A. ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 1594 Gov. W DR. J. D. the Editor of the California Eagle:— Permit me to say a word on—ice. The world stands agast at this terrible, causeless war. No one seems it able to give a sufficient reason all this bloodshed and they are it as helpless in hunting a basis an enduring peace for the world. The proud dominant races of the world have lost the key to world race and they are gopping about, added by the glory of their own hatness, and so they can not see Prince of Peace, even though He lies to the earth. Let one of one of shepherd race, keeping watch for his flock, point out the cause of war, and its consequent settlement. some think that the little trouble between Austria and Serbia is the basis of the world's present trouble, but it is not and can not be. The real cause of this war dates back into the history of the races which are involved in this conflict. If the world had its spiritual understanding opened, they could mathematically determine the exact cause the war and its scientific remedy. The races of the earth have inged in human slavery, some have slaved individuals, and others haveolved empires in servitude. Many the nations, yes most of them, have ennied the enslavement of the individual, but still in every possible, after legally granting liberty, allow any one to come along and jeopardize the freedom of the individual, which is the greatest crime the universe. This crime is so eat that it throws the whole unite into disorder. We shall see how this is done further on in this object. Many of the nations adopted the ae of taking away the liberty ofaker nations, and make it a crime any one of that nation to seek free his own people. Now with these ideas holding sway nations are speaking of making world secure for democracy. If world is made as free as their deceptions indicate, there has got to internal changes, more vital than they have dreamed of as yet. They every nation must be free. Do mean that England must cease dominate India and Ireland? Do they mean that our own coun- will actually and really give to individual his full rights and erty? Shall a black man's rights in every sense as sacred as the hits of the white man? Is this at the slogan of the war really ans? Freedom for all, forever, and if it can anything less or different, it is acceptable to God? Is there any way to make the world secure so long human rights are invaded by individuals and nations? But it is my purpose to give the way to the world's present troubles, that we can see the way to peace, its philosophical bases. When any individual is denied human rights during his sojourn upon earth, his legitimate development has been retarded. When his development has been retarded he becomes wholly unfitted for his higher race among the intelligences of theiverse. When when death overtakes this reared soul it finds him so low in the life of being that for a time the spirit "inherit the earth" that he is left in the atmosphere of the world wherein his progress has been retarded. In this atmosphere he remains until the mind has been easily developed, and when the mind is been developed, he manifests itself with all his intelligence so the inhabitants of the earth. The families and races that have ranged them will then have to meet the developed spirits and into the The California Eagle third and fourth generations contend with them. Then in reality the strong compenses to bear the imminities of the weak in the following manner. Twenty million Negro spirits in the unseen world who had been forced by ruthless hands, called on God and asked Him how long would justice and judgment sleep. And their cry was so persistent that all the wronged spirits of the black races began one awful cry to God and the harmony of the Universe was broken and the balance was lost. And the very fact now that the nations are hunting peace, and none have even mentioned the real cause of the trouble, is remarkable. If the stolen Babylonian garment and the golden wedge stopped Israel, it would pay the nations of the earth to realize that God is not dead, and that He is the same today and His helpless children are still dear to his heart. Our nations and all the nations are calling upon the empires that wronged the weaker people to make reparations. Why do they do that, because even among men, this is regarded as just. Well then, shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Will he not call the nations who wronged the poor, helpless sons of Africa to answer for their crime? Who is to make reparation for the twenty millions of murdered Negroes of the Congo? Who is to answer for the thousands of armless and legless men there, who suffered because they did not deliver the rubber to Leopold as rapidly as desired? Can heaven be happy over a free world with Africa bleeding from every wound and no one asked to make reparation? The world can not have permanent peace until God gives it. And God cannot give it until some one makes reparation for the wrongs done to Africa. Wake up, nations of the earth, here is the key and cause of your troubles and as long as you don't give