Enthusiastic For Reverdy C. Ransom Message ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE PICO 28 OLUME 31 EVEDY C. RANSOME TO APPEAR AT THE TRINITY AUDITORIUM Under Auspices of Y. M. C. A. Enthusiastic Meeting of Committee and Supporters of This Institution The thoroughly representative meetings of citizens who have been meded as a committee to make the edy C. Ransome meeting a gigan-success, met at the Y. M. C. A.oms, Ninth and Hennock, on last Wednesday evening. The meeting as called to order by Captain Crum- of the Y. M. C. A., and the work organizing for the success of Dr. ransome's appearance was taken up, the appointment of the various and necessary committees, among which committee on music, also a committee on publicity and reception. Oneing which augurs the success of this undertaking is the fact that all the people seemed to gather the inspiration and are willing to work together for its success. Ransome Is a Stem-Winder Without the necessity of disparaging any other great orator of the race, the editor of this paper will say that Ransome is a stem-winder and will deliver the goods to the satisfaction of the people, perhaps more so than any which we have had the opportunity to hear in these parts. He speaks right out. No trimming or fitting corners with him. He speaks conditions as they are and names the remedy. We have had the honor of bringing Mr. Ransome to a date at the farthest western point in which he has appeared, viz. at Topeka, Kans., in 1865, at which time he appeared for the far-famed Kansas Lincoln Day Club, of which the editor of this paper was the secretary and founder is address on that occasion, to this day is one of the brightest pages in the history of that organization, and great glory and fame came to the organization as a result of the enthusiasm resulting from Dr. Ransome's visit. Therefore, a great great is in store for the people of Los Angeles, and the tickets are now out, get ready making your reservations and prepare to hear the oratorical feast of our lives. THE EL DORADO GOLD STAR MINING COMPANY The persistent and tenacious man in which this redoubtable company has held on, and the successful manner in which they have brought these properties up to the high standard wich they obtain, is an object lesson of racial organization; taking into consideration the fact that they have met all demands, that heir creed is gilt edge makes their organization even more remarkable, and portends the ultimate success of the company in the highest degree. It may be not generally known, but it so nevertheless, that this is an undertaking by the plain, common, everyday people. There are no big or U's in this company; they are stated, the common, plain, everyday folks, who with a tremendous wish in the makeup of the organization, have backed it, and made it one of the greatest propositions ever put forth by this people. With their main business offices in this city, in charge of that tireless worker, Howard Polke, as its secretary, and the executive head, G. W. Shields, the working machinery of the company has been equal to all emergencies. With their board of directors of the same make-up, composed of J. J. Bunch, G. P. saacs, C. G. Dumscombe, L. K. Roberts, W. Perry, I. W. Lewis, A. Hayman, Willis Stors, they are at all times on the first line trenches, zealously guarding the interests of the stockholders. Aside from this their iminent manager, Sam J. Brown, has proved his worth as manager of the active development of the mines at Searchlight, Nev. Brown is known or his conservatism, and there are none who for one moment will doubt any report which he submits from the mines, because the very first thing Brown does is to convince Brown, and doing this he always sends to his co-workers, not the maximum result of his findings, but rather the minimum, and on this basis this company has made its niche, so far, as the most promising mining proposition ever put forth by members of the Race. We predict that any person who is a holder of El Dorado Gold Star Mining stock is indeed a fortunate person, and at no far distant date will begin to realize the same. We get this from the leaks susceptible to the knights of the press, but reliable just the same, and it only bears out our contention that the ultimate success of the organization and development is in the hands of the plain, common, everyday people. COMPANY I, 385 INFANTRY CAMP GRANT NEWS All of the boys have riffes now, and are getting plenty of practice. We The California Eagle have moving pictures twice a week at the Y. M. C. A. and boxing every Wednesday. We have music by the 365th Regimental band and Jazz orchestra. All of the California boys that boxed Wednesday night came out victorious. It showed Wednesday night and Thursday was spent in the trenches. Friday and Saturday over 1500 Colored boys came in from Camp Sherman. Ray Isom and Wm. Thomas are clerking in the post office. Several of the boys have been transferred to the machine gun battalion. It has been said that we are to parade the streets of Chicago next week. Several of the boys from this company took ill early in the week, but are much better now. HOSPITAL UNIT NO. 3 HIGHLY HONORED By Floyd G. Snelson, Jr. PHILADELPHIA. March 2. — The Armstrong Association, the S. W. Branch Emergency Aid, and the Red Cross Auxiliary, three prominent war relief organizations of Philadelphia, were hosts of a huge reception and get-together celebration in honor of the elisted men and officers of Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J., and Navy Base Hospital Unit No. 3. Wednesday, Feb. 27. The affair was of great significance, starting with a reception for the men at the Y. M. C. A. at $ p. m., at which me an inspiring program was rendered. Addresses of patriotism and appreciation of the men in the service were eloquently made by several representative men of Philadelphia, among whom were Attorney Asbury, assistant city solicitor; Attorney Dickerson, candidate for the State Legislature; Bishop L. J. Coppin, Chaplain Rankin, who was in charge of the men; Secretary Porter, of the Y. M. C. A., and the leading pastors of the city churches. Miss Maran Anderson, the famous contralto of Philadelphia, rendered selections. This was a remarkable demonstration of renowned importance. A banquet followed at 6 p. m., at the Red Cross Chapter, 743 South 29th St. Banquet. Olives Assorted Pickles