MURDER0US RIOT RE-
PLACES NEGRO WA
TERMELON PARTY

Houston, Texas, Aug. 24.-Negro
troopers of the Twenty Fourth In
fantry have planned a watermelon
party last night, and arrangements
had been made to send out to their
camp street cars to take them to
Emancipation Park.
The melons had been purchased
by the war service commission of
the Chamber of Commerce as part
of the progam of entertainment in
tended to make pleasant the stay of
the troop in Houston. Three special
street cars had been ordered for the
accommodation Of the soldiers.
Instead of melon festival, the
negro soldiers staged a night Of
frightfulness such as could give the
German kaiser cards and spades and
then make him ashamed of ever hav-
ing entered into a conspiracy Of
pure hellfired fiendishness.
Instead of sending cars loaded
with melons to the men it was nec-
essary to send motor cars loaded
with officers and to bring away am
balances loaded with dead and
wounded.
The mutiny, punishable by death
under military regulations, had for
its origin an encounter between two
police officers Of Houston who, in
the discharge Of duty, arrested a
negro woman and sent to the police
station two negro soldiers who at
to interfere.
In vie wof the ugly temper of the
men following this episode, they
were ordered to remain in the bar
racks. They mutined, raided the
supplies and went forth
hell-bent, firing At every light and
1t every moving object.
Had it not been for the members
Of the Illinois National Guard, not
ably Company E, this mighty city, |
lnarmed would have been at the
mercy of the men armed with the
guns and wearing the livery of the
United States.
Loaded on motor trucks, the Illi-
nois troops circled the city, amid |
applause on every hand; dashed into
he San Felipe section, fought hand
with the negroes, quieted !
he camp and saved the situation. 1t
vas generally believed that the ILL
lois troops would avenge the death

If the best beloved officers of the
guard, who was murdered and mu-
ilated by the negro regulars.
Four dead members of the Hous-
on police department and two
wounded tell the story of gallantry
n the face of sure death. Riding
'wiftly into the thick of the shoot
ng, members of the police fought
ike heroes. They were exposed tar

'ullets wherever they went. It SEEM

When you have canned and pick

vegetables your family can use and
your cans and jar and bottles will
hold, when you have offered to give
some to your neighbors and found
that they too, have superfluity,
and when you can't even sell what
you have because everyone in your
little town is raising the same, what
are you going to do about it?

Man Who Guided Mont Blanc
Says Relief Ship Gave

HALIFAX. n. S., Dec. 15.-The sig
mails given by the steamer limo just be-
fore she crashed into the French mu-
nitions steamer Mont Blanc, causing
an explosion which wrecked the north
ern section Of this city, were not given
by Pilot Hayes in charge OF the Bel
gian relief ship, according to the firm
belief Of Francis Mackay. pilot on the
Mont Blanc expressed in his testimony
at the government inquiry into the
disaster today. Hayes, who was killed
In the explosion, was a careful ana
experienced pilot, Mackay said, and
could not have given the orders which
Mackay claimed sent the limo crash
ing into the munitions vessel.
Describing the signals that passed
between the two steamers, Mackay
said his object was to get both craft
into parallel positions. Suddenly, he
testified, the limo blew two blasts
when she seemed to be moving to
starboard. Five seconds later, he said,
he saw her throw a wake from the
starboard quarter of the propeller and
she swung quickly to starboard in the
course of the Mont Blanc. AS the limo
was travelling at good speed there
was no alternative, Mackay testified,
but for the Mont Blanc to go full
speed astern. and he so ordered. But
so quick had been the LIMOS maneuv-
ers, he said, that the order was too
late. He was thrown to the deck by
the force of the collision. he stated,
but there was no confusion on board
his ship and there was no misunder
standing of orders.
When the crew Of the Mont Blanc
took to the boats at his suggestion,
they headed for the Dartmouth shore.
It did not occur to him. Pilot Mackay
said. to telephone the city Of the i'm

German Education Caused the War.

German Education Caused the War.
DR.. E. O.. Sisson, president of the
University of Montana, has recently
made the following significant state.
ment concerning German education as
cause Of the war:
The schools Of Germany have been
used by the government as the chief
instrument for raising up a people
fitted to hear and believe the doctrine
of Deutschland uber Allies. Never since
the time of Sparta has education been
focust so relentlessly and so effective.
iy upon fixed and rigid national
aims; the aims and methods of the
German schools have all been subsery.
lent to these ends. The German pupiI
never asks a question; the teachers,
as more than one Of them said to me,
tell him all he needs to know. Listen
TO me, SO that you can tell me back
what / am telling YOU shouted
German teacher. to his class in my
hearing. This attitude of the schools
is simply the reflection of the attitude
or the state. For more than a hmm
dred years the German government
has been telling the people all thew
need to know, and training them to re-
peat 1t faithfully in word and deed.
The people on their part have listened
so long to the voice Of the state that
their ears are dulled to every other
sound. The dominant idea from first
to last is the greatness and glory of
Germany, especially as embodied in
the brilliant figure, and personality Of
the kaiser. Without these schools
telling the pupils all they need to
know, there could never have been
the extraordinary spectacle Of me-
dieVal antocracy projected into the !
twentieth century among a peouIeI
otherwise highly intellectualized.