Africa freedom you only want freedom for the whites, if you fail to call the nations to task who have wronged Africa you force God to do so, and He must do so if he is just to all, regardless of race, color or previous connection. REV. J. D. GORDON REV. W. J. BYERS OF SAN JOSE IS DOING GREAT WORK On Sunday, Dec. 15, Rev. Mr. Byers and his trustees broke ground in beginning of building a new church. The new church will be a beautiful structure. Superior Judge P. S. Groshey of San Jose, was the principal speaker on this occasion. Their old church, which it is claimed is the oldest church building in that town, will be used as a Sunday School. Rev. Byers has already raised two-thirds of the cost and has sanguin hopes for the balance. He ended a very successful pastorate in Los Angeles before being transferred to his present post. The indications are that he will be as successful in San Jose as he was in our city. Besides his pastoral duties, he has engaged into the Employment agency business, and is also an ardent worker and earnest supporter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The California Christian Advocate of last week (white) discusses him and his efforts very lengthily. On a recent visit to Los Angeles, in an interview, he said that he was just from a trip to Victorville, where he had installed a brand new pump to drow water for his 160 acre tract, and that his fruit trees were doing splendidly, which had been recently planted, and that altogether he was a very busy man for the present. THE MAYOR OF BOSTON Governor Stephens, whose patriotic course during his incumbency as governor, has received and merited general acclaim, makes the following emphatic reply in detail of the charges that have been made against his administration of the defensive affairs of the State. In reply he says: J. F. Neyland has resorted to misrepresentation, misstatement, and downright falsehood to attack my honor and integrity. "According to Neyland I set out immediately on becoming governor to loot the State Treasury to the extent of $2.050,000 and that it was he alone who prevented this raid. "He has said that the Defense Guard Act was passed to create one thousand jobs, etc., and that he opposed the measure. The facts are that the bill originated in the State Council of Defense by an emergency war measure; that I had absolutely nothing to do with initiating it; that it passed the Senate by a vote of $2 for and other against; that in approving it I issued a statement setting forth that this force would be created only in case of urgent necessity; that I have refused to creat it and that now imminum as we are organizing a new National Guard there can be no need for such a force, and finally, that every penny of the appropriation of $1.000,000 remains intact in the State Treasury. "Another declaration of Neyland is that I attempted to avoid check or audit of the $1.000,000 war emergency fund. This measure also emanated from the Council of Defense then assembled in Sacramento. I made no effort, direct or indirect, to eliminate either check or audit. Of course, such a fund should be audited. I would not undertake to administer such a public fund without the safeguards any sane man would demand. If an auditing provision was not in the original bill it should have been there and I would have had it included had my attention been called to it." "Neylan akks the further charge that I attempted to increase the Secret Service fund to $50,000. The fact is that the State Council of Defense, without any suggestion whatever from me, matters recommendation, as I recall it, that $20,000, not $50,000 should be so aside for such purpose. I did not have sufficient knowledge of the needs for such fund to give my approval or disapproval. That was the last I heard of it until Neylan informed me after the adjournment of the Legislature, that he had reduced the recommendation of the Council of Defense to $10,000. "These and other matters pertaining to the Council of Defense will be definite and authoritatively answered as soon as a comprehensive and complete statement can be prepared. It will not be in the nature of a reply to Neylan, but in the way of an accounting to the people of California, to whom I and the entire State government will at all times be accountable soiling as I am Governor. "Neylan's tirade in connection with the so-called Sheriff Hammel claims which were before the last Legislature is grossly contrary to fact. "When I became Governor I was unfamiliar with the back history of the Board of Control controversy with Sheriff Hammel. Shortly after my unannuation Sheriff Hammel protested against what he said was an effort to deny payment of two valid claims which he had against the State for services rendered an connection with the transportation of prisoners and to cover certain court costs. My assurance to him was that I would have the matter looked and that if an injustice was being done, it would be corrected." "Inquiry shows three facts, first that the Appellate and Supreme Courts had declared the claims valid, second that the theory had been included in the budget to the Legislature