This apparent breach in the ranks in organization which at one time numerically and financially the most powerful fraternal and benevolent order in the country—aach that has grown from a fissure Atlanta, in 1912, to a deep, yawn-chasm in 1918, suggests the question: "Is this the beginning of the, or the first step toward restora- During this internecine strife in its once beneficently strong order the membership has dwindled to a unkened total, and its finances to unnegligible treasury, causing the skim and file—"the common people," without a grievance—to wonder whether it is best "to suffer the outgeous flings of fortune, or, by opening, to end them"—whether or not the old ship, covered with the oracles of greedy and selfish mastulators, should be abandoned to fate, or sent to the dry-dock, trapped and repaired for another fruitful voyage. Without entering into the causes for the split between the Morris and avis factions, or vouchsafing an opinion as to which is right and which is wrong, there are two facts that stand in hold relief: First. The larger and most sustaining membership in the order is the South—Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama alone mustering division that dwarfs the total membership in the North. It is hardly to be supposed that the dog will contentedly permit the tail to continue (or him Second. It must be admitted that Ben J. Davis has displayed more constructiveness than any one single man who has arose to prominence in the order. The record of achievements of this nervously energetic, tireless working, far-sighted genius for organization and intrepid fighters is an open book. Go to Georgia, which, when Ben J. Davis was an unencompassed protector and administrator of Odd Fellow affairs, and call the roll of the nearly one thousand financial lodges in that State alone, Go to Georgia and behold that Odd Fellow temple at Atlanta—grand, magnificent, silent but potential in affirming his wonderful constructive genius. Go to Georgia and note the influence, the heroically brave utterances of the Atlanta Independent, the weekly organ of the order—and the raise in Georgia—edited by Ben J. Davis. Go to Georgia and review the successful battles he has waged for the maintenance of the order, and then ask these questions: Has Ben J. Davis been sinned against, or has he been sinning? Is Ben J. Davis the arch enemy of constructiveness, or the victim of the bolo wielded by buccaneers who would beach the ship for the treasures she carries? I have no disposition to assail the virtues of Ben Davis' enemies, if they have any. They are at liberty to write their own epitaph—to itemize their good achievements. I am simply content to point to the fact that, at least, Ben J. Dayis has beneficently achieved for others, and the record stands in a one-time flourishing membership, financial growth and con- structiveness. The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was never designed to be an autocracy with a king to rule indefinitely through an assumed divine right. The order was founded on the principle that the majority should rule, and the keystone in its arch was benevolence for the many, rather than aggrandizement for the few. Perhaps it is well that the Ben J. Davis faction, representing the many, should hold a biennial meeting at New York this year and force the issue to a finality—establish the survival of the fittest—give the dog the right to wag the tail, and NOT the tail to wag the dog. Personally I have no scores to settle with either faction. I am simply venturing an opinion that is prompted by an admiration for the great order's past, and a hope for its restoration for beneficence to the many. NINETEENTH STREET Dr. W. H. Brooks Has Returned to His First Estate. Mrs. Lena Holmes Ware, the Organist, Presented Two Handsome and Valuable Tokens. The Nineteenth Street Baptist Church was crowded to its uttermost capacity last Sunday morning. The attraction was double. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, the pastor, delivered one of the most eloquent and logical sermons that has ever been listened to in that great edifice. His eloquence and logic carried his hearers back to bygone days. His words were most sublime. He took his text from the Romans and his comparisons and illustrations brought tears to the eyes of his auditors. At the conclusion of his sermon a young sailor by the name of Jesse Harris, who had confessed religion, was baptized and admitted into full membership of the church. Madame Mary Richardson at the opening of the services rendered very sweetly a vocal solo. After the baptism Mr. William B. Harris was introduced by Madame Richardson, the chairman of the committee on testimonial to Mrs. Ware, and who prefaced her remarks, by stating that the long and faithful services of Mrs Ware to the church was the occasion THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FOUNDATION LENA HOLMES WARE of this presentation to her of tokens from her friends and admirers, and that every article was worth its face value. At the conclusion of the presentation address by Mr. Harris, Mrs. Ware, in a dignified and gracious manner, extended her thanks and gratitude to those who had recognized her faithful services, and assured them that she hoped God would give her strength to continue to serve the church as faithfully in the future as in the past. Mr. Harris spoke as follows: "There comes a time in the affairs of state when it turns aside from its busy life for a brief period to pay tribute of appreciation to some worthy patriot and citizen for service rendered; this is no less true of the church. This spirit has character- WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1918 ized the life of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, and largely so because its pastor, the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D. D., is a man of aggressive tendencies and is one ever ready to 'render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things which are His.' "The history of the Nineteenth Street Baptist. Church would not be complete if it omitted the faithful and constant services of its organist, Mrs. Lena H. Ware. "Mrs. Lena H. Ware was a pupil in music under Miss Blennie Bruce, who was her predecessor as organist of the church. From her she imbibed the spirit and love for playing. She began her career playing for the Sunday School, the Junior Choir and the Endeavor Society. Her playing attracted the attention of some of the officials of the Manassas Industrial School, and they engaged her to rehearse and play for the commencement exercises of the school. This she did for a number of years. "In the spring of 1899 the late Mr. Ellis W. Brown, then chairman of the trustee board of the church, attended the commencement at the Manassas School. He was impressed with the way Mrs. Ware executed her work at the instrument and suggested to her that she file an application for the organist of the church, stating that Miss Bruce had tendered her resignation. Having been a pupil of Miss Bruce, she doubted her ability to succeed her, and so expressed herself to Mr. Brown; but he, together with the late Dr. Albert H. Stevens, then the superintendent of the Sunday School, encouraged her to make the effort. This she did, and was elected organist June, 1899, for a period of three months. She has held the place for nineteen years, except a brief period of illness, at which time she supplied a substitute. "During these years she has served under the following directors of the choir: Messrs. Harry Lewis, William Baker, Benjamin Washington, James T. Walker (twice), A. D. Smith (twice), and Prof. Roy Tibbs, playing at two services each Sunday, and sometimes three. When the director was absent, which was often at nights, she not only conducted the singing, but often selected the music and led the singing. "We have been told that the average deaths in the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church is about 40 per year; of these quite a few funerals are not held in the church; but it can be safely said of those held in the church that Mrs. Ware has played for them except when she is on vacation. She has not limited her work of this kind to the church, for she often accompanies Dr. Brooks to the homes and to chapels where funerals are conducted. "She has presided at the organ at the funeral of every officer of the church who died since 1899. She has played for all the concerts and church entertainments when music was required, and this without price. "The church has been repaired twice during her incumbency; it has also had a few anniversaries; at all of these she was found at her place at the organ. "Mrs. Ware takes pride in the musical training of her daughter Marjorie, who, with her, has thrown herself in the work of the church. Marjorie sang a solo at te funeral of her godmother and at the funeral of Mr. Robert Woodson, each time accompanied by her mother. "The testimonial given Mrs. Ware was not for a pecuniary benefit to her, but as an evidence of appreciation for her protracted services and to present to her some small token or keepsake as a memento. "As a mark of appreciation for her services the church grants her one month's leave during the year with pay, and when absent on account of illness. "The life of an organist is much like that of every other officer of a church—it is not all flowers. Often the criticism is hard to bear. So has it been with Mrs. Ware. She said the kind admonition of her devoted mother and the words of encouragement from the older members, together with some of her own companions, have helped her to brook the stroke—all for which she gives God the praise. "She realizes that in the rapid progress of time her playing may no longer enthuse the most gifted, and that sooner or later she will have to surrender to a modern artist, but that she has the happy consolation that she has done the best she could by giving a whole-earted service." The dihmond lavallier and diamond earrings are valued at $175. In the evening Rev. Walter H. Brooks, the pastor, was presented with a vacation purse of $176. Both presentations demonstrated the liberality of the church membership and the friends of these two well known church people: COLORED NURSES REQUESTED. The Colored League of New Jersey has adopted a petition to the President and Congress praying that colored nurses be given proper consideration; that colored soldiers may be permitted to pursue such course of instruction as will prepare them for infantry and artillery service; that they may be officered by men of our race as far as possible, and a conference be arranged between the President and the leading colored men and members of Congress to give consideration to the question of securing to colored citizens so much of justice and fair play as they are entitled to and to consider the highest means by which colored citizens can most efficiently help the nation and its allies to win the pending world war. The petition is signed by Isaac N. Nutter, chairman; T. Thomas Fortune, secretary. SHOULD MARRIED WOMEN TEACH? Editor of the Bee: Editor of the Dec. I see that you have opened your columns to the many readers for short talks on "Should Married Women Teach?" Well, that depends on what grade or brand of husband the teacher falls victim to. If she should be so fortunate as to get hold of a country editor of a newspaper, or a lawyer or doctor with a good practice; or a preacher that pastors a congregation that is fool enough to pay him a hundred and fifty dollars a month for about thirty dollars' worth of preachin', and buy him an automobile, and fetch him a basket of grub every Saturday night, all so well and good. Otherwise she'd do well to dismiss the Negro and stick to her job. Need I say more? J. C. Cunningham. THE A. & T. COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL. The A. & T.

