OLAND HAYES--RACES GREATEST TENOR AT CONVENTION HALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7TH.----READ PROGRAM. TWELVE MONTHS $1 50 VOL. 5. SOUTHERN TRAVEL NOTES. The writer of the article below, under "Southern Travel Notes by A. N. Observer," has beautifully described his travels and personal observations enroute. The Advocate and its widely known family enjoy from time to time reading from the storehouse of experience and knowledge of this great thinker of modern times, but—in his introductory to the editor, as "We-you and I, sixty years ago," "Remember these are war times and the A. N. Observer has observed more contingents going from a weeping mother's bosom than the editor. But, anyway, as one has said, "As a man thinketh, so he is." So we are also all. The Advocate readers will find and get much to their liking out of this splendid article of facts, as they have in others. Friend Editor: If it were not for the fact that my poor penmanship makes it necessary to use a machine I might have the pleasure of writing as our fathers used to write, and weyou and I-used to write sixty years ago, when we were little "tails" wearing our one piece suits, or a few years after. We used to write: "I take pen in hand," or "I seat myself down and take my pen in hand sometimes we wrote "take my 'pin' in hand" (to drop you these few lines to inform you of my 'hell'; and I am proud to say that I am well and doing well and hope these few lines will find you the same." Sometimes we gave additional information, such as "our cow has a fine new calf and our cat got 'drowned'; and I hope these few lines will find you the same." Well, since my poor pen and my poorer hand make it necessary for me to use a machine rather than have you get "a Philadelphia lawyer" to read it, I am glad there is such a thing as an Underwood No. 5; yet I kind of like those old things of other days—your other days and mine, Mr. Editor. Now, I must come to my travel notes and cease these references, test I be thought to be old, for the say "old men live in the past"; and we are young, Friend Editor, in spite of our slaty summers and almost unnumbered winters and our beard that would be gray, if we would let it grow out—but we are to smart for that—you and I, Mr. Editor. My last communication was posted at Norfolk, Va., and that we before the 2c rate came in to make more of our money go out. Paranathetically, it might be well for our readers to send us a few "throes" to be used in sending our notes. I promised to write concerning Norfolk, but Richmond is so far ahead of Norfolk that I can scarcely keep my promise, since I am anxious to tell you of some of the excellent things concerning Richmond, especially that she is in mourning—the white population—since the Supreme Court came to its senses and outlawed the devilish, segregation law. But back to Norfolk. Business, Etc. There are a few stores—groceries, two drug stores, any number of pressing shops and "pantoriums," ecclesiastical branches of some of the insurance companies, a number of white barber shops run by colored barbers, a few third rate shoe-shine stands—and that is about all I have seen of Negro business in Norfolk, though they have about fifty thousand Negroes there and some of them are making five to ten dollars a day. I found a large majority of the market stalls owned and conducted by colored people, and many of those owned by white people were conducted by colored men who cut the meat, make the sales, operate the cash register just as the white clerks. A Day at Hampton Institute. One of the most pleasant and most profitable days of the four weeks at Norfolk was the one spent at Hampton Institute of which all know. Our party went by interurban to Ocean View, Va., had a gaze at the broad, expansive Atlantic ocean and thanked God that there were no submarines near us. From this point we went by boat through the famous Hampton Roads to Old Point Comfort. It was the stormiest day of the season, our boat was a small, light one, and I tell you there was no comfort being thrown from side to side on that little boat. Then the Old Point was swept by a terrific gale, with the temperature "way down low" and I declare there was no comfort at Old Point that day. Of course, it is nowhere here nearly all the time, but it is at the point where the Chessie bay meets the incoming Atlantic ocean, and it seems that the tray is to show the ocean that she is not every thing. From Old Point (dis) Comfort, we went by trolley to Hampton, and we saw thousands of soldiers / enroute; but we did not volunteer to go with them to France. At Hampton, the very first person we met was Major Washington, the man who succeeded Major Moten, when he was called to the presidency of Tuskegee Institute. Major Washington is very popular with all of the students, especially