and third, that bill covering the claims had been introduced by Senator W. J. Carr at the request of Mr. Neylan himself. I could not at the time understand the reason for the opposition that Sheriff Hammel complained of. I called Mr. Neylan to my office for a conference. It developed that the Board of Control had previously improved claims of Sheriff Hammel for transporting prisoners and hospital inmates in the amount of some $2000, and after payment it was recovered that these claims were fraudulent. The Board of Control subsequently withheld numerous claims of Sheriff Hammel acting $2199.26 as an offset against the claims which were alleged to have been fraudulent, but which had been paid from the State Treasury. The matter was carried to the courts and Neylan appeared as one of the attorneys for the State. The Appellate Court held that the admitted legitimate claims could not be withheld as an offset against the other. The Supreme Court sustained the decision. The result was that a peremptory writ of mandate was issued to the board of Control. When I took the matter up with Neylan he was manifestly filled with bitterness over the claims. He had failed to discover the alleged crookedness before the original bills were paid and the court had upset him in his contents. He was impatient of any discussion. The question in my mind was whether or not the Legislative branch of the government ought to respect the decision of the Court's. What had in mind was that the Legislature should make an appropriation to pay the bills and that some judicial procell should be instituted to withhold the money as an offset against the original claims. It what a wolly a difference of method that I suggested. I did not know whether such a course was feasible. "Neylan, in his impatience, said he would rather resign from any other course than that which he had pursued. I told him that his own course of action was not under criticism and that the circumstances did not justify any hint of resignation. "Neylan has absolutely no foundation for his accusation that I tried to force payment of or compel him into abandon his opposition to illegal claims: "I next had a conference with Senator Chandler and Assemblyman Wright, chairman, respectively, of the Finance Committees of the Legislature. Senator Chandler, who had had many years of experience in the Legislature, said that the Legislature could feel absolutely free to disregard the judgment of the court. I accepted his view and thereupon asked him and Assemblyman Wright to see to it that the correct thing was done as regards these claims of Sheriff Hammer. I said specifically that I wanted the right thing done, that while I had known Sheriff Hammer for twenty-five years, I did not want any claims of his paid unless they should be paid, and as well, that if they ought to be paid I hoped the Legislature would see that they were paid. The morning after the Senate Committee hearing Senator Chandler sent word to me that the Committee was opposed to the payment of the claims, and I sent back the message that I would disapprove of any further effort in behalf of these bills and the matter ended there. "Why Neylan should have taken this outrageous contest against me is to be political, by his loyalties of self-advertisement and a personal political intuitivity." Unflinchingly A few months ago a new year, fresh from the divine storehouse was given us. That year is gone, its footprints have been made, its life has been spent, its history has been written. The question comes to us all, "What have we done? Have we a record that is bright and inspiring? Can we point with pride to the deeds inscribed upon our banner? Can we sing again the same old songs, can we walk again the same old paths, can we repose again in the same old hammocks, and can we say to our fellowmen, 'Come with us and we will do thee good?'" There, whether we think it or not, is a precious possession. It is full of meaning and fraught with great possibilities. To the shrub a year means a leaf. To the vine a year means a cluster. To the tree a year means a tree of wood. To a man a year means that a great portion of his life has gone. A period in which he may have built a foundation able to withstand the sterny blasts of the future or constructed a sandy bar on which he now supplies for his life. It means that lessons may have been learned, acted done, or service rendered that will make your life and character a force of beauty, power and strength, for a channelin which flows the nauseating stream of weakness, ruin and failure. It means that you may have made a career or damned a soul. 1918 has turned a fresh page on the book on life. New opportunities are given us. Many hours have been wasted, many privileges trampled upon, but a new day and hour have come. It is yours, it is mine to sing a new song and chant a sublimer melody. You can win if you want to, you can succeed if you will. What is written you shall write, what is spoken you shall speak, what is done you shall do. Walk not as fools, but as wise. "The world is at odds. Great tennants are being made. Urgent calls are heard. Let us rally