LEWIS SAYS HE HATES THAT TERM 'NEGRO' Boston, Mass.—"I hate the term Negro because it is being used in terms of hatred," remarked ex-Assistant United States Attorney General William H. Lewis, in the course of an address he delivered here today. "It is the cause of the segration of th Negro: it is being used in contempt in public places it is an excuse for disfranchising him; and it is an excuse for lynching him. Only one-tenth of one per cent of the colored people in American can trace their descent to Africa, and there is no more reason to call all colored people Negroes than to call all white people Turks or Armenians."

COLORED STUDENT RECEIVES SIGNAL HONOR AT ST.PAUL St. Paul, Minn.—Roy Wilkins has been elected to the presidency of the Mechanical Arts, High School Literary society, which also places him in the position of editor of the High School Magazine.

COLORED SOLDIERS WILL NOT BE HUNG Washington, D. C.Commutation by the President of the death sentence imposed by a military court-martial on Private Oscar Valentine of Troop B, Ninth Cavalry, to twenty years' imprisonment at hard labor, was announced today by the war department. Valentine was tried and convicted at Spabang Bato, Philippines, of having murdered Private Benjamin J. Wilson, also of the Ninth Cavalry. Col. C. P. Edwrds was a visitor Monday in our city. Mrs. A.

LITTLE Who was renominated at Tuesday's primary by 2,700 majority over Mr. Guyer, as the Republican nominee of the Second district, for Congress. Colonel Litle's opponent on the Democratic ticket will be Henderson Martin of Douglass county, comparatively a stranger to the voters of this district. He recently moved to Lawrence from Marion, Kansas, and should not be a strong contender at the November election. KANSAS CITY, KAN., FRIDAY, AUG. 9, 1918. Capper, Allen, Little Are Republican Nominees PRIMARY ELECTION. The primary electio Tuesday was quite a spirited concern, after all. The war so completely occupies the public mind that politics has but little interest. The vote was an exceedingly light one, caused by the large number of voters across the seas and from the fact that it was difficult to awaken interest in the contest.

The contest in Wyaudotte County was a warm one for a number of nominations. It took some time to get the usual steam up, but towards the end of the race, every candidate was pulling for the "wire" in great shape and the race became as exciting as an old-time horse race at a county fair. The following, from the face of the unofficial returns, were nominated in Wyandotte County by the Republicans: Samuel Stewart, treasurer. E. A. Enright, county attorney. R. J. McFarland, cler kof the district court. William Bird, county assessor. Earl Gilbert, public administrator. Samuel Clarke, county commissioner. William Carson, judge of the north city court. J. P. Wiles, marshal south city court. J W. Hartman, marshal north city court. The nomination for sheriff is in doubt. Representatives in State Legislature: Charles Ridgway, Seventh District Winfield Freeman, Eighth District, S. R. Williamson, Ninth District. The Democrats had no important county contests. They nominated Joseph Tggart for district judge by writing his name on the ballot. William Brown won the only contest, that for marshal of the seahow court. BIBLE CLASS All of the Neighborhood Bible Class meetings, are large now. They read and discussed Matt. 26, 1-37, and much quiet Christian interest was manifested.