with the boys of the military department of which he is the commandant. He is a fine, friendly, genial, portly gentleman. He informed us that he was in Kansas City attending the session of the National Negro Business League, and it seemed that his most vivid and most lasting impression of Kansas City was that it was hot—very hot. To hear him describe it one would think that our dear old Kansas City has just a thin crust between it and a place which is much hotter—the chief rival of Houston, Texas. I tell you if I had doubted the truth of the major's visit to Kansas City, I'd have believed him after hearing this description for, I, too, have been in Kansas City "in the good old summer time." I cannot describe Hampton—nobody can. Since its establishment by General Armstrong in 1864 it has been growing and growing; it still is growing; it will continue to grow till two one knows when. Modern water works and steam plant which supply water and heat to all of the more, than fifty buildings, up-to-date sewerage system, a mammouth dairy, a hot house system sufficient for a medium sized city, a chapel with seating capacity for fifteen hundred persons, a "gym" that will seat five thousand, are some of the objects seen and some of the activities which characterize the work of the more than one thousand students, from here and there and everywhere. It was inspiring to visit the school, see the students erecting stone and brick buildings, operating the most modern shoe-making and shoe repairing machinery, making wagons complete, making hundreds of auto bodies, operating an extensive printing plant, sewing, cooking, weaving, experimenting and doing a little of almost everything conceivable. Perhaps my racial barometer was too sensitive, but I became a little gloomy when on inquiry I was informed that there were TWO OR THREE COLORED PROFESSORS IN THE WHOLE INSTITUTION. I saw one colored professor, Major Washington, and one colored untran. I suppose there are reasons why. but it does seem that since the students are all colored, we might have a few more colored people if only to have them know that some colored people are competent and that—well, they are not there, and I have not the power to remedy, So I shall make my bow. In my series of lectures in course of preparation, I shall say more of Hampton. Here and now I close by stating that everybody was polite and accommodating, even our dear guide, for he became offended when we offered him a little tip; but, like the first son in the parable, "He repented" and accepted the tip—to keep from offending me (?) Ovations to Negro Soldiers. I suppose never in the history of Norfolk did white people, white press give as much attention to Negroes as give as much attention to Negroes as Sunday, Oct. 21st. First, came the Red Cross parade in which included Negro teachers and their pupils with banners and banners, fraternities with their members in uniform, and with bands of their own, marshals of their own and marching in line with the other folks. Negro women in Red Cross uniforms; Negro veterans of the other wars; Negro preachers and representatives of all walks of life; and in all this the Negroes conducted themselves so that there was not one word or line of criticism. Then came the send-off for the Negro soldier, including a banquet for four hundred, furnished by a few white men at $1.60 per plate. On this occasion the mayor of the city and other officials sat on the platform with the colored men, delivered eulogies on the loyalty of the Negro in wars of the nations and applauded the utterances of the Negro orators who greatly excelled the white ones. They voluntarily pledged themselves to do their utmost to see that Negro is accorded better treatment AFTER THE WAR IS OVER. On Sunday night, the 28th, the drafteres assembled in a body at St. John M. E. church to attend their farewell services before going to camp. This historic church was crowded and many persons were refused entrance. This was also the closing Sunday service of the great evangelistic, campaign conducted by our fellow-townsman, Dr. R. A. Adams. Well, I heard the sermon, heard the singing of the Gospel Choir, more than two hundred strong, heard the KANSAS CITY, KANSAS NOVEMBER, 1917. appeal by Dr. Adams, saw twenty-four men decide for Christ, saw a number of the soldiers shouting and hugging each other, mothers hugging their sons who had volunteered to serve their God, even before they began serving their country. Then, there was such an uproar, so many shouting, so many were screaming till one became dizzy and could scarcely tell what he saw or heard. However, when the smoke was cleared away, thirty-eight persons had accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, making a total of forty-seven for that day and two hundred and thirty for the two weeks. The