SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE PRESENT The field day exercises of the student body of Lincoln high school held in Convention Hall Friday evening, May 11, was undoubtedly the most thrilling, enthusiastic, successful and largely attended affair of its kind ever witnessed in Greater Kansas City. Not only did the student body enter with a zest into making the program an overwhelming success, but the faculty seemed to have caught the spirit as well and staid and dignified teachers were simply bubbling over with joy at the overwhelming success of their first entertainment on such lavish scale. The program began promptly at 8:15 with a selection by the splendid student band, whose development has been little short of marvelous under the direction of that premier of band instructors, Major N. Clark Smith, after which the battalion in full uniform and equipment marched into the arena with soldierly precision amid a tittum of applause that fairly shook Convention Hall. After a few evolutions, they were called to attention and in a few brief, but stirring sentences, Editor Nelson C. Crews presented a beautiful new flag, the gift of the faculty; then came the military review which was as precise and rigid as tho it were a regiment of seasoned veterans on review. The inspection was made by Lieut. R. C. Baird of the United States Army, Dr. Fred Burger, Supervisor of Physical Training; andProf. J. H. Markely, Assistant Superintendent of Schools, who also judged the drills. Much credit is due Sargeant Leon Weeks of the United States Army for the splendid degree of excellence the cadet body has attained since being under his instruction. In the competitive drill, Company B, Capt. Miller commanding, won the first prize. The magnificent work done in the training of the girls by Miss Jeanette Mack in charge of the Girls' Physical Training Department of Lincoln high school was a revelation and the unstinted praise accorded her by patrons and teachers since the affair would turn the head of less experienced teacher. But The Sun declares that Miss Mack is entitled to all the praise and congratulations that are being heaped upon her because unheralded and comparatively un known by the people of this city, she NEGRO BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL.

The Kansas City Sun has accomplished a work that will stand out for years to come as superexcellent and has thoroughly established her in the minds of Kansas Cityans as the greatest physical instructor of girls in the race. Major N. Clark Smith has also been overwhelmed with congratulations upon the remarkable work he has accomplished not only with the band and orchestra, but in the military spirit he has infused into "his boys," as he affectionately terms them. Profs. Wm. H. Dawley and H. O. Cook demonstrated their masterful business qualities in handling the financial end of the affair so successfully. The Sun is proud of every member of Lincoln High School Faculty, and the splendid results obtained this year demonstrate that their brilliant and popular principal, the unconquerable J... R. E. Lee, has imbibed all the art and perception of his old master, the lamented Booker T. Washington, whom he assisted in making Tuskegee the greatest school in the world. Space will not permit us to describe at length all the excellent numbers on the program, but none created more unbounded enthusiasm on the part of students and patrons as well, than the wall scaling contest between the boys of the school: The first prize going to Squad 5 of Company B, with the invincible Howard Miller as their leader, who also won the special prize for all around excellence in athletics. He is the promising son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Miller of 2324 Lydia avenue, and has a great future before him. Miss Yvette Jones won such praise by her delineation of a Spanish dansuee, assisted by the girls in picturesque, but beautiful costumes. While the first aid to the wounded depicted by the boys and assisted by the girls gave a vivid picture of the horrors of war. In the closing number, Miss Opal H. White made an ideal Goddess of Liberty and the program closed at 11:15 amid a fanfare of music and a tumult of unbounded applause. The Sun sincerely hopes that some of these numbers will be repeated at the commencement exercises June 8, and that 10,000 Colored people will be in Convention Hall to witness the closing exercises of the most successful year in the tory of Lincoln high school, to which admission will be free to all.

