THE NEGRO IN THE WORLD WAR Rev. James Francis, Pastor of the First Baptist Church, and admittedly the greatest Pulpeteer and Lecturer in Los Angeles. A man that regards not the mere color of one's skin nor race distinction with a view to discrimination, has arranged with Dr. Prwod, to tell the public of Los Angeles what the Colored Soldiers have done in France, in his great Lecturee—"The Negro in the World War." Dr. Francis thought at first to give the Lecture in one of the Colored churches, but considering anyone of them too small, he next considered the Shrine Audortium, but as that could not be gotten for less than $250 he and his large hearted Trustees most graciously agreed to open the doors of their own Church to the public—but especially for the benefit of the Colored people—Friday Evening, March 14th, at 8 O'clock. Every colored person in the city will appreciate Dr. Francis' magnamous spirit, when they know that he has engagements every night for the next four-months, but has reserved the night of the 14th to tell the deeds of loyalty, bravery and heroism of the Colored Soldiers Dr. Francis brings firsthand news he having been on the spot and seen things as they occurred—looked at them through the eyes of justice and fairplay, and will now tell us the truth about our colored boys. --- Dr. Prowd will bring up the matter at the Interdenominational Minister's Alliance on Monday morning at the Colored Y. M. C. A. at 11 O'clock, and the presence at this meeting of all leaders of the race, will be appreciated for concerted arrangements. All our Ministers are requested to announce from their pulpite from now on, the Lecture by Dr. Francis, at the First Baptist Church, Flower-Between 7th and 8th Sts. MARCH 14TH.

BLACK SHIPS IN THE U. S. NAVY. Negro Comamnders, Ensigns, Solution of the Race Question. Over 300,000 members of our Race have or are now sharing the glory and honor that is bestowed upon the two million Americans who did such noble work on the battlefields of France and in the periled war zones during this world-wide struggle for Democracy. These black boys have gained untold recognition besides special mention for their splendid service by our French and English Allies. Everything possible has been done to boost their progress and welfare. A special representative has been safe-guarding their success in the War Department. How about the 3000 Negro boys in the U. S. Navy? Has anything been done to help them? Is anyone safe-guarding their success in the Navy Department? No. Nothing is done to help them whatever. They have had to fight their own battles alone, and yes, they have fought good and hard. Just like their brothers in the Army, they have rendered valent service, and their brilliant deeds of bravery and valor has caused them to become a problem to the Navy Department. Our boys have displayed the natural intelligence and efficiency so conspicuously on more than one occasion that they must be considered, and are being considered. "Black SMps" might solve, in a very short time, the entire Rage questionin the U. S. Navy, is a recent version expressed by members in the service. During the Taft administration, while the Hon. Geo. Ven L. Meyer was Secretary of the Navy, a bill was introduced by a certain Southern representative providing for certain ships of the Navy to be assigned to Negroes. The majority of the officers and a still greater number of the enlisted men (both white and black), were in favor of the bill, but it was rejected. It was branded as impracticable. The idea of "Black Ships" does not carry with it the idea that our boys are not wanted in the Navy, but as a copy from the success in the Army of our black regiments, who have their black Colonels, Majors, Captains, Lieutenants, and so on down the ranks. Why can't we have black Commanders, Lieutenants, Ensigns, and petty officers in the Navy? We have men who have rendered efficient service in the Navy and have the necessary brians and skill and experience, but are denied the opportunity.

Take for instance the records of John Jordan, a Negro of Virginia, who was chief gunner's mate on the U. S. S. Olympic during the Spanish-American war and was the man who fired the first shot at the enemy at Manila Bay; Salisbury Brooks, a Negro chief electrician, whose inventions made a new epoch in the construction of modern battleships; Mathew Anderson, a Negro who is chief instructor on the U. S. S. Essex, the Government's training ship at Norfolk. He has trained thousands of men, now officers, the art of seamanship. There are, hundreds of men like these men who could easily form the nucleus crews and absolute success would be obtained. In a recent issue of "Our Navy" a thoughtful writer expresses the opinion of the enlisted men in general now in the services: Sheiker you like the black man or not, whether you believe in a square deal for him or not you can't point an accusing finger at his patriotism, his Americanism or his fighting ability. It is fair to neither the white man or the black man to have the black man compete with the white man in the Navy. True we have black petty officers here and there in the Navy, and in many cases black chief petty officers. It stands to reason that they must have been mighty good men to advance. They surely must have known their business—every inch of it—to advance to these ratings. Yet they are not wanted in these ratings because these ratings involve the black man having charge of white men under him. Outside of the messman branch you will find comparatively few negroes in the Navy today. We would THE LEADING RACE JO IN RDAY FEBRUARY 2 IST d Th GOVERNMENT O P W. J. V like to see the black man get everything coming his way, providing he wins it on his merits alone, (which he usually does). There should be black ships assigned to be manned by American negroes. These days of democracy, equality and freedom says this writer of our Navy magazine, if a man is good enough to go "over the top" for these principles he is good enough to be promoted in the Navy. Why not try it? Put the black men on their own ships, promote them, rate them, just the same as the white man. But above all keep them on their own ships. It is fair to them and fair to the white man. The Bulgarian and Argentine Navies have "black ship." The black sailor man has been pleading for years that his color has been a bar to him. Here would be his chance, a ship of his own. Then he would pitch in and do all within his power to make it a success. The white man has the confidence in him that he will make good. All members of First A. M. E. Church, Cor. 8th and Towne Ave., Rev. J.

