covers the shoulders, but ends well
above the waist. The small turnover

BY o HARRINGTON
OF The VIgiLonses

when the German-Americans, as
we call them, found that our country
was in the war, they erased the n.y.
phen. The hyphen is gone. forever.
In our country there are only
American citizens" I quote the above
from a recent article issued by the
"V~igilantes," and I believe the facts
to be virtually as stated. But If they
were not, and If the hyphen did &C.
tually here and there remain alive,
would not the most sensible policy
treat 1t as dead, and at least assume
It to be dead, wherever 1t showed no
Hrulent signs Of life? In other words,
men cannot be goaded into loyalty;
they only accumulate a of in
jury under the gOad. And 1t was
never more important than at this
present time that we should avoid in
Justice to any citizen. Suspicion, ru-
nor and coincidence of circumstance
should influence neither our judgments
nor our actions; much less should we
vent our passion against Germany
upOh IHC pCIoOh VI III Wholh We
called the German-American.
1 speak from the standpoint of n
who bitterly opposed the German
American position on the war prior
to the American entrance, April. 1917.
But the sympathy Of the German
American with the German cause,
prior to that date, If rightly cOmpre-
hended. does not imply a sympathy
continuing beyond that date, though
to many minds this is either an i'm
possible paradox or a symptom Of
credulity imposed upon by almost
barefaced Hypocrisy. 1t is neither.
The German-American. beholding a
wal between Germany and the allies,
sided with Germany. He had not
been alienated from Germany, as the
rest of us had been alienated (by the
Revolutionary War; from England.
He saw merely a contest between for
eign powers and sided with that from
which he sprang. But when his own
country came to actual war with Ger
many the German-American found
himself to be an American. Neverthe-
less, 1t is hard for him to show his
patriotism when we say to him "NOw,
you dirty German-American, drop
your tricks and speak up! Repeat
these words In a loud shout, I am an
American and I love the flag,' and II
you don't shout loud enough we'll
kick you. and maybe we'll kick you
anyhow" Such instruction does not
seem quite statesmanlike, OF over
Christianlike, either.
Germans to Germans.
Margaret Deland. lately returned
from France, says that vel there, not
long ago., a company Of German pris-
oners, just captured, were being sent
back from the front, when they en-
countered an American regiment.

The Greatest Mistake,

1t has been said that the only ont
who eve makes a mistake is the one
who never does anything. But to do
nothing is the greatest mistake pos
sible. A life without endeavor. action
and purpose, is a failure. Mistakes
are not as serious as inaction, remem-
Der. Do something, and do your best.
Never be disheartened by the con-
sciOusness that you have blundered.-

AN EDUCATIONAL APPEAL TIC
COLoRED YOUTH.

To Ambitious Colored Youth:
This is the season when ambitious
young men and women are looking
around in quest of a higher school or
, college in which to continue their ed
ucation. The operation of our educa-
tional fabric is apt to be seriously in
terrupted on account of worldwide
war conditions, which appeal to the
patriotic emotions of every right-mind-
ed American youth.
President Woodrow Wilson power
fully appeals to American youth to
continue their educational prepare
ton on the most extensive scale as a
means of more efficiently helping TO
win the war. The Hon. p. B. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, urgently seconds the Presi-
dents appeal.
AT this time it is particularly impor-
tant that colored youth should utilize
every available educational opportu-
nifty. The requirements of the war
are opening up a wide area of skilled
pusuits, from which they have been
hitherto excluded. There is but one
standard of efficiency by which all ap-
plicants must be measured who seek
to render efficient service on a high
level.
While our chief energies are now
focused upon the winning of the world
war for freedom and equality. Yet
it is easy to project u vision to the
consideration of conditions after the
end of this titanic struggle. Millions
of men of the best Drawn and brain
that the human race produces will
have been destroyed by the awful raw
ages of a In order to repair this
~incalculable loss to civilization the
world will require the fullest develop
ment and exertion on the part of every
individual wodking on the highest
level of his powers. there will be lit
tie time or disposition to stop to in
quire of the winning participant in
the worlds work, "Of what complexion
is he?" Great will be the condemna
ton of any individual who fails to pre-
pare himself for such tremendous re-
sponsibilities both during and after
the war.
The need for education and efficient
leadership of the colored race was
never so imperative as now. Loud is
the call for qualified men in the higher
arts and crafts, in specialized scien-
tific pursuits, In intellectual stimula-

raised by them; while every room
save one in the hospital has been Sc
lected by the different Women's Clubs
of the City to be completely furnish
ed by them. Isn't this a glorious
spirit? 1t amply demonstrates that
in all those movements for Racial de-
velopment and advancement the Neg
roes of greater Kansas City lead all
the rest . Do your duty. Pay your
pledge. The following is a complete
list of all those who have paid their
subscriptions in full to date and as
rapidly as those hundreds of others
who have made partial payments COM