MALLORY FUNERAL LARGELY ATTENDED LAST RITES PERFORMED SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR BUSINESS MAN OF JACKSONVILLE—IMPRESSIVE SERVICES. Jacksonville, Ill., May 15.—The funeral of Frank Mallory Sunday afternoon *at* 3 o'clock at the Mt. Emory church was probably the most largely attended funeral of a Colored citizen of Jacksonville ever held in the city. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity and more than as many more people srowded around the entrance and in the church yard and remained silent and respectful awaiting the close of the service and the formation of the funeral procession. There were a large number of people from all walks of life, attesting the firm place that the deceased had in the regard and esteem of the community. The services were conducted by the Rev. E. L. Scruggs, pastor of the church, assisted by the Rev. H. H. DeWitt and the Rev. J. W. Muse. Music was furnished by the choir of the church and Shelby Nichols sang as a solo, "The Home Land." There was an abundance of beautiful flowers, many floral emblems and designs testifying to the cherished memory in which the deceased was held by numerous organized bodies. The flowers were in the care of the following young women: Miss Noana Aron Swar, Miss Gladys Mallory, Miss Arra Mallory, Miss Grace Mallory and Miss Elnora Lafayette. The local lodge, Mallory Lodge, No. 2, Knights of Pythias, attended in a body and grand chancellor of the state, Dr. Allen Wesley, of Chicago, was present and conducted the Knights of Pythias ritual service att the church. The sermon was a well reserved tribute to the life and character of the deceased and was delivered by the Rev. E. L. Scruggs on the text found in Phillipians 1:23-24. Resolutions and correspondence expressing condolence and appreciation were read by Jean Hayden from several different organizations, both in Jacksonville and abroad. Honorary pall bearers were: Wm. Jones, Edward Harmon, George Coffman, Charles Hogan, Smith Majors and Wath Williams. The burial was in Jacksonville cemetery. The bearers were: John King, Charles Jackson, Moscow Sutton, Adison Berry, Claude Burghart and Edward Berry.

San Francisco, May 17.—An independent training camp for Negro officers will be established soon in the Western army department, according to announcement today. All Negroes who have been recommended for reserve commissions will be excused from other duty until the camp is established. San Antonio, Tex., May 17.—The War Department has under consideration the forming of a camp for Negroes to train as reserve officers to be used in officering the Negro regiments which will be organized under the Selective Draft Bill. It is probable the camp will be located in a Northern city, although no decision has been reached to this effect. When the training camp for reserve officers was ordered at Leon Springs many applicants were received from Negroes, but as no provision was made for them in the order, they were told to wait until the matter could be adjusted. This condition obtained at other reserve officers' camps and the War Department is now considering the establishment of a camp exclusive for Negroes. ```markdown ``` WANTED!

Like a clap of thunder from a clear sky came the unexpected announcement of the summary dismissal of Secretary DeFrantz of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. by General Secretary C. S. Bishop, acting apparently for the Metropolitan Board, the controlling authorities in the Y. M. C. A. work in this city. Few people were aware that there was any friction in the management of the "Y" and they were loth to believe the news when they heard that the Secretary has been ousted. A representative of The Sun has made diligent effort to ascertain the causes upon which were based the action of the Metropolitan Board but has only been partially successful. It seems that the committee of Management of the Paseo Department, composed of the following well known colored men: Dr. L. E. Bailer, H. O. Cook, J. H. Crews, L. A. Knox, H. J. Spigener, L. C. Stewart, Edw. Ross, W. G. Moseley, G. A. Page and Dr. J. E. Perry had authorized the Executive Secretary DeFrantz to install a gas pump during the past spring owing to the fact that the furnaces had been shut down and there was not enough gas to keep the Cafeteria and baths going. This action was violently opposed by General Secretary Bishop who said the "Y" should not set an example of hogging a public utility to the detriment of their neighbors and the less fortunate and ordered it removed which was not done. Previous to this objection had been made to the building of a barber shop in one section of the lobby and the Metropolitan Board thought this should not have been done without authority. Upon the refusal to remove the offending gas pump seems to have been based General Secretary Bishop's action and on last Saturday a letter was sent to Mr. DeFrantz to turn over keys, papers and paraphernalia of the Executive office to his assistant but the Committee of Management insisted that Mr. DeFrantz should remain until the case could be placed before the General Board and he is still reporting each day at the building. Robert Benjamin DeFrantz has been Secretary of the Colored Branch of the Y. M. C. A. of this city for ten years, coming here from Topeka, Kan., his native home, where he had been secretary of the local branch for $2\frac{1}{2}$ years previously. He began his work here under most discouraging circumstances when the "Y" was really a "Y" in name only, meeting being held from place to place oftimes in the room of some member. He has fostered and developed the organization until it grew into the splendid power for uplift and racial encouragement that it has become today and was one of the prime factors in securing the handsome new building in which it is housed today. The Sun is unable to determine what the final result will be but regrets exceedingly that friction has arisen in this useful and much-needed institution in this city. THE ODD FELLOWS MAY ELECT EDITOR. At the recent installation of the officers of the G. U. O. of O. F., elected at the last session of the B. M. C., in Washington, Henry P. Slaughter, editor of the Odd Fellows' Journal, acted as master of ceremonies and, as usual, gave a most satisfactory account of himself. It is entirely within the range of possibilities that at the New York session of the B. M. C. in 1918, Mr. Slaughter will be elevated to the post of Grand Master. He has earned that exalted station by hard work for the order, and he has the qualities to make an ideal leader of a great body like the G. U. O. of O. F. of America.

