THE ALUMNI ASSOC Of The Colored High School FRIDAY, MAY FRIDAY, MAY 31, 8.15 P.M. VOL. XXVI. No 35. BY THOMAS M. JOHNSON Staff Correspondent of the Evening Sun With the American Army in France, May 20.—The fine heroism of two Negro soldiers who, although wounded, beat off a raiding party of twenty-five Germans, killing and wounding five of them in a fierce hand to hand fight, offers an auspicious opportunity for announcing that the American Negro troops, many of whom are New Yorkers, are holding the front line trenches in the region of St. Menehoud, west of Verdun. They've been there more than a month and they have acquitted themselves splendidly. Every one, white or black, in New York or anywhere in the United States can justly be proud of them. "The Negro troops have many unique accomplishments to their credit. They've already been over the top in company with the French, entering German trenches under barrage and bringing back three German prisoners, and No Man's Land has no mystery for them or their patrols. They've been all over it and have gone as far as the Boche wire entanglements almost every night. "Why, we are the best patrollers in the whole army," was the way one of them put it to the correspondent of the Evening Sun. "Dem Bush Germans can't see us at night, and we don't need nothing to black up our faces with." COMMANDED BY NEW YORKER Since entering the trenches a month ago they've taken over from the French a long sector which they are now holding. Their commander is a well known former New York official (probably William Hayward, former Public Service Commissioner) and have been visited by at least a dozen French Generals. Petam himself has sent his aide to convey his good wishes. These troops are acting in closest association with the French and practically are a part of the French army. They have been so detailed as part of our contribution in the present crisis. In appearance they are almost indistinguishable from the French Colonials. The difference only becomes apparent when they open their mouths, and then it is quickly seen that they are the same troops as the two The Evening Sun correspondent told of meeting a few days ago. WHAT THE CENSOR DELETED But the heroism of the two Negro soldiers in the fight that occurred on last Thursday night now makes it possible to reveal what theensor then deleted. It should be remarker at the outset that the deeds of these two soldiers were a fine and gallant as any achieved by any American soldiers since they came to France. Their heroism recalls some of the old tales of devotion of Negro troops in the Civil War. The men are Harry Johnson, 23 years old of Monroe street, Albany, and Needham Roberts, son of Tov. Norman J. Roberts of Trenton, N. J. Both have spent much time in New York city. They have been cited for the Croix de Guerre before the French army, which means they will receive the cross with the palm. TEXT OF CITATIONS The citations say that "Johnson, finding himself on sentinel duty at night and being attacked by a group of a dozen Germans, shot from his rifle, seriously wounded two others with a knife and although wounded by revolver bullets and grenades at the beginning of the fight went to the assistance of his wounded comrade, the German continued to fight away, and continued fighting until the Germans were put to flight. He gave a magnificent example of courage and energy. "Roberts, attacked and seriously wounded in the leg by a group of Germans continued to fight mades, although he had fallen to the ground, and until the enemy had been put to flight. A good and brave soldier." STATIONED IN MARSH GRASS Here is the full story of what happened: Johnson and Roberts, with three others, were on duty at 3 o'clock Thursday morning at a small advanced post. The post was on duty of heavy, rank grass. The two men were on patrol while the three others were getting a little sleep in one of the dugouts. About 2 o'clock in the morning, as the investigation later undertaken showed, the pity was on the part of the officers and the bit of unadorned trench to the right of the post and then started to work their way toward the sentries. Johnson heard them as they cut through the barbed wire encircling the post, but Roberts insisted that the noise was made by rats which inflicted at the top of his voice: "Her they come." Fifty yards back of that held by the two Negroes was a larger post, the officers and a flame a wave was sent up from there, which disclosed the dark forms of the Germans breaking through the wire. BOTH WOUNDED BY GRENADES They were secrely fifteen yards away, and as the flare went up the Germans instantly threw hand grenades, which exploded with a crash, wounding both Negroes. Roberts was struck by fragments of the right elbow, forearm and left leg, and on the right hip and left leg. The commotion checked down by the commotion, Roberts was not able to get up on grass. But despite the suddenness of the attack and their wounded condition both of them struggled toward their own grenade supply, and although both were on the ground at that time, threw several of the grenades just as the Booche took hold of them and shot the Booche through the chest with a rifle. A second German leaped over the body of his fallen comrade, and Johnson, using his rifle as a club, brought it down with a crash on his head. He dropped with a groom, but there were more coming his eye one big German throttling the helpless Roberts. Two other Ger- DROPS HIS USELESS RIFLE The infuriated Johnson cast about for another weapon, his rifle having jammed just before he felled the second German, but found that the small supply of grenades at the post had already been empty — even though himself of his "bolo knife" which he had at his belt, and drawing this brought it down with all his strength, driving the razor-edged blade into the German's head. It must have eft his skull, for the blade later showed blood to the hilt, the German's chest when picked up, was found to have been cut almost in half. This ended that German. Another flung himself at Johnson almost before he had time to recover himself after delivering the first blow, but he recovered by jumping his "bolo" against him, also. As he plunged the knife into the German's body the latter gave a cry of anguish and—Johnson and Roberts agree as to this—screamed out in good English, "The son of a got man." By this time Johnson was weak from the loss of blood, and when another German shot him in the right arm with a revolver he fell to the ground. He was vaguely conscious of the threat the revolver with rushing figures, all jumbed together in the darkness, and then his hand fell upon a single grenade that happened to be lying on the ground. He threw this in the direction of the Germans, heard it explode, and then everything became blank so far as he But that grenade literally blew another German to pieces, and there is a big stain on the duckboards outside of the dugout with bits of gray cloth strewn about, to prove its effectiveness. It was Johnson's last effort, and it was enough to put the Germans to flight. They went so fast they barely had time enough to carry off their dead and wounded in the stretchers which, as is their custom in making rinds, they brought with them. But they did not have time to take with them two stretchers, six wire cutters, twenty-four grenades and Continued on Page Four. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMROE, MD. FRIDAY, MAY 24 1918 Red Cross Nurses Marching in the big New York Parade ADMISSION 75, 50, 35, 25c. ARMY WORK ON HOWARD CAMPUS Washington, D. C., May 20.