BUY ANOTHER BOND Pitiless Publicity Commended ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 BU Piti NEGRO W. J. WH W. J. WHEATON. There seems to be a studied propaganda on the part of the purveyors of news, in France, for the Associated Press, to place the Negro soldiers serving over-seas, in an inferior, if not despicable, light. If the dispatches tell of their valor they inevitably make the aside—"when led by white officers"—thereby seeking to create the impression that without white leadership the Negro soldier is either an arrant coward, or a rank failure. Of course they are malicious lies. But should they be allowed to go unchallenged because of their falsity? A thousand times no! Why? Because the casual reader of the news dispatches takes them at their face value, and draw their conclusions accordingly. Take, for instance, the report told of a Negro private parading his capture of a German major. Can you imagine a Negro who had the humor to transfer the monochle of his captive to his own optic; and compel him to bear the burden of his military equipment; and march him triumphantly to the prison pen; could so belittle his soldierly standing, and disgrace the uniform he wore by referring to himself as a "nigger?" It is an absurdity. Then another instance comes to mind; another Associated Press dispatch. It tells of the interest that the French take in the Black American soldiers. What an enigma he appears to his French comrades; how strange to fear and reckless of danger "when his white officers are near." There are so many of those seemingly harmless inuendoes coming over—inuendoes that seek to convey to the readers that Negro officers are a failure—that it is time that cognizance be taken of them and efforts made to refute their lying tendencies. Negro soldiers have never failed to follow their own—even to the "supreme sacrifice." That reporter—we cannot dignify him with the title of correspondent—knows nothing of the history of the Black American soldier or he would think of Port Hudson, where the black men with the imprint of the manacles of slavery still visible on their backs, followed officers of their own race up those blood-stained, and death-strewn hills to the belching mouths of the rebel cannon. We would have been ashamed to show him how many white officers were in the van when the Black American boys led the way up the steeps of San Juan Hill. The major part of those leaders wore the chovrons of the serjeant. The Negro private soldier takes a particular pride in his loyalty to those who command him. Visitany of the military camps where they are learning the art of war, and you will note with what snap they salute their captains and lieutenants—Negroes. Then go to the battle fields of France, those regiments that are making history for the black soldier are being led "over the top" mostly by black officers trained in the art of war, and the prestage of fearless ancestors to spur them on. Black Americans as soldiers may have compeers but no peers when it comes to the crucial test, especially when the cause is a just cause. Ninety per cent of them who form the Negro divisions have a distinct knowledge of the cause for which --- VOLUME 32 OFFICERS they battle, and they are giving their life blood freely that they who survive may, indeed reap the fruits of a true democracy. A democracy of equal opportunity; free from the prejudice of race, and fetters of industrial tyranny. The assertion that Negro soldiers fight well only when officered by white men, is a cowardly stab at our manhood. If we allow such to go unchallenged the public will believe that as a race we are not self-reliant or self-respectful, but acknowledge that we are incompetent to meet the exigency of the situation. The race has given to the country its best young men, fresh from the college, technical schools and universities; young men in whom are centered our hopes for the future years, who were to be our leaders in peaceful conquest, but now are to lead us against the common enemy of the world to a contest by the arbitriment of the sword. Will the black soldier follow a leader of his own race? We know a soldier, a leader of men, who is chafing now under the leash of inactivity, who, if placed at the head of a division of black men, they were commanded to reach an objective, would reach it; perhaps with greatly decimated ranks, but would reach it, even if it were the Epmeror William on his throne in the palace at Berlin. Let no one be fooled, the black American will in the future as in the past, follow his black officers to the death. RECEPTION TENDERED DR. H. D. PROWD AND OFFICERS OF WESTERN BAP. TIST ASSOCIATION Tuesday evening the church edifice known as the Second Baptist Church which is the oldest church structure owned by (colored) in the city, in spite of its age-worn condition; by nimble fingers superintended by wide awake minds was transformed into a thing of beauty. The occasion was a splendidly appointed reception tendered Dr. H. D. Prowd, who but recently returned from a trip to East St. Louis, and Chicago, where he went to attend the the National Baptist Convention and the Equal Rights League, and the officers of the Western Baptist Association. Mrs. A. E. Webber was manager of the affair, and the Missionary Sisters of the church rallied to her support in making the affair not only artistic in point of decoration, but splendid in every detail. Dr. Prowd gave a most interesting review of his trip telling many things that happened at the National Convention. Among the visiting ministers present were Drs. Wade, Ramsey, and Mack Allen, who had known Dr. Prowd some twenty years past in Ohio. Rev. Mack Allen told of the splendid work that had been accomplished by Dr. Prowd in Ohio and other fields where he had labored assuring the members of the Second Church that they had as their pastor at this time one among the ablest men in the denomination. Mrs. Webber and the Missionary sisters deserve great credit for this splendid affair. "Let us do honor to whom