A Pan-American Congress is to assemble in Paris on February 19 for a three-day session, with the declared purpose of securing the protection of the natives of Africa and the people of African descent in other countries. Fifty delegates will attend, representing the United tates, the West Indies, South and Central America, Africa, Great Britain, Portugal, France, Liberia, and Abyssinia. "Associated Press" On reading Article 19 in the plan of the text of the League of Nations, as reported by the committee at the plenary session of the peace conference, we find that a provision has been made for a mandatory form of government for those races and nations that the associated powers term "backward peoples." It states that the character of the mandate should differ according to the state of the development of the people, the geographical situation of the territory, its economic conditions and other similar circumstances. It makes partial exception for certain communities, formerly belonging to the Turkish empire, and whom it is claimed, need only the rendering of advice toward their development until such time as they are able to stand alone. Then it goes on to read that "other peoples, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage that the mandatory must be responsible for the administration of the territory, subject to conditions only to the maintenance of public order and morals, the prohibition of the slave trade, traffic in arms, the liquor traffic, the prevention of the establishment of fortifications or military or naval bases, and of military training of the natives for other than police purposes, and the defense of territory and will also secure equal opportunities for the trade and commerce for other members of the league." It singles out other territories such as Southwest Africa, which was formerly a German colony, and certain of the south Pacific islands, as portions that could best be administered under the laws of the mandatory state as integral portions thereof. Now as the races and nations affected by this clause creating a government by mandate, is of the darker peoples, why should not their development and the development of their countries, be placed in the hands, and directed by competent men of like color? Why should not the welfare of those millions be given to the keeping of men who have a kindred sympathy and who would not exploit them, for personal gain, whose greatest desire would be to unfold and develop the amouldering desire for progress, so long kept under subjection by the dominance of other races, whose ambition was to enslave the untutored native for the sole purpose of self enrichment. To them, the development of the country, the awakening of the desire for advancement in the native, or the teaching of the modes of civilized living, were things to be frowned upon. They sought to control by acts of cruelty that engendered fear. They crushed with a ruthless heat of iron every trace of manhood. They drenched and drowned in blood the least spark that savored of independence. If an outraged world was forced to take cognisance of the unwonted cruelties; men under the gaze of missionaries, with the Bible in one hand --- a bottle of rum in the other, were sent into the countries set for despilation, and when the fiery demon had crazed the natives and caused a bestial orgy, the rain of death began once more, and the world was quilted by the stories that it was necessary for the subjection of the savages whose thirst for blood would have otherwise detered the plan of Christian civilization. It is not so much a question of nationalism that gives us such grave concern, nor is it a matter of political strife, but, it is a crying need for mutual understanding of the races. When the question of the darker peoples waes brought forward by Japan, the matter was dropped without debate. The subject was deemed too broad in its scope; too frought with dangerous breakers which would menace the smooth and safe voyage of the peace ship. And yet, no greater or more potent question argues for the safety of the world's peace. In the amity of races as well as of nations lies the road to permanent peace. Therefore as the future development of the darker races are to be placed under mandatory government, we claim that that government should be administered by men who would be in full sympathy with the governed. Those men capable and fully equipped for the task, can be found, either in the United States, Great Britain's Empire, France and many other countries where black men have reached the highest development of culture, and an obsolete knowledge of world affairs. If it is the sincere wish, and not the hypocritical mouthings, that the fullest opportunities be given to the black in Africa and other countries, then, let the appointing powers select Negroes to govern Negroes and place them on the right road for Christian civilization. POLLYANNA GIRLS SEE THE PLAY POLLYANNA On Monday evening last the Pollyanna girls went in a body to see the play "Pollyanna" at the Mason Opera House. Each of the members thoroughly enjoyed the production, and now they are all "glad." At the last meeting of the Pollyanna Club, which was held at the home of Miss Juanita Patton, a most enjoyable program was rendered. Mme. Burrell of Washington, D. C., who was a visitor to the Club, sang two songs and gave a very interesting and instructive talk. Mme. Burrell is an experienced school teacher of Washington, and she praised the Club to the highest for the work they are doing along musical and literary lines. Miss M. Owens and Mr. and Miss I. H. Browning were also visitors. Miss Owens gave a very good talk on Negro music. Mr. Browning favored the Club girls by singing two songs. These numbers, which were so well rendered, showed the Pollyanna girls, who are presenting Mr. Browning in recital on March 17th at Blanchard Hall, that Mr. Browning is an artist in every sense of the word. LET US MAKE LOS ANGELES SING And the Walls of Trinity Ring! It is possible, with the wonderful talent in our midst. Why, one rarely ever can find a Colored person that cannot sing.

