White Man Attacks Colored Girl Little Miss Florence, White of 3821 State St., made complaint at Harrison Street Station last Friday against One Ezee, keeper of a grocery store at 37th and Dearborn Street charging him with attacking her, presumably with an intent to rape. She told the court that was employed in a restaurant at 24 W. 37th street, that between the houses of six and seven a. m., she was sent to the grocery store for sugar, that Ezee was in his place of business alone and he told her to step back of the store. She demanded why, and the man grabbed her and with his hand over her mouth began pulling her to a back room. She broke from him and ran out of the store, and notified her uncle, who secured the warrant for his arrest. Ezee was fined $3 and $9 cost for his conduct. —Chiesgo Illinois Idea.

In a sense we owe it, as a sort of deferential token of our love and esteem, to manifest a reasonable amount of grief for those whom duty has called to danger and suffering. Everybody knows, however, that the intensity and duration of the visible manifestation of grief are seldom in direct proportion to the sincerity of our love and esteem. It is hard to be obliged to yield man or boy we love to become cannon fodder for the Hun. It is a cause for intense sorrow, but it is no cause or excuse for insensibility to our own immediate duty toward that man or boy. It is our battle they are fighting, and they cannot shoot nor eat our tears. They say it is the anguish of waiting that makes it so hard on the women. If that is the cause of our grief, we have an easy solution—just stop waiting and get busy. There is plenty to do. To have something before you, clearly seen, which you know you must do, and can do, and will spend your utmost strength and perhaps life in doing, that is one form at least of very high happiness, and one that appears—the facts prove it—not only to saints and heroes, but to average men. And those who can love enough and are strong enough in heart, will find opportunity for the same happiness, that same exhilaration in doing their part, here at home. This is the real triumph, the great victory which must be won over there, if any permanent good is to come of this great tragedy.—The Mother's Magazine. HAS HELPING HAND FOR ALL Red Cross Most Appropriately Designated as the "Greatest Mother in the World." Stretching forth her hands to all in need; to Jew or Gentile, black or white, knowing no favorite, yet favoring all. Ready and eager to comfort at a time when comfort is most needed; helping the little home that's crushed beneath an iron hand by showing mercy in a healthy, human way; rebuilding it, in fact, with stone on stone; replenishing empty bins and empty cupboards; bringing warmth to hearts and hearts to long neglected. Seeing all things with a mother's sixth sense that's blind to jealousy and meanness; seeing men in their true light, as naughty children—snatching, biting, biter—but with a hidden side that's quickest touched by mercy. Reaching out her hands across the sea to No Man's Land; to cheer with warmer comforts thousands who must stand and wait in stenched and crawling holes and water-soaked entrenchments where cold and wet bite deeper, so they write, than Boche steel or lead. She's warming thousands, feeding, healing thousands from her store; the greatest mother in the world—the Red Cross—Warren Anderson in "Packages." Sets Pastor to Thinking. If there should be a noticeable falling off in male pedestrian traffic on the east side of Illinois street, between Washington and Maryland streets, persons who have seen Sergt. V. B. Brown on recruiting duty will say he is responsible for it. The army recruiting station is $53\frac{1}{2}$ South Illinois street, and Sergeant Brown patrols that particular part of the city. If he sees a young man looking into a shop window, or looking at passengers aboard the street cars, he asks him: "Now, why aren't you in the army of your Uncle Sam?" He stopped a young clergyman. "I think I am doing my bit in my own way," replied the pastor. Sergeant Brown reports that he failed to enlist the preacher, but said, "I set him to thinking."—Indianaapolis News. German Toys Not What They Were. Simplicity is the rule in German toy shops now, and wood, once formerly used only for the cheaper toys, is now almost the only material employed. Lack of flour, which is used with cement to make the bodies, prevents the manufacture of new dolls, Wax, used for the heads, is almost unobtainable, and the material for dresses costs four times as much as before the war. Toys cost at least twice as much as formerly, metal toys are few in number, and some of the very cheap varieties cannot be lind at all. The metal that formerly went into the making of trains, horses, soldiers, magic lanterns, etc., has been taken by the government for the manufacture of munitions. Green and Mistrustful. Thomas W. Lawson said in *a* Boston lecture: "The green speculator is apt to be more suspicious and mistrustful than the seasoned one. Green speculators by their actions often remind me of the farmer who went to the Boston & Maine station, put down a $20 bill, and said to the ticket agent: "Round trip to Washington, young feller: 'Here you are.' said the agent. 