TWENTY-NINTH YEAR New York, Sept. 16. — A first-hand, detailed account of the deliberate drowning of 38 seamen from the British steamer, Belgian Prince, by the laughing. sneering commander of a German U-boat, was given out today by Wm. Snell a big bronze-tinted Negro from Newport News, Va a cook by trade and the sole American survivor, who has just arrived on an American passenger liner at an Atlantic port. The Belgian Prince was shelled by a submarine on July 31, about 200 miles off the coast of Ireland. No one was injured. Every one got safely to the lifeboats. Then the undersea ship arose near the small boats and her commander ordered the Belgian Prince's crew to line up on the deck of the submersible. The Belgian Prince was on a return voyage from Liverpool to Newport News when she was attacked, Snell explained. This was about 8 o'clock on the evening of July 31. "I had just finished serving 7:30 tea to the firemen," said Snell, "and was down in my room in my pajamas playing with the ship's cat when I heard a big bang. It was a shell that had hit the side of the ship by the engine room. I thought it was a torpedo and grabbed my raincoat and ran forward to get my lifebelt. I just got the belt over my head when there was another bang and a shell smashed up one lifeboat and the Belgian Prince's smokestack. She she stopped right then and there. "It was a mighty lucky thing that all the boats were swinging out and ready to lower. The boys let them go and climbed down the rope ladders into them. The water was smooth, and it was a little cloudy, but you could see a long way off. "Two big boats from the Belgian Prince had all the crew in them. There was a smaller boat with the officers. This boat pulled over to the steamer and took off the captain. Then it came back to where we were. "All of a sudden the submarine came right up alongside our boats I couldn't tell you how big it was, but man! that was certainly was some U-boat! (Snell indicated a length of about 250 feet.) It did not have any number on it that I could see. May be I did not know where to look. "Put up your hands," said a man without a uniform who appeared to be the commander. "Where's the captain?" asked he. "Our captain first got a board the U-boat. He went into the conning tower and Number 7 Belleville. Ill.—The first woman to be arrested in connection with the race riots in East St. Louis was taken into custody September 11th. She was Mrs. Alice Taylor, 18 years old, who was locked up on an indictment charging conspiracy and rioting. down the steps. That was the last we saw of him. Then this commander fellow in the plain clothes watches us climb up on the submarine's deck, one at a time. "Line up there, single file," he said, and we strung out the length of the U boat's deck. Then he said, "Take off your life belts." We all took them off and dropped them at our feet. "When the three lifeboats from the Belgian Prince were empty, the submarine man took out their provisions—whisky, crackers, corned beef and stuff—and sent them below in his own ship. He pulled the plugs of the two big boats and threw the oars away. While he was attending to this, I sneaked up my lifebelt and hid it around my waist, under my raincoat. "Then four of the eight sailors got an order in German and they got into our captain's little boat and pulled over to the Belgian Prince. I knew what they were going to do—bomb her! "The U-boat got away kind of slow at first but pretty soon she was making good time. "It was pretty dark by then so I got ready for whatever might come, I put the life-belt around my shoulders and stood ready to toss off the rain coat. Pretty soon I had to. "The fellows forward began to yell. Then the water began to wash around my feet. I knew there was not going to be any prison for Willie Snell —nothing but salt water. So when the wash got around my knees, I said good-bye to the mates and dived off. "Just before I dived off, I took a look back at the glass bullseye of the conning tower. It had electric lights inside it. I could see the face of the commander. He was mocking and laughing at us. It was this same clean-faced fellow. He laughed and sneered when the U-boat started to go under. "Away off—miles and miles—I could still see the Belgian Prince. But I did not think I could ever swim to her. I started though." Snell's recollection of his hours in the water is none too clear. but he says he was picked up the next morn.ng by a British Patrol boat.