Spring Vegetable Soup Chicken Fricassee with Rice Sweet Potatoes Green Peas War Bread Ice Cream and Cake Coffee A special table was reserved for Hospital Unit No. 3. Members of the unit who were seated were Messrs. Otis Bowdoin, Elbridge Lee, Floyd G. Snelson, Jr., Frank Gagnet, George Baber, Claybourne Stovall, Oscar Jones, Jesse Walker, and Frank Patterson. The men marched in parade from the Y. M. C. A. to the banquet hall, and were reviewed by hundreds of citizens, and on entering the latter were heartily welcomed by over 50 Red Cross workers in uniform that formed a gateway to the entrance. Each man was presented with a comfort kit, containing cigars, tobacco, etc. Following the banquet a ball was given at White's Auditorium, 15th and Chestnut streets, from 8 to 12 p. m. An enormous crowd of young women were on hand to entertain the men, and a lovely time was enjoyed. The men left for the camp the same evening and said they were sorry of not being fortunate enough to be able to enjoy Philadelphia as often as the Los Angeles boys, as we are envied by enlisted men as well as officers of this profound pleasure. It's a luxury in the service. Scorers of former Californians besieged our men, inquiring of their acquaintances and friends in the Golden State, and many are expressing desire of entertaining us. Mrs. M. I. Claphan, 579 Stevens Ave., Camden, N. J., entertained seven young men of the Hospital Unit No. 3, Sunday, at a sumptuous dinner at her beautiful residence. An extraordinarily elaborate dinner was prepared and with several Camden school teachers formed a wonderful setting.

Howard entertained with a card party in honor of our Unit, Thursday evening. Several of the boys were present. Cards and dancing were special features. Mr. Sam Atkins was stricken with mumps, which is quite an epidemic San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, MARCH 16, 1918 among the men of the camp. Mr. Earl Morris returned from the Navy Hospital, after spending three weeks with mumps, looking fine and happy to get back. The latest developments now indicate that the Hospital Unit No. 3 will be here for an indefinite period. Preparations a week ago looked as though we would leave in less than a fortnight; but has made a decided change, and the boys may see summer in Philadelphia. All are very restless and the small salary is causing much worry on the part of the men of both Races. Government officials at League Island have received, communication of the reports circulated in Los Angeles of the so-called suffering of the Unit, and have called every Colored member for cross-examination in the Commandant's office, which was great embarrassment to many, and much to their regrets. A thorough investigation is under way and they are confident in locating the guilty pary, if any, who has circulated such hallucious statements. Persons in Los Angeles would help matters consid. erably by expressing their misunderstandings in due time, to assist in adjusting things, as it is in the hands of the highest officials. A copy of the Eagle was very helpful on the part of the boys in general and was used in evidence. BOSTON BARS "BIRTH OF A NATION" Great City's Honor Redeemed by Mayor Peters. BOSTON. March 4.—Last week was a great week for the Race in Boston. The disgrace of permitting the nefarious "Birth of a Nation," in 1915 was wiped out by the newly-elected Mayor, Andrew J. Peters. Through the sole activity of the Boston Bridgnth of the National Equal Rights League, the Dixon play was barred by the Mayor. It was being advertised at the movie houses to be given today at the Globe Theatre Secretary Trotter, of the National Equal Rights League, was informed of this on Wednesday and that afternoon sent a protest to Mayor Peters. On Thursday at the close of the court session, where U. S. Commissioner W. A Hayes rendered John Johnson, of West Virginia, a free man, a case started and promoted by the league, a delegation waited on the Mayor. Those present were President E. T. Morris, Mrs. Jane Posey, William D. Bingham, our white friend, Dr. A. B. Lattimore, Prof. Allen W. Whaley, Dr. J. Silas Taylor, and William Monroe Trotter, secretory. Mayor Peters said he had on receiving the league's protest, sent for the manager of the Globe Theatre and was having, the law examined and would do his utmost to prevent the play, which he characterized as most objectionable. Friday morning's daily papers announced that the manager of the theatre had been to see Mayor Peters and had acceded to his request not to produce the play. Now Boston, instead of being used as our indorser of this "Birth of a Nation," can be used against it. All honor to Hon. Andrew J. Peters. By special request for the fifth time the sensational, dougent and convincing gospel preacher, Rev. C. P. Jones, will preach the above sermon at the Tabernacle located at 2021 Central avenue, next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. No one should miss the rare treat of hearing this remarkable sermon preached by this renowned gospel preacher. Come early to secure seats THE POWER OF PROTEST This is a word which spells power. This is the medium through which recognition is gained. This is the battle cry of all who do and dare and follow where conviction leads. There is no knowledge without protesting against the ravages of ignorance. There is no righteousness without protesting against the onslaughts of sin. Jesus protested against the rule of Satan and his marring of God's created jewels. As a result He gave His life and ransom them. Martin Luther protested against the grip of the Bulls and Popes of Rome and their sinful practices. From his protestations the Reformation came, and with it Protestantism. The thirteen colonies protested against "taxation without representation". As a result of this protest, backed up by united effort, the cradle of republicanism was rocked, and the Stars and Stripes were born. Slavery was wrong. The North protested. The South ignored the protest. Civil war came and slavery was hung upon the scaffold of freedom. The world war came and we were silent witnesses. Act after act riled us. Germany went on until patience ceased to be a virtue. America pro- tested, as a result, we are "going over" to fight democracy's battle. For-ot-w-i- Protest, a word of power. This is one word: the American Negro must put into his vocabulary. This easy, indifferent. "I take