NEW VENTURE FOR A LEADING BUSINESS WOMAN OF THE RACE. Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman Purchases $35,000 Building in New York City for Expansion of Hair-Vim Chemical Company. (Special to The Blade.) Washington, D. C. — The outstanding item of news in business circles this week is the purchase by Dr. Julia P. H. Coleman of a magnificent office and apartment building at 118 West 130th street, in the heart of the progressive Harlem district of New York City, and is to be used mainly as the New York headquarters of the Hair-Vim Chemical Company, of which famous commercial enterprise she is the president. The home office will be maintained here in Washington at 1234 U street northwest, where the company was founded eight years ago with a capital of $5.00 and an abiding faith of Dr. Coleman in the race pride of her people. The newly-acquired property is a handsome five-story and basement structure, embracing fifty office and living rooms, and represents at a conservative estimate an investment of $35,000, being regarded by experienced real estate men as a rare bargain at that figure. It will be occupied by Dr. Coleman and her large staff of assistants about the middle of September. In the commodious building will be established up-to-date hair dressing and manicure parlors, with all modern appliances and equipment for beauty culture, and class rooms for the instruction of students in the art of personal improvement, modeled after the Hair-Vim Vogue and School which has proven so successful in this city. An immense electric sign will be one of the conspicuous adornments of the new establishment, and the interior furnishings will be the last word in business convenience and tasteful elegance. Dr. Coleman will oscillate between New York and her headquarters in Washington, to supervise the New York operations, which will be in the hands of her faithful secretary and assistant, Miss Malminiah Griffin, an expert in beauty culture. The sales department there will be taken care of by Mr. A. Garett, an enterprising young business man, who knows New York from the Battery to the Bronx—and "then some." This new move toward commercial expansion by the Hair-Vim Chemical Company, invading the nation's metropolis on such a daring scale, stamps Dr. Coleman as a business factor of unusual courage and initiative, and easily places her in the front rank of the commercial leaders of the times. She is not only developing a productive field for herself, but is opening avenues for the employment of the talents and energies of hundreds of young men and women of the race throughout the land. JANESVILLE. WISCONSIN. Mr. and Mrs. Henry White are visiting in the East stopping at Buffalo, Niagara Falls, New York and Brooklyn. Mr. C. W. Luck, a student at the U. of W. is in the city this week. Oh, the English an' the Irish an' the 'owin' Scotties, too. Was not in 'ell would 'appen w'en the 'Uns 'ad 'it the Yanks. HE United States of America is preparing an illustrated history of the great war which will tell exactly what happened when the Huns hit the Yanks. In the meintime congress has picked out a few sample fighting Yanks and awarded them the Medal of Honor, not for doing their mere duty, but for "conspicuous gallanty and intrepidity above HE United States of America is preparing an illustrated history of the great war which will tell exactly what happened when the Huns hit the Yanks. In the meantime congress has picked out a few sample fighting Yanks and awarded them the Medal of Honor, not for doing their mere duty, but for "conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty." Incidentally, this list could be easily doubled and trebled. Again: The names of American soldiers who wear other American, British and French decorations are legion; six of the 12,000 Americans who fought with the Canadians were awarded the Victoria Cross, the British decoration corresponding to the Medal of Honor. One out of 15,400 soldiers in action received the Medal of Honor. I would like to see the official citations setting forth the acts of supreme courage of each of these 78 medalists printed in full in every newspaper in the land. I would like to see these citations made into a text-book and put into the public schools. I am not bloodthirsty, but I approve efficiency, even in killing Huns. And I think such a book would be an incentive to patriotism to every red-blooded American boy and girl—our future citizens. As it is, there is space for little here besides the names of the medalists. Study the list and find out many interesting things for yourself. You will note, for instance, that 21 are officers and 57 enlisted men. Nineteen paid the price with their lives. New York leads with nine; Illinois is second with seven, and California, Missouri, New Jersey, South Carolina and Tennessee share third honors with six each. Military experts have long regarded the Marines the most efficient fighting men of all the armies of the world. Nevertheless, 39 of the medals go to the men of the National Guards; 23 to men of the selective draft organizations, 13 to regular army and marine units, 2 to the tank corps and 1 to the air service. By divisions, the Thirtieth leads with 12 medals; it is the National Gaurd organization of the Carolinas and Tennessee. Second honors go to the Eighty-ninth division, which is the selective draft unit of western Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, South Dakota and New Mexico. The third is the Thirty-third or National Guard Division of Illinois. Fourth honors go to the famous Second division of regulars, which includes the marines, while fifth place is shared by the two New York divisions, the Twenty-seventh and the Seventy-seventh. Sergeant Ellis, a regular, put in a whole day far in advance of the first wave of his company reducing machine-gun nests single-handed. He killed many of the enemy and captured ten machine guns and more than 50 prisoners. Lieutenant Woodfill, also a regular, reduced three separate machine-gun nests, killing at least 12 of the enemy with rifle and pistol and finally two with a pick. Lieutenant Luke, an eighteen-year-old volunteer aviator, destroyed 18 enemy aircraft in 17 days. Wounded and forced to make a landing, he killed attacking Germans with his pistol until he fell. Sergeant York was originally a sincere conscientious objector. He was convinced from the Bible that "blessed are the pencenmakers." So he went over to help make pence. He killed 24 of the enemy with rifle and pistol, put a whole machine-gun battalion out of business and marched 132 prisoners back to the American lines. Every possible kind of courage was shown by these medalists. Roberts, when his tank slid into a flooded shell hole, deliberately gave his life to save his gunner. Blackwell gave his life in a volunteer attempt to get through heavy fire with a message. Whittlesey is the "go to hell" officer of Argoune fame, who would not surrender. Leman wears also the Victoria Cross, Legion of Honor, the Mmeillelle Militaire and the Croix de Guerre. Don't forget the cartoon in which the one-armed hero and the potential hero who never got to the firing-line are each saying "You lucky guy!" And don't forget the potential heroes. Their hearts were broken. The Complete List. Adkinson, Joseph B., sergeant, Company C, 119th Infantry, 30th division, Atoka, Teun.