around Uncle Sam and help to whip the Kaiser. "Waste not thy time in grief for work "Waste-not thy time in grief for work unlone. Nor let regrets thy passing day en- gage: Thou must not bring again in the year that's gone. But God hath given thee another REV. B. C. ROBESON. page. THE WOODMAN ADMINISTRATION The Woodman administration is now more than six months old. It has had an opportunity to show good watch in respect to its promises and the promises made for it during its campaign. It is well that the people take note from time to time of the manner and to what extent these promises are kept. We want to know therefore, we enquire Mr. Woodman, his supporters and sponsors: 1. If there has been illegal discrimination in the Fire Department in the appointment of Colored men from the eligible list (the City Council has so declared); why does not the Woodman administration NOW give tardy justice to these men so unfairly and unlawfully dealt with? 2. When Mayor Woodman used the Negro influence to pass his Censorship Ordinance (he had been more than two months trying) why did he not stop the exhibition of the picture, "Fee and Equal"? 3. When there was rumors of trouble that the Negroes were about to be attacked; why did Chief of Police Butler forbid the sale of fire arms to Negroes ONLY? 4. Does not Chief Butler know that such an order will compel Negroes to arm themselves before trouble arises? 5. If we are to rely upon Police Protection; why is a mob of Negro-baiting soldiers and sailors allowed tor age unrestrained through four blocks on Broadway (the heart of the city) beating up unofficed Colored citizens? 6. Were any of this mob arrested? 7. Has Mayor Woodman "made good?" 8. ARE WE IN THE HANDS OF THE PHILIPSTINES? NUMBER 48 FRENCH DEMOCRACY GRATES ON THE SOUTHERNERS Americans Surprised at French Treatment of Colored Soldiers ment of Colored Soldiers The Independent, a local white weekdy, published the following article in its issue of November 13, contrasting the Southerner's idea of democracy with what obtains in France. The French have one idea of democracy and Americans another, the result of which is confusing and embarrassing to American while soldiers who are now in France to help carry on the war for democracy. Democracy in France, where democracy had its birth knows now color line. What this means to American troops is brought out in a letter received by Miss Mary Gurley of this city this week, from a soldier friend now with the colors in France. The soldier boy says: "It certainly gets a Southerner's goat to see how the aces mix up on this side. It isn't an unusual sight to see a big black Negro walking down the street with his arms around a pretty white girl and then to see him reach over and kiss her regardless of who may be looking. This is a regular thing in the concert halls and cabarets. It is getting to be quite a problem with the Y. M. C. A. in Bordeaux. They have a reading room and restaurant which is open to all soldiers. The nigger soldiers are about to take possession of the place and the Y. M. C. A. officials don't know how to go about drawing the color line. The American girls that are running the restaurant are refusing to wait on the niggers and the Association is getting right up against it. Of course, this will be worse when the American "nigger" soldiers and white Southern soldiers get together over here. "The French people seem to have a very high regard for a 'niger' and they intermingle right along. The La Touraine, which left Bordeaux last Sunday carried over 75 officers who are to train the American troops at the cantonments; trench warfare. One of these officers is carrying a 'nigger' along with him. Understand he has been assigned to some camp in Texas. His social position out there will be about deuce high." Denver Star. The tea that was to have been held at the Sojourner Truth Home, Sunday afternoon, Jan. 13th, by the club women, has been postponed on account of the big demonstration meeting in Pasadena. L.

Very soon the inventory on the stock in things political will be ready for the inspection of the people, then who will be able to stand? We have wondered whatever organization prevailed on the City Council to pass that ordinance why it failed to stop the play. "Free and Equal." It is now apparent to the most of us that in the future nothing can be gained on your color, and whatever you get you must get out and hustle for. The opportunities for the colored population who seek contentment and wealth are opening as never before, lant it is in the soil and in the mountains. Agricultural and the mineral products are the problem solutions which have been proven beyond peradventure by practical demonstration. The year starts out under the most favorable auspices for the colored people along the line of business efforss, and with reasonable support from the people there is no reason why they should not prosper. The man who brings things about cannot be discouraged and therefore, the silly twaddle of those who are actuated by envy and malice falls like wheat from the chaff. HAS RENDERED SIGNAL SERVICE On next Sunday at the First M. E. Church