and her spirits torn by a relentless prosecutor, whose severe gruelling caused her to faint and fall at its end. This excellent acting is the big scene of the show, and Babe Townsend shares with the star the good things said about the performance. The story may be told in few words. The husband, too busy to pay attention to his wife; the ready friend who wishes to supply the requisite attention, and the divorce court as the culmination. Tom Brown as the husband does fine work and lends dignity and tact to his impersonation. Olden as the "friend" does good work. De Comathiere makes a fine English lord and furnishes most of the comedy, which is judiciously placed to relieve the tenseness of the situations. Miss Clough, as usual, gives a finished performance. Moores makes a very dignified judge. Cook plays a dual role, but shines as a waiter. The remainder of the cast fill their roles acceptably. A pleasant evening is afforded to those who see the show and the work of the players does not warrant an unfavorable criticism. SENATOR WM. E. MASON. The following letter is sent to the voters of the State of Illinois by Congressman Wm. E. Mason, who is a candidate at large from the State of Illinois for Congress: "Please read the enclosed from the National Republican. My Republican associates from Illinois here in Congress favor my renomination in September for Congressman at Large. They are familiar with my record and know whether I deserve renomination or not. I am anxious to give all of my time possible to war work, and if I can have the endorsement of the Republican Committeeman it will enable me to give my time to this work and make my canvass in your county after the primaries. "You helped me in the last campaign, which I appreciate, and if you will sign the enclosed card and return same in the envelope enclosed, I will be very much obliged. "I assume that you do not credit the statements against me, made simply because I have shown that the Democrats are trying to make political capital out of this dreadful war. My son is at the front in France, having volunteered the day that war was declared, with my consent, and I am fighting here to see that every dollar taken from the taxpayers shall go to the benefit of the boys and not to the grafters. I have criticized only where I thought I could help to win the war. Immediately after war was declared there was a vacancy in the Republican district, in New Hampshire, and the leaders of the Democratic party announced that a vote for a Republican was a vote for the Kaiser, and in elections since, the President has written personal letters, particularly in Indiana and Wisconsin. I have denounced this because my Americanism has always been helped by my Republicanism. If you have any questions to ask, write me and I will answer frankly. "Thanking you for your past friendship, believe me, I will be very much obliged if you will sign and return the enclosed card. "Very sincerely yours, "Wm. E. Mason." "P. S.—Every Congressman who resigned to join the Army was a Republican." FILGRIMAGE TO THE HOME OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS. The Sterling Relief Association, through the untiring efforts of its founder and organizer, Mrs. I. G. Richardson, attendance officer of the public schools, gave a most successful pilgrimage to the home of the late Frederick Douglass on Monday, July 8, 1918. The following program of exercises was rendered: A hearty welcome was extended the guests, which were composed of Washington's leading citizens, by Miss E. A. Chase, principal of the Alfred Jones School. This was followed by able addresses on the life and works of Douglass from Mrs. Josephine Bruce, widow of Senator B. K. Bruce; Mr. John Smith, the efficient statistician and the Franklin School; Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, treasurer of the National Association of Women's Clubs, and her husband, Mr. J. A. Jackson; Mr. Charles R. Douglass, the only living son of the late Frederick Douglass, and last, but not least, Mrs. Rosetta Lawson. All the speakers agreed that our hero, Frederick Douglass, had aided in laying the foundation of the present freedom for which the world is fighting. Sylvester Thomas' Orchestra was in attendance, and refreshments were served. It was an ideal day and an ideal place for such an outing. HON. RICHARD W. AUSTIN. Elsewhere in The Bee is an excerpt from a speech delivered by Hon. Richard W. Austin of Tennessee. It should be read by every colored American in the United States. Mr. Austin should be supported for re-election by every voter in his congressional district. His record in Congress will stand any kind of light thrown on it.