EFFICIENT SERVICE THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE (Copyright, late 1980s by the McClure Newa- paper syndicate) If Walt had not been young and trusting he'd never have answered the advertisement, but when you've spent your life in western Nebraska, personally conducting squads of cattle from range to railroad station, and thereafter riding with them and punching them into submission to an all-wise Providence, you're apt to be in a receptive condition for romance. Walt was. From the first day when he found the advertisement he knew the star path his feet must tread. He was sitting on a baggage truck in the cool shadow of the Three Bears express office, peacefully sleeping. Runty, the agent, laid over his face a copy of the Omaha Eagle. When Walt wakened his glance wandered idly over its want columns. It was down among the "Personals." Walt read it over carelessly at first, then carefully, looking up once to gaze at the demure but forbidding face behind the telegraph office window. Then he read over the ad again. WANTED — YOUNG EASTERN WIDOW, blonde, twenty-four, wishes to correspond with western ranchman, not over thirty. Object: newspaper. He held the newspaper firmly in both hands. There was no reason why he should not answer the appeal. He didn't have a ranch all his own, but Bill and he had been good partners with the Triple Star outfit. The house wasn't so bad—three rooms and a lean-to. He'd fix it up for her, chuck all the old clutter he and Bill had put up with, and send up a load of mail-order honeymoon things for her to make her know she was welcome. Here Walt took a second look at the unfriendly face at the window, but the girl never turned her head or noticed his existence. Presently he sauntered around into the station doorway and leaned over the little partition at the ticket office. Could he have a telegraph blank, please? Cherry did not glance up at all, just passed one to him coldly. He spent half an hour writing his message, took a long drink from the water cooler and handed the telegram to her to count up. "Send it off any time it's handy," he remarked, trying to be nonchalant also. Cherry ran her pencil over it. Dear Madam: Seeing your ad in Omaha Eagle I am hereby presenting myself with a message. I am running in partnership with one Bill Owens. No money in bank, but credit hereabouts and with mail-order firms. Heigh six foot oge fares, Wawonta, Neb. "Night message?" asked Cherry, pleasantly, as she drew her pencil through "Dear Madam." Walt resented her air of aloofness and lack of curiosity. He hauled out a pigskin wallet and extracted a yellow bill. "Send it now and get it there this afternoon. I don't care what it costs. Any corrections to suggest?" Cherry's blue eyes looked him over slowly, in one sweeping summary of his apparent shortcomings as an ideal suitor, and shook her head aggravatingly, with a certain little curl to her short upper lip. Some months previously she had been courted assiduously by Mr. Ramsdell, and being the only attractive and desirable girl in a radius of forty miles she had failed to take his offer at its proper valuation. Walt waited grimly until she had dispatched the message, then rode away with a new aggressive tilt to his hat and a sinking feeling in his heart at the desperate step he had taken. In the days of waiting for his answer he haunted the telegraph office. Cherry was likewise postmistress, and Bill warned him of his danger. "It's just as dangerous hanging around some female you've been once attached to as it is getting measies the second time. I wouldn't put it past Cherry a bit to try and get ahead of the eastern wilde and think she's doing something mighty smart." But Cherry held serenely to her own course of action. Instead of being scornful she became sympathetic and rather remorseful. When she found Walt poring painfully over a mail-order catalogue that guaranteed to furnish a honeymoon equipment at so much per room she aided him instead of laughing. Walt found himself deferring to her taste in snowflake curtains and golden oak slideboards. It was Cherry who suggested cutting out the phonograph and putting in a studio willow set instead, and a low bookcase. Walt had hesitated over a red velvet set. "It isn't becoming to blondes," she said thoughtfully. Walt's gaze traveled to Cherry's brown, short curls and wide, brown eyes, alert as a squirrel's, and for one instant he thought of how she would look surrounded by the studio willow set. He leaned over the little wooden barrier between them eagerly, forgetful of windows. "It's awfully good of you to tend to all this stuff for me. Cherry. I'd never thought of that fireless cooker or the washing machine or that line of things. You know there wasn't any real reason why we didn't—well—didn't get married ourselves, only you seemed unwilling. Cherry's bowed head gave no sign of attention; she was getting the signal for the incoming train on the eastern track. "Cherry, girl!"