JUDGE TERRELL RENAMED JUSTICE Is The Only Republican Justice in the District of Columbia—Serving Fifth Term. Washington, April 25.—Judge Robert H. Terrell is receiving congratulations for just having been confirmed by the Senate as a justice of the Municipal Court for the fifth successive time. Save the late James L. Curtis, United States Minister to Liberia, he is the only colored man named for a presidential appointment who has been confirmed during President Wilson's administration. The beginning of the United States administration Adam N. Petterson of Oklahoma, was named for the position of Register of the Treasurer, but Southern Democrats raised such a big howl then an Indian was given the appointment. Judge Terrell was first named by President Roosevelt in 1902. Four years later Colonel Roosevelt reappointed him and President Taft also remanded him. When his third term expired it looked doubtful if a Democratic administration would continue him. Lawyers of the District bar, regardless of politics, urged that he be continued in office, and the Attorney General fell in line with them. After his name was sent to the Senate it looked for a time as if his nomination would not be confirmed. The late Bishop Alexander Walters and other influential men urged his death and he was finally confirmed. The Judge is the senior in service on the municipal bench and is fair and able handling of Migation coming before him to be made him very popular with lawyers and Itigants. Judge Terrell is a native of Virginia. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1884 and later from the law department of Howard University. During Harrison's administration he held an important position. He was principal of the old M Street High School when first appointed judge. The Judge is a lecturer in the law school of Howard University and popular as a speaker. He is the husband of Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the noted lecturer. His father was the late Harrison Terrell, a trusted employee of the late President Grant. Campaign Being Waged To Secure $100,000 For Institution. A campaign was launched Monday to raise $100,000 for St. Elizabeth's Home, Chestnut Hill avenue. The institution is run by the Franciscan Sisters. It is in dire need of funders, and no forthcoming, 300 minutes have to be turned loose on Baltimoreans. The campaign has the endorsement of Cardinal Gibbons, Mayor Preston, Frank A. Furst, Jacob Epstein, Judge T. J. C. Williams, of the Juvenile Department. There are about 200 workers, all white, and reports are being made at a daily luncheon at the Emerson Hotel. St. Elizabeth's Home is the outgrowth of a work started by a poor woman in the central part of the city to look after homeless wafes. The Catholic church took up the work, and St. Elizabeth's Home is the result. For 36 years it was located on St. Paul street, vacating its modern home there recently in order to be more accessible. It now located in the northern suburbs. Collections will be taken in all local Catholic Churches this Sunday. FOR SOLDIERS' WELFARE Washington, April 25.—As the result of a generous appropriation made at the annual meeting of the financial board of the A. M. B. Guild healt hall, Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination, will visit various army cantonments to look after the welfare of the men. Wherever possible co-operation will be made with the C. A. C. Co. historians will be assigned and the social and religious welfare of thousands of draftees looked after. Professor Hawkins is enthusiastic over the work, and says that the A. M. B. Guild has something than looking after the thousands of men who are going to help crush Germany. "POP" MITCHELL DEAD "Top" Mitchell, the best known and probably the oldest Odd Fellow in Philadelphia, died this week. He was more than 50 years old. DRAFT DRIVE BEGINS Washington, April 25.—Colored as well as white draftsmen will soon begin to move toward the various cantonments, taking the places of those who have been sent elsewhere. According to report, a large number of colored soldiers have been recently sent away from various camps. The number includes men from the 251st Field Artillery and the 368th Infantry both stationed at Camp Meade. There will be 2,600 colored men sent to Camp Meade, Md., within the next JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL DEATH CLAIMS WELL-KNOWN MAN Phil Waters, Prominent West Virginia Politician, Falls to His Death From 3rd Story Window. Charleston, W. Va., April 23.—Succeeding to injuries received when he fell from a third story window of his apartments to the sidewalk below, Saturday night, Phil Waters, age 47, for 15 years assistant clerk of the Supreme Court of Appellies, died last night at a local hospital. Philip Henry Waters, born at Leesburg, Va., August 22, 1870, was the best known man of his race in West Virginia and one of the best known in the country. He held public positions continuously since his arrival in 1867. Prior to that time he had served as librarian of the house of delegates. He was a graduate of the University of Michigan, from which he received the degree of bachelor of laws in 1895. He was also a graduate of Morgan College and, previously a student at Howard. Waters was the first notary public of color to be appointed in the state and was several times clerk of the committee on finance and taxation on one of the other sides of the legislature. He was active in politics from boyhood, and attended, always in an official capacity, every Republican National Convention since that in 1892. He had attended his party since the state convention of his party since that year, spending reading clerk, in which, presumably, he had few equals. He circle of acquaintances and friends was unusually large. From these, colored as well as white all over the country, telegrams of condolence are pouring into the city to the bereaved family, the immediate members of which are the widow, daughter, father, mother and two brothers. 