what you give me" attitude, must go if we want recognition. A North Carolina sweet potato against the head of a bully, gave me one of the best friends I have today. They lynch us one minute and hold up the flag for a shout the next. They outgermany Germany over here, then send us to France to fight for democracy. Our rights are abridged, our privileges denied us, and nothing is done to bring justice. Germany raped Belgium and we, louder than all the rest, demand reparation. Texas, Tennessee and Illinois can raise hellleujah with the black man, and all catch the lockjaw at the same time. If the Negro wants justice he must demand it. As long as he refuses to protest he will be browbaten and humiliated. We filled Shrine Auditorium and danced all night to show Mr. Flint we were thrifty; why not ill it again and let the world know what we want. Let the best brain of the race get together, cry out against the wrongs and injustices; let us lift out united voices in protest, let us demand full pay for our labor. Let us not forget "taxation without representation" brought on one war, and sooner on later it will precipitate another intelligent protest is a great need. "O, ye who seek the soul's free air, Who seek the larger hope, arise! For truth and justice Do and Dare! Who cares to live when Freedom COMMENDABLE PROGRESS $60,000 Apartment House to Be Build at Jefferson and Normandie Ave. All plants are now about complete to begin selling bonds to cover purchase price of lot and building to be created at a cost of $60,000. The proposition is the safest of its kind over started in this city. The Hellman Commercial Trust and Savings Bank is to be the trustees and will draw the bonds and insure same. Arrangement has been made with the bank nor each purchaser of bonds to have his money plain in and credited the same as a savings account, subject to 4 per cent interest. In case sufficient money is not subscribed, then the bank will return all money to the prospective bondholders, together with interest at 4 per cent. This makes is so the people who have money in the bank will know that they are not to lose a cent in the way of interest. Mr. Miller, the assistant cashier at the Hellman Bank, Third and Spring, will be in charge of the proposition, and will be glad to explain the security and the investment features of the proposition. Now since all plants are about completed, let 600 real race people walk into the Hellman Bank, corner Third and Spring, and subscribe for a bond by paying 55 cash and 55 per month, the same as a savings account. Let us do this next week, so the people all over the country will know the colored people of Los Angeles are not asleep to real progress. Names of the bond holders will appear from time to time in the California Eagle which will give due publicity to this movement, as it does all progressive movements of the race. Dr. Proud, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, said, "I am with the proposition, it is just the thing for our people to do. We must be loyal to our own race in this and all movements if we are to be recognized in the business and financial world. Anyone who wishes to hear more of the proposition should call at the office of Sidney P. Dones, 11032 Central avenue, or call at the Hellman Bank, Third and Spring streets. We are having numerous inquiries from out-of-town people. INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITH COL. ROSCOE C. SIMMONS, IN LOUISVILLE NEWS. For more than a week now, Col. Roscoe Conkling^e Simmons, distinguished citizen of Louisville, and most widely known colored man in public life, has been at home. His physician has him on his feet, but told a News reporter that he dared not tell the Colonel how sick he was. Dr. Lattimore says he is a "good" patient, but headstrong about his health. Fresh from a great personal triumph in the Golden West, the brilliant orator stopped in St. Louis and told it to all the Republican leaders. You know there is always a tosse-up with the Colonel between his church and the Republican party. Either is his fighting piece. Postpones Tour. An important Texas tour was postponed because Col. Simmons was "fagged out" and didn't know it until he laid down one night and couldn't make it up next morning. Several times his friends told him to wire somebody at Tuskegee and Bob Church, at Memphis, to look up Louisville on the map. A News reporter asked him Wednesday for his views on current topics. "Current?" he asked. "Why, all topics are current, or will be when the prohibitionists and the suffragettes get through with us." Col Simmons is not an ardent suffragist and is set against the "problem." Praises White Men "Travel and association," he went on. "have taught me that the American white people are determined to give the Negro every right that is his under the law and the Flag. Of course God is helping them in their determination in these troubles times. God always helps at the proper time. "I would rather have the American white man for a friend than any other white man in the world. And the American white man had just as well feel that way towards me, for the only friend he can claim in the round world is the American Negro, many of whom were here when the majority of white people came to visit and remained to boss." That Los Angeles. "Los Angeles is the city of angels really, but most of the angels are content with earthly tabernacles. The in gold out there. The Colored people are intelligent, clean, and walk with their eyes open. They own property and are buying more. Their children are cultivated, and they move with a certain air not common in the Middle West, and wholly unknown in the East. Their homes are inspiring and I never saw a more generous people, nor a people from whom I gathered more of hope for the children." Col. Simmons paid a tribute to the Colored people of Oakland. He spoke there in the great city auditorium, with the sheriff of the county as cheerleader. "Oakland, you know," he said, "Oakland is the parlor to San Francisco, and they have some parlor, ser, finished and furnished. The Colored people keep step with the music of the prosperity of the place. Why, I had a Colored doctor to treat my threat, and pulled up at his office in the Physician's Building." Defends Mormons. "I wish everybody could see Salt Lake City and Utah," said Col. Simmons. He picked up a copy of the Life of Brigham