The 187th anniversary of George Washington's birthday is being celebrated today. Washington, the successful builder of a Nation, gave voice to rules for personal and national success which are as applicable in this 1919 year of necessary thrift as in his day. Here are some of his words on the use of money and resources that might have been written for the present situation in America: I am no more disposed to squander than to stint. Economy makes happy homes and sound nations. Instill it deep. It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest. I cannot enjoin too strongly upon you a due observance of economy and frugality. Keep an account book and enter therein every farthing of your receipts and expenditures. Promote frugality and industry by example, encourage manufactures and avoid dissipation. Reason, too late perhaps, may convince you of the folly of misspending time. There is no proverb in the whole catalogue of them more true than a penny saved is a penny got. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and fragility are necessary to make us a great and happy nation. These statements by George Washington as to wise personal economy might be paraphrased today in the injunction of the National Thrift campaign—spend wisely, save intelligently, avoid waste—and invest safely; buy War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps, What the Churches are Doing --- SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH 740 Maple Ave. The home department of our Sunday School, under Sister Evans, made a goo, showing last Sunday. From one family, some five children, were brought in by our sister and there are others to follow. The lesson was very able driven home by Sister Fields, the State president of our Sunday School, work. All who heard Mrs. Fields were delighted. The Church enjoyed much of the Master's presence and blessing at the eleven o'clock service. The text was Acts, xxii.19, "Why Tarriest Thou?" Arise and be baptised and wash away thy sins. The whole gospel was presented and the faithful of the Lord enjoyed it. The Young People had their usual meeting in the evening and a profitable program was carried out. At night the Rev. Bro. Shipley preached for us, and his message was well received. Our sympathy with our brother, Hubert, and relatives in the death of his mother is deep and sincere. May the Lord comfort them in the dark hour. The pastor paid a visit to Covina on Tuesday to comfort Brother and Sister Greenbury, who were recently very ill. Be sure to be out on Sunday. The pastor will have a special message. The Executive Board and the Board of Directions will meet at our Church Tuesday and Wednesday, the 25th and 26th. Let all take notice. Let all the colored people keep the following in mind: The Rev. Dr. Jas. Franics of the First Baptist Church will give a lecture on "The Negro in the European War," Friday night, March 14th. The lecture is being given at Dr. Prowd's request that we hear the true story of the colored man's part over there, and Dr. Francis who was on the spot, is just the man to tell us. Let all who can sing among our people, prepare for a call to be there. We urge every minister to give out this notice, and others, that will follow.

That the Holy Ghost sanction the work at St. Paul is evidenced by the high spirit which prevails in all services, and the "adding to the Church daily such as should be saved." Last Sunday was another of those "high days in Zion." Pastor Holt was at his best, and those who listened to the 11 o'clock sermon will never forget the time and the subject, "I Know that My Redeemer Liveth."—Job. 19-25. After swaying the congregation with a pointy and forceful persuasion, the effects of which was in evidence, he exhorted those who were unsaved to come and experience the power of this living Christ. Two happy souls came forward and joined the heavenly procession. The B. Y. P. U. was well attended. Bro. Dones came by on special mission. Much interest was manifested in the subject of the evening. Offering in B. Y. P. U., $6.35. At 7:30 Pastor Holt came with another of those awakening sermons and, seemingly, forgot himself while the Spirit used him to the lifting of this people. Text: "Eye hath not seen, ear hath not heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, the things that God hath prepared for those that love Him."—Cor. 2-9. An old-time shouting service marked the close of this pleasant day. Five persons were fellowshipped.

WARD CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 1854 Channing St. Rev. J. W. Price, Pastor. The services at this Church on the past Sabbath were very much enjoyed by two splendid congregations, who worshipped here. Bro. Robert True, the Evangelist, preached at the 11 o'clock service. The text was found in Rev. 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and die with Me." Everyone went away rejoicing and said they were glad they had come out to the house of the Lord. Did not our hearts burn within us while we listened to the words of our blessed Lord. We want to thank Prof. Greene and Mrs. Bradley for the beautiful song and music rendered in our Choir Sunday morning. There was one accession to the Church membership. At the evening hour, Rev. Robert Jones preached, and another spiritual feast was enjoyed by all. We were glad to note the number of visitors at both services. The Men's Progressive Club is wide awake to every good movement toward the uplift up of humanity. The work of the joint session of Congress closed with credit to the organization. Many souls were made to rejoice during it session. The evening was set apart from the regular weekly program to commemorate the past life of Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest statesman the world has ever known. Indeed, we have lost a friend. You who were not present missed a historical treat, for it was, indeed, a great evening at Ward Chapel Speakers of the evening, who dealt with ancient and modern history of past rulers, exalted the name of Theodore Roosevelt above them all. BIRCH ST. CHRISTIAN CHURCH. T. C. Cothran, Pastor. The Christian Race was vividly and beautifully presented by the pastor at the 11 o'clock services on last Lord's Day, and we all enjoyed a spiritual feast. He directed our attention to Heb. 12:1-2. "Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which dooth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, booking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith." The program for Roosevelt Memorial is completed and the public is cordially invited to hear the following men at Birch St. Christian Church on Monday night, Feb. 24th, in their eulogies upon the life of one of the greatest Presidents, of whom it can truly be said that he was the Negroe's friend.

