The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias N. A. L., S. A. E., A. A. and A. of the Jurisdiction of Tennessee hold its twentieth annual session in the city of Nashville, July 23rd to July 25th inclusive. Despite the unfavorable time for travel, high railway, etc. one hundred or more delegates journeyed to the Capital City to legislate for ten thousand Pythians in this state. It was evident early in the meeting that these sturdy delegates came for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Pythians of Tennessee.
Prominent Pythians from every section of the state were present. The following Grand Lodge Officers were present: Dr. J. P. Crawford, of Nashville, G. C.; Rev. A. N. Stevens, Jackson, G. V. C.; A. F. Shockley, Jasper, G. M. W.; J. H. Brown, Memphis, G. M. Ex.; L. Duncan, Chattanooga, G. M. A.; Dr. C. O. Hunter, Columbia, G. K. R. and S.; Dr. W. A. Thompson, Chattanooga, G. M. R.; M. V.

morning the most interesting convention ever held in this jurisdiction was called to order by the Grand Chancellor, Dr. J. P. Crawford. The morning session of the first day was given over partly to welcome addresses, but mainly to organizing the Grand Lodge which was done in a surprisingly short time through the uniting efforts of Sir A. W. Fite, who was the chairman of the Credentials Committee. Rev. W. S. Ellington, the popular pastor of the First Baptist Church in East Nashville, delivered a masterly address of welcome to the assembled knights. Rev. Ellington is actively identified with the order and is a member of Friendship Lodge No. 72. L. C. Moore of Memphis, the Grand Master of the Odd Fellows of this state was called upon to make remarks. Several interesting facts were indulged in at this session. The appointment of Committees was completed before the adjournment of the morning session.
The most interesting feature or the afternoon session was the address of the Grand Chancellor. His address demonstrated plainly his devotion to the order. His address the safety of the institution in a time war as suggested in the -address gives proof of the fact that he is ever watchful of the "safety" of a magnificent institution. But by recommending ways and means to keep Pythians "Over There" financial over here, touched the soul of every Pythian patriot. This address will go down in the annals of Pythian history as one of the most fitting and Lodge.

NASHVILLE GLOBE.
TWO CONVENTIONS MEET.
Both Report Excellent Meetings Heid and Large Delegations:
ONE AT NASHVILLE AND ONE AT CLARKSVILLE.
Saturday night, July 20, marked the closing of the most pleasing and profitable session of the Negro Baptist State Convention ever held in the history of the convention.
A large number of the delegates left Tuesday evening over the L. & N. R. R., arriving in the beautiful little city of Clarksville before dark. The good people of the city know that delegates are generally hungry when arriving, had prepared, under the able direction of Rev. M. W. Tyler, of the St. John Baptist Church, an appetizing lunch.
Regardless of the strenuous efforts on the part of the adversary, all of the messengers were provided homes, and before the convention adjourned the Baptist friends were begging for delegates.
Wednesday morning the president, Rev. B. J. Bidley, called the meeting to order and after devotions and adoption of the program, the Convention settled down to business and carried out the program beginning with a model Sunday school, which was beautifully illustrated by Mr. G. P. Baker, the superintendent of the M. P. Baker School. The importance of well-organized school and especially prepared and trained teachers and officers was deeply impressed.
The discussion of the B. Y. P. U. work was led by Rev. J. T. Tunstall, Jr. Many very interesting plans were discussed. The B. Y. P. U. work was not given the time and consideration as the Sunday school. An effort will be made to give this work more space on the next annual program.
The following officers were elected for the year: Rev. J. B. Bidley, president; Mrs. J. L. Harding, first vice president; Mr. G. P. Baker, recording secretary; Mrs. M. C. Wade, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Annie Talley, treasurer. The same Executive Board with vacancies filled, that served last year, will serve this year. A provision was made that the President of the Sunday School will be the Vice President of the B. Y. P. U., and the President of the B. Y. P. U. will be the Vice President of the Sunday School.
A Special and literary program under the direction of Prof. H. B. P. Johnson, was rendered at night, closing the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Convention.
Thursday morning was the opening of the "Parent Body" of the Convention. The devotions and praise service beginning each session were entered into by those present with an earnestness and fervor that seldom characterizes these public exercises. The President, Rev. J. L. Hardling, delivered his annual address Thursday afternoon. Every phase of the conventional work was considered and recommendations offered to burden the state work and make plans carrying on of the work. That able document will be given our readers in the next issue. The program was so amended as to have Rev. P. D. Dennis, of Guthrie, Ky, preach the doctrinal sermon Thursday night. Rev. Dennis is a forceful and eloquent speaker. He held the vast audience spellbound throughout the entire discourse. The auditorium of the large church was packed to its fullest capacity and many were forced to remain on the outside. This sermon of this able divine will long be remembered by all who heard it. Friday the different Boards made their reports which showed much progress made during the year. Friday night, Dr. C. H. Clark of Nashville preached an educational the auditorium was packed to overload on the previous nights, the auditorium was packed to overflow. Dr. Clark is an orator of no mean ability. He delivered his great message with the fervor and eloquence which characterized him and places him in a class with but few equals.
Mrs. C. J. White, of Nashville, favored the audience with a vocal selection. Mrs. White has a voice of superior quality. One having once heard her sing is ever desirous of hearing her again.
The sessions Saturday were devoted to the finishing of all business and a visit to the Clarksville Normal Saturday night a musical and literary program was rendered under the direction of Prof. Johnson. The following are the officers elected for the year: Rev. J. L. Harding, president; Rev. A. W. Porter, first vice president; Rev. M. W. Tylter, second vice president; Rev. H. M. Burns, secretary; Rev. C. H. Clark, treasurer;

Heroic Work of Women of the Race Now Being Recognized.
Washington D. C., July 22.—Special to the Nashville Globe:
Secretary of was Baker has authorized calling colored nurses into service. This is an official announcement that was sent out today which has caused the people throughout the country to rejoice as it has been the result of the successful agitation on the part of the American People everywhere, in demanding of the Administration the calling of the best nurses the world has ever known, according to tradition, back into service. It has been known for years, said one of the leading characters of the United States in a recent conference held in this city that the Negro woman has nursed the world practically all of the white children of the South, caring for them in their infancy as well as nursing the heads of the families. "It was the black mummy nurse as well as the black mummy cook that made America famous." He declared. And now that the Secretary of war has made this
Rev. P. D. Dennis, statistician; Rev. J. L. Collins, district superintendent of missions; Prof. H. P. Johnson, musical director. The Executive Board will remain the same except for vacancies filled.
The Woman's Convention was called to order Thursday by the president, Mrs. D. A. E. Ferguson. A splendid praise and echo meeting was held. The spirit of love and peace overshadowed the entire body.
After the adoption of the program, the meeting was opened for regular business. Various committees were appointed and vacancies of the program were provided for. The afternoon session adjourned to hear the address or the president, Rev. J. L. Harding, which was greatly enjoyed and highly instructive.
Rev. J. E. Elders preached an excellent sermon at night. The reports of the various officers were heard Friday. The president delivered a splendid message in the form of her annual address. It showed careful preparation and great interest in the mission work.
Saturday morning the Executive Bureau met and made the report of the Anxiliary to the Parent Body. This report showed that more than half the money raised was for educational purposes.
The following officers were elected: Mrs. D. A. A. E. Ferguson, president; Mrs. Mary Bolden, first vice president; Mrs. M. C. Wade, second vice president; Mrs. A. V. Marshall, secretary; Mrs. C. J. White, assistant secretary; Mrs. J. L. Harding, corresponding secretary; Mrs. B. C. Warfield, treasurer.
Thus closed the grandest meeting ever held by the State Convention. More money was raised, more churches and auxiliaries represented and more enthusiasm shown than ever before.

On Saturday and Sunday our crack Regimental Base Bass Team crosses bats with the All Star Team from Fort Bliss, El Paso. On Saturday, our boys lost 9 to 5, but on Sunday we came back tenaciously and won from the team of the other race by a score of 5 to 4. Both games were filled with thrills and kept one on his toes throughout. Fully 3000 interested fans witnessed the games. Our team lost Fort Bliss in short to play return games. Pvt.

