CAMP FUNSTON, KANS.—WANTS MEN—WAR MATERIAL MUST MADE—MOBILE REPAIR SHOP. THE ENLISTMENT OF COLORED MEN INTO TECHNICAL POSITIONS OF THE COLORED DIVISION OF OUR ARMY. 1. Believing that your paper has at heart the best interest of the country and of the colored race, I am appealing to you to publish an article in the next edition of your paper, on the great need of the colored division here, for intelligent, educated and technically trained men. 2. It is believed that many men who have not already been called by the draft, but who are liable to be called in future acts, would much rather enlist now and get positions similar to ones with which they are familiar in civil life than to wait until they are actually drafted and placed indiscriminately as privates the huge concentration camps sheer on all over the country. This action on the part of a man should also appeal to his pride, because, if he elects to choose this method of entering the service, he can class himself as a volunteer instead of having waited to be called. 3. Such an opportunity exists in this division right now. The Ordinance Department, the department of our Army which handles the big guns, rifles, machine guns, and fighting equipment of the soldiers, is going to organize what is known as a the Repair Shop. This is in all ability machine shop on wheels, consisting of a large number of powerful motor trucks especially equipped for running up behind the lines in France, and making all manner of repairs to the injured guns and material. 4. Every day that is added to the terrible conflict bears out more and more the fact that this is a war of guns and material, individuals become more and more dependent upon them and the bullets which go into them. For these reasons, it can readily be seen that the work of repairs is of paramount importance, and the Mobile Shop is calling for the best talent of our race. 5. The men desired will receive rank varying from Privates to Ordinance Seargents, and pay from $30.00 to $51.00 a month, food and housing free. Men possessing the following must qualifications must be obtained and must be obtained at once. (a) Men competent to act as general superintendents in the Mobile Shop. They should have sufficient mechanical and executive ability to be foreman of a good sized machine shop in civil life. They should be familiar with the use of the lathe, drill press, bench grinder, electric drill, oxacatene molding outfit, air-irriveting hammer, milling attachment, blacksmith-and wheelwright outfits. They should have had extended experience in the upkeep of gas engines and the use and repair of auto machinery. (b) Men competent to act as foremen of the machinery sections of the shop, capable of supervising the various kinds of repairs which come within the scope of such apparatus as is named in section (a) above. (c) Men competent to act as foremen of the equipment sections of the shop, capable of supervising all kinds of repairs on rifles, pistols, machine and automatic guns. (d) Men who are first class machinists and all around auto mechanics. (e) Men who have a thorough working knowledge of small machinery and tools and special experience in saddlery or the repair of leather goods or canvas articles. (f) Men who are expert mechanics and who have had special experience in auto repair work. (g) Men who have had the training of apprentices in a machine shop and are qualified to act as helpers and assistants to expert mechanics. (h) Cooks (1) Stenographers and typists. (2) Clerks, men capable of handling a typewriter, keeping records and with the ability to learn readily the system of military correspondence. 6. Men who contemplate enlisting for these positions should not be frightened and the use of the names of strictly military material. Men who show the proper aptitude add training will shortly be sent to large manufacturing concerns throughout the country, and will receive special courses of instruction, (varying from 30 to 70 days,) along the lines of work which are particularly desired. This is another big inducement for men who desire to improve themselves at government expense, while they are at the same time doing their bit. The fact should not be lost sight of that, while these men are serving the country they are burying along the power transmission being able at the end of the war to resume their civil occupation entirely unimpaired. 7. Men who desire to come into the service for the special purpose of joining the Mobile Repair Shop of the 92nd Division (colored), should write at once to Major P. S. Gage, Division Ordnance Officer, 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kansas. Major Gage will then send them application blanks which they will take to their Local Boards, and they will be enlisted into the service and sent directly to Camp Funston at government expense. The above applies only to those men who are within the draft age, 21 to 31. Men who are over 31 years of age should come here at their own expense and be enlisted here on the spot. They may enlist with their local recruiting officers, but must be very careful to NASHVILLE A CITY OF OPPORTUNITY—THE LEADING NEGRO JOURNAL IN TENNESSEE. MR. WILSON AS A WAR PRESIDENT MR. WILSON AS A WAR PRESIDENT LITERARY DIGEST COMMENTS ON WAR PREPARATIONS—NEW YORK PAPERS GIVE OPINIONS—A CHANGE MUST BE MADE. Altho Senator Chamberlin, one of the strongest critics of our warmachine, is himself a Democrat, many Washington correspondents discover a partisan motive behind much of the criticism that is being launched against Secretary Baker's department. A new Congress, we are reminded, will be elected next November, and even the Presidential election of 1920 is not very far away. The charge that Republicans were trying to "make politics out of the war" was voiced on the floor of the Senate by Senator Stone, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who also took occasion to denounce Colonel Roosevelt as "the most potent agent the Kaiser has in America"—a form of denunciation that must have a familiar sound to the Senator's own ears. At the same time the Colonel himself, says a Republican, now would be "tell the truth and speed up the war" hurried to Washington "to help every man who sincerely desires to speed up and make effective our war preparation." If there is an element of partisan politics in this controversy, it is noteworthy that both sides agree in interpreting the popular demand to be for a more vigorous prosecution of the war. Neither side takes a pacifist, or, as it is called in Italy, a "defeatist" attitude. Returning to the reported disappointment of our European allies with the results of our ten months of war efforts, we are told bq Arthur S. Draper, London correspondent of the New York Tribune, that confidential statements from "some of the highest-placed European statesmen and soldiers" left him with "the following general impressions": "First—America has failed thus far to get the European view-point of the war. Our plans are based on the idea that England, France and Italy are prepared to carry on until American troops are ready to deal the final and crushing battle." Second—America has failed to live even to her own modest program, this being due largely to the shortage in tonnage; but, whatever the cause, the fact remains that keen disappointment has resulted. "Thirdly—Not only have the past months proved the marked unprepar- specify emphatically, that they wish to be sent to the 92nd Division, at Camp Funston, Kansas, as soon as possible. 8. For those who write to Major Gage, they should state their: (a) Full name, age and address, training and qualifications. (b) Previous civil experience, with the name or names of employers and addresses. (c) Number and address of your local board. 9. I cannot urge too strongly that you give this matter the greatest publicity in your paper. Put it on the front page and give it an appropriate heading in strong black type. Impress upon your readers that this is a floating opportunity. It will soon be past, and those who do not come to a decision promptly and communicate with Major Gage, will find themselves left out and the organization of the Mobile Shop completed, and nothing left for them to do but to run the chances of being drafted as privates and placed wherever the government sees fit to put them. T. T. THOMPSON, 1st Lieut., 93rd Division, Assistant Personnel Office NASHVILLE, TENN., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1918. BILLIONS OF INCREASE IN CROP VALUES AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS—RAILROADS CONTROLLED BY GOVERNMENT—HOLD LIBERTY BONDS—COLORED AMERICANS RALLY TO COUNTRY. edness of America for the gigantic struggle, but only recently has the American higher command begun to organize on the proper scale." Editorially The Tribune affirms that our industrial and business conduct of the war has not been "on a plane of the highest American capacity." and it explains this fact by the President's "apparent disinclination to gather around him and work with men of strong and aggressive character." The Cabinet, it says, "was not distinguished even for peace times, and is now wofully inadequate for the business of war." The same paper proceeds to sketch the present situation in the following terms: "We have been at war ten months. And for more than ten months before that it was inevitable clear that our entry was inevitable. We have raised an Army of a million and a half—an admirable effort, but on the English with one of our air fighting ships, had in the same time equaled or surpassed. And of this number one million two hundred thousand are still idly tramping the training camps. It is saying nothing that Ger man many does not know, and that Ger man newspapers have not printed day after day, that there is now little proxpect that even the whole of this Army can be landed in France this year They lack a full equipment of rifles of machine guns; and we lack ships The war may be lost before we can strike an effective blow. "We have laid down a huge ship-building program, and even the skeleton of the first ship to be fabricated under this program is not yet complete. Our railway system is greater than that of all Europe, and it can not get immediate materials to the ship-yards. And the yards have not the labor needed to carry out the schedule. We produced last year, possibly, more coal than all Europe, and we have a coal famine. Our steel product in 1916 equaled that of Germany and Britian combined, and near to half this capacity is now idle for lack of coal. And the largest corn crop in our history is threatened with rot for lack of cars. "Organized labor has proclaimed its loyalty from the housetops, and the number of strikes and of men involved since last April 6 has been unexamined in our history. It is a disappointing and un-American picture—a nation of a hundred million baffled and impotent." The blame for this state of affairs, says Charles Summer Bird, in the Boston Transcript (Rep), should be placed "not on Secretary Baker, nor Secretary Daniels, nor Secretary of Labor Wilson, but on the head of the Government, the President, who has failed in this great crisis to call to his Cabinet—as Llyod George did in England—the ablest men of the country." "The President" he adds, "can supply visions, and these alone will not win the war." The very success of the cause to which we have pledg- The value of farm products of the United States for the year 1917 reach the tremendous and unprecedented sum of $1,944,849,400, an increase of more than six billions over the values of 1916 and almost nine billion more than 1915. The Department of Agriculture has just issued a preliminary estimate for last year showing crop values of $13,610,453,000, representing 70 percent of the value of all farm products for the year, and $5,833,386,000, the value of animals and animal products of our farms. By far the greatest and best customers of the farmers of the country now are the United States and our Allies, which are used by all of the Governments in purchasing the products of American farms is raised by the sale of Liberty Bonds. Part is spent by the United States itself and part loaned to the Allies. In lending to the United States, therefore, hite American farmer is simply enabling its best customers to purchase his products and receiving in return the best security in the world. Good business as well as patroltism urges the farmers of America to liberally support the financial undertakings of the Government. OUR AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS. The following unofficial estimates of the value of our exported agricultural products, most of which went to Europe, to the nations at war with Germany, during the years of 1916 and 1917, show what effect obedience by this Nation to Germany's demand in her War-Zone decree would have had on the American farmer. The figures are for the 10 months of 1917 ending with October and for the full year of 1916. Exports . . . 