C.—Negro nurses, of whom several hundred have made application for service in the army hospitals, will, by direction of the Secretary of War, be assigned to duty at the camps at which soldiers of their race are now training in the United States. The War Department has put up to General Pershing the question whether their service will be utilized with the expeditionary forces. Colored nurses will be assigned to the base hospitals now established at Camp Funston,. Fort Riley, Kansas, Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill., Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Taylor, Lousville, Ky.; Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio, and Camp Dix, Wrightown, New Jersey. At these camps a total of about 38,000 colored troops are stationed. GREAT RACE CONFERENCE Held at the Nation's Capital in Inne—Some Things it Recently the colored editors of the country were invited, by the government, to Washington for conference; to tell what, if anything, militated against a splendid morale within the race; what was necessary, on the part of the government, to invite a more enthusiastic co-operation, if such be possible, and what were the real grievances of a people whose loyalty had survived the acid test from Lxington in 1776 to Verdun in 1918. In their bill of particulars, setting forth their grievances, all of which were REAL, and not fancied, these colored newspapermen—eath and every one a true patriot, presided over by that 100 per cent loyalist, Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War—called the government's attention to the fact that ONE HUNDRED of their people had been lynched in this country since the beginning of this titantic war; that the race was discriminated against and segregated in many of the departments at Washington—the Treasury Department, which inaugurated and directed the Liberty Bond and War Savings Stamp campaigns, in which the race had cheerfully contributed millions, being a notable offender in the matter of segregation and discrimination against colored appointees who had won in a competitive examination; and twelve other grievances our loyalty, patriotism and cheerful co-operation called for adjustment.—N. Y. News. TERN WESTE Univers WESTERN University COLORED MAN MADE OFFICER IN AVIATION CORPS London, England.—A colored man by the name of L. A. Hayden was recently promoted a second lieutenant in the aviation corps of the British army, where his stabilizer is being used. He is the first of his race to receive such an appointment and perhaps the only one of his race in the world who is an aviator in or out of the army. NOTICE Prince Hall Grand Chapter, O. E.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. MOB LAW. Mob law continues to do its work, notwithstanding the President's earnest appeal to observe law and exhorting all good citizens to use their united influence to stop this terrible crime. One of the latest is that of a Negro who was hung by a Shrevesport Louisiana mob. The man was charged with having attacked the wife of an attorney of Bastrop, La. He was being held for identification whereupon he was taken by a mob from the officers, who had him in charge and hung. He claimed to be innocent of the crime, but was not given an opportunity to substantiate his contention of innocence. That is just the trouble with mob law, or one serious objection to it, often innocent persons are murdered. Of course, the crime of rape is benign and should meet with severe punishment, but it should be done according to law and thus maintain the dignity of law and prevent lynching of innocent persons. Let all good citizens use their influence to bring about a reform in this particular for mob law is demoralizing and does not lessen crime. SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION No. 18.

U. for our soldier boys who are in training there. Mr. Truman and Mr. Maddux sent in their best regards through the pastor from Camp Funston, stating they were getting along nicely. Mr. Maddux is postmaster and Mr. Truman is clerk. They reported also the other boys from here are well. FIRST BAPTIST The last service in the old structure began Sunday morning by prayer meeting, then Sunday school and the presenting of diplomas to six young people who have faithfully attended and were advanced for their good work. Four more are to be so rewarded. The 11 o'clock service was well attended and made both joyful and sad. Joyful because of praise-giving; sad because of the tender memories the old building holds. The 3 o'clock and evening services also saw a full house. Beginning Sunday, August 11, 1918, at Diggs' Hall, Third and Nebraska avenue. Services there will continue until the new building is in some condition to go into.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE LEMONS DO MAKE THE SKIN WHITE How to make a lemon bleaching lotion at home for a few cents Your grocer has the lemons and any drug store or toilet counter will supply you with three ounces of orchard white for a few cents. Squeeze the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle, then put in the orchard white and shake well. This makes a quarter pint of the very best lemon skin whitener and complexion bleach known. Massage this fragrant, creamy lotion daily into the face, neck, arms and hands and just see how smooth, soft and white the skin becomes Yes! It is harmless, and the beautiful results will surprise you. ISLAND OF GUAM IS LOYAL Voluntary Universal Training Has Helped Immensely in Americanization. How far the people of the Pacific island of Guam have progressed in the process of Americanization is indicated in the current issue of the Guam News Letter, copies of which have recently reached Seattle. The island, which is our cable outpost for the Philippine islands and the Orient, is