honor is due." The California Eagle WHY DEMOCRATIC PARTY SHOULD BE DEFEATED NOW AND IN 1920! The South Is The Democratic Party—Insanely Sectional—Nullifies Sections of the Constitution—Unfit To Govern, Etc. The great daily, The New York World, has called upon the Republican party to tell the American people why the present administration at Washington should be defeated in the congressional elections of this year. It asks for an unequivocal statement that will stand the test of scrutiny and fair play. The Republican party may not give such reasons as the world will accept but the colored people of this nation can give reasons that all fair-minded people should accept. The following are some of the reasons why the Democratic party should be taken out of power: (a) The South is the Democratic party. As such the south does not for one moment respect the constitution of the land when its laws conflict with the wishes of the south. is therefore an un-Democratic party, being ruled by a bigotted oilligarchy which scruyles at nothing to carry its ends. It has thrown into the junk heap the constitutional amendments that gave the right of franchise to colored people and boastingly says, as did the late tyrant, Benjamin Tillman, "help yourself" if you do not like it. If the world is to be rebuilt and made safe, no party that is averse to the equal rights of all men before the law, is capable of leading in this stupendous task. (b) The Democratic party is insanely sectional and as such is wholly unfit to govern a country that is now the ruling nation in the world. As this reconstruction must come, it behooves the American people to put in power that party which represents respect for the nation's constitution and knows no sections but plans equally for north, south, east and west. (c) Under the undisputed sway of the Democratic party in the south for the last thirty years, the south has lost its civilization and stands today as the most barbarous spot in Christendom. When we remember that the portion of the country that has permitted lynching, murder and lawlessness to damn the whole country and convert the once fine stock of the south into almost cannibals; we shudder at this section dictating what shall be the policy of the world and this nation, in trying to bring about an orderly peace based upon an orderly government. The only way to escape this awful plight, is to defeat the Democratic party now and in 1920. (d) The present attitude of the south toward colored people, which is one of bitterest hostility, is due to the Democratic party as ruling the south and the country. The retiring of Vardaman and Hardwick is not a strike at the south as an unlawful aggregation of states united to rule the nation by fraud, but it is a blow at the south and such men who will oppose the present administration in its policy of governing the war. If our constitution had been respected and the south as other portions of the country governed its elections of governmental officials as per the constitution, there would not be a democratic administration now, and, however much men like Blease, Vardaman and Harwick are pounced upon and defeated, the nation is none the better so long as the south ignores the constitution and enjoys what she has no right to—double representation in congress and the electoral college. (e) The damper on our status abroad as a sincere nation doing ourselves what we preach to others, is the south's unlawful and defiant attitude toward universal suffrage of mankind at large. If America defeats the south, the world will believe, what we are preaching, a world made safe through democracy. (f) In legal ability; as well as governmental finesse, the south is very poor. Its grasp of great things, is meager, and its ability to execute and plan, less than mediocre. We need now the greatest minds in the world to sit in our national congress and in 1920 we need not only a wise president with a harmonious party planning for all the people alike but we also need the greatest minds at the courts of foreign nations. President Wilson is a man of great wisdom and courage but unfortunately he is handicapped by a party that is unprepared to handle the great things that must come up. (g) : demanding the defeat of the Democratic Party we do not swerve oneota from $^{11}$ loyalty to the President in carrying $^{12}$ his war during the time he must remain our President but we are unwilling to trust another Democratic president with a Democratic congress behind him to solve the "World's Reconstruction," led by American. No one is responsible for the south's position before the world but itself. The one thing that makes other nations question our sincerity is the policy of the south toward colored people that the whole nation has suffered it to exercise. We make no apology for saying that this world is using America's attitude toward the colored race as a barometer of her fitness to dictate the governmental policy of the world. To take our place where we should stand, it is paramount that the south be unhorsed and taught that it is amenable to the constitution and no part of it must be nullified without three being visited upon the offender the heavy hand of all of the people. This humanizing of America, giving it a civilized place as a whole in the world, can only be accomplished by bringing the south under the constitution and this cannot be done so long as the Democratic party is in power. It is well for the nation to know that the colored race will not ever continue to suffer what it has at the hands of the south. Things must either be better or worse. If worse then come to us death while striving to make it better. (REV.) Wm. A. BYRD. (From the Cleveland Gazette) WILL GIVE GRAND RECEPTION IN HONOR OF THEIR GRAND OFFICERS. On next Tuesday evening the 15th the Odd Fellows, with Golden Rule Lodge as hosts will, at their hall, 8th and Wall Sts., give a grand reception in honor of the Grand Officers recently elected at the Grand Session at Riverside, viz.: Grand Master, J.

