AN APPEAL TO AFRo.AMERIcANs.

Afro Americans let'your voices rise,
Let your echoes rink thru the skies
That by your country you'll do the
right
That for your liberty you will fight.
Afro Americans betray not your trust
Nations blood has been shed for us
Then by your country you should be
true,
For your races success depends on
you.
Afro American upon you the lives
Hang on your sons, your daughters
andwives,
Then by your race you should fall
And abstain the things that injure us
all.
Afro Americans go on until you hear
The voice of God, ringing out SO clear
Come INTO me, you who the victory
has won,
AS to respect of persons l have none.
God we know created all mankind,
And in the midst the blackman you'll
find
Where you're going to shun him no
one can tell,
For he is sure to be found in earth,
heaven and hell.

FOR E
Father and Son, Because the Latter
Tried to Protect His Aged Parents
Let Us All Help Financially.
Colorado State Penitentiary.

Colorado state Pen1tent1ary.
Hon. N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: l am
enclosing herewith a copy of a decis-
ion handed down by the supreme court
of Colorado in regard to my case,
which was hastily tried in district
court of Otero county at La Junta,
Colo, in July, 1911, where | was in
stantly convicted and sentenced to
death and my aged father, a man of
near SO years, was also convicted az
an accomplice and sentenced from 30
to SO years at hard labor in state pen
itentiary. 1 was sentenced to death
for protecting my aged father and
mother, in their own home, and my
life at the cost of the lives of the two
brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro
hating, lawless policemen who were
assaulting my mother and father, and
seeking to murder me.
But after being denied a new trial
by the judge trying my case, my at
torney, Ex-Judge Lyman l. Henry OF
Pueblo, Colo, assisted by w. B. Town
send, a~ttorney-at-law of Denver, Colo,
diuCA at SlCoI CApChoC W oOOh VIA
zens of both races and members of
my lodge, the r. T. Coles lodge, No.
Sc, A. F. and A. M, Kansas City, Mo-,
and my fathers, Prudent lodge, No. 6,
A. F. and A. M, Kansas City, Kas,,
| succeeded in getting our case to the
supreme court, which readily reversed
the judgment of the lower court, and
granted me a new trial which will
soon come.
Now, dear sir, the fight has just
commenced as the prejudiced class in
that community Ire determined that
the sentence imposed on my father
and myself be carried out, and they
will use every means in their power
to gain their hellish ends, and to
thwart all in their desire to see me
get justice. l appeal to you for finan-
cial aid, if you a assist me in any
way through the columns of your pa
per, or otherwise, to meet the finan
cial demands involved, it will be great
Iy appreciated. My reason for sending
you a copy of the supreme courts de
cision and comments, is for you to SEE
clearly it was not an act trying or at
tempting to defy the law in any way
but one of protecting my parents ant
my life. I again beg to state that
am a worthy member Of r. T. Coles
lodge, No. sc, Kansas City, Mo, ant
my father, Joseph Harris, of Pruden
lodge, No. 6, Kansas City, Kas, bein!
a 80 degree man and a SO degree gen
tleman. So l appeal to you most ga
nestly, that you may do for us wha
you can. You may refer to your re
spective lodges as to u standing
Should you feel disposed to aid US
forward same to my mother, Mrs
Clara Harris, No. 1919 River street

to gain us justice and every n look
to her to be paid for any expense in

Yours respectfully and fraternall

THE REAL TRUTH.

Writing from London, one of the largest manufacturers of product in general usage says over his sigma ture.
 But Europe's misfortune is certain to be America's gain Things here are not very different upon the sur face from what they have always been. Food prices have advanced very little and luxuries are really cheaper than ever before"
 Yet here in the United States, and throughout almost all of the world, there was jump in the price of everything when war was declared.
 Haven't we made a great mistake in so letting foreign war interfere with our affairs?
 Isn't it barely possible that the commerce of this country had it been so disposed could have pursued the even tenor of it's way until it was ac. tually interfered with?

FOR ENTERTAINING ENT.

During the past few seasons Hot Springs has really had but two forms of entertainment to exploit for tho lure of that patronage which does mol come in search of health-the socia programs in the hotels, and golf.
 This season we will have certainly added the lure of good highways for auto travel out through the mountains and that will in a measure offset the loss of business which Florida resorts have drawn from us in recent years
 Suppose 1t develops that we can add even to this the announcement of a racing meet, under the Pari-Mutuels to be run during the early winter and the late spring.
 Then with the golfing. the high. ways open for motoring, the racing programs for the afternoon, and the social programs in the larger hotels for the evenings there will be suffi- cient inducement to pull a large pat ronage that is going somewhere dur ing the coming winter season.

GEAR AND KAISER
READY FOR DEATH
GRAPPLE IN EAST
Crucial Battle Impends as
German Columns and Re-
invigorated Austrians Push
Russians Back on Their
Own Soil.
LONDON, Oct. IA.

LONDON, Oct. Il.
All eyes today are turned to the east
ward where, under conditions of the ut
most secrecy, the Teutonlc allies and the
Russians are preparing to engage in what
may prove one of the most decisive COM
bats of the war.
Evidence is accumulating to show that
this gigantic conflict will be determined
in Russian Poland, and the only ques-
tion disturbing the British experts is as
TO which side has chosen the battle
ground.
Berlin admits having withdrawn from
the Nlemen River, and at the same time
discounts the whole movement in that
region as being of no strategic inn
portance
1t is now clear that Russia has aban-
doned the narrow point in Galicia be-
tween Przemysl and Cracow, Russian
forces having virtually occupied all of
Galicia with the exception of these two
places. Petrograd claims this operation
is due to strategic reasons while Vienna
maintains that reiuvenated Austrian
armies have relieved the Przemysl for
tress and driven the invaders out II is
unuuestioned that the more or less de-
moralized Austrian forces, stiffened by
German reinforccmonts, have resumed
the offensive, but there is no information
here to indicate that the Russian retire
ment is anything In the nature of a rout
resulting from vigorous fighting.
Whatever may be the intention of the
armies operating on the ends OF the great
Russian battle front, it is clear that
these movements have paled into insig-
nificance beside the tremendous forward
advance in the centre. Broadly speaking,
this is now the position of the antag-
onists awaiting the word to open the
engagement The main German armies in
Russian Poland are moving toward the
Tistula River on n north and south front
extending through Pietrkow, 90 miles
southwest of Warsaw, Kielce, and Busk,
on the Bug River, 30 miles east Of Lem