—Walt felt all caution leave him suddenly. "I don't any hand By IZOLA FORRESTER at delivering speeches, but I can't stand it, seeing you here day after day. You're just the only girl in the world for me—" Cherry swung past him with the mail pouch over her shoulder, laughing softly, her eyes filled with mischief. After the express had passed on, and he carried in the new pouch, he helped her while she sorted the mail, humming to herself, not a love song but one of the range riders' ballads he had taught her. And suddenly she paused, holding in her hand a letter addressed to Mr. Walter K. Ramsdell. There was also a large and promising catalogue for him. He opened them dubiously, but with a grim determination to his mouth and jaw. Cherry read the letter over his shoulder. Dear Correspondent: We were much pleased to receive your wire, and would refer a suitable object for your喜爱 affections. You may find a suitable object for your喜爱 affections. You may receive your valued order at an early date, we are sure. Sinceely yours. MEYER & HOBBS. Walt lifted a baffled face to Cherry, and she laughed. "I knew you'd get one. Lots of the boys have answered that ad." "And you let me send that telegram?" he demanded. "I wanted to have you ride over often. Wait, so I could see you," she whispered. "And I did choose the willow set, you know." DROP THE TERM "WOODLOT" Government Authorities Favor the Word "Woodland" When Used in Reference to Farm Forestry. The increased interest in private forestry, particularly with reference to farm forestry, has brought about the general acceptance of the term "woodland" or "woods" instead of the original one of "woodlot," according to the forest service. A large proportion of the woodland in the eastern United States is in irregularly shaped tracts, spreading out over ridges, ravines, slopes, swamps, and poor lands, whereas "woodlot" carries the idea of a small-sized, regularly shaped, and, in a large section of the country, fenced tract. When applied to the large or irregularly shaped tracts, it is obvious that the word inadequately describes the conditions. "Woodlot" probably originated in New England and seems fairly well established there. So long as only conditions like those in New England were considered, "woodlot" was accepted as adequate, but in the last few years farm forestry has been developing rapidly throughout the country. "Woodland" and "woods" are more satisfactory, more expressive, and avoid the possibility of creating confusion in the minds of the people over most sections of the country where the word "woodlots" has never been in local use. Cleaning Your Plow. Many plows, even those that have been well covered with oil or axle grease, fail to scour readily when first taken into the field. The following method is being used by many farmers to overcome the inconvenience attending the use of a plow that fails to clean off quickly. The plow is taken to the nearby branch or creek and drawn a few times through the sand or gravel beds that invariably are found along water courses. It usually takes but a few turns to cut off the rust or hardened grease. Under no circumstances does the sand stick to the plow, no matter how rusty it may be; and if the gravel does not contain large stones the plow will not be dulled. Progressive Finance. We were curious to see just what ideas our twenty-eight-month-old urchin has about money. We showed him some pennies and asked him what they were. "That's money for the organ man," he said. We showed him a nickel. "That's big money," he said, and then added, "That's Hessia's money." Hessia being the delightful person who honors our kitchen. Then we showed him a one-dollar bill. There was no doubt at all in his mind as to where that belonged. "Mother's dollar," he said.—Philadelphia Ledger. Passed the Test A young man from our town had gone into a training school as an automobile mechanic. In one of their tests an automobile was taken apart and it was his duty to assemble each part to its respective place. He had done this with the exception of one piece, which was missing and which he could not find. The C. O. told this young fellow that it was up to him to get this piece, so, taking his superior officer at his word, he proceeded to take the missing part from the commanding officer's own car and he was one of four out of a class of 190 who passed the test.—Chicago Tribune. Triumph of Modern Ingenuity. A common nail is an excellent illustration of the difference between old and new methods. Formerly the metal was cut into strips and then forged into shape with hammers. Today they are made of steel and are lighter and stronger. Strips are cut with steam shears and fed into automatic nail machines. Cleaning Brass and Copper. For cleaning and polishing brass and copper, nothing is better than oil and rotten stone, and most of the good polishes on the market are made from these materials, with alcohol, turpentine, or soap.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION THEY ASK NO FAVORS BECAUSE THEY ARE NEGROES, BUT ONLY FOR JUSTICE, BECAUSE THEY ARE MEN.—Foraker. 47 47 ALEXANDER BROWN BROOKLYN NEW YORK THE BIGGER DAY. We are done with little thinking and we're done with little deeds, We are done with petty conduct, and we're done with narrow creeds; We have grown to men and women, and we've noble work to do, And today we are a people with a larger point of view. In a big way we must labor, if our flag shall always fly. In a big way we must suffer, in a big way some must die. There must be no little dreaming in the visions that we see, There must be no selfish planning in the joys that are to be. We have set our faces eastward to the rising of the sun, That shall light a better nation, and there's big work to be done, And the petty-souls and narrow seeking only selfish gain Shall be vanquished by the toilers big enough to suffer pain. It's a big task we have taken, 'tis for others we must fight, We must see our duty clearly in a white and shining light, We must quit our little circles where we've moved in little ways And work as men and women, for the bigger, better days. We must quit our selfish thinking and our