LOTTERY SHARKS SEEK COVER As Predicted by the Soaring Eagle=-Under- World in a Turmoil Since our last issue in which we took occasion to make a few remarks on conditions generally and to enlighten the people on to "just what's going on" in certain places along and east of Central Ave., the Chinese Lottery Business has been put on the "bum." One of the former Chinese vendors of lottery tickets said on Tuesday, "Me sell no ticket today. Police he round too much now, me go away week or ten days, all blow over me come back again and then I sell ticket to you." And in the meantime the environs of Central Ave are being purged as never before, a new crew is on the job, and everything is tight as a drum, street walkers are absent from their usual haunts, and rooming houses are taking no chances Police Officer Bagged For Consorting. To show the extent of the work of the officers now on the job, on last Treetay night at $19 Linden St., one officer, J. H. Brown was arrested and charged with adultery, it is alleged that he was arrested with a woman consort at that number, at this writing the officer languishes in jail, the woman is in the detention hospital. As further predicted in our article of last week the Cadillac Cafe has been cited to appear before the police commission on next Tuesday, and show cause why its license should Democracy's Great Army Threatening The German Stronghold Contains Many American Colored Soldiers, Who Are Distinguishing Themselfs For Exceptional -and, Exemplary Conduct, Germans Have Umost Respect For Fighting Powess and Daring of Black Warriors—Germans Have Colored Division in the Great Attack—"Will Bring the Bacon Home." Somewhere in France.—The First Separate Company (colored), the only organization of colored men in the Maryland National Guard, is a part of the first field Army under American command and is with the men of that army who are assembled in Lorraine, threatening the great German forress of Metz It is one of the companies of the Three Hundred and Seventy-second Infantry, of the Ninety-second Division, commanded by Major General C. C. Ballou. The ninety-second is one of the divisions of the Fourth ArmyCorps The whole division is made up of colored troops. The colored men, who, in the summer of 1916, were marching back and forth in the neighborhood of their army on Biddle Street, near Linden Avenue, are therefore doing just as much, are just as ready to make sacrifices as their white comrades of the First, Fourth and Fifth Regiments, Battery A, and all the other old Maryland National Grand commands. The First Separate Company, colored, left Baltimore somewhat in advance of the other Maryland Guard commands in the summer of 1914 and went to Pittsburgh. It stayed there for several weeks and then moved not be revoked, the result of this has already been freely predicted and prophesied on. So therefore the predicted shaking up as set forth by the Eagle is in process. In the meantime detective Glenn has been temporarily transferred to this district and to clean up this section of vice. Glenn has an enviable record as officer and no doubt there will be a panic among the denizens thereof while he is on the job. The Chief says he is going to clean up, and if there is a big paymaster up-town he will be smoked out. Will Play No Favorites. The ordtr has gone forth from Chief Butler to play no favorites, but to put an end to vice wherever found and by whoever is guilty, regardless of race or of who they are. Of course now, with the Chinese suspended and the prostitutes suspending operations, the payday is probably eliminated, and if only this has been accomplished it has been a long step in doing good and gives the people a conception of the deprived conditions which at times exist. We have no idea of failing to keep them posted, and this old week or ten days business will not work this time by any means. The Soaring Eagle will be right on the job. ed to a camp in Virginia, and from the Virginia camp to Anniston. For a time the company was in the remount station. Then it was taken into the Three Hundred and Seventy-second in a body, being among the last to leave Anniston and to be absorbed into the Ninety-second Division at the post of embarkation. (Capt. William R. Spencer, a colored man, who organized the company in the '80's, and who had commanded since then, did not go over with his men, although he made determined efforts to do so. He was disqualified because of physical disability. There are about 250 men in the company. (Houston Observer.) THE COLORED PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA GET CREDIT FOR THEIR PATRIOTIC WAR WORK. The patriotic war work of the Colored race is to be preserved in the history of the State of California. The California Historical Commission, Doe Library, Berkeley, California, as a part of the work of the State Council of Defense through the War History Committee, Sacramento, is to gather and preserve material and information regarding the war activities of the people of California, and Mr. William E. Easton has been appointed the historian in charge of gathering and putting in shape for publication in the History of the War Work of California, all the war activities of the race throughout the State of California. This will be stupendous wor, and it is the intention of Mr. Easton, we learn, to appoint representatives in each county or important locality who will gather for the historian of the county committee such information as THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP NO MAN DOWN NUMBER 35 ND ded REAL ESTATE SNAPS WANTED: Every family that rents, who has from $25.00 up as first payment on a modern home.