1917. Cotton . . . $663,783,000 $502,617,000 Wheat flour . 99,025,000 70,839,000 Wheat . . . 224,444,000 172,516,000 Barley . . . 21,115,000 18,032,000 Corn . . . 65,115,000 41,682,000 Horses . . . 30,225,000 52,570,000 Wool mulch factures . . . 14,150,000 34,627,000 Mules . . . 12,972,000 22,130,000 $1,030,870,000 $9,141,994,000 These figures do not include the lesser agricultural exports, nor all in manufactured form. The effect on the price and value of the more than a billion dollars' ed our strength and our resources, declares the New York Times, "is visibly endangered by incapacity in some of the high places the President has filled." A statement issued last week by the American Defense Society, of which Colonel Roosevelt is an official, reads in part as follows: "During the last nine months loyal Americans have refrained from criticizing, realizing the great task of converting a peaceful nation into a warlike one, and being more than willing to help and not criticize. Now the time has arrived to speak out and urge upon the President the fundamental policy of drawing out the best brains and experience in the country to aid him in his task. "A Cabinet of well-meaning modiocre gentlemen who can handle the routine duties of peace time can not in fairness be expected to administer the enlarged Departments which have be created to carry on the war with Germany. The war waging country in Europe has seen the accessivity of strengthening its Cabinet, and America will be no exception. The time to begin is now. All political and personal considerations must be put aside in this crisis in the national life. President Wilson should invite the strongest men in the country to sit in his Cabinet and assist him in the conduct of the war, regardless of party. "Many of the mistakes and failures have been due to incompetence, if not disloyalty, below the Cabinet, but a stream can not rise higher than its source, and the only effective way to get competent subordinates is to have competent heads. Too many boards. Too much talking. Too little action. Individual responsibility is an essential. Modern war is so largely industrial, the problem is so intricate, that from other fields of education you cannot acquire necessary knowledge in a short time. For this reason a coal-man should be in charge of the coal-problem, a railroad man in charge of the railroad-problem, a clothing-man in charge of the clothing-problem. Let us cut out the men, however devoted and however intelligent, who might in time learn the technique of the various government bureaus, but who now lack the requisite knowledge and experience. It is time for a change." From the Republican viewpoint of the Philadelphia Inquirer the situation appears as a "howling farce of incompetency." Says this paper: "Secretary Baker a failure as Secretary of War. Government control of railroads thus far has brought to relief. The coal-situation of entanglement which has been growing steadily worse under the management of Dr. Garfield. "Congress should override Baker, if the President will not do so of his own vocation, and place entire responsibility for the manufacture of munitions in the hands of an expert. In his turn, the President should name a man of experience and organizing ability in the place of Dr. Garfield and get rid of a few professors and lawyers who are now encumbering important offices in Washington. "A real War Cabinet and concentrated authority—that is the way out of the situation, not the closing down of factories and the disruption of business and industry." In the opinion of The Manufacturers' Record, of Baltimore, the leading (Continued on page 8.) worth of agricultural products of the United States which found a market in Europe in the first 10 months of 1917, had the United States tamely submitted to Germany its insolent demand, which would have denied them access to these markets, can easily be imagined. For lack of a market much of these products would have rotted on the farms or in warehouses or been used in unprofitable ways. The crimes of Germany against the lives of American citizens and insult to our Nation's honor fully justified, in fact made impervious its nature to the protection. These figures only show a portion of the treeness material loss which would have followed America's tame submission to the war-zone decree. Our whole exports to the European nations at war with Germany amount to three and a half billion dollars a year. GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAILWAYS. Already a more efficient operation of the railways taken under control by the Government has been effected. Duplication of service, especially of passenger service, has been eliminated, with more freight traffic made possible as a consequence. The common use of terminals has avoided much delay and shipment by the most direct routes, instead of by longer routes designated by shippers or dictated by the respective railroads' interests or by the government, much time. In short, conflitting corporate interests have been all subordinated to the one national purpose of rapid and efficient moving of traffic, with the result of a distinct speeding up of freight movement. Government operations will be more economical. Much duplication required by competitive operation of the railroads is rendered unnecessary and other expenses, too, will be eliminated. Director General McAdoo has issued an order, General Order No. 5, forbidding the use of the railroad revenues for paying agents or other persons employed in any way to affect leisurance, attorneys who are not actually engaged in the performance of necessary legal work, the expenses of persons or agencies constituting associations or carriers, unless such association is approved in advance by the Director General, and pay NASHVILLE'S HAT IN THE RING NASHVILLE'S HAT IN THE RING INVITATION TO GENERAL CONFERENCE TO COME SOUTH MINISTERS ALLIANCE WORKING FOR THE MEETING A. M. E.'S HARD AT WORK. Our "that is in the ring" for the next General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to be held in 1920, was the declaration made by a number of the leading members of the A. M. E. Connection this week. They leave Tuesday for Louville to attend the Bishop's Council, where all the general members with the prominent and influential laymen will gather and where the Federated Council of Methodist Churches will hold a meeting for a whole week. It is at this meeting that Nashville proposes through the representatives to capture the General Conference for 1920. It is understood that everything possible is being done to convince the leaders in the community that Nashville is the place to be with that idea the following was taken from the Southern Christian Recorder: "The editor of the Southern Recorder and Prof. Ira T. Bryant have both said all that is necessary to be said by way of argument in favor of the next General Conference coming to Nashville. This comes simply to say that they have the backing of the Nashville Ministerial Alliance; in other words, the situation was carefully gone over and thoroughly discussed among the leaders before Mr. Bryant's article appeared. The ministers of this city chose to form a formal invitation to the General Conference Commission which meets in Louisville in February. We wish to hereby notify the other aspirants that Nashville's "hat is in the ring." If any additional argument is necessary it will be forthcoming at the proper time and place. But one or two observations will probably be in place, in order to give the members of the commission something to think about in the meantime. (1) Was there ever a time when we needed to economize more than now? Nashville is probably the most centrally located city in the connection. We will not give the members of our commission not less than Five Thousand dollars for traveling expenses alone. The various delegations will also save thousands of dollars in the same way Hance, Nashville is the logical city from an economical standpoint. (2) The General Conference has not met in the South—the real South—since 1872, forty-six years ago. Is it not time that we were bringing our great General Conference near enough to the great heart of the church, where a majority of our members reside so that a few of the plain people have the opportunity of seeing a General Conference once in a life time? We grant that many of our own southern delegations have usually preferred going North, and therefore made it appear that the South was discriminated against as a section. But there have been two principal reasons for carrying the General Conference to some northern city in the past: first, because it furnishes some southern delegate a big trip which he can afford to look forward to receiving a certain amount of freedom and enjoying a certain degree of social distinction which is not accorded in any southern city. But "his trips" have become quite common now and they do not have the same amount of attraction as they formally did. And so far as the "Northern freedom" is concerned, there is practically no difference in the treatment of nores, whether they are in the North or in the South of the country, or whether the great influx of Negroes into the North in many cases the prejudice is greater than in any place in the South. (3) The problem of accommodation is almost settled now. We have the largest colored Y. M. C. A. building in the whole country, a building which is situated in the very heart of the city, which can accommodate more than two hundred delegates. The building is less than a block of the city transfer station, the starting point for every car in the city. Besides this, we have Fisk University with its dormitory accommodations of hundreds, and the hundreds of homes usually occupied by the hundreds of medical students who will by that time of the year have departed from the city. Fisk University is situated in the center of the most exclusive colored settlement in the city of Nashville; while the homes generally occupied by the Meharry medical students are located in the poorer South Nashville section of the town Walden University and the Meharry Medical College are the centers. (4) The question of accommodation for holding the sessions of the General Conference is one of the easiest settled after all. But we will discuss that matter later. Suffice it to say that the Sunday School Union building, which will no doubt be at the disposal of the General Conference Commission, will furnish nearly all the room necessary for special offices, committees, bishops' headquarters and general departments. The bringing of the General Conference to the South will put new life into the church. It will furnish a large number of our members and especially the delegates an opportunity to see what the connection has in mind. We are in the process of thinking we think is the most complete and most imposing of any institution of its kind among Negroes the world over. By all means bring the General Conference of 1820 to Nashville. GENERAL CONFERENCE IN NASHVILLE INVITATION FROM THE MINISTERS' ALLIANCE. (By Dr. J. A. Jones.) The editor of the Southern Recorder and Prof. Ira T. Bryant have both said all that is necessary to be said by way of argument in favor of the next General Conference coming to Nashville. This comes simply to say that they have the backing of the Nashville Ministerial Alliance; in other words, the situation was carefully gone over and thoroughly discussed among the leaders before Mr. Bryant's article appeared. The ministers of this city will present a formal invitation to the General Conference Commission which meets in Louisville in February. We wish to hereby notify the other aspirants that Nashville's "that is in the ring." If any additional argument is necessary it will be forthcoming at the proper time and place.