THE PEOPLES NIDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST (Cons $2500 Beloque Ave.) Two magnificent audiences enjoyed the services at the People's Independent Church on last Sunday. At the morning session, Pastor Greggs spoke on the subject, "Untuned Hearts." He gave a very beautiful and logical comparison of the harmony of musical organizations with that of hearts that are in tune with God. In the evening the pastor used as his topic, "The Guest Chamber." In this sermon he appealed to his hearers to keep room in their hearts for the dwelling of Christ. The music by the Choir was especially good and inspiring. That the excellent work by the Choir is being appreciated was again demonstrated last Tuesday evening when the Choir was sumptuously en tertained by Measrs. Mendenhall, Payne and Orsborne.

Milton Mickens, pastor. There is a movement on to establish an auxiliary to the Foresters among the ladies here. The authority coming up from Oakland. A nine-pound baby boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Brunson on Feb. 13. Mother and baby have the best wishes of their many friends. Mrs. Gussie Eldridge had the misfortune to have a machine needle run through her finger, causing the use of an X-Ray and suffering severely. Mrs. L. Allen is spending an indefinite time visiting her mother in Monterey. Mrs. P. F. O'Reilly and sons, Byron and Bob, motored to Marysville Monday to attend the dance. The trip was most delightful, the heavy rain storm overtaking them at Roseville, and added new pleasure. They returned on Tuesday in good shape, after enjoying the delightful affair and meeting many friends from other parts who had journeyed to Marysville for the occasion. Others who attended the dance from this section were Mr. and Mrs. C. Boyd, Miss Ethel Goodman, Miss Anita Page, Mr. Clyde Ray, Mr. Lesley Flood, Messrs. Eugene and Will Page. Misses Raimus and brother of Woodland motored over to Sacramento and were joined by Miss Page and Mr. Ray and continued the trip to Marysville. Mr. Monroe, an old resident of Sacramento, who has been living for some time in Oakland, was in the city looking for a location to move his family and business back to his old home. We welcome him home. Mr. Charlie Mansfield of Woodland spent Sunday visiting Miss Naomi Brown. Mrs. Fred Hays accidentally slipped and fell on the floor, which was wet, and caused the fall, injuring her back. She is now in Woodland with her mother until she has recovered. Reservations for the Assemblyman Roberts' banquet for out-of-town guests are crowding in. Only one more day. Don't be left out. Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson has just brought suit in the Superior Court for $15,000 damages from R. Rosenberg & Sons, who ran her down with an automobile while she was walking across the street at 9th and P Sts. on Feb. 20, 1918, and caused injuries which she still suffers. Misses Flora and Anita Page, M. Cummings and Papline Ray have planned a most enjoyable entertainment for their guests from Vallejo, who will spend the holidays in town. The gentlemen to be entertained are Messrs Ransom, Tingle, Jackson and others. A dancing house party at the home of the Misses Page on Saturday evening will begin the program. On Sunday this happy group will motor to Woodland and visit friends. On Monday afternoon a matinee party will be the diersion, after which the honored guests will leave for their homes delighted with the rounds of joy afforded them by these congenial young ladies. Legislation directed against drawing a color line was introduced by Assemblyman Frederick M. Roberts, the first Negro legislator in the State, who would make it a misdemeanor for any house of amusement or enter- tainment, hotel on the like, to discriminate against a citizen because of color. The law amends one already on the books, but changes the word "person" to "citizen," and adds public conveyances, such as traing, boats, etc., to the list. It doubles the former penalty for violation and provides also against advertising that persons shall not be welcome on account of their color. This is Assembly Bill No. 693. Albert A. Kosenshine of San Francisco county has Assembly Bills Nos. 760 and 762 along similar lines. Senator A. P. Anderson of Alameda county, in Senate Bill No. 179, would make 'it a misdemeanor to show any picture, produce any play, or advertise anything tending to incite Race hatred. POMONA NEWS. Rev. J. B. Baugh, minister of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, gave an excellent sermon to a large congregation on last Sunday. The colored people of Pomona are progressing in that there are now two colored laundries owned and operated by Mrs. H. Marks and Miss Baugh. They have the electric power and are able to turn work out at an advantage. We wish for these ladies much success. Miss Lucile Marks entertained informally Sunday, having guests also from Riverside. Miss Florence Marks makes a very efficient clerk for the Baptist Church. We are delighted to see our young people so active in Church work. Mrs. Malinda Brown, better known as "Mother Brown," has returned, after a ten day's visit to Ontario. Mrs. Roger Young is now enjoying the very best o thealth.

