Indication of the increase in deposits which will accrue to Des Moines banks thru the location here of the cantonment with a pay roll reaching into the millions every month, was presented by the first monthly payment of the Negro candidates for commissions in the training camp at Fort DesMoines last week. Savings account were opened by about 10 per cent. of the pay checks for the first deposits. The conscript men will receive less but are certain to include many of saving inclinations.—Des Moines Capitol. Columbus, O.,—Col. Charles Young of the Tenth U. S. Cavalry, who has been detailed to command the new Ohio Colored regiment now being recruited, arrived here late Monday afternoon, and is registered at the Litchfield hotel Col. Young will at once take charge, and it is expected that, under the direction of this experienced and efficient commanding officer the new regiment will quickly be recruited up to full strength. The colonel looks the part of an officer, and is in fine health, and ready for immediate service.—The Advocate. Colored cavalrymen of the 9th and 10th Regiments acted as an escort to Marshal Joffre at West Point.

C.,—The color line will not be drawn a gainst the Negro in sending American troops to France The question did not arise when the first division of regulars was ordered to Europe, as all the Colored regiments except cavalry were on duty outside the continental United States. It is expected that the Negro will make a better fighting man the superior in every way for such operations as are now being conducted on the western front, than any of the nonwhite troops employed there by either Great Britian or France. The East Indians proved a lamentable failure in France. Military observers assert that Lord Roberts really lost his life in an effort to rally the panic stricken Indians after their contact with the German army. He failed, and the Indians were virtually abandoned for European fighting. Ft. Des Moines, Iowa — Money order business of the Des Moines postoffice has in creased considerably since the coming of the Negro troopers to Ft. Des Moines, officials say. One night recently after the regular money order window had closed a special window issued about seventy orders, aggregating $1,800, to Negro soldiers. The orders were sent to all parts of the United States.—De Moines Capitol. The fifth tour of the Williams' Concert Company will bring this wonderful organization to Denver, Tuesday evening, August 7th. While the last two concerts were held at the great Auditorium, it was impossible to accommodate the multitudes who desired to hear them. Every box seat, parquet, dress circle and front balcony seat was sold before the program began, while hundreds were disappointed. There is every indication that the popularity of these people is still in the ascendant and the fortunate citizens will be those who get tickets in advance. It is difficult to get our friends to realise the utter demoralisation of the box office on the afternoon preceding the engagement. As early as 12 o'clock long lines of eager ticket baggers have stood before the Auditor- DENVER, GOLORADO, SATURDAY, AUG. 4, 1917 STRUGGLING FOR THEIR RIGHTS Hilburn, N. Y., July 16, 1917.