(1) Was there ever a time when we needed to economize more than now? Nashville is probably the most centrally located city in the connection. We will save to the church our assessment. Less than Five Hundred Dollars for traveling expenses alone. The various delegations will also save thousands of dollars in the same way. Hence Nashville is the logical city from an economical standpoint. The General Conference has not met in the South—the real South since 18172, forty-six years ago. Is it now time that we were bringing our great General Conference near enough to the great heart of the church, where a majority of our members reside so that a few of the plain people as well as the higher-ups may have the opportunity of seeing a General Conference once in a life time? We grant that many of our own southern delegations have usually preferred going North, and therefore made apprehension South. We are imprisoned against a section. But there have been two principal reasons for carrying the General Conference to some northern city in the past; first because it furnished some southern delegate a big trip which he coveted very much; second, because he looked forward to receiving a certain amount of freedom and enjoying a certain degree of social distinction which is not accorded in any southern city. But "big trips" have become quite common now, and they do not have the same amount of attraction as they formally did. And so far as the "Northern freedom" is concerned there is practically no difference in the institution of Negroes whether they are in the North or in the South these days. And furthermore, since the great influx of Negroes into the North In many cases the prejudice is greater than in any place in the South. (3) The problem of accommodation is almost settled now. We have the largest colored Y. M. C. A. building in the whole country, a building which is situated in the very heart of the city, which can accommodate more than two hundred delegates. The building is less than a block of the city transfer station, the starting point for every car in the city. Besides this, we have Fisk University with its dormitory accommodations of hundreds, and the hundreds of homes usually occupied by the hundreds of public students who start time of the year have departed from the city. Fisk University is situated in the center of the most exclusive colored settlement of the city of Nashville; while the homes generally occupied by the Meharry medical students are located in the popular South Nashville section, of which Walden University and Meharry Medical College are the centers. (4) The Question of accommodation for holding the sessions of the General Conference is one of the easiest settled after all. But we will discuss that matter later. Suffice it to say that the Sunday School Union building, which will no doubt be at the disposal of the General Conference, will all room necessary for special offices, committees, bishop's headquarters and general departments. The bringing of the General Conference to the South will put new life into the church. It will furnish a large number of our members and especially the delegates an opportunity to see what the connection has here in the way of a publishing plant, which we think is the most effective housing of any institution of its kind among Negroes the world over. By all means bring the General Conference of 1920 to Nashville. Glory be, the sun rises earlier. Listen to the other fellow, then think for yourself. It does not pay to be what you are not.

C—Resolutions were adopted at the mass meeting of the colored citizens of the District of Columbia asking for the removal of Commissioner Gardner. A committee of sixty-five was appointed to present the request to the President of the United States, laying as the basis of their complaint a resolution which was adopted at the mass meeting. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the Race Congress, was designated as spokesman and the following resolution was presented: Our petitioners representing one-third the population of the District of Columbia, desire to announce our loyalty to you and to the Government of the United States, which we have shown by our words and our deeds. We feel that your public statements as to the relation of law and the government to the whole people mean in every syllable exactly what they say, and that you include in the whole people every race and blood in America. We feel that you aim to be and are the President of the entire nation, without distinction as to condition or color. It is because of these convictions on our part that we bring to your attention the recent utterances of Commissioner Gardiner before the Board of Trade of this city, in which he stated that he opposed suffrage within the District of Columbia, because our colored citizens would control politics in this city for which they were mentally and morally unfit. That this statement was false, and that it was an insult to a racial group, one of the most progressive within the United States is at once seen by its unparalleled progress in the elimination of illiteracy and in the remarkably short time in which they have accrued in this community over $50,000,000 worth of real estate. As taxpayers and good citizens we disdain the removal from office of Commissioner Gardiner because of his failure to intelligently represent this large body of citizens whom he has so malignantly and untruthfully slandered, and because he is temeramentally unfit for the high office he holds. NASH-GRAVES. Invitations are out announcing the wedding of Dr. Homer Erwin Nash of Atlanta, Ga., to Miss Marie Antionette Graves, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Antione Graves of that city. The wedding takes place Saturday, Feb. 9th, 116 Howell street, Atlanta, Ga. The happy pair is to be at home after Feb. 14th at 401 Riley street, Manhattan, Kansas. Dr. Nash is well known in this city and is a graduate of Mehryn Medical College. At present he is in the medical reserve corps of the U. S. Army with the rank of lieutenant, but as during the army he was one of Atlanta's well known practitioners. The bride-to-be comes from one of Atlanta's best families, and is said to be one of society's accomplished young women. THE PASTOR AND THE HARD WUNTER Dear Editor: Please allow space for a few words on this all important subject. Notwithstanding God has blessed me with two good churches, they look out for my welfare. Last Sunday was a bad day for preachers, the ground was covered with snow. I made a few calls among my members in Argenta, in calling upon Bro. Deacon Brown I found a few of the choir members there singing some sweet songs and when I got ready to leave they gave me $2.50, so you can see my churcher love me. But now I must do the subject. The pastor is the hard winter there is a bony sawing among some people, that is they say a preacher will not pay his debts. Did a preacher once think how a preacher is paid with a few exceptions, he is the most poorly paid man among men who labor. Mr. Critic listen, if the doctor fails to collect his bills he can not pay his drug account, if the lawyer cannot collect his fees he can not pay his debts. If the expressman cannot collect his bills he cannot feed his horse, so how do you expect a preacher to pay his bills when the church will not pay him, with a few exceptions. Every debt is more important with some churchfolks than the pastor's dues. They will pay the doctor, the lawyer, the movie ture man the jitney, the bootlegger and make the pastor last weeks they will get down on their knees and tell God to feed and clothe the pastor when he is hungry and naked. Now if you will do your duty towards him he will never get naked and hungry. Now dear Baptist readers this winter has been hard and trying. I feel that every church should set a special day and rally to pay their most worthy pastors for their labor that they might be able to meet their obligation. My churches pay me and then give me extra donations. The St. Joe Baptist Church paid me and then gave me $7.50 birthday present. Let every church hold a rally known as a relief rally that is to relieve the pastor of the awful burden that he is now worrying over, and God will bless you. Your pastor is honest, don't say he will not pay his debts, first give him a fair trial, that is first pay him. Now I hope you who read this will give it due consideration and act according. I remain yous for truth and justice, JAMES STEELE. 1200. 2 KEEPS IT OW HAND ALL THE TIME Mrs, Béouisn Says She Takes a Dose When She Feels a Gold Coming On AND THE ‘GOLD Is OFF Sure Nothing Equals Lung-Vita For Courhs and Colds * “t had been bothered very much with a cold which was very hard to get rid of,” says Mrs. Oscar Edmond- gon, whe lives at Fifty-first street and Nevada Avenue, West Nash- Ville, Tenn., im her statement iv. en January 22, 1918. “So I deciied to try Lung Vita.