Among ‘other things in the making, will be a big State gathering at the Capital of which the publie will be made acquainted in our next issue. The great get-together meet- ing is scheduled for Saturday evening at the Y. M.C.

So by all means join in with the movement and attend this meeting Saturday night. The good work being accom- plished by Policewoman Rob- inson is to be commended, her work in the recent Central Ave. episode, where two mere girls were found in a Rooming House and had been lured there by two grown men, was indeed worthy offort. Too much praise cannot be given her fo1 her good service in behalf of law and order. SEY We understand that she is over-worked and really we can- rot see why she should not be the reat territory which is as mienedioher: s —The naming of Hon. Stanley W. Benedict to a Commission- ership on the State Board of Control, is a happy selection. Mr. Benedict not only has the experience gained by serving a number of years on import- ant Senate Committees, but as a lawyer experienced in hand- Jing large business propositions most successfully. Mr. Bene- dict as a member of the bo: of Directors of that greqtcor: poration known as the Site of California, will prove a genuine acquisition of importance in the management of the busi. ness of the affairs of the State. The presence of Mr. Harley W. Brundige on the State Rail- road Commission is a decided gain for the people of this State. Mre Brundidge has made a study of the proper handling of the gigantic public utilities of this State, and more than any single man of the Commis- sion, has influenced its policy along equitable lines both fo the people a nd the investors the effective promotion of pub lie service.

P. EN- ‘GAGES IN A GREAT WORK. | The N. A. A. C. B. endorses the work of the Colored War History Committee is the latest pleasant news brought to Cali- fornia by letter addressed Mrs. Beattice Thompson, the able Secretary of the Los Angeles Branch of the gréat race or- ganization; also Secretary of Los Angeles Colored War His. tory Committee, from, Mr. John R. Shillady, Secretary of the National organization. The N. A. A. C. P. rightly realizes that a War History of the race's war activities in this great war recently closed, means that we must get buay planning for a true world’s democracy, and war history of our activities will be an argument for the American Negro’s share in Mr. Edward A. Dickson who has a vision for this race’s ul- timate success, not satis.ed with giving us an opportunity to go into the war records of our state as we would ourselves go, on his own initiative wrote the N. A. A.C. P's, Secretary, Mr. Shillady, for that organiza- |tion’s cooperation and he gain- led its distinguished active ser- vice. This copoperation has al. ready taken active form, as Mrs. Thompson was furnished with the following list of N. A. A. C. P. Secretaries in Califor. nia and advised to write them acquainting them with the ac- tion in this instance of the Asso- ciation: Mrs. H, E. DeHart, Secretary Northern California Branches, Oakland ; Miss Clara B. Howard, Bakersfield; Mr. Percy Carter, Secretary, Riv- erside; Mrs, J. W. Scott, Sec- retary, Sacramento; Mr. F. W. Smith, Secretary, San Jose ; Mr, A. L. Reese, Secretary, Santa Monica Bay Branch; Mr. F. D. Clotton, Secretary, Vallejo and Mrs. Beatrice Thompson, Angeles. Chairman Dickson of _ the California War History Com- mittee has given a new - and powerful impetus to the Color- ed People getting into the war records of their State we should asa_ race be duly appreciative of his disinterested efforts in our behalf and the N. A. A. C. P. deserves what it will get, an increased membership in the State of California.

Prussianism shorn of its power, was being strip ped, bit by bit of all that was once her pride and glory. Stripped of al ‘her implements that had made her |the most feared and unexcelled form of government in the world, a veri- ‘table fighting machine.

The victorious nations. vying with each other in the celebration of the ‘most triumphant peace the world has jever known, stood ready to extend }s, helping Rand to all oppressed na tions of the land. Even the hostile foe was being considered in the great eague of nations, that was to be banded together for the policing of the world. and arrangements were be- ing made to transport food into the ‘country that had robbed womanhood of her. virtue, murdered helpless ‘babes, aikd unsexed allied manhood to [prevent the further regeneration of ‘the world from a standpoint of any- thing that was not Hun. | Arangemeats were being made to ‘bring back to America the vast Army [of troops that have been sent over- seas to crush the ignominious tyrant. who had been branded the vilest crea- ‘ture that the world has ever pro- duced.

Wilhelm’s subjects were told that it was impossible. That such an accomplishment was beyond allied attempts. His U-Boats were prepar- ed to sink ships as fast as they left their ports.