Young, great founder of the state of Utah. "The Mormons are the most frugal people in the United States. They are the intellectual peers of their critics, and by comparison established on the records they are the cleanest and most law-abiding people I ever saw. I behold their wonderful tabernacle and temple and homes. I had the honor to be admitted into the great chambers of President Smith, of the Mormon Church. I looked into the life of the city. Critics of the Mormons are their religious rivals, and not truthseekers." "Who is going to be the next President of the United States?" That question was lisped, not asked right out. "Why, don't you study?" snapped the Colonel. "The next President is now where he will have all the German soldiers a year after he is in the White House, if the war lasts." The only man big enough to be President, the reporter thought, is in the hospital in New York. And the records do prove that Roscoe Conkling Simmons is driver on the Roosevelt wagon. A fine hour the reporter enjoyed with the most forceful American Negro living today. I understand why ordinary Colored people deep down in their hearts do love the only Roscoe. He is human and he is genuine. IN CALIFORNIA Clouds are lowering, ram is pouring, But our hearts are filled with cheer. For we know our crops are growing, And we'll have a prosperous year. Many states will be depending On old California dear. Very soon they will be sending For the foodstuffs raised out here. We are glad that we'll be able To help our neighbor in the East; Help keep good things on his table; On our production he can feast. Shout hurrah, for dear old "Cally", For our Golden State divine; For her hilltops and her valleys, And her food of every kind. We have praised old California For her climate does enthuse. But if you want to know what's doing Get The Eagle—read the news. —Mrs. Anna V. Smock. CONCLAVE OF STATE CLUBS Present High Class Entertainment at First A. M. E. Church Wednesday Evening The postponed Conclave of State Clubs held forth at the above church THE PEOPLE'S PORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 5 Message on last Wednesday evening, and the various state societies represented cer- tainly reflected credit upon the states which they represented. It was withal one of the most entertaining evenings which we have witnessed. Georgia was represented by Mrs. S. E. Edwards; Texas by E. J. War- ren; Kansas by J. B. Bass. Their merits, their contribution to the advancement of the race were glowingly set forth, and received the tumultuous plaudits of the audience. In the collection at which the various states vied, Kansas was the winner, as its supporters nosed out Texas by an eyeball and thus came to a close one of the most pleasing entertainments of the season. POLITICAL POT PIE The county central committee of the Republican party must speed up and fill the vacancies. They need no precedent, make one. It seems that the proposition of getting together with some of the units of the progressives and standpatters is just about as hopeless as the proposition of the colored leaders getting together. The two Williams are so far the only avowed candidates for the assembly from the Seventy-fourth assembly district. One thing sure, they are not brothers. One is Greenwood the other is Vather. Mayor Woodman has walked right up to some mighty big problems and solved them like a man. When looking for political uplift he can never be overlooked. The Eagle appreciates very much the support of those who render us support at other times than when they are in fire political distress. W. H. Sanders and G. P. Brown are looking over the field and will no doubt try to pick a winner. The Hon. Frank Monser for the senate in this district believes in the axiom that the early bird gets the worm, and is strictly attending to business. He has a host of friends in this senatorial district and the man who beats him will have to go some The Hon J O. Hayes of San Jose, candidate for governor on the Republican ticket, after a few days's sojourn, left for the north Tuesday evening, but he will return, however, and in the meantime it is said that he is gaining 'strength as the time flies. The various committees were appointed this week for the Stephens for governor campaign, and high on the list of the general committee appears the name of our distinguished friend and forward leader, H E. Macbeth. Speaking of Billy Greenwood, he has never known of him, regardless of the fact that we supported his opponent in the last election, anything except that he is 'an all around good fellow, one of the strong patrons of the Eagle, and that beats a whole lot of them, who cannot see us only about campaign times. Speaking of campaigns, it is a good thing that the Eagle does not for one moment depend on political advertisements to carry her over the shoals. We have a much better bet than that. We have made good with the people, and the people have the credit for sustaining the Eagle. BUY THRIFT STAMPS After the war is over we will all be asked what each of us, as individuals, did for our country during the hour of need. What will your answer be? There is a part and work for each of us to do in this great conflict, if you cannot go fight in the trenches you can enlist in the War Stamp Army and spend 250 a week for your boys in the trenches. Shall Los Angeles sit supinely by and let a city like Nashville, Tenn., be more patriotic than she is? On February 27, in Nashville, an organization was formed by the representative citizens there, including all professional and business men, even the Ministerial Alliance and Ministers' Union have volunteered their services and opened their churches to help this cause. They are following Secretary Wm. McAdoo's advice, viz.: "Forget self; be Americans; do your part." CHARLOTTE BRICKHOUSE, RECITAL OF WESLEY CHAPEL MALE QUARTETTE A BIG SUCCESS Notwithstanding the inclement weather on last Tuesday evening, quite a gathering turned out to the recital given by the above quartette, and they were indeed well repaid, as this strong aggregation of singers made good to the utmost, and assisted by Miss Katherine Murdock at the piano, it was a musical evening worth while. Mr. Moses featured with a reading from Dunbar. The following are the members of this famous quartette: R. Moses, first tenor; J. P. Taylor, second tenor; A. Jordan, baritone; W. V. Howard, basso.

