THIRTEENTH ANNUAL SESSION OF SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS
Seven Thousand to be in Parade----Every Department Fully Represented----Delegates Highly Pleased With the Meetings.
Alexandria, La., June 12th—Patriotic singing and demonstration marked the opening session of the thirteenth annual Sunday School Congress which was called to order here today in the Shilion Baptist Church, representatives from twenty-six states and territories, deeply interested in Sunday school, work, are in attendance. The meeting will continue for five days, during which time consideration will be given methods for building modern Sunday schools and for doing missionary work in the various sections of the civilized world. More than twenty thousand Sunday schools are entitled to representation in this gathering, producing a denomination of two million, the number of thousand constituents. The chamber of Commerce and other city organizations joined in the invitation to bring the Sunday School Congress to this city and special privileges were accorded by the mayor as well as the county officials.
Fourteen departments are represented in the Congress. "Child Evangelismal." Every member out of every family in some Sunday school" is the slogan adopted by this gathering. Three big occasions are scheduled for the week. The first will be the big demonstration by the Boy Cadets, who are being taught military discipline under religious influence. "We are standing by the President, and we are training our boys in youth so that in case the war continues we will be fully prepared," declared Henry Allen Boyd, secretary, at the opening session of the Congress On Thursday night the organized Sunday school classes, termed Metokas and Galedas, will have association of the workers and with their bison pennants and other paraphernalia, trained by patriotic music furnished for the occasion, they will lend inspiration to the occasion. On Sunday five bison school children and school workers will form a mammoth parade. it will be "National Patriotic Day" for the Sunday School Congress. American tags will be in evidence, as each boy and girl will carry a flag in the parade. Speakers representing Food Conservation, War-Savings, Thrift Stamps and the like have already been placed on the program.
The last session was held at Nashville, Tenn., while invitations are here for 1919 session from such cities as Cincinnati, O.; Chicago, Ill.; Atlantic City, N. J.; Lexington, Ky., and Calro, Ill. The Coorgress secretary stated that it would not be known until the final board meeting where the next session would be held.
NO PRO-GERMANS HERE.
Alexandria, La, Jun, 17th—Stamp out the Pro-German spit, put an end to lawless violence and violence and lynching. Any man in this country participates in or sanctions mob violence and lynching is a Pro-German and a German spy. He is aiding and abetting the Germans' ruthless war on the civilized world. There is no room for him in this country. Any newspaper or newspaper writer who advocates or attempts to justify the un-Christian, the inhumanities of lawlessness, especially in mob violence and lynching is a German sympathizer and the Sunday School Congress forces who are standing by the President of the United States
will continue to stand until we win this war and will go on record as expressing this sentiment and will assist in pointing out to the governor and the department of justice all the characters discribed. "Give the Negro a fair chance, give him an open field and an opportunity to show his deep and unquestioned loyalty and patrolism and he will march to the very gate of Berlin, no gas fuse, no shot, or shell will keep our men away," said the Rev. Henry Allen Boyd in part at the Sunday School Congress now in session in this city, who has been making constant tours since January and who has worked incessantly for the success of the present Congress which is already assured. Rev. Mr. Boyd has already made two visits to Alexandra this year, and this marks his third appearance here for the year. It was noticed that while he is the most talked-of Sunday school man in the city, he does not appear on the program, but depends his time in personally seeing to it that the Sunday school worker is introduced on to the other, and that he gets to shake the hands of those who have struggled in the past in the Sunday school work. Rev. H. A. Boyd, the Front-line Sunday school apostle, as he is termed, is making the Sunday School Congress the most potent factor in bringing about modern Sun day school methods that the country has seen
STATE DELEGATIONS AT THE
CONGRESS
Alexandria, La., June 13th.—Several states have sent unusually large delegations to the thirteenth annual session of the Sunday School Congress now in session in this city. As was expected, Texas, the Lone Star State, is claiming the banner. It is understood, however, that Louisiana, the state in which the meeting is being held, is eliminated from the attendance contest, but among the big delegations from the various states and from cities that have attracted much attention is the delegation from the Blue Grass State. Kentucky has maintained a splendid record. Then the Buckeye State, Ohio, is here with ardent Sunday school workers. Illinois with Chicago, in point of cities out of her state, has placed itself squarely upon the map, while Georgia has supported the most ardent supporters. The Old Volunteer State, Tennessee, the home of the Congress officials, kept her record in her special delegation that arrived on schedule time, while the Crescent City, the metropolis of Louisiana, New Orleans, takes off the banner for having the largest delegation from any one city in the United States; yet Shreveport and Monroe hailing from the same city, give her a close race. Arkansas, give her a close train pass which they most of the surprises of the year by the size of her delegation in the state on the map it is not to be understood that Mississippi, the Delta State, will be overlooked, nor that Alabama will be left off the map, while Florida comes up with a splendid representation. The Carolinas and Virginias are here. In fact, the Congress Secretary's enrollment shows that this is about a cosmopolitan a delegation of Sunday school workers as has ever assembled, and the state delegations came up to the highest point in numbers.
PATRIOTIC PARADE
Alexandria, La., June 13th—Ever since the arrival of the Congress of officials and delegates extensive preparations have been made for a patriotic parade Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, when it is expected that seven thousand Sunday school workers will parade the streets of this city, carrying national colors and huge signs bearing religious and patriotic inscriptions with Sunday School Congress pennants and great American flags. The parade will be led by Congress officials, Congress delegates, Sunday schools and visitors. The citizens of this city have already shown their interest in the approaching meeting by the liberality with which they have joined in making arrangements for the coming event. The line of march will be formed at the Shiloh Baptist Church and will traverse the principal thoroughfares of Alexandria. Reviewing stands have been erected at several points in order that the distinguished guests might view the parade. The Boy Cadets will lead, follo-
SUNDAY SCHOOL MISSIONARY
MASS MEETING
Alexandria, La., June 13th—No meeting scheduled in this city is more talked about than the Sunday School Congress now in session. For months Alexandria has looked forward to the coming of this gathering of Sunday school workers. One of the main features, and perhaps one of the greatest attractions, is the Sunday school mass meeting to be held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon, at which the principal talk of the week will be made. The national prize banner for Sunday school endeavors and activities will be awarded. It is understood that among the speakers to be heard on the occasion will be made a host, a representative, by Oklahoma City, Okla., who has been making patriotic addresses throughout the country under the auspices of the United States Government. The result of the frontline Sunday school building that has been in progress since the last season of the Congress will be announced at the afternoon meeting, and each state will be seated in the hall under its own banner, while the Sunday schools of Alexandria will be designated as the city schools.
EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETS
Alexandria, La., June 13th.—President E. P. Jones, of the National Baptist Convention called the Executive Committee of his Convention to order here yesterday pursuant to a notice that had already been sent out. Quite a delegation was in attendance. It is understood that matters of vital importance touching the denomination were taken up for consideration. They are to be in session, it is understood, throughout the week. Among the matters to come before the body will be a recommendation touching the report of the committee that was appointed and met a like body from two other Baptist organizations at Memphis, Tenn., sometime ago. Dr. C. P. Madison, secretary of the convention from Norfolk, Va., who is acting as secretary of the Board, said there were no important announcements to be given out at this writing.
ORGANIZED CLASS DEMONSTRA TION.
Alexandria La., June 13th—Plans are complete for the big class demonstration among the Metokas and Galedias to be held here Friday night. The director of the Metokas, Dr Reddick, of Atlanta, Ga., and the directress of the Galedias, Mrs. L. B Fouse, of Lexington, Ky., are both here, and together with the local forces they will pull off their usual demonstration which is to be followed by a banquet given by the local organization. The Metokas and Galedias at the Congress are distinctions gushed about paraphernulae consisting of huge pins and gold pins. Their departmental meetings are abrad. attraction. great
CONFERENCE OF CONDUCTORS
A veritable conference among the departmental conductors at this summer Sunday school of methods is one of the reasons advanced for its success. Each day just preceding or just after the general session, every conductor is called into the conference and the plans for his or her departmental meetings are submitted by the supreme alm." declared Charn Clark. "is that the conductor shall know first, the obstacles confronting each Sunday school representative, so that he or she may be assisted to overcoming them. These departmental meetings are on the order of a covenant meeting, and if they are not helpful, then they are useless."
BOY CADET ENCAMPMENT
Alexandria, La. June 13th—Under the auspices of the National A. F. Cadets a department connected with the Sunday School Congress, the Boy Cadet Movement has been more thoroughly crystallized in the past few years, and at the Congress this session practical work is being done "Military Discipline Under Religion Under Religious Influence" is the four Influence" is the slogan of this department, according to Commanding General W. H. Crawford, whose work from headquarters reached the June before the opening of the June annual session of the Congress. Every little boy in Alexandria, who is atached to a Sunday school, or who is able to make his way to a Sunday school, has been an ardent attendant
A NEW PRESIDENT AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY
EMPLOYEES OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST PUBLISHING BOARD ORGANIZE WAR SAVINGS SOCIETY.
As an evidence of their increasing patriotism the employees of the National Baptist Publishing Board located at 523 Second Avenue, North, organized yesterday morning a War Savings Society. The organization was perfected immediately after their religious chapel services. The purpose of the organization is to encourage every employee to buy War Savings Stamps and Certificates. The society was named the R. H. Boyd War Savings Society in honor of the founder of the National Baptist Publishing Plant, who has himself made such a tremendous success in teaching Negroes thrift and economy. Mr. A. G. Price was elected president of the organization and Mrs. Cora Jordan-White, secretary. The society starts its career with a membership of over 100 and at the meeting every employee pledged himself to purchase his full share of Thrift Stamps, after which they will