Saite 39S Germain Bldg.. may be of value in showing what the Colored Race is doing in this war. The information of war work will include not only a history of enlistments in all branches of war service, but the Colored civilian's patriotic work in the Red Cross Auxiliaries, Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bond Campaigns. Also the names and number of men engaged in the shipbuilding industries and all other industries a part of the great mobilizing of manpower for the war. It is proposed to make this history a standard reference book, and in order to make it such a valuable attestation of the Colored Race's war activities, it behooves everyone of us with information bearing on these activities to volunteer assistance. The eminent educator, Doctor Owen C. Coy is the Executive Secretary of the State War History Committee and believes interesting and valuable work can be done in gathering and preserving the very excellent record the colored folk of California are making in doing their "bit" for their country. The selection of Mr. Easton for this work both because of his ability to write and his well-known patriotism and race-love, was a happy selection. L. A.

NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH 16:23 Paloma Ave Rev. A. Lively, Pastor. Sunday was a great day at the New Hope Baptist Church. Rev. Ross preached a very fine sermon on the subject, "Jesus our Guide," at the of which and old-fashioned covenant meeting was enjoyed. At the evening service pastor Reed preached from John s.36, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed," subject, "Real Freedom." From this text he preached an inspiring sermon. One of the largest offerings for the past three months was taken. Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was impressively served. Sunday will be rally day. Pastor Reed will preach in the morning, subject. "Temptation." In the afternoon Rev. R. H. Wade, Missionary for southern California will preach. Rev. F. W. Cooper will preach at the evening service. The Bazaar held by the church on last week was a success even though there were two nights of very bad weather. The Pazaar was another demonstration of Rev. Reed's organizing ability. A revival meeting will begin at New Hope Church Monday night and will continue for at least ten days, with the Rev. Dr. Wade as preacher. One of the main features of the meeting together with the preaching, will be the singing. Rev. G. W. Reed attended a meeting of the Chautauqua committee in the city last Thursday. The services at this church on Lot Sunday will be long remembered by all who worshipped with us; being our first quarterly meeting in this conference year, the Rev. House, pastor of the 2nd Church delivered the sermon at 11 p.m. to the full satisfaction of all present, it was indeed a spiritual message. The Presiding Elder, J. H. Wilson, administered the holy communion to a goodly number, and all went down praising the Lord. The evening service closed amid a blaze of glory when four persons were received into the full membership. The all-star musical given at First A. M. E. Church, Tuesday evening for Ward Chapel was indeed a decided success; and everyone a star. We desire to take this opportunity of thanking each one who so kindly assisted on the program in helping to make this one of the grandest entertainments ever given in Los Angeles. The church is very grateful to the committee, Mrs. P. Alexander, Mrs. Effie White, and Mrs. S. P. Dones; who made this affair possible, and presented to the public some of the best talent in the state. THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST Cor. 18th and Paloma Sts. Rev. N. P. Greggs, Pastor. Great jubilation at the Peoples Independent Church on last Sunday. Both services simply bubbled over with spiritual inspiration. The pastor delivered two wonderfully inspiring sermons, Text, Gen. 12:1, "Get the out of thy Country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee." Seven united with the church three of whom were converts. Announcement was made to the effect that the second mortgage held by Bro. A. J. Jones, a member of this church, had been canceled. Within the last two weeks $4,500. of the general church debt has been retired. The burning of the second mortgage will take place sometime in the near future, watch for the date. Next Sunday will be the day of days at this church. The third anniversary will be celebrated with three extraordinary services. At the morning hour the pastor will deliver the anniversary sermon. In the afternoon at 3 o'Clock the original forty-seven members of the church will be introduced. The main address on this occasion will be delivered by Mr. T. A. Harris.

CHURCH NOTES Cor. 5th and Towne Ave. Rev. J. Logan, Pastor The biggest quarterly meeting ever held in the history of First Church was that of the past first Sunday in October, says Presiding Elder Wilson who was in charge and delivered two strong edifying sermons. Ten persons united with the church at morning service and live at evening making fifteen for the day. Three of these were converts. Between five and six hundred communicants beasted at the Lord's Supper table. In response to the pastor's appeal for the New Quarterly assessment of seventy dollars due Presiding Elder, the membership and friends over-raised the amount, and left in the District Steward's treasury a handsome sum to help in similar assessments during the "Rainy-Day Season." Prof. Greer our new choir director whose entire family are African Methodists won the hearts of this great metropolitan congregation by his splendid manner of direction which caused our unexcelled choir to sing with vanguard delight to the thrilling of every heart. You are welcome to these services all the time. The Quarterly Conference Monday night was largely attended by both members and visitors. Every report was "over the top" and elicited special commendation. Peace and harmony prevailed. The following Stewards were presented by the pastor for confirmation and elected to this most honorable office for the ensuing year.