"The Woman in the Case" is considered one of the strongest plays from the pen of the late Clyde Fitch. It ranks with his greatest successes, "The Climbers," "The Truth" and "The Girl With the Green Eyes." No American dramatist ever wrote better dramas satirizing society, and with the strength of action and humor, than did this brilliant man, who was a native of Hartford. Though melodramatic in spots, "The Woman in the Case" carries a very interesting and possible story. It revolves about the idolatrous love of a bride, Margaret Rolfe, for her husband, Julian Rolfe, who incurs the hatred of Clajre Forster, for his successful efforts in preventing his chum from marrying an adventurer. The chum commits suicide. Circumstances; aided by the scheming of "The Woman in the Case," causes the arrest of Rolfe on a charge of murder. The Forster woman is determined that he shall die for his part in the defeat of her plans. Rolfe's young wife is equal to the situation. She rents a flat in the same house as "The Woman," worms her way into her confidence, and wrings from her the true story of her lover's death. There are witnesses concealed in an adjoining room. The bride almost chokes her tormentor to death in the great scene, wherein Margaret enacts the role of a woman of the town to place herself seemingly on a level with Claire Rolfe has been previously arrested for the murder, and it is upon this evidence that he is freed. Fitch has given Mrs. Rolfe some of the prettiest speeches he ever wrote. There is no play of Fitch's where a wife's heart is fared with such delicacy and refinement. Her pleading with the family lawyer, whose faith in Rolfs is breaking under the mass of damaging evidence that is piled against him; her faith in her loved one's innocence; her courage, to go into the home of the woman who knows alone of her husband's guiltlessness, and finally her crafty plan to gauge the secret from the soul of the scarle woman, are a few of the great situations of this splendid play. "The Woman in the Case" is a play that will appeal to all classes of theatergoers, and appreciated by both the young and old, and its lesson is one that finds a place in all hearts.

No. 4 ° phate -Pigckien “Weartags Some time ago the editor of The Bee wrote an editorial on “The Fool.’ I thought it pretty’ good. . I was par. “ticularly interested in it, because i seemed to haye a near relation to my subject of “Fallacies.” Very many fallacies result from ‘the fact that the author of them i8 one of the species of fool that the editor pointed out, o1 for the time assumes. the role of the fool: ah rae I have already noted that where a man employs a fallacy: and is ‘him- self deceived by it, we call the fault a paralogism, and where one employs it to deceive another we call it’a so- phism. The author of a parologisin is for the time at ledst a fool, and the author of a sophism for the time talks like a fool. . Tommyrot reasoning or, argument is none’ the less tommyrot, whether the author of it is sincere or not. ‘The justness or unjustness of a con- clusion is none the Iess such, wheth- er it is championed. or contested by a fool or a rascal. And whatever can be said to-foréstalt or correct falla- cies arising from the one source is equally applicable to those arising from the other. - Jesus taught us not to cast pearls before swine. I am sure He had‘in _mind both” the fool and the rascal. But surely He-did not mean that we _should never, contest with any person to opposé. a fallacy.. The best-inten- tioned men often fall-into fallacy, and are willing’to be extricated. How, then, are’ we to distinguish the swine? Many times nearly evéry day of our lives we find it necessary. to af- gue some question or:point with an- other, or at least we meet an oppor- tunity to do so. Needless to say, we should aim to: cast only pearls; but often it will be necessary to deter- mine to what extent we shall cast theni, if at all. Therefore, I propose the following geiteral-rules to govern ourselves in conversations and argu- shents: |” . First! Do not press your own point where it becomes manifest that your adversary cannot understand it, or refuses to ‘understand it and meet it. Second. Where your adversary ad- vances a point and the argument is plainly fallacious, it may often be found not necessary’ to pursue that point’at all. If the point is “hot, ma- terial or important, “argue with thine, adversary quickly.” al Third...Where your adversary. ad- vances a fallacious point ona. mate- rial question still unsolved, itis usu- ally very proper, if the matter. is deemed: worth while, to try to ex: pose tHe fallacy: to him; but if he per- sists, it ‘may be: better to drop ‘that particular point. It is. seldom’ profit- able to wrangle on a single minor question, or point, and -it is often possible to solve the ‘main. question at issue by resort to some other point or points. 6 ‘A reasonable observance of somie such rules will tend’ to reduce the number and duration of logomachies. A logomachy is a “war of words,” a petty “quarrel,. consisting’ of irrele-| vancies, quibbles and hair-splittings. Very often the main cause is in the use of ambiguous Words or unreal propositions, or Both. : Persons ad- dicted to them are palaverers..