narrow views and creeds. And as people, big and splendid, we must do the bigger deeds. —Anonymous. BLADELETS. We must do the bigger deeds! Be not content with your present conditions. Progress lies in discontent! There is no disgrace in a losing fight for the right. In a cowardly surrender is the greatest humiliation. In society men are seldom hampered by an unsavory reputation. With women it is different. Why? Ask George, he knows. Lars Swenson of South Dakota visits Milwaukee, is enamored of a certain "grass widow" and commits a fraud for which he is arrested. Now he says "It was the woman who caused it." A story as old as the human family itself. We do not regret the close of the war with the consequent return of peace, but if the war had continued a year or two longer Americans of African descent would have won for themselves a place that no rebel nor son of a rebel could take away. The National Association of Dancing Masters in session in New York declares that the "Shimmy" and other so-called vulgar dances are the product of Negro dance halls of Chicago and must go. Funny, isn't it, how naturally fashionable society adopts the vices of the Negro. Gustave Kerndl, a former Milwaukee police officer and a major in the U. S. Army during the war, is held for trial on charges of auto stealing while a patrolman. Very properly no blame attaches to his brother officers for his acts. If he were a Negro his entire race would be blamed and his act cited as proof positive of the Negro's unfitness to be a policeman. The difference lies in the color of the offender. AS TO THE NEGRO. Moved by we know not what, the Milwaukee Sentinel, in its issue of Aug. 28th, rushes to the support of Representative Byrne of South Carolina in his recent tirade against the Negro. Says our "Mason Street Contemporary": "With the Negroes remaining mostly in the south where their labor is desirable and for which labor they have special qualifications of nature and training and with the race protected from the ill advised and mischievous efforts of the so-called 'leaders' who are preaching discontent and revolt, the incentives to antagonism on the part of the white people will largely be eliminated and at the same time the discontent and hard feelings which found expression in Negro uprisings will be greatly reduced." Southern propaganda seems to have had its effect. No one who knows anything of the Negro's condition in the South and at the same time desires to be fair, could possibly pen those lines. He must know that the discontent on the part of the Colored people of Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina and other southern states, is due to so-called "leaders" than to the injustices and brutalities of the white people of those states. If the lawabiding Colored people were as completely protected from aggressions of whites as it is proposed to protect them from the "ill advised and mischievous efforts of the so-called leaders", there would be little incentive for them to leave the land where their labor is so "desirable." There is no question that the Negro naturally prefers the south. That he has remained there in such numbers in spite of the ill treatment he has received, is proof positive of that. Ask almost any one of the recent migrants the reason for his leaving the south and he will tell you that, which, in its final analysis, is a denial of opportunities accorded all other peoples. "Tis one thing to "know" the Negro and exude another thing to "be" a Negro and feel the sting in being such. That the Colored people of the south are "actually making progress, accumulating money, buying property and educating their children" is to their credit, not to that of their locus. It is in spite of the handicaps, not because of them. But what good is money and property when its value is less than that of other people who have less; when it is unable to protect one from insult or secure for the consideration of the poorest white citizen? Down in Houston, Tex., Mrs. Libbie Bautte, a teacher in the Colored schools, had a safety deposit box in the Union National Bank of that city. The usual notice that the rent of $3.00 would be due on May 14th was addressed to Libbie Bautte Nig and the envelope containing the notice addressed the same. The Sentinel man does not need to accept Mr. Byrne's analysis. He needs but to turn to the columns of his own paper to find the cause of the discontent. No black man is absolutely safe in the south. He knows that if not today, it may be tomorrow he will be called upon to pay the supreme sacrifice for daring to dispute the word of a white man. We know whereof we speak because we have lived there. In the breast of the average southerner is a deep-seated resentment against all Colored people because of the Emancipation Proclamation. Even if there were no so-called "leaders", the treatment accorded the Colored people is enough to breed discontent among angels. It is being noticed now because they have the manhood to resent it—a healthy change. SCISSORED THOUGHTS. (Fargo (N. D.) Forum.) It is for just such injustices as these that we are demanding the end of Turkish rule and the establishment of a mandatory for Armenia to protect her from Tukey and have the League of Nations place us under the control of some European nation in order to protect our colored citizens? The comparison sounds fantastic, yet the principle is the same. The conditions differ only in degree. (Richmond (Va.) Journal.) Where does the Evening Journal stand? asks the Square Deal, published under the auspices of the Richmond