The old adage, "Cast your bread upon the waters and it will be returned to you threefold," appears to be applicable to the Soldiers' Comfort Committee, for their contribution to Camp Pleasant to aid poor colored children was immediately followed by substantial contributions received by the committee from the Colored Women's Council of National Defense at Memphis; Sumner Lodge of Colored Elks at Providence, R. I.; Vehon Literary Club of Norfolk, Va.; Williams Lodge of Colored Elks at Richmond, Va., and from a number of individual contributors, colored men and women, in various parts of the country. Up to date the committee has responded promptly to every appeal for aid. Had it done nothing more than advance $200 to that deserving young colored soldier who had been commissioned an officer from the ranks with which to purchase his outfit its conception would have been justified. But it has also aided needy dependents of colored soldiers in many parts of the country, as well COLORED FARMERS. Colored farmers in Virginia are responding to the demonstration work conducted by the county agents. No less than 4,400 Negro farmers raised practically all their home supplies; 969 opened new bank accounts; and 1,233 increased their bank accounts. John B. Pierce, district Negro agent, reports that the colored farmers are buying improved breeding stock, farm machinery, and have built eight graded school buildings at an average cost of $1,500 each.

"THE OTHER WIFE" Another Surprise Coming to the Howard Next Week. If the patron's of the Howard Theatre enjoy suspense that holds them spellbound; if they want thrills that quicken the action of the heart; if drama with a terrific "punch" has an appeal to them; if they like to laugh and love a story that will keep them guessing and make them wonder just how it all will end, then a genuine treat is in store for them next week, when Manager Levy will present "The Other Wife," one of the most tense and powerful dramas of the modern stage. It has been said of "The Other Wife" that there is not a moment when the custain is up that the audience is not either holding on to their chairs, under the spell of powerful situation after situation, or holding on to their sides and rocking with laughter at the clever comedy and bright, witty lines. Therefore, next week should be a gala one at the Howard, for rarely is a play found that combines so many of the elements that interest as does this remarkable drama from the pen of Mr. Carl Mason. Briefly, the story tells of a young man tricked into marriage with a designing woman, only to be thrown aside as worthless when she learns that he has been disinherited by his wealthy parents. Later young Bevington learns that the woman who has almost wrecked his life has been killed in a railroad accident. He goes to New York and there, under another name, is happily married, and eventually rises to a high position in the legal profession. Years of domestic happiness follow, until on the night of his 18th wedding anniversary, when the former wife, whom he had always believed dead, puts in an appearance and demands that she be accepted as his legal wife. He is almost overcome with grief and desperation, wher his daughter unconsciously suggests a solution by telling him the story of a play she had witnessed that evening-wherein a woman had killed the man who threatened to reveal her past. Prompted by a desperate impulse, Bevington picks up his revolver and goes forth to meet the "other wife." An instant later two shots are heard and the man staggers back to his home firm in the belief that he has himself forever of the spectre that has haunted him. The lawyer resolves that he will not allow another man to suffer for his crime and decides to defend the accused stranger. Owing to the exceptional ability as a lawyer, Bevington succeeds in gaining a verdict of not guilty for his client, when to his amazement the stranger makes a startling confession. It would not be fair to relate here what occurs between the lawyer and his client; it is sufficient to state that the audience is treated to a series of thrills which mere words cannot describe. To be appreciated it must be seen. Manager Levy has been a long time in securing this play for Washington, and knowing its worth, is safe in predicting a big week for it, and therefore advises the many patrons of the Howard that they secure their tickets early. The usual matinees will be given. LOCAL NOTES. Mrs. Sarah Curry spent the Fourth the guest of her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, in Baltimore, Md. * * * Rev. Wm. T.