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. Maple Ave., Between 7th & 8th Sts. Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pastor. The beautiful lesson in our Sunday School was driven home by the review of the Superintendent, and also the Rev. Mr. Wade, our State Missionary. The main point urged by the Superintendent was that of "No half way, but selling clean out to follow God," Our 11 o'Clock service was—"The Final Trial and Triumph of Jesus," John 28:1. He went forth with His disciples, over the Brook Kidron, where was a garden, into the which He entered. After calling attention to the significance of both the gardens of Eden, and Gethsamane Dr. Prowd showed the Pre-Gethsamane Trials of our Lord. Next that He was in the garden to settle the vital question of man's redemption. And He was also in the garden to prepare Himself for the inevitables of the Cross: The young peoples meeting was postponed on account of the lights having gone out on account of a bad fuse. At night we quietly and harmoniously observed the Lord's Supper. There will be a special message for everyone this Sunday. Come out and hear it. Come early. Remember the Rally on behalf of the New Church. Let every club be up and doing. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Minister. The pastor at 11 a.m. preached on the subject, "The Lord's Supper. After the Lord's Supper was instituted they continued steadfastly in this teaching in the breaking of bread. This we learn was done on the first day of the week. There are some who would change this to suit themselves, but friend, no man, not even the angels, have the right to do it. We are told who has the right to partake of this supper, it is ours to say who shall or shall not. We must discern the body of our Lord; must take it worthily or be guilty of the body and blood this represents, the death of our Lord. Why should we wait three months or six to bring this to our memory. 1 Cor. 2:2. Paul said, now I praise you brethren that ye remember me in all things and keep the ordinances as I delivered them to you. We should keep them just as given. In the 23rd verse he tells us he received this of the Lord. How careful we should be in keeping this ordinance. The services at this church on the past sabbath were of an unusually enjoyable nature. The pastor had just returned from the annual conference and was entering upon the fourth year of his pastorate. It was also the regular monthly communion day and the congregations were large at both services. The pastor preached at the morning hour from the subject "Royal Tears" and at the evening service "The Poor Man's Gospel." The holy spirit was present and blessed the worshippers and many were the shouts of joy as the hearts of the people were made glad through the messages of truth. The Epworth League under the leadership of Mrs. Saunders held a very pleasant session at the league hour. It was a real treat to be present. The league is proving an inspiration to all who avail themselves of the opportunity to attend and take part in the services. The choir of this church is one of the attractions of the cuchrch life of the city and they are singing up to their usual sweetness and fervor. There were two assessions to the membership of the church at the morning service. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this church. WESLEY M. E. CHURCH Sunday was an excellent day at Wesley. At 11 a. m. Rev W. H. Washington of the Bethel Church of Christ delivered a stirring message and the him was deeply moved by the spirit. One person united with the church. Our faithful and efficient brother J. A. Warren delivered an excellent sermon at night. The collections were up to the average in spite of the pastor's absence. This Sunday will be a great day. At 11 a. m. the pastor will preach a short sermon followed by the first communion service of the new Conference year. Brother O. S. Stout who was ordained Deacon last Sunday at Bakersfield will assist in the administration of the Lord's Supper.

SACRAMENTO NEWS No broad-minded Negro, man or woman with any degree of race pride would keep themselves so busily engaged (as is the case) making trips to the White Red Cross Chapter at the Capital Building informing them that the Phyllis Wheatley Red Cross members are constantly wrangling, which is not true but quite to the contrary, for they are doing their bit and their quota of work required of them in perfect harmony and with satisfaction. Mrs. K. C. Brown, president, and Mrs. W. Slaughter, Sewing Directress, are diligent workers and receive congratulations from the heads of the Sacramento Chapter. The many friends of Mr. E. W.

For a cloud obscures the passing scene And her pain is hid from view. There is a dream in the world's great heart Unuttered, but sweet and clean; For the world dreams on of things to be. From the wreck of things which have been. There is vision in the world's great heart, Visions old and visions new; For things they have done or failed to do. There is a hope in the world's great heart That the fire of truth some day; Will fill the soul of her erring sons. And burn all their dross away. The dross of their selfishness and lies; Their false gods set in the sun. Of breed and birth and desire to kill; O' to purge them, everyone. The world still feeds from her own great heart A breed of her righteous men; Who pass the great shadow, that men might climb Back to the laws of God again. —WILLIAM NAUNS RICKS. July 24, 1918. Dearest Frenny: You know here in our city many things are happening, that have never before been known. So we just sit agast! from one day to the next wondering what news the new day will bring forth, never getting a chance to express our opinions completely before dame rumor produces something newer. Our girls are just so busy fitting themselves into various occupations and for various positions. Of course you know that the Misses Iva Washington and Gertrude Christman are city teachers in up-town city schools, and Miss Gwendolyn Baker has very recently accepted a Government appointment and many other girls are preparing themselves for civil service. Now! listen, the very latest can you