W., Washington, D. C. Emmett J. Scott is capable of thinking and planning for himself. Stick a pin there. Had he not been he would not have been asked to serve where he is serving so efficiently. Frequently the man who is the least asset to the man "higher up" is the man whose footprints are most frequently on the "higher up's" doorsteps. What is society? In many instances it represents a thin veneering of selfishness spread over an insufferable assumption which hardly comports with the assumptive's remembered past. This war is, in the finality, being fought to a finish by the Allies in the interest of the oppressed peoples of the world. The oppressed peoples are the common people, and they outnumber the privileged and erroneously assumed "exclusives" by hundreds of millions. When you hear a man constantly edifying himself, and disgusting others, with the claim that he is some high official's "advisor," that the high official "consults" him, that, after an important achievement has been publicly announced, he "knew all about it from the beginning," you may safely set that man down as one who is overzealous in boosting himself into importance, rather than earnest in advancing the interests, for the good of the many, of that high official. Colored people; particularly, should bear in mind that usually after every heavy rain there is a long dry spell; that hard times always follows a record-breaking prosperity; that wars are followed by commercial stagnancy. Better begin saving today, and cutting out the luxuries, for later on even a loaf of bread and a hod of coal may seem like a luxury. You cannot run the mill with the water that has gone by, and you cannot eat your cake and have it, and you cannot buy necessities of life next year with money you foolishly squandered last year. Have a care! There died last week, within twenty-four hours of each other, two men, both of whom were known, at least by name, throughout the country. The first to die was Dr. Washington Gladden, the great Congregational minister, author and philosopher, who died at Columbus, Ohio. The second to die was Benjamin R. Tillman, United States Senator from South Carolina. Each had passed the allotted three score and ten. At one time, when a group of colored people in Columbus, Ohio, desired to establish a Colored Congregational Church they sought Dr. Gladden, pastor of the largest and most notable white Congregational Church in Ohio, for encouragement: His reply was this terse sentence: "So long as there are vacant pews in my church I will not favor a separate church for colored." Dr. Gladden was never one of those super-enthusiastic agitators for equal rights and privileges for the race, but he was a staunch believer in the Constitution, and regarded that instrument as one which conferred EQUAL RIGHTS upon ALL American citizens, without reference to color or race, and he never, during his eighty-two years of living, gave utterance to a single sentence designed to be hurtful to our race. To him the color of a man's skin was simply the design of the same God who gave to him his white skin, and it neither gave to the man special privileges or denied to him equal privileges. Senator Tillman never lost an opportunity to assail the race; to discredit it in the eyes of the world. Until God, in His "mysterious way his wonders to perform," paralyzed the tongue that had denounced a struggling race which had done naught to Senator Tillman save to till his soil, and make it possible for him to represent his state in the United States Senate by a denial of suffrage, from the far South to the far North, be bitterly traduced us—and for pay. When that vile tongue was touched with paralysis, it was stilled for a while. But when he had partially recovered from his first paralytic stroke, he again resorted to bitter denunciation of a patient, long-suffering, loyal people. Dr. Washington Gladden, perhaps the most famous and most widely known of ministers, always spoke encouragingly of and for our race. Although a gold, calculating, analytical student, he never designedly erected a single bar to race advancement; he rather pulled down bars which hedged it in. Benjamin R. Tillman, perhaps as superficial a man as ever represented a sovereign state in the United States Senate, always spoke discouragingly of and for the race—never opened his mouth to discuss the race but he denounced it in bitterest terms, merely for cheap notoriety, and to satisfy and promote his political ambitions. He piled high the very bars which Dr. Gladden would have leveled down. When death paused at the bedside of Dr. Gladden to seal lips which had never uttered a single hurtful word against our race, the smile which covered his visage told how sweet to him had been the satisfaction of living a life of helpfulness to ALL MANKIND, and when life had left that body, weighted down with eighty-two years, a voice murmured: "Well done My good and faithful servant," and a suffering race wept o'er his parting. When death paused at the bedside of Benjamin R. Tillman to forever silence the tongue which had for years, without rhyme or reason—without cause—assailed our race from the lakes to the gulf; which had espoused legislation designed to turn back the hands on the clock for us, there was NOT A SINGLE moist eye in any of the three million colored homes in this broad land. On the contrary, every colored person, when Senator Tillman's death was announced, believed, more than ever, that God does answer prayers. Because of his goodness of heart; his calm, long helpful life, recognizing men for their worth and merit, despite the color of their skin, and believing justice had been designed as a legacy for ALL MEN, the late Dr. Washington Gladden was the antithesis of Benjamin R. Tillman. Because in his heart there was no place—no sympathy for such as whom God had created with darker skin; because he used his position and prestige to dethrone justice for a race which had earned it by faithful allegiance to country and state; by fighting for it on a hundred battlefields, Benjamin R. Tillman was the antithesis of Dr. Washington Gladden. For the one for whom we have tears, and for the one for whom we HAVE NO TEARS to shed, we can at least say, "Rest in peace, God's will be done."

In its issue for the week ending July 6, the North American Review's War Weekly contains a letter from Lillie Buffum Chace Wyman of Newtonville, Massachusetts, as follows: Sir—May I ask you, as a patriot, if you can throw a little more influence against action or speech which is calculated to wound the racial feelings of our colored Americans and to make them think of themselves as a segregated group, even when they are fighting and dying for the country which is as much theirs as it is ours? I know the colored people pretty well, and I am sure that every kind word and act on the part of white Americans, which has in it the quality of we in an inclusive sense, does stimulate the patriotic fervor which they are pathetically eager to make useful to the allied cause. But they are like other folks, and feel their grievances. They constitute about one-tenth of our whole population. It is a serious matter when one American man, out of each ten has reason to feel that his country does not give his women and children the protection and chance it gives to other women and children. The thing that America has professedly undertaken to do in this world is to create a free nation out of diverse peoples and races. By its success or its failure in such endeavor we all must stand or fall. After the East St. Louis massacre, prominent leaders of the colored people admitted to me that their patriotism was just then at a very low ebb, but still they declared both publicly and privately that the Negro must not waver in his allegiance and must be ready to fight when called upon. Our Negro leaders are wonderfully wise and magnanimous in their insistence upon loyalty. The names of Buffum and Chace are associated with those of Garrison and Frederick Douglass in the anti-slavely struggle. This lady humanitarian has in a single word described the need of the colored man, namely, inclusiveness. To be included in the protection of the laws, in the conveniences of transportation, in the rewards of merit everywhere, and the exercise of the suffrage. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