No Bitterness, No Complaint, No Despair Among People, Many of Whom Were Refugees for Second and Third Time. Paris.—"A thousand refugees from the east of Amiens will pass through Acheres at seven o'clock tonight. They will not have had any supper, some of them may not have had any lunch. There is no food there and no facilities for feeding them. Can you help us?" That was the telephone message from the French minister of the interior which came to the American Red Cross at noon one day during the German drive on Amiens, and the answer was "Yes. Emergency messages are no surprise to us these days." The food was ordered out of the warehouses and a score of volunteers rounded up. They started at six o'clock the same evening. One five-ton truck loaded with tinned beef and condensed milk, figs, prunes, chocolate and heaps of huge loaves of war bread; two carloads of midnight volunteers, stenographers, bureau chiefs, drivers and canteen workers set out on their way to bring help to the homeless refugees. They rolled out through the residential district of Paris, out past the fortifications, bumped through grimy factory suburbs and on into the open country where the level plains stretch off into infinite distance, broken only by interminable rows of slim poplars. Then suddenly without warning, there emerged from the forest into a black smudge of railway tracks, cinders, flat-cars, passenger cars, sheds, platforms, warehouses, cranes—Acheres. It was the junction point, where the thousands of refugees were to stop for half an hour. Saluted With One Arm. Leutenant M—met us there, saluted stiffly with his one arm, and did the honors of the station. A group of weary, muddy "permissionales," most of them over forty, just back from the Champagne front, were routed out to help us establish our tables on the cinders between the tracks, and pile the food where it could conveniently be passed into the train. They unloaded bread, scraped cheese, opened tins of "bully beef," knocked the tops off the boxes of figs and prunes and made plans to feed a thousand people in half an hour. But somewhere off in the silent country the train, packed full of exiles, was standing on a side track. It was after two in the morning when the long train with its 28 carriages filled with refugees came into Acheres. A few windows were opened; tired faces looked out and voices asked, uninterestedly, "Where are we?" and were surprised to be told that they were near Parts. The train was on its way, they said to Tulle in the Correze department, in the south of France. "Will they treat us well there?" an old woman asked and, in the fullness of their ignorance, not daring to say otherwise, answered "Yes." It was a short half hour. They carried them bread, they filled the old woman's apron with figs and prunes, they gave milk to the children, meant to the old men, cheese to everybody. They absorbed cakes of sweet chocolate in a rapid and mysterious manner. Some of them were the much be-petticoated women of Picardy and some were grizzled old farmers. Others were city folk, obviously not used to third class travel. There were families of three generations buddied together on their way—somewhere. Some clutched precious umbrellas, some carried bird cages, some alarm clocks. Some of them had dogs, some had cats. But the pathos of it all was not on the surface. Some of them quietly told that they were refugees for the second and third time and laughed and joked when they woke up. There was no bitterness, no complaint, no despair. The huge pile of bread fell away, the fig boxes were emptied, the tins were all handed into the trains. The engine shrieked a shrill French whistle and the train pulled away. The rescues were in the silence of the night. One of many thousands of refugees had had one dreary midnight meal far from home—one lonely meal out of hundreds, perhaps thousands, before them. A train load of wounded from the front jogged in ten minutes later. The men nurses carried water through the carriages swiftly and elently. Then the Americans handed out the remnants of their stores of figs and the train slipped away again. Behind them could be heard the dull booming of the barrage guns about Paris, and the visitors knew that another air raid was on. They waited until the barrage stopped, then they headed back through the defenses of the capital. There was a faint light as they rode back through the forest. They could see clumps of yellow daffodils utterly oblivious of war. Serbian Lieutenant Tells Stirring Story of War. Lie of Whole Army He Was Selected to Command Bodyguard of Monarch. Bangor, Me.