ROOSEVELT
SPEAKS
At Republican State Convent on, Saratoga, N. Y.
The two prime purposes of the American people at this time, having precedence of all others, are: first to insist upon the absolute and thoroughgoing Americanization of our entire citizenship; and second, to win the war, to win it as speedily as possible, and to end it by the peace of overwhelming victory, a peace which shall guarantee to us and our Allies and to us well-behaved nations of the civilized world, lasting relief from the threat and horror of German world dominion.
As regards Americanism, we must insist that there be in this country but one Nationality, the American nationality. There must be no perpetuation in this country of separate national groups, with their separate languages and special localities to alien oversea flags. There can be no fifty-fifty Americanism in this country. There is room here only for 100 per cent Americanism, only for those who are Americans and nothing else
DR. J. P. CRAWFORD,
Of Nashville, re-elected Grand Chancellor, K. of P.'s of Tennessee.
We must have loyalty to only one flag, the American flag; and it is disloyal to the American flag to try to be loyal to any other, whether that flag is an American flag, the black and red flags which symbolize either anarchy or else treacherous hostility to all for which this nation stands. There is room in this country for but one language, the language of the Declaration of Independence, of Washington's Farewell Address and of Lincoln's Gettyburg Speech and Second inaugural; the English language. Americanism transcends every party consideration. No man who is not 100 per cent American is entitled to the support of any party which is itself entitled to be considered an "American party. We should treat as disloyal any attempt to carry water on both shoulders, to try to conciliate any half American vote here at home, or to antagonize any of our allies, or to serve Germany by seeking a peace without victory, or a peace as favorable to her as to the nations she has so brutally
statement from Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War:
Orders were issued today by the War Department to the office of the Surgeon General, which will enable colored nurses who have been registered by the American Red Cross Society, to render service for their own race in the Army. Colored nurses will be assigned to the base hospitals now established at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kansas, Camp Grant, Rockford, Illinois, Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa; Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.; Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, Ohio and Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J. At these camps a total of about 38,000 colored troops are stationed. General Pershing has been asked by cable whether the services of colored nurses can be utilized to advantage among the American Expeditionary Forces.
and unscrupulously wronged. We must set our faces like flint against all foreign racial solidarity in this country; we must treat the Hun within our gates as the worst traitor to this Republic; and we must treat agitation for a premature or inconclusive peace as treason to the Republic. The German spy, the alien enemy here at home, and the even fouler and more despicable native American who serves the alien, should be interned at hard labor—or if his office be rank he should be buried. The surest way to stop the activities of spies and plotters is to shoot every one of them who is caught in a flagrant otense.
This is one side of Americanism. The other and equally important side is to insist that every man who shows himself to be a 100 per cent American, wholehearted and single-minded in his loyalty to this country, no matter his birthplace, national orish or creed, be treated as on a full and exact equality with every other good American. The bulk of American citizens in whole or in part of German blood (and I am my own乖乖 German boy) are absolutely loyal. They have furnished as large and as gallant a proportion of the fighting men of our army and navy as any other element; and of course it is the fighting men who meet and furnish the highest test of sound American citizenship at this time. Moreover, in civil life they furnish their full proportion of the leaders in the movement to insist upon a unified, an unequalified and an undived American loyalty to our country. These men are fit to fill every civil and military position in this country, from the very highest down. It is not only an outrage, but it is deeply unpathetic and American, discriminate against any who show any weakness. We all Americans together; and we must neither permit any divided allegiance in our citizenship, nor any attempt to divide our citizenship along lines of old-world nationality, nor any attempt to discriminate between or against good Americans because of their national origin.
Americanism means that we are a nation. But it is no use to be a nation if the nation cannot defend itself, if its sons cannot and will not fight for its existence. The one task to which at this time we must all of us devote all our energies is to win this war and to win it now. We must speed up the war. We must insist upon absolute efficiency in our war activities. We must insist upon a peace conditioned upon the commerce over upon the army and the removal of all threats of German world domination. We have across the seas a most gallant American army. The do not thrill with pride as he reads of the feats of our fighting men in France. Moreover, at last, we have begun to send over enough soldiers to count for something real in the struggle. We have begun to give them some airplanes. As yet they only have what cannon we can get from the French, and we could get the army across at all only by the lavishe use of British ships. But we have seemingly made a real start in ship production and airplane production at home, and we actually have hundred thousand soldiers at the fighters' station, and this achievement to the work of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs; and we owe even more to the success of the German drive which began in March. At that time our fighting army at the front was smaller than that of Belgium and (in spite of its striking gallantry it could not (Concluded on page 4.)
TO OBSERVE
NASH. DAY.
Most Churches Close Service
Great Rally at Training
School.
BIG CHORUS WILL FURNISH
EXCELLENT MUSIC.
Sunday, July 28, will be one of the biggest days in Nashville's church history. It is to be known as "Nashville Day" at the National Baptist Theological and Training Seminary. The members of the many Baptist churches of the city are expected to be present. This is the one great Negro Baptist Theological and Training School to be owned, operated and controlled by the Negroes. The ground upon which this school stands, the beautiful buildings, and fixtures belong exclusively to the Negro Baptist. This school is supported by the Baptist family of America as it is a national institution, but because it is situated in Nashville, the citizens generally feel it their duty to make special efforts for its success.
A number of the churches will dispense with their morning and afternoon services for that day. Dr. C. H. Clark, the able pastor of Mt. Olive, will deliver a sermon at 11 o'clock and Dr. W. S. Ellington will deliver the sermon for the afternoon. Short talks will be made by other eminent speakers.
Five thousand people are expected on the grounds of the Seminary Sunday to hear what is being said and see what is being done for the Negro Baptists by the Negro Baptists. Rev. J. L. Harding, the Editorial Secretary, said, "The Negro Baptists of Nashville have not had an opportunity to see and inspect this great college building and campus, and I am confident that when they see the buildings and ground, the wonderful possibilities of the race will loom up before them and their denominational interest and racial pride will prompt every intelligent one to shoulder the responsibility willingly and cheerfully. The people will be inspired when they know that during the last four weeks a Theological and Training Institute has been conducted with fine classes each day. They had an average daily attendance of fourteen students in each class, studying theology, interpretation of the English Bible, grammar, Sunday school, Teacher-training and Christian doctrine."
Some of the best pastors in and out of the city matriculated at the opening of school.

Washington, D. C., July 24.
The longdrawn out fight for Negro nurses in the United States Army is at an end and victory is perched proudly upon the ramparts of the race. The trained nurses, number many thousand, who have been registered with the American Red Cross Society, awaiting their call to duty, are to have their chance to render the service that their patriotism and devotion to their fathers, brothers and sons have for many wearism months have impelled them to pray for, fight for and vigorously clamor for.
At six of the largest army camps in the country, where more than 38,000 colored soldiers are stationed,a goodly number of colored nurses will be assigned to care for their own kith and kin. These camps are Funston, Grant Sherman, Taylor, Dodge and Dix, and each has a well-equipped base hospital. These nurses are assigned from the registration lists of the american Red Cross Society and all applications for service of this kind should be made to the officials of that orzanization.
General Pershing has been asked if colored nurses can be utilized to advantage among the American Expeditionary Forces in France. If the answer, now expected at any time, is in the affirmative, it is expected that in the fewest of weeks, colored nurses will be found at the battle front overseas.
The announcement of the acceptance of colored nurses for army duty at the base hospitals in the camps where the largest number of colored soldiers are stationed was made by the Secretary of War on Monday, through the office of Emmett J. Scott, the over alert and highly efficient special assistant to the Secretary of War, with the co-operation of the Surgeon-General of the Army the wildest. The announcement is greeted with enthusiasm in all phases of the 12,000,000 throughout the United States, and the action of the War Department has heartened the race beyond measure for every phase of helpful activity looking toward the winning of the war.

ARMOND W. SCOTT SLATED FOR RE-ELECTION AS HEAD OF ANTLERER HERO.
As matters stand today, and as they will undoubtaedly continue up to the last week in August, the triumphant re-election of Armond W. Scott as Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order of Elks at Baltimore is a foregone conclusion. The lodges of the District of Columbia, of course are soid for him and from every section of the country the call for "Scott" is hearty and insistent. The present head of the anteletered head will be chosen by an overwhelming majority to succeed himself in the office he has administered during the past two years with credit and distinction. No more popular Grand Exalted Ruler than Scott has ever occupied the premier's chair of this splendid order.
The reason is not difficult of discernment. In the first place, Mr. Scott, while not lacking in proper dignity, is proverbial and naturally, "a good fellow." He puts on no "frills" and gives the man in humble station the same "glad hand" that is accorded the favorite of fortune. He is the same interested friend after election that he was before. He loves the contact with "the boys" and his presence everywhere has generated the highest degree of enthusiasm. At a great sacrifice he has visited more lodges than any of his predecessors, and despite the handicaps of the war period, the order has held its own in lodges gained, lodges reorganized and lodges with increased enrollment. New lodges are noted at Emporia, Kansas, and at York, Pa., and a lodge has been reorganized at Chester, Penn., all recent happenings and illustrative of conditions of growth observable in many other sections, North, South, East and West.
Last week, Grand Exalted Ruler, Scott was the guest of honor at a monster "blow-out" in New York City, and on the 19th he was tender a big reception by the order in $15 per lyn.

