May Be the Beginning
Of the Irish Civil War

Several persons were hurt by the
clubs of the police and by rifle bull
lets and rifle butts. The reports as
to the subsequent happenings differ,
but the main body of the volunteers
fled and reached the city by cutting
across fields with their rifles.
Meantime the fighting had become
known in the city, which was ablaze
with excitement, and big mobs col
lected in the streets through which
the soldiers were expected to return.
AS soon as they appeared there were
shouts of rage, and there were fol-
lowed by volleys of stones.
The soldiers marched on until they
reached the Bachelors walk, on the
Quay bridge, where the shooting be-

fired first with revolvers.

The mob then pressed forward and
threatened to sweep the soldiers with
the cevolvers. The troops were or

of the mob, which was DONE The mob
ignored this and the soldiers then
fired G. volley of ball cartridges into
the crowd. A number of people
dropped and there were shrieks Of
lage and pain. After this the soldiers
proceeded to their barracks.
Subsequent inquiries showed that
three men and woman had been
shot dead and that from thirty to
sixty persons, mostly men, had been
wounded. 1t is reported that some of
the wounded, including a child of 10
years, are dying.
After the volleying by the troops

1t seems that the mob displayed no

local Democrats Desert
Their Party This Season

Several of the county candidates
who lave been canvassing the county
call attention to what they consider
an unusual condition among the large
Lumber of southern people in the val
ley. They say that very large per-
centage of these voters are repudi-
ating their old-time party allegiance
and are planning new alliances here.
Some of these men state that they
will vote the Republica nticket, but
larger number are finding their new
alliance with the Progressive party.
This is in line with the statement
that comes from parts of the old

city On Sunday for the suburban re-

suspense for news. Early in the fore
noon crowds began to converge in Un-
der den Linden, and on the Avenue of
Victory, and at 10 o'clock a renewal
of the manifestations before the Aus
trian embassy began.
AS a detachment of the Kaiserin
Augusta regiment marched up Unter

guards, with the band playing martial
music, it was followed by several thou
sand people with thunderous cheers
and shouts of "Hoch der Deutschland"
"Hoch der kaiser!" and "Hoch Aus

The guardhouse at the Brandenbur-
ger gate and the monuments of Bis

the Column of Victory were the mec-

Dublin, July 27-There was Sc
rious riot here yesterday afternoon,
curing which four persons were killed
and thirty seriously wounded by the
bullets and bayonets of regular sol
diers. The affair, which, it is feared,
is the precursor of further serious
troubles, may even possibly be the
beginning of the dreaded internecine
strife.
The outburst was the outcome of a
nationalist gun-running exploit.
About 1000 national volunteers pa
raded early in the day and marched
to Howth, about ten miles away, for
the purpose of landing a thousand ri
files. On their arrival at the pier,
signals were made to a white yacht
which had been maneuvering in the
tay. The yacht promptly started to-
wards the shore, and when she came
to the pier and began discharging her
cargo of rifles and ammunition, two
members of the royal constabulary,
who tried to interfere, were shoul-
dered aside and forced outside the
lines of the national volunteers who
held the pier and barred access to it.
A body of coast guards got beside
the yacht in their boat, but were or
dered away and it is reported were
threatened with revolvers. AS soon
as all the cargo had been landed the
national volunteers started to return
to Dublin.
Meanwhile the authorities at Dub
lin had been warned of what was go
ing on and a detachment of forty to
sixty policemen and 100 men of the
Kings Own Scottish Borderers had
been sent to intercept the volunteers.
When the latter arrived at Nalahide
Road in Clentarf they found their way
LOCKED by the police, with the guards
with fixed bayonets behind them. The
police were ordered to disarm the VOL
unteers, who resisted, and a sharp
fight cnsued.