Johnson is chairman. The members of the society are very enthusiastic and will hold meetings for the instruction of the people along this particular line. Prominent men will be invited to speak to the members and their friends each week. Every effort is being put forth to help the Government win this war.
for the past three weeks at some Sunday school-in order that he could be recognized in the ranks of the Boy Cadet Movement that is sweeping over the entire state.
SHREVEPORT SINGING ORGANIZATION AT THE CONGRESS
Alexandria, La., June 13th—Among the big attractions here as a special feature of the Sunda, S school Congress is the singing club that came in a body from Shreveport. This is the fourth consecutive year that the big town at the head of the Red River in North Louisiana has contributed a singing organization to the Congress. It was in Birmingham, Ala., when they made their initial bow. This year under special management they are being heard at each general session and their singing is attracting wide attention and much interest in cities in the race for the Congress but stepped aside for Alexandria be cause it was more centrally located. This singing club is to remain throughout the week, and they are to entertain the Congress Secretary at a manmoth demonstration meeting to be pulled off the latter part of the fall in their city.
MRS. BLANCHE SMITH PASSES AWAY—WAS SECRETARY OF RE LIFE CLUB.
Mrs. Blanche Smith passed away at her late residence, 636 Wetmore Street, last Wednesday night. Mrs. Smith had been sick for about seven months. She possessed many beau- tiful relationships and was of a very charitable disposition, having rend-ered many deeds of kindness to su- fering humanity.

Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, Ph. D., Unanimously Elected
The New President Emphatic on Race Questions--Tribute to Dr. Newman.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, D. C., June 10—Rev. J. Stanley Durkee, Ph. D., for many years pastor of the famous South Congregational Church of Campello, Brockton, Mass., one of New England's most influential religious organizations, was unanimously chosen as president of Howard University at a meeting of the board of trustees held on Tuesday of last week. The selection was made by a rising vote, and only the one name was offered for consideration. The merits and availability of Dr. Debbie were most eloquently presented by Dr. J. E. Moorland, International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and secretary of the special committee delegated by the board to suggest a suitable man for the headship of the University.
Dr. Stephen Morrell Newman, after a faithful service of six years, retires voluntarily from the presidency to engage in literary work. He indicates by the tender of his resignation nearly two years ago his desire to take up a less onerous task because of his advancing age. Dr. Newman was tendered a unanimous vote of thanks by the trustees for his efficient and consecrated role in behalf of the organization and fitting resolution were likewise adopted. Recently, as a testimonial of their appreciation and good will, the faculty and officers presented Dr. Newman a beautiful silver loving cup.
THE NEW PRESIDENT SOUND ON
RACE QUESTION
The new president, Dr. Durke, is an educator of ripe experience, a firm and able administrator and a man of impressive personality. He is an honor graduate of historic Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, and the degree of Doctor of Philosophy was conferred upon him by the University of Boston. He is about 50 years of age, and is in the prime of a vigorous manhood, enthusiastic in temperament, and blessed with an optimistic outlook on life. More than all else perhaps, from the viewpoint of the people he is called to serve at this time, he is absolutely sound upon all phases of the "race problem," as it is found in America. He is a native of Nova Scotia, and is a product of that sturdy stock of broad-visioned lovers of liberty and fair play, who preached and practiced the doctrine that every member of the human family is entitled to the highest possible development in education and to the enjoyment of every form of opportunity. He is a personal friend of that eminent philosopher and cosmopolitan, Dr. Frank W. Gunsulov, of Chicago, and is an exponent of the liberal tenets advanced by him on social devilies of the race that he is utterly devil by race prejudice is proven by his intimate connection with the civil rights shown toward the poor Jews, Italyans, Scandinavians and friendless immigrants who sought a foothold in this new land of promise. He has done much work for the uplift of the masses of his community, and has long evinced a deep interest in the educational and economic advancement of the colored people of the entire country. At his suggestion, his congregation has contributed liberally each year to several colored schools in the South and traveling representatives of such schools have always received a responsive hearing when they appeared before his flock. It is significant of his breadth of human fellowship that his membership is made up of all classes, including the wealthy shoe manufacturers and prosperous business forces along with the humlest working men in the mills and factories of the neighborhood—and the "mixture" inures to the Christian betterment of all concerned.
HOWARD FACES A FUTURE
BRIGHT WITH PROMISE
Through his preachments and writings, in addition to many concrete demonstrations of genuine helpfulness, Dr. Durkee has given evidence of the deepest sympathy with the ambitions, aspirations and struggles of the colored people. Coming from modest beginnings himself, he is prepared to grapple with the problems of poverty and to point with accuracy

TO GROW LONG, STRAIGHT HAIR
You Need a Real Scalp Food.
There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and give a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist, made under the supervision of an experienced pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired.
To get best results from the use of Quinade k is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oil and caprylic oil cannut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freshly and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from you from his shop or send us the price and we will send you a Write to Seeby Drug Co. 79 East 130th Street New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adv.

RED CROSS SAYS IT MAKES NO DISTINCTION AS TO COLOR OF SOLDIERS.
Serving White and Colored Men Exactly alike in War Zone Overseas and in Cantonments in this Country—Several Thousand Sweaters to Negro Draftees in Ten Days During Cold Spell.
Washington, D. C., June 12—Many inquiries are coming from the colored people of every section of the country as to what the Red Cross Society is doing to relieve the needs of the Negro soldiers in the camps and cantonments of this country and what species of aid and comfort is being given to the colored warriors who are battling on the fields of France.
The subjoined letter from Mr. Joseph R. Hamlen, of the national headquarters of the American Red Cross Society, in answer to an inquiry sent out from the office of Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, describes in somewhat detail the character of the work the organization is doing, among other things of vital importance, that the services of the Red Cross are being "rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, and without distinction." The letter of Mr. Hamlen follows:
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS: NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS,
Washington, D. C, June 5, 1918.
Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department.
Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Scott—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of May 29th, in which you ask for information as to what the Red Cross has already done in the war zone or at the cantonments of this country for the Nerro Soldiers.
We are rendering the same service to the white and colored alike.
I am glad to be given this opportunity to tell you of our work in this respect. The Red Cross is rendering the same service to colored men that it is to white troops. No distinction whatever is being made because of
the color of the enlisted men. Sweaters and other knitted goods and comforts have been distributed to white and colore dalike. Emergency supplies are furnished at the request of colored officers and to the hospitals, our men who do communication work, write letters at the request of enlisted men, without distinction because of color.
Nearly 10,000 Sweaters to Colored Draftees in Ten Days
I remember a specific instance of service rendered to a large number of enlisted men last fall. They arrived at one of the large army camps during a period of intensely cold weather. The General in command of the Division appealed to us and we were able to furnish him with 2,500 sweaters within a few hours and a total of 10,000 within ten days. Practically a.1 of the first 2,500 of these sweaters went to colored troops, and a great majority of the ten thousand went to them.
I hope you will state with as much emphasis as possible that our constant efforts in behalf of the soldiers and sailors on duty in the armed service of the United States, both of this country and in Europe, are rendered to white and colored officers and enlisted men alike, without distinction.
Very cordially yours,
(Sirned) JOSEPH R. HAMLEN, Assistant to the Vice-Chairman.
The above communication will doubtless be read with the deepest interest by the colored men and women of this country, who have been and are in perfect accord with the aims of the Red Cross Society, but who had not been informed through any reliable source as to what the organization has actually been doing to supply the colored soldiers in the army esthments. Thousands of these gallant men are under fire on the battle-fields

of France, and many more of our brave and patriotic colored Americans are in camp in our own land, preparing to join their brethren in the deadly conflict "over there."
As to the Use of Colored Red Cross Nurses
The situation with regard to the use of colored Red Cross nurses is a matter which also is now receiving the attention of the War Department. The Secretary of War, Mr. Scott advises, will soon announce through the office of the Surgeon-General, the decision with reference to the utilization of the many competent women of the race who have so cheerfully registered their willingness to aid in the winning of the war by serving as nurses in the military hospitals at home and abroad.

