ROBERT WESTERN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION Holds Notable Session at San Diego----Distinguished Baptists Present from Abroad. ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 32 FRED ROBERTS WINS NOMINATION Last: Tuesday the people of the 74th Assembly District of this city, by their votes, decreed that Fred M. Roberts should stand as their choice on the Republican ticket for membership in the Assembly of this State. Heretofore this nomination has been the equivalent of an election; therefore there is no reason to say otherwise in this instance. The people, regardless of race or creed, gave to Roberts a most splendid support, and they will just as surely elect him on November 5th at the general election. The victory was brought about by team work, and it was so sweeping, so great that all can be given full credit who assisted to bring it about. Wm. Greenwood, whom Roberts defeated for the nomination, proved himself a good loser, and he today, by his action, is stronger with the people than ever before. As we go to press the official count is not available, so we are unable to give the figures in detail, but Roberts, we understand, has a lead of more than 200 votes. WESTERN BAPTIST Holds Notable Session of Guished Baptists Pre ECHOES FROM THE 27TH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE WESTERN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION. At 8:30 p.m. Monday, August 19, the Western Baptist Association convened in its 27th annual session, with Moderator Rev. W. H. Rozier in the chair. Praise services were conducted by Sisters Rozier and J. Fleming, and many souls were made glad for being present. A splendid program was rendered, at the conclusion of which the following pastors brought us greetings from various fields; Revs. W. H. Tillman, H. D. Prowd, W. H. M. Dickerson, R. H. Wade, R. H. Lambert, G. W. Reed, J. Fleming, F. W. Cooper, D. Hardiman, Layman S. P. Johnson, and Rev. D. E. Overr of Denver, Colorado. The meeting closed with the usual announcements, and a promise of a great day for Tuesday. Tuesday morning found us in session at 9:30, Rev. Hardiman conducting devotionals. We were favored with a beautiful address, theme "Christ Our All". Devotionals having been concluded, the Moderator took the chair and after some very timely remarks, appointed a committee on enrollment and New Bodies. During the labors of the committee the Association listened to further greetings from the fields; these echoes were indeed encouraging, and, like the above, showed the wonder- The California Eagle MISS HELEN HAGAN Pianist in Recital at Eighth and Towne Avenue Church Tuesday Evening.

Cooper, corresponding secretary, was introduced and preached a wonderful sermon, subject "The Year's Work for the Lord." The message brought by Rev. Cooper was calculated to lift the standard of Christian religion, and broaden the boundary of the Baptist denomination. The afternoon session was opened with devotionals led by Wm. Reynolds, at the conclusion of which the Rev. Dr. D. E. Over of Denver, Colo., was introduced and delivered to us a wonderful address, upon "Life Giving Water". Dr. Over held the audience spellbound, as he told us of the Water of Life, its source and destination; as he lifted our hearts, the congregation sang with a loud chorus, "He Lifted Me." Rev. Reed offered prayer. The afternoon session was largely taken up by listening to the Annual Address of Moderator Rozier. The message brought to us by the Moderator, showing the splendid work accomplished during the year, his appeal to the Messengers for a closer walk with, and more denominational pride, and a greater spirit of fellowship, was sufficient to convince us that God was with him during the year. The address was referred to the proper committee. The Mt. Zion Church being packed to its doors, and many not able to enter, a committee was appointed to look out for a larger meeting place. The afternoon meeting closed. Tuesday evening found us assembled in the beautiful, spacious edifice, the Logan Heights Baptist Church. After the usual devotionals Ret. C. Williams, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, San Diego, introduced to the Moderator Mr. L. J. DR. H. D. PROWD ELECTED MODERATOR OF WESTERN BAPTIST ASSOCIATION AT SAN DIEGO LAST WEEK AT THEIR ANNUAL MEETING The Rev. Dr. H. D. Prowd, pastor of the Second Baptist Church of this city, was elevated to the highest position in the gift of this great denomination at their annual gathering last week at San Diego, where hundreds of delegates from all over Southern California held forth in the annual meeting of the Western Baptist Association. Dr. Prowd is the learned and energetic pastor of the largest and most influential Baptist Church on the Pacific Coast, and since his advent here has endeared himself to all the people of this section, regardless of denomination, as a broad-gauged Christian gentleman, and himself and family have added much to the community in helping in the mighty work of Christian uplift. Dr. Prowd was twice the pastor of the famous Metropolitan Union Baptist Church of Cincinnati, and for some years served as missionary in Nicaragua, Central America, and afterwards the National Baptist Convention of America, as superintendent of foreign missions in South America. Three years ago he was the unanimous choice of the Second Baptist Church of this city for its pastor. He has held aloft the banner of progress for that organization, and even now is launching a campaign for a large, modern and commodious structure which will be second to none west of the Missouri river. Dr. Prowd will lend inspiration to the denomination, and under his leadership in this section the Baptist hosts will thrive and grow not unlike the proverbial green bay tree. the Committee on Finance with a check for $100. The Mayor was greeted with loud applause and was tendered a rising vote of thanks; the evening session was closed, and all retired feeling greatly pleased. Wednesday morning session was opened with spiritual devotionals led Friday morning the Association reconvened, with Moderator Rozier in the chair. Chorister Reynolds led the devotionals, and Rev. R. D. Arline gave an itineresting address, basing his remarks on the 17th chapter of John. An encouraging report was heard from Calexico church, rec- Wilds, mayor of San Diego, who on behalf of its citizens delivered a splendid address of welcome. He assured the Messengers that the welcome came from his heart, and his only desire was that our stay would be a pleasant ones. Mrs. C. H. P. Stearn of the Civic League, Mr. Smith (trustee of Logan Heights Baptist Church, and Mrs. C. E. Norwaad of the Mt. Zion Baptist also brought to us messages of welcome, all calculated, to convince us of the broad heartiness of the good people of San Diego, all of which were fittingly responded to by Mrs. A. E. Weber, Eva Overr Solomon, and S. P. Johnson, assuring them that their welcome would not be abused. Rev. Bro. Cooper, corresponding secretary, came forward and in his good-natured manner briefly told of the workings of the Old Folks Home and asked the Mayor to present the Board with a check for $25 to start the rally of Wednesday. The Mayor rose, and with a smile said that $25 was a very small sum to ask for, and that if the congregation would raise $100 he would give $100. The Mayor's proposition was accepted; the Finance Committee came forward, and in less than 15 minutes, beginning with Dr. Overs of Denver, who contributed $6, $105.10 was laid on the table, and the Mayor, with another broad smile, rose from his seat, and amid cheerls presented WINS by the chorister, Capt. Reynolds, and the morning session was largely taken up in listening to the report of the Committee on Moderator's Address. The committee highly commended the Moderator for his weighty document, and the splendid work he has done during the year, endorsing his recommendation for a Baptist College and referring other recommendations to the proper committees. The report of churches was then heard, and the amount received for taxes was $236.15; the amount for the Old Folks' Home, $617. The Association then took a recess until Friday morning, giving way for the Women's Convention. The Women's Home and Foreign Mission Convention convened Wednesday at 2 p. m. with Mrs. C. N. Moore presiding, their entire session closing Thursday evening, was a great success. Mrs. Moore's annual address was acknowledged to be the greatest heard for many years, and had she not refused, would have been re-elected on suspension of rules. Mrs. Eva C. Solomon, field secretary of the Woman's Work, summed a splendid report of work accomplished for the Old Folks' Home. All the officers of the Women's Convention were re-elected except the vice-president, and Mrs. G. W. Reed was chosen for that position, and Mrs. Viola Hubbard was chosen chorister instead of Mrs. Diekerson. THE MISSING WOMAN --- Captain Wm. Reynolds, Treasurer, Western Baptist Association.