-Among soldiers recently from European battlefields who passed through here was the officer who was selected to command the guard detailed to escort King Peter of Serbia to a place of safety when the Austrian bombardment made it necessary for the monarch to quit the royal palace in Belgrade. This officer is Leut. Pavle Yovanovitch, a map of stately figure and courtly manner, who wears upon his tunic the insignia of the Order of the White Eagle, which is equivalent to the British Distinguished Service Order, and Order of the White Star, which corresponds to the Victoria Cross, besides several gold bars bestowed for service in the Balkan wars. Lieutenant Yovanovitch's narrative of the country's sufferings and despair at the hands of the Teutonic hordes is dramatic and pitiful, a vivid word picture, in very good English, of the gallant fight of the Serbs against overwhelming force. When it became evident that Belgrade must fall preparations were made for safe conduct of King Peter out of the city, and out of the whole Serbian army Lieutenant Yovanovitch was selected to command the body guard, which was of his own choosing—veterans with whom he had been associated in the Balkan campaigns. Austrian shells were crashing and thundering in the outskirts of beautiful Belgrade as the guard of honor drew up at the palace gates, and already the enemy was posting machine guns on roofs within range of the palace. As the king was escorted from the palace to his carriage a hall of bullets swept the plaza, and several of the guards were wounded, including Lieutenant Yovanovitch, but the king escaped injury. When the party had reached a place of safety the king sent for the lieutenant, who came, but fell, faint from the loss of blood, at the monarch's feet. Then and there did King Peter bestow the orders that the veteran wears so proudly upon his breast. Lieutenant Yovanovitch will return to the battlefields. CAMOUFLAGED BIG GUN A Mounted on a specially constructed railroad carriage this big French 400 millimeter gun is ready to bang away at the German forces. It is exceedingly well camouflaged to prevent detection by Boche aerial observers. Guns this size did good work by mowing down at long range the close-packed masses of Germans as they advanced in the latest offensive. Not Entitled to Compensation for Loss, Rules Oklahoma State Official. Oklahoma City, Okla.—A man who breaks his wooden leg is not entitled to compensation for the loss of a leg or the loss of a foot, it was held by the state industrial commission in the case of A. H. Stewart against an oil company. Thirty years ago Stewart lost a leg in a railroad wreck. He whittled out a wooden leg which he used for a leg up until last August when, while in the oil company's employ, he fell from a motor car and broke the pegleg and injured his knee. Stewart took the splinters of his leg to A. A. McDonald, chairman of the industrial commission, and filed a claim for 175 weeks' compensation, as is provided by state law for the loss of a leg. The commission decided that the injured man could not collect 175 weeks' compensation for the loss of a leg or for the loss of the foot 80 years ago. He was entitled to some pay for the injury to the knee, however, it was decided, so he was given the difference between the loss of a leg and the loss of a foot, or compensation for 25 weeks. Systematic Stripping of Industry Before the Day of Reckoning. INDIGNATION IS WIDESPREAD Even Officials Responsible to Kalser's Government. Forced by Public to Give Voice to Emphatic Protests. Amsterdam—German carpetbaggers are overrunning Alsace to grab all property confiscated by the state under various pretexts. Indignation among the people is widespread, and even officials responsible to the kalser's government are forced by public opinion to give voice to emphatic protests. Alsace is a great industrial center and one of its principal industries is the manufacture of textiles. Most of the textile factories in Alsace were taken over by the state as a war measure. As some of the stockholders were Frenchmen, the mills, it was alleged, were partly enemy alien property. So the state took charge of the mills and prepared to liquidate them. This liquidation was carried out recently. Alsatian business men and capitalists had formed a corporation to buy the mills in an effort to keep them in Alsatian hands. Even city administrations, such as the municipality of Muhlahausen, where a number of factories are situated, bought stock in this corporation. The name of the corporation is the United Alsatian Textile Factories. Forbidden by Berlin. But it was decided in Berlin that the Alsatians should not be allowed to buy what was practically their own. Another concern, called the Blechroeder group, was more successful. Their bid for the property was accepted by the government, while the Alsatian offer was rejected. It was announced the Blechroeder bid was preferred because it accepted state supervision as one of the conditions of the sale. Baron von Stein, unders secretary of state, in defending the government's action, before the main committee of the rechstag, said the Blechroeder group had offered a