EDITORIALS COLORED SOLDIERS DESTROY HUN SUPPLIES. With the American Troops in France, August 14.—Both the Ninety-second and Ninety-third (Colored) Divisions of troops were given strict orders to slow down last Tuesday night and in conformity with Marshal Foch's settled policy of not wasting the lives of his troops when time is working so powerfully on the side of the allies, the black troops have come to a halt for a brief session. The halt was made near the Aisne, where the "black devils" had repulsed minor attacks, advancing slightly near Bray, where French and Colored American soldiers had penetrated the outskirts of the town. South of the Villers-Bretonneux Chaulnes, Colored troops destroyed the railway so that the Germans were unable to move a long trainload of high explosives and were compelled to leave it behind. On the north side of the Vesle river, where a brigade of Colored troops were holding the line, the enemy made a slight attack, but were turned back repeatedly by the use of the bayonet. So often were these attacks made during the night that nearly all of the Ninety-third division was ordered to that end of the line. Early Tuesday morning it was discovered that there were many farm houses near the line that were well stocked with provisions, and a large amount of poultry and live stock, which places the hungry Huns were desperately fighting for. Before noon America's "black devils" had the starving Germans beaten back several miles from these farm houses and were preparing for a big feast to celebrate their continued victory. During the afternoon while the order to "slow down" was in vogue the Colored troopers of both divisions sang songs of American origin in ragtime with now and then a patriotic air or a jubilee melody of the South as they "dined" on hot fowl and French wine. "dined" on not tow! and French wine. It is likely that another attack along the north side of the Vesle river will be renewed by the enemy, but at present it is held secure by the Colored Americans and French. "If the German line does not fall completey back from the Vesle river front we want to see what's holdin' 'em there when we attack the line," I said a Colored trooper as he finished a cigarette he had been smoking. THE COLORED AMERICAN IN WAR WORK. A Review of What the Negro People Are Doing to Aid in Winning the World-Wide War for Liberty and Democracy. Issued from the Office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. Washington, D. C.—Company A, 301st Stevedore Regiment, "Somewhere in France," has been cited by Bear Admiral Wilson and General McClure for exceptionally efficient work. These colored men unloaded and coaled the immense steamship "Leviathan," formerly the "Vaterland," in fifty-six hours, making a new world's record, in competition with other stevedore detachments on the western front in France, many of which are white. A film, showing this splendid regiment at work and at play, is to be exhibited throughout the country in the leading colored and white theaters. In Los Angeles, Cal., nine colored "four-minute men" are at work talking up the purchase of liberty bonds, war savings stamps and war organization activities among the colored people, with excellent results. The army is still in need of chaplains. The ultimate plan is to have one for every 1,200 officers and men. It wants a special kind of chaplain—tustdy, upstanding, brotherly man between the ages of 21 and 45—who cares a good deal more about the welfare of soldiers than about distinctions in creeds. At Camp Zachary Taylor, near Louisville, Ky., the army is conducting a school for chaplains. The course covers five weeks and new classes are formed at about an interval of a week after the current class is graduated. Applicants must pass the physical tests prescribed by the local draft board. While at the school the student-chaplain receives free subsistence, lodging and uniform and the pay of a first-class private, $33.00 per month, with mileage home at the rate of three and one-half cents per mile upon the completion of his course. If appointed he takes the pay and pay of a first lieutenant of the National Army, $2,000 a year and $2,200 abroad. The next class begins August 23. Applicants should apply directly to the Adjutant General of the Army, who will furnish all necessary information. There are now about thirty-one colored chaplains in the several branches of the army. LARGE DES MOINES FACTORY OPENS DOOR TO COLORED WOMEN.

A BIT OF HISTORY OF THE COL- ORED TROOPS RECALLED. Telling of the Origin of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry and 24th and In 1866 congress passed a law that colored regiments should be a part of the regular army. The 9th and 10th cavalry and the 38th, 39th, 40th and 41st regiments of infantry were organized March 3, 1869, a consolidation act was passed and the 38th and 41st were reorganized as the 24th regiment of infantry; the 39th and 40th were reorganized as the 25th regiment of infantry. The 9th and 10th cavalry won the reputation of being among the best Indian fighters on the frontier. At the outbreak of the Spanish war, in 1898, the four colored regiments were among the first troops ordered to the front, and they won distinction. At the first battle in Cuba, the 10th cavalry played an important part, coming to the support of Col. Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The 25th infantry took a prominent part in the battle of El Caney. The 9th and 10th cavalry and the 24th infantry rendered heroic service in the battle of San Juan Hill. Attorney B. B.

Manning that her daddy wants to know if she remembers the verse that said the Mississippi river is so deep and wide that she couldn't see her baby on the other side. Well, I ain't going to say anything about the old ocean being 3,600 miles wide. I guess she can see across it and tell her daddy from anybody else. But everything will be her way some day before long. Of course June 5th it had been just one year to that day we parted. It is all right now. We won't always to be that way, so don't worry. I will surprise you all some day and will come marching home for good. Well, tell everybody I said hello and give my best regards to all of my supposed to be friends. You don't have to send me anything because I would not be able to get it, because we are first one place and then another, so the best we can do is to try and write to each other and not get it all the time because it is awful hard to get mail here because we are so far, we are many miles away. So don't worry if you don't get a letter every time the mail comes. Well, I have told you about all. I was in the town with Clide, but did not get to see him. So you tell them he is all right and getting along fine. Did Dillie come home yet? If she didn't, why? You send for her and tell her I said stay home till I come back, and if I don't then she can do what ever she wants to. Well, I have told you all, so I will say kiss her for me and look after her till I get there. May God bless all of you. So I will say good-bye with love and kisses to you all from your loving son. Joe H. Manning Rev. G. W. Robinson, Des Moines, Iowa Des Moines, Iowa. Dear Friend: This comes to say that I am all right at present and trust that you and yours are happy. I think of you and the church and services held there very often and sometimes I long to be in Des Moines again. I think of Des Moines often and wish to be remembered by the good people there. I have met Fritz in the first line trenches, success so far and am now writing you from the trenches. Today is quiet just a bit so I have some time to think of old friends. We have faith and believe we will be victorious. God still lives and leads, we follow, fight, watch and pray. Love to the church. Write me soon. Best regards to your family and all inquiring friends. lst Lieut. A. L. Hatchett, Co. B, 372 Inf., A. E. F. France. The Grand Commandery Knights Tem- clave in Marshall, Mo., last week. Maj. Jose H.

WILL BE BIG GOVERNMENT WAR EXHIBIT AT THE STATE FAIR Just to demonstrate their interest in the big agricultural fairs and to emphasize the intimate connection between the war and the production of food, the government officials at Washington have prepared an extensive war exhibit for the state fairs, or such of them as have the necessary facilities for accommodating the exhibit and can stand the expense of shipping and other incidentals which, combined, amount to a considerable sum. This exhibit will be shipped direct from Washington to. Sedalia, Mo., for the Missouri state fair, which opens August 10. From there it will be shipped to Des Moines some days before the opening of the Iowa fair and everything made ready by the time the gates are thrown open August 21. The exhibit will be housed in Power hall, which is conveniently located about a block north of the main street car entrance and just inside the new entrance to the grounds on Walnut street. These exhibits will prove intensely interesting to the citizens of the middle West. The collection from the war department will consist of machine guns of different types for both land fighting and use of aircraft; mountain guns, field guns, rifles of up-to-date make, hand grenades, periscopes, hellograph instruments, wireless outfits, gas masks, trench implements and fighting equipment of every imaginable sort. The navy department is sending rifles, swords, drums, signal flags, semaphore flags, pennants, machine guns, torpedoes, mines, anchors, submarine clothing, etc., etc., etc. In addition to the war equipment to come from the army and navy departments, the department of agriculture, department of the interior, department of commerce and the U. S. food administration will also be represented by interesting exhibits of high educational value. One of the most interesting and unique will be a mine rescue car sent out from the department of the interior. This car will be fully equipped for actual service and accompanied by a crew of five men, who will explain the working apparatus to visitors. The department of commerce will deal with various important industries, such as the fisheries, the leather business and others. There will also be moving pictures illustrating numerous activities that have sprung up of late and are being carried on to meet the unusual demands which are the outgrowth of the great war. It will be a most interesting and instructive exhibit throughout and visitors to the state fair should include it in their sightseeing plans. CANNING EXHIBITS AT IOWA STATE FAIR It used to be the fashion to brag about what our grandmothers could do in the way of saving summer fruits and vegetables for winter use. But those very efficient ladies of old didn't have a thing on Mrs. Uptodate when it comes to canning operations. In fact the housewife of forty or fifty years ago admits her shortcomings when she visits pantry, cave or storeroom of the woman of today. For the modern housekeeper has picked up a lot of new wrinkles since the opening of Uncle Sam's food conservation movement. Visitors to the Iowa State Fair of 1917 were impressed with the magnificent display of home-canned fruits and vegetables. It was hard to believe they were the product of home talent and labor. Exhibits in this department promise to eclipse everything of the kind in past years. The premium classification has been widened and the prize money materially increased, all of which will tend to swell exhibits. Prizes are offered for foodstuffs, canned, preserved, dried and pickled; for butters, jellies, jams and all the rest of it. Don't overlook the kitchen and pantry department when you visit the fair. PATRIOTIC FIREWORKS FOR STATE FAIR. After enjoying the display of fireworks at the Iowa state fair this year the visitor will appreciate the wonderful progress made of late years in the art or science, or whatever we may call it, of pyrotechny. Some of the beautiful and intricate set pieces that will be shown are a far cry from the dinky roman candle and sputtering nigger chaser of our boyhood days. The regular nightly programs will conclude with a grand display of patriotic fireworks, beautiful beyond imagination and in harmony with war work and ambitions, "Food Conservation," "The Great American Flag," "Statue of Liberty," "Liberty Bell," "Spiirt of 76," "Submarine Battle," "Battle of the North Sea," and various other patriotic subjects and sentiments will be pictured in these spectacular set pieces. 128 206 247 2,000 2,000 180 175 Madam M.

Wisdom of God does the blasting. Faith stirs the record. Holiness keeps the wheel of faith, and understanding is never late. Charity of God lightens records, calls for dear old purity rides upon the winds, echoes back its sweet palls, conquers sin once for all, lightens our thorough, prepares us for death's call, changes men, makes women take heed. Oh take back the sword of the unclean. Simpleness chokes our diadem of love, private neglection proves itself to develop very often to an enormous heap of debates. Where welfare would live, confusion stamps the misery. Gossip misses words, where mischief seals the tombs, anxiety of God rests well, and passers-by often steal the sweetness of her rest. Transforming duties spoils the width of intelligent courage and Jesus does it all.

For more than three weeks our notes have failed to appear in these columns because the reporter has been very much over-worked. Our church nevertheless has been advancing along the front, capturing a few prisoners for Christ each week. We are now ready for the state association that is to convene with us next week, beginning Tuesday and running five days. Every day a good one. On last Sunday the services were one of the best spiritual meetings we ever had. Dr. Robinson spoke from the subject, "The Gospel Well," and before he closed it appeared to be a Gospel Lake instead and all were taking a spiritual bath. Tomorrow he will speak on the "Gospel Wagon." ST. PAUL A. M. E. NOTES Sunday, Aug. 25, will be the opening day of the new St. Paul. The pastor, Rev. S. L. Birt, will be in charge. Preaching at 10:45 a. m., Sunday school at the usual hour, platform meeting in the afternoon, services at the evening hour. Church Aid will serve dinner. All members and friends meet at the old church site Sunday morning at 7:30 prayer and praise service, then march to new Zion on the hill, 12th and Crocker Sts. Love feast Sunday morning in the new St. Paul. Be on time, enjoy the day. Make a large sacrifice on this memorable day. Rev. Birt is working overtime to push the long, tedious battle to the gate. Sunday services were well attended and much information and inspiration gained by those who were present and who are seeking to improve themselves spiritually. The pastor used the theme, "Working in God's Vineyard." He proved by the scriptures that there is no place in this busy world for slackers, and that a spiritual slacker is more contemptible than one who is a government slacker. The Sunday school lesson, "Working in the Church," was well discussed. The C. E. topic, "Using Your Pen for Christ," was thoroughly discussed. The young men who took part showed that they had made preparation on the lesson. A wide field of usefulness and honor awaits the young man or woman who can write. The history of your local church, of your conference and of your connection must be placed upon the indelible pages of history; the part the Negro played in this world's war must be written by a Negro pen. Our past experiences have revealed to us that history is recorded with a prejudiced pen. Let us learn to write. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, who was an interesting visitor, took part in the discussion. She placed stress on writing and punctuating correctly. Miss Brown is teacher of English, Wilberforce University. The evening service was inspiring. The choir rendered one of its beautiful anthems. Rev. S. L. Birt introduced Miss Brown, the speaker of the evening. He told of her great efforts in behalf of her Alma Mater, Wilberforce University. Miss Hallie Q. Brown, locutionist, lecturer and traveler, beloved and honored by her church, arose and delivered one of the most powerful addresses ever heard from St. Paul's sacred rostrum, from the theme, "What hast thou in thy hand?" Madam Jean Hodges, New Zealand, her life long friend and noted soprano singer, rendered a beautiful selection. Thus ended a well spent Sabbath day. The Altar Guild's breakfast given at the home of Mrs. Mary Kinney was a great success. The S. L. B. Club served on the Franklin play ground Saturday evening. The choir served on the 9th St. play ground Saturday. All the church auxiliaries are hard at work. The dramatic recital given under the auspices of Mrs. Gus Nicols' rally club was a great success. The church auditorium was crowded to hear Miss Hallie Q. Brown and Madam Jean Hodges. Both ladies were in fine voice and receiver a hearty reception from the Des Moines public. Mrs. S. Joe Brown had charge of ticket sale, which spells success. Miss Brown and Madam Hodges left the city Tuesday morning for Chicago. Mrs. S. L. Birt entertained on her birthday anniversary Tuesday afternoon. A number of ladies called. Mrs. Birt was the recipient of many tokens. All the women present recorded their names in her diary book. A large number of entertainments are planned for the benefit of the new church, to be given in the new church, new church prayer room. St. Paul must advance upon her knees, if she would Prayer meeting was well attended. Let the members and friends crowd the have victory. The Callahan Club, one of the oldest Federated Clubs of the city, will celebrate their 16th anniversary at the new St. Paul with an afternoon reception. Hours 2 to 11. Public invited. Elaborate preparations are being made for the reception, which promises to be one of the grandest affairs of the season. The benefit, new St. Paul. The Mite Missionary Society will render a program at the C. E. hour. Topic for discussion, "The Power of the Cross on the Frontier." Good music. Let all the Missionary ladies be present. Mrs. Birt in charge. The dedication will be held when the new pews arrive. Bishop Coppin has been invited to attend. The public will be notified through the columns of the Bystander. Loyal and broad minded African Methodists of the state of Iowa are asked to look toward St. Paul, Des Moines, at the dedication. Pray for the prosperity of Zion. Granulated Sore Eyes Cured "For twenty years I suffered from a bad case of granulated sore eyes," says Martin Boyd, of Henrietta, Ky. "In February, 1903, a gentleman asked me to try Chamberlain's Salve. I bought one box and used about two-thirds of it and my eyes have not given me any trouble since." The Home Makers League will meet next week with Mrs. R. N. Hyde. Mrs. Thornton Adams entertained Wednesday in honor of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Louise Gray of Chicago. Step Lively Girls Club will meet next Tuesday evening with Miss Mildred Griffin. Mrs. J. A. Jefferson, 1322 Day, left Thursday morning for Leavenworth, Kans., to spend a few days with her relatives. Mrs. Eliza Harper and Miss Althia Kemp of Decatur, Ill., are visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Moore, 1028 12th St. Mrs. Laura Winrow left Thursday for several weeks' visit with her mother, Mrs. Matilda Marshall, at Atchison, Kans. Dr. J. A. Jefferson contemplates leaving the city Saturday night for Richmond, Va., to attend the 20th annual session of the National Medical Association. He will return Sept. 2nd. Atty. S. Joe Brown spoke to the young people of Bethel Sunday at 6:30 on the moral law, which was very impressive. Miss Guy, who was sent here by the war department to organize the girls, will speak next Sunday at 6:30. The Mary Church Terrell Club met last Monday with Miss Adah Hyde as hostess. At this meeting the club voted out the funds with which to purchase two War Savings Stamps. Will meet next Monday with Mrs. Stella Hdye. Among the many courtesies extended Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, who delivered several lectures in Des Moines and Camp Dodge, was a lovely auto trip through the principal and important points in the city by Dr. J. Alvin Jefferson in his beautiful Cole 8. Mr. Harry Shaw, one of our city policemen, has just finished a course in Carpenter and Hohenschub College of Embalming and was awarded a diploma. He took the state board examination for embalmers last month and passed with an excellent average. He is now a licensed embalmer, but will not consider any business proposition until after the second draft is called. The "Outing Girls Club," who gave a dancing party at Greenwood park last week, donated the proceeds of same toward helping make the Colored Hostess House at Camp Dodge more home like and comfortable. The committee at the head of the club were Miss Margaret Roberts, chairman, Mrs. Emerald Mash, Miss Adah Hyde and Mrs. Jonnie Shaw. PARK STREET V. M. C. A.

