WIDESPREAD INTEREST IN Ma
,LTlONAL RACE CONGRESS.

CoIored Americans "Brought to Their
Feet" by Memphis, e. st. Louis,
and Chester Outrages-Local Equal
Rights Committees Being Formed.
Boston, Mass, August 20, 1917
That the colored people of the coun-
try have been drought to their feet
by the Memphis lynching, East St.
Louis massacre and Chester riots, is
shown by the instant interest taken
in the call issued for speedy get
ting together" at New York by Rev.
Byron Gunner, president of the Ma
tional Equal Rights League. Already
President Gunner has received word
from representatives in a dozen diff
ferent states who will attend. the 10th
annual meeting of the league and End
Annual Race Congress under the
Leagues auspices, which will be held
three days, September 1S, 10 and 20,
in Mother Zion church, w. 136th
street, New York City.
Colored newspapers all over the
country are announcing this National
Colored Equal Rights Convention in
their columns, and the editors are
working with success for the forma-
ton of local equal Rights Commit
tees" that are to send delegates.
The "Call" has been given such
wide publicity, the invitation being
open to every organization as we'll as
the Equal Rights League, the on
pressed in every country in the civil

put forth their case and their de-
mand. except we colored Americans,
thoughtful citizens everywhere see
that the race will be judged by the
attendance at this National Race Con.

Every community that has not al
ready formed a Citizens Equal Rights
Committee to send delegates is urged
to do so. Three full weeks remain in
which to do so. The last Race Con-
gress brought men and women of all
factions and all organizations together
and increased cooperation. 1t is ten
times as critical now for the race as
then. .'.-..- -. 49,.

THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently at the Church Of England
Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney
Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica
from 1907 to the end of 1912, put for.
ward the claim that no solution of the
American color question was possible
except by a resolute disclaimer of the
color line and the race differention
theory. .-. T.
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he is talking about. In the
Island Of Jamaica, where he was gov
ernor for five years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. jamaica
is British colony and the govern.
ment is just. Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line. .-'~-
Among other things Sir Sidney said:

CRIME AGAINST CIVILIZATION.

IN the opinion of THE APPEAL,
the strongest article denouncing the
East Saint Louis massacre was an
editorial published in the Christian
Register of Boston, Mass. The Regis
ter is the leading Unitarian paper pub
lished in the United States and per-
haps that accounts for the article.
The Unitarian church is one of the
few Christian denominations in Amer
lea in which there is no color line.
The orthodox Christian sects in Amer
lea are so filled with prejudice that
the ruthless massacre of helpless men,
women and children fails to bring out
a protest.

women To HAVE
IMPORTANT PART
Will Give Demonstrations In CANNING
Foods-StyIe Show to Be Bio
Feature at State Fair.

Women of Minnesota will cut big.
ger figure at the Minnesota State Fair,
Sept. 8 to s, than they have for many
years. In fact large share Of the
work in connection with the impor.
tant food conservation movement will
be carried on by the women, both
through demonstrations and lectures.
Mrs. Bertha Dahl Laws is at the
head of the Department of Woman's
Work and she and her assistants have
been busy throughout the summer
making plans for the work to be I'M
dertaken at the fair. Under the de-
partment this year is included also the
public welfare work, such as child well
fare exhibits, home nursing and first
aid demonstrations; the exhibits and
demonstrations in food conservation
and home economics; the patriotic
and public safety work, as demon
strated by the Red Cross and the
Loyal Legion; and also the home sew
ing demonstration and the style show.
One OF the most important features
of the entire department and one to
which considerable attention has been
devoted, is the home sewing demon
stration, which is intended as a help
to women who must make their Own
and their children's clothing. The
demonstration will include planning,
cutting and making of garments and
emphasis will be laid on the most eco.
nomical methods of construction and
the beauty of simplicity in design.
To Give Demonstrations.
Because of the appeal made by
President Wilson for the conservation
of food as a means of winning the
world war, much stress will be laid
on this all-important work and there
will be demonstrations of canning,
drying and. sailing of vegetables,
fruits and meats, which should prove
of interest to men as we'll as women.
Not only will food values be shown.
but the desirable substitutes for such
foods as are especially costly and
scarce will also be explained. Prac-
tical and appetizing meals will be
planned, emphasizing the balanced ra-
ton and economical use of foods.
Because of the activity of women
throughout the land in Red Cross
work an unusually interesting exhibit
Is being planned. According to the
original plan, this work was deemed
SO important that it was decided to
give up the entire center of the wo-
mans building to the Red Cross that
the demonstrations and exhibits might
be given the prominence they deserve.

