Philadelphia, May 1.-THE back
ward peoples OF the world are lin
ing up solidly against Germany
said Judge Charles Burke Elliott OF
Minneapolis, in an address here be-
fcre the "Win the War for Perma-
ncnt Peace" convention, under the
auspices of the League to Enforce
Peace. The speaker, who is for
mer member of the supreme bench
OF the Philippine Islands and OF the
Philippine commission, discussed
Germany's colonial methods from
his long experience in the Far East.
Many thousands of the dark
hued people from the borders and
hnterland of civilization" he said,
"are fighting and dying under the
allied flags.
I'm the light of Germany's de
clared designs for the conquest OF
the world, and the history OF two
decades OF German colonization, IS
it not clear why thousands of blacks
from the edges of the Sahara joined
the British in annihilating German
power in Togo and the Kameroons,
why India has stood Loyalty by the
British Raj, and why the Filipinos

Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fal

Weak, thin people--men and women
are nearly always nervous wrecks
thus conclusivey proving that thin
ness, weakness, debility and neuras-
thenia are almost invariably due to
nerve starvation. Feed your nerves
and all these symptoms due to nerve
starvation will disappear.
Eminent specialists state that the
best nerve food is an organic phos-
phate known among druggists as Bitrot
Phosphate, a five-grain tablet of which
should be taken with each meal. Being
a genuine nerve builder and not a slim
ulant or habit forming drug, Bitro
Phosphate can be safely taken by the
weakest and most delicate sufferer, and
the results following its use are often
simply astonishing.
Weak. tired people regain strength
and vigor thinness and angularity
give way to plumpness and curves,
sleep returns to the sleepless. conf
dence and cheerfulness replace debility
and bloom, duh eyes become bright.
and pale. sunken cheeks regain the
pink glow of health. Phosphate
the use of which is inexpensive, also
wonderfully promotes the assimilation
Of food, so much so that many people
report marked gains of weight in
few weeks.
CAUTION: Although Bitro-Phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness. sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing TO its
remarkable flesh-growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put on flesh. 1t is sold in this city by
Frame and most good druggists. LAdv)

ces OF the nation and is Il very real
danger to democracy George A.
Hastings, executive secretary of the
mental hygiene committee of the
State Charities Aid Association of
New York, asserted in an address
before the national conference of So

there is one feebleminded person to

the light Of the National army fig

gible.
1T is becoming more and more
evident that the proper place to dis

Sea Is Calling Again
To Youth of America
THE NEW SHIPS MUST HAVE
MANY THOUSANDS TO
MAN THEM.

Washington, May 1.-THE sea is
again calling to American youth. As
the new ships OF the merchant ma
rne glide down the ways, the need
for men grows more pressing. Abun-
dant opportunity to aid in winning
the war is offered the crews OF the
new vessels, with the certainty that
when peace comes there will be fur
ther adventure and good pay in car
rying American commerce through
out the world.
Recruiting of the boys and men
who must go down to the sea ii
America is to regain her old place
among the maritime nations is in
the hands Of the shipping boards en-
listment service, headed by Henry
Howard, with headquarters at Bos
ton, who has outlined to union men
and steamship companies what al
ready has been accomplished.
About year ago we realized
the shortage that was going to arise
when the new fleet was finished,
Mr.. Howard said, and we started
the training OF officers, both deck
and engineer. We established a train
of schools extending along the At
lantic coast, the Gulf OF Mexico, the
Pacific coast and the Great Lakes,
to enable us to get hold OF the men
who had experience at sea. We then
got the cooperation OF lhe steam
boat inspection service. NO man
was admitted to our schools for OIL
Gcers unless he could first qualify
for experience required by the rules
of the steamboat inspection service.
That obviates the training OF any
dead material. After men get their
licenses, we place them. as far as
possible, on steamships as junior Of
6cers, to get Actual bridge expert
ence, for 30 to 90 days. During
that period they get SIS a month,
with no bonus, paid by the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation, so that
the only expense to the steamship
companies taking these men is the
food they eat.
I'VE have turned out officers so
fast that a great many have not
been finding positions in the mcr-
chant marine and have gone into |

CHESS KELLY TO
PAY DEATH PENALTY
JACKSON COUNTY COURT UP
HELD IN ASSESSING THE
DEATH SENTENCE.
SUPREME COURT so DECIDES
Kelly Was Convicted of Killing H. A.
Harmon on June 9, 1917, in the Seq
regated District of Newport and
Punishment Fixed BY Court.
Little Rock

Little Rock
The Supreme Court ruled that when
the jury does not fix the penalty for
first degree murder, as it has the
right to do under the Acts of 1915, the
punishment fixed by law, which is
death, follows the verdict. The court
therefore affirmed the Judgment of the
lower coure in sentencing Chess KEEL
ley to death.
Kelley was convicted of killing H.
A. Harmon on June 8, 1917, in the seq
regated district of Newport, and his
punishment was fixed by the court at
the death penalty. The evidence tend
ed to show that Kelley, with another
man and woman companion, went to
the house of an inmate of the district,
with whom he was reported to be in
fatuated, where he found Harmon and,
turning to his male companion, asked
for his gun, saying that he was going
to kill Harmon. He fired four shots
into Harmon's body.
Numerous errors were. assigned by
Kelley's lawyers, none of which the
court found should be sustained.
Among them was the form of the ver-
dict returned by the jury, which was
to the effect that Kelley was guilty
of murder in the first degree, as
charged in the Indictment" on which
verdict the court imposed the death
penalty. The 1915 legislature passed
an act under which the jury. in it's dis
erection, might assess life imprison-
ment as the punishment for first de-
gree murder in place of the death pen
atty. Kelleys lawyers contended that
the act is mandatory and requires the
jury to fix the punishment either at
death or life Imprisonment, but the
Supreme Court held that the act only
extended the pivilege to the jury.

News of the Tailored Blouse

1.-THE palmer the better" has become
almost an axiom In the case of tailored
blouses. We believe 1t each season
with a few reservations to cover those
clever novelties that are not as plain
as they look. This spring materials
are In plain colors and In narrow
stripes, there are blouses in which the
accessories, collars and cuffs. are
made of checked silk or fine ginghams,
and then plenty of small tucks and al
most imperceptible plaits in both plain
and striped waists.
In tailored blouses there is also a
veering toward high-necked styles.
Narrow striped voiles have high col
lars and small chemisettes in white
set In and finished with rows of very
small pearl buttons. These close-set
rows of buttons, by the way, are fea-
tured on all the best blouses whether
they belong to the tailored or the
dressy class But the high-necked
blouse is not likely to supersede, or
even equal, the blouse with open throat
in popularity, because the open throat
is much more comfortable In hot
weather.

Wash satins, for constant wear,
have made good and this spring findr
them strong factor In tailored
blouses. The colors liked are sane,
light yellow, flesh, gray, and, of
course, white. Two or three large
pearl buttons and long buttonholes,
bound with narrow strips Of the satin,
finish them. Sometimes these button
holes are set in on a diagonal instead
of straight line, and this little odd
touch is so smart we wonder why
someone did not think of it sooner
Occasionally among the new models

very practical look, but the freshness
of the voile and satin and the dainti'