From the Research Laboratories o
the Dairy Div. U.S. Dept. Agri.
A serious problem is confronting
‘the ice cream manufacturers, namely
reducing the quantity of cane sugal
fused in their products in accordance
with the request of the Food Admin
istration,
‘To meet this situation, experiments
have been carried on to determine
What substitutes would satisfactorily
take the place of 50 per cent of the
cane sugar now used in ice cream.
‘The cream mixtures used in these
experiments were prepared in accord
ance with the formulas used by threc
of the largest factories in Washing
ton, D.C.
The preliminary experiments show.
ed clearly that by using 11 per cent
sugar, (5 12 pounds of sugar to 44 1-2
pounds mix, a 6 gallon mix) a very
palatable any desirable product could
be produced, It was noticed, however,
that a flat and insipid tee cream hay:
ing an undesirable texture and. body
was likely to result from the use 01
much less than 11 per cent of sugar
All experiments were carried on with
11 per cent of sugar, that proportion
being the minimum quantity for sat
isfactory vanilla to cream containing
the usual ingredients. Invert suga
syrup was compared with cane sugar
tnd the following substitutes to
cane sugar were studied: corn syrup,
corn sugit, and grain syrup. The
sweetening powe of these substances
was found to be substantially as fol
lows in ico cream:
1 pound of cane sugar equals 1
pound of invert sugar syrup.
1 pound of eane sugar equals two
Pounds of corm syrup.
1 pound of cane sugar equals
Pound two ounces of corn sugar.
1 pound of cane sugar equals 1
pound 2 ounces of grain syrup.
In vanilla ice cream these substi
tues can be used for a part of the
cane sugar but cannot entirely take
the place of the sugar because of un
desirable flavors that are impartea
Invert sugar syrup, however, can en
tirely replace cane sugar, but it is
not a substitute for it,
INVERT SUGAR SYRUP, — Invert
sugar syrup used in our experiments
is sold commercially in the form o
a non erystalizable syrup containins
about 20 per cent of water. Tt is made
from cane sugar and pound for pounc
is equal to cane sugar in sweetening
power. If, a the manufacturer
claim, 100' pounds of granulated can
sugar will produce 120 pounds of ih
vert sugar syrup, then the use of in
vert sugar syrup will result in. th
saving of @ considerable amount
cane sugar. The invert sugar syrut
we used, dissolves readily in the
cream mix and imparts a pleasant

sugar is not considered a substitute
for cane sugar. Other sugars and
syrups such as corn sugar, corn sy-
rup, and grain syrup can be used
as sugar substitutes with elther cane
sugar or invert sugar syrup.
CORN SYRUP AND CORN SUGAR.
Corn eyrup is made from corn and
contains from 15 to 20 per cent of
water. It can be used satisfactomy
to replace ay much as 50 per cent of
the cauo sugar. Thus, 50. pounds of
cane or invert sugar syrup and 100
pounds of corn syrup #8 equal to 100
pounds of cane or invert syrup. ‘This
syrup dissolves with difficulty ina
cold cream mix and ean best be added
to the cream or mix at the tne ot
pasteurization.
“C) (Cane sugar 1g used to Indécate
either cane or beet sugar.”
"Corn sugar is a coarse powdered
sugar made from corn, which dis:
‘solves easily and {8 about 80 per cent
‘us sweet as cane sugar. Some grade:
of this sugar when used in high per
centages are objgetionable because
fot the high yellow color and bitte
flavor imparted to the cream. Sat
sfactory: results were obtained trom:
‘the following combination, 50 pounds
of cane or invert sigar syrup, —5U
pounds of corn syrup and 31 34
‘Pounds of corn sugar. ‘This combina.
tion {s equal to 100 pounds of cane
sugar or Invert sugar syrup and re
‘places 50 per cent of It.
GRAIN SYRUP. Bxperlments with
grain syrup, a product made trom va
rious grains showed that its sweet
ening power was about 80 per cent
of that of cane sugar. It fs a rather
dark colored syrap with a distinet
grain flavor. It dissolves quite read
ly can be used to replace as mucn
as 20 per cent of the cane sugar. The
uuse of 20 per cent of grain syrup im-
parts a strong grain flavor to the froz
en product and gives it a slight acd
taste, Even 10 per cent of grain ay-
rup is noticeable, Some people who
have tasted Ice cream made with this
syrup preferred it to that made with
cane sugar.
‘To replace 20 per cent of the cane
sugar the following combination can
ve used, 80 pounds cane sugar or
invert siigar syrup ond $2 1-2 pounds
of grain syrup. This combination is
equal to 100 pounds of cane or invert
Sugar Syrup, |
OTHDR SYRUPS. It fs probable
that there are on the market apectally
prepared syrups which can be used
in ice cream in sufficient quantities
to result in considerable saving im
cane sugar, Some are very sweot
but have marked flavors which are
distinctly noticeable in ice cream.
The manufacturer should determine
for himself whether any of these sy-
rups can be used in his products
‘The use of substitutes for sugar in-
volves an inerease in the yplume of
the mix, therefore in order to insure
the correct percentage of fat and
inilkt solids not fat in the frozen pro:
duct, this factor should be taken in-
to account. ‘The vanilla flavor is
very” noticeably masked in using su:
gar substitutes and therefore, to give
the same amount of flavor in these
creams with sugar substitutes, the va-
nilla extract must be considerablly
increase.
When sing the combination given
in this paper, there was no diffleulty
in obtaining normal yields on freeziNg,
Before using these sugar combina:
tions on a large seale, ice cream man-
ufacturers are advised to try them
with thelr mix on a small scale to
assure themselves that the product
will be satisfactory to their trade,
In regard to the use of sugar sub:
titutes under the Federal Law, we
quote @ statement from a comminica.
eation from the Burean of Chemis:
try.
“The Bureau has recently had in
quiries from various ice cream manu-
facturers as to ils attitude towards
the substitution of various substitutes
for sugar in the manufacture of ice
cream, and the matter has been
brought up especially by Mr. A.B.
Gardiner, Jr, President of the Nation
al Association of Iee Cream Manu-
facturers. We have advised all these
correspondents that the Burean sees
no objection to the dubstitution ot
corn syrup of corn sugar for sucrose
in Jee cream provided such substi
tution fs set forth in a plain and sat
‘stactory manner in order that the
customer may understand clearly
that either com syrup or corn sugar
has been used. ‘This position is ot
course, equally applicable to other
harmless sugar substitutes, such as

please do not worry. It is my inten-

of one’s country, although ft may
not hold the Government at fault for
what individual persons or states do.
no more so than you would hold. mo

ple, would do, When you learn to
look at it this way and realize that
if we did not go to war now, sooner
or latter the Germans would invade
America and then our homes, mothers
and wives would be murdered. This
and other reasons 1s why wo are fight

Caught a Gold, Which Nearly Developed into Pneumonia
Says Lung-Vita Will Break Any Gold or Gough
"I contracted a severe cold and cough while on the front end of a street car during the sereve weather we had this winter," says Mr. W. A. E.orge, who lives at 1418 Greenwood avenue, Nashville, Tennessee in his statement given January 28, 1918. "I was in such shape that I was hardly able to work and came near having pneumonia. I tried a number of remedies and the doctor, but did not improve any until I began using Lung-Vita. In three days I felt much better, notwithstanding the fact that the weather was awful. Now the cold is broken, cough all gone, and I just feel fine. I know that Lung-Vita did the work in my case and believe it is the finest medicine in the world for coughs and colds."
Lung-Vita is sold by druggists and dealers. (Adv.)
INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY
This war is to be won not by one man or one thousand men or one million men, or one million people. It is to be won by the united efforts of the individuals of many nations. Every American citizen has an individual duty to perform, an individual share of the responsibility. The more American forces and effective the American forces and shorter will be the war, and the shorter the war the fewer lives lost, the greater the number of American soldiers who will return home victorious. Every American who economizes in consumption of material, who increases production, who saves and lends savings to the Government, does something to help win the war.
THE RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION AND THE FARMERS.
The United States Railroad Administration has established a department to be known as the agricultural section, whose particular duty will be to look after the relation between the railroads and the Department of Agriculture. Its purpose is to give all possible assistance to the agricultural development of the country. The extension work of the Department of Agriculture and the stimulation of agriculture, especially in relation to transportation, will be assisted as much as possible by the new section.
MUST INSURE SAILORS
The appearance of the German submarines in American waters has caused Secretary McAdoo to issue an order requiring all American shipowners to have insured the lives of the officers and crews of their vessels trading in Atlantic and Gulf waters. Mere fishing vessels are excepted.
Heretofore the compulsory insurance applied only to American vessels trading between the United States and various European and certain designated African ports.
The rates the Treasury charges for the insurance varies from half a cent per $100 of insurance for Atlantic coastwise trips to 15 cents per $100 for steamers crossing the war zone. More than 70,000 officers and sailors on American merchant vessels are already under the protection of the Government marine insurance.
THE SOULS OF CORPORATIONS
There is an old axiom of English law that corporations have no souls. The manner in which thousands of corporations have given their services and their means to the Liberty loan, to the Red Cross and to the Y. M. C. A., and to other National efforts during this war seems to disprove the truth of the saying.
The Congress of the United States seem to have adopted the view that a corporation may have a soul, since it has authorized national banks to contribute to the American National Red Cross out of any net profits available under the law for the declaration of dividends. The law further provides that funds so contributed shall be used by the Red Cross in furnishing voluntary aid to the sick and wounded of the combatant armies, the voluntary relief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and the relief of the suffering caused by the war to the people of the United States and their allied nations.