—Amid impressive ceremonies 300 representative young registrants were inducted last Wednesday into the national army as students of technical branches at Howard University. They embraced the quote of the District of Columbia and among them were a number of lawyers, doctors and teachers. Prior to the induction ceremonies a procession passed through the main thoroughfares, in which the 300 student-soldiers, members of the District and draft boards, Acting General D. J. Donoine, the Red Cross auxiliaries of the colored high schools and Howard University, and a large contingent of citizens on foot and in automobiles. The parade was reviewed by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder, who pronounced the aggregation a highly creditable one. School Children View the Procession By permission of the Board of Education the children of the public schools were dismissed from their classes and allowed to witness the spectacle. Many of the young people were in costumes characteristic of the war and most all of them, and their elders as well, carried flags—the stars and stripes and the name of the allies intermingling beautifully. The procession headed by the escorts whose were citizens' clothing, with a band of white on the left arm. They will be uniformed in about two weeks. There was much enthusiasm all along the line of march. The immense crowd arrived at Howard University about noon, having started at the Dunbar High School at First and O streets northwest. Dr. Newman Talks The principal address at Howard University was delivered by Dr. S. M. Newman, president of that institution. The speaker called attention to the fact that the 300 men now entering upon a new work represented the best element of young colored manhood Not one of the number, he declared, could have been included in the list unless he possessed at least the qualification of having graduated from a grammar school, while many of the men had also graduated from high schools and colleges. In said, they must have passed the rigid physical examination necessary for admission to the service; so that each of the noble 300 possessed the double qualification of a trained mind in a perfect body. There is an honor in being chosen as one of such a number and the entire race should appreciate the distinction at its full valuation. Other addresses were delivered by Acting Adjutant General Donovan and Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, of the Board of Education, and the military authorities took charge of the men. Prof. George W. Cook acted as master of ceremonies. Francis Wells, of the Commissioners' Office, headed the committee on arrangements. The men will regain on the campus and will not be permitted to leave except by special order. Their food and lodging will be provided for on the grounds and they will receive the pay of privates in the national army. All of the 300 volunteered and the remainder were drafted through their questionaires, previously submitted and by registration cards. Branches To 190 Taught The course will cover the summer months and will include radio, en- gineering or wireless telegraphy, wood working, electricity, constructing, repairing and operating automobiles, engineering in general and a number of other mechanical and technical branches. When the course of training is completed they are to be assigned to special duty, either with colored units in this country or with the American forces in France. This training school at Howard University is one of a number of similar schools to be opened in various sections of the country for the better equipment of colored men in the technical branches. Provision for their establishment was made through the recommendation of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War. About 4,000 will be enrolled in the next few months, if present plans are carried out. AN NSPE TOR OF SHOES AN INSPECTOR OF SHOES Vineland, N. J., May 23.—Few persons here realize that a coveted man is stationed here as an inspector of shoes for the quartermasters troops of the United States. He is George A. Sheehy, Expert in the shoe inspector. His home is in Jacksonville, Fla., where he was connected with the B. C. Vanderherst Shoe Company, a race concern. He took a civil service examination for the inspectorship some months ago and passed. The War Department finally ratified his selection and he has been stationed here since. Mr. Sheehy is well known in fraternal circles the country over, having served as grand director in the Odd Fellows. He is also connected with everything worth while in Jacksonville. DAY NURSERY RALLY. The campaign to raise funds for the Day Nursery will commence Sunday, June 2nd and continue until the 17th. An effort will be made to secure at least $1500, the amount needed for the immediate necessities of the Nursery. The campaign will open with a sermon to the workers at the Metropolitan M. E. Church by the pastor, Rev. R. W. S. Thomas. Already $40 has been secured for the fund MEDICAL MEN MEET The Annual meeting of the Maryland Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association was held in this city Tuesday and Wednesday of this week Clinics were conducted by Dr. A. M. Curtis and Simeon Carson, of Washington and H. M. Minton, of Philadelphia, whose subscription dinner was given in honor of the visitors on Tuesday and a stag on Wednesday. CONTRIBUTIONS TO RED CROSS The amount of $111.35 was received at the Afore-American office during the past week for the Red Cross fund. Only a few more days remain to complete our city's quota. Drop in and buy a button for $2.00 or a card and button for $5.00. A Red Cross worker will explain. NOW FOR THE FARMERETTES A class of farmerets has been organized which will receive scientific instruction in agriculture. The class will be under the instruction of Prof. Dillard of the Maryland State College of Agriculture and will be held on the old Johns Hopkins Orphanage ground 31st street and Remington avenue. Classes beginning next week will be held Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 to 11 a.m., and 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. M names of those desiring to join should be sent to Mrs. S. C. Fernandis local agent for the Maryland State College. UNION SERVICES AT BETHEL The congregations of Waters, Allen and Trinity A. M. E. Churches and Grace Presbyterian Church held union services at Bethel Church Monday night. The sermon was preached by Dr. J. W. Norris, pastor of Waters. FINDING JOBS FOR SKILLED WORKERS Prominent Wilmington Citizens Creating Opportunities for Workers in Skilled Trades Wilmington, Del., May 22—Prominent colored residents here are working hard to create opportunities for colored workers in the skilled trades. Those behind the movement include: Charles H. Colbourn, for twelve years a member of the Delaware Republican State Central Committee; Dr. John O. Hopkins, member of the City Council; Dr. Conwell Banton, member of the Wilmington Board of Education; Dr. Samuel G. Elbert, James A. Anderson, and Revs. J. U. King, B. T. Moore, Henry Y. Arnett, Edward Colbert, and George A. Fisher. A colored man sought employment as a carpenter in a large establishment here. There was no selection was done to belong to a union. His sponsors replied that this condition could not prevent him from working and, furthermore, that the man is a skilled artisan. He was employed. Another man secured, after some trouble, a position as blacksmith in a large machine shop. These are only two of a number of such instances where opportunities have been opened to skilled colored workers. Political Recognition Council Colored voters have also received recognition on the committee that has been appointed to harmonize conditions among Delaware Republicans, the city of Winnipesaukee and the three counties of the state each having a representative. At first four of the three counties were named to represent the city and the three counties, Charles H. Colbourn put up a big light for the recognition of colored Republicans, with the result that the following representatives were named: John W. Thompson, wilmington; William Saunders, rural New Castle county; J. Akins, Kent county, and Ollie Woolford, Sussex county. A protest also has been made recently against segregating colored people in the local courts. The matter complained of has not yet been remedied, but the belief exists that it will. And thus Mr. Colbourn, Councilman Hopkins, the ministers and others are fighting for the race. Former Maryhunders are among the most substantial citizens here. Charles Colbourn, the Republican State Central, Committeeman, does a large hauling business and Dr. S. G. Elbert, who enjoys a large medical practice, is a native of Kent county, and City Councilman John O. Hopkins, who is a druggest, hails from the Eastern Shore. Rev. J. U. King, pastor of Ezion M. E. Church, received his preliminary education at Princess Anne Academy. Dr. Conwell Banton hails from Philadelphia, but his wife is a native of Baltimore. Her maiden name was Miss Lizzie Davis, and at one time she was one or Baltimore's most popular school teachers. BIG CROWD AT THE ARMORY BIG CROWD AT THE ARMOKY The charity ball at the *4th Regiment, Armory last Monday night for the benefit of Provident Hospital, was attended by over a thousand persons and was most enjoyable because the Citizens' Underground Lady Board of Managers, The Una' Club and Hospital Staff, Music was furnished by two bands. The success of the affair was due largely to the successful advertising campaign waged by Superintendent Harry F. Brown and Messrs. John W. Rich and H. Grafton Brown, president and secretary-treasurer of the Board of Directors of the Hospital. General Says Bulletin Was One of Advice Designed to Prevent Racial Friction Between Soldiers and Civilians Camp Funston, Kunss, May 15.