imagine or have you ever heard of a girl painting signs? Well, that is really true and Hazel Brown is the girl. Can you imagine anything more ridiculous? Remember this is women's day and surely our women are not standing back. Well, as I was saying, Hazel Brown is taking up job work in a sign shop—just any kind of sign—card-board, wood, glass, oilcloth, anything—plain, fancy, decorative, or pictorial. So she's going to solicit your job work in monograming, kalograming, you know, that means twisting and turning the letters in one's name to an attractive form of design especially for personal letter-heads, correspondence cards, personal Christ mas cards, place cards, oh, just everything artistic, and I believe she will do so to satisfaction. You will always find her at the Unique Sign Shop, 422 Central Ave, or by calling Pico 995. Well. Frenny that's all I can tell you now. HAZEL BROWN. CRACK COLORED TROOPS DRIVE TURKS BEFORE 'EM Amman Captured at Point of Bayonet By Brilliant Dash of Colored Troops. With The Brithish Armies In Palestine, Sept. 26.—We are around, west and south of the Sea of Galilee... At Semakh, on the south, the Turks fought with desperation. There was heavy street fighting, developing to the allied advantage. The Turkish Fourth army, a portion of which has already been captured at Amman, seems in for trouble. There is no time to take breath in this whirlwind campaign. The temper of the men could not be better illustrated than by a Tommy's remark to me today: "Tired? No, fresh as paint! Let's hammer hard for old England!" I have just returned from witnessing the mounted men's triumphant capture of Amman and I can speak of the splendid handling of the troops in a country where nature had raised enormous barriers against an attacking army. The Aztec mounted division east of the Amman was assisted by some infantry, including a battalion of British West Indians, whose gallant bayonet charges on the Jordon's banks won the admiration of the colonial THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE veterans. They knew the country, having made two dashing raids and indicted damage on the Hedjar railway. They drove the Turks and Germans out of Amman, though the presence there of Germans indicated what deep importance the nemy set upon this section of the line. At the moment when Allenby's plans overwhelmed the two Turkish armies in Palestine, the Anzaacs began a movement to harass the Turkish fourth army over the Jordan. They had to get across several miles of flat country under enemy observation and enter the Gilead mountain chain—almost impenetrable except for one pass to Es Salt. Until this pass was won, only pack transport was possible. The cavalry moved up great tracks and were in Es Salt on the third day after the operation began east of the Jordan. The enemy, fearing and advance against the town months ago, made a strategic road west of Es Salt and had wired one valley. All approaches to the valley had been covered by many machine guns. The New Zealanders declined a frontal attack. They got over the crags of the hill, threatened the enemy flank and compelled a retirement on the town. There was not much fighting at Es Salt. Between 600 and 700 prisoners were taken. The pass from the Jordan to Es Salt is strewn with litter of the Turkish camps. There is a lot of abandoned transport. In the bed of the stream, running alongside the roda. Hes "Jericho Jane," a long range naval gun which for months had intermittently shelled Jericho and the allied defenses west of the Jordan. She made her last Turkish bark, which was generally worse than her bite. The enemy tried to blow up the road. If successful this would have hindered the allies from getting supplies. But only a portion of the charges exploded, leaving the roadway damaged, but clear. Here and on the Anman read from Es Sult are many evidences of the effective aerial bombing. Dead men and animals, broken guns and transports, had to be cleared from the path. On Sept. 21th the cavalry got to Sueweich, half way on the Amman road and at dawn yesterday began operations against Amman. An Australian light horse brigade moved from the right in the Ain Sir direction, continually driving over the rough plateau the Turkish cavalry. Infantry accounted for a number of detachments of prisoners. These enemy units were mounted on little wiry horses, very unlike the British mounts. They caused surprised interest as they passed through our lines. On the right the Australian brigade made good progress, and at noon had got into excellent positions southwest of Amman. On the left, a brigade of Australian light horse likewise made energetic progress. A small party got astride the railway, north of Amanu, and removed two rails as a train approached from the south. I saw it derailed. The Turkish troops got out and escaped in the hills. The little demolition party walked away on the other side of the train. New Zealand mounted rifles attacked the town, which is in a hollow, dominated by high hills. The rapid British movement through the mountains only permitted of mountain artillery being brought up for attack. At 3 in the afternoon the New Zealands rushed into the town. As I looked over the ancient citadel I saw their patrols creep up southeast of the hills, followed by the main body, who forced the enemy from the crest and went through the town before dusk. The inhabitants lined the roofs of the houses, keenly interested in the British arrival, and there were many signs of welcome. Many prisoners were captured. The Rev. E. M. Clark, Pastor of the A. M. E. Zion Church at Monrovia has been appointed there another year. The Conference met in San Jose. While in the North Rev. Clark visited old friends in the Bay Cities. He preached at Zion Church in Oakland and Fresno and the Beth Eden Baptist Church of Oakland. He preached also at the 2nd Baptist Church at Vallejo, and while there was the guest of Bro. Cavel and family. While in Fresno he was the guest of Mrs. Flora Henry. He married Mrs. Henry to her present husband while he was pastor in Frisco. Mr. John F. Henry is a clerk in the War Department of the Government. The Column for Bargains LODGE NOTICE.

