A PLEA FOR JUSTICE! ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 32 (By Willis O. Tyler of the Los Angeles Bar.) Officers in the regular army for the most part are graduates of West Point. They are commisioned second lieutenants at graduation. No Negro has graduated from West Point in the past twenty-nine years, and none has entered there in 32 years. Col Charles Young graduated in 1889, twenty nine years ago, he entered in 1884. Henry W. Holloway entered in 1886, but attended only that year. In all, only twelve Negroes have ever attended West Point and only three have graduated. Of the three graduates, the first, Henry O. Flipper (1877) was afterwards discharged. The second, John H. Alexander (1887) died in 1894. The third and last graduate, Charles Young (1889) has but recently been returned to active duty. We understand he has attained the rank of Colonel. The Negroes of the United State, to the number of twelve millions have only one West Point graduate in the regular army. There are however four regiments of Colored troops, two of infantry, and two of cavalry, and these have been maintained for 12 years. (since 1866), and more than two hundred officers find places in the four Colored regiments. These two hundred officers, with about three exceptions are white officers. In all, only twelve Negroes have held commissions in the regular army. Of this number, seven were Chaplains and two were paymasters. In 1917 there were two first lieutenants; and (then) Major Charles Young, in the regular army. Hence only two officers of the line and only one of the staff, (other than Chaplains) out of more than two hundred who found places with the four colored regiments. We need not stop for the reasons why Negroes have not been attending West Point, nor even admitted there for the past 32 years. Certain it is they have not been attending the nation's great military school, and certain it is that in law, good conscience and right, one cadet at West Point in every twelve should be a Negro. The future lies before us. The four regiments of Colored Troops have vindicated thier right to be maintained as such by having made for the army some of it's finest traditions. Why not have the four colored regiments officered by colored officers from the Colonel down to the second lieutenants? The United States is just making an end to a glorious participation in the great world's war. In this war the Negro soldiers played well their part. They laughed in the face of death on the firing line; they have been awarded the "Ribbon", and the Croix de Guerre, with palms. Who were their officers? From the officers training camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, 639 colored men were commissioned. Since then, 267 more have been commissioned, not counting those in Medical Reserve Corps, nor the 41 Chaplains. Colored Captains and Lieutenants led colored soldiers "Over the top" and commanded them on march and in trench. The officers were given but three months in the officer's Training camp; many of them had served as non commissioned officers in one of the four colored regiments. But not one word of criticism or complaint of them has reached us. Their adaptability to their new duties is beyond cavil. Their efficiency, bravery - leadership, are all unquestioned and permanently established. The future lies before-us. What will our country do? Surely it will not retire all of these fine colored officers, who responded so nobly to the call of their country, to private life and continue the discrimination ```markdown ``` The California Eagie Negro Officers with the Negro Troops in the Regular Army which in the past deprived them of admission to West Point and of commissions in the regular army? I do not believe it. I believe that the sense of justice and fair play is deeply rooted in the American people. I believe that our four colored regiments in the regular army will in the future be officered by Colored men. That the doors of West Point will be opened in accordance with justice and fair play to a proper number and proportion of colored Cadets. But this is not all, nor is it enough. We believe that at present the nation owes the Colored people certain legislation and that the nation being solvent and loud in it's protestations of kindness toward the Colored people for their loyal and patriotic participation in the war both at home and on the battlefield should now pay it deed toward the Colored people and reward them to the extent that the best of the nearly one thousand officers now serving in the National Army be transferred to the regular army and assigned to duty in the four Colored regiments and that these be from colonel down to second lieutenant. We also believe that in the future West Point and Anapolis should 'lend a little colour' to their graduation exercises in the presence of colored graduates. No doubt legislation will be needed to this end. At present commissions are granted first to the graduates of West Point, and even a fair and more liberal policy in this regard in the future will not meet present needs. What is needed now is legislation providing for the transfer (or at least the opportunity to enter) into the regular army of a sufficient number of our Colored Officers now with commissions to officer in toto the four Colored regiments we now have. Commissions are also granted at present to a limited number of enlisted men who are recommended for these examinations, and who succeed in passing. The candidates must be under 27 years of age and unmarried. They must have had a certain amount of secondary - school or college education which few privates or non com's (Colored) have had. This is the case because few young Colored men with the necessary growth, "single - blessedness," and college training, feel, or have heretofore felt that the door of "equal opportunity" announced by Mr. Roosevelt stands open to them in the regular army. To trust the officering of four Colored Regiments to this second mode of selecting and commissioning officers, would prove fatal to our hopes and fail of accomplishment. The third method of selecting officers at present is by examinations of civilians, certain college presidents and other civilians are permitted to recommend certain civilians, (students and others) for examination for second lieutenants. In this regard Negroes have met the same difficulties that they have encountered in the past 32 years in their efforts to gain admission to West Point. At best only a small per cent of each years graduating class from West Point can get commissions in this manner. Those selected have been white men, what we are after now is a present day, practical way of utilizing the best of the material we now have holding commissions and making secure the opportunity for other Colored men to enter the army as second lieutenants and by dint of industry, close application, obedience, brains, and time, gain their promotion step by step just as white men have been doing and can do now. This is the American, - democratic, fair play, reward and justice we seek for the twelve million Negro citizens of our great republic. Congress could if it would, provide for the present by an appro- San Diego, San Francisco and Oakland riate measure giving the right and opportunity to our returning officers to stand examination for commissions in the regular army. Military experience and knowledge, and general and special, educational qualifications to determine the rank or grade received. In this way our four colored regiments could be officered by Colored men. Otherwise, the fine talents and desire for service to the country held by the one thousand intelligent and courageous young Negroes who are officers will be lost and rejected by the country, and the 12 million Negroes in the United States will continue, notwithstanding their patriotism and devotion, to be denied of their just representation in commissions in the regular army. We believe that once this is done the sense of fairness and justice that, after all is said and done, is so firmly imbedded in the American people, will see to it that our proper and proportionate number of young Colored men are admitted to West Point and Annapolis annually and that the other avenues for gaining admission in the army and navy will not be blocked, closed, and denied Negroes by the unreasonable race prejudice which has heretofore done so. Our country is either a country of "equal opportunity" or it is not. It is either a democracy or it is not. Certainly the Negroes have failed to realize this "equal opportunity" in the matter of training at West Point and Annapolis, and in gaining commissions in the regular army. The great war in Europe is closed or soon will be. We have again hown our country that "our hearts are on the right side." What will our country do for us? We ask only that the door of "equal opportunity" be unbarred -- that we may enter. Will the American Congress open it? We await it's reply. Very Respectfully. WILLIS O. TYLER DR. J. D. GORDON SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WRITES FROM THE CITY OF SMOKE. 