In the first place as soon as you feel sick enough to take to your bed, you will have to subsist on soup in one form or another, until you regain enough strength to burst from bondage and cast 10th the evil soup. Nobody has yet been able to explain just why one cannot get a bit under the weather and still enjoy a menu with something on it beside soup. As soon as the glad tidings are spread that father is down and out, the neighbors may be seen doing high hurdles and 220 yard sprints—carrying soup to the hospital. Dozens of trenchers of smoking viands all soup. Dozens of bowls of soup, purée and cream—all soup. Soup, soup, everywhere and not a thing to eat! And yet it's a lot of fan being laid up after you are sure that nineteenth of your pains are imaginary. Those who are unfortunately so healthy that they never get up to the caress of sickbed nursing have a big treat before them. One of the biggest thrills comes after you first flop and then wait to see what effect it has upon the neighbors and upon the rest of the civilized world. Except for the soup ory—nothing doing! Having laid their soup sacrifice upon the altar of friendship, they generally sigh and depart—to stay. No really deserving person ever gets the kind of sickness that entitles him to one of those pretty colored cards that they take up by your door. No such luck! All the plebeian gets is soup in various forms, and the chances are that the doctor even conspires to come after dark so that you can't show off at all! About the time that you have managed to stand on your legs long enough to weave into a dressing gown, the door bell rings and you essay to do the honors. As you feebly swing inward with the door a friend balts, open-mouthed. In the aperture and solemnly exclaims: "Well, I thought you were sick." And then, after you have glutted yourself in the luxuries of being really "laid up," and have dressed yourself for the purpose of going downtown to pick some sympathy, you are generally met at your own door by a delivery boy with a large bowl of soup from your very next door neighbor. Knowing that said neighbor is probably looking through the curtains to see how the soup is delivered and received, you slink back, undress and go to bed again. LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE Don't be a professional mourner. Don't go around with a long face and solemn mien asking wives and mothers about how their soldier boys are being treated, and adding to their burden by talking of the horrors of the war and its dreadful possibilities. Don't boast of the fact that your boy got exempted or that your children are all girls and don't have to go to war. Look on the bright side of things. Think and talk of the wonderful opportunity these boys have who are fighting for world liberty. Realize that they are being better fed, better clothed, better trained, better taken care of than any soldiers in all the history of the world. Get hold of the fact that the dangers they face are in reality not so great as the soldiers of our own civil war faced a half century ago and that a larger per cent of them will come home well and sound than returned from that war. The Globe does not minimize the reality of the dangers they will encounter nor the sacrifices they are making. But it would emphasize the fact that we should take pride in their perform- ance and support them with courage and cheerfulness. VICTORY BREAD. Let us not get the idea that we are sacrificing anything when we make Victory bread. It is mighty eatable food. And it isn't new. Not by forty years, for one of the best bread-makers of the editor's recollection used to mix cornmeal with her "aponge" forty years ago "because it made the bread molster, kept it from drying out and gave it such a good flavor." Victory bread is good bread. Of course, now and then a bullhead will buck against it simply because he's bullhead, but that doesn't prove anything except that a bullhead is a bullhead and a slacker is a slacker. There's no sacrifice or burden about it. The bread's as good as any bread, as nourishing, as appetizing and as easy to bake. Then bake it and eat it without kicking and without imagining that you are bleeding and dying for your country. All you are doing is easy to do, ought to be done and if you don't do it there'll be trouble for you when the gobblins catch you at it. If there is anything at once ridiculous and exasperating it is to hear some person who hasn't missed a meal or suffered a hardship whine about "sacrifice". And the most ridiculous of all and about as exasperating is to hear some one deplore the ruling that he is to pass up white bread a meal or two twice a week. Bake Victory bread and be glad to get it and happy that you are permitted to help in the war. It is characteristic of every generation to take its own problems and its own notables very seriously. By way of philosophical reflection it may be recalled that Secretary Baker is not—really he is not—the first public official in history who liked his own way of doing things. Indeed, that is almost a habit. And those that are right are right, and those that are wrong are wrong. But there is no way of telling by the amount of stubbornness displayed whether the official is wrong or right. It requires the event. --- Col. Roosevelt always plays the game in full view of the crowd and is ready at all times to lay his cards upon the table. Sometimes he is rather rough and blunt, using strong language and lifting any old place that might be exposed, but he doesn't complain at blows received nor shout for quarter at any stage of the proceedings. And some newspapers still feel it necessary to insist that the changes in the war department are not at all to be considered a victory for the folks that have fought tooth and nail for reorganization. All right; it isn't worth quarreling about. But the folks that started the thing may at NASHVILLE GLOBE. FRIDAY FEBRUARY 8. 1918 least indulge in a patriotic feeling of satisfaction, may they not? One of the world's difficult things is to maintain the proper feeling of intellectual superiority when talking to a bolshevik comrade who hopes like a nimble flee from Tacitus to John Marshall and back again. Let's see; was the ground hog one of those animals that didn't consider it necessary last fall to put on his heavies? King George has accepted a Japanese field marshalship, but it is sincerely hoped that the formal investiture will not require him to have dealings with a horse. In Germany they are just now depriving the army of beer, and in England the supply of roast beef has been cut off. The real war is due to begin. Among the means of self-definition that a nation can adopt is that based on the sinking of hospital ships. Having secured his coveted place in the sun, the Kalser is beginning to cast an occasional uneasy glance at the shadow on the dial. It doesn't do any good to repeal the law of supply if the law of demand is left to operate. What the Hon. Gumshoe meant to say, perhaps, is that the colonel is the most potent reagent. The only real ground hog in exist ence, however, is the Kalser. He wants it all.

YOU CAN Bare- ly do that unless it's Quino BEST BY TEST 685 Foss Street Nashville, Tennessee DIVISION AMONG THE BAPTISTS Rev. J. P. Robinson, D. D. The Colored Baptists of America have had one memorable Convention on this Continent if they never have another. I refer to that awful Chicago Convention when the division in Baptist ranks came to the surface. I say came to the surface, because those of us who have kept up with the affairs and work of the Convention for a long time prior to the division know of the many wild murmurings and complaints and the desire of a goodly number of the messengers to change the Convention officials and elect a new set of officers. But these complaints and murmurings and the movement for a change did not take on definite shape until we met at Chicago. I do not think however that many thought that there would be far-reaching as it has not did certain of the brethren intermediate what trouble they were bringing on when they incorporated the Convention, unless it was to think that they had put one over on us. But it did not work then, has not worked since, and I am impressed with the idea that it will never work. But a division among colored Baptists in the end leads to such direful consequences. The white race will have their divisions but are long they soon heal the sores of long standing. But not so with us. And this brings me closer to the subject at issue. You have only to look into this controversy among the Colored Baptists and you will find there the likeness of what I am writing about. This division has almost caused the dissolution of our denominational work and worked such destruction as will take a long time to heal over. Many of the men now engaged in this controversy will go down to the ground by the smoke and storm which has cast a gloom over our Churchhes. But this ought not be so because division is not in accordance with the teachings of Christ, whom we profess to love. "My peace I leave with you." Not the spirit of slander and malice but the spirit of peace. But how different from Christ's teachings is this action I now write of? Satan seems to have changed the hearts of brethren and filled them with sin and shame. Many have forgot to pray. But if so let me remind them that it is the only weapon of defence. Many cannot fight the Christian's batte. But remember that prayer was the agent He used for sustenance. But prayer is the mighty weapon if we are to win in this earthly warfare. It is explicitly stated and taught in the Book of Books: Let there be no division among you. How far our boat has strayed from its moorings time alone can tell. If the Negro race stands divided it will fall. If the Negroes stand together they shall rise and great will be the destiny of such risen Negroes. It is much easier for us to do a thing when all are united than for us to do some great uplifting thing as individuals and to go up the ladder of fame one at a time, for where there is union there is strength. But division and strife is the highway to dissolution and to the place from whence no good can come. That sows division and strife will surely reap what he sow. Seed does not change germination and what soever he sow, that shall ye also reap'. Many will stumble and fall and will be the fall. Did you stop to consider what a divided Church or Christian body looks like? It is an awful sight to look at through your spiritual eyes. Baptists have no place for division except on the fundamental principles of the doctrine of the Church. And even