Any justification for the calling of such an assemblage in a group of loyal Americans, numbering fully twelve million, casts a damaging reflection on our national sense of justice and Christian practice. A Speedy Get-together Needed. And yet, in view of unjust and unbearable conditions that continue, with increasing horror, to afflict all Colored Americans, we challenge this nation, and the world to show why we have not just and sufficient cause for a speedy and general getting together at this time, in self-interest and in self defense. However much this may reflect on our boast ed Christian Democracy, it is, nevertheless, the truth and nothing but the truth. Therefore, by the authority vested in me as president of the National Equal Rights League, I do hereby issue this call for the tenth annual convention of said League, and also for the second National Congress of All Colored Americans to convene in September. There are no words in any language that can adequate-portray the increasingly appalling humiliation to which we Colored Americans are being daily subjected in certain prejudiced-cursed sections of this country. The party in power has its iron heels on our necks. Our nation's chief executive and his associates in power, has not only done more less for us, but has done more against us, than any other administration since the days of Abraham Lincoln. The ruthless disregard for our civil, social and political rights; the fiendish destruction of our hard-earned property; the shameful segregations and humiliating discriminations everywhere enforced against us; the horrible of Colored men, women and children in both southern and northern states, and the sleeping apathy of the American conscience present a picture so infernally horrible as must cause laughter in Hell and weeping in Heaven. The fresh, warm blood of innocent men, women and children of color, that clods the clay in East St. Louis, Ill., cries aloud to our racial leaders and to our great masses, TO GET TOGETHER. In the face of such unspeakable horrors who can justly charge us with lack of patriotism because we are forced to pause in the midst of international strife and to raise our shackled hands and our unheeded cry in defense of our own outraged manhood? If White Americans during such trying times can cling with such a struggling grip to their color-phobia, should we be blamed for striking a blow for our own continued existence? When the Caucasian, while plunged into the very hell of war, and death, and national and racial decay, can find time at every turn of the road to practice his vile color schemes against us, it is high time that we poor, oppressed burden bearers of the nation, should call a halt to the oppressor's rod. So heavy grows our burden, and so galling becomes our yoke that patience on our part will soon become a crime against ourselves Therefore, let us come together. Let us gather from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and with the combined wisdom and strength of the race, let us "round about," and confront, and combat the forces of evil that sorely oppress us. If the flag for which we have always fought and bled can find no way to restrain the "polutee, blood-blistered, crime-cankered hands that continue their wicked slaughter of our wives and children, let us get to gether and find a way, or make a way, that will lead to freedom. If, under prevailing conditions, we cannot get to gether and hang together, our enemies will continue to hang us separately. Any person, white or Colored, who preaches that "this is not the proper time for the Negro to air his own griev- M. S. S. The above is a picture of one of our own women brutally shot down by the East St. Louis, Illinois mob. Her only crime was, that she is a Negro. O Lord, how long? Kindness of N. A. A. C. P., New York City. ances and to speak in his own behalf," is a dangerous ally to our vilest oppressors. Colored and white pacifists who, during the past have apologized for wrongs against us that they should have fought, constitute one of the root causes of our present appalling condition in this country. So far as relates to our case at this juncture in American history, a Negro pacifist ought to be an impossibility, and a pacifist of any other race, claiming to be our friend deserves to be branded as our foe in sheep's clothing. All organizations--churches lodges, business and fraternal societies—among us, through out these United States, are cordially invited and earnestly urged to send one, or more delegates to represent them in this, the tenth annual convention of the National Equal Rights League, and the Second National Congress of All Colored Americans. Without regard to creed, sect, sex or party, let us come together, and compel public attention to our demand for a "square deal" as citizens of this great republic. Let the entire Colored American population, in all sections of this great country, be strongly represented at this great Race Congress. Yours for one, great, united move for freedom. BRYON GUNNER, President of the National Equal Rights League. Race Men Hold Silent Parade in New York. New York, July 28.—As a protest against the recent E. St. Louis race riots, Negro residents of New York have arranged for a demonstration today, to take the form of a silent parade down Fifth Avenue. It was announced that more than 2,000 had signified their intention to join in the demonstration. FIVE CENTSJA CORE. AMERICANISM FROM OUR ANGLE. Americanism means love of liberty, tolerance, intelligence justice; it means work and duty and social service; it means strong character, a clean life, and conserving the physical mental and moral forces to run well the race of life; it means principle rather than self interest, moral cour age at a sacrifice. a courage that is stronger than the powers of darkness. It is a great privilege, never before as today, to be young and in the rush of tremendous world events. History is making rapidly in our Republic, and the educated youth, equip ped for self-help and service mindful of the God of our fathers, and inspired by the ideals that made us an American people and have thus far preserved us in good and evil days, will shape its destiny. For self, for fellow citizens, for the peoples of the world, for civilization; let youth embody the true American spirit and stand for the best in the nation's life. -Young America Boston, Mass.—For the first time in the history of Boston colored waiters are to be admitted to the union. The decision to invite colored waiters to become members was reached last week at a special meeting of the Waiter's Union, Local 34. The four hundred Negro waiters employed at the Hay ward, Woodstock, Langham and Healey's cafes, and the Copley Square and Colonial Hotels have been asked to be come union men. The white waiters have just won a strike here, compelling eating places to pay $35 monthly and give them one day in seven off. The wage committee of the union has promised to take steps to obtain the same terms for the colored men. Church News CAMPBELL CHAPEL AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH, 23rd & LAWRENCE. A. M. WARD. Minister.

Sunday morning's congregation comfortably filled the auditorium and contained a number of out of town visitors. The pastor's sermon dealt with the great world-war and brought home some pertinent lessons for the Church as the deciding factor in the awful conflict. It is evident that the thoughtful among us are wakening up to the gravity of the terrible cataclysm which is engulfing civilization and that the Christian Church is on trial as it has not been before. In times like these a call to prayer is the first need of the Church. At the evening service the subject for the stereopticon service was "The Seven Last Words From the Cross." A large congregation was deeply impressed with soulful lecture of the pastor, illustrated by seven wonderful pictures of the suffering Christ on the cross. The service opened with the illustrated song, "Rock of Ages" and closed with ten beautifully touching scenes from "The Ninety and Nine." Dr. Harvey, of Lawrence, Kansas, a former "comrade in arms" of the pastor during the Spanish-American war, was a worshipper at the evening service and was introduced to the audience.

