NINETEENTH BIENNIAL SESSION OF SUPREME LODGE K. P'S CLOSE WITH FINE REGORD-- NINTH ENCAMPMENT OF UNIFORM RANK THE ONE GREAT ATTRACTION-- EVERYBODY RETURNS HOME HAPPY COMPLEMENTED BY PRESS AND PUBLIC—DEMONSTRATION THAT WILL BE LASTING IN THE HE ARTS OF ST. LOUISANS, CAMP JOHNSON A SCENE OF MIL ITARY BEAUTY—THOUSANDS VISI IT CAMP DAILY—MAJOR GEN ERAL ROBERT R. JACKSON A CONSPICUOUS CHARACTER Friday's Drill and Parade Contests W tnessed by Thousands—Atlantic City Gets. 1919-Session. The Nineteenth Biennial Session of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, the Supreme Court of Calathea and the North Biennial Encompassment of the Uniform Rank which invaded St. Louis last week with pony and slobby, closed their business session and broke camp Saturday. Camp Johnson, with that great military genius, General Robert R. Jackson, commanding, was a scene of military beauty and discipline. Military rules were strictly adhered to. The men in camp were carried through a regular schedule of guard mounts, drills, inspections, review and dress parades each day. The many Pythian bands on the grounds continuously entertained their comrades and the thousands of visitors. Tuesday's Parade. The Pythian made merry Tuesday night in a Mardi-gras parade, in which a couple of thousand persons took part. The majority were masked and cut up all kinds of comic anthems. The St. Louis band, dissected as rubs, were loudly cheered. Tennessee seemed to lead in the spirit of joviality, but was followed closely by Deloitte and Chicago. "Old Jupiter Pluvius again played a conspicuous part, this time dealing his joke card, for he served a downpour of rain to the residents west of Grand avenue, while the paraders marched on dry and dusky ground. The Military Ball. The Military Ball at the Coliseum Wednesday night was the big artistic feature of the encampment. In point of numbers of guests it was rather disappointing. This was due to two causes—that the impression got out that dancers would have do wear full dress and that the price of admission was $1 per head, instead of 50 cents. Both were erroneous, but they served to keep several hundred away from the big event. The attendance was estimated at from 2,000 to 3,000. Fashionable St. Louis was well represented and teh beautiful gowns of the ladies gave elegance to the natty white uniforms of the military men. All present enjoyed an evening of rare pleasure. It was a brilliant affair and and credit to the managers and the floor directors. Drill Contest Friday evening ten thousand people witnessed 2014 A. B. C. prize drills in the Coliseum which was participated in by some dozen companies, Indianaapolis winning-first place, St. Louis and Chicago coming in second and third. Palestine Company B of Cincinnati, O., world's champions, Capt. Sneed commanding, gave an exhibition drill which brought great applause. The contestants in the B and C classes gave wonderful exhibitions of military maneuvers, of which prizes were awarded 'to winners to St. Louis, Arkansas, Tennessee and Chicago. Business Sessions. The business sessions were held at Rythian Temple, 3137 Pine street. Social functions were many and varied, and a new record for entertaining has been made by St. Louishs. The Supreme Session of the Court of Calanthe was presided over by Supreme Chancellor Jos. L. Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio. The reports from the officers were very satisfactory.

Biggest Military Demonstration Ever Given Here by Colored People. Thousands Crowd Sidewalks to View Spectacle. One hundred thousand persons lined the route of the big military parade of Pythians, which traversed five miles of city streets Friday morning. It is said that several thousands came in from surrounding towns. The column moved from Compton and Lawton promptly at 10:30. It is estimated that nearly 10,000 persons were in the formation. More than one hundred and fifty automobiles, floats and other vehicles helped swell the lineup. The St. Louis men were heartily cheried all along tech line. In fact, all cheried in the applause, with the Chicago band and delegation leading. The parade was composed of nine divisions, headed by a platoon of police.