WHAT WILL DR. DUBOIS DO?
This is the question all Washington has been wrestling with ever since the casting of the bomb in its midst two weeks ago by the announcement that Dr. W. E. B. DpBois had been tendered a commission as a captain in the Intelligence Bureau of the War Department. This stormy meeting of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., at which the editor of the Crisis and Major J. N. Epingnarn, also of the Intelligence Bureau, were roughly denounced as "traitors to the race," etc. ad libitum, ad nausoeum.
The friends of Dr. BuBois seem to be divided into two camps, one in sating that it is his patriotic duty to accept the service in the War Department, where he will have an opportunity to fight the battles of the race on the inside, at the council table of the nation, a triumph worthy of three docades of patient waiting and arduous labor, the other, demanding that he remain at the helm of the Crisis, where he will be free and unramelled in the expression of his opinions on race questions.
Some think he can hold both places, but the militants of the Advancement Association contend that if he goes into the War Department he must, resign the editorship of The Crisis. Conservative opinion is not inclined to join in the tirade ob abuse heaped upon the head of DuBois by the radicals. It believes that DuBois should accept the commission in the army and give the government the benefit of his ripe experience and thorough knowledge of the race problem that confronts the nation on both sides of the ocean, but it is also the general belief that he should surrender the editorship of The Crisis to other hands, at least for the period of the war.
In the meantime, Dr. DuBois maintains a sphinx-like silence and is allowing the other fellows to do the worrying. The question remains "What will DuBois do?"
Wilberforce University, of which Prof. W. S. Scarborough is president, recently conferred the degree of Doctor of Law (LLD) upon Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War.

He may revive the Advocate, once a leading paper of the race.
Mr. Walter L. Cohen, of New Orleans, the leader of the stalwart republicans of the State of Louisiana, was in town Saturday, the guest of Former Governor of Louisiana, P. B. S. Pinchback and Mrs. Pinchback at their apartments, 1341 U. street. Mr. Cohen looks the picture of health and still has his leadership "on straight." He says there is to be some "big doings" in the Pelican State ere long.
Rev. Walter H. Brooks, the eloquent and scholarly pastor of the 19th Street Baptist Church, has written a stirring patriotic poem entitled "The Call to Battle," which he read to his congregation last Sunday, and which won a salve of applause at its close. Brooks says his poem is "dedicated to our great boys, who in response to the nation's, are saving our Christian homes, our Sunday schools, and the hallowed influences and activities of our churches for the realities of military life at home and abroad."

STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL AND B.
Y. P. U. CONVENTION.
The Committee on State of the Country
will follow the following for your
consideration:
The Kingdom of God is universal in doctrine, purpose and scope. It must, therefore, be spoken of in world-terms and utilized in the adjustment and settlement of universal problems. When we pray the Father to let His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven, we are petitioning Him for the universal reign of the Christ principle in the earth.
The contest for the recognition of human rights is the inevitable soul-driving after soul-freedom. From this viewpoint Baptists stand most favorable comparison. Theirs is the doctrine of soul-liberty without modifications or restrictions of any kind. We have reason to congratulate ourselves on the success of a Christian denomination with such soft ideas and that more and more the world is coming to a recognition of this principle which we advocate in such an uncompromising manner. It is significant with us that at this time, the whole world is engaged in a bloody combat for the recognition of human rights everywhere.
We desire to see the world made safe for democracy; we want democracy abroad and democracy at home. We have no grievances to file at this time: no long list of complaints to register: we have for the present lost sight of the indiscriminate legislation, the Jim-crow Car laws, the restriction and abrogation of our franchise, the unanimous disregard for our women, the well nigh universal proscription against us on account of our racial identity; indulging in the fond hope that when democracy for which we are fighting so gallantly, takes its world-strikes, we will, in common with other despised and oppressed people, be the recipients of the benefits of the world, bringing us along to the new world and the new age.
We pray not for favoritism, for special attention, nor for charitable consideration. We plead only for equality opportunity—the natural outgrowth of democracy—and for the granting of those things which we gain by actual merit.
We have never faltered nor hesitated when the flag of our country needed our aid in a struggle to maintain its honor. We have shed blood freely and copiously in all the wars of our country from the War of the Revolution to the heart-rendering massacre of our brave boys at Carrizal. We are still so devoted to the country and its flag, so determined to help sustain its honor that in two cases since the present war began, Negro soldiers have gone directly to the battlefield, and the blood relatives that had been foully murdered by a brutal mob, to the camp to fight for the freedom of their country. Such loyalty, such devotion, such heroism, the world has never witnessed. Our soldier boys are making good on European battlefields, and we venture the prophecy that when two million Negro soldiers line up on the Western Front, singing shouting and cursing and shooting, the brave Tueton will realize that his Waterloo is approaching. Before the terrific slaughter of gun and cannon fired by dauntless Negro troopers, his spirit will weaken, his flesh quiver and with faltering step and accel-
velocity, he will march to the music of the band which plays "Retreat," "mighty struggle of right against might, of reason against force, of honorable war-fare against mereless brutality, of freedom against slavery, of democracy against autocracy, let us serve faithfully and well."

"Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Doth his successive journey run, His Kingdom stretch from shore to
His Kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till Moon shall wax and wane no more.
Bv. Wm. R. Roach.
Oh God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal lives, in behalf of all those who are engaged in this bloody warfare we pray that thou wouldst visit them daily as they fight for the uplifting of righteousness and the downfall of unrighteousness. Grant unto them the full power to know that thou art God, and if God be for us, his banner o'er us, we'll sing the victor's song at last. We ask Thee, O Great God, to visit the sick, especially wounded "over there," grant that they may make to their amendments and seek forgiveness ere it be too late.
In behalf of the German Government and ruler we ask that that evil seed that was sown, germinated and has matured in his heart, do thou cut it down and plant within him the seed of peace and righteousness that he be awakened from his sinful sleep and behold his awful condition, and may he be reconciled to thee before thou shouldst call him by the voice of death. Finally, do thou listen the day when the roar of gun shall pass away and unto thee shall we extol the praise, the honor and the glory from henceforth and forevermore. Amen.
HEROISM DISPLAYED BY WILL
("BILL") JOHNSON (COLORED)
OF MURFREESBORO.
Another heroic deed to the Negro's credit was displayed by Will Johnson (colored) known as "Bill," of Murfreesboro on when Monday night, July 22, a bgi fire broke out in E. Main street (Murfreesboro). The fire was raging eastward to the prominent section of the town when the white firemen became frantic and worried down. "Bill," after shouting: "Go in this way! Go in this way!" he asked the firemen with the hose to let him have the hose. This they did and like a fearless man, Bill Murfreesboro used a few minutes he had the fire under control, saving property with a valuation that would reach in the thousands. When the Tuesday morning sun rose Bill found that a rich little sum had been contributed to him by the good people, who ac knowledged his deed of heroism.

You buy a postage stamp almost without thought. It's a habit. Then you give something for the stamp and receive service from Uncle Sam for what you give. Why not develop the habit as to war-savings stamps? You can do it just as well as not. You ought to do it. The question is, will you do it?
Ex-President Taft says it will take three years more to close the big war. Mr. Taft is by no means a pessimist. As a matter of fact he is about as cheerful a thinker as a man can be, and be sane and safe. His guess probably isn't far wrong. Brace yourself for a pull that looks lons, but which, as wars go, is going to be short.
Col Harvey is more considerate. He indignantly dismisses the contention that Henry Ford, who said he voted for Garfield at his father's direction in 1884, doesn't now remember whom he voted for. The colonel thinks that Henry Ford remembers perfectly and that Henry made the mistake and not his pa. Henry's pa had simply failed to keep up with his duty as a good republican to the extent of ascertaining that Blaine was the party's nominee that year. That
is Col. Harvey's amiable theory. quite absolves Henry.
OUR NURSES.
When Secretary Baker authorized the calling of colored nurses into the service of the country, recognizing the "Fatherhood of G dnado theabv the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man," it is plainly evident that he had the sanction of the Administration. nl fact, we hope that this is but one of the many long steps in the right direction that the Administration has decided o make to help one of the most loyal races living under the Stars and Stripes. Now that the order has gone out, we can say, "Our Nurses" without fear of successful contradiction and without feeling the humiliating strain that some have long expressed: that they were giving all their might, "doing their bit," suffering the agony of a mother and sister's love and devotion for a son or a brother Somewhere in France, or in the trenches, or perhaps lingering in some base hospital, with no opportunity to urse him back to health and vigor. The world has already acknowledged the fact that the Negro woman is a natural nurse. She is kind, affectionate, loyal, patriotic and above all, a believer in a Divine Providence and an Almighty God. It was the prayer of the Negro woman in all this country that has made conditions tolerable, and the appointment of Negro Women as nurses will meet with the approval of the civilized world. The dark races of the earth and their descendants will rise up and call the powers that be "blessed" for this delayed recognition.
JUSTICE IN WHEAT.
The food administrator, which recently, with the president's approval, defecated the efforts of congress to fix an inelastic high minimum price for wheat grower protection against unfair grading of his product, thereby the food administration gets at one of the real and legitimate grievances of the farmer.
When people talk of $2 wheat, of $2.20 wheat, the farmer knows that ordinarily he will not get that figure. The fixed price is on standard wheat and very little wheat grades up to that standard. These lower grades command proportionally lower prices. The very essence of fairness requires of course that the grading be accurate in all cases. Farmers very frequently have felt that they were being swindled by unfair grading. To give them relief from this situation, the food administration has provided that its federal grain corporation shall buy at the several primary markets all wheat offered at the fixed prices of the government. At these markets the federal grain corporation will handle such grain on a one per cent commission basis. Therefore if wheat buyers in any grower's home territory grade his product too low he may ship direct to the grain corporation at a primary market.
As the food administration points out, when a buyer raises the grade he is in effect increasing the price. When he lowers it he is in effect decreasing it. Where buying is not competitive the dealer has at least the opportunity to grade unfairly. By the food administration plan he is forced to meet competition of a federal agency which is just as much interested in giving the producer a square deal as in keeping the price down to the consumer. In order to make the plan effective the farmer has only to make use of it.
THE NEGRO MUST ASSERT
HIMSELE.
There has not been a Negro on the State Republican Executive Committee in quite a while. The late Joseph Gettle was the last black man to serve. The Negro, in proportion to his voting strength in the Republican party, deserves to fare better. There used to be Negroes on the State Committee from the following congressional districts: 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, but that was a long time ago, before the white Republican elbowed the Negro out of the way and has been very successful in keeping him out of the way. Now, since the new primary law has been enacted, the Negro should pull himself together and see where he is "at." If the Negro is to continue to vote and affiliate with the party, he should be recognized as an integral part of the organization and given a choice seat within its council. That there has been a studied effort to ignore and relegate the Negro cannot be denied, but down in the tenth congressional district the tenth congressional League and its peerless president. Hon. R. R. Church, are putting up a game fight to place the Negro back on the political blackboard from which his name has been erased. They are making a battle that should challenge the admiration of every race lover in the United States. They will win if fairness prevails in the primary. The tenth district republican vote is overwhelmingly colored and they are going to the polls Thursday to vote for Hon. R. R. Church for State Committeeman. These tenth district folks in believe fighting every inch of the way; they ask for no quarter and give none. They want only that which is theirs by divine right, no more no less. They claim they have been hewers of wood and drawers of water long enough and are now demanding part of the bake