'Y' Service Flag Prof. Hawkins Makes Address at Y. M. The prominent part that the Negro is playing in the present world war was portrayed by Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. Church, in an address at Grace Presbyterian Church, where the Y. M. C. a held a service flag celebration Sunday. Prof. Hawkins spoke of the 100,000 colored men who are in the national army; of the fine showing made by the more than 700 colored officers trained at Fort St. James, another elite soldier, that the women are doing for the soldiers, and told of the love of country evidenced by the colored people through their subscriptions to Liberty Bonds and the War Savings Stamps. "The American Negro is as patriotic as any other element of the population" he said dramatically, "and is not only contented with testifying against broad but wants to see the same embrace 12,000,000 Americans of African descent." He ended by praising the Y. M. C. A. men and those from other institutions who have gone to the defense of their country. The speaker was introduced by Dr. R. E. Biscoe delivered the address presenting the flag and Walter S. Emerson, the one receiving it. MAY SUCCEED KEALING Former Marylanders in line for Presidency of Western University Kansas City; Mo. April 26—Revs. W. H. Peck and F. Jesse Peck, brothers and former Marylanders, are being urged for the presidency of Western University at Quindaro, and one of them seems reasonably sure of landing the position. The presidency has been vacant since the ceed of Dr. Hightower T. Kealing. Rev. William H. Peck is pastor of an African Methodist Church in St. Louis and was educated at the old M Street High School, Washington; Lincoln and Wilberforce Universities. The other brother lives in Topeka, Kan He was educated at Storer and Oberlin Colleges. CHICAGO NOW HAS 2 NEGRO ALDERMEN CHICAGO NOW HAS 2 NEGRO ALDERMEN Chicago, April 25.—Chicago is the only city in the country that hosts of having two colored members of its Board of Aldermen. The men of Louis H. Anderson and Maj. John Robert with representing the old second card. Ten years ago colored Republican leaders were insisting that some colored man be nominated for Board of Alderman. White Republican leaders opposed them, former County Commissioner Oscar DePrist. DePrist is said to have colored alderman with the whites, and voted defeated a white Republican candidate when the bosses refused to name some colored man. Oscar DePrist was nominated and elected when the next election came off. He is said to have been one in a compact made between white and colored Republican that the Second Alderman had one white and one colored alderman. Things were getting along swimmingly until DePriest was indicted for alleged connection with graft and the running of gambling houses. He was nominated for fellowship, but the punishment that he would not seek rejection. Assistant Corporation Attorney Louis B. Anderson was nominated and elected. DePriest was tried and acquitted on two counts in the indictment. He will be tried in a week or two on other counts. At the recent aldermanic election he ran as an independent Republican candidate against the former member of the State Legislature. The far fewer thick and fast between the rival candidates, but Jackson won out with a substantial majority in a three-cornered contest. He was nominated by DePriest received a flattering vote, the vote in the "black belt" having been largely increased by people moving from the South within the past three years. He appealed to the newcomers on a sort of vindication plat- Congressman Madden, who has defended the Negro in season and out, came on to urge the Jackson candidacy. The story is now going the rounds that DePriest and some of his colleagues, Ed H. Morris, national grand master of the Odd Fellows, toon the Republican nomination for Congress in place of Congressman Madden. This does not please some of the Republicans, but DePriest before his indictment, however. They claim that it would be bad politics to turn down a real friend of the race because he is white and send a man to Congress just because he is colored. Morris is an independent and DePriest before the State Legislature. The indications are that should Morris decide to run against Madden that the DePriest followers will be able to line up a goodly number of the recent additions to the State Legislature not being well informed as to actual political conditions here. Company. Sustaining the view of Judge Terrell of the Municipal Court that it is within his discretion to deny mileage to witnesses when bought in large numbers from some distance to swell the costs of a proceeding in that tribunal and to discourage litigation by poor people. Justice Hitz of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has denied a writ of mandamus sought by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The corporation asked the court to compel Judge Terrell not only to allow fees to a number of witnesses from New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but to assess against the plaintiff, who had dropped his suit when confronted with so many witnesses, the mileage allotment for the witnesses brought by the company to prove its case. Judge Terrell in declining to allow mileage hold that it is within the discretion of the court, and that having exercised his discretion the higher court could not compel him to assess the mileage. Justice Hitz upholds this contention and dismissed the proceeding against the Municipal Court judge, with costs against the railroad company. BALLOU ORDER STILL OPPOSED Washington, April 25.