—It transpires that while Major-Gen. C. C. Bailou, of the 92nd Division, was addressing the men under him through Bulletin No. 35, he was at the same time pressing attention to the statistical manager who had discriminated against a sergeant of the Division. The prosecution of the manager of the Wareham Theater for discrimination on account of color, instigated at General Ballou's request, was, after being twice continued, tried in Police Court at Manhattan, Kansas, a few days ago, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant and the imposition of a fine of $10.00 and cost. It is generally assumed that the conviction of the theatrical manager will serve to prevent a repetition of the offense, and will deter other theater owners and managers from making discrimination on account of color. General Ballou followed the same course here as he did at the Officers' Training School at Des Moines, Iowa, last summer; namely: while admonishing his men to refrain from precipitating racial disturbances, to prosecute those who should discriminate against his men. GEN. BALLOU WRITES SCOTT The following letter, addressed to Emnett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, although dated April 22, 1918, has just been made public, since the prosecution and conviction of the offending theater manager. A letter, similar in character has also been written to the Editor of The Crisis, New York. The letter to Mr. Scott follows:— "Headquarters 92nd Division Camp Funston, Kansas April 22, 1918 "Mr. Emmett J. Scott, War Department, Washington, D.C. "My dear Mr. Scott: "I have never thought that I make a brief comment relative to Bulletin No. 55, these Headquarters. There seems to be no good reason why I should not do so. "Here are the preliminary facts: "A soldier of this Division got into trouble with a theater manager at Manhattan and reported it to me at once, and I was accused of being the Division Judge Advocate and was informed by him that the theater manager had violated the law. I then put the case in the hands of the United States Attorney and requested the prosecution of the theater manager. The case was set for trial, and I was accused Bulletin No. 33, which in brief, is counsel to my soldiers to avoid race troubles. This Bulletin was given out to the colored press of the country, accompanied by an entirely misleading letter that not only completely suppressed all mention of any prosecution of the theater manager, but directly and falsely conveyed the impression to editors and readers that I had prejudiced person will. I think, at once see that this was a malicious attempt to stir up race falling by misrepresentation. GOOD ORDER AND MILITARY DISCIPLINE FOUNDATION STORIES "The character of Bulletin No. 35 was that of advice, as already stated. This advice was ordered published to the Division. It had nothing to do with any policy outside of the military establishments. Its purpose prevailed, friction with the attendant prejudice to good order and military discipline. Good order and military discipline are the foundation stones of the military service. They are indispensable. Nothing connected with the service of the colored troops has ever been so threatening to good order and discipline as race troubles have been, and the military have sought to profit by this fact ever since there was a prospect of war. No stone has been left unturned. There have always been foes of our country ready to aggravate the grievances of the colored people on the one hand and to stir up the whites on the other that the East St. Louis atrocities occurred in a city filled largely with German sympathizers. "There is little doubt that the same influence egged on both whites and blacks at Houston. Most troubles have small beginnings. At Houston they grew from the area of colored youths, and the area of reserved whites, and other similar matters. Great wrongs were eventually committed on both sides, culminating in the killing of a score or more of white people and the hanging of thirteen negroes. In the midst of the excitement caused by the East St. Louis and Houston troubles, the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines won golden approbation all over the United States, made a victory over the race and achieved a glorious success. It did all of this by following precisely the advice that was repeated to the 92nd Division in Bulletin No. 35. "By their fruits ye shall know that "Our enemies do not wish the United States to have its military power increased by colored soldiers, and they stand ready to add fuel to every race discord in order to embassiate our countries in this battle if any wonder then, in view of what the enemy has accomplished in the past and is seeking to accomplish again, that the Commander of the colored Division seeks to nil troubles in the bed, and that his defences against his soldiers, urges the soldiers to do their part to keep the peace and promote harmony. "I have shown that my position and action were deliberately and maliciously misrepresented to the colored people by the suppression of the news of the coloration of the manager, and by falsely conveying the impression that I had taken no such action. The entire letter that accompanied Bulletin no. 35 to the press of the colored people was a misrepresentation of my attitude and of the facts in the case, and no fairy tale known, as sated above, can fail to see the work of an enemy—an enemy of our country and an even greater enemy to the colored race. Is the colored race going to "fall" to such schisms? I think not. I think they will contrast the work of the trouble-makers of the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines and of the 92nd Division, and consider thoughtfully the words—"By their fruit ye shall know them." "Sincerely, C. C. BALLOT, Major-General, Commanding 92nd Division." Mrs. Gould to Speak at Bethel Mrs. Gould to Speak at Bethel One of the principal events of the coming week will be the appearance at Bethel A. M. E. Church Thursday night, May 30 of Mrs. Howard Gould, of New York City. This talented woman, of social prestige and unlimited wealth, has had the courage to come out boldly in defense of the civic rights of the race and is completing a lecture tour in which she has advocate ample justice and opportunities for the Negro to develop all his possibilities for good and useful citizenship. Mrs. Gould, in the recent New York elections took the stump in behalf of the candidacy of Rev. Reverdy C. Ransome, who ran in the Harlem District as an independent candidate for Congress. In an interview with one of the New York dailies Mrs. Gould had the following to say in reference to racial covenants: "It is worth remembering that the bogy of racial equality has two sides to it. In my studies of the problem, and I, have lived in the South and know it as only a Southerner can, I have found that there are more white men ready to break down race lines and cohabit with black women than there are black women desirous of living with white men. That is so elementary there can be no excuse for overlooking it." Mrs. Gould is an ardent suffragette and in advocating Dr. Tansome's election to Congress, urged the colored women to exercise their right of suffrage. The appearance of this极less champion for equal rights is eagerly availed by Baltimoreans and a crowd that will pack Bethlehem the doors is expected. There will be no admission. A QUIET WEDDING Miss Genevieve Randall, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Solomon V. Randall, 1932 Mccullough street, was quietly married on Tuesday evening, No. 10008, Northern land, Va., at the patronage of Rev. Harvey Johnson. Will be at home Sunday, May 26, 1918.