A. NOTES. One of the best meetings held at the Y. M. C. A. for a long while was the one which was held in memory of our late chairman, Dr. De Frantz, last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. All the hymns sung were those which Dr. De Frantz used to like so well. The addresses were brief, earnest and extremely sympathetic. Some of the sentiments expressed were as follows: "He was a splendid example of the real Christian man." "His great love and devotion for his family were among the most beautiful traits of his life." "When he spoke in religious meetings he put the ardor of his soul in his words." "He was a Christian—not a talking one, but a doing one." "He was busy in the church, busy in the community and busy in his home, but he found time for spiritual cultivation." (This hymn, "Take Time to Be Holy," was here sung.) "He had patience with the limitations of others." "I was ashamed to say anything wrong before him." "I met him in Bible study and young people's meetings." "I found no fault in the man." Dr. Harvey of Kansas and his nieces were present and spoke; also Mr. Fleming of Arkansas. Those who were here Saturday afternoon witnessed one of the most exciting croquet games of the season played by Sims with Bell for a partner, and King, who was ably supported by Cherry of Illinois. The latter players carried off the first game with comparative ease, even though all the players got to be rovers. It looked as though they were going to claim the second—infact they were claiming the second game; that is King was. Indeed they were already to "peg out," when the fortunes of the game suddenly changed, and their opponents forced them back to the far end of the court, and all was over. It was in the third and final game, however, that sensation followed sensation in rapid succession. As in the two former games, all the players were rovers together, each side earnestly contending for the peg. Bell was just about to end the game when it was discovered that he had "fouled" by using the wrong ball. Three minutes later Sims was about to play himself and partner against the peg when King shouted that he had "fouled" by playing from across the playing line. King's memory, however, was very short, for five minutes later he was about to end the game with a final shot; but Sims was already down upon his knees with his finger resting upon the spot showing that King had likewise "fouled" by playing from outside the line. King could not yield the point, so the game was drawn, the score ending 1-1. Another contest next Saturday at 4 o'clock. --- All the good people of Denver are asked to decorate their homes in honor of our visiting delegates to the National Convention of the American Woodmen. Large, felt, inlaid pennants, 13 by 36 inches with appropriate wording, have been secured by the head camp and may be had for one dollar each; smaller pennants with similar designs may be had for fifty cents each. Especially are the persons who are contemplating caring for the delegates asked to secure one of these pennants. A number of the colored business houses are having appropriate streamers made for the occasion. A large streamer 9 feet by 12 inches, appropriately lettered, may be obtained for one dollar if the order is placed with the heda camp in time.

Leadership of Dr. V. H. Harris, Grand Secretary, Seen In the Wonderful Achievements of the Organization. By ALBON L. HOLSEY. Athens, Ga.—The new and beautiful headquarters and office building of the Improved Order of Samaritans was dedicated here recently with impressive ceremonies. The building, which is modern in every respect, was erected at a cost of $35,000 and is one of the most beautiful buildings in this historic southern city and is located on one of the main business streets. The dedicatory exercises were presided over by T. K. Persley, vice grand chief of the Samaritans, who after reciting some of the achievements of the order, which has 16,000 members in the state, introduced Dr. S. Melville Pitt of Elberton, Ga., who in part said: "This order stands for progress, for advancement and for growth in community building and race consciousness. This building stands as a monument to the progress and achievements of this organization and to the indomitable will and unswerving perseverance of Dr. W. H. Harris. "A few years ago it was said jestingly that the Negro had no flag and that the Stars and Stripes signified the relationship between the races—that is, M. DR. W. H. HARRIS. the stars typified the glory of the white man, while the stripes represented the badge of crime of the Negro. But the days of these idie jests have passed." At this juncture the Hon. B. J. Davia, who came through the country in his car from Atlanta to deliver the principal address, was greeted by the large audience with great applause. Mr. Davis in part said: "We Negroes depend too much on God and on the legislature. We must follow the white man's example and learn to do some of the fundamental things for ourselves. Some Negroes think that God is better to the white man than he is to the colored man because he is white. That is not true. The white man works. God gives him health and strength just like he gives us, but the white man works and makes every lick count. I have more respect for the man who owns his home, a farm or a horse and has a bank account than the bareheaded philosopher who sits on the street corner and whines about his rights. "In every state in which subterfuger have been invoked to cut down the Negro vote, to molest and intimidate him into that degree of physical fear where he will not present himself to exercise his manhood rights, that state is not democratic and its government is unjust. Ten million Negroes of this country, who own over $1,000,000,000 worth of property, are governed without their representative participation, and that is one of the vulnerable points in America's battle cry that we are entering this world war to make the world safe for democracy." The building is a fine brick structure. It has two large stores on the first floor and twelve suits of offices on the second floor. On the third floor is a large hall used for lodge purposes, dances, banquets and public gatherings. It has all modern improvements. It is now fully occupied by colored merchants, doctors, dentists, insurance agents and the offices of the order. The only colored branch of the National Red Cross in Georgia has offices in this building. The building was planned by L. H. Persley, assistant director of the division of mechanical drawing of Tuskegee institute and was erected by Walker Bros, of Macon, a well known firm of colored contractors. The officers of the state organization are H. Guile, grand chief, Lumpkin, Ga.; Dr. W. H. Harris, grand secretary, Athens, Ga. G, G: Wiles, past grand chief, Monroe Ga.; T. K. Persley, vice grand chief Macon, and G. A. Cunningham, Carlton, grand treasurer. The Samaritans of Georgia have paid out more than $100,000 to members and in addition appropriated $35,000 for this new building within the past five years.