BRUCE always to the front when Denver is by side with a few other brave sly out of seeming disaster. active in fraternal Orders and dev He was always to the front when Denver needed strong men and side by side with a few other brave souls he helped to bring victory out of seeming disaster. He was active in fraternal Orders and devoted much of his time to proper organization and management of them. As a friend and brother, he was benevolent loyal and true. As a citizen, he was peaceful, law abiding and desirable; as a husband, he was faithful, loving, gentle, and infinitely tender; as a christian, he was devout, reverent God fearing—bringing brightness into other lives by his own right living. Taking all in all. Francis T. Bruce was a man—a real man. One, in whose steps, others might well follow. He departed this life Saturday September 8th 1917, aged 74 years, four months and 28 days. He leaves to mourn his loss, his widow, Mrs. Ellen Bruce, his foster daughter, Mrs. Mildred Abernathy, a niece, Mrs. Aurelia Thomas, friends throughout the country, and the entire community in which he lived. "He is not dead—for those who love the Lord, there is no death, only a gentle sleep—a most perfect Rest."

The many beautiful floral decorations were unusually designed and most elaborate, consisting of harps, broken links of Odd Fellows, pillows, crosses wreaths, one huge heart 10 ft. high from the State Capitol, all of these enhanced with many boquets, were studded with roses, cut flowers, beds of carnations and purple and white lillies given by Masons, Odd Fellows, Ruthites and officials and members of the church.

C.—The problem of what to do with the Negroes who have been taken into the army under the draft in Ohio and other states has been solved and an announcement by Secretary of War Baker is expected soon. The inside information obtained from army officers in a position to know is that the Negroes will not be sent to the cantonments with the white soldiers, but will be trained elsewhere by themselves with a view to being assigned to ncn-combatant tasks such as are connected with the quartermaster and commissary departments. It is not expected that the Colored soldiers will be sent to the bring line. The story told at the department today was that some of the Negro enlisted men will be drilled at home while others will be drilled at army posts and other federal reservations in the north which have been or will be vacated by the white soldiers. Military operations such as are contemplated by the United States, involve a vast amount of work, such as the handling of supplies, care of horses and mules and the like and it is expected, unless present plans are changed, that the Colored enlisted men will be assigned to these tasks both in the United States and in France. Harry Cummings, Baltimore Councilman is Dead Baltimore, Md. — Harry Smythe Cummings, member of the city council of this city and a prominent figure in civics affairs, died at his home, 1318 Druid Hill avenue, last Thursday night. A complication of diseases is said to have caused his death. He had been in ill health for the past year, and was forced to abandon his law practice and miss many sessions at the city council on this account. Mr. Cummings finished the public schools of this city, and later entered Lincoln University, Oxford, Penn., where he graduated in 1886, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. His early attention was centered on law, and acting on this desire he matriculated in the University of Maryland 1887, and finished the course in '89 He was admitted to the bar immediately upon graduation and enjoyed a large and lucrative practice up to the time of his illness. In later years he entered politics and was elected Councilman for three consecutive times. He was given wide publicity when he second ed the nomination of Roosevelt at the Republican convention in 1904. Church News: THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH, 24th Avenue and Ogden. David E. Over, D. D., Minister. Telephones, York 6007, York 9377. Be present to hear the pastor's re- port from the National Baptist Con- yention at Atlanta next Sunday even- ing. There will be some interesting facts presented. Last Tuesday night the men of the church organized a Baptist Laymen’s League, chartered into membership in the National Baptist Laymen's League of North America, Every Baptist lay- man in the community should heid membership in this great Brother- hood. The men of the church will under: take to deliver in person an invita- tion to every member and friend of Zion to be present at the Home Com- ing Day services on October 7th. HOME COMING AND RALLY DAY. Zion is making ready for a great day on Sunday, the 7th of October. This is our Annual Sunday School Rally Day, which this year we pro: pose to make a Home Coming Day for the entire congregation and church. The Sunday School at the morning hour is planning to see 500 persons present, and at the 11 o'clock hour we desire that every member and friend of Zion enter with us into the morn- ing worship. What a wonderful sight it will be to see every person on Zion's roll, who is in the city and phy. sically able to be present, in one vast congregation of worshipers. The plan includes the sending of automobiles to convey every aged and infirm person to the service. All those whose work hinders from attending the morning worship are urged to secure, if posst- ble a half holiday for this great occa- sion. It will be a fine and inspiring thing for Zion church, as well as the community, to once see itself togeth- er Our friends will also be welcome as we will have nearly 1,100 seatings. The program will also be in keeping with the occasion and the day. The pastor will preach from the subject, “A Prospect and Its Possibilities.” There will be music, great music, in chorus, congregation and solo, both instrumental and vocal. Our great auditorium will be decorated as it has never been. The community knows that when Zion plans to do things it may expect something unusual. Fur- thermore, it will be on hand to see. You cannot forget the date, Sunday, October 7th; it will be published every week, and everybody will be talking about ZION'S HOME COM- ING AND RALLY DAY. OUR TRIP TO GEORGIA. Mrs. Over and the pastor returned | last Friday from their long trip to the “Sunny South,” a little tired but hap- py in the memory of the most pleas- ant experiences enjoyed during the meeting of our great National Baptist Convention. From the hour of leav- ing the Union Station to the return, everything seemed to conspire to make the trip both profitable and pleasant. Even the weather, unusual- ly cool for that section of the South, spent herself in adding to the com: fort of the great delegation of Bap- tists who took Atlanta by storm. The old-timers say that the programs were more harmonious than those of any of a higher order and the sessions meeting since the birth of the organi zation in 1883. The trip also furnished an unique opportunity to study racial and social conditions at a time when the Southland is experiencing a vir tual upheaval through the unrest of the Negro, who is at last demanding a square deal, both politically and in- dustrially, and who is now wielding a club over the Southern white .man which is destined to bring him to terms. It is marvelous to see that on every hand our people of all classes are of one mind in their conclusion that conditions must change in the South or they are determined to seek their fortunes elsewhere. The white South is also coming to see that her industrial and commercial well-being depends almost wholly upon the Negro; in fact, it is seeing this so clearly that conditions have become acute. And failing to force the Negro to remain in the South by threats and brutality it is really and truly being brought to its knees and will most certainly be brought to terms. The American white man can only be con- trolled through his pocketbook. Next Sunday evening the pastor will take up these matters extensively and dis- cuss them in detail.

