Dr. Locke on Race Riots Hear Dewey Johnson Monday Even Sept.15, at Blanchard Hall ESTABLISHED 1879 LEADING RACE JOURNAL THE LARGEST AND BEST PHONE MAIN 4485 VOLUME 33 Dr. Hear Dewey Sept. 15, Scarcely out of his teens, with his clear upward look; his unbounded faith in humanity; unquestionably sincere and untiring in his efforts to give to the public the best there is in him, and incidentally the very best recital that has been given by so young an artist, come Dewey Johnson. Fresh, too, this week from having carried by storm, the noble Order of Hiks (white, to the estimated number of 2,000) with his sweet, clear and at times almost passionate baritone. He is already pronounced by the most able critics on the Coast the coming baritone of his race. Mr. Johnson will give his farewell Recital at Blanhard Hall, Monday Evening, September 15, at 8.00 o'clock, preparatory to entering the New York Conservatory of Music for which point he is leaving about the 23rd inst. The recital is for the purpose of helping this young man complete his musical education. He has since the age of 11 years practically supported and educated himself, and every father, every mother, who hold rosy visions of the future for their young; every well wisher of the race; every Christian; every friend; every acquaintance; no matter how casual: owes it to himself and his God, to help this young man help himself, and at the same time secure for himself an evening's entertainment unrivaled for sweetness and rare in its purity. He will be assisted by Mr. James Warren, a coming Violinist and Miss Hazel Gottschalk, a young pianist who needs no introduction to her own Los Angeles, and accompanied by that peerless accompanist, Miss Fannie Wilson. No pains are being spared to make this recital the Fall's biggest event. Mr. Johnson fully expects and looks forward to doing his friends proud of him and to making warm-hearted well-wishers of the most skeptical. So your presence is earnestly, respectfully and sincerely solicited at the Dewey Johnson Recital. Remember the place and date— BLANCHARD HALL, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1919; 8.00 O'CLOCK. COLORED BUSINESS IN NEW ORLEANS (Vertner Lewis Gordon) The following information came to hand too late to be embodied in last week's Issue of The Eagle as I had intended, but may I trust that it will, however, be of interest. It will give a clearer idea of just how much business there is when you begin to hunt them up and of how much hustling there is among Colored folk in almost every line of business here, there, and everywhere that you find us. Other activities including schools are given also. 1. High School, McDonogh, 35; 15 public school; 1 library; 4 Universities supported by certain religious denominations, average salary teachers $40; 1 Y. M. C.