'Change at New York.' 'No, ye don't, young feller!' snarled the farmer. 'I'll take my change right here.' Error of Learned Men Responsible for America Being Named After Amerigo Vespucci. The story of how the new world received the name of America is a striking example of what publicity will accomplish. Amerigo Vespucci, a highly educated Florentine, was head of a business house in Seville, Spain, probably as agent for the great trading firm of the Medicis, and helped to fit out one of the expeditions with which Columbus sailed. When the latter's monopoly was revoked, Vespucci undertook several voyages of exploration on his own account, during which he claflined in many letters to have been the first to reach the mainland of the new continent, giving the date as June, 16, 1497. On April 25, 1507, the learned heads of the University of St. Die, in Lorraine, decided, incorrectly, that he was entitled to the honor of discovery. Columbus having only reached the islands of the West Indies, and that the western hemisphere should bear his name. The name America was therefore, first used in the book "Cosmographie Introductio," by Martin Waldseemüller, professor of cosmography at the university. It has since been shown that Vaspued was preceded by both Columbus and John Cabot, but it was too late, the new world had been christened America and the fact advertised in print. The house where the meeting was held at which the classical error was made was still standing at St. Die at the outbreak of the war, and was annually visited by many tourists from both North and South America. POI HAWAIIAN NATIONAL DISH Is Being Introduced Into the United States and Is Said to Be Meeting With Favor. Hawaii is making a food-saving contribution in the shape of pot, its national dish made from the bulb of the tero plant. Until 20 years ago pot was made under primitive conditions, the bulbs being peeled, boiled and pounded in a wooden trencher until a semi-liquid paste was formed. But today modern sanitary machinery is used to manufacture the product, under supervision of health authorities in the island, and five factories at Hilo now turn out several fools daily. This new form of pot is being sent to the United States, reaching markets as far away as New York city, and a demand which began with Hawaiians who had come to the United States is generally being extended to Americans who have learned to like the dish. Pot is frequently used in Hawaiian hospitals in the diet of patients whose stomachs are too weak to digest other food, and the war interest in substitute foods is expected to lead to its wider introduction elsewhere. No Lazy Man's Place If you saw "The Bird of Paradise" and then listened to some folk talk you may be under the impression Hawai is a land where Americans go and just naturally forget how to work, lie down beneath a shady, spreezy tree and listen to the thrum of the Hawaiian guitars until they're billed into a sleep from which they seldom are aroused. "That stuff," said S. S. Paxson of Honolulu, "is all right, but it's for story books and comic operas. I went to Honolulu 13 years ago from Philadelphia, became president of the Rotary club, a member of the legislature and head of the largest automobile concern in Honolulu. When I came back to the United States I don't find any of my old companions are staying up any later at night than I do or travel faster than I do. Don't let any one put that 'go-to-sleep-and-never-wake' idea into your head. Hawaii is not a lazy man's country, by any means." Would Save Sea Loss. Would Save Sea Loss. New York steamship underwriters and government officials have authorized official tests of a new invention which, it is claimed by its designers, will save property valued at thousands of dollars in the event of the sinking of vessels. It is called a pneumatic safe and is said to float on the water, though of steel construction. It is as bursivous to fire and theft as other safes. The device is said to weigh three tons. As evidence of his faith it the success of the invention the man who constructed it will lock himself inside when the safe is lowered overboard. In case the invention bears out what is claimed for it it will be adopted for use on American oceanangling vessels. Britain's "Baby Army." When the British troops reached Italy they were nicknamed "The Baby Army." The Italians were so surprised at the smart appearance of the newcomers—differing so materially as it did from the picture presented by the home troops whom they passed—that, in the belief that they had come straight from England, they were called "The Baby Army." as a matter of fact the British soldiers were wore veterans from the Ypres salient. Marksmanship and Muscles Marksmanship with the rifle is not so much a matter of keenness of sight as of muscular steadiness. Arthur L. Gates of Teachers' college, New York, describes in the Journal of Applied Psychology some tests made by him which