Dearest Papa:
On this day all soldiers in foreign service are requested and encouraged by General Pershing to write home to their nearest relatives, so I am writing to you for reason, for more than popular request. Now you are first and always in my thoughts. I do pray all the time that you do keep well, happy and able and encouraged with life. As for me you should not worry, for I am the same son I was when with you. Being so far away, I constantly feel I am not the help to you I was when I was at home with you, for that reason, I sometimes wish I was at home, but for no other.
Tell me whether you get along as well or not. I like over here fine. I feel perfectly normal, despite my being somewhere behind the firing lines. I can't see the excitement yet, but I can hear a bit of it, of the muttering of machine guns and rumbling of the cannons. It makes a real man feel the soldier that is in him, you must not think me foolish to speak the truth, but I hope to see some of

FLAG RAISED AT HADLEY'S
Under the supervision of Mr. J. M. Bend a real foreman and J. Lovell local foreman. There has just been completed in the course of constructive work at the Government Powder Plant a building by colored mechanics. This building bears a peculiar distinction in that it is the first to be completed at the plant from the foundation by colored carpenters. It was a little more than four weeks ago that this work was begun and being continued until yesterday it was finished at which time a U. S. Flag was hoisted above it. It will be known as the West Shook store and is now ready for use. The colored people are busy carrying the equipment on a choreographed but at home. Not only in a military way but mechanically as well. We are proud of this opportunity as well as others that we may have to prove our worth to this great commonwealth in which we live.

"I had asthma very bad and had to work on the front end of a car in that shape," says Mr. W. O. Clemons, who lives at 16 Main street, Nashville, Tenn. "I was taking medicine all the time, but got no permanent relief until I got Lung-Vita. It has positively cured me, however, and I know it has, for I have worked all this winter without losing any time and have had no symptoms of asthma. I even went through the bad weather we had without losing a day or even having a cold. I am gaining in flesh right along, and without saying to the man or woman who has asthma they can be cured if they will get Lung-Vita and take it according to directions." Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. (Adv.)

MT. OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
NOTES
Services at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church of which the Rev. C. H. Clark, D. D., is pastor, were very interesting Sunday morning. Beginning at 9:30 Sunday school was called to order by the Superintendent with a large number of pupils and teachers present. A very inspiring song service was conducted by the Superintendent with Miss Mary Walker at the piano. At ten o'clock the roll was called and the teachers present took charge of their classes for thirty minutes. The lesson was very interestingly taught and the classes were assembled to hear a program given by the Intermediate Department. A feature of this program was a solo by Miss Lulu. Harriet accompanied by Miss Willie the Rucker. The Sunday school choir furnished an excellent number. The lesson was reviewed by Mr. Williams. Short remarks were made by Dr. J. F. Thomas of Chicago and Hon. J. C. Napier, Ex-Register of the treasury, who were introduced to the school by the pastor. A number of visitors were present with us and

their names were presented to the school by Rev. H. A. Boyd, chairman of the Social Committee of the school. At the eleven o'clock hour an interesting sermon was preached by Dr. J. F. Thomas of Chicago, who was on his way to attend the session of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress held in Alexandria, La. this week, who invaded excuses were led by the pastor, Dr. Clint. The great Feast of the Wilderness Rally which was held last Sunday was continued and immediately after the service the roll call of the counties was made and a large number of persons who had not reported previously reported which swelled the total receipts of the rally.
A large number of the members of the Sunday school and church left Monday night for the Sunday School Congress in Alexandria. Friends were busy wishing them God speed Sunday. Among those prominently identified with the church and Sunday school effort attending the Mt. H. the Rev, and Mrs. H. A. Boyd, Superintendent of the Senior Department and Teacher and Treasurer of the Galedai class, respectively; Mr. and Mrs. G. P. Baker, Superintendent of the school and president of the Galedai class respectively; Miss N. E. King, a faithful member of the choir and secretary of the Galedai Class and Miss E. A. Battle. Miss Katie A. Boyd accompanied her father and mother. Dr. R. H. Boyd, who is the founder of the movement and to whose far sightedness the movement and success of the movement is due is also a member of the Mt. Olive Baptist Church.
The Metoka Class is regretting very much the loss of their teacher who recently gave up the class because of duties which took him out of the city. The class grew wonderfully under Dr. Shipp's regime and it was with a keen sense of loss that the superintendent of the school accepted his resignation. The Metoka class met with Mr. and Mrs. Phly Dpqlass at their home on Jackson street, Sunday afternoon. A large number of the members were present and a delicious ice course was served.

I received your letter and was glad to know all are well. I guess you have my letter by now of last week. Am so glad that Bill is coming to see you this summer. How long will he stay?
Wouldn't it be grand if it was so we could all be together? I am doing fine now. Have been in the trenches for some time. It is a great life if you don't weaken. I am now at a transfer station as I told you and will be here for some time. In fact, I would be satisfied here as long as the war lasts.
We had all of the afternoon. One of the boys that was with me out West was here His name is John Harry. Walter, the same address as mine. He wishes to be remembered to you. You may write him if you have time. He hasn't any mother, so a letter seems so much to him. The weather here is just fine.
When I got my paper to write you, and said I think I will write mother, the other boys said they were going to do the same, so here we are all sitting writing, no one saying a word, but oh, how our minds are wondering! I can just see the trees in the front yard and you and the kids looking after the young chickens. Tell grandma that I wl write her soon. Wouldn't she be surprised to receive a letter from France? I am so glad you are holding up so good. Do you worry much now? Don't worry about me at all. It is just like being over here on a pleasure trip. The guns are shooting constantly, but I am in no danger. We are seeing now what rch will spend hundreds of dollars to see after the war. We are seeing towns in which not a single house is left standing. Some of them are the finest mansions in France.