—Protests continue to come to the War Department against the recent order of Maj. Gen. Ballou, commanding the 92nd division, in which colored troopers are advised to stay away from places of public resort where whites objected, even though such opposition is a violation of civil rights laws. The National Association for the Abolition of Colored People, the Board of Church Extension and the Financial Department of A. M. E. Church are among the bodies that have registered disapproval. The order is said to have been resented at various cantonments, and the report comes from Camp Upton, Yaphank, N. Y., that it was torn down. --- I SERGEANT LANDIN, Drum Major of 368th Inf. Band. Even General Kuhn has to bow to Sergeant Landin when it comes to popularity. He was the "best bet" in the parade here a few Saturdays ago and since then he has been kept busy filling engagements: The Sergeant will be at the Old Fifth Regiment Armory with the 368th Band Saturday. Society Turns Out To Hear Clef Club From every viewpoint, the annual appearance of the Clet Club at the Lyric Theatre last Tuesday night, was a success. About fifteen hundred persons were in attendance and the long and varied program was immensely enjoyed. About thirty artists, representing the best musical talent in New York, composed the orchestra, and the program was varied enough to pulse the most fastidious, going all the way from grand opera to the very 'intestest production' of the jazz man's brain. Frederick M. Bryan was the conductor. One of the features of the performance was the singing of "He Draws No Color-Line" by Dexon Johnson, manager of the Club. This is a real war song and is dedicated to James Reese Europe, a former leader of the orchestra who is now somewhere in France, "Happy Roane," a clever entertainer, put across several good bits of comedy and got the big audience with him when he said: "Women, women, we can't live without you—or with you." He also sang several songs and did a few dance steps a la Bert Williams. A duet by Mr. Felix Wier, violin and Mr. H. L. Jeter, cello, was one of the artistic features of the evening. Following the rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, the floor was cleared and the orchestra furnished a dance program that kept the big Lyric floor crowded until it was long past time to go home.

He pictured the heroic deeds of French and English Negro troops, and asserted that the American Negro would not shirk one bit when he began to fight the Germans from French soil. He declared that the war should bring about an amelioration of the Negro's condition, coming as a reward for the valiant services rendered by the race. Dr. Lucens made a decided hit in his address. Mr. Cobb, in a well received address emphasized the part that the race is playing. Miss Cummings Cochard that women would aid greatly in bringing victory to the Allies. Fred R. Moore, who was very house, could only speak briefly. Dr. Cabinis spoke in an optimistic veil. Special music was rendered during the evening.

FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1918 ME AND POP Bryce McAdgo's judgment, only once has deserves election in 1920, namely, a audience in Houston, Texas, gather the Secretary of the Treasury on the occasion wildly at these words. As the question naturally arises, can any Houston, Texas, it will not be sure and allow his name to be used for not Washington's refusal to serve the precedent which has been strict. In spite of this the Democrats have campaign cry cannot be "He kept you may be 'Don't change horses in the already some congressmen have natural elections of any kind until Democratic Party may go on with it assumed, and in order that there might be carrying on of the war. Fifteen sitting may be all over, so that the Democrats in power for a third term improve to be crossing a stream too and people have nothing to gain fromelson or in elevating his son-in-lane blood, but they are of the same race. In Secretary McAdoo's judgment, only one man in the United States deserves election in 1920, namely Woodrow Wilson. An audience in Houston, Texas, gathered to hear an address of the Secretary of the Treasury on Liberty Bonds, arose and cheered wildly at these words. Aside from the fact that the question naturally arises, can any good thing come out of Houston, Texas, it will not be surprising if Mr. Wilson should allow his name to be used for nomination for a third term. Washington's refusal to serve more than two terms set the precedent which has been strictly adhered to until this time. In spite of this the Democrats may nominate Wilson. In 1920 the campaign cry cannot be "he kept us out of war" instead it may be "Don't change horses in the middle of the stream." Already some congressmen have suggested that there be no natural elections of any kind until after the war, so that the Democratic Party may go on with the obligations that