Warmest Of Greetings
When Old Friends Meet

The Lambs club of New York has
turned itself into a temporary home
for wounded soldiers back from the
front. These men are given all the
privileges of actual membership, and
strange sights are often witnessed
in that care free institution. Bayard
WELLER, the dramatist, relates this
incident:
Il was sitting in the lobby one
day talking with a captain of ma
rines invaded home after a touch
of pneumonia. He had been tell .

by what the captain said about him

Finally they Gained down bit and
went away into a corner, where
they sat, each with his arm around

ALLIGATOR STEAKS
FOR FAMILY TABLE
CKansas City starr


We are accustomed to think of the
crocodile as distinctively an Old World
reptile. associating it in our minds with
the banks of the Nile and with the
Ganges. But true crocodiles, as well as
alligators, are found in Florida; and in
tropical America there are several
species of crocodiles, exceedingly
abundant
Prof. A NJ. Reese of the University
of West Virginia suggests that these
saurians might furnish a large supply
of excellent meat, if means were pro-
vided whereby their flesh could be
preserved near where they were killed.
Caymans-huge aquatic lizards re-
lated to alligators and crocodiles-are
very numerous in the rivers of tropical
South America, where the native name
for them is ''yacare." Their flesh is
esteemed a great delicacy, and, put
up in tins under the trade designation
of canned yacare, might find ready
sale in this country.
Professor Reese says that he ha.
eaten alligator meat, and has found i
most palatable. Alligator steak he re.
commends highly, arguing that there
is no just ground for the prejudice
against the flesh of this reptile, which
is white and as attractive as pork
Packed in cans, it ought to prove pop
ular as an article of diet.

other cities, is nothing else but the
work of this same propaganda, as
these parties will go to any extreme
to accomplish their aim. We all
know how easy a task it is to dis
guise as negro while others of the
set are the very leaders of mobs,
which will lynch perhaps one or more
! innocent negro men. All resulting in
a general riot with death and de-
| truction to the whole community.
/ Do you or any other really believe
| that negro there in the face OF
mobs and U. S. militia would attempt
a second attack on a woman as thai
| Omaha case was? No. Then yor
readily see and l hope the thinking
white and black alike can see tha'
the negro is being used and is thu
victim of a fight of one class of white
against another.
Through all this l can say that tn,
negro, if given proper protection ant
an equal chance to live, will be fount
as he already has proven even unde
present conditions, to be the trues
American.

He Only Wants Peace

Dear Editor:
After reading several very COM
mendable editorials in your paper
concerning the negro and his worth
as a citizen, | will say l am truly glad
to know that such a spirit exists.
The truth is the negro prefers peace
TO all else and he works to no other
end; yet when forced to. he naturally,
as any other, tries to protect himself.
In your last article you mentioned
the work Of the l. w. w, going so
far as to place in the hands of the
negro papers and pictures describing
lynching and other ugly wrongs
against him. This is done with the
hope of making trouble which they
think will end with the negro join