Wade was introduc- ded and preached a wonderful sermon on the Doctrine of the Church. The sermon was all that it had hoped to be, a great message, which made glad the hearts of the hearer. Rev. J. Fleming beautifully sang "Beautiful Isles of Somewhere." Other reports of committees were heard and adopted; Dr. Overr of Denver was asked to install the officers-elect, who did so with credit to the denomination and honor to himself. Friday evening session was devoted to reports of committees, and listening to a masterly sermon from the (Continued on page 4) What the Churches are Doing PAGE TWO FIRST A. M. E.

The services of the Order to which she belonged were very impressive, and the flowers and sweet affections of the children and friends were sug- gestive of the "Land of Rest, the Saint's Delight." The coming of Bishop L. W. Kyles is postponed to the second Sunday in September, which is the 8th. He will preach at 3 p. m. This same day is Woman's Day at Zion, and great services are expected all day, the mothers will occupy reserved seats at the 11 o'clock service and listen to a special sermon for the occasion, and at night a program will be rendered.

Washington, Pastor. All the services at this church last Sunday were up to the standard. Rev. Washington preached in the morning and Miss E. E. Joshua delivered a very inspiring lecture at the evening service. Everyone said they were benefited by her lecture and extend her an invitation to come again. Rev. Washington is preparing to make an extended trip through Mexico and the southern part of the State; while gone he will be busily engaged in church work. His laymen expect excellent reports from him on his return. Services 11:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. Come, join us in worship Sunday. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Eighth and San Julian Sts Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor. Sunday was a good day at Wesley. The sermons by the pastor morning and evening were great messages on the general theme of the Christian's preparation for a revival. One person united with the Church. This Sunday will be a high day spiritually and financially. Members and friends are specially urged to catch up in any deficiency in their pledges for the year. Let us make this First Sunday's offering the largest of the year. 1 a. m., short Communion sermon by the pastor, followed by the Communion service; 8 p. m., annual Labor Sunday sermon by the pastor on the "Emancipation of the Laborer." This sermon ought to be heard by a capacity audience. It will be well worth while. At 3:30 p. m. our congregation will worship with Bro. Eason at Mason Chapel, 14th and Wilson. District Superintendent Dr., Byron H. Wilson will be the preacher of the occasion. At least 100 members from Wesley will be expected to attend. Fifteen cottage prayer meetings will be held in as many neighborhoods twice next week. Roll Call Class meeting Thursday night, with reports of the cottage prayer meetings. Let us prepare ourselves for our great revival beginning September 10. WARD CHAPEL, A. M. E. CHURCH 1354 Channing St. Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor. Services at this church Sunday were very pleasing. At the morning hour Miss E. E. Joshua brought to our people a splendid message to the very great satisfaction of all present; and as a whole we had a good day's services, while the attendance was poor. The program of the Men's P. M. Club, assisted by the Ladies' Auxiliary, on Monday night, was a pleasant affair and well rendered. These clubs are doing great work; the public would, do well to visit them and enjoy their meetings. We are indeed pleased with the cordial greetings we are receiving on our return; it will be much more gratifying to see the faces of many of my friends in our congregation from time to time, to encourage as well as assist in this work. Our services are as follows: Sunday School, 9:30 a. m.; Allen Christian Endeavor, Judicial, 5:30 p. m. A. C. E., Senior, 6:30 p. m.; worship at the morning hour, 1 a. m.; evening, S. p. m. All are welcome to this home-like church. TRINITY BAPTIST CHURCH Thus saith the Lord thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord thy God which teacheth the thee to profit; which leadeth thee by the way which thou shouldst go. Oh that thou hadst harkened to my commandments; then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea (Isaiah 48:17-18). This was the text from which Rev. Archie Williams spoke last Sunday evening. He said: "Our failures, defeats and sorrows are not a matter of little importance to God. His itinerest. His solicitude for us is breathed out like a mother's sigh of love for a lost child. There never was a man in any age of the world's history, or in any department of life, who has ever amounted to anything that did not have out before him the high ideal. This has been true of surgeon, physician, preacher, sculptor, musician or painter. Whatever the occupation may be, the whole soul must be filled with the one purpose and the high ideal. With Christ there came into the world not only a new saving power, but a new ideal, and no life can be beautiful, noble and helpful which has failed to accept Him whose hands bear the nailprints for all men. No man with a low ideal can do noble things. No man can believe little things and achieve great things." PHILLIPS CHAPEL, C. M. E. CHURCH Rev. J. C. Anderson, Pastor. The services at this church on the past Lord's day were of the usual high order, and two splendid congregations were out to enjoy them. The pastor preached to the delight and edification of the church at the morning and evening services. A splendid concert under the direction of Mrs. A. C. Harris Bilbrew was rendered to a packed house on Monday night. The concert was under the auspices of Stewardess Board No. 2, and the ladies deserve much credit for the success of it. The church is as busy as can be getting ready for the annual conference, which is only four weeks away. The church and many friends of Bishop C. H. Phillips are looking forward to his coming with much pleasure, as he was married in St. Louis on last Wednesday night, and is bringing the bride to the coast with him on his episcopal visit. He will also be accompanied by his daughter, Miss Lady Emma. The services of this church are always spiritual and therefore enjoyable. Strangers and visitors are always welcome. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREATIONAL CHURCH 34th St. and Central Ave. E. E. Lightner, Pastor. Beginning with the Sunday School at 9:45 in the morning and continuing throughout the day, excellent services were held at this church on last Sunday. At the morning service we had a splendid lay-sermon by our own Brother Stewart, which was filled with practical Christian truths. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Simpson-Lewis Memorial Fund Band for seating the church held forth in a splendid rally. Dr. A. P. Shaw, the popular pastor of Wesley M. E. Church, brought to us a message that will be long remembered. He chose as his text: "I press to the mark of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 3:14). Following the sermon an offering of forty-six dollars and fifty-five cents was laid on the table. Many substantial pledges were made also in this worthy cause. At the evening service Rev. J. G. Edmonds broke to us the Bread of Life in his own way. The usual services on next Sun day. All welcome. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH Maple Ave. Dr. Bailey, the Texas evangelist, will close his meetings with the Second Baptist Church on Sunday. He will preach morning and evening. Do not fail to hear him. Members and friends are urged to turn in their envelopes on the traveling expenses of both the evangelist and Dr. Prowd, who will leave on Monday to attend the National Baptist Convention at St. Louis, Mo. Dr. Prowd will baptize all the candidates after the morning service. Come early to get seats. The candidates for baptism will please be ready for Sunday morning. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE FIRST A. M. E.