governed by Capt. Roy C. Smith of the American navy, under the oversight of the navy department. Captain Smith seems to be developing a very ardent band of Americanism among the island people, who are known as Chamorros and have a strong admixture of Spanish blood. The News Letter describes the celebration of Washington's birthday in Guam, to which the people flocked from all parts of the island, coming by launch, owing to the absence of any island highway system. The proceeds of the various enterprises, amounting to $1,370.55, were donated to the Red Cross, and we gather that the program of amusement was purely American. For instance, the "hot dog" stand realized $108.94; Butler's soda, $158.50; knock the cat down, $112.07; the moving picture show, $75.90; the jitney dance, $45.69; wheel of fortune, $350.10; lemonade stand, $772.93; baseball game, $16.40. From all sources the Red Cross received $1,500, and subscriptions were given for $50,000 in Liberty bonds. More than this, the island militia had its first parade. Some time ago Governor Smith put into effect a universal military training law at the request of the people, this being the first portion of American territory in which such a law has been made effective. There are 1,000 militiamen, the government supplying guns and ammunition and the regular khakl uniform of the United States army. Seven per cent of Guam's population is in the militia, at which rate, if we of the mainland kept up with the Chamorros, we should have an army of 7,000,000. The flags and floats of the parade induced a tremendous enthusiasm in the populace. Officer Once Stable Boy. We have ceased to be surprised at the amazing social upheaval brought about by the war, but the shock which a gentleman received recently at a very exclusive club of which he is a member can be easily understood. On the staircase he was hailed by a resplendent young officer of the guards attired in one of those gray coats whose color and cut are the envy of all "subs." Not recognizing the young officer, there was a pause, whereupon the soldier said: "I'm afraid you've forgotten me. My name is ——." The gentleman still failed to identify the officer. "Tm of Newark," added the guardman. Whereupon the astounded gentleman recognized the grownup boy who five years ago had saddled his horse at a hunting box he visted. The stable hand had enlisted in the ranks, won a commission in the field, and finally been transferred to a guard regiment, and carried himself as if to the manner born—London Mall. Polish Army in France. The flag of Poland was lifted on the battle line when the Polish legion, 15,000 strong, recruited mostly in the United States, took its place among the allies in France. It is only a little army that the ancient emblem of a free Poland is flying over now, but every Polish volunteer in France and every patriotic Pole in the United States and scattered elsewhere throughout the world, is confident that ultimately the flag will wave over a free and strong and reunited Poland, and every Pole understands that it is only through a triumph of the allies in this war for justice and right and world freedom that the restoration of Poland can be brought about.—Springfield Union. Wartime Wall Street Before the war Wall street was just a thoroughfare, the brownest and busiest in the world. Now, as it draws its slight bow up to Trinity, it has lost something of its dusty absorption. Like Fifth avenue and Broadway, it has undergone a transformation; and the long flags that hang from the windows of its offices swing in gay laces of The Advocate received a fine letter from Walter H. Maddux this week giving an outline of the detention camp where he is now located. He stated the great care being taken to immunize all against diseases, such as smallpox, typhoid fever and meningitis. While the Kansas City boys have been transferred to Camp Funston, which is eight miles away, he and Mr. Truman are being kept at the detention camp to assist in handling those who arrive next. Both of these young men have clerical positions. Walter wished to be remembered to all his friends. If anyone wishes to write to either of the boys, their address is 10th Prov. Co. (Col.) 164 D. B. Camp Funston, Kansas. DISTRICT SUPER- INTENDENT HIGHLY ENTERTAINED Mrs. M. L. Butler of Parsons district superintendent of the A. M. E. Sabbath school of the Kansas City district was the house guest of Mrs. Luella Green, 1407 North Eighth street, for a week. While here many functions were had in her honor. Tuesday evening Miss Theodosia Hamilton, 828 Nebraska, entertained Mrs. Butler at six o'clock dinner. On Thursday evening Mrs. McClelland and daughter, May, 830 Freeman, entertained Mrs. Butler at six o'clock dinner. Those present were Mrs. J. F.

Reynolds hsa returned from a pleasant visit to Prof. Marquess in Oklahoma. CHRISTIAN YOUNG MAN PASSES AWAY The funeral of the late Mr. Eugene Vaughn, who was drowned in the Kansas river at Bonner Springs was held from Allen Chapel A. M. E. church in Kansas City, Mo., Tuesday at 2 p. m., Rev. Thoms officiating. The large church was crowded with his many friends, and an appropriate printed program was carried out in detail with beautiful music. The deceased was a member of four lodges, among them the Knights Templar. All of them turned out to pay their last respects. He ws a very mannerly cultured young man and best of all, he was a Christian. The members of his church, Allen Chapel, his lodge members, and the Boy Scouts, of which he was scout master, and his many friends esteemed him highly. His floral offerings were beautiful. Deceased leaves a devoted father and mother, two sisters, other relatives and a multitude of friends who regret his demise. The Advocate and staff extend heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved.

