GOLF CONTAINS A SECRET
POWER MORE SUBTLE
THAN MEDICINE.

Doctors differ about many pre-
SCripIions, but golf has Il secret
power which is more subtle In its
actions than any homeopathic or
ulloputhic medicines. After a
few dinner parties where there
Is more than cold water served,
the average mortal can find II lot
Of things wrong with his head,
lungs, heart and digestion.
There is one man who believes
that there should bee an entrance
gate to every golf course, and
that the following sign should be
posted:
IAN Ills abandon, yc who en-
ter here"
There was something else said
over II certain place by Dante.
but he with faith in his heart
will be confident that II was Il
mlsquOtc.

The Color Line.

There is theater in Washington managed by a
of color, producing attractions with negro ac-
tors and playing to big houses at every per-
formance
The fact will surprise many, for few of us take
enough interest in the black man to even inquire
about what he is doing, how he is living what
are his amusements. We get the greater part of
our information of the negro from the police
courts, and fail to recognize the fact the ninety
and nine are hard-working, sclf-respectng and
earnestly trying to upIift the race.
Take this company of actors, for instance. Not
one in the cast of show recently was over
dressed-or, many in white shows, un-
derdressed. The lines were spoken intelligenty,
and, in several instances with fine of the
dramatic
The audience was as orderly and as repressed
as Philadelphia audience. Only when the action
humorous did the fun-loving propensity of the
race riot The ushers uniformed, the
asles were carpeted the seats of leather, the
scenery up-to-date, and the audience, wholly
of negroes, well dressed and decorous.
Washington has negroes of doubtful repute,
and they break into print only through committing
petty crimes, but let not lose sight of the fact
that there is very earnest attempt, within the
race, to better their standing in the community in
which they make .heir homes.
The race that produced Frederick Douglas and
Booker Washington and Paul Lawrence Dunbar is
going to come into its own and it is our duty to
encourage and to assist them in the achievement
of their ideals.
The Washington herald., 1918-02-25

"The people be damned" The profteer is here,
without a doubt. and he is prohting at the ex-
pense of the rest of us-but let us not confound
this individual with the men who are serving with
out thought of anything save living profit So
many people raise the cry of prohteering without
having the facts, and when many of the charges
are sifted they are. found to be grounded on the
club gossip of the so-called wise group. If there
is prohteering in the Objectionable sense, the gov
not only wants to know the facts, but will
place every convenience at the disposal Of the
one who has facts to deliver. No one in this gov
ernment wants to up scandal, be it at Hog
Island anywhere else-but, in the name of
heaven let US stop making charges-unless we can
substantiate them.
Then, too, bear this in mind; the man who
peddles rumors might be scratched and found to be
inoculated with the virus of the enemy. The most
speeious propaganda is the whispered sort.
The next time you hear of scandal that smacks
OF an attempt to sow dstrust of your government,
make the monger come across with the facts.

The Glory Up There.
" foreign land

In far-away foreign land
The land that we call "Over There
Where war smites with whitening hand
Fruitful fields now crimson and bare,
A boy to America true,
Who is dearer than life to me,
Fights under the Red, White and Blue
For home and the land of the free.
Dear Lord, as he follows the flag,
The emblem of liberty here,
May zeal for the right never lag
With fear-ridden ranks at the rear.
But grant, in the furious fight,
With the war VOLTS howl in the air,
To brighten his way with the light
That guides to the glory up there.
AS he treads the patriots path,
Trod by thousands who fought and fell
Where tyranny's reasonless wrath
1nvokes all the terrors of hell
0 Father of mercy above,
In the fight for righteousness here,
Bide Thou IN his heart with Thy love
In foretaste of glory up there.
But II n that land "Over There"
Where death reaps harvest of life
My boy, young and brave and so fair,
Shall fall in the pitiless strife,
o then may look unto Thee,
Dear Father, my burden to share,
Till the portals of heav'n / sec
And meet him in glory up there,

German Propaganda.

Custavus Ohlinger, president of the Toledo
Chamber OF Commerce, testifying before Senate
committee the King bill, which seeks to dissolve
the German-American Alliance, gave utterance to
some startling statements
Mr. Ohlinger made definite charges which he
said he was prepared to prove, that Germany
started plotting against the United States twenty
years ago; that confidential sources provided the
money on which the alliance conducted its propa-
ganda; that the alliance has constantly and fla
grantly violated its charter.
Seven indictments against the organization,
made by Mr.. Ohlinger, are as follows:
Consolidating all persons of German descent,
using German press, schools stage, societies and
propaganda to this end; arousing racial antago-
nsm and resisting assimilation; conducting a prop
aganda for Germany; opposing American policies;
urtherng the aims of dsloyal organizations and in
dviduals; opposing "rabidly" prohibition inter
ference with the liquor traffic; relying upon un-
known sources for financial support
The present rs no time to even temporize with
any person or persons guilty of any of these in
dietments By far the greater majority of So
called German-Americans before the war are to-
day Americans. Many of these are in the waf
actively, Others have sons and relatives as deter
mined to crush the military clique in Germany as
We are-but let not confuse these with this
German-American Alliance with its alleged 3ooo-
300 members. If the latter organization is as Mr..
Ohlinger says, it should be speedily dissolved

Saying a Kind Thing, Kindly.