Separation in Training Camps and in
Regiments Decreed by Washington.


Regiments Decreed by Washington.
Colored men and white men will not
serve IN the same companies or regi-
ments in the new national army, &C
cording to advices from Provost Mar
shall General Crowder. Washington
has wired that colored men will be
separated from white men in the train
ing camps. The boards are asked to
specify the race when they certify a
man for service.
There have been many inquiries re-
Gently relative to the departments in
tentiOn in this matter To clarity
the matter, Washington sent instruc.
lions to all governors, a part of which
follows:
In order to provide for the segre-
cation of races into regiments and
other organizations and to arrange
for compliance with state laws re-
curing the races to travel in separate
coaches, it has been found that it will
be necessary for the adjutant general
OF each state to know the number of
colored and white men certified from
district boards and adjutants general.
Hereafter the notation white or
'colored' will be made opposite the
name Of any person certified from
local to district boards or from dis
trlct boards to local boards and adj
jutants general.
Adjutants general should call on
local boards for a statement of the
number of white and colored men con-
tanned on the lists already certified.
This information should be gathered
promptly and be kept up to date, to
the end that the adjutant general will
always know the number of colored
and the number of white men who are
on the available lists of selected men
in each local board in the state who
nave not yet been sent to mobiliza-
ton camps. .

MORE ROOM FOR AUTOS
Additional Space Is Provided for Auto.
mobile Show at Fair-Great
Races Planned.

Extensive alterations have been
made during the summer in the big
show room for automobiles at the
Minnesota State Fair and there is
every indication that the 1917 automo-
bile show, to be held during fair week,
Sept. to 8, will not only be one Of
the biggest and most attractive fea-
lures of the fair, but that it will be
the best auto display ever put on there.
For several years the automobile
exhibitors have been somewhat
crowded for room. The display each
succeeding year has been more COM
prehensive and it has finally become
necessary for the board Of managers
OF the fair to provide additional space.
The ground floor of the big grand
stand building, in which the show has
been held since that structure was
erected, has also been used as head.
quarters for the Public Safety Depart
ment. 1t was found that by providing
another location for the police station
the desired space could be given to
the automobile exhibitors. This has
been done and the partition which
separated the two departments has
been torn down, the front of the big
building has been remodeled and this
has resulted in vast improvement.
According to Rud Stensvad, assist.
ant superintendent of the automobile
show, the demand for space this year
has exceeded the fondest expectations
of those In charge. All of last years
exhibitors are expected to again show
and in addition there will be q num-
Der of new ones.
Extensive plans have been made for
decorations for the automobile show
room, red, white and blue being the
colors adopted. With the big room
appropriately dressed up for the occa-
sion and the large number of attrac.
tive cars on exhibition the scene will
be a brilliant one.
Not only will auto enthusiasts be
interested in the display of cars at the
lair, however, for, as has been the
case In recent years, many of them
will go to the fair to kill two birds
with one stone, so to speak. The au.
tomobile speed program promises ia
be more attractive than ever this year
So successful have the state fair
auto races proved during the past few
years that the management has this
year provided two days of racing in.
stead of one.~ Both Wednesday and
Saturday will be devoted to the speed
demons who will strive to slash exist.