An interesting court case trans- pired in Falls Church during the past week. William Henderson, an old citizen, upon attempting to board a car on his way to this city, was pulled down by a white man, who upon other occasions has interfered with colored passengers. His reason for so doing was that some white women had not yet boarded the car. Mr. Henderson swore out a warrant charging the man with assault. In a crowded court room two lawyers contended, one basing his argument upon the rights of William Henderson, a citizen of the United States, and the other defending the white man because of his gallantry and protection of white women. Without doubt the facts showed guilt as charged upon the defendant, and, much to the surprise of many, the mayor, acting as justice, fined the offender $10 and costs. Needless to say, the colored citizens were elated to receive the just decision. The credit for the able manner in which the case was handled falls to the attorney who prosecuted the case, Lawyer J. C. De Putron of the Washington bar. Mr. De Putron was urged not to push the case, because, as one reasoned, it might stir up the whites against the colored people, but he emphasized sharply the converse that the opposite might be true, and throughout the trial he fearlessly and severely arraigned the action of the defendant. The Young Men's Minute Club of the Second Baptist Church rendered a very able program on Tuesday night. A sextette composed of Messrs. Murray, Thomas, Marshall, Mason, Ford and Ewing rendered plantation melodies in pleasing and charming style. Mr. E. B. Henderson supplied a few remarks to the occasion, but the hit of the evening was Squash-Center, in which the sextette kept the audience in uproarious laughter by their appearance and jokes. The entertainment was highly entertaining. * * * Rev. Johnson and his wife have gone on a rest trip through Maryland and nearby states.

Equality of Citizenship in the South to Be Investigated. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary, John R. Shillady, of New York, announces that through its instrumentality two victories have been won for the colored people. The State Board of Control of Wisconsin, upon the initiative of Governor E. L. Philipp, to whom the association wrote a letter of protest against the exclusion of colored patients from the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Statesan, Wisconsin, has directed that colored people be admitted into the sanatorium under the same conditions as white persons, and that no distinction be drawn between colored and white people: The superintendent of the sanatorium, Dr. R. L. Williams, is quoted in one of the Wisconsin daily papers as saying that Negroes and whites alike would be given treatment in the same wards and rooms. The letter from the state superintendent of control follows: Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: Dear Sir: Governor Philipp has submitted to this board your communication to him under date of June 17th, concerning the admission of colored persons into the Wisconsin State Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Stetesan, Wisconsin. This matter was called to the attention of the board some time ago. The matter was taken up with Governor Philipp, and he was of the opinion that colored persons were entitled to the same privilege as white people in the matter of admissions to the sanatorium. The board at that time wrote. Dr. Williams, the superintendent of the sanatorium, and directed that colored people be admitted into the sanatorium under the same conditions as white persons, and that no discrimination be drawn between colored and white people. At the present time the institution is filled to its capacity, and there are a large number of applications for admissions, which cannot be received until vacancies occur, but hereafter colored people will have the same privileges at the sanatorium as white people. We do not understand why the management of the sanatorium assumed the position that colored people were not entitled to the same privilege as the whites, because no suggestion of that kind was ever made by Governor Philipp or this board. We were glad to receive the letter which you wrote to the governor, so that we would have an opportunity to give you information as to the action of Governor Philipp and this board in reference to the admission of colored persons into the sanatorium. Very respectfully, State Board of Control of Wisconsin State Board of Control of Wisconsin, By M. J. Tappins, Sec. The second victory of the N. A. A. C. P. follows a letter of June 2r to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo in which the N. A. A. C. P. calls the Secretary's attention to the fact that the Chairman of the War Savings Stamp Committee of Caddo Parish, Louisiana, of which Shreveport is the center, had, according to a press article in the Shreveport Times, declared that he would adopt force to compel Negroes to buy War Savings Stamps. The association announces that it is in receipt of a letter from the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in Secretary McAdoo's absence, in which the acting head of the Treasury Department says that the clipping sent by the N. A. A. C. P. will be promptly investigated, and that the local War Savings Committee will be asked to see that the practice complained of is not repeated. The N. A. A. C. P. also announces that acknowledgment of the association's inquiry concerning the case of Private S. P. Jones, who was forced from a Pullman car at Texarkana, has been made by the Third Assistant Secretary of War, who informed the association that he had referred the matter to the Attorney General upon instructions from Secretary of War Baker.