120, Shetland Ave., Pittsburg, Pa. November 25th, 1918. Editor of the Eagle. Permit me to break the silence again. I wrote you from New York and told you of that great world commercial centre. I am now in Pittsburgh the smoky city, my silence was due to the great tidal wave of joy, with which our nation has been swept, which I hope may be permanent. But how can the world remain peaceful until every nation shall recognize the fact that the feeblest race or nation on earth has the same right to enjoy full freedom. But let me say that as long as God lives and has a program by which the nations are to be governed no nation can be safely free until all the nations of the earth shall enjoy freedom. No league of Nations can stand until the feeblest nations are fully recognized. That Spirit that disregards the rights of a feebler race is the spirit that produces war and injustice and as long as the former lives, the latter will also exist. But I did not, start out to talk about matters of this nature. I said that I am now in Pittsburg, one of the greatest manufacturing centers in the civilized world. Here is where the real wealth of America has its very center. Pittsburg is the center of the great cold fields and also the iron and steel industries of America. This is also a city where the common laborer is at present enjoying the very best possible opportunities. I will not tell your readers about the wages here, for I am not boosting for Pittsburg, nor would I like to see the bread-winners of the far West disturbed. But surely this is among the great cities of America. Pittsburg is not what I would call a beautiful city. I could not call it a beautiful GAL. THIRTEN city with my mind resting on the beauty of our own peerless city, Los Angeles, but while it is rough and smokey yet one can easily see that here is where good people can be happy. Pittsburg is not as blessed with the kind of car services that a great city like this needs. In fact the car you want is always gone and the cars that you don't want are passing by in great numbers. Then when a fellow stands on one of these corners, with the cold win searching the very marrow in his bones, California looms up in all her orange blossom beauty and extends a sirene invitation to the soul, saying, arise my beloved and come way. There is another strange thing here in Pittsburg to me, they have thousands and thousands of lights burning here in the broad daylight. And when I asked for the cause, the answer was that the city is short of help in man force. It has not been as yet my good fortune to meet and to know the great and pivoted men of these parts. But it would be of interest to all readers of the Eagle to know that I'm here with Rev. J. D. Bushell, once the famous pastor of the renowned Friendship Baptist Church. I was aware when he was there that the people did not see and properly appreciate his worth to the people of the West and all the qualities that shone in him out there, have reached in him here full-orbed glory. He is everywhere loved, and respected. Sometimes people do not know what they have missed until it has gone beyond their grasp. I shall tell of the men of this town in my next. REV. J. D. GORDON. The last echo of America's belching cannons have been hushed by the establishment of democracy in Europe. The demobilization of troops have begun. Anxious mothers, wives and sweethearts await the home coming of their loved ones. Shall they begin the battle anew? Or does the democracy won on Europe's blood soaked battlefields stand for the world's democracy, including the Negro? These questions should not be asked, for he has made the supreme sacrifice. Now the home coming -- shall he find his Father, Mother, and brother the victims of chattel slavery, the most hated of God's children? Shall he find the shackles of proscription tightened? Shall he find the doors of opportunity closed against him, to make room for his enemy; the foe of America's liberty. Shall the word efficiency be applied to the classes and not to the masses? Shall he return to find his loved ones the victims of mob violence, the infamy that is eating the very vitals of American manhood, and their life's savings swept to the four winds? Shall he, on entering New York gaze on liberty and feel that the outstretched hand extends a home welcome to him America's son's of oppression? The struggle had only temporarily ceased, the red flag of Anarchy is sowing to the winds of all stricken Europe. The tyranny of revolution is spreading from ocean to ocean. The yellow peril of the far Orient seeks only a chance. The troubles as they exist today between capital and labor are as a volcano, only awaiting the touch of the aggrieved match, before it begins to spue forth it's anger, intones that will rock this grand old country from the Lakes to the gulf and from ocean to ocean. These issues will find the Black man with but one single thought --- America first. Shall he find the call of twenty or thirty thousand Americans wanted for United States service, and that there is a restriction on the call, because he is black? The bullets and sharpnel on the battlefield have no respect of color. The call to arms said "Men fo the United States" Shall not the call to positions of trust be applied to race men in the time of peace, as well as to the call of arms in time of war? There must be no lethargy on the part of the Negro for when the word came to go "Over the top" it applied to the black sons of Uncle Sam as much as it did to the White ones. Using his favorite slang "Let's Go" and he did go. And his quick response to orders were in a great measure responsible for the sudden termination of the bloodiest conflict the world has ever gazed upon. Mothers of black sons forgot the word (reluctant) when the Germans said that "America will not fight". There was no disposition on the part of the Black womanhood of America to hide their sons, for the country had called them. And when the time came for forward March! she fondly clasped him in her arms and placed a fervent good bye kiss upon his lips and said, "God be with you my boy until we meet again." And their promise to their devoted Mothers were "With God's help and your fervent prayers we'll make good. And they have made good. Even with his own government compelling him to defend the country's honor, with one hand tied behind his arm, not being allowed to fight with both hands free. As the records show the gallant old 15th. New York leading the armies of the allies across the Rhine and thence into Germany. Shall he be among those who shall bring the tidings of "Peace on Earth, and good will to all men?" Or shall he find his achievements and courageous acts of bravery when the stars and stripes were in danger of German "Kultur". has only intensified the hatred of his brothers in White? God forbid. Search the sun kissed shores of Mexico and ask her how many slackers has she sheltered, of the Negro race then reverse the question. Shall the great reconstruction of America's industries include the Negro in its fields of activity? Or shall the Negro's exercising the rights of franchise speak louder than the heaving billows from the bosom of the angry deep, for his brother in the Southland that are denied the use of the ballot? Or shall he force recognition? When I say force, I mean pacing in power of men of integrity and trust; men that will not look upon the color of skin or texture of hair, but will recognize their worth and efficiency regardless to color or previous conditions. This should apply to state as well as to nation. Remember the immortal Lincoln said, "No government can stand part free and part slave". I voice the sentiment of twelve millions of Negroes that not government is worthy of it's subjects, services in time of war, and not in time of peace. The white man has beautifully painted our supposed contentment. My friend the contentment of which you pay such a glowing tribute, is only surface deep, and to refute the above statement -- did Frederick Douglass content himself, when his escape was made possible. did the immortal Booker T. Washington rest contented when he gave to America some of it's finest structures of learning; did the "Lion of equal rights for men of his race, serving under the stars and stripes" content himself when he had stirred both White and Black races with his matchless flow of eloquence No! but Roscoe is still hitting the nail on the head. Do the young men on entering the college today, be content with only the rudiments of a college education? No! but you find him soaring in the ethereal blue skies, investigating Mars and endeavoring to communicate with Neptune and Saturn. Does this show contentment? You will find him digging in the bowels of mother earth, dislodging her hidden treasures of gold and precious minerals. Does this speak of his contentment of fifty years ago? Ah, No! Why does the Negro of the South land move in great masses North? Is he contented with the clinging ivy and the honeysuckles on the old cabin porch? Has the mocking warbling lost its charm? Has the new mown hay lost it's perfume? Has the song among the corn fields after it has been baptised, by the refreshing-rain and rejuvenated by the piercing rays of the beautiful sun, for sook it's magnitude -- No but the desires of my people for fields of broader activities for better facilities for the coming Negro of today and tomorrow and an equal chance for a living in the pursuits of happiness and economy. The Great, Master hand has bade the Negro, be patient. We have received these orders with such precision until our brothers in White have mistaken our indifference for contentment. And now comes the order for forward march and the unseen hand has guided them in columns to the North land, where the blasting of factory whistles calls him from his humbles home, where peace and tranquility reigns supreme and the doors of better and higher education for his loved ones stand ajar. And with such opportunities standing open the supposed contentment vanishes. Can Eddie R. Drives. one of the other.