Central Trades and Labor Council. The question is propounded in relation to the admittance of Colored men to labor organizations composed of white person. Our reply is that we stand four square with the attitude of the American Federation of Labor which, in recent annual convention at Atlantic City, voted unanimously to admit 12,000,000 negro workers of the country to equal membership of all international unions. (Minneapolis Tribune.) There is not, or at least should not be, one law for whites and another for blacks. Unfortunately many distinctions of that kind have been made in this country to the detriment of its good name and fame. (Pittsburgh Courier.) It seems that the American white man has decided that the Negro is entitled to his meed of praise and reward for his share in the war; but along with that same concession, there is an evident determination to prevent the Colored soldier from entering fully into anything new, or larger, or better, or more liberal, than obtained when the Colored boy when to war. Everywhere there are signs of opposition, and discouragement. (Houston Informer.) As long as American citizens are disfranchised, segregated, jim-crowed, lynched, brow-teaten, intimidated, held in contumely and contempt, victims of lawlessness and mistreated generally because of their color, the riot spirit will be rampant. A SERIOUS SITUATION. That a serious situation confronts America in common with the whole world must be evident to every thoughtful observer. The relations between capital and labor are strained. Racial feeling and prejudice, instead of having been allayed by the great war, seems to have become more acute. This is particularly so in the United States. Despite the fact that our people fought for the right to fight to make democracy safe for the world and our race at home and abroad behaved most nibly in the face of grievous provocation to do otherwise, there seems to be a well-organized and pernicious propaganda to bring estrangement between us and our fellow Americans. It is foolhardiness to ignore this patent fact. There is apparently a well organized plan to discredit the Negro in well-disposed communities. Somebody, something is back of sensational headlines, so popular in American newspapers, of emphasizing and calling attention to alleged crimes of Nerroes. What is back of it? Is organized labor getting its orders from the south which is losing its labor to the north and west back of it? Possibly so. This, we believe, has entered into the plan, if indeed it was not primarily responsible for it. Or is it a continuation of the campaign of slander which was inaugurated by southern officers, like Colonel Greer, chief of staff of the Ninety-second division, to discredit black American soldiers in France brought back to America? Is it a continuation of the persistent campaign which we have preached to our soldiers abroad to the effect that they must not let the treatment accorded them by the democratic French people lead them to expect similar fair treatment in their own country? This is not impossible; indeed, we believe it highly probable. Whatever be the cause or the motive there is apparently a well organized plan to discredit the race in America and to bring estrangement between fellow Americans. A shortsighted, if not subsidized and malicious press, is contributing to this estrangement by playing upon the passions of the undiscriminating and thoughtless by its glaring and sensational headlines, emphasizing rumors of alleged crimes by Negroes. The situation is serious. To our people, we counsel restraint and self-control. We urge upon all to be most careful of their conduct. To do nothing to percipitate trouble. To do everything in their power to avoid giving offense. To the press we appeal to cease magnifying alleged crimes of Negroes by glaring headlines and thus appealing to the unruly passions of the populace. In these serious times we all need to keep our heads in every community, refuse to be swayed by prejudice or passion and work together for the common good.—The Monitor (Omaha, Neb.) "EDITOR TAFT VS. PRESIDENT TAFT. "Now that William Howard Taft has become a writer of editorial articles for newspapers, we fell that, within strictly professional limits, we are at liberty to deal with him even though a former President, as we might with any other brother. "Editor Taft was as strenuously opposed to the National Prohibition Amendment as any of us. But we now find that our learned journalistic confreere accepts the situation, and, because the amendment gives Congress full power to deal with the drink question, exhorts his fellow-citizens to fall in line with the extreme Prohibitionists and do everything in their power to make the crusade a success. "Although bygones should be bygones, we cannot help recalling the fact that from March 4, 1909, to March 4, 1913, our esteemed contemporary was President of the United States. As such he was bound by an oath to the best of his ability 'to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.' If he ever spoke a word or performed an official act during his term of office that was calculated in any way to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments as to the rights of Negroes, where are we to look for the record? "Prohibition in the Constitution is no more self-enforcing than citizenship for black men. When Editor Taft asks everybody to do for Prohibition what President Taft failed to do for millions of oppressed citizens, he will pardon us if we thus refer to the files"—New York World. A. E. L. J.