We were discussing the front handle of Melendez King's name the other day, and wonderin' where he coralled it at. It was agreed by a majority sufficient to pass a set of resolutions offered by Nev Thomas denouncin' Du Bois, that the name "Melendez" must have been found, or picked up at some rummage sale. Some old mummified apostle of socialism once remarked that "a rose might smell as sweet by some other name"; and another immortal who was ushered into this old world some time after Adam bit a big hunk out of that "Bellflower" apple Eve vampired him with, rose up and remarked that "there's nothin' in a name." Bein' a sage myself, I will be excused for agreein' with both of these distinguished savants who are now restin' in some crypt. Accordin' to their logic Melendez King would have been some pumpkin if he had been named Zachariah Obidiah, or George Washington Abraham Lincoln, or Cherry-Hit-and-Run King, throwin' all this academic seasonin' about King's front handle into the brush heap, and gettin' down to brass tacks and Hooverized dough, that man with that sonombulistic name, "Melendez," ain't nobody's "fool's paradise." Melendez sprung up "somewhere" in "Ole Virginy" after a very hard rain, and then he grew in spite of opposition, and then he came over to Washington to learn a few things about law. Without subtractin' from a lot of other Rufus Choats, and William Everets who scintilate around Washington on bootleggin' cases, and sich like, you've just got to hand it to Melendez for havin' some class to him. He impresses you the first time you meet him with bein' a gentleman of the old school, and a fellow what's got a couple of tons of legal knowledge stored up in that dome of his'n. And after you have met him a couple of times you become impressed with the belief that your first suspicions were correct. Runnin' Melendez up one side and down the other, you find he ain't no fifteen block puzzle, and you don't have to get a search, warrant to find out whether or not he knows any law like she is practiced in the White Bar League. Melendez is about the most dignified legal branch on the charcoal legal tree hereinabouts. If he was called on to drink a "just-right" prepared mint julip, after he had been denied one for steen years or more, he wouldn't gulp it down to appease a ravenous appetite. He'd just raise the glass with the solemnity of an umpire sayin' "take your base." it it under his nose with all the dignity of Ty Cobb stealin' home, from third, and sip it with the complaincy of a police court judge handin' a confessed bootlegger "one year and $500 fine." When you see Melendez movin' down the street, he is always movin' like Elihu Root moved when he arose to address the Senate—takes his time, looks ahead, and acts the part of a gentleman of the old school. Now Melendez "nevali" asked me to write this—he don't know a bloomin' thing about it; it will be even a surprise to Langford, who hit a foul down past first base in the Frelingheysen game and circled the bases when nobody was lookin' "made a grandstand play." as Dick Thompson enunciated through his pulmotor. I just naturally like to hand a fellow what's got class a dab of printer's ink, and that's why, with Big Bill Chase's permission, I'm makin' an immortal out of a fellow what's got the misfortune to have to saunter through life with "Melendez" hitched on in front of his tender. Suppose you heard how they panned Du Bois last Wednesday night at the N. A. A. P. C. Well, if you missed that meeting you just ain't got the faintest notion how hot was the battle of the Marne, and you ain't got no idea how hard was the fightin' in No Man's Land. Archy Grimke presided, and Archy is a bird—one of them there eagle kind. If 'Fessor Du Bois fails to combine the $4,000 salary as editor of the Crisis with the $2,400 salary as Maj. Spingarn's understudy, he can, sort of soliloquizingly, say: "Etu Archy!" cause Archy—another fellow with an inconvenient front handle to his name to make life embarrassin', is the fellow what ran up the conin' tower of the flagship of the N. A. A. C. P. sqadron, and told the rest of the "consistants" hangin' around the power magazine: "Fire when ready all you Califs. Nev Thomas was there with a lot of dynamite what he set off under Hershaw, and when "Lafe" Hershaw was picked up on the battlefield, after the firin' was over, all that was left of him was his hesitation. They, those maraudin' conscripts to "principle," as they bill themselves, even paid no respect to the "Spingarn $100 Prize." Everybody what attempted to defend Editor Du Bois for a tryin' to profiteer on two salaries caused the whole bunch to sing that impressive religious refrain: "All coons look alike to me." The way they went after ye Editor Du Bois, who for about steen years has been a patron saint to 'em, more perfect than St. Patrick is to the habitues of the Emerald Isle, reminded me of a certain meetin' between two factions down at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Nearly everybody what imagined he could talk did a little speelin'. Archy Grimke started the ball a-rollin', as he always does when he plans a mass formation battle, and the quarterbacks, center rushes, left and right tackles did the rest. Every fellow there was a four hundred hitter, and the way they batted Du Bois' curves for three and four bases was a caution. Lafe Hershaw only lasted half of an innin'. New Thomas hit him for a home run the first time up. Everybody fattened his battin' average. Archy, as the playin' manager of the team, was just one continuous 'ne plus ultra.' as the manager of the White Cross somethin' would say. Once or twice when Jeems African Cobb tried to get recognition from the chair, and Archy suspicioned that Jeems wanted to file a demurrer for Major Joel, Archy told the threve- THE EAST INDIA W Hair Vital If you EA If Hair any I try a jar o ER.

You see, Archy wasn't goin' to take no chances changin' his line-up when all the players were goin' so good. It sure was some meetin', and the echoes from it are still reverberatin' around this oldberg, and will continue to reverberate until Gabriel grabs up her, or his brass, trumbone and toots the hour, for the resurrection. Speakin' about that "first citizen of the berg," what has been forced to endure nearly seventy years with a handicap like "Archibald" hung on to him, you just got to hand it to him for bein' courageous and uncompromisin'. Archy is the only dyed-in-the-wool, canibalistic radical I ever met who has an element of fairness secreted around his person. You don't have to say to him. "Oh, for the love of Mike, be reasonable," cause if there is a grain of earnestness about you as big as a mustard seed he'll excuse your vagaries.

Hand it to Archy Grimke for bein' the cheese around these diggin's when there is a question as to what are the rights of bituminous coal complexioned derelicts. He's another one of them fellows with "class" imbedded in his constitution. And he ain't got no itchin' palm either. Away back'yander, about 2428 B. D. (before Du Bois) the old Sublician bridge what was over the Tiber river, came mighty nigh bein' a passage to the enemy what wanted to get across to make old Rome howl. It just happened that old Horatius Cocles, the one-eyed son-of-a-gun who's been slumberin' in disrememberance for 2,400 years, was on guard, and held the bridge. I guess "we uns" will now have to decorate Archy Grimke with the title of Cocles the Second," 'cause he was on guard at the N. A. A. C. P. bridge when the Du Boisesques came rushin' on under the flag of two salaries, in mass formation, and got stopped at the bridge by Archy.

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.