prove that the most accurate marksmans are those whose muscular control is so perfect that slight distractions, subjective anxiety and autosuggestion do not disturb it. Further Proof That the Man Who Keeps Pegging Away Will Generally Come Out on Top. Once there was a cobbler who was deaf and mute. But in spite of his misfortune he got along, for he was a good workman, and his shop was equipped with modern machinery. One day there passed that way a disciple of the universal brotherhood of man, who had a soft spot in his heart for unfortunate fellows. It was a wet day, and he stopped in to get his shoes half-soled. The fellow charged him 10 cents more for the job than he had been accustomed to paying, so he howled, but when he discovered that the shoemaker could neither hear him nor make reply his wrath subsided, and he went away with sympathy in his heart. For many weeks he went about, telling every one he met to patronize the deaf and mute cobbler because he had get-up enough to hustle for a living even though he was a child of misfortune. Eventually the unfortunate fellow's business increased threefold, despite the fact that he charged high prices. Finally the great humanitarian left a pair of shoes to be fixed. He said that he'd call for them about five, but something delayed him and he got there about a minute after six. There was a big touring car standing in front of the place. The deaf and mute cobbler was just leaving the shop as the brotherhood man approached, and he wouldn't unlock the door. With one hand he pointed to the town clock in the steeple while with the other he cranked the auto at the curb. That night, after supper, the humanitarian saw him out joy-riding with a wife and four husky boys. Moral—The man who, keeps his mouth shut and pugs away, is seldom in need of public sympathy—Exchange. Broadway Really Thrilled. An interesting mixup occurred one evening recently on Broadway, but it was ended after a few blows had been exchanged. It wasn't a cop or anyone else who was responsible for stopping it; it was the power of patriotism. A sailor and a young man in civilian clothes were the interested parties. They became engaged in a heated argument and went to it with bare knuckles. The sailor soon showed that he was the better boxer and it looked as though his opponent was due for a kicking. Just as the Jackie was about to land a knockout, however, a Safetyion army band across the street began to play "The Star Spangled Banner." Instantly the man of the sea quit fighting and stood at salute position. The civilian saw an opportunity to turn the tide of battle. He started his fist toward his adversary's nose, but suddenly checked the blow. Then his fingers relaxed and he slowly took off his hat and kept it off till the band had finished playing. With the last strain the civilian stuck out his hand. "Put it there, pal," he said. The sailor grasped the extended hand and the battle was a thing of the past. "Pinched" Her Own Flowers. "Pinched" Her Own Flowers. To a hospital for wounded soldiers the queen of England recently sent an exceptionally beautiful bouquet that had been presented to her. The inmates received the gift with much pleasure, says an English periodical, and to show their appreciation of her majesty's kindness and to prove that the flowers had arrived safely they commissioned one of their number to stand at the hospital gate the following morning when the queen passed. The result was a tremendous surprise. Queen Mary, seated in her car, saw the soldier standing at the gate, bouquet in hand, and, assuming that he wished to present it to her, she had the car stopped. As the soldier exhibited the bouquet the queen took it in her hand, remarked upon its beauty, calmly appropriated it and gave word for the car to go on. The soldier stared in amazement. Then, recovering his speech, he said: "Well, she's pinched 'em!" Real Compliment. Billy Sunday has had many compliments, but the one he prizes most dearly came to him, oddly enough, from a criminal's lips. It was in Philadelphia. Sunday had visited Moyamensing prison. There he had talked with a housebreaker so convincingly that the man had promised to lead, on his discharge, a Christian life. This housebreaker, discussing Sunday with a guardian afterward, said: "He came in here, Sunday did, and he fairly turned me inside out—made me sick o' meself, that's what he done, Oh, he's a winner. I think he one's of us—one o' the gang—reformed, you know." Write Letters That Smile. A plea has been made for more letters to the men in uniform. "Write often to your men in the army and navy, and make your letters smile," says Roger Daniels of the army and navy department of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. "Don't delay your letters, for there is an untold amount of cheer and comfort created by the word pictures in these home messages. When you write, smile, and keep on smiling." Hospitals Multiply. During 12 months the United States army hospitals increased from seven to sixty-two in number and from 5,000 to 58,400 beds; 30,000 more beds are being added.