million marks more than the Alsatian corporation. Besides, the Alsatians had refused to subscribe to the conditions, including state supervision of management. Consternation and indignation reigned at the meeting of the city council of Muhlhausen when the government's decision was made known by Mayor Zopfel. He said not only had the offer of the Alsatian corporation, of which the city of Muhlhausen itself was a component part, been rejected by the government, but he also had been informed on good authority all the other Alsatian factors to be liquidated would be sold to "old-German" concerns beyond the Rhine. Ruthlessness Condemned. This attempt to Germanize Alsace by ruthless industrial methods was condemned by several members of the city council. Councillor Emmel denounced as a subterfuge the statement of Undersecretary von Stein, who had said the Blechroeder offer had been accepted because it was the more favorable one. The speaker saw in the government's action a systematic effort to take Alsatian property away from Alsatians. The Blechroeder group, the successful bidder, is headed by the banking house of Blechroeder in Berlin. The original Blechroeder was Prince Bismarck's financial man and his heirs are still in control of the banking house. Old Blechroeder was not very scrupulous in his financial methods, but this did not prevent Bismarck from conferring the title of nobility upon his moneymaker. This was one of the greatest jokes perpetrated by Bismarck. However, Baron Bleichroeder's heirs are still barons and their influence in the highest circles is still formidable. It seems they had little trouble in obtaining the Alsatian properties at favorable terms—favorable to themselves, for to them state supervision means supervision by friends. GAS MASK SQUAD FINDS LEAK IN AMMONIA PIPE Cincinnati—The first run made by the "gas mask squad" of the local fire department was in response to an explosion in an ice plant. The firemen used their gas masks in locating a leak in an ammonium pipe. Not only had the fumes filled the plant, making it impossible for anyone to stay in the building without a gas mask, but patrons in a drug store across the street had to get out into the open air. Los Angeles, Cal.-An army or 1,935 high-school girls of this city have volunteered to harvest crops and will be ready for call by the Woman's Land Army of America after June 21, when the local schools close. By that time the high-school farmerettes expect to have at least 3,000 in their ranks. Red Cross Establishes Truck Farms in France. Supplies Recreation and Employment to Convalescents and Increases Food Supply. Paris.—With a view to supplying recreation and employment to convalescents, and incidentally—increasing the food supply, the American Red Cross has established ten truck farms in connection with base hospitals in France where, under trained supervision, the convalescents are raising vegetables for consumption in the hospitals. The number of farms will be increased during the year, the American Red Cross supplying seed, implements and trained supervision, as well as money for operating expenses. At one place, where there are three base hospitals together, a farm of 100 acres is now under cultivation, though the average farm is about eight acres. Two of the larger farms are equipped with tractors. For the most part, however, the work is hand labor, that the convalescents may profit to the utmost from the outdoor exercise. Owing to climate conditions gardening is an all-the-year-round occupation in France and is carried on in a most intensive way, with every inch of ground under cultivation and rows between rows, as, for instance, cabbages between rows of potatoes. When plants are removed in the morning the ground is worked over during the day and by night the soil is again at work on freshly sowed seed. No charge is made the hospitals for the produce, but accounts are kept and it is expected to show that the farms more than pay for the cost of operation. Through these gardens many French Pollus will have their first taste of the great American delicacy, "corn on the cob." A greater use of a variety of vegetables is made in France than in America and the Red Cross is supplying "seed for beans, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, chicory, corn, cucumbers, leeks, lettuce, melons, mache salad, onions, parsley, peas, potatoes, parsnips, pumpkins, radishes; spinach, squash, tomatoes, turnips, cress, fennel and sorrel. A large amount of the last is used both as a bollied vegetable and in making soup. IF A WATCH IS WEARING APPAREL, THEN HE WINS Wichita, Kan.-Is a watch wearing apparel? That is the question that John Lewis, a Wichita furniture dealer, has asked the courts to decide. Lewis has the business in his wife's name. He has been sued several times lately. In one suit.his watch and all the money that he happened to have with him, 50 cents, were attached. Lewis, through his attorney, claims that the watch is wearing apparel, "adornment," and cites the Century dictionary for proof. BROTHERS MEET IN FRANCE Enlisted Here Unknown to Each Other and Were Sent to Serve Abroad. Sloux Falls, S. D.