Editor The Bee: I note the exclusive announcement in your paper and the comments thereon relative to the rumored appointment of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois to a captaincy in the intelligence department of the army. It appears that the news has caused a flutter of excitement in thinking colored circles, particularly in this city, where the N. A. A. C. P. has a large membership and where its organ, The Crisis, of which he is editor, has a wide circulation. From what I have been able to glean from conversations, the preponderance of opinion seems to be that Dr. DuBois should not accept the proffered office; but if he does accept it, he should not at the same time be in editorial control of The Crisis. The argument seems to be that for him to take the office would be incompatible with his avowed principles. I hold that the main contention is unsound, and that the reasons I have heard in support of it are not conclusive. I think it the duty of Dr. DuBois to accept the office mentioned, if it has been tendered him or should in future be tendered him. The particular grievances of any particular group of our inhabitants are of minor importance compared to the paramount interests of the whole nation at a critical time like the present, when the fate of mankind hangs in the balance. At such a juncture private and class interests and grievances should be subordinated to the general good. Class grievances at such a time should hold themselves in abeyance; for example those of the Irish in Ireland, and those of the colored people in America. There is a time for all things. During the pendency of the present war, good policy requires some tempering of the former militant attitude of The Crisis, no matter who may be the editor of it. Both Dr. DuBois and the publishers of The Crisis must be aware of this. Hence, for Dr. DuBois to relinquish the editorship temporarily, during the war, would involve no wavering of racial aims or wavering of propaganda beyond what would be necessary even should his editorial work not be interrupted. Under the circumstances the temporary furlough of Dr. DuBois from the editorship during the war might be a graceful solution of the situation, one precisely compatible with the dignity of the gifted editor. But I see no insuperable reason why, if he accepted the public office, he could not retain a supervisory editorship of the magazine. editorship of If the Government commissions Dr. DuBois to a captaincy in the army, that commission must be viewed as a peremptory order—one that must be obeyed. The Government must be the judge of what work is best for him at this time of national peril. tional peri- The appointment of a colored man to a captaincy in a staff corps of the army is a signal honor, first, to the race he represents, and, next, to the man. It is a precedent whose significance cannot fail to be far-reaching. To accept such an office is to serve the colored race. The incidental personal compliment, while a very high one, is a secondary consideration. A family or tribe that acquires a strong rooting in the soil of a country, a firm attachment to the land, invariably becomes influential or powerful in that country. If not, not. It is fated that the agrarian must rule the world, or be the power behind every throne. The day is not far distant when the science of agriculture will be the most important and most honored, and when the art of agriculture will be recognized as a fine art. With the banishment of disease the world will more rapidly become filled up with people overpopulated. The problem of existence will become mankind's main problem. The food problem will be acute. The soil will be utilized to the utmost limit. The buying price of cultivable land will be almost prohibitive; rents in proportion. When the day of threatened overpopulation and underfeeding for the whole world arrives—as already in Germany—and when migration no longer affords a solution, the world will no doubt rely on one or more of three alternatives: (1) Limit the birth rate; (2) destroy the people of the neighboring country and take their lands, or (3) increase the productive capacity of the soil. In some cases these alternatives will be combined, but the first recourse, so long as our present civilization remains, will be a further utilization of the soil. This will give rise to intensive cultivation to a degree never before attempted. Then those who are the possessors of the soil will be the most independent, the richest, the most powerful, and those who possess no soil be dependents, some of them hirelings, some of them peons. Today land in the United States is relatively cheap and it is accessible to all. It is not as low-priced as it was some years ago, but when the present ability to buy it and profitably utilize it is compared to that ability of fifty years ago, it is as cheap now as it was then. Now is a good time for any family or tribe or class in the United States that wishes to be wealthy and strong in the future generations to buy farm land. This is a golden opportunity for colored families. The colored people should buy farm land now. They should buy farm land now because it is relatively plentiful. They should buy farm land now because it is relatively cheap. They should buy farm land now because they now earn a good deal of money that is available for the purpose. They should buy even worn-out land where they can get it at a fair price, for most such land can be restored to fertility. They should become a distinctive class of landowners and agriculturists in this country. There is too much of the tendency of our colored people to gravitate to the towns and cities, there to become, for the most part, hirelings at precarious wages and dwellers in unsanitary homes. The movement should be in the other direction—back to the farm. Land is cheap. Buy land. This is a golden opportunity for the colored people. SCHOOL NOTES. Mr. John A. Smith, the expert statistician at Franklin, distinguished himself as an orator of no mean repute at the Douglass Pilgrimage. * * * Rumor has it that Mr. Washington who teaches at the incorrigible school—Douglass-Simmons School—will lead the kindergarten principal of the same school to the altar some time during this month. It is hoped by those who are interested in kindergartens that the appointments to the vacancies of the two leading positions in this department of the school will be persons who can bring real life and vigor to the work, lift the kindergarten from the old chaotic condition in which it has been to the same level of those in the white schools of the District. These positions call for people who are broad-minded and entirely free from selfishness and personalities.

Ex-United States Senator William E. Mason, now representative at large from Illinois, was one of the speakers at the recent banquet of Illinois Republicans at Bloomington in celebration of the anniversary of the utterance of Lincoln's famous "lost speeech." He roused his several hundred hearers with a patriotic utterance in which he defended the right of Republicans to resist the theory that the present war can properly be used as a campaign asset by any political party. He spoke of the presence of his son in the trenches in France, and said that it was the duty of the Republican party to stand by the men who are fighting the battles of the republic even if in so doing they are compelled to criticize some politicians in the rear. Representative Mason is a candidate for renomination as representative at large in the Illinois primaries to be held in September, and on account of his popularity with the Illinois voters and his record as a campaigner, it appears that he will have no opposition. The retirement of Medill McCormick to enter the senatorial race, makes one new vacancy as congressman at large.