Missionary Baptist Association And The State Convention Have Into Gone History. Editor of the Metropolis Gazette: Metropolis, Illinois. We wish to be allowed space in your most timely journal to make some few observations respecting the state Org- anization. The General Missionary State Association met in Chicago, in May 1918, and the State Convention in Cairo. However, we may say that the Association met with the Salem Baptist church May 22, 25. The Convention met with the First Baptist church June 12, 14. We will now take a "kinder survey" of the State Convention that met in Cairo in June. We will quote the Baptist Truth, which says among other things, "the program of the Convention was not very constructive. It was very light, etc. Again it says: The convention was not near so large in number as had been expected, about 65 in number were present. There were expected about 300. It said the Convention work was not up to the standard. The machinery part seemed to be loose, it was not executed with that order and regularity that might be expected from the Baptist brain of the State. It says again: Another bad feature of the Convention is that the feeling to not recognize and encourage lay members in the convention. It appears that lay members are not qualified to hold offices or even serve on important committees; This feature will tear down rather than build up unless ```markdown ``` modification of such unbaptistic practices are obliterated. Taxation without representation is a poor constructive plan." The Baptist Truth has been a strong surporter of the State Convention. From the reading one can see the meeting was a signal failure. However we had in mind not to have anything to say of the convention, as we are apart and both sides ought to be content. Of course the extract taken from the Truth is too plain for comment. We shall only remark that it takes something besides brain to run a Baptist convention. Now as to the editor of the Baptist, we have fought together, and fought each other and we are none the less his friend and hope he is still our friend. We have always given him credit of having the courage to honor his convictions. But if he will refresh his recollection, he will remember that we told him that we could not tsay with the Convention because of her unbaptistic methods, we also told him that we did not represent the Baptists in the State Convention; we misrepresented them, and there was a move on foot to organize a regular Baptist Body and we intended to give our influence to it be little or much. This conversation was had between the Baptist Truth office and his restaurant. We can say, we told you so. the president, Rev. S. J. Williams, poured out a tirage and fusillade of abuse and misrepresentations, Phillips, McWilliams, Washington, editor J. B. McCray, editor of that "lieing Gazette." "Phillips, split the convention, because he could not an office." It is not our custom to dignify an untruth with a denial. But, we reply to this by saying that the people in Cairo, knew better, The Brethren of the State Convention have from time to time given us official recognition, We were elected as Cor. Sec. the third time and only served one year. We were elected twice in one meeting, when our name was brought before the convention in Springfield, we declined but we declined but were elected over our protest, and resigned, and the convention elected.us again, and they begged us to serve. We served that year and when the convention met in Cairo, the next year, we were elected again in the same church that Rev. Williams was heard to say that "Phillips could not be elected to an office, so he split the convention. However we resigned in the same meeting because of a nervous breakdown. We have served as first vice, and in Chicago, we would not stand for no kind of an office. These things were not done in a corner. They also circulated the story that Phillips, and MeWilliams, split the State convention to get jobs. Let us see if this will bear the light of an investigation. Minutes of the Centralia Association May 20-22 1915. Our Grounds For Organizing. "To the Regular Missionary Baptist Churches of the State of Illinois." Dear Brethren and Sisters, this letter is addressed to you in the interest of the cause of the Master" MEN'S FURNISHINGS ```markdown ``` METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL STRAWHATS Kingdom and we trust it will be read aud received in the s.irit of which it which it is written. It's painful to come to the parting of the ways with brethren that have often walked to the house of God together, and taker sweet counsel together. Our separation from these brethren, proceeds from love of the Master rather than hatred for them. "Can two walk together if they be not agreed? Though we or an angel from Heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that we have preached unto you let him be accursed." Gal. 8. There are certain brethren who are carried away with the Church federation, Alien im- mersion, Open communion and Free-will ordination that it has caused great confusion in the ranks of the State Convention, etc." This however is a part of the declaration of the Orgniza- tion 1914, Mt. Vernon. Every body knows the National Baptist Convention did not split until Sept. 1915. We have nothing to explain away, the records must speak for themselves. Bush-whacking was never considered an honorable warfare. It also came to us that Dr. S. J. Williams, said when he came to Cairo, that McWilliams and Phillips canvassed the town against him. McWilliams is fully able to take care of himself, we do not have to defend him, but the truth of the matter is McWilliams lended him in the church he now has. Phillips happened to be in Cairo, when he came to preach his trial sermon at the First Baptist church, in fact, the church had us to come, it was a day that we were to hold a rally for the church; the entire day belonged to us, but, we turned it over to Rev. Williams to preach his trial sermon, we read and prayed and opened for him, after the close of the service they had an after meeting and we gave the church $10, that we had solicited and $5. out of our own pocket. These things were not done in a corner either We left the city the next morning, and we understand that McWilliams left in the afternoon. Mr. Williams hasn't much regard for the truth if he said these things, the one that told us has never been questioned for truth and veracity, however, we may regard what he said against us a kind of commendation rather than condemnation as we are well known in Cairo, we have been going there for near 24 years and churches as a whole have always made us welcome. We must not be too hard on Dr. Williams, in fact we are just quoting the records, so the difference is not between Bro. Phillips and Pres. Williams, but lies between him and the records. We entertain no hardness against the brethren because of their liberal views as there are some good Baptists in the State convention and we must not think hard of them because they have the milk and cider Baptists in their ranks. We think some of them are better in practice than their wrong views, while some of them are theoretically right, but practically they are wrong. There is no organization in CAPS 50c values.