draftees left Monday morning, 9:15, in a special of nine coaches, via Norfolk & Western R. R., for Camp Lee, to begin training for the National army. Thousands of people saw them off; tears were shed by white women in sympathy with Negro mothers who wept for their sons; white men and women mingled freely in the parade; the newspapers, all white, made pictures of the departing troops; made cuts and ran them in the papers on the front pages, as the most prominent news of the day; and the white papers conceded that the send-off given the Negro soldiers exceeded in magnitude and enthusiasm that given to the white men a few weeks before, and surpassed anything of the kind in the history of the city. I forgot to add that the, colored department of the Red Cross organization raised nearly a thousand dollars during the week, and that Negroes of Norfolk subscribed to the Liberty Loan, as individuals and as organizations, till possibly $150.00 worth of bonds were taken by Negroes. Farewell to Norfolk. Leaving Norfolk, I passed again through the famous Hampton Roads, and I noticed that nearly all of those foreign vessels which were there loaded with grain, a month before had disappeared and the grain had gone to Europe to feed the soldiers or to feed the fishes—if the U-boats succeeded in getting them. This trip was made by boat to New Port News thence by C. & O. R. R. to Richmond. Passing through New Port News, I saw soldiers and soldiers, hundreds of mules and horses, hundreds of acres being cleared and houses built for soldiers, hundreds of houses being rushed for the workmen who are engaged here, a number of the aerialplanes from the aviation school, and much else of the war preparation; and, in every place, engaged in every department of this work, wearing the different kinds of U. S. uniform and no uniform, I saw Negroes—large Negroes, small Negroes, white Negroes and black Negroes, good looking Negroes and some as ugly as a mud fence; but Negroes "doing their bit" in the preparation for the great struggle to "make the world safe for democracy." As I looked at those Negroes everywhere, I imagined I heard them saying, "We hope that will include the Negroes, and in the South as well as the North." Well, I arrived in Richmond, as aforesaid, and here I am for a few weeks. And "it may be my last time, I don't know." Mr. Editor, I expect to be in Kansas City about the 18th of December, and there to remain till the next year of our Lord; and I authorize you to accept invitations for lectures. My chief address will be on "The Times and the Negoe," and the terms will be very liberal. Yours in the bonds of old age. Prominent Arkansas Business Man Here. Mr. L. R. Jones of Pine Bluff, Ark., was in the city the first part of the week on special business. Mr. Jones is one of his home city's leading business men, conducting the largest grocery among colored in Pine Bluff. He is also the leading factor in civic affairs in developing and bringing about modern improvements in colored districts. He is a heavy tax payer and has a philanthropic spirit. C. M. E. CHURCH Stewardess Board No. 1 met at Mrs. H. Hulsey's, 250 N. Mill street, Saturday afternoon and was highly entertained. The meeting was conducted by Rev. Bolden of Topeka, who is filling Rev. W. J. Warfield's place. The meeting was brought to a close to meet at Mrs. Henderson's on Nebraska. Mrs. W. W. Patrick, 905 Ohio avenue, accompanied by Mrs. L. D. Hall, were shown through the U. P. shops last Sunday by Mr. Patrick who has been an officer of the company for more than 25 years. Everybody is going, but the police-licence. Where? To Convention Hall. When? Friday, Dec. 7th.

Current events were led by Mr. White; after music, Prof Gregg of W. U.'s made appropriate remarks and received great applause. Then Mr. Childress, a self made man; made an address on "The Chance Work of Life." He urged the young people to build themselves up mentally, morally and financially, and said, "The time has come for us to consolidate. He spoke quote grammatically and received great applause. The Battle Hymn of the Republic was sung by special request One of the best and most appropriate things done by our people was the remembrance of Mr. McCray, who was lost when the German torpedo sunk the Alcedo. Mr. Considine Jenkins one of the finest extemporaneous enologies we've ever heard. It was so appropriate and touching that many of the Forum auditors wept. He spoke of his pure Christian at Vera. Cruz said elsewhere and his bravery, for which, he had been in another race, he would have been given a medal, also said he knew Mr. McCray was somewhere around Jehovah's throne. Said he fought for a democracy of freedom to all, which he never fully enjoyed." The applause the speaker received was so great the writer imagines she can hear the prolonged ovation yet.