of Pasadena will be held a remarkable meeting, a testimonial of the high regard in which the Rev. W. E. Kinchen is held in this community, a meeting which will cause him to know that alter all the labor which he has rendered to this community is appreciated to the utmost, and that he will go into his new field of labor with a renewed zeal to even do greater things for the betterment of humanity. Rev. Kinchen's record as a pastor in this section has been clean cut, and shall ever stand as a signal credit to the clergy which has served this community: always alive to every movement which spelled progress, he stopped his cars to the call of retreat and his every movement was a forward one for a higher citizenship and for real progress. Therefore in giving him this testimonial by the people of this community regardless of race or of denomination, the people do honor to themselves, for they should appreciate to the utmost the signal service rendered unselfishly at all times for the highest ideal of citizenship and the uplift of humanity. The Eagle desires to join the many friends of Dr. Kinchen in this fitting service. We are in the rich and fertile Vineyard Valley at this writing, and as we look about us on all sides and see the great opportunities there are in store for some of our people if they will only accept them. There are some there who have grasped the opportunity of tilling this land, but not the number that should; they have rather stood aside and seen the Hindu, with his rays on his head come into this valley and take up these lands and, year after year, receive fabulous sums for their crops. The Hindus are now the farmers of the Imperial Valley. The Sons of Ham, like Sambo, have slept in this valley—the alien has come forth and is reaping the harvest. On down through the mighty Imperial Valley and crossing at Calexico, the Chinese and the Japanese are the farmers de luxe of the Valley. They are actually making so much money they know not how to dispose of it—$3000 to $5,000 limousines are a common commodity with them. Of course there are a few exceptions, and colored men who have tried have invariably made a success—so much so, that one of their number is known through the Valley as the "Cotton King." In personal touch with the situation as we are, seeing with our own eyes the incidents related, we have no hesitation in saying to the man who is willing to till the soil that in this Valley lies his opportunity. THE FORCEFUL AND INSPIRING PASTOR OF THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENT CHURCH OF CHRIST The pages of religious history of this section would indeed be incomplete should it fail to record the accomplishment and the great work of the Rev. N. P. Greggs, pastor and founder of the People's Independent Church of this city, by force of a strong Christian personality and the God given power to convey his message he is ranked as one of the great preachers of this country, and in the short period of less than three years has been the leader of the flock which has organized and built one of the largest churches in this city. Rev. Greggs and his estimable companion are indeed strong factors in the religious growth of this city. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE THE NEW YORK TIMES REV. J. LOGAN CRAW REV. AND MRS. J. LOGAN CRAW The above is an excellent likeness of the genial Rev. J. Logan Craw and his wife, Mrs. Lillian Craw, who have, during their residence in this city accomplished so much for the religious growth of this city. Rev. Craw, as pastor of the First A.-M. E. church, has shattered all previous records for both its spiritual and physical upbuilding and has demonstrated his worth and ability to serve any church in the connection. Mrs. Craw has been a practical demonstration of the sphere of woman in church activities and has endeared herself to all who know her as one who unselfishly devotes her life to the cause of humanity.

Phillips, Malickson and Herman Pressman, two wealthy white capitalists, through the efforts of Mr. A. W. Milton, tendered the Hospital Unit No. 3, U. S. N. R. of Los Angeles, Cal., a banquet and dinner-dance on Christmas night at the magnificent residence of Mr. J. A. Howard, 526 So. Eleventh street, the leading caterer of the Quaker City. Covers were laid for 25 guests, composing many prominent citizens of Philadelphia, and this sumptuous dinner was, undoubtedly, one of the most unique occasions ever participated in by the boys. The menu, consisting of the many fancies in keeping with the season and custom of the "City of Brotherly Love." Snapper tila Terrapin Roast Turkey Cranberry Sauce Mashed Potatoes Poors Creamed Hornbill Rasp. Rolla ..... California Punch Rasp. Rolls California Punch Lettuce - French Dressing Mince Pie Ice Cream Candies Fruit Raisins Cigars Demi Tasse Cigarettes Mrs. S. W. Layton and Mrs. J. A. Howard acted as hostesses; Mr. W. P. Henry, instructor at Purham City public school, acted as toastmaster. Remarks were made in appreciation of the unit by Attorney J. C. Asbury, City Solicitor's office; Mr. Chris. J. Perry, editor of the Philadelphia Tribune; Miss Madelaine