Miss Miller and Bro. Emmanuel Hall delighted the morning congregation with their gospel solos, while our Cosmopolitan Choir sustained its world-wide fame in the usual old way. There were four accessions to the membership. Many distinguished visitors were present and made short talks after being introduced and presented by the pastor. You are welcome to worship here at all services this coming Lord's Day. Be on time. "The Mock Crowd" and "Fellowship with Christ" the sermon subjects of the pastor on Communion Day this first Sunday in September. The blessed Christ said: "Do this in remembrance of me."

The first regular meeting of the Board of Trustees will e held in the "Robe Room." Tuesday night. Sept. 3, at 8 o'clock. Each member is urged to be present on time. Business of importance. MT. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH This church had two very helpful services last Sunday. Rev. R. D. Arline, on his return from the Western Baptist Association, preached two searching sermons last Sunday. The evangelis spoke in the morning upon "Hiding from the Presence of the Lord, and Its Consequences." His text was Gen. 3:18. In the evening he spoke upon the "Significance of the Ten Virgins." The preacher says Christ positively is coming again and at a time which is uncertain. Those of the congregation who will not be ready when the Lord comes are likened to the five foolish virgins who had their lamps but no oil in them. They shall be shut out forever. A great time is expected next Sunday at Zion. Dr. Arline will preach a special sermon at 11 p. m. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Corner 18th and Paloma Sts. South Refectory Rev. N. P. Gregg, D. D. Pastor. Wonderful service to People's Independent Church on last Sunday. At eleven o'clock the first anniversary service of the Benevolent Aid Society of this church furnished abundance of inspiration to a large, appreciative audience. The wonderful history of the society was read by the secretary, Mrs. E. J. Alexander. Pastor Greggs delivered a very practical, and impressive sermon, using for his text James 1:27. Six united with the church, one being happily converted. At the evening service Pastor Greggs began a series of sermons on the life and work of Joshua. Judging from the initial sermon, the series will certainly be a spiritual treat. The music rendered by the choir was up to the usual high standard. At the morning hour the girls' trio thrilled the audience with a jubilous selection. Their harmony was excellent. The musical feature of the evening was a soul-stirring solo by Mrs. Madeline Osborne. On next Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, the annual interdenominational missionary service will be held at this church. The music will be rendered by the juvenile choir, under the dieration of Mrs. Greggs. A cordial invitation is extended to all. X. W. C. A. NOTES Enthusiastic and inspiring indeed was the meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association Club on Monday evening, Aug. 26, 1918. It was the initial night, and featured the installation of the officers, Board of Advisors and the heads of the various departments. The Social Committee, being in charge of the evening, was on hand with a spicy and interesting program. Patriotism seemed to be the keynote of the evening, as everyone's rendition had a touch of patriotism in it. The readings by Miss Viola Baker and Mrs. William M. Johnson were very much appreciated. Also the solo by Mary Rogers. Mr. L. V. Tatum, the rising young poet in our midst, favored us with an excellent original poem, and his young wife, Mrs. Libbie Tatum, also gave us one of his readings. The association is very grateful to these young people for trying to further the interest of the work. Mrs. Prentice, our most enthusiastic worker, made the installation specch hand presented each officer with her particular emblem of authority. The president, Miss Idell C. Alritton, and vice-president, Miss B. Johnson each received a gavel by which they were admonished to rule at all times with authority. The secretary, Miss C. Brickhouse, received a pen and indelible in with which she was told to keep all records accurately. The assistant secretary, Miss Ollie Green, received a pencil as her emblem of authority. The chaplain, Mrs. Williams, was given a Bible with which to feed the spiritual part of our beings. The treasurer, Mrs. K. Wortz, was given a key to safeguard the funds of the Club. The chorister, Miss Kissie Brown, was given a song ook so that she may keep our souls and voices in tune. Each of the heads of the various departments were given a word of advice and reminded that their position was just as important as the officers, because upon their efforts depended the success of the Club. After the installation, ice cream and cake was served by the Social department. There were quite a number of young people that came forward to place their names on the roll. Keep in mind the Grand Choir Contest and the Bazaar, which will both come off in September. WHERE IS THE CHURCH OF GOD? This subject is puzzling the mind of the Christian world. I am led by the Spirit to give some information and explanation concerning the Church of God. We notice in the beginning of the new creation God sent a missionary from the other world, a Baptist preacher. Matthew 3:1: In those days came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness of Judah. The question has been asked, why was John baptizing and had never been baptized himself? If he had not been baptized he could not have been sent as a Baptist preacher. God baptized hina in the Red Sea. John was i n that number of 600,000 men. 1 Cor. 10:1-4. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant; how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them; and that Rock was Christ. The Church of God is a holy, sanctified, spiritual church. I Corinthians 1:2: Unto the Church of God, which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours. God wouldn't permit His Son on His official work He was sent to do, without being baptized first in water and in the Holy Ghost. So God made His Son a Baptist preacher. Now we see the Church of God. God's Church is as old as God is. Acts 3:4: Then they that gladly received His Word were baptized, and the same day they were added unto them about 3000 souls. You can see the Church of God is not a Protestant church, neither an Orthodox Church. Christ is no orthodox Saviour. For 1300 years after Christ's ascension the Baptist Church stood fastly in Our Faith, One Lord and One Baptism. Genesis 3:22: And the Lord God said, Behold the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever. After the persecution the saints and the killing of the Apostles, at that stage the Church of God became weak. Revelation 13:11: And I beheld another east coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. At this time the Beast that John saw coming up out of Iman represented good and evil. At this time the Holy Ghost was discharged and the church doors were closed and opened the school house of learning. At that time they egan sending men to school to learn to preach the Gospel of the Son of God. God's name is not recorded in the school house. That is the condition of things today; from that time began denominations and sects. In the schools of learning the preachers that are sent to these schools only learn the good and evil. These schools are all right for the world generally, but God teaches His own people by men that are prepared to teach. Read Revelation 13, from 11th verse including the entire chapter. Rev. 13:17-18: And that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of his name. Here is wlsdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred three-score and six.