that must not be considered until every effort has been made according to the Word of God to retain the spirit of God in dealing one with the other. Notice that every step to be taken to keep this union is written in his Word and this alone is the guide in or denomination, but it is painful every Christian to see how far Satan has allowed to come in and slay the sheep. A warning is still hung up along the way. Say, mark the man that caused disunion among you. I still maintain that there is no cause of this division except the purely satanic influence that some of our leaders have labored under. And especially would all of this division have been avoided had the Spirit of Christ prevailed. For he is not the God of confusion but the Prince of Peace. Now we may warm this old soup over and over again but we will Spiritually entrenched to will never be any better off in the matter of contention which is the real cause of the division. —People's Defender. THE DEACON. By R. B. Porter. In the last issue of the paper it will be remembered that the writer in a practical way attempted to say a few words about the pastor and churches and their relation. The fact that the deacon's office is so essential to the well being of the church, and he is so closely related to the pastor until we feel called upon to say a few words relative to this office, and offer a few suggestions respecting the class of men that should occupy it, and pointing out in a practical way the duties that are to be performed by them. Unlike some, we do not hold that cessity of the church, as a result of the office is of a divine origin, for the installing of commonism, which reason, it grew out of the temple neccondition demanded more time than the minister could afford to sacrifice from the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to serve in this capacity, hence the church was adamised by the minister to select men of certain qualification that would not reflect discredit upon the spiritual body, and whose disposition would be of such, that the work of kingdom building would not be impeded. The filling of this office by men that the churches of today insist that should be deacons, is proven to be almost a cursing and a hindrance rather than a success and a blessing to the churches and pastors whose heart runs out for the de SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNT development of the kingdom of Jesus Christ and the spread of the gospel. If the rules, and qualifications that are set forth in the Scriptures would be observed by the churches of today, many of these wicked men, who according to their fruits, are downright sinners, would be not considered by the church officially, or if when found out that the uppermost thing in their heart is to destroy and to hinder the successful reign of the God man, and to keep the power of the God in the community in an uproar, the church by the rule referred to, would rise up in its right and power and God given authority and strip such men of the garment of honor which they have so unworthily worn. The Scripture says that "Deaons should be men first of all filled with the Holy Ghost." That is to say, men who are spiritual minded, men who are willing to sacrifice any selfish end and their personal ambition in order that the man of God might succeed in the work of kingdom building. A man that is filled with the Holy Ghost as a Deacon will not undertake to step in the forefront of any church who has a pastor by his life and work has proven that his appointment is of the Holy Ghost. The Scripture says that the report of a man to fill the office of a Deacon must be honest. hTis intitself embraces several things in his life that are essential to good deaconship. No man who is honest will play double handed in the work of the church, nor will he attempt to have two faces under one hat, for the reason, his conception of the church is lofty, he regards the church as a spiritual institution, whose head is eJus Christ, and looks upon one's own self as being filled with the Holy Ghost, and reverence the pastor as the appointee by the Holy Spirit. With all of this in view, such a man would regard tricks and unhylms plan deceitfulness, and missleading, as being unholy, sinful and wicked, to much so even allow them to take a prominent place in his mind, saying nothing about his life and practice. I repeat, that the Deacon for the most part of today, are proving to be hindrance to the church rather than helpers. Blocking the way of the pastor, and making things uncomfortable for him, and bringing about a strained relation between he and the church, seems to be the dominant thought of the majority of men who fill the office of Deacons in Baptist churches. In most cases the men that the churches select for Deacons, keep their hands out of the church, clothed with some official power and this in itself brings out the various kinds of meat that goes to make up their disposition. Over looking the fact that he is supposed to be filled with the Holy Ghost, he pounces immediately upon the man that has been appoint PREPARE FOR OLD AGE while you are young and vigorous.

ONE CENT SAVINGS BANK, Nashville, Tenn. ed by the Holy Ghost, and through his substitutive deception and craftiness heat once set himself to the task to beguile as did the serpent Eve, the members of the church, and make them see him, as the greatest, best, and important man on the scene. He has not, the success of the church heart, he does not care whether the church ever succeeds or not. But in order to deceive and mislead the people, he gets them with him, in order that he might slay, or put in the avenue the man of the church's choice. He pretends that he is interested in the welfare and the development of the church. The fact that he is not interested in that which is uplifting and good, is brought out in the fact that he has no disposition whatever to co-operate, to be subordinate to the leader, to confer with him on things that are essential to the success of the church! But on the other hand he disregards advice, suggestion, and even recommendations from the God man into whose hands that the key of the kingdom have been intrustd, and attempts to lay propaganders which are wicked in their intents and purposes, and selfish to the core. My brethren, until the church throughout the country, shall have that high conception and observance of the Scriptural rules and qualification which are pre-requisite to Deaconship, our churches will be disturbed and kingdom building hindered. —People's Defender.

UNCLE SAM'S FIRST FUEL CONSERVATION SIGN (te pe PUGS e teen easy ie j i) io in BAD TREATMENT OF NEGROES. ‘To the Editor of the Sanner: It is often asked why so many Ne ‘groes are leaving the South, and why so many are preparing to go after ‘the cold weather is gone. I have paren, here fifty-three years, and | know just what I am saying to be the truth and I am known here by ‘both white and black, and 1 have tried to make a good citizen, and ir ‘I have not I have fooled more than you. I have fooled myself. In the first place, the Negroes are mis- ‘treated in most every way that treat: ment comes to one. Just last Mon- day evening about 3 o'clock, on the Hillsboro car line about one mule from Vanderbilt, I had been to hau some coal to a Mr, Hester, and on my way back driving slowly ‘and on the right-hand side of the road close to the curbing, I heard some one whis- tle behind me, and whistled again. I did not look back, but kept driv- ing. Soon they caught up with me and who was It? A nicely dressed young white man with five or six young women riding in a sleigh, driving a pair of fine horses, with bells jingling. ‘That man whipped me all over my head and eyes with his buggy whip because I did not pull out and give him the road, so that he would not have to get in the car tracks. ‘Then another ume on Fourth ave- nue, when the streets were crowded and jammed, a policeman ordered ne to move on and when 1 could not for the jam, he called me bad names and said if 1 did not move on he Would beat my brains out with his club. Several white persons heard him, and one white gentleman said, “You ought to report him, That is & shame for an officer.” Such treatments are common among our race, but we cannot strike back. Why? Because the courts, jails, prison houses and the ropes are yours. Then see the jim-crow treatment. But that is the law, and all of these other mistreatments are laws of com: ‘mon custom, and the Negro, like all other dogs, is looking for some place where he ‘can get better treatment and a square deal; get better wages that he may be more able to support himself and his family, pay his hon- est debts, educate his children and make good, peaceable, law-abiding citizens, The thing we need most is not so much religion in our land and coun- try, but more Christianity. Do to others as we would have them do to us, Hf our great preachers and churches will do this and work as hard and faithfully for this as they @id to abolish the saloon and lquor traffic, we surely will have a better land and country. ‘The great evangelist, Billy Sunday, who travels the world over and speaks to the thousands, I have been reading after him fon years, yet 1 have never heard of him preaching this doctrine, and I know he has heard of our treatment in this land and country, But this must be done and will be done. ‘The God of heaven will havea man todo it. Yes, we are patiently awiting, Saul didn't stone Stephen to death; he only held the young men's clothes. ‘The Christian People don't mob and mistreat us; they only hold their tongues.

And to our surprise he had treed a coon up a cotton stalk, He went for his gun and on his way back he saw a rattle snake, he heard 4 noise, looked up and saw a drove of wild ducks, and while looking up he saw atree full of wild turkeys. ‘Then he was at a stand still what to shoot at, Finally he made up his mind to shoot at two ducks. Now look, He didn’t shoot to kill the ducks but he killed the ducks. One barrel killed the turkeys, the other barrel. killed the coon, ‘The ramrod went down the snake's throat and choked him to death, ‘The gun stock kicked Evans down and he got up and started to get an ax, He got the ax to cut the tree down to get his turkeys; he cut chip out of the tree and it was hol- low and it had honey in it and the honey began to run out of the tree; he reached back toget achurn cup to stop the hole and grabbed arabbit by the head; then he just wrang off his head and stopped the hole, told hii to get a tub to catch the honey; he stumped his toe against a jug of peach brandy and fell down and stuck his fect neh. . .