shop. It would be well if the race in other parts of Tennessee would emulate the tenth district boys and get a move on themselves that would spell political results. It is time for the Negroes to wake up.
The Lincoln League deserves a whole garden of flowers for the magnificent manner in which they have conducted their campaign—namely, above board and courageously. They have indulged in no camouflage, no double dealing, but rather they have kept in the middle of the road of truth and righteousness, looking neither to the right nor to the left, but marching straight on towards the goal of their ambition of puttng the Hon. R. R. Church in the seat of the mighty and in the throne room of the Republican party of Tennessee, where the race will he more than credibly represented by a man who believes in doing things. The Globe anticipates that victory will set squerely upon their banner.

THE PRESIDENCY OF TURNER COLLEGE.
Dr. J. A. Jones Withdraws and Makes Statement.
Mr. Editor; Feeling that the general public is entitled to an explanation respecting the peculiar situation which still surrounds the presidency of Turner College, I desire to make a brief statement. It is generally known that I was practically "drafted" into service to again act as president of the college some few days ago. But this was done after the president-elect, Mr. B. F. Allen, of Missouri, had hesitated for nearly forty days to signify his acceptance of the position. Although I positively and repeatedly refused to allow my name to go before the board for election. I did not favor the election of Mr. Allen, because, as I stated at that time, I did not think he really understood the character of the work that he was applying for. I thought that inasmuch as he had for so long a time been accustomed to much larger work, he would grow faint-hearted from the very beginning and we might not get the best results from his labors. I voted for a cer- tainly, but he was defeated. After Prof. Ira T. Bryant, ad- ed to be in close touch with Mr. Allen, assured the board, in a speech that he (ALLEN) thoroughly under- stood the entire situation, and that he was really anxious to do some work of charity, and that Dr. W. T. Vernon had followed up this statement by a similar one, we all felt that we had the very man we were looking for.
But after he had rallied to give any satisfaction as to whether or not he would accept the position, after so many weeks, then I was again sought and pressed into service. I could no longer resist the pressure brought to bear upon me by my friends and brethren, besides numerous patrons and former students, and the white citizens of Shelbyville, all of whom seemed anxious that I return and take up the work again. How could I resist longer? After I had set to work and installed a part of my office furniture in the college, a message came from Bishop Lee, the chairman of the board, informing me that Mr. Allen was theopterologist of course, meant that my services as president were no longer expected. Mr. Allen also informed me by letter, in reply to one from me, that he would be on the grounds as soon as he could get his business in shape.
I wish to say to the public that I am no longer to be considered in any way connected with Turner College, other than as one of the members of the general board of trustees. Request Folly.
WAR CORRESPONDENT ABROAD.
From Somewhere in France Mr. William Stephenson, the Representative of the National 'Negro Press Association, who was assigned to do service over the seas and who will act as a war correspondent for the papers in the National 'Negro Press Association, has just written to Gov. Henry Allen Boyd, D. D., telling of his safe arrival. He notifies the Secretary that he is ready to begin work and the Secretary has accordingly notified the Press and they are to begin at once to syndicate news by letter and telegram. This information is based upon a statement given out officially this week.
SPEECH OF COL. THEODORE
BOOSEVELT
(Continued from page 1.)
play a great part) and this represented the sum of our military achievement after a year of war! A very small degree of efficiency in handling the War Department would have meant that our army in France on January 1st would have far surpassed
in size and equipment the army we have over there now in July. In such event the German drive would probably have been beaten back at once; exactly as if we had done our duty since the sinking of the Lusatiania (which was the "Firing on Fort Sumter" of this war), and had prepared in advance, we would have put a couple of million men in the field a year ago; in which event Russia would never have broken, and the war would unquestionably have been over. The doms consist in being wise in time. It is too late to remedy the past. It is a case of spilled milk. But let us avoid spilling the milk in the same fashion in the future. Let us begin to prepare now so that we shall not next year be again apologizing for a shortage of troops, guns, ships and airplanes. For four years the English and French, and for over three years the Italians have fought our battles, and we have only just begun to fight for ourselves. This is not right. We have a larger population and greater resources than Germany or France, and since Britain taken together. We have played part in the early stages of the world war. Let us make the finishing of the war an American task. By this time next year we ought to have overseas an army as great as the combined armies of France and England, an army of between three and four million fighting soldiers on the various fighting fronts, and this, considering replacements and non-combatants, means at least six million men. Congress should refuse assent to the War Department's present policy of procrastination in deferring the necessary extension of the age for the draft, and in other ways. There is no reason to delay. Besides enormously strengthening army in France we should by this time have declared war on Turkey and to have sent a hundred thousand soldiers to aid our allies in western Asia. We have had to use English ships to ferry our troops across the Atlantic, and we could use Japanese ships to ferry them across the Pacific.
There must be no peace until Germany is beaten to her knees. To leave her with a strangle hold on Russia, and through her vassal allies, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey, dominant in Central Europe and Asia Minor, would mean that she had won the war and taken a giant stride towards world dominion. Belgium must be reinstated and reimbursed; France must receive back Alsace and Lorraine; Turkey must be driven from Europe. Armenia made free, the Syrian Christian protected, and the Jews given Palestine. Italian-Austria must go to Italy and Roumanian-Hungary to Roumania. Moreover, we must raise against the German menace the sleeping sword of the Slavs of Central Europe; we must establish the great free commonwealth of the Poles, the Czecho-Slovaks and the Jugo-Slavs, and save the other submerged people who are their neighbors. Unless we do this, unless we stand by all our Allies who have stood by us, we shall have failed in making the liberty of well-behaved civilized people secure, and we shall have shown that our announcement about making the world saf for democracy was an empty boast, gards winning the war and ending the war. Therefore, the men elected this. These are the tasks set us as refusal should not only be absolutely loyal, but possessed of broad vision, sound common sense, high character and unyielding resolution; for they must grapple with tremendous international questions. A timid man, a half-hearted pacifist or a foolish visionary may do as incalculable harm as the demagogue or conscienceless political trickster. And of course no disloyal man, and no man of merely lukewarm loyalty, should be chosen no matter what the ticket on which he runs.
Loyalty to the people of the United States is the prime need. This is the people's war. It is not the President's war. It is not the war of Congress. It is the war of the people of the United States. Our whole-hearted and undivided loyalty is due to the country as a whole, and to every public servant, whether President or Senator, executive official or Congressman, precisely to the degree in which public servant disinterested and efficiently serves the country. We demand loyalty of this type, for it is the only loyalty for self respecting American freemen.
The events of the last year and a half have shown the necessity of electing a Republican Congress, to support the Administration at every point where it acts vigorously in prosecuting the war, and to supply its deficiencies in the prosecution of the war and in the carrying out of a proper world policy. This country needs a Congress which will give the Administration this kind of vigorous support, and yet will fearlessly supervise, and when necessary investigate, and since the war began the Republicans have acted in a spirit of the largest patriotism, and wholly without regard to questions of politics. For the Administration measures designed for efficiently carrying on the war they have furnished a larger percentage of