Washington, D. C.—The story of the first victory over a German airplane by an American aviator is told by the American victor himself, Lieut. Alan S. Winslow, Signal Reserve corps of Chicago, in notes from his diary, which were made public by the war department. Written with no thought of publication, and merely for the purpose of preserving his own impressions, Lieutenant Winslow nevertheless has produced a document which the war department regards as of great historical value and which impresses the reader by its descriptive power. Here is his story: scrawny, poorly clad little devil, dressed in a rotten German uniform. It was the Boche-pilot of the machine I had shot down. Needless to say, I felt rather haughty to come face to face with my victim, now a prisoner but did not know what to say. I seems he would not believe that an American officer had brought him down. He looked me all over, and then asked me in good French if I was an American. When I answered, "Yes, he had no more to say. "There was a huge crowd around the wrecked plane, and the first man I ran into was our major—the conspirator, and he was the hun power. "On Sunday morning, April 14, I was 'on alert' from 6 a. m. till 10 a. m., that is, I, with Lieut. Douglas Campbell of Harvard and California (since designated as the first American 'ace') was on emergency call duty. We were sitting in the little alert tent playing cards, waiting for a call. Our machines were outside, ready at a moment's notice. I was patrol leader. At 8:45 I was called to the phone, told by the information officer, who is in direct touch with all batteries and observation posts, that two German airplanes were about 2,000 meters above the city, which is only a mile or so from here. We were told they were going east. We were rushed down our machines in side cars, and in and other minute were off in the air. "Doug started ahead of me, as I was to meet him above a certain point at 500 meters and then take the lead. I gave him about 45 seconds' start, and then left myself, climbing steeply in a left-hand spiral in order to save time. I had not-made a complete half turn, and was at about 250 meters when straight above and ahead of me in the mist of the early morning, and not more than 100 yards 'away, I saw a plane coming toward me with huge black crosses on its wings and tall. "I was so furious to see a German directly over our aviation field that I swore out loud and violently opened fire. At the same time, to avoid my bullets, he slipped into a left-hand reverence and came down, firing on me. I climbed, however, in a right-hand spiral and slipped off, coming down directly behind him and on his tail. Again I violently opened fire. I had him at a rare advantage, which was due to the greater speed and maneuverability of our wonderful machines. I fired 20 to 30 rounds at him and could see my tracers entering his machine. Each "Got" His Man. "Then, in another moment, his plane went straight down in an uncontrolled nose dive; I had put his engine out of commission. I followed in a straight dive, firing all the way. At about 600 feet above the ground he tried to regain control of his machine, but could not, and he crashed to earth. I darted down near him, made a sharp turn by the wreck, to make sure he was out of commission, then made a victorious swoop down over him, and climbed up again to see if Doug needed any help with the other. Boche, for I had caught a glimpse of their combat out of the corner of my eye. "I rose to about 300 feet again to see Doug on the trail of his Boche. His tracer bullets were passing throughout the enemy plane. I climbed a little higher and was dying down on this second, German and about to fire when I saw the German plane go up in flames and crash to earth. Doug had sent his German plane down one minute after I had shot down mine. Right Over Aviation Field. "Mind you, the fight 'took place only 800 meters up, in full view of all on the ground and in the nearby town; and it took place directly above our aviation field. Furthermore, mine dropped about 100-yards to the right and Doug's 100 yards to the left of our field. These are remarkable facts, for one of our majors, who, with the French army since 1915, has shot down 17 machines, never had one land in France—and here we go right, off the bat and stage a fight over our aerodrome and bring down two Germans on it. It was an opportunity of a lifetime—a great chance. "When we landed, only our respective mechanics were left in the drome to help us out of our flying clothes. The whole camp was pouring out, flying by on foot, bicycles, side cars, automobiles; soldiers, women, children, majors, colonels, French and American—all poured out of the city. In ten minutes several thousand people must have gathered. Doug and I congratulated, each other, and my mechanic, no longer military, jumping up and down, waving his hat, pounded me on the back instead of saluting, and yelled: 'Damn it! That's the stuff, old kid!' Then Campbell and I rushed to our respective German wrecks. A Surpried German. "On the way there—it was only half a mile—I ran into a huge crowd of soldiers, blue and khaki, pressing about one man. I pushed my way through the crowd and heard somebody triumphantly say to the surrounded man in French: 'There he is; now you will believe he is an American.' I looked at the man—a scrawny, poorly clad little devil, dressed in a rotten German uniform. It was the Boche pilot of the machine I had shot down. Needless to say, I felt rather haughty to come face to face with my victim, now a prisoner but did not know what to say. It seems he would not believe that an American officer had brought him down. He looked me all over, and then asked me in good French if I was an American. When I answered, 'Yes', he had no more to say. "There was a huge crowd around the wrecked plane, and the first man I ran into was our major—the commanding officer—and he was the happiest man in the world outside of me and Doug. A French and an American general blew up in a limousine to congratulate us—colonels, majors, all the pilots, all the French officers, mechanics, everybody in the town and camp. All had seen the fight. One woman, an innkeeper, told me she could sleep well from now on, and held up her baby for me to kiss. I looked at the baby and then felt grateful to my major, who pulled me away in the nick of time. Splendid*Souvenirs. "I had my mechanics take off everything available. The machine was a wrack, but I got some splendid souvenirs. The big black German crosses from the wings, his rudder, pieces of canvas with holes from my bullets in them, all his spark plugs, compass, altimeter, his clumsy signal revolver, etc.; it is a great collection. Doug had set his Boche machine on fire at 300 meters and it had fallen in flames, rolling over three times, and then completely burning up. There remained but a charred wreckage, like the sacrifice of some huge animal. The Boche pilot had been thrown out and was badly off. His face, lands, feet, nostrils and lungs were all burned, while his leg was broken. He is now in hospital and my Boche is probably commending his job of ditch digging for the rest of the war. "La Guerre est Fini Pour Mol." "They got much valuable information from my man; the other couldn't speak. He was a Pole; said he was not an officer because he was a Pole, although he had been an 'aspirant' and a pilot at the front for two years. He said to me, with a sort of sigh of relief, throwing up his hands at the same time. 'Alors, la guerre est fini pour mol.' "That afternoon my wrecked Boche plane and the charred result of Dougie good work were exhibited in the public square of the town, surrounded by an armed guard and overlooked by a French military band. It also was a great day for the townspeople, and has had a good moral effect. You can imagine it when you realize it took place above their rooftops, at only 300 meters, and that they were able to see the whole fight. The Americans are indeed welcome in the town now, and Doug and I can buy almost anything half price. Groundling's Ear Punctured. Groundling's Ear Puncture "An amusing incident was this—the fight was so near the earth that bullets were flying dangerously all about the ground. No one was hurt. save a French worker in the field, who received a hole through his ear from one of my bullets and is very proud of it" Two days later the two aviators were decorated by the French with the Croix de Guerre with a palm, and later were mentioned in general orders and proposed for the American Distinguished Service Cross. GIVE SICK SOLDIER A ROSE He Asks for a Fresh Egg and Whole Carload Is Sent to Camp McArthur. Temple, Tex.—A Temple lady who visited the hospital at Camp McArthur recently unpinned a rose from her dress and presented it to a slick soldier in one of the wards. The boy accepted with thanks, but indicated that the one thing in the world he craved more than another was a fresh egg. Inquiry developed that the eggs at McArthur are cold-storage products. As a result of the episode several hundred dozen fresh eggs were collected here and sent by motorcar to the McArthur hospital for the use of the sick soldiers GUNNER SCORES DIRECT HIT ON FARMER Junction City, Kan. — Oliver Kelch, while working on a farm near Ogden suddenly found himself enveloped in a spray of dust and steel. A local physician took 35 pieces of steel from his anatomy. He was removed to Fort Riley base hospital for further treatment. An investigation developed that while a battery of artillery on the range at Camp Funston was practicing a gunner became careless and dropped a shell near where Kelch was working. It exploded.

ATTACKS VICTIM OF U-BOAT French Vessel Captain Mistakes Wreck for Submarine and Opens Fire. San Francisco—Capt. Abel Chevallier, commander of the French bark Bretagne, holds the unique distinction of being the only officer to attack what he thought was a German submarine and then find that the object of his attack was itself the victim of a submarine. After a tollsome journey through submarine-infested seas, the Bretagne name upon what was believed to be a German U-bomb off the Spanish coast. Captain Chevallier turned loose with all guns and after sending several shells through the supposed diver discovered that it was the hulk of an American ship that had been torpedoed. "We fired eleven shots at a distance of three miles before we discovered our mistake," said Captain Chevallier. "When we ran alongside we found no sign of life aboard. The lifeboats were gone and the crew probably had made for the Spanish coast. The only letters we could make out on the name plate were 'R-essy.'" The Bretagne sank the old hulk before continuing her voyage. ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD WOULD JOIN NAVY Philadelphia. — Perhaps the most disappointed boy in the Philadelphia district is eleven-year-old Rollo Jacobson of Landsdowne. He made a round of all the recruiting offices in this city and failed to enlist. "I want to go to France," he pleaded. "I am certain you want a drummer boy to go along with the troops." The young patriot made a splendid impression and at the Naval Reserve recruiting office he was permitted to fill out an application blank. He stated that he was in the sixth grade at school and that his "nearest of kin" was his baby brother, Marcus, three years old. FRENCH CURRENCY FOR YANKS Mén Going Overseas Receive Army Checks in France in Exchange for American Money. New York.—United States army service checks, issued in denominations of French currency, have made their appearance at a National army cantonment in the East. They will be accepted as legal tender on the entire western battle front, including the allied lines in Italy, military officers stated. The checks bear valuations of 5, 100 and 200 francs. They will be issued in exchange for American money to troops going overseas, eliminating the former practice of providing the soldiers with gold. The check system, it is said, has been approved by the war department. French clearing houses of American banks are expected to co-operate in handling it abroad.