May 22—The fact that many colored people have migrated North within the past two years was plainly evident to any observer around Bethel Church last Sunday, where hundreds of persons gathered in and around the church in an effort to get a line on what would be doing at the closing session of the Philadelphia Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. They came from New Jersey, Philadelphia and other parts of Pennsylvania. Delaware and from that part of Maryland near Wilmington. Judging by the expressions of many a goodly sprinkling of the throng had been attracted to live North by the wider industrial opportunities, and the looks of all indicated prosperity. There was the Southern air about many of the greetings between old friends who had hot met for some time, a reminder of the scenes enacted at many a convention below Mason and Dixon's Line. The Philadelphia Conference is the oldest in the denomination, and reports submitted showed that it is keeping price with conditions of the day. About $10,000 was collected for geft denominational needs. A. by the prominent personages at the session were: Dr. W. S. Scarborough, president of Wilberforce University, who stopped over last Saturday from Philadelphia, where he had been attending the convention of the League to Insure Peace Among Nations; Dr. Treverdy C. Ransom, the element editor of the A. M. E. Review; Dr. K. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder; Dr. G. F. Woodson, dean of Payne Theological Seminary; Prof. John R. Hirvikus, financial secretary of the Association, and Dr. Benjamin F. Watson, secretary of Church Extension. That the conference is alive to the problems created by the migration Northward of thousands of colored people of the necessity for not being foothold gained is indicated by a committee appointed by Bishop John Hurst to study the industrial and social needs of the migrants and to otherwise work for their benefit. Rees, R. R. Wright, J. Campbell Beckett, H. H. Cooper, George E. Dickerson, F. T. M. Webster, U. G. Leaper, L. H. Ringgold and W. B. Williams were members of the committee. Bishop John Hurst preached Sunday morning, after the ordination of deacons and olders took place. The next session will be held at West Chester, Pa. Following a semon by his son, Rev. Herman F. Tyre, Sunday night, Bishop Tyre announced the assignments for the ensuing year. There were no changes in the presiding elders, in Philadelphia and in Wilmington. Rev. W. H. Davis, Elijah E. Iyrd, W. B. W. Williams and I. H. Ringold were reappointed presiding elders. Rev. Henry Y. Arnett was returned to Bethel Church, this city. Rev. U. G. Leeper succeeded himself at Allen, Philadelphia; Rev. R. J. Williams, at Bethel, Philadelphia, and Rev. J. Cambell Beckett and J. L. Withers, respectively, were returned to Mt. Pisgah and Union Churches, Philadelphia.

Published every Saturday at the Afro-American Building, 628 North Eutaw Street, Baltimore, Md., by the Afro-American Company of Baltimore City. J. H. Murphy, Manager. "Over Land and Sea," a monthly published in the interest of the Presbyterian Missionary Society asks the question in its current number: "What answer would you make if a little colored boy should ask you as one asked his Virginia mother 'How can I change my skin so I can go to school with white children?' white children? Of course there is only one answer.—One of these days America will be such a decent place to live in, that children in Maryland, Virginia and other offending states will not give the worst schools to colored people and the best schools to the whites. Secretary Lansing wrote a letter to Mr. J. Lewis Butler, messenger in the State Department at Washington, congratulating him on the purchase of $1,150 in United States Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. Mr. Butler has been in the government service for the past thirty years and in this time has never received more than $720 per year. He is a Mary-annized has raised a family of four children. lander and has raised a family of four children. Butler gets the congratulation but ten to one Mrs. Butler deserves the credit. COLONEL MISSISSIPPI COLES "Off again, on again, gone again—Flanagan," represents very well what happened to the 58 officers of the Artillery at Camp Dix, N. J. As stated in last week's paper, it was found that the artillery officers were not catching on to the training at Dix as rapidly as had been expected, so that all were detailed to the special school at Camp Meade. tailed to the special school. As soon as the young officers reached Camp Meade, Col. Coles, who hails from Mississippi marshalled them in line with orders to divest themselves of shoulder straps and other officers' equipment and provide themselves with privates' uniforms, etc. These were young officers Colonel Coles of Mississippi was dealing with, but not inexperienced. The officers knew as Coles should have known, that no one except General Pershing has the right to demote officers of the United States Army. Such a howl was set up that it was heard clear over in the War Department in Washington with the result that Colonel Coles received orders to transfer the artillery officers back to Camp Dix. There they arrived after a four days absence and reestablished themselves in their old quarters. Since Monday things have been quiet with "nothing new to report." The officers in the Artillery section have been feeling for some time that the handling of their careers have been bungled and that it is time some changes were made. Artillery work requires a knowledge of advanced mathematics—geometry, trigo and calculus. The graduates of the camp at Fort DesMoines were put into the Artillery service, it is reported, whether they had this training or not, while some of the men with the required mathematical training applied in vain for assignment into the Artillery corps. And now comes the Colonel Coles affair in the nature of adding fuel to the flames. The riveting record of Knight at the Bethlehem Steel Works at Sparrows Point last week throws into the shade all previous records made up to this time. It would have been fine if the new world's mark bettered the old by 5 or 10 or 20. But this man Knight evidently thought to do the job up brown while he was at it, and at the expiration of nine hours work hung up the new record of 4875, beating the previous score by 553. What does it mean to make a world's rivet-driving record? Ask Knight. However, all the work was not done by him. He had helpers—all of them colored. Each one did his share and the tiniest mistake by any one of them would have reduced the record materially. There is the boy who has been trained for months in heating rivets $ \frac{1}{2} $ to $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ inches long to white heat in a portable furnace. As fast as one becomes hot, he picks it up with tongs and flings it five feet across the way to the "passer up" who catches it in a steel bucket pulls it out with another pair of tongs and passes it to another "holder-up," who thrusts its flaming end thru the holes in the steel plate while the riveter batters down the pointed end with a compressed-air hammer. It takes five minutes to heat a rivet to the proper temperature, but the riveter drives it home in a few seconds. Knight's record could not have been made were it not for the cooperation of his "heater," "passer-up" and "holder-up." Faultless team-work won for this gang the prize of $125 offered by Donald McLeod, 52 Leadenhall street, London, thru the Daily Mail. Chairman Hurley's letter to the colored riveter expresses what everybody thinks: "American