HAMPA 2763 PHONE YORK 4039-J DENVER, COLORADO A DON'T GAMBLE HERE ARE A NUMBER REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY STOCK IN THE "SILVER PLUME CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY:" Number 1. WE HAVE LARGE PROPERTIES of great richness located near Silver Plume, Colorado, 52 miles from Denver, where your money will help to develop the richest silver mining district in America. Number 2. WE HAVE TEN CLAIMS, APPROXIMATELY 100 acres, in which there has been over $25,000 development work done consisting of a number of tunnels showing surface values on the out-croppings with well-defined mineral lodes, with development which will open immense lodes of ore. Number 3. MR. JOSHUA BUXTON WORKED just one of these 10 claims for 20 years and supported a family of 18 in grand style, working an average of one day a week. Number 7. WE HAVE NOW RAISED A substantial amount of money. When we have all we require for the development work, which tunnels and trams should be completed within 6 or 9 months after the required amount of money has been raised, it is safe to predict that we should be paying dividends within 8 to 10 months or less than a year after our work has been completed. We are going to put in a gravity tram to shoot the ore to the bottom of the hill from the before-mentioned dump, which will only cost us 25c per ton to put in the cars, as compared to the original cost to us of $8.00 per ton for carrying same down the mountain side on jacks or burros. Our capacity should be 100 tons per day when this Aerial cable transfer is in operation. Number 8. THE MANAGEMENT and officers of this corporation are gentlemen of broad affairs and large business experiences, who have many thousand dollars of their own good money in Number 4. WE HAVE STARTED a tunnel, 400 feet below these ten claims, which, when driven 700 feet, will cut all of the 10 lodes and should open up large deposits of very rich silver ore. Number 5. WE HAVE TWO developed mines $ \frac{1}{2} $ mile from Silver Plume, comprising two tunnels about one-fourth of a mile each in length, from which we have been shipping silver values ranging from $ 50.00 $ per ton to $ 100.00 $ per ton, since the 24th day of last December. We are now extending these workings to get larger shipping capacity. Number 6. WE ALSO HAVE A LARGE DUMP, which in size covers more space than the new Denver Post Office Building, containing a great many thousands of tons of ore already mined and ready for the smelter. It is interesting to note how this dump occurred: In the early days of mining, when they had no railroads and no smelters here, silver ore had to be shipped by ox-carts to Omaha, Nebraska, thence by rail to New York, and then by water to Swansea, Wales, to be treated in the smelter there. The freight and treatment charges on same cost $90.00 and over per ton, so all values that ran ton or less was thrown on this dump as waste. Today the same ore can be treated, including freight charges not to exceed $5.75 per ton, which should give us an average profit of about $8.25 per ton and should alone return to each stockholder many dollars for every original dollar invested.

Replying to your request for the reason I invested in stock of your company, wish to say that after a very thorough investigation of your company during which time I spent nearly a week going over your properties at Silver Plume I found that all the statements you made were not only true but conservative. I was greatly impressed with the efficient management and splendid location of your Lone Wolf claim on Republican Mountain, which I am reliably informed is one of the richest mountains in silver, lead and zinc deposits in America. The very high grade ore that comes from this district and the very important fact that there have been no mine failures of properties opened in the Silver Plume District, all had a bearing on my decision to invest all the money I possibly could in your company and advising my friends to do the same. I consider I am doing my friends a favor when I tell them of your company as I do not see how you can fail to show earnings of over a hundred per cent. per annum or your entire capital stock.

Number 9. IN THESE 13 PIECES of property altogether comprised of 3 parcels of property merged into one consolidation, makes a gigantic and attractive proposition for investors, when you stop to think that there has never been a single mine failure on the North Mountain of Silver Plume in the history of that great mining camp.

THE TIME TO BUY STOCK in a Company of this kind is NOW, while the property is in a state of development. Our stock is now selling at 50c a share and should be selling for $1.00 per share in less than 90 days and we feel that it is a safe prediction to say that this stock ought to sell around $5.00 per share in a few years.