it has assumed, and in order that there might be no interruption in the carrying on of the war. Fifteen months from now the fighting may be all over, so that the discussion of keeping the Democrats in power for a third term for patriotic reasons will prove to be crossing a stream too soon. At all events colored people have nothing to gain from re-electing Woodrow Wilson or in elevating his son-in-law. They are not of the same blood, but they are of the same family in more ways than one. LOYD GEORGE ON IRELAND reasons for the immediate establishment in Ireland, before the Government, since, the Prime Minister of England, it week, "When the young men of Ireland in large numbers into the firing, they should feel they are not fighting principle abroad, which is denied to live." In some critics, not Irish and not spoken under which Ireland labors, we must fight now while England is at a question of self government and a One of these writers recalled the third Negroes. When they were asked Lincoln said:—"If they must stake it be prompted by the strongest man freedom, and the promise, being no Irish replied they are not Negroes. France is bleeding, England is sending pound, and America is straining; and this also is true____the thing for the same thing for which Serbia and others are fighting. It is unreasonable to compel Irishmen to fight until Irish is good enough to compel another to realize this as well as the Irish, and Irish revolution unless they were Irish. Ireland is taking advantage of the allied point of view this is Irish point of view it is at least so of Lloyd George shows itself in the human's side of the question. Giving his reasons for the immediate establishment of self government in Ireland, before the Government Conscription is put into force, the Prime Minister of England, Lloyd George remarked last week, "When the young men of Ireland have been brought in large numbers into the firing line, it is important that they should feel they are not fighting to establish ought and principle abroad, which is denied to the land in which they live." There are some critics, not Irish and not suffering under the oppression under which Ireland labors, who think that Ireland ought to fight now while England is in dire straits, and leave the question of self government and rights until after the war. One of these writers recalled the attitude of Lincoln toward Negroes. When they were asked to fight in the civil war, Lincoln said:—"If they must stake their lives for us, they must be prompted by the strongest motive, even the promise of freedom, and the promise, being made, must be kept." To this the Irish replied they are not Negroes. Belgium is in slavery, France is bleeding, England is sending her last man and her last pound, and America is straining: all these things are true, but this also is true____the thing for which Ireland is fighting is the same thing for which Serbia and Montenegro and the others are fighting. It is unreasonable—they conclude—to compel Irishmen to fight until Irish freedom is offered. No man is good enough to compel another to fight for him—the English realize this as well as the Irish, and they would not risk an Irish revolution unless they were pushed to the limit for men. Ireland is taking advantage of England's extremity. From the allied point of view this is not patriotic; but from the Irish point of view it is at least sensible, and the matersmanship of Lloyd George shows itself in the fact that he sees the Irishman's side of the question.

This does not speak well for the city and counties of the State. There should be no lagging at this time. Our State must not lose her place in the foreground of the patriotic States which are so liberally responding to the call. Every one who has not subscribed should do so at once, that the full quota of the State be raised and our good name for doing our full part be preserved. Our people should feel that they have their part to do in this, and we urge all to the discharge of the patriotic duty of every loyal citizen to subscribe at once. Bonds are for sale at the Afro-American. We are hoping that many subscriptions will follow the urgent appeal of the Liberty Loan Committee. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, has introduced a bill providing for Jim Crow Cars in the District of Columbia. It was referred to the District Committee, where it will die a natural death in due course of time. Tillman himself does not expect to see it become a law, but yet something must be done in these critical war times to keep its cracker constituency in a good humor. This news of the introduction of Tillman's measure will tickle them more than an American story over the Germans. Down at Camp Meade, orders are orders. Recruits may not feel like marching rapidly early in the morning before the kinks are out of their muscles, but they must attempt it anyhow. Private Robert Smith, Company H, of the 368th is meditating over these things while serving three months for failure to march double quick at the order of his company commander. That the Catholic clergy are taking the lead in the Irish resistance to conscription is indicated by the press dispatch of last Sunday to the effect, that in every parish the priest recited and the congregation repeated line by line a pledge to resist the English government. This is effective unity. Congratulations are in order to Judge Robert H. Terrell, Municipal Judge of the District of Columbia, who enters his fifth consecutive term