Two white insurance companies do o a world of business among the Color- w ad people and in some neighborhoods U The California Lagie you may see the agent go from door to door. Some of these agents are courteous, others very rude, actually becoming angry when there is no response to the vicious rap upon the door or in answer to the toot of a whistle some of them use. They practice this sort of thing where the patrons allow it and these same agents will be very respectful to persons who demand it, thus showing again that if you demand better treatment you are quite sure of getting it in many instances. The VIRGINIA and the METROPOLITAN in New Orleans are very popular among Colored people, both as you know are White companies. The two Colored companies are doing splendid business and extending their activities to the surrounding towns of Louisiana as well as in New Orleans. The Unity has branches in several sister states of Louisiana. The Colored people there are taking to the Colored Insurance more readily lately than in by-gone years but there have been so many instances of their being fledged by unscrupulous persons that they have feared to trust. These particular insurance companies, named People's and Unity, have made GOOD and are fast developing into sturdy organizations, in fact they are already strong organizations emplaying quite a few of our young people as clerks, stenographers, or as agents. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS- GREATEST OF ALL ORATORS HERE WEDNESDAY SEPT- TEMBER 24TH The people are preparing for a great treat when the greatest Roman of them all, in the person of the Hon. Roscoe Conkling Simmons will speak here at the Trinity Auditorium on September 24th under the auspices of The Women's Day Nursery of this city. Mr. Simmons comes fresh from mighty triumphs throughout the South and East, on Labor Day at New Orleans he spoke to 10,000 people and it was one continued ovation. He never halted for one moment but right in the heart of the Southland as no other man has done, he stood right on the toes of the white southerner and told him of the Negro. For the first time in history the Daily papers of New Orleans gave 3 and 4 columns to his effort and it indeed was an occasion never to be forgotten. This week Mr. Simmons will speak at the great Baptist Convention at Newark, N. J.; will come from there to Chicago and after a few days' rest will be joined by the Editor of this paper for his tour on the Pacific Coast. His first stop will be at Phoenix, Arizona on September 22; Los Angeles, on September 24th; Pasadena, September 25th; Riverside September 26th; El Centro, September 29th; San Diego, September 30th and then to Bakersfield, Oakland and other Northern points. SIMMONS STIRS THE SOUTH New Orleans, Sept. 10—Labor Day here was about the biggest day New Orleans ever had. Roscoe Simmons made a speech to thousands that was important not only because of the character of it, but because it was given wide publicity by the daily press. He spoke the platform of the Southern Negro and Southern dailies printed it. Lincoln League Gives $3500.00. In addition to this speech the work of the Lincoln League of America was endorsed in practical fashion. Under the guidance of Thos. P. Wood. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 land, president of the Longshoremen, the sum of $3500.00 was raised for the Lincoln League by the locals at the demonstration, and Chairman R. R. Church notified. Announcement was made at this demonstration of the postponement of the Convention of the Lincoln League to Lincoln's Birthday, February 12, 1920, and met with approval. The New Orleans Daily Item carried a three-column account of the meeting, Tuesday September 2. One sentence from Roscoe Simmon's speech has attracted wide discussion. It was: Is This Friendship? The Southern white man is our friend, so he says. Well, if so, why is it that he gives my children only three months at school and his son nine months. If he is our friend, why does he give us stone when we ask for bread, and make us pay taxes while denying us the right to vote. I say true friendship is made of different stuff. Dr. Charles Edward Locke The nation has been appalled at the recent outbursts of race prejudice in Washington, and Chicago, and elsewhere. The underlying cause of race riots is bitter and uncontrolled race prejudice. So long as the American Negro has been willing to remain passive while his political rights have been taken from him, and not to resent the inferior position to which the white man would reduce him, riots were more or less infrequent, but the war has changed the situation. There were more than 400,000 Negro soldiers and they fought nobly and heroically and were even awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French Government regardless of their color, and were honored and praised by the authorities at home. The Negro deserves sympathy and he has a right to a square deal. As long as the Negro endures indignities without resentment, as he was forced to do when he was a slave, there is peace, but just as soon as he justly retaliates on account of cruel impositions then rioting and violence result. Is it any wonder that the Negro has become sullen and vengeful when he is systematically excluded from his rights? The "Jim Crow" car all through the South and the refusal of the ballot to the Negro are constant sources of irritation, and the white race, which so loudly proclaims freedom and democracy, and yet deprives the Negro of his political privileges, is largely to blame for race riots. If the Negro was not so docile and forgiving the discrimination against him would have resulted long ago in tragical crisis. Even the black soldiers were required to ride in Jim Crow cars in the South when they were on their way to defend this country against the savage depredations of the Huns. The Negroes and their white friends resent this indignity. If a man is a patriot and a hero the color of his skin should not count against him. Of course there are some criminals among the Negroes; but could it be otherwise when they have been exploited by the whites about them; many of these criminals have as much white as dark blood. The crime of lynching is more brutalizing upon the white race than it is regarding to the colored race. Lynching does not lessen crime, but it infiltrates the whole Negro race. The DR. CHAS. EDWARD LOCKE white rascals who have assaulted Negro women and girls have written a far blacker chapter in the history of criminality. While the Negro race is not free from blame for race rioting, yet the white people are far more culpable and responsible, because we are the dominant race and supposed to be more highly educated. The black man is just as truly an American, he is just as patriotic and just as much entitled to the rights and privileges of citizenship as is the white man. This is not the white man's and the black man's flag and country, and we must learn to live together in peace in this fair land. Social equality is not a question of cool. Social equality is not found among settlements entirely composed of white people just because they are all white. They do not all belong to the same group or circle. Neither should the ghost of social equality be brought forth on many occasions to keep alive race hatred. There is something else than color which fixes the social status of each of us. Theodore Roosevelt could entertain Booker T. Washington one day at the White House and J. P. Morgan the next day, because he regarded each of these gentleman as belonging to his social group. The Negro was brought here against his will and he will stay here, and the fure is portentious with disaster if these two races do not learn that they are children of the same Father, and each appointed to the tremendous responsibility of making honorable and useful lives. It is by no means necessary that there should be any great amount of social intermingling and certainly not intermarriage for this is repugnant to inherent race preferences and purposes; but as law abiding American citizens each is entitled to the respect of the other, and each should jealously regard the rights of the other—and when this goal is reached race riots will end. The Negro race is working its way up and is entitled to every assistance from the more favored white race. It must not be forgotten that it is not so many centuries since our white progenitors were cannibals and fetish worshippers. It is soul which makes the man and it takes often many generations to grow great souls. C. M. E. CONFERENCE TO MEET The California Conference of the C. M. E. Church will convene in Phillips Chapel C. M. E. Church, Santa Monica, Cal., Wednesday morning, September 17th at 10 o'clock. The sessions of the Conference will be presided over by the scholarly, erudite, Bishop C. H. Phillips, A. M., D. D., of Nashville, Tenn. Bishop Phillips needs no introduction to the people of this city as he is well and favorably known as the organizer of the California Conference, and has presided over every session of it except one. The Conference comprises the See the Beautiful Cantata "Queen Esther," Oct. 2, at Walker States of California, New Mexico, and Arizona. Preachers and delegates will be in attendance fro mall those states. Elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the Conference and visitors have ben made by the church at Santa Monica of which Rev. L. H. White is pastor. The Conference will close on Sunday night, when the appointments will be read by the Bishop. Now cometh the question for discussion, which for more than half a century has battled the skill of the ages and wise-acres of both races in this country—The Race Problem. I do not pretend to be able to solve the problem, but shall simply talk about it a little in view of what others have said and written concerning it. I will start out by giving my readers a "jolt," by saying, in my opinion there is no such question as a "Race Problem," so far as the Negro is concerned. If there be any such problem, it is the white man's, he made it, therefore it is his and up to him to solve it. Now suppose we take the question into the dissecting room and dissect it, put it under the microscope of reasoning, and get the results desired. First, I deny that there is any such question as the "Negro Problem" or "Race Problem" so far as the Negro Race is concerned. And on account of the intricate properties, which compose the question, the Negro can do nothing to his credit or consistant with honor, to help solve the question. "The modern Negro Problem" as the question is styled, was born during the reconstruction days after the Civil War. The question first was, "What shall we do with the Negro?" It was not a local question, at that time, but a national question. Even before the Civil War, the question as stated above was going the rounds. President Lincoln, was much concerned as will later on be shown by a conversation held with several free Racemen. At that time the Country was alarmed over the increasing amount of Negroes that were being smuggled into this country, contrary to a law forbidding further slave trade. The smugglers being unable to sell them, turned them loose, and of course, as they could not be bold, they became free mem. As a consequence of this condition, the American colonization Society, was organized to settle free Negroes in Africa. This was to be done as a solution of the aggravating question arising out of the multiplying number of free Negroes in this country. But the great momentous question involving the Race, begun as stated before, after the close of the Civil War, during the reconstruction period. It grew out of the fear of Negro domination and social equality. These two propositions mainly comprise or constitute what is known as the Race question. Goes with this, the interrogation, what shall we (the white folk) do with him? (the Negro) This question wasn't asked until the Negro was emancipated, mind you. As long as he was a slave, there was nothing said. The only question that might have arisen was, how many can we get? Well, from what has ben said, the canal observer can plainly see that the question is of white origin. He doesn't ask the Negro as to what shall he done with him, but asks himself the question, or themselves (the white people) what shall we do with him. So you see, it is an enigma of his design. Therefore it is up to him to work it out. A lot of Race people are going around like a scared antler, trying to solve the Race Problem, and it is no more his job than it is the job of an African Kan-This is because it would bring about intermarriage, and once started as a rule, they could not tell where it would stop. (For at least the Negro cannot be accused of not being a real man). Now if the white race would stop and give the matter a careful thinking over, they would find that they are merely affected with a deformia or nightmare. Taking the first proposition, "the fear of Negro domination," there are two things essential to Racial domination before it can maintain. It must be a majority in number or greater in wisdom. There are only twelve million. No prosec in this country to at least twenty millions of whites. At this rate, how on earth can the Negro dominate? He is a very small minority. His strength is comparatively nil when it comes to voting ability when pitted against such a superior, numgaroo. Of the two kinds of fears, the fear of "social equality" is the most aggravating to the white man. As to the fear of "Social equality," it is one of the last things the Negro thinks of, outside of his natural inclination not to seek social equality. There are two other reasons. He knows if he marries out of his Race, he will be socially ostracised, not only from among the white race, but from among his or her own race. Second, such ones lose the respect of his own Race. This is proven by taking cognizance of the few intermarriages in the states where it is permitted. Very few of the decent and intelligent members of the Negro Race marry white women. You will find that the association of the two races are more frequent among the low element of both races. This holds practically true in marriages. The death knell of an intelligent Negro man is sounded when he condescends to marry a white woman, as a rule. Riverting to the main issue, the question may be asked, "What on earth can the Negro do to satisfy the white man that he is laboring under the wrong impression?" Whatever he does, he is helping or trying to help the white man solve his (the white man's) problem. There is nothing I know of that the Negro can do to prove to the white man that he is not seeking domination, unless he absolutely stops voting or displaying any ambition to be anything save a menial, or leave this country. That all of the Negroes never will consent to do or be. So he will just have to fear until he" fears" himself to death. To give up his right of suffrage and ambition, reduces him to less than a citizen and a man. Can he do anything that will prove false the idea of social equality? No! He can't do that either; for what the white man in most instances calls social equality, is nothing less than a Right. The Right to eat, drink, ride, sleep, walk, talk and marry whom one pleases, belongs to every free man, regardless of what the law says in some states to the contrary (I mean to say in public places). And as long as the Negro is educated, dresses well and holds up his head and answers no or yes to this supposed superior, nothing can be THE PEOPLE'S FORUM FOR UPLIFT ALL MEN UP—NO MAN DOWN. iots ata "Queen Walker BEAUTIFUL QUEEN ESTHER OCTOBER 2ND.

Dr. Booker T. Washington died striving to help solve this problem. With all of the untiming efforts and accomplishments, the queen was just as far from solved when he died as it was when he began his activities. By this, I do not mean to say that he did not accomplish much good, for he did. But so far as solving the Race Problem, all was vain. All of the education, classical or industrial the Negro may acquire, or wealth he might gain, or he may "get" so much religion until there would not be any left for anyone else, if that were possible, would not solve the problem. Education would and does increase his ambition and causes him to aspire for full recognition as a citizen, and such is looked upon by the whites as attempting to dominate, one of the principal propositions, constituting the race problem. I reciterate the statement, that the efforts of Bro. Washington, the beloved and distinguished leader of the Race, was "all in vain." His efforts simply supplied the Race with efficient and more intelligent workmen. He brought forth skilled mechanics out of the rough. He cultivated a natural genius, which was latest in the Race. Some of these have made good, but many more are shut out by the cold-hands of the labor unions. These skilled mechanics have found it harder to obtain work, than what the old time mechanics did, who merely picked up his trade. No! Industrial education hasn't done any more to help solve the Race Problem than a college education. Again, obtaining an education or property or money as a solution of the question, has not proved itself. The Race today is reputed to be worth a billion dollars, but its status remains the same. No amount of money or acres of land or education is sufficient to purchase or induce the white man to release the unarmed hold which he has upon the Negro Race. He will simply have to be knocked off. The hopes of the Race were knocked up mightily, as the good news came, that members of the Race would be accepted in the Army, and late war, and that even they would be made commissioned officers. It was delightful in the highest when the good news came back, that they were making good on the battlefield. The heart of reasoning members of the Race shouted for joy, for all of the Race felt that it would make them different; that the white race which is in power, would realize the justice and worth of the Negro to the (Continued on Page Four) ; { ope $ ota.