The land around me hasn't been cultivated since the war began. It has grown up in grass and weeds. It looks so strange, too, not to see any one working. Everybody is a soldier. I have learned to speak a little French but I find it very difficult to remember the meaning of words. Well, mama, as I have nothing else to tell you. I will tell you just how I am situated.
About one kilometer to my left is a shelled city (or town) of which there is not a single house left standing. To my front is a hill beautifully covered with clover and grass, minded with guns which are shooting constantly. To my right is a forest infested with birds, snakes, wild hogs and the great 369th regiment. The woods look dangerous to go through in they, but the combination is an railroad and a large field. And in the left hand corner is a beautiful graveyard. So you see just how I am situated.
My dugout is shell proof. It is nearly like a house. A nice board walk is in front. And the ones we re

WHISKEY, BRANDY GIN BASIS.
The country will not be placed on the whiskey brandy gin basis for the present at least. According to the legislation enacted early in the last session of Congress, the manufacturers of distilled liquors was discontinued, the alcohol content of brewed products was reduced to two and three-fourths per cent and the president was given authority to stop the manufacture of beer and wine when in his judgement such action should be taken. The president has made it plain that he does not intend to exercise the power given him by congress to prohibit.
It is pointed out by Mr. Hoover, the national food administrator, that the food products consumed in the manufacture of the brewery output of the country amount to about 4,000,000 bushels monthly. Before the law was enacted distillers forestalled the action of congress and manufactured large quantities for future consumption, and as a result there is a sufficient supply on hand to run the saloons for a long time to come. Hoover does not consider the possible savings of foodstuffs enough to justify the exercise of presidential power in this instance. He fears that with beer and wine suppressed the saloons which have access to the liquor in bond would run on the whiskey gin and brandy basis. Instead of selling the milder drinks, only the more intoxicating liquors would be handed over the bar.
In giving out his decision, Hoover declares that if the American people want prohibition they should provide for it by legislation "and not force the food administration to be responsible for an orgy of drunkenness." His position is that the food administration should not settle by indirection what the law making power should accomplish by legislation. The president in sustaining this view does not place himself in opposition to prohibition—ne may or he may not favor the passage of such laws. He simply holds that the conservation of food products is not sufficient grounds for executive action. It is quite evident that members of the United States Senate do not agree that incidental deleterious results he points out should be all controlling.
People who have no use for the liquor business anywhere and who believe that it should be wiped out, even now will find it difficult to give the question dispassionate consideration. However, that is the only way to reach a solution. The refusal of the government to exercise the authority conferred by congress is in a sense an administration measure part of a program adopted in an emergency. But there is nothing in the situation to interfere with the program laid down by the temperance forces of the country who seek national prohibition. That work may go on without hindrance from the administration. The states may enact prohibitive laws. And the adoption of the federal amendment will continue to be an issue before the several legislatures.
A simple operation has been discovered by which the bark can be taken out of dogs. The value of the discovery to city folks will be approximately 11, however, until somebody finds a way for removing the wheeze from phonographs.
That sub commanding was polite as all get out to Americans victims. The effect of it is all lost, however, when we reflect, that Potsdam can turn off poiteness and turn on brutality simply by pressing a button.

to the pathway that makes for progress. His term begins July 1, and he enters upon his new work with a zeal and enthusiasm that promises an era of unexamined prosperity for the race's foremost institution for the higher education of colored American youth. He was not a candidate for the Howard presidency, and it is understood that he accepts the position at a considerable personal sacrifice. He will have back of him a united faculty and student body, and the slogan will be "Howard Dillard, the executive head of the boards administering the Jeanes and Slater funds for colored schools: "Howard University is the capstone of Negro education in America—and when we say America we mean the world."
TECHNICAL TRAINING SCHOOL A
PHENOMIAL SUCCESS
The success of the school for the technical training of young colored men for war service is succeeding beyond the most sanguine expectations of those who inaugurate the stem Three hundred men of draft are some volunteers and some conscripted, are being given instruction (or wireless telegraphy), bench wood-working and electricity. The military supervision is in the hands of Capt. Jerome Lavigne, commanding officer of the technical training detachment, who is assisted by five line officers and a captain-surgeon.

The present class which entered upon the work May 15, will finish in time to allow a second class of 300 to begin July 15, and take the course prescribed, making a total of 600 for the class. The contract with the Government, through the War Department, expires September 15.
REGULAR TERM OF UNIVERSITY
BEGINS OCTOBER 2.
The university authorities wish to emphasize the fact that the regular school term will begin this year on the second of October. The occupancy of the grounds by the Government ceasing September 15, gives two full weeks in which to prepare for the regular opening of both the academic and the professional department of October 9. The buildings and campus will be placed in first class condition for the reception of the large number of students who will make up the classes for the coming year.
BRONZE BUST OF GEN. HOWARD
LOANED THE TENNISMATHE
FOUNDER.
The trustees are gratified beyond measure over the generous offer of Mrs. Elizabeth Howard Bancroft, daughter of Gen. O. O. Howard, the founder of Howard University, to loan the institution a handsome bronze bust of this great benefactor. The offer was accepted by a unanimous vote, and the illustrious figure will soon adorn a prominent niche in the stately Carnegie Library of the school.
For a full fifty years Howard University has been a center from which has radiated thousands of virile, forward-looking and supremely useful young men and women of the race. Wherever they have cast their lot, by their unusual gifts of personal character, attainments and industry they have made themselves influences for light and leading and have ennobled their surrounding by their lofty examples. Under the strong guidance of Dr. Durkee and his loyal co-workers, Howard University will take on a larger life and increased capacity for service to humanity. It is felt by all that a new period of constructive activity is at hand and that results, unprecedented in its long and illustrious history may be looked for.