Pastor Holmes preached a well prepared sermon from Luke, 2d Ch. and a convert was among those who united with the church. Among the many strangers who worshipped at this service in the Temple were: Prof. Manyard of San Antonio, Prof. Wilson of Alabama, Mrs. Rive's from Georgetown, Tex., Miss Vaughn of San Antonio, Miss Fullbright, a teacher from Springfield, Mo., Rev. Holme's mother, Messrs Louis and I. G. Oliver's sister from Illinois and Mrs. Jefferson's cousin and others we did not get. At 7:45 p. m. we were blessed with the presence of Dr. J. F. Robinson, of Norwich, Conn. He is a gifted silver-ongued orator, who speaks with a pure accent as the best-speaking Causations, and who showed that he is a man truly called by God. He has visited the most important places in the world, viz.: London, Eng., Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Christ's Sepulchre, the Pyramids of Egypt, Jerusalem, and New York, the church of our greatest preacher since he Apostle Paul; that is Charles H. Spurgeon, the great Baptist minister, and many other places, and is now en route to the National Baptist convention at Muskegue, Okla. His text was 2nd Tim. 2:3, "Daring to Be a Soldier in the Warring Nation." His sermon was a wonderful discourse; it portrayed man's soul to be the greatest thing on earth. He made a beautiful parable of two windows in the apostolic record, when Paul and Stephen forgave those who persecuted them; also made a wonderful appeal to the Church of Jesus Christ to truly put on the Lord Jesus; and not let Christ's flag ever touch the ground. The choir and congregation sang, "Take the Name of Jesus," pathetically and then the Baptismal service was performed, with its usual spirituality. A large collection was taken up. Next Sunday, September 2nd, is Communion, and at night the pastor will continue his series of sermons. All are invited, sinners especially—Publicity Com.

These range from the simplest work, as gardening and housekeeping, to the professions, so you can find something which you are capable of doing. 4. There is also place on the card, that gives you an opportunity to indicate if you wish to join a training class, to take special training for some occupation. 5. There are three conditions for service: You may volunteer, get just enough money to cover expenses, or get pay outright. 6. You are not compelled to leave your home to work. 7. You are not compelled to register, it is a matter of patrolism. 8.

Prof. Jackson, in whom all love and respect, is nationally known as one of the race's greatest music instructors. He has been at the head of Western University music department for a number of years, with phenomenal success. And as a chorus leader, he has no superior of any race.

St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 25.—No feature in St. Louis attracted more attention than did the Poro College, located at 3100 Pine street. This institution was visited by thousands of people, and they were greeted by the founder, Mrs. A. M. Malone and her husband, Prof. A. E. Malone. Without a doubt, Poro College is the greatest institution of its kind in this country, for it is here where thousands of women of the race are trained to become independent women. They are taught how to grow and make beautiful hair. This was discovered by Mrs. Malone in her girlhood days, and she is one of the women of the race who will live in history. In this institution over a hundred KANSAS WAS THERE KANSAS K. P'S. WELL REPRESENTED AT ST. LOUIS LAST WEEK. The Kansas K. P's and the Uniform department was creditably represented at the supreme session and encampment last week. It being the first time the uniform ever went into camp at a biennial encampment. Galena company No. 3, Capt. Thos. Bullard, commanding, went into camp with nearly its full strength and when it came to looks and camp equipment they were far ahead of many other companies of states who had been service for many years in these encampments. Many complements were passed on Kansas and especially Galena company No. 3, which they greatly deserved. Others who were in camp were General F. O'Harrer Miller of Wichita and his staff, Adj. Prince Edwards, Wichita, Col. Stewart and Major Bryant of Galena, Col. Markham of Independence, Major Chas, Slaughter and Thos. Kennedy of Kansas City, Kansas, Sergus, Martin and Coleman of Wichita also were in camp. Others who intended to be there lost a great opportunity in militarism. PRESIDENT IN THE CITY. J. M. Marquis, exp.principal Summer High School for eight years, and resigned a year ago to accept the presidency of Langston University, Langston, Okla., dropped in on us Thursday morning, on business. A big reception was tendered the race's great educator. He left Thursday night on a late train. President Marquis was looking well and said all was going good at Langston. FIRST BAPTIST 11 O'CLOCK. "Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written victory over death." That was the ext from which the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, preached Sunday morning. He used many beautiful metaphors and the entire sermon was one of consolation to his hearers because of the deep satisfied fact of meeting all the dear departed upon the resurrection morning. The services were well attended and the collection was as good as the attendance. All are invited to the First Baptist and especially to the men's meeting every Sunday afternoon. Important facts are being dealt with in these meetings. Mrs. Lillel Eskridge came home this week from a month's visit to Denver and Colorado Springs, Col.