CHURCH NOTES— Cor. 6th and Towne Avenue The pastor preached at the more hour on the "Communion" and The 2nd Annual Session of The California Conference, A. M. E. Church closed at Pasadena, Sunday night, September 1st, with the greatest record of Spiritual and Financial achievements ever chronicled in its more than half-century of life. The pastor of "Historic 8th and Towne Avenue Church," having broken the record of all previous predecessors in the completion of four successive year's work was paid a beautiful tribute by Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, Bishop of this 5th Episcopal District and then transferred to the Colorado Conference which meets in Denver, Colorado, September 17th at Shorter's Chapel. Departure for this new field of labor will be made Wednesday, September 17th. "Farewell Sunday" Services will be sacredly observed this Sabbath, September 14th, at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., with both sermons being delivered by the pastor now in charge. The membership and community are prayerfully invited to attend. Come praying God to bless and prosper us in "the parting of our ways," and that here, as well as in the "new fields," continued "good will and abundant blessings" may attend all as it has in other days. Be punctual for a good pew. Everybody welcome, and we will be glad to see you. Be present at the Sunday School at 9.30 a. m. "A Goodbye" Sermon" at 11 a. m.; Allen Christian Endeavor Meeting at 6.30 p. m.; "Another Goodbye for a little while Sermon" at 8 p. m. Come worship with us in all services on this Second Sunday in September. Rev. J. Edw. McCorkle, Pastor. Last Sabbath two splendid audiences attended services at the Zion A. M. E. Church and listened with profit to two powerful and affective sermons that were charged with the Holy Spirit. In the morning, the pastor preached on "Where is the God of Elijah." The people were made happy and took of the Lord's Supper with rejoicing and thanksgiving. The spirit was possibly at its highest of any time during the present administration. And at the night services, Rev. W. W. Mathews, ex-Presiding Elder of this district preached for us from the "Cost of Religion." Again the Spirit was present. Rev. Mathews preached a masterful sermon, and His natural magnetism ran thru the audience. Next Sunday we are expecting that Presiding Elder E. M. Clark will fill the pulpit, it being his last service before the Annual Conference, we hope that the people will turn out in large numbers and pay respects, enjoy the services and turn in all General Claims. On Tuesday night, September 16th Prof. W. H. Thomas of San Francisco will appear in dramatic recital at the Hamilton M. E. Church, benefit of the A. M. E. Zion Church. A cordial welcome always accorded strangers. If you are without a church home, come, we can help you; if you are looking for church work, you can help us. Sunday was a great day at this church. The pastor preached two soul-stirring sermons to the delight and satisfaction of two splendid congregations. There was one accession to the membership at the morning service. A special feature of the services was the delightful singing of our unexcelled Choir. The hearts of the congregation were lifted heavenward as they listened to the strains of this great Choir. Large numbers partook of the Communion of the Lord's Supper during the day. The coming Sunday winds up the work of this Conference Year. A goodly number of the members have already paid their General Funds. The pastor will close his fourth year as pastor of this church Sunday. The friends and well-wishers of the church are invited to worship with us at one of the services of Sunday. Strangers and visitors are always welcome to the services of this church. Come where a welcome awaits you and where the old time fire is burning. HAWLTON M. N. CHURCH Cor. 21 and N. Avenue. Bee St. N. Brompton Services at this church were of a high spiritual order on last Sunday. THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE The pastor preached at the morning hour on the "Communion," and administered the same at the morning and evening hour. At night the subject was "The Exceeding Greatness of His Power." These services were enjoyed by the large number of people who teended them. Next Sunday is Rally Day at which time it is the purpose of the church to raise all Conference Claims. You will find a cordial welcome always at this church. On last Sunday our services were very good. "Father Holt" preached a soul-stirring sermon at night; there was one accession to the church during the day. We pray that the members will continue to be faithful and loyal to the Church while the Pastor is away so that when he comes back to his post on the Second Sunday in October he will hear good news. Sunday's services will be as usual visitors welcome to all services. Four converts and five accessions is the result of this week's Revival meeting at the Trinity Baptist Church Sunday was another big day at Trinity. Mrs. I. H. Ford of Pasadena preached at both the morning and evening services. As a result from the two seminars preached by Sister Ford, four were converted and one accession. On Monday evening we had three accessions and on Tuesday evening, one accession. Rev. R. H. Wade and Mrs. Ford have been working hard for the last two weeks and as a result from their labor we have eleven converts and nine accessions. Rev. Wade will preach tonight from the subject: "Outer Darkness." The pastor will speak next Sunday morning from the subject: "Christ's Mission to the World." There will be baptising Sunday afternoon at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. BETHEL CHURCH OF CHRIST— (Holiness) Hooper Ave. and East Adams St. Last Sunday was a glorious day for the members and friends of Bethel Sunday School was well attended. The lesson "The Kingdom of God," was truly helpful and everyone received therefrom instruction and inspiration. At the morning hour the pastor who had just returned from several weeks in the East occupied the pulpit and delivered an excellent sermon. Text, Philippians 4:6-7. The message was truly divine, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit was wonderfully made known in power and demonstration. At 8 p. m. the pastor delivered another wonderful sermon; Text, "Jesus." The message was truly inspired and helpful. Don't fall to hear the inspired messages. Excellent singing by the Choir. Next week's services as usual—Sunday School, 9.45 a. m.; Preaching, 11.30 a. m.; Y. P. U., 6 p. m.; Preaching 8 p. m.; Wednesday 2.30 p. m.; Sisters Willing Workers; 8 p. m. Brotherhood: Thursday 8 p. m.; Praise and Preaching. All are welcome. WESLEY M. E. CHRURCH— 8th and Jullin Ss. Ss. Rev. A. P. Shaw, Pastor. Sunday was a great day at Wesley. The largest crowd since' Easter worshipped with us at our morning service, and heard the pastor's great sermon on the Sin of Forgiveness. This was followed by the most wonderful Communion Service ever held in Wesley. The evening service was well attended. Our Rally to receive another boost of $89.00 and brought the total up to $4119.85. This Sunday promises to be a great day, Dr. C. P. Jones, one of the greatest preachers of the race will preach at 11 a.m. The evening service will be in charge of Brothers J. A. Warren and Ellis Adkins. The pastor will be spending the Sunday with his father in Fowler in their Annual Rally effort. Come and worship with us. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREGA- TIONAL CHURCH— The usual good services were held at this church on last Sunday. The pastor occupied the pulpit at both services. The text used at the morning hour was: "And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them," Matt. 27:19; the evening, "The Lord hath need of them." At the close of each service a goodly number of members and friends partook of the Lord's Supper which was administered by the pastor. Our own brother Stewart who is sojourning in the Imperial Valley was among the visitors and brought a kindly and helpful message to the Sunday School Services this Sunday, September 14th as follows: Sunday School, 9.45 a. m.; Preaching, 11.15 a. m. and 8 p. m.; Christian Endeavor, 7.00 p. p.; Bro. Gdo. Baker, President. You are cordially invited to attend all these services—There will be a message for you. All welcome. All sessions were well attended this past first Sunday, starting with the Sunday School, the subject of the lesson "The Kingdom of God" was taught and discussed with much interest by the members and visitors present. At the 11 o'clock service, our pastor brought to us a wonderful message, which afforded much food for thought; Text: "A triumphant entry into Jerusalem," Luke 19. We have to live the life here, ride with Jesus here in order to make a triumphant ride into Heaven. We testify and tell the world today how good we are, but as soon as the curtains are drawn, we do things that God disapproves of, we are hanging Him on the cross every day. Determined in our hearts that we are going to conquer for Jesus so that we may make a triumphant ride into Heaven. Our B. Y. P. U. and evening service was largely attended. Testimonial and Communion service marked the close of another successful day for the Master and the beginning of a busy week for the two clubs. There will be something going on here every night. A Rally for the Victory Club, Sunday September 14th. Come out and help us raise funds to build a better house to worship in. SECOND RAPTIST CHURCH— 748 Maple Avenue Rev. H. D. Prowd, Pastor The services last Sunday were very inspiring and helpful. Sunday School was well attended with many visitors. At the 11 o'clock service Rev. Shipley preached a very instructive sermon and many went away with the beautiful thoughts in their mind, "Did not our hearts burn within us while Jesus spoke to us by the way." Dr. Prowd is in the East attending the National Convention. Let each and every member come out and do his and her duty. The pulpit will be filled. Sunday after Sunday until the pastor returns. Friends and visitors are always welcome. PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENT CHURCH OF CHRIST. For 11th and Paloma St. The Sunday School was well attended last Sunday morning. A representative from the Bible Institute spoke on the importance of children attending Sunday School, which was very interesting. The Holy Spirit was present in demonstration and power as our pastor epoke from Corinthians 15:3. Christ died for our sins according to the scripture. Paul is one magnificent sermon, he said, his soul purpose in preaching was to deliver the full gospel. Christianity is based upon facts, not imagination, simple facts that cannot be denied. Paul met Christ and was so overcome that he asked Him, what would He have him do? What are the simple facts of the gospel? 1—Jesus lived just as other men; 2—He died; 3—Was buried; 4—Triumphantly rose from the dead. We have many peculiar ideas about the gospel but Paul would destroy all these ideas and have us know that the gospel is to destroy evil in the world. Paul was not present during Christ's time, but the revelation he received. "I deliver unto you revelations that I received from on high, was not received from John or Luke but came directly from Christ. Christ died for our sins and our sins alone; because the only basis by which salvation could come into the world was by innocent blood being shed for you and me. The purpose of the gospel is not only to wipe sin out of the world, but to free men from all evil. The coming of Christ was to bind men and women together into a oneness, have them live in Harmony, one with the other. No matter who or what we are, if we are children of Christ we are in Harmony. Personal righteousness must be supreme and the soul purpose of salvation is to 1115—1117 East 10th FIRE! FI Have your property FIRE INSURANCE Not a luxury.