Layton, Travelers' Aid Agent at Broad street station, and others. Messrs. Wmf. T. Curtis, Floyd G. Snelson, Jr., Frank Garnet Alue McDowell, members of the Unit, were called upon to speak in rebuttal. Mr. A. W. Milton, who has been the mentor of the boys and taken full charge of their welfare and entertainment while in the city, with the valuable assistance of Mrs. S. W. Layen, were responsible for the success of the affair, and the boys are wordless in expression of their appreciation. Many other guests were present who came later to the dance, and a delightful time was spent. PRETTY HOUSE PARTY. Miss Edith Williams, 239 N. 38th street, entertained in honor of the Hospital Unit last Wednesday. A dainty feast was greatly enjoyed by the boys. A large number of the younger social set were present and a huge evening was spent. Mr. Jesse Walker received a huge Xmas box containing fruit, cake, candies, tobacco, nuts, raisins, etc., from Bullock's Dept. Store, where he was formerly employed. Most of the boys are disappointed in not receiving a box from the L. A. Yuletide Committee. Several of the white members of the Unit have received one, but only one colored. The mail rush is hoped to be the only reason. Misses Ida B. and Nera C. Davis, 5153 Asper street, W. Phila., were charming hostesses last Thursday evening at a house party at their beautiful residence. The affair was one of extraordinary revelry and beauty. Only about eight of the boys were able to be present as they had been out so much at night. The Misses Davis are recent graduates of the Penn High School for Girls, and the affair was well attended by the splendid young ladies as well. Miss Hortensia Pinkard and her cousin, Miss Marie Turnbull of 1532 Garrett street entertained Saturday evening. It was an admirable affair, gotten up at short notice. A delightful midnight luncheon was greatly enjoyed. Friday evening the Chauffeurs' Club of Phila, entertained with a holiday dance at the Waltz Dream Academy, and the boys of the Hospital Unit were invited as guests of honor. Complimentary tickets were given all members of the Unit for themselves and compauy. Miss Cordelia Payne, 151 So. 19th street, had as dinner guest Sunday Mr. F. G. Snelson, Jr. The weather changed suddenly cold Saturday and Sunday. Members of the Unit never before experienced such temperatures—4 deg. and 8 deg. above zero, which is beyond the imagination of the L. A. reader. People are freezing to death all over Philadelphia and great suffering is resulting from the severe cold. The writer of this column wishes to impress upon the Los Angeles public the fact that a letter from home is almost eternal bliss to a soldier. Some of the boys have been away from home for three weeks and haven't received a dose from mother, sister, brother or anybody, and are undergoing undue anxiety in these dreary times of being away from home. Had it not been for the good people of Philadelphia, who have entirely monopolized our every spare moment of liberty, it would have been decidedly uncomfortable. Out of the 30,000 men in camp at League Island it can be safely said we have had more entertainment in our behalf than any other contingent. Hospital Unit No. 2 of San Francisco is here and has been very unfortunate—in quarantine for ten days, and released only four days, and now back in the same state—due to disease. They are to be pitied in their days of confinement. Not boasting in the least, the men of our Unit have not been deprived of liberty one evening after 5 p. m., nor a single Sunday hour holiday. Several "S. D. S." calls have hit Los Angeles for com, thus far, from the boys; coin is very necessary. The meals here are so distasteful at times that one is almost compelled to go to a restaurant, and the severe weather has made comfortable sleeping a luxury—all due to the terrible congestion of men. Miss Evelyn Delany, formerly of Los Angeles, entertained with a dance for the Hospital Unit, at the Recreation Center in Germantown last Thursday, where she is a teacher. The Citizen's Republicn. Club of Philadelphia held their annual smoker last Saturday at the home of Mr. Ben. Robertson in Germantown, and the Hospital Unit was invited; but very few were able to be present. It was a very elaborate affair indeed. Have you forgotten where the Assembly is located? They meet every Monday night. The Merrymakers club met with Mrs. Madge Kelly of Newton street on Wednesday p.m. and had an enjoyable time. Mrs. Chas Thomas Kuykendall of Topeka, Kan., sister of the Misses Baker of this city had an addition of a baby girl to the family Jan. 2. Mrs. Louise Walsh of the West Side will entertain Saturday night with an informal dance. Mr. Aderson of Philadelphia is in our city. The many friends of Dr Tarleton will be pleased as well as surprised to hear of his marriage to Miss Hettie White, formerly of Denver, Dec. 21. Miss Alma Brown, public stenographer in Atty Darden's office, has just taken out her license as a notary public. Come out to the Assembly, East Adams and Central, and have a good time every Monday evening. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN PROF. C. A.