The Mission Circle held a very interesting meeting at the home of Mrs. Ewing at 1616 Steptoe avenue, last Friday, at 2:00 p. m.

JUST A FEW WORDS. (By P. C. Crews, Columbia, Mo.) I am glad to say that the good ministers of the Columbia P. E. District are doing well considering the high cost of living; quite a few souls united with our churches this winter in the district. Columbia, St. Charles, Glasgow and Salisbury are using individual communion cups and other churches in the district will present communion sets, for consecration when we reach them. Many prayers are being made that presiding elders Bryant and Beal may continue to lead their districts to success. We hope that all of their preachers will continue to report to them as they are men who stand high in the North Missouri days Cure on the CKE WONDERFUL MATIC Cents per Bo nal—Sold by 7000 A territory and Foreign AGENTS WANTED -Immediate relief, two hours week for Throat---Ten days for L Pains and Stiffness in the Bod the Pure Food and Drugs Act, S S WHO HAVE BEEN I want to say I used one bottle of Mackey's Liniment and it has done me more good than any medicine I ever used.

Among the graduates of the Lincoln High School of Carroilton, Mo., were the nephew of the Editor. The commencement exercises were held Friday evening, May 18, at 8 o'clock, from the Virginia Street Baptist Church of that city. The last issue of the Recorder, edited by Sir W. G. Mosely, was the most credible issue of that magazine that has ever been gotten out and our Right Eminent Grand Commander has been receiving many congratulations for this up-to-the-minute edition. The Masonic Relief Board met last Monday at Hannibal, Mo., Grand Master W. W. Fields presiding. The reports from the various departments were quite satisfactory, although the jurisdiction has had an unusually heavy death rate this Masonic year. The Commencement Exercises of Western University are looked forward to with much pleasure and anticipation by the myriad friends of this famous Institution. And the prospects are that this will be one of the most brilliant commencements the Institution has ever known in its long period of existence. Although ill earlier in the spring, President Kealing has labored assiduously to obtain satisfactory results. Those who know say that the exhibits in the Industrial Department as well as the work in the Literary Department will surpass anything of recent years. The president is exceedingly fortunate in securing the services of Dr. C. B. Spencer to deliver the Commencement address, and Bishop Parks reports that many ministers and their families of the district will be in attendance. Under the direction of President Kealing Western University has taken high rank among the Educational Institutions for colored youth and with the liberal appropriations being made by the State of Kansas for its support it is destined to be one of the greatest schools of the race. Y.M.C.A. Notes Y.M.C.A. Notes Among the interesting facts that are shown by the annual report just sent to the International Committee of New York City of the activities of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. for the past year will be an increase of 12 per cent in the membership; 1056 men and boys had membership for a shorter or longer period during the year; 262 men and boys were given employment; a total of 5386 persons attended religious meetings, including the Bible classes; 57 professed to begin the Christian life; more than 2,000 men were served through the dormitories and the total attendance at all gymnasium classes was 19,665. Experiences seldom read of, and never heard directly from the one who has experienced them, were told by the Rev. Harrabellio Aleckamousa Marangeopa at the men's meeting on last Sunday afternoon. His life from the very beginning, when found in a hut on the island of Mauritus, Mozambique channel, among fourteen dead bodies, has been one of an unusual experiences. Although born in a heathen land he received thorough training in the public schools of Manchester, Lancashire, England. Having been fitted for missionary work through this training he returned to his native land for service. Here he was captured by a wild tribe and held in captivity for three years; later he crossed the Sahara Desert on foot, was robbed and beaten by Bulgarian bandits in Bulgaria, chained for weeks in an underground Russian prison and since coming to America has had the lynchers hempen noose three times around his neck in Alabama. And, as he says, all this for Christ's sake and by Christ marvelously rescued and saved to serve humanity.