Her ‘doors havo been thrown open to the rest ef the world, a refuge from ty- ranny, a solace for the dow trodden. | On one of the ships that had been designated as a troop transport for Yankee soldiers, sat a group of young neseclate happy at the prospect of seeing once again thelr own Deloved ‘land, that land from whieh they had Fncen Gra treaie) remtanaeike previous’ ‘They jested, langped, sang. and reiat- yes different experiences in ‘No Man’s Land.” cach vying with the other im same dreadfe} trial thet one or the other had endured for the sake of world liberty. Finally, ove young fellow, whose features bespoke the origin of foreign ancestry, became serious and said, “All of us in this immediate cirele are of alien extrac- tion. True, we are Americans, dat }the conmtries from which our ances- tors came are represented by es in ‘the United States, and we have fought im the American Army. Naturally. ‘we are interested ih thegfuture of the Countries from which’we Sprang. 2a what bearing will the Allied vic- tory have om us?” Each youth, ared with patriotism, agreed with cach othér as to the hereafter. The ver- dict UPPERMOST in each discussion was the freedom America offered -to all foreigners who would seek shel- ter in her hospitable land.

His [somrates inquired the reason for his pensive moood, and. nodding his head in the direction. a little away from the group, he replied, “Ever since we began this ‘argument. I have been watehing the | fellow sitting ver there.” Al eyes turned in the direc- tion mentivoned, and saw sitting to Bimself, in deep meditation, a young Negro in the uniform they all rep- resented. His dignified appearance, his splendid physique, his ebony hue, plainly bespoke that he was the clean cut new Negro, the new Negro who knows naught of intimidation, the mew Negro who had fought for the freedom of the world, and who was now ready to make his demands. He was a representative of twelve mil- lion black souls, who are the main- stay of the American nation. The first spokesman said. “I won- der what the Negro is thinking? Sup- pose we ask him and find out where he is.” Suiting hit action to the word| he queried of the black man as to| his thoughts. Stalwart and manly, he black soldier rose. and walking to- ward his questioner he replied “That's just it. What is the Negro thinking? What are 12 million of us revolving in our minds?

That is what the Negro is thinking, and will continue to think until wroags toward us are righted and we are ‘given a political and not a social de- mocracy for which we are not aspir- ing.” And quietly he walked away, leaving his listeners to discues the future of the American Negro, for no one knows better the stuf that the real Negro is made of than bis white comrades who fought beside him. —MARGUERITE BENSTON-EVANS.