You've tried the rest New try the best. public in general, by his amiable character and earnest devotion to his Christian duty. The hearty interest that he has ever manifested in our welfare as a people, deepens upon our minds that it is our Christian duty, to assist this worthy man in every way possible, in these, the days of his depression and struggles. As individuals we have evr assisted this worthy man during his sojourn with us, but realizing the fact, that the location of his church being somewhat on the back ground of the city, and that it is somewhat out of the way for many who would very possibly assist him, also, knowing his congregation to be very small, and his responsibilities to be so very great we take his case and condition deeply into consideration, we at last figured out a plan in which it is possible for every one to assist this worthy man who desires to do so, and that with out going out of the way to do so. About three months ago, we launched a work known as. "Outside Charitable Church Work. To this work, each and every one who desired to assist in this charitable cause was eligible to membership. This fact we announced to the public, and rolled up our sleeves with a view of not taking them down until the Job was finished. We begin this work in the face of thousands of obstacles, but none so large that we could not conquer them. We are in the battle to win, and we are fighting for victory. We fought because we cannot stand to see this branch of our great church Crusified upon the cross of public opinion. We fought because we could not stand to see one of our comrades strangle and drown without offering to him at least a helping hand. We fought because Christ, said, as much as you do this unto one of my little ones, you do it also unto me. We spent the first months of our work in securing names, a large number of friends joined our work by giving their names. Like all other business in life, among the many we found a few that proved faithful, yes faithful even unto the end. We are very glad to announce to the public that God in his greatness, has blessed all of our efforts in this work. The three months we have sacrificed in the assistance of our worthy brother, we have succeeded in raising the sum of Forty Five dollars and turned over to Rev. Price for the NOTICE!

Until we abide by the Golden Rule we will never be Christ-like. According to your faith, so is it unto you. What is the effect of the gospel in your life? Are you saved from the temptations of the world? At the close of the sermon one person joined the church, and a beautiful little Rosebud was baptised in the person of Baby Harrietta Rose Jackson. In the evening the pastor spoke about the saving power of God. This truth was illustrated so plainly that every heart was touched by the Holy Ghost and loud were the praises that came from the congregation which inspired our pastor. "For I am determined not to know anything among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified." The world is seeking a crucified Jesus, and a crucified Christian, because crucifiction is abdication. A Christian that can stand the test, is what the world wants today. Holy Communion was administered both morning and evening. Collection for day $193.67.

Price leaves for Conference on Sept. 3rd, and I feel safe to say that he carries with him the highest esteem and appreciation of the citizens of Los Angeles. In every angle of his work he has proven himself to be worthy and a credit to the community in which he labored. He is a man of very high standing, to know him means to love him. His power as a speaker, still gives a commanding influence in the pulpit and on the Platform. There is a crown for every successful head that goes through the smoky conflict to victory."

BASS.....Editor A straw as to the popularity of The Soaring Eagle is the fact that notwithstanding the fact that we published 1000 extra copies of our last issue, the entire edition was exhausted by noon Sunday and hundreds of calls came in for more papers. Dr. J. Logan Craw after serving four years in the pastorate of the First A. M. E. Church of this city, has been assigned to the Colorado Conference where he will be the incoming pastor of Shorter Chapel of Denver. Shorter is a Mertopolitan Church in the same class as 8th and Towne Avenue and demands at all times a high class man. Dr. Craw's stewardship at this joint has been a marvelous success, he has the highest esteem and appreciation of the people of this city regardless of denomination, for his sterling worth as an ambassador of the King. This sentiment with equal force applies to his brilliant wife, Mrs. Lilian J. Craw who has been such a bulwark of strength to the Doctor in his work here. "The people' regret losing them from our midst, but they become reconciled to their departure when they realize tat one year more was all te time tey could have remained with us, and farther than that in another year, a charge like Shorter's Chapel might not be available. We want to express our appreciation of Dr. Craw whom we have designated as the mircale man; that he has demonstrated the highest qualities of a man who i destined to do big things, and there is nothing that will keep him from ascending to the highest heights in his connection, and to his new field of effort the highest regard and hope for success go with him and his esteemable help meet. We feel that Los Angeles' loss is Denver's gain. ABOUT CENTRAL AVENUE. The Progressive Business League meets and has its headquarters on Central Avenue., it is right up to this League to contend for the very best environment on this thoroughfare for the promotion of all legitimate business, and we shall be thoroughly disappointed unless they shall do so. Loitering and congregating in front of business places is not tolerated any other place in this city outside, of this Avenue. It does not enhance any legitimate business for crowds to congregate in front of that business frequently, using loud, boisterous and sometimes obscene language. Let's make Central Avenue a clean cut place for all legitimate business to thrive and grow. We sincerely trust that the Business League will at least give this suggestion the consideration which it deserves and get busy. "THE TORTURED NEGRO OR THE CRY FOR JUSTICE." An epic poem containing 60 stanzas was recently composed and published by Mr. Louis M. Michel and is being circulated among all classes of people in California. The poem rightly taken is an honorable plea for justice for the 15,000,000 Negroes in the United States who are as near American as it is possible to The poem, no doubt, in future years will easily be considered Mr. Michel's masterpiece, deeply concerned is it in the same condition of the Amer- negro, and so uncompromis- ly has the author in vigor.