Here it is, I have been thinking that every person was an enemy of mine. "How foolish" of me and then to learn to my surprise that there isn't a man and especially a "Nigger," but who has not the kindest and best regards for me and back two or three years ago it was I who was going around breaking in peoples houses. Why all this sudden love and respect. Back in 1912, when the trail began to get so warm up until April 1917, I was a disagreeable bullie. NO ONE could gett along with me and ever since, there has been some very important discoveries made relative to my morals. Strange, indeed! Now, I learn to my satisfaction as well, that everything is all right. Just who it was that this satisfactory agreement was made between, I don't know, but I do know that I was not consulted in regards to any of these things; in fact I was not consulted at all. When the privilege was taken to go thru my things at 2432 Flora avenue, also where I work, at looking over my personal belongings (and God was with them) and they say "NOW" that everything is all right "sure." What are you trying to do? Make another Frank case like the one that was pulled off in "Georgia?". Sure, I got the card that you need, but I don't intend to discard for I intend to either tab the game or win it myself. That's rough stuff that you'en and we'en are spreading around and is coarse. Say, where did you import all of them mind readers from? Good work! It really is too bad that you'en and we'en got yourself all tangled up in a net that you had stretched for someone else. What a pity! You thought with your mind-readers, you was doing something, Wittie, now! The best you can do is to follow him around. What do you think about the report. That—that one turned in that was at the theater Thursday night, May 10, 1917. "What a fool—a fool is." And I have often said that the biggest fool that I ever saw was the one that was always trying to fool someone else that—O well, experience is an awful good teacher. Go as far as you like. Men boys and women, but I rather think that you will lose your bet with me as In Future Years when men shall tell, Of valiant deeds mid stress and fire, How they swept on when comrads fell, That FREEDOM'S name might still inspire. When Homeward they shall march again, From hard-fought field, and from the sea, And MUSIC swells a grander strain— O God, grant Thou this boon to me: That I may join in that high speech, To tell the wonders of the fight; How that I, too, did help to teach That TRUTH must triumph over MIGHT. On that great Day, point me a place Among the Heroes of the line, That I may bring me waiting race, Bright jewels on each brow to shine. Let those who hear my story told, And see the sears—the dinted blade, Know that the hated things of old, Will rise no more to make afraid. Let Prejudice, and Greed, and all The blight of Hope, I've known before, Be banished with a Despot's fall— Let VALOR find an Open Door. God give me power to do my part. Help me perform the deathless deed. Gird me with strength, set firm my heart, In this dread hour the call to heed. And if I be not there to tread, The VICTOR'S way with Glory drest; Somewhere among the silent dead, Where raged the battle, let me rest! —Roscoe C. Jamison. NEGRO PUBLICATIONS. A GOOD SPRING TONIC.

JEANES FUND BOARD MEETS IN NEW YORK Encouraging Activity in Behalf of Negro 'Education in Rural Districts of South. DILLARD MAKES A REPORT. New York City, N. Y., May 10.—The trustees of the Anna T. Jeanes Foundation of one million dollars, held their annual meeting here Thursday, May 3, at the office of Mr. George McAneny, one of the editors of the New York Times. Present at the meeting were the following trustees: Dr. Jas. H. Dillard, president, Charlottesville, Va.; George Foster Peabody, of Spencer, Trask Co., bankers, New York; Mr. John T. Emlem, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of Delaware college, Newark, Del.; Dr. Robertt R. Moton, secretary of the Jeanes Fund board, and principal of Tuskegee Institute; Hon. J. C. Napier, cashier of the One-Cent Savings bank, Nashville, Tenn.; Hon R. L. Smitch, president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute Alabama, who has been elected to the vacancy created by the death of Dr Booker T. Washington. The members of the board, not present on account of illness or pressing engagements (or business) elsewhere, are Dr. David C. Barrow, president of the UUniversity of Georgia; Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist and humanitarian; Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, Virginia; Mr. Belton Gilethre, of the American Coal Corporation, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of the Western UUniversity, Kansas; Hon. Walter H. Page, American Ambassador to England; Dr. Talcott Williams, head of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, New York; and former President of the United States, William H. Taft, of Yale University, New Haven, Conn. Dr. Dilliard's Report Shows Progress. The report of Dr. James H. Dillard, president of the board of trustees, was the feature of the meeting. It showed that a genuine wave of progress is being made throughout the southland with reference to the educational development of the Colored children in the rural districts of the various states. He reported that work is being done by the Jeanes Fund board in 191 counties in the South, and that 194 Jeanes Fund supervisors or teachers are in charge of the work. The board last years spent $38,199 for this work, and under its plan of co-operation with southern county superintendents an additional sum of $33,722.92 was paid from county public funds, a total of $61,921.92. This is a remarkable form of co-operation when it is recalled that five years ago nothing at all was contributed fro mute public funds for this important work, which is now being carried on in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The trustees are gratified to announce that the general education board, in recognition of the effective results secured in the South by the Jeanes Fund board, has appropriated the sum of $15,000, to be used in extending the operations of the board. The Jeanes Foundation was made possible by the generosity of a wealthy Philadelphia lady, now deceased, who provided in her will that a fund of $1,000,000 from her estate should be devoted to the development of the schools for colored children in the rural districts of the South, the necessity for such aid being pointed out by the late Booker T. Washington. NEGRO SEEKS OFFICE. Lexington, KY., May 10.—A. L. Britt-wel, a school teacher, is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Magistrate in Fayette county, Fourth district.

