Association for the Advancement Of
Colored People is making a nation
wide appeal for membership, not on
any narrow grounds Of race or class
privilege, but on the broad ground of
justice, of equal protection of all citi-
zens under the law without distinc-
ton of race or creed or class. The
maintenance Of these just principles
is of equal interest to all classes Of
citizens and an essential element Of
national strength. We therefore feel
justified in asking all classes of citi-
zens to join our. association for this
common principle of justice and civil
liberty. The association admits men,
bers upon payment Of any amount
from one dollar per year upwards.
"The association feels that the
American people have . right to be
proud Of the one hundred thuosand
cclored soldiers now serving in the
regular army and the national army.
AS a result Of an active campaign on
the part of this association an officers
training camp for colored men was
inaugurated at Des Moines, Iowa, as a
consequence of which nearly seven
hundred Negro officers were commits
stoned. ssss
''The association, through an anti
]vnching fund contributed by believers
in law and order, investigates as many
cases as possible Of lynching and mob
violence, gives publicity to the facts
regarding them. and endeavors to
arouse public opinion against the mob
spirit. Annually. through the gift of
the chairman of the board of directors
of the association, the Spingarn medal
is awarded for the highest or noblest
achievement by Negro American
during the preceding year."

 SAFETY OF BANKS.

The National Banks of the country are now eight times as safe as they were during the thirty three year per iod, prior to June 30. 1914, provided that an acceptance of the reduced pro- portion of losses sustained by deposi tors of failed banks to the total de- posits during the past three years as compared to the proceeding thirty three years is taken as criterion. ! Records just compiled show that for the years from 1S1 to 1914 the. loss es to depositors from bank failures were twenty eight one thousandths of one per cent of the aggregate deposits annually, during this, period.
 In 1915-16-17 the percentage of losses sustained to depositors through the same source totaled about three one-thousands of one per cent or less than one eighth of what these losses averaged during the preceding thirty three years.
 ,. This result can be attributed to the increased system of banks and bank ing throughout the United States. Bank examination has much to do with this showing. Also the more rigid ob- servance of the law by the banks for their protection and for the protection of their depositors.
 The increased safety of banking is more marked each year and contin- ued minimizing of the evil will be shown.

street car, which in many cases is fol- I lowed by an automobile. Still another I riding the rear end of an automobile or truck and jumping off just in front of another machine approaching from the opposite direction Others on roll CT skates endangering themselves and other citizens. Quite few being pro- pelled in this manner by an automo- bile or other vehicle. Those dangerous practices have grown to such an cx- tena that just fears for the safety of the youngsters and of others have been entertained.
 Another practice that is not only indulged in by the juveniles but by older persons is that of riding freight trains thru the railway yards of the city. It is no uncommon view to wit nesses large numbers of men and old CT Doys riding the side, rods, top and other dangerous places on the trains. Many appear to enjoy the practice of jumping on and off as the train pro- ceeds.
 All these practices have grown to such an extent that drastic steps are to be taken for the abolition of them
 The truant and probation officer has taken steps for the police and oth- CT officials to warn the offenders. If this does not suffice more stringient measures will be taken. City officials will no doubt watch the matter of rid ing trains which is criminal offense
 The safety of every ones good is taken into consideration and the CO., operation of fathers, mothers and those interested ill the safety of the city's children and citizenry should be given in the matter of checking these practices.

UNITED STEEL
 DIVIDEND RATE
 DOWN A DOLLAR

New York, Oct. 29.-Directors of the United States Steel Corporation at their quarterly meeting today re- duced the "extra" dividend of the common shares from the three dollar rate effective since the first quarter of 1917 to two dollars.
 The regular distributions of l IA percent on the common stock and 3.l percent on the preferred were voted as usual.
 The reduction in the "extra" diviG- end was doubtless impelled by the further enormous appropriation of $101 ,987,347 for account of federal income and war excess profits taxes as disclosed by the quarterly reports. This exceeds the appropriation of the previous quarter by slightly more than $11 100000.
 In the three quarters of the caleu- dar year the steel corporation has charged off to this item the vast sum of $224,28p,795 these charges rang ing from $31 ,585, ,198 in the first quar- ter to the heavy appropriation today slightly in excess of 70 percent of the quarters total earnings.
 Total earnings, exclusive fthe in- come and profits taxes, amounted to $144,948,936, which is less by about $8,325, ,000 than the high record at tained in the June quarter.

SEEING IS BELIEVING.

Austria claims to have complied with all fourteen terms of President Wilson's peace or armistice program. The note from this country on the way to Washington is claimed to contain the statement that this coun- try has complied with the Presidents demand for recognition of the rights of the Czecho- -Slovaks and Jugo- Slavs and other oppressed nations of Austria.
 It is not viewed by the majority that complete independence has been granted these peoples. It certainly has not been guaranteed. This must be made clear to the President before the communication is forwarded to the Al lid Supreme War Council. The Czecho Slovaks has been recognized ag an independent government by the United States and their independence must be entirely guaranteed.
 Emperor Charles of Austria it would appear has decided to let Hun- gary shift for itself. This leads Am orleans to believe that Emperor Char les and the Austrian monarchy is act ing with the full knowledge and die tation of the German government.
 It is further pointed out that Ger many will not be adverse to Austria securing separate peace, this mean ing that Austria is to become a coma tose nation as regards war. To this plan the United Sttaes and the Allied nations are not agreed. Austria must either stand and fall with the kaiser's crew, or else pay the full con sequence of its part in the era of mur- der and. rapine that has characterized their share in the war.
 The United States and the Allies must be given free passage through Austria to attack the enemy from the south. Nothing short of uncondition. al surrender and sincere demonstra. tion that Austria no longer is an ally of the kaiser must be made before 2 separate peace is granted.

[BOLSHEVIKI UPRISING REPORT
 SCATTERED BY THE BOCHES

Washington, Oct. 29.-The German military party is putting out story that a Bolsheviki uprising is threat ened in Germany, according to reports reaching the State Department today from Switzerland. These reports are being circulated in Switzerland and Holland by German agents and news papers. These evident intent of the re- ports, it is believed here, is to per suade the allies not to make too dras- tic terms with Germany in the peace settlements.