We have reason to be thankful that we can look forward again to the time when we can "enter into his gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise." The ban has been lifted and the services of this church will resume on Sunday at which time a great time is expected. The pastor will preach at both services and the membership is expected out in large numbers to celebrate the re-opening of the house of the Lord. We have been witnessing some strange events in the past few weeks and they should serve to draw us nearer to God and to our brother. The services at this church on Sunday bid fair to be a record-breaker. The unexcelled choir of this church will make the welkin ring with songs of thanksgiving. All the activities of the church from Sunday School on through the list will resume as though nothing had happened to interrupt their work. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to our services. Come worship with us and we will do you good. PEOPLES' INDEPENDENT For eight weeks our churches have been closed and we have missed that personal contact with our people which is so essential to the spiritual life and growth of our churches. During this long trying period, there has been but one point of contact: one general and effective mouthpiece through which every pastor could speak to is congregation—our weekly papers. How eagerly have all hearts turned to these papers and with what burning desire and soul-hunger have all eyes scanned their columns for some message of comfort or word of information. Pastors have been compelled to put these means to new uses and make them serve as excellent mouthpieces through which they have found if possible to speak to the church and world at large. All this has served to draw the pastor closer to the editor and helped him to appreciate as never before, the effectiveness and faithfulness of his most trust worthy ally. During the past years, our church proud of the results and it can be done without placing any extra burdens upon anyone, if we can or will to supplement the energies and efforts of these editors, we would all be news and notes have occupied no inconspicuous place in their columns, giving to the church much free advertisement for which other concerns pay liberally. During this epidemic they have placed their valuable space at the disposal of every city pastor and have thus rendered the churches and people a service which otherwise would have been impossible. Now that the ban is lifted and we are arm to go about our work in the usual way, let us not forget to praise the bridge that has carried us over. We owe them a debt of gratitude, appreciation and honor which cannot be wholly paid in expressions of thankfulness. We should go a step further and really help them, not only to increase their circulation, but to build up their plants, increase their general usefulness, and to grow into truly great publications. We sing, "Help us to help each other Lord." Now let us look about us and find a way to make the suggestion a practical one. These papers have, for years, been boosting our churches and have really done much toward making us fixtures and factors in the community. Have we done as much for them as they have done for us? Have we done anything for them, at all? There must be a better working agreement and a more liberal cooperation between the church and the legitimate business of the race, especially the press and the pulpit. Our papers will never be any more than we are willing to have them be.