shipyard workers believe we have the fastest riveters in the world." The demands upon our pocketbooks are so many and varied that it is interesting to note that we are not leaving our Y. M. C. A. interests out of the question. Since the very successful meeting held at Ford's Theatre a few weeks ago, numbers of persons have called at the "Y" and purchased "bricks." It is to be hoped that there will be no let up until the full amount has been paid in. We have been informed by the Secretary that although the building may be finished and ready for occupancy in the fall the swimming pool cannot be completed until the amount subscribed by the colored people has been paid in full. Hence the urgent necessity of completing our-part as soon as possible. At last an explanation of Bulletin 35 comes before the public in the form of a letter from General Ballou to Assistant to the War Secretary, Emmett J. Scott. The General claims that "his position and action were deliberately and maliciously represented to the colored people." Admitting this to be true, still remains to be explained what was meant by the statement hats made the Division and could BREAK it just as easily. Certainly no misrepresentation could put any construction on this sentence other than its actual meaning. While the General's vigorous defense Bulletin No. 35 will be accepted on its face value, there is still some wonderment on the part of the race as to why such a detailed reference to Bulletin 35 failed to elicit the information most sought just what was mean by "BREAKING" the Division. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS REV. WILLIAM H. WEAVER, D. D., Contributing Editor "HATS OFF TO THOSE WORLD it was only a half nigger, to Ireland's son replied--Ah, you have a RIVERS'R" CHAMPION TITLE The above caption headed an Editorial Comment in a recent edition of the "Baltimore Evening Sun," which spoke most commendably of the feat of Chalera Knight and his crew at Sparrows Point who broke the record of the word most famous experts by driving the 752 vehicles unheard of number of 752 drivers of the jostle which Baltimore took in them because of the evidence which they gave of their patriotism and efficiency, while nearly a thousand white shipbuilders were idle and thus delaying the nation's war work for the pivory one reason that certain back pay had not been paid them, and also of the fact that the "Negroes as a whole show up well in this war," adding the significant statement "it is about time to stop judging a man by his color instead of his worth." The Sun can be very instrumental in speedily bringing about the time when the judging of men by their color instead of their worth is put to an end. The influence of a great newspaper like the Sun cannot be overestimated in creating and forming correct public opinion on all questions and issues. It is also true that the colored people of the country fully appreciate any and all efforts made by it and its other friends to have their conduct viewed in the proper light, and their needs accounted for their real and actual worth. COLORED SOLDIERS AT EFRONT PROVE THE TALOR AND HEROIN In a recent communique of General Pershing made public, a high tribute is paid to the gallant conduct of two colored American privates, by which, while on sentry duty, they repelled a German raiding party and saved port shows that while these two soldiers were on sentry duty they were attacked by a German raiding party which advanced upon them in two groups "attacking at once from front and rear." Both of the men fought bravely, and after a severe hand to hand encounter succeeded in driving the Germans and prevented the capture of any of the men of their sector. This is nothing more than we expect from our colored American soldiers who, like all of their race, are loyal and devoted to their country and its interests and who at all times may be counted upon to defend it in a brave and heroic manner. In every Crises of our Country's history growing out of any stringle with arms the American Colored Man has evidenced his bravery and devotion and given a good account of himself as a Soldier and patriot. The descendants of the colored Americans who in every war of the Republic from that of the civil war proved by their loyalty, devotion and heroism their worth as soldiers and citizens, may be depended upon to evidence the same spirit as their sires, and with increased opportunities for higher and better service to their country, to manifest even greater devotion and fidelity and display more gallantry and heroism. Only give our boys the opportunity to show of what stuff they are made and they will cause the world to look and wonder. If two colored American soldiers by devotion and bravery can turn such a trick as did private Henry Johnson and Private Roberts what man must not expect when we get three to five hundred over there. And surely the martyrs can get that many of us, if she need us. The incident reminds us of the story we have often heard of the reasoning of a Son of Erim on hearing the great Frederick Douglass deliver one of his masterly orations in Rochester, N. Y. as Mr. Douglass in his matchless manner rose to the height of surpassing eloquence—the Son of Erim asked a bystand next to him "Who is that speaking up there?" and the answer he received was that it was only a half nigger, to which Treland's son replied—Ah, you needn't talk like that for if a half nigger can spake like that what would a who mugger do? Just remove a glove, give us a finer and a fair chance, give us discrimination on the color of color in the army—in the Navy—everywhere that men work and do—and such will be the account that we will give of ourselves that none will have cause to blush in extending to us the brother's hand and in sharing with us the brother's part, and our sable skins, no longer a badge of oppression and discontent in this our beloved country will only be a distinguishing mark of men who eloquently oppressed, held back, have nevertheless in spite of all hindrances, come forward and proved themselves patriots and acted the part of men. A HIGHER REWARD THAN GROWTH HACKS THE WAGES EARNED Chas. Knight, who broke the world record last week at the Bethlehem Ship Plant, Sparrows Point, Md., as a riveter, has received the national prize from Chairman Hurley, of the shipbuilding Board. The award of the prize to Knight was made at the request of Lord Northellie, owner of London newspapers, who offered £25 for the best score above previous records. Knight's world's record feat in driving 4,375 rivets in a single day is regarded by Chairman Hurley as setting for American ship builders the high pace so necessary to successfully carry out the shipbuilding throughout the shipbuilding industry, and is an inspiring message to those across the seas "of American determination and ability." The £25 prize is no doubt appreciated for its real worth by Charles Knight, but the complementary letter from Mr. Hurley accompanying the transmitted prize is certainly of such value and importance that the appreciation of it and the sentiments therein expressed must be even greater. No one can be insensitive to such an expression of appreciation and pride for an achievement deemed so notable, influential and inspiring. Such recognition of worth and efficiency not only by the bestowment of prizes, but in terms so commendable and audacious, must be not only gratifying to the recipient, but effective in inducing him and others to at all times do the very best they can, to accomplish the most and secure the best and largest results. The way of excellence is open to all, and many not only enter