Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

No one attending the meeting at
the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday afternoon
regretted the hour he spent after lis
tening to the address of Mr.. l.. IL.
Lightner in description of his recent
trim through Texas. The address was
one of the most interesting which has
been given in a long while. The
speaker told of the progress which
was in evidence among the colored
people of that state, and which showed
itself in the educational and religious
life of the people as well as economic
ally. He said he had never seen the
people with more money, never so
much religious activity among them,
neither had he ever seen the schools
more crowded. His description of his
visit to the army camps was especial
ly interesting. 1t was inspiring, he
said, to see such large numbers of
splendid looking men, and the earnest
ness with which they went about their
work. He made the same statement
made by all who have visited the
camps, namely. that the Y. M. c. A.
is the biggest and noblest thing in
the camp life of the men.
A splendid meeting of the Commit
tee of Management was held Tuesday
evening. The reports were good, and
every one was in cheerful and hope
full frame of mind. 1t was the first
meeting since the secretary's decision
to remain with the work. He prom
ised continuation of the vigorous
policy recently inaugurated, and every
man present pledged his loyal and
hearty support. Geo. c. King, William
Gatewood, Alfred V. Gardner and A.
c. Jackson have recently been added
to the committee. A helpful step
taken was the organization of the
body into different standing commit
tees. This is bound to add to the in
terest and efficiency of the work.
A splendid meeting is promised for
next Sunday afternoon at four o'clock.
The subject will be: "Can the Denver
Negro Improve His Condition-Moral-
ly, Economically and in General" The
program will begin at four o'clock, and
all will be welcome.

THE CRIME OF THE TEUToN CHIEFS.

by Iiees d. Rees of the Denver, Colo, Bar.
Through boundless space the wild winds blow
Weird and sad as they moaning go,
Upward and onward, Heaven bound,
Bearing aloft their burdens sad,
The bloody tales OF men gone mad
Der Heavens great rampars far and wide,
Mount the terrors of battle tide
With crash and din and mighty roar,
While mournful, sad the songs they sing,
Till time shall better tidings bring.
Mad and heartless souls dead within
Scourged and deuged with mortal sin,
The sin of greed for might and power.
The Teuton chiefs have sought the hour
The O smite and lowly lay
The rights of men meath tyrant sway.
Seethng with pain the tortured world
Battles amain with flags unfurled
With mighty it's soldiers brave
their swords. gtrng in the SUM-
Thee they'll conquer, thou brutal Hun!
Fiend incarnate! The hosts of hell
Are rampant, wild as meath their spell
With murder. intrigue lust and blood
That might'st rule, with evil hate,
Though Heaven itself bemoan mans fate
Creation shierks and stands aghast,
AS DER the earth thy with ring blast,
Profanes the works of Him on high,
And millions many bleed and die,
While children and women weep!
e Teuton chief Gods not asleep!
Eternal Cod whose mighty hand
Clasps all the spheres grains of sand,
win end foreer thy cankring blight.
o blaspheme not His holy name!
Nor vaunt He shares thy dreaded shame!
Earths trumpets shall unceasing sound
CLEAN till vict'ry crowned
Useless thy empty cries for
Until thy wholly
Crushed thou shalt be! 'Tis Heavens decree
he wide o'er shall be freei
servient to thy CALL
o thy country all,
Will join the world, and (God be praised),
Thy tyrant flag to earth be razed;
Then will dawn the golden day,
Right Not Might the world shall sway

The incident brought home 10 the
man as nothing else had done the bur

America. The boys go away in the
spirit of high purpose and with the
enthusiasm of youth for the great ad-
venture. They are active and busy all
the time. On the mothers waiting alone
at home comes the nerve wearing
strain. Every battle puts their courage
to the test. Every lull is q respite until
the next time.
II has been that way since the be-
ginning of history. The men have gene

nome fires burning. waiting for news
from the warriors. Their courage and
steadfastness has been the foundation
of the courage and steadfast2ess of

So today the women Of America,
sending out their boys with brave
heart. imparting 10 them some OF their
own noble resolution, doing their duty
at home, meeting anxieties with un-
daunted spirit. are the very bulwark
of their couniry's power.