Pasadena has a number of colored women caterers who are rushed to their limit to take care the many demands on them for their services, and they are using many women and men to assist them in their work. The spring city primaries are drawing near and it is hoped that the people of Pasadena will decide when they go to the polls that no person is worthy of holding public office who is prejudiced toward any part of the public whom they are to serve. No person can carry out the oath of office which they take, when they assume the duties of that office if they are looking at part of the people through prejudiced eyes, when they have promised to sere the public faithfully and impartially. We hope to see only broad and fair-minded men or women, who are really big enough for the position they seek. This kind, and this kind only, should be placed in the city positions. Services at the Friendship Baptist Church last Sunday were well attended and very interesting. At 9:30 a.m. an increased attendance over the previous Sunday greeted Supt. Ralph Troy, and a very beneficial study of the Ten Commandments, which was the Lesson subject, wa senthusiasitically engaged in, followed by a very exhaustive review by Bro. A. H. Evans, the Historian. At 11 o'clock a large congregation was present, among whom were many visitors from Los Angeles, including Mrs. F. A. L. Gordon, Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Harris, Mrs. Goodwine, Miss Herring and Miss Irma Fields, all fro mTabernacle Baptist. 一 Mrs. Gordon, Miss Fields and Miss Estella Sumner were house guesss of Mrs. S. B. Strickland at her home on Worcester Ave, and stayed over from Saturday night; the others, after attending the morning service at Friendship, went out for dinner with Mrs. Strickland. Many other winter visitors in the city were visitors at the morning service. After the opening song and praise service conducted by Sister I. H. Ford, the pastor, Rev. W. H. Tillman preached a most edifying sermon from the Sunday School lesson, subject, "The Ten Commandments," by request of the Sunday School Superintendent. Everyone went away knowing a great deal more about the meaning of the ten commandments than eer before. At 3:30 o'clock p. m., the Baptist Sunday School Union of Los Angeles county met at the Friendship Baptist Church in their regular quarterly meeting, and from all over Los Angeles county listened to a very enjoyable program rendered by the different ongs sent up by their respective schools. The recitations by the little tota were very pleasing and the na- pers, vocal solos, duets and instrumental b ylarger ones were all that could be desired. After the program the newly elected officers of the Union were fittingly installed, by the Rev. W. H. Tillman. The Union had selected for their officers to pilot them for the next year as, follows: Bro. Lee Conney, Pres.; Mr. Wm. Mat Solomon, Vice-President; Sister S. B. Strickland, Recording Secretary; Miss Estelle Summers, Corresponding Secretary; Mr. J. D. Groves, Treasurer; Rev. A. L. Williams, Chorister. The following article on "Courtesy was submitted by W. H. Shores in competition for a cash prize at the Security Bank and at that time received much favorable comment. Courtesy is the compass of all business where the public is concerned. The let courtesy be shown to all who enter our place of business. I say our place of business because each employee should have enough interest in the welfare of the bank to feel himself a part of the business. The one who has no more interest than to get his pay check cashed is not worth much in a bank of this kind. This bank is on top of all its siva- l in this city, and many others as well. It is a big thing to be on top. The next thing is to stay there. "How to keep it there." It is very essential that each employee give the best that he or she in work, education, depe- tuation and militia. This gave a ,song At 6 o'clock p. m. the B. Y. F. U. hel dits usual interesting session. The devotionals were led by Sister R. A. Dent, and the study of the topic by divisions was very thorough and instructive. The program as usual, was very good, and a reading by a visiting young man was especially good. Although there was a special invitation by Dr. Freeman, pastor of the Pasadena Presbyterian Church, who has recently returned from France, where he was engaged in Y. M. C. A. work, to the colored people to hear him speak from the subject, "The Black Boys in Kahki," a number availed themselves of the opportunity to hear him. There was a large congregation assembled at the Church for the evening worship, and listened to a very interesting sermon by a white minister from the subject, "What Is In Thy Hand?" He beautifully brought to his hearers the many opportunities for doing many things which they think they are not capable, and showing them how to use the things they have for the benefit of humanity. Four persons were united to the Church during the day. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Gage, from Santa Barbara, were visitors at the Friendship Church at the evening service. They were guests of Mrs. Alice Overr, 254 Grove St. Judge and Mrs. O. O. Overr were dinner guests of Capt. and Mrs. Wm. Reynolds Sunday. The Young Women's Missionary Auxiliary of the Friendship Church held their regular meeting at the parsonage in the pastor's study. The Society is doing a great work in Pasadena, administering not only to the members of their immediate Church, but the sick and the needy of all the city. They do charity, as well as missionary work. Sister I. H. Ford, the organizer of the Society, was present and gave the Society a very encouraging talk on missions, and each one promised to do more this year than they have ever done before. The following were elected delegates to the Women's Convention, which meets at the 2nd Baptist Church, Los Angeles on Wednesday, Feb. 26th: Mrs. Ethel Smith, Secretary; Mrs. Virgie Corry, Treasurer of Foreign Missions; Mrs. Alice Over, Mrs. E. O. Solomon, and Mrs. M. E. Reynolds. METROPOLITAN BAPTIST. Rev. Mack Allen. Pastor. It is edifying, to say the least, and our service the entire day, was beyond our expectation. At 11 a. m. a full congregation gathered to hear the opening sermon on the series of masses. Among our visitors were Bro. Snowton, wife and daughter from Boston, Mass. At 3 p. m. Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Los Angeles, with two of his officials, preached a great sermon, which helped the Church in various ways. Our collection was $30. The members, as well as friends, were disappointed in the failure of the Ministers' Conference holding their session as had been arranged. The ladies' committee, Mrs. R. Calmore chairman, pulled off one of the finest receptions in honor of the pastor and members. We have every witness in the history of our Church, and a number of useful tokens were presented to the pastor as a real sign of sympathy, as well as expressing their appreciation for present services rendered. way in keeping on top. Keep sunshine in your face. It is catching. It will reflect to others. This combination with courtesy at the head is as a General leading an army on to victory. Let these be practised each day by all. Then being supported by the great fertil brain of the officers of this Bank who have stood at the helm and steered it out of the narrow stream into the deep and wide financial ocean until the Security Savings Bank is known North, South, East and West. With this one object in View, the watchword is "Security on Top." "Pull upward, not down." You have doubtless seen a basket of crabs. Take a lesson from them. The nature of the crab is to pull down the one that is on top. "Don't b a crab." This Bank is no exception to the rule. It is like everything else that has climbed to the heights of greatness until they have reached the topmost round. There are always some who would be glad to see it at the bottom. For no other reason than that it is "On the Top." There are many ways to act a erab. / There are many things that come under the observation of the employee that are turned down with a short answer, or with a look that sends the would-be customer and sometimes a customer away with the idea that this big Bank does not need their business. Whereas if the same question had been asked of an Officer of the Bank he would have been glad to explain, thereby creating a good feeling towards the one seeking information. Each employee should be just as willing to explain matters pertaining to the Bnak's business before or after banking hours as during banking hours if the opportunity presents itself. The officers have left this to the employees, believing that they will perform their duties well, while they look after the more important things. Then all working together with patience and hospitality along these liness the pulling will be upward daily in the interest of the Bank, and the highest pinnacle of efficiency will be reached. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers. The attraction of this bank have no equal in this city. First of all the management of this bank must be congratulated for not screening off the view of the public, as thousands pass dialy, looking through the great plate glass windows of this magnificent banking room. Seeing it as they do, it is like an open book to them. There are hundreds who are not satisfied with this alone, but have a great desire to know more of this great intitulation. On account of its easy approach from its five entrances they enter, and naturally they expect to find efficient service which would be in keeping with its surroundings. And it should be the desire of all to look out for strangers, meet them, get acquainted, and in a kind way give them such information as they wish to make them feel that this is the bank to do business with, invite them to look over the different departments. This alone is a great advertisement for the bank, as there are so many people that would be delighted to be shown through, but are not aware of the fact that they would be allowed the privilege, but when once this is done it is one thing that gives the stranger confidence. By this the bank has made a friends, and friends bring depositors. All can take a part in this invitation. The opportunity may come to the Teller's window sometime. If so, then see that someone shows them through. In this way much good can be accomplished and many will be added to the already long list of depositors. There cannot be too much courtesy shown to strangers. Sometimes it means thousands of dollars to the bank. Strangers coming into a bank of this kind expect to meet a "live wire," so to speak, and not a clam. They are found where there is more water, and not in a bank. The nature of the clam is to move slowly, and more or less shut up tight. Don't be a clam to the stranger. The little things are what count, and it depends largely as to how they are performed. Some-little things destroy big things. Little sticks of wood overload a horse. The torpedo boat sinks the big ship. See to it that no act on the part of any employee will bring reproach on the good name of this great institution, that has taken over twenty-five years to make it what it is today. "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." The old saying is, "Give a dog a bad name and you may as well hang him hifm." You have never seen him suck eggs, but the next door neighbor says he is guilty of it, therefore it is passed on down the line, and the dog might as well be dead. Push a small boat into mid-stream and it will float itself. Big things grow from small beginnings. From the acorn grows the big oak. From the mustard seed comes a great tree. Also from a small beginning the Security Trust and Sayings Bank has grown from a small bank to a giant in the financial world. There is a little inconvenience that all might become more interested in as complaints have been made at different times. A customer gets to the wrong window at times, and he is told to go to some other window. This can be easily adjusted if each one will give more attention to this, a little thing, as some see it. When in a few seconds a good nimble step would put the customer at the proper place and save him the embarrassment that it must be to a customer. As there are many windows in this big room a customer should not be allowed to wander around in order to locate the window at which he desired to transact business. Quick service is the life of any business.