PEARL HIGH SCHOOL NOTES the reorganization of this school for the Spring semester has been completed. Some new and important changes were made both in the personnel of the teaching force and in the opening of A. Killian's two new courses of study. Miss F. A. Killian will do departmental work in English in place of Miss J. L. Childress, advanced to the position of teacher of Domestic Science in the new Pearl High School. Miss Killian makes desirable addition to the Pearl faculty. She is a teacher of experience and ability and possesses a pleasing personality. She received her education at Fisk University and Alcorn A. and M. College, from which institution she received her B. A. degree. Prof. R. E. B.attle, of the Carter School, has been assigned to the position of assistant in the Carpenter Shop to take the place of Prof. Steven B. Young, who is now at Camp Meade. The tenth and eleventh grade boys have been delighted with the opening of Course E in the vocational department, which includes forge shop practice and metal working. This is the first step toward automobile repairing. The girls of the same grades are taking Course H, which includes dress-making and millinery under Miss Ethel Jordan. Expansion in Household Science and Arts Departments Owing to the large number of girls seeking this kind of education, the classes in these departments have become so large that Superintendent J. J. Keyes found it necessary to equip two new rooms for instruction in these branches. The school is now furnished with the most modern equipment for instruction in Home Economics. No Negro high school in the South can boast of a superior equipment. Service Flag Completed: The raising of the Pearl High School Service Flag will take place Friday, Feb. 8, at 11 a.m., with appropriate exercises. The flag is a gift of the principal to the school in honor of his former pupils who are undergoing some branch of the U. S. army. The service flag was done by Miss Ethel Jordan and Elizabeth Cook. It is 2x3 feet in size and contains twenty-one stars. High School Voice Office The editor and associate officers of the Pearl High School Voice have now a neatly fitted up room, where they can transact the business of the paper. The young men deserve great praise for the creditable sheet fiction they have been able to get out since they assumed a responsibility for its publication. School Activities for the Future The principal of this school has plans for an interesting and busy semester this spring. First comes the drama, "The Trouble at Satterlee," which has been postponed from time to time on account of extreme weather and the shortage of fuel. Next, the Annual Debate, which has been on the school calendar for the past five years. The subject this year will be, "Resolved That Foreign Immigration" to the United States Should Be Further Restricted by an Educational Test." This is a very live topic at the press time owing to the great number of problems in the country during the period. The contestants are now under consideration and a selection will be made next week Concert by H. S. Graduates. Following the debate a grand musical concert will be given by the graduates of the school for the purpose of buying a stage curtain. The graduates of the school have shown a deep interest in the success of their Alma Mater and only await an opportunity to demonstrate their loyalty. As soon as good weather opens they intend to offer the public a concert that will be in all its public performances an inviting program. These events will all be given under the auspices of the Parent Teachers' Association for the benefit of the school. Visitors at Pearl This school was honored the past week with the presence of quite a number of young ladies from Fisk University. Among the visitors were Misses Josephine Williams, Nellie Williams, Beatrice Castleman, Mae Pearl Searcy and Elsie Veal. Dr G. W. Bugg, First Lieutenant Medical Reserve Corps, U. S. A. also visited the school and expressed agreeable surprise at the new and splendid equipment. The History Department. Through the efforts of the principal a strong History Course has now been introduced at Pearl, which pairedals the Course used at the Hume Fogg High School, with the adoption of the same text books. In the past the high school students have been using histories that were introduced many years ago. Now they are using the latest and best text books on history. Prof. Smith was unable to secure the adoption of Civics, which belongs to the History Course, but is not despondent over the situation.

I am not sure that I shall be able to describe the glories of the Exposition Midway. Years drop from your shoulders like magic, flee away, even you enemies appear to have a halo around their heads when you enter the midway of the county or state fair of your own home town, sighting him that three pleasant experiences experienced in past or recent years have been magnified many, many times and you will be able to comprehend the pleasures of the Zone of the Exposition held at San Francisco. The Zone covered seven city blocks and every inch was that much space of pleasure. Upon both sides of the throughfare are places of amusement, attractions large and small to lure and charm the visitor. The largest and most elaborate concession on the Exposition Grounds was "Japan Beautiful" which covered a space of about 100,000 square feet. It showed actual scenes of Japanese life in city, country and village. The entrance to this entrancing scene was an exact reproduction of 'the Great Wall' and proposed to have been reproduced for the first time outside the Oriental. Casting all cares away I rode in the aeroscope, and at a height of 265 feet above the ground, I had a bird's eye view of the Exposition Grounds, Presidio, the Pacific Ocean, Golden Gate, Oakland, Berkley and many other places. My view of these places was certainly a bird's eye view for the higher the thing went up to the smaller my eyes grew, till when it reached its greatest height, I am sure my eyes were no larger than a bird's eye and a very small bird's eye at that. The aeroscope is supposed to be the largest passenger carrying machine ever built. It weighed 700 tons, was 330 feet above the level of the sea and had a sea horizon of 200 miles. It was as tall as a building twenty-two stories high. The passenger car had two floors 38x19 feet and could seat comfortly 118. We were certainly glad to have so many girls go up with us and as we slowly climbed up the old adage that "missery loves company." We were not exactly miserable, in fact we cannot tell just how we felt, but we do know that we were glad of the other 117 persons in the car aside from ourself. The seats were arranged to give an excellent view and we took advantage of looking in all directions except downward. It took one year to construct this machine. It was the only all steel and concrete structure on the grounds, 380 tons of concrete and 320 tons of steel being used in its construction. We learned all of this before we went up. About 6,000 persons took the trip daily. The most gigantic undertaking on the grounds was an exact duplicate of the Grand Canyon the exhibit of the Sante Fe Railroad Company. It was designed to give an adequate idea of the Grand Canyon of Arizona and the result obtained was wonderful. The inventive genius of man has been developed to the highest point and during the process of development he has done some wonderful things. The things accomplished by man however, sink into insignificance, when compared with the skills of the artists from one place to another seeking pleasure and adventure discover one surprise after another. Things which tax his imagination and make it almost impossible for him to believe them real although they stand right before his eyes have been accomplished by nature. One of the most stupendous works of nature which attracts the eye of the tourist and challenges his attention and with its vast area of boiling springs, craters, ewers, etc. An exact reproduction of this Park was seen on the Zone. The effect was accomplished partly by moving pictures, plaster of paris and electrical devices. Old Faithful Inn, Golden Gate Cliff, Eagle Nest Rock, Mammoth Hot Springs, Fishing Cone, Upper Geyser Basin, Yellow Stone Lake and many other notable places were reproduced. I am sure that I shall be able to give you only a faint impression of the stupendousness and magnitude of the exhibit portraying the Bible story of the Creation as found in the first and second chapters of Genesis. In its development, electrical, mechanical and moving picture devices seem to have reached their climax. The first scene depicted showed the scene before the morning of the creation. "In the beginning God cheated the heaven and the earth, and the earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The pictures what was done on the first day, the second day, etc. You see the earth given form, you witness the formation of the sea, the dry land, the animals, the creeping things, the grass, the trees, the fows, cattle and then comes the climax: "Let us make man in our own image," and man comes forth in the glory of his physical being. Before your eyes he comes forth from the dust of the earth and God breathes into the nostrils the breath of life. "And man became a living soul." He dwelt in the Garden of Eden. You see Adam when the deep sleep fell upon him and the woman is made from his rib. Woman appears before you in all her beauty and the man appears before her as his mate. Upon leaving the mind was dazed with the stupendousness of the thing you have just seen. Every detail of the story is made vividly clear to your mind. To Bible students the spectacle was dazzling. During the rendition a famous quartet rendered "The creation" by For Indigestion, Constipation or Billiousness Just try one 50-cent bottle of LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN. A Liquid Digestive Laxative pleasant to take. Made and recommended to the public by Paris Medicine Co., manufacturers of Laxative Bromo Quinine and Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic. Hayden. To my mind "Creation" alone was worth the trip to the Pacine. There were many minor attractions of interest to the tourist. The Riding Girl rode up and down and around the side of a barrel shaped contrivance in an auto at about the rate of fifty or skity miles an hour. I saw her I realized that I was not so brave after all when I went up in the aerospace. The most wonderful painting I have ever seen was that of a woman reclining on a couch. The picture was called "Stella" and to me it was a stella accomplishment of great magnitude. The more you looked at it the more lifelike it became and it seemed at one time that I saw her breathe. As I stood there I came to the conclusion that if it was a live woman, she was the best poser I have ever seen and if she was a picture picture then she would have to take a production in existence. I read a story once of a woman who got a divore from a man because he had a picture of another woman in the house which was so very life like that she fainted every time she went into the room. To add to her suspicions the husband used to shut himself up in the room with this picture for hours at the time. The judge who tried the case decided he would have to see the picture and he was taken to the woman's house. When he had seen it he immediately gave the woman a divorce stating he would have to see the picture so life like as that in the same house with his wife. I firmly believe that picture I saw at the Exposition was the very one in question. Another beautiful painting was the Shadow of the Cross which when looked at from a certain angle shows the saviour carrying his cross to Calvary. The cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg was interesting, the scenic railway was enjoyable, the Diving Girls claimed a deal of attention, the Streets of Cairo was lovely with the Orientalists making merry with song and dance and riding their camels and donkeys. The Hawaiian Village was pretty and I gazed with interest at the infant incubators as incubators have always been associated in my mind with chickens. Toyland covered fourteen acres of playground. At Berkley we saw the Leland Stanford University, one of the wealthiest schools in the United States. Stanford stadium where games and plays are carried on. We went over from Oakland each day by ferry. The entire Pacific fleet of warships was anchored in the Frisco Bay. We visited the burned district and earthquake section. From Frisco we took the Shasta Limited for a 700 mile ride to Portland. It is said that you travel like going up the side of a wall from Oakland to Portland. We crossed the Sacramento River 18 times and passed through 14 tunnels. We saw Mt. Shasta, the highest peak on the Pacific. Saw Mt. Hood in the distance. Mailed post cards from the highest elevated post office in the United States. The Shasta Falls and Springs were the most beautiful I have ever seen. At Portland, Oregon is one of the largest and finest hotels operated by Negroes in the United States. It is owned by Will Allen, a Nashville product. This hotel has one hundred rooms, with a telephone in each room, and bath room connections. The mountain scenery in and around Portland is picturesque. We motored through the parks and magnificent drives. Leaving Portland for three nights we travelled Eastward, finally reaching Fargo, N. D., a rich farming section. From there we came through St. Paul and Minneapolis, through Chicago, then home sweet home. MR. O. D. MARCHBANK MAKING GOOD IN FLORIDA. Mr. O. M.