this week. His long service of more than sixteen years bespeaks his worth as a jurist and everyone who knows him is aware that the honors are richly deserved. While presiding over a conference recently, Bishop J. Albert Johnson is reported to have given thanks that he was not a newspaper man. Thus the good bishop helps to equalize things, for there are some newspaper men who often give thanks that they are not bishops. ```markdown ``` Perhaps no order since the beginning of the war has caused as much adverse comment as the order of Major General Bailou, in which colored officers and drafted men were told to stay away from places where they are not wanted, even if by so doing they waive their legal rights. The colored prisoners, not criticised the without gloves and have petitioned the War Department to recruit the order. The following press comments give only a faint idea of the feeling aroused by General Bailou's famous "Bulletin No. 35." GEN. BALLOUS IMPUDENCE (The Louisville News.) If the General issue that order as a type of white man who thinks the black man ought to keep in his place, and then defines that place as the lowest in the social state, then his order is pure impidence, and he is utterly out of place in a commanding position fighting for democracy. If it was so-called friendship which urges expediency and the policy of surrender, then we hope his valor is greater than his wisdom. HIGH ARMY OFFICER IS PREJUDICED Bystander (Des Moines, Ia. What does the civilized wolf think of our democracy is General Euball's document represents the true idea of our democracy. We are indeed surprised at such a statement, and yet not surprised if it came from General Euball alone, for we have heard to our utter disgust similar statements from other officers. The officer's training camp at Des Moines. We do not yet believe that each orders come from Washington, nor do they have the approval of the Secretary of War. Light is right and wrong is wrong in all circumstances and it is never policy at any time to try to crush out right and to enthrone wrong in place. BE REMITT TO AVOID TROUBLE Denver (Colo.) Star In the world's greatest war the colored American citizen is true as steel to the country. Anything that can be done to further cement the already tightening ring of loyalty, devotion and self-sacrifice the Negro is willing to pay the price and do it honorably and promptly. But no American citizen nor officer, white or black should be denied the right to full world democracy, equality and justice to give up more than any other officer or citizen, because of some race prejudice, class discrimination policy of any superior officer. REMOVE BALLOO, MR. PRESIDENT New York, News. In behalf of an insulted, outraged race of twelve万 million patriotic American citizens, we ask President Wilson to remove Major-General Ballou of the Ninety-second Army Division. We also ask President Wilson as Commander-in-fief of the United States Army and Navy to record forthwith his repressive Bulletin 35. Nothing short of this we tell him and the American people friendly, will suffice to appease their wrath and indignation. No half-way measures will do. The black citizens of this country are inherently and constitutionally equal citizens in this country. President Wilson must forthwith tell the American people and the world whether the Constitution or General Ballou is right. He must tell the American public and the world the truth of the black patriotism to forth-to and die for democracy in Europe, as to whether this now Dred Scott decision shall stand. He must tell the world as to whether or not he is going to send these humbled black patriots—the flower of the race's youth—of America into the fight for civilization at this critical hour dispatched and disconcerted. He must make this fateful decision now as to whether he shall send these thousands of black soldiers to fight for freedom "over there" but to submit to serfdom "over here." PROF.

A widow, Mrs. Bescilla Smith, three brothers, Thomas, Charles and Sidney are among the surviving relatives. [ From the report of James Jenkins Jr., Executive Secretary of the Maryland Association for the prevention and relief of Tuberculosis. The last figures of the Department of Health show 229 deaths per year from tuberculosis, a preventable disease. These figures are far too high, and should be and can be lowered. There should be more facilities both in the City of Baltimore and throughout the State for the care of advanced cases and every town or at least every Department of Health District should have a visiting nurse, and there should be, and we hope there soon will be, adequate care for the tuberculous Negro. There should be throughout the city and state more adequate supervision of the health of the school children. If Baltimore is like other large cities in the United States and in Germany, France and England, there must be in the public schools thousands of anaemic children who would be improved in health by being taught in the open air, and given such extra feeding as seems best. Would it not be acting in the spirit of the age of co-operation to have an association of tuberculosis clinics, including both city and private clinics? The next Legislative move in Maryland should be to provide for forcible removal of tuberculosis patients who are proved to be a menace to their surroundings and their forebite detection until they are no longer a source of infection to their families and the community at large.