SANTA BARBARA NEWS. Agricultural Knowledge by Motor. Agricultural Department Bullitt: The problem of taking the doctrine of better farming and home economies to communities inaccessible by railroads is being solved in Alabama by the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, co-operating with the United Department of agriculture. Exhibits and demonstration material have been mounted on a motor truck recently started on its initial trip for the purpose of teaching negro farmers in their own communities. The truck is known as a "Knapp Agricultural Druck," named in honor of the late Dr. Seamon A. Knapp of the United States department of agriculture. Fourteen years ago Dr. B. T. Washington conceived the idea of fitting up a wagon known as the scool on wheels. This outfit was dawn by mules and operated extensively and with much success in Macon County. The Knapp truck and extension of the Booker T. Washington idea, has been motorized, and it is believed that similar movable schools will in the near future be operated in many parts of the South, vitalizing agricultural extension work in rural districts which are accessible in no other way.

Among other things President Wilson in his message to Congress on last Monday made a covert bid for government ownership. We do not believe, however, that the people, after the violence of government control during the war, will be any unusual for government ownership. The rates have been advanced and around the newspapers have had no consideration at all and after all competing lines vicing with each other to give the best possible service at the lowest possible cost, give to the masses, the great common people, the very best run for their money. The Equal Rights League will have hard sledding to get a place in the Peace Table, especially so when the U. S. Senate failed to get a book in, and they could not even send a representative on the ground that the said representative would be both an unilateral and punitive guest.