It is written by a citizen of a neutral nation, and a theologian, J. P. Bang, D. D., professor of theology at the University of Copenhagen, and he justifies its title by the statement that "the new German spirit has found one of its most classical expressions in a collection of poems published by a German pastor, Konsistorialrat Dietrich Vorwerk, under the significant title, 'Hurrah and Hallelujah,' and I find in this combination something so absolutely characteristic of the German spirit that I have adopted it as the title for this book." This book, in the opinion of Ralph Connor, who has written the preface to it, "constitutes the most terrific arraignment of Germany through her intellectual and religious leaders which has yet been put forth. Out of her own mouth it is that she stands before the world condemned. And the tragedy of it all is in this, that these men (whom Doctor Bang quotes) are sincere, deeply, passionately sincere. And herein consists the awful nemesis that has after 50 years' pursuit at length overtaken the German soul. For the crime of Germany today of which these sermons and lectures convict her is not hypocrisy; but the long practice of hypocrisy has induced in her a spiritual blindness which has become at once her calamity and her curse." "The allies," says Doctor Bang, "have denounced the Germans as barbarians. If this were meant to imply that Germany was not a civilized nation (Kulturnation) such an accusation would, of course, be absurd. Germany is unquestionably a civilized nation and none of the spokesmen of the allied powers would think of denying that she has produced rich treasures of 'Kultur.' Wherever the German mind has labored, wonderful riches have been the outcome. In the most diverse domains, but especially in those of music, of literature, of science and religion, it would be easy to mention names that shine with the luster of renown throughout the whole world. But the charge of barbarism points in an entirely different direction. It points to a development within Germany which has been going on with headlong rapidity, especially during the last 50 years. Even the highest Kultur can turn to barbarism when it becomes subservient to utterly false and immoral ideas. In Germany such a craving for power, such a worship for mere strength, has taken root and grown, that the claim of right to be a determining factor in international relations has been entirely pushed aside. A colossal and ever increasing self-admiration, a belief in the glory of all things German, the surpassing merits of the German nature (Wesen), which alone has the right to rule the world, a cynical, brutal assertion that in relation to this claim all existing treaties, all appeals to international law, all consideration for weaker peoples, are of no significance whatever—all this we have witnessed with shuddering astonishment. Foretold Belgium's Fate. "The first place is due to Ernst Moritz Arndt, the great German patriot of the time of the War of Liberation. As early as 1834 he declared in one of his writings that the neutrality of Belgium could not possibly be maintained in a future war. He wrote: "Belgium, the granary and armory, is predestined to be the battlefield in the struggle for the Meuse and the Rhine. I ask any general or statesman who has seriously considered the problems of war and politics whether Belgium can remain neutral in a European war—that is to say, can be respected as neutral any longer than may appear expedient to the power which feels itself possessed of the best advantages for attack." "The German writer, G. Traub, makes the following inimitable comment on the above: "Thus an Arndt has, as far back as 80 years ago, given us absolution for this so-called breach of neutrality, having foreseen that it is here a question of higher necessities, and that Belgium herself, that "half French country," cannot possibly remain neutral." "The second German prophet is the well-known philologist and theologian, P. de Lagarde. Already in 1874 he expressed the view that Bismarck's creation of the German empire was only an episode on the way to the formation of the Great Middle European state. He calls the German empire 'Little Germany.' Even at that time Lagarde, as a German has lately put it, formulated the national demands which the Germans, 'not with unblushing arrogance, but realizing the inherent necessity of the case,' must consider as the indispensable foundation for the German people's co-operation in the history of mankind. These demands are extensions of frontier both towards the East and the West. "The greatest and most popular of all the new German prophets is, however, the poet Emanuel Gelbel, whose centenary has recently been celebrated (born 1815, died 1884). It is he who has given the classic expression to the new German hope of Germany's victorious march through the world. This has been achieved in the lines to which I have already referred, and which are quoted times without number in the newest German war literature: "Und es mag am deutschen Wesen Elmnal noch die Welt genesen!" "The world may yet again be healed by Germanism? The hope here expressed has become a certainty for modern Germany, and the Germans see in this the moral basis for all their demands. He says: "Germany had set her mind upon building her house in peace, but then came her hereditary foe, puffed up with venom