DOES THE SOLDIER THINK OF WHAT HE CAN "AFFORD" TO DO? How Many War Savings Stamps Is Your Boy Worth? You know, by this time, about the War Savings Stamp drive, June 28, when American citizens everywhere, are to meet in the schools and sign pledges promising to pay for all the War Savings Stamps they can afford between that date and December 31 this year. But do you know the meaning of the word "afford?" Is there anything, any sacrifice, any self-denial you cannot afford in the interest of helping Kansas to subscribe for its quota of 37 million dollars in this big drive? Do you suppose your son thinks of what he can afford to do for his country when he enters the trenches on the Western Front to fight for democracy? And, just by way of information, do you know the meaning of this word Democracy? Franklin K. Lane, our great Secretary of the Interior, says the American spirit of 1918 calls for justice. Justice means understanding, and understanding means sympathy, and sympathy means brotherhood, and brotherhood means democracy, and so we come to the real meaning of this great movement which Americans are helping to support by subscribing for War Savings Stamps. Will you sign a pledge card in your town or county agreeing to take every War Savings Stamp your son at the front thinks you can afford—every War Savings Stamp he and you and his mother think this blessing is worth? There's a committee in your town and county. You'll be called upon to answer the question in a day or two. How many War Savings Stamps is your boy worth? HAVE YOU FALLEN SHORT? THE PRESENT CRISIS DEMANDS UTMOST FROM EVERY CITIZEN. Back Up the Boys "Over There" by Buying War Savings Stamps. It is a small think to ask of Kansans that they invest their money in War Savings Stamps. Should those of us who stay at home give all our worldly goods, that could not be comparable to those who give their lives that we may continue to dwell in peace and enjoy the blessings of civilization. But the government is merely asking that we loan it our money for less than five years. Let each of us consider personally what he is doing, what effort he is puttin gforth, to promote the war program. Let each of us ask himself and truthfully answer if he has suffered any special inconvenience or really sacrificed because of the war? If so, you have entered into the splirt of the times. If not, you aren't awakened to your responsibilities nor to the duty that is imposed on every loyal American in this hour of stress. If you haven't bought liberally of War securities, you have not done your duty. If you haven't given generously to war activities, you haveallen short. The present crisis demands the utmost from every citizens. If you are an American every atom of your strength, every ounce of your intelligence, every dollar of your money, will be forthcoming for the government. Just now, besides the other services you may be rendering, the government is asking you to invest in War Savings Stamps. Do it now, and buy libertly, and pledge yourself for future purchases for the remaining months of the year. Back up the boys "over there" who stand between us and less German domination. HOW MANY WILL YOU EQUIP? It Costs Uncle Sam $156.71 to Outfit An Infantryman in France. You make time deposits in your bank so that your money will be safe against the human tendency, the temptation to draw it out by check. You have an interest in that bank, but it ends the moment your account is closed out. In buying War Savings Stamps, an American citizen should buy with the intention of keeping the stamps for redemption in January, 1923, when every stamp costing $4.17 this month will be worth $5. A War Savings Certificate—20 War Savings Stamps—costing $83.60 in June, will be worth just $100 in January, 1923. That's a profit of $17.60. Two hundred of these War Savings Stamps will cost $834 this month and they'll be worth $1,000 in January, 1923. Many Kansans can afford to buy 200 stamps between now and December 31, this year. It costs the government $156.71 to equip an infantryman for service in France. How many soldiers will you equip—remembering that your country will repay what you lend it in the big drive, June 281. FAMOUS "FIELD OF BLOOD" Sald to Be Spot Judas Purchased With the Silver for Which He Sold: His Master. Just outside the walls of Jerusalem, in the Valley of Hinnom, is a rocky plain known as the Aceddama, or Field of Blood. It is the potter's field, purchased with the 30 pieces of silver for which Judas sold his master. Here for centuries visitors to the holy city, dying while on their pilgrimage found a resting place. Gray and barren, it is a desolate spot, solitary but for the chance visitor and a few withered gray-clad monks from a nearby monastery. For a small fee, one of these ancient recluses will show you the sights of the place. Caves and underground passages, honeycombed with tombs, are cut in the rocky field. Your guide leads you down age-worn steps, cut perhaps in the sixth century, into crumbling halls. His torch casts flickering uncanny ehadows on the damp gray walls. The place seems to resent your intrusion; it is the "place of sleep," the hall of the dead. On one side is the tomb of some warrior monk who followed the fortunes of Richard Lion Heart of England to the holy land, dying at the very gates of the city his master had hoped to conquer. He must have died penniless, too, as so many of these zealots did, else his bones had not rested in the potter's field. Near