SEARS-ROBUCK CO. ARE UNFAIR
Federal Trade Body Forbids Mail Or
der House To Advertise Goods
LESS Than Cost"

Washington, d. c., July 1.-THE
federal trade commission announced
today the issuance of an order forbid
ding Sears, ROebuck & Co, to con
tinue unfair methods of competition"
in selling sugar below cost and in
misrepresenting its teas and coffees.
The practices the company is or
dered to cease are:
81 Circulating catalogues contain
ing advertisements of sugar for sale
wherein it is falsely represented that
because of large purchasing power and
quick moving stock the company is
able to sell sugar at a lower price
than its competitors.
"2. Selling or Offering to sell su-
gar below cost, through catalogues
circulated throughout the country.
Blow at Competitors.
"3. Circulating catalogues contain
ing advertisements representing that
its competitors do not deal fairly, hon
estly, and justly with their customers.
a. Circulating catalogues contain
ing advertisements Offering its teas
for sale in which advertisements it
is falsely stated that the company
sends special representative to Jap
an, who personally goes into the tea
gardens of that country and personal
ly supervises the picking of the tea.
IS. Circulating catalogues contain
ing advertisements Offering coffee for
sale in which it is falsely stated that
the company purchases all of its cof-
fees directly from the best plantations
in the world"

Ill FkTED VENICE

Austrian migrule OF conquered prov
inces in Italy aroused the indignation
Of Lord Byron. who, If he were alive,
might eptomize better than anyone
today the cruelty that has kept the
three unredeemed provinces back
ward and discOnsolate under an Op-
presgOr's yoke. Because so far away
and happening wnen American inter
est was confined TO the Development Of
the western hemisphere, few persons
in this country are familiar with the
story.
NapoleOn's downfall led TO the par
titiOn Of Europe al the Congress Of
Vienna in 1915. Austria kept five pro-
vinces of ItaIy--Lombardy, the Tren,
tino, Veneto, Julian veneto and Dal-
malta. When the kingdom Of Italy
was formed all were given up except
three. the TrentinO, Julian VenetO and
Dalmatia.
Byron's famous lines are effectively
quoted by Mario Alberti, an author Of
the present day, TO show the deca-
dence Of Venice under Austria. The
English poet wrote hundred years
ago:
OH agony--that centuries should reap
No meIIower harvest, Thirteen hun
dred years
OF weal.L and glory turned to dust
and tears:
And every monument the stranger
meets,
Church, palace, pillar, as a mourner
greets;
And even the Lion all subdued ap-
pears,
And the harsh sound of the barbarian
drum.
With duh and daily dissonance re-
peats
The echo Of thy tyrant's voice along
The soft waves, once all musical to
song.
Again in the fourth c&nto of Childe
Harold. Byron says:
AN emperor tramples where an EN-.
peror knelt:
Kingdoms are shrunk TO provinces
and chains
Clank over sceptered cities"
Venice was the city TO suffer most, /"
says AIberti. from the ruinous effects
OF misrule. In 1897 II numbered 1877 .240
inhabitants. including those OF MUIR
ano. Burano and Malmoeco. In 1924
the population. on the same basis, mad
decreased to $4,000. In 1897 there
were 900. while more. than 10000 in
habitants were in need of charitable
aid"

POLITICS is ADJOURNED"

"As days go by We get more and
more light on the Democratic inter
pretation Of Mr.. Wilson's resounding
declaration that politics is adjourn
ed says the Chicago Tribune.
In Wisconsin it was revealed by a
personal Endorsement by the president
of the Democratic candidate, and Or
ganization partisan of the most con-
ventional variety. Imbedded in this in
dorsement was a poisonous innuendo
against the Republican candidate, a
congressman of high character who
had supported the presidents war
measures more Loyalty than number
of leading Democrats.
Next follows the Michigan adjourn,
ment, where We have the president
requesting Mr.. Ford to run for the
senatorship against Mr.. Osborn, who
announced his candidacy months ago.
This request is promptly seconded by
a conference Of Democrats. who jump
at a chance of "adiOurning politics"
in their rock ribbed Republican state
by nominating a candidate whose
means and influence are as ample as
his Republicanism is dubious. Certain
ly a Michigan organization Democrat
who would object TO Mr.. Ford because
he has been classified as a Republican
exaggerates the importance of a some
what damaged label. The conscientious
Democrat might object to Mr. Ford as
emphatically as a Republican, but not
one who is looking only for election
results
And now the adjournment Of poll
tics appears in Illinois, where the
Democrats propose that Illinois, one
of the banner Republican states OF
the union, shall accept the ministra-
tions of our prismatic senior senator
for four years more.
Thus the full beauty of adjourn
ment is interpreted to us day by day
and we begin to see that it means not
the adjournment Of politics but are ad-
iournment OF Republican politics. The
qualifying adjective evidently dropped
off before Mr.. Wilson's delivery or
perhaps the reporters failed to hear it.
But that omission is now made good.
The adjournment of politics means the
election to congress in all solid Repub-
lican states of Democrats or Republi
cans who work for and voted the Dem
ocratic ticket at the last presidential
election. Some adjournment"