ENGAMPMENT WEEK, men and women are employed and are kept busy all the time. Stenographers, bookkeepers, mulling clerks, openers are employed in this business, and employment has been furnished to many graduates from college, and high schools. In this way Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Makins are helping to solve the race problem. If there is such a thing. It way on Thursday that Mr. and Mrs. Makins entertained for dinner over a hundred people from all parts of the country. Each one was treated with a smile by Mr. Makins and his wife. This college is a wonder, a living reality. It has grown from a desk and one room, with Mrs. Malone, the president, instructor, clerk, bookkeeper, to what it is today, sending out tons of mail every day in one of the latest auto trucks and even-mow the building occupied by the school for not large enough, and they have already started the construction of a building which will be in 'every particular modern and will cost $250,000. This will perhaps be the only building in America owned by the race coating a quarter of a million dollars. There were many interesting features connected with the college. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The services were largely extended Sunday and the pastor, Dr. Griffin, delivered two sermons of great spiritual updift. The evening service is drawing large audiences and especially since the pastor started on his series of sermons on the Lord's Prayer. They are simply wonderful in thought, logic and eloquence. Many visitors are attending these series of sermons and many members who sedum attend services can be seen regularly. Grantold sidewalks have been placed around the church and steps on the northeast entrance. It adds much to the looks of the outside surroundings. Mr. P. Brown had the contract. The fourth and last quarterly meeting of this conference year will be held the second Sunday in September, the star. The dollar money, in coming in fairly good, but there is some distance to go yet to reach past records. FOURTH QUARTERLY MEETING AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH.