WHERE HEALTH, WEALTH AND PLEASURE CAN ALL BE FOUND. THE GEORGETOWN BOARD OF MINES AND COMMERCE. MR. A. CONWAY, Denver, Colo. Replying to your request for information regarding Silver Plume District as a producer of Silver Ore, would say, this camp is known as one of the richest Silver producers in this country, and is particularly famous for the richness of its ore and extent of its ore deposits, which seem almost inexhaustible, as some of the earliest producing mines of this district are still among the largest shippers of high grade ore. The shipments from the before-mentioned district is onw averaging over $80.00 per ton, which is probably the highest average for Silver and Lead ore of any mining camp in the country, which is also one of the largest producers. Another favorable condition of this district is the absolute lack of failure, every mine so far as my knowledge extends, having an exceptional success, a large number who started in a small way have produced millions already. The richest and largest producers being located on the Republican, Sherman and Democratic mountains. Present developments indicate that Silver Plume will soon be the greatest lead, zinc and silver camp in the country. I believe the Silver Plume Consolidated Mining Company's properties are ideally located and great possibilities are ahead of them. Very truly yours, TALLMAGE KYNER Pres. Board of Mines and Commerce EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBE VALUES. ERNEST LE NEVE FOSTER, Denver, Colo. June 25, 1917. MR. A. J. CONWAY, I have been acquainted with the mines upon Republican Mountain, above Silver Plume, Clear Creek County, Colorado, since January, 1872, having operated mines there from that time to the present, living at the foot of it many years, as well as at Georgetown. I thus have a personal and intimate knowledge of the output, as well as the discovery of many of the mines. The ores which have been extracted from this mountain have been of an unusually high grade in silver. Many tons exceeding one thousand ounces silver per ton have passed through my hands. It is true that rich ores have also been taken from the adjacent mountains, but there are none which have a record of as high a general average from a like area. In addition to mining I did a great deal of assaying in the early seventies, as well as purchased ores for shipment to Europe, therefore this statement is made not from hearsay but from practical experience. In 1872 the cost of shipment of ores to England, including the treatment charge there, was about ninety dollars per ton, so that ores of less silver content than one hundred ounces per ton, could not be shipped; amalgamating and chlorination mills at Georgetown at that time treated some of the less rich ores, but I think it is safe to say nothing less than fifty ounce ore was saved, everything else being thrown into the dumps. I make these statements with the endeavor to state correctly as far as human imperfections of memory about observations and experience of between forty and fifty years ago permit, and the natural proneness to exaggeration which time so frequently develops, in regard to happenings of the past, and believe that what I have said is fair and not overestimated.

WAR AND SOCIAL PROBLEMS More Efficiency and Loyalty Urged by National Conference Members. The great war and its social problems overshadowed every other topic on the Pittsburgh program of the National Conference of Social Work. To 4,300 men and women who had come together from many states to exeha ideas and receive fresh inspiration for their social service work there was brought home the thought of the necessity of doing their present work more skillfully, more economically and more wisely. To cripple, through lack of men and money, the social work which has been palmstakingly developed through long years of struggle, thinking people realize is truly shortsighted. The committee on resolutions, Hastings H. Hart, Thomas B. Mayman and Robert W. Kelso, departing from the usual policy of the conference, made the following recommendations, which were heartily adopted: "The National Conference of Social Work places on record, in behalf of the great majority of its 4,300 members, their intense loyalty and their purpose to support the president and the government of the United States in the prosecution of this war in the interest of liberty and democracy. "The obligation to make every necessary sacrifice rests with double weight upon the organizations for social welfare. We therefore commend the patriotism of those social organizations which are lending their most efficient workers for the national service in the government departments, the national Red Cross, the movement for conserving health and morals in the army and navy by wholesome recreation and by eliminating temptations to intemperance and vice. "On the other hand, we would emphasize the insistence of the president of the United States as to the necessity for conserving those agencies which operate to maintain public morals, public health and the producing forces of the community. We therefore urge the importance of maintaining the full force and efficiency of the agencies for social work and of securing for all of them adequate support in view of the new and pressing demands created by the war, especially those agencies which make for the preservation and improvement of public health and family life, the protection of motherhood and the preservation of children from the destructive and demoralizing influences of war. "We urge the maintenance throughout the war of all our standards for the protection of industrial employees, especially women and children. The lending of social workers for the national service should not include so large a number as to cripple the effectiveness of these vital agencies, which are among the most essential sulwarks for the national defense."

You cannot make big money by working with your hands or feet. Your brains must make the money while you sleep. For that reason, The Denver Star and the Colored American Loan and Realty Co. are urging all of its friends to "get into buying good stocks" when they are cheap and then sell when they advance, either doubling or trebling your money. The Douglas-Wyoming stocks are now 50c to the public, The Salt Creek Petroleum is now $1.00, while the same officers of the Big Five Fields now offer you stock of land adjoining the Douglas-Wyoming for 50c a share. We urge every Negro to get in on this as a good investment; take from $5 to $100 worth of stock and then when it goes up to -0.15 or 25c, if you want, then sell, doubling your money. If you bought $5 worth of stock at 50c and it only increased to 10c in a year, you would make 100 per cent, getting more than the 4 per cent a year on $100 in saving account. While the Wyoming oil fields are young get your holdings now, sacrifice, and deny, do you expect to work all your life? Some of you have seen Cripple Creek gold mining camps, start, flourish and make themselves wealthy and you are still working, getting $25 per month yet. Let us get busy, and buy as safe as we can and have some of the finished fat grain when the harvest comes in. See Mr. Waller now. Arrange to buy stock. You are going to spend the money anyway, so why not put it where it can do the most good? Buy Five Fields Oil stock at 50. All the delegates and visiting friends are especially invited to be present Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, at Shorter's Chapel, where the sessions of the American Woodman Convention will be held. The church will be beautifully decorated for the occasion and a splendid program will be rendered at that time. Visiting friends will be introduced and the Supreme Commander will deliver his annual address. Especially are all members of the local camp urged to be present. HELPING HAND PROVES ITS NAME. Thru the expert management of Mesdames Laura Hill, assisted by Mrs. Hughes and others, the Helping Hand Bazaar was such a grand success that, from the net proceeds realized, they will be able to install a new furnace in two or three weeks and have already paid for ten tons of winter coal for the Presbyterian church. All the ladies connected with the bazaar are proudly wearing smiles. Vivian Smith, who is at Estes Park for the summer, is making good. He is one of the most popular boys of the mountain town.