THREE NEGROES KILL FIVE
GERMANS
A very interesting feature of this great world war, in which the men of every country are being called upon to make the supreme sacrifice for Democracy, is the absence, except in a very casual way, of any news relating to the part the American Negro is put in guarding of the "Democracy." It is absolutely impossible to glean a single item of interest from the papers of the city, the Nashville Banner and the American and Tennes-
OurFlag
sean, and we suppose this condition exists in all the papers throughout the south, as to just how these Negroes are acquiring themselves. We have been very patriotic as a people, first from a feeling of real patriotism and secondly because we feel that the world would be safe for democracy for one man, will be the world safe for democracy for all men; and yet we have not been sufficiently schooled in preparing for the reception of democracy as to thoroughly appreciate it when it seems to have appeared. We can not concede the fact that probably the war correspondents have become so enthused with the democracy idea that black men and red men and all other men look alike to them when the shells begin to burst and men begin to do vallantly; nor are we prepared for the time when a black man's name can appear in a print in a male's newspaper without the Negro or Negress" behind us. We are willing for Democracy to advance a pace, but just now when our sons and brothers are spilling their blood across the seas, we are perfectly willing to read of their deeds of valor and will be proud of the fact if the papers will only casually mention the fact that they are Negroes.
We are reliably informed that the wounded survivors of an Illinois regiment of Negroes sent over at the beginning of the war have been returned to an Atlantic port, blind, maimed, legged and armless. This news however has not been as yet forwarded to such leading papers as the home papers, though the men landed some time ago.
We have no doubt of the fact that our men are doing valiantly. Uncle Sam has as a part of the great army of Negroes he has recently sent abroad, representatives of the same class of men, who have been alleged in the past, to have opened fire from filmsy unprotected shacks, on posseses numbering as high as twenty or more men (innocent men in legal pursuit of an indicted criminal) who barbarism, badness and boldness have been freed from one end of this country to the other by the press whose aptness in handling guns is so well known that many of them have been shot dead on the spot, because in an argument with another man, they made a move to their pocket, for either their handkerchief or a chew of tobacco or because it the characteristic of the average young male animal, white or black, to put his hands in his pocket as he waxes warm in an argument and yin in the news reaching him, use very same material warriors are severely matriarch and docile in their attitude towards the offending Germans.
We are indebted to the Commercial Daily for an interesting item concerning the conduct of the Negro soldiers in general in France and of the bravery of three Negroes in particular. In the same article we are also enlightened as to the epidermal characteristics of the black man since his transportation abroad. The leading magazines in speaking of the average soldier have often remarked that deeds of brilliance have been done by the soldiers on French soil for the preservation of their "skins" but in this article printed the Commercial Daily in which learn with chagrin that three Negroes killed the Germans in the shell hole men needed to "save their own hides." It is to be regretted that with victory so near, because of the shortage of leather in the German empire the Negroes sent over should develop "hides" because if many of them are killed the German's may be able to remedy the shortage and greatly prolong the struggle.
About nine years ago she assisted the late Mrs. Susie Johnson in organizing what is now called the Relief Club. She afterwards became its secretary, which office she fired up to the time of her death. She was an efficient worker and a devoted member of the Mount Olive Baptist Church, from which place the funeral was held last Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. C. H. Clark, assisted by Rev. G. B. Taylor, each speaking of the lovable character of the deceased. The members of the club turned out in a body to pay their last tribute of respect. The floral designs were many and beautiful. The remains were interred in Greenwood Cemetery.
The story of the three Negres is as follows: Three Negroes finding themselves cut off from their party in No Man's Land made a dash for their trenches and came near running into a returning German raiding party of many men. They lay quietly till this trouble was past and made a dash for a nearby shell hole only to find it occupied with seven Germans. They retreated and took council among themselves. That shell hole was absolutely necessary for their safety, so they advanced and surprised the Germans killing five. Two escaped only by making it their own trenches and reported the matter. Their verity was questioned and the next night a party was sent out to investigate and found the five dead Germans just as the men had said.