—Two brothers, one from South Dakota and the other from Montana, had an unexpected meeting at a port of France. The brothers are Otto Hovren of Roberts county, South Dakota, and Cornellus Hovren of Great Falls, Mont. They had enlisted in the service of their country from different parts of the country, unknown to each other, and arrived on the other side only two days apart. The one arriving first had gone down to the steamer landing for the purpose of witnessing the arrival of other American troops. He was standing near a gangway when, in a group of soldiers descending to the deck, he discovered his brother. The brother recognized him at about the same time, and in an instant they were patting and hugging each other after their unexpected meeting in a strange land. Letters telling of the meeting have just been received by South Dakota relatives. ERROR STAMPS BRING $20,000 Inverted Airplane on New Impresionale Creates Big Value—Bought by Colonel Green. New York.—A sheet of 100 of the new postal airplanes stamps, but with the airplane turned upside down through an error made by the bureau of engraving and printing at Washington, has been purchased for $20,000 by Col. E. H. R. Green of Texas, son of the late Hetty Green. Over a window counter at the post office in Washington this sheet sold for $24. So far as is known here, this is the only sheet that escaped the vigilance of the Washington postal authorities. Colonel Green said here he planned to retain a portion of the sheet for his collection and dispose of the other stamps among his friends. It is predicted by philatelists that if the sheet proves to be the only one in existence outside the government ownership, the stamps will attain a philatelic value of $250 each. Red Cross Workers Refuse to Retreat While There Is Work To Do. Incident of Early Spring Offensive of Hung on the Somme That Should Make Americans Proud of Their Men. Washington.—The story of the part America and Americans played in adding the British and the French during the early spring offensive of the Germans on the Somme can never be adequately told. The whole picture is too big to paint on one canvas. It is only by describing the work of individuals and particular groups of workers that some idea of the American effort and its effectiveness in this historic battle can be brought home to the people back home—and then only in a small way. While it is perhaps only a very small incident in the history of that great affair, the story of how a small band of American Red Cross workers "carried on" at one of the evacuation hospitals back of the British front should make Americans proud. When all but a few of the hospital staff had left with the two hundred or more patients and the Germans were advancing only a few miles away, four American army surgeons, assigned to the American Red Cross, for work at this particular hospital, declared their intention of "sticking till h— froze over." And six Red Cross ambulance and truck drivers, as well as several American Red Cross nurses and aldes "stuck" with them. The Americans made their decision not because of sheer bravado, but because the hospital had the opportunity of serving a few wounded soldiers from day to day—and could save their lives. And at this writing these Americans are still there, giving much-needed medical attention to French and British soldiers who are brought back to this hospital because it is the nearest one back of that point of the line. Stay on the Job. The big guns of the British and French have been planted in the rear of it—and then moved farther back. The Boche airmen come over at night. The little group of Americans have seen the troops, guns and transports go by in streams to points in the rear, but as long as the wounded are brought there, these Americans will stay. A few hours after American Red Cross headquarters in Paris learned of the big German offensive, it dispatched eight trucks and motor cars to this hospital to aid in the evacuation of the patients. Night and day the Red Cross drivers worked bringing the wounded from the hospital to Paris. When this had been accomplished the Red Cross cars went out into the surrounding country to pick up the wounded, who were attempting to walk to a hospital, and to aid the refugees struggling along the road. Besides transporting these two hundred or more wounded men to places of safety, the Red Cross cars alced 130 refugees to the railheads in three days. But their work had only begun. Despite the evacuation of the hospital and the consequent order for more of the staff to accompany the patients to points of safety, the wounded