The American Woodmen, the largest and strongest insurance society among the Negroes, whose offices are located here, will be here in August, and The Star sincerely trusts all of our business places will go to some expense and decorate for their coming. No better demonstration could be made than for the Negroes themselves to lead off in boosting, honoring and welcoming our many guests in such a gala manner. These men and women, and this occasion, will be just as big and representative as we ourselves make it. The fraternal insurance society will have its hands full working out details. There is a duty devolved upon each and every citizen, and each ought to play his or her part. After they have been invited here they are our guests and we should thus honor them. Not only them, but the coming Eastern Star and the National Federation of Women's Clubs. Get busy and let each home prepare to put out flags — American — while our business places will properly display bunting and the like.

Northwestern Federation Shows Patriotism Northwestern Federation Shows Patriotic Spirit--Considers Home First. Chicago.-Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter of this city, who is the president of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, has issued an open letter to all member clubs of the federation and to the press. Mrs. Porter says: "When we organized we did so to foster and encourage our women's organizations in club work along sane, intelligent and progressive measures. Following this line of action, we have felt it wise and expedient that we should be in accord with the national feeling which is prevalent, and with the idea of the National Council of Defense, which is discouraging the holding of sectional meetings. "In harmony with these feelings we have postponed the meeting of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, to meet the week before the National Association of Colored Women in 1918 at the same place, Cheyenne, Wyo., where we were to be entertained this year by the Women's Searchlight club of Cheyenne. "Again, our women are needed at their homes constantly as possible just now in view of the fact that our husbands, sons, sweethearts and fathers are about to be mustered into the federal service, as it appears now, just a few days before the date of our postponed meeting, which was to occur July 31 and the first three days of August. The money which we would have spent on such a trip must be conservatively spent, in view of the fact that living expenses have taken an upward flight. "It seems that we are doing the most effective club work at this time by establishing a precedent by conserving home interests primarily and sending out from that source such messages of cheer and good will and by example showing that our work is that of protecting home first and letting everything noble, uplifting and farreaching evolve from it. "Will you therefore use your organs of publicity just at this time in publishing this? I am in the midst of a campaign, of which I am chairman, the object of which is to raise $1,000 in the next few weeks for extension work in the Phillips Wheatley home, the object of which is set forth in the circular letter sent out by the federation to the various clubs." PLEA FOR EQUAL JUSTICE. Maxwell Says Race Is Willing to Stand on Its Merit. William H.

From that idea I am sure no God serving man or woman will dissent. "But may I say to the American people through your newspaper that the world must also be made safe for the Negro? The Negroes in America are sorely distressed. There are millions of bleeding hearts under the jackets of millions of humiliated and depressed Negroes, and this, too, because of the unfair treatment dealt out to them at the hand of the world's greatest democracy. "The Negro craves his chance. He fairly longs for opportunity to serve according to his hand and not according to his face. He wants to be reckoned with as a man. If he is really to hit the mat he wants to hit it only after having-had a fair chance in the struggle. He wants justice. He wants life. He wants liberty and his right to pursue happiness. Without life and liberty no man can pursue happiness. "May I urge upon the good white people of America to give the Negro what he merits? Let this great nation firmly adhere to all things which are right and maintain abounding faith in the power of the unseen hand. Since all America hopes to get at least the crust of the bread of democracy for the world, please bear in mind that the Negroes of America are a part of the world and would like very much to have a little piece of the crust."

Most Wonderful Musical Instrument Give Me a Trial PETITI President TITION TO THE We, as American citizens, respectfully state to the Government of the United States that Ireland is a distinct nation, deprived of her liberty by force and held in subjection by England by military power alone. As America has entered the war for the preservation of democracy and the freedom of small nationalities, this Government is in honor bound to apply this principle impartially in all cases, properly held, by the people of Ireland, Germany, like Belgium or of England, like Ireland. As America cannot be a party to any scheme of world-peace which withholds from any nation the God-given right of freedom the only final settlement must be the complete independence of Ireland. America has the right, by her entry into the war, to demand it from England, not in the Peace Conference at the close of the war, but now. We therefore respectfully urge upon the President and the Congress the necessity and good policy of giving a great example to the world by insisting that England shall grant Ireland complete national independence. We earnestly hope that, like Cuba, Ireland will be made free by the action of America. Every layer of Democracy, irrespective of sex, race and religion, is asked to sign this Petition.