support than have the Democrats; and where the Administration was wrong, the bulk of the Republicans have ventured to withstand it and have stood by the country, whereas the bulk of the Democrats have not done so; although there have been some conspicuous and honorable exceptions. It is only by and with conduct that we can win the war and secure the right kind of peace. The need in Congress is for loyal Americans, farsighted, strong-willed resolute, who shall represent the people of this country and who shall stand steadfastly by the nation as a whole.
So much for the war. But when we have closed the giant war we must then prepare for the giant task of peace. First and foremost we should act on Washington's advice and in time of peace prepare against war, so that never again shall we be caught in such humiliating inability to defend ourselves and assert our rights as has been the case curing the last four years. In a democracy such preparation should be the duty of the whole people and not merely of a part of the people. There should be universal obligatory military training in the field for a period of, say six months of all our young men between the ages of nineteen and twenty-one. I wish there could be industrial training also; but the six-year-old would have been forced if any serious industrial training is to be added to the military training. Such training would instill into our people a fervent and intense Americanism which would forever free us from the menace of Bolshevism and all of its American variety, from the frank homicidal march of the I. W. W. to the sinister anti-Americanism of the Germanized socialistic party.
The preparation for the tasks of peace must be in the interest of all our people, of those who dwell in the open country and of those who dwell in the cities; of all men who live honestly and toil with head or hand, and of all women just as much as of all men. Often there can be identity of function between men and women, generally there cannot be, but always there must be full equality of right. Women have the vote in this state. They should be given it at once in the nation at large. And in the councils of this state, and in the councils of our party, women should be admitted to their share of the direction on an exact equality with the men, and whenever it is wisely possible their judgment and directive power should be utilized in association with men rather than separately.
In our industrial activities, alike of farmer, wage worker and business man our aim should be co-operation among ourselves, and control by the state to the degree necessary, not beyond the degree necessary, in order to prevent tyranny and yet to encourage and reward individual excellence. Business men should be permitted to co-operate and combine, subject to such regulation and control by the Government as will prevent injustice and sharp dealing among themselves or toward their employees, or as regards outsiders and the general public. There should be no penalizing of business merely because of its size, although of course, there is peculiar need of supervision of big business. Government ownership should be avoided wherever possible; our purpose should be to steer between the anarchy of unregulated individualism and the deadening formalism and inefficiency of widespread state ownership. From time to time it has been found and will be found necessary for the Government to own and run certain businesses, the uninterrupted prosecution of which is necessary to the public welfare and which cannot be adequately controlled in any other way, but normally this is an inadvisable as to permit such business concerns to be free from all Government supervision and direction. Normally, the necessity is clearly shown, our business should encourage and combat private action and co-operation subject to Government control. Profiteering out of the war should be stopped, but it is more common sense to say that proper profit making should be encouraged, for unless there is a profit the business cannot run, labor cannot be paid, and neither the public nor the Government can be served. And the misery in which this country was plunged before our business was artificially stimulated by the outbreak of the world war shows the need of a protective tariff.
Labor likewise should have full right to co-operate and combine, full right to collective bargaining and collective action; subject always, as in the case of capital, to the paramount general interest of the public, of the commonwealth and the prime feature of this paramount general interest is that each man shall do justice and shall receive justice. Hereafter in a very real sense labor so hudle in a very real sense labor should be treated, both as regards conditions of labor and as regards partners in the enterprises in which it is associated; housing and living conditions must be favorable; effort must be made to see that the work is in interesting, there must be insurance

against old age, sickness and involuntary unemployment; and a share in the money reward for increased business success, whether it comes from efficiency shown in speeding up or from labor-saving machinery or from any other cause. And on the other side there must be no restriction of output, no levelling down, no failure by the man to exert his full powers, and to receive the full reward to which his individual excellence entitles him; and no failure to recognize that unless there is a proper reward for the capital invested and for the management provided, absolute industrial disaster will result to every human bein gin this country.
The welfare of the farmer stands as the bedrock welfare of the entire commonwealth. Hitherto he has not received the full share of industrial reward and benefit to which he is entitled. He have it only as the result of organization and co-operation. Along certain lines the Government must itself cooperate with him; but normally most can be accomplished by co-operation among th' earmakers themselves, in marketing their products, in buying certain things which, particularly need such and in joint action along many lines: The state wisely supplement such work of co-operation, but most of such work it cannot with wisdom itself undertake.
These in brief outline, are the tasks of rebuilding and upbuilding which are before us when peace comes. But the prime needs now are the needs of war. We must insist that the whole country be unified, nationalized, Americanized, and that no division of our American loyalty and American citizenship along the lines of national origin or of adherence to an alien flag b efor one instant tolerated. We must insist upon speeding up the war, so that our giant strength may be fully utilized, and next year our armies overseas at least equal in the aggregate to the German armies. We must refuse any peace except the peace of overwhelming victory, a peace which will guarantee us again the threat of the German world dominion by securing to every well-behaved civilized power its real and complete freedom.

OUR CHICAGO LETTER
The University of Chicago,
July 15, 1918
To the Editor of the Globe:
Pressure of work has prevented me from writing you sooner. The professors at Chicago University do not intend that students should have any idle time on their hands. Everybody works to his fullest capacity and under high pressure. They believe in the "speeding up" program. I have thought of you however and my good Nashville friends. While sitting on the shore of Lake Michigan with my books around me, watching the white caps form and disappear, on the great bosom of the lake, with now and then a huge steamer, a veritable palace on the water, arising in the

distance, only to come into port and be anchored at one of the piers, a sudden feeling seized me to lay down my books and communicate with you. I suppose that Independence Day, July 4th, was celebrated at home with appropriate exercises, with such public-spirited men as A. N. Johnson, J. C. Napier, Preston Taylor, J. W. Grant, H. A. Boyd, C. V. Roman and others to take the lead. I am sure the day was passed amid patriotic festivities and Daniel Webster oratory. Chicago was afire with eloquence and patriotism. Here the 4th of July is celebrated with more eclat than the advent of Christmas. Speakings were held in various parts of the city. It was my pleasure to hear in the lecture厅 Leo Menah, I will the chapel of the university, one of the most eloquent, captivating and inspiring addresses that ever fell from the lips of man. It was delivered by the Reverend Theodore Gerald Soares, Ph. D., D. D., of the University of Chicago.
Dr. Soares has a national reputation and is in great demand when any speech-making is "sur le tapis." I wish all my friends could have heard that address. I do not know whether there is any more real patriotism here than at home or not, but one would think so from all that he sees
CLASS AT BETHLEHEM HOUSE
An interesting group of women gathered last week at the Red Cross Civilian Relief lecture for the Home Service Class, and was later joined Study Class in session at the hour, by a group of young girls of the Bible Mrs. Walter L. Jones, acting as supervisor in the absence of Mrs. Claude D Sullivan, and Mrs. H. H. Corson, of the Red Cross Purple Department, to be invited to a virtual Louise Le Forte, a Government Medical lecturer who had been invited to address the assembled class on the subject of Social Purity.
Mrs. Corson was asked to speak informally, and told the group of the departure of the Negro draftees a few evening previous when she was reporting at the Canteen House, Track Level, Union Station. An understanding gleam of amusement was reflected on each woman's countenance, when Mrs. Corson said: "Now, those fellows were pretty blue at the station; their friends had just departed, but don't you women worry! I have yet to see the bunch of men off together who couldn't scare up a good time. Moreover I told those boys so; I said we were all behind encouragement and understanding, we're being constantly urged to write. I told them bright, cheerful letters, I told those fellows it was also up to them to write home some cheerful things, because I know that in more cases than one, after writing a sorrowful moan home to a temper sympathetic little woman who cannot see a thing in life but her man gone away to be shot up by the Germans, that the said man will join a lot of singing happy comrades. He will assist them in makhour and day. The departing men care-free as any child for many ing the "weklin ring," and be as promised to remember and I truly hope my suggestion will be followed."
Dr. LeForte arrived at that time, and supplemented the statement by saying that the colored men are particularly happy in the cantonments. The love of music and clog dancing whiles away man an hour of leisure where the white man may be put to it to entertain themselves, and she gave some amusing instances. The lecture covered the physiolog-