O AND SOME ME, BUT iver Star ving the Public With INTING ___ Denver, Colo. NAMPA 2962 PHONE YORK 4039-J 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 25e 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-earts 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. EVERY MINE A SUCCESS—WHY SHOULD NOT YOU BE LUCKY? THE PEERLESS FILM AND PRODUCTION COMPANY. THE SILVER PLUME CON. MINING COMPANY, Denver, Colo. 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.

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 beforementioned 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 Flume Consolidated Mining Company's properties are ideally located and great possibilities are ahead of them. Very truly yours, TALLMAGE KYNER, Pres.

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 invested in the development of these properties, and who will safeguard your investment as well as their own and give you the biggest run for your money you ever received in your life. 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. Number 10. ASK THE FOLLOWING LADIES and gentlemen what they think of this Company: DR. JUSTINA A. FORD, LILLIAN HORN and MR. A. A. WALLER, who, after investigation, HAVE INVESTED substantial amounts of money in this Company. What they think of the property, of the management, of the investment and the exceptional rare opportunity. Number 11. 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. Buy now at 50c per share, EVERY DOLLAR'S WORTH you can afford. Make your reservations AT ONCE for cash. Time payments accepted. Get in NOW while the stock is low and watch your investment grow.

F YOU BELIEVE THAT WAY, JOIN THEM. ACTIONS SPEAK WHERE WORDS FAIL. EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE DESCRIBE VALUES. 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.