The Coffeyville Pool in Kansas is on the north. The principal producing sands in the State of Oklahoma are the "Bartlesville Sand," the Tucker Sand" and the "Burgess Sand." The sands should be reached on this property at depths ranging from 600 feet to 900 feet. Some of the wells to the south of this property have shown an initial production of as much as 200 barrels from these sands. The property is located in a section of known and proven oil value, and the history of the oil production of this territory is a matter of common knowledge." WELL No. 2.

Baltimore.—What was the biggest rally ever held in a colored church in Baltimore came to an end on Sunday. July 29, when about $5,000 was reported in the effort at Bethel A. M. E church. The rally was planned by the Rev. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, who has been pastor of the church since last April. As Dr. Brooks raised over $7,500 in one effort while pastor of St. Paul A, M. E, church, St. Louis, the rally here created general interest. This interest was heightened by the fact that Bethel church has a debt approximating $75,000. Since Dr. Brooks has been here the attendance and collections at the church have increased threefold. For the purposes of the rally the workers were divided into three groups called annual conferences, each of which was presided over by a "bishop." The first two reports by conferences and bishops follow: Thousand dollar conference, Bishop John Williams, $657.75; Earthquake, Bishop Theodore White, $441.13; Turncoat, Bishop A. N. Peck, $388.71; Paupers, Bishop Edward F. Barnett, $542.20; Nightingale Bishop Daniel W. Lee, $268; Shipwreck, Bishop Jacob Heath, $420; Rough Riders, Bishop William B. Namer, $370.35; Matter of Fact, Bishop Robert Sorrell, $382.68; Little Kid Bishop George Palmer, $575; Ethiopian, Bishop Thaddeus Copeland, $283.60. One hundred twenty-one dollars and sixty cents was received from the "general officers," $87.48 in the public rally collection, $290.05 from the commencement of "Wilberford University." --- --- Talking Machine Free With every 30 new yearly cash subscribers to "The Denver Star," at One Dollar and a Half a year, or for the tota amount of every 30 cash yearly subscribers, who pay in advance from their expiring date, One Dollar and a half each, "The Denver Star" will give a Talking Machine, delivered to your residence, to each and every person who brings in the total cash amount of the 30 subscribers paid in advance.

ANNIVERSARY OF OLDEST JOURNAL Christian Recorder Survivor of Early Race Papers. EDITED BY EMINENT MEN African Methodist Episcopal Church to Recognize Services of Its Great Organ, Founded Sixty-five Years Ago, by Holding a Big Celebration—Dr. R. R. Wright's Leadership Noted. Members of the African Methodist Episcopal church are making preparations to celebrate the sixty-fifth anniversary of the Christian Recorder, published at Philadelphia. The anniversary will be held during the last week in July. At the recent meeting of the bishops held at Wilberforce, O. a proclamation was issued calling upon A the members of the church and his friends to celebrate this anniversary in appropriate fashion. The Christian Recorder is the oldest race journal now in existence. It was founded in 1852 in Philadelphia, where it has existed ever since. It is the only race newspaper which helped to fight for the abolition of slavery which is now in existence. Some of the most brilliant men of the race have filled its editorial chair. Its first editor was Rev. Marcellus M. Clark, who was one of the very few Negroes to graduate from college during the first half of the nineteenth century; then followed Rev. (afterward bishop) Jabez P. Campbell, Rev. Elisha Weaver, Rev. (now bishop) B. T. Tanner, Rev. (now bishop) B. F. Lee and Rev. H. T. Johnson. The present editor is Rev. R. R Wright, Ph. D., who serves in the double capacity of editor of the Christian Recorder and manager of the Book Concern. When Dr. Wright was made editor at the age of thirty he was the youngest man ever so honored by the church, though from the point of view of education he was one of the best prepared, having made for himself quite an enviable record as a writer on sociological tops prior to his election to this position. He is a doctor of philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania and studied in the universities of Berlin and Leipzig, Germany. The Christian Recorder is the national organ of the A. M. E. church and is circulated in all parts of the United States, in South America and the West Indies and South Africa and numbers among its contributors some of the ablest men and women of the race. According to the bishops' proclamation one of the 7,000 African Methodist churches is called upon to celebrate this anniversary in a very tangible and helpful way by helping to pay off the debt of $15,000. Indications are that this debt will be paid off on the day named, the fifth Sunday in July. Already many have subscribed, many of the bishops themselves leading off with $100 or more. General officers have subscribed, and leading men, both ministers and laymen of the church, in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee. South and North Carolina and other states have subscribed from $5 to $100. The purpose is to pay off the debt so that it will give Dr. Wright opportunity to develop a paper in keeping with the greatness of the A. M. E. church and give it a subscription list of 100,000. On July 20 there will be a special program in all of the 6,000 African Methodist Episcopal churches of America. On that day it is expected that the Book Concern will be paid out of debt. A book will be printed later on giving the history of the Book Concern and the name of every person who contributed $1 to help liquidate the debt. A beautiful two color certificate with historic pictures will also be given to those subscribing certain amounts. This is expected to be a great day in the African M. E. church. Subscriptions are coming in rapidly, and over $4,000 has already been subscribed. Bishops Coppin, Johnson, Hurst and Connor have subscribed $100 each and others smaller amounts. Dr. Wright makes it clear that none of the money asked for is for current expenses. The business is self supporting, and the debt is being slowly cut down and improvements made, but opportunities are so large that Dr. Wright has asked that the debt which was on the business when he came or maneuver be erased.