and envy. The blood so criminally shed shall be upon him and his brood. We do not dream of an easy victory; this war is a world judgment, and strong is the spirit of lies; but he who was once the stronghold of our fathers will again see us safely through it, be assured of that! "God, who went before us in the flame of fire, now grant our people strength for the last victory, strength to root out the dark seed of lies, the foreign alloy, from our hearts, in faith, word and deed. Enter at every portal, thou strong Cesare German spirit, which, born of light, dost show us the way to light, and establish in our midst, at once weapon-strong and pious, in freedom, discipline and morality, thy millennium. The German Lord's Prayer. "The new German spirit has found one of its most classical expressions in a collection of poems published by a German pastor, Konsistorialrat Dietrich Vorwerk, under the significant title, 'Hurrah and Hallelujah.' In the first edition of Pastor Vorwerk's poems there occurred a paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer, of which I will cite the last three petitions and the close: "Though the warrior's bread be scanty, do thou work daily death and tenfold woes unto the enemy. Forgive in merciful long suffering each bullet and each blow which misses its mark! Lead us not into temptation of letting our wrath be too tame in carrying out thy divine judgment! Deliver us and our ally from the infernal enemy and his servants on earth. Thine is the kingdom, the German land; may we, by aid of thy steel-clad hand, achieve the power and the glory." He thus invokes God in a battle prayer: "Thou who dwellest high above cherubim, seraphim and Zeppellins in thy heaven; thou who art enthroned as a God of thunder in the midst of lightning from the clouds, and lightning from sword and cannon, send thunder, lightning, hall and tempest hurting upon our enemy, bestow upon us his banners, hurl him down into the dark burial pits." Another poet, Fritz Philippi, has written the following poem, entitled "World-Germany:" "In the midst of the world war Germany lies like a peaceful garden of God behind the wall of her armies. Then the poet hears the giant strides of the new armor-clad Germany; the earth trembles, the nations shriek, the old era sinks into ruin. Formerly German thought was shut up in her corner, but now the world shall have its coat cut according to German measure ('Jetzt wird der Welt gemessen Der Rock nach deutschem Mauss'), and as far as our swords flash and German blood flows, the circle of the earth shall come under the tutelage of German activity. "We have become a nation of wrath; we think only of the war. We execute God's almighty will and the edicts of his justice we will fulfill, imbued with holy rage." Other German poets revel in radiant visions of the blessings which victorious Germany is to shower upon the poor, thirsty, alling world. German Virtue "Gushes." "When these storms have done their work, Germany's purest mission begins: to become a place of refuge, a holy grove for all the seekers of the earth, a central land, a land of wisdom, a land of morals. Then will it be the flower-wreathed hospitable gateway, facing towards the glittering East." Another, K. Hildebrand: "Blessings stream and flow down upon those who have given themselves up to thee; there German virtues gush Himpid forth, there German power wells up. What a draught from this spring! Strong and deep and of high courage, the German spirit flows along, the German nature (Wesen) flows far over the life of all nations." Here is an extract from a German theological professor, the burden of whose thesis was that room must be found in the world-history for that great event, the healing of the sick world by Germanism: "There are also signs that the German people may be singled out by God to be the means of 'once again' defeating the destructive anti-Christian tendencies of the age, and, in virtue of his having intrusted them above others with his pure gospel, carrying on the course of the mission to its consummation. So much is certain, that God is planning to do something with us. Our people are inspired by the thought that they are called upon to play a special part in the decisive battle between light and darkness, and by the hope of them standing on the side of light." In the report of an address by another German theological professor, in the Berliner Lokalan- THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, MAY 19, 1917 (Oscar Cesare in New York Evening Post.) zeiger for November 13, 1914, we read as follows: "But the deepest and most thought-inspiring result of the war is 'the German God.' Not the national God, such as the lower nations worship, but 'our God' who is not ashamed of belonging to us, the peculiar acquirement of our heart. Max Lenz has already testified to the revelation of the 'German God,' and Luther's hymn, 'Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott,' merely expresses the same idea in other words." Doctor Bang then proceeds to substantiate his statements in detail by quotations from German war sermons, of which we have only space for one or two samples. H. Francke is the author of a popular book of "war-sermons," which was ornamented with the iron cross and published at the request of numerous members of his flock. Here is a typical utterance of the many quoted by Doctor Bang: A Promise of the Lord. "They envy us our freedom, our power to do our work in peace, to excel in virtue of ability, to fulfill our appointed task for the good of the world and humanity, to heal the world by the German nature, to become a blessing to the people of the earth. Wherever the German spirit obtains supremacy, there freedom also prevails. And have not our enemies to fall back upon lies and venomous calumnies in the endeavor to justify their assault in the world's eyes and their own? Does this not prove that the truth, too, is with us? Truth and freedom, those two great blessings, are in our gospel promised by the Lord himself. "Germany is precisely—who would venture to deny it?