The Washington Herald finds pleasure in
quoting from letter from valued subscriber
who says: 81 am a subscriber because l admire
your sane, sensible and fearless stand for the
right We certainly lost if courage, truth and
honesty are not to be standards"
We will be acquitted of boastfulness when we
say that so many letters of this kindly sort are
coming to US that we and more en-
couraged in the belief that the people want and
will appreciate paper that is unafrad to tell the
truth-that is helpful and not designedly destruc-
tve-that is first with the news and doesn't give
a red cent for the cheap scandals the salacious
gossip of an overcrowded community.
1t will please our friends to know that within
the month the circulation of The Herald has been
increased by ten thousand-and is going upward
at a rate that is eminently satisfactory to our
readers, to our advertisers and to ourselves.

men, so the complaint is. The prob
ability Is that no change will be made
in this respect, however, as the coun-
try needs the money very badly, and
there is no disposition in the office OF
the Secretary Of the Treasury to rec
ommend the amendment of the rev.
enue act to provide for this.
Some Of the barristers hereabouts
are wrought up over Chief Justice
Smyth's refusal to disregard the law
and allow more than legal compensa-
ton to attorneys in certain classes OF
government litigation.
The attorneys say previous chief
justices have treated the law as a
joke and fixed the compensation on a
proper basis
"The law is half a century old and
should never have been passed, and
other court officers have done right
in disregarding it, say the aggrieved
local attorneys.
But are they right?
They are not, according to the gen.
eral opinion held by members of the
District Committee by both Houses.
If laws are not made to keep then
they should be repealed. But they
should not be fractured before they
are repealed. Moreover, IL a member
of the court of the District cannot
be expected to observe this law why
should we expect him to observe the
spirit of other laws? II lawbrea kins
is to start from a member of the Su-
preme bench of the District, why
shouldn't it be extended down the
line, and perhaps include other laws
not having to do with the technical
conduct of litigation?
II the local bar is not satisfied with
the whiskery old statute under which
it must operate. let the members
ask its repeal by Congress. Let a
presentation of the matter be made to
the members of Congress and let the
barristers go about this in a business
like. patriotic way.
It is unfair to Judge Smyth to con-
denim him for following the law, il
is a reflection on Congress and upon
the country to suggest that he dc
other than observe it.

RED CROSS KITS
FOR ALL SOLDIERS

Every American woman who has
helped to pack a Red Cross comfort
kit for our boys lover there" will be
interested in cablegram received
yesterday at the national headquar-
ters of the American Red Cross from
Maj. James H. Perkins, American Red
Cross commissioner to Europe.
The cablegram reads: Every
American soldier now entering the
trenches carries an American Red
Cross comfort kit containing towel,
shirt, writing paper, pencil, soap.
handkerchief, socks, mirror and
tobacco. The number of kits cannot
be stated, but the fact that every
soldier has one means that the work
done by American women is q big
comfort to the soldiers now on the
firing line. This fact should be q
solace to the American women who
have made them as well as to the
soldiers. More kits wanted with
socks and tobacco"

CROP REPORT Shows
CORN MARKET NORMAL
Movement of Cereals to Increase as
Government Furnishes Cars-

Chicago. Feb. "A ccording to a
special crop report issued Satur-
day by the Modern Miller. compiled
reports on the entire wheat belt,
the alternate freezing and thawing
in the Southwest and West has
caused some deterioration to the
winter wheat plant
The crop is greening up where
there has been growing weather
and on the whole the promise may
be called normal
The movement Of corn is likely
to increase still further during the
coming week, as the government
has furnished large quantities OF
cars and these are being sent TO
the great belt and are being loaded
with the yellow cereal and shipped
to terminal points.
According to arrangements with
the war trade and customs officials
concerning exports of corn to Can
ada it has been agreed that no
grains No. / and No. . may be eX-
ported to Canada for feeding or
manufacturing purposes.
No corn may be exported for seed

A reversible cotton wig, one side
Of which Is green to conceal the wear
er when moving through schrubbery,
and the other reddish-brown TO blend
with the turf of the trenches is a
clever and late addition to the mani
fold number OF camouhage devices
put forward to aid in winning the
war.
This new disguise was accepted
by the War Department after hav-
ing been submitted to IL by the
inventor, Harris p. Franklin, Mem
phis. Tenn. Mr.. Franklin, who is
a prominent cotton manufacturer
OF that city, was in the early days
OF the war connected with the ord
nance department OF Great Britain.
While there he became interested
in the subject of defense disguise.
and the camouhage wig is the re-
suit OF his endeavors to produce a
readily adaptable device to enable
the soldiers to maneuver secure
from detection by the enemy.
1t Is now proposed to manufac-
ture these wigs in large quantities
and send them Immediately to Eu-
rope for use at the front
Deep appreciation for the work
being done by the American Fund
for the French Wounded is ex'
pressed in a recent letter from Gen
Petain, commander-in-chief OF the
French armies. which was ad'
dressed TO the ladies of the Amer
ican Fund for French Wounded, civil
ian committee. at Blerancourt
Aisne. He writes as follows:
"I fully appreciate the report which
you have sent me concerning the re-
lief work for the civilian population
in the army zone. Work such as
yours renders not only great material
aid, but contributes in a great meas
ure to the good morale Of the troops,
The French soldiers are largely agri-
culturalists and nothing would oom-
fort them more than to see theil
fields cultivated. planted and hsr-
vested.
II cannot too greatly encourage
work capable of bringing material
help, and at the same time unques-
toned moral support Again express
ing TO you the testimony of my ap-
probation, ] beg you. mesdames, &C