Milwaukee, Wis.—Laying the blame for the downfall of the German nation as a world power squately at the door of the former kaiser, William II, Gen. von Dudendorff in a remarkable book which he has just written lifts the veil for the first time on the intrigues and colossal blunders that were made within the "iron circle" from the time the world war began to the day the armistice was signed and Germany asked knowledgeful final defeat. Ludendorff perhaps is able to speak with authority more fully than any other German. He was the right-hand man of Field Marshal von Hindenburg through all the latter's campaigns on the eastern front in the early part of the war, and when Hindenburg was tendered the post of chief of the general staff he would not accept unless he could bring Ludendorff to great headquarters with him. When the weight of responsibilities became too great for Hindenburg, upon Ludendorff fell practically the whole responsibility of the 1918 campaign. He played with fate and lost—lost because he had not counted on the thousands of American boys from Wisconsin and other States who were thrown in to stem the tide of German invasion and who in the Argonne finally broke the hitherto invincible German line and placed Ludendorff in a position where he had to surrender or face the supreme military defeat of history. After the kaiser's downfall Ludendorff took his records to Stockholm, where he set about writing his book, not as a personal vindication, he says, but that the world should know the truth about the overthrow of Germany. The manuscript of the book was approved by the present German government. The book is regarded of such importance that the Milwaukee Journal obtained the rights to serialize it and will begin publication early in September. It tells completely and fully the story of German warfare on land and explains how this was affected by the failure of Germany at sea. It is said to contain many a revelation. Ludendorff goes back even to the period before a single blow was struck in the world war to make plain his story. Ludendorff says that Austria was a burden rather than a help to Germany; that the imperial chancellor, Bethmann-Hollweg did not back up the army chiefs; that the situation of Germany was serious from the first, that Germany had no inking of the Russian revolution. These are but some of his "points" selected at random. In order to round out the story of Germany in the war, The Journal has also arranged to publish a book on the sea warfare of the kaiser, now being written by Admiral von Tirpitz, who conceived the idea of the U-boat campaigns. His Book, also, is full of revelations as to what went on in Germany. The two together will present to the allied world for the first time the complete account of the working of German militarism. F.

Strangers in the City Either Catholic or Protestants me --- Uncle Joe Fell Among—Well, Say Profiteers. Charged $1.50 for One of the Absolute Necessaries of Life, He Has Renounced Yankees and All Their Works. Anyone who has ever had the maddening experience of being stung, stripped, robbed or muted of a goodly sum can and will sympathize with Uncle Joe Howsley, a gentleman from the Lone Star state, who came East on a little summer trip and fell among thieves, as he views the matter. Uncle Joe is an expert on watermelons, knowing the fruit from stem to blow end like a book. He is also familiar with watermelon etiquette, so his experience proved shocking in more ways than one. A writer in a Pittsburgh paper tells the story as follows: Uncle Joe owned a five-acre farm down in Shackleford county, Texas, until a few months ago. He then, through the will of a benign fate and the activities of an oil company, ceased being the owner of a farm and became an oilman with an income of several thousand perfectly good dollars a month. As a consequence, the wanderlust struck Uncle Joe and he accordingly hied himself northward to explore unfamiliar lands. Now he is going back to God's country, glad, suh, that the unfamiliar lasted for the years it did. Down in Uncle Joe's land the nec- tar known as the watermelon is a fa- vorite form of diet, and Uncle Joe is one of the epicures who when in his part of the world partook of the treat daily. Down there a melon of a size that would tax a man's strength to tote, suh, could be purchased for a five- cent piece. Or, If a field was at hand wherein grew the food of the gods, the taking thereof without the knowledge of the field's owner was considered no breach of the law. It is not strange, therefore, that on strolling about a city to view its sights, when "Uncle Joe's" eyes fell upon a restaurant in the window of which were displayed numerous inviting red and green melons, life took on an interest that it had not felt since his train had passed over the boundary of the Grand Old State. "Uncle Joe" hastened inside and called for watermelon. After what seemed much time, a slice, which "Uncle Joe" will testify was not more than two by six inches, was placed before him. "I said 'watermelon'; not a bite, suh," he announced outtight, when his amazement at the magnitude of the thing before him had passed sufficiently to allow him to speak. After much argument, he made the bewildered waiter understand that what he desired was a whole melon like any gentleman is served with down where they know how to serve it. "Uncle Joe" consumed the two halves placed before him in blissful ignorance of the outrage that was about to be perpetrated upon him. Then came the check! Watermelon, $1.50, suh! It wasn't necessary to send in a riot call, but be; a time it looked as though it might be. As it was, "Uncle Joe" stamped from the den of thieves, vowing vengeance against all Yankees in general and one Yankee restaurant in particular. Must Keep Climbing You can never let down the bars when you want to become great. The price is eternal vigilance. Even when success is assured you must keep on going. Men who become great by spurs usually sink into insignificance the same way. Besides making up your mind that you are going to succeed, you must see to it that you realize what's in your mind. Talking about what you expect to do will never bring it to pass. The up-hill is always before you. The only way to reach the top is to climb. You can command the means that takes you there it will save your energy for other things. Usually the energy you develop through the climb will be useful in days to come. The climb may tie you, but it will also make you appreciate the view.—Grit. Ancient Indian Burial Ground Beneath roots of two large trees two Indian skulls and other bones of the human body were found by workmen leveling mounds in the park on the shores of Lake Bemidji, Minn. The skulls and bones were badly decayed, but the teeth were in fairly good condition. Charcoal in large quantities was found in the vicinity of the bones, which indicates that the place was an Indian burial pyre, old residents say. It is believed that beneath the mound may be found many more bodies, but the workmen merely removed the top earth and, with the exception of a few bones which were gathered by souvenir seekers, the skeletons were again buried. No Doubt of That "Of course, you know that whisky is poison?" "Yes," replied Uncle Bill Bottle;op; "any kind you can buy now is mighty likely to be."