My dear Co-Worker: I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK! PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petititions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this. Get influential white friends to sign some of them. Give them the literature and urge them to see their patriotic duty in saving America from mob violence. Get signatures. Every Petition counts. Fill out the inclosed memorandum and send it at once, to me. This memorandum goes to Congressman Dyer. He wants to keep close tab on what is being done by the Colored people themselves. Send each Congressman one of the inclosed tags. Write a very short letter, telling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no less serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win.

Americans are making this a color line war on this side of the water, since that is so and the white man is in power is grappling with a powerful enemy in a ruthless war, let us turn our minds, hearts and activities to other vocations in life. We know of no instance that a Colored man or Colored committee or board has actually been called into a council of war to participate in the discussions of what the vital needs and resources of his people were. We know that the Negro, next to the Indian, is the original American. He has been here several centuries which cannot be said of any other race except the Negro. He is patriotic to the bone.

At present he finds plenty of comparatively lucrative employment which might not last always. Never having had the requisite knowledge of saving, he is now a great spender. To the limited extent to which he has saved money he has never learned the best use of it or how to handle it. As a manufacturer, trader, banker, shrewd stock broker, he is almost a nonentity. He has not learned scientific and commercial organization and co-operation. But now is the accepted time to turn a new leaf. Now is the time to save money. Now is the time to plan to start factories and stores. The present war will impoverish the white people the world over. At the close of it new economic conditions will present themselves. In the new shuffle the colored American may find economic opportunities never presented before. But for him to take advantage of those opportunities he must have capital and business knowledge. Therefore, let him now take up the study of economic questions. If denied an opportunity to do one thing for our country and flag, let us go right ahead making changes and forcing opportunities in other directions.

The Star says now that only responsible people whose records for honesty, truthfulness and square dealing is clear and vouchsafed, should be entrusted with the handling of the money gotten from the public under the advertised plea and that a checking account should be inaugurated and a report made to the people of the expenditure of the money. In other words, the Star thinks and says that the people or public should know whether the money went to the officers, the men or for recruiting purposes and who raised the money to go finally into what persons pocket.

We marvel at the attitude of the president of the United States, who takes official notice of abuses and race discrimination in every part of the civilized world, and yet he absolutely ignores appalling riots and murders of citizens of his own country. This silence raises the question whether President Wilson does not actually approve lynching when the victim is colored. We warn him that continued silence may seriously cripple the efficiency of this nation in the European war. Applicants For Army Fail to Pass Test.

