hailed from the City of New York, where,
for time, he was the leading I. w. W.
agitator, and showed so much executive
ability that he was sent to Russia to lead
the hordes Of that unfortunate country to
victory over the classes. His identity was
discovered by white man, also OF New
York having business with the Bolsheviki
Government, which came under the depart
ment over which the colored man presides,
and true to his native prejudice the prom
inence of the colored man to the contrary
Notwithstanding he could not resist the
tempting morsel of trying to show up the
black mans mental weakness due to the
fact that his skin was black Now here
was a money-mad American endeavorine
to do the Russian Government, in which he
was assisted by the colored man and while
doing so he licked the black mans hand,
but he no sooner got what he wanted when
he held up to public ridicule his benefactor.
Far be it from us to show any admiration
for any one, black or white, who rises to
power on anarchistic food but we would
hate ourselves if we accepted favors from
an orang -outang and then publicly ridiculed
it afterwards There seems to be no other
way for the black man to show the stuff
that s in him only by wading through revolu-
ton and human gore, and this black man,
realizing it and being ambitious to be at
the head Of mankind, made much of the
opportunity when it presented itself. It is
also said that Villa, the Mexican revolu-
ZIONIST, is likewise an American colored man

NO CROSS OF GOLD FOUND

If all the lakes in the world dried up,
what would we find in their beds?
The question is raised through recent
allusio nto Lake Semlevo, in Moscow, which
allusion to Lake Smelevo, in Moscow, which
pure gold Is feet in height. Napoleon-so
the story ran-tried to carry it away with
him as war trophy, but, when disaster
came upon him, lost it in the lake.
About seven years ago, relates writer in
Answers, the lake was actually drained, but
no cross was found, although the bed was
scattered with other relics Of Napoleons
retreat-remains of carts, horses, uniforms,
etc.
There are many similar stories from other
parts. In the depth Of South American
lake over 100000 worth of gold is said
to have been thrown by Peruvian priests
when fleeing from the Spaniards, and the
bed of the Danube is the supposed hiding
place af Attilas wealth.

AMERICAN NEGRO RUSSIAN CABINET
MINISTER

The statement that an American Negro is
a Cabinet Minister under the present Boil
sheviki regime in Russia is made by writer
in the current issue of The Worlds Work.
In discussing the subject-"The Bolshe-
wiki, Who They Are and What They Be-
lieve," the writer, described in the maya
zine as "a New York business man, says:
81 made my way to Room II, the Foreign
Office. There was a great palaver going on.
What was being said was not half so inter-
esting as how it was being said These Of
fcials conversed almost exclusively in Eng

They were Jews. They did not talk Russian
they talked Bowery
"While waiting my turn with the secre-
tary, in paraded an unmistakable character
an American Negro. Abandoning all bus
mess and decorum the functionary sprang
from his seat and yelled: Hello, Johnny,
what can I do for you?'
"The 'darky' returned the greeting and
was nothing if not democratic. I ventured
to hail him as fellow New Yorker, hoping
thus to expedite my business. He was de-
lighted, and assuming command agreed to
shove things through for me.
"'What Ministry do you belong to-, said
I. He grinned. ITO all the ministries. I

''No wonder the secretary hoped about.
This committee was the executive and auto
cratic head Of Smolny Government and was
superior to all ministers and all cabinets. It
was the inviolate and ultimate authority.

PAYING OUR DEBT TO KOsCIUsKO

Seldom do you think as you pass the stat
ute Of the Polish hero, Thaddeus Kosciusko,
stationed in Lafayette Park, with the other
soldiers OF fortune who came to America to
help the COlonials in severing their connec-
ton with the mother country, that the great
Pole was true lover of mankind, regard
less of race or condition.
So much was Kosciusko affected by the
condition Of our people as slaves in a
country which was itself struggling for po-
litical freedom, that he gave, willed and
bequeathed all of his money and estate in
this country to free slaves and to educate
them in useful trades.
Every blow struck by our brave boys
cover there' is blow against the enemy
Of Poland, and to free Poland, which bred
such men as Kosciusko, one hundred and
fifty years ago, is to advance the cause of
human freedom.
Every dispatch carries some story of the
valor Of our men. Each and every one of
them knows that he battles for the race
and the cause of the Lord, as well as in the
service of his country. That is what
strengthens his arm.
Kosciusko's gifts to us have, like bread
upon the waters, returned after century
and half.
IF this great hero were alive today he
would say as we do, "No peace until liberty
prevails for the oppressed peoples of the
world"
Let every man of the race doff his hat in
respectful salutation to the statue Of Kos
ciusko when he passes it.
We honor ourselves when we show honor
and gratitude to those who sacrificed and
aided us in our struggle against power, op-
preston, wrong, outrage and greed.
Hats off, gentlemen to General Kosciusko.
From The Eagle, Washington, D. c., 1918.
1t will be recalled that at the death of
General Koscuisko that he set aside in his
will $4,000 which was to be turned over to
Thomas Jefferson, author Of the Declaration
of Independence and two times President
Of the United States that the $4,000 was
to be expended in buying the freedom OF
slaves settling them on small tracts of land
Of their own and educating them and the
bitterest political foes Of Mr.. Jefferson con-
tend that he accounted for and expended
every penny of the money as directed by
General Kosciusko-Broad AK.

NATIONWIDE MOVE IS DESIRED TO
 HELP THE FARMERS

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. r. A nationwide campaign in every town and hamlet to help farmers to produce the maximum of food- stuffs during the war has been proposed to the National Humber Manufacturers Association by Sec- retary A. L. Porter of the Vest ern Retail Lumbermen's Associa- ton.
 The plan provides that for three lays or a week in March or April. Ill merchants, professional men, bankers, and citizens generally throughout the country hold mot ings to help and encourage the maximum production of foodstuffs next season. MT. Porter suggests that lumbermen be prepared to sub- init figures on building complete barns, silos, machinery houses, etc., leaving the farmer free to devote his full time to getting in his crop.

ALCOHOL FOR FOODS MUST
 BE REGULATED
President Wilson's Recent Proclamation Is Now Effective in the
 Nation.

WASHINGTON, Jan -Presi- dent Wilson's proclamation is now effective reducing the alcoholic con- tent of beer brewed after January 1, 1918, to 3 3-4 per cent. by weight, and prohibiting the use in the manufacture of malt liquors of more than 70 per cent. of the av- craze amount of foods, fruits, food materials and feed used in such manufacture during the one-year period ending on that date.
 After January 1 the proclamation provides no person shall use any food, fruits. food materials or feed in the production of malt liquor unless he secures a license to do so and complies with rules and regu- lations that will hereafter be is sued governing the production of such liquor and it's alcoholic con- tent, and no person shall import any liquor except under license to be issued by the Treasury Depart ment.
 The use of grain for brewing will be cut by the order approximately 90 per cent.
 The proclamation had been held up pending a decision as to wheth- CT the percentage should be based on volume or on weight. It final y was decided to set weight stan dard to protect brewers of ales and stouts, in whose heavier product the alcoholic content runs higher by volume.
 With the alcoholic content meas ured by weight, it is said, there ac- tually will be approximately 3 per cent. of alcohol in beer, figured by volume.