All departments on the church are active and actively along lines is the watchword. The church remains to thrill to congregations with their sweet music. They are preparing to tender a can- tain by Handel on Easter night and it goes without saying that a rare treet is in store for all who are so fortunate as to hear them. The Easter services all day at this church promises to be the best ever held. Com- to the church, where we welcome you. FIRST A M E. CHUCH J. Logan Craw, Minister Despite the continual downpour of rain Sunday, two helpful services were enjoyed by two representative congregations. The pastor preached and launched the "Beautifying Rally Fund." Many loyal members came forward with the payment of their pledges and the Auxiliary Societies that reported evoked general applause. Because of the rain some auxiliaries were unable to report. These societies will be asked to report at the morning service Sunday, when the pastor will resume the collection on the "Beautifying Fund," and kindly urge every member and friend to do your bit in this magnificent project. At both services this Sunday the "Beautifying Rally Fund" will pursue. Come prepared to faithfully respond. The pastor will deliver both services this Sabbath. Come on time for a good pew. At the close of each service the congregation will be invited to inspect our ladies' parlor, our S. S. room and robe room which has been beautiful by the efficient painter-and contractor, Mr. Ike B.

Last Sunday afternoon the revival services conducted by Bishop L. W. Kyles, D.D., came to a close after the delivery of a very helpful message from the psalms, "Judge Me O Lord."

All are welcome. SECOND BAPSTIST CHURCH MAPLE AVE. In the pouring rain last Sunday morning, a goodly number came trotting to the Sunday School. The Superintendent was manifestly jubilant over the faithfulness and evident sacrifice of both the teachers and scholars. But very few were able to be out at the 11 o'clock service. The Lord, who is ever present with the faithful, was on hand to bless. Dr. Proudl spoke briefly, but very effectively from St. Mark 5:30. "Be not afraid, only believe." The postor ported out that in distresses, man's dererer resort is Christ. In the further exposition of the narrative, he called attention to the fact that in apparent hopelessness, the hand on the Nightmare is invariably seen in our relief. It was shown also that not only is Jesus with us in our trials, but that he knows of them beforehand. Prominence was given to the act of faith on our part which is always inseparably connected with de- havirances. MOUNT ZION BAPTIST Sunday School, 9.30am, preaching H. H. by Rev Elming, Mr R.

Two in them by Dr. Tindley, a man of our own people. Surely this great Africa should be known to all our people in churches and schools. Africa contains one-fourth of all the land surface of the whole earth, and one-sixth of all the people in the world live in Africa. Colored: Baptists during the last 33 years have given to Africa 62 workers, and trained more than 100 native workers and evangelists. Africa's natural wealth equals that of any other two continents. Africa produces one-third of the world's gold and 90 per cent. of all the diamonds. The Easter program is a reproduction of sketches from Jean Mackenzie's book *African Adventures*, which beautifully portray the work of Christianity among African tribes. With all Africa's natural wealth, there is a greater wealth of 180,000,000 or more souls for the work they need the gospel. Will we go, let go or help go? At it, all at it all the time. Let every pastor see that every department of his church joins the Sunday school on the fifth Sunday of March. He had classes on Monday and the workers in Africa in Worcester. Workionism is imperative that we be loyal to the Lord as never before. For years the Foreign Mission Post has sent from 100,000 to 250,000 proof to our Sunday schools. This week he is cause of the tremulous cost of male labor in Africa. He is to those to thore we will remember our Lord on Mission work on Easter Sunday. After 21 years of growth he best-suited to interesting our Bantje Zion in the redemption of Africa on this Sunday. 13 may twenty-first anniversary of vast undone Enlistment of 100 counsels who will give weekly and report monthly will greatly aid our workers and cheer your old fish hand.