With so many new ideas and good suggestions in the very brilliant letters that have been written and posted, up in the last few weeks, and with the new year ushering in, yes, even knocking at our door with much enthusiasm and with the garment of smiles, see to it that it does not wear off. A full story of this is worth much in business. You will find it worth your while just to give a pleasant smile. "Just keep smiling, just kepp smiling as you go." Let us lay aside that old garment known as "Grouch." See to it that it is eliminated from this banking room. Put in its place plenty of that disinfectant, a sweet and kindly disposition. Its stock is good business, and a good thing to use toward e each other. See that no customer leaves the bank with misunderstanding. Offtimes they think they know about certain things when they do not. Be patient with them, reason with them, and if this fails take them to some official. Don't let them leave dissatisfied. JOHN A.

SAN BERNARDINO NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH 7th and Harris Sts. G. W. Reed, Mn ister. New Hope Baptist Church enjoyed two great services last Sunday. The Sunday School was well attended; and the lessen highly interesting. The 11 o'clock services began with a great spiritual snap. Pastor Reed preached from Matt. 21:19. "And when He saw a big tree in the way, He came to it and found nothing thereon." He took as his theme, "A Worthless Christian," from which text and theme he preached a sermon long to be remembered by all who heard it. The B. Y. P. U. was largely attended. The topic was enthusiastically discussed by the young people, something out of the ordinary. Pastor Reed filled the pulpit at the evening service, at which time he preached from John 2:3. "Verily, TOMMY'S CAR Superior Equipment Means ECONOMY in SERVICE. We have the First and by years of Experience we are prepared to render the Second.

As was the morning message, equally so was the evening message. At the close of the sermon one came forward and joined the Church. This Church is increasing in membership each Sunday, for which God is praised. Quite a number of the members went to Riverside to attend the installation services of Rev. F. W. Cooper of the Second Baptist Church. Rev. and Mrs. S. W. Reed went to Redlands last Sunday afternoon on Sunday School business.

The address by A PORO CAREFUL ATT Mme. J. H. Cuffee. Pro SERVICE. We have the prepared to render the ily, we save you a few ars on an elaborate one ICE THE LOWEST of a Funeral Director, Call Pico 175 n Street, Los Angeles, California Attorney Jones was, indeed, very fine, and while I sat listening to every word, I could not but predict that a splendid future awaited him as a deep thinker of a splendid delivery, and a man who knew how to say things at the right time and place. I have all my life been puzzled to understand the form of religion that the white man practiced; his views and methods of dealing with the Negro people on the principles of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. In this, I have not been able to understand him as a class, hence you can appreciate with me and others present how much we enjoyed Judge Harlan G. Palmer's, address. All of us could but utter one prayer; that God would bless and preserve sucha fair-minded man of the white race, for they are few and far between. Had a curtain been drawn between the speaker and the audience, one could not have thought him other than the silkier-tongued Douglass himself. Oh, I wish I had words to tell you how much the people liked that excellent address by the Judge. We don't want to spoil things, but we hope through the Association to be favored with another opportunity to hear him. Yours truly. last Bush, my tailor, fashionable ladies by and gent's tailor, 9th and Hemlock.