and hears. I see soldiers every day. in the morning on the way to breakfast at Hutchenson Hall, I see them out drilling. The other afternoon on Stagg Field (the athletic field of the University) I saw six squads under different Captains, going through their maneuvers. Everybody talks war here and the belief is that the Allies will win. The greatest interest and sympathy seem to be for la belle France. Last Sunday, guest troops were here, Dr. Theodore Soares reached the sermon. His "Prayer for France," brought tears to the eyes of every listener.
It has been my pleasure to meet a good many Nashville people, many of whom were formerly my students or graduates. Among these are Mrs. Maggie Stewart Jeffries, Leonard Byers, Wayman Merrill, Mrs. Mary Kane Hill Canty, Mrs. Mabel Harris Ware, the last two formerly teachers in the Nashville city schools. Misses Ruth Gilbert of Roger, Williams University and Miss Paddy Cashin of Straight University at New Orleans are both here taking work in the school of Education. There are not so many students here this summer as in former years. There are two reasons for this: One, of course is the high cost of living and of transporta-
ical, moral, and patriotic reasons why women and girls must maintain a standard, and that standard the highest one each can conceive of, for the moral stamina of the enlisted men. She emphasized the fact of the continuous education on all lines, of the mobilized and encamped armies and said it that he behooves our women-folk to see to it that the men have not grown beyond the women, through training and education in camps. Dr. LeForte has been sent out by the United States Government to prepare the public for an intensive educational propaganda which will illuminate, and be disseminated to civilians through motion pictures and other channels (mobile amusement and information). The mother have not prepared their daughters for the condition confronting us, "she said," and the Government means to make this more and more a matter of control, until the women of the Nation are prepared to handle the matter intelligently." Healthful normal amusements are to be furthered in every way possible, by semi-governmental agencies and young people furnished recreational meeting places under proper chaperonage and conditions.
ASSIGNMENT OF MEN TO THE
ARTILLERY SERVICE
Colored women are much interested in the recent assignment of 20 colored soldiers for Artillery service, according to Mrs. C. F. Cook, of the Civilian Relief, American Red Cross. "Since the United States entered the war the colored women have done all possible to encourage the soldiers of their families to attain the high position they deserve," said Mrs. Cook. "We have been positive desirous that our people should be represented in the Artillery branch of the service, which requires special qualifications. We have now in the Army many graduates of colleges, including Harvard, Yale and other leading universities. Among our soldiers are professional men who have attained success. It is of great significance that such men should be selected for advancement and recognition. The soldiers have made good and the recognition of their possibilities for future attainment is most gratifying."

tion. The other is, that the work in the Junior Colleges, except in a few departments, has not been offered this summer. So many professors have been called to the service their country, that it has been difficult to secure enough teachers to conduct the Junior College, the Senior College and the graduate work in the University. It will come as an agreeable surprise to the older citizens of Nashville to learn that Mr. Tolbert Sublett, a brother of Mr. Major Sublett, who moved to Chicago about two years ago, is now here living with his brother. Mr. Tolbert Sublett, was a college graduate of Fisk and a law graduate of Harvard University. After leaving Harvard he went west to seek his fortune in the practice of his profession. All connection with him was lost, but like Rip Van Winkle, after the lapse of many years, he has returned and is now living with his brother at 3247 Rhodes Ave.

A COLORED AMERICAN EVENT IN
STRUGGLE FOR WORLD DE-
MOCRACY.
Historic Colored Liberty Congress.
July 21st to 29th, 1918 are now historic dates in Colored American history. They mark the approach of Colored Americans to their federal government in behalf of justice and liberty for their racial group. These eight days with a Sabbath day in between, witnessed the gathering together in the nation's capital of defense in the midst of a world's war to formulate and press the Congress a statement of the grievous wrongs visited upon their race and a demand for redress.
Two days were spent in mapping out the plans and arranging for the session of this National Colored Liberty Congress, which lasted six days and five nights. At its height one hundred and fifteen delegates had qualified from about thirty states. They had come from as far north as Massachusetts, as far south as Florida, as far west as Arkansas. The lynching states were well represented save Texas. The states of Tillman, Williams and Vardaman were represented, and Tillman was stricken with his final paralytic shock before this Liberty Congress closed.
Meeting under purposeful questionings of loyalty, and in spite of a Jewish-American major's attempt through the War Department to thwart this race convention, yet there was no wavering among these delegates. They came for a share for their race of the world democracy which their country's president proclaimed as the flower of their race was sent into battle in another hemisphere, and the flower met a fierer faltered. Day after day the delegates met two executive sessions without discussion from the announced purpose of the Pirm in the conviction that they were not the real patriotism in seeking a wipe out the inconsistency of their country at home and were race loyal in seizing this world opportunity to seek for their race relief from senseless and undemocratic proscription, they notified the Chief Executive by sending a written request to him to convene both houses of Congress to hear them and sending a delegation to get his answer. Then they notified the heads of both houses of Congress by sending delegations to the speaker of one and the President of one to ask for a joint session. And in Speech Clark they found a responsive hearer that they the extraordinary opportunity could not be secured. They further sought the advisement of the government by inviting two congressmen to address this Liberty Congress.
These crusaders in war time for Liberty and redress of race wrongs notified the white public of the District of Columbia by these moves of their patriotic purpose. The daily press chronicled somewhat of them, Colored Washington was not left in the dark. On the first Monday night there came into the spacious John Wesley Zion A. M. E. church. Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor, a great, intelligent audience. They heard frank utterances and positive demands for liberation from Maurice Spencer, local chairman, Dr. S. H. Harrison of Oklahoma, H. H. Harrison of New York, the brainy chairman of the Congress, Wm. Monroe Trotter, executive secretary and the eloquent J. W. Bell of Kentucky. At first that audience sat around the big flags still and in suspense. Then as speakers boldly demanded the democracy for their race which was proclaimed for the world they relaxed and then waxed enthusiastic.
FIVE GREAT MASS MEETINGS-
TWO CONGRESSMEN APPROVE
Then the "ice was broken," Tuesday night, despite the rain, another great audience listened to manly and able addresses by Rev. M. F. Sydes, R. I. Atty, W. A. Hawkins, Md.; C. S. Morris, N. Y.; and applauded. Wednesday night a mammoth audience overflowing the big church heard Rep. Martin B. Madden of Illinois, as he approved the holding of the congress as patriciol; Prof. A. W. Whaley of Boston, Rev. M. A. N. Shaw of Boston, whose ovation as he closed at midnight was greater than that to Cong. Madden and again, H. H. Harrison, who was applauded till 12:45 a.m. Thursday night another mammoth audience heard W. H. Twine of Oklahoma. Rev. C. H. Stepteau of Baltimore and greatest of all congressmen, L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the anti-lynching bill, who declared all true Americans at home should be bringing about democracy in the U. S. A. while the soldiers are fighting in Europe for world democracy. Friday night another large audience heard Rev. H. D. Martin of Georgia, brother of Granville Martin, Rev. C. M. Tanner, pastor of the Metropolitan A. M. E. church, and Dr. P. A. Stephens o f chattanooga, Penn.
APPROVE RACE'S PETITION.
Then W. Monroe Trotter read the petition which had been unanimously approved by the delegates and put into the hands of Repo Gillett and of Ben. Penrose for presentation to congress. It was so satisfactory that he Ben Editor, was given a rising vote of thanks, as had Rev. Shaw and Rep. Madden been given and after a biology by Prof. Bell was by rising vote declared the radical race leader.
RECEPTION
Red midnight on Thursday night
Red Cross units gave the delegates
a reception lasting till 2 a. m., a. d.
delightful affair in the lecture hall and
dining room where meals were served
daily. A delightful feature of the
night sessions was the remarkable
singing of Miss Virginia Williams,
prima donna soprano. Invocations
were pronounced by Rev. W. C.
Brown Bishop I. N. Ross, Rev. C. M.
Brown, Rev. C. Weston, Ala., Rev. M.
J. Adams, Ala. Prof. Braxton rendered
organ solos Tuesday night and
Prof. Percula Parishion of Boston
on Thursday night. The collection la-
nched on the table averaged $35.00 per
night. And the Liberty Congress captured
colored Washington.
PETITION PRESENTED.
This incomplete report but half describes this earnest gathering. Saturday at one o'clock it closed. All debts were paid. Votes of thanks were passed to Harrison, Bell, Trotter, Dav. Brown, local committee, the church and to the delegates. Adpourment till another Liberty Congress
next year, this annual meeting being the only sense in which there is to be any permantant organization, was hastened to go to the capitol where the president of the university of moracrya's rights was presented by Hep. F. H. Gillette of Massachusetts.
TO WAR DEPARTMENT.
On Monday, Robt. N. Owens applied for audience at War Department and was put off till Tuesday, when he and Editor Trotter saw the Judge Advocate General, Col. Mayes, and were told the War Department would insist on same transportation for white and Colored soldiers and had turned case of Dr. Jones of St. Louis over to the Department of Justice. They also saw the Adjutant General, Gen. Kane, who said the Ball was not approved and that he would have any injustices within his jurisdiction.
Sen. Penrose plans to read the petition to the U. S. Senate at the best opportunity. So the congress of the United States now knows well the stand of Colored American for a share in world democracy.