RESOLUTIONS READ BEFORE
BAPTIST GATHERING BY MRS. W.
T. FRANCIS OF ST. PAUL, MINN.
Whereas, The task of making America safe for democracy involves the enforcement of the laws of justice and opportunity guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States to all American citizens without respect to race or color and Whereas, At this time, when our country is engaged in a great war, and theounded and murdered of all its inhabitants, be concentrated on the defeat of the enemy and the effort to make America and the rest of the world a better and a happier place to live in for those who sur
vive the awful carnage of hate and blood; and in view of the fact that the colored citizens of the United States have measured up equally in patroltiam with the whites at all times in the past history of this country, and in support of the government in the present war to arms—in the French, France, in Conservation, in Liberty Loans, in Red Cross, in Civilian Relief, and
Whereas, The crime of lynching and burning human beings which numbers among its victims during the past thirty years more than 2,500 Negroes—Effy-four of them women—as well as some members of the white race; a crime which can be characterized by no milder term than MURDER, deliberate and premeditated, and which is as great a barbarity as the outrages perpetrated in Turkey against the Christians and Armenians, and in Belgium and France by the Germans; a crime which not only dishonors our national government and the states within whose confines it occurs, but defies the law of God and further bases and degrades themselves, while systematically discourages the effort of the twelve million black people, 100,000 of whom are now soldiers enlisted in the defense of this government of this country to maintain the highest respect and patriotic regard for the claims of this government to democracy, justice and opportunity to all; and
Whereas, The crime of lynching, which was once confined to the south is now overleaping this erstwhile geographical boundary and spreading its tentacles to all quarters of our land, attacking the very vitals of the nation, and
Whereas, The individual states have in most instances neglected or refused to indict lynchers and enforce existing laws or to enact laws against mob violence; so that the Christian Church and others who suffer without protest and do not feel the recoil of their punishment, this evil (though they would abhor the very thought of participating in it) are by the sin of omission equally guilty with the perpetrators.
Resolved, That the women of the First Baptist and other white Baptist churches of the city of St. Paul, Minn., after listening to an address on conditions relating to the colored race in the United States delivered by Mrs. W. T. Francis, President of Everywoman Suffrage Club of St. St. Paul, in discharge of our sacred trust to spread the teachings of Hfm who enunciated the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of all men, deeply deplore this condition and protest against this now prevalent practice, and hereby record their abhorrence of the infamous crime of lynching and burning human beings of any status of society whatever of either the black or white race, and do hereby petition the President of these United States to formulate a message to the Congress now assembled at Washington urging the enactment and enforcement of definite laws against lynching, and burning of human beings by mohs within the confines of any state, and the definite punishment for the violation and disregard of such laws.
Resolved. Second that this body of Christian women invite the co-operation of sister churches that by the combined influence of the peope of God this brutal crime may be branded with the stamp of infamy and dis approval which it deserves, and the conscience of the Christian church so aroused that at this momentous period of reconstruction of our national life it will with a unity of purpose combine to set in motion the necessary counteractants of this evil and agencies of redress which will establish a superstructure of justice and protection for the lowest as well as the highest citizen under the Constitution of our land.
Resolved. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the President of the United States; a copy to each of the Senators and Congressmen from Minnesota; a copy to the Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; a copy to Miss Nannie Burroughs, Dept., for Suppression of Lynching, National Association of Colored Women and a copy matched to the minutes of this meeting.
Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Lyerson entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of Mrs. M. V. Lyerson of Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. Mary Lyerson Ewong of Indianapolis, Ind. A four course menu was served.
CARTHAGE
Rev. S. M. Wright of Nashville, preached two strong sermons at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church. The meeting was greatly enjoyed and well attended. We extend to Rev. Wright a hearty welcome any time it meets his convenience. Amount of money raised for Rev. Wright, $15.00; for visiting preacher, A. J. Leath. $7.00; total, 22.10. Mrs. Dave Allen and two daughters, Irene and Josie Eva, are at home from Nashville where the children attended the A. I. State Normal. They motored through in their car which they purchased while there in the city. Miss Alberta Sanders is going to Nashville Saturday to attend the Summer School Prof. C. E. Payne is arranging to close school on the 21st. There are a few cases of mumps here yet. Several of our boys have gone to the Training Camps, and are yet going. Prof Campbell, the principal of Lebanon Training School, with his baseball team and a concert met with much success. He was working in the interest of the Red Cross.
TULLAHOMA
There is a mode of unity that should exist between the different churches of this town for a success spiritually and financially, without the assistance of the other, and each member should be in harmony one with another. We notice that the most loyal set of members are those who are connected with the Methodist churches. When their pastors name Entertainments, Rally, Educational Day and Trustee Day, each one is up and ready. This speaks well for the leader. A good leader makes good followers. If this spirit of activity should exist with all the member of the churches of this town, each pastor could fare so much better. We are quite anxious that all the members live up and get together before the Annual Conference and the Elk River Association. And let this be their motto: "Together we stand, divided, we fall." A great gloom of sadness spread fast Saturday morning when Rev. Wen Jenkins receive

Sullivan a graduate of the Home Service Institute Course. The class will cover the regular six weeks course, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10 to 12.
On the visit here in the early Spring, of Director Joseph A. Logan, who heads the Southern Division Bureau of Civilian Relief, the work in Nashville received from him the highest prais eand commendation.
An equally high standard of attention and daily practice among the dependents of trained men, will be expected now, as at the time of Director Logan's visit.
Unaware of the privileges extended
then by the Red Cross Chapter
through its department of Home Service
and Civilian Relief, many of the
Negro families are deprived of their
just rights by others. Any righteous
cause has the right to strongly
advice and aid in holding the home
of a soldier or sailor to the standard
attained by him before enlistment.
The instruction offered in this Home
Service, for a nominal fee, will greatly
assist the scope of this department's
activities among colored people.

The following incident was retold by a manger George W. Simmons of St. Louis, on his return last month from France.
"While I was at the British front, scarcely a month ago, there occurred an incident which illustrates the manner of thing we are fighting. It was related to me by an English chaplain who was an eye-witness;
A Tommy had fallen in No Man's Land, as the attack passed on down the trench. A surgeon went to his aid; as he approached he was hailed by a German officer who was lying wounded in a shell hole about twenty feet away, who said in English: "Please, Doctor, come and tie up my shattered leg or I will bleed to death. The British soldier said; "Go ahead, Doctor, I can wait. 'So then surgeon stanched the flow of blood, bound up the German's leg and turned to Tomy, however, the German officer drew my. The moment his back was turn his pistol and shot the surgeon and killed him. No it is not blood lust which causes Germans to diregard the Geneva Cross on the brassard, always respected as non-combatant by nations at war. It is KULTUR; the scientific calculation that one surgeon means the lives of 500 soldiers saved.
When a Hun kills a stretcher bearer, he figures he has destroyed 12 fighting men. For this cause the brassard has been left oo the arms of stretcher bearers for the Red Cross. The tradition of centuries is of no avail. The Red Cross is the especial target for German alm.

The words of congratulations from the business, business houses and organizations of the city of Nashville to the representatives of the General Conference for deciding to remove their Publishing House and Church Supply House from Jackson to Nashville. The church as an organization of the business is pleased to know that it is coming to design and the business interest of the church desires co-operation with other like business interests.

