faction to President Wilson to know
that the people respond readily to the
tasks asked of them, thus proving their
loyalty and devotion to the country.
This was to be expected. Although
the country has been at peace for many
years and some do not fully realize
what suffering and sacrifice war de-
mands, yet they are in most instances
willing to do their part when they are
called upon.
Science in medical treatment and
sanitation doubtless viii be manifested
in this great war. That our people ap-
preciate the great work of the Red
Cross and are anxious to support it is
. tribute to those whose sacrifices have
fostered and maintained this organiza-
ton.
North. South, East and West are no
longer bounded by sectional lines. The
patriotism Of the people knows no
boundaries. Every occupation and in
dividual must respond in manner that
will enable the government to win the
war. Food must be conserved and
wealth wisely used to strengthen the
nation in its greet task.

Here are a few cold facts. Over
two-thirds of the people of Mexico,
Central America and South America
have cOlored blood in their veins.
Over u per cent or 100000 people
in the U. S. have cOloTed blood.
Practically all of our possessions are
COlOTed. Alaska is Indian, and the
white south and western arid United
States are One-fOUrth cOnsUmptive

The pure whites in all U. S. A. are
about 8O,OOO,OOO. Canada has about
100000 or less pure white; so has
Australia Ali Africa has less than
100000 whites. The whole white
population of the globe is about 400
100000. Of this white bunch of fools,
100000 males, the best blood, has
been killed in the last three years;
100000 more males are so disabled
they cannot marry, breed or care for
the young and have themselves be-
come more of a burden to the liv-
ing than if they were dead.
Besides this, 100000 more whites
are held in prison camps, so that they
cannot breed. PUritanism is fast be-
traying England and America to their
respective doom, because they junk
half of their best and sOundest wOm-

After this war in Europe all that is
necessary to complete the destruc-
ton Of the proud mOralistic white
race is a CORY war between Japan
and America.
The darker races do not hesitate
to breed all their women, although
they now oUtnUmber the pure white
race almost three to one. Thus is

WILSON'S APPEAL.-In these
days of broken relations, exploding
mines, unexpected bombs and sensa-
tons from the bottom of the sea to
the clouds, and while there are more
or less successful revolutions here
on this thOrny earth, it is good policy
to have on hand some sound and
timely reading to calm the conster-
nation or, better still, sensations.
For such reading l will recommend
the presidents appeal of Aug. is,
1914, to the American people. The
words will be found on page 446 and
447 Of the 1915 edition of the Daily
News Almanac. For those who have
no file of that worthy reference book,
l will quote one little paragraph:
q venture, therefore, my fellow
cOuntrymen, to speak as a solemn
word Of warning to you against that
deepest, most subtle, most essential
breach of neutrality which may
spring out of paTtisanship, out Of
passiOnately taking sides. The United
States must be neutral in fact as well
as in name during these days that
are to try mems souls. We must be
impartial in thoughts as well as in
action, must put a curb upon our
sentiment as well as upon every
transaction that might be construed
as a preference of one party to the
struggle before another"

100000 inhabitants of the U. S. and

In the old days boxing bouts IN

often after long journeys to dodge the
COPS. Such contest was the cham
pionship battle between Tom Sayers
and Bill Benjamin on the Sd OF jan
uary in 1855 1t was one of the coolest
days England had experienced IN many
years and. in order to find a spot
safe from interruption, the boxers and
their followers had 20 make long
and tedious journey to the Isle OF
Grain. All were about frozen when
the ring was finally pitched and the
men went at it. It was a highly IN
SATISFACTORY fight. for Benjamin, al
though a big. finely built young fel-
low, was not in the same class with
the Little Wonder" and was knocked
out in six and a half minutes It was