Aceddama is a ruined channel house, said to have been built by the Crusaders for their dead. It is a tumbling ruin, nearly thirty feet long by twenty wide, with one side of naked rock. Beneath it are two of the largest caverns, their rock sides pierced with tombs and shallow graves. In the roof of the ruin are holes through which the bodies of the dead were lowered. The Field of Blood is on the northeastern slope of the Hill of Evil Council, where tradition says the villa of Calnaphs stood, and where the chief priest and elders plotted the execution of Jesus. SAVE MONEY FOR FARMERS Direct Testimony Showing That the Woodpecker Should Be Protected by All Agriculturists. We are assured on high authority that if birds were as numerous today as they were 60 years ago it would mean a saving of many million dollars to American farmers. The slaughter of migratory birds is surely followed by the increase of destructive insects. Among the farmer's bird friends are the woodpeckers, especially the red-headed members of the species. In proof there is cited the following instance: A pair of them nested in a dead cottonwood tree near an orchard. One day the observer watched them through a pair of glasses. The young birds were about half grown. The parents made 96 trips in one hour, each time with a worm. It is safe to say that they saved 96 apples in that hour—a box worth, say $1. If the birds worked ten hours a day, they were worth $10 to the owner of that orchard', or, in the three weeks the birds were in the nest $210. It is plain, then, that no farmer can afford to kill a woodpecker. All Wrong, Napoleon. "The dull, drab years of middle age," is the way a X. M. C. A. worker classifies the period in a man's life from thirty-five to forty-five. He says that men of this age are frequenters of saloons, that they are mostly married and that they are not as desirable in the way of citizenship as the male individuals of seventeen to twenty-four, who spend much time with their sweethearts, or the male individuals more than forty-six, for that after passing forty-five and presumably surviving the "dull, drab years," a fellow turns his attention to things spiritual, generally to church work, and begins to live again. "The truth is," said a pawer of the rail, "this X. M. C. A. gink seems to have lost, as a good many academic students of the saloon lose, the real solution. No better explanation ever has been made or ever will be made than that men go to the saloon because they have no place else to go that gives them the same sort of unconventional welcome. They go there not because their years are dull and drab, but because the gregarious instinct calls them."—New York Sun. Prlmitive Submarine. In the early part of the seventeenth century a submarine was successfully navigated in England from Westminster to Greenwich. The inventor and navigator—Cornellus Drebel, a Dutchman—enjoyed the patronage of James I, and the credulous king was only prevented from taking part in a submarine trip by the assurance of some of his counters that Drebel was "in league with Old Nick." The boat was so constructed that "a person could see under the surface of the water, and without candle light, as much as he needed to read in the Bible or any other book." It was also propelled by oars. High Society. Miss Richen-Frisky—My parent's wedding was very exclusive, doncha know. They were married in the Little Church Around the Cornar, in New York. Miss Pooren-Sassy—Pooh, that's nethin'. Mine went up in a balloon at the state fair, and took the presenlion path, but HONOR DRAFTEES Wichita, Kan., Aug. 8, 1918. On last Friday, August 2nd, the Liberty Club was again called upon to arrange a farewell jolification for our soldiers to be who left over the Santa Fe last night at 11:55 for Camp Funston. The club president, Prof. F. C. Barrett, and his able corps of assistants' both ladies and gentlemen, set about the arrangement of the program for the entertainment and amusement of the draftees with the result that one of the most enjoyable picnics in the history of the city was held in South Riverside park. Promptly at 3:30 the parade, headed by the Liberty drum corps, under the leadership of Corporal R. H. Todd, marched to the park. Upon their arrival there they were addressed by Mr. H. W. James, master of ceremonies for the occasion, who, in his usual capable manner, introduced the speakers. The first on program was an address by Mayor L. W. Clapp, whose was an interesting speech. Next was a ringing patriotic speech by Capt. S. W. Jones. Rev. E. T. Fishback was the next speaker who in an eloquent manner told what the Negro was fighting for and what he would demand upon his return. Dr. G. G. Brown gave some highly interesting data and some good and wholesome advice to the draffees. Money belts were then presented to the boys by Mrs. E. C. Helm from the ladies of the Red Cross auxiliary and comfort kits from the W. C. T. U. They next turned their attention to the amusements Baseball, races and other sports were keenly enjoyed. Messrs. C. P. Edwards and F. L. Barnett were the starters for the races, hundreds were lined on either side of the track and witnessed the races, loudly cheering. The foot race by the girls was won by Miss Clora Topp who received an Eastman kodak. The auto race by Dr. J. E. Farfer foot race by the boys E. Washington, one of the boys of the draftees. Afterwards the boys were served with supper and cold drinks, by the ladies of the Liberty Club.