He sold out the wisdom he had got through books and bought the gold of God that had been tried by the fire. We notice the next man that had sold out and bought, the great teacher sent from God in the person of Rev. J. D. Gordon. When the Holy Ghost in him had opened the kingdom of God in men, he took up the command of Jesus as he had left with His apostles, Go, teach all men. When he began to open the truth he was arrested and prosecuted. Next we see God sent along another great evangelist, who has sold out and bought, in the person of Rev. Driver. These three men have spread the truth of the Gospel all over this broad land. All of these are Negro Baptist. These are representatives of the Church of God in this city, which is a holy, sanctified church. God's Minister. 1468 W. 35th St. Los Angeles, Calif. MRS.

Spingarn, sends out under the War Department, officially, a statement which claims entire credit for the President's statement against lynching, for the order to the Red Cross to take Colored nurses (for Colored soldiers), and for the coming use of Col. Young. We would not take any credit from this Colored Editors' Conference for any good that came through it, or out of it. We hope that good will come and not harm, for the resolutions as published ended with an objectionable and indefensible paragraph. There were certainly some of our best men present at the conference and some of those the Guardian has fought in the past stood up in the more manly way. The vulnerability of the conference was due to Major Spingarn, who tried to interfere with the National Colored Liberty Congress, and just prior to this Colored Convention's assembling to prevent it from being held, and did so as an official of the War Department. The real harm that might come from the Editorial Conference is for Major Spingarn to use it as a club to weaken and discredit the free and independent efforts of us Colored people for the abolition of race and color proscription. It is to be hoped that our Colored editors will not permit any white man or any white officials, or government department, by the bait of the undoing of patent injustices, either in a Jim-Crow way or in any other way, to interfere in the slightest with desirable friendliness and co-operation of race-loyal Colored editors, or to divide our race on promoting by publication, or by any other means, the uniting of the race in our own efforts for justice.—Boston Guardian. WAS A GRAND SUCCESS The big meeting in the interest of Fred M. Roerts for the Assembly, promoted by Mrs. C. A. Bass, at the New Angelus Theatre, on last Monday evening, was a thriller and made many converts to the cause of Roberts. The people were enthushed to the utmost, and from that time forward the star of Roberts was in the ascendancy and victory was certain. R. G. Lamar presented J. B. Bass as the chairman of the evening, who started the fire-works by a brief introductory address, and was followed by Emanuel Hall, who enthusiastically presented Mr. Roberts' claims. H. Douglas Greer made a masterly plea for Gov. Stephens and Roberts. Mr. H. J.

THE FORUM LAST SUNDAY Sunday was a red letter day at the Forum. The day was given over to the consideration of the candidacy of Fred M. Roberts for the Assembly. And the afternoon was well spent in making sentiment for his election. J. B. Bass, editor of the EAGLE, was chairman of the day. Frank M. Mouser spoke encouragingly in Roberts' behalf; also F. M. Roberts, while Miss Rosalie Tyler and Mrs. A. C. Harris Bilbrew entertained with song and readings. Many others made short addresses, and enthusiasm ran high. It was a great day for Roberts. Next Sunday Mrs. Joshua, noted woman speaker, will address The Forum. She is a brilliant speaker, and no doubt she will bring an inspiring message. A C. R.

WANT MORE DEMOCRACY HERE All over this broad land of ours, as well as from other climes, the universal cry is for democracy; democracy. Each community in which we live strives to the utmost titanic struggle for this very thing; but many of them that right at their doors is the very first and best place of obstruction of real democracy; and therefore every effort to give the world a democracy echoes back in their own effect; have you proved worthy at your own home? Now, what we want is to see right here in Los demonstration of real democracy, especially wherein the government is concerned; and this will help us so much Vallejo, where they are building ships for the government difference in men as they applied for work in those yards cording to his ability to do the work was promptly put to San Francisco and Oakland, where they also are busy government; we saw all men of all races apply and asses as they could do, and we said this is really and truly deriving down to Los Angeles, with its great harbor and its ship A BIG DIFFERENCE.

Each community in which we live strives to the utmost to assist in the titanic struggle for this very thing; but many of them overlook the fact that right at their doors is the very first and best place for a practical demonstration of real democracy; and therefore every effort which they make to give the world a democracy echoes back in their own conscience to the effect: have you proved worthy at your own home? Now, what we want is to see right here in Los Angeles a practical demonstration of real democracy, especially wherein the mission of our government is concerned; and this will help us so much. We have been to Vallejo, where they are building ships for the government, and we saw no difference in men as they applied for work in those yards—every man according to his ability to do the work was promptly put to work. We went to San Francisco and Oakland, where they also are building ships for the government; we saw all men of all races apply and assigned to such work as they could do, and we said this is really and truly democracy. But coming down to Los Angeles, with its great harbor and its ship yards; it MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. Who applies there? No man who happens to be of God's creation, with a dark skin need apply here if he hopes to get a break of fifty-fifty, or if he expects the consideration of other men, no matter what his attunements in the way of labor or the trades. This practice obtains at the ship yards here in face of the fact that very few indeed of real Americans are employed; the German workman is there, the Italian, the Austrian; every nation extant except the real 100 per cent American in the person of the Negro. Now; this grieves us, and, unlike Mr. Dubois, we are not keeping this grievance in cold storage until after the war; we are complaining now, and yearning for at least some of the democracy which obtains in Vallejo, Oakland, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New Orleans, etc. --- Churchill Rolph's manager told some Colored men who applied to him for work at the polls, that Rolph could win the nomination without the Negro vote.