E ON FINANCE. ENTERTAINMENT OF VISITORS. FORUM PUBLICITY COM. Santa Barbara, Calif., Nov. 2, 1917. Dear Editor: To our many, many friends who are readers of your "Advocate" and who are too numerous for us to keep in touch with by private mall, we would like to just say how grateful we are to God for the enjoyment of blessings received as a result of their prayers and "god speeds" on our leaving, Oct. 7th. We spent the following Sunday, the 14th, in Topeka with Rev. T. W. Green of Brown chapel, A. M. E. church, and with Rev. H. L. Bolden of the C. M. E. church. Leaving there Tuesday night arrived in Los Angeles Friday morning, where we spent the day visiting with Rev. J. L. Craw of the First A. M. E. church; Rev. W. M. Tyler of the Second church and Rev. W. C. Davies of Watts, Calif. The day was well spent in company with these our old friends, whose welcoming to the ranks of the California Conference shall long be remembered because of its cordiality. On Friday evening we boarded a trolley car to Pasadena where we attended a grand reception at the A. M. E. church, given in honor of the Rev. Rev. J. F. C. Taylor and family. This was one of the greatest receptions that I have ever witnessed, being tendered to a minister. The flowers and the decorations were nondescript for beauty, as they could be nowhere else except in Pasadena, the garden spot of the world; the music by the choir was good; while a representative of every department of the church delivered a welcome address. The minister of other denominations were present and made remarks of welcome; after which Dr. Taylor arose, inspired by the cordiality of the occasion, and ably responded in his pathetic, but forceful way. The people of Pasadena are elated with their new pastor, and all indications point toward success; $1800 has been subscribed on church indebtedness and more than $500 of that has been paid since conference. We arrived in Santa Barbara Saturday noon on the 20th and were met by the officers of the church who escorted us to a handsomely furnished parsonage, where we are quite comfortable. Our church is a new structure, modern in most respects, and quite adequate for our present needs. There is a small indebtedness, and the people have a mind to work. Our membership is 56 with a nice following of friends, which makes it hopeful to add more to our causes. There are a little more than four hundred Negroes in this city, and only two colored churches; the Baptist and the A. M. E. churches. This is a great field for Christian service, the harvest is great, but the laborers are few. We are asking our friends to pray that the Lord of the harvest may strengthen us to do our bit in this field. Yours faithfully, REV. AND MRS. C. C.

MENT; PROFESSOR MAR- QUEB MAKES NOTABLE ADDRESS. (This clipping was taken from the October the 28th, appearing on front page.) Hundreds of citizens, white and colored, flocked to the Santa Fe de- port Saturday night to say a last good bye to the Negro boys, 53 strong, who left that night for Chillicothe, Ohio, where they will go in training for duty in the national army. The Colored band played martial music at Federal park earlier in the evening and a good speaking program was given. Professor Marques of Langston university was present and was called upon by Attorney George Carry to address the boys While Professor Marques had been given no time to prepare a speech, he made the most remarkable and most eloquent address delivered in Guthrie since the war began. Red Cross representatives were present and presented each of the 53 Negro selectmen with a Red Cross kit. Logan county's colored contingent was given a rousing send off Saturday night. President Marquess of the Langston college delivered an address that was a classic. When it comes to eloquence Marquess has no peer in the county. SUMNER HIGH NOTES Marylin Harris Our holiday season has started. School was dismissed on Thursday and Friday of last week so that the teachers might attend the State Teachers' association at topeka. The Junior class hold a meeting Tuesday to discuss plans for a program to be given in the assembly in the near future. The boys were called together Wednesday and the plays of the national campaign, for raising thirty million dollars for the equipment of Y. M. C. A. buildings at the various training camps and also at the front, were put before them. Wyandotte county is required to give $23,000 of this fund. Of the $23,000 the high school boys of the county are expected to give $1500. To raise the $1500 each boy is to give $2. This amount is to be paid in four payments; 40 cents the first of December; 60 cents the first of February, 50 cents the first of March and 50 cents the first of April. We are very sorry to lose Miss Clea Reed, of the Junior class. The United States Army Every army comprises three units, the infantry, cavalry and artillery. The cavalry finds the enemy, the artillery shatters them, the infantry completes