Deeds and not words is the motto of the Woman's State Federation, but the Eagle trespasses to use it in soaring the heights of our spiritism. We are beating no drums but week after week give to our readers a practical demonstration of the above motto. We are today serving a seven column eight-page paper blank full of news, in either plate or patient sheet for our highest ambition is to give the people a run for their money. We have not raised our price nor do we expect to lose; we want to reduce our price rather than raise it. We also believe in paper and plenty of it. On this line of effort we are succeeding, every day new subscribers from all parts of the land are voluntarily sending in their subscriptions. We take this as an endorsement of our policy and shall continue, in the same way to serve our patrons. We ask and give n- quarter to crooks on the begrudged brigade. We stand for justice and a square deal for all, and propose to turn on the search light of pitiless publicity when we think the same will serve for the betterment of conditions. The nine-age of the President will hold classes of Congress on his probable event, when with a committee, for the people of the country, to attention, and to bring it was the could fit him, which it received plans, which will also that America seeks an internec-ture safety. He recommended an impartial study of the ration while retaining government control by Congress and promised full and peace plans, also asked a speedy on the milestil development of all. The message of President Walters in the joint gathering of his offices of Congress on last Monday is to be a most notable event, when with a certainty, it will his direct architects for the people of the country to join with the utmost attention, and to bring to the attention of Europe was that he could if a man so willingly interiorize of his increased plans, which will be the fundamentalals of peace, also that America seeks an internationalist the instead of democratic safety. He recommended that Congress should make an impartial study of the national ownership problem, meanwhile retaining government control. He plead for united action by Congress and promised full information as to the purpose of peace plans, also asked a speedy reduction of taxes, laid stress on the tallest development of all government works to the end that employment be furnished to the returning soldiers, also to reclamation of all available lands, paid a high tribute to the army, which made possible the winning of the war in such a short time, and last but not least, praised the part played in the achievements of the nation by the women, and expresed him-self in favor of granting to them a speedy national suffrage. To detail the President as usual again presented another great state paper, which as far as it goes, is a most notable analysis of conditions at this time. We have no big boss to please; we only strive to please the people, the plain, common every day people. They are our success and our support. We appreciate the same and shall ever endeavor to serve the people to the utmost. We publish in this issue an article from the pen of Willis O. Tyler, attorney, dealing with the Negro and the regular army. Mr. Tyler is one of the correspondents of the "Eagle" Attorney Tyler is a graduate (A.B.) of the Indiana State University, and also a graduate of the Harvard Law School (L.L.B.). While a student at Indiana' Mr. Tyler won the Indiana state oratorical contest, and later represented all of the colleges at the Inter-State oratorical contest, held in Des Moines, Iowa, 1901.

J. B. BASS, Teacher, W. J. McKinney, Asst. LET'S GO! Dedicated to the Negro Liberty Boys. By Eva Carter Buckner. Distress! Our sister nations cried Across the waters deep. "We come" To arma, the speedy call, This is no time to sleep! The light's by land and air and sea But we must crush the foe. This is a fight for Liberty. The Blacks fight for Liberty. A little worder cheer. Determined victory they meant These boys who knew no fear. Old Glory never must touch the ground; For it their blood would flow. But they immortalized the words When called, and said—"Let's Go." The Negro soldier fought and fell With others true and brave; On foreign field, from home and friends. He tells a soldier's grave. And on the firing line was he When God seem'd to say No. Yes, ready to be offered up. And with the words—"Let's Go." What does he ask—not vain applause, Nor fame; nor medal bright. Nor empty honor; glorious name; No, that was not the fight. He only asks for what he fought, And what the world would know; Just that for which he offered life. When called, and said—"Let's Go" Copyrighted. Eva Catér.Buckner. SUMMQNS. In the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles ARTUR J. CROPP.

The robust health race that the Germans are keen to be is not accidental. Search the pages of their Cities and there you will discover the cause of their wonderful success at the perfection of the human body. In other words, the German people have long realized the value of physical health and strength. They are the originators of that "An ounce of precaution is worth a pound of cure." They know that true economy reaons that two dollars to health is cheaper than two dollars to illness. Painly in Germany it is custom so strong that it is virtually a law that the German people pay a doctor to keep them well instead of numerating him for paying them through or part of the way thru-when disease has worn them away in Germany it the native physician allows any of his charge to become ill he is the one that pays show is that? There is a club in this city, a group of young women that have declared themselves as fighters for the best of life. They are the Y W C A girls—perhaps you have heard of them. It is they who are arm advocates of this splendid rule of the German people. Dr Ruth Templi, a young woman, the only colored physician in the city, in her generosity has consented to share her knowledge with them on the subject of human health. The woman is going to give free of charge a lecture on health of the women and girls of this city. This she is doing that the sisters committed through ignorance may be obliterated. Her first lecture of the series will be given Tuesday evening, Dec. 17th, at the Y M C A. All women and girls welcome. ... Miss Kathryne Christman youngest daughter of Louise M.

Dr. Marney has been a regular and constant user of the advertising columns of the Eagle and attributes part of his success to the loyal manner in which readers of this journal patronize its advertisers. Dr. Marney is a jeweler of many year's experience, his slogan is "Quality first," and tries to emphasize the fact that jewelry is a commodity that is purchased, as a rule to last indefinitely, and should be purchased from a reliable store. He lays particular stress on the warning to beware of deceiving half-price sales, etc., particularly at the Christmas season when such sales are conceived only for the purpose of misleading the public.

Some six months ago we had the pleasure of mentioning in these columns the advent of a real jewelry store on Central Avenue. This had been made possible by the purchase by Dr. Marney of the business conducted for many years by Dr. Block. Dr. Marney who is a registered optometrist, operates the store in connection with his optical business and has made it especially attractive by the stock of really good goods he carries, and the artistic manner in which he displays it. Dr. Marney's goods (which are undeniably the best) the fact that everything is marked in plain figures at the lowest possible price. (consistent with good merchandise) his own pleasing personality, has made his position as THE JEWELER of Central Avenue unassailable, and his store the mecca of those intent on buying jewelry for personal use, or for presentation, knowing that everything he sells is absolutely as he represents them to be. One of the most noticeable innovations in his store is the lack of those forcing tactics so common in the jewelry stores in this city, so You Are Next! MRS. W. E. JONES, W. P. 1233 Hooper Ave MRS. K.