The California Eagle 1879 1915 The Eagle urges its readers to buy Bonds to the limit of their ability and continue in the future as we have in the past giving a practical demonstration as to our real worth as American citizens. But even though we come forward along all other lines of effort, do not forget that the line for financial independence is along the lines of production. We must become producers. Stop waiting for someone to give you fifty-tifty, produce something and make them give it to you. We acknowledge the fact that in our crusade for the elimination of the Chinese Lottery joints that we gain the ill-will of lottery players, we gain the ill-will of crooks and the police officer who has his hand out, but for all that we are on the watch tower for the people and must call out to them, what's going on! The way of the transgressor is indeed hard, and the race traitor is always due to get his: So when the Baptist preacher who betrayed Dr. Bundy was only recently shot to death by his wife at tehir home near East St. Louis; it was simply a case of pay day and he paid with his life for playing the role of traitor to his race. After all it takes the women at times to do things, what our men and organization have failed to do on divers occasions, the women of Pasadena, headed by Mrs. Weatherton and Rev. Mrs. Palmer, marched right up to the authorities of that city and convinced them that the thing not to do was to allow the "Clansman" to play there, as it was billed for this week. They won their battle—the "Clansman" did not play. Pitiless publicity we verily believe is an antidote for many insidious and pernicious practices, especially so in cases of untoward conduct. We saw it exemplified at the First A. M. E. Church Sunday nigh, when a giddy couple, despite warnings to desist, kept up an unseemly conversation throughout the service, finally Dr. Craw called them down by snowing them up to the audience, and then they subsided as meek as lambs. It was pitiless publicity but it was a heroic measure which brought desired results. Just where any person assumed to presume that the Soaring Eagle dares not turn on the light to expose the vicious propaganda which a large city, such as ours falls near to, in some way or another, is more than we can say, but if any such thought entered the minds of any person, they simply have another thought coming, for without the least hesitancy, equivocation or mental reservation we stand at all times for a clean and pure atmosphere and to the best of our ability will always stand for the same. We have no quarrel at any time with any individual but we always and forever have a quarrel with the vicious forces of humanity and consider the same as the great weights holding down our progress, as a people we are against all crooks regardless of race or creed, and in a quarter of a century of weilding the pen we have a record of daring at any time to turn on the light, and we would consider at this time our mission closed should we fail to stand for law and order and common decency. We realize too that the Chinese Lottery sharks and underworld are not the only ones which a pitiless publicity will help—we have some leperous spots in high society, and we shall in this case in the future turn on the light as it is revealed to us, and continue to hew to the line. Let the chips fall where they may. NOW IS THE TIME TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR WORTH FOR AMERICANISM. Let not your heart be troubled; neither allow your ardor for country and for real democracy wane, as it is now when the country stands in the greatest need that every citizen is expected to play his full part as an American citizen. A failure in this Bond drive at this time could mean just the same as if our soldiers had lost their greatest battle on the Western Front. It would mean that the Huns would gain their second breath and again make a formidable stand, and therefore it is right up to every citizen of this country at this particular time to make all sorts of sacrifices for a glorious and victorious peace and the annihilation of autocracy in all of its forms. The quicker we destroy this weight which has endangered the world progress the quicker we all come into our reward. There has been no time in this country's history in which the Colored citizens have failed in a social period and we predict there never will be, and let's all get into this campaign full up to our necks and buy Bonds, more Bonds and then some more. If we do this we will give a practical demonstration to Kaiser Bill of the stuff we are made of, that without any threats, coercion or force that ten million black Americans have walked right up to the treasury Department and assumed the fullest responsibilities of citizenship and put up the dollars which have helped to send him, Kaiser Bill, across the Rhine. Our campaign of pitiless publicity as a cure for evil doers will be one that will play no favorites, big or little look just the same to us, the bigger they are the harder they will fall. Those who live right are upright and law-abiding have no need for apprehension in this campaign.

If they are truly right thinkers, they have grown up in the open, subject to “all the disasters which might befall every growth in this Garden of God, Surely, beside them pure cultures have been beat- en down by the rain, chilled to death hy the snows, withered by the ex- cessive summer heat or trampled by the careless feet of those who sought their hardy companions; but must frequently the lettuce, the onion, the cabbage, which produces the liv- ing seed, is the unsightly, ungainly plant which is. overlooked at the plucking ume.