The prediction is freely made that
there will be an unusually early re-
turn from the summer vacations this
season, and in fact there are a good
many persons already coming back.
There is yet in sight about six
weeks of summer, but so far the heat
has bothered no one seriously, while
those who have become tempered to
the climate have found the summer a
very agreeable one.
Comparatively few nights have been
too warm for comfort this season, and
every person has enjoyed good rest at
night.
Just about the usual number of
people have gone from the valley this
season, and they are widely scattered
through mountains and beaches and in
the coast cities.
Ordinarily they would not be ex-
pected to come flocking back until

Upton MUST RACE AGAIN
IF SHAMROCK " WINS

New York, July Eff Sir Thomas
Linton is successful in his fourth
nuest for the Americas cup and wins
with Shamrock ", q challenge Will
he issued at once for q race next year.
Robert E. Tod, member of the New
York Yacht Club, is ready to try to
win the trophy back, and he will ask
the New York Yacht Club to chal-
lenge, naming his schooner Katoura.
The Katoura was built by the Herre-
shoffs last winter and in her trials
che ha, shown herself to be wonderful
lv fast. In recent spin on the sound
she made more than fourteen nautical
miles an hour. She is 110 feet long
and has an enormous sail spread. The
mast Of the Reliance was heightened
and q now the mainmast of the new
schooner and the steel mast OF the
Constitution is the foremast. The ka-
toura was built to the requirements
Of the European rule of measurement,
and under Lloyd's survey, as those
1ules require. The only part OF the
vessel that does not at present come
up to the Lloyd's requirements Is the
anchor equipment. Her anchors ana
chains are somewhat lighter than
those in use on European yachts, but
they can be changed easily.
Should the Shamrock ~ win the
cup the next series of races will be
sailed on Belfast Lough and the COM
netting yachts will have to conform
to the rules of the Royal Ulster
Yacht Club. Herreshoff has built two
big yachts to those rules, the West
ward, for Alexander Smith Cochran,
which won everything possible in her
campaign on the other side, and the

of her kind ever built in this coun-

CATTLE TO COME
ACROSS THE LINE

Ell Paso, July 27.-Abandonfng all
hope of ever being able to return to
his vast landed estates in Mexico, Cen
eral Luis Terrazas, multi-millionaire
of Chihuahua, has closed deal with
j. E. Garrett of Corpus Christi, Tex,
for the sale of all the Terrazas cat
tie remaining on the ranges in Chi
huahua. Garrett, representing a syn
dicate of Chicago and eastern men,
paid $3,00O,0O0 for the cattle, which,
under the terms of the sale, must num-
her 100000 head.
General Terrazas announced upon
the closing of the transaction, that
lie would not return to Mexico, but
would make his home in Los Angeles,
and would maintain offices in Ell Paso,
in the hope of finally being able to
save something from the wreckage OF
mis- great fortune.
The sale Of the Terrazas cattle, the
largest ever made in Mexico or the
Southwest, has been approved by Gen
cral Francisco Villa, who has given
assurances that protection will be CIV
en- the cowboys sent into Mexico to
round up and drive the cattle to the
American side. Garrett says he will
put 400 Americans cowboys in Mex
leo to begin the roundup of the cat
tie. In addition, several hundred Mex
lean cowboys, already on the ranges,
will be employed, and the cattle will
all be driven to the American side
as quickly as possible. All of the cat
tie found to be in condition will be
shipped to the Kansas City and Chi
cago markets, and those needing fat
tening will be put on ranges in west
ern Texas.
The deal marks the end of Terrazas'
rule in Chihuahua. For half CEN
tury General Luis Terrazas had been
the greatest land baron in Mexico, his
landed estates covered more than one
half Of the entire state of Chihuahua,
the Mexican Central railway running
through the center Of the estate and
passengers on the trains going to the
south would travel for more than
day through land owned by Terrazas.
On the land were more than one
hundred thousand poems who virtu-
ally were the slaves of the rich Mex
lean by reason of the peonage system
prevailing in Mexico. This property
now is in the hands of the constitu-
tionalists, having been seized by Villa.
Buildings and furniture in them have
been taken by the rebel soldiers and
now grace scores of adobe houses,
and of the more than 100000 head OF
cattle originally owned by Terrazas,
only the 100000 sold today have been
left by the rebels.