Pres. Williams came to the General Missionary Baptist State Association in Chicago. In May 1918 and made a strong plea for the two state bodies to get together and said in the course of his remarks "Send Dr. Phillips, Washington, McCrary and other strong men to meet us." But lo, and behold, when he had gotten to Cairo, these men turned out to be bad men. Bro. Williams, were you juggling in the State Association, or were you afraid you could not bring things to pass? How about it anyhow? Your conduct reminds us of a political story told of on an "old darky," as the speaker put it. However he said the old man chanced to meet a crowd of Republicans, and he was a republican. He feel into a crowd of democrats, and he turned out to be a democrat, he met a crowd of Socialists, and he was just what they were. Finally he fell in the crowd of all these parties and was compelled to show his hand, when they began to try him out and the republican said to him, look hare uncle, yon have telling us all the time you were a republican, and the democrat too, and the socialist said, how is that you told us you belonged to our party, well boss, if I has to spress myself I gwine to tell truil, I just aint muffin." Dr. teel the Baptists just what you are Don't get mad now. Remember those whom the gods would destroy, they seek first to make mad and you must get into your mind there is no great methods in mudness. "Much learning maked thee mad we fear. Now as to the office in the State convention, (moderator) that I wanted and couldn't get it and split the convention, you give us more power than we nev'r dreamed of having, but it hap pened that you are mistaken, we were only one of the prime movers. While we the (East Mt. Olive Association) was in session with the Mt. Zion Bap. tist church, Dewmaine, in Aug. 1914. If we remember correctly. Some of the leading brethren of the Mt. Olive Association wrote to moderator W. P. Washington, and other brethren to pass resolutions to organize an other State Body, (Regular Baptist) and they pass same in Sept. so they did and we organized in Oct. 1914 with 12 or 15 churches and today she has more than 45 co-operative churches and as many more in harmony with the doctrine. Since the Association met, a number of churches have paid their fees. Under God we are going through the gate, gather out the stones and lift up a standard for the people. Talk about office, we are overloaded with them. We have been elected five times as vice president of the National Baptist Convention, (Unincorporated without opposition.

BOY HAD SPIRIT OF HIS RACE How the Captain's Boy, Mackinnon of the Cameronia Helped to Allay Panic. In the report of the torpedoing of the Anchor liner Cameronia with troops in the Mediterranean last summer, mention was made of the splendid conduct of the captain's boy, Mackinnon. This youngster was on the bridge with the captain when the ship was struck, and he did much to allay the excitement by shouting through the megaphone to the troops, "keep your heads, men. Dinna get excited, it's a right. Nae hurry," and so on. The sight of the small boy with a megaphone as big as himself advising the soldiers to keep cool made many laugh and quieted many nerves. The boy did many other things, and at the end the captain found he had disobeyed orders and was still on the bridge when everyone else had left the ship. When the captain told him to "clear out," he said, "I'll no go till you go, sir." The captain then caught him by the coat and slung him overboard into the destroyer before jumping himself. An eyewitness on the destroyer described seeing the captain and the boy on the bridge of the sinking ship. I hear now that Mackinnon went down in the Tuscania. Probably he behaved there as he did on the Cameronia, and the death he just missed in the Mediterranean came to him off the Scottish coast. In the list of heroes of our mercantile marine there ought to be a place for this gallant wee Glasgow lad.—London Correspondence of the Manchester Guardian. ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE Small Girl's Efforts to "Fudge" on Unfortunate Remark Could Not Be Called Successful. A number of women were discussing Liberty bonds one afternoon in a neighbor's house. Almost unnoticed a little neighbor girl had entered. At this point in the discussion she exclaimed: "Well, my aunt says she might just as well buy a Liberty bond as to be taxed!" Her remark caused a good bit of comment. One guest, who has a son in the service, became very indignant, and exclaimed: "The idea! Buying a bond to escape taxation! That's patriotism for you! That makes me tired—anybody as able as she is to buy bonds, or anything." With that last remark the speaker "flew" out of the house. The little girl, beholding the strife and bad feeling she had stirred up, tried to "fudge" on her remark, explaining that it wasn't her aunt who made the remark, but some other woman. The neighbor women held her to her first remark, and were making it pretty "warm" for the little girl, when she finally burst out with: "Well, you don't know how much it costs my aunt to live; and how much its costs her to take that trip to Niagara Falls!" The laugh with which the women greeted this innocent remark was sur- ```markdown ``` fer Page Four €xtra Ordinary Notice. ythe Sunday Schools compos- } the Mt.