Light Occupations at Camp Meade FASHING TO THE MACHINE BIT WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS REV. WILLIAM H. WEAVER, D. D., Contributing Editor The caption above forms a part of the head lines written over a letter written to the Editor of the Sun under date Baltimore, April 19, 1918. The letter seems to have been called forth by what the writer saw of the great soldiers of Camp McGee, April 6, 1918, and what he heard or read of President Wilson's speech made the evening of that same day. The letter starts out with the statement that "Through the mists of a Nobula suspended in the firmament an approaching planet is seen that has all the conditions essential for the happy existence of a race waiting to people it." commensulate reward for his part in winning the victory for which we are now fighting and which we firmly believe will in due time come as a result of our efforts. No we will not people the promised land—the planet of the writer's text. We prefer to stay here and work out our destiny on this soil which we have watered with our tears and surmised with God. We have helped to make it what it is, and we are bound to it by all the ties that bind men to fatherland and home. The white man's avarice brought our forefathers here, against their will, and we Negroes of today if we know our own minds, are determined that the white man's antipathy will never cause us to cross the Atlantic or any other ocean against our will. We are here in America in the providence of God and by the act of man, and here to stay and it is too late for any man to discuss our right to be here, and too early to anticipate our destiny. We are not giving ourselves any jobs being made about what species are to live, and what is coming to us out of the war, but we are using all the means within our reach to help win the war for righteousness and truth, trusting in God that as truth and righteousness prevail all men shall come into their own. JUDGE R. H. TERRELL It is most pleasing and gratifying to know that the United States Senate has reconfirmed the President's appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell to the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. Judge Terrell entered upon his fifth term in Municipal Court of the District on Thursday, April 25, 1915. He was first appointed by President Theodore Roosevelt, and then successively by President Wm. Howard Taft and twice by President Woodrow Wilson. This of itself speaks in highest terms of Judge Terrell's high and worthy character, and of his especial particular and peculiar ability and fitness for the high and honorable office which he has so eminently filled for twenty years, and which he is so acceptably and efficiently filling today. A man of broad education and highest attainments of judicial mind and temper, his knowledge of the law with the other marked qualities of true manhood which he possesses, and the lofty ideals which he has ever before him, he could but win for himself and deserves no less available place than that which he now occupies. Without being a politician Judge Terrell has thrust his public career identified himself with everything that has been for his race's betrayment and uplift, rendering personal service wherever and whenever he could. He is such a man whom the race should delight to honor, realizing that in him we have not only a conspicuous figure but also a worthy theologian and respected of men, and to whom we may point to with pride as a leader to be trusted and a friend to love. Judge Terrell's reappointment by the President is a recognition of his ability, fitness, efficiency and character and an honor to the race of which he is a most distinguished representative. elements and properties of matter The Recent 101st Annual Session The Baltimore, A. M. K. Conference The one hundred and first annual session of the Baltimore Conference of the A. M. E. Church—which closed with the reading of appointments at Allen A. M. E. Church last Sunday night was one of the great importance and deep interest. The Conference which was presided over by Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the Second Episcopal District, who was assisted by visiting elders, was among whom Evans L. George of the First District; Bishop L. J. Coppin of the Fourth District and Bishop L. N. Ross, of West Africa, was attended by a number of the general officers of the church. The reports from the members of the Conference were most gratifying, and evidenced cause to PRESENTATION OF SERVICE FLAG TO THE Y. M. C. A. The meeting of the Druid Hill Avenue Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association held at the Grace Presbyterian Church last Sunday afternoon was most interesting and impressive. A Service Flag with thirty stars indicating the number of the members of the Branch who have answered the Country's call and entered the service to light in the cause of Democracy was presented and received in timely addresses by Attorney Briscoe and Mr. Walter S. Emmerson. The dedicatory address by Prof. John R. Hawkins, of Washington, D. C., Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, was most patriotic, eloquent and thrilling. Professor Hawkins gave in a very practical and convincing manner, the reasons why the Country was taking part in the world's concern and the duty of every patriotic war, and the very Citizen and lover of the Country to do everything possible to help win this struggle for liberty and freedom against the combined efforts of autocracy and tyranny. He emphasized the importance of our people doing their full part in the conflict so fiercely that we have been able to escape from the attempted oppression of all by Germany. In order that we may have the stronger claim upon all loyers of freedom and equality for their sympathy and cooperation in the struggle which we must make from the World Democracy and liberty is won, to secure the full emancipation of our people, here in America, from race prejudice, discriminations and other injustices, and the acknowledgment of all our manhood rights and privileges, and the proper protection in exercise and enjoyment of the time. All who heard the most nominable address of Prof. Hawkins, must have been not only convinced by the egency of his arguments but thrilled by the courage incidents he had faced in his life. He presented, and inspired by his noble sentiments and lofty ideas to willingly sacrifice their best if not their all, to help win a victory and triumph over the oppressive world over the Democracy for which America claims she is now fighting, and especially to secure to our people here in America that same kind of Tolerance in which we are asked to fight and sacrificing to give to others. If we do our part, and there is no question but that we will, there must come to us as well as to others all the same. We are fighting and sacrificing principles involved in America's part in this world war may and will bring.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. "Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and I was able to help the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere, and only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 136 N. Carry street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He was sick, and I helped him. He put me on the Lung Bone Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1817, I weighed and tip the scale at 96 lbs. He was sick in my life. I know several others Dr. Campbell cured of the same trouble, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. Mrs. Bertha I. Smith.