Early Return Predicted
From Coast Vacations

late IN September, but it is believed
an unusual number will be home by
the first of the month.
When one analyses the summer
there is nothing in it that is discon>
certing to anybody. 1t is true that
in June there was one day when the
mercury got to Ill, but there have
been only two or three days that APP
preached that high, and the typical
summer day this year has been 104,
which is not severe weather in this
dry climate.
1t is true the summer is long, and
a break in the way of a vacation is
desirable for all. But this does not
furnish justification for remaining
away from the valley during the en-
tire season, to the detriment of the
industrial affairs, and the men at least
will be back to start things going
early this year.

Strength of Nations.

Strength of Nations.
Six million men are available for
war duty in the event that the crisis
between Servia and Austria Hungary
should involve all Europe.
Austria, large as she is in territory
and population, does not outnumber
Servia in available trained men so
heavily as might be expected. But
the seriousness of the situation lies
in the fact that once hostilities be-
tween the two principals begin gen
eral war might be inevitable.
Should Russia make good her threat
to aid Servia it is believed Germany
and Italy would join their ally, Aus
tria. In such a circumstance it is
believed that Great Britain and
France, the two remaining powers in
the triple entente, would not permit
their ally, Russia, to fight such Sc
rious battle alone. This might mean
the arraying of Russia, France and
Great Britain-and possibly Rou-
mania-on the side of Servia, and Ger
many and Italy on the side of Austria,
witt the possibility that the other
Balkan nations and Turkey may be
drawn into the quarrel.
Austria's army is credited with a
peace strength of 415,O0O men and
1880 guns, which the first line re-
serves would increase in few days
to 100000 men. Behind these could
he mustered hundreds of thousands Of
men of varying ages who have had
military training and who would fill
the gaps in the field army.
Serva can mobilize all of her male
population able to bear arms to the
number of 324,000 in a fortnight's
time, although she maintains only &c.
600 men in time of peace.
AS Austria must guard the Russia
frontier and leave some troops in the
great Slav territory to restrain out
bursts of revolution, it can be seen
that an army she might attempt to
throw across the Danube into Servia
would not be of overwhelming
strength. Then, too, the Scrvian army
is largely composed of veterans with
6 record of first-class achievement in
the Balkin wars.
Germany's field army in time of
war numbers 100000 men, and her
entire system of mobilization and
strategy is based upon an invasion OF
France and simultaneous resistance
to a Russian attack upon her back
door. Behind this field army stands
an active reserve of 100000 men of
the Land wehr, and behind them still
100000 men who have had military
training.
On g peace footing the Russia army
numbers 1,384,000 men of all corps,
distributed over her European and Ash
attic possessions. Many of these men
would not be available for use in an
European war. But military experts
conceGe that Russia could hurl gerat
army of 100000 men across the Ger
man and Austrian frontiers, these men
comprising the regular European army
corps and the first line reservists. Be
hind them in turn are several million
trained and partly trained men.
France, too, would be an effective
ally of the Servians on land. The
active army within continental France
is thought to number about 100000
men, and an outbreak of war would
mean the instant increase of the field
army to strength of 100000, which
might be still further increased by
the recall of troops from Algeria and
drafts from 100000 trained servists
Of the second line.
On a peace basis the Italian army
consists of slightly more than 100000

BY REV. QUINCY EWING.

