ever touched them without permits
sion. In New York after dark they
wouldn't remain four minutes before
being stolen.
"Piblockto" is the word that ex-
presses what the Eskimos think of the
world at war, Mr.. Macmillan said. It
means run amuck; gone clean crazy"
The Eskimos believe that all the white
man nations have gone "piblockto."
Il tried to explain" Mr.. Macmillan
said, that the war started because
Germany wanted to acquire more land,
but they wouldn't believe it; they
only shook their heads and said:
No; that's impossible. There is plenty
of land for everybody When we were
getting ready to leave Eta they begged
US to remain with them. why go
back there?-meaning civilization
they asked us, where everyone is pib-
lockto? Stay here with US and be
happy"
THE APPEAL believes that the mis-.
sionaries who are trying to convert
the Eskimos are "piblockto," espe.
cially those from the United States,
who are trying to impose the Amer
lean brand of jimcrow Christianity on
them. If they have all of the neces.
sary virtues right now, why waste time
and money teaching them the murder.

LIBERTY LOAN LOYALTY.

The greatest drive ever inaugurated
in this or any other country to raise
funds for the government ends today,
and the results are absolutely astound.
ing. This is big country geograph-
ically and in every other way; and the
way the people of every nationality
that go to make up it's cosmopolitan
population responded to it's call for
the second great Liberty Loan shows
the loyalty that fills the breasts of all
it's citizens regardless of nationality,
color or creed.
These are big times and the big
people of America are showing that
they are as big as the times. A few
years ago many of the people were
appalled, at the size of the appropria-
lions made by congress for the main
tenance of the government, and it was
rather derisively labeled the "Billion
Dollar Congress-" But today we are
dealing with problems that require bill
lions where they once did millions.
Loyalty has been the all impelling
thought that has produced these great
financial achievements and it is ex-
tremely gratifying that the race va
riety of our citizens in a measure
represented by THE APPEAL, have
measured up to the standard of 10y
atty in this financial battle as they
have in every battle for this country

THE POWER Of UNITY.

United we stand; divided we fall"
nation no less than an individual can
afford to overlook.
We are at war with Germany, one
OF the greatest military powers on
earth. It is needless for me to stop
here and recount the many destructive
instruments that she employs to take
human life or the wanton toll of death
she has been exacting. The question
OF the hour is "How do we stand as a
nation? are we moving forward as one
man with a solid front against the
enemy, or are we divided and weak,
ouibbling over trivial and insignifi-
cant matters among ourselves 49,
In looking the matter over with cir
cumspection and great care I am COM
PEELED to say that the picture does not
present roseate hue. So shocking
was the crime, outrageous the depre-
dation recently perpetrated upon poor
defenseless colored people of East st.
Louis that 1 sometimes wish I could
blot it from my memory, but, alas,
cannot. And, again we are called upon
to witness another crime which was
perpetrated at Houston, Texas, appa-
rently in a sense of retaliation. It's
results are no less grevious.
Think of it! Twelve million people
living in this country, clothed with all
the guarantees of the constitution with
which other citizens are clothed, vet
through the systematic practice of
"jim-crowfsm," segregation and preju-
dice the races are at dagger points:
the fires of resentment are constantly
smoldering just below the surface and
require but breeze of ill-wind to
burst into flame. In any part of this
country instead of peace and good
will the opposite is the condition.
So, now, instead of the nation being
able at this time to defend herself
with unity and courage she is busying
herself with that dead issue-"The Ne
gro Problem" Before this great
world war is ended, every vestige of
"jim.crowism" shall have been swept
from the statute books of this coun-
try. When this is done the ever-loyal
colored people will re-enter the deadly
trench, stand upon the parapet and in
the jaws of Hell-he will truthfully
sing,
H. my Country it's of thee,
Sweet land of Loberty."

INCREASED PENSIONS PROPOSED.

substantial increases In existing
rates of pension for disablement of the
limbs from injuries received in line
of duty, are contained in bill intro
duced by Representative George P.
barrow of Pennsylvania, which will
come up for action by the House at
the next session of congress-. Mr.. OAR
rows proposed rates run from SOS for
the loss of total disability of one hand
or one foot, to $3.50 for the loss or to.
tai disability of both arms and both
legs. They amount roughly to an in
crease of about so per cent in the
existing rates for similar cases. The
bill is made to apply to persons al
ready on the pension rolls, and to all
who may be granted a pension here
after, but Mr.. barrow specifically pro-
vides that the measure shall not op-
crate to reduce any pension hereto
fore granted. The passage of this
measure will be heartily approved OF
by the people. .s

HUMAN NATURES FOULEsT BLOT"

My ear is panied
NY soul is sick with every days report
Of wrong and outrage, with which earth is filed
There is no flesh in mans obdurate heart.
It does not feel for man: the natural bond
Of brotherhood is severed as the flax
That falls asunder at the touch Of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty Of skin
Not colored like his own: and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.

Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys:

BLEVINS VS. PRESCOTT

A ball game will be played tomor- row afternoon at the high school campus between Blevins and the Pres colt All-Stars. Litton who will twirl the pill for Prescott, won his last game without giving his opponents a hit or a run. This young man is a pitcher who goes into game to win 1t, and his wonderful personality no doubt plays big part in humping" the batters. He can be seen at any time at Guthrie's Drug Store and would be glad to give anyone a little inside dope so that you can support the home team in a substantial man. ner.
 Following is the Prescott lineup: Minor Gordon, catcher; Fred Litton, pitcher; Chas. Tompkins, 1st; Ben Waller, 2nd; Lonnie McMillian, short; {; H. T. Mckenzie, 3rd; Cecil Gee, cen ter; Rolf Wylie, r. f.; Dex Bush, l. f..
 The entire team is one that can be depended upon in emergencies, some of them stars on their college teams. You just simply can't afford to miss this baseball treat tomorrow after noon.

WARRIOR, ALA., SEES YOUNG BOYS
 MARROW ESCAPE
Mrs. Thice Morgan Tells the
 Story of Her Sons Close Call.

'He did indeed have close call, i" said Mrs. Morgan to a Birmingham representative.
 "The doctor said he had but a week to live and we had seen him failing for three years. It was an awful blood disease and he suffered pitifully. l think they called it Pellagra. It was awful to see him all broken out and so thin and weak. You could hardly believe to see him now that it is the same boy.
 Little Otis is living tribute to the wonderful healing powers of Sul- ferro-Sol. After he had been given up by the doctor I decided to try Sul- ferro-Sol as last chance. It proved to be the one almost Divine help he needed
 Right under our eyes he gained from the first few doses and we could tell that this blessed Nature remedy was going to save him. See him now, we'll and strong, can 1 say more for Sulferro-Sol
 We don't feel that we can say enough for this medicine for we thing it is more than medicine, it's Natures way and it has made us all very happy"
 Note-Mr. Morgan the father, is miner for the Central Coal Company at Warrior, Ala, and will gladly verify this.
 Sulferro-Sol is sold and recom- mended by the Hesterly Drug Store. They will gladly tell you of it's great healing and building powers.

ARKANSANS RETURN
 FROM WASHINGTON
Hotels of National Capital Were Unable to Accommodate the Neterans-Tulsa Gets 1918 Reunion.
By A. W. Parke.

Confederate veterans live wholly in the past. So far as reunions are con- cerned, the past for them extends to 1911 and the reunion held in Little Rock that year. "When we were in Little Rock," is the way the veterans gathered at the reunions begin their criticism of the one in progress, and Washington probably suffered most in comparison than any other. Wash lngton Is provincial city. In spite of the fact that it is the seat of the mightiest of all governments, and people are gathered there from every nation beneath the sun, it is any thing but cosmopolitan. In war time it is far more like a village of the mountains than a nations capital.
 Washington is not a Southern city, even though it lies directly across the Potomac from the home of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, and within few miles there have resided some of America's most noted patriots. The only thing which indicates that a Southerner has re- sided in Washington is the fact that most statues in this city of magnifi- cent statues, face toward Dixieland.
 The good accomplished by the re- union being held in Washington at this time was the changed opinion many people have of the men who fought under the Stars and Bars after having them in their midst for week. The great harm coming from it was the changed opinion by the thousands of visitors, of the hospitality of the national capital. The committees were wholly unable to care for the crowd that swamped the capital, and Confederate veterans were forced to sleep in the depots, on sidewalks and in parks until an appeal was made to the citizens and the homes of many were opened. Many veterans were housed in ramble shackled buildings, and when it rained-and it did every day, some were due for generous wetting.
 Washington is more concerned with the war of today than the war of 1861-1865, and for this reason the reunion war largely a mistake. Pre- parations are being made on every hand to equip the army which by this time is no doubt on it's way to France. Otherwise the veterans would have probably received the undivided at tention of the Washingtonians, and the reunion would have been a much grander success. The crowd was there, and the veterans were there. There was plenty of music and the parade was we'll handled For this much, at least, let us give the few untiring Southerners who worked so hard to make the veterans comfort able, ample credit.

and reserves are making ready for France, expecting soon to follow Gen. Pershing. War to these men is a serious business. They have made their wills, and attended to all the little details that will be necessary for the care of their families should they not return.
 Returning from Washington I met at one station three special trains of Infantry, bound for the coast, and every man expecting to embark for Flanders. These men came from the border, where many of them have seen service under Gen. Pershing. They had chalked large signs on the sides of their sleeping cars, with such inscriptions as, Berlin or Bust" "Well Bride Bill" "We1l Soak the Yacht on the Rhine," and one wit scribbled out, "We1l Rout the Kraut
 in the Kaiser's Shout" And there was humor in the situation otherwise, for the men were placently riding in cars which bore the names of Goethe, Kronprinz, and other perfectly as German in their origin.
 All Arkansans who visited Wash ington during the reunion have a L. c- L |. represent them in Congress. I do not mean by this that they thought little of them before, but no matter how much they thought before, their re- gard has now increased. They found out just how high the Arkansas Sen ators and Congressmen stand. Their representatives left nothing undone to see that Arkansans were we'll cared

Tulsa won easily and now promises to erect two S2,000, 900 hotels before the time for the reunion arrives so there will be no room for complaint as to lack of hotel facili- ties. Tulsa promises great entertain- ment, and many who assisted in the management of the Little Rock re- union will go out to assist Tulsa dodge the rough places, and to profit by Lit tie Rocks bitter experiences.

They visited the camps to carry comforts to the veterans, and they entertained all who attended the reunion. A re- ception and luncheon was given by the Arkansas Society at the House office building, with a reception and dance later at the Home Club.