DO ANGEL SPIRITS GUIDE: AND HELP US? ```markdown ``` Bir William Brushwau Cooper the famous scientist, says they do, here is what he says "The man who denies 'spiritualism' on the part of the spiritual body is capable of playing in our active, living daily life because it remains unseen and is so far as he knows, impenderable, intangible, and unfree is in the position of his skeptical prototype who a hundred years ago, decided the power of steam because its potentialities were hindered and undeveloped. Steam is a mighty power today. What is wanted here, is a broad open mind that is prepared to recognize the truth. The last century has revealed so many marvels, discoveries and inventions and has strewn the world with; many strange and wondrous devices, along has come to the foremost the spiritual unfoldment. As a matter of fact, the scripture team with spiritual manifestations as to leave no doubt of communications between spirits and living people on earth. Scientists found that, Egypt, Assyri, Eubaiyah, Persia, India, and other countries have experienced manifestations through their prophets, seers and wise men. Not figuring Eastern countries where those professing the Occult science are very numerous, for the reason that Eastern people have never lost touch with the spiritual science and are therefore, perhaps, more highly spiritually evolved than brethren in Western States. It is I find computed that considerably over twenty million of men and women in the civilized world are spiritualists. Many of them have wonderful chivalry powers and constantly communicate with angels and spirits who have passed to the beautiful life above the grave. In England, such names as Alfred Russel Wallace, Sir William Crooks, M. A. Oxon, Drs. Hodgson Myers, Gurney, Sidgwick Sir Oliver Lodge, and many others illustrious in the annals of modern times testify to the truth of spiritual science. France sends a powerful contingent in such men as Dr. Paul Gliber, Allen Kardec, Prof. Charles Richelet, Col. DeRoches, Victorien Sardow, Theophile Gautier, Victor Hugo, Camile Flammarion, and many other famous people having investigated spiritualism generously give their testimony to the truth. July, the United States, Belgium, Switzerland, Romania, and other countries have not fallen behind in their testimony for we find eminent names inscribed on the roll of spiritualism too numerous to mention in this short article. There are millions of people who profess their faith in spiritualism, they implicitly believe in this wonder-compelling, energy-moving, animating vitalizing force; and this secret power they worship is the SPIRIT OF GOD.

April 25—Revs. J. H. Fitchott and M. W. Waters have been returned to ninety Bethel A. M. E. and John Wesley M. E. Churches for another year as pastors. Those who attained last week were Mesdames A. E. B. Fitchett, A. M. Bailey, C. B. Casson, Florence Harvey and Misses A. G. Scott, E. T. Taylor and Mary Taylor. Revs. G. W. B. and C. W. Boston filled the last Sunday's Bethel A. M. E. Church on at night. Rev. and Mrs. E. A. Schoeney of Eastville, Va., are visitors to Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Boston. The commencement exercises of the Kennard High School will be held at Bethel A. Church on next Friday afternoon and on next Saturday. Kennard Choneye Institute will deliver the educational address. Prof. J. F. Walker is principal of the school and Miss Jackson, supervisor. Miss Lulu Dunne, supervisor. Miss Meagan Willick of measles. Also Miss Fannie Willick. Mr. W. W. Horner has returned from Chester, Pa. and has opened a first class ice cream parlor where he will be invited to see his many friends. Mr. Samuel Tucker, who has been spend the winter at Chester, Fa. is at home. Western daily papers and take four popular magazines and I have never seen one line about the Negro soldier over there, and in all my talk I have never heard anyone say that he was over there fighting." I told her the one thing that we lacked was a press reporter in France or anywhere over there and when one of our boys succeeded in doing something to be proud of, he was spoken of as an American soldier in World War II. He had the promise of knowing whether he was black, white, only those who were near to him and he could write to once in awhile. But with it all we are true Afro-American citizens and are nobby doing our part in spite of handicaps. Not all of us can send a son or brother or husband or lover to the front, hiding a sorrowing heart bobin a smiling face as we say "Good-bye—God bless you." It takes the brawl sort of brave women to do that, you know, and beside so great a sacrifice all others seem small, indeed. We that can't do that and have not the chance to make such a great sacrifice should do all that we can aree deem nothing that we can do too hard, and nothing we can give too much. I am knitting, doing Red Cross work and working with other organizations every spare moment I have. Of course you are, and such work we must not allow to lag, we must keep at it steadily. But there are other considerations—many of them. Take the food question, what have you really deprived yourself of in the