DENOUNGED BY EDUCATOR Miss Nannie Burroughs Makes Firey Protest Against Sacrifice of Victims to Mob Passion—Presents Petitions to Rules Committee of National House of Representatives. Washington. — Miss Nannle Helen Burroughs, president of the National Training School For Women and Girls in this city, is also the superintendent of the department for the suppression of lynching, National Association of Colored Women's clubs. Under the direction of this department the association is conducting a vigorous campaign against lynching, with special reference to the recent East St. Louis horror, Miss Burroughs succeeded in getting a hearing before the rules committee of the house of representatives and presented 10,000 petitions from citizens in thirty-six states. Congressman Dyer has informed Miss Burroughs that the committee was profoundly impressed with the petitions and that steps will be taken favoring legislation against the lynching of colored people which is so prevalent. In a written statement on the matter of lynching Miss Burroughs says: "When outrages similar to the East St. Louis orgy occur editors, orators and a few brave Americans talk for awhile on the atrociousness of these M. S. S. MISS NANNIE H. BURROUGHS. wild and dissolute revelries in which white American savages—men, women and children—engage with the brazenness of Fijis. In spite of these occasional appeals the spirit of lynching and mob violence is spreading like wildfire. "These atrocious crimes are multiplying because the habit of lynching has become an ingrained, racial trait that is being handed down from father to son. The men who lead mobs and lynch are among the procreators of the race, and the women who indulge in the sport are the mothers. In due time children are born unto these people. "Thus we have in the very blood of the race that does the lynching a rich strain of hatred and brutality. The mob spirit is growing because children are being born daily unto women whose husbands, sons and daughters take part in bloody orgies. "Unless lynching is checked young Americans will poison the blood of the whole race and the strain will become so strongly brutal that mobs will rack their brains in search of every conceivable method of torture to excel in their revolting practices. "Nothing remains to be done but to make and administer adequate laws and to begin at the fireside, to teach white children to respect the laws of our land and to have a correct estimate of the value of human life. White children are allowed to trample with impunity upon the rights of citizens of color and to treat the women of the race with contempt. "Controlled by the laws of procreation and fireside indulgence, we should not be surprised to see them applaud when human beings are being roasted alive at the stake. "The Negro is no match for these white fiends, because when we roamed the jungles naked our basest savage practices were of a more civilized kind. Let all Americans remember that one race cannot hate another without itself returning to savage. "Some years ago the author of 'Wisdom's Call' told the American people that if lynching was not stopped the blood of the white race would be so tainted until murder would stalk abroad in the land and the blood of the innocent would flow like rivers. We are now marching to the music of that prophecy. It is time for us to call upon God to save America." PROTEST AND PETITION. I am an American Citizen of full age and accountability and do here and now, over my own signature, most solemnly protest against the outrages perpetrated upon other American citizens in East St. Louis, Illinois, July 2, 1917, and petition you to comply with the request made by Congressman L. C. Dyer in H. J. Res. 118 as speedily as possible. Pioneer League Worker Makes Strong Appeal For Full Co-operation of Whole Race In Conserving Food Supply—Tells How We May Help Win the War Against Germany. Washington.—According to authentic reports growing out of the eleighteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Business Men's league, recently held at Chattanooga, Tenn., the "stand out" feature of the occasion was the impressive presentation of the subject of food conservation, brought to the attention of the league and its thousands of followers by Daniel Freeman, a well known business man of this city, for many years president of the local branch of the National Negro Business Men's league. Mr. Freeman has returned from the Chattanooga conference bubbling over with enthusiasm for the cause which carried him there and reports that the meeting ranked with the very beat the Business league has held in any section of the country since its formation at Boston in 1900. He is a pioneer in the work of the league and from the outset had been regarded by the founder, Dr. Booker T. Washington, as the natural leader of and official spokesman for the colored commercial interests of the nation's capital. Holds Key to Victory Over Germany. Bringing patriotism down to stubborn facts, Mr. Freeman, without recourse to oratorical flourish, but in simple, straightforward and convincing language, pointed out that the conservation of food holds the key to victory over Germany and illustrated in his own original way the countless channels in which the colored people of the country, from the wealthiest to the humbleest, could be of vital assistance to America and the allies in this titanic struggle for world democracy. The general government recognized the value of the Negro help in this work by sending Mr. Freeman to the Chattanooga conference of the business chieftains of the nation as the special representative of the food administration, under the direction of the Hon. Herbert C. Hoover and Dr. Ray L. Wilbur, to lay the matter properly before the colored people of the land. The wisdom of the selection of Mr. Freeman was amply demonstrated by the able address delivered at the Friday afternoon session of the business league and the rapt attention with which it was received by the audience which crowded the Lyric theater to the doors.