King PAGE FIVE Wonderful Hair Treatment SAN DIEGO PAGE SIX The Westerp Baptist Association, which convened in San Diego last week, was pronounced to be the largest and best session that the Association has ever held since its organization. So many who had never visited San Diego took advantage of the opportunity of coming to the Association. The ministers were at their est when called upon to deliver a sermon. The welcome addresses were received with much enthusiasm, as in fact was every number enjoyed to the highest, during the entire week. On Saturday afternoon about 92 anxious delegates boarded the Star Crescent boat and took the wonderful trip around the bay. Ice cream, cake, sandwiches and soda-water were served on the oat. Everyone enjoyed to the highest the boat-ride, and say they would not have missed the ride for ten dollars, when they only paid 50 cents. All of those who helped to entertain the Association in any way, whether in the kitchen, waiters in the dining-room, donors to the cause, and by any and all service rendered, is extended aountful of thanks by the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Mr. Wilde, the Honorable Mayor of San Diego, said in response to a call for a donation for the Old Folks' Home, that if the congregation would raise $100 he would donate $100, so therefore in less than ten minutes $205 was raised for the Home. The women's work was also a grand success. On Sunday night Mrs. Weber introduced the subject of having established in Allensworth a home for the child without a chance. A donation of $23 was taken up. The following officers were elected and installed in the Association and women's organization: Moderator of Association, Rev. H. D. Prowd; Vice-Moderator, Rev. G. W. Reed; recording secretary, S. P. Johnson; corresponding secretary, Rev. F. W. Cooper; treasurer, Wm. Reynolds. Of the women's work: President, Sister L. L. Moore; vice-president, Sister G. W. Reed; recording secretary, Sister M. R. Caviness; corresponding secretary, Sister E. O. Solomon; treasurer, Sister E. J. Williams; chaplain, Sister R. E. Dent; chorister, Sister Viola Hubbard, Sister W. C. Williams; assistant organist, Sister J. M. Johnson; organist, Sister Dickerson, assistant chorister. The large American flag that now graces the wall of the Masonic Hall was presented by Mrs. Engena McGuire. A very patriotic member of Ruth Chapter No. 11, O. E. S. Mrs. McGuire is the oldest member, and Ruth Chapter feels very proud of her patriotic spirit. All the clubs and secret organizations in San Diego are requested to send a delegate to a meeting on September 15th for the purpose of organizing a permanent political organization. The meeting will be held under ine auspices of the Negro Women's Council at Masonic Hall. --- Mrs. R. E. Chapman and children spent a lovely vacation with her parents, Mrs. and Mrs. L. W. Pollock, in Los Angeles; also devoting a portion of her time with her husband's relatives, Mrs. Mrs. J. R. Kinzy and Mr. and Mrs. Hicks Emanuel, all of Los Angeles. Miss Louise Chapman of Los Angeles, aunt of R. E. Chapman, spent a few days of her vacation with her family while in San Diego. It was greatly enjoyed. Delegates Mrs. Mollie Brown of Los Angeles, Mrs. Kate Isum, cousin of R. E. Chapman, and Miss Grace Jones of Needles, spent the week of the Western Baptist Association at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Chapman. Mrs. Lulu Haigler, formerly Miss Lulu Hickman of Los Angeles, is spending her vacation at Mrs. Chapman's residence. All friends are invited to call on her at 1432 India treet. Mr. Peter Robinson spent a lovely vacation of a week at home during the Baptist Association, but his comrades were very glad to have him return to his post of duty, as he was very much missed by them all. The two young daughters, Louise and Frances, of Mr. and Mrs. Chapman have returned home from their three months' stay with their grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Kinzay. Next Sunday, Sept. 1, 1995, at the Stadium, the Colored Guards' new baseball team is scheduled to play the Naval Training nine. The proceeds of the contest will be given to the Colored Guards so they can purchase uniforms. This is considered one of the best benefits that has been held here for some time, and a great deal of itnerest is eing shown. It is a good cause, for the home must be protected, and the Guards are out to do that things. Tickets are on sale all this week, and everyone is asked to support the game. The San Diego Colored Home Guards are meetig every Monday and Thursday evening, at 8 o'clock, corner of Eighth and I streets. The men are learning the drill regulation very fast, and that is what we want. Enlist now, men, while you have a chance, and learn to drill under regulations of the Army and Navy, so as to become a better citizen of this grat country which we represent. It is understood that we will place an order for our uniforms and guns, the first week in September. We wish to strengthen the company to a battalion, which consists of one hundred and sixty men. THE FORUM ALWAYS TO THE FRONT The following protest and answers from the same by Thomas Hughes, chairman of the Stephens Campaign Committee, is possibly of more than passing interest to the public at large. It shows this organization is taking a lively interest in our civic affairs and goes on record as unalterably opposed to irresponsible leadership, and to this body no small degree of credit is due for the sweeping victory for the race at the polls on last Tuesday. The Forum designated a committee to wait on Mr. Thomas Hughes, Mr. Gandlier and Mr. Haskins of the L. A. R. R. Company, protesting against foisting on the race of a vicious leadership or pretending leaders. The following is the protest and response from Mr. Hughes: Los Angeles, Aug. 21, 1918. 'emen: We, the undersigned committee of the Los Angeles Forum, an organization for the civic, economic and moral uplift of our race, desire to protest the leadership of persons whose names have come to our attention through the medium of the Colored press. We contend that said leadership does not represent the people of our community. We protest in behalf of the Colored citizens whose votes are not for sale and who loathe and abhor the man who barers his franchise. We have nothing but condemnation for those engaged in the hefarious practice of attempting to barter the vote of our people. We deplore the efforts of the office seekers who resort to such means to secure votes. We also wish to state that the Colored people desire the highest types THE NEW YORK TIMES M. B.

