1t is with sad hearts that we
announce the death of our
Christian friend and brother,
DIR. {. d. DeFrantz, who de-
parted this life Thursday at
1890 a. m, after very SER
ious illness. The funeral will
be held Sunday afternoon at
2 o'clock from Zion Baptist
Church. The body will lie in
state at his late residence Sun
day morning from 9 to 1890.

Many of them presented a
most pitiful sight and their
tales of suffering are heart
rending. Only a few families
are intact. In most cases
some member was missing and
wailing plea is constantly
heard: "Will yov please try
to find my relative. They
have lost all they possessed
and many are without clothes
enough to cover their bodies.

East st. Louisans. AS soon
as the cond,tion was known,
the Executive Committee,
through their chairman, Chas

at Pythlan Hall IN which 4
couple OF hundred citizens

1t seemed for while Tues
day that some international
complications would result
from the work of the East St.
Louis riot when DR., Barrett, of
East St. Louis, appealed to
the British Counsel. Mr.. Pear
son. at St. Louis. for protec-
ton as a British subject. Mr..
Pearson called Mayor Moll-
man and demanded pro-
lection for all British sub
jects otherwise the United
States Government would be
involved. 1t is stated that a
special guard has been placed
around DR. Barretts office
and his automobile was placed
in the c,tys garage tor safe
keeping.

That more whites were kill

was seen during Tuesday af-

be great and according to
statements made to the re

Some of the white ladies
who assisted to give full vent
to the racial spleen against
the Colored women and who
were most active in dragging
them from the street cars, be-
came so unnerved with the ex
citement that they fell down
in dead faints right in the
middle of the streets, think
of the demoralizing effect of
their british conduct will con

Many of those poor unhap-

STOCKS PRICES AND VALUES.

The consensus of financiers and men of af-
fairs is that various causes have contributed to
the decline of stocks. The tax tends to re-
duce dividends; price-fixing tends to lessen
profits, and there is reason to believe that many
men moved solely by patriotic desire to help
the country have sold securities they would
gladly have kept in order to invest in Liberty
bonds All these together with unfavorable
war news have depressed the market; but there
is general agreement among men whose views
upon the subject are of greatest weight that
many securities have sold of late far below their
intrinsic values, and that investors who buy
them at present prices holders who own or
can carry them will reap rich profits in the end
For nothing seems surer than that this country
will do larger business with the world in the
decade following the war than in the ten years
before it began. The principal nations will be
more friendly than formerly, and markets
closed to Germany for years to come will be
open to us. Present prices are no true measure
of the value Of our railway and industrial Sc
curities.

ALWAYS PLAYS A CROOKED GAME.

An American correspondent on the Itsuiah
fighting front declares that Italy S reverse was
largely due to German propaganda Money OF
undoubted German origin has been found IN
large amounts on agitators IN the army and be-
hind the lines who have been urging the soldiers
to refuse to fight and throw down their arms
and surrender as the quickest way TO peace.
Germany has made skiltful and effective use
of enormous corruption funds in allied coun-
tries We know what vast sums were dishursed
by German agents here and by Bolo Pasha and
other intriguers in France. She has poured
out gold in every land where traitors could be
bought; and we shall some day know how IN
Russia, Rumania and Italy her subterranean
intrigues paved the way for the successes her
armies achieved
Germany plays all her games-war, dlplo-
macy, commercial competition-hke cheating
gambler Her game is always crooked and her
cards are always marked. Neither in war nor
in peace does she ever play gentlemen IS
game Honorable dealing, treaties, conventions
and international laws are for other states, not
for her; but it is only now that it has come to
be generally understood. For years our gov
eminent has found it impossible to convince
Mexico of our disinterested friendship for her.
For years some secret Influence has prevented
the rapproachment with Latin America we sin
cerely sought; and our relations with Japan
have been clouded with suspicion and distrust.
But we now begin to see that it was largely
due to the insdious poison of German diplo-
macy At last we understand the German
game, and the world understands it; and it is
safe to say that in any future relations the
fair dealing nations will be on their guard
against her crooked ways

lowa's Contribution to the Liberty
Loan of Second Issue Went
Above Mark Set
For Ii.
MAXIMUM is TOO HIGH
This is Way Chairman for State Looks
at Maximum Allowance Made
by Treasury
officials.

Iowa's contribution to the nations
war fund through subscription to
the second installment OF the Liberty
loan was Ss2,92S, 400, or s10.652,175 in
excess of the minimum allotment,
based on county quota, of $72,726, go.
The maximum allotment was $124.-
ESQ, 1000, which, even in the most
hopeful moments of the strenuous
campaign, generally was considered
too lofty target to hit. The cam
paigners of the state, however. did
not let up in their efforts when they
were assured that the minimum had
been topped, but kept pegging away
vigorously at the task of narrowing
the distance to the maximum.
81 consider that the maximum quota
allotted to Iowa was entirely out of
proportion, said Watkin w. Kneath,
federal reserve chairman for the
state 81 personally feel that Iowa's
showing was remarkably fine one,

say that, comparatively speaking,

better when the whole situation was

quota

The Service FIau.

Chicago Evening Post: We never
thought that any flag could give US
a greater thrill than Old Glory; but
we got it when we looked at the
first service flag that met our gaze.
1t is the service flag that puts the
meaning into Old Glory. We count
the blue stars on the white field
with eyes that grow misty, and our
glance passes from them to the red
border. How many of the blue stars
must go down in the red before the
war ends? Here is our first casualty
list from France. In Pittsburgh. in
Evansville, Ind; in G1idden, Iowa,
there are service flags, on each of
which one blue star has sunk in the
crimson tide of sacrifice. But we
must not lose them from the flags.
Rather let them be changed from
blue to gold and shine with greater
and undimming luster.

No Pro-eerman Neqroes.

Christian Science Monitor: Some
one who has observed the progress
of events in the United States since
the declaration of a state of war be-
tween that country and Germany has
reached a definite conclusion that
not a single pro-German negro has
been found in the length and breadth
of the land. 1t is also stated that in
many of the parishes of Louisiana
every negro eligible under the terms
of the selective draft law were not
only willing but eager to go to the
front. In some sections when calls
were made for volunteers, five times
the number asked crowded the en-
listment places. These facts form a
chapter in the history of the Ameri-
can negro worthy of being preserved
for reference when his social and in
dustrial status is discussed as a ma
tional problem.

MOVE FOR BUDGET SYSTEM.

It is understood at Washington that one Of
the subjects considered at recent conferences
between the president and secretary of the
treasury and prominent fnanciers was the need
of national budget This need has been rec
ognized for years by men in and out Of congress.
1t was emphasized by Mr.. Taft when he was
president. but until now it has been given COM
paratively little attention by the present ad-
ministration
No other great country would think of
handling the business Of national appropria-
tons in the happy go-lucky fashion that has
prevailed at Washington. The need Of budget
was apparent before the war, and today that
need is vastly greater than it was then So
there is encouragement in the report that in
the recent white house conferences the opinion
was general that the time had come to revise