.X-CzAR OBJECT
OF FCURIOSITYON
PARTOF CROWDS

ROGRAD.-Efforts of the fam
lily of Nicholas Romanoff, the deposed
emperor. to live in seclusion in To
kolsk, Siberia, and the curiosity dis
played by the Tobolsk natives toward
the former royal family of Russia, was
described by a correspondent of the
Novo Vremya writing from the Siber-
ian city to which the Romanoffs were
sent. 1t was because of this curiosity
on the part of the people that the
former emperor and his family were
transferred to the Abolak monastery,
IA miles from sTobolsk.
The Romanoffs occupied in Tobolsk
the house of the governor, which was
guarded by soldiers day and night. In
the day time, the Romanoff children
were often seen summing themselves
on the balcony and reading books, one
in a little white hat and the other
with uncovered head showing the
short hair cut after an attack of
typhoid fever. Generally few curl
GUS persons leaned against the pal
ings of the fence surrounding the gov
ernor's house watching what trans |
pired within but not interfering with
it's inhabitants. A special gate had
been constructed leading from the
house to the garden but the children
seldom used 1t as they were shy of
the Tobolsk public. This
garden was small but full of beautiful
flowers. Other members Of the Ro-
nanoff family occasionally strolled
through this little garden.
Not long after the royal exiles ar
rived in Siberia, instructions we're re-
ceived from Petrograd directing that
the municipal gardens be placed at
heir disposal and that passage be
through it to the nearby
church so that the Romanoffs could F
attend divine service. The garden
vas ordered-to be closed to the pub
ic while the Romanoffs used it.
When the former emperor, his wife
md children went to the church re-
,ently, great number of people gath.
,red outside the gates of the gov0 i
lor's house to watch their passage. A
,uard Of soldiers lined the street. The
ormer empress, Alexandra Alix, was
wheeler in chair to the gate of the
,arSen, dressed in gray and wearing
small black hat. She appeared i'll
r exhausted. Behina walked Nicholas
q military dress, and behind him thel
ormer crown prince walking between
lis two elder sisters. Then followed
he other two sisters and the former
oyal suite, all walking with hurried
teps and lowered heads trying to-
void the gaze of the public On
eaehing the gate leading from thel
lunicipal garden Alexandra Alix rose :

Salads have been thought by many tc

ity they should be part of the daily

the attractive appearance OF salads would
be reason enough for their frequent use
The minerals contained i'm the fruits
and vegetables used in salads are very
important to the body, says Farm and
Preside, and many of these would not
be used in any other way.
The oil in the salad dressing is an
other important item to be considered in
the food salUe of salads.
Fish, meat, fruits vegetables. nuts,
cheese. and great many other foodstuffs
are used in giving variety.
A light salad may be served with a
heavy dinner as substitute for des-
sert. while heavy salad of meat or fish
may be served as the main part of a
luncheon or supper
The farm housekeeper has an excellent
variety of material for salads from her
garden and orchard in the summer, while
in the winter canned vegetables and
meats may be used.
ANY salad served on lettuce leaves is
an attractive as well as healthful ad
dition to the dining table

The Empress Also Is Cut Off
from the Outside
World

Weak and haggard and apparently re-
signed to his fate, the former emperor
of Russia, Nicholas Romanoff, has ar
rived at the Tsarskoe Selo palace, where
he is incarcerated. He expressed his read
mess "to go anywhere and submit to
any decision" of the new regime, accord
ing to yesterdays report from Petrograd.
The former czarina, who already is i'm
prisoned at the palace, has been denied
the privilege of communicating in any
way with the outside world and is close
ly watched night and day by guards. The
provisional government intends to give
the royal eaptives no opportunity of or
ganizing any movement against the new
rulers. First to greet the new Russia
was American Ambassador Francis.
Washington received long dispatch
from him pointing out that the new
Russia was founded on the same prin-
ciples which had inspired the trainers of
the American republic and that its lead
ers stood for all "that this country held
sacred" In the circumstances Washing
ton could but acquiesce. The entente al
lies also have formally acknowledged the
new government.