We hope that in your selection of men or women to act in positions of leadership that you will select only those noted for their high qualities of honesty, integrity and morality. Theo. W. Troy, J. C. Slaughter, J. R. Scott, care of The Forum, 1400 East Ninth Street, Los Angeles, California. Gentlemen: I wish to thank you for your kind communication of August 21st, relative to recognition of the Colored people and their leaders along the lines of political endeavor. I believe with you that recognition of leadership comes only to those who have demonstrated qualities of honesty, integrity and morality. My experience is that political leadership, or any other leadership, cannot be handed out or placed by people from the outside. These headquarters has endeavored to conduct this campaign along the high lines set forth in your letter, and we have not attempted in any way to select a leader for the Colored people, or to designate any one as the representative of the Stephens-for-Governor Club among the Colored voters. If any man has presumed to be the official representative of these headquarters among the Colored voters it has been an unwarranted assumption on his part, and we have not paid him any money nor offered him any pay, nor authorized him in any manner to speak for or to represent Governor Stephens or his Campaign committee. Again thanking you for bringing this matter to our attention, I am. Too much credit cannot be given the committee which so faithfully served the body. They are J. R. Scott, J. C. Slaughter and T. W. Troy. CITY BREVITIES CONDENSED Mrs. B. J. Barnett is in the city this week, visiting her sister, Mrs. A. E. Webber.

THE NATIONEL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE INVITES COLORED RACE TO ASSEMBLE IN CHICAGO SEPT. 17-19 TO GET RACE ORGANIZED TO PUSH CLAIMS FOR POSSESSION OF FULL AND EQUAL DEMOCRATIC RIHGTS UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY. The year 1918 is a time unusual and unprecedented in the history of Americans of African descent. Not only are they taking part for their country in an European war for democracy, but within two months two National Colored gatherings of entirely different make-up have laid before the government of the United States the proscriptions of our race. The Conference of Colored Editors and others was called together by the War Department, to which it made complaint. The National Colored Liberty Congress was called by a national race committee to hold a people's convention. From both meetings good is resulting. Expressed in plain, uncompromising English, our just grievances were ought squarely before the House of Representatives, and before the American people, by said Liberty Congress, and were made a prominent and permanent part of the Congressional Records. (June 29, 1918.) It seems providentially fortunate, therefore, that this noteworthy achievement on the part of the Liberty Congress is to be so soon followed by the Eleventh Annual Equal Rights League, to be held in September, in the City of Chicago. Last September, at the memorable tenth annual convention of our League in New York City, Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, that invincible champion of equal rights brought to us a cordial invitation to hold the League's 1918 meeting in the city of Chicago, which invitation we unanimously and heartily accepted. At Chicago, Sept. 17-19. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as President of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the Eleventh Annual Convention of said League to convene on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 17th, 18th and 19th, in the city of Chicago, Ill. Fellow Comrades of the National Equal Rights League, and others, I cannot even begin to express how urgently important it is that our people in all sections of the country should give prompt and earnest heed to this call. By means of the great world-war all nations and races are eing tried, as it were, y fire; their real worth and stamina are being severely tested, and none more so than that of Colored Americans; and we must not allow ourselves to be found wanting. A double burden rests upon our shoulders while this war lasts; we must continue to perform all the duties of citizenship, freely sacrificing our time, our money and our blood for our country; and, at the same time, we must double, rather than diminish, our exertions in our own behalf, unceasingly pressing to the front our own claims and demands for an equal share in the possession and enjoyment of all those rights for which we are fighting. Our very freedom and life, and that of our unborn generations, depend upon our keeping up this double fight. They are half cowards who, while fighting for their country, will not, at the same time, demand an equal chance and a square deal. And they who seek and demand their rights while unwilling to shoulder their full share in the nation's and the world's struggle for freedom, will meet their deserved defeat. Every considerable race on earth is involved in this world-war, and the future of twelve million Colored Americans, with that of other groups of peoples, is to be determined in its issue. Besides our standing grievances there are naw and perplexing racial relations and conditions evolving out of this war that call loudly for our most earnest and immediate attention. These new war-created conditions are such vital significance as should speedily bring together our entire race leadership. This war will result in permanent ebnefit to us only in proportion as we, as a race, through our own appointed leadership, and with organization nation-wide, exert ourselves earnestly, promptly and wisely in our own behalf. Let every community join this Colored Liberty Organization Drive. Let us as a race get ready to enforce our claim to World Democracy as an issue of this world war. Therefore, let us get together for organization as a race to enforce our claims to world democracy. Every church, civic, educational, fraternal, political and business organizations among our people, without regard to sect, sex or party, are invited to be represented in the Chicago convention by one, two or several delegates to deliberate on the organizing of our race for self-defense. An especial appeal is made for the quick formation of equal rights and democracy leagues or committees for the purpose of sending delegates to this national convention for race organization for liberty. Yours for Equal Rights. SECOND-HAND CLOTHES BRING HIGH PRICES IN BELGIUM to Belgian Interned in Holland It is ecoming more and more difficult to obtain clothing in Belgium, according to the Belgian Bulletin, received by the Department of Labor, which says that persons who have been thrown out of work may secure on easy terms, once a year from the charity clothing club, a dress or an overcoat. A Belgian interned in Holland obtained permission to wear civilian dress. His wife, who had remained at Verviers, joined him, and he wrote recently: "My wife has come with my personal effects. However, before she left, a number of persons came to her and offered her for my Sunday suit and overcoat 500 francs ($100); for a pair of velvet trousers, which cost 7 francs ($1.40) before the war, 40 francs ($8); for my shoes, 250 francs ($50); et." WANT 100 MEN AND WOMEN FOR IMPERIAL, CAL. James A. Coleman, who lives at Imperial, is in the city and wants ONE HUNDRED men to pick cotton. Mr. Coleman says that the price for picking cotton this year is better than ever before, and that the crop is much better than for many years. They are paying $2 per hundred for picking. At this price pickers can earn from $4 to $8 per day and up. The growers furnish tents to live in, and altogether housing conditions are all that can be desired. Men of families are especially sought for this work. For particulars inquire for James A. Coleman at barber shop in B. T. Washington Bldg. 1013 Central avenue, all day Saturday.