COL. SWAIN ALERT
TELLS BRiTISHERS THE MEAN
ING OF MEMORIAL DAY.

Rev. Alexander McFerran, who
keeps in touch with affairs in the Brit
ish Isles through the British Weekly"
was pleased to find the following item
in the copy of the paper received last
week:
May 80 was the day set apart by
the American nation for the remem.
brance of their countrymen who had
laid down Ineir lives for the cause of
justice and freedom in the Civil and
other wars. At a little rest camp not
far from Southampton, the day was
kept as holiday. Sports were held in
the morning and afternoon and in the
evening there were several speeches.
Col. Swain, the U. S. A. Consul in
Southampton, came out and addressed
the men.
ut was on a June day in 1862" he
said, that / first put my name down
as a volunteer in the American army,
and from that period until the close
of the Civil War wore the uniform OF
an American soldier Now | am here
WIFI d NCIy AA
deed, to say that the efforts and sacri-
fees made by the men of 1861 TO 1865
have made it possible for you TO be
here today, because we preserved the
country as a nation in order that you
might enjoy the blessings OF civil lib
erty. Today we have been keeping our
Memorial exercises. There are over
forty-live graves of American soldiers
in Southampton and Winchester. that
have been decorated today. For
several days our own and the British
forces have been battling together in
the cause of freedom, and whatever
immediate result, the final end will
be an absolute and certain victory. |
know sometimes we read news of how
this and that line has been forced
back, but let me tell you one thing, if
you will study the history of the Eng
lish army and nation, you will know
that there was a time when Britain
stood alone for over thirteen years,
when one nation after another was
swept away by Napoleon, but in the
end Napoleon was vanquished. 1t is
a great thing to know we are associ-
ated today in comradship of arms with
a nation that has never known defeat
in just cause"
The Oskaloosa herald., 1918-07-04
BEG YOUR PARDON!

The Herald of this city writing of
the New Sharon Chatauqua, says:
New Sharon this year is one Of
the few smaller cities that will
maintain a popular chautauGua, as
10 a large extent they have been
dropped for the time being"
All Of which is a mlSstatement.
Facts are, there are more chautauquas
this year than usual, as the Herald
reporter could easily find out by con-
sulting the Lyceum Magazine, which
published long list in the May num-
Der. Our neighboring town of Tracy
this year announces a chautauqua.
The only chautauqua We know Of in
this part of the state disseminating is
that of Fairfield. The Government
desires the chautauqua TO continue
their sessions during this war emer'
gency. President Wilson has written
an open letter. in which he says:
The work that the chautauqua
is doing has not lost importance
because of the war but rather has
gained new opportunities for ser
vice. Let me express the hope
that you will let no discourage
ment weaken your activities, and
that the people will not fail in
the support of patriotic institu-
. tion that may be an integral part
of the national defense"
"Vice President Marshall voices hi:
approval in these words:
There is no place where more
good can be done for the govern
ment and for the cause than upon
the chautauqua platform"
Naturally these declarations cal
for the right kind of a program. 81
far as Oskaloosa is concerned th'
Board of Directors have built pro
gram in keeping with the times
program that has never been eXcellet
in it's history, and that is saying
great deal. 1t will be the most expens
i've list of headliners we have ever had
and there will be a patriotic ring Il
every program.
I'VE believe the people will respon'
as never before. e."-Saturday Globe.