the effect by its own fire and if necessary by assault. Should the enemy give way the cavalry takes up the pursuit, assisted by the artillery. The infantry takes charge 4 positions won and prepares for further advance. As an auxiliary to these three units we have the supply trains to bring food to the men and horse; the ammunition wagons to bring ammunition to the firing line; the engineers to repair bridges, build roads and lay out fortifications; the Red Cross for caring, for wounded, and the signal corps for communication purposes. There is also the staff, under the command of the commander-in-chief, which plans attacks. As to the different provisions composing the unit of infantry there is first the company composed of 260 men. Four companies combined form a battalion, three battalions form a regiment, two regiments form a brigade, and two brigades form a division. Thus one division is composed of 12,000 soldiers. A company consists of two captains one first lieutenant, three second Hen tenants. Each lieutenant commands a platoon. Each company has headquarters (2 officers and 18 men) each of the 4 platoons includes one headquarters (2 officers and men); one section of bombers and rifle grenadiers (22 officers and men), one section of automatic riflemen (4 guns, 11 officers and men). In all 53 officers and men. Thus you see only a small proportion of each company actually carry rifles. The United States Army consists of the Regular army of 200,000, the National Guards of 400,000 and the drafted men of 500,000 known as the National army. Our Regular army consists of 11 regiments of infantry, 21 regiment of field artillery, 25 regiments of cavalry, 7 regiments of engineers. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Goyden include a large amount of potatoes to sell at the retail market. We keep their diary. weekly journal press and Human TION. $1.50 WEEKLY SERVICES.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Keys, Holmes, Bowren, Richardson and Editor Kennedy represented the Kansas side in the meeting at the Y. M. C. A. Tuesday evening for which to raise a recreation fund for our colored soldiers at Camp Funston, Kansas side expects to occupy more than 3000 seats at Convention hall December 7th. Who is the man or women who would not spend a few dimes to help make our colored boys comfortable, who are on their way, probably to death, that we might remain here in peace, and happiness and have the comforts of life. Certainly we are going to Convention Hall Dec. 7th. ed boys comfort- or way, probably eight remain here less and have the certainly we are Hall Dec. 7th. Is the church-house your only evidence of being a Christian? Does your neighbor know you to be a Christian? Dr. J. H. Rankin is missionary secretary of the A. M. E. church. The world owes much to the influence of the Christian missionary. It is among the things possible that the injunction to go ye into all the world" has been a little misunderstood. There may be some idea of jump in the little word "into." The editor regretted, very much to learn of the demise of Mr. 3V. Q. Sexton, of Ft. Scott, Kas, which occurred last week. The race, state and city have lost in Mr. Sexton one of its old and highly honored citizens and his words of council and wisdom will be greatly missed in that city and community at large. A man of worth has gone. The bereaved family has our sincere sympathy in their hour of sorrow. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR G. A. Gregg, Conference President, Kanegas and Nebraska Drs.

Ninth Street Phone Bell West 2004. ORDER OF SERVICES. 9:30 A. M. Sunday school. 11:00 A. M. preaching. 5:00 P. M. Jr. Allen League. 6:00 P. M. Sr. Allen League. 7:45 P. M. preaching. The pastor delivered two wonderful sermons Sunday. His subject was "The Last Judgment, or the Dawn of Retributive Era." They were not only powerful in thought but carried with them a spiritual evidence of facts so simple and penetrating that impelled hearers to rise, from their seats and make their way to the mercy seat. These two sermons, completing the subject at the evening service were as far reaching into the receptacles of man's intelligence, probably as deep and convincing as one man ever displayed to another. the church. To go "into" the next yard, the next house, our own city and its public streets—a Christian seems a little different. The hunger of the human heart is not for the church building, not for money but for which both of these stand and at the same time are only means—the spirit of Christian fellowship. We may feel that it is perfectly all right to take a financiala and going interest in China, Africa and the isles of the sea but to entertain the notion of rendering the same devotional service right at our door is different. Christianity is missionary. It cannot be concealed in the individual, in the church building, in any race or position of humanity. It will out. Are we helping it along?