ROSA JONES 1157 E. 11th St., Los Angeles, Cali THE RACE PROBLEM (Continued from Page One) Country, and as a consequence; better treatment, just and protection would be meted out to him; but instead when the brave soldiers returned home, they found the white people organizing to murder him, if he even showed signs of expecting any better conditions to prevail, or "speaking up for himself." The quotation below, from the Chatanoga Times of December 12, 1918, tells the story of how much the going to the war and the brave fighting of the Negro soldiers helped to solve the Race question, as was thought and hoped for: The spirit of the Ku Klux Klan seems embodied in this Columbian Union, a new secret order originally chartered in Nashville, which is being organized in Chatanogao by Arthur Mills, Majestic Viceroy. The purposes of the order are mysteriously surrounded with the traditions of the past, and are among the most unusual of any secret organization yet attempted. That the organizers anticipate racial troubles following the demobilization of the soldiers is indicated in the literature of the order, and Mr. Mills is outspoken in the belief that some such organization is necessary, especially in the South, when the Negro troops are mustered out and returned to their homes. "Allegiance to the United States, the support of the president and the suppression of enemy propaganda, are among the strict requirements of the order. "Prominent among the member of the Columbian Union are many important officials in state and city governments and influential business men. Mr. Mills declares that the Union will be the greatest society ever organized in the South and will be the most important factor in getting the government completely in the hands of the white race and making permanent white supremacy." The Mayor of a small town in Georgia, is quoted in The Crisis as addressing a group of draftees as follows. "You boys are going out to fight for your country and for democracy and that is a very fine thing, but there is one idea some of you have been expressing and I want you to get it out of your minds. Don't think that after the war you are going to change things. "I want to tell you here today that this isn't so, and you want to remember that our white boys are going over to France and learning how to fight, and that we here at home are preparing for you when you come back. Don't get any new fangled ideas about democracy. So we see just about how much the Negro can o to help answer the "question." The appeal of the Race to the government hasn't done any good. The North that was once said "to be his friend," and somewhat furnished him a place of refuge, has heard the cry of the South, "keep your hands off and leave the Negro to us, we will settle the question." So it has. "Saying let the South take care of the question." How is the South trying to settle the question? By lynching, burning at the stake and discrimination. There is but one thing that the Negro can do of himself to satisfy the white man and settle the Race problem, that is if he is to settle it, it is to leave this country. There would be 10 GO TO SEE THIS REAL SNAP To buy this property means that you have a home and an investment Build yourself a bungalow court and gest easy. it will pay you well. We are conservative in what we say, and make no inflated promises. but few tears shed by the white race, either North or South, grizzle or gray saint or sinner, for there are not very many white people who have religion enough to love and respect the Negro or his rights as a citizen. While I say this is the only thing in my estimation that the Negro can do to settle the problem, I no wise mean to suggest that it be done. For the Negro has as much right on this continent and in this country as the white man. If (the Negro) did not bring himself here, and he isn't going to leave unless God says so. If God never says it, he will never go and that is settled. I would suggest that the race stop this thing of going around trying to solve the Race problem. Stop it for God's sake and for your own sakes. There is nothing to it. The Race is living about as well as it can, not bothering anyone, just as law abiding, regardless of what may be said to the contrary, as the "white folks" ARE. Earning a living as best he can. Helping the country fight its battles, or I might say winning the battles for his country. My Maker, what more? If that doesn't help some, the "cake's all dough." Another thing, why should the Negro bother about what shall be done with him? Let the other fellow that wants to do something with him, bother about that. The thing for the Negro to do, is to keep his "ears cocked and eyes skint" to see that nothing is done with him, but let alone. "Case he aint botherin' nobody, and nobody "bet" not bother him." It's the white man who is afraid of Negro domination and social equality, and if he hasn't any better sense than to be scared, then let him scare himself to death. Lincoln said to several-free men, whom he was trying to influence to assist in colonizing the Negro free men, and those who might be set free in Liberia, this: "But for your Race among us, there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side, do not care for you one way or the other." Every word of this statement of President Lincoln was and is true. And may I say, that the white man, caros leers today for the Negro than (Cintinued in Next Issue) THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE 412-415 Germain Building; Pico 297 SOJOURNER TRU Beautiful and commodious. at Sojourner.

G. STOKES, General. Sec. In the Music World BY JOHN A. GRAY | ‘The value of criticism depends up- on the technical knowledge of the critic on the sibjett under discuss- jon. A Bveryone has a right to like or dis- liké anything that he chooses, but only the critic with g technical know- ledge, no niatter how “limited, of _ certain subject can tell just why he likes oF dislikes it. ‘The trouble is, that many people condemn a thing simply because they do not like'it or understand it. Others pretend that.they know more aboitt it than they really do, ann have the audacity to argue with those whose knowledge is far superior to thelr’s, Roth classes are bad since they do more harm than good. * Criticisni might be divided into'two classes: Constructive and Destruc- tive. Constructive jcriticism is good in that it points ont, the weak and faulty places afd suggests a, remedy for them. It ig really advice which tends to strengthen, build, aid fur- ther develop thé subject.’ Destructive criticism is just the op- phkite. It tears down, discourages, and attacks the weak ‘points first. This may come from jealousy, pride, ignorance or some other cause. As a race we 40 not like to.be erit- icised, principally Hecause we do not want: to see our mistakes and weak places. We are too lazy to work Harder and overcome them.! But the woghi's greatest artists ate them- selves their most severé critics. Pad- erwiski would practice a difficult phrase hundreds of times each day for months before he would be satis- fled with it. Other artists spend many weary hours at # single composition in order to perfect it. But our race artists will buy a composition in the fnorning and perform it that night, then expect he public to say that thelr rendiyon was fhuttless. Others attempt things that are beyond them ang ‘fail miserably.

We layed there that night in our little pup tents wondering just what minute we were going to be called in. The first fight we got there we were so tired that when they said fall out for the night in the near vicinity, I just flopped where I was and when I awoke in the morning I was surprised to find out that I was sleeping under a horse. There was nothing under me but mud and water so I was a little wet—just to the skin that's all. I had nothing dry to put on on a amy back was also soaking wet, but I had gotten used to it now. As the drive continued, on our way to the front, we helped to fix the road so that supplies and ambulances could get to the boys ahead of us; and I wish you could have seen those ambulances, not ocasionally but endless trains of them, blood-spattered and so full that the boys who were not wounded seriously enough to be litter cares were riding on the hood of the ambulances; some sight along that mined road, as we helped to make the road clear for them, and as we went to get ours. The barrage lasted 72 hours and Von Hindenburg's great line was now nothing but a mass or debris; prisoners were taken by the thousands, you would wonder where they all came from, or if there was any more left in Germany. When you get to that terrible place as you ascend that hill over which the parapets of that great line look, it seems to me as the last place in the world; what was a beautiful forest was now nothing but burnt stubs and the ground literally torn to pieces. It looked as though they had been hunting for gold and, abandoned their task after being sure that there was none to be found. Over the parapet and you are in the lines. What attracts your attention first is the concrete walls, and you look again only to find an entrance to a magnificent sitting room or billard parlor, or anything that would amuse one in a large city, you may find here.

Well, we remained in that sector until the drive was over, our casualties being about 600, but the American Army's was about 12000 in that offensive. It was a magnificent achievement. We left there on the 5th of October, in rear of the lines where we stopped two days for a rest, and the night of the 6th we started out on a hike to St. Mennihold. We got there about 9 a. m., and here entrained for the worst sector on the Western Front—The Marbache sector—which was the foremost sector in front of the strongest fortified city in the world. We got the train at Fround and hipped to Marbache where we put up for the night, the next night we started out again and hiked to Atton, where we put up for the night, the next night we arrived in the support of the front lines of our sector, which was the night of October 9th, Co B of our battalion going to the trenches. Here again we relieved French troops. It was nothing in that sector to get stuck in mud and your comrades have to pull you out, and this also was an awful sector for gas. On the night of the 14th they started a mustard gas attack which lasted about seven hours (that's hell's gas). Co B. during this attack had 63 casualties, making their company too weak to hold that point any longer, so our company replaced them; they would mix in high explosive and shrapnel shells with the gas shells, making it awfully dangerous advancing during the attack as you have to wear your gas mask, and that's torturing within itself. It was nothing to go out on patrol here and find dead bodies lying out in no man's land; perhaps Allies' soldiers and more often boche soldiers. This sector had never been advanced on successfully by any of the allied armies, all having had terrible bad luck who attempted it, as division after division had been annihilated in this sector. We stayed in that particular part of the sector until the 24th then we went to a little town in the rear of us called Loisy, where children going to school carrried their gas masks for fear a German aeroplane may drop gas on (Continued on Page Eight) --- For Savers All good American waste—being thrifty—s Many who are save time in their lives are of with small sums—and h ing.