MRS. FULLER, NATIONAL SECRE TARY, CALLS UPON THE WOMEN.
My Dear Co-Laborers: Your attention is hereby called to the Woman's Auxiliary National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, to convene with the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, corner Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, Dr. D. B. Gaines, pastor, Little Rock, Ark., September 4, 1918. It is not only our wish, but it is the imperative duty of every Missionary Society, Circle, Y. W. A., Young Women's League, Children's Band, District Association and State Convention to be represented.
The constitutional requirements are as follows: Local Societies or Circles $5.00; Y. W. A. and Young Women's Leagues, $5.00; Children's Band's $2.50; District Associations, $10.00; State Conventions, $20.00; annual members, $1.00. Societies of ten men and under shall be admitted for $2.50, with one delegate. Two delegates shall be admitted for each $5.00 paid. Please send a copy who will come to the sessions on time, stay until they close, and represent you in the Convention—not in town on the streets.
Owing to the fact that the women will be expected to pay the balance of the $10,000 on the purchase price and for equipment of the Theological for equipment of the of the Thea Seminary and Training School, located at Nashville, Tenn., it will be necessary for our women to rally in a heroic manner to enable us to meet our obligations. Every organization is therefore requested to send up a liberal contribution above constitutional requirements. A beautiful medal WILL BE AWARDED to the State that GIVES THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF MONEY during the year for the Woman's Convention work. Also we must remember our obligations to the other Boards, especially Home and Foreign Mission Boards.
We are asking that every organized and individual friend send needle work to be sold at the Convention for our Training School. It is the request of the Executive Board that you SEND YOUR MONEY and LIST OF DELEGATES to the Corresponding Secretary's office by August 15, 1918. The Executive Board's report will be printed in pamphlet form for
NASHVILLE GLOBE, FRIDAY JULY 26, 1918
the Convention. Don't fail to have YOUR report in the office on time so as to appear in the printed report. This would greatly aid us in expediting the business of the Convention, since all committees are appointed from the list of delegates sent in. I am enclosing a report blank, which please fill out carefully in making out your report. It is the desire of our most excellent chorister, Mrs. E. P. Bushell, of Pennsylvania, that you send a gospel song from your church to take part in the Woman's Convention choir of 500 voices. Yours for a successful session, Mrs. M. A. B. FULLER, Corresponding Secretary.
MR. DAVIS INJURED
Mr. Albert Davis, of 5 Garden St., was very painfully wounded last Saturday in a street car accident. Mr. Davis, who for a number of years has been employed at the N. C. & St. L. shops in West Nashville, was on the way to his daily vocation when the unfortunate accident occurred. He was on a Charlotte Pike car and when it neared the shops the car jumped the track. The rear end of the car was thrown around with so much force that it tore a telephone post from its place. Mr. Davis, being the only Negro passenger was sitting on one of the last cross seats. He was thrown to the other side of the car and landed across the back of one of the seats on his stomach. The compact of the fall was so very great until he has been confined to his bed, suffering very much from internal as well as external injuries. At this writing he has experienced some improvement, but is not able to get away from home.
DEATH OF MRS. HATTIE POWSON
Mrs. Hattie Peyton, wife of Mr. John B. Peyton, Superintendent of State Training and Agricultural School, died July 21st, after an illness of a few days. Mrs. Peyton has been the assistant Matron of the school for a number of years. The funeral was conducted from the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, Wednesday morning by Dr. C. H. Clark, pastor.
MRS. SOPHIA COLLIER DIES
Mrs. Sophia Collier died at her home on Buchanan St. Saturday, after an illness of a few months. She leaves a husband, who is with the flag "somewhere in France," and two small children. Mrs. Collier was a member of Third Avenue Baptist Church, from which place the funeral was conducted Monday, by the pastor, Rev. J. L. Harding.
RECORD W. S. S. SALES
Receipts of $16,431, 933, July -- from war-savings and thrift-stamp sales were the largest of any single day since these securities were offer-der to the public. Sales during the first nine days of July totaled $16,552,529.
PATRIOTISM WITHOUT HESITATION
If our soldier boys delivered as long over doing their duty as some of our people at home hesitate over doing theirs, the victory would be doubtful.
It is a sort of financial cowardice to hesitate to put your money in United States Government security to deliberate over the wisdom and patriotism of the investment is to hesitate in supporting our soldiers.
SOLDIER INSURANCE
"I rejoice with you and our heroic men on this just and humane provision the generous American people have made for them and I am proud to have the Treasury Department administer this great law. Please congratulate the men of your gallant force for me on the wisdom they have shown in taking the benefits of the insurance law, and congratulate them particularly for me on the glorious work they are doing on the desecrated soil of noble France for suffering humanity and world freedom. Every American heart is thrilled by the valor and achievements of our splendid sons." (Secretary McAdoo's cable to Gen. Pershing.)
ALLOTMENTS TO SOLDIERS
DEPENDENTS
Allotments to dependents of United State soldiers have increased from 10,000 at the beginning of the war to 800,000. For the month of May these allotments totaled $5,000,000. Thirty thousand commissioned officers are allotting $1,000,000 a month to their families; noncommissioned officers and privates; $4,000,000. A addition nearly $50,000,000 of Liberty Loan banks of the second Liberty loan will have been paid for by members of the Army and will be turned over to the purchasers during August, the payments having been made out of allotments made for the purpose.
HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.
To successfully finance the war it is necessary that owners of Liberty bonds hold their bonds if possible. Where for any good reason it is necessary for them to turn their bonds into cash they should seek the advice of their bankers. Liberty loan bonds are very desirable investments and crafty individuals are using various means to secure them from owners not familiar with stock values and like matters. One method is to offer to exchange for Liberty bonds stock or bonds of powerful organizations represented as poultry, a much higher income than the bonds. There are various other methods used and likely to be used, some of the gold-brick variety and others less crude and probably within the limits of the law. All offers for Liberty bonds except for money and at market value should be scrutinized carefully. The bonds are the safest of investments and have nontaxable and other valuable features.
To hold your Liberty loan bonds, if possible, is patriotic. To consult your bankers before selling them is wise.
LOANS TO OUR ALLIES
The United States has now roamed to our allies $6,091,590,000. The advances average about $400,000,000 a month. These loans to our allies are analogous to lending weapons to friends who are aiding you in the defense of your own home. The money is being used to defeat our enemy, to maintain armies fighting side by side with our soldiers, and fleets patrolling the same ocean with our sailors.

Whereas, our boys are to fight and are even now fighting side by side with the liberty loving nations of the world and are receiving a man's chance in this struggle, therefore be it resolved that when the war ends and God Almighty shall sheath his sword and declare that wars shall be no more, that we expect and demand every protection for our wives, our children and our loved ones."

The recommendation of the retiring Grand Exalted Ruler, Fred Harper, of the white Elks, that all litigation against the colored Elks be abonded, is due entirely to the tact and diplomacy of Mr. Scott, whose high standing with Mr. Harper, a former fellow-townman at Wilmington, N. C., thus made it possible for the colored Elks to save thousands of dollars in real money. The white and colored Elks are no longer rivals; they are warm friends.
The convention of the Elks at Baltimore August 27th to 29th is to be the "last word" in Elks claves, and Baltimore knows how to extend hospitality with a capital "H". Col. William ("Bill") H. Lewis, that prince of entertainers, will have general charge of the arrangements. The business will be held in Peter Hall. The great parade will take place on Tuesday, the 27th, and the grand ball will be given on Thursday day night, the 29th. Visitors from cities within a radius of 200 miles will come to Baltimore to enjoy these two spectacular events.
So, the last week in August will be a record-breaking period in Elkdom, with Grand Exalted Ruler Ar-
nold Scott in the center of the mire.

GENERAL LAUNDERING AND MENDING FOR SOLDIERS. Hundreds of women are now being employed by the Government in the work of repairing the garments of soldiers and also in the laundries of canonments. The former work is said by the Quartermaster General's Office to have cut down the issue of new clothing and new shoes from thirty to forty per cent in one instances. In employing the women preference is given to the wives, sisters and mothers of men in the service.
The plants where the mending is done are run in connection with forts and camps by the Camp Quartermaster. When a soldier tears or rips a garment he turns it in to his Supply Officer. In turn it is taken to the repair shop managed by the Conservation and Reclamation officer. When in order the garment is possible is returned to the original owner. The same methods of thrift are being used in conjunction with camp laundries. By paying one dollar a month a soldier is entitled to a weekly bundle of laundry of which the number of articles is not limited. In almost all instances women operate these laundries. They also mend and repair all garments before they are laundered.

BARFIELD NEWS.
Dutchman's Bend, about five miles from the city, near Harding Road, shortly after seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, July 9th, and fell on either side of the track a twisted mass of idon and steel while the fearful impact of the blow drove the express car of the northbound train into the weak wooden coaches loaded with human beings, telescoped the smoking car in front, piloted high in the air, the coaches behind it the passengers en route to the powder plant, and some 150 regular passengers. There were scorses of dead bodies lying in heaps under the high piloted debris. Many were burned and charred beyond recognition. Many legs, arms, feet, even heads were strewn along the wreckage, aside from the headless, mangled bodies, the cries for help of the jured and the groans of the dying. Many were pinned with the wreck and the groans under great heaps of twisted iron and splintered wood. The indescribable blood-stained wreckage added to the gruesome sight and heartrending scenes.
Maj. George Hall, a porter on the out-going train, was among the dead. He was well known and highly respected in this city. He was unusually popular in fraternal circles. He was one of the most valued officers of the Uniform Rank Kn'ights of Pythias of Tennessee. His unrighteous zeal and energy in bringing the Uniform Rank from obscurity into international importance and efficiency won for them the second prize at the Supreme Encampment last August at St. Louis, Mo., which he ed him an apostle and master of military art Under his command and the wise leader among the incomprehensible internep Brigadier General, Preston Taylor, our boys hard drilling, brought the bus home. A valuable prize of one hundred and fifty dollar silk flag Maj. Hall will live in the hearts of the Uniform Rank and the brothers for many generations.
