APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT

At great public meeting in New York
City held in the st. Mark s Methodist Epis-
copal church, of which DR.. w. H. Brooks
has been the pastor, but has recently re-
tired and taken up his duties as chaplin of
the Fifteenth New York Colored Regiment,
that sails for France in the very near fu-
ture, the following resolutions were passed
touching on the East St. Louis horror:
Whereas, the awful atrocities. at East
st. Louis, ILL.,, in which helpless men,
women and children were killed ard their
dead bodies burned with more than hea-
thenish brutality for the offense of desiring
to give an honest days work for an honest
days wages, and
Whereas, these murders were commit
ted in the northern state which holds the
ashes of the immortal Abraham Lincoln
and
Whereas, this new outburst of cruelty is
likely to recur at any time in any Of the
great centers of industry in the North, be
it, therefore
Resolved, That we, representing the
law-abiding colored citizenship of New
York City, do hereby register our utter
abhorrence>~of the East st. Louis massacre
and Of the spirit which expressed itself in
that massacre, and as loyal American citi-
zens call upon the President Of the United

blacks, what great country it would be
and what noble men and women would it
contain Col. Young is in line for higher
promotion than any colored man has ever
enjoyed in the United States Army and the
word went out that he must be headed off,
and to do so the doctors were called in and
they pronounced him physically disquali-
fed for further duty and recommended his
retirement, but this met such a storm of
protest that the Wilson administration had
to back up. Had COL Young been in the
service of the French government instead
of this he would be in line for the highest
place in the regular army and instead of
being hindered he would be pushed along
by his fellow officers. No wonder the Me-
gro loves to fight for the French.

COLORED FOLK PROSPEROUS

In spite of the atrocities of the East st.
Louis type the colored man all over the
North, East and West is doing things he
never before had an opportunity to do, and
earning more money per capita than ever
before in the history of this country. Re-
Gently colored musicians were hired for
most of the pleasure boats on Lake Erie
running out from Chicago and all are to
receive princely wages You can not keep
a good man down and if the colored man
will continue to fit himself to do just a
little better than seems necessary then he
will continue to break into new fields of
labor, his color to the contrary notwith-
standing. The Wilson administration does
not want him to 60 to war and to that he
has no serious objections, but when the
others 60 to war and those left behind need

FIGHTING FIRES IN TIMBER
Aid Rendered by Alidaae and Phone il,
ConfIagrations That Threaten I'M
nense Loss.

Battles against timber fires in the
great national forests of the West are
conducted with wonderful degree Of
precision and strategy, as the result
Of systematic operations Of the United
States forest service.
According to the Popular Science
Monthly, a forest supervisor who may
be many miles from the scene Of
fire, marshals his forces and freight
ing facilities and directs the attacks
and flank movements Of his men.
Lookouts stationed on mountain
peaks and other promontories that
command a wide range of vision are
each supplied with plane table to
which is attached map Of the sur
rounding country, its position being
determined by means Of a compass.
The map is inclosed in a segmented
circle and the location of the station
is indicated by a pin. A simple ali
dade Gan alidade is the upper part OF
a surveyors theodolite) consisting Of
a ruler with uprights for sighting pur-
poses at either end, Or some similar
device, is included in the equipment.
When a lookout sees smoke issuing
from a portion of the forest over
which his station commands a view,
he Immediately sights it with his ali
dade and notes that it is coming from
point so many degrees east or west
of q north and south line extending
| through his station. He notifies his
/ supervisor by telephone, telling him
Of c,i1 Of no fro
j location. Lookouts in other sections
! of the forest also detect the fire and
! make similar reports to the supervis-
or's headquarters. Reports from two
or more stations enable the supervisor
to locate the fire on map by means
Of intersecting lines.