Bowren held his audience in a tense attentive silence while he discoursed upon "War and Famine." The thoughts which he hammered home to the people will be food for serious meditation many days. Why, the entire sermon was an ardent note of warning; mainly upon the topmost important factors which make up the universe, namely: Food and religion. Certainly were there present any careless, extravagant housewife when she had finished hearing the Reverent's sermon her conscience will ever be present to remind her of the conservation of food hereafter, especially after thinking upon the hard, bitter fate of the people of Juda while the city of Jerusalem was besieged by the Syrian army. During that time Bible facts state that an ass' head sold for the amount that would be $22.50 in our money. Think of it—$22.50 for a mule head in order to appease hunger! Compare that price to what food prices are today, and think three years ahead under worst conditions. Will there be much difference? After driving that fact home Rev. Bowren brought to mind this everstanding consolation, prayer. And prayer, reminds the writer of the proclamation of the President of the nation at Baptist convention which is: "Keep this coming Thanksgiving Day as one of prayer and fasting." The pastor has already pledged First Baptist to the proclamation and hope all the Baptist churches in the United States will comply with the National Baptist President's proclamation. The prayer band of the First Baptist church meets every Wednesday night and from 7:30 to 8:00 o'clock p. m. Sunday. Do not stay away for months, one of the most effectual bodies of the church. Mr. Joe Collins is the enthusiastic leader, of this band, and asks for a big gathering to these meetings. Everybody is always welcome at First Baptist. "In't it fine that a colored man was elected assemblyman; over a Democrat in New York City, the metropolis of the world? Ignit it a shame that they found large stores of food hidden in some of our large cities, and some suffering from high cost of living? Washington boulevard is the finest street in town. Can you beat it for brand new bungalows between Ninth and Tenth? A certain teacher, who has one of the prettiest bungalows in town, will go in it pretty soon. Also will go after a better half about the 25th of some month. Guess who it is. A certain prominent widow who is working in the state's rally, is doing about as well or better than some who had husbands to help them, considering everything, but did not do better than in the Red Cross campaign, which has, according to the time, one week, beat any rally this year. A fine white educator at the State Teachers' meeting in Topeka said that most of the great things accomplished in life were by men of simply common sense, and not necessarily those who had finished from colleges, showing that if you haven't common sense all the colleges in the world won't make you achieve real greatness. You must come to the Forum this Sunday at 3:30 p. m. to see "the Processional" of prominent women on the program. Men and all try to give quotations from women writers. EIGHTH STREET BAPTIST TABER NACLE NOTES The members of this congregation can say of a truth we were in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. The pastor, Rev. D. B. Jackson, preached from I Sam. 4-9 with unusual power his plea to the churchmen to be strong and acquit themselves like men was such earnestness that every heart was touched with the influence of the Holy Spirit. He preached at night from Romans 10:4. Collection: the day was January 18. The B. B. collection was on Sunday. Mrs. B. B. The Ladies Ald Society met at the home of Mrs. Sadie White last Thursday evening. A very pleasant evening was spent. We are very much elated over the farewell banquet for our soldier boys, who left last Saturday. We have received word from them telling us how much they thanked us for the banquet and how well they are getting along in the training camp. We are now engaged in a great struggle to finish paying for our new church. We are going to give two concerts for fifty cents. We have out 5000 tickets and if we can sell them all we will finish paying for the church. For those who like football take notice—Great Falls High defeats Butte High, 10 to 0. First time in seven years. The junior choir will sing Sunday morning at 11 o'clock services for the first time since organized. Mr. Williams, one of our soldier boys, has been sent back because of physical disabilities. The pastor, Rev. Horsey, wishes to congratulate the First A. M. E. church for the splendid success they had in their rally. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. There was a large attendance at this church Sunday and at the morning service, Rev. Jenkins of Kansas City, Mo., preached well and caused several to give vent to the Holy Spirit. At night he preached still better and the Holy Ghost again prompted many to utter approval of the goodness and mercy of God. God also revealed his goodness, by restoring the Pastor's voice after the last operation. He was able to talk right well, and it is like a miracle through prayer. The clubs did not report again, but Pastor D. A. Holmes paid a high tribute to Mrs. Matthews, the Kansas leader, as securing checks from people others had tried, but could get nothing. He said "she is one of the best solicitors he has met. He told the state leaders to collect all they have out. His members and friends were overjoyed to see him better, and as he expects to preach next Sunday morning, they expect a still larger congregation. Everybody is invited to come and see what "God hath wrought." The B. Y. P. U. had a "Waffle Supper," Friday night at Mrs. Lake's on Washington boulevard. Mr. Jas. Ford, head deacon, Mrs Lewis Oliver, Mrs. S. Rollus and many others are complimenting the Kansas club for working and having such a working leader who can gain money from such distinguished people. hugh deserves much credit for this splendid effort. Miss Myrtle Stewart was very much encouraged with the good attendance at Sunday School. The choir members are glad to welcome Brother Stanfield, back, among them. It is hard to keep a good fellow down. This statement is verified in the rapidity with which the walls of the Elighth Street Tabernacle are going up. Cornerstone laying Sunday, November 18th.