kept coming in. Ninety per cent of them were serious cases. Practically all demanded immediate operations. Not simple operations, but major ones, where a steady nerve, delicate touch and sure hand were necessary to give the wounded the best chance for life. Work Night and Day. Night and day the American surgeons worked. There were a few nurses to assist, but all were tired—completely fagged, mentally and physically. Every one needed rest. But there were the men coming in every few hours, their bodies pitifully torn, and suffering untold agonies. So no one thought of stopping, and even when one did get a few hours off duty there were the big guns only a few hundred feet from the hospital. They belched and roared all night. Of course, some of the cases were hopeless, and no amount of surgical skill or medical attention could save them. Here again the American Red Cross men came in for more work. They had to dig the graves and act as pill bearers. One night was especially hard. The doctors were kept busy in the operating room until three o'clock in the morning. The nurses had to have a bit of rest. One nurse only was available. So again the Red Cross drivers were called upon. One became an aid to the operating surgeon, remaining in service until the last wounded man was rolled finally into his bed. Prevents Sugar Famine. Pulman, Wash—Boys and girls belonging to Washington's juvenile clubs are to be enlisted in the patriotic movement to raise sugar beets this year, to be stored and set out in the spring of 1919, to produce beet seed for the spring of 1920. It is expected in this way that the threatened sugar famine may be averted. Method Used to Lengthen Life of Vessels. Turns Seepage Into Brine, Which Acts as a Preservative of the Wood. Seattle, Wash.—C. O. Morrow, president of the Elliottray Shipbuilding company, suffered something of a shock the other morning, but at that it was nothing to the shock suffered by several prominent citizens who were taking a stroll through the company's big wooden shipbuilding plant. The citizens were shocked when they discovered that 20 tons of rock salt is used in building each of the big wooden ships now under construction in Seattle. Mr. Morrow was shocked because his callers' didn't know that rock salt is a shipbuilding material. Everybody on the water front knows that, but it seems that there are a lot of prominent business men who didn't. There is now a suspicion that only a very few residents east of Railroad avenue know that a wooden ship has to be salted. In showing the prominent citizens about his plant Mr. Morrow came to the building in which he stores this rock salt. A railroad car was unloading another shipment. "This is where we keep 'the salt for the ships,'" said Morrow. "Haw, haw!" said one caller, who is something of a humorist. "I suppose you're afraid the ships will get too fresh?" "That's the exact truth," said Mr. Morrow. But the citizens wouldn't believe him until they had examined the salt. Some of them tasted it. The storehouses contained 120 tons. Mr. Morrow explained that the salt is poured between the frames of a wooden ship above the water line and is tamped down solid. Then if any water seeps into the spaces between the frames it is turned to brine and does not damage the wood. Instead, it acts as a preservative. FIRST CONSOLATION Photo by Western Newspaper Union The wounded soldier's first consolation is a cigarette to soothe his nerves and his comrades are sympathetically eager to bring him the comfort. PLAY GAME WITH BIG GUN Frenchmen Wager as to Hour the Bombardment of Paris Will Start. Paris.—A new sport has made its appearance in Paris as a result of the long-range cannon bombardment. One may drop in at any cafe or restaurant any day and find the game in progress. After the dinner or between sips of coffee a paper is passed around with the question: "At what hour will the big cannon fire its next shot?" Each persons fills in the time he thinks the strafing will begin and pays a franc. The firing of the cannon causes more excitement than fear. The waiter rushes for the list, while the others crowd around, shouting and gesticulating to find out whose guess has been the nearest and who gets the money. BROTHERS PREFER DEATH TO EXPOSURE OF BODIES Pittsburgh, Pa.—Rather than expose their bodies to a physical examination William and Christian Hong, brothers, prefer death. This was their statement to United States Commissioner Knox here when they were charged with evading the draft by not presenting themselves for physical examination. Order Pickled Cabbage Pittsburgh, Pa.—The local food administration has decided, to make sauerkraut less German by striking out the hyphen. It has been officially placed on the list of patriotic foods and it is believed more would be eaten if given the name "pickled cabbage." M. H. EXALTED RULER E. W. BUNDY COLUMBIA LODGE OF ELKS.