Companies A and D got orders to pack up at once. Companies A and D packed up that evening and night, all their property being put on the train and at 3:30 p. m. May 30th, the troop train came from El Paso Texas to take the two companies along the Rio Grande River where the Mexican bandits are crossing the Rio Grande into the United States; but at 4:00 p. m., May 30th, Colonel Wilson Chase, commanding the 24th Infantry, wired to Washington, D.

Alexander, the iron man, was not in good trim after more than eight weeks out at target range. Watson pitched good for Company H, but Jackson, the southpaw for Company B pace was too hot of Company H. When Jackson went in the box the score was nine to one in favor of Company H in the fifth inning. Rollins, the big Swede of Co. B, is holding down third sack. This season Co. B has played two games; lost one to Co. A May 25th, but is in good hope of winning the cup again this year.
The Regimental League was postponed on account of target season, but all the companies are in camp. Purlough now Comporal Floyd D. Rollins, Company B, 24th Intranty, will send in the games weekly to the Globe.
Corporal Floyd D. Rollins was born in Tillman, Miss., Sept. 21, 1833, but spent many years of his life in Memphis, Tenn. He enlisted in the U S. Army in St. Louis, Mo., December 5, 1831. He served in the Philippine Islands and with General John J. Pershing in Mexico and is with the colors on the Mexican borders at Columbus, New Mexico.

SHELBYVILLE
Our community has been greatly stirred up over what seems to oe a cowardly assassination. Mr. John Myers when returning home, was halted by officers at Skull Camp bridge and assassinated. He was shot in the back, the weapon being a shot gun. The officers claim that Myers began the shooting and that they shot in self defense. The matter will be thoroughly investigated. There is much indignation among both white and colored. Myers lived about two hours, and named the parties who did the shooting. The funeral was attended by Revs. Gooch and McAdams from Mt. Zion. Mr. Alexander Hillman of St. Louis is here to spend a few days with his parents before leaving for the training camps. Dr. W. A. Thompson of Chattanooga came over for the Myers' funeral. Mrs. L. H. McAdams of the State Normal came out Tuesday and remained until the following Monday, when she returned for the summer school. Rev. J. H. Hillsman after a months tour for a rest. He reports progress all along the line. Childrens day was most pleasingly observed at Woodforks Chapel last Sunday. A special sermon to the children at eleven o'clock and a fine program at night were the effort. Miss. Clairbourne, Mrs. Lipscomb, and Mrs. Adams, deserve much credit for the able papers read. "The Dawn of Democracy", is the subject of Dr. W. A. Smith's discourse next Sunday. At this service they be unfolded a flag with eighteen stars in honor of the members who have ill-timed to the colors Mrs. Emma Tillman and Mr. Geo.

Nannie Eakins the head of one of our boards has been indisposed for several days. Mrs. Hattie Gardener takes great interest in the children of Woodford and is always read ydo her best to help onward the cause of the church. Dr. A. Smith leaves next Monday for Wilberforce Ohio and Indianapolis for a few days rest and recuperation. The Bedford county teachers institute will open June 17 and continue two weeks. Prof. R. F. P. Purdy is making a dignified president. In case Prof. Allen does not accept, the board might with profit make the presure incumbency permanent. There will be a large delegation from Bedford at the Normal summer school. We are glad to note this thirst for knowledge. Those who attended the commences at Nashville were amazingly delighted at what they saw. An organization is being formed which proposes to make the trip annually. Mr. I. J. Davis was among those who attended. Among the many presents received by Miss Joanna McAdams or her graduation was a gold wrist watch from her mama and a U. S. bond from her papa. Quite a number were sent from Shelbyville. Mr. Rob Lysart has returned from his trip to Nashville. Mr. Thos. Hutton has gone to Chattanooga for a brief visit. Mr. Hart is at Camp Upton in New York.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala.-Mr. Daniel W. Chase, of Washington, D.C. encloses the following as having been suggested by the Business League Boosters; "The changing world opens up on us new vistas. Negro journalism has made marked strides upward, but the strides in journalism have been far distanced by the powerful influence exerted upon the minds of the people by that gigantic organization—that solid phalanx or merchant kings and the like—THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. This league is training the race by its teaching letters in business methods, now a university. New fields are opening up, unforeseen fields, the onward march of business calls for new acutives—men and women of initiative to teach system in its broadest sense to the number of our boys and girls who must take their places in the business world, thereby gaining for themselves an economic status.
Our business men must be trained in the art of gaining and keeping customers; they must know salesmanship. Industry pays. Reconstruction readjustment after the war calls for trained men in business methods. An organization like the National Negro Business League has shown the need of accountants, business managers—men of signal ability and skill. Training draws from men the best that is in them." "Control of values is a paramount necessity in our present war, and men skilled in finance, the value of figures, in banking and banking house practices, will be in great demand. What have I learned from the weekly reading of Business League Boosters? Frankly, I answer, and you just must agree with me: EFFICIENCY IN ONE ESTABLISHMENT ENCOURAGES EFFICIENCY IN OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS.

FIRST U. S. FLAG AT FRONT
BORNE BY NEGRO TROOPS
New York, June 6.—A Negro regiment carried the first American flag to the firing line and another Negro regiment took the first New York state flag to the American front, declared Gov. Charles Whitman tonight when in dedicating the new Brooklyn Young Men's Christian Association building for colored men he paid a tribute to the courage of Negro troops.
"About a year ago," he said, "a regiment left this country about 2,000 strong for France. The men of that regiment were Negroes. It was the soldiers of that regiment—there are not two thousand of them now—who carried the first American flag to the firing line."
"It was another Negro regiment—a regiment from New York—which took the first state flag to the American front. Americans, black and white, are proud of the valour of these men"