True teachers are not masters but helpers. They are not to make religion but to show it. It is too late to cover the well when the child is drowned. Can You Guess The Reason Why?

CHURCH Rev. Fred A. Hughes, Pastor Our Quarterly Meeting is scheduled for December 8th, has been moved up to December 15th. The influenza epidemic has torn schedules up and we are therefore glad to be able to hold our meeting on the 15th and thus help to relieve the pressure on time of our Presiding Elder, Rev J. H. Wilson, who is an unusually long man in normal times "Help us to help each other. Lorem each other's cross to bear." Let's make it a great day in St Paul and a greater day in Zion. The Golden Cleaners, a very efficient organization of our church ladies, met with Mrs. H. D. Ingram Wednesday evening and transacted routine business more proved ourselves lawful.

The pastor takes oppo urge all the young people tend. In the evening the Snapper will be administered. A beautiful and inspiring scene is to look in upon our Allen League at work, a veritable bee hive both old and young active and eager to do. Brother H. A. Inghram was our leader last Sunday. We attribute much of our League success to our amiable president, Mrs. Marie Muckelroy. The Mite Missionary Society met at the parsonage this week and the ladies are all anxious to get back to normal times again. Mrs. Nash and little daughter Dorothy were callers at the parsonage Sunday. There was a real surprise party at the parsonage Tuesday. The delivery car drove up and unloaded a large box of groceries with all marks of identification removed, and the only way Sister Hughes was able to knit from whom it came was by the bill found in the bottom of the box, marked paid. Thus from the bill-head we found that brother B W Inghram was the cause of a genuine joy at the parsonage. Mrs. Viola Ingham, Mrs. Emily Harris and Mrs. Addie Carlton were Redlands visitors Wednesday. W. J. Henderson and Barise Bee, both members of St. Paul's choir and Santa Rosa employees, sent for the pastor the other day and gave him a cash donation to help move things along. Howard D. Ingham, a graduate of the local high school in the 1918 class, and now a student of the University at Berkeley was recently added to the University Band of sixty pieces. Howard is a member of St. Paul and an excellent Sunday school worker. Upon his leaving for the University the Sunday school presented him a neat little Bible which he said would be his guide through life. Prince U. Kala Rega, of British East Africa, will speak for us Sunday afternoon and night. Ded. St. S. M. Carling, our local store man, was a business visitor in Los Angeles Thursday. C. A.

Our Sunday school terms with New Hope Sunday school this year in the Christmas tree. New Hope Baptist Church 7th and Harris Streets Rev. G. W. Reed, Pestor Sunday, was one of the earliest days observed by the New Hope Baptist Church since the hiring of the "7th ban" The Sunday School opened, practically on time A speaker or from the international Sunday School Association was present and spoke on the Armenian Syriac relic work. The church service began on time with an old time covenant meeting, which was highly enjoyed by all at the close of which Pastor Reel preached the Baptismal sermon. Taking his text from Matt 3:13-15, he preclaimed the doctrine of Baptism with clarity and with understanding after which the ordinance of baptism was administered to a waiting candidate. In the afternoon a very interesting mass meeting was held at which Rev. Hughes, Wade and Reed spoke on the subject, "Reconfrontation, Temporarily and Spiritually." Each speaker brought tertioides in put into action by the churches and people of the Race at large in San Bernardino will more greatly to the benefit of the Race in this city. Rev. R. H. Wade preached his closing sermon Sunday evening. A large audience greeted him bartled attention. His hearers linger on to his every word, which was deep and calculated to inspire and help all who listened to it. The regular collection for the day amounted to $411.5, offering given to the Ms. sionary, $32.5.

