The movement of Negro laborers
from the South in large numbers dur
Ing the past few months has created
considerable discussion in the public
press, North and South, and not little
concern In parts of the South. writes
correspondent of the New York
Times. A striking feature of most of
this discussion is the absence of state
ments about the migration of Negroes
before the present movement. The mi
grafton of Negroes northward in con-
siderable numbers year by year for
the last two or three deeadeszhas been
quietly going on. although it may not
have attracted much attention.
The indication of this movement
since 1880 is shown by the percentage
of increase of the Negro population of
the following nine Northern and Dor-
der cities: Boston, Greater New York.
Philadelphia, Chicago. Cincinnati, Es-
ansville and indianapolis. Ind. Pitts
burgh and ST. Louis. The census fig
ures for these nine cities showed that
between 1880 and 1890 IL increased
about 36.2 per cent; from 1890 to 1900
1t increased about IA per cent, and
from 1900 TO 1910 about 37.4 per cent.
In the first decade the increase was
more than three times the increase of
the total Negro population; In the Sec
ond period II was more than four times
as large and shows the influence OF the
economic disturbances OF the period
In the last period the increase was
nearly three times larger Than the In
crease of the total Negro population.
The rate OF increase In the southern
cities has been large. although less
than that of the northern cities during
the same period, indicating that SINH
lar causes We're operating 10 draw Ne
groes TO southern cities. although these
causes were weaker than those oper-
ating in northern cities. The percent
age increase of Negroes In Is south
erp cities was. from 1880 10 1890. about
38.7; from 1890 TO 1900 about zoe:

may be added In passing that from
1880 to 1910 the increase Of white pop
ulation In these southern cities has
been very similar TO that Of the Ne.
groes.
The causes Of this movement during
this longer period have been the same
AS those affecting the Negro popula-
ton In the last few months The only
difference has been the increase In the
volume Of the movement because OF
the increase In its influencing causes.

latter serve a valuable purpose when

VETERAN RECALLS
LOSS OF HIS LEG

Among the Hood River pioneers who
participated!in in the annual reunion of
those who arrived in the valley more
than 25 years ago, was E. D. Calkins,
veteran of the Civil War, whose left
leg remains but a stump and upon
whose breast is a medal, given for
heroic service, and Monday "Uncle
Ed" as the aged sman is familiarly
known to his many Hood River friends,
was reminded that it was the 56th an
niversary of the loss of his leg
Throughout the day Mr.. Calkins, who
is native of Pennsylvania, enter
tained little knot of his fellow pioneers
with interesting "reminiscences of war
days. For several hours after the leg
had been shattered by minnie ball,
Mr.. Calkins had remained at his post
of duty as a guard. When relieved he
tainted from the shock, loss of blood
and exhaustion.
Mr.. Calkins is a keen student of the
moves of the great war in which ssthe
United States is now engaged. 1T
makes my blood tingle," he says,
when | hear of the loyalty of our
young men, who are now training by
the hundreds of thousands to lick the
kaiser, and it makes me wish | was
younger. | am proud of this great old
United States of ours, and proud that
lost leg in preserving the nation in
its unity.
81 never had any hatred of the SOL
diers of the Confederacy. We licked
them and they at once became our
comrades. 1t is pleasing to see the
men of the South, those old soldiers in
Gray, just as we boys in Blue today
are ardently loyal to the Stars and
Stripes"

army camp and cantonment. A To-
cal committee has been appointed
consisting of Miss Etheljane Melon
aid, chairman, Mrs. c. X. Marshal,
Miss Ethel Goudy, F. Z. Knowles, r.
E. Scott, Truman Butler, Joe ID. Tho
mison and R. B. Bennett.
A canvass of the city and, so far
as possible, of the rural districts, will
be made during the coming week in
order to raise Hood Rivers compare
lively small apportionment towards
this worthy cause. AS a thorough
canvass of the rural districts cannot
be made, those wishing to contribute
may send the money to school by
their children and the funds will be
taken in charge of by the principal

Organizations are now being per-
fected in every city in the state lead
ing to the War Library campaign be-
ginning Monday, when it is hoped
that Oregon will more than subscribe
her q uota.
The war libraries will be issued to
the army Y. NJ. c. AS. the huts of
the Young Mems Hebrew Associa-
ton and those of the knights of CO.
lumbus, while in addition at the lars

be maintained, probably in buildings
to be provided by the Carnegie Ii.
brary Foundation.
Every town in Oregon has lost
some of its manhood to the army ana
navy" said Director w. L. Brewster,
"and it is our duty to keep these men
in the finest mental as we'll as fight
ing trim. That means libraries and
books. We must provide recreation
of this kind and it is the duty OF
every citizen in Oregon to help this
work along. To raise our s25,00O
quota will mean very small allot-
ment to every Oregon town, but we
shall hope to see that allotment over
subscribed"
Mrs. Chas. H. Castner, president
of the Oregon State Federation of
Women's Clubs and chairman of the
Woman's Committee of the Oregon
division of the National Council of
Defense, has just been notified of APP
pointment to the State War Library
Board.
II want to endorse the movement, "
said Mrs. Castner yesterday, mot only
as an individual but as executive head
of the club women of Oregon and as
chairman of the women of Oregon who
have organized to work along patriotic
lines in the service of our nation. ]
hope the women of Oregon realize the
sincerity of the War Library move
ment and assist in every possibl man.
ner. Oregon club women can aid
greatly in the work land | would sug-
gest that all of the machinery of the
women's department of the Defense
Council be placed at the service of the
War Library Board.
81 would suggest that the women of
the different counties of the state as.
centain who is local chairman of the
War Library Board and at once offer
him their aid in the proposed drive for
funds"
Mrs. Castner has offered the central
committee in charge of the raising of
Oregon's portion of the library fund
all data that has been collected recent

AMSTERDAM. November 22-"Amer-
ica.s entry into the war is disadvantageous
to US in moral and many other ways
said Admiral Won Tirpitz. former German
minister of marine, in addressing a meet
ing of the fatherland party at Dresden.
1--WE ought to have reckoned with the fact
that the American trust magnates were
bound to desire our defeat.
II regret that we did not remain firm
in the face Of President Wilson's threats.
II we had done so things probably would
have been very different. but now we must
take them as they are.
IT would point out, however. that
from a military viewpoint Americas s
entry into the war is Of little signif-
cance to us, because it Is the tonnage
question that is decisive"
The admiral expressed regrets that
Germany had been late in using that
powerful economic weapon" the u
boat, but said that Notwithstanding all
the counter measures which the delay
gave Brits in time to develop the Ger
mans would be successful II they stuck
to their guns.