Now comes the poor "Caribe" again with their young wings clipped by the Sons of St. George, last Sunday at Exposition Park. Of course one must admit that these sons of the Caribee; although born in and were nursed on the breast of the Cricket field, and by the reason of their effort to initiate the famous "Rip Van Winkle" by retiring to the mountain for forty years; do you wonder then that these brave men got licked? At all events they are good sports and with the tenacity and determination of proverbal ball dog, they intend to remain with the Sons of St. George until they lick them, and they will. Much commendation is due the president, E. Burton Caruti, for the clever agile manner in which he handled, not only himself, but the game; anyone who saw him Sunday and didn't know that this Barrister-at-Law was a busy man about the various departments of the Courts, would swear that he did nothing but play Cricket for a living. With such hopeful timber as Mr. Caruti the Carribees need have no fear of the Sons of St. George, or any other team. Next Sunday, September 14th, all members are instructed to appear for practice at the grounds—Exposition Park. Janitors and Elevator Operators in Baseball Riot. The Hail of Records' Janitors and Elevator Operators had one grand outing last Tuesday, September 9th in Echo Park. Say, maybe you think they didn't have some sport; Picate is too mild a name for it, we think that if we would call it a riot we would hit the nail on the head. After a short prayer from the president, Mr. J. Jackson, the wives and relatives of the Janitors and Operators put on the big feed, and believe me it was some feed. Buster Brown was there, and say, he put away some food; his wife thought that she knew what she was doing when she prepared lunch for ten extras, but Buster did the clean up and then went visiting. Say boy, where do you put it? After the spread we then journeyed down to the ball park and indulged in America's greatest game. "The Apple King" thought that he was doing something smart when he took first pick for the line-ups, but say, he turned green in the face before the game was over. Mr. Hammond, what? Who is "The Apple King?" Say, guy, do you mean to stand, there and say that you don't know "The Apple King?" We thought that everyone knew Van Williams; now don't interrupt me again. As we were about to say, Mr. Hammond took the leavings and what he put on that picked team, it won't do to tell. Oh yes, before we forget it, "The Boss" was there, that's what we said; say fellow, just go up and ask for a job and you will find out who the "Boss" is. "The King" thought that he was some pitcher; well, he did do fairly well for a few minutes, but he soon found out that it was much easier to play first base, so he fired out to that station and pitched his tent for the rost of the day. We don't see where the "Boss" is going to get very much work done for a few weeks because everyone will be straggling around on a pair of wooden legs, and pushing a duster with a couple of cork arms. Say, that umpire was a scream; if he were umpiring for a living, within a few days he would have to hit himself in the ribs to knock his stomach away from his backbone, but at that we'll forgive him, only next time he sure to bring his field glasses along and maybe he can see 'em better; he made you think of a second class boarding house where you have to fight a free for match to get something to eat, and then along comes the bird with the drinks, which is coffee-water—you ask for milk, you get coffee, you ask for tea, you get coffee just the same—if the ball hit the ground and rolled near the plate it was a strike, if the pitcher let the ball slip and it went between first GIRLS ARE LEADING ATHLETES IN THIS PART OF STATE We had a talk with Professor Green, of the Y.

M. C. A. last night, he is very interested in the way the girls are taking to swimming, and stated that in due time his instructors will turn out some of the best lady swimmers in this part of the country. his prophecy is covering a great amount of territory, but if you could take a peep in there some Thursday and see the girls in action as we have seen them, you wouldn't doubt his word the least bit. The girls only have one day a week, but if you were to see them you would think that they were training every day and were veterans in the game; in looking them over we have picked out two who are making a very strong impression among the professional ranks; they are Misses Gladys Owens, Louise Thompson, Jesse Johnson, Willie Detwiler, Angela Breedlove; Measdien J. H. Mornaly, Fugenia Whisenany Frank Gordon, Dr. Somerville. There as a class of about 40 and they are learning to be good swimmers; right now the girls can swim rings around the boys, which isn't giving them credit for what they can do. Up to the present time the boys are losing out when it comes to athletics, the girls are taking the lead in every thing, the young men in this part of the State are the most disinterested bodies when it comes to athletics we have ever come in contact with. Boys wake up, are you going to let the girls be your superior in everything? They are your equal when it comes to mental and physical ability, and now they are fast becoming your superior in athletics, if you don't stage a comeback soon, you will be playing the roll of a nursegirl and chambermaid, then you will wonder how you got there. Prof. Green has his instructors out looking for entries for the swimming tournament to be held in October now is your chance to stage that come-back, and lets revive athletics among the male sex in southern California, get in touch with one of the four named instructors: Messrs. Ll Jesse Kimbrough: Hays Roberts; El Ievan and Clavence Bluet or the sporting Editor of this paper. BOXING Steve Dalton Stops Joe Golindo. Joe Gelindo ran into a humble bee's nest last Tuesday night at Jack Doyle's when he met Steve Dalton in the main event. Dalton had his old left working in high class form and Gelindo was unable to keep his midship out of the way; it took the hard hitting Dalton one round and a half to finish the fight. They had no more than started when Steve began to work on the body. Gelindo held his own for a short time, then Dalton put two lofts to the body in succession and Joe went down, three more times Gelindo kissed the canvass, twice from the same left to the body and once from a left and right to the chin, each time Joe came up without waiting for the count. Before the second round was half over Dalton drove a left to Golindos ribs, Joe took the benefit of the count this time, he pulled himself up by the ropes but before Steve could land another blow he dropped to his knees and told referee Dick Donald that it was all over out the shouting. Steve was highly elated over his decisive victory and challenged any man in the World—Poor Boy! It’s strange how you feel after winning a fight; you think you can whip the WORLD until you wake up. Johnny Celmars and Frank Moy gave the fans a run for their money. they put up a real fight, although Celmars won he knew he had been in a fight when it was over, and to our judgment he was the happiest one of the two when the final round was over. Moy is a good game chap and took his defeat with a smile. Bill LaRue the big ham was knocked out by Carl Morris in the second round of their scheduled four round match in Oakland last Tuesday, September 9th, thus shattering LaRue's hopes as a championship contender. Hick Smith, former light heavyweight champion of Great Britain, said that George is a has-been and argues that the French champion is dangerous, he thinks—that Joe ```markdown ``` 2J Cricket BASEBALL and home plate it was a strike, the only chance you had to keep from being called out was to run over where the ball was thrown and hit it. Say, you talk about a bird running bases, Curtis Hammond was a bear, when he stretched out between first and second he reared back so far we didn't know whether he was going to turn a back-hand spring or stand on his head; but that is his style of running for he got there just the same. Bangtails had nothing on Vernon and Los Angeles. The Tigers and Angels remind us of the good old days when the Bangtails were the center attraction in the sport world on the coast, when two of the blue bloods would get out in the lead, and swing into the stretch neck to neck; we would get all excited and enthusiastic yelling and calling for our favorite to win, and when the dust would clear away we would find that our choice had won or lost by a nose. Thus it seems that the Angels and Tigers are playing the same game, making one of the hottest races in Baseball history on the coast; they are now turning in the stretch, first neck and neck, then the Angels lead by a nose. With three weeks more to go, it is a tossup for the winner, Vernon is the favorite and according to the dope sheet should win, but she will have to fight from now in, never letting up a minute; she will have to take water, gas and oil on the run. The new record of 26 home runs held by Babe Ruth was made at the expense of 22 American League pitchers; Ruth made 8 of his home runs at Bost and 18 on the road. Cincinnati has waited 50 years to get in on the "World Series Ple" and unless all the players die their dreams have come true. The Pacific Coast League and the American Association to play "World Series" here in October; they will play nine games to decide the championship, the winner will have to win five out of nine.