way of food or entertainment. What have we gone without that we have been accustomed? A big question you say, yes but here is a bigger one. What are we ready and willing to do without now, or so long as the necessity exists? There are lots of women who have gone whole heart and soul into the work, serving without compensation and giving the best that is in them in whatever way they can and striving to inspire other women to service; I am not talking of these women but of the woman who is tired of hearing the sentence "Do your bit," the homemaking, and homeloving woman, who may be glad to do her bit, but who has not yet perhaps felt the burden that is pressing so hard upon the majority of the women at large and the world in general. There remains the duty of arousing those who are not alive to the need of the hour and their own responsibility, and a word in season is often most effective. When the war is over we shall have learned the lessons of thrift, economy and efficiency. Our armies in France are looking to us to furnish them the supplies they need that will make the victory possible. We must not fail them. We can buy Liberty Bonds or if not able to buy bonds then buy Thrift Stamps? As an investment there is nothing that will give better or safer returns than Liberty Bonds or Thrift Stamps. An obligation to the U. S. Government is the safest thing in the world today. So don't get tired when you hear some one preaching "Do your bit"—but do it willingly and cheerfully always keeping in mind what is depending upon your help. FAIRFIELD. Fairfield, Md., April 25.—Rev.

"The results of underfeeding or indiscriminate food substitution in childhood are startlingly shown abroad as a result of the war, and are beginning to be evident in our own great cities." And "milk has no substitute in the diet of the child." These and other unqualified statements of the importance of guarding the milk supply to prevent the physical deterioration of American children during the war are scattered through the latest report issued by the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor and entitled "Milk, the Indispensable Food for Children." This report, with its striking figures showing a decrease in the amount of milk now available and in the amount which is finding its way to the children in poor homes, has special interest in connection with the campaign to save 100,000 babies and little children during the second year of the war. It not only emphasizes the fact that children who are deprived of milk can not thrive properly, but it analyzes the changes in the production and export of diary products during the war and shows the necessity of action. "The punishment of our children is the first duty of the Nation. Since milk and milk products are a vital necessity for children, for nursing mothers, and for the sick and wounded, the public should be made to realize that the children's need for diary products should be assured." England and Italy have regulated the sale of cream and curtailed the use of butter, in order that their child population might receive the more adequate and economical nourishment offered by whole milk. Germany early in the war, provided that the adult civilian population might have milk only after the needs of children, mothers, invalids, and the army were met. The report discusses the various forms in which cows milk may be used for children. For the young baby, it says, there is nothing so good as milk. "Never before in the history of civilization has it been so urgent a matter that every child should have breast milk for as long a time as possible, in order that every child that survives birth may have the best chance for life and health." But, for children under two other than those fed, and for older children, the report states that cows milk is an absolute necessity if disease and dent are to be kept within bounds and if the coming generation is to survive and to sustain the national standards. "Children first" should be part of the national food slogan. "It is the duty now of every individual community to see that its children have milk of good quality and in sufficient amount to assure their normal development. To do this the price of milk must be controlled or fixed, and the milk supply to infants and children must be adequate. The milk nutrition of our children was, even before 1914, a serious national problem and one demanding urgent attention. Poverty and ignorance of dietary essentials have been ever-present factors in the malnutrition of the young, and war conditions can not fail to increase the gravity of the situation and the difficulties of maintaining the health of the Nation."

In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Soeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing it to soften, thicken, of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scap unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstore or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you, from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinadda, mentioning the name of this paper. — Adri Old Hats Look Like New After They Are Done Un. Suits, and Overcoats.