Mr. President, Board of Directors, and Stockholders of the Eldorado Gold Star Mining Company here assembled and abroad.. I beg to submit my annual report for the fiscal year ending Jun 30, 1918. But before proceeding with the budget of its contents, I desire to say, that to facilitate and make the report better understood, that a short sketch of the internal operations of the company perhaps would be in order. We are developing a great Mining industry that reflects not only credit upon the race but upon every individual share-holder who has made an investment in its stock. We started out with a determination and zeal to win and believe me, we are winning. We are not content with talking mining business, but rather we are delivering the goods. The responsibility of the board of directors and your secretary, in directing the affairs of this corporation is a great one. I am pleased to state, that responsibility is being nobly shared by the ci-operation of the Auxiliary Committee with Mr. George Christian, as its president, and other faithful workers connected with that organization. Our fiscal agent Mr. L. E. Guest, who operated principally in West Virginia, did excellent work, and as a result of his noble efforts and faithful service, the company has many great men and women in that state as subscribers to its stock. West Virginia is represented with her full quota of the stock of this enterprise. An announcement appeared in the California Eagle newspaper not long since, that all stock of this corporation had been taken off the market. I wish to state, that the announcement applies to non-subscribers of the stock. All stock-holders of the company are requested to complete their contracts by making full payments and then their certificates will be issued to them—any share-holder may continue to increase his holdings until further notice is given by the management. Advise stock-holders who desire more stock to act at once, because the opportunity will soon be closed against, even, the stock-holders. The majority of the members of this corporation, are men and women who really submit their affairs for guidance at the feet of Him who never fails in any undertaking. So you may understand why success is ours. In July, last, I was introduced by Messrs. Baverstock and Payne, reputable Assayers and Chemists of this city, to Mr. Dunbar, manager of the Rand Mining and Milling Company whose property and great works are located over the Divide, some three or four miles from our mines—said company has made good—Mr. Dunbar said to me, I congratulate you and your company upon the splendid success you are making. We are greatly surprised at you because it was thought by many of us, when your people first started operations in that section of country that you would do, as most your people do, work a little while and then throw up their hands in failure. Nobody in that district entertains such an opinion of you now—but we all know that your mines are destined to be classed among the great producers of our common wealth—Let me say to you, that unity of action on the part of vui honorable board of directors with your co-operation has made this possible—Concentration of force on right lines will surmount difficulties and accomplish things—Mr. Dunbar said further, to develop mining properties, as well as you know, require development of the brains and nerves, besides plenty of money, skilled labor and much patience. These essentials, we thought your people did not possess, but by the way you have changed our opinion. Upon the solicitation of the Chamber of Commerce of this city, we have become a member of that excellent body, which is another evidence that eyes of the home organizations are watching the progress of this corporation. It was in June, last that our company leased and took over from a big New York concern a fifty thousand dollar milling plant for the purpose of milling the ores of this Corporation, many changes are being made in the adjustment of the plant. A competent man has been employed for the directing of this work. The work is progressing nicely, and before many works now the hum of that plant will be heard night and day in its operation. I hold in my hand a silver and gold brick, a try-out brick just sent in by our manager, that you might see it with your eyes and feel with your hands. This is a product mined from the company's ores under its own management. It is only a statter—a youngster, and before many weeks we shall present to you gold and silver bricks too heavy for an ordinary human being to carry. Our troubles have been many. In sine instances criticism ran rampant, emanating from sources unbelievable, intended or course to weaken your purpose, and discourage you in the performance of duty as a stockholder. I am thankful to report that our enterprise was birthed in a storm; therefore, we are familiar with boisterous waves and rough seas. The invisible hand of a Divine Agency is leading this faithful company into a land that floweth with milk and honey. The question for you to decide is, shall I join in the progressive march or shall I use my talent to impede its success.

CHURCHF, COR. 18th AND NAOMI At the session of the Southern California Conference at Bakersfield last week it was definitely decided to move the congregation of Mason's Chapel on Wilson St. near 14th into the spacious and beautiful Hamilton M. E. Church 15th and Naomi formerly occupied by white people. One of the best ministers in the connection will be transferred in to take charge of this important work and its large success from the beginning is practically assured. Wesley Chapel and Mason Chapel are jonitely interested in this work and many of Wesley's members in the neighborhood will be transferring to the new churen. This arrangement will be greatly helpful to the M. E. people coming to the city as we shall have two large churches one of which will be practically tree of debt. This property which cannot be duplicated for $25,000,000 will cost the congregation less than $1500,00 above the value of Mason Chapel when sold and applied on the property.

Allen, appearing in his paper, the Wichita Beacon, attention was called to the fact that there exists no color line in Paris. He mentions the fact that a few days ago he was one of a large number of diners in a swell restaurant where he noticed, that the French officers present were seemingly carried away with the captain taining conservation of a colored captain, formerly a member of the Philadelphia police force. At this same table sat a Mississippi officer who never offered a word of objection to eating with a colored man. In a little while an extremely black man came in with a French girl on his arm. Mr. Allen says further that it is no unusual sight to see the blackest of men strolling along with the French women. In France they look upon a man for what he is; if he is as black as black can be and is a gentleman, he is treated as such. —Wichata Kansan.