—the representative of the highest morality, of the purest humanity, of the most chastened Christianity. He, therefore, who fights for its maintenance, its victory, fights for the highest blessings of humanity itself and for human progress. Its defeat, its decline, would mean a falling back to the worst barbarism." Walter Lehmann is the pastor of Hamberge in Holstein. He has preached a series of sermons which he has published under the title: "About the German God." The book is ornamented with the Iron cross. In a sermon of August 23 the question is put: "Who is responsible; the crazy murderer in Serajevo, the weakling in character and will on the Russian imperial throne, the criminal grand dukes, our neighbors on both sides, or the deceitful islands? In any case it is not we." He then lauds the Fatherland, the mother tongue—it is for these we are fighting, and "Germany is the future of humanity." "He who in these days sets forth to defend the German hearth, sets forth in a holy fight; he sets forth to a great, incomparable divine service, in which, indeed, one neither prays nor sings, but in which one stakes life itself, this single sweet, beloved life, for the life of a whole nation, a nation which is God's seed-corn for the future." In a discourse on Sedan day, September 2, he rises to loftier heights. "Once again German soldiers are treading the soil of places rendered famous by the war of 1870-71. Once again German soldiers lie at St. Quentin, preparing, quietly and confidently, for the march on Paris. God writes, indeed, a wonderful history. "Yes, but so it is, my friends: that glorious feat of arms 44 years ago gives us courage to believe that the German soul is the world's soul, that God and Germany belong to one another." Here is one from Karl Koenig, the author of "Six War Sermons:" It Is God's Will. "God does not will the war, but he wills that we, as Germans, shall will freedom, because otherwise we cannot fulfill our great tasks in the service of mankind, and be enabled to become a source of love and light, of truth, virtue and religion. We Germans did not will the war, but we did will and are bound to will freedom. And because they will not let us have it, it was God's will that we should will the war. And thus we carry on the war in God's cause, in the cause of mankind, in the cause of liberty, in the cause of our dear, great Fatherland."—Kansas City Sta INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute.) (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MAY 20 THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-CON TROL—TEMPERANCE LESSON. LESSON TEXT-Iss. 28:1-13 GOLDEN TEXT—Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. I Cor. 9:26. Wine in the Scriptures is spoken of under four aspects. First, social, that as illustrated by its use at the marriage in Cana. We must not, however, confuse this wine with the spirituous, strong drink of this present day. Second, medicinal (Prov. 31:6-7; I Tim. 5:23). These passages do not command us to use it as such, and God has very graciously revealed to us in modern medical research the futility of the use of alcohol in the matter of medicine as a remedy. Third, sacrificial wine (Matt. 26:27-29; Luke 22:17-20), and fourth wine is spoken about as productive of the woes of men (See Amos 6:1; Heb. 2:15; Prov. 23:20). It is also mentioned by way of contrast (See Eph. 5:18). The Scriptures speak of drunkards in four different ways: (1) They are to be stoned (Deut. 21:20); (2) Drunkards lead to poverty (Prov. 23:21); (3) Drunkards are to be separated from other men (I Cor. 5:11); (4) they are to be finally separated from God (I Cor. 6:9). Abstinence from strong drink is enjoined in the Scriptures under three heads: (1) the priest and Nazarite (Num. 6:3; Luke 1:15); (2) the ruler (Prov. 31:4); (3) those who are to worship Jehovah (Lev. 10:3). This particular lesson is taken from a portion of Isaiah's prophecy where he is anticipating what is about to happen to Samaria, and uttering his warnings unto Judah. 