that way but do exploits, do something more by helping all their energies and putting forth their best efforts. The desire to be mastered must be turned to out work and the most work, in an allotted time, should fire the breast and nerve the arm of every patriotic and loyal citizen, whatever his calling or occupation. Men should recognize that there is a higher reward than the mere daily wages received for work done, for service rendered—namely the reward which comes from the sense of having done one's full duty—one's best—from the sense of having come up to the full measure of one's capabilities, and therefore up to what is truly and properly expected of every conscientious self respecting, honest man. Every man who does his best at all times, regardless of the compensation received for the work done, who does his best because he believes and knows it is his duty to so do—and that the best is what his creator requires of him, and his fellow man expects, will obtain this higher reward in the approval of his own conscience in the approbation and appreciation of his fellows, and in the well done and blessing of his Heavenly Father. If all of us in all our work would strive always to do the best we can because the best in us is required and expected of us, how much more of real joy and sweetness would fill up and crown our lives. OUR PART IN THE WAR OUR PART IN THE WAR That we colored people in America have a part in the world war is not questioned by any one today whatever may have been the thought of some wise folks a year or more ago. And that we ourselves recognize our part, and are doing it is confused by our people, and we are not answering the country's call for what it needs, that we have, and we are giving of what we possess not sparingly or grudgingly—but willingly and cheerfully. We are giving our energies—our money and our sons, and are us willing to give our daughters too, to the tasks that are open to them to win this war for Democracy and liberty. This is true of us because we love our country, because we prize our citizenship in America—we have at heart the weal of the nation, and we are determined, God helping that none shall prove themselves more patriotic, self-sacrificing, gallant, and heroic than we. The United States nation is our nation, all her interests are dear to us. For the preservation and defense of our government, we will fight and if needs be die. We await the summons of our country to arms or to anything else and we are ready to answer and give an account of ourselves. We rejoice in being where and how we may. Let the United States in fact and indeed, draw no color-line in the army nor in the Navy, nor in any field of service or line of work, necessary to win this war and the American colored men and women will be found, ready and willing to enter any and all parts of that service, and in all lines of work; and ready and willing by study and the most thorough preparation to fully qualify themselves to render the best and most efficient service, just as ready and willing to do this as we have been to subscribe to the first, second, and third Liberty Loan Bonds—to the War Saving Stamp Fund, to the first Red Cross Fund and as we are now doing to the second Red Cross War Fund. Our Charley Knight and His Prize Keeching Gang. Courtesy of Baltimore Sun people have joined themselves to every activity that is marked by the split of patriotism, and are everywhere and at all times giving evidence of their whole hearted desire to do their full part in carrying the burdens of this war. We are no shackers, any sense of in any shape of form, the heroism of form, is intensely patriotic and has shown it by his value and heroesm in all the wars of the past in which the country has taken part, is showing it in this present war as well as by doing his part in all patriotic undertakings in civil life. We are American citizens, America's friends, her foes are our foes. We will do our foes to win this war for righteousness and truth, and our best to whin, conquer and overcome her foes. Old Tim's Son Continued from page 7 ant Ward is true blue, clear thru. I am proud of him." "The guest has arrived, mother," said Alice, as she came into the kitchen. "He is here in the kitchen and father is here in the kitchen and does not withstand with himself. Come mother and meet him. He is quite distinguished looking." Mother entered the living room, stood still, and then quietly walked. They put her on the couch, and father would send for the doctor immediately. "No," said Alice, "she has just fainted and will soon be alright." "But she never fainted before in her life," he said, "and you must phone for doctor." Just the mother sighed and opened her eyes. "Silly in me," she said, "to faint like that, but I could not help it. Now come here Lieutenant Timothy Ward Majors and give an account of your illness. Timothy laughingly caught her up in his arms and kissed her, until mother, cried for quarter. Old. Tim, stared. He couldn't believe this was his son. "He was tattered, and larger. Timothy — he was missing — they had never heard of or from him." Mother, laughed, oh, such a happy laugh. "Nevertheless father, this is Tim Jr. What mother would not know her only son. Timothy — he knew him among thousand. He is just exactly like his father when I married him. The cut, kept you from recognizing him, but not a mother." "Why didn't you write Tim? Why did you us in suspense so long?" asked mother. "Little mother, I wanted to write, but father answered my first letter, and said he wanted no more to do with me. I was noticing but trouble to you all, and never would be any body; it was not in me, but that I had been blinded then and could never come home until I had prayed. I was of some account. I was captured in New Mexico in a border raid, and was in a Mexican prison six months before I managed to escape. My time in the army had expired so I determined to go and see wife and son. I got to a law office in a lawyer's office, but I wasn't satisfied. When war was delegated between Germany and France, I went over and enlisted in the French Army. I wrote my wife, whom I had married, when the U.S. sent me a trained soldier to the Fort. I warned her to keep my whereabouts a secret and she did so. She soon followed me and she is serving as a nurse in a French hospital now. I am over here on business for one day. I am not at the Fort. None of my friends recognized me. I wanted to see you, and came to town my first chance. I would not have made myself known, had not mother recognized me, but as it is you must be satisfied with knowing I am still alive and well, I still call you, and I will write to you, but all outsiders, I must be only Lieutenant T. Ward of the French Army." Tim was quite proud of his son and he was satisfied to be nice to tell Edd that Lieutenant Ward was his guest. That was glory enough at present; but he hoped to see the end of the one he could tell folks he had found his son. "Good Bye mother" said the lieutenant at last, "it is a sweet memory I carry back to France with you. I know you will do this, does, give her the welcome you would have given me. She knows all about every one of you, and you'll love her dearly when you meet her. For my sake, mother and father dear. If not for her Old Tim saluted, but mother took his face between her hands and kissed it again and again. "For you and your wife," she cried. And all sadness and grief disappeared from her eyes. "My son that you dead is alive, and I thank God and am happy." PHYCHER—In loving remembrance of Harry G. Fletcher who departed in 1916. Memory is the only thing That grief can call its own.

FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1918. THOMAS—In sad but loving re- membrance of our dear daughter, Laura Virginia Williams, who died one year ago today. May 10, 1917. What is dearest and rarest Is the one that is killed by the frost The love that was purist and fairest Is the one that we have lost. She is blooming in God's garden Among the illies fair; God saw she was too good for earth So transported her up there. In her health she sought the Savior In illness He was by her side. In illness He sent his guarding angel Safely her spirit to heaven to guides. There are many who bear a baugh- ter's name But few who fill the place Not so with our dear Virginia Oh, how we miss her loving face. Rest in peace, daughter, dear One long year has passed away; Thou art gone but not forgotten For we think of you night and day. He devoted parents, Philip A. and Grace E.

I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Macs attended me for some time, and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent the Johnna Hopkins and they worked with 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 else. I went down until I weighed only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try to eat a healthy diet. I went to 1899 N. Cursey 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 examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base.Treatment, and I got better. The better immediately. Thank God the living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several others Dr. Campbell cured of the cancer. I was helping with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. Mrs. Bertha I. Smith.

"Old Tim Majors" as everybody lovingly called him, was a constant visitor at Chance's Restaurant, and he was well known as patrons, as he was by the proprietor. Ed Chance was a few years older than Tim Majors, and both were veterans of the civil war. Majors had served under the confederate flag and old men were past seventy and were great friends, though they quarrelled constantly. Majors who had been a valued house servant had followed his young master to the war and had sided with the South; but Chance, had been a field-hand under a hard, hard surface. The North. He had picked up a smattering of learning and could read very well, and he was a born financier. He had always wanted to be his own boss and after the war he had served as butler for a rich family until he had accumulated a small scale. He was an excellent cook, and genial and his famous cooking soon became known far and wide. It brought him many cut chefs and in a few years he had one a moneyed to run his business. He had to bustle for things and it had made him independent of others, and served him independent of others. But every Decoration Day was a holiday and the restaurant was closed all day. This Decoration Day was to be an exceptional day with all the family and Sergent Chance had not any idea of being left out of things. He was going to march in the parade until he helped to lead the line of marchers and occupying a conspicuous place was his son Ralph Chance, who had been sent home from France, among the injured, but he was strong enough to be among the boys, that would be on hand to represent those still "over there." He had come back a hero. He had been a great friend. Sergent Chance was proud of his boy. He would step more lively, and hold his head higher than ever. Tim Majors had laughed at him and made fun of, of his boy, being only a private. But what did he care, he had won something that not only privates, but captains, lieutenants and all men high in the service, are proud to have bestowed on them. He was not getting better fast. Tim was only jealous because he had no son to be proud of, he could be proud of what his son had done if he would, but Tim was so queer, even though he was likable. He had never forgiven his boy for running away and joining his friends, and teen. A fine likable lad, who soon won the friendship of privates and officers alike. All had loved him dearly and when word came he had been killed in one of the Mexican rulers on the border. Tim never said a word, but he went South to look for him. He was not sure he could home he came empty handed, but he never allowed anyone to say anything to him about it. But what no one knew but Tim was, that he had gone down there and found out that they did not know for sure whether he was dead or not all he could find out was that he had been taken out then discovered how old he really was. He was an old fossil to come prowling down there looking for the told him to his face that "he was fifty years behind the times and would never catch up". He was face the truth. He was plain home sick for a sight of the boy. He dreaded to go back without him and tell the mother who was waiting so patiently at home, that their son, the son she loved so well, was missing and they did not have any idea where to look for him. Then he looked for the last or her boy and he closed his eyes—he knew about this hour his gentle, loving wife would be taking her tea. He could see her slim straight figure, girlish yet in its outlines, her delicate, high bred face as she took her place at the table—he could see her face called "Tour coffee is waiting Tim." Tim felt a choking sensation in his throat, as he theot of the time he had spent looking for their boy. There was no use trying to blink matters, but he was not sure if his mother. If it had not been for her sake, "I would never have come back," he said. "I simply can't stand Ed Chance's talk of his boy. It makes me so sore these days. He is just so tired these Dunn Yankee and stuck up. I don't have a friend I can talk to, not one in all this dunn Yankee hole. I can't tell mother, it would break her heart." He knew he was resubmitted to himself. "She shall always think as she does now. I am not going out tomorrow to see the durn Northerners march in the parade. I'll not join them, damn them, damn you." "What boy?" he so ruminated Old Tim Majors as he sat smoking his beloved pigeon. He would go down to Chance's for a game of checkers. That would clear the cobwebs from his brain. But they would not talk of the war, neither past nor present. They would just checkers. And so having decided Tim left his comfortable home and made for the private room, Ed's where they usually played checkers and quarreled about the war. But then it was soon over and neither was hurt. He played until 10 o'clock and then started for home. He thot of his daughter and her Yankee husband, and wondered if he had misjudged him because he was so thorny a Yankee and no way fixed it did the Yankees appeal to him. Decoration Day dawned clear and bright. The whole city was astir. It had gone over the top in all three Liberty Loan Drives, and last week it had capped the alimax by doubling the Red Cross alum. Susan Sparde as was never witnessed before. Everybody was to take a part. The pace of honor was accorded the Veterans. This was their special day, and the day was to be shared proudly with sons and grandsons, that had so faithfully served in the tenches, somewhere in France, and as soon as they wished to sack the Hun. Heroes everyone of them. Then would come the Red Cross nurses, the Red Cross workers the junior Red Cross, the day schools, the Sunday Schools, the sons of veterans auxiliary, the mothers who contributed sons to the cause, and last but least—because without them, the war would be a failure—the farmers and war garden workers. The graves would get special attention this year. They had been wellended by the loving hands of loved ones, and the grass was greener, the flowers prettier than ever. Then everybody in the parade will carry flowers for the grave of a friend. Flowers, flowers everywhere. Who ever saw such a lovely day. Then at the Court-house would be speaking, by the Congressman, and Senators and Judges, and big men generally—just four minute talks, not delivered by the men who has been "Over the Top" four different