Say Herb, there's a ladder over in our backyard you can use next time and make it easy on yourself. Clarence Curry says that he will be THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE Miss Alice Jones was out last Saturday. Say girls, you had better be very careful take it from me; Miss Jones has a very good serve, a nice drive and a good back-hand stroke, and with a little more training she will be hard to beat. She is thinking of joining one of the clubs, and will be ready to take you on Thanksgiving Day. Here is another one who is going to make trouble for our present lady champs—Miss Mary Green. Although she is a beginner in the game, she has the championship material in her; she has begun to drive and knock the old pill around just like the men and if she keeps it up, she is the best looking bet in sight at present. Did we hear someone say Club House or bust? Well, just you 'can' that bust stuff and let's have the Club House; the plans are being drawn up now and as soon as they are finished, the committee will present them to the Federation, and when accepted we will get all particulars, and the much wanted Club House will be on its way. Tennis Chatter BY WM. M. WATSON That "Country Club." Three interesting letters are before us—one from our old friend Harold S. Prince, who is down in the wilds of Arizona, along the Mexican border; and two from gay New York, E. J. Peter's moniker being attached, and all of which impresses us with how badly we are in need of a club house, should some unsuspecting persons take a chance and visit us, where oh where would we intertain the unfortunate individuals? But, there is the convenient "beanyear," also the Chinese Noodle joint," we overlooked these resorts. Somewhat condensed we quote as follows: September 3, 1919 My dear Watson: I have followed with interest your Tennis Notes. Was especially glad of Kemp's success and of the Western Federation of Tennis Club's activities, in whose beginnings I had some part. I want to call your attention to a new constellation in the Tennis Firmament. This aggregation is visible in the Western sky and should therefore come within the scope of your interest. To date the club is only a temporary organization and is nameless, but has already justified its existence in a very interesting and enjoyable tournament Labor Day, upon the enlisted men's courts at the home of the Tenth Cavalry. We have two doubles cement courts that can be flooded with light for night events. These courts are undoubtedly the finest upon the Mexican border and are the results of the efforts of the genial Chaplain of the regiment—O. J. W. Scott, and the generosity of the Quarter Master, inspired by Q. M. Sgt W. W. D. Smith. In the Labor Day affair there were 16 enterials. In the singles inals, Sgt. Cruse of Q. M. C. defeated Sgt. Powell of K Troop. 6-0, 6-1. Eight teams entered the doubles, and in the finals Sgt. Crusie and Sgt. Warner of the 10th Cavalry Band defeated Mr. Gunn, Y. M. C. A. Secretary and James Scott, the Chapain's son, 6-4, 6-4. After everyone had enjoyed reists, I heard a still wee voice say freshments at the quarters of the Club's president, Q. M. Sgt. W. D. Smith, they all returned to the courts and finished the evening with dancing. The Y. M. C. A. Secretaries, Mr. Prince and Mr. Gunn and Mr. Albert Scott have been asked to formulate laws for the permanent organization of the club, and it is our hope that if the regiment is on the border another year we may become a part of the Western Federation and give you folks on the Coast a run next year. New York, N. Y., Sept. 2, 1919. Dear Watson: Well, the National tournament wound up down in New York Saturday night with a big stag. Have been out every night since arriving here—one, two and three a.m.—something stirring "every minute." Kemp managed to sneak away a few nights for rest. Monday, August 18, I met the great National singles champion Tally Holmes, the greatest ambition of my Tennis life, and I was on edge if I do say it myself. For reasons beyond me, the crowd was with me and cheered to the echo: "Am glad to say I fought hint in the greatest game I ever played or ever hope to play. Had it all planned two years ago. We struggled through the first set, 7-5. In the second and final he clashed again, 7-5, but I hope to meet him again. Kemp was sick in bed, and had doctor's attention the day before the finals and but insisted upon' playing next day, and did well in the doubles with E. K. Jones against Holmes and Sylvester Smith, the National champions winning, 6-2, 6-1, 1-6, 6-3. In the mixed doubles, Kemp and Miss. Rae Jost a well fought battle with John Wilkinson and Miss Slowe National champions, 6-2, 7-5. Fifths of Labor Day Tournament. Wendell Gladden, of the -Omega Club won the title of city champion against Ray Matthews, 9-7, 3-6, 6-4. Mrs. Young and Joe Oliver retained their championship by defeating Al Matthews and Lottie Bolds in the finals, 6-1, 6-1. Junior, Boys' and Girls' Championship Tourney—Sept. 9th. Pretty little Gertrude Freeman won the city championship in girl's singles against seven very determined opponents. In the finas, Naomi Wright, president of the Junior Girl's Club lost a hard fought contest to the little champ, 6-2, 6-2. Darkness found Leroy Skiyrd and Theodore Brown pecking away at each other for the boys' championship, so this with the mixed doubles matches were resumed Wednesday afternoon, scores next. 18 players entered to wilt: Minnie Ledbetter, Thelmia Havis, Mary Ragland, Naomi Wright, Mirram Matthews, Gertrude Freeman, Leonidas Simmons, Elizabeth Saunders, Roy Walker, Atwell Rose, Wm. Jones, Theodore Brown, Irvin Taylor, Charles Lee, Odessa Battish, Clark Campbell, Teddy Lee and Leroy Skiyrd.