Kinzy .Monrovia We are proceeding slowly with our roll call on the attitude of our professional men, preachers and leaders toward racial business enterprises and will soon give some interesting data for the consumption of our readers. We cannot help but admire the gallant defense of the race by the Editor of the Houston Observer. Week after week he sends forth in the columns of that paper a plea for justice, and the same is all the more remarkable from the fact that in the very ballad of the enemy he stands right on their toes, and tells them of their shortcomings. We doff our hat to Editor Richardson, and the same sentiment goes for the editor of the Black Dispatch of Oklahoma, who is fearlessly at this time, at a mighty risk, attending to business for the race. We want to say to some of our unreliable and procrastinating preachers that you are not injuring any one hair so much as yourselves, and the quicker you change trunks and do the things that are right, the sooner you will begin to progress, and the last person on earth to utter yourself with is the newspaper man for he is referred to at all times for your negligence if it is of such that he cannot speak up for you, we be into you. Despite the breakers and of that irresponsible leadership with which we have to contend we are gratified beyond expression for the many kettles of encouragement which we have received in our stand in which we hold that if we gain the heights, that we must be real products instead of being merely consumers. We note that our article which appeared in this column some weeks ago under the caption, "Sambo is Waking Up," has been extensively reproduced in the white papers, likewise commented upon. They too seem to share in our views along these lines and say they would much prefer that our people should quality as producers in this country, owing to the fact that there is absolutely no question as to their loyalty and love for country. Make Victory Bread and victory meals. When bread is made with a fifth of more of some wheat substitute it may be called Victory Bread. A meal that is wheatless is a victory meal. A meal in which there is little or no beef, pork, lamb or mutton is a Victory Meal. An American Victory Meal is a meal which is in accordance with the request of the United States Food Administration relative to wheat, meat, fats and sugar. The Council of Bishops at their meeting in Louisville, Ky., decided to allow their supervising officers and ministers to deliver food conservation messages to their congregations at such times as the United States Food Administration may desire. What are you doing to help win this war? This is the question now being asked, and on the answer depends whether or not you will have the respect of your fellow men. That Germany realizes the importance of food in this war is seen in its determined and nuturing efforts with the submarine to sink food ships. This is a reason why we must produce so much more food to offset our losses. Each householder in the United States with a patch of ground should make an effort to be self supporting by planting a garden. By so doing this nation can do its duty by supplying food to our soldiers and our associates in this war. There are plenty of food stuffs in other parts of the world, but distance and the lack of ships prevent our obtaining enough at the present time. Thus it is the duty of the United States to supply food, that the war may end in victory for the civilized world. THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN The campaign for the Third Liberty Loan will be opened on the 6th of April, the anniversary of the declaration of a state of war between the United States and Germany. The amount, terms, and conditions of the loan are dependent upon further legislation and will be announced as soon as Congress has granted the necessary powers. Secretary McAdoo chose the 6th of April as the day to open the campaign as the most fitting date to call for a patriotic response to the summons to duty to every American, to ask from the people at home the same fervent patriotism that actuates our gallant sons on the battlefields of France and on the waters of the Atlantic. We advise you to plant plenty of vegetables to be used during the entire year, especially potatoes and beans. By all means plant enough and be sure that you will have a sufficient quantity to last you of these vegetables for a year. Beans and potatoes can be grown in most any section of the United States and can be easily stored for future use. We should like to see the women's clubs open war kitchens as means of demonstrating in a practical manner exactly what victory foods are and how they are made. OUR EXPANDING NEEDS The need for saving and economy by our people, the need for the most liberal and loyal financial support of our Government by the people and incidentally the need for some such financial machinery as that sought to be secured by the war finance corporation bill now pending in Congress are not only verified by the extraordinary demands made upon the United States to meet its war needs and the war needs of its allies, but are also emphasized by the growth of our own domestic trade. The domestic trade of the United States for 1917 was estimated by Prof. Anderson, of Harvard University at $64,000,000,000; in 1913 it was but $30,000,000,000. The strain on the financial machinery and resources of the country to take care of this tremendous increase in our domestic trade as well as meet the extraordinary demands of the war can be appreciated by all. The Secretary of the Treasury, in drafting the war finance bill, gave thorough study to the measures adopted by our allies in Europe and to the conditions in this country, and it is believed that the proposed bill is a wise and conservative war measure to give relief during the period of the war. It is primarily a measure to enable the financial institutions of the country to furnish necessary credits to industries and enterprises essential to the prosecution of the war, and Secretary McAdoo is of the opinion that the mere existence of the machinery established by this act would be so effective in maintaining confidence that the actual exercise of the power would seldom be needed. When it is over "over there" what can you say that you have done to help win this war? You can't be a soldier or a sailor, but if you just help pass the message on that flood will win the war" you will be helping to bring VICTORY to a peace-loving world. Yes, you can do something—where there is a will you will surely find a way. SUBSCRIPTION RATES AGENTS AND CORRESPONDENTS OUR EXPANDING NEEDS THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Send your name and address to your State Agricultural Experiment Station or to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and ask for any information on agriculture or gardening. They will answer you. Senior Bishop B. F. Lc, of the A. M. E. church, says that his excellent health is due to his eating simple foods. If you wish information how to plant, cultivate and keep your vegetables, as well as how to can your fruits, write a letter to the State Agricultural College. The United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., also will send you any information desired. As you live and as you eat, think how you can help to defeat a government that will affiliate itself with Turks, upon whose hands is the blood of thousands of Christians. We would like to see all our schools organize clubs of boys and girls who will go to the farmer and gardener and help harvest crops. Extra GRAND CHURCH At Wesley Chap TUESDAY Extraordinary !!