Feb. 7.—The last week in January was rich in in- constructive effort, helpful information and hearty cooperation among our people in Greater New York. The activities opened Sunday with a great Sunday school mass, meeting held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church under the auspices of the Sunday school of which J. W. Hunter is superintendent. The speaker was Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tennessee, Secretary of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress. Mr. Boyd's address was listened to with the closest attention by an audience of two thousand people. He told of the work which the National Baptist Publishing Board is doing for the race in a most eloquent manner. He also appealed to the Sun-siders to patronize their own publishing house and thereby make it a greater source of help than ever before. From Monday, Jan. 29, to Wednesday, the 31st, Mr. Boyd delivered lectures; in this city Monday night; Tuesday night at Newark, N. J. and Wednesday and Thursday at Philadelphia. Like Caesar of old, this young business man and religious leader "came, saw and conquered" for in this city at the conclusion of his address nine superintendents those schools were not using the title of the National Baptist Publishing House decided to send in their orders, beginning with the April issue. Mr. N. B. Dodson, superintendent of the Concord Bastist Sunday School in Brooklyn (graded), testified to the superintendents that his school kept a standing order for over 600 pieces of Literature with the National Baptist Publishing House and that that order held his orders on three; that the Literature was printed, well written and compared favorably with that of other big concerns of many more years' experience. Moreover, Mr. Dodson who is also the president of the New England Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention, comprising eight states and the District of Columbia said that he was proud to hold the National Baptist Publishing House in his school, which has been using it now more than ten years. Besides the visit of Mr. Boyd here the past week, the following named educators and social workers were present in attendance upon a three days' conference of the National Urban League; Dr. George E. Haynes; of Fisk University; Prof. John Hope of Morhoseau College; Dr. R. R. Moore of Philadelphia; Dr. Layton, Philadelphia; W. R. Conner, Cleveland, O.; W. W. Jones, Memphis, Tenn.; F. B. Washington, Detroit, Mich.; J. G. Lemon, Savannah Ga.; Mrs. Bessie Allen, Louisville KY.; A. L. Manly, Philadelphia; T Arnold Hill, Chicago; John T. Clark Pittsburgh; H.

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo urges the purchases of Liberty Loan Bonds of both the First and Second issues to hold fast to their bonds. They are the best investment in the world. The Secretary's statement was called forth by the fact that Liberty Bond holders are being approached from time to time by agents seeking to induce them to part with their Liberty Lon Bonds and take in exchange securities which in a number of cases are of a very questionable value, and was prompted by the desire to protect the bondholders against ill-advised disposition of their bonds. The Secretary expresses the hope that every purchaser of a Liberty Bond will realize that the only genuine help that he gives his Government is keeping his bond as an investment so long as it is possible for him to do so. He states, however, that no just objection lies to the sale of a Liberty Bond where real needs sity exists for its sale. THE COLORED AMERICAN CITIZENS. Americans of every section of every country have received the wealth of their country "Twelve million colored people have rallied to the defense of their country in this crisis, and will do their full share in helping to win this world war for democracy." Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, successor to Booker T. Washington in that office, said recently in an address at the Twenty-seventh Tuskegee Conference. The colored American citizen will do their part in producing footwear on the farm, in conserving food in the home, and in fighting in the trenches in Europe, said Dr. Moto, and in addition the colored ministry and the colored teachers will reach and teach thrift among their race. It has been impossible to obtain figures on the amount of Liberty Loan bonds purchased by colored Americans in the first and second loans, but it is known that according to their means and ability the colored race were very loyal and active and most liberal subscribers to the loan INSURANCE WEEK The week beginning February 3 is to be made "Insurance Week" throughout the military and naval camps of the Nation, and a great drive will be made to make the American fighting forces 100 per cent insured. Not only will every soldier and sailor who has not taken out insurance be urged to do so, but those who have taken out less than ten thousand will be urged to increase their insurance to the maximum. The efforts of the Treasury Department in the past have been met with great success and insurance totals increase at a remarkable rate. At the close of business January 24 applications for $4,486,986,500 of insurance had been received by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance representing 550,492 men in the service, with the average insurance applied for of $8,488. At the time of the average of insurance written has exceeded $100,000,000. The automatic insurance offered by the law expires on February 12. It is the earnest desire of the Treasury that by that date every member of the military and naval forces of the United States shall have taken advantage of what Secretary McAdoo calls the most just and humane provision ever made by any Government for its soldiers and sailors. SOLDIER AND SAILOR INSURANCE There are over 1,000,000 men in the Army and Navy of the United States who must decide before February 12 whether they want the protection of a $10,000 insurance policy in the strongest and largest insurance company in the world, the United States Government. This offer is made by the Government in addition to provision for better pay for soldiers and sailors than any other Government is able to make, and in addition to provision for allotments and allowances to enable men to take care of their families and dependents. It is voluntary, however, and no man can take it who does not want it. It would seem to an ordinary business man, however, that any one engaged in the extra hazardous undertaking of war was a fool not to take all the insurance he could afford to buy. The Government offers this insurance at such low rates that even the private who gets $30 a month can afford to take the maximum policy of $10,000 allowed. It will cost a man under 30 years of age not over $8.50 a month, which can be deducted from his pay if he so directs. The families and dependents of every man in the Army and Navy also are interested in this insurance and should see that they have its protec- tion as his beneficiary in case of his death. Relatives may wisely offer to help pay the premiums and urge their fathers, sons, or brothers in the Army and Navy to take the insurance with their help if necessary. The strongest reason, however, for every man taking this insurance who can get it is that in addition to the insurance in the event of his death, it protects him in case of his permanent and total disability, and whether injured or not he may become uninsurable by reason of his military service and not be able to get insurance later when he marries or has dependents for whom he wants to provide. A $10,000 policy means $57.50 per month for life paid to any holder who permanently and totally disabled. No insurance has ever been made by any government, but the offer expires on February 12, for men who were in service on October 15, 1917. Action should be prompt on the part of the soldiers and sailors in taking out insurance, and of their relatives in urging them to do so. METOKA AND GALEDA CLASSES OF THE MT. NEBO BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL. The Metoka and Galeda Classes of the Mt. Nebo Baptist Sunday School met in a joint meeting Monday evening, February 4th at 7:30 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. Francis Perkins on Twenty-seventh Ave., N. The meeting was opened by singing, "Yield not to temptation" etc. Prayer was offered by Rev. H. A. Alfred after which "Fade, fade" etc. was sung, led by Mrs. Lena E. Thomas. The lesson was very interestingly taught twenty minutes by Rev. H. A. Alfred, at the close of his discourse the roll was called. Dues collected, about twenty responded to the roll. Much interest is felt in the lesson "Bazaar" which will be given in the near future under the auspices of the Galeda Class. The date will be announced later. All of the friends and members are cordially asked to unite and make this a crowning success. On Sunday, February 24th at 3:00 p.m. in the auditorium of the church all of the officers of the Sunday school including also the Metoka and Galeda officers will be installed, a nice program is being prepared. The public is invited. At the close of all business the meeting was adjourned over to the hostess who a very humbling number serves a delicious two course menu. The classes adjourned to meet Monday, February 18, at 7:30 p.m. m. at the home of Mrs. Matthew Tucker, 2516 Batavia Street. Mr. Wilson As a War President Mr. Wilson As a War President (Continued from page 1.) journalistic spokesman of Southern industry, the retention of Secretary Baker would be a "calamity." because "every day he stays at the head of the War Department he is endangering our ability to win the war." "There has been too much strain on the present war-machinery in Washington," declares the Cincinnati Times-Star (Rep.), a paper owned by a brother of ex-President Taft. And it adds: "England and France have obliterated party lines in their prosecution of the war. Shall we be content with muddling through because of past political distinctions?" The American people, remarks the Providence Journal (Ind.), "are not responsible for the persecution that exists at their seat of government," for "they have done everything they have been asked to do, and are ready to do everything that can be asked of them." But— "They are not willing to be sacrificed to Government inefficiency. There must be a change, and it is plain that there can be no change from nerveless methods without a