Harrison has recovered sufficiently from her late illness to go to Pasadena where she will spend a few days with her daughter to recuperate. Come out to the mass meeting next Monday night and let's do business. LOS ANGELES CHURCHES. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Ave. At last the ban has been lifted, and the churches will all be opened for Divine Worship on Sunday. Truly it has been a time for the exercise of patience and faith. Notwithstanding the great strain under which our people have been placed—almost resisting nature itself—for we are universally known to be of an intensely religious temperament, yet we once more proved ourselves law-abiding. During the seven weeks of restraint not one of our churches opened its doors at any time. The members of the Second Church hall with delight the lifting of the ban and all of us together with our friends will be on hand early on Sunday to all the services. The Superintendant, every teacher, and all the scholars will be out to Sunday School at the usual hour. At 11 o'Clock, Dr. Prowd will have a special message for all in attendance. At 6 p.m. the Young People will have their regular meeting. The pastor takes opportunity to urge all the young people to attend. In the evening the Lord's Snapper will be administered. The Second Church through its pastor expresses deep sympathy with those who have been bereaved during the epidemic: And as, by comparison, we have lost but few of our people, let us not forget to praise Him who in loving kindness and tender mercy hath seen fit to spare us. Let this very Sunday mark the turning point in our life for a closer walk with God. Cor, Nth, and San Julian SUS. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor. First of all, let us thank God for the way in which he has led us during the period in which our church was closed. None of our members have died of Influenza. Our financial ter. We come out of these strenuous times for the churches with all bills paid up to date. Our work is before interests have been well looked at, let us all come out Sunday prepared to go forward with the work of the new conference year. Let us make Sunday a great spiritual day, beginning with the Sunrise Prayer meeting led by Rev. Stout and closing with the benediction Sunday night. Superintendent Greene desires all the teachers and scholars present on time Sunday morning prepared to contribute 5 Cents for every Sunday absent. The Sunday School must get ready for Christmas which is so near at hand. Other services as follows: 11 a.m. Sermon. "What has God wrought?" by the pastor; 7:45 p.m. "Getting ready for Christmas." by the pastor. night. Every member and friend is urged to bring a special thank offering of 50 Cents or over. I was glat when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord; my feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem! All are welcome. Special music by the Choir. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH F. C. Cothran, Pastor. Let each member of the church say in his heart with David of old. "I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord." Psa. 122:1 Health Authorities having taken down the prohibition tag, which hung on the doors, of the churches, for more than eight weeks, multitudes of those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, look with profound gratitude and happy anticipation, to the coming Lord's Day, when they can once more enjoy that incomparable and most sacred heritage of public worship, in the church houses dedicated to God for the specific purpose. For such worship there is not, nor can there ever be, a substitute. This long cessation of these who represent the worshippers of God, did not come of "Flu" tear so much, as of obedience to the powers that be." Romans 13:1. Christians should get the example in maters prudent. We would say to all members of Birch St. Christian Church, we congratulate you for your thoughtfulness in laying aside your usual offering, that we may replenish our greatly depleted treasury. Bible School at 9:15 a.m.; Young' Peoples' Christian Endeavor at 6 p.m.; Preaching 11 a.m., subject: "The Old Gospel and the New Age," 7:30 p.m., "The Proper Conception of the Church." We desire to make this opening a special day in our church. Rev. Archie J. Williams, Pastor. Trinity Baptist Church will celebrate its first anniversary. Sunday, December 8th. Rev. R. N. Holt will preach at 3 o'Clock. Come out and see what we have done during our first year. The pastor will preach at the morning and evening services. Morning: "An Intelligent Thanksgiving—an expression of sanctified emotion based upon sanctified thought," Ps. 103. Evening: "Confidence in God," Ps. 27, Good music.

Tillman will preach in Long Beach, and a large number of the Friendship members will go along with him and worship also. The Rev. Tillman is especially anxious that as many of the Choir go as possible and sing for the little church down there which will be greatly appreciated by them. with guns to of Los Angles We would the Los Angles that are in the fantasy march geles when they Letters from nolls and of fantasy; also of the Burger Preparations are going forward for the "Coming of Peace" pageant that is to be celebrated in Pasadena at the Tournament Park, and is to be participated in by all the people.

Although the Flu has been very prevalent among the colored people of Pasadena as yet there has been no deaths resulting from the epidemic. Mrs. S. B.