Main St. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE SAN DIEGO BY MRS. C. E. NORWOOD Mrs. J. W. Price of Vallejo, spent three weeks visiting in San Diego, her mother and father. She returned home last week, after enjoying her stay immensely. Mrs. E. E. Shepherd had a slight scare in her home last week, when her house caught fire, but having the presence of mind, the flames were extinguished without much damage. The house is insured. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Anderson of 2736 Market street have made wonderful improvements to their home. It is indeed a beautiful structure, both inside and out. Mrs. V. L. Goodwin is indisposed this week. A good example is the best sermon, Mrs. W. H. Shores, State Grand Princess of the S. M. M. Lodges, was in San Diego last week to attend the funeral of Mrs. C. C. McClellan Mrs. Shores was the groom of Mrs. Rosa Lee on Vale street while in the city. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Miss. Carrie Robinson has moved to La Jolla Beach. The Sun Beam Band met Friday afternoon to sew, at Mrs. J. Langley's. They are preparing another box to send to the Bazaar for the Old Folks' Home. Mrs. M. A. Hayden entertained the Ladies' Book Club on Wednesday afternoon at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Andrews, on J street. He that would please all, and himself too, undertakes what he cannot do. Rev. P. E. Robinson made a run to Los Angeles last week. "A penny saved is a penny gained!" Mr. and Mrs. M. Cross of Kentucky are now living in San Diego. They were former acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Anderson in Kentucky. Mrs. Cross was at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church Sunday night, being the guest of Mrs. M. A. Hayden. Two cannot fall out if one does not choose. Mrs Frank Seals entertained the Concord Sewing Circle at her home 2826 Clay avenue. Thursday afternoon It is easy for a man in health to preach patience to the sick Mrs A. Brown, who has been somewhat crippled in one foot, was able to be at the First Street Baptist Church services Sunday The Robe Holders' Club, of which Mrs Kendell Paarker is president, and which was appointed to raise money for the chairs in the Mt Zion Baptist Church, gave their first entertainment Tuesday evening at the Parsonage. It being a grand success, the amount on hand after paying expenses was $680, which turned over to the trustees to pay off the bill. The Silver Gate Club, of which Mrs Ed Davis is president, met at the home of Mrs Daisy King and planned to give an entertainment at the parsonage of the Mt Zion Baptist Church. Thursday; March 21. This club was appointed as a subcommittee to the general committee which is to raise money to paint the Mt Zion Church. Mrs Lee Brown's family is quarantined this week with measles. The Carination Club held their regular business meeting last Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs. Good Denny. The weather being disagreeable, there were not so many members out, but the collection was good. The barrels were turned in and Mrs. C. Wright received the first prize which was a beautiful hand-painted water pitcher, and Mrs. V. L. Goodwin, her daughter, received the second prize, which was a beautiful cut glass dish. The total amount received from all sources was $15.50. A donation was made and sent to a little sick boy at the hospital, who has no parents, by the sick committee. The club will have new by-laws at the next meeting. Look! Listen! Everybody in town should go to see this grand play.

Hayden, of 1661 Logan avenue, entertained the 4C's Whist Club at game. The evening festivities were opened with a song by "Daddy" Brown, entitled "Ragtime Blues." The game was one filled with many thrills and ended with the male members being bunched, Hayden, Reeves and Anderson being tied with a score of 83 points each for first honors, Mr. Brown a close second, with McDonald and Dickens bring up the rear. The ladies are scoring well, Mrs. Dickens leads with 95 points, Mrs. Warner second with 84, and Mrs. Hayden third with 77 points. After the game a most sumptuous feast was served by the hostess, Mrs. Hayden. Messrs. McDonald and Dickens, being jealous of Mr. Brown's solo, proposed and sang a duet, entitled, "Why That Hen Forgot to Lay." But, oh my! We all were very sorry that we had no eggs of that hen during her pullet career, to forcefully present to those boys. WHIST The precept, "Love one another," comes to us from one who has an undoubted right to impose it, and with all the authority of a new commandment. All upstake knowledge its justness, and its binding force as a divine obligation. The gospel, not only insists upon love as a duty, but urges it as a necessary fruit and evidence of piety, for the satisfaction both of ourselves and others. Christ says, "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples," and an apostle assures us, "We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren." The thought is a startling one, and full of suggestion to the pious mind. Let all who profess or believe themselves to have "passed from death unto life," ponder well these words, "He that loveth not his brother abideth in death." But do professed Christians need these exhortations. Do not the children of God, the members of the household of faith, and the travellers to a common heavenly home "love one another"? It is enough to sadden the hearts of all who love the cause of Christ to see the church which he has redeemed, with his precious blood, so torn with divisions. How often are its different branches arrayed in hostility upon slight points of controversy, foolishly expelling upon one another those energies which should be concentrated against the common toe? What bitterness of feeling, what jealousy, envy, and malice have characterized much of the religious discussion of the church, causing a wide guilt of separation between those who should be joined in highest sympathies? And if we look at individual churches, how many heirs and bleeding, under the sad effects