SHORT SHRIFT FOR COAL MEN TO BRING PROFIT GRABBERS TO TERMS. by John Marthol. New York, Aug. 28.—When war ceases to pay a profit it is safe to predict that its end is in sight. This is evidently the motion held by those U. S. senators who favor making the conscription of war profits a public alias for confiscation. A patriot who has been making 260 and 403 per cent in turning out impiements of slaughter became quite fame when reduced to a beggarly 25 or 50 per cent profit. He thinks he is badly treated, but most people believe that the government in its quest for revenue is moving on correct lines both from an economic and social standpoint. The ordinary business man is not exempt, but he makes no complaint. The proposed direct taxes under the revenue bill will cover a large percentage of the workers and producers in the country. If you are a simple person and earn more than $1,000 a year, you will have to pay income tax; and if you are married, or a head of a family, you will have to pay income tax if earnings exceed $2,000, except where there are children. For each child there is an additional exemption of $200. Excess profits will have to be paid by a corporation, partnership or individual engaged in business earning more than $5,000 in 1917. If these earnings are in excess of the average of the prewar period of 1911, 1912, and 1913 on the same capital. Capital increases since that date will be allowed same pro rata earnings. An Experiment In Socialism. President Wilson made a short shift of the coal robbers when he fixed the price of their commodity at 12.15 a ton at the mine. They have been making over 100 per cent. Now they will have to struggle along with a net profit of about 33.13 per cent, and in a few days the anthracite operators will get dose of the same herole medicines. Wail street affected to be suitably shocked at what it termed "the new socialism." The bears pounded the market for all they wear worth; but it should be remembered that they were selling stocks that they did not own. Prices were forced down, but very little "long" stock came on the market. The real owners evidently see no calamity in sight as long as they are permitted to gather in a third of 100 per cent on their investments. If protecting the public from organized plunder is socialistic, then says the public, let us have more of it. The only criticism one bears outside of Wall street is that the work was delayed too long. One way to have avoided borrowing a remedy from the Soilclists was to have put an embargo on coal and all other necessities the moment our surplus had come abroad, but the eridity is too simple a proposition to interest our statesmen. Fixing the Price of Sugar. A further experiment into the realm of socialism will be made by Herbert C Hoover, National Food Administrator when he announces shortly the premium price at which sugar shall be sold to the public. Mr. Hoover is represented as having reached the conclusion that current prices of $1.2 to 9 cents for sugar are unwarranted, and that drastic action must be taken to reduce these prices. With hundreds of thousands of tons of beet sugar about to come on the market, and with all trading in refined sugar contracts shipped, the trade is for the moment in a quandary. Reports are in circulation that the price of cane and beet sugar will be fixed at 7 cents. Other reports are that the price will be 8 cents. There is no official news at hand, and one guess is as good as another. A price of 7 cents would upset many calculations and would tend to demoralize the producing business, according to producers. A price of 8 cents would be regarded as fairly satisfactory, and sugar companies operating in the United States, should flourish on such a bake. A Big Sugar Surplus While producers are maintaining that present prices for raw sugar are none too high in comparison with prices of cereals and other commodities, the refiners lean to the view that prices should be lower. These refiners say that there will be a surpine of sugar, when all the demands of the United States and her allies are fulfilled. A summary in round numbers shows the situation in sugar more clearly, as follows: Tons. Estimated crop (almost completed) ..... 3,000,000 Estimated U. S. crop (just Gen. Pershing's Auto Driver A Eddie Reckenbecker, the famous automobile driver, who has become the driver for Major General Pershing g, commander-in-chief of the American forces in France. Eddie Rickenbecker, the famous automobile driver, who has become the driver for Major General Pershing g. commander-in-chief of the American forces in France. (estimated) ..... 3,500,000 paper—the new chancellor will be Count Johann von Bernstorff and his acceptance of the office will be to be sold to allies ..... 1,200,000 This estimate of 800,000 tons is made by Dow-Jones, and is based on figures obtained in trade checks. The estimated home consumption of 3,500,000 tons may fall wide of the mark. In 1916, for instance, the consumption was 3,658,000 tons, and in 1915 it was 3,801,000 tons. It has been proved from European experience that consumption of sugar grows in war time, and with 2,000,000 men under arms this country may experience a growth in consumption. Likewise there may be a revision of the amount of sugar to be purchased by the allies. In 1916 the allies bought 1,200,000 tons, and this figure is used as the 1917 estimate. DID WILSON SEE PEACE ON THE WAY? PRESIDENT'S REPLY TO POPE BENEDICT HINTS AT END OF WAR HARD BLOW TO THE KAISER BELIEVED RESULT WILL BE OV- ERTHROW OF MINISTRY OF MACHAELIS Washington, Aug. 29.—Intimations in official circles that President Wil- son's note to the Vatican in response to the pope's peace proposal was based largely on convincing information that Germany is rapidly reaching a new alignment internally and that peace may come sooner that any one thinks. He says the purposes of the United States do not need to be restated. And then, that there may be no mistake, he, in effect, gives them. And they are these: 1. Make the world secure against war. 2. No dismemberment of Germany or her allies, beyond necessary readjustment of territorial lines that nationality rather than sovereignty may rule in the formation of government. 3. No economic or trade war after the war against any people. 4. No more leagues of nations fighting commercial and territorial battles against each other, but a world league, based on principles of justice and democracy. 5. Settlement of disputes by arbitration instead of by force. President Wilson's rejection of the pope's peace terms means the early downfall of Chancellor George Michaels of Germany. It also will result in an earlier "show down" before the reform element and the junkers in the German reichstag. But there was a wide difference of position in official circles today as to whether the action of the president will advance or retard the end of the war. Michaelis, officials and diplomats pointed out, will go because the leaders of both factions are sonicnied already that he is not strong enough for this important post. If the junkers can control, through the slogan they are considered certain to set up, that President Wilson's only desire is to cruz Germany, they will name a man of their own type, who will throw responsibility for continuation of the war on the United States and fight on as long as possible. If the reformers control—and this sentiment is based on information which was in possession of the president when he penned the latest state paper—the new chancellor will be Count Johann von Bernstorf and his acceptance of the office will be followed by a new peace offer from the German viewpoint. This will include, to launch it, a statement that ruthless submarine warfare has been temporarily abandoned. There was complete agreement in official circles today that the immediate effect in Teuton circles of the president's note must be a stiffening of the German war spirit. This is inevitable, officials point out, as the reply must be interpreted by the government-controlled press of Germany. But # is believed this can be only temporary. The leaders of the reform element in Germany can be expected to accept the strictures on officialdom at their face value, officials say. And in doing so, the political crisis which was scotched when Michaels was selected, will come to a head. --- Copenhagen, Aug. 29.—Attacks upon Chancellor Michaelis continue, and Prof. Hans Delbrueck of the University of Berlin now asks the chancellor an embarrassing question concerning peace. In the Prussian year book Professor Delbrueck inquires of Doctor Michaelis why if he really accepts the Reichstag resolutions as the basis of his policy, he neglects to answer the Inquiry made July 26 in the English House of Commons by ex-Premier Asquil regarding Germany, a readiness to evacuate and restore Belgium. Professor Delbueck, who openly questions the good faith of the chancellor in professing to agree with the terms of the resolution, asks whether his silence in the face of Mr. Asquith's summons does not show that those are right who insist that Doctor Michaelis takes another standpoint from that contained in the resolution. An examination for the position of elevator conductor in the custodian service in Kansas City, Kansas, at a salary of $660 per annum, will be held at the postoffice in this city on September 8, 1917.

AERIAL FIGHTING NOW MOST ESSENTIAL TO PROSECUTION OF WAR. By Morris Sheppard, Senator from Texas. Washington, Aug. 29.-The creation of an air craft board has been made necessary by the demonstrated importance of the aeroplane in modern warfare by an appropriation of more than $700,000,000 for the construction of military air machines and by the need of paying special attention to the task of producing an enormous fleet of aircraft within less than a year. Existing agencies in the various departments, competent and active as they are, are unable to superintend and complete this vast enterprise. It is necessary to establish a board of experts and business men, whose special function it will be to coordinate existing sources of aircraft supplies, standardize both the factories themselves in all parts of the country and the various parts of the needed machinery, and create new sources of production. This board will not interfere in any way with the function of military and naval authorities, but its jurisdiction will end after ten necessary number of machines has been produced. Furthermore it will fail to threaten or this board to standardize machines not only for the United States, but for all our allies, or least to take a leading part along this line. This board must be given a legal status that it may exercise the necessary influence and have the proper prestige among our allies. It may be surprising to know that until last year the government, which constituted the principal source of demand for aircraft, had ordered less than 100 machines, and that until a few months ago there were very few factories in the country making more than very few machines. This will give some idea of the task confronting us now, namely, to produce thousands of these machines within the next few months, to develop motions which shall be technically superior to those in operation by our enemies and which shall prove the determining factor in ending the war in our favor.

JAPS READY TO FIGHT IN FRANCE JAPS READY TO FIGHT IN FRANCE GREAT ARMY OF 2,500,000 SOLDIERS TO BE SENT AGAINST ENEMY London, Aug. 29.—Reports are again current that Japan may send an army to France to assist in a mighty joint offensive against the Germans. Advices from Paris today quoted Senator Lucien Rubert as saying that Japan is keeping 2,500,000 men under arms and that the major portion of this force is available for service in the field against Germany if it can be transported to the zone of action. The French press is 'devoting considerable attention to the activities of the Japanese mission, which is now in the United States.