SMART PLAY ENGINEERED BY ROSS YOUNG IN RECENT GIANT-CUB GAME GOES WRONG ARY ZLEUTHER JIM VAUGHN ROSS YOUNG Some of Participants in Recent Giant-Cub Games. When a smart play goes wrong in baseball the player executing it usually looks like a deuce. That is precise how Ross Young, right fielder for the New York Giants and looked when he did some quick thinking—in fact, he thought too fast—in the eighth inning in trying to catch J. Vaughn on second base. That play was the turning point of the game, and resulted in the Cubs winning it, 3 to 1. Young was blamed by the New York supporters, but this was simply an instance of where a smart play went amiss. chant, to make the turb and by whipping the ball like a shot, which he catch Vaughn off the bag pitcher, thinking he is Mitchell give him the s on to third, kept on goin that bag, much to the Young and nearly ever park. Had Young wait before making his peg I caught Vaughn standing one of the best throwing the league. Play Unsets Gi Surprised Everybody Vaughn was on first, with one gone. Flack rapped sharply to right. Invariably on a hit of this sort the runner on first will dash to second, make the turn at that base, turn to look where the ball is and what the right fielder intends doing with it. Young expected Vaughn, who is not a speed mer- "LONG" TOM HUGHES RETIRES Career of Former Boston Braves Pitcher Ended—Gave Up After Disastrous Trial.

FO!L BIG GAMBLING CLIQUE Secretary Bobby Quinn Uses Nevel Plan to Break Up Noisy Crowd in Wing of Grandstand. Bobby Quinn, secretary of the St. Louis Browns, found a way to break up groups of gamblers who were wont to co-gregate. Along the right field wing of the grandstand and ply their farbous trade in open defiance of the police. Quinn called in the municipal authorities, but got no satisfaction. He employed private agencies, but still the wagering went on. Finally he went among the men himself and tried to break up the groups that obstructed the passageway. Finally he hit upon a plan that caused the gamblers to howl to heaven. He strung a series of signs along the girders, utterly blocking the view of the playing field from the rear of the stand. That did more than all the cops in the Mound City. One may walk in comfort through the St. Louis stand now without hearing the hoots and howls of the short enders. THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE RED BY ROSS YOUNG CUB GAME GOES WRONG ROSS YOUNG Recent Giant-Cub Game. chant, to make the turn at second and by whipping the ball to Fletcher like a shot, which he did, hoped to catch Vaughn off the bag, but the Cub pitcher, thinking he saw Manager Mitchell give him the signal to come on to third, kept on going and reached that bag, much to the surprise of Young and nearly everybody in the park. Had Young waited a moment before making his peg he would have caught Vaughn standing up, as he is one of the best throwing outfielders in the league. Play Upsets Giants This play rather upset the Giants. Manager Mitchell saw it, and sent Vaughn home on a double steal, with Flack. Gonzales in his eagerness to throw to Fletcher shot the ball to the ground and past Fletcher, letting Hipo count. Herzog then tripped to left center and Flack came across. FANS ATTACK EVANS. THINKING HE'S NALLIN Billy Evans, well-known unipire, was the target for a pop-bottle shower in Cleveland. The bottles flew from the first-base bleachers following a decision Evans made disastrous to the Cleveland team. And Evans' home is in Cleveland, too. Chief Folger of the league park police stepped to the vicinity of the pop-bottle hurlers and said: "That was a cowardly act, and the man who threw those bottles wouldn't have nerve to meet Billy Evans face to face." "Oh, was that Evans?" one of the fans yelled. "We thought it was Natlin."

"There have been some awful baseball feuds," says Pat Moran of the Cincinnati Reds, "but If I'm not mistaken, the worst of all exists between the towns of Orange and Athol, Mass. These cities hate each other—in baseball only—worse than Rome and Carthage, and the struggles between them are something terrible to talk of. The strangest thing about this rivalry is the fact that the fighting doesn't, as a rule, happen at the games. "The games between Athol and Orange are played with only the usual amount of scrapping, hooting and bottle pegging—just about as much as always happens at such intertown affairs—but after the game—good night, Fido! The trolley cars running between the two towns are rolling lunatic asylums, and the combat is incessant—nothing but flying fists on every car. The ball players long since learned not to get involved in these battles, they never use the cars, but slip quietly through the woods and hoof it home. As to the umpires—well, can you imagine an ump taking a chance on one of those trolleys? They slip up side streets and take secluded trails. On the cars the fight lasts for hours; the fans of Athol smash the fans of Orange; the fans from Orange smash right back; the car crews are powerless—and are usually in the thickest of the fight anyhow, being hot fans—and the battle lasts till the police at either end of the line collect all the fans they can capture. "One of the first games I ever played in—about twenty-five years ago—was between Athol and Orange, and I still remember seeing the cars pull out with everyone hitting everybody else on the nose. And it's been so ever since—the feud never gets cold. A business man of Athol may have the most confidential relations with a business man of Orange—may trust him with any sum of money—but if the two of them board the same trolley car after one of those games, they'll be found at the end of the line rolling in the aisle and clawing each other's gizards. That's real baseball, with real fans to help it on!"—Chicago Daily News. TOM NEEDHAM NEXT MANAGER Expected That Old-Time Backstop Will Willce Cravath If Latter Fails as Leader.