Mr. Freeman, after analyzing the necessity for the full use of every resource for the winning of this battle for liberty, impressed upon his hearers that the real object of the food administration was to try to organize all the people of the United States in the conservation of foodstuff. He stressed and particularized the fact that food conservation clubs should be arranged for among the colored people in schools, churches, business fraternities, commercial and women's clubs, and stated plainly that there was something that the humblest person could do. "With the shortage of food abroad with the partial failure of transportation, the shortage of labor and the present abnormal world conditions facing us on every hand," said Mr. Freeman, "each one of us has a new responsibility. As a tenth part of the American body politic the colored people must do our share in the work of conserving the food supply for the good of our country and in aid of our allies. We can do this if we save and do not waste. It will require our careful thought three times a day. Not only must we eat carefully the products of the day, but we must preserve the perishables and fruits that are now so abundant. Soldiers cannot fight unless they are fed." To Wage Campaign Against Insects. He urged a systematic campaign against gophers, rats, mice and insects and declared that the inescapable questions were: "Will each one do his duty? Will each of us do our bit?" The call was an impressive one, and Mr. Freeman's graphic analysis of the plan and its method of application provoked a discussion in which all of the speakers and questioners evinced an anxiety to know just how to proceed and the agencies through which they could work to the best advantage. Resolutions were adopted unanimously pledging the moral support of the members of the league and pleading with the Negroes of the country—men, women and children—to obey the behest of the government in this matter. Food conservation is patriotism, and it is self protection. Mr. Freeman's constructive activities in the cause do not end with his special detail to Chattanooga. He will continue to work with a general committee, formed by the Hoover commission to organize and conduct the food conservation campaign among the 10,000,000 colored citizens of the republic. Mr. Freeman has made an auspicious opening for the cause, and he is to be congratulated upon the intelligent, aggressive and productive service rendered the nation and the race at Chattanooga 1011-21st St. Phone Champa 752 BLEY SERVICE" WITH NEW SERVICE to Lookout Mountain.

YOUNG SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF REGARDING ARMY AFFAIRS Nested Retired Colonel Sends Patriotic Letter to Hon. H. C. Smith. The Hon. Harry C. Smith, veteran editor of the Cleveland (O.) Gazette, who was for several terms a member of the Ohio legislature, is still on the firing line fighting with voice and pen against race segregation and other forms of injustice to our people. He stands for a square deal according to law. On this score his record as a legislator bears abundant witness to his manhood and executive ability. Like Sumner, Garrison, Phillips, Lovejoy, Douglass and other noble sires of the abolitionist period, he is in earnest and does not retreat a single inch, but must be and is heard. Mr. Smith was one of the many persons who evinced great interest in the recent prospective promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young, U. S. A., whom the war department retired a few weeks ago. Editor Smith has received the following letter from Colonel Young, which explains Colonel Young's position very clearly on several matters concerning his future: Wilberforce, O., Aug. 12, 1917. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor of the Cleveland Gazette: My Dear Friend—I cannot thank you (toymouth for your kindness in coming to my rescue in your last issue. You are right in saying I had nothing to do with the failure of the new regiment of Ohio cavalry (dismounted). new beginnin of Ohio cavalry (dismounted). I did not ask for command of the regiment. I simply obeyed my instructions from Washington and from the adjutant general of Ohio. By training I am only a soldier, going where sent and doing what I ordered. So in this case. The only painful thing in this whole army was the petty ambitions of certain would be officers of our own race who waited for me to "bell the COLONEL CHARLES YOUNG, UNITED STATES ARMY (RETIRED). cat" and then made their howl. When in the world did I ever play politics or seek my personal preference when the welfare of my race or country depended upon my action? To me the motto of the Black Prince, "I serve," should be the motto of every black officer, and I have always made it mine, humbling myself to serve the rest, for the good of the rest. Now as to the retirement of me by the war department from active service. As before stated, so I repeat, I am only one man, and if, according to the rules of the game, I am to be "scrapped," I shall submit, sportsmanlike, to the president's orders. I have never felt any ill effects of the surgeon's findings as to disability, and I shall keep my head, my patience and my health, still studying until such a time as I may be needed by the government. I pray God she may not need me and that the war will be soon won. Now let me beg you and all good people of our race not to agitate or protest in my favor. The administration must not be embarrassed, in its extremity. We all love the country too well for that. Again thanking you for all your kindness to me and wishing you and the Gazette success, cordially yours. CHARLES YOUNG, Colonel United States Army, Retired. End Laundry Handle work a specialty.