But we are very far from needing
to rely upon any general consideration
in support of the proposition advanced
above. 1t is supported by evidences
on every hand, waiting only the eye
of recognition. Scarcely a day passes
but something is said or done with this
end in view, to emphasize, lest they
forget, the conviction for both white
man and Negro that the latter is and
must remain an inferior. Let me in
stance few such evidences.
Consider, first, the "Jim Crow" legis-
lation in the manner of it's enforce
ment. Such legislation is supposed to
have for it's object the separation of
the races in trains, street cars, etc., to
save the white people from occasional
contact with drunken, rowdy, illsmell-
ing Negroes, and to prevent personal
blacks. Members of the different
races occupy the same cars, separated
only by absurdly inadequate little
open-mesh wire screens, so tiny and
light that conductor can move them
from one seat to another with the
strength of his little finger. Needless
to add, these screens would serve to
obscure neither sound, sight, nor smell
Of drunken rOwdies who sat behind
them! In summer cars, black and
white passengers may be separated
not even by a make-believe screen;
they are simply required, respectively
to occupy certain seats in the front
or the back end Of the cars.
In Birmingham, Alabama, the front
seats are assigned to Negroes in all
closed cars, and the back seats in all
open ones. Why the front seats in the
one case, and the back seats in the
other, it is not easy to understand in
the light of the letter and alleged
spirit of the Jim Crow law! The un-
DERIVING purpose of the law is clearly
not the separation of the races in
space; for public sentiment does not
insist upon it's fulfillment to that end
The underlying purpose of it would
seem to be the separation of the races
in status. The doctrine of inequality
would be attacked if white and black
passengers rode in public conveyances
on equal terms; therefore the Negro
who rides in public conveyance
but as with the white mans regula-
ton. "This place you may occupy,
that other you may not, because am
! and you are you, lest to you or to me
it should be obscured that am | and
you are YOU" Such is the real spirit
of the Jim Crow laws.
Why is it that in every Southern
city no Negro is allowed to witness
dramatic performance. or a baseball
game, from a frst-class seat? In
every large city, there are hundreds of
Negroes who would gladly pay for
first-class seats at the theatre and the
baseball game, were they permitted to.

withheld because theatres and base.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER "a, 1914
NEGRO AND NEGRESS."

Some of the Colored people of Bos-
ton are protesting to the editor of a
daily paper there against the use of
the word "negress" when referring to
Colored women. The justice of the
protest must be apparent to every man
and woman of color. There is no more
obnoxious word, no word more insult
ing than is the reason for it's use. And
yet what real opposition for it's use
can Colored people man when great
number of our men refer to them
selves as "Negroes?"
Negro" is no more a suitable name
for the Colored people of this country
than "dago" is for Italian or "Sheeny''
is for the Jew. And to capitalize it
gives it no more dignity nor respect
than to not do so.
This paper referred recently to the
power of the White press over it's
Colored readers. That power is not
more plainly shown in that the per-
sistent use Of the word negro" by it
has caused even the races leading
men of thought to adopt the word.
This having been accomplished the
White press is now beginning to use
the most offensive term "negress" as
descriptive of Colored woman.
Colored people should avoid the use
of the word negro wherever possible
by the White press as to throw it
into disrepute. But if we, ourselves
use the word for Colored men, logical
ly we can not object to "negress' for
Colored women. Regular writer's on
this paper never use either word and
when negro" appears in these
columns it is used by Others
The very etymology OF the word
shows it is not a proper noun and
hence can not be used as the name OF
a people. And, whenever it is used
by prominent Colored people they are
either consciously or unconsciously
kowtowing to the Whites, whether
they call themselves the Negro Bust,
ness League or the recently formed
Negro Fraternal Congress.
THE APPEAL heartily approves the
above excerpt from the Louisville.
;Ky.) News. The colored people who
use the word NEGRO in describing
themselves are making terrible mis-
take. They may mean we'll but they
are certainly misguided.
The word NEGRO" ought to have
died with slavery. When the former
slaves were liberated they were nc
longer Negroes but Americans and
they ought to be proud of their Amer
lean citizenship and endeavor to make