Written by W. J. Wheaton. THE CALL OF AFRICA. Will we have the courage to adventure? The thought was raised in my mind by the following press dispatch. Negro Students Asked To Serve Africa "Hundreds of Negro students in Methodist theological seminaries throughout the United States have been invited by J. N. Ruffin, a member of the London chamber of commerce, to volunteer as missionaries for the Christialization of the Hottentots Hereros, and the black tribes in former German colonies in south west Africa. his full height, he said, "Young man I may not live to see it, you probably will, when the young black men who are gaining wisdom and knowledge in our institutions of learning, will hurry over the seas at Ethiopia's call and plant the light of redemption on the soil of their forefathers. Africa. God so wills and He will not be denied." This worlds war has brought numerous changes in the attitude of nations. Africa has sent her sons to battle alongside the sons of France. Already the French government is len The British government stands ready to finance educated American Negroes who would go to AAfrica and and he]p to enlighten and uplift the blacks there, who have impoverished and weakened as the result of German mis-rule". Who but the black man should carry Christianization to the land of their ancestors? Who by setiment, by the ties which bind races of like blood, should take to the oppressed, benighted people of Africa the light of civilization? The answer is obvious - the educated American Negro. The world shudders now when the atrocities committed by the Germans against the Hereros and in the Cameroons are brought to light. The wholesale massacres; The mutilation of litt]e black children; the involution of the native women and young girls by the exponents of German "Kultur" form a part of the worlds history that will never be recorded because of it's very frightfulness. It to these suffering people, suffering from the years of miracle, that these, young men of the race who are fitting themselves to aid and uplift, are asked to carry the torch of enlightment and unfurl the banner of Christian democracy. Are they ready for the great adventure? Let it be hoped that as they so valiantly answered the call to uphold the tennents of a world wide democracy on the battlefields mid scenes of carnage, that they will answer to the call for the civilization of ohr black kindred. Are we going to feel secure in a victory which does not bring the fundamental truths of world democracy home to all of the people, people of every clime creed and race? If so then the long oppressed tribes of Africa must be brought to the realization of the great benefits of civilized cohesion, and which end no young man could more gloriously dedicate his life. Oftentimes I think that the prophecy of bishop Turner will come true. It has been a generation ago, the writer then a cub on the Pittsburg Daily Dispatch, was sent out to interview the distinguished prelate who was in the city to deliver a lecture on Africa. When the conversation turned to the possibilities of the civilization of the continent, he, the Bishop became enthusiastic. The towering mountains; fertile valleys; swift, rushing rivers, and wonderful resources of the dark continent, were vividly portrayed. But when we were ready to depart, he placed his hand on my shoulder, drawing himself to PAGE EIGHT --- with guns to appear on the streets of Los Angeles since the war began. We would be very glad to see all the Los Angeles and Pasadena boys that are in the 365th and 367th Infantry march the streets of Los Angeles when they return home. Letters from Sergt. Raoul T. Reynolds and others of the 365th Infantry; also from Sergt. Wm. Miller of the Buffaloes 367th, have been received during the last week, but all were written before the long-hoped for 11th of November. Some were written on the 3rd some on the 7th, but we are told that Sergt. Miller's was written on the 11th, but contained no information that he knew of the signing of the Armistice. It contained a substancial amount in a money order as a Christmas present for his mother, showing that his heart was in the right place at any rate. We are still expecting letters written after the 11th very soon. The hunting party, consisting of Mr. Russell Grant, as the driver of the big car, and Messrs. Mills, Harrison, Lawson, Fleming, Jones, Lawery and Reynolds, that journeyed to Corona and out among the hills, was a very delightful outing. The Nimrods did plenty of shooting, showing that their guns and powder was alright at any rate; they also brought back 16 rabbits and quite a few quails to show for the enormous amount of powder burned, also gasoline. They plan another trip some time in the holidays. his full height, he said, "Young man I may not live to see it, you probably will, when the young black men who are gaining wisdom and knowledge in our institutions of learning, will hurry over the seas at Etheopia's call and plant the light of redemption on the soil of their forefathers, Africa.

Already the French government is lanning to give her African subjects a greater latitude in the affairs of government. Liberia asks for a place at the peace table as one of the Allies who suffered at the hands of German encroachment. This may be the first step toward African redemption. The first ray of the dawn of her future greatness among the nations of the earth. If nations are to be formed, along the lines of racial affiliation, if it is Asia to be governed by Asiatics and the geographical realignment is to be made on racial grounds, then let us have Africa for the Africans. Col. Charles B. Young who made a study of Africa and it's tribal relations while organizing the Liberian constabulary is being mentioned very frequently as a representative of the African Republic at the Peace conference. Let us hope that the rumor is to become a reality, it will be an incentive for the young and educated American Negro to venture out, to pioneer the way to African greatness. We have proven that we are valorous in the upholding of the ideals of right, may we as zealous in the sacrifice of all things that would hinder justice and opportunity for benighted Africa.

With these evils cast into the sea of objection with the same mill-stone fastened on these crimes as they would fasten on the necks of innocent Negroes then there will be no more complaining. For the Lion and Lamb shall lie down together. We expect the white man to use some Negroes as stool pigeons in an effort to retard our progress. But our watchword shall be, "Forward March." We shall erase the hand-writing from the wall. And insert our motto, on tablets of stone forgetting the past, as best we can and thinking only of the coming new morn. In conclusion I appeal to you, fair Caucasians, you that have known no slavery since the days of Moses, both here and elsewhere for only a fair chance for the Negro. Not social equality, for some members of your fair race would be just as objectionable to members of my race, as the Negro would be to some members of your race. But only for equal chances when the test has been applied and the countersign of efficiency has been stamped, recognizing his ability to measure arms with other races of the globe. I appeal to you, you the givers and interpreters of the law for only respect for our females that first respect themselves. I appeal to you, the lawmakes of constitutional conventions, that have robbed the Negro of the sacred right of franchises, to restore to him the ballot. For you have found it just as expensive to buy white votes, or more so, than the Negro votes. I appeal to you, my white brother, to divorce yourself from the idea that the Negro is only suitable as hewers of wood and tillers of soil. I appeal to you, the operators of America's industry that the Negro be allowed to remain on the job, when his services are satisfactory and not discharge him because a member of the other race cries out, "I am a white man." I appeal to you fo the unity of all races living under the blue canopy of God's sky, for an exchange of brotherly love and confidence. I appeal to you lastly, for unity and benevolence, and for a lasting peace. The sweet peace, the gift of God's love. That which passeth all understanding. That for which millions have gone the way where no traveler has yet returned. That peace which robbed Autocracy of its poisoned fangs and has established Democracy among the children of God.