Dear Friends: — There is a "grand and glorious feeling" which swells my chest and makes me appear more like a soldier than usual when I know, as I now know, since receiving so many Christmas, remembrances from home, which show that I am not forgotten by those who know me in the beautiful city of Los Angeles. The words, "I thank you," or "I appreciate your kindness," seem flat and inadequate to express my heartfelt gratitude. To everyone who sent me a card, or anything, I shall, as time permits, send a personal letter or card; but, for fear that some one may think me ungrateful in my tardiness, I am taking this means of expression. And let me say right here that postal cards of California scenery, and especially of Southern California scenes from a friend at home, are a source of joy and inspiration to me, and I believe that this is true of all Los Angeles boys away from home in camps or in France. If you wish to help us, if your heart goes out in sympathy and appreciation for us, about the only way we have of knowing it is for you to put it in writing and do your "bit" by sending the message of cheer to us. Or, if you do not care, to go to the trouble of writing, just send a prayer over here or "over there," and it will help and be appreciated, though unknown. Do not be disappointed if we do not answer immediately; consider it not that your words of encouragement and cheer are ignored or lost; nor consider it a conscious, overt act of disfavor from the head and heart, but rather a weakness of human nature, and a retardation of thought, which is a natural result of the activity of men engaged in military affairs, and a lack of time for reflection and composition. We are in this game for the advancement of our race, for the perpetuation of a government which is dedicated to the proposition that all men are free and equal; for the establishment of national and international law and order and Eternal Peace, and that Reason and the Will of God might prevail. Again I thank you one and all for both the invisible and tangible gifts, and for the invisible and intangible gifts of kind thoughts and prayers. Do your bit, as we do our bit, and the Almighty, who is behind the whole upheaval, will bring about the proper result. Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne; Yet that scaffold sways the future, And behind the dim unknown Stardeth God within the shadow- Keeping watch above His own.

The best way to save is to start a savings account and deposit a certain proportion of your salary every pay day. You can save if you want to hard enough. This habit persisted in will develop character, give you added self respect and a standing in your community, and provide funds to meet opportunities or misfortunes. "Do it now".

He has been asked to return and repeat at an early date and has agreed to do so. Attorney Macbech spoke in San Joaquin Valley. He delivered the Emancipation address at Fowler and reviewed the history of the Negro from the days of Gortez down to the present, and asked for for the Negro only a 'man's chance' for them. And if the State Department will only recognize the Negro's right value, from general down, he will not only bring home the bacon, but will bring the Kaiser home. Atty Macbeth is easily the Booker T. Washington in L. A. county, and if his own race would hold up his hand as they should, he would open many doors that are now closed. Mrs. G. P. Isaac, formerly of this city, but now of Monrovia, entertained Tuesday evening in honor of her son, Mr. G. A. Jackson of Calpatria, Cal. Walter Knott is dead of heart failure. He came to this city from Atlanta, Ga., 20 years ago, and for a number of years drove a cab here. He was born near Griffin, Ga., and was a son of Dr. Knott. He leaves two sons, Oscar and Benny, the latter of whom is now at Tuskegee. His age was 63 years. Dr. H. D. Prowd, pastor of the 2d Baptist church, preached the funeral cermon.

Lewis 949 Birch St. Main 3958 THE FIRST INTEREST INSTALLMENT On December 15, the first installment of interest on the two billion dollars of the first issue of Liberty Loan Bonds became due. The amount approximated $35,000,000, being $1.75 interest on every one hundred dollars of bonds. Holders of coupon bonds obtain their interest money from any bank or post office in the country by simply presenting their coupons. Holders of registered bonds are sent checks for their interest by the Treasury. Hereafter every six months ten to fifteen million American citizens are to receive interest money on their Liberty Loan Bonds from the United States Government. This is going to create a closer and more direct association of these citizens with their Government and the effect of this association is going to be of great value to these citizens and of great value to the Nation in making them more personally interested in their Government and more active and alert in the exercise of their duties and rights as citizens. Every Liberty Bond holder is going to be an active champion of wise and economic legislation and administration. The Liberty Loan is not only a great financial transaction; it is a great national force, a great national bond between the bondholders and their country, a great influence for better government and better citizenship.

M. E. Church. The first week of the meetings has passed and the gracious out-pouring of the spirit of God can be seen. All of us are happy that there is real union between the church people of Pasadena. All ready souls are being saved and the churches are being strengthened. All of the ministers have agreed to lay down everything for this revival and no one dare break this agreement. Scott Chapel has had several additions in the past week and the work presents a hopeful situation. The time draws near which saddens both the heart of Pastor Kinchen and his good people when he will be transferred to the Louisiana Conference and thus sever his relations with one of the most loyal people he has ever served. He will most likely bid farewell to his friends in California Monday or Tuesday, January 21 and 22. Sunday afternoon the John Hall Jubilee Singer assisted by a chorus of fifty voices will render a musical program at the First Methodist church. Mr. J. B.