Labor Movement in Scotland Establishing Ambitious Scheme of Education Working class universities are being planned as a part of a great educational program for British, and particularly Scotch, workers, according to information which has reached the United States Department of Labor. In 1916 a conference of trade-union delegates representing 262 organizations unanimously decided in favor of the establishment of a Scottish labor college and appointed a provisional committee, make preliminary arrangements, draft a constitution, and prepare a curriculum to be submitted to a labor conference. At a conference in March of this year the constitution and curriculum were adopted, and a committee was given authority to approach union organizations for financial support. Meanwhile the sponsors of the college, which aims to teach subjects from the point of view of the working class in particular, have been busy organizing workingmen's classes. Last winter 19 classes were formed, with an enrollment of 1,500 students and 20 other classes were organized in co-operation with the PUles League, numbering about 1000 studenets. The largest class had a membership of 540. In addition to these there were study circles at mealtimes in many workshops. Some of the classes were for particular trades, but most of them weer open to all union workers. The curriculum of the proposed college will include economics, general and industrial history, trade union history and problems, history of the co-operation movement, political science, algebra, tatistics, trade-union law, English literature, composition, and public speaking. The aim is to train young men and women for trade-union or political service. BAKERSFIELD ITEMS Mrs. Susie Hall and family returned home, after spending a month at the beach. Mrs. F. L.

JOINT TENNIS TOURNAMENT In what is promised to be a big treat for the lovers of tennis will be held on the Alpha Tennis courts, 14th and Paloma streets, Laor Day, Sept 2d. The Western Federation of Tennis Clubs, in conjunction with the West Side Tennis Club, will hold its annual meet on the above courts, and the same has already stirred up quite a bit of interest among the local tennis contingent. The Westside Club will enter its trophies—the cups of which it has put in play for the last couple of seasons—to go to the winner of these double matches; while the Federation will offer in its initial prizes, a badge—the certification of championship—to each winner in this tournament. From all indications, a large entry will be in the field to compete for these prizes, as well as to play for the mere fascination of the game. All the matches will consist of doubles—men's doubles and mixed doubles. Several well-known players have already stated their intention to play "Phil" Davis, paired with Clarence Brooks, is the holder of the cups in Men's Doubles of Southern California; but since the latter is now out of the city, Davis will have to find another partner. Mrs. Katie Young and Joe Oliver are the present holders of the mixed doubles cups in these parts. Miss Caldwell and Peter sare also winners of this trophy. Each team having scored one win on these emblems. * The Western Federation of Tennis Clubs stands pat in the stand it has taken relative to players who are not members of clubs being allowed to enter any future tournaments. They claim that this practice on the part of players in the past has worked against the game, instead of being beneficial to it. We are glad to note that a few of the best players whom this affected have already signed up with the clubs. Eddie Harris has attached his membership with the Alpha, while Miss Fern Caldwell will do her future playing for Glendale. The entry to this tourney can be paid at Johnson's Pharmacy. The fee for each player entering has been fixed at 50 cents. The play-off of the matches will start at 10 o'clock sharp. All players not punctual for their matches will default. The drawing will be held on the courts immediately before the start of play. In the evening, there will be a reception and shirt-waist dance tendered the players and fans at Gamut Hall. 1044 South Hope street. Music will be furnished by the Westside Jazz Band. Admission. 35 cents. The entire refreshment privileges at both tournament and dance have been awarded the Harriett Tuman Auxiliary, American Red Cross. The officers of the Federation are Dr. A. C. Garrott, president; Paul Williams, secretary; Mrs. Murdock, treasurer; E. J. Peters, press agents; Wm. M. Dunn, official referee. NOTICE TO TENNIS PLAYERS If you contemplate playing in the annual and joint tournament to be given under the auspices of the Western Federation of Tennis Clubs, and the West Side Tennis Club, your attention is invited to the fact that the foot fault rule will be rigidly enforced. It must be remembered that before commencing to serve, the server shall stand with both feet at rest behind ((i.e., farther from the net then) the base line and within the limits of the imaginary continuation of the half court and side lines, and thereafter the server shall not run, walk, hop, or jump before service has been delivered, but the server may raise one foot from (and, if desired, replace it on) the ground, provided that both feet are kept behind the base line until the service has been delivered. The server must come to a complete stop before tossing the ball in the air. Both feet must be kept behind the base line, and one foot must remain on the ground until the contact of the ball and racket.