The history of oil reads like a fairy tale. It has made more millionaires in ten years than mining made in fifty, and offers an opportunity to the small investor never before equalled in the history of the world. Do you know that thousands of Colored people in Oklahoma and the South have made fortunes by investing in oil? Do you know that more fortunes will be made this year than ever before as the demand and price of oil is increasing at an incredible rate? Do you know that thousands of people will be made comfortable and happy this year by investing in oil? Will you be one of them? You can join The Capitol Petroleum Company now at two cents per share and be in on the ground floor. Address, Fred S. Burton, 1837 Arapahoe St., Denver, Colorado. FATHER BRUCE RETURNS NO BETTER. Father Bruce, who went last Tuesday night to Thermopolis, Wyo., to get the radio-sulphur baths, returned Friday evening without any improvement. He is now about the same without the use of one entire side. The secret orders have provided nurses for him. His condition is steadily growing more serious. The Y. M. C. A. Cantata "Messiah," to be given in September with Mrs. Mabel De Frantz as conductress, has been indefinitely postponed. MEN VICTORS BY 74 CENTS AT SHORTER—WOMEN WORK UNDER DISADVANTAGE. The past two Sundays have been exceptionally interesting at Shorter Chapel, the occasion being the celebration of Women's and Men's Day in the church. On these two Sundays the laymen had entire charge of the services, and as expected a sprited, though friendly, rivalry arose between the men and women members of the church to present the best program and raise the largest amount of money. Representatives of the various churches appeared on the program. Each Sunday the Auditorium was filled. On Woman's day the speakers were Mrs. A. M. Ward in the morning and Mrs. M. O. Barbour in the evening. The choir consisted of the female members of the Senior and Junior choirs, and the solos and trio were rendered by Denver's favorite singers, Mrs. H. Clay Le Noir, Mrs. Senora Langton and Misses Jackson, Andrews and M. Cole. The young girl talent of Denver was represented by Misses L. Richardson, M. Colston and Marie Starks, while the dramatist readers were creditably represented by Mrs. M. Ewing, Mrs. J. P. Starks proved herself an eloquent orator and an excellent person to preside. The general chairman for Woman's day was Mrs. L. Lewis, while the program was under the supervision of Mrs. A. Hicks. Those who attended these services were dulcous about the men's program, which was to be the following Sunday. On last Sunday morning promptly at 11 o'clock the choir, composed of men from the various church choirs of the city, marched into the choir stand to the song "Onward, Christian Soldiers," played by Prof. H. Watson after the ritualistic service and a selection by Prof. Morrison's quartet and a solo by Mr. Cedel Norris. Prof. Wm. H. Dawley, Jr., professor of languages of the Lincoln High School of Kansas City, Mo., delivered a most scholarly address. In the evening the music was furnished by the male choir, directed by Mr. C. A. Clark, and solos by Mr. Y. S. Reed and Samuel Russell. The speakers were Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook and Mr. O. L. Lawson, whose most masterly and logical address was on "Opportunity" and "Man's Civic Duty," respectively. Both speakers appeared at their best and their inspiring addresses will long be remembered by those fortunate enough to hear them. At the close of the meeting the finance committee of each day reme than the women, were declared winners from a financial point, but from exceptional merit of speakers, singers, size of audience, etc. it is impossible to decide which was the winner. However, both men and women will look forward with pleasant anticipations to Woman's and Men's Days of next year. Never was such unity and enthusiasm ever exhibited in such volume as appeared in the two Sundays. Rev. Williams is all smiles at the great success. The meeting of the Negro Woman's Club Association to be held Aug. 7th, will be held Aug. 6 on account of the Williams Jubilee Singers. E. M. Reeves, Pres.; E. G. Waldon, Sec'y. Lawyer P. D.
