Many of the wounded looked at
Marta even more than at the flowers.
1t was good to see the face of q wom-
an. her eyes limpid with sympathy,
and It was not what she said but the
way she spoke that brought smiles in
response to hers. For she was no
solemn ministering angel, but high
spirited, CHEEKY, Of the sort that the
major surgeon would have chosen to
distribute flowers to the men. Every
remark of the victims of war made its
distinct and indelible impression on
the gelatin of her mind.

Yes, he was right next to me In the

smile? It was wonderful"
"And old Bert StranskyI I heard

Yes; don't these little bullets make

"oh-oh-can't you go easier?
oh-h-h-" the groan ending in clench-
ing of the teeth.
Hello, Jake! You here, too, and
going in my automobile? And we've
both got lower berths!"
"Sh-h! That poor chaps dyingl"

mother, and prayers to be put out of
misery. A prod of the hypodermic
from the major surgeon, and "On the
operating table in fifteen minutes" was
the answer to Martas question II the
poor fellow would live.
Until dark, In groups, at intervals,
and again singly, the wounded were
coming in from a brigade front in the
region where the rifles were cracking
and the shrapnel clouds were hanging
prettily over the hills; and stretchers
were being slipped into place in the
ambulances, while Marta kept at her
post.
I'VE shan't have much more to do at
this station" said the major surgeon
when a plodding section of infantry In
retreat arrived.

THERE'LL BE SOMETHING DOING
WE HOPE.

The state of California seems bound
to be of some assistance finally in
settling the status of the railroad
porter insofar as tipping has been
made part of his income. The Pull
man Company pays the porter $3.50
per month for services and the State
of California considers this altogether
too small wage upon which a man
can live Just how much the Pullman
Company expects the public to pay
per month to each porter to make up
the balance of the wage of the porter
and just what the company estimates
that balance. to be, and whether or
not the Pullman Company cannot find
enough money to pay the porter a
living wage out Of the enormous
dividends" and melons," which are
cut and distributed almost yearly to
the stockholders, are some of the
main matters which will be brought
to light by the proposed investigation.
To this might be added the query as
to how much of the linen of the COM
pany is paid for out of the regular
monthly deductions for "lost linen"
from the porter's ''princely" monthly
wage?

TO THE PUBLIC.

The Colored Citizens Civic and Com
mercial League, Incorporated, has re-
moved it's charter and belongings from
10 Washington Ave-, North, Mime
apolis, and is at present without per-
manent club rooms; temporary head
quarters, 1920 Met. Life Bldg, Min
neapolis, Mimi, at the Office of the
president, VIM. H. H. Franklin.
The members and directors were
and are resolved, at whatever cost,
to keep implicit faith with the public
and themselves, and on account of
the unlimited license given colored
Clubs by the city authorities, the
directors found it impossible to meet
the competing bids for the location,
No. 10 Wash. Ave. So. It was a ques-
ton of allowing either the conditions
to exist at this address that exist in
every other colored dive in Mime
apolis, viz, protected vice, or, keep
ing up our ideals and our faith with
the public. We have chosen. We
shall not be connected, in any man
ner, with said place, hereafter, nor in
any wise responsible for what occurs
therein or thereat.

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1914-05-02

THE APPEAL does not object to
the collection of funds for proper edu-
cational purposes but is opposed to
some of the methods of these unctuous
collectors, who are evidently more in
terested in providing food and drink
and raiment for their own fat and
sleek bodies than in uplift work.
In order to curry favor with the
whites, they make false. and disgust
ing statements in their speeches,
praise their Southern oppressors, up
hold segregation and laud their own
degradation. If the South is so at
tractive as they picture it, they ought
to stay there and not come North to
injure their brethren by their, i'm
crow utterances.
They have done incalculable harm
in the North and they teach the same
stuff in their schools. that they talk
when on this side of Mason and
Dlxon's line. God help the students
under their control.

Mems Club Opening.

