without consultation with the sol
diers and workmen representatives.
Not alone did the meeting attack
the provisional leaders for failure to
more in the open on all government
matters. but 1t was charged that the
provisional officers were seeking to
cast discredit on the workmen and
soldiers by sending false news Of
their activities out OF Russia. They
demanded permission TO disseminate
their own news. reflecting their own
views. This permission was formal
~ granted To-Day.
Foremost in the category OF the
false news which the committee
charged was given circulation abroad
by the provisional leaders was the
impression" which. it was asserted,
had been spread that the Russian
constitutional conventions would not
be held until after the war. and the
inference that the workmen and SOL
diers had approved such a course On
the contrary. the committee made
formal demand that the constituent
assembly be held at the earliest pos
sible date.

REV. cox PRAISES. X NEGRO CHURCHMEN

In regard to the article concerning the Eighth Avenue (coloreO Baptist, printed in yesterday mornings issue of The Graphic, Dr. w. j.. D. Cox, pastor of the First Baptist church, has the following to say:
 "Editor Graphic:
 (negro) Baptist church I desire to correct one or two statements made in your issue of this date. I did not call the meeting over which I pre- sided Tuesday evening. I received an invitation from the church, signed by the moderator and clery, requesting me to preside. Both sides in the con- troversy had agreed, at the suggestion of Judge Elliott, that I preside at a special meeting and ascertain which side was in the majority.
 "Refore taking the vote which de- termined which side had a majority l suggested that a council be called to deal with any differences that might exist after the vote had been taken. Your report is ill error in stating that one side opposed the calling of 8 council. The council was unanimous ly agreed on. After the vote was taken it was then agreed that coun- cil would not be necessary and by q unanimous vote it was decided to re- consider the action in calling for a council, and it was then unanimously agreed not to call a council.
 "L wish also to Say that there was not one unpleasant circumstance con nected with the meeting over which presided. All persons present con ducted themselves in becoming man. ner After the vote was taken Pastor J. w. McCrary made a talk. in which he displayed conciliatory and Christi ian spirit. I feel that I ought to say this much in justice to the church.

GERMANS EAT DIRT.
Edible Earth Delicacy Produced by i
 War Food Shortage.

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Nov. 30. In their frantic search for new food substitutes, Germans have made the discovery that so-called edible earth exists in many parts of Germany, and learned professors have lost no time in making it known that the eating of earth is by no means confined to cer- tain savage tribes of New Guinea and South America. It was highly esteemed delicacy, they say, during the Thirty Years War and also in the "lean years between 1917 and 1733.
 Layers of edible earth, it is stated, have been located on the moors of Luneburg, near Koenigsburg, in the valley of the lower Vistula and in the grand duchy of Hesse, while the Aus trians, it is announced, have their own deposits of edible earth near Eger and Franzenbad in Bohemia.

CHRIS YAUCH NAMED
 ON STATE COMMITTEE
Pine Bluff Baker Member Body to Enforce Food Administration
 Rules.

Little Rock, Dec. 13.-Hamp Will Hams, federal food administrator for Arkansas, has announced the appoint mo mt of Chris Yauch of Pine Bluff as member of a committee of state ba- kers, whose duty it shall be to carry out the rules and regulations laid down by the food administration, Washington, relative to bakeries.
 The executive committee in conncc. tion with the food administration .was named by MT. Williams from local members of the Bakers Industrial as sociation of Arkansas, and consists of J. P. Hamilton, chairman: Errott Hamilton and Joe Jung. The bakers throughout the state will cooperate with the men in Little Rock and refer to them any and all complaints from bakers in their respective towns, as well as investigate any violations of the rules and regulations governing their interest. The state bakers will be known as "The Suggestive Coop erative Committee," MT. Williams said, and the appointments were made bakery business all over the state.
 The elimination of further addi- tions of sugar and fats to the dough during the baking, or to the rolls or bread when baked, is further insisted upon in a special rule received from Washington by MT. Williams. Thus far however, there has been no defin- ite ruling as to what products are to he included in "bread and rolls" This ruling will be made later by the com mercial baking and bread division of the food administration. Until that ruling is received, however, the. bakers will find no objection to the baking of products made from sweet yeast. dough, nor crullers, dougmuts, ice cream cones, sweiback toast, or pas- tries.