times and Sergeant Chance, Ed Chance's boy. "I'm not going to the meeting, I don't want to hear Ed's boy and I'm not going out to see the parade. What I care about either. I will not give Chance to crow about his boy to me." But Tim could not stay in the house. He dressed himself in his gray uniform and strode boldly off down the street. He knew if his wife saw him, she would hang her head in shame, and it would make Ed a mad as a woman. He knew that he was a Southerner. An aristocratic Southern Negro and he was proud of it. He had been a slave, but he was his master's confidante, not an ordinary field hand, and his wife too, was an aristocrat. She had been her mistress' maid. She never associated with common folks. Though since he was a slave, he had herself as to become an intimate friend of Ed Chance's wife. How she could be so free with these Yankees was past him. He and Ed were good friends, but he spoke his mind when the occasion arose and he did not let Ed know his business. He stopped on the corner of Broad and Green, and he carved back from the curb. He knew no one would recognize him in this part of the city and he wanted to wait there to see the Yankees pass. When the veterans came along he would get right out in front, and stand where Ed was. He wanted him to see how fine he was in Gray, and that he was able to represent the South, altho the Yankees would look askance at him. "Might I trouble you sir?" Tim came out of his dreams, and turned to see a man, many years his junior—a man with a sunburned, heavily lined chest and a scabbed arm and the unmistakable unrght carriage of the soldier. He held an unlighted cigar in his fingers, and courteously motioned towards the fiery end of Tim's drooping almessy from his chest. Tim quickly compiled with the stranger's request, and after a few words, the two were deep in conversation. The Major learned that his "Over There" and had taken time to visit his home town. He had been sent to the city, and could not resist the temptation to run over for a short time to the Quaker City. "I have a special reason for coming this trip. It's easy to see, sir," he added smiling, "to you are from the South." Well, yes sir," said Tim, stroking his long hair, "he yes sir, I am, although I can't quite see how you all discovered it quite so soon, sir." The man from "Over There" smiled again very gently. "Oh, well," he said, "it's your general get-up, I ask. You have a Southern gentleman. You have no half-mark of the Northerner, and unless I'm mistaken, your uniform brands you as an old soldier." Tim unconsciously straightened his bent shoulders, and a light leaped into his hand, and he swung under Lee, sir, he said simply. The man from "Over There" looked at him keenly, and a slight shadow flitted across his face, a vogue intangible something, as if a hand had brushed the cobwebs of him from before his eyes. "You served under a brave man, sir," he replied. There was silence between them for a few moments as they watched the crowds passing, and then Tim spoke, "And you are a young soldier, too, sir. I see. Here for long? And you have seen some pretty sharp faces. I have seen the deep scar on the other's forehead. "This saber cut? Yes. I got that Somewhere in France, along with a dozen others. A Hun handed me that, but I got him and a half-a-dozen more. He wasn't quick enough to put me out of business. However the surgeons patched me up and they made a noticeable in a few years from now. Any way I'm as good as new and will soon be ready to return to France. I am serving under a French General, and I have seen lots of our boys "Over There" under Pershing. They are a fine husky lot, I tell you, and we can all be proud of them. I went to France and enlisted at the beginning of the war, and I'm not sorry." Before he bade Tim good-bye he had accepted Tim's invitation to lunch with him at 2 o'clock. The parade was coming. The music heralded its coming—and Tim, the solitary old man, drew near to the curb, where he was sure Ee could see him in forage. For ee forrowing about his son, and for having a son in the parade. He stood forth in his glory; head erect as the veterans passed, and they one and all looked pityingly on the solitary figure as it stood there, among so many, and so much alone. But who is this, that is greeted so enthusiastically as he passes. "Why that's the stranger that was talking to me about a half hour ago. Is he a man of honor, or a villain, or the day. Of course he is, and listen how they cheer him. He was so kind to an old man like me, I must hear him," he mumbled to himself, and without a moment's hesitation he hurried out to the middle of the street and walking faster than he ever had in the past twelve years, he hurried to the side Ed. In his eagerness to overtake his friend, he had forgotten all about his hatred of the Yankees, and never noticed how people stared at the old white-haired Negro, in the confederate uniform. It was at least fifteen minutes before he caught up with the veterans, and took his place on the line the cheering and clapping; could he be heard for blocks. "Kurrah," they yelled, "for the blue and the gray." Tim, never felt prouder in his life. They were cheering him, him and his gray uniform. He was one with them. They had joined forces at last, he and Ed. They were going to visit the silent city, where all their past differences would be held, and would that lined the side walk, had run out and put a bunch of flowers in his hand, and he marched bravely alone, carrying his small parcel of flowers with him. The day was heaven's own child, peaceful and serene. They had reached the silent city, the city that had been the somewhere near the vast silent city the somewhere in the strains of music so softly, down the narrow, quiet nistles. Nature seemed to exhale sympathy and peace. Tim and Ed, hand in hand, stirred and exalted, marched toward a spot marked by a fng, and stooping laid aside the憬blem of love, care and peace. The marched slowly thru aisle after aisle, and joined forces and marched back to the city of life to hear the eulogies of those they had come out to honor. Then he would hear the young man speak, who boasted a sabre that he had succeeded in bringing down its fellows like him that will win the war. He could hardly wait until it would all be over. He was proud to think, that the guest of honor, the guest of this great city, was to be his guest at 2 o'clock; but mother had insisted on lunch today, because she was going with Mrs. Chance to march with the Red Cross unit. She wouldn't see him, and she would know nothing of all these honors, until she met him. He would know that he had marched in the parade in his gray uniform, and to hear how they cheered; and he would reach the climax when he introduced their guest of honor. That would should ask Ed and his wife and son to join them; but he was afraid that would be too many, he would wait another time, he would ask Ed and his family and get his daughter and her husband to come over and bring the whole family must enjoy the honor. Tim arrived home all in in a flurry about 1.30 P. M. and found mother there and Alice and Sam and the children. Alice and mother had set a table fit for a king, but he couldn't wait a second before telling his news. "The speaker, Lieutenant Ward, is to be our guest mother," he said, and he met him in the street and asked him, and he accepted. Will there be enough for us all?" "Such a question, Tim," said mother. Of course there'll be enough. Plenty for all." The ringing of the door-bell put Tim in a flurry. He thought the guest had arrived, but when he got there a messenger boy handed him a long, large box. He signed for it and taking it back to the slitting room, cut it open and hurried to unite it. Opening the box he took up the card that lay on the top and read "To Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Majors from Lieutenant T. Ward." "Look mother, Alice!" he cried; "Oh just look! Did you ever see such roses.