Gloria herself would be at Mulry's Of
nee. The stenographer was more i'm
pressed by Lois clothes than by her
attempts to be casual in her inquiry
as to Mulry and *'the papers Of Door
Mr.. Freneau"
Ihe stenographer murmured to the
boOkkeeper: 1.-TWO swell danes car,,,-
In on Mr.. Mulry's trail the same day!
Sometimes goin' on here that amt
gettin' into the letters he dictates
to me-"
So she did not tell Lois of Gloria's
presence, and Lois went away in
turmoil of anxiety as great as that in
Gloria's mind when she heard Lois
ask about poor Mr.. Freneau." A
knife of jealousy went into Gloria's
heart and a hideous intuition that her
beloved Dick might have bewitched
Lois as he had bewitched herself
Those eyes Of his had been perhaps a
little too winning.
She rebuked herself for allowing
the suspicion even to fit through her
brain and began her note to Mulry.
Her eye fell on the letterhead. The
branch Offices of the brokerage firm
were listed in an upper corner: AL
bany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chi
cago, ST. Louis, Pittsburgh. A new
suspicion stabbed Gloria. The tele-
grams and letters in Dicks writing
had been sent from just those cities
in just that order Yet he had been
dead when they were sent.
The earliest explanation was the
true one, and Gloria guessed it imme-
diately. He could have sent them to
the branch offices in advance to be
sent to her in order or he could have
intrusted them to someone travelling
the round of Offices. Her intuition
hit on the truth, without knowing it,
The very ease of the trick disguised
her. She felt herself in the shadow
of some hateful conspiracy. She be-
gan to doubt her own memory as to
the letters and kilograms.
Crumpling the letter she had begun
and thrusting it into her handbag, she
left the office, telling the stenographer
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-04-03

f7cdFC.
that she would telephone to Mr.. Null
ry. The elevator seemed to drop out
beneath her as her whole trust in man
and love had fallen from under her.
She reached her motor and told the
driver to make haste for home.
The crowded traffic, with it's delays,
maddened her, and when she reached
her house at last she was in frenzy.
She ran up to her desk, took from
the strong box the letters and tele-
grams Of her lover, and compared
them with the letterhead, laying them
out date by date. There they were,
the same towns in the same. order,
like loathsome timetable of deceit.
Her love revolted at the very picture
Of Freneau. She lost all self-control
and cried at it:
= "Whr a,or killed you and whatever
his reason was, you lied to me, Dick.
You never loved me, and l don't love
you any more! I won't wear mourn
ing for you any more"
She rang her bell furiously and Or
dered her startled maid to bring Tier
She caught it from the maids hands
and drove the girl out, then finging
the riOtous colors about her black
gown like scarf, she broke into a
dance, flinging her 1.-THE body into pos
lures Of JOY and crying out that she
was happy and that her heart would
never be the fool of love again.
But she was not strong and her
hysteria wore out speedily. Her heart
swung back to it's love again and she
fell across the divan sobbing:
"Forgive me, Dick. I believe you in
spite of the world. I love you in spite
of everything and TIL find out the
truth-the truth-the TRUTH
+ i
And now it would have been hard to
say whether. Gloria's motive was one
of loyalty to Freneau or of suspicion
of him. She had to acquit him OF
worse than murder before the court
of her own heart as much as to avenge
him. If he was the victim OF some
conspiracy, she was the victim of his
The riddle maddened her with it's I'M
certainties.
That visit of Lois to Mulry's office
seemed to involve her in Freneau's du
plicity. Lois had confessed to thu
photograph of Freneau. She had sal<
thac she planned to have miniature
made for Gloria. But this seemed nov
to be only hasty excuse, desperate
lie to hide discovered theft. Sh'
decided to question Lois further. Blu
Lois was going to her country home
Gloria had decided not to go. Nov
she decided that she would. She wen
to Lois house to tell her so.

Method in Reading.

After having her blood curdled bad
ly by thrilling story, Mrs. Kurious
was angry to find that it ended in an
advertisement for somebody's tooth
powder.
With a pout, she threw the paper
containing the deception across the
ROOM.
sWhat's the matter, dearie?" asked
her husband.
Mrs. Kurious told him her trouble
and wound up with the remark:
"Now, Jeremiah, I know why the