Thrusting his manacles hands deep into his pockets, he brought them out filled with silver and emptied them into the contribution box. Offers Walnut to Uncle Sam.

NEGRO'S IDEA BEATS THE HUNS Conceived in Georgia Village II Bears Fruit in No Man's Land. DEAD FOX AIDS AND ABETS Now Abraham Lincoln Davis Goes Hungry to Feed Bunch of German Messenger Dogs Lured English With the American Army in France—Of the two threads out of which this yarn is spun one started in a lit village situated about 16 millet inland from Savannah, Ga., and the other started in the office of the German high command in Berlin. In the Georgia village—I don't recall the name of it now—a pickaninny developed the idea that the best kind of dog to chase a rabbit was a long, legged dog. Likewise in the office of the German high commander there developed the idea that a dog, having considerable intelligence, would make a better messenger than a German soldier on the battlefield, and also that if a dog had long legs he would be a faster messenger dog than a messenger dog with short legs. So the threads of the story started far apart and stretched a long ways to the French front, where the erstwhile pckanlainy is a first-class private in the army of his Uncle Samuel, and where a short ways off the German military dogs carry messages back and forth to the Boche pillboxes and advanced posts. Abraham (Lincoln) Davis—his pals all call him Ike—has dogged a lot of German bullets and gas grenades. Ike hadn't been in the trenches long before he began to hear about the German messenger dogs. Every now and then, through a peephole in the top of his trench, he caught sight of one of the messengers, although they generally did their work at night. He developed a respect and an admiration for these dogs, and he could scarcely choke down a fight when a sniper picked off one of the animals. When one of the dogs was brought in after a German raid, Ike made up his mind that he had to have one of those dogs to chase rabbits down in Georgia. I don't believe he realized that he was to have a kennel of them. It was an evening in early spring when Ike was seated by the edge of a deep French well on the outskirts of a dilapidated little village, where he was billeted during a rest period. He saw something leaping along the top of a hill a mile away. A second sight told him it was a fox, and then he forgot about it. The next night and the day after Ike saw the fox, and then there flashed through his mind the remembrance that a dog that chased a rabbit chased a fox when he got a chance. To make this part of the story short, when he went back to the trenches a few days later Ike had the fox, dead. On the next two or three nights Ike volunteered regularly for patrol duty in No Man's Land. The third night he got permission and took the dead fox with him. On the third night after he started patrolling with his dead fox, he got results. But let the next part of the story he told by Ike's commanding officer. I wish I could mention his name but the censorship rules forbid. "It was along about 4 o'clock in the morning," this officer said, "just after one of our patrols had come in. I remember it was raining slightly. The patrol reported it had encountered two Germans and that things seemed rather quiet. I was about to go away when there was a scrambling underneath our wire and a German messenger dog popped over the edge of the trench and right into the arms of one of our big buck privates, named Davis. The dog had a message around his neck directed to one of the pill boxes, telling the gunners there that American patrols were out. I took the message and started to lead the dog away to have my orderly take care of it when Ike begged for it so earnestly that I told him to watch it while I got some sleep. "I forgot all about the dog and was thinking of home and mother some hours later when one of the ileutenants reported that during the night six other German dogs had come into our trench at about the same place and that Ike had been near enough to grab each one of them. I went to look for Davis and that darkey had those seven dogs corralled in a ready-made dugout as neat as you please and was feeding them his own chow and that he could beg, borrow or steal. I am darned if I can explain it, but I know that if the gunners had got the instructions those dogs carried all our patrols wouldn't have come back. "Come on. I'll show you the circus." He took me 200 yards away and as we mounted a little knoll I saw a big negro hastily completing the job of covering up something he had buried in a hole. He dropped the spade and saluted as his officer came up. "Private Davis," said the officer, show the gentleman those dogs." "Here they is, suh," he answered, and lifted a heavy board. Down through the opening were six baby dogs, with powerful noses. THE INSTANTANEOUS VIOLET RAY TREATMENT. Scientific instruction of a method to remove blemishes.

The Quality Amusement Company is presenting at the Howard Theater this week "The Other Wife," the old story of a prosperous man, who in days when he was poor married a desolate woman, who, after long years, comes back in the days of his prosperity to blackmail him. On the 18th anniversary of his marriage she presents herself and asks to be taken into the home she claims rightfully belongs to her. Distracted, he promises to meet her at night, but instead of settling matters with her, he fires at her and she falls dead. It develops that it was not his shot, and that she was married before he married her and was not divorced. The first husband who was deserted is the real murderer, and it is for his life that the lawyer makes the plea of his career and saves the man from the electric chair and himself from disgrace. Sidney Kirkpatrick is the lawyer, and his commanding figure and his rich voice, together with his keen insight of the requirements of the impersonation shows him to be just the right man for the place. His acting is in keeping with the promising start he made on his earlier appearance here. Miss Bowman is exquisite. She has but few superiors in bringing out the character she portrays, and it is a pleasure to see her work. The solicitude for her husband and the motherly instincts seem especially noticeable. Miss Bluford made a charming daughter; but has not caught all the little mannerisms of her character. She gives great promise, however. Mosely and Miss Ellis as the newlyweds are very lifelike. Miss Ellis has quite a number of the charms looked for, and has a very musical voice. It was as Stillman, the derelict, that Mosely made his best showing. His acting in this short part was most natural, and from an artistic standpoint the best he has done here. Miss Young, as the other wife, did not carry conviction, but her character was not of the exacting kind. Thomson, as the lover of Isabell, the daughter, showed all the symptoms of the fearful man who faces papa. We would suggest that he modify his trepidation just a little. The plea to the jury, or rather Washington, D. C. to the imaginary jury, by Kirkpatrick was a novelty, and while his lines are not particularly oratorical, the rendition was extremely good and brought forth several curtain calls. The others of the cast performed well and the stage settings are all that could be asked for. LEGAL NOTICES. PERRI W. FRISBY, ATTORNEY.