change of men." This critical attitude which a considerable section of the press is manifesting toward some of the President's assistants, and particularly toward Secretary Baker, meets with lit the sympathy from the President himself. Last week he told Representatives and Senators that our war record had been extraordinary and that it would result in plaining byDEX午 two weeks the number of American fighters originally planned. And in a published reply to Senator Chamberlain's charge that our military establishment has fallen down" and "almost stopt functioning," he says: "Senator Chamberlain's statement as to the present inaction and ineffectiveness of the Government is an astonishing and absolutely unjustifiable distortion of the truth. As a matter of fact, the War Department has performed a task of unparalleled magnitude and difficulty with extraordinary promptness and efficiency. "There have been delays and disappointments and partial miscarriages of plan, all of which have been drawn into the foreground and exaggerated by the investigations which have been in progress since the Congress assembled—investigations which drew indispensable officials from their commands and contributed a great deal to the confusion as had instantly arisen. But by comparison with what has been accomplished, these things, much as they were to be regretted, were insignificant, and no mistake has been made which has been repeated. "Nothing helpful or likely to speed or facilitate the war-tasks of the Government has come out of such criticism and investigation. I understand that reorganizations by legislation are to be proposed—I have not been consulted about them and have learned of them only at second hand—but their proposal came after effective measures or reorganization had been thoughtfully and maturely perfected, and inasmuch as these measures have been the result of experience, they are much more likely than any other to be effective, if the Congress will but remove the few statutory obstacles of rigid departmental organization which stand in their way. "The legislative proposal I have heard of would involve long additional delays and turn our experience into mere lost motion. My association and constant conference with the Secretary of War have taught me to regard his a one of the ablest public officials I have ever known. The country will soon learn whether he or his critics under stand the business in hand." The proposed 'reorganization by legislation to make the office responsible for the bill to create a Direc tor of Munitions and a War Cabinet. Senator Chamberlain replied: "Secretary Baker's efforts to better his organization have my utmost approval. He has made much improvement. But the inherent weakness of his reorganization is that nobody between the Army and the President has legal authority. There are the Council of National Defense, the War-Industries Board, and the Clearance Committee—all purely voluntary organizations between the President and the Army. The War-Industries Board would be created by law with definite legal powers and duties respectively, to map out and direct war-policies and to have charge of war-supplies. By this plan we would substitute a strong for the only weak link in the chain of organization." This controversy, thinks the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.), "is unfortunate from every point of view"; and the Newark News (Ind.), declares that "the country trusts the President," and "when he asks for changes in system it will be time enough to make them." But the New York Times the other hand, thinks rather optimistically that "the more we fight at Washington the better we shall fight in France"; and it goes on to say: "Ours is not a Government that falls." To a speech or vote of want of confidence it replies with a statement. It may reply with a trumpet-blast of defiance; it may wave criticism aside, demur, deny and set up the defense of due and perfect performance. But with whatever warmth of language it may express any other may publicly repel attacks, it will in private diligently profit by them and mightily stir itself to make amends for past shortcomings. The President's problem is thus strikingly stated by Garet Garrett in a Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune: "This country suddenly finds itself the principal partner in a world-war with a pattern of executive government and a theory of the President's job that have survived almost unaltered from a time when the whole American population was less than that of New York City and the iron industry was seated in the bogs of what now is an abandoned part of New Jersey. The Mayoralty of New York City now is a bigger job than the President's was when created. In Great Britain the President's job would be, not one, but six at least, namely— "King, Prime Minister. "Commander-in-Chief of the Army. "Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. "Party Leader. "Economic Dictator. "No superman would be equal to it." "The President's job is of preposterous complexity and magnitude." "It will be said that the President should delegate his power, as of course he may, but the task of creating an organization upon which all at once to confer enormously increased powers and of devising the more technique of its distribution is alone a task of immense difficulty." "More has been expected of Mr. Wilson than of any being before. This war is the biggest thing man ever attempted. It has made him the executive of the world." The President's unsolved problem is how to mobilize the executive genius of America and unload upon it responsibilities which ought not to be his—" Literary Digest, Feb. 2nd. FLAT ROCK NOTES Prof. W.

A MESSAGE TO THE BAPTISTS IN GENERAL AND MINISTERS IN PARTICLAR OF ARKANSAS. To our mind there is always a pardonable apology for those who manifest their pride and demonstrate their enthusiasm even to an immoderate degree at the success of great and ennobling enterprises with which they are vitally associated and in the interest of which they have lent their best efforts. The Arkansas Baptists as much as the Baptists of any state, hath placed their financial moral, mental and spiritual shoulders to the d wheel that hath roled in the hands of the Baptist of the Nation Seminary proeptery, and rejoice to the overflow that they have taken part and will continue push until the doors of this school are open to the great needs of our ministry. Let the ministers of Arkansas remember that the National Convention did not raise enough money to close the deal, therefore it had to be borrowed. The appeal comes from the old sage, Dr. Boyd, and the management for help. The editor of the People's Defender would suggest that the Baptists of Arkansas have a large part in this foundation work, for a better prepared ministry, for the spread of the gospel, for the upbuild of the kingdom of grace. He would further suggest that by proclamation of the president of the Baptist State Progressive Convention, a day be set and every minister in the state who wishes to assist in building a great school for our ministry, be asked to send one dollar for himself and one dollar for his church to the treasurer of the State Convention to be sent by him to the credit of Arkansas to the National Seminary Board. By so doing $200.00 can easily be sent from this end of the line. The People's Defender. WINDJAMISM VS. INTELLIGENT ACTIVITY—THE TWO NATIONAL CONVENTIONS, IN ACTION. For twenty years Drs. Morris, Griggs, Isaac, Stokes, Barbour, Parrish, Booker, Graham and men of their like have held the country spellbound with their matchless physical oratory. We call it physical oratory, because in many instances it was void of mental essence or ethical stamina but was constituted only of physical and vocal effort. These oratorical demonstrations coupled with senseless and selfish propagandism have held the Baptist world in their grip for almost a quarter of a century or half the days of our civil freedom. The people have looked to them for the development of the business of the denomination. But little have they done but held in mass under their thumb within their grip, the millions of Baptists in the United States, who were struggling to go forward; but could not because of their living corps strewn in and across the passway. At Chicago the Baptists stamped and broke lose from these fossilized leaders and asserted themselves in the right directions. As a result the Theological Seminary, about which they orated for twenty years, without the accomplishment of a single thing, hath been put on sure footing, and will, perhaps in less than four years from the separation, be open in full blast to the great needs of the young ministry of the nation. Dr. Boyd, the advanced spirit of the Publishing house hath also led the van in this heavenly projects. Dr. E. P. Jones and his convention have done more in three years than Morris and his in twenty-five years. —The People's Defender. SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN BRINGS SECRETARY OF WAR BAKER TO HIS FEET. Senator Chamberlain in a well prepared masterful address before the United States Senators a few days ago, severely criticised the management of the war department, he guarded that the war preparations were being pushed along too slowly, that getting material and men to the scene of war activities were minimizing the Allies opportunity of winning an early decisive victory for world democracy, that the health of the soldiers was being neglected, that the armament in general was so deficient as to handicap and disappoint the nation at large concerning its aims at a universal peace. This speech, this criticism of Senator Chamberlain stirred up the country and especially the Democratic party who places the imputation at the door of partisan politics inspired by former president, Theodore Roosevelt; many democrats frightened almost out of their wits raw to the rescue of the war department but their efforts were so feeble until they merely aggravated the condition and the country began to grow restless, until Secretary Baker appeared before the Senate Committee and laid bare many war secrets that shed much light upon what otherwise appeared to be a dark situation. The country at large will grow more hopeful and restful and confidential because of Secretary Baker's able defense of the conduct of the war. While we are Republicans in politics yet we believe in the intelligence of the present management. People's Defender.