EXPERT OPINION ON EDUCATION Standards Offered by Dr. Jones of Federal Bureau. FACTORS IN RACE BUILDING Extraordinary Facts Relative to Grade and Curricula of Our Schools Revealed In Government Specialist's Report—Of Higher Institutions Only Three Warrant University Rank. The section of Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones' report dealing with higher institutions of learning for our people shows that Dr. Jones by no means feels that agricultural and industrial education are the only forms of training required for a people numbering more than 10,000,000. He does feel, however, that there are a number of institutions which are impairing their value by trying to maintain collegiate departments at the expense of their secondary training when the great bulk of their students are of only secondary grade. He urges emphatically that such institutions either give up their college courses entirely and devote themselves to the development of their secondary work or merge their college department with those of other institutions in the same position, so that a faculty and equipment really adequate to fill collegiate standards may be created. Howard university Flsk university and Meharry Medical college are, he says, the only three institutions which warrant classification as universities. "The presentation of the educational and economic value of agricultural and industrial training should not be interpreted to be in any sense antagonistic to other phases of education. It is evident that the sound development of 10,000,000 people requires every type of education. The colored people must have well trained physicians to combat insanitary conditions. The need religious teachers who can direct the emotions of the race for the mora uplift of the group and for the triumph of the community. The require teachers who have a thorough knowledge of the historical progress of races and an appreciation of the sufferings and disappointments through which the nations have struggled in their present position in world 100 This is for you, but soft, long, beau not be put on the Do you want this write for particulars kins, the Scientific Denver, Colo., who world with her won hair. My own hair is ment. With these grew 17 inches in mained one length years. What I did doing for hundreds do for you with my Scalp Preparations, falling hair or break The leadership of the Negroes is devolving more and more upon the capable men and women of the race. In college education is necessary to the wise guidance of any group surely the Negroes should have the benefit of that education. "A number of schools offering college courses have rendered a most valuable service. This is especially true of the institutions founded and supervised by the cultured men and women who went south to teach in schools for colored people. Though the curricula of these institutions may have frequently seemed to overemphasize the printed page in comparison with the application of knowledge to practical affairs, the daily conduct of teachers trained in the best traditions of American life gave to the colored people a more precious heritage than any type of curriculum could have given. "Unfortunately most of the schools with college courses are seriously handicapped not only by lack of funds but also by the small number of pupils prepared to study college subjects. The facts on college and professional education show that only three institutions have a student body, a teaching force and equipment and an income sufficient to warrant the characterization of 'college.' Nearly half of the college students and practically all the professional students of college grade are in these three institutions. Fifteen other institutions are offering college courses which represent a wide variation of standards. Not more than 10 per cent of the pupils in these schools are in college classes. "The extravagant and high sounding names of a large number of colored schools have led to a misconception of the grade and type of work done by them. Frequently they represent only the hopes of the founders. In other cases the names have been selected to satisfy the ambitions of the colored people or to attract the support of the white people. Some schools in their eagerness to offer college courses not only hamper their general work, but also bring ridicule on efforts to maintain college classes. Other institutions, impressed by the great plants of the large industrial institutions, spend so much energy and money in acquiring machinery and elaborate organizations as seriously to impair their educational efforts. "The general poverty of colored schools, the conflicting claims of various types of education and the public ignorance of the real situation all point to the importance of a statement of the educational needs of colored people."

Propitious Outlook For Equal Rights League Convention, Sept. 18-20. The fact that representatives from more than fifteen states have indicated their intention of attending the annual meeting of the National Equal Rights league to be held at Mother Zion church, New York, from Sept. 18 to 20, inclusive, is evidence of the widespread interest which our people are taking in movements for race welfare. Those in authority in nation, state and municipalities, sworn to enforce the law, should be told of their shortcomings. We all live under the same flag (and we honor it) and are subject to the same laws. Therefore as citizens the colored people ask for fair play. The league will deal with questions of law enforcement and not law by lynching. Uncle Sam Getting Down to Business. The colored troops of the national army will be trained at the sixteen cantonments with the white troops, so it is said. One regiment of colored soldiers will go with each of the sixteen divisions for war duty in Europe. Denver, Colo.