Possibly Admiralty Had Sense Enough to See That It Was Poor Business to Discourage Such a Man. There was a certain young officer—John. Chisholm call him—who played poker occasionally. He commanded a "filver," which is the service term for the smallest class of destroyers, the 750-ton ones. In the navy there are plenty of people who will tell you that they never built destroyers which keep the sea better than that same little filver class, James B. Connolly writes in Coller's Weekly. Young Captain Chisholm of the 323 was one. One morning, having conveyed a fleet of merchant ships safely to their port, the 323 was one of a group of destroyers making the best of their way to their base port. Officers and men who have been hunting U-boats for a week or, so do not like to linger along the road home. So it was every young captain giving his ship all the steam she could stand and let her belt. It was moderately rough when they started. It grew a bit rougher. Chisholm in the 323 was going along at 20 knots when a fellow he very well knew came along in his big 1,000-ton destroyer. His nose hauled up on the quarter of the 323; up to her beam; up to her bridge. As she passed the 323 her commander megaphoned across: "What you making, Chlz?" "Twenty knots!" hailed back Chisholm. "I'm seeing your twenty knots and raising you five!" returned the other, and passed into the lead. "All right," said Chiz, "but wait!" The sea grew rougher. The 323 was bouncing pretty lively, but hanging on to her twenty knots. "And at twenty you let her hang if she rolls her darned crow's nest under!" said Chisholm to his watch officer—"and we won't be acting rudder to this bunch going into port!" They were still going along at 20 knots when from out of the drizzle ahead they saw the stern and funnels of a destroyer. It was the big destroyer that had passed them, and the tough little 323 breasted her stern, her waist, her bridge and as he passed her (and he came quite close to let all hands view the passing) young Captain Chisholm leaned out from his bridge and hailed: "Call yuh!" This same young filver captain was headed for port in the usual hurry and was already well into the west channel just outside the port when a signal was whipped out from the signal tower. It was for this ship: "West channel mined last night by U-boats. Proceed to sea and come in by east channel." Chiz did not proceed to sea, and he did not come in by the east channel. The harbor saw him come straight on to his mooring. Said Chiz: "I was well into that channel when I got the signal. And, of course, the first instinct was to obey orders. But I stop and think: 'This ship of mine, she's 300 feet long and under her stern there's two big propellers. If ever I turn this 300 foot ship in this channel with those two propellers churning and there's any loose German mines around, there won't be a blamed one of them she'll miss. But if I keep her straight on there's a chance.' So 'Hell's fire!' I says to myself, 'the only thing to do is to keep straight on!' And I kept straight on, and we made our mooring." After that they waited to hear what the admiralty had to say. But they heard nothing; whereupon some said that was due to the admiralty concluding that it is poor business to scold an officer who carries through a nervy piece of work. with the hydrochloric acid. In addition raw egg white leaves the stomach much too rapidly. It is the only protein which acts in this peculiar way; the only one to leave the stomach unchanged. However, in spite of these multifold infiquities, "raw egg white," concludes the medical-journal, "is not really harmful, but it must be remembered that in keeping with newer findings it must be cooked."