1. The Steps of Intemperance. First, Disgrace and Dishonor (v. 1). The city of Samaria is compared to a chaplet of flowers on a drunkard's brow, which shall be trodden under foot because of his inebriety. Drunkness seemed to have been so widespread as to become a national sin. Second, Disease and Degeneracy (v. 2). The pride of beauty spoken of in verse one is to "fall to the earth." This glorious beauty was after all only a "fading flower" (1 Pet. 1:24). The coming of the Assyrians upon Samaria is described in a three-fold way: (1) As a "tempest of hall"; (2) as a "destroying storm;" (3) as a "tempest of mighty waters overflowing." The thought contained is that of widespread and overwhelming destruction. Back of this work of devastation and destruction and desolation was the wrath of God against sin (Ch. 2:4-9). All earthly pride shall be trodden under foot. Samaria, "a fading flower," was to be greedily eaten up by the oncoming enemy. II. Those Reached by Intemperance. Strong drink causes men to err in their conduct, in their moral insight, in their judgments. It reaches the beautiful (v. 1); it reaches the learned (v. 7); it reaches those in authority; in fact all classes. It leads men to the depths of degradation and to the loss of their wills (v. 8); it makes men to become beasts, wallowing in their own vomit. Not only Samarla, but "these also" (vv. 7 and 8), that is people of Jerusalem have erred through wine and strong drink. Even the priests and the prophets had and do so now (See Ch. 56:10:12; Micah 2:11). The priests were especially inexcusable because of the plain directness of God's word (Lev. 10:9:10; Ezekiel 44:21). The result of their intemperance was that they utterly failed in their official acts. They reeled in vision and stumbled in judgment. The use of wine and strong drink made their social gatherings filthy and disgusting. Temperance is the habit of abstaining from everything that destroys. It is the control and right use of God's good gifts for service. Intemperance is lack of control or the wrong use of God's gifts in self-indulgence. III. The Lesson in Contrast. Jerusalem vs. Samaria. Samaria's crown of pride was not the glory of God. Its beauty was a fading flower (v. 4), his wisdom contemned through the ignorance of Samaria (vv. 6, 7, 12), his strength versus their weakness and wickedness (vv. 6, 13). God teaches by contrast as well as by direct precept. Verses nine and ten may be taken as a mocking answer of the people to God's prophet. Isaiah intimates that the time to begin our instruction is in childhood (v. 9), that precept must be upon precept, and line upon line, here a little and there a little. There never is a time when we can let up in this struggle against the mighty evil of intemperance. Take as a reply (v. 9) this would seem to indicate that God took them to be babies just weaned. If the prophet, himself, is the speaker, then Jehovah is represented as teaching knowledge to babes and not to the self-sufficient. It is these whom he "makes to understand his message" (R. V. ), and the method of his teaching is precept upon precept. If we will not hear God's loving and patient call to repentance, he will speak to us through cruel enemies. If we will not teach our children, if we will not keep everlastingly agitating this question, he will use oth er means (v. 11).

All quarters of the globe have been ransacked to provide this aristocrat in millinery for women who are devoted to outdoor life and there are wonderful weaves in straw hats from China, Japan, India, the Hawaiian islands, South America, and our own land. The shapes are much like those of sports hats which were launched for spring of which three are pictured in the group above. at a glance just what the front rank of m Along with the hats, others, like the little trimming, fit as presentable and sake of variety. Breakfast Following the lea The "Country Club" hat is most simply trimmed with a band and bow of narrow ribbon, often like it in color. There is nothing tame about it in spite of this simplicity, for it has the courage of color and comes in all the more or less vivid shades which hats for sports wear have made the vogue. Besides white, there are emerald, gold, purple, rose, turquoise, apple green, chartreuse and navy in the gay procession, and two-toned hats—in certain weaves with underbrims in contrasting colors. These last shapes for country and sports wear represent the utmost in effort of expert block makers. They are intended to meet the demands of women of critical and educated taste and must fit comfortably to begin with. Without being unusual in shape they must embody beautiful lines and so much style that they place themselves the bottom with a handsome silver tassel hanging from a silver ornament. It is beautifully mounted in a silver mounting with chain handle. The bag at the center is made of a splendid brocade in silver on a heavy black satin ribbon and is finished with silver tassel and ornament. The mounting is beautifully closed and suspended by a silver chain. The bag at the right of the picture has a hinged mounting that flattens when it is closed. It is of gilt and silver with silver chain. The heavy brocaded ribbon that forms the bag is in rich colors, in which gold threads are woven, and has a black border. The brocaded flowers are in Chinese design and a splendid silk tassel is of the same Oriental origin.

Following the lead in coats, and dresses the new breakfast negligees are made on the lines of a wrap fastened at the throat and the waist, flying loose thence to the skirt hem. These breakfast coats, as they are known, may be made of silk, of satin, crepe de chine or crepe georgette. They are voluminous in their lines and are to be held in charming pastel tones as well as in the vivid colors which have become associated with the art of Bakst. Generally speaking the breakfast coats have wide collars that are not unlike capes, and these are edged with lace or with self ruches. The sleeves are short and very wide at their terminals.