The Epistle Association gave way to the Y. W. C. A. and Miss Ellen Consuelo Prowd addressed us on "What we owe God. Ourselves and our Fellowman. She pictured the nobleness of God in giving up His only Son to redeem the World, and therefore, said she, it is our duty to give God the best in life. We give God the best of our lives by starting our Christian development in youth. Parents sometime hinder their children's Christian development by telling the little ones that they are too young to understand and that the road is a hard one. Then again they profess Christianity, but lead lives of proxanity, and by so doing they discourage the young people to the extent that they even lose the desire to become identified with the so-called good Christians. What do we owe ourselves? Self-respect. My heart bleeds to see the young men and women of today. When God made woman He intended her to be noble, pure and good. But woman has gone down, down, down. Is there any redemption for her? Yes, the blood of Jesus. Remember young women you set the pace for the men to follow. Let me plead with you to be a blessing to the World and set a noble pace. What do we owe our fellowman? Sympathy and Love. It is sad but I will have to admit it. a good many of us only think for ourselves and really are not bothered about our fellowman. If you think you are going to heaven like that, then you are mistaken. You will have to see Jesus and the mourner's bench again. A minister while preparing his sermon for Sunday was bothered by a poor tramp wanting to know Jesus. The minister told him to kneel beside him and repeat with him the Lord's prayer, which he did. "Our Father"—Stop, said the tramp, is God your father and mine?" "Yes," said the minister. "Then we are brothers, said the tramp, "and would you like to see your brother going like this?" "No!" replied the minister. When realizing his duty more clearly he administered unto his material need, by sending him to one of his deacons who was a Shoe-merchant. When the tramp got there he told the shoe merchant that he was—the minister's brother, and that he had sent him to a pair of shoes. After picking out a Fourteen Dollar pair, he left. The next week the minister dropped in to pay his bill and to his surprise was told what the man had said. "Not" said the minister. "He is basking his facts on the Lord's prayer. How much is my bill?" Fourteen Dollars," said the deacon. "Fourteen Dollars? Why the idea, when I wear only Eight Dollar shoes. Anyhow, kneel down and say the Lord's prayer with me." "Our Father"—"Stop," said the minister. "God is my father and yours?" "Yes," replied the deacon. "Then we are brother; here is Seven Dollars, and you pay the rest." That is the right kind of spirit to have each and everyone fulfilling their duty towards their fellowman; until then, we will not have done our Christian duty that God intended us to do. "If there be some weakerone Give me strength to help him on If a blinder soul there be, Help me lead him nearer thee." SAYS MEXICO WELCOMES AMER ICAN NEGRO. Noted Mexican Jurist Visits Los Angeles and Addresses Convention. Licentiate Juan B. Uribe from Mexico, of Ensenada, Lower California, Mexico, who has for thirty-five years practised law in the Penninsula of Lower California and who is recognized as one of the foremost authorities on Mexican jurisprudence in the entire Republic of Mexico, was a visitor in the city last week, being a guest at the Auditorium Hotel for a period of three days. Senior Uribe's visit was occasioned by the winding up of legal matters incident to transfer of the famous Santa Clara Ranch containing nearly nine thousand acres in Lower California, Mexico, to the Lower California California Mexican Land & Development Company. On Friday night Licentiate Tribe made a short address before the Western Baptist Convention in session at the New Hope Baptist Church. Paloma Street near 15th St. After Senior Uribe's address, and while on his way to the train, San Diego from which point he was to take the boat for Ensenada, Lower California. Senior Uribe took occasion to express himself concerning the Colored Americans in Mexico. Among other things he said. "As I looked into the bright and intelligent faces of the large gathering of my colored brethren, at the Baptist Convention I was impressed with the fact that the colored American will not much longer be content with the mental positions, in # 2. 判断下列句子中哪个是正确的。 life. I believe my colored American in the United States have in their ranks talent of every kind and description. They are men capable of being Government Officials of all kinds. The young men and women have an aptitude about them which peculiarly fits them for all kinds of producing and industrial effort. "My only regret is that it is not physically possible to immediately transport several millions of these five people who are my brothers and sisters to my beloved Mexico, where the earth yields her riches as nowhere else and where life has a charm to be found nowhere else and where people are not disturbed by artificial standards of race or color. It is my sincere hope that the Lower California movement which has been started by certain Colored men, in the State of California will spread throughout the United States to such an extent that several millions of Colored American men and women will settle throughout the penninsula of Lower California, the mainland of Mexico, and on some of the wonderful islands that belong to our Republic." When asked about the newspaper reports of the threatened invasion of Mexico by the United States Senor Uribe said: "It is all yellow journalism on the part of the oil interests which center largely in Los Angeles and New York. These men who have taken millions out of Mexico in the form of oil in years past without paying any taxes are now resenting the fact that the Mexican government requires them to pay about half as much tax on a barrel of oil taken out of the ground of Mexico as the American government requires them to pay on the same size barrel of oil taken out of the ground in California. Their protests, however, are in vain and they will have to pay the taxes. Nobody in Mexico pays any serious attention to their frantic yellow journalism in the United States. And while white Americans are treated far better in Mexico than Mexicans are treated in the United States it is a fact hat Colored Americans are decidedly more welcome in Mexico than the average domineering white American who comes into our midst. We have absolutely no fear of an invasion of Mexico by the United States; for Mexico has no desire to invade the United States and we realize that the civilized nations of the earth will come to our relief in the event of such an attempted invasion as they came to the relief of Belgium when Germany violated her neutrality." When asked concerning the date when the Santa Clara Valley should be formally transferred to the Lower California Mexican Land & Development Company, Senior Uribe said: "It would be some time within the next thirty days or as soon as some tax receipts were received from Mexico City." "I think," said he, "that the acquisition of the Santa Clara Valley is the finest step that the Colored American brothers have yet made for their economic and political freedom." MY ACTIVITIES IN THE CAM PAIGN OF THE WORLD'S GREATEST WAR. (Continued from Page Six) them or their village and they would not be prepared. By this time I had begun to be a permanent base for cooties, and it seemed as if I could not get rid of my companions. We stayed in Loisy until November 4th, getting cleaned up, which was badly needed by this time, and getting ready for Winter, as it had already begun to get cold. While in the Front Line this time, we went over the top almost daily on day-light raiding parties, and on patrols every night, sometimes twice a night, capturing German patrols whenever we could. We were constantly here day and night until the night or morning rather of the 10th when we were to start our drive on that great city of "Metz," the strongest fortified city in the world. Five A. M. was zero hour and over the top we went in combat, group formation. We advanced on steadily until we were resisted, but that did not last long as we soon knocked those machine gun nests out and kept on until night, then we dug in where we were. We had then broken all records of the war as we had not only advanced on the sector but we had actually changed the map of the Western Front, as we had gained and kilos to the Allies' holdings as we had gone beyond our objective which was Bois Hrehaut and that had been taken early during the day. The next morning, tired, thirsty, hungry but honcs still high we pushed on to complete our task, distributing death to any who opposed our progress; but we were moving too rapidly forward as we had begun to get within range of our own artillery, which was moving some, so we waited until our guns could move up to protect us, or otherwise our own artillery would have wiped us out, as it has happened WHEN THE 365TH INFANTY WENT TO THE TRENCHES. Twas a dark and gloomy night, when the boys were sleeping sound. When to the headquarters came orders by the laison may around, to the trenches we go without any noise or sound. The eagerness or quickness in men had never before been found. They marched with alacrity and sturdiness to their designated places. To await the sign of the BOCHE if ever they showed their faces. We waited and listened for any be trayal of their idiocycralcles: But over NO MAN'S LAND wouldn't see anything to shell-torn spaces. It was the second when we heard the sound like the cutting of our wire. When all at once like a bursting cloud we opened a direct fire. But when FKRTZ found we were alert like a lion in his fire. He returned like a howling dog without accomplishing his desire. Oh how we wanted to get at that dirty sneeking bunch. But our Officers told us to wait as they had been given a hunch. So we reloaded our rifles and timed our bomb, and over the parapet we crunched. But no more did they show as we waited until after lunch. With cannons roaring and bombs bursting over our parapet. We stuck to our post waiting for orders, that you can bet. But we wanted to go over the top, no the time was set. So we just returned the fire and waited for the rest. One morning after "Stand To" they tried to slip the gas. But we boys were alert and expected anything they tried to pass. So after all was over we observed by looking through our glasses That the "Katser" must have concluded that the 365th is one of America's Classiest. —Corp. Alexander Dumas Watson, Co. C. 365th Infantry, A. E. F. quite often with other troops. While we were there waiting to get the word to move on the commander of the battalion received a message to cease firing at 10.45 a. m. Well, we knew something was up but we did not know the "Kaiser" had had enough, but we were so sorry, that we couldn't finish the job of taking "Mets" as the Armistice saved it, that's all. At 10.45 we quit and at 11.10 when we were sure that all was safe we went over to where the Boches were and exchanged greetings. They were glad, you bet, as they grasped our hands and those who could speak English talked to us quite a while. They asked us if we were high-priced soldiers as they did not seem to understand how and why we fought in the daytime, as that looked like sure suicide to them. We ate with them and talked until our officers made us withdraw. I do hereby certify that the above are facts concerning my personal activities during the "World's Greatest War."

Hill, formerly of this city, but later of San Jose, and now in Vallejo, California, will be glad to know that he is in the bustling town of Vallejo and very successfully pastoring the Baptist church of that city. Rev. Hill is a hard and conscientious church worker who will give to the people the very best service wherever he may go and his estimable wife is likewise a strong support in all of his efforts. To The Cal. Eagle: Second Baptist Church of Vallejo, California is making wonderful progress under the leadership of their newly elected pastor G. W. Hill, formerly of Los Angeles. The Rev. Hill resigned the Antioch Baptist Church of San Jose, Cal., the fourth Sunday in April and came to us on the Second Sunday in May. When he came to us he found us in debt, a debt that has been hanging for over ten years. As soon as he was on the job, he got busy and called the members together. In thirty days he raised over $600.00, put the church out of debt, put $225.53 in the Bank, added 15 members to the church. Rev. Hill is working hard to raise the moral standard in our little city. He is also planning to build a Ten Thousand Dollar Church building and parsonage. Our present church is too small to accommodate; the large crowds that are attending church since he has been among us. Rev. Hill is a soul-winning Gospel Preacher and Christian gentleman. Too much praise can't be accorded him for his wonderful work among us. H. S. AMERSON, Church Reporter 226 Florida St., Vallejo, Cal.

We took a southerly direction to avoid those terfrible submarines which at that time were bent on destroying every- thing afloat: During the trip we en- conntered several, but we drove them away by the tune of our big guns which had been placed there since the war began for that purpose. On landing in France, we thought we were going to see a wonderful sight bat the first appearance of Brest was ansthing-but pleasing, at that time there were no wharves to amount to anything, the streéts were filthy and it seemed as tf the popula- tion was very badly affected ‘by the war. ‘ We wate then marched to our “amp which was nothing otner than a field of mud. and pitched our tents. It wag in Jue {t was true, but you would have thomsbt;it! was winter as the nights there are very cold and damp. We stayed there five days and then we entrained for our training camp for our finishing touches before we went into battle. “We started about five that morning, but as usual in the army, we did not leave Brest until about noon, in the meantime they gave us our rations which consisted of corn beef, better known ‘as “Corn Willie" hard tacks, it being my first taste of them. You have got to have good teeth, and that is’ one reason why this war wanted nothing but young men. Then aléo we were given one can of jam to last three days for eight men got that, and some carned benns and a few cans.of tomatoes; I don’t remember now just how many, but now we are off on our trip. We left going due east and we saw lots of things not accustomed to the American eye. First we noticed that the architecture was not of the mod- ern type like that of our’s,-as when they build they build to stay as their houses usually last for generations. Most o. then are made out of cement. ‘We also noticed that they have no firct nights’ experiences in actual warfare. . The first time we stayed in the trenches from August 27th until Oc- |tober 4th when we were relieved by | another compans of our battalion. | We went back to Hurbache for a | brief rest.