STOP PRISONERS FOOD.

Rotterdam, Netherlands. Nov. 3O.- According to released Englishmen who have arrived from the camp for British civilians at Ruhleben, Ger many, no food had been provided for them by the Germans in the last three months. They were entirely depend ent on the parcels sent out from Great Britain. Most of the prisoners at Ruhleben are suffering from stomach troubles owing to the fact that they have principally had to live on canned food. As result of the monotonous character of the life there, all inmates are mentally abnormal, say those who have been released.

MANY GOLD COINS ABRADED
Are Often Found by Banks to Be Be.
low Weight Fixed by the United
States Treasury Department.

Gold coin iI circulation loses
weight more rapidly than most people
realize, and it is said that a great
amount of the gold in circulation on
this coast is abraded below the limit
Of tolerance at which the United
States treasury will receive it, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. A good
deal of this lightweight money is ac-
cepted by the banks, as is discovered
whenever a national bank makes a
gold payment to the Federal Reserve
bank. Probably the banks have now
become educated, but when the first
payments were made to the reserve
banks it was found that considerable
gold which passed current among
banks would not be received by the
reserve banks at face value.
1t Is safe to assume that all gold
coin received by banks is sorted, the
perfect coins being held in the vaults
and the worn pieces paid out over the
counter SO that the ultimate loss which
is inevitable is borne by the last indi-
vidual holder.
Congress is now asked by the treas
ury department for authority to re-
ceive for limited period all gold coin
at its face value. That which is
abraded will then be recoined and the
integrity of the circulation restored.

EASY TO TELL REAL DIAMOND
There Are Many Ways in Which the
Finest limitations May Be Detect
ed, Even by the inexperienced.

The experienced eye does not find it
is genuine, for the facets Of real ones
are seldom so regular as those Of fine
limitations. With the latter the great
est care is taken in grinding to polish
and smooth the whole stone so that
there will be irregularity in the reflec-
ton or refractton of the light. A neces-
sary tool for testing is the file, which
cannot scratch a real diamond, al
though it quickly leaves it's mark on
an imitation. Better than the file is the
sapphire, for the sapphire Is the next
hardest stone to the diamond. Any
asSuredly not diamond.
If you put small drop of water on
the upper facet of brilliant and touch
it with the point of a pencil the drop
will keep it's rounded form, but the
stone will remain clean and dry. In
case of an imitation the drop immedi-
ately spreads out. Plunge diamond
into water and it will be plainly visible
and will glitter through the liquid, but
an imitation stone is almost invisible.
If you look through diamond, as
through a bit of glass, at black dot
on sheet of white paper you will see
one single point clearly. If you see sew
eral points or blur of black it is an
imitation. The white sapphire, the
white topaz and rock crystal are fire.

WHERE CORNBREAD PERSISTS
Used by Thousands of WeII-to-Do Peo.
pie in South in Cities and Towns
as Well as in Country.

In response to Champ Clark's ad-
vice that there should be greater
use Of corn as food, the epicure of
the New York Sun makes this sage
observation concerning cornbread:
ut was well thought of in this
country as human food, 5O 40, perhaps
30 years ago. But in an unfortunate
day even poor folks began to neglect
corn. Dressed up as hominy it still
had certain popularity; parents were
willing that their children should eat
it thus. Treated with baking powder,
salt, plenty of rich cream and butter,
1t was still made into hot bread some
were not ashamed to eat"
This serves chiefly in this part of
the country to show how little the
South and Southerners are computed
as a part of the country, and how lit
tie they know in New York and other
supposed enlightened centers of what
constitutes good eating, says the Nash
vile (Tenn.) Banner.
1t is assuredly not necessary to use
the past tense when corn as human
food is spoken of in the South. Corn
bread is used preferably by thousands
of well-to-do people of the South. in
the cities and towns, as well as in the
rural districts.
Bob Taylor used to say one essen
tial difference between the South and
North is "hot biscuit and cold light
bread" The negro cooks in the South
made hot bread for each meal prac-
ticable, while the thrifty housewives
of the North had baking days." when
enough bread was baked for week.
That was where the difference mainly
lay.