On last Saturday afternoon at the St. Paul A. M. E. parsonage occurred the marriage of Miss Minnie Mills, formerly of Buxton, Iowa, and Mr. Everett Clay of this city. Rev. S. Birt performed the ceremony in the presence of a few relatives. The bride is well known in this city and is a fine young woman. The groom is the oldest son of Mr. Henry Clay, an old and highly respected citizen of Des Mines. He is at present stationed at Camp Dodge, Iowa. We extend to these young people our hearty congratulations. MISS FLORENCE E. GREENE WEDS PET. ROY F. HOGSETTE. The home of Mr. and Mrs. John Greene, 1317 Day St., was the scene Tuesday evening of the wedding of their daughter, Florence E. Greene, to Private Roy E. Hogsette. The Rev. Perry officiated in the presence of immediate relatives and many close friends. Little Mildred Greene, niece of the bride, H. C. Greene, brother of the bride, and Miss Ruperta Hogsette, sister of the groom, were the only attendants. Following the services an informal supper was served. The bride will remain at the home of her parents as Pvt. Hogsette is stationed at Camp Dodge. Mrs. Louise Gray of Chicago was guest of honor at a whist party Tuesday p. m., given by her sister, Miss Jerada Clay, and cousin, Mrs. Emerald Mash, at the home of Mrs. Mash, 824 12th St. Miss Cora Mix was winner of the first prize, Mrs. Jonnie Shaw received the booby prize and Mrs. Gray received a guest prize. A delicious two course luncheon was served. Many Des Moines friends were indeed glad to see Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Penny of Mason City, Iowa, in their midst the past week. Indeed it seemed like old times when Rev. Penny was pastor of Union Congregational church. The Rev. and his wife were here visiting their youngest son, E. M. Penny, who is in training at Camp Dodge. After a splendid visit with their son and old acquaintances they left for their home Wednesday the 21st. While in the city they were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Hughes, who entertained them in a royal manner. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS ENTERTAINED. As a courtesy to their house guests, Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, O., instructor of English in Wilberforce University, and Mme. Jean Hodges of New Zealand, Atty, and Mrs. S. Joe Brown entertained at luncheon Saturday at one o'clock. Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, of Tuskegee, Ala., and Prof. C. B. Hosmer, northern field agent of Tuskegee. Mrs. Brown was assisted by her sister, Ione Coleman, and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Tug Wilson. DR. MOTON ADDRESSES CHAS. YOUNG AUXILIARY. On last Friday evening at their headquarters at 10th and Park Sts., the Chas. Young Auxiliary Red Cross had as their special guest Dr. R. R. Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, of Tuskegee, Ala. Dr. Moton told of the chapter of the American Red Cross formed in his community, it being the only one conducted by our people in this country. Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, O., was also present and told of work in her state. WAR CAMP COMMUNITY SERVICE DIRECTOR HERE Miss Ursula A. Guy, formerly of Topeka, Kans., but who has until quite recently taught in the high schools at Baltimore, Md., has been sent to Des Moines to work in connection with the War Camp Community Service. She will take the place among our girls the same as Miss Lewis (with whom a great many of us came in contact this spring) has among the white girls. She will direct the activities of the girls. In her pleasant manner and with the public experience she has had, Miss Guy is well qualified for the tremendous task before her, but we are sure she will be successful if our girls will only cooperate with her. You will hear of her from time to time in the Bystander. NOTICE. All members of the Virginia Picnic Association will take notice and govern themselves accordingly. Owing to the high cost of living, we, the Virginia Picnic Association, at a regular meeting held at the home of S. C. Cary, that we will hold a family picnic this year. All members are requested to bring your baskets well filled. Picnic will be held at Union Park Monday, September 2; 1918. Our next meeting will be held at the S. C. Cary home, 2715 Oxford St., August 11 at 4 p. m. All members wishing to join will be at that meeting. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mr. C. H. Roane, President; W. K. Perry, Vice President; W. W. White, Financial Secretary; Mrs. Bell Drew, Treasurer; C. P. Jones, Recording Secretary. Japanese Have No Beds. The Japanese do not sleep on European beds, but on many thick, soft puffs piled one on top of each other upon the floor. For bed covering they use more of the same kind of puffs. It is said that the Japanese emperor has 20 such puffs. One of those which cover him is made in the shape of a kimono and has a velvet collar. Probably he creeps inside of this, if he feels cold in the night. In Greek mythology Astraen, daughter of Zeus and Themis, was the goddess of justice. She is represented with a pair of balances in her hand and a crown of stars. She was the last of all the goddesses who left the earth when the golden age had passed away and men began to forge weapons and commit acts of violence. Indian Raised Cotton and Tobacco. Indian Raised Cotton and Tobacco. The Indian farmer, especially in the Southwest, carried the cultivation of the American variety of cotton to an advanced state. His culture of tobacco, on which was based a profitable industry for the early colonies, had been developed to a high state of efficiency. Instruments on an Airplane. The instruments on an airplane usually include an altimeter, for indicating the height; clock; compass; revolution indicator, showing the speed of the engine; speedometer, indicating the air speed of the airplane; and petrol and oil gauges, indicating the amount of fuel in the tanks.