INABILITY TO FREE ITSELF MAY BRING DOWNFALL OF NATION. New oYrk City, Nov. 15.—To all of those who believed that the succession of Emperor Charles would bring about a change in the internal and external policies of the dual monarchy and that a separate peace with Austria-Hungary was a mere matter of time and diplomacy, the recent joint offensive of the Austro-German armies on the Italian fronts ought to serve as a sufficient answer. It was also believed at the time that the sympathies of Empress Zita would form one of the determining factors in the drive for an early and separate peace with Austria. For a time the hopes of those who believed that a skillful handling of the situation may result in a conclusion of a separate peace with Austria seemed on the point of realization. The Austrian parliament, which had not been in session for almost three years, was finally summoned. Political prisoners, hundreds of whom were cast into prison during the first two years of the war, and thousands of whom had been driven into internment camps, were pardoned and permitted to return home. A commission was appointed for the purpose of drafting a new constitution for Austria, a constitution which would grant more extensive rights to the numerous nationalities included in the Hapsburg-domains. A vigorous peace propaganda was started in neutral and even some of the allied countries for the purpose of convincing the allied public that an era of liberalism had commenced in Austro-Hungary. Numerous peace feelers were sent out broadcast, and no opportunity was left unused without first emphasizing the supposed independence of Austria-Hungary. It is true enough that Austria-Hungary was ready to enter peace negotiations. Threatened by powerful enemies on all sides, faced by disintegration from within and being on the verge of economic bankruptcy, its statesmen realized the urgency of an early peace, and so stacked their cards accordingly. But even at that Austria was not ready and in fact was unable to renounce its allegiance to Germany. Surrounded by an aristocratic clique which had in the course of previous years become entirely servient to Pan-German interests, and being blinded by the ancient traditions of the house of Hapsburg, the young emperor was unable to initiate and real reforms and to break away from the alliance with Germany. Even though his intentions may have been good, he lacked the strength and holdiness which were absolutely necessary to break away from the reactionary elements that are surrounding him on all sides. Even while he talked of peace and of his independence from Berlin he was taking the necessary steps to make Austria more than ever dependent on the will of Beginn. Hundreds of thousands of well trained German troops, were at his invitation sent to Austria-Hungary. Three hundred and fifty thousand of thees are scattered throughout various garrisons of Hungary for the purpose of suppressing any signs of revolt and of terrorizing the nationalities that are always on the verge of an outbreak. On the Prussian front alone there are 1130 divisions of German troops. All of the important centers and railway lines of the dual mccardry are today patrolled by troops sent from the German empire. On every Austrian front the troops are so disposed that the front lines are occupied by Austrian soldiers, the second line by Hungarian troops, and the reserve consists of German troops. These last serve not only for purpose of offense but also for the purpose of keeping guard over those elements of the Austro-Hungarian army which can no longer be relied on. Thus the monarchy is entirely subservient to Germany, not only in a political but in a military sense as well. There is no use of talking about a separate peace with Austria, for Austria is no longer an independent state, but only a vaseal of Germany. One may truthfully say, as was said by a certain Czech deputy in the Austrian reicharath, that Emperor Charles is only a receiver of the bankrupt corporation of Austria. SEND CHRISTMAS PARCELS EARLY SEND CHRISTMAS PARCELS EARLY Chicago, Nov. 15.—Over 400,000,000 pounds of parcels post packages—mostly Christmas presents—will be handled by the postoffice department this month and next, according to an estimate just made for teh rafroadr war board by J. C. Keons, first assistant postmaster general. The total number of parcels post packages, made in the United States in the year ended June 17 last year was 1,088,362,744, weighing 1,296,900 --- A still further increase in built number and weight of holiday parcels post is expected because of the Christmas presents which will be forwarded to the soldiers and sailors, here and abroad. In this connection Second Assistant Postmaster General Praeger calls attention to the fact that parcels post post packages for soldiers in France, if delivered by the French postoffice department, must be limited in weight to seven pounds, and be mailed in this country not later than November 15. However, parcels post packages for soldiers in France may weigh up to 20 pounds each, provided they are addressed "Care of Commanding General, Port of Embartation, Pier One, Hoboken, New Jersey," and reach there before December 5. Packages so sent, im complying fully with special regulations of the postoffice department which will be explained at any postoffice, will be transported in France over ten railroads there which are being operated by the United States army. On the railroads operated by the French government no parcel post package weighing over seven pounds, will be transported. Because of the enormous amount of parcels ost to be handled with the overtaxed facilities of the tarilway mail service and the railroads, early mailing is imperative if delay in delivery and disappointment of both senders and receivers are to be avoided.