When the ship pulled oyt she was headed southward, and after about 30 hours we entered Hampton Reals in the midst of dozen of Uncle Sam’s warriors of the sea. Here we await- ed several ships from viher points to make up our convoy. Remaining + couple of days, we at last started for Europe, in charge of a big U> S. crui- ser calied the Huntington, which was, Well eduipped with all kinds of guns and depth-charges. Eight vesseis. made up the complement of this conyoy, at the staridard speed of 15 knots. Our, ship was equipped with | four S-inch guns, latest type, and | were always in charge of expert gun | crews who kept a vigil watch night and day. The first day out the life coats were given to us, a jacket with | strings which fitted snugly around the body. These life-savers are made | of lamb’s wool under a chemical process, which are capable of hold- | ing one up on the surface of the wa- | ter at least thirty-six hours. The skipper came down and told all the men, in a body, that “submarines” | were sighted very. near the American | coast and that one may be in the im- niediate vieinity and that each man was requested to keep a vigil eye om the lookout, and in any case re-j port to the nearest station. He well | specified that the entire ocean was. a submariné z@o, and danger was, always near. Life-boats were as-| signed and fire crews selected “The first few days the weather was | waria and the sun hot, and aside from several abandon-ship drills | there was nothing to worry one at the least. Good food was served and the gplayer-piano was constantly cheering one’s heart with late jazz music. Just beyond the Gulf stream it turned real cold; and the sea was | roaring heavily, causing many young | sailors to Teel miserable. ' On Sunday. May 26, 1918, out eighth day, we had entered what was | formerly termed the “Submarine | Zone,” namely, east of 30 degrees, longitude. The day passed away qui-| etly until about 4:05 p. m., when the big bells began to clang, clang, five times €ach—the “‘aandon ship” call. This was 2 very unusua 1 hour el practice, as they usually practice in the morning hours? ‘The word was | passed “Submarine!” Everybody was pouring ‘into the‘main deck; star- Doard side was packed, and in a dis- tance Gquld be séeit.s furious battle of the*cruiser and ‘two other Vogl ge Sia Le ae who were ‘firing masses of steel into a little spot where a periscope of a submarine was seen. By this time several shots of the big guns were heard and everybody was excited and in confusion, even the officers. Twen- ty rounds of ammunition were piled into the ocean, and each ship steer- ing full speed ahead. The submarine submerged with such rapidity it was not known whether the shots took effect, but in efther case its commander will cer- tainly lay off a while hefore he sights any niore of Unele Sam’s ships. This attack occurred at 43 degrees lati- tude and 28 degrees longitude: the weather was clear and a fair breeze was In progress. What made ittmore spectacular for our ship.,a stray shell passed right over her bridge and caused extreme fright to two officers wae were stationed at the wheel. The mbips of the convoy usually trav- el areast in a long line, about Ave to eignt nundred yards apart, and when a “sub” is sighted they re signaled to form a position which almost sur- rounds the site of the periscope. This was fully carried out, and the cruiser, being on the extreme end, was near- est the attack and did most of*the firing. assisted by a big 15,000-ton ‘ransport called the “Pocahontas”, amd. next to her was another huge Iransport. These throe did the fight- ing. They were loaded to capacity with American troops, and these lads stood by with amazement, their fears wire entirely overcome with cager- ess to seo the destruction of the ene y's submersible. PART IL. ; #8 a shore time all on board were safe and apparently in the state of warty on’ each one conversing boustfully of what he actually saw. 4p the meanwhile many lads were Maneuvering about the top decks, (endeavoring to find a suitable space io “bunk™ for the night, in order to _be first on the scene in case of a rep- Fetition of the attack. Former in- structions had positively forbidden | smoking on the top decks, any visible light to appear. or any white apparel i the be worn from sundown to sun up. These rules were strictly en- forced. under yenalties, so the detec- tion of the ship could be impossibte ‘to determine py any enemy-cratt ar ing the night! During the early eve- ning several German code messages were picked up by our wireless; one -R-ix, rang through the air many umes so distinctly that all thought it [meant nothing less than revenge or death. The next morning, however, another message was exclaimed ‘from somewhere, a S. O. S. stating |a submarine had fired a torpedo at ‘the U.S. S. Walton Hall, but fortun- ately had missed: giving their posi- tion as 17 degres longitude, 45 de- grees Itaitude, which was directly in our path abort six degrees ahead All these happenings put, renewed vigor and courage in the minds of the entire crew. yet every turn of the propeiler seemed to put us in view of a submarine. One consoling feature now in evidence was the ap- pearance of eight fast U. §. torpedo destroyers, from thé European wa- ters that had reinforced our convoy during the night, which had_posi- tioned themselves on all sides. Ht actually seemed as if all the “subs” had settled upon the same hour of attack: conseauently, just 25 minutes later than the day before, at 4:20 p. m., another dose of the same antidote was administered. I was in the act of passing through the mess hall back aft when the “aban- don ship” call was rung. About two hundred lads were seated for their last repast of the day; ali these husky fellows seemed to try to “make” the two exits at the same time, which were two smail “hatches” about four feet wide. Climbing over tables, Gishes, roast beef, potatoes, coffee pots and everything of the like; any- way, everyone reachef the deck final- ly. All ships were steering full speed ahead, and the torpedo destroyers were left todo the work. There were two heavy jars with terrific force, when two depth charges had been re- Jeased in the vicinity of the appear: | ance of the periscope, by the destroy-_ ers. This was all that was to be| seen or heard, on our way. | By this ime many adventurers on | board were craving to see some real, excitement. All wanted to see the| fate of some daring ‘submarine’. | We Jourpeyed ony but nove|woula| appear. Moreover, we thought more | than once how near to death we) might have been, what the results could have actuated. However, when | land was sighted we all were glad to realize the triumph over the “sub”. | NOTICE TQ MY CLIENTS After Aug. 15th I will be in my office only from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m:; not at all Saturdgys.

Jo the Honorablé Board of Super- visors: Dear Sirs—The California Wom- en's Committee of the Councils. of National and State Defense has been carrying on a campaign to recruit | girls to enter Training Schools for | Nurses. ‘The Committee was asked to do this by the National Council of De- fense at the request of Surgeon-Gen- eral Gorgas. The need for this cam- paign was the removal of the Nurs- ing service of the country the trained nurses who were called upon for war service. A numer of very intelligent and educated young Colored women have applied for enrollment in the U. S. Student Nurse Reserve. In view of this fad’ and the fact that the great cause of Democracy by men of all races, all creeds, and all colors, the following resolution was adopted and is sent to you for your consideration: “As Colored men are being asked to serve the country as soldiers and as the Women’s Committee has been asked to enlist women in the Stu- dent Nurse Reserve, and as numbers of Colored wdmen have glready re- sponded to the‘call, we urge that the ‘Training Schools for Nurses through- out the State be asked to accommo- due Colored women as Student Nurses." It is hoped that it there is a Coun- ty Hospital in your county that you will arrange for it to make provision for training for Colored girls who can qualify, and that publicity will be given to this action of yours.

The mem- bers of class B may make a volun- tary allotment, to which the Gov- ernment adds a handsome contribu- ‘ton, and the combined sum is sent to the soldier's dependents. ‘The Government insurance plan adds a still further protection to the soi- dier and those dependent on him. However, in many cases, weeks and even months have passed without the dependents having received any allot- ment from the Government. What was to be done? Here tle services of Col. Ray proved of no small value. Col. Ray has-had a wide and varied experi- ence in military matters. He was on the staff of Gen. Liggett and of Gen. Strong and was-in the Quartermas- ter’s Department for twenty years. He-was private secretary to Mark Hanna ‘and was also on ex-President Taft's staff. He knows everybody of importance at the national capital ‘The Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Welfare Commission is recognized by the Bu- reau of War Risk’at Washington, the bureau having field men in Los An- geles. When complaints began to come into the office of the Commis- sion at the City Hall, Col. Ray only smiled and said quietly, “We shall see ubout this." And he saw about it. Every night for months past Col. Ray has been telegraphing, at the Government's expense, to Director William DeLanoy of the War Risk ! Bureau theinames of urgently-needed cases of dependents. The result has been that hundreds of women and children have been saved from embarrassing financial circumstances, for they have received their allotments. _POETESS WINS RENOWN Mrs \ © Harris Rilbrew.