of personal disputes. By an unlabeled tongue or mistaken zeal, or wicked envy and desire for precedence our Saviour has often been "wounded in the house of his friends". His cause has suffered, piety has declined and obstacles almost impassable have been placed between the sinner and his salutation: "Where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work". Jas 3:16. Eternity alone can reveal the amount of injury that has been done to the cause of Christ by the absence of brotherly love. Let those who follow the meek and lowly Jesus be governed, as they profess to be, by that source of law, the word of God, and accept as their rule of life that code whose demands are all summed up in the one word, love. Then Christianity would be seen and contested a divine institution. Then, too, not only causes of offence and stumbling would be removed, but instead of them would be the more active laborors of God's united people. Churches whose dissensions now grieve the spirit would be visited by this influence. The word would have new power, religion would be revived, sinners saved and God glorified. We therefore appeal to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ "to follow after the things which me for peace". Your own life and happiness demand it, for "He that hateth his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." The interest of the church demands it, for how can she hope or pray for success while distracted by tends and divisions? "The honor of the meek and lowly Jesus demands it, for his name and cause are too often disgraced by the unworthy strife of his nowowed disciples." The wiltrage of the world demands it, for the reign of peace will never prevail except it begin with the church. It is not enough that we pray and labor for that glorious consummation. We must second our labors, and prove the sincerity of our prayers by ourselves practicing that right way which we commend to others, just as Jesus enforced by the power of his own example every truth which he uttered with his own lips. The interests of sinners demands it, for weak minds are stumbling to perdition over the faults of Christians. As, then, dear Christian friends, you value your own soul, and the souls of your bretheren, as you, value the cause of Christ, the interest of the world, and the salvation of those about you, followed after things which make for peace "Be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you." By S B Carr of Pasadena It looks like Lieutenant Dent for the Home Guards. How would Captain Richard Nelson sound to you? Sargeant McAdoo was at the drill Saturday evening. Harold Prince will have charge of the patriotic concert to be given in the auditorium in the high school for the Home Guards on April 2, on Tuesday evening. Corporal Noble Perry says the Home Guards of Pasadena will be one of the best companies in the state of California. Seven of the home guards were formerly high school students. Miss Estella Hart is doing her bit for the Home Guards and says she is a member of the company, and she meets with them. She is known by the soldier boys as the Helen Gould of the company, and she always carries her knitting with her. She is a gradu- ate of Los Angeles Normal. Do not forget that Tuesday night, April 2, just two weeks from Tuesday, the great patriotic concert will be rendered in the high school for the benefit of the Home Guards under the direction of Harold S. Prince. Let every person turn out on this occasion and let us help the boys. So watch for the next issue of this paper for the program. Captain Nelson, Lieutenant Dent, Lieutenant Ballard, Sargeant William Prince, Jr., Sargeant Robinson, Corporal Ridder and Corporal Perry will see you safe across the ferry. In celebration of the fifteen anniversary of their marriage, it was a surprise to Mr. and Mrs. William Griffin.

THE WHITE MAN'S RELIGION DEMONSTRATED Last Sunday morning, when Miss Charlotte Brookhouse of the Eagle staff wandered into the Immaculate Presbyterian Church, corner Figuerre and Tenth streets, she found that the topic "African and the Present World Crisis," as it was being discussed by the Rev Ernest F Hall, D. D. a very interesting subject. In the course of his remarks Rev Hall pointed out that Africa was one of the richest countries in the world in minerals and other resources, and called attention to the fact that many white people had already settled there, mostly from Europe. He advised the white Americans to invest greater interest in the dark continent. Among those who helped to make up the musical program upon this occasion were our own Mrs. M. L. Cowin, Mrs. J. E. Roberts, Mrs. H. D. Grorer and the Misses Irine and Louise Roberts, and they are to be commended upon the excellency of their renditions in song, which highly pleased all present. Miss Brickhouse claims that even though the pastor preached an excellent sermon, at the close of which he advised the congregation to shake hands with all strangers in their midst and even though 600 persons in this church were studying Africa, and some persons are preparing to go to Africa as missionaries that even though she stood in a conspicuous place, where many passed, few shook hands. NOTICE Mr T G Hamilton has been duly appointed as the representative of this paper at San Bernardino and authorized to do business for this paper at that place. Mrs. J. E. Williams, Hostess. In spite of the fact that Wednesday was one of those days that the poet speaks of in this fashion: "The day is dark and dreary; it rains, and the wind is never weary," on that day the Baptist women, according to their profession of faith, came out in goodly fashion to the Allen Allensworth club, which met at the residence of Mrs. J. E. Williams of Hempock street, where a splendid business session was gracefully presided over by Mrs. Sunshine Miller, Mrs. C. Hulbert, the very energetic president, being absent. Mrs. Williams lived up to her reputation as a very amiable hostess, and in her own sweet, gentle fashion made every one feel that it was good to be there. VICE.