Perhaps it is Cincinnati's turn to win the pennant this year. In each of the last five years a different club has won. It went entirely around the eastern end of the circuit and now it seems the West is getting a crack at it. Boston won in 1914. Philadelphia in 1915. Brooklyn in 1916. New York in 1917. Chicago in 1918 and Garry Herrmann says Cincinnati will win in 1919. At that rate Branch Rickey may order a pennant pole for the Cardinals by 1921.—New York Sun.

Milwaukee, WI. --- 欽定四庫全書 WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Mexican Bandits Raise Nice Question of Ethics WASHINGTON.—President Wilson's cabinet split wide open on the following question: Was Captain Matlack justified in beating the Mexican bandits out of $6,500 of the ransom for the two army aviators? With the professors of ethics who supervised military morals during the war demobilized, there have been no authorities to turn to for a ruling, and it looks as if President Wilson, who instructed the senate committee on the difference between a moral and a legal obligation, would be called upon to decide this moral issue for the cabinet. LADRON! SANGRIE DE CRY IT WAS WRONG! IT WASN'T One group of cabinet members condemns the cheating of the bandits as dishonorable, declaring it reprehensible to break a promise made even to a criminal. Another group contends that the breaking of a promise made under a duress is justifiable. Then there is a utilitarian school of thought maintaining that the bargain ought to have been carried out implicitly because the impairment of our reputation with the bandits for good faith may embarrass future negotiations to ransom our citizens. The Mexican border's contribution to the controversy was that General Dickman was seeking ways and means to pay the remainder of the ransom to the bandits. The sportsman, who has a nice sense of honor in disputed questions of this kind, will unhesitatingly say that General Dickman is right. The average American will probably say: "Pay the bandits the money and then shoot 'em." Yankee Saleswomen to Sell Goods to Harem Women THE American women's chamber of commerce, the first organization of its kind having national and international scope, is trying to do these things: Prevent compulsory physical examination of American school teachers by man surgeons; extend through the Southwest and middle West a truck delivery of fresh vegetables, eggs, milk and other farm products, with girl drivers in charge of the trucks; popularize American lingerie and toilet articles among the sultan's daughters, and popularize American shoes among the women of China. BEE WALKER WALKER Mrs. Katherine Clemmens Gould, a founder and past president of the organization, who recently returned from a business trip to China, tells all about it. First attention is to be paid to the Smith-Towner senate bill for physical examination of women teachers. The chamber will insist that the examiners be women. And, while they are on the subject of teachers, the women of the chamber of commerce will fight to obtain for them a higher rate of pay. "We first had to educate the women of China," said Mrs. Gould, "who formerly believed that it was sinful to permit their feet to develop naturally. In many Chinese cities we have persuaded merchants to handle American-made shoes for women, and as the Chinese women gradually adopt the western custom a great field for the American shoe industry will be opened." Saleswomen have been sent to Turkey with a line of toilet articles and apparel and have had tremendous success. Mere men, she explained, cannot even approach the feminine Turkish customer. Navy Aviators Fight Unifying of Air Service Navy Aviators Fight Unifying of Air Service NAVY aviators are against the proposal to concentrate the air service of the army, navy, postoffice and coast and forest fire patrols under a single executive, probably a new cabinet member. Differing kinds of service, with special qualifications for each, make it necessary to keep the branches separate, they believe. CORSOLIDATED AIR SERVICE Capt. G. W. Steele, Jr., of the U. S. S. Shawmut shows the attitude of the navy flyers in the form of some manuscript prepared by him as commander of the work of the air fleet of the Atlantic squadron, department of navy aeronautics. Captain Steele and the Shawmut are now at Newport, R. I. Previous to its assignment there the boat was a mine sweeper on the Irish sea, but returned to American waters in time to handle the testing of the navy airships prior to their transatlantic flights, and later in Lisbon, where they landed. "There are reports," says Captain Steele, "that the proposed congressional legislation to consolidate the air services will provide for a separate cabinet officer as head of the department of aviation, and others that say the head of the aviation department will merely be a chief, such as the various bureaus of the army and navy have. "Either of these plans, or any other plans which take aviation for the navy out of complete control of the navy department will mean the service will suffer, and such legislation should be opposed. "A navy flyer has to know how to navigate, either from the flimsy cockpit of an airship or from the bridge of a vessel. He has to know how to do navy scouting, bombing and torpeding, coast patrol work, and finally the spotting of shots and regulation of navy fire." Captain Steel's conclusion is that the army aviator cannot know the difficulties of the navy flying game and it takes him years to learn his own. Uncle Sam Wants a Purchaser for a Model Town Uncle Sam Wants a Purchaser for a Model Town F ANY one is in the market to buy a town the war department has one for sale.