The formal opening of the "Men's
Club" at the parish hall of St. Peter
Claver Church last Monday evening
was quite notable event. The club
was organized some weeks ago, but
has just been fitted up with patent
exerciser, punching bags, boxing
gloves, dumb bells, pool table, nucleus
of a library, etc., and makes quite
an attractive appearance, and doubt
less will soon become a popular re-
sort of young and old of both sexes
as, one evening each week is to be
Ladies' Night" Upward of seventy
five persons, many being ladies, were
present Monday night and listened to
the program consisting of piano
prelude by Miss Patrick, the organist
of the church, solo, ooh, Dry Those
Tears" by Mrs. Hattie Loomis-O Oliver;
address by Archbishop Ireland, who
was fttingly introduced by Father S..
L. Theobald, president of the club;
address by G. D. O'Brien, Esq.,; adj
dress by Father Reardon, editor of
the Catholic Bulletin, and as finale
number of very clever tricks in
parlor magic by Mr.. A.. B. White. It
is needless to say that the address
by the Archbishop was replete with
sound, wholesome advice and words
OF encouragement, as also was that of
Mr.. O'Brien and Father Reardon.
After the program refreshments were
served and a general good time was
had by all present until late hour.

BEGGARS WHO HARM.

Just now the North is overrun by
Afro-American beggars, who are col
lecting contributions for colleges and
universities, which are alleged to have
been organized for the "uplift' of the

thies with queer names, weighted
down with a string of degrees, con-
ferred by some 2x4 university, hailing
from strange towns, are telling of the
wonderful work they are doing for
their people and incidentally asking
for cash to continue their operations.

WHO IssYouR REAL FRIEND?
At first it seemed an inadvertent
error that Mr.. Powers was not asked
to join the Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, Now
that Mr.. Nash's membership in that
organization is being deliberately used
to oppose Mr.. Powers the error seems
well designed.
Mr.. Powers is and always has been
an active friend of our people. He is
modest and always operates, quietly.
Through the Sunshine Society his
family has done much for needy Col
ored people, but they do not parade
it.
Last Christmas when the Goodfel-
lows Club had not sufficient means to
care for demands, and when others
said "We will care for our own first"
Mr.. and Mrs. Powers deliberately
chose Colored children to care for.
Mr.. Nash's closet friends are the
people who control the Y. M. G.. A.
and locked the doors of that institu-
ton against Colored boys, and affable
person, who is attempting to build up
a machine to beat Congressman Stew
ems this fall
Mr.. Powers friends are the persons
who have, opened every political door
way that the Colored poole of st. Paul
enter, beginning with the Fire De-
'partment and ending with Mrs. Boo
kers appointment as Assistant Matron
at the County Jail, including appoint
ments at the State Capitol, Frank
Kingry, deputy sheriff, and O. C. Hall
clerk in office of County Auditor.

SPREAD OF MOHAMMEDANISM.

ST Menu VI 1AMMEDANISM.
Every true Christian should be glad
to learn of the remarkable growth of
Mohammedanism. Among the colored
peoples of the world it is outstripping
Christianity.
This may seem queer statement
but it is true. Christianity is so de-
scadent in America today that there
are few real Christians except Afro
Americans.
The souls of American Caucasians
have been so warped by the Infamous
color prejudice rampant in this coun-
try that in the majority of cases they
are not true followers of the Nazarene.
Before the awful color line American
Christianity stands paralyzed and
dumb
There are today 100000 more Mos
lens than Christians in the British
empire. One-seventh of the whole
human. race is Mohammedan and the
proportion is not at a standstill; it is
increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa
more natives are becoming Moham-
medans every year than are turning to
Christianity. Today nearly all of the
sacred places named in the Bible are
under Mohammedan rule.
There is a reason why the colored
races cling to the religion of Moham-
med. It is a religion in which there
is no color line. The brotherhood of
man is not a mere figure of speech as
it is in Christianity, but living real
ity. The orientals are too shrewd to
be caught in any large numbers by a
jimcrow religion, for that is what it
means when Caucasian Christianity
gets them into it's clutches.
The conquest of Colored America for
Mohammedanism has not yet begun,
but it is coming some day, THE AP-
PEAL